cleaning my room on some cold autumn nights // dark academia bedroom

Thank you so much for being here! You are deeply appreciated.
I spent a few autumn evenings organizing and deep cleaning my sanctuary. Messy spaces really hold me back from fully being present, so this was an important task, which is why I brought you along with me! I hope you can pick up that chore you've been putting off or just feel a little less stressed about it through watching my process.
Please leave a comment, I love hearing from such nice people!
I will be back VERY soon to bring you a dark academia lookbook that is a bit more moody! I cannot wait!

This is a video I was questioning the entire way through creating it. I kept pulling myself back, telling myself nobody wants to see this content, that people will leave my channel disappointed. But I had to just do it and get back on the right track with videos. Even though it is a chill, mundane video, I hope it still entertains you, calms you, motivates you. Whatever you need.

[@chelseamgray23]

I have to say, I was looking forward to a new video, no matter what the video would be! I started following your channel when you were at like 6k i think, and now you're at 15k! I can imagine that growth occurring in such a short amount of time comes with a lot of pressure. But just know that your new subbies, including myself- subbed to your channel not only for the dark withy content & your aeshetic, but also your personality & your vibe as a whole! I'll watch whatever you post, so keep them coming girl! :)

[@vedacorvus]

@@chelseamgray23 omg crying a little haha that is so reassuring and sweet of you to say. Thank you 🖤

[@blanaidmai1600]

I quite like more chill vibes videos at the moment especially with everything going on at the moment it’s nice to sit back and relax and get some motivation to be productive 😊 Looking forward to the next video !

[@a.s.223]

This is exactly the content I needed today! You are such a talented filmmaker and a huge inspiration to me when it comes to witchcraft. Keep on going girl! Greetings from a German fellow witch. 🔮🖤

[@OKshesagail]

This is exactlyyyy what I needed🙌🏻 since I have ADHD organizing just doesn’t come naturally to me and all of the other cleaning and organizing only you tubers just seem unrealistic and stress me out even more. Loved seeing a KZbin I already love, show how you go about this. A realistic room that’s not all stark white, step by step, making your lists, little task at a time, I loved this. Thank you for taking the time to make it❤️

[@apriltrevino6242]

That’s it I’m painting my room green and beige 🤣

"She talks to me like I'm going to listen..." - Your cat :3

[@vedacorvus]

😂 very true.

[@Rat-Fiend]

i can't even begin to tell you how much i love watching people clean their room. something about it is so soothing and motivating. off topic but where did you buy the lamp that's on your sidetable?? it's so cute ;u;

[@zoezoee]

It is called mosaic table lamp.I hope you can find it

[@516wanderlust]

You’re at 15k now! 🍂🍁

[@516wanderlust]

I sobbed at that last episode and my heart still breaks when I think about Jamie.

[@mothkitti]

for the stuck candles - maybe put the candle holders in boiling water if they're rust safe, that should melt the wax after some time :)

[@ellabonaldi]

or put them in the freezer, then pry the wax out with a knife!

[@harimaaich9953]

OMG I kept checking if there was a new video every week and watching your old ones to be in the dark/aesthetic mood 🤣 im so excited

[@vedacorvus]

I’ve been trying to upload at least once a week, but I got a little behind! Thanks for coming back! 🖤

[@juliewager3553]

seeing you owning some of the same books as me(i.e. the witch's way and out of love) actually makes me ridiculously happy.

[@scorphyn4683]

Your videos are so calming! I suffer from seasonal depression, and coming back to relaxing videos like these really helps me keep my mental health on track

[@caitlinm3449]

Easiest way to pop out the wax - put the candle holder in the freezer. When the wax freezes it contracts, and you can really just pop it out with a knife once it's frozen!

[@Elysian777]

When you arrange candles, books, etc you are arranging energies. So that is the compulsion to 'get it right' for you. Always take your time.

