Hello everyone, welcome to my slow living cozy vlog.
Summer has finally arrived in Somerset with super hot weather and in this video I want to show you
how I continue to stay cozy even in the Summer.
My favorite ways to keep cozy all year round are books and coffee.
There's something really comforting about this drink.
Today is one of the hottest day of the year - over 30 degrees so
I decided to treat myself to yummy iced coffee made with coconut milk.
Perfect cozy drink for this hot weather:)
Like always i light couple of candles. I'm obsessed with candles but you can't
blame me. My family makes living out of the small candle business we run here in Somerset
and we couldn't love it more. Books are on top of my cozy list. My favorite books are thrillers
and horrors. I love spooky vibes all year round. Currently I'm re-reading the David Hunter series
by Simon Beckett. I began reading it back in 2008 when I moved to UK.
This crime thriller series about a forsenic anthropologist is one of my favourite stories.
It's been many years since I read the first book "The chemistry of death". I
don't remember many details how it ends or who was the culprit, so I decided to start with it first.
Summer days are super long and warm, so I'm making the most of them
going for forest walks almost every day. The forest is like my second home and I
dream that one day I will have a home in a forest or at least close to it.
Forest is the best place to really tune in with the nature and the seasons. Ever evolving but
somehow calm and peaceful. Right now nature is abundant and the forest feels so alive.
I'm so thankful to witness this beauty every day because I realize that not everyone is so lucky.
Walking in the forest, holding hands with my love
and watching my children play around is the quintessence of peaceful and good life to me.
One of my slow life ambitions is to become a gardener. I'm pretty much an amateur but this
year I managed to grow my own marrow, lettuce and I even have few pumpkins on their way.
I'm really excited about the pumpkins and I really hope they will grow.
Making salad with lettuce grown in your own garden is deeply satisfying. My family never had a garden
and my parents are typical townies. Not sure how I developed this love for gardening
and despite many fails I keep trying.
It's funny that I managed to create a fully functioning business in less than a year,
but it took me nearly five years to finally grow some pumpkins.
I'm still not sure if my pumpkins will develop and turn orange but this is the furthest I ever go
and i'm really proud of it. I will keep you updated :)
Thank you for watching, have a wonderful day ♡
