January blues are real and it’s called SAD. Here’s how to snap out of it.
January can be a long month. It’s still getting dark extremely early, the holiday lights are switched off and the New Year, New You motivation is beginning to fade.
It’s not just you—the January blues are real. Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) impacts 10 million Americans every year (especially when the tinsel and party dresses go away after the holidays).
SAD is four times more common in women than men. Combat the winter darkness with self care.
According to Harvard Medical School, there are four ways you can commit to self care:
1) Be physically active
2) Eat well
3) Get your beauty sleep
4) Calm your mind
At Elegance, we aim to help you with the latter. No matter which treatment you book, your experience at Elegance is designed to be relaxing and a mini vacation from your daily stress.
