It’s okay, you can admit it. You’re just the cozy type and if your boss would let you, you’d totally wear your jammies in to the office every day. Summer has now officially turned into fall, winter knocks, and it’s even more tempting to ensconce yourself in all things soft, fluffy and cuddly. As the trees begin to bare their branches and snow lingers in the forecast, we are reminded of crackling fires, warm sweaters and mugs of steaming coffee. Luckily, you don’t have to risk your employment status to get into the cozy spirit.

Here are a few ways for you to get cozy in Manitoba.

Flickering flames

Nothing screams cozy like the crackle of a fire. Manitoba is home to countless candle makers offering unique scents, cool packaging and quirky names to light up your fall.

Shifting seasons

Whether it’s the changing of the leaves or watching soft snowflakes fall, there is nothing cozier than the year’s colder months. Canopies of red, orange and brown cover the sky in fall, while blankets of pure white cover the ground in winter making for stunning scenery all over the province.

Steamy mugs

Sipping something warm is the ultimate way to cozy up those insides on a cool fall day. Head into one of numerous hip, funky coffee spots for a cup of joe, mug of tea or bowl of hot chocolate.

Awesome abodes
