5 Foolproof Ways to Fight the Winter Blahs

The harsh winds of winter can certainly take their toll on your body and mind, but don’t allow less-than-lovely weather to weaken your fondness for this fabulous time of year. Have a happy and enjoyable season and fight the winter blahs through following these cool tips:

 

1. Make merry with friends or family

Parties are great way to counteract gloomy days! Bring together favorite friends or a handful of family members and de-stress through savoring delicious food and fantastic company. Even taking a quick coffee (or cider) break with a colleague will offer much needed downtime and friendly conversation.

2. Beat the blues with the sweet smell of cinnamon

The scent of cinnamon reduces anxiety and fatigue. Fill your house with the aroma by simmering a large pot of water, apples and cinnamon sticks on the stove. The Christmassy fragrance will help quell worrisome thoughts and have your home smelling caroler-ready.

3. Keep your feet from complaining

Soothe your sore and aching tootsies by soaking them in relaxing Epsom salt at the end of a long day. Your muscles can become especially strained this time of year, so remember to show them some TLC and keep your feet happy.

4. Cheer up with chili, soup or stew

Count on your tried and true store bought brands or make it a fun culinary project! Look up recipes online and experiment with new spices, sweet and savory stews, or familiar flavors. Making pot of stew, soup or chili a couple of times a week will warm the stomach and the soul and keep well in the refrigerator, providing you and yours with multiple comforting meals on blustery days.

5. Get glad about a new way to obtain a youthful glow

Recent advancements in anti-aging solutions via biotechnology may mean that we’ll be experiencing considerably less stress over the appearance of our skin. Nerium’s biotechnologists have developed the patented NAE-8 extract to combat the signs of aging. NeriumAD Age-Defying Treatment utilizes the NAE-8 extract to diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and improve the look of sagging or aging skin. Noticeable results are visible within just a short time of the first application of NeriumAD Age-Defying Treatment. Decreased anxiety over my skin’s appearance over these next couple cold months? That’s definitely something I can get happy about.

“Bleak” is an adjective that should be confined to describing the weather, and never used to characterize your mood. Let your spirits be raised and learn to love winter this year.
