✨Having a good day on purpose by watching this 2hr vlog. ✨

[@oliviareadsalatte]

Yeeeees 🫶🏻✨

[@indigo149]

I love the genuine smile on your face whenever you talk to your partner off camera

[@msellenandrea]

Thank you for being mindful about peoples relationship to dieting! The amount of super toxic diet stuff online is scary, and some reasonable voices is always needed

[@stevie__reads]

I feel you on not having enough gigabytes to remember what happens in a book before you read a sequel, that’s why I love rereading so much. It’s like a new book every time🤣

[@Tinahgirl83]

I love that you read all over the place and you’re good with switching books based on what you want to read in that moment, whether or not you finish something first. It’s refreshing to see, because that’s where I am right now. I’m reading steadily, just in about 12 different books. lol.

[@shannahsmith6276]

I really appreciate your attention to how you talk about weight loss and healthy eating because there are TOO many people who talk about it in unhealthy and forceful ways. Came for the book content and stayed for all of the lifestyle vibes. :)

[@sydneymeyer8815]

the way i'm doing my notes for work while watching this vlog like i'm on facetime with a bestie is truly iconic! we love parasocial relationships!!

[@LindsNW05]

My cat Bug was very intrigued in seeing Ginger on the screen. 😆😆

[@oliviareadsalatte]

Hahahah besties 🐈 🐈

[@e4mi]

I get the same way about needing to exercise when my brain is doing this thing. I always tell my boyfriend that I'm in hamster mode and I need to go run on my wheel 😂

[@oliviareadsalatte]

Omg hamster mode is exactly right!!!

[@melindaforry644]

Hi Olivia!! Just starting to watch this but wanted to comment about your shoulder. It could be your rotator cuff. I have issues with mine. I’m right handed and work on a computer all day. So all the repetition moving your mouse along with every day things (stretching my arm to get dishes in or out of cupboards, etc.). So maybe look up exercises for that. I also notice mine gets worse when I do puzzles. Which, unfortunately, I do a lot. I can’t help myself!! Oh! And I’m a side sleeper too. So I try to just keep my hurting arm straight down on top of the side of my body/leg until I fall asleep. I wish you luck in getting it to feel better!!❤️

[@surpriseitsus9622]

I've torn mine and I just can't sleep unless my arm is straight up under my pillow. I'm doing light weights to build muscle to support that area 🤞

[@oliviareadsalatte]

I’ve noticed mine stopped when I changed my sleeping set up but also when I was doing cross stitch, it helped! So weird! But I’m definitely going to be trying to build up muscle to support there. I hope yours is feeling better!

[@melindaforry644]

So you sleep on your side with the hurt rotator cuff? Sorry, trying to visualize how to put my arm lol

[@kandraReadsSometimes]

My right shoulder is the same way, especially when I crochet! Try looking into the "broken wing" yoga pose. I do this stretch when it's really bothering me and it seems to help 🙌

[@e4mi]

@@melindaforry644 Haha I think Olivia was saying it was just sleeping wrong, not a deeper issue like a rotator cuff 💖

[@justlynnbooks1115]

Thanks for bringing a smile to my day! I have been cross stitching for years. You can do it. French knots are not as hard as they seem. Just take it one section at a time. I usually start in the middle.

[@JessicaLopez-in9ue]

Two hours 🥹 thanks this is going to get me through a ton of studying! Love to see it. 🥰

[@sophhnavarro]

Re-reading stormlight archive and cross-stitching sounds like a delightful time! ❤

[@maureendeming]

Thank you SO much from the rec on the audio of Amina al-Sirafi! I'm about a third into it and having so much fun!

These vlogs help me relax while also making me smile because you're so funny, so thank you Olivia 💜

Is it 9pm on a Wednesday night here in the uk..yes, absolutely…but do these weekly vlogs make me wanna run to my library, grab my crochet kit (which I have literally NEVER picked up) and grab a beautiful and perfect coffee… I mean, yes, absolutely, of course hon-ney!!!!!!!! The influence you have on me to live my bestest, coziest life 😊🥰🥰🥰

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - I love your Vlogs. They can never be long enough for me and I absolutely adored the little to do list visual that you added. It was so cute.!

[@shannahsmith6276]

The high-pitched “I think this is going to go well.” When you’re looking at the very serious crossstitch pamphlet. 😊

[@zeldainspace]

Ginger is BABY!!!! My cat loves shoulder rides

[@Ms.SpookyNerd]

Great vlog. I definitely gotta do more decluttering soon. 📚🧋🍄⛱️🌈😎🍉💐

[@annahvera]

I’m trying to lose weight also ! I’m comfortable with you talking about health stuff! It’s OK to keep us updated with what you’re doing because it’s what’s best for YOU and we are here to watch YOU. 😊

[@aliciaw82]

Love a 2 hour vlog!! My goal one day is to have some solid wood bookshelves. I was so excited earlier this year when Ikea made their Billy bookshelves available in a brown/wood color! Until I get my real wood ones, I will be using my faux wood brown Billy bookshelves 😂. I hope the rest of your week is great! 💜

[@MissBOverseas]

Olivia!!!!! Your hair in the friday section!!!!!!! Love!!!!!

[@oliviareadsalatte]

🫢 thank you!!

