The November Playlist: Songs for Slow and Cozy Days

Hello Ladies,

There’s always something different about November. The air feels quieter, time moves a little slower, and everything seems golden, brown and orange. It’s the month of cozy corners, early sunsets, steaming mugs, and playlists that wrap around you like a soft blanket.

I’ve been spending my evenings putting on scented candles, pulling on my thickest blanket, and letting music fill the quiet - curating a collection of songs that sound like cinnamon and feel like falling leaves. So today, I’m sharing my November Playlist - the kind of music that makes you want to slow down, take a deep breath, and enjoy the simple moments.

Whether you’re working from home, cooking something warm, journaling by the window, or watching the light fade behind the trees, this playlist is your background to all things cozy and content.

November, in Sound

This playlist is for the quiet in-between moments - the ones that never make it to social media but matter the most. It’s for rainy mornings, candlelit nights, comfort food, autumn movies and everything in between.

Put it on, pour yourself something warm, and let November hum and sing softly in the background.

Love Always,
