Maybe some of you will label me as `idiot` after reading this but I have to tell you a little weather details about my likes. You know, I`ve always hated the cold. Actually, I`ve always hated Winter. The muddy weather, another worst thing about winter is how it gets cold and dark really early , the fog, the sneezes, the bone penetrating colddddd. And then, the flu…nope, definitely people, I am not a fan of winter. Not at all. Not a tiny bit. Bleacsss

Wait, wait, there`s a connection with the pictures today just go on reading.

I never was a sick child nor a low immunity adult, I don`t get sick, almost never, except during Winter, when the flu gets me…Ok, it may be because I am always dressed like it`s summer – Ana`s Personal Style Secret – I hate winter clothes and most of the times I am wearing Spring clothes in Winter – that may be an explanation for the frequent colds, I know, thank you.

But fact is that because of getting cold I miss winter-ish things like: ice skating (last year when all my friends went and I was sitting in bed, dead cold), hot wine on a bench in the park or taking fairytale pictures when it`s snowing.

However, I am determined to welcome this Winter with another mind focus. Like in today`s pictures, I am and will forever be a cat person but lately I tried to open my heart to dogs too. They are marvelously lovable creatures. I found these puppies the last time I visited European Heritage and as the pictures show, we had spent some quality time together.

Long story short, cold and flus won`t stop me from loving Winter from now on. I am determined. And I`ve developed a strategy for starting to become a winter lover. Because when your throat aches you focus on the pain and might miss the beauty around you.

 

Here are my 3 easy steps from going from hatin` to lovin` winter:

 

• I`m going to focus on the snowing evenings, I am going to take long walks in parks right after it snows, when everything is peaceful and calm

• I`ve discovered a new platform SOSraceala.ro that will help me/us (I hope I am not the only one in this situation) discover what symptoms I have for each type of cold or flu, where we can take tests or discover fun manners of how we can prevent getting cold – pretty helpful platform, I might add

• Because of the little details like hot chocolate (only in winter), that ultra-rich moisturizer, the big,bold, red wines, fuzzy slippers and pajamas, natural blush color, hot tubs, big scarfs, tree branches covered in snow, hot toddy`s, that Acne knitted blouse, the drama of saying `winter is cominggg`, carbohydrates become acceptable somehow, a new year starts and we`ll have more reasons to start over and try harder to follow our dreams.

 

But most of all, I think I`m starting to love winter because cold weather is a reason to stay inside and write more, as in stay inside and talk more with all of you. #yeyyy

 

Make sure you`re not missing the fun and positive part of this dreamy season – click on SOSRaceala.ro  and take the test to discover which type of flu or cold might affect you. Because yes, it`s much more easy to prevent than to cure.
