moving to Sweden - self care in times of change

- I can't believe I finally reached Sweden, it's been a long journey to get here.
I decided to live in a nordic country for a while, escaping this climate of folly we are all experiencing these days.
My new life in this cute Swedish cottage is way beyond the expectations I had for this big move. Every day a bit more, I find myself a little closer to my soul. Deeper into the wild.
The past months have been so crazy and full... I literally feel wiped out these days. I really wanted to share this self care routine with you all, and I'm truly hoping it will invite you on taking care of your beautiful, - probably winter drained - soul.
Sending you all a plethora of love and light ♡

"Money doesn't buy you happiness, but it does allow you to give it away". You are wise beyond your years and your videos are exquisitely beautiful.
Wow, THANK YOU.
The ability for sharing your narrative with the cinematography is a rare gift. Thank you for blessing us with your beautiful soul. Sending love and respect from Australia.
Wow, thank you! ♥️

I love candles too, the simple glow of a candle it's so easy and gentle on our eyes the way they happily dance and flicker they are so excited to light our lives. Thank you for such living art.
Your words are SO BEAUTIFUL! You are a gifted writer my friend ♡
I'm cold but not lonely. I'm grateful for a warm family. What lovely comments for a lovely person scrolling down.
I never did finish this video. I was having a bad day today. I drank some beer last night. It had been several years since I stopped. I didn’t drink that much but it made me sick and ruined my sleep. I watched this video this evening and I have to say it made me feel better. Your voice is very soothing. 🐕🐕🚴
Your voice, the way you speak...i think thats what draws me to your channel.
you are very strong girl.
After listening to you, I feel like listening to you all day and night...
Looks like love's got the Knowledge
I will wait for your next vedio
CZcams is also a wonderful thing.. Good people meet by luck
you are really an angel
You won't believe me but I have a really one sweet fairy..
The one who lives like a light in the sky and when it passes,
When it pass by, i just get peace in my heart.
You are the princess of paradise
your words are very sweet
If I say more then you might feel bad
Good night .....🌠
You are so kind Syed, thank you so much for your eternal support ♡
🌲✨🕯️Welcome to Sweden 🕯️✨🌲 I hope you are enjoying the landscape and found your inner peace. Your videos always calms a stressed soul , hope you are doing well and found your place to feal home .🕯️✨
You have filled an emptiness I wasn't even aware of. Where I am you should know I will be dreaming of you. I found you just last night. I have so much more to learn about you.
Thank you thank you.
It's an honour to count you among this tribe Wayne. I feel so much kindness from your being, you are needed here. And out there too ♡
There's something about you Vanille, I can't put it in words, but I feel it every time. It feels like coming home ♥️ I also find your videos very professional. The (snapshot) images, the editing, the montage, the music.., in combination with your mesmerizing presence and voice. It's magic to me. Are you doing all of that yourself? Or are you having a professional camera man or woman and editor there with you?
Ohh!! Rene! Really, you leave me speechless once more. How can one be such a kind being?! Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
Haha!! You made me laugh! I wish I had someone to hold the camera sometimes 😂 I'm doing everything by myself, and am still learning each day how to get better at filming and editing! I'm sending much light on your path ♡
Thank you Rene for asking her this question, I never knew how to ask and how to get the answer😍 she is so special❤ Vanille❤
@@random_shi11 Thanks Banaz.. I believe we all recognize ourselves in the way Vanille presents herself in her videos. She has indeed a rare gift of presenting her inner journey to us all 🙂
@Rene So very true, dear 😌
@@random_shi11 Now that I read your reply Banaz, the feeling flows in me that my words were not really accurate, and should've been something like: "I believe that we recognize, or feel, our Oneness, in the way Vanille presents herself in her videos." And this connects in me, to why I said in my initial reaction to Vanille, "It feels like coming home." And who knows, maybe this goes even deeper than that, and it connects us to prenatal experiences.. Or even to previous lives. I'd love to learn more about that, if possible.
That last comment made my heart cry! 💕
Very Inspiring !!! 👏👏👏
Thank you ! 🤗💞💞💞💞
Merci beaucoup !!! 💕💕💕🌻🌻🌻
You and your videos are food for the soul ❤
I just discovered you and immediately subscribed. I really love your channel. Your message was so sweet at the end 🥹
How happy I am to have found your Channel. Your gorgeous videos do good to my Soul! Thank you!❤️
I love your Videos so much. Thank you very much 🙏🏼
Hope you still enjoying Sweden. And find rest for soul and body and spirit. Yes, food is lovely. I become chef. The quiet life. I had missed so much until I discovered it. I love to just be and also to create. I feel this is truly the unique impetus of being human, our creations, ability to create. Thanks so much. I feel convinced even more of seeing you here how much I stumbled upon a gem. In you and your videos and how I also discovered the quiet life as I discovered to call it. I also recently discovered to sleep on futon mattresses on floor. Don't need much space. Either. Heals your back. Don't need mattresses, frames - so many things we think we need. We think so... where did we learn it?
You make my heart smile ♡
Luv the vids, wishing you abundance! Sending positive vibes..
Thank you so much!
