I dont know how you do it. When I saw that beautiful dress you had for 2 years, I just wouldn't have been able to give that one up. Maybe I can say and feel that way now because I'm 58. Old enough to have learned a few things. The most important is when you attain something you absolutely love, hold onto it. Keep it till you die. Ive let a couple family members convince that I shouldnt have or need a whole Pfaltzgraff set of dishes. I slowly collected it and got pieces from my loved ones as gifts. I finally had an outstanding beautiful collection. Then these 2 people convinced me I didnt need all of it. That I needed to downsize. That I should buy corelle dishes for its durabilty and that it didnt take up any space. So I gave my set to the landlords daughter and have regretted it every day since it's been gone. The dishes I have now bring me no joy..so Elise, it's ok tonhold onto something forever. I dont want you to have any regrets.
It’s ok to slow down. You’ve been doing the work of two or three people for quite some time now. No one can keep up with that indefinitely. You have to take care of yourself and not “beat yourself up” for slowing down some. You are human. An admirably driven young woman, but as you said, “just one person”. Hugs 🤗😊🤗
Love that green sweater you had on at the end of your video. Elise , please take care of yourself, you have a lot of friends out here and we want to see whatever you can manage.Don’t feel bad if you have to take a break, we will still be here. We love you.
Just a little idea from an Australian gardener. Pop all of the leave litter onto your garden beds as it is a natural compost, and cuts down on your “rubbish”. It is leaf gold for your garden xx
Oh Elise, as someone who has a tendency to overwork and under-sleep, I really feel for you. From your videos recently, you have what I call ‘too many tabs open’ (like when you open lots of documents and web links on a laptop and need to click a lot of exit Xs to shut down.) you have a lot of things going on: moving shop, skylight, other house jobs on top of your own deadlines for Bohemian Wonders. Who knows what else is running through your mind. Try to rest your head on the pillow and say ‘I’ve done what I can and earned this sleep.’ Also, take shutdown’ time. You might have more energy and work better with some balance. Take care of yourself. You produce great work. X
Elise you are an amazing woman. Please don't let yourself get burned out. As a single business owner myself I understand the need to push yourself. It really is important to take time for yourself. I love your website. You do a beautiful job with your photos. Your products are displayed beautifully. Take care. I always enjoy your videos. 💜
Elise I am from Sourh Africa..my second name is also Elise(German spelling) You are such a Blessing to me and you sow Positive seeds in our Lives! The Bible says:"What you sow is what you reap..." I pray Abundance for you.I am Afrikaans-speaking( it is a combination of German/Nederlands and a little Frensch...my Heritage is from the abovementioned Countries 400 years ago.I am proud to be who I am! You are a piece of Sunshine in this dark World!🌞🌟💐💝🦔🦁🌈🙏🛐🌟🙋🏼♀️
Im also from south africa ❤agree so much. Also been praying for her to be blessed with a man one day who sees her worth and loves her the way her heavenly creator does ❤
Love the comments. I am a fellow South African, watching from Cape Town❤🇿🇦. Your videos are therapeutic, inspiring, poetic. God bless your life, your channel and business🙏.
2 things for your citrus tree. 1) make sure its not near a heater and yes plenty of light. 2) Make sure you are not overwatering it. That will kill it. water once a week and not at the middle. If you can pick it up and check at the water hole at the bottom to see if its dry or wet. You need to get the water to the roots, but not too much.
I love the home you have now Elise. I love that big window you have in your sitting room, where you can snuggle up on the window sill, and look out at your garden that you love. It is going to be fab when you get your sky lights (windows in the roof) as it will flood that room with wonderful light. I enjoy seeing you working in your garden, and doing things in your lovely home, as you work so hard to make it your own. Blessings and hugs from Jilly & Madge the rescue greyhound, from West Devon, England. xxx
Don’t beat yourself up you are doing amazing where I live in Canada a young person of you age could not afford even a one bedroom condo, you have an adorable small house! I see great things in your future 🥰
Take what you loved about her house and make it your own. Two tone hallways, do it in your color scheme. Wall of eccentric art, you have gorgeous paintings and floral needlepoint, your style, do your own wall. Right now your size house and garden takes up what time you have. Go bigger need more time.
Elise, tomorrow I will be 62 years old. Those kids on my lap in my profile picture are all grown now! You are so young, and I am glad you see the warning signs of burnout. I wish I had taken better care of myself in so many ways when I was younger. Maybe a trip somewhere Mediterranean for a long weekend or a staycation. Breathe and have some fun, because life is about that too!
Yellow bush = Forsythia // I love that you got to meet a “role model” and life motivator. I think you’re doing amazing - we always judge ourselves so harshly.
Sorry for the comment spam -- that yellow bush is called Forsythia (in the US). They were always the first sign of spring where I grew up. Hope you enjoyed your coffee date!
