"We are invading our minds with everyone else's ideas which isn't always necessary. It can be very inspiring but also can just stop you from processing what you are thinking or going through"- wise words. Thank you 😉
Thank you so much for this video, I found it so helpful. The video ended up being the opposite of what I expected - I thought it would be a polished "perfect" day and as a fellow perfectionist I crave watching that stuff but it's not always good for me. I loved when you said "I can't go to the farm shop today because I"m one human being and I can't be perfect." I often tell myself "I can't be everything to everyone at all times". I too dream of having a locally sourced organic plastic free life or minimal consumption. But I work lots of hours in a hospital, am stressed about exams and drive a petrol car because that's what I can afford right now. I have burned out many times too because of aiming for unrealistic expectations. And you know what, sometimes just buying 1 thing that week that's packaging free is progress. A few years ago there was a huge trend amongst eco/slow loving influencers to present perfectionist and I am loving the trend towards realism. Thanks for this Madeleine, I hope that whatever you're going through in your personal lives becomes easier over time. Lots of love x
We adopted a dog a few months ago and one of the best things for my mental health has been getting out once or twice a day for dog walks. I never, ever listen to anything on my walk and I don’t look at my phone - I love just observing all the beauty of nature around me (like Spring flowers at the moment) and listening to the sounds of birds etc. Actually truly being in nature is a wonderful thing 💚
Also, being present for your dog and making sure you always know what´s going on is responsible dog ownership. I only take my phone with me to take the occasional photo of my dog, just because she is so darn cute
I recently learned soothing about choosing paint colors that helped me a lot. All paint colors have an LRV (light reflective value) number. The higher the number, the more light the color reflects light back into the room. For example, a Lrv of 50 reflects 50% light back into the room. In a space with little natural light we need to choose paint with an LRV of more than 60. I recently moved to a new condo & this info was incredibly helpful & I hope it will b for you too. Love your color choice!!
I really enjoy your videos. After watching them I'm immediately inspired and I love the fact that you keep everything realistic. 'The perfect day ' is not always what we see in the media-it can just be when we're able to achieve those little goals and do the small things that make us happy! ☺Thank you!
I needed that chat around perfectionism and food shopping today, thanks for sharing. I am currently struggling with similar pressure around this exact topic, and I also just don’t have the time or energy for the ideal scenario right now with everything else I have going on. There is no shame in ordering food online when needed, and not sticking to the “perfect” criteria for meal planning when I can’t manage it. We can’t be perfect all the time, we can only do our best 😊
I found your channel about 5 years ago, it's odd how a stranger can bring you so much inspiration and motivation! I recently decided I want to start a RUclips channel kinda similar to yours, I would love to see a video of how you started, what you learned throughout the years, what equipment you use, etc (If that's something that you are comfortable sharing of course)
Thanks for sharing this. It's so nice to see someone share a more realistic "day in my life" style video. Also, Roxy is so cute! When she was trying to take the shoe on your walk and you said "Can't take the shoe, gotta leave that behind" I just imagined her thinking "But mum, that's my walking shoe" lol
I’m not a perfectionist or a worrier…I did a bit when I was young but soon realized no matter how hard you try the bigger plan can and will overtake you in a flash. So I just try to stay in rhythm with nature and barometer of my environment and enjoy my zone
I try to stay in rhythm with nature too x
I am so ready for autumn. The weather here in Germany was really autumnal last week and now we’ve got 30° till next week and I had already changed my wardrobe.
The same happened here in the UK! I’m trying to soak it all up though as we really had a crappy summer
I’m in Australia and spring has just started. I love spring, but it also means summer is not far away and I’m so not ready for summer. Everyone keeps saying it’s going to be a scorcher, so I’m clinging on to the last bits of cool weather 😅
Hi Madeline, Been watching you video's for a few mths now. Love them!
I'm from Texas and have been looking for new options for our diet. My husband has alot heart issues. Your videos has help us make the decision of no more meat.
Baby steps..
❤
As soon as my community pool closes, I am planning for fall and pulling out all of my decorations. Fall is my absolute favorite season of the year.
👍🏻✨ much appreciated to hear about your mental health the need for breathers, and all that kind of thing.
I have to do the same you know when you feel that you need to relieve the pressure just do it and just rest .
