if you ever just want to ramble into a mic for hour segments we'd all love to listen

[@thesensitivebull3051]

ASMR ?

[@ivds7226]

I have gotta say, she is one of the cutest KZbinr on the internet .

[@fairyfarms]

Truth! :)

[@insyirah7675]

there's something so comforting and calming about this particular video - the background music, the beautiful background, annabelle's soothing voice, and all the little things. it's currently 2:33 a.m. here and your video (in the best possible way) is prompting me to sleep soon. to whomever reading this, I hope your day or night is well. stay safe my friends 🌙

[@Eli-bk3hq]

Thanks. I have to agree, as well. It's like welcoming feeling of home or something you can trust.

[@Sophie-is3jh]

I’m sure they get in the way, but those long bangs are SO cute

[@Whateverislying]

i knoooww, riiiggghhtt ?! * heartseyes *

[@janelasafia2367]

I ActuaLLy have bangs, they don't get in the way if they're not too long like covering your eyes and stuff. My bangs don't cover my eyes and they don't get in the way :). So if you want to get bangs and you don't want them to get in the way, go for it! ;D

[@edithamaeulanday1871]

Tired with all the overwhelming activities from online class. And this is the break that I deserve 💕

[@ayatidobhal8530]

i agree with the fact that ppl who are critical of others the most are really critical of themselves deep down. I think they're so conscious of it because they know how easy it is for them to be critical of others and they fear the same treatment from others. Their criticisms become their inner voice .

My April Favorites - Annabelle’s vlogs 💛

[@yeonha775]

I watched Reply 1988 with my parents who were around the same age during that time in Korea and it was honestly crazy to see them laugh at jokes I didn't catch or cry so deeply at things I know I'll never understand - it was such a bonding experience 🥰

[@riiroiro]

hm, when you talked about "healing", i somehow suddenly remembered a time, about a year and a half ago around christmas, when i was in a bad space and i turned to your videos for comfort and you told me something along the lines of "you cannot pour from an empty glass"... i'm definitely in a better place now, and seeing as to how you too are a changed and better person from the Annabelle back then, allows me to believe that some good can come out of this world despite how seemingly cruel it is, as long as we give it time. thank you.

[@amyloucanning]

the wall collage is looking so lovely too

[@radredcherry9013]

you having a podcast would be a dream come true i love your talking and chit chat videos so much . your videos are so well put together yet natural. they are very well done and i love all the little paintings and writings , the way you edit and basically everything about your videos . they are very precious to me . i hope you are well and happy . Thank you for sharing these beautiful videos .

[@ivds7226]

Her editing skills, fonts, animations, song selection are just aMazING !! lots of love from India

[@r3giancy]

okay someone tell me why Annabelle singing moral of the story actually gave me chills

[@darkacademiacafe8238]

I really enjoyed your explanation and the way you’ve lived reading through the book, the whole concept of silence while flipping a graphic novel is something I struggle with. I think it’s because I’m more a writer and a reader than anything else, so I crave words more than drawings, which is why I found so interesting to hear your perception of it. Big love

[@katiaduran5146]

Lovely video🌿✨ If you enjoyed Reply 1988, I definitely recommend Hospital Playlist. It is by the same writer and director of reply. You can find it on Netflix too

[@airasakura]

Katia Durán im watching it too!! I actually started it because of Jongsuk and lemme just say any series and movies with him in it = good 💯

[@jenniferduncan6959]

annabelle, I always watched your vlogs this past year when I was living in the dorm for the first time. I would put them on when I needed to be motivated and get stuff done, when i watch your videos I think of the time I spent there. living in the dorm really suited me. In march I had to move mine and my roommate's stuff out. while my dad and I were moving, he suddenly collapsed. he had a heart attack, he died in that dorm. my life will never be the same after what I saw and lost that day, but watching your stuff helps me feel normal again, and I can think of better days where I had smaller things to worry about. thank you for that.

[@ceceria860]

I was born and raised in SoCal and I rarely get allergies, but when I moved to Texas I got severe allergies lol The pollen over here is terrible during the spring.

[@samanthacastillo9033]

Girl me too 😆

[@smcaaz1966]

Same thing happened to me when I moved to Phoenix.

[@annabellegao]

ohh my : 0

[@dijononthetube]

same. i'm from nm and was fine until i got to the east coast. thank god for my alellergist!

[@prittyyyy]

I finished 1988 last week and just finished 1997! I looved 88 because of the structure, it reminds me of Gilmore Girls - the homeness I guess. The sheep sound also happens on the other ones! At least on 1997 it does haha

[@Kidz212]

youre the only youtuber whose video I watch every second of. I dont know what it is, but its like listening to a friend talk and ramble on. I like it and it feels comfortable. Thank you for making these videos!

