Hello Cozytober

Hi Selfies! How are you?

For those who are new here, welcome to The Selfish Muva Persona. The Selfish Muva Persona is created to help women become the woman they want to be. Here we protect our peace and choose ourselves first. For me, that doesn't always mean doing something drastic in my life. Sometimes it looks like choosing yourself, like making dinner instead of ordering out, taking a walk before the day really gets started, creating a home you can actually enjoy being in, or sitting down with a good drink at the end of a long week.

That is the kind of lifestyle that I want to share here.

Starting in October, which is now, I will be writing a monthly blog about the topic of the month. This month's topic is Cozytober.

Welcome to Cozytober!

There is something about October that naturally makes life feel a little cozier. The mornings start to cool down, the food gets warmer, home starts to feel a little cozier, and somehow the season gives us permission to slow down just a little.

That is what Cozytober is all about.

Cozytober is a month-long lifestyle series centered on creating comfort, protecting your peace, and being more intentional with everyday life. It's not about having the perfect fall aesthetic or filling every day with seasonal activities. It is about finding little ways to enjoy the life that you are already living.

What You'll See During Cozytober

Throughout the month of October I will be sharing pieces of my real life on social media, from grad school, motherhood, home updates, cooking tutorials, drink making, morning walks, and little routines that make the busy days feel much more manageable.

I will be making some new syrups for Pour Decisions: Fall Edition. Some but not all Peach Cobbler and Salted Caramel. Are you ready for those?

We will have some easy crockpot meals to make for those busy days when we can just throw it in the pot and go to work and come home to a meal ready to be devoured.

That is the whole point of Cozytober.

Life can be busy, but it can also still have soft moments. You can have responsibilities but still make time for yourself. You can be working toward the next chapter while still enjoying the one you are in.

So this October, I am choosing to slow down where I can, enjoy the little things, and make everyday life feel a little more cozy.

Welcome to Cozytober.
