dear friend,

the break has been really nice.
i gave myself plenty of time to edit this vlog, and it felt like the old days.. spending 15+ hours on a vlog, thoughtfully making every minute decision, all for the fun of it and none of it for the sake of completing something. my heart smiles.
this is a compilation of footage in the week's time right after my school got out on break, before my mom, sister and I left for europe on our girl's trip. Those travel vlogs shall be coming soon, too.
What was your favorite segment in this vlog? it's really packed with adventure. I forgot to caption at 05:05 that this would be a very fancy upgrade as prairie's future pram, lol. funny because it is similar in color to the one she has now too!
(she's currently sunbathing not far from our feet, her little ears warm and pink from the heat).
It's nearly noon now, though my original goal was to get this up and done by yesterday night! crazy, i actually stayed up until 3am very enthralled with at least exporting the file. today is the end to our weekend, and I am to spend it with tyler. He's had some work to finish as well, but we planned to put aside today as our date day to go out to the farmer's market, maybe go on a run or hike, etc. I appreciate that he's understanding and will wait for me all morning to finish this.
I am so happy you are here, I cannot wait to share more with you.
tell me, how are you? have you been sleeping well, and taking care of your mind and body?
it is no exaggeration that it's SO important to nourish ourselves from within in order to be able to go about this world sustainably (lastingly), and happily. I've realized it is necessary to think a lot about ourselves. what do we need? no one is gonna know that better than ourselves, and sometimes it takes some effort to find out what it is.
for me, it's been nature, cooking, reading, brainstorming about art projects, peace & quiet, and taking care of my body in ways of exercise and skincare.
I hope to get a PO box soon (I know i've been saying this with no result for months, but i really do want to write you)
talk soon, lots of love
Annabelle

    dearest friend, i hope your mental state is well right now. thank you for sharing this week with us. i'm so happy to see you treating yourself and be more laid back away from stress of any sorts. hope to see more of you soon. besos~
  • @cheesy_bagel
    you have that special talent of always reminding us that thereā€™s so much beauty and magic to life, and how nice it is just to be .. i forget that a lot but your videos always tend to remind me again, thank you for existing annabelle and i hope you have a wonderful rest of the summer!! šŸ’— also lilithā€™s glasses are SO cute like.. every single pair she owns is so nice, it makes me want to get more types of glasses lol
  • @annika2944
    the butterfly garden sequence made me feel so much love, the music, vibes, colors, everything. so beautiful :)
  • @sami-tw7qk
    Ahh! The wholesome lady at the back!! ā€œThat was a good fan dance.ā€ god I love people sometimes
  • @evem6739
    dear friend, I haven't commented in such a long time but this vlog made me compelled to do so. You have the ability to capture simple moments in life and make them into beautiful sequences and I enjoy every second of it. The butterfly garden bit had me crying - I keep thinking about how much my dad would appreciate going to something like that but he cannot since he has stage 4 cancer. Ew I'm crying as I'm writing this ANYWAY your vlogs make me so appreciative for what I have and who I still have in my life and I love you so much for sharing bits of your life with us. My mental health hasn't been the best recently, but I'm trying so hard to do better for myself. I have a public speaking class starting tomorrow and I am SO anxious about it, but I hope i'll be okay. I'm writing so much because I feel like I'm talking to an old friend..I'll stop now hehe Anyway, I hope you have an amazing rest of your summer and that you spend a lot of much needed time with your family. Love you lots!!!! -Eve
  • Dear Annabelle, I find you immensely inspiring. Before watching this video, I deliberately put a stool in front of my favourite grandma chair and rested my laptop on that stool. It was already 14:30, but it was lunch time for me. I grabbed the bowl of couscous salad with tempeh and gently sat down on my favourite grandma chair. With the bowl resting on my thighs, I moved the cursor to hover on the thumbnail of this video, and click I go. Thanks for giving me this wonderful time to take in your creation, to take in nourishment from food and to simply rest my body on, again, my favourite grandma chair. Back to your question, I am doing better. Two weeks ago, I was in a very dark state, but with the help of lots of crying and talking to loved ones, this darkness slowly eased away. Even though it was really difficult to be in that state, it has been another good lesson, another good reminder that every single second lived is a victory. I hope you're enjoying Europe. Love, Michelle

    ~Watching your videos is like seeing the world through a Polaroid picture~
  • @popisdead6495
    Everyoneā€™s saying how beautiful the butterfly segment is (and it really is) but the antique shop montage was too adorable I think
  • @mei6925
    šŸ’– happy anniversary to you and tyler šŸ’– and thank you for another cozy and heartwarming vlog šŸ˜Š
  • @saturn4rchive
    Thank you for taking the time of editing this video, Annabelle! All the shots were beautiful and really put in a capsule the moments in life we can appreciate. Whenever you upload a video I feel like doing something nice for myself, I put on a face mask this time, so thank you for giving me that (although you don't know it lol). I hope you enjoyed your trip to Europe with your mum and sister and hope you're doing better! Lots of love!
  • @one.ebrown
    How ironic is it that it's been awhile since I've watched your videos, only to come back and see that you were in my home city!! Greetings from The Flower City!! Next time you visit, go to a restaurant called The French Quarter Cafe. They serve delicious Cajun Creole styled food and I think you'd love the French Quarter style theme of the mansion.
  • @katscoven
    2 years? It feels like 10. Congratulations for you and I wish you many years more. You look so happy together šŸ˜
  • @Dihyadud
    Congratulations to Lilith!! I couldn't help but tear up a bit when you were filming and cheering for her. Felt like she was/is moving up to a new step in her life. I wish her all the best. It's always a pleasure watching your vlogs, always ever so calming and inspiring! Sending you all my love xx Kiss prairie for me - Dee
  • @Nejem
    Annabelle, this is probably the most magical video of yours! Butterflies, Tyler's party, Lillith's graduation and photos - this is just amazing! I'm so glad i've been watching you since your Dorm Room video, it's truly a journey
  • @elliotstover322
    that childrens museum and the train car diner are such vivid and big parts of my child hood being from central new york and seeing you there is so nostalgic
  • @l0wkey321
    Always feel honored to see you grow throughout these years, as if like I'm with you and you're with me, becoming better persons. Glad I found your channel way back when you started your college journey together with mine. Thank you friend. Also thank you Tyler for also bringing the best out of Annabelle too.
