Such a beautiful and relaxing video, Cheryl! You never cease to inspire me with the way you film!❤️
Thank you… knowing that makes me really happy 😊
Thanks for sharing Cheryl🤗... love it! The meals looks delightful. Moments.Quiet. Simple. 😊
Thanks so much for visiting. Have a great week ahead 😊
Dear Cheryl, thank you so much for your wonderful videos🤍 They are always full of cosiness, delicious food and aesthetics. I enjoy watching them and get inspired.
I totally agree with you that such "boring" days are needed as a break from the hustle and bustle for body and soul. I always especially appreciate such moments☺
That makes the two of us! have a nice week ahead 😊
Everything about this video was so cosy and the food you made looked delicious, thank you Cheryl for sharing this content!!
I'l glad you enjoyed it! thanks for leaving such kind feedback 😊
Dear Cheryl, I agree with everything you shared here. For me, boredom is a gift and not a burden or a waste of time. Then I get creative or let my mind run free and calm down. I read an article about how important boredom is for the brain and how much we can benefit from allowing ourselves boredom on a regular basis. I really enjoy your videos and thoughts! Thank you and kind regards from Germany.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts... just like you I have read a few articles about boredom and since then I have gradually changed my mindset about it. I think it helps to know it's purpose and manage it in a way to make it work on our advantage. Although I would like to point out that chronic boredom can be a sign of deeper issues but that's another topic 😊
👍❤❤️❤️
Hi Cheryl another great video although i live now in Greece i grew up in canada so i know about the long cold winter days and frosty nights but your videos make us feel warm and cosy and they keep us great company thank you.
Thank you, you must be well on your way to spring season now in Greece. In Finland, we have long winters. Currently, it’s -4 degC 🥶 and it feels like spring is nowhere near.
Cheryl, I love your videos so much, and I appreciate all the work and effort that you put into them to be able to share a bit of your life with us (your subscribers), “thank you!” Enjoy your weekend. 😊
Hi Sloan, the pleasure is mine. Your kind comments make the effort worthwhile. Enjoy the rest of your weekend 😊
Lovely video and sentiments as always. Your videos are beautifully filmed and I love your aesthetic and message. Thank you so much!
My pleasure.. thank you for your kind words 😊
Hi Cheryl,
Your lemon posset looks so yummy. My kids will definitely love it, I must try. For tea time, you described it very well, it is so rewarding to be able to savour each sip at a slow pace. It is a ritual for me to take just 5 - 10 minutes out of my day to just enjoy a small tea break. It's a moment of calm and relaxation that I really cherish. 😊☕
Hi Amy, I highly recommend you try the lemon posset. It's sweet, tangy and refreshing is something I imagine kids will like. I'm right there with you when it comes to tea time ritual.. I enjoy watching those moments in your video. Just calm and tranquil 😊
What a sweet video! And also wonderfully filmed! So true, what I find boring is someone else’s entertainment! Candles are always a vibe! Feel like you’re only as bored as you allow yourself to be! What a delicious looking meal! So much joy in a shared meal!
You are so right about we can only be as bored as we allow ourselves to be 😊
I am reminded of Mary Oliver's poem, "Mindful."
* Mindful *
Every day
I see or hear
something
that more or less
kills me
with delight,
that leaves me
like a needle
in the haystack
of light.
It was what I was born for -
to look, to listen,
to lose myself
inside this soft world -
to instruct myself
over and over
in joy,
and acclamation.
Nor am I talking
about the exceptional,
the fearful, the dreadful,
the very extravagant -
but of the ordinary,
the common, the very drab,
the daily presentations.
Oh, good scholar,
I say to myself,
how can you help
but grow wise
with such teachings
as these -
the untrimmable light
of the world,
the ocean's shine,
the prayers that are made
out of grass?
I love how poetry expresses thoughts in a beautiful way.. thank you for sharing this 😊
Thank you so much! I can find myself in your thoughts! ❤
thats so nice to know 😊
You are lucky to have someone to share your boredom with....
Your dessert looks great 😋
Thank you... once in a while I enjoy having solitude but the company of loved ones is a cherished moment 😊
So peaceful to watch 😊
I'm glad you think so, thanks for watching 😊
It's so important to cherish your daily life! That makes up most of our days, so it's necessary to feel comfortable being with oneself and to care for one's own good. Very nice vlog, I'd love to see more of the positive selfcare!
Thank you, your words are spot on 😊
Another lovely vlog ❤ Dinner looked amazing .. and I to will make something citrus and bright for dessert in the winter 😊
Sounds great! 😊
What a relaxing video! 😍😍😍 Loved it!!! ❤
Glad you liked it! 😊
I enjoy your videos. May i suggest that in burning any candles other than beeswax which actually clean the air, you are breathing in particulates that go deep into the lungs. It is also much cheaper making your own.
Thank you for your thoughtful suggestion. I completely agree with you.. conventional candles made of paraffin wax are potentially harmful. Stearin is said to be less evil since it's derived from vegetable oils. As someone who enjoys burning candles I try to stick to using "healthier" ones. The one I used in the video is actually made of soy wax 😉
@@CherylUpNorth Soy emits harmful particulates as well….only beeswax clean the air andhas no harmful particulates…
Beautiful video.
Hello from Italy.🎉
Thanks for visiting 👋🏼 😊
Hi Cheryl, I love these days where we can dream. Thank you for this delicious video 😊 and have a nice Sunday. I am going to cook for my son and husband.
Sounds like a great plan.. I wish you a wonderful time with your family 😊
Hi Cheryl. Very nice and interesting video. There were times in my life when I felt guilty for boring days and thought that time was passing by, unused, but now I have come to terms with these moments of boredom and as you said it is a good opportunity to rest the soul and body. When I'm bored, I like to dream and plan the future, so my mind feels more creative. The dinner and dessert you prepared look magnificent!!!! I liked your thumbnail 👌🌷🤍
Hi Chrysa, I think there's such a negative connotation about boredom that we think it's a waste of time and serves no purpose. After all, it's the opposite of busy and productive. I believe in moderation, boredom can work on our advantage more than we realise it 😉
I just love your videos. Thanks for sharing looking forward to the next one ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Glad you like them! thanks for being here 😊
❤❤❤❤ merci pour cette jolie vidéo

Your teacup and saucer are so beautiful! Where are they from?
It's made by a German brand ASA Selection but I got mine from a local department store. They have an online shop but I believe they only ship within European Union.
😍😍😍😍❤
😊
Lovely 🤍
Thanks 😊
Beautiful video as always. Can I ask the name of the book you were reading please?
Hi, I was reading Destination Simple: Everyday Rituals for a Slower Life 😊
@@CherylUpNorth thank you. I'm always looking for new slow and intentional books to read.
