Winter Essentials Nov2014

The thought of winter being upon us makes me want to hibernate until spring. Luckily, there are some bits and bobs that make the cold weather more tolerable.

These are my must have products for battling Old Man Winter:

Bigelow Orange & Spice and Twinings Lemon & Ginger teas both are so good....not fruity, not too herbally...just perfect for the season Ugg boots Maybe not the most fashionable but the warmest, coziest boots for subzero temps. A must for runny errands or even around the house. I have them in chocolate brown. Body oil Can be used on body right after bath/shower or poured in bath. Also can be used on hair.  This one smells amazing and I typically dislike vanilla and gardenia scents but his one is a joy to use.  Fish oil This really makes a difference in the condition of my skin and overall health throughout the winter. I cannot take fish oil capsules as they make me burp up fish all day (ugh) but this liquid version from Carlson actually tastes like lemon and does not make me taste fish all day. Plus it's nice in a homemade salad dressing! Hand cream Cold & flu season means frequent washing and dry hands so I slather on hand cream all day long. Of all the hand creams I've tried both drugstore and high end (and I've tried a lot) this one is heaven. Beautiful delicate scent, not sticky, absorbs quickly and actually moisturizes my hands.

What are your winter must haves?
