A Festive Few Days at Home & setting up my planner🎄

[@ArtsyDaffy10]

I tend to get so overstimulated these days as I’ve got quite a lot of responsibilities at the moment. Ruby, I just want to thank you for the comfort you give me from your videos, they’re so calm and positively slow that i just can’t help but be relaxed and motivated at the same time when I watch you. You are the KZbinr I always go back to, Thank you so much!

[@paulac.munoztorres]

I am feeling the same way, with my final paper for med school and the prep for my army test. This is so calming and feelgood.

[@themoores9817]

I feel the same - studying for a degree while renovating my home single handed and caring for my terminally ill husband and my dog is having seizures (she’s 16) rubys channel gives me time out from my hard, long days

[@mailauritsen4968]

Ruby you are the sweetest! Don't be embarresed. You are a lovely dancer, and of course you have not done it that much, so of course no one expects you to be absolutely fantastic at it. We all know that. We are not talented at it ourselves unless we really have practiced it. You are such a sweet heart. :) Keep doing what you love, no matter what!

[@aynapaisley]

I picked up dancing instead of my regular yoga/pilates routine, that became quite boring and tedious for me. I'm pretty bad at dancing, mixing up all the moves, but I'm having so much fun and I literally feel new neurone connections forming while I'm doing something totally out of character for me. It's so important to keep learning so you and your brain don't get rigid. So yes, you're absolutely right, there's no shame in being bad at something you just picked up 🤗💙

[@leilatou1904]

After years of following you, I finally asked my boyfriend to buy me your planner as a Christmas gift! You have no idea how excited I am to receive it ❤️

[@limeparticle]

I wish I was as productive as you! Reading half a book, journaling, studying philosophy, writing two poems, writing for three hours and going on a walk, all before lunch! 🥰 How are you so efficient?

[@ellie9380]

I am so sick and also trying to finish my college applications, and this helped me so much to be motivated and also to romanticize my life right now as much as possible. Thank you

[@Forest.Dweller]

So excited for winter vlogs! Also It’s been so long since you’ve done a Victorian video!

Me too! And I know! One of my goals for the new year is to make them at least once a month :) x

[@Xoximilco777]

I've been following Ruby for a while now and I, too, always come back to her. She's the first vlogger I've followed and the most consistently charming and inspiring. I have learned a lot from such a young person! And she inspires me to read more! xo

[@paulac.munoztorres]

Whenever i want ro feel festive and Christmas spirit i come to watch one of your videos. They’re a little cheerful, cozy corner on the internet for a cold and busy day.

[@RubyGranger8]

Ahh this is so lovely to hear!

[@actuallyjusthanne]

I ordered the yearly planner this year after bullet journaling for 7+ years and I am so excited! The reason I started bullet journaling was so that I could have spreads & pages that aren't usually in planners, but I've been getting burnt out bullet journaling. I am so glad to have found a planner that has all the pages/space I need that is premade: it looks PERFECT and I am more excited about planning than I've been in years!

[@danielbautista7]

Love it when you open up about the cool stuff you're learning in your free time. Gotta find some time over the weekend to read more about retrocausality too :D

Even though I don't know how to appreciate poetry, I do really love the vibe of this video! =D

[@bluegirl4079]

Such an excellent planner. It is the first planner I've seen that is so comprehensive. Most are just the who, what, where, when things. This is reflective with a creative flow and allows for streamlining for a truly personal organizational aide. So many great ideas.

[@stess78]

I enjoy your videos, Ruby. They are so awesome, cosy, kind, wonderful... I also like reading books, listening classical music and I adore tea. I'd like to speak English, read English books. I really love culture of my country but also I love English culture too. So I learn English. Thanks a lot for your amazing videos. You are so positive, clever and hard-working person.

My favourite kind of videos; perfect for a cosy evening with a cup of tea! I have been slowly getting excited about the festive season over the past few days - baking Christmas biscuits with friends, listening to Christmas music and seeing lights shine in the streets - which has been so lovely as I have in the past found it too early to be festive at this time! Hope you have a lovely week! ❤️🎄

[@bekah2790]

I have been looking forward to your festive vlogs Ruby! They are definitely helping me get through my deadlines :)

[@aylendorado927]

I love the exquisit english ambience in your videos

[@Bibi-do8tc]

Hi Ruby, I have your academic planner laying around for which I was super excited especially as an international. Sadly I find myself not even picking it up due to it not having a week overview but rather 2/4 days at a time combined without a hard cover. If you ever decide to alter this I would love to see it!

[@RubyGranger8]

Hello! So we do have weekly and monthly planning spreads in the new planner - but I’m so sorry to hear you didn’t end up using your planner :( send me an email at [e-mail], and I can send you the weekly planning printable so you can maybe just use your academic planner this year with the wrong dates? It seems a shame for it to go to waste! 💗

Hi Ruby, it looks as though the underline on the front cover of the planner hasn’t been adjusted from your template for the 2022/23 academic planner design! Hopefully you can still catch this before they’re produced (or maybe you just have a proof copy and it’s already been fixed!)

[@sharonfischer7767]

Hi. I enjoy your blogs (well some of the). As a Massachusetts resident it was fun to see your visit here. I would find it interesting if you would consider sharing how you attract these and other opportunities. I believe to some extent we all make our own luck. I also know that some feel they have to guard this information because they might lose something by doing so. I hope you are not one of those. Sharing can create abundance. You are unique and so are each of us. The pie is big enough.

Thank you for a refreshing cozy video, i needed to clear my mind up! Also thanks for the movie recommendation, i had no ides there was a new matilda!

I'm ready for season 2 of Wednesday to be released on Netflix. I mostly watch movies, but that's one show I do love watching. Thank you for keeping me motivated in my college career. I'm 38 years old & finally making it to college for an associate degree in Radiology. Never to late right? My kids kept telling me I needed to follow my dreams like I've been teaching them to do. So I have 1 more class to take before I can enter the program next spring. So there's going to be a few filler classes but that just gets my grade point average (GPA) up. Love your vlogs.

Ruby, you need to burn a candle until it is fully melted to the edges. This way, it will not tunnel and you won't waste half of the.candle. Also, before you light it again, please trim the wick to 5 mm, so that it burns without smoking. Xx

[@itsacarolbthing5221]

Btw, a large jar candle will take around three hours and to melt to the sides. A small jar will be about one and a half. These times are based on Yankee Candles, so that will give you an idea of sizes and times. Xx

[@RubyGranger8]

Amazing advice! Thank you!!!

[@itsacarolbthing5221]

@@RubyGranger8 you're very welcome. Cut the wick to around 3 to 5 mm before lighting. It will result in less smoking and a smoother burn. Xx

Ruby, See "Landmarks of Literary England" by Lea A. Borah and Kathleen Revis in The National Geographhic Magazine, Washington DC, September 1955 pages 295 to 350.
