There is something so quiet and contemplative about this feed from Anna Nycz, about whom (refreshingly) we know very little. Quite simply, it is a collection of beautifully captured moments of the sort that so many of us miss or take for granted.

Katrien is living her dream of cultivating a “slow, handmade life” in an old Italian farmhouse with three boys, a flock of Tingola sheep and the man that she loves, and it is rather lovely to witness.

Melanie Barnes shares her slow living rituals and well-being lessons, and aims to help others reclaim moments of calm in their day, too. Scrolling through her posts, the most striking thing, apart from the stunning photography, is how often Melanie takes time to disconnect from Instagram - as well as real life social pressures. A lesson there for us all.
