Don't call yourself lazy, Alyssa! That's not good biofeedback for your psyche. It'd be better to refer to your love of simplicity as being "unfussy", "uncomplicated", "straightforward", "efficient" even. Great video! Living well, having compassion for others, looking good, feeling happy...none of these things are possible if we neglect ourselves.
That is such an amazing thing to say, I loved reading your comment!! It's amazing how much language influences the way we feel. I trained as a mindful parenting practitioner and it's one of the first things I learned :)
Having a good self care set of tools is so important, I do many of the same as you listed , but another really important one for me is dancing to music in my kitchen in the mornings while my tea is steeping…
I drink sleepy time tea about an hour before bedtime but just a tiny bit. I boil about a quarter cup of water and let it steep for a while. That way I get the benefits and the experience without having to wake up and go to the bathroom as often as when I drank a full cup
I was amused with your statement about getting older. You are so young. You know you're older, when that cup of chamomile puts you nicely to sleep, and then wakes you up 3 hours latter for a trip to the bathroom.
Definitely simple routines and simple approaches. I am much older and have seen the long term effects of the 'girls that do, and the girls that don't ' so what matters is sleep, nutrition, exercise, good simple skincare and sunscreen. Lovely advice - and really important to not over think or think you need to spend alot on skincare.
Sleep is the foundation of good health. I also need my 8 hours of sleep. I usually turn off all screens (I do not have TV at all) an hour before sleep and meditate for an hour or so. Balance is a key factor in my life. Take care, Alyssa ❤️
You have a really healthy, balanced attitude to eating and exercise! I hope your knee is recovering. I'm completely with you on naps and camomile tea. I hate loud alarms and have used a light clock to wake up naturally for about the last 20yrs, especially helpful on dark winter mornings. I am also sensitive to caffeine and have 1 or 2 cups maximum, before lunch. I think wanting effective, simple skincare is not lazy, just sensible.
Hi!! Again….I’m going to say it but watching your videos is the best part of my Sunday! I’m a teacher and Sunday’s can make me feel anxious but I always calm down and listen to what you have to say! This was great I do all of these things….no fanfare just simple things to reward and take care of myself. Thank you again for your wonderfulness!
So shocked lazy with body care! I never would have guessed since your skin looks so gorgeous and cared for!!! I love lotions that smell like vanilla almond! I liked this video because it is a little different from fashion! Someday I would love to go to Portugal! Looks so beautiful!
Accessories like a sleep mask, ear plugs, white noise machine, or fan are super beneficial as cues for relaxation. These are lifesavers if you sleep amid distractions such as night shift, on-call, or busy neighborhood. I personally wake up super early which means trying to fall asleep while the lights are on in my house and neighbors make lots of noise.
These tips are very much in line with my lifestyle, Alyssa! As I get older, I take time for myself in many ways that I didn't when I was younger - eating whole foods, yoga, and especially starting the mornings in a quiet, slow way. Keep up the great work! I always look forward to your videos. :)
Love having a littlest glimpse into your daily habits. I'm huge on journaling. I must have been journaling for the last 20 years. When in doubt, I journal.. When something bothers me, if I'm anxious, feeling lost, overwhelmed, I journal. Conversations with myself bring me a lot of inner peace 💕
So funny, cause I hate journaling. Writing down my thoughts is actually boring to me. I already know my thoughts, no need to write them down. Lol! So many people really benefit from it but it’s def not for me!🤓
I've had the same experience. I find that if I do not set an alarm and I sleep in until I'm rested, I have a much better day, more energy, better health, fewer colds. Of course some days I don't have a choice, but I limit those as much as I can. For some reason setting an alarm makes my sleep a little more Restless and the sound of it wakes me suddenly and harshly.
Alyssa I am grateful for you, I experience all the overwhelm and nervous energy you describe. I too have adopted a morning routine focused on self care and have always prioritized having enough sleep= thank you for justifying a midday nap, which is helpful for immune and hormone support too -often it’s a meditation for me, but mostly grounding and a reset. Be well, ciao❣️
This video is great. It's also a wonderful reminder to all of us who are parents. Adults require so many sleep associations to sleep well, of course our babies and young children do. A well timed reminder for this mama who has been struggling with how much my 2 year old still needs me at night!
