spring diaries: realistic life, vintage shopping, self reflections (a very chatty vlog)

hiiiiii - this week’s vlog felt like such a gentle little reset. i spent the morning antique shopping for second-hand books and some cute home pieces — honestly my favourite way to waste time. somewhere between the old paperbacks and the wonky ceramics, a substack article hit me right in the feelings, so naturally… i ended up getting a bit chatty with you guys about it. the rest of the video is just me moving through my day-to-day life: a bit of housework, some grocery shopping, tidying, pottering around the apartment — nothing groundbreaking, but all the small things that make life feel soft. i’ve been finding a lot of comfort in these simple routines lately, and sharing them with you genuinely makes everything feel lighter. thank you for being here, always. anyways, i’ll see you all soon !! x Chapters: 00:00 Intro 00:15 antique shopping 00:34 vintage pickups 05:31 sunday evening date night 05:57 morning routine 07:18 very chatty self reflections 18:13 errands substack article mentioned: https://caitlynrichardson.substack.co...
