I want to hear your thoughts on this!!! & suggestions! There’s sooo many ways to romantisize your life so let’s have a little convo in the comments & support eachother 😚😚😚😚ily all!!
I think these suggestions are really good!! Can you do one for romanticising school if you haven’t already? But it’s your choice!! Ik it’s hard to do EVERYONE’S suggestions lol
Highly recommend creating a comfort ritual for whatever events seemed to be in your life at the moment if you want you can take a box and collect elements and then when that moment happens you already to go for example a period box could have a hot water bottle some chocolate bars some Advil or aspirin whatever you use some salt chips a playlist a list of videos that you like to watch as you lay in bed, a soft lounge outfit just so that when it hits you are prepared and make it nice as you can. No doubt about it getting your cycle hurts and is a miserable experience but I found with a little deep breathing and being prepared was always better than realizing it the last moment and then you got to go get this and you feel terrible and you just lay there and suffer. Take some time and prepare your comfort rituals ahead of time. Doesn't have to cost a lot of money but think of it as self-care for the future you.
One of my favourite things is to go out with my dog, find a nice quiet spot and read or have a picnic together. And afterwards you feel great and content and that’s one of the best parts.
I made a ridiculous Pinterest board that I knew I wouldn't do and then magically I got to go to LA, going to NYC and now Iceland too. It's wild what you can manifest.
Same I pinned my dream college just for the aesthetic of it on my 2024 Pinterest board and then somehow everything worked itself out and I was accepted, got a large enough scholarship to make it possible, and found someone who was able to fix up my car for a reasonable price so I can commute safely I was shook
I've watched many 'romanticize my life' kind of video's, but I have to say this might be the best one. Because as beautiful as those video's are of women living in the beautiful countryside in a little cottage making their own food, it's not realistic for most of us. And I'm saying that as someone who lives in the countryside lol. But this video actually feels realistic, like I can actually take things from this video and implement it into my own life. And I can imagine someone who lives a totally different life from me, in the city and a different study and hobbies, can still pull things from this video. What I'm just trying to say is thank you for being here.
@@laura_B24 this means so much to me, thank you so much. I really wanted it to feel realistic and applicable even if our lives look different, so truly this means the world to me! Sending love🥹
I'm old enough to be your grandmother and I also have ADHD, and I have to say this is the sweetest, most realistic and thoughtful vidio I've come across for romancing your life You reminded me of several tiny things I can do every day Thanks!
Our situations are very different, but I like how non specific your words are. Just very realistic. I’m chronically ill and many days I can’t “jump out of bed and dance to start the day”, I’m glad I can drag myself out of bed to put the kettle on. Most of these videos concentrate heavily on going somewhere and doing things. But if you can’t do those things it all seems extra unfair.
@@LisaOuwersloot I totally agree with you, tysm for commenting. I really tried to make this video applicable even if our lives look very different so I’m so glad that resonated, sending you lots of love 🥹
I've written this masterpiece on paper. It says, "You don't need to keep waiting. Some beautiful moments are hidden in the mundane if you take the time to notice them." And this is the most beautiful I've ever heard.
One of my favorite quotes related to being cringe is “I am cringe, but I am free.” I’ve been trying to remind myself of that lately. I should not care if I’m being “cringey” as long as I’m happy and doing what I love.
This video was NOT cringey in the slightest!! I loved this video, I did 7 pages on self reflection in journal from this 27 minute video. Thank you so much 4 posing it ily 🫶🏽💗
this is not cringy at all! i actually was looking forward to watching this after seeing it in my homepage, because everything seems boring. but this reminds me that actually there’s lots of cool stuff in my life already. like what you said about “eyes of a stranger” or something. i live near a beach and i was reminded of that post about a beach town girl going to the beach and seeing a person who had never seen the ocean marvel at the water. and the girl said “if i were to choose, i’d rather be seeing the beach through her eyes, where everything is awe inspiring”. like, we can all choose to be amazed at things around us. i’m glad you posted this, it’s really inspiring.
