fixing a yucky day through reading & self care | vlogmas day 15

[@allisonpiazza2317]

Reading Little Women for the first time: It's a canon event, we can't interfere.

[@avh907]

The way I am bracing myself.

[@WhittyNovels]

this comment is terrifying me and living in my head lol

[@andawasp]

I genuinely can’t believe you’ve avoided spoilers for little women this long. That’s award worthy

[@WhittyNovels]

LOOLLLL im so scared that now that im invested im gonna see something

[@rimshascorner]

Please continue your vlogs even after Christmas. I love hanging out with you like that.

[@whataprilreads]

Vlogmas is sooo nice. Even on “bad” days you’re just so relatable and seeing such an authentic representation of life and living is a comfort. Hell, you’re even making me wonder if I should read Little Women 😂 so glad to hear this has been a fun 2 weeks for you too

[@WhittyNovels]

this is so kind to hear, thank you ☺️♥️

[@adriana410]

The complete 180 from being "Little Women is boring" to "I'm really liking it" is one of the highlights of this vlogmas.

[@WhittyNovels]

i contain multitudes

[@inhopeworld3]

Whitney you read your book, you cleaned the dishes, prepared food, made dinner, fed you cats, took a bath, interacted with a friend and took your medicine. That’s much more than a 10 min walk and you inspire me 💗

[@WhittyNovels]

stop this is so nice 😭 thank you!!

[@busraanil704]

Whitney I want you to know that I am sweaty CONSTANTLY! Sweat is so normal. My grandmother was visiting from Turkey a couple months ago and I would take her with me on my daily walks and sometimes she would say things like “I’m going to get sweaty” (bc I would make her take the slope routes sorry grandma) and by the end of the trip I convinced her that being sweaty is NORMAL. We embraced being sweaty together and everyone else in the world should too. Doing tasks are supposed to make us sweat its a natural beautiful thing 😌

[@juliemorrow174]

I grew up in a humid climate where the baseline thing you knew about anyone you were talking to was that you were both sweating. Such a culture shock to more to Sydney and someone replied "TMI" when I told them I was sweaty. I don't get the stigma!

[@WhittyNovels]

thank you king dominic 😭♥️

[@kaley_lynn]

Good morning!! New cat mama here and he is such a Gordo fan. Everytime he hears Gordo meow, he responds 🤣 Love your vlogs! Have a great week!

[@WhittyNovels]

awwwww how cute!!

[@alisonfabi1081]

i genuinely get a boost of serotonin every single day when i see that you posted, I LOVE IT HERE also side note, it's the way i've been thinking about starting a booktube channel but i always feel like i'm not good enough on top of all my other insecurities :(( but every time i watch your vlogs i just feel so validated bc we're so similar and it makes me feel like i can take on the world skdjskfs idk i just really appreciate you whitney and i hope you continue to have a good time

[@WhittyNovels]

make a booktube!! i’d watch

[@adrianna2079]

My older sister and I have been watching you for years at this point and we were beyond excited when you came back and now vlogmas has been such a treat 😩❤️

[@majaflower5862]

girl, your curls are curling in the last clip 🤩🤩🤩

[@erinmariecece]

I know you had plans to read more Christmas books during vlogmas, but I’m honestly loving the nightly little women update throughout the month, a very cozy book for a very cozy time.

[@WhittyNovels]

i knew i saved it for this season for a reason!

[@keelinover5584]

girl i have never looked around your videos to find dirt you are ok. as if we would expect you to be perfectly clean. i'm happy you've been enjoying uploading because i have been enjoying watching!

[@WhittyNovels]

♥️♥️♥️

[@georgien9119]

im so jealous of you being able to read little women without spoilers. i've been spoiled on the ending for so long that i've never bothered to read it, but watching you read it lets me live vicariously through you, so thank you

[@alexafiera5482]

omg, more daily vlogs from you would be the best thing🥰♥️ I vote yes if you feel like it’s something doable and that brings you joy 😊

[@livforreading]

Your vlogs were a comfort to me in high school and continue to be now that I’m stuck ~adulting~ thank you for keeping us fed w content!!

[@Bdvi013]

Love love love your videos! Finally commenting after years of silently watching your channel, but I wanted to thank you for this special corner of the internet ❤❤

[@WhittyNovels]

thanks for saying hi!! happy to have you here

[@PattyCampbell]

I watch these every day during my lunch break at work, and it seriously gives me a boost for the rest of the day! Continuing daily vlogs would be amazing! Just don’t burn yourself out. Have an awesome week and have fun reading! ❤

[@oliviarivera4415]

I'm so happy to hear that you're enjoying vlogging daily! This is one of the very few things that makes me happy every single day. Thank you!!!

