An AMAZING book on cleaning is called "How to keep house when you're drowning", It's only 50 pages and it's written for neurodivergent people or overwhelmed people and it taught me so much about how to care for my space in a way that is mentally healthy and maintainable
I really struggle with cleaning my flat due to my mental health. I saw your comment and thought "I'll just have a look". I've bought the book and currently 20 pages in. It's like a therapy session on cleaning in a book! Thank you for such a wonderful recommendation. And thank you Cherry for creating this kind and magical community!
Thanks for answering so many questions and giving us a little insight to your life, Cherry! So happy to see you so happy, it's radiant and contagious 🧡
I’m so happy for you and your new relationship. Blessings! How am I doing? I’m 72 and live alone. January 11th I went for a knee replacement. That afternoon the doctor has you stand with the new knee. I stood and my femur in the same leg broke. Two days later I had surgery to repair the femur. For ten weeks I was bedridden and couldn’t put any weight on the leg. I couldn’t go home so I had to go to a nursing home to recover. I finally was able to put weight on the leg and spent another few weeks learning to walk again. I was away from home 3 months. I have the best friends in the world. Plus, having your videos to watch while in the hospital made things easier to deal with. Now, I’m looking at having back surgery this fall. Take care of yourself and enjoy youth!
When my son decided to get a kitten he got two from the litter. They have each for company when they aren’t home and can play with each other and it’s so cute to see them cuddle and sleep together too. Plus I heard it’s better to adopt in pairs for those exact reasons. 🐈🐈⬛ Also, you and Joel got me into ACOTAR and I’ve flown through all of the books SO GOOD!!!!! I hope she writes the next one soon 🙏🏻
I'm sort of 50/50 with the Harry Potter series as well. On one hand, i'm looking forward to seeing what they add and all the details that were missed in the movies. Whereas on the other hand, I sort of wish we were given something new. Harry Potter has already been done, and it would have been nice to be given a series about a different time period in the Wizarding World, so for example: The first Wizarding war, The rise of Voldemort, The Marauders, even a proper fleshed out story of the duel of Dumbledore and Grindelwald where it isn't focused entirely on Newt and the beasts (even though I love Newty and his beasts).
I'm quite optimistic really. I remember years ago before the new came out I was talking to a friend about when they're going to reboot harrypottet and how I hope it's a series. And I cant believe it's happening, but what I'm really hoping is they show more about the progress of the story lines like you mentioned, rise of Voldemort and such and especially a more day to day aspect to hogwarts student life. The movie was all about the big plot points and even though I havent read all the books I know there ate a lot of details and even characters that were left out and I hope they give screen time on all of those instead of investing much on the big plot points. This way people who have watched the series first would have so many new things to see than just seeing the same scenes with different actors and sets. I actually wouldny mind if it was possible for them to make a sort of side character as the main character. So it's kind of in the POV of all the happening of all the events from someone who's outside the circle of the golden trio. I think that would be interesting, so it doesnt necessarily have to be a different time line or about the past like james time at school( although that would be nice too). Honestly I just cant get enough of the hp world , I just want to see more of it, the day to day of the students through out the year and of course showing how the whole hp world looks through out the seasons and such.
But newt (and his beasts) were an integral part of the fall of grindelwald? I know you meant no form of “fantastic beasts was bad” but there really isn’t much more to tell lol I mean unless you mean until he was actually captured but the blood pact is broken, I think we know how the story will end from here lol. I don’t think the movies just focused on “newt and his beasts”. Although I will agree that I would like a new non-Harry potter protagonist.
I was married for a long time, and after my divorce, I didn't know what I wanted to do with myself. I had been 'his wife' and 'their mom' for over half my life - I needed to figure out exactly who I am to find out who/what I want (and don't want), before getting into another relationship. Good for you, doll!! Glad you're happy! ❤
Im so happy that you’re happy with this mystery boyfriend! As much as it makes me curious to know who he is, I respect the boundaries that you’ve placed. I hope that everything will work out, and that he loves you just as much as all of us do! ✨☺️
The cursed necklace will look amazing on a stand like those they have in jewellery shops! I managed to find one in a shape of a head, with black velvet and I display my Ravenclaw Diadem on it with a nice soft-light from above! A black-velvet torso display should be perfect for the necklace!
I’m so happy for you. You’ve taken time to appreciate yourself and your own company, and you look so happy to be in a relationship, starting new chapters. Good on you Cherry, genuinely happy for you 💙
It's good to see you so happy! I am doing so well! I had a major fear that I overcame today, and I am so happy and proud of myself! Hope you all are doing well! Love this magical family so much!
Loved this Q&A-can relate to a few points made! Sometimes it’s nice to hear that it isn’t just you and other people go through the same things! Positive vibes all round 💕
I think the fridge thing has to do with how far I have to drive to get groceries its a 45min drive for me so I need to hold and buy large amounts at a time
Hi Cherry, I'm doing extremely well at the moment and it feels so good to genuinely being able to say that I am happy. When it comes to travelling I can only recommend to do it at a time when you know you can afford and enjoy it because many people like to wait until they are old and retired but honestly at one point your body might not be in the best condition so do it as long as you can without feeling like it's exhausting to travel, you know what I mean?
I'm doing as well as I can, at the moment, to answer that question. I like the sweater, the color combination is very nice. what I have been looking for, is a letter opener that looks like the sword of Aragon.