i have a lot of favourite things that are "signature" bc i hate change. i sit at the same bus seat, i listen to the same songs (they switch occasionally), i wear the same necklace, and i did it unintentionally so thats cool
Same here. The favourite bus seat I feel so much. And I mean, if its feel right, why changing? But if you feel stuck in this way you could try a "switching-tuesday" tuesday you sit at another bus sest intentionally, wearing another necklace or going another way than usual. Nothing big, just small changes
@@vll3yy I totally feel this. I have my comfort items, routines, ect and also think it’s rlly cool (even tho I used to pressure myself to branch out) I’ve found so much joy and peace sinking into the pockets of comfort and routine and I love that about us! :) 💖
this video helped me sooo much. i feel like i’ve been so distant from who i want to be and the version of myself that makes me happiest. in a way, i feel like i’ve lost myself a little bit. but i feel like by paying attention to the smaller things in the world, my love for life and my love for myself will slowly return. thank you so so much :) ps. i’ve seen so many people recommend writing down what you’re grateful for in like notebooks but i always thought it would be too time-consuming or too boring but i might actually try it cause i might like it
@@amelie2668 I’ve totally been there myself and definitely feel like sometimes it’s so hard to like pay attention to your own thoughts - ya know? Like what do I think? what do I like? What do I not like? Just slowing down and finding those tiny pockets of our days can help so much to feel more connected to our own minds and self. Sending you lots of love🥹
I know this sounds silly, but I realized I lost my way in life and lost a great amount of interests on things I used to enjoy , and you just gave me a big inspiration on how I can actually try again and like... try function as a human. Thank you, really
this is like a really effective crash course! not only you're making us aware of the beauty of things we already have but also inspiring us to incorporate sweet little things in life like greeting and complimenting people, creative hobbies, documenting life, etc. thanks a lot! and you're beautiful!!
As a self proclaimed “old soul” I often find myself lost in society these days. I feel disconnected from most of the people around me because of the differences- I seem to lack the ability to connect with things I don’t understand. As a woman diagnosed late with ADHD it has been a difficult journey over the past year redefining myself and my behaviors. I am so grateful I ran across your lovely video this morning and I am so excited to learn more from you💜
I just fell in love with your mindset and outlook because I completely agree with everything here! It's so easy to get lost in wanting to be all these different things and people that you see around you that we tend to forget that maybe the most romantic thing to be is just yourself
While I love how you are able to romanticize your life using new items and routines, I've been down that road and it hasn't completely worked personally. It would bring short term joy, but something you did that I didn't, is that you were incredibly intentional with your actions and implementing enjoying each thing you had to do. I used to rely on other items to make me happy and it just spiraled, but now I'm going to be more intentional! While you get more items that you implement in being intentional, I am cleaning items I don't use anymore to be intentional! Thank you for bringing this to light!!
"we often feel pressure to act cool and feel that it's cringey to be excited about little things!" I know I'm quoting you wrong but this is golden wisdom! Amazing that you're young adult with this wisdom already! I hope you go places (:
I do the same thing with seasonal pinterest boards! It helps me enjoy and look forward to the seasons changing instead of dreading the change. It also helps me "choose" an aesthetic for the season, make cute outfits, decorate, and so much more.
my god! some of the things u mentioned in this video are literally what i have been trynna do in my life from past some weeks, but ur video made me feel i was doing it right and its more important to romanticize life...
This has helped me so much, thank you! While summer makes so many people happy, I find it a hard time with insecurity and loneliness due to distance from friends. With your suggestions I hope I can make each day a little happier 💗💗
Feeling cringe or people making you feel cringe for loving life is such a wild thing. Why are we all trying to pretend to be cool and bored when we have one life?! Love this vid
I really like that you said that at the end romanticizing doesn't mean I do the things mentioned here or that are popular on the internet but that it means to make my life a bit more mine Do what feels go for me What genuinely feels good and not what everybody says should feel good. I feel like I still can't name an activity like that even though I have many interests like making music, playing the guitar, sports. I think I always put pressure on myself to be really good at everything I pick up. So it's fun at the beginning but eventually becomes torture. I like to make music but I haven't been able to finish a song. I tell myself it's just for me and nobody else, I'll not share with anybody but still I cringe at the lines that I write😂 and that's how I never finish it. Maybe I should find something else? Maybe I should keep giving this another tries? I don't know. The most important thing is enjoying myself. That's what hobbies are there for! Why can't I remember this every single day😂
I've started crocheting. After learning this I feel like at least I can do something. I've made some clothing pieces. And I wear them outside. I just feel so happy about it. Now I think I really should try sewing.
Not cringy at all! So lucky to be in your orbit. You’ve always been exceptional at enjoying the little things and finding humor in the corners. LOVE this one so much 🎉❤🎉
Hey Gigi! I feel like I’m currently sliding right into a quarter-life-crisis and navigating life through that has been rough. Your video helped me so much to get my sparkle back and seeing the positive side of this challenging time: It’s up to me to create a beautiful life for myself. I loved your tips and I feel especially inspired to take more photos and organize my pinterest boards to stay inspired. Thank you so much for sharing this video. Sending you lot’s of love! xx
Have been feeling lost recently but this video has really grounded me and made me look to the smaller things in life as a source of joy. You make so much sense, and your narration seems totally effortless. You are an incredible communicator - Its hard to get people to listen to you and actually understand you at the same time, but you have it down to a fine art. It seems like you really understand yourself which I think is a massive strength. Thank you for sharing something from your little corner of the world, it seems beautiful there.
