I love your videos, all of them, always! So sad for your birds. I've been taming a fox since the beginning of pandemic (13 months now), he is literally coming to visit me every evening and I am feeding him with nice food 🍗. One day his paw looked hurt, I cried for days 😭 thanks god he is doing much better now, I couldn't cope!
I love all your vlogs. They are never boring to me. Now in lock down they are chill, relaxing and enjoyable. The calm music, the activities: very very enjoyable. I don't need a bunch of excitement and action to happen in the vlogs; I just enjoy watching them💯🔥
I just want to say, that I really enjoyed this kind of vlogs, especially this one, because of the hiking and biking scenes. I love to explore the nature around your home. But I also enjoyed this vlog because of the pureness of your emotions. So keep going.
I love just watching "normal life" content. Unlike a lot of other content that tries to be glamorous and exaggerated all the time. Love your videos Kalyn!
Hi Kalyn! 1. You crying for those baby birds just shows how big of a heart you have. 💓 I was saddened to hear they didn't make it as well. 2. LOVE your vlogs so much! Especially the ones that are just you chilling and keeping busy during the pandemic. Everyday feels like blurs-day but it's always special to see a notification from you! We all appreciate the time and effort you put in to share your life with us. 🤗
I am loving the GYSTing series that you are doing at the moment. The sit down check ins are really helpful as well as it makes me realise that we can fuss over some things and that's okay, but we shouldn't be fussing over everything.
I love the authenticity of your vlogging of what you're doing, it kinda feels like just hanging out and seeing that life is just life sometimes without having to BE anything in particular ❤️😌
I have so many thoughts!! First of all, I LOVE these kind of vlogs. There is something beautiful about content being aspirational in just showing the little moments of life - the self care, the sensitivity, the pockets of joy and sadness - rather than only the big shit. I think doing this kind of content really aligns with who you seem to be and what you seem to value right now. Slowing down, connecting with others, taking care of yourself, and putting good energy into the world. You did it all in this and I just love it! That said, if you WANT ideas, I have some! I'd LOVE to see a work vlog where you talk about how to approach storytelling when it comes to vlogging. I mean literally, how do you choose what shots you include, how do you set up for filming, how do you make musical choices, etc. Your style is so polished that I think letting people into that would be amazing. Especially as you are opening up for Community Content Creators! I also would love to see coffee talks/vlogs that address imposter syndrome -- I can't imagine how hard it is to know people look to your lifestyle for inspiration and the pressure you must feel to perform a certain type of lifestyle. Also vlogs/coffee talks about nurturing your creativity. We know you are a writer and vlogger, but you also have shown clips of singing and playing guitar, painting, etc. Maybe a video where you entirely focus on different types of creativity you don't typically highlight on this channel. Which gives me another Zoom "hang out" idea -- group painting?? Anyway, all of these suggestions are just because I'm excited haha. Your content as it is right now is perfect!! Don't ever worry about how "interesting" it is or not. We are invested in it because we like YOU! :)
thank you thank you thank you for your insightful feedback! I will definitely take these thoughts into account for future vlogs 💛 I can feel your excitement through the screen, I appreciate this so very much ✨
I would love a vlog on imposter syndrome. I started a new job, and my life have been chaotic. But there is a little voice that keep saying: "You don't deserve to be here," despite the good feedback I'm receiving
I love chill vlogs about your casual life! They are calming, motivating and relatable! Just show us what you feel like showing and tell stories that you find peculiar during the week!
I personally love these vlogs, I feel less alone in lockdown when I watch them because it makes me realize that it's not only my life that has become monotonous. I really appreciate you sharing your life with us, it inspires me to make each moment special instead of just being bored and throw myself into the tv 😂 PD: I also cried because of the poor baby robins :(
These are literally my favorite vlogs you’ve ever done. Love the realness even if it’s “boring”...it’s relatable and wonderful to see you. It feels like I have a friend I catch up with weekly. I love it. I know a lot of us do.
I was obsessed with you and your channel when I was younger, and I come back every now and then whenever I need some comfort. Thank you for being a consistent and reliable safe space for me :)
Girl! The most awesome thing you can give us is being truly yourself. I watch you nearly since beginning of your channel, and since it was when I was 17-23 It influenced me in a big way. So showing your unedited, non-filtered life is the best gift and lesson-to be happy, stay yourself.
I’ve been loving the simplicity and the pure, kind , down to earth vlogs. As you already do, continue with the meal peeps, workouts , hiking driving, garden & house cleaning . So relaxing and calming in these crazy times these are the things we are doing too! Lots of love from Greece ❤️
Girl, I don't need fancy event-like vlogs. I could watch you drink Coffee, stretch, read, journal and clean your house or gyst the hell outa your life forever. That is exactly the aesthetic and authenticity I love in your videos! This just calms me down so much. I love your vlogs the way they are! :) Please take that pressure off of yourself. Much love from germany! :)
I adore real, raw, authentic blogs! It’s so important to also see the beauty in normal life! I love your lifestyle and you live in my dream place!! Hopefully my fiancé and I can move soon to somewhere in Canada because it’s just 🥰🥰
My favourite content of yours is you pottering around, doing whatever you feel like and living your day to day life. Those videos make me so much more appreciative of my daily life too, as I make sure to love the little things. I watch your videos to bring me back down to earth when I am stressing. I've been subscribed to your channel longer than anyone else's because I honestly love your content. I originally subscribed bc I had just gone vegan and wanted fellow vegans in my life, and you've been such a comforting person over these years. I would've cried about the robins too, it was so sweet to have them in your front yard.
I love that we get to see all sides of your personality from the good and the bad and the sad. That’s the reason I fell in love with your content. You are real and uncut.
I absolutely love you being more authentic in your vlogs 💛 you could even delve deeper into the every day "boring" stuff! It's really soothing to see how someone else's day folds out, and it makes me feel a sense of inclusion. Almost like I'm going about these things with a friend during this quarantine. I'd love to see the more personal "before work" or "after work" content because I know I cherish those times most in my personal life. Thank you for allowing us to find a sense of peace in your beautiful content!
