If you are Anne fans, and haven't read the Emily of New Moon books, or, my fave, The Blue Castle, oh are you in for such a treat! I also firmly believe that Montgomery is the only author who should be allowed to describe sunsets, because no one else can compare.
Can I come and live with you? Because the guy two houses down the road from me was arrested for making Chrystal Meth in his basement, and I think that whole meth-lab-on-my-street situation is really going get in the way of living the cottagecore lifestyle.
True. One way I embrace these when I cannot afford to live them is thru my pinterest. I create a board and collect photos, websites, articles, book covers. It is fun and helps with stress so much.
@@citigirlmichebudgets3357 True. One thing that helps me is romantizing even the smallest details of my everyday life. Gardening with my mom is also a part of my cottagecore aesthetic and it’s healthy for us and the environment. I would definitely suggest trying these out
@@citigirlmichebudgets3357 I do this too! But as much as I love it, it also makes me feel this intense sense of pain over what cannot be. It feels like starving for years with a pie across you that you cannot reach, that never goes bad. It just sits there in all it's pie-like-glory and I can never take a bite of it.
I am 45 years old, and I've been living this way for many years. I've just always thought of myself as an earthy, old soul, cat loving, bookworm. I didn't know there was a word to describe this kind of beautiful way of living until watching your video.
Same here…I’ve grown up in the country and just recently have I truly learned to appreciate it and realize that it’s where I find peace, surrounded by nature and simplicity. Just now I’ve learned the word and style to put to the kind of life I enjoy living, and I’m glad I have because it’s opened up so much for me
I know this just life in the country. Especially when you’re younger and have no car or WiFi. I grew up no WiFi or phone half time no car. So you have fine fun things to do. And second hand all we could afford. But guess cool now lol.
A week ago I finished Anne of Green Gables book and I loved it soo much. I think in our life we should be patient, lovely ,friendly and also we should be the biggest nature lover just like Anne Shirley and Ruby :)
For any fans of Beatrix Potter, the biography by Linda Lear is fascinating! Beatrix Potter was an amazing storyteller and artist, of course, but she was also a scientist, a land conservator, and a farmer, amongst many other things. (Her botanical art is STELLAR also!) That book was one of my favorites I read last year.
Congrats on 600k! Thank you for making everyones lifes easier, you really changed me in 2 months! I started studying, waking up at 5:38 with the sunrises, and most importantly I finally have motivation!
I am a "homesteader" type here in America, and wanted you to know I really appreciated this video. Homesteading is about stopping and smelling the roses, to borrow a cliché. This video has reminded me to be a rose. Thank you!
Is there a reason why you have not talked about the cottage you bought for such a long time? I am sorry if this is personal but you talked about it here quite openly back then but have not mentioned it since? lots of love and great video as always:)
Oh yesss I often wonder about it ! But I think unfortunately she received a lot of criticism about the video so she deleted it. I really don't know why, I'd really like to hear about it !
@@joysfulljourney That the video (considering the time and apperance) seems more like an in-your-face regarding wealth, social status and living conditions. I bet a lot of people would love to grow their own food andspend times writing poems/journaling in nature, but sadly most students try to gather the money with minimum wage jobs to be able to pay school fees and the rent of their single-room apartment with 20+ neighbours. I'm sure it wasn't Rubys intention to show off, but even to me (who at least is financially stable) the video gave me that vibes. Don't want to know how all the people felt who struggle during this pandemic.
@@joysfulljourney there are a few threads on the internet discussing it (and still now), some people are not tender. I'd rather not link it here, but you can very easily find it ! It's so easy to anonymously hate these days 😔
This is so mesmerising to watch, well maybe that’s just me. It’s deserves more views, this video really shows cottagcore aesthetic and the nature shots are stunning. Thank you for making this beautiful video ruby!!
I don't understand the value of aesthetics, exactly. I guess for someone like me who is not quite well-off financially, having to buy a new wardrobe and invest in a lot of objects/trinkets to achieve an aesthetic seems like too much. And especially if you don't have the free time to build your life around an aesthetic, it also seems like something that's out of reach for most. Is it like dress-up or pretend? And does it actually represent your interests and personality, or do people just switch aesthetics to fit whatever is trending online?