[@The_Super_NOVA]

Didn't bother seeing if anyone else suggested this but just in case no one did, an easy way to remove candles from jars and things they've attached to is to put the whole thing in the freezer for a day. Then all the wax should fall right out. Be careful with the glass, though, because it will be extra fragile when frozen. Also, I use bits of leftover wax to make new candles. I have an Innovations wax melter.

[@ashleywoods1617]

My hair was very frizzy as a child until I learned that my hair is curly. It's still a little frizzy, but at least I have curls now. Congrats on 15K!!!

[@SCompton4]

This video is so nice and cozy 🍂🖤 I don’t know if this makes sense but I felt like this inspired me in a gentle and realistic way for myself in how I can tackle cleaning and organizing my own space. And if you still need help with that candle stick, I’ve had that happen to my mine multiple times. I don’t know if this is the best way to do it but I firstly break off the outer chunks (like you were doing in this video), then I get something pointing (like the prong of a fork or something like a metal toothpick) to try and go around the inside edge and loosen the wax in one piece as best I can. Then I remove the chunk I loosened with said pointy tool and start cleaning out what remaining wax I can with that same tool. I then clean the candlestick by running hot water over it thoroughly, and possibly with soap as well (or whichever cleaning product is appropriate for the type of metal your working with. My candle stick is brass and often just using hot water seems to be fine as long as I dry it right away. I usually do a quick dowse with cooler water so I can handle the metal after.) Writing this out seems like a lot 😅 but I’m a pretty slow person and it’s actually fairly simple for me.

[@Litteratii]

This was so unbelievably helpful, you have no idea. I have been in the same place, and it's really really nice to know I'm not alone and this pushed me to do things even though I don't feel up to it. I think a lot of content pushes the idea that one day you wake up totally happy & healed and able to take on the mountain of things you couldn't do, when in reality, that expectation just makes it all the more daunting. Being real about not having motivation, but having courage like you do, to get up and do it anyway is really inspiring, thank you. Please never apologize for being authentic. Sending you love and light. 💕💕

[@Lina-ye7jv]

wow, this motivated me to get up, make myself coffee and go clean up, thank you so much!

[@ChokotouReiki]

I don't normally watch cleaning videos but I actually watched it all the way through. It was definitely inspiring and therapeutic. My room can look like a mess at times so watching someone else clean their room can be a motivational way for someone who just doesn't find the joy in cleaning their room. Thank you for this.

[@lisanzaa]

u inspire me so much! ive always liked dark academia and already do some stuff of it and ur the reason i started loving it! ty for that because now im not messy which is a big difference in me and also ur cat is soo cute!

[@THT14]

For the candle holders you'll need; a bucket*, an old towel and boiling water. - Remove as much wax by hand as possible before beginning. - Hold one end with the towel and SLOWLY pour boiling water on it, over the bucket. The wax will melt off gradually. - Wipe clean/off the holder with the towel afterwards. - Repeat until the desired result. - Extra step, polish the holder with corresponding polish. I don't know if that explains it well enough, but that's how we do it in restaurants with the metal candlesticks all the time. *Use a bucket or something similar to this, you do NOT want wax down the drain and clog it all up.

[@jonandrews6698]

About the wax in the candle holder, try pouring boiling water over the wax. That's what I tend to do with my candle holders, and it works like a charm!

[@EmilyKatee13]

One of my ultimate comfort videos and channels, sending love 🤎🖤

[@marraskuun]

You just made me feel like I WANT to clean. Thank you. ❤

[@sarahdactyl4340]

Put that candle holder in the freezer! Once it freezes it should pop right out

[@Maryam-cv6wp]

when i say i love your channel i mean i am IN LOVE, theres this sense of peacefulness i always get when i watch your videos, theyre absolutely wonderful and words cant express how much i love your channel and your videos, you and everything about you have this vibe that just make you feel like everything is right in the world. i cant wait to watch you and your channel grow. xx

[@vedacorvus]

thank you so much, lovely 🥺🖤

Room goals ⭐️

[@glitterwizard4265]

