✨Welcome to Pixielocks where you can watch the most aesthetically pleasing vlogs ever✨
And congratulations on getting in to fashion college that's so exciting!!
The meows are precious ahhhhhhhhhhh
Right my girl ily so as a severe social anxiety hot mess who is in second year of uni and actually managing to be happy, here's my BEST advice for you: 1) If you find yourself becoming sad, lonely, or generally homesick, in the first few weeks/months, do NOT act like you're okay because ""college is the best time of your life"", seriously, everyone has some worries and some shock in the beginning, so talk to people about it. Everyone else in college is feelin' it. No shame. 2) Remember to balance your life. If you're a person who overworks yourself, make sure you make space for REAL rewards. Not 'I get to eat dinner!' or 'good job! you get to sleep!'. Seriously, when you manage to do work (especially when you do well), make room for nice things. 3) Similarly, (altho ur probs an expert at this, you have a planner), keep your work balanced in a way that works for you. 4) If you're a lazy heck, listen to your professor's nags. If you're a workaholic, do not listen to them. It'll only work ya up. Those exaggerations (you should work x amount of hours a week) are not for u. 5) Make sure uni is a place you can have fun in. Bring your games, make new 'alone' hobbies if you need to, make sure you have stuff you can do alone, go to social events and clubs (seriously, even just sitting around being quiet will help loneliness). 6) If you get second thoughts about your course, have troubles, talk! to! your tutor/professor! They are usually nice people, and they don't just help with work. Become mates with your tutors and they will help u in all aspects of life. 7) You're amazing and you can do this! The initial shock of independence WILL subside, but don't be scared if other people seem to be moving on faster. It will happen, jus give it time. You're a star and college isn't always ""the best years", but it doesn't need to be! It's an experience, you will grow in all directions (become a giant blob), and you will do great!
(this is so long, sorry... I jus like you gurl, I wanna reassure, also I'm from the uk so apologies for any inconsistencies with ur education system)
Raphael BloodAndHugs Really nice tips there👍
I was going to comment something like this but you beat me to it! Great tips, I'm also a second year in uni in the UK and all of this advice is exactly what how I feel.
I’m in my first year of college, thank you for these tips they’re really helpful
Raphael BloodAndHugs great advice! 😘
Oh, to add to this - don't just let people into your dorm/flat/apartment who are "friends". Sounds weird, but I got robbed and had people I didn't want crashing over to the point where I actually had to change the locks. Making boundaries for yourself and your new space, whether roomates, new friends or neighbors is super important. I lost 4 shirts ,several miscellaneous items, and DAYS of sleep to so-called friends.
We are calling your secret sneaky gal pal "mystery girl?" I THINK THAT IS EFFING ADORABLEEEEE
I'm not gonna lie. Moving away from home is scary. I straight out dropped my entire life to move down across the country to Disney World because I got hired into their costuming department. Definitely have mom send you care packages! My mom sending me bits of home is my lifeline for sure. But you'll also grow SO SO much and become more independent which is hella cool (at least it was for me) plus having your own apartment that you can fill with ya nerd stuff and decorate however you want is lit.
Try and set up a skype/movie night with ya fam after you move. It'll help you transition and keep ya a bit sane as you find your footing in the near area.
The Whimsical Wizard thats sounds awesome.
It was awesome! I transferred to the photography department not long after though. (I'm a freelance photographer, so it seemed more my jam)
YOU CAN MAKE ALL THE SWIMSUITS AND CUTE STRETCHY STUFF NOW AND ALSO BE SUPER FRUSTRATED WHILE THREADING IT (3 years in and I basically rethread mine once every 6 months :P)YAY SERGERS ☺☺🌈🌈🌈 ALSO yay college :D
YAAAY 💞 I actually got it threaded and it wasn't that bad!! I still don't get the tension and all the dials and stuff lol but my sweet lady on the 1999 instructional CD will help me
Annika Victoria I love seeing you pop up here
I so want a like a Skype Collab between you guys. Like I want it so bad.
