As temperatures drop, the holiday season approaches with its procession of cozy evenings spent under the covers. Between two bubbles of champagne, we especially feel the need to refocus on ourselves, to hibernate in a cozy cocoon, ideally accompanied by some winter sweets. In this collection dedicated to the art of living and the quest for well-being during the cold months, Déborah Joulianos shares her valuable advice for getting through this period with serenity and lightness.
The paper book is like a soft refuge, its slightly yellowed pages evoking warm and delicate hues. Its charming illustrations invite you to dream and you can easily imagine reading it in an English cottage, sitting in front of a crackling fire. Its captivating charm brings comforting warmth, enhanced with a pinch of magic, ideal for the magic of Christmas!
Three months, three different atmospheres
Each chapter is dedicated to a distinct winter month. December, for example, plunges us into the festive frenzy of the end-of-year holidays. Then, January arrives, marked by resolutions and the need to recover from the excesses of New Year's Eve. Finally, February, that month when morale wavers, as we impatiently await the return of light and milder temperatures.
For each of these months, the author offers us decorating tips, tasty recipes, inspiring gift ideas and well-being tips to pamper our minds and bodies. The creative arts hold a place of honor, inviting us to reinvent our daily lives by illuminating our home with personal and colorful touches.
A work that we savor
We took great pleasure in leafing through the pages of this book, each discovery being a promise of originality and diversity. Like an ultimate guide to enjoying winter, we were enchanted by its suggestions of films, music and books adapted to each moment.
The proposed decoration ideas are simple to achieve, whether alone or with the family. Imagine the sweet fragrance of a garland of dried oranges delicately scenting your interior! The many savory and sweet recipes make your mouth water just reading them. Without forgetting the game recommendations to liven up an evening with friends, the tempting cheese recipes or even this miracle herbal tea which soothes coughs. The author also thinks about our mental and physical well-being, devoting several pages to this subject. A program of intentions is kindly proposed, in order to marvel, laugh and rest gently and happily.
Winter Cocooning is a treasure trove of practical tips, ingenious suggestions and caring advice to transform the dark winter months into a time of personal renewal. We've already enthusiastically dove into the DIY candle workshop…and maybe also tried the gingerbread and mulled wine recipe, but shush, let's keep that between us!
