Do not stop the 2 hour vlogs
AGREED
3rd..en ☝️. 😂❤💜👑
Fourth
Hahahaha I gotta try and get back to another 2hr one 🙉
Yes please, they help with the calm I read and listen to you talk 💜
First want to say, Olivia your vlogs are the best!!
Now, Former barista here, yes beans go bad! Here’s a reference:
Unopened bag of whole beans: good until expiration on bag
Opened bag of whole beans: good for 7 days
Ground coffee: good for 24 hours
This is super strict! I would double it for personal use this is just food standard for coffee places. I keep my grounds for ages but yes it does affect flavor. Exposure to light, moisture, etc degrades beans quickly.
Thanks for coming to my TED Talk 😅
Thank you for the ted talk!!!
I recently saw a reel of a girl saying her and her friend check in on each other and ask how the other 'saved the day'. The concept was that, after a hard days work, where everything seems monotonous and you feel overwhelmed by your obligations, 'saving the day' means doing something to reclaim the day as yours. Anyway, today, watching this vlog was my version of saving my day 💗
I love that!
I went my entire 20s never wearing shorts in public. I wear them now and OH MY GOSH it’s worth not caring because it’s so nice to not sweat. Not cover up. Blind the haters with my transparent skin.
Editing to add: biker shorts always fit great! Wear a longish shirt to semi cover the bum. They’re definitely what helped me and even still, finding shorts to fit my narrow hips but big belly, so hard it’s frustrating.
I'm 26 and I still don't wear shorts in public after being very extremely insulted years ago by an older family member for wearing shorts in the house. She almost kicked me out of her house, so I'm no longer comfortable wearing shorts. But I am glad you were able to find the confidence to wear them again! I'm working on not caring what other people think and I have come far but it's a process. Starting that journey was the best thing I could have done for myself and I cringe now thinking about how I used to care so much about what others thought.
Biker shorts are my summer uniform at this point! I need to get some more of the longer ones to pair with my long shirts!
@@oliviareadsalatte I like the idea of biker shorts but something tells me they would look awful on me haha. I might see if I can find a pair in person and try them on.
@@carolinesromancereads I thought this too! I found a pair of high waisted tummy control ones and now I have six pairs 😜 and it’s much cooler in this Texas heat
please never stop the long vlogs!! i either put them on while im working (i work from home and love the background noise) or they’re on during my weekly clean
Awh thank you 🫶🏻🫶🏻
I have really poor health and I just want to say I appreciate your long vlogs so much to keep me not alone when I want to be physically alone if that makes sense, anyway thank you for being you!!
I totally understand what you mean! I’m very happy these videos can help 🫶🏻💛
something about the way you live your life motivates me so much and makes me wanna build a cozy little life for myself so badly!
This is so sweet, thank you! 🫶🏻
Hey just wanted to come say appreciate you using non gender wording such as humans😊 I could tell you wanted to say romance girlies and choose not to! I’m not non binary but Jesse made me realize to include them😊😊 hope that makes since, love ya 2 hr vlogs!
1. The two hour vlogs are everything, ty for your service.
2. The NY-er in me is dying over the shoes on the couch lmao
Thank you! 🤣💛
your 2+ hour vlogs keep me going,,, i loveee your long form content. its so comforting to me!
I'm so glad!💛💛
Love watching your vlogs in the background with my 1yo, he points at Ginger and does the "meow" sound and smiles so widely 🥹😭 this time he meowed at your turtle and got confused 😆 I guess we don't know the sound a turtle makes hahaha
Hahahaha I don’t know what noise they would make either 🐢
Hello , I'm Katie from the UK, just wanted to let you know how grateful I am for your channel 😊 I watch your weekly vlogs every single week and they bring me so much happiness. Please never stop making videos because they are amazing❤ because of you I've started reading a lot more
This is my favorite thing ever ☺️ thank you so much!! This genuinely means so much to me.
