Keeping your home Cozy

March 8, 2020 by Ashley T

Weather at the minute is just cold. Stepping outside is too cold to handle some days, and all we can do is wish the months away until the summer comes. It’s crazy to think about how much the winter affects us. Our skin, our mood, and our finances all take a hit. When summer comes around we’re all motivated by the warm weather and the good vibes. But one thing most of us relish in during the wintertime is being cozy. There is nothing better than having such a hard day at work and thinking about your bed, and finally being able to climb in it. It literally brings us so much happiness going from being agitated and cold all day to being snuggled up and cozy. So, we’re going to show you how to ensure that’s always what you’ll be when you get home. 

Keeping The Home Warm

Keeping your home warm is an expensive game that we all have to play. It’s a part of adult life that we loath when the bills come around, but that doesn’t mean that it can’t be made easier. One of the ways that you can that you might not think about is changing your windows. If you live in an older home it can be anyone’s guess when the last time the windows were replaced. Windows replacement is easy enough to come by and it’s one of those things that once it has been done it doesn’t need to be done again for many years to come. Triple glazed windows are most effective, the technology used to create them means they’re more robust and economical than ever before. You’ll also find it easier to keep the home warm! There are also statistics to say that if you keep your home heated at 18 degrees all of the time it will save money on your bills and the home will always be toasty. It costs more to keep heating the home right from nothing. 

Making It Look Cozy

Now time to make it look cozy, this might be your favorite bit if you’re into your interior decor. We believe that colors play a big part with this. Browns and beiges are back in at the minute, and it’s perfect for the room. You could have a brown fur rug and throw for the bed, and it’ll instantly make your room look cozy. A quick change of paint to the walls and changing to a beige color will also help your room to feel cozy. Sprinkle around candles, and perhaps some wall art representative of relaxation, perhaps a Buddha, and your room will look great. 

Getting Into Relaxation Mode

Always make sure that you have time to go into relaxation mode. If you’re rushing around your home all of the time without a minute to sit down and breathe until it comes time to get into bed, your evenings are going to be ruined. So, to get truly cozy give yourself an hour to relax long before you go to bed. Your body and mind will thank you!

Paul said I created a fire hazard on my #bulletjou Paul said I created a fire hazard on my #bulletjournal “Books read in 2021” page. But it came out better than I thought it would. 

My soft goal for 2021 is 30 books which I’m pretty sure I can make. My hard goal is 45. Once school ends, I’ll have more time to read and make it through the list I’ve built up. Can’t wait!

I always make it a point to read a certain amount I always make it a point to read a certain amount of books each year but the last 2 or so years, I just haven’t read that many. So, I’m writing down books I plan on reading in 2021 and making sure I follow though. 

Anyone else have an amount of books they want to read in 2021? I’ll have a follow up post with the spread for my “books read in 2021”.

I never shared my #november2020 spread... mainly b I never shared my #november2020 spread... mainly because I never really finished it. I’ve been so busy that I had to do each week as it started which made me lazy. 

However, with thanksgiving giving me a much needed break from work and school, I hopped on to make the last month of the year.

I have to admit that I’m extremely excited to work on my 2021 #bulletjournal  because I’ll be started in a new book and will have plenty of time to figure out how I want the beginning to look. Be sure to lookout for it!
