Itâs too *bleeping* cold outside, and letâs be honest, even penguins would be whining about this. If you absolutely must leave the warmth of your Netflix cocoon, here are three hacks to survive the tundra:
1. Layer Like a Burrito
Think of yourself as the Chipotle of winter fashion: base layer (thermal), middle layer (sweater), and outer shell (coat). Bonus points for accessorizing with scarves and gloves so thick youâll lose all dexterity but keep all your fingers. Remember, thereâs no such thing as over-layeringâjust call it "fashionably bulky."
2. DIY Heat Packs
If you canât feel your fingers, toss some uncooked rice into a sock, microwave it for a minute, and voilaâinstant hand warmers! Shove them into your gloves or pockets and pretend youâre holding onto tiny tropical vacations. Just donât mix them up with your snack bag.
3. Grease Your Face
Wind chill is not your friend, but petroleum jelly is. Slather some on your cheeks, nose, and lips before heading out, and youâll look like a glazed donut that winter canât crack. Bonus: It doubles as moisturizer, because who isnât dry as a breadstick in this weather?
Stay warm out there, folks! Or better yet, stay in.
