You know spring is here when the colorful crocus start to sprout and there's still sunlight during the evening commute. Even though we experienced a mild winter here in New England, I am still feeling that yearly inner yearning to get outside now that spring is officially here.#Health/Wellness -

Have you ever noticed feeling extra tired during the winter months?
Less energy to do the things you usually do, like exercising or playing
with your kids? As we shift into winter, the sun goes down earlier
and rises later, the temperature drops, and our energy levels tend to
follow. Not all of us are prone to the winter pull; some find the cold
reenergizing. Regardless of which side of the fence you fall on, the
below tips may boost your mood and help you feel stronger and healthier
during the winter months.#Health/Wellness -

Equal Exchange is sources olive oil from two olive grower co-ops in Palestine's West Bank: Al Zawyeh Agricultural Co-operative and Mis-ha Co-operative for Organic Production and Livestock. Our direct relationship is with PARC, or the Palestinian Agricultural Relief Committees. PARC is a non-profit, non-governmental organization in the West Bank and is a member of the World Fair Trade Association. #Products
