Winter, where we live, means snow and cold. It can be pretty magical, but it can also be pretty dreadful.
During the winter, it’s hard to find the energy that naturally comes with the warmer temperatures and colors of the other seasons.
We live by Lake Michigan and during the winter, that means a whole lot of clouds and snow. On the Michigan side of the lake, residents can go months without seeing the sun.
This Lime and Eucalyptus Roll-On recipe is a top-notch way to energize and refresh you to get through the winter blues.
