Found in a vintage Edwardian physics and health book from 1908, these Twelve Healthy Rules for Everyday Living are still so applicable today that we wanted to share them here in our journal. We love that these "health rules" are simple and easily applicable and accessible for anyone regardless of social standing which is quite wonderful. Nowadays it seems like to live a healthy lifestyle, one must purchase expensive equipment and stock up on dozens costly vitamins and supplements when really so much about healthy living is making conscious decisions about your thoughts, the food you consume (balance is a good thing),...

Oh goodness where has the time gone? It's already March?! As a team, we reflected on our love languages for the month of February and discussed what our love languages were and how they affect not only those we are in relationships with, whether romantically or platonically, but also how do we show up for ourselves. For those who don’t know, there are five primary love languages; Words of Affirmation, Acts of Service, Quality Time, Giving Gifts, and Physical Touch. While it is important to know your loved ones primary love language, it is also just as important to know your...

We're so excited to share that our new "Lifestyle" department here at Adored Vintage is getting a lot of new additions soon in the Self Care  (beauty and bath) department. All of the gals and I here at Adored Vintage love taking baths and believe it is one of the simple little pleasures of life that one should reward ones self especially after a long and stressful week... and I think collectively we can all agree that we've had many of those this year! Look for the new self care and wellness department to be updated soon with bath essentials, soaps,...

There is that specific week between Christmas and New Year Day when I don't know what day it is, the date, and I'm not keenly aware of the time. All I know is time is both passing quickly by and yet seemingly not passing at all.  This is the week where I spend many hours reflecting on the year that was. I think through each season, relive memories, recount the days and the lessons learned from mistakes. I think of the people I've crossed paths with, some just once, but it made an impact on my life.  I think of...

I am finding lately that the definition of self care for me personally means so much more than just exercising, eating well, and drinking enough water. I've found it also means taking the time to live the little things and pursue small moments of beauty because I am able to.  At the office this week I was setting up a flat lay of vintage inspired lingerie pieces and it hit me that I no longer bought myself pretty little things to lounge around at home in or took the time to have a leisurely long coffee in the morning and...

Joyeux Septembre! We hope this little post finds you well. As you'll see, it's a bit different from our usual newsletter. Every now and then, we like to take a step back from the whole selling part of shopkeeping and focus on the reason why we started this at all: to inspire the imagination and sense of femininity that we are all capable for, even if for a moment. We hope you can take such a moment to grab yourself a cup of tea or coffee and settle in for our first edition of the AV Gazette! Oh, and do give...

"There isn't a perfect person somewhere, only a more perfect person we might become, and there isn't a paradise someone can lead us to unless it's the world we make ourselves..." - Shain, Merle. (1988). Courage My Love, Bantam. When I thought about starting the "Life Adored Project, 1,000 Simple Ways to Live Beautifully", I knew a big part of what I wanted to focus on was self care and self love.  As a small business owner I am very use to wearing multiple hats at once and often jumping from one to-do list to another and running 100 miles per...

Do a quick search on Pinterest for "Morning Coffee Quotes" and you'll across many things like: "Today's motivation provided by coffee." "My morning coffee makes me feel like I got my shit together. I don't, but it makes me feel like it." "I woke up like this. And by "this" I mean exhausted and in desperate need of coffee." Which I find all funny and well, because who doesn't love to blame their morning irksomeness on lack of caffeine?!  I love coffee. I adore it. I love it as much as Lorelie and Rory Gilmore. Ok, maybe not as much. But...