Oh the house was divine, as you promised. Loved her gallery wall! Please please please take time and rest. Our health is truly our wealth. Take time to recharge. I’m really loving your videos so much lately. Just being you is enough, and of course that beautiful garden. 🌞🌻🌻🌻🌻
Hello ☺. Try living in the moment more! Don't be so hard on yourself. Money and possessions aren't everything in life. You're wishing ahead for more, even a bigger house etc. Your house is beautiful and fits you and your budget for now. Enjoy it. Sending Springtime 🥀🌷⚘love, light and blessings. Xx
elise , I feel You need to realise HOW MUCH YOU HAVE DONE over the years. You ave an amazing business , and beautiful Home and Garden and You should give Yourself a HUGE PAT ON THE BACK...there are many here who would Love Your Life too , so be proud of all You do and take Time to recharge xxx PS the fallen leaves are so full of goodness for new growth in Your Sweet garden xx I highly recommend getting a Compost bin if You don't already have one , or You can even put the leaves in black plastic rubbish bags with a few holes put in and tuck them away in a corner to break down, Your Garden will love You for it later xx If You put some music on and do a little bit each day in the garden , it will add up in no time at all, ps there is always something to do in the Garden but like You say it si so GOOD FOR THE SOUL xxx BIG HUGS !! xxx
I have a compost bin I bought last year, it was FULL after like a few weeks haha 🥰 So right now I have to drive it out for composting elsewhere. And thank you so so so much!!
Elise your seasons in Lilac web page is stunning, no wonder you are tired and a bit run down you work so hard. I hope you can find time for yourself this weekend, you were less smiley this time and it would be horrible if your health crashed after all your hard work. You are very creative and talented don’t burn your self out please. ❤
Elise, You will have everything you desire in your future! Speak as if you already have it or say; "When I have my dream house." You have come so far at such a young age. Take time out for self-care. I don't know if you have a tub, but I used to have a jacuzzi tub in my bathroom in my last house and I miss it! I will have another one! I spent an hour or more at a time in that tub with a glass of wine and my favorite music with candles. We all deserve to pamper ourselves. Also, have you tried Valerian root for help with sleeping? When I have trouble falling asleep, I have a CD called Thundering Rainstorm. I love it when it rains and the sound of it puts me to sleep like a baby. All the best to you!
Congratulations on all the new sponsors Elise! You are so deserving of them. Your whole content, aesthetics and filming style are so artistic, I just love it all. Yes to Spring!! I also went a little crazy at the garden center lol. Please take care of yourself. Maybe get some exercise or swimming. I'm always so exhausted after swimming that I can take an 8 hour nap. And remember one day you'll have a castle ❤
Thank you so much for noticing! 🥰It's been so wild to work with so many amazing brands this month, I don't know how they all found me and made it happen all at the same time. 🥰
Elise, please take good care of you. Getting proper rest and nutrition are crucial for feeling good. Maybe Melatonin would help you rest. I take 5 mg about one hour before I want to go to sleep and it really does help. I've also been listening to a sound machine set on the rain sound and it's very relaxing. Sometimes I wind up a music box that was my Morhers. She used to bring it into my room when I was little to help me go to sleep and it still works 56 years later. The song it plays? Beethovens Fur Elise. (Umlaut over the u though. Lol) Be well. Get rest. Keeping you in my prayers.
Citrus trees hate the cold and I think that having it by your door is a big part of why it’s so unhappy. Maybe move it where there won’t be a cold draft hitting it? Somewhere warm! Sorry you’re feeling not well! Hope you get a great nights sleep! Feel better sweetie!
Yes, at Versailles they used to roll all the citrus trees indoors in gigantic pots on rollers for the winter. Probably even colder in Denmark than France.
Girl working for yourself is no small task as you know. I remember those days but I would crash when I got home. I would also go away to rest for a couple days and start over. I had so many goals and dreams (still do, just run at a slower pace). You are just as creative, just as successful, and talented as anyone out there. Filming, running your business, taking care of your home and looking like a million, no billion dollars. Honey you are a hit and no one can take that from you. Creating your life to this point has been a huge success, pat yourself on the back and wrap your arms around yourself and hug yourself YOU ARE A ROCK STAR ⭐️ and don’t you ever forget that. Your home is beautiful and you are successful ❤🎉 and you are about to hit 300K subscribers look at you glow 🌟😊
Your outdoor furniture is reminiscent of the vintage ones that each strip of wood was painted a different colour such as yellow, turquoise and white. Nice and cheery.
I hope you have a proper break planned for Easter. Skipping a collection next week to give more time to prepare the next will help that. Taking us for a day in the woods or - not the beach with this weekend's squally weather lol - something might help to take you out of your busy busy mode. Good health is real wealth. You're much further along in life than most of your generation. You're where you need to be right now. Enjoy this time whilst you have it.
If only I lived in Denmark, it would be so wonderful to work with you to assist you (I love vintage and have plenty retail experience so if you ever expand to the UK then I’m your woman!). Being self employed is hard, my husband is self employed and works from home (he has a YT channel too) so his working hours are sometimes late into the night and it’s just himself. I enjoyed this vlog, your new collection is so pretty, perfect for Easter. Wishing you a lovely weekend xx
Loved what you were wearing after your lunch break. I think we all need some Summer weather as I have felt the same. Our Royal Family not being well hasn't helped morale either and we all need some sunny weather days.