I really enjoyed this video! Sleep is one of my biggest priorities. One of my sons was up every few hours from birth to 11 years old. I think I’m scarred for life by it 😂 I cherish my sleep now because of that period of deprivation. Journaling is another one of my big ones. It’s where I end up with most of my book content. Lovely to see you enjoying your travels and everyday pleasures combined. 😘
I love your channel... I have changed my entire fashion world because of your questions that you ask yourself about your life...shopping out of my closet has helped me in so many other ways...thank you for that...
Wish I could say I've been using sleep masks as long as you have. But thank goodness I discovered them a couple months ago. Now, like you, I'm now a sleep mask advocate.
What a lovely and important message! Thank you for your kindness and generosity in sharing your wisdom. It's so helpful when we support each other and when we're gentle and kind to ourselves. Happy and safe travels.
It's about balance right? Nothing complicated. Love just listen to your body. Be mindful. Moderate. It's all good. I'm ashamed to say I'm 51... I still don't have a specific skin care product I use. I always wash and moisturize my skin of course but have never followed any specific product routine. Probably partially lack of funds.. everything is really expensive... And dare I say unnecessary?... I'm all about simplicity and budget friendly products. If I'm extra flush ... I will indulge in a body massage or facial but honestly those are far and few for me. Loved this video. Be well. ❤️
Beautiful video as usual, and very thoughtful. I especially appreciated the mention of gratitude journaling and mindfulness as a slow living well-being habit. After a bout of severe anxiety about 5 years ago I started doing a practice called Inner Engineering that has helped me greatly. Looking forward to more rich content, Alyssa!
Great tips, Alyssa. By the way, I love your pajamas! You have inspired me to start journaling, as I am now retired, so I need to come to grips on how this is making me feel and what my next chapter will be. Exercise and eating healthy has been a part of my life for over 20 years. I think those of us in the U.S. need to take some advice on slowing down like those in Europe. It would be great if we had the downtime during the day! Thanks for your inspiration.
Really great ideas and suggestions! I like them all, but the gratitude and journaling is the stand out out one for me. I was lucky to have a parents who taught me to be grateful, and my dad especially, coached me to think positively. He really emphasized being careful to not be negative. Now, I see other people struggle with negativity and a lack of appreciation for what they do have, and I think how lucky I was to have people show me how to avoid that. I also think your other ideas of listening to your body and taking good care of yourself, inside and out, in a deliberate yet relaxed way, is a huge part positivity. Once again, Alyssa, good work!
OMG, Alyssa. I've been watching your videos for quite a while now, thanks to you I've developed more of a personal style again (after just throwing on whatever was practical for work for a few years, because I simply didn't have the time or energy to do anything else) and I feel that by now slow fashion is really working for me. And of course I knew that you run, but I never realised how much it means to you. I started running about two and half years ago, have done a couple of marathons and shorter ultra marathons so far and I love it so much, I won't ever give it up again. And well, I do stress a lot, I need enough sleep to function, I'm always the one leaving a party early because I want to run in the morning ... So now I want you to be my life coach! 😁 I feel you have a couple of things figured out that I still haven't. Will definitely try the sleeping mask and camomile tea in the evenings. Probably should start journaling, but to this day I couldn't bring myself to do it regularly and maintaining healthy eating habits with work and running five times a week and maintaining a clean home is something I still haven't managed to succeed at. Thank you for inspiring me to try and tackle other areas of my life with slow living principles.
Alyssa, thank you for sharing how you cope. So important to take care of our mind and our body : ) I look forward to your fashion videos. Your philosophy is what others are now just getting into. The using what you have approach. You started it years ago and now its a thing! Thanks again.
Thank you for this video. It gives us a little more of a view into the balance of your life, with tips that are universal no matter our geography, age, or family setting. Although I love your slow fashion examples, I’d love to see more of your life balance too! Thank you again for the great reminders.
Alyssa I would like to congratulate for the issues and the edition of your “videos in Europe”. You look fantastic, the environment is really beauiful and cool, and the vídeos have been very usefull for me. Thank you very much. xxoo
Thank you for this video. I am focusing on areas of my life that don't include shopping, so I am appreciative of topics that relate to other areas of my life that I can focus on that improve the quality of my life. Have a great day and enjoy your travels!
