would love to see a ‘reading fall books for a week’ or something. Maybe like try like halloween ish books since it’s the start of the spooky season. 🫶🏽🫶🏽
ooo i have a few ideas - reading books outside of your comfort zone for a week - revisiting books youve previously dnfed - reading subscribers fav books sorry if uve already done these!💓🥰✨
@@lindsayjohnson5672 I’ve gotten so many messages from people who have gone through (or are currently going through) a similar situation. I’m so glad we have this community to help each other feel less alone in times like this! ❤️
Video ideas: - series you’ve completed, series you’re in the middle of, series you’re really excited to start - favorite romances - favorite standalone books
Maybe you could do a vlog going to the library and picking out a book there to read! I get most of my books from the library and they actually get a lot of new release books 😊
Another great vlog! I have a random idea for a future video: why not try to make meals inspired by some of your favorite books! At my book club, we olan on trying to make one meeting with reasing a book that has been adapted as a movie, and then meet to watch the movie all together and discuss both the book and the movie, so that could also be something that you could do 😊
Every time I get a notification for your video, I feel excited and can’t wait to find time in my schedule to watch it. Your videos bring me so much comfort 🫶 Howl’s Moving Castle is one of my favorite cozy watches❤️
I can relate Jamie to others being happy. Please keep doing the weekly vlogs. I think a long interview is a good sign. I hope you can incorporate fitness into your weekly vlogs as a compromise since you dont want to do strictly fitness. Good luck.
Good luck on your interviews!! 🥰 I’ll watch any book content you make haha but maybe a blind date with a book type video where huffy wraps some TBR books for you to choose? Might be fun!
sorry for all the comments im commenting as i watch hshsh, but i wanted to say that feeling of ‘everyone around me is happier than i feel currently’ is something i relate to so idk if it helps to know that youre not alone in that feeling ❤️ things will get better. wishing you sm luck with your job search
I just love your vlogs. That is all ❤😊 Good luck in your job search! Maybe you could provide some tips on getting interviews? I’m still employed but looking for another job and I keep getting rejected. Not even getting interviews 😂
Wow, you look and sound so chill before your interviews, i think i would be just simmering away with anxiety😅 Wishing you best of luck in your job hunt!
Talking about interviews I’m having one in the next one hour and what a coincidence I found you 😅 Going through the same phase I wish us all the best for the next awesome job coming up !
Glad you are getting some interviews. Both my current position and the job before that I had applied about a month before I got the actual call for the interview so these things do take time.
I’m planning to read Belladonna soon and I also love the way that one looks without the dust jacket! Also love seeing you have the og throne of glass books like me 😊
Great video, been watching you for a while, thanks for being so honest. Regarding interview length - I can say as a hiring manager the length just depends on the interviewer. Personally I like short (20-30 mins then over to them for questions) whilst other interviewers like to talk lol. I know if I want to hire within the first few mins and feel like I have to add on another 20 at least to drag it out 😂. So don’t read anything into length. I also tell ppl at the end of my interviews that mine tend to be short :) I guess some companies have set questions also so that has to be factored in. Good luck! You’ve got this
@@Everyhandleiwanthasbeentaken thank you! Haha yeah I had to do some hiring a few years ago and remember knowing within the first few minutes if I liked a candidate for the position or not.
I definitely think going full time on UA-cam could be an option in the future. I believe other UA-camrs who made the switch have at least 100k subscribers before going full time. If you do want to go full time, it would be good to brainstorm a list of video topics that interest you and can broaden your reach. Doing more vlog style videos and maybe workout vids like you used to would be cool. Maybe even some full cooking videos/local food reviews.
I'm in the same job search boat. Sending love!! ❤ ALSO. I am a fall girly and I love the summer less and less the older I get. To be fair, I'm in Atlanta, and our summers are just SO hot and humid. 😅
I would love to know more about your job search. What sources are you using to search (e.g., LinkedIn, etc). Also, are you looking for remote jobs, hybrid, in person? Just curious because I’m considering switching jobs but don’t know where to begin because I’ve been at my current job for about 15 years and it’s in the public sector (government). I’m a little nervous at the thought of going back into the private sector but feel like I need to move on.
Mainly LinkedIn! A bit of indeed but I find the search and filters are better on LinkedIn. I’m primarily applying for remote jobs, with a few remote. I love WFH so much and am WAY more productive at home!
As someone in the early-mid 20s, I feel the fomo. I am currently in the process of preparing to go get my phd and I’ve always thought about saving money since the entry level jobs for my field don’t pay much. But I’ve always seen people around me my age travel to different countries or cities and they look like they are having the time of their lives. Looking at my checking account and where I’m at in life, I wonder how do these people do it: go out and party, buy new clothes, get coffee daily, go on trips, while paying for rent and cost of living etc. while I’m here, living with my parents (nothing wrong with that) and trying to figure out how to save money, invest, pay off my future student loans, and have a bit of spare change to go out to eat every once in a while. Sometimes I feel trapped in the city I was born and raised in, other days I feel like I don’t ever need to travel. I wonder if I didn’t do life right, or if I picked the wrong career path (so jealous of people in tech rn) The oscillation can be exhausting. I wonder when I can start enjoying life like everyone else around me.
100% relate to this! I think we always have to remember that we’re mostly just getting surface level snapshots of other people’s lives. I know a lot of people who seemingly live amazingly luxurious lives with a lot of traveling etc, but are at the same time living paycheck to paycheck. It’s can just be a difference in values as well!
Good that you went to the concert despite the music not being to your taste. As far as video ideas, I would like to see a video of you with one or more book reading friends of yours who would be interested in doing a video with you. Most booktubers do their videos solo. I guess that makes sense as reading is a solo activity. I like to see two or more people bouncing ideas of one another
Would you consider doing a video showing different ways to get books that are discounted or free for a limited time maybe? You mentioned the “stuff your kindle” before which I’ve never heard of? And maybe websites like Bookbub, etc? Book club discount sites? Are there any other ways to get discounts? Love your channel ❤. Wishing you luck with your job transition ❤.
Hi! I used to watch your videos during the pandemic because I loved your reviews on youtube home workouts! A few weeks ago I saw one of your reading vlogs and realized you changed the themes of your channel! I'm enjoying your vlogs a lot, but did you made a video about stop talking about working out that I can check out? I'm just curious since I wasn't watching you regulary in the past months! :)
Hi hi! Glad you’re loving the vlogs and switch in direction ❤️ I did talk about it in a couple of weekly vlogs but now I can’t remember which specific video haha oops!
Im curious - as you currently dont have a corporate job, have you thought about doing youtube as your actual job? Or do you see it as more as a hobby than a career ? Love your vids!
let me know what videos you’d like to see from me ❤
would love to see a ‘reading fall books for a week’ or something. Maybe like try like halloween ish books since it’s the start of the spooky season. 🫶🏽🫶🏽