Good question but it is the nature of Danes to be physically fit, walking ang biking, winter bathing. Being heavy I woud imagine would be unusual. Not sure where her customers are located. PS I love this channel and also "Diane in Denmark". ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I want to encourage you. Please speak life over yourself! Don't say something will be impossible for you.💜 You are doing amazing and there is more to come for you! I absolutely love your home. I am so proud of you and you have accomplished a great deal. I see greater opportunities coming your way! Stay positive and inspired.🫶🏽
Partway into the video, I paused, and went to look at my coffee table - right in the middle of it is the Happy Home book, by Charlotte Rice!! 😀 I thought it sounded familiar! My decor is similar to hers... white walls, with red, blue, yellow, and hot pink pops of colour! It makes me so HAPPY! I always love your videos, Elise! Please take care of your precious self, and try not to push yourself too hard. When I was teaching, I often pushed myself to the limit, as you do at times... you want to preserve your energy; keep something in reserve. Sending you love and hugs from Canada! 😀
I am not a sleeper. My doctor prescribed Quetiapine for sleep. It has been a life saver! I know a lot of people do not like taking drugs but I had no choice in the matter. Good luck…and sweet dreams
Please take good care Elise, the webshop looks wonderful! I know when I get overly tired it seems even more difficult to relax and recover, I like so many others here have come to admire and care about you. Remember your friends are always cheering for you! Much love from the U.S.A.
Dearest Elise .. big hug from Indiana !! I hope something grows from your meeting with Charlotte !! your cottage is lovely !we always seems to want or compare.. growing older I have learned to be content and thankful ! My husband has a business and always works 6days a week a lot of hours and a lot of days with problems! I told him to soar like an Eagle like the wind under his winds ,not to flap like a duck lol.. Don't wear yourself out !! hugs and blessings sweet girl ~~ Paula
Hi Elise!! You are such a hard working boss lady!! Your collection is beautiful 💜 Please take time to do things that you enjoy & just breathe. Life goes by so quickly!! You are smart, beautiful, & successful!! You have already achieved so much!! Take care of yourself sweet girl ❤😊
I agree with the other viewer that you are working hard and I live alone and know that feeling of oh my God what next? I have like you garden, car, dog, home and yourself to keep afloat financially, emotionally and physically and sometimes you have to have a day or so to recoup, re-energise and to get your energy back. Well done all women who manage their own lives without help.
You’ve got to rest. It is a huge part of keeping your body healthy! If you don’t your body can’t repair and rejuvenate itself well. Hope you have a wonderful week Elise!
Chamomile tea before bedtime works wonders to help you unwind and sleep soundly. A 30 minute brisk walk in the day helps to reduce stress and clear the mind for better sleep also. Works for me. 😊
Plus some me downtime, just relaxing and not thinking about business or anyone, just one’s self, even an afternoon out walking and for a cafe stop to sit and reflect, I find calming.
Wow, Charlotte and her husband’s home was such a happy decorated home. So interesting. Elise, I wondered if your shop is open for people to come and purchase items. I think you used to have it open and then started to do things online. Would it be easier on yourself, if it was open, if not, even a few days a week. You have a lot of stock and a lot of clothing in your home. You were very lucky to have been invited to Charlotte’s home and I hope that she gave you some good business advice on how she runs her businesses. We just had a bad snow storm this weekend in Canada, so can’t even think about plants. You tree looks like Kumquats and many people I believe make jam with them, if I recall. Love to see things you cook, as I have mentioned before, you used to show us a lot of cooking recipes and all look great. All the best and hope you are doing something for Easter holidays. Maybe it’s good for you to just take a me day and relax and have some downtime. I find it energizes us.
The best part of the kumquat is the sweet skin but it's balanced by the sour juice inside. They're great sliced with frozen blueberries or sliced tossed in a salad. Pretty and tasty.
That is a fair sized garden you have there Elise...it takes time and energy to keep up with all the work you have to do on it as well as your regular web shop work. I wonder could you get a little help maybe from family or friends...it would help ease the burden on you and would give you a chance to recharge the batteries...is all too much for one person, your health is everything!!♥️♥️♥️
Your yellow bush is forsythia and if you wanted to have another you just pick at a node and put in water and it should sprout roots. Gardens are so therapeutic anything to do with nature is but your own garden is something you can cultivate and make it your own and love and cherish it and watch the seasons bring you gifts. So exciting.
ELISE! You said for the year 2024, you were going to slow down with work. You have anxiety if you dont get everything done perfectly and run yourself ragged. Try this: Get an appointment book that has different times in it. Start making a schedule. Figure out the number of hours you want to work per day, which days you'll take off, and how many vacations and sickbtimebyou get.I found this was the only solution for me. And boy, does it work!
