From a post on Reddit by an individual who lives in “one of the coldest cities in the world” (Edmonton, AB).
Put your jacket on 5/10min before you have to go outside. It’s the little pockets of air that insulate you. If that air is warm, you will stay warm a lot longer.
Long underwear. For women in an office environment, even a pair of tights or nylons under your pants will make an enormous difference.
Wear a toque (knit hat for Americans). Most of your body heat is lost through your head.
Jeans are the worst for keeping you warm. If you need them for work, wear something that insulates underneath.
Mitts will always keep your hands warmer than gloves.
Stand out of the wind. If you’re walking, walk alongside a wall.
Layer everything loosely. It’s not the additional clothes that keep you warm so much as the pockets of air in between.

5 home remedies for dealing with the funk. I’m a little sketchy about the alcohol since that would probably also dry out the skin (which is why you should avoid spraying body spray into your underarms), but the other solutions are viable.
It probably also bears mentioning that drinking at least two 8 oz. glasses of water per day helps. I’ve had really shitty skin for like… the entirety of my collegiate carrier and senior year of high school. White heads every morning, blemishes constantly. I’ve been on Proactiv, Murad, and three different prescribed pills all increased in mg dosage over time in tandem with Retin A and a prescribed benozoyl cream. I even tried the towel trick to no avail. |
4 weeks ago I started something different. And now I have the face of the gods. In the morning, I mix sugar with warm water. It makes a paste. I get in the shower. I scrub my face with the sugar. It’s not too rough, not to soft… gets everything out. I then shave if I have to (which used to be another no-no). Then I put a moisturizer (cetaphil with spf 15) lightly on. That’s it. My face is now flawless. 5 years and all I had to do was exfoliate with sugar and put on a moisturizer (which fights dryness, and then the oiliness that dryness creates). At night, I just splash my face with warm water. Read more at www.reddit.com |
