Wintry Delights

People seem to get a tad bit down on winter once the enchantment of the holidays passes, but here are a few things I continue to love about the season!

Hot cocoa WITH whipped cream! (or are those marshmallows? Either way will do!):

Crisp, humidity-free air=smooth hair with zero frizz!

Snuggling up in my warm bed all day with a great book because it’s too cold to go outside:

The opportunity to wear my favorite Anthro boots from last year:

Snow (which made it’s first appearance over the weekend!):

via

Cozy, cuddly blankets:

via

Chunky sweaters:

Eating what I want, because winter clothes are oh so forgiving:

via

Fresh, crisp, non-muggy air:

These are the things I’ll miss when winter’s over. Also, I don’t have a picture for it, but not breaking into a sweat every time I go for a walk. That’s maybe actually #1 on the list.

  5. We actually have some weather here in So Cal! Breaking out the boorish and scarves is so much fun…for a few days. ;0) I also love soups in the winter!

    So true. There are plenty of times when I walk outside and curse the frigid weather, but in the end, I treasure each of the unique pleasures that every season brings. The chunky sweaters, comfort food, and hot cocoa are definitely at the top. And I agree…SO much better with whipped cream ;).

    Enjoy the snow! My boyfriend was so sad he missed it this weekend when he came down from NY! We got a bit of a dusting but not nearly as much as the city did!

    that stack of pancakes looks sooo good! one thing I like about the winter season is having a good excuse to eat a bowl of warm soup. I mean, who really wants hot soup in the summer?

  14. I love reading all day — considering I cannot put down the hunger games, this is the perfect season to do so!

    • Me too, I love when I have a day free to just get lost in a book! Especially The Hunger Games, I couldn't put it down!

  19. I'm so jealous. Mother Nature seems to think it's time for spring here already.
