CFG's Favorite Things: Cozy Recommendations
Warmer days are coming, but cozy season is lingering. Today we’re sharing all the ways we’re taking advantage of the last gasps of winter wonderland while we’re still hunkering down.
Things to Get Absorbed In
The Residence is a satisfying, twisty detective show about a murder of a White House staff member- in the middle of a state dinner.
Gisèle Pelicot’s memoir A Hymn to Life: Shame Has to Change Sides is heavy but essential reading.
For light and inessential fun, an annonymous team member swears by watching Love is Blind.
Things to Savor
Cindy’s current favorite thing to cook is this brothy chicken and rice. She recommends halving the soy and doubling the ginger.
Cold weather calls for soup, and this instant pot lentil soup has been on heavy rotation all winter long.
It’s still hot chocolate season, so why not take the excuse to stop by Mother Dough and indulge in a treat?
Things to Do
It’s the perfect time to get away up North! Cindy highly recommends the winter trifecta of skiing at Lutsen Mountain, saunaing at Sisu + Löyly, and staying at Tallens Stuga.
For an escape closer to home, Watershed Spa is the best way to spend a few hours soaking away the winter blues.
There’s nothing like learning a new skill. Why not take a class from the Minnesota Center for Book Arts, like how to screen print on fabric or an introduction to hand bookbinding?
Things to Get Cozy With
Comfy socks can make or break a lounging experience. Stop by Umei in the North Loop to find your new favorite pair.
If you’re looking to create a bathing ritual of your own at home, why not pick up some zero waste bath salts from Sebesta Apothecary in Northeast Minneapolis?
Puzzles are the perfect indoor activity for these last cold days. Why not put together a stunning one like this Frank Lloyd Wright “Peacock Rug” puzzle available from the MIA store?
