Hi! I'm Olive. I make Booktube videos, but I'm also a freelance book reviewer. I write for a handful of venues on a regular basis. These are the things I keep in my bag!

Oh I LOVE what's in my bag videos! We need to revive this trend - especially for the bookish bags. Your bag is beautiful.

@abookolive 2 года назад

Thank you - and I agree! I love to peek inside other people's bags 👀

@MaryE171 2 года назад

I still love these kinds of videos, and I loved all the context you added for each item you carry. Super interesting, and a gorgeous bag!

@heth300 2 года назад

I always enjoy watching 'What's in my bag' videos'. The little first-aid kit tin is a really good idea and it's cute.

@PageTurnersWithKatja 2 года назад

Love the bag, and you have a fair few things I've never heard of before 😮

@alexcerra5892 Год назад

After watching this video, I found myself doing a google search to find out what being a book reviewer takes in terms of education and how to do it. I’d love to see a video about what led you to your job and what it takes to do that full time.

@lindaharrison3240 2 года назад

Congratulations on your new very cool bag. Love your Decomposition notebook. I have one of those. So subversive 😛 I like the name a lot. Makeup looks great!

@GloriaZThompson 2 года назад

I love this! Especially your survival pocket of all the necessities. I have basically the same thing, but keep it in my car. Also the bag is stunning, what a lovely find!

@myrarucker7953 2 года назад

After shock blue tooth ear phones are amazing!! Amazon sells them. I have air pods too. But the shocks are soooooo portable and they sit in front of your ear against the bone. You can hear what’s going on or turn it up !! I paid $159 comes with charge cord and case. I wear mine around my neck and raise them up when I want them. Super light and comfortable. Love them.

@audreycaldeira-hankey2951 17 дней назад

Thanks for a very helpful video. I love the bag. What is the make/ model of your bag? Love the idea of carrying a portable straw, and meds kit. I also like that you dont overstuff your bag. Happy book reviewing. 😂😂

@dianewalker9154 2 года назад

Everything you have is very practical for your lifestyle. Great video.

@andreadodson2817 2 года назад

I love this, and I love that bag.. I'm the same way about keeping stuff until it falls apart, also a child of single parent. My mom's favorite phrase was "If you take care of things, you'll have them a long time." So I just keep things.

@heysara910 2 года назад

If you think the pop sockets are great, wait until you try a Loopy Case. I thought it was a little goofy and WAY too expensive but I can never go back now. I always have 100 things in my hands and being able to loop my phone on one finger is very helpful! I'm a write-it-down kind of gal also. People love to make fun of my paper planner but it is my actual brain, and I love it! Also, wow. I have amblyopia and I'm wondering if the reading glasses can help me, thank you!

I had never heard of what's in my bag videos, but they seem interesting and fun🥰

@Yesica1993 2 года назад

Also, that bag is gorgeous! Working PT as I've been for years, I understand the financial aspect. I'm glad you were in a position to get it. It's something practical that you daily use and it looks like it will serve you well for years to come.

@abookolive 2 года назад

That's exactly what I thought! I'm not normally one for "splurging" (though the price of this bag was actually reasonable since it was on sale), but for something I'll be carrying for years to come, it was worth it, I think.

@vcackermanwrites 2 года назад

That is a beautiful bag! Also this was very eye opening for what you need when being a book reviewer.

@theesilverghost 2 года назад

I absolutely love your take on this, and it was fascinating to see what you carry. I legitimately cackled at the statement about needing GPS in Pittsburgh regardless of how long you have lived here. So true! And even then, GPS has failed me from time to time.

Definitely give it a try!

I have the same thing with my eyes. I use progressive lenses and it has really made a difference. Like you I have a low reading prescription that hasn’t changed since I started using the progressive lenses over 15 years or so ago. It is nice to hear someone else has the same issues

@abookolive 2 года назад

It's apparently very common in people who do a lot of "up close" work (like computer work, reading, etc).

