Feeling blue during these slow, dark, winter months? Look forward to the month of February with these 10 bucket list items.
The winter months can be mundane, especially after the holidays. It often feels there is little to look forward to as the days are dark, cold and passing slowly. Integrating simple but enjoyable activities and plans with friends and family can make the winter days feel a lot brighter.
This post is all about cozy bucket list items to make your February a little more enjoyable.
1. Cozy Cafe Hopping
Cafe’s may just be one of my favourite places. The smell of coffee, the cozy aroma all while sipping on your favourite warm drink. Trying different cafes are one of my favourite things to do no matter the season- especially when it’s cold out. Discover local cafes near you. Bring a book or your Bible, spend time journaling or catching up with a friend.
2. Book Club
Books are always best when shared with a friend. Start a book club with friends or family and schedule weekly meet-ups to discuss your favorite parts of the story. The winter months are the best months to cozy up with a blanket and a book. Here are a few of my favourite reads from 2023.
3. Bible & Brunch
I always find my favourite moments are time spent with friends and sharing good food. Host a brunch with close friends while sharing your faith journey, spending time in the word, and praying for one another as you embark on differing seasons. Winter can often feel like a lonely season, so be intentional about bringing friends together and creating a space for God and community.
4. Movie Night In
What is cozier than a movie night in? Make your favorite snacks and cozy up with a good, light-hearted movie or show to end the night off. My favourite show at the moment is The Chosen, showcasing the gospel and Jesus’ life and ministry. This show always warms my heart.
5. Love Letters to God
February is the month of love. Who better to write love letters to than the person who is love Himself. Journaling is one of my favourite ways to record my prayers to God. Write out your prayers to God this month.
6. Treat Your Neighbours
Baking is one of my favourite activities- not so much the process of baking but the result. Bake a warm, sweet treat to share with a neighbour this month and spread the love.
7. Paint Night
Get creative with a paint night. Capture some inspo and start painting while setting the mood with your favourite drink and some music. Although fun, this can be a relaxing activity to wind down and end off your week.
8. Family Night In
Set aside time with family this month! Spend time playing board games, watching a movie or cooking a meal together. Whatever you and your family do best- do it together.
9. Flower Arrangements
I love a fresh bouquet, but I love creating and arranging my own florals the most! Grab a few bouquets and friends as there is much to go around and create a floral arrangement for yourself this month.
10. Treat Yourself
In theme with the month of love, show yourself some love and set aside some time for yourself. Spend time relaxing, taking care of yourself, and resting. Painting my nails, a hot shower or bath, some time reading my Bible and listening to worship music is my perfect recipe for resting and relaxing.
Bring joy into your month by intentionally scheduling activities to stay cozy, spend time with loved ones and share acts of love with others.
