🌸Greetings everyone!🌸

So I know that  the  font  that  I usually use doesn't  look like this, But  I  wanted to use a more fitting and aesthetically pleasing font  for this post!

Today I wanted to show you what I did for my: 

✨Cottagecore themed spring break✨

 If  you don't  know what  "cottagecore" is,. #1 you've either never been on the internet during the spring or summer, or #2 you don't know what  Tumblr or Pinterest are. In that case, here's a post from Paper Mag about what it is and how influencers of the aesthetic feel about it. :

Cottagecore explained: Paper Mag

Anyway, this  spring break  I  really  wanted  to  do  a bunch of  relaxing cottagecore  type things to  get  myself in the  mood  for  spring!

Before I  get into what I did, I wanted  to  show you a playlist that I make  for my break called 🌼🌿"Fairy/elf chill"🌿🌼. This cozy playlist is mostly for baking, pretending you are a hobbit, crocheting, napping outside, walking in  the  forest  or  just wishing you were a cottage fairy✨:

Now that I've shown my playlist, here's what I did this spring!

🧸Monday🧸:

The first thing I did that morning was take a short zoom class on herbs, weeds and their benefits! (How cottagecore is that!)

After that I stretched, made my bed, washed my face and made breakfast.

I was gonna show what I wore everyday for break but I forgot to show what I was wearing on Monday:

🧸lace  scrunchies - made by me🧸

🧸teddy bear nightgown - hand-me-down🧸

For breakfast I wanted to make eggs and toast with homemade 

blueberry jam.

For the jam, the first thing I did was put at least one cup of frozen blueberries in a pot.

I then squeezed two halves of lemon juice in there + 1/4 cup of water.

For sweetener, I used floral clover honey and one table spoon of sugar.

Now, normally jams and jellies would contain ''Pectin' ( Which is what makes them have that  gelatin-like constancy.) Instead, this recipe uses....

Chia seeds as a thickener!

Chia seeds when submerged in liquid, get a strange jelly coating around the seeds  which  is  why  people  use  them  for puddings and jams.

 I put  three table spoons of the chia in the pot . If your jam still looks "watery", don't worry, the chia will solidify once it cools off.

The last  thing I did was mash up the rest of the whole blueberries 

in the pot.

After I mashed it I let it cool and went and made some eggs!

*MMMmmmm eggs...*

And here is the breakfast!

(The toast was  SOOOOOooooo good!!!!)

Here's the aftermath of the breakfast:

*burp*

After breakfast, for the rest of the day I kinda just crocheted while watching reruns of old shows for hours and hours.

The main thing I was trying to crochet was this crop tank top I have been trying to make since last month, and I finally finished it!!!

Before

After!

Here's what it looked like on!

 

I'm sOOOooooo happy with how it  turned out!!!!!

for lunch I had a turkey sandwich and a ginger beer.

🌿Tuesday:🌿

On Tuesday for breakfast I had apple cinnamon oatmeal. 

It was pretty good! 

 (And yes, I do have a 'Gudetama' spoon)

After I ate, I baked some blueberry and strawberry scone bread!

After the oven:

🌿Crochet top - made by me🌿

🌿Petticoat - Amazon🌿

🌿Bandana - Dollar Tree🌿

 

(I really quickly just wanted to say that  this Tuesday was the day that the police officer who murdered  George  Floyd  was  declared  guilty, and I am literally so overjoyed and happy to finally see that  justice  for  the African American community does actually exist . We are one step closer to being seen as humans who deserve respect and justice.🤎✊🏾) 

For the rest of the day I watched asmr videos and relaxing cottagecore based vlogs on YouTube. 

(I'm so happy my room matches the aesthetic.)

🌸

While sitting there I was crocheting a hair bandana! (I'm gonna be crocheting  a lot  this week. get ready...)

Last week I ordered  some things  from  Shein using some of my birthday money and the package came that day. Look at what was in it...

🧝🏾‍♀️ELf EARS!!!!!!!!!!🧝🏾‍♀️

I Definitely HAVE  to paint  them (which I did later that night) but they still look so real!

🌸Wednesday:🌸

Ok, sooooo remember when I  said that I  bought  some random stuff from Shein...... let's  just  say that  this whole outfit is basically what I bought from there:

✨💕OOTD: anime elffl✨

🌸hoodie - Shien🌸

🌸elf ears - shien 🌸

🌸butterfly clips - shien🌸

🌸socks - Shien!!!!🌸

Yes, I did dress as a baby elf princess, and YES this sweater was comfortable!

This  was the day the I fully painted the ears and  OMG  they look so real!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I  don't  know what I was thinking about  with  this outfits but  HEY, 

I looked cute.

To be completely honest, my goal for spring break was to literally live like I was a fairy for a week and this day I really did that.

For breakfast I decided to have a Hobbit  themed "second breakfast " :

Blueberry scone with my blueberry jam, eggs with Trader Joe's shredded "Unexpected Cheddar" on top and grapes + raspberries.

Plus a Korean strawberry milk

which was very very good.🍓

After breakfast, I wanted to watch "Lord of the Rings" since I was in an elf mood.

I watched  the  second one and, MAN, someone needs to give the special FX makeup artist 100 awards because the orcs are the works of my nightmares.

I also finished my bandana!

I also wanted to show my cozy journal that I made in March and have been using during break. This was my  Spring Break Bucket  List  for the week.

For lunch I again had a very hobbit - esque meal, so I had buttenut squash soup with sourdough toast strips!

🐟✨Thursday:✨🐟

That day my family and I wanted to go to the aquarium!

For breakfast I kinda wanted to have a "sea themed" breakfast I guess, so I had smoked salmon on toast with a champagne mango:

This was my first time having a champagne mango. It was really good!

Now for todays outfit!:

🌊✨🌸OOTD: Sea-Bunny🌸✨🌊

✨Hoodie - Shien✨

✨Skirt - Ross✨

✨Socks - Shien✨

✨Mary Janes - Yesstyle✨

✨Shell bag - Amazon✨

✨Mask - Etsy✨

This is the same hoodie I wore on Wednesday but it's waayyyyy too comfortable to not wear again and again!

Later on it  started to  get  cold  so I pulled my hood up and I don't know if you can tell but..... the hood has bunny ears.

So......I definitely got a lot of  weird  and confused  stares but  first of all it was cold, and second of all it is the coziest thing EVER!!!!

(This is how big Emperor  penguins are compared to me. yikes)

Here are some of the fish I saw!:

Real shark! 

(what the heck is this?)

(if you know what this means, you are a true human of culture)

his name is now Timmy!

This fuzzy sea turtle has my whole heart now!

✨Jellies✨

Sea-puppies!!!

After  the  Aquarium, we  got  some  food!

There were  some  shops that  we  wanted  to check out around the boardwalk.

Look at these lights!

🌊Friday🌊

On this day we wanted  to  go to  the  beach  and  just  want  around  for a bit .

Unfortunately, I didn't take a picture of my breakfast, or lunch (we had pokè for lunch) but, here's my outfit!

🌊Hoodie jumpsuit - Oldnavy🌊

🌊Bomber jacket - Forever 21🌊
