I love the coziness of cold weather seasons: blankets, fires, hot chocolate, staying in with wine, chess, and books, and most importantly, in cold weather, you don’t feel bad for staying in. There’s no guilt in not going outside constantly or hanging out with friends, let alone the constant need to be doing something, the […]
We all go through those phases where we’re not only unmotivated, but discipline isn’t strong enough for us to do what makes us feel best: eat right, get some movement in, work on personal goals, keep our homes tidy, do the things we usually do to make us feel calm and happy. This can happen […]
Birthdays come once a year (unless you’re born on February 29th, I suppose) and that’s part of what makes them so special. The other reason they’re so important to so many people is that it’s the one day that’s just about you: you don’t have to be a parent, you don’t have to be married, […]
I love reading suspense novels, and always have one in my rotation, especially when in a reading slump. I love the dark, mysterious vibes in a mystery, and one of my favourite things about them is the cozy ambience featured in most stories, often reminding me of fall, and let’s face it, Halloween. That being […]
What a year! In 2023, I focused a lot on personal goals, particularly around my passion projects, getting in shape, and really upping my beauty routine. I’m pretty pleased with how the year has gone! I spent a lot of time with good friends, my partner, and my family, and looking back, 2023 has been […]
With apps like TikTok and Instagram it’s easy to spend hours mindlessly scrolling, often losing chunks of time to social media. Personally, I actually think this is fine. It’s your life, do what you want. And I myself have been known to spend an hour on TikTok before bed, too tired to read, or even […]
There are a few books I love to re-read in the fall, particularly around Halloween. Normally, I love to read thrillers, mysteries, anything with suspense, as well as classic literature, but during October, reading a few horrors is a must! If you’re looking for something spooky to pick up this time of year, look no […]
My sister Annette lovingly calls me the Fall Queen because once autumn hits and she comes over, she’s immediately welcomed into (or bombarded by) a seasonal paradise. Pumpkin scented candles waft through my apartment, dark furs drape the couch, gourds have been caringly placed all over the space, and of course, red wine sits on […]
Summer can be seen the least cozy of the seasons – it’s hot, sometimes humid and unbearably so, so there’s no need for the warmth that other seasons require: fires, blankets, hot drinks. Believe me, as a woman obsessed with everything cozy, it can be impossible to feel excited for summer with all the expectations […]
Reality tv has always been something you love or hate, and I have been on both sides of this particular war. However, the older I get, the more I seem to enjoy melting my brain. Let’s dive into this. As a kid I remember watching The Bachelor with fervor – I was intrigued by these […]
