August Ain’t Over, and Neither Are You: 3 Ways to Reignite Your Soft Life Mid-Summer

Bougie Bestie, August came in hot! And I mean literally and figuratively. If you’ve been moving non-stop, still recovering from July’s chaos, or just now realizing summer’s slipping away while your suitcase still collecting dust—this one’s for you. July had me by the hair follicles!

Because the real it girls don’t let summer slide without at least one ✨soft life reset✨. Whether you’ve been outside or hiding in AC all month, it’s not too late to realign, reclaim, and romanticize the rest of your summer. Let’s tap into 3 rich-girl rituals to wrap up August in full glow-up mode.

1. The “Bougie But Boundaried” Reset (Soft Life Systems)

Let’s talk energy. Not the green juice, 5 a.m. kind (unless that’s your thing), but the boundaries-are-bae kind. (I literally have a guy wanting to date me to take part of my boundaries, sis! Don’t let the word scare you!)

This month, take inventory of what’s been draining you—be it people, projects, or plans you didn’t really wanna commit to in the first place.

Now ask: “Would a soft life version of me even say yes to this?”

Start small:

  • Say no without explaining.

  • Block off one evening a week just for you.

  • Create a do not disturb vibe with a new bedtime playlist, silk robe, and room spray that smells like vacation. Have you smelled my scent, “My Perfect Day” yet? Email me so I can ship you a bottle!

2. Book the Bougie Break You’ve Been Putting Off (Glow-Up Energy)

You don’t need 10 days in Greece to feel like that girl. Sometimes, a weekend staycation in your own city can give what it needs to give.

Hop on www.SeekWanderlust.com, find a hotel with a rooftop pool and room service, pack your silkiest pajamas, and pretend you’re in Bali. (We call this delusion with a travel rewards program.) Members of Tay’s Travel Club can earn cash in the bank by booking in their back office on SeekWanderlust. Unsure?! Ask me how!

Bonus tip:

Invite your bestie, create a Pinterest board for the vibe, and shoot your “soft life influencer” content like the cameras are always rollin’. 💅🏽🧳🤳🏽Don’t forget to record the room and grounds before you leave and submit your Expedia Affiliate Program! $100 here and there never hurt anyone!

3. Romanticize Your Every Day (Manifest & Move)

August isn’t just back-to-school energy…t’s back-to-you energy.

Before we head into September with pumpkin-spice chaos, build a few rich routines that remind you of who TF you are.

Try this:

  • Write down your “Ideal Bougie Day” from wake-up to wind-down

  • Pick one thing from that list and start living it now (luxury candle-lit baths, solo mimosa brunches, journaling in a café… you name it)

The goal isn’t perfection. It’s presence.

You’re not behind. You’re right on time, baby.

Your soft life isn’t waiting on fall, money, or permission! It’s already here, if you choose it.

So don’t let August go out with a whimper.

Let her go out with a glow, a flight booked, and a boundaries-up, face-beat, champagne-poured type of vibe. Invite me to the brunch while you’re at it!

You’ve got 4 weeks to be unforgettable.

Let’s make sure you don’t forget you either.
