Night Time Routine 🌃 | A Cozy 5PM to 10PM Vlog: Unpacking Groceries, Dinner Prep, & Waffles

Good evening!

I bought quite a bit of groceries today

It's been raining a lot these days and the humidity is very high

Because of this, washing my hands after returning home feels extra good

The presence of daffodils at the grocery store is a clear indication that Spring is just around the corner

Flowers are one of those small things that can make me happy for days

Poppies are my favorite flowers ~ they bloom like living masterpieces, each one a true work of art

I like to quickly "prepare" my groceries once I get home

Cutting the butter into small pieces will make it so much more convenient to use when you need it

However, I don't use separators between pieces (I am a "little" frugal in that regard haha (⸝⸝ᵕᴗᵕ⸝⸝))

As long as you leave a bit of space between the pieces, they won't stick together even if they fall

For vegetables, I like to clean them and then let them dry before storing them in the fridge

Dirt trapped in the vegetables can carry bacteria which may lead to contamination

Berries are Koko's favourite fruit, so I usually buy a lot and wash them all at once

I give them a quick rinse and then soak them in baking soda water for 15 minutes

Baking soda helps to remove dirt, pesticides, and other residues effectively

You can leave the berries to air dry, but it usually takes really long, so I like to use a salad spinner

I promise it's not just because the salad spinner would otherwise sit unused... 𓏗-𓏗

For proteins, I like to remove them from their packaging as soon as I get home
