Good morning. This is Laura.

Welcome to the Before Breakfast podcast.

Today's tip is that you don't have to be cold.

If you are cold-natured, you can plan ahead to figure out ways to stay warm during winter,

or for that matter, in aggressively air-conditioned places during summer.

There is no need to suffer unnecessarily.

I am doing this episode because, as people who know me in person, are well aware, I am constantly

cold. That can make winter a pretty miserable experience.

But the good news is that I know myself well enough to know that I am likely to be cold,

and so I take steps to mitigate this problem.

As we are coming into a colder season, for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere at least,

if you also get cold all the

time, you might like to use a few of these strategies too. For starters, every season, I always have a

cardigan or jacket with me. It is easy enough to stick a light cardigan in my purse or even just in my car,

and this means that even in summer, I am never caught off guard by a cool night or meet locker

temperature hotel ballroom. I also realize that it's my feet getting cold that really makes me icy, so I bring socks, too.

I never board a plane without socks in my purse, because even if it is 90 degrees in one location,

and you are flying to somewhere else that is 90 degrees, the plane might still be chilly. You just don't know. I've also been known to plan

my wardrobe to account for the reality of cold spaces. Black pants and stylish boots still look

nice, but won't leave my legs and feet freezing, like a dress and sandals, or even just regular heels.
