I am so thankful for your vlogs… every week the world gets weirder and things seem to get worse, and the cozy vibes here really feed my soul. Reminds me to read, to take time for myself, and turn off the news. I need those reminders. Thanks for being a source of calm and quiet joy, fern. ❤
Sweet Cadence. It’s hard getting old. Reminds me of taking care of my grandma who also had dementia and could not be alone. I’m glad that Cadence has such lovely surroundings and company in her golden years. It’s important I think for all aging members of the family to be loved. That Olive keychain is absolutely precious. How wonderful. Thanks for another lovely vlog. I look forward to them every week. 💚
I am so thankful for your two channels! I just love them! My husband just had triple bypass surgery and as you can imagine the stress level in our lives, is it a pretty pretty high level. And watching your videos helps me to calm down and decompress. So again I am so appreciative to you for your content and just being you!💚🪴📚👩🌾🐕💚
Thank you so much for the chill, relaxing vibe with both your channels. I really needed them this week with all that’s happening here in the States right now. 😔
Been watching Fern’s videos since covid and I’ve never commented before. But I love your channel and watching your vlogs has become such a comfortable, predictable routine in my life! Also, every time I see your videos and watch your thoughtful interpretations of the books you are reading I keep thinking to myself: this lady should write her own book!
Just a gentle reminder about libraries! (some of my favorite places on this earth) I'm not sure if you have easy access to one but I primarily utilize the library (I do live in nyc, so the nypl basically has everything, very grateful) both to save money and to keep my bookshelves less cluttered. Then, if I hate a book I haven't wasted the money and if I love a book I get to scour used bookstores over time to try and find all of my favorites. My home library has only books I've loved enough that I know in the future I'd want to reread them, otherwise I don't see it worth it for them to take up space in my space.
It's not fair that you guys don't have snow in January!!! Lol Quebec looks like a whole different country at the moment. I really enjoyed the vlog. And congratulation on not buying any books on the shopping day. I know how hard that must have felt! Lol
I love the forest walks. I feel so drawn to forestland like yours but I'm in Kansas/US // in the middle of no where, girl! Lol thank you so much for sharing. ❤
I follow both your channel's. ❤ You have the best energy about you and it comes through in every video. My 6yr old granddaughter who I've had since birth just love's you too. One of our TV's is ALWAYS playing one of your videos. Sending love and light your way.😘😘😘
Hi Fern! I have to thank you for the Magic Garlicky Tofu recipe from your last vlog. OMG, it is incredible!! I see why it's your favorite. It will definitely be in our rotation now! 😋
I feel like Rebecca takes a minute to get into- but I LOVE it!! My dog’s name is Jasper and his collar says “Last night I dreamt I went to manderly again…” one of my faves!!
I’m listening to The Quiet Tenant right now and I’m 41 chapters in and all I can say is Emily…. EMILY!!!! I’ll say I’m enjoying it, but I’m also still trying to find my vibe with books and audiobooks. I like a lot of the symbolism in the book and I’m able to pick up on it easily, but I find myself able to predict the book. Definitely going to finish it though
thank you so much for putting the book cover in the corner while your talking about it!! somtimes when your talking about a horror book i cant handle it soo i love being able to know when your done talking about it so i can keep watching! however notes on a execution sounds so so so good but im a little nervous to try and read it
Ahhhh you didn’t like the quiet tenant?!?! I loved it lol guess that’s another one we don’t agree on 🤣 Loved Notes on an Execution though so we agree on that one!! Thanks as always 💜
