My sister made me a music video to never grow up by taylor swift but all the videos were home videos of me from when I was a baby to when I turned twenty. To this day the best present I've ever received. It was so thoughtful and she did such a good job on it. Still makes me cry.
It’s so amazing to hear how much you love your life with your friends and the comfort you find in ur home. I’ve only ever wished that for myself and now this has given me hope.
14:20 I honestly think I have the perfect book for your slump. To me, when I'm in a slump, I usually gravitate towards fanfics because they don't take much effort to get into the characters and their building and it's always focussed on the story. It's also fast paced enough in the sense that you won't be taking ages trying to figure them out in you head because they are already based on established characters. Sorry for ranting so much, but the rec was actually in the ppt one of your followers made for you, it's "Manacled". Oh how i would love to see you reading it in a vlog and telling us your opinion about it. But anyway, hope that helps ♥
Do you take time every day and journal? That’s what always helps me. You journal anything you want. Gets your thoughts out of your head. It’s always always interesting to go back and read your thoughts from months or even years prior. Ha, just heard you mention your journal lol😂
I am late but i absolutely love your kindness and your energy. You talking about your mental health makes me feel so much less alone and that i can get out of it if you can. So happy to see you sooo happy and that you have a home you don’t want to to run from. Love you❤
Omg i literally was just thinking man it would be awesome if i watch a Steph vlog on TV and chill and decided to watch something from 2022 and you uploaded 😭 your vlogs give me life
A book that helped me get out of a slump was “Cassandra in reverse” it’s not groundbreaking literature but it’s fast paced and so easy to read and then I was on my way again after that 😊!
struggling with reading slumps is so relatable but a book that got me out of a slump like a few months ago was aristotle and dante discover the secrets of the universe. its pretty fast paced and theres always something going on and it really made me want to keep reading. im not sure if you like these types of books but its been one of my top 5 star reads ever since i read it! i def recommend
i’m also trying to get out of a book slump😭 one of the things that helps me is finding a nonfiction book to read (maybe something similar to everything i know about love? like all about love by bel hooks?) i feel like it’s hard to really ground yourself in fiction (ESPECIALLY FANTASY) when you’re anxious vs nonfiction is intentionally grounding since it’s based in reality. idk. hope u get out of ur slump soon
I watched cozy K TH-cam video on burnout and applied that to my burnout and book slump. She recommended leaning into nostalgic books, shows, movies, etc. for instance books you enjoyed as a kid or younger that you enjoyed or you can watch a nostalgic show which I did. I also applied that and read Percy Jackson for the first time cause it’s a kids book but is still really fun and a quick read. I hope that helps cause it’s really helped me.
For fantasy I’d say heartless hunter (witch vs witch hunter)To kill a kingdom, what the river knows. Easy-ish reads but still good plots. Serpent and dove is good too. For romance there’s night shift, blind side, say you swear. Easy reads but enjoyable.
Please steph please post weekend vlogs or daily vlogs i love love love to seee ur vlogs😭😭😭ur the only person tht make me feel comfortable and happy i am 100% honest rn😭🥹💗
I´ve been through a reading slump a few times too and its the absolute worst. Tbh I recommend you to start a completely different book until you find one that gets you back into reading. The series of books that hooked me back was the seven sisters by Lucinda Riley. I hope this helps!🥰🥰
for slumps i always try something new!! you need something that you’re very excited about so that it won’t feel like you’re WAITING from he excitement to hit (the waiting when we are anxious is the killer imo)
Steph remember when you posted a quote from your notebook a few time ago: "I don’t want to live a life that I need to take breaks from." Now you’re telling us that you didn’t had a vacation for so long!! I mean you literally living what you wrote down as a wish and I am so happy for you. This is so inspiring for me too!🥹
