THAT PINK BLAZER AND SLIP DRESS ARE YOU KIDDIG?!?!?! I love! Also just want to say thank you, because you have me on an absolute reading frenzy right now!
Early!! I just started the video but I would really love to see a video mainly around your book journal it looks so cute and organzied and I would love to get some inspo!
I wish you knew how many times the verses that start your videos alone are a beautiful, encouraging and hope-filled glimmer. Into your videos too you are just a radiant light inside and out! Truly stunning human being!!!!
I definitely agree with everyone on the first Barbie fit! Also for Georgia bday the blue dress is definitely a win for me but the green top and the white pants are probably one of my favorite outfits EVERR so I would love to see that eventually it’s SO good
Really enjoyed this vlog! I'm the same as you, I need to organise as much as possible to not feel overwhelmed. I love your first Barbie outfit option! Have a great time at all those events and congrats on the brand opportunities.
25:53 yes, I was in high school when that book series came out. It was one of my favorite books. I was about 15/16 !! I loved them! Didnt even know they changed or had different covers for the other locations! Its actually pretty accurate today now
I actually love the pink dress with the pink jacket. But maybe it's just picking up better on camera. The first option is cute too, but the dress is so Barbie.
27:18 I will recommend from my own experience to finish it. I wasn’t the biggest fan of uglies, but pretties and specials is definitely really good. I would continue the story. Definitely gets more intriguing.
Uglies is one of my all time favourite series!! I’ve read it 4 times and i’m in love! There’s also a spin-off series in the same world called imposters!
I recognise myself so much in the part where you tell that you stress about outfits and get anxious and can't sleep. I have the exact same thing and it just feels so stupid.
25:36 I read this a few years ago. As someone who was constantly comparing themselves to other people in high school schools I hated the premise of this book. I did not continue with the rest of the series.
How did you learn to do calligraphy/lettering? do you recommend any resources for beginners to learn or any specific tools to use to get started (eg. the pens/paper you need etc)?
What did you use to transfer the cricut cut-out version of the name card to the paper without having to pick up each letter individually?? I need to get me some of those!
That sucks about your Cricut..I was advised by Cricut support, that it’s best for Cricut machine to remain stationary, as moving it around can cause issues.
okay, i havent read uglies/the uglies series, but ive heard so many great things about it and all my friends LOVED it so, if it were above a 3 stars, I would read the 2nd book
Loved this vlog!! I read Uglies in high school & the first book was definitely the best out of the three (or 4 if you count the extras book). Pretties (book 2) was ok but specials I struggled to get through. Im also the same age as you & have felt the exact same way about other books you have recommended with loving them or thinking they are a bit average. I agree that the concept was great & execution was a bit average.
Uglies is one of my favorite series ever!!! You should definitely pick up the next book and see if you like it more. I think that the next books are more fast paced than the first because there is a lot of secrets that come to light about their world and it seems like a lot more is happening compared to the first book. Like most series, the first book is more getting to know the characters and the world, but the next books are easier to jump into because you already know everything. Overall I love the series and it is super interesting, 4.5 stars!
I read the Uglies series in middle school and was obsessed at the time, but I honestly can’t remember anything about it now. It wasn’t a memorable or noteworthy series in my opinion lol
I read Uglies and then Pretties but didnt continue the series after that. They just took me so long to get through. I did however pick up the series after this one by scott Westerfield called impostors and loved it.
Hii Rachel. I think I was the person who recommended this to you. I didn't like the ending of Uglies so therefore I didn't like the other two books, however its worth giving them a shot as usually the first book in a trilogy is mainly worldbuilding. I found Pretties weird as it undid all the character development of Tally, and then I found Specials kinda confusing. So up to you as to whether you carry on with the series or DNF it.
I think because Uglies came out so long ago it's really reflective of the YA books that were released and became popular in that time. It may be you're not super into it because society has changed from 2005 and there are plenty of books that don't hit the same. When I read the series I was a young teen so I enjoyed them. But I think I was not mature enough to get the nuance and read between the lines or truly understand the message. Scott Westerfeld is an incredible author but thinking back to his books I consumed in my teen years I don't think I'd pick them up again as an adult purely because my reading style has aged past his writing style. There's too many books out there to enjoy and just not enough time!
I read the Uglies series when I was in middle or high school and, even though I read the whole series, I still remember how boring the series was. If I'd rated books back then, I probably would have given it ... 3 stars? The only one I would give a higher score is, I think, Extras? Or maybe it was Specials. I can't recall, but there's one with this guy named Zane, I think? I loved him.