I think it is very human to overestimate what you can do within a certain amount of time. Spring also seems to have an effect on wanting to get so much done. I thought I saw you eating off of a vine wreathed plate, just before you were trying to nap. It reminded me of my grandmother’s Friendly Village dishes, which then reminded me of her saying “ a rest is almost as good as a nap”. As someone who has to constantly work within a limited energy threshold in order to heal, I have been exploring energy giving activities (in addition to sleep), such as meditation, drawing, listening to a favourite audiobook while doing a task, gardening might be one for you (and one day for me again), listening to bird song and watching squirrels play,… It seems that the medical advice I am being given is that lowering emotional stress, allows for more energy to be used elsewhere, physically and cognitively. Feeling of “overwhelm” is a little insight bell for me to do something recharging - even for a short time. Take good care of yourself and thank you for another lovely video filled with beauty 🥰
Aww...Take some time to nurture yourself, Elise.❤ On the citrus tree; When moved from one environment to another, plants and little fruit trees have a shock period. I had this happen on a little fig tree I bought. It had a ton of figs growing on it and they ALL fell off!!😢 Also, when there is a large amount of ripe fruit on it, remove the ripe ones so they don't continue to take too much energy from the tree needed for the developing fruits.😊 Love "Season of Lilacs"! Beautiful.🪻🍃🪺🪻🦋
Oh Elise I was screaming When you got your Fabulous Green coat out It’s my Favourite of all time. You Look Amazing in everything you wear Sending you much Love x❤️
I hope you get a good night's sleep Elise. Being self-employed is hard work and stressful. You are juggling many balls at once. Rest more this week. Thank you for a lovely video.
I was wondering if they were kumquats. They look a little bigger than kumquats on the actual tree but, when she squeezed one and I saw how small they are I thought "kumquats"! I love those!!
I think it’s a qumquat tree ….its losing its leaves can either be due to over or underwatering. You can check online for tips for kumquat tree care indoors ❤
@@EliseBuch maybe it’s just a little in shock. With your tender loving care I’m sure she will bounce back. Better to water it in the sink very well once a week and saturate it, than watering just a little often
Make sure to get out and have fun with family and friends. You dont need a pet with your busy life. But if you get a chance to dog sit or cat sit a night or two (family or friends pet )..take them up on it. Animals are great medicine for relaxation,reducing stress, dopamine, ❤
There is nothing worse than not sleeping properly because then everything else seems insurmountable. Take some time over Easter to recharge and rest. I also find that the change of seasons puts me out of sorts, so maybe there is a bit of that as we. Take care darling xxxx
Skip the collection next week. Take this serious. Right now you remind me of me before I crashed and couldn't work at all for a loooong time. Do not wait anymore, rest now, take much more time off, slow down, do not wait until it's impossible to push yourself more. Right now you still have a chance to recover but if you keep pushing on like this you will crash and might never come back to even what was your normal energy and you might have to take months off work. You need to take a few weeks that is much calmer and also after that not over work yourself. I know it's really hard to slow down when you normally just can push on and do it all but when you feel like you do now, cry, can't sleep, can't rest, stressed etc. etc. you need to treat it like you are sick and rest and take it easy for a few weeks even on days you feel fine. And you need to do it now.
Rest if you can, enjoy the garden…it can be the best medicine! So excited for your meeting and networking…big things await! Thank you for keeping it real. 😊
If you use a pressure washer to clean your paths and paved areas it will make a huge difference. So does mulching all your flower beds with either hay, lucerne or wood chips.
You got to slow down or you will make yourself I'll!!! When you think you have to push yourself.... Your already doing to much!! What you are doing today will wait till tomorrow! Take a drive go to the beach Let the wind and waves wash your worries away... Take care of yourself!
Charlotte has a wonderful house! You would fit right into a house like that, but I think she would also be comfortable in your house. You have the same decoration vibe but different budgets. That could be your new challenge, a house that has elements of Charlotte's but thrifted and DIY. Have a good weekend and I hope you sleep through it all!
Web shop looks beautiful! Charlotte's house is very grand and also lovely, but yours is just as charming in its own way. Love the spring signs in your garden! You are blessed.
Elise please take it slower next week or even take a break. You are amazing! Try not to fuss or worry about things. You are doing a fantastic job! We all love you! Peace, Love & Light!
You always look so adorable in all the outfits. You inspire so many. What an opportunity you had to meet with the business women in your area. I worry about my daughter and all the hours she works and now you also mention how tired you are. So glad you had vitamins. I find Calm magnesium powder or tart cherry juice help me sleep. Have a lovely weekend. Your garden will be so lovely again soon. Happy Spring 🪴🌸🩷
Thank you so much to Ritual for Sponsoring this week's video. Get 25% OFF your first vitamins on: ritual.com/elisebuch 🌱
Succulents would look great in froggy.
You can also clip the last few inches of the Ivy and stick them in water to root new plants..
I dont know how you do it. When I saw that beautiful dress you had for 2 years, I just wouldn't have been able to give that one up. Maybe I can say and feel that way now because I'm 58.

