Wintertime is the hardest season to get used to. It takes a toll on your mood and body. Less sunlight affects your serotonin levels - which is a hormone linked to your happiness, or lack of happiness. In our culture of prescriptions and medical interventions for mood problems, you may think that seasonal affective disorder can only be cured by an anti-depressant. However, there are many home and holistic remedies available that are worth trying. Aromatherapy, light therapy and water fountains can all help to increase positive feelings and well-being in the winter months. Plus essential oil diffusers and water fountains can switch up your home decor, which is a nice bonus.

I've highlighted three products that have been helpful in beating my winter blues:

• The Cozy Comfort Spa Blanket - an aroma infused neck wrap lavender scent
• A beautiful tabletop fountain - the rushing water creates a relaxation respons
• A Sunrise System Alarm Clock which wakes you up naturally with simulated sunlight
