Isabel, you look so healthy and alive these days. That's great that you were able to do the interview and it's really fun seeing what you and your brother do creatively!
hey isabel. i’m 17, from the uk. i started watching your videos a while back when i was in a low place, and they really helped me. your content reminded me to be present and appreciate the small things. i’ve noticed recently the format of your content has slightly shifted. the quality of the videos are great, don’t get me wrong, but it doesn’t feel as natural as it used to. don’t pressurise yourself to make everything you video ‘perfect’! your videos will be incredible either way. be your authentic self, and don’t worry what anyone thinks :) you inspire so many people!
I think she can’t find herself. The Cottage Fairy became so successful because she stuck to her theme and never changed. She gained 1.5 million viewers and still growing, for she is truly authentic, she possess a rich vocabulary and she is genuinely sweet.
I think it is really fun to watch her try out different styles. For me it is not less natural or trying to be perfect. It is more staged and cinematic, but in a great way.
I like this video a lot!!! Been following you for years and i gotta tell you its not about the videos you make i love watching YOU. Seeing you in a big city and looking at it through your lenses has also felt so nice. The shots are terrific!! Love you Isabel, keep doing whatever your heart tells you to do. We are always here 🤍
I personally am not surprised at all your videos are changing because that is what we do. We change our whole lives. It's natural to evolve, even if that means holding some things close to ourselves and not sharing it. Choosing what and how and who you want to share things with is perfectly acceptable. Love your content and especially love that you are choosing to face fears and push past the discomfort to new experiences. You glow! ❤
I really miss your older type of videos. I could watch them all day and more content like that would be the cherry on top😍.May be we are accustomed to seeing the real and natural you, so any change is difficult to accept😅. Anyway…Shine Bright girl❤
Why do you think, that you know what the real and natural state of her is? You said it yourself, she changed. But it is literally impossible not to and also stupid. If you want to hold on to the past, watch the videos back. But stop projecting you own wishes of stagnation onto others.
She's been talking about getting out of a rut with her content and doubting if she should change her content for along time now because she's afraid of doing something different. I would like to encourage her to break through and try something different instead of worrying about what others will think.
I was obsessed with her old videos!!! I would watch them twice. I couldn’t wait until they came out. I must say I am not connecting with these new stories as much at all. But I will always love Isabel!
When I first started watching you were living alone. You were one of the happiest people I know of. You had a job you would take off go on your little trips, always doing yoga going up on the hill early in the morning. You were so happy it was contagious. I never ever once heard you complain or have doubts about your self. There were times then when you had reason to when your water was chilled. I am not judging just trying to understand why all the self doubt now ? You have so much going for you in your favour. I have so much admiration for you, you are very clever, good cook, beautiful, you have taken care of of your self. You have to have confidence to be able to do that. There are so many followers wishing that had your life was as clever as you could do some of the things that you can do. I think you are too hard on your self. I am a grandmother I enjoy you way of life enjoy watching your videos.
Because she needs new content ideas. Has to be a topic or 'life lesson' to waffle on about. I too loved the rawness of the old original videos, but that's social media isn't it? As the machine grows and the beast takes over it becomes more about income streams and engagement numbers than it does the honesty of your content. But given how much time and effort the production would take, it's understandable, I mean it IS her job now. But all the 'struggles' and things like self doubt and anxieties are all fabrications to keep the content somewhat varied if you ask me. Sadly it's turned into pretty contrived rubbish these days......Is what it is though.
@@turnbullturnbull8135 I am inclined to believe you, it seems now days everything is so commercialized fake it becomes all about the money. I look at it this manner if it’s working why change it. I like the real thing not fake, that’s just me.
@@turnbullturnbull8135 exactly that! It is al made up...and nowadays, unfortunately, people are only complaining about what is not good about anything...People are so distracted, in many ways, from theirselves and from what really matters in life...which brings many unhappy and complaining people. The weird thing is, that people want to compair...so the only thing she can do (i saw it already couple of time ago, when I was scrolling through her thumbnails and red her titles), is making video's about what is not good...about her, about whatever..So people can compare and see other 'victims'...too bad actually...and too sad, that the world (and his people) got this far and low... But that is meaning of what happens on the world..and just a few people see it.