Hey Kalyn 🤍 I really did love this vlog. I think it’s so calming to see a realistic day/week of yours. It doesn’t have to be much - seeing your regular day - cooking, baking and going outside is totally “enough”. I love watching all of your content. I’m happy when you are happy and love seeing your authentic vlogs. Love and a big virtual hug, Anne 🤍
we would love to see you carrying on a challenge and see your progress in whatever you're trying to achieve in life, this is why i watch your vlog ✨INSPIRATION✨
Yeah girl! Keep vlogging!!!! I love watching you clean, meal prep, playing with Bentley, going on a bike ride whatever it is we love to watch!!! Your old gyst videos or routine videos were my very favorite!!!
Your daily life, gysting and talks make anyone feel like they’re hanging out with you and that’s what people love. You have so much to offer the world with how much you care and give to others. Keep doing an amazing job! ❤️
Did anyone else get seriously-choked-up-empath-feels during the robin’s nest discovery? Also ... girl, you better not be dropping TS Easter eggs with that last song in the vlog ... your core audience is getting exactly what they want and more right now!!!
I had the same thought. But then i went “maybe it’s just one of her recent song discoveries that she really likes and it doesn’t have to relate to what she’s going through”. And then at the same time, what would her partner think once he hears that song in this video?.. or i don’t know. She’s still who she is and i’ll always be here watching her vlogs to chill and get inspired 🤍
“maybe it’s just one of her recent song discoveries that she really likes and it doesn’t have to relate to what she’s going through”. yes! it's just a chill song I found, I never really match the song meaning to the vlog meaning, that would take me way too long haha! If it ever does line up it's truly just serendipitous. I'm not leaving you guys or my mans 💛💛 (edit: every/ever typo)
@@KalynNicholson thank the stars … hope my comment was received in the light-hearted way it was intended, I want nothing but the best for my favorite content creator! Sincerely, Flow Member ♥️
You feed my soul. I love these vlogs, I love seeing your beautiful and authentic self. It's perfect because it's legit what we're all doing at home. Eating food, cleaning, watching movies etc. so super relatable. I'm just truly happy that you have become so comfortable within yourself, that's not to say you weren't before. I just feel like you're more comfortable in yourself. If that makes sense. You have a sense of freedom in you and bright light radiating that I'm sure everyone can see. I know you're working your butt off, so keep up the great work. We're all loving it. Peace & love.
I’ve always loved your everyday blogs. I’ve been following you for years. I’m a married woman in my mid 40,s with a seven year old son. While I love my life, my husband and my son, I also love escaping into your world with you and seeing what you’re doing. You remind me of myself when I was in my 20’s, living in downtown Toronto, dating, spending time in my little apartment. I’ve always used Sunday as a GYST day, though I didn’t have a name for it - you gave me that! I think we all get something different from your videos but I always look forward to seeing what you’re up to, how you organize your day, your things and your life. ❤️
I love the authenticity of it! 🥰 You don't have to create content which is not there. It doesn't help anyone! Just keep it real and true. Maybe show us a week in your life like a little remix of everything: workout, morning and evening routine, meals and work, etc. ☺️ Much love! xoxo
I’m loving the real life vlogs! Not boring at all - real life is preferred over “reel” life 😂 As someone who is looking into getting my first non-apartment home I’d love to see more on real life being a homeowner and setting up your home. Like the hanging the lights or trying to hose off the deck and having the hose be broken. Real life stuff. Also a couple weeks ago I pre-bought the same patio lights to hang for my new place and they look so good on your patio ✨
I love you 😍 love the vlogs - real life is my favorite, definitely some of the most relatable content for me! meal prep/grocery list/recipe - GARDENING!! Work flow/processes/responding to emails/researching/running a business. Reading. Philosophy/mysticism/occult/God/yoga/keeping spirituality in your daily life. I love all your content on these subjects and more. You are the woman and I feel like you're my online best friend 😆 so I just like who you are, and the things you post reflect your sweet self - so do what you enjoy most! Love and blessings ❤❤❤
Awww, the poor babies!!!! I absolutely understand that sadness. ♡ I adore your heart and your empathy. And I love your weekly GYST/vlog videos! I'm 11 weeks pregnant and have the morning sickness from hell, so even just watching your day to day stuff gives me the motivation to at least get up and do one small thing that will make me feel better.
Honestly, you could post a video of you doing anything and I'd watch. There's something about your videos that's so real, calming, and inspiring all at the same time. I love this mix of gysting/planning/health and then some videos of you just being real and living your life. Also, I would've cried from the birds too, so don't feel bad. That hurt me and I never even got to see them in real life.
It’s both inspiring and relatable to see you live your life and bringing us along for the ride. I imagine the pressure to create feels like you are never doing “enough,” but honestly whatever you want to share with us is special. Personally, I love daily stuff like what you showed in this blog. Food, bike rides, makeup, any of it! seeing another person live an authentic life makes it easier to romanticize and enjoy your own - which is why I love watching your content (and have for years now). Keep doin what you’re doin and know that we (or I) love the day to day stuff. It’s like hanging with a friend. ✨❤️ Also, I am sooooooo excited to see more gardening content!!
I really enjoy content like this, especially doing super casual things like having a movie night. It's so relatable and makes me feel better about myself for doing those kinds of things, and also, it makes me think those things are a bit magical. Like, yes, I can have an intentional movie night with my popcorn in a nice bowl and a scented candle lit, and it kind of makes all the difference. I like the meal prep too! :)
Also, those baby robins, how terribly sad. It's nature like you said, but it's okay to be sad about it none the less. And like other people say: the world needs your softness.
