VLOGMAS 2018: Christmas in NYC + End of Year Anxiety

[@kackie]

Anyone else remember the original “I’ll vlog every daaay til Christmas FOR YA” song? 💖💖💖

[@_special_k_]

Kackie Reviews Beauty yassssss! Miss those days - have re-watched them like 6 times I think... the best Christmas spirit

[@nappturity5429]

was singing it in my head!!

[@rawdaahmed1872]

kackie reviews I literally watch those vlogs every year and they make me miss the old times even more :(

[@katiemclain2946]

Literally just went back to Vlogmas videos from 6 years ago, because I thought Erica favored Luke, and wow does she. Anyway, heard the intro song. So cute.

[@gabimaza780]

Kackie Reviews Beauty yeah I was expecting that hahah but shits changed. Fuck that guy who wrote that song and sang it. (Cuz wasn’t it her ex bf who treated her like shit?)

[@sarinavillegas6588]

Iv'e said this before, but watching your videos and vlogs make me want to not be lazy and actually do work. I admire your productivity and work ethic and I LOVE how you balance your time between work and leisure. I love watching you in NYC, its one it's my favorite place and you highlight all the best parts of the city. Your videos are the BEST Ingrid, much loveee!!

[@TheGoldProject]

This was so much fun to watch. Erica seems to be an amazing person. So happy that you are happy. Big hugs from Arkansas!!!

[@spockos]

i read once about how we go through cycles just like the earth---it seems like you're embracing the natural changing of the seasons by slowing down and finding stillness in the winter. you've accumulated heat working all year long and now you can use it to keep you warm through the darker, slower, quieter times of winter. love you and thank you, I always look to your videos for some peace of mind

[@MyJewishMommyLife]

Yay love seeing Erica in the vlogs!! So cute 💕

[@cathyrined9984]

I'm very happy yet surprised that you introduced Erica to us 🤗

[@user-st2cw1ly7e]

Tayto in the morning is a whole mood

[@lbridge2010]

You're living my dream life right now! I mean... I know nothing is a "dream life" but I would love to live in New York City, especially around Christmas time with a dog and have someone that loves me. Wow.

[@erikasankary5517]

!

[@jadajonesoldchannel]

Queen of vlogmas tbh

[@kathyvcelestial123]

the OG creator

[@LailiBirdy]

I would love to see some NYC content! Specifically dressing for the cold weather, moving to New York City (moving across country, finding places to live, finances, etc), and favorite things to do!

[@spacey.3198]

Ingrid, your vlogmas has been my absolute favorite this year. It brings me back to when I first started watching KZbin and I’d watch GridMonster everyday! Ugh i miss the old KZbin days! I just love it!

[@lilyknows8281]

Ingrid you are the best of vlog type videos . I realize this while watching your last vlogmas video and I wish you did this videos everyday but I understand you for not doing it 💕 Just for the record nobody’s vlogmas feels like this. We just love you and so thankful you are doing vlogmas this year ☺️💕

[@Karlibra]

This is my new favorite video ever! You really have such a lovely approach to life, and I’m so glad to experience it with you by these videos! You’re honestly the best vlogger ever. If you did one of these every week, I’m sure no one would complain! You make everyone feel so comfortable.

[@erikasankary5517]

good idea!

[@thatsmahlon]

Erica's segment had me in stitches. Great vlog!

[@maxineknight4063]

I think it's awesome that you got everything for the end of this year and beginning of next done ahead of time so you could enjoy the holidays. It's a brilliant idea and I really admire how much planning and work you guys put into it! You definitely deserve to take this time to slow down and relax. Also I'm loving the weekly vlogs!!

[@tyv3229]

I cannot tell you how many times I have watched “Spirit of Christmas.” ❤️❤️❤️ I even watch it during the summer time when Christmas is far from my mind.

[@christineeeb]

can you do a video on apartment hunting in nyc?

[@foodiethebeauty]

"Christmas garbage movies." Haha Netflix doesn't have a shortage of those.

[@Marielle824]

Hach.... you are truly my first and only vlogmas youtuber. I still remember your first vlogmas seasons with joey, gift wrapping, nugget, Christmas tree counting at Luke’s snowed in house, bath and body works candles and so on and so on..thinking of these days makes me very nostalgic and very proud and happy for you! I am sending you love and good energy from Germany!

[@Snappylove]

Nice that we could see Erica😘

[@Diva1092]

Is Erica her friend or girlfriend?

[@Snappylove]

@@Diva1092 girlfriend

It’s on my bucket list to see NYC all decorated for Christmas. So I can only imagine all the feels you get when you go into Manhattan during this time of year.

[@elsacuadros6192]

From your local friendly veterinary student: Thank you very much for keeping your dog vaccinated and on heartworm prevention!! Especially the canine influenza vaccine is so important right now with all of the outbreaks in the last year, and it's lovely to see another dog that's protected!

