Beat the Winter Blues – Self Care Around West Michigan
The days are growing shorter and the nights are getting colder. It is a sure sign that it is winter in Michigan which means it is time to start prioritizing self-care. While we think self-care is perfect year-round, there is never a better time than now. Beat the winter blues and shop local this holiday season by picking up a few gift cards or self-care goodies from local partners.
SwetSauna
Spend 30 or 45 minutes in one of the infrared saunas and you will be dreaming of Tahiti! Saunas lower your levels of cortisol, which is your body’s main stress hormone. Sweating also reduces feelings of anxiety and frustration, which helps you feel more relaxed and at ease.
