While Spring has just about sprung, that doesn’t mean we’re through with colder March days and those darn April showers just yet! When it’s cold and rainy out, and you’ve been stuck inside for who knows how long, binging the next series on your “recommended” list might feel like the most appealing option. But if you’d like to mix things up, here are a few ideas to channel ✨ hygge vibes ✨.
Set The Mood
Candles are a key ingredient to a super cozy atmosphere. Not only do they provide beautiful, soft lighting, but they also add warmth and scent to your space!
Tip: Choose seasonal scents to inspire celebration, or choose a summery scent like something coconut or floral to help combat the seasonal blues!
Add Texture
Plush throws, sheepskins and cushions make for a way more inviting space. Cover your surfaces in as many ✨ luxurious ✨ fabrics and pillows as you can find and snuggle down! Tip: Feel free to go faux and save the 🌎 !
Curate Your Cold-Outside Playlist
Make yourself a mix of music that brings on the calm 😌 Put it on shuffle, relax, repeat. Tip: Instrumentals are classics for a reason — they can work as background for just about anything! When in doubt, most music services have pre-made playlists, some of which you can filter by mood (Spotify Cozy Blend, we see you).
Do Seasonal Activities
Making caramel apples? Check! Working on (or giving up on 😉 ) your New Year’s resolutions? Check! Whatever your favorite seasonal activities might be, create a plan to make them happen — put it on your calendar, set a reminder on your phone, or find an “accountabili-buddy”, aka a friend or family member who will give you the nudge you need, and feel the magic as even the most 😒blah😒 weather washes over you!
