SNOW Day Essential Coziness

And now for a little break from the Arizona Adventures, to bring us back to reality. Cold winter days in Michigan....

The weatherman finally becomes your best friend, when along the bottom of the screen in small print you see SNOW day! In Michigan, there's plenty of opportunity to get these... yet they still seem few and far between. But when they do come around, it's time to buckle down and get cozy, because it means there's a legit blizzard happening outside. Here are some of my essentials for a day in:

1. Coffee.. coffee, hot tea, hot chocolate - any warm and comforting drinks, but my favorite: coffee.

2. Magazines - this is probably one of my biggest guilty pleasures.

3.  A good book. I usually keep my kindle stocked full of options, and can easily get lost in a book for the entire day.

4. Nail polish - I'm a hoarder when it comes to this. I love collecting new colors and painting my nails. Maybe it's the nail polish fumes getting to me, but it's really soothing activity for me.

My bed is one of my favorite spots in the house - I mean who's isn't it?! Not only is it the comfiest spot, but I am obsessed with bedding and pillows. I love the cleanness of a white comforter or duvet, and being able to paint on it with many colors of pillows. For a place where we spent the majority of our day in, it's important that you are using fabrics that are gentle on your skin through the years. I recently discovered the simple and  elegant bedding at Parachute Home- a great natural canvas to start building your room around.

 

This is my chair. A chair I dreamed for my room but didn't know if I'd find. But walking into the tinieset antique store in Grand Rapids, there it sat. And unlike many antiques, it didn't even smell!

 My work station - filled with lots of the people I love in my life, who daily give me inspiration.

 I did mention coffee, didn't I? :)

And now to watch hopefully a repeat of last year.... Go Seahawks!

Cheers!
