Get ready to embrace the new season with renewed oomph!
In this wellbeing blog, discover a few uplifting tips to help banish the winter blues…
1. Get Some Exercise
Think LDO is just a place for shopping? Think again.
Get ahead of any new year’s resolutions, get active, and feel good. Research has shown that getting out for an hour’s walk in the middle of the day is an effective way to beat the winter blues.
Explore everything Wembley Park’s parks and open spaces have to offer.
Take a leisurely walk though the tree-lined boulevards, savour a winter picnic (make sure to wrap up) in the area’s landscaped pocket parks, or unwind by the fountains. Discover the perfect space to indulge in the activities that bring you joy.
Wembley is home to one of football’s most iconic stadiums in the world, the scene for many of the sport’s classic moments.
So it should come as no surprise that there is a Powerleague football pitch near us, too. If team sports are more your cup of tea, then sign up today and get those endorphins rushing!
Need to up the ante with your sports gear? Explore a wide range of top-notch sports and outdoor brands at LDO, covering everything from running gear to football essentials and high-performance wear.
2. Learn to Cook
There isn’t much that beats a well-cooked, healthy and homemade meal.
Now’s the time to get in the kitchen and learn how to cook all of your favourite comfort foods and winter dishes, as well as practice some summer-style cooking.
Meal prep, with the help of everyone’s favourite kitchen gadget, an airfryer, has never looked so chic!
LDO will also be getting ready for lots of food-related events throughout 2024.
The team from ProCook will be hosting a pancake-flipping competition, to celebrate Pancake Day. Whoever can flip the most pancakes in one minute will be crowned “Best Flipper”.
Look out for the dates on our events page and come and join the fun!
3. Watch Films
Whether you want to chill on the couch and watch your favourite films or get the full cinema experience and see the latest Hollywood blockbusters, LDO to the rescue!
Visit our Cineworld Cinema that shows both Hollywood and Bollywood films in 2D, RealD 3D and 4DX (where available). Don’t forget the popcorn!
Anyone wanting to replicate the cinema experiences at home could do worse than checking out LDO’s Sony Centre, where you can get your hands on the latest in high quality home technology at a fraction of the usual high street prices.
4. Time for a declutter
Have you been putting off a decluttering session for months?
It sounds like a daunting task but clearing out old junk from your home, getting rid of your scratched and old pieces will result in a less cluttered environment and will help you feel more organised and focussed.
Look to our homeware brands including ZWILLING, ProCook and Denby for kitchen organisation tips and products – new storage containers for your spices and cupboard staples will help you cut down on duplicated items and make your drawers and cupboards organised.
