does the cold weather have you down too?

More than anything else, I think this move to Boston has made me realize how much I dislike winter. I love the first few snowfalls, cute coats and scarves, and cuddling up by the fire with a cup of coffee, but after a month or so a bad case of seasonal affective disorder sets in! I live for warm weather and am at my best when I can where dresses and sandals, eat outside, and spend time near the water. So summer please hurry up! Here are a few things that might cheer you up (they do for me!) while you anxiously await the change of season...


1. the Matador Network, http://www.matadornetwork.com/ - the most amazing collection of blogs, forums, pictures, ideas, news, you name it; all written by and for travelers.

2. online dress shopping - a cute new dress never fails to put a smile on my face. Here are a few I'm pretty sure I can't live without.
A.L.C. Dropped Waist Silk Dress
Amanda Uprichard Joan Dress
Geren Ford Raw Edge Shift Dress
3. listening to Brett Dennen
4. working out - I always seem to put off working out in the winter but it is actully really nice to sweat when you spend most of the day freezing. Plus it will make swim suit shopping a few weeks so much more enjoyable!
5. turn up the heat and open your windows - the fresh air and breeze will make it feel like spring!
6. head to the spa! If you're like me, your skin hasn't seen sunlight in over half a year and could desperately use some help. Get a facial/massage/mani/pedi. Anything to help that near opaque skin!
7. go somewhere. I am seriously considering booking myself a caribbean cruise - you can get amazing deals, and a few days in the sun would be AMAZING. http://www.cruisedeals.com/
