*Build a snowman or snow fort
When the snowy weather hits, there are always traditional things you and your family might want to do; build snowmen, drink hot cocoa, make snow cream, and even build a snow fort.
—— CARE FOR YOUR SKIN
1. Keep Moisture In The Air
To prevent dryness, use a humidifier and drink an extra glass or two of water.
2. Use Gentler Products
You want something that’s very moisturizing and does not strip moisture away from the skin like Dove’s Foaming Body Wash https://www....ody-wash.html
3. Avoid Hot Showers And Baths
4. Upgrade Your Moisturizer, And Use It Often
Application of a very thick moisturizer as soon as you get out of the bath or shower and then one more time per day will help keep your skin feeling nice and smooth.
5. Exfoliate Less
Especially if your skin is really dry.

—— SPEND TIME WITH THE KIDS
*Our painting classes are also offered for the littles ones! From ‘Little Brushes’ classes where it’s just for the kids, to ‘family Days’ where the whole crew can come in and paint together, we like to keep the younger crowd in mind, too!
Not only do we offer public classes where the kids can come in and express their creativity on canvas, but you can keep our private parties in mind as well. You can hold your little one’s next bday at our studio and all of their friends can come in to paint along with them!

* Yoga For Winter Wellness (Chicago) Feb. 9
Drinking hot tea and sitting next to a fire isn’t the only way to build
heat this winter. Specific breath work and yoga postures can also activate
your internal fire to energize and invigorate the body. When the body is
organically warmed with movement, you will feel soft and open to receive.

—— INDULGE IN COMFORT
This is the time of year when we want to get all warm and snuggly and go into hibernation mode; We want warm soups and drinks to sip, soft blankets to wrap up in, and maybe some movies or shows at home with the family… And that’s just fine!
There’s nothing wrong with taking some time for yourself to relax and unwind as you go easy with a day or night in this time of year.
From excellent movies in the theaters and some fantastic shows on popular streaming networks, you’ll be all set in that department!
* If you’re looking to get crafty while staying inside, we’ve got some upcoming classes that will contribute to your comfortable nights:
-- Feb. 12th - DIY Chunky Knit Blankets

* Warm and comforting meals are a huge hit this time of year. There’s nothing like some soup or chowder cooking in the crockpot all day and sitting down to enjoy it while the chilly air stays outside. From cocoa and coffee, to hot sandwiches, pasta bakes, and more, there’re lots of excellent recipes that you and your family will love!
