With the days getting colder and dark earlier, one can tend to fall into a sense of gloominess. Well, fear not! Here are some self-care ideas for you to try out as we get closer to the winter season.
- Get cozy with a warm drink (tea, coffee, apple cider), comfy clothes, and a blanket! Watch one of your favorite movies/tv shows or work on some assignments.
- Light up some candles & play some of your favorite music.
- Put on a face mask & wear some fuzzy socks! Maybe make a lip/body scrub?
