Since Thanksgiving, with nightly temperatures hovering near freezing, I’ve been inseparable from my winter best friend: my electric throw blanket. This thing is more than a blanket—it’s becoming a lifestyle. Whether I’m curled up on the couch in the evening watching my favorite movies or getting lost in a good book, it’s right there, keeping me warm like the loyal companion it is. And here’s a little secret (don’t judge): even during the workday, you will find me at my desk, electric throw draped over my lap, feeling all cozy while I work. Is it professional? Who’s to say? Is it warm? Absolutely.
Honestly, I may be too attached, but can you blame me? Like Charlie Brown’s Linus, I, too, understand the magic of a good blanket. This is just one of the many perks I enjoy working from home and being the boss of my virtual assistant business. Winter’s chill has nothing on this blanket and me—we’re a team. Plus, it’s made the colder months so much more enjoyable. I’m working, I’m warm, and I’m happy. If there are two things I’ve learned, it’s that life’s too short not to stay cozy while crushing your goals, and Linus was ahead of his time—who knew he was pioneering the future of cozy professionalism?
