Zoe, i genuinly care. I have noticed that you have grown a thick skin and that completely fine. Honestly while watching a video the thought " why is she sharing this?" Never occured to me. I enjoy everything you share. I never write comments but i dont see anyone commenting anythibg on this so i decided to write one.
Ello! Jumping in to say I’ve been here since you were 19, and I was 19 too! In fact my birthday is the day before yours. Started off watching you at uni, single, no idea what I was doing in life. Now I’m 30, married and expecting our first baby! Mad how time flies but always enjoyed watching your vids and growing up along with you! 😊
I think you hit the nail on the head when you say social media used to be an escape from the real world and now we escape from social media to be in the real world..
I haven't watched zoe in ages mainly because I've been busy with school and life but I saw this video pop up as I was doing my makeup today so I decided to click on it - and watching this video with her and alfie honestly gives me so much nostalgia and serotonin because I remember watching them when I was in middle school/high school and now I'm a sophomore in college. I just love their vibe and it makes me so happy
tw // emetophobia i never knew you had this phobia and as someone who has it it’s made me smile knowing that someone like you struggles with it, i’m only 17 but getting pregnant terrifies me because of morning sickness! i also feel like their are times were i should’ve been sick but haven’t ! thank you for talking about it, as i said it’s nice knowing other people have the fear
Hey Zoe😊 I’m definitely one of them who is here since nearly the beginning. When I started to watch your videos I was 12 years old and basically couldn’t understand much of what you were saying because I’m from Germany. Now I’m 23 and have the english level of a native english speaker. And I think that is manly because of you and some other TH-camrs. So thank you very much. I really appreciate your videos and the fact that you share your life with us. Love Maikki xx
I always feel like social media used to much more wholesome. There was much less pressure to post perfect content. I miss the days when people would upload a picture of their Starbucks with a god awful sepia filter :(
Hi Zoe I loved this video it was so calming to listen to you talk after such a stressful day today, I made a cuppa, got all cozy, snuggled with the dog and thought I’d put this on. I find you so inspirational and you probably hear this all the time but you’re so amazing. You are genuinely the type of person I look up to and I know it sounds cringe but you are. You’re relatable, funny and stand for what you think is right. So just thought I’d let you know that you mean a lot to millions of young girls/boys xx
Zoe I am the same way with my anxiety, me being sick is the number one thing that makes me feel anxious. I always feel so anxious whenever my body feels off and sometimes it even causes panic attacks. This makes me feel better knowing that I am not alone with that part of my mental health! Keep being you, I have watched your videos coming on nine years now (which is crazy to think)!! I hope you have an amazing rest of 2020
It's so good to hear someone talking about emetephobia. This is also the stem of so many anxieties for me, including OCD. It genuinly stops me wanitng to get pregnant too, so it's good to hear you talking so openly about this. Thank you!
I had hypnotherapy for my emetaphobia because I was worried about morning sickness. I was really anxious when I found out I was expecting but didn't have any physical sickness just felt it! The hypnotherapy was really worthwhile.
Wow hearing about your anxieties around throwing up were so interesting as my experience has been the total opposite. I started going to therapy at 10 because after my parent's divorce I couldn't fall asleep at my dad's house without throwing up, and I also had a lot of anxiety as a varsity track athlete and would often throw up before races. It's just fascinating to see how differently people's anxieties manifest.
Honestly I’ve been watching you since I was 12 and I’m now 23- way back when you had backcombed hair and wore the t shirts with crosses on, I can remember you posted a video and joe popped up in the background (way before he was on TH-cam himself) and you replied to my comment on that video and I had a major fan girl! I think that’s why you vlogs still being such comfort to my life because they’ve been a part of it so long 😭 Thanks for sticking around Zoella 💗
Those raw real talks are relatable. No matter how successful or how distant you may be.. once you start chatting it feels genuine. So I appreciate you taking the time to share this video with us.
