Staycation in the Snow

I do the Clean program every year to get back on track post-holidays. I also try to work out once a day, either with a morning hike (in my Hokas) or a Pilates class (with my go-to, Erika Bloom, on video). And then there are all those New Year’s resolutions I’m determined to keep: writing more letters, breaking for walks, and stretching my laptop-scrunched shoulders—gotta keep my posture in check.

My recent closet upgrades—swapping sweatpants for luxe knit sets, investing in a great coat and errand-ready extras—have been totally practical. So have the other changes in my life: I just set up my new water purifier. I’m easing back into cooking with the Instant Pot I got for Christmas. And I’m keeping my skin hydrated (a difficult task at elevation!) with our new face oil. I mix a few drops into my face cream—the combination is ultrahydrating.

Bluebird days can make any regular weekend feel special (and current life feel a little more fun). I’m happy to report that I’ve mastered my ski look, which is built around the right base layer: thermal leggings for truly frigid temps, cashmere-woven ones for milder days. At night, an extra-hot shower—plus some tunes to wind down with—feels especially good after a full day of racing down groomers.