You’re doing amazing, Kalyn! I know for myself, it’s nice and kind of comforting to watch the “boring” everyday things that happen while we’re in lockdown. I’m also in Ontario, and this lockdown that we are currently in has been the hardest for me and a lot of others I know. When I watch your authentic vlogs of you ‘not doing much’, it reminds me that it’s okay to slow down and to find the peace and joy in the everyday things. Love and light to you ❤️
The bird update was so relatable. My heart broke with you. :( I love your authentic content! Its so nice seeing people doing the same old things because thats just the world we live in!! Keep it up :)
I loved this vlog. Personally, I love nature content and just everyday life like cleaning, working out, cooking, groceries etc. It relaxed me and I feel like I can share everyday life with someone like you would do with a good friend. So welcome during quarantimes. Thanks you for keeping us all company 💕
Kalyn I love seeing the simplicity of just living. I think it inspires people to slowdown and stop freaking out on whether they’re doing enough. Especially, with quarantine and Covid restrictions we have at the moment. Always love your videos! Much love to you, Bentley, family and friends!
Kalyn, just want to say I love how you’ve been vlogging lately - it is more relatable to vlog as you go & your videos have always made me feel calm and relaxed but I feel like recently even more so. You seem happy in your new home & it’s so great to see you glow. Ive been trying to just embrace the now and who I am at every minute and you inspire me to keep going. Please keep up with these types of vlogs and if you want to throw in story times (or q&as) once in awhile, if anything, that’s really my only tiny request. I like to hear your stories. All of your content is beautiful because it’s genuine. Thank you for being the kozy part of the internet 🤍
As soon as I saw the trees and heard your gasp I said “oh no” right along with you. I also have a nest of birds I look forward to every spring. And I casually check them throughout the season. They left the other day all grown up and flying and I got a little choked up. The world is scary. It’s ok to feel what you feel and be scared or sad for the unknown. I love your heart and it’s why I’m still here watching your videos. 🥰 thank you for sharing even these vulnerable moments.
I always feel like I'm not doing enough and I don't know how to be an adult. It's great to get a peak into someone's real life and see how they balance everything. So please keep it real like you're!!
I am SO with you on the authenticity bit. Don't put pressure on yourself to add "interesting" things to your day. We find you interesting and that why we come here. ❤️
I’ve been following your channels for years and I love your current videos the most. Your content feels wonderfully authentic and calming, and so real. I feel like I’m getting something valuable from your videos, which is rare on the internet sometimes! 🤍
Anything and everything you post is welcome, because no matter what it is you always present it with such good vibes and love. You are the only youtuber I watch where I will watch everything you post, and I tend to save some of your videoes instead of watching them right away, in case I need them for later. Your content and your presence gives me so much hope and inspiration and I cannot thank you enough. You make such aesthetic and beautiful yet realistic vlogs, you show the imperfections and reality of things and that is paradoxically what makes you perfect. Thank you for all the love and light that you bring to the world, and choose to share on the internet. It is needed.
These blogs are my favorite, I enjoy seeing the day to day vibes flow even if you’re not doing anything too crazy. It motivates me in all honesty to get up and do something lol
Really enjoyed seeing the nature out you way, the biking and your beautiful yard . Your vlogs are a relaxing escape for me. Last year I kept watch on baby bunnies every day during the pandemic so I understand your attachment to the birds. Sorry for your loss. Keep shining ! And hopefully we can both start planning our garden soon. The weather has been very up and down.
I know I’m late but I LOVE how you vlog what your naturally doing it feels chill and cozy and I really like how peaceful it seems and makes me feel through watching it. Please don’t pressure yourself to do more to film because yes even though there is amazing content on the internet YOUR content is just as amazing in its own way like it has a little spice of Kalyn that no other channel or videos on the internet will ever have because it’s authentic to you and I love that.
My favorite notification 😻 it’s good to see normal things too, normal routine and normal people, we feels like home, like we recognize with u. Love your meal preps, it encourages me to care about myself, to get healthy and even to do ioga 🤗! You’re such inspiring! Kisses from Brazil!💃🏼
girl, when you cried over the robins, i cried, because when I was driving the other day someone hit one of the migrating geese and it messed me up.No such thing as too soft for the world, softness helps make the rest of the world softer. Empathy is a gift, not a curse.
I really enjoy the time lapses of your workouts/yoga flows, like even without explanations with them. You can see that you’re visibly relaxing when you do them and they remind me to move so I can relax too 💜💜
I love these style of vlogs because I don't feel pressure to force activities into every spare moments of my life after watching them! I've been watching you since 2014 and you've been a huge influence on my life and it's amazing to watch you grow and learn just like I have through these years!
I absolutely love and cherish everything that you post! Your channel is so nourishing but realistic and comfortable to me. I truly appreciate everything that you are!
The constant growth and perfectionist mindset is part of the amazing ambition and growth mindset, but I TOTALLY felt that when you need to do stuff not intentioned to improve you. It can be an exhausting feeling!
What I truly enjoy is seeing you so content and happy! It's a bonus that I'm watching you do things that also interest me, and even more of a treat to watch you grow, evolve and share your thoughts and feelings through it all. I think this is my first youtube comment ever; I hope you continue doing what comes naturally and finding peace in life's imperfections -- that's my feedback:) Love from downtown Toronto
my feedback is that I literally enjoy watching you do ANYTHING. you're my favorite content creator and I always get a sense of peace and home when I watch your vlogs. so keep doing what you're doing, I'm so so happy the weekly vlogs are back 🤍🦋
I love watching your vlogs! I'd love so see anything you enjoy filming. I can't say thank you enough for staying true, yourself and so real in your videos, you inspire and remind me to slow down my life, prioritize joy and just living my best!! Love you to the moon and back!
I honestly love the content you've been creating - I can see more of who you are and I feel so connected to you like an actual friend! I don't think you need to put any pressure on yourself to create extra-curated content - seeing other people live their regular lives makes me feel less alone
Loved the raw side of your videos lately!! And don’t diminish your feelings towards the birds! It’s so sad and it shows how kind and nurturing you are to be upset! I’d love to see more work in your day, how you get the motivation to work as you work from home, how you structure your dad etc. I’m trying to find the motivation and structure to write my book and it’s hard to be strict with yourself sometimes! So any tips and things you do would be great to see! But I’m loving these videos and the natural side of it all!
