While it might be summertime for Callie on her holiday and the rest of the Stardoll Staff in Sweden, it's deepest winter on the other side of the world where I live! If you're working on fighting the cold like me, try out these tips to make the most of the season.

Keeping Warm
Not only is being cold uncomfortable, it can also harm your health! Damp cold is particularly bad, as it can promote mould growth - and that's harmful to your respiratory tract if you are inhaling it. To fight this it's important to keep your environment warm. Use an energy saving heater and dehumidify your space regularly if you can! Apart from that, just keep wrapped up with plenty of layers and blankets - I find that I need a good pair of gloves to keep my fingers warm enough.

Comfort Food
Traditional comfort foods like pasta, soup, and mashed potatos are popular for a reason! A warm and nutritious meal will really help you heat up and have enough energy to help your body beat the cold. My favourites are a tasty vegan mac n' cheese or a warm roasted vegetable salad - delicious!

See Your Friends!
It's so tempting to just stay inside when it's cold, but don't fall into the trap! Seeing friends will seriously help you feel better - and can make your winter way more fun. Why not plan something fun (and warm) to do with your friends? You could have a make your own pizza night (get an adult to help) or get together with all your friends for a night filled with all your fave movies.
