setting goals, new bedroom, & how I moved across the country alone | vlogmas day 18

[@berfin9454]

this vlogmas is literally like a comfort tv show, we are all just waiting for new episodes everyday at 6 pm European time IM LOVING IT

[@sunflowerbb8527]

literally i’ve even just made a hot chocolate to sit down and watch

[@berfin9454]

@ SAME ngl this is the highlight of my day

[@bambinakatarina]

for reeeal it always comes at the best time

[@sophiacrder]

so true

[@majasmentek6943]

OMG me too at 6 pm in Europe

[@julkawksiazkach]

i just love how your vlogmas is not about consumption and buying christmas stuff and it’s just about happy living and feeling good with yourself and how to be better. it’s so fresh and i’m here for it, for the second time (i was here also last year)

[@gabriellerussell4108]

I love it too! It’s more experience based, rather than promoting overconsumption

[@julkawksiazkach]

@ yes, exactly!!!!

[@AnnieSteinkeBranby]

💜 i’m a silent watcher. This is my first comment ever, but I love your videos so much. This wasn’t boring at all. You make every simple thing in life seem so pretty

[@jessielrodgers]

as a fellow silent listener, I TOTALLY AGREE!!!

[@mrodriguez_05]

As a girl who is about to venture through her early 20s, thank you so much for showing the beauty of finding joy in the small moment of daily life. Sending you a virtual hug 🤍

[@cherressia]

This omg 🥰🥹🩵🩷

[@raya2533]

safe skies steph

[@internetvlogs]

i feel like you’re the only youtuber that is okay with showing us the “boring” days and that’s what i’ve always wanted from youtubers i’ve watched bc i don’t find it boring, just comforting and relatable 😭 silent watcher but love your videos sm steph 🫶🏽

[@youareinloveeee]

i don’t want vlogmas to ever end actually

[@izzywhite8646]

You are the reason me and my friends are moving out of home in a month. We were so inspired that we had to take this leap and we are so excited to live together all thanks to your videos 💜

[@imshama]

I could listen to her yapping for hours and not get bored it’s like music to my ears 🫶🏻👯‍♀️from a silent watcher that have been watching your vlogs since 2020-2021

[@DevonRivera-nm9zc]

Smiling at strangers makes SUCH a difference in how you feel but also how you make others feel. I always do and it makes me so happy when someone gives me a warm smile back it's those types of things that truly helps humanity in feeling seen and not alone💚💚💚💚💚

[@zaralovestaylorsw1ft]

something that sticks with me for weeks is always smiling at strangers, but when i walk around my neighborhood, everyone is SO friendly and they always say hi, and it always makes my day. a little action that goes such a long way

[@DevonRivera-nm9zc]

@zaralovestaylorsw1ft this!!!!!!🥰🥰🥰🙌🙌🙌

[@alivialodi]

💜 We love to hear you talk!!! Girl yap as much as you want we are here for you! Some of the things you talk about really changed my perspective on life.

[@mariam_733]

11:24 ohhhh stephhh u defff should get back into making book videos and don’t let anyone ruin what u love to do 🫶🏼

[@woroodsaadeh]

i would eat up a room vlog where we watch you over the weeks decorating your room and watching it all come together. love you steph💜💜💜💜

[@jessicasheridan7]

💜 could genuinely listen to you talk about absolutely anything for the rest of my life and be completely fine. my favourite videos from you are the ones where you stay at home and chat to us

[@knightsatin]

💜 Very good advice today Steph, we need to take chances. Don't get stressed about vlogging if it doesn't happen we know why

[@anya1626]

💜💜i haven’t commented much but these videos are so comforting to me and i love when you just talk to the camera for 20 mins it feels like we’re having a girl talk🥰🥰

[@denukamahenthiran8920]

💜 I'm a silent watched and this is my first time commenting on a video.i literally love listening to you talk like as your speaking i am doing diamond painting so thank you steph !!!

[@dstgmoon]

💜 i’m a silent watcher and this is literally the first time i’ve commented on anything but i’ve watched you since 2021 and watching these videos where you’re reflecting makes me feel so proud and inspires me more than you know. we will never tire of hearing you talk

[@lula.marina]

I’m OBSESSED with how your bedroom is turning out 🩵

[@videnlu966]

I agree with everyone else, I don't want vlogmas to end!!! It feels like a warm hug every time I watch your videos Steph 💜!!!

