The holiday season is here, and between cooking and spending time with family, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. The added stress can impact your health, leading to issues like hair loss and dry skin. But don’t worry—the Nortify and Beautify team is here to help! We’ve gathered 10 winter wellness tips from Pria Joshi to help you look and feel your best throughout the holiday season.
Do More Indoor Physical Activities
While warmer weather invites you outside, winter’s chill can make it tempting to stay indoors. But don’t let the cold keep you from moving! As Pria says, “motion is lotion” for the body. Engage in some form of indoor exercise to stay healthy and strong. Head to our blog for a list of YouTube channels with winter-friendly workouts to keep you active.Consider a Vitamin D Supplement
With less sunlight in winter, our vitamin D levels can drop, impacting our skin, hair, and immune health. If you suspect a vitamin D deficiency, consider getting a blood test to confirm. You’ll find a variety of supplements, including hair growth vitamins and calcium, to help boost your levels. If you prefer not to take pills, vitamin D gummies offer a tasty alternative that’s like candy for your health!Set the Tone with a Hydrating Mask
Holiday parties and family gatherings mean you’ll want to be picture-ready. Pamper yourself with a hydrating mask to brighten and freshen your skin, helping you feel and look your best.Make Small Changes
Don’t rush change—it will only add to holiday stress. If your New Year’s goal is to get in shape, start with small, manageable steps now. For example, try a 10-minute YouTube workout every day. Smaller steps make changes feel more achievable and help you build momentum for the new year.Reduce Stress with Self-Care
The holidays often lead us to put others first, but it’s essential to make time for yourself too. Schedule self-care into your calendar to recharge your mind and body. Your hair, skin, and mental health will thank you.“Anything you do to help reduce the amount of cortisol your body deals with—daily, weekly, monthly—is powerful for every system. Taking time to prioritize self-care consistently is essential.” - Pria Joshi.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
