thank you for this video! I've been a long time viewer of yours, and I just love the peacefulness and aesthetic of your videos. I often go back and re-listen to the old ones, because it feels like interacting with a friend, in a way.
It was about April 10, 2020 I went into hospital feeling very ill. Was in for 5 days. Thought I was in BIG trouble. The date of your Vlog #8 brought back so many memories for me. You looked a bit sad in #8. Hope you are in a much better place now. Your pen and ink reviews. journaling comments, and in general the atmosphere of each segment you present makes me very happy to see you. As a teacher you can rip my sentence structure apart. Just trying to get the idea to you about how happy you make us feel doing your videos. I got a Parker Duofold Junior for my 11th birthday in 1956. A Parker fountain pen was the only thing I wanted. I still have the pen. It works perfectly. I use it constantly. My dad went to the shop with me. It still plays in my head as a happy time.
Watching and listening from Thailand, and you’ve put a little cheer into my day. So, yeah, people do watch your vlogs, and you’re doing more good than you know. Thank you. 🙂🙏🏽
A BENEFIT YOU HAVE IN MAKING THIS VLOG IS GENUINELY BECAUSE YOURE SOOO SWEET! PEOPLE GRAVITATE TOWARDS THAT. ESPECIALLY IN THIS SEASON. BELIEVIE IT OR NOT SOME CAN CONCUR THAT WE CARE ABOUT YOU. THERE MAY BE SOME THAT KIND OF CRUTCH ON YOU BECAUSE WHERE THEY ARE THEY DONT HAVE THE LUXURY OF BEING AROUND PLEASANT PEOPLE (LIKE YOURSELF). TMI but I dont care: when I get the blues or get " bloody my hands from punching the concrete wall" angry i know I can go to your journal video where your intro is of you slowly rising from the journals. that's so calming to me.... It never fails to see you do that for me. Some ask why are you so smiley for???...... I have my reason. ;)
Enjoyed. I agree with you. We can%’the change what is going on in world, but we can control how we act and react to it. I am making the best of it as much as possible. Stay safe.
YASSS GIRL... SEE?... You did it.. That's vlogging. You just "share", "hangout", talk to me, show me...and I/we listen, live vicariously through your experiences, your daily life, your edited clips and chosen music. You did great. I LOVED it! It was calming and you took my mind off of the negative. ♥️♥️♥️
I think you hit just the right tone for this. It was like we were each sitting in our houses chatting through the open windows. This whole whack-a-doodle situation we’re in is allowing (forcing?) us to appreciate the simple pleasure of another person’s company. No frills, no distractions, just one-on-one human interaction that we’ve somehow lost along the way. Hope we can do it again :).
I'm agreeing with everyone else in the comments that this was great, and definitely something we want to watch/listen to. I think a large part of vlogs is getting to see bits of people/their lives, seeing how they are different to us, seeing what they do that we love - and that's something we're all missing out on at the moment. For me, I love your energy, I love your determination to find beauty in the hard things, I love that you remind me to journal when I want to avoid everything going on in my head, I love the little bean (I've moved out recently and I'm living without pets for the first time and it's awful), I love the fountain pen content (my boyfriend bought me a pelikan m250 and it's genuinely the love of my life - for the first time, having a pen that feels like an extension of myself). Anyway, thank you for creating content, and I hope that doing it brings you a sense of joy and connection. Have a lovely day!
This was a really comforting video. It’s nice to just sit down and listen to someone when social interaction has been so limited recently. I hope you’re well and I’d love to see more of these Videos of your thoughts and just rambly chats
You helped,it helped. I am in love with the inks you showed the other day. I found a store in Texas that has them half off. I had a good day. I posted pics of flowers, lowquats (fruit) and my porch cat and her kittens. It was a good day.
Hahaha. Yep vlogblog. Most vlogs people put out there are just disorganized blogs done in a different space. This was nice because Im still in pandemic mode being safe so don’t even go grocery shopping too often or out for tea breaks, but started watching far more utube so catching up on subscriptions I like so really nice to get this Vlog to see you! I like your vids & it’s nice to see you: how you & others are doing during all this! I sometimes wonder what everyone’s up to on a more personal level because - let’s face it - we hear/see quite enough about how “the country” is doing (I think you know what I mean ... ). Gotta go back to my art stuff ....
