my favorite part of your item reviews is when you break down what type of people something would work for and wouldn't. So helpful. Its not just a pro and con its an analysis and so helpful
I absolutely love these videos, always look forward to them. I just made a notion account and am excited to try it out!! Also, my phone fell victim to “hey siri” :( lol
Id LOVE for you to do a video of all your favorite cozy lounge sets! I have such a hard time because my skin is so hypersensitive to fabrics. I usually need cotton or a really soft modal or rayon or cashmere/merino wool in the winter. Its so hard for me to find clothing that doesnt feel scratchy on my skin. You have such cute and cozy looking sets, i’d love to hear your opinions! Comfy clothes are such a huge part of my life, and I’m sure for many others as well
Also Ken, I loved the way you were talking about the podcasts and I’m pretty sure every single one of us is like “that’s you, for us. Everything you’re saying.”
I couldn't agree more about finding a way to incorporate items that we learn about from RUclips, etc. I have a walking pad being delivered today, and I'm absolutely NOT using while I working for the exact reasons you mentioned, but also because I don't have an adjustable height desk. My plan is to use the walking pad while watching TV because I know I'm more likely to get more use out of it that way. Put on my favorite show or a movie and just go for a walk in my living room. Thanks for all the other recommendations and ideas. 😊
I love your videos! Perfect thing to watch on a mellow weekend morning, so relaxing. You have such cozy vibes and I’ve saved so many things you’ve recommended that seem legitimately cozy and helpful. Very good to know about the portable charger and sofa table practically too! Anyway, love your energy and thank you for sharing!
Might seem a bit random of a comment on this type of video but girl I love you! I've been watching your videos since before you did RUclips full time and I've absolutely loved seeing your personality come out more and more. I totally have that feeling of internet besties just chillen with my friend talking to me about cozy things and it's such a comfort. Thank you for just being you and sharing! ❤
Winner, as always, and its so warm to hear genuine care after the community you talk to, with care and genuine intent. Also the hype around small things thats just make life..that little easier is so so appreciated, so many people dont think this is something that would genuenly help them operate better day to day, so much good advice. On another not, Id like to recomend some gorgeous, gorgeous stationary and annotating supplies, the tabs the markers, stickers, the warm and pastel colors, oh my gosh, the store in question is Journalsay and Ive fallen in love with their very affordable stuff, in case stationary is something youd like too explore more for future content too! Take care Ken!
I've been enjoying Happy Color for years, it's so soothing! And I just wanted to say, that thanks to your recent easy cozy hobbies video I picked up a stickers by number book and a paint gem kit and they're so much fun!
I might pick up the rest deck. I've been chronically overworking myself for so many years that I don't know how to rest any more. The we don't reserve to rest unless we do xyz really hit home. Thanks for reminding us to take time to simply exist and do what we enjoy.
Rest is so important! I praise God for His seventh day Sabbath, from Friday sundown to Saturday sundown! It's one of the commandments to rest and spend time with Him! Noo working or shopping for me! ❤❤
Aah, I miss the NYT games but I can't justify supporting their terrible reporting practices 😔 Really, really enjoyed this video & all of the other great recommendations though, thank you for sharing!
You may like the book “How to do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy” by Jenny Odell. Less self help and more social critique-but has some of the same themes as your card deck.
KENNEDY I have been wanting to buy an ipad for a while, but just have no idea how to incorporate one into my daily life outside of work and school... could you give us an ipad tour or something of the sort? I would LOVE to see that
My husband and I play the NYT games together at the end of everyday as a little “us” ritual and it’s so cute. Highly recommend ❤ He actively makes sure we play bc he loves it so much and loves that it’s our little “old married couple” thing (we’re 30 lol).
i really wish there was a colorign app on ipad that was paint by numbers but let you actually color the space in instead of just tapping :( i saw a few but they were $$$
About the accordion lamp, I actually think it would be possible to diy a lampshade like that!! Like if you didn’t need a new lamp you could probably use the metal frame from a lampshade you already have (after you’ve removed the old fabric) and then fold and press the accordion shade and put it on! Or you could probably just make the accordion part and glue it on top if you don’t want to do all that
Okay!! But the way I’ve literally had that slip eye mask on my wishlist for so long and I don’t have lash extensions either and I don’t even like normal eye masks but it just looks like a pillow for my eyes!! You’ve talked me into it 100% now. NEED.😂
What have you done Kennedyyyyy lmaoooo I didn't know about Jelly Cat and now I have to get my coins together to get the huge lavender dragon and huge panda cub. I love your content so much and my two year old whenever he hears your voice he goes Hi Friend!! hahaha
Love that you mentioned Happy Colour! It rly is so relaxing yet keeps the mind busy & creative, i love the little achievement features so all the time put into coloring is counted for & the little Good Cause section they have to contribute to the wrld 💝🌼
I’m in full agreement! Hope my wording didn’t suggest that lol. My perspective is that current society does conflate the two, so not to internalize that your only contribution to society can/should be productivity under capitalism.
