I play this game every day. It's my favorite of this genre of game because the story actually progresses! Although I have made my way to the end of the written story, so I keep having to do a 2 week side quest while they write more, still worth it #ameliaandjoeforever
It seems like she sees it as a minor thing because it gives you less mainstream recognition and celebrity status. She probably loves being famous more than actual "love for the craft"
I think it's likely because she grew up on Broadway (wasn't she playing child roles as a kid?) so she doesn't view it as a huge life achievement. It's something she's always had, so hanging on to it was a minor goal.
@@Clorala That makes a lot of sense! Also, it's so funny people forgave her for all the racism and bullying because she was good in Funny Girl. At least the whole reading rumor is giving her more attention and that's what she probably loves. Better than being on the hot seat for doing shitty things for sure.
I'm a dietitian and the part about health is horrendous. It's basically a how to guide to disordered eating. Also as a health professional I'm really hecking tired of celebrities talking about nutrition like the know something
It’s probably Lea Michele’s own view and beliefs on food, which, just because you are a celebrity, should not be published as truth or advice. This triggered some shit in me, ngl. People who are unaware of their own problems, such as with food, should not write books about it.
Yeah - as a vegan, I’m tired of seeing veganism being leveraged as a heath fad. Being vegan - IMO is about 50% about diet! And the diet part of this belief system - isn’t necessarily heathy, depending on your choices. One can be a junk food vegan.
Her saying just getting Spring Awakening would be a "small career" is fucking crazy. It's a literal BROADWAY ROLE that she's ORIGINATING. That's huge! Especially at 19! It's not even "dreaming small."
It’s also crazy because surely her broadway career IS the successful one? Obviously starring in glee was a huge achievement but to my knowledge it’s the only big tv role she’s ever had (and broadway was also a huge part of it?) vs so many huge stage roles.
@@uncarley yep in biology class we tested this out by doing genetic testing on “Non GMO” corn tortilla chips and they contained modified genes because crazily you cannot tell the bees where they can and cannot pollinate lol
I mean, if we want to get real specific, corn only exists because of careful selective breeding--the original genetic modification. Always makes me giggle on the inside when I see any corn product labelled "non-GMO."
the way she reveals her twisted mindset so earnestly shocks me every time😭 she’ll just heavily imply shes only nice to people so she can use them and then move on to another super sincere story like its normal
As someone with celiac (so I have to eat gluten free all the time) it always bugs me that people think gluten free is healthier 😭 there's so much added sugar and other stuff to make the food taste better since it doesn't have gluten in it so it's unhealthy for anyone who doesn't actually need to eat gluten free
There are some health reasons for avoiding gluten but if one has to do that then they most likely cannot eat replacement products either, there are both colon and skin diseases that need very strict diets. I don’t know if it’s specifically wheat or if it’s the gluten because I can’t eat gluten but I know that one of them can cause and worsen inflammations!
Another celiac reporting in - I eat like absolute trash. It's possible, thanks to the developments in food science. A hearty thank you to all the fad dieters that made gluten free Oreos possible. And yes, Lea, I am very cognizant of what I am eating when cramming potato chips in my face at 3 am. Get bent.
I worked on Glee as an extra cheerleader when I was 18 to look younger (I was about 20ish). My brother also worked on the same set as a student and we would sometimes work together. Lea was one of the lead actresses who wouldn’t even so much and LOOK at you. No smile, no hello, no anything, ever. The coach (I do not remember her name although I remember her to be a more known actress at the time) was far more cordial, as well as the other members of the cast and crew. I definitely don’t think that anyone is owed conversation just because they are sharing the same space. However, it can make for a very uncomfortable experience when your existence goes completely unacknowledged. Especially when the hours are very long and you are there for many days out of the week. A single hello, head nod or moments eye contact can go a long way. Which would be standard for any working environment. Imagine being at a job and a higher ranking employee refuses to even so much as look at you. It’s just funny to me that she has the audacity to put in her book and journal anything at all about work space demeanor. It’s actually quite comical. Edit, correction, explanation of “18 to look younger” I was in my early 20’s, approx 21. It’s called “18 to look younger” as in your over 18 but you look younger so you can play a high schooler, cheerleader etc for purposes of filming a show that is set in a scene or scenes that call for younger looking people. If they were to hire people under 18 the production company would have to follow very strict rules, protocol and have very limited hours that minors can work. So when they hire tv background or other roles they are classified as “18 to look younger” between casting and the production company.
