Calm evening routine | Night slow living habits and getting cosy at home

Learning to slow down at the end of the day has helped me get better quality sleep and make my afterwork time count for myself. I’ve prepared this calm evening routine video to show you how I fill my evenings and what habits I have to relax after a week at work.
Somedays before covid, I would feel like my evenings would be drained by my commute time and the need to cook, gym or even finalise some work. It was quite frustrating as I felt like I was stuck in a sleep / work / eat routine. Since working from home, I’ve been lucky to gain back some precious time. In any case, even with a commute there is ways to make the most out of our evenings to calm and relax ourselves. For me the biggest difference was to stop rushing to do everything and appreciate the process of reading, sitting or cooking - whatever it was.

Hello everyone 🧡 What evening or night habits do you enjoy to unwind after work? 🌙

[@briarrose4747]

Watching asmr videos, listening to the sound of soft waves,lofi music, evening affirmations and sometimes childrens shows lol

[@eosantigen]

Watching videos like this or reading with candles and dim lighting ❤

[@user-oo7ug5um9q]

I slowly dim the lights and gradually turn the volume down on tv or music etc. I’m an early to bed person so I can put away the day, read and escape a little before sleep. Meditation is a big part of my evening / sleep routine. And when I feel overwhelmed or uninspired my cat (Willow) and I watch one of your videos and we soon feel ready to relax and wind down again. Thank you for sharing these little pieces of your world with us xx

[@RamloghunLuv]

i love how simple and normal living is seen as being aesthetic. Because this has been a forgettable beauty of living, just to be normal and have a quiet and cozy evening. For me this is my perfect way of living, no fake thrilling parties or fancy stuff, but peaceful and soothing life.

[@quiet_tales]

Thank you for watching 💛

[@Zenforlife]

Amen to that! I love being peaceful also

[@lindak990]

AND no children

[@nathananderson8720]

This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my KZbin channel 6 months ago about self development. Now I have 440 subs and > 100 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I could haven’t learned without getting started in the 1st place.

[@daisylighttarot1964]

My soul yearns for this solitude and peace. My house is always so chaotic - barley any chance to relax and self care like this. You're so lucky & blessed to have this.

[@purplewildflower]

This is the type of aesthetics I like: simple, cozy, and minimal. ❤

[@aditiahuja7635]

I am a night waker and love to have a cup of coffee or ginger tea before sleeping while watching slow n calming videos like yours and many others. Thanks for the calm n cozy video.😊😊

[@tammyroyal7547]

I am a night owl as well!! I love to turn off the lights & just leave the tv on. I watch KZbin or something else. Or I might read awhile. Of course I always have a kitty close to get some loves. Your night routine looks very soothing & your house so cozy!! Love the lights & candles ❤️

[@carlyshuman6048]

What a peaceful, soothing evening. Awe...sweet Momo and Coco.🐈🌻❤

[@momogumi8629]

I love how you wind down your day❤ And your cats make everything so cosy😊

[@quiet_tales]

Thank you for your kind words 🧡!

[@diariesofjoy]

I love your videos. They are so peaceful. Everything you said about the gym, dinner, cleaning and supposed to have time to relax is so true and so relatable. Thank you for sharing ❤

[@kittyfriend4]

Like you, I enjoy a warm drink before bed. Usually tea and sometimes hot cocoa. I make sure that the kitties are well fed so they aren't naughty and asking for food when I'm trying to sleep. Cats are such creatures of habit and they help me keep to a calm routine. Your soft lighting is so pretty and everything you cook looks delicious. Tell Momo and Coco that I think they are adorable. Have a happy week!😺😺💖🌼

[@quiet_tales]

Thank you so much for coming back and watching my new video 🧡 ! Momo tends to wake us up at night when he wants to cuddle, which is too cute for me to be annoyed 😄. I agree they help us relax, they are very calming creatures

[@missgloriaingram1588]

I enjoy the quietness of your videos, but because I love cats seeing Coco and Momo keeps me coming back to your channel. Also the meals you prepare keeps me hungry. Blessed quietness.

