TIP: How to keep warm during this time of the year

I know, I know, it's already spring and the weather has changed to a slightly warmer temperature now but nevertheless, I decided to share how I survive through the cold weather at night or in the early mornings.

I am a person that has cold hands regardless of the weather. Except for when it's really hot.  My body might not be necessarily cold, but my hands are just freezing.

I don't usually drink plain coffee but here's an example of a hot drink :)

1. Hot drinks are your new best friend
Not only do hot drinks warm up your hand, but they heat up the inside of your body to make you feel warmer.  And especially in the colder seasons, drinking cold drinks are actually bad for you, because not only is your body already chilly, and the fact that you are putting in more of the coldness, might just cause sicknesses.  In my own experience, every time I take in a cup of tea or even some warm water, I feel the temperature change happening in my body.  I'm no longer shivering or wearing a million layers.  Try this, and I guarantee you a change.  And you will be satisfied.

When I first bought it, it was pure white, but after wearing it a lot of times, it's becoming black

2. Get yourself a lightweight down coat
Once I started wearing this piece of clothing, I didn't even have to worry about wearing a bunch of layers and feeling uncomfortable.  These coats are super lightweight, and you can fold them and even fit them into a tiny bag.  They are a very easy piece to carry around, and they keep you super warm.  At first, I didn't even believe it.  But when I tried it on, whoa, it made a huge difference.  I really recommend considering to invest in a good-quality lightweight down coat.  I got mine at a store called Uniqlo.  They have so many color varieties, and of course, I got the plain white one.  When you wear this coat, you might feel a bit puffy or big, but trust me, you wouldn't care about how you look after knowing how warm this coat will make you.

3. Fuzzy socks are not only worn at home !
These comfortable pieces are a must to have during the winter season.  I wear them at around the home day and night, and even to school! Just make sure the other things you wear do not look too lazy, because that will just make you look like you've just got out of bed.  I usually pair mine up with a pair of sneakers or sheepskin boots.

4. Move around more
There is no doubt that increasing physical activity will heat up the body.  So don't just sit there all day, just with a cup of tea and many layers on(or just a lightweight down coat), you still have to get up and move a little to help your body stay warm.  Many people are lazy especially in the colder weather, but try to avoid that.  To be honest, I'm pretty lazy too, but I always try my best to just at least walk around or do something that will warm up my body.

5. Pile on the blankets
If you are a person that doesn't like to wear too many layers in bed, I would recommend you to cover yourself with thicker and more blankets.  It will really help especially because your body is not in motion at all during your sleep.



Stay warm!
