a week in my life as a content creator/digital artist

[@skvllybones]

wake up girlies, our comfort youtuber just posted!!

[@DanikaLeighEllis]

I know your vlogs so often have you dealing with migraines and other chronic illness or mental health difficulties, but I hope you know that even when you're having a hard time, these vlogs are so comforting. Your attitude of being gentle with yourself and having hope that the next day can be better is something I really try to incorporate into my own life. And it's refreshing to watch a vlog that is honest and doesn't hide or edit around the bad days. Having said all that, I better go support you on Patreon now, because I've reminded myself how much I appreciate the work you do! EDIT: I believe I was Patreon 999! Who will be lucky 1,000?

[@julieannelovesbooks]

as a person with chronic illness and migraines I'm glad you include it into your vlogs. It's just the reality of life, and that just sucks sometimes. But it makes me feel very very seen though.

[@maggs6519]

“i know life isn’t all sunshine and rainbows, but i need a little more sunshine.” gurl, not only do I agree lately in my own life but YOUR VIDEOS are that sunshine to me in my life. I’m always rooting for you in the vlogs and to see you struggle with physical and mental health tugs on my heart so much because I know how painful that is for me ❤️ your constant positive attitude despite situations is honestly downright inspiring for me 💕 🌈

[@darklycheerful]

The kids I babysat for years had that exact night light turtle and we used to play a game where we’d take turns angling it around the dark room and everyone had to find the moon. I loved it as much as they did! 🌙

[@hannatebrand9535]

i started watching your videos about a month ago and i have completely fallen in love with the channel (and you)!! so cozy, inspiring, honest, fun, mmmmm. and your book taste is right up my ally. mundanity yes please. so just, a big thank you, keep doing what you do and hope you´re feeling better soon. hugss

[@kagey7591]

I think part of the comfort of your channel is that you keep it real and don't sugarcoat the bad days. We all have them, and it's comforting to know that the KZbinr we love and admire (for some of us, our very favorite KZbinr) has those days as well ... while reminding us all (and probably herself) that tomorrow might be better. There is such hope in that. So ... thank you.

[@PressPlayChey]

“Build your brain while you build your gains” I need that on a tshirt. Gorgeous ❤

[@justvynexa]

the next vlog is going to be so vibes so positive and so good! I feel it in my gallbladder! 💕

[@RoseEvans01]

hello ally! sending all the thoughts and prayers. (also thank you for all the hard work you put into these videos they are very much appreciated. i watch them when i need cheering. the vibes are immaculate. keep on keeping on.)

[@allisonpaiges]

that’s my goal when making videos is to be a comfort place so this comment makes me so happy :,)

[@juno4483]

Alison, I honestly needed this. I’ve been having a rough week and when it’s gloomy in life you forget that other people are feeling the same way and I feel really isolated. But see you get upset and your just waiting for the sunshine, it’s real and just made me feel okay that I’m having valid emotions. Thank you for being honestly you ❤️

[@KelsieRose94]

Sorry that life keeps knocking you around, Ally! But just know that while it is doing so, your humour surrounding it is making me giggle, while your tenacity is just so inspiring

[@honeyotter4]

ally! i hope you see this because i desperately wanted to let you know how much you mean to me. i too am an autistic girlie who adores reading- i would say its my special interest. your joy and positivity and honest conversation surrounding autism has massively helped me feel less 'weird' and lonely and like my life would be limited. i love you so much xx i always watch a video of yours when i get home from school to calm me down. THANK YOU ALLY 💓

[@francescakyanda9182]

Me too, reading is my special interest!

[@LiliGrosserova]

I came across your page a couple weeks ago, and it's been the best thing that happened to me so far this year ahaha but seriously, I already watched all your videos. Thank you for making my days better. Never change!

