Post-Holiday Reset Routine, Book-Binding & Planner Unboxing!

[@charleighgibson]

I love that there are aCTUAL biscuits in a biscuit tin rather than a parent's sewing kit 👀

[@ellesbf7208]

this is too real 😭

[@TheAlchemyofBusinessStudies]

I reckon this is a global phenomena.

[@JayJasperLondon]

LOL 😂

[@sumayyahkhan8897]

Generational trauma😂😂

[@itsshayene]

haha, I had the same thought.

[@Paulimausi]

I am here since 2018/19 and I love Rubys channel so so much. There were times when I felt the vibe more and less but eventually, I would always come back. Every video is like a nostalgic trip and I feel so at home and safe in my little cottagecore space here on youtube when I see there is a new video up. I just purchased the academic planner which is so weird because I remember the first launch and that I was so sad because I didn't get one and now look how far we've come. I am so so happy for Ruby and in a weird way so proud of this person that I kind of feel like is my sister and that I on the other hand never met. Stay as you are

[@RubyGranger8]

Oh Melissa, this is the loveliest comment. Truly, thank you. Thank you for being here for all of this time 🤍

[@shahrukhali3882]

Ruby owns some of the most asthectic things that I have rarely seen in my life, you really bring out the inner vintage in us. My gratitude.

[@Lucia-pd6fi]

I agree Ruby... Sometimes we all need a biscuit!😂

[@waspard]

'candlestick holder' is tautology! the candle is just a candle; candlesticks are what hold the candles :)

[@kristinandj]

Ruby’s love language is definitely gifts

[@TheDentistryDiary]

Omggggggg I just got in bed and was like I really wish there was a new Ruby video and 10 mins later you arrive 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@larrymilliken288]

Ruby, I can’t agree more that holding a piece of writing is preferable. It’s a tactile feeling not experienced when viewing the same quote, poem, or text on screen, pc or phone; somehow, it’s more personal and intimate.

[@padfoots_paws]

I might be wrong here (especially because English is not my first language so please do correct me if I am) but I am pretty sure a candlestick is a type of candleholder, and a candlestickholder is therefore double?

[@RubyGranger8]

So a candlestick is another name for a long taper candle, and a candlestick holder is what you would put one inside :) x

[@padfoots_paws]

@@RubyGranger8 I think the long candle is just a candle...

[@lillysummeroriginals1213]

@@padfoots_paws my best advice, just look it up. Everyone most likely is going to have a different opinion on it so look it up and find some quick research you can look into it and find the correct definitive answer

[@limeparticle]

@@RubyGranger8Sorry no, a candlestick is what you stick the candle into. A long candle is a taper.

[@Caeilia]

@@RubyGranger8 definition from the cambridge dictionary for the word candlestick: "an object that holds a candle".

[@jasoncromwell4206]

Very lovely video Ruby!!!!!! Wow it's amazing you posted this. I order used paperbacks, especially during Summer, and they are in various conditions. Now I really wanna look into Book Binding as a way to save them. Also thanks for recommending "Atomic Habits." I'm already half way through and have written down so much. I'm also taking the Postcard thing as well. That's a lovely way to keep up with the memories.

[@charlottekemlin5137]

Thank you for your videos! They have helped me to stay motivated while working on my English (I'm French). By the way, toile de jouy is pronounced t-o(like in or)-a(like in apple)-l d-e(like in open) j(like the s in pleasure)-ou(like in pool)-i(like an English e).

[@jakecavendish3470]

Bookbinding is quite a complicated skill to master, there are a few courses you could sign up for that help teach the basics.

[@RubyGranger8]

I really want to learn! I’m definitely in my learning phase :)

[@mitzloo1933]

I love your idea to write down the lessons learned during/after a trip. All the lessons I’ve learned (and you always learn something when you travel) are mostly lost. And your video! What a wonderful way to document your time! I really want to start implementing these ideas - though I’m kind of hopeless when it comes to technology 😆 Love your videos!