This! Print it, read it everyday
Fruit trees drop leaves when they are moved from store to homes, it will recover. Keep loving it 😍
I really hope so 🙈
Good to know. I've been wanting one since I saw Elise's.
You already have a beautiful home and garden. Homes evolve over time. Just keep doing what you’re doing.
Love that green sweater you had on at the end of your video. Elise , please take care of yourself, you have a lot of friends out here and we want to see whatever you can manage.Don’t feel bad if you have to take a break, we will still be here. We love you.
I think her season is autumn. She looks beautiful in those colors
Thanks 🥰
Just a little idea from an Australian gardener. Pop all of the leave litter onto your garden beds as it is a natural compost, and cuts down on your “rubbish”. It is leaf gold for your garden xx
It would hide all of my spring bulbs hehe
Oh Elise, as someone who has a tendency to overwork and under-sleep, I really feel for you. From your videos recently, you have what I call ‘too many tabs open’ (like when you open lots of documents and web links on a laptop and need to click a lot of exit Xs to shut down.) you have a lot of things going on: moving shop, skylight, other house jobs on top of your own deadlines for Bohemian Wonders. Who knows what else is running through your mind. Try to rest your head on the pillow and say ‘I’ve done what I can and earned this sleep.’ Also, take shutdown’ time. You might have more energy and work better with some balance. Take care of yourself. You produce great work. X
This was well said. Closing tabs before opening new ones will help all of us. 👏
Closing tabs! That is a brilliant way to think of it ✨
Thank you 🥰🥰
Your yellow flowered bush is called a Forsythia. Here in the northern US, it’s one of the first signs of spring!!
Yes. Our Forsythia is in bloom here also in NE Ohio. Made the snow a bit more bearable today 😂
@nanjahnke-6776
Forsythia blooming is a sign of Spring here in the Southern states as well.
😉
I was wondering what it was called! I have one too.

I think you should not leave the died leaves under the potted lemon tree. They could be infected.
2 things for your citrus tree. 1) make sure its not near a heater and yes plenty of light. 2) Make sure you are not overwatering it. That will kill it. water once a week and not at the middle. If you can pick it up and check at the water hole at the bottom to see if its dry or wet. You need to get the water to the roots, but not too much.

The yellow bush is called forsythia it is first to bloom in spring vary your protein. Cheers!
I do dream of architecture more like her house for myself one day, all of the details in the building were amazing 🥰
Citrus trees need a lot of sun
Yes! My mother had a Meyer Lemon tree in a 3-season sunroom in Atlanta and it was finicky.
Yes, they are growing in warm sunny places like the South of France, Italy, Spain etc... not in cold Denmark 😬
Hello Elise, a little tip, only cut the hydrangeas when there is no more frost. Hydrangeas protect the new flowers with the old inflorescences.
Elise, tomorrow I will be 62 years old. Those kids on my lap in my profile picture are all grown now! You are so young, and I am glad you see the warning signs of burnout. I wish I had taken better care of myself in so many ways when I was younger. Maybe a trip somewhere Mediterranean for a long weekend or a staycation.

Happy birthday. Great advice. I'm 2 months behind you.
I would loove a trip! 🥰

You are very creative and talented don’t burn your self out please. ❤
Thank you so much 🥰
Yes,yes,yes you must get a good night's rest. Very important for your health and well being. We love you so much and only want the best for you💝
Elise, You will have everything you desire in your future! Speak as if you already have it or say; "When I have my dream house." You have come so far at such a young age. Take time out for self-care. I don't know if you have a tub, but I used to have a jacuzzi tub in my bathroom in my last house and I miss it! I will have another one! I spent an hour or more at a time in that tub with a glass of wine and my favorite music with candles. We all deserve to pamper ourselves. Also, have you tried Valerian root for help with sleeping? When I have trouble falling asleep, I have a CD called Thundering Rainstorm. I love it when it rains and the sound of it puts me to sleep like a baby. All the best to you!
Congratulations on all the new sponsors Elise! You are so deserving of them. Your whole content, aesthetics and filming style are so artistic, I just love it all.
Yes to Spring!! I also went a little crazy at the garden center lol.
Please take care of yourself. Maybe get some exercise or swimming. I'm always so exhausted after swimming that I can take an 8 hour nap. And remember one day you'll have a castle ❤
Thank you so much for noticing! 🥰It's been so wild to work with so many amazing brands this month, I don't know how they all found me and made it happen all at the same time. 🥰
I find taking a Melatonin sometimes before I go to bed helps me have a good sleep when my mind is racing etc. Take care of yourself. Big hugs.
Elise, please take good care of you. Getting proper rest and nutrition are crucial for feeling good. Maybe Melatonin would help you rest. I take 5 mg about one hour before I want to go to sleep and it really does help. I've also been listening to a sound machine set on the rain sound and it's very relaxing. Sometimes I wind up a music box that was my Morhers. She used to bring it into my room when I was little to help me go to sleep and it still works 56 years later. The song it plays? Beethovens Fur Elise. (Umlaut over the u though. Lol) Be well. Get rest. Keeping you in my prayers.