@@hashtagmate sure so I was in my early 20’s, approx 21.

I mentioned it in my original message because it seems like the ppl are in highschool and I was clarifying that I was not a kid at the time.
I used to manage a sports team in high school and before some of them started to know me- none of them would talk to me. It was so uncomfortable and I cried when I got into my car everytime cause I hated it. I convinced myself that I was crazy but them learning my name and eventually acknowledging my existence and making me welcome was what got me so interested in the sport
Hi, just a small correction: I have bipolar disorder, BPD is actually the abbreviation for borderline personality disorder! Fantastic video as always, drag her queen
Where I’m at (Aus) bipolar disorder also has the acronym BPAD - bipolar affective disorder. Not always but I’ve come across that in the mental health field
@@cerebratt2752 interesting! Is this something in media or is this the abbreviation used in literature surrounding the disorder? In Europe we use BD for bipolar disorder, and that’s the only way I’ve seen it as well in American research papers.
@@julieannelovesbooks I’ve seen it used in documenting, psychiatric correspondence in the hospital system from working in the mental health service within a large health district. To be fair it was new to me to when I came across it, so I’m not sure how widely implemented it is - but it seems enough so that clinicians are familiar with it. My idea is that it could be easier to differentiate it in records, or that it may lessen stigmatisation
@@cerebratt2752 That’s so interesting! My first thought would be for insurance purposes. The insurance company demands certain abbreviations and codes to be used by clinicians?
Someone recently asked me what was on my bucket list. The only item on my bucket list is to get a urine sample jar, half fill it with apple juice then roll it down the middle of a bus. Its a small thing, but I don't know I will ever have the courage.
@@loftyradish6972 you gotta do it. When I was a kid, an apple with a bite taken out of it rolled down the aisle on the school bus. Everyone was very entertained and to this day idk who did that lol cherished memory. Why don’t you help someone else have a cherished bus-apple memory
@@brioche8123 I just really like imagining a bus full of adults watch what they think is a jar of urine roll down the isle. Everyone would quietly ignore it, too disgusted to touch it while desperately hoping no one would think it was theirs. The awkwardness would be 10,000 more intense than a box of tampons spilling. I don't know if it would cause the same entertainment for others as an actual apple.
I thought maybe "how your ancestors came to America" might have been a brief moment of self-awareness and LM realising she didn't have the pull to sell books to an international audience, but as I went on I realised she probably just doesn't think the world outside the USA exists
"as we discussed at length in Brunette Ambition" the vibes this gives off, the implication that not only did you read her other book already, but that it is required reading and also somehow counts as a long involved conversation that you, the reader, had with Lea Michele personally
I love that she says you have to work hard for things in the same chapter she says she just tagged along to an audition not even knowing she could sing and got the part
She did not write a book about being friendly to co-workers when all of her co-stars from Glee said she was a terrible human being and super rude now, did she ? Big yikes
As a current dietetic intern studying to become a dietitian, THANK YOU for calling out the diet and nutrition part! I swear me and my friends rant about how many unqualified people (aka, NOT DIETITIANS) are out here giving nutrition advice and encouraging disordered eating! Drives me insane!!!
absolutely obsessed with the notion that miss ma'am over here wrote this book, sent it to her publishers, and not a single person had ANY feedback to give. they read all this nonsense about dieting and friendship in the workplace and went 'oh this. this is fine. this is good actually. good and great. readers are gonna eat this up' and agreed to publish it
Carly ever since the Prince Harry video, I've literally been OBSESSED with your content babe! Your sense of humour is peak older gen z, who loves camp and is completely unhinged and I'm living for ittt😎
God I hate the idea that keeps being perpetrated that theatre is unimportant, or just a temporary thing to focus on while moving on to bigger, better things. Theatre is one of the most impressive, entertaining and physical art forms i can think of
this is turning into celebrity memoir book club in the best way possible. you and those podcast girlies would get along so well - they also do stand up!
"Food as a punishment." YES! YES! YES! Of course we should eat healthy, and encourage children to do so as well in an age appropriate way, but eating should be ENJOYABLE, and not just a chore we perform 3 times a day to keep ourselves alive. Four years ago, my daughter (at 25) found herself at 350lbs. We realized that we both had to lose weight. We changed the way we ate, without sacrificing taste or the enjoyment of eating. We experimented more with food, and discovered so many new cuisines and recipes that we now eat regularly. We also began looking at fast food as a treat...something we have once a month, with no guilt attached to it. If we go to a family birthday, and have an extra big slice of cake, we enjoy it guilt free. I hate the expression "cheat days", because it implies that you're doing something wrong. There should never be any guilt attached to food. If your diet is generally healthy, it can withstand a couple treat days (not cheat days) a month. My daughter worked hard, and lost 200 lbs, and feels very good about herself at 150lbs. I went from 200lbs to 150lbs, and feel fantastic. And since we lost the weight slowly, and by changing our eating habits, instead of "dieting", we'll be able to maintain those weight losses.