I would be so interested to see what a Pixielocks designed clothing line would look like! So cute! Good luck girl
NBCCD Fashion grad here! Congrats on getting in - it's a great school and such a wonderful, creative environment. My best advice with the fashion program is to not get discouraged if it feels like you're not learning everything as fast as you'd like. For me it seemed like when I compared what my friends in other disciplines were doing, that they were able to jump right into the fun stuff whereas in fashion we had to learn so many basics before getting to make the things I wanted to design. So if you see the potters getting their hands dirty in clay, and the jewellers doing cool stuff with metal, and you wonder why you're still doing sewing samples and learning basic pattern drafting, don't worry - you're building a really solid technical base that will allow you to make pretty much anything you can imagine once you get to your final year. So be patient and it will all come together before you know it. Best of luck!
Omg thank you! I'm so excited everyone I know who's gone there has loved it!
Congratulations on getting into fashion school!! 💕✨
A serger/over locker can be super annoying to tread but once you get the hang of it you’ll be fine!
When I was naughty as a child my grandmother would make me re-tread her two over lockers as punishment. We lived in the middle of nowhere so she got creative with punishments as there was no tv/phone to take away 😂
Imogen Mary what a GREAT form of discipline that actually helps you to learn a skill! 💖🦄😻
Hi I don't usually comment on Vida but I just wanted to give you a tip on changing the color in your surger. When you already have an colour thread in the machine instead of taking the thread out and rethreading it all over again you can just cut the spools out and tie the new colours on to the ends and after awhile of surging the colour should change to the new thread. Sorry if this was confusing I just wanted to give you a tip😉
Anna Harms i think my serger sucks because this has never worked for me 😭😭😭😭😭 so I just never ever change the threads lol
Annika Victoria Sometimes I feel like sergers are the printers of sewing. Mine works maybe like 10% of the time though it is used. I've taken it to be repaired several times so it should be OK but just sergers...
80% of the vlog is about the cats and i love it!
I am watching all the ads for my sparkle mami 💓💓
Taniya Duffy Me too!! I'm so glad she told us about that because I just make myself sit through the skippables now knowing that it's helping her and my other favorite YTers. Yaaaaay helping! 😁
Congrats on getting into fashion school pixie! 💗🌸
Im kinda excited mystery girl is a mystery I love mysteries
Keep them pixievlogs coming💕 (i'm so happy for you)
Congratulations Pixie!! The Confetti Club is proud of you! xx
"But i feel like i canANADA POST CANADA POST CANADA POST-"
Congrats, I'm so happy for you! As for advice, if you end up having roommates, make sure you come up with a clear set of rules for the house beforehand so there's no drama over chores or other little things.
I was not disappointed by the amount of cats!
As someone that is about to graduate from fashion design school let me give just a quicky lesson about sergers, and fashion school.
1.) They take some time to get use to, and thread so don't get discouraged at first! It gets easier with practice!
2.) Sergers give a type of clean edge to woven garments, and sew together knits. The more threads the more stable the seam, and if you have a double needle with 4 threads then your knit garments will be very secure!
3.) More than likely you'll be using industrial machines at school so pay close attention to the tension and stitch length on those machines so you can mock them on your personal machines, and not stuck in the sewing lab all the time.
4.) Save everything! Especially your technicals and fashion illustration bodies!! Nothing is worse than having to start over from scratch at the end of your schooling because you didn't save work that you could use as a base to bounce off.
Have fun, and good luck girl!! I'm rooting for you!!
Weeee thank you for all this good advice!!!
Pixielocks No problem!! If you ever want advice with how to deal with something, to rant about sewing/class, or anything you are more than welcome to dm me on Insta! I'm just MissMudkip25 there, and my dm's are always open to fellow designers/cosplayers!
please never stop these vlogs because you're doing so well. I don't think these are boring at all and I always enjoy your videos. And good luck at college when you go next year!! :)
jill + her cats = what i live for
I moved all the way from my parents house in Australia to the UK to study - yup about as far from my family as I could possibly move. I was homesick for a few months, but that went away eventually. My advice is to make a Skype night for you and your family - for me it was every Sunday morning, and 6 years later still living in Europe I still do it every Sunday without fail. Phone calls are great too, but a Skype chat is different, feels like I'm sitting in my living room with my family while they eat dinner and nothing has changed- It really helped a lot. Otherwise sign yourself for social events. I am introverted and like my own company, but I think it really helps to break routine and distract yourself - plus college friends become your second family. Take it as a growing experience, not every day will be great, but you will become a stronger more resilient person - best decision I ever made. Best of luck Pixie!
