It’s never easy to say goodbye to summer, but like it or not, fall is knocking at the door. There are usually two types of people this time of year: the pumpkin-spice lovers who can’t wait for September 1, and the die-hards still cruising with the top down in shorts until the first snowfall.
Me? I usually hold onto summer with two hands and brace myself until winter hits. But this year, I’ve decided to fall in love with fall—lean into the cooler temps, sip the pumpkin spice, and cozy up for the ride.
If HIGH Fitness has taught me anything, it’s that when you find products that truly work for you, it’s magic. That’s why we love collaborating with brands that share our mission: to have fun, feel good, and become your best self. This season, we’ve lined up some incredible partners and products to make your fall a 12/10 experience. And yes—we use these ourselves.
Here are our top 7 ways to “fall into fall” (with the products we swear by):
1. Shining, Happy Skin ✨
One of the biggest shifts from summer to fall is your skin. Cold, dry air can leave you feeling dull—but glowing skin isn’t just for summer. Enter two game-changers:
- Motherline Balm (as seen in Vogue)
- At 47, I’ve never had more compliments on my skin. This all-natural balm (Arnica, Beeswax, Comfrey, Lavender + Rosemary) supports collagen production, deeply nourishes, and even helps with burns, scars, and bug bites. A little goes a long way, and the results are nothing short of transformational.
- Stupid Happy Self Tanner
- Summer may fade, but your glow doesn’t have to. Stupid Happy delivers a natural, streak-free tan with a dusting powder that smells amazing. Even if you’ve had self-tanner mishaps in the past (me too!), this formula makes it simple—and the results look stupid good.
2. Upgrade Your Sleep Game 💤
Fall mornings make it way too easy to hit snooze—and honestly, we say do it when you can! Sleep is one of the most underrated keys to both physical and emotional health. The secret? Investing in your bed setup.
- Twinkle Beds
- Made in the USA, these custom, made-to-order mattresses use climate-control materials and health-expert insights to give you your best sleep ever. Take their quiz, get your perfect fit, and start sleeping like a log.
- Cozy Earth Sheets
- Oprah’s favorite for 7 years in a row, these bamboo sheets are breathable, oversized, silky-soft, and actually get softer with every wash. Trust us: once you try them, you can never go back to your old sheets. And don’t even get me started on their pajamas, perfect fit with the softest material that gets better and better as you wash. If you already get home and want to put on your PJs, wait until you try the cozy earth ones!
3. Refresh Your Look 💄✨
Fall is its own vibe when it comes to hair and makeup. Deeper tones, moody vibes, playful textures, and fresh hairstyles, fall can bring out your inner goddess and we encourage it! Think warm brown and orange palettes, cozy braids + sleek buns. Cozy, comfortable and fabulous.
- Shine Cosmetics
- With perfect timing, Shine Cosmetics (one of our fav happy shiney brands) is launching new fall Lip Liners for fall on Sept 22nd! Never tried lip liner?

- Pony Pick
- Since I can remember I can remember, we have used Pony pick for all of our HIGH hair needs. Their patented elastic-remover + no-break elastics make braids, buns, and ponytails stress-free (and tear-free). You will never take out elastics again the old fashioned way, hairstyles for you and your kids just got way easier and a lot more fun!