Hi Alicia! I love how natural you are in each video, I especially love your Vlogs, this being your first you did a great job!... and you remind me of me when I was young. The colours you love, around your house you are moving into, the scarf/bandana tied around your neck, the fact that you journal so much. I was the same and now have ordered my first leuchtturm to start journalling again. But things are SO HARD! Fountain pen, any lined paper and ink, was all I used as a young teen into adulthood, but now there's too much to choose from. Watching your videos, is a calming experience for me. Thank you for doing Vlogs, I like yours alot! I need a Chic Sparrow A5 folio or Travelers notebook with all the bells and whistles. What buy & sell group did you find yours?? Also aside from your teaching for your schoolchildren, do you have any other UA-cam channels?? I hope to hear from you soon!
You are such a wonderful, interesting young lady. I am 70 Yrs. Of age and it is so refreshing to know young women like you exist. I love your interests and your posts about them. I was like you once - but lost my way. During this part of my life I have been fortunate enough to fulfill many of them. I journal, love pens, being with nature, animals, art, play piano. I love seeing you and having the opportunity to know you. You have touched my life immensely - now, this is the purpose of a vlog.
I'm a teacher as well up in NYS. I actually rewrote most of the first Percy Jackson novel for my English language learners and narrated it on my other channel. I was honestly wondering how I would get through to the end of the year right when quarantine happened. It was a needed reprieve until I started missing the kids.
It was nice to see someone "polishing shoes." I haven't seen that in ages & it use to be a regular in my life. My dad use to have a shoebox with polishes & folded rags that we would use for our shoes. Those were the good old days 😊 Times have been pretty weird lately...Be well.
Thanks for the great video. It's so lovely to see you face to face. You actually inspired me to pick up my journal and journal more again. (To tell you the truth I neglected my journal a little during the last few weeks, just because I didn't want to face my emotions with all the things going on in the world, I guess.) So great, that you like your Folio. I love Folios very much. What kind of colour is the castle rock? It looked kind of brownish in the video. But I think, it's probably something like dark grey, isn't it? Enjoying your time is a great way. Please do so. And stay safe. Take care and lots of love from Germany.
OMG, I just went to my cupboard and discovered that I own a CS Folio in Castle Rock, too. I got it in a Mystery Sale. So you just inspired me to use it, too. Will think of you when I journal. :-)
Loved this. Thanks. I don’t get down everyday, but for bits of time here and there. When I realizing I’m crying about everything I hear I have to remember this too shall pass. I’m retired, from education, and volunteer two days a week at a local school. I think I miss the students most of all.
Love these. It's like talking to a close friend. I'm an introvert and have social anxiety really badly so it's nice to have interaction with a person like you. You are so calm and interesting. A lot of people our age are very geared towards marriage and kids. I don't have that lifestyle so it's very hard to find people to interact with.
Hiking . . . how I miss that! It's good to hear your enjoyment of it. Your positive energy is contagious. I come from a family of teachers. Some retired, most active ... well, inactive at the moment. I just lost my mom, a retired teacher and have spent the past week sorting through her possessions. You can tell she was proud to have been a teacher. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts.
I think you are the coolest person. I love your style and could listen to you talk for hours . Is that creepy? lol I love your haircut!! I’m glad to see the vlogs are back. Thank you for helping me to take my mind of things for a bit 🙂
Tghis is UA-cam socializing at its best. You show you're a living, thinking, feeling person. You come across as that person, rather than as pixels on the monitor. In some ways, you remind me of Waskisquirrel, even though he's a teacher in his forties, and live sin North Dakota. You may watch his channel, but if not, he also collects vintage pens, and now and then has a good, entertaining ramble that shows he's human. Before I became a writer, I had a couple of jobs where studying people, learning how to know what they wanted, where they were going, often before they did. As a writer, learning as much as possible about all sorts of people was a necessity. I loved going being the scene at a carnival and getting to know those who made that life a home. I loved going into a roughneck bar, or a political rally of people I would never vote for. Anything I had never done, any place I'd never been, be it an art class or a meeting of the Lady's Auxiliary at the library, I wanted to go. It's meting people, striking up a conversation, and then just listen. Everyone wants to talk, but too few want to listen. I want to listen. My grandpa used to say, "You don't learn with your mouth, you learn with your ears. So close your mouth, open your ears, and people will tell you everything they know." On UA-cam I can't really strike up much of a conversation, but I love rambles because learning about people is what it's all about, not only as a writer, but just as another person. We really are all in this together, but this should be true even without Covid-19 pushing us in that direction. If we all lived as if we really are all in this together, the world would be a much better place. But just on the pragmatic side, all good fiction, and much nonfiction, is about people, about the human condition.. Even werewolf stories, vampire stories, aliens from space stories, etc., are about people, about the human condition. The werewolves, vampires, aliens from space, etc., are all just stand-ins that help to illustrate the human condition. In short, character IS story, and to get character right, you have to know people well enough to wear their skin for however long it takes to write the story.