@@turnbullturnbull8135 Contrived is the word. Viewers think this is real, but from the start it has been a lovely fabrication, all for the income. I have posted more than once about the cheesecake shots she uses for thumbnails, all for the sole purpose of drawing in the audience that cares nothing about bread baking but wants to see Logan's camera look down her dress. That thong bikini shot next to the wintry pond (seriously? A bikini in winter?) has been used more than once. Sex sells.
Another fantastic story! I can't wait for the interview video! Jack seems like he takes such good care of his guests, and he asks such great questions too!
This is I think hand down the most beautiful video you have made yet! It reminds me of We Anderson. The writing, you clothes, the shots! This is a masterpiece.
I just bought myself a kayak and I’m getting over the fear of going out on the water, alone. It’s been so peaceful, kinda scary and has brought me to some realizations I wouldn’t have found otherwise.
@@itscarolinemaryGive it a try on your own maybe later he will join you, never let fear hold you back . The reason I say this I live alone if I wanted on someone else my life would have been so boring. I do what I have to do on my own. I have a good life, happy life. Fear is our worst enemy hold us back from having a great time a feeling of pride when you accomplish something new. We were given life to live I believe in living it enjoying it to the best of my ability. I just go for it if it something I get enjoyment out of.
I'd love if you did a video on how you make your videos so cinematic and how you film yourself like that! Also I know some people are saying they liked your old video format better but I personally really enjoyed this cinematic format, and I know you're creative so I thought it was an internal passion to make your videos more artsy, because as a creative person myself I thrive when pushing myself to make my creations more poetic. Whatever it is, do what your heart desires! We'll love your videos just the same 💕
Lots of comments about life + transitions and watching Isabelle over the years. As someone in their late 20's I can relate to Isabelle. Late teens, early 20's it was yes to everything, little fear, and a quick recovery from failure. As I got older and became more aware of my actions, it felt like I got a bit scared too. Now nearing 29, I feel like I am piecing myself back together, building a new life with lessons learned and confidence. We all have seasons, and chapters and Isabelle is gracious enough to allow us to follow along for hers.
I love how your goals are to see a bridge and eat a loaf of bread. It just kinda knocks me on the head how you don't have to do everything you possibly can in one trip because I'm so used to running around when I travel. These goals are just so you and I love that!
I agree, some of the best of this video is what she didn't do. Example: She completely bypasses Boudin Sourdough Bread, basically the Disney Land of bread companies, a company worth hundreds of millions and instead goes to Tartins a neighborhood bread company few have heard. She was clearly there on business. Maybe talking recipes with Boudin or talking to her boss (and everyone else that makes money on UA-cam) UA-cams owner Google, that could make anyone nervous. Most likely it was a company wanting her to back a product. A Google customer.
Oh Isabel, i live in the UK im a mum of 5 and ive followed you for years watching you blossom which you have but watch your ego doesn’t run off with you, dont conform to what you think everyone wants; Imo i think the simplicity you embodied is what everyone craved , myself included. Money can bring loosing oneself from their authentic self. Sending you love and light and remember to not loose sight of the simple beauty……..
I’ve always loved your videos, and recently they have gotten so cinematic and even more enjoyable. Keep doing what you’re doing :) Also, red is your color!
Jack Conte is such a super human being. It is perfect that you connected with him. He has a very unique positive take on life. He sees life as it is and sees the potential for positive change/momentum. Looking forward to see how you 2 interacted.
OMG Isabel. I'm a native San Franciscan and I was so worried about you sitting alone on the beach at night. The city is beautiful, but not the same, safe, place it was many years ago. I'm happy to see you enjoyed yourself and got back home safely. ❤
@@lisapardini3594 I was born in SF and like any other city, it goes through and is going through changes. I still live here and I’m tired of the negative hype. I was just at the same beach (Crissy Field) alone at night and it was so beautiful. I felt completely safe. San Francisco is a truly beautiful city. A few blocks of Market street and out of the way industrial places have adducted unhoused but go to similar parts of NYC and LA and you will find the same.
