Hi Patricia, thank you so much! I might talk about my book preferences in a future video :) For now, I do have a few book review videos on Patreon as well :)
Fue agradable ver este vídeo. Hoy yo también me levanté tarde. Y todavía no me he podido despertar bien! Espero que te recuperes pronto. Cuídate! Saludos desde Uruguay.
Super refreshing to see a vlog like this from you! I really liked the more laid-back style and less rigid structure. Even if it was just to fill the schedule, it was nice to get a little glimpse into your life and see what your patreon is all about. Best wishes and get well soon, Vera! 🤗
Yes it is, so awesome that you recognize it!😍The Trails games are so good, I'm happy to hear you played and liked them so much! 🥰Estelle is my favorite character in the entire series too actually! @@SimpleHappyZen
@@caar6611 Haha yes! I love those games so much. I also have a phone wallpaper of Estelle, Joshua and Lloyd haha. The games that are in Crossbell are supercool too. And Olivier, I love him too haha.
That sounds like a really cute wallpaper! I recently finished Azure and I loved Lloyd's arc and character too. And yes, Olivier is just hilarious in every scene he is in. Anelace and Crow are also some of my faves, but the series just has so many characters to like in general haha. @@SimpleHappyZen
haha. When you asked if I've ever seen anybody who struggles that much to put a simple table together, my answer is, "yes". When I put things together, even with instructions, I struggle a bunch. Also loved the video. Thank you for letting us into your life like this. It was really cool.
Yay, so glad you enjoyed the video and that I'm not the only one struggling with assembling furniture haha. Actually still a little proud I got it in the end 😅
Oh I totally feel for you, I just moved into a new apartment a week ago, I did my own style thorough cleaning and scrubbing of the apartment. It now meets my expectations. All furniture is fixed up in all rooms, now just working on laying out all decorations little by little!
Loved the vlog 🐞❤️ Enjoy your new table it’s so nice. Let us know if the vitamin c serum is good. Still praying 🙏for peace in my part of the world. Have a great week ahead ❤😘
Thanks for the lovely day in your life vlog Vera! It's lovely to see you settled in your new home and the day-to-day upkeeping. I hope you feel better soon! 🤗Definitely would be happy for any vlogs on the main channel when you need to take a break and your patrons are happy to share! Love the music recommendations while you were cleaning - need to make a cleaning/work playlist for myself for longer/slightly boring tasks!💗💗
You're welcome, so glad you enjoyed it!! 🤗🍵 I definitely vlog a lot more on patreon, but I might do it on UA-cam sometimes as well 😊 Also kind of depends on how this video ends up doing here. Thanks for the good vibes, have a great day!
This was absolutely one of my favorite videos of yours, Vera so thank you. It's so nice to be able to see a typical day with you and see you go through your routines. I would love more videos on your skincare and makeup routine!
Finally after 6 months I do feel better and so I started this week with trying to get things back in order after the renovation in April, but now they are all interrupting me with friendly phone calls 😅. Very nice to talk to everyone, but it makes it difficult to get my things done this way. So tomorrow I will not answer any calls any go for my chores. Already for 6 months it feels like I’m living in a new home but with a lot of mess around me. I must say that I admire you for doing your chores with a temperature of 29 degrees 🤍. By the way I have the same mopping device as you and it still works fine for me as well.
I’m so very thankful for you sharing this advice! I just was gifted this year an espresso machine and it keeps clogging with even the regular ground Starbucks brand bag. I am happy to now try out this espresso grind. I hope this solves the issue. Thank you! Just love your videos.
Hi Vera. Have you already decluttered the magnets that you can no longer stick on the refrigerator door? Otherwise, maybe you can attach a self-adhesive magnetic metal strip to your wall and hang them there? I have it in my kitchen and I use it for my shopping lists and some important things to remember. My fridge is a built-in too.
I love the simplicity of this vlog, Vera! I remember having to assemble my own furniture a couple of times... it's always a trial and error process, haha! Thanks for uploading this; it was fun getting another little peak into your life behind the scenes 😊
Vera! I couldn't get more exited when I listened to you speaking spanish! 😅 Such a good pronunciation. No estoy suscrita a tu patreon debido a mi presupuesto ajustado, pero éste video me dió curiosidad de ver más acerca de ti. Gracias por compartir.
I love hearing your spanish! Thank you for sharing your daily life ♡ I needed to take it slow today and your video really helped ❤ Also I hope your eye gets better soon! Saludos desde Chile :)
Hi Vera🫂🤍 in Italy we use, for mokas, that kind of coffee (it is super unusual to grind the coffee yourself) but we don't keep it in the fridge ..some will disagree but no studies have yet determine that is better to keep it in the fridge; on the other hand it takes away a bit of flavour so be free to keep it in a cabinet, if you want😌💕 love from Italy 🇮🇹
Great Video Vera! The Vlogs are very interesting, and the funny thing is that what inspired me was the music you were listening to while you were cleaning the floor. I think I will try get myself a new playlist on my phone as well! Thanks, and be blessed!
Wat een fijne, rustige video, precies waar ik vandaag behoefte aan had. Dat tafeltje past heel goed in jullie inrichting! Ik ben benieuwd hoe het staat met de plant erop. Veel beterschap met je oog! Knuffeltjes en snuffeltjes van de konijntjes. Sera zat mee te kijken.
I'm watching now - i just thought I'd mention if it helps places where you buy coffee beans can grind them for you for the coffee machine. Love this video of sharing a day in your life. Thanks for sharing this with us ❤
Hello Vera ,really nice video thanks,I don’t even attempt to put furniture together,😊.Have a great time on your up coming visit to London,all the best to you.
Hi Vera 👋 Can you maybe make a video about the accommodations in the NL? When someone should consider buying and getting a mortgage and when to rent? How much is the proportion that someone should spend for accommodation?
Your place looks spotless even when it's chore day. 😅 With 4 cats and 2 dogs my house will never look clean no matter how many times a day I clean up 😂
I have a cordless stick vacuum and it came with a electronic cleaning station for free, so we decided to give it a go. My impressions are that it's kind of ugly haha, but since I'm allergic to dust, I actually really like it, because you can just stick in the bin from the cordless vacuum and the cleaning station gets out all the dust. So I don't have to touch it, and it doesn't come up in the air when you clean the dustbin out manually
I don’t like droppers. Especially for Vitamin C. I buy those tiny pumps that fit on the tiny bottles and toss the dropper. Less air exposure to the product 👍🏻
Lovely to see you and hope your eye is well soon. Re the Scottish jam in your yogurt - I love National Trust Sour Cherry curd in my yogurt or porridge oats. If you are ever in UK again - go to a National Trust shop and treat yourself.
Great video! I noticed you mentioned your skin care I have been on prednisone for many years and being a steroid it has caused thinning of my skin. So recently I tried to find something that might help thicken my skin. I came across camellia oil after reading many people say it’s a miracle for the skin. Anyway I just wondered if you have heard of it and if not have a look at it. 👍
Girl, every thing looks good except that Ordinary VC, don't give it big hope, better yet, don't even think of it as VC. Advice from my sister who's a dermatologist.
Thanks! I want to call him partner because it's more accurate, since we're registered partners, which is almost exactly the same as marriage here in the Netherlands. :) So partner would just be more accurate than boyfriend. I keep getting questions about why we're not married if I say 'boyfriend'. It still doesn't feel very natural though haha, so I might just go back to boyfriend haha.
Eye infection! Ugh. Sorry to hear. Why are you changing from saying boyfriend to partner? Here in the US saying partner instead of boyfriend can denote LGBTQ status.
Partner usually means (in dutch) that you’re not married to them! :) calling someone partner instead of boyfriend/girlfriend can make it more mature in a way!
@honeyteababy You're right! :) We're registered partners, which is very similar to marriage, just different in a few small ways. But it still feels weird, so will probably just continue calling him boyfriend haha. Feels more natural