EVERYONE needs pink bedazzled shoes, and I vote for the first outfit for the Barbie event over the slinky dress with the jacket.
I agree! Although I still like the dress the top and skirt is so cute!!
everyone does need pink bedazzled shoes 😌 I think I'm also leaning towards the first!!
You’re so sweet and wholesome Rach!!! Also, obsessed with both pairs of pink shoes 😍💕😍💕😍💕
@@gabbybertucci5380 I love the dress, but I don’t think I like it with the jacket. I like wash piece, but not the combo.
The painted name tags came out so lovely! 💕
Rach, your content is always SO wholesome 🌷🤍 you are sunshine in human form!!
I actually honestly really love the contrast of the dress and jacket.
love the 1st Barbie event outift!!
I think I'm leaning towards that one!!
THAT PINK BLAZER AND SLIP DRESS ARE YOU KIDDIG?!?!?! I love! Also just want to say thank you, because you have me on an absolute reading frenzy right now!

I always try to pick a verse that I connect with at that point in time, so it’s so sweet to know that it connects to other people too 🥹🩷
Watching your outfit planning was so relaxing!
I definitely agree with everyone on the first Barbie fit! Also for Georgia bday the blue dress is definitely a win for me but the green top and the white pants are probably one of my favorite outfits EVERR so I would love to see that eventually it’s SO good
Finally, something that isn’t just books!
the skirt with the beige tank is GORGEOUS😍😍

watching you makes me belive you were meant to do this job❤
27:18 I will recommend from my own experience to finish it. I wasn’t the biggest fan of uglies, but pretties and specials is definitely really good. I would continue the story. Definitely gets more intriguing.
I agree! And then there’s another book in the same universe: Extras
Loved them, and I do think they get better as the series continues
I like your pants!
Your hosting cupboard would look so nice in a glass-door cupboard so it's on display!!!
I hope one day I can have more of a display cabinet type of thing!! That's the dream!!
@@RachelCatherine yes that would be soo nice!! you have such an aesthetic eye for these sorts of things!
Uglies is one of my all time favourite series!! I’ve read it 4 times and i’m in love! There’s also a spin-off series in the same world called imposters!

oh my gosh all the book girlies uploading in the one day ??!?! day is absolutely made !!
How fun love the Cricut
I think I like the first option for the Barbie event the best 😊 And I wish I would be more organized sometimes 😅
I just started reading Brandon sanderson too! loving it
Hey gf, loving the morning uploads 💕
I love this bible verse!
I love my craft drawers too!!
25:36 I read this a few years ago. As someone who was constantly comparing themselves to other people in high school schools I hated the premise of this book. I did not continue with the rest of the series.
Omg gal, where are those beige cargos from??? They’re so cute!!
I would probably be at Kmart three times a week as well IF my 'local' wasn't a 40 minute drive away! 😂
Your so pretty! Love your vlogs! Keep slaying ❤
How did you learn to do calligraphy/lettering? do you recommend any resources for beginners to learn or any specific tools to use to get started (eg. the pens/paper you need etc)?
I think I just watched a bunch of TH-cam videos and practiced lots!!
@@RachelCatherine That's awesome! thanks so much! :)
@@JB-vd8bi thanks so much!
I think the hand drawn ones turned out better than the cricuted ones.
What did you use to transfer the cricut cut-out version of the name card to the paper without having to pick up each letter individually?? I need to get me some of those!
That sucks about your Cricut..I was advised by Cricut support, that it’s best for Cricut machine to remain stationary, as moving it around can cause issues.
Barbie theme!!!
👀
option 2 for the barbie event outfit...thats my opinion
okay, i havent read uglies/the uglies series, but ive heard so many great things about it and all my friends LOVED it so, if it were above a 3 stars, I would read the 2nd book

oh that's so sad!! It has such a great premise!!
@@RachelCatherine Yea I know😕 I was gutted as well!

eeep okay maybe I'll try it! I'm so unsure hahaha
The first outfit is barbie 😍😍 do that one
Great vlog!!

I read Uglies and then Pretties but didnt continue the series after that. They just took me so long to get through. I did however pick up the series after this one by scott Westerfield called impostors and loved it.
I wish we still had a KMart here. It’s an American company (I think) and they’re closing them down all over the US
If clothing is your only anxiety in life, you're doing well. 😂
Hii Rachel. I think I was the person who recommended this to you.

I found Pretties weird as it undid all the character development of Tally, and then I found Specials kinda confusing. So up to you as to whether you carry on with the series or DNF it.
You make me want to style my outfits more and wear normal clothes. All I wear is activewear. 😂
I think because Uglies came out so long ago it's really reflective of the YA books that were released and became popular in that time.

Not me being baffled about your K Mart runs. Pretty sure most/ all are shut down in the US.
Hi girl
Cricut boggles my mind.

💖