a zoe video is my FAVOURITE notification to receive. please NEVER feel like you’re wasting our time. you have helped so many with their mental health and being honest about it, myself included. so many of us want to know how you truly are. it’s crazy how you can care so much about a person through a screen but here we are, 11 years later!! pls continue sharing everything and anything you want with us. hope you have the best halloween miss halloween kweeeen 🎃✨
I honestly think you handled the questions about kids so well. It’s a question that gets thrown around a lot, but can be so hurtful for some... it’s understandable that people are curious and it is probably asked with a lot of love... but you never know what people are going through, if they are infertile or having trouble getting pregnant. But I really feel like you gave the perfect answer, nonjudgmental and informative. Thank you for that! 💗💕
To be honest I love talking/chatting videos. I am into listening people's opinions. The reason why is that I find it more engaging and interesting to be honest. Don't think that your point of views are boring and uninteresting, I'm here sitting and enjoy listening you very carefully ❤️ I really enjoy this kind of vlogs so you better upload more vlogs like this 🤗 love you ❤️
No time wasted and really appreciate your honesty. I’m almost old enough to be your Mom, but have been watching your videos for years. Your ability to make us feel included in your world in a cozy way makes watching your videos really comforting. I really appreciate you continuing on, thanks for sharing!
Been following since the beginning (when you were 19 and I was 16-17) and I must say you completely hit the nail on the head with describing old TH-cam as cozy. I continue to come back to your channel every video to feel that cozy and safe vibe and you truly continue to provide that feeling for me - especially your videos with Mark! I love how open you’ve been with us over the years but I also really love how you have been able to set boundaries. Growing up watching you, we have all grown up together and I am so proud of who you have become and almost remained to be your true self!! I am genuinely just happy for you Zoe and we all want to see you happy. I will continue to support and follow along as long as you want us to! You have changed and helped so many lives and it’s weird to say but I almost feel like coming to your channel is like meeting up with a lifelong friend.
Do you miss the “Brit Crew” days? It felt like you lot were inseparable and as you’ve grown up you’ve all moved on. Do you miss the closeness of them days? My favourite vlogmas was 2013 when you all went to dubai, personally i miss them days
I've been watching since the very beginning - definitely feel the difference between like 2010 and now, not all bad but feels less innocent and friendly than it used to be though esp. with all the drama accounts and commentary videos. So glad your still making videos though because they still feel so cozy like a hug from an old friend
I feel like in the "cozy days" spending time on social media wasn't "mainstream" if that makes sense 😅 like most people didn't spend a big chunk of their time watching youtube. I remember not having many friends at all who also like "watched youtubers" where as now it feels so strange when you meet someone who doesnt have social media or watch youtube and they're completely the odd one out. I totally understand what you mean by back in the day youtube was an escape whereas now people want to escape from social media. Back in the day if you didnt have a buzzing social life, you spent your time on youtube... whereas now people think of their social life as strongly linked to social media (deciding where to visit based on the instagram pictures, or spending their time putting effort into getting more followers). Its a completely different youtube-life dynamic now for both the youtubers and subscribers.... craaaaaazy 😅
Really enjoyed the honest open and YES we care! I struggle with depression, anxiety, and addiction. It’s important folks talk about the down as much as the up, because it’s reality and we need people to relate to.
this is honestly my favourite kinds of video: sit down chats about life--your ups and downs, and your vulnerabilities. because it feels like an intimate chat with my best friend (which is kind of who you've become for me over the years).
oh my gosh, I think I’ve been here for 11 years! What a journey! Couldn’t agree more about the cozy days of social media, that is exactly what it felt like! But on the other hand, it’s amazing to see how you all grew and we’ve grown together! I love the journey! ❤️
I'm so glad that you have brought up about pregnancy and the fear of being sick. I'm 27 years old now and me and my husband are starting to talk about having a baby, I cannot stand being sick, I can help others who are sick but the thought actually scares me I generally no how you feel Zoe!
Idk how old Zoe was when she made her “How to do a perfect top knot” video, but that was the first video of hers I ever saw. She was also the first TH-camr I ever subbed to! Wild!
I also have verrrrry similar emetophobia. you're not alone with being able to control your body when you should probably be sick. If you make progress with this, please share. It's so nice to hear someone else working through the same fear.
Here for 11 years and it gave me a whole new perspective on all the small things that can make you happy! Can't tell you how many times I have been inspired by your cozy sleepovers, holiday preparations or even by a simple cuppa of hot choc! And it transferred to my life and brought lots of joy! Thank you so much!!
I’ve been watching your videos for YEARS and I didn’t know that your anxiety stemmed from a fear of being sick. Mine is the EXACT same and I had no idea we had that in common!
