Here's my weekend routine of a slow living lifestyle. It's a great way to end and start the week. #slowliving #lifestyle

I never had a word to name what my everyday life looked like. I just knew I liked simplifying my life and enjoying the little things. Turns out there was a name for it and it’s called “slow living” or “hygge.” I wouldn’t say I live a perfect slow living lifestyle but I do like to incorporate elements of it into my daily activities.

And I do believe it has contributed to being content with what I have (and with what I don’t have). Especially after cutting off excess baggage from previous relationships and hardships, and even things in my closet.

Here’s what I like to do in the weekend to live a slower-paced lifestyle. It’s a great way to take a step back from the grind of life. And I hope it inspires you to take a step back and slow things down too. ♥ Here’s my day in the life of slow living, hygge, or whatever you want to call it.

My Mom’s Moist Banana Bread Recipe (featured in video)

Ingredients

  • 4 to 5 very ripe bananas
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • a little less than 3/4 cup of room temperature butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tbsp almond extract
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 /4 teaspoon banana extract
  • 2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
  • Optional: 3/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F or 175°C.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the bananas.
  3. Mix in the brown sugar, white sugar, butter, eggs, almond extract, vanilla extract, and banana extract.
  4. Add all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking soda, and cinnamon powder.
  5. Fold in the mixture, make sure not to overmix it so the banana bread will stay soft. It’s okay if there are still lumps.
  6. Fold in chopped walnuts or pecans.
  7. Grease a 26″ bundt pan or 2 loaf pans with butter.
  8. Add batter to your pan/s of choice.
  9. Bake for 50-60 minutes.
  10. Enjoy your banana bread! It’s really good with a side of tea. I also like to eat mine with pumpkin spread and plum schnapps ?
