We've got a couple of sweet days of sunshine and spring-like weather on tap, in the midst of December storms. Now is a great time to bask in this precious early-December sunshine and get some good turns in while you’re at it. Winter blues? We hardly know her!
Winter Blues Cure:
1 part sun
1 part non-existent lift lines
1 part scrumptious food
Mix well and consume daily for best results.
