The darkness is approaching and the days feel shorter and shorter. Sweden is an incredibly beautiful country and we should be grateful for the seasons we have, but during the autumn and winter months, it is not surprising that it takes a little more to keep energy and mood up. That is why we have some tips for occasions when lighting candles will help you maximize the coziness factor during this season!
For what elevates the cozy atmosphere more than lighting candles now that the darkness creeps in? When the days feel shorter, it's important to brighten the evenings with beautiful light and harmony. A fantastic invention that is becoming more and more popular is the battery-operated LED lanterns. These not only reduce the risk of fire so you can leave the room without worry, but they also eliminate the constant need to replace candles when they burn out. They also have the same beautiful glow as regular tea lights thanks to the flickering flame of the LED light, but require less supervision and maintenance.
But when should you use these LED lights? Well, actually anytime, but we have listed our favorite moments when battery lights enhance the coziness a little extra below!
Tips on good series winter 2023
Series that really draw us into the world of fantasy and make us long to come home from work, studies, or other activities can be the best way to disconnect and let go of all obligations. It is also an optimal time to turn off all the lights and enjoy the glow from all the light flames. During autumn and winter, it can also feel more acceptable to snuggle up on the couch in front of the TV with your favorite snacks than during warm summer days - which makes watching series the ultimate pastime in winter!
No one has surely missed the Game of Thrones sequel House of the Dragon that was released on HBO Max, or that a 5th season of The Crown came out in November last year on Netflix? Don't hesitate to revisit old classics like The Office, Modern Family, Gossip Girl, or why not a few episodes of Sex in the City?
Spa evening with homemade face mask
Self-care has become a trend that probably no one has missed, and it might be the best trend in a long time if you ask us! Because what is better than taking care of yourself, both inside and out? A winter activity where LED lanterns can become your best friend is home spa evenings that enrich both body and soul. Buy a face mask or make your own, turn on a lovely playlist, and let the LED light flames rock you to sleep.
Some ingredients that you can mix together if you want to make your own face mask are for example: Avocado, honey and cocoa, turmeric and honey, banana and honey or oats, honey and olive oil.
M dinner parties with cozy details
A dinner invitation in winter would be nothing without atmospheric candle flames? Keep the cozy atmosphere this winter and decorate both the dinner table, entrance, and other surfaces with LED lanterns and minimize bright light from lamps (perfect now that electricity prices have gone up!). You also don't have to worry about placing battery-operated candles in all the rooms of your home where you don't have supervision since they are completely fireproof.
Yes, whether you want to use battery candles indoors or outdoors, it works excellently! One tip is to place a group of LED block candles on a plate for maximum cozy atmosphere, but it is also very nice to put an LED candle in a lantern outside on the balcony, or at the entrance when dinner guests arrive. However, keep in mind that the lanterns are not made for outdoor use, so for the sake of longevity, it is good if they are brought in after use.
Let's now romanticize this winter to the max. Put on a good movie, pour a cup of tea or bring out your favorite snacks. Arrange a spa evening or invite close friends and family for dinner and let the glow from your battery-operated lanterns raise the coziness factor to the max!
