At-home habits I practice that have made me happy in 2021

Do you have a list of things you do at home that just color your world and make life such a delight to do?

Well, I do and I'm excited to share them with you!🖤

Recently I watched a vlog on YouTube of a lady who made a list just like this and it inspired me to sit down and make mine.

After doing this I realized just how rich my life is doing things that hardly cost me any money but bring me such a great return on my investment in them!

My darlings these simple things make me so happy that while putting down this list for you I had a smile on my face the whole time! Have a look and maybe you'll find your happy thing too!

o Watching YouTube videos - calm, peaceful, quiet style, subtitled videos that Japanese and Korean YouTubers love to make always have a way of putting my worries to rest. I enjoy them so much and every time I watch them I walk away feeling so healed and relaxed. I mean this post was even inspired by one said Japanese YouTuber. See what I mean? haha Aesthetic unboxing videos are another favorite that make me look forward to treating myself to nice things-which is a very vital thing when it comes to pampering yourself. And finally Vlogs are a must watch for me because they inspire me to want to do more living-life is to be lived!

o Brewing tea and hot spicy cocoa - I wouldn’t be a matcha blogger if I didn’t love me some tea time!hahaha On cold days or early mornings, I love to brew myself some spicy cocoa, or a matcha white chocolate and sip on it while cozied under my covers watching a mystery movie. It’s simple little practices like these that just light up my life.

o Spending time with God - my faith is the biggest part of my life and having that time with God is the one thing that makes me the happiest on this list. It’s just so healing and revitalizing! So thankful for it.

o Chilling with my siblings and dramatically reacting to movies - every time my brother comes home on a break from boarding school, he my sister and I stock up on action movies and sit down to go absolutely crazy over them. The dramatic stunts and explosive scenes that usually defy the laws of physics are where we lose it! We laugh so much and do the whole fist-over-the-mouth “yooohhhh” thing every time it gets wild. We LOVE it. When the movie is a bit of a mystery you’ll usually see someone run to press pause and request we go into analysis mode to try unravel the mystery. It’s usually so much fun with all the laugh out loud moments, jump out of your seat tense scenes (my sister literally flies off the couch-I’m not even exaggerating) and we just have an amazing time! Love making those memories with those two!

o Reading Japanese Manga and Korean Manhwa (webtoons) - ahh nothing quite like those dramatic out of this world stories our East Asian friends tell so well that leave me happily tickled, deeply engrossed and rolling around in a puddle of happy feels while following a love-line in the story. I’m a girl who will happily miss meal time to enjoy a good read. So for sure this is a must have on this list.

And that's just a little look at my top faves. I really hope this list gave you some inspiration to find joy in the simple things. Perhaps you can now sit down and make a list like this of your own! You just might be living your best life and you don't even know it!🖤

Always cheering for your happiness,

Cathy 💚
