Hello and welcome to my blog, A Lotus Girl. If you suffer from boredom or stress and anxiety in your daily life and are looking for an outlet, this post is for you! Our topic today is the cottage core lifestyle, so let us review it together!

What is a Cottage Core ?

Cottage core is an aesthetic style that encourages a lifestyle that aims to live slowly and in harmony with nature in search of calm, serenity and peace as well as living in the moment in the present and finding the “flow” of living. Therefore, followers of this lifestyle live in the countryside, away from the crowding of cities and the distractions that cause stress and negative overthinking. They always strive to enjoy the little things that surround them and add a romantic touch to their lives.

Activities and fashion of the Cottage Core style

The European character dominates this style, especially the late eighteenth century period. Which inspired the style’s fashions and traditional activities such as knitting, baking, drawing, reading, gardening, and pottery making…

The spread of the Cottage Core style on the Internet

Thus, the cottage core style has spread online in recent times, and its content has increased, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic, because imitating it represented a way to escape from the pressures of daily life.

Is this lifestyle for you?

It should be noted that the ideal image surrounding this style is controversial. This lifestyle is not suitable for everyone in that it is considered, to a certain extent, a kind of luxury: living in the countryside, enjoying nature, and practicing hobbies -also doing what you love for living-without being exposed to many kind of pressures directly . In addition, not everyone prefers to often isolate themselves in the countryside. However, I personally find that setting aside a little time and doing some activities inspired by this cottage core lifestyle can be beneficial, fun, and relaxing in our lives.
