When I was little my hands were often cold and if I complained about that my mother always said "Cold hands, warm heart" meaning that I was kind.

Back then I was very slim but as a grown up I have been more chubby (or worse). Now I have lost some weight and feel pleased about that. I don't want to be skinny though. I frankly don't like people too slim as I think it looks unhealthy and unattractive.

No matter how my body looked, my hands, wrists and fingers have always been slim and slender. Maybe that is why they have always become cold easily...no insulating fat.

 

Last winter when the commune fiddled about a lot with the heating on our school I was even more cold that usual and felt some ache in my fingers from my arthritis. This year I want to have warm hands as well as a warm heart and have ordered 3 pairs or wrist warmers to keep me warm. Imo they are also very cute, (see below).
