Hi everyone! Happy holidays! ✨🥂 For this festive season, I wanted to make a video about books that remind us of the good things in life and help bring hope and optimism back into our hearts. Wishing you the happiest holiday time, for you and for your loved ones 💛
Hey everyone 💛 Today, I’m sharing my super early morning routine—or maybe it’s more of a reset-morning routine. Since moving into this house, I’ve really struggled to get back into a routine. Some days are better than others, but I’m reminding myself to be kind to myself, listen to my body, and ease back into things. While my routine has improved since filming this, here’s a look at how it was at the time.
I'm back! I've been waiting to film again and to reconnect with you, I feel like it's been ages. I'm excited to share with you that after almost three years of searching, we finally found our dream home, and I can't wait to show it to you! I'd love to hear what you think in the comments and also if you have any design tips or recommendations! 🫶🏻
Hey everyone 💛 In today’s video, I’m sharing some personal reflections ahead of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. Even though I’m not religious anymore, I still find so much value in the tradition of forgiveness during this time of year—both seeking it and offering it. You already know that maintaining relationships is hard for me, so today I'm opening up about my challenges and exploring new ways to communicate better, especially when I feel overwhelmed and want to disappear.
Hello hello 💛 In today’s vlog, I’m sharing some of the strategies that help me manage my ADHD symptoms, stay productive, reduce stress, and keep my energy up. What’s your go-to method for staying productive and stress-free? I’d love to hear your tips! Thanks so much for watching, and I hope you have an amazing and productive day! 💛
Hey everybody, happy Wednesday! 🤗 I'm so glad to be back and want to thank you for your patience and the lovely check-in DMs. I've missed being here and discussing books with you, and so I'm excited to talk about What I Was Doing While You Were Breeding by Kristin Newman—a book recommended by one of my best friends here in Dublin. At first glance, when I admittedly judged it by the cover, I thought it promised humor and a fresh perspective, but unfortunately, it left me feeling a bit let down 🤔 Have you read this book? What do you think of the title? Let’s discuss in the comments! Sending you lots of love 🫶🏻🌻
So... today, I decided to open up about my own struggles with feeling like an imposter—something I think many creators face—and how it affects my journey. There are so many moments of self-doubt, and it often feels like a constant battle to push past the negative thoughts and keep creating. But here's what I've learned: trusting the process is key. When these feelings arise, I remind myself that it's a natural part of growth. In fact, I've come to realize that being in this space can actually be a good thing. It means you're pushing your boundaries and challenging yourself, and every time you come out on the other side, you're more confident and resilient. If you find this relatable, know that it only shows how humble and self-aware you are. Every step of your journey, even the challenging ones, is a lesson that helps you grow. So, have the courage to keep going, even when you're scared, because you're capable of amazing things. 🫶🏻🌻
Today, I'm switching things up with a more laid-back reading vlog. I’m reading the buzzworthy If We Were Villains, a Dark Academia novel that’s been making waves online, and sharing my thoughts on The Four Winds, Surrounded by Idiots, and The Silent Patient. Let me know how you like this more casual video style, and if you've read If We Were Villains or have it on your TBR list! 📚✨ Thanks for watching, and don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more bookish content 💛🌻
Heloooo 💛🌻 I hope you're doing well! In today's video, I'll be sharing my personal system for annotating books using the SCRIBE method. This approach helps me engage deeply with the text, retain important information, and make my reading experience more interactive and enjoyable. Whether you're a student, a book lover, or just looking for a new way to enhance your reading habits, this video is for you. Let me know what you think of the SCRIBE system and if you have any tips or tricks to share🤞🏻🤞🏻Happy reading and annotating! 🤩
One of my favorite things to do is travel to the locations where my favorite stories are set and explore the places that inspired their authors. It took me a while to get this video out, but it's one I couldn't leave off my channel because this trip was truly extraordinary for me, and I want to keep this memory forever. If you haven't been to Italy yet, you're in for a treat! It's such a beautiful country!
I hope you enjoy watching this video as much as I enjoyed making it. Ciao!
💛🇮🇹🥂
In this video, I'm looking into the gender roles and power structures in J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. I'm going to talk about how characters like Hermione Granger and Professor McGonagall are portrayed, and whether the book truly subverts or reinforces traditional gender stereotypes. This analysis stems from a paper I wrote during my master's program, and I'm excited to share the outcome with you all. Plus, a special appearance from my cat Oliver, who loves to check in on the action! 🐱 Let me know what you think.
Happy reading!

To be a YouTuber or not to be? That is definitely a question. It's a question I pondered for a long time before I just went with it. It's been a wild ride, so I decided to reflect on it and share with you the different sides (and a few tips) that becoming a YouTuber entails. I hope you enjoy it!
Helllooo everybody, I hope you're doing very well💛 In high school, before any exam, I'd get so nervous and forget everything I'd learned. This memory technique has changed the game for me! This video is a bit different, and I invite you to interact with the experiments so you can see the mind-blowing effect of this method yourself, and learn how to implement it to remember everything you want. Don't forget to share your progress in the comments. Thank you for being here 🌻 Eden
Hey everybody💛 Here's a very random chat about relationships. I started reading Seneca's Letters from a Stoic, and when I read Letter 3- On True and False Friendship, I felt this urge to share my thoughts. I hope you'll find it interesting. Sending lots of love your way, and see you on my next video🦋
I've been waiting to film this video for so long! I truly adore this brilliant book. I related to it on many levels and had so much fun researching and learning about its background and context. I hope you will find it interesting and informative too!
This time I'm talking about "Babel: Or the Necessity of Violence: An Arcane History of the Oxford Translators' Revolution," By R. F. Kuang. Have you read it? Let me know what you think!
As you can see in the video, I was disappointed by this book... 😕 Another point that I forgot to mention in the video and found disappointing: Kuang went to great lengths to explain the origin of many words throughout the book (which is incredible!), but she didn't delve into the origin of the word 'Babel,' which is so central to the story and part of her title. I'm sure it would have been fascinating for all to learn that 'Babel' originates from the Hebrew 'בָּבֶל' (Bavel), referring to the ancient city of Babylon, and derives from the Hebrew verb 'balal,' meaning 'to confuse' or 'to mix' (Genesis 11:1-9).
All in all, I'm still happy I read it. As I mentioned in the video, I learned a lot from it, and the beginning was absolutely brilliant.
I would love to read your thoughts about this book or others.
