create a cozy and sustainable home this winter
As winter approaches, transform your home into a warm, inviting space. Here are some tips:
stop drafts
Seal gaps around windows and doors to help to keep cold air out and save on energy bills.
add indoor plants
They improve air quality and add freshness to your space. Snake plants, spider plants and peace lilies are particularly effective.
maintain humidity levels
Using a humidifier to prevent dryness will help make your home warmer and more comfortable.
layer with soft furnishings
Use rugs, heavy curtains and flannel or fleece sheets to add warmth and texture.
embrace Danish hygge
Surround yourself with things that make you happy, like books, blankets and a warm cup of tea.
optimize heating efficiency
Make sure your heating system is serviced and working efficiently. Consider installing a programmable thermostat to regulate the temperature and reduce energy consumption when you’re not home.
use draft-stoppers
Place draft-stoppers at the base of doors to prevent cold air from entering through gaps. This small investment can make a big difference in keeping your home warm.
cook at home
Use your kitchen to cook warm meals and bake. The heat from the oven and stove will help warm up
your home, and the smell of fresh food adds to the coziness.
add area rugs
Lay down area rugs, especially in rooms with hard flooring, to add warmth underfoot. They also help insulate the floor and keep rooms cozy.
use thermal curtains
Install thermal or insulated curtains on your windows to help keep the cold out and retain the warmth inside. This can be especially effective during the night when temperatures drop.

5 ways to maximize your closet space
Organizing a messy or cluttered closet makes it easier to find your clothes, creates space and makes the whole room look neat and tidy. Here are some closet storage ideas, tips and tricks to help maximize space in your closet.
use shelves to optimize space and add decor
“Adding wooden or wire shelving to your closet is a great way to increase storage for items like shoes and other non-hangable items,” says Katie Linnen, storage and organization merchant for The Home Depot Canada. “Wire shelves are perfect for letting things like linens breathe, while wooden shelving is sturdier for heavier items. Installing adjustable shelving systems, like the models from StyleWell, provide maximum versatility to display accessories, and keep your totes and bins organized.”
hang things the smart way
Hang your garments efficiently with a few of these tips. Use two
rods at varying heights to hang twice the number of items. Use the highest-level rod for long items like coats and dresses. Smaller hangers and specialty hangers can be used for ties, scarves and belts to keep them organized and accessible.
use baskets and bins
Baskets and bins are an effective way of storing smaller items like jewelry, linens, pajama pants, accessories and other items that don’t require hangers. Bins can be stacked and hidden in shelving to keep your closet looking neat and organized.
keep your shoes tidy
Store your shoes with one from each pair facing in opposite directions to help maximize space. Put them in shelving or cubbies or get a shoe rack to keep them organized. There are also shoe storage solutions that can be mounted to your door or wall, angling downward to give you a clear view of what’s on the rack or shelf. Shoe boxes are
great for keeping dust at bay but are usually bulkier and take up more space. Rods can even be installed on your wall to hang your high heels from, creating a cool and organized look.
use drawers to organize large and small items
Drawers are a great option for storing towels, pants and anything else that’s foldable. Plus, they slide away neatly for hidden storage but still give you access when needed. You can even use the top of the cabinet as another storage area. ■

support your mental health this year
The holiday season – and heading into a new year, while often joyful, can also bring heightened stress, anxiety and even feelings of loss or exhaustion. It’s a time when the support of others can make all the difference. Here are a few tips to safeguard your mental health and extend care to those around you during this busy season and beyond.
1. Move your body. Exercise, even when it feels like the last thing you want to do, can be a powerful tool for boosting your mood. Just 15 minutes of aerobic activity – whether it’s a brisk walk, a dance session in your living room or a quick jog – can release endorphins that help alleviate stress.
2. Seek professional help. If the holiday blues become overwhelming, professional support is just a call away. The Government of Canada’s 211 hotline provides 24/7 access to mental health professionals who can offer immediate help and connect you with local resources tailored to your needs.
3. Reach out to someone you trust. Don’t underestimate the power of connection. Confide in a trusted friend, neighbour, coworker or family member about how you’re feeling. A simple coffee date, a video chat or even a phone call can make a world of difference. Sometimes, just knowing someone is there to listen can lift a heavy burden.
4. Give back to make a difference. The simple act of giving, especially to those in need, can quickly help shift your mood to feeling more positive. Every second, a person receives food assistance from World Vision Canada, for example, in partnership with the World Food Programme. It only takes seconds to give, and your gift will be multiplied seven times, so $15 that feeds a child for one month will grow to $105. Turning hunger into hope will help anyone feel better.
5. Practice mindfulness and selfcompassion. During the hustle and bustle of everyday life, take moments to slow down and focus on the present. Mindfulness exercises, such as deep breathing or meditation, can help reduce stress. Remember to be kind to yourself; it’s okay to take breaks and set boundaries to protect your well-being.
6. Practice gratitude. Taking time to acknowledge what you’re grateful for can shift your perspective and improve mental health. Whether it’s a small daily practice or a heartfelt thank you to someone who’s made a difference in your life, focusing on gratitude can foster resilience and a sense of peace.
