Today I have the pleasure of featuring Dulcie from Human Sea Vintage for Everlasting Apparel.
February. Definitely not my favourite time of the year. Everything’s grey and cold and you don’t even want to leave the house. Winter blues time. There are days that I’m actually looking forward to going back to bed from the minute my alarm clock rings in the morning. Definitely not ideal. If it was possible, I’d move to California or the south of France, at least for the months of January to March. Since that isn’t possible and I don’t want to continue wishing my days away, I’ve come up with some ideas, how to brave this time of year.
I don’t really understand why, but there are some kind of foods that actually make you feel better and have a more positive outlook on the day. They force your body to produce serotonin (which in turn makes you happy and let’s the winter blues go away). The best known examples are bananas, dark chocolate and pasta, but other great examples are nuts, oats, potatoes, lentils, chicken and eggs. Don’t even think about dieting (the good thing about winter is that you can hide those extra kilos under your sweaters ;). Don’t over-indulge too much though: Feeling sick and having an upset stomach isn’t going to make you feel better about winter. Everything in moderation, I’d say.
Even if the sun isn’t shining, just half an hour outside helps you feel calmer and happier. Your metabolism needs light to work properly and artificial light just isn’t enough. And I don’t know about you, but somehow I often feel as if I have achieved something after going outside, even though I just took a walk.
Happy Valentine’s Day everybody! Are you having a day filled with love and joy?
Hi everyone! With my holiday starting today, I finally have some free time to spend on improving this little space of mine and work out some new and exciting things. So today, I have a small favour to ask you: Could you maybe answer this little survey (it will only take a minute!)? Your feedback matters so much and I will do my best to take all your answers into consideration. Thanks so much guys, it means a lot!
Don’t be shy, I can definitely handle criticism as well – just no hate, please.
Good morning, everybody! Today it’s time for the third installment of How We Do (already!). Trina and I love writing this column every month and we can’t wait to read all of your stories as you publish them. Today let’s talk about Spring Cleaning!
You already know that I care a lot about how the way I live impacts the world around me.
A little while ago, I was tagged by Kevin (and Trina) to play along in the Now & Then game.
