Read or listen to our latest post / podcast on finding your comforts this winter season. Listen here! During times of winter blues, and the pandemic (even if it were gone), and for those of us who work from home, finding our "creature comforts" is so important. Finding what makes us feel cozier, more at home, ...
Travel On
Do you really travel…whether commuting to work, going on a day trip, work trip or vacation without some form of music/audio to listen to. It’s not just about staying occupied, it’s a sense of comfort and relaxation that allows you to melt into the journey. Here are some songs to help you do just that on your next journey. ...
Little bits of comfort
We all have them. It could be a pen, a necklace, an old stuffed animal, or even a movie. Little bits of comfort that make us feel either at home, calmer, and/or just comforted. It's helpful to have these things, especially in our most stressful environments - such as work. And sometimes it's nice to ...
The little comforts
Over time, I’ve realized that life is so busy, I need to rely on the little comforts in life. They’re helpful for a bit of distraction, a bit of reprieve, and a moment to just rest and not think (as much). My comforts depend on my mood, obviously, but I definitely have my go-to’s that ...
When the virus sets in…
It's bound to happen. Winter is here, the temps have fallen, and we are constantly running at 100 mph. All of a sudden, you're hit. Your energy drops, you need more sleep, and you can't seem to run even 50 mph. Whether it's a rough cold, the flu, or some other virus, it just plain...sucks. Instead ...

Not quite the holiday season (thankfully), even if the retail stores are trying to get us to buy our christmas gifts a month ago, and start ordering that Turkey for Thanksgiving. Instead it's a feeling of crispness, comfort, a bit of hustle and bustle. And a bit ...
The power of touch
A simple hug or embrace can be extremely powerful and uplifting. It allows a level of comfort to coarse through us, as an endorphin would. It allows us feel relief, comfort, love, and other positive feelings that we may have been lacking until that hug or embrace. Many of us go through our day-to-day running around, ...
The necessities of comfort
Comfort comes from multiple places...a hug from a loved one, a sentimental song, a stroll by the water, a good book and the couch, and even a necessary Hulu binge. Sometimes just walking in the door and knowing you can have some quality couch time with your significant other and decompress from the day can ...
Go on a date, with yourself
I used to think having dinner or going to the movies by yourself would be lonely. I would feel like a loser. This past year, my perception on this changed. There were times when my friends or family were busy, not around, or didn't necessarily have a desire to do the same thing I did ...
Your Home, Your Escape
In a recent post, we discussed how decluttering one's home can help declutter one's life. In a similar vein, it's important to decorate and make your home a place you are excited to be. When you wake up in the morning, come home after a long work day, or have a lazy Sunday on the ...
