To say it's cold out there today would be an understatement ... it's downright dangerous! Some schools and businesses are closed today, so I say hunker down and stay indoors. Put on a fire, some warm clothes and take advantage of your extended weekend with one of the following fun activities ...
• Make a big pot of chili and let it simmer until dinner. I love this recipe from Smitten Kitchen, which I always add more spice to.
• Finally take the time to perfect that pastry you've always wanted to try. I love french macarons, and they sure do take patience, but I received this for xmas which should make it a much less stressful process.
• I can never bring myself to toss my finished candles in the trash ... there's precious remnants of (expensive) wax in there! I found this tutorial for a layered candle with those leftovers (genius!).
• Why not make a little spa day out of this snow day? I like to start with a facial steam. Heat a pot of water on the stove (add a camomile teabag for a little aroma therapy), lean over the pot and drape a small towel over your head for about 5-10 minutes. Next apply a mask, and finish with a rich moisturizer.
