Traditions of the last day of summer August 31, 2018

On August 31, Orthodox Christians honor the memory of two martyred brothers: Florus and Laurus. At one time they were masons, masters of their craft, and professed Christianity.

There was one episode in their lives when they helped build a pagan temple. They agreed to this work only for the purpose that all people participating in the construction could learn about Christianity. And so it was, their confession and God’s help in healing those who asked.

After the construction was completed, the brethren smashed all the pagan idols and held a real Orthodox service. For these deeds, the government ordered the brothers to be thrown into a well and buried.

After the incident, the death rate of livestock, namely horses, decreased, so the legend goes. It was from this time that it became a tradition on August 31 to respect horses.

Signs for the last day of summer August 31, 2018

What to expect if it's the last day of summer:

- if horses behave restlessly, this indicates that bad weather may occur soon;

- in order to find out what the harvest will be next year, it is worth considering the wormwood root on this very day. If the root is thick, then you don’t have to worry, otherwise, you should take care of last year’s harvest;

- if the air becomes fresher, it means bad weather;

- if it’s very hot outside and the sun is hiding behind the clouds, it means rain;

- if there are scarlet stars in the sky - this is autumn weather, rain and wind are expected.

Don’t despair, because the first month of autumn will also be warm.

Long walks in sunny weather

Statistically, summer is favorite time years for 48% of people. And perhaps the main reason for such popular recognition is the decent weather outside. Love for summer is a natural phenomenon, because people love what makes them happy. And summer does this without any tricks - the sun itself creates ideal conditions for healing and getting rid of stress, even on a purely chemical level. While the sun is in the sky and still gives its warmth, such a treasure cannot be neglected, and whenever possible it is worth going outside. Only in the sun is the human body able to produce and, importantly, absorb vitamin D, without which the human body dies and withers. Nervousness, tearfulness, hysteria, excitability, poor skin color - all this is so typical of winter with its lack of sunlight, and is corrected simply by staying outside in good weather. Stock up on vitamin D at all costs so that by spring you don’t look like a squeezed lemon or a neurotic fury.

Field trips

Picnics, trips to pick mushrooms, berries, or just aimless forays into the forest are best organized in the summer. In some areas there are too many midges in August, but when choosing suitable place you can spend the last days of summer enjoying the serene peace in the lap of nature. In August the nights are still relatively warm, so you can go to the forest with tents and spend the night under the open sky, admiring the stars and the chirping of night insects. For large companies, there is a greater choice of activities: outdoor games are always pleasant, useful and help strengthen friendship.

Romance of summer nights

August is the last opportunity to go out at night and not get sick within five minutes. You don’t have to waste time sitting in cafes and restaurants, but simply walk around the city, saving a lot at the same time. In winter, it is difficult to get out somewhere late in the evening due to the eternal darkness and cold. It's much easier to do this in the summer. Think about the places you would like to see, the buildings whose facades are lit up at night.

Theme parties

Since most people love summer and rightly so, they also yearn for its passing en masse and popularly. Almost every decent club considers it its duty to organize a party in honor of the end of summer. Often even with fireworks and other attributes of major holidays. And if the party is at night (as it often happens), then you can combine two points of the obligatory August program at once: buzz all night and remember the passing summer.

Shopaholism and reasonable savings

Every normal woman, as well as anyone who wants to save money, should be a shopaholic in August. There simply won’t be a better opportunity, and you shouldn’t think that it will be cheaper during the New Year’s sales. No, August is the time of the biggest discounts and the most desperate battle for the last promotional pair of shoes. At the end of summer, not only summer is sold out, but also last year's autumn collections, which are sold for three kopecks in order to clear space for new seasonal arrivals. In August you can even buy a down jacket or fur coat for much more favorable prices than already in September, and even more so in December.

Slowly but surely the warm summer days are becoming obsolete. Summer, and with it summer holidays, ended. Wait, there's still a week! “What will you get done in a week?” - my friend, who is still in school and cannot think about the fact that September is coming, asked incredulously. So I started thinking: how to spend the last 7 days fruitfully in order to start the school year with renewed vigor.

Option #1

If the weather in your region allows it, then you can go camping with a tent and true friends under the motto “Farewell summer!” Well, why not relax: forest, fire, tent, fishing, songs with a guitar. Then you will come home, rested and with new fats, and the only thing left is to thoroughly wash off the river water. But you will bring a sea of wonderful photographs, impressions and good mood in your backpacks!

