    I absolutely love the thought of savoring/appreciating the little things. After my husband passed I started a journal, writing down one thing that I was grateful for every day. It helped me to focus on the small positive thing instead of being overwhelmed by grief.

    • @NikkiVegan
      @NikkiVegan  9 місяців тому +2

      I’m so sorry to hear about your husband Lisa, I wish I could give you a big hug ❤️ Thanks for letting me know that journaling helped you. I think focusing on a small positive thing can definitely make a difference…both in the moment and over time ✨ Thanks for your comment, I’m sending you love! Hope you have a nice Sunday 🫶

    I love the idea of a list for each season - it’s so true that time just flies by. I’ve moved back to my home city and I want to explore it more than I did before but it’s easy to get caught up in other things. Starting my list now and will be looking into events. Your videos always make me feel peaceful, they’re like talking to a friend 💕

  • @sharonlynn2072

    I feel the exact same way about summer 😢 so I love the idea of a list for fall so that I make sure I get everything done that I want to. I really do feel like your channel accomplishes exactly what you are trying to do. You have a way of making me feel hopeful and positive even on bad days. Love your videos!

    • @NikkiVegan
      @NikkiVegan  8 місяців тому

      Thank you so much, you have no idea how good that is to hear 🥰 I'm really glad that you like my videos and that they can help brighten your day a little. That means so much to me 😊😊 I hope you enjoy making a Fall list for the season! My advice is to keep it simple and not add too many things so it's manageable and feels more like a fun list of ideas, rather than a to do list. Let me know how it turns out! Happy Fall! 🍁🎃❤️

      Aw thanks Kathy! I love doing this because it really helps me unwind. I'm not thinking "I still need to take off my makeup" when I do this early in the evening. I can just chill and relax a little more 😊 It's a small thing that makes a difference for me. Glad you liked this tip! Thanks for letting me know ❤️

    The reason i follow you and bloggers like your it isn't just because your vegan but you content is relaxing and calming to watch.

      @NikkiVegan  9 місяців тому +1

      Aw thank you so much ☺️☺️ that really means a lot to me. I try to focus on those things in my vlogs so I’m glad you appreciate them too, and that you like the idea of seasonal lists. I try to keep them short and sweet so it doesn’t feel like a to do list but rather something fun to refer to ☺️ thanks for letting me know you like my videos! Hope you have a great day ❤️❤️

  • @maggiewalsh4067

    You’re the best at being cozy, I love these videos 💖 Also I sometimes struggle to eat/cook for myself/whatnot and I really appreciate how manageable and enjoyable you make it seem

    • @NikkiVegan
      @NikkiVegan  8 місяців тому +1

      Aw thank you 🥰 I know the feeling, it can be a struggle for me too sometimes! When that's the case for me I try to 1. make extra when cooking so that I have enough for the next few days. That way I have homemade food but I'm not cooking every day of the week 😊 2. I majorly simplify things. I use fewer ingredients, opt for a store bought sauce, and rely heavily on pantry and freezer staples to make things as quick + easy as possible. Or 3. I think of something that I really enjoy cooking. Something that is fun to make, smells amazing when it's cooking, and makes me feel good. The more cozy and enjoyable the process, the better. For me that's anything with rosemary, white wine, and roasted veggies. Hope that helps! Thanks for letting me know that you like my videos. That really means a lot to me 🥰 ❤️

    It's been 5 days since you posted this video, but I didn't have time to watch sooner. I usually watch them a lot sooner after they come out, but I woke up grumpy today and hearing you talk about about what you do in this situation got me emotional and it really helped me. So it was just perfect that I didn't manage to watch the viideo before... Thank you for the whole video, but especially for that part 💖🙏

    This seasonal to-do list thing…👌🏼👌🏼genius Niki!!! I had this idea too a few days ago actually because here I am in the beginning of September barely buying flip flops and trying to track down the last available watermelon in the country. 🙄
    I’m from CO and I’ve always wanted to take the haunted tour at the infamous Stanley Hotel from The Shining in Estes park and particularly during what is called “Elk Week.” The entire little city is just surrounded by elk peacefully roaming around trying to find a mate.❤ I think that should be a must-do fall activity for anyone living or traveling to CO!

    When you said your skin gets congested I immediately thought of the rag with hot water trick!! I've been doing that after massaging my skin with oil and my skin feels so clean now! Also I did the grated tofu trend as a "pulled pork" sandwich and really enjoyed it more than jackfruit!!

    • @NikkiVegan
      @NikkiVegan  8 місяців тому

      I'm glad you like that method too! It works so well and feels really nice, like you said 😊😊 And thanks for letting me know about the tofu version. I really want to try that!
