I have that kitchen wallpaper.
Of I want to use a tallow product for my face can i skip the cocoa bitter or use something else? I tend to be pily. I usually only use rosehip pil on my face.
@@heatherparks4251 hi there! I have heard people subbing out the cocoa butter for Shea butter and even mango butter although I have not tried this myself. I wouldn’t leave it out altogether since it will affect the texture and likely be heavier so whipping might not work. Hope this helps. Good luck to you!
New subscriber. Love your channel.
@@kateglastic9826 welcome!! I am so glad you do 😊
Love this so much ❤
I'm Italian and even though you're video is amazing, Bella figura is exactly what it means in English, just make a good impression. I've never heard of the other meaning you talked about in the video. In Italy we are obsessed about all the other people might think of our stuff, if our home is not properly clean when somebody comes for a visit (there's a joke about "E Se viene qualcuno?" that means if somebody comes - uninvited -) if our clothes are not perfectly steamed and so on. So our Bella figura is about being perfect for the others, not for the sake of being in peace with the world, trust me 😂😂😂😂
@@XSallyCinnamonX hello and thank you! The author lives in Florence and is married to an Italian. Perhaps this is more of a Florentine thing in its interpretation? I am not sure of course but it’s what I do in my life and I wouldn’t say it was for the sake of being at peace with the world but more because I want life to feel and be beautiful anyway I can. The book just gave it a name :)
@@aquaintlife yes it is possibile. In Italy we have different dialects and different meaning for the same words. The Problem is there's a misconception about "Italian way of life", like we live a slow life and enjoy the beautiful things. Simply is not. Some people do, of course but it's not an Italian prerogative, most of the Italians live chaotic lives and don't care about slow living and "beutification", which I love, by the way, that's why I'm here ❤️ it is not something against you, it's just you're not the first cc I've seen thinking about Italians like that, I just want to make a point as a person has living in Italy for 43 years now 😅😅❤️
@@XSallyCinnamonX I understand for sure. Any country you visit there will be different lifestyles. Just the same here. Not many live the way I do in my area either. I think that’s why I feel so drawn to the slow country side living and friendly people. When we were in Rome it felt much busier and more city like. It was beautiful but I prefer the relaxed feeling I got from Tuscany and that’s where we are headed back to for longer stays. I can’t wait to be back in your beautiful country ❤️. It’s so good to hear from you and I appreciate your insight. Thank you for being here 😊
@@aquaintlife same here! I live in a beautiful region, with the highest mountains of the Appennino and the sea all together in the same view. I live in the countryside and I cannot live anywhere else
@@XSallyCinnamonX what a beautiful scene to look at every day ❤️
You are absolutely lovely
Absolutely 😮😊
I absolutely loved this video!! I just came across your channel for the first time. I was amazed. I really connect with it. I always felt that the “European “ lifestyle and slow pace was what I always tried to implement in my life here in Chicago. Please keep this style going. I subscribed and looking forward to more content. Thank you! 💕
@@stamatiamcgrath7992 oh I am so glad you liked it! Welcome to my channel and thank you for subscribing! I will definitely keep this style going 😊❤️
thank you
I love the smell of fresh herbs! All that you made with the herbs looks so delicious! I plan on having my first greenhouse next year and getting herbs and flowers that are edible for teas and meals and veggies etc. I have not made herb butter but I certainly want to:) Thanks for the video!
Hello Roxanna & Paris! I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video. I am from England and would love to travel to so many different locations in our beautiful world. Thank you both so much for sharing your trip with us, and also for your inspirational advice on how everyone can embrace a flavour of Italy in our lives and outlooks.
Hello Caroline! I am so glad you enjoyed the video.❤️
Glorious🎉
Great🎉
Fantastic yes I too have read the book and it’s wonderful and so too are the recipes. Everything about the Italian life, love, fashion food architecture relationships is fantastic. Your KZread video has prompted me to read it again and take note.