You‘re looking so happy and colourful (make up wise) since you have your new relationship. It suits you so well! All the best for both of you from Germany ❤
Cherry, I'm glad you're doing well! Oh, I tried to tag you in a tweet last week just to let you know about a hardback lined journal I began recently--Advanced Meal Making, based on Advanced Potion Making in H-BP, which is neat handwriting in black ink of the original recipes with not-so-neat revisions/additions put in as needed. I do all the cooking for my elderly folks and myself, will *not* write in cookbooks, needed something w/ commonly used recipes I could write in and add to (still plenty of blank pages!), and was also inspired by your HP subscription box reviews. I keep Advanced Meal Making in a kitchen cupboard and refer to it when needed and add recipes when liked enough to put into rotation :).
I wish they would do a series following the Marauders through their years at Hogwarts and first few years into the first war. We all know how it will end, but it would still be amazing!
We so need books on the marauder's lives, Draco malfoy's life, the journey of tom riddle beginning from his birth to his death, Dumbledore's journey, the first war, the whole black family, Hermione Granger 's life before Hogwarts and after finding the wizarding world. Like, literally all these topics need to be formed into detailed texts rather than just a movie or untrue theories A lot needs to be unraveled in the Harry Potter series!
I’ve recently been advised that I might benefit from bereavement counselling. Seeing your therapy journey & the comments from other subscribers is giving me the confidence to try it rather than assuming I can (& should) deal with my loss on my own
I'm really happy for you, Cherry! I love doing deep cleaning; I recently finished washing all the woodwork/ trim in the house. It does the soul good. If you have children one day, you will love having an American-style refrigerator. Have a great weekend, xoxo's Sandie
I really wish they were going to make the HP series as animated, like Studio Ghibli films! We wouldn’t have to worry about casting. I think it would be even more Magic and special.
It's so HEARTWARMING, to see you truly & Sincerely happy, with yourself & who you are, & now being able to share your love, joy, & happiness with!❤ I am turning 41, this October, & have been single for 20 years😢 Some of those years, has truly showed, who I am, & also just realizing you can't please everyone! & like you mentioned about, really getting to know, deep down what you want, & what you need that makes you happy. & if you can't answer what you want or need, & what makes you happy, THEN it's going to be extremely hard, to be with someone... I also have realized, you never stop learning things about who you are, no matter how old. I also had to become a stronger person, for I lost my mom, almost 5 years ago now, & I had to be strong for my father. Specialty after already losing a son, my older brother who is/was the middle child. I'm the youngest, & my oldest & now only brother lives over 13 hours away from my dad & I.. Yes at almost being 41, I still live at home..NOT by chose, but because of being in a MVA, when a van rain a STOP sign right in front of are car. I have had 2 Eye surgerys 1 back surgery, that the surgeon BADLY messed me up worse then I already was😢 pluse a neck surgery, & I have been now waiting 15 years sense the MVA to get BOTH knees replaced, & every 5 months I go & have my, lower back nerves, on my right & left cutt.. I would love to meet that special person, I find it a lot harder today, to really find THAT person. And I would really love to know, how did you find or meet your special person? If I over steeped, by asking that question I do DEEPLY apologize! How long have you both, now been together? Would REALLY love to know! Thank you Cherry, & I do apologize for the extremely LONG comment. I wish you only the best, & may every day be more LOVELY, HAPPYNESS, JOYOUS, & filled with LAUGHTER then the LAST day!❤😊
I didn't know you lived with your parents for so long! It's very refreshing to hear as someone who's 28 and also still living with her parents (and younger siblings). Although it's kinda more common where I live than in most parts of the "western" world. These past weeks I actually started looking into renting an apartment because I finally have savings and income. But... the other day I was told that my company is struggling financially and they might not be able to renew the contracts of the newer employees - which includes me. So that's where I'm at right now. Just about to be able to move out, and then probably have that taken away in a couple weeks. :(
Yeah I think a lot of people do live with their families for longer these days, especially with the rise of cost of living etc! But I certainly couldn’t afford to move out until late 20s and even then I wasn’t sure if I’d manage.
Here to comment about cleaning… As a professional cleaner I have some advice for those who find it impossible to keep their house clean and tidy… if it’s taking you any longer than 6-8 hours (depending on size) to deep clean (ie, dust, hoover, antibac, windows, surfaces, bathrooms, stairs, floors…) then you have too much stuff! You should be able to deep clean a bathroom in 30-45 mins, take everything out, clean everywhere and put everything back… if emptying and putting things back takes longer than it did to clean then you need to reduce the amount of sh*t you’re buying or find better storage solutions ie. Boxes or baskets, this way you can take the basket out and put the basket back rather than each individual item… Same with the kitchen, take everything off the sides, clean everywhere and put everything back…. If there’s too much stuff on the sides think about your storage… is there a cupboard you can empty or condense in order to reduce the amount of stuff you have on the counters at all times…. This helps with the cleaning maintenance as it won’t be as daunting every time you go to clean…. If you have pets try and hoover or dust daily (behind furniture too and this is where the build up will be) or at least 3x per week otherwise the fur etc will build up and become a nightmare for allergies etc.. Sounds harsh but the more you have the more you have to clean… we’re a society of overconsumption because we’re guilt tripped into buying new new new…. But realistically you can’t take any of it with you when you die… i just spent two weeks going through my grandmothers house and the amount of items that have accumulated over the years…. It’s unbearable… My mum was there to help and has decided that she also has too much…. The more you have the less you value it, the harder it is to clean around it, life’s too short to spend 8hrs a week cleaning your house… if you can get it down to 3-4 then you’re onto a winner!!
