Quality times Rachel itself amazingly

[@fishytopez4492]

Yes, girl! Thank you for staying drama free and relatable.

[@christinamariemoney]

I always feel so inspired and peaceful after Rachel’s videos! Anyone else feel the same? ❤️ this is the way I want people to feel after they watch my videos!

[@kathleenhsu6364]

I feel the same. I love watching these videos. It makes me feel so inspired to clean and organize.

[@cooldesert30]

Absolutely! She had a true gift for healing.

[@SaraJavedAkhtar]

Same here ! Apart from her beauty videos I love to watch her videos that makes me feel relaxed and inspired .

[@evadiktampani9391]

Seriously, I always watch Rachel’s videos for cleaning right before my cleaning!! She gives inspiration not just to clean but to feel home!!

[@СветланаВербецкая-ю2с]

Yes!yes!yes!!!!!!!!

[@racheltalbott]

Also, I realize my hair is LITERALLY crazy!! I lazy braided it post shower. Crazy hair, don't care & sweats.. Maybe I will be super on it and film myself cleaning all glamorous one of these days!! ;0) haha

[@madhurimakopparapu8840]

U look super awesome anyway 😘 Aaaaaamaaazingggg voice

[@CourtneyCoxx]

Rachel Talbott I was actually thinking how cute it looked and I wished I could do that stuff to my hair 😂

[@divyasasidharan2960]

I can only do one thing in a day.. either cook n eat OR clean OR study OR plan OR relax n unwind... u look like a superhuman to me

[@racheltalbott]

haha I feel you.. A lot of days I feel that way too!! It's rare to get a full day like this, so I just plan ahead and try to accomplish as much as I can If I get a block of time.. Otherwise, it's usually just one thing a day.

[@racheltalbott]

@Tessie There's a great book called The Slight Edge. It talks about little habits everyday that make an impact over time.. Slow and steady, slow simmer.. It's all good!!!

[@andreawaibel3584]

Thank you, all three of you ladies! I thought I was the only one, and I thought there was something wrong with me. Rachel, I'm going to check out that book.

[@divyasasidharan2960]

@@racheltalbott it’s not the time or the planning, it’s just the mental n physical fatigue... m done doing one... ur vdos r refreshing n does give mental energy to tackle more in a day... it’s good to know it’s possible n joyful

Omg your voice! 😍 You're such an inspiration Rachel, keep it up. 💗

[@justinemarie6045]

Wow you just blew my freakin socks off. I had no idea you could sing like that. You are soo creative in all kinds of ways. I love your channel!

[@roekinn]

Hands DOWN favorite person to see an upload from. It's so nice to see someone share their passions with the world. I'm totally lost on knowing what mine are. I hope to discover that at some point.Thanks for sharing, Rachel! 🙏🏼🌈✨💛

[@Lysana7]

wow, you´re just such a super human being... so talented, and creative, and really good about intentional, productive living... I´ve been loving you and your channel for so many years now...it´s really nice to see you share your passion for music on this channel as well... you´re videos are always so inspiring and relaxing and I really hope that some day I will have my life together like you seem to have (and I know you always say that you´re not perfect... but we´re all just human beings and that´s okay) ...but you´re really an inspiration in this busy busy world to stay connected with what´s truly important and what grounds you... so thank you for that :) Love from Germany

[@racheltalbott]

I appreciate your kind words. I want to assure you that I am NOT super human!! haha I have days when I crash!! I will do a sit down chatty video talking about this topic soon!! .. I'm trying to be mindful and balanced with my choices so that I can live a balanced, fulfilling, and purposeful life.

[@Lysana7]

Oh thank you for responding :) I´m looking forward to your sit down chatty video and getting to know a bit more about how you manage to get the most of your days in such a healthy and balanced way... it really requires some discipline and effort to live such a life style and you´re just such an inspiration to me (and many others) :) XX

[@amyrichcreek]

OOH, she's sassy! Those lyrics and the way you delivered them...goosebumps!

[@racheltalbott]

haha So I had a business meeting where someone was really trying to put me into a box. I was polite and professional, but it was getting on my nerves.. It's not the first time I've felt that way, and I kept hearing these lyrics and this vibe in my head.. like "no, stop telling me who I am or have to be."

[@amyrichcreek]

@@racheltalbott I have "Armor" by Sara Bareilles on repeat for that same reason...I love songs where women empower women, and take a stand against the negativity. Rock on, sister! 😁✌

[@jessicargyle]

Amy Richcreek omg YES! Goosebumps for sure!

[@ash-xs3bm]

Wow, that music piece you made is amazing, hope to hear the song when finished. Also, to see you as a mother, animal-mom, wife, gardener, musician, a student, and keeping the house clean, wow you are amazing and an inspiration. Hope you had a wonderful mothers day yesterday with your family.

