1/28/2025: What is your favorite thing about winter?

Winter is rough. There are a couple of things I like, but I mainly HATE winter. I will say that I LOVE the things that make winter warm. Like hoodies, sweaters, hot coco, fireplaces, blankies, comfy socks, and heaters. I love that feeling of being cold and then warming up. Oh! Also a nice winter book is always nice. 

Is that weird????

How do you beat the winter blues?

I remember doing this prompt last year. I listed things I do personally to avoid the winter blues. This time I'll actually share what "professionals" suggest. 

I found this article that is really informational. Click this link. But here is a synopsis of what they suggest:

- Keep Active. 
- Go Outside
- Keep warm
- Eat Healthy foods
- Get light therapy 
- Sit in front of a light box for 30 mins
- Take up a new hobby
- Stay social
- Talk about it
- Join a support group

One thing I like to do is drink with friends to beat the winter blues. We did that this weekend even though we got a lot of snow. BF, me and a couple of friends went to the Royal Oak Onesie Pub Crawl. It was so much fun! We even got our faces painted. 

Books Releases in January 2018 + Blog All About It.

Some really good books were released this month! The first month of the year really does set a tone for the rest of the year. There is a list of 200 of most popular book releases this month and I have three of them on my list  (so far). Here are the three books I am looking forward to! Maybe I'll read them before the winter is up. Maybe not. We shall see. 

This month I read one book that was just released yesterday. 

I am excited to see what the upcoming winter months are going to be releasing! :) 

What new releases this winter are you excited about?

It's My Birthday and I Can Cry if I Want To!

I hope everyone's day is going great! It's still a little early on this side of the world and I have a lot of birthday left. If I could, I would get everyone these cupcakes (including myself) these are so cool. 

Have a good day everyone! Here are some pictures from the park yesterday. A birthday hike if you will:

Can you find the squirrel?
