living alone diaries | feeling down, wrapping xmas gifts, candles and cosy vibes 

You are such a comfort person to me and so grateful to have you to watch 💜. And thank you so much for showing support for the people of Gaza. 🍉🇵🇸

This video was like being on FaceTime with a friend. My best friend and I had a falling out a while ago and I’ve missed having this so much. After a hard day this video was a blessing so thank you. We will all be fine

It takes a lot of courage to say 'I'm not fine and that's ok, now what can I actively do to make myself feel better?' and sometimes that is literally just a fun movie or show, a nice hot drink and some candles. Total vibes. 💖 (It's also the season, tbh - the cold and early dark in the evenings does NOT help.) Also, omg, Flying Tiger is insane - I can walk in for one thing and walk out with 10 things and a snack. Love it.

You are such a comfort person to me and so grateful to have you to watch 💜. And thank you so much for showing support for the people of Gaza. 🍉🇵🇸 iam so happy that you are a human

We love you taz 🤍 thank you for showing your support for the people of Gaza ❤🍉🇵🇸

Taz thank you I’ve been following you since the begging since when you were in the little room of your parents house and you bring me so much joy thank you for the link in the description so much 😉 it shows me what a good person you are 🍉🍉🍉

Thank you for being so open and honest Taz, it helps to not feel alone. My mental health in the last few months has been really bad after I was diagnosed with an aggressive cancer. Post surgery has been a struggle and I'm getting through my dark moments by watching youtube channels that I can relate to. Wishing you and all healthy, more positive 2024

my safe place is back!

Hey Taz. I’m with you on not being fine. Earlier this year I contacted my doctor in an absolute messy state. She got me an urgent referral to a psychiatrist 3 hours away and well that ended up in a 3 month long psych ward stay, which saved my life. I’ve been out just over 2 months now and I’m back to a point where I think the next appointment I have with my psych he will suggest another admission 😢 But I wanted to say the things that have helped me, when I can do them. Every day, I go outside, even if it’s just for a minute. And every day I do something for myself. Whether it’s a walk, or a bit of time learning Australian sign language, or guitar. Or drawing, embroidery, reading. Meditations, anything! Even if it’s just 5 minutes of something for myself. It’s helped a lot! The only problem is having the motivation to actually do these things, but when I do I feel it immediately. Good luck. Find your people who will sit and be “not fine” right beside you, and who will pick you up when you need it. Being ourselves is the secret to finding those people, and respecting ourselves enough to cut out people who don’t add anything to our lives. Life is hard and ugly and unfair, but it is also what we make it. We can make it beautiful and fun and full of amazing things. We just can’t believe it’s always sunshine and rainbows, and not be scared to speak up when it gets dark. Love to anyone who’s here with us

Taz - "I'm very much an animated girlie" Taz - "Shaun the Sheep!" 👁👄👁

Your videos are like a cosy hug in the winter and also thanks for supporting Gaza and encouraging others to donate. In all the madness and evil happening in the world and the darkness of winter, it can be easy to not speak up and to feel down but your videos are like a bright light.

this video definitely felt like a FaceTime catch up with a friend you haven't seen for a long time 🥺☺! I feel you heavily Taz on the ' like I am fineee..like I AM FINE... ' !!! This year has been a heavy one mentally and spiritually, wishing everyone a good finish to 2023 and blessings for 2024 🤎

I think so many of us are not OK at the moment in general, with some going through more extremes of that not being OK feeling. Sending big hugs your way, please know that you're far from alone. And as a fellow single dweller, if veg is going off and you've the energy to peel and chop it, stick it in the freezer and it's perfect for soups and saucy dinners down the line and saves on veg buying another week. I don't eat avocado though so can't help you on that one! Now I'm off to source that Tata mug because, despite being 43 years old, I cannot get enough of bt21/bts merch apparently! Stay safe Taz, and thanks for all you do. Xx

I'm almost 52, but I love your posts so much. The realness of the rollercoaster of moods that is life 🤗❤️ Have a wonderful Christmas and I hope 2024 is kind to you xx

I'm right there with you on the "not fine" train, not sure what these past few weeks have been... It's great that you know what makes you feel better. We'll be fine again. 🤗

Your vlogs are a comfort watch for me. Thank you for vlogging when your feeling in the mood. Hope you start feeling better soon. I guess we're all getting through it, we have made it past this year, so let's continue guys!!!!!!

