Shop Local: Cozy Winter Scents

Stuff We Love
Jan. 11, 2025

We have entered the White Witch’s version of Narnia, where it’s always winter, never Christmas. (At least until spring starts to appear in March. Or April. Definitely by May. We hope.) So even though the weeks of celebrating are behind us, let’s lean into the colder season with something cozy and comforting. (And no, we’re not trying to sell you on Turkish delight.) Pop into Great Lakes Bath & Body in downtown Traverse City and grab one of their Vanilla Spice products. Choose from a bath fizz, soaking salts, or our favorite, the face and body lotion ($28). This scent is soothing, not too sweet, and smells like holiday spirit—in the best possible way. Find a bottle at 110 E. Front Street in TC or head to greatlakesbathandbody.com to order online.
