There’s something magical about slow Sundays in winter. The world outside is chilly, your to-do list can wait, and the kettle is calling your name. At Milkshake Living, we’re big fans of creating rituals that turn your space into a sanctuary — especially when the weather begs you to stay in.
If you’re craving a little calm and comfort, here are our favourite winter rituals to help you embrace the art of slowing down.
Light it up (softly)
Start with a little ambience. Flick on a warm lamp, strike a match, and light your favourite candle (we’re partial to the PINK MINT ones). Soft lighting instantly transforms a room — and your mood. It's the glow-up your Sunday deserves.
Make a cosy cup
Whether it's chai, hot chocolate, or a strong flat white, a warm drink in your favourite mug is non-negotiable. Bonus points if you sip it slowly while wrapped in a blanket with socks on. You’ve earned it!
Restyle a corner
No need for a full-blown makeover — just a little zhuzh. Swap out your art prints, restyle a shelf, or move a chair to face the winter sun. Small tweaks can breathe new life into your home and shift the vibe for the week ahead.
(Psst… our framed prints under $60 are perfect for easy little updates.)
Sink into something slow
A chapter of a book, a feel-good playlist, or that stack of Sunday magazines you keep meaning to flick through — now’s the time. Let your brain stretch and wander. No pressure. Just pleasure.
Create your own Milkshake Moment
Run a bath, pop on a hair mask, or just lie under a heated throw doing absolutely nothing. Rest is productive. And if you happen to have a beautiful print hanging nearby while you do it? Even better.

Your home is your haven — and winter is the perfect excuse to lean in.
So this Sunday, give yourself full permission to pause. No rushing, no guilt, just good vibes and even better rituals. You bring the tea, we’ll bring the art.
