Happy Monday, friends! The start of a happy and full week begins with your mindset. Here's a little motivation to kick off your successful week.

Start your new year off strong! Here are some tips to prioritize your wellness during the colder months: - The outdoors is your gym: Our city has been seeing very balmy weather! Take advantage by going for a run or skate! - Put the D in diet: It’s easy for Edmontonians to have a Vitamin D deficiency through lack of sun exposure. Add a vitamin d supplement to your morning routine or consume vitamin d rich foods!... - Be kind to your skin: cold air and low humidity during the winter can be harsh on your skin. Reduce the temperature or duration of your showers and moisturize regularly to prevent dry, itchy skin. - Get tough on germs: Colder temperatures mean easier flu and cold season. Also, as we continue to protect ourselves and our loved ones from the pandemic, remember to regularly wash your hands for at least 20 seconds. What are your go-to winter wellness tips? Let us know in the comments below.

Our plants need a little more love and care in the colder months. Winter months mean our plant babies have to adjust to different conditions like lower light levels, dry air, shorter days, and chilly temperatures. Here are some easy tips to give your houseplants at top-notch this winter: - To help plants cope with changing light levels, move them closer to windows, if possible. - Avoid placing plants near cold drafts or heat sources... - Find simple ways to improve humidity around your plants - Don't just spot test the soil surface. Plants need water when the root zone is dry too, so poke your finger into the soil by up to 2 inches. If the soil is dry, water. What are your go-to tips and tricks? Share in the comments below.

#WellnessWednesday - With more time spent at home, we can find ourselves reaching towards technology for connection. However, studies show technology can contribute to higher stress levels, strain on close relationships, negative effects on mental health, etc. Here are some ways to detox from technology: - Plan your progress: We all need technology in our lives, but not all the time. What does a technology detox look like to you? Create a plan that works best for you. - Sta...rt with a small break: Start by giving up a bit of what's unnecessary - like social media checking every 15 minutes - Don't just remove or reduce, replace too: If you decide to reduce your TV time, you can spend that time you were going to use doing something else that will stimulate you instead - like reading - Set clear rules and stick to them: decide what your boundaries are and follow through with them. Don't cheat. Eventually, you'll have new long-term boundaries Let us know what you'll be trying out in the comments below!

Get Creative for this year's Halloween celebration at home: - Deck out your home in decor - Order in or take out on Halloween - Pretend trick or treating with different rooms in the house - get creative with the kids!... - Bake Halloween themed treats - Have a costume dance party - Show a Halloween movie marathon What are you doing this Halloween?