18:05 yes all the time! I have a list of banned books to read as well as the list of various books awards like the Pulitzer. I have a list to shows/movies I want to watch. A list of places I want to travel and experience culture. I have a list of things I want to learn. So right now all I have are my lists and not enough time/brain to do it all!
the monstera variegata (white spots) is natural grown, the monstera thai constellation (creme spots) is modified, the last one is the higher priced one
Oh get a black cat, honestly the 2 black cats i have are so chilled there is just no words (both male) then i have my naughty tortoise shell, she's so pretty but a destroyer of everything (curtains, boxes... Anything!) Its a damn good job i love her 😂😂 i just wish she was as chilled as my boys 😂 x
Cats do better if they have company. Also if they are kittens together, grow up together, they are usually very amenable with each other. And you don’t have the issue of introducing a kitten to an adult cat or two adults to each other! I have had many cats in my life(12 total) unfortunately due to my age and the life expectancy of most of my cats( approximately 20 yrs) I only have one cat now. Unfortunately her friend died a couple of years ago. I had only had him for 10 years but he was a full adult when he joined us as a stray and raised my remaining kitty.
We so need books on the marauder's lives, Draco Malfoy 's life, the journey of Tom riddle beginning from his birth to his death, Dumbledore 's journey, the first war, the whole black family, Hermione Granger ' life before Hogwarts and after finding the wizarding world. Like, literally all these topics need to be formed into detailed texts rather than just a movie or untrue theories. A lot needs to be unraveled in the Harry Potter series!
Good evening Cherry!!! I have been working a lot, and it is so hot that I haven't been feeling very good lately. Hopefully it will cool down a little soon. Thank you so much for sharing with us, and I hope you have a Blessed week!!
I live in a place where summers are very hot. Often multiple days over 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 Celsius) so my string of pearls and hearts like filtered sunlight outside. They hate the dryness of the house. They live under my patio roof that also keeps them protected from frost in the winter. Overwatering is death to them.
I’m doing okay I have had a ruff few weeks getting ready for 9th grade i went to pigeon forge last week for a vacation highly recommend going to places forge
😂I never turn your vids off before the last second because I love the way they end…..always have a little convo with yourself once you’ve signed off……You’re so funny 😂Had a few rubbish days recently and your videos always make me smile,so thank you. 🙏 ❤❤
I'm doing OK. I got some fairly devastating news a day ago. I am not one to quit, so I will carry on, but just not with AS MUCH enthusiasm. Thanks for asking. I know you really care. ~Mikio
I wanted to know how you met your bf and for how long you’ve been dating? ☺️ I was single for six years and met my (now) fiancé a year and a half ago and now we’re expecting our first child 🥰
With the new H series, I want the details and energy to be accurate to the book, and for the characters to really feel like the book characters (good and bad). Also, a proper Ginny and more time at the burrow like in the books.
I’m so happy things are going well for you. When I first subscribed ages ago you were in a bit of a dark place and were about to take a small break from RUclips. I’m so glad you’ve had a turnaround ❤
Tips if you want to get two cats. Make sure they like each other before bringing them home. My friend has 5 cats and three always get into fights and yell at each other. She basically had to teach them how to get along and now they fight like siblings. But yeah, make sure the are comfertable before so you don't have the headache after. Also yes, cats have their own personality so each is different.
I am so happy to have seen you cope with your mental health.. I am hoping to get to cope with my mental health as well.. I've been very stressed lately I just graduated high school and I got in to my dream university with my best friend and it was almost perfect, but I had to stop this year cause my family couldn't afford renting and to send me to school I've been very devastated after going through a lot of obstacles to get a slot in the university I had to give it up. I don't know if it's normal that I've been crying for weeks now.. I love youu your videos always cheer me up 😊
Last year Hearstopper was one of your recommendations, it just so happened Season One had already come out on Netflix and I loved it - since then I bought the Graphic Novels, including the colouring book, and eagerly look forward to August 3rd when Season Two starts - thanks for an excellent recommendation. Take care from sweltering hot Malta 🏖
I love watching and listening to your channel. I am exact same way with cleaning. I deep clean my place every week like clock work. One of the things I do is get up on a ladder and wipe down fan blades, and wash my walls swifter wet mop. Also those air glades I do love and use them often. I agree 100% on movies and tv shows. There is way too much to watch and to get catch up on. For books I have been reading all my life and still do every day.
Such a fun and upbeat catch up. For travelling to Aussie or New Zealand I would definitely recommend going via the USA. It splits the plane times into more even trips rather than one super long trip and a shorter one. We went via La and San Francisco for our trips and coming back stayed in them for a few days to explore and try sort out time differences haha. X
All those books are great I am on a waiting list for the fourth wing right now. Good books choices to read. I am about 80 books in this year so far. Love your channel
Hello Cherry! You're a very positive person, I'm watching you for I think a year or more and You always bring me joy. I have a cat for eight years now and I think it was the best decision in my life, adopting a cat. But I think You must prepare well fot that, because You have a lot of plants. Cats tend to eat leaves, and most of homeplants are poison for kitties, so if You will adopt a cat, You must store plants away from kitty. I don't want to be offensive or something, it's just an advice from me and form my vet friend. Have a nice day! Love you ❤💖
First, I would like to say I really enjoy your videos. Keep up the great work! Secondly, I would like to say congratulations on your personal life. I am so glad you're happy. You go, girl! 😊
I have been watching you since l**t box time. I am very glad your so happy. Your one of the RUclipsrs I feel like I am vested in you and so glad for your happiness.
