Beat Winter Blues!


Some researchers have dubbed the third week in January “Blue Week”. It is the time of year when the winter blues kick in…the tree and décor are neatly put away, the excitement of the new year has faded, gift cards received during the holidays are spent, and it is colder than ever.


Here are our favorite ways to warm up and melt away the blues…

·      Aromatherapy spa treatments, they work wonders to create mood shifts.
·      Yoga and fun dance classes can break up the monotony of your day and get your blood flowing.
·      Natural supplements such as Gingko Biloba and St. Johns Wart have been shown to create happiness, concentration, and relaxation.
·      Embrace the snow and the cold, bundle up and play outside like you were 10 again.
·      Mellow out with a winter cocktail - try a clove julep, dandy shandy, or the classic Irish coffee.
·      Buy yourself fresh flowers, they are almost guaranteed to cheer you up as soon as you lay your eyes on them.
·      Start thinking about what flowers you will be planting in the spring and what improvements you want to make to your yard.


Try these 7 tips for beating the blues, and before you know it perennials will be popping up and bikini season will be among us.

Fashionably Yours,
Violet
