*THE NO SPOILERS POST* Thank you for watching! Let me know the best things that happened to you this month. Who is excited about my big news (again, sorry it’s not a baby) and who will be there in person???
I love that you will be coming to America!! I live on the east coast so I won't be able to meet you in LA. :( I live in Atlanta GA. Boo....wishing I lived in LA right now
ha ha ha, I so get being hyped after IW! Strange definitely has a plan. He swore he wouldn't give up the Time stone for Tony and Peter's lives but as soon as he's seen the future he's willing to...? Certainly a plan in motion there! I have an uncomfortable feeling that since all of the original Avengers are left there will be some kind of life-swap to bring the new ones back. I hope not though!
Omg IW was so awesome and such a rollercoaster! But they can't be dead, how can Tchalla be dead if they have announced that there will be another Black Panther film?! I just can't wait for may next year aaah so excited!!
I was shocked at how many people *cough* dint make it. But I loved the bubble gun scene. And in Black Panther I loved his sister and how much of a nerd she was. She was like the Tony stark of Wombie (sp?)
That was such a lovely video! I’m twelve and have hyper mobility too, it mainly manifests itself in my knees but also my ankles and hips. I do physiotherapy and wear a knee brace and some days it hurts so much. I have to say you’re my inspiration, the way you look on the bright side and are so positive even on a bad day is the type of person I aspire to be. Thank you so much for making my day when you post!
Thank you so much lovely ♥️ I’m really glad I can help you through my videos. You sound like you’re a pretty amazing person so I hope we get to meet one day xxx
Im from a family of hyper moblie people mostly the girls and we all exersize really reguraly some of us can only manage yoga on the dayle and others are real gym bunnies when i was younger i was compleatly broken by my hyper moblity i was left out pf so much simply because it wasnt worth the risk if trying to run with the other children i didnt get moving till i was in my late teans other then physio then i started yoga and then after a few years the gym start slowly but get moving build more mussel around your problem aireas the sooner the better and then you will come into less problems as you age
What worked in Malaysia vlogs: A lot of things! But especially Jessica's voice overs (sooo lovely voice) and the scrapbook style. I loved to read when I was younger and I read tons of books. I also really liked historical fictions or just, really old books so it was historical to me even though it wasn't when it was written. But sadly, my chronic fatigue doesn't allow me to read anymore. I really miss it. I've tried audiobooks, but I just fall asleep to that (yay chronic fatigue) and children's books are quite nice (the Moomin especially). But I really miss the long epic stories that I used to read growing up and in my teens. I hope I'll be able to read again like that one day!
Congrats on being noticed and valued by the CZcamsy powers that be, I'm glad people the big wigs with influence have seen how remarkably wonderful you are and see that LA needs some Jessica&Claudia. Yay! 😘😂 #ProudAF Everyone needs a daily dose of you guys xxxxxx
*OMG I'VE NEVER BEEN SO UPSET ABOUT MISSING VIDCON!!* 😭 *I'M SO HAPPY THEY'VE INVITED YOU THOUGH* 😀❤! *I love that they have recgonized you and the wonderfulness you put out!!*
Sorry that you're feeling a bit poo today... I would have to say that my favourite thing this month would have to be...you! :P It's a bit cheesy, obviously. But I've been feeling a bit poo for a while, and the rabbithole somehow led me to this delightful place on the internet. So I've been watching more of your videos than it is probably wise to admit to. But your outlook on life just makes me look on many things in a new perspective, and I really enjoy your talks and thoughts about both everyday things and more serious issues. So, here I am, a straight male with no previous interest in fashion or make-up, binge-watching your hair and make-up tutorials. :P Just because of your lovely personality. And Claudia. Obviously I adore her too!
I actually really enjoyed the whole Malaysian vlog series! The drone shots, the panoramic shots, the cute stop-motion shots, the fun chatty bits... everything was just lovely. And of course, the energy from you and Claud was just essential to any of those videos.
my favourite thing this month is Janelle Monae's album Dirty Computer (and I'm going to her concert :) ). my fave Malaysia videos were Being Gay In Asia and The Most Beautiful Place Yet!!! I loved the drone shots so much and also the point of view shots!! the outtakes were super cute too
Me being shook about _how the heck are all her books so neat_ like, there's not a single dog ear! Not even a little at the edges of the cover which I could never seem to protect- AND THEY'RE CLEAN (by that I mean I can't see any imperfections as in they look totally new, no dirt, no plastic protection, nothing)
You are always stunningly gorgeous, but something about the lighting and your clothes and makeup in the beginning and end of this video just absolutely blew me away with how incredible you look! I especially love when you smile - it’s contagious!
👋🏻 crappy ligaments, crappy muscles and crappy nerves! Crappy heart lungs and kidneys too! Plus I’m a chronic cluster head just to make things even more interesting, like I didn’t have enough severe chronic pain prior to its arrival! My favourite thing this month was my husband dying my hair blue and my awesome son being awesome!