Loved this video. I don't know exactly what it was but to me your uncertainty and grace in hard situations shone through. I think I liked that it didn't feel like you needed to state exactly what lesson to impart, but it was thematically consistent and the visuals are beautiful. I'm noticing some comments that they miss your old videos, but I for one am glad that you feel like your work is allowed to grow and you are able to experiment.
Amazing!!!! Brave!!!! I resonate so so so much. Your videos have always warmed my soul and they still do. I love your movie Esq style. Keep going!!! Big hugs. Can’t wait to watch that interview.
Isabel, I really love you 😂 as a German, seeing you eating that massive loaf of bread touches my heard deeply hahaha. I loved this video! Thanks for being so open and authentic in this space and I really enjoy your content. It inspires me and leaves me with a good feeling ❤ You can be proud of yourself that you have faced your fear. I also carry a lot of fears inside me but love to go through it as it leaves me feeling empowered afterwards. For that feeling it is worth it!
So cool to see you in the city I was born and raised in. I appreciate the inspiration to do things out of your comfort zone even through the feelings of fear and failing but also not wanting to regret not trying. The shots of you with the loaf of bread and the bridge are iconic bc I’ve watched you for years now and had no idea you were from the bay! Thanks for sharing.
You were in my hood in SF!!! I’m near Tartines and I just went there. Bummed that I could’ve possibly have seen you there. Glad you enjoyed SF. The beach with the view of the Golden Gate is magnificent. I Never stop loving it. I love your stories, they’re magical keep telling them. Thank you 🙏
Isabel, a bit of an adventure going on your own, I must say you are very clever how you manage to get the filming done. Look forward to next week. Love from Mike. ❤
Nice!! Really enjoyed this. When I read the title “ facing my fears”, I thought “Oh crap! Another downer video.”. But this was really good and really enjoyable! ☮️💕💕💕
I quit making videos when my life got complicated and didn’t make sense. I was up and down, I wanted something one day and another thing the next. I was embarrassed to share that, so I quit UA-cam for a long time. It was the greatest mistake of my creative career. I wish I had been more authentic with experimenting with life, being human and capturing my truth. I was too afraid to share it with the world. I was not sure what to film because I knew it would confuse people, but I wish I hadn’t stopped. I wish I had done what you have so gracefully done. I don’t live with many regrets and I regret putting my channel to the side. Until my life made sense again, for us artists we will always live on this wild rollercoaster ride. Those who aren’t artists will never understand this is our normal and it’s also what allows us to continue to create things. It’s the behind the scenes of the creative mind. While I realize this…. I am blown away by the amount of people complaining about the beautiful cinematography they’re consuming for free, acting as if this girl is supposed to stay the same as she was when she was far younger and still learning about how to use a camera. Your resistance to change, is a sign you may want to question within your own self. Anyone on here commenting about how the new style of Isabel’s videos isn’t the same, is correct but I would highly recommend something. For those of you following creative people on social media, you can’t ask a painter to stick to one style of art. It traps our souls. Sometimes we must experiment with new colors and mediums to grow and find what our next style will be. We aren’t meant to do the same exact thing our entire lives. Some of you should stop blaming the creator and take a look inwards. Your neurological pathways are telling you that you don’t like it because your brain is wired to resist change. It’s like when you know a person to look a certain way or have a specific name, then they change. It feels slightly strange if you had already known that person, but there is nothing strange about change. Whether it be appearance, name, style, etc. Isabel is one of the only creators on UA-cam who has remained this consistent for this long and your brain has gotten used to that sameness she gave flawlessly. It’s not realistic to expect someone who’s sharing their life about growing into a young woman with a creative purpose, to stay the exact same and film the exact same way. Encouraging that is a reflection on your inability to disable rigid expectations and to cast blame of lacking authenticity, is just far too contrasting from the truth and completely out of alignment with what this girl stands for. If you can’t see that, you are missing the entire point of her channel. Isabel has created sooooo many videos, sometimes I rewatch old ones! If you want to see her old content, go rewatch the 100s of videos from before. Grow with her, or feel left behind. We are lucky to watch her evolve and lucky to have her setting an example for those truly wanting to grow, since life is pure change as we live in an expanding universe and exist to evolve. The fact that Isabel is doing this creatively under the eye of a lens for us to watch from the comfort of our own screen, is a gift. It’s a privilege to have an inside look to someone creatively exploring their abilities and adventures in front of an audience, when most people don’t ever evolve or hide while doing so. We are blessed to have been a part of her journey and witness creativity expand consistently since she started this UA-cam channel. It’s about as authentic as it gets.
