Winter break is finally here!  Do you sometimes find yourself thinking, ''I don't know what to do.''? There are plenty of things out there to keep your mind busy. Why not do something useful during the time you have off? You'll be happy that you took these extra few days to get some things done! If you still don't have a plan yet, I gathered some ideas to inspire you. 

Gather donation items

This is a great way to declutter your home, while also helping those in need. The more stuff you give away, the less clutter you'll have around you! 

You're probably wondering how to get started. Just start with one room where you spend the most time, and go from there. What are your favorite things? The things that bring you joy? You should only be surrounded by those things. If there are items that don't fit this bill, then it's time to start donating them! If you don't have space for everything you own, consider dropping off some of your items at a local charity or thrift store. 

If you have space, try selling some of your items on eBay or Craigslist. It's a great way to feel good about yourself while helping out others who may not be able to afford new items for themselves.

Learn Something New

A lot of us spend a lot of time watching television. But what if we could fill that time with something more productive?

Here are some ways to turn your TV-watching into something more productive:

1) Watch educational shows. You don't have to give up on the guilty pleasures—you just have to balance them out with some educational programming. You could watch documentaries or TED talks, or try learning a new language with an online course.

2) Learn how to do something new. Instead of watching reruns of your favorite show, take up a new hobby or learn how to do something useful around the house by watching YouTube videos or instructional videos on how to use tools like power drills and sewing machines or building a birdhouse!

3) Create something! Instead of watching TV, try creating something artistic like painting or drawing, writing poetry or short stories (or even full novels!), building models from scratch using Legos or K'nex pieces…the possibilities are endless!

Deep cleaning

When the weather is really miserable and you know you're going to be inside for a long time, consider doing a proper deep clean. Don't just dust—go through your whole house and make sure everything looks its best!

It's not just about cleaning the surfaces, though that's important. A deep clean is about making sure you get into all of the nooks and crannies of your home, so that it feels fresh and clean from top to bottom. There's nothing more satisfying than being home, putting your feet up, and not having to do a lick of cleaning.

Find your signature cozy home scent

Your signature scent is a scent by which other people recognize you. It's not just any scent, though—it's the one that works best with your personality and makes your day better. It also boosts your mood, garners you compliments, and can even help define who you are as an individual.

The holidays are upon us, and if you've got a house full of people to entertain, then you know that candles and fabric fresheners are practically a requirement for creating all the cozy, winter feels.

The problem is that most candles and air fresheners are made with artificial and synthetic fragrances that can leave your house more toxic than festive. Our non-toxic holiday candles and sprays are a heavenly alternative!

We want you to feel good about your fragrance, which is why we make all of our scents from 100% plant-based ingredients and free from parabens, phthalates, petrochemicals and other synthetic ingredients. No petroleum-based mineral waxes and no lead wicks.

Now that's fragrance you can feel good about!

When it comes to staying motivated, it’s always nice to mix things up. What better way to accomplish this than by getting out of your comfort zone for a little bit? Do whatever makes you feel fulfilled—it's all about finding what works for you. You’ll feel better about yourself and be more productive if you take advantage of your time.

Don't let the cold weather hold you back!