[@lookatmybooks1214]

Same with me ☺️

[@Sophie_Milagros]

As someone who is currently in one of their worst flare ups like ever, watching your videos is just so joyful and soothing. You have inspired me to start reading more non fiction books and even annotate them. I am sending you spoons and I hope your migraines go away or subside soon ☺️

[@kuzmazuza]

I am so tired this week that I didn’t had time to watch this video and the fact that it was so relatable with how I fell is so funny and kinda make me feel better also I want to eat that pasta so bad it’s look so freaking good

[@isabellejoubert1075]

I am in my second year of a research Masters in English and I too find The Body In Pain PROFOUNDLY inaccessible. Your brain is not too small for it, it's just that different methods of communication and styles of writing work for different people

[@lainainennui]

I can really relate to you in this vlog! T-T it's hard to stay positive when the universe can't let you catch a break, but that's okay. I prefer content creators who keep it real because forced positivity isn't healthy either. Here's to a better next week! 🌼 💕

[@ofthe_valley]

manifesting good vibes for you (and me, and anyone else reading this) for the next week!!! 🪴✨💚

[@allisonpaiges]

🌈✨🌈✨🌈✨

[@francescakyanda9182]

considering how integral your videos are to my Sundays and how you've been BLESSING my reading, I've joined the Patreon! you're as essential as the 5-dollar NYT crossword app subscription I pay for 🌻

[@allisonpaiges]

🥹😭🥲

[@karareynolds6398]

Just popping in to say thank you for all the work you put into these videos. They never fail to put a smile on my face. Also the shot of Rumi with the snow out the window was *chefs kiss* 🐱❄️

[@janina6206]

i love your vlogs so much i microdose myself with them. i wait and wait and i can't anymore and then i watch a video and hope two more await me in my inbox.

[@adrianaiello1608]

i GASPED when you said you spilled on your laptop- i spilled a full bowl of stir fry sauce (basically just soy sauce and brown sugar and spices) *into* my open laptop last week. so i feel you. hoping this week is going better :-)

[@lilianamarques2375]

the Gilmore girls reference!!!! I'm screaming, you are too precious

[@madromance]

the amount of hints you just dropped in this makes me scREAM !!!!!! the editing in this one was top notch, can't wait for the next ~ you always have the best recs and the coziest vibes

[@xangel6721]

I blame winter. Winter sucks. Sending all of the positive vibes!!! 💜💞😻 Spring is coming soon :)

[@kenzievances]

sending “so positive so vibes so good” vibes to ya!! 🌈

[@SynsBookNook]

That twilight turtle is awesome! 🌙 ⭐️ 🐢

[@aydaybaynay]

I found and bought the same turtle light at my thrift store. My daughter carries it around all the time now 😭😍 and I'd be lying if I didn't say I wanted to do the same.

[@ChloeTheePayne]

from my strugglebus to yours, sending all the positive viiiiiibes and hoping things have been looking up!

[@robyn3943]

I'm so sorry about how your week was Ally! I hope that every week in the future is so much better for you

[@_the_palest_3000]

Rewatching old content to get my fill. I’m still grieving the loss of content, but I hope you’re doing better.

[@georgiaknightreadsandwrites]

Sending ALLLLLLLLL of the positive vibes into the world to land on your doorstep, to be delivered to you and showered with the good vibes 🙌🏻

[@allisonpaiges]

thank you georgia!!

[@alexandraa23]

All week I look forward to alli’s videos which has made sunday become the best day of the week :,) (even though I’m a student and that means I have to write an essay today lol)

[@yaseminbalaban3069]

My laptop came back to life after spilling boiling tea a few years ago and it’s still going strong don’t lose hope

[@imcbear6274]

Whenever I decide to watch youtube, your channel is the first one I look at to see if there is a new video.

[@BooksandScribbles]

Sending all the positive vibes for the next vlog. I do appreciate that you keep it real since I suffer from migraines as well. I do get wanting a break too. Universe! Give us more good and less testing us please 🙏 🙂

[@JustReadingwithJazzy]

“Normalize never changing”(clothes) I agree! I vibe with wearing whatever is deemed your comfort clothes and not feeling like you have to change into a different set everyday. I’m always wearing the same pj’s for at least a good 5-7 days before washing them and putting them back on straight out of the dryer👌🏽 Just saying🤷🏼‍♀️

[@caroldedeurwaerder2660]

Ally, I came across your channel a couple weeks ago. You are a ray of sunshine, always filled with sweet humor. Hands up you are the best booktuber in my book. Sending you lots positive vibes, laughter & love your way.

