Hello, September, bring on the fall feels! Month of my birth, best of all months, beginning of the best season of the year. I’m so glad you’re here! I think I’ve gotten a little ahead of you, though, because you still want to do this:
And I’m ready for this:
Let me help you catch up. Start like this:
And move on from there…
Soon we’ll be here:
What are you waiting for? Let’s go!
Do you, wondering reader, have the fall feels yet? Is the weather cooperating, or are you still waiting, like me?
For so many women I know, Sunday is the day for self care. It’s the day most of us are getting ready for the week ahead, and a great time to pause for breath before Monday.
With that in mind, I’ve decided to make every Sunday “Self Care Sunday” here at Bring Your Wonder. We’ve got tons of ideas, tips, DIYs, and more to share, so check back every week!
This week I want to share a simple + amazing 3-ingredient DIY recipe from Camp Wander for “Dirty Feet Scrub” that you can make in about 3 minutes with things you already have at home, and use every day.
We use it daily around here, and if it can keep my almost-always-bare feet looking and feeling clean and soft, I’m pretty sure it’ll work for just about anyone. (When I was a kid, my mom kept a bar of Lava soap in the tub just for my feet!)

You can play around with the recipe; I’ve used hand soap instead of dish soap, and eucalyptus + peppermint essential oils instead of lemon (divine!!). For the filthiest feet, I recommend regular old Dawn.

Remember: self care is a daily practice.
So that’s it! Now go do something nice for your Self. 🙂

The Pink of Perfection: A Story Told in Stock Photos
Another summer is coming to an end, and we all know what that means: it’s time for the Annual Eternal Pink of Perfection Gala! Before we close up the summer house and head back to the hut until spring, we do hope you’ll join us for a long weekend of fun, friends, food, and foolishness!
The house and gardens have never looked lovelier. The tulips truly outdid themselves this year, and now the roses seem determined to send summer out in a pink blaze of glory. You must come see them.
Where to stay
Your rooms are all ready, so of course you’ll stay with us!
What we’ll do
We have loads of entertainment lined up, with something for everyone.
You’ll probably never want to leave the grounds, but in case you do, you can walk, scoot, or take one of the cars in to town (Henry can drive shuttle if you’d prefer) for some sightseeing, shopping, or a little local flavor.
You know we’re going to feed you…
What to wear: Dress Code: Pink
Come as you are, darlings, of course, as long as you’re in the pink. See the gallery below for some sartorial inspiration and fond memories from previous galas (you may see yourself there…hello, my beautiful people!).
If you need something pink to wear, don’t worry, we’ve got you covered!
What to do when you get here:
Come to the gatehouse. If no one is there, use the phone to call the house, and we’ll send someone down to collect you.
Say you’ll come!
The party starts when you get here and lasts until you leave, so come early and stay late! We can hardly wait to see you!
xo always,
Margot Hamilton Wainwright
