In the middle of February, if you’re in the Northern Hemisphere, you are deep in the cold of winter. The holidays are over, and spring feels like a lifetime away. It’s cold up north and you’re working your way through the doldrums of winter. When the weather feels like this, it’s so easy to get deep in your feelings and down in your thoughts. Everyone goes through emotional ups and downs, but winter can sometimes feel the hardest.
1. Wake up and see the sunrise
There’s nothing more wonderful to us than slipping into your luxury silk robe, opening the shades and letting the first morning sunlight pour through the windows. Catching the sun first thing in the morning is a beautiful way to rise with Mother Earth. It sets the tone for the day, bringing a sense of deep calm and power to your intentions for the day. Let the Vitamin D boost your mood right from the break of day!
2. Watch something that makes you burst into uncontrollable laughter
Laughter is always the best medicine. If you need a little pick-me-up, turn on a comedy podcast or old sitcom that always makes you howl. Searching for laughter is an easy way to boost your mood and bring a little more levity into your day.
3. Feel the softness of your luxury silk robe against your skin
Your women’s silk robe is meant to be fully experienced, and that means paying attention to the way it feels against your skin. It’s 100% Mulberry Silk and luxuriously soft. Let it bring you extra comfort and joy every time you wear it, giving your skin a little hug and making you feel like you’re floating on a cloud.
4. Smell freshly cut flowers
Is there anything more wonderful than the smell of flowers? We love florals at KIM+ONO and have used nature as inspiration for every single one of our flower kimono robes.
5. The ritual of lighting your favorite candle
Let a little bit of light in for a beautiful spark in the dark.
6. Gifting someone else their new favorite Azumi Kimono Wrap

Need we say more?

A smile from a stranger can go such a long way. Give one and you might just get one back.
