Warm + Cozy
This month, we are all about finding our JOY through all things warm and cozy. When autumn begins to flaunt its muted pallet, turning our heads with every shade of gold and rust, I find closure to one season and joy in welcoming another. I look forward to replacing warm weather and sunlight with warm pots of soup simmering and candle-lit cozy gatherings of friends and family around our table. As October shortens our daylight and chills the air, how can we carry the warmth of summer with us?
Cold weather inspires us to create comfort. Here are some of my favorite ways to create warm + cozy.
Light candles. Repeat.
Drape warm blankets across beds, chairs, and sofas.
Hold your warm beverage of choice in your hands for 10 minutes of stillness while you sip and savor in the mornings.
Pour a second warm cup and walk around your yard or block in the crisp fall air.
Dim lights and have a candle-lit dinner paired with relaxing music.
Make a big soup + Invite others to gather around your table to linger in good company.
Go to the library and check out books about anything and everything interesting to you, and leave them on end tables to grab with a warm cup of tea and a cozy blanket for any-time-of-day rest.
Homemade pizza & movie night.
Bonfires. Hearth fires. Youtube fires. Need I say more?
Rearrange furniture in a way that invites rest and present conversation.
These are simple ways to inspire joy when darkness and cold set in. How do you create warm + cozy?