Hi. I just wanted to say, your channel has helped kept me sane during this uncertainty. Your channel popped up on my recommendations a couple of weeks ago and I’ve been flip flopping through your videos ever since. I have no idea why you got recommended but I am so glad it did. You have such a relaxing genuine vibe that I really appreciate. Thank you for making these videos.
Thanks for vlogging for us! I am so grateful for folks who are doing this! I know it's outside your comfort zone but it's making an impact. Love the folio! Cheers!
So appreciate your chats, it is something wonderful to look forward to, good to see how someone else is dealing and processing the current experience. Be well 😊
Love your honesty I look forward to your videos like visiting a young friend with a fresh outlook on things ..Huggs to you from across the water as I sip a herbal tea and reflect on things around me 😎🇦🇺👍🌍💫
Love your vlogs 😍 Its an assorted box of chocolates, its all sweetly rich and warm but comes in a variety of interesting flavors 😃 I found your vlogs coz I was interested in furthering my knowledge in inks and fountain pens, but I stayed coz your vlogs are so varied and so genuine. Filled with light, laughter, music, animals, sunshine and humanity. In these dark uncertain times where we huddle inside our homes hiding from an implacable, invisible legion, your vlogs are a bright window. So thanks for that 🥰
Jennie Eveleigh Lamond thank you! The hair cut simply involved me cutting off my two ponytails. I didn’t even go back and do any styling, because I simply don’t know how, haha!
You look great with the new hair style. Love your positive thoughts and attitude about life during these hectic pandemic days. Thanks for sharing your beautiful thoughts and attitude. Take care of yourself. Be safe and well
Sara Tonin hi Sara, it’s special to have you here. Feels normal in someway, and apparently normal is now becoming not normal, haha. How are you keeping your time?
Thank you for the video. You seem to have so much inner peace- something that I always look for. I finished Kidnapped. I think having better knowledge of Scottish history would have helped. I enjoyed it though. Take care and stay healthy. 📚.
Love the vlog! I've had a lot of human connection moments just passing people on the street (it's quite rural here, lots of room to move off to the side and not that many people outside), when you both move aside to let the other one pass at the appropriate distance - a nod, a smile, a thank you Which ukulele piece is that, at the beginning? I love it, makes me want to pick up mine again!
Hi there. As someone who lives alone and has not had human contact with another person in almost 15 days, thank you for your vlog. It provided a sense of reassurance, a respite, in this difficult time. Thanks 😊
AV Lopez hello! I’m glad to give you so company in this strange isolated time. I hope you’re finding ways to stay sane and managing to connect with other people in whatever capacity.
I listened to it. You did great. To make it less weird for you....maybe check-in throughout one of your days, show off some hobbies or things you enjoy doing. I do enjoy rambles though.
I naturally have no friends or any family so the lockdown is like normal life for me, the one thing I do miss is being able to go journal or study in a cafe, cafe sounds tricks my brain into thinking I have friends or know people. Now it's staying at home watching youtube videos and writing. Now I am starting to feel alone.
These are difficult, trying times and sharing your experiences can serve to motivate others so thank you for sharing. I was toying with the idea of starting a journal but when I put pen to paper I want to start every paragraph with "I" and then my mind goes blank lol.
