It&#8217;s a concept that encompasses our individuality, the things that we love and things that we love to do, whether that happens to be reading alone by candlelight or surrounding yourself with loved ones.<\/p>\n<p>What are some cozy ideas that are original and unique to you?<\/p>\n<p>1. I love to play the piano by candlelight. We have this perfect little piano nook that we\u2019ve covered in twinkle lights. I could play all night.\u00a0\u2014 Bethany Jepsen Tutungi<\/p>\n<p>2. After a long work week I look forward to waking up early on Saturday just as the sun is beginning to rise. I watch the light enter my kitchen windows as the coffee brews, and the house is still quiet. It makes me feel cozy and inspired for a new day full of potential.\u00a0\u2014 Monica Devine-Haley<\/p>\n<p>3. Since my heritage is part Norwegian, I love the Norwegian word for cozy which is \u201ckoselig.\u201d Koselig to me is heading out on the trail with my husband and our snowshoes, coming back to a fire in the fireplace, and warming up soup to eat with whole grain bread accompanied by red wine. \u2014 Sue Kaufmann<\/p>\n<p>4. Listening to a thunderstorm rage outside while I am safe indoors \u2014 even better if I am also reading a mystery (Sherlock Holmes stories are the best). \u2014 instagram.com\/aearhen<\/p>\n<p>5. I have a long list of moments from my life that I feel the coziest like when my mother laughs, and I mean really laughs \u2014 the kind where she throws her head back and her cheeks seem to swallow up her squinting, watery eyes. When I stroll though flea markets and catch a whiff of that old book smell, or when the smells of spearmint and tobacco pipe find each other and I am gently reminded of a late loved one.<br \/>\n\u2014 Steph Busenbark<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"im\">And there are even more ideas you&#8217;ll want to melt into inside\u00a0<em>The Cozy Issue<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>But to get the rest \u2026<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><em>The Cozy Issue<\/em> will be available on newsstands November 1, 2018.
