It’s fair to say we have all had enough of the rain at this point, and we would like to see a little sunshine now. I have been feeling the dampness and grey affecting my humour, so I have compiled a list to brighten the mood indoors.
5 Things to Beat Rainy Day Blues
Light a candle (and pray for better weather) – Lighting a scented candle does wonder for my mood. I am lucky to know two fantastic candle makers with fabulous fresh scented candles. I particularly love Soilse’s My Mother’s Garden Candle which evokes memories of relaxing in my mothers garden, and Emma’s So Natural Lemongrass Candle, which transports me to somewhere exotic and warm ideal on a day like today.
Listen to music – Turn it on and turn it up to have a boogie; it feels like it is medicine.
Cut up some fresh fruit – I am a big chocolate fan, and on a wet and grey day, I could be tempted to reach for the milk tray, but I know that a bowl of fruit will do wonders for my humour and not so detrimental to my waistline.
Fresh Flowers – I would love to be spending more time outdoors, but on a day like today, adding a bunch of flowers to my shopping basket will help bring the sunshine indoors.
Bake – I like this Oat Bread if I feel healthy and practical or these amazing Biscuits from Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall if I am feeling indulgent. The house is filled with a yummy smell, and the warm oven takes the damp chill away.
Hoping the sun comes out for you soon