The seasonal themed Pinterest boards helped me with seasonal depression too! I added Pinterest widgets to my phone, so that each season I can change the board and constantly see new pretty pics on my phone daily.
Thank you for making this! It makes me happy to see others romanticizing their life! I was around a lot of people who looked down on how I thought of life and this just made me feel less alone in these thoughts
It's crazy how I (but I think I can speak for a lot of people out there) have been used and lured to think that what you show here is "doing nothing useful". I've wasted soooo many years concentrating my energies on doing stuff that I am forced to do for necessity leaving everything else behind. And I had to finish studying and get the damn degree to actually start learning that i didn't have to feel guilty for those few times that I did any of the things you showed here... So, this video is a gem. Thank you
This is easily my favorite romanticization video I've seen! It really is realistic and achievable and helpful plus the cinematography was all so beautiful and inspiring! 🥰
Thank you for this beautiful video... spark my boring life. Love the season vision board and anothers few ideas to put on practice asap to keep me motivated. A 62 years old (maybe HDAD never diagnosed ). Its never too late to romanticize your life. Thanks again.❤
This is the first time I saw you on TH-cam and I love how you emphasize the mundane things we often ignore could actually help us appreciate our lives better in a very meaningful way. Glad that I've come across your video!
This has actually changed my view on life, I'm gonna put this forward and turn my life around for the better as soon as I wake up tomorrow morning, a new day and a fresh start!!!! Thank you for this awakening and I love your videos so muchhhh ❤
you know there is a whole era that actually coined the term romanticizing and they were cherished for that and still are to this day. Nothing cringe about it. As Novalis said: The world must be romanticized! This video was very nice, I felt very connected to the way you view things and I'm glad someone out there tries to see this often harsh world in a way that makes one grateful for being able to smell the roses, not dismiss beauty because of some sort of "adult mentality" that makes you abandon all joy cause it feels "childish". Good to see people actually search for this content. There's still hope. You have captured the intentions of the romantic era perfectly in this video!
Yes! I have really encouraged myself to enjoy each season too and it’s helped loads! It’s so important to be present and get what you can out of each phase of the year. The world is so gorgeous and there’s so much to offer if we’ll only look ❤️ thank you for the video, super lovely and helpful! x
1. I definitely needed this video. I've been holding back most of my life now, until recently I've realised that I'm a teenager. I'm meant to have fun and explore myself. So why don't I have that black parade winter, own that productive coquette summer, spend autumn going to local gigs. I don't have to be one thing all of the time. 2. The compliments thing is so real. At my first 2 concerts ever, I was complimented on 2 different things and both times they made my night. 3. As a neurodivergent person, I need routine but struggle with keeping up. Knowing these things a year ago would have drastically changed my life for the better. Thanks for making this videoo
Watched this to learn but found I already do pretty much everything here! Even the seasonal playlists. Made me appreciate them a bit more today, thank you.
