12 Things To Help With Winter Blues

One day closer to spring.

12 Things To Help With Winter Blues

Do you ever just need some things to make it through this cold season? Here is a list of 12 things that can help with your battle towards spring.

1. Cooking/Baking


Hello, Pinterest! When it is freezing and snowy outside, why not try some of those recipes you pinned long ago? The homemade broccoli cheddar soup, or those delicious triple chocolate cookies will be just what you need to stay warm and full while cozy inside.

2. Crafts

Because there's nothing a clear canvas, some pretty glitter, and bright paints can't make better.


3. Organizing

Best way to keep busy, while keeping warm. You might as well start with your closet and clear that out while you have a reason to stay inside. Hey, you may find an old sweater you forgot you loved.

4. Finding new music

Spotify, Pandora, Youtube, everywhere. New songs that you can play on repeat until you learn all the lyrics are the best kinds of songs, especially when you are home alone on these snowy wintery days.

5. Working out

Fool-proof way to feel happier. Some good music, a good sweat, and lots of water is one of the best things to do, even if it might be hard getting out in the cold.

6. Taking photos

Whether you bundle up and venture outside for a fun (and freezing) photoshoot or take pictures inside, it keeps you busy and we have to admit that winter is beautiful so why not document the lovely sun reflecting off the snow frozen land? (Just maybe take the picture from your pjs and slippers inside your living room.)

7. Cute cafes

Warm tea, trying new things, and yummy cookies. What could be better?


8. Good movies

Whether you prefer the theater or at home, movies are a wonderful way to pass time. I like them better snuggled up on my own couch with 12 blankets.

9. Mani-Pedis

Wishful thinking for summer since no one will see your toes under the fuzzy socks and boots. Still a nice way to pamper and relax.

10. Ice-skating

A fun winter activity that is even more fun with a big group of friends. It is sure to give some good laughs and falls.


11. Warm clothes

A big cozy sweater and even bigger scarf with some fuzzy socks. A warm flannel and leggings. Slippers and a fuzzy robe. Whatever it is, pair it with a cup of hot cocoa and your'e all set to go.

12. Candles

Few things can top laying in bed watching a movie in a room lit with delicious scented candles. Sugar cookies, cinnamon apple, and pumpkin are just a few that will give you the winter wonderland feel while staying in.

Winter doesn't have to be all misery! Spice it up and little and count down the days until spring.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
