Even the grayest days of winter can be brightened up with life’s little luxuries.
Winter is a season that so many of us romanticize. In the midst of summer, we long for rainy or snowy days that leave us stuck indoors under a cozy blanket with the fireplace roaring.

None of these things cost very much at all but they make me feel so good despite all the gloomy weather. What are your favorite little luxuries to help you get through this time of year?
