Feeling blue today? You're probably not the only one, cause today is Blue Monday. This is the day where people often feel a bit low. Now you may ask why that is. Let us explain. The holiday season has passed, Christmas trees were taken down and honestly there just isn't a lot to look forward to. And to top it all off, we're dealing with cold, rainy weather that makes that well-deserved vacation seem so far away.

Though Blue Monday isn't really a scientific thing, many people can relate to this gloomy Monday feeling. Question is: How do you beat the Monday blues? We'll give you some of our tips on how to shake off those feelings, because new year, new me. Right?

SELFCARE SUNDAY

Sundays are for me-time and pampering yourself. Use your Sunday to completely unwind so that you can start your week with a clear mind. You could enjoy a nice, long bath for instance! Our ultimate favorite? The Relaxing Ylang-Ylang Bath and Shower Gel by Molton Brown. The relaxing aroma's will help you relax and calm down. Still a bit uneasy and anxious? An extra layer Relaxing Ylang-Ylang Body Lotion will do the trick.

What's the one thing a selfcare Sunday really needs? Facemasks! The Shiseido WASO Yuzu-C Beauty Sleeping Mask will make even the most exhausted skin look great and it's super easy to apply before going to sleep.

The delightful floral, fresh scent of the Comfort Zone Tranquillity candle will make the evening complete. Settle down on the couch with a good movie, some drinks and delicious snacks and you'll feel reborn in the morning!

START OFF WITH A CLEAN SLATE

Work that's been piling up and deadlines can make Mondays even more stressful than they already are. Our advice: finish off Friday with no open tasks, so that you can start off Monday with a clean slate. If you do have some really important projects you need to get done, schedule them on Monday(morning). You'll feel relieved once they're over and done with.

COLOR YOUR DAY

Brighten up these darker days with a little pop of color. Spice up your outfit of the day by adding some color or a cheerful print. Another fun way to liven up your day is with a glow up. Put your eyes in the spotlight with Laura Merciers Caviar Stick Eye Shadow Matte. It's easy to apply and you can create all kinds of different looks with it. For the finishing touch you use the Climax Mascara by NARS for luscious lashes.

For the lips we like to use a more toned down product. One of our favorites is the jane iredale HydroPure Hyaluronic Lip Gloss. You can get this soft-as-velvet- lip gloss in a variety of colors and it leaves your lips looking fuller and prettier.

A fresh scent that totally lifts your spirits like Goldfield & Banks Pacific Rock Moss Eau de Parfum is what really seals the deal! Even if you're working from home, getting ready in the morning is an important step in beathing these Monday blues. Look good, feel better!