[@kennedygifford5966]

I usually watch these before bed instead of when you upload them because you taking your nightly meds helps me remember mine lol your routine is creating my routine

[@awkwardkiwi]

Thank you for the videos Whitney, I've been enjoying watching them as I get ready for work in the morning (in New Zealand)

[@bluesunflower13]

Just a big thank you for doing this. Your videos have brought so much comfort to me during this season, which can be fun but also chaotic and overwhelming. Even though you said it wasn’t a Herculean effort, it is such a big undertaking so thank you for doing this. I’m also so happy that you’re enjoying yourself so much too!

[@laurenromero5961]

These vlogs are keeping me goinggggg this holiday season!

[@Magpiee2010]

I am so grateful for these videos!! Please finish Little Women because I NEED your thoughts. I really think you’ll love it, start to finish!

[@0supertini0]

I read Little Women for the first time this year as well (after watching the movie). I am so excited to see what you’ll say about the second part. Also: loving vlogmas, I have been watching your videos since around 2014 and you are a comfort youtuber for me :)

[@nicolem7150]

I've been kicking off every evening by ignoring my christmas-prep to-do list and watching your latest vlog. So instead of calling it procrastinating I've just added "watch whitney's vlog" to my list. Thanks for helping me be productive!!!

[@devonpatterson_]

Just want to say thank you for doing vlogmas this year. Your videos are so chill and I have been looking forward to watching them everyday.

[@laurenstobb7453]

I promise you I have never once judged your space or you while watching your vlogs. I'm happy you're having fun with it because watching them has been helping me decompress from stressful days teaching middle school 😅 lol

[@WhittyNovels]

this is so reassuring to hear! tysm!

[@AJo930]

Hues and Cues is my newest obsession played it once at a Friendsgiving party. Such a fun game.

[@allykrause2401]

The amount of sweat I produce while performing the simplest household tasks is honestly criminal so I felt this in my soul

[@WhittyNovels]

don’t get me started on mopping

[@WitchRocks]

Everyday Whitty uploads is another day I have to convince myself to not drop what I am reading and read Little Women again instead. Loving Volgmas!!!

[@deborahalice]

So glad you are finding joy in the routine - there are times in our lives where it is just so important to have that. Lots of love! (Also your home outfit of the green crop top and pink shorts?! ADORABLE)

[@WhittyNovels]

thank you!!

[@MK33333]

I LOVE all the cat content we're getting

[@annikasimpson5304]

I love these videos, even if you’re just sitting around the house! I look forward to them every day

[@becklebooks]

I dislike being sweaty and walking, but I figure if I'm doing things that are good for my health, heck yeah I'm gonna shower twice in a day. I know you didn't get a walk in today but good on you for going on an extra long one yesterday! The swing looked calming too. :)

[@borderlinereader]

I just wanted to say how much I've been enjoying these daily updates from you, I look forward to the vlogs always!! So as much as you're treasuring the experience, I hope you know it's the same for us viewers 🥰 If you love Jo in the books, then you need to watch the 2019 Little Women movie as well, which I think does a spectacular job of that character especially!

[@aerikaj]

A tip from someone who hates doing dishes, parchment paper on your sheet pan. Makes cleanup loads easier. Loving your vlogs. 🤗

[@WhittyNovels]

im such a messy chef that my food always ends up leaking onto the pan anyway hahaha but no biggie! dishes to wash means i had a home cooked meal :)

[@colleenhanson3284]

Hearing you talk about nostalgia and little women really makes me think you’ll like A Tree Grows In Brooklyn. I mentioned in another comment I’m hesitant to recommend it after having a friend not like it, but it’s such a good story and I think you would love the main character and seeing her story from childhood to young adulthood.

[@WhittyNovels]

i heard a few comments like this!! i’m excited

[@gabyflores6344]

Just popping in that I’ve been loving your vlogmas vids and that I binge them on saturdays while eating breakfast 😅

[@WhittyNovels]

love that!!

[@graynovemberreads]

so proud of you queen 🫶🏻 you took time for yourself, and you were still productive and killin' it at vlogmas 🫶🏻

[@lynseyb7221]

I dont want vlogmas to end!!!

[@abbyswaringam3386]

Yesss I've been loving vlogmas too!

[@crappyalien]

vlogmas has been so much fun! love all the kitty content and these videos always feel like a FaceTime with a friend lol I usually watch these as I'm getting ready for the day so I don't take my antidepressants I take my ✨️adderrall✨️

[@sailortwips]

I missed my daily walk yesterday too, my routine was a little mixed up so I completely forgot until I'd already showered for the night :/ BUT! I don't feel discouraged and like a failure like I usually do when I falter on a habit so that's progress ☺️ 💜💜

[@tylleet]

so happy to see u enjoying vlogmas, ive gotten so into the daily routine of whittyvlogmas at 3pm with my lunch

[@jreadingbooks]

Your uploads have been making my day!

[@librarianlirael]

💜 I'm so happy for you that you're enjoying your book now

[@mccorn75]

Way to go! I’m glad you are enjoying daily vlogging. No spoilers from me, but I’m wishing I read along with you because I haven’t read Little Women before.Enjoy!

