If you follow me on Instagram, you will definitely know I am a huge sunshine and summer lover. That was one of the reasons why I moved to Syndey more than 12 years ago, spend wonderful 5 years in sunny Australia. Then I fell in love with an Englishman. You might guess the end to this fairytale. Yes, it made sense for both of us to move back to Europe as all our family were based here.
Living in Sydney was just amazing, and 12 years on I still have tears in my eyes just thinking about it. Well as we moved on, and started our family life in London, I have realised every autumn I get very low and felt like doing nothing. The sudden change and lack of sunshine had not a good impact on me.
We are quite lucky and usually go on a sunny beach holiday at Xmas every year. The vision of spending 2 weeks in sunshine has somehow helped me to get through the long autumn and winter months.
This year we have decided to spend Xmas with my family in the Czech Republic. Both my daughters are super excited as they love snow and skiing and also we do celebrate Xmas is a bit differently, and I miss that.
When I was growing up and lived in the Czech Republic I did not get depressed like here in the UK. I believe it might be as the weather is very different in winter, crisp cold air, clear blue skies, much colder temperatures. Isn’t it strange I feel colder here in London and have heard the same from a few of my EU friends?
I jumped high when I was contacted by Lumie to check out one of their light therapy lights, as have lately heard so much about it! Lumie has a huge range of wake-up lights (which I will also be reviewing on my lifestyle blog), an acne therapy light and SAD therapy lights.
After browsing the Lumie range, the slim design of the latest Vitamin L light has caught my eye. I have been using it every day in the morning for 30 minutes for past few weeks, and can really see an improvement in my mood. I love the bright light shining in my face, somehow I feel much warmer and happier too.
Lumie Vitamin L. Bright light can lift your mood, boost alertness and help you to feel more energised and is the natural way to improve your general well-being.
I really think that using this light every day over the autumn and winter will help me beat the winter blues. It is also recommended for the Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) symptoms such as tiredness, over-eating and a lack of energy and motivation.
Vitamin L Features:
- Rippled diffuser for a soft, comfortable light
- Portrait or landscape use
- Generous screen for optimal light therapy
- Energy efficient and UV-free
- Independently verified to deliver the industry standard 10,000 lux at 22 cm
- Recommended treatment time: 30 minutes
- Warm white LEDs
- RRP £75.00
Win a Lumie Vitamin L Therapy Light worth £75
One lucky Fitness 4 Mamas reader will win one of these amazing lights to beat the autumn and winter blues!

We have a VERY old light box that comes out every autumn to try and prevent us getting SAD. It’s a huge box and gives out a very glaring light. It’s great to see the improvements that have been made in light boxes over the past decade or so, and it would be great to have a more subtle piece of equipment, which gives out a more comfortable light.
