Inspiration Fridays: A Book, a Hot Drink, a Treat, and a Snuggle


As the weather gets colder, I like to wrap myself in warmth, eat delicious food, enjoy quality entertainment, and snuggle with my darling.  I feel as if this is fairly common practice.  During the winter, we enjoy hot beverages, the comfort of cozy scarves and sweaters, and the simple pleasure of long, dark nights with a lamp and a book or movie.  Though Thanksgiving hasn't yet arrived, I've already taken to burrowing into my couch with novels, wearing comfy knee socks and drinking hot chocolate whilst playing video games, and piling blankets on top of myself and Danny as we catch up on some of our favourite TV shows.  It's easier to wear dark or warm colors in the cold weather, to surround yourself with everything that makes you feel warm and safe, in contrast to the harsh winds and temperatures outdoors.

Today's post is devoted to the urges we get to hole up in a cocoon, eat breads and pastries, drink coffee, tea and cocoa, and grab a book and a snuggle buddy.  Because that is what inspires me today.  I'm doing my best to beat it by working out and attempting to dress well, but honestly, all I want is a pain au chocolat, my space heater, my boyfriend, a sweater, a latte, and a good 500 pages of fantasy to accompany my winter hibernation.

Inspiration Fridays: Love of All Kinds

Valentine's Day is in three days, so I decided to do a love themed Inspiration Friday!

I've never been a huge Valentine's person.  I love watching everyone get so excited about telling people that they care, enjoying seeing men buy their ladies chocolates and flowers.  It's wonderful to notice that your friends are remembering that they care about you.  From the romantic end though, I've never been big on it.  Lately, even less so.  Though I am a hopeless romantic, as I posted last week, I'm a romantic all of the time.  My boyfriend buys me flowers and takes me out to dinner a lot, so Valentine's Day just seems like another day to me.  We're very good about letting each other know about our love, so, when it comes to a holiday like this, I'm not quite sure how to top the everyday!  We buy each other things randomly, and always are treating for dinner and things like that.  Every day is kind of our Valentine's Day-  I think that's a really, really good thing. 

In honor of my growing Etsy store, I decided to use photographs of cute and quirky items for sale on Etsy!
All of these items are actually wedding cake toppers.  I thought it was appropriate for the holiday.
