„Whimyfying“ your life has been such a trend lately. And while you know that I’m definitely a big advocate for romanticizing your life and finding joy and appreciation in small moments, landfillmaxxing just can’t be the solution to that. „Whimsy“ to me means endorsing everyday objects and activities with romantic meaning and therefore connecting with your body and mind. I made and episode a few weeks back about neuroaestethic, the science of how we process beauty and how it can actually help us regulate our nervous system. So „whimsyfying“ can actually help you heal your body and mind via finding connection, rest and gratitude in daily life. So, instead of sticking plastic gemstones to everything in sight, here are 10 habits that actually helped me slow down and enjoy my life more.

It’s officially September! The summer of 2026 was legendary, so we’re looking to have a just as great, or even better, fall! The weather is still nice, there’s the occasional rain and the leaves are starting to get crunchy. You know what that means; it’s time to get out the cute candles, blankets and pumpkin spice syrup. Fall really is my favorite season and I really enjoy romanticizing it so much, but at the same time, the beginning of a new season can often feel dreadful because your expectations for it are so high and you don’t want to disappoint them. So if you’re feeling the same or are just looking to elevate your fall this season, here’s my fall guide 2026!

Beauty is something superficial, right? A purely personal preference without any real use? Of course the girl who color codes her notes in class with pretty highlighters and all her extensive stationary is just being extra, right? It won’t help her study. Well, actually, not really. While an aesthetic is a personal preference, it is also a whole body experience that scientifically seen, has a lot of influence on your emotions, motivation and calmness. When perceived something beautiful, dopamine is released, triggering your reward system. That means that you can - from a solely efficiency-oriented standpoint- hack your brain to crave studying, Running, working out even just feeling happier and less stressed, simply by making your life aestethic. May sound weird to some, too good to be true to some others and some may have already felt the positive impact of „romanticizing their life“ without knowing the psychology and neurology behind it.
