Soft Girl Hobbies

One of my goals at the beginning of this year was to spend less time rotting in my room. However, as a Taurus and self-proclaimed rest and relaxation connoisseur, I was reluctant to join the hyper-productivity bandwagon and add a 6am wake up and mandatory spin class to my daily routine. Therefore, for the past six months I’ve been testing out several new hobbies that offer a calming respite from day to day life without being too intense. Below is my recommendation list for pass times perfect for any girl who strives to live a soft life.
Soft Girl Walks
Similar to Hot Girl Walks, but with a playlist of Lana Del Rey and Mitski playing out of my airpods (perhaps I should rename this to Sad Girl walks?!), this year I discovered that going outside and getting fresh air is, in fact. good for your mental health. Start with a chilled 10-15 minute walk a day, and eventually you’ll begin tracking your step count to make sure you hit those 10k steps.

Crochet/ knitting/ sewing
With sustainability being a generation defining issue, learning how to make your own clothes and accessories is not only cost effective but also great for the planet. It also means you’ll have a piece that’s completely unique to you! Why not crochet a cute coquette bow bag or a cherry print top?

Become a Pink Pilates Princess
If you’re anything like me, the very idea of attending a gym is a frightening thought. Despite never entering one myself, I imagine them to be scented with sweat and Lynx body spray and filled with aggressive gym-bros giving leering stares. A pilates class or even following a home work out video seems like a much better way to stay fit and healthy, and gives you an excuse to purchase the pink Lululemon work out set and water bottle coveted by any Pink Pilates Princess!

Reading
Whether it’s a Regency romance novel or a self help book, taking time out of your day to enjoy a good book is the perfect relaxing and enriching hobby.

Baking
I know all of us girlies love buying a sweet trend at the end of a hard day, but why not bake your own sweet treats instead? From iced cookies to cupcakes to macaroons, the possibilities for cute coquette creations are endless!
