Indoor Slow Living Hobbies For Women In Their 20s
1. Open Your Windows First Thing In The Morning
Do this before you check your phone.
As you let in fresh air and the natural light brush against your skin, stretch your arms outside as you take 3 slow, deep breaths, now breathe out and whisper a simple intention like, “Today, I bloom gently.”
This tiny ritual welcome in Spring and shifts you from rushing into your day to entering it gracefully.
2. Have a Girls’ Movie Night in
Imagine fairy lights glowing, blankets piled high, snacks scattered across the coffee table, and you and your girls laughing over a romantic movie.
There’s no other spring activity that will surround you with love and sisterhood this spring.
3. Do a Bit of Cleaning
Nothing says Spring like a room refresh.
Now you, don’t need to tackle everything at once. Start small by cleaning off your nightstand, changing your bedsheets, and wiping down your mirrors.
4. Make yourself a Studio Ghibli- Inspired Breakfast
Take time to make yourself a cozy breakfast that delights all your senses.
Open your kitchen windows and let the soft sunlight spill across the table while the steam rises from your meal.
For Studio Ghibli inspired breakfast, think:
• Fluffy scrambled eggs or an omelet with fresh herbs
• Warm toast with fruit jam or honey
• Pancakes with berries or edible flowers
• Seasonal fruit like strawberries, kiwi, or melon
The kind of food you’d see in Kiki’s Delivery Service or My Neighbor Totoro — simple, comforting, and heartwarming.
5. Journal with a Cup of Tea
I love to enjoy my morning matcha by my window.
You can take Journal and as the natural light hit your skin and you breathe in the fresh morning air, pour your thoughts on in your journal.
You can write about the things you want to bloom in your life and the things you want to leave behind.
6. Light a Sweet-Smelling Candle in the Evening
Opt for light, floral scents like rose, peony, or lilac candles to unleash the smell of fresh blossoms in your home.
You can grab more than one scents so you can rotate them as spring unfolds.
7. Bake Something Sweet from Scratch
Spring is the perfect season to bake something that tastes like sunshine.
Try making blueberry muffins, lemon loaf, rose sugar cookies, or strawberry shortcake.
Now, don’t just bake, romanticize the experience by putting on a cute apron, a soft playlist and take your time with measuring and mixing.
8. Paint or Sketch Flowers
Yes, you don’t need to be an artist to make this your favorite spring hobby.
Just sit down somewhere quiet with paper, paint, or a sketchbook and let flowers come to life under your hands.
9. Create a Fall Playlist
I’ve crafted the perfect Spring playlist full of bright lyrics that will have you dancing in your kitchen all day.
10. Make a Fall-Inspired Vision Board
It should represent everything you want to romanticize for the season– you at a botanical garden, going on sunset walks, having a cozy evening with your journal and tea, going thrift shopping in a floral dress or you on a road trip with your girls.
11. Write a Poem about Fall
This spring capture every moment before it passes by writing a poem that romanticizes the tiny moments that comes with spring- open windows, birds chirping, flowers blooming, warm breezes, and warm sunlight waking you up every morning.
12. Create a Cozy Nook
As the weather warms up, you’re going to need a little “me time” nook where you can journal, sip tea, write poetry, and just be.
If you can, create your nook by a window where the sunlight hits your skin while you relax into a plush chair with throw pillows and a cozy blanket.
Tip: Add fresh flowers to keep your nook fresh and airy.
Outdoor Slow Living Hobbies For Your Fall Bucket List
13. Go on a Slow Nature Walk
Step outside and notice the beauty around you.
As the sun peeks through the branches and the soft breeze kisses your skin, breathe deeply, notice the leaves gently swaying, wildflowers growing, birds singing, and butterflies flying about.
You can romanticize your spring walk even more by wearing a floral dress and whispering self-love affirmations to yourself.
14. Bike Along the Beach
I am not at all good at biking, but if you are, jump on your bike and ride along the shoreline during the golden hour.
Instead, give yourself permission to start your day feeling calm, light, and inspired.
As your legs slowly turn the pedals, listen to the steady rhythm of the waves, smell the salt in the air, and as the wind brushes against your skin, allow yourself to forget your to-do list.
Instead, give yourself permission to start your day feeling calm, light, and inspired.
15. Read a Whimsical Book Under a Tree
If you’re bored of reading in bed, why not sit under a tree and escape into a whimsical book?
If you’re looking for cozy books that belong under a tree, check out, The Enchanted April, The Little Paris Bookshop and Flower Heart By Catherine Bakewell.
These three are on the top of my spring reading list.
16. Host a Picnic With Your Girls
Hosting a picnic is the perfect excuse to gather your girls, lay out a dreamy blanket, and create a little pocket of magic together.
You can do this at a park or on a quiet beach.
Tell your girls bring cozy blankets, fresh flowers, and a woven basket for fruits, pastries, and sandwiches.
Bonus: Bring a Polaroid camera.
17. Go On A Road Trip With Your Friends
If you love scenic countryside, beach sunsets, and mountain roads, going on a road trip with your girls should be at the top of your spring activities list.
You’ll be in for corny inside jokes, sharing snacks, wind in your hair, and upbeat song that will have you singing loudly with your girls.
18. Visit a Botanical Garden or a National Park
Put on a cute dress with a cute hat, or put a flower in your hair (if you want), and go walking among blooming flowers, butterflies flying about, breathe in fresh air, and carry a book to read or journal in the grass.
19. Watch the Sunset
Step outside and watch as the sky turns into watercolor — blush pinks, peach, lavender, gold and take this moment to just be.
You can also watch from your balcony, but if you’re near the coast, a beach sunset is unmatched.
20. Wear Floral Cottagecore Dresses Outside
Floral dresses were made for spring.
They’re airy, light and romantic, and you can wear them literally anywhere.
At a brunch, on a sunset walk, or even on slow nature walks.
Here are the best styles for spring:

- Floral wrap dresses
- Maxi dresses
- Cotton shirt dresses
21. Take Golden Hour Photos
Before the sun says goodbye, leaving that honey gold and warm amber glowing against your skin, take out your phone or Polaroid camera and take photos of yourself and your girls as the sun kiss your skin.
22. Walk Barefoot in the Grass
I do this a lot, by the way.
This helps me to slow down and ground myself before starting my day.
You don’t need a big garden, you can do this in your backyard, anywhere where there is a small patch of green.
23. Sit On a Bench Just To Feel The Breeze
Sit and do nothing for just ten minutes.
Notice the way the breeze brushes against your skin, the sound of the leaves, and listen to the rhythm of your own breathing.
24. Take Yourself On a Solo Date
Dress up in a comfy outfit and take yourself to a cute café and order something you’ve never tried.
Bring a book or journal to free your mind.
You can also go on a sunset walk or host a mini picnic just for you.
25. Do Gentle Yoga Or Stretches in the Grass
There’s something so healing about moving your body outside in spring.
As you do gentle cat cow stretches and gentle hip circles absorb the fresh air and natural light and release winter stiffness from your body.
Tip: Make it whimsical by doing these exercises barefoot in the grass, your life will feels magical.
