Staying In This Winter

When the weather is freezing, snow is falling and frost is forming on the windows, all I want to do is stay in, wear my comfy slippers and sip hot chocolate. But I can only watch so many movies and episodes of Pretty Little Liars. There's actually some productive things you can do around this house until the cold weather breaks.

Make a Festive Drink: Whip up a Pumpkin Cider Beer-tail with some Blue Moon, sparkling cider and cinnamon. Or brew some Mint White Hot Chocolate and add in some Bailey's.

Get Organized: Grab your stylish planner and pens and write down some blog ideas, plan for upcoming birthdays and holidays and set some goals for the coming year.

DIY Mani/Pedi: I love getting mani/pedis but they aren't always the best money saver. When you're sitting around the house, take some time to do your nails in some fun festive colors. If you're feeling ambitious, try some trendy nail styles like ombre or glitter.
