FOR ALL THE PEOPLE WHO LOVE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE WEATHER…

I know. It's cold. Chilly. Sniffly. Suddenly for about a week or two. I stand too long in front of the closet in the morning, then come to the conclusion that I have no nice warm clothes and then, lacking better options, I fish out a summer look from the closet, only to be shocked when I pull open the front door.

Winter, I don't like it at all. But you know, I just realized that cold actually has some advantages.

– First of all: everything related to bikini body stuff is off the table. We eat melted CHEESE. And A LOT. Check out Simone's tastiest melty cheese recipes for a moment, then you'll know exactly what we're talking about.

– It's permissible to wear layer upon layer upon layer during winter. Preferably soft, fluffy layers too. Technically, you're just being cuddled all day long. And those UGGs can definitely come out of the closet again…
– Those hairy little legs can stay twice as hairy. That saves a ton of time in the shower, right? The rule: only when you really start to feel like a monkey or get a nagging partner, do you come near that razor again.

– That cup of ginger tea suddenly tastes much better when your butt is freezing off outside. And what about hot chocolate? Glühwein? Oh wait, cold is GREAT.

– And you can't really enjoy a warm fireplace in the summer, can you?

– Something about totally permissible Netflix & chill marathons. And exactly the chill that Elke was already talking about here, you dirty mind.

– And last but not least: the hot tub season is open. Think about that before you start complaining about the weather again. Or as our Elsa would say: the cold never bothered me anyway.