[@itsannalewis]

So many thoughts: don’t threaten me with a good time re:continuing this type of content, loved the bonnie highlight and that she recorded that clip for us (honestly shout out to bonnie and her consistency), I really hope you get to finish Little Women before christmas so you can enjoy the movie with Saorise Ronan as Jo before!!!

[@charityslibrary]

This was SO helpful for me sitting in bed at 11:50 and having 0 motivation and having tons housewise to do. Thanks for your honesty 💕 i really really appreciate it and its one of my favorite things about your videos!

[@WhittyNovels]

of course!!

[@passmethatbook]

I dinged awake at 8 this morning but I totally feel you about staying and doing nothing. Adulting sucks! 😞

[@BonnieAyn]

gordo getting the chicken over rosie feels like a parallel incorrect universe

[@thynameisjoy]

Amazing, I searched for your channel just as it posted 😂❤

[@oongleyoo]

sitting here watching this while procrastinating on my final paper of the semester :’) motivation who??

[@WhittyNovels]

you got this!

[@sashabsanti]

I haven't read the book but I've seen the newest movie and all I can say is I CANNOT wait for you to watch it!!

[@starryeyederin]

love these vlogs so much! 🩷🩷

[@sinaseas]

watching someone read little women for the first time is so crazy i need you to finish it so bad i want to hear everything about your experience

[@WhittyNovels]

hahahhaa everyone is holding their breath and to see me read part 2 and im scared

[@matuin-x5k]

I had a shit say, and was looking forward to your video today and it did not disappoint! Thank you, you are such a ray of sunshine

[@WhittyNovels]

hope you’re feeling better! ♥️

[@mylittlebooknook]

I'm adding Little Women to my 2025 tbr, I've always been nervous because it is so beloved but you've convinced me!

[@falkoreads]

💞💕💞💕💞💕💞 loving vlogmas

[@natassa9297]

I love seeing you happy

[@tronishariggle9558]

Been loving your videos!!! ❤

[@clarifyrobinson]

If you’re looking for a healthier sweet treat, I’ve been loving frozen banana “ice cream” lately. If you chop up ripe bananas and freeze them and then blend them it results in a creamy ice cream like texture but it’s just bananas! You can add anything else to make it more yummy, like nut butter, cocoa powder, berries, etc. I would highly recommend! I find that it gives me that “sweet treat” feeling and I feel better knowing that it’s mostly just fruit.

[@WhittyNovels]

i did this all the time a few years ago but with frozen strawberries and making “sorbet”!

[@charlenex6096]

Zoloft has me sweating 24/7 - despite being a sweaty gal before starting it, now I’m an ~ extra ~ sweaty gal

[@WhittyNovels]

i cant stop thinking about this comment. ive been sweaty constantly lately, i feel so seen lol

[@ambern2842]

0:06 I thought it was one of the cats 😮😂

[@WhittyNovels]

omg 💀 nope just my stuffed animal :)

[@ErinEPeterson1]

Not me thinking you should just become a daily Vlogger. Imma be real emo when Vlogmas is over. Or I’m sure your adoring public would settle for weekly vlogs, you know, if we’re making sacrifices here 😂😂

[@WhittyNovels]

at this point my coworkers are used to me whipping out my phone to record my lunch or me typing so 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@oksnariel]

i’m not having a good time right now *sees whitney uploaded* ACTUWALLY i’m having a RWEALLY good time right now

[@WhittyNovels]

LMAO

[@annajo6576]

GIRL i thought that was gordo you were manhandling at the beginning, not your stuffed animal 😂😂

[@BooksToAshes]

I’m not a classic girly but you’re tempting me to try Little Women now!

[@WhittyNovels]

join me!!!

[@BooksToAshes]

@ don’t do this to me, I’m in the middle of 3 books I need assistance not MORE books!

[@kyra8138]

Day 15 babyyyy!!

[@WhittyNovels]

let’s gooooooo

[@heyitsgabs21]

its wild that back in the day there were things like vedif and veda that im pretty sure some of the top creators on this site these days have no idea even existed

[@lalita1127]

I actually have that same copy of Little Women and the pictures being in the wrong place annoys me so much. They're such nice illustrations tho

[@WhittyNovels]

seriously!!! who designed it 😭😭😭

[@heyitsgabs21]

i joined my sisters gym this week. now i gotta lay off the sweet treats though.

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

Okay but that trail mix sounds like my kinda trail mix 😂

[@WhittyNovels]

RIGHT?

About the Patreon idea, if you want to do it you should. My only probably with people who have Patreon is when the person with it makes it feel like you're missing content because you don't have enough money to support them on top of supporting yourself.

[@WhittyNovels]

totally hear you! my channel would stay the exact same but only with bonus content (more unedited/lightly edited style) on the side. and i’m not sure when/if it’ll start, so i have more thinking to do on it! appreciate your feedback :)