I love your vlogs!!! It's fun to listen to you talk and chat with us and share your day with us ^__^
Also: your cats are angels and the most beautiful cats in the world
Aw me & my gf carved pumpkins & roasted the seeds tooooo ✨🎃 wholesome gay fall activities 🎃✨
Amelia goals 💞
Jillian, seeing you constantly reminds me to live by my own standard; not by standard of the universe..👏👏👏💖
Pixie has the best vlogs by far.
I'M SO PROUD OF YOU LOOK AT YOU GO!!!!!!!!!!! ❤💖💙💚💜💛
and advice....dont let moving out tear u down. YOUR GONNA DO SO GOOD!! and you did do so good....
9:13 what a nice fluffy white pillow! 9:16 ohhhh
Moving out is the best thing ever! You get to have total control over your life, no annoying parents, you can live how you want. I moved out as soon as I turned 18 and was of legal age. It's fantastic, you'll love it! I have never once felt homesick. Uni is hard and you'll tumble. I've struggled with depression and anxiety throughout my studies. But I can tell you that finally moving out is SO liberating! It definitly helped my depression a lot. Good luck!!
I'm so thankful I found your UA-cam channel. Without a doubt, you're the most relatable UA-camr I'm subscribed to. I'm also starting college in Fall 2018, love my cats, love cosplay, and live for that aesthetic. Thank you so much for filming these vlogs and sharing a bit of your life with us.
Honestly I got so used to living away from home surprisingly quickly, so you'll crush it girl. I don't know what it's like in Canada, but my friends that did an art foundation year said it was pretty chill and not too stressful, so fingers crossed it'll be chill for you too. Good luck anyway xx
My main piece of advice would be, if you decide to share an apartment with friends...make sure you set some very clear rules and boundaries. Don't make the mistake of assuming that everything will work itself out. You have to be active when it comes to maintaining healthy relationships with roommates. Delegate chores and make plans for when one or more of you gets into financial trouble (because it WILL happen).
My advice for moving out for the first time is to just breeeeathe and also to keep in touch with your family! When I first moved out for college last year I called my mom almost daily and it really helped me to miss her less, and she also made my dog bark on the phone for me so that I wouldn't have to miss her as much either! Phone calls and facetime are your best friend if you're worried about missing people from back home.
I’m actually loving these vlogs! Please continue them~
its 5:32am and i havent slept at all, i just came here to say i love you ♡
Lu_dot_jpg same...we should probs go to bed soon 😅
GERRELLEY ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ pixie and fanfiction are more important tbh
I struggled a lot with social anxiety before I went to art school, and I was so scared on my first day. Once I got comfortable though, I was so in my element and I came out of my shell so much. I also met almost all of my current friends there, and they're some of the coolest, kindest people I've ever met. It was the time of my life, and I'm so excited for you to experience those things !!!
her skin looks so cute and soft ;;;;
i love this video!!! so relaxingggg
I'm so glad you uploaded, i love your videos so much and its really helping me get through a very rough spot in my life. My boyfriend of a year and five months left me on thursday and it was not mutual at all to say the least. I really needed this today, thank you 💖💖💖
Moving away is excited! I went to college 14 hours away from home and it was awesome! It's a great opportunity to learn how to live by yourself and depend on yourself. I learned a lot about myself and learned to love myself more.