[@silviadevecchi2630]

love when you show activities related to birthdays and gifts! so many inspos 😊

[@startaplin9680]

Yesss!! A new video by Ruby! I am so excited!!

[@sofiej9657]

love that you're into printing! I studied graphic design specializing in printing and I get so happy about a nice designed book, or feeling nice paper

[@oliviagoode8847]

Ordered my planner yesterday, cant wait, it already looks so pretty 😍

[@silvialogan9226]

Ruby, these are very good tips which you are giving for students who are ready to study in the fall.

[@wonderwoman5528]

Such a great idea to print a recipe book with your favourite recipes as a gift. I’m definitely going to do that for my sister, too 😊

[@idolivercampos]

Greatest love, inspiration to ALL of us... 😊❤ from Brazil,🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@oliveee297]

the planner looks so lovely! I saw you mentioned possibly making a blank date planner on instagram, I would love that so much!! I used the little Muji blank date planner for ages but its so small.. so one like yours would be perfect

[@Den7205]

you looked great in both the hat and the scarf❤

[@srishtiiiiiii95]

i so so love your blue coat and the butterfly locket you were wearing and that eye subtle makeup was cherry on the cake

[@balleballe534]

That top and jacket.....oh god you look so so so smart and beautiful 😍❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@JacquelineBeaulieu]

I loved watching you create a customized Totoro book cover using your Cricut! I hope your sister Marfa loves her homemade present and enjoys her birthday 🥳

[@PeloB]

..u are so I inspiring. Watching from Botswana 🇧🇼🇧🇼 Thank u for sharing ur life with us.

[@tjcrossley_]

You do such a great job Ruby! Love all your videos, very inspirational :)

[@BadeRadio777]

Hey Ruby I have just started watching your channel in the last few days and for someone whos Go Go Go all the time its really nice to see somoene who likes a chilled out simple lifestyle.

[@JudeDuarte-ip7re]

I’m so excited for the release of the academic planner!

[@thistleteastudies]

I'm very excited about your academic planner this year! :) I will be snatching up a digital copy on launch day.

[@i.x.r.x1057]

Yep I am buying this planer 💓 Just because it has literally EVERYTHING that I could wish for in a planer. While you kept showing us how you designed it, I realized that it is so much more then a planer. It‘s like a little diary 🥹 A cute piece to compact everything I have done in a year and how I kept thinking over the weeks 💓 I am from Germany so my English is not the best but I followed you for many year and wanted to say thank you for sharing and creating such beautiful parts of your life 💓

[@colleen6776]

Your videos are always a joy to watch! Thank you for uploading so consistently :)

[@NookDuck]

Beautiful video. I absolutely love the rustic/vintage vibes your videos give ... So homey and cosy. Unique ♡ xxx

[@MissBethLouise1]

Another lovely video, as always. Such a great idea to try to reset after a trip and to organise memories straight away, I feel like I’d look back on photos and videos from trips more if they were organised like this. I have two questions to ask you. 1. Do you plan on making a non-academic 2024 version of the planner? Just wondering which version to get. 2. Do you know if the Candlelit Library you made with Bird and Blend will be restocked? It’s such a favourite of mine

[@PromisingPod]

printing photos should be a more common thing nowadays, thanks Ruby

[@EmilyVarner-sc4sm]

I looks forward for her to post and when she does I get so exited I get all cozy and watching then continue my day tbh I love her vids so much

[@hellokittypop25]

I love you Ruby!! You are an amazing human. ❤❤❤

[@JadisDeauclaire]

Hi Ruby, It would be so interesting to show us your instalation in your nex room/appartment (i don't know hihi) for Oxford. The organisation for a new academic year, decoration etc. Sometime it's really complicated having two room (one in family house and the other "only" for university). Thanks in advance for sharing !