I know you love your reed diffusers but please be careful with what oils are in them for the scents if you do get a cat as some essential oils are really bad for their breathing etc xxx love the vids keep em coming
I’m so happy for you and all you’ve accomplished! I’ve been single for a few years. I’m still working on self love. There’s a few Harry Potter items I’d love to have in my collection. Some of the Pottery Barn furniture, A Lochaven Gryffindor scarf, and when I was little I had a scented chocolate frog bracelet that I wore ALL THE TIME! I’d love to find that again. It literally smelled like chocolate!!! ❤
I’m reading that court of roses series atm and it is absolutely incredible! I couldn’t recommend it enough to anyone who likes mythical romance a bit of a thrill. My friend recommended it to me a week or so ago and I’m am already half way through the 2nd book. I can’t put it down
Cherry, PLEASE BE Careful OF CATS AND PLANTS!!!! So many are toxic to cats. Please do your research...but PLEASE DO GET A Couple OF CATS!!! 2 is better than one❤ 🐈❤️
I can tell Cherry how much happier a place you are in and that makes me smile. I hope that magic Love feeling keeps going. Your such a hard worker and I know your organization skills have really been honed . You have created such happy home zone. I am excited for your future things. ❤ I have a feeling I know who made that necklace. I I can recall her name. I don’t think she does it anymore.
So much information. Thanks for letting us in on your life. I seriously love your jumper in this video, so cute. You should definitely get a cat. My sister just recently got 2 baby kitties. Ollie is a striped grey, white and brown and his brother Ciaran is also striped but he is black and chocolate. He looks like a black cat at first but when you look closely he is black with chocolate stripes. We are having a lot of fun with them. Life is going well for the most part. There's always little bumps in the road. Love and peace.
Hi Cherry! I started reading a book series called “The severed realms” by T.A. Lawrence. The first book is “A Word so Fitly Spoken” and it’s amazing! I just wanted to share this with you because I know how much you love reading. It’s kind of 1001 Nights but with a twist. It’s honestly the first book targeted to adults that I found joy in reading (I’m 21 and I have a very particular taste in books). I honestly love it when you talk about your favorite books, it makes me excited about reading more! I want to challenge myself and read books that I might not reach out for normally. Could you maybe recommend a few books that had you unable to put them down? Love your videos and the amazing vibe you bring to them❤ Wishing you all the best!💖💕
If the new series fleshes out the missed lore opportunities from the films, I'll be quite satisfied. My biggest ask is for the Triwizard Maze to be more than just angry hedges. I NEED MY SPHINX! 🤣I'd also love to see OG cameos from whoever would like to participate.
1. If you are going to wait until 2024, I rec waiting further til 2025 to go back to Universal. Then you can see EPIC Universe and the NEW HP area. 2. My string-of-pearls is under a plant light and finally starting to grow. Originally it was under a desk lamp. It grows super slow though (I bought a little baby one in a tiny pot). I planted mine in my Wizarding Trunk cauldron so it looks like a boiling potion. It's adorable.
Hi cherry my name is Laura I have been under a lot of stress the last couple of years my mum was diagnosed with cancer last year and we are also trying to move so like to watch your vids as they instantly cheer me up keep up the good work xx
Hello Cherry! I would definitely recommend 2 cats. Don't really coast much than just one but they can play together. We have two with my husband and never regret it 🥰 They both have the same personality as we have. 😊 Always stay this lovely person as you are. Have a lovely summer. Greetings from Hungary😊
First off, I think you should make a full video about your thought on the new HP series. I know your channel isnt really about tv shows and its easter eggs but maybe you could do it for this series. Talk about the what youd like to see more of considering everything that was left out in the movie franchise. Or even what you have in mind of the recasting if it were up to you, like Hermione's for instance, if you prefer the recasting to be more accurate to the one in the books, or any other character for that matter. You can talk about all the parts and characters being left out from the book for those viewers who are hp movie fans who havent really read the book. I mean you can probably make several videos about those and then start doing review or reaction for each episode once it starts airing. Personally I wouldnt mind if they dont focus entirely on different time, like when Sirius, james and the gang were in school. I just hope we get to see more of the day to day life of the people there. Get to see how the school and housemade looks through out the school year,the different seasons. Like what they do during vacation if they're not staying at school or if they go back, and even those who goes back to the muggle world like Hermione. Or how muggle parents like hers live with their kid being a witch going to magical school and how the neighbours and how they talk about her to their other muggle friends and such. I mean the whole thing could even be from the POV of other characters instead of the trio and it wouldve been totally different. The trio is still going to be in it, while they still get to be the heroes they arent the main characters. Because I agree that even though the movies are old, they dont feel outdated, so having it from a different perspective would give something new for so many people who still have only watched the movies first, instead of making it look like the same scenes with different actors and sets.

I've just ordered this based on your recommendation as well. Thank you so much!
I also recommend this book! It has helped me who has a chronic condition & my husband who has adhd.
Cherry just feels like a warm, cosy beam of light that makes your mental health feel 10x better ❤
Damn that’s sweet 🥹
your so sweet ❤
Ugh so true.
Glad to hear you are setting boundaries. They are good for your good mental health.
Im doing well! I quit my job at 7:30 am and got hired at another at 8:30 am. I've haven't felt this happy in a while
Well done you! Rock on!
Congrats! I hope that your new job is what you're looking for. :)
that's a huge win!! congrats :)
What a power move 👏🏻🎉
Thanks for answering so many questions and giving us a little insight to your life, Cherry! So happy to see you so happy, it's radiant and contagious 🧡

When my son decided to get a kitten he got two from the litter.

I hope she writes the next one soon 🙏🏻
I'm sort of 50/50 with the Harry Potter series as well.
On one hand, i'm looking forward to seeing what they add and all the details that were missed in the movies. Whereas on the other hand, I sort of wish we were given something new.

Agree with the “something new” statement.
But newt (and his beasts) were an integral part of the fall of grindelwald? I know you meant no form of “fantastic beasts was bad” but there really isn’t much more to tell lol I mean unless you mean until he was actually captured but the blood pact is broken, I think we know how the story will end from here lol. I don’t think the movies just focused on “newt and his beasts”. Although I will agree that I would like a new non-Harry potter protagonist.
