You're just a few Fall fixes away from feeling fantastic

Remember back in September when we told you The Time for a Fall Overhaul is NOW? Whether you fixed up your health routine THEN, or you decided The Time for a Fall Overhaul is LATER, we brought in Shape Magazine Editor-at-Large Bahar Takhtehchian -- and she brought in her favorite seasonal solutions from Nivea, Splenda and Degree for giving a healthy boost to every body.

Move Your Body

Need some incentive to pick up where you left off with your Fall workout routine? What if moving more meant smelling better? Bahar explains, "Degree has a product called MotionSense, and this is an antiperspirant with a unique technology. It actually releases extra protection when you move, and you're getting 48 hours of wetness and odor protection and long-lasting freshness so you can do more this Fall." And its great Berry Cool scent with notes of wild strawberry and raspberry will leave you smelling especially delicious.

Feed Your Body

Speaking of delicious, let's talk desserts...yes, as part of your health routine. Life's too short to pass up all the holiday treats, so Bahar suggests you indulge, with a few minor adjustments. "Sometimes the extra calories that you're getting from the extra sugar and sweets and savories...that can really add up," she tells us, "But the good news is, you don't have to skimp on flavor to enjoy the festivities." Bahar recommends a visit to 365SweetSwaps.com for tips and tasty recipes using Splenda sweetener products. From Splenda-made drinks (apple cider!) to soups (sweet potato bisque!) to those delicious desserts (pumpkin pie!)...you'll find sweet solutions for your every holiday craving.

Smooth Your Body

Now that the cool, dry air of Fall has settled in, that seasonal cycle of tighter, drier skin has begun. Bahar says to keep this largest organ of ours healthily glowing, Nivea Extended Moisture Body Lotion is a fantastic product. "It's designed to leave your skin feeling soft and smooth for 48 hours. Now, it intensely moisturizes your skin to heal dry skin. It also alleviates any tightness that you might be feeling in the fall and the winter months," explains Bahar. How? Provitamin B5, plus a patent-pending Hydra IQ technology. "It's going to absorb quickly, it has a non-greasy formula, and you can find [it] in most mass retailers for around $7.99," adds Bahar.
