[@katieferguson]

you don’t understand how proud i am of zoe for vlogging in public alone!!! 👏🏻 wishing you all the best :)

[@Sah0419]

I love that ottie repeats herself until you all understand what she’s saying. It’s so sweet and she’s so patient

[@GeorgaaJGarcia]

Anything longer than 25 mins is perfect!! Anything shorter gets you hooked and then finishes too soon😂 LONGER THE BETTER

[@sarawall955]

Thank you for normalizing anxiety around this! I go through the exact same thing. Even grocery stores are so hard to do alone!!

[@kathilandauer7820]

It doesn't sound stupid at all, as a fellow anxious girl I FEEL YOU ❤ really proud of you and happy for you that you went 🤗

[@rachelchunnlowery]

Zoe, I’m so thankful for Vlogust. I lost my 16 year old dog this week. I’ve had him since I was 17 and we’ve been through soooo much life together. Your videos have been SUCH a welcomed distraction. It’s felt like medicine. ❤️

[@byfilipa9549]

I also lost my 15 year old dog, this April. I believe time does not heal, but it kinda helps with the pain. Sending you love and a big hug ♥

[@biankapalvie2155]

It never gets better we lost 2 doggies that was our kids because we not having kids IT NEVER GETS BETTER just think you doggie is in heaven now and forever living on in your heart.

[@maisie9438]

Not just you! At my last nail appointment I had a panic attack in the chair. I had to leave before my nails were finished. I had to be honest with the lady and explain why I was being a bit strange! And it just boiled up, I think it was the feeling of being trapped/judgement that turned the anxiety into a panic attack. So you’re defo not on your own with appointments ❤️

[@biankapalvie2155]

BLESS YOU😂 I totally understand Maisie happens to me too.

[@joleneelizabeth6268]

Also love the long form content! Anything under 20 minutes feels too short 😂 nothing better than seeing your favourite KZbinrs have posted over 45 mins worth of content 😍

[@stephnugent8919]

I do not want Vlogust to ever end 😢 I get the same anxiety with nail and hair appointments I have to wait weeks after I need them done before I feel confident enough to go. It's nice to know I'm not alone 😊

[@moonlanie]

zoe i feel you! and it doesn’t sounds stupid at all. i’m dealing with anxiety and social anxiety/phobia a LOT everyday since forever and i feel exactly like you about appointments! it’s really hard for me to the point of not going/ not doing things sometimes. for some people it’s so simple and enjoyable but for me it’s so hard. i feel so alone because nobody in my family/friends circle is dealing with anxiety and they don’t understand me. i’m 27 and i get a lot of "but you’re not 14 anymore why are you acting like this" but i can’t help it!! so thank you zoe for talking about anxiety and mental health. you help me a lot 🤍

[@pawesomeasmr7575]

I totally feel you on the feeling trapped at appointments. I personally get anxious at get togethers, events, doctors appointment, meetings, and self care appointments. I think it comes down to feeling like if I have a very anxious moment or panic attack I’ll have to let that person know or come up with an excuse to leave. So it’s almost being anxious about being anxious. Very odd but I’m right there with you Zoe!

[@Sah0419]

The longer, the better! I love putting on a long video while I get ready in the mornings or drive to work!

[@k4t174]

i need a 24 hour long video zoe and alfie , all the long videos are the best !!!!!! love you guys so much

[@emma3mm448]

The longer the better with your videos

[@tammyreading449]

I really stuggle with self care appointments I thought it was just me so nice to hear others do xx

[@user-fn8np9tc4z]

Ottie cleaning the pool and being spontaneous is sooo Alfie trait!!! ❤️❤️ i love seeing her develop both parent’s personalities! Its soo adorable!

[@itsdaksha]

Thank you zoe and alfie for making august better ❤ I'm currently in zalfie fever and after I'm done watching vlogust I'm hopping by older videos 😂😭💕

[@abimottram9091]

I hope Ottie gets better soon 🥺❤️

[@Elle-by6dc]

Oddly enough I love having your vlogs in the background while doing homework or watching them when I’m winding down in the evening! If I don’t finish one, I always come back to it! Love love love the cozy, relaxing vibes they bring me

[@lovejoself]

As a person who also struggles with anxiety, I completely get the discomfort around appointments! It’s very real. ❤ But once I follow through, I’m always happy & grateful that I did!

