SURVIVING A MINNESOTA WINTER

HENNEPIN BLOG | SURVIVING A MN WINTER


The weather and I are in a fight. I've been bad talking this Minnesotan weather for awhile now and it finally decided to fight back. The first step I took outside my front door on Monday landed me on the snow and ice covered ground resulting in bruises and a lovely goose egg.

So I need to stop complaining and just tough it out. Hey, supposedlyyy there are only 13 more days of winter. But I feel like my calendar must be lying to me.

So for the next 2 weeks I will be hibernating with a few essentials to surviving this winter. These include:
-A fresh, clean candle to clear out the winter doldrums.
-Cozying up with my stories.
-Dry shampooing to avoid static and to cover up the fact that I won't be leaving my bed for 2 weeks.
-Wools socks, I freaking love wool socks! I steal them from my family and boyfran.
-Plaid scarf to live in.
-Aquaphor, God's gift to mankind. I literally would not survive winter without it on my lips and cuticles.
-Flannel sheets, because I can control the world from my bed and it should be soft and snuggly.
-And a nice glass of something warm. Or just wine in a mug.

Covet: Planner for a New Year

covet

New year, new planner. 2013 is here and I am in need of a new way to organize my life since my previous Kate Spade planner rudely and abruptly cut me off yesterday. I usually use mine for daily To Do lists rather than marking dates so I only need something simple with enough room on every day for the lists that I'll eventually ch-check off. Above are a few of the planners I am considering. A few of them are 20% off through today so I think I'll go for the Large Agenda Scheduler in forest green and I guess I'll be stuck with post-it note To Do lists until it ships. Life in 2013 is rough.

Covet: The Late Autumn Boot

Clarks Desert Boot (Beeswax Leather), Clarks Desert Boot (Oakwood Suede), House of Harlow 1960 Killian Bootie, DV By Dolce Vita Madge Lace-Up Ankle Boot, Clarks Desert Breeze, Eric Michael Desert




I need a pair of warm boots without that awkward bulk that winter boots are so famous for. Think Uggs (blech) or Sorels. These 6 boots seem to be the perfect transition from ballet flats to riding boots for this unseasonably warm Minnesota November. I am in love with the desert boot and chukka style and the beeswax leather reminds me of my favorite Doc Martens that I absolutely hadddd to have when I was 15. I am leaning towards the Oakwood Suede Clarks Desert Boot or the Clarks Desert Breeze for purchase.
