in terms of videos, would love to see what a week of writing looks like for you - when you find time, what gives u inspiration, etc. - without being too personal of course! i just find it interesting and inspiring to see how other people fit writing into their lives :)

[@Elza000]

I can relate so much to the saying: " i need to treat mysef like a dog or a baby in order to finish things i nedd to finish" haha..

[@Dmadly321]

you should put your book tower next to your new desk, could be an inspiration when you are writing. For the mental health of your cats get some shelves so they can jump on on and scratch them. Sending you hugs from Italy.

[@joelharris4399]

What would KZbin be without Nina? Hard to tell really, but, it is an intriguing question, nonetheless. Happy summer, for all that it is worth😻🌻☘

[@TwoOnlyChildrenxoxox]

That corner needs a cozy chair and an arm lamp and a rug underneath for the cats to destroy.

[@nina.montagne]

I did think about arm chair!! But will it fit!!!!

[@samlange3539]

I love a stream of consciousness! It’s really nice to hear you talk about anything and everything! I also adore your fashion sense so seeing you explore is always lovely! I love your videos soooo much! You inspire me in so many ways! How has the transition been in the new place? The library ? Love love love your content :) hope you have a beautiful day!

[@ayslakose7967]

it's genuinely amazing how I identify with most of the themes of your videos. You usually talk about the books and the creative bits which always inspires me but also I literally have the same miserable feelings when I go shopping. I rediscover stuff about myself when I listen how you put the similar feelings in a more welcoming/different way. You're my best KZbin Nina

[@marccolomayt82094]

weekly notes vlog = absolutely satisfying ❤

[@ExLibris-Alys]

Love your denim skirt! Do your cats go outside?

[@DoppelpunktDeDeDe]

hi nina, I've been watching your videos for yeeears and I love my little routine of having my tea in the morning whilst watching you 🫶🏻

[@hannafox990]

It is so easy to forget going to that forrest or that beach because it takes 30+ minutes to get there. Such a shame and I really want to get better at it.

[@Pizzagurl24283]

Hi Nina! I commented this on the last video but I would really love if you also put the books you mention in your videos in the description because I hate disrupting your videos to pause and jot them down :’( thanks for sharing!!!

[@Pizzagurl24283]

Also, maybe instead of a cat tree in that corner you could put a cat hammock or cat shelves. Very easy to diy and upholster with any kind of scratchy secondhand fabric. It could be a bit more aesthetic if that’s what you’re looking for!

[@nina.montagne]

Ohhh yes yes!!! I will do this from now on!! I need to get better at description boxes 💖 thank you for the reminder!!

[@starwars60]

Your videos are a great comfort. Big fan 🤍

Thank you for taking us along x

I'd love a little get ready with me somewhere in a weekly notes! what makeup brands do you use? always love your eyeliner + blush

[@kaiyahatcher7464]

Love these weekly note videos oh so much! I’m just starting to get into running (mostly inspired by you tbh) and I would really like to see a running vlog/chatty vid/ tips and tricks you’ve learned. Much love!

[@sunray2804]

would love a top 15 for your favorite books :)

[@teamsweetpotato1185]

Love you videos :) I just finished pachinko! I loved it ~~ in terms of the books that are not in my native language (I'm Japanese) I'm lost so I love your book review! Gives me the list to read :)

[@anestitizedspaz]

"imagine being a person that doesn't get overwhelmed by everything," seems fake but okay 😂

[@nina.montagne]

hahahaha

[@maaikehendriks4107]

Hi Nina, lovely video as always! Lately i find myself changing a lot and with that also my clothing style. I tend to wanna shop for a fantasy self which then are things i dont wear. But recently i heard a tip (it was actually a tip for a gift) to buy something in a good quality that you know you already love or have another thing/colour of. I am enjoying this i must say so who knows also something for you! ❤

[@charlottestalder7807]

Hi Nina! When you were talking about how you’d like to have a vision for a coherent wardrobe, it made me think of these apps that allow you to catalogue your clothes by uploading pictures of them. I don’t know of any specific one but might be useful..? What helps me most personally is to revisit my wardrobe from time to time to remember the less worn items, e.g. I’ll pick a random piece and try to style it one way or another. I find Pinterest is great for inspo but I try to save outfits that I can somehow recreate with what I have and sometimes it helps me see the need for something specific that I would be missing.