[@caitlin6159]

i loved reply 1988!! it was so fun and really cheered me up

[@Aeronautisk]

I really agree about products that add something to the space! The aesthetics are part of a product’s functionality, and really deepens its emotional durability for me to use it and care for it more and for longer than products whose packaging I don’t really like 💌✨

[@swanily]

Hey y’all!! I made a playlist with music recommendations for Annabelle, my Spotify is thirteenswans. If you want to add recs too you can comment or send me a message and I’ll send you the link so you can be a collaborator! I hope you like the idea 🥰

[@tashgrace2650]

this was such a calming video, and your singing is lovely :)

[@miya_the_genuine]

Reply 1988 too is genuinely my favourite kdrama if not favourite of the whole genre of tv series. It‘s so well written and acted. I‘ve never felt as much of a fit for actor & character as i have with this show. They really worked hard on that one. It’s absolutely funny and heart touching and so true in every aspect. PS: if you haven’t had it i recommend the biscoff creme but with crunch! it’s even better (in my opinion at least!) thank you for sharing your time with us again. much health and happiness to you, your family and cats !

[@7205Lily]

Yes! I love Reply 1988! I feel like I haven’t been able to find a kdrama that’s better or made me feel the same way.

[@taylorrp2090]

I'd love to hear more about that Self Mapping book, seems like something that could be super helpful to myself right now. I will look at it online but I find it a lot more helpful with people speak about books here on KZbin, it really helps to grasp what they think about it and understand what the book is truly about. 😇

[@SophiaShinAhreum]

would also recommend signal and hospital playlist as shows that bring you pockets of human joy ✨ i also love how you describe the smallest personable details in such a vivid and lovely way! thank u annabelle for ur calm grounding and positive presence always, lots to learn from you on my end!!

[@chronicfish]

So I watched *A Secret Love* on Netflix (a doco) .. and haven't stopped crying for the past two days! Such a beautiful storyline.

[@lemogradient7526]

What you said about people being critical about others and it being rooted to them being critical of themselves is so true. Sometimes we just project what we can't accept about ourselves deep down. Really nice things to think about Annabelle!

[@briannasmith6598]

I love Phoebe Bridgers and am so excited that you've discovered her. I've met Noah Gunderson twice. He's an incredible musician.

[@kathryn1397]

This is my favourite space on KZbin ✨

[@corryndarnell]

the intro was so adorable! You inspire me sm annabelle :)

[@sunii.studio]

Thank you, Annabelle. Lately, I have been struggling deeply with the shame of feeling insecure. All the articles I read on the internet seem to correlate toxicity to insecurity. I feel like any negative thoughts towards myself and others always stemmed from insecurity. I always feel so ashamed and want to get better. It was so cathartic hearing you speak about the stigma against insecurity and how we can always improve on ourselves in a compassionate way. Hearing you speak brought me a lot of hope!

[@femmetaurus390]

Wow your hair looks so great styled like this!!! I’ve never tried glossier but I honestly really think that I need to! The lipgloss looks gorg on you! Love your channel :)

[@Adrinananoodle]

Yesss I loved the movie 1917 and I totally didn't think I would. I was never really a fan of war movies. I remember seeing it in the theater and after like a good 45 minutes in I was so amazed when I realized it was a continuous shot. I love how atmospheric the movie is. I really appreciate movies that are not only just focused on the story but also the ambience, the sounds, and the way shots are composed. It really shows how those things can really impact a film.

[@funkygiraffe998]

I know you don’t like fruit 😬 but if anyone else sees this a you HAVE to try biscoff spread with strawberries. It’s incredible.

[@poppy.mallow]

Frankie as someone who loves both strawberries and biscoff and never thought to combine them THANK YOU for imparting your wisdom 🍓✨

[@daphnierazo1106]

aaah i'm currently watching reply 1988 and i love it so much! i'm so happy that you watched it too ♥

[@poppydriver4145]

I've been subscribed to your channel since your first year in RISD, and I've loved watching your journey in college. It's impossible to deny how hard working you are, and I am so excited to see what this new chapter in your life brings you. I know that due to the pandemic that not all things are going to plan, but I have no doubt in my mind that you will be successful, where ever life takes you. I feel like I may of commented something similar before, but I really cannot remember, so I'd rather do it twice than not do it at all. Wishing the best for you and your family during these times.

[@MsElainetv]

Her hair is gorgeous, makeup is so SunKissed🍋 very pretty!

[@ayencbg]

Same! When I was living in Hawaii, I didn't suffer any allergies at all. But when I moved to Seattle...wow! Suffering from allergies now too.

