Summer bedding essentials
Hot summer nights are here and it is time to refresh your bedding. Put away those flannel sheets and consider a more breathable, summer weight material. Bamboo sheeting has become a favorite for its softness and wrinkle resistant properties. It is also a great choice for the environment, as bamboo is fast growing and sustainable. Linen is another popular option for summer bedding and provides a relaxed aesthetic. A very durable yet breathable fabric, linen fiber will soften over the years. Choose lightweight coverlets and blankets, and summer weigh duvets so you can layer on or off and stay cool this summer season.
hygge at home
The holiday season is upon us and it is time to slow down and create memories with friends and family. Used as an adjective to mean cozy or comfortable, hygge is the ultimate in holiday experiences. But how do we hygge at home? Alexandra Gove, creator and founder of Hygge Life in Eagle Vail shares these tips. "Make your home a hygge haven. Light candles throughout the day, pile the couch with pillows and blankets and put on your favorite music. If you have a fireplace, use it throughout the day." And don't forget your slippers she adds! "One way to make this cozy atmosphere, is to put a basket of slippers in various sizes by the door so your guests can slip off their shoes and enjoy a soft pair of slippers." Be present with friends and family and embrace the holiday season together, hygge inspired.
