Slow Life in the Beginning of Spring | Home Decor, Cottagecore Candles, Baking and Creativity

- A calm and peaceful beginning of spring - my slow life during first days of March in English countryside.
I've been quite impatiently waiting for Spring, but it started snowing and raining heavily. My area didn't get too much snow and instead we had days of rain and hail. I still managed to get out and catch a bit of sunshine :)

Candles were gifted without any obligation - I genuinely liked them and decided to share :)
MYTHOLOGIE CANDLE GIVEAWAY:

I genuinely fell in love with these candles - they are made out of natural coconut blend wax and have a wood wick that crackles beautifully when it burns. The Cottagecore collection has three beautiful scents. These scents are not too strong, which is what I love!
This is what they smell like to me:
- Secret Garden - smells like wildflowers and cut grass.
- Afternoon Tea - sweet tea with honey
- Stone Cottage - cozy fireplace and wet stone (this one is my favourite!)
All three candles come in a stunning box with an English cottage painted on it!

The Best (in my opinion) Banana Bread recipe:
3-4 very ripe bananas
2 eggs
60g olive oil
150g maple syrup or honey
300g sour cream or natural yoghurt
210g flour (I used gluten free blend)
100g almond flour
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
Roasted walnuts and dark chocolate to taste (I had about 100g of nuts and 90g dark chocolate bar)
Mash bananas with fork, then add eggs, oil and maple syrup and whisk well. Add yoghurt (or sour cream) and vanilla extract and mix. Then add plain flour and almond flour - no need to sift. Add cinnamon, salt, baking soda and mix again.
Roast some walnuts on a baking sheet for 5 minutes, chop coarsely. Chop a bar of chocolate. Add to the bread batter at the end.
Line a rectangular bread pan with baking paper and grease with oil. Pour the batter in. Make sure your pan is big enough as this bread will rise a bit!
Bake for 50 minutes at 180C/ 355F
Oil, yoghurt/ sour cream and almond flour are very important in this recipe as they are what makes this bread incredibly moist!
Best served slightly warm. :)

The blossoming fruit trees featured are the sort that generations gone before will have appreciated in the same way as yourself Ma'am. The timeless quality of such simple meditation acts as an elixer in a way upon the human psyche 💚
That's the kind of content and visuals I'm looking for. Thank you, Daria. I'm glad to discover your channel through youtube suggestions. ❤️
Peaceful video 💛 love your thoughts about creativity… creativity / inspiration is not something that should be forced, as you said we need to take a good rest, fresh air and ideas will come without too much effort ❤️
As always your video is positive and heartwarming. Slow living gives us many more opportunities to create, using talents we may have never known we had. I now make sculptures from driftwood I collect from long walks on the beach. Who knew?
It's so important and nice to know exactly , spring is coming, spring is filling the world by fresh blossom
Very soon! 🌷
How did I miss this video?!? I always look forward to watching your video!! I could just smell that coffee brewing & that amazing bread baking!! Such a cozy video with the rain falling & the candle lit. Thank God for the gift of spring & renewal!! Can't get enough of the blooms & sunshine!! Take care sweet girl 💚😊
Love the message regarding ideas and creativity. It's really not that easy to just create things on demand. Unless you do other things the creativity won't flourish, you have to feed it with mundane things or something completely unrelated. I often found that the most creative ideas come when you're bored or in a situation where you can't do much. I often had it during commuting, especially long train rides.
Lovely video, thank you for making and sharing it
Perhaps long walks could be a replacement for long train journeys? 😉 I’m happy you liked the video! ❤️
I love being inside when it's raining. I love the sound of the pitter pattering on the windows. It's so relaxing and cozy. When it's warm enough to sit outside I love being in a summer house or gazebo in the rain.

Thank you for answering the question of how to stay creative and produce content every week. Ir’s not as simple as it seems. But I do agree that giving yourself care, being in nature and listening is a way to stay more in touch with yourself, no matter your occupation.
I’m currently building my art business and in truth, sometimes it feels like it’s too much. But, the best things are?! Best wishes.
Beautiful video as always. How come your Apple trees are already blooming while we still have a lot of snow here. 😊. Have a great day, looking forward to your next video.
Hola, muchas gracias por tus hermosos videos, realmente aprecio todo tu tiempo, tus bellas palabras y las cosas sencillas pero hermosas que nos muestras.
Puede parecer sorprendente que a pesar de ser personas de diferentes continentes de culturas distintas, haya una conexión tan grande.
Tienes un toque especial.

Amazing video
Beautifully created video and lovely dark romantic mood. I am also a big fan of the Brontë Sisters and live in Haworth, where they lived an wrote all their novels and poems.
I am curious to know where you are from originally. I come form Croatia and have a friend called Darija.
Looking forward very much to watching your other videos.
Wishing you much inspiration and creative energy.
What is the name of the soundtrack at the beginning ? it's very beautiful.
