5 FUN WAYS TO STAY HAPPY IN WINTER
The expertspertss tell how to max selfself-care when the sun is in short supply
MAKE TIME FOR MASSAGES
The team at Massage Envy in Sydney’s CBD say a massage a month can boost immunity. Incorporate peppermint and tea-tree essential oils for a full mind and body wind-down.
TRY A FACIAL
Skin looking dry, flaky and dull? You can help bring your skin back to life in cooler times with a hydrating facial. Combine with microdermabrasion to exfoliate dead skin cells away.
KEEP SUNDAYS SACRED
Dedicate Sundays (or at least a part!) to putting yourself first. Give yourself a manicure-pedicure, run a warm bath and indulge in a great book surrounded by scented candles.
JUST ADD WATER
Upping your water intake will keep you from overindulging in comfort foods. And winter fruits such as apples, pears, mandarins and grapefruits can help keep you hydrated, too.
STRETCH IT OUT
Yoga poses for the chest, leg and back areas can increase your stamina and foster flexibility. Hold down dog, bridge and standing forward fold for as little as 20-30 seconds each day to see results.