❤❤
"They just played a laugh track when I asked how long until I can read it" 😅😆😆😂 I started at #541 on Just for the Summer for libby audiobook and I'm #5 now its very exciting lol
I needed this video today! Working with humans all day is exhausting! Especially when there are so many different personalities that just don't vibe with you. 😅 came home from work raging! Lol so I need this to calm down 😂
Should I be asleep not watching a weekly vlog at 2am ? Oh I should , but here we are x
P.S I don’t know if you have read it but I think you would like Mina and the undead (90’s New Orleans and the characters work at a Fear Fest horror tour) , honestly it’s so good xx
I’ve seen those books around but never knew what it was about, that sounds good!
🐈😺🐱👑 My Library uses Beanstack in the summer months to hold a readathon where they count minutes of everyone from kids to adults. Then hold prize raffles that you put your challenge tickets into as you achieve the goals. I look forward to it every year just because I get little badges of honor on it. (I've won physical prizes too but that dopamine from those little achievements is something special)
Your video this week, is a little more extra comforting this week, since I just got admitted to Hospital in the middle of the night because of a pancreatitis and I literally don't have anything here since it was to late and I didn't think I would stay.
I’m so so sorry! I hope you’re feeling better 💛
Yes pleas dont stop the 2 h vlogs. Its like i spend the evening with a friend😊
"Founding father hair" ok, Thankfully I was drinking ciffee outside on the oatio because I choked, laughed, list my coffee ☕ on the back patio. 😂 gurl....you made grandma Lynn lol.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Currently looking for my next read. And quit putting yourself down! I think you’re so pretty and good looking (I’m not flirting 😂)
Downloaded nana - it’s short so I’ll try it.
I was not a fan of Grave Reservations either. An author who writes good cozyish psychic mysteries is Victoria Laurie. She’s also a psychic in real life and I think it helps make the stories feel authentic. Just my opinion though. Kindles compared to maxi pads had me cracking up 😂. Loving all the long vlogs we’ve been getting 💜
Good recommendation, I enjoy her books!
Girl the way you said "BooBoo" to Ginger. I call my Bean boy BooBoo too 🐈🥰
Awh 🫶🏻🐈
YES to bad beans being a thing. So many factors go into it. I have to use the beans up within 10-14 days of the roasting date, otherwise it just never turns out well in my breville.
Oh I really enjoyed funny story and I was waiting for you to read it too. It would be a great vlog--you all surrounded by these cozy, happy romances 😊
I need to read that and happy place!
This was so comforting for me. Thank you 🍀🧡
I’m so glad 🫶🏻
Yes Olivia to the rescue on thus day when my gut is trying to do me in!
I hope you feel better soon! 💖
Thank you! 😊❤️
I can fully relate to the feel the need to read my library holds as soon as I get them. I forget that I can always check them out later lol. Thanks for the reassurance :) Where the sleeping girls lie is AMAZING!
I’m starting it now!
My pallet cleanser genre is middle grade fantasy. I'm a pretty hard-core fantasy girlie. So I like to break up my fantasy with more fantasy just different age categories hahahaa
the bow mug is so cute
Thank you, I love it! 🎀
I was in my Shadowhunters era last week but now I'm on vacation in CO and I've bought 5 new Stephen King books #ashamedofmyself 😂
Jake and Ginge make me so happy 🫶🏻🌱🍋
Saaaaame 🐕 🐈 💛
My days are always so much brighter when I have one of your vlogs to watch 🥰 Best way to do chores IMO
What planner do you use btw? Been wanting to treat myself to a nicer, refillable one.
That ""never say never" where is justin bieber at y'all?" really hit the spot! LOL
These vlogs make my week ❤
I'm so glad! 🫶🏻
I love the 2 hour vlogs and yes I love your planner videos can you put the link again please on the exact planner you have? 😄
I think you're referring to the hobonichi cousin, which I just grabbed from amazon!
1:13:13 preachhhh. I always need this reminder 🫶🏻
🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
Ahh you grabbed Riley Thorn and the Dead Guy Next Store! I read it this month and really liked it! Keep in mind it does seem a little too long but for me it really hit the spot as far as the whole hilarious octogenarians up to shenanigans acting as slightly unreliable sidekick(s) 😅.
