I've always been the type of person that showers at night. I love getting to "wash away" my work day and go to bed fresh and clean
yesss, it's the best feeling!
it really is! I'm slowly getting my partner to realize the perk of night time showers
@@cozyplantlady11
a long one to make up for my tardiness 🫶
Girl!! I got listen for the lie and kill for me kill for you too! I read the 1st one and almost done with the last one! I need to order more then 3 books a month (my other one was weyward which I read right away lol)
@@tarabrown6401 omg!! I can't wait to read themmmm. and so glad you read weyward! love that book so much 🥺
I'm sorry that happened to you Fern 😭 Bless that man for finding and returning your sunflower seeds 😂😭
I’ve been binge watching your vlogs for the past few days and just wanted to say that you’re such a sweetheart, love your personality and cozy vibes 🫶🏻 and I looove that your vlogs are long, I feel like I’m hanging out with a friend all day long
thank you so much, this means a lot! it's my goal to create that vibe for you 💖☺️
Tip for getting oil out of clothes: sprinkle with a generous amount of cornflour/cornstarch and leave it to absorb the oil (I usually leave overnight). Tip the excess into the bin and then run through washing machine. This always works for me - even after I’ve tried washing/stain remover first. I’ve even used powdered dry shampoo in a hotel room to get oil out of my boyfriend’s shirt and it worked a treat. Hope it helps!
cornstarch is so smart! thank you for the tip :)
omg the thief taking your bird seeds...lollll. Im glad you got it back! The stranger is one of a kind for bring it back to you.
I was thinking that the person who brought it back was indeed the thief feeling guilty.
Oh I can just imagine little Olive getting her teeth brushed. Love seeing the sweet pups all cuddled up 🧡🌿😊
"Where The Crawdads Sing" slapped, the movie was so beautiful w/ all the Spanish Moss and marshland.
yessss I loved the scenery too 🌊
Isn’t it nice to have the sun out when you’re cooking.
I am an introvert and a procrastinator. I used to fight it but I’m too old to worry and stress about it anymore.
PS If you’re in an iffy neighborhood you really shouldn’t wear the headphones while you run. Sorry, no offense, that’s the G-ma in me. Be safe!
Fern, I’ve said this before & I’ll probably say it again 😂 I LOVE your vlogs. You are so chilled, relatable & calming, I feel like I’m with a friend. I love everything you talk about and have literally the exact same interests as you. You are so inspiring too! I’ve just finished book 5 of the year, I’ve really got in to my houseplants, I’m meal prepping my vegan yummies even more, I’ve learnt how to do builder gel nails, I’m gardening a lot and I’m doing a ten week distance learning course online at home about mental health. I feel like you’d appreciate all those things and you’ve inspired me in relation to the plants and reading more especially. Thank you! 💚💚💚
awww yessss love this, it sounds like we are kindred spirits for sure 🫶☺️💞 thank you so much for being here x
Amazon package thieves are so common now. Really sad. I’m sure he tossed the package because he thought it was “baby stuff” since you said that’s what he stole, and knew you had him on camera, so he just chucked it. 😂 so nice that someone found it and redelivered it. A similar thing happened to me many years ago, but I didn’t get to confront the person. Someone stole my package and I noticed it was missing, and then later in the day someone was walking their dog and found the box, opened and contents still inside, ditched in the grass. They brought it to us, and I was shocked. What were these valuable contents that they discarded? Origami paper. 😂 love your vlogs Fern. 🪴
oh my gosh! so annoying. yeah it's getting super common, people follow the Amazon trucks and wait for their opportunity, ugh! I can't imagine they actually luck out with anything valuable very often.
T. Kingfisher is one of my new favourite authors. A House With Good Bones, The Hollow Places, and What Moves the Dead were all good reads…though I would consider them more creepy/horror-ish than fantasy. A Wizard’s Guide to Defensive Baking was also lots of fun and a little lighter than her others. Nettle and Bone is definitely on my TBR for this year.
A few channels that are helpful for mental health are: Therapy in a Nutshell, Doc Snipes, and Psych 2 Go. I hope this comment helps someone 😊
Oh, good luck with your garden, I know it will be wonderful. But deer and bunnies can devour it in no time.
Please do a face - skin care routine!
So sorry about that porch pirate! People are awful.
Nuthatches are so cute! They walk upside down on tree trunks .
