My Favorite Cozy Self-Care Items

For this week’s collection of links, I got inspiration from

Leslie Stephens

and her list of 11 Things I’m obsessed with from 2023. The things on my list are cozy self-care items that I love to use all the time. I hope you enjoy them!

☕Earl Grey Tea

So yes, I do think Earl Grey is cool because Captain Picard drinks it and I do wish I had a replicator to which I could say “Tea, Earl Grey, hot.” But that’s not the only reason I love it. Bergamot, which gives Earl Grey its flavor, is uplifting and helpful for anxiety and depression. I love to breathe in the smell of bergamot while preparing and drinking my tea. I learned recently that it is also good for cholesterol which is exciting to me because I tend to have high cholesterol if I’m not careful. Here’s a link to learn more.

📕Cozy: The Art of Arranging Yourself in the World by Isabel Gillies

I love this book because it reminds us that we need to make our own cozy happen and we can find cozy things anywhere, even in a hospital. I wish I would have read this before my son’s stays in the hospital. You can find her and her books on Amazon

♨️Steam Facials

Also called steam inhalation, it is a great way to open your sinuses and your pores and cleanse your skin.  It is also a wonderful way to relax and de-stress after a long hard day.

Steam facials promote circulation and hydrate skin which helps absorption of moisture from skin care, loosens dirt in pores, and allows products to penetrate.

You can use an essential oil blend or an herbal infusion or both.