Rhe school videos, that must be why you wanted to do a videolog, btw this is prety great of all of you to be doing this for the kids.......and I'm still in the hermit stage myself 😋
You wondered why anyone would be interested in watching your vlog. I guess because when we stop being interested in other people we also lose interest in life. I enjoy all of your videos, whether they be pen-related or vlogs. That's why many of us subscribe to your channel.
Love your vlogs! Especially during isolation. Could you tell me, what would be a good size ukelele for an adult? 21-inch or 23-inch? And are some "soprano" and some not? I'm seriously thinking of getting one. Thank you!!
Patty Figurski my favorite size is the concert and baritone. Concert because it’s still small and easy to carry around, but I feel it’s more capable that a soprano and has a greater depth of sound. Baritone I like simply because of the tuning, it’s like a little guitar and can be played as such. Really, the size is more personal than physical. They all have their pros and cons. Tenors have an even richer sound than their smaller siblings, but you loose some of the carry-ability. And when I say carry-ability, I mean, pack up and take anywhere ease. In reality, they’re all pretty small and easy to take around! I think sopranos are fun, but can be a little limiting. Concert hands down is my preferred size when considering the standard ukuleles.
It’s actually relaxing to listen to you and not about the c word cause everywhere I go (on the internet) it’s all about the c word and how many people died from it. I’m just tired of c. C please see your way out! Haha! And you are the truest, realist person meaning you don’t live up to society’s standard but up to your own. I am so sick of every girl doing make up and acting all fake. Stop the fake acting and fake happiness girls! You should do a hiking vlog...do some talking and then show the scenery with music like your other vlogs or videos.
Atash Hamasa hello and thank you. Yeah, I too am tired of it... but then I find myself wanting to talk about it or trying to escape it rather! I saw your comment and suggestion about the hiking video. I tried to do something like that. To be honest, I was a little frustrated, getting into the car and driving on the highway only to discover a constant reminder of “the virus that shall not be named.” But in the end, I found my little bit of peace and had a wonderful time. I hope you are well. Stay sane, stay healthy. :)

Your mom always wants to watch. Love you 😍
Annie Runyon mommaaaaaaa!!!!!! Xoxoxo xoxoxo
thank you for this video! I've been a long time viewer of yours, and I just love the peacefulness and aesthetic of your videos. I often go back and re-listen to the old ones, because it feels like interacting with a friend, in a way.
It was about April 10, 2020 I went into hospital feeling very ill. Was in for 5 days. Thought I was in BIG trouble. The date of your Vlog #8 brought back so many memories for me. You looked a bit sad in #8. Hope you are in a much better
place now. Your pen and ink reviews. journaling comments, and in general the atmosphere of each segment you present makes me very happy to see you. As a teacher you can rip my sentence structure apart. Just trying to get the idea to you about how happy you make us feel doing your videos. I got a Parker Duofold Junior for my 11th birthday in 1956. A Parker fountain pen was the only thing I wanted. I still have the pen. It works perfectly. I use it constantly. My dad went to the shop with me. It still plays in my head as a happy time.
The rambles are my favorite. It’s really refreshing to hear someone else talk about the way they are using their time 😌💜
heavenxmint thank you, I appreciate it!
Watching and listening from Thailand, and you’ve put a little cheer into my day. So, yeah, people do watch your vlogs, and you’re doing more good than you know. Thank you. 🙂🙏🏽
A BENEFIT YOU HAVE IN MAKING THIS VLOG IS GENUINELY BECAUSE YOURE SOOO SWEET! PEOPLE GRAVITATE TOWARDS THAT. ESPECIALLY IN THIS SEASON. BELIEVIE IT OR NOT SOME CAN CONCUR THAT WE CARE ABOUT YOU. THERE MAY BE SOME THAT KIND OF CRUTCH ON YOU BECAUSE WHERE THEY ARE THEY DONT HAVE THE LUXURY OF BEING AROUND PLEASANT PEOPLE (LIKE YOURSELF).
TMI but I dont care: when I get the blues or get " bloody my hands from punching the concrete wall" angry i know I can go to your journal video where your intro is of you slowly rising from the journals. that's so calming to me.... It never fails to see you do that for me. Some ask why are you so smiley for???...... I have my reason. ;)
Enjoyed. I agree with you. We can%’the change what is going on in world, but we can control how we act and react to it. I am making the best of it as much as possible. Stay safe.