[@briannasbeautycorner9866]

When you said "Read the paper" my little journalist heart exploded

[@breezegilbert7080]

Erica and Ingrid, so adorable 😍

[@kathyvcelestial123]

To the queen who created vlogmans...glad you're vlogging.

[@lianaz906]

The reason why I love listening to music when walking around is that it makes me feel like I’m in a vlog. Everything is more colorful and meaningful with some background music.

[@jaimebh30]

I love The Spirit of Christmas! I have watched it multiple times. Christmas in New York looks very magical.

[@owlcatxx]

Dear Ingrid, I’m going to echo what many others have said in the comments and say it feels amazing to soak up your calm, contEnt, and intentional vibes through your vlogmas videos. I’m your age, and have also struggled through my Saturn return, as you mentioned you did in a video sometime ago. It‘s very soothing to see you on the other side of that and savoring life. 💛 And like someone else commented, I wouldn’t be mad if you chose to weekly vlog every once in a while outside of vlogmas 😉 Happy holidays!

[@fallonelle]

Ingrid!!!! I’m SO glad and grateful that you’re back. I know you said in the past that you weren’t into vlogging anymore, so thank you so much for sharing all of this with us. Your vlogs were always my favorite videos. I know it’s not really your style anymore, but (especially now that you have a new exciting life in NY and I’ve always wanted to live there!!) it would be AMAZING if you could keep vlogging every now and then even once Christmas is over 💕

[@liz-tastic.]

The most relatable content: you talking about the Christmas trash 🤣 my partner makes so much fun of me for my love of garbage Christmas movies 🎄🎁 I loved the vlog btw, so relaxing

[@geolex4560]

omg, i love erica already. y'all seem great together

[@melsdayoff7514]

YOU AND ERICA ARE SO CUTE

[@emmacauvin]

I love hearing your insights on anything really! You're articulate and well-spoken and I really appreciate your mature and positive attitude towards life. Also, I feel like your thoughts about life and balance and work etc. always give a 23 year old like me something intersting to reflect on or learn from. I've been following your channel for almost four years now and with time it's definitely become my favorite channel on KZbin. Also you're doing a great job with Vlogmas, I love your vlogging style and the weekly format! I'm really glad you're having a nice holiday season with Erica and Tayto (they're so cute) and I wish you all the best

[@LovegirlStephany]

Yes!! I really love your vlogs because its different... Most youtubers are showing them running around buying everyone presents and trying to get everything done. But you are relaxing and it also helps me calm myself.... Great vlog!

[@erinclegg2315]

Just wanted to drop in the comments and say that I love your energy, your smile, you and Erica are adorable! This whole vlogmas made me smile! I was having a really hard day, and this made me want to get out of bed. Thank you. So excited for you to continue living in stillness during this holiday time and for the 2019 videos!

[@1989Annia]

finally! i really feel you are sincere and comfortable and it is so refreshing to see.

[@Neeshpeesh123]

I love the thoughtful way you approach your life. 😊

[@KathyReyes612]

I'm lowkey (highkey) jealous that Oatly is available at your grocery store. For some reason the West coast distribution is lagging and I can't find any Oatly anywhere in Southern California.

[@fluffofnine]

Kathy Reyes same!!

[@LivvWalrond]

I love you calmness and your honesty! Really refreshing to see some calming vlogmas videos!x

[@MidnightSunJJaz]

Fun vlog! Makes me miss your daily vlogging 💕 yay for Tayto and Erica cameos!

[@thatanggi]

I love that you're doing vlogmas again. I'd love to see more books recommendation too!

[@mariadexter9425]

You have such a calming voice to listen to. I love your videos and look forward to more vlogmas videos. As you say we must center ourselves to male it thru the holidays. Merry Christmas Ingrid 🎁

[@sbear6798]

So happy for your Vlogmas this year; oh how I've missed it! You are a bright, beautiful, genuine spirit Ingrid who brings nothing but joy through these videos. So happy you are finding a happy medium that allows yourself a reserve of that same joy. Erica seems lovely; and Tayto, is everything!

[@MrsDavis913]

You are so lucky Tayto doesn’t want to go out the second you open your eyes in the morning. He is adorable!!!

[@audrey9140]

Ingrid! Omg I loved this vlog so, so much. It feels like you've settled into yourself and that you're in a really healthy place. I know this year has been a challenge but it seems like your finding things that make you happy, make you feel grounded, and setting intentional plans for your life to make it what you want it to be. I could not be happier for you! I've watched your videos for five years (where has the time gone?!) and while I like all your content, this vlogmas feels so "homey" in the same way that makes a lot of your videos really special. It's cozy, genuine, funny, and full of inspiring Ingrid-isms. It's so great to see you thriving. P.s. I literally shrieked when Erika came on screen, paused the video, and screamed to my husband "finally!! AHH! YAY, AWWW!" because I can tell that you think the world of her and I want nothing but happiness for the both of you.