[@aenese34]

Ahahaha I'm just laughing because this whole video seemed like you were in my head, I related 100% with the disjointed wardrobe struggle and the feeling that "maybe I should do a pinterest about fashion items/clothes" and then not doing it because, such as you, I don't think I care enough

[@nina.montagne]

it's this constant battle of what should i care about and what should i not care about lol

[@danshibuya6593]

thanks Nina, I'm loving seeing Sydney x

[@die-isabelle]

you summarized so well how I feel about shopping haha which is funny cause I love your sense of style. anyways, I personally think a very comfy chair for you to read as well as a shelf on the wall there would make a lovely reading corner near the desk 😊 but I also am not sure if the space fits a chair even

[@lucy5263]

Hey Nina! I'm french and I think it's so cool that you're learning french :) xx

[@ornia9806]

get yourself a hot water bottle xx

[@nina.montagne]

They have been sold out everywhere lol but yes!!! I need one ASAP

[@ornia9806]

@@nina.montagne ohh that's dire! I never considered that to be a possibility! hope you find one soon lol

[@coooooooooooooooper]

to add to this, please get an electric blanket, either or both a throw blanket or mattress topper! they're saving me in my uninsulated house this winter, and are so inexpensive to run! also I've found newsagents sometimes will have a stock of hot water bottles? x

[@nusaiba0]

2:11 I really don’t know why it made me so emotional. I feel so comfortable watching you then I remembered that you supporting Palestine, loved you more

[@gabbyrn18]

Nina, thank you for your videos! I'm a big fan of your writing but your videos bring such comfort 🌼 wishing you a lovely lovely week

[@numivis7807]

Hey Nina, I remember you talking about "The Artists Way" in one of your videos, I recently got it and I was wondering if you remember by any chance in which video you were talking about it? or does anyone else remember. Would love to rewatch it now that i'm reading it myself

[@lorithomasscott349]

As always love your videos lovely ❤ read The Orchard (I think published under between dog and wolf for you) after seeing it in a previous video and absolutely loved it. Can’t wait for the next newsletter ❤

[@lorithomasscott349]

Also! Just thought you could put a little bookshelf in that space but dedicate one of the shelves to a little cozy space for the cats

[@lemonmarzipan6330]

That white shirt you thrifted is amazing 🤍

[@matilda000dunlop]

Dear Nina, I cannot recommend the Madonnas Secret to you. It is the best book I have ever read

[@jofig-f3m]

it's like visual poetry

[@twartist1411]

I woukld put a plant there. Very appealing and natural for you.

[@Nrsql]

Always always love your videos!🥰

[@janee8973]

totally feel the same way about shopping. it’s so nice to have nice clothes but to actually shop for them I often find exhausting. Also I never really know where to shop, I find 2nd hand shops pretty overwhelming often as well. Would love to learn more about how uni is going, how your new flatshare is going, and how its going with your boyfriend :) much love❤

[@stellaslaught]

Another fabulous video Nina 🌸 A bit cheeky, but I was wondering if you could list the songs you used in the descriptions of your videos or the comments. I always love your musical choices, but they can be hard to find!

[@TheMsCroft]

Hey Nina, I love love your videos ! For your desk you could use a small cat tree and put a piece of furniture with drawers to put your office things inside and make the cat tree taller !

[@Zweeibrahim]

I’m always searching for your new videos first thing every time I get to youtube❤ I really love your thoughts and your shopping styles and would like to see more and more of them By the way I feel overwhelmed so easily by every single detail in my life which led to discussing everything with my friend which put my choices always in doubt, so lately I tried not to discuss anything with anybody to be sure that it is my choice but it stresses me out and triggers anxiety so badly. I really need a way out… Another thought.. I really hate shopping specially for clothes I have no idea what style suits me but I know very well that I like comfy cloths with comfy shoes and that’s it but it doesn’t go well with my job requirements but who cares but as you said maybe I will care a little more..maybe😅 Love you Nina and sorry for this long discussion ❤❤❤ Sending you hugs..

[@numivis7807]

get some of those hanging cat hammocks / Shelves on your walls, they love to sleep in them and they look less obvious. :)

[@ayawolf8987]

I wish I could send you my Mau cat tree! It's so pretty but my cat still prefers the hideous cat tree I got for free over 10 years ago.😺

[@paige4054]

We love an ad that involves cat cuddles lol I’m obsessed. For your personal style journey, I’ve found it really helpful to think about 2-3 words that summarize your style (i.e. comfortable, creative, romantic, classic). That can really help you when you are shopping. You can ask yourself “Does this item fit within my style words? What is it about this item that I like?”. I find it helps me have a more cohesive closet. It can really help when you’re putting outfits together too! Lots of love. ❤

[@amydugdale1700]

idea! im wondering if you could make the cat tree!?? then it could look super cool :)

[@aliciagg93]

For a more cohesive closet look for capsule wardrobe ideas, I'm sure in Pinterest there will be plenty :) Love love love loveeee these videos!

Always happy to help with some French Nina! ❤

Hi Nina, have you ever seen the Colossal Curvy Clawer cat tree by FurryTail? it's very aesthetically pleasing!! I have not tried it but it looks really good and it's not super expensive :)
