2021 is here, and like the rest of us, you're no doubt staying safe indoors social distancing, but that means you're probably missing out on critical vitamin D like never before. If you’re experiencing shifts in your mood, an overall sense of malaise, or disruption to your sleep cycle, the pandemic may not be the only thing to blame. A phenomenon known as Seasonal Affective Disorder, or SAD, may be the cause. Much like the name suggests, during seasons when we don’t get enough sunshine we turn, well, sad. At Verilux we know a thing or two about using artificial light to help get you back on tr ..read more

By now it’s clear: We’re going to remain isolated (at least somewhat) through the holiday season. With full and partial lockdowns persisting and most public activities still restricted (even the new James Bond film got pushed back again!), we’re probably looking at a few more months at home. Isolation may be the “new normal,” but to most of us it will never actually feel normal (or comfortable). And it may be particularly trying during the holidays, when we're used to spending more time with friends and family. If you could use a little bit of a boost though, or some help with self-care during ..read more

This year has been a bit strange. OK, maybe a lot strange.. and going back to school doesn't necessarily mean the same thing this fall. So, while having a great set up at home for studying was important before, it's even more so now.

My first experience with remote learning was not because of a global pandemic. I was living abroad and my Masters degree program was located in the U.S. (my spanish level wasn’t...and still isn’t at the level to do an advanced degree). In some ways, it was strange. My academic life until that point had been in-person and I really loved the in-person interaction that I got from it. It definitely took a little adjusting, but once I got into a rhythm, I enjoyed it (though being at home comes with it’s own distractions→ Hello Netflix!). Here are a few things that really helped me out: Stay Connect ..read more

It's one many seem to overlook. My name is Natasha Nurse, and the goal that changed my life was choosing to be happy. This seems like an obvious goal that everyone should have, but sadly, it is not the case. So many people are unhappy in the United States (especially in New York). It was December 2015, and I was told I was losing my job. When this happens to most people, the first thing they want to do is panic. For me, I saw an opportunity to live my life in a whole new way. I decided to live by the following six principles: Commit to my life motto: meet someone new and learn something new ..read more
