"I hope you guys don't think 'OMG she's such a dramaqueen'" - Girl, NO! I relate to the mental health part of this vlog on so many levels! 😂

[@leoraaileen]

😭honestly i have the nicest cutest bestest audience hahaha

[@lilypocket3540]

The sun and the rain changing our mood feels so relatable, turns out we are all just leaves waiting for a bit of sunshine🍃☀

[@inkedbyartemis12]

dealing with anxiety is tough and I hope you’re feeling a bit better. I just want you to know that whenever I’m feeling anxious or tired, your videos inspire me to go read or write or do something creative. I’m very grateful for your channel and I’m glad that you make such great content, so thank you for that :)

[@leoraaileen]

thank you for being here and watching 💝

[@LanaCJames]

I'm always so in love with this cozy cottagecore vibe your vlogs gave me.

[@leoraaileen]

thank you so much 🌱💐

[@francescakyanda9182]

dude when the sun comes out I'm truly a new person, you're not being dramatic at all!

[@eileenweigand5418]

Garden Spells is amazing- it’s a Spring read for sure!

[@leoraaileen]

ahhh I really need to read that!

[@vanessav5041]

i just want to say that every video idea you mentioned in this video sounded SO exciting. I think we would watch anything you upload tbh. Also, personally I love your cozy fantasy recommendations and videos. I'm not tired of them one bit, so if you want to make more videos about them I would still eat them up lol. I hope you can find a new therapist, I know how hard it is to find one. Sending you so much lightness and love!

[@leoraaileen]

thank you so much for the kind words and for watching!!! 💖

[@user-iy4nd8ge2r]

I love your videos,Amsterdam,your kitchen area,so cozy!!! And your books of course☕🫖🥧🍵🕯📓📚🖋And i love your shop!!!

[@OnceUponcaAnIda]

That is one of the prettiest and most spring like thumbnails I've ever seen!! 😍🌷🌸 I can't wait to watch the video!

[@yuleham]

You have so much going on! It’s always inspiring⭐️🪻🍀

[@ReadingNymph]

Having down days is so normal, don't feel bad or think its not valid. Some days are hard and sharing that online isn't easy ❤

[@astoldbykat]

Girl, you are not being a drama queen. Everyone has those days, and it's worse when you have anxiety. Hope your mood has more good days than bad, and you find the time to relax

[@leoraaileen]

ah that's so wonderful thank you!!

[@ZzZivaReads]

Editing leo popping in with the "thanks" was so funny and cute xD honestly, it should be studied why it is that our mood changes with the weather because it's been starting to feel a bit too real in recent years

[@Nia_meow_]

Please don't stop making reading vlogs 🌸 😢

[@kuzmazuza]

I love the part when you were talking, and trying to do your makeup. I don’t mind at all when you are a bit chaotic💖 My mood also change, so much base on the weather I think a lot of people are like this 🌸

[@elliejhnsn]

Okay I wish Nettle & Bone was 100x longer!! I literally couldn’t put it down. Such great world building

[@zachreads]

I read a Swedish thriller that I really enjoyed, it was "The Lost Village by Camilla Sten 4.5☆. Currently reading A Power Unbound by Freya Marske and LO♡ING Started experimenting with TBR poetry my first effort was One Dark Window by Rachel Gillig a mist shrouded kingdom a monster in her head a quest for love and freedom a power of darkness and dread

[@colinbeeks1267]

I hope you don't mind me saying that: 1. You are beautiful, lovely, funny, and fucking amazing! 2. With all you do and the number of plates you spin, it's normal to feel fed up, anxious and overwhelmed sometimes; it will always pass. 3. Keep being you. I don't read the books that you do but watching and listening to you and your enthusiasm for reading makes me want to read more (currently reading The Crimson Petal And The White by Michel Faber. Take a look cos it's brilliant) 4. If you're ever feeling a bit shit, listen to Tomorrow sung by Marisha Wallace. You're feel a whole lot better. Hope you have a lovely Easter weekend x

[@leoraaileen]

thank you 🥹

[@lekofo]

Your vlogs are like that Sun that shows up and brightens the odd feeling-low days💛✨️ Thank you! 🩷

[@justsomebody1171]

I would love to hear some underrated recommendations from you! And I think there is no such thing as to many cosy books.