@@CozyK happy to hear it! it was more like I was assuming many folks watching aren't aware there's a difference so I wanted to call it out. there there can be liberatory rest while also contributing to society~
I loved the rant about the Samsung tv. I remember when it first came out, I figured I'd mostly use it in the bath, but I only take a bath like a couple times a year so I thought the price per use wouldn't be worth it. I just found out today it's $900? That's a hilarious amount of money for just another screen
I never really understood the hype about this one, and I also think it's an outrageous price! I think it only really would be worth it if you were someone who NEEDED to limit screens in the house, have time with and without screens in certains rooms, and really needed it to be a touch screen. But again, in that case I would go with an iPad or a projector like Kennedy said. Tbh I think that product might be more useful for certain offices or maybe facilities with children for different activities 🤔
I loved this vid but one thang especially hit,...... CREAMY JALAPENO SAUCE!! !GRRL YASSSS! They need to just put it on everything or at least sell it on the side? mmmmm
Ahh, I never comment and I have been watching and loving your videos for 2+ years (here because of Stardew!) 💕 you are consistently my favourite content creators. Thank you for always being that cozy place on the internet that refreshes my soul! I wanted to recommend reading This Woven Kingdom series by Tahereh Mafi, because everything you say in your book reviews is exactly what I think!! Hahaha. Obviously read the reviews and pick up at your discretion. It's not a brilliant work of fiction, but it is super entertaining and easy to get swept into (#enemiestolovers!). Light on plot, big on vibes.
Question. What is the book reflection notebook you mentioned? I do not see it listed in the description. Thanks in advance to anyone who can share what that is.
Me watching this while getting projects done & saving things to my amazon list>>> Love the vibes of your brand and office room✨ My someday goal is to have an gaming/ office as cozy as yours
If you like the convenience of factor, explore cookunity!! The variety in their foods is top tier and they taste sooo good. Same deal, you just pick your foods and microwave them.
39:25 hey love, make you dont have apnea. Cause it is not normal to sleep with your mouth open nor snore. Having apnea affects your sleep due to short breath while sleeping.
OH MY GOSH HAPPY COLOR I love that app! I have it on my Android tablet it was one of the first apps I got for it and was instantly obsessed. So relaxing my mom and I love it!
I did not know that influencers are getting commission from Amazon storefronts. And now I'm side eyeing all the people I follow who haven't been declaring that.
Yeah that’s the structure behind every Amazon/LTK storefront! And any time a storefront link is shared, by law, there should be an accompanying disclaimer somewhere that we get a commission. So, big side eyes lol
You are my favourite English RUclipsr. ❤ unfortunately there are always some product recommendations that I can’t get (easy) in Germany (still crying for the protein matcha latte).. but I still love these vids. I also do sooo many cozy hobbies like video games, crocheting, diamond painting, Lego and co, mini houses and and and… you said you have a notion template for this? Could you share it? I am a notion newbie, but I would love to have something, where i can organise my open projects and so on.. or checking, if I am to buy a LOZ house I already have 😂🙈 I don’t know if you know the little LOZ Houses, but they are cutness overload and little one day projects, but I am obsessed with them like Google for LOZ 1232 🥰 So would be happy to see your creative notion template 🥰🙏
In regards to mouth breathing and sleep patterns, there is a really great book called Breathe by James Nestor. It shows the benefits of nose breathing, the importance of proper breathing in general and there are lot of cool scientific studies, plus it's an easy read.
I procrastinate so hard if I don’t have music to motivate me to do things, so I have a HomePod mini in the living room, dining room, and bedroom. That way I can just ask Siri to play music everywhere!
I just saw this video and I’m so excited to see how you organize your crafts! I feel like I have too many hobbies sometimes and can’t even keep track of everything I want to do
Love this like I love all your videos but especially appreciate your breakdown of the portable TV! Once the price goes way down it sounds like it would be perfect for me, but $900 😵💫
Please say youll make a video about how to create a reading journal on notion! Im trying to watch different videos but they arent very in depth and go so fast !!
I really loved this video K! I just received my Creative Haven coloring book from Amazon along with markers today. As a mom of 2, I've been look for a fun, comforting activity to unwind after they go to sleep. Thank you so much for being an inspiration! 🍄
Love you so much! Thank you for being real and shitting on stuff for us 🤣🤪 I’m honestly so tired of seeing that portable tv because I cannot afford that hahahah
i think you’re the prettiest person i’ve EVER seen ??!! ps. this is a lovely channel, so warm and comforting :,) i appreciated your take on “honest influencing”…it makes me trust your recommendations even more
Omg I was so shocked that you didn’t vibe with the wellness journal bc I have the same one and I absolutely love it! I find the openness of a blank page intimidating so when I need a journal that gives prompts. I’m 2 months in a have barely missed a day! It’s my little ritual and check in with myself 😊 Now I feel weird when I don’t write in it…like was I really thinking I could just keep all my thoughts in my head all this time?? 😅
As a little hater at heart I always wait for the dislikes section :) But fr I love to put your talking videos on when I’m sewing, you are so cozy and calming!!