Some recommendations from a girl trying to romatisize her life too❤ 1)Crocheting (there are millions of videos on youtube, and you can crochet SO many things!) 2)Origami❤ 3)Watching a series,movie,anime, etc. *Extra tip* Watch it on a tablet, pc, or laptop. It really makes a difference! If you need any recommendations (especially for anime), as a professional lay-in-bed-and-do-nothing i am happy to help!❤❤❤
only alarm that works for me is a part of the song not yet/love run (reprise). the part near the beginning that has the line "sing me awake" which. its so nice to wake up to beautiful warm music and a comfy bed. and the comedy of choosing that part is nice, yknow? a little silly, a lot comfy and peaceful
this video is really inspiring. starting to romanticize life here in the Philippines, as a public school student (it's kinda hard to do some of the things in your video simply because the environment here is so different from yours) but I'm trying my best hihi, thanks for making videos like this! 💗✨
Romanticizing my life is at the core of my fitness/wellness journey🌌 One of my favorite things is using a projector with galaxy/universe discs early in the morning for my meditation, journaling or yoga 🧘🏻♀️ It makes me feel like my life is magical ✨
I also have adhd and I really struggle with school and getting things done and I also find this really helpful, I am glad I found you I just love the vibes of your videos and it just motivates me❤
this video is absolutely amazing! i cant wait to start romanticizing my life and this video helped me realize that it doesn't have to look like other peoples, but just whatever i like. I would love to see u make day in the life videos or more like these!!! (I'm so glad I found your channel!) xx
I generally watch this genre of content and find myself taking nothing away, having wasted x-amount of time; however you somehow took my brain, gave her a nice hug, and sent her back into my skull with a “have a good day at work darling”. And I appreciate that
i didn't even get to the main content of the video, but your intentions already brightened my day a little, touched me and made me put a like under your video for such good vibes, even if your tips will not be useful to me, this video is really inspiring and mindful
First of all , being grateful is the most imp step . So before you do anything take a minuit and think about all the things you were given even the "basic" stuff because there are many people who dont even have thaose basics [bed , food , functioning body , family or friends , a roof to protect u from rain ...etc ] ❤❤❤❤ Second of all I will give u some tips to try incase you r bored or feeling like u have an empty life 🪻1] use the phone less Boredom leads to creativity so when you are bored do smth else paint , go for a walk , bake , watch a movie ,call your family / friends .... 🪻2] dont spend your day in one place If you spend the whole day in bed / at your desk / on a sofa you will feel like you had done nothing that day (its ok sometimes ofc) but if you take your morning drink in your balcony / garden , your lunch in the kitchen and your evening tea in whatever (just examples)you wont feel like you have done onlyone thing all day [ofc ik some people live in small apartments so i would advise them to leave the house for a walk or so if possible and if not then add more sitting places to ur house: diffrent chairs ,benches ... ] 🪻 3 ] decorate your space When you make your space personal and comfortable for your eyes it will give you so much peace and make your space feel more inviting and unique to u 🪻4] socalise I hate this one too but I need to be honest that when I have talked to someone that day I diff feel like i did more than other days that i just didnt socalise in 🪻 5] play games / buy toys Why did we ever stop after childhood . Go get a pretty kids toy and play with it or play board games /learn magic tricks/ tressure hunt .. get creative 🪻 6] study Learn something new ,anything [types of trees , names of flowers , langauge .... ] makes you feel a tad bit more productive and good for ur brain . 🪻 7] nature A tree , a park ,grass ,the sky ... we need to commect more with nature and this will help you alot just like it did to me ( it doesnt have to be complicated or grand like visiting a forest . For example I have a fav tree that i check on every morning from my patio Finally I think this vid has alot of great advice and my fav is doing smth creative and fun . Gl for u all and remember that the ordinary is a blessing 🪷❤.
As a writer, I write down memories that just changed my life and I make it feel like a movie or something you’d see in a novel without changing anything, just going more in depth
This reminds me of Rajiv Surendra's video on using precious things every day. If you love to use actual real silver silverware, do it! If you want to wear an outfit that's "wildly impractical," who cares, as long as you can live your life in it and love it!
Ahhh I’m so happy you posted this video I loved it! I also have ADHD and have had it my whole life so I can relate to a lot of things you said 💕 I also love the idea of complimenting at least one stranger a week I’m gonna do that now also I would die to live where you live! I live in a city with practically no nature and my long term goal is to live in a small town with nature everywhere 🥹
Such a great video and reminder that we each have the choice of how to go about our days, and whether we make something we enjoy out of it or not. It's accessible and achievable!
The first word that comes to mind while watching this video is ✨hope☀️ Your videos are always a way for me to recalibrate and this one is hitting especially :) Lots of love!
Some loooong prices of mesh or chiffon in that soft pink you like would look nice wrapped around your curtain rods & draped down the sides. Framing the white curtains in the pink would give the room more depth & definition. Just a random thought from someone who likes pretty aesthetic things ❤✌️
just did my makeup for the day to this video and finished right when you were done the video as well! just wanted to say i loved your ideas and it was not cringy at all babes you slayed🩷🩷
I can't believe you thought this video was cringy! Girl, you literally made my week with this! It is so inspiring and motivating to watch someone enjoying the simple things in life. Thank you
So I just had one of the biggest health scares in my life recently (like yesterday) and this channel popped into my feed. From another human, genuinely, thank you. This feels like a sign
Thank you for this video, it was truly inspiring. I have been struggling with finding my true self and I believe that the examples that you gave could really be useful in the path of discovering myself.🌸🥰
I needed this! My sister doesn't like it to talk and I don't know why. She's always "unavailable" when i just want to tell her something and I'm kind of bored and i hate it 😭😭
Thank you so much, this is really helpful! I lately started watching more videos about romanticizing life. But this video was so good! Love all the ideas and inspo 💗 thank you!!
the best and most honest video I have seen in a long time loved it ... and it is absolutely not cringe please don't ever be afraid to post next time love you ....!!!