THE ICE STIR SO SATISFYING 🤭
Heheheh highlight of the vlog 🤣
Love your Katya laptop sticker!!😍 I have her & Trixie tattooed on me lol
Great vlog as always🫶🏻
Yay! Thank you! And that’s so cool!
Okay that mushroom cup is SO CUTE
Right!
Love the vlog❤🐕🐈🐢 I am currently waiting 9 whole weeks for my turn reading Funny Story via library! A few of my friends already read it and LOVE IT! So, I am excited about that ❤I am currently reading Hello Stranger by Katherine Center, and I think it's pretty good so far!
I have the worst time feeling like I need to make myself read my Library books before my Physical TBR and it puts me in a slump sometimes.
Can i just say that you have become one of my comfy RUclipsrs? I love to watch your videos
That’s so sweet, thank you! 💛
Great video as always Olivia 🐈
Thank you! 😊
🐈 I have been reading The Pomegranate Gate and it’s been really good so far. Definitely recommend it! 😊
Not me literally at work watching this with a Factor meal 😂
Hahahah twins 👯
omg people have been asking me forever to also make one of those "how i read so much with a 9-5" videos but like sit-down version & i keep pushing it off 'cause i feel so weird about making it lmao. one day i'll have the ballsies to do it😂
I need to actually sit down and plan the vlog out bc I would like to film it at some point!
We love long hour vlogs ❤❤❤
💛💛💛
I love your long vlogs, then I can watch them over several days! 😊
What is the reading time app called?
I need a Tempest of Tea. I love vamps and heists.The psychic travel agent sounded good too. Hi Jake from your #1 fan, Lynn in Phoenix 🌵
It was a fun book!
I'm trying to figure out if I am here for the book or the gadgets lol I really enjoy your vlogs .Thanks for sharing
🤣
Hey! Love your vlogs, question. What is the app you mention that tracks how much it took you to read the book?
Yeah I want to know what this is too
What app do you use to track the time you spend reading?
Yeah we love it we want more content like this
💛
What app are you using to track your reading?
Great vlog. I cant wait to check out Funny Story. I have all of Emily Genry's books but havent gotten to them just yet. Trying to finish my YA collection first📚☕🫖🍄🌸
Thank you! I have enjoyed three of hers that I’ve read so far 💛
I really wanted to love A Tempest of Tea, but I didn’t for the critique you mentioned. The world and characters weren’t developed enough, so everything fell flat. I didn’t know the stakes or why I should care about any of it. My most disappointing read of the year so far! Oh how I wish my mind could fill in the details!
Hello Hello ❤ loving your vlogs lately
Yay! Thank you! 🫶🏻
i’m so far behind on vids! playing major catch up ✨
Cosy mysteries/murder soothes my brain, too 🫢 not sure what that says about me lol
Hahahah we’re twins 👯♀️
Enjoyed this! Loved both of your iced coffee mugs! Can I ask where you got them?
Thank you!! 💛 Coffeeandgoodreads!
@@oliviareadsalatte Thank you!
The StankABooty mailman. I LOVE him lol
He always makes me smile 🤣
@@oliviareadsalatte Me too 😂
I know you said you like gardening so why not use your stale coffee beans for some compost? It would be good and make sure none of your beans goes to waste! ❤
Oh I didn’t know that was an option!
Try and make Cold Brew with the older beans. :)
Cold brew makes my blood vibrate 😭
@@oliviareadsalatte Nooooo🥲
I buy my coffee pre-ground and ALSO bought the 5lb bag this time and was underwhelmed by my first cup. I thought i just did something wrong but maybe it is something about the larger quantity.
I think I can’t buy big bags because I can’t use it fast enough!
There's a book called Summer Harvest by Rektor Ross and the synopsis is 'Vampire diaries meets Coachella'. I feel like this might be right up your alley (and mine)😊
Coachella 👀
I got both things wrong its Spring Harvest and Rektok Ross 😅
who did she recommend to watch to get a better understanding of all the different fantasy genres?
