I have been spending a lot of time at home because of the cold weather and the snow. I feel like I’ve really perfected the essentials for a cozy day / night spent in – the things you want to really luxurious while you’re lounging. It’s not about expensive things, though, it’s just about feeling like you’re taking the time you need to really relax and recharge. For me, these are the things that make me feel the most relaxed and comfortable while at home.

What to Wear
Of course, being cozy at home means wearing something cozy. For me, there are two options – pajamas or cashmere. I know, I know – those sound like two opposite ends of the spectrum. But they’re the comfiest! Sometimes, there’s nothing better than spending an entire day in pajamas. For me, that means my Lake pajamas – they’re so soft and comfortable. I love the smocking on the neckline of this one – the ruffle is so cute. If you want to wear real clothes, though, cashmere is my favorite option. It feels like pajamas but it’s socially acceptable! This cashmere hoodie with matching joggers is a great option. Fuzzy socks to keep your feet warm are a great addition! And of course, when you’re being cozy at home, wrapping yourself in a blanket is a must. My ChappyWraps are my go-tos – I have one in my bed and a few scattered around the house for convenience. For extra coziness, I love throwing my blanket in my towel warmer for a few minutes so it’s nice and warm! It feels extra luxurious.
What to Do
First, I set the mood with a candle. I am very big on lighting the “good” candles just for me to enjoy – this Paris Nuit scent from Hotel Lobby is really nice in the colder months. It will come as a shock to no one that my favorite thing to do during a cozy day at home is to read for a few hours (…or more, no judgement!). For an extra bonus, I put my iPad in this stand (which doesn’t tip from the weight like my old one did!) and use this clicker to turn the pages, so my hands can stay warm under the blanket. I use it while reading in my chair, but it also works perfectly if you’re reading from the couch or the bed. It’s also the perfect time to do a little extra skincare – I like to slather on some lip balm, and do a face mask like this collagen one that’s best worn for hours at a time. And a few hours before bed, I’ll pop one of these Earlybird CBD gummies! They give the perfect buzz – like a glass or two of wine – and just make me feel so mellow and relaxed. It’s the perfect way to end a cozy day.