I was married for a long time, and after my divorce, I didn't know what I wanted to do with myself. I had been 'his wife' and 'their mom' for over half my life - I needed to figure out exactly who I am to find out who/what I want (and don't want), before getting into another relationship. Good for you, doll!! Glad you're happy! ❤
If I may ask, who's taking care of your kids now?
They're adults 😊 - both married with kids of their own.

I like people who set boundaries, they're my kind of people. Boundaries are healthy.
Im so happy that you’re happy with this mystery boyfriend! As much as it makes me curious to know who he is, I respect the boundaries that you’ve placed. I hope that everything will work out, and that he loves you just as much as all of us do! ✨☺️
The cursed necklace will look amazing on a stand like those they have in jewellery shops!
I managed to find one in a shape of a head, with black velvet and I display my Ravenclaw Diadem on it with a nice soft-light from above!
A black-velvet torso display should be perfect for the necklace!
I prefer it in the B & B box that I made for it 😃
I’m so happy for you. You’ve taken time to appreciate yourself and your own company, and you look so happy to be in a relationship, starting new chapters. Good on you Cherry, genuinely happy for you 💙
So happy you found someone to make you happy. Your sweater is giving Cheshire cat and I'm loving it. ❤
Get two! They’re smol! Plus getting kitties from the shelter who are bonded pairs is the awesome!
It's good to see you so happy! I am doing so well! I had a major fear that I overcame today, and I am so happy and proud of myself! Hope you all are doing well! Love this magical family so much!
Great update. Thank you. Two cats are always better than one. Then they have company. I love watching my cats play together.
Loved this Q&A-can relate to a few points made! Sometimes it’s nice to hear that it isn’t just you and other people go through the same things! Positive vibes all round 💕
I think the fridge thing has to do with how far I have to drive to get groceries its a 45min drive for me so I need to hold and buy large amounts at a time
Hi Cherry, I'm doing extremely well at the moment and it feels so good to genuinely being able to say that I am happy.
When it comes to travelling I can only recommend to do it at a time when you know you can afford and enjoy it because many people like to wait until they are old and retired but honestly at one point your body might not be in the best condition so do it as long as you can without feeling like it's exhausting to travel, you know what I mean?
Awwwe it’s so lovely to see you so happy. You were happy before but it’s lovely to see you glowing, mentally and physically. You go girl! ❤
So happy you found someone you want to be with cherry
I'm doing as well as I can, at the moment, to answer that question. I like the sweater, the color combination is very nice. what I have been looking for, is a letter opener that looks like the sword of Aragon.
For string of pearls, direct light on the top (crown) of the plant and only water when the pearls start to wrinkle a bit.
You‘re looking so happy and colourful (make up wise) since you have your new relationship. It suits you so well! All the best for both of you from Germany ❤
Thank you for recommending ACOTR!! I blew through the series!! Every time the dog asked to go outside I took a book.. Soo good
I need to carry on with it, life got busy when I started the third one ha! 😅
I’m so happy for you, the love for yourself and your partner 🌸🫶🏽 hope more happiness will shine in your life
Boundaries are good, only share what you're comfortable with. Congratulations! So glad you are happy and doing well!
Cherry, I'm glad you're doing well! Oh, I tried to tag you in a tweet last week just to let you know about a hardback lined journal I began recently--Advanced Meal Making, based on Advanced Potion Making in H-BP, which is neat handwriting in black ink of the original recipes with not-so-neat revisions/additions put in as needed. I do all the cooking for my elderly folks and myself, will *not* write in cookbooks, needed something w/ commonly used recipes I could write in and add to (still plenty of blank pages!), and was also inspired by your HP subscription box reviews. I keep Advanced Meal Making in a kitchen cupboard and refer to it when needed and add recipes when liked enough to put into rotation :).
I wish they would do a series following the Marauders through their years at Hogwarts and first few years into the first war. We all know how it will end, but it would still be amazing!
Me too!!!!❤
We so need books on the marauder's lives, Draco malfoy's life, the journey of tom riddle beginning from his birth to his death, Dumbledore's journey, the first war, the whole black family, Hermione Granger 's life before Hogwarts and after finding the wizarding world. Like, literally all these topics need to be formed into detailed texts rather than just a movie or untrue theories
A lot needs to be unraveled in the Harry Potter series!
I’ve recently been advised that I might benefit from bereavement counselling. Seeing your therapy journey & the comments from other subscribers is giving me the confidence to try it rather than assuming I can (& should) deal with my loss on my own
❤️❤️❤️
Aw you seem so grounded and assured and calm within yourself. That's so lovely to see 🩷 ✨ Would you like a Crookshanks cat? 😽
I'm really happy for you, Cherry! I love doing deep cleaning; I recently finished washing all the woodwork/ trim in the house. It does the soul good. If you have children one day, you will love having an American-style refrigerator.
Have a great weekend,
xoxo's Sandie
I really wish they were going to make the HP series as animated, like Studio Ghibli films! We wouldn’t have to worry about casting. I think it would be even more Magic and special.