I agree so much with this. It seems a very elitist aesthetic. None of this would be possible without the pretty cottage in rural England, the clothes, accessories, the privilege of having a large garden. Not to sound bitter, but it's definitely aimed at a specific demographic!
@@TAYLORALEX2008 Yeah, I guess this is what I'm getting at. I'm a bit put off by the idea of being able to curate and essentially buy a personality. These trends are growing a lot more with platforms like TikTok and Instagram spreading the idea that your "value" or marketability as a person lies in how well you're able to replicate an aesthetic. And usually, it's those who can afford to go all out with aesthetics who get more followers and are thus able to capitalize off their image to make more money. And most times, it's just an act. Idk, I just feel like a lot of "aesthetics" feed in a lot to capitalist modes of being. Even something like cottage core, which seems to challenge modernity, falls into that consumerist trap and comes off as fake.
I agree with you, I feel like trying to fit an aesthetic is like trying to hard to be someone you might not be.. just be yourself and do what you want to do and what you can do. I'm not saying that Ruby is like this but it reminds me of the people who'd wear band tshirts without having listening to the band, just because they're trendy and not because they actually like them
It’s weird if people are not genuinely interested in aesthetics they are portraying, I don’t think most people would do that but there’s probably some weirdos out there only doing it for money. I think of aesthetics as just a way to express yourself/what you like. Your personality can be very different from your aesthetic because aesthetics are represented through external things and decor basically. Not necessarily your nature. Also a ton of money doesn’t have to be spent if you craft your own decor and art or second hand shop, try and incorporate what you like into those things. Everyone has their own aesthetic and it can be anything they want, make it “your” aesthetic. Lol i’m so invested in this I just wrote a novel.
Maybe just follow your chosen aesthetic in the books you read or the music you listen to instead of trying to model your life around it? To me that seems like a more realistic approach 🤔
BEAUTIFUL truly BEAUTIFUL🌹. Its been quite a while since i came across your channel and literally not a single day has gone by without watching your videos. I'm trying to keep up with the earlier ones too that i'd missed out. You are so kind and full of positivity, Watching your videos always brings joy to my heart. Lots of love❤️❤️❤️.
Me living in a condominium in Singapore wanting to move somewhere else and have freedom living in a cottage , having a field nearby and just enjoy nature.
I forget to comment but you bring me so much joy Ruby. I love your content and it's been amazing seeing you develop as a story teller over the years! 💜
Hi Ruby, I really enjoy your videos and like that you are commited to sustainability. But I am a bit disappointed about your Treedom sponsorship for a few reasons: First, they help big global companies like McDonalds, Samsung or Ford with greenwashing. For example, McDonalds planted trees with Treedom that supposedly bound 8.801.025 kg of CO2, yet in 2017 alone, McDonalds emitted over a hundred times that amount of CO2 equivalents. So the trees planted by treedom for McDonalds had no real impact on their emissions, but it was a good opportunity for marketing themselves to environmentally concious consumers. Same for Ford: Ford trucks Italy is featured on the treedom website because they planted 400 trees. That is absolutely nothing for a company that size and really, if a truck manufacturer wants to be more sustainable, then let the design of their trucks be the measure of that. Planting these trees for these companies lets them seem green to the casual consumer and helps the companies to evade more relevant criticisms of their practices. Second, I think they overcharge quite a bit, a seedling only costs them a few cents and they sell the tree for a much higher amount. And third, planting trees is often inferior to letting a forest develop somewhere naturally, because that naturally developed forest will be more resilient to environmental changes (including climate change), longer lasting and have more ecodiversity. This is also a lot cheaper! And the absolute best strategy is of course to preserve already existing forests, so that might be a better suggestion for people looking to donate money and help the environment. I think it's really cool that you are invested in sustainability and I'm sure that a sponsorship from Treedom seemed like it might make a positive impact, but I would like you to at least be aware of the problematic aspects :)
I love all of your book recommendations! I would add the works of Jean-Jacques Rousseau (a true OG naturalist and a favorite of Marie Antoinette who is probably the queen of “aesthetics”. She definitely tried her hand at cottagecore through her work at the petit trianon). Also, even though it’s not strictly a cottagecore book I would recommend “A Tree Grows in Brooklyn”. It is my favorite book of all time. I read it twice a year. And Francie lived cottagecore in her mind. ❤️
RUBY!! congrats on 600K subscribers! You are an incredible human and motivate so many people on a daily basis! Thank you so much for guiding us through these tough times with your amazing videos, keep on doing what you’re doing and congratulations again on 600K xx 🤍🤍
From my childhood: the Brambly Hedge books by Jill Barklem, Holly Hobbie dolls, The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame. Hadn’t heard of the aesthetic until today, but have been living it most of my life.