[@bellharison2295]

I never ever comment, I am 10000% a silent watcher. BUT, if you see this I just thought you should know watching you move to Charleston gave me the courage to also make a huge move. For so long I was so scared of moving somewhere all alone and leaving everyone I knew behind but watching you do it flipped a switch and I no longer felt scared! I moved across the country and am so glad I did so thanks Steph!

[@KaitlynnNgocNguyen]

actually my favorite thing about december is your vlogmas, i'm gonna miss vlogmas so much when it ends -- what are some of your comfort places in charleston and comfort meals? ily steph

[@SannaMarieHeldaas]

You don’t understand how much I appreciate these vlogs Steph❤️ They truly are the highlight of my day⭐️

[@nouspls98]

omg, how are we the same person lol, everything from the homebody vibes to how you envision your room to the randomness of the pages in your journal … steph, all I can say is thank you for being you💜

[@JackCox1230]

Therapy was one of my resolutions 8 years ago. One of the greatest decisions I’ve ever made! You won’t regret it. You’re so well set up for it with your regular journaling practice. My resolutions are to: - keep up with my classics book club that I joined for 2025 - one chore a day - move 20 minutes a day, even if it’s simple - no scrolling before noon

[@bambinakatarina]

that wallpaper is so pretty you’ve got such a good eye 🌟💜 my question is what are some things you’ve done this year that you want to become traditions in years to come?

[@Mahantonia__]

I love it when vlogs are packed and show your life but there's something about sitting with a cup of coffee and listening to you talk for hours that just always hits the spot for me 💜

[@genevievecattrysse]

My favorite time of the day✨🎄 so excited. We love you Steph💕

[@emimcbride1368]

Steph I’m a silent watcher and I don’t think I’ve loved anyone on KZbin as much as I love watching you and your life - it’s such a comfort thing for me at this point. Wishing you a very merry Christmas from Australia! 💜

[@anjalishukla4112]

society would change overnight if more people read the book Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki

[@EmilyScholtisek]

I’m a sophomore in college and been obsessing over my future and where I’ll go after so hearing you talk about your journey was so comforting 💜

[@saniyahhafeez9137]

💜 💜 you're my big sister who always helps to make me feel less alone

[@lucaruitenberg8605]

Thank you for sharing about your feelings moving across the country. I’m in the process of moving myself, far from where I’m currently situated, and it’s so comforting to hear you share your experiences. It’s like listening to a dear friend. Love your Vlogmas, have a safe flight! 💜

[@DanaAbdelkarim]

💜💜💜 as someone who is graduating college in may and has no idea where they want to go your journey to move to charleston has been so inspiring and it’s really making me want to apply to jobs in places that I’ve always wanted to live in :)

[@izzyr497]

💜i could hnestly listen to u talk for hours. its so uplifting and makes me feel less alone.

[@abigailsabatini9692]

Hey girlll 💜 You inspire me so much. Because of one of your videos you helped me realize that this is my life and I have to trust my gut and not follow a dream that is not mine . Thank you for what you do 🥰

[@fernandamartinez3650]

💜 honestly, that talk at the end really made me realize that it doesn't have to be that scary to move and that I can actually do it on my own one day. Thank you!!

[@KayleeGillis-v5h]

💜. love videos where you just sit down and talk to the camera, makes it feel like we are on facetime it’s a calming feeling. you always talk so well and express everything so well and i loved hearing abt your story of moving to Charleston it just shows how much your life can change after just one thing.

[@thelifeof_vi]

I love your videos, having you like a friend telling me about her life while eating 😂 I watched all your videos back to your birthday last year and i just love it. You’re my comfort person because i spend a lot of time inside these days and you make me enjoy it and make me feel less alone and guilty about it. Thank you so much ! Love from a french girl who also did a year abroad in england so i totally understand your sentiment on the subject ❤

[@bhavyaarora3047]

Hi Steph! I just wanted to say thank you so much for talking about how you really felt about your move to Charleston after your senior year. I’m about to finish my senior year in about 5 months now and I’m also a person who’s always been very scared of change, but at the same time I know i need it to make me a better person. Hearing you talk about it makes me feel motivated about moving from my hometown now. I’m in a very similar situation that you were at the end of your senior year and I’ve been looking at jobs at other places but it’s all so scary. Listening to you talk about it and how it turned out to be a great experience for you helps me ALOT. thank you so much, and love you!!❤