There is a good thing to do. If you stay home and you don’t need to go out, you can still dress nicely or do your makeup or just put highlighter and do your hair. Start with a cup of water, do some sport exercises and you will feel really good! Just try it and comment down below 💗 Good luck girls! You all are beautiful
An inspiration for taking photos: Me and my friends bought some disposable cameras. We fill them with beautiful pictures and in afew month we will put together all pictures.
That alarm you played near the beginning of the video is my exact ringtone for my iPhone, and I do it precisely because it is so harsh I *cannot* sleep through it at high volume. But uggggh, what a terrible sound it is! ❤
recently i complimented someone and then minutes later i got two compliments from different people. the world def rewarded me. then i complimented my boyfriend and someone complimented my outfit. love it
I stumbled upon this and loved it! I’m also a few lol BTVer so it was neat to see sprinkles of my own stomping grounds here too (love The Body Lab ahhh).
I love all of your videos so much! I love how it’s not toxic positivity too like so many of these types of videos are. Also random question but where are those pointelle pajamas from they’re so cute 💞
The complimenting one made me recoil back into my body. Not because it’s cringey but because for the past 6 months ish I’ve been having that mindset and being like “if I think someone’s outfit is cute why don’t you tell them?” So I started doing that and complimenting their outfits or hair or whatever it is and then them not hearing me and then just staring at me almost like they’re annoyed that I tried stopping them or even just repeating myself and them not hearing me or noticing that I’m trying to say something to them after so many times it ends up leaving me feeling like caca
your voice reminds me of emma watson’s, it’s so beautiful 💗 this was a super helpful video and connected me back to a vision of presence and hope for my life :) thank you!!

I used to rely on other items to make me happy and it just spiraled, but now I'm going to be more intentional! While you get more items that you implement in being intentional, I am cleaning items I don't use anymore to be intentional! Thank you for bringing this to light!!
This one of my favorite video genres! I’ve been wanting to get back into more creative hobbies and it’s nice to hear encouragement from others.

"we often feel pressure to act cool and feel that it's cringey to be excited about little things!" I know I'm quoting you wrong but this is golden wisdom! Amazing that you're young adult with this wisdom already! I hope you go places (:
I do the same thing with seasonal pinterest boards! It helps me enjoy and look forward to the seasons changing instead of dreading the change. It also helps me "choose" an aesthetic for the season, make cute outfits, decorate, and so much more.
my god! some of the things u mentioned in this video are literally what i have been trynna do in my life from past some weeks, but ur video made me feel i was doing it right and its more important to romanticize life...
This has helped me so much, thank you! While summer makes so many people happy, I find it a hard time with insecurity and loneliness due to distance from friends. With your suggestions I hope I can make each day a little happier 💗💗
@@sarahmcdonnell1755 I have totally been there. I hope these tips help! I’m sending u sm love!!!
Feeling cringe or people making you feel cringe for loving life is such a wild thing. Why are we all trying to pretend to be cool and bored when we have one life?! Love this vid
I really like that you said that at the end romanticizing doesn't mean I do the things mentioned here or that are popular on the internet but that it means to make my life a bit more mine
Do what feels go for me
What genuinely feels good and not what everybody says should feel good.
I feel like I still can't name an activity like that even though I have many interests like making music, playing the guitar, sports.
I think I always put pressure on myself to be really good at everything I pick up. So it's fun at the beginning but eventually becomes torture.
I like to make music but I haven't been able to finish a song. I tell myself it's just for me and nobody else, I'll not share with anybody but still I cringe at the lines that I write😂 and that's how I never finish it.
Maybe I should find something else? Maybe I should keep giving this another tries? I don't know.
The most important thing is enjoying myself. That's what hobbies are there for! Why can't I remember this every single day😂
I've started crocheting. After learning this I feel like at least I can do something. I've made some clothing pieces. And I wear them outside. I just feel so happy about it. Now I think I really should try sewing.
