Creating a cozy coffee station will give your morning more warmth and love. Making my coffee is the first thing I do every morning. I look forward to it when I go to sleep at night! It’s a ritual and routine that starts my day with comfort and warmth! It is so important that it has its own space on my counter and a shelf full of cups dedicated to holding coffee.

When I set out to give my home a cozier feel, the coffee station was the first area I tackled. In this blog, you will find ideas and inspiration for your cozy coffee station and links to some items I added (and some still on my wish list). I like my home to feel inviting, warm, but most importantly, functional.

I am done just surviving and settling for a life that is not fulfilling.

I’m done doing jobs I hate, and giving my all for people who don’t return my energy.

I am done mindlessly watching the world and ready to make a difference.

I have big goals this year! Stay tuned 💕

If you are ready to start your wellness journey, begin with a whole-life audit that examines all the Dimensions of Wellness because health is about so much more than your physical and mental well-being!

Doing a life audit every couple of months helps me to stay on track and focused on my big goals. It lets me rate and see where I am in the process and the action steps needed to get me there. I have been able to do so much more in life and my career since I started taking the time to check in and move forward intentionally.

It’s time to make your Cozy Winter Bucket List of things you want to do this year! The winter season is tough on us spoonies. The cold weather causes many to experience increased pain and fatigue. It makes it harder to leave the house and stay active. On top of that, the lack of sun affects our mental health, bringing on that big sad feeling. Sure, the holiday stuff sounds fun, but the truth is that the holiday parties and events sound fun but can be exhausting, too.

This year, I am going to be taking it easy and focusing on the cozy things that I can do that bring me joy. I will be taking my energy levels into account and honoring my needs. But that doesn’t mean I will be sitting around doing nothing.

I put together this list of fun spoonie-friendly activities I want to try to fit into these winter months. They are mostly things you can do around the home and low-key social options that will help you stay connected to friends and family.

✨New Blog Post✨ 10 Ways to Reduce Pain This Holiday Season

The holidays can be a rough time of year if you are looking for ways to reduce pain and manage your health. ❄️

Are you stoked???

☃️Or are you feeling a little stressed and worried??

If it was the latter, that’s ok. The holidays are supposed to be about joy and love, giving and food, but dealing with chronic pain can be tricky. The fatigue and stress you are already dealing with only increase when we add the season’s parties, shopping, and activities.

There are not enough spoons for most! It’s a shame that this is what the holiday has become, but you can change that! 🥄🥄

If you need a little help this year— read the blog!!

I understand the struggle, so I have compiled a list of 10 Ways to Stay Healthy and Happy and take care of yourself this season.

As the weather gets colder and the sun rises later, it’s the perfect time for a cozy winter morning routine.

For many people with chronic pain, winter mornings can be tough. The cold and moisture can cause increased pain and inflammation in joints, and the lack of sun can bring on more feelings of depression.

Creating a cozy routine that starts your day off on the right side of the bed can help you make it through winter and manage your symptoms a little easier.

As much as we all want to be “that girl” and have the perfect routine, remember that chronic illness is best approached with a flexible mindset. Create routines for different types of mornings and energy levels.
Some days, you might wake up and stretch. Some days, you might turn on your heat packs to warm up your joints.

In this blog there are a few suggestions of self-care activities that you can add to your winter morning routine🌞❄️☃️

DIY Christmas decore! ❄️

Spent the last week or so making some fun holidays decorations. Not a lot to spend this year but all I needed was some paper, cardboard and a lot of hot glue 🏠

I used to make crafty things all the time, and its something that chronic pain (and maybe adulthood) did to me. This took a lot more effort than it used to!

Making time and putting in the effort to be crafty and creative is one of my 2025 goals and I would say I am off to a good start! 💕