Could you do a little vid about your office/work area? Maybe some different ways that you use your space to inspire you and help you stay focused when you're working from home
Hi Kalyn 💞 I've been following you for many years and I wanted to say how happy and peaceful you look. I really appreciate you being raw and yourself more and more because we can all use that inspiration and role model. You're so soft and I'm really feeling your videos lately. You're probably not even going to read this, but honestly vlog anything. I love your stories because its like we sit down and chat, but anything you want honestly ☺️🥰 sending you so much love ✨
I've been really enjoying your vlogs as of recently! I always usually do but you more specifically talked about recent vlogs. I like seeing your life in Ottawa and the typical every day life stuff and the emotions behind that stuff too. I also have liked the relaxing aspect of the videos as well because it brings me some peace among the chaos of my own life so thank you.
I think you're doing great! ☀️ And I feel like everyone needs to give themselves a big pat on their back and give themselves so much more credit for everything they are showing the world or no showing the world. Love you're videos as always! Big hug! Lena 🤗❤️
actually i love all of your vlog content. Chilling on a friday night, hiking, biking, planning and cooking. Or YOga and bentley... Your videos are my kind of crime podcast time!
I really appreciated what you said about evolving and how everything we do doesn't necessarily have to serve that. I've also wondered why I love true crime so much, but I honestly just do. It's interesting and helps my day/work pass. What you said really helped me give myself permission to just enjoy it for the sake of enjoying it. Thank you for saying that. Your vibes are much appreciated
I’ve been a subscriber for 6+ years and never comment but I really felt pulled to today! I’ve been blessed to witness your transformation over the years and it’s helped me not feel alone during mine. I’ve never gotten bored with your videos regardless of what you post! I think many of us follow you for you, your personality, energy, love, BENTLEY 🥰 etc. Your best videos are the ones that light you up or that you feel passionate about, because we feel that energy through them. Thank you so much for sharing authentically with us ❤️ And as a fellow ambitious person I relate 100% to looking for growth in everything! My coaches call it “being human” (cause we’re all light workers ✨) like your crime podcasts, or them watching trash TV, or me binge reading YA fiction. It’s part of the human experience to get to enjoy these things (and not second guess if the universe is telling me something every second of every day 🙃). Anyways this is long but I freakin love you and am so grateful for you!
Totally agree Kalyn, just watched a tik tok the other day where she said she wanted to enjoy a hobby not something that's a side hustle, not something your trying to make profitable and not something that technically betters you. Just simply because you enjoy something is a good enough reason to do something ✨
Never think you're not creating amazing content, I love watching your cozy casual vlogs, you just show your everyday life and it's so relaxed and positive, it really makes my day when I watch one of your videos ❤️
I do enjoy your vlogs because even though we probably will never meet it's just nice to see another human doing human things and just going about life such as I. Thanks Kalyn!
Awww I felt the with the birdies 😭 I still love your content even during this pandemic. Thank you for sharing pieces of yourself with us. All the love ❤️
Kalyn, you are my favorite person on UA-cam. And I love these normal life kind of vlogs. These are really calming and inspiring and real. If you ever consider daily vlogging I'm here for it. 😊
keep doing what you are doing! I love all your vlogs, even if you show us you do your laundry every day and share what you ate during the week. Your vibe and the way you put all this together are what make it special. And btw, I struggled too with the true-crime thing, and your insight helped me a lot on enjoying things for the sake of enjoying them. So thank you so so much. I always learn a new thing on your vlogs, from a new song to a thought that helps me in my life. THANKS FOR EXISTING KALYN
Hi! First of all- no need to put preassure on yourself, you've got such a great community and (I can only speak for myself here but anyways) people watch your videos bc they love them. Content wise- I love watching your videos bc they have got such a cozy atmosphere! Seeing you walking around in your house and making coffee already makes me happy haha. Much love x
Thank you Kalyn for saying that it is okay to sometimes do things out of interest and it is okay to not push ourselves to grow all the time. We need a break from the hustle culture. 💖
I have to say personally i’ve been really enjoying the vlogs you put up. They feel calming and motivating to me, even if you’re just meal prepping or making coffee and going on a bike ride. I also love the realness in this video about the birds, even though it’s a sad topic and it isn’t the most “entertaining”, it’s real and makes me feel better in a way. I think it’s knowing life isn’t perfect and sometimes we get upset over things that might seem small. I loved the vlog again, loving your content lately and in the future would love similar content, also some yoga and workout content is fun to watch.

I love your videos, all of them, always! So sad for your birds. I've been taming a fox since the beginning of pandemic (13 months now), he is literally coming to visit me every evening and I am feeding him with nice food 🍗. One day his paw looked hurt, I cried for days 😭 thanks god he is doing much better now, I couldn't cope!
I love all your vlogs. They are never boring to me. Now in lock down they are chill, relaxing and enjoyable. The calm music, the activities: very very enjoyable. I don't need a bunch of excitement and action to happen in the vlogs; I just enjoy watching them💯🔥
girl my mom is the most hard core bad ass woman and she sobbed when she hit a baby deer. The world needs your softness to round out its rough edges.
I just want to say, that I really enjoyed this kind of vlogs, especially this one, because of the hiking and biking scenes. I love to explore the nature around your home. But I also enjoyed this vlog because of the pureness of your emotions. So keep going.
thank you 💛
I love just watching "normal life" content. Unlike a lot of other content that tries to be glamorous and exaggerated all the time.
Love your videos Kalyn!
Hi Kalyn! 1. You crying for those baby birds just shows how big of a heart you have. 💓 I was saddened to hear they didn't make it as well.
2. LOVE your vlogs so much! Especially the ones that are just you chilling and keeping busy during the pandemic. Everyday feels like blurs-day but it's always special to see a notification from you! We all appreciate the time and effort you put in to share your life with us. 🤗
I was so ready to do weekly updates on our baby bird family 🥺 Also thank you for the feedback, that's really helpful for me to hear 💛
Vlogging what you're already doing sounds really healthy and is totally the way to go
thank you for your feedback 💛
Omg, yes, her videos calm me down so much!
