Why we L💜VE the word APRICITY

It’s easy to forget that winter days can hold a distinct, crisp beauty. APRICITY captures that exact, fleeting feeling of standing outside on a freezing afternoon and feeling the genuine heat of the sun hit your face. It’s an old, forgotten word from the 1600s that deserves a modern comeback.

HOW to Celebrate APRICITY

1. World SNOW Day – There’s nothing quite like experiencing true apricity while breaking a sweat out on the slopes.
2. National COCOA Day – If the winter sun isn’t quite doing the trick, a hot mug of cocoa is the ultimate backup plan.

Put it into a SENTENCE!

“We cut our mountain hike short, choosing instead to sit on the porch and enjoy the pure apricity of the afternoon.”

“Even in the dead of January, a sudden pocket of apricity made the afternoon walk feel like early spring.”

💡 Quick word TRIVIA

APRICITY stems from the Latin word apricari, which literally translates to “to bask in the sun.”
