We’ve gotten off pretty easy so far in terms of winter up here in Toronto, but that doesn’t mean our skin and souls aren’t still in need of some serious TLC. Here are some of my current faves – choose a few and put together into a winter survival basket.
1. Good lotion! Most Christmases my mom gives me a container of Body Shop Body Butter and it keeps me seriously hydrated til the first spring blooms.
2. Good watchings! Right now I’m finally catching up on The Wire (recently added to Rogers on Demand) and obsessing over Masterpiece Classic: Downton Abbey (above).
3. Good tea! Or any warm beverage, really. I start the day with a cup of green and end with mint. My faves come from Tealish. And Or try warm apple cider spiked with bourbon, ginger and cardamon bitters.
4. Good music! I’m on team Lana Del Rey. Also loving this song by Gotye.
5. Good warmth! If you’re lucky enough to get away to somewhere warm and sunny, even for a weekend, do it. If you can’t – try a pass to a hot yoga class or turn up the heat and hold a “beach” party inside. My winter is lucky enough to include a trip to this slice of heaven – La Amada.