You look lovely today. Good luck with your new relationship. Hope it goes well for you. You deserve all the happiness you've gotten. Take care.😊
It's so HEARTWARMING, to see you truly & Sincerely happy, with yourself & who you are, & now being able to share your love, joy, & happiness with!❤ I am turning 41, this October, & have been single for 20 years😢 Some of those years, has truly showed, who I am, & also just realizing you can't please everyone! & like you mentioned about, really getting to know, deep down what you want, & what you need that makes you happy. & if you can't answer what you want or need, & what makes you happy, THEN it's going to be extremely hard, to be with someone... I also have realized, you never stop learning things about who you are, no matter how old. I also had to become a stronger person, for I lost my mom, almost 5 years ago now, & I had to be strong for my father. Specialty after already losing a son, my older brother who is/was the middle child. I'm the youngest, & my oldest & now only brother lives over 13 hours away from my dad & I.. Yes at almost being 41, I still live at home..NOT by chose, but because of being in a MVA, when a van rain a STOP sign right in front of are car. I have had 2 Eye surgerys 1 back surgery, that the surgeon BADLY messed me up worse then I already was😢 pluse a neck surgery, & I have been now waiting 15 years sense the MVA to get BOTH knees replaced, & every 5 months I go & have my, lower back nerves, on my right & left cutt..
I would love to meet that special person, I find it a lot harder today, to really find THAT person. And I would really love to know, how did you find or meet your special person? If I over steeped, by asking that question I do DEEPLY apologize! How long have you both, now been together? Would REALLY love to know! Thank you Cherry, & I do apologize for the extremely LONG comment. I wish you only the best, & may every day be more LOVELY, HAPPYNESS, JOYOUS, & filled with LAUGHTER then the LAST day!❤😊
Love seeing you so happy and comfortable in your relationship! 🥰
You are absolutely a day brighter. From one fellow Wizarding World obsessioner to another, Thank You Cherry Wallis
I didn't know you lived with your parents for so long! It's very refreshing to hear as someone who's 28 and also still living with her parents (and younger siblings). Although it's kinda more common where I live than in most parts of the "western" world. These past weeks I actually started looking into renting an apartment because I finally have savings and income. But... the other day I was told that my company is struggling financially and they might not be able to renew the contracts of the newer employees - which includes me. So that's where I'm at right now. Just about to be able to move out, and then probably have that taken away in a couple weeks. :(
Yeah I think a lot of people do live with their families for longer these days, especially with the rise of cost of living etc! But I certainly couldn’t afford to move out until late 20s and even then I wasn’t sure if I’d manage.
Here to comment about cleaning…
As a professional cleaner I have some advice for those who find it impossible to keep their house clean and tidy… if it’s taking you any longer than 6-8 hours (depending on size) to deep clean (ie, dust, hoover, antibac, windows, surfaces, bathrooms, stairs, floors…) then you have too much stuff!
You should be able to deep clean a bathroom in 30-45 mins, take everything out, clean everywhere and put everything back… if emptying and putting things back takes longer than it did to clean then you need to reduce the amount of sh*t you’re buying or find better storage solutions ie. Boxes or baskets, this way you can take the basket out and put the basket back rather than each individual item…
Same with the kitchen, take everything off the sides, clean everywhere and put everything back…. If there’s too much stuff on the sides think about your storage… is there a cupboard you can empty or condense in order to reduce the amount of stuff you have on the counters at all times…. This helps with the cleaning maintenance as it won’t be as daunting every time you go to clean….
If you have pets try and hoover or dust daily (behind furniture too and this is where the build up will be) or at least 3x per week otherwise the fur etc will build up and become a nightmare for allergies etc..
Sounds harsh but the more you have the more you have to clean… we’re a society of overconsumption because we’re guilt tripped into buying new new new…. But realistically you can’t take any of it with you when you die… i just spent two weeks going through my grandmothers house and the amount of items that have accumulated over the years…. It’s unbearable…
My mum was there to help and has decided that she also has too much….
The more you have the less you value it, the harder it is to clean around it, life’s too short to spend 8hrs a week cleaning your house… if you can get it down to 3-4 then you’re onto a winner!!
Glad you’re doing well! Can’t get motivated to clean and organize my craft room but I am pretty okay other than that. 🤷🏻♀️ lol
18:05 yes all the time! I have a list of banned books to read as well as the list of various books awards like the Pulitzer. I have a list to shows/movies I want to watch. A list of places I want to travel and experience culture. I have a list of things I want to learn. So right now all I have are my lists and not enough time/brain to do it all!
I really want Hermione's pink dress from the goblet of fire in an adult's size xx
Glad things are looking up for you and all is well! Thank you, for your passion that you like to shared with us viewers!😻😻
I’m so so pleased
You have someone in your life that you can share so many special memories with x
Cherry so happy you have found someone to share your life with. I love your home vlogs especially your plant care and cleaning. 💖🤗🥰xxx
the monstera variegata (white spots) is natural grown, the monstera thai constellation (creme spots) is modified, the last one is the higher priced one
I rarely sit through whole Q&A's, but this one was really engaging and all the questions/answers where super interesting!!
How do you strike a balance between enjoying yourself and staying fit and healthy in terms of food choices and exercise?
Oh get a black cat, honestly the 2 black cats i have are so chilled there is just no words (both male) then i have my naughty tortoise shell, she's so pretty but a destroyer of everything (curtains, boxes... Anything!) Its a damn good job i love her 😂😂 i just wish she was as chilled as my boys 😂 x
Cats do better if they have company. Also if they are kittens together, grow up together, they are usually very amenable with each other. And you don’t have the issue of introducing a kitten to an adult cat or two adults to each other! I have had many cats in my life(12 total) unfortunately due to my age and the life expectancy of most of my cats( approximately 20 yrs) I only have one cat now. Unfortunately her friend died a couple of years ago. I had only had him for 10 years but he was a full adult when he joined us as a stray and raised my remaining kitty.