Yes hahaha, it's so funny how sometimes our taste aligns so well and then sometimes it's very different 😂💚 it seems like I'm in the minority with the quiet tenant though, lots of favourable reviews out there for that one!
You know, it’s super funny but we are on an almost exact make up mode lately. I’m with you all the way even with the cream/powder blush layering love! I only don’t do the freckles, but yeah, it’s all about the simple and minimal skin with some color and eyebrows, without even mascara 😻 I sometimes will wear lipstick, especially if I go out, or if I feel unusually pale, but that’s it! Is it like a trend or something? As far as I knew I was the only one doing this 😆
Thriller author possibility! Have you checked out any Karin Slaughter, im thinking about picking up The Good Daughter & Pretty Girls Then by Kate Alice Marshall, The Narrow & What Lies in the Woods!!
Good afternoon Fern. I’m watching this with a football 🏈 game on in the back ground. Enjoying the sunshine out the window. But is cold outside. Only in the low forties. Down below freezing this morning when I woke up. Frost on everything. Was 27 degrees. Brrr 🥶
My little Fibi passed away two years ago at the age of 17. She also suffered from progressive dementia, so I know how hard and heartbreaking it is to go through this. 🐶At the same time, you cherish and appreciate every moment you still have together.🥹💚
@@cozyplantlady11 I don't know when you stopped it based on the end of your vlog but I feel the need to mention that the "Princess" thing is explained. I understand not pushing through the cringe but the way the story came together was worth it for me. Totally get how it is different for all. 💜
The Storyteller by Jodi Picoult sounds like it gives you the same feeling as Notes on an Execution. You see the story from multiple points of view and how each character ended up where they are. You sympathize with multiple characters you don’t expect to. Devastating book but very good
Ugh I have been WAITING for this!! Also, halfway through (audio) Witchcraft for Wayward Girls. At this moment, not my favorite Grady Hendrix (Final Girl Support Group takes that title) but I know the second half could change the rankings!
I totally avoid emotional books - too much to handle. The emotions stay for days after. I see it as a courageous thing to read and be invested in such heavy topics. How long does it take for you to recover afterwards?
Don’t give up on Grady Hendrix!!! I live in the south (and very near to where he is from) and I promise you as far fetched as some of the themes may have felt in that book- unfortunately for where we live, and how things were 40 years ago, it’s truly not that off mark. There is a lot of tradition that remains here, stuff that probably seems so odd and ancient to people from much further north. Just saying. As someone from the area being written about, it’s funny to see how to someone else perhaps it felt overly exaggerated or performative in some way but I had none of those thoughts while reading it because I’m familiar with the truth behind the tropes and stereotypes and so on. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on his new book!! Love u, Fern!!!
I woke up at about 2:45 and thought the alarm had gone off. I turned the tv on looking for my morning news. I find a rerun of the morning program I watched at 7:00 am yesterday. Then after about 20 minutes I looked at my watch and it was 3:30 in the morning. So I went back to sleep until my alarm went off at 6:30.
The Quiet Tenant - was okay but I do need to make a PSA! A Hospital Corpsman is not a Marine! Marines do not have Medics, the Navy Hospital Corpsman are their medics. I almost DNF’d the book for that error! I was hoping she was going to bring it up later as proof the MMC was lying but no….
Helllllo 😊 how often do you brush Olives teeth? Just wondering, I try to get my chi’s teeth brushed weekly but it’s hard to commit, LOL.. and she really is not a fan. 🐾❤️🐕🪥

