Hi, I’m Sarah, an American living in England. In this vlog, I’m sharing a mix of my work-from-home routine and a weekend filled with cooking, planning, and DIY projects.
The video starts with a quiet WFH day, including a simple lunch and a cozy café break for some planning. After wrapping up work, my husband and I went out for a delicious Italian restaurant dinner as a Friday night treat.
On the weekend, I spent time doing what I love most—cooking homemade meals! I made teriyaki tofu, cheese-stuffed rolls, and a warm vegetable barley soup, balancing both Japanese and Western cooking styles. I also worked on a small DIY project for our home and took time to slow down with tea and reading.
I hope you enjoy this relaxed look into my daily life in England! If you liked the video, please like & subscribe for more cozy vlogs 💖