That was a really long advert Maddie!! I prefer it when you take a couple minutes to talk about sponsors rather than talking about it for almost an hour on and off....
I love when your video shows up just as i’m sitting down to lunch! wishing you well 💖
Here in the states (Ohio) we just had a week in the 90s’f. I am so ready for Autumn and the cool crisp days, outdoor fires and hot apple cider
Oooh those blackberries, how wonderful is that! to be able to pick yummy fruit and it's free, as for the fields of kale, amazing!! Your countryside walks are a dream, thanks for sharing.
I love your choices of colors for your home. You definitely have a gift!
It’s been a billion degrees for three months straight in Texas, so I’m so so so ready for autumnal weather!! We’ve been embracing every little part of autumn that we can until the weather decides to cool down, like iced PSL and a few decorations around the house. I am ready to wear sweaters and drink hot coffee though! 😆
I totally relate to you! I had burnout 2 years ago - work related and I am also a perfectionist and put pressure on myself to do everything. Like you I now try to stay in bed a little longer in the morning and I get out regularly for nature walks. I also know when I’m getting stressed and slow down and strip things back. Nature is a wonder healer!
Lovely vlog as always, you are awesome I really enjoy your vlogs ❤
I feel like I struggle with a lot of the same things - forgetfulness, needing to write things down, etc, but in my case it's more to do with ADHD. Finding a planner and a schedule that works with how my brain functions just made life and uni so much easier.
I really like the lighter blue, it's almost like an eggshell blue (at least on my screen), hopefully it'll help with the darkness on the northern side.
I like your videos but this asus add throughout the video was so annoying!!!!😅
If you like my videos then you’ll understand that sponsorships enable me to keep making them! Without them I wouldn’t be able to do this as a job 🥰
Love the new paint color for the hallway. Autumn is my favorite season.
Madeleine, if you don’t have a landline phone, I would suggest keeping your phone near you/in your room when going to bed. Especially when home alone. You can put it messages on silent and even put it in a drawer and ignore it. That’s what I’d do at bed time. But God forbid something were to happen and you need to make an emergency phone call, you wouldn’t have your phone anywhere near you. I hate to even put that out there, but, it is something to think about.
I’m looking for the recipe for the yummy mushroom dish you made at the end. Thank you for your organizational tips. I get organized, overly so, and then gradually come undone again. So hard to be consistent. I do absolutely believe in the 10 minutes of light each morning. Even in the winter when I go to work in the dark and come home in the dark, I try to take a little break in my job as a nurse and step outside for a few minutes when the sun finally comes up.
Humans evolved in, and still need, nature. Using no headphones enables you to have that pure relationship with nature, which is not "doing nothing". It's doing a very important thing for your health and well being. Well done, to build more of that into your day!
I find the Hurtta Training Vest ECO a really good jacket for dog walks at this time of year. It's sleeveless, has all the pockets you could ever dream of and is also somewhat waterproof. It's great because it's heavy enough to be an extra layer when it's a bit chilly but sleeveless and light enough to not make you overheat when it's warm/there is no wind! It also has a huge pocket on the back that can easily fit a jumper in if you get too hot or are worried you might get cold. It's made from recycled materials too 😃
Wonderful walks yes make that crumble! Thank you for your post! :)
I would leave the lines as some texture for the walls. It would give it a more real lived in look and not so bland and flat. Years from now you'll see them and remember the renovation and be proud of all the work you put it.
When I worked, I liked to plan my work Fri. for the next week so that on Mon. I hit the ground running.
Love your videos all these years! I hate the heat so I am looking forward to cool weather. Ontario is hotter than people think!!
the paint colour is beautiful you made a excellent choice !
I really love your long vlogs! And I am SO ready for autumn, I decked my flat in all the colors and the decor that I love and then... heatwave stuck 😢
Loved the video visit with you & the new paint colour
Already pre ordered the cook book and im so excited!!😁
I wish it was cool here at all, our summer in Arkansas in the US has been miserable hot and still is🥵. Love your beautiful home, you are so talented.
Love autumn! I am so ready for it too😍🥰
I’m ready for autumn, bring it on !
