OUTDOOR ADVENTURE SNOW *****LIFESTYLE

HOW TO REALLY ENJOY THE WONDERFUL WINTERLAND


that is one way to look at... others might not agree. Some parts of Europe have been  hit by excessive amounts of snow up to 3M . Roads are closed , ski hills and avalanche warnings are extreme.  So well we dig out from the snow , i think about times when I lived where it was so cold snowy , i call polar conditions.
The only way to survive is keep warm , enjoy it the best you can or stay in. MY ideal winter plan is to enjoy it and do things that are fun. Bring out the XC skis,  the backpack and thermos.  Dress warm and  have FUN.

Some ways to really enjoy the winter outdoors, 

WAYS TO ENJOY WINTER OUTDOORS 
BACKYaRD FUN
Set up fire pit , roast marshmallows or frankfurters , or beans.
Bring the fire logs, and shovels, make a snow hut 
Make ice candles , line the walks with.
Best thing about this is it doesn't cost and its fun for families to do.

Even though its snowy doesn't mean you can't enjoy the moment!



 DIYs to try for winter fun.

The Swedish fire log simple and reliable . 
will burn  for hours , so you can heat up water, hot chocolate  , roast  hot dogs





A Snow HUT  Quinzhee hut or Lumitalo (Finnish)

These are used for survival reasons in the wilderness but can
be something to try  in winter.
A good way to have fun and get some exercise. Kids love to make it and play
but make sure to follow instructions and **keep an eye on
so it does not collapse .


Start early to make , shovel snow into a large mound, pack the snow with shovel , takes  branches to use a markers for wall  thickness.once high enough and the surface is packed,  begin  in one spot to make entry by carefully shovelling out snow. the  snow should not fall inside well shovel, , IF not let stand and pack snow more. the sun will also help make it more solid surface

CASUAL SUMMER LOOK//fashion , styling

 Doing Denim  I sometimes like to wear something that is just more relaxed and comfortable.  For some it might be a pair of shorts, but I like a dress. Whether long or short.  I just them more comfortable and airy on hot summer days.  Denim is one look I like . It’s a casual look that can be dressed up or down, just by changing the accessories you wear with it.  Heels or sandal. Simple jewelry, watch or bracelets.  There are so many ways to style a denim dress.  A great tote to carry the necessary items, sandals and sunglasses  I would add a nice colorful scarf for the hair or simply wear tied around the neck. 

Favorite Things 2023//fashion , items

 Favorite things  I really didn’t go overboard with any purchases in 2023.  Trying to keep to the sustainable fashion idea  of shopping my closet or using what I have .  Mind you there were somethings I thought about getting like a new pair of sunglasses, some shoes  sandals, new purse , but I still need new sunglasses. My old pair has some scratches on them sadly.  The two pieces I did get I absolutely love . Firstly a linen blend blazer in cream shade. It goes with so many things so can’t wait to spring to wear it again.  Also the new wrap dress I bought in spring.  The color I loved , the fit and style is nice to wear for dinners out, parties or weddings. A very versatile piece.   The other item was from a previous year but I had forgotten about it  was a nice surprise. I wore it over Christmas holidays. and got compliments on it . A knit top with sparkle accents.  It was so comfortable and warm . Absolutely loved it.  ...