Aaron from booked and busy! She reads tons of fantasy and has such good recs!
@@oliviareadsalatte thank you!😁
Hello dearie. Who was the book tocker with the bookstore from Chicago? I looove your long form vlogs 🐱 🐕 💕 ☕️
totally random question, what brand is your vertical monitor on your desk? i'm trying to upgrade my setup!
This is the one my partner bought! amzn.to/3Vutub3 they said it’s not top of the line or anything, but is really good for a second monitor to the side and it’ll go vertical or horizontal!
@@oliviareadsalatte thank you!!💘 i've looking for something next to my imac and i loved the idea of a vertical monitor from watching all your vlogs!
What is the app you were tracking the reading for pages per time read?
beanstack!
as a planner girlie, I would love to know where you got your cover. I love a floral.
From Etsy!
What is the app you use when reading it sounds good
Beanstack!
I love Jess owens
🫶🏻🫶🏻
Does Ginger chirp at the birdies when she watches them at the window? I used to call it "barking" when my cat would do it, but I think it's more accurate to say she's like... chirping/chattering. She wants to get the birdies so bad!
Yes, she chirps a lot! I actually got it because she loves to watch them 🐦
Wait wait what is the last book that you showed called?!?
Ginger!!♥️♥️
🐈💛
What is this magical reading set up you have with all the pillows?
Hahahaha right?? I got it from Amazon!
Can you link to your purse please ?
I love your thriller recs I have read some Riley sager and ohhh Simone st James is my favorite I need to read she’s not sorry 😁
My husband and I have been wanting to try Factor …. Omg 😮your vlog was a sign!! Signing up tonight!!! 🎉
Also … Have you heard of Murder Your Employer: The McMasters Guide to Homicide by Rupert Holmes?? I’m intrigued 🧐🤓
I like your reading light btw 👀
I have that book, I’m interested in it for sure! And I hope you enjoy factor!! It makes dinner so easy omg
I was watching this vlog while making food and my husband came in and started talking I said “be quiet Ms. Latte is talking” Your name is Olivia Readsa Latte in my head just so you know
Hahahaha 🤣🤣🤣
What app do you use to figure out your reading speed? I wish I read faster!
it's beanstack!
You rocking Ginger ❤❤
🐈💛
Ok LOVE YOUR NEW HOBO COVER!!! Where is it from 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you! I got it from Etsy!
@@oliviareadsalatte it’s gawwwgeous 🥰 I have the a5 sterling ink common planner and it’s in a Gillio cover but wanted something like yours that doesn’t snap close. Also, I just love throwing on your videos and letting them play in the background when I’m multitasking, feels like we’re hangin’ out & i love that! 🫶🏼
When you had a migraine so you went and got a soda even though there was a tornado warning? I felt that in my bones as a fellow migraine girlie
Hahahaha I had to do what I had to do 🤣
I think i missed it unless you didn't say, what is the name of the app you were tracking your reading with? If you don't mind 😊❤️
Beanstack!
@@oliviareadsalatte Thank you!!
Yay and hi there
👋🏼 💛
Read it or Yeet it 😂
🤣🤣
Have you ever heard of the brand BAGGU? I feel as though you’d like it 🤠
SPOILERS FOR SHES NOT SORRY
the twist with the attacker, I knew right when he was introduced that it was him. But then in the end I felt like that whole side plot was extremely pointless to the book. But also without that, where’s the thrill? Lol But also, the ending… a little much lol I feel like the bad woman was definitely in the wrong, however did we really have to kill her off? lol wild ride. It was a three star for me, a solid thriller, definitely would be a good one for pretty new thriller readers.
Okay but I also felt like the fact that we were technically getting a past timeline and it wasn’t indicated by anything we could’ve noticed was unfair 🤣
Those cups! 😮 I know you mentioned in an earlier vid where you get them, but, "me being me," I didn't write down the name, and Now I can't find the video.😭🥺
