Each month it seems like there are more and more fads about improving your health and wellbeing.

With autumn upon us many are thinking about how to preserve some summer memories to last through the coming cold months ahead. One way is to get a nice array of indoor houseplants started.

October is the month to help more people become aware about blindness. This month is to recognize everyone, young and old, from those who are dealing with the onset of blindness to those who have been blind nearly their entire lives. Being visually impaired is a huge struggle, and the more you know about it, the more you can help. Whether your senior parent is blind or not, there’s still much you can do for those who are living without their sight right now.

September is the perfect time to try and add more fruit and veggies to your weekly menu; there is so much fresh bounty available this month! Even if you just add one more. If you eat lots of ripe tomatoes already, try adding an eggplant recipe one week, asparagus the next, pears the next and then boysenberries. Just change it up. If you are up to the challenge, add more than one new vegetable per week.
