It's finally March! With only a few weeks left of cold weather, we have to try our best to stay as warm as we can during this time! For me, I am always cold, and this time of year can be seriously brutal, especially now that I have to walk to class. I have made a small list of just a few things I personally consider vital to staying warm and comfortable while facing these last few cold weeks:
1. Hats
Some people feel hats are pointless, while others consider them a given! Whatever you chose, just know that wearing a hat is the first step to staying warm! My dad always says, "heat escapes from your head!
2. Scarves
Whether you decide to wear a scarf or a turtleneck, something covering your neck helps keep you warm when facing the cold. For me, my nose is always FREEZING, so I like to cover my nose and mouth with my scarf or turtle neck while walking outside.
3. Layers
During super cold days, try wearing multiple undershirts, sweater, sweatshirts, etc., all under a nice warm winter jacket! It may look a little odd, but it makes such a difference! In addition, tuck your undershirt(s) into your pants to keep the layers tight to your skin and keep you warmer. I also love to layer my pants! This one definitely sounds odd but is barely noticeable and makes a HUGE difference. My favorite is to wear a nice warm and tight pair of leggings under thick jeans.
4. Hand Warmers
I know these are easy to forget, but keeping hand warmers in your pockets keep your hands and sides so nice and toasty, which warms up your whole body!
5. Mittens
Gloves are great, but mittens are incredible. They let your fingers warm up each other! It's like your hands get to be indoors while your outside! And the best is putting your hand warmers inside your mittens!
6. Fuzzy Socks
Wearing fuzzy socks on top of regular socks and then inside a pair of boots, keeps your feet and toes so so warm! When your toes are warm, your whole body is warm!
Good luck facing the cold! It will be warm soon enough!!