Oh my gosh, the frogs! They're so loud! LOVE!!
right!!! 🐸
Berry bushes are so hardy! (especially raspberry's and blackberries).Dig them up in the spring before they start growing and plant them where you want them to live. Even if you don't get the full root system they will be fine. Once they establish in their new location they will go back to giving you berries. I've moved berries many times without issue (Canada, east coast). Good luck! :)
this is super encouraging - thank you!! I will get on it asap :)
Literally read My Dark Vanessa in 2 days, you will love it!! It’s a hard one emotionally but just wow.
Loved when you talk about books ❤and your toughts about it
As a fellow procrastinator I once heard someone say that the root of it is actually avoiding a feeling that the task brings up and not the task itself and that really hit home for me and changed how I view and approach my procrastinating. Idk if that is helpful (if so great, if not-that is okay too), but regardless you are at the very least not alone in this struggle! ♥
I don’t normally comment but always watching and loving ❤️
Please don’t not take brand deals because you think it bores us or we think anything bad. I know it’s extra work. But it’s a lot of extra money for you and you deserve it. You work your arse off and are always “on”. If you can make more money doing what we love to see then do it. Make your money girlfriend.
Just my two cents.
You know how honest I am lol
Always loving your vids. Your growth is top class. Keep killing it babe 💪🏻 xxxx
awe jen I appreciate this so much 🥺 thank you!! 💞💞
i was feeling so crappy, thank God for your cozy vlog popping up. i started watching it and it felt so warm, nice and comfortable i fell asleep. and i'm back finishing it of course. thank you so much 🎉
this makes me so happy to hear, so glad it was comforting 🥺 thank you for watching
I don't really ever wear makeup. I love makeup but I'm not that good at it. I wore it more in my 20s. I think I put some on like 10 to 15 years ago.
Omg I never understand why people steal Amazon packages, I can’t imagine they get good stuff most of of the time like have fun with my strainer, razors, and plant pots or whatever 😂
THIS lol. literally! it's always just random household things 😂
I always like your vlog series. It’s nice to see what goes on behind the scenes of what you do and what your life’s like.
Please read My Dark Vanessa first! It is one of the best books I’ve ever read. It’s heavy for sure, but I still think about it a year later.
Also I’m not a fantasy reader but I LoVed Divine Rivals! The writing is beautiful
ohhh this is fantastic to hear on both accounts! thank you! looking forward to reading them both 👀
Random question, but I’ve been wondering for the longest time what highlight you use on your nose and cheeks?
I don’t use any! I think my skincare leaves a sheen haha
@@cozyplantlady11 jeez that’s amazing 😮Thanks for responding!
OMGoodness!! I loved Where the Crawdads Sing!! I just cried through the movie! Also I have Verity on my nightstand to start now. I don't know how I stumbled on this channel but I sure am glad I did!
I will admit that I'm a little worried for your summer. You have a lot of garden ambition. I hope that you don't feel overwhelmed with how many plants you have in the house. Fingers crossed. I was also wondering about whether you would be trying "heritage" seed types.
That bird feeder is the cutest!!! Oh and plant seeds can last many years. The only thing you’ll notice is the germination rate will go down as time goes on. I know some people who have used seeds that were over 10 years old and they worked great. Also, if you notice west coast seeds price increases, you should check out baker creek seeds from the states. Even with shipping costs, their prices are often cheaper. All the best with your garden this year!
I regards to the deer fencing. Make it TALL! Those suckers can really jump. 😊
I couldn’t do the no make up look. I had to go two weeks after eye surgery without eye make uo on. put everything else on my face but I still had naked eyes. The minute I could put eye make up on, I did!!
I have a book recommendation…… house of salt and sorrows! It’s creepy and romance and really good
I love your book chats! You have really gotten me back into reading (even though I listen to the books not read them with my eyeballs)! ❤
If your planting something that you know will be attractive to the birds but bird netting to place over the top of the deer fence to keep the birds away.
Your makeup is always so flawless and beautiful! Please could you include your routine in a future vlog? 😍
Are you using a meal planning service or just going off the forks over knives app? The recipes looked so good!
I think you should read the one that is kill for me and I’ll kill for you. That even sounded good to me and I’m not a thriller girly
Love this long vlogs!🤍 please do your skincare video update, I’d love to see it!
just an idea, maybe you could plant a bush or some type of plant outside that the deer love to eat so they don't bother about your food crops and leave them alone because they can eat the other plant?