im facing new stuff and with the unknown comes fear, so im v grateful to have something soothing and beautifully crafted to delve into (your videos) to soothe my extremely stressed out, lonesome feeling soul. thanks isabel
Dont be so hard on yourself Izzy ❤ youre doing well. Perhaps rewatch ur old videos and connect to that innocence and authenticity, while also finding balance with trying to create something new and experimental. Love you. And Remember what the yogis say, when we aren't our authentic self it creates dis-ease in our bodies. I also miss the yoga and outdoor cooking videos and wisdom about nature 🤗 you are blessed to have the home & life you have. ❤
I can’t keep up with you anymore girl. One minute you say you’re lonely, the next you want more time alone. Say you want to move somewhere more lively then next week you want to be deep in the forest. Said you were breaking up with your S/O then the next minute you’re married. I hope you find contentment someday.
Love Logan’s English accent. Gosh, I think if someone paid for my flight, I think I’d do it just to make new discoveries of a place I’d never been to before. So proud of you for doing ‘scary things’. 🎉
i'm also doing something scary that i've never done before this month and i can totally relate to what you go through in this video, i'm trying to be calm about it but it's still nerve wracking! you handled it so well though. and omg i love pottery, good luck with the mug making!!
I've been watching your vids for years. I've enjoyed every single one of them. BUT, I'm so enjoying the new series and production of your new content! Thank you for following your artistic talent and please don't listen to the naysayers on here. You are a diamond!!
the bridge 😂 I went a couple years ago and all I saw was the tip! It was soooo foggy. 😂 That's literally my luck. The one time I make it over from Oklahoma the WHOLE Golden Gate Bridge is enclosed in fog the whole time I'm there. 😅
I was like… that’s Jack! That’s a pretty amazing interview opportunity!!! Can’t wait to see it! And honestly, fear is something I feel so much and it’s never ever worth it! Life happens on the other side of it ❤
As a long time follower, the production of this video was hands down your best yet. Anybody who thinks otherwise has zero style! Wes Anderson vibes but better!! So unique, clever and interesting. Loved every second - pleeeeasse keep experimenting with this!
Welcome to the Bay Area. Where I grew up. I made and sold pottery back in 2021. It was a lot of fun. It takes a firm strong hand and core, for sure. Youll get it, looking forward to seeing your finished mug.
Love the new format story line and new photo journalist photographer and punches of bright red mostly and spots of yellow. Very clever and artsy and delightfully different approach - narration / photography stellar 🎉
I've let fear hold me back in a lot of ways over my life. I still don't know how to drive at 31. I want to learn but I'm terrified of getting into a crash or not being aware of everything around me. I used to deal with panic attacks in enclosed spaces too, in traffic, school exams and such so the thought of being the one behind the wheel is scary ❤ I need to one day try though. I've also wanted to take pottery classes but doing it on my own sounds scary!
The thing with conquering your fear of driving is that driving will give you so much freedom. Want to go see stunning natural beauty on your day off? All you’ve got to do is hop in and choose a destination. No coordination with others, just the freedom to do as you please and when without external factors dictating your timing and destination. I don’t want to discount your fear, or the cost of vehicle ownership and maintenance(just picked up my car with a new transmission in it yesterday actually😢). Just hoping you don’t lose sight of the other side. Small things lead to bigger things so maybe if your ID is expiring soon you replace it with a permit and see if anyone you know is down to walk you through things in an empty parking lot? Sending you fear conquering vibes.
Not that anyone asked 🙈 but feedback can be so helpful especially from your audience who has been following along for years -- the past 2 videos with the narrator voicing the beginning is a turn off imo, I cant even exactly put my finger on why but like definitely giving me the ick. 😬 I mean that in the most loving way possible...its just adding a layer of inauthenticity or something which I'm sure is the last thing you want. The videos are still beautiful and it's still interesting to follow your journey but it's just that initial voiceover is enough of a distraction that I don't want to watch the rest in case it randomly continues to pop in. JMO obvs.
