Top 9 ways to beat the WINTER BLUES

This past week, Winter reared it’s ugly head. Coming in full force with biting wind chills and icy streets. We at Ashley Bridget would like to share the top nine things we can’t live without this winter to get over the winter blues!

9.  Books

Curling up on a couch, preferably near a warm fire place, with a great book can really make you forget about the Snowpocalypse happening outside your window.

8.   Board games

Stay in, and play a game of Monopoly. Throw in some friends, hot chocolate or a bottle of wine, and you've got a party.

7. Ice skating

One of the few things that you can only enjoy during the cold months. Go down to your local skating rink with some friends or a significant other, and top it off with a warm cup of coffee to make for a perfect day.

6. Watch a Hockey Game

Winter means Hockey Season. Between the NHL, and the upcoming Olympics there are many opportunities to go to a hockey game or catch a game on TV from the comfort of your couch.

5. Cooking and Baking

In winter, making the trip to a nice restaurant is less than appealing. Now is the time to break out that cookbook. Cooking a nice meal, or eating some fresh baked goods will surely warm you up this winter.

4. Starbucks

Enough said.

3. Netflix

Get comfy and watch a movie. Or have a mini marathon and catch up on all of your favourite TV shows. Breaking Bad anyone?

2. Shopping

More specifically, online shopping. What could be better than browsing through the Ashley Bridget website and purchasing your favourite products: bracelets, necklaces, etc without ever having to leave the comfort of your own home?

1. Destination Vacation

If all else fails, the ultimate way to get over your winter blues is to flee to somewhere warm.