[@zoefeofreling5576]

the comfort your vlogmas give me is UNMATCHED I don't want it to end 💜

[@user-zv8bk1ko2x]

i love and miss your book videos, i always go to your channel when i need motivation to read or do other things. i hope you start making some again bc the way you talk so passionately about the things you like motivates and helps me🫶

[@readerobsession1111]

getting criticized for things that you love is so honest. I am so passionate about writing and reading, but so many people I know constantly put me down for it or tell me to plan for an actual viable career instead of trying to become a content creator and writer in college. new year's resolution - really work on my passion project: Notes of Invisible Ink - fear of being perceived - publish a book - be active - focus on spending time alone without fomo and shame - improve my grades

[@tnyab5685]

💜💜💜 Hi Steph I’ve been a silent watcher since last vlogmas but this is truly my comfort video everyday. I’ve been doing vlogmas on Tiktok and in EVERY video I show that I’m watching yours. It’s just so comforting and wholesome and I love it!

[@raya2533]

the way anyone could sense your love for charleston, truly happy for you💜💜💜

[@aspenhackbarth9442]

💜 I’ve been a silent watcher since you had like 60k subscribers. You are the most relatable KZbinr and you’re the only KZbinr I’ve consistently watched over the past couple of years thanks for being so real!

[@Msforevermakeup21]

💜 even if you needed to take the day off for the travel day, we are just grateful to you Steph

[@raisthetics03]

I could listen to you talking for hours. sending lots of love 💜💜💜💜💜

[@yaellea6810]

I love how self aware and emotionally intelligent you are becoming. It’s making me wanna work on myself more I’ll definitely journal about 2024 and 2025 like you did

[@StéphanieGenest-o6i]

💜 been a silent watcher for years, but felt like this was perfect for a first comment ever hahah Thank you for sharing your life and for always being so real and authentic, you’ve been my comfort youtuber since literally the start of your channel 💜💜

[@m.k9275]

love seeing you doing all the simple things steph, it's never boring don't worry 💜

[@JessTeaguex]

You have inspired me so much this vlogmas to really live each day like it’s my last, and to not take any shit from people that don’t value me or my time, I cut of a 15 year friendship out of realising I was trying so hard to get her to like me and make an effort before realising she just doesn’t care so why should I, thankyou for being ur most authentic self with us, we only see a fraction of ur life but it’s honestly my favourite part of the day lately, thankyou for creating the Patreon and giving us a space to share anything and not feel judged, I hope you get everything you want out of 2025 💗💗

[@Imaneinthebooks]

Going to bed everyday thinking I will be having a notification from your channel tomorrow >>>> best feeling ever 🥺🩷 It’s gonna be so hard to go back to just one video every two weeks :( which makes us realize as viewers how much effort it takes from influencers to make videos ✨ i hope you know how much comfort you bring me since i discovered your channel 3 years ago🤍.

[@demihomewood3918]

💜 your videos are so comforting and you help me want more from my life. I feel like I’m in a rut and your videos help me so much.

[@maja-pw1hy]

hi steph!! i turned 19 today and since its my last year as a teenager (finally!!) i just wanted to thank you for making me as excited as i am about going into my 20s. youve been a comfort youtuber to me for quite a while (i discovered ur channel when i was around 15) and im just so grateful i got to grow up with u in a way. ur recommendations have greately shaped my current reading taste and youre vlogs in general have inspired me to honestly just live a fuller life!! i cant wait to be 20 and its all thanks to u⭐ also, its so fun having your birthday be during vlogmas, its like a double gift having a video on and of your birthday!! im so excited to see what u were up to on vlogmas day 19!! sending love from a silent watcher!! xx

[@erumsavja1911]

💜you're my fave KZbinr! I have loved following along with Vlogmas and with your journey since you moved, I recently moved myself and it's been such a welcome change!

[@sophie.barnes21]

I get super homesick when I travel so it is really interesting to listen to someone with a completely different mindset about moving!! 💜💜💜

[@adrianavaldes225]

💜 silent watcher here! Watching your videos is one of the main ways I de-stress at the end of the day, especially when I've had a bad anxiety day. You got me through law school finals last year and through studying to become a judge these past few months

[@sunflowerbb8527]

💜 i've honestly been loving the vlogs this year but i'm excited to hear that book videos might be coming back. I feel like even if they don't completely come back, we still get recommendations from you in vlogs which I appreciate because I love hearing your thoughts on what your current reads are.

