Winter is well on its way, and that means the challenges of cold weather are rapidly approaching.
Unsure how you’re going to survive winter this season? We’ve got the ultimate hacks for you!
Let’s get into it.
1. Snuggle
It’s one of the top ways to survive winter, and for good reason!
After all, what’s nicer than spending a snowy night with your loved one, snuggled up by a fire, drinking gourmet hot chocolate, and keeping each other warm?
2. Layer Up
Those who master the winter season know that layers help trap heat. Even two or three thin layers work significantly better than just one thick layer.
Keep that in mind as you’re planning out your winter attire.
3. Moisturize
If summer has your skin all sweaty and oily, winter typically creates the opposite effect of dry or cracked skin. This can happen due to dehydration and severe changes in weather.
Make sure that you use a good moisturizer and consider adding a humidifier to your home.
4. Eat Healthy
If you want to survive winter, you need to be nourishing your body! It’s no wonder that more and more people get sniffly and sneezy when the air gets cooler.
Focus on eating a rounded diet (with the occasional holiday splurge) to stave off yucky winter colds.
5. Get Sunlight
Winter can be tough, with all the dreary, dark days. It’s more important than ever to make sure you can soak up as much natural light as possible (even if it means getting out there and building a snowman).
Vitamin D is important for overall health, and being outdoors is scientifically proven to make us happier. So, get outside!
6. Drive Extra Safely
If you live in a snowy or rainy region, you need to make sure your car is well-equipped for the winter season. It’s always wise to brush up on your winter driving skills.
Practice driving more slowly and cautiously. Keep your gas tank at least half full at times. Be prepared for delays and traffic.
7. Master the Crockpot
What tastes better than a hot meal after a freezing cold day? Not much. Learning simple crockpot recipes eliminates the hassle of cooking.
It also guarantees warm food for you and your entire family (with minimal effort on your part).
8. Keep Your Feet Warm
Nothing feels better than coming home from work and slipping into the comfiest pair of slippers or wool socks.
Invest in your feet! Doing so will keep you happy and warm.
9. Purchase Walking Boots
If you want to survive winter, you absolutely need to invest in some warm outdoor boots. Make sure they are cozy and waterproof! You don’t want to buy a gorgeous pair of boots only for them to get destroyed in the snow.
10. Prepare for Emergencies
Depending on your geographical region, winter can bring drastic changes in weather. It is important to be prepared for these potential weather emergencies. Have an emergency kit in your home and all your vehicles.
