Fall Reading Vlog 🍂📚 self-care & slowing down with cozy books & video games
Hello to November! After the hustle and bustle of the past few months, this new month is inviting us to pause during this in-between time that is fall and the holiday season. In this video I have a slow weekend at home, chat about some books, including a mini reading vlog for "One Dark Window" by Rachel Gillig, and share some cozy Nintendo Switch games I've been playing recently. Hope this can bring some cozy comfort to your week!

    what a lovely vlog! i am definitely a late november/ early December holiday season person! to go directly from halloween to xmas is too much😂 i used to be a YA reader but now that I am not a young adult I find the writing style doesn’t appeal to me as much as adult fiction does! wishing you a wonderful month full of self care <3

    What would be a realistic approach to making a career change to become an archivist? I have a bachelor's in communications and 6 years of office work/ 4 years in media production. I love history and recently got into loose reading as a hobby and I'm looking for a more meaningful and interesting career path. Thanks!

    Archiving sounds really cool. I like organizing things and am interested in art and history (mainly art lol). I always thought this career was intimidating because I could never figure out what degree is needed. I'm fixing to graduate from community college and need to figure out what to do for the rest of my life. This video was very helpful

    • @SheilaJoy
      @SheilaJoy 24 дні тому

      so glad to hear it was helpful to you! I didn't know you could become an archivist until I was in my second or third year of college so there's definitely not much info out there.

We are the biggest town for hundreds of miles. One smaller town about 11 miles away from us and then about 45 minutes to the next tiny town (of less than 100 people). Next town near our size or larger is over 2 hours away. Haha!