My favorite thing this month is your channel. I discovered your channel this month and I am loving it! Being American I loved your use of the word ”Stoked” also 😁
Ooh, thanks, I've wondered about those! I love the Tudors, plantagenets and, oddly, anything to do with Versailles. Thank you for the recommendation. Xxx
My favorite thing for April was actually you! I just recently discovered your channel and I am similar to you in the obsessive personality when finding things I like. So my obsessive thing this month was you and your lovely channel! Thank you so much for bringing us into your life and letting us enjoy your lovely personality
My favorite video from your Malaysia trip was the "Trying weird Asian fruit". I love the random challenges videos like the "Style swap". I love seeing more of your personality and seeing you have fun .
Love the medieval period - all through from 'Dark' age to Tudor. We work in Living History sometimes (so fun!). Also recently discovered via second job (genealogy) that Mum is a 22nd Great Granddaughter of Empress Matilda. Veg crisps - I make my own now. So nommy. Takes a little organising in case I want to make them a day I can't slice things, but most of the veggies taht would make crisps also freeze well ;) If I do anything other than beetroot (parsnips, carrots etc) I'll boil them for about 5 mins, then pat them dry (If I'm super organised I have that done *way* ahead on a good day too before the freezer). Anyhoo, dried off par-boiled sliced veg (or sliced beetroot straight off), go into a bowl with 1tbsp olive oil and whatever seasoning I fancy. Then spread on a dry baking sheet in a single layer. Parmesan/Grana/etc on top if feeling very decadent/for dinner party, then bake for 10-15 mins. - Hard part is letting them cool before eating! ;)
When I find something that interests me I'm already gone and will never leave that damn fandom. I also tend to buy a lot of merch and fill my whole life with that thing so yeah I have a lot of different fandom t-shirts. I always go extra hard and always want to know everything there is to know about that thing.
In march, my cousin and I went to the Banyos de Coamo in Coamo, Puerto Rico. They are hot pools. One is hot and the other is warm. It was very relaxing and soothing.
1. You are the most precious. 2. I haven't watched ALL of your Malaysia videos, but my favorite one so far was the haul video. The teddy bear's commentary made me laugh really hard. 3. I've read "The Other Boleyn Girl," and I loved it, but I haven't read any other Philippa Gregory - I'll have to check out her other books! 4. I AM DECEASED FROM INFINITY WAR OH MY GOSH. I literally cried so hard I left the theatre with snot on my shirt. After the movie was over, my boyfriend just sat there and held me (it was incredibly sweet of him), and once I stopped bawling, I immediately texted everyone I knew who'd seen it. We saw it opening weekend, and I'm still not over it. 5. I also have a very obsessive personality. It's SO. REAL.
Jessica Kellgren-Fozard oh fabulous I’ll put my name down now! Oh ps I was watching your Vlogmas when I was sewing Christmas decorations the other day! Really enjoyed it! 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻☺️
Jessica Kellgren-Fozard you should do a vintage tea party in every country in the U.K. (like one in England, one in Ireland, one in Scotland and one in wales) bc honestly I’d love to meet you but it’s quite a trek down to England if you only did one
Not sure if you know but they filmed some of the White Queen and the White princess in Sudeley Castle in Winchcombe, Cheltenham. Which is where I used to work and I used to help out with craft services because I ran the visitor centre cafe. If you havent yet I would highly recommend that you visit, the Tudor history there is very well presented, Anne Bolynn stayed there many times and it is the burial place of Queen Katheryn Parr.
I just want to say thank you Jessica. You inspire me to keep going. Today I got diagnosed with two chronic illnesses in addition to the one I already have. One of them isn’t that severe, but it comes with hyper mobility.
I live in LA but will be unable to go to Vidcon. But I do hope you and Claud enjoy yourselves here. And I hope you get to meet up with the Besame Cosmetics people who are based in the area. I cannot wait for the vlogs. I'm so excited for you!
I completely relate re: buying new shoes for comfort! I have flat feet so shoes need to have an arch to them, and it makes buying new shoes a big pain. (I also have really long and thin feet, so usually when I buy shoes they fit me lengthwise but are too wide :( My favorite thing this month is I finally got around to cleaning my room after a long while, and it was really painful bc chronic pain but I feel a lot better having gotten it done! I'm super excited for you to go to vidcon! I can't go but I will live vicariously through the people that'll see you and support you!
Love love love Philippa Gregory! I got sucked into her books by The Other Boleyn Girl and currently have an entire shelf of her books. If you haven't read it, you totally should! There's a whole bunch that follow King Henry's mad reign and they're all so good!!
I'm with you Jessica. I have Hyper-mobile Elhers Danlos Syndrome. so all sorts of joint issues. that and other chronic illness. watching your videos helps me feel less alone and like I can actually do the things and when I can sometimes it's okay. cause hey she understands too. Jessica gets it. thank you for being amazing.
