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. Of course, after a month of being cooped up we begin to feel restless again and look forward to warmer days. Here are a few of my favorite things to help get me through the gray days of winter.

• Decadent body lotion to help keep my skin super soft despite the dry air
• A large stash of candles to create a cozy glow throughout the house
• A subscription service that makes me look forward to getting the mail (my current favorite is Book of the Month Club)
• Supermarket flowers to help brighten my living room and to serve as a reminder that spring is just around the corner
• A new mug to sip all that coffee and tea from
• Cozy loungewear … if you’re going to be stuck at home, you may as well be super comfortable!
• The softest blanket possible
• Sheet masks to keep my face moisturized

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?
