Sukoshi Ogoru - Little Treats
January, 2021
In an effort to practice gratitude and intentional, slow living during these difficult times I have been thinking about all of the little treats and pleasures (or sukoshi ogoru) that I have been enjoying this month ≖‿≖
Like a lot of people who are sheltering in place in parts of the world where the days have grown shorter and colder, this month's sukoshi orgoru are all about embracing the cozy winter vibes and snuggling up at home.
Check back every month for a sukoshi ogoru round up of books, games, drinks, and nibbles to inspire your kawaii ikigai lifestyle. ❤

Fluffy Socks
Fluffy Socks with Kawaii pastel hearts
One of the great things about working from home is that I don't have to wear shoes! But, at this time of year, you need something to keep your feet warm and I absolutely love these fluffy slipper socks. They feel so hygge and come in such kawaii designs.

Oversized Sweater
Style Dome Women's Oversized Jumper
I am really enjoying lounging around in super soft, oversized sweaters at the moment. This pastel peach jumper is super kawaii and perfect for snuggling up with a book and a hot drink while watching it snow outside.

Dried Flowers
100% Natural Dried Lavender
Dried Cotton Stems 20pcs
Bringing nature in to the home can be a great way to add a little zen and feel a little more connected with the outside world during winter. I am really loving the dried flower aesthetic and have spread these throughout my lounge and work space. This dried lavender brings a lovely subtle splash of colour and smells amazing. Paired with these cotton plants you can make a simple, affordable, yet striking arrangement.

Drink: Popcorn Latte
Monin Popcorn Syrup 1L
I love seasonal flavoured lattes and one of my absolute favourite little treats this month has been making myself a popcorn latte using this delicious and decadent monin syrup. The smell is pure winter indulgence. Why not add some whipped cream and really go all out? ( 〃..)

Game: Animal Crossing New Horizons
Animal Crossing: New Horizons (Nintendo Switch)
Since buying this game at Christmas I am totally obsessed. It truly is the perfect game to relax and switch off during lockdown. I can't wait to discover what new content there will be when the seasons change.

Book: Wintering by Katherine May
Wintering: The power of rest and retreat in difficult times (Katherine May)
This book explores the natural ebb and flow of life and the importance of slowing down in those inevitable moments of illness of grief. The book is beautifully written and hugely relevant at the moment. The personal stories of hardship and illness can be a little intense, so not the best choice if you are feeling a little fragile, but overall the book is positive and inspiring. Teaching us to find joy in the slow moments and rejuvenate our minds and bodies during difficult times.

Just like Japan, this site is a haven of contrasts; kawaii & otaku, travel tips and wanderlust, and mindfulness & self-improvement. So, stay a while and tanoshi! 楽しい