I totally relate ❤😊🙌❤ Thanks for keeping it real. Big hugs x
Really enjoyable vlog. The paint choice is gorgeous.
Maddy we really like the new color. we think it will work out perfectly. We enjoyed the video. Yes we are ready for Autumn. ❤
thank you maddie, the perfect day is imperfect
My kitchen cupboards are parma grey, painted years ago, they change colour from blue to green to grey, don't know if their paint still does that these days but I llove it.
Costa is soooooo much better than starbucks 😊
Just some positive feedback among all the "that sponsorship was too long"-comments: can we talk about how perfectly you embedded it when you were using photoshop to visualize the colour on the wall!? I have to admit that I was a little annoyed as well at some points, but I understand that that is what makes your job possible - and just wanted to point out how smooth that portion of the sponsorship felt because it was there, but felt more natural than some other parts. Very well done, Maddie!
I am so ready for autumn 🍂!
SAME!!
So ready for Autumn❤❤❤❤
Fabulous Fabulous video Madeleine!!💓😁
Thank you so much!
Sorry to inform you, Starbucks pumpkin spice sauce used in their latte contains dairy. I only found this out recently so am very unhappy :(
In the UK it is vegan if you order with dairy free milk and without the cream!
Thank goodness you are right (just did a deeper dive!) Yippee! Pumpkin Spice Lattes all round then @@MadeleineOlivia
Just for thought, wouldn't getting a refurbed or second hand laptop be more sustainable?
We regularly buy refurbed tech! In fact most of the tech we have for our business is refurbed! But this laptop was a great choice for us for many reasons
Nice 👌🏻 thanks for being vulnerable with us Maddie, I think a lot of us appreciate it 💛
What's the podcast about walking called? :) couldn't find it in the comments...thanks!
Love this video! What editing software do you use?
You look Beautiful in your thumbnail, Olivia!🫶🏻❤️
Love the Stanley cup, there are several different ones, which one is the one you have please
Can I ask what is the other cheaper protein mix you use other than huel please
As soon as I finish my morning team meeting, I'm back in my pyjamas. 😊
Just wanted to ask which diary/planner do you use to write in
I love your planner! Where is it from?
Wheres the mushroom risotto recipe link? 😢
Why is it necessary to write down what you already have in your computer?
I’m breaking down my tasks that I have to do each day, my calendar and Trello just has down dates/briefs/details. My planner allocates when I’m doing the tasks, and breaks those tasks down. It really helps with productivity and actually getting things done! Works amazingly for me! There are quite a few books that share these kinds of methods for increased productivity
@@MadeleineOliviawould you be happy to share more productivity content? I'd be interested to watch :)
Have a nice day
the piano music
Oh my goodness, that walking podcast sounds so interesting! Anyone know the name of it?
Hi Maddie! Which planner do you use? Looks great 😊
I'm also looking for information on the planner.
Where did you get the planner book from please
It's the grace Beverly productivity planner
Hi, great to see you back! Me and my best friend have been binge watching a few of your videos. We both have a question
🤷🏼♀️
What is your favourite season?
You can just use your dog poo bags they are clean so they are just bags and something most of us will have with us. Preferably not scented x
Just a note ... I've been told most berries have worms, so be sure to soak blackberries in salt water for a few hours. You'll be surprised how much stuff ends up floating in the water. ❤🐛🐛🐛
Ewwwww lol thanks for the tip!
Yeah, they're fly maggots.
I think i'd rather not know, lol
I soak them in salty water everytime and nothing has come out before, ever. So not sure if that is actually that common.
@@msgreenswede 😂
Restoration Hardware. He’s a color. Light silver sage.
Poor girl
I don't know how many and what kind of your dreams ?
Namste how are you
It’s not the real world this is it really?
I don’t understand this sentence.🤷🏼♀️
FIRST
I soooooo relate to the anxiety/self guilt/pressure around going to the grocery store and meal planning specifically. Other errands I can get done just fine, but some weeks it’s still so hard to do what might be a basic task for others. A video I saw with Ruth Anne Zimmerman gave me a lot of peace. She talked about when you do have the extra energy, to put things up in the freezer to allow yourself to have those bad days and not feel guilty about them. 🤍
I really value your thoughts around mental health and the way you’re open about your struggles. Thank you so much for sharing.
