Holiday Vlog: shopping for gifts, baking, chatting about books

[@queens6583]

Adding the garland to your fireplace was perfect. I think your hair looks beautiful without the extensions , besides they can't be good for your natural hair. That chair is going to be the go to chair for everyone who visit you. That's if Jonni lets them sit down. After New Year's we can all relax and get our emotional and physical strength back. Keep warm.

[@BabyEvee]

Reads, well spoken, has a cat, looks like a goddess yup we have a new favourite youtuber right there

[@victtayl]

Your hair looks the best it’s ever looked! Love the curls!

[@Sophie-bv1jf]

Yay you posted!! I always look forward to your vlogs :) Omg you're hair looks gorgeous curly/wavy. I had no idea it looked like that without the extensions. Also I'm moving into my first solo apartment and I can't wait to use your place as inspiration for decorating 🤗

[@brittanywitmartin4024]

yes!! i legit had to take four whole days to myself to recover from being around so many people for a couple days straight for christmas. completely zapped my available energy

[@lindsey_isla]

I started following you around the beginning of 2024 and your videos were all snowy and cosy, so watching this vlog felt like such a lovely full-circle moment. The chair looks gorgeous, I do think it takes a while to get used to new furniture or furniture rearrange. I always move stuff around and then immediately hate it. Sending so much love and Happy New Year! x

[@cloudhaver]

You look so amazing in these clips- I love the natural hair! I love these relaxing vlogs.

[@thejoneslounge]

I love how you showcase how beautiful my hometown is! We live in Burlington, ON now.. but 15 years ago (to the day) on New Year’s Eve.. my husband and I got engaged when I was living in Osborne village (one of the many wonderful neighbourhoods in the Peg)! This was a lovely tribute to the city I love! Happy new year!

[@BarbaraBoholm]

Lauren first i love your hair!!! And i am in love with your place,your books,your furniture and because you let it take time decorating it grows into this cozy haven,so inspiring and lovely to see💖🍣🍜🌮☕🥧🫖🍵🍷🕯📓🖋📚Sending you lots of warm hugs all the way from Sweden into the new year🎉🎊🌠

[@HannaGierzynskaZalewska]

Madame bovary is such a classic (at least in European culture) I remember reading it as a young girl (it was on our list of books at school)

[@amalia_storm]

I love your curly hair! Looks amazing. For me Christmas can be fun but at the same time overwhelming 😂

[@honey_power]

your coat is adorable! i love the pacing of your videos, they're so cozy

[@Bli-bc5ej]

If you have time could you maybe talk about places that you like (bookshops, specialty grocery stores, cafes, etc) in Winnipeg? The city looks so cute!!

[@iraaa-wng]

I also live in Winnipeg and it’s lovely to see the city through your perspective!

[@renslog]

this vlog felt like a warm hug on a cold winter day.

[@dontatme319]

the new apartment is SO cute! going to be so lovely in summer light 🙏

[@melizes83]

OMGGGG your hair looks so perfect at the beginning of your vlog there

[@kalynngraceo]

Omg your natural hair is beautiful!!

[@flynngilmore2883]

The Coin was one of my favorite books of the year! I got the author's email from a coworker and was able to reach out and tell her how much I loved it and her response was so kind! Definitely recommend :)

[@structureoflight]

that gia margaret album is so great for winter ❤. thank you for sharing your reads w/ us

[@kurzy_q]

Any chance you'll be doing an updated apartment tour soon? It's slowly coming together and looks so good! Noticed you got a new sideboard too!

[@hollyholly27-]

Omg your curly hair looks amazing! ❤

[@lauramarazzi1012]

The coziest vlog for the coziest time of year!

[@Claudia_K.]

Oh I loved „Small things like these“! Soon to be a movie I heard, with Cillian Murphy.

[@quisait]

I'm reading "Welcome to Hyunam-dong Bookshop" right now, and I'm loving it. I think that or Madame Bovary.

[@saikagyaru]

Wowwww! Looks so good. Reminds me of the actress shannyn sossaman from Knight's tale! Saurrr cute!!!!!🎉

[@rikki1917]

I also just picked up Hurricane Season while visiting Mexico City a couple weeks ago! Haven't started yet, but looking forward to it

[@Jaiem_]

The snow looks so magical! ❄️

[@suetaylor]

The chair is perfect! I now have chair goals. Jamaica Inn is by far my favourite Du Maurier book.

[@SavidgeReads]

Hope you had a wonderful Christmas with your family. Christmas can be so much fun but soooo draining. Lol. Love that edition of the Du Maurier she’s soooooo good. I really want to read The Coin. Thanks for all the fab content in 2024. Wishing you a fabulous 2025!

[@devvv7]

Your hair looks so nice! Natural is always better❤ I love it curly

[@RuebenNomura]

Aloha that was a good shopping holiday vlog and ready for new year eve 2025

[@MeanderingMeagan4]

oooh! Your hair looks amazing!

