It's been a tough winter but I'm trying to make the best of it. Here are some ways that I'm coping with the extreme negative temperatures and large amounts of ice and snow.
1)
Taking a trip to a warm climate. We don't normally do this but I highly recommend it.
2) Wearing Uniqlo Heat Tech legging and tops under my regular clothes. Having that added layer of warmth protection really helps when going outside. I just ordered a few more pieces.
I wear them under my clothes for extra warmth!
I have some turtlenecks that I wear on their own too.
3)
Taking nighttime, candlelit showers. My schedule has flipped and I'm taking more nighttime showers. Dimming the lights and lighting a candle makes it feel special. Romanticize your life, right?!
I'm back to using LUSH Sleepy Shower Gel, it's got a light, lavender scent that has a calming effect and just smells so nice!
4) Extra Skin Care. I feel like I take better care of my skin because I have more time. I love these Grace & Stella Under Eye Masks and have been using them every morning when I have my coffee.
5) Making soups. I make soups all year long but I tend to make more in the winter. I made two last week....my favorite Slow Cooker Taco Soup and...
I also adapted this soup and made a lighter, vegetarian version that turned out great.
6)Taking indoor walks. I haven't been able to walk outside because it's been too icy so I've been doing some indoor walking workouts. Leslie Sansone is my favorite walking guru. She always puts me in a good mood. If I can't take all that cheery-ness, I mute her and listen to a podcast.
7) Making New Recipes. I'm trying new recipes to mix things up and get out of our dinner time rut. This recipe was really good and easy (I used Costco chicken meatballs). I have a few others pinned that I want to try as well.
8) More candles! I love having flameless candles on timers and just added these cute Valentine tapers to my collection. They are so realistic, they fooled my hubby!
What are you doing to cope with this winter?
