A NEW READ, CINNAMON ROLLS & FEARS // vlogmas day 8

[@Amanda-qt6lc]

I live in Texas. We have about three seasons. Rainy, hot, and little chilly. We did get snow last year. I'm from Ohio though. They have 4 distinct seasons. Summer is easily my favorite. I got that book as my BOTM. We'll see when I get around to it.

[@ciarascorner]

Hahaha love that those are the seasons😂 and ooh, I hope you enjoy the book when you do read it!

[@theokiereader]

The timing of poor Gatsbys sneez with your unpleasant tea face was hilarious!!!

[@ciarascorner]

Gatsby has excellent comedic timing!

[@laurenslibrary7601]

Omg I thought you had a haircut but that length at the front looks so good! I'm in Melbourne Australia and we have fairly mild winters but extreme summers (40 degree days) and I hate it. I wish I had weather like yours. I love the cold but my favourite season is probably spring or autumn as well. I love the changes in the trees and also the temperature where you can be comfortable with or without a jumper ❤️

[@theodorapantelich2535]

I'm from Victoria too! The summers we endure are truly disgusting. Literally dreaming of seeing a white Christmas one day!

[@ciarascorner]

Aww thank you!! Oh wow, I think I’d melt at that heat in summer!

[@aimeewhitehead2639]

I'm only 3 minutes in but it's so comforting to hear how frightened you are of spiders. I feel exactly the same. It can ruin my whole day if I'm on my own in the house. Sending lots of love (will continue watching to see if it was a happy ending 🤞) x

[@silvanadenton9071]

Also the the English tea calender has 2 of each teas I think it's says on the back 🙂

[@ciarascorner]

Ahh fair enough!

[@emilymaeauthor]

Lol I love the little stack of jam in the background

[@ciarascorner]

Hahaha the little stack is growing rapidly!

[@lisaplummer8144]

You made me laugh out loud between the spider and the yucky tea. Lol I’m in West Virginia in the US. Spring and Fall are my favorites too. I hated Winter when I was younger and had to drive to work but now that I’m a caregiver for my brother, I’ve learned to love this darker time too. It’s nice to have no outdoor work to worry about so I get a bit more reading done. The cinnamon rolls looked delicious!

[@dohabeshir9405]

lovely video ❤ well i live in egypt and we just feel summer and winter 😂

[@theshadishow9255]

Sipping my very own Super Star Anise tea while watching your vlog and I have to say your advice was spot on - a little less teabag time has made all the difference! Also, I love the shorter hair on you - I think it suits you so well! Lovely vlog as always 🎄

[@ciarascorner]

It’s quite nice having the teabags twice so you can make the second time better - less teabag time was definitely the right call! And aww thank you so much!

[@CarolinesChapteredLife]

I like the cold weather warrior tea! There's a Yogi brand tea that's similar. I really only drink them when I'm sick. I saved the second bag from the advent calendar for that purpose-just in case.

[@ciarascorner]

Aww I’m glad you enjoyed it!!

[@melissaxo9343]

I love these vlogs. They are cosy and peaceful 🥰

[@ciarascorner]

Aw I’m so glad!

[@catarinasa1412]

I got home and saw that you posted another vlogmas video ❤️ It means grab a cup of tea and relax with your company! Your videos are setting the mood 🎄✨

[@ciarascorner]

Aww yay, so glad you’re enjoying!🎄

[@TheK4R0u]

Excuse my lack of British culture knowledge but what on earth is a crumpet!?? Looks delish though hehe

[@ciarascorner]

Hahha, omg, how to describe a crumpet… it’s kind of in the category of bread but has a very unique texture, it’s kind of spongey - it’s not sweet but texturally kind of like a super light fluffy cake, and then you toast it and have with butter or any other kind of topping (like Jam)!

[@flickphillips7892]

I think your hair would look very lovely a bit shorter. Like you, my favourite season is Autumn and Christmas but I rather like the dark nights. There's something really cozy about them. I have a black cat called Taylor, named after my favourite popstar of all time. Enjoying your vlogmas videos.

[@ciarascorner]

Thank you!! Aww I love that for a cat name hahah!