This was both relaxing and motivating

[@frtbx6686]

Ugh this video was so peaceful

[@ShaNickaa]

yessss new video! this seems super relaxing and exactly what i need for my own chill Saturday night in!!!!!🥰

[@magickalmedicinal]

an easy trick for candles is you could pop your holder in the oven on very low heat like 200 degrees Fahrenheit for like 1o minutes and you can check on it in-between the wax should melt right out! if you get a paper towel with some nail polish remover or isopropyl alcohol and wipe it out it will take the grimy ness off and your good to go! if you don't want to use an oven you can use something smaller like a conventional oven. you can also take a heat gun and melt it out! if you don't have a heat gun a blow dryer is a good alternative and you can literally blow dry melt the wax and again wipe it out with polish remover or isopropyl alcohol!! honestly I recommend getting a heat gun you can fine good and affordable ones on amazon! they make smaller handheld ones too which are really useful! if you don't want to use any heat sometimes I take my athame and scrape it out! once you get a little bit out the rest usually follows! I hope that helps! happy witching :)

[@eloisechalifour7532]

Your video gives me such calm vibes ✨ Thank you

[@stopbeingana-hole4151]

I LOVE your room-so beautiful and cozy!

[@radhadas8157]

Everything looks so pretty! It is nice that you took your time because it looks perfect. Now I am in the mood to clean and rearrange mine!

[@vesi_2546]

Omg its so lovely! I really love your vibe!

[@evelyn36fudyh]

such a beautiful video! you really inspire my content. I've been into dark academia for 3 years now and I'm so excited to see new content on youtube for it!

[@stubmow1567]

First off October 12th is my birthday so I'm taking that as a sign! Second, I LOVE your room, and noticed we have so many of the same books and decor and this really helped motivate me to clean my own room which Ive also been putting off for weeks (months). Thank you so much- Instant sub.

[@elaren3602]

i absolutely adore your videos you have such a soothing persona and for the stuck candle wax you can put it in the freezer to make it easier to pop it out

[@stravly2866]

This video inspired me to clean and organize my room too, something which I haven't done in a bit since being stuck in a rut so thanks for making this. I watched it while I cleaned!

[@jadeadriana5182]

I literally *just* found your channel and am obsessed with your amazing content. I didn't even know what dark academia was and you've just helped me find my aesthetic, thank you so much🖤

[@cheryl1338]

A tip on getting the wax out of candle holders is to put the holder in the freezer - once it's frozen the wax gets brittle and is easy to break up (sometimes it shrinks enough to just pop out without even breaking it up). This is much easier and less messy than trying to melt it in a pot of hot water. Love the video, now I'm inspired to rearrange my bookcase!

[@panizsalehi1968]

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO DO THISSSS!!!

[@dazey8706]

this was wonderful and really calmed me after a stressful college application phase i love your content :)

[@patrice1016]

I've been waiting for a new video since the last one you uploaded!!😂💕 I love your channel and your style so so so much

[@graym00n]

I loved this video, for some reason it was just really cozy & satisfying to watch. Also, you seem to be such a sweet person!

[@Eccabrex]

Love your videos!! I also decorate very slowly and switch things around a millions times.

[@jessi5924]

I watched it! I loved the series and even though I didn't feel scared of the show, I actually had dreams about the main ghost lady.

[@vedacorvus]

Yes! I kept seeing humanlike figures in my periphery because there are sooo many in the show!

[@paigeelise5421]

simply lovely

[@phoebegraveyard7225]

You get wax out by immersing the candleholder in boiling water if it can handle being soaked for a bit, the wipe with a rag to remove residue

[@radhadas8157]

Put the holders under the faucet, let the water run till it is the hottest it will go. Let it run for a few minutes then turn off the water and let it sit for a few minutes. Take a butter or not sharp knife and pop it out. Most of the time it just comes out and is floating on the top.

