Farewell winter

Farewell winter

When the coldest season of the year is finishing up, we can usually think of a million reasons to be glad spring is coming. But here are a few positive things about winter to help get through those last few weeks of dull weather!

  • Five reasons to love the final weeks of winter:
    1. Cold, drab days are the perfect excuse for staying home to watch DVDs in your trackies.
    2. Hot chocolate and marshmallows are standard requirements for a catch-up with girlfriends.
    3. You can snuggle up with someone you love (or a good book) under the doona for hours.
    4. There’s nothing like making vegie soup and inviting a few friends around to share a bowl with you, plus crusty bread and a bottle of red.
    5. You don’t have to be as diligent with beauty treatments like waxing, fake tanning and painting your toe nails. (Though you might like to start planning a pamper day to get your bod ready for spring dresses!)
