Hooray for winter

I recently saw an article in The Times entitled 26 reasons to be glad its autumn and far be it for me to criticise, but some of their 'reasons' struck me as a little lame - all apart form the black tights, really - I mean "N is for Nail Polish"! Honestly,any self-respecting female driver out there knows nail polish is for Christmas Day, birthdays and weddings only, so it is not, by rights, an autumn thing at all.

And with this in mind, here at CoverGirl we had a quick think about 'winter wonders' and came up with our top five cold weather treats (we don't have quite as much time to spare as the Times' journalist - we're busy with cheap women's car insurance, naturally).

Wintery reasons to be cheerful
5. TV scheduling - We don't care which camp you're in, but Strictly Come Dancing and X-Factor are a Godsend for those dreary winter weekends when you can't be bothered to fight through the rain to go to the pub, club or cinema. And if you do go out - you can always watch the dancing/singing hopefuls strut their stuff again, at your leisure, on a PC.

4. No more fake tanning - Ok, so it almost goes hand in hand with the black tights issue, but summer mornings are blighted with daily applications of your 'hint of a tan' generic moisturiser, so winter comes as welcome relief as it's officially good to be pale in November.

3. Candles - Copious candlelight every night is good for warmth and cosiness in the CoverGirl compendium of winter wants.

2. Long hot bubble baths - with candles, of course - need we say more.

1. Hot chocolate with whipped cream and chocolate sprinkles - ooh er! And with winter food and drink treats firmly in mind, thank goodness also for baggy jeans and big check shirts to cover the cold weather pounds you might just put on.

Yes, Hooray for Winter and all its joy.