This is EXACTLY how I feel watching these. I started reading more and researching gardening stuff for the summer.

PSALM FOR THE WILD BUILT! One of my favorite books from 2024! Such an easy read and really really impactful 🌱🌱🌱
I have heard such amazing things about it!! I have it on my kobo wishlist, so i'll definitely grab it one day 🥹
Thank you so much for the chill, relaxing vibe with both your channels. I really needed them this week with all that’s happening here in the States right now. 😔
Sending big hugs 🥺🫂
Omg the olive crochet 💚💚
right 😭😭😭

Just a gentle reminder about libraries!

nvm you mentioned the library at the end... 😂 sorry for my unsolicited book philosophy
I love your long vlogs….bless you
I look forward to watching your vlogs and I love your fur babies they are so special ❤
I love that you guys bike side by side! 🩵 Everytime you upload i vlog, i walk on my little walking pad and watch. Its perfect 👌🏼
Yes hehe it's so cute our lil bike set up. And that's an awesome idea! I need to use my walking pad more 😅
I love watching you watching Olivia, then watching Olivia watch you! haha ladies boosting ladies, yesssss! ❤
I love her so muchhh
I’m reading so many books because of you! Thanks for all your inspiration! And your walks in the woods look so magical and breathtaking ❤
It's not fair that you guys don't have snow in January!!! Lol Quebec looks like a whole different country at the moment. I really enjoyed the vlog. And congratulation on not buying any books on the shopping day. I know how hard that must have felt! Lol
Wow! It looks like spring up your way, mostly when you were walkings in the woods with all that sunshine wow! Thank Fern have a beautiful week🪴😊
thank you for posting this right at the perfect time 😁💚
No problem 😊 Thanks for watching!
I read Rebecca when I was in high school & I couldn’t put it down! I might have to reread!! 🌱
I love the forest walks. I feel so drawn to forestland like yours but I'm in Kansas/US // in the middle of no where, girl! Lol thank you so much for sharing. ❤
I have read Rebecca many times. I just love. Might be time to read it again 😊
Love love love those botanical board games...I'd like to see more of your collection of games in the future ❤
thought I would check! LOL "37 seconds ago" going to watch later though
lol! enjoy when you watch
@@cozyplantlady11 "What?! Are the twists in the room with us?" hahahha favourite part

28:20 Cadence is adorable!
..Then seconds later little sweetie Olive baby🥰
Your videos are so relaxing to watch or put on and do chores ❤.
Do you have a link for the bike trainer you use?
I loved your Victoria day trip! Grew up in Nanaimo doing lil road trips to Vic so this was so cozy to me!!
Awe, love that so much! We always have the best time doing those lil road trips
It looks like a great day for a walk. Sunshine. ☀️
Very cool, to see the "Victoria-part" Something new... I enjoyed it. Thank you for this cool vlog. 😊😊
Ohhh I have been waiting.. just finished doing my nails so always glad to watch a video while they’re drying 💖
Enjoy! 😊💅
I feel like Rebecca takes a minute to get into- but I LOVE it!! My dog’s name is Jasper and his collar says “Last night I dreamt I went to manderly again…” one of my faves!!
Omg no way I looove that! And yeah it’s been a slow start but I am enjoying it 👀
When you were talking about you skin tones and you said “maybe I’m just neutral”, tell me WHY I said OUT LOUD “I think you’re neutral” lmao
I got that Planted game at Christmas fun!
It's so cute and fun haha!
You look like a beautiful angel Fern you are incredible I hope you're having an incredible Saturday😇💯💯💯💯💯💖
Noted on an execution infiltrated my dreams! The writing is incredible and im only 50% of the way through. Loved the vlog as always ❤️
Omg yes it was incredibleeee

Sooo excited to watch on this stormy, cozy evening! Perfect to get some chores done & chill ❤❤
Hope it helps you get those chores done and make the most of your cozy night in! ✨

I'm in love with your nature! Please, show it more often!🙏🙏🙏

Excited to watch this while I wind yarn 🥰
Perfect, enjoy 😊🧶
Betty!!!! My favorite read of 2024 by far.
@@DanielleChilensky eeeep!!!
Your dogs are sooo cute! :D
Thank you :)

Yes Ma'am 🙌🏽
Hi hello, happy Sunday Fern 🫰🏽💚🪴☕
Happy Sunday to you too! 💖
Cute Olive keychain
Fern I just laugh so much, you are so funny and so sweet. And Cadence is so precious❤️also Olive❤️
Good afternoon Fern. I’m watching this with a football 🏈 game on in the back ground. Enjoying the sunshine out the window. But is cold outside. Only in the low forties. Down below freezing this morning when I woke up. Frost on everything. Was 27 degrees. Brrr 🥶
Cold here too but it's worth it for the sunshine haha! :)
What channel were you watching while biking?! I loved one of the books she was reading The Favorite Girl🤓
Shawnaci Schroeder! I love her channel so much :) Super chill vibes!
How do you keep the books straight in your head?
My hubby picked up the new Grady Hendricks and it was a signed copy!
My little Fibi passed away two years ago at the age of 17. She also suffered from progressive dementia, so I know how hard and heartbreaking it is to go through this. 🐶At the same time, you cherish and appreciate every moment you still have together.🥹💚
Awe I am so sorry for your loss ❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹
The Lost Story was a 5⭐ for me. It was a book that sucked me in and I forgot where I was, which is my favorite.
Awe that's the best feeling, so glad you enjoyed it!
@@cozyplantlady11 I don't know when you stopped it based on the end of your vlog but I feel the need to mention that the "Princess" thing is explained. I understand not pushing through the cringe but the way the story came together was worth it for me. Totally get how it is different for all. 💜

