A blog about my holistic journey of life and cats

One of my favourite things to do at year’s end ✨
Even though this was a quieter year, making these little flashback videos reminds me just how meaningful it’s been — a year of slowing down, reflecting, learning and gently realigning. Not every season needs to be loud to be powerful.

Grateful for the still moments and the inner growth they brought.
Happy New Year ✨ Here’s to moving forward with clarity and intention.

Quiet holiday days done right ✨
Staying home, slowing down, playing games and soaking up the simple moments — with my cats close by, of course 🐱💫
No rush, no plans… just peace, presence and a little playful fun.

Sometimes the best holidays are the quiet ones 🤍

That’s a wrap 🎁✨
A little Christmas present wrapping timelapse — slightly behind wrapping on Xmas Eve, but better late than never. I’ve got my gingerbread and candy stripe PJs on by Peter Alexander, Xmas music playing in the background. Enjoy

Nothing brings the festive spirit to life quite like a family gingerbread house competition ✨🏠
Laughter in the kitchen, icing-covered fingers, a little friendly rivalry and plenty of sweet memories made along the way. It’s not about who wins — it’s about coming together, slowing down and celebrating the magic of being present with the people you love 🤍

Moments like these are the ones worth journalling and holding onto long after the holidays are over.

✨ Christmas Decor Tour — Part 2 ✨
Welcome to the final stop on my Christmas decoration tour!

The house is now fully transformed, and in this last instalment I’m sharing the remaining festive spaces that bring all the holiday magic together. From the cosiest corners to the statement pieces that make Christmas feel unforgettable, every room has its own sparkle and story.

In Part 2, you’ll see the finishing touches — the glowing trees, the warm ambient lights, and the little details that complete this year’s Christmas look. It’s the perfect finale to a home that’s officially ready for the season.

✨ Lazy hot summer days with the cats ✨
There’s nothing better than slow afternoons spent stretched out in the shade, listening to the cicadas and watching the fur babies melt into little puddles of purrs. Long naps, warm breezes and soft whisker kisses — this is summer at its sweetest. ☀️🐾