[@Lisa-vb3gn]

I do stamped counted cross stitch. A couple of points-I’ve never broken a needle. Not sure what is going on there. The color key on the paper may not match the color key at the bottom of the fabric. Very important that you find out by finding an easy solid area, like the green window. Check what the green is on the bottom of the pattern and double check against the paper chart-then either follow one or the other. If you find the fabric too stiff-just roll and scrunch until it softens a bit. Doing by square can be problematic if you have tight tension because you can get tension lines. Feather the edges of your squares by stitching 10 stitches in one row, 11 stitches on the next, alternatively in solid areas. I just work on whatever I feel like at the time-all background can get tedious , but it’s perfect when you’re tired and don’t want to think. Good luck-I think it’s a lot easier than regular counted cross stitch because you don’t have to constantly look at the pattern.

[@ceciliap9968]

If french knots drive you up a wall, get beads and add beads where the knots are supposed to be

[@kellyreadingbooks]

Definitely would be into your mindful eating content. I have high cholesterol myself (though it’s hereditary since I was 5 so I’m not sure how much I can even accomplish with diet) and watch my fat content. Always love watching you plan out your walks, I have had an infected blister on my foot and haven’t been able to do my walks for a few weeks and I definitely feel myself having to work harder on my mental health without them!

[@clairedecoste4310]

i just started my brandon sanderson journey with mistborn in may and just made the craziest plan to read the entire cosmere before wind and truth in december! a unrealistic goal but i love to be delusional when it comes to my reading 🤣

I love these long vlogs! Pick me up after losing two cats and a hamster in the space of three weeks. And within the year 5 of my fur babies have died. I www going to tackle Stephen kings IT but I’m waiting for the hardback to annotate. So I’ll wait for your review on the two thrillers you have. 😇

ohh all wood shelves would be cool! have you thought of maybe painting the white ones first? it might sound like a lot of work but i feel like it could be a cheaper option maybe??

I’m a side sleeper too and my shoulder/upper arm has been killing. I can just move my arm an it feels like it’s going to pop out socket. I have been trying to train to sleep on my back but failing majorly Also I switch my smartwatch to my ankle game changer when on walking pad/treadmill.

Just curious, did you ever finish fixing the walls in your master closet after taking down the old shelves? Just idea, you can fix it when working on the closet in your office if the master closet is not done. Can’t wait to see the finished office closet! Love a home project dyi!

[@e4mi]

Omg 4! That's awful 😭 I hope it get easier

[@oliviareadsalatte]

It’s so annoying!!

[@hannahblackwellbooks]

So you don’t have to read mistborn, you just get extra Easter eggs. Sanderson has said many times that you can read the whole cosmere to get all the extras BUT it’s not necessary to read everything. I dnf’d the mistborn series lol he’s purposefully written things in a way to not force readers to have to read 1 series to understand the other.

[@MarisaAndChew]

I get neck/shoulder pain like you described when I need new pillows. I need to reinvest in some down pillows as I didn't have that issue with down but I had mine for literally 15 years and they were leaving down everywhere so I've been trying less expensive options that are more humane and it's ending up being far worse for the environment BC I'm needing to replace my pillows every few months and then my pain is gone and then I start to get sore slowly and repeat. As much as I really wanted to stay away from down BC it feels cruel, I know I have to go back there for my neck and shoulders! Right now I'm trying to justify the insane price of quality Canadian down but I've concluded that the amount of toxins and perfectly good fabric I'm putting into landfills is worse for the planet and it's animals long term. Like 15 years of amazing pillows no replacements and now quarterly ish? I guarantee that my environmental impact was far less before and this current cycle is not only giving me pain but it's unnecessarily repurchasing things that harm the environment to make and then to degrade... It's not like I can donate a dead pillow. Anyway if you don't already have down and you're morally ok with the fact it's not vegan, I think it will be a game changer for your body and the support given at every angle from how you can fluff them or beat them down to a cozy reading spot to lying flat sick with a migraine... Oh and when I say mine lasted 15 years I DID machine wash and dry (took forever but I did it!) and during that time I was being diagnosed with ptsd and trying to get meds right etc and was often living out of bed only getting up to use the bathroom BC my depression and paranoia was so bad. Those pillows basically did the job of 30 years of sleeping. I should totally be embarrassed to say that but I'm not BC that's real life for my mental health. My second recommendation as someone whose spent a ton of time in bed is to not try and sleep in a certain position. Just do whatever the heck is comfortable and allow yourself room to be able to switch positions without waking fully to rearrange. Example, I sleep with a pillow by my knees but it's light enough that it can be moved aside if my legs want. I have a pillow on the edge of the bed to throw my arm over and since it's on the edge I can roll away onto my back or other side and not need to wake up. So I wake up with pillows on the floor sometimes? Oh yeah! But I am not waking up to try and get comfy again! (Until my pillows die and I need new ones 😢)

[@BekahBooksandBujo]

You don't have to do the french knots until the very end. Just look up some tutorials - it's not too bad! I must cross-stitch with the same intensity as you because I always break my needles in half...

[@morganarosana]

Ginger is so cute I'm gonna cry

Fun fact if you go vegan, you won't intake cholesterol. However (the reason I held off buying my Nespresso) non-paper-filtered coffee can raise it cause there's no paper to catch the lipids. But that's about it for the non vegan source. 👍