It always happens to me that when I start writing daily the things I am grateful for, I end up abandoning that routine. I don't find it varied because it happens that every day the only thing I am most grateful for is having my beloved mother and father alive and well, my brother alive and well with his family and my husband alive and well with me. In my life is absolutely nothing more important than them. So it seems superficial to me to be grateful that one day it's sunny or that what I program for that day or any other turns out or that I manage to solve a problem because in the end what matters most to me is that they are well. I don't know if anyone else has the same thing.
Hi Alyssa, thank you for taking the time to share this video about yourself. I really appreciate your raw simplicity and honesty. You inspire me. Remain blessed xxx
It's been a while and the subject matter I really love. I like how you simplify your routine be it your skin, your food intake and mind enrichment. The exercise routine really tops everything though it really takes care of everything else (if that makes sense). Thank you for coming back and feeding my mind and psyche, lots of helpful information. Please come back soon.
I loved this video, though all of your videos are great! I was feeling kind of anxious but when I see your videos your voice gives me peace. It's like listening to a close friend. Thank you !!
this was a very lovely video. It's so nice seeing the "real" side of someone who you watch often and wonder about them when they don't have an agenda. In the future, I would love to see more italain fashion videos, as you are very insightful. grazie mille
Thanks Alyssa. It shows that you take good care of yourself. You are in an amazing shape. . Do you mind sharing some exercises you use for you inner thighs. Inner thighs, for some of us, are most difficult area to tone and firm. Thanks.
My cat 🐈⬛ joins me in bed for a five minute cuddle as soon as I hit the sheets. She then retires to sleep at my feet 👣. The routine of it is very calming.
Great video!! Ive always had nervous energy too, i drink only decaf first thing in the am, or im wired, but espresso later in the day or evening is fine!!💜 i enjoy those journals that have questions and prompts tgen leave room to write, like Bella Grace Field Guide!!
While I love your style videos, you DID answer many questions I’ve been asking myself about you. Thanks for sharing. PS your Live session as amazing yesterday!
Thank you for sharing this, such great habits to implement! May i ask, do you have family or friends abroad, or just treaveling for a long period on your own etc? I only ask because this is something my husband and i talk about often, with his family in france and we live in ontatio... we are seeking remote jobs to be able to be more flexible with our location. :)
Gratutude and Journaling are easily done with a companion... years ago a friend gave me 'Simple Abundance: A Daybook of Comfort and Joy' by: Sarah Ban Breathnach. I cannot recommend it enough!!
You were typing on your computer when you were talking about journaling. Do you use a physical journal notebook or do you use an app on your computer for journaling. I’ve tried a couple of journaling apps, but have never kept up with them. Some of them let you include photos which I loved doing especially if I were on a trip. Which app might you be using?
I use the free app called “Notes” that comes in my ipad and iPhone. I then can include photos and videos if I want. Some journaling apps are here today and gone tomorrow. I’ve been burned several times, that I now just use the Notes app that comes with my ipad and iphone. Even have a folder with all my recipes in Notes within specific folders.
great video. when you say interval running, as in "the galloway method" of walk-run-walk etc? i find that best for my old fat body and am looking forward to doing that again as i fell off the wagon with it for various reasons one being horrible knee pain unrelated to running. (actually until i started taking fish oil, all my joints were screaming for no reason...hormones?) anyway, these are all great tips. ps what did you do with that yummy eggplant?
Love the Galloway method of interval running! Would have given up running years ago but this keep me going! Have done it in races & no real difference in finish times. Great for beginner runners or those whose joints..or lungs..need a little break!
Thanks, Alyssa for this great video, as usual. While i appreciate that the sponsoring company appears eco-conscious, it's unfortunate that they are not cruelty-free. There is no reason to test these products on animals (nor to sell them to countries that require animal testing by law).
Don't call yourself lazy, Alyssa! That's not good biofeedback for your psyche. It'd be better to refer to your love of simplicity as being "unfussy", "uncomplicated", "straightforward", "efficient" even.
Great video! Living well, having compassion for others, looking good, feeling happy...none of these things are possible if we neglect ourselves.
Ooh thank you Irai - what a wise comment, thank you for sharing! xx

