This channel is the best example of how simple changes can make a big difference. Benita has such a pure and elegant approach to life. Also, Bonus is such a wonderful name for a cat :)
Aww, this is so sweet, thank you!
@@BenitaLarssonHi, Benita I Agree, whith This coment, how pleasant tips you share,…and I’m so happy for you , enjoing your Zuvi Halo¡ it really madre Greats improvenents on your hair and besides help your mood Thanks a lot and a big warm hug, forma Zapopan,Jal México (Felicidades 😊
Great advice! I always try to use my nicest things to help cope with the shorter darker days - I burn my nicest candles, use my best perfume or bath oils everyday, wear my best silk PJs and cashmere socks etc. Don't save your nicest things (or gifts) for sometime in the future. You cannot pin joy like a moth - so live in the moment.
I love that approach!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I am trying to do this. I’m terrible at keeping stuff for better occasions and it’s ridiculous
I prefer using the nicer things in winter. I am giving up caffeine but decided to bring it back for colder months and let it go in the warmer months.
The candles, the matches, the fairy lights, Bonus, wooly socks, puzzles... on repeat. All winter. That is all... 💚
Makes for a cozy dark season!🙌🏻
Thank you very much for your calming, rational and interesting videos. Watching them makes me feel that in our crazy world there are still sensible people with pleasant approach to life. Your apartment is very nice by the way and very much in my style too 😊
I'm so pleased that you enjoy them!
I am older and haven’t decorated for Christmas in years, except for the odd candle here and there and a very small tabletop tree. Seeing your minimal but lovely decor is inspiring me to add a bit more come December. Thank you .
I’m so happy if the video left you inspired!
I learn so much from you. I, too, live alone, and I appreciate nice things and minimalism/organization. You pretty much are my ideal for how to live a good life. I look forward to every new video, and I am so grateful that you are willing and very able to share your wisdom. Your videos are absolutely perfect in tone and content. I work to emulate you, in order for me to have an excellent life. I have some struggles, due to ADHD and trauma, and not only do I learn from your videos, but I gain important moments of peace. I am so grateful to you for those gifts. Sincerely and with much affection, Danita
Hearing that my videos are helpful to you means so much!❤️
Merci Benita, encore une vidéo parfaite qui reflète vos belles valeurs humaines et nous fait aimer la vie à toutes les saisons 🥰
I live in Southern California. The long cold winter is not coming. As someone who has lived in cold climates, I am eternally fascinated by the Californian need to cozy up. A rainy day prompts a run on soup at the store. Boots and coats come out with the slightest hint of coolness in the air. These kinds of preparations feed the soul, wherever one lives. Thank you for such a lovely, peaceful video.
I think everyone wants to nest 😊
I moved to LA ten months ago and savor the days when the sky is a bit more grey or the temperature drops to the high 60s! So relieved there is a culture of cozying up here in spite of the chronic sunshine
Tip 16: Watch Benita's super cozy winter videos from past years. This video was so warming and I love watching your old Christmas decoration videos each year, such simple but lovely ideas. x
Aww, thank you!
I am currently in labour watching this video, cosying up for homebirth. Thank you so much❤
How exciting! 🙌🏻
Oh my gosh that’s exciting! Best of luck!
I love winter! I feel so much happier during winter than I do during summer, I just can’t handle heath at all. I even put up my Christmas decor already haha minus the tree because I’m getting a real one.. 🎄
Anyways such great tips and what a calming video 🤍
Oooh, you got a head start on Christmas!
The dreaded heat & intense brightness!!
Much prefer the cold & soft light of winter.
@@annecarter5181 exactly the opposite on my part haha, interesting how different approaches people can have
I had a lousy week and halfway through the video I noticed my body relaxed and enjoyed every moment of content. Thank you, Benita for
🌌 brining your community great information and warmth!
Sorry about your week. Happy if my video was a comfort.
The calm atmosphere of your life is so inspiring. Slowly getting there thanks to you. You inspire me so much, Benita!
I’m so happy of my videos leave you inspired!
