Managing The Winter Blues
Winter has a way of sneaking up on us. The days get shorter, the blankets get heavier, and suddenly even replying to a text can feel like a big ask. If you’re feeling a little flatter, foggier, or more tired than usual - you’re not alone, and you’re definitely not doing anything wrong.
So let's ditch the toxic positivity, constant hustle attitude. Instead, here are some gentle, achievable ways to lift your mood this winter.
Looking Back at December…
Catch up on some of our adventures from December! It’s been a busy month!
Help During The Holidays
This December can be a busy time for us - between Christmas shopping, parties, and cooking up a feast for the family, it’s important to make sure you’re looking after yourself, too. We wanted to share some helpful reminders that might help you to fill up your own cup first because we can’t pour from an empty cup!
Keeping Safe On Your Night Out
We want you to stay safe this party season so we hope you find these tips useful! Make sure you share them with your friends or family to keep them safe, too.
