romanticising a quiet life 💌 journaling, reading & being a homebody

hello friend, i hope you’re well :)
since moving to edinburgh in october 2022, i have embraced a much quieter life compared to when i lived in london and shared a flat with two people. i would never be home because it was too small, and i would go crazy in my tiny bedroom. but now that i live on my own (for the very first time), i’m savouring these small moments in which to find daily happiness. like lingering in the kitchen while having breakfast, taking over the living room for leisurely activities like journaling or reading books without having to think i’ve got 30 minutes before someone gets home and it won’t be peaceful anymore. that’s why i love to romanticise having a quiet life. sometimes, a good book and a cup of coffee are all you need.
thank you for hanging out with me xx

i love that your vlogs always manage to calm me down. Even though you're doing things and out and about I get a very chilled vibe from them. So, thank you! I guess you kept reading the one about dreams.

[@amandinebula]

I'm so glad my vlogs have that effect on you! It makes me happy to hear they bring you a sense of calm. And yes, you guessed right ☺

[@FreakUsOut]

I just got back from Edi and your vlogs are taking me straight back. Thank you so much for sharing your days ❤

[@amandinebula]

My pleasure 💕 I hope you had a fab time in the city!

Hi Amandine, it looks like you had a lovely day! I was also very excited for the Uniqlo store to open in Edinburgh and I'm looking forward to trying their coffee and cake once it gets quieter :) and I really like your white jeans :)

[@amandinebula]

Me too! I definitely want to try the cakes 😋 the jeans are from JJXX. I also have a black pair and I’m contemplating getting a regular blue one as well, the fit is so nice!

Je me mets à la recherche du livre "le grand magasin des rêves"

[@megalomath]

la couverture en anglais est si belle ! en français bien moins...

[@amandinebula]

C’est vrai qu’elle n’a pas le même impact! Le focus est sur les rêves plutôt que le magasin mais j’aime beaucoup l’illustration et les tons choisis.
