But then, no perfumes are the same and it's not just our olfactory system out of kiler, manufacturers don't always use the same ingredients. <br />Love the Burberry scarf and the silver bangles. I'm a 'silver' rather than a 'gold' person, too. <br />Not keen on candles (scented or otherwise), as they're a fire risk and I do feel it's just a little akin to burning money.<br />Margaret Pgalanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190356279359463949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-71938696744205772902015-11-10T14:33:36.639-08:002015-11-10T14:33:36.639-08:00Wonderful advice!

I do not like taking pills, but those of us who live in the mountainous north (I am 20 mi south of the Quebec border) suffer from lack of sunlight as well. Shortly after I began taking a weekly dose of doctor-prescribed vitamin D, I felt better & only suffer "the blues" by events of my own doing-not from lack of light. Because my mood is so much better, I can appreciate all of those lovely suggestions you made so much more than I did when I suffered from SAD.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16879695097809867720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-62087089008009572122015-11-08T07:26:03.902-08:002015-11-08T07:26:03.902-08:00Such an important reminder.

I think the holidays prevent me from getting hit hard at this time of year--perhaps why I cherish them so. But after Christmas is always a very hard time for me. I used to tan daily and couldn't believe how much it lifted my spirits. Obviously, that's not a good thing to do. But it did make me "believe" in the importance of light.

I've been feeling dull this week, but it's because of some bad news, combined with a very busy time at work, along with the time change. I've had a relaxing Saturday - time with a friend and quiet hours at home, so I'm feeling better. These times do come and go.
