I am always eagerly waiting for your beautiful vlogs. You have a fan here in Canada. Your vlogs give me peace to know that I am not alone in my schizophrenia. I wish you knew how much of a positive influence you have on me. I love seeing you cook and make teas and love your passion for books. I hope you never stop vlogging.
oh wow thank you so much! that means a lot to me! 😍 to know that my videos are helping in some way or another warms my heart and keeps me motivated to continue. again thank you for this lovely comment! ❤💚
You have perfect Englishmlt is a pleasure listening to your blogs.Sheila leahy
Thank you Sheila! 🥰
Your hair looks beautiful Kimberly 😊I love your vlogs. I have schizoaffective disorder and love to read also. Sometimes because of cognitive issues I have to read the passages over and over but, like my therapist says all that matters is I’m enjoying the book ❤
Thank you! 🤩 and it’s the same here too sometimes, having to read the same sentence or passages a few times to be able to process what is said! ♥️
1. Your English is superb! 2. What matcha tea do you use? What are the ingredients for a matchs latte? Do you sweeten it? I've never made one 3. Good for you getting rid of books you don't really like.
thank you! 🥰 The brand of matcha don't really matter but it has to be ceremonial grade matcha for the best flavour, I don't like any other matcha actually 😂 for ingredients I have some soy milk with vanilla flavour with it also but you could use regular milk and just some vanilla syrup I believe! 😊 Have a niece day Jean! 💚
Hi kimberly! I dont know if you have heard about the book called The Book of Form and Emptiness by Ruth Ozeki. It is my most recent read and it's about a boy who is diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder after his dad's death. It won the 2022 Women Prize for Fiction. I highly recommend it to you :) greetings and thanks for your beautiful videos, I love them all.
thank you! that sounds like a very interesting book, will definitely look it up! 😍
You look beautiful Kimberly 💜 what a cosy vlog... I wish I could read but because of my SZA I can't concentrate. It's a treat for me to hear you talk about the books 😁 what a beautiful productive full day.. Your amazing! Much love
Oh thank you aria! 😍♥️
If you want something light & entertaining to read, try "About a Boy" by Nick Hornby. It has been made into a movie with Hugh Grant & Nicholas Hoult. The movie is pretty good too, IMO!
I have paranoid schizophrenia and I am recovering from psychosis. You seem to be doing very well. I enjoy your vlogs. I also like to read and miss that the most since I have had trouble concentrating. You have inspired me to read. It's so nice to hear from someone who has the same mental illness that I have. ❤😊
Oh thank you for the kind comment! It always makes me happy to hear that I have inspired someone living with schizophrenia. thank you! 💚
Missing your vlogs! I just hung my white paper light up star in the window. It reminds me of you. You shared last Christmas that being dark in Sweden during the winter, many hang white stars that have lights in their windows to lifts their spirits.
I am lifting you up in prayer. You mean so much to us all,all around the world.❤
thank you for your sweet comment! Im planning on making a video soon explaining why I've been gone ❤ and yes the paper light stars are almost everywhere here now but I haven't put mine up yet... have a nice day ❤

Thank you ! Same to you ! Will continue praying for you and your family. 🙏 ❤️
@@cynthiahurlburt2819 Thank you! ♥️
Your hair looks nice and healthy Kimberly. I like seeing Edward’s tail in your videos. 🙂
Thank you! 🤩
Your English is excellent and I love your accent. It's funny how we can all be so hard on ourselves. I'm just watching you and wishing I could speak a second language. Your editing skills are excellent. I can really appreciate how long it takes to edit and all the effort you put into editing a video. I started my channel five months ago to make audiobooks and read them myself. I still have one chapter to read on my first book. I am a perfectionist too. I end up reading parts over and over again..... yet I am still unsatisfied with many parts I have read aloud. I also have so many books that I own that I want to read just for me. I can't make up my mind either on which one. Sorry I keep going on and on. I just really understand where you're coming from.
thank you! 🥹What book are you reading for the video now? 😍 Sometimes it feel like having to many choices can instead turn into not reading anything at all I find... 💚
I am reading a book called Somewhere In Time. They made it into a movie as well. It is a romance and time travel book. The author usually writes horror so it's not your average romance book. It gets a little tedious. His style is kind of like Stephen King where there is too much detail. I still like it but recording myself reading it is a lot more difficult and time consuming than I thought it would be. 😆
oh nice! I can imagine the time that must come with doing an entire audiobook by yourself! 😍@@HearMyWords
Your vlogs really inspires me and the soup looks delicious 😍 Ithink your english is better than mine to be honest 😊And Edward love seeing him his always so cute
thank you! 🥰
Thank you for continuing your vlogs! Your English is perfect
thank you! 🥹
Read One door away from heaven! :D Wait with the Russians until you get older.