OMG! So scary and violating to have your stuff snatched off your porch!
right!! super unsettling
That’s was awesome someone found your package and returned it to you 💕😀
Yayyy I’m almost caught up on this channel!! 🎉 So do you watch Roots and Refuge on UA-cam? She has done lots of videos on building raised beds and trellises and fencing. She might be a good place to learn a few things about getting started! Absolutely love Jess! She’s written a couple of books too. Blackberries fruit every other year per branch I’ve heard. So if you have a branch that doesn’t produce…don’t fret!! The flowers are great for pollinators too. You are gonna LOVE the lettuce leaf basil! Great for wraps! Herbs like thyme can take FoReVeR to germinate and grow. Be careful where you put the feeder because the seeds that fall (if they’re seeds in a shell) will sprout and next thing you know you got weeds everywhere.
Glad you’re enjoying your food processor!! Don’t you just love those Rubbermaid containers? They’re my favorite!
So I just finished watching and I’m happy you got the shelled seeds!! And that they were returned to you! Gah what a jerk! I just started The Women after finishing Educated. Can’t wait to hear your final thoughts on Nettle and Bone. 😊💚
Garden works has west coast seeds and I’m sure little tree does too
Dear Fern and Olive, I recommend you to watch the YT channel Epic Gardening and Jacques in the Garden - for to get tips, tricks and inspiration for your garden. I wish you much luck. XX (P.S. as a fellow vegan I recommend you to put the flowers and leaves from Nasturtium to your salads - they are good for your bladder.) P.S.2 For insomnia I recommend you the ayurvedic tea Ashwagadha for good sleep. XX
oh thank you so much for these wonderful recommendations! I looove epic gardening, I have his book as well! I've also started watching Jacques. So much great info and inspo. I can't wait to try Nasturtium 👀 and I haven't tried ashwagandha for sleep but that's a great idea - thank you!! 🙏
The frogs! What the heck 🤣
Edit: I think I've commented this before but you need to read Uprooted! I've been rereading it lately. Beautiful, fun, emotional, adventurous, engaging fantasy book that's also kind of planty-ish haha
I'll have to check it out, thanks so much!
Hi Fern! I highly recommend The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater. It is YA but it did not feel that way to me. I think you’ll enjoy her writing style. It has very Scottish Kelpie folklore vibes and has an emotional ending. It’s one of my favorites 😊
I wanted to tell you that it must be such a weight off your partner’s shoulders that you can be home with Cadence as she’s aging. I’m so SO happy that your stories have come full circle even for the pups when they need you both the most. It’s so heartwarming to see in your videos❤️
Your sunflower bird feeder is so stinkin cute! I just got my first bird feeder and I’m so anxious for my finch family to find it 😂
Thanks for the recommendation! And yesss we are both so thankful that I'm able to be home with her, he always mentions how much he appreciates that 🥺 not sure what he'd do otherwise.
And I'm still waiting for the birds to find the feeder 😭 I moved it lower so it's more visible, but haven't seen anyone yet. I'm like hellooo 🥺
Try putting dishwashing soap on the oil stain. Dishwashing soap is meant to cut grease on dishes and i find it works well on clothes. Pour some directly on the stain and scrub the stain a bit with a brush. Then rinse and wash in your machine as usual.
I knew I should have done that lol! next time 🤞 (the stain remover helped, but I can still see it)
I read Dark Venessa. My jury is still out on that one. But a YA book I recommend is Eleanor & Parker by Rainbow Rowell. I just loved that book, it is so sweet. It has a permanent place on my bookshelf.
thank you for the suggestion!! :)
If you like thrillers and true crime podcasts I highly suggest reading None of This is True by Lisa Jewell. One of the best thrillers I’ve ever read 😵💫 also, thank you for your wonderful content 💜
I've read it and loved it!!!
Read The Women next! Such a good book, I could not put it down, and I literally cried for two days while reading it. 😭 Also, crazy about your package getting stolen! A few months back, someone went through all of our mailboxes and threw our mail all over the road 🫠 the heck!
oh I just know I'm going to love it!! and oh my gosh, people are wild!