We so need books on the marauder's lives, Draco Malfoy 's life, the journey of Tom riddle beginning from his birth to his death, Dumbledore 's journey, the first war, the whole black family, Hermione Granger ' life before Hogwarts and after finding the wizarding world. Like, literally all these topics need to be formed into detailed texts rather than just a movie or untrue theories.
A lot needs to be unraveled in the Harry Potter series!
Good evening Cherry!!! I have been working a lot, and it is so hot that I haven't been feeling very good lately. Hopefully it will cool down a little soon. Thank you so much for sharing with us, and I hope you have a Blessed week!!
I live in a place where summers are very hot. Often multiple days over 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 Celsius) so my string of pearls and hearts like filtered sunlight outside. They hate the dryness of the house. They live under my patio roof that also keeps them protected from frost in the winter. Overwatering is death to them.
I’m doing okay I have had a ruff few weeks getting ready for 9th grade i went to pigeon forge last week for a vacation highly recommend going to places forge
😂I never turn your vids off before the last second because I love the way they end…..always have a little convo with yourself once you’ve signed off……You’re so funny 😂Had a few rubbish days recently and your videos always make me smile,so thank you. 🙏 ❤❤
Haha I do, I always wonder if people stick around for that! 😂
I'm doing OK. I got some fairly
devastating news a day ago. I
am not one to quit, so I will carry
on, but just not with AS MUCH
enthusiasm. Thanks for asking.
I know you really care. ~Mikio
Lots of love for you!
Hoping things feel a little brighter soon, sending love!
@@sponkianna8652 Thank you!
@@cherrywallis Thank you, Cherry!
I wanted to know how you met your bf and for how long you’ve been dating? ☺️
I was single for six years and met my (now) fiancé a year and a half ago and now we’re expecting our first child 🥰
With the new H series, I want the details and energy to be accurate to the book, and for the characters to really feel like the book characters (good and bad). Also, a proper Ginny and more time at the burrow like in the books.
I’m so happy things are going well for you. When I first subscribed ages ago you were in a bit of a dark place and were about to take a small break from RUclips. I’m so glad you’ve had a turnaround ❤
Tips if you want to get two cats. Make sure they like each other before bringing them home. My friend has 5 cats and three always get into fights and yell at each other. She basically had to teach them how to get along and now they fight like siblings. But yeah, make sure the are comfertable before so you don't have the headache after. Also yes, cats have their own personality so each is different.
I am so happy to have seen you cope with your mental health.. I am hoping to get to cope with my mental health as well.. I've been very stressed lately I just graduated high school and I got in to my dream university with my best friend and it was almost perfect, but I had to stop this year cause my family couldn't afford renting and to send me to school I've been very devastated after going through a lot of obstacles to get a slot in the university I had to give it up. I don't know if it's normal that I've been crying for weeks now.. I love youu your videos always cheer me up 😊
How are you feeling now? Hopefully better! Sending hugs from Brazil!
I started reading ACOTAR thanks to you, and I’ll never be able to thank you enough! I haven’t been able to stop reading since then! 🎉
This brings me copious amounts of joy!
Last year Hearstopper was one of your recommendations, it just so happened Season One had already come out on Netflix and I loved it - since then I bought the Graphic Novels, including the colouring book, and eagerly look forward to August 3rd when Season Two starts - thanks for an excellent recommendation. Take care from sweltering hot Malta 🏖
So happy that you're happy! ☺
your hair is literal perfection Cherry
I love watching and listening to your channel. I am exact same way with cleaning. I deep clean my place every week like clock work. One of the things I do is get up on a ladder and wipe down fan blades, and wash my walls swifter wet mop. Also those air glades I do love and use them often. I agree 100% on movies and tv shows. There is way too much to watch and to get catch up on. For books I have been reading all my life and still do every day.
Such a fun and upbeat catch up. For travelling to Aussie or New Zealand I would definitely recommend going via the USA. It splits the plane times into more even trips rather than one super long trip and a shorter one. We went via La and San Francisco for our trips and coming back stayed in them for a few days to explore and try sort out time differences haha. X
Going via Dubai or Abu Dhabi works really well too 🎉
I completely agree about the new HP-series!
All those books are great I am on a waiting list for the fourth wing right now. Good books choices to read. I am about 80 books in this year so far. Love your channel
Hello Cherry! You're a very positive person, I'm watching you for I think a year or more and You always bring me joy. I have a cat for eight years now and I think it was the best decision in my life, adopting a cat. But I think You must prepare well fot that, because You have a lot of plants. Cats tend to eat leaves, and most of homeplants are poison for kitties, so if You will adopt a cat, You must store plants away from kitty. I don't want to be offensive or something, it's just an advice from me and form my vet friend. Have a nice day! Love you ❤💖
First, I would like to say I really enjoy your videos. Keep up the great work! Secondly, I would like to say congratulations on your personal life. I am so glad you're happy. You go, girl! 😊
Please do a key collection video....really love your videos and I feel so cheerful to watch you❤
I have been looking for the Ministry of Magic necklace that Fudge wears in Order of The Phoenix. Almost bought one years ago but got out bid on it🥺🥺
I have been watching you since l**t box time. I am very glad your so happy. Your one of the RUclipsrs I feel like I am vested in you and so glad for your happiness.
Thank you Jessica!
I know you love your reed diffusers but please be careful with what oils are in them for the scents if you do get a cat as some essential oils are really bad for their breathing etc xxx love the vids keep em coming
I love that your hair clips match your eye shadow! Gorgeous choice ❤
I’m so happy for you and all you’ve accomplished! I’ve been single for a few years. I’m still working on self love. There’s a few Harry Potter items I’d love to have in my collection. Some of the Pottery Barn furniture, A Lochaven Gryffindor scarf, and when I was little I had a scented chocolate frog bracelet that I wore ALL THE TIME! I’d love to find that again. It literally smelled like chocolate!!! ❤
Me literally counting down the minutes 7:57, 7:58, 7:59, 18:00, cherry time ❤❤
I’m reading that court of roses series atm and it is absolutely incredible! I couldn’t recommend it enough to anyone who likes mythical romance a bit of a thrill. My friend recommended it to me a week or so ago and I’m am already half way through the 2nd book. I can’t put it down
A throne of glass is amazing I read the entire collection in like a month, couldn't put it down.
