Top 5 tips to beat the winter blues
Do you struggle to get motivated in the cold, dark winter months? Well, here's Flock and Fern's 5 top tips to help beat the winter blues!
1. Make the most of daylight
It may feel unappealing when it's cold outside but exposure to natural light (and Vitamin D) increases the levels of serotonin in the brain, which is associated with improved mood.
2. Eat well & exercise
Good food full of vitamins can help improve your mood. A brisk walk with friends helps to release endorphins and make a huge difference to how you feel.
3. Get lost in a good book
Research has shown that reading can improve your mental wellbeing by encouraging relaxation, so get stuck into a good book! Check out one of our faves here.
4. Be kind to yourself
Slow down and take some time for yourself! Pamper yourself with some of our luxe products which will help boost your mood and, your skin will thank you for it too!
5. Get Hygge with it!
Light a candle or 4 - our hibiscus and white tea candle is not only eco-friendly but also fills your space with a calming and relaxing scent. Then just turn off the tech and snuggle down with a good book or a Netflix marathon.
Hope this helps!
