I’ve been going through menopause for the last eight years so I know how it feels to crave sweets. It’s been rough for me too. I’ve also had no energy to exercise especially after work. I can’t wait till it warms up so I can start powerwalking. I also enjoy bike riding. Thanks for the video. I really missed you and your adorable doggies.😊

[@slowlifestories]

I feel the same way, I have such high expectations to workout and when I get home from work I’m so drained… It's great that you find ways to stay active despite the challenges… I know, this season can make it more difficult 😏 Thanks for watching 🥰🥰❤️❤️

Dear Claudia, I am so happy to see you back. The pot is gorgeous! I am fighting with anxiety too, drawing helps me, I feel you. For your sugar craving I recommend you to eat more legumes, like beans, peas or chickpeas. It gives you a lot of energy for a long time and stabilize your sugar level. So happy to have you back. Much love from Europe, where we have already spring! XX

[@slowlifestories]

Hi Daniela! ❤️ thank you for the tips, I’ll take the recommendation and let you know if it works out for me… sugar can be so addictive 😓 I’m sorry to hear that you are also dealing with anxiety… this is relatively new to me so I’m still trying to figure out how to cope with it… doing some type of art or craft always helps so I’m not surprised that drawing helps you! ☺️☺️ awesome, you already have spring!! 🌸🌼🌷 we still have another month or so of cold weather!

[@judithpurpora1493]

Your videos are so wonderfully crafted and calming. They bring me such joy. It’s hard to believe you deal with such anxiety when you have such a calming presence and thoughtful nature. I wish you peace and comfort during those times! Blessings and joy in this new year!! You are enough!!✌️💝

[@slowlifestories]

Thank you so much, I’m really happy that you enjoy the videos 🙏🏻🥰 I think it’s because of anxiety that I try my best to cope by living a calmer lifestyle… it’s relatively new, I’ve only had to deal with this for the past year or two… thanks so much again for your kind words! Wishing you a lovely week ❤️❤️

Hi Claudia! Greetings from London, Ontario, Canada! I am fairly new to your channel. I picked up on it when you posted your last balcony garden video. After watching that, I was hooked! Your videos are beautifully done and inspiring. I am so excited as we approach Spring to see your next gardening adventures on your beautiful balcony. To see what you were able to do in a small space was terrific! So glad to see you back. I wish you so much happiness in 2024 and thank you so much for providing these videos that are so calming and therapeutic! Take good care of yourself.

[@slowlifestories]

Awww 🥹🥹 your kind words mean a lot, and I'm so excited that you decided to stick around, welcome!! 🥰❤️ I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed my balcony garden video and find the other videos calming, that’s my goal ☺️🥰 Best wishes for you as well! ❤️❤️❤️

[@Shantelle6253]

Absolutely agree about SITC sequel 💔.

[@slowlifestories]

I had such high expectations… ☹️

[@Shantelle6253]

@@slowlifestories same. I tried. I had to stop watching when the were going to reintroduce Aiden....can't do it.

[@plotwhisperer5502]

Thank you, for another lovely video. I wish you could do more videos too, one your wish will come true. I often daydream of just working from home, I wish I could just be paid to read books and talk about them. But for now, I have to 9 to 5 thing happening, which takes up my reading time😢Anyway, I love watching your videos, your doggies and the snowy New England scenes…I currently, and staying clear of the heavy rainfall in Northern California. So, I wish you lots of happiness, and many blessings this year.

[@slowlifestories]

I appreciate your kind words, thank you! 🙏🏻 🥰❤️ I love that you enjoy the videos, and I share your daydream of working from home… the older I get the more I enjoy being home.. and with my introverted personality, it takes a lot of energy to have to interact with people all day, every day… How wonderful would it be to get paid to do what we love!? That would be the dream!! I’m jealous of people who actually get paid to do what they love… a good type of jealous.. more like admiration ☺️ but we should never give up on that dream, and just like I mentioned in today’s video, do one thing each day that gets us closer to where we want to be! Stay dry and safe in Northern California, and I hope you experience lots of happiness and blessings this year too! ❤️❤️❤️