I definitely resonate with the "doing lots and then being unable to do life after". Chronic pain all over (osteoarthritis, hypermobility, surgery scarring etc).
NO Infinity Wars spoilers, kiddos seeing it later today and I will accidentally spoiler it so I'm staying away from all spoilers! Also, the best parts of the Malaysia videos for me are the ones where Claude and you are all sweet...its always inspiring the little bits of love that are off guard, the beaches looked amazing and the shopping! I'm upset I live in NY not Cali and I won't get to see you! Enjoy America, pay no attention to our politics or news channels if you wanna stay calm and sane ! All the love, happy you both made it home ok!!!
I absolutely love history, (I want to be a Historian when I'm older!) my favourite period of history is definitely the tudors and I am new to Philippa Gregory, I've just started reading the white queen and can't wait to read more! My childhood was entirely made up of horrible histories (both the books and the TV series - in fact I still know most of the songs off by heart 😂)
Lissie Hickman Yay horrible histories! They’re so good I know all the songs too my favourite is the monarchs song (Also I can’t quite tell but I think your icon is missy from dr who which is rad)
Now I wish I could afford to go to vidcon! I live not too far away but oof. Super glad you're getting the opportunity, though! If you get the chance to sight see, I highly recommend the "last bookstore". It's a bit chaotic and you'd probably get through it best on crutches but it's so cool! There's also a decent comic book section on the ground floor.
Congratulations Jessica and Claudia. Enjoy it :) Really enjoyed the random naming of things, the cooking video and the use of the drone. Really excellent different camera work gave your videos that extra dazzle. Cute couple moments in the videos we’re heart melting. Enjoyed seeing the conversations between you and Claudia through the content delivery. You’re a great team but you can still carry your own (obviously) on solo videos too. Also yes to Infinity War (spoilers so stop reading this) Spider-Man, devastated me, the others hurt but not as attached to them as Spider-Man. The relief on Scarlet Witches face was sad too. The acting! Finally, depressingly Gomorrah. Then happily, Captain Marvel to the rescue! Don’t know if I can mentally handle the wait to Infinity War 2.
We have something similar to fun chips in the US!!! They’re called Veggie Straws ☺️ they’re gluten free! You can get some when you come to visit us during vidcon! They’re sold in just about every supermarket...
"The Constant Princess" is my favourite Philippa Gregory book! It was the first one I read of hers. "The Queens Fool" is brilliant too. But please please read the constant princess xx
I think it's so cool that you read the White Queen, the Red Queen, and the Lady of the Rivers. My thesis class for medieval history was an entire semester of those books and comparing them to the medieval history. We also looked at how authors in general interpret history and make it interesting (especially when we know how it ends). We even got to interview Philippa Gregory!
I too have wimpy wrists. I have hypermobile EDS, which is worst in my wrists, so I cannot open doors for myself. I can cheat with push doors by using my back. My neck is also severely affected, so I can't grow out my hair. It makes me appreciate the work people, like you, put into their hair.
Congrats on the VidCon news! I hope you have a wonderful time and that the heat isn't too intense! It's a dry heat in LA, and it'll sap your energy super quick.
Congratulations on the very exciting news that you are coming to LA! 🙂 I am sad because I will not be able to see you since I cannot travel.😞 I totally relate to being really obsessive! It was very fun to hear you talk about your progression of obsessions! Spice Girls lol! (I saw this video the day it came out, and it took me this long to desperately reevaluate whether I can travel or not to come see you!) *Edited for punctuation
Hang on. If you are deaf (I saw your sign language). I have my respects for you. My parents are deaf and me myself am not deaf, allthough I’ve got a bit of bad hearing. I totally respect you. Greetings from Sweden and Turkey. 🇸🇪 🇹🇷 Peace!
Oh my gosh! I am so excited! I am now going to try and make it JUST to see you! I have never wanted to go but now I have a reason! That’s so amazing that they are supporting you!!!
Oh. History books. My wife is a medical historian and she collects Victorian medical books. Our house is 1950s vintage and 1800’s medical books. We are a strange old lot. I’m going to read ALL of those books. EDIT: I have hypermobility in my left knee, right shoulder and my left hip. You’re certainly not alone!
I have found two great brands of shoes for EDS hypermobility etc they are Ramarim shoes and Frankie4. Frankie4 are Australian but ship internationally and are seriously worth the cost. Both are so worth it.
I was obsessed with historical fiction and Philippa Gregory in high school and university. It set off my love of history so much that I am now in graduate school studying medieval British women’s history 😂😂
I'm the same! So glad you're not into k-pop...life is miserable being obsessive and being into k-pop 😭 it's a never ending struggle. And I'm so happy that you enjoyed Malaysia!
You are absolutely adorable! I’m so happy to hear that you are coming to the USA! I’m relatively new to your channel, but you manage to make me smile with your amazing videos each and every time! Hope you have a good time at VidCon.
