Winter self-care tips

Pamper, pamper, pamper

Pampering looks different for everyone. 

Whether it’s a trip to the gym, an everything shower or getting cosy and watching your favourite show. 

Whatever you choose to do, some much-needed YOU time is a great way to beat the winter blues and reeelaaaax!

Prioritise sleep

Did you know you need up to an extra 2 hours of sleep each night during winter?

With the colder temperatures and shorter days, we all need these extra few hours each night to help us take on the day. 

This won’t just make it (slightly) easier to get out of bed in the morning, but you’ll also have more energy during the day to tick off your to-do list.

How are you feeling?

Staying in tune with your mental health is important all year round, but especially in the last few months of the year. 

Keeping on track of how you’re feeling is vital to maintaining a positive mindset. 

If you’re having a low day, listen to your body and do what makes you happy - whether that’s a sofa day, speaking with friends or getting dressed up for a solo shopping date. 

Make plans

Having something to look forward to is always a good thing. 

Here are some of our go-to things to do in winter: 

• coffee-dates with friends 

• visiting local Christmas markets 

• meals with friends 

• planning a girl’s night in 

It doesn’t have to be anything expensive, just a few hours in a day to break up the week.

Don't forget to exercise

We know the cold weather may put you off but it’s the perfect excuse to wear your new winter coat!

Although staying in your PJs all day is tempting, it can get you into a bit of a slump.

Try walking to your favourite cafe instead of driving, or doing a few laps around the block after work to get some fresh air.