I just love her!
I have just found this chanel and I love it, your doing what I always wanted to do.
I'm so happy you find resonance in my videos Stephen. Never give up ♡
@@VerdantVanille ❤
Your voice is like velvet, your words smooth as sick, your stories, a magical transcendence into a world of tranquility, flying free in wonder and amazement.
This is such a peaceful and effortless video, to escape the rigors of the world and enter into a dream world filled with joy and total freedom of the spirit.
What a beautiful treasure you are! Thank you for giving my spirit flight! 💙😊
Thank YOU, Mike. For being here and for being who you are. ♡
Simple amazing and oh so inspiring! You are brilliant in your videos and your voice over is very calming and graceful. I have been binging on your videos since I found you last week. Greeting from the Pacific Northwest in the US!
Oh Catherine!! You cannot imagine how joyous I am to read your words! My heart is full to know you could find some peace and inspiration through my journey and videos.
I am honored to count you among this wise community. You have a big heart Catherine, thank you for opening it up ♥️
Hi there😀, thank you for sharing your thoughts. Life can be unpredictable and will throw us all a curve just when we thought things were aligning themselves. It brings mixed emotions like being in a roller coaster ride? When we recognize life is learning about ourselves and others & growing from it. In time we heal from it's wounds if we allow it to take its course. I have been down this road myself. Along the way I've found a way to exert my inner self by artistic means applied to my interest & like you madame, indulged into comfort foods made by me😁. Life is what we make out of it from what it offer. I get it & somehow i see the same for you! As i am now magnetized by your channel & continue to follow your journey 🙄😦👏👍!
Ohh wow, Buck!
I am de-ligh-ted to have such a brilliant human digging my videos. Gratitude, in massive amounts 🙏
I can totally relate to each of your words, especially the roller coaster mention haha.
I would LOVE to know more about you and your practices to exert your deeper self.
Also, to know your favorite comfort food. 😶🌫️
Merci mille fois Buck, you made my heart a wee fuller, again. 🤍
thank you so much--i am watching this again--how peaceful and naturally beautiful--i feel the same way----deatra
You make me smile Deatra, THANK YOU ♡
Hi 👋🏻 and welcome to Sweden 🇸🇪 Your friend Ruben
Rubeeeennnn!!!!!! Thank you so much, I finally got on your beloved Swedish land 🙂
I can’t believe I found a way back to you! Instagram has deleted my account, I have a new one now: verdant.vanille
I tried to find your username but I just could not remember it! Anyway, send me a text over there and we’ll talk soon, take care! ♥️
Such wonderful video, great food selection, what a fantastic description of the house. Writing is good for the mind. Thank you for sharing this with us, stay safe and may your health continue to improve. From Henrico County Virginia
Thank you so much Norm, you are such a kind soul ♡
What is the desert you made at the beginning of this video? I grew up with it, too, loved it, but I've never made it myself. I grew up in Romania. It's so amazing how this video of yours popped up on my CZcams feed as I am going through a tough day. Thanks SO MUCH for all the beautiful videos you create, for your honesty, beautiful words, and just for sharing your thoughts and life with the world. I watched your video yesterday about why you stopped being a vegetarian and, OMG, it finally clicked why I was feeling so physically run down for the last year after being a vegetarian for more than 20 years. I'm really hoping that eating fish will help me get my brain and energy back!
Ohh! Really? It's called " Iles flottantes " in French!
Monica, I am so happy ton inspire you and your beautiful heart ♡
thank you
Please don't stop believing in yourself and doing what you love! Hopefully, the comments to your videos show you how amazing people think you are, how much you mean to them, and how much people love your videos. Stay strong, dear soul!
Your words touch my heart Monica. Thank you deeply, beautiful soul ♡
Why not watching your videos it's so good girl don't worry I love it and you.
You are an old soul Poet
Me smiling big time ♡
@@VerdantVanille I looked for a woman like you 45 years ago ,,,to bad I am now 65 ,,Love the spirit within ,follow your gut ,and you shall meet many a sunny day in your heart ,you are a Special Type of Woman, mountain men dream of building a life for, I speak from my heart ,Vous ete special
@@richardkorejwo6398 Same for me Richard. I found a woman like this and it was the happiest time of my life. Unfortunately I was not able to overcome my conditioning and heal enough to keep a relationship together. Most of my life is behind me now and it seems I'm destined to be alone. It's a lonely life, this one. I wish you well.
Hi i hv just found this channel and after seeing a few videos right from the start.
Then i came across this line about the new format. That has kind of lit a feeling of confusion. What was the old format????
Was there more to this beautiful, heartwarming story that is not shared here?
Can someone help pls. I will be able to understand this journey more clearly.
Because with this present content i am constantly yearning to learn more about the past if it was shown.
Vanille the backing music is so beautiful and perfectly matches the wonderful scenery you thoughtfully film.
I found your channel over an hour ago and enjoy it and your introspective narration for each video. It seems you live "semi off grid"? and you left Portugal for Sweden? Best Wishes 😊
Ohh! Thank you for the compliments, I truly appreciate it! I’m not living off grid anymore, I spent a few months in Sweden but am now in France!