Having a good self care set of tools is so important, I do many of the same as you listed , but another really important one for me is dancing to music in my kitchen in the mornings while my tea is steeping…
in theory i love the idea of drinking tea before bed but in reality it makes me wake up more than once to use the toilet! ☹🤷♀
Same! I have mine about 2-2.5 hours before bed and that seems to work a lot better and still help me sleep
I drink sleepy time tea about an hour before bedtime but just a tiny bit. I boil about a quarter cup of water and let it steep for a while. That way I get the benefits and the experience without having to wake up and go to the bathroom as often as when I drank a full cup
@@pajamamama5965 would you say you drink about 1/2 a cup of that kind of sleep tea?
😂
P
Everything shuts down between 13:30 and 17:30 🕠 is that because of the siesta? Wow 😮 sounds like a dream slow living situation
Great video Alyssa! I’m 60 and yet I find your videos inspirational ❤

Thanks so much for sharing your routine, Alyssa! I appreciate your willingness to share ups and downs and what helps you in your daily practices.
I absolutely love this video ! I am always thinking & looking of ways to make my life more peaceful and relaxing.

I don't like alarm clocks. I have my internal clock and I always wake when I need to.
Yes! I feel like my internal clock is pretty reliable so glad you enjoy this practice too!

Thank you , always so beautiful and informative 🙏🏽🇦🇺❤
Thanks Alyssa. It shows that you take good care of yourself. You are in an amazing shape.
. Do you mind sharing some exercises you use for you inner thighs. Inner thighs, for some of us, are most difficult area to tone and firm. Thanks.
Thanks for the suggestion and the kind words!
Loved this videos as all others. I must ask, though…what did you do with the raw eggplant? How did you prep and eat it?
Ahh; that day we did a vegetable saute with it and had it with eggs - so sauteed the eggplant with fresh tomatoes, onions, garlic, zucchini, herbs :)
Oh, thank you for this one
Question: Did you bring your kitty to Europe with you? Pets are a wonderful stress reliever ♥
I did!! He has been wonderful and yes, you are right - he is an anti-anxiety solution

How did you break your patella? Is there a video ?
You were typing on your computer when you were talking about journaling. Do you use a physical journal notebook or do you use an app on your computer for journaling. I’ve tried a couple of journaling apps, but have never kept up with them. Some of them let you include photos which I loved doing especially if I were on a trip. Which app might you be using?
I am very old school and use a word doc on my computer!
I use the free app called “Notes” that comes in my ipad and iPhone. I then can include photos and videos if I want. Some journaling apps are here today and gone tomorrow. I’ve been burned several times, that I now just use the Notes app that comes with my ipad and iphone. Even have a folder with all my recipes in Notes within specific folders.
great video. when you say interval running, as in "the galloway method" of walk-run-walk etc? i find that best for my old fat body and am looking forward to doing that again as i fell off the wagon with it for various reasons one being horrible knee pain unrelated to running. (actually until i started taking fish oil, all my joints were screaming for no reason...hormones?) anyway, these are all great tips. ps what did you do with that yummy eggplant?
Love the Galloway method of interval running! Would have given up running years ago but this keep me going! Have done it in races & no real difference in finish times. Great for beginner runners or those whose joints..or lungs..need a little break!
Quality fish oil fights inflammation, so perhaps your joints had slight inflammation?

Thanks, Alyssa for this great video, as usual. While i appreciate that the sponsoring company appears eco-conscious, it's unfortunate that they are not cruelty-free. There is no reason to test these products on animals (nor to sell them to countries that require animal testing by law).
I’m listening on 2x because I have 2 little kids and am working

Ratatouille??
Your style videos are missed. Probably not possible when living a nomadic lifestyle.
I think this is the first non-style video she’s done all summer. Check previous weeks. She’s got lots of style videos there

@@jenniferbene Yes, but I have enjoyed seeing much how you can do with a travel wardrobe
@@kathysteele3071 yeah but… she’s been on the road for over six months… which is really wonderful but it’s getting stale in the styling department
