January, in any state, any country— NOT THE VIBE. Today, I sit here, cold— freezing— in need of 1,000 blankets. It’s raining and dark, dreary outside. It’s the kind of day where you don’t want to do anything. You just want to cuddle with your dog and watch a movie and of course—nap.
If I had to pick a least favorite month of the year… it would 100% be January. Even in the desert, it’s a nightmare kind of month. You just want to blast the heat in your car. You want to live in sweats and fuzzy socks. Who needs to leave the house? Not me! Just kidding… I still have to go out to work and do all the normal activities I always do. Unfortunately! If only I could avoid responsibilities until the weather is in the 70s again!
I guess we can’t take a month off from life and just stay inside the house and keep warm? It’s a bummer… isn’t it?
To get through January, I recommend a few things for you. A few tips to keep you going and get you through the worst month ever! I have to say, too, I think it’s low-key depressing this month because the holidays are over, and we’re all broke from all the holiday shopping.
Anyway… tips, yes! Here we go!
1) Don’t go out too much besides grocery shopping, work… things you have to do
2) Hot chocolate every night
3) Never leave the house without a coat (and throw on a scarf and hat while you’re at it)
4) Have a blanket in your car at all times
5) Cuddle with your pets
6) Have more self-care nights at home (face mask and wine anyone?)
7) Watch movies on the couch wrapped in a robe and cozy slippers on the feet
8) Take warm bubble baths
9) Watch summer movies and TV shows to warm you up
10) Nap at least once a day
Good luck surviving January, bloggers! Stay warm (as best you can).