I knew you were coming to the U.S.A. but I didn't know exactly where. So your coming to the City of Angels 😎 With your love of cinema you will be in heaven 😍 And yes I did vote for you 🤗 When is all this takening place? Love all your videos of Malaysia but my favorite we're simply u and Claudia just being so happy 😍 it just made me smile 😄 I wish Claudia could see herself thru your eyes ( and see how very beautiful she is )😍
Wanted to add a shoe suggestion, as I understand you can get them in the UK. After years of problems (plantar faciitis , blown valves due to clotting issues, and RSD/CRPS), I saw an adorable pair of shoes on the Barking Dog Shoes blog and I had to have them. Alegria shoes are amazing for people with foot pain and other issues. For instance, I don't have a dropped foot, but my ankle in my left leg is pretty much useless as a joint. Imagine walking with a foot that doesn't bend! Anyway, I love your videos, and wanted to share one of MY (many, many) obsessions because it might be good for your feet!
Oooh! Those books sound so interesting! Historical fiction is so lovely... I'd have to say my favorite thing this month was my new friend! She and I met in my English class and we've grow pretty close!
For the first time ever I'm actually really upset that I can't go to Vidcon. Out of all the CZcamsrs I watch and enjoy, you're the one I wish I could meet the most.
Omg, I'm the same way-- I get "into" things to the point where those things become like... 90% of my life. When I was little I'd go through "phases" (I also had a Spice Girls phase! :P) and I'm still the same way, although there are a handful of things that have stuck with me for my entire life. I recently found out (at the ripe old age of 26...) that I have Asperger's, so that's probably why I latch onto things the way I do. MEDIEVAL/RENAISSANCE HISTORY IS MY ABSOLUTE JAM! I wish I had friends to talk to about it! This video made me so happy, haha.
My favorite thing was my favorite show, Brooklyn Nine Nine, being cancelled... and then 30 hours later getting picked up by another network that LOVES the show! So happy!!!
Never have I related more to someone than when you were talking about your obsessions haha! (Buffy was definitely one of mine although my “person” was Willow🔮🙃). Congrats on Vidcon!!!!! Wish I could be there but will be with you in spirit;) P.s. I would personally love to hear you talk about books btw😉xxx
1. I think you can get air dried sweet potato slices or beetroot slices from Tesco! I know they used to do them but I ate too many so we don’t get them any more 👀 2. OH MY GOD I CAN’T BELIEVE THEY DID THAT!! I couldn’t go and see it so my friend spent about two hours telling me what happened moment by moment, and it was like I was there (which was both kind and impressive) and OH MY GOD! It’s kind of a master stroke in terms of storytelling because superhero movies are very formulaic in the whole -bad guy vs good guy, good guy wins thing. But gah! I’m not sure I’m even up to watching it because I can’t watch the sweet summer child that is Tom Holland’s Spidey go through that.
This video just feels like the story of my 2014 xD I've been obsessed with Plantagenet history, which morphed into being a bit of a Richard III fan, ever since!
Love history especially tudors!! Phillipa Gregory is an amazing author. Not read white princess, must get that. I can talk Tudor history every day all day!
Haha. I love you saying "stoked". I don't know if it's the accent or the vintage style but it's a charming sort of clash when you say it. I don't have hypermobility issues but I do have a fickle nerve in one leg. I can wear flats or six inch heels but anything between 3-5 inches is days of painful throbbing. If I wear 1-2 inch heels it feels like I've implanted a vibrating alarm in my left leg. I'm wearing either granny or dominatrix for dress shoes, not much in between.
I really love your videos!💙💙 I'm stuck in my 30 square meter apartment because I have had surgery on my foot so I have this ANOYNG platformshoe on for 6 vecks. So now my knee is getting wobbly and I look like a fricking penguin when I walk! So I really really appreciate your videos because I'm so bord 😅😅
i’m the exact same!!! i get so obsessed with things, it’s slightly worrying! i too love and are obsessed with history and historical fiction. another amazing book by philippa gregory is 3 sisters, 3 queens. it’s about margaret tudor, mary tudor & katherine of aragon. it’s probably my favourite book by philippa gregory by far 💘💘💘

*THE NO SPOILERS POST*
Thank you for watching! Let me know the best things that happened to you this month.
Who is excited about my big news (again, sorry it’s not a baby) and who will be there in person???
SO EXCITED FOR THIS!!
I love that you will be coming to America!! I live on the east coast so I won't be able to meet you in LA. :( I live in Atlanta GA. Boo....wishing I lived in LA right now
Jessica Kellgren-Fozard no!!! I love on the east coast of the states :-( hope you have a wonderful time in LA!!!
Jessica Kellgren-Fozard wahhh I can't go TT
Yay!
You could be a booktuber! At least part time. I'd love the occasional book reviews along with your regular videos.
Faith and Buffy had the hots for each other and no one can convince me otherwise
My thoughts always
i would looooooooove a vid that's just you talking about/reviewing books ahhhh
*THE ALL OF THE SPOILERS POST*
So, that happened. Talk to me people! How are we feeling after Infinity War and what do we think will happen next?!
