This week we wanted to keep things short and sweet after our personal stories about finding our fleek. We hope that you enjoyed them! If you haven’t yet the previous blogs this mini-series, check them out here!

So my story of finding my fleek, or my slow living journey, started more gradually. I do not ever remember a specific pivotal moment that I can look back on and say that this was when it all happened. To not sound too cringy, my slow-living journey has always been slow and steady.

I moved abroad when I was 20. I’ve always been ambitious and when I started working for a well-known tour operator it was no different. I loved the job, always wanting to excel, and I did.

Good morning our lovely fleekers and HAPPY FRIDAY!

 It’s Emma here, co-founder of Fleek Reteats and I’m going to be bringing you this weeks’ Find Your Fleek Friday blog. Since we launched on the 28^th February, we have released a slow-living blog on our website every week.

First we eat, then we do everything else.

As I have emphasized before, in Italy, your day revolves around food. This is probably true for many other cultures, but I can only speak from my experience.

So hear me out. This is the exception to our mantra. This is when slow-living actually does mean doing things slowly, or rather, taking longer to do something. I present to you: Slow Fitness.

They are all super thinkers.

Ok, I might be pushing it a bit the last one...

The second heatwave has decided to hit Europe this summer, and we are all feeling the heat. When you imagine Italy in the summer, images of clear blue seasides, lakes, rolling hills in Tuscany, gelato, and of course expresso. Now, I can assure you that my morning Java is the only way I want to start my morning. It is an integral part of my morning ritual and routine.
