The Art of Simple Living: Embrace Cozy Spring Days in the Countryside | Cottagecore Habits

For everyone who finds beauty in simple living and cottagecore — spend a peaceful countryside day with me, from early morning garden moments to transforming our gazebo into a cozy spring retreat filled with homemade food, sewing, and the gentle joy of everyday life.

This slow living video is about turning an ordinary day into something meaningful. From gathering small bouquets in the morning to restoring a gazebo after winter, I share simple routines that bring warmth, comfort, and a sense of home.

In this countryside cottagecore vlog, the story unfolds naturally: cleaning and preparing a space, cooking a humble meal outdoors, baking a strawberry cheesecake the next day, sewing a tablecloth from second-hand fabric, and finally transforming the gazebo into a cozy place filled with flowers, tea, and soft spring light.

🍽️ In the gazebo, I cook a simple countryside meal — fried young potatoes, fresh eggs, and garden greens picked straight from the backyard.

🍓 The next day begins with the soft sound of a vintage radio as I prepare a homemade strawberry cheesecake.

🪡 I sew a tablecloth from thrifted fabric and bring new life to the space with handmade details.

🌸 I visit local neighbors’ greenhouse to choose flowers and decorate the gazebo, creating a warm and inviting place to rest.

🫖 In the end, everything comes together — fresh flowers, a new tablecloth, tea on the table, and a homemade dessert, creating a cozy countryside atmosphere.

🍓 Strawberry Cheesecake with Jelly

Crust:
• 250 g biscuits
• 100–120 g melted butter

Crush the biscuits into fine crumbs, mix with butter, and press firmly into the pan. Chill for 20–30 minutes.

Filling:
• 350 g cottage cheese
• 300–350 g cream cheese
• 200 ml heavy cream
• 120–140 g powdered sugar
• Vanilla
• 12 g gelatin + 60 ml water

Blend the cottage cheese until smooth, then mix with cream cheese, cream, sugar, and vanilla.

Soak gelatin for 10 minutes, gently warm until dissolved, cool slightly, and mix into the filling.

Pour into the crust and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.

Topping:
• Fresh strawberries
• 1 packet strawberry or clear jelly

Arrange dry strawberries on top. Prepare the jelly with slightly less water than instructed for a firmer texture.

Pour a thin first layer of jelly, chill for 15–20 minutes, then add the rest and refrigerate until fully set 🌷
