I really appreciate that you're not too perfect, I like watching organisational videos but sometimes end up feeling a bit down on myself, so the honesty makes all the difference. It's the same as that bit at the end of your book when you mentioned all the times during the writing when you hadn't been able to follow your own rules - that to me makes you more helpful and applicable! Please don't become too perfect!
I found this video very helpful. I have a very hectic life, with full time job at 3 different locations and long hours. I feel exhausted when I’m finally off and I also feel like crying sometimes because I’m so overwhelmed with it all along with running my home and giving time to my partner. This video made me realise that most of us have these issues and we have to find happiness and joy in small things.
I met Anna yesterday at the London book event, and honestly one of the nicest people I have ever come across. So warm and bubbly and just genuinely down to earth good egg. Stick a fork in me I’m done is now my go-to catch phrase and your book is absolutely stunning! I wish you every success with it all as people like you deserve wonderful things! X
Awww you’re so lucky. I wish Anna would come to Australia one day. She puts out such a warm, genuine and positive vibe and it would be amazing to meet her in person.
I was tired just listening to what you have done in a week. Being a borderline introvert I always need to go home and recharge. Have a beautiful day get some rest girl! Your an inspiration! Love & light!
I’m feeling the ‘I just need to see my mum’ vibe! Stuck at uni over half term prepping for an assignment but watching your video has made me feel much better so thank you!! X
I have a video idea for you. How do you keep your house clean while having so much going on in your life? My husband and I have both been insanely busy with our careers lately and our household cleaning has suffered as of late. Our house is just a bit grim all of the time, I try to clean some every day but I am so exhausted when I get home from work I just can't seem to ever get totally on top of the cleaning. What are your tips for organizing household cleaning tasks?
Loved that you shared that weird "I want to cry feeling but I don't know why". I just started a new job and I kept getting that feeling! I figured out that I was just missing my old routine and felt kinda "homesick" in a way, didn't see my hubby or dog babies as much! Best way to beat it is to take a whole lazy day off! so thanks for sharing, made me feel super normal lol. Hello from LA xo.
This video came just at the right time. I’m also feeling very overwhelmed with work and have an impending deadline that I feel like there’s not enough hours in a day to get everything done. I’m spending 80-100 hours a week at the office and have been having mini panic attacks the last few days. I’m feeling a little more relaxed today - thanks for the reminder for self care and taking a step back to breathe. I’m lying on the couch watching RUclips for the first time in weeks and loving it :)
This is my favourite vlog I've ever seen- thank you for sharing your struggles in such a sweet and positive way. Seeing someone take control of their mood and feel better and better throughout the day is the best way to be inspired, and I really needed this just now! Much love.
This is such a great video, Anna! You’re probably the most positive person I’ve ever come across...and watching you in these vlogs is always a pick-me-up. You make me want to be more productive, eat better, live better, focus on the things that really matter and generally make the best use of my time. Thanks a million for sharing your energy. 🙏🏽😍
I was watching this video on my day off from work where my plans were to do NOTHING aside from watch Dirty John and eat easter eggs. Now, I have made my bed, washed my makeup brushes, done a hair mask and face mask, and I'm going to meal prep for the week. Thanks Anna, you're the best.
I am 1:02 into this video and oh my goodness Anna YES. This weekend that's how I've been feeling and it is so bloody reassuring to hear someone else just say this out loud... LIKE this video already x... proceeding to hit play
I definitely feel so much better when I can get my main meals sorted for the next few days and knowing what I'll be cooking when I get home from work. Also, getting my dishes cleaned and the kitchen clear felt really good tonight and it'll be so nice to get home tomorrow to a clean house!
Oh hun I hear you! I'm having the roughest of weeks - work and studying deadlines have me so overwhelmed... so I took a day off , treated my face, made lists in my BuJo and did some painting. I'm feeling a bit better so I hope you are too!
I am so with you. I was away at camp for 3 days and then at my sister’s and I felt so much better when I came home and tidied, washed and bought some flowers.
For your money problem, use Splitwise. It's an app where you can put every expanse in and with whom you're going to split it. The app then tells you how much everyone needs to pay to one another. Super easy and super helpful 🙂
This is so fascinating to me. I love being able to see what items are PR gifts, because it gives important context to the abundance of high end and luxury products, clothes, etc - this kind of thing isn’t necessarily realistic.
I need to recharge at home too, I get so overwhelmed especially if I’ve agreed to doing too many things throughout the week or if I have many client meetings throughout the week which requires me to be really “switched on”. I’m a massive introvert, I feel physically exhausted if I’m around people too much. I LOVE laying in bed, watching movies alone or reading. (Speaking of reading...I’m SO excited because I pre ordered your book a month ago and it will be arriving in the mail in the next couple of days!!)
This is probably one of my fav videos you have done. It was so insightful and encouraging. I will be implementing your tips to feel better right now! Need to pull out the bright jumper asap. I also appreciate your authenticity. 🌸🌸 You beautiful human. Thank you for sharing! 🌻🌻🌻
When I saw the clothes airer I was like “yes! Anna knows how to keep it real”. So agree, sometimes I just need to spend a morning doing some tasks at home and then I feel much less overwhelmed - glad you’re feeling better! X
