It takes a while but popcorn strings on a tree looks and smells nice. It reminds me of childhood. Now I wish to try the oranges 🍊 also. So funny, I am also being stubborn and conservative with my heat. I have this soft fleece zip up robe with a hood. It’s getting me through. Lol.
I am thoroughly enjoying your vlogmas this year. It’s so cosy and comforting and just what I needed. Just got in from the freezing cold after being in work made myself a cuppa changed into comfy pyjamas and watching this is just perfect. Also most definitely need to make that soup it sounds so delicious and warming! Maybe even make it tomorrow. Totally agree that soups are expensive for what you get when you can buy ingredient and make enough to store in the freezer for another day. Loved this vlog. Thank you ❤
Your Cold Warrior Tea makes me think of a tea we have here that is called Cold 911 and it's not great as a tea for "fun" but great when you have a cold or flu and want something hot. It really helps on those days with nasal congestion. Really enjoying your vlogmas!
Broken nail yikes‼️ Milk Oolong Chai sounds delicious‼️ 🥣 😋‼️ Cold Winter Warrior tea?‼️🍊‼️ No burnt oranges‼️ Ps: I currently got 35 chapters to go in Little Women‼️I haven’t gotten any further in Where We Go From Here but we’ll see how it goes next week. As for The Holiday Swap I got 142 pages to go, I enjoying the romance and the crazy antics‼️
I think for your first Hardy you might have been better with Far from the Madding Crowd--much more upbeat, with romance and a strong female hero, I think you'd love it. Tess is known to be one of his more depressing. I really hope you try him again with Madding. Loved the oranges... I'm going to try that now! x
I just had to say before it gets crazy busy ...I wish you (Elmo eyes ,lol) and your family a very Merry Christmas... Love all your videos.. You do great work...Cheers forever YAHOOOOO
Happy Vlogmas Ciara! Loving your vlogmas. I have the same calendar and I love it so much! I hope you have the very best December and wishing you the very best Christmas and a beautiful New Year. Both my cats hate citrus as well. My older cat gags. I love bird and blend teas. I bought the sticky pumpkin pie and finished it in a month. lol :) sending you all my positivity and love.
Just truly enjoying your VLOGMAS videos!! I have been looking forward to your weekly blogs for quite a while now. Feeling so happy when I see a new post every few days!!❤️. Just can’t seem to get a great cup of tea here in the US without spending a ton on shipping!!
So glad you’re enjoying - thank you for watching! I think I’ve heard US UA-camrs mention a brand called David’s Tea quite often - that may be one to try!
Hahaha, I have the same Adveny from Bird & Blend and when I saw the Cold Warrior tea, I was so excited!! When I saw your reaction, it was so funny 😊😊 Lots of love dear Ciara, vlogmas are fantastic as always ❤
Certain creative personalities have that disposition of melancholy and I have found that they don't hinder my enjoyment of their work.Maybe as you get older your tolerance factor for such material will increase.On a lighter note when you were talking about the weather feeling colder than it is wouldn't it be funny to remark to someone on the street that although it was two degrees it felt like zero only to be contradicted that it actually felt like minus one.😁💝
Hmm, perhaps my tolerance will increase - I also think sometimes I’m more in the mood for light hearted reading so Tess might have been the wrong pick for right now!
Cats are really repelled by citrus! My mom got a pair of kittens last year and she was getting really upset that they didn't sit on her lap but they loved sitting on my dad's, and it turns out it's because her perfume was too citrusy for them and they didn't like it lol
Yeah, I haven’t read Tess of the D’Urbervilles but I know what happens and how it goes, and I must say that I’ll never read it, I just can’t, because I want to feel happy and wholesome when I read classics (or any book), and not despair. You had bad luck with your wheel this time
Hi Ciara Lovely Vlog as always xxx so cosy and always so uplifting x Thank you for all your hard work and commitment to your you tube and us subscribers xxx I took the liberty of browsing through your wish list on Amazon and got you a small gift … I hope you like and enjoy it xxx Merry Christmas to You Jay and Oscar xx
Annette - your lovely gift went to Jay’s parents house for some reason so I just picked it up today and wanted to say a BIG thank you for being so generous! The unboxing of that book is in my next vlog but, spoiler alert, I loved it! Merry Christmas to you too!!
@@ciarascorner oh Bless you I am so glad you received it - I had a feeling it might of gone there as I know you’re in York xx You are Sooooooo very welcome Ciara and honestly for all the hard work and effort you put in to all your videos (which I know first hand how time consuming it is ) cant thank you enough .Seriously it sounds so sad but it makes my day . Its Just lovely heart warming , uplifting positive content that we all need to see after hard work xx Its just a very small token of appreciation for you to enjoy xx Once again Merry Xmas 🎄 xx
Thomas Hardy's fiction to me is excruciating to read quickly and seldom have I time to read slowly. His poetry, on the other hand, is super-charged, with perfectly rendered ghosts, and ghosts of men dying in muddy trenches.

I loved that moment when you realized what was wrong with your oranges, so funny! Hope the second batch worked out well.
Haha, I felt so silly when I realised!
your videos literally give me the best vibes 🤎
Thank you so much!💖
Good evening. Your Christmas tree 🎄 is pretty. I am a fan of loaded potato soup 🍜. I am a fan of peppermint bark candy with chocolate.
Ooh peppermint bark sounds lovely!
@@ciarascorner it’s good.
Oh Oscar 💙 I really liked Tess of the D'Urbervilles, but I also love Russian lit so 😅
Perhaps I’ve just started Tess at the wrong time! I haven’t read much Russian lit but loved Anna Karenina and War & Peace
@@ciarascorner could be because December is typically reserved for more happy, predictable reads! Hope you enjoy the rest of Tess a bit more xx
I totally agree with you regarding the book. I had to read it for uni.
🤗
I so wanted to enjoy it but alas, not looking likely haha
Enjoy your Christmas vlogs- your tree so pretty!
Thanks so much!

Yeah, you might be right - it may be the speed at which I’m trying to read the book rather than the book itself!
