The Creative's Trend Report: Cozymaxxing

The winter blues are real.

Holiday magic is fading, the sun is setting before I get home from work and my time outdoors is few and far between. Now more than ever, it's important to me to add light and energy into my home to help offset some of the blues.

The word cozymaxxing is new to me but basically means squeezing every ounce of "cozy" out of your day using all your senses. That means relying on warm, soft lighting, soft textiles, plush pillows, warm drinks and intentionally fragranced spaces.

Here are a few ways I'm cozymaxxing this winter:

• no overhead lights, lamps only

• stepping into comfy loungewear the second I come home

• build a "relax" cue by lighting a candle during my evening routine

  • (I'm reaching for Clean Crisp White at the moment)

• set boundaries around screen time, work, and social obligations

Try a few out and watch those winter blues drift away.

xoxo,
