It seems like winter has come early this year. Though I don't mind winter nearly as much as most people - since I hate summer and hot weather - it's still been disappointing because it means that autumn, my absolute favorite season, was cut short.
No matter what the season, its important to fill your life with little pleasures, so here are ones I am enjoying right now.
Once it gets dark before I leave the office, its very important for me to be visible on my bicycle while going home in the evenings. I was sent Runlites mittens to review a few years back, and I have to tell you, I adore them! The lights are extremely bright, and I love that they are rechargeable. They came with thin glove inserts but I lost one last winter, and, besides, they weren't warm enough for Canadian winters. So when it is super cold, I wear another pair of gloves or mittens underneath.
I am often stopped by other cyclists or pedestrians who comment on how awesome they are.
I am also taking advantage of root vegetable season given my obsession with these yummies. My newest discovery is honeynut squash.
They are like butternut squash only smaller, sweeter and with a thinner edible skin (i.e. extra fiber!).
Though I always read tons and listen to podcasts (when doing meal prep or cooking), in the cold weather, there is definitely nothing I love more than hanging out at home and getting cozy with something great to listen to or read.
Recently, I discovered a new, awesome podcast called "Science VS" which is right up my alley.
It provides all the latest empirical evidence on a wide variety of medical, environmental and mental health issues. And it's clever and witty.
Finally, I have been reading novels by author, Alice Hoffman for the last 5 years. Every book I read by her absolutely blows my mind. They are fantastic. Lucky for all of us, she is quite prolific and has a long list of books she has written.
I cannot recommend her work enough!! The Museum or Extraordinary Things was the first of hers I read, but so far, I have adored every single one since.
If you dread the winter months, try to make the most of it by finding little pleasures to enjoy 😊