I used to watch you’re videos ALL the time but kind of lost contact for the last couple of month. I used to love you’re videos for you’re honesty and rawness. It always felt like watching a best friend. When I read the Titel of the video I felt soooo thrown back to that time and just had to watch it. I understand that sometimes it can be very hard to be so open and vulnerable online. Especially with how many followers you’ve gained over the years. Very happy you feel confident enough to be so open again. Missed you!!! xxx
Hi Zoe, I really struggle with emetophobia. I get anxiety and panic attacks due to the fear of being sick. I don’t mind anyone else’s sick etc. Just my own for some reason. I have begun to understand why I feel sick and how to prevent that and know I am much better however, I have found that how other people deal with it is super important. It’s so nice relating to someone! Xx
I'm 30 and have been here since the beginning of your channel, I completely get what you mean about the net being cosy back in the day! The main reason I gravitated to your channel is because you were like me and my friends. Keep doing you boo!
Zoe, don't worry about sharing things you feel unsure about, what ever you post i will always sit and watch and find intresting. You're vlogs are amazing and they make so many people smile :) 💕
We are the same age so I’ve been here since the beginning!! I agree, TH-cam was so sweet and innocent back then. I still look forward to your videos because they still have that cozy feeling ! 💞
I've been here since you were 21 and I don't see myself going anywhere anytime soon, love you when you're vulnerable like this and love you when all you want to share is you baking! whatever makes YOU happy to share is all I want to see!
Just want to give you some reassurance. I had my little girl 7 months ago and never had any morning sickness throughout my entire pregnancy. So there is hope!
I’ve not thrown up since I was in third grade and I’m almost 19 now. I’ve stopped myself from getting sick so many times and I don’t know how. I’m exactly the same when people around me are sick I won’t want to be around them at all. It feels so good to know I’m not the only one 🥺♥️
This was a really sweet and genuine video. It was so nice to hear your "raw" opinions about your life and changes you've been through. Felt like we were having a laid-back chat :)
When you were talking about how social media used to be so cosy and like an escape...I was thinking how much I think like this in regards to your channel. I’ve been here since I was about 9 or 10 and now I’m about to graduate HS, and watching your videos has shaped me as a person and definitely for the better. Even just the small things like getting me addicted to Harry Potter or cheering me up during Christmas when I watch old Vlogmas series has given me so much happiness. Just thought I’d throw some gratitude out here 🤍
This is so insane. I only just started to figure out my fear of being sick. I have found out I have been going through this for over ten years now. Everything you just talked about is what I go through every single day. My therapist told me that this is the reason I have anxiety and I feel as though everything has just fallen into place once hearing this. Thank you for speaking about it. I now feel as though I am not alone...
The thing that she said about TH-cam being a safe space, an escape from the world and now we are escaping from social media to real world .. That just hit home. The reason why I started watching her in the first place was because I felt like I belonged. And now everything around TH-cam just seems so toxic.
I’ve been ‘here’ since 2012! I still remember the first video I watched of yours. At your Dads home. In your bedroom and you showed us how you styled your long hair. I had just had a baby and I was struggling with postpartum really bad. I hated the way I looked, hated my limp thick some what wavy hair. Etc but my hubby and I had our first date night and I wanted to ‘try’ something new. You showed us how to do a plat headband thing. Lol I tried it and it turned out. I felt so hood about myself that night. After that I binged your videos and I’ve been here ever since! ❤️
I have never related to someone more in my life. Someone that has the same exact anxiety as me, that is from being afraid of getting sick. I thought I was the only person that thought this way and got anxious about that. Thank you for sharing! Love you!
i used to be SO scared to be “sick” but it happend a while ago and it actually wasn’t that bad. It was an issue due to my medication and i felt so nauseous and the only thing that helped was to be sick so i did it and i felt so calm after so now it dosent really bother me anymore.
Put some warm chamomile tea bags on your eye for a few minutes a few times a day!! This helps with the infection and the pain in you eye! It's also good when you have pinkeye!
You should dip a cotton pad or cotton wool in freshly boiled hot water from the kettle in a small bowl with like half a teaspoon of salt dissolved in it. Then gently swipe the cotton pad over your stye therefore cleaning the area. It gets rid of the stye so quickly sometimes over night. Works every time for me
I’ve been here from ur start and grew up with u. I’m about to be 29. I love how u have grown and changed as I have too. I feel like ur my bff thru TH-cam.
