DON’T BE SAD
November/December 2016
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a real thing for 6 percent of people in the U.S., according toexperts. Another 14 percent suffer from mood changes commonly known as “winter blues.”
Here are some ways to let the sun shine in through the season’s dark days – liter¬ally and figuratively. Flip the switch on an opulent crystal chandelier, light a candle, or capture precious rays on solar panels to lighten up your utility bill.
And since the subject is winter sun, we threw in a clothing company by that name. And glacier goggles. You never know.
