colsie (kol-zee) / origin: Old Scots for ‘cosy

1. The feeling that comes with being present, inviting closeness, and appreciating the things that last

2. The act of slow living and making time for the people and things that soothe our souls

We asked, you answered!

A few weeks ago on instagram, we asked about your favourite songs for feeling calm and got an amazing response. So amazing in fact, that we took your responses and made the first ever Colsie Playlist!

From the gritty vocals of Hozier to the lilting melodies of Agnes Obel, you guys have great taste. See our top 10 picks below or click to hear the the whole playlist (and may we suggest a hot cup of tea?).

And fyi, we think this playlist is best paired with these calming, neutral colours.

In other news, we reached 10K on instagram this week!

10,000 is just a number. It’s when we take time to reflect on the fact that 10,000 individual, real, living, breathing, interesting, amazing people have gathered in our colsie corner that we are blown away.

We are PROUD of our community. Our hope is to continue to nurture this space as a place for spreading encouragement & ideas for living slow, considerate lives of "togetherness."

We have so many ideas for this! Colsie gatherings, a colsie podcast, special colsie designs... Just a few things we're dreaming about.
