Hey friends. Happy Thursday and last Thursday of the month. I am linking up today with Patty and Holly for monthly musing. This months theme is Winter Self care.
1- How do you take care of yourself in the winter?
I wouldn't say I do anything different in the winter compared to all year to take care of myself. I try to move my body every day, eat lots of veggies and protein, limit my sugar, and drink at least 80 oz of water a day.
2- How do you fight the winter blues?
Remember it is just a season. Soon enough we will be complaining about the heat.
3- Tips to make your living space cozy?
Blankets, candles, and we use our fireplace a lot in the winter.
4- Suggestion for fun wintertime activities?
Curling up by the fireplace reading a book. Outside playing in the snow, building a snowman or going sledding.
5- What are your exercise routines in the winter?
My exercise routine doesn't change between winter and other season. I always work out at home in my basement. I have a MYX bike and stream workouts. Right now I am doing 23 minute workouts with The Ladies Edge.
6- Best Tips for Restful Sleep?
Don't have kids, just kidding kinda. We have a humidifier and diffuser in our room. In the diffuser I use lemon, lavender and eucalyptus. We also have black out curtains. I try not to have any caffeine after 4 pm (sometimes I end up drinking a pre=workout later but will do a half a dose) My new nighttime drink is a fiberise and mela-out that I get from my monthly wellness box.
7- Favorite Warm Beverage
In the morning coffee, at night decaf tea
8- Best Winter Skincare tips?
All the mositurizer
9- Flannel sheet- yes or no
No because Brian gets to hot. We do have a heated blanket that I turn on before bed, he normally kicks it off.
10- Favorite winter pajamas
i have a mix match flannel pants and a long sleep top with Minnie Mouse.
My sleep tip was not to co-sleep with your toddler! Haha. I was just kidding too!! We don’t use flannel sheets, either. I need to start a workout routine, but I just haven’t done it yet!
ReplyDeleteDon't have kids?! Hysterical and so very true right? ;)
ReplyDeleteGetting a humidifer that's also a diffuser was a game changer!
ReplyDelete#2 is so right!
ReplyDeleteYour answer to #6 cracked me up!! I did sleep so soundly before we ever had kids and now I wake up with any little noise...
ReplyDeleteExcellent tips on the water intake. I am not sure how much water I take in but will try to up my water too! Thanks for joining in with us.
ReplyDeleteCatching up on my Monthly Musings a bit late :) Oh my gosh -- even though the kids are teens, I would still sleep better without them! Hahaha!