[@Masakog7]

Your coat and orange garland!!!! Obsessed!!!!❤

[@InedibleWoman]

Robertson Davies is such a fantastic Canadian writer!! Very excited to hear your thoughts on Fifth Business :)

[@VanessaButtino]

I watched the film adaptation of Small Things Like These last night and absolutely loved it. Now I really want to read the book

[@thescarediest]

The book is so good!

[@katiehope2132]

Oh I completely understand the ginormity of modern furniture. I ordered a couch and when i put it all together, the lengthy paired with the depth overwhelmed me. I ended up shipping it back which was a huge hassle but definitely worth it for the reduced visual clutter!

[@KatMarie]

love your hair natural!

[@sahelahajani7236]

oh my god i.'m rewatching gilmore girls too. 😂 it has such a cozy wintery vibe .and i just ordered hurricane season . 😅

[@BootsBauer-tq4uu]

That chair is deliciously comfy looking then w/ Joanie in it, pure purrfection🩷

[@洁洁洁]

i love that music！！！❤❤❤❤

[@kaminis.3312]

Happy holidays, Lauren! Looking forward to your thoughts on The Coin :)

[@sallieschuetz1796]

Is that a new shoulder bag……it’s AWESOME !

[@cindyo6298]

I love the high ceilings, I don't think I can live in a low ceiling house again after living in one with high ceilings. It makes winters bearable.

[@mahsa065]

Shopping at Indigo indirectly supports military actions against Palestinians. I tried adding a link to an article, but KZbin won't allow.

[@bethgolden8206]

Wow someone has some serious antisemitism. Support small independent bookstores for sure. Stop spreading hate and false narrative. You are part of the problem ! Do you understand that ?@mahsa065

[@ivy.witxh222]

love your hair! wish I had curls like that 😢❤

[@uxuesarobe6415]

hope you like Hurricane season! idk about the translation, but the original version in Spanish is incredible

[@buttermillk16]

I read "People in My Neighborhood" earlier this year. It was really enjoyable! Would recommend :)

[@k1ttydracoxx]

Love ❤ from Japan ❤Happy Holidays

[@probablycryinginbed]

claire keegan is so good❤

[@samg.7172]

Hurricane season is really shocking. I read it in Spanish,so I don’t now how much the translation changed, but I’m curious about your opinion once you read it!

[@jeannedavid89]

Hi Lauren! Really love your content :) Do you have any place where you give all your book recommendations? Would be so nice!

[@apiletcky]

Waiting a review for Butter 😊happy holidays 🎉

[@katerina6228]

Interested to hear your thoughts on the Didion & Babitz. As a fan of both I was very disappointed. Gossipy to the point of cruelty, especially on Didion's expense and I think Anolik really stretched the extent of the women's relationship to suit the book's conceit. Better off reading her Babitz bio "Hollywood's Eve" or listening to her podcast on the Bennington writers.

[@allisonli9943]

where is the bag at 1:04 from.... omg

[@amyfaurote1488]

Happy New Year!!!!! At least I'm hoping for a happy new year. Ugh. Great vlog. I'd read the Joan Didion book first. I believe I butchered her last name. Oops peace 🕊️

[@caras4766]

This was a lovely video. Your hair looks absolutely gorgeous, and I love the chair and the orange garlands. Also, Joni was so adorable sleeping under your legs in that one shot. I'd love you to read Didion & Babitz first as I'd love to hear your thoughts!

[@wiwilolo7029]

Love u from Morocco 🇲🇦 ❤

[@je0nspectro]

Casi no entiendo lo que dice, pero me gusta ver sus videos, son tan relajantes

[@kimcorriveau8188]

Where did you buy your chair from? I need a big comfy reading chair...would you recommend? Thanks!

[@radio_ghost]

I love all things Claire Keegan, she's such a tremendous storyteller. I just read Hurricane Season and it is brutal. I think it's important to tell difficult stories like this, and Melchor's writing is phenomenal. Just be prepared for some extremely despicable characters and events. Also, I think a lot of people go into it thinking it's going to be about witchcraft or like a modern day fable about a witch (something akin to Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead). It is not. Still, highly recommended read.

[@leenbakrikasbah88]

Your hair looks stunning! What products did you use?

[@Roter_reis]

Hey Lauren :) I would love to see a music recommendations video ^^ you seem to have a very nice taste, or do you have Spotify?

[@pigeonbaby-]

Yayy Lauren!!

[@greenahan4438]

I like your BGM, It would be perfect If you could let us know the BGM 🥰

[@NolanLindsay-e1i]

Thanks for the forecast! I have a quick question: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How can I transfer them to Binance?

[@louist91art]

13:08 did you watch the movie of this book? released this year with cillian murphy in the cast

[@kaitlinng7997]

Hey Lauren! Indigo is on the boycott list! Just letting you know

[@FelisaMontenegro]

I need to read Destin Babitz! Cheers to 2025 ✨

[@wiwilolo7029]

The coin book first

[@Fragilexangxl]

[@nat-nat-nat-nat]