I can already tell Zoe's going to literally make my day (or night) with this vlog, I was waiting for it to come up! can't wait to watch it after dinner. thank you Zoe for keeping uploading content even I this difficult time where we're all a bit confused and worried about our future. you are a light and the one who keeps me wanting to be optimistic and to have hopes
honestly i love how this felt more ‘zoe’, please zoe never feel like you have to say/ do a certain thing, do what your heart wants and being your sweet bubbly self ♡
Its so strange, because my Anxiety makes me throw up. I get so nervous i throw up. If i had that fear aswell I couldn’t imagine how awful that would be
I definitely think I’ve been here since the beginning! It doesn’t feel like 11 years since I was watching your boot sale hauls and trips to primark with your mum. You definitely were a real tonic to my loneliness when I was younger, and now at 27 I feel like I’m catching up with an old friend. Thank you xx
I’ve definitely been here since you were 19, I was 14 at the time and you felt like a cool older sister being a role model for me! TH-cam has changed an insane amount but watching your videos, and some of the other people I watched back in 2009 makes me feel so comforted and nostalgic, we have all grown up together
I love the way you two look at eachother sometimes. Just so beautiful to see two individuals mature independently and together through the youtubeyears.
I’ve been here all along!! Since the first few years of your account. Social media has for sure had a negative impact on my self esteem over the years and even more in the last 6 months but your channel has 100% always been my safe place. Whenever my anxiety has previously gotten out of hand, I always find myself watching your videos and they instantly keep me calm and grounded. Please don’t feel like we don’t care because your presence online has helped me and many others SO much. Thank you. Xx
I started watching you when I was in middle school and now I am doing a masters degree, it’s so crazy how time flies and how much we’ve both grown up. I’m proud of us. You helped me through so much and I thank you so much for that. I’m glad you’re doing great!
Oh my god I am exactly the same with the emetophobia! thank you so much for talking about it because I hear not many people that do - it makes me feel less alone so thank you! x
i haven't been around for 11 years but I've been for 6, almost 7 now. i'm a couple of years younger tahn you so you have always felt like a big sister to me. i really like having you in my life through your videos
Pregnancy vomiting is not the same as when you're sick (at least for me) I'm really good at not vomiting and don't like it either but this you really can't avoid but it's so light and quick and then it's over. I cried the first time because as I said I'm usually great at not vomiting and I didn't want to but it was so not a big deal and then it only happened a few more times like maybe 5 in total and was like an expert and unbothered by it by then. So I hope this helps anyone who worries about pregnancy vomiting that not all first trimesters are hell some people don't even have nausea at all! X
I’ve had the same phobia for years, and I always felt weird for having it. I’m awful with it and this video has made me feel slightly better. I think of the same things. You are wonderful and I’m so happy I have gotten to grow with you over the years, Zoe.
I am 31 years old and genuinely watched you from the beginning 😂 TH-cam is my guilty pleasure when I’m doing in the makeup in the morning while my little girl destroys my makeup bag 😂 you’ve been the most real and my absolute favourite from day dot . Keep being you ❤️❤️❤️
I always was here for the cozy days, but it all has changed now. I used to love to stay home to just watch video's on TH-cam where people filmed their live, but I didn't live my own life. So since TH-cam has changed since years ago I started to live my own live more. So yes I still miss that time and just chillin' with my TH-cam friends, but I love to live my own live aswell.
Zoe, I am exactly the same! I used to have hour long panic attacks every day because of the fear of being sick. I used to not eat for days on end in case I eat bad food and get sick, and haven't been sick in more than 10 years now. I am so much better than I used to be but I still have fairly regular panic attacks about it even now
I’ve been watching since the very beginning! In my late twenties now, it’s been so strange to see the progression of TH-cam and your channel. I agree, it did feel cozy back then.
So appreciate you speaking about mental health. My 13 year old has emetophobia and severe anxiety and it helps so much to see people speak out about their struggles. Yes! We do care. Please know that. Have been watching you for many years and love you and the energy you share ♥️
You are one of my cozy space on the internet. There was 1 time I have to ride a bus for 2 hrs w/c I havent done for yrs and I was having a travel sickness, plus it was night time and I was alone so I feel like throwing up.. but your voice on one of your chit chat videos comforted me so much.. I put on my headset and just listen to you for 2 hrs straight (w/o watching bc it also makes me sick watching videos while on car ride but yoyr voice and knowing that I love your videos was so comforting, it wasnt music but your voice truly).. that was the time I truly appreciated the comfort you give. Love you.