Its such a great one to read over and over. I read it 3 times in a row I loved it so much.❤️
I loved this. I needed this reminder. Thank you! ❤
Great video!! This looks so easy to make and I love yogurt:) You could put fruit or whatever you like in your yogurt. Good for the gut and improves digestion. Thanks Roxanna!
It is so easy to make and so good for us!! I have been having mine each morning with fruit and granola and raw honey. Delicious! I hope you enjoy making it :)
Love this. Beautiful video ❤.
Thank you!
Absolutely loved this video. Appreciated it so much. Thank you. Reminding us to slow down and enjoy life and not to rush through, to savour life and our daily experiences and loved ones.
Loved this video. I've always (as an adult) lived like this. Not because I've chose it, it's just the way I am. I don't have a car so I walk pretty much everywhere I go that's nearby or take the bus if I need to. Enjoying the small things in life everyday. A coffee out in the sun after work, eat my meals outside in the summertime, going for a walk to see the sunset and the beautiful colors in the sky. Just talking time to enjoy and living in the moment instead of rushing from one thing to another.
@@MissSeaworld8 ❤️❤️❤️
Wonderful video!
Everything looks amazing and Marty is such a cutie 🥰.
How lovely. As always great video.
Love, Love, LOVE this video, Roxanna! I feel like I live a very simple life, but there are things I still struggle with.....like doing "nothing"! I equate doing nothing with being lazy, and that's definitely not the case! I will continue to work on that! Have a wonderful weekend and week ahead!
@@loriholland6431oh my goodness, that was exactly what would flash through my head when I first started doing it. “This is lazy” and it took me a while to get over that feeling. I hope you try it because it’s really not and very freeing. Have a great week and weekend too 😊
That was lovely, so inspiring…thank you.
Just beautiful.
Hello , Roxanna. Thank you for another beautiful, thoughtful video. It was exactly what I needed today: a reminder that we can make life beautiful by how we choose to live. x
Hello Annemarie! Glad it resonated with you ❤️
I like how you mentioned using things until they no longer work. I'm 23 years old so i'm right at the target age for a lot of advertisements. This past week i finally wore out my converse to the point where they were falling apart. I replaced them with a new pair of shoes and happy to find that i feel excited with the new purchase instead of guilty. You are right about the good feelings that you get by being responsible and using an item until the end of its life.
@@mads8835exactly! Thats so great! 😊
Love your videos ♥️ do you happen to have a link to your scalloped bowls? They are beautiful!
@@jhamilton200328 thank you so much! On the bowls, I don’t. I found them at an antique store.
This is a one-word video.... awesome! I love the calmness you bring to my life. Thank you, Paris & Roxanna.
@@basketlady2601 😊❤️
Excellent!!!! Thank you so much!
I am so glad you enjoyed it. Thank you so much for watching!
Roxanna you have captured my hear today. I’ve always dreamed of going to Italia as a matter a fact our house in the mountains goes up for sale next week and my guy said after his stem cell transplant when he is given the okay we will go to Italy I’m praying that we will have the opportunity to do that together. I’m so stocked about this video. Volare o o o o ……… my favorite artist is Andrea Boccelli and has been for decades, my doctor born and raised in Italy and only talks to me in Italian. He just got back from a 3 week vacation with his wife. ❤❤❤❤🙋🏻♀️🤗🤗🤗🤗👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
@@susanvelez6534 oh I hope you both get to go! You will love it. And I love Boccelli!! He sings so beautifully and sometimes I have it on in the house ❤️
Hi Roxanna, Thank You to both You and Paris, for sharing another Absolutely Wonderful video with us. 🙂 Roxanna, this video is Beautiful, Peaceful, and the points that you shared, are Beautiful in their Simplicity, and I Love them. ❤ Thank You again Sweetheart, and here's to... living a life filled with more Gratitude, living at a slower pace, while savoring a more simpler lifestyle. Lord willing, until next time. 🙏🏾 Love In Christ, Paula
Hello Paula.I love that- A life filled with more gratitude a slower pace while savoring a simple lifestyle ❤️❤️
@@aquaintlife 🙂
Great video! Beauty in aging is so true:) Inner beauty comes out and we see it in ourselves as we interact with others! Me and my husband just looked at where we can go drink coffee yesterday nearby and we think such outings are useful. We both got off of Facebook and I have never missed it! I find enjoyment in everyday life:) Thanks for the video.
