Vianca Soleil is the personification of slow living. Leaving behind her fast-paced life in Dubai, Vianca relocated to remote Puro Island in the Philippines to open her eco-resort ‘Unna’. Visually reminiscent of a time gone by, Puro Island is uniquely untouched, geographically tucked away from modern civilization, and a place that fosters a simple, intentional way of living. Like General Sleep, Vianca works closely with local craftspeople to create her nature-focused resort, Unna.
There is a cologne I have worn for 4 years that makes me feel warm. I first smelt it on a man I met when I was 18. We have spent many days together and he’s someone I have a special connection with. He wore this cologne everyday, so now I wear it everyday as well. It reminds me of late night cuddles in bed, resting my head on his shoulders or behind held by him with my face on his chest.
Laughter affects me immediately and shines a light into any dark corner or experience. Hugging my soft children....
I'm going through a bit of a textile phase, and have acquired a few family quilts for our beds and James' cot. I love the stories attached to each of these, I even have Matt's baby quilt that his Grandmother made him.
... when he is gentle it is not a slack soft gentle; it is gentle down to the muscle down to the bone, a kindness held very carefully, and it is so rare, maybe just a few seconds in the dark before he falls asleep, and I don’t want to miss it.
There is time spent fondly observing my garden, working in my garden, napping in my garden and just overall being without much of any stimuli from technology.
My Husband is the only home comfort that I can’t be without. Other than that, I like to travel very light, but I’ll always bring my Susanne Kaufmann skincare and Le Labo perfume with me wherever I go.
I tend to experience quite vivid dreams and in the past have also had premonitions. So sometimes sleep can be a real portal for spiritual exchange..
l love early morning cuddles with the five us. Bed is definitely a loved place by all of us!
