Winter can be harsh, you need to take care of yourself. These self care essentials are perfect for snuggling up and getting warm and cosy in the colder months.
Winter is not your friend. It brings dry skin, colds and flu, and low mood and if we don’t look after ourselves can be a pretty miserable time.
The cold and dark of winter can have a significant effect on mood, causing sadness, extreme tiredness, loss of interest and social withdrawal.
A
winter self care kit is so important and has made a lot of difference to my health and wellness.
So why not put yourself a self care kit together, shop with friends and get together for cosy nights in. So now when you think of winter you won’t think of the dark and cold but of fun, laughter, cosiness and warmth.