Oh my god yeah, people with small dreams should be respected. Honestly bestie be realistic, set goals you can reach, that will build your confident like nothing else. idk about yall but I was kind of conditioned to look down on people who wanted humble and fulfilling lives :)
same! i was told that you need to dream as big as possible and if thats your jam then go for it! but also its fine to want to have a quiet lovely life too!
A big dream also looks different for everyone, that is also something to consider. A person might want to be CEO of everything, and that is a big dream. Another person might just want to live a financially stable life with good work life balance, in a home on the countryside. Sipping tea in the sun and reading. In todays world, that can be an equally big and challenging dream to reach. We should just not look down on people, maybe as long as they don’t maliciously harm other people for their goals. Also, life becomes easier if you see that even just getting up and doing the tiniest thing, means you did reach a goal, and you don’t need to beat yourself up for not reaching that „that girl“ image or dream.
Also, in this economy, I wouldn't even consider settling with financial stability as dreaming small. I can't even afford adopting a dog right now, and I'm 32 yo
she is insane I'm SHOOK at the diet and nutrition part.. I've had ED struggles since i was young and this is literally like a pro eating disorder guide I would've made or saved off of tumblr back then. I cant believe she thought was a good idea to publish..??
I hate self help books. The language is always classist and ableist. I’ve written for years I want a healthy body. Wanna know what I got? Surgery and even more limited energy. Yay me. /s
@@sampepper7682 yeah 💀there’s genuinely helpful stuff in there somewhere but all the self-help books I’ve read operate from a very neurotypical, non-disabled POV. Like yes it’s good to try and exercise or go outside and it is helpful for many people, but assuming that everyone has both the energy and strength and privilege to do that is not great
You didn’t mention it in the video but she talks about how she didn’t want to “”settle”” for Broadway basically, but now in 2022 she’s doing Funny Girl on Broadway and I would argue it’s the most successful thing she’s done since Glee
carley. you own my heart. also as a current theater kid i hope you know that watching you eviscerate *the* theater kid is all the therapy i will ever need and i thank you
Gal - you make me smile and bring so much brightness just by existing. Grateful for you! Also love that I can claim to know all about the contents of these celeb books without the torture of reading them. ❤
My friend and her brother had a lot of food intolerances growing up and ultimately wrote a cookbook called “What to eat when you can’t eat anything “ WITH a qualified dietician- yes they were on the cover and the recipes were theirs but anything relating to diet and nutrition came from the professional
As someone who has struggled with EDs since high school, my jaw was on the floor during that horrendous section dude. Thank you for making fun of this trainwreck and your humor. ❤
I found out one of my ancestors was a German tassel maker and if that doesn't mean I should follow my bliss as a burlesque performer I don't know what does.
'I never want to eat these foods again'??? LIKE?? this is what we definitely DON'T need in our lives. thank you for the video tho, the way you summarise it is pretty incredible. eye-opening to say the least.
Girl I love that you said, that people dream small as well, because thats so me!! I am a med student and i am just looking forward to just having my little family medicine practise and I do not aspire to be chief of internal medicine. My friends and family don‘t really get this and I felt like everybody else on this planet either 😅 So just thank you for seeing me and the other non ambitious souls 😊 (sorry for my poor english skills…😂 love from germany ✨)
I'm not a med student but isn’t aspiring to have your own practice pretty ambitious? Actually, becoming a doctor is a pretty big goal, too 😂 Weird that your friends and family don’t get it! Edit: as someone with depression and anxiety my goals are making friends, socialising, working through my trauma, becoming happier, being able to contribute more to chores… I can’t even imagine striving to become a doctor 😅
That's so interesting, I'm the opposite and I've always wondered if everyone wants what I do or if there are people that prefer a quieter less out there life/work. Thank you for sharing and I hope you get your dream ❤
@@letsjustjumpoffacliffshallwe there are 2 separate abbreviations for the disorders. “bd” stands for bipolar disorder, and “bpd” stands for borderline personality disorder.