@@samkcatladyaks same here. Me time! Yay
Yes..I'm watching her to calm me down..
I am loving the GYSTing series that you are doing at the moment. The sit down check ins are really helpful as well as it makes me realise that we can fuss over some things and that's okay, but we shouldn't be fussing over everything.
I love the authenticity of your vlogging of what you're doing, it kinda feels like just hanging out and seeing that life is just life sometimes without having to BE anything in particular ❤️😌
Truly the coziest corner on the internet. Love ❤️
I have so many thoughts!! First of all, I LOVE these kind of vlogs. There is something beautiful about content being aspirational in just showing the little moments of life - the self care, the sensitivity, the pockets of joy and sadness - rather than only the big shit. I think doing this kind of content really aligns with who you seem to be and what you seem to value right now. Slowing down, connecting with others, taking care of yourself, and putting good energy into the world. You did it all in this and I just love it!
That said, if you WANT ideas, I have some! I'd LOVE to see a work vlog where you talk about how to approach storytelling when it comes to vlogging. I mean literally, how do you choose what shots you include, how do you set up for filming, how do you make musical choices, etc. Your style is so polished that I think letting people into that would be amazing. Especially as you are opening up for Community Content Creators!
I also would love to see coffee talks/vlogs that address imposter syndrome -- I can't imagine how hard it is to know people look to your lifestyle for inspiration and the pressure you must feel to perform a certain type of lifestyle. Also vlogs/coffee talks about nurturing your creativity. We know you are a writer and vlogger, but you also have shown clips of singing and playing guitar, painting, etc. Maybe a video where you entirely focus on different types of creativity you don't typically highlight on this channel. Which gives me another Zoom "hang out" idea -- group painting??
Anyway, all of these suggestions are just because I'm excited haha. Your content as it is right now is perfect!! Don't ever worry about how "interesting" it is or not. We are invested in it because we like YOU! :)
thank you thank you thank you for your insightful feedback! I will definitely take these thoughts into account for future vlogs 💛 I can feel your excitement through the screen, I appreciate this so very much ✨
Oh yes I would love something on the imposter syndrome!!!
I would love a vlog on imposter syndrome. I started a new job, and my life have been chaotic. But there is a little voice that keep saying: "You don't deserve to be here," despite the good feedback I'm receiving
Whenever you feel like picking up the camera and expressing something, please do it! We love to see every layer!! ❤️
I love chill vlogs about your casual life! They are calming, motivating and relatable! Just show us what you feel like showing and tell stories that you find peculiar during the week!
Literally thought Bentley was a fox 🦊 for a second there!!! 😍
Me too
I personally love these vlogs, I feel less alone in lockdown when I watch them because it makes me realize that it's not only my life that has become monotonous. I really appreciate you sharing your life with us, it inspires me to make each moment special instead of just being bored and throw myself into the tv 😂
PD: I also cried because of the poor baby robins :(
Awww Kalyn your birds 😔 I mean I know they weren’t really yours but I’m so sorry for your loss💔
I just hope momma bird is ok!! 💛
She's such a big hearted soul to care for them.
I relate to this so much too. I saw a goose crossing the street recently on a really busy road and it ruined me 😭
I actually love the little clips you film where your boyfriend is only slightly in frame, there's just something cute about it 🥰
These are literally my favorite vlogs you’ve ever done. Love the realness even if it’s “boring”...it’s relatable and wonderful to see you. It feels like I have a friend I catch up with weekly. I love it. I know a lot of us do.
More home decorating/decor, gardening/outdoors, cooking, cleaning, work, exercise, and Bently 🐶 please and thank you. Loving all the new content. 💛
I was obsessed with you and your channel when I was younger, and I come back every now and then whenever I need some comfort. Thank you for being a consistent and reliable safe space for me :)
Girl! The most awesome thing you can give us is being truly yourself. I watch you nearly since beginning of your channel, and since it was when I was 17-23 It influenced me in a big way. So showing your unedited, non-filtered life is the best gift and lesson-to be happy, stay yourself.
I’ve been loving the simplicity and the pure, kind , down to earth vlogs. As you already do, continue with the meal peeps, workouts , hiking driving, garden & house cleaning . So relaxing and calming in these crazy times these are the things we are doing too! Lots of love from Greece ❤️
Girl, I don't need fancy event-like vlogs. I could watch you drink Coffee, stretch, read, journal and clean your house or gyst the hell outa your life forever. That is exactly the aesthetic and authenticity I love in your videos! This just calms me down so much. I love your vlogs the way they are! :) Please take that pressure off of yourself. Much love from germany! :)
I adore real, raw, authentic blogs! It’s so important to also see the beauty in normal life! I love your lifestyle and you live in my dream place!! Hopefully my fiancé and I can move soon to somewhere in Canada because it’s just 🥰🥰
My favourite content of yours is you pottering around, doing whatever you feel like and living your day to day life. Those videos make me so much more appreciative of my daily life too, as I make sure to love the little things. I watch your videos to bring me back down to earth when I am stressing.
I've been subscribed to your channel longer than anyone else's because I honestly love your content. I originally subscribed bc I had just gone vegan and wanted fellow vegans in my life, and you've been such a comforting person over these years. I would've cried about the robins too, it was so sweet to have them in your front yard.
I love that we get to see all sides of your personality from the good and the bad and the sad. That’s the reason I fell in love with your content. You are real and uncut.
Your videos are always so calming and grounding for me like I am actually present when I am watching your videos. It's a good feeling.
I absolutely love you being more authentic in your vlogs 💛 you could even delve deeper into the every day "boring" stuff! It's really soothing to see how someone else's day folds out, and it makes me feel a sense of inclusion. Almost like I'm going about these things with a friend during this quarantine. I'd love to see the more personal "before work" or "after work" content because I know I cherish those times most in my personal life. Thank you for allowing us to find a sense of peace in your beautiful content!
Hey Kalyn 🤍 I really did love this vlog. I think it’s so calming to see a realistic day/week of yours. It doesn’t have to be much - seeing your regular day - cooking, baking and going outside is totally “enough”. I love watching all of your content. I’m happy when you are happy and love seeing your authentic vlogs.