[@chelseatepe5614]

Zoe, thank you for sharing your anxiety experiences! I deal a lot with the same, and often feel silly or stupid. I find hair appointments miserable. I often times go so long between appointments and then get frustrated with myself. Feels nice not being alone in this ❤

[@akalilblu]

My gosh. That's exactly how I feel about appointments. I have CPTSD and I constantly feel out of the comfort zone. I need to know everything before I can relax. The thought of a spa makes me so uncomfortable. ❤ I'm so glad I'm not alone in this. Also my go to take out is KFC and Chinese and I always order the same thing too. Hope you're feeling OK today xx

[@Dmall98592]

These daily videos make me sooo happy !!!

[@biankapalvie2155]

Yes meeeee toooo

[@jayae3377]

Feel so much empathy as a fellow anxiety sufferer, so proud of you and thank you for talking so publicly about your experiences

[@lozzieluluxx401]

the longer the better for me! i can always come back to it if i don’t have time to watch the whole thing in one sitting. 50mins-1hr have been a treat! but i don’t think you could upload anything that would be too long :) loving vlogust!! xx

[@Edithvward]

Names I love: Florence (Flo), Edie (Edie and Ottie🥺), Anneli (also would go well with Ottie). I’m LOOOVING vlogust, happiest time of my day when I’m chilling out watching the vlog ❤️ love you

[@rose_quartz_loveandlight]

love the long videos especially cosy autumn ones 🍂🎃❤

[@juliachan969]

I appreciate that you openly discuss anxiety on your channel. For me, growing up with an abusive father, it’s the opposite in that I find it safest being out surrounded by strangers because no one can hurt you physically or emotionally out in public, only behind closed doors

[@fiomateo]

I hope you feel better soon, just remember that this too shall pass. Stay strong and do anything that's the least bit comforting to you!!! You deserve it, you're amazing and so strong

[@courtneyschliesman3063]

I also struggle with anxiety when it comes to appointments or even things I should be excited for. This made me feel so validated. You are not alone!

[@alexisjamal8806]

32:00-37:00; as of recently whenever there is a sunday vlog i flat iron my hair (which is the day that i always flat iron my hair) while watching/listening to the vlog and it’s just the perfect length of time. in addition to that, even though vlogmas isn’t happening this year, i think that i could genuinely watch a 1.5-2 hour vlog because zoe always seems so genuinely excited and festive. i never see that level of excitement in my personal life so i find it interesting to see the lengths that she’ll go to make that time feel special and wonderful not only for herself but others.

[@anpayne13]

your hair looks AMAZING in the first clip especially ❤

[@CraftivatingCreations]

Thoroughly enjoying vlogust!! I completely relate to your anxiety with feeling trapped with appointments. It’s such a rubbish part of anxiety as you end up not wanting to do those nice things that you feel everyone else enjoys. Thanks so much for talking about this. It’s not stupid at all! You can’t help how you feel and I think there are a lot of people who feel the same. Makes people like us feel less alone in how we feel in these things as you often feel like the only person who feels so anxious!

[@ilse1]

I love love long form content, i get SO excited when a video is anywhere from 20 minutes to like an hour! KZbin is really the place i go to for long form

[@lindseyyip455]

Just woke up and saw that Zoe just uploaded! Perfect timing to watch while getting ready for brunch with a friend!

[@annabethhild445]

I love a longer video! I feel like I get to be a part of your world and I love that. I live alone so having the longer videos keeps me from feeling lonely.

[@rachelmclaughlin8862]

So thankful for vlogust! I got a major operation at the end of July and watching your videos every morning really has kept me going. Thank you for doing this 💕 so much love to you and all the family

[@michellekaminski9622]

I’m loving these daily vlogs!! I love a long video. Anything over 30. I love watching these videos when I’m doing something. Feel like I’m being kept company 💗💗

[@RebeccaHeart17]

Coming from someone with anxiety, especially in social situations. I get it! Not stupid at all to feel like that’s a win to go alone. Also getting my nails done also gives me such terrible anxiety! So proud of you for going ❤

[@shannonkate16]

I add all the vids I wanna watch to my watch later playlist, and then I pick and choose the lengths of videos I need for specific tasks (10mins in morning to do makeup cause any longer and I’ll be late) and then on days when im pottering doing jobs or working from home I just let them all play in order. I love KZbin for long form content and your videos are such a treat! Vlogust has given me the same seretonin Vlogmas usually does so thank you!

