LIVING ALONE VLOG: feeling weird, morning skin care routine + being cozy at home

[@katyvanpuymbroeck2815]

When I'm feeling uninspired I just like to keep it simple. Cooking is one of the things I love most, but it's also the first thing I drop when I'm feeling stressed. I'm just coming out of a rut too and am very into soups right now. I think soup season single handedly pulled me out of the rut.

[@graymatsen]

Soups are the best part

Hey girl! 32 yr/old over here 🧡 if i can give you any advice as someone who struggled with the pressures of her twenty-somethings.. i promise everything gets better. Just live life and enjoy the small things. I know the pressures of having kids/ buying a house/supposed to being in a certain place by a certain age can weigh heavy on us. Fuck that, please don’t listen and do what genuinely makes you happy and the rest will follow, i promise. You have a great head on your shoulders and life is too damn short to live to make other ppl happy. Just be a good damn human and do what you love. The pressures never really go away but once we stop and say fuck society and your standards is when it gets easier 🧡🧡🧡 xoxo

[@graymatsen]

Thank you 💖😭🥺

[@alysonsmith6825]

Being a twenty-something is so hard, and nobody ever acknowledges it. Thank you for being so real with your uncertainty. I'm totally in the same boat

[@charlottelouise8365]

making a super yummy pasta that I can incorporate some veggies into always makes me excited about food again - love the bon appetit lemony zucchini pasta :)

[@LaylaLane]

Whenever I'm stuck for meal Ideas I always turn to half baked harvest! I have been in such a rut too lately and her meals are always easier than they look and delish!

[@hiitslexi]

hiiiiighly recommend the Moroccan eggplant & tomato stew from minimalist baker topped w a fried egg + avocado ooooo baby. also any copycat recipe of the Trader Joe’s harvest chili!!

[@graymatsen]

Um omg this sounds so good! Thank you for the reco

[@beee1230]

I'm in the same boat... I never know what to make for dinner. I've recently made lentil shepherd's pie, chicken stir fry, veggie curry over rice, tacos :)

[@graymatsen]

Oof all sounds yum!!! Thanks for the ideas

[@christinamock7264]

I’ve been making cozy soups and fresh bread lately. Broccoli cheddar, minestrone, and bonappetit has a really yummy immune boosting chicken and sweet potato soup recipe.

[@KATBRAC91]

where are your earrings from? they look so good on you!! also would love to see some content on how you got started running & how you stay motivated in the darker months!! love your vlogs. such cozy vibes Xx

[@graymatsen]

I got mine from Melanie auld :) I like those ideas! Thank you

[@uartoste493]

I love you so much and wish you a beautiful bright future. Keep doing what you love and don't let anyone tell you otherwise

[@JennaBrown]

Okay you have inspired me and I need to get my Christmas stuff together!! Also so proud of you with your running, I remember when you said you couldn’t even imagine running more than 4km!! Look at you go!

[@graymatsen]

Yay for Jenna seeing this first thing when I know she’s multitasking with something else 😋😋😋 couldn’t have done it without my inspo run person aka you!

[@JennaBrown]

@@graymatsen hehe watching your vids make my work mornings a bit more enjoyable 🥰 and omg I love that ☺️

[@karissaposthumus1326]

Hi Sarah! I had a mouse in my apartment (an older building like yours) earlier this year, too. I'm sure you've looked into all possible solutions, but just in case, here's a tip that I tried-- I ended up stuffing steel wool (of all things) into the cracks and crevices of the walls where they could've been entering and they never returned. I hope the situation improves for you! Love your videos btw:)

[@loleeta3670]

Hi Sarah! 👋 need to know where you got your puffer from! Love your vlogs

[@graymatsen]

It’s the aritzia super puff mid 🤗

[@teresamccomish6018]

I have felt in a huge food rut too lately!!

[@camjohnson3523]

You always post when I’m needing it! Literally love you and your channel ❤️

[@graymatsen]

Aw thank you so much 😭💗

[@socattummi6060]

been moving miso soup and its so easy to make

[@ceciliahumada3428]

I love your videos!! You are so lovely and your style is so nice!!! ♥️💫

[@karlyc94]

would you mind sharing where your long black puffer coat is from?

[@graymatsen]

It’s the super puff mid from aritzia 😋

[@TaravivendoBr]

Sarah, I hope you get the mice issues resolved. You deserve a place without mices. I feel for you and I hope this situation gets resolved.

[@leenz1538]

I have become obsessed w these dill salads lol! Hope you get out of this lil rut

[@graymatsen]

Thank you 🥺❤️

[@crazylesh]

hiii Sarah

[@lpprince777]

Hi Sarah, love your vlogs. Could you advise me a jewellery online brand to get gold simple rings like you wear ? I love these on you 🥰

[@TobyTo]

favourite youtuber

[@graymatsen]

Ily 😭😭😭😭

[@GP-jo8gw]

those food ruts will get ya. My go-to when I'm extra lazy is a loaded salad. Honestly so easy and yum. The salad base is usually kale with the best sauce ever (olive oil, dijon mustard, dash of maple syrup, lemon juice, sesame oil, salt, pepper) and I'll add in anything to the salad plus canned tuna for proteinnn. Also, if you can find ajvar somewhere, HIGHLY recommend. it's like a roasted red pepper and eggplant paste/spread that goes so well with toasted sourdough and soup. ez pz stuff

[@asmribel]

If you don't mind me asking, what do you do for a living? I'm about to be living on my own in a few weeks and I'm terrified and excited at the same time !

[@graymatsen]

I do KZbin 😋😋

[@sadealonge7974]

I’m new to your channel! Loved this vid. Where’s your grey sweat suit from? And the cream hoodie? ☺️

[@Fuksiia]

This might be the weirdest request for a video, but it would be awesome if you could make a video on how you choose your baseball hats and maybe you could show us the ones you have (maybe as a small segment in a vlog?). I want one but I don't even know where to begin

[@ninakara585]

I think you’d loooove the biossance probiotic gel cream! It’s so good for us dry skin girls but is still somehow light weight and doesn’t break me out, also good for redness idk how they do it! It’s as light as a gel but as hydrating as a cream! 💚 also love the Tatcha water cream, also very light yet somehow occlusive enough for dry skin

[@lisaheller8072]

You are so cute. You look like an LA girl. You could seriously be the next bachelorette. Adorable!

[@grayscale1870]

Where are those orange flares from? Pls share 💖

[@graymatsen]

Hara the label 😋

[@LovebugASMR222]

I've never been this early before ayyyyyyy!!! Also I love your vlogs, so pls keep doing them! ☺️💕

[@graymatsen]

Yay!!!! Thank you so much 💗 and thanks for being here

[@valeriepauley518]

Maybe this is a sign to adopt a cat! :)

[@graymatsen]

My place isn’t pet friendly 😭

[@lilsoupangel]

not to sound mean or anything, but there's really something off when you say "subscribe, it's free" literally everytime you post something. I mean, sharing your life online is totally your choice to make so no need to mention that you're not monetizing your content every single time you decide to post..no hate tho, i really love whatever you're up to

[@graymatsen]

I totally respect where you’re coming from and appreciate the feedback. This is my full time job now and it’s how I survive so if I can get more ppl to join my little corner of the internet it means I can make more for myself :) also i barely make anything off of this platform just so everyone knows haha so anything helps
