Elevate your everyday with long-lasting jewelry you'll love at prices you'll love even more: shop.analuisa.com/wp-elizabetht And save 20% when you use my code: ELIZABETHT20 ❤ Would you want to be the steward of your own little free library? 📚👀

@serenity8910 11 месяцев назад

I also shower with my Ana Luisa earrings and I would say that the gold pieces definitely fade with time. Quite a bummer but you can use a polishing cloth to polish the jewelry and they become silver instead which is better than a faded gold!

@trisanger8104 11 месяцев назад

This makes me so excited! My neighbor built one in front of our houses a couple years ago and my intake of books has gone way up! Such a wonderful way of providing a circular economy for a community❤📚

@PlantBasedBride 11 месяцев назад

So true! I’m really excited to keep putting more books I love in there and seeing what books others are donating, too ❤️

@msellenandrea 11 месяцев назад

Little free libraries are amazing! Here in Norway they have converted almost every single disused phone booth into a free library, which I think is amazing! There are even some in quite small places, like my moms tiny village. I love contributing to them and also having a browse :)

@PlantBasedBride 11 месяцев назад

I love that so much! I wish there were more in my town (mine is only the second) 😅 im thinking of reaching out to local schools/businesses/organizations to encourage them to join in with their own LFLs!

@ryan61384 11 месяцев назад

They are also using the red phone booths in the UK as libraries.

@itsa_peanut 11 месяцев назад

This is so fun! I think having the inserts for every book will be exhausting, and it might be more of a personal touch to just include them on your own books (plus it might encourage people to add their own variations of book marks and reviews rather than relying on yours!)

@XxunforgottenxXxlove 11 месяцев назад

Love that you did this. Whenever I can finally afford house, I really want to do this too. Maybe in the future you can do an update video on the library and show what people have put in??

@PlantBasedBride 11 месяцев назад

That would be so fun! I’d love to do an update at some point ❤️

@ryan61384 11 месяцев назад

If you are currently renting you can install a library in our front yard by planting one in a giant flower pot. Then when you move into your own house you can take the library there and replant it.

@jordanrow7835 11 месяцев назад

please update us on how people use it and how you rotate your collection. I wanna see your journey as a new librarian!

@PlantBasedBride 11 месяцев назад

I love that idea! I can definitely update y’all after a while ❤️

@ryan61384 11 месяцев назад

I am also a LFL Steward. I built my library from a used kitchen cabinet that I bought from the Habitat For Humanity Restore. All I had to do was build a roof for it and add a window in the door. As for your question about stamping books I stamp all of the books that show up in my library to try and keep them from being sold in the future.

@trisanger8104 11 месяцев назад

Also- a lot of our little libraries take nonperishable food/school supply donations for people who need them which I think is really beautiful

@PlantBasedBride 11 месяцев назад

That’s a great idea! I’ll have to talk to some local organizations about what they need ❤️

@saziwald4490 11 месяцев назад

We are so inspired! I think I’m going to make a little little free library and a big little free library for the kiddos and the teens and adults!!

@PlantBasedBride 11 месяцев назад

I love that! I definitely need to get more kids books to put in there ❤️

@ambargonzalez8862 11 месяцев назад

Oh my God! I love this concept! Please share the progress of the Little Free Library with us! Donations, additions and what you see is the genre most people on your neighborhood gravitate towards… of course… in a non creepy way 😂😂❤

@katelynnclough 2 месяца назад

I am obsessed with the personalization you did for the books and the care and extra mile you did for them! This creates such a unique experience that makes it memorable!

@nicoletartaglia 11 месяцев назад

This is so fantastic!! There are a bunch of these in my neighborhood and I always love looking through them when I'm on a walk. So excited for you guys!!

@PlantBasedBride 11 месяцев назад

Aw thank you! We're only the second little library in town but hopefully more will pop up over time. I've been thinking of reaching out to some local organizations to let them know about the program, too ❤

@ryan61384 11 месяцев назад

Also you can put other things in the library like magazines, puzzles, card games, CD's, DVD's and Calendars.

@Kindlelover88 9 месяцев назад

I think the little stickers and information card in the inside is amazing. I think you should do it for any books that you get whether you buy them from library sale or Neighbor donate some if you’ve read the book or know anything about it, put it in more information is helpful than none. Good luck. I’m so excited for you.

