“being aware is exhausting” ugh too relatable

[@oliviareadsalatte]

[@abbieharville1472]

Just got to the part where you were talking about your anxieties and how you felt they were weird and not relatable. I know it was probably just another part of your anxiety talking but I wanted to let you know you are definitely not alone. I have struggled with OCD (not saying that’s your diagnoses but it is mine) my whole life and I am so familiar with those thoughts of worrying about saying or doing the wrong thing - something that might be perceived as problematic or wrong. It has caused me stress when I have tried to make videos in the past. And it’s really cool to see a popular successful youtuber talking about these same struggles. It makes me feel less alone and more valid. So I just wanted to tell you that in case it makes you feel less alone.

[@oliviareadsalatte]

This is so sweet of you, thank you for sharing. This is actually exactly what I struggle with, and it is so anxiety inducing. Of course, I gotta prove to my brain that it won’t set my world on fire to mess up (if or if not it actually happens). But man, it’s hard to do! 🩷

[@Thirtynerdy]

Also the clip where you are putting something in the fridge and you see the ceiling truly had me feeling like I was on FaceTime with my family. Next level bookish friend unlocked 😅

[@oliviareadsalatte]

Hahaha I love that vibe tho!

[@corinneeliese]

No girl our houses definitely do not look like influencer show homes. I love the transparency, that you share all your thoughts and how you feel and view things. That’s why I watch all your videos. ❤ love from 🇬🇧

[@VanessaButtino]

Admittedly, my house is ALWAYS super-clean … but that’s because I love cleaning. I grew up in a strict Italian household and my mother taught me and my sister to clean when we were very young (I was 5). I do chores every day and I do a deep clean every Sunday morning.

[@mangotreebranch]

I wish I had that kind of motivation. I like cleaning, but I wish it was almost like a hobby.

[@VanessaButtino]

@@mangotreebranchfor me, it's definitely a hobby lol When I was younger I found it more of a chore, but now that I'm 41 I absolutely love it.

[@booksandwoollysocks]

Caught up on the last three weekly vlogs this week and it feels like pure happiness spending so much time with you 💛

[@msellenandrea]

My almost 15 year old cat has gotten Solesia twice now and she's like a young cat!! She can jump super high, she's playful every day again, and so energetic and curious. Miracle drug! (She wasn't very badly affected to begin with, but she did have some pain in her back and she didn't like jumping much and used her front paws to drag herself up)

[@oliviareadsalatte]

I’m so thankful for this miracle drug; it’s made such a difference!!

[@msellenandrea]

@@oliviareadsalatte Seeing our old lady babies happier is the best!

[@Hi_I_am_Cate]

🐱 I just love your vlogs SO much. I appreciate how transparent you are. You talking about your anxiety has helped me address mine. I am obsessed with Ginger. She is the the queen. I just love it here! ❤

[@oliviareadsalatte]

Thank you so much 🐈🩷✨

Love your rambles keeping me company while I get chores done ❤

You being real, vulnerable, and honest is why I love your vlogs, so please don’t change! Hug from a person with bipolar disorder 💛

1. I wish my house looked as neat and organized as yours. 😂😂 You haven’t been giving me motivation to organize lately. It’s so nice lol. 2. Let me be the kid that came in from recess with you and asked for a “waterfall” because that water looked amazingly cold. 👀😂 3. Ginger would never be rude. She is the queen after all. 👑🐈

[@fairywonder100]

You are so relatable. ❤ Thank you for being brave and so real!

[@oliviareadsalatte]

Awh thank you 🩷

[@fileanavailable]

When you mentioned Dorit, all I could hear is “aww!! Jaggy!!” 😂 I’m on the season 9 finale of RHOBH. Totally agree on the YA fantasy. I’m rereading Mortal Instruments right now and loving it. Last year, I really enjoyed rereading Hunger Games and the Divergent series.

“Do y’all live in y’all’s house clean” the way I died! 🤣🤣 this screamed to me so loud, because YES I know exactly what you mean. I’ve always felt like 😦 when I see them because behind me is a whole hurricane 💀

I'm back to finish this vlog in my second sitting but I was literally just about to ask if you were reading Paradise 1 because of Brittany and you literally answered my own question!

[@hannahreadstorelax16]

I absolutely love YA! Thriller and Mystery is deff my fave!

[@bch53007]

I used my pan rack horizontally rather than vertically. My cabinets were not tall enough and I have some heavier cast iron skillets. The only downside is the pan will rub the bottom of the cabinets. My husband coated them to keep them from getting too banged up. Works great otherwise.

[@oliviareadsalatte]

I’m definitely gonna get some nice lining for the bottom of the cabinets to make sure it doesn’t get banged up. I already love how much more organized it is

[@Bonecuddles_]

I am obsessed with your organization girl! Love it!

[@oliviareadsalatte]

Thank you!!

[@suetaylor]

Never fear! If anyone is mean to in the comments woe betide them. Nobody throws hate at our girl. So glad you shared stuff that most of us deal with. Hormones are the devil's work that mess with mental health. Biggest hugs. Xxx

[@marlachildsartwork]

🐈 I just finished The Book That Wouldn’t Burn and really enjoyed it. Gave me lots of big feelings at the end and a “curses!” moment when I realized that I was going to have to wait for the next one to come out. I listened to the audio book and thought it was well done. A long one but definitely worth it.

[@oliviareadsalatte]

I’ll haven’t to check the audiobook out then!

recipe for medium iced hazelnut truffle mocha add white chocolate with oatmilk: 1 oz equal parts hazelnut syrup (torani) and chocolate sauce and white chocolate sauce (ghirardelli) 2 shots espresso oatmilk (about 9oz) top with soft top (rich’s brand) and caramel drizzle

[@LindsNW05]

Mine definitely does NOT look like influencer homes, I like to live in my house. Growing up my mom was very neat freak/OCD about cleaning, so it looked like we didn't live in our house, it was stressful having to keep things clean 24/7.

[@Felixs.library]

it feels crazy to be this early on a video. I had a lot of stuff to do today so was able to put this on for body doubling. Thank you for the amazing content ^^

Have started binging a Canadian series on TV called "Family Law". It is filmed as well as set here in Vancouver BC Canada. And in one of the episodes there was a small cameo by one of the ladies from the now gone Real Housewives series. Real Housewives of Vancouver. She was the client of the head lawyer in the practice. He was trying to get her more spousal Support 😅

❤ I'm okay with wrap ups and other sit down videos, but I think I just have less tolerance these days for them running longer than 20ish minutes tops (vlogs are okay to be long). But if you did cover all the books you've read that month in vlogs and you don't have anything else to add, it seems reasonable to not bother.
