Warming up Winter

Hello!I'm super excited to be writing this, even though it's really just an online diary to myself(!).

Anyways, since there is currently snow lying on the ground right now, I decided to do a post about my top 5 tips for staying warm... 

 

1. Wear your woollies - They may be baggy or itchy but trust me here: you'll be warm and at that point (especially if you live in Scotland) you will not give a care about what you are wearing. 

 
My favourite woollies!

2.Have a hearty meal - There's nothing better than having a plate of steaming family food, whether it's corn beef hash to start and then rhubarb crumble with custard to finish. It will leave you feeling warm inside too.

 

3.Hot drinks - Nothing screams " warming up" better than a

tea or coffee. I happen not to drink either but I do particularly like to indulge in a milky hot chocolate (actually quite often!) My favourite at the moment happens to be 'Options  Belgium Instant Hot Chocolate' which I am quite partial to.Starbucks chai lattes are popular with me too.
 

 

4.Cosy up in your room - On a chilly winters day (i.e. today😜) I like to turn on my fairy lights and enjoy the feeling of relaxing on my bed. Peering out from your bedroom window, all warm,looking out at the lashing rain, frantic winds or sleet just makes me feel grateful that I am lovely and warm in my house,as supposed to being freezing outside it.


 5. Embrace it - For my last tip;I decided to think outside the box a little bit for this one. Seeing the bitter coldness outside instead of reminding me that winter is not over yet, just reminds me that I can still rock my cozy snoods and hats without sweating like mad. If winter is here to stay- embrace it ok ? Yours, Cara xx
