A Guide to Winter: Chic Winter Princess

| Blondi's World ~ Issue No.9 |

Winter is here, and with it comes the most charming season of the year. It’s the perfect time to lean into extra cozy settings, vintage-inspired details, and the softest moments of joy. We’re dreaming of days wrapped in pastel blues and ballerina pinks, sipping peppermint hot cocoa, while listening to Blondi's favorite: Dean Martin croon “Goodnight Sweetheart” on a vintage record player. ❄️💙

Here’s our guide to making this winter one to cherish, with all the rosy cheeks and cinnamon-scented magic a chic winter princess could hope for.

1. A Winter Soundtrack for the Soul

There’s nothing like the warm crackle of a vinyl record spinning classic 1950s Christmas music. Blondi’s favorite? Dean Martin, of course—the perfect serenade for gingerbread house decorating or a snowy evening by the fire.

• Create a playlist featuring “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” and “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.”
• For movie lovers, revisit timeless classics like White Christmas and It’s a Wonderful Life for that nostalgic glow.

2. Cozy Beauty Routines

Winter calls for a little extra care, and there’s no better time to feel your most pampered.

• Nails: Treat yourself to a timeless French tip or a festive crimson red manicure. Don’t forget to nourish with Nail Nectar for strong, healthy nails all season long. 💅
• Skin: Keep rosy cheeks soft and hydrated with Bonbon Vanille Huile Corporelle. It’s like a warm hug for your skin, with comforting notes of vanilla and marshmallow. Oh, and by the way...we meant your 'other' cheeks ;) lol.
• Fragrance: Layer soft scents like cinnamon, cocoa, and blonde sugar for a signature winter aroma.

✨ Blondi Tip: Apply your favorite lotion or body oil after a hot shower and spritz your scarf with perfume for a lasting touch.

3. Seasonal Sips & Sweet Treats

Nothing says cozy quite like a steaming mug of peppermint hot cocoa or a frothy vanilla latte. Pair your favorite drink with a gingerbread cookie or a slice of chocolate cream pie for the ultimate indulgence.

• DIY Cocoa Bar: Set up a tray with mini marshmallows, candy canes, and whipped cream for a sweet afternoon treat.
• Bake Together: Make decorating gingerbread houses a tradition—it’s messy, fun, and oh-so-charming.

4. Winter Wonderland Aesthetics

Let the magic of the season inspire your surroundings. From shabby-chic décor to twinkling sugarplum fairy lights, create a space that feels like stepping into a holiday ballet. 🎄🩰

• Decorate with pastel blues, baby pinks, and pops of cream or crimson red for a vintage holiday vibe.
• Layer cozy throws, add a touch of lace, and light vanilla-scented candles to evoke the warmth of a 50s Christmas dream.
• Hang a wreath on your door and let Rudolph guide the way for all who visit!

5. A Little Merci Goes a Long Way

As the season of giving, winter is the perfect time to pause and express gratitude. Whether it’s writing a heartfelt letter or gifting a curated vintage treasure, spread joy in thoughtful ways. 💌
