MIDLIFE BY DESIGN: CURATING YOUR NEXT CHAPTER
Seasonal living is a mindful approach to aligning your lifestyle with the natural rhythms of the year. Each season offers unique opportunities to refresh routines, celebrate traditions, and care for your mind and body. In Spring, focus on renewal by decluttering your home and introducing fresh, seasonal produce into your meals. Summer invites adventure, exploring outdoor activities and soaking in the sunshine for a vitamin D boost. Autumn is a time for reflection and cosy comforts; embrace warm colours, hearty soups, and journaling to express gratitude. Winter encourages rest and introspection, prioritise self-care rituals, cosy up with a book, and enjoy nourishing stews. By living seasonally, you’ll cultivate a deeper connection to nature and your inner self.

Autumn has arrived in full force, cooler air, golden light, shadows stretching, trees letting go. There’s wisdom in how nature slows, sheds, and readies itself for rest. For us in midlife, October can be a powerful invitation: to pause, reflect, and align with deeper truths. READ MORE…
There’s something about autumn mornings that feels like a gentle invitation. The air is crisp and cool, the trees are dressed in golden light, and the world seems to whisper: slow down, take notice, breathe. For much of my life, mornings were anything but intentional. READ MORE…
Summer, it’s not you – it’s me. We’ve had fun, truly. Long days, light clothes, that golden evening glow. We’ve made memories. But as the light begins to shift and the days grow shorter, I feel the quiet call of someone who knows me better. READ MORE…
There’s something about Autumn that calls me inward. Not in a dramatic way, but gently, persistently. Like a whisper at the edge of a morning walk, or the hush that falls just after the leaves begin to turn. This season doesn’t rush. It doesn’t ask READ MORE…
There’s something deeply comforting about preparing for Autumn. It’s not about overhauling everything or reinventing the wheel; it’s about gently transitioning into a slower, more intentional rhythm.
