The Art of Slow Living

As autumn arrives, I'm reminded of the importance of slowing down and appreciating the little things that make life joyful 🍂. In this video, I share how challenging finding a balance between productivity and embracing slow living can be, especially as the pace of life picks up. Every September, I get a little overwhelmed by seeing the end of the year coming at great pace. The end of summer always happens suddenly, and collapses into autumn.
Spending time embracing autumnal habits has helped grounding myself in time, and appreciate slow and mindful moments.
I've been experimenting a little with this recent video, with the addition of voiceover. I felt that writing subtitles was limiting me to engage with you, and share stories. Let me know what you think 🧡

Thank you for watching 🧡. What are your favourite ways to slow down and appreciate the moment?

[@anashappydays]

Slowing down with a cup of chai tea, wrapped in wool, in front of the fire and eating a cinnamon bun, is the perfect picture of autumn for me 🍂

[@hayleyprior5666]

There’s something really soothing to me when it rains, curled up with a hot drink watching it fall outside the window! Love your videos, I find your cooking so inspiring and I also love cats too! Thank you 💓 xx

[@Num_b]

watching your videos with a cup of tea, has become, one of my favorite moments to slow down 🥰

[@anashappydays]

Greetings from Norway ❤ Autumn is very extreme in here, with the temperatures dropping a lot. It is a time to slow down and stay at home more, next to the fire, baking more with the aromas of cinnamon and vanilla in the air and enjoying the simple routines of everyday life even more. ☕️✨

[@ReneLewis64]

I loved hearing your voice. Please continue to do these.

[@tinalemna7998]

It was so nice hearing your voice. This entire video was like listening to a beautiful poem and I always love seeing Coco and Momo. I hope you have a beautiful week. 😊

[@quiet_tales]

Thank you Tina 🧡🙇‍♀️! Hope you’re having a lovely autumn

[@ZoieandZhelyan]

Love the voice over! And just how you incorporate all the subtle sounds of the different shots. From the paper crinkling, the sound of rain, the clinking of the spoon on the plate, these little details show a lot of care in your work. Thank you for sharing your world with us and helping us to slow down. ,,🙏💜

[@momogumi8629]

This is definitely one of the best, if not THE best, of your videos. And your voice is so soothing, just perfect for this season😊 The weather here has been absolutely gorgeous lately and I’m really enjoying it! Hope you have a lovely autumn as well❤

[@quiet_tales]

Thanks for your lovely words 🧡! I have put a little extra work in this one, glad it didn’t go unnoticed ☺️. Wishing you a lovely autumn 🍂

[@702desertmom]

Loved the voiceover! It adds so much to your videos 😊 sending greetings from Las Vegas and it’s still warm here but it doesn’t stop me from bringing autumn inside my house! I can’t wait til the weather catches up. 🍂🍁🥧

[@debrairving4847]

That was very beautiful. Thank you for sharing. You are a wonderful, beautiful person. The pie looks delicious, and your cats are absolutely adorable ❤

[@amyisaac2443]

Simply beautiful!So lovely to hear your voice x

[@josiahmosher3545]

September always feels strange to me, like torn between joy and loss. Feeling like I’m missing something, yet waiting for something that isn’t here yet. Autumn is always my favourite, yet I feel immense sadness at the same time, although it’s slipping through my fingers, like sand in an hourglass.

[@Tris-t2h]

The transition from the calm background music to a man’s voice almost from a retro tv show into ur soft calm voice was truly enchanting I was so surprised at first coz it felt almost surreal. I was just like when did we go from quiet tales to quiet and subtly poetic tales 😂 but jokes apart I think the voice over was absolutely beautiful so well put and as always your videos continue to be ray of sunshine in our fast paced lives. Yet another absolutely stunning video can’t wait to more of such videos. Wishing you peace and joy in the quiet embrace of autumn's arrival. May you find comfort in the soft whispers of falling leaves and the golden light that fills the fading days, a season of quiet reflection and gentle transformation. Happy Autumn! ☕️🥧🍁🧡

[@Kiki_Tsichla]

🍂🍁🧡 Thank you for this amazing video! The voiceover was a wonderful idea, it made the video even more calming. I take some time to watch my cats sleep, groom or play when I want to slow down, it always reminds me of what life should be like ☺️ Have a great autumn, everyone! Greetings from Athens, Greece 🤍

[@susierogers2207]

I love the voice over. Very soothing and filming is just beautiful.

[@antarakarmakar7249]

Thanks for adding voiceover, this really saved me from reading the tiny subtitles😅, I could enjoy your video more.... 😊

[@Zyy225]

I loved your voice over.. This video is exactly what I needed to be patient yet hold my ground and not giving up on my dreams ❤

[@drew-alexander]

Really enjoyed the addition of a voice over in this! I'm eagerly awaiting that summer-to-autumn transition to be over. I find myself yearning for the cool weather, the warmth indoors, and all of the sights, sounds, and smells that this time of the year brings.

