She floats out of bed at 5 a.m., eats a strawberry crunch salad for lunch, hydrates with fruit-infused water chilled with round ice cubes, and every item in her home has its place. She exercises frequently, reads daily, and mediates. She’s that girl.
Me? I do wake up early, but instead of hopping on the treadmill and drinking green juice, I scroll TikTok for an hour, where influencers suggest yet another book or game to try as I lament the idea of going to work. For the next eight hours, I’ll be glued to a computer and watching the clock because I work a job that I’m not super passionate about. I’m tired. And the last thing I want to do when I’m done is cook a spicy salmon rice bowl with cucumber and avocado. (I mean, I do, but you know how it goes.) So I order a pepperoni pizza, ignore the dishes, watch television, and scroll until I fall asleep. My body suffers. My home suffers. My mental health suffers. I suffer.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m thankful for my life, and it’s a good one, but I don’t think wanting more is terrible. Does that mean I want to be that girl? Not exactly. But I want to lead a more fulfilling, cozy life, and this blog is to help me accomplish that while taking others along with me.
This brings me to this blog. Why am I here? I enjoy writing and connecting with others, and I want to hold myself accountable as I journey into slow living. As I figure out what that girl looks like for me, I can track my progress, share my successes and failures, and hope others learn, too.
In my next few posts, you’ll learn more about my life, what cozy living means to me, and how I plan to achieve it. I hope this blog helps not only me but also you.
Stay cozy,
Sprinkles
