Seven Steps to a Super Winter!

Christmas may be over, and the January blues may be lingering; but it's still winter! This has to be one of my favourite times of the year for some many reasons; the gorgeous frosty scenery, warm jumpers and, of course, an excuse to drink excessive amounts of coffee to keep warm! So, I thought I'd share with you guys some of my favourite things to do in the winter!

1) Take tons of wintery photographs!
As I've probably mentioned a ridiculous amount of times, I adore photography, and winter has to be one of the best times of the year to take photos! So, take some time to go for a walk with your camera, whether it's cloudy, frosty, or snowing; it's worth it!





2) Start a scrapbook
Winter means cold days, which means staying indoors, which means lots and lots of time to fill! So, a perfect way to make the most of it is to start a scrapbook! This could be of photographs you've taken, recipes you love, fun days out you've had; there's so much to choose from!

3) Take up an indoor sport or activity

If you're anything like me, the cold weather is enough to put you off going for a run or playing any outdoor sports. But hey, there are tons of fun sports that can be done inside, like badminton, swimming, trampolining, the list goes on! Or, if you're not the sporty type, try a new hobby, like knitting, DIY, or anything you find interesting! For a fun DIY project, try this one!



4) Bake, cook, and bake some more!
I love baking, and there are so many great recipes that are perfect for this time of the year. You could try a wintery soup, or my faves- apple and cinnamon muffins!

5) Movie and pizza nights
These are so much fun! Just invite some friends over, order pizza and watch your favourite movies! This is great fun, super chilled out, and a perfect way to stay out of the cold...

6) Read a good book!
Winter is a great time to grab a book and spend some time curled up on the sofa reading! I'm thinking of posting a 2015 book list kind of thing, so stay tuned!








7) Start planning for summer!
Okay, this may seem a little premature, but the best way to get rid of the January blues is to look ahead to summer! Maybe plan some fun outings with friends; there's nothing wrong with being a little too organised!
