My Winter Necessities

I am in disbelief that the holidays are already here.  That said, this is easily my favorite time of year, EVEN THOUGH the sun sets before 5pm.  Now that you all are going to be spending more time indoors, I’ve collected some of my favorite things to make your home cozy and help you survive the winter.  Links are below!

1: This blanket by Artizen Home looks as cozy as it feels.

2: One of my best friends just turned me onto this smell and I can’t get enough of it.

3: AKA my work uniform.

4: Because they’re just so good.

5: We just got a dutch oven as one of our wedding gifts and it has been a game changer for cozy, hearty meals.  

6: Winter weather means dry air.  Make your home more comfortable and keep your wood floors from checking by keeping humidity levels around 45%.  It can be done in style now!

7: Treat yourself to breakfast in bed on those chilly mornings.

8: Mugs are some of favorite things to collect.  When I moved to Chicago from Boston, I had two suitcases full of clothes and box of my mugs.  Check out Society-6 for some other fun designs.

9: Brighten up your home to make darker evenings a little more bearable.

10: Spending more time indoors means it’s crucial to improve your air quality.  Bring plants indoors to increase oxygen levels and reduce the level of VOC’s in your air.
