Why be moody when you can shake your booty 🪩 C Why be moody when you can shake your booty 🪩 Continuing my 10 day STAYING SUNNY THIS WINTER series, where I’m sharing the simple ways that I’m personally focusing on to stay a little brighter during this darker season. DAY 4/10 :: Move in a way you love Most of us think of fitness as something we MUST do to gain strength / drop the pounds / stay fit / fit in those jeans, etc … but why can’t our movement this winter also be something that we do because we also LOVE it and therefore feel a little happier?! Cue the dance party. Here are a few facts about movement and the winter blues :: ✨ exercise releases mood booster chemicals like serotonin and endorphins ✨ even getting outside to walk for 15 min a day is shown to lift your mood ✨ joyous movement increases dopamine levels ✨doing movement that you love / that makes you laugh lightens your mood ✨ when you move your body, oxygen moves more through your body and into your brain helping you to feel lively and alert ✨ moving daily helps us to show up better in all ways of our lives including hydrating and eating healthy - which also make us feel better during the darker months Walking, dancing, pilates, cardio - what’s your favorite type of movement in the winter months?! 🫶 If you want to do this series with me, be sure to tag me in your stories so that I can cheer for you 🙌 See you Thursday with part 5! #winterwellness #joyfulliving #wellnesstips #danceparty #familyworkout #winterworkout #happygirlera Daily movement, family workout, family dance party winter wellness, seasonal affective disorder prevention, winter blues, winter self care

DAY 3/10 :: Get enough sleep So … this one is for me personally lol (it’s me, hi - I’m the problem, it’s me) … anyone else want to work on their sleep routine a bit this winter?! It’s not that I don’t LOVE sleep …. it’s just that the DJ in me is just a total night owl! I definitely notice that when I get enough sleep, I feel my best the next day and this one is so important for staying sunny during the darker season. I’m going to be trying a new bedtime ritual over the next few weeks that I hope sticks - here are a few things I’ll be incorporating :: ✨ planning my schedule for the next day so that I can put all of the to dos out of my mind ✨ shutting down devices an hour before bedtime ✨drinking herbal tea (my absolute favorite is @clubmagichour - I linked to it in my bio with a discount!) ✨ self care - a bath, reading, journaling or a few yin poses ✨a calming skincare routine with gua sha ✨ relaxing aromatherapy bed spray ✨ trying to go to bed around a consistent time each night ✨ CBD oil on my feet ✨a calming sleepy playlist Do you have a bedtime ritual?! 🫶 If you want to do this series with me, be sure to tag me in your stories so that I can cheer for you 🙌 See you tomorrow with part 4! #winterwellness #winterbluesbegone #healthylifestyle #healthyhabits #joyfulliving #wellnesstips #bedtimeritual #happygirlera Bedtime ritual, winter wellness, seasonal affective disorder prevention, winter blues, winter self care

Happy FRIDAY 🥳 and December 1 :) I’m excited Happy FRIDAY 🥳 and December 1 :) I’m excited to start the month by kicking off a new series with you 🙃 Welcome to STAYING SUNNY THIS WINTER, where I’ll be sharing the simple ways that I’m personally focusing on to stay a little brighter during this darker season over the next 10 days. It’s no secret that I’m a sunny weather fan 🫢, and I definitely feel the darker days during winter. This year I decided to lean into prevention early on as we dip into the cold weather, and so far it’s been going pretty good over here - I mean … if someone’s offering me a ticket to a beachy spot, I still wouldn’t pass it up 😝! DAY 1 :: Prioritize Your Wellness This is such a personal one, and for me it really has been a journey. It’s a great time of the year to have a check-up with your health team and get a reading of where you’re at and what can help you to feel your best right now. Here are a few ideas I’ve been incorporating :: ☀️ get your bloodwork checked to see a picture of where you’re at with your vitamin/mineral levels (especially vitamin d) ☀️ stay hydrated & moisturized (this is easier to forget when it’s cold out) ☀️ eat whole in-season foods full of color, lean heavy on the veggies ☀️ find balance - enjoy your seasonal favorites in moderation ☀️ move daily doing something you love 🫶 If you want to do this series with me, be sure to tag me in your stories so that I can cheer for you 🙌 See you tomorrow with part 2! #winterwellness #seasonalaffectivedisorder #winterbluesbegone #healthylifestyle #healthyhabits #joyfulliving #happygirlera #wellnesstips #joyfulliving Winter wellness, seasonal affective disorder prevention, healthy habits, joyful living, wellness tips
