// It's really, really cold (and snowy!) in Toronto. Today felt like -20 and we're still in the process of getting a big snowfall. Not gonna lie, in some ways I really love it! But, I've gotta say - I am truly enjoying these cozy, chilly, calm moments at home during the dark days of winter.

Every day that passes by I'm reminded of all the things to do during these frigid cold days. We had a very chill, but productive weekend and I feel like it was truly the perfect mix of relax + get sh*t done. The cold had me thinking of a post to share about 25 things to do when it's v cold out:

1. have one seriously magical bubblebath

2. spend time looking through your cookbooks

3. play a board game, or several!

4. go through old photos + organize them

5. put together a surprise package to send to someone you love

6. have a tea party, and why not add cookies?

7. listen to old CD's/albums and ~feel~ that nostalgia

8. stay in your PJ's and read a good book

9. bake something delicious you've always wanted to make

10. discover (and fall in love) with some new podcasts

11. re-watch your favourite movies

12. have a friends marathon (let's be honest, this is good for all seasons)

13. invite a pal over for an inspiration/crafty session

14. make a french press of coffee and keep filling her up

15. visit a coffee shop in your hood with a notebook and good book

16. marie kondo your home and do a good little purge

17. make a beautiful, delicious charcuterie board

18. call your mom/dad/grandma/grandpa/old friend/bestie

19. make a list of goals + dreams

20. do research to plan your next trip/big adventure

21. pamper yourself by doing your nails, face masks, and beyond

22. go for a (little) walk to get some fresh air/get out of the house

23. take some photo's in the beautiful, bright sunlight

24. get crafty and create something, because that's the best

25. light some candles/palo santo, and meditate +/or find your zen
