The Story Behind Warm Hug & A Blanket: Finding Comfort in the Chaos

Let me be honest with you: Warm Hug & a Blanket started because I was flat-out exhausted and burn-out. You know that kind of tired where you’ve given every ounce of energy to work, family, and all the things… and then it’s 9pm, you realize you still have to shower, and suddenly the idea of washing your hair feels like an Olympic sport? Yeah, that kind of tired.

For me, that’s been a regular part of life—balancing stress and anxiety, hormones doing their own wild thing, and the everyday rollercoaster of responsibilities. Some nights I literally have to talk myself into the basics: “Come on, shower first, collapse later.” And honestly? What usually motivates me is the thought of stepping out and wrapping up in a hot towel from my towel warmer. Simple. Silly. Absolutely life-changing. It feels like the universe saying, “You survived today—here’s your prize.”

That little moment of comfort is what sparked Warm Hug & a Blanket. I thought, if a warm towel could make me feel human again, maybe I could create other small rituals that help people feel cared for, too.

So here’s the heart of it: every product I make has a purpose. Simple ingredients you can trust. Scents and textures that bring you back to yourself. Nothing fancy or overcomplicated—just those little nudges that say, “Hey, you matter. Slow down. Breathe.”

Because let’s be real—life can be overwhelming. Some days you’re rocking it, some days you’re running on fumes, and some days you’re just negotiating with yourself to get up and pee at 3 am (thank you, menopause). But through it all, we still deserve to feel good. To have those cozy, grounding, “I’m taking care of me” moments.

That’s what Warm Hug & a Blanket is all about. Meeting you where you are—messy bun, unwashed hair, yoga pants, whatever—and reminding you that self-care doesn’t have to be perfect. It just has to feel like a warm hug and a blanket.
