I would love it if you had a video series on your favorite parts of Stockholm. It would be great to discover your city with you, streets, parks, shops and other places. I'm sure other viewers would enjoy this too. ☺

[@BenitaLarsson]

I usually share snippets in my DITL videos but I’ll keep it in mind for a more dedicated tour!

[@lisarhoades965]

Isn't being able to do what you love on your own schedule what most of us aspire? Again, congratulations to you, Benita on living your best life on your own terms.

[@BenitaLarsson]

Thank you, it's been an adjustment but a good one!

[@emmylou-y4b]

Lovely vlog. I retired 3 years ago and realized I needed some sort of routine. The first year was joyous and then when the pandemic hit...well, we all know what happened. So I had to regroup and create projects that kept me indoors (I did continue to run in the park). With a sense of normalcy in the air, I am happen that I disciplined myself and kept busy; it's still serving me. Be well, Benita and thank you.

[@BenitaLarsson]

Routines are great to have in these strange times!

[@maxinerobson5336]

I really enjoy your vlogs; they’re so relaxing to watch. I love your aesthetic and style. I also appreciate how much you clearly adore your cat. I love my cat that much too and smother her with kisses all day long. 😻

[@BenitaLarsson]

I have two and they’re both my sweeties 😊

[@lisab2465]

Your cats are so gorgeous. My cats bring so much joy and fun to my life that I just can’t imagine life without them! 🐈💞

[@liatori6214]

When you walked down the stairs on your walk, I got truly excited about the colors of the leafs. So pretty. Your home oozes calmness, love it.

[@BenitaLarsson]

The fall foliage has been amazing this year!

[@monicaeberle8505]

I have been struggling to establish order into my newly retired life. Such chaos after a strictly regimented schedule of work and home responsibilities. This video has given me encouragement to keep moving toward harmony 🙏

[@emmabenfield874]

What a great way to end the week and head into the weekend. I really like how you make a point of packing your desk away. Mini & Bonus seemed a lovely Friday routine too😻

[@BenitaLarsson]

When I worked outisde my home I used to hide my work bag in the closet over the weekend. That helped with the weekend feeling too!

[@ipeksoran9554]

there is almost nothing more relaxing for me in this world than watching your videos. your channel is like a therapy to me. thank you benita!

[@cyclingonplants7444]

Great video Benita - it was nice to see your new routine. I'm not retired yet but I plan to in 2 years and I'm already thinking about what my routine will be like when I do, so thank you for the inspiration. I always like when you take us with you on little shopping or walking excursions -makes me feel like I'm there with you. Love your kitties too. Take care

[@BenitaLarsson]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@clairecayton8805]

I have been watching your channel only for a few days & have managed to binge watch all of your videos, I find the content & how gentle you speak very relaxing, your home & style is so calming & your kitties are so cute! This is just what I am needing at this moment in time due to getting divorced here in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧

[@BenitaLarsson]

I’m happy if my videos help during this time for you!

[@emstewart986]

What sweet flowers. I love watching your watching your neighbourhood walks

[@ImaginethenorthNet]

I love your balance between comfort and simplicity 💚 seems more inspirational / achieveable than other minimalists I watch. Grateful! 🙏

[@cathy3701]

I love the act of getting fresh flowers on Friday for the weekend. I’m going to adopt your Friday routines for cleaning & errands. Even though I am retired from a 9 - 5 job & work for myself, I am still doing cleaning, laundry, etc. on the weekends out of habit. Thank you for another great video! Oh and I ordered a few T-shirt’s from Organic Basics & I love them!❤️

[@BenitaLarsson]

Organic Basics make such good stuff!

[@thetigerlyon]

Hi Benita, have you considered doing a “work with me” video? I love the calming sound of your voice and music choices, and often have repeats of your videos on in the background while I work. I work alone from home and like the background noise. It would be cool to have a long video of you working with keyboard sounds and music choice, Kitty cameos etc. Love your work. Good luck with going solo. Sophie x

[@andrewbeffa7467]

Hi Sophie

[@cecilyirvinecook]

Watching this on a Friday after a busy week! It’s so relaxing to see someone else’s end of week routine. I hope I can do something like this for myself one day

[@terrygraziano1988]

I was as mesmerized as your cat by you wiping down that counter :-). Great video as always Benita! I have been following you since early blog days and thoroughly enjoy every piece of content you create. Glad to see you thriving! ❤️

[@BenitaLarsson]

So glad you enjoy the videos!

[@Jean-ni6of]

Love your cat too.