It’s crazy that I went and grabbed my rest deck and pulled “my body is my teacher.”
Not us being in sync…😅
The devious smirk I had on my face when I saw your name and that this video is an hour long 🥲
everything i didn’t know i needed, sleep mask ✔️
For Android users Happy Color is on both tablet and phone.
Not me getting my tea, lemon water, a snack and into my cosiest pajamas before I settle in to watch this 58 MINUTE VIDEO 😱! How did we get so lucky?
So wonderful, an hour!? Not a better thing could have happened tonight, so excited to see what you have for us 😍
Your hair is slayyinggggg
thank youuuu!
I’m the one who DM’d about happy color!! So happy you love it it’s my fav
thank youu!!! appreciate you!🫶🏽🫶🏽
Id LOVE for you to do a video of all your favorite cozy lounge sets! I have such a hard time because my skin is so hypersensitive to fabrics. I usually need cotton or a really soft modal or rayon or cashmere/merino wool in the winter. Its so hard for me to find clothing that doesnt feel scratchy on my skin. You have such cute and cozy looking sets, i’d love to hear your opinions! Comfy clothes are such a huge part of my life, and I’m sure for many others as well
I love your pancake stack! Coaster? A jar? It doesn't even matter, it's adorable!
candle! it’s from urban outfitters!
Because of you, my entire office is using the desktop glass whiteboard organizer. 😍 Thank you, Cozy K.
My anxiety is telling me that I’d tape my mouth at night, get a cold mid-sleep and stop breathing before the morning LOL
Also Ken, I loved the way you were talking about the podcasts and I’m pretty sure every single one of us is like “that’s you, for us. Everything you’re saying.”
Very much appreciate that honest de-influencing part that so few content creators share!
I couldn't agree more about finding a way to incorporate items that we learn about from RUclips, etc. I have a walking pad being delivered today, and I'm absolutely NOT using while I working for the exact reasons you mentioned, but also because I don't have an adjustable height desk. My plan is to use the walking pad while watching TV because I know I'm more likely to get more use out of it that way. Put on my favorite show or a movie and just go for a walk in my living room.
Thanks for all the other recommendations and ideas. 😊
woahhh 1 hour?? so blessed to hear what you have to share with us!! yay
Can you do a video how you use notion? I’d love to get a visual of how it helps you track books
I love your videos! Perfect thing to watch on a mellow weekend morning, so relaxing. You have such cozy vibes and I’ve saved so many things you’ve recommended that seem legitimately cozy and helpful. Very good to know about the portable charger and sofa table practically too! Anyway, love your energy and thank you for sharing!

