Tips For Staying Warm This Winter
GloHoliday

Ah! It’s that time of year again! If you live in Florida, this means absolutely nothing to you when you’re basking on beaches in the 80s, but as for us Chicagoans, we’re freezing to death in 30 minutes with that -20 ºF with windchill. We’ve got snow snow and more snow, so I’ve taken it upon myself to compile a list of random things that may or may not keep you warm this winter. Forewarning (or should I say, forewarming?) they get more irrelevant as you read.

1. These Dance Warm Up Booties

[link]

I’m unsure why they are so expensive, but they come in a variety of colors.

2. The Knit Dickey

[link]

It’s not as suitable as an actual turtleneck, but it’s a hell of a lot cheaper.

3. The Pajamas Warming Pouch

[link]

Well, based on the reviews, there are no cons to be had about this contraption. An alternative: throw your pajamas in the dryer for a couple minutes and consider it the same effect.

4. The LightMate

[link]

I’m pretty sure this is the saddest thing I’ve ever seen, but for those of you without a cuddle buddy this cold winter, you might find it the best. Can’t get you a man? Get you a pillow like dat.

5. Smoking Mittens

[link]

Tryna stay warm? Need a smoke? Get you mittens that can do both.

6. The Dachshund Door Draft Stopper

[link]

Cute and effective.

7. Beard Hat/Beanie

[link]

This 100% looks like an Ood from Doctor Who. Not a Whovian? Here’s a picture for reference.

8. The movie Warm Bodies

[link]

Watch it while cuddling up to your LightMate for a true warm body experience.

9. The book Warm Bodies

[link]

Are you someone who prefers to read rather than watch? Same situation as #8 just with the book.

10. The Winter of Our Discontent

[link]

Looking for a book but more a classic that is vaguely and not at all related to staying warm this winter? Check out this Steinbeck classic.

11. Cap Ear Band

[link]

Want to wear your baseball cap all year round but afraid that your ears will freeze off in winter? Here’s the solution.

12. “I am freaking cold” Long Sleeve

[link]

It’s the more subtle way to let everyone know because no one wants to hear it when we all feel the exact same.

13. Indoor Snowball Fight

[link]

When the windchill can literally kill you, this is a great alternative to keep the winter fun alive.

14. Miike Snow’s album

[link]

May or may not prove helpful this winter.

15. Hawaiian Shaved Ice and Snow Cone Machine

[link]

Probably not what you need, BUT it’s a bestseller and it’s not that bad of a price.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
