7 Tips To Finding The Perfect Winter Coat

Fall has arrived, so do not let the warm sunny days fool you. Winter is quickly approaching and now is the time to purchase a warm coat. Finding the perfect coat can be a difficult task, but using helpful tips can make the job much easier. There are seven essential tips that a person needs to consider in order to purchase the perfect coat that is best for them.

1. A person should search for their winter coat early.

Before the winter season starts so they will be prepared for the freezing temperatures ahead. Also, shopping early for a winter coat allows people to catch some great deals and save money. People in search of a perfect winter coat should look for quality by reading every label carefully.

2. Make sure the coat is not made of cheap fabrics and acrylics.

Also, be aware that some wool coats still have a small percentage of wool and a large percentage of nylon and spandex. These fabrics, including polyester, will not keep you warm in the cold.

3. Be prepared for disappointment because finding the perfect winter coat takes time.

It is trial and error. Patience is important while shopping for the perfect coat because you need to see all the coats in every possible retail store. Looking for a winter coat and trying on lots of winter coats is time consuming, but finding the perfect coat will be worth the hassle.

4. You should have enough room to wear layers underneath your coat.

As your layers move in different directions, not having enough room is the very uncomfortable, leaving you feeling like a stuffed turkey.

5. You should also know the style you're going for and what suits your body.

As far as choosing a coat— a calf-length or knee-length or one that is hooded or collared. Knowing what works for you will ease the process by eliminating a bunch of coats that would not suit your needs.

6. Your perfect winter coat should always have pockets.

Having a place to keep your hands warm in a snow storm is crucial whether you are wearing gloves or not.

7.Lastly, never prioritize trends over warmth when purchasing your winter coat.

There is nothing wrong with being stylish. However, do not sacrifice extra warmth for a coat that is trendy for the moment.

If you don’t already have one sitting in your closet, now is the time to buy a winter coat.

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.
