Rebecca added these words on Nov 17 10 at 1:20 pmLove those slippers!
When I’m *really, really, really* cold… chilled to the bone and can’t get warm to save my life I snuggle up with my heating pad. If you put it on your belly or your feet it doesn’t take long for that chill to disappear.
beth added these words on Nov 17 10 at 1:27 pmi just bought some fleece sheets and they are the most warm, comfy/cozy sheets ever.
sloan added these words on Nov 17 10 at 1:36 pmtotally in love with that tub caddy. the tub is where i do my thinking.
as for warming up, try filling a sock with jasmine rice (other rice works, too, but jasmine smells extra nice), knotting the end, and microwaving it for a couple minutes. works wonders on cold toes and makes your house smell like thai delivery. win-win.

Deanna (Silly Goose Farm) added these words on Nov 17 10 at 2:46 pmSorry dear, I think you have all my ideas (except I choose hot showers over hot baths
. We heat our Upstate New York farmhouse with wood, and there is absolutely NOTHING cozier. Have you tried a space heater? Flannel sheets are always a good idea, too (Try LL Bean!).
EK added these words on Nov 17 10 at 2:55 pmThat caddy looks great – and The Emigrants is fantastic. Go read it. Seriously.
carolyn added these words on Nov 17 10 at 2:59 pmi’m with you! my apartment has not yet reached ideal temperatures (although the radiators have been making some noises that lead me to believe they are trying). this weekend i did a little baking to warm up. hot oven + warm treats = wonderful.
elissa, ebb & flow added these words on Nov 17 10 at 3:38 pmi have the same wool sock slippers…the best! our house is always freezing. i went to a minnesota wild hockey game in the middle of winter last year and the announcer said ‘the temperature in the rink tonight is 69 degrees’ and then i realized that’s the same temp my house was before i left! so i’m always doing all the same ‘warm up’ activities as you.

Matrioshka added these words on Nov 17 10 at 3:52 pmYou might feel ridiculous, but wearing a beanie indoors does the trick. You lose 90% of your heat from your head blah blah blah
Kate added these words on Nov 17 10 at 3:53 pmMatroska-
I TOTALLY for got about wearing a hat! I was wearing one last night- lol.
Ashley added these words on Nov 17 10 at 4:11 pmOhh you posted everything I love about cold weather! I even have one of those bath caddys complete with a slot for your wine glass so it won’t spill. I haven’t gotten to use it much though.. I need to get it out!
Eryn added these words on Nov 17 10 at 5:28 pmI am IN LOVE with the booties/socks/slippers? I found a pair at a thrift store that came from Iran–they are handwoven and only cost me 50 cents, since I assume the store owner had no idea what a gem she had stumbled upon (I would’ve paid at least ten).
I think I’ll have soup and a grilled cheese for dinner, though it will not taste as good as it looks on the great dishes.
Mackenzie {Design Darling} added these words on Nov 17 10 at 5:35 pmThat soup and grilled cheese tray is brilliant! I love the table in the last image. You have such a pretty blog!

Betty added these words on Nov 17 10 at 6:24 pm1. Portable space heater/heat dish. Mine goes everywhere with me, and have one permanently stashed under the desk in my office;
2. Heating blanket/pad under my fitted sheet. I turn it on half an hour before bed. Toasty sheets every time!Stay warm
Cassandra Marie added these words on Nov 17 10 at 6:47 pmI love, love this post! It instantly got me in the mood for grilled cheese and soup…and some cuddle time on the couch! Thank you

Margo added these words on Nov 17 10 at 8:55 pmThere is nothing better than tomato soup and grilled cheese. I’m getting hungry just looking at this post! And where are those lovely colored tea prints from?
Krystal/Village added these words on Nov 18 10 at 2:47 amthese are brilliant ideas for the winter. Love them
Megan C added these words on Nov 18 10 at 6:53 amThank for this. I am a California girl spending my first winter in Berlin, or Brrrrlin as I like to call it. I need all the staying warm tips I can get…

secretfragileskies added these words on Nov 18 10 at 7:43 amI wear a gaiter (the fleece or wool ones from skiing) all the time when I am home plus two or three sweaters! Very cozy.
Laura added these words on Nov 18 10 at 9:36 amHoney does something funny with heat. It sort of intensifies it when it’s in your tea. The same may go for ginger, but i’m not a fan of the taste. Ginger in a pumpkin soup may be a good idea, though.
And scarves! Scarve-love this fall and winter. My collection is becoming a bit crazy, especially now i’ve taken up learning to crochet
I’m also on the look-out for some thick velvety curtains (second hand) to put between the front door and the rest of the house. Draft is the biggest reason my apartment gets cold, so i’m looking to fix that.
tammy added these words on Nov 18 10 at 10:45 ammm all of these items look so cozy. and i have been eating way. too. much. tomato soup and grilled cheese lately.
the chirpy bird added these words on Nov 18 10 at 5:50 pmAw man I love baths! It’s a shame that I don’t have one in my new place but I just adore them! Nothing like coming out feeling a little more relaxed and smelling clean

Cookie and Kate added these words on Nov 29 10 at 10:04 pmI’m thoroughly obsessed with sweater slipper boots! I, too, have three pairs. That bath looks heavenly and I love the wooden caddy. Perfection! I wonder if I could get my dog to snuggle with me in that twosome blanket? That would be hilarious!