@Geistermoor 11 месяцев назад

Last year, as we renovated our house, we sorted a lot of books out to donate. But the library in our hometown couldn't take all of them and so we installed a pretty improvised "bookshop" in form of a shelf at our terasse. Everyone was free to take a book or more. And in a few days a lot of the books were gone and sometimes the people left little gifts for us or brought some books. It was never planed, but so wonderful to see. And we came in touch with so many people in this time. I might build my own little library in the future. This experience was amazing. And I love your little library! And I think you should give all the books one of the adorable little library cards - they are wonderful. I love your dedication to details.

@PlantBasedBride 11 месяцев назад

That sounds amazing! It’s lovely to be reminded how kind and reciprocal people can be ❤️ And thank you! 🥹❤️❤️

@clairechcohen 11 месяцев назад

Emboss them all but leave the notes for your own books, maybe people who donate will have their own messages for readers. Great idea, love seeing your projects come to life :)

@takewhisks8193 11 месяцев назад

This is also my dream! So cute and satisfying! Something that might help you with the used book buying is library sales. Our local has 2 per year of donations collected throughout the year and there's always great things (lots in perfect condition) for cheap and you support the library programs ❤ great job guys it's lovely

@PlantBasedBride 11 месяцев назад

That's such a great idea! I'll have to ask one of the librarians about it next time I visit the local library ❤

@BookishPlans 11 месяцев назад

I love this! I frequently add books to LFL’s in my area. Since there are currently SO many book bans being presented to the schools here, I’ve changed my book donation to banned books. So, while you don’t necessarily read kids books, adding a few kids books that are ruffling feathers may be a good add to your LFL too.

@isisx2015 11 месяцев назад

I once had a lovely conversation with the owner of my favorite little free library near me. She was obviously a fan of one of my favorite series, Terry Pratchett's Discworld, because copies would show up in there. One day she came out while I was looking through her library and I told her why hers was my favorite. It was the first time I'd ever talked in person with someone about this series I've loved since I was a teenager. It was a very rewarding experience. ❤️📚

@shellkay 11 месяцев назад

I’m sure this will bring so much joy to many readers & readers-to-be! What a gift to share. I love using the app to find LFLs in new areas as well as adding to my local ones. Congrats on becoming a literacy steward!

@PlantBasedBride 11 месяцев назад

Thanks so much! I can’t wait to learn my area’s reading preferences so I can tailor the book selection even more ❤️

@dyl4399 11 месяцев назад

If I was perusing your little free library and came across the sticker + embossed page, I'd be so excited! I think it's a lovely idea. I adore this program and hope to be a free little library steward one day! 📚

@PlantBasedBride 11 месяцев назад

Aw, thank you! ❤️❤️ I hope you get to be a steward some day, too!

@JuniperPineJournals 11 месяцев назад

Love it!! A little free library went up in our neighbourhood a few weeks ago and we were so pumped!

@casper4496 11 месяцев назад

This is so amazing! Can imagine it would be a really magical thing to spot as a child as well! I love the personal touch of the inserts and the idea of being able to trace a book's journey around the community.

@Katiedora122 11 месяцев назад

This is so cute! At my last apartment, there was a Little Free Library next door that we made a lot of use of! I don't think the neighbors did much to maintain the box itself (the side wall was knocked off more than once), but my roommates and I all worked in book-related jobs at the time, so we were constantly scoping it out and adding books that we were done with. And then we would just put an overflow box on our front lawn for people to take, but I really want to open one of my own someday! 📚

@amara560 11 месяцев назад

This is so exciting! I hope lots of people get to enjoy the wonderful stories you want to share 📚 🐛

@june8591 11 месяцев назад

📖 so cute ! We have them here as well, but somehow i always assumed people don't really take books from there. Would be really cool to see an update in a little bit on whether people use it a lot and how it's going. Definitely such a cool project!

@SandiTerps 11 месяцев назад

The Little Free Library started in my state (Wisconsin) not just THE States. I’m very proud of it. We’ve had them from the inception. My little village has three of them! And they are loved.

@afinch1608 11 месяцев назад

On Wisconsin!

