THE GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED. THANK YOU FOR PARTICIPATING!
Okay I know that it’s stinking hot in the Northern hemisphere now but where I am Down Under, geez Louise, it’s cold. It’s typical winter weather we’ve been having now and all I want to do is stay in bed under the warm doona! For those of you in Australia and New Zealand, you know what I mean, right?
With the wintry weather comes the heater, and that means very dry and warm air that can do havoc to our skin. Winter is the time when I amp up my skincare level to “ultimate hydration” with lots of hyaluronic acid serums and face oils. I’ve been incorporating a few drops of face oil to my night cream every night and even though my face looks like a greasy pot, it’s soft and smooth the next morning. Totally worth the grease and shine, I tell ya!
Since we’re in the wintry months, I thought I’d give away a winter comfort pack that I’ve put together for one lucky reader. This giveaway is for Australian and New Zealand readers only this time because we need all the comfort and warmth we can get! π
Wooden box is not included. Photography purposes only. Ahem.
I’ve teamed up with the lovely people at Burt’s Bees to provide a lovely pack of their Intense Hydration range to give you that hydration you’ll need to combat the dry air from all that heating. You’ll get a Cream Cleanser, Day Lotion, Night Cream, Eye Cream and a Treatment Mask, all formulated to give your skin an added boost of hydration.
The nice folks at Revo Lipbalms have also kindly provided a few of their lip balms in the winter comfort pack. If you’re familiar with EOS lip balms, you’ll find these awfully similar. Gotta keep those dry and cracked lips at bay!
A winter comfort pack isn’t just about skincare, so I’ve added a few items into the pack as well for your comfort. You’ll find a pair of snuggly woolly socks, a scented eye pillow (this is my favourite!) and sachets of tea and hot chocolate to keep your belly warm. Oh, and Tim Tams! My winter is not complete without Tim Tams. π

Definitely hot chocolate under a warm blanket… or a nice warm bubble bath after a stressful day at work.
Glintwein (hot wine with spices). It warms all the way through π
Ummmmm, should I be admitting this?? I love to have an early warm shower and getting dressed in my flanalette pjs around 4:30 pm in the afternoon, praying that I don’t get any surprise visitors! Then a nice mug of hot chocolate with marshmallows to warm me up π
hot chamomile tea and electric blanket for me π
Electric blankets are amazing!! I also love tea, soup and cuddles.

Chewy caramel Tim Tams slammed in hot chocolate. Ooey, gooey, chocolatey goodness. Plus a pair of thick fluffy socks and a doona.
Harney’s Vanilla Comoro tea (caffeine free too so amazing for cold nights) and cuddles with my Ragdoll kitten <3
Mine would be curling up with a hot cup of herb tea (thermos works too!) with some very wooly socks, trackies and hoodie. A good read makes it the cherry on top π
My fave is snuggling under a woollen blanket, my cat on my lap, a cup of hot green tea and a good book. Lovely!
TIMTAMS. yum. and snuggly socks are so good for winter. too bad it’s hilariously hot in dubai.

Down here in Tasmania I snuggle up on the couch in front of the wood heater with chocolate self saucing pudding and a classic movie.
I see your hot chocolate and raise you a Chili Hot Chocolate! Nothing like a bit of spice to warm up with. Ahem.
And speaking of spice – a warm body to snuggle under the duvet with – unfortunately he’s usually busy being all responsible and Med Student like, so I have to forgo the warm body – hence NEEDING the winter comfort pack π
Hot drinks – coffee, tea, chocolate π
Mine is definitely my flannelette pjs with my electric blanket cranking. A hot cup of tea always helps too π
Comfy clothes, dressing gown and slippers. And cuddles with my kitties and a cup of tea =)

