I’m currently dealing with the LA fires and keeping an eye on whether I need to evacuate, so it’s really nice to take a break from the news and watch your vlog. I’m also working on maintaining a morning routine. The days I stick to it, I feel so much calmer and more productive, but on the days I don’t, I end up feeling stressed and rushed. It’s still a work in progress, but I’m tweaking it as I go. One habit I’m trying to change is having coffee before eating-though I can't seem to break it! I just need my morning coffee first and not a huge eater in the morning. If you have any tips on how to shift this habit, I’d love to hear them. I definitely need help, haha! Hope you have an amazing week!
Ah, Lusine, we were actually thinking about you today! The fires are absolutely devastating, and I hope you and your loved ones stay safe. Please take care of yourself and be ready if you need to evacuate-sending all the good vibes your way! ♥️ As for your morning routine, I completely relate to how calming and productive it feels when you stick to it! It’s always a work in progress-I’ve been working on mine for almost two years now, and I still have days where I’m running around like a headless chicken. 😅 Just keep trying and take each day as it comes without putting too much pressure on yourself. 🤗 About the coffee before eating-I totally get it; I’m a coffee-first person too! I specifically enjoy coffee before any food, so I’m not sure I’m the best person to ask. 😂 But if I wanted to eat something first, I’d go for something simple like a dry slice of bread, a banana, or a handful of walnuts-something bland might make the habit easier to shift. That said, I’ll always lean toward coffee first, so I might not be the most reliable source for advice. 🤗 Wishing you an amazing week ahead, and please stay safe! ♥️
Hi Poppy! Love your videos, they are so calming and soothing. May I ask, what iPad and program do you use to do your sketches and design work? I would like to start cartooning and doodling on an iPad this year for fun, but not sure which one to buy. Your recommendation is very much appreciated ❤
@@poppydgreen Thank you ❤ We're safe! Sadly, two of my friends have lost their homes, but I’m here to support them and help them rebuild their lives in every way I can.
@ I'm so relieved to hear you're safe, but I’m so sorry to hear about your friends’ losses. It’s heartbreaking, and I can only imagine how overwhelming this must be for them and for you too. Sending much love and strength your way as you help them rebuild ♥♥
Hi Poppy 👋 The video turned out to be cozy and chilled as always 🤗 I like watching your life, it looks slow, cozy and atmospheric in its own way ☺ In my city, everyone is always running and hurrying somewhere, and I am with them 🏃♀🤭 Since we are starting the year with new changes, I started keeping a new diary and while I am saving money for courses, I decided to start learning drawing on my own using RUclips and books. I really like it 🥰🥰 Have a great start to the next week ❤
Hi Veezy, thank you so much for your kind words as always! 🥰 That’s amazing that you’ve started a new diary and working on your drawings! RUclips and books are such great resources, and I’m sure you’ll create some beautiful work! 🥰 Enjoy the process-it’s such a relaxing and fulfilling hobby. Wishing you a wonderful start to your week as well! ♥️
I love watching your videos. It calms my autistic daughter down when it’s bed time. She loves to watch the slow paced routine I guess. About your coffee. I ended up buying a magnetic espresso dosing funnel to avoid spills when I would do the flip of the grounded beans to the Porta filter. It helped a lot with the mess!
Omg, thank you so much for sharing that-it truly warms my heart to hear my videos help calm your daughter. I can’t tell you how much that means to me! 🥹🥰♥️ And thank you for the coffee tip-the magnetic espresso dosing funnel sounds like such a game-changer! We’re planning to upgrade our espresso machine soon, so we’re holding off investing in Breville’s sizing for now, but once we get the new machine, I’ll definitely look into it. Anything to make the coffee process smoother and less messy is a win in my book! 🤗
Once you get the dosing funnel you won’t have any issues with that messy coffee ground when you flip it. Get the magnetic dosing funnel so it stays on your portafilter 🙂
