Romanticize your moment
These are the little things that lift my spirits and create cozy moments during these chilly days—because, as Charles Dickens said, “Reflect upon your present blessings, of which every man has many.”
Scented candles are a must-have in my home as soon as autumn and winter arrive. Every time I light a candle, make myself a coffee, and wrap up in a blanket, my mood instantly improves—and anyone who says otherwise is lying. On top of that, my home sm...

This candle fits perfectly in the bedroom. First because of the look—my room has green accents and neutral tones—and then because of the scent, which I absolutely love because it’s so soft and gentle. Whenever I light this candle before bed, snuggle ...

The blanket everyone loves! Whenever someone comes over, they all reach for it—and for good reason. It’s hands down the most comfortable one out there. When I wrap myself in it, I feel like I’m floating. I have it in white, beige, and blue, and I’m d...

As I mentioned earlier when I recommended the candles, my bedroom has green tones combined with some neutral colors—and that’s exactly why I ordered this lamp. The green candle and the lamp sit on my nightstand, and they match perfectly in terms of a...

Take care of your health
I recommend vitamins, teas, and all the little remedies that keep you healthy and warm during the cold season—because, as Hippocrates wisely said, “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.”
Speaking of teas, I’m not a huge fan, but I usually drink chamomile, mint, and this special one for immunity when the cold weather starts. Whenever I feel like I’m coming down with a cold or my throat hurts, I drink this tea morning and night—and tru...
Traditional Medicinals Organic Throat Coat Tea, 96 Bags
When I was looking for ways to boost my immunity, most advice was to make ginger juice with lemon—but I’m not a fan, especially of ginger because it upsets my stomach. That’s why my mom ordered me this tea made from those exact two ingredients, and i...

Honestly, this heating pad I got as a gift is a total lifesaver. I use it for everything. When I have menstrual cramps, I put it on my stomach. Now that it’s cold, I use it on my feet or to warm my hands while I’m sitting, reading a book, or drinking...

I recommend cozy essentials like thermal socks, an umbrella, a scarf, and sunglasses to stay comfortable and stylish during the colder days — after all, as Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “The first wealth is health.”
When autumn comes, an umbrella is always a must. I ordered this one last year, and it still looks brand new—it’s really durable. I have it in a basic black color, and I never go out without it when it’s raining because I always end up getting sick ot...
