Morning Rituals: Start Slow and Stay Present
Kick off your day with a peaceful morning routine. Embrace the quiet of the early hours by sipping coffee or herbal tea in your garden or balcony.

Create a Colorful Summer Table: Setting the Perfect Ambiance
A vibrant and inviting summer table setting can elevate any summer meal, turning it into an unforgettable experience. Whether you’re hosting a summer lunch, a sunset dinner, or just want to add a touch of color to your everyday dining, here are some tips for creating the perfect colorful summer table:
1. Play with Bold Colors
Summer is the season to embrace bold, bright hues. Think vibrant yellows, oranges, turquoise blues, and lush greens. Mix and match colorful plates, napkins, and glassware to create a lively, energetic table setting.
2. Add Fresh Florals and Greenery
Fresh flowers are the essence of summer. Incorporate seasonal blooms like sunflowers, daisies, and peonies in a centerpiece to add a natural and fragrant touch. Complement the flowers with sprigs of fresh herbs like basil, mint, or rosemary for a fresh aroma that enhances the summer dining experience.
3. Embrace Natural Textures
To balance the bold colors, incorporate natural elements like woven placemats, bamboo cutlery, and linen napkins. These textures create a laid-back, rustic feel that’s perfect for slow summer living.
4. Don’t Forget Lighting
As the sun sets, soft lighting can transform your summer table into a cozy retreat. String lights, lanterns, or candles create a warm glow that encourages lingering conversations and relaxation.
5. Personalized Touches
Add a personal touch to your table with handmade place cards, colorful napkin rings, or even small gifts like mini succulents for your guests to take home. These thoughtful details make your summer gatherings even more memorable.
Creating a colorful summer table is about bringing the vibrancy of the season to your meals. Let your creativity flow, and don’t be afraid to mix and match colors and textures to create a truly unique summer dining experience.