Cherry,
PLEASE BE Careful OF CATS AND PLANTS!!!! So many are toxic to cats. Please do your research...but PLEASE DO GET A Couple OF CATS!!! 2 is better than one❤ 🐈❤️
I can tell Cherry how much happier a place you are in and that makes me smile.
I hope that magic Love feeling keeps going.
Your such a hard worker and I know your organization skills have really been honed .
You have created such happy home zone.
I am excited for your future things. ❤
I have a feeling I know who made that necklace. I I can recall her name. I don’t think she does it anymore.
Hello I hope you’re doing well Cherry I’m going to watch this later but, whatever decision you make and you think it’s right I’m happy for you
So much information. Thanks for letting us in on your life. I seriously love your jumper in this video, so cute. You should definitely get a cat. My sister just recently got 2 baby kitties. Ollie is a striped grey, white and brown and his brother Ciaran is also striped but he is black and chocolate. He looks like a black cat at first but when you look closely he is black with chocolate stripes. We are having a lot of fun with them. Life is going well for the most part. There's always little bumps in the road. Love and peace.
Hi Cherry!
I started reading a book series called “The severed realms” by T.A. Lawrence. The first book is “A Word so Fitly Spoken” and it’s amazing! I just wanted to share this with you because I know how much you love reading. It’s kind of 1001 Nights but with a twist. It’s honestly the first book targeted to adults that I found joy in reading (I’m 21 and I have a very particular taste in books).
I honestly love it when you talk about your favorite books, it makes me excited about reading more!
I want to challenge myself and read books that I might not reach out for normally. Could you maybe recommend a few books that had you unable to put them down?
Love your videos and the amazing vibe you bring to them❤
Wishing you all the best!💖💕
i'm trying to get up the courage to go to therapy so you graduating is really nice to hear!! thank you!
I don’t think you’ll regret therapy once you’ve found the right person for you.
OMG you HAVE to read Fourth Wing! It's so good. The next one comes out in November!
Always excited when cherry uploads new video 🎉🎉🎉… I follow Cherry since i in university until now… watching her videos one of my hobby ❤❤❤
I really want the sword of Gryffindor but it's so expensive! Some day it will hang on the wall next to my Chronicles of Narnia sword. Someday.
If the new series fleshes out the missed lore opportunities from the films, I'll be quite satisfied. My biggest ask is for the Triwizard Maze to be more than just angry hedges. I NEED MY SPHINX! 🤣I'd also love to see OG cameos from whoever would like to participate.
Who else gets excited when cherry wallis posts new vids ❤
I do!❤
Same!
String of Pearls thrive on bright indirect light, but if you acclimate it to direct light slowly it'll grow there. :)
1. If you are going to wait until 2024, I rec waiting further til 2025 to go back to Universal. Then you can see EPIC Universe and the NEW HP area. 2. My string-of-pearls is under a plant light and finally starting to grow. Originally it was under a desk lamp. It grows super slow though (I bought a little baby one in a tiny pot). I planted mine in my Wizarding Trunk cauldron so it looks like a boiling potion. It's adorable.
Hi cherry my name is Laura I have been under a lot of stress the last couple of years my mum was diagnosed with cancer last year and we are also trying to move so like to watch your vids as they instantly cheer me up keep up the good work xx
Yes there is more coming for the fourth wing! It was so good. Also there’s 2 more books coming for ACOTAR
Hello Cherry! I would definitely recommend 2 cats. Don't really coast much than just one but they can play together. We have two with my husband and never regret it 🥰 They both have the same personality as we have. 😊 Always stay this lovely person as you are. Have a lovely summer. Greetings from Hungary😊
I’m doing wonderful thank you cherry ❤
Ahhh so agree with twitter I deleted it months ago, all I kept seeing was sad and negative things So glad I removed it ! Great vid ❤
First off, I think you should make a full video about your thought on the new HP series. I know your channel isnt really about tv shows and its easter eggs but maybe you could do it for this series. Talk about the what youd like to see more of considering everything that was left out in the movie franchise. Or even what you have in mind of the recasting if it were up to you, like Hermione's for instance, if you prefer the recasting to be more accurate to the one in the books, or any other character for that matter.
You can talk about all the parts and characters being left out from the book for those viewers who are hp movie fans who havent really read the book.
I mean you can probably make several videos about those and then start doing review or reaction for each episode once it starts airing.
Personally I wouldnt mind if they dont focus entirely on different time, like when Sirius, james and the gang were in school.
I just hope we get to see more of the day to day life of the people there. Get to see how the school and housemade looks through out the school year,the different seasons. Like what they do during vacation if they're not staying at school or if they go back, and even those who goes back to the muggle world like Hermione. Or how muggle parents like hers live with their kid being a witch going to magical school and how the neighbours and how they talk about her to their other muggle friends and such.
I mean the whole thing could even be from the POV of other characters instead of the trio and it wouldve been totally different. The trio is still going to be in it, while they still get to be the heroes they arent the main characters.
Because I agree that even though the movies are old, they dont feel outdated, so having it from a different perspective would give something new for so many people who still have only watched the movies first, instead of making it look like the same scenes with different actors and sets.
