VLOG | Life Update, Books & New Jewellery 

Your honesty, vulnerability are your superpowers I cannot thank you enough. The simplicity, beauty and effortlessly of your vlogs-a true work of art. Sending big love and continued success ❤️🎉. PS Keep going.

Wishing you peace and joy on whatever road you decide.

I just want to say I really admire and respect you for asking your audience to respect a boundary you’re setting. People with an audience/following online are continually expected to just put up with this crossing of boundaries and are reprimanded for speaking up about how inappropriate it is. I just want to say this to encourage you and other people to normalise asking for boundaries between creators and audiences. I wish the best for you and Dean, I’m sorry you’re going through such a rough patch right now. But so glad to have you back !

Hi Brittany, Thank you for sharing. This week, my husband and I are splitting up after 15 years of marriage. We‘ve been together for 20 years. I feel very emotionally drainning so I understood your pain. Watching your video and see how brave you are, it gives me courage. I am very scar and lost. I feel very greatful for your honesty to your youtube audians which gives me strength to tell my families. You have always been my fashion inspriation and now I feel i am connected to you to a different level. Hopefully, we both will get through this hard time soon. I will be thinking of you each time when I need strength and courage. Take care of yourself.

“The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new.” -Socrates

Your intro/life-update wasn’t cringy at all! It was honest, vulnerable and not at all catchy or anything like that! And so much love for your for pointing out boundaries. Especially for women society makes setting boundaries so hard with all the expectations on women to always be nice, Help everyone and so on

Love a gal who can set boundaries! Consider them respected and honoured

Who knew 'realising things' would be an apt description for the year? I finally quit a nightmare of a job after realising how much emotional and mental turmoil it was causing me. My home which was a sanctity from work was no longer one when I had to work from home. I'm now at a new job (somehow possible in this economy) and I am experiencing this incredible lightness that I haven't felt in years. I prioritised friendships that truly mattered instead of satisfying toxic people. I wish you all the best in your 'realisation' because from where I am right now, it feels so damn good.

I don't know you personally and probably never will but I feel great empathy for you and wish you all the best. I've rewatched your Australian vlogs probably 3 times in the mids of first lockdown. Your daily videos give me a lot of peace of mind during these bizarre times. Thank you for giving us this little escapism, especially during such difficult part of your life. ❤️

I felt very emotional watching this video. I find your courage and self-awareness (especially in these trying times) both so heart-rending and inspiring. You are such a thoughtful content creator, Brittany. I've learned so much from your attention to detail, and care towards your surroundings and possessions. Wishing you all the best!

Brittany, I’m so proud of you for facing things head on. It’s not easy! Like many of your viewers, I’m sure, I’ve missed you over the past few weeks, but we all support you taking all the time you need between vlogs. Each vlogs feels like an unexpected gift! I’m grateful to see behind the scenes of your incredible style and life.

I am so happy for you and Dean and that you got back together. Maybe it is because this is when I discovered your channel and it was in the middle of the pandemic, but this was my favorite part of your vlogging. I absolutely loved this apartment and the content you were creating then. I will just come and revisit it once in a while.

So very brave of you and and I couldn’t agree more with SS’s comment. I never comment on videos but I felt I must say thank you for your honesty. X

MISSED YOU SO MUCH. I CANT WAIT TO WATCH 👏☺️ I hope you are okay and please know you are so so loved and appreciated ❤️

This is so brave!! Thank you for sharing and being open in your communication.🖤🖤 Lots of love for you

I had to stop the video midway and quickly say that you are so strong for addressing uncertainty instead of hiding behind it. Yes right now it afeels hard, however give it sometime and eventually it will work out. I am so sorry to hear about what happened with dean, however if I can give you piece of advice, sometimes you gotta let go and see what comes back. I hope you feel better soon and sending lots of love your way.

Finally someone who feels the same about Elinor Oliphant!

last part makes me cry... DEAN

Best to you and Dean in your period of restoration, not separation. In 2020 nothing can be swept away and it has forced us all to deal with our own 💩 Enjoy your time apart and you will know what is best for you going forward. Big hugs from Florida ❤️ to you both!

ideas: +book round up of your favourite/big recommendations for 2020 +bullet journal layout planning for 2021!

Remember the serenity prayer. Accept the things you cannot change, the courage to change the things you can and the wisdom to know the difference. Thanks for showing us how to do this with honesty, dignity and respect for yourself and others. Every good wish for your next stage of the journey.

