Waking Up Slow: A Cottagecore Morning Routine for Spring
As spring breathes new life into the world, it invites us to slow down and appreciate the beauty of simple, intentional living. Inspired by the comforting charm of cottagecore , this blog is about creating a slow, mindful morning routine that nurtures you from the moment you wake. I chose this topic because mornings can either fuel or drain us—and in a fast-paced world, embracing a soft, thoughtful start feels like a radical act of self-care. With Ever Lasting’s cozy bedding, timeless loungewear, and calming home essentials, bringing cottagecore serenity into your mornings becomes effortless and beautiful.
1. Wake Up With the Sun
Instead of a harsh alarm, let the soft, natural light of spring wake you gently. Swap out heavy curtains for airy linen drapes, inviting a delicate morning glow. Embracing cottagecore means connecting with nature’s rhythm, and waking naturally sets a slow, intentional tone. Sleep on breathable cotton sheets that feel fresh and comforting against your skin.
- Tip: Leave your curtains slightly open at night so natural light can gently nudge you awake the cottagecore way — no harsh alarms needed!

2. Create a Morning Nest
In true cottagecore spirit, savor the first moments of your day by lingering in a cozy "morning nest." Surround yourself with plush quilts and textured throws, layering softness around you. Read a few pages of a classic novel, jot down morning thoughts, or simply listen to the birds outside while wrapped in comfort.
- Tip: Layer different fabrics like cotton, linen, and lightweight knits to build a nest that's just as charming as it is comfortable. This will also help bring the cottagecore vibe to your space!

3. Begin with a Gentle Ritual
Start your cottagecore morning with small, grounding rituals. Brew a pot of tea or coffee in a favorite handmade mug, letting the simple ceremony awaken your senses. Create a cozy spot with Ever Lasting’s rustic linen table runners or soft throw pillows, transforming everyday moments into something special and full of care. After all, cottagecore is all about soft and slow living!
- Tip: Take breakfast outdoors if you can — even a small balcony or open window can bring that fresh cottagecore feeling to your meal.

4. Welcome the Outdoors In for that Cottagecore Vibe
Let nature become part of your slow morning routine by throwing open a window, feeling the breeze, and listening to spring sounds. Fresh-picked wildflowers in small vases brighten up Ever Lasting’s neutral-toned bedding and tabletops, embodying the simple, nature-loving aesthetic of cottagecore.
- Tip: Start small by placing a single vase of wildflowers by your bed or breakfast table — a little greenery goes a long way.

5. Move Your Body Softly
Cottagecore mornings call for gentle, intuitive movement—stretch by a sunny window, flow through soft yoga poses, or stroll barefoot through the garden. Dress in Ever Lasting’s natural-fiber loungewear, designed for ease and comfort, allowing you to move freely while staying connected to the cozy simplicity of the cottagecore spring morning.
- Tip: Keep a few “happy clothes” nearby — think breezy dresses, soft linen sets, or cozy cardigans that instantly lift your morning mood and are perfect for cottagecore vibe.

6. Set an Intentional Mood for the Day
Cottagecore vibe is all about slow living. Before diving into daily responsibilities, set a peaceful mood. Light a soy candle, play an acoustic playlist, or mist a calming linen spray over your bedding. Reflect on how you want your day to feel—slow, cozy, joyful—and carry that cottagecore mindset with you long after morning ends.