Oh, this was the loveliest video. I really just sank into the spirit of prepping and nesting. Now I realize there is so much I can do already to get ready for the season - fairy lights on my balcony are the first thing on my list. Thanks again Benita, for another sweet video.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!😊
Wow, I can’t believe it’s a year since you moved into your beautiful apartment. Where has the time gone? Love your latest post, as always really calming to watch.
Yes, almost a year now! Time flies!😅
So cosy! A couple of things I do in the winter (okay, now) is to use the White Company "winter" spray around my house. It smells really Christmassy and I spray it on soft fake fur throws and also on the radiator.
I use lots of little flickering fake tea lights too as I can hide them amongst my plants and not worry about burning them.
Battery candles are just so great!
Thanks a million for this video, it brightened my gloomy Sunday morning here in Poland 🍁🍂
I use shaggy bathroom mats for my cats to lie on: they are cosy and withstand frequent washes 🐱
As I curl up on my sofa with a book or crossword puzzle (love them!) I light a candle, make myself a hot drink and put on some smooth jazz = bliss!
Best autumn wishes, everyone 🤗
So happy you enjoyed it!
You've inspired me to get a move on! I was still in denial before watching this and now have followed a couple of your tips so I can actually look forward to the next season instead of holding onto the last one. Thank you! 🤓
So happy if the video left you inspired!
7:32 i love your little stool covers. I need to come up with something similar for my kitchen
You are a TRUE inspiration for me! BEST video ever! Thank you! Love your cat companion! 🖤🤍
First time seeing your channel and it is so lovely. Going to get some of those candles straight away. Thanks for the cozy vibes.
You're such an inspiration! 🖤
Happy Birthday Benita! ...and winter solstice.
Thank you for sharing your gift for gathering all these purposeful practices, presenting in such a lovely format,...bringing calmness.
Growing up and living in the northwest of Washington your videos are easily relatable, and always look forward to learning something new.
I like your simple way🎄
Thank you so much... Helpful reminder also, as I was reminded about ordering more tea, and I discovered additionally Peach and Chamomile Tea and White Hibiscus and Peach infusions which I did not know about.
Tack Benita! Warm and cozy video ☺️☺️ Will definitely bring this things into my life this winter

My winter at home looks much the same and I always look forward to the coziness of the season. Candles and fairy lights make me all kinds of happy. The balcony looks amazing by the way. Perfect view through such beautiful doors.
Such a cozy season ahead!

I enjoyed watching this so inspiring and relaxing video, I subscribed immediately. This is what I like ! Fine, quiet, simple yet classy place. Love it Benita.
Thanks for the reminder. I'm really missing the sun, so hopefully some candles will help with mood boosting. I just swapped summer caps for toques and gloves in our front hall closet, too! Happy fall 🍁
Happy fall indeed! Candles WILL help!😅
So cozy and calming! I like to start my day with your videos. Have a wonderful winter season!

I'm trying to not dread the cold and dark months as much, so this video was perfect for me. Thank you so much, Benita! ❤
Embrace it and it will be less hard!
I’d love to see a New plants in my closet for fall and winter winter video
Just found this video . I’m so cozy this morning watching her ❤️

I live in a place where there are 4 distinct seasons, which I love. Changing decor for the season is very calming to me and makes my home feel new. Bless you ❤
I completely agree with you!
I love your content, Benita. Thank you so much for this helpful video. 😊x

Benita, this had some very helpful "getting ready for Winter" tips. Thank you so much.
Cheers
I’m so happy if they’re useful to you!
Thank you , needed something me calm today . Love your apartment . Cant wait to see a walk out in Stockholm Autumn and Winter .
Will try and share that!
Thank you for the video Benita. Your apartment is so homely and all the little touches are so pleasing to the eye. I don't think our winters here in Scotland are quite as snowy and cold as Sweden but its still nice to be all cosy at home and especially in our beds. After seeing your candles I decided to display mine too, its lovely sitting in the candlelight reading a good book. See you next time Benita, meantime take care 😄
So happy you decided to bring yours out! Enjoy!