[@brittanyd.432]

Love all your videos but this one with the voice over was my favorite. You have such a calm soothing voice. Sometimes it is hard to fully enjoy videos when you have to read the words on the screen. But with a voice over you can pay attention to everything that is going on in the video at the same time. Your pie looked delicious!

[@subhratadey6387]

Its such a pleasure watching your videos. Thank you

[@IlFilodiArianna_vlog]

wow, wow, just wow! 🥰 I really liked that you introduced the voiceover, it added something more personal and magical to your tale 🍂 also, what you've shared resonated with me a lot: I've been struggling to go back to my routine, since September changed the rythm of my life! I felt very understood and less alone, so thank you so much 🧡

[@Caminataporelmundo]

Omg. 😮 finally. I can hear you. Mu dream come true

[@ozgena.]

I love your voiceover video. And I love your videos. Thanks for sharing your life with us 🌸🌸

[@IsobelHouseman]

It was lovely to see you again, and to hear your voice. I enjoyed the video very much. I miss the long days of summer, but love the morning and evening light at this time of year. Your apple pie looked fabulous!

[@quiet_tales]

Thank you 🧡! I agree the golden light in this season is beautiful ✨

[@JLMBerry]

In this season, I enjoy knitting, growing vegetables at the valcony and taking deep bress. Beautiful sky make me feel so good. Your videos are the spice of my life. I'm glad to watch this video with your voice. Thank you🧡💫🎑

[@BarbaraBoholm]

This was a lovely treat,to hear your voice... As always your videos are truly soulfood,so comforting and relaxing to watch!!! Warm hugs on its way to you

[@Inmyvisualdiary]

The process of making apple pie was so therapeutic to watch !! Love and wishes from fellow vlogger 🍂🍂

[@amyfaurote1488]

I like to read. Time becomes insignificant as I read, entering a new world with a different cast of characters. This video was stunning. Beautiful. Thank you for sharing. Peace 🕊️

[@andreagasparini8217]

Hello from Italy! I loved hearing your voice

[@NatalieWilliams-rx3ze]

I absolutely love you're videos and you're style of creation regards filters and the old rectro woody allen style of you're content. You're, my favorite vlogger on KZbin. Voice over or no voice you're videos are awesome either way with you're talent. You inspire myself to create video content. Thank you.

[@quiet_tales]

Ha thank you so much 🥲🧡! Thank you for watching 🙇‍♀️

[@diariesofjoy]

The voice over was wonderful! This was the most peaceful and thought provoking Autumnal video I’ve watched this season. Beautifully done. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Wish I could taste that pie and tea! 🍁

[@ireneliasides5441]

Love the voice over so calming

[@steve-xz1vv]

Your videos always bring light into our home 🥰 Autumn is my favourite season, so seeing your video made me feel cosier than ever! I can't wait for everything outside to be full of colour. You have a very beautiful voice and I enjoyed the video a lot! Sending warm hugs and see you in your next video! 💛

[@quiet_tales]

Thank you 🧡! Autumn is fully there now that it’s October, hope you’re having a lovely season where you are.

[@Cupcake6907]

Greetings for Texas, USA! I loved this video so much. Your voice over was perfect! I can Tewa it to make your apple pie! Looking forward to seeing your next video 🥰

[@Helcyon]

What a beautiful video! Honestly, this is your best video yet! I mean it. I love the voiceover and hope you keep it for future videos. You have a calm and nice way of speaking that complements the imagery and your poetic words. And speaking of the imagery, you did a great job with the camera and picking great scenes and angles. I really felt like I was watching a movie or another professionally-made video. Really, great job and I hope you feel proud of this one 😄 Thank you for this video. I'm coming out of a malaise I have been in, and the seasonal transition is landing here at the same time, so this video resonates with that for me. I hope you have a good week and I look forward to the next video!

[@quiet_tales]

Aw thank you 🥹🧡. I put a little extra work in this one, and happy to hear you enjoyed the addition of voiceover! Wishing you a smooth transition to autumn 🧡

[@drizzeladesouza1305]

This is beautiful, thank you for sharing your thoughts and your space with us:)

[@mariaisabelperezmiori9394]

I am so glad you’re back. Missed your videos so much. Greetings from Brazil ❤❤

[@momentsbeautiful932]

Wat a lovely video❤...it touched my heart ...

[@kittyfriend4]

This video is really beautiful! I loved the voice over with your lovely voice. Your videos always bring me a sense of comfort and for some reason I had tears in my eyes with this one. Autumn came so quickly and I guess I'm feeling the melancholy too. Your pie looked delicious and I'm so impressed with your baking talent. I hope you have a wonderful golden light filled autumn. Give your kitties a kiss for me. 🌻🍁🧡

[@quiet_tales]

Ah so happy to hear you enjoyed it 🥰! Wishing you a lovely autumn 🍂 🧡

[@fe-arri]

More a poem than a tale… loved it.

