      Don't know if it's a fun hobby as much as something I'm doing to improve what my room looks like, but I'm currently cutting and sewing and stitching two curtains by hand 😂 I literally tied the two corners to a ladder and to a door knob (to stretch the fabric in a straight line) and I'm listening to this vlog while sewing :)

    Pro Tip on the colonoscopy prep… Get the softest toilet paper you can find 😁. Second…. Whatever they have you drink, 1) drink it through a straw 2) get that straw in the back of your mouth (essentially minimize contact with your mouth to avoid tasting it) and 3) learn how to swallow without “breathing”. What I mean there is swallow, and then let the air out your mouth instead of your nose if that makes any sense. So much of our taste is in smell. When we swallow, air comes out our nose. You want to try to avoid that. 😉 Trust me it will help! 👍

    Girl colonoscopies are fine! I’ve gotten used to discussing them because my family has a colon cancer history (I had my first screening at 32) it sounds embarrassing to bring up but it’s so important!
    The prep does suck- tho there have been improvements to it. (If you get a gallon jug of glorified salt water to drink I’d try and see if they other options that one is particularly awful)
    But the procedure is easy and millenials should be getting colonoscopies before their 50s because colon cancer is rising in our generation. And part of encouraging people to get checked is to lessen the stigma about having to get one. Taking care of your health is never embarrassing ❤❤❤

      @Bookswithemilyfox My mom had hers relatively recently this year and she said it wasn't as bad as she thought it would be. It seems to me from what I've heard from her that the prep is kind of the worst part. Idk what it's like in Canada but here you can pay extra to have anesthesia? Supposedly it's not advisable because it's better to be awake for the procedure? Idk, I'm not a doctor.

    I recommend Carceral capitalism by Jackie Wang about the link between racism, capitalism and the U.S Carceral system but it's an essay that requires concentration because it refers to several works and theories in social science. It's well documented and the chapters are short so it's best not to string them together.
    Thanks for this video !
    Glad to see that things are going well in your life ❤

    I just finished the Spellshop and it's exactly what you'd expect it to be, which for me meant a solid four star rating but it didn't leave me awestruck or anything. Still a safe choice and a book that feels (maybe a bit too much) like a warm hug.

    For your colonoscopy, you must listen to the Ologies episode to prepare. Aly Ward had a colonoscopy last year and she made a special podcast episode to prepare people for theirs, all the before and after the procedure. Good luck! 👍

    I know there’s a lot of books in this video but speaking on The Mountain Is You, oh giiiirl I was so excited for it when it came out and then I read it- the whole book was recycled generic material, nothing new and no originality, such a let down

    The way you pierced your ears again is literally how I do it every time I don't wear earrings for a while. And yeah don't put anything that is not medicinal metal or silver/gold until they heal.

    My grandma used Nivea and her face and hands were always extremely soft.
    I know almost nothing about skincare and even less about makeup because I just never got into it. Although I did dabble a little with basic brown tone eyeshadow, mascara, some concealer under the eyes and on spots and I liked putting on some red or dark lipstick when I'd go out to party. I think I wore makeup like that a couple of times and it would actually boost my confidence. I think a youtuber I watched and liked her makeup filmed her beauty routine and so I learned to apply eyeshadow with 3 tones. (Almost white in the inner corner of the eye, then creme and gradually a brown just under my eyebrow arch which is positioned above my iris. But I can't find the eyeshadow palette I used to use, I don't think it's made anymore.) I love the way black eyeliner looks but I can't apply that because I'm really grossed out by eyes, it's almost like a phobia.
    But I always felt I looked ridiculous when I would try to put foundation on and would always take it off before leaving the house and especially during the day. Maybe it's because I'm so used to the way my skin looks without anything? Because one time a friend who really loved makeup did my makeup for me at a sleepover and I kind of liked it but also didn't.
    Idk, but I learned something new today. Did I get it right, is it occlusive?
    I'd watch segments about both skincare and makeup, especially if they contain some tips or new to me information. Which isn't really hard to achieve because I know almost nothing. Like, what the heck is a tonic and should I use it? Why does my skin burn whenever I try to use cleansers once or twice a day? And I go for the ones that say are for sensitive skin...Why can't I ever get rid of blackheads on my nose even tho I tried those strips multiple times? Is my skin oily or dry or both??? Why do I come across contradictory information whenever I try to google skincare??? Idk 😂 But yeah, I'm not expecting you to answer my questions but I am *lost*😅

    I wasn't expecting to see Defekt in this video! I really liked that book but I wish it was a full length novel.
    From your nonfiction shelves, idk if you've read The Soul of An Octopus, but that definitely leans memoir but you do get some interesting facts about Octopuses and ocean science, but also very much about how her life and career have revolved around them. I liked it because it wasn't too technical and I found it to be an easy read for a nonfiction, but if memoirs aren't your thing then I'm not sure you'd give it more than a three star.

    I had a colonoscopy many years ago. The liquid diet isn’t bad but the liquid that cleans you out isn’t great. I’ll be due for another one in a few years.

I have sensitive and extremely dehydrated skin that tends to be red and itchy and this is a life saver!!

When i was 15, i wanted a third piercing, so i just picked the needle of a pin my mom used to wear and punch a hole 😂 i got a little infection and i still has a scar on my ear but when i tell this story, i feel so powerful 😂 also, now and then, when I wear earrings, i always have to push through because skin is covering the hole and it makes a sound like "pop" and my husband is so traumatized everytime I put on earrings! 😂😂

    I have personal beef with Amanda Montell because why the hell do the titles of her books not match the content ?! « Cultish: the language of fanaticism » had NOTHING to do with language, linguistics or cults! and « The age of magical overthinking: notes on modern irrationality » was a MEMOIR but never was advertised as such?! who is managing her and what do they keep doing this
