Bringing a little bit of nature into your home is one of my favorite ways to feel grounded and calm. It doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive—just a few small touches can make a big difference. Here’s what works for me:
Add Plants: I’ll be honest, I can grow anything outside, indoor plants I am not so great at, but I keep trying! Even a couple of low-maintenance plants like pothos or snake plants can brighten up a room. Herbs are a perfect way to use a sunny windowsill. They’re great for improving air quality, too! I love the feeling of having something alive and growing in my space—it’s like a little reminder to take care of myself.
Use Essential Oils: There’s something so calming about earthy scents like cedarwood or eucalyptus. I’ll pop a few drops into a diffuser or even sprinkle some on a warm washcloth in the shower for an instant spa vibe. Citrus oils are my go-to when I want to feel uplifted.
Simmer Pots: Have you tried these? They’re such an easy way to make your home smell amazing. I sell a variety of them on the site, all natural & full of goodness. They are a great way to add some humidity when the air is dry. They're cozy and smell so good—perfect for those cold winter days.
Get Outside: Even if it’s freezing, I try to step outside for just a few minutes. There’s nothing like fresh air to reset my mood. Sometimes I’ll take my coffee or tea out with me and just breathe—it feels so grounding, even if I don’t go far. We started walking every day (or night) for just 30 minutes and it's incredible the change it's made for us. I feel like even a drive during the winter can lift my spirits. And, of course, I spend a few minutes morning and afternoon taking care of our farm animals. It's the most peaceful time of my day, even if it's muddy and cold!
I hope these ideas inspire you to bring a little more nature into your life. It doesn’t have to be perfect—just a few simple things that make you feel good. For me, it’s about creating a space that feels calming, alive, and connected to the world outside. What are your favorite ways to connect with nature at home?