Oh god infinity was was emotionally devastating I was left sobbing for the last half an hour
ha ha ha, I so get being hyped after IW!
Strange definitely has a plan. He swore he wouldn't give up the Time stone for Tony and Peter's lives but as soon as he's seen the future he's willing to...? Certainly a plan in motion there! I have an uncomfortable feeling that since all of the original Avengers are left there will be some kind of life-swap to bring the new ones back. I hope not though!
AhHHH I saw it last night and loved it!! Who is your favorite super hero???
Omg IW was so awesome and such a rollercoaster! But they can't be dead, how can Tchalla be dead if they have announced that there will be another Black Panther film?! I just can't wait for may next year aaah so excited!!
I was shocked at how many people *cough* dint make it. But I loved the bubble gun scene. And in Black Panther I loved his sister and how much of a nerd she was. She was like the Tony stark of Wombie (sp?)
"I was never a pink child, but I became a pink adult" I relate to that to the fullest
That was such a lovely video! I’m twelve and have hyper mobility too, it mainly manifests itself in my knees but also my ankles and hips. I do physiotherapy and wear a knee brace and some days it hurts so much. I have to say you’re my inspiration, the way you look on the bright side and are so positive even on a bad day is the type of person I aspire to be. Thank you so much for making my day when you post!
Thank you so much lovely ♥️ I’m really glad I can help you through my videos. You sound like you’re a pretty amazing person so I hope we get to meet one day xxx
Hang in there sweetness, you are never alone and there is a spoonie community to support you online wherever you are xxxxxx
Hang in there kiddo. You'll get there ;)
...and at least these days we have so many ways to channel all our awesome even on no mobility days.
Im from a family of hyper moblie people mostly the girls and we all exersize really reguraly some of us can only manage yoga on the dayle and others are real gym bunnies when i was younger i was compleatly broken by my hyper moblity i was left out pf so much simply because it wasnt worth the risk if trying to run with the other children i didnt get moving till i was in my late teans other then physio then i started yoga and then after a few years the gym start slowly but get moving build more mussel around your problem aireas the sooner the better and then you will come into less problems as you age
What worked in Malaysia vlogs: A lot of things! But especially Jessica's voice overs (sooo lovely voice) and the scrapbook style.
I loved to read when I was younger and I read tons of books. I also really liked historical fictions or just, really old books so it was historical to me even though it wasn't when it was written.

But I really miss the long epic stories that I used to read growing up and in my teens. I hope I'll be able to read again like that one day!
My favorite April thing is.....you and Claudia!! I’m serious, no BS.
The freshness, the positivity, the humor!!
"when I was young it was Postman Pat"
So I should bloody well think!! She may be obsessive but she is not void of great taste!
Classic Pat of course. Not that abomination they've destroyed it down to for the new generation. ;)
There is a reason I am currently the owner of my second pet of a black and white cat...
Congrats on being noticed and valued by the CZcamsy powers that be, I'm glad people the big wigs with influence have seen how remarkably wonderful you are and see that LA needs some Jessica&Claudia. Yay! 😘😂 #ProudAF
Everyone needs a daily dose of you guys xxxxxx
I have an obsessive personality too. I don't go halfway. If I get into something, I go in all the way.
Myself as well, nice to know I am not the only one!
Oh yes, let's talk Plantagenets and Tudors and English history forever
That jumper was so perfect! And you looked like a 50's cheerleader I love it
*OMG I'VE NEVER BEEN SO UPSET ABOUT MISSING VIDCON!!* 😭 *I'M SO HAPPY THEY'VE INVITED YOU THOUGH* 😀❤! *I love that they have recgonized you and the wonderfulness you put out!!*
Sorry that you're feeling a bit poo today...
I would have to say that my favourite thing this month would have to be...you! :P

That braid hairdo is so pretty on you!
Thank you! x
My favorite of this month was prom I'm boyfriend picked me up out my wheelchair and it was amazing and I'm so glad you are coming to vidcon ❤
I didn't come for the books, but I am most definitely going to check out everyone single of of them xD
I actually really enjoyed the whole Malaysian vlog series! The drone shots, the panoramic shots, the cute stop-motion shots, the fun chatty bits... everything was just lovely. And of course, the energy from you and Claud was just essential to any of those videos.

I got engaged! So I get that’s my fave of the month!
*guess

Not even a little at the edges of the cover which I could never seem to protect- AND THEY'RE CLEAN (by that I mean I can't see any imperfections as in they look totally new, no dirt, no plastic protection, nothing)
I'm totally here for the books and I love Philippa Gregory.
You are always stunningly gorgeous, but something about the lighting and your clothes and makeup in the beginning and end of this video just absolutely blew me away with how incredible you look! I especially love when you smile - it’s contagious!
That is one camouflaged, extremely chill dog.
