Once New York hits freezing temperatures, a quick trip to the car without proper gear can feel like you stepped into Antarctica. For this reason, it is essential to have a good coat, hat, scarf (optional), and gloves/mittens. With good gear you can also participate in the most fun festive activities: Snowball fights, snow angel making, and snowman contests!!!

where i live is cold and snowy. even in march.
get a good (not necessarily expensive) jacket and good (not necessarily expensive) boots. once your equipment is right, you can experience the cold in comfort.
take walks when its snowing or just after. appreciate the way all sound is dampened. set yourself little tasks, birdwatching or walking to get coffee.
at the end of your venture, appreciate the comfort of finally coming in out of the cold, how much more inviting your space feels and the sensation in the flush of your face.

I start kicking my feet at the thought of tasting such a delicious spoonful. Snow ice cream is such a quick and enjoyable sweet treat. Here's how to get started! First you'll need to gather snow, condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Here are the steps:
1. place a bowl outside on a high surface (on top of a vehicle is perfect)
BE SURE TO CHECK ON BOWL PERIODICALLY TO MAKE SURE IT DOESN'T BLOW AWAY
2. Let the snow fall until the bowl is full (it's important that you don't scoop snow off of the ground that's kind of dirty)
3. Quickly (the snow melts very fast) bring the bowl inside and pour a can of condensed milk into the snow
4. Mix
5. Add in 4-5 decent drops of vanilla extract
6. Mix
7. Enjoy!

Being ashy is not fun and it's also terrible for your skin. As someone who suffers from dry skin in the winter, I recommend lathering some shea butter on your face before stepping out of the house. This can be applied to your hands as well. A+D Ointment and Vaseline are also good facial products to keep your skin moisturized. Another option for your hands is Palmers Cocoa Butter Formula Lotion. This is an effective and quicker option compared to the shea butter. Sometimes the butter takes time to work into the skin. I personally make time to moisturize my hands with both. I find this lasts longer. As for lips, some good options include Chapstick brand Original Chapstick, Blistex, Aquaphor, or Fenty Skin Lux Balm.
