Best!

Ahhh i thought i recognized her

[@Yesica1993]

If Ruby ever moves out, I will miss her house and garden so very much. I've never seen a place that so perfectly matches my own personal style. Everything about it is so lovely!

[@Sammiipeony]

I think I remember her buying a cottage a few years ago which she rented out but not sure if she still has that xx

Dear Ruby, I’m not sure why I’m feeling emotional at this video, but I am. I see so much of myself in you and, having felt like I’ve abandoned certain parts of myself over the years, I feel somehow emboldened by this video. You take care of your body and mind with so much discipline and I hope to do the same. You take care of your connections with friends and family with so much love and nurture. I feel I have much to learn. I miss the spark I see in you that I once saw in myself and I want to thank you for reminding me of it, for reminding me how I want to be in the world, and if one day we meet I hope you won’t mind if I give you a hug. With love, Bethan

[@meriambenouis5318]

I know that this letter wasn't meant for me but thank you for posting it. Such a sweet and honest soul, I find it endearing when others show appreciation to people. And I relate to what you're saying. We need to look after ourselves, this is such an important aspect of life. I'm a mum of 2 young boys and I've felt this too often. But you can do it, you can get yourself back. X

[@MusclesandBooks]

Definitely keep putting your work out there - I have a friend who's a playwright and it took YEARS of being rejected before she started getting readings and showings of her work - now she's getting more and more well-known!

[@RubyGranger8]

Thank you for this! x

[@sarahsimpson8775]

I'd love to see a household routine of who does what in your house. I feel like it's so relaxed and everyone looks after themselves so easily yet you all have mutual understandings and there's always food etc so however you do it, it works well.

[@PoppySimonSays]

Thank you for this +30 minutes vlog, it's all I needed this evening ! Your universe is quite peaceful and relatable to me, thank you for sharing this with us :)

[@prayasalt]

I used to watch your videos when I was preparing for premed, 5yrs later I'm a doctor and stumbled on your channel again, delighted to see you

[@thenoobalmighty8790]

What is an epiglottis?

[@prayasalt]

@@thenoobalmighty8790 it's a cartilage that covers your airway while you swallow your food so you don't choke

[@eleanor-reads]

I'm a bit older than you, but I really enjoy your videos for a bit of lightly motivational entertainment. Your videos help inspire me and help me stay motivated in pursuing my goals, while also balancing productivity with self care and fun. I appreciate how your channel has focused more on balance in recent years! Plus I also work in a school, and I also really love it! I'm glad you are protecting your own privacy, as well as the students' privacy.

[@chaptercarys]

Ruby! It was so lovely to chat all things Oxford (and totebags!) with you at the book launch 💕

[@j.amesdylan]

I don’t watch your videos ever, but this made me reconsider. You’re really down to Earth and genuine, and seem like such a terribly kind person. This video feels warming and really calm. Thanks for keeping me entertained after a bad day :)

[@alissafagla]

I miss england so much. I am French and went to Oxford for a year. I fell in love with the english countryside. Your videos are so soothing and a real breath of fresh air Thank you for sharing that with us

[@leanelabuschagne30]

You looked absolutely GORGEOUS in that dress !!

[@thetragicyouth]

Agreed! 💯

[@fegrace_1]

I was thinking the same thing. It reminded me of the black dress that Audrey Hepburn wore in Breakfast at Tiffany’s!

[@sophiaisabelle01]

We wish you all the best, Ruby. Keep working hard. We will support you no matter what.

[@amyheptinstall7674]

I love that you talk about feeling socially drained. I feel that so much and I live in London so frequently feel drained and tired. I love that you normalise this for us introverts and make us feel seen

[@jamiedianne6778]

I’m so glad you uploaded this video, I’ve had a horrible day and I really needed some positivity 🙏🥹

[@Gemamp]

I think another reason why you love so much your own company its because you spend that time doing things or learning about something that you love, and i think that its so empowering. Honestly making time for other people takes away so much from the process of creating or achiving our own goals. I definitely have to learn to put limits on the time i spend with other people.

[@idolivercampos]

Miss Ruby, my name is Idalvo, I'm Brazilian, I retired and now I'm studying Portuguese and French at college, 'cause really like literature, I'm fluent in Spanish, English and Italian, I always watch your channel, thank you very much.Thank's, YOU are the Sun, YOU are the rain...like Lionel Richie music. 😊

Tip for Mascara application, once you've applied it, use an eye lash curler it reduces any excess smudging and blotting. It also makes your eye lashes look healthier.

[@alwina.h27]

You are going to love demon copperhead! My favorite book of all time. As someone who grew up near that region, it’s incredibly relatable and has some really important commentary/insights.

[@Hebe-ek1ul]

Hi Ruby, Your vlogs feel real. I like that. You're not going out of your way to make sure everything's picture-perfect and that makes your authenticity shine. Literature has always been my first love, but somewhere along the way, I lost it. I'm getting back to it and watching your vlogs makes me yearn for it. Love, Ruth

[@lillysummeroriginals1213]

May I ask what do you like to read?