I love jigsaw puzzles, especially in the wintertime. That’s a great tip about using foamcore!
Such a game changer when you need you table for other uses too!
We live in Maine and I always enjoy your tips for a cozy winter season. The sun sets at 4:25 now, the days are still getting shorter and snow is already in the forecast. I do many of the same simple things but you always have a few extra that I enjoy incorporating. Thank you for sharing!!
Thanks so much for watching!
Thank you! I adore the clear and sober atmosphere of your videos, and so cozy of course! Greetings from Estonia where the dark cold season approaches too.
We do seem to have similar seasons!
Very inspirational and lovely video! Thank you, have a good week!
Glad you enjoyed it! Have a great week you as well!
I feel cosy just watching this video! I’ll definitely be following these tips to get ready for winter ❤
I’m so happy you enjoyed it!
I really enjoyed the inspiration from this video! Thanks😊.
I’m so happy if you feel inspired!
🇬🇧 I’m currently in Copenhagen as my husband works here, so I’ve come for a week of shopping. I do love the simpleness of everything and loving the Christmas Markets and the simple Christmas decor x
Excellent ideas as always! The decreasing daylight hours can be hard but having a cosy home and some events to look forward to can make all the difference for me.
It makes such a big difference!
The view from your balcony with all the lights is lovely 💡
It’s like an advent calendar!
Another relaxing cosy video ! Your ideas are wonderful ! The plant looks great around the window 👌! Thanks Benita !! Hey finally got my closet painted ☺️!! Feels so much fresher and organised 💝
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You make the simple become luxurious! So inspiring, thank you Benita for being there and making these inspiring videos! Many hugs to you and Bonus🤩😍😼
So happy you enjoy my videos!
Thank you so much for your time and effort creating inspirational videos for us! We use European style bedding in our home and today you taught me a new way to make our bed, tucking in a beautiful wool blanket over top. What a cozy idea, thank you Benita!😊
So glad you enjoy the videos I create!
I love all your videos, but I can’t wait for your holiday decor one this year! 🌲
Thanks so much for watching!
I 'm always relaxing watching your vlogs. Thank you! 🥰
I'm so happy you feel that way about them!
Oh, that baseboard filling must be SO satisfying!
So satisfying! A few more to go!💪🏻
Oh I love the design of those matchboxes! I had a Swedish friend who gave me a box many years ago and I just refill it. 😊
That’s a great way to keep using it!
Disfruto mucho tus videos son como películas 🎥 gracias Benita ! Es precioso tu hogar😘
I’m so glad you enjoy my videos!😊
I think this is one of my favorite videos. So many great tips. Thank you Benita!
So happy you enjoyed it!
This video is so lovely and calming. I love the idea of embracing the cosy times. I do love candle light
I’m so happy you enjoyed it!
Once again Benita- you’ve captured the essence of cozy- love this video!! 💕
So happy you enjoyed it!
Still smiling several minutes after watching your newest video, Benita! Even in Miami, I appreciate the seasonal change of light, and create fall-into-winter coziness at home regardless of the temperature. Good to know handsome Bonus won't singe his whiskers while wandering near the battery-powered candles. 😻 Your approach to soft, inviting lighting makes for lovely puzzle working, tea drinking, and sofa reading... And love the idea of framing one of your windows with the looong plant vines. Tack for another great video! 🧩🕯📖🍵🧣♥ (emoji overload!)
Thanks for the emoji overload!😆
This was lovely and I always love to see Bonus ❤ I have a candle drawer too and use them all the time even though I now live in Australia. I did buy a set of the electric ones for my upstairs bathroom and that is working out really well. I wasn’t sure if I would like them but they are fine 😊
Thanks so much for watching!
I really enjoyed watching this video. So relaxing and I really enjoyed the music you chose. This makes me want to prepare my home for winter to be calm and cozy. Thanks.
Thanks so much for watching!
I enjoyed watching this video. I will be buying battery operated candles tomorrow. I also got some curtains for my window. These will probably keep my north-facing living room warm.