The filming and the videography and just everything about this is fantastic. Every video you makes is better than the last and I feel like this style is perfect, thank you ❤️❤️
One thing I found was that if you can’t find clothes at a thrift store because of location/size/style available etc is to just not buy a lot of clothes but to keep them for years. I have clothes for 7/8 years that are fine and I still wear so I don’t have to buy many new clothes which is a good alternative (and I found a fashion carbon footprint calculator doing this has my fashion carbon footprint 70% lower than average ) also taking/giving clothes that don’t fit your family members helps too
I am 59. We started this in the 60's and 70' as a movement, but English Country as been around even longer. I have been doing this forever, but it makes me happy to see it take off with the younger folk. And others.
I have that Beatrix potter story collection book, my great grandparents bought it for me for my first Christmas and it’s the most precious thing I have! 🌼💛
It never ceases to amaze me how people can add so many complications to their lives and call it "simple". Gardening for subsistence in the simplest way you can say it, eg. just plant and trust Nature to do the rest, is guaranteed to bring inferior results. I have lived in the countryside with my parents for short periods, and it's so complicated, and so much work, it looks like they couldn't do it if they weren't both retired. Plus they have to drive for what feels like hours to access any services. See also: TV series Beachcomber Cottage. Not wanting to destroy anyone who wants to live in a Thomas Kincaid painting, but stop calling things simple when they aren't.
I am 14 and my dream is to live like this some day in the English countryside. I'm tired of living in this very fast and processed world. I've already started adding bits of this asthetic in my everyday life and love it
i love the book love, aubrey but i've never known anyone else who knows of it and when you started the book recommendations i was thinking the book always makes me think of summer and i genuinely might have teared up a bit when you mentioned it :')
Wow! Ruby, this has got to be the best video that fully captures the cottagecore aesthetic. Your video and your kind spirit have enlightened my day! :)
aaahhhh yaaaaayyy! i always get such a happy feeling when i see a new ruby granger video, but recently i've also been very interested in cottagecore, so this could not have come at a better time! thank you ruby ❤
So many of my favorite tv shows and movies were included on your list, so I will be sure to check out some of your book, movie, tv and music recommendations to hopefully find some new favorites.
I grew up in the countryside and had this kind of lifestyle, but then I moved to the city. I'm hoping to move back to the countryside next year, so hopefully, I can grow my own vegetables, fruits, flowers, and make my own clothes after I move back.
I am a hopeful preteen who loves this lifestyle. I have recently found land that I would want my family to move to. We would have a cottage and horses and flowers and- too much nature everywhere! You, are living my dream life.
You can buy second hand but you can also learn to sew! Then you can make anything you like, and it’ll fit you perfectly. For minimal environmental impact, you can even thrift your fabric
@laura it's kind of like trends? It's ok in moderation. It can fetishize and glamourise living of some people, most aesthetic that are fashionable are really eurocentric, it drives consumption even when in theory it promotes vintage and sustainability and even more problems... I think the things that bother us the most is that Ruby presents it not as clearly aesthetic but sot of a lifestyle and as I said earlier it's really fetishistic. I like her but sometimes the way she presents things is shallow and vain and it's lacking nuances
I live in a subdivision and I am very young. I really want to live this way. So I am learning before I move out. So I know exactly what to do and exactly where to move to :)
its gonna be hard for me to be cottagecore because im 13, and my parents know me as lazy and they think i hate going outside, but that was before i discovered this wonderful aesthetic :p
For the book and tv suggestions, Amphibia might be considered a nice cottagecore cartoon, and I think that the book serie Fairy Oak, by Elisabetta Gnone, is really good!
