Finding Balance and Following My Heart + Personal Update|Living Slowly as a Sensitive Person
The past two weeks, Ive spent at my family home, so grateful to be abe to be out in wild nature and connect with my loved ones. It had given me lots of time to think and remind myself of what is important to me and what I really want to do more of this year. It has been a very reflective time for me and I just wanted to share some of my thoughts and recent feelings on the time ahead. I will be sitting down for a bit of a rambly chat (this video is a bit of a long one! There was lots I wanted to share.)
Ive also been busy crafting recipes with some of my most favourite springtime herbs and in this video I will share with you: the making wild garlic butter, wild garlic oil and a nettle and potato soup.
I really hope you enjoy.
All my love,
Lika xx
💛 Thank you to you all for your beautiful support of my channel so far, and please do consider subscribing for weekly slow living videos, it means the world.
~Recipe for Nettle Soup:
-1tbsp olive oil
-1 onion, chopped
-3 cloves garlic
-2 medium white potatoes, chopped
-1L vegetable stock
-2 cups of fresh nettle leaves
-100ml vegan single cream (or non vegan if you prefer, or non....but this adds a bit of lovely creaminess to the soup)
-Salt and pepper to taste
-Put the oil in a pan and lightly cook the onion and garlic until golden.
-Add in the stock and potatoes and cook until they are soft.
-Add in the fresh nettles and the cream and cook for a further 5 mins or so.
The soup is now ready, but you can blitz it in a blender, which is what I do to make it creamy and nice!
Enjoy!
~For Garlic Butter:
I simply used a softened block of butter (I use vegan/non dairy butter) and cut up a good handful of wild garlic and mixed it up with the butter. I then keep it in the freezer until I want to add some to my cooking, it adds an amzing taste to almost any dish!
~For garlic oil:
I used twice the amount of olive oil in volume to the wild garlic in grams. I then blitzed them together in a blender and after, strained the oil through a cheesecloth. This oil is wonderful on salads, with bread dipped into it or anyhwere else really!
Enjoy!

Thank you dear friends so much! 🙏🫶🙏🫶

So thankful to have found your channel.
Having another day for yourself to do the things you love will be absolutely life transforming for you and your spirit. ❤
I am so grateful that I found your channel recently! Your videos are so calming and magical-they take me away to another place. You’ve also inspired me to want to get into herbal medicine for my family! 🌿
Thank you for the time you take to make these videos and to share a part of your life and passion with us. You inspire me a lot to move to a more deeper and meaningful life. I feel misunderstood by people about my high sensitivity of life and the beauty I see and appreciate around me. It is so nice to hear that you will continue to invest more time to what matter to you. Which give me the opportunity also to do it in my own life. Thank you again for your beautiful sharing and videos.
Many congratulations on reaching 10.5k subscribers Lika! I’ve had a short break from UA-cam recently (we’re moving house next week!), but will really enjoy catching up with your videos over the next few weeks - your lovely calming content will be a great de-stressor after this busy time. Also, well done for taking an extra day for yourself, you deserve it! Take care & much love to you 😊🌻
I found your channel just a few months ago, and I have to tell you that you have been such an inspiration. I’ve always tried to live more slowly, and tend I to shy away from the hustle. I homeschool my two sons (12 and 14). We have been foraging, making syrup, teas, and we even took a crack at that lovely nettle cake. Thank you for putting yourself out there for all of us. Taking another day for yourself during the week is the absolute right move. I’m so happy for you!
All your videos are full of a calm and positive energy, I love watching them, I always feel at peace afterwards
Congratulations on 10,000 subscribers! I always look forward to your videos and listening to a kindred voice.
Lovely videos. I now realise what my "problem" is - highly sensitive! In our 21st century it's so much about being an extrovert and I've found myself withdrawing into my own company and Nature more and more. As I watched a second video it occurred to me that you may be involved with ballet .... and yes a few sentences later you said you're a ballet teacher. Ballet is a great love of mine which I've managed to do on and off through my life. Thank you for your lovely videos which I'm sure are helping many people to understand themselves!
Ahhh a little peace of heaven. I just found you. Simply beautiful video.❤
Ohhh thank you so much, that means alot to me 🙏🌻❤️
I'm so pleased that you'll have an extra day to immerse yourself in herbalism 💚 and nature 🌸, and what a bonus for us as you pour your heart and creativity into your videos. You are such a blessing and whilst I don't always comment, I appreciate all that you do, your gentle, encouraging spirit and what you share with us. Go gently... x
UA-cam suggested I might enjoy this video... I did! Am now subscribed!
