Your Pick Me Up.

Everyone needs one, no matter how little or often you get it - at some point you need it.

So today, in honor of today's snowed in activity for the Northeastern people, here's a list of why snow is good.

1. It cleans and preps soil for great planting. 

Whether you believe it or not, snow actually is a great thing for farmers and those who love to plant a lot. The snow acts as cleaner for soil and maintainance for its usage. Without the snow it can actually hurt soil from freezing its great usage and then causing issues for spring planting and growing. If the soil is bad and the planting goes well, we all suffer from it.

2. It is absolutely beautiful.

No denying that a white thick blanket over the streets, trees, grass, mountains is quite stunning and is unlike anything else in this world.

Here's my current view!

3. There's plenty to do.

Sounds counter active to the whole staying-at-home-deal but with kids, pets and enthusiastic parents, the snow can provide a lot of fun. Building snowmans, forts, snowball fights, sledding, snow angels theres endless you can do honestly and most of it won't be available until next winter.

4. No school. No work.

This may not apply to everyone but everyone does know that there's always the opportunity to stay at home and have an off day if there's snow. Blizzard on its way? Can't take your car. Storm's coming? Can't take public transportation. Streets are filled? Can't go and walk. Woke up late? Everything's cancelled. I would say this is a definite plus. And even if you do end up at work or school - there's so little people or activity its kind of off day. Great benefits no matter what.

5.  Cheap stuff = better economy. 

When there's a snow blow out around your area, there's less activity therefore prices go down for a lot of things which means you can go and get stuff for a much lower price than you would on a normal day. Lots of people take advantage of this and you can too if you don't mind going out.


Here's my list! Anything I'm missing? How's your time with the snow? Let me know down below in the comments and remember to follow for great posts on dealing with cold weather.

Perfection's way.

Lately, there's been around 40 degree weather chilling and although that's still enough to carry a jacket it's a whole lot warmer than we've been used to. Does 40 degree weather excite us for weather that will not be here until the next 3 months? Or is it mother nature playing a cruel trick and make people hate the chills?

Not going to lie this is my idea of perfect winter:

What is your idea of a perfect winter? Let me know:)

Push Yourself.

Today is Monday. Today is raining. Today is not the day you say. But as a productive, driven person living in the never-sleeping-city, I know that the weather is no excuse not to get something done.

The winter season is known greatly just to chill out, sleep in, drink a great hot cup of your favorite liquid and take it easy. Although that is not the reality and things have to go on - besides if no one worked how are you going to get your food delivered tonight? (Gotcha.)

I can be honest and say that I have done quite a few things today and am perfectly happy with it.
With a cup of coffee, a little prayer and a driven attitude anything is possible.

What motivates you to work in tough weather? Is the winter the season of laziness? How do you push yourself? Let me know.

Start off with a white blanket!

Hey everyone! Happy new year. Perhaps I am a bit late on that holiday saying but I felt it was appropriate due to the fantastic and first of its kind this early in the year -- yes, I am talking about snow.

Everyone knows that in New York City we have snow and although meterologists have been predicting it for about a month already and nothing's happened, some have lost hope. But this morning on Instagram it was all about SNOW of course! And here one of the pictures people have put up:

And I am loving it.

Do you like snow? Hate it? Don't mind it? Have you ever seen it? Let me know!