[@Kamazaki1901]

I came across your channel back in 2017, right after I graduated from college in New England and was in a moment of post-bacc crisis that I think many often experience. I cant remember the exact video, but the vlog/get ready with me/soft transition montage edits overlaid with TV Girl ambience had me instantly hooked. Your perspective on an everyday experience is so refreshing and I feel so present with your vlogs. At a time when I was processing my quasi graduated life and getting stressed about what will come next, your videos were-and still are-a wonderful reminder of being present with yourself and taking the time in the day to reflect and heal. Thank you Annabella! P.S. I recommend Jakob Ogawa 🎵

[@halfmoons.]

spotify premium was life changing for me tbh lol i also make monthly playlists so i can make the most of it and i check the release radar weekly!! and it's fun to see your own spotify wrapped at the end of each year

[@laurendordevic9218]

that INTRO made me SO HAPPY. I just wanted to say that you are amazing and beautiful. Keep on keeping on :)

[@naomifitzgerald1403]

i would LOVE to see a video on your journaling

[@jupitired777]

I love killer + the sound so much, it's such a beautiful song

[@turtlejoy4ever]

I love Moral of the Story!! I'm so glad such a gentle song has also been loved by one of my favorite youtubers :)

[@swanily]

I felt the same way about 1917! I walked out of the theatre saying that it was my favorite movie that I would never want to watch again. Such a good film

[@swanily]

Also the timed commercial break.... *chefs kiss*

[@sadiebates2225]

yesss i love big thief!!! such amazingly personal sound; they always make me cry good tears :')

[@katielucys]

1917 was filmed at an air field where I’m originally from in Buckinghamshire in England! It was wild - you could drive past and see all of the filming and hear it all from my town!

[@shiny2925]

sketching while watching this was the most relaxing thing I've done in a while

[@StoriesForCoffee]

thank you for giving us another calming video to watch during these weird times. I hope the last few weeks of your semester go smoothly and you’re doing okay ✨🤍

[@claydean28]

i'm late to watching but this video was so refreshing to watch. i haven't been feeling myself lately but i found comfort in this video, and often find comfort in your channel. thank you for the positivity and love. sending some your way x

[@chrstlncnnn]

you are so adorable annabelle 😭 i've been watching your videos since 2017 and i'm just so amazed to see how you've grown to be the beautiful woman that you are now!!! aaaa

[@naomilee1066]

my attention span has been the shortest in my life current i cant sit still but sitting down and watching this video without any distractions really helped me. thank you so much:)

[@inmimisbowl]

I had so much fun listening to you, Annabelle :) and seeing Bambi's little paw poking out every now and then just makes me so happy. and love your singing voice!

[@AwkTierra]

I love favorites like this! Especially since I have so much time these days or need something to distract myself, knowing what you've been watching, reading, and been interested in inspires me to seek what you rec'ed and more. I really really needed something chill like this, so thank you Annabelle!

[@potatochip7257]

masterpiece is LITERALLY a masterpiece

[@guillegarcia8458]

Love that you spoke a little about insecurities and the whole concept of validation that we sometimes build around ourselves. It's so nice when people openly talk about these issues, especially KZbinrs, who have a different and more diverse way to aproach people

[@rinpoppu]

I'm glad you loved Reply 1988! It's my most favorite kdrama ever

[@yndianna]

I would welcome the idea of a podcast from you Annabelle, about your work or whatever else. I just took my breakfast listening to you, and it was somehow calming, especially that singing interlude, and of course Bambi's appearance 😊

[@dyules7686]

your videos make me happy and calm, even when i am struggling in life. thank you for keeping me company. 💗

[@vnchen00]

that sheep sound at the ending hahaha

[@wenlinyang384]

reply1988 is always my top 1 k drama!

[@isaisa894]

thank u annabelle! I am also in an art major. Watching this as i take a break from the final project. It is such a comforting video and it is so nice to hear u sharing. Hope u are all well.

[@Luna-lf8so]

the self mapping book sounds so interesting i can't wait to hear you talk about it and self reflection in general more ☺️

[@heretoday7x]

Seeing Big Thief is one of the last things I did in the normal world on March 1st. They were really good. Enjoyed the vid too!

[@WonderingTree]

It’s nice to know one of my favourite you tubers who I see as incredibly successful and creative share their struggles and worries to their audience. Ever since I left college and start a part time job, I’ve been terrified of how my future would turn out. I always compare myself to my friends who seems to live perfect lives. And to see someone I’ve looked up to for years share relatable stories brings a lil hope to me. Let’s pray this situation gets better..

[@bigfrog6401]

omg i can relate so much with the dry skin problems :(( especially with all the pain from stinging ointments and lotions.

