Last night, millions of Glee fans watched as the cast closed with one of our favorite tunes –  Florence + Machine’s  “The Dog Days are Over!” Of course, with December approaching, most of us don’t need a reminder that summer is long gone.

As the weather gets colder, there’s two traps that we can easily to fall into.  The first is wardrobe-change denial, which can lead to colds and the flu.  (Yes, flip-flops are comfy and convenient, and we all look fabulous in our sundresses but not when the temperature barely hits 40!)

Secondly, this “winter wonderland” can quickly turn into the deep, dark doldrums as the days grow shorter, leading to laziness and lethargy.

There’s a simple solution that will kill two snowmen with one snowball. Stick to your daily regime!  Do the same things you did in the summer and the fall to begin each day and keep you in the groove.

We prepare to fight Jack Frost – no matter the wind chill factor – by keeping the fun and effective routine of playing one of our favorite songs as we slip on our Climatesmart V-Neck for our daily walk or put on our comfy leggings and read the latest Twitter updates with morning coffee.  We promise that  if you take our advice, you’ll be tweeting about how great you feel every day….no matter what the season!

With budding trees and blooming flowers, spring is a beautiful time to go camping. But as you indulge in spring fever, remember that even if it’s sunny and 70 degrees during the day, temps will likely dip to the 50s or even 40s at night. Unless you plan to sit around the campfire eating s’mores ‘til the sun comes up, you’ll need to layer on warmth—luckily that doesn’t mean you need to grab a pack of that dorky thermal underwear at the camping store.

Cuddl Duds are the perfect early spring camping base layer. Pack two sets with you so you’ll have one for sleeping and one for activities. Before you snuggle into your sleeping bag for the night, slip into a set of Climatesmart Cuddl Duds. If it’s really cold, you can layer a hoodie or sweatpants over top, too.

When you wake up and want to go for pre-breakfast hike, the Activewear Lightweight collection is the right way to go. Layer a fleece or puffy vest over a long sleeve Cuddl Duds top. If you luck out with good weather, you’ll be able to ditch your Cuddl Duds for most of the day for tees and tanks, but when the sun sets, we bet you’ll want those warm layers again!