[@misanthropistbookworm]

Thank you for sharing your cinnamon rolls recipe, I wanna try it so badly! :D I too hate spiders and I too hoover them whenever I can, specially the big ones, since I can't stand the thought of getting near them or touching them. Ewwwwww!!!! And we're about to start summer after a very dry winter, so there are a lot of bugs (spiders included most prominently) around, even though I live in an apartment in the 3rd floor of a building. :( Here, in the part of the country where I live, we used to have very distinct seasons, even though we never got snow for winter. But they were very noticeable and different. Sadly, with the climate going crazy these past decade or so, it has all changed quite a lot and now it's more like two seasons instead of four. A hot, dry one with mostly clear skies and hot temperatures (summer), which are just less hot and a with a bit less of purely clear skies (spring); another very cold one with some rain, if any (winter), which is just a bit less cold and with even less rain for a while (autumn). We've suffered a drought for several years now, which is threatening to become a problem, and it has made winters almost the same as autumn, except colder. :( When I was a kid, you'd get real rain and storms that would last for days during the winter and now... this year, it rained TWICE in the whole period of autumn and winter (from March to September). x_x As someone who loves the rain, it is very depressing... Anyways, thanks for your videos. I love, love, love seeing more of your daily life, working or cleaning or being afraid of spiders, it is so refreshing and comforting! It helps me remember we all have bad moments, and also I feel like we get to know you life and you a bit better. So thanks for sharing that, I love these regular days vlogs! :D Big hug from a very sad viewer who feels a bit better thanks to your videos. :)

[@ciarascorner]

Hope you enjoy the cinnamon rolls! And oh no, I’m sorry to hear how much the climate change is affecting the seasons where you live💔 and thanks so much for watching!

[@misanthropistbookworm]

@@ciarascorner I will definitely report back on my success or lack thereof! I hope they work out! You make it seem so easy, haha. Yeah, it sucks that the weather is getting so dry because I love rain and now I almost never get to see it even in winter... The southern part of my country is a lot colder and it rains a lot more, but I can't just pack up and go live there, sadly... Oh, don't thank me for watching your videos! I love the content you share and your vibe, so it is really my pleasure. :) Thank YOU for making them and for taking the time to reply to comments. I comment in a lot of videos, but 99% of KZbinrs always ask for comments, but never ever reply to them, making me feel invisible. You do reply, and that makes all the difference! Thank you!

[@silvanadenton9071]

I'm the same I always feel bad being vegan but hoovering but I had a spider crawl up my legs 3 times so I'm petrified! I have to put a bag over the hoover so it can't get out and then get my partner to empty the bag 🤣

[@ciarascorner]

It’s so tough but they’re so scary!

[@J_R186]

That is weird that you only get 12 different teas in the English Tea Shop advent calendar. In the one that is sold in Germany there are 24 different ones.

[@satopin7770]

You make crumpets sound/look so good! I’ve never tried them but i would love to! Also ahh! I’m scared of spiders as well! Spiders and cockroaches I can’t deal with 😩

[@honorata3423]

The audacity of some spiders 🙈 I just started watching, paused because my guinea pigs wanted something to snack on, so I go to the kitchen, grab a tomato and as I look into the container... There's a freaking spider in there chillin with those tomatoes and I swear I almost fainted 😂

[@ciarascorner]

Hahah the cheek of them😂 but omg that is horrifying

[@honorata3423]

@@ciarascorner the thing that scares me the most is that I could grab the spider instead of a tomato, and that would be the end of me haha

[@ciarascorner]

Omg don’t - I’d have to throw myself away if that ever happened😂

[@honorata3423]

@@ciarascorner what a nightmare 😂😂 and all of that for nothing because guinea pigs haven't even eaten the tomato 😂 I guess a cardboard box is more appreciated than my sacrifice 😂

[@hanima3805]

ngl I hoover spiders if I'm alone too, and I always extend the pipe bit as far as it'll go so I can stay further away from the spider 😬 they are sooo disgusting and freak me out so much

[@ciarascorner]

I’m glad it’s not just me😂 but yeah the Hoover stick is the only protection hahah

[@grodriguez7225]

Sorry about the spider. Mistletoe & wine?‼️ I myself rarely drink wine or any other kind of alcohol, but I do like fruity drinks‼️ Wow I’ve never heard of advent calendar repeating teas 🤷‍♀️! 🍒 and 🌺 sounds delicious‼️ Cold Weather Warrior tea, 🤷‍♀️! I don’t have a 🐈‍⬛, I do however I do have a chihuahua net name is Luna and cleaning up after her is no fun, so I understand how you feel. Cinnamon rolls 😋‼️ Ps: l finished Mind The Gap Dash & Lill which was so adorable, and full of London holiday joy‼️ I got 40 chapters and 209 pages to go in The Royal Governess which starting to get into the drama of whether or Prince Edward will abdicated from the British throne. Last but not least I picked up In Holidaze and no spoilers but so far it is very funny and the family dynamic is so sweet‼️

[@ciarascorner]

I don’t drink alcohol so mulled wine flavour tea is the most wine I’m having this Christmas😂 glad you enjoyed mind the gap dash & Lily!