👋🏻 crappy ligaments, crappy muscles and crappy nerves! Crappy heart lungs and kidneys too! Plus I’m a chronic cluster head just to make things even more interesting, like I didn’t have enough severe chronic pain prior to its arrival! My favourite thing this month was my husband dying my hair blue and my awesome son being awesome!
My favorite thing this month is your channel. I discovered your channel this month and I am loving it! Being American I loved your use of the word ”Stoked” also 😁
I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!! 💕 i feel like just yesterday you hit 10k subs and now you're nearly at 250k and GOING TO VIDCON 😱🎉
The obsessive personality is sooo relatable!! I literally do the exact same thing
Great taste on being a fan of Eliza Dushku! Angel is a fantastic series!
I’ve been dying to find a new book to read! I’m here for the books❤️
I’m obsessive like you, I don’t feel alone in the crazy joy of it. Also books! Yayayayayayayay.
Ooh, thanks, I've wondered about those! I love the Tudors, plantagenets and, oddly, anything to do with Versailles. Thank you for the recommendation. Xxx

DieAlteistwiederda ME TOO!
My favourite thing this month was getting the Harry Potter Hogwarts Mystery game. ❤️
Chloe Wrigley i have some serious issues with it but I’m
Still obsessed with playing it. 😂
In march, my cousin and I went to the Banyos de Coamo in Coamo, Puerto Rico. They are hot pools. One is hot and the other is warm. It was very relaxing and soothing.
Thank you for once again brightening my day with your amazing outlook on life.🙂 you never fail to bring a smile to my face .
Your content is so wholesome and you should make and talk about whatever content you choose, particularly about things that really excite you.
My favourite thing this month was finding your channel
1. You are the most precious.
2. I haven't watched ALL of your Malaysia videos, but my favorite one so far was the haul video. The teddy bear's commentary made me laugh really hard.
3. I've read "The Other Boleyn Girl," and I loved it, but I haven't read any other Philippa Gregory - I'll have to check out her other books!
4. I AM DECEASED FROM INFINITY WAR OH MY GOSH. I literally cried so hard I left the theatre with snot on my shirt. After the movie was over, my boyfriend just sat there and held me (it was incredibly sweet of him), and once I stopped bawling, I immediately texted everyone I knew who'd seen it. We saw it opening weekend, and I'm still not over it.
5. I also have a very obsessive personality. It's SO. REAL.
CLAUDIA’S MATERNITY WHAT
Once Upon A Fangirl and why is no one else mentioning this!!! Jessica we need answers lovie!!
Oh I wish I could Jessica! Congratulations well done! Maybe you could do a British event? Vintage tea party? 🤣👍🏻
I will 100% one day host a vintage tea party meet up in the U.K.!
Jessica Kellgren-Fozard oh fabulous I’ll put my name down now! Oh ps I was watching your Vlogmas when I was sewing Christmas decorations the other day! Really enjoyed it! 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻☺️
Jessica Kellgren-Fozard you should do a vintage tea party in every country in the U.K. (like one in England, one in Ireland, one in Scotland and one in wales) bc honestly I’d love to meet you but it’s quite a trek down to England if you only did one
That would be so much fun! But I live in the US :(
August Pritchett you can go to vidcon in U S A
I spent two years obsessed with historical fiction. Especially Philippa Gregory. Its the main reason I am studying History in uni now.
Not sure if you know but they filmed some of the White Queen and the White princess in Sudeley Castle in Winchcombe, Cheltenham. Which is where I used to work and I used to help out with craft services because I ran the visitor centre cafe. If you havent yet I would highly recommend that you visit, the Tudor history there is very well presented, Anne Bolynn stayed there many times and it is the burial place of Queen Katheryn Parr.
OMG, Phillippa is MY QUEEN! I love her stuff. I didn't know there was a new one!
I just want to say thank you Jessica. You inspire me to keep going. Today I got diagnosed with two chronic illnesses in addition to the one I already have. One of them isn’t that severe, but it comes with hyper mobility.
I live in LA but will be unable to go to Vidcon. But I do hope you and Claud enjoy yourselves here. And I hope you get to meet up with the Besame Cosmetics people who are based in the area. I cannot wait for the vlogs. I'm so excited for you!
I completely relate re: buying new shoes for comfort! I have flat feet so shoes need to have an arch to them, and it makes buying new shoes a big pain. (I also have really long and thin feet, so usually when I buy shoes they fit me lengthwise but are too wide :(
My favorite thing this month is I finally got around to cleaning my room after a long while, and it was really painful bc chronic pain but I feel a lot better having gotten it done!
I'm super excited for you to go to vidcon! I can't go but I will live vicariously through the people that'll see you and support you!
I love Philippa Gregory! Started reading her books when I was 14, and now you reminded me why I should pick up some more :)
"So stoked" 😂 You're so adorable omg
Love love love Philippa Gregory! I got sucked into her books by The Other Boleyn Girl and currently have an entire shelf of her books. If you haven't read it, you totally should! There's a whole bunch that follow King Henry's mad reign and they're all so good!!