I dont often like to comment on videos but i just had to tell you that you are one of my all time favourite youtubers/content creators. I love how open you are about your mental health and how you have such a soft caring vibe to you. I myself struggle a lot with mental health and i tend to hide the fact that i am because i dont like to feel my feelings so with you being open and telling us about your day or week it makes me feel safe and comfortable and also lets me feel as if i can tell people that i am indeed not okay or struggling ❤

Hey I don’t know if you will even see this comment but just sending good vibes and hope everything gets better for you! You got this!

Thank you for this video, I'm also going through it at the moment and this brought me some comfort! Hang in there, things will get better ❤

A HUGE THANK YOU for everything taz, youre a lovely human being

Ugh I swear, this month has been ROUGH. My mental health has been awful, can't barely stand it anymore so I understand you, Taz. Let's just focus on the present and live day by day

I hope you are feeling better soon ❤. Going through a few things myself at the moment and watching your videos always makes me feel almost warm inside. Merry Christmas to you and I hope you have a good one x

I love Flying Tiger! I first came across this shop when I was on holiday. It was the first shop where I felt like buying literally everything!

Love you so much darling, I honestly appreciate your vulnerability to show us that you are only human and we all love you taz.x Gurl you are the best & wish you well darling because you have been such a positive individual who's given most of us a new sense of just accepting being the way we are & just doing what we wish in life.❤

I feel like I relate to you in many ways 😂 that's why I think I gravitate to your videos so often, I don't feel alone at all when I listen to you. Thank you for being here! And thank you for speaking on Palestine. It really sucks seeing other people with a platform not use their voice to stand up against genocide. Please take care ❤

hugs.. i always try to remind myself its okay not to be okay

I haven't been feeling great either:( I hope we all feel better again❤

19:30 I'm so grateful for you and your videos! They have gotten me through some tough times recently and have been really comforting ❤ also thanks for posting donation links to Gaza in the description

even though you did it in your second channel and not main, i appreciate you linking to show support Gaza. So many youtubers are not acknowledging at all whats happening. I guess cus you care about your money and sponsorships and dont want to openly support yet youtubers are supporting Israel and no one is cancelling them.

Hey Taz, not sure if you'll see this comment, but as someone who has spent a long time not feeling my feelings, I totally understand the impulse to avoid. I'm also in therapy and it is helping me. The thing is while some people might see watching the shows, or doing the tasks as distractions or avoidance, it is really a form of self care. It allows us the space to just be, without pressure to feel, or we can feel things in manageable bites. Achieving a healthy mental state is about making the choice daily to do a little work on, and some days that work is finding comfort in simple pleasures. It isn't an easy path to a healthy mental and emotional state, and some days it can feel as if it is hopeless and too difficult, and those are the days to be kind to yourself. Remember that you aren't alone. Keep being yourself, and be kind to yourself, love an Aussie who understands ❤

As a mum and someone who often is also not doing okay, I've been thinking about you, since you've not been posting regularly. I'm glad you posted here, and I think it's going to help people to see you being so honest about where you're at, to feel less alone in that space. For the nails, the trick is starting to apply the color in the center of your nail and then working out from there. I was totally unable to do my nails cleanly until I learned this trick! Cristine over at SimplyNailogical has been doing live tutorials lately and some of her tips have been really great and easy to follow.

I love you Taz.. truly. You've been with me through ups and downs for many years. Thank you for doing you. I hope this new year brings you emotional abundance and lots of love

Flying tiger is one of my favourite shops ever. I come from Norway, moved to the UK two years ago, and wow the ability to go to flying tiger and recognise Scandinavian items and a Scandinavian language has brought me so much joy. I go in there and for a second I feel like I'm home again Edit: fixed typo

The Bear is phenomenal. Shows like that help us process complex feelings so it’s not necessarily distracting you from your feelings but rather allowing you to access the complexities of all the feelings that are rising up. Therapy will really help as well. One day at a time, you got this.

