in the meantime, i’m keen on doing a standalone chatty book haul soon to talk about all the amazing books i’ve received in january and february! and then maybe a chatty monthly wrapup in my upcoming vlogs ✨✨ things are brewing! thanks for all of your support as always! 🥹🤍

hello everyone 🤍 i hope you’ve all been well!

i’m so sorry for the lack of videos lately! i’m working hard to finish the “guide to annotating” video and am hoping to get this up in the next week or two. i’m also sharing an exciting news soon, which is the main reason why i’ve been pretty mia!

in the meantime, i’m still pretty active on my instagram (@cupsandthoughts), so feel free to follow me there if you’d like updates on when new videos will be up :) i’ve been reading quite a bit too and hoping to get some fresh new reading / bookish content up in the new year! 🥰

how have you all been? have you guys read any good books recently? we will be reading One Dark Window by Rachel Gilig this month for our Discord book club, and I’m so excited!!! i’m also currently reading Cruel Is The Light by Sophie Clark. i’m savoring it as it’s sooo good! 🤭✨please leave a message below so we can catch up 🫶🏼 thank you all for the unending support 🥹🤍✨

Hi everyone!! I hope you've all been well 😊 I've got a quick question for you all! So I'm currently filming my full annotating video of the Green Bone Saga and have just finished annotating Jade City. I don't want to speed up the annotating clips and would like to make an "annotate with me" type video where you can put on to study / journal / annotate with (soft music will be playing in the background alongside unfiltered background noises). But the footage of Jade City alone is already 2 hours long! And my annotations for Jade War and Jade Legacy are much, much more 😂 My question is if you guys would like a separate video for each book, or if a long, raw video (could be 6 to 7 hours long!) is preferred. Or a sped up video for all three books in one? I'm not quite sure what is preferred, but I would love to know your thoughts!

Hello cozy community! I hope you're all doing well :) I'm still on vacation in Bali and am brainstorming some new content for when I get back! So here I am asking you guys what you'd like to see more of on my channel? 😊 I already have the Annotating Guide and Organise My Bookshelf videos noted down, but are there any other videos you'd like to see apart from just cozy vlogs? Perhaps a book recommendation video? Monthly wrap-ups? A long annotate with me video? :)

In addition to new video ideas, how would you guys feel about having voiceovers for some of these videos? Feel free to cast your votes below on how much voiceover you'd like on my videos! I was thinking of speaking more in some of my non-vloggy videos so you guys are a bit more engaged, but I'm keen to know what you guys think <3 Please leave a comment below telling me your thoughts!! I would love to create more videos outside of just cozy vlogs 🥰

Have an amazing rest of the week, everyone!

hello friends! i hope you’re all doing well 🤍 i wanted to pop on here to let you know that a vlog is in the works, but i’ve been busy with house hunting shenanigans that i haven’t had the time to edit the video and get it out quicker! i’m so sorry for that, and i appreciate your patience 🥰

this upcoming vlog will be a pretty long one with annotations being the main focus of the video. i hope you’ll look forward to it! thank you as always for the incredible support and sweet comments you guys are conatantly leaving me. it means the whole world to me 😭🤍🤍

hello friends! i hope you’re all doing well 🥰 i’m so sorry there hasn’t been any new videos these past two weeks! the upcoming video is going to be a sponsored one so i’m just waiting to hear back from the client before hitting publish. this next video will be a reading vlog (yay 🥹📖☕️) and will include a huge book haul, some journaling, and planning!

i’m also trying to be more comfortable with voiceovers so you’ll hear my voice a bit in this video too hehe… i hope you guys don’t mind! it helps me with subtitles and i’ve been getting feedback that having voiceovers allow people to concentrate on the visuals of my videos! 🥰

anyway, i’m hoping to have the video up during the weekend, otherwise it’d be early next week :) thanks for the support as always, everyone!

take care 🤍
cath.

hello friends! i am currently on vacation in bali to visit my mom :) i grew up in indonesia so it’s great to be back. we’re eating lots of amazing food, exploring new places and spending time with family. it’s been such a lovely trip 🤍 i brought some books with me and am editing a vlog that will hopefully be up some time this week, so stay tuned! 🍃✨ a couple of upcoming vlogs will have some bali snippets (i.e indo food, nostalgia, mems, cute spots, and just an all-round wholesome time), so do expect them hehe ☺️ i hope you’re all doing well!

hello sweet friends!!

i hope you’re all doing okay 🥰🤍 i’ve had such a hectic past couple of weeks lately — my mom flew over to visit, i started my full time consulting position, and i had my graduation ceremony. i was a completely frazzled bean the whole time and haven’t had the chance to sit down and edit my new video. it’s in the works, i promise — it’s just taking a lot longer than normal! i hope to get it out some time this week before i leave on a 4-day trip this saturday (which i’ll be documenting quite a bit too)! the next video will be a 20 minute one i think, so it’s a little longer than normal! it’s going to include some exciting unboxings, lots of sweet treats, order preps, and of course books ✨

thank you all so, so incredibly much for the insane amount of support lately… i truly have no words 😭 thank you for leaving the sweetest comments and kind suggestions about my etsy shop. i’m so happy to see that you’re enjoying the slice of life, cosy and slow content on my channel — it means everything to me 🥺🥺🥺

rest assured i’m trying my best to put out a new video at least once every fortnight! so for now, take care everyone and i hope see you in my next video! 🤍