[@moodreadsandhotcoffee]

This has been one of my all time favorite vlogmas I have seen 🖤 I worked harder in the second half of the year to read wider and I found a lot of really good reads doing that. I plan on continuing that into the next year including more backlist works. I would love to see you bring more reading and books back but I also really like your content that you’ve been creating. It’s a balance that has helped me try to balance my own stuff out.

[@louelybunny5537]

💜 i never really comment but your uploads always put me in a good mood. You're so comforting, I always wish you the best

[@kiara3779]

my question for you would be : what is your happiest memorie ? even if it’s a simple one, a moment where you felt utterly happy and whole btw i ADORE your videos and vlogmas (and you) ❤️

[@marleealexander8133]

💜 I’m usually a silent watcher (this is actually my first time commenting ever!) but i just wanted to say that you inspire me endlessly!! I moved across country around the same time that you moved to charleston, and seeing the way that you put yourself out there and fully embraced life’s changes really pushed me to do the same☺️

[@ashLnx22]

💜 Love this video, Steph, it was very calming and relaxing to watch. I find soo many things in common and makes me realise how we all think and have similar issues. Im glad you found a place to call home and are enjoying the company you now have. Cant wait for the new year to come and share it with you once again.

[@rach_reads]

Tysm for your hard work in vlogmas, it's the best part if my day!! Knowing your love for peanut butter and jellys, I recently tried this recipe and thought of you!! It's from Andy's East Coast Kitchen ❤ Wet Ingredients • 1/2 cup softened butter • 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter • 1/2 cup white sugar • 1 cup brown sugar Dry Ingredients • 2 cups flour • 1 tbs baking soda • 1/2 tsp salt • 1 cup peanut butter chips I used reeses pieces chips Stuffing • 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter • 1/2 cup Jelly, your fav! Instructions: • Preheat oven to 350F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper. • Spoon out twelve 1 tsp scoops of creamy peanut butter onto the prepared baking sheet and pop it into the freeze for 15 minutes. Use the peanut butter for the "stuffing" around 1/2 cup. • In a bowl mix together the butter, peanut butter, sugar, and brown sugar. Do not rush this process. Use a stand mixer with a paddle attachment or use a hand held mixer. You want the sugar to really dissolve into the butter. Mix for about 3 minutes. • Add in eggs and vanilla and mix until smooth. • Now pour in the flour, baking soda, salt and mix. Do not over mix here. We are just looking to have the flour totally incorporated. Once flour is mixed in, add the peanut butter chips and stir until they are incorporated. • Using a ice cream scoop or large spoon, scoop out a golf ball size scoop of the dough and place in your hand. Using your palm, flatted the dough ball until its about 1/8th of an inch thick. Now spoon 1 tsp of jelly onto the flatted dough ball and then drop one of the chilled peanut butter scoops on top of the jelly. Now using your hands fold all edges of the cookie over the peanut butter and jelly. Now in the same way you would form a snow ball, lightly press and roll the dough ball. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet. • Key tip here. These cookies spread. Do not over crowd!!! Give 3 inches between each cookie. These are biggggg. • Bake cookies for 18-20 minutes. After 20 minutes remove from the oven and let cookies sit on baking tray for 10 minutes.

[@shifaahamed25]

Hey steph, just wanna say ignore people who judge you by the book u love or love to read. I really loved to watch all the book videos u make. Love to see every other person perspective over a thing. So just do what u love to do. ❤

[@zainalkatib454]

ADORE UR LONG VLOGS. you're my comfort person! hoping my question of the day will get picked before the end of vlogmas :) Question of the day: what do you look for in a friendship?what's a green and red flag in friendships?

[@NadiaSmitsYT]

💜I've been silently watching your videos for years, but I am breaking that to say that your videos are never boring to me. You're my comfort youtuber

[@eduardabastos3658]

I’m a silent watcher since 2020, but watching vlogmas this year i just have to comment and say how much i love your vlogs. I find it so beautiful how you find joy in the small moments and show i! I’ve been struggling a lot with living alone in another country lately, and your vlogs are just such a warm hug after a tiring day. I relate to you so much, i feel like we are actually besties even living so far away from each other lol. QOD: what is your favorite childhood memory? ? Love ya

[@Charleymnr]

her house, the decor AND layout is sooo cute !! a lot of young people move into apartments or small houses with 2 bedrooms but this house gives real home vibes like this could be a house she stays in and has her family grow up in if that makes sense

[@camila-vl7ym]

