Joie de vivre literally translates to "joy of living".
For spring chickens and summer sun baskers the winter months for many can leave us questioning our joie de vivre. I cherish the peace and coziness of winter and anticipate the excitement before a snow storm like a kid hoping for a snow day, but often struggle with moods and lack of sunlight. I'm sharing my own little secret formula in my toolkit to stave off those winter blues.
Aromatherapy is a powerful ally as many essential oils can cross the blood brain barrier and directly affect the nervous system. Every day in a bath, my faithful trio lavender, bergamot and grapefruit go in drop by drop to brighten my perspective and keep me above that baseline winter mood when all seems gray and dreary.
Seasonal affective disorder (SAD or winter depression) affects about 5% of the population, while general winter blues affects about 20% with higher rates in populations more north of the equator. It affects more women than men.
Having experienced it I understand it, and enjoyed creating this cheerful blend in a purse sized 'pick me up' with a pretty vision of spring on the label. 5ml glass with steel rollerball.
Ingredients: bergamot, grapefruit, lavender, lemon, ylang ylang, orange, frankincense and cedar pure essential oils in a base of sweet almond oil.
Chin up Buttercup..spring is on the way!
Handcrafted in limited quantities~