[@hanchad]

“Somehow life gets in the way of living”, I really resonate with this. Well done you also for trying something different with the voice over, it was nice to see you reading Tales From the Cafe (?), one of my favourite reads so far this year! I hope you are able to enjoy more slow moments this autumn 🧡 my favourite ways to slow down are probably reading, or having a warm bath and meditating 😌

[@nazeninhanimm]

I loved your vlog! Your voice make feel so relaxing 🌸

[@Sbmhdk]

Thank you 🧡

[@katepaterson4052]

Beautifully calming video.... many thanks! 💕✨

[@lockstrife]

Hey, nice to see you again in YT. It was lovely hearing your voice, for me it's like I'm listening to a poem being read. We don't get to experience Autumn here, but I really love watching this. It's really cozy. I can actually smell the Apple Pie or cinnamon from here haha. Have a great season 🧡🍂. Watching your videos help me slow down after a work day 🍵

[@Elise-e5u]

Great video 👍❤. Love the voice overs and the pie looks delicious 😋😊❤

[@gailhamlyn2910]

Beautiful, loved the voice over! Ty!😊

[@dee4139]

This video feels like a breath of fresh air :) thank you for reminding me to romanticize my life and take the moment to slow down and experience the beauty around me. Life always gets so busy that I forget how to enjoy the small pleasures. This video truly captures the essence of the art of slow living ❤

[@justnoticing]

Autumn is my favourite season here in Melbourne, Australia. The days are still warm but not too hot and we have lovely crisp mornings and cool evenings which make it easier to sleep. There are lots of things to enjoy such as the start of winter sports, the autumn colours and smells and the warm food. Your apple pie looks delicious. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us. I enjoy your slow living at home and walks out in the parks. The new voice over is great but I prefer your voice to the male voice.

[@Gypsy-Bluebird]

Stunning video … love your voiceover and the music was simply beautiful. I always love your content …. Hope to see you again soon x

[@sumaraahmad5567]

❤❤❤

[@FlyingElectra]

Ah très jolies améliorations 😊 ici aussi l’été a fait une dernière échappée (26 degrés) j’ai eu la chance de pique-niquer sur la plage mais l’automne est bien là, les feuilles tombent et leurs couleurs changent. J’adore cette saison et je pars au Québec profiter de l’été indien. Mon chat salue les tiens (ah l’attrait d’une boite, irrésistible 😅) j’espère que malgré le rythme tu t’épanouis dans ton nouveau job. 😊

[@brisacostera]

So fun to hear your voice! It's so unique and sweet. ❤

[@AfricancoolChic]

Beautiful video and loved the voice over 🧡🤎🧡

[@diva7892]

Where have you been? Great to watch your vlog again❤ Love the voice over too

[@minimalmomgreece]

Greetings from Greece. Wonderful fall video ❤

[@vaqueen5554]

I really enjoy your videos, especially this one. Please keep up the good work and continue to use your voice. I do not start switching my clothes around until November. The apple pie with ice cream looked good. I don’t eat apple pie unless I have ice cream, lol. I live in the United States and the weather can be unpredictable. I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

[@amandinem.8196]

Sublime ! Merci 🙏

[@sumanagowda]

Allo! Loved the new format of your video. I always wondered what you might sound like...and now I know 😜 very soothing, comforting and in some way a romantic voice ❤ Somewhat European, if I may say so😊 The fonts are very tiny though 😢😢 And like all your viewers here I too look forward to your videos. A kind of calm descends upon me when i watch them. Very comforting indeed. Merci!

[@rururu86]

映画を観ている様な動画が新鮮で素敵です♥️♥️♥️

[@Miettesdetrucs]

You're voice !! Waw it's so reconforting (is it english to say that ?? so sorry if it's not). I miss your videos. As you said in your description box september is hard for me too. Watching your video remind me to slow down and be patient with myself.

[@TheSharmasVloggingZone]

Nice video

[@Leo.Albuquerque02]

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@anjajune6747]

love your cozy videos. love your very cinematographic style.. I can tell you pay a lot of attention to how to tell a story through images.. loved you doing the voiceover. the other voice not so much.. it is too clinical.. too observational.. like a laboratory.. documentary.. it does not fit with your personal, intimate, cosy atmosphere.. i understand it could be like adding an artistic touch/movie like.. the way he sounds.. the comments.. are just to cold for me.. like you are some kind of a laboratory animal.. plus i do not like a male's voice making such objective comments about very personal moments of a female.. let it be her 1st person voice who does her own narrative.. (just my thoughts of course... you do what you want and do what you want to convey.. play, explore.. i will be ok with it, either way you choose.. just sharing this, because you asked for a response from us)

[@quiet_tales]

Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts ☺️!

[@ColtellinoJoe]

noooo, you’re speaking in this one.. so sad. were more relaxing the ones with just music 😢

[@kurispie]

Loved it with your voice! Very... immersive. It's almost like we can feel the warm vibe of autumn🍂A tres bientot