I TOOK A BREAK FROM MY HEARTCATCH PRECURE MARATHON FOR THIS
Chammz Dolly I took a break from a chemistry lab for this. Pixie trumps science, apparently! :)
I'm loving your vlogs!!!! I'm so happy you got in to fashion school! Never stop doing these vlogs!!!!!!!!!!!💖💖💖💖💖💖👑👑👑👑👑👑
YES GIRL MOVE TO MY PROVINCE
It's GOOD to be nervous to move out. And natural. It's hard to suddenly have other people in your space all the time, and trying to get use to other people's living habits. My best advice is to make sure everyone is communicating when things are becoming hard to deal with/making you stressed, and if possible, to have a space that's just for you. ❤ v important
I'M SO PROUD OF YOU
congrats on getting into fashion school! I just graduated my MA in fashion design, it was the best and also most stressful years ever! but also amazing and fun and cool and learning. yay.
the experimenter is my FAVE 😍 the scent, the colours and the popping candy!! xxx
previously i dun really know how the cats acts since im new to the club, but thanks to ur 2 vlogs up to date, i know and understand why u pamper them so much now haha! theyre adorable!
I was sent to school abroad when I was younger and initially it literally killed me. My #1 advice would be that (as a home-body myself), make sure you have a solid support system because when you're away from your home, your friends will be who you lean on the most for mental stability. Hopefully, it won't be a crummy year for you when you initially start, but it gets better if you keep your mind to it. :D It'll be full of adventure, I promise.
Gonna rock on down to Snoozville is going to be my new way to say that I'm tired, sleepy girl.✨👌💤 Also loving the cute furballs in the vlogs, wish I had pets. Congratulations on getting in to collegg! I am proud of you! Love you Jillian 💕✨🌈
You sewed the rainbow tennis skirt!!! It looks so good! 👏👏
every morning when i have sleep paralysis i watch your videos cause my sleep paralysis experiences are scary af and your videos are like so bright pink and cute it make me feel better
Congrats! I graduated this program 2 years ago and still do all the fashion shows! You will have the best time and meet your best friends for life!
First of all: congrats on getting into fashion school! This is amazing and you can be so proud of yourself!!
Now onto the whole moving out thing... I remember being terrified to move out too (well not exactly terrified but I kept catching myself finding excuses for not doing it...?) mostly because I was worried I wouldn't be able to take care of myself.
It's not like I don't know how to cook or do the laundry or whatever but I tend to forget to eat and weird stuff like that; plus I'm kind of scared to be alone.
Now I've been living on my own (actually with my partner) for almost 1 year and looking back most of the things I was worried about weren't really an issue. I actually eat more healthy than I used to do and I just get things done and organize and make things work in ways I never thought I could.
I was actually going to uni for four years already before I moved, so it wasn't completely new... but still.
My tips for moving out are:
- try moving in with friends (or someone else you feel comfortable with) if you're worried to get too lonely
- don't be scared to ask for help (be it moving furniture or getting your lease explained, the more you know the more secure you are and less people can try and screw you over)
- keep track of your spendings (food, etc - I make a list each month, collect receipts - but maybe you have to do that when you're self-employed already anyway), this way you can keep track of your monthly needs, can plan better, and so on
- try to make your new place comfortable. it's scary and hard in a new enviroment first but it's even harder when you don't feel home at your new place at all (it may take some time though, don't stress yourself over it, either!)
I don't know if these tips work for everyone but this is just want sprung into my head just now... I really enjoy your vlogs and videos (though I've been a silent observer till now) and hope you keep up the great work. Your will and excitement to learn and improve is truly inspiring and it always makes me happy to watch what you're up to (and your cats of course, let's be honest)!
Yay!! Congrats love!! I knew if you took the chance you would make it because you are obviously talented enough beyond your years but also, moving to a new place gives some of the best inspiration as an artist. Additionally, being surrounded by like minded individuals who love what you do is the best feeling of community and you’ll make so many new friends! You are going to have the time of your life and make the best memories! Savor every moment because it goes by too fast!! Stay true to yourself and don’t get caught up in relationships since you are so young! Trust me, you’ll have so much time for that! Plus, that’s what cats are for haha 😻
P.s. thank you for the extra cat footage, it’s just the best!!
The sleep could be hormonal imbalances. You may want to ask your doctor. I had that issue as well and it’s fixed with help from my doc. It’s worth it when you are in college or working full time, or both like me, to be less tired.
Pro tip: Once the surger is threaded, you can just tie the new thread you want to the end of the old thread with a flat knot and pull on the threads. The flat knot can go through the whole thing, except for the hole in the needle itself, so it's much easier to do that then to re-thread the whole thing every time you want to change colors.