I totally get where you are coming from. I don't think it bothered me quite as much but it does bother me. My initial thought was that the voice is a bit ... creepy to me. I almost feel like a different - warm and welcoming voice might just work.
Interesting! Everyone’s diff so value your diff opinion. I just wanted to share that I feel she may be experimenting with an almost indie-alt style of cinema atm which really leans on awkward/quirkiness. That’s my two cents. But I obvs understand if it’s not your vibe - just thought maybe it would bring some context as to the planning and intention behind it all 🌟. And I guess it’s just the reality of being an artist; not everyone will vibe your art and maybe even those who did at one point won’t resonate with it when you’re in a different season and exploring different styles of expression. I really find it such a brave thang haha !! Anyway- cool convo, thanks for opening the discussion.
Glad you did so well on the interview! I knew you would. I have to get a big haircut & go on job interviews soon, too. Many. To the point where I get good at them - Best skill to have.
This video was chef's kiss. I can only imagine the work it took to get those public shots and make them look so cinematic, especially at the airport.
RIGHT i was thinking the same thing the courage to do that in public and to also have you back completely away from the cameraaa, that takes a lot!!
Does she have help? Another person? It would be weird to run outside and film yourself walking down a hall. Then run out to get your camera
@@frankjamesbonarrigo7162 I’m sure she has had help from the people she shares spaces with but it’s definitely all her, I don’t think it’s weird some aspects of setting up a camera solo
Might feel strange for but it's it's just what it takes to capture life and set up shots to tell her story, it's beautiful!
⑦
The scene of the airplane taking off in the background was golden.
That’s my local airport!
Isabel, you look so healthy and alive these days. That's great that you were able to do the interview and it's really fun seeing what you and your brother do creatively!

Jack Conte is such a super human being. It is perfect that you connected with him. He has a very unique positive take on life. He sees life as it is and sees the potential for positive change/momentum. Looking forward to see how you 2 interacted.
It’s so cool seeing you in different settings and seeing your life flourish :D Good for you Isabel ❤️
I love these videos. Reminds me of old school me, like, the best me I could be.
i'm so proud of you isabel!
OMG Isabel. I'm a native San Franciscan and I was so worried about you sitting alone on the beach at night. The city is beautiful, but not the same, safe, place it was many years ago. I'm happy to see you enjoyed yourself and got back home safely. ❤
from one native to another… really?? 🙄
@@lisapardini3594 she was not alone, are you kidding?
@@lisapardini3594 I was born in SF and like any other city, it goes through and is going through changes. I still live here and I’m tired of the negative hype. I was just at the same beach (Crissy Field) alone at night and it was so beautiful. I felt completely safe. San Francisco is a truly beautiful city. A few blocks of Market street and out of the way industrial places have adducted unhoused but go to similar parts of NYC and LA and you will find the same.
Do you even live in SF? Stop lying to yourself you see the shit on the sidewalk and all the homeless people starting trouble. Shame on you.
Loved this video. I don't know exactly what it was but to me your uncertainty and grace in hard situations shone through. I think I liked that it didn't feel like you needed to state exactly what lesson to impart, but it was thematically consistent and the visuals are beautiful. I'm noticing some comments that they miss your old videos, but I for one am glad that you feel like your work is allowed to grow and you are able to experiment.
Amazing!!!! Brave!!!! I resonate so so so much. Your videos have always warmed my soul and they still do. I love your movie Esq style. Keep going!!! Big hugs. Can’t wait to watch that interview.
Isabel, I really love you 😂 as a German, seeing you eating that massive loaf of bread touches my heard deeply hahaha. I loved this video! Thanks for being so open and authentic in this space and I really enjoy your content. It inspires me and leaves me with a good feeling ❤ You can be proud of yourself that you have faced your fear. I also carry a lot of fears inside me but love to go through it as it leaves me feeling empowered afterwards. For that feeling it is worth it!
