Winter update 10 ideas with Tatiana Rybakovo

Winter is a time when you can hide in warm clothes and crawl under a plaid blanket with a mug of tea and a cozy TV series, but at the same time it is a period when we can help ourselves to prepare for the next season, improve our health, develop the intellect, deal with the figure and beauty.

Today I'm going to talk about what a plan of action might be, as well as how to motivate yourself and take care of yourself, given the change in climate.

1. Challenge yourself this winter.

First, let's be clear that our moods shouldn't be influenced by the weather! As a sun-loving person, I keep repeating this to myself despite the fact that the sun outside the window is sorely lacking in winter. Earlier I shared that for the fall and winter period I make lists of activities that I am interested in, and this year I also decided to make a challenge and continue to work out outside despite the weather. Playing this game with myself is a great way to diversify my weekdays.

2. Get ready to go for a walk.

From the first point you should buy thermal underwear and gloves, even those who are not going to work out outdoors, but understand the importance of breathing fresh air in the winter. Underwear will not let you get cold, and synthetic or wool blend will wick away moisture caused by active pastime. The main tip - do not be afraid to be a cabbage, and dress in layers: thermal underwear on bare body, then pants and blouses, which are responsible for thermal insulation, and then the outer clothing.

3. Buy a thermos.

The most important thing is that the body continues to get all the necessary nutrients from food and supplements, but we'll talk about that later. And during your walks you will be warmed by warm herbal tea, which is an essential element of staying healthy.

4. Make your diet nutritious.

Heavy foods, which can pull on in the cold season, is not the thing to do, although you want to please yourself, and food seems to be something most accessible. But sweets and alcohol won't do us the weather, and only worsen the microflora and can affect the figure.

In addition to complex carbohydrates as sources of energy, we should pay attention to seasonal foods (cabbage, radish, Brussels sprouts, pumpkin, beets, carrots, pomegranate, tangerines). The more diverse the sources of vitamins and minerals, the more likely your body will take in everything it needs.

Remember legumes: lentils, beans, chickpeas. Write a shopping list and add sauerkraut to it - fermented foods are great for digestion. Consider homemade jams instead of store-bought desserts. If they're made with love by your loved ones, it's doubly enjoyable.

5. Pay attention to your skin and take care of its beauty

The cold season is perfect for this, inside and out. A minimum of sunshine is the perfect time to give my skin a revitalising and regenerating boost from peels: twice a week during this time of year, I use Oriflame's AHA and BHA peels along with pomegranate enzymes to gently and effectively exfoliate away dead skin cells. Alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs): work on the top layer of epidermal cells by neutralizing the bonds between them, and beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs) penetrate the dermal layers of the skin below the epidermis. As a result, the procedure speeds up cellular metabolism, improves skin texture and makes your skin smooth and your complexion healthier.

Plus, it's also a nice evening ritual!

Apply the peeling evenly to the cleansed skin of your face and neck, avoiding the eye area, and after 20 minutes, wash it off with lukewarm water. 

Part of this peeling ritual is a drink with the effective composition "Aqua Glow" from Oriflame. The cranberries in the drink protect the skin from premature aging due to their high antioxidant content. Ceramosides™, or wheat lipids, are an ingredient that contains wheat phytoceramides, which have a molecular structure similar to skin cells. And, of course, vitamins B3 and C support the synthesis of collagen, which begins to gradually break down after 25 years. All this improves skin hydration after just 15 days of use.

6. Think of activities with friends

There's nothing better than the support of loved ones, and in winter, summer café terraces may well turn into a cozy get-together at home, where cooking together, watching movies or playing board games will come in handy. You can also plan a joint trip out of town, winter sports. This is an opportunity to have pleasant emotions and share happy moments with those who appreciate you.

7. Learn new things.

It seems to me that development has long been a part of our lives and we can't get away from the fact that the "school/university" scheme as part of education is long gone, now you always have to learn. Think about what professional skill you can pump up, for example, so that winter will be good for your career. Or what can you do for yourself during this time period - maybe take a course in emotional control or study the art lectures you acquired back in the spring?

8. Get creative.

No matter how successful you are at music, singing or painting, on