You should DEFINITELY read My Dark Vanessa first! It is a VERY dark and emotional story but it is so well written that I couldn’t put it down. I gave it to my sister to read but it was too upsetting for her to finish it. I’ll be curious to see if you liked it.
I think I'll be reading it in April! thank you for watching :)
Really enjoyed this vlog. Really enjoy hearing about the different things you do such as meal prep, talking about books you are reading and hearing about your close girl friends and what you all are doing . You should do this type of vlog more often 😋yes and I think the no makeup thing is awesome too😎👩🏻🦰
Interesting seeing what you are going to be planting outside this spring… good for you . Yes keep the raspberry bushes as they are sooo refreshing with coconut cream or just on their own in summer … thx for all that you do
awe thank you so much for this! so glad you loved the vlog :)
Love the frog sounds! Makes me excited for spring🪻 Also, Dead of Winter by Darcy Coates is a great thriller/murder mystery that you might like!
I need to get my hands on that one, I’ve had it recommended a few times now 👀
Hey! where do you get your weekly meal plan? It looks delicious! Do you make it yourself?
Sorry if you answered that already, I’m a newby here lol
Love your channel!
Hi! No worries at all :) I’m subscribed to this meal plan: rainbowplantlife.com/mealplans/
Her recipes are my favourite and she has many fantastic ones and other resources on her UA-cam channel as well. Shes also launching a new cookbook (I am a big fan as you can tell haha)
A free option for meal planning that I’ve used in the past is the app Mealime and I loved it! It’s super simple and creates your grocery list etc.
Question for you. How do I keep my plants in the same size pot. I have several 6” pots and I don’t want to have to increase the cover pots. Do I divide them or trim the reports and repot back into the same pot? 🤷🏻♀️
hey! you could do either. if you're able to separate the plants you can divide them. you also can trim the roots down, the plant just may take a little time to settle back in and start growing. good luck :)
Legendborn was really good! I read the second one too. I didn’t find it complicated at all. Enjoy. I still need to read Divine Rivals.
oh good I'm glad to hear you didn't find it complicated 🤞
So they wasted an hour circling around to find stuff to steal, to steal bird seeds that ain't worth much and ditched it. Wow.
Some people bought container boxes that hide the boxes when someone drops them off, I would suggest that.
exactlyyyy, so silly! I've considered that, but apparently most of the drivers will still just leave the package outside the door. might be worth a try though if it becomes a recurring problem.
Hi Fern! Oh my, I miss the frogs sound so much now that I live in a city. It puts me to sleep so fast❤ ( I'm in New-Brunswick)
yes they are so peaceful 🥺 natures lullaby!
Livestock panels are super affordable, non-permanent, and if you can drive a metal post into the ground, you can install it.
They also sort of disappear into the landscape. It’s what I have for my dog in my backyard and it was such a great choice.
If it’s plants it’s not hoarding, what about books. Collecting or hoarding??
collecting 😉
Marigolds are a great companion plant.
The best way to get oil out of clothes is dish soap! Definitely works better on fresh stains but it may still work now that you've akready washed it. Just scrub the dish soap into the stain and rinse. :)
I need to do that next time, thank you!!
Tip from an RMT: hairspray oil stains before you wash them. I got this tip from a hairdresser and she said it works on hair dye too. Don’t ask me how
Omg that’s so random!! Good to know though 👀
Please get some cameras and a counter monitor and the app! People are crazy! Blink is a good, affordable option ❤
we have a camera but no counter monitor :( would be super handy to have one!
Was the package opened? Maybe it was the culprit who brought it back? 🤔
It was unopened! And no, it was a different man :) we chatted with him when he dropped it off.
you have chosen so many nice seeds!!! and nasturtium is also edible! ps. the frog concert was so cool!
ahh thank you so much :) so excited for spring!
where do you find the recipes you’ve been making? or where do you get them from❤❤
rainbowplantlife.com she is the best!
Is it worth getting a lock box thing for packages to be left in if you're not able to answer your door?
it might be! I've just heard that the drivers don't actually use them :(
Love your content and personality! Don't forget to eat your nasturtiums 🌻
Thank you! Will do! 😁
I would love to know more about your Discord book club. Is it private, or do you have a link?
It’s for my Patreon 🫶
Loved this vlog!