[@Mia-ti6ch]

your daily videos are keeping me alive. I love watching them and for me the longer the video the better. thank you so much to the both of you for doing vlogust

[@ryekat76]

I stress so much about appointments! I get so anxious about "getting a good grade" at the appointment, which is a completely normal thing to think 😂

[@gabriellebeavington4164]

❤ I LOVE how much you talk about your social anxiety and your anxiety in general. It's so related and makes me feel like I'm not the only one. The Q and A a few days ago was perfect. Reminds me of me and my man ❤

[@biankapalvie2155]

You are doing great Zoe vloging in public is already winning at life and having kids you are cured!!! Me and hubby together 18 years Maried not having kids

[@melissawyns7734]

I'm 27, always been a little bit of an "anxious person" but nothing to the point where it got in the way of my life, until suddenly in April this year I was having the worst anxiety I've ever felt 24/7 and I started having panic attacks all the time and wasn't even able to get myself to work without having panic attack. I struggled so much with thoughts of "why is this happening to me" etc but the way you have always been so open about your anxiety (I've been watching since before you moved out of home!) really helped me to open up about my own experiences to my husband and family and go and see a doctor. I've started therapy and also anti-anxiety medication which have honestly just changed my life. I never though I'd reach such a low point with my anxiety but I can't imagine how much worse off I'd be if I hadn't been exposed to people like you who encourage us to talk about it. so thank you ❤ Also, totally understand you about "self-care" appointments being a massive trigger, I'm desperately needing a haircut and its a constant battle to just pick up the phone and make the appointment! 😅

[@_anna]

At first, I wasn't really into the long videos, but with the time I FELL IN LOVE with them (especially when it's your favorite blogger). For me it feels more like a TV series. I prefer to watch it while doing things like house chores or eating. I also love when there are a lot of talking because I listen to it as a podcast while cleaning. P.s.: thank you for the Vlogust ❤

[@cokokirton]

The amount of time that’s ideal for a Zoe vlog for me is literally any amount of time in the world 😂 but for other people I’d say about 40 minutes

[@sadiemarierobinson]

I love a long video, I sit and relax watching it and it does wonders for my mental health☺️ it’s so nice and a good escape for me. Thank you❤️

[@fergdiaz7419]

Today is my birthday and to have a vlogust truly feels like a birthday gift! Thank you for always bringing the most amazing content :) you guys are incredible

[@fromzuella]

Commenting before I watch the vlog because this already made my day 🥺💓 Im so happy for vlogust thank you so much for sharing these precious moments with us x

[@fiomateo]

ZOE I LOVE YOU THANK YOU FOR GIFTING US VLOGAUST 🥰

[@SKRIBBLEproductions]

Oh anything longer than 30 mins is great. I like to try and be productive sorting or cleaning whilst I watch. Or tonight to relax before I go to bed. Hope Ottie feels better and you guys don't catch it! Loving these vlogs so much xxx

[@maddie_paige]

i have been loving vlogust so far and don’t want it to end!! i hope you and ottie get better soon, i was just sick last week so i think there is something going around. to answer your questions about preferred length of videos, i always feel like the longer the better, i think 20 minutes or more is good!! i used to love replaying your old videos while i did homework because they were nice and long and i could just have them in the background!! now i enjoy watching them at the end of the day as i am winding down in bed!! i am sad that vlogust is almost over, but i appreciate both you and alfie for all of your hard work on the videos this month!!💙

[@aroundandback]

I feel the same as you in terms of length of videos on KZbin. I love your long videos in comparison to others’ shorter videos. I usually put videos on while I’m doing other things to have some background noise. I’ve been loving your vlogs this month so far! Thank you 🥰

[@caroseidel2793]

