About me

2024, I found myself googling “self-care in midlife”. What I got? Supplements. Symptoms. A lot of noise around perimenopause. I was grateful that there is so much information around that phase in our life nowadays.

But what I really wanted was… a pause. A way to rediscover myself. A treat - because I deserved it.

So I started creating what I couldn’t find:
a small shop with curated gift boxes and little things with a focus on women in midlife - because we are done with shiny pink things.

That’s how The Slow Life began.
It’s still just me, a small shop, and a growing idea – but maybe it’s exactly what you’ve been looking for.