Love and a big virtual hug,
Anne 🤍
we would love to see you carrying on a challenge and see your progress in whatever you're trying to achieve in life, this is why i watch your vlog ✨INSPIRATION✨
Yeah girl! Keep vlogging!!!! I love watching you clean, meal prep, playing with Bentley, going on a bike ride whatever it is we love to watch!!! Your old gyst videos or routine videos were my very favorite!!!
Your daily life, gysting and talks make anyone feel like they’re hanging out with you and that’s what people love. You have so much to offer the world with how much you care and give to others. Keep doing an amazing job! ❤️
Did anyone else get seriously-choked-up-empath-feels during the robin’s nest discovery? Also ... girl, you better not be dropping TS Easter eggs with that last song in the vlog ... your core audience is getting exactly what they want and more right now!!!
I had the same thought. But then i went “maybe it’s just one of her recent song discoveries that she really likes and it doesn’t have to relate to what she’s going through”. And then at the same time, what would her partner think once he hears that song in this video?.. or i don’t know. She’s still who she is and i’ll always be here watching her vlogs to chill and get inspired 🤍
“maybe it’s just one of her recent song discoveries that she really likes and it doesn’t have to relate to what she’s going through”. yes! it's just a chill song I found, I never really match the song meaning to the vlog meaning, that would take me way too long haha! If it ever does line up it's truly just serendipitous. I'm not leaving you guys or my mans 💛💛 (edit: every/ever typo)
@@KalynNicholson thank the stars … hope my comment was received in the light-hearted way it was intended, I want nothing but the best for my favorite content creator! Sincerely, Flow Member ♥️
Time you spend doing something that makes you happy is never time wasted
You feed my soul. I love these vlogs, I love seeing your beautiful and authentic self. It's perfect because it's legit what we're all doing at home. Eating food, cleaning, watching movies etc. so super relatable. I'm just truly happy that you have become so comfortable within yourself, that's not to say you weren't before. I just feel like you're more comfortable in yourself. If that makes sense. You have a sense of freedom in you and bright light radiating that I'm sure everyone can see. I know you're working your butt off, so keep up the great work. We're all loving it. Peace & love.
I’ve always loved your everyday blogs. I’ve been following you for years. I’m a married woman in my mid 40,s with a seven year old son. While I love my life, my husband and my son, I also love escaping into your world with you and seeing what you’re doing. You remind me of myself when I was in my 20’s, living in downtown Toronto, dating, spending time in my little apartment. I’ve always used Sunday as a GYST day, though I didn’t have a name for it - you gave me that! I think we all get something different from your videos but I always look forward to seeing what you’re up to, how you organize your day, your things and your life. ❤️
I love the authenticity of it! 🥰 You don't have to create content which is not there. It doesn't help anyone! Just keep it real and true. Maybe show us a week in your life like a little remix of everything: workout, morning and evening routine, meals and work, etc. ☺️ Much love! xoxo
I love this more organic vibe coming from you. Just show you're beautifully authentic self.
I’m loving the real life vlogs! Not boring at all - real life is preferred over “reel” life 😂 As someone who is looking into getting my first non-apartment home I’d love to see more on real life being a homeowner and setting up your home. Like the hanging the lights or trying to hose off the deck and having the hose be broken. Real life stuff. Also a couple weeks ago I pre-bought the same patio lights to hang for my new place and they look so good on your patio ✨
I love you 😍 love the vlogs - real life is my favorite, definitely some of the most relatable content for me! meal prep/grocery list/recipe - GARDENING!! Work flow/processes/responding to emails/researching/running a business. Reading. Philosophy/mysticism/occult/God/yoga/keeping spirituality in your daily life. I love all your content on these subjects and more. You are the woman and I feel like you're my online best friend 😆 so I just like who you are, and the things you post reflect your sweet self - so do what you enjoy most! Love and blessings ❤❤❤
Awww, the poor babies!!!! I absolutely understand that sadness. ♡ I adore your heart and your empathy. And I love your weekly GYST/vlog videos! I'm 11 weeks pregnant and have the morning sickness from hell, so even just watching your day to day stuff gives me the motivation to at least get up and do one small thing that will make me feel better.
Honestly, you could post a video of you doing anything and I'd watch. There's something about your videos that's so real, calming, and inspiring all at the same time. I love this mix of gysting/planning/health and then some videos of you just being real and living your life. Also, I would've cried from the birds too, so don't feel bad. That hurt me and I never even got to see them in real life.
It’s both inspiring and relatable to see you live your life and bringing us along for the ride. I imagine the pressure to create feels like you are never doing “enough,” but honestly whatever you want to share with us is special. Personally, I love daily stuff like what you showed in this blog. Food, bike rides, makeup, any of it! seeing another person live an authentic life makes it easier to romanticize and enjoy your own - which is why I love watching your content (and have for years now).
Keep doin what you’re doin and know that we (or I) love the day to day stuff. It’s like hanging with a friend. ✨❤️
Also, I am sooooooo excited to see more gardening content!!
i enjoy it when your vlogs just show your life. your everyday, authentic life with the ups and downs that everyone knows and that make life so real.
I really enjoy content like this, especially doing super casual things like having a movie night. It's so relatable and makes me feel better about myself for doing those kinds of things, and also, it makes me think those things are a bit magical. Like, yes, I can have an intentional movie night with my popcorn in a nice bowl and a scented candle lit, and it kind of makes all the difference. I like the meal prep too! :)
Also, those baby robins, how terribly sad. It's nature like you said, but it's okay to be sad about it none the less. And like other people say: the world needs your softness.