@thiadesg 2 года назад

Earlier this summer, I bought a new backpack that I'm using as a purse and I love it so much. I should get a first-aid kit in mine, I have thin skin and any little bump makes me bleed!

@abookolive 2 года назад

Sounds like that little kit would be a godsend for you! I'm burn-prone myself (since I do so much cooking), but that mainly happens at home so I don't have to carry around burn cream lol

@catsandbats77 2 года назад

I wonder if I developed an allergy to the Optifree solution. I went from wearing daily contacts to wearing reusable contacts again because my insurance changed and doesn't cover much. I could only wear the contacts one or two times and then they would hurt my eyes. It was SO painful. I changed solution and no more pain.

@AthynVixen 2 года назад

What an amazing eye doctor.. If I'm understanding you correctly, his tip seems to be actually improving your natural eyesight :O This was fun thanks. I'd love to see more people do this crossover.

@abookolive 2 года назад

Yes, exactly - my eyesight is improving based on his recommendation, which is incredible! He's the best.

@whatbringscorinajoy2724 2 года назад

Love this video & loving this bag - Is this the Boxer Bag or Tote? What size? Gorgeous!

@abookolive 2 года назад

It's just called a "handle bag" on the site - it's not designed to go over a shoulder which is a little disappointing, but I adore everything else about it!

@hopenparker 2 года назад

Yep, I thought my eye Dr was insane when he told me the same thing about wearing reading glasses with contacts

@abookolive 2 года назад

It really works! I'm glad there are other eye doctors other than my own that are spreading the word about it.

@Yesica1993 2 года назад

Ha ha, I have spent WAY too much time watching, "What's in my bag/backpack", videos. I've never understood why it's a thing. But I'm glad I'm not alone in enjoying them. It was good to see one from a Booktuber. Sort of a crossover! I'm glad the Fire works for you. It didn't work for me. It felt like stabbing pains in my eyes. I really didn't even use it that much. Hm, I wonder if mine had a dark mode and I didn't even know! Maybe that would have made a difference. Anyway, I ended up giving it to someone and eventually got the Paperwhite. That one gives me no pain and I am so thankful. Wow, I have never heard of wearing glasses while wearing contacts! I'm horribly nearsighted so I've worn glasses since maybe 6th-7th grade. Contacts changed my life even more. Unfortunately, since I lost my FT job 10+ (!!!) years ago, I've not been able to afford contacts. I've also struggled with severely dry eyes as well, so who knows if contacts would even be an option for me anymore. Thanks for the heads up. That was totally new information for me.

@abookolive 2 года назад

So sorry the Fire didn't end up working for you! It seems like there's some trial and error involved in finding the right ereader for you...

@launchedathousand 2 года назад

I may need to grab a little Ibuprofen container. OOH I've never heard of the those patches before, I also am always red after alcohol or exercise.

@abookolive 2 года назад

I don't think the redee patches help with redness after exercise, but redness with alcohol, they're likely to help! Just a heads up, they smell strongly of vitamins. It's not a *bad* smell, just a very distinguishable, chalky smell.

@makeupcrazee87 10 месяцев назад

How does one get started freelancing? I’m really interested in becoming one, just don’t know where to start.

@abookolive 10 месяцев назад

You need to write for venues for free for some time to build up a portfolio before pitching to editors.

@someonerandom8552 2 года назад

Haha your bag is full of awesomeness! But how do you have long nails and wear contacts? Like I know it’s possible but my optometrist was relieved to know that my work requires my nails to be kept short for safety reasons lol

@abookolive 2 года назад

I use the sides of my fingers! Just takes some getting used to.

I've always had long nails and I wear contacts. I agree with Olive. I use the sides of my fingers.

I didn’t know that you are a WNBA fan! I’m a Chicago Sky season ticket holder so you can’t tell me nothing this season. 😎🤣 Who’s your team?

@abookolive 2 года назад

I'm so jealous of your season tickets!! I went to see my first WNBA game when I was briefly in Chicago in June and had THE TIME OF MY LIFE. I wish I could go to every game! I love the Sky (watching the game right now!), but I'm also a big Mystics fan.