[@Hebe-ek1ul]

@@lillysummeroriginals1213 Both fiction and non-fiction. I love a good story in whatever genre, and self-help books. I've been gravitating towards philosophy on youtube so I would love to delve into philosophical books. For now, I am easing myself in with good old romance books. I'm itching to read Mediations by Marcus Aurelius. I've heard so many good things. I will start reading it next week. Thank you for asking! What books do you love reading?

[@lillysummeroriginals1213]

@@Hebe-ek1ul of course. Just like yourself I read anything that grabs my attention. I currently am loving poetry, not the cliché work but the writing that makes you feel because it is so authentic. I also am reading a biography about Tom Petty, have you heard of him? I also love romance, historical fiction, and philosophy as well. I just finished last week rereading the four agreements, have you read it? If not it is a great recommendation. I’ve heard a lot of good things about Marcus Arelious as well, I have not read his work just quite yet but I plan to in the future.

[@lillysummeroriginals1213]

@@Hebe-ek1ul this is my attitude. Recommend me any book in any genre and I will read into the blurb. If I find it interesting I will read that book but if throughout I get bored at all I will stop. Unless of course it is for school or something of that regard. I value my time so do not feel bad putting down a book but this attitude also allows me to get introduced to new books and genres I never would have read before. Recently also I just finished the entire little women series by Louisa May Alcott, it was absolutely incredible, have you read it or any of the books?

[@Hebe-ek1ul]

@@lillysummeroriginals1213 I had to look up Tom Petty and The four agreements. The latter looks right up my alley so I'm adding it to my 2023 reading list. It feels nice talking to someone new and interesting. I realized life makes way more sense when I view it through philosophical teachings.I hope we can stay in touch in one way or another.

Demon Copperhead is a wonderful book. At times jarring to read because of the endless hardships but just so compelling over hundreds of pages

I'm about to enter my master this year just like you and I feel excited just because we'll do this at the same time. We can do this, guys ! I just wanted to say, I wasn't feeling well this week, and your video showed up at the right time for my mental health. Thank you Ruby for being you

[@mollyelton3952]

You are such an inspiration to me. I am so proud of you and i love seeing Ruby and Jade.

[@clairejones4378]

Demon Copperhead is the best book I've ever read, absolutely phenomenal. I was lucky enough to hear Barbara Kingsolver speaking in Bath a few weeks ago. She was at Hay as well, but I imagine you would have mentioned it if you'd seen her. I hope you enjoy DC, it really is extraordinary. Well worth listening to BK speaking about it as well if you can find an interview. Everything that happens in the book has happened to someone she has talked to.

[@RubyGranger8]

Thank you so much! You're making me more excite to read it! How cool that you saw her speak! I'll have to find an interview online x

I really liked the tip on just getting in the habit of submitting things to publication even if you don't feel that great about them. I think that may help my own personal hump that I'm trying to get over. I'm just so much of a perfectionist and I won't submit ANYTHING at the moment.

[@ravenstone9322]

love your videos, been watching for years but I just wanted to point out that while the pronunciation of the Appalachian Mountains you used isn't technically incorrect (Ap-pa-LAY-cha), the way people from the area (I'm from nearby) pronounce is it Ap-pa-LATCH-a. There's a great 3-minute video from Ross Sauce here on KZbin that kind of explains the difference.

Demon Copperhead was the best book I read last year. The Poisonwood Bible, also by Barbara Kingsolver, is one of my all-time favorite novels.

So do it. Take what you like from this channel and make it into your own life. You do not need money, but if you like the runs go on rounds. If you like the nature go to a local park. If you like the books and the studying go to a local library. Essentially don’t just sit here and be like hey but make it a reality. Good luck

Hi Ruby! I’ve been watching your videos for about a month now. So happy I stumbled on to your channel. It’s peaceful, informative and inspiring. At the risk of seeming intrusive (I don’t mean to be) I’m wondering about your room and house in general. I love English country homes. The natural light from the casement windows is beautiful, but are they insulating? I see you keep a hot water bottle with you when it’s cold (very cozy, by the way). I also wonder how often a little bird may fly in through the open windows. I want to be a nature lover like you, but I’m still a die-hard city girl. Thank you and keep making your lovely videos!

Lovely vlog Ruby, I love the morning/evening routines and when you invite your friends... wanted to add that I also think that Okay Days is fabulous, I watch Jenny Mustard's channel on KZbin which I love, and the book is so well written it's not really like a first novel. She's living in London currently and put a note up saying she was excited because her book was selling out in Foyles (wow) so they were ordering more signed copies.

[@Sophie-lf9zn]

It really is astonishing how much I connect with you and your videos. We have so much in common, our age, being a literature student, the love for books and nature and the countryside and just general mindset I guess 🫶🏻 watching your videos feels so relaxing and healing, like seeing an old friend. Lots of love from Germany 🌿✨ P.S. we‘ve had the same rainy and cooler weather here these past few days, which feels like such a blessing after the heat wave 😅 is it too early to dream of autumn? I don‘t think so..