I'm with you Jessica. I have Hyper-mobile Elhers Danlos Syndrome. so all sorts of joint issues. that and other chronic illness. watching your videos helps me feel less alone and like I can actually do the things and when I can sometimes it's okay. cause hey she understands too. Jessica gets it. thank you for being amazing.
I definitely resonate with the "doing lots and then being unable to do life after". Chronic pain all over (osteoarthritis, hypermobility, surgery scarring etc).
Ohhh soo nice to hear about other people being obsessed with things, I'm totally the same! 😀 And Buffy!! 😍😍
NO Infinity Wars spoilers, kiddos seeing it later today and I will accidentally spoiler it so I'm staying away from all spoilers!
Also, the best parts of the Malaysia videos for me are the ones where Claude and you are all sweet...its always inspiring the little bits of love that are off guard, the beaches looked amazing and the shopping! I'm upset I live in NY not Cali and I won't get to see you! Enjoy America, pay no attention to our politics or news channels if you wanna stay calm and sane ! All the love, happy you both made it home ok!!!
I absolutely love history, (I want to be a Historian when I'm older!) my favourite period of history is definitely the tudors and I am new to Philippa Gregory, I've just started reading the white queen and can't wait to read more! My childhood was entirely made up of horrible histories (both the books and the TV series - in fact I still know most of the songs off by heart 😂)
Yes yes yes to Horrible Histories! 💫
Lissie Hickman Yay horrible histories! They’re so good I know all the songs too my favourite is the monarchs song
(Also I can’t quite tell but I think your icon is missy from dr who which is rad)
MISSY
Now I wish I could afford to go to vidcon! I live not too far away but oof. Super glad you're getting the opportunity, though! If you get the chance to sight see, I highly recommend the "last bookstore". It's a bit chaotic and you'd probably get through it best on crutches but it's so cool! There's also a decent comic book section on the ground floor.
Same with buffy! Every Christmas my family bought me books so I still have a huge collection of buffy books (and the magazines!). Good taste 😉
Congratulations Jessica and Claudia. Enjoy it :)
Really enjoyed the random naming of things, the cooking video and the use of the drone. Really excellent different camera work gave your videos that extra dazzle. Cute couple moments in the videos we’re heart melting. Enjoyed seeing the conversations between you and Claudia through the content delivery. You’re a great team but you can still carry your own (obviously) on solo videos too.
Also yes to Infinity War (spoilers so stop reading this) Spider-Man, devastated me, the others hurt but not as attached to them as Spider-Man. The relief on Scarlet Witches face was sad too. The acting! Finally, depressingly Gomorrah. Then happily, Captain Marvel to the rescue! Don’t know if I can mentally handle the wait to Infinity War 2.
RE: INFINITY WAR
PLEASE WE NEED A SUPPORT GROUP
Omgg
We have something similar to fun chips in the US!!! They’re called Veggie Straws ☺️ they’re gluten free! You can get some when you come to visit us during vidcon! They’re sold in just about every supermarket...
Nit Wanheda We have them in Canada too.
"The Constant Princess" is my favourite Philippa Gregory book! It was the first one I read of hers. "The Queens Fool" is brilliant too. But please please read the constant princess xx
I think it's so cool that you read the White Queen, the Red Queen, and the Lady of the Rivers. My thesis class for medieval history was an entire semester of those books and comparing them to the medieval history. We also looked at how authors in general interpret history and make it interesting (especially when we know how it ends). We even got to interview Philippa Gregory!
Spice Girls! ❤️. Also, favorite thing this month was having my parents come visit. 😊
I too have wimpy wrists. I have hypermobile EDS, which is worst in my wrists, so I cannot open doors for myself. I can cheat with push doors by using my back. My neck is also severely affected, so I can't grow out my hair. It makes me appreciate the work people, like you, put into their hair.
By the way I loved the JC sweater!! Looked so cute with the pettie coat!!
Congrats on the VidCon news! I hope you have a wonderful time and that the heat isn't too intense! It's a dry heat in LA, and it'll sap your energy super quick.
Congratulations on the very exciting news that you are coming to LA! 🙂 I am sad because I will not be able to see you since I cannot travel.😞 I totally relate to being really obsessive! It was very fun to hear you talk about your progression of obsessions! Spice Girls lol! (I saw this video the day it came out, and it took me this long to desperately reevaluate whether I can travel or not to come see you!)
*Edited for punctuation
Hang on. If you are deaf (I saw your sign language). I have my respects for you. My parents are deaf and me myself am not deaf, allthough I’ve got a bit of bad hearing. I totally respect you. Greetings from Sweden and Turkey. 🇸🇪 🇹🇷 Peace!
Oh my gosh! I am so excited! I am now going to try and make it JUST to see you! I have never wanted to go but now I have a reason! That’s so amazing that they are supporting you!!!
