Life can be scary and stressful and hard right now. It has been for some time and while I check my privilege in saying that, I think it’s ok to say we all need to tune it all out sometimes and chillax.

Yeah, I’m still saying chillax, I have run out of f*cks to give. We are sadly eternally powerless in some truly awful things like war and a seeming societal collapse on numerous fronts. Even if we are doing our best to fix other things in life, it’s important for me to find a way to zone all the way out sometimes.

For whatever reason, during the pandemic, YouTube became a real source of mellow mind mode goodness for me, and I keep it as such there for the most part. I get enough drama and politics and stress elsewhere on the web.

Newest to me is this channel, Johanna’s Dream Home, where superwoman Johanna single-handedly refurbished an old cottage to become an adorable “fairy cottage” in Romania. It’s very Liziqui, but in Romania. Her tiny wood-fired stove is the dreamiest.