[@Kpopheaven]

A new, long vlogmas video from you, yeah! And I also hate spiders so much...

[@ciarascorner]

Hahah glad we’re both on team anti-spider

[@Kpopheaven]

@@ciarascorner me and my bethrothed live in an old house and there are spiders sometimes. We both hate them but we just have to get rid of them one way or another when they do appear.

[@MariaMedeiros]

Lovely vlogmas! I hate spiders also! they are so creepy but they eat other house bugs which is good. But till I hate them as well.

[@ciarascorner]

I just wish they could only come out when I’m not there hahah, it’s only when I see them I freak out!

[@MariaMedeiros]

@@ciarascorner me too!!! Eeek!

[@julieg9847]

I am plagued by the eight legged "hellish beasts" from spring untill late autumn. I have found 3 in my bed! We have wolf spiders here in Pennsylvania. They are big, fast, and hairy. Ugh! I hate them! That being said my favorite season is Autum with Winter a very close second. I love the vibrant colors of the trees in fall and then the steel gray skies of winter. I thrive in colder weather. It all makes me feel so cozy and extremely happy!

[@ciarascorner]

🤮🤮🤮 that is my absolute worst nightmare! But agreed, autumn and winter can be so lovely!

[@peggymccright1220]

When my boys were born, I didn’t want them to pick up my fear of spiders. So I pretended that I was not afraid and trapped it in a glass and cardboard and put it outside. After several events I no longer had to pretend. I had become un afraid. Good luck.

[@ciarascorner]

Not sure what happened to me and my siblings because our mum is not scared of spiders at all but somehow we’re all terrified hahah - unfortunately I think my children will end up picking it up from me!

[@andreeastiopu1831]

I get you, Ciara! I am the same with mice and rats! You are so cute! Xo

[@ciarascorner]

Ahh that’s my mums fear!!

[@noelkempster]

I’ll cheat by saying that my favorite season is fall through the end of Christmas

[@ciarascorner]

Hahah love it!!

[@alixpage7262]

I’m the exact same with them, they paralyse me and I won’t enter any room they are in. Worst bit is I live alone so I have no choice but to deal with it myself, I usually ring my mum crying and for moral support whilst I kill it hahaha so you aren’t alone in that one 🙈

[@theokiereader]

I’m officially changing your name to Ron. That was a total Rom reaction to that 🕷 haha. Woman, you need to get some of those handled fly swatters. Being smooshed would probably be a quicker death than being Hoovered 🙊😧

[@ciarascorner]

I think that’s fair😂😂😂 but the swatters mean getting so much closer!!

[@theokiereader]

@@ciarascorner Put an extension on it but then you got to put something heavy on the swat end, like a shoe. Well..... that might be a little too flimsy to support a shoe. Maybe you should just nail a shoe to the end of a 2x4 piece of lumber.

[@lizvandehaterd9234]

Oh definetely part of the spider phobia group

[@ciarascorner]

We’re a big group hahah

[@lynneyb2469]

Oh my word! It's getting cold so the spiders want to come in. I had a similar experience this morning Ciara with a spider. 😲 nope, sent him down the toilet. I apologized first.

[@ciarascorner]

😬😬😬

[@dudacavalcante9236]

love the vlog! you really should pick the thursday murder club up i am obssessed with it, so funny, the characters are sooo likeble. its also very english haha (im brazilian and i love the culture in general)

[@AnAntUnderTheRoof]

Im afraid now that in my reality created by my mind I caused this spider in your house . Because not so long ago I was wondering for a second how u deal with spiders or insects which must be in a house sometimes ...since for me it's unimaginable to be so calm 🤣 and now I feel bad that I wanted to know 😂

[@ciarascorner]

Hahahha that’s some powerful manifestation!

[@ruth3083]

Warning for anyone who doesn’t want a creepy spider story! … my boyfriend went to take a sip of his water a few nights ago and there was a massive spider in his cup!! He was literally unbothered and just got another cup but just knowing it had happened properly ruined my day 😅

[@theinstabookworm6428]

Not pathetic at all. Spiders are Satan's children.

[@ciarascorner]

Truer words have never been spoken
