Hi friends! This week for Top Pick Tuesday, I wanted to share a few items that help me to feel cozy at home. We are still under a stay at home order where I am, and I am finding it more important than ever to feel comfy cozy at home AND focus on self care - two things that I think go very well together.
Top Pick #1: YJ.GWL Super Soft Faux Fur Bedside Rug
Whether you put this rug in your bedroom, your bathroom, your kitchen, your entry way, etc, you NEED this rug! We all love soft things (including our pets!), and there is nothing quite like having your bare feet on a faux fur rug that feels like a dream (especially if this is what you step on first thing in the morning)!
I had been looking for an inexpensive white faux fur rug for quite awhile, and finally purchased this one after ads kept popping up for it on social media ;) And, I am so happy that I did follow the recommendation because this rug is just incredible. It is super duper soft and fluffy, the perfect accent piece for any room, and it is easy to clean since it washes well.
Plus, it comes in a variety of sizes and colors! If you want a fun embellishment for a specific room, this is it - the color choices available are awesome. Plus, this rug comes in four different sizes. I actually have the smallest version since that is what I was looking for, but I really like that you have options and I may add more to our home down the line!

Top Pick #2: Chesapeake Bay Joy + Laughter Candle
If you have been following along with me for awhile here on the blog, you know that I am SUPER picky about my candles. I have very high expectations for candles - I have tried out many many different brands, and many have fallen short.
That said, I am a HUGE fan of Chesapeake Bay Candles. I tried these out finally a few months back, and they check all of the boxes for me. First and foremost, the throw is perfect on this brand of candle. I tend to need a good balance with the throw (the intensity of the candle smell) - I don't want a candle to be obnoxious, yet I do need it to flourish in the space I have it in. While I love the ambience of candles, let's be real - I have three young kiddos and a dog, so I need my candles to be potent and do their job to make my house smell nice :)
I adore all of the scents that I have ever tried thus far in Chesapeake Bay Candles - and in particular, the Joy + Laughter scent. This scent says that it is reminiscent of cranberry dahlia - and to give you a better idea of that, it reminds me of a fantastic red wine with fruity and floral notes! It just gives you a cozy and relaxed feeling when you smell this (like the feeling of sipping on a lovely glass of wine at your favorite winery!), which is why I am so drawn to it. I love curling up with a good book and a warm blanket with this lit in the background.
Different size/price options are available here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N0RSCW2/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B01N0RSCW2&linkCode=as2&tag=lifestyledbyj-20&linkId=9e80bbc14933a436c39f91bb56c4d2b4.
Top Pick #3: Make Yourself Cozy: A Guide for Practicing Self-Care
If you love a good book like me, you need to add this to your collection! The title of this book truly says it all - Make Yourself Cozy is about slowing down, making yourself a priority, and finding joy in the little things that make us happy.
This book is a fantastic compilation of easy ideas on how to prioritize our mental health. While I think the ideas in this book are always fantastic to consider, I think they are more relevant than ever as we all have been facing extra stress and anxiety over the past weeks and months.
Make Yourself Cozy is such a fun and easy read, and will put a big smile on your face and make you all around feel good. It brings to mind such easy ways to unwind and relax that I don't necessarily think of because I don't slow down long enough to do so. As someone who personally has a terrible time relaxing, I can always use some inspiration and encouragement to slow down, cozy up, and make time to truly unwind and recharge.
You can grab this book that feels like a big warm hug for only $6.99 here - it gets nothing but 5 Star Reviews on every single site that I have ever checked out: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1449493688/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=1449493688&linkCode=as2&tag=lifestyledbyj-20&linkId=1d531afa2a30327209399c657f7f7dbc.
