IMPORTANT MESSAGE🎀

Hello girlies,

After a lot of thought and prayer, I’ve decided to shift my channel’s focus from ambiance videos to something more personal—vlogs! While I’ve loved creating cozy, aesthetic spaces for you, I feel called to share more of my life and journey with you all.

There have been some challenges with my channel, but I don’t want to give up completely. As of now, my existing ambiance videos will stay up for you to enjoy while studying or relaxing, but I won’t be creating new ones. Instead, I’m stepping into a new season of sharing my real life—motherhood, faith, homemaking, and finding myself again.
To help you get to know me better, here are a few things about me:

✨ I’m a Christ follower (hopefully, you could tell from my ambiance videos!)
✨ I’ve been married for 4 years and with my husband for nearly 6 years
✨ I’m a mommy to a beautiful baby girl who is 15 months
✨ I’m 28 and a Texas girly
✨ We’re moving into our third apartment, and I’m SO excited to decorate it!
✨ We’re working on building a family compound (still searching for land!)
✨ I love to read but haven’t done much since becoming a mom
✨ I’m learning to do my own nails because nail salons give me anxiety 😂

This transition is bittersweet and I have cherished this channel and community that we have built, but I’m so excited to embrace this new chapter. So with that, I’m saying goodbye to Princess Cafe and hello to just me—a mom learning to find herself again. 💕

I hope you’ll stick around for this journey! 🥰


Love,
Nicole 🎀☁️

If you could live anywhere, where would it be? 🏡✨

For me, I need a little bit of everything! Right now, my family and I are planning to start a family compound and dive into homesteading. My grandma is an amazing farmer, and I can't wait to learn from her. That means I'll be far from any city or suburb—but on the bright side, I'll be closer to the beach! 🌊

The downside? Let’s just say it’s consistently ranked among the top 5 worst beaches in the U.S. (any guesses? 👀😂). But honestly, I’m just excited to be near family again! 💖

Where would your dream home be? Let’s chat in the comments! ⬇️🏡

Wouldn't you just love to live in a pink penthouse overlooking the city? 🌃 I wish I could go back and forth between country life and city life... but for now, the suburbs will have to do. 😉 What kind of area do you live in? Check out my latest video to help you relax this evening as you unwind. 🌙

Hey girlies! ✨💖

Just checking in—how are you all doing? How’s your week/weekend going? I’d love to hear your highs and lows!

High for me: I bought tickets to take my baby girl to see Bluey next week! 🩵🧡
Low for me: Honestly, I don’t think I have one this week—just feeling extra tired no matter how much coffee or V8 energy I drink. 😅☕️

I took a little break from posting because there was an issue with my channel, but everything is sorted now! My views aren't doing too well which is a little disheartening, but that’s okay—it’s all in God’s hands. 🩷

Hope you all have a beautiful weekend! Love you! 🥰💫

Let’s take a moment to name three things God has done for us recently! 🙌✨ I’ll go first:

1. Our beautiful daughter started walking! 🥹💕
2. He led me to start this channel, and it’s growing so fast!🎀👑
3. Paid off my car early—such a blessing! 🚗💨

I could go on and on—God is so good! Now it’s your turn! What are three things He’s done for you lately? Let’s celebrate His goodness together! 💕

What’s the first thing you do in the morning?🎀 Do you stretch, read your Bible, check your phone, get ready for the day, or maybe call a loved one?

I’ve noticed that my mornings set the tone for my entire day. When I reach for my phone first, I end up feeling groggy and unmotivated. But when I start my day by reading my Bible, I feel refreshed, grounded, and ready to take on whatever comes my way.

I don’t always have the energy for a super productive morning, but when I do, it makes such a difference—I feel unstoppable! ✨

What does your morning routine look like? Let’s chat in the comments!"

Hello Girlies! 💕 I hope your day is going well!
Some days, I struggle to prioritize my skincare and getting myself ready—it seems so small, but God wants us to take care of ourselves. Our bodies are temples, and caring for ourselves is a beautiful way to honor Him.
This year, I’m making self-care a priority, and as I do, I want to spend that time in prayer and reflection—talking to God like a father and a friend. He is my best friend.
This upcoming week, I challenge you to prioritize both—spending time with God and taking care of yourself. How do you like to show yourself some love? Let me know! 💖✨ Love you all and I want you to know that I am praying for each and every one of you. Please, don't feel shy to comment. I would love to hear from you all! <3
