Oh glorious winter. The season for dry eyes, chapped lips, and static being your hairs' best friend. Most days you probably just want to huddle up in a million blankets and sleep the day away. However, there are little things to make each day a bit more enjoyable.
Here are the best tips and hacks to survive this winter.
1. Chapped Lips Solutions
Vaseline, Aquaphor, or Dr. Bronner's Lip Balm are the three best things to cure your painful peeling lips.
2. How to Cut Down on Hair Frizz
My favorite way to do this is by putting a pump of lotion in my hands and lightly rubbing it in and then running my hands through my hair. No grease or static! Other great solutions include conditioning hair masks and hair oils to keep your hair super hydrated.
3. How to Ensure You Actually Get Out of Bed in the Morning
Keep a pair of fuzzy warm slippers right next to your bed to keep your feet warm. Set your coffee pot for the time your alarm goes off so you have warm coffee to refresh you right away. Lastly, my favorite. While drinking your morning coffee, through your outfit for the day in the dryer for a few minutes. You will have toasty, warm clothes to put on and immediately make your day better.
4. Always Shower at Night
It is always best to shower at night in the winter to ensure your hair is dry before going out in the cold. This is a great way to help prevent a cold. Don't forget to exfoliate away the dead skin cells and moisturize to replenish the new ones!
5. Stay on a Schedule
If you have a schedule to stick to, you will be less tempted to just sleep the day away. Waking up and being productive will ensure you a better nights' sleep and you will feel much better.
6. HYDRATE
It is so easy to get dehydrated in the colder months. Be sure to keep a water bottle with you at all time and hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! You will feel better and perform better throughout the day.
And last but not least, don't forget to spread a little love! Winter months don't have to be bitter months!
