THE GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED. THANK YOU FOR PARTICIPATING!
I don’t know about you, but this winter really kicked me in the behind. Just thinking about how ill I was last week gives me the shivers. I’ve learned better this time; next winter, I’m taking that flu shot, even if it inadvertently gives me a small cold in the process. What’s that Chinese saying again? Short pain is better than long pain? 😛
Now that winter is almost coming to an end (it’s not really ending yet, not in Melbourne anyway), I’ve come up with a little giveaway pack for you. Something relaxing to hopefully tide you over to spring when the hay fever (God forbid!) begins.
Echolife has kindly provided a couple of lavender items for the giveaway. You’ll especially like the Tisserand lavender roller ball. I’ve been using one throughout winter and it’s fab to use before sleep.

- Tisserand Lavender & Chamomile Skin Soothing Aromatherapy Roller Ball (courtesy of Echolife)
- PUKKA Night Time organic tea
- Morgan & Finch mini hot water bottle (good to use during that time of the month!)

Exfoliation! Nothing can compare to the flakiness of my dry skin during the harsh winter cold so L’Oreal’s Perfect Clean Gentle Apricot Scrub has been my lifesaver for the past couple of months! I’ve been recommending it to all my friends haha

I just try to keep warm…. My down jacket’s not exactly sexy but it’s cold here in Christchurch and I don’t care!
Layer, layer, layer! I’m not entering this – just wanna say how nice of you to do this for your readers. If it doesn’t give them the warm fuzzies, I don’t know what will. Get better soon so we can do drinkies xxx

My never ending supply of flannel pyjamas coupled with lots of hot mugs of tea 🙂
Stay hydrated, use hand sanitizer on a regular basis and invest in some scarves!!!
First of all, thank you for the giveaway! Hmm well, I don’t really have a survival tip, it’s more of a natural thing to do – layer up! I tend to wear my long johns during the nights where it is unbearable, its ugly I know, but it does its job! 🙂
oooh I LOVE giveaways and yours are always filled with quaint and cutesie looking products!
My winter survival tip?
TIM TAMS! and hot milk tea to go with it! 🙂

Melbourne’s winter is indeed cold! Brrrr… my trick to surviving it is the art of concealment! Scarves, big coat, tights/jeans, tall boots, gloves, and to warm the insides a warm cup of tea and chocolates mmmm…
thanks for the lovely giveaway. this has been the coldest winter ever and i’ve been drinking lots of warm water to keep me warm.

my winter survival tip is hot chocolate, whether I am out and about or home snuggled up on the lounge, a hot chocolate always makes the day better! thankyou for the awesome giveaway xx
I’m so going to get a flu vaccination next year too… I’ve been sick 3 times this winter…. Hope you get well soon.
Flannel pyjamas are my saviour. And lots of hot drinks…
Sufficient rest to keep the bugs at bay!
Ginger tea! Not the wussy tea bags from the shops, but a proper knob of ginger, finely sliced, steeped in boiling water. Add honey if you like, but I prefer it strong, spicy and plain!
woollen socks, long black coffees and vanilla flavoured green tea are essential for me! this winter, queensland has been unusually cold, and this holy trinity of winter warmers has helped me heaps : )
I’m currently experiencing my first winter here in South Australia and I have found that tea ( +lemon and honey), my moisturiser and an electric blanket have helped me survive so far.
My winter survival tips? A big bear hug from a loved one and lots of sunshine 🙂
I love these pictures Tine! I *LOVE* Winter, so for me it’s not a matter of surviving it, but hoping it never ends… I know I’m in the minority here 😉

My Winter survival tip is lip balm and plenty of it! My lips get really dry and will crack if I don’t smother my lips with balm throughout the day. Thanks for the lovely giveaway 🙂

Oh lovely!
My winter survival tip is to make sure you own thermals, and use them. I live in an area where it tends to snow, and our winter highs are around 7 degrees, so thermals are a must have! x

As much as i absolutely detest winter i have a few little rituals to get me through it. Super hot (yeah i know bad) showers at night then slap on copious amounts of delicious body lotions, then flannelette jim jams. Then i jump into our bed that must have flannelette sheets as they are so soft and warm. We tend to be night owls in summer but as soon as the temp drops its all about early nights and snuggling in a flannelette cocoon.

Mugs of hot water, hot showers, warm bed, warm company
An electric blanket is the only way to survive in my house. Best invention ever!
faceshop sleeping mask, lucas paw paw ointment and hot chocolate, in that order 🙂
With little bub in me now, I feel less cold. But my lips and skin has been dry these days so I will always slather lip balm and cream on my hands and feet!
After living in the heat of the Middle East for 10 years Melbourne Winters have hit hard. Over the past 4 winters I have learned 2 great things – my top tips for winter are have handcream next to the spot you keep your rings overnight – before you put your rings on put some cream on your hands and again when you take them off. Less than 30 seconds a go and will do a lot to keep your hands nice and soft. I overcame my constant excuse of “i dont have time to put hand cream on” with this idea. Secondly quality lip balms dotted over the house… at the laptop, kitchen counter, entrance hall table, your fav couch….. keep your lips nice n soft 🙂
Thank you for the giveaway!
I have so so many things in my winter arsenal, but my top tip is to boost up the moisture level in your skin care (along with moisturising from the inside out with water). Heaters and warm air con dry out the air horribly, and when you combine that with the cold and wind outside it’s the perfect recipe for dry, irritated skin.
By using a richer moisturiser, switching to a gentler cleanser and using a hydrating mask every few days, I can keep my skin happy through the cold months and be ready to face the sunshine when it decides to return.
I love taking hot baths in winter! I love to pour some oil in my bath so my skin is so moisturised after getting out!

We have down comforters and lots of tea!
Always wear socks! Whether you are at home or work warm feet are essential to counter the cold!
I always have to apply much more moisturizer so my skin doesn’t dry out.
hydrating mask at least 3 days a week! and warm packet from Daiso! paste it on the tummy and keep you warm for whole day 😀
Lots of loayers and make sure i hydrate my skin
