I'm preparing for my coziest and most stylish winter yet—here's my selection of essentials for home and beauty.
It's that cozy time of year, and I'm revamping everything from my beauty regimen to the decor in my home. The colder months can lead to dry, lackluster skin and sometimes a bit of seasonal gloom, so why not counter this by adding a few new joy-inducing items? I'm particularly drawn to a soft plush blanket, scented oils, candles, fluffy slippers, and a quality hand or body cream. If you're also planning to hibernate this winter, keep reading. Below, I’m sharing my winter mood board filled with cozy and chic products that will provide your skin and home with some much-needed care.
**D.S. & DURGA**
*Big Sur After Rain Hand Soap*
The refreshing and crisp scent of Big Sur After Rain is something I look forward to each winter. While the candle is absolutely stunning, I also love treating myself to this hand wash as a little *luxury*. Expect aromatic notes of eucalyptus leaf and magnolia for a fresh "mountain air" experience.
**Anima Mundi Apothecary**
*Palo Santo Protection Myst*
Sacred space sprays are essential for me, especially during winter when I usually keep my windows shut. This spray acts like a natural air purifier, as palo santo clears the energy in your surroundings. It consists solely of sustainably sourced palo santo and has a wonderfully rich and woody scent for the season.
**Pallene**
*Faux Fur Plush Pillow Covers*
I can’t get enough of faux-fur pillows throughout my space. These unique and plush pillow covers are priced at just $10 and can dramatically enhance the look of your standard couch throw pillows, adding extra warmth for those cozy Netflix evenings.
**Sidia x Sofie Pavitt Face**
*The Studio Candle*
Everything celebrity aesthetician Sofie Pavitt creates is pure gold, and this candle is no exception. I’ve been burning it constantly because it's both fresh and cozy, featuring notes of yuzu, rhubarb, rose water, blonde woods, and neroli. It truly smells like a luxurious spa or facialist's studio, making it the perfect addition for at-home facials.
I could write a whole separate piece on my love for Lola Blankets. The plush, nontoxic faux fur is incredibly soft—ideal for snuggling on cold winter days. I have my eyes set on a beautiful ocean blue one next. If you want one, act fast; these blankets are highly sought after and sell out quickly.
**Mooncat**
*Nail Lacquer in Ghosts of Hecate*
My obsession with Mooncat nail lacquers is out of control and intensifying with their winter shades. This ghostly, sparkling bestseller is stunning, and I can't wait to try it during my next salon visit.
**KNESKO**
*Amethyst Hydrate Soothing Face Mask*
Knesko's crystal-infused face masks are a bit on the expensive side, but I assure you—they're worth every penny. This amethyst- and collagen-infused mask hydrates my skin like nothing else in winter, leaving it radiant.
**VENN**
*Advanced Multi-Perfecting Red Oil Serum*
After a recent facial at Formula Fig, my aesthetician used this serum on my skin, and I instantly fell in love. It's packed with fermented Korean ingredients that deliver multiple skin benefits, particularly for winter hydration. I was curious about its delightful scent and found that my skin remained hydrated throughout the day without needing any other products.
**LilFox**
*Ancient Green Viridescent Bath Genius Box*
I’m a year-round bath enthusiast, but winter is when I really go all out. LilFox is one of my favorite beauty brands that offers incredible bath soaks. This luxury ritual set includes two of my favorites: Roman Eucalipto and Adriatic Temple. Known for their exquisite aromatherapy blends, these soaks are a treat for the senses. This set also comes with a face mask and body oil, as well as a guided meditation with auric aesthetician Mikaela MacLean. If you're looking to pamper yourself this cozy season, this is the ultimate indulgence.
**Le Labo**
*Santal 26 Medium Black Concrete Candle*
This limited-edition Le Labo candle is incredibly stylish. Santal 26 delivers a smoky, leathery, rich scent that creates a true winter ambiance in any room.
I adore Belnu's collection of clean fragrances, with Chai Fleur being one of my top choices for winter. It features delightful layered hints of nutmeg, cinnamon, green cardamom, lavender, cistus, violet, vanilla bean, cedarwood, and vanilla. This gourmand scent has a beautifully unique undertone thanks to the hints of violet and cardamom.
**Josie Maran**
*Whipped Argan Oil Body Butter in Golden Hour*
I try many body
