I’ll get to what I’m using to help ease them around the house at the end of this blog, so stay tuned. Along with Spring weather comes Spring cleaning means & that means clearing out all the corners of the house that possibly haven’t seen as much love in the winter months as they should have. Spring cleaning means opening those windows up and washing away all of the built up debris for allowing that fresh air in to actually be fresh. I’ve been using oils to make my house smell fresh but also for the additional health benefits.

These are my top 4 favorite places to go in New England during the long winter months. There are tons of lodging options from ski in ski out on mountain to cozy boutique hotels right in the middle of town. The Woodstock Inn makes a romantic couples destination and there are tons of great dining options in town. The beautiful Omni Mount Washington Hotel is a New England icon, in addition to the incredible views and amazing amenities, you are right across the street from Bretton Woods ski area.

The performance is a montage of recently filmed dances and a retrospective of performances developed over the past decade with long term Boston Ballet resident choreographer Jorma Elo. The newly filmed pieces and world premieres made for this virtual performance format, were a wonderful way to be somewhat in the moment while also tying the rest of the previous performance videos together. -Mikko Nissinen Lia Cirio and Paulo Arrais in Jorma Elo’s Bach Cello Suites, photo by Rosalie O’Connor; courtesy of Boston Ballet.

For the bedside table, I took a small hanging shelf that I had bought for the bathroom but never used and found the perfect enamel tray from Wayfair to turn the shelf into a delicate functional bedside table. To brighten the makeshift bedside table up and make my space exactly the size I needed, no less no more, I added a white enamel tray as the bedside table top to lighten things up a bit. To expand my space but still keep my bedside table clear, I found these jewelry storage shelves to use to hold all my bedtime essentials: a book, some hair elastics, a head scarf, a candle, a ceramic jewelry box and a water carafe. The set contains three small ceramic vases: one for my bedside table, one for my husband’s bedside table and one for our shared dresser.

As a new-ish knitter, and child of a devoted winter wool-wearer, I know the magical powers of woolen fibers. If your aesthetic is a little more New England chic than 70’s dad sweater, then these anchor mittens will be perfect for you. Similar to the ones from The 77 New England, they are made from upcycled wool sweaters and fleece. If you want to learn more about a variety of wool New England mittens, I definitely recommend checking out this article about these New England boiled wool fisherman’s mittens in Yankee Magazine.

You should always use a heat protectant spray when using heat on your hair, bad bitches don’t have damaged hair. I save so much time and money being on a 7 day hair wash schedule. like me, I have a purse chapstick, a car chapstick, a bathroom chapstick, and a nightstand chapstick. Spend less time drying your hair, less time packing your makeup, and less time running around searching for your chapstick.

This winter we basically tore apart our bedroom spaces in order for MassSave to come and help make our home more efficient. In order for MassSave to come insulate our walls, we had to remove everything from our closets which lead right under the roof. Shift our bed closer to the windows so the room feels larger when you walk into it (and my closet area feels less boxed in).

the second the government says we no longer have to wear masks, get tested every single time we cross a state or international border, and generally run a low risk of contracting COVID, we’re all going to be hopping on planes, trains, boats, and busses to make up for all of that lost travel time. As these flights were at different times and on different airlines, creating multiple plans allows you to more easily visualize how timing + pricing differences may impact your trip. However, plan 2 may have our flight getting to Wyoming at 10 pm, which would cause us to stay in Jackson that night instead of heading to our first destination like we would’ve in plan 1. If you can plan specific activities and book them beforehand, along with your flights and hotels, the only thing you’ll really have to pay for during the trip are souvenirs and food.