You’re never too old to learn something new🙌🏻
this video was absolutely lovely
Not cringy at all! So lucky to be in your orbit. You’ve always been exceptional at enjoying the little things and finding humor in the corners. LOVE this one so much 🎉❤🎉
@@jeanettemalone8987 I love this!!! Love you!!! Thank you🥹💖
Hey Gigi! I feel like I’m currently sliding right into a quarter-life-crisis and navigating life through that has been rough. Your video helped me so much to get my sparkle back and seeing the positive side of this challenging time: It’s up to me to create a beautiful life for myself. I loved your tips and I feel especially inspired to take more photos and organize my pinterest boards to stay inspired. Thank you so much for sharing this video. Sending you lot’s of love! xx
Have been feeling lost recently but this video has really grounded me and made me look to the smaller things in life as a source of joy. You make so much sense, and your narration seems totally effortless. You are an incredible communicator - Its hard to get people to listen to you and actually understand you at the same time, but you have it down to a fine art. It seems like you really understand yourself which I think is a massive strength. Thank you for sharing something from your little corner of the world, it seems beautiful there.
The seasonal themed Pinterest boards helped me with seasonal depression too! I added Pinterest widgets to my phone, so that each season I can change the board and constantly see new pretty pics on my phone daily.
i love how inclusive and easy this is ! it can all really be wrapped up with "enjoy the little things"
i've been struggling to be present, but romanticizing my life has been helping a lot! Ur video gave me more ideas Gigi
having a cup of my favourite tea while watching this video was literally so therapeutic
Thank you for making this! It makes me happy to see others romanticizing their life! I was around a lot of people who looked down on how I thought of life and this just made me feel less alone in these thoughts
It's crazy how I (but I think I can speak for a lot of people out there) have been used and lured to think that what you show here is "doing nothing useful". I've wasted soooo many years concentrating my energies on doing stuff that I am forced to do for necessity leaving everything else behind. And I had to finish studying and get the damn degree to actually start learning that i didn't have to feel guilty for those few times that I did any of the things you showed here...
So, this video is a gem. Thank you
please never delete this it went straight to my saveddd 😩
This is easily my favorite romanticization video I've seen! It really is realistic and achievable and helpful plus the cinematography was all so beautiful and inspiring! 🥰
This is exactly what I needed right now!
I’m so glad🥹😚
Thank you for this beautiful video... spark my boring life. Love the season vision board and anothers few ideas to put on practice asap to keep me motivated.
A 62 years old (maybe HDAD never diagnosed ). Its never too late to romanticize your life. Thanks again.❤
This is the first time I saw you on TH-cam and I love how you emphasize the mundane things we often ignore could actually help us appreciate our lives better in a very meaningful way. Glad that I've come across your video!
This has actually changed my view on life, I'm gonna put this forward and turn my life around for the better as soon as I wake up tomorrow morning, a new day and a fresh start!!!! Thank you for this awakening and I love your videos so muchhhh ❤
@@aml14rblx omg🥹tysm this means so much!!! You got this. Sending you lots of love!!!!!
you know there is a whole era that actually coined the term romanticizing and they were cherished for that and still are to this day. Nothing cringe about it. As Novalis said: The world must be romanticized! This video was very nice, I felt very connected to the way you view things and I'm glad someone out there tries to see this often harsh world in a way that makes one grateful for being able to smell the roses, not dismiss beauty because of some sort of "adult mentality" that makes you abandon all joy cause it feels "childish". Good to see people actually search for this content. There's still hope. You have captured the intentions of the romantic era perfectly in this video!
Yes! I have really encouraged myself to enjoy each season too and it’s helped loads! It’s so important to be present and get what you can out of each phase of the year. The world is so gorgeous and there’s so much to offer if we’ll only look ❤️ thank you for the video, super lovely and helpful! x
1. I definitely needed this video. I've been holding back most of my life now, until recently I've realised that I'm a teenager. I'm meant to have fun and explore myself. So why don't I have that black parade winter, own that productive coquette summer, spend autumn going to local gigs. I don't have to be one thing all of the time.
2. The compliments thing is so real. At my first 2 concerts ever, I was complimented on 2 different things and both times they made my night.
3. As a neurodivergent person, I need routine but struggle with keeping up. Knowing these things a year ago would have drastically changed my life for the better. Thanks for making this videoo
Watched this to learn but found I already do pretty much everything here! Even the seasonal playlists. Made me appreciate them a bit more today, thank you.
That's the most realistic "romanticize ur life" video! Thank you ❤
Some recommendations from a girl trying to romatisize her life too❤
1)Crocheting (there are millions of videos on youtube, and you can crochet SO many things!)
2)Origami❤
3)Watching a series,movie,anime, etc.
*Extra tip* Watch it on a tablet, pc, or laptop. It really makes a difference!
