winter

Hibernating isn't just for bears. Spend a weekend tucking your house in before the big freeze, and face spring singing

One of the things I hate most about winter (aside from snow, the cold, snow, the cold, snow and you get the picture) is the fact that my lips are constantly dry. And by constantly I mean practically every minute of the day.

When it comes to winter gear, I usually look like the Michelin man. Padded with so many layers, I'm bundled up in a hat, scarf, gloves, wool socks, wool sweater, long johns, etc. I just can’t do cute at 15 degrees below. And the biggest problem seems to be my hair. No matter how nice it may look when I leave the house—I mean, I do try—by the end of the day it’s inevitably stuck to my face and standing on end. Static hair is my nemesis.
