First of all: so proud of you for going to therapy and getting your story published. Also, thank you for being so open on your mental health 🧡 I’ve been reading a lot of books in the evenings and I’ve picked up a new hobby (crochet) 🧶 Love your vlog including the “bragging” and other exiting shares (music, journaling, dcc)
Thank you for opening up about your mental health my love! I am so glad you're feeling better and are proud of all the progress you've made, that's a huge achievement. I get upset with myself when I get burnt out and my anxiety worsens too, it's so hard not to with the pressures of everyday life weighing down on you. It's a constant up and down battle, that's for sure! We just have to enjoy the moments of joy in between, big and small! ♥
exactly! it feels like such a daily chore sometimes to manage my anxiety and my expectations around it, I get you. Sending love and many moments of little joy!
I love the sticker at the back of your journal. Have you ever thought of making customed ones? Literally would love to have that one with my name on MY journal. 😂
So incredibly proud of you for putting your needs first and your transparency with your mental health. You're doing amazing being so produtive and pursuing all of your dreams (IT IS NOT BRAGGING IT IS AMAZING). Congratulations beautiful on being published and hopefully will be able to read more from you in future. Your products are always ACE. IN LOVE with the concept of a gift for a ghost so adding it to my tbr RN. Tattoo is stunning beauty
It’s so funny that you mentioned Lush’s Twilight scent when talking about the candle because I have been thinking about how much I love that scent and thinking about how I want to buy the body spray! You might have convinced me haha 🥰
I also have the general anxiety disorder and it tends to cause more symptoms when I'm stressed out and tired. I'm graduating in two weeks and I don't have school anymore so I've been consciously and purposely taking some relax time for myself because I know it makes so good for me. And it's been lovely because my reading has been more active again! Right now my situation is quite good and I've been going therapy for almost a year now and it has helped. It's nice to hear about you and your life and recent reads :)
Hi! I really liked this video! And I also really like to hear you talking about more than books, so no worries at all! I personally watch your videos mostly for the cosy (gezellige) whimsical vibes 😊 I also think it's really nice to hear you being excited about all the things you've been up to and it doesn't feel at all like bragging to me. I recognize the feeling of excitement when you're doing new things that you're passionate about. I started my own (low-key) business a year ago in making and selling my own knitting patterns. Every time I'm doing well or I'm trying something new, I get so excited and I want to tell everyone about it. Right now I'm venturing into giving knitting courses as well and I'm really excited. I visited you at the market in Tilburg! I think it is really cool you're doing these markets and I would love to visit again if you're close by. Anyway, I basically like everything about your videos because it's so wholesome and I would love to keep following the things you do and like to share! Liefs! ✨
omg that is wonderful! knitting patterns, ultimately cozy!!! If I was less inpatient i'd love a knitting course haha. thank you for saying hi in tilburg that's so fun ☕
Congrats on you getting published 😊 looking forward to reading you. Also I have to struggle a lot with my anxiety and some thoughts and I hope you can get through this. Take care.
Congrats on your publication, I love your videos, you spark such joy! please never apologize for being happy, rather show it abundantly. I am in love with the moth earrings you are wearing, any chance you're able to reveal where you got them?
Congratulations on all of your good news - being published, the new shop items (love the tarot bookmarks - would love a full pack once you have the full major arcana), and most importantly, that you are feeling great! Thank you for sharing what you have been up to (and books - always love the books :) My current read is "In the Company of Witches" by Auralee Wallace; about a family of witches running a B&B in a small town when something goes horribly wrong with a guest (this one has strong Gilmore Girl vibes too). I am enjoying it, although I would love more coziness and less sleuthing 🌘🧣🤣!
CONGRATS ON GETTING PUBLISHED!! Also, I loved hearing about your current faves, please do more of these! Im def gonna check out the album you recommended and thank you for being so open about your mental health. Anxious girlies unite! Lol. Anyways, you're doing amazing and can't wait for your next video! Sending lots of love
I'm currently reading a lot of manga but I'm about 80 pages into Song of Achilles! your vlogs always make me want to drop everything and go be creative but corporate america and anxiety says "NO" so thank you for being my escape. love your videos and your work ✨🧡
Genuinely happy you are feeling better and thank you for sharing your journey. I would compare Quinnie more to Phoebe Bridgers and Mitski rather than Florence. I think she's indie pop and of course now I'm looking for North Muse candles too 🕯
There is a beautiful victorian English book which almost no one read " The Gadfly" by Ethel Lilian Voinich( her maiden name was Bull). I recommend to everyone to read it.
So far, I've written another book (collection of horror stories).. on its way to be proofread, and I'm trying to make some card and board game. I'd love to learn how to illustrate.
I was never officially diagnosed with Vaginismus...but I'm pretty sure I had it. I did the physical therapy for it and it helped me immensely, but I always had a fear of intimacy because of it.
The notebook and bookmarks are so gorgeous. Definitely going on my xmas wish list ❤ how did you get started with drawing? Was it something you've always been good at?
I've always done drawing ever since I was small! But I've become better through lots and lots and lots of practice and by graduating art school and following many courses :)
💫🍄🌙 You are such a stunningly beautiful person both inside and out, and I'm so happy for all you are accomplishing in your life! You are working hard and definitely have the right to brag, no apology needed! This video made me smile and put me in a great mood, your positive energy is contagious, so Thank You! Oh, and Happy Holidays! 🎄
The only thing I've done recently is host a small readathon that went pretty well. It did get me to read a new book I've been meaning to get to, The Inevitability Of. A book a Type-A 26 year-old women who discovers her magical heritage and has to deal with gods(loa specifically) and the 4 Horsemen.
I would love to try book of the month! I was under the impression they did not ship to the Netherlands so I hadn’t tried yet😮 Edit: nvm just saw they don’t 🥲 Lovely vlog as usual!
I would love to try Book of The Month but they dont ship outside of the US (Im also in the Netherlands)? Did they send u physical copies as an exception? Lovely video btw ^^
Two books I read and loved over the fall months and HIGHLY recommend are "The Unfortunate Effects of Heartbreak and Magic" by Breanne Randall (content warnings for death of a family member and attempted suicide), which managed to be cozy even while dealing with some deeper topics, and "If I Have to Be Haunted" by Miranda Sun, which was a YA novel that was way better than it had any right to be with a romance that literally had me squealing. A recent thing I've done is to start journaling in an attempt to help quiet my own anxiety when it gets to be too much. And a favorite thing is the ghost mug I bought from Flying Tiger for Halloween.
The Unfortunate Effects of Heartbreak and Magic was on my radar but unfortunately didn't get great reviews which had me hesitating! glad you loved it though!!!
@@leoraaileen I get why people didn't like it; I think comparing it to two of the most popular media in the marketing didn't help. If you're not sure about it, maybe try a library?
I so so so want go buy everything from your shop❤❤❤ you are so talented.. but I can't cause I live in India 😢 love your videos and channel..makes me feel like I belong
