First Day of Winter

Here are some tips to help you navigate the season:

  1. Dress warmly – Layer your clothing to trap heat and insulate your body. Wear a hat, gloves and a scarf to protect exposed areas from the cold.
  2. Stay hydrated – although it’s not as noticeable as in the summer, it’s still important to drink plenty of fluids during winter to stay hydrated.
  3. Take care of your skin – Cold weather can be harsh on your skin, so make sure to moisturize to prevent dryness and cracking. Use lip balm to keep your lips from getting chapped.
  4. Stay active – it can be tempting to hibernate indoors during Winter but staying active is crucial for your overall well-being.
  5. Embrace Winter activities – Instead of dreading the cold, participate in activities like skiing, ice skating or playing in the snow. Enjoying outdoor activities can help you appreciate the season and make the most of it.
  6. Warm meals – Soup is a comforting and popular choice during the winter season. It warms you up from the inside and provides nourishment. Here is a recipe to try out:

Moving house during the winter season can present some unique challenges due to the colder weather and potential for inclement conditions. However, with proper planning and preparation, you can ensure a smooth and successful move. Here are some tips to help you when moving house in winter:

  1. Check the weather forecast: Stay updated on the weather conditions leading up to your move day. Be prepared for possible snow, ice, or rain by having appropriate clothing, footwear, and equipment on hand.
  2. Protect your floors: Winter can bring in a lot of moisture, so use floor coverings or tarps to protect your floors from mud and water during the moving process.
  3. Keep your new home warm: Before the move, ensure that the utilities are set up at your new home, including heating. It’s important to have a warm and comfortable environment for yourself and the movers during the move-in process.
  4. Pack and protect fragile items carefully: Cold temperatures can affect fragile items, so take extra care when packing and transporting delicate belongings. Use appropriate packing materials and wrap them in bubble wrap or blankets to provide insulation.
  5. Have essential supplies on hand: Keep a box of essential items handy, such as warm clothing, blankets, flashlights, snacks, and hot beverages. These will be helpful if there are any delays or unexpected circumstances during the move.
  6. Plan for shorter daylight hours: Keep in mind that winter days have shorter daylight hours. Start the move early to ensure you have enough daylight to complete the process and to be mindful of visibility on the road.
  7. Be flexible and patient: Winter weather can be unpredictable, so be prepared for potential delays or rescheduling due to unsafe conditions. Stay in touch with your moving company or helpers to communicate and adjust plans as needed.
