We all need a sanctuary, a little slice of heaven to call our own. Whether you dub it a cosy corner or a reading nook, it's that special spot where you can escape the daily grind and truly unwind. This haven can be nestled inside your home or perched on a shaded back porch - the choice is yours!
Start by picking a sun-kissed corner anywhere in your house. Transform it with a few key elements: a plush rug for comfort, a pillow for support, a side table (I'm partial to vintage pieces), a touch of greenery, and some soft, ambient lighting.
As an avid reader, I've crafted my own little retreat. Picture this: a comfy secondhand chair overlooking our serene pond, surrounded by stacks of my favorite books. A flickering candle sets the mood, and I keep some duck food handy for when our feathered friends pay a visit.
Here are some ideas to make your space uniquely yours:
Swap physical books for audiobooks. Imagine sipping coffee in blissful silence, headphones on, eyes closed or simply sitting still.
Keep a notepad and pen within reach for those eureka moments.
Set a schedule for your me-time. Maybe it's 30 minutes every morning or an hour each Saturday. Communicate this to your family to ensure uninterrupted peace.
Activate "Do Not Disturb" on your phone to resist the temptation of checking it.
Be selfish with your time here. Read what you want, not what you feel you should. Leave your to-do list at the door.
Engage your senses with calming scents. Try our Raglan Weekend blend (vanilla, lime, and coconut) for a tropical escape, or indulge your sweet tooth with Sunday (almond, cinnamon, and vanilla).
So, where's your go-to spot for a little me-time? We'd love to hear about your personal oasis.
