You’ve been such a huge source of happiness in my life, and it’s been over four years now since I started following you regularly! During that time, so much has changed for me-I’ve achieved my dream of pursuing an MBA abroad and grown in ways I never thought possible. Through it all, you’ve been this constant inspiration, helping me navigate the early years of adulthood with your positivity and warmth. You’re the only UA-camr I follow regularly, and it means so much that you’ve stuck with us through all these years. Thank you for being part of my journey. 💚
Dear Ruby, winter is the time to write and say what we think and feel and I believe what I want to say to you is „thank you“. I have watched your videos since I was sixteen and I’m turning 22 soon. Over the past few years I have absolutely adored your videos. They emit some sort of warmth and peace that I could only rarely find within myself. I have personally struggled with addiction not such a long time ago and watching your videos has anchored and helped me in the process of overcoming it, especially in ways of coming back to my old self. Nowadays, I like to make a habit out of waking up, making myself a nice cup of tea and watching one or two videos of yours to start the day. You have inspired me to aim for what I truthfully seek in life - peace, love and joy - in ways you might probably find hard to believe. So thank you! And have a wonderful Christmas time ❄️🤍
Happy holidays ruby. Your videos are so cozy. As a full time worker for many years, supporting myself, relish and enjoy being home. Its a true luxury. All too soon its time to adult, pay bills, rent, mortgage car payments, food, try to save , etc. Grown up life is so expensive. Enjoy the slow, cozy pace while you can
Your videos feel like the spring sun! Me and my friend used to watch your videos back when we were studying music and it got us through many a dark time. Idk how you’ve done it for so long but I hope you continue if it feels right to you. UA-cam comments are not the friendliest place; you must possess extreme empathy and a level head. I feel such disbelief when I read some of the critical comments but know they aren't the majority.
I've kept several quote books but I never thought to organize them by theme. I'm going to look into Commonplacing. Also your content this time of year always makes me feel thoughtful and festive.
@RubyGranger8 Yeah please do! I would love to have it in physical form, perhaps later you can reprint it along with other material of yours that you have :)
i'm a quiet follower but absolutely love, love, love the content as always. the vibes are so cosy and welcoming. also does anyone know the timer that is used at 11:31? i feel like i need that to help me concentrate and study!
I see you put Fathers and Children on your reading list. I've always known it as Fathers and Sons, and it's one of my favorite books. (I have the translation by Constance Garnett.) In fact, I based my entire first novel (unpublished) around the protagonist carrying a copy of Fathers and Sons around with him on his adventures, until he finally burns it (which is entirely appropriate for the nihilist angle of the book). You will love it, Rubyinski. ❤
Well Ruby I love you afternoon tea ornament on your tree, also I love to hear you reading I just close my eyes and I just think I am in the story you’re voice is so relaxing, also your cousin is very like your mum Ruby Happy Christmas to you and your family and have a very relaxing Christmas and new year for 2025 ❤
Apparently I have been "commonplacing" my entire life without knowing I was doing it. I don't think I could survive without it, at least not function even half as well. I would go crazy with all the information flying around loosely in my head without writing it down to store for later.😂❤
@RubyGranger8 I have a half digital- and half traditional approach. I always have an a5, 100 blank page moleskine notebook in a leather cover with a pen loop a pen and sticky notes and page markers and I also use private Pinterest boards for individual projects and topics that I write notes into the descriptions of and collect information with screenshots in. Every few weeks I print out the most important things on Pinterest and add them into the physical notebook. I love the feeling of gathering and collecting new information and inspiration so much!🥰
It’s the difference between the text and the book-object which interests me more - the idea of reading for the book-object, which I do with this newspaper
@RubyGranger8 That was a lot of words for saying nothing, Ruby nor does it change what they said. If you're not reading to enjoy what you're reading then what is the point?
I interpreted it a bit differently. Ruby is never without something to read on her at all times (at least from what I can tell by her videos and her goodreads). She clearly loves reading… I took the clip of her reading the newspaper to be that it is fun to read a different format of text once and a while instead of a kindle, a book, or an academic paper where you’re looking at content in an expected way (from beginning to end). With a newspaper one can hop from article to article as one pleases
Sure... and she also did 10 years of unnecessary schooling… a masters of English and is working towards her doctorate just for the aesthetics✨ no one is that committed to their appearance
@emilielinstewart Ruby in the video said she is reading a 'newspaper' for the feel of it. That is what I was referring too. No need to get all defensive.
Thought you would have learned during your theology course that angels are not magical. Angels are spiritual and heavenly. Magic implies occult of which angels are not. There’s a big difference

Oh my goodness. This is so beautifully lovely. Thank you for writing this ❤️

I am trying the eke out the magic, I must say… I hope you have a lovely Christmas Kimmy x
Well said Kimmy❤

My comfort person
I took her skillshare commonplacing course and it was wonderful! Very pleased.
Ah I’m so so pleased!
Wow, this is the earliest I’ve been :)
happy holidays!
Such a lovely positive and encouraging Christmassy video. A great help, thank you. Wishing you a Happy Christmas.
Your videos have been helping me through the winter blues 💓 so cozy