You’re doing amazing, Kalyn! I know for myself, it’s nice and kind of comforting to watch the “boring” everyday things that happen while we’re in lockdown. I’m also in Ontario, and this lockdown that we are currently in has been the hardest for me and a lot of others I know. When I watch your authentic vlogs of you ‘not doing much’, it reminds me that it’s okay to slow down and to find the peace and joy in the everyday things. Love and light to you ❤️
The bird update was so relatable. My heart broke with you. :( I love your authentic content! Its so nice seeing people doing the same old things because thats just the world we live in!! Keep it up :)
I loved this vlog. Personally, I love nature content and just everyday life like cleaning, working out, cooking, groceries etc. It relaxed me and I feel like I can share everyday life with someone like you would do with a good friend. So welcome during quarantimes. Thanks you for keeping us all company 💕
Kalyn I love seeing the simplicity of just living. I think it inspires people to slowdown and stop freaking out on whether they’re doing enough. Especially, with quarantine and Covid restrictions we have at the moment. Always love your videos! Much love to you, Bentley, family and friends!
Kalyn, just want to say I love how you’ve been vlogging lately - it is more relatable to vlog as you go & your videos have always made me feel calm and relaxed but I feel like recently even more so. You seem happy in your new home & it’s so great to see you glow. Ive been trying to just embrace the now and who I am at every minute and you inspire me to keep going. Please keep up with these types of vlogs and if you want to throw in story times (or q&as) once in awhile, if anything, that’s really my only tiny request. I like to hear your stories. All of your content is beautiful because it’s genuine. Thank you for being the kozy part of the internet 🤍
As soon as I saw the trees and heard your gasp I said “oh no” right along with you. I also have a nest of birds I look forward to every spring. And I casually check them throughout the season. They left the other day all grown up and flying and I got a little choked up. The world is scary. It’s ok to feel what you feel and be scared or sad for the unknown. I love your heart and it’s why I’m still here watching your videos. 🥰 thank you for sharing even these vulnerable moments.
I always feel like I'm not doing enough and I don't know how to be an adult. It's great to get a peak into someone's real life and see how they balance everything. So please keep it real like you're!!
I am SO with you on the authenticity bit. Don't put pressure on yourself to add "interesting" things to your day. We find you interesting and that why we come here. ❤️
Honestly I love seeing your daily life and all the "mundane" tasks you do. It's relatable and relaxing; sort of like a cozy escape : )
I’ve been following your channels for years and I love your current videos the most. Your content feels wonderfully authentic and calming, and so real. I feel like I’m getting something valuable from your videos, which is rare on the internet sometimes! 🤍
Anything and everything you post is welcome, because no matter what it is you always present it with such good vibes and love. You are the only youtuber I watch where I will watch everything you post, and I tend to save some of your videoes instead of watching them right away, in case I need them for later. Your content and your presence gives me so much hope and inspiration and I cannot thank you enough. You make such aesthetic and beautiful yet realistic vlogs, you show the imperfections and reality of things and that is paradoxically what makes you perfect. Thank you for all the love and light that you bring to the world, and choose to share on the internet. It is needed.
I cry when things like that happen, too. Just cried with you! Compassion is a gift, and I think a bit more humans should have it. ❤️
Always love the vlogs - no matter how "busy" or not they are. Can't wait to see the garden! Would love a whole video on planting your garden. 💚
These blogs are my favorite, I enjoy seeing the day to day vibes flow even if you’re not doing anything too crazy. It motivates me in all honesty to get up and do something lol
Really enjoyed seeing the nature out you way, the biking and your beautiful yard . Your vlogs are a relaxing escape for me. Last year I kept watch on baby bunnies every day during the pandemic so I understand your attachment to the birds. Sorry for your loss. Keep shining ! And hopefully we can both start planning our garden soon. The weather has been very up and down.
You don’t have to do anything special to make your content amazing. It’s amazing because it’s yours and that’s why we all watch it❤️
I know I’m late but I LOVE how you vlog what your naturally doing it feels chill and cozy and I really like how peaceful it seems and makes me feel through watching it. Please don’t pressure yourself to do more to film because yes even though there is amazing content on the internet YOUR content is just as amazing in its own way like it has a little spice of Kalyn that no other channel or videos on the internet will ever have because it’s authentic to you and I love that.
4:34 "we couldn't tell the sky from the ground" with that clip made me emotional after the birds thing and everything🥺this vlog is so soft🥺
brb crying again 🥺
My favorite notification 😻 it’s good to see normal things too, normal routine and normal people, we feels like home, like we recognize with u. Love your meal preps, it encourages me to care about myself, to get healthy and even to do ioga 🤗! You’re such inspiring! Kisses from Brazil!💃🏼
girl, when you cried over the robins, i cried, because when I was driving the other day someone hit one of the migrating geese and it messed me up.No such thing as too soft for the world, softness helps make the rest of the world softer. Empathy is a gift, not a curse.
1000000000000%
I really enjoy the time lapses of your workouts/yoga flows, like even without explanations with them. You can see that you’re visibly relaxing when you do them and they remind me to move so I can relax too 💜💜
Hey Kalyn ! I love your new content! This is your life, your reality, you are honest. We love natural people! Your videos are peaceful !
I love these style of vlogs because I don't feel pressure to force activities into every spare moments of my life after watching them! I've been watching you since 2014 and you've been a huge influence on my life and it's amazing to watch you grow and learn just like I have through these years!
Seriously, your raw-ness recently has made me so happy. Your growth is beautiful.
I absolutely love and cherish everything that you post! Your channel is so nourishing but realistic and comfortable to me. I truly appreciate everything that you are!
The constant growth and perfectionist mindset is part of the amazing ambition and growth mindset, but I TOTALLY felt that when you need to do stuff not intentioned to improve you. It can be an exhausting feeling!
What I truly enjoy is seeing you so content and happy! It's a bonus that I'm watching you do things that also interest me, and even more of a treat to watch you grow, evolve and share your thoughts and feelings through it all.
I think this is my first youtube comment ever; I hope you continue doing what comes naturally and finding peace in life's imperfections -- that's my feedback:)
Love from downtown Toronto
my feedback is that I literally enjoy watching you do ANYTHING. you're my favorite content creator and I always get a sense of peace and home when I watch your vlogs. so keep doing what you're doing, I'm so so happy the weekly vlogs are back 🤍🦋
I love watching your vlogs! I'd love so see anything you enjoy filming. I can't say thank you enough for staying true, yourself and so real in your videos, you inspire and remind me to slow down my life, prioritize joy and just living my best!! Love you to the moon and back!