Hello Claudia ,welcome back! , I'm glad you posted again. You are wonderful, creative, a beautiful soul.! Now regarding your craving for something sweet ,I'm going to tell you a trick, which will make you stop those blood sugar spikes , take a pen and write it down.😀➡"Magic water" , take 150 ml water and add a whole lemon, with peel, cinnamon, ginger, vinegar (quantities according to your taste). Put everything in the blender, and drink in the morning and in the evening 15 minutes before the meal.(pass it through the sieve.and drink)., but feel free to drink as many times as you urgently need something sweet. You can also drink cinnamon capsules or boiled water with cinnamon, it will help your control craving.I think you also know about the wonderful apple vinegar and its benefits, and start the day in the morning with a glass of warm water and vinegar! I also highly recommended Jessie Inchauspe's book, The GlocoseGoddess Method, it·s a must ,and only when you read it ,will you understand why! I wish you happy days, and I hug you with my soul ! Nicole from Spain .

[@slowlifestories]

Hi Nicole! 🙋🏻‍♀️ Thank you so much for sharing these recommendations, I’m sure it will be helpful for others as well… I’m definitely writing it down and trying it this week! I did a quick look up of the book and it has great reviews so I’ll be checking it out too! Thanks again for your kind and loving words 🥹☺️❤️❤️ I wish you an amazing rest of your week! 🥰

[@JulioGarcia-f3y]

Hi Claudia, as always, beautiful and relaxing!!😊😊

[@slowlifestories]

Thank you so much! ❤️🙏🏻

[@lisamolinar]

Well, Claudia, you know that I've been following you. I think almost from the beginning all your videos are quite pleasantly calming and relaxing they ground me& that I need to e mbrace time,it goes so fast before you know it time has flown by and I often look and think to myself. What did I do? Did I do anything to please myself not always but sometimes.😂 Time 2 take advantage of every second. You're a great reminder. And I love that, kiss Bella and Maya. For me, you and JC are so cute. I just love your lifestyle and the clay is so awesome. You make me wish I had a poetry oven in my house. How are you heating it. So very curious it's gorgeous and that must be very relaxing. You're starting your year off well .! when Spring starts. I'm really gonna start power walking again. It's been raining like atmospheric rivers here in California. God bless us all mud slides and everything❤

[@slowlifestories]

Hi Lisa! 🙋🏻‍♀️ yes, I know that you’ve been following for a long time and I really appreciate you and your kind, uplifting words 🙏🏻🥰❤️ thank you!! I’ve been enjoying learning about ceramics and how to work with clay… I don’t have a kiln at home, they are expensive and I would need good ventilation. I use a community kiln but hopefully one day I can have a kiln 🤞🏼☺️ I heard from someone else about the constant rain in California… power walking sounds like a great way to exercise! Wishing you a lovely day ahead! ❤️❤️

[@angelacurran5924]

What a lovely relaxing video. Your salmon dish looked absolutely delicious, I'm going to make it this week.

[@slowlifestories]

Glad you enjoyed it! ❤️🥰 and yes, it was delicious, you should definitely try it! 🤤

[@simplelifestylewithavin-eh5yl]

Hello dear friend, I am so happy with the new video, as always your work is excellent, unique. I really like the shots in your videos and feel relaxed watching them The first shot of the video is a beautiful snowy landscape, and the lighting of the wonderful candle begins So, the soundtrack is great, your creativity is admirable, I love the blue pitcher you made, it's very abstract and beautiful. Your excellent and healthy recipe is unique Congratulations on your high skills I am waiting for your great video, my dear colleague and artist ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@slowlifestories]

Thank you so much for your heartfelt appreciation! 🙏🏻🙏🏻 I'm glad you enjoyed the new video, especially the snowy landscapes. I think you are also very creative and I enjoy the hard work you put into your videos! I will catch up on the recent ones this week ☺️☺️ thanks again and I’m wishing you a lovely week ahead ❤️🥰🥰

[@simplelifestylewithavin-eh5yl]

​@@slowlifestoriesDear, I am very grateful for your kindness and sincere love I wish that your beautiful channel will become a million because people need peace and I wish that they will experience a part of peace in your videos, God willing

[@hannahkay1913]

I have just watched this and your previous video, and I am so relaxed now that I could just fall into a peaceful sleep. So lovely, thanks x

[@slowlifestories]

Aww I love that because that’s my goal with these videos.. provide a tranquil escape from this chaotic world, offering a moment of calm and relaxation ❤️❤️ thank you for sharing 🥰🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@robinturner7147]

I haven't watched the SITC sequel because I thought I might be disappointed . I love that little flower dish! Please show it to us after you fire and glaze it! Your meal looks delicious! I've never heard of black rice but now I want some!

