Pamper Yourself
It seems like 2019 is all about self-care. So treat yourself to a day of pampering. Draw a hot bath, plop in a bath bomb and RELAX! Once you’re warmed up, a face mask can be a great way to brighten up dry skin that feels a little worn out from the winter. Top off your day of pampering, with an at-home manicure. Try out a bright nail color. It is a great way to fight those winter blues!

Read A Book
If you’re anything like me, then you probably have a stack of books in your room that you always said you would get around to reading, but never did. A freezing cold day is a great time to curl up and finally pick up one of those books you’ve been putting off reading.

Make A Playlist
It’s so easy to get tired and uninspired by the music you always listen to, especially in the winter. It can be really fun to browse through Spotify or Apple Music and search for some new artists/songs. Making a playlist full of new songs is a great way to get motivated and inspired during the cold months.