Wishing you only the best! So happy to see you again.❤️

Hi Brittany, I've followed you for a long time. I live in Cambridge and feel a strong East Anglian loyalty to you (even though I'm not really an East Anglian by birth). Your vlogs, your ethos, your thoughtfulness and style, all delivered in a measured and gentle way have punctuated my weeks for some time now. I just wanted to wish you and Dean lots of love in finding your path(s). Mental health is so important and you need to care for your wellbeing as much, if not more, than your body. Good things really do happen to good people and I think that you both fall into that category. Be well and safe my favourite East Anglian girl! xx

Brittany, there's no need for you to apologize on the length of these vlogs, we are here for it :)

So glad to have your vlogs back Brittany, I haven’t read all the comments so I’m sure this sentiment has been shared already, but the way you feel about Japanese literature is how I feel about your vlogs. In my experience spending time on your own can very much be a gift, so I hope this time brings you more peace, clarity, and a deeper knowledge of self. Wishing both you and Dean all the best. On a lighter note I am heading straight to the Argot Studio website and crossing my fingers that they ship to Australia because those vases are beautiful!

Dear girl, It is hard to watch you bravely carry on when we know your heart is broken. I won’t offer advice, but know that there are so many of us going through this same thing right now. Massive hugs! Plus, you look amazing in those jeans. I love the length. Your new flat is gorgeous.

Thanks for being so open with us while still being very respectful. Wishing you all the very best

Ah the intro to this video made me so unexpectedly emotional, it’s really amazing to see an amicable split where both parties are so respectful to each other. Super happy for you both for being brave enough to confront and sort out your personal issues it’s so difficult to own up to your feelings sometimes and begin to heal! Wishing you the best in your lovely new home x

I love how you finished the video. Wishing you happiness

You communicate this with such eloquence. I love, though am not surprised, that the title of this video isn’t clickbaity at all when I think many would cash in on the drama of a separation. You’re a classy gal, Brittany :) Wishing you and Dean the best, and I’m super excited to see the interiors of your new place.

Thank you for opening up and sharing with us. It's been such a weird year, it's always a good thing to share, wherever possible, for yourself and for others. Love your vlogs so much

On the verge of crying, simply because I feel sad and confused about this year, too, and I can tell I should sort myself out but I’m not there yet. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings, and making us feel less lonely! I wish you the best only xx

You have zero obligation to share anything with us and I absolutely agree most of your audience are mature and understand you have 100% autonomy over your personal life and decisions. I am happy that you are given yourself and your mental health journey a priority, I know I benefited tremendously when I made that decision.

Keep your mental health secure ,safe and always be proud of yourself. Stay strong my dear.

I missed watching you. As hard as it seems, there will be better days. Just talk, let it all out. You are making a lot of people happy. Believe it. Lots of love.

I specifically saved this vlog for Thanksgiving since it's the day I'm devoting to full self care. Thank you for being so honest and transparent about the changes you are navigating. I recently got out of a long term relationship and moved into a new apartment. Seeing you prioritize your well being has been a needed dose of inspiration to me! So excited for your future vlogs and sending you lots of love! xx

Having your own place, and decorating it yourself is the best therapy. Hope you enjoy living in your new place, Brittany! :)

Sending my love to you and Dean in these hellish times and wishing you both peace and happiness, whatever your journey ahead may be xx

I admire your honesty and vulnerability and wish you the best on your journey.

Brittany, please know how much your candour is appreciated and that your respect for your viewers is returned to you tenfold. Sending you love from Canada. Continue to push forward, you've got this!

Never left comments here, just simply wish you the best, thank you for your honesty. This place is so special and brings me happiness weekly by your vlog. Appreciate your talent. ❤️

Going through something similar. Thank you for sharing, it helps. Will be fun to follow you in this new chapter. Sending love to you and Dean

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear this Brittany. Also; I do think you know yourself better than you think by pointing out what you need at this moment. ❤️ Big virtual hug

I was so happy when I saw that you've uploaded, your content is really the best on youtube. I started following you in back March and you've been my best companion through this very strange year. I'm sorry that you are going through a difficult time and I wish you all the best and hope that everything will turn out as good as they can.

Lockdown has made me so minimal I haven't worn earrings since March. I'm sure my ear lobes won't thank me when I try to wear some again. (Wishing you the best and I hope you know what a breath of fresh air you are on this platform)

Turn that sofa around to face the windows from the other side of the coffee table, give yourself that nice spot to sit and enjoy the view of the world outside, Brittany 😘 Everything will be ok, thank you for being so open and vulnerable with us on here 💜 Sending you a warm hug xx PS. That clip at the end of you and Dean made me smile...