I like to sit in front of my fireplace with my two staffies who act as my hot water bottles with their warm bellies! A great book completes this picture!
Uggs and cups of tea under my electric throw!
Wheat eye mask that i can heat in microwave for my puffy eyes or use for stomach ache, electric blanket, flannelette bed sheets and chocolate puddle pudding. I usually do a big dish as usually my relatives always somehow appear whenever I make it and its a substitute for chocolat fondant. More I heat it in microwave, the sauce disappears and becomes like a flourless chocolate cake texture π
I must have my electric blanky and a cup of hot chocolate. A good flask of herbal tea when I’m outdoor. Facial oil with moisture cream, masks and a good night cream…and of course plenty of cuddles π
When my little 4 year old man jumps in bed with me on cold winters morning and gives me cuddles! He is my human hot water bottle π¦π½
A cup of tea, Teddy Bear biscuits and a cuddle on the couch. I feel warmer already!
Getting my feet massaged by my beloved while watching TV in a candle lit lounge room is the nicest feeling in winter.
1)Candles
2)Woolly socks
3) hot tea
4)warm electric blanket
In that order are my winter indulgence!
For me it’s a nice hot chocolate (sometimes I add a little cinnamon/mint) and a snuggle with my babies in the family bed.
The ultimate comfort in winter is a snuggly sleep in. It is so much easier to have a decent sleep in when it is dark longer and it is chilly so snuggling under the doona is so sleep inducing…. Zzzzz….
My ultimate winter comfort treat is chocolate … hot chocolate, chilli chocolate, any kind of chocolate!
My ultimate winter comfort treat is a nice cup of hot coffee and reading or watching movies in my bed with the electric blanket on π
A big bowl of pumpkin soup with some crusty bread.
I have a kotatsu (η¬η΅) at home – Japanese low wooden table with a heat source (heating element) attached underneath and covered by a large thick quilt to keep the heat in. So that’s my ultimate winter comfort – having chilli hot chocolate and sitting with half my body underneath the kotatsu!!! Glorious!!
Curling up on the couch with my furrkids (2 Devon rex’s)’ watching Foxtel, with a hot choc Irish style hehe.
Definitely sitting in front of the fire with my family and a cup of Earl Grey (or red wine). π

Osso Bucco on a creamy mash… particularly if it is cooked by someone else.
Its supper chilly in Melbourne at the moment. Feels like worse than last year’s. I’ve been keeping myself warm & comfortable with lots of black tea from Lupucia (we have only 1 nationwide, its at the QV building), Savour chilli flavoured peas I got from Laguna supermarket at QV (or any asian stores, my Steam Cream as all over moisturiser, thick socks, a bandana, a Doraemon beany, and heater to the full blast (that almost always suffocates my poor hubby). Sigh.. have never been a winter person myself.
A roaring fire, something chocolatey and a warm body to cuddle up to π
The first thing that caught my eye in the pictures is “TIM TAM”! Can’t get enough of them π I would say my winter comfort treat is definitely chocolates (hot chocolate or chocolate bars) and warm, comfy sweater and probably some cheesy Nanchos. Getting hungry just thinking about it.
Those Burt’s Bees skincare looks pretty good too!
Thank you for the giveaway! I definitely love tea and reading under a warm blanket
A nice cup of coffee or tea in front of the heater would definitely warm me up! Thank you π
Hot cuppa soy chai with my ipad under the doona + my dog by my side π
thanks for the give-away, fingers-crossed. xoxo
A hot water bottle, blanket, snug clothes and cuddle on the couch with good tv!
Delicious meaty, cheesy piping hot Lasagne with a glass of full-bodied red wine!
What an incredibly generous giveaway!
My winter treat is being snuggled up in front of the fire with a cat on my lap and some chocolate in my tummy!

Thanks for the wonderful giveaway!
My winter treat is apple, cinnamon and chamomile tea, drunk while snuggled up under a blanket watching something awesome on Netflix! It’s like a hot apple pie that I can have lots of without all those side effects of lots of actual apple pie! :o)
Hot coffee to drink ,waffles to eat and an interesting book to read..
My ultimate winter comfort treat will be home made garlicky mac and cheese with extra blue cheese!! The thought of it makes me drool already lol
