It’s cold then hot. Then like cold as F.

Who can keep up? Well, here are my essentials for these crazy weather/global warming AF days.

1. FUR I’m a major fur girl, both faux and real. Whether the temps are glacial or just a bit nippy, I keep something fuzzy on deck. I’ll layer a denim jacket or lightweight trench under my Grandma’s rust-colored mink cape or break out the full-fledged fox when it’s cold enough. I even decorate my home with faux fur accents. Restoration Hardware has a series of pillows, blankets, slippers and more that is cash money.
2. EIGHT I know I’ve already covered the greatness of Elizabeth Arden’s 8 Hr Cream but it’s that damn good! I have a tube at my desk and a tube at home just to avoid any meltdowns. It is crazy thick but has crazy sink-in power. Just trust me and slather it everywhere.
3. ISTONERS I got the funniest compliment last week- “I see you with the fur and the Nike Isotoners!” My bro-in-law gifted me with classic black Nike gloves a few years ago and over time they have evolved from running to everyday. They’re slim but relatively warm and look fly juxtaposed with non-active outfits.
4. SPIN I was a spinning psycho in NYC- me + Flywheel’s Jesse Anderson= most Mondays at 6 am. Leaving that crazy world of Manhattan fitness was rough but I have found my new spin spot, Cyclebar. This past Sunday was insanely frigid but sweating like mad in a steamy room was cathartic. First class is free at CB this month!
5. LIGHT Like the rest of the human race, I saw Moonlight last month and melted into the core of the earth. Along with stalking the entire cast on IG, I listen to the soundtrack almost daily. It is so achingly beautiful, I re-live the pain and awe of watching Little/Chiron/Black with every track.

Voile, my essentials to surviving and thriving this winter. +++
