💖 The call of the Feywild was strong, and we were able to finally get “The Wild Beyond the Witchlight” book on top of that the Feywild scented candle we ordered from emberworks arrived a few days after.

🍃 The candle smells great, it definitely gives off Feywild vibes lol. Definitely recommend it if you like the smell of citrus and mint.

🧚‍♀️ We’re really excited every time we get a new TTRPG book, so we can’t wait to really pour over “The Wild Beyond the Witchlight” the art is amazing to look at alone.

Joy's Cozy Week

4.1.2024-4.7.2024

This is Joy's weekly schedule of live streams and content.

Monday, April 1, 2024 6:00 PM [Twitch] - Hot Cocoa Time with Joy

Let's welcome the new month together! I have a new outfit, some updates to share, and just love a chance to talk with YOU! Also, April 1st is known as April Fools Day (aka National Tom Foolery Day) in America; but, I won't be participating in that. I will be holding a cozy safe space for anyone wishing for it. So grab your blankie, hot cocoa (or whatever beverage you prefer), and join me in my cozy space.

Tuesday, April 2, 2024 9:00 AM [TikTok] - Cozy Gaming

I have tried TikTok streaming before, but I had to take a break during the holidays and also my PC could barely handle it along with Twitch Streaming. With my new PC setup, I'm giving it a go once again. So, I'm trialing TikTok streaming, and I'd love to see you there as well! I haven't decided what game yet, but I'm putting more of a focus on cozy/farming sim games on this platform, and I'll see where it takes me.

Wednesday, April 3, 2024 9:00 AM [TikTok] - Cozy Co-Working

If anyone still remembers a time when I was doing "study with me" streams on Youtube, these streams acted as "parallel working" streams, where I put in some video game lofi, no mic, and worked alongside friends while interacting directly in chat. I had to put a pause on these streams due to holidays, work, special streams, etc. And after re-evaluating myself and looking back on those streams, I didn't want to limit it to just "studying." So, as part of experimental TikTok streaming, I'll be streaming "co-working" sessions on TikTok, where pomodoro will also be tried out and I'll interact a little more freely there than I did on Youtube. Looking forward to seeing you!

Thursday, April 4, 2024 6:00 PM [Twitch] - Persona 3 Reload

Ah, something still familiar in the schedule! My regularly scheduled Persona/RPG thursdays is still ongoing! So much story to uncover in this next stream, and AHHH, I can't say more than that just for the sake of spoiling others. But for those who are familiar, we're about to hit September...

Friday, April 5, 2024 4:00 PM [Youtube] - New Video to be released!

Speaking of Youtube, I had to put a hiatus on my YT projects due to the holidays, work piling up, and all the support for the friends during these last few months. I'm tackling my content again to post on Youtube more often! I enjoyed making gaming asmr videos and productivity videos. I'll be focusing more on gaming content, and just see where life takes me after sometime~ So, look forward to anticipated weekly YT videos of yours truly~! \ This week's video is a Play with Me, Genshin video :) no mic, just highlighting game controller and in-game audio sounds. "Don't forget to like, subscribe, comment and hit that notifications bell!"

The Cozy Aesthetic and the Timeless Charm of Lo-fi Music

The first step to creating any level of atmosphere is always to set the mood. In some instances that is accomplished with music even in the aim for a cozy aesthetic, which is characterized by warmth, comfort, and a sense of familiarity. Coziness has captured the hearts of countless individuals seeking solace amidst the chaos, and an integral part of this aesthetic and atmosphere, of this “setting the mood”, is lo-fi music. Lo-fi a genre that beautifully complements the cozy ambiance, transporting listeners to a simpler time. In this blog article, we will explore the origins of lo-fi music, its defining characteristics, and how it effortlessly intertwines with the cozy aesthetic, creating a harmonious escape from the modern hustle and bustle.

