02.15.15 FIGHTING THE WINTER BLUES

This winter has been COLD. Every time I go outside I feel like my face is going to freeze off. Usually January is pretty bad, but I feel like this year February has been worse.

I've only been on the canal once this year. I love going skating, but not when your eyeballs freeze over. Not cool. The winter blues are out in full-force. I am waiting for the moment I can go outside without mitts. That would be nice. But until then, what do I do to fight the winter blues? 

1) NETFLIX. Admittedly I spent too much time in front of my TV. Currently I have the following on the go:

- Prison break, with the boyfriend

- The Office, finishing the series (I never saw seasons 8 and 9)

- Friends, for when I feel like having noise in the background

- New Girl, another being watched with the boyfriend

But what is better than cuddling up on the couch with a thick fuzzy blanket and a cup of tea staring at a screen forgetting about everything else in the world? Nothing, that's what.

2) SHOPPING. You're staying out of the cold and that's all that matters. I haven't done too much of this lately on account of "trying" to be a responsible adult. But I love online shopping... you can window shop and you don't even have to leave your house. Bonus.

3) YOGA. The city hosts a bunch of recreational classes, yoga included. For a sort-of-beginner, this is the perfect (affordable) way to see how much I really like it. Since I've started, I've become addicted to my weekly classes. A great way to get out of the house, but not spend time in the frozen tundra.

What do you do to fight the winter blues?