So cool to see you in the city I was born and raised in. I appreciate the inspiration to do things out of your comfort zone even through the feelings of fear and failing but also not wanting to regret not trying. The shots of you with the loaf of bread and the bridge are iconic bc I’ve watched you for years now and had no idea you were from the bay! Thanks for sharing.
your videos are so enchanting ✨💛
Congratulations for overcoming another fear ❤
Not a croissant it’s a pain au chocolat 🥲 what a nice video and the bread seems gooooood
You were in my hood in SF!!! I’m near Tartines and I just went there. Bummed that I could’ve possibly have seen you there. Glad you enjoyed SF. The beach with the view of the Golden Gate is magnificent. I Never stop loving it. I love your stories, they’re magical keep telling them.
Thank you 🙏
@@dianedittbrenner913 I live near Dolores park. Thank you for confirming the beauty of this city.
LOL your shit riddled crime infested city. Lovely. Yes, I live in the Bay Area too. I have eyes.
I find those new videos so cute and fun! Thank you for sharing all those thoughts with us ! 💗
Isabel, a bit of an adventure going on your own, I must say you are very clever how you manage to get the filming done. Look forward to next week.
Love from Mike. ❤
Ooooh this was fun! Thanks for sharing Isabel 😊
Beautifully done, short and sweet.
Acronym for fear, face everything and recover
I like that.
Love it! 🙌🏼🥰
false evidence appearing real
@@MargaretMAnderson that’s a good one all so
Free expression as revolution. X
Nice!! Really enjoyed this. When I read the title “ facing my fears”, I thought “Oh crap! Another downer video.”. But this was really good and really enjoyable! ☮️💕💕💕
I quit making videos when my life got complicated and didn’t make sense. I was up and down, I wanted something one day and another thing the next. I was embarrassed to share that, so I quit UA-cam for a long time. It was the greatest mistake of my creative career. I wish I had been more authentic with experimenting with life, being human and capturing my truth. I was too afraid to share it with the world. I was not sure what to film because I knew it would confuse people, but I wish I hadn’t stopped. I wish I had done what you have so gracefully done.
I don’t live with many regrets and I regret putting my channel to the side. Until my life made sense again, for us artists we will always live on this wild rollercoaster ride. Those who aren’t artists will never understand this is our normal and it’s also what allows us to continue to create things. It’s the behind the scenes of the creative mind. While I realize this…. I am blown away by the amount of people complaining about the beautiful cinematography they’re consuming for free, acting as if this girl is supposed to stay the same as she was when she was far younger and still learning about how to use a camera. Your resistance to change, is a sign you may want to question within your own self.
Anyone on here commenting about how the new style of Isabel’s videos isn’t the same, is correct but I would highly recommend something. For those of you following creative people on social media, you can’t ask a painter to stick to one style of art. It traps our souls. Sometimes we must experiment with new colors and mediums to grow and find what our next style will be. We aren’t meant to do the same exact thing our entire lives. Some of you should stop blaming the creator and take a look inwards. Your neurological pathways are telling you that you don’t like it because your brain is wired to resist change. It’s like when you know a person to look a certain way or have a specific name, then they change. It feels slightly strange if you had already known that person, but there is nothing strange about change. Whether it be appearance, name, style, etc.
Isabel is one of the only creators on UA-cam who has remained this consistent for this long and your brain has gotten used to that sameness she gave flawlessly. It’s not realistic to expect someone who’s sharing their life about growing into a young woman with a creative purpose, to stay the exact same and film the exact same way. Encouraging that is a reflection on your inability to disable rigid expectations and to cast blame of lacking authenticity, is just far too contrasting from the truth and completely out of alignment with what this girl stands for. If you can’t see that, you are missing the entire point of her channel.
Isabel has created sooooo many videos, sometimes I rewatch old ones! If you want to see her old content, go rewatch the 100s of videos from before. Grow with her, or feel left behind.
We are lucky to watch her evolve and lucky to have her setting an example for those truly wanting to grow, since life is pure change as we live in an expanding universe and exist to evolve.
The fact that Isabel is doing this creatively under the eye of a lens for us to watch from the comfort of our own screen, is a gift. It’s a privilege to have an inside look to someone creatively exploring their abilities and adventures in front of an audience, when most people don’t ever evolve or hide while doing so. We are blessed to have been a part of her journey and witness creativity expand consistently since she started this UA-cam channel. It’s about as authentic as it gets.
