My hubby got me these fingerless writing (and reading…and living) gloves a few years ago, and they are absolutely perfect. Not too thick and not too thin, they keep my hands warm without hampering use of my fingers like gloves would. They're so soft ...

I recently added this rechargeable heated muff to my arsenal, and it's made such a huge difference in Reynaud's flares. The nice part is that it's roomy enough inside that I can also wear gloves for a double dose of warmth.

If it's cold outside, you will absolutely find me in my Comfy. Not the most attractive piece in my closet, but these things are like wearing your comfiest, coziest blanket anywhere you want to go.

One thing I've tried to do is embrace the Nordic concept of “no bad weather, only wrong clothes.” Rainboots are a must for a happy fall and winter with warm, dry feet!
