Why Getting Ready in Winter Sucks

If you like winter, kudos to you.

I, on the other hand find it very difficult to even function during the cold, wet and windy season #bringbacksummer. Just watch the video above, I’m sure you’ll relate to at least one of my pet peeves about the season.

Or if you’re more of a glass-half-full kind of person, I’ve managed to muster up a few positives to an otherwise detestable time of year...

#1 You don’t have to paint your toenails

Closed-toe shoes for the win! And if you’re really lazy when it comes to DIY mani-pedis, you can always just wear gloves and never paint your fingers either.

#2 Or shave your legs

Nobody has to know you’re hiding a shag rug underneath your jeans. Plus it adds an extra layer of warmth.

#3 Your handbag products won’t melt

This is especially good considering the amount of lip balms you carry to ward off chapped lips.

#4 It is socially acceptable to have a coffee/tea in your hand at all times

Caffeine for president.

Are you a winter lover or a winter hater? What’s your favourite or least favourite thing about the season?

I absolutely detest winter. It’s September now, which means it’s SPRING! Woohoo!

Don't have to shave my legs is the best part.

And the shaving one! Never thought of it that way!

The handbag melting on is so accurate!

No, not a Winter fan at all! It's hard getting dressed when it's so cold in the mornings. Also, lost that Summer glow :(

I love my electric heated rug in winter. trouble is it is hard to get up in the morning , I just want to curl up around my bed . As soon as I come home I want to reach out for the electric rug once again

Hahah sigh! Missing a real winter! Cairns is lovely but I haven't had to cover my feet or legs at any stage this winter! At the most a little cardie or long sleeved top/ dress Haha

I still shave my legs in Winter.

I don't like winter or summer so I'll take a nice spring or Autumn day anytime.

I love Winter! It's my favourite time to rug up and give myself a break from all that makeup I wear to work!

Have hardly had winter in SE Qld, 18 overnight last night and meant to be 25 today...

I always shave my legs whether it’s winter or not

It's soup season for me, burning of endless candles and long hot baths. :)

It is so hard to get ready in winter. I always seem to get sick with the change of season.

Winter is the best for hot drinks, especially green tea!

There is only one thing I dislike about winter: having to walk out of places because they've got their infernal heater set to the temperature of lava! Sometimes I have to get off the bus & catch the one after it because the heaters are so unbearably hot.

Snailor 5 Jul 2018 11:57 PM

Ahhh...the extra layer of warmth during winter...also known as I went 3 months without shaving, haha!

freaky 5 Jul 2018 11:25 PM

Love that video! I can sooo relate!

Tigerlily 5 Jul 2018 10:18 PM

I’m definitely a warmer weather kind of gal though our summers are getting pretty stifling of late...

Temporary Princess 5 Jul 2018 9:46 PM

It's more that I have to prepare for the weather by making sure I don't reach for pigmented lipsticks and use matte liquid lipsticks instead!

Popsicle 5 Jul 2018 9:44 PM

Can totally relate! My painted toenails half grown out . . Ewww

womble 5 Jul 2018 9:05 PM

Yes can relate! I'm a winter hater. Getting changed is the worst. Also when you get your sleeves wet cos you forgot to roll them up when washing your hands. OMG the worst!!!

Karma Llama 5 Jul 2018 8:32 PM

I hate having walking inside from the cold wrapped in all my layers, and then breaking out into a sweat. I have to use heavy deodorant all year round for this reason.

Gilded 5 Jul 2018 5:50 PM

Winter in Sydney is not worth it because we suffer through the cold but never get rewarded with snow. What a downer. I survive by guzzling pipping hot tea all day.
