Exposure to sunlight helps fill up on vitamin D. This vitamin is essential for bone health, immune system, and emotional well-being, nothing less! So head outside for at least 15 minutes a day when the sun is shining and at least 30 minutes when the weather is overcast! Escaping to nature could also do a lot of good and allow you to regain your energy and creativity. Plan a short getaway and grab your bags! 

There may be times when you just want to stay home. This winter, we invite you to honour that need. Give yourself the right to hibernate on weekends, turn off the cellphone and dive into a book or series for the simple reason that it's what you feel like doing. Pull out the slow cooker to cook easy, comforting dishes, and pop into the couch cushions while it starts smelling good. Laundry can wait until Monday night... 

Even if there is no snow, temperatures can drop! Make sure you stay warm by putting on at least three layers of clothing. You'll also adjust more easily during the day. Combine breathable fabrics with insulating and waterproof materials. A basic layer of merinos wool with a polar jacket and a goretex coat will do the job perfectly! For ultimate winter comfort, consider using cleats that will prevent slipping on icy surfaces. 

Last tip for enjoying winter: prepare your outdoor kit. In a small bag that you can quickly grab whenever you step outside, pack some tissues, hydrating lip balm, sunscreen (apply even when the sun is hiding!), non-freezing snacks like energy balls or nuts, spare socks, and a water bottle. Simple, yet essential!