Option No. 2

Go to another city. Just for one or two days. For example, I live in Belarus, and it’s not at all difficult for us to go, for example, to Vitebsk, Brest or Grodno. A ticket costs a maximum of $10, and you can conduct all excursions yourself. Arriving at your destination, following only the directions that are given to you local residents, you can see a lot of beautiful churches, churches, bridges, palaces and parks. Your short voyage can take half a day, so if there is an evening train, you can safely go home. Again with a sea of impressions.

Option No. 3

This option is suitable only for girls who are endlessly absorbed in their only hobby - shopping. The rest of you, please skip the paragraph. So, for those who best vacation- shopping trip, I suggest scheduling a couple of days and running shopping. Here's a little plan for you: day one - go choose your shoes, because the new school year is also a new fashion season, so you can't do without a pair of autumn shoes. Day two - go get your bag, otherwise where will you put everything you buy next. Next comes day three and the purchase of cosmetics, which you can’t do without, that’s for sure, as well as hair dyes if you decide to radically change your image to blonde, for example, to redhead. Day four - it would be nice to buy yourself a shirt to, so to speak, have a businesslike appearance.

Variations of layouts can be varied, this is just an example. Happy shopping!

Option No. 4

Exercise and go on a diet. Only this should bring joy. Therefore, my advice: if you love any sport, give it maximum time, but if you physical activity If you have a persistent dislike, take up yoga. Buy a tutorial and start getting into this oriental art. You can also choose a diet so as not to exhaust yourself and not starve your stomach. In any case, such a week will only bring you benefits. Can you imagine how great you will look by September 1st?!

Option #5

Jump with a parachute. This will, I am sure, be your most vivid summer experience, which will remind you of the last week of summer for a long time. The jump, although a little expensive, is worth it! Soaring under the dome, experiencing unearthly delight - isn’t this the best vacation?!

Option No. 6

Go to the last open-air of the summer. Gather all your friends and go! Incendiary dancing to dynamic music and all this in the open air. If you don't like discos, it doesn't matter. My suggestion is to go to a concert: from rock festivals to the concert of your beloved Dima Bilan. In addition to the memories, you will also have a rocker jacket, bought as a souvenir, and which you will not wear again, but it will warm your heart that it is in your wardrobe.

I voiced these options to my friend. She is a big fan of extreme sports and discos. Guess what she chose? Of course, a parachute jump and the last summer disco. I've already rushed to book tickets.

And you, dear readers, hurry up to think about your vacation, because summer is counting down its last days...

Morning last day per year. Snowy, bright sunlight, possible only in winter, penetrates the window. The threshold that separates us one step from the new, unknown, full of hope New Year.

There is so much to do. And don’t forget in the heap of troubles, think about the most important thing. Our small cheat sheet will allow you to dwell on the most important points of the last day of the outgoing year:

When you wake up, tune in to positive emotions. Do you remember how in the program “Around Laughter” one of the comedians told how to get up in the morning in a good mood? While still lounging in bed, lift your right leg up. And tell her: “Hello, my right little leg! You are so beautiful! I love you so much!”...Funny, but right. Love yourself and the whole world around you. The day will pass easily and naturally.
In the morning, look through the holiday table menu and grocery list. Surely, non-perishable products were purchased in advance. Provide a refrigerator
missing purchases. It’s better to do this early so that you don’t have to send your husband for a bunch of green onions before the clock strikes.
Prepare all the necessary preparations for the festive dinner. You can cut up cheese and sausages, put them in a bag and put them in the refrigerator. Take care of such little things so as not to occupy everyone at once at the finish line. In order to correctly create a menu for the holiday table, we recommend reading the article “ «.
Take a look around the home. You've probably already done some spring cleaning. But you need to spend about 20 minutes clearing away creative clutter, putting things in their places and putting the finishing touches on decorating your home.
Treat yourself to a couple of hours of real relaxation. Take a warm bath, relax and throw the dirty laundry out of your head. It's time to clean your feathers. Hair care, face masks, devote time to yourself for your loved one. If you have decorated your home with themed scented candles. Place them in the bath. Treat yourself to a real spa salon.
It's time to take care of setting the festive table. Get out the cloth tablecloth
and napkins. Even if it is not customary to use fabric textiles in your home every day, today is the day when it is absolutely justified. Polish your holiday glasses until they shine. In addition to dishes and dishes, place small symbols on the table New Year's holiday. Appease all the dogs that live in your home. Give the best emotions to your best friend if you keep a pet. Place soft toys near the Christmas tree in a visible place. Today and all next year the Dog rules the roost!
A dog is a child of nature. Dependence on material values is alien to her. Follow your instinct for freedom. Leave the prim, expensive clothes in the closet. Choose comfortable clothes made from natural fabrics for the celebration. Don't let conventions hold you back New Year's Eve. Naturalness and comfort are the trend of this season.
Remember the old New Year's song about five minutes from your favorite movie.“The clock will strike soon, make peace, those who are in a quarrel.” Pick up the phone. Make an important call. Do not carry with you New Year a burden of misunderstandings and conflicts. This will help you get started new life in the New Year with confidence and calm.

