Winter Break Bucket List: 10 Cosas que hacer en las vacaciones de invierno.

¡Vamos con el último post del ciclo! Parece que ayer estábamos preparando el comienzo del curso, y ya estamos a las puertas del invierno! Hoy venimos con una bucket list, es decir, una lista de 10 ideas para las vacaciones de invierno, #WinterBreak, en inglés. Aunque seguro que ya tienes muchas cosas que hacer, aquí va nuestras recomendaciones para aprovechar esos días libres al máximo y no perder el inglés de vista:

1. Relax. Take a break from all the stress you are under every day. Taking a day for yourself is good for your mental, emotional health, and will help you face the next season with full energy.
2. Have a meaningful conversation. Winter break is perfect to review what you have done in the first term of the year and set priorities for the following months. Talking about this with somebody mature, like a parent, a responsible friend or a trusted teacher that knows you can clear things up for you and your goals.
3. Make a winter recipe. Get cozy during your break but feel productive. Learning something new, like a winter recipe is both rewarding and fun. Our ideas: chocolate chip cookies, versions of hot cocoa or apple cider.
4. Declutter. AKA, get rid of stuff. It's the best moment to throw old clothes away, checking what you already have for the winter and find the perfect place for everything.
5. Create a list for the next sales. If you have finished point 4, you already know what you have and what you'll need. It's the perfect time to create a list with things you need to get ahold of. Next sales are soon, but stick to the list and budget or you'll end up spending way too much!
6. Read a book. Yes, we know they tell you this  a l l  t h e  t i m e , and that's because getting into an imaginary world is  a m a z i n g. Choose a genre you enjoy: the most romantic story, a mistery you can't put down, a fantasy to let your imagination fly... Your pick.
7. Go ice-skating. it's highly likely your city has an ice rink! Ice-skating is good fun, you can go with a bunch of people, fall (and laugh at each other), do some exercise and take selfies, which takes you to the next idea.
8. Have a winter-themed photoshoot. Go to the woods, to a lake, or downtown, wear some cozy beanies and a sweater, make fire, find some lights... Taking pictures with your friends or family is spending good quality time with them. Plus, you'll have beautiful memories with them and tons of pics to upload to Instagram!
9. Do a movie day or binge watch a series. Same with a book, pick a genre: romantic movies and mani-pedi session, scary movies and popcorn, superhero movies and Mexican food (we love this option)... The possibilites are endless and you'll have a mental break from the real world.
10. Create a music playlist. Or, actually, two. Create a playlist for the holidays to walk around the city as if you were the star of a music video and create another one for those mornings when you need something more than coffee to wake up.
