FREDERICK, Md. – November 06, 2026 -- Sass Magazine's Nov/Dec 2026 COZY Issue is out in a digital edition and replaces the annual Holiday Issue with a focus on the season itself.
Founder and Publisher Kim Dow said the November/December issue has traditionally been a holiday edition. This year, she hoped readers would "embrace" whatever cozy means to them a little more.
Two local B&B owners headline Women to Watch
The feature "The Women Behind the Welcome" profiles Savannah Mitchell of Sunday Mornings at Savannah's and sisters Selena and Lettie Wilkes of Elmwood Farm Bed & Breakfast. It looks at how they build guest experiences through thoughtful details and personal touches.
The Cozy Girl Lifestyle gets a closer look
The issue examines the Cozy Girl Lifestyle, a movement built around intentional living, meaningful connections and quieter pleasures. Related pieces cover cottagecore living, fall and winter fashion, the joy of missing out (JOMO) and 10 ways to "cozymaxx."
Recipes, DIY and a local Q&A fill out the issue
Readers will also find soup recipes, DIY projects, an after-work reset guide and advice on navigating the slower season in business. "Cozy Comforts" is a Q&A with three local women on creating comfort and confidence, from finding a place to call home to prioritizing personal wellness.
Seasonal content and holiday gift guides are available online. Readers can become Sass Insiders to access subscriber-only content and support the magazine's coverage of local businesses, people and stories.
