Just Like the Seasons changes

Wow is it just me or did the summer just roll on by swiftly without even saying goodbye? Summer is always a mood lifter for me mainly because the days are longer, warmer, clearer, and brighter which for me tends to lead to me being more productive, happier and outgoin. During these seasons I look forward to getting out of bed and getting my day started just as I look forward to the days end of kicking back and relaxing during those warm summer nights with my family. A typical day in my life scene during the summer consist of hubby outside tinkering with his classic toy car, son at the park shooting some B-ball while I either sit out front takin in all of the neighborhood movements and sounds while laughing and talking with my sweetie prior to going indoors and preparing a little something to eat or maybe ordering take outs or even better maybe nothing at all. See that’s the beauty of the warmer months that feeling of being okay with the spontaneous does and don’ts of it all.

However it is very short lived and no matter how much we hate to see it go fall must follow with it’s cold damp dark depressing vibe (my personal perception) and with the seasons change my moods changes right along with it. Seasonal depression is real for me and it affects my body mind, soul and wellbeing my whole existence goes through a bout of it while trying to transition into the months to come. I have dealt with this for years now, long before I ever knew it to have a medical terminology of: seasonal depression/affective disorder(SAD),

Wow! still with no true understanding of it at all I continued to cope by forcing my way through it in a funk of a fog.

But needless to say I was more able to relate to why I faced difficulties like not being able to sleep throughout the night, tiredness/fatigued and crankiness during the day with unwilling desire to do anything productive or social and at times I had difficulties focusing and concentrating.

So now when I am in transit with the blues of the season changes I found doing these things help me to bring my universe back into perspective, by dedicating what I have tagged to be my quiet girl days into play throughout the week. I use these days to address specific grooming needs that I would have for the most part neglected this time of year due to my current funk and by doing so proved to be vital In how I felt during such an dark and invisible time of blues. So I carved out this time to realign myself during the longer night time hours of fall and winter by doing

the following.

(1). I Set aside time each evening by setting up scheduled time alerts on your phone for bath/shower

(2). I Gather my Truth Naturals Body Purifier or Detox Bar your Wonder oil and loofa sponge along with any other items I will need to have right on hand.

(3). Since bath our my choice I and my skin tends to be much dryer this time of year I add Wonder Oil Drops and three tbsp of Bath Powder under running bath water to infuse moisture into the skin.

(4). when waiting on my bath water to catch I place drops of Truth Naturals Wonder oil on the cuticles of my fingers and toes then massage it in Real good.

(5). I also take this time to cleanse my face by removing any makeup with Truth Naturals Body Balm which works beautifully on long wear/waterproof makeup by melting it down therefore making it easy to wipe away without excessive pulling or tugging on the skin. Then I follow that up by washing my face using the Truth Naturals Detox Bar, which gets deep down into the pores freeing them from impurities and environmental aggressors without being too harsh or abrasive in the cleansing process.

(6). Then after Im done bathing and fresh out of the water I purposely leave my body fairly wet or moist/damp then I apply a layer of the TrutTruth Naturals Body Balm to the entire body paying special attention to extremely dry areas and apply one/two drops of the Truth Naturals Wonder Oil drops to the face.

*

Note* Truth Naturals Absolute Butter can be used in place of Body Balm if skin is not extremely dry or if it is your personal preferenc.

(7). Then I just slip into my favorite pj’s and let the countdown to restful night’s sleep began.