[@purpletiger9313]

Yes, I'm curious about this too. I really hope she experiences the campus, the staff, and the other students; as well as Oxford life -- and that Oxford doesn't turn into online office hours and virtual classes. But she did mention driving lessons, so maybe that's a clue in Ruby's secret campus life.... 🙂

[@JadisDeauclaire]

@@purpletiger9313 this would be soooo nice

[@itsshayene]

I really enjoyed this video, Ruby! I thought those postcards were absolutely stunning and I cannot wait to make a trip down to Italy. I also am so excited and cannot wait for the planners to drop tomorrow!

[@lesliegraham8478]

Thanks Ruby. Very much enjoyed❤

[@marga15lol97]

Thank you, that you wish us every time a productive week. ❤

[@jackiesliterarycorner]

The book binding process was cool to watch. I have always wonder how book binding works, especially after my copy of Prisoner of Azkaban started to come out of its binding. You always seem to have such nice and unique routines.

[@jedak6630]

I would love to see how you pack for a holiday in a carry on! - A chronic overpacker

[@josephinerunci6052]

I've always thought that you were younger than your sister. Turns out it's the other way round. Good luck with your new adventure at Oxford uni😊

[@user-ol7lu2dv8s]

Happy birthday to Martha!!

[@Girlgrowingwings]

Wow I love the idea of a little quote booklet! Thank you Ruby for always inspiring me ❤

[@Olivia-or7jy]

Now I understand why hardcover books are so expensive! Could you do an updated room tour? Your room right now looks so cozy!

[@emmacollett2629]

I love the blazer! It's so reminiscent of The Prisoner!

[@syednadal9142]

Thanks boss have a productive day.. i hope your upcoming birthday is as your wish🎉

[@ariela_]

Can you talk more about how you started your business, you mentioned it goes straight to a warehouse after ordering. So is it drop shipping?

[@RubyGranger8]

So we print the planners and then have these shipped to a warehouse where they’re sent out (because I’m unable to do this myself). It works well like this and we work closely with the lovely team at the warehouse :) x

[@lupeibarra6786]

Absolutely love this style of video!!

[@eli9855]

I was so disappointed when I got my planner last year as an American and the days did days of the month and the days of the week didn't match up I would absolutely love to see an American version love your stuff so much. Maybe also for the American version could make school start in august and end in. early June. all said with love

[@ivonaivona668]

Yeah, why not American and Spanish and German oh and French too!

Not sure if you've already discarded the Totoro covers yet, but if you really liked them maybe you could pin them up or frame them? The artwork is so pretty, I'm sure there's another way you can use the covers you removed!

Hi ruby, i loved your last planner, and i will 100% be buying this one, but just so your aware mine came with all the pages in the wrong order, no big deal i just switched them but just so you know in future production 😊 x

Hi Ruby, love your videos! I was wondering what website or software you use to collate all those recipes? Such a lovely creative idea 💡

[@GoldfinchRobin]

The planner is beautiful and so handy to have.

[@amandasteven1400]

watching Ruby writing the 'post card' is intriguing! i mean, leaning ovr to get closer to the words coming out of her pen fascinates me. it makes me want to write something... so i wrote this comment :)

[@arirosenberger1181]

Where do you get all your supplies for bookbinding? It looks like a lot of fun.

[@lillysummeroriginals1213]

Online most likely or perhaps at a local craft store

[@bituingmarikit]

Hi, Ruby! Sorry for such a personal question but I'm just curious - I saw "prayer" in your to-do list. Has your religious views changed? ☺️ Btw, LOVE this vlog, as per usual ❤

[@Indk1686]

Refreshing😌❣️

[@vixikie]

Can you do an updated room tour?

[@lillysummeroriginals1213]

Can you make a video about everything you read in the month of July?

[@han7650]

In the past I've lived out of a suitcase when I've got HOME so it gradually empties without me even trying haha not an ideal solution though!😂

[@pamina6572]

The bookbinding project would be so much nicer if you used a straight edge ruler to measure, mark, and cut both the cloth and the boards. I did this for a book that I covered for my beloved daughter. The result was worth the extra time and effort.

[@sebasthian_serrano]