I relate to so many aspects of your life 😅 been living alone for a year now - my bedroom's also very minimalistic, and generally i'm trying to keep everything relatively clean, cuz my brain is also so fast paced and chaotic that i just go insane if everythings a mess too (tho it does get messy too, and my mental health hates it) - also the look inside the fridge is so nervewrecking, i either have too much stuff or way too little, they should do more "1 person portions" that dont cost so much more 🙃 same also with the nail polish and watching stuff - i too have been going through it so i wanted to paint my nails and i bought disney+ to binge some movies, tho i usually dont watch a lot of films/series Love knowing I'm not alone ! Thank you for your videos and thank you for being you - you will make it through and thrive again

Ugh I've had so many nightmares lately, too. So sorry. It makes sleeping so stressful, so I put it off, and then get even more exhausted. Sorry to hear you've experienced that too!

I honestly have missed these types of videos!! YaY

Love this channel. So comfy

I love you videos ❤❤❤ Keep up the good work K dramas i recommend are business proposal, my name , bloodhound, the glory and king the land ❤❤❤❤

The holidays can be a rough time and I think we don’t talk about it enough and we have so much pressure to be merry. Prayers for you as you go through it. Thank you for being authentically you.

omg I used to be OBSESSED with your videos, thank you youtube for bringing this back to me 🙏🙏🙏

i love the bear! oh my gosh, you're so right for it to be your comfort show. love you taz, hope you're doing good :)

The Bear is SOOO GOOD! I rewatch the same shows over and over bc they are so comforting 😂 try Shamless US edition if you haven't. The UK version is stellar but you may have seen it. Love you Taz!

Girl we are gonna be best friends whenever we meet. Everything is relatable. And wait a min, c'mon, it's always like this for everyone I think. Not fine days and then there are good well spent days. Even I gravitate towards watching series as it helps to disconnect from reality for some time, focus on something else. So whenever I'm done with the show, I'm in different mindset and not much stressed as before. I think we subconsciously know how to deal with things. Happy holiday Taz. 😉

Thanks for being real and I hope your day gets better and your wonderful spirit and smile break through. I am also having a tough time at the moment and just trying to get through it.

taz this is so lovely to show that we aren’t all okay all the time, i love ur NAILS. I’m glad we are on the same page in terms of flying tiger. i found one in cyprus came home and spent about £40 on their website !! oh my god i need that candle lighter and i love the MUG.

taz ur such a comfort person for me u literally feel like home

A good way to get a nice finish on your nails is to do the base coat, top coat, wait for them to dry fully and then take a shower and then in the shower, using a metal nail file with a blunt point, carefully scrape away the excess nail polish from the areas that you don't want it Eg: On the skin around your nails. You will need to be very careful as even if it is set, after you have your shower the nails can be very easily dented.

I miss you taz..you're the best..its ok to not be ok..embrace yourself..give yourself time..let it out..your vlog has always been awesome and i could never get bored...i just love it so much..

my comfort person ♥️ watched the entire add for you haha love youuuu ♥️♥️

thank you for speaking out, we appreciate it.

With veg you can pre prep it and freeze it. Then you can just take what you need and it’s lasts longer. Saves it going bad and saves you money. My mom does it with all veggies and garlic and ginger. It helps

As I watch this, I'm coming out the funk that I was in the last week and your video as always made me feel like its okay that I didnt feel like my 100% self❤ thank you Taz x

Yes! I was literally wondering today where you had got to Taz. All is now right with the world 😌

I haven't been feeling well too, my depression has been really bad lately, this vlog made me feel better. Thank you, Taz ♥♥

i recommend making pickle out of the vege. Like vietnamese carrot pickle, pickles cabbage. Save more time and no rotten vege 😊😊😊😊

Glad you are doing something that helps make you feel better!

Thank you for pushing yourself to film vlogs to update us

love it, such comfort vibes.

