So that’s my list for this year, I’ll check in mid-season to let you all know how I’m going. In the mean time, I’d love to hear what little things you love to do in Autumn/Winter to make the most of the cold weather, be sure to leave me some suggestions in the comments below!
Brilliant list – my sister in law just gave me a sachet of mint hot chocolate that she loves so I’m going to try that out soon (not really a hot choc fan so we’ll see) and I love the cookie and curry goals!
I am looking forward to buying a new winter coat this year, skipped last year and it made me sad 🙁 I vouch for the Origins Drink Up Intensive Overnight Mask for hydration (smells amazing, too!) but they also have a 10 min version that is meant to be lovely as well 🙂
Mint hot chocolate is DIVINE. Although I’m not sure anything will compare to the mint hot chocolate I always order from San Churro. Yummy.
Thanks for the face mask tip!
I hate Summer too! I’ve often thought of escaping to the Northern Hemisphere during Summer so I can avoid it completely. Sometimes I think it’s just the Sydney humidity that I can’t handle, but a recent trip to Adelaide in 42 degree dry heat made me see that I hate it all equally 🙂
I am seeing some similarities in your list and the one I have going in my head. If you find a good coat – do share!
Haha yes, I think I hate ALL heat equally too. I feel like we should just move to Tasmania and be done with it! I’ll definitely keep you posted on any coats I find 🙂
