This may be a weird comment but I honestly love you’re energy! You have such a calm but great vibe and you’re videos are always my go to comfort videos!

Thank you!!

1. Even if you stop making videos please don’t delete your channel - I love rewatching all of your videos! 2. How often do you have to get your lashes done?

[@oliviareadsalatte]

Awh that’s so kind of you 🫶🏻🫢 And I usually go every two weeks for a fill, although I’m debating doing every 3 maybe

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

Toasted white chocolate marshmallow latte sounds delicious omg

[@MyLifeAsJordanRenee]

Okay this probably isn’t as weird of a period symptom but it is for me 😂 I get like either SO angry or SO sad like the kind of sad where I’m bawling and my partner is like what’s wrong and I’m like “I don’t know 😭😭😭” and I’m just inconsolable but it always happens like a week before my period so it never feels like a period symptom but I’m pretty sure it’s some part of the cycle 😂

[@MyLifeAsJordanRenee]

Also bloating is THE WORST. I’m usually very bloated for the first like 36 hours

[@jadelemonade20]

I’m not an emotional person at all so you know I’m about to start my period when I start crying over how much I love a book that I read six months ago😂😭

[@oliviareadsalatte]

okay from what I’ve seen this is the luteal phase and it’s a MESS for a lot of people!

[@melissaguild1859]

Same. Every month, without fail, I get super weepy two days before my period, Everything makes me cry

[@surpriseitsus9622]

Yep, that was typical for me. Sobbing one day, short tempered another. I'm a very mellow, zen person. It's not fun, but we get through it. 🤗

Urgh bloating is the worst, like we already deal with the rivers of hell every month why do we suffer more? haha. Great vlog as always 🍂❤

[@Maroon58]

My symptom is I get insanely hungry like a week before, usually just for a day but I eat non stop lol! I love your channel and your my comfort channel and I literally cheer when I see you uploaded.

[@christy2935]

Phew, I was bored and glad this showed up early today! My weirdest period symptom is a pain in my right thigh like a week before it actually starts. I like the new glasses. Defy the Night was good. I'm actually starting the sequel (it's a trilogy) today. My TBR is almost entirely dictated by library holds, Libby in particular. This month I got a ton of new releases where if I don't read them in time or select deliver later I won't see them again for a long time.

[@oliviareadsalatte]

I’m excited to read it!!

[@Kaitydid_Krixtur]

I excited to pick up my new glasses (first new pair/prescription in 7 yrs)

[@oliviareadsalatte]

Hormones around that time of the month (for me especially two weeks before and like two days into the start of it) will totally make anxiety worse. Like you said in a comment below, we are all doing the best that we can and that is awesome!!! 😃

[@raquelweber3287]

Not really a weird symptom, but around 1-2 weeks before, I start to get mood swings where I'm easily irritated and sometimes I get cramps in my toes, that's sort of weird I guess. Great video Olivia :)

I like both pairs of your glasses. They look nice on you. I have the same headaches you have. The change in the barometric pressure can make my head hurt. I usually feel better after it rains. I take sinus pills. I hope you feel better. Pamper yourself you'll feel better.

If you think the ending in the whispers was shocking wait till you read the push omg I literally threw my book across the room lol it was great

I’m so excited to read that one then!

[@Sarah-ms2kx]

i don't know that my symptom is particularly weird, but maybe ill timed. i cramp and bloat like 2 weeks before, and by bloating, i mean i look about 4 months pregnant. it is SO uncomfortable, tho i am finding that yakult, probiotics, and Inositol help thankfully. also, a day or so before, i have the appetite of a bear, it's like no matter how much i eat, i still need more, i'm talking two dinners, two lunches, snacks in between and before and after, at LEAST. also your day 1 hair looked so pretty!

[@neese96ify]

I'm interested in your glasses girl! I think on my next eye check I'll be getting my Golden Girls Era pair. All the nostalgia literally on my face. Heh. Anyways, also yeah thanks so much for my influencer purchase of Monin coffee syrup. I'm chuffed. Also, allergies - totally blame the weather for those headaches because I get them too & it sucks. Texas weather man, we're in this shitty alley between the weather systems from the west and the east - with zero benefits. Stay strong & give Auntie Flo double middle fingers!

I love the libary as well, but i got the same problem. At home are waiting so many books where I spend money on, so that I always struggle with the time for library books. Mangas and Graphic Novels are great, because they don't need much time and i would never buy them on my own.
