Jennifer Lopez shared how she achieves peak coziness at home

Jennifer Lopez revealed that she takes numerous measures to create a cozy atmosphere during the holiday season. In a holiday-themed episode of her newsletter On The JLo, Lopez shared some of her "favorite things" of the holiday season, and it seems the multi-hyphenate is all about comfort and "hunks" this time of year.

Lopez shared that she is at home preparing for the holidays after finishing her latest film, Atlas. J. Lo wrote about celebrating with her newly blended family as she is now joined by husband Ben Affleck and his three children. It seems that Lopez had self-care at the forefront. In fact, she recommended a trio of calming items you'll probably want to grab for yourself.

One of her favorites is the Le Labo Candle Discovery Set, which she gave to a few lucky people in her “inner circle.” Of the three earthy and homey scents included, Lopez has a clear favorite: the cult favorite Santal 26, a warm blend of amber, coconut, vanilla, cedar, spices, musk and sandalwood. “I am absolutely obsessed with the Santal 26 scented candle,” Lopez wrote. “It is the signature scent in our home.” This trio of mini votive candles makes a great gift for anyone in your life who loves a calming, cozy atmosphere.

Lopez also highlighted The Pocket Classics as one of her favorite things. The book contains selected writings and teachings from Thich Nhat Hahn, the late Vietnamese Buddhist monk Thiền, whom Lopez called “one of the most influential and beloved spiritual masters of our time.” The collection was a “good introduction” to his work, she wrote. “He passed away recently, but he left behind all the wisdom of Buddha-nature that one could hope for in any of his books,” Lopez wrote. "Every time I pick one up I always find something helpful and memorable. I read a few pages every night and I think it's a great gift for anyone who needs a little inspiration and guidance every day." (In case you didn't know, Lopez is into daily affirmations and even incorporates them into her beauty routine.)

The Shotgun Wedding star also called out two super-luxe wool blankets from Hermès. Ironically, the blankets have four-figure price tags, but Lopez bought them hoping they would be reminiscent of a less expensive blanket from her childhood. "We didn't have a lot of money, but it was the blanket I had from when I was 6 until I was a teenager and I loved it so much," Lopez wrote of her former favorite. "It was red, orange and white and it was my version of a Snuggy. Growing up in New York when it was cold, there was something so comforting about that warm blanket on my skin."

Now her family seems to make fun of her love of an itchy blanket, "but it reminds me of my childhood," she shared. "I think it's chic and a throwback to the Bronx at the same time," she wrote. "I know everyone likes soft and plush blankets that feel like you're sleeping on a cloud, but I encourage you to give it a try, especially in this cold winter we're experiencing. I promise it will keep you so warm!!! You won't regret it! Then again, maybe it's an acquired taste. If you want to take her suggestion without making such a big investment, you can get the cozy one Purchase a Connections wool blanket from indigenous wellness brand Eighth Generation or the Marta Merino wool blanket from LinenMe.
