Pick-me-ups during a covid winter

[Anonymous]

We just bought several new fuzzy blankets and had updated lighting installed over the last few months. Had the windows cleaned to let in more light during the winter months. I also bought a new bar of body soap with a really nice fragrance so there's something to look forward to during my morning shower (I usually use unscented). New shearling slippers in a pretty color. Just ordered a Bose soundtrack so I can stream music from my phone again (now that Sonos won't do that anymore), and also listen to the 24/7 Christmas music radio station, lol. Forgot about forced bulbs - will start looking for those.

Constant rotation of good books on my kindle. A special hard copy book for when I’m sitting in my special chair. Monday morning self manicures. Warm baths. Wine on Sunday nights.

Great thread! Any candle recommendations?

I'm excited about walks outdoors to see Christmas lights. I hate how early it gets dark and I'm also having trouble making it outside on work days, but there should be more to see in the dark this month.

Trying to remember to turn on music when I am just hanging out indoors with the kids. I've been enjoying Bach a lot.

House projects. Every little visual improvement makes a difference.

This will be a good year for holiday cards and maybe care packages. Think how much more you'll appreciate mail from people you wont get to see in person. Then think of making others feel that way.

I try really hard to get out on a walk during the day.

I haven't decorated for Christmas yet really, but I do have a few strings of lights up and that and lamps make my living room nice and cozy.

I've really gotten back into reading, almost all fiction (escapism).

Also have been taking a lot of nice baths.
