Dragging yourself back to work in January is never easy. Add a cold snap sweeping across the UK, and sitting at my desk has suddenly become almost unbearable, as my hands are like blocks of ice. Even working from home with the heating on, my fingers have been uncomfortably chilly, making simple tasks like typing or writing feel genuinely uncomfortable.
I suddenly remembered that I owned a pair of cosy Seasalt fingerless mittens, so I dug them out last week as temperatures began to plummet – and I’m honestly amazed at the difference they’ve made. Wrist warmers are one of those winter capsule wardrobe staples that you can easily forget exist, but then wonder how you ever managed without.