[@MagicalMindsByAmra]

Thank you. I can so relate to checking the time in the evenings, almost counting down to bedtime and constantly remind myself that im in a hurry to get stuff done. And I find that the advice that seems the smallest and easiest are often the best. So, tonight I will let time be! 🥰

[@Abigailleigh123]

As someone who is getting ready for bed right now this was enjoyable for me. Thank you! ❤️

[@batterblossomcakery2041]

This video is so soothing and gives me the warm and fuzzies. I literally smiled within the first 3 seconds of watching. It’s so peaceful! 😌✨

[@jaroslavconka1177]

Getting faded and just singing along with these is a new hobbie of mine😌

[@KathyRichards-tr9zx]

This is my favourite video of yours so far. So peaceful and cosy. Living in the moment, embracing the quotidian. Looking forward to more videos.

[@CrankyKat4106]

I just discovered your channel this weekend, and I am loving your videos! I struggle to stay awake past 9:30 nowadays, but I miss my night owl era. Thank you for your beautoful, cozy videos! 💗

[@quiet_tales]

Thank you for your message 💜! How funny that we can switch sleep pattern throughout life 😄 - you get to discover both worlds ☺️!

[@Hausgemachte_Rezepte_von_Anna]

Love your calm and realistic vlogs. They are so peaceful.

[@ollie876]

That’s my favorite vibe of a vlog! Thank you for sharing and keep up the good work 😻

[@DeeMontezx1]

What a lovely cozy channel. At first I got the impression that it's another living solo channel but then I saw a hairy arm during dinner so not sure. Great ambience with the lights and the kitties.

[@denyshernandez505]

I love your style of editing and your vibe.. will now binge watch your videos. 😊❤

[@123.verdant]

I love this! So calm and peaceful! ❤ I just subscribed! 😊

[@user-xt6ic9zb1e]

First time subscriber and really loved your video! Thank you for sharing 😀

[@Kiki_Tsichla]

Not only do I love your videos and your cats but I also adore the fact that you're a 🌃 🦉 ! I'm tired of videos which talk about going to bed early in order to wake up early too. I mean, I also have two cats and I enjoy sleeping late after enjoying games with them! It's 02:20 at night now and my fur babies are chasing a mosquito 😂😂 (we're in Greece, you see). Lots of love! Thank you for your effort to produce such nice videos! 🧡

[@quiet_tales]

I wouldn't be able to do a 5.30am morning routine even if I tried, unless I decided not to go to bed at all 😄! Thank you so much for watching 🌼. I happen to be in Greece right now, in Crete actually - it's beautiful out here and I'm loving the food and cats everywhere 😍

[@Kiki_Tsichla]

@@quiet_tales I'm so happy you are in Crete, it's a fantastic place and I'm sure you will have a great time!! And street cats are so cute. Have fun and take care! Kisses from Athens 😊

I had a really stressful day today and your video just inspired me to go make some tea and turn on nice lighting in my home. Thank you ❤

[@quiet_tales]

really glad to hear it helped 💛! Thank you for watching 🫶

[@michellemeyer1649]

Warm milk with honey or maple syrup and some cinnamon. I don’t do this as much in summer but once my favorite season, Autumn starts I will make some every evening. I also drink bone broth.

[@nivekaperera]

I was having a burnout last night and was suffering so much from a tension headache and unsettled mind. I watched this video switching my lights off while applying a eucalyptus balm on my forehead. You have no idea how this video helped me calm down so much. ❤

[@quiet_tales]

Happy to hear you found some much deserved comfort after a hard day 🧡! Wishing you a calmer week ahead ☺️

[@Lumary]

So relaxing 🌅

Cosy evenings are the best, especially in this cold weather 🥰. Thank you for watching 🙇‍♀️

Me dá vontade de chorar, porque isso é tão lindo, e as vezes a gente esquece da beleza do simples 😍

[@susansalter566]

Your videos are beautiful art..thankyou for sharing💞💞🦋🙏

[@JazzycatCafe]

omg your kitties are adorable! Momo and Coco are really nice names! I love what a cozy place you have, and the routine you set for yourself! I'm trying to keep my night time routine consistent but it's not easy! Anyway very relaxing video, and I also have a cat named Felix :) Peace!

