Hey, it's Mariel Cigarra.
You're listening to Life Kit.
The other morning, I was wide awake at 5 a.m., which is unusual for me.
I was jet-lagged after a trip to Poland.
And it was dark outside, so I lit some candles and I took my time getting up.
This simple act of sitting awake with the covers over my legs, surrounded by the glow of candlelight.
It got me really excited for fall and for winter.
Lighting candles, it's such a cliche winter advice, right?

Actually has a profound impact on your experience and changes the meaning of winter darkness.
I know that it's hard when the sun doesn't shine as much as it did all summer.
And the rain can be a drag for sure.
But I'm telling you, this time of year offers so many opportunities to be cozy.
On this episode of Life Kit, how to get cozy this fall.
And to be clear, that doesn't mean just sitting at home waiting for spring.
But it is about embracing the changes that are coming, whether we like it or not.