I love it when I see that Zoe has posted a 50 min vlog. I’m glad you’re well Zoe and happy for you guys for getting the office. These vids give me such cozy feels and really get me in the autumn vibe. Thank you for being so lovely and sweet for so many years. And I hope you don’t feel pressure to post videos when you’re not up to it. I don’t think anyone here would like it if you were only posting cause you feel you have to. We understand that live is difficult and busy sometimes. And TH-cam might not be your top priority anymore. That’s okay Zoe, you have your life to live too and I’m so happy for you and your success. You are blessed. 🥰♥️
I feel like I’ve seen many TH-camrs I’ve followed for the past ten years or so trim down things in videos and content. The past few years as we (I’m 28) have grown to our late twenties/early thirties I feel like it’s easier to see life happening around you that you want to keep just for you. I’ve never had a huge following on any social media platform, but I’ve noticed myself just taking disposable camera pics more than phone ones, or posting a photo once a week, not telling everyone every single life-update that occurred etc etc. It’s lovely to see you do a sit down video!! But don’t worry if you don’t do it regularly. Life shifts our boundaries, comfort levels and mindsets.
The baby talk part 17:40
Zoe, i genuinly care. I have noticed that you have grown a thick skin and that completely fine. Honestly while watching a video the thought " why is she sharing this?" Never occured to me. I enjoy everything you share. I never write comments but i dont see anyone commenting anythibg on this so i decided to write one.
I miss the good old "cozy days" too. Totally relate to everything you were saying.
Ello! Jumping in to say I’ve been here since you were 19, and I was 19 too! In fact my birthday is the day before yours. Started off watching you at uni, single, no idea what I was doing in life. Now I’m 30, married and expecting our first baby! Mad how time flies but always enjoyed watching your vids and growing up along with you! 😊
I can’t wait for Zoe’s Christmas videos 🙃
I think you hit the nail on the head when you say social media used to be an escape from the real world and now we escape from social media to be in the real world..
everything you say is so relatable. I feel like a lot of creators are going through the absolute same phase right now.
Oh, du hier? 😃😃
i’ve been here the whole 9 years which means i’ve been watching you since i was 10 😳
I haven’t even started watching this yet and I’m already happy - plus the length of this video makes me excited lol
i saw 50 minutes and got so excited 😂😂
Yesss this is such a treat
In my opinion is SO RUDE asking women when they're getting pregnant.
love the video 💕
I haven't watched zoe in ages mainly because I've been busy with school and life but I saw this video pop up as I was doing my makeup today so I decided to click on it - and watching this video with her and alfie honestly gives me so much nostalgia and serotonin because I remember watching them when I was in middle school/high school and now I'm a sophomore in college. I just love their vibe and it makes me so happy

i never knew you had this phobia and as someone who has it it’s made me smile knowing that someone like you struggles with it, i’m only 17 but getting pregnant terrifies me because of morning sickness! i also feel like their are times were i should’ve been sick but haven’t ! thank you for talking about it, as i said it’s nice knowing other people have the fear

Zoe your best content is when you dont care what people will think! Its real, its in the moment, and its authentic!
I always feel like social media used to much more wholesome. There was much less pressure to post perfect content. I miss the days when people would upload a picture of their Starbucks with a god awful sepia filter :(
Hi Zoe I loved this video it was so calming to listen to you talk after such a stressful day today, I made a cuppa, got all cozy, snuggled with the dog and thought I’d put this on. I find you so inspirational and you probably hear this all the time but you’re so amazing. You are genuinely the type of person I look up to and I know it sounds cringe but you are. You’re relatable, funny and stand for what you think is right. So just thought I’d let you know that you mean a lot to millions of young girls/boys xx

I'm so glad that you have brought up about pregnancy and the fear of being sick. I'm 27 years old now and me and my husband are starting to talk about having a baby, I cannot stand being sick, I can help others who are sick but the thought actually scares me I generally no how you feel Zoe!
Idk how old Zoe was when she made her “How to do a perfect top knot” video, but that was the first video of hers I ever saw. She was also the first TH-camr I ever subbed to! Wild!