@maevajesse 11 месяцев назад

I have been following you for a few weeks now, thank you RU-vid for the suggestion of your channel, and this is my first comment, but I so love the idea and I love this kind of little free libraries, unfortunately back in Paris suburb where I lived until two years ago, people are not respectful and some were damaged or even burned. I cannot even process the fact that someone would do that… I adore the concept of the little free libraries and oh my gosh I love that you bought those library cards, now that a lot of things are digital I miss some random things like these library cards that would be filled out when you would borrow a book! 📚

@PlantBasedBride 11 месяцев назад

That’s so sad 😔 I hope you can have one someday ❤️

@dawnbish9822 11 месяцев назад

I have always wanted a little free library. Maybe you have motivated me to do this for my neighborhood. Thanks for sharing!!

@PlantBasedBride 11 месяцев назад

You totally should! It’s such a lovely way to engage with and support your community ❤️

@hanslim4031 10 месяцев назад

Can’t wait for an update! I sincerely hope that the books and library is well treated by others.

@citruslimonia 11 месяцев назад

I didn't know about little free libraries, that's an amazing idea, yours turned out so pretty! Your love for reading and books is so inspiring to me

@malinf6654 9 месяцев назад

You could either put the info stickers in all the books but let the reader who borrowed the book fill it out. Or you could put the stickers in a box with an example how to fill it out and let the community decide if they want to contribute and help you and other readers with deciding if they want to borrow the book or not, with putting the stickers in the book. Hope I made sense. Good luck and thanks for putting a huge smile on my face. ❤

@1nd1v 4 месяца назад

That was amazing! I wish little free libraries were a thing in my country or in my town. I think it's a wonderful way to promote reading and to share with everyone else.

@CharlieCatHimself13 11 месяцев назад

In Germany we also have free little librabries in many many towns. They stand in public places, for example market places and everyone has access to them. I myself have allready donated a few books for those libraries. But now, watching your video… I think about building such a library too once I own my own house.

@ryan61384 11 месяцев назад

You can always plant a library in a giant pot and when you move you can take your library with you to your new house.

@Elyawildflower 10 месяцев назад

I love that you put the trigger warnings in the books ❤️📚

@reneeelich4893 11 месяцев назад

That is amazing! I love little free libraries. I would at least stamp them even if the books didn't come from you with your library info. Granted I live in a big city, but the ones around here that don't stamp have people driving up and emptying them to sell them. Since a few started, they now are usually stocked! I hope we get updates, I always love seeing what's inside!

@abetterlife3188 11 месяцев назад

since you are adding the information about books from your own perspective, maybe you can ask other donors to be kind enough to take the time and fill out your little information stickers, so in this way, each book has an info sticker from its original owner. :)

@PlantBasedBride 11 месяцев назад

I love this idea!

@marjoriedybec3450 11 месяцев назад

That's a very handsome little free library. Bravos. If you can keep up with donations, yes, I think putting your library card and sticker in them is a nice touch. But I don't think you can put in trigger warnings or descriptions on books you haven't read. So you should say "unknown" for those categories. I do think you are likely to receive a lot of anonymous donations, especially if your neighbor talks to other neighbors. Nicely done.

@annae2375 11 месяцев назад

I'm so excited for you and your little free library! You and your husband took such great care in this project and it's so clear it was a labor of love for you both. I actually got a copy of Braiding Sweetgrass from a Little Free Library in my neighborhood and I'm currently reading it! I also agree with another comment that having the inserts be in your own books may encourage others to do the same and put their own spin on it.

@amandapelland 8 месяцев назад

So sweet to build a free library and your neighbour supplying some books of their own. Love this! 📚🌞

@georgialee5032 11 месяцев назад

I work for a house builder in the UK and we try to put these in most developments! So so cute! Some event get local artists to decorate them, they’re gorgeous!

@ryan61384 11 месяцев назад

I saw that in the UK they have been turning your red phone booths into libraries.