Citrus trees hate the cold and I think that having it by your door is a big part of why it’s so unhappy. Maybe move it where there won’t be a cold draft hitting it? Somewhere warm! Sorry you’re feeling not well! Hope you get a great nights sleep! Feel better sweetie!
Yes, at Versailles they used to roll all the citrus trees indoors in gigantic pots on rollers for the winter. Probably even colder in Denmark than France.
Girl working for yourself is no small task as you know. I remember those days but I would crash when I got home. I would also go away to rest for a couple days and start over. I had so many goals and dreams (still do, just run at a slower pace). You are just as creative, just as successful, and talented as anyone out there. Filming, running your business, taking care of your home and looking like a million, no billion dollars. Honey you are a hit and no one can take that from you. Creating your life to this point has been a huge success, pat yourself on the back and wrap your arms around yourself and hug yourself YOU ARE A ROCK STAR ⭐️ and don’t you ever forget that. Your home is beautiful and you are successful ❤🎉 and you are about to hit 300K subscribers look at you glow 🌟😊
Elise sweetheart, you have all our love and support. Your mental and physical health is the most important thing. Take a break, when you need it.💜🇦🇺
Yellow bush looks like a forsythia. We had one in our front yard in the house I grew up in so very nostalgic for me. ❤💛
Your outdoor furniture is reminiscent of the vintage ones that each strip of wood was painted a different colour such as yellow, turquoise and white. Nice and cheery.
Take a long weekend and go away to some place warm and sunny and NEW! Life is too short ! Just do it !
Looking so pretty in lilac purple Elise. You do everything so neatly & elegantly. You are amazing young Lady 😊
I hope you have a proper break planned for Easter. Skipping a collection next week to give more time to prepare the next will help that. Taking us for a day in the woods or - not the beach with this weekend's squally weather lol - something might help to take you out of your busy busy mode.
Good health is real wealth. You're much further along in life than most of your generation. You're where you need to be right now. Enjoy this time whilst you have it.
Take care of yourself, you are very precious.
If only I lived in Denmark, it would be so wonderful to work with you to assist you (I love vintage and have plenty retail experience so if you ever expand to the UK then I’m your woman!). Being self employed is hard, my husband is self employed and works from home (he has a YT channel too) so his working hours are sometimes late into the night and it’s just himself. I enjoyed this vlog, your new collection is so pretty, perfect for Easter. Wishing you a lovely weekend xx
Loved what you were wearing after your lunch break. I think we all need some Summer weather as I have felt the same. Our Royal Family not being well hasn't helped morale either and we all need some sunny weather days.
You have my dream house ❤ do you think you will ever offer plus sizes in your shop?
Good question but it is the nature of Danes to be physically fit, walking ang biking, winter bathing. Being heavy I woud imagine would be unusual. Not sure where her customers are located. PS I love this channel and also "Diane in Denmark". ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I want to encourage you. Please speak life over yourself! Don't say something will be impossible for you.💜 You are doing amazing and there is more to come for you! I absolutely love your home. I am so proud of you and you have accomplished a great deal. I see greater opportunities coming your way! Stay positive and inspired.🫶🏽
Take care lovely Elise! Do what feels right for you right now. We’ll support you no matter what! ❤️
Partway into the video, I paused, and went to look at my coffee table - right in the middle of it is the Happy Home book, by Charlotte Rice!! 😀 I thought it sounded familiar! My decor is similar to hers... white walls, with red, blue, yellow, and hot pink pops of colour! It makes me so HAPPY! I always love your videos, Elise! Please take care of your precious self, and try not to push yourself too hard. When I was teaching, I often pushed myself to the limit, as you do at times... you want to preserve your energy; keep something in reserve. Sending you love and hugs from Canada! 😀
It's still winter where I live .🇨🇦 I can't wait to work in all of my flower gardens. It's so relaxing and good for the soul.❤
I am not a sleeper. My doctor prescribed Quetiapine for sleep. It has been a life saver! I know a lot of people do not like taking drugs but I had no choice in the matter. Good luck…and sweet dreams
Please take good care Elise, the webshop looks wonderful! I know when I get overly tired it seems even more difficult to relax and recover, I like so many others here have come to admire and care about you. Remember your friends are always cheering for you! Much love from the U.S.A.
Thank you! 🥰
Dearest Elise .. big hug from Indiana !! I hope something grows from your meeting with Charlotte !! your cottage is lovely !we always seems to want or compare.. growing older I have learned to be content and thankful ! My husband has a business and always works 6days a week a lot of hours and a lot of days with problems! I told him to soar like an Eagle like the wind under his winds ,not to flap like a duck lol.. Don't wear yourself out !! hugs and blessings sweet girl ~~ Paula
Hi Elise!! You are such a hard working boss lady!! Your collection is beautiful 💜 Please take time to do things that you enjoy & just breathe. Life goes by so quickly!! You are smart, beautiful, & successful!! You have already achieved so much!! Take care of yourself sweet girl ❤😊
I agree with the other viewer that you are working hard and I live alone and know that feeling of oh my God what next? I have like you garden, car, dog, home and yourself to keep afloat financially, emotionally and physically and sometimes you have to have a day or so to recoup, re-energise and to get your energy back. Well done all women who manage their own lives without help.
