What better time to make warm homemade soup than on a cold, dreary winter day? We all need a little cozy comfort food when the dim winter daylight doesn’t seem to warm up our world like the rest of the year. Eating a delicious hot soup while snuggled under a warm, cozy blanket is good for the soul. Even better if the soup is homemade—much more nutritious than anything you can get out of a can!

There is a houseplant for you, even if you don't have a green thumb! Just do some research for low-maintenance houseplants…and buy just one plant. Keep one plant alive, and you’ll soon catch the houseplant bug…I know from experience! (Plants are the new candy for me now!) If you are interested in houseplants and would like to know some of the benefits, read on to learn how adding live plants in your space can benefit your health.

I used to work in a store where I merchandised candles and could never resist the urge to smell every new scent I unpacked. There’s just something about the allure of scented candles that’s irresistible! There’s just one thing about store-bought candles, though…They are full of pollutants I don’t want in my house. I decided to learn how to make homemade candles several years ago...and I was hooked!  Burning a homemade candle with hazelnut fragrance. Photo by Diane M. Lilly, 2022. It’s cold outside…and I’m on a mission to make the inside of my home feel cozy. If you’ve read any of my recent blogs, you’ll know by now that I am currently embracing a common theme—hygge. Hygge is a Danish concept of finding joy and coziness in your everyday life, and candles are a core part of that life view, especially in winter.
And as it turns out…I know how to make my candles! |