Thank YOU for creating such lovely videos. You are very inspiring to me 😊❤
I needed this. Thank you. ❤
Congratulations on honouring your desire to have time for yourself. Good job taking a day off
Thank you so much 🌻🙏💛
Love your personality
Well done on reaching so many subscribers, well deserved! It was nice to see you using dandelions as these plants can be used in so many delicious recipes- dandelion buds pickled in cider vinegar and dandelion fritters are my favourite. Enjoy your extra and well deserved day off.
You are doing a wonderful job Lika! Thank you ❤
Your channel is so beautiful. I really appreciate you ❤️🇦🇺
So pleased to find your channel. 💕
Thank you so much! 🙏🌻❤️
I am so pleased for you, Lika. Thank you for sharing your lovely interests.
I just recently found your channel. I really enjoy how calming and relaxing each one is. I was shocked when you said you work 6 days a week plus your YT channel and everything else in your life. I would never be able to tell by how relaxed you are in the videos. I think one of the things that comes through all of your videos is that self-care is so important. I would expect your channel to continue to grow as nature does and even faster than you might imagine.
What a lovely, lovely channel❤
Awww thank you ever so much! 🌻🙏
How ever did you pick nettles and not have that horrible stinging on your skin! I touch a nettle leaf once thinking it was mint and I regret that. 😂
Thank you so much for this time spent with you in lovely Wales!
Myself like you find being outside recharges me in lifts my spirits. Thank you.
Thank you so much 🙏🌻
Lika, you are a pure joy to watch. Thank you for your content.
Congratulations on your 10k subscribers! That is wonderful you are going to reduce down to 5 days a week!
I managed to get out for a delightful walk on Saturday (the sunniest day of the bank holiday weekend) - needing grounding 🙂and gathered a bunch of ransoms (wild garlic) I quick fried it with some butter and had it on toast, was delicious! Wonderful video as always, thank you.
Ohhh that sounds so wonderful! And yes wild garlic is simply the best no? 😁 how lovely! And thank you so much for the kind words, I truly appreciate it 🙏🌻💛
Sorry what was your name?
@@SimplyMagicalLiving its Mike (my family is from Wales originally, Ogmore to be exact), and thank you again Lika.
@@LaysAndLore oh how nice! Lovely to meet you!
You are a calming and gentle soul❤I have to say I have been stung by nettles on a trail, I can’t believe they can be used when you are making things to eat and drink🤣🤔
I have as well. It hurt for days!
Out side of a Nettle patch , theres are usually plants with large leaves called Dock plants . Pick the leave and place it on the singing part of the skin . Immediate relief
I love your videos so far, thank you for sharing ❤
Congratulations Lika! 🫶
Thank you so much! 🙏🌻💛
We are using olive oil on a daily basis, and each brand and each origin has its own distinguished taste, spiciness and so on… on general they usually being given inside a dark green-yellowish colored bottle to prevent deoxidation, which i found out being felt, so .. just a tip for you and for the people who are being inspired by you. 9:43
New to your channel I absolutely love it
@Jez-explores-outdoors hello there! Aww thank you so much! That means alot to me 🙏✨️🌻 I hope you enjoy my videos to come.
I just found you recently and am so grateful. You are very inspiring. I will be out getting the free delicious food Mother Nature gave us and try your recipes. Ps. You blue dress is amazing. Where is it from please x
Thankyou ❤
You are so kind *
Three years ago I made this video about the importance of spending time in nature and in the woods:
ua-cam.com/video/67ir8N_lDEI/v-deo.html
I think you have come to the same conclusion. In a way, I am glad that not everyone goes to the woods - otherwise there would be no possibility to find anywhere to be alone. I also live in North Wales. Thankfully I've found an area of woodland which is a little hard to get to, and hence nobody goes there - so I can have the whole place to myself.
Good morning
I'm new here. Where do you live pleas❤ thank you
Hi there! Awww lovely to have you here 🤗 well....I live in London but in this video I was visiting my family who live in North Wales...how about you? 🌻
Wow how exciting, free supermarket! 🌾🍃🌿🌱🌸🌼🏞️💚