Omg i‘ver never been this early. I usually watch your videos with a pesto-tomato-mozzarella-sandwich. I feel like i’m betraying it lol. Thank you for pushing through posting every day 🩷 I really enjoy watching and appreciate how much love and work goes into vlogust!! Love from Germany xx

[@stellarstar9340]

Yay! Just saw this uploaded & immediately clicked on it! Much love to y’all! 💗🙏🏼🌻

[@aifaajefri]

Hope you didn't catch ottie's cold. Glad when the next day clip you seems healthy and energetic ❤ I love your video longer, 40 mins and above. The longer the better 🤗🤗🤗

[@marimm2400]

i honestly dont know why but these vlogs are so therapeutic to meee😭😭🤍

[@lisarshears]

Oh my! You're the first person that I've heard say this about the appointments. I feel exactly the same. The idea of being stuck in a chair for nails or lying down to have a massage fills me with dread. I have to force myself to do it all because I love the afters! It sounds ridiculous but it's so hard. The anticipation about it is the worst. Thank you for your honesty x

[@madelinemaxwell2585]

Long form is the best! Love your super long vlogs. I’m always doing laundry or having a bath while watching so the longer the better :)

[@movemountainswithus]

Love a longer vlog 🙌🏻 around 30 minutes or more I find perfect as I’m usually cooking dinner or relaxing in the evening watching them 🥰

[@lexi6063]

I'm doing a big cross-country move at the end of august so these vlogs are like my count-down/daily de-stresser ❤

[@_elliebrown]

I love the long videos I always watch then whilst doing makeup and getting ready! 🩷

[@Lucy-lu9ps]

I go to KZbin for longer videos! I put them on in the background if I’m too busy to sit down a watch it, so you could never upload a video that is “too long”!! Loving vlogust 💛

[@circlinq]

I love pretty nails and I would love to get mine done but I struggle with that anxiety aspect as well!!

[@stephenwright3539]

Hope Ottie feels better soon Zoe xxx

[@miss1shai]

my favourite length for videos is in between 30min and like an hour and a half. ☺ Love your vlogust, can't believe I've been following you for more than 10 years. Insane ! Much love ❤

[@miapeucker8210]

My literal ideal vlog would be someone going to the shops and then baking like your old vlogmas video where you made the chocolate cake bakeoff box or when you went to the flower market with amanda and made cookies, love all of your videos and watching every single vlogust ❤️

[@karendyba5213]

Bump looks bigger this week such a cute bump Zoe take care hope you don’t get Ill xx

[@mislucia]

I have the exact same opinion on long form content as you, Zoe! I love long videos - especially from creators I love, such as you ❤ Keep up the great work

[@courtneystaples5617]

Definitely love the long form content. Loving vlogust so much 🥰

[@taylorjeanloft]

I am so thankful you shared about feeling trapped at appointments/spas etc! I have been trying to figure out what causes anxiety in those places for me and I know feeling trapped is a huge trigger. I truly appreciate you sharing, this may really help me sort through the fear! 🤍

[@elsierose9028]

I'm usually a silent watcher but i just wanted to say i love your videos I've been watching ever since i got my first iPod touch!! Your videos have helped me so much these past few days since i had surgery to cheer me up or to help me get through eating something (usually just ice cream lol) Thank you for Vlogust, i love you guys ❤

[@rebeccaackrill1777]

Went onto KZbin as you uploaded it 🥰🥰🥰 what a way to spend my Saturday evening!!

[@eviesalty]

I can’t do appointments at all!! Last year I finally booked a hair appointment for the first time in 8 years, I was real proud of myself for it as the thought of it terrifies me, I can’t seem to do any sort of ‘self care’ but now a whole year has gone and I haven’t mustered up the courage to go again, but I know I have done it once and i can do it, I just need to be brave again…

[@FunnyBirdVideos]

I do like a vlog between 30 -45 mins. Shorter than half an hour feels too edited but over an hour feels like not edited enough. But with daily vlogging, it’s perfectly understandable it has to be slightly shorter. I’ve always loved your vlogmas and thought I might miss it this year but I’m loving Vlogust and really appreciate all your effort especially being pregnant, having an active toddler and dealing with anxiety blips. Always feels like the best little surprise at the end of the day!