I also have verrrrry similar emetophobia. you're not alone with being able to control your body when you should probably be sick. If you make progress with this, please share. It's so nice to hear someone else working through the same fear.
Here for 11 years and it gave me a whole new perspective on all the small things that can make you happy! Can't tell you how many times I have been inspired by your cozy sleepovers, holiday preparations or even by a simple cuppa of hot choc! And it transferred to my life and brought lots of joy! Thank you so much!!
I’ve been watching your videos for YEARS and I didn’t know that your anxiety stemmed from a fear of being sick. Mine is the EXACT same and I had no idea we had that in common!
I used to watch you’re videos ALL the time but kind of lost contact for the last couple of month. I used to love you’re videos for you’re honesty and rawness. It always felt like watching a best friend. When I read the Titel of the video I felt soooo thrown back to that time and just had to watch it. I understand that sometimes it can be very hard to be so open and vulnerable online. Especially with how many followers you’ve gained over the years. Very happy you feel confident enough to be so open again. Missed you!!! xxx
Can’t wait for her Christmas vlogs to start 🤍🤍
Hi Zoe, I really struggle with emetophobia. I get anxiety and panic attacks due to the fear of being sick. I don’t mind anyone else’s sick etc. Just my own for some reason. I have begun to understand why I feel sick and how to prevent that and know I am much better however, I have found that how other people deal with it is super important. It’s so nice relating to someone! Xx
not me watching your vlogmas 4 years ago waiting for this one and getting a notification that video was out, yayyyy
At the beginning of october i went back and watched all the vlogmas' all the way back from 2014 and am on 2019 now. Lol I rewatch them every year!

I'm 30 and have been here since the beginning of your channel, I completely get what you mean about the net being cosy back in the day! The main reason I gravitated to your channel is because you were like me and my friends. Keep doing you boo!
Zoe, don't worry about sharing things you feel unsure about, what ever you post i will always sit and watch and find intresting. You're vlogs are amazing and they make so many people smile :) 💕
We are the same age so I’ve been here since the beginning!! I agree, TH-cam was so sweet and innocent back then. I still look forward to your videos because they still have that cozy feeling ! 💞
A good and long ol’ chat with zoe is exactly what I needed for a cozy evening
I used to read Zoe’s blog before she started vlogging. It’s crazy to how we have both grown in the past 12 years
Been here since you was 19 in your old bedroom !! I remember living for the gang with you Alfie niomi Tanya Jim Marcus Tyler! I miss those days xxx
I've been here since you were 21 and I don't see myself going anywhere anytime soon, love you when you're vulnerable like this and love you when all you want to share is you baking! whatever makes YOU happy to share is all I want to see!
i love when alfie is in those type of moods and seeing you guys just being goofy. I can relate so much and it genuinely makes me smile
Just want to give you some reassurance. I had my little girl 7 months ago and never had any morning sickness throughout my entire pregnancy. So there is hope!
If I try really hard, I can kinda remember my 30s. Thirty is NOT old! You're just getting started.
I’ve not thrown up since I was in third grade and I’m almost 19 now. I’ve stopped myself from getting sick so many times and I don’t know how. I’m exactly the same when people around me are sick I won’t want to be around them at all. It feels so good to know I’m not the only one 🥺♥️
This was a really sweet and genuine video. It was so nice to hear your "raw" opinions about your life and changes you've been through. Felt like we were having a laid-back chat :)
When you were talking about how social media used to be so cosy and like an escape...I was thinking how much I think like this in regards to your channel. I’ve been here since I was about 9 or 10 and now I’m about to graduate HS, and watching your videos has shaped me as a person and definitely for the better. Even just the small things like getting me addicted to Harry Potter or cheering me up during Christmas when I watch old Vlogmas series has given me so much happiness. Just thought I’d throw some gratitude out here 🤍
This is so insane. I only just started to figure out my fear of being sick. I have found out I have been going through this for over ten years now. Everything you just talked about is what I go through every single day. My therapist told me that this is the reason I have anxiety and I feel as though everything has just fallen into place once hearing this. Thank you for speaking about it. I now feel as though I am not alone...
The thing that she said about TH-cam being a safe space, an escape from the world and now we are escaping from social media to real world .. That just hit home. The reason why I started watching her in the first place was because I felt like I belonged. And now everything around TH-cam just seems so toxic.
