Falling temperatures and shorter days can zap your energy during the winter. Most of us struggle with the dreaded 3pm energy slump, but in winter, it can feel as though this lasts all day long.

If it’s a major struggle to get out of bed in the mornings and your energy and motivation never really get going, it’s time to take action.

Lymphatic System Health

We have so many systems in the body, but out of all of them, the one we tend to focus on the least is the lymphatic system. If you’re focused on creating a healthy lifestyle, you’ll want to learn how to serve your lymphatic system best.

Not sure what that is? Many people probably don’t… but everyone should!

When I studied Massage Therapy (my first career over 20 years ago!), I was fascinated by learning about all the body systems, and in particular our lymphatic system- which is really important for massage therapists to understand.

Your lymphatic system is a complex system of vessels that course through your entire body. You have lymph nodes located all over your body that are there to help you keep up your peak performance.

How to Reset Your Diet and Life This Winter with a Detox

Did you know that winter is the perfect time to detox? It sure can be if you go about it in the right way.

There are some things you will want to do different than a Spring or Summer detox though. A Winter detox helps your body prepare for spring, get ready for the holidays or lose any weight you’ve started to gain over the holidays, and feel fitter and healthier.

Winter also brings changes for your hormones, metabolism, and circulation —all of which can have a direct effect on toxins and wellbeing.

6 Essential Oils To Soothe Your Skin This Winter

I live in Canada, and if you live anywhere like this, during the dry winter months, your skin is subject to damage from the cold and dry air. These months hold a lot of magic with blankets of white snow and the holidays, but your skin can really take a hit and make things itchy, dry and quite uncomfortable.

While your skin protects, it also absorbs everything you come into contact with which is why it’s so important to nurture and nourish it every day. You’ll want to step up your skincare routine from head to toe to keep your skin looking and feeling fabulous, and the best way to comfort that sensitive skin is to add essential oils to your regimen.