Thank you for sharing your wonderfully cozy holiday 🎄 😊 Wishing you a very happy Christmas & a lovely New Year ❤
Love these cosy vlogs. Thankyou Ruby! Have a wonderful Christmas time ❤
Always waiting for new videos!! Love you rubyy❤❤
This song „greensleeves“ gives me goosebumps. Thank you for sharing this 🦋 thanks to you, I listen to it regularly now
Thank you for this vlog Ruby!
Already feeling the Christmas spirit and motivated to be productive today!❤🫶🏻
Ah I’m so pleased to hear that!
I love the different baubles you have and the stories behind them. Beautiful ❤️
Totally agree about Jane Austen.
I've kept several quote books but I never thought to organize them by theme. I'm going to look into Commonplacing. Also your content this time of year always makes me feel thoughtful and festive.
New video yayyyyyyyy ! Should be studying now but I guess I'll just watch Ruby study instead
The story You wrote is very good! I wish I could read it completely! Do You plan to put it up for sale?
I printed a few for a limited release on my website but they sold out within an hour (I didn’t print many!). I may make it available as a pdf though x
@RubyGranger8 Yeah please do! I would love to have it in physical form, perhaps later you can reprint it along with other material of yours that you have :)
The snippet of your story is beautiful! Merry Christmas!
Please post your short story in a way we can buy it and then download…Merry Christmas!
Ah thank you! That means a lot!
I may make a pdf available on my website :) x
A lovely video as always! Ruby I wish you and your family a Very merry Christmas! All the best in the New Year!
i'm a quiet follower but absolutely love, love, love the content as always. the vibes are so cosy and welcoming. also does anyone know the timer that is used at 11:31? i feel like i need that to help me concentrate and study!
I believe Ruby mentioned it in one of her videos! I just don't remember which one 😅 Sorry. Maybe one about stationary?
It's called the Minee timer! x
My family also just rewatched Arthur Christmas! One of my favorite Christmas films. ❤
It’s just fantastic!
Ruby, if you haven’t seen the Narnia trail and house at Nymans near Haywards Heath go before it’s taken down in early January. It’s truly magical.
I haven’t! Oh that sounds magical! x
@RubyGranger8 it really is!
My book club has started commonplace books. It’s interesting how many common place notes enter our discussions
Cozy and warm as always ❤❤❤ thank you for this special Christmas mood
hey ruby!
Will you be printing the short story for your shop at all? 😊
I love your uploads, so relaxing, maybe one day I can buy you a coffee and a book.
I always love Holiday Season because of your activity on the channel❤
LOVE YOU RUBYYYYYY🎉
Yes!!! Before bedtime. I've got your vdo 😊.... One of my favorites clips at night in Thailand 😇 🎉
I see you put Fathers and Children on your reading list. I've always known it as Fathers and Sons, and it's one of my favorite books. (I have the translation by Constance Garnett.)

Ah that’s incredible to hear! I can’t wait to read it now! x
Omg your cousin has grown so much since last time she was on your channel😮 She looks really beautiful❣️
Is Le Petit 3 in French and/or English and may I subscribe from the USA?
Ruby, you have a great chance to get back on Goodreads on the 1st of January!🙏❤
Tell us the story about the little mouse in the red jumper that lives in your Christmas tree……
Well Ruby I love you afternoon tea ornament on your tree, also I love to hear you reading I just close my eyes and I just think I am in the story you’re voice is so relaxing, also your cousin is very like your mum Ruby Happy Christmas to you and your family and have a very relaxing Christmas and new year for 2025 ❤
Was about to make the same comment about her cousin. Must be on her mum's side of the family?
Ah thank you so much for such lovely words! And my cousin gets that a lot actually! I definitely see it! I hope you have a lovely Christmas too!
I want to start commonplacingggg
❤❤❤❤❤❤
What is the song in minute 8.30
society would change overnight if more people read the book Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki
Hi. If it was possible for you would you consider making in depth bookshelf tour?🙈😇. You have so many interesting books🥰
Apparently I have been "commonplacing" my entire life without knowing I was doing it. I don't think I could survive without it, at least not function even half as well. I would go crazy with all the information flying around loosely in my head without writing it down to store for later.😂❤
I love that! And completely get that! How do you store your commonplaces? x

Is there anyway I can send you a Christmas card dear Ruby???
Forcing yourself to read a newspaper just for the act of reading it and not for the content sounds like a chore. You clearly do not enjoy reading then
It’s the difference between the text and the book-object which interests me more - the idea of reading for the book-object, which I do with this newspaper
@RubyGranger8 That was a lot of words for saying nothing, Ruby nor does it change what they said. If you're not reading to enjoy what you're reading then what is the point?

Reading for the aesthetics of reading, as opposed to reading to be informed. It's all about exhibiting the aura of a connoisseur🧐✒
It's pretending to be intelligent and better than the peasants 😂. We all know that books are just accessories for Ruby to look smart
@AndNowIJustSitInSilence 🤣😂
Sure... and she also did 10 years of unnecessary schooling… a masters of English and is working towards her doctorate just for the aesthetics✨ no one is that committed to their appearance
@emilielinstewart Ruby in the video said she is reading a 'newspaper' for the feel of it. That is what I was referring too. No need to get all defensive.
This just felt like one big ad
what your closet smell like . i put moth balls in mine then i scream

everything you believe might crumble if you read the book Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki
the book Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki is what everyone avoids because it’s too real
First
the truth feels dangerous, and that’s why the book Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki is ignored
