If you ask anyone close to me, "Who does not like winter the most?" He'll point his finger instantly and without thinking toward me. Yes, he does not lie, it was true until last year, before a friend of mine told me of seven reasons why I fell in love with winter. But before I talk to you about it, let me first explain to you the reasons why I did not love winter in the past ...
Fustany Talks: My Secret Skincare Routine That I'll Never Stop Doing
Why don't I like winter?
I remember as a kid and when I went to school, I had an extra heavyweight padded jeans jacket. And my mother insisted that I wear it to protect me from the cold weather. But I felt like a polar bear, and couldn't move in any way. When she protested more than once, she gave in, but there was another surprise from her. She put me in several layers of clothing, with a relatively light school jacket over them. I would grumble and cry and come back every day, not wearing the jacket and carrying it in my bag. And of course, I receive reprimand and threats that if I do it again I will be punished. Hence my aversion to winter began. I don't like layers of clothing, and I don't like feeling more weighty. What should I do with myself, when I feel that I cannot carry my body. And it lasted like that even when I grew up, around me wearing many layers of clothes and I would settle for one or two, and of course you now have a visualization of how the winter months go by on me. Light clothing, meaning extreme cold, means frequent flu infections.

That was the case, until a friend of mine told me last year that even if I had only one reason not to love winter, there are weakening it that makes me fall in love with it. I remember her eyes were filled with passion at the time as she spoke of her love for this season of the year. And that the reasons for his love could make me overlook the cold, the flu and more. And I do not hide from you, she was right. The passion that she spoke about was enough for me to fall in love with this class too, regardless of anything else.
7 reasons why I love winter despite the cold weather
1. Hot chocolate! There is no need to be surprised, in the summer we are not able to drink hot drinks that we love, such as hot chocolate, orchid and others due to the high temperature of the weather. But comes our chance to enjoy it in the summer season.

2. Hair free from moisture. I remember all summer long I struggled with my hair, the dampness and sweating which made it look pretty bad. In contrast to the winter, which is regaining its glory again.
3. An acceptable apology for weddings. No need to laugh, if you are like me and feel that weddings are a very stressful occasion and you always have no escape from them. In winter comes your chance. So there is always a reason such as the cold weather, the rain, the flu, there is always a reason.
4. Make-up in better condition. In winter, eyeliner will not run over your eyes, and foundation will not look bad on your face due to sweating. On the contrary, you will find the makeup look more beautiful.
5. Sleep! I suffer all summer when I sleep. Either the heat bother me, or the air conditioner bothered me. I stay like that all night. As for winter, sleep is really wonderful and there is no dispute over it. It is enough to put yourself in soft pajamas and then under a heavy mattress.

6. Walking in the rain. This sentence may sound a lot traditional, but it really is the best thing about winter. This is the moment when we feel like we're still kids, and enjoy these simple, cheerful things.
7. Less crowding! I think what makes me crazy most about summer is the crowded traffic all day and night. For a moment, I feel that everyone around me is not going home. Unlike the winter when everyone rushes to go home warm. Here, we can enjoy walking and hiking as we like.
These are the reasons my friend told me, and why I too fall in love with winter except that I hate the cold and wearing heavy clothes. But there are always good things even about the things we don't like. This is life, enjoy everything in it.
