As winter settles in, we turn to the little comforts that make the colder months special. From snow-covered landscapes and the warmth of a crackling fire to nostalgic scents and seasonal favourites, Nancy Xu shares her personal take on embracing winter and the holiday season.
How do you embrace the hibernation season?
From layering up to movie marathons and spending more time cooking, there are so many ways I embrace the winter season. While summer is about stripping back and keeping things minimal in the heat, winter is a moment to indulge in all the little comforts.
Does winter have a scent?
Having grown up in northern China and Canada, I love the smell of snow in winter. There's something incredibly fresh and cleansing about the cold air, almost like a brain freeze that clears your mind.
But winter also smells like a good fire. The scent of burning oak is one of the coziest sensations. It feels like being enveloped in a warm, airy blanket.
Finish this sentence: Nostalgia to me is…
A beautiful and existential kind of melancholy.
Who would you give Nostalgi to this year?
Everyone! Who doesn't love the comforting scent of gingerbread, orange and cloves? It's winter nostalgia in a bottle.
And what are you secretly hoping to unwrap from the BB's Holiday Collection?
A set of the White Forest Hand Wash and Body Lotion, along with the Body Serum. It's my favourite for keeping my skin hydrated through the winter months.
