When quick fixes fail, and instant gratification doesn’t feel fulfilling anymore, what do you do? It's time to return to a slower pace and the seasonal rhythm of life.
After 10 years of raising two children, building a business, and learning to live at a slower pace, I've discovered that slow living isn't a trend or a pretty aesthetic. It's a return to a more natural rhythm, where rest, family, and work can coexist without draining us.
Slow living helped me build a life I truly love. I didn't get rich, famous, or perfect, but I learned to appreciate what I already had instead of chasing a fantasy version of my life. I deeply believe you can do the same.
Slow Living for Modern Women offers practical, down-to-earth guidance to help you build a calmer, more intentional life without losing yourself to constant hurry and consumerism.
I hope this book will be a guide and a friend throughout your journey, Adriana x

I’m only halfway through reading Slow Living for Modern Women. I’m 72 and rather unwell, and to be honest a lot of it doesn’t apply to me, but the general state of mind definitely does. I find it hard not being well enough to do everything I used to be able to do, so it’s nice to be reminded to enjoy life in the slow lane. Adriana has researched her subject very thoroughly, and I keep thinking, as I read, what a wise young woman she is.

I have really enjoyed reading Adriana's book. It is so well written, informative and inspiring. Although I already live a fairly slow lifestyle It opened my eyes to my growing phone scrolling habit and how it's affecting me! I think everyone could learn something from this book that would improve their quality of life.

I love Adriana’s blog and her YouTube videos, so was very much looking forward to receiving her book. I haven’t had chance to read it yet (oh the irony!) but the quick flick through tells me that, when I do get chance to sit down and read it, I will no doubt enjoy it very much.

The book is very lovely, I plan to order three more for my daughter and two daughter-in-laws. I want them to discover slower living at a younger age than I.

I’m absolutely loving this book! I was going to wait until I finished reading it to write a review, but, no need, it is already amazing and completely speaking to me and helping me in so many ways. Thank you so much Adriana for sharing this very special book with us all! ☺️

Loved the book. Very helpful and informative as well as practical. I live in Haddington the county town of East Lothian aka The Bread basket of Scotland surrounded by beautiful countryside. As I get older I’m very in tune with the seasons and I have a cottage garden. Gardening is my therapy.
Look forward to your next book. Xx

I’m really enjoying your wonderful book. There are lots of points that resonate with my own life that help me feel I’m moving in the right direction to achieve my own pace of slow living.
Susan H.5/5Verified
What wonderful read. Every single word in this book by Adriana has been written with incite, passion and love for a slow living life. Slow living is not about sitting on the sofa all day watching TV. Far from it. It's removing all the unwanted clutter out of our lives, homes and minds which Adriana explains beautifully. One to keep to refer back to with her words ringing so true. If you are wanting to get the hell out of the fast lane and back onto the quiet country roads.....you must get this book❤️

I knew this was going to be wonderful and it is! Highly recommend.

Adriana and her YouTube channel completely changed the way I look at life. I also live in England, and thanks to her, I started seeing it with fresh eyes and truly made it my home for life. I began exploring beautiful places, joined the National Trust, and discovered so much beauty in everyday surroundings. I stopped chasing trends and found joy in a slower, simpler way of living. I also started developing my passion for creating perfumes, which I hope might one day grow into a small business. This book is the perfect continuation of my slow living journey. I highly recommend it to anyone who feels exhausted by the constant pressure to keep performing and always doing more.
Thank you, Adriana, for writing this beautiful book. It came into my life at exactly the right time.

Well written and thought provoking. Really pushed me to consider my lifestyle and whether my day-to-day choices reflect the way I want my life to be. Would recommend!
Ellie M.4/5Verified
A very thought provoking book. Absolutely loved it. Have already read it twice - it is so good.
Beverly D.5/5Verified
Only just started reading it before I go to bed. It’s very realistic but at the same time shows you that you can slow down, appreciate what you have, don’t compare yourself to others, live your life and don’t keep chasing wanting more
Lyn P.5/5Verified
Fantastic book. Really puts life in perspective. I have found it very grounding and a much needed gentle reminder of what is important in life. Nature truly is the best medicine for life!! Xx
Looking forward to your next book! X

Inspiring book.
Maryness S.5/5Verified
I just finished reading it yesterday. I really enjoyed it and have already noticed it is having an impact.
Beth G.5/5Verified
Ordered the book as soon as it came out. Impressed with quality and content. Different to other slow living books, which tell you to buy things. This gives you advice how to achieve slow living in authentic ways. Great book. Not surprised though given the quality of the youtube channel, newsletter and candles.

I love this book! I believe it is the most wonderful self-help book I have ever read. I’ve watched countless ‘Five Tips for Slow Living’ videos on YouTube, but this book goes far beyond those surface-level suggestions like ‘take a walk in nature’. It discusses the mental shift that leads to slow living and how to actually make time to live slowly. It also has loads of practical advice for people who live and work in the real world!
I’ve tried living slowly for a few years now, but never felt the benefits. My mind was still buzzing with stress and anxiety. Now, at last, I think I understand the deeper concept, the difference between the online aesthetic and the real lifestyle. It probably helped that this is a book rather than a video. It meant that I could read it at my own pace, re-read sections and dwell on them.
As for the book itself, get the physical copy if you can. It has creamy paper and a lovely finish on the cover, not plastic feeling like most self-published books. Care has obviously gone into every aspect of it, as you’d expect!
I’m sure this is a book I’ll read again many times.

Book looks lovely but haven’t had chance to read it as yet. Should be a great read.
Judith B.5/5Verified
You have done well Adrianna , it is a lovely relaxing read that transports me back to my younger days with my Grandma , everything then was so simplistic and calming not the rat race that we have been living in of late ...... I'm now chilling again taking everything in my stride . I'm looking forward to a follow up " thank you " 😊.
PS maybe a book on your diet secrets please as mine is failing miserably !.
Vanda H.5/5Verified
Absolutely beautifully written book. Really enjoyed reading it. In this busy world we all live in it's nice to take a moment a look what is around us all and enjoy the beauty of nature and the people in our lives. Every moment is precious what we have . So make the most of it and treasure it.
