sick during the snowstorm, my journals, & reading updates 🍵❄️ 

How awesome to hear someone care about going out when sick. So many people just don’t think about others.

If you’re still looking for affordable but cute things to decorate your journal spreads w I rly recommend cutting out photos from thrifted books or magazines and glueing/taping them in ! It’s not as quick or easy as stickers but I find the cutting out process rly relaxing lol, as for as adhesive goes a regular glue stick works great but can be a bit messy so i like to use a double sided tape roller

I’m loving all the bookish content! 😊📚

So nice to see Hillary and Shannon in a vlog again. Congrats to Hillary! Being an auntie is going to be so much fun for you.

I bought my first Riley Sager book yesterday because of you. I saw it at winner's and thought "Fern loves this author" so I bought it haha. BOTM helps you read new things and you help me lol.

Book of the Month... GIVE THIS GIRL A SPONSORSHIP. Lol You make me want to read more in 2024.

I am glad that you didn't stop vlogging when you were sick because sometimes it feels so lonely when you're sick and you feel like it's only ever happens to yourself and Idk when people say they are sick or they were sick you don't really ever see how awful it can be so it can feel like a lonely experience, so thanks for showing and I hope you are at 100% again🌹❤️ xoxo kat

Your videos are so calming and enjoyable. Thank you for all you share 🌿✨

Fern please don't apologise for actually making the time to share with us.. I feel bad you feel like you have to video even when your not feeling well. I am so glad your feeling better. Great FANTASTIC news about Olive 💚🐶 much appreciation for "your partner" for helping when he can and I am actually on the way to chapters to see if I can find a paint-by-number.. Been years (maybe decades 😨) since I have done any. Have a blessed week!

I can’t wait to hear what you think about Rouge!! It was so good and weird too!

Im obsessing over your channel rn. Your videos are just so cozy! 💚

Love your content! So glad you and Olive are doing well! 💚✨🌈

Love all your videos! Now I’m into Mooncat polish from loving your 💅. Could you maybe go over your polish collection in a video!?

Sometimes if you keyword the author you can find book interviews on youtube from the reading community. I love finding the interviews with the authors I also too set a timer for everything cause it helps me keep real track oof how long certain tasks take me. I got covid for the first time and it took me out for all of December.

That cake is stunning 🤩

Living on the Canadian coast, the cold hits different! I lived in Southern AB for years and while the temps were often technically colder in the winter, nothing compares to the deep damp cold of the Canadian coast. Signed, a lil plant lady on the south east coastline of Newfoundland!

Glad you’re feeling better! 💛

Glad you're feeling well again!

Hi Fern! So glad to hear you’re better and that Olive’s doing well 💚 Loved watching this cozy vlog this lovely Sunday morning. ☕️🪴

Perfect timing!! Love your vlogs Fern. So happy about Olive 🥰🥰 and glad your feeling better. I can't wait to see how you do your garden and what plans you have to grow. Would love to see a vlog of you planning your garden etc, its the one thing i struggle with because i just want to grow everything and than get overwhelmed and end up not going through with it 😖😖.x.

I love the chattiness 💜💚

Im currently reading Interesting Facts About Space, I’m loving it I’ve never related more to a character in a book more than Enid!

I love this song you often play! what a beautiful song Fern! I hope you are feeling better ❤

Yummy the black bean rice bowl sounds great.

First Lie Wins ATE one of my fave reads of this year for sure!

Glad you’re feeling better, and so happy Olive is doing good also! We’re getting a snowstorm, starting late tonight, grrrrrr I hate shovelling! Take care much love, Tammy from Nova Scotia 🇨🇦😊

I went to Cirque de Soleil a couple years ago in Las Vegas and I enjoyed it so much! I too am a theater/performance art/art in general kind of girlie ❤ Plants, books and arts are definitely my jam. No wonder I love your channels! Glad you're recovering, sickness like you had is so rough! I'm glad you got to enjoy your events before it hit you! Have a great weekend Fern! 🪴

Continue well Fern. Enjoyed so much mix ,making the cake,special times 🧸🍼✨. Great news about Olive 🐾💜. The snow is beautiful but sooo🥶,stay warm ... Great reads.. 💚🌿🌵🍀💚

Great news for olive! If you don't already watch garden answer for the outside gardening, she is great.

Oh bless you Fern,you've had a rough few days. Pleased to see you're feeling better! I've seen cirque du soleplate a couple of times in London, absolutely amazing what they can do! Thanks for content even though you were feeling sick x

Glad your feeling better Fern and happy news Olives heart issues are improving 😀🇨🇦

happy sunday fern!!!

That is such good news about little Olive. She's just so precious 🫒 glad you're feeling better. ✨☀️

Hi Fern. Glad to hear you are getting better and that Olives heart condition has improved 💖. Happy to hear you enjoyed Cirque de Soleil. Love the book review and how you keep a journal to keep on track with life 👍 After I finished reading "A street cat named Bob", I found the sequel called "The word according to Bob" in the same charity store. Halfway through, so good!!!

Exciting Saturday plans 😮😅 I’ve never been either, but have always wanted to . It made my day seeing you posted a vlog❤🌿☀️🐾🎶always look forward to it. Anxious to see your next cooking video, and book reviews too . Happy Saturday all! ☮️

Omg! I'm doing my nails watching you!! Just finished using Raven by Mooncat when you mentioned your nail color 😍💅🏽

Such a cozy vlog! I am also feeling sick at the moment and been drinking many cups of green tea and cough syrup, when coughing starts up. Hope this helps and feel better soon! 🌿🌱💚

Glad you’re feeling better 🦋💗✨

Love your nail polish colors and shape! And love the bookish content! I recently bought Piranesi after watching your vlogs, will be going away for a few days just to chill with a good book. Thanks for your content!

