So what's next?

As you’ve probably guessed by now

I won’t be selling vintage & handmade homewares any more under the Milk & Wood brand. Sadly, for various reasons, it just wasn’t feasible.

Instead, I’m excited to share a broader look at my life and adventures here in Switzerland including travel, wellness, fashion & interiors, learning and friendships.

Selling thought about, carefully curated curiously creative homewares was always a window into a lifestyle brand.

And a similar ethos will resonate in the account now.

I want to continue to seek out the unusual, travel & visit to find precious gems, remain curious about life & forge meaningful and supportive relationships.

And do it all with an authentic style as well as bringing you a grounded, thought about feel and a good dose of adventure to help us feel alive.

I’m also re-invigorating my journalism career and starting to write a blog you can find on the Milk & Wood website - lots of pieces in progress, promise!

From my Gen X, midlife perspective, as well as the viewpoint a move to Switzerland has given me, I’m focusing on ditching the achievement and tick box mentality that has defined a lot of my life so far and living life with an eye to what brings me vitality and energy.

There’s a lot of life to live and enjoy and it would be great to experience it together

What brings you vitality and energy? Inspire me!

Plot twist…..

It’s been a while and I’m now coming to you from Switzerland - Zurich to be more precise!

My life has changed so much since the last time I posted and it’s only recently I’ve had the energy, time and head space to think about what I want from life again.

After three years of soaking up Swiss life, I (that's me, Ruth 🙂), have finally decided to put all my passions into the pot and stir. Not quite sure what the recipe will bring yet, but I’d love to have you along for the journey!

I wanted to welcome you back to Milk & Wood and share a new vision for my tiny corner of the internet.

As a journalist, entrepreneur and coach, I've spent a lot of time exploring and writing about what makes us tick and consequently what makes us happy and fulfilled.

But life changes, your body changes, your capacity changes and your identity outgrows the structure you’re in. What was once satisfying might no longer be that way….

So now, with Milk & Wood, I'd like to bring you a blend of 'grounded living meets inspired adventure.'

I’ll be looking at designing a beautiful midlife but also at practical tips for feeling good right now, paired with inspiration for that next big (or small) leap.

It could be navigating new cities (hello, quick Florence trips!) and travel around Europe and afar, finding style that feels authentic to you, continuous learning that keeps our brains buzzing and nourishing our friendships and genuine connections.

I’m so excited to start this new chapter and would love you to stick around so we can travel together.

What does 'inspired adventure' look like to you? Let me know below! 👇
