I love discovering fellow writers (or creatives) with a day job! I often find I can’t really relate with the stereotypical creative who has all the hours in a day.

Thank you for being honest. I think everyone of us has bad days and just overwhelming times and vlogs like that are helping to understand that no one is alone in this. It happens to the best of us.

Not going to lie, in the span of like two weeks, you’ve become my calm place 💗

August 2021 Update!! This story got published!!! It is now called 'The Mercy of Sea Foam', and was published in the winter edition of Vocieworks #123 Pickle 💛 Ahoy! I hope you guys have all been doing well 💛 I'm going to be doing an 'answering your assumptions about me' video soon! Please jump over to my Instagram stories if you'd like to pop in an assumption, and I'll tell if it's correct or not: instagram.com/christyannejones 😊🌸 P.S. When I finished filming this vlog, I thought it was going to be a MESS. But It turns out, I actually really like it 😅 I was a little worried about talking about my ~failed~ Saturday, and how I felt a little overwhelmed and had to give up on what I was working on. I don't ever want to whinge or be a downer for other people, but I wanted the vlog to be honest and realistic. Sometimes, stuff like that just happens. Sometimes, things go wrong and life forces us to take breaks, and we just need to eat pancakes for lunch and go watch The Office and try again another day. Anywho, I hope you enjoy the vlog! Take care, everyone 💛💛

You are always calm and inspiring. I am not usually leaving out comments, but when you mentioned burnout, I really felt the need to thank you for your honesty. Most of us go through though periods and we tend to hide it or fake it, until sometimes we end up lying to ourselves that we're ok. Take care of yourself and thank you for all your amazing content!

I really appreciate the pure honesty in this video! I do come to your videos for the calm, cozy vibes, and it is so refreshing to watch each one! This one was also a beautiful vlog! And I think it's really special for you to be able to open up about just having an off day. Everyone needs to be reminded from time to time that NONE OF US are perfect, and none of us have a perfect life. You don't have to film the imperfect parts or share them all the time, but I think it's good for everyone to remember that those off days where you're just not feeling it do happen. :) Lots of Love!

I just wanted to say I'm so grateful and lucky I found your channel it gives me peace why is this channel not blowing up

This vlog is beautiful and I feel much less alone in the hustle and bustle of all that is the KZfaq + work + life balance. Here's to prioritizing time for rest! Still rooting for that zine collection of your poems/short stories!

I love how you talk to us in the middle of your videos too. I rarely know any other KZfaqr who's made 'a week in my life' video and has taken time to be real with us for a little while, everyday, and just talk. ♥️

To me it's more calming when people are equally open (as much as they are willing to be) about their struggles with life balance/productivity/writing as they are with their successes. We've all had those days and it's nice to know/be reminded that we're not alone. I cried over split oatmeal once.

Thank you for being so real with us! It really helps

This is probably one of my favorites of your vlogs. Your willingness to share how things didn’t go according to plan is so relatable. I really appreciate your honesty and vulnerability.

your vids are sooo calming ✨ looking forward to ur short story ⭐

Really loved this video and your honesty about the challenges of trying to balance a 9-5 and creative work. I've only just started making YT videos consistently and although it's really fun it's definitely a juggling act alongside work, health, relationships etc.! I honestly love the way you balance all the calming cosy content with the reality of being human and stuff going wrong and not working. Though I hope you make that doll's house in another video sometime because it looks soooo cute! 💛

Thank you for sharing your routine! I usually get asked the same questions. and the exhaustion, creative burnout is real! More power to your writing

Your videos are so calming it helps with anxiety. It's also comforting to know that you're relatable (sometimes you end up wasting time because of feeling under the weather)

Over in the UK still in a lockdown and living life virtually through other people's vlogs doing normal things like going out for food and im very jealous . it seems were stuck in a never ending cycle this side of the pond . I throughly enjoyed this vlog it was so nice and calming :)

CHRISTY LIVES IN A STUDIO GHIBLI UNIVERSE. THIS VIDEO HAS CONFIRMED IT ALL ~🤣💗

All for the cozy content and just seeing your life in general, but girl when you talked about how you weren't feeling it and how everything seemed to be going wrong...I felt that in my soul. I adore that you spoke about that. Feel free to always show the more "boring" and "negative" parts of your life, because I promise they're neither. It just adds to all of us feeling like we have a like-minded, and normal, friend

I am so happy by being early. You are so inspiring for a person like me who is aspiring to be a writer and want to be creative. Your vlog is so aesthetically pleasing and warmly calm.

Your calming overall presence is so comforting! Thank you for keeping us all sane

Great video! I'm recovering from a tough mental health period and going back to doing one of the things I love most -- writing. This has inspired me a bit more. Thanks!

Hey Christy, let me just say that your videos are honestly always beautiful and so calming, and you not being positive all the time does not make you annoying or anything along those lines. You are human and you are amazing and I just want you to know that I really appreciate the fact that you're so hardworking and kind and sweet and always doing your best! You always tell us to take it easy and to take care of ourselves because our health is more important than being productive all the time, and I want you to remember that the same goes for you, alright? Take care of yourself and make sure to rest for as long as you need to. I'm sure the short story is amazing!! And this comment is so long already, so I'll just say- keep being amazing and stay safe!! Thank you for everything that you do!! 🧡🧡

I’m glad you prioritised yourself in the end after what sounded like a disastrous morning 😅 pls don’t be sorry about being honest in your videos ❤️

I love this honest video of yours. And I really felt your Saturday - somehow, I felt like this a lot too the past week. Can't wait to read your new short story, good luck for the submission! 💛 And letting the computer read the text out loud is such a good idea, I never thought of that! I will use that for my next writing, thank you! 😊

Love your honesty. I'm a newbie AuthorTuber binging videos.x

I'd been waiting for a new vlog and here it is. Thank you for making my day, Christy❤️

thank you for being so transparent! i really enjoyed this video

Thank you so so much for your videos despite your own difficulties, Christy. Thank you!

