    I'm so relieved that Gatsby seems to be on the mend for now. Even though our pets can't live forever, every extra day is a gift. I'm loving that the fall vibes are starting in your videos already! 😊

      Absolutely - we're lucky to have them but it's not for long enough!

    From someone who is obsessed with doing their nails:
    - Use a decent top and base coat (I use Essie's here to stay as a base and good to go as a topper) because it can make your nail polish last for weeks
    - Wait at least five to ten minutes (the longer the better) in-between each individual coat
    - Invest some actual money into the top and base coat because that way you can buy cheaper colored nail polish
    - Usually when nail polish doesn't seem to dry properly you have either not waited long enough between coats or your top coat is bad
    - If you want your nail polish to last extra long, wrap the tip with each coat of nail polish and add a new coat of top coat every few days (I usually do every four or five but it depends on how much you use your hands)
    - Bonus tip: use nail oil, it'll help prevent breaking
    Hope this helps you and everyone else who is trying to save some money on their nails

    Hi Ciara,
    I'm glad that you have found motivation and inspiration for your channel and that you are back with new vlogs.
    With all those sweaters, long pants and hot cups of tea you are making me dream about Autumn with its fresher temperatures and colder days. I'm located in Italy and I'm really fed up with the weather conditions (last Saturday I was out in Florence with 40° C!).
    All the best for your new job and I hope that Gatsby is getting better and better.

    I haven’t finished the video yet but I paused it to try to help w/ your shin splints. I’m a massage therapist and doing the stretch where you tuck your legs under you one leg at a time and lean back. In a kneeling 🧎🏾‍♀️ position. You can do both at the same time or one leg at a time and lean back. But stay over the shin so you feel in your shin and less in your quad. Also shin splints come from tight calves. Roll your calves out with a rolling pin. Hope this helps. 😀

    Sorry you didn't like flowers in the attic (haven't read it).
    I would like to try Jenny Colgan after you've spoken so highly. Have you read Katie Fforde? She sounds very similar and I always feel so uplifted after her books, I know what I'm getting and they sound quite like Jenny's.
    Shin splints are such a bugger!! I got them a lot, especially when I was running faster. They seem to have gone now, but I have to be careful with my achilles tendons...

And you’ve hit the nail on the head there with running, injuries seem to like travelling so I’m always between shin pain, knee pain and hip pain😬

    Life with pets is wonderful but it also has the flip side of the coin. As you said, pets will not be here, with us, forever. It still hurts to see them unwell. Our cat wasn't doing well in the spring time and me and my spouse thought that it will be the end of his life, the situation seemed really bad. But then he got new medication which changed the game totally. Now the cat's doing so much better and he's not in pain. So there is hope, and I hope that Gatsby will be fine and healthy!

    I’ve just finished the first in a series by Lauren Ruby called York and am ready to start the second. It really held my attention. I read most of it just today. It helped that the power was off so what else could I do?

Virginia Andrews seemed to have had an interesting life - there’s not much info about it but it seemed to mirror the storylines in her books. I actually preferred her Dawn series which has a similar dark theme/atmosphere.

    I read Flowers in the attic a couple of years ago and i remember that i had mixed feelings about it.The unusual and quite promising plot but the realisation... well wasn't good. The language was too simple (that maybe because we see the story with the teens eyes but still)..no proper explanation to the trasformation of the main heroine who firstly gave up money for love, raised and loved her children for like 14 years .and then ended the way she ends...and the rest of the family, they are all broken in some way but..why..i would like to see kind of insight into their personalities...And i remember enormous and boring descriptions of clothes and jewellery through the book.