I said It once and I’ll say it again,
Anne of Green Gable and Ruby would literally be best friends
agreed
So true
That is so true-
If you are Anne fans, and haven't read the Emily of New Moon books, or, my fave, The Blue Castle, oh are you in for such a treat! I also firmly believe that Montgomery is the only author who should be allowed to describe sunsets, because no one else can compare.

Don't forget, aesthetic isn't about the space, it's about the things you do ! I suggest you take a long walk in the middle of nowhere

I grew up in the countryside and had this kind of lifestyle, but then I moved to the city. I'm hoping to move back to the countryside next year, so hopefully, I can grow my own vegetables, fruits, flowers, and make my own clothes after I move back.
Omg I love brandi carlile!!! She’s such a treasure. I’m currently reading her book/ memoir and would 10/10 recommend!!
"Cottage core is a slow way of living"
Me: ah so the reason I'm suddenly craving cottage core life is that I'm just very stressed rn
I love your hats those are great!
Omg ruby you don't even know but i love you and your UA-cam,,,, because of you I have started reading so much more . Thank youuuuu for that,🤍
I am a hopeful preteen who loves this lifestyle. I have recently found land that I would want my family to move to. We would have a cottage and horses and flowers and- too much nature everywhere! You, are living my dream life.
You can buy second hand but you can also learn to sew! Then you can make anything you like, and it’ll fit you perfectly. For minimal environmental impact, you can even thrift your fabric
love this aesthetic for the spring/summer!!!!
Also little women 1994!!! And the soundtrack to the movie!
My little brother has a birthday on earth day! Lovely video, thanks Ruby for make my day better!
Ah, such an amazing video! Thank you dear Ruby! I wish you a beautiful evening!
Ruby you are such an amazing person!😊...your beauty blooms and inspires all of us!😊🌹💐🌸
It would be good for you to also touch on the problematic aspects of Cottagecore.
As well as dark academia
@laura oh, plenty.
@laura it's kind of like trends? It's ok in moderation. It can fetishize and glamourise living of some people, most aesthetic that are fashionable are really eurocentric, it drives consumption even when in theory it promotes vintage and sustainability and even more problems... I think the things that bother us the most is that Ruby presents it not as clearly aesthetic but sot of a lifestyle and as I said earlier it's really fetishistic. I like her but sometimes the way she presents things is shallow and vain and it's lacking nuances
Love the book recs! Wish i have watched this before i went on my major library haul
I would love to see a week in my life video just to see what your life is looking like with corona.
Cottagecore queen! loved the video. so wholesome 💛💛
THIS IS SUCH AN AESTHETIC THING ‼️😍🌷 you are very creative and unique 🤯 MAKE THEM PROUD AND U CAN DO IT ‼️🍒🤍🌈
The location where you live is just so beautiful ❤️
I live in a subdivision and I am very young. I really want to live this way. So I am learning before I move out. So I know exactly what to do and exactly where to move to :)
I highly recommend you Sufjan Steven’s music for cottagecore environment 🤍👒
Ruby this is my favorite video of yours. Thank you for this. I loved it and it gave me really positive vibes❤
This is so close to life that I love it. Thank you for such a wonderful video.
Even when it’s damp. You’re a goddess. I love that lifestyle.
Should I visit Exeter when they open the borders? Some go-to places?
I don't have a cottage. But I think my room is one!. I ♥️ this video please do more! Ruby!
You are my inspiration and motivation 💓💓💓☺️☺️ you made my Day everytime you post❤️❤️
its gonna be hard for me to be cottagecore because im 13, and my parents know me as lazy and they think i hate going outside, but that was before i discovered this wonderful aesthetic :p
The most wholesome channel I've ever come across❤
Treedom yeesss! Every word in this clip hits home, it's a dearing and good life style♡
For the book and tv suggestions, Amphibia might be considered a nice cottagecore cartoon, and I think that the book serie Fairy Oak, by Elisabetta Gnone, is really good!
these videos make my day, they're so well put together too :)
ooh dear that horse is divine
