6P’s 12 Steps to a Warm & Fuzzy Winter
Here’s our 12-step guide to enjoying the holiday indoors this season
To celebrate the season, we made a list (and checked it twice) that is sure to bring you holiday cheer this unusual year.
Come back each day to uncover the next part of 6P’s 12 steps to a warm and fuzzy winter. With many of us staying inside this season, we thought it would be nice to suggest ways we can keep warm and safely try new things, while also supporting local businesses.
It’s also a great excuse to do some last-minute shopping for the people on your list!
We will be adding to our list daily, so be sure to check back or follow along on our social media beginning December 14.

Step 8:
Cozy up in bed with a good book.
Snuggling up in a warm bed surrounded by blankets and pillows is a great feeling – take it to the next level and enthrall yourself in a new book!

Step 10:
Light a candle and run a warm bath.
Nothing soothes the chills like a warm bath.

Step 11:
Get up and move! Do what makes you feel good.
Whether you like to run, dance, lift weights, do yoga, or something else, getting up and moving is a great way to warm up, feel good, and do good for yourself! Don’t let the cold weather confine you – find some inspiration online and move in a way that makes you feel good!