I have one of those mini-house kits too! Picked it up in Tokyo ☺️ It's so cute but it's taking me literally months to do - I just tinker away at it every now and then. I didn't know it'd be so detailed! But you're definitely not alone in feeling overwhelmed by it, I had a similar experience with thinking it would take a day and then quickly getting frustrated haha. But it's still fun to work on and see it come together! Good luck with yours 💛✨

your videos give me so much peace

Thank you for this lovely video! The beginning of the year has been very busy for me as well, and I totally get the feelings you described here. The lockdown probably makes everything harder as well. But your videos always make me feel better and calmer, so thank you 😊💚

Congratulations with the 80k subscribers 🎉 you're a wonderful person❤️

Thank you for sharing about your Saturday. I'm sure it helped you to share it and I find it so relatable. 💛 I also really enjoyed you discussing the video making process and how you juggle so many different creative works plus a 9-5! I am currently working on my first KZfaq video. 🤗 I knew nothing about editing going into this and I've spent 2 months on this one video! 😨 I really hope I can learn to edit a video in one or two days so that I can upload on a regular basis! I really love your videos Christy! You inspire me! 💖

Hey Christy ! I always feel happy when you upload a new vlog ! I loved it ❤ and i want to thank you for sharing your current hardships with us..it must be really hard to balance all those things ,and since we're both infj's i totally understand the part of being a perfectionist and not feeling happy about what you're making sometimes..but despite everything, your content is so beautiful and comforting ❤ take breaks for yourself whenever you need it and good luck with your current projects 😊💙

This vlog just inspired me to push myself again from my comfort zone, Thank You so much ❤️❤️

Just came across this, and I love it 💙 It's definitely a calm space, but for me, sharing your thoughts and problems adds to that calm. It motivates me, cause we all go through that. Love this so much!!!!

Love every single second of this video. You are a source of inspiration 🙂🙂

I love some honesty, and one can still be optimistic and hopeful despite some small bad things here & there

Just searched you up again after watching your writing routines and vlogs. They're so good and completely my type I watch when I'm writing my own stuff. It would be selfish of me to request you to make more videos like this but if you get time and the energy please continue to make them. 🖤 Love from India.

This vlog is so relaxing 😌

Yay Christy! We love you! LOL when your hair brush broke I exploded 😂that has happened to me TWICE 😂❤️❤️

ur videos are so calming

I love your videos! They make me feel calm and relaxed...😊❤

Omg I just love your videos so much♥

Loved how honest this video was! I always love your videos Christy!

Look at that aesthetic living room lighting

this is the most relatable thing

i love watching people in different hemispheres have completely different seasons! like for example it snowed today and in over Australia they're dying of heat stroke, wild! loved this video

I've binge watched your videos todays while working... I love your content :)

great video!! and your freckles are so cute ♥

I appreciate your honesty and I too skip words when writing.

Thank you for showing imperfect parts of life and thank you for all that you share 💕💕💕🌹

I need to check the description to make sure you use bwl as your background sound 💜💜💜 love it 🥰

I love your videos no matter what! 😊 And you look so beautiful Christy!!

Your vlog just inspired me to paint today. I love it. 🥰

AMAZING VIDEO!!!

You are an inspiration

I love grammar but can't spell too! Omg just from that statement alone i am following your journey lol I also love The Office. Michael is my favorite though haha

its so soothing to watch your videos subbed :)

No idea if this is a weird thing to say, but I really like your voice! Its so calming to listen to. Loved this vlog!

Lots of love ❤❤

omg. I’m new here and I love your vids so much

You have a lot on the go, and I think you are handling it all just fine. I have worked very part-time for many years now (I'm home with my kids) but I had worked full-time for many years before, and I have not forgotten how difficult it is to juggle everything. It is -31 here on the Canadian prairies this morning--it would be nice if we could share a bit of this cold and your extreme hot to make a happy medium =)

Thank you for honesty, Christy, I'm moved hearing your thoughts and watching your videos. Burnout is a thing and I hope you can find some time for yourself, you go girl! Also wanna ask, how often do you submit for a contest? I know some contests are paid and I still consider whether it needs that often like a contest-hunter or I just spend time to sharpen my skill and submit when my works are worthy.

I'm so much curious about the short story😊

When I have days like your Saturday, it's a clue I need a do-nothing day. Those days are productive even if it doesn't seem like it. LOL

Must be so hard fitting writing in, loved the insight into your life lovely ❤️

🥺 owwww you made me cry... I hope you are feeling better... big kiss sweet Christy 🌺

The food clips made me hungry. My tummy is already grumbling

Hello Christy💚😊 This video vlog I love so much. I like your dishes and I will prepare pancakes and other dishes too😋 Your videos very positive 🥰🥰🥰 Thank you so much take care 💚😊

I love the fact that you love Asian food ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you so much. This inspires me to keep pushing on my channel with similar content. You have a new subbie here for sure. I really enjoyed this. Thanks for the inspiration.

Stuck on your channel ❤

Thank you for putting me on a tripod Christy 😅

Really enjoyed your video and your honesty. Rest is so important and things don’t always go as we planned and that’s okay ❤️ I am a writer myself, any tips on creating a consistent practice of writing? Let me know!

The Boy with Luv cover music was a nice surprise ☺️

Your food looks so healthy with the mix of greens in everything. Maybe except for the desserts 🤭 ! Always enjoyed your vids! Love from Sri Lanka ❤️