YASSS GIRL... SEE?... You did it.. That's vlogging. You just "share", "hangout", talk to me, show me...and I/we listen, live vicariously through your experiences, your daily life, your edited clips and chosen music. You did great. I LOVED it! It was calming and you took my mind off of the negative. ♥️♥️♥️
Just saw this. It's comforting especially in these days. Want the ukelele lessons too
Panta Ksianno I’m glad, thank you. I might put together some of the lessons for the kids and put them up here.
I think you hit just the right tone for this. It was like we were each sitting in our houses chatting through the open windows. This whole whack-a-doodle situation we’re in is allowing (forcing?) us to appreciate the simple pleasure of another person’s company. No frills, no distractions, just one-on-one human interaction that we’ve somehow lost along the way. Hope we can do it again :).

Anyway, thank you for creating content, and I hope that doing it brings you a sense of joy and connection. Have a lovely day!
This was a really comforting video. It’s nice to just sit down and listen to someone when social interaction has been so limited recently. I hope you’re well and I’d love to see more of these Videos of your thoughts and just rambly chats
These are my favorite videos!! I could listen all day!! 😀👍
Tess A aww well that’s appreciated! Glad you enjoyed :)
You helped,it helped. I am in love with the inks you showed the other day. I found a store in Texas that has them half off. I had a good day. I posted pics of flowers, lowquats (fruit) and my porch cat and her kittens. It was a good day.
So nice to see the haircut! Very pretty
S Ward thank you very much!
Hahaha. Yep vlogblog. Most vlogs people put out there are just disorganized blogs done in a different space. This was nice because Im still in pandemic mode being safe so don’t even go grocery shopping too often or out for tea breaks, but started watching far more utube so catching up on subscriptions I like so really nice to get this Vlog to see you! I like your vids & it’s nice to see you: how you & others are doing during all this! I sometimes wonder what everyone’s up to on a more personal level because - let’s face it - we hear/see quite enough about how “the country” is doing (I think you know what I mean ... ).

Hi Alicia! I love how natural you are in each video, I especially love your Vlogs, this being your first you did a great job!... and you remind me of me when I was young. The colours you love, around your house you are moving into, the scarf/bandana tied around your neck, the fact that you journal so much.

Fountain pen, any lined paper and ink, was all I used as a young teen into adulthood, but now there's too much to choose from. Watching your videos, is a calming experience for me. Thank you for doing Vlogs, I like yours alot!
I need a Chic Sparrow A5 folio or Travelers notebook with all the bells and whistles. What buy & sell group did you find yours?? Also aside from your teaching for your schoolchildren, do you have any other UA-cam channels?? I hope to hear from you soon!

Thank you for chatting with us! I was eating breakfast while watching this and it made me feel like I was eating with you instead of on my own! :)
You did great! I've only talked to my daughter and my husband for 4 weeks, so I loved watching and hearing you!!!
I'm a teacher as well up in NYS. I actually rewrote most of the first Percy Jackson novel for my English language learners and narrated it on my other channel.

Thank you for doing your videos. There is something so Zen about watching you. As you talk, I feel the stress of the day leaving!
Cathy Ortega thank you Cathy. I hope your week goes well. Stay healthy :)

I love watching your vlogs. You are so authentic . Listening to you brightens my day. Your hair looks beautiful. ☺️.
Love your hair, thank you for all the vlogs, I am always happy to see another video of yours...you are such a beautiful human being.
Hi. I just wanted to say, your channel has helped kept me sane during this uncertainty.

You have such a relaxing genuine vibe that I really appreciate. Thank you for making these videos.
Hi. I’m pretty new to fountain pens, inks and paper. Can you make a comparison video on what notebooks you like and why? Just a suggestion. Thank you!
Thanks for vlogging for us! I am so grateful for folks who are doing this! I know it's outside your comfort zone but it's making an impact. Love the folio! Cheers!
Great vlog!!