[@beckyosborne5599]

I'm so excited when 5 o'clock comes around!

[@aniselias595]

it's not stupid zoe :

[@Emily-ty9rz]

longer the better! I don't even have Tik Tok, I'm all for the longer content! I was feel so anxious the day you uploaded the hour long video and I genuinely felt so much better after getting cosy on the sofa and watching it so thank you :)

[@chelseaplaza2851]

I love long vlogs. They are the best, it makes the day goes by faster to me

[@megan4896]

I’m not in a position for pamper appointments like getting my nails done (student funds lol) but appointments stress me tf out. I have to leave waaaaay before I need to in fear of being late and I can’t do anything before the appointment, so if I have an appointment at 2pm, I will do nothing all day until I leave for that appointment 😂 I’m awful 😅

[@ElsaLawrence]

I’m the exact same with appointments! If I’m going to get my hair done and someone asks me if I’m excited it makes me really I feel the total opposite, I feel terrified 😂 I was the worst when I was younger, wouldn’t be able to go to any kind of appointment but I’m getting better! Proud of you 🙌🏼

[@madiziehr]

I also struggle with feeling comfortable during appointments! I always have mixed feelings of excitement and dread each time. For me I think it's the commitment of time and the social expenditure. At the end of it though I'm always so grateful I went! 🥰

[@deepthir503]

Thank you so much for sharing about your anxiety to go get your nails done because I struggle with terrible anxiety too and just end up asking my mum to accompany me everywhere 😢. I have never felt so seen in my life. Thank you so much ❤❤❤❤. Lots of love ❤❤❤❤❤.

[@brookemaher1303]

vlogust >>> love your vids 💌

[@SiljeMariaB]

long form content lover here! a long video from you is such a gift! i prefere 30 mins or more 😍

[@TheSophie289]

Girllll I’m here for the long content there’s no limit on your vids for me 🤍 xxx

[@sienavillegas8427]

I love a 25-35 minute video while I’m eating a meal or doing the dishes, that’s my ideal but yes I’ll come back to a video later if I don’t have the time to finish it. And my ideal takeout is anything noodles, usually Thai food! I have 3-4 dishes that I’ll usually cycle between but when I’m in the mood for a particular place I’ll always go for the comfort meal

[@KaitSimpsonB]

I absolutely die for your 45min and 1 hr vids x

[@TaraGriffith97]

My ideal length for every other youtuber is 10 minutes. For you, I’d truly watch HOURSSSSS. My absolute favorite comfort creator

[@barbaramagby3265]

I totally do that with appointments! Makes me feel so trapped and I didn’t realize other people felt like that till watching this!

[@hollyjoiner-mason3324]

Listening to you on my new nosie cancelling headphones sounds so much clearer

[@chelseygallier1145]

I’m exactly the same with appointments, my anxiety gets so bad I end up cancelling 💔

[@paigecourtier4293]

I love a 35-45 min video. For me that is the perfect length! Honestly though, that only really applies to your videos! Other creators I like to keep it under 20 minutes. You’re my favorite xx!!

[@victoriah9308]

I'm loving this! The longer the better

[@user-ss5oc1yf2p]

I love the long videos so much Zoe . You make my day from United States lots of love to you and your lovely growing family 🥰🥰🥰

[@elizabeththompson2319]

I absolutely have an absolute anxiety nightmare around appointments and even other fun plans when it's running high in me, you're not alone in that! PS Your hair looks pretty in a side part!

[@Valentina-Tinalina]

I definetly think like you about watching the youtube videos of the people I love, the longer the better. I you made 2-3 hour long videos I'd watch them! Haha I always make the time to sit and watch the ones of people I particularly love, they're the perfect company for my knitting.

[@kiravalentinedevine921]

I have appointment anxiety as well 😬 I would love to get vegetarian sushi delivered to my door. I am LOVING your longer vids. That hour chat was amazing. I listened to you guys chat while I was house cleaning or even drinking my coffee in the morning 😊

[@zoestephens8199]

My top takeaway order is Chinese or Thai food. It always hits the spot! I'm loving Vlogust!! It's my daily routine now before bed.