There is a vegan smores cookie recipe from minimalist baker that is super easy and SO good. Highly recommend even for inexperienced bakers 🧑🍳
no way!! I'll have to take a crack at it 😄
I could NEVER go without eye make up. I leave it on and only take it off when I wash my hair. I wash my hair twice a week.
1:07:10 Your tea or something is ready. Maybe a cake, Idk 😜
Ugh I have been WAITING for this!!
Also, halfway through (audio) Witchcraft for Wayward Girls. At this moment, not my favorite Grady Hendrix (Final Girl Support Group takes that title) but I know the second half could change the rankings!
Ahhh I am so curious to read it 👀
where did you get the leaving reality sticker and kobo case.. theyre so nice!
The case is from the kobo website and the sticker is from a local bookshop but I’ve also seen it on Etsy :)
@ thank you so much ❤️
I just started Witchcraft For Wayward Girls and so far I'm liking it.
That's awesome to hear! :)
Authors have an off day and that shows up in their books 📚
I just got The Reformatory on kindle for $1.99. Hopefully I can get to it soon. I’ve been on an audiobook kick lately.
Did you see that Grady Hendrix has a new book out and the main character is named Fern!
Yes haha!
I totally avoid emotional books - too much to handle. The emotions stay for days after. I see it as a courageous thing to read and be invested in such heavy topics. How long does it take for you to recover afterwards?
Don’t give up on Grady Hendrix!!!

Thanks for sharing your perspective! I ended up ordering his new one, so I'll def update when I read it :)
That tower looks like it’s a bug to clean.
Are those windows southern exposure or western?
Southern
@@cozyplantlady11 perfect
LOL i know the author from "Forrest shuffle" he is living in Greifswald (Germany). In German the board game is called "Mischwald". FUNNY. 😂🎉
I decorate with dog hair. Lol 😂
No way would I read the reformatory. I read the description and no way I could handle it
I have the same reaction.. hits too close for me..
Yeah it definitely sounds heavy, but important!
The author 😊f Rebecca has some others books that are awesome
Mary Stewart is another classic gothic writer
I woke up at about 2:45 and thought the alarm had gone off. I turned the tv on looking for my morning news. I find a rerun of the morning program I watched at 7:00 am yesterday. Then after about 20 minutes I looked at my watch and it was 3:30 in the morning. So I went back to sleep until my alarm went off at 6:30.
Sending ❤️
That book sounds very scary 🫣
It is even scarier than I was expecting lol!
What’s her main channel? I just found this channel few days ago.
www.youtube.com/@wildfern :)
☀️
Cadence may be older but she’s still a supermodel like Isabella Rosalinni or Paulina Porizkova! She is so beautiful.
Your nails are looking fine.
🥰

How can we join the discord book club?
It's a perk of my Patreon, but if I ever start a public one I will let you know! 🫶
$15.50 for a used book is crazy!
The Quiet Tenant - was okay but I do need to make a PSA! A Hospital Corpsman is not a Marine! Marines do not have Medics, the Navy Hospital Corpsman are their medics. I almost DNF’d the book for that error! I was hoping she was going to bring it up later as proof the MMC was lying but no….
Ugh yeah errors like that are annoying in books 😩 especially when you're waiting for it to become relevant lol!
You wear sterling silver. I think you’re a cool person.
I think your freckles are funny.
I love fantasy but like you I'm kind of burned out so I'm gonna read more fiction maybe it would help you if you tried a new genre for awhile🤷♀️
Yeah that definitely is a good idea! It's always a nice break for me to read something lighter.
It sounds like you’ll need three new beds if you need to to fill in the empty spaces and one to replace the wooden bed.
Better living through my “mask”
Sounds like you’ll be doing some research.
Definitely!!
Former MUA, you are cool undertoned
Yay thank you :) 🩶
