Embracing Slow Living in the Countryside | Finding Cozy in Simple Days: Cottagecore Habits

As the rain fades and calm returns to my countryside home, I spend a quiet October day preparing the garden for winter, cooking with pumpkins, and finding warmth in simple moments. 🍂
Slow living, cozy fall routines, and handmade touches — a gentle rhythm that connects us through calm days, soft light, and the art of cottagecore living.

✨ In this video:
• Autumn garden work — gathering fallen leaves, washing walnuts, and trimming peony branches
• Harvesting pumpkins and cooking a rustic countryside stew with seasonal vegetables
• A cozy break for tea made from marigolds and linden flowers
• Homemade pumpkin purée & baking by candlelight during a power outage
• New sewing tools, embroidery stand & warm indoor atmosphere
• Reflections on calm evenings, flickering candles, and gratitude for the quiet rhythm of life

🍁 What this vlog is about:
This film captures the beauty of slowing down in October — when the air smells of wet soil, when power outages turn evenings into candlelit calm, and when even small routines feel meaningful.
If you love cottagecore, simple living, autumn home aesthetics, or peaceful countryside routines, this video will feel like a gentle breath of warmth and light.