Oh , I' m glad I saw this comment and read it, I was just about to ask you, are you feeling better? But sending you good wishes to feel better soon

Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed the vlog! AAAAAAND.... Is your avatar Estelle and Joshua from Trails in the Sky??? 🤩🤩🤩 One of my favorite games!!!
Yes it is, so awesome that you recognize it!😍The Trails games are so good, I'm happy to hear you played and liked them so much! 🥰Estelle is my favorite character in the entire series too actually! @@SimpleHappyZen

Thanks!! I agree, it feels like it's made for this apartment ❤❤ So glad I waited until I found the perfect one 😊
This is so cool to see you! Very glad to be able to get a sneak peak into a real life of yours! ;) hope you feel better soon!
Thank you so much, happy to hear you enjoyed the vlog! ❤🤗
I have been using that serum for years and LOVE it. I have sensitive skin too and a breakout always gives me hyper pigmentation. This helps so well.
This was absolutely one of my favorite videos of yours, Vera so thank you. It's so nice to be able to see a typical day with you and see you go through your routines. I would love more videos on your skincare and makeup routine!
Thank you so much, glad you liked the vlog!! ❤🤗 Have a wonderful day!
12:18 Fun fact: you could sew the edges of your mop back together and get many more miles out of it. 💖🌞🌵😷
Great fun this video- I've cleaned my own rooms during listening your soooo very kind video ❤🤣
Happy you enjoyed the video! :)

