the fresh spring air drifts through the open window, the linen curtains ever so slightly blowing. the morning sun is casting a golden ray about the kitchen, warm & inviting, as the scent of the newly bloomed hyacinths mixes with the sweet smell of blueberry pancakes. taking a deep inhale of breath, you feel at ease — a peaceful bliss washing over you, something you’ve never felt before — when you hear it.
the soft song playing from the kitchen — the dreamy notes of la vie en rose reaches your ears as you walk toward the sound.
standing in the kitchen mixing pancake batter illuminated in the golden sunlight — you see her.
she turns to look at you with that smile — the one that makes it feel as though a thousand monarch butterflies were let loose in your stomach — the sunlight creating a halo of warmth & happiness around her as she holds her hand out towards you.
your hand in hers — the perfect fit — she dances with you in your kitchen. twirling around with you while humming along to la vie en rose. a peaceful warmth spreads throughout your body as your smile matches hers. she pulls you in closer as you rest your head on her shoulder — eyes closed, you know your home will always be her.
The soft sound of ‘happiness is a butterfly’ drifts from my phone, gently pulling me out of my slumber. With a light stretch, i reach over to turn it off and see that it’s 5am. Wish to snuggle down into my fluffy pink blanket, I instead pull back the blanket and get out of bed.
One of my 2023 goals was to get back to get back on my pink pilates princess routine as that’s when I feel my best. So lately I’ve been waking at 5am and today is no different.
Leaving the warmth of my bedroom, i make my way to the bathroom. Hearing a tiny meow on my way, I stop to bend down and pet my adorable little cat. While in the bathroom I do the usual morning things like brushing my teeth and washing my face, however I don’t do my full skincare routine yet as I will being doing my pilates routine first. Tying my butterfly layered hair into a claw clip, I change into my workout clothing and leave the bathroom to go full my water bottle.
Grabbing my baby pink yoga mat as well as my ankle & wrist weights, I am now ready for my pilates routine.
For my routine I like to first start out with a stretching video to warm up my body and prepare it for my workout. Following my warm up, I then go into my hour long pilates session before finishing off my workout with a twenty minute hiit session and then a cooldown stretch.
I’m always left feeling so positive and rejuvenated after every pilates session. Almost as if a fog has been lifted from my head.
Once i’m finished my workout, I hop in the shower allowing the hot water to sooth my muscles. The shower after a pilates session always feels amazing. After getting dressed for the day, I brew myself either a tea or coffee depending what i’m in the mood for that morning and i finish off my skincare routine. Lately i’ve been really focused on moisturizing my face and have found a few new favorite products.

With my workout routine finished and my skincare done, I make myself a healthy vegan breakfast smoothie and drink it while I work from home. After all of my important tasks are out of the way, I then start editing some of the content i’ve been creating lately.
My fluffy cat in my lap, today I am editing a few affirmation videos as well as blog graphics at my dreamy pink desk. I’ve really been enjoying making them as they’ve been helping me stay in a positive mindset!
A few hours later, I step away from working on my computer and ipad for a break. During my break I usually like to go on a walk and take in the scenery of the nature. Unfortunately being that it is winter and it’s freezing outside, I instead choose growwithjo step video. That way i still feel like i’m getting a walk in to get my step goal. It does after all get a bit tedious sitting at a desk most of the day.
Finishing the steps video, I make a slightly later lunch of a fresh grilled chicken salad with a small amount of my favorite light dressing. Refilling my water bottle, i sit at the wooden dining table and eat my delicious lunch. While eating I sometimes like to continue my reading.
Opening up my kindle app, I click open my current read. ‘The Revenge Plot’ by Sienna Waters is her newest sapphic romance novel to drop this month. Those are my absolute favorite type of book and i’m forever only reading those kind.
When i’m finished with my lunch and reading, I put on a show for background noise as I finish up more work. Lately I’ve been back on my degrassi binge so as I work I can hear Clare dramatically going off on Eli at The Dot in the background.

Finally finishing up the work I had to do for the day, I then begins any cleaning that must be done around the house. Lighting a sandalwood incense stick to cleanse out the energy after cleaning, I then decide on dinner as well as feed my cat his dinner.
With him meowing loudly for dinner despite getting treats and having a massive bowl of dry food all day, he finally quiets down to eat. Though I know the second I sit down with my own dinner he will be meowing and begging because he believes he should have at least three dinners per day. Cats are cute fuzzy drama queens.
