GET COZY FOR THE HOLIDAY'S
4 WAYS TO COZY UP YOUR HOME
If you’re like us, coziness is a strong part of our game.
Here are 4 tips to bring the holidays to life (and heck, any day for that matter! #quarantinelife)…
LIGHTING
Light a candle, diffuse some essential oils (our favorite lately is cinnamon!) and dim the lights, create ambiance that says “take a deep breath, kick your feet up”. Simple, right? If you’ve worked as my client, you have probably heard me say over and over again - lighting is EVERYTHING! Turn down the lights, and crank up the mood! By dimming the lights, and possibly turning on your Christmas tree or other garlands, you automatically give yourself permission to relax, and to lean into the holiday spirit.
2. TURN ON YOUR FAVORITE MUSIC
A little jazz goes a long way! Or are you more of a piano lover? Either way, set the tone for the mood you want to create. Background music tells anyone who enters “Let’s relax!”. If you have speakers that sync, turning low background thought out your home is a great way to have continuity and will further enhance that relaxed tone. Here are two of our favorite Spotifiy Christmas play-lists…
3. A WARM HOME COOKED MEAL
Nothing - I mean nothing - beats the feeling of walking into a kitchen where a home cooked meal is being prepared. Taking the time to cook is one way to show love to those around you, and may just be the wind down you need in your week. This week especially cook up some leftovers after the hustle and bustle … we attached (above) a great turkey soup how-to video recipe!
4. FRESH FLOWER AND GREENERY
