They make fashionable and practical outerwear and snowboots. Plus, they also have just launched a new line of snowboards to keep you looking hip, while still being a serious rider on the hill.

Benefit Honey, Snap Out Of It Scrub will keep you glowing even when the sun's not shining. It's one of my all-time favourite skin care products, and thankfully my mother replenished my stock this Christmas. It's a morning must for smooth skin. Use daily for unclogging pores, deep cleaning and gentle exfoliating. With triple milled almond paste, you can feel the vacuum cleaning begin immediately. Seriously amazing!

I love throwing a hat over my locks and not having to worry about them- especially in the rain and snow. Scarves are absolutely one of my favourite winter accessories. You can change your whole outfit by throwing on a different scarf. I just picked up a new black and red one last weekend at Winners. My other favourite finds this season have been at second hand stores, H&M and Urban Outfitters. There is so much cute gear for heads and toes.

I'm a little boot obsessed this year. UGGs are another a staple, which I couldn't live without...like butter on my feet, I tell you.

Photo courtesy of Blog ApogeeOne of my favourite things to do on a cold winter night is to curl up with a big mug of hot chocolate. Check out this amazing recipe. I don't watch much television but watching tv shows on dvd is one of my guilty pleasures. The Sex and the City and Friends series are classics, but I am always on the hunt for new ones. Up next is: Big Love, season two.
What are your winter must-haves? What does it take to keep you smiling through the coldest months of the year?

Definitely necessities, Pat. And I was just reading your blog when your comment came through and popped up- weird. :)
snowboarding, bumble and bumble, warm fuzzy apparel and sex and the city? I had to re-check the url on this post for a minute there :-P
Honestly I usually get really bummed (and sick), hence the post on S.A.D. but my birthday will get me through the next two weeks, then we'll go from there.
Someone broke the cardinal rule of blogging...
Which is?
*cough*cough*photocredits*cough*cough*
I know, I know...guilty as charged. But if you click the images they *will* take you to the original sources. I need some blog design classes or something because every time I tried to put the credits in there, it totally messed the whole layout up. I made sure to put in the Style Bytes credit though because that's her original image.
In that photo with the scarf and hat I was fixated by those skinny jeans...
Indeed, those are some fine lookin' skinnies that Miss Style Bytes is rocking in that photo.
That's coding, not design.
Well, clearly my weak web skills are glaringly apparent as I don't even know the proper terminology. Regardless, I have re-worked the layout to include the credits because I agree that it's important.
Got to have a fleece jacket and a gore-text jacket. Can't forget about that lip balm either!
I couldn't live without my Uggs either!!!