Hi Anna! I just rewatched some of your old video and this one was perfect as I have been feeling this kind of feeling overwhelmed end of the week / end of the month feeling yesterday and today, the weekend is finally here :D I wanted to say thank you, your video got me through this afternoon in a cherry more motivated way. And I am excited to rewatch the March videos now :) One question I had, may I ask where you got the super practical recipe card folder from? I too am collecting the Hello Fresh recipes that my partner and I enjoy and this is a handy way to store them and refer to them whilst cooking along. I would love to know :D thank you in advance - I hope you see this comment! I am so excited to see your lovely home tour video on Sunday! (really cannot wait to sit with a cup of tea and watch on Sunday morning!) I hope you have a lovely weekend xx
Yesterday at the Habitat Westfield signing you said this video was one of those ones you film when you have no inspiration, but I loved this video! Thanks for always creating such great quality content 😘
Thank you for this video - I needed it! Had a really shit migraine yesterday after doing loads of errands, work's been really full on, it's the half term so all 3 children are here which which is lovely but alot, I have heaps of coursework to do, I don't have any holiday from work coming up until August, and I'm going away at the end of the week....I was feeling super overwhelmed (probably what caused the migraine!) Your positivity and relatability have cheered me up so much. And that dinner looked delicious, I'm going to copy it tonight!
I wasn't attracted to the title initially, but I thought "You always love Anna's videos" and alas! This video was exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you for always producing top quality content! This was great, I am looking forward to March! You got this!
Hey, Anna! I really want to purchase your book - I'm so excited to! I understand the overwhelmed feeling... I'm a health science microbiology major here in the states and I understand about feeling stretched thin :( You're great, and watching your videos gives me a great break from my work :)
When I feel that way, my husband and I say we need to Get Life Under Control, or GLUC. Sometimes we say "Omg, we need to GLUC!". LOL!! Makes us chuckle. Exactly the same for us. Laundry. Cleaning. Food prep. Finances. All those random house chores that get put off.
I had a week like this last week, and a subscriber of mine called them my days fragile days haha! Sending you love, Anna! I was a bit worried how your introvert side would be coping with all these book signings!! Xx
Great video Anna. Absolutely love your at home vlogs. I also find that talking through my plan for the week (even if to myself) gets my mind at ease. Hope you have an amazing week and can’t wait till a new video every day in March. Oh and I definitely need to invest into a bright pink jumper. 💕💕
Hi Anna! I’m moving to the UK soon from LA, since you’ve been to both places it’d be really cool to see a video of the differences you’ve seen between the people, shops etc...
can i ask you how you clean your and other stories black sweater? Mine is constantly lint city and i can't seem to clean it effectively, everything sticks to it!
Ditto! I trust in all of Allana's recommendations, which obviously included subscribing to your channel! BTW I kept thinking how much you look like Lucy Hale while I was watching this x
Anna I literally love every single one of your videos. I think I have an edited life hack for you.... a heated clothes dryer! They’re from Lakeland but I got mine from QVC they only use 6p of electricity an hour and it’s literally changed my life! I felt like you’d appreciate this! 💕
Can you recommend any hydrating hair masks? I find my hair gets really dry and would love to try one that someone thinks is good as I've tried one from Boots.
I have a FT job, travel often, am a PhD student, and a mum. How do you carve out time for exercise when you are busy? This is the area I always fall behind in.
Laura Valle wow! You must be super busy. I’m a mum and I think the problem with exercising when you’ve got children is it’s so easy to not prioritise your self. You might set aside time to exercise and then your family or work gets in the way. I can’t get the balance right and I’m not studying for a PhD!
OMG when you said what Netflix documentary you were gonna watch, I was like "wait till they get to THAT bit". It's like the Fyre Festival Evian guy gets a challenger....
I hate that feeling. When your down because you've been doing a lot even though it all been great things. It happens to me too and it makes me feel almost guilty/frustrated for feeling that way.
I love these videos! I relaxes me watch you do your thing lol {is that weird? } I watching you cook quick meal is a plus! Congrats Anna again on the book!
Thank you Anna, great video! That meal looked amazing! Thank you for just being real and sharing! I would love to know more about your partner if he wants to be a part of your videos, he seem like a charming fella! I came over from Alana’s channel because of your wonderful videos together, I’ve been subscribed for quite sometime from when you two did something else together, but I’m definitely going to watch you more and am excited about March! I want to look back in your videos and figure out what your book is about! Thank you again!
I’m going to start my semester abroad in Peru in 2 weeks, and I’ve never left Europe before- I’m so nervous and so worried about missing out on r&r. If you can make 30 videos a day with such intense planning g skillz , I can make it to Peru! Xx
Hi Anna! I am trying to buy your book, but it isn't available on amazon in my country at the moment. Do you know when it will be available in italy? Thank you :)
I really appreciate that you're not too perfect, I like watching organisational videos but sometimes end up feeling a bit down on myself, so the honesty makes all the difference. It's the same as that bit at the end of your book when you mentioned all the times during the writing when you hadn't been able to follow your own rules - that to me makes you more helpful and applicable! Please don't become too perfect!
I agree admitting she’s not perfect makes Anna more relatable