I absolutely love the calm vlogs, i look forward to it all the time. I love the peacefulness and calmness, makes be happy☺️
Never apologize for crying, Kalyn :). Just an emotion that's part of life. Love that you're showing it! Keep on making great vlogs
I honestly love the content you've been creating - I can see more of who you are and I feel so connected to you like an actual friend! I don't think you need to put any pressure on yourself to create extra-curated content - seeing other people live their regular lives makes me feel less alone
Loved the raw side of your videos lately!! And don’t diminish your feelings towards the birds! It’s so sad and it shows how kind and nurturing you are to be upset!
I’d love to see more work in your day, how you get the motivation to work as you work from home, how you structure your dad etc. I’m trying to find the motivation and structure to write my book and it’s hard to be strict with yourself sometimes! So any tips and things you do would be great to see! But I’m loving these videos and the natural side of it all!
I’ve been loving the vibe of your vlogs lately. They feel so authentic and lovely.
I think it's beautiful you get emotional about bird (non-)life. Your hypersensitivity is your superpower.
Could you do a little vid about your office/work area? Maybe some different ways that you use your space to inspire you and help you stay focused when you're working from home
Hi Kalyn 💞 I've been following you for many years and I wanted to say how happy and peaceful you look. I really appreciate you being raw and yourself more and more because we can all use that inspiration and role model. You're so soft and I'm really feeling your videos lately. You're probably not even going to read this, but honestly vlog anything. I love your stories because its like we sit down and chat, but anything you want honestly ☺️🥰 sending you so much love ✨
I've been really enjoying your vlogs as of recently! I always usually do but you more specifically talked about recent vlogs. I like seeing your life in Ottawa and the typical every day life stuff and the emotions behind that stuff too. I also have liked the relaxing aspect of the videos as well because it brings me some peace among the chaos of my own life so thank you.
I think you're doing great! ☀️ And I feel like everyone needs to give themselves a big pat on their back and give themselves so much more credit for everything they are showing the world or no showing the world.
Love you're videos as always! Big hug! Lena 🤗❤️
STAY HEALTHY and HAPPY as always 💙
actually i love all of your vlog content. Chilling on a friday night, hiking, biking, planning and cooking. Or YOga and bentley... Your videos are my kind of crime podcast time!
I really appreciated what you said about evolving and how everything we do doesn't necessarily have to serve that. I've also wondered why I love true crime so much, but I honestly just do. It's interesting and helps my day/work pass. What you said really helped me give myself permission to just enjoy it for the sake of enjoying it. Thank you for saying that. Your vibes are much appreciated
I’ve been a subscriber for 6+ years and never comment but I really felt pulled to today! I’ve been blessed to witness your transformation over the years and it’s helped me not feel alone during mine. I’ve never gotten bored with your videos regardless of what you post! I think many of us follow you for you, your personality, energy, love, BENTLEY 🥰 etc. Your best videos are the ones that light you up or that you feel passionate about, because we feel that energy through them. Thank you so much for sharing authentically with us ❤️ And as a fellow ambitious person I relate 100% to looking for growth in everything! My coaches call it “being human” (cause we’re all light workers ✨) like your crime podcasts, or them watching trash TV, or me binge reading YA fiction. It’s part of the human experience to get to enjoy these things (and not second guess if the universe is telling me something every second of every day 🙃). Anyways this is long but I freakin love you and am so grateful for you!
I am loving the recent vlogs! It’s so so nice to hear your thought processes on different aspects of your life - those are always my favourite bits.
Totally agree Kalyn, just watched a tik tok the other day where she said she wanted to enjoy a hobby not something that's a side hustle, not something your trying to make profitable and not something that technically betters you. Just simply because you enjoy something is a good enough reason to do something ✨
Never think you're not creating amazing content, I love watching your cozy casual vlogs, you just show your everyday life and it's so relaxed and positive, it really makes my day when I watch one of your videos ❤️
I do enjoy your vlogs because even though we probably will never meet it's just nice to see another human doing human things and just going about life such as I. Thanks Kalyn!
Awww I felt the with the birdies 😭 I still love your content even during this pandemic. Thank you for sharing pieces of yourself with us. All the love ❤️
Kalyn, you are my favorite person on UA-cam. And I love these normal life kind of vlogs. These are really calming and inspiring and real. If you ever consider daily vlogging I'm here for it. 😊
I've been loving these vlogs, I like just seeing how people are living and the different lives we all lead. Thanks for showing us =)
keep doing what you are doing! I love all your vlogs, even if you show us you do your laundry every day and share what you ate during the week. Your vibe and the way you put all this together are what make it special.
And btw, I struggled too with the true-crime thing, and your insight helped me a lot on enjoying things for the sake of enjoying them. So thank you so so much. I always learn a new thing on your vlogs, from a new song to a thought that helps me in my life.
THANKS FOR EXISTING KALYN
Hi! First of all- no need to put preassure on yourself, you've got such a great community and (I can only speak for myself here but anyways) people watch your videos bc they love them. Content wise- I love watching your videos bc they have got such a cozy atmosphere! Seeing you walking around in your house and making coffee already makes me happy haha. Much love x
Thank you Kalyn for saying that it is okay to sometimes do things out of interest and it is okay to not push ourselves to grow all the time. We need a break from the hustle culture. 💖
Thank You for being such a Caring Empathic Bright light in this World
nothing like a good meal prep day!! makes the week so much easier!!
I have to say personally i’ve been really enjoying the vlogs you put up. They feel calming and motivating to me, even if you’re just meal prepping or making coffee and going on a bike ride.
I also love the realness in this video about the birds, even though it’s a sad topic and it isn’t the most “entertaining”, it’s real and makes me feel better in a way. I think it’s knowing life isn’t perfect and sometimes we get upset over things that might seem small. I loved the vlog again, loving your content lately and in the future would love similar content, also some yoga and workout content is fun to watch.
