It feels like the waves are going to come up right over the deck! I don't think there will be any old dips this weekend for this gal 😬
Wind warnings rainfall warnings, road closures... Stay safe friends, wherever you are 💜

October 1st cold dip in the Salish Sea 🌊
I didn't realize how dark it got after I went in!
I've really been loving cold dips lately. I went yesterday in the morning. It was so nice to be in the water with the warm of the sun shining on me. This summer I've been going in the evenings though, so today I waited until before bed. I gotta say, I think I like night dips better! The water just seemed warmer somehow, and it was so peaceful.
There are a number of benefits to taking the plunge in our ocean!
⭐ Because salt water is rich in minerals like magnesium, skin issues like psoriasis and eczema may improve.
⭐ Magnesium lowers cortisol, calming your nervous system.
⭐ Cold water can give us a jolt of adrenaline. This can change our focus from physical ailments, and this diversion can give relief for some types of pain.
⭐ It can reduce swelling and decrease inflammation.
⭐ It can improve sleep and mood.
⭐ Hydrotherapy of various kinds has been shown to decrease the symptoms of anxiety and depression.
A couple weeks ago I coordinated a wedding that was held at an ocean-side venue. All the guests stayed on-site and had a great time. Sunday morning started with a cold dip - what a way to help you start your day after a late night of having fun! 🥃🥴
Would you consider an ocean dip as part of your celebration activities? Hummingbird Events can help plan the details - think fuzzy towels, a warm fire, spiked coffee and tea and maybe even some fun costumes! 🔥 ☕
