✨ about my channel
I will be sharing the ups and downs of life and how to attempt to get through it in one piece. I’ll be sharing realistic life advice, minimalism tips, routines, vlogs, and anything else I think you would benefit from! Life is messy and unpredictable, and learning how to manage these hurdles is the first step to leading a happier and more intentional life. We're all trying our best out here, and I just want to share what is and isn't working for me.
Sending you all my love,
Grace

I want to hear more about the widget vision board! Please! Details!
of course!!! I think it might only work with apple, but basically, to prep make sure you have the widgetsmith app and pinterest app downloaded on your phone, and have a board created on your pinterest that you have already saved your vision board pictures to.
to create the rotating pinterest widget on your homescreen:
1. hold down your apps until they wiggle and then press the + in the top left corner
2. scroll down to pinterest and select it
3. swipe through the widget options until you see the option "edit this widget and choose a board to get started" (there's a small size option and a large size option)
4. click "add widget" to the one you want
5. after it jumps onto your homescreen, tap the widget and choose the board you have your vision board pictures saved onto! also make sure you've selected "hourly" for when it updates!
hope that helps!!! 💕
Gosh! Do I get annoyed at other UA-camrs when they rant?? Yes… do I listen intently and nod and grin and laugh and relate when Grace rants? YES! Maybe it’s because you’re relatable, honest, humble and just so genuine. Love love love your videos. So happy I found your channel ❤ keep em coming girl, here for the long haul!
omg this is so freakin sweet thank you😭💗
My new comfort UA-camr!! I’ll watch and love anything you put out ❤
I'm so honored 😭💗 thank youu
Oh my gosh - that hobbit book tracker is AMAZING!! I would definitely have to do it in order!
thank you!!! it was a labor of love for sure LOL the little map of middle earth on the globe was just the tiniest little (completely unnecessary) detail that really put it over the top for me haha
Never stop being so real and authentic, Grace. We love it, it's part of you and you are amazing 💜
You’re always worrying about your light but i really like the aesthetic, books and plants and moody lighting, it’s my jam, okay
Stop trying to fix it
The end rant was great. The leggings dont matter! Take back our finances! The last week or so I've felt tired of my clothing options to pair with jeans but have been trying to adjust my mindset that a smallish number of good options is plenty (I'll have more/other options when the weather changes a bit). This rant was a good reminder that, whether what I i have is plenty or I want more, my needs are totally met so it doesn't matter anyway! I dont need to waste my money and and headspace on it, it won't change anything in my life.
so true!!! i've honestly been struggling with my wardrobe the past few weeks, and I know that it's just a matter of vanity and not lack of functionality😭 it can be a tough pill to swallow for sure
Yes! I do crave novelty as I've been stressed and wore the same things up and down... But honestly, I have enough, especially if I could take some time and go through my "to mend" pile... And those are tried and trusted pieces, where I don't need to worry about the fit. Or I could push to reach my smaller size again and have a "new" wardrobe (I fluctuate between sizes, normal for me, so not a hardcore diet, just stopping stress eating really).
Love the community you’re building ❤
me too 💗 I feel very lucky
For the book tracking, I think you should fill in the books at random but number them 1-10 or whatever number of books you get through and use another page to write the names of the books and the number that corresponds to it on the bullet journal shelf so if you want to know which book got 5 stars, you can reference that page.
luckily I have my storygraph that keeps track of each book's rating!! I wanted a place to track my physical books read though, bc my storygraph has my physical books and audiobooks.
@@gracenevitt I downloaded StoryGraph this year when you talked about it in another video! I’ve used goodreads for years but I’m up for trying something new. I’d be interested in hearing how you use StoryGraph in a video sometime, since I just started using it and don’t fully understand what I could be doing with it :)
I'm here for the dramatic sighs xD
lmaooo good bc I don't think they're going anywhere anytime soon LOL
I love your no buy year spread for 2024 😍
thanks!!! I feel like it's simple but effective haha
You're my favorite real youtuber❤❤❤
thank you💗😭
This looks so cute :)
Omg! I loved ACOTAR! Book 2 is on the way to me!!!!
strap in!!! it's a wild ride haha
Your rants and little off topic discussions are so relatable because I also have ADHD.
And the dramatic sounds? *sighs and ahhhh after taking a drink and just doing a long large exhale* can be an ✨ADHD thing✨
the first thing is 100% an ADHD thing. second thing I think might just be an exhausted human thing😂
find notebook videos so soothing that i'm watching this before bed haha happy two years! your videos are doing me a lot of good!! i'm such an impulse spender and gatherer of things they really do help me balance those behaviors out 🍀✨hope you catch your rest! maybe you subconsciously hold your breath a little i think physiologically a sigh is like a prolongued outbreath so i'd theorize you're breathing in more than you're breathing out if you're sighing a lot (to counterbalance)? feel like that's a bit of an odd thing to comment on but it seemed like you were curious about it in taking note of it! breathing exercises do me wonders if i'm stressed or feel innerly rushed
thank you for this very sweet and thoughtful comment!! I definitely feel like I've recently been "holding my breath" more in a sense. l'll try to work some meditation/yoga into my schedule💗 thanks again, and I'm really glad the videos are helpful to you!!
