The South African Weather Services has issued a warning about a cold front sweeping through South Africa this weekend.

Many gutsy Standertonians are accustomed to cold temperatures, but for those who still shiver with cold, here are a few tips that might help you get through the weekend.

1. Scarf up: Apart from a scarf keeping your neck warm, you can also accessorise to make a bold fashion statement. And yes, men can wear scarves too!                                                                                                                     
2. Take a soothing bath: A bath will be sure to get your body temperature up, but use lukewarm water instead of hot water as hot water can cause irritated and dry skin, so keep moisturised!                                                                                         
3. Keep the cold out: Make sure you insulate all the areas of your home where the cold might sneak in. Try using a towel underneath the door to keep the draft out.                                                                                                                                          
4. Get a heater: Depending on the size of the room you are occupying, this will get your warmed up in no time. Just be mindful of the electrical bill.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              
5. Have a braai: If our great ancestors survived winters, surely fire played a vital role in keeping them warm. Fortunately for us, we can enjoy a braai while getting ourselves warmed up. NOTE – A braai should always be an option regardless of the weather.
