Hey There!
I'm Alina Wells
Welcome to my cozy living seasonal lifestyle blog, where I share my love for all things fall and winter. I created this space as a way to express my own enjoyment and passion for slow creation, creating a cozy atmosphere in my home, cooking up tasty seasonal meals for my family, living gently, and snuggling up with a good book during the colder months.
Making It Wells blog is tailor-made for women who enjoy exploring new books and seasonal domestic activities, who are passionate about creating a cozy atmosphere where one can enjoy life instead of just rushing through it. A place to pause a moment, refresh your holiday inspiration, and hopefully feel encompassed by the warmth of a hug and a warm pumpkin spice latte.
Join me in my journey of autumnal bliss and let's explore the wonderful world of appreciating the little things together!
The Origin Story
Her fascination with
colored leaves- obsessive.
Her love of pumpkin spice- infinite.
As a creative entrepreneur, I am driven by creative fervor and the spontaneity of being inspired by the muse and a new idea. When it comes, I get such feelings of elation and excitement that I must-at-all-costs-chase it. Such is the nature of passion! Making It Wells was founded because I am an autumn (and if you know, you know). I wanted to build a community where fall/winter girlies can unite and create to the beat of our seasonal drums.
My Three Passions
I'm so excited to share the passion projects that breathe life into my soul.

Daily Rituals
Jesus, honesty and integrity, that nature heals the soul, that books are portable magic, and that there's nothing quite as soothing as a warm cup of tea or quite as beautiful as the month of October.
Morning devotionals, bullet journaling, feeding my family, putting words to the page, hugging my husband, lighting candles, making several cups of tea, night reading, asmr.

of autumn in the breeze."