You’ve got to rest. It is a huge part of keeping your body healthy! If you don’t your body can’t repair and rejuvenate itself well. Hope you have a wonderful week Elise!
U make art from every single thing in your day Elise, thank u so much for share it with us, hope that u can have more chillin time now 💖✨
You mame me dream of spring and gardening 🥹… Still snow and cold weather around here😅! Love from Montréal Canada❤
Your yellow bush is a Forsythia. Lovely Spring trees.
Chamomile tea before bedtime works wonders to help you unwind and sleep soundly. A 30 minute brisk walk in the day helps to reduce stress and clear the mind for better sleep also. Works for me. 😊
Plus some me downtime, just relaxing and not thinking about business or anyone, just one’s self, even an afternoon out walking and for a cafe stop to sit and reflect, I find calming.
Get a shower curtain liner to put on the floor when you repot. You can just take it outside to get rid of the dirt
Wow, Charlotte and her husband’s home was such a happy decorated home. So interesting. Elise, I wondered if your shop is open for people to come and purchase items. I think you used to have it open and then started to do things online. Would it be easier on yourself, if it was open, if not, even a few days a week. You have a lot of stock and a lot of clothing in your home. You were very lucky to have been invited to Charlotte’s home and I hope that she gave you some good business advice on how she runs her businesses. We just had a bad snow storm this weekend in Canada, so can’t even think about plants. You tree looks like Kumquats and many people I believe make jam with them, if I recall. Love to see things you cook, as I have mentioned before, you used to show us a lot of cooking recipes and all look great. All the best and hope you are doing something for Easter holidays. Maybe it’s good for you to just take a me day and relax and have some downtime. I find it energizes us.
Dear Elise, sending you a lot of power and love. Have a cozy weekend! 🍓🥂☀️
Elise!! Take care of you.
I worry about that lovely rug..you repot plants on your rug! Lol.
Keep being you x
Hehe 🥰I'm fearless
The best part of the kumquat is the sweet skin but it's balanced by the sour juice inside. They're great sliced with frozen blueberries or sliced tossed in a salad. Pretty and tasty.
Your "yellow bush" is a forsythia plant. One of my favorite spring blooms. I just purchased one last weekend to plant in my yard.
That is a fair sized garden you have there Elise...it takes time and energy to keep up with all the work you have to do on it as well as your regular web shop work. I wonder could you get a little help maybe from family or friends...it would help ease the burden on you and would give you a chance to recharge the batteries...is all too much for one person, your health is everything!!♥️♥️♥️
Your yellow bush is forsythia and if you wanted to have another you just pick at a node and put in water and it should sprout roots. Gardens are so therapeutic anything to do with nature is but your own garden is something you can cultivate and make it your own and love and cherish it and watch the seasons bring you gifts. So exciting.
The garden is going to be so beautiful soon😊
ELISE! You said for the year 2024, you were going to slow down with work. You have anxiety if you dont get everything done perfectly and run yourself ragged. Try this: Get an appointment book that has different times in it. Start making a schedule. Figure out the number of hours you want to work per day, which days you'll take off, and how many vacations and sickbtimebyou get.I found this was the only solution for me. And boy, does it work!
Elise! Your home looks just as fabulous as Charlotte's! Sending love from the Midwest USA! 💗
I think it is very human to overestimate what you can do within a certain amount of time. Spring also seems to have an effect on wanting to get so much done. I thought I saw you eating off of a vine wreathed plate, just before you were trying to nap. It reminded me of my grandmother’s Friendly Village dishes, which then reminded me of her saying “ a rest is almost as good as a nap”. As someone who has to constantly work within a limited energy threshold in order to heal, I have been exploring energy giving activities (in addition to sleep), such as meditation, drawing, listening to a favourite audiobook while doing a task, gardening might be one for you (and one day for me again), listening to bird song and watching squirrels play,…
It seems that the medical advice I am being given is that lowering emotional stress, allows for more energy to be used elsewhere, physically and cognitively. Feeling of “overwhelm” is a little insight bell for me to do something recharging - even for a short time. Take good care of yourself and thank you for another lovely video filled with beauty 🥰
Aww...Take some time to nurture yourself, Elise.❤
On the citrus tree; When moved from one environment to another, plants and little fruit trees have a shock period. I had this happen on a little fig tree I bought. It had a ton of figs growing on it and they ALL fell off!!😢
Also, when there is a large amount of ripe fruit on it, remove the ripe ones so they don't continue to take too much energy from the tree needed for the developing fruits.😊
Love "Season of Lilacs"! Beautiful.🪻🍃🪺🪻🦋
Oh Elise I was screaming When you got your Fabulous Green coat out It’s my Favourite of all time. You Look Amazing in everything you wear Sending you much Love x❤️
I hope you get a good night's sleep Elise. Being self-employed is hard work and stressful. You are juggling many balls at once. Rest more this week. Thank you for a lovely video.
