how are you doing, my dear? do you have any suggestion for a dreamy winter?

la-petitefille:

hi there, love! ♡ i am doing okay, and thank you so much for asking! (i hope that you are doing splendidly, too! 🌟😊💖) i’ve been on vacation visiting some family several states away from my home for the past few days, and today is my last day before flying back tomorrow — lots of sitting around inside heh, but it’s actually quite nice to do so in a place that’s unfamiliar? 🙈✨

i always love listening to old holiday music // ballet orchestral pieces during this time of year, because it completely changes the atmosphere of the world! 💗 even if it isn’t snowing outside, something about the right music just puts you in such a magical space. 😌🎶🎄 i also adore doing little things to liven up the room in other ways — lighting cinnamon or vanilla scented candles is a big one! also consider… ♡ smoothing peppermint body lotion onto your skin; drinking a cozy, seasonal tea blend; watching the classic Nutcracker ballet + black-and-white holiday films beneath soft blankets // whilst wearing fuzzy socks; going on an ice-skating date; bundling up and visiting a little tea shop; taking a long shower or bath w/ sugary-scented bath products, or writing sweet letters or cards to send off to the ones you love! ♥️💌🕊🙏🏻