Hi Fern! I hope you're doing well! Our garden pests are groundhogs. We did a slapdash fence job last year to keep them out and that was a mistake. This year, we're doing a proper fence so we don't have to worry about it. My unsolicited advice: make your fence the way you want it to be, it will be worth it in the long term. I can't wait to see your garden! (I've moved blackberries, no problem. Your other berries should do just fine.) Be well!
Also, Divine Rivals is very sweet. ❤
A proper fence would definitely be ideal! My only problem is that I'm not 100% set on how I want the garden to be, so I feel like something temporary is the only thing that's going to work until I have things arranged how I want them. So hard to decide everything 😅 and glad you hear you liked divine rivals 🥺 thank you so much for watching x
I have never had success growing a watermelon big enough to eat the middle. 🍉I’m in zone 2b. This year I found seeds from a northern Ontario gardener and they are blacktail watermelons (dark skin like yours) Buying seeds that are adapted to the areas climate are supposed to be more successful 🤞🏼
Stain remover, stick if possible. I use one and it took the butter drip out of my shirt where I dropped. Piece of bettered popcorn. It started as a drip and spread out about a total of 2 cm. But it came out. It was working for about 26 hours before I threw it in the laundry.
Kill for me kill for you sounds RIGHT up my straat. *Adds to Goodreads* TBR list ✔️ THX!
Yes the bambi's are back. Mine showed up last night after being away for two months. I can't wait to see what you do with your gardens. I think the berry bushes can be moved but before they are in growth ( I think) couldn't you put them along the property line between you and your neighbors and put a fence behind them or along your house? Anyways can't wait to see what you do. Gardening is not at all difficult.😊
I dont think the blackberries will be too much of an issue. We had a blackberry patch near lots of flowers and peony bushes and everything thrived just fine.
You have great skin... what do you use? What is your routine?
thank you so much! everything I use is from The Ordinary. I'll be sharing my skincare routine soon :)
Well Hi HELLO! I just appreciate you soooo much... I have had a very hard 7 months and coming on here just perks me up.. kisses to Olive 💚🐶
I would honestly plan your garden around leaving the raspberries as is. You can move them but they wont produce any berries this year, and probably very few next year.
For brushing dog teeth- definitely take this with a grain of salt but my vet has always told me that just focusing on the outside of the teeth is fine. It’s something about the inside having more saliva and getting more movement than the outside. Apparently it’s when the teeth get dry that they’re more susceptible to infection 🤷♀️ hope that eases your mind lol
Trim the blackberries back down that more light gets in and there are more berries to pick. Yumm! The raspberries, you should be able to dig them up and transplant them somewhere else.
Nasturtium are another great companion plant. You can eat the flowers too. They are used in restaurants for both garnishments and eating. Enjoy them.
Potatoes can keep in a cooler spot after you dig them up. So plant three potatoes and some other root veggies like carrots and parsnips, and beets. All could be grown in those bags you got.
If you’re starting indoors, you don’t necessarily need a heat mat for tomatoes, but it does speed up the germination and early growth. Now that you have a heat mat, you can even try growing succulents or cacti from seeds.
omg fern im obsessed with your green sweater! where did you get it? 💚
thank you!! American eagle :)
I’m so glad you are liking Nettle and Bone! I knew you would! Once you get in to fantasy, it opens so many new worlds. 🩷
Jumping right into this ❤ was just hoping for something to watch, the notification came at the perfect time!
I'm super interested to hear the first hand experience with the thief 😂😅 (verbally instead of reading it in the discord lol)
hahaha 😆 enjoy! happy Monday 💞
@@cozyplantlady11Happy Monday!! ☺️🥰
The frog ribbets are amazing!!!🐸🫶🏼💚
right!! 🥺🐸
A really good show to watch that has the true crime podcast theme - Only Murders in the Building
another great video fern, thanks for feeding us 😍
My pleasure 😊🍴 haha!
The frogs!! 😝💚🐸 I love that, reminds me of summertime and childhood.
Growing all that will be A whole lot of time and work!😮
Yes haha I’m sure it will be quite laborious!
There are many of those seeds that you could plant in the seed cups with the heat pad. Like the watermelon.
That looks very pretty what you decorated.
Thank you! 😊
Good luck with your fence project!
thank you 😅😅💚
happy monday fern!!! hope you have a great week ☺️
Happy Monday 🥹 thank you so much! Enjoy the vlog x
Nasturtium are edible ❤️
oh that's amazing to know :)
