Dear friend,

Happy December! The world outside may be bustling with holiday cheer, but here in our snug corner, time dances to a slower tune. Allow yourself to embrace that melody, finding moments of rest and relaxation when you need them.

In these recent days, my hours have been marked by copious cups of coffee and the constant flicker of all-day candles. As night falls, I drift into slumber with a book in hand, my bedside lamp still casting its kaleidoscopic glow.

Winter is an alchemist. It has a wondrous way of turning the mundane into magic; even the simplest of moments shimmer with an unexpected luminosity under the season’s spell. Here’s to cherishing these fleeting moments and finding patterns in even the smallest of snowflakes.

☃️ seasonal selections ☃️

• I’ve decided to bake a sweet treat every weekend in December, starting with these deliciously simple snickerdoodles. (Made sugar-free by using monk fruit in the raw.)

• Need a dose of seasonal style inspiration? Check out these five eco-friendly holiday looks, tailored to every party and personality. Writing this piece was a joy! I can vouch for the quality of the clothing, having purchased items from most of the listed brands.

• From chefs to writers to athletes, I’ve always been captivated by extremists—those rare, outlandish people who are unafraid to push themselves beyond conventional limits. Case in point: the ice-beard surfers of Lake Superior. They’re insane and way cooler than I’ll ever be.

• I have absolutely no reason to purchase this quilted patchwork coat + jogger set (made from recycled polyester!), but I wish I did. It’s not the most budget-friendly, but could be seen as an investment if you live somewhere cold. (Here’s the matching cap and scarf, if you’re feeling extra cozy.)

Desperate to keep warm during the early December storm, the family croodled beneath a fort of thick blankets.

🌨 cozy conversations 🌨

What’s your go-to winter read or favorite chilly weather activity? It can be anything that warms your heart (or body), making the season truly magical.

Thanks for reading, and I do hope you have the snuggest of Thursdays. It’s been around 60ºF here in Florida (practically freezing), so I’m off to croodle my cat.

Until next week, stay cozy.

With warmth and whimsy,