Oooo Please do a visiting The Notebook filming sites day vlog 😄 I've been to Boone Plantation..its gorgeous. Magnolia Gardens is supposed to be beautiful. That would be a fun girls day..
I was in a reading slump as well until I started watching your channel.Like,I think I read 2-3 books a year.And you inspired me to read enthusiastically again,so thank you for your amazing content.You reminded me why I loved reading so much when I was younger.Sending you so much love xoxo
Aw love! you could have done the first page as top pictures of all of you or each of your faves then the indivudal pages after. Love it, though. I'm always getting physical pictures and scrapbooks although takes me a while to finish! So sentimental ❤
i also have anxiety mind too steph, I take anti anxiety meds for it but its not for everyone, but I also feel its okay to take a break from reading instead of forcing yourself to read
One of my favorite gifts I’ve ever given was when my friend got married and she and her husband like to read so I got them a “from the library of” with their names and new shared last name!
I have also been is such a bad reading slump for the past month now or so and it’s so annoying and frustrating but a boon that helped me out of my last reading slumps a few months ago was the book Rustic hearts by Amber Kelly. It’s a small town romance and i think you’ll love it. Like I personally don’t even like small town romance but I loved this so much!
OMG YES I LOVEEEEEE FREIDA MCFADDEN all of her books are so good i’ve never once fully anticipated the plot twist her “best” is definitely the housemaid tho, would recommend that one to get into her books
i think if the book u are currently reading makes u not wanna read it, its better if you just pick a new read, a book that's been on ur radar for quite sometimes and are excited to pick up ♡😇📖 love ur vlogs as always 🌸
maybe read an old favorite, usually works for me. when I got in a slump I would read the whole acotar series again since it was a comfort read! maybe try a comfort book that you have read so many times ❤
Steph, I think you‘d love „The Catch“ by Amy Lea. It is what brought me out of my reading slump. It is a small town romance with found family, fake dating, forced proximaty and grumpy and sunshine tropes.
hi steph! i just wanted to say that you inspired me so much for starting a new channel in english because english isn’t my native language, but i just wanted to film my videos in English 😅 thank you so much! you are my comfort person ❤ i love your videos sm!
I gifted a scrapbook to my friend of all our pictures and memories cause we're finally out of school and we're not going to see other that much now, so i made it as a kind of memoribilia and she called me crying after opening it 😭😭 but no-one has gifted me something like that 😭😭😭😭
Girl, you have to read THE NATURALS series, I was in a reading slump to and my friend recommended that series, and it SO good and so well written!!! It’s mystery and thriller!!
in 2015 (i was in middle school), i always dreamt about singing just give me a reason in a karaoke bar with my boyfriend when i go to university. seeing that clip broke my heart
My book slumps are literally the same. When I'm anxious can't read at all. Read the Once upon a broken heart series, trust me. Recently read the second book and got me out of a slump ( the first book is also really good btw)
The reading slump? Totally feel that. Whenever I get into one, I re-read a comfort read. So, if I’m looking for PNR, I read JR Ward’s DARK LOVER. Small town meets bully romance? GUILTY MINDS by Ariana Cane. Sports Romance? BLINDSIDE by Kandi Steiner. Some spicy New Adult? FAKE IT ‘TIL YOU BREAK IT by Meagan Brandy. 😊
the way it went from having steph grinning, having fun and singing to the next clip being her with a straight face and the alarm going off is so funny
The way you talk about your friends is literally how we all yearn to be thought of. I’m obsessed. I love this brand of womanhood 💕
I dont know you personally (i wish) but i feel so much pride seeing you living your best life with people who appreciate you♡
EVERYONE WAKE UP STEPH POSTED
having a friend group like that will forever be my roman empire
i would absolutely cry if i ever got an appreciation book ohmygod that’s adorable
steph we need a cruise vloggggggg

