I know this is an older ish video but I just want to say how much your content has helped me 💖 I always find myself coming back to this little corner of the internet that you’ve created. Thank you for being you! 🐌🐛📚
Just returned from a vacation in the Keweenau Peninsula of Michigan, where I got several compliments on my "no rush" snail shirt. 😃 So happy to hear that you got to visit home *and* that your birthday falls on the same day as my younger daughter's. Libras for the win! Happy belated birthday, Ally, and thank-you, thank-you for this cozy vlog!! ❤
your videos make me feel sane and healthy. i have been going to bed every day at 5am and waking up at 2pm and falling behind on work blah blah but your videos never ever fail to comfort me no matter what :-)
Hi hello, hot mom here, we love you too. I recommend Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury! His descriptions really create the coziness. “A summer of green apple trees, mowed lawns and new sneakers. Of half-burnt firecrackers, of gathering dandelions, of grandma’s belly busting dinner.” Just beautiful!
skim! read it for my class and loved the full page spreads!! the art style is >> but yesss I also felt it was so surface level and could’ve dug sm deeper !!
you have no idea how much serotonin your dance parties give me!!! encourages me to have some of my own because it always looks like so much funnn! (including the panting because that's how you know it was a blast)
i’m sick with covid and just watching your dance party has already made my day better. thank you for being yourself, your videos are always so relaxing and heartwarming, i can’t wait to watch this one till the end but i had to comment right away 🧡🧡🧡
I watch your videos while I do my morning chores before work on Sundays and as I was watching one of your videos while making breakfast just now, I remembered today was Sunday and that I should be receiving a notification sooooon and then I looked up and it was 10:01am and you had posted a video one minute agoooo! Wooooo! 🥰 You are my comfort channel, and I can’t thank you enough. ☺️
Loved the video, as always, Alli! Happy belated birthday, I hope that you’re showered with blessings of health, happiness and success! Love you loads! ❤️
I found your channel recently and after watching countless videos, I now feel like we’re good friends! I live in Wisconsin and plan on manifesting meeting you in person next time you’re here visiting family :) Thank you for creating a cozy, comfy place for me to visit via RUclips for when my own seasonal depression and migraines hit, as well as for an every day pick me up.
Omg I just did a trip to Ghent and immediately recognized the beautiful buildings in your vlog and loved being temporarily transported back to that beautiful city 😻 happy belated birthday lovely & thank you for the always enjoyable & heartwarming vlog 🥰
yay i missed the vlogs!!! Loved the video and your editing just keeps getting better and better! You have influenced me to go hunt down a ghost mug from Flying Tiger before Halloween and put The Tea Dragon society on my TBR!
happy belated birthday lovely 💞💞 I turned 28 on the 27th and have refused to acknowledge it but watching this made me feel ready to embrace it lol! anyway, I truly hope this year is your B E S T !!!!! we’re all rooting for you 🥰💖
Tea Dragon Society is dangerously under hyped! I'm so happy to see it get love!! Happy late Birthday!! Giant Days is also under appreciated, I hope you love it! I suspect you might 😊
Happy birthday!!!!! I'm reading mouthful of birds but in Spanish. I'm Argentinian, but I didn't know her and I started reading Samanta thanks to your recommendations! Uhhhh Kitchen.... so interesting, I've been wanting to read it for quite some time now
Hi Ally! I just wanted to say that your videos are the highlight of my week and bring me so much comfort and joy - you always remind me to take things slow and enjoy the simple things, to be silly and fun and TO READ! I've been watching your videos religiously for the past few months and (as I just started high school) I've been very stressed lately, so they help so much! Also, I was diagnosed with autism around the same time you were, and it felt so reassuring to go through the process of it all alongside you. Luv ya