@daddysangel327 11 месяцев назад

It's always polite to ask previous owners if they are expecting the books back. If they are, then maybe ask if you can emboss and add a library card. Another thing you can check is maybe research the books at first? What if there were books with certain trigger warnings and yet you haven't read them or know about its contents? It's good to have consistency on the purpose of having the library ❤

@CreativeDesignbyJessica 7 месяцев назад

Yes add the free library info on ALL books as they donate. TFS Be Blessed.📚

@bonnierosendale 11 месяцев назад

This is so cool! Good for y'all! Once a book is donated, it is the "property" of the library. You, as the steward, can do whatever you want with it. At least that is how I see it. The information you add to the inside cover is for the reader, not the donor. If I am trying to decide on a book, I appreciate all the information I can get on it. You don't have to complete the info, and maybe ask your borrowers if they would write out on a separate piece of paper what they thought of the book? 📖

@jenniferglover6417 11 месяцев назад

Oh my gosh!!! What a great idea, and to actually follow through with it! How generous with sharing your time and books. You will have to update from time to time so we can hear how it is working out! I hope it might start a chain reaction in your commumity!

@debra9916 11 месяцев назад

There is a Little Library in my neighborhood. It is very rewarding for me, even though I am not the builder, to see books that I donate gone within a few days. Congratulations on completing this lovely goal.

@Ahonui77 11 месяцев назад

So fun to see this come to life! ❤

@angieconley6501 11 месяцев назад

You should do a second one with canned food and toiletries as a Little Free Pantry and check with your local Habitat for Humanity because they always sell stuff that they have left over from one home to help fund the next home. You can get wood, screws, nails, windows, etc… You get the idea. 😊

@angieconley6501 11 месяцев назад

📚 📕 📖

@ryan61384 11 месяцев назад

That is where my LFL came from. I made mine from a used kitchen cabinet I bought there.

@PhilippeTuinman 11 месяцев назад

Oeh this is so fun!! Maybe I want to set this up for my appartment building 😁 Please keep us updated how it goes! Maybe an update video in a month’s time? 😉

@kantui525 23 дня назад

I would love a 1-year update on your library. What have you learned? How is it going? What books does it contain now?

@SandiTerps 11 месяцев назад

The non-profit is now based out of Minnesota but they started in Hudson, Wisconsin. Just FYI. We’re kind of proud of that. (No it was our senator who started Earth Day. Wisconsin used to be pretty progressive!)

@laurianezillou2107 11 месяцев назад

Hello ! It’s thé first time I’m commenting a video 😮 I think it’s a great idea and I love how passionate you are about it. I live in France and I don’t think we have a specific association (and I live in a city) so usually the city or the neighbourhood is managing them. Anyway, I always love them and almost all my novels are gifts, from other people or from these little free library and for a person that doesn’t read a lot it’s more than enough 😊 personally, I love being surprised by a story but I find it sometimes difficult to choose if I don’t know the author so your cards are a great idea. I hope to find one of your books someday, somewhere on earth 🤩☺️

@clarissaraaths469 11 месяцев назад

I would add the embossing and stickers in all of the books going through the little library, but I'd write "Donated by: Johnathan", or something like that. If you don't know who swopped a book there, just write, "Donated by: A Well-Read Neighbor" or some cute variation of that.

@IshysdeArzhyel 11 месяцев назад

I suggest to you that you can put a little instructions inside and a little note with some color coding and petitions for books, so pleople could write "I want to read "blablabla" and them, for example, if another one has that book, they can put a signal on that note following the color code to mark they have it and they will bring it for that person. Let's say pink for example. If I want to read LOTR for example, I write it down in the section inside. And another person passes by and see my note and has the book, so they grab the pink marker (you can leave a set of markers inside for people too) and makes a little pink circle on my note to let me know someone saw it and will bring that book in the future. So I can stay alert for it to appear ^^ I don't know if this makes any sense... but it makes sense to me. Because I saw some of these libraries on many countries but the books in there never said anything to me or grab my attention, but if you can let know people wich books you want to read, people will maybe bring it if they know this.

@purplexzombie3371 11 месяцев назад

Adore the cards!! Super helpful for new readers or folk looking quickly. I am so jelly 🥰

@annms96 11 месяцев назад

Omg this Little free library idea is just amazing! Your community will love your dedication and those details are so cute 🥺🤍 Love this!

@PlantBasedBride 11 месяцев назад

Thank you so much 🥺❤️

@KellyAK 11 месяцев назад

📚 I love this! There one not far from my home and I will often walk past just to see what's new - I have taken to carrying a book in my handbag so I have something to swap if I find something I want in the library ❤

@PlantBasedBride 11 месяцев назад

That’s wonderful 🥰

@colleennewey 11 месяцев назад

This is fascinating! I had always thought of the little free library more as a book exchange instead of an actual library. I’m curious how often books are returned! I thought the etiquette was that when you take a book you put one of your own in to replace it, but you can consider the one you took to be yours. I’ve never used one before, but I’ve just seen that said on other channels!

