Winter Checklist
Kim Serafin


1. New Coat: Loathe wearing it and leave in the closet as long as possible. Continue to wear fall jacket instead.
2. Scarf: Either too short or too long but still perfect for wearing. Indoors.
3. Lip Balm: Eggsnog from Lush from last year. A little melty from its home in pocket. Need new one?
4. Boots: More fashionable = more falls.
5. Hand Lotion: Fragranced and therefore containing skin-drying alcohol. Worth it.
6. Marshmallows: Tasty alone, disintegrate in hot chocolate—a double whammy.
7. Turtleneck Sweater: Keeps cold air out, keeps sexy neck bruises hidden from Grandma.
8. Gloves/Mittens: Do not wear unless absolutely necessary—gotta keep hands free for cigarette purposes, you know.
9. Shovel: So as to look prepared for snow—stay in bed until snow blower breaks or job is finished.
10. Sparkly Eyeshadow: Takes attention away from dry skin elsewhere.