[@racheltalbott]

I promise that it's never all perfect or together all at once, but I try! hahah

[@bakalaurel]

Oh my goodness, Alex Goot was one of the first people I ever watched on KZbin when I was a preteen (I'm 21 now). He is incredibly talented! Your piano has definitely been through some amazing work and now it's going to get some more from you!

[@racheltalbott]

He's amazing! It sounds weird, but the piano has great vibes and a great sound and I ABSOLUTELY LOOOOVE it! It was so cool how that worked out!

[@homemakesmehappy]

I love how calming your videos are. You utilize your time so well! 💕

[@kate_700]

I am so inspired by this video! I work from home, so seeing how you set the tone for your day was really inspiring for me. I’m ready to have a productive day tomorrow! 😊

[@th3azscorpio]

You're cert lucky. What exactly do you do, working from home?

[@jessicakoswhicher]

Forever and always, some of my favourite content on youtube. I am a singing teacher.. and I am SO inspired to expand my studio in different way. Amazing, Amazing, Rachel!!!!

[@racheltalbott]

Yay! That makes me so happy! Music is healing and wonderful!

[@lilymartinez9184]

You’re voice is amazing.. Literally got chills listening..

[@racheltalbott]

Thank you so much Lily! =)

[@Faeoftheforest444]

Such an inspiration to women to do all they can for there self God Bless

[@rikketakera]

This video is fantastic ☀️ I love how you show us your routines and it immediately feels inspiring and like a motivation boost!

[@ShiningStar-vx6jw]

Hey thanks for showing the books that you read. Now you got me wanting to study some of those too! 📚

[@ALEXAS2012]

Hi i feel so relax when i watch this kind of videos of yours.i learn that i don't have to hurry to be productive,just to do things step by step,specially as a mom not to feel tired and stressed.So thank you and keep doing this kind of videos.You are an inspiration to me 🤗😘

[@racheltalbott]

I feel you!! and sometimes the days when we aren't producitve are totally fine.. balance is key.. finding inner peace and not feeling rushed or stressed to be overly productive is important too!!

[@ALEXAS2012]

🤗❤🤗

[@FMM-pg1hf]

I subscribed to your channel long time ago maybe 10 years now, and I always wondered since you are composing music why you aren't introducing some pieces to this channel in the beginning or ending of your videos? I know you are very busy but it would connect subscribers to your musical creativity more and associate your music to your content. all the best, Good luck

[@racheltalbott]

I guess I figured if my subscribers were interested they would go check out my Spotify or iTunes. But you're right. That's a good idea and I would like to start incorporating that more on this channel.

[@utopianjess]

@@racheltalbott For sure, I agree with the above comment. I was thinking you should do that and we would be able to connect to your music more. All the best to you always. Love your content.

[@racheltalbott]

@@utopianjess I appreciate that. I think it's a great idea and would love to start sharing more of that side of me on here! =) I appreciate your support and encouragement.

[@Thenovelassistant]

Agreed. You could have an intro and outro track that you composed and background music that is yours. Would you do music for KZbin that other youtubers could use in their videos? I believe there are companies that do that

[@racheltalbott]

@@Thenovelassistant My husband has been telling me to do this for years!! I totally should! It's a great idea!

[@odonata9838]

Thanks for keeping it real, Rachel! I'm always inspired and informed after watching these types of videos on your channel. They allow me to procrastinate and feel productive at the same time...lol

[@lamparium7620]

Thank you so much for creating such inspirational and motivating content! It really pushed people to get clarity on what they want from life and put all efforts into making it happen, and I believe that makes people better and more empathetic in the long run because being content with who you are and how your life is makes you want to see others happy&content too. ❤️

[@TinaGolik]

Wow, did this bring back memories! Recording music, and doing the vocals..I used to be a Stevie Nicks impersonator, and loved singing, and doing contests. You have such soul moving, life in your voice. Not all singers have that.. Don't ever stop, because it does get rusty. I really enjoyed this video. Thank you for sharing :)

[@racheltalbott]

That's sooooo cool! I LOVE Stevie Nicks!! It's been such a blessing to get back to making music in my own way. I'm excited to grow as an artist. You are so right, the more you sharpen your skills and craft, the better you get!! I hope you keep singing!!!

[@misscherrylinh2259]

Love the behind the scenes of how you make your own music!

[@patriciaortega4380]

Girl I went on iTunes and really loved two of your songs. Still have the beat stuck in my head.

[@racheltalbott]

Ahhh thanks so much!! Hopefully it will just get better as I do this more and more haha

[@rebeccaharper574]

This inspired me so much. Productivity and creativity are so difficult for me to balance. I feel that I can’t allow myself to create when I have so much work to do. I will be watching this video frequently. Thank you!