"And my lights....I don't have lights" girl you had me cracking up!
lmaooooo thank you I try.... 😂
@@gracenevitt I enjoy your humor 🤌
I love the hobbit page! I made it a resolution to read all the books this year and my exam finished today so i'm ready to read for fun again! ❤
I've been having SO much fun reading so far this year!! (I'm even making a reading vlog about the first few books I'm reading this year!! hehe)
A 38 min video?! Thank you!!!❤
yayyy you're so welcome!!! hehe
It was very helpful to me. I've been looking for bullet journal ideas that would work for me. I like your system. I will subscribe and keep watching.
Great job🎉
putting it all in one place has been a game-changer!! my other video lays it out a lot better if you wanted more detail on it though!
omg I love your first journaling video because it inspired me to keep a bullet journal in 2024!! yours turned out so pretty I lovee. also ACoTaR is on my TBR list this year but this might have inspired me to read it sooner...
you'll definitely want to read it after seeing the reading vlog LOL I'm only a little over halfway through the second book and I'm *screaming*
@@gracenevitt omg ok I never watch reading vlogs so I don't know - would you recommend I read the book before the reading vlog to avoid spoilers? or after the reading vlog?
mine will be a spoiler free reading vlog!! I'll just be showing reactions and general thoughts but no specific details whatsoever! 💗 so it's safe to watch before, during, or after reading
@@gracenevitt I just finished reading ACoTaR omg and I need this reading vlog!! I saw your thoughts on the books on ig but still. I need this reading vlog
@diaryandgirl the reading vlog is a JOURNEY hahah I go through a full roller coaster of emotions lmao still have the last 2 books to read but I'm taking a small break from the series! I'll have the reading vlog up in the next month or so! 💗
definitely stealing your spread for the no buy day in pixels for my own personal journal lolol
I’ve put a new water bottle on my green list for my low buy year. I have so many requirements for it though I may never end up buying one! I too had mould issues - I even rinse and wash regularly.
ugh I know!! it's so tough :((
3 weeks doing that? I never felt more understood ❤, it takes forever for me to do something crafty or just organizing.
yeah I was super busy and overwhelmed and it took me so much time to just sit down and get to crafting in the journal lol
It also took me a long time of pondering and repeatedly coming back to my goals pages to figure out what I actually want to do with my time this year, so a slow process of getting goals down on paper seems helpful to me and in line with the speed of my thought explorations
I used your google sheet and I just keep adding tabs to it. I even learned how to make a pivot table so I can keep up with my budget percentages!
that's great!!!
Have you tried some vinegar in your hydro flask? Vinegar is usually pretty good at combatting mold.
I haven't!! I'll try that!
If the books are just colored in for fun, then I think coloring them randomly is fine. If you're using them as an infographic, I think it makes sense to color them in order or label them to correlate with a list somewhere else. Otherwise all you are getting from the image is an overall sense of how many books you read and the ratio of of many of them appealed to you or not. (That isn't necessarily a bad thing and either choice is fine.) Just wanted to add, I found your channel randomly when YT suggested your low buy video. It has been perfect timing as that has been a goal of mine as well. I'm excited to see your journey.
the point is kind of just to see the ratio of how I rate books so perhaps I will do them randomly haha thank you!!
I don't know if it's just me, but there is no audio. Does anyone else have the same issue? Excited to see the video in full!
Edit: works now!
I’m getting audio
omg I'm glad you sorted it out because my stomach just dropped LOL
@@gracenevitt omg, I'm so sorry! Great video btw!
no need to apologize!! I just hate it when the videos aren't working for y'all! thanks for watching :)) glad you enjoyed
Love your glasses! Where are they from?
I got them from lens crafters! they're vogue brand apparently??
You should use a digital planner so you don’t have to keep buying planners, pens, highlighters, etc. plus their more fun and versatile
idk what it is, but when it's digital, it's much harder for me to interact with... the only exception I've noticed has been my kindle, but otherwise, the feeling of pen and paper is the tactile part of it that's really soothing and therapeutic to me. and I feel that just having one singular journal (a gifted one at that), and a single pencil case of pens (that I'll buy once and use until they're all dead), is fine with me. :)
Glad to see its not just me that makes dramatic noises when getting off the couch 😅
lmao you are so not alone hahah
New to your channel but you are the only other person I've seen that has been reading the court of thorns and roses... I've read a few? I got burnt out by the third book I think.
I've heard the third book is where people start to give up bc it's really slow 😅 I'm starting it today
Your videos feel like hanging out with a friend 😊 You should do a YT live sometime, time permitting.
omg that would be super fun!! I'll see what I can do to plan that out heheh
You're so refreshing, using what you have and not like other UA-camrs that try to use 5 different planners they spent a fortune on... what's THAT about??
that's consumerism + aesthetics for ya LOL I used to buy a journal or two per year but I have 2 laying around right now and didn't need to buy another one!
Feels so good to (dramatically) sigh sometimes. 🫁
clearly.... because I do it all the dang time hahaha
I Also think I have book lovers lmao maybe I'll pick that up if you are too. I have so many books I just don't read.
I'll be reading it in march!!
Actually it's people you meet on vacation but it's the same author.
I read Happy Place by her and I loved it!!!
