‘Ard de vivre’ - the French expression for “way of life” - stands for consciously enjoying and experiencing life in all its facets. Founded in 2013, this blogazine has always been a place where I share my thoughts, inspirations and passions around topics such as self-care, quality of life and personal growth. It is a space that not only invites you to slow down, but also to consciously reflect on your own values and goals.


What is Ard de vivre?


‘Ard de vivre’ is much more than just a blog. It is an invitation to experience yourself and life in all its depth. It is about joie de vivre, mindfulness and mindful togetherness and how all of this relates to our psyche and our mental well-being. Over the past few years, I have written about topics that are important to me and many of my readers - the value of self-care, the importance of mindfulness in everyday life, the search for inner balance, and how we can shape our lives with intuition and empathy.

Which topics does ‘Ard de vivre’ cover?


‘Ard de vivre’ is a colourful mix of diverse topics in the areas of mental health, self-development, spirituality and lifestyle. The main topics include:


  • Self-care and mindfulness: How can you make your everyday life more mindful and give yourself more attention and care?

  • Mental wellbeing and positive psychology: Tips, methods and thoughts to strengthen your mental wellbeing and steer your life in a positive direction.

  • Spirituality and intuition: As an Urban Hedge Witch (yep, you've read that correctly), I share my experiences with magical practices, closeness to nature and spirituality in modern life.

  • Slow living and feminist perspectives: Reflecting on a slow, conscious way of living that stays true to your values and empowers women to support each other.


The Story of Ard de vivre


In 2013, "Ard de vivre" began as a personal sanctuary—a space where I could reflect on my thoughts and share my insights with others. What started as a private project quickly grew into a vibrant exchange with an inspiring community of like-minded individuals.


For over five years, I ran "Ard de vivre" alongside my main career, collaborating with wonderful clients on a variety of exciting projects. This period was marked by creativity, collaboration, and personal growth—a phase that enriched me both professionally and personally.


In 2018, I found myself at a crossroads: Should I turn the blogazine into my full-time profession or take it in a different direction? Despite recently completing further training in online marketing, I realized that this world alone would not provide me with lasting fulfillment. In pursuit of personal freedom, I chose to take a new path: "Ard de vivre" evolved into a platform focused on information, inspiration, and learning—a place that combines everything close to my heart: holistic well-being.


Today, "Ard de vivre" is a space dedicated to sharing knowledge, opening up new perspectives, and fostering personal growth—a vibrant source of inspiration for anyone seeking balance and development.


New possibilities for interaction


The integration of Ard de vivre into Well-being Rebel opens doors to new opportunities for interaction. I look forward to connecting with you and other readers on a personal level.


This means that not only can you leave comments and share your thoughts, but you can also participate in polls and discussions that I will be running regularly on the blog. I want every reader to be an active part of this journey, and there will be plenty of room for your unique perspectives.


An outlook on the future of Ard de vivre

In future, ‘Ard de vivre’ will continue to grow and develop - always with the focus on offering you new perspectives and valuable inspiration for a fulfilling life. Plans include deeper insights into the topic of mental wellbeing and expanded content on the topics of mindfulness, urban hedge witchcraft and self-development. The combination of psychological and spiritual approaches will also continue to be a central component, as I firmly believe that both areas complement each other perfectly and contribute to a holistic way of life.


I am delighted that you are making ‘Ard de vivre’ part of your journey and invite you to be inspired by the upcoming articles. Together, we can set out on a journey to integrate more joie de vivre, mindfulness and self-care into our lives - in the spirit of the ‘art de vivre’.