[@sweetness371]

My favorite videos of your are the old Vlogmas videos and your vlogs from the first time you lived in New York. So this Vlogmas is sooo perfect. I love seeing your slice of life in the Big Apple ;) Please keep vlogging once in a while after Vlogmas is over!

[@valeriegoulettalbot9900]

Tayto was so excited to see Erica, too cute!! 😭😍😍😍

[@heyitsheidijay]

I love seeing Erica in the vlogs! You two are just precious!

[@theresag.4188]

Your videos are so calm. Makes me happy! Everything is so chaotic. We all need some Ingrid in our life!

[@sweeppeech]

It’s so lovely to see you and Erica together 😊 nothing more festive than folks being sweet in love 🥰🥰🥰

[@briarrosette]

I'm LIVING for all the Tayto footage!!

[@joeyreibling2579]

So since you moved to NYC, do you feel that NYC daily living or LA daily living is easier? I’ve lived in Manhattan and also had it have a car for my job and it was such a difficult adjustment for daily living. I didn’t live in a building with laundry so I had to go to a laundromat and I also had a 30 minute train ride to pick up my car. I’m back in Cincinnati and life is just so much easier in my opinion. But compared to LA, I’m curious. Also, I’d love to see a video of why you prefer NYC to LA! Seems like a great comparison video for your channel! Love you 😘

[@zechariahbaker9598]

there’s nothing like unwinding from a long day cozied up in bed w my favorite blanket, a cup of tea, and watching ur newest vlog

[@stylecauldron]

It’s so fun to see you living in NYC. I want to come down soon and see the tree, and visit Brooklyn. I’ve only been there a couple times and it looks so beautiful

[@48hm9]

I watched the Spirit of Christmas last week after randomly finding it on Netflix. Might be one of my new favs!

[@oliviaglick7032]

Oh my gosh I’m so happy we got to see Erica in a vlog!! You all look like such a cute little family especially with tayto awww

[@livb7322]

Does your apartment have an upstairs? That’s awesome!

[@bellajenna87]

it looks like she has a townhouse type of apartment.

[@ebecky4275]

Jenna K I think its in Park Slope.

[@theyellowkind]

You seem so happy and Erica seems like a great person!!! Love from North Dakota!

[@XNAUDiAUDiX]

Absolutely loved this vlog! Tayto in the morning is too funny. So happy that you introduced Erica to us. You truly look so happy where you are in life and you smile so much more with Erica around. Congrats on finding your peace and taking time for yourself and owning it.

[@sm23456]

loved seeing little adventures around the city

[@DeidraBeee]

Me too! Love that she is in NYC

[@MichParker]

I’m at NY right now and it’s so beautiful!! ❤️ Christmas time in this city is something else! 🎄😍

[@jamischlafer7804]

the spirit of christmas is the BOMB! omg, i love that movie. a couple years ago, i used to knit and it was my go to knitting christmas movie.

[@evf1417]

This was great to watch. Thanks for sharing Erica, she seems awesome and you two look very happy together. Long time viewer and always happy to see you happy.

[@laurabacio7735]

I love seing your blog especially because we can see Brooklyn and New-York in general and I love this city so much..

[@taliajo118]

I love Tayto!! It brings happy tears to my eyes to see him loving life!!

[@gabrielawilde]

[@bethow4080]

I have missed your vlogs so much... I love that they are back 🙌🙌🙌 literally watch the first vlogmas, thanks for sharing your life 💜x

[@metalsally1]

I looooooove “garbage” christmas movies. Soooooo many clinches and they are sooooo sickeningly sweet but I love love loooooove watching them

[@maire6392]

I have loved watching your videos for years! I love how consistent you are. You seem so genuine!

[@LissaAOE]

I’d love to watch a video where you talk about your career, beyond KZbin. The businesses and things you work on

[@michelleromero3425]

Daaaang! Tayto eats better than I do! 😂

[@starlightvampire]

OMG! I totally remember that view of the bridge from your previous place in NY. Also so happy to see Erika in the vlogs ♥

[@daisyak16]

I’m so happy to see you vlogging like this. I’ve watched your videos for years!! Back when you were in college!

[@SuperEnthused]

Lol I wish my doggie stayed snuggled, she is UP AND AT EM every morning, she wants to go out and go potty first thing! NYC is so beautiful at Christmas time! What a cozy, lovely vlog, loved spending the day with you!!