Deciding on mushroom and spinach raviolis for dinner, I begin making it. When it is finished, I also pour myself a glass of my favorite moscato and set the table to eat.
Just like I predicted, my cat is there meowing and trying to be as cute as possible so he can try to get more food out of me.
⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚˚ ༘♡ ⋆｡˚˚୨୧⋆｡˚ ⋆
Finishing up with dinner and the dishes, I now have free time for the rest of the night. This time is usually spent talking with my friends to have a vent/tea session or catching up on a show I may have missed. This is also usually the time when I tend to eat my nightly gummy.
Before it kicks in, I start my nighttime skincare routine which is a little bit longer than my daytime one as I sometimes like to do a peel or sheet mask.
Taking the sheet mask off my face after the fifteen minutes and gently patting the rest into my face, I then use my rose quartz roller before getting dressed for bed.
Applying my lip oil and grabbing my favorite pair of headphones, I take myself back to bed to listen to 8d music until the gummy causes me to sleep.
A day in the life of a pink pilates princess is complete.
My favorite part of a new year is feeling as though it’s a fresh slate, especially for getting into new routines. One of my goals for this year is to get back to my pink pilates princess routine (as that’s when I feel my best) and to work on my mindset. To help me with this, I made a lovely pink pilates princess subliminal full of the most positive affirmations!

As I’ve said in my last post, the start of the new year is bringing about a slight new era on La vie en Rose Diaries! With the fresh start of 2023, I’ve decided to make a few subliminals. Personally I’ve always loved using these videos to aid in my manifestations and feeling more positive so why not make my own?
This subliminal is a dark feminine era glow up combo! It has plenty of layered affirmations for a complete femme fatale upgrade.
The dreamy scent of rose petals mixes with the burning sandalwood incense to create a witchy atmosphere. Rain pattering lightly against the skylight and fresh brewed green tea in front of me, it’s a peaceful afternoon.
hello my loves!
With the fresh start of a new year I’ve been refreshed with many ideas and while I cannot wait to share them all, I wanted to start off 2023 with a little post about one of my favorite things: crystals!
I absolutely adore collecting many different types of crystals and using them in my daily life. Today however, I’m going to share some of my favorite beginner crystals for anyone who may wish to start collecting them knows where to start!
☽ clear quartz – used for healing, clarity, and cleansing. Clear quartz amplifies & restores energies. This quartz can also be used in place of any crystal in spellwork. Perfect for the crown chakra!
☽ amethyst – used for protection, intuition, and healing. Amethyst helps create spiritual protection against negative energy — this is a fave for those of us with anxiety! Can be used for the third eye chakra.
☽ citrine – used for happiness, creativity, and abundance. Citrine is the crystal to use to aid in manifestations and achieving goals. Can be used for both the sacral & solar plexus chakras.
☽ rose quartz – used for self love, caring, and romance. Rose quartz promotes self love and confidence while also attracting love and ridding insecurities. Perfect to use for the heart chakra!
☽ aquamarine – used for calming, courage, and cleansing. Aquamarine is also used to aid with panic attacks and reducing stress as well as help with letting go. Have a blocked throat chakra? Try meditating with an aquamarine crystal!
☽ amazonite – used for balance, soothing, and truth. Amazonite is the perfect crystal to help you see an issue from other perspectives to seek the truth. It’s also great for luck & success! Can be used for both the heart & throat chakras.
☽ sodalite – used for logic, intuition, and clarity. Sodalite is amazing for bringing emotional balance to sooth panic attacks & encourages rational thought. Used for the throat & third eye chakras.
☽ aventurine – used for luck, creativity, and prosperity. Aventurine is said to be the luckiest of all crystals aiding in attracting wealth and luck. It also help in releasing bad habits. Perfect for the heart chakra!
☽ tiger’s eye – used for focus, protection, and grounding. Tiger’s eye helps with remaining grounded as well as helping will power. Perfect for the root chakra!
Happy Mean Girls day, loves! In honor of it being October 3rd, I made a few girly spooky season wallpapers that are sized for the new iOS 16 lock screens ♡
hocus pocus plays quietly as background noise while i type away at my blogtober posts. with my soft pumpkin blanket across my lap & a fresh cup of london fog tea on my desk, i feel cozy and peaceful.