So happy to see your face! Life has been a rollercoaster and this is so relaxing. Like catching up with a friend

Taz, we’ve never met but you feel like a long time best friend who I really love. You deserve all the happiness in the world. And thank you for putting yourself out there which enables all of us to connect with you.

❤❤❤ just started the video, and, as always, you are perrrty !!! Absolute Truth!!!!!

Your vlog videos are great Tazzy, you should definitely do more of them. I hope you feel better soon!

Love the honesty😊...I'm not fine, in therapy for PTSD I'm going thru a lot I hope to be at the end soon cuz I'm not in that space of joking about it yet 😔🫤...wishing both of us & whoever needs it good mental health now & in future 🙏🏾...cute Christmas dish

Kdramas is the best, I recommend Hometown cha cha cha, my demon and business proposal, but there are a lot more good ones to feel all the feelings. When I'm down I am always watching them

Ah, this is like a hug I needed!

Thank you for making the video🙂

Boom!! Living alone too!! Hey roomy!!!

Love your videos I really see myself in a lot of things you say) Hope you feel better real soon

oh Taz, lol. nails: do a few coats of very thin layers, less polish on the brush so you have more control. yes it takes a bit longer but much tidier. we love the content you give us. never give up Taz x

Show: Into to the night, Yellowjackets, The act, Maid (2021) Movies: Knives out, Family switch(Christmas theme), No one will save you. I hope you gonna enjoy these. :) Everything will be fine, do what you need to. We love you, and here. We gonna watch every video you put out, so do it if that's what you need, watch shows and don't think for few days, it's okay.

I haaaaate the Bear😅. It's giving me soooo much anxiety. And I don't even watch it with the sound on, since I can only watch tv when my baby is sleeping. I cannot imagine how hectic it is with the sound on😂

You always look beautiful ❤️ Sending you love and hugs 🤗 Thank you for all that you do for us. You mean a lot to us and have seen us through some tough times. I am hopeful that we are able to do the same for you ❤xx

You always know the right time to upload!

The weightlifting fairy one of my favourite kdramas ! Should give it a watch :)

It's funny bc I did my nails after a very rough week but I was full of red dots and the doctor said that it is a body reaction to crazy stress levels

Sending you lots of love Taz 💕

Taz brings in so much HAPPY vibes🥰

Hi Taz hope your doing well & love you Please be stronger & you are amazing person❤❤

People in Sudan also suffering pray for both Sudan and gaze learn more about Sudan war please 🙏

flying tiger is also in poland! the products always have funny names there lmao

Comment 2; It's an ADHD thing. We need white empty spaces because they don't trigger problem solving or rabbit hole thoughts x

I live alone now too. My friends mother died and i was taking care of her

Thanks for letting us be somewhat of your friend ❤

It's ok to make meals based on what should be eaten first, it's actually good not to waste food , you are great don't blame yourself for everything, I do the same bc of ADHD but we dhould say consider not judging ourselves all the time!!!

Please know we’re here for you. Even though we’re random strangers. We care. Please know we all struggle the same way. We love you and want you to be happy!

Taz, make the freezer your friend - bulk cook and freeze the rest for another day

Hjem til Jul!! The perfect Christmas show❤ If you need a longer show: Once upon a time

ive never watched naruto but it has been comforting to watch (i watch the dub version, switching between mandarin and english). the bear was chaotic and comforting.

girl i feel you. im neurodivergent too and also been dealing with bad dreams lately.

Do the washing up a few hours after you paint your nails and they’ll be cleaned up. 😊

brooklyn 99 ...the best comfort show ever

i was rlly missing these vlogs

watch the fosters its so good has made me cry many times

i feel like i know you somehow! thats how much down to earch and lovely you are

You need to come to Maine in the United States if you think 56 degrees is really that cold, it's 14 here now

I love also that biscuit tea, but be careful, it's black and has very much caffeine compared with what I drink until this 😅

I just finished Yellowstone and I’m empty and lost and dread evenings knowing I don’t have an episode to watch, it’s actually not healthy 😭

@Taz It’s ok to not be ok I lost my mum 9 months ago she passed away from lung cancer and I’m struggling eating everything in sight and not coping with keeping on top of cleaning the house