Just imagining Lea Michelle reflecting on herself and journaling it down is hilarious to me. I can’t even imagine that she ever journaled in her life but i’ll take her word for it i guess😭💀
“incessantly and obsessively” lol 😂 this whole book reads like me writing a paper the night before desperately trying to reach the word count. she also sounds like she’s genuinely trying so hard to use the biggest words she can think of.
I agree with your appraisal of peanut butter. Got gifted almond butter - it's not bad. But adding honey to it makes it magnificent, and I was sooo disappointed to come to this realisation when I was close to finishing it. But peanut butter rules
Lea’s story about unintentionally getting a role on Broadway when her friend went to audition reminds me of a Rachel and Santana storyline from Glee, except in that case Santana is the girl who unintentionally got a big role on Broadway. There’s a lot of differences, but also some interesting similarities.
as someone from scotland with grandparents from ireland, your great-uncle sounds like an absolute lad and you should absolutely model your life on his 💖💖

Could you pleease do a video reviewing Lana Del Rey’s poetry book?
the fact she thinks broadway is a small unimportant goal is ASTOUNDING
It seems like she sees it as a minor thing because it gives you less mainstream recognition and celebrity status. She probably loves being famous more than actual "love for the craft"
@@sylviacorvalan7716 which is wild on it’s own because without her Broadway career she’d literally be nowhere?
Suddenly the wild turn Rachel's character took in the last season or so of Glee makes sense. That wasn't Rachel, it was Lea.

I think it's likely because she grew up on Broadway (wasn't she playing child roles as a kid?) so she doesn't view it as a huge life achievement. It's something she's always had, so hanging on to it was a minor goal.

God I hate the idea that keeps being perpetrated that theatre is unimportant, or just a temporary thing to focus on while moving on to bigger, better things. Theatre is one of the most impressive, entertaining and physical art forms i can think of
this is turning into celebrity memoir book club in the best way possible. you and those podcast girlies would get along so well - they also do stand up!
"Food as a punishment." YES! YES! YES! Of course we should eat healthy, and encourage children to do so as well in an age appropriate way, but eating should be ENJOYABLE, and not just a chore we perform 3 times a day to keep ourselves alive.
Four years ago, my daughter (at 25) found herself at 350lbs. We realized that we both had to lose weight. We changed the way we ate, without sacrificing taste or the enjoyment of eating. We experimented more with food, and discovered so many new cuisines and recipes that we now eat regularly. We also began looking at fast food as a treat...something we have once a month, with no guilt attached to it. If we go to a family birthday, and have an extra big slice of cake, we enjoy it guilt free. I hate the expression "cheat days", because it implies that you're doing something wrong. There should never be any guilt attached to food. If your diet is generally healthy, it can withstand a couple treat days (not cheat days) a month.
My daughter worked hard, and lost 200 lbs, and feels very good about herself at 150lbs. I went from 200lbs to 150lbs, and feel fantastic. And since we lost the weight slowly, and by changing our eating habits, instead of "dieting", we'll be able to maintain those weight losses.
@@jessicastjames6202 Thank you. 😊
Honestly that's how anyone looking to loose weight or eat healthier should go about it. I also want to change my eating habits that way.
This is a very healthy approach to things that we never see enough of. Congrats to you both on the changes and your achievements!
Eating isn't enjoyable though, it is a chore lol

I admire what she went through in order to write a book as an illiterate person
As a person with dyslexia this comment is very rude
@@VideosOfRandomContext I'm also dyslexic + have asygmatism and I found it HILARIOUS
Her ancestors were illiterate so she can have the can do attitude she has today (and inability to read).
Not Lea Michele shaming me for eating a bag of chips when she got part of her face permanently removed 💀
She really manifested funny girl (and her fans' EDs) by journaling 😍📝👑
Oh my god yeah, people with small dreams should be respected. Honestly bestie be realistic, set goals you can reach, that will build your confident like nothing else. idk about yall but I was kind of conditioned to look down on people who wanted humble and fulfilling lives :)
same! i was told that you need to dream as big as possible and if thats your jam then go for it! but also its fine to want to have a quiet lovely life too!
A big dream also looks different for everyone, that is also something to consider. A person might want to be CEO of everything, and that is a big dream. Another person might just want to live a financially stable life with good work life balance, in a home on the countryside. Sipping tea in the sun and reading. In todays world, that can be an equally big and challenging dream to reach.
