Easter in the Countryside: A Slow, Faith-Filled Celebration of Family, Food & Tradition

Easter in the Countryside: A Slow, Faith-Filled Celebration of Family, Food & Tradition



There’s something incredibly special about Easter in the countryside. It's not just about spring flowers blooming or the longer, lighter days—it’s about slowing down, spending time with family, honoring traditions, and remembering the true meaning behind this sacred time.

For me, Easter is first and foremost about faith and the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It’s a time of reflection, gratitude, and connection—both with God and with my loved ones. We celebrate it the way my family always has: slowly, intentionally, and surrounded by love.

The Life List: What’s Better— Book or Movie?

The Life List: What’s Better— Book or Movie?





If you are on the entertainment and movie side of the Internet, then you’ve probably heard about the new Netflix romantic comedy movie The Life List. When I first heard about this movie coming to Netflix in March, I knew that the title rang a bell. I immediately went to watch the trailer, and I knew the story was familiar—as a few years ago, I actually read the book this movie was based on. 

This was actually one of my favourite books. It wasn’t gaining a lot of popularity on BookTube or Bookstagram a few years ago, so I never really expected it to be turned into a movie. I was so excited to see if the movie would exceed my expectations. So here is a spoiler-free movie review from someone who actually read the book as well.

How to Start Embracing Slow Living (Even If You’re Always Busy)


A gentle guide for people looking to slow down without a complete lifestyle overhaul.

In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and constantly on the go. Between work, social media, and all of life’s responsibilities, slowing down can seem like an impossible luxury. But what if I told you that slow living doesn’t require a complete lifestyle overhaul? You don’t need to quit your job, move to a remote village, or change your entire life. Instead, slow living is about making small, intentional choices that bring peace, mindfulness, and balance to your everyday life.

For me, the journey to slow living began after moving from the tranquil countryside to a bustling city for university. I quickly noticed how much I missed the peaceful routines I grew up with, and how they nourished both my mind and body. After finishing university, I decided to move back home and commit to filling my days with mindful, slow living practices — even in the midst of a busy life.

If you’re looking to bring a bit more calm into your routine, here’s how you can start embracing slow living, even if you’re always busy.
