Thank you for reading, Melissa and I’m so glad it inspired you. Let us know how you romanticise your everyday when you have a chance to put it into practice. ☺️
Most definitely! Today for example, I took the train instead of driving to a busy city, noticing the foxgloves, rhododendrons, small yellow flowered weeds in the cracks of the railway tracks, sheep and lambs in the field, deer grazing. Just lovely!
I'm also a big fan of lighting candles in my home office. I also have a few low-wattage lamps that I turn on in the mornings so I don't have the "big light" casting harsh light as I ease into my mornings. Low, cozy lighting is perfect for sifting through emails, running reports, and organizing my day. I usually don't turn on the "big light" until after lunch. It's lovely.
That does sound lovely. I have a lamp next to the sofa and I always put that on if I’m watching TV in the evening because the overhead light is too harsh. Lamplight and candlelight are great ways to make the ordinary magical!
This was gorgeous to read Victoria and Emily. I thoroughly enjoyed your romanticised weeks. Such a beautiful reminder of the joys of the little things.
This has inspired me to romanticise my time a little more, but I think we should all do this!
Thank you both for this wonderful collaboration 🙏💕
I'm so glad Debbie 💛 I genuinely got so much out of this week ... Way more than I thought I would. I hope you do give it a go ✨ I'd love to hear your take and experience with it.
Thank you for reading, Debbie! I’d love to hear about how you romanticise your time if you give it a try. It has definitely made me think a lot more about ways to find small joys in the mundane moments. ☺️
Thank you for reading, Olivia! It was such a fun project to do and I’m hoping I can be a bit more present to carry it with me more into my normal life. 🤞🏻
Oh this was just so gorgeous, ladies. What a beautiful way to spend a week and I’m so grateful you shared your experiences. It really is the simple things in life, isn’t it? That’s where the romance lies. 💕🌸
You absolutely should Lara ... I was surprised what a real difference it made ! I think just zeroing in and focusing on it really helped. I felt like I learnt a lot 🙏💕
Such an inspiring post! Thank you … it was exactly what I needed to brighten up my day ! I’ll start writing in my journal just a few words to focus on the tiny moments of beauty and wonder in my everyday life🌟
It was so lovely to get to know you a little bit better this week, Victoria, reading about your everyday life, what's on your mind and what makes you happy. I can imagine how challenging it is to focus on romanticising, slowing down and being intentional in a busy work week, but also so very rewarding!
It was so much more a challenge than I thought it would be but I’m really glad we did it. It really brought home to me how important it is to slow down. Thank you for reading Claudia and I’m happy you got to know me a little bit better! ☺️
I genuinely feel like I learnt so much doing this ... It really focused my attention on what I was doing in the present, and setting it as a 'challenge' and writing/journalling about how my day went really helped me appreciate the small ordinary beauties of every day life, and the many opportunities to slow down and really live in the moment. It was a magical week, and I hope I've taken a lot of the romantic spirit forward into my everyday.
I hope you do too Victoria! Thank you so much for having me here at The Autumn Chronicles! It really was a lovely collaboration 💕🙏
I love everything about this. You have really inspired me - thank you!
Wonderful Melissa! This makes me so happy - I’d love to know how you get along!
Thank you for reading, Melissa and I’m so glad it inspired you. Let us know how you romanticise your everyday when you have a chance to put it into practice. ☺️
I will! I have a few ideas...
Oh this is lovely! The small ordinary moments that you notice really are everything! 🙏❤️
Thank you Hayley ! It really is, and I think as soon as you tune into the ordinary magic you unlock so much magic in the every day ✨
Most definitely! Today for example, I took the train instead of driving to a busy city, noticing the foxgloves, rhododendrons, small yellow flowered weeds in the cracks of the railway tracks, sheep and lambs in the field, deer grazing. Just lovely!
Gorgeous Hayley, and this is the real life magic of being alive in this beautiful world 🙏💕
Definitely! So beautiful ☺️
This is wonderful. I love seeing all the things you can notice when you start to really look for them. It’s such a wonderful practice.
Definitely 🥰
Thank you Hayley; so glad you enjoyed it. ☺️ Yes, the small moments can be so special, can’t they? ❤️

Absolutely agree, candles all the way ! 🙏 We have hue lights so you can dim them and change the colour, warmth etc they are brilliant!
My husband has those lights in his office/man cave. He loves them!
That does sound lovely. I have a lamp next to the sofa and I always put that on if I’m watching TV in the evening because the overhead light is too harsh. Lamplight and candlelight are great ways to make the ordinary magical!
This is a truly beautiful read; thank you so much for sharing 🙏🌿

Exactly this! There’s so much that is extraordinary if you take the time to notice it. It’s certainly something I am trying to get better at doing.
