I wear my Nike running tights for all year then i might add some 3/4 joggers over the top.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I wear my thin base layer (Helly Hansen) then layer up anything on top. I care not a fig if i look ridiculous.</div><div style="text-align: center;"> - i only run shorter circuits (that pass my car) in the cold so i can dump a layer back at the car if i need to</div><div style="text-align: center;"> - i only do runs of a few miles Max in cold weather, never set off into the countryside on a long one in the cold.</div><div style="text-align: center;"> - Wear a thin hat or a headband with ear covers and some gloves, running and thicker ones. Your hands will DIE running in cold weather.</div><div style="text-align: center;">so that is that :) or just go walking! totally exhilerating!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

The friction of rubbing helps stimulate the nerves and the blood circulation... the addition of oil will keep a layer on top of your skin and under your clothing adding a layer of warmth... like rubbing yourself in Whale Fat, like some cultures do.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3jwDD_19ilo/Ty0KHbnfIlI/AAAAAAAAEhM/OrzI70OMWbA/s1600/potobello,reelsribbon,lights,sale+008.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" sda="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3jwDD_19ilo/Ty0KHbnfIlI/AAAAAAAAEhM/OrzI70OMWbA/s320/potobello,reelsribbon,lights,sale+008.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div align="center">So... i saw this amazing Clarins Body Oil that smelled DIVINE and was to cost me £36.00 for a tub.</div><div align="center">Then i thought <span style="background-color: #ffe599;">"hold your horses crazy lady - you can <em>make</em> a body oil just as good"</span></div><div align="center">So, i went to the Health Store and bought: some Almond Oil (you can even get cheaper oil than this it doesn't matter) and i bought 3 essential oils that i know i love the smell of and that i knew would blend well together - <span style="color: #b45f06;">Jasmine, Lav and Orange.</span> cost approx £30.00</div><div align="center">I played about filling half an old bottle with oil and then adding drops of essential oils till i had a combination that seemed good.</div><div align="center"><span style="color: #e06666;">Voila.... i have been luxuriating in it ever since.</span></div><div align="center"><span style="color: #e06666;">I rub this all over me before i get dressed for running and i rub it all over me at night too.</span></div><br />