hello my witchy babes ☽
With the first day of october comes the first day of my Witchy Babe Autumn blogtober posts!
Sticking to a simple & cozy vibe for the first day, i’ve decided to share my favorite cozy things about spooky season!
I hope each cozy thing gives you a comforting feeling that feels as though i’m wrapping you up in a warm knit blanket while pumpkin bread bakes in the oven; the scent traveling all around you.
Orange lights twinkle as ‘The Nightmare before Christmas’ plays on the tv. The smell of sweet cinnamon and pumpkin drift from the kitchen, making the whole house smell like a cozy fall evening.
hello loves ♡
With the final day of September here and October starting tomorrow, I wanted to announce that I’m doing my own version of blogtober: Witchy Babe Autumn. I have many spooky season themed posts planned including some new content like tarot pick a piles!
But before that starts, I wanted to share some of my favorite pink pilates princess essentials! As you already know from my morning routine, I’ve been into the pink pilates princess lifestyle. Recently I’ve updated my pilates routine as well as grabbed some of the cutest new pink essentials!
These have been some of my favorite items for pilates, but I do have a top few favorites. Personally I don’t like wearing sneakers during yoga & pilates, so the ballet tie grip socks are perfect. Plus they’re so cute!
The Bala wrist & ankle weights also make it to my top five. The 1lb weights are perfect for slowly adding weights to your pilates routine!
Number three on the top five is the fabric resistance bands. I’ve used rubber ones in the past, but they always kept bunching up midway through my workout. So I decided to switch to fabric. Plus the colors are cute!
My next top essential is the matcha latte mix. I love enjoying an iced matcha latte after my morning pilates and I use this mix to make them at home! I make a really good match rose latte with it — I’ll share the recipe after blogtober!
Finally, my last top five essential is The Ordinary’s niacinamide because skincare is an important step in a pink pilates princess lifestyle! This has been a fave for three years now.
While I have my top five, I can definitely say I love and recommend them all!
Rain patters lightly against the skylight as ‘Season of the Witch’ plays softly in the background. The dry, woodsy smell of the burning incense sticks drift through the air and meets the smell of freshly brewed maple coffee; it’s the perfect first day of autumn. ♡
hello witchy babes!
Happy first day of autumn and the official start to spooky season! I have many enchanting & magical posts planned out for the season that I’m so excited to work on, but today I wanted to share a cute little witchy post teaching you how to make a dreamy self love spell jar. I just adore making spell jars and one of my favorite types of spell works always has to do with self love!
Hope you loves enjoy and make one for yourselves!
What you need:
♡ seashells ♡ a piece of paper for self affirmations
♡ rose & hibiscus petals ♡ rose quartz & clear quartz pieces
♡ lavender ♡ pink string & a pink candle
First start by cleansing your space and your items with your chosen incense — rose would be perfect to set the energy for this spell jar!
On a small piece of paper write out some self love affirmations; the affirmations you choose are completely up to you. Roll up the tiny paper as if it’s a mini scroll — feel free to tie it with some pink string for added cuteness!
Now it’s time to start adding in our items! The order of how you layer them is up to you, however I like to layer them like this: the hibiscus petals, rose quartz pieces, lavender, rose petals, clear quartz pieces, and then the seashells before adding in my self love affirmations scroll.
Once the jar is complete, seal it with pink candle wax [pink candles are used in self love spells ♡] and tie it with a pink string.
With the jar completed, say the self love spell and thank the universe & aphrodite and that’s all there is to it! ♡
Self Love Spell
i am love. i am enough. i am beautiful. i love myself & will continue to love myself every day with all my heart. i accept myself fully. i treat myself with the kindness, respect, compassion, and love i deserve. I am free to exist as me. i will continue to love myself every day no matter how hard it seems. I am so grateful to the universe& aphrodite for giving me the strength to love myself.
The smell of cinnamon pumpkin donuts drifts from the candle by my desk and twirls around the room; leaving it with a cozy autumn feel. The light, witchy music playing softly from my phone is the only sound in the room.
hello again my friends!
With rain pattering softly at the window and the humid summer air changing into a slight chill, autumn is slowly making her way toward us. Pumpkin flavored coffees and halloween decor are also making their arrivals, putting me in the perfect spooky feeling! With a new season approaching, I wanted to share my newest spooky season playlist.
