Adjusting to the cold weather and short, sometimes dreary days isn’t always easy, and that’s why prioritizing self-care in the winter is so important. We turned to our Printfresh community to help create our ideal winter self-care checklist. Read on and check a few of these restorative activities off your list this season. 

As the owner of a small (retail) business, the idea of taking time off can be scary for me. I had grown accustomed to overworking, and that actually became the source of more stress and anxiety. A few years ago a mentor of mine suggested I start taking Fridays off to give myself a bit of a break. That time was life-changing so I wanted to share that (and some other good tips) for taking time away from work.

The holiday season is here, and for me that means more entertaining. I love having family gather in my home, but I try not to go overboard with party prep. I’m always in search of recipes that are simple to make, don’t require me to spend a lot of time in the kitchen and will please both children and adults. I also love a good brunch – so this year I’m excited to try a brunch charcuterie board. 

We’ve all heard the phrase, “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day,” but managing a busy schedule and still finding time to eat can be a challenge. In need of fresh inspiration for a fast morning meal? We crowd sourced ideas from the Printfresh team – read on for our real breakfast routines. 

Are you settling into a new space or learning to love an old one again? After so much time at home, it’s not surprising that so many of us are changing things up! Recently, we sat down with two of our favorite content creators, Katie Mack and Dee Eke, for some advice on decorating. Both women frequently share scenes from their homes on Instagram, and we are always inspired by their fun and creative approach to decorating their homes. 

One of the things I look forward to most about the cooler weather is baking - specifically with apples. My mom has always made amazing apple pies and my best friend, Tamara, is the queen of intuitive baking. Using them both as inspirations, I was able to find a delicious apple crisp recipe that did not disappoint.

Read anything good lately? It’s a common topic of conversation among the Printfresh staff – and I happen to know our customers are a group of book lovers as well… Just take a look at all of our customers photographed with their latest reads. This month, I’m sharing some of the best books I’ve read lately (or plan to read) – AND including a few recommendations from the Printfresh community that I plan to checkout.
