❄️ Winter Can Suck It
How scent, rituals, and a beachy mindset help me get through the hardest season
Let’s be honest... I f#@*ing HATE WINTER!!
I’m a salty-air, toes-in-the-sand, beer in my hand, long beach days kind of person. When summer ends, it hits me hard. The sunshine fades and so does my tan. The days get shorter. And I start counting down the days until I can throw on flip-flops and not three layers of fleece.
And I know I’m not alone.
Winter has a way of making everything feel heavier. If you’re someone who thrives in the sun and craves warm breezes and bright skies, this time of year can feel like one long, gray blur. That’s why I created a new seasonal scent, something lighthearted, comforting, and just a little cheeky... to help carry us through:
Winter Can Suck It.
🧁 Meet the Scent That Fights the Seasonal Slump
This isn’t your typical cozy winter scent. The Winter Can Suck It diffuser blends creamy buttercream with refreshing mint. A playful, uplifting combo that’s both comforting and energizing. Think: vanilla cupcakes meets frosty air… with a little side-eye at the weather forecast.
It’s sweet but not cloying. Fresh but still warm. And totally unexpected.
Buttercream adds that nostalgic, cozy base, soft, smooth, a little indulgent.
Mint brings in the wake-you-up clarity, crisp, clean, and invigorating.
For Your Car, Your Home, Your Sanity
Whether you’re stuck in traffic or hibernating at home, this scent is like a bright little reminder that sunshine still exists, even if it’s just coming from your diffuser.

🧠 Why It Works: Scent + Ritual = Magic
Science shows that scent is one of the most powerful ways to trigger emotion and memory. Just a hint of coconut or salt air can transport you to your favorite beach without leaving your house.
Pair that with simple winter rituals, like playing your go-to beach playlist, throwing on a hoodie that smells like sunscreen, or lighting a candle that reminds you of a summer bonfire, and suddenly winter feels a little less endless.
It’s not about pretending winter doesn’t suck.
It’s about creating your own little micro-escape within it.
🌴 My Winter Survival Kit
Here’s what’s helping me fake my way through until spring:
-
A diffuser in every room (car, home, bathroom — yes, really)
-
Island Girl Body Mist in my hair daily
-
Sunshine + Saltwater playlist on loop (Stick Figure, Slightly Stoopid, The Green, etc.)
-
Planning a warm-weather trip — even if it’s six months away
Because sometimes, the best way to beat the season is to rebel against it.
With buttercream. And mint. And the belief that flip-flop season will be here before we know it.