[@majaflower5862]

i have a bad migraine day and I am so happy I can watch your video

[@ILoveJahangeer]

Alli’! What can I say that I haven’t already?! You are such a phenomenal, beautiful-souled individual! Thank you so much for bringing joy, happiness, laughter and smiles to our lives all the time! Continue shining, striving and being the amazing person that you are! ❤️

[@lena_blue]

Love the thumbnail of this video! And the video too ofc ☺️

[@ricehat9434]

I have watched this so many times. I hope you are going okay ❤

[@kitthereader]

ok i know you were having a rubbish week but this still made me feel all comfy cosy and happy? sending you sunshine and also waiting here til april to find out THE NEWS.

[@meekelareads]

oh my gosh i can't believe you still have snow! hemispheres are a wild concept - its 37 degrees celsius here and i am dying

[@meekelareads]

NORMALISE NEVER CHANGING

[@meekelareads]

[@meekelareads]

rip laptop - such a bad run :( I am sorry 2023 is starting against you

[@sierrareed11]

Sending thoughts for sunshine!!! ☀️💗🌎🌊🌈💐 also happy almost Valentine’s Day ❤

[@charissnyder5887]

hey hey hey hey I had daily migraines when I was in high school and as much as resting and cutting back helped, the thing that really knocked them out for good (4 years without migraine issues) was getting on a low does of a tricyclic antidepressant. The one that I was on was Amitriptyline and it was a very small dose, I barely felt the side effects, and it really took care of my daily migraines. I even tapered off of the med after a year and my daily migraines did not come back. I typically go for a more holistic approach to treating mental health issues for myself, but I remember how debilitating the migraines were and how much this took care of the issue. Totally ignore this if it's unhelpful, I'm not trying to tell you what to do, but I wanted to put it on your radar in case your hadn't considered it! Wishing you good health, thank you for inspiring me to read

[@katpablo]

thank you as always Ally for putting out content in spite of the shitshow time it has been. I wish you a smoother, sunshinier, pain-free week ahead. xo

[@mountainbikingvampirewitch]

Yoooooo I just saw you in a video by Ed People!! Universes are colliding in the best way! 😂😂😊 great dance moves btw!

[@VeraFran]

Sending sunshine and warm and only good and positive things your way, Allie!

[@Valeria-po3wq]

all I needed today was my favorite girlie pop uploading a new vlog, so thanks for the delivery ❤

[@georgiaevans3035]

Manifesting all the positive vibes ✨️

[@Alex-pb5rf]

The "I neeeeeeeddddddd iiiiitttttt" bit made me chortle 🤣🤣🤣

[@c0nstellate]

Ally your vids are just a warm hug 🥺

[@allisonpaiges]

this is the ultimate compliment!

[@EmilyElements]

I watch these videos on Monday mornings while I have breakfast and is the better decision I've taken in a while. Ps.: for that kind of sticky residue I always use a simple everyday eraser and it works like a charm.

[@dee1661]

I get headaches with too much blue light, so I use a projector instead of a computer screen. I really hope your migraines get better, it’s so so brutal, I’m so sorry. Thank you for your videos, they are my absolute favourite!!!

[@rinareads0_0]

dear ally i love your vlogs they never fail to put a smile on my face! wishin you all the positive vibes for all your future vlogs :)))))))))))))))))

[@mediocreprince6109]

i was not prepared for the chris fleming clip but enjoyed it greatly! my favourite booktuber quoting my favourite comedian! 🖤

[@danielleolivia4545]

I'm sorry you haven't been feeling well + about your computer Alli! 😢 sending you a big hug thru the universe 💓

[@megdent8695]

Hey ally! I don’t know if it was just a glitch but I thought you might wanna know I got an ad for the first time on this video!