If you need any recommendations (especially for anime), as a professional lay-in-bed-and-do-nothing i am happy to help!❤❤❤
only alarm that works for me is a part of the song not yet/love run (reprise). the part near the beginning that has the line "sing me awake" which. its so nice to wake up to beautiful warm music and a comfy bed. and the comedy of choosing that part is nice, yknow? a little silly, a lot comfy and peaceful
Thank you for making this video even if you thought it could be cringy. I love it
this video is really inspiring. starting to romanticize life here in the Philippines, as a public school student (it's kinda hard to do some of the things in your video simply because the environment here is so different from yours) but I'm trying my best hihi, thanks for making videos like this! 💗✨
Romanticizing my life is at the core of my fitness/wellness journey🌌
One of my favorite things is using a projector with galaxy/universe discs early in the morning for my meditation, journaling or yoga 🧘🏻♀️
It makes me feel like my life is magical ✨
I also have adhd and I really struggle with school and getting things done and I also find this really helpful, I am glad I found you I just love the vibes of your videos and it just motivates me❤
this video is absolutely amazing! i cant wait to start romanticizing my life and this video helped me realize that it doesn't have to look like other peoples, but just whatever i like. I would love to see u make day in the life videos or more like these!!! (I'm so glad I found your channel!) xx
I generally watch this genre of content and find myself taking nothing away, having wasted x-amount of time; however you somehow took my brain, gave her a nice hug, and sent her back into my skull with a “have a good day at work darling”. And I appreciate that
i didn't even get to the main content of the video, but your intentions already brightened my day a little, touched me and made me put a like under your video for such good vibes, even if your tips will not be useful to me, this video is really inspiring and mindful
First of all , being grateful is the most imp step . So before you do anything take a minuit and think about all the things you were given even the "basic" stuff because there are many people who dont even have thaose basics [bed , food , functioning body , family or friends , a roof to protect u from rain ...etc ]
❤❤❤❤
Second of all I will give u some tips to try incase you r bored or feeling like u have an empty life
🪻1] use the phone less
Boredom leads to creativity so when you are bored do smth else paint , go for a walk , bake , watch a movie ,call your family / friends ....
🪻2] dont spend your day in one place
If you spend the whole day in bed / at your desk / on a sofa you will feel like you had done nothing that day (its ok sometimes ofc) but if you take your morning drink in your balcony / garden , your lunch in the kitchen and your evening tea in whatever (just examples)you wont feel like you have done onlyone thing all day [ofc ik some people live in small apartments so i would advise them to leave the house for a walk or so if possible and if not then add more sitting places to ur house: diffrent chairs ,benches ... ]
🪻 3 ] decorate your space
When you make your space personal and comfortable for your eyes it will give you so much peace and make your space feel more inviting and unique to u
🪻4] socalise
I hate this one too but I need to be honest that when I have talked to someone that day I diff feel like i did more than other days that i just didnt socalise in
🪻 5] play games / buy toys
Why did we ever stop after childhood . Go get a pretty kids toy and play with it or play board games /learn magic tricks/ tressure hunt .. get creative
🪻 6] study
Learn something new ,anything [types of trees , names of flowers , langauge .... ] makes you feel a tad bit more productive and good for ur brain .
🪻 7] nature
A tree , a park ,grass ,the sky ... we need to commect more with nature and this will help you alot just like it did to me ( it doesnt have to be complicated or grand like visiting a forest . For example I have a fav tree that i check on every morning from my patio
Finally I think this vid has alot of great advice and my fav is doing smth creative and fun . Gl for u all and remember that the ordinary is a blessing 🪷❤.
Please add links to all your things like sewing patterns, camera purses etc. I love how you personalize your outfits so beautiful!!!
As a writer, I write down memories that just changed my life and I make it feel like a movie or something you’d see in a novel without changing anything, just going more in depth
This reminds me of Rajiv Surendra's video on using precious things every day. If you love to use actual real silver silverware, do it! If you want to wear an outfit that's "wildly impractical," who cares, as long as you can live your life in it and love it!
the pinterest board is such a good idea
Ahhh I’m so happy you posted this video I loved it! I also have ADHD and have had it my whole life so I can relate to a lot of things you said 💕 I also love the idea of complimenting at least one stranger a week I’m gonna do that now also I would die to live where you live! I live in a city with practically no nature and my long term goal is to live in a small town with nature everywhere 🥹
Such a great video and reminder that we each have the choice of how to go about our days, and whether we make something we enjoy out of it or not. It's accessible and achievable!
The first word that comes to mind while watching this video is ✨hope☀️
Your videos are always a way for me to recalibrate and this one is hitting especially :) Lots of love!
@@ahm3501 omg🥹tysm!!! Sending love!!
