Description
This book is a celebration of all the simple pleasures of hanging out at home. Written and illustrated by fellow introvert Elizabeth Gray (@thegraytergood), it's filled with musings about the cosy, creative adventures to be had in the great indoors. Inspirational quotes, self-care tips and light-hearted activities and journalling prompts remind you that lying low is cool-and actually healthy for you. The book also features unique bonus items to enhance your indoor fun, including a window suncatcher cling, drink coasters, a bookmark and nail art stickers all designed by the author.
Reviews / Votes
In addition to embracing the homebody lifestyle, the book acts as a manifesto of mindfulness. It issues calls to rest and relish quiet moments spent with a good book, or in the adult equivalent of a blanket fort. It's as much about connection to one's self, reflection on priorities, and engaging in activities that bring one joy as it is about the location where those things happen. Its cozy hodgepodge of advice, encouragement, and reflection space complement its overall tone.-Sarah White, Foreword Reviews
"Calling all cozy queens! This gem celebrates staying in and soaking up all the little joys of your own space."