[@finbohannon9581]

Lovely to see you. Do you have a hobby? What do you do when you don’t have any tidying or decluttering to do? Read, is so, what? Knit?, sew? Jigsaw puzzles? Fin

[@BenitaLarsson]

I meet up with friends, go to museums and other cultural events!

This was so peaceful. I especially love the scenes in which you hug your cats. ❤️

[@BenitaLarsson]

They are my sweeties so whenever I get a chance 😊

[@andrewbeffa7467]

Hello Sandra

[@pattykake7195]

That’s a cool cat you have…so calm and relaxed..🐈‍⬛

[@midmiddleton163]

A minimalistic healthy happy life.

[@penny3767]

I’m in the midst of reorganizing my routines, your videos have been inspiring (and a joy) to watch. Thank you for sharing. 🌻

[@BenitaLarsson]

Best of luck and have fun!

[@ExLibris-Alys]

I’m in the fortunate position of no longer needing to work and I absolutely LOVE my lifestyle now. Being able to do what you want/need to do when you want to do it is so liberating and I no longer feel constantly exhausted. You’re not quite at that stage yet but I’m sure you’ll soon reap the rewards of not having to run to catch up with yourself 😊. Having the weekends off is at least part of the way there for now. 💛💐

[@miloslavahavelkova3794]

Good morning, I can´t stop to follow this video, Madame Benita! Whats marwellous environement you live! So clean, clear and beautifull....So calming life you live....I wish it to you, really.

[@fatimaevangelista7191]

You have two beautiful cats. They're cute!

[@BenitaLarsson]

Thank you, I do love my 🦁&🐯

[@TheCoookieCrumb]

Ohh! That seems like such a lovely Friday routine. I especially love the Friday flowers. Thank you for sharing.

[@geeb4994]

Love your videos, so calming. It’s great that you can alter your work commitments to fit your lifestyle. You are good at keeping your work time quite disciplined and to know when to turn off the computer. Personal time is like gold dust. Enjoy your beautiful autumnal days in Stockholm. Keep well.

[@BenitaLarsson]

Thank you so much!

[@marycrosby214]

I love when you take us along for your walks, errands and outings! Your cats are so cute.

[@andrewbeffa7467]

Hi Mary

[@idol782001]

Thank you for taking us around Stockholm 🙏

[@jillpolino6273]

I love seeing Stockholm!! You lucky girl you !! My dream location

[@labecksf]

What pretty paper wrapping up your flowers!

[@jennifergrainger2480]

Hi Benita, haven’t had the chance to see your vids lately. So today I’ve gone to your channel to catch up - your playing quietly in the background as I tidy my space. Letting the ads play out to save you a few pennies. Have a lovely Christmas and I look forward to your content in 2022. You have been a very positive influence for me and just want to say a big thank you!!

[@aukakin]

is so calm, admired your life style and attitude.

[@99ways2tarot]

Thank you for this video. Your life is so similar to my own. It’s time for a wardrobe update, especially with the season change, please do one. Enjoy and stay well. ☺️

[@BenitaLarsson]

Not very many changes so not a whole lot to report 😊

[@destiny5714]

Super proud of you for switching over to the content creator lifestyle fulltime-it takes a lot of courage to pursue such a demanding task as new strategic communication major with a focus in social media management seeing stories like this inspire me to keep pushing towards my goal of a degree to help content creators continue to thrive! Keep going :)

[@BenitaLarsson]

Thank you, it's been an adjustment but a good one!

[@marep5597]

Your home looks so serene and cozy. Your kitties are beautiful 😻

[@madelinepearl]

Your videos are so calm and comforting, always happy when you upload a new one. I love your style and personality and of course your kitty cats. Thank you for being here!

[@BenitaLarsson]

Thank you so much for following along!

[@anashappydays]

I love routines and yours are simply perfect 🤩😍🇳🇴

[@BenitaLarsson]

Thank you! Glad you appreciate them!

[@madelinegulliver6362]

I could (and often do) watch all your videos over and over again. You are such a good reminder to slow down and be purposeful with how we spend our energy.

[@BenitaLarsson]

Thank you so much!

[@andrewbeffa7467]

Hi Madeline

[@rockchick0367]

I always apologize to my cats as well if I accidentally bump into them. I enjoyed your video!

[@CitrouilleCitron]

The sleeping cat is really cute ! (Not the theme of the video, but it was worthy to mention it ^^)

[@michellecrockettms.uniteds9101]

Your cat is so precious! 🥰

[@105cathy]

Lovely Stockholm ❤️

[@BenitaLarsson]

I do love it here!

[@lulumontoya9492]

Thanks for sharing your life. It gives some guidelines on how to become more relaxing weekend to ponder.