[@jules.e279]

that lamp you have on your bedside table is awesome

[@vedacorvus]

Thanks! It’s a Turkish lamp

[@LittleAileen]

I looked at your desk and GASPED, omg it’s beautiful 🥺

[@parsleybeckett6335]

for the candlestick holders with wax stuck inside, if theyre non pourous then soak them in boiling water the wax should melt and float to the surface leaving clean candlestick holders

[@juliadaisymaygeraldes]

Girl you’re just like me. Cleaning is a struggle but when I get in the mood to clean, I... ✨tweak✨ if you will.

[@SarandipityStudios]

I love your wall color!!! So awesome that it came with the house, I'm renting so can't paint. For candles, stick in the freezer🕯Another lovely video! Congrats on 15k! 🌼

[@katpricot]

10k is huge!! seriously, congrats!! i love your channel!!

[@drewsurgenor2269]

Stick your candle stick in the fridge for an hour or too, then use the end of a spoon or something that will fit to scoop it out :) x

[@Spotter22ful]

Super chill video! I love it :)

[@Domilyons]

You had me at vetiver, cedar and oud!!!!

[@sirena7811]

Your room is so nice honestly. Definitely putting the color scheme in a dark academia color pallet video coming up.

[@kel682]

Awwww the kitty

[@moonmaiden13]

You are so gorgeous and your content is beautiful. I hope you are proud of your channel! ✨🤗

[@LeiaRipley]

Omg I had the same blanket when I was a baby and I still have it too ! Ahah Love your videos ✨

[@kristaskene5678]

maybe someone already said this, but you can put candle holders in the freezer and then it comes out easier. I use a butter knife to chip it out if it doesn't just pop out.

[@pastasgunnakillme]

For all the melted candle bits, you could melt all of it down (in a pot) and then pour it into a jar then add a wick or paddle pop stick to turn it into another candle. Best to find a heat safe jar or an empty candle jar, that way you don’t risk the glass breaking 💕

[@mackenzie2997]

Just in case you ever need the assurance, remember that there is a witch/poet in Australia who has a big fat crush on you [it's me, I have a crush on you]

[@shelbymcree8034]

For the candles stuck inside of the candle holders: try to light them for a bit (or heat them another way if there is no wick), then put the holder in the freezer. The wax should pop right out! It can work if you just freeze them without heating the wax. It just might be a bit harder to get the wax out. You may need to use a knife.

[@Sunaiki]

For the wax, what I do when it happens to me, I put the candle holder in boiling water and wait for the wax to melt. It's probably not the best way to do it but it's the only way I know and it always worked for me. I'm not gonna lie, it's a bit of a mess. You also have to chek if the hot water isn't going to damage the candle holder. Anyway, thank you for the relaxing vidéo !! I really needed it

[@Sunaiki]

Oh and of course, don't put the wax down the sink. Not really good for the environnement (it will depends on the candles you use) but you can also block the pipes.

[@sarahc4004]

My go to cleaning motivation is a Studio Ghibli soundtrack so I can feel like Kiki or Sophie.

[@amyvaccaro2761]

Cute room! Bly Manor was definitely sad. I bawled last episode too when I figured out what was going on. Not just you at all... lol

Ahhh First of all Gorgeous your at 15k i was here when you had just 450 subs✨ I'm so so proud Of you Love Ya and anything you put out im here Love ya V 💛✨🍂🍁

[@vedacorvus]

Thank you! Xx

[@wakefulwitch]

my mom told me the trick of freezing your items that have wax stuck on them to hopefully contract the wax loose from the item. I've only done it with plates and jars! Try it if you haven't already figured it out lol

[@fleur6615]

to get out candle wax i usually us a skewer to poke into the middle and it helps loosen up the wax

[@tempestates13]

For your candle holders, I read you can use a pot on the stove or put them in the oven for 15 min. I've done the oven bit twice and it works.

