Fun fact: walking in cold weather gives you a boost of oxygen. The low temperatures compress the oxygen, so each breath delivers more. That’s what makes it so refreshing and gives your brain an extra kick. I love the freedom of enjoying the elements, as long as I’m dressed for it!
Gear includes warm hat, neckwear, gloves and on my boots the MicroSpikes are fabulous for walking, running or hiking on ice.

There’s solid science behind the benefits of getting morning light in your eyes. (Panda, 2021). Natural sunlight early in the day helps set your body’s internal clock (circadian rhythm), boosting alertness, lifting your mood by increasing serotonin, sharpening focus, balancing sleep hormones like melatonin and cortisol, boosting energy, supporting metabolism, and strengthening your immune system—setting you up for a healthy, energized day and a restful night.
Hitting the gym for weight lifting, yoga, cardio, and all the other benefits is essential—but don’t forget to soak up some natural light in your eyes too; it’s a total game changer.
Good health is wealth, go for it💕
With warm blessings✨
