#april #saturnreturn #reading #adhd #autism #cooking #plantbased #vegan #glutenfree
this year is going by so fast !!! i hope april was kind to you. this vlog is a real mix of what i’ve been up to. i hope it’s entertaining, it’s always a bit hard to tell when mixing so much footage into a thirty minute video.
i talk about feeling behind in my 20s, not wanting children or relationships, what i’m reading, cooking and wearing. it’s autumnal, cosy and creative. can’t wait to share some big life updates in my next video! take care x

Glad you exist and share your thoughts, it’s inspiring❤️
Your videos are just beautiful and thought provoking. ❤
obsessed with the heart-shaped moussaka! thank you for another beautiful video. i related a lot and really appreciate seeing similar experiences and feelings to mine on screen 💞🙏🏻
The jumper looks great!
(Deeply grateful you’re back 😊)
If anything, I believe a podcast where you could over-explain yourself to your (and our) heart’s content, would suit you well 🎙️
Lovely video! I really like that purple jumper on you! Thanks for sharing all you cook, read and create. I get lots of inspo! (Gonna make some bread art with my toddler!!….the crab was my fav)
I'm definietly feeling the envy too about how the life of people around me is progressing. my health got worse after I started studying at university and I'm now at an age, where I see a lot of my friends finish their studies, getting jobs with their degrees and moving. and I feel so far away from their life and their experience of life. I also feel really aware of that distance, when I talk about my life, that is so much slower than theirs and also changing so different than theirs is changing. it's a tough spot to be in.
The algorithm brought me to this video and I’m so grateful 🧡 it is uncanny how similar our circumstances and interests are – even down to our short flicky hair at the back of the head 😂 I also used cooking growing up to gain agency over what I was eating and I feel you on the comparison to neurotypical peers. Now that it’s almost 8 years out of paid work for me, it does feel easier to see how I contribute to society and the value I bring to the world, even if some days that’s just keeping my partner nourished with delicious food 🥰
Your vlogs are so calming☆
I‘m always happy to see a new video from you! ❤
Foster has also been made into a film if you can find it on your streaming sites! I watched in on Hulu where I am, before I even knew it was based on a book. When I read the book later on I felt like the film really stayed true to the story
Just lost a long comment I'd written !! ANyway, all the food looks so good – can't wait for the new cookbook. I used to watch Cam & Nina. Didn't know Nina was vlogging so I'm going to check out her channel. Always good to hear your thoughts, though sorry to hear you had a rough day. I can only imagine how hard it is having chronic illness so young – and seeing your friends going about their lives. Glad the month ended on a good note. While I do have two adult children I'm not sure I'd wanting to bringing any into the crazy world we are now facing.
I love your videos….I will definitely support your new cookbook. I actually have all your books. I'm a long time sub. I love your hair. Thank you for sharing : )
i've just stumbled upon your account with this first video for me popping up randomly – so glad i clicked it – im so happy i found a melbourne based vlogger with these type of videos – really relate to so much
LOVE the edit at 6:03! I must say your new found confidence is exuding in this vid. 🙂
I really liked hearing you talk about serious vs casual especially since as an autistic person I really worry about my tone and how I'm perceived I wonder if that relates to what you're talking about either way I like whatever tone you have to offer that you want to offer in the moment I am really enjoying these videos and hearing you talk and express your thoughts
Omg also listening to Devon price unmasking for life love the way he writes
