A Cozy Autumn Day In My Life | Ordinary, simple day at home in October | Pumpkin soup recipe

An ordinary, cozy day alone at home in late autumn.
I've been travelling this path month, so life seems a little bit more dull after having too much visual and mental stimulation. Days are simpler, doing mundane things, getting back to work and to daily routine. They're kind of boring. But kind of lovely at the same time. I hope you enjoy this slow living video, spending one day at home alone with me.

Pumpkin soup:

1 whole pumpkin (medium size 1.5-2kg)
1-2 red onions
1 whole head of galic
1 tsp of cumin, curry powder, sweet paprika, oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
500-750 ml water or veggie stock
4 heaped tbsp of plain coconut yoghurt or cream (or 1 tin of coconut milk)
Optional - 8g sliced ginger (or 1 tsp dry ground ginger) + zest and juice of 1/2 orange (or lemon)

Cut pumpkin into wedges, onions in half and trim garlic tops. Put veggies on a roasting tray, sprinkle with salt, pepper and olive oil. Roast at 240 C / 464 F for 30 minutes until pumpkin is soft and gets easily pierced with a fork.
Let veggies cool down, then scoop out pumpkin, and add in a big pot together with roasted onion and garlic (squeeze it out of a bulb). Add orange juice, zest, spices, ginger, salt, pepper and liquids. Heat up for about 5 mins just to let ginger (if using fresh) cook slightly. Blend with an immersion blender, adjust salt to taste (always start with less salt, and then add gradually to avoid oversalting). Add coconut yoghurt, blend again.
Heat up for another 5 minutes and it's ready to serve.
Garnish with more coconut yoghurt (I mixed mine with water to thin it out), sunflower or pumpkin seeds and chili flakes.

Tip:
I used a regular pumpkin, which has a higher water content. Ideally, I like to use a denser type of pumpkin (like Hokkaido) as it gives a creamier and sweeter texture to the soup. You can try that if you like, or just stick to a regular cooking pumpkin.

I absolutely adore this brand and recommend it to anyone who wants to get their hands on quality fabric, beautiful dresses at an affordable price (to the current standards, as, you know.. a lot of dresses you see on the internet currently cost above $200). They release limited stock every couple of months, so keep your eyes peeled!

Hi friends,
It feels kind of odd making a slow and simple home vlog for you this week, as I'm deep into holiday blues and feel like nothing can top the Scottish landscapes from my previous video. Though, perhaps that one was an oddball, rather than a simple video like this.
Anyway, I hope you're having a wonderful day! Are you planning to celebrate Halloween this year? How do you celebrate?
It's not that big of a thing in England, so I will probably just light my new pumpkin shaped candle and watch a scary movie. 🎃

P.S Pumpkin soup recipe is in the description!

Your videos bring calm, beauty, and serenity to an otherwise chaotic world. Thank you.

Life is full of highs and lows, however mostly just ordinary days. What matters the most is staying mindful and positive during those ordinary days, that's most of our time here and we should spend it in a way that makes us feel the best.
Love your videos and how you can make even most ordinary things look so beautiful and aesthetic!
Well done! :)

[bluetoadflax]

if anything can be cosy and etheral at once, it is tea and books in a spot of sunlight 🍵
Of course adventures and travels are thrilling, but your videos sharing everyday life are peacfully enjoyeable. I think things don't have to be grand to be interesting, and, the way you share them makes everything enchanting ❤

Your videos make me feel so calm and peaceful.

[cerridwencottagediary]

Your videos always provide a sea of calm in a crazy world

[jiniaferdousjui]

The mundane life you showed is so cosy for me. Your videos are helping me a lot to get rid of social media addiction.

[rosestar]

I really love your place. I wish I could live like you in a beautiful place away from all toxic people and negativity of the world. I'm just tired of life. I want serenity, silence and positivity.💮

I'm deep into my pumpkin and squash phase right now too! 🍂🎃 I seriously can't stop making lattes and pies. It's such a comforting and delicious season. 😊🥧☕

Homemade soup, classic novels, candlelight, misty autumn days--these are favorite things of mine that combined turn an ordinary day into an extraordinary one.
God bless from Lisa in the U.S.

you are so unbelievably underrated! your content is incredible and i adore watching them in the evenings and morning when no one is awake <3 i really enjoy these more calm videos as well!

[EmmeChatterton]

You make even the slow and simple days seem very beautiful and very cozy, how lucky we are to live a completely uneventful day, where nothing much happens, but we get to exist in relative peace with no tragedy, I know there is a quote that goes like this, and it's true. We are lucky for the quiet days as much as the amazingly stunning ones, and we can rest hopeful that more trips to the mountains will be in our future. Thanks for sharing.

I have discovered you and totally relate to you not the showy bloggers who use their sites as one big money spending advert. You are truly refreshing and I am not showy or competitive and love nature having grown up in New Zealand. I have a river walk near me every day and love natural foods and the seasons. I like wearing dresses and skirts rather than knee torn jeans which everyone seems to wear. I am not a trainers person either. The classic stories you read are wonderful. Thomas Hardy is very atmospheric. I love all of his stories and Rebecca and Jane Eyre are very moody. Your voice is calming and your cottage so pretty and Edinburgh and Loch Lomond and the wooden cabin a dream.

reading the words is so different than the movies❤

[jessnz]

Definitely yes to hair care routine!
And yes, videos like this as well as the travel ones!

[vibekefreitag]

Thank you for another lovely Video of your. I loved spending time with you in your home❤️Will you consider making a home tour video one day? It doesn’t have to be a perfect home on contrary because nobody has a perfect home anyway. It would just be lovely to see your home❤️

[janiec]

I admire how you can turn an ordinary day into an enchanting one. Pumpkin soup is one of my favorites and I will have to try yours. Thank you for sharing another beautiful video with us.🍂🎃🍁🧡

[lunawolf]

You have such a beautiful life. I hope you get to live it and enjoy it for as long as you want. Have a beautiful Autumn season Daria 🍂<3

[Ellary_Rosewood]

That pumpkin soup looks delicious! I'm definitely going to try to make my own - soups are my favorite kind of meal to cook and people seem to like my soups! I love the slow coziness that you portray in your videos. I'm sad to see October almost gone, but I'm looking forward to November and December as well, especially since I'll be turning the big 30 in November. Thank you, as always, for sharing a small glimpse into your daily life. I hope your life is indeed just as beautiful as the videos you make. 🧡