haha but the Russians sounds so good! especially notes from the underground... ❤
Nice haircut
thank you! 🥰
oh haha😄 we are staying in English 😍💕 maybe you can do a Swedish vlog once a month or something 💕 if you want :)
your hair looks amazing! so thick and healthy!
i have a tip for you, well it has worked for ME, in terms of dishes. i felt overwhelmed by doing mine. so i now only have ONE cup for coffee. 2 glasses, 2 plates, and ONE knives etc..... so that you only have few things to wash. because i never really have guests anyway. only one friend or my mom. otherwise i go out. so i don't need 5-10 of each things :) maybe that would help you too. idk :) 💕
Haha yes and thank you! ☺️ ohh that’s really smart! Might need to try and see if it works for me too! 🤩♥️
Have you trıed keto dıet Kımberly? Its effectıve for mental health problems.
I have! I did lose weight with it but I just can keep with it long term. :)
BTW, your English is perfect! Much better than my Swedish!
thank you! 😊
I’m happy you realized your English speaking skills are great! Maybe you could speak Swedish for thoughts that are difficult to express in English. I love hearing other languages, and I think a lot of people who are interested in books and mental health do too.
Thank you! 🤩
Another lovely relaxing vlog☺️ I have bipolar and it’s hard to read a book since I have a hard time concentrating. But reading is so good for you!
thank you! 🥰 and yes, it took me years just to be able to get to the point of reading I am at now! but it is fun! 😍
@@Kimberly_Viktoria Do you have any tips on how to get to reading??☺️
@@GreenAndTheToe start small! I find that starting a shorter book can feel less daunting and can make it easier to get back into the routine of reading! And also try to minimize distractions like your phone etc.. 💚
@@Kimberly_Viktoria thank you for the advice, Kimberly🥰 Phone is definitely my worst distraction!
no worries! and same here, its very easy to pick up your phone instead! 😊@@GreenAndTheToe
I had mocha once and it was nice, never tried it before but it was nice, bought it from a café
Nice! 😊
💟 the cauliflower soup looks good.
oh it was delicious! 🥰
I read currently 'Women who run with the wolves ' I recommend this myths and archetype style about psychology and instincts.
How are your cats doing today?
Have a inspiring day
Take care
Monika
ohh! that books is on my reading list! 😍 My cats are doing fine, they have been playing all morning 😂 Have a nice day too Monika! ❤
Yes! 🙌🏽
You should definitely get a dishwasher, it will banish the drudgery of washing up by hand forever! If your kitchen is small, you can get a 45cm wide one (as opposed to a standard 60cm one). If that's still too big, you can get tabletop models. A dishwasher is also great for temporarily storing your dirty kitchenware out of sight, until it's full, then you can start the cycle.
thank you for the advice! I still haven't checked with my landlord... I keep forgetting it 😂
@@Kimberly_Viktoria If you have a cupboard you don't use much, you can convert it into an area for your dishwasher. Best to choose one near the sink if possible, so it's close to the water supply & waste outlet. It will also need a power socket nearby, obviously..
Totally know what you mean about how sometimes YA falls short...Most YA does for me, actually since when I want something easier to read it still has to be at least A LITTLE intellectually stimulating. I have enjoyed YA that involves young people having mental health struggles but I have to be in the mood for it.
Also relate to the struggle of planning to read a book, picking it up and realizing that I'm not in the mood...and then struggling to find something I am in the mood for haha. I feel like the "easy but not too easy" is kind of a niche thing but Taylor Jenkins Reid is one author that usually fits the bill for me in this area.
Yes exactly! You want something easy to read but not braindead easy 😂 I’m also a big mood reader ♥️
@@Kimberly_Viktoria I'm literally dealing with the same thing rn haha I have picked up several books and then put them down after a couple chapters since I am either not in the mood or get worried they will end up being too triggering :S
Currently going to start "The Invisible Life of Addie Larue" right now so hopefully I get into it! Sending bookish vibes from Texas :)
I have heard of it on book tube! and quite good reviews as well! have a nice day! 💚 @@liberavitluna8530
What about a biography
I do have some biographies but they're not really easy reads 😊
You r not horrible 😢
thank you! 🥹
Wow, I used to read a lot of Stephen King! But I began to get a bit nervous with all the constant horror!
I'm a big horror fan but I have become much more sensitive to which kind of horror I like as I have gotten older. 😊
@@Kimberly_Viktoria Yeah, me too! I got over-sensitised to it when I was reading too much Stephen King & Clive Barker, and at the same time, a friend of mine kept insisting we go to see horror movies at the cinema, like Final Destination & The Omen, The Hostel etc, & I finally put my foot down & said "Enough already!" Now I read Ancient Aliens stuff, mostly...
@@jamespassas9441 i nowadays mostly read junji itos work and sometimes watch horror movies but not to the same extent I used to. I’m especially more sensitive to gory movies which is ironic since the saw movies was my favourites as a teen…
@@Kimberly_Viktoria Eeeek, I couldn't watch a Saw movie!