I’ve been ‘here’ since 2012!
I still remember the first video I watched of yours. At your Dads home. In your bedroom and you showed us how you styled your long hair.
I had just had a baby and I was struggling with postpartum really bad. I hated the way I looked, hated my limp thick some what wavy hair. Etc but my hubby and I had our first date night and I wanted to ‘try’ something new.
You showed us how to do a plat headband thing. Lol
I tried it and it turned out. I felt so hood about myself that night.
After that I binged your videos and I’ve been here ever since! ❤️
I have never related to someone more in my life. Someone that has the same exact anxiety as me, that is from being afraid of getting sick. I thought I was the only person that thought this way and got anxious about that.
Thank you for sharing! Love you!
My question is why did you stop posting on your “main” channel? I feel like you’ve never really answered this. Love you guys tho
i used to be SO scared to be “sick” but it happend a while ago and it actually wasn’t that bad. It was an issue due to my medication and i felt so nauseous and the only thing that helped was to be sick so i did it and i felt so calm after so now it dosent really bother me anymore.
Put some warm chamomile tea bags on your eye for a few minutes a few times a day!! This helps with the infection and the pain in you eye!
It's also good when you have pinkeye!
You should dip a cotton pad or cotton wool in freshly boiled hot water from the kettle in a small bowl with like half a teaspoon of salt dissolved in it. Then gently swipe the cotton pad over your stye therefore cleaning the area. It gets rid of the stye so quickly sometimes over night. Works every time for me
I’ve been here from ur start and grew up with u. I’m about to be 29. I love how u have grown and changed as I have too. I feel like ur my bff thru TH-cam.
I can already tell Zoe's going to literally make my day (or night) with this vlog, I was waiting for it to come up! can't wait to watch it after dinner.
thank you Zoe for keeping uploading content even I this difficult time where we're all a bit confused and worried about our future. you are a light and the one who keeps me wanting to be optimistic and to have hopes
who’s going through the comments when the first ad is still on..
honestly i love how this felt more ‘zoe’, please zoe never feel like you have to say/ do a certain thing, do what your heart wants and being your sweet bubbly self ♡
Its so strange, because my Anxiety makes me throw up. I get so nervous i throw up. If i had that fear aswell I couldn’t imagine how awful that would be
I definitely think I’ve been here since the beginning! It doesn’t feel like 11 years since I was watching your boot sale hauls and trips to primark with your mum. You definitely were a real tonic to my loneliness when I was younger, and now at 27 I feel like I’m catching up with an old friend. Thank you xx
I have been here since 2012. I remember the very first Joe Sugg videos and the whole British group. I have been here awhile and through it all.
I have the exact same phobia! It has made me not want to have children. I have definitely prevented myself from throwing up way too many times.
I've been here since the beginning, the 'cosy days' and thats why i still watch...i still get that cosy feeling watching your videos
I’ve definitely been here since you were 19, I was 14 at the time and you felt like a cool older sister being a role model for me! TH-cam has changed an insane amount but watching your videos, and some of the other people I watched back in 2009 makes me feel so comforted and nostalgic, we have all grown up together
I’ve been here since your video about anxiety! You’re like my comfort blanket. When I feel anxious I always come and watch your vlogs! 🥰
I love the way you two look at eachother sometimes. Just so beautiful to see two individuals mature independently and together through the youtubeyears.
Have 3 children, 2 girls and 1 boy. Didn’t throw up ever in the first trimester. I guess I’m lucky!
I’ve been here all along!! Since the first few years of your account. Social media has for sure had a negative impact on my self esteem over the years and even more in the last 6 months but your channel has 100% always been my safe place. Whenever my anxiety has previously gotten out of hand, I always find myself watching your videos and they instantly keep me calm and grounded. Please don’t feel like we don’t care because your presence online has helped me and many others SO much. Thank you. Xx
4 minutes in and let me tell you.. I CARE!!
I started watching you when I was in middle school and now I am doing a masters degree, it’s so crazy how time flies and how much we’ve both grown up. I’m proud of us. You helped me through so much and I thank you so much for that. I’m glad you’re doing great!