We should just not look down on people, maybe as long as they don’t maliciously harm other people for their goals.
Also, life becomes easier if you see that even just getting up and doing the tiniest thing, means you did reach a goal, and you don’t need to beat yourself up for not reaching that „that girl“ image or dream.
Also, in this economy, I wouldn't even consider settling with financial stability as dreaming small. I can't even afford adopting a dog right now, and I'm 32 yo
I was also conditioned that way
The way you dropped the great-uncle story and then just moved on 😭😭 The delivery was so funny.
the level on unhinged is unmatched in this video and I'm living for it
honestly thank you
Nearly choked on my dinner when you made the matcha joke. Thank you for the laughs and for reading these books.
she is insane I'm SHOOK at the diet and nutrition part.. I've had ED struggles since i was young and this is literally like a pro eating disorder guide I would've made or saved off of tumblr back then. I cant believe she thought was a good idea to publish..??
I hate self help books. The language is always classist and ableist. I’ve written for years I want a healthy body. Wanna know what I got? Surgery and even more limited energy. Yay me. /s
Yeah "Go on a walk it will make you feel better" I'm sorry Barbra but it looks like I have three knees now instead of one so imma stay inside
@@sampepper7682 yeah 💀there’s genuinely helpful stuff in there somewhere but all the self-help books I’ve read operate from a very neurotypical, non-disabled POV. Like yes it’s good to try and exercise or go outside and it is helpful for many people, but assuming that everyone has both the energy and strength and privilege to do that is not great
@@kaykeunil Yeah
‘I also just never really read books, so I expanded my mind by watching this DVD series’ L M F A O LIKE YOU CANNOT BE MAKING THIS UP
“If you want to dream smaller…that’s not like immoral” !!!! ty yes
You didn’t mention it in the video but she talks about how she didn’t want to “”settle”” for Broadway basically, but now in 2022 she’s doing Funny Girl on Broadway and I would argue it’s the most successful thing she’s done since Glee
Thank you for the "don't tell me not to live, just sit and putter"
carley. you own my heart. also as a current theater kid i hope you know that watching you eviscerate *the* theater kid is all the therapy i will ever need and i thank you
7:17 I love how she just assumes everyone reading her book is American
Perfect video for a little break during a late night study session for med school finals
omg praying for you bestie YOUVE GOT THIS
Good luck girl! ✨️
Gal - you make me smile and bring so much brightness just by existing. Grateful for you! Also love that I can claim to know all about the contents of these celeb books without the torture of reading them. ❤
eek im so glad! this comment made me smile thank you so much!
My friend and her brother had a lot of food intolerances growing up and ultimately wrote a cookbook called “What to eat when you can’t eat anything “ WITH a qualified dietician- yes they were on the cover and the recipes were theirs but anything relating to diet and nutrition came from the professional
You've officially become one of my comfort youtubers... you will be playing to try to fall asleep when I'm struggling yey
"My ancestors survived the potato famine so that I could become reliant on adderall." 🤣 that felt like a call out
the blissful moments between leah michelle scandals where i can just forget she exists are truly my favourite time of the year
I'm so proud of Leah for finally learning how to read. She's an icon 😍
As someone who has struggled with EDs since high school, my jaw was on the floor during that horrendous section dude.
Thank you for making fun of this trainwreck and your humor. ❤
I found out one of my ancestors was a German tassel maker and if that doesn't mean I should follow my bliss as a burlesque performer I don't know what does.
The talent oozing off of you is real
omg 😳so kind thank you
'I never want to eat these foods again'??? LIKE?? this is what we definitely DON'T need in our lives. thank you for the video tho, the way you summarise it is pretty incredible. eye-opening to say the least.
your line "journal, wake up at 6 am, uhmmm- fucking put matcha in your ass" made me DIE laughing. always enjoying your roasts
Girl I love that you said, that people dream small as well, because thats so me!! I am a med student and i am just looking forward to just having my little family medicine practise and I do not aspire to be chief of internal medicine. My friends and family don‘t really get this and I felt like everybody else on this planet either 😅
So just thank you for seeing me and the other non ambitious souls 😊
(sorry for my poor english skills…😂 love from germany ✨)
I'm not a med student but isn’t aspiring to have your own practice pretty ambitious? Actually, becoming a doctor is a pretty big goal, too 😂 Weird that your friends and family don’t get it!