Thank you for sharing what's going on, for the trust in your audience, for being brave, for your content, for everything. And, in our way, we're all here for you.

The fact that you give strangers like us peace by just enjoying your content, I pray that you only find peace and blessings. x

what a lovely ending! so much respect to you for the way you spoke about things and asked for respect and boundaries. on another note your hair is looking lovely! I've noticed in recent weeks its looking more voluminous and the way the blonde is growing out really suits you. have a lovely week

I love thé silent patient too . Thanks for this great video .

Sending lots of love. Well done on facing what you feel has been suppressed for so long. You are wonderful ⭐️

Sending love and strength during these turbulent times, Brittany

Thank you for trusting us Brittany. Agree with other comments thanking you for your vulnerability. Wishing you and Dean all the best 🧡

The new place is very pretty. Can’t wait for all the decorating bits. 2020 has been a good time for evaluating life and correcting what’s gone amiss. Enjoy the journey! Love everything you go, so honest and peaceful!

Gosh, firstly sending you a huge hug. To make that step takes such courage and bravery, I wish you both the very best. Your life is private. I want you to know that the content you posted during the first lockdown helped me so much, the atmosphere you create is healing xx

You're extremely brave and strong for even doing this first part of the vlog. Hope you know how great your content is, how interesting your videos are in general and how much wonderful energy you put out by doing the things you do! Sending all the love!

Thank you so much for sharing your story. I have been following your channel for awhile now as I really like your style. I really appreciate your honesty and your courage to share your vulnerability. I send you only pure and strong energies and big love!

Your honesty continues to inspire me. I wish you all the peace and clarity and joy that you can find. ❤

"However, I had... a curry." I just spat my tea out! So funny how you declared that. Best of luck in your new place, it looks like a beautiful building.

An idea for the shelves could be instead of having one entire shelf crammed full of books, you could space all of the books out across several shelves and use pretty bookends and vases etc to pad each shelf out! It could also help the shelves look less busy and stop the wood bowing underneath the weight of them ❤️ PS. Wishing you all of the worlds happiness and healing for this period. May it lead to boundless love for yourself and your life.

I’m so happy you are back. Just want to say how sorry I am for what you are going through. Sending you a big hug.

Hello Brittany, just wanted to say I wish you the very best over this next stretch of your life. You seem like a very capable, compassionate person and I can see you building something really new and special for yourself. Warm wishes ❤️

Thanks for your realism and optimism Brittney. Your vlogs truely are a blessing

Brittany, you’ve been such a rock this year. You’re my favorite video of the week, and I’ve loved how open and honest your pandemic content has been. It’s been such a balm for me that someone else is going through it too, a world away. Thanks for sharing and best of luck as you move forward.

sending so much love and many virtual hugs

50 minutes just disappeared while watching this - your content always puts me at ease and I really find everything you do and say really inspiring, thank you for sharing something so personal with us ❤️

Thank you for sharing such intimate thoughts and vulnerable side with us. You are amazing and I hope you are feeling better everyday. Your videos bring me serenity. ❤️

My first full video of yours and boy am I grateful -- thank you! Sending you love and light x

I mmhmmmmmm'ed through the whole intro! Also ended a 6 year relationship during hard lockdown in Melb and I FEEL YOU

Thank you Brittany for being so honest, and vulnerable. I am looking forward to seeing what the future holds for you, I’m excited to witness it all. Stay strong, I hope you keep vlogging!

Hi Brittany, I appreciate your honesty and - not sure if this is the right word - dignity in sharing this. You seem like such a kind and considerate person and I honestly wish you all the best. Also, fully agree with your book review, it's really interesting to hear your perspective and it resonated a lot with me. Thank you for sharing this video.

I only found your channel recently and have really been enjoying watching your videos, they are so positive and calming. I'm sending lots of love to you for this new chapter in your life. And I think I'm going to spend the rest of my weekend watching all your videos from the very first one on :D

Thank you for sharing and being honest. It must have been difficult to be so open and share online. Thoroughly enjoyed the vlog. Sending you strength through this difficult moment in your life and cheers to a new chapter

It's so tough as it is given the times that we're in but to be also sharing this with the internet. Just want to know you're not alone, sending you so much love and strength Brittany.

I don't know you personally but feel for you. It's such a brave move, but one you both needed. wishing both you and Dean inner peace, health and happiness. Cheers to finding out who you are as an individual xx

Thank you for opening up and sharing. Keep believing in yourself and moving forward ❤

Just want to say that this was just what I needed and I'm so appreciative that despite this tough time you're going through you're still able to communicate it beautifully and create such calming and inspiring content that lift people's spirit up. Whatever you do, I'm rooting. for you!

