It's that time of year again. The sun never comes out. Your hands constantly feel frozen. You feel so dark and gloomy although its suppose to be the "best time of the year." Holidays are only a small part of the winter season, and even those are hard to get through

Here is your Winter Survival Advice to get through this time of the year.

1. Fill your kitchen pantry up with hot chocolate.

2. Buy yourself a heated blanket.

3. Make sure you have a dog that will cuddle you 24:7. Who needs a boyfriend right?

4. Stock up your closet with the softest sweaters of all time.

5. Make sure you have winter boots next to your door.

6. Buy yourself a North Face Parka, it is expensive but insanely worth it.

7. Actually wear hats, gloves, scarves, etc.

8. Keep yourself busy.

9. Make sure your car has an ice scraper (and extra gloves to scrape with).

10. Beanies are in, start wearing them.

11. Stop worrying if you look like an Eskimo. Most people do.

12. Surround yourself with friends and family to keep the love going. Holidays can be hard but you can get through this.

Best of luck to you all trying to survive this winter season. Only a few more months until Spring Break. You can make it!

XOXO,