[@mrsflowers4143]

Such a relaxing routine… inspire me to keep my Friday’s simple and wind down, ready for the weekend. Thank you Benita 💜 x

[@BenitaLarsson]

It’s so great to to have weekends off!

[@EvaAlavez]

Hola Benita Bonita! I hope you are doing well. I’m doing my cleaning routine, but first, I watch your videos to make sure I am being efficient. Luv ya, dear! 👋🏼☺️✨Regards from New York!

[@adriiteach]

I love the part in this video where you kiss Mini and clean around your kitty so as not to disturb! I once slept on about 10 inches of mattress on the side of my bed so I didn't have to disturb my kitty Jack as he snuggled up against me on the other side!

[@queenqueens4090]

I really enjoy your video very much it's very common and very sweet I enjoyed I'm so so much I love watching you keep up the good work have a beautiful weekend

[@BenitaLarsson]

Thank you so much!

[@RIDDLE0MASTER]

"There is no bad weather, only bad clothes". A very informative video! Especially for those who consider, indeed, to be self employed at home. By the way, I think that any job beyond 7 hours a day should be illegal. . .

[@BenitaLarsson]

We have that saying here too and I agree completely!

[@deana1892]

I like that cat litter!

[@miloslavahavelkova3794]

I love so much to follow your vlogs, Madame Benita! All of them are so inspirative but this one is exceptionally calming and refreshing! Your cat let me remeber the our one, called Beauty, we missed her about two years ago...Thanks a lot for yours videos and have a beautyfull autumn!

[@BenitaLarsson]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

[@gin76]

Would love to see more videos of your cat! Love seeing it

[@Crimsun1989]

your videos are a therapy! Keep it up!

[@clarkindee]

Wine, snacks - yep, that's my Friday, too. Your city looks BEAUTIFUL!!! Thanks!

[@Jupet83]

I am really inspired by your way of living! and also your style, so I am trying to see if I can simplify my closet :D Just love your videos and the calmness in them

Right?!

[@frithbarbat]

That is so smart, to make it hard to get at your computer. I have NO trouble staying away from work on the weekend! Also, I love the kitty love - that's Mini, yes? The little head bobs!

[@milagroperez6053]

I love your video always brings myself in a peaceful moments no matter we always need this thank you

[@bodytechnician8507]

It's so wonderful how the kitties help you out by sitting on the towels etc whilst you are cleaning. You adore them that is clear to see. Thanks for showing them. Have a great weekend.

[@jillengel4124]

Wow, you’ve got beautiful flower markets in Stockholm. The city is so clean. Glad Friday is your free day. I used to work Monday thru Thursday and loved it. Do the Organic Basics sweats shrink? I’m tall so don’t want to end up with high water pants.

[@BenitaLarsson]

I don't feel like they shrink if you wash at a cool temperature. The legs are actually quite long on this style!

I'm so glad you find inspiration in them!

[@TeeBoyd88]

I am really loving the scenes from around your City as you go about walking & running errands. I've paused my big screen at the orange flowers, the florist shops, along the water & when your cat was by the door looking into the yard. I like to do this with my fave YT who are into simple living & minimalist. The scenes are beautiful & calming as I go about tidying up my own home. BTW how have your cats adjusted to your presence being at home during the times you used to work? They must feel spoit.

[@BenitaLarsson]

I’ve been working from home during the pandemic too so it’s been like this for a while 😊

[@pigglywiggly1951]

Your videos are inspiring. You have created such a cozy comfortable home. I can tell that you really love your cats, they are beautiful. I just love Mini. Her colors are gorgeous.

[@BenitaLarsson]

I do love them so much! Sometimes they’re super annoying but I love them 🤣

[@--Valentina-]

It's a great idea to devote Fridays to a thorough week wrap-up and next week prep! I was waiting for you to open the Chardonnay, at the end, 😉but I imagine you kept it for the weekend! (Raised in France, I've been a wine educator in Carneros (Napa Valley), Burgundian varietals being my favorites--especially a good Chardonnay.) ✨💕💕

Watching your video and hearing you say its taken you a while to get into new routine has helped give me confidence as I too adjust to a less frantic work life. Thankyou for being so inspiring. J

It does take a while to adjust so if you want to you'll get there!

[@jane584]

As I watched this video, I remembered your blog posts from years ago when you hurried home to clean before starting the weekend--still a great routine. Thank you for sharing, Benita. What application do you use to manage your calendar and task list? It looked like you might use Evernote. Regardless, I'd love to see more about how you've organized all of that. Thank you for such a fantastic channel. -Jane