[@leoraaileen]

yay good to know!

[@badfaith4u]

Your cosy reading vlog is so wonderful.

[@Ritchiiee]

I recently visited Rotterdam and wow, Donner is an amazing bookstore. I also good some free books from the Leeszaal 😁

[@leoraaileen]

I know! such a beautiful, big store

[@ashleyl7794]

This vlog was so fun!! I feel you when your mood changes with the weather

[@tiialaine]

Thank you for shearing your honest thoughts and feelings. I hope sunshine and good spring vibes to you!

[@leoraaileen]

thank you for watching

[@mariaherediaperez1597]

I really enjoy watching you read and talk about your mood and mental health. It was a beautiful video 😊 Right now I’m reading Brandon Sanderson’s Yumi and the Nightmare Paintor and really enjoying it. The illustrations are to die for!

[@florance17]

Whenever you upload I am so happy!! Wishing you all the best ❤

[@Anajele]

Ahh amsterdam is always beautiful, but whenever it's sunny I'm just hit with the deepest love for it lol!! And I'm not even a warm weather girly 😭 there's just something about the lightning and the blue sky behind the colourful buildings

[@leoraaileen]

I know! so cozy

[@gabrielleloeman45]

I really hope you're feeling better Leora!! We love you so much and love how real you are! Your videos bring so much joy, and sometimes I just save up all your videos so on days where I am feeling anxious, or down and just need the outside world to stop for a little while, I just binge your videos and they bring so much joy!! Sending love from Canada 💖💖💝

[@leoraaileen]

thank you for this sweet comment 💝💝

[@caja2555]

Yes you do want to sell this glass cups because they are beautiful and stunning and I need one 😍😍

[@Lunaleodrune]

I just read Garden Spells and it was... a little unexpected. I don't know what I was expecting I guess, but I didn't realise it would be so 'adult', there are a few dark or odd moments. It's also set in summer and also talking about the heat, ice cream, sunshine etc so summer may be a better time to read if you like to read seasonally :)

[@meredithellington934]

The sun is shining on me while I watch this and it feels like a hug from holland

[@leoraaileen]

ahhh yay

[@Thefrenchliterarywitch]

I love your aesthetic and vibes!

[@leoraaileen]

thank you

[@eliza.the.earthling]

🐝 I have a lot of thoughts on what you said in your video about negative anxiety vs being a positive person etc but I don’t know what really to say other than you’re not alone, you’re doing an amazing job, and it’s great you’re doing what you need to do to take care of yourself 🌸 bad days aren’t fun

[@eliza.the.earthling]

Also I love the journalling content - where do you get your cute stickers and bits and bobs you use?

[@leoraaileen]

@@eliza.the.earthling thank you!!! 💝 i print a lot out and use my own stickers from my webshop hahahaha

[@ScullyPop]

Hey Leora! Great show as always.

[@Kami.71]

Sending so much love and hugs! I love your channel, I find you and your being creative so inspiring! I’ve only discovered you last month I think and I’m a regular now ✨❤️ and I think you have a great taste in books (probably cause it’s so so similar to mine 😁)

[@alesmusings]

Will be visiting amsterdam in May and I'm so excited seeing the intro of this vlog ❤

[@Indie_witch10]

I feel like you would really enjoy Wildwood Whispers by Willa Reese! Nobody talks about it but it is so so good! A sweet, cozy, witchy, fantasy, book with elements of mystery as well.

[@SabisNookFantasyAmbience]

This is so cozy 💕

[@ChanelChapters]

I love the way you edit your videos - what program do you use?

[@wendyvilla2904]

💚🖤

[@msellenandrea]

I really enjoyed your getting ready with me ramble :D I hope you find a therapist that fits, anxiety is a bitch!

[@leoraaileen]

thank you 💝