Some loooong prices of mesh or chiffon in that soft pink you like would look nice wrapped around your curtain rods & draped down the sides. Framing the white curtains in the pink would give the room more depth & definition. Just a random thought from someone who likes pretty aesthetic things ❤✌️
i am so glad that i found your channel! this video gave me such a nice vibes! i really love your aesthetic and your perspective on things…thank you ❤️
the cat one was my favorite (: also your little "letter to santa" -style list for what clothes you wanted to thrift! so cool!
just did my makeup for the day to this video and finished right when you were done the video as well! just wanted to say i loved your ideas and it was not cringy at all babes you slayed🩷🩷
I can't believe you thought this video was cringy! Girl, you literally made my week with this! It is so inspiring and motivating to watch someone enjoying the simple things in life. Thank you
So I just had one of the biggest health scares in my life recently (like yesterday) and this channel popped into my feed. From another human, genuinely, thank you. This feels like a sign
@@Eren-ch1fo I’m so glad it could be any sort of comfort. I’m sending you lots of love, healing, and all my best wishes❤️🩹you are amazing
Thank you for this video, it was truly inspiring. I have been struggling with finding my true self and I believe that the examples that you gave could really be useful in the path of discovering myself.🌸🥰
Love her videos! ❤ It’s very informative and not self-centered 🥺
Hi!
I just want to say that, this was the best video I've ever seen in my entire life. Thank you so much💖
I needed this!
My sister doesn't like it to talk and I don't know why. She's always "unavailable" when i just want to tell her something and I'm kind of bored and i hate it 😭😭
Love the idea to make a Pinterest board for winter! I have the same problem and this is such a good idea.
That video made me get off bed and clean my room! I needed it thanks!❤️
This is probably the best, most-useful-irl video about romanticizing my life. Thank you for creating and posting!
Thank you so much, this is really helpful! I lately started watching more videos about romanticizing life. But this video was so good! Love all the ideas and inspo 💗 thank you!!
the best and most honest video I have seen in a long time loved it ... and it is absolutely not cringe please don't ever be afraid to post next time love you ....!!!
This has motivated me to finally do everything I've been trying to do, thank you❤
There is a good thing to do. If you stay home and you don’t need to go out, you can still dress nicely or do your makeup or just put highlighter and do your hair. Start with a cup of water, do some sport exercises and you will feel really good! Just try it and comment down below 💗
Good luck girls! You all are beautiful
An inspiration for taking photos: Me and my friends bought some disposable cameras. We fill them with beautiful pictures and in afew month we will put together all pictures.
@@Freundinnen100 love this!!!
I want to scream , this video just make my inner aura awake 🌷💖✨
this was sweet. thanks girl. i've been recently documenting my life and even sharing on here!
Wow I would discribe that video in many other words but definitely not cringy it was beautiful and reminded me that my life is beautiful to!!!
This wasn’t cringy at all! I find your videos so inspiring and inspirational. Hope you keep these types of videos coming!!🩰🎀⭐️
That alarm you played near the beginning of the video is my exact ringtone for my iPhone, and I do it precisely because it is so harsh I *cannot* sleep through it at high volume. But uggggh, what a terrible sound it is! ❤
You are wise beyond your years. Such a great video thank you
recently i complimented someone and then minutes later i got two compliments from different people. the world def rewarded me. then i complimented my boyfriend and someone complimented my outfit. love it
As an a fellow ADHD lady, I found this super motivating! Such a great video! ❤🌷
I stumbled upon this and loved it! I’m also a few lol BTVer so it was neat to see sprinkles of my own stomping grounds here too (love The Body Lab ahhh).
this video was like a warm hug and i love it so much!
you definetly explained it so nicely!
I'm inspired now! Thank you so much for showing me a bright side in living simple 🙂🙂🙂
Amazing video! The atmosphere and the amount of love in this video🩷🩷🩷
I love all of your videos so much! I love how it’s not toxic positivity too like so many of these types of videos are. Also random question but where are those pointelle pajamas from they’re so cute 💞
The dresses she makes are sooooo cute!!
The complimenting one made me recoil back into my body. Not because it’s cringey but because for the past 6 months ish I’ve been having that mindset and being like “if I think someone’s outfit is cute why don’t you tell them?” So I started doing that and complimenting their outfits or hair or whatever it is and then them not hearing me and then just staring at me almost like they’re annoyed that I tried stopping them or even just repeating myself and them not hearing me or noticing that I’m trying to say something to them after so many times it ends up leaving me feeling like caca
your voice reminds me of emma watson’s, it’s so beautiful 💗 this was a super helpful video and connected me back to a vision of presence and hope for my life :) thank you!!