Edit: as someone with depression and anxiety my goals are making friends, socialising, working through my trauma, becoming happier, being able to contribute more to chores… I can’t even imagine striving to become a doctor 😅
That's so interesting, I'm the opposite and I've always wondered if everyone wants what I do or if there are people that prefer a quieter less out there life/work. Thank you for sharing and I hope you get your dream ❤
I love every single detail of you and your fireplace 💗
Girlboss Lea single handedly reviving the mind destroying vibes of ED positive 2014 Tumblr, we love to see it 😍😍😍
thanks for going hard on the food section, that kind of thinking stole a lot of joy from my childhood and teen years ❤
And she's back with another absolute banger 🙌🏻 thank you for feeding us, master girlboss 🙇♀️
Her doing a self help book is the most Rachel Berry thing she could’ve done
6:56 I believed this for like literally 0.06 seconds and like just kept going it feels accurate
I’m vegan and I hate when people associate veganism to diets or “””clean””” eating, vegan does not equal healthy and it’s not its purpose either
1:18 bpd stands for borderline personality disorder, not bipolar disorder 🥲
It can be either, but yeah I assume borderline personality disorder is what they meant
@@letsjustjumpoffacliffshallwe there are 2 separate abbreviations for the disorders. “bd” stands for bipolar disorder, and “bpd” stands for borderline personality disorder.
@@dylanvillain8254 Really? I’ve never heard BD used for Bipolar Disorder. I must’ve gotten it wrong because I’ve heard BP used for bipolar, sorry.
@@letsjustjumpoffacliffshallwe probably because most people aren’t well educated on the subject and use the incorrect abbreviation.
I have watched two videos in the last hour that have made this mistake. My algorithm is so bizarre
insane that i have therapy in 30 minutes and the video opens with carley also having therapy in 30 minutes. i feel so connected to you rn
Just imagining Lea Michelle reflecting on herself and journaling it down is hilarious to me. I can’t even imagine that she ever journaled in her life but i’ll take her word for it i guess😭💀
“incessantly and obsessively” lol 😂 this whole book reads like me writing a paper the night before desperately trying to reach the word count. she also sounds like she’s genuinely trying so hard to use the biggest words she can think of.
Omg, when you said "i always wondered what wet dust tasted like" about almond butter i almost spit out my drink 😂😂
just so you know, your channel is now my comfort channel. i now re-watch your videos when i'm having a bad day because they are so funny and so good
Oh my god the “friend Jonathan” in question is literally Jonathan Groff
The “my ancestors survived the potato famine so I could be reliant on adderall” line 💀💀💀💀 subscribing right away
‘I always wondered what wet dust tasted like’ I spit out my icecream
This honestly makes me want to write a guided journal for kids and teens that encourages actually healthy behavior and not, like, EDs
at this point carley's videos do be saving me from the everyday atrocities of life, ily bestie
The part about your great-uncle actually caused me to choke on my non-GMO McDonald's fries. 💀
6:14 I LAUGHED SO LOUD I LAUGHED SO FUCKING LOUD that really caught me off guard lmaoooo
Literally been binging your vids the past few days this came at perfect timing 😂🤍
eeek im glad!
Literally same
You have very quickly become a new comfort person for me to watch and I absolutely cannot handle how funny you are 😭
same. she my new fav youtuber!
Why is this so cathartic to me
watching carley's videos at 1.5x speed is really upping my auditory processing abilities
These vids the only thing keeping me going 😭 Carley is the best - HAVE FUN TONIGHT BTW
omg thank you!!
I love your humor and your delivery! thanks for uploading
I agree with your appraisal of peanut butter. Got gifted almond butter - it's not bad. But adding honey to it makes it magnificent, and I was sooo disappointed to come to this realisation when I was close to finishing it. But peanut butter rules
Jack bullies celeb's taste in books and Carley bullies celeb's books.
Lea’s story about unintentionally getting a role on Broadway when her friend went to audition reminds me of a Rachel and Santana storyline from Glee, except in that case Santana is the girl who unintentionally got a big role on Broadway. There’s a lot of differences, but also some interesting similarities.
“this book isn’t meant to make you a vegan” and then “try being vegan for a week” I love when I lie
this is randomly one of my fav videos of yours - i love your thoughts !!
omg! thank you! im so glad!
11:38 is so awesome, love your voice and this bit is kinda fan service
as someone from scotland with grandparents from ireland, your great-uncle sounds like an absolute lad and you should absolutely model your life on his 💖💖
I had to pause the video when I realized I was eating a bag of chips on the couch.