Awww you’re so lucky. I wish Anna would come to Australia one day. She puts out such a warm, genuine and positive vibe and it would be amazing to meet her in person.
I find it really impressive and that whenever you say « I’ll link it in the i » that you actually always do 😂❤️

Oh wow, your content plan until the end of March looks very intimidating... Good luck with the challenge!

your relaxed day is my most productive day. the meal looked soo good!!!
Watching your videos always makes me feel more positive and grateful. Thank you xx
Lital Castel dame! That’s how I always feel xx
This is such a great video, Anna! You’re probably the most positive person I’ve ever come across...and watching you in these vlogs is always a pick-me-up.

Yes, completely know that feeling

Anna this has helped so much, I am self employed and struggle to not feel overwhelmed. You are so great sharing that you aren't tip top 24/7!
Hope you get feeling better, lovely! You're such an inspiration. Thanks for all your wonderful content!
So excited for The Daily Edit!
Perfect video for a Sunday! So good to hear that i’m not the only one who has days where I feel rather crap for no reason. Loved the video x
We had that for dinner this week too. So yum! xx
Thank you for this video, Anna.
I love the way you're so authentic.
😍
How do you keep your house plants looking so good?! Can you do a video on tips and tricks on house plants and the ones you have?
Oh hun I hear you! I'm having the roughest of weeks - work and studying deadlines have me so overwhelmed... so I took a day off , treated my face, made lists in my BuJo and did some painting. I'm feeling a bit better so I hope you are too!
What a fabulous video! Loved it
I absolutely loved this vlog, it just felt so cosy and homey! Can’t wait for The Daily Edit either 😊
I am so with you. I was away at camp for 3 days and then at my sister’s and I felt so much better when I came home and tidied, washed and bought some flowers.
For your money problem, use Splitwise. It's an app where you can put every expanse in and with whom you're going to split it. The app then tells you how much everyone needs to pay to one another. Super easy and super helpful 🙂
Sorting stuff out ALWAYS helps, it's like therapy. Loved the video!
Great video! Excited for March with you!
Yay for the Daily Edit in March! I'm so excited. Good luck! P.S. Any video from you is a fab video!
Really enjoyed this xx

Really enjoyed this vlog, the pink jumper made me feel very positive and it was reassuring to see others feeling overwhelmed by life like myself!🤗
When I saw the clothes airer I was like “yes! Anna knows how to keep it real”. So agree, sometimes I just need to spend a morning doing some tasks at home and then I feel much less overwhelmed - glad you’re feeling better! X
I am so PUMPED for the daily edit! You got this Anna :)
“I’m going to let my spots have their moment” brilliant Anna 💕
self care is always the way forward i'll follow some of these for sure x
This is hands down your best vlog ever! Loved it xx

Anna so glad you are feeling better - I was having a low day, then the doorbell rang and the UPS Man delivered "The Book!" Woo-Hoo!!!
Love the video. The pink sweater looks SO nice on you!!
Awe Anna, hope you were able to spend some time with your parents. Such a nice video!
Yesterday at the Habitat Westfield signing you said this video was one of those ones you film when you have no inspiration, but I loved this video! Thanks for always creating such great quality content 😘
Hi Anna, whats the name of the color paint on the back ? is it Farrow&Ball? the blue/green
I'm so looking forward to everyday March vlogs. Love you Anna.Thanks Connie:-)
Thank you for this video - I needed it!