@@charmainescarborough5646 oh that’s so cute. Going to have coffee together. I hope you find a great little spot. Fb, I don’t miss it at all either!
@@aquaintlife Thank you Roxanna! We were looking into doing things that we enjoy doing together like drinking coffee and conversing😀 I really enjoy You tube so much as I like watching creative channels on doing a variety of things in your life. FB was just stealing my time from my life and I found freedom without it. Have a great week! Thanks for your videos😃
I get multiple lesions in my pits from sea salt and baking soda
Its terrible on the skin! I hope this works for you :)
Wonderful video!! I love that book and have re-read it often. I need to get better at sprucing up my table setting when I eat alone. My kids are either in college or grown and flown, so I’m not setting a large table anymore. But I tend to make my lunch and just eat it while watching something for a break. Thanks!!❤
@@MichelleL22 yes I do get that. I like watching something myself. But every once in a while when you’re eating something you really enjoy, try it. My quiet time with my morning yogurt is when I love this most.and thank you!! I am so glad you enjoyed it ❤️
Your videos are getting better and better. This one really spoke to me- thank you for the beautiful inspiration!
@@amynau3904 I am so glad it did. And thank you!! 😊
Beautiful! Went back and re-read your post you had listed…and all I can say is AMEN!!!❤
I just watch your video love love it simple and slow living is something I have just allowed myself to learn because I never new I was allowed to enjoy my surroundings always rushing somewhere I just recently stopped working and I am 62 this summer and I am so enjoying friends and family but most inportly my home and taking better care of me..I will be going to Italy for 11days in September the trip of life time for me and I hope to just learn a simple and more meaning full life.i plan on getting that book at my library and leaving the last 20 pages for the plane ride thank you and your beautiful daughter for doing such meaning full videos to KZread ❤
@@barbaramatarazzo4269 that’s wonderful! That is the perfect book for your plane ride! You are going to have a wonderful time. September is a great time to go ❤️ ✈️
Thank you! Just what I was looking for! Might I add that the music is a bit loud. It's competing with your great information.
@@MsBeachLizard thank you for the feedback! I hope you enjoy the eye cream 😊
Brings back memories, I used to love watching classic movies with my mom 💕
What a sweet memory ❤️
And the dressing looks fantastic. I will be making this for sure.
Very peaceful video great calming way to start a beautiful day.
Another great video my friend. Great tips to live our beat life in the middle of this extreme heat. Keeping things simple at times is key. Wishing you and amazing week. Looking forward to your next video.
Wonderful video bringing back some old traditions is fantastic. Thanks for sharing the tips. Look forward to watching your next video.
The other day I put some flowering purple oregano in a mason jar near my kitchen sink. Really pleased my eyes, and so simple!
@@paintergrl12 beautiful!! I love herbs in a jar ❤️
Amen!❤
Great reminders! Thanks for sharing! You have such a beautiful smile and genuine and sweet energy! I love that! My husband and I started focusing more on having children so we have adjusted our budget to be a bit more strict. We still get a little spending money but we use majority of the money to pay bills, pay off debt and build a savings. For me, thinking about starting a family and bringing my children into a mostly financially secure environment helps as a great reminder or my "why" when i get stuck in those tough moments where i feel tempted to buy buy buy. Seeing things at stores and online, it really does leave you feeling like youre missing out or like you could be judged for having old or used things while others have these nice new things. I wish it wasnt like that. I want to see things i could buy and appreciate their beauty but still feel secure in myself and what i have. Ive gotten stronger and said no to myself way more often recently compared to my past. Ive also pursued more thrifting in hopes of reducing some of my waste and spending less for some nicer brands i had been looking at. Its a journey! But i can see im getting stronger overtime.
@@The.Journey.to.Freedom that’s amazing. I am so happy for you and wish you all the best with your goals and thank you so much for your kind words ❤️❤️