Thank you so much 🥰🥰
Good vlog.. I thought taking a few hours to clean was too slow but it's about the norm. Thanks😊
No worries, it takes a different amount of time for different people :) It's all good! :)
I'm glad to see you're feeling better. Thanks for sharing this - take care
Very refreshing and pleasant! Gave me some inspiration on daily routines that can get mundane. Thank you!
Loved this style of video from you! I hope you’re feeling better.
Thank you, so glad you enjoyed it! I'm feeling better, hopefully I'll be able to go back to filming in a couple of days :)

Hi Vera🫂🤍 in Italy we use, for mokas, that kind of coffee (it is super unusual to grind the coffee yourself) but we don't keep it in the fridge ..some will disagree but no studies have yet determine that is better to keep it in the fridge; on the other hand it takes away a bit of flavour so be free to keep it in a cabinet, if you want😌💕 love from Italy 🇮🇹
There are also manual grinders for any type of coffee you want, to have from espresso to mokka 😊
Great Video Vera! The Vlogs are very interesting, and the funny thing is that what inspired me was the music you were listening to while you were cleaning the floor. I think I will try get myself a new playlist on my phone as well! Thanks, and be blessed!
Thank Vera 3year since Im knowing you. Keep growing girl ❤. Much love
Nice relaxing video. It takes me an hour or so to fully wake up. I love coffee and plan to get a foamer/frother.
Love your home
Love the colors boys! Enjoy watching the work and the progress! TN, USA loves y'all! Keep up the great work!
love it 😊 perfect timing, just got home from work and enjoyed your vlog with a good cup of tea 🍵 🍂🎃🤎 I hope you get well soon ❣️
Love it! Glad you enjoyed the video :) Have a great day!
This was funny and cute. I really enjoyed this video. Literally you are all of us putting together furniture that needs assembly. 😂

I love this video. Would love to see more of these vlogs here on UA-cam. I love the table.
Love this vlog! Hope to see more vlogs from you
We buy coffee at coffee shops or grocerie store and grind them there :3 most places espresso grind them and it last in a mason jar
Finally a day in your life (can't afford to be a patreon even if I want to, so am I really thanful for this)
Hi, Vera! Do you have electric dust bin? Can you share your impressions? Thanks 😊

Get Well Soon😊
Thank you so much :)
I really enjoyed this vlog-style of video! I hope you'll do more!
It's McKays jam from Dundee Scotlland...enjoy😊
Oo! I loved this style of video they are always so interesting! Also, hope you feel better soon!
Thank you so much! :)
Thank you for sharing this. It was great and I felt like I was getting to know you!
Love this style of video. On another note, I'm sure someone has mentioned that felt is wool.
Uhmmm... I can't believe I never realized this before!! Of course it's wool... Thanks for pointing it out. I just never realized this.
I use The Ordinary and also ordered that. I was using the one that was 30% in silicone. It was nice but strong.
Really enjoyed watching this. xx
I love that you call your boyfriend "boyfriend." Confused as to what's wrong with that. Love the vlog and, yes, your new place is wonderful!
Love this❤❤❤❤❤❤
The weather warm/hot makes you glow, Vera! You really don't need a make-up to look really pretty! 🥰
Aw thank you! :)
Vera, what kind of vacuum do you own?❤
It's a samsung cordless one :) Not the fanciest one, but kind of like mid-level
Thank you. ❤
Alway Refreshing ! 🙂
I love spending time with you….❤
Hey Vera
11:56 what is modell of your vaccum-cleaner?
"You and me baby ain't nothing but mammals, so let's do it like they do on the Discovery channel." 😅 That brought back memories!
Haha I love Bloodhound Gang 😁
Muy buena pronunciacion 👍🏻❤
Love it, more vlogs please!
Lovely to see you and hope your eye is well soon. Re the Scottish jam in your yogurt - I love National Trust Sour Cherry curd in my yogurt or porridge oats. If you are ever in UK again - go to a National Trust shop and treat yourself.
Would you be willing to share a link for the little table?
I don't think they have it anymore, but it's from Zuiver, which I think is a Dutch brand :)
@@SimpleHappyZen thank you for answering, and so quickly!!
🤗🌺
Me encantan tus vídeos y hablas muy bien español. Me quedo por aquí so I could improve my English too.
You're a good example of the Dutch reputation for cleanliness. I'm only part Dutch and wish the percentage was higher...lol
That s new for me, I never knew they had that reputation
Me neither and I am Dutch..
You can let them grinded in the shop
❤❤❤

Hi Vera maybe you can mix the coffees hugs
Hola! Me encanta tus videos 😊i cómo va tu español?❤️
¡muchas gracias! Todavía estoy aprendiendo español, va despacio pero bien. :) ¡Es divertido!
I ❤ ordinary products
Hablas muy lindo el español. ❤
