The days may be getting longer but that doesn’t always mean you’re feeling any lighter. The holidays, for many of us, were a time for good old fashioned gluttony. We pampered ourselves and each other for weeks with cookies, beverages, and good company. Now comes the season of guilt. The gym is more packed than usual and heads of lettuce are flying off the shelves. Everybody’s got some kind of resolution to live up to.

Here in the Wellness Department we have our own resolution too, to go easy on ourselves. Sure, we’re in sore need of some freshening up, but we’re looking to do it in a way that feels natural, manageable, and good for the soul as well as the body. If you’re looking to do so, too, start here, with us, where we’ve got detox galore like Maine Medicinal’s ‘Cleanse and Fortify’ detox formula. Or, try Megafood’s ‘Daily Purify’ powder. It’ll work great added to all of those smoothies we know you’ll be drinking.

We’re also taking our vitamin D-3 to help us with our winter blues. Try Nordic Natural’s ‘D-3 gummies’ if you share our belief that the tastier a vitamin is, the better it works. And, of course, we never forget to spoil ourselves just because. Andalou Natural’s ‘Rosewater Toner’ is a great way to spritz-up midday for refreshment.  And, at night, we’re burning Sunbeam’s sage beeswax votive candles to purify all of that stale January air. If all else fails, we’ll see you at the gym.