Oh my god I am exactly the same with the emetophobia! thank you so much for talking about it because I hear not many people that do - it makes me feel less alone so thank you! x
i haven't been around for 11 years but I've been for 6, almost 7 now. i'm a couple of years younger tahn you so you have always felt like a big sister to me. i really like having you in my life through your videos
Pregnancy vomiting is not the same as when you're sick (at least for me) I'm really good at not vomiting and don't like it either but this you really can't avoid but it's so light and quick and then it's over. I cried the first time because as I said I'm usually great at not vomiting and I didn't want to but it was so not a big deal and then it only happened a few more times like maybe 5 in total and was like an expert and unbothered by it by then. So I hope this helps anyone who worries about pregnancy vomiting that not all first trimesters are hell some people don't even have nausea at all! X
I’ve had the same phobia for years, and I always felt weird for having it. I’m awful with it and this video has made me feel slightly better. I think of the same things. You are wonderful and I’m so happy I have gotten to grow with you over the years, Zoe.
I’ve been here since you was 19 Zoe and since I’ve been watching you I have loved you and your personality. You make my day and helped me with so much
I am 31 years old and genuinely watched you from the beginning 😂 TH-cam is my guilty pleasure when I’m doing in the makeup in the morning while my little girl destroys my makeup bag 😂 you’ve been the most real and my absolute favourite from day dot . Keep being you ❤️❤️❤️
I always was here for the cozy days, but it all has changed now. I used to love to stay home to just watch video's on TH-cam where people filmed their live, but I didn't live my own life. So since TH-cam has changed since years ago I started to live my own live more. So yes I still miss that time and just chillin' with my TH-cam friends, but I love to live my own live aswell.
Zoe, I am exactly the same! I used to have hour long panic attacks every day because of the fear of being sick. I used to not eat for days on end in case I eat bad food and get sick, and haven't been sick in more than 10 years now. I am so much better than I used to be but I still have fairly regular panic attacks about it even now
I’ve been watching since the very beginning! In my late twenties now, it’s been so strange to see the progression of TH-cam and your channel. I agree, it did feel cozy back then.
So appreciate you speaking about mental health. My 13 year old has emetophobia and severe anxiety and it helps so much to see people speak out about their struggles. Yes! We do care. Please know that. Have been watching you for many years and love you and the energy you share ♥️
To anyone reading this: HAVE A GREAT DAY!
Such a humble lovely couple, who have never strayed away from the things that endeared them to us in the beginning.
Well as a silver lining, every pregnancy is different and not all people get morning sickness 🥰🥰 hopefully you’re one of those that don’t 💖
You are one of my cozy space on the internet. There was 1 time I have to ride a bus for 2 hrs w/c I havent done for yrs and I was having a travel sickness, plus it was night time and I was alone so I feel like throwing up.. but your voice on one of your chit chat videos comforted me so much.. I put on my headset and just listen to you for 2 hrs straight (w/o watching bc it also makes me sick watching videos while on car ride but yoyr voice and knowing that I love your videos was so comforting, it wasnt music but your voice truly).. that was the time I truly appreciated the comfort you give. Love you.
This was lovely to watch, felt very nostalgic. I've been here the whole 11 years
I love it when I see that Zoe has posted a 50 min vlog. I’m glad you’re well Zoe and happy for you guys for getting the office. These vids give me such cozy feels and really get me in the autumn vibe. Thank you for being so lovely and sweet for so many years. And I hope you don’t feel pressure to post videos when you’re not up to it. I don’t think anyone here would like it if you were only posting cause you feel you have to. We understand that live is difficult and busy sometimes. And TH-cam might not be your top priority anymore. That’s okay Zoe, you have your life to live too and I’m so happy for you and your success. You are blessed. 🥰♥️
19 year old Zoe vs Zoe now? 11 years and I'll still watch these vlogs as soon as they're up😅🥰
I feel like I’ve seen many TH-camrs I’ve followed for the past ten years or so trim down things in videos and content. The past few years as we (I’m 28) have grown to our late twenties/early thirties I feel like it’s easier to see life happening around you that you want to keep just for you. I’ve never had a huge following on any social media platform, but I’ve noticed myself just taking disposable camera pics more than phone ones, or posting a photo once a week, not telling everyone every single life-update that occurred etc etc. It’s lovely to see you do a sit down video!! But don’t worry if you don’t do it regularly. Life shifts our boundaries, comfort levels and mindsets.
