The North Face Sunscreen, Water Bottle, and Hat Giveaway!

Posted by WinterWomen on Monday, July 23, 2012

As we roast in the heat during this unusually hot and dry summer, we're all doing our best to stay cool- like blasting the AC in our cars on the way home after work, and keeping the shades drawn during the day to prevent our homes and offices from becoming a sauna.

Normally we're posting about staying active during the winter months, when freezing temps and treacherous road conditions give us all the excuse we need for a day on the couch. Summer can be tricky though. Movie releases and mid-day cat naps are just waiting to pounce on anyone bored enough to give them a second ...

Protect Yourself and Your Health with Sunscreen

Protect Yourself and Your Health with Sunscreen

Posted by WinterWomen on Friday, May 4, 2012

From the minute we step outside in the sun as as child, it gets imbedded in our mind that sunscreen is important. As babies, our mothers slather sunscreen on our faces and put big, soft hats on our head. When we're older, we don't step outside to play at the playground or swim at the pool without the coconut-smell of sunscreen all over our face, shoulders, arms, and legs. Eventually, as we mature ...

Winter is now officially over, although many of you have probably felt that way for some time now. Undoubtedly this winter will go down in the books as one of the strangest, warmest, and least snowy in history.  We’ve past the point of hoping for late season snow, and cities all over the U.S. are hitting 70 and 80 degrees.All is not lost, however, as the end of one season brings the beginnings of ...

Posted by WinterWomen on Wednesday, February 22, 2012

For many women, shopping for stylish clothes that fit well is a chore at best and a nightmare at worst. Women come in many shapes and sizes, and not every style is right for every body.As a customer service representative, I get a fair number of calls from self-described “curvy” women who have trouble finding the right outerwear. Confession time: I’m curvy as well.  I wear a size 12/14. I can ...

Have you noticed the commercials for Columbia’s Omni-Heat technology recently on TV? The commercials usually feature a scantily clad person doing crazy things, like making snow angels in subzero temperatures in their underwear. Then they throw on their Columbia Jacket with Omni-Heat technology and say, “It’s always warm inside Omni-Heat!” If you’re like me, you’ve probably been wondering how ...

Staff Picks: Favorite Ski Jackets of 2012

Posted by WinterWomen on Wednesday, January 25, 2012

The temperatures have dropped below 40, the rain has turned to snow, and your snow tires are finally coming to use. It'd mid-January, and winter is in full swing. At this point in the season, it's not important whether or not you've made it up to go skiing yet (if you're hesitant in these types of conditions, it's 100% okay to stay at home instead of going). What does matter, though, is if you're ...