[@wordstowordlessthings]

have you ever used pink-tinted glasses? I think it's FL-41 tint and as someone who has chronic migraine, works on computers and under fluorescents, and honestly finds the amount of light in the world too much some days, they're such a relief to put on. and on grey winter days there's the added bonus of literally putting on rose-coloured glasses! These and turning my computer settings permanently to night light (warmer, less blue) greatly reduced migraines following work days for me.

[@abiroad]

I've been having a hard time so far this year but this past week finally gave me some of the positive vibes I've been waiting for, manifesting that for you too!!

[@oliviak3679]

Omg I love the Body in Pain! I used some of the concepts in my thesis

[@litwithkat]

SO EXCITED FOR APRIL FOR THE EXCITING NEWS BUT ALSO FOR THE POCKET PAGES PICK!!!! i've had of women and salt on my shelves for faaar too long!!

[@_feral_streep_]

I can’t wait to celebrate the thing we can’t celebrate yet

[@_feral_streep_]

Citizen!!!!!! So exciting!!!!!

[@_feral_streep_]

Nooooo Ally the computer I’m so sorry

[@cryingaboutbooks]

[@leticiakayamori]

[@agothbee]

you and laurens are such cuties 💜

[@fleur_h]

Sending you positive and healing vibes Ally! 🫶❤️ Your videos are always like a big hug for my mental health and help me when I’m feeling anxious or down. Thank you so much and I’ve got ‘no doubt that you’ll get up again they’re never gonna get you down’. 😋❤️

[@alanaamore]

"i just need to nap and grow" legend

[@macieleann1990]

you are easily my favorite content creator out there 🫶 also finally joined the patreon!

[@addunk355]

Lady, your content is excellent. Thank you for your openness and talent!

[@pepperwings]

Oof I'm sorry things weren't as positive as you hoped, but you still made a cozy video! I'm disappointed about The Body in Pain, that's on my TBR, it seems like it could still be a valuable read, but it's definitely helpful to know that it's dense, academic reading, I can handle that some of the time, but not all the time. I hope things are looking up next week!

[@zozobop]

always rooting for you ❤❤❤ the universe better be ready to fight me!!!

[@bimbim4054]

_Sending all thoughts, all prayers so the next vlog and also your life will be ✨so positive✨ ✨so vibes✨ ✨so good✨_

Sticker residue hack: lemon essential oil will take it right off!

[@theblairbookproject]

that one sentence from the body in pain brought me right back to the university library trying to fit complicated academic paper quotes I semi understand into a sociology paper at 1 am to prove to professor that I do - indeed - deserve a passing grade. 0/10

[@roseannbroz8131]

Hello, I have been watching you for some time now and really enjoy your videos. I too suffer from migraines, lately its pressure changes that set them off. I noticed you did not upload today. I hope all is well. Please keep us updated.

[@nimrodgrrrl]

Just a thought, and not sure if this is something you would be into, but maybe a cooking stream would be cool? If people are always asking and you’re more of an improviser? Because the people are right, your food does always look DELICIOUS. Side note: hope ur doing ok and taking care of urself this week

[@itsthemadster]

Hoping for more peace and joy for you moving forward!

[@acupoftia11]

I think you would find the myth of normal by Gabor maté very interesting! I haven’t read the whole thing yet but so far it’s kinda life changing for me🙂

[@allisonpaiges]

i have it on my TBR shelf i can’t wait to read!!

[@herzetty]

God I love a good Chris Fleming reference

[@1_piece_of_dirt]

idk if you’ve already heard of trying botox for migraines? i don’t wanna be all hey have you heard of this to help yr body cuz u prolly have but i just thought i would suggest it cuz my mom has chronic migraines and used to not even be able to count or drive till she started getting botox for her migraines. it doesn’t fix it permanently but it does help her a lot!

[@giuliamarangon353]

sending loads of love and thoughts and good health!! 💓 fuck chronic pain and fuck doctors who tell us there's nothing wrong with us when our bodies are telling us otherwise, I see you and I hear you, we'll get through it and we'll get our diagnoses (hopefully lol) 😽

[@Cevin.]

Oooh! I Love Ri Turners KZbin channel, im sure her podcast is equally as lovely