Microgreens are good stuff. It is the way you use them makes them enjoyable. I use them in salads with other greens and weggies my hubby likes it so. And in sandwiches too.
Totally agree-microgreens are so good! Adding them to salads and sandwiches is absolutely delicious, and it’s great that your hubby enjoys them too. Mine is set on not liking them regardless, but that won’t stop me! 😂🥰
@@poppydgreen :) that is good, never give up trying. My hubby was not a salad person at all when I first made a proper salad for him with tuna and all the good stuff and vinengrette, he said it is rabbit food :D, but I told him to try it first and if he does not like it I'll accept. Well at the end, he did the rest is history.
Hi Poppy, love your videos they are so calming. May I ask which iPad and software you use to do your sketches and design work? I would like to start cartooning and doodling on an iPad this year for fun but not sure which iPad to purchase. Your recommendation is much appreciated ❤️
Hi, Violet! Thank you so much! 🥰♥️ I use the iPad Pro with the Apple Pencil, and I use Procreate. Honestly, any iPad compatible with the Apple Pencil will work great! 🤗 Doodling is such a creative and relaxing hobby-I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! 🥰
Omg, I hope everything goes smoothly with your ultrasound! Sending all the good vibes your way for everything to go well. ♥️ Fasting beforehand must be so tough-I’m so sorry! But once you’re done, it’s your time to shine-treat yourself to a nice cup of coffee and all the good things! 🤗
Eat healthy and work out; eventually, you will become fit. Also, let's not argue whether to put coffee first or water. Ultimately, we need to drink that fusion. 😅 So... BTW- what about the microgreens? I’ve actually never had them before!
You're so right-healthy habits and balance are key! 🤗 And you're absolutely right about the coffee-it doesn’t matter what goes in first; we just love enjoying the end result, right? 😂 As for microgreens, they’re amazing! They have a fresh, slightly peppery and earthy taste (kind of like arugula). If you’ve never tried them, I definitely recommend giving them a shot! 🥰
@@poppydgreen Absolutely! After wrapping up all our discussions, there's nothing quite like unwinding with a warm cup of coffee. I'm excited to give the Microgreen trend a shot-sounds like a fun experience!
@@san.d_ Exactly! 😍☕ I do hope you like microgreens-let’s see if you’ll be on my team or his team, lol! Let me know what you think when you give them a try! 🥰
Happy New Year! Sadly, I had to cancel my gym membership as the one close to me isn't the cleanest (zero ventilation and super hot - breeding ground for germs) and I was catching cold, after cold...have decided to work out at home so will definitely check out the links you provided! I also have a studio which has opened up close to where I work, which promises super results with just 20 mins weights session per week guided by a PT...so might check it out...they boost it's all backed by science, so we'll see.....always up for exploring ways to keep fit and keep my body healthy. Here's to a fab 2025! 🤗
Happy New Year, Rosalinda! ♥️ That gym situation sounds awful-so glad you got out of there! Working out at home is such a great option, and I hope you enjoy the channels-they’re my go-to for no-fuss, to-the-point workouts! That new studio near your work sounds amazing too-20-minute sessions with a PT? Yes, please! Let me know if you try it and love it. Keeping the body healthy is the ultimate goal, and I’m totally with you on that! Here’s to a beautiful year ahead 🤗

Oh, we have the magnetic dosing funnel on our list, and I can't wait to get the new espresso machine and finally end this suffering! 😩😂

I have an ultrasound scheduled this morning. Missing my water, greens and coffee, it is a struggle watching the beginning lol.
Omg, I hope everything goes smoothly with your ultrasound! Sending all the good vibes your way for everything to go well. ♥️ Fasting beforehand must be so tough-I’m so sorry! But once you’re done, it’s your time to shine-treat yourself to a nice cup of coffee and all the good things! 🤗

The old building is in such a juxtaposition to the newer ones around you, is it an old fire house ?
I’m not sure what the building is, as I haven’t lived here for long, but it does look so beautiful nestled between all the newer buildings!
