We are getting into the hardest part of winter, where it gets cold, icy, dark, and you think the sun will never come out again. As the Danes say, bring on the Hygge! Here are all my cozy must-haves to get you through the dead of winter.
Clinique Moisture Surge Lip Hydro-Plump Treatment ($22)
What’s winter without a favorite lip balm? I’ve tried out so many different lip balms, but when my lips are chapped, this is the only thing that heals them overnight.
Women’s Boundless Days™ Long Down Jacket ($210)
I am WAY overdue for a heavy-duty winter coat. I’m talking long, puffy, with a hood. Something I can hide in when it’s so cold that the air hurts your face. I love the sleek look of this one and Columbia is the gold standard in winter wear.
SALKING 2-in-1 Ultrasonic Essential Oil Diffuser & Himalayan Salt Lamp ($26.99)
I have a salt lamp and a diffuser, but this is the best of both worlds! I read the book on Hygge recently and this embodies all the coziest vibes.
Twinkled T Nail Honey Trio ($17.99)
I have been following Twinkled T on TikTok for a while, and every time I see one of her videos, it’s a reminder to apply cuticle oil. I love her trio because you can keep the pen in your car, the dropper in your purse, and the bottle on your nightstand.
Lou & Grey Signature SweatSet
These are my favorite at-home loungewear sets. They look nice enough (and fitted enough) to wear to drop-off/pick-up or Saturday morning soccer, but they are SO cozy and comfy! I snap them up in every color as soon as they restock.
Neom De-Stress Real Luxury Intensive Skin Treatment Candle ($48)
I LOVE the sentiment of this candle. You light it while you bathe (for about 30 minutes) and then use its oil as a skin treatment. So decadent. This one is jasmine scented, but they have a lavender one, too.
Nail Polish – CND Denim Patch ($11)
I love a Winter blue color for this time of year. It’s literally the color of the outdoors, like a grey/blue slush lol. But it looks great on your nails.
Cole Haan Catherine Waterproof Bootie ($108.98)
I need a cute pair of winter work shoes. And I mean shoes that can handle a Michigan winter, so they can’t be suede or show my ankles, and they need to be mostly flat. I’ve already slipped on the ice once this year… These fit the bill, and I could wear them with a lot of different outfits. I love that they are waterproof, so your feet will stay dry all day!
Fantik Tire Inflator ($59.99)
This is a little different from my normal favorites list, but I have used this SO much and get asked about it all the time. You know how when the weather gets colder, your tire pressure declines? Well, this is a handy air compressor that you can keep in your glove box and fill up your tires wherever you are. I like to do it at the gas station. But this is a great gift! It also works on bike tires and sports balls.
O’Keeffe’s Healthy Feet Foot Cream and Moisturizing Gel Heel Socks ($29.95)
I am on a mission to heal a persistent heel crack, and I got this set in my stocking for Christmas. I’ve been lathering it on every night. I like these heel socks so much more because I hate wearing socks to bed.
SoSoft Mini Sweater Dress ($20.97)
Old Navy kills it again. This is the perfect, versatile sweater dress you need for the winter. Work meeting? Church? Drinks with friends? Date night? It works for everything!
Fleece Lined Tights ($29.99)
These have been on my list for a while. I usually wear my Spanx tights, but some days, you need something warmer if you’re going to wear a dress.
Free People Slumber Party Slippers ($68)
I’m usually not a slippers person, but my daughter has been wearing her slippers, and I’ve been influenced seeing these Free People slippers all over my Facebook groups. I also think that if I stop going barefoot around the house, it will help lessen my heel crack. These are just too cute…maybe I would wear them…
