How I take care of myself living alone - a rural tiny home

It’s been a quiet week over here 🤍 I’ve been recently investing extra time in taking care of my health. I wanted to share some ways I cultivate a feeling of comfort in winter. One way I do this is by choosing clothing that makes me feel safe and comfortable in my own skin. I hope you enjoy this simple day of foraging evergreens, pine resin, and making tea, and hopeful affirmations for the new year🫖

* Most smoke resin on a charcoal disc. However, not wanting too much smoke, I put the powder in oil and heated it like a wax melt. The smell is verrry subtle in comparison, but after a few days it adds a layer of pine freshness to my house, since it’s a small space.
