About
Slow living, peaceful routines, and the art of everyday calm.
Hi, I’m Julie.
I was born in Paris and now call Pasadena, California home. Life looks a little different here than it did growing up in France but the values I carry with me are the same. Slow mornings. Simple rituals. A good cup of tea that deserves to be savored.
Growing up in Paris gave me an appreciation for the art of everyday life. The way French culture finds beauty in the ordinary, takes time to sit with a meal, and treats rest as something earned and savored. I carry that with me here in California, even when life moves faster than I’d like.
Hello Peaceful Mind is the space I created to slow down and share what I’ve learned along the way. It’s about building a life that feels intentional. Not perfect, not curated, but genuinely calm.
I’m a mom balancing a full-time job, motherhood, and the quiet work of finding myself again. This blog is part of that journey. It’s where I come to breathe, reflect, and remember that a peaceful life isn’t something you arrive at. It’s something you choose, one small ritual at a time.
What You’ll Find Here
This blog is rooted in the belief that small daily rituals have the power to transform how we feel. I write about:

- Wellness rituals morning routines, skincare, movement, and rest

- Mindful home creating a calm, peaceful environment wherever you are
A Little More About Me
I live in a first-floor apartment in Pasadena. No garden, limited light, but plenty of cozy corners and a life full of love. I shoot everything on my Fujifilm X-T30 II with in-camera recipes inspired by soft, cool, film tones that remind me a little of Paris in winter. I believe you don’t need a perfect home or a perfect life to live beautifully.
When I’m not writing or spending time with my little one, you’ll find me making a slow pot of tea, rearranging a bookshelf, or searching for the perfect quiet morning playlist.
