The Cold Days of Midwinter | Cooking, Baking & Mindful Hobbies

The Cold Days of Midwinter: Hi friends! In today's video, I give you a glimpse into my daily life during midwinter in Northern Europe. Starting the year with a chilly -20°C, it's so cold, but incredibly beautiful. As the final weeks of my thesis writing approach, stress is in the air. To counter this, I'm looking for mindful activities to soothe my racing mind. I'm making a hearty soup to nourish my body and baking easy puff pastry apple rings. Enjoy!