Probably the only YTer I remove my ad blocker for and watch ads for 30 seconds xP Best videos always brighten my day :D
you're so cute!! thanks for always brightening my day ☀️
this video made me miss all my crafting! when my life resembles something sane again, I'm going back to it
That's amazing!! Congrats on getting into fashion school! You're gonna love it. Moving out and leaving everything you know to start a new chapter of your life is scary. But just from my own life I can tell you its worth it. I learned so much about myself, I became so empowered and confident when I left home and went to art school. I was in a new state, and new city, didn't know anyone there. But omg it was amazing, its so worth it to follow your dreams. Yes there were times when it was hard and scary and I got home sick also won't lie to you but in the long run it was all worth it. I have no doubt you're gonna do brilliantly and you're gonna blow them away!
Congrats on your acceptance! I moved across the U.S. (east coast to west coast) to go to college and now I'm living where I went to uni. If you're not living in dorms, try to connect with people by going to campus club meetings or welcome events. Meeting people at our dormitory and during our "welcome week" was the main way I established a new support system after moving to a new state 3000 miles away where I literally knew no one haha. Also, the homesickness didn't hit me until later since I was having a lot of fun in the first few months, but definitely skype with your parents and friends from back home a lot if you're missing them! But still be sure to meet new people because that's the most important part of feeling at home in a new place :) You're going to be in a fashion school so I'm sure you'll find lots of cool people with similar interests as you. Congrats and good luck!
i'm so happy for you !!! i'm such a moody lil egg and you and your colourful videos rly cheer me up, you deserve it soo oo oo much. ANYWAY. i'm a bean who decided to go to an arts school 300 miles away from home and i have anxiety (tm) too. you just gotta remember that there are gonna be soooo o o oo many people in the same boat as you, everybody gets homesick at some point and it doesn't matter whether you do ever. you're gonna be around likeminded people and you're gonna get so inspired and be so creative and its gonna be great, and even if you're sad you gotta remember you're doing the best thing you can possibly do for your future and it aint nobody's business whether you cried every day or were so happy that you never wanted to go back home. your friends and your family and your loved ones are gonna be a phonecall away (my mum is super supportive) and you're gonna make so many new inspiring friends and have a fab time !! ahhh!!
Congratulations on getting into college!!! I'm a senior wanting to get into animation and my school has been making us do a ton of applications so I understand how exciting yet some what scary it is! I hope you thrive well in your college and become a very successful fashion designer!! You're so amazing and inspire me as well so keep up the good work pixi!!!
Congratulations, Pixie!! I’m excited to see what beautiful creations you make during your education and beyond! ☆ You inspired me to continue pursuing fashion from how inspirational and unique your style is, I hope to inspire people with my own style like you do with yours!! best wishes
Moving out can be overwhelming! When I moved out of my Mom's house, I moved two states away and never felt more alone in my life. But after awhile its pretty exciting being out in the world, exploring it on your own! After 5 years I moved back to California, but to the opposite side of the state. (So I'm still about 13 hours away from my Fam)
Congratulations Pixie! I went to school for fashion as well. It can be really stressful at times but just keep pushing through and stay true to you. You'll meet a lot of creative and inspiring people along time way c:*
CONGRATS! welcome to the collage life
Congrats on getting into college Jillian! Your aesthetic is so adorable and I like watching your more chill vlog videos and your cats are so fluffy and cute! Lol
i was having a sad day and honestly your videos always seem to cheer me up!! and i'm super glad for u to get in to college !! 💕
Please continue these! On Sundays! My sis goes to work exactly when u upload then I have a nice smoothie and it's so perfect so please! Keep it up
I don't typically watch or enjoy blogs, but this was just so cute and nice to watch
YES JILLIAN I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!!!
Congratulations Pixie!! I’m so happy that you got into fashion school! You are awesome and inspire me everyday so I know you really deserve this! Keep doing what you do best and I love you!