[@AdventureswithAmirah]

OMG😍 Your sweet little croissant dog. Lol. Absolutely adorable, and I can truly see how much joy he brings to your life. I've been watching you for so many years now, and wanted to say THANK YOU for always putting out such positive content (no matter what the circumstances may be.) Happy holidays to you!🎄🎁🎄

[@0verlydr4matic]

this vlog has been very tayto filled and im all for it!!

[@lorihaley2292]

I freaking love my keep cup! Erica has a nice energy!

[@ascubadoo3151]

Was beyond happy to see this. Have missed your vlogmas for past couple of years, so happy it’s back!

[@AnnswerMonster]

I really love your calm energy and what you're saying. Have been following you for YEARS now (just checked and definitely watched that vlogmas 5 years ago, so probably even longer than that? 😳) and it's just amazing to see you grow and get wiser and just the energy that you bring about. I feel like it has changed a bit over the years but in a good way, we're all growing and can share what we learn along the way. I'm feeling especially inspired by what you said about planning well to take time off and I'm definitely that person that would feel like that must mean something wrong, but this year i'm working on embracing those moments and planning time off and switching off in general. Thanks, Ingrid for that energy and inspiration 😌🙏🏻 #namaste 😊

[@Lulab88]

I love your thoughtful and intentional approach to everyday life. So inspiring!

[@brightwithspirit]

You, Erica and Tayto are a sweet little family. Xo

[@dawnnoele]

I absolutely love your vlogs...it’s a little glimpse into living in NYC!

[@zemyxoxo]

INGRIDDDDD! !!! I have finally worked up the guts to restart my youtube channel, after watching you and so many other like influencers. You are so open and honest and bubbly it has compelled me to shoot for my dreams this year. I love and respect you, HAPPY NEW YEAR XOXO, Zemy

[@cynou]

Hey Ingrid! Loved this week's Vlogmas! Was just wondering where your winter coat is from? I love it! Looks amazing on you 🙂

[@shinikstarlight4300]

this vlog really inspires me to take better care of myself, and find more of a balance, this is such good content 💕

[@emilygreenthegreenadventur2110]

OMG! I just watched The Spirit of Christmas the other night! 😂 Merry Christmas, Ingrid!

[@andreaazurin5239]

I'm also from NYC. Please schedule a meet-up w/ ur fans here. Would love to meet you. I've been a fan for years.

[@AshleyLBergg]

The spirit of Christmas is SO GOOOOOD. HOT GHOST ALERT

[@samdancing]

I loved this video! Thank you for reminding me to slow down...I work in retail so this time of year is so crazy

[@erikasankary5517]

love you Ingrid! you made me feel so peaceful just now watching this! very proud of you gurl~

[@josephinelandgraf3128]

I really like this new Vlogmas format. I grew up with you, watching from far yet still closely every video that you upload here. Nowadays I have also a more busy life, catching up on your video once a week does actually fit better in my schedule than would a daily vlog 🤗. Thanks! Looking forward to the next one ❤️ love from Europe!

[@_special_k_]

I miss nugget.....

[@mimi061301]

Special Key where is Nugget ?

[@_special_k_]

Myriam Fellah if I remember it correctly, her mom has him now

[@brooke6778]

When Ingrid was living half in Cali and half in NY, her mom got attached to nugget so he lives with her permanently

[@lesmortimers4791]

Special Key I bet Ingrid does, too.

[@_special_k_]

Les Mortimers I bet if she was, she would have taken him back or mentioned him for once

[@georgiebarrett8229]

I'd love to see more of your surroundings, especially of the New York streets!

[@tiffanyl891]

Vlogmas queen! My dog also had the lyme and k9 flu shot this past October for the first time; he is doing great, but noticed a little dry cough. Our vet gave him antibiotics after for his cough; let us know how Tayto does! This was the first time my dog had dry cough after his vaccinations, but also first time for the lyme and K9 influenza shots. Keep up the great vlogs!

[@angeraptor]

Okay Spirit of Christmas was soooo bad-good. I was explaining the plot to a friend who asked what happened at the end, and mid way through I was reminded of just how ridiculous the movie was. If you haven't already, Life Size 2: A Christmas Eve is a MUST-WATCH on Hulu.

[@bfavaro1]

Omg I love seeing Erica! Also I love seeing a peek into your daily life! Also, Tayto could not be any cuter 💓

[@xoxokatieboo]

I’ve always respected the privacy you’ve maintained regarding your relationship but I have to be honest- it was so lovely to get to meet her more in this vlog :) You’re both wonderful

[@juliafranceschini3630]

Yes, I saw "The Spirit of Christmas" last year, it was a hoot!

[@larasummer28]

I just love your long Vlogmas-Week Videos! Maybe you could do here an there some weekly vlogs! :)

[@justbreakaway1]

Your vlogs make me feel so calm & happy! Love them 💕