💜 I I love the videos where you just talk, I would never skip them 💜

[@montanadavenport4110]

💜my goals are - read more nonfiction - start therapy/journal - get moving everyday- get a job

[@isabellakrapf7435]

I’ve been loving your vlogs I look forward to them every day. Also, my New Year’s resolution last year was to seek out therapy and it has changed my life. Honestly life gets so much easier if you understand why you’re doing certain things…turns out I was autistic/adhd and never knew! My resolution for next year is to really focus on me and what I want to do.. and I want to start dancing again 💗 Greetings from Germany

[@Nina-g8l6m]

[@caitlynrahn4287]

hey steph! i usually don’t comment but i just wanted to thank you for sharing the story of your charleston move. it gives me so much hope that things will workout and that i should put myself out there more 💗

[@pearlescentelixir2428]

💜💜 You could never be boring!! I’m the same as you I love just watching people chat and hang out

[@cloudparade4837]

💜 silent watcher here. I don’t find these videos boring at all, love them. I’m in the UK so always watch them in the evening usually before bed. You are giving me so many ideas for my 2025 resolutions and journaling journey so thank you 😊

[@Nina-g8l6m]

💜💜💜💜💜love you so much queen these vlogs have given me so much comfort as someone who is moving out for the first time in a couple months

What a privilege it is to be able grow, and change and evolve. Thank god we do not stay the same!! 💜

[@sophiehoogendoorn8031]

💜 Usually a silent watcher, but you are inspiring me more and more to not take everything so seriously. As you said, it is great to fill life with all kinds of experiences (either they’re amazing or they’ll teach you a valuable lesson)! 💜

[@ellaburrows13]

each of these vlogmas vids are so comforting, feels like were on facetime everytime i get to watch these!!

[@ananyagoel9865]

i don't know what im gonna do with myself after vlogmas is over you've spoiled us steph😭 i eat dinner and watch your vlog every night lately and youve been doing amazing with daily uploads so proud of you💜

[@Joana-b5l]

This year passed so quick and I feel like a few months ago I was watching the 2023 vlogmas videos but when Steph mentioned how much she changed, it really got me thinking about my own changes this year and I really feel like a new person. I already posted this question on another video but here it is QUESTION: if someone were to write a book about you: 1) who would be the author 2) what would be the main trope 3) who would be the male lead 4) where would it be set

[@Saraauds]

This is a very good question for her

[@pamelazuniga6279]

I'm from North Carolina and I'm graduating college in May, I accepted a full-time position in the New England area and I'm a bit nervous on moving but you made me feel so much better about it!

[@alissavaldes13]

💜 love the chill videos so much. There is something therapeutic about having a video from someone you like watching. Have a save trip and enjoy!!

[@MadelineWhite-h2j]

hey!! silent listener here, and this is my first comment - I went to Malta this summer, and I think you would love it!!! it is the most gorgeous place I have ever visited. It is slower than the more metropolitan places in Europe, my family and I would sit outside, and people watch at night. it was the best experience, and I think if you are going to Europe then maybe consider going!! anywho love you!!

[@marwafarrukh1744]

💜💜💜watching a new video from you every morning has become the highlight of my day! thanks for doing vlogmas!!! i think you're amazing and your videos being me such comfort💌🫂

[@ShahadKareemgh]

Hi 👋🏼 Steph I love you so much and appreciate everything that you do💕 Every time I feel like people around me don’t understand me I always go to your channel and rewatch you videos And I tell myself that I shouldn’t care if the get me or not because I know that you are out there and understand and I am really grateful for you and every day I thank god that I click on you video back then 🤍 Thank you so much you are the only thing that gets me through the finals now love you and I’ll support always Love from Saudi Arabia 🤍🤍🤍🤍

[@AlauraBarclayy]

I do just want to say i literally adore you Steph and you are part of the reason i started posting on my channel. I’ve always wanted to do it and you gave me that push! so thank you I love u. MY QUESTION IS when you decided you wanted to do social media full time how did your family react? and how’d you become comfortable filming in public and around people you love? OH AND I FORGOT “💜”

[@aubrijohnson1737]

💜 Silent watcher, I’m fifteen and just finished my first semester in college. I had to drop all of my friends and around that time (near last year’s vlogmas) I found you on KZbin, thank you Steph!💜

[@allisonolawsky]

💜 you are wise beyond your years and I wish I was this self-aware at 23! Thank you for sharing your reflections and lessons learned, in this video and the last.