[@slowlifestories]

You did good! Trust me you will be disappointed ☹️ yes, I will show the end result, it’s a long process because I use a community kiln so I need to have a lot of pieces ready to be fired to make the trip worth it.. black rice is pretty good, I really like it and even more when I think about the health benefits it has ☺️☺️❤️

[@TheMennomilist]

Working with clay is so much fun. I enjoyed watching you create. The meal you made is similar to ones I make. I love tofu and sweet potato meals! Mmm. I loved the insight you gave about black beans! That was cool to learn.

[@slowlifestories]

Thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻 I’m glad you enjoyed it, and yes, playing with clay is so fun! I find it therapeutic 🥰❤️❤️

[@silvitagarcia3541]

Hola como siempre fabuloso el video y como muestras tu día a día , sentirse bien y estar saludable es una de las cosas más importante en la vida, sigue cuidándote y sé que cuesta dejar la azúcar pero poco a poco te vas acostumbrando a comer menos. Nuestro cuerpo nos habla solo escúchalos.Muchas bendiciones y estás hermosa.

[@slowlifestories]

Muchas gracias!!! 🥰🥰🙏🏻❤️

[@arcana4944]

Hi Claudia ! Nice video, as usual. Have you ever tried yoga ? If you feel you don't have enough energy to work out, that is a very good way to begin. It can be very smooth, and then you can level up when you want. By the way, I find your meals quite healthy, at least those we can see in your videos. You're right, it is not about having a perfect image of your body, but about doing it good... ❤❤❤

[@slowlifestories]

Hi! ❤️ Yes, I’ve done yoga before and really liked it… but even that is a struggle… what I’ve done more recently is yin yoga, which is basically stretching for longer periods of time and it’s relaxing but not very active… I want to start doing yoga again, but I haven’t been motivated enough 😏 yes, we tend to have healthier meals as much as we can, but when I feel too tired to cook, I order food that’s not so healthy… but the biggest thing is the craving for sweets and lack of physical activity! But I’m determined to get my body feeling better, healthier and stronger this year! 🙏🏻☺️❤️❤️

Would you happen to know the name of the song you use to open up this video? It is so lovely. I would like to hear the entire song if I could find it. Thanks Claudia!

[@slowlifestories]

Sure! The intro song is Ballerina by Yehezkel Raz ☺️ I love it too! 🥰

[@55flowers1]

Terrific! Thanks a bunch!!@@slowlifestories

[@Jennhealy]

Beautiful video! I also love sex and the city and was very disappointed in the new series. Def a no for me. We had a lot of snow too in PA. What state do you live in?

[@slowlifestories]

Thank you!! ❤️❤️🙏🏻 I’m in CT… and yes, what a shame 😏 a lot of people feel the same way!

Не пережевайте ,сладкие продукти ето не сахар ,ето ірукти и овощи ,и еще не застовляйте себя делать то что не хотите ,отпустите себя ,и сразу перестаните набирать вес ,и вас любят и так ,правда

[@slowlifestories]

Thank you so much! 🙏🏻❤️❤️ I’ll try to not overthink it.. eating more fruits will hopefully satisfy my cravings for sweets, and they are a much healthier alternative! 😊

Hi!! ❤️❤️ Thank you so much for sharing a little about you! It's wonderful to hear about your retirement and your son’s engagement. Congratulations on buying a house for your son and preparing for the upcoming wedding in April, I’m sure it will be amazing 🥰 You’re correct, I'm in North America, but I'm not from Japan… I’m from an island in the Caribbean, named Cuba 🇨🇺 My husband and I visited Turkey during our honeymoon in 2019. We only went to Cappadocia though, but would love to go back and visit other parts of your beautiful country… Wishing you continued joy, peace, and happiness in your life. Thank you for watching, for your kind words and sending a big hug your way! 🥰❤️❤️