@PlantBasedBride 11 месяцев назад

The idea is to return the book to a free library (even if it isn’t the same one) or to pass it on to a friend. Keeping it feels counterproductive since that means no one else can read it after! I always returned the books back to the LFL after I read them when I lived in Toronto ❤️ though I don’t expect them all to come back.

@amara560 11 месяцев назад

That's what I thought as well. Take one and leave one. With this idea the selection of books is constantly changing.

@tessamayk 11 месяцев назад

I also thought it was more of an exchange - in fact, on their website they say you don't have to leave that exact book, just bring another one to keep things full and the variety quotient high.

@BakersfieldClogging 11 месяцев назад

That is how I use the libraries- as a book exchange. You want a constant refreshing of books. If it is the same titles on offer each time people won't come back

@AshleyTuckerDesigns 11 месяцев назад

Yeah I am pretty sure they usually work as an exchange. Take a book and leave a different book. I have never heard of bringing books back to the same little library.

@taz2906 11 месяцев назад

Perhaps it could be cool to put the embosser on a string and mail it to the inside of the box so someone can choose to emboss a book that you didn’t put in there.

@PlantBasedBride 11 месяцев назад

Oo that is a cool idea! I’d worry a bit about it being taken/broken as it was pretty pricey but it’s definitely something to consider 🤔

@sharimadison3836 7 месяцев назад

A note saying that if a donator wants it embossed, to leave it at your front door instead would work almost as well, but would eliminate the chance of someone stealing it.@@PlantBasedBride

@queeniesplace3844 9 месяцев назад

this is awesome, i recommend a little shelf on the side to hold books while ppl browse

@crystaldollhouse 11 месяцев назад

I bet curating your little library will be so fun!! You did such a great job. I’ve visited a few little libraries that unfortunately got water inside that caused moldy books so I’m glad yours will be safe

@barefootdaffodil3988 10 месяцев назад

That's quite a tool selection. I think the card and envelope would be good in every book but keeping your detail sticker for what you've personally read. I did have the thought of putting a blank one on those and if someone really wanted to fill it out after reading it they could. But that was just a quick thought I had.

@lydiamodderman 11 месяцев назад

So adorably cute! My village and the ones around have a lot of them, but they've only got Dutch books so I never borrow one (coincidentally enough I now am reading a Dutch book by my favorite Dutch author). I'll also be making a free library for the tiny house neighbourhood my soon-to-be new neighbours and I are building in co-creation with the city's municipality. Cannot wait to make- and fill it ❤

@lyraluthuen 11 месяцев назад

Could you leave a pocket with some extra labels attached to the inside wall of the library and a pin on a string? That way when people bring books they could write their own messages and fill out the info since they'll know the books. I also don't think there's anything wrong with embossing books given by other people at all. I think the idea of marking what books come through is really lovely, and very much in the spirit of the concept.

@gracesarus 11 месяцев назад

Would you ever do a bookshelf tour video? Every time I see a clip of your bookshelf I keep wondering about it because it’s so nice 👀☺️🥰

I’m planning on it because I bought three new bookshelves! Hopefully in august I can share a tour of those new shelves ❤️

@amandawynn1040 11 месяцев назад

I’ve always wanted to do this and one day when I own a home I want to do this specifically with inclusive and diverse children’s and YA books (I used to teach and think fostering a love of reading in kids is so important).

@PlantBasedBride 11 месяцев назад

That sounds so wonderful! I definitely want to add more ya and children’s books ❤️

@ryan61384 11 месяцев назад

You can have one even if you are renting. Just plant one in a giant flower pot then when you move just replant it in the new yard.

@witchymary5246 11 месяцев назад

The reader + builder relationship is truly superior 😂 I had my partner build me a beautiful TBR cart and I'm sure he will be thrilled to build me a little library if we get our property in the future

@ryan61384 11 месяцев назад

You could build one now and plant it in a giant flower pot. Then in the future just replant it in your new yard.

@estherallison8975 11 месяцев назад

I just got back from Switzerland and came across what I suspect was a little free library, but it was bigger than a phone booth! That’s commitment. I took a photo, which sadly I guess I can’t add here. Also in our town, during covid, someone built a pretty big one (about the size of a stove) which is a jigsaw puzzle free library. So good.