[@DansonforJoy]

Oh, I hope you’ll tell us when your album is available! 🤗 I love that you planned to clean first - I always think I can jump right into creativity, then end up cleaning because I can’t focus! 😉 It was SO interesting to watch your music process. Loved this video, Rachel! 💗

[@monikasharma766]

Your videos is like meditation for me,whenever i see them i get relax,i am not into dusting earlier,but now i feel relaxed whenever i do cleaning

[@ajoyfullsound]

I love how cheerful and encouraging you and your videos are! Thanks!

[@Thenovelassistant]

I wish we were friends in life it's great to be inspired by friends of the same age and same stage in life. Love watching your videos

[@Bobeteful]

Hands down my favorite most inspiring KZbinr ❤️

[@racheltalbott]

You are so kind! Thank you for your support!

[@soulcostume]

Actually, your stories I always (and believe many out there) find inspiring - for life, in many aspects. It is interesting how you are talented for psychological journaling, sharing introspective thoughts with audience.. We have all opportunity to learn from this one single story-aspect how one being is doing things creatively&calmly. After watching it I realize how I am doing things in life and how I can improve for better or congratulate myself sometimes for similar dedication which I did not seen in closed prisma. Its inspiring, helpful, educative... It can even spark some particles of will and enthusiasm. Thank You Rachel ♥

[@akilav2981]

This was very motivating. Curious to know the ‘timetable’ for this day: how long you spent on each task and how this fit in with mealtime and transitions etc.

[@akilav2981]

Oh and I definitely love hearing your music and composition process! I don’t bounce around to many channels so it’s nice to see your music here.

[@christinasdisneydreams8396]

This def was super inspiring! Im ready go get up and clean and prep my space for a creative Friday tomorrow! Thank you!!❤️💖🌸

[@stefaniecavicchia]

[@kthylin777]

wow you are soo artistic and passionate about music! I cant wait for your album to comr out to support you 😁

Thank you! I will keep you guys posted on that! Should be late summer or early fall for the acoustic album =)

[@jank1o0o]

Ceiling window 😂😂😂 I love this video! Thanks for sharing.

[@NikitaUnique]

Rachel, they make pet blankets that you can put on your sofa in the music room. (Or even just a regular blanket.) That way the dogs can lay on the blanket on the sofa, and you can just take the blanket off and wash that rather than removing the fur (or anything else) from the sofa cushions. 😊

[@racheltalbott]

That's such a great idea haha

[@NicolesNaturals]

Whenever my kids practice the piano or have a lesson, our dog always goes and sits under the piano. It's so sweet. I really think dogs love music.

[@racheltalbott]

Aww yes.. Mine too!! I think they love to just listen to whatever I'm working on! haha The chickens sometimes come into the studio too!! haha

[@zprincessdoll]

You are such an awesome super mom. You’re definitely an inspiration.

[@edinakikic4006]

For some reason, I am reminded of the book, "Women who ran with wolves", by Clarissa Pinkola Estes. Something like - cleaning is neverending for us women. But it seems to help you be creative and productive. You sing beautifully, so talented! Very thorough in everything you do indeed!

[@PBRchick224]

So talented and inspirational.. I love your channel! I always sit down and watch your channel after a particularly stressful or mentally draining day. Always feel more relaxed and less anxious after, thank you!

[@beyondtheselands]

I loved this video so much because it really resonates with my reality. This year I decided to quit a formal job and persue art as my full time occupation. The creative process is so hard. It takes time, knowledge, a lot of patience and dedication. Your tips were absolutely helpful. Thank you for sharing it with us and for creating an amazing content.

[@racheltalbott]

You are so right. It's been such a learning and growth process for me. It has it's ups and downs for sure.. Thank you for watching and commenting.. I wish you the best on your journey with your art. I believe Art is important and healing.

this was pleasantly motivating, i was feeling kinda down lol. also, totally relate to the dust being annoying. i love having the window open because of fresh air and a less stuffy room but a tiny amount of wind outside coats everything in dust. i HATE the feeling of dust on my laptop and books lol, it's a major impediment to my productivity haha.

Have you always made fitness a priority? I am struggling to get to the gym and when I do I don't know what to do and how to maximize the time or machinery. Any advice?

[@sophialeiscleansaway]

Random music question. Where do you buy your sounds? My husband and I are working on an album and finding instruments that sound legit are super hard! Especially drum kits. Lots of love from France. 😘

[@racheltalbott]

Yeh..they can be kinda expensive.. Native Komplete has good plugin sounds.. Lately I've been making demos with what I have (stock plugins and sounds), and I send my demo to my producer friends who have the good plugins to make it sound a bit better.. Live instruments are my personal favorite (growing up with a musician myself), but when I create demos it's usually just the initial idea. The acoustic album I'm doing with be all live instruments which I'm very excited about.. Just have to make charts which is time consuming.