[@paulamigoswamibanerjee]

Thank you for another calming video 💗 Loved seeing your routine 😍 I really admire your lighting sense in the entire house, would honestly love to see them and your idea behind their placement and the impact it has on you ❤ ofcourse only if you are comfortable sharing 💗

[@quiet_tales]

Thank you for watching and for your lovely words 🤗🧡! I might be able to explain more my choices of lighting when I will do a home tour video 😊

[@paulamigoswamibanerjee]

@@quiet_tales yes please! Sounds so exciting omg 😍💗

[@BanjoeFlair]

Beautiful video, what a delight to watch. Unwinding is definitely a challenge and I find it is only possible (when it is) through intentionality. Thanks for sharing

[@quiet_tales]

Thank you for watching and your lovely words 🧡. Intentionality can help us be in the moment ☺️

[@laurastreet7600]

Hello! This is the first time I saw your video and I enjoyed it very much! It gave me things to look forward as today I found out I will be stepping down from my elementary school job in order to take care of my handicapped son full time since he had major surgery. I look forward to having a more relaxing night time routine! So thank you very much for sharing!

[@XaltLXRD]

Hope he's doing great!

[@quiet_tales]

Hi Laura - I am catching up on comments and only saw yours tonight. Thank you for watching and your kind words, I'm so pleased to hear it has been of some help 🫶! I hope your son is recovering well from surgery 💛 Take care

[@Amaddiegrace]

This video was so calming and peaceful! How did you get your candles to stay lit while you showered?! That seemed so relaxing having a lit candle shower 💗

Your videos are like a soothing balm, I really enjoy watching them. ps Beautiful Coco looks so much like my beloved kitty who past away. Tomorrow is the first anniversary of her death and seeing Coco brings back so many memories and strangely some comfort. Thank you. Thank you.

[@quiet_tales]

Sorry I'm so late to reply to your comment. Thank you for your kind message, it always means a lot that the videos help and bring a bit of peace 💛. So sorry to hear about your furry friend, sending you some love 💜 . Coco has become very cuddly recently, so we are appreciating her as much as we can 🫶

[@coraliepiteux8894]

Bonjour, je suis en train de découvrir tes vidéos, la qualité aide encore plus à se détendre. Je suis souvent stressée aussi le soir et j'aime bien regarder les vidéos de routine matin et soir avec les heures : ça aide à s'organiser ! J'ai toujours l'impression que le temps file à toute allure sans avoir eu le temps de me détendre ! Même lire le soir devient compliqué quand on a le cerveau submergé ! Merci !

[@quiet_tales]

Merci pour ton message 💛! Je connais bien ce sentiment du temps qui file sans s'en apercevoir. Parfois c'est aussi ok de juste apprecier un bon diner et aller se coucher sans en faire beaucoup plus 💛

[@radhikawithgoodreads7544]

I love the lights, plants and candles ❤ Can you please share links for lamps, lights in case it is bought online? 😊

[@theultimatefoodiebyuroojus2227]

[@utentenotturno901]

I really liked your video, love the colors of your house, the lights, your checkered mug (which brand makes it? Can I found it online?) Once I was a night owl too, I stayed up until 3, unfortunately the new job doesn't allow me, and I miss the peace and silence of the night so much, I miss staying up without looking at the clock, without feeling tired. I'll try to shower with candlelight only. Thanks for the video.

[@adelino9038]

Very good!

[@user-wf3ol5ux5o]

I like all the sound in the vlog

[@desafadljevic9]

[@b.anoniem9007]

In these vids I always miss how to create such routines when living a busy live and have to go working. I leave the house at 5:45 and come home at 18:00. I need to be in bed around 20:45. I don't get time to relax.

[@quiet_tales]

Thank you for watching 🌼! You’re right, it’s much harder when we have to go work outside of the house. I’m very lucky to work from home as my office is remote since the covid times ☺️. When I used to commute, I wouldn’t try to do as much but at least do one easy thing that I felt was purely for myself (a dimly lit shower for example). Hope you get some time to relax on your days off 💛

[@b.anoniem9007]

@@quiet_tales ❤️ Thank you. Fortunately i am able to work 2 dats at home. That takes away a lot of stress.
