8 Winter Essentials that you must have!

Winter is here or coming (depending on where you live)!

So as we are brave it through this chilly season it made me think about  8 Winter essentials that you must have to make it through these dull grey chilly winter months!

 

My top 8 Winter essentials are:

Fire

First of all, nothing beats a warm, cosy and roaring fire.  I love watching it glow and the heat that it provides is amazing. We can not forget the ambience that it creates, perfect on a cold grey winters day.  This has to be one of my favourite things about winter for sure!

Coffee

A Hot Cup of Coffee. To me, the smell of hot coffee in the air is amazing.  I find one of the best things to do on a cold winters day is to sit down in front of the fire with a hot cup of delicious coffee and a favourite book or mag!

Magazines & Books

That brings me on to my next item, a favourite magazine or book. When the weather is grey and cold, I love to snuggle down on the couch under a blanket with a great magazine or book.

A favourite mag in my house at the moment is Australian home beautiful. It has the most amazing and inspirational home ideas.

Also, because it is a magazine from Australia and their seasons are the same as New Zealand it has relevant and specific items.

Cosy blankets

You cannot beat a warm [amazon_textlink asin=’B00XLV72H4′ text=’luxury blanket’ template=’ProductLink’ store=’ellecherie-20′ marketplace=’US’ link_id=’d172766e-b79c-11e7-be46-31cccb9d297b’]. A comfy blanket is a total must on a winter’s day, and it is the best feeling to be under a warm and cosy blanket while it is pouring with rain outside, wouldn’t you agree?

Bring on the food!

Delicious Food. Winter is a good excuse to eat the most delicious and heart-warming food.

My favourites during the cold months is a warm tossed roast vegetable salad that is sprinkled with feta and drizzled with balsamic vinegar – so yum!

Chill out Music

[amazon_textlink asin=’B002Y2T346′ text=’ Ultimate chill out music’ template=’ProductLink’ store=’ellecherie-20′ marketplace=’US’ link_id=’ead81411-b79c-11e7-a473-53d81dc9482e’] – I enjoy chill out music, it helps me relax, and I always feel that it creates a relaxing and calming atmosphere.

Spotify has some fantastic playlists for chill out music. So check it out today.

Cosy Socks

Cosy socks – these are totally amazing.  You know the ones that are like slipper socks, but they are so warm and soft and probably the best and cosiest socks ever!

And finally…

In addition to comfortable socks, hand cream is a must. Over winter my hands always feel dry and horrible, so I like to keep my favourite hand cream close by to keep my hands feeling moisturised, soft and smooth!

The one I am using at the moment is Vaseline Intensive care for hands.

So, there you have it, my top 8 winter essentials that you must have to get through the chilly season!
