Cozy Life - Blog Posts

Let us just be our „nerdy“ selfs

Just read all kinds of books and go to book stores

Just play the silly video games

Just watch animes and go to anime stores

Just draw or paint your feelings or make fanarts

Just buying every Merch you can find for your Favorit shows/animes/books

Just obsess over fictional character and look up every fanart and fan fic of them

I’m drinking a pumpkin beer and there’s nothing anyone can do about it 🎃

Lessons learned today: a good life doesn’t always look the way you think it’s going to look. Even if you don’t have all the big things you thought you would have, the little things are pretty damn good

Listening to an audiobook and the narrator just said, “exiting the apartment, she tripped over an envelope” and I can’t get past it. How does one trip over an envelope.

Every year for the Halloween season I go with a “theme” of movies to watch - along with my regulars and maybe some others. This year I’m choosing Scream because I’ve only seen the first three. I remember when the first Scream came out and how iconic it was. I appreciate it even more as an adult

What’s you’re favorite scary movie?

I am introducing my husband to Practical Magic tonight so naturally I got Halloween candy, lit every candle in the house, and made apple cider cocktails

Wilf has my whole heart

I decided to stop posting calories alongside my meals. Again, this stuff is mostly for my own reference to make things easier for myself. Almost like creating a menu for myself to look back on. Anyway, if I post it, it’s somewhere in the range of 350-500. This was lunch- potatoes, peas, and chicken sausage. Yes, I’ve been eating potatoes every day. Because po-tay-toes.

I’m on my third rewatch of Over the Garden Wall this season. It’s fine.

And that’s a rock fact

Todays activity took me to the garden. I sowed some more seeds for the fall - radish, lettuce, and carrots for the third time.

Apparently carrots don’t germinate in temps over 80 degrees. I didn’t find that out until after the second attempt.

I’ll probably do a last harvest of my tiny peppers and giant basil this weekend and then take them out and maybe plant something else for the fall.

Oh and I accidentally grew some pumpkins from the ones I chucked out back last year 🎃

A lovely little breakfast on this (finally) cool September morning

We needed cheap and easy tonight so I got some rotisserie chicken and a baguette from the grocery store and made salad BECAUSE HEALTHY HOBBITS EAT BREAD.

This doesn’t look super appetizing but, my god, it’s so comforting.

Kids playing in their rooms, sick husbo watching One Piece in the living room, gloomy rainy weather, and me - alone in the kitchen- making soup. I like it here.

Healthy hobbits make pizza with their family on the weekends

A cozy little lunch, because healthy hobbits eat their veggies 🥗

A warm mug of Chai tea and Charmed while I work ☕️

Bbq sauce goes weirdly well with broccoli.

Bonus hobbit points - bell peppers and jalapeños came from my garden and I pickled the jalapeños myself

I went for a cozy walk today. It’s hot outside and I wanted to light a candle and walk in front of my tv so that’s what I did. I also downloaded this app that tracks your steps and you travel to fake Mordor, but I’m just using the free trial bc I haven’t decided if I want to buy the full version. With the trial you can only track one mile per day.

We tried to go for an outside walk after dinner but the halflings were being difficult and then we wound up getting in a conversation with our neighbors

I made the same lunch as yesterday but added bell peppers and used sesame sauce instead of bbq to give it a different flavor. It was definitely more filling with the added veg but I preferred the taste of the bbq.

We are loving a simple life so I always cook the meat and prep the veg in a batch ahead of time so it takes less time to cook

This has become a favorite comfort snack, especially when it’s cold. It’s like chicken and stars soup, but it’s homemade and it tastes better. Plus it’s super simple to make

For two weeks I’ve been eating more vegetables and fruits, cutting back on salt and alcohol, and eating less “overly processed” foods. Already I am sleeping better, having less anxiety and heart palpitations, and overall, I’m just feeling better. Huzzah!

Tomorrow I will add more veg to make this more filling, otherwise it was really good. Also, this seasoning makes everything taste good

A cozy little snackeroo. Pro tip, keep those snackie veggies cut and washed in the fridge!