You can eat these little kumquats with their skin on! They're really tangy and sweet at the same time. :)
I was wondering if they were kumquats. They look a little bigger than kumquats on the actual tree but, when she squeezed one and I saw how small they are I thought "kumquats"! I love those!!
hehe I've made all of my guests try one, because I find it super strange to eat the skin. 🥰 Everyone thinks I'm fooling them.

Hello Elise, very nice dresses such a good selection and great colour combinations. Relax over the weekend have some fun. Hugs to you .💚🌹
Oh, dear... You have to take care of yourself! Hope you you have some cozy time and relax and recover❤️
Sending you love. Please take care of yourself. XO
I Hope you get some rest over the weekend. Take care of yourself! ❤
I think it’s a qumquat tree ….its losing its leaves can either be due to over or underwatering. You can check online for tips for kumquat tree care indoors ❤
Hahha I really made sure not to overwater, so it's probably unhappy with getting too little. What a dramatic tree 🙈
@@EliseBuch maybe it’s just a little in shock. With your tender loving care I’m sure she will bounce back. Better to water it in the sink very well once a week and saturate it, than watering just a little often
I am praying right now that you can get some good sleep. ❤️🙏❤️
You are a breath of fresh air. I really enjoy your wonderful self and your beautiful content. Please take care of you. 💞
Every single video I've watched where you're cooking, you are ALWAYS frying an egg!!!
Yes, I eat egg almost daily for lunch 🍳
Good luck with your gardening weekend. It was healing just watching you clear the first areas.
You are already such an inspiration, so lively and still deserve some rest. My mom and I love to wach your videos. Love from Germany.❤
Thaank you to you both! 🥰
I love how all your plants are all female 🥰😂. Hugs & take care of yourself 🙏🏻 from the UK 🇬🇧xxxx
Make sure to get out and have fun with family and friends. You dont need a pet with your busy life. But if you get a chance to dog sit or cat sit a night or two (family or friends pet )..take them up on it. Animals are great medicine for relaxation,reducing stress, dopamine, ❤
There is nothing worse than not sleeping properly because then everything else seems insurmountable. Take some time over Easter to recharge and rest. I also find that the change of seasons puts me out of sorts, so maybe there is a bit of that as we. Take care darling xxxx
Whenever you repot plants in your lounge room I laugh, huge garden outside and you prefer to garden inside 😅😂 🤣
It's too cold to replant indoor plants outside right now :)
Skip the collection next week. Take this serious. Right now you remind me of me before I crashed and couldn't work at all for a loooong time.
Do not wait anymore, rest now, take much more time off, slow down, do not wait until it's impossible to push yourself more.
Right now you still have a chance to recover but if you keep pushing on like this you will crash and might never come back to even what was your normal energy and you might have to take months off work.
You need to take a few weeks that is much calmer and also after that not over work yourself.
I know it's really hard to slow down when you normally just can push on and do it all but when you feel like you do now, cry, can't sleep, can't rest, stressed etc. etc. you need to treat it like you are sick and rest and take it easy for a few weeks even on days you feel fine. And you need to do it now.
Rest if you can, enjoy the garden…it can be the best medicine! So excited for your meeting and networking…big things await! Thank you for keeping it real. 😊
If you use a pressure washer to clean your paths and paved areas it will make a huge difference. So does mulching all your flower beds with either hay, lucerne or wood chips.
Denmark is #2 on happiest places to live. USA is #23. What do you think of that Elise?
I can see why you are tired...beautiful collection...beautiful photos
Here in Canada we have white lilacs too -so the first dress is perfect 🥰
Take care Elise 🤍
You got to slow down or you will make yourself I'll!!!
When you think you have to push yourself....
Your already doing to much!!
What you are doing today will wait till tomorrow!
Take a drive go to the beach
Let the wind and waves wash your worries away...
Take care of yourself!
Hope you feel better soon. Take care of yourself ❤
Charlotte has a wonderful house! You would fit right into a house like that, but I think she would also be comfortable in your house. You have the same decoration vibe but different budgets. That could be your new challenge, a house that has elements of Charlotte's but thrifted and DIY. Have a good weekend and I hope you sleep through it all!
Web shop looks beautiful! Charlotte's house is very grand and also lovely, but yours is just as charming in its own way. Love the spring signs in your garden! You are blessed.
Thaaaank you! 🥰
Elise please take it slower next week or even take a break. You are amazing! Try not to fuss or worry about things. You are doing a fantastic job! We all love you! Peace, Love & Light!
You always look so adorable in all the outfits. You inspire so many. What an opportunity you had to meet with the business women in your area. I worry about my daughter and all the hours she works and now you also mention how tired you are. So glad you had vitamins. I find Calm magnesium powder or tart cherry juice help me sleep. Have a lovely weekend. Your garden will be so lovely again soon. Happy Spring 🪴🌸🩷