Omg! I got a 2-brick Lego container in black a month ago! It looks so cute in your space with the right color! 🧱
Thanks for the recommendation for Lauren's channel, I love it!
You influenced me to get Lego storage lol. I also discovered solo board games, I just played tiny towns today
Strongly recommend The Nap Ministry. Her publications have a special focus within honoring rest.
Those are her books that were mentioned in the video!
I might pick up the rest deck. I've been chronically overworking myself for so many years that I don't know how to rest any more. The we don't reserve to rest unless we do xyz really hit home. Thanks for reminding us to take time to simply exist and do what we enjoy.

Agreed. Staying informed is very difficult when you're not sure you can trust the source.
not me thinking i was going to watch this as part of the bedtime comedown but then getting too excited over book list organization😂
You may like the book “How to do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy” by Jenny Odell. Less self help and more social critique-but has some of the same themes as your card deck.

Love that you mentioned Happy Colour! It rly is so relaxing yet keeps the mind busy & creative, i love the little achievement features so all the time put into coloring is counted for & the little Good Cause section they have to contribute to the wrld 💝🌼
time to make a "to buy" list for myself lol my bday is in a few weeks so feel like i can justify 😂 thank you for another great video Kennedy!!
i think it's important to *not* conflate productivity under capitalism with contributing to society. One is exploitative and one is necessary.
I’m in full agreement! Hope my wording didn’t suggest that lol. My perspective is that current society does conflate the two, so not to internalize that your only contribution to society can/should be productivity under capitalism.

Fun fact that I learned recently, the plural of Lego is Lego not Legos 🤔
no way! the more you know lolol
I loved this vid but one thang especially hit,...... CREAMY JALAPENO SAUCE!! !GRRL YASSSS! They need to just put it on everything or at least sell it on the side? mmmmm
Love the self care stuff. Now i need the body oil... have you or will you do a review of hair products🙏 your hair is beautiful
I included my updated hair routine in my morning routine video! Thank youuu🫶🏽
PS greens powders: just make green smoothie/juices and freeze them. A fraction of the cost and more benefit because of the fiber content❤

lmaoo tell me about ittttt
this was a great accompaniment to my morning routine this morning
my long distance friend group also started doing the nyt games again!! it’s so nice to laugh about it with them everyday and it sparks conversation :)
You are my favourite English RUclipsr. ❤ unfortunately there are always some product recommendations that I can’t get (easy) in Germany (still crying for the protein matcha latte).. but I still love these vids.
I also do sooo many cozy hobbies like video games, crocheting, diamond painting, Lego and co, mini houses and and and… you said you have a notion template for this? Could you share it? I am a notion newbie, but I would love to have something, where i can organise my open projects and so on.. or checking, if I am to buy a LOZ house I already have 😂🙈 I don’t know if you know the little LOZ Houses, but they are cutness overload and little one day projects, but I am obsessed with them like Google for LOZ 1232 🥰
So would be happy to see your creative notion template 🥰🙏
Do you have like clothes hauls?
love this sponsor, love these favorites videos, and your curls look FLAWLESS!! ps. was playing Happy Color while watching lol Happy Color supremacy!!!
This is just what I needed as im packing up my apartment

In regards to mouth breathing and sleep patterns, there is a really great book called Breathe by James Nestor. It shows the benefits of nose breathing, the importance of proper breathing in general and there are lot of cool scientific studies, plus it's an easy read.
Oooo thank you, good to know!
I procrastinate so hard if I don’t have music to motivate me to do things, so I have a HomePod mini in the living room, dining room, and bedroom. That way I can just ask Siri to play music everywhere!
I just saw this video and I’m so excited to see how you organize your crafts! I feel like I have too many hobbies sometimes and can’t even keep track of everything I want to do

I love that coloring app lol

i think you’re the prettiest person i’ve EVER seen ??!!
ps. this is a lovely channel, so warm and comforting :,)
i appreciated your take on “honest influencing”…it makes me trust your recommendations even more
Omg I was so shocked that you didn’t vibe with the wellness journal bc I have the same one and I absolutely love it!

As a little hater at heart I always wait for the dislikes section :)