[@lucybriggs6595]

Thank you for supplying the ~vibes~ also for the candles you can put them in the freezer overnight and they should come out more easily the next day with a spoon or butterknife? I have done this before with a glass candleholder!

[@raphynette]

I don’t know whether you’ve already made a video about this but I’m very interested in knowing which kind of tarot decks you use and which are your favorites!

[@sjmsutherland]

Hello from a fellow witch from Manchester UK!! Great video, I feel inspired to get my bum into gear and finally try and tidy up!! I've been watching your videos for a while now and I've now I'm subscribed!! Hopefully one day I'll have a few subies on my channel!! I'm in love with your room, the colour and vibe is amazing!!!xx

[@blebrokolo4863]

In order to get the candle out of any container you should fill it up with boiled water and let it sit until cold. You could also use these candles in the jar to make a new one by just melting them and adding a new wick. :)

[@annamarker8760]

I agree that The Haunting of Bly Manor last episode was really sad. I loved the whole series and also Haunting of Hill House.

[@54321Adela]

You can just warm up that part, where the wax is (over a lighter or a stronger flame), and that should take care of that stuck candle bit.

[@arianagee573]

You should make a video where you experiment with making your own candles from the old wax, my mom used to do that all the time because she didn't like throwing out the extra wax either

[@DianaBelikova]

Hi! For the candle holders - put them on a plate with baking paper and get a blow dryer. The hot air will melt the wax, then clean and polish. And DO NOT TUCH without gloves while still hot!!!

[@lexismith7350]

I love all your videos 🥺🧡 this video couldn’t of been posted at a better time! I was cleaning while you were lol. It worked out so nice. Am I the only one who has to watch something or have background noise on while cleaning?

[@Miwakolove]

I just subs a few days ago! i like ur videos

[@dilipshankarsaikia5586]

I want to have so many books :)

I always use a butter knife to get the Wachs out 😊

[@luvitrbs]

Wanted to help this queen out by not skipping the double ads. Got through the first one. BUT the second one was 8 MINUTES LONG!!! Sorry, i have failed in my mission... lol

[@vedacorvus]

Haha thank you so much! I try not to skip ads on other people’s videos too, but sometimes a 10 or 15 minute one pops up and I’m like, umm maybe next time. 😅

[@leonajavorikova7625]

Every dark academia fan should see your videos 🍁 if they have known about you they would not stop watching

[@vedacorvus]

Aw thank you, beautiful! 🖤

[@halejupiter5170]

When I'm having trouble cleaning I break it into chunks like 1. all the clothes. 2. all the shoes. 3. all the dishes. And so on! This really helps a huge task feel smaller. Hopefully this can help someone!!

[@ashleigh_whatever]

Your videos are always so nice and relaxing. Such a nice difference from youtubers who scream at their audience. Congrats on 10k but I see you have 25k!!! Now!!! That’s amazing.

[@katherinetucker2131]

Your cat 😂💕

[@mckaymoody614]

Your hair is frizzy because its naturally wavy/curly. I had the same problem, you should try the curly girl method :) also I just found your channel and I love your videos

[@christinepriestessofnyx]

I recently came across your channel and I am fascinated by the aesthetics and the way you present the topics. Everything is wonderful, I adore your room and your hair is great ;). I am more than happy you made that channel which i gladly follow.I don't comment often under videos, because I'm a bit lazy, but I'm always here to support you, hahaha.

[@vedacorvus]

Aw thank you 🥺

[@ariluz6389]

You rock that background music volume now!!! I can understands your hesitation on creating that kind of content, but today it was perfect for me. Believe in yourself and your ideas. Thank you for the effort you put into it!

[@vedacorvus]

Yay, thank you! I tried to get it just right! 🖤

[@lorebernier7208]

Two months later, but you can freeze some (not all, some glass doesn't tolerate cold) candle holders and just pop out the wax.

[@acai2449]

if you put the candle holder into a pot of boiling water the wax will float to the top and you’ll be able to get ur holder back :-) love ur vids