Origins of Lo-Fi Music

Lo-fi music, short for low-fidelity, traces its roots back to the 1950s when musicians intentionally embraced the limitations of recording technology. This approach was an artistic choice, rather than a technical limitation, and sought to capture the raw essence of music without the polished perfection often associated with high-fidelity recordings. In the 1980s, lo-fi music gained momentum as an underground movement, with bands like Guided by Voices and Sebadoh pioneering the genre.

Fast forward to the digital age, lo-fi music experienced a significant resurgence, owing to the ease of accessibility and sharing on various online platforms. Emerging artists began to blend nostalgic elements, such as vinyl crackles and analog warmth, with contemporary beats, forging a unique and mesmerizing style that captivated listeners worldwide.

Defining Characteristics of Lo-fi Music

Lo-fi music is characterized by a distinct set of elements that set it apart from other genres:

1. Vinyl Crackles and Hiss: Lo-fi tracks often feature vinyl crackles and background hiss, harkening back to the days of analog recording and imparting a sense of authenticity.

2. Sampled Sounds: Lo-fi artists often incorporate samples from vintage records, film dialogue, or found sounds, giving their music a distinctive and nostalgic quality.

3. Mellow Beats: The rhythmic backbone of lo-fi music is characterized by laid-back, downtempo beats that create a sense of relaxation and contemplation.

4. Jazzy Undertones: Jazz influences play a prominent role in lo-fi music, with smooth chords and improvisational elements lending a sophisticated yet soothing touch.

5. Repetition and Looping: Lo-fi tracks often employ repetitive loops, creating a mesmerizing and immersive experience that complements the cozy aesthetic.

The Cozy Aesthetic and Its Allure

The cozy aesthetic celebrates life's simple pleasures, emphasizing the beauty of comfort, warmth, and a sense of belonging. This concept gained traction in the early 2010s and has since grown into a widespread phenomenon, permeating various aspects of contemporary culture, from interior design to social media trends.

One of the primary reasons for the popularity of the cozy aesthetic is its ability to counterbalance the fast-paced, digitally-driven world we live in. The allure of coziness lies in its ability to evoke an emotional connection to a simpler time; a time often associated with a more carefree and peaceful existence. In a way, the cozy aesthetic is an antidote to the constant bombardment of information and stimuli, offering a much-needed respite from the chaos of modern life.

The Harmonious Blend: Lo-Fi Music and the Cozy Aesthetic

Lo-fi music's gentle melodies and laid-back rhythms mesh effortlessly with the cozy aesthetic, reinforcing its core principles in several ways:

1. A Sense of Familiarity: Lo-fi's vintage-inspired soundscapes, complete with vinyl crackles and sampled snippets from the past or even the present, elicit feelings of nostalgia and comfort through familiarity, taking listeners on a journey to simpler and/or happier times.

2. A Sanctuary of Tranquility: As lo-fi music gently flows through the air, its mellow beats and jazzy undertones create a calming atmosphere, transforming any space into a cozy sanctuary where one can unwind and find solace. It’s great for a cozy coffee shop or cafe, a relaxing background for a quiet get together, or listening to while you work on your blog, like I am right now.

3. A Complement to Visual Coziness: Whether you're scrolling through cozy home decor images on social media or enjoying the comforts of your own space, lo-fi music serves as the perfect backdrop to enhance the visual coziness, enriching the overall sensory experience.

4. Boosting Creativity and Focus: The soothing nature of lo-fi music is known to enhance creativity and boost focus, making it an ideal companion for artists, writers, and students seeking inspiration or a productive study session.

So, in the confluence of the cozy aesthetic and lo-fi music, we find a harmonious fusion of simplicity, warmth, familiarity and nostalgia. As we navigate the complexities of the modern world, this enchanting combination offers a retreat to a bygone era, a more peaceful space, where time seemed to move slower, and life's pleasures were savored without distraction. Whether enjoyed while curled up with a book, during a work-from-home day, or while simply daydreaming, lo-fi music, with its timeless charm, continues to be the soundtrack to a cozy and comforting journey through time.
