The Story Behind Cozy with Betty
How I learned to make room for softness in my everyday life.
For several years, I worked in the finance industry. It was a demanding, fast-paced and often very stressful environment and, if I’m being honest, a very male-dominated one too.
At the same time, I was studying for my Bachelor’s degree in Finance while working full-time. My days were busy, my mind was constantly running, and I was always thinking about the next thing I had to do.
Until one day, after a lot of reflection, I realised that I needed something to balance out all the stress I was carrying every day.
I needed a way to truly switch off.
And surprisingly, the answer was quite simple: I started creating little cozy moments for myself at home.
I began paying more attention to the small things that made me feel good.
In the morning, I love opening my window while it’s still cold outside, listening to the birds and slowly sipping on my matcha. It became my little moment before the day begins. A few quiet minutes to myself, to breathe, get ready for the day and simply enjoy being present.
Then I started doing the same thing in the evening.
Putting on my softest pyjamas, making myself a little tea, getting comfortable and watching my favourite show, or sometimes reading a few pages of a book.
Nothing complicated. Nothing extraordinary.
Just simple moments that made me feel really good.
Before that, I didn’t really have a clear separation between my work life and my personal life. I could come home from work and still feel like I was at the office. My body was home, but my mind was still there. I struggled to disconnect from the pressure and constant pace of the day.
These little rituals changed that for me.
They gave me something to look forward to a small transition between the outside world and my home. A moment to disconnect from everything around me and reconnect with myself and the things that made me feel good.
And what I love most is that these moments have been there for me through both the difficult and the beautiful chapters of my life.
During harder times, they gave me a moment to slow down and remember the little things I still had to be grateful for.
And during the happiest moments, they reminded me to stop, appreciate how lucky I was and never take those moments for granted.
These little moments have become some of my favourite parts of the day.
And that is where Cozy with Betty came from.
I created this brand because I want to share that feeling of comfort and well-being with other women.
Whether you’re a mum, a student, building a career, running your own business, or simply going through a busy chapter of your life, I want Cozy with Betty to be a little reminder that you deserve moments for yourself too.
You don’t have to wait until you’re exhausted to slow down.
Sometimes, taking care of yourself can be as simple as putting on your favourite pyjamas, making your favourite drink, lighting a candle, reading a few pages of your favorite book/watching your favourite show, or simply sitting quietly for a few minutes.
That’s what I discovered for myself.
And today, I want to share it with you.
I hope Cozy with Betty can bring a little more comfort, softness and peace into your everyday life, whether you’re at home or somewhere else.
Because honestly, after a long day, what’s better than coming home, putting on something soft and comfortable, making your favourite drink and getting lost in a good show or a good book?
So far, I haven’t found anything better.
In a world where everything seems to move at a thousand miles an hour, I want Cozy with Betty to be a reminder to slow down to take a breath, take care of yourself and make space for the little things that make you feel good.
That is what Cozy with Betty means to me.
A space where comfort, softness and well-being have a place in everyday life.
And I hope it can become that little reminder for you too. That it’s okay to slow down, to pause, and to make time for yourself.