Im currently fasting for Ramadan and watching ur old videos rly help me get thru the days x
ramadan mubarak!
My sister made me a music video to never grow up by taylor swift but all the videos were home videos of me from when I was a baby to when I turned twenty. To this day the best present I've ever received. It was so thoughtful and she did such a good job on it. Still makes me cry.
Omg this is so thoughtful! The song alone makes me cry every time without fail 🥺
14:34 What I like to do when I‘m anxious is to re-read a book that feels safe and that I know I love 💕
this is such a good tip!
The appreciation book you made for your friends birthday is super sweet and meaningful, manifesting these kinds of relationships in my own life
steph is such a radiant energy
It’s so amazing to hear how much you love your life with your friends and the comfort you find in ur home. I’ve only ever wished that for myself and now this has given me hope.
1:12 Beauty runs in the family
7:03 “oh I need to put the strap on-WOAH” 😭😭
My dream gift would be 100% be a annotated book with a Spotify playlist they made for the book ❤
It's like you understand when a soul is at its loneliest and you post to make their day. I'm one of the souls.
Was that corny? Yes
But is it true? YES
14:20 I honestly think I have the perfect book for your slump.

Her videos make me feel so warm and fuzzy inside. Its like a big hug :). Love you so much steph.
The perfect video at the perfect time your videos always brings me so much joy 🎀🩷

Never Lie is very good. Also Ward D too. 🥰

I think you'd like the Divine Rivals duology by Rebecca Ross and the One Italian Summer by Rebecca Serle.
I love your videos, would love to see more self care, skincare/ make up and vlog style videos
Obviously also love the book content 💗
When I get a notification that Steph post I'm watching it right away! I love your videos 😍
Literally every time Steph posts it makes my day
The thing that helps me with book slumps is re reading books that you love.. like your God tier books that you won’t except criticism for.
Girl will you film your Florida vacation❤❤❤❤
You NEED to read Boys of Tommen!! It's literally so good and fast paced! It got me right out of my slump and I'm so in love with the characters.
Would you ever consoder daily vlogs? Your volgmas videos were the highlight of my December.

I love this so much! Also the guy that sang tear drops of Jupiter was so good!
The guy singing Taylor makes me so happy 🤪
If you are in a slump try rereading a book that you absolutely adore. Hopefully it reignites why you like reading
I need a journaling playlist ASAP! :) ily
5:19 I was so surprised to see you sharing a drink with someone Steph!!!
It’s like a year book I love scrapbooks 🥹
i also have anxiety mind too steph, I take anti anxiety meds for it but its not for everyone, but I also feel its okay to take a break from reading instead of forcing yourself to read
One of my favorite gifts I’ve ever given was when my friend got married and she and her husband like to read so I got them a “from the library of” with their names and new shared last name!
getting my hair done and the foils have to stay in my hair for 30 minutes so perfect timing!!!!

OMG YES I LOVEEEEEE FREIDA MCFADDEN all of her books are so good i’ve never once fully anticipated the plot twist
her “best” is definitely the housemaid tho, would recommend that one to get into her books
I need more friends like yours!!! It looks so fun
the way u stopped dead in ur tracks when u got the phone notification was SO FUNNY
i think if the book u are currently reading makes u not wanna read it, its better if you just pick a new read, a book that's been on ur radar for quite sometimes and are excited to pick up ♡😇📖 love ur vlogs as always 🌸
idk if you have read "The Hating Game" by Sally Thorne, but that book is so funny and got me out of a reading slump!
7:19 yesss we stan a swiftie!!
Your videos are like a sweet surprise. ❤❤
Steph you do not understand how badly i want to be friends with you, you’re my comfort youtuber 🤍
maybe read an old favorite, usually works for me. when I got in a slump I would read the whole acotar series again since it was a comfort read! maybe try a comfort book that you have read so many times ❤
YES to the housemaid!!! The second one was just as good! And Ward D by Freida McFadden was awesome too. Shes definitely my favourite thriller author.
I also really recommend the long walk by Stephen King, it's really good!
Steph, I think you‘d love „The Catch“ by Amy Lea. It is what brought me out of my reading slump. It is a small town romance with found family, fake dating, forced proximaty and grumpy and sunshine tropes.
hi steph! i just wanted to say that you inspired me so much for starting a new channel in english because english isn’t my native language, but i just wanted to film my videos in English 😅 thank you so much! you are my comfort person ❤ i love your videos sm!
I gifted a scrapbook to my friend of all our pictures and memories cause we're finally out of school and we're not going to see other that much now, so i made it as a kind of memoribilia and she called me crying after opening it 😭😭 but no-one has gifted me something like that 😭😭😭😭
Love and Other Words by Christina Lauren got me out of a book slump!
Girl, you have to read THE NATURALS series, I was in a reading slump to and my friend recommended that series, and it SO good and so well written!!! It’s mystery and thriller!!
in 2015 (i was in middle school), i always dreamt about singing just give me a reason in a karaoke bar with my boyfriend when i go to university. seeing that clip broke my heart
I just finished reading The Secret Book of Flora Lee and I loved it!! It was my first five star of this year!
My book slumps are literally the same. When I'm anxious can't read at all. Read the Once upon a broken heart series, trust me. Recently read the second book and got me out of a slump ( the first book is also really good btw)
I would recommend obsidian by Jennifer l. Armentrout! It’s such a good time ❤
I'm literally stuck in the same book, and I really liked The Serpent and the Wings of Night
steph is everyone's comfort 😭💗
so happy i caught your upload early!!🩵
the naturals series by Jennifer Lynn Barnes is my go to recommendation for a reading slump! they got me out of one last July!
The strap comment was hilarious 😂😂😂
The reading slump? Totally feel that. Whenever I get into one, I re-read a comfort read. So, if I’m looking for PNR, I read JR Ward’s DARK LOVER. Small town meets bully romance? GUILTY MINDS by Ariana Cane. Sports Romance? BLINDSIDE by Kandi Steiner. Some spicy New Adult? FAKE IT ‘TIL YOU BREAK IT by Meagan Brandy. 😊
i missed you queen!!!! was in dire need of a steph vlog ! they just make my life so much better hehe