It's time to see off old year? Are your friends already on the doorstep? Let your home be filled with crystal laughter and the enchanting clink of festive glasses. Happy New Year!

Summer will end very soon. But there are still a couple of weeks left that can be spent fun and usefully. What should you do at the end of summer?

If you didn't have time

If you didn’t have time to put your things in order during the summer, you should do it now. Throw away all unnecessary items that have accumulated over the year. Old toys can be given to low-income families or taken to an orphanage. Hand over written paper and old magazines to waste paper. Sell those things that are still in good condition, but you no longer need. Clean your computer. Organize your data and remove unnecessary information. You'll see: space will be freed up, air and space will increase, and your mood will improve.

Didn't manage to go to the sea or even to the shore of a lake or river? Do it now! Go outdoors. If you have a lot to do or travel too far, sunbathe in the garden, on the balcony or on summer cottage. What is summer without a tan?

If there was no time

Your child is going to kindergarten or school, but the necessary things have not been purchased? So, go shopping. Buy clothes for the garden, sports or school uniforms. Don't forget your shoes. Stock up on office supplies. Even if you don’t know exactly what you will need in your garden or school, there are items that you definitely need to buy. Pens, simple and colored pencils, sketchbooks, paints or gouache, an eraser, simple notebooks, a stand for textbooks or pencils - all this or at least several things will be required.

Didn’t make it up for the fall, winter or the whole working (school) year? Get started! Analyze: what are you going to do, what will you have to do, what new things do you want to learn and study, what books to read. Make a list, set a time, think about how exactly you will do all the things. You can write entries in a diary or create a working folder on your computer. This will make life much easier in the future.

If you have received few impressions

Have you worked a lot, had little time and did not attend interesting events? Find out what interesting events will be held in the last weeks of summer, choose what you like best and go there.

Didn't find anything interesting? So, go out with friends or family for a picnic, go to another city, explore the sights, wander along unfamiliar streets. Rent a bike or go for a walk in the park. You can go to a closed ice rink, skydiving, horse riding. Sometimes it takes so little to get a great experience.

If you forgot that summer is the season of fruits, berries and vegetables

Now is the time to get your vitamins. Eat more different berries and fruits, pamper your family with culinary delights. Prepare currant pie, raspberry pie,... Try new exotic fruits.

Have you ever tried it? Now is the time to do it! This drink will help quench your thirst on a hot day, fill you up well in the morning, and delight you with its bright taste. It’s easy to prepare: you just need to mix any berries and fruits (you can also make a vegetable smoothie). If desired, you can add yogurt, milk, mineral water, juice. If you want to make your smoothie even brighter, decorate it with berries, coconut flakes, and dark chocolate. If you are going to prepare a hearty drink for breakfast, add nuts, cereal, muesli.

Want to cool down with some ice cream? Prepare it yourself. It will be much healthier than buying regular ice cream. Make a puree of berries or fruits (you can mix them) and freeze them in the freezer. You can add yogurt or milk. When the mixture begins to harden, you can stick sticks into it and then you will get real ice cream.

If you're tired

If you are overtired and don't feel like it vivid impressions, and in general, you don’t want to do anything, rest. But do it differently than usual. Don't lie in bed every day, grab a cup of coffee or a glass of juice and enjoy a drink on the balcony or porch of your home. It is advisable to wake up a little earlier than usual. Then you can watch how nature wakes up. Walk barefoot on the grass in the morning or afternoon. And in the evening, admire the starry sky and dream. This will definitely energize and give you strength.

If possible, go swimming in a river or lake. This relaxes and strengthens the muscles and spine. Do light exercises in the morning, go for a walk in the park. Try to spend more time outdoors, away from cars. Communication with nature has a beneficial effect on the entire body and improves mood.

If you want to do something new

A couple of weeks before the end of summer, you can have time to read several interesting books, get a new hairstyle, arrange a photo shoot, take a useful course online, start learning a foreign language or master the basics of yoga, attend weekend courses, try several master classes.

Remember what you have long wanted to do, but constantly put it off due to lack of time. And start doing it right now. Even two weeks is sometimes enough to change your life for the better and start a new project.

And don't forget to enjoy the last warm days. After all, autumn will soon begin, and life will flow in a completely different direction.