Happppppy birthaversary pal!!! Looked like a fun celebration that fit well who you are. Your OTGW Oct design is my fav you've ever done...and I fittingly am wearing my pottsfield harvest festival shirt rn! Your dance break was much needed today, thanks =) A good between grad classes break in my busy day Ohh and my "There's no rush" snail shirt arrived and it's become my very fav piece of attire right now. I wear it when I see clients as a therapist and I think it sends an important message that I try to get through to my clients about following their own timeline and not rushing along life
@@allisonpaiges I'm also going to read the "Connecting with the Autism Spectrum" book you recommended bc many of my clients are neurodivergent and I appreciate the resource suggestion!!! Much of what we read is...outdated and pathologizing. So I am excited to read this book....when I graduate this December and have more time for not already assigned reading =) It will be part of my own "continuing Education" literature. The snail shirt is very fitting for my therapist office which is covered in artwork of frogs saying messages about how "you don't have to smile if you don't want". One is by someone I ordered from on Etsy that is a sweet anxious little rainfrog who calms himself by counting the crickets printed on his jumper/sweater and it's about these comforting little coping mechanisms we do to take it slow and get by. I appreciate your vlogs so much bc you have always seemed to share my love of smol critters who are so rewarding to just watch watch do their thing. I get such a kick out of when you show your snail friends zoomin in fast motion. Makes me laugh everytime
I watched this wonderful cozy video during a break from extremely dense academic reading🥲. Ally’s uploads are always a reminder to slow down and do something I enjoy, even just for half an hour(watching this video). Sending love to Ally and to all ✨
Hey hey, So, I have been on bedrest for almost 7 weeks wiaitng for my insurance to authorize surgery on my foot. (yuck) AND CAN I JUST SAY-- you and your lovely videos have made this time absolutely better. I'm not one to comment on youtube videos often but I had to just tell you. You have truly been a blessing to find out here on the internet during this isolating and growing time for me. Thank you for being the sweetest bean!! AHH! Much love and prayers to you! I hope you are so happy and smothered with love in your life because you have the purest heart.
I just requested The Starless Sea large print edition from my library system, and your two favorite Becky Chambers books (regular print, I think), PLUS Legends & Lattes, because I discovered your channel today. Thanks! ❤️🌿🍁🍂🍃🐌🐌
Happy birthday! I LOVED a long way to a small angry planet! I listened to it on audiobook and devoured it! So so good, and so so happy for all of the good things happening for you
Happy Birthday! I think you might like The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making. It's about a girl who is tired of her live and is whisked away to Fairyland.
cozy fantasy suggestion: the wildwood chronicles by colin meloy. it's middle grade and set in what is technically portland, oregon but is really a magical forest next door with kids and forest creatures adventuring and fighting evil and being the best. it's a three book series and i had so much fun with it last year. i think you'd love it! there are also great illustrations along with it that were all done by the author's wife so, bonus.
Happy belated birthday!!!! Gelukkige verjaardag!!! 🥳🥳🥳 Loved the video, loved your energy, loved the music and loved the editing!!! It was amazing!!!! 😍😍😍 PS: Will be humming Cascada for the rest of the week... 🙉
tha dance party made my day, as usual. Happy birthday!!! The other day a snail came in my salad, so now I'm a snail mom. For now they're living in a pot but I'm learning how to make a terrarium
Dance parties are back and I couldn’t be more pleased! Cozy recs: “Half a Soul” (Fantasy) and “Sourdough, or Lois and Her Adventures in the Underground Market” (Literary Fiction)
You talking about not taking the Dutch class because it didn't fit your routine made me feel so seen! I am a VERY routine oriented girlie and get VERY UPSET when they are disturbed, especially when it's not necessary or when there's a better option ✨
Ally, happy birthday!!!! I had no idea!!! 28 suits you gurrrrlll❤️ sending you lots of love and a better year with your health🤗 Also, there’s this fantasy series whose first book is called A Magic Steeped in Poison which is based on tea magic. I think it’s YA? Thought you’d be interested since you’re reading about Tea Dragons✨
A moment of respect for the editing in the dance party bit. Ally didn't have to go that hard- she did that for us
🥹
Sassy editing ally hits different. We love her!