Beautiful!!!❤
❤️😊🌟Thanks for Shining Bright👍❣️
im facing new stuff and with the unknown comes fear, so im v grateful to have something soothing and beautifully crafted to delve into (your videos) to soothe my extremely stressed out, lonesome feeling soul. thanks isabel
Does everything she create just keep getting better? ugh you're such an inspiration! I can't wait till you get to the 1 MIL!
Loving the style of these videos 🤩
I'm so glad the interview and day went so well ❤❤❤
Early! Excited for another adventurous vlog
*Fear and Excitement activate the same stimuli... our brains choose how to react to it (fear or excitement). The CHOICE is always ours*
Ah that's interesting, thanks 👍🏻
I love your new content it’s a masterpiece ❤
God bless you on your journey
Apart from the great content, I have to say: What an amazing (!!) cinematography 😯😍 Such a joy to watch!
Dont be so hard on yourself Izzy ❤ youre doing well. Perhaps rewatch ur old videos and connect to that innocence and authenticity, while also finding balance with trying to create something new and experimental. Love you. And Remember what the yogis say, when we aren't our authentic self it creates dis-ease in our bodies. I also miss the yoga and outdoor cooking videos and wisdom about nature 🤗 you are blessed to have the home & life you have. ❤
Love the content girl ❤️ keep going
Loved this one!! 💖
I can’t keep up with you anymore girl. One minute you say you’re lonely, the next you want more time alone. Say you want to move somewhere more lively then next week you want to be deep in the forest. Said you were breaking up with your S/O then the next minute you’re married. I hope you find contentment someday.
She’s definitely at that age of confusion. We’ve all been there in our 20s.
I thought i was the only one who remembered about the breakup! No one ever talks about it
This comment is rude and unnecessary..
The time they nearly broke up was almost a year before they married.
That's the curated scripted fantasy online life for you:))) The videos are beautiful and calming -- just enjoy them for the fiction that they are.
Tbh Isabel is one of my comfort person 💗
This video was chef’s kiss! ❤
I LOVEEEE the videos you are putting out lately! SOOOO comforting!!! 💕✨
Love Logan’s English accent.
Gosh, I think if someone paid for my flight, I think I’d do it just to make new discoveries of a place I’d never been to before. So proud of you for doing ‘scary things’. 🎉
Another wonderfully crafted video
i'm also doing something scary that i've never done before this month and i can totally relate to what you go through in this video, i'm trying to be calm about it but it's still nerve wracking! you handled it so well though. and omg i love pottery, good luck with the mug making!!
I've been watching your vids for years. I've enjoyed every single one of them. BUT, I'm so enjoying the new series and production of your new content! Thank you for following your artistic talent and please don't listen to the naysayers on here. You are a diamond!!
the airport and city shots look amazing
Your filming style is always top tier
Jack has an excellent pod cast. Looking forward to it.
what's the name of his podcast?
I would also love to know :)
Jack who? She never said.
the bridge 😂
I went a couple years ago and all I saw was the tip! It was soooo foggy. 😂 That's literally my luck. The one time I make it over from Oklahoma the WHOLE Golden Gate Bridge is enclosed in fog the whole time I'm there. 😅
You did the thing I fear most!! You got married this year!! 🎉
Ditto!
isabel paige its great to see you spending for yourself and spending time with your brother thats so nice.
I can see you living in sf in another life! it’s the best 💓
Digital Spaguetti 😂❤ LOVE THEM SO SO MUCH!
Someone is video taping her. Those shots cannot be done by her alone. Maybe Logan went with her. She was not alone.
Tbh I think she sets up the camera and then runs back to it after she's filmed
Isabel you have a very beauitful life....Don't every regret or get discouged..love to see your videos. They life up people ..
holy shit the production level is top notch
I miss old videos.
I love these ❤
I was like… that’s Jack! That’s a pretty amazing interview opportunity!!! Can’t wait to see it! And honestly, fear is something I feel so much and it’s never ever worth it! Life happens on the other side of it ❤
What’s Jack’s channel? I would love to look for it.