Just went away for the long weekend and came back to your book waiting for me in my mail box. I can not wait to dive into it! 💕
Meal looked yum!!
Can't wait for daily videos :) so excited!
Cannot wait for March!
Silly question, but where did you get your clothes drying rack?
When I feel that way, my husband and I say we need to Get Life Under Control, or GLUC. Sometimes we say "Omg, we need to GLUC!". LOL!! Makes us chuckle.
Exactly the same for us. Laundry. Cleaning. Food prep. Finances. All those random house chores that get put off.
Did you say that you created your calendar chart in Pages?
I had a week like this last week, and a subscriber of mine called them my days fragile days haha! Sending you love, Anna! I was a bit worried how your introvert side would be coping with all these book signings!! Xx
such a helpful video! also curious as to where you clothes drying rack from the beginning is from?
Great video Anna. Absolutely love your at home vlogs. I also find that talking through my plan for the week (even if to myself) gets my mind at ease. Hope you have an amazing week and can’t wait till a new video every day in March. Oh and I definitely need to invest into a bright pink jumper. 💕💕
Hey there I am here for the first time saw u on Allana s channel so very glad I found u I am here to stay thank u for being so honest and sharing!!!
Hi Anna! I’m moving to the UK soon from LA, since you’ve been to both places it’d be really cool to see a video of the differences you’ve seen between the people, shops etc...
I find your videos so relaxing 👌💕
can i ask you how you clean your and other stories black sweater? Mine is constantly lint city and i can't seem to clean it effectively, everything sticks to it!
Can,t wait for daily videos! Lots of love from madrid, sending virtual jamon iberico wine and tapas :)
You’re are just so normal Anna! 💗
I went to buy your book from chapters in Canada and they are sold out in stores and online.
I’ve just subscribed, after vlogs with Allana, and your video is so amazing! 👌👌👌👏👏👏💕💕💕💕
Thank you for subscribing! x
Ditto! I trust in all of Allana's recommendations, which obviously included subscribing to your channel! BTW I kept thinking how much you look like Lucy Hale while I was watching this x
I loved this video so much, don’t know what you were talking about yesterday! Xoxo
ohlala can't wait for your videos in March!!!
Anna I literally love every single one of your videos. I think I have an edited life hack for you.... a heated clothes dryer! They’re from Lakeland but I got mine from QVC they only use 6p of electricity an hour and it’s literally changed my life! I felt like you’d appreciate this! 💕
This video is great! Just what I needed x
Emily Sleight I agree haha xx
Can you recommend any hydrating hair masks? I find my hair gets really dry and would love to try one that someone thinks is good as I've tried one from Boots.
I adore your humour
I love the pink on you, it really suits you.
It's 3 am in Chicago but I love your videos! Might have to try HelloFresh soon for sure. Love your videos, Anna!
ilma each country offers different recipes so the US ones will be quite different from the UK offering.
My school had OFSTED this week so my head is sooo foggy. I'm doing all of this today. Xx
I have a FT job, travel often, am a PhD student, and a mum. How do you carve out time for exercise when you are busy? This is the area I always fall behind in.

You might set aside time to exercise and then your family or work gets in the way. I can’t get the balance right and I’m not studying for a PhD!
That's what I did the other day. Adulting 101. Felt so much better after doing my little spreadsheet...on track!!!
Oh I just felt for you in the start of the video. Feeling overwhelmed is not fun at all! Hugs and kisses!
Hi. Where is your mirror vanity unit from??
Can't wait for my daily Anna hit in March😃
So excited xxx
Reading your book a little at a time as in my final year of my Hons Degree and already downloaded CloudCal. Love it x
Had the exact same menu as you this week haha, loved the jackfruit burgers so much!
Yasss! Pages 4ever!!!
OMG when you said what Netflix documentary you were gonna watch, I was like "wait till they get to THAT bit".
It's like the Fyre Festival Evian guy gets a challenger....
If you’re still looking for ideas! Would love to see favourite home workouts or fitness related edited life (capsule wardrobe?)
I hate that feeling. When your down because you've been doing a lot even though it all been great things. It happens to me too and it makes me feel almost guilty/frustrated for feeling that way.
Just when I think I can't love you any more, you say Ticket to Ride is your fave game 🤸🏼♀️🤸🏼♀️🤸🏼♀️
Very helpful video
I love these videos! I relaxes me watch you do your thing lol {is that weird? } I watching you cook quick meal is a plus! Congrats Anna again on the book!
Have you played settlers of catan? I think if you like ticket to ride you'd really like it!
Thank you Anna, great video! That meal looked amazing! Thank you for just being real and sharing! I would love to know more about your partner if he wants to be a part of your videos, he seem like a charming fella! I came over from Alana’s channel because of your wonderful videos together, I’ve been subscribed for quite sometime from when you two did something else together, but I’m definitely going to watch you more and am excited about March! I want to look back in your videos and figure out what your book is about! Thank you again!
I’m going to start my semester abroad in Peru in 2 weeks, and I’ve never left Europe before- I’m so nervous and so worried about missing out on r&r. If you can make 30 videos a day with such intense planning g skillz , I can make it to Peru! Xx
Hi Anna! I am trying to buy your book, but it isn't available on amazon in my country at the moment. Do you know when it will be available in italy? Thank you :)
Angelina93 I’m in Italy and I received mine last week from amazon. It’s in stock and available with prime shipping.
