Hey guys! So there's been some really solid tips posts circulating to help people prepare for the big winter storm coming in this weekend. I have wanted to share them for my followers, but I'm in a small pickle: My tumblr has been strictly PG since its inception and said posts contain some swears. I want to help without breaking this standard.

SO, my solution is I will share links to the three big posts that have been crossing my dash! If you are worried about the bad weather and want to be prepared, here are three great posts (some with multiple contributors) that can help you prepare and get through it safely!

Old and New Advice From Canadians (and Others)

Tips From a Southerner (and Guides for Dressing Warm and Detecting Hypothermia)

Miscellaneous Great Tips (Including Prepping Your House)

Anyway.......I hope you're doing well! I just thought I'd give a little life update considering I've been a bit MIA and wanted to share a bit with you! Ok so.... I’ve recently been diagnosed with severe primary Raynaud’s Phenomenon. Now! it isn’t life-threatening! It's a circulation issue which means it just makes me sensitive to the cold/temperature changes.

For example everyone's different but for me this means my hands and feet stay cold all the time and change color in my case it starts off as white fingers(or toes)and blue hands, to purple, sometimes gray, and then red when warming up which really burns 😭. And quite often my lips go purple when I get cold even if it's not. When I'm cold it also causes numbness, pain, and stiffness, and unfortunately even small temperature changes can trigger severe symptoms. For instance, handling items from the freezer or using cold water to wash my hands for 20 seconds can cause my fingers to turn white and become really painful and numb. I often experience shivering and my teeth chatter so bad even when it's only slightly cold, like during a cool walk or when I have to go outside in cooler weather or even in the damn cinema!

On top of Raynaud’s, I also have been diagnosed with extreme cold sensitivity. This means I'm freezing even when the weather is relatively warm. For example, I’ve found myself shivering under air conditioning or feeling chilly in warm ocean water, if I remove one layer of warmer clothing I get damn goosebumps!!!! I'm layering up like 3-4 layers with gloves to go to the shops 😭😭. And winter is especially tough; just walking into a cooler building can make me start shivering and chattering and flare up all my Raynaud’s symptoms so imagine when I'm outside 😭. I literally spend my life in front of a heater in multiple layers and a hot water bottle 😭😭

So! Sorry if this is rambling but I was wandering if anyone has tips or suggestions to stay warm. Like even anything you do when your cold or something. ANYTHING! I'm literally shivering all the time so anything helps!!

Sorry if this is TMI!

Love you all (bonus points if you write a Elvis story about this.....😉😘)

Also one last thing before I shut up...I know I overuse this emoji 😭...but...please don't come after me. 😘
