Meanwhile, let’s dream big while we snuggle under a blanket with a cuppa and a good book!
OK, so maybe it’s not that cold. It’s still not what we're used to in the Pulp Neighbourhood, though, right?!
Cold morning swims vs recovery ice baths, beanies vs sunhats, trackies vs speedos. It’s a game of comparison. But the way to get through the coldest part of the year is to double down on warm thoughts, create a Winter Wonderland in your own home, and keep a part of your brain free for future memories of Summer! Sound complicated? Not really!
Tag along for a rundown and see how it can all unfold …
Kinto Kronos Double Wall Cups!
Double wall cups are superb for keeping a 200ml cuppa soup/tea/coffee/milo warm! Sip’n’slide under the blanket on your sofa. Fill up your cup. Get that dog-eared book out from the bookshelf. You’ll finish it today! Turn on your “Cosy Cottage in the Rain” playlist, and you’re pretty much set for the evening.
It’s heat-resistant, dishwasher—and microwave-safe, and designed in Japan. Could you ask for more from a thermally superior cup?! Wethinks not!
Sip, plan and ponder future solstitial activities while you warm your nose to your toes. Snug as!
Nunu Check Towel
More than suitable for both after a hot shower or a cooling dip in the ocean. Nunu’s towels are kind of amazing either way. All good if you’re an ice swimmer! Great also if you’re into saunas!
Just daydream about the smell of jasmine in the air, sweat on your brow and mosquitoes at night while taking one’s leave from the antidote to chilly nights: an oh-so warming steamy shower/bath.
In red ochre, navy and honey, pure 100% cotton and 70cm x 140cm. Oh whatta towel, whatta towel, whatta mighty fine towel.
Etikette Candles
The Ancient Egyptians got it right when they invented candles. They used animal fat (and no wick!) to burn a flame to keep light and warmth. But we’re here with a more modern candle solution to achieve atmospheric light and make things warm and well-protected from the cold!
Veritably, if the heat can’t come to us, we’ll manifest it in the form of literal fire. Clever stuff, right? In a range of delicious and evocative smells (for example, orange and vanilla, cactus flower, coastal moss and sea salt), 175ml and crafted in Adelaide, these candles might even want to make you never want to see the face of Summer again! Hmm, OK, we won’t overstep the idea, but at let’s least be happier in the chilly evenings while patiently waiting for the first signs of Spring, Fans of the naked flame never had it so good!
Not Long Now
An Island in the Sun is what we are. But it’s Winter Sun at the moment! No biggie! We won’t wish away the Winter just yet, but the fast track to Summer days is just up ahead. Yup, the Spring hurdle is closer than you think, and meanwhile, towels, cups and candles will act as a ‘bookmark’ for your future sunny ‘n’ warm self. xx