@PlantBasedBride 10 месяцев назад

That’s so awesome! I love the idea of a puzzle library, too ❤️

@yariarenas 9 месяцев назад

I love this video! I saw a similar little lend library many years ago and always wanted to have one. Love that you built your own and can't wait to get an update on how it goes 🤩📚💌

@annedixon7609 25 дней назад

Wow you were doing a fabulous job I'm so sorry that I'll never get to see you a little free library in person or be able to take a book from it but many people will enjoy it you're going so beyond what most people do I think it's fabulous and maybe other people will follow your example

@stephfoxeh 10 месяцев назад

omg i love our little free libraries in our town. yours is amazing. i really wanna get some library cards for the books i leave in other people's libraries now. great ideas!!!

@user-Itsme74 11 месяцев назад

I really enjoyed watching your video. What a great idea to share your love for reading with your neighbourhood...📚

@seycamanza2833 11 месяцев назад

I live on a busy street with a fence surrounding the front yard and marking our property line. I have wanted to do this for years but alas…. not good placement for one. We do have several in the neighborhood though. I have thousands of books in the house but when I visit others boxes, they tend to be full of junk books that I don’t think anyone would want. This has motivated me though, perhaps I will start taking obvious duds and replacing them with mine. Then I could donate what I take, although even Goodwill would probably just toss them.

That sounds like an awesome idea! I definitely want to make sure our LFL is full of awesome books ❤️

I have seen some people who have the library inside of the fenced in yard and they have either the library taller than the fence or they shorten the fence right where the library is. That way you can still access it from the sidewalk.

Such an amazing project ! I'd love to hear more about your Little Free Library in the future, know if more books are added and if it works well. Thank you for sharing this great experience with us ❤📚

This is such an exciting and heartwarming update 🥰 there a couple of little free libraries in the neighbourhood I grew up in and I remember begging my parents to alter our route to my dance and swim practices so we could stop by 😂 also voting yes to adding in stickers (at least for the books you've read)!

📖 Best of luck with your library. It looks very inviting.

This is a wonderful idea. And your little library is adorable! I would suggest to keep it uniformed and have that personal touch to include them on the books. You can let people know if they donate to include an index card with that information and then you can place the cards inside.

i love finding these around! i’d love to have one too when we have our forever home 🫶🏼📚

@ryan61384 11 месяцев назад

Why not have one now and put it in a flower pot so it can be moved later.

you could always ask your neighbour if she minds and what her take is about the inside pockets :)

If I were you I would use the embossers on all the new books that arrive in your little free library, but the stickers only on the ones you’ve read (or once it’s done 😉) yourself…!

@PlantBasedBride 11 месяцев назад

I like this idea! ❤️

Add the stickers to everything (at least books you’ve read)! It would be so cute and helpful

Im obsessed with the level of detail you went to with your LFL! Id love to come visit it and drop some goodies off.

Congratulations!! I love seeing these when I'm out and about but admittedly, I need to be careful when passing them because I love books that much.

📚That's such a beautiful idea!! Will the first person looking through your tiny library see you jumping up and down, squealing and clapping, through your window?😄

@PlantBasedBride 11 месяцев назад

Haha yes most likely 😂😅❤️

this entire project is so DARLING i love everything about it!

@roxmdr Месяц назад

I love all the little extras you did, I have been wanting o build one for our neighborhood as well for a while. You have inspired me to jump on it and add the fun cute things to it as well. I think if people donate its totally ok to add the info and library card to it. Also could we get an update on how its going? 📖

@rocio_mb 11 месяцев назад

I love that you are doing this and I love all your levels of excitement!! I hope you let us know how it goes and all, please! The library is so cute and I'm loving the stickers (and I agree with other comments: embossing all, stickers on the books you have read already).

@AJReads854 11 месяцев назад

I have 3 in walking distance of my home, and I know there are more in the neighbourhood. I love dropping off books, but so far I’ve only ever borrowed one. Yours looks lovely.

@PlantBasedBride 11 месяцев назад

Aw thanks! I’m thinking I’ll at least emboss them all (the embosser just arrived in the mail and I keep embossing random pieces of paper because it’s so cool lol) ❤️