sorry if uve already done these!💓🥰✨
@@rue353 love all these ideas!
I would love to see a video essay about books, it doesn't have to be controversial or something, but I just like video essays.
Thank you for being so honest and vulnerable. I think we can all relate to your feelings and it's so brave of you to be so open

I started watching you when you did fitness content. I watch your book content too but I’d love to see a few fitness videos in the mix
@@SparkPup I honestly don’t think I’m going to go back to fitness content at this point- but I’m glad you’re also liking the book videos!
I am so proud of you Jaime!! The way you are handling the situation is so commendable. You are my inspiration ❤
Thank you ❤️❤️
I’m actually so jealous you felt cold 😂 being in third trimester during CA’s hottest month of the year is melting my brain 🫠
Right after this, it got hot again 😂
Love the weekly vlogs
Also I am going to try that pasta salad recipe. Looks refreshing and delicious!
I need it in my life again!
I am enjoying the weekly vlogs, keep them coming as long as you want!
YAY glad you’re enjoying them ❤️
Your vlogs are awesome ❤ I love your vibe ❤
I would love to watch a video about your hair care.
Wishing you luck on your job interviews 🙏
@@salmasami4119 thank you!! Oh what a compliment hehe, my hair care routine is pretty simple right now but will show in a future vlog!
Ohhh Howl's Moving Castle! One of my favorite Ghibli movies next to Kiki's Delivery Service.🥰
Love both of those!!
I love these videos, Jamie! Good luck with the job searching.
@@bubbleclayshop8780 thank you! ❤️
Hope you are hanging in there girl! Excited to hear the updates! 💕
I think it’s called a DJ set. 😁
Aww Jaime 💕 You’re allowed to feel your feelings. Def don’t stuff it down, even if that means crying in public at a concert.
OH YES A DJ SET LOL TY ❤️
Oh my gosh I felt you on the: everyone around me is vibing and happy and I am so not🥲
I’m so glad what I said made some sort of sense 😂 hopefully next time I’ll be in the right mood!

It’s not really financially feasible for me to just do UA-cam right now! I’ve definitely thought about it ☺️
@@jaimefok oh I see, thank you for responding ! X
girl, they were definitely on drugs at the "concert"; ain't nobody THAT happy with life lol

I hope you're entitled to EI... you should be...
I am! One of the only good things about this situation haha - but because of UA-cam, I don’t get much
Everyone was happy at the techno event probably because they were high on something 💀
Not necessarily, a lot of people go to these events for the music.
