Simple Living | A Slow Winter Morning Routine

💛 Thank you to all for your beautiful support of my channel so far, and please do consider subscribing for weekly slow living videos, it means the world.

Hello friends, I hope youre doing well...
This week I want to share with a glimpse into a morning routine I do during the winter months...and although my routine during the rest of the year can be quite similar, in the colder months I like to take just a bit more extra time and go slower.
I really hope you enjoy watching this and that it also inspires you to perhaps slow down and take some time for you...
All my love,
Lika. xx

-SOS Serum Sunscreen:

-Vegan, Cruelty free moisturiser:

-Sloe Berry Syrup: makes approx. 700ml

~ 1kg fresh sloe berries
~ juice of 1 lemon
~ granulated sugar

1.Wash all the sloe berries and put them in a large pan with about 500ml water. Bring to the boil and then simmer until the berries are soft.

2.Tip the berries into a fine sieve or a cheesecloth and set this over a bowl for the mixture to drip through. Leave this for about 4h or even overnight if you can, but do not press or squeeze the berries.

3.When the juice has finished dripping through, add the lemon juice. Measure the amount of liquid you have altogether and now return to the pan. For every 100ml of juice you have, add 90g of sugar to the pan. Bring the mixture slowly to a boil and then let it simmer to dissolve the sugar fully. Skim off any scum from the top while its cooking and add more sugar if you feel you need to. Once all sugar has been dissolved, remove from the heat.

4.Pour the mixture through a funnel into a clean, sterile jar or container and seal. Keep this in the fridge and use within a month or two. Alternatively, you can pour this into plastic containers and freeze for later use.

Another lovely video, thank you. It’s so nice to find other people who enjoy the simpler things in life….life is to be loved, not rushed. X

Beautiful video! I enjoy slower mornings as well, and being able to cook a nice breakfast for my daughter. As an owner of a vegan skincare line, I love hearing a little about your routine 🥰.
The raspberry porridge looks delicious!
I hope you've had a lovely day!

This was a lovely video to watch after spending the better part of the day getting orders packed, writing thank you letters and organising everything ready for tomorrow. I live rurally with my daughter and once a week we travel to a town that has amenities and do everything we need to. I do enjoy packing orders but it's a lot of work. We also run a sanctuary so looking after the animals is important. We're both night owls so generally stay up all night, then feed some animals in the early morning, then it's bed at about 4-5am, then get up at about 11am. It's not like this every night but most nights. Running the sanctuary during the day and then making items for our Etsy and Depop stores. I light the quiet of the night. It's just so lovely✨

Oh my goodness, your raspberry porridge looks amazing 😊. I usually start my day with porridge & blueberries! My morning routine is slow too - especially in the spring & summer, when I take a mug of tea out into the garden, sometimes as early as 5 am! It’s my favourite part of the day.

Love the serenity of your channel, Lika ^_^ It inspires me to get off my bum and start my channel too as I've been trying to over the last many years :)