Hi fern! I just finished ‘snow child’ for my winter read :)

That book by Lisa See sounds really good.

We have a stop in Victoria at the end of our Alaskan cruise. It is just a short evening time, so, I have no idea what to do! Love your content, Fern! Keep it coming and feel the best! ❤

I love your vlogs even when they're "just talking". It's still very relaxing and interesting to listen to your thoughts on different things. ✨ I love journaling too and I'm trying to do it in a "healthy" way this year (where I'm not getting mad at myself for not doing it everyday)... so far I'm succeeding. ☺️

Hi Fern 💚 I’m not sure if you have heard about the “A Court Of Thorns And Roses” series, but if you liked Fourth Wing I think you will love the Acotar series! It’s so so good and each book gets better and better! ❤

I love your vids

I'm pretty sure I had the same thing, was like an icky 3 day flu but with a lingering cough. Sucks but glad it was short like you said

I have to check out that Lisa Sea book. I love her writing:

My recommendation about the outside garden. Start with just a few veggies. I like having cherry tomatoes and lettuce… some herbs like mint, ciboulette and/or cilantro AND plant some ornamental plants, trees and/or flowers so it will look pretty during the spring and summer (those ones don’t need so much attention like the veggie ones so is not going to be soooo overwhelming). So yeah, start simple :) and then year after year you can start increasing the number of veggies (gradually) :B Loooove your reading journal, like, the cover and gold profile of the pages. Soooo pretty!!! BUT it was kinda overwhelming to see so many parts that you should/could fill… I know myself so I know I would end up forgetting or avoiding to do it 😅. In my case I just have a blank journal (I like those ones that have dots instead of lines) and then I kinda copy Leonie’s “template” (from “The Book Leo” youtube channel). Her videos about this matter are called: “3 Great Ways To Organise Your Reading” and “My 2021 Reading Bullet Journal Setup” Oh, and I use Notion for my TBR and to have a super simple list of books I read. If it is easy and simple, I'm more likely to actually document my readings😆

I was sick with bronchitis since the beginning of December and it was brutal. My husband surprised me with tickets to see U2 at the sphere in Vegas for my Christmas present. We’re also going to Cirque de Soleil O when we’re there and I’m so excited!

I’m loving the music while you’re watering. It’s really pretty. What is it?

Just found your channel and loving it. Love the book recommendations. I just moved to New Brunswick, are you in the Maritimes? You are so fun to watch, I have subscribed!

That's why I can't keep a paper journal. One mistake and I’m SO mad at myself.

i would love botm if it was softcovers. i really hate hardcovers

Hey fern it's Jason I hope you feel better soon💖💖💖🙂💯👍👋 it is raining like crazy here🤣

Me like 1000 years late to this but omg you’re on the Hobonichi train 😍 I have 2 Hobonichi weeks this year. One for planning and one for all my hobbies 😊

The vet should have let you know Olive needed to fast. Even if they had already gone over the process they should have sent you a reminder. It's not that hard to email the info. Anyway I hope Olive gets her dental work done and heals quickly 🥰

📚❤️

I'm so thankful for pet insurance, my poor dog had pneumonia twice and hemorrhagic gastroenteritis, all within a year of me owning her. She has been hospitalized twice and she's not even 2🥲

Hi, Fern! On your recommendation, I read, “Piranesi”. I loved it. Thank-you. Have you read,” The Starless Sea” or “The Night Circus” by Erin Morgenstern?

How do you print the little picture stickers is your journals? ❤️

Magnolia parks!!!!!!!!!!

Hey did you read "Magus" by John Fowles? It is also like open for interpretation, you don't know what is real what isn't, I think you would like it, I reallly like it. It is one of a kind book. Also I'm so excited for your garden! I can't have one myself since I live in apartament, but I will really enjoy your process if you decide to share it on youtube!

What is the plant next to you during your book talk?

When i read Bunny a few years ago, I had mixed feelings about it. I'd agree with the 3/5 stars, but it has been a while since I've read it

🥰🥰🥰

Have you read Iron Flame after finishing Fourth Wing?

Does anyone know where the purple sweater from the end of the vlog is from? It suits Fern so well!

Sometimes in the front rows of cirque shows the audience gets wet or pulled into the edges of the show.

What happened with Olive's cardiogram?

If you love thrillers, have you read The Housemaid by Frieda McFadden ?

You shouldn’t have to call and check that you have the whole picture of what’s needed on your part.

Get some NyQuil, you'll get some sleep and feel better😢

Is it possible for you to get pet insurance for Olive? Or since this is pre-existing condition, you can'

🩷💙🩷💙

Oh my goodness 🙌 you keep mentioning you like emotional… i cry during every single The Dodo video on youtube… its always a mix of happy tears of how beautiful and then on the flip side of the same coin how could anyone let that happen to an animal… wild rollercoaster of emotions for me hahaha its like awe i want to watch that one but then wait i cant cry right now I know you like animals too so im just sayin’

Yeah but you know the ending of the book. I don’t understand people re-reading books again.

The whole veterinarian field has changed SO much and not for the better! believe me I know…..my husky had 10 grand worth of work. And it’s all about money. it’s heartbreaking. poor Olive ❤

Covid?

Things that people will stretch their reasoning to to justify feeling sick. 🤢