Hej, Kimberly tack so mycke for your videos. You are so natural, even if you make your blogs in Swedish with English subtitles I wouldn't mind, feel free, I like you so so much
Monika Kumela
thank you so much Monika! 💚 🥹
Hi Kimberly, thanks for this vlog - I'm so happy you finished The Secret History! I have a book recommendation for you - I think you will really love it. Wind Up Bird Chronicles by Haruki Murakami. It's fantastic. Happy Autumn Kimberly! Take good care.
oh thank you! 😍 I do own one of his books "Norwegian wood" but I will definitely look up this one as well! thank you for the recommendation. have a nice day! ❤
I have noticed how mentally ill people desire to read and their difficulties in concentration and comprehension. I myself had little in the way of power of concentration when I first got sick and really really had to struggle to learn since I'd never done well in school and, in fact, never went to high school. I am learning some Christmas charols on the mandolin and Jewish folk songs on guitar but reading too unless I'm depressed and asleep.
yes I have also heard that many with mental health issues have a hard time reading!
oh I wish I could play an instrument, I have a keyboard but I havent taken the proper time to try and learn it... 🙃
In my opinion using dishwasher is more work because you have to clean dishes before putting them in dishwasher, it takes a long time for dishwasher to finish and then majority of dishes are still wet and you can’t put them back
Oh really? I have had a dishwasher in previous apartments and have never had those problems 🤔
ty k
I also hated doing dishes and when they asked if I would pay more rent to get a dishwasher, I said Yes! Best decision ever. It's a small dishwasher because the kitchen is really made for one person. I recommend asking if you can have it installed.
I definitely will! 😊
I have schizophrenia too 😢.
sad to hear! 💚
@@Kimberly_Viktoria yes it’s really sad and inhumane! I want to try “clozapine” since I am treatment resistant!
Which medication do you drink?
Im also treatment resistant and take caripraszine and olanzapine currently 💚@@baciliorochajr_schizophrenia
@@Kimberly_Viktoria The only symptom I have is auditory hallucinations! What are your symptoms?
Hai kimberly keep going you are doing well 🎉
thank you! 🥰
Hi Kimberly, great to see you! Before you even mentioned your hair, I said to myself Kim cut her hair and it looks awesome! Hope you enjoy whatever book you choose to read. Have a super week!
Oh Thank you Pam! 😍♥️
And you too! ♥️
Hi Kimberly! So many things to talk about! Lets see, well, your hair always looks beautiful, its so silky and shiny, and I understand about cutting it. My long hair was thin at the bottom also. Too much to bother with. Another great soup too! So when you were talking about your trouble picking out a book, I have another for you to throw on the pile! I am in the middle of "Hester", by Maggie O'Donnell. It is so enchanting, sad, extremely interesting, and so much more. Im loving it. Its got great reviews, but its so different. It takes place in the 1800's in Salem, Massachusetts, US. It's partly about the Salme witch trials in the 1600's but its a lot more and the characters are so captivating. As far as what language you want to speak in, Im fine with whatever you want to do! I understand the self-doubt! I'm glad you worked through that and you feel in a better place now. Thanks for sharing with us again! Hugs! Mary Ann in Delaware 🤗💛💜💛
Thank you Mary Ann! ♥️ oh that sounds really like my kind of book! I’m also curious about the Salem witch trials, have seen some documentaries about them so I’m definitely writing that one down on my reading list! Thank you! 🤩 and have a nice day! ♥️
@@Kimberly_Viktoria Thanks KImberly! I think you will love it! Have a great weekend! 😍
thank you and you too! 🥰@@gypsyskyy9451
That soup looks lovely!! Now I regret selling my Braun hand-blender, otherwise I could have made some cauliflower soup as well! 😭 Maybe I could get a second-hand one off eBay...
It was delicious! 🤤 this hand blender is actually broken so my family gave me a new one for my birthday! Love to make different kinds of soups! 🥹💚
@@Kimberly_Viktoria Fantastic, what make is your new one? I saw some great second-hand Moulinex ones on eBay where you could detach the motor from the blender part for cleaning..
its a bosch hand mixer! don't know the specifics though! 😊@@jamespassas9441
@@Kimberly_Viktoria I'm a bit of a Moulimex fan, and I especially like the ones I saw on eBay, because the blender part unscrews from the motor, so it should be easier to clean. But I have to be a little careful with money at the moment, as I'm out of work. I also have a Moulinex food processor & grinder for coffee, spices, breadcrumbs etc... Bosch is also very good, of course, all my kitchen white appliances are Bosch!
@@jamespassas9441 I get you! maybe you can use the food processor to blend the soup in batches? 😊
Books that i bought
1. Thoughts on a nervous planet by Matt Haig
2. The Radleys by same author