This was great! It’s a human interest story :)
ScubaSchaef yeah I suppose you’re right! I enjoy hearing others, it just feels strange sometimes doing it myself. Appreciate your being here. :)
So appreciate your chats, it is something wonderful to look forward to, good to see how someone else is dealing and processing the current experience. Be well 😊
Sweet vulnerability. It was surprisingly touching. Thank you for sharing. 💛
greenmittens thank you!
Your vlogging and blogging shares a lot of inner happiness. Keep up the good work!
Love your honesty I look forward to your videos like visiting a young friend with a fresh outlook on things ..Huggs to you from across the water as I sip a herbal tea and reflect on things around me 😎🇦🇺👍🌍💫
Hi. I’m new to your videos and I appreciate them so much. Thank you Melanie, London UK
Love your vlogs 😍 Its an assorted box of chocolates, its all sweetly rich and warm but comes in a variety of interesting flavors 😃 I found your vlogs coz I was interested in furthering my knowledge in inks and fountain pens, but I stayed coz your vlogs are so varied and so genuine.

I so love listening to you ramble! I also love your hair on you! It suits you!
Miss Mrs Mom thanks so much!
Your hair is so incredibly cute! I love to see the haircut live :) Thank you for sharing this little window into your life.
Jennie Eveleigh Lamond thank you! The hair cut simply involved me cutting off my two ponytails. I didn’t even go back and do any styling, because I simply don’t know how, haha!
You look great with the new hair style.
Love your positive thoughts and attitude about life during these hectic pandemic days.
Thanks for sharing your beautiful thoughts and attitude.
Take care of yourself.
Be safe and well
Great ramble and update on the channel. Thank you and stay safe out there.
jvpsurf thank you as well :)
Expressing oneself is always important, but especially during this time I think...thanks for sharing!
Gabe M. You’re absolutely right. Thank you :)
This was great. Thank you for chatting with us!
I like these kind of videos 😁 and the pen on the top of the folio...genius. 🤯
Jennifer Blocker it works so well! I’m quite giddy about it all to be honest, lol!
I cannot wait to go for walks. I’ve been at home isolating myself for obvious reasons. So nice seeing your video!!
Lola Mitchell I hope that day comes for you soon. I’d imagine the emotional complications were just as challenging as the physical.
I like these kind of vids. Youre an interesting person to listen to. Thanks for livening up this corner of youtube.
Vintage Life thank you for stopping by and taking the time to participate in this little corner!
It is always so refreshing to watch your videos!
Retro Christmas Chic thank you :)
It is weird, but I’m glad to see you and hear what’s in your brain. ❤️ Being outside has kept me sane. Even if I can’t go far right now.
Sara Tonin hi Sara, it’s special to have you here. Feels normal in someway, and apparently normal is now becoming not normal, haha. How are you keeping your time?
October 6th and Hello! 😃 I’ve been watching your newer videos. A teacher eh? Very rewarding job I imagine?👍🏻
Richard Barnes hello, hello! I was a teacher, and now I’m not, haha. Just “retired” this year. Now what? I haven’t a clue... >.
i could probably use your ukulele basics class. LOL
A lovely ramble for a Friday afternoon
noreen roche hope your Friday was enjoyable. :)
Thank you for the video. You seem to have so much inner peace- something that I always look for. I finished Kidnapped. I think having better knowledge of Scottish history would have helped. I enjoyed it though. Take care and stay healthy. 📚.
“How do I do this?” - is a kind of therapy...you need this and also people like me can enjoy, is a therapy too :) ... and yah, this is art.
Emil Mircea thank you Emil. You’re right, it is a kind of therapy. A verbalized journal. Thank you for being here :)
Love the vlog!
I've had a lot of human connection moments just passing people on the street (it's quite rural here, lots of room to move off to the side and not that many people outside), when you both move aside to let the other one pass at the appropriate distance - a nod, a smile, a thank you
Which ukulele piece is that, at the beginning?
I love it, makes me want to pick up mine again!
Enjoyed your vlog, please continue making them👍🏼
sweetwaters6 thank you :)
Lover of culture, music, reading, animals, nature, fountain pens, tranquility, teacher ... I am your passionate fan! ❤❤❤❤
I find you sooo interesting lol i felt as if we literally we having a conversation hehe
Felix Tallabas thank you for being here! I hope your week goes well. :)
AdventureDenali likewise Doll :)
I've also been using writing prompts. I downloaded the Question Dairy app, and it asks a question every day. I've been using those as prompts.
