[@anniebarrell]

I’m 23 newly married, Christian and just loveeee your channel. I feel like a friend, so encouraged by your quiet times and seeing that your hubby has all the same theology books on your shelf as my hubby! Happy birthday from England, love Annie! Xx

[@RachelCatherine]

I love that! I feel like everyone who watches my videos is my friend too! I love chatting and sharing my life with you 🥰

[@mereanakiore7152]

No joke the same ottoman that you brought were on clearance here in Henderson, Auckland Nz for $2 crazy! Love a Kmart bargain. Absolutely love your vlogs, happy bday & I've been watching for the last 3 years. 21st out in the backyard boho vibes, last year lockdown and George got your bike and now in your new apartment with Liam. So excited for your new adventures! ❤

LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. Happy birthday girl 😘

Also the house looks beautiful.

[@adayagrace2603]

HBD Rachel 🙂🎉 Where are your bracelets from btw?

[@RachelCatherine]

Ana Luisa 🥰

[@alanaisaiah6503]

I have the same ottoman, I doubt you will have the same problem as me but the tassels are forever throughout my house. Most of them have fallen off (my kids say they fall off I’m pretty sure they pull them off 🤷‍♀️). Either way when your moving it around just don’t use the tassel to do so they fall out really easily.

[@RachelCatherine]

hahahah well since I don't have kids - we can test whether it's them or just the quality 😂 I'll update if it starts falling apart!

[@alanaisaiah6503]

@@RachelCatherine pretty sure it’s the kids 😂 they pull them off in clumps and then pretend they don’t know how it happened ‘they just fall off’ I get told however whenever I use it or move it around none seem to fall off 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤣

[@jethroscousininthecabbageg7426]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎂🎈 So glad your day was a chill one! You deserve it. P.s don’t worry, I also don’t like drive throughs or talking on the phone 🙄🤪

Anybody know what singer/album Rachel is talking about? Literally got my Spotify open and ready aha! Happy Birthday! And Redeeming Love is my favourite book of all time! - Laura

What is the brand called again for the active wear clothing?

Elite Eleven! xx

@@RachelCatherine okay awesome! What size did you get in them?

Happy birthday!! Also have you checked out Jack Edwards - he's also a booktuber a friend of Noelle!

[@margotbultynck]

Ok, so you sparked my interest about the book price thingy and google answered: 'Books with a very limited market (for example advanced graduate school text books) tend to be expensive. For example, suppose I wrote a text on designing UV instruments for observing diffuse interstellar matter. Worldwide there are probably 10 students that might buy such a book annually. The lifetime of such a text is about a decade, so I'm hoping to sell 100 copies. My employer doesn't pay me to write books, so I would be doing this on my own time. Let's say it only took me 500 hours to write it. That means each copy, in addition to covering publishing costs, needs to cover 5 hours of my time. To make the math easy, lets say I want a minimal return of $30 per hour. That would that my take on each book sold would be $150. The publisher probably wants some money out of the deal, too, so we're talking about a $300 book. That should explain why there are no text books on designing UV instruments for observing diffuse interstellar matter, why I won't be writing one, and why no publisher would publish it even if I did.' Happy birthday!! 🎂

[@RachelCatherine]

so interesting 😯

[@Will_wegetthere]

Atomic habits is good. What's your favourite non-fiction book atm?

[@eviesvlog]

Happy birthday

[@lb.08135]

Looks like a dream chill day. I worked my birthday because daycare is $115 a day and you have to pay even if they have a day off🤣 mum life

[@Nolanoyayo]

You would get a rebate tho?

[@jessposselt3577]

Do you worry about beginning to not love your ring as much now that you’re transitioning into gold jewellery??

[@tashateacup]

I was just thinking this! I am torn between what colour I want my engagement ring to be... I'm thinking yellow gold just because it's timeless

[@rachaelcowie7979]

I love the hating game so much
