Boheme Journal is my commitment to promoting self-care and mindfulness as essential components of soft life.
The term “soft life” originated in the Nigerian influencer community as slang for living a life of comfort and low stress.
Initially, I hesitated to align the term “Soft life” because, after a recent quick scroll through social media, it appeared to me that many were associating an extravagant lifestyle with being “soft”. The appearance of “Having it all”- yachts, fancy vacations, designer clothes- can be a pleasure of life. It’s barely definitive of the core of “Soft life”. Then I found this article, which reaffirmed my initial attraction to the movement Why you're probably using 'soft life' wrong.
Soft life evokes an air of a bohemian lifestyle. The Boheme is someone guided by the wild creative spirit to manifest personal freedom. The essence of freedom lies within the power of choice. Here we explore the elements of a Soft and boheme life that will enhance our choices to affirm our desired lifestyle.
I sought a soft way of living my entire life while growing up in NYC, as an undergrad, while a flight attendant, as an international solo backpacker, and as a Massage Therapist. Soft life is my north star. The desire to work hard has always been instilled in me however I carved space to actually enjoy my efforts. I've learned to prioritize my well-being, cultivate daily rituals that nourish my mind and body, and celebrate the beauty of self-love. It has become my go-to resource for guidance on creating a sanctuary within my home, surrounding myself with cozy comforts, and infusing every aspect of my life with intention and joy.
