What is your favorite thing to do on a cozy evening or slow weekend afternoon? 🤍

[@judith.corinne]

swing dancing!

[@AshlynneEaton]

Oooh love that!

[@AdrianaPina567]

I know Netflix binging is so cliche but it’s a guilty pleasure. To be truly peaceful though, I like to get cozy on my couch with a good book and hot chocolate. There is nothing better!

[@kataluna3551]

Make tea and watch your videos! Try to substitute the oil for the same amount of the Trader Joe’s pumpkin butter the muffins will taste even better.

I enjoy a glass or 5, of Makers Mark 46

[@DemetriPanici]

Who else needs a better self care routine?

[@AshlynneEaton]

I think we all do! 🥰

[@cathylynnpietranton]

Light a candle and watch a Hallmark movie. Thanks Ashlynne for sharing your routing❤

[@AshlynneEaton]

That sounds awesome Cathy! 🤍

[@elizabethmaraj530]

Hi Ashlynne. I know this is probably a little strange, but I just wanted to let you know that I’ve been having severe anxiety lately, and your videos help to calm me down, because they’re so soothing and calming, so I just wanted to say thank you for that. Wishing you well. ❤️

[@desiree111]

The quality of your videos have gone up so much! I can tell you’ve been working on your voice, and the framing of the shots you get is just on point. It was so zen to watch 🤗

[@AshlynneEaton]

Oh thank you so much! I switched microphone’s recently and that helped a lot 🥰

[@ezclean7022]

Her voice? What did she change?

@@desiree111 Ohh, wow. I too noticed a difference but didn't know what it was. Never really heard of SPEAKING from the diaphragm. I'm going to look into it 😊

[@donnas411]

Your self-care routine looks so relaxing. I do love to light candles and read books. You make self-care seem delightful. Thank you.

[@TrulyBeauty]

love this! this is relaxing ✨✨✨

[@ballroomred]

When you’re stippling in something like the center of that flower, sprinkling a little salt on it can create a neat sort of stippled/mottled look.

[@AshlynneEaton]

Oh thank you so much for the tip! I’ll definitely try that! 🤍

[@emiliacavero5845]

Your videos are so calming, and I love that your captions are correct to be inclusive of deaf and hard of hearing viewers. Thank you for your work. 🤗❤️

[@rockerbaby2003]

The brush you use, don’t dip it in water as deep, it risks messing up the wood of the brush. Just dip the bristles and some metal.

[@tammyf1541]

This sounds like a perfect cozy day. 💜☺️

[@virys.m.]

This is why I love watching your videos, I feel so relaxed after and wonder why in the world was I feeling so rushed and stressed, to begin with.

[@DiariesOfMarla]

So peaceful

I really love how calming and relaxing your life is so inspiring , I wish mine was the same but I have two children running around I never get a minute for self care 😔🖤

[@AshlynneEaton]

Thanks Gemma! And I totally understand how hard that can be with kids, try to steal little moments wherever you can 🤍

One of my favorite things is to go for walks and just admire the fall colors and beautiful weather recently :)

[@lauran8528]

You are quite an artist for just being a beginner at painting with water colors! Beautiful! I love your videos. So inspirational.

[@AshlynneEaton]

Oh thank you so much! I’ve always enjoyed painting in different mediums in the past, so this has been a fun change for me! 🥰

[@AshlynneEaton]

[@mackenzie5716]

This is the perfect video for today!!

[@AshlynneEaton]

Yes!! 🙌 I feel like we all need some relaxation today 🥰

[@jessicaisaacs4925]

I love this and all your videos. You have such a special way of communicating and filming that makes me always feel so relaxed and in touch with my heart. I wanted to pass on a new baking trick I’ve been using lately that I thought you might appreciate. I’ve switched from using oil to using apple sauce, crushed banana, or this time of the year, pumpkin purée when making baked goods and wow it’s honestly such a game changer. Definitely do what makes you happy but I thought I’d share :)

[@hopefullytruee]

Thank you for these tips and ideas :) I’ve been really needing to put more time into self care recently 💗 also I loved how seamless the transitions were

[@AshlynneEaton]

Oh thanks so you much!! 🤍

[@sachiniramasinghe9678]

The video shored up the day’s mine better.

[@pupdgc]

This is such a great video. I needed a break from Election Night news and a way to start winding down for the night, and your video really helps to place me in that mindset. Now to read my book!

[@AshlynneEaton]

Oh I love that! election night can definitely be stressful, so I’m glad this could help a bit 🥰🤍

[@jessicabowen4818]

Love this ...thank u....please do more like this ....have a good day ..😊❤❤...

[@AshlynneEaton]

Oh so glad you enjoyed it Jessica! 🥰

[@Retiree1992]

Self care for me is the time to knit to crochet a WIP. Enjoy a hot cup of decaf with a spiced pumpkin creamer. I love your method of using a French press for loose teas. For the extra cup and yes the loose herbs. I generally use a special spoon that has a one serving amount and holds the tea leaves in. I recently bought from Ikea a loose tea with cocoa and peppermint. It is very light but so so good. Oh and now with seeing your video will be making Klondike (prepared mixture I purchased at Target recently) this afternoon. Have a lesson plan to begin, chores to get with but love this motivation. Happy drawing.

I make a quick lemonade for myself all the time its so nice. Mmm try adding mint [if u grow any] or a sliced strawberry 😊 u can even use a chopped frozen berry!!

[@amyhoover9]

My routine varies since my job is outside of my home. Usually when I am at work, I may have lunch outside if the weather permits, or just go phone-free so that I can actually enjoy the meal I put together. On a day off like today however, I might take a bath, listen to something (like an audiobook or podcast), spend time with my boyfriend via Discord and then go about my skin care routine. Thank you for sharing this very relaxing and inspiring video, Ashlynne! :)

One of my favorite videos from you yet! If you're interested in mysteries I also recommend Dorothy Sayers' Peter Wimsey and Rex Stout's Nero Wolfe.

[@AshlynneEaton]

Oh thanks so much Judith! Just wrote both of those recommendations down and I’ll check them out! 🥰🤍

[@MarineBrnd]

Thrift shops are such a good place for finding books! I found a 1995 copy of Pride and Prejudice in a charity shop in the UK 10 years ago and it has been my favorite novel ever since. The Murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie is also very very good!

[@jaquiqui]

So glad that you're enjoying an Agatha Christie book. I love her mysteries. I highly recommend And Then There Were None.

[@AshlynneEaton]

Oh thank you so much for the recommendation! 🤍

[@eightiesforever3574]

I recommend Third Girl and Why they didn't ask Evans, my favs of Agatha 😊

[@joanmayer304]

Jackie Sotto And Then There Were None is also my favourite book. The old 1945 movie is also great. I also love Death On The Nile.

[@AllThingsAlexa]

Yes I make my lemonade like that. Soo good. I like to drink Aveda tea and have a bath or shower for self care💛