[@agiabone2000]

I loved loved loved this video, it gave me such a great sense of happiness and comfort to watch you just chat through the things that have been giving you joy in these hard times

[@cathyartt5577]

Annabelle! I love these podcast kind of videos~ they are so calming it feels like you’re just having a casual conversation with all of us and it’s so genuine! Thank you for making my day! (Literally 1am here but I gotta watch bc this is gonna make me happy all day)

[@gerielebulaglag3975]

Its such a coincidence that you mentioned Reply 1988 because I have been rewatching it for the second time and had just started the last episode this morning ! It's not only my favorite kdrama but my favorite show of all time because it's so funny but realistic and heartfelt and wholesome (like I had just finished the episode where the family deals with their mom going through menopause, what an interesting topic ! Nonetheless I cried a lot in the episode). I 100% recommend watching it !!! (I also just want people to talk to about it hehe)

[@abbyrwhite]

I really enjoy listening about all the tiny details, I feel like I ramble in a similar way because I place a lot of value on the small things. Thanks for catching us up :)

[@saraik6397]

my power went out after a storm here in nashville. thank you for this video.

[@blackmill]

ahh i love the little log pencil holder ;_; also i'm so happy you like the reply series !!!!

[@josephinec9488]

random side note: absolutely appreciate that the KZbin ad I got for this video was timed perfectly with your "intermission"

[@laurenns1781]

reply 1997 is one of my ALL TIME favorites it just hits different even though i’m a 2000 baby😗

[@tiramisoso]

i've been feeling so miserable the past week and listening to you talk about anything has just calmed me down a little. it was very much needed,

[@kyliemena6869]

I really enjoy these more conversational videos. I watch everything u make but these feel so personal and like I’m chatting w you!

[@limentian]

i love this chill favourites video! also i really love your hair ^^ and yay to Reply series~~ I also really like Reply 1988! Rewatched it 2 - 3 times already hehe

[@cmlandresc]

yes to a video on journaling!

[@miri7653]

You look so beautiful in this video!! Also, the biscoff spread comes in a crunchy version which is literally amazing i highly recommend :))

[@jupitired777]

Aww the monthly favourites are back!!

[@kimk.0706]

The later part of the video really got me thinking. It's the exact same feeling or the situation as i am in... and realized that yeah it really is a solo journey, huh. Thank you Annabelle for sharing your precious time with us :)

[@moyaruston7783]

I really enjoy these style of talking videos especially about things you enjoy and what you've been up to its really nice to see! and thankyou for the great book recommendations!

[@jaredvlogs8891]

Annabelle, if u loved the Reply 1988, u'll also love 'Be Melodramatic.' I'm korean but i don't watch k-dramas because most of them are typical and full of unrealistic cliches, but 1988 and Be Melodramatic are just exceptional. SO GOOD.

[@vickisigh2674]

your videos are so calming, thank you so much for making them! i’m also currently in love with balm dot com. i’ve only used cherry but rlly want to try coconut next!

[@4kenma]

u have no idea how happy i was to get a notification for ur video and have a moment of rest and joy and get away from working on my uni final works love u

[@cassidytamburro6749]

I took an Asian American Women Writers class last quarter taught my an Asian American prof. We were introduced to so many wonderful writers and the stereotypes and struggles they have gone through. I would recommend two graphic novels we read in class, "The Best We Could Do" by Thi Bui and " "Good Talk" by Mira Jacob!

[@beeswithtoast7154]

These are similar to podcasts to me. I love hearing you talk about your life. You know how to make even the most simple daily challenges interesting!

[@alexaplayyy]

Really enjoyed the more casual vibe of this favorites vid🦄

[@tuan9108]

i loooove Reply:1988 i cried so much after watching it. It felt like saying goodbye to my own friends :/

[@AngelinaLoreeWhitt]

I love when you have inspiring vlogs of your normal days and I also love when you just sit down and talk about random things in a long video. Your content is something I look forward to seeing more on youtube. ♡

[@julesrox2199]

I love this video Annabelle :) You seemed very at peace and genuinely happy! I have also been experiencing seasonal allergies and live right outside NYC so I feel you!

[@CandaceFormosa]

i was so happy when you started talking about music! big thief and phoebe bridgers are two of my favorite artists.

[@melinaillulina4286]

21:28 really hits home here. My family hasn't really been supportive of my decision to persuade a career as an illustrator, but the community gives me a lot of hope. It has opened so many doors and let me meet so many interesting and lovely people! Please do more of these videos in the future, I really enjoyed listening to it (and watching it of course haha). Sending love!

[@MathandMakeup]

Can I just say I love her videos!? They are all so good. Your sense of humor is great. The video was informative and funny! and your description of that gloss reminded me of the Lion King when they said slimy yet satisfying LOL

[@trinity3834]

I really enjoyed your video! When you talked about seeking validation from others, I was really touched. Thank you! 💛

[@megh1521]

This was such a relaxing video! Really enjoy listening to your opinions on the world and would love to see a video on journaling in the future 💛

[@neopolitanlights]

biscoff creme is so good with apples, it basically tastes like apple pie and is an awesome snack!
