8 Reasons To Love Winter

'Tis the season to get all snug

8 Reasons To Love Winter
@paolipeaks

The temps may be frosty outside, but what better excuse for canceling plans to Netflix and chill with your S.O. inside? Here are 8 irresistible indulgences we heart about this time of year.

1. Men's Flannel

Specifically, guys wearing said flannels. There's just something so ruggedly sexy about boy (or a potential boyfriend) in a lived-in button-up that has you dreaming of him chopping wood, even if he's never picked up an ax in his life.

2. Heated Blankets

Blankets are the definition of "snug," especially when you're cozying up with someone else underneath it. Bonus points if it’s covered in luxe (faux) fur.

3. Snuggly Boots

Summer is prime season for showing off cute footwear, from wedges to super-strappy sandals. But because of that, summer is also prime season for gross blisters. That’s not the case when you’re wearing boots, since you can double up on socks, or go for a pair with a fuzzy teddy-bear-like interior, without stomping all over your style.

4. Hot Chocolate

Everyone and their mother loves a PSL. But like that song you hear on the radio every five minutes, it gets old after awhile. Hot chocolate, on the other hand, never gets old.

5. Thick Scarves

Scarves are the cold-weather equivalent of sunglasses: They disguise the signs of a hangover and help you hide from your ex. That’s not even counting how warm and cozy they keep you.

6. Dark Lipstick

Nothing will make you feel like a #NastyWoman quite like deep, dark lipstick. Whether rich merlot is as crazy as you’ll ever get or you’re down for edgier colors like navy or violet, one swipe will bring out your naughtiest side.

7. Mountains Filled With Snow

Skiing, snowboarding, and snow! Seriously what could be more fun? You get to utilize 3 and 5 while on the snowy mountain.

8. Outdoorsy Candles

Candles aren’t exclusive to winter weather. But nothing beats the glow of a lit wick (or eight) on a cold, dark night, which only gets better as it scents your pad with a fragrance that fits the season.

Why Theater Kids Are the Greatest People Ever

Supportive and spontaneous human beings are the best.

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.
