Staying Warm

I feel rather Hobbit-ish though.

 We've been having real winter weather here for the last week, with temperatures of about -20 typical of our days, going even colder at night.
My absolute best tip for surviving a cold winter?  These Glerup wool shoes for wearing indoors.  I can't believe how nice they are.  I bought this pair, the Glerup "shoe", a couple of months ago and I love putting them on as soon as I return home.  They are so warm, yet breathable, and the soles don't slip while I'm running around the house.
The wool is felted and so it's very thick, and they are made in Denmark using a combination of Gotland and New Zealand wools.
You can find them at this Canadian website (although I did first see them on the LLBean site, where they were quite a bit more expensive, especially factoring in exchange, duties and taxes).
This, like all my posts, is not sponsored, I just had to mention them as a public service! ( I also want my Middle Rascal to go to the link so I can buy her a pair for wearing around her graduate residence, go have a look Sweetie.)

Coats, well this is another issue entirely.  I really should invest the money in one of those awesome technical parkas like a Canada Goose (which is what Middle Rascal wears) or a Moose Knuckles (Ole Rascal just bought himself one of those, very sharp).  Just yesterday we bought a North Face parka for Lil Rascal.
I just can't do it for myself though, I really love coats in wool and bright colours, pairing them with black outfits accessorized with scarves... so I do a lot of layering.  Two sweaters at the minimum, heavy socks, a silk scarf covered with a wool or cashmere scarf, wool berets and lined gloves.

Brora and Boden coats.

 Winter is also not the time to worry about being skinny, it's the time to eat lots of good fats and vegetables.

This was my lunch on one of the coldest days this week: sautéed spinach with new potatoes and a whole avocado, sliced and covered with lemon juice and hemp hearts.

It's meant to warm up today, to a balmy -8!
How have you been dealing with the cold winter?  And if you're in the Southern Hemisphere, please do tell, is it already getting quite warm?  Are you expected to have a very hot summer this year?
Wow, I feel like a typical Canadian, obsessing over the weather.
Stay warm, or cool, depending,
