What To Do When It’s Too Cold Out     Personally speaking, winter weather is not my favorite thing in the world.  However, living in the Northeast, it is practically impossible to avoid.  Snowstorms have been coating all states near the Atlantic––causing cities to shut down transportation, and advising that others should avoid driving.  So what do you do when you’re trapped inside?  + Catch Up on Some Reading      It’s so easy for us to immediately get sucked into all of the endless amounts of visual stimulation our technological devices offer to us.  While this is sometimes an advantage, and an extremely helpful tool, imagine how much of a time suck it really can become.      Being trapped inside is the perfect opportunity to grab one of the books on your hidden bookshelves (that maybe you bought on a whim, but never had the chance to read).  Or, you can look up tons of recommendations online, and order an eBook right to your phone, kindle, tablet, laptop, etc..  What I like to do is see what books are being made into movies soon, and try and finish them before they hit the theaters.  + Take a Hot Bath     Work and school are stressful.  When’s the last time you could really sit down in your tub, light some candles, and put on a face-mask?  And what is better than a nice hot bath on a freezing day.  It will make you feel less stressed, and ‘clear-headed’.  + Exercise      You don’t need equipment or a gym provider to work out.  It’s so easy now-a-days to go to youtube and find quick workouts you can do at home with no equipment.  Take advantage of this time and sweat it out (I recommend following this session with a long bath), especially since you probably will be sitting mostly all day if you’re stuck inside.+ Treat Yourself to a Home-Cooked Meal     Sad-lunchbox meal no longer.  Make a warm curry, soup, or stew for the ultimate comfort food.  Or, since you have the accessibility of a kitchen, why not explore a new recipe you’ve been wanting to try?  There are tons of interesting recipes online to choose from, and if you are with family or friends, they’ll very much appreciate the food. + Movie Marathons    A no-brainer.  Netflix, Amazon, and even Hulu provide as the essentials for most of us.  New show you didn’t have the chance to start?  Movie you’ve been dying to see? Now is the time!  Even if you don’t have these subscriptions, you can always find something on demand or online.  The options are endless. + Get Some Work Done    Okay, okay this is probably the LAST thing most of you are thinking when you think of being snowed in––but hear me out.  You have a whole day to get some work done, and you don’t even need to spend every last minute doing so.  It’s so refreshing to finish up your work for the remaining week or so and having free time to do other things––like go out once the snow clears up.  Article By ZoëPhoto by Karolina  -- source link
