The Cottage Life reflects our collective desire to escape the chaos
of modern existence; to live with more purpose, more compassion and
more joy. Â The Cottage Life is an essential guide to slow
and simple living, inspired by the magical world of cottagecore. To
follow the cottagecore aesthetic is to wear secondhand clothes that
tell their own stories; to bake fresh bread and cakes, no matter
how wonky the outcome; to spend time in nature, to observe and draw
the plants, to breathe freshair and to connect with species beyond
our own. It is taking the time to notice the seasons change, or to
turn off your screen mindfully and pick up an old novel instead. It
is lighting a fire on the first cool night of autumn and sipping a
fresh cup of tea by the fireplace, or watching the first spring
leaves unfurl after the long, dark winter. Celebrating the small
joys in life, from the first birdsong of the morning to the taste
of ripe plums on a summer afternoon. And, above all else, it is
learning to slow down, connect with the world around you and be a
more compassionate, conscientious citizen of the earth. Â
Each chapter explores different ways of embracing the cottagecore
lifestyle, such as interacting with nature, eating seasonally and
getting creative. Inherently low-impact and green, cottagecore
embraces reuse and recycling and celebrates an old-fashioned
no-waste ethic. Fortunately for most, possession of a country
cottage is not essential to embody the cottagecore spirit. With
guidance on nurturing your home and small touches for interior
decoration, The Cottage Life brings country living ideals to any
space. Â Cottagecore is much more than a fashion trend or
social media bandwagon. It is a peaceful protest against the darker
elements of modern life—The Cottage Life is a gentle embrace with
the past, encouraging you to truly enjoy the present and nurture a
brighter future. Â Â
