Tips to banish the mid winter blues

Tips to banish the mid winter blues

After a particularly chilly week it seems like Spring is still far away, so we thought a few tips to help get you through the rest of Winter was in order!

1. Too cold to venture out? Try this instead!

Winter is the perfect time for hibernating, staying indoors and keeping warm. Probably our favourite Winter activity of all tbh!
It's also perfect for finally finishing that novel you started months ago on the beach, or reorganising a cupboard space that keeps getting filed in the 'later' basket.  Or get cosy in bed and enjoy an afternoon nap - you don't need to 'earn' rest, your body actually needs it! Take advantage of being inside and the reduction in daylight hours in the wintertime, which affects affects your internal circadian clocks and makes them want to sleep more.  If you need a little help drifting off Goodnight Sweetheart is perfect for this.

2. While away a few hours by the fire.

There is nothing quite like the glow and warmth from an open fire, so if you are lucky enough to have one pour yourself a cup of tea and enjoy the moment. 
Or if it's a lovely afternoon settle in by the fire pit, take your thermos and a magazine with you. Afterglow is perfect for fireside sipping - sweet and spicy warmth that makes you glow from the inside out.

3. Stay in your PJs all day!

We love that Winter is the perfect excuse is to stay in your pj's (or your loungewear - big fans of that too!). Make the most of it, grab your journal and a throw rug, get cosy and start writing. Again a cup of tea is the perfect accompaniment! Amulet is a great Vitamin C boost containing rosehip, elderflower and ginger which are all very high in this natural immunity booster.

And remember that the thing about seasons is they constantly change. Spring is only 7 short weeks away so make the most of this season before it too passes.

Big cups of love to you xx
