Today has been branded ‘Blue Monday’, supposedly the saddest day of the year. But here at Lucky Saint, we believe in a different kind of blue – the mood-boosting blue of our signature boxes and bottles, embossed with a lucky ladybird, keeping spirits high and ABV low. Read on for a few simple ways to kick-start the senses and show Blue Monday who’s boss.

Move

Whether it’s a walk in your local park, an online yoga class or a jog around the block, moving your body increases endorphins, dopamine and adrenaline associated with feeling happy. And if you’ve trained hard, alcohol-free beer is said to contain the minerals lost through sweating and help with muscle recovery. 

Taste

Cooking is a great cure for restlessness, and with all this extra time on our hands, an afternoon getting creative in the kitchen is an afternoon well spent. Head to our blog where you can find everything from a Lucky Saint & Walnut Loaf recipe, to extracts from Dishoom’s cookbook, to a Jamie Oliver-inspired Beer-Battered Cod.
