How to cocoon the right way Part 1
Fall + Winter activities
Hello Interior Enthusiasts,
The fall and winter season for me is all about getting comfy.
A relaxing walk outside if it’s not pouring is very amusing, especially when it’s paired with some fall sun and an oat latte, but nothing beats a good day of staying inside.
This doesn’t have to be a boring thing, time flies when you are having fun you know.. but you simply need to know how to do it right.
So I will just describe my personal essentials to cocoon the right way.
First things first, you need to create the perfect ambiance..
This means ..
1) Blankets that can stay on the sofa
Nothing more amazing than a comfy blanket that you can crawl under, especially combined with a pile of cushions that support your head. The perfect recipe to snooze a bit.
2) Candles for the right mood
Did you know that candles bring a feeling of security, warmth and tranquility. Scented candles help smooth that part of the brain that is home to all memories and emotion.
So if you are reading this, your €72 christmas candle from Diptyque is indeed an essential.
3) The perfect playlist
My Spotify go to “ Kitchen swagger”
When the ambiance is there, you need to find a fitting activity for the moment.
1) Will it be a movie/serie kind of day?
2) Are you in for a bit of fun? Time to play some board games
3) In a experimental fase, then trying out a new cake recipe might be nice
Last but not least you obviously need something to snack on & drink
1) Snack trays
Sweet, Salty, Savory .. everything needs to be there.
Give yourself some extra love by making that nice club sandwich, baking ( or in my case purchasing) some cookies. And most importantly style it the right way, as if you are a hotel guest in your own home.
2) Nothing more soothing than a good tea.
Go for a winter blend with some spice or a classic ginger and lemon tea.
Well that’s how simple it can be, ready for part 2?
Here I will share the styling essentials you are looking for.