Missed your vlogs a great deal, happy you are back now but definitely take as much time as you need to figure things out if it feels daunting at times. Sending you and Dean some positivity and strength to make the right decision!

I DIED. Sending you the best vibes possible. We love you and take your time. We will always wait for you 💓

Brittany, sending comfort and light your way, that your new space begins to feels meaningful in unexpected ways. You have been a much needed friend in this lonely time, and I thank you for your vulnerability and honestly. I hope clarity and rest follow this rather untethered season. Much love

Wishing only the best for you and Dean moving forward. Take care of yourself Brittany!x

It takes a lot of courage to admit when things aren't right - it's even harder to action those thoughts and jump into the unknown. This is going to be the most amazing time for you - to grow, heal, learn about yourself and begin something new. To break up amicably with no malice, after such a long time together is the most beautiful thing. This will sound odd; but I am really happy for you - and excited for the path ahead x

Thanks for sharing. Here to wish you lots of luck, as you settle into a new routine, and I think your new digs are just lovely.

Wonderful to see your face again Brittany! I'm glad you took the time that you needed away from the internet. I love your taste in interiors so I'm definitely excited to see how you style your new surroundings. Bookshop.org is a great alternative to amazon book shopping at the moment. Loads of great indie bookshops have their virtual shop fronts and they've created categories to browse like 'bookseller favourites.' Quite a decent percentage goes to supporting the indie bookshops themselves so it's a great way to help them out during lockdown. Do you have a favourite novel?

I love watching your vlogs Brittany. I don't think I've ever commented on them but just wanted to say thanks for being so honest and vulnerable (you didn't have to). I'm sure everything will work out in end!

Brittany, I have so much respect for you and the way you are able to be vulnerable and open whilst also setting boundaries and protecting your own privacy and emotions. It takes a lot of strength to be so secure in your decisions, and your confidence and poise are inspiring! I truly wish you the best on your new journey and I can't wait to see what amazing things you do (it may be difficult to look too far into the future right now, but I have no doubt you'll accomplish so much in this new stage of your life). I've been watching your vlogs throughout the entire pandemic and although I've never met you in person, I feel like I've come to know you in some small way through your content. Toronto is heading into a second lockdown as well and your videos are providing me with some much needed solace :). Thank you for creating such beautiful content for us!

Sending love. I am totally confident you and Dean both will find your paths, and forever cherish the very special relationship you had for so long. Wishing you both the best. ❤

Moved by your honesty, vulnerability and bravery. Excited for your next chapter 🤍

🤗 relationships are hard work, we are all hard work in our little ways and we change over time! Take care, take the time you need and we will still be here with you. ❤️

AAAAHHH I can't begin to tell you how much I've missed your vlog. I hope Dean and you have been keeping well with everything that's going around. Your vlogs are so peaceful I love rewatching them ((":

So, how at the end you were taking a bath, watching something on your laptop. Well. This was just me now, watching your blog. As always, piece of art. Looking forward to following you in your new chapter :) xx

I’ve never commented, but I’ve been rewatching old vlogs of yours and just want to say I admire your strength. Best of luck to you in this new chapter. Excited to see your continued growth.

thoroughly enjoyed this vlog, it was so peaceful. I love your new space and you have this sense of tranquility, hope you’re ok. thank you for still going with the vlogs despite everything it’s most appreciated. keep well ❤️

Fresh video backgrounds are always exciting! xx

Brittany, you are true class and I'm so happy you've decided to vlog again. Best wishes for your further process. x

Thank you so much for your honesty. Missed you these weeks! loved to see you back. Your appartment looks really nice, hope you find joy in decorating and reading! Best wishes

Thank you so much for your honesty! I think this is so great from you, cause social media is making people feeling bad, leaving also the feeling, that the life of non social media people is unperfect, not great. Therefore, thank you. you are not alone, we are all struggling with something. To talk about these issues is so so so important in order to solve them. I was with my ex boyfriend also 10 years, splitting up was heard af, but it was the right thing. Relationships change and evolve, people also do so. I rather cherish the time we had. Cause is was awesome, but them something new was meant to be. Also I myself evolved and grew so so much, hence this was one of the best decisions I made, at the same time the hardest.

I went for a run today, for the first time since summer, and as I was taking my running shoes off after the run, I discovered a £5 bill in one of my shoes. Do not recall placing it there. I hope you find your pouch soon

You are cared for, valued, and inspiring. Thanks for sharing your journey.

Thank you for your openness. What a brave thing to do! I hope this will bring you more peace and joy in the long run❣️
