:๐ฑ๐Tips for CottageCore folks still in school!๐๐ฑ:
Now Iโm no expert or professional advice giver. But, as someone who is also still in school and is very enthralled in the community of CottageCore WarmCore etc etc, Iโve come up with some helpful tips to help you express and try to live your best Cottage life when you still live at home, or are attending school!
๐ 1. Thrift shopping!:
As someone who canโt quite afford the typical lovely and homey appliances/attire thrifting is a wonderful option to find either home made or vintage items/clothing for every day use. Maybe finding a quaint little tea set, or maybe even a beautiful quilted blanket, or a bread maker to make that loaf youโve wanted to for so long! It may take some searching, but thrift stores ca be your best friend when trying to find the material items youโd like to make yourself feel a bit more like youre living your cottage life!
๐ฑ 2. Local Bakery!:
If youโre like me and canโt necessarily bake your own goods, for whatever reason it may be, see if where ever you live has a local bakery or something of the kind. I have one in my own town and find that in comparison, the prices, while realitively the same as a local grocery store, the quality and love put into it is so much more! Most times you can even order specialized breads or loafs for your pleasure, and the satisfaction of having freshly made bread (albeit you did not make it yourself) can add to your cottage-y experience! In addition to that, grab some freshly made pastries too to go with your coffee or tea later in the day or week, many bakeries (if not all) all have some sweets of some kind, and even cakes if youโre feeling up to it. Highly recommend this if youโre really in search of a good way to spice things up!
๐ 3. Cleaning up!:
Ah yes, cleaning. While I know many of us are busy, or simply can not find the energy to take part in a hearty clean up session, I find that even just clearing off your counters, or straightening up your room can be a fine tuned way to making you feel more like your homey and warm cottage-ly inclined self. Cleaning and having a rather cleanly routine can make you feel as if you are helping your home/room become a greater and more personal space, adding your special little touches here and there. Getting some fresh flowers or even just doing up those dishes you forgot to last night. Clearing off your night stand or poperly making your bed. You can always find little ways to make your life while in school just a tad more homey through simple chore-ly tasks.
๐ฑ 4. Open some windows and curtains!:
While the Winter season still lingers around some of us, others are embracing Spring. In this time I highly recommend opening up your windows or curtains, turning on your favourite music, and listen to the nature or sounds outside your home/room. Opening up your space after the long and cold winter, or any gloomy period can be both a relieving and refreshing experience, letting the new light embrace you, and make you feel surrounded and more at peace. Homey if you will. Now some people may not like this and that is totally okay! Do what makes you comfortable, but if you feel the need, open them up. <3
๐ 5. Relax and Read/Drink something Warm (or refreshing)!:
As simple as this may seem, and a simple way to end off my tips, I thought Iโd combine my two favourite tips and things I do on a more regular basis. Reading is one of those things that (I find) can make one super relaxed and feel impressed and warm. Nesting down into your favourite sweater or your favourite blanket, grab a book you like and begin to read. It doesnโt matter how long it will take you, dont worry, just imagine and let yourself go. Pairing this with a nice warm drink, such as coffee or tea of your choice, can truly make you feel a if you are right next to a fire place, cozy in your big chair, with nothing but you and your small cottage, listening to your favourite old tunes as time slowly goes by. I truly, and highly recommend this to anyone not feeling that warm and tingly homey feeling.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thats all!!! I know there arent many tips here but I hope you find them useful! Iโm happy I could share these with you and I hope you can use these in your venture to achieve a more warm and cottage-y life!
Please feel free to add any tips and tricks you have to the list! Iโm sure there are many more of us out there :))
Have a lovely day <3
apologies for not being as active on this account as i typically am, im dealing with a few things that are a bit difficult on me, hope any of you who read this understand โค
when/if school starts back up, i cant wait to bring one of my best frens ๐ปโค we ar gonna have so mush fun
Bring a stuffie with you in your bag! If you donโt feel comfortable having them out/ canโt because of your job or school you can have them in your backpack or bag! Stuffies love playing games in your bag and they donโt mind at all waiting a bit to come back out to play! Stuffies have very good imaginations so they never get bored in there. Plus they like to be there incase you want emotional support! also stuffies can communicate telepathically so even if youโre not with your stuffie you can still talk!
i love how telling somebodyโs favorite flavor of sucker/lollipop is about who they are as a person. tag your favorite flavor mine is strawberry