Love your calming videos and simple ideas that can change a lot! Thank you ❤
Thank you so much for watching my video!
I love your calm, cozy content with special guest Bonus! ❤
Always happy when he’s willing to make an appearance!🐈⬛
A professional job Benita!!! I love doing those projects too!
Thanks so much! Projects are fun!
I love your videos Benita, they bring me so much joy and relaxation 😌.
I’m so happy to hear that!
Lovely video :) Preparing for winter here in Chicago myself. I love the coziness of the season :)
It is a cozy season ahead!
Thank you Benita, as always a really interesting video with lots of great tips. I think I have said before but I find your videos so calming and relaxing to watch, thank you.
I’m so happy you enjoy them!
Mys! I have also incorporated many these concepts here in the U.S. It's neat to see your neighbors' soft lights in their windows and even makes your views look cozy.
The courtyard view in winter is like an advent calendar. I love it so much!
You never fail with some good advice. Looking forward for more. Thank you. ❤
Thanks so much for watching!
what a perfect day you had in Skanson! Lunch looked delicious.
Skansen is always a great place to visit! Rain or shine!
I love this new video! ... But , i love all of them. I aways find so many inspiring things. Thanks a lot for sharing your ideas and projects. All the best, Esther from Barcelona ❤
I’m so happy if you feel inspired after watching!
What a relaxing video with lots of great tips.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you very much for the video,Benita!❤
Thank you so much for watching it!
I really enjoy your channel, and am very impressed by your mastery of video production! I’ve continue to be very inspired. Off topic: You clearly have a gift for languages. I’m intrigued by your use of the personal dative, a semantic construction that is associated with the region of Southern Appalachia in the US. I’ve enjoyed your previous videos repeatedly while waiting for new ones to drop. Brava!
Thanks so much! I do love languages!
Lovely ,lovely ❤❤ keep warm and cosy for the winter
Glad you enjoyed it!
great tips :D I am a summer enjoyer and I definitely need these little details to brighten up dreadful winter
So happy if you found them useful!
Even without a fireplace you manage to make your home very cozy and inviting. Thanks for all the wonderful tips which I will use.
A fireplace would have been amazing this time of year but candles help for sure!
I love the calmness of the video! These ideas are great! I’d love to do these things all year long as self care so my mind is cozy!
So glad you enjoy it!
I’m still working on decluttering and get so much inspiration from your videos. 😍
I’m happy if you find them useful!
Omg, lovvvvvve your channel ❤❤❤, love from Canada 🇨🇦 ❤️. Thanks again, Benita.
Aww, thank you!
I feel so cosy watching your videos! ❤ Greetings from Bulgaria!
So nice (and a relief) to see the floor gaps filled. It makes such a huge difference. Not only keeping bugs and other possible unwanted beings out of your home, but also it adds that finishing touch, which makes for a nicer looking home, warm and cozy. I know it's a big job, but you are doing a wonderful pro job on it. Well done Benita ! 🍃🍂🍁Happy Fall🍃🍂🍁
Thank you! I don’t really get bugs but it’s nice to keep the draft out!
@@BenitaLarsson Oh yes! Of course, I forgot about drafts. I live in the desert in Arizona, so that's not really an issue here lol
This is so enjoyable and esthetic to watch, so inspiring and so much class Benita!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Have to admit its so satisfying to watch the gaps between the floor and walls being filled - you have done some really clean & tidy work there 👏bravo
Thanks so much! It’s pretty satisfying!
Another visually pleasing video with excellent, cozy ideas. You are so energetic and industrious and inspiring. 😘
I’m so happy you enjoyed it!
Love all things Hygge, your place is looking fabulous and the satisfaction of seeing those skirting board gaps being filled 🙌🙌🙌
Such a satisfying project!
The plant along the window looks so good ❤
Thanks so much!
This is my favorite video of yours…….makes me want to get out my candles and wrap up in a blanket with a good book and enjoy the darkness.
So happy you enjoyed it!
