Cozy Winter Storm

They say winter is halfway over...

...My winter sweaters are getting a bit pilly, and my boots need a good cleaning. And, we won't mention the carpets in my car...they are salt-stained, muddy and horrible. Another winter storm is rolling in from the West Coast, and so Tuesday is going to be another day to stay cozy. Here are some great things to warm up my indoor space:

A Cure for the Winter Gloom

Although it's been snowing for several days, which is lovely, the gloom is starting to affect moods. So, I woke up this morning thinking about ways to cure the cloudy feeling.

Take a delicious warm bath. First, make a steaming cup of tea or pour a glass of Pinot Noir. Then relax with a book. Be really decadent and tumble your bathrobe in the dryer to warm it up, too.

lose the darkness with better lighting

How's your lighting? Very few of us have adequate lighting in our homes or offices, and this affects our ability to work productively and to feel absolutely well. Check out this versatile lamp, which looks great no matter where you place it.


Chase the dim light away and feel more cheerful!