I wish you the best wherever you end up settling!
Thank you to 😊
Awesome content ❤️
Thank you so much ♡
when life was feeling tough i quit my big city job and everything and moved from central EU to northern Norway past the Arctic Circle for a few months. Best time of my life. I'm coming back in a few months, the nordics are heaven on earth. Life is slow and everyone's friendly. Dreaming of buying something small on Lofoten, possibly renovate it. Live my life to the fullest and continue being happy. And film a lot.
Keep me posted on your adventures, it will be so amazing! ♡
@@VerdantVanillewould you (or anyone) follow it? I'd be honored!
I LOVE that quote by Anais Nin, it's one of my all time favorites. Have you read much Mary Oliver, Rainer Rilke, or Jane Hirschfield? Would love to learn more about your book tastes!
No I haven't actually! My current read is from Mark Woollyn - It didn't start with you. Blind blowing book about inherited traumas and how it can shape who we are. You would LOVE it! ♡
@@VerdantVanille wow thats cool! I just finished his book recently! its amazing, right? Would you like to discuss it over zoom or something? I dont know how many people you have to discuss things with since you live a pretty solitary life. You seem like a soul sister though
peaceful
Amazing i want to experience that with my husband
I really wish you to experience the beauty of Scandinavia! Thank you for your comment!
Same!!
Oh i want to come there...i was in Oslo just one year ago and also saw beautiful Sweden...lured by a man who said we could go live in the forest but then had no real means. So i left last November...but Scandinavia has my heart! im trying to figure out how to come back...
The call for the North, we both know it by heart Vonda ♡
I love you.
My Beloved
Be well
Thank you Jenny ♡
I so like your '' modern cooking ''
Haha! Modern? Where do you live Lay?
@@VerdantVanille I '' , I '' , I live in , innn '' . . . . . . , ha , ha ,
Nice by candlelight 🕯🕯🕯🕯
Record player and fridge, how is that possible? I though off-grid meant no electricity?
In this same video, I say that I would never be able to do all these things if I still were living off grid.
Beautiful video and inspiring to me :) I have emailed you a few days ago of my adventures, i see you have been busy as well !
Merci BEAUCOUP Jason, I indeed have been really busy creating in this new amazing environment! I will open your email on the weekend, I just can’t wait to read you! Take big care of your beautiful self ♥️
One day...I'll be able to do this alone and away from everything else in life. Just for a few weeks.
Yes! You will! And it will be incredible! ♡
The World needs more Women like this.
Ohhh thank you Edward ♥️
Money does not buy happiness but it can give you independence to chose a more worth while life .
Vtáčie mlieko - we call it here. My grandma used to make it
ohhh!!!! Isn't it so comforting? haha
Drawn, Pulled, Connected perhaps?
Passion and dreams, are the relentless pursuit of what others believe unattainable.
Genius, is the fruition of one's passion and dreams.
L'esprit est difficile à maîtriser lorsque le coeur a ses raisons.
Alors dans l'éventualité, soyez raisonnable.
Any significance that you usually film yourself running away from the camera rather than towards the camera?
Funny you asking this! I actually just realized in my last filming how I unconsciously always do that 😂
I’m from Sweden. Where are you born?
France! :)
Do you believe in Faith?
I believe in a wonderful universe made of energy. ♡
Why do you always light a candle even outside, this I do not understand, is there any purpose for that?
Claude
To your last comment, it's like being with you and I like it, take care!
hahaha!! Because I’m addicted to candles. To me, lighting a candle is like lighting a flame within my heart. Just so a small light can shine no matter the darkness. In the sky or in the heart.
@@VerdantVanille I love candles too. They provide a warming and reassuring presence. A candle is a small flame, fire, one of the essential elements. It represents the hearth.....the home. In the word "hearth" is heart. And home is where the heart is ;) ❤
🇵🇷👍😳🙏🏻✌️
This is so fake!!
That’s what a thought 💭
Thank goodness someone else had the balls to say it out loud!
Better quality then a movie set 🤣😂😜😝
Way too much 'posing'!
What is fake? Is a human life "fake"? Explain yourself if your just going to throw a bunch of negativity out there.
All of your videos seem like copies of thecottagefairy.
Let me stay open minded here… Paola is someone I admire dearly. Her work and persona inspire me at a deep level, it’s true.
But please rest assured, that I respect her way too much to “ copy “ her. My first videos were probably infused with the love I have for her filmmaking I can’t deny that! Don’t we all need to get our knowledge somewhere?! Like when we share something we learnt in a book. But today my videos are very far from what she creates. I mean, you surely just overlooked my videos to say such things. It makes me feel sorry you felt this way, you must love her very much.
Anyways, I feel a little hurt but I’m trying to accept your criticism. I’m learning.
@@VerdantVanille There are those who wish, either consciously or unconsciously, to dim our light. Do not allow this. I feel the authenticity in what you share and you are helping people just by being your beautiful authentic self. We are all here to support each other on the journey. Know that you are supported by many. Aho 💗
you cant stop change, everything you say is from you developed persona, it is not very good as it works as the ego which is like carrying a mind virus
