it’s november, time has been shifted last week and days are short. people get depressed because of the lack of sunlight. especially in Vienna the greyness goes deep deep into the soul. it’s hard to keep up with your duties on a day like today and you know it will not get better until a while.
so what can we do about it? there are many daylight lamps out and we also have one. it’s a fantstic thing and really works (at least for me and my gorgeousness, they cost from 70-250 euro and come in various kinds. we haven’t tried the one that wakes you up like an alarm clock, yet. it simulates the sunrise, must be nice to have your little sunshine not only next to you in bed, but waking you up in the morning.
the easiest way to keep your mood up and make yourself feel a little better is to lit a candle. simple, “green” and cosy. scandinavian countries are well known for their burning of candles and it’s also well known that they need it like air! winters are long and dark, sunshine is rare and sometimes the warm light of candles keeps your mood up the whole winter!

so go and get some candles and put them where you work, where you eat and read and ….
but as always please get some organic, eco-friendly ones, because if we produce co2 we should at least make sure that the material came from the right sources.