@@lilbees2618 probably this one: www.youtube.com/@JackConteExtras
@@lilbees2618me too
As a long time follower, the production of this video was hands down your best yet. Anybody who thinks otherwise has zero style! Wes Anderson vibes but better!! So unique, clever and interesting. Loved every second - pleeeeasse keep experimenting with this!
Thank you , isabel for this change of pace episode. Nice to get away. You're always so refreshing. Catch you next time sweet gal.❤❤❤
I love this!
Always a Pleasure!!
Thank you.
Welcome to the Bay Area. Where I grew up. I made and sold pottery back in 2021. It was a lot of fun. It takes a firm strong hand and core, for sure. Youll get it, looking forward to seeing your finished mug.
But you’re not really alone is it?
Love the new format story line and new photo journalist photographer and punches of bright red mostly and spots of yellow. Very clever and artsy and delightfully different approach - narration / photography stellar 🎉
Isabel, we support you.
Thank you for your beautiful videos. ❤
thank you, that was wonderful!
I've let fear hold me back in a lot of ways over my life. I still don't know how to drive at 31. I want to learn but I'm terrified of getting into a crash or not being aware of everything around me. I used to deal with panic attacks in enclosed spaces too, in traffic, school exams and such so the thought of being the one behind the wheel is scary ❤ I need to one day try though. I've also wanted to take pottery classes but doing it on my own sounds scary!
The thing with conquering your fear of driving is that driving will give you so much freedom. Want to go see stunning natural beauty on your day off? All you’ve got to do is hop in and choose a destination. No coordination with others, just the freedom to do as you please and when without external factors dictating your timing and destination.
I don’t want to discount your fear, or the cost of vehicle ownership and maintenance(just picked up my car with a new transmission in it yesterday actually😢). Just hoping you don’t lose sight of the other side. Small things lead to bigger things so maybe if your ID is expiring soon you replace it with a permit and see if anyone you know is down to walk you through things in an empty parking lot? Sending you fear conquering vibes.
Love you Isabel! You keep doing you sister🫶🏼
Isabel: "One of my goals for 2024 is spending more time with people"
Also Isabel: "This year I'm gonna focus on spending more time alone"
Whatever sounds right at the time. People think this is real. It is a soap opera, carefully scripted, shot and edited.
@@thardyryll If it's a soap opera, so what? If people enjoy it, so what? It feels authentically who she is. That's all that really matters.
you eating an entire loaf of sourdough on the beach is iconic. love your channel, isabel!
I honestly don't think she would or could eat a whole loaf on her own, do you?
@@ttephi3667 she most definitely did not eat that entire loaf of bread.
@@dunjica77 Yes, I don't think so either😂
Not that anyone asked 🙈 but feedback can be so helpful especially from your audience who has been following along for years -- the past 2 videos with the narrator voicing the beginning is a turn off imo, I cant even exactly put my finger on why but like definitely giving me the ick. 😬 I mean that in the most loving way possible...its just adding a layer of inauthenticity or something which I'm sure is the last thing you want. The videos are still beautiful and it's still interesting to follow your journey but it's just that initial voiceover is enough of a distraction that I don't want to watch the rest in case it randomly continues to pop in. JMO obvs.
I totally get where you are coming from. I don't think it bothered me quite as much but it does bother me. My initial thought was that the voice is a bit ... creepy to me. I almost feel like a different - warm and welcoming voice might just work.
Interesting! Everyone’s diff so value your diff opinion. I just wanted to share that I feel she may be experimenting with an almost indie-alt style of cinema atm which really leans on awkward/quirkiness. That’s my two cents. But I obvs understand if it’s not your vibe - just thought maybe it would bring some context as to the planning and intention behind it all 🌟. And I guess it’s just the reality of being an artist; not everyone will vibe your art and maybe even those who did at one point won’t resonate with it when you’re in a different season and exploring different styles of expression. I really find it such a brave thang haha !! Anyway- cool convo, thanks for opening the discussion.
For me it's the constant depressing speeches all the time in videos .. less talking more filming.
Glad you did so well on the interview! I knew you would. I have to get a big haircut & go on job interviews soon, too. Many. To the point where I get good at them - Best skill to have.
I like both versions of your content. I’ve enjoyed your story telling. I’m surprised that other people don’t enjoy it.