Kimmy Vera oh that’s such a great ideal! I’ll have to check the app out.
Hi. I am well and going with the flow Miss church the most
Sandy Tustin Hawkins have you had any online services? I know my dad’s church had an Easter Sunday online. Such a strange world. Stay healthy :)
Now I wish I was a kid for the uke class!!!
Christine hahah! Well maybe I could post the videos here too? They’re pretty basic, but it could be fun.
AdventureDenali That would be great! I would appreciate it and try them, have a little uke but cant play at all 🙈😘
Hi there. As someone who lives alone and has not had human contact with another person in almost 15 days, thank you for your vlog. It provided a sense of reassurance, a respite, in this difficult time. Thanks 😊
AV Lopez hello! I’m glad to give you so company in this strange isolated time. I hope you’re finding ways to stay sane and managing to connect with other people in whatever capacity.
I listened to it. You did great. To make it less weird for you....maybe check-in throughout one of your days, show off some hobbies or things you enjoy doing. I do enjoy rambles though.
Holli Holland that’s a great idea, thank you :)
I naturally have no friends or any family so the lockdown is like normal life for me, the one thing I do miss is being able to go journal or study in a cafe, cafe sounds tricks my brain into thinking I have friends or know people. Now it's staying at home watching youtube videos and writing. Now I am starting to feel alone.
I love the way you care for your things. You should be in front of the camera more often. You’re cute and bubbly and smart.
These are difficult, trying times and sharing your experiences can serve to motivate others so thank you for sharing. I was toying with the idea of starting a journal but when I put pen to paper I want to start every paragraph with "I" and then my mind goes blank lol.
Rhe school videos, that must be why you wanted to do a videolog, btw this is prety great of all of you to be doing this for the kids.......and I'm still in the hermit stage myself 😋
You wondered why anyone would be interested in watching your vlog. I guess because when we stop being interested in other people we also lose interest in life. I enjoy all of your videos, whether they be pen-related or vlogs. That's why many of us subscribe to your channel.

Beacause we are all equally as deprived of social interactions as you are. Also your voice is soothing and we have similar interests. :) I enjoyed it!
Love your vlogs! Especially during isolation. Could you tell me, what would be a good size ukelele for an adult? 21-inch or 23-inch? And are some "soprano" and some not? I'm seriously thinking of getting one. Thank you!!
Patty Figurski my favorite size is the concert and baritone. Concert because it’s still small and easy to carry around, but I feel it’s more capable that a soprano and has a greater depth of sound. Baritone I like simply because of the tuning, it’s like a little guitar and can be played as such. Really, the size is more personal than physical. They all have their pros and cons. Tenors have an even richer sound than their smaller siblings, but you loose some of the carry-ability. And when I say carry-ability, I mean, pack up and take anywhere ease. In reality, they’re all pretty small and easy to take around! I think sopranos are fun, but can be a little limiting. Concert hands down is my preferred size when considering the standard ukuleles.
@@adventuredenali Thank you so much!
shout out to the rest of her 'appreciative' followers!!!!
It’s actually relaxing to listen to you and not about the c word cause everywhere I go (on the internet) it’s all about the c word and how many people died from it. I’m just tired of c. C please see your way out! Haha! And you are the truest, realist person meaning you don’t live up to society’s standard but up to your own. I am so sick of every girl doing make up and acting all fake. Stop the fake acting and fake happiness girls!
You should do a hiking vlog...do some talking and then show the scenery with music like your other vlogs or videos.
Atash Hamasa hello and thank you. Yeah, I too am tired of it... but then I find myself wanting to talk about it or trying to escape it rather! I saw your comment and suggestion about the hiking video. I tried to do something like that. To be honest, I was a little frustrated, getting into the car and driving on the highway only to discover a constant reminder of “the virus that shall not be named.” But in the end, I found my little bit of peace and had a wonderful time. I hope you are well. Stay sane, stay healthy. :)
Teacher here as well. What do you teach?
Hello! I was teaching at a Montessori school, grades 3-5, so a little bit of everything. Primarily art, math and geography.
He didn't give you a return thumbs up?
