Surviving Winter Items


These are Items I used so far to beat off the winter. I don't have an excessive budget to just buy buy buy so I hope these items fit your pocket too:

Garnier BB Cream in Light: We have really harsh dry Winters in Gauteng that dries out my skin even though it tends to be oily PLUS it's a sunscreen. R79.99 At dis chem

Johnson and Johnson's baby oil. This one is the bed time lavender. I Mix in two drops with my normal body cream for a more moisturising effect. R23.00 At Pick &Pay

Miracle Magnesium Blue: This is one of my more expensive buy at R160 (at dis chem) but totally worth it. I get the worst chilblains on my fingers and toes and this stuff kept that all in check. I haven't had a swollen finger or toe. Okay one swollen toe but that blue stuff sorted it. It was a combo offer with oil to drink but it tastes so bad it made me want to gag.

A regular hair trim. Some people go on a beauty hiatus in winter. I still went to the salon to cut and colour my hair.

Bright nail polish: Dark heavy clothing. Dead grass. Grey trees. The easiest way to brighten up is with a pop of colour. I picked Signature’s Purple People Eater and Punky Pink (R15.00)

Hot Chocolate Lip Ice: Again Moisturising in GP Winters are heavy important. Lip balm is a must have as dry cracked lips are bad biscuits. This is such a cute flavour. Bought it for R9.95 at Pick&Pay

Leopard print blanket: It's warm, it's fuzzy, it's leopard. R139.00 at Pep. (Yes I buy there. If you want go to other shops and get charged double.)

Water: That is one thing that's forgotten between the hot chocolate and coffee. The only issue is it's sometimes too cold too pee. Soz but it's healthy,

End of last season's scarves that were on sale: Try beginning of summer sales. The shops just want to get the 'old' winter stock out. I've scored accessories for the fraction of the price. Even stuff like long sleeve tees go for almost nothing. Pictured scarf R20.00 at Pick&Pay bought in May was R40.00.

Do you have any items that make winter that little more bearable?