I was watching this video with my cat and she is always so jealous when I watch videos with other cats especially when they meow. 😂💕
also I love watching ur videos, I am on vacation right now and watch ur vids 24/7 😂💕
Pixie Vlogs make me a happy bean. Congrats on getting into school girlie!! 💖💕🌈✨
I went to do fashion away for home, Iv gratuated thus year!
All I can say is when work is given do it straight away! There's lots of practical work!
And also congratulations!!!💕
SO PROUD OF YOU PIXIE after watching your cosplay vid you inspired me to sew and be alot more creative with everything thing I do! love you pixie💟
It's not weird for younger people to need a lot of sleep! When I was your age I used to come back from class and take a 4 hour nap like every day lol. Congrats on your acceptance letter!! And getting your surger! Honestly I kind of think of you as a role model even though you're almost a decade younger than me, because you're pursuing your dreams and getting so much done and I wish I had done that instead of getting a "more practical" degree. You're going to feel so good moving away from home. I know it's scary AF but you'll be amazed at how much you learn living on your own.
Also god your cats are so effin' cute
First of all, congratulations!!!! 🎉🎉🎉
Secondly, here's a tip for threading your serger. I almost never thread it myself, only if a thread broke or if I didn't see a spool being empty. If I want to change the color of the threads or something, I cut the current thread near the spool (on the back side of the serger) and attach the new thread I want to put. Then I grab the corresponding thread near the needle and move it all the way to the front. Hope that helps. :)
The Rose cosplaaayyy! 😍😍😍😍 Also congratz baby girl! ✨✨✨✨
Also your furbabes are too precious!
You're so beautiful w/o makeup girl😍 So happy for you, you're such an inspiration!! ♡
Omg girl I'm so excited for all of the exciting stuff that is happening in your life! I understand it can be scary but I'm sure you'll find your way ❤️🌈
Those peeps were so spoopy! I didn't know I needed this on august 2018! But I did.. thank you!
Congrats!! Enjoy this new chapter in your life, we are behind you 110%!
I love how much you've been posting these past few weeks!! 💕💕
when changing the thread, cut the old thread at the start near the spools of thread then tie on new thread (super small knots) then gently pull at old thread till the new thread is completely threaded. I hope that makes sense, but this way the new thread slides right into place where the old thread was. (cuz I think you said there was already thread threaded lol)
Congratulations!!!! That's actually the same school I am attending right now! You're gonna love it cx
PIXIE OMG GURRRL the overlocker is already threaded!! all you need to do is cut the wrong threads off at the back, like at the spools, then get your right threads and tie a knot between them, and pull the start of the wrong threads (at the needles) through, and voila! you don't have to go through that hellish process ever! i hope that's easy enough to understand (and hopefully not too late for you) but it takes you no time at all. eventually a thread will snap somewhere and you'll have to learn then, but they also normally have pictures on the inside, and colour co-ordinated bits to follow. also, you wont be able to pull the knots through the needles, but you just have to cut the knots off, and that's all you have to thread! the more difficult ones are the loopers, because they are inside the machine, but they are the ones that the knots can glide through. it also looked like the tension wheels weren't set, so that's where the real 'fun' begins, trying to work out what goes where and how tight they should be. if you can't do it yourself, definitely go get it serviced by some professionals, it's much easier when you have no clue what you're doing. good luck pixie!!!
I usually don't like blogs but I love you and care about your blogs
I'm living for these vlogs Gillian! 💕
You know i moved out when I was 18. I was crying more than my parents were. But I think the more you spend time away the better it gets .You start developing what works for you. Plus get your self involved with groups and how you meet friends.
Well done, don’t underestimate how terrified EVERYONE who’s going to college next fall feels. But you know it’s right for you doll xxxxx
Im heckin proud of you girlie 👏💖 Can't wait to see where you go with fashion design. Keep following your dreams!
Good luck with your new babe! Also hum this made me want my cat even more so I'm going to start saving HARD. He's such a good boy
You and your cats are the cutest thing!
I loooooove your editing, this is so cute and cozy
Congratulations!!! Next year I'm moving abroad and it's super scary, but I'm pursuing my dream career! Wish you the best!!!!
Thankyou gurl found you a week ago and you literally saved my life lol. Like the part of life when you make homework ^^
IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU PIXIE!
