Winter has arrived! And as joyful as it is that we fashionistas can finally embrace layering, the cold weather can be tough when you don't have a designated 'cuddle buddy'.
It's hard to stay positive and remember all the great things about the #singlelife when all your friends are staying in with their partners and you're left to fend for yourself in the cold harsh winter (us... dramatic? NAH!).
The following are nine things we single pringles can do to ensure we get through winter... because unfortunately hibernating is not an option.
1. Buy your wine in bulk
The only thing worse than sitting on the couch solo, shivering while you watch the latest episode of GOT, is sitting on that couch without a glass of Pinot Noir in hand. Make sure you have plenty of wine to warm up your cold heart through the cold winter nights by buying your booze in bulk.
2. Invest in a body pillow
Get yourself a body pillow, or uhm... "boyfriend pillow" (maybe you can get your hands on one with Ryan Gosling's face?) to spoon and cuddle at night.
We also advise a really cosy dressing gown... or snuggie if you dare. There's no one to judge your after all.
3. Sign up to a gym
OKAY just hear us out! During summer it's really easy to keep active but when the cold weather arrives even getting out of bed can be a feat. To keep yourself mentally sane and relieve frustration, warm up and ensure your body is toned AF come summer, keep yourself busy during long winter nights by signing up to the gym.
4. Learn to cook
When it's cold and dark by 5.00pm there isn't much desire to be gallivanting about town, what better time to finally practice all those delicious recipes you've been bookmarking?
5. Get a furry friend
Unconditional love, companionship and a little heater to snuggle? Just like a boyfriend without all the heartbreak and drama – YES PLEASE!
6. Keep warm
Getting into a cold bed is probably one of the worst feelings in the world, once you finally heat up, you lie there trying not to move incase you touch a cold spot. Seriously babe, you need an electrical blanket in your life. SERIOUSLY...
7. Indulge in bubble baths... every night
Just add Netflix, wine and why not even snacks, and you're set for a relaxing evening!
8. Have something to look forward to
Plan an overseas holiday or a road trip with friends when summer comes back around. This way you will have something to focus on and look forward to.
9. Do something spontaneous that you'd never do
The best thing about being single is that the only person you have to please is yourself! So, why not do something spontaneous - and a little selfish - this winter and revel in your single status. Whether that's a spontaneous activity, extravagant splurge or a last minute holiday to Europe (only recommended if you can actually afford it).
Despite the fact that being single can become lonely, it really is one of the only times in life you can solely focus on you. Use these tips to get you through the cuddle weather, focus on your own happiness and just 'do you' babe!
