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.

Minnesotans love anything hockey related. I think 115,000+ people at Red Bull Crashed Ice in Saint Paul this weekend proved that.

Wear: Heroic Capelet

A CAPE is the perfect layer for those who have to endure this frozen tundra. I just picked up Imogene + Willie's Florence Cape. And apparently in the nick of time because they seem to be sold out everywhere now. After looking (and almost fainting) at the forecast for the next week, my new dress code will be a mandatory minimum of 4 layers. Scarves can count as one.