Oh. History books.
My wife is a medical historian and she collects Victorian medical books. Our house is 1950s vintage and 1800’s medical books. We are a strange old lot.
I’m going to read ALL of those books.
EDIT: I have hypermobility in my left knee, right shoulder and my left hip. You’re certainly not alone!
I have found two great brands of shoes for EDS hypermobility etc they are Ramarim shoes and Frankie4. Frankie4 are Australian but ship internationally and are seriously worth the cost. Both are so worth it.
I was obsessed with historical fiction and Philippa Gregory in high school and university. It set off my love of history so much that I am now in graduate school studying medieval British women’s history 😂😂
I'm the same! So glad you're not into k-pop...life is miserable being obsessive and being into k-pop 😭 it's a never ending struggle. And I'm so happy that you enjoyed Malaysia!
Your wife looks kind of like a Malaysian Eliza. Thats cute. :)
😏... I know...
You are absolutely adorable! I’m so happy to hear that you are coming to the USA! I’m relatively new to your channel, but you manage to make me smile with your amazing videos each and every time! Hope you have a good time at VidCon.
I knew you were coming to the U.S.A. but I didn't know exactly where. So your coming to the City of Angels 😎 With your love of cinema you will be in heaven 😍 And yes I did vote for you 🤗 When is all this takening place? Love all your videos of Malaysia but my favorite we're simply u and Claudia just being so happy 😍 it just made me smile 😄 I wish Claudia could see herself thru your eyes ( and see how very beautiful she is )😍
Wanted to add a shoe suggestion, as I understand you can get them in the UK. After years of problems (plantar faciitis , blown valves due to clotting issues, and RSD/CRPS), I saw an adorable pair of shoes on the Barking Dog Shoes blog and I had to have them. Alegria shoes are amazing for people with foot pain and other issues. For instance, I don't have a dropped foot, but my ankle in my left leg is pretty much useless as a joint. Imagine walking with a foot that doesn't bend!
Anyway, I love your videos, and wanted to share one of MY (many, many) obsessions because it might be good for your feet!
Yay cool! Vidcon! I can't wait for this for you!
Oooh! Those books sound so interesting! Historical fiction is so lovely... I'd have to say my favorite thing this month was my new friend! She and I met in my English class and we've grow pretty close!
For the first time ever I'm actually really upset that I can't go to Vidcon. Out of all the CZcamsrs I watch and enjoy, you're the one I wish I could meet the most.
One of my fave things this past month was books books and more books. My obsession is books and the buying of them
Omg, I'm the same way-- I get "into" things to the point where those things become like... 90% of my life. When I was little I'd go through "phases" (I also had a Spice Girls phase! :P) and I'm still the same way, although there are a handful of things that have stuck with me for my entire life. I recently found out (at the ripe old age of 26...) that I have Asperger's, so that's probably why I latch onto things the way I do.
MEDIEVAL/RENAISSANCE HISTORY IS MY ABSOLUTE JAM! I wish I had friends to talk to about it! This video made me so happy, haha.
OMG I'M SO GLAD YOU TALKED ABOUT YOUR OBSESSION WITH BOOKS JESSICA
"Tend to REALLY get into something" HMMMMMM....I couldn't tell. 😂❤️
My favorite thing was my favorite show, Brooklyn Nine Nine, being cancelled... and then 30 hours later getting picked up by another network that LOVES the show! So happy!!!
Never have I related more to someone than when you were talking about your obsessions haha! (Buffy was definitely one of mine although my “person” was Willow🔮🙃). Congrats on Vidcon!!!!! Wish I could be there but will be with you in spirit;) P.s. I would personally love to hear you talk about books btw😉xxx
1. I think you can get air dried sweet potato slices or beetroot slices from Tesco! I know they used to do them but I ate too many so we don’t get them any more 👀
2. OH MY GOD I CAN’T BELIEVE THEY DID THAT!!
I couldn’t go and see it so my friend spent about two hours telling me what happened moment by moment, and it was like I was there (which was both kind and impressive) and OH MY GOD!
It’s kind of a master stroke in terms of storytelling because superhero movies are very formulaic in the whole -bad guy vs good guy, good guy wins thing. But gah!
I’m not sure I’m even up to watching it because I can’t watch the sweet summer child that is Tom Holland’s Spidey go through that.
Good Luck at -suprize-! I hope you have the most amazing time !~
This video just feels like the story of my 2014 xD I've been obsessed with Plantagenet history, which morphed into being a bit of a Richard III fan, ever since!
Love history especially tudors!! Phillipa Gregory is an amazing author. Not read white princess, must get that. I can talk Tudor history every day all day!
Haha. I love you saying "stoked". I don't know if it's the accent or the vintage style but it's a charming sort of clash when you say it. I don't have hypermobility issues but I do have a fickle nerve in one leg. I can wear flats or six inch heels but anything between 3-5 inches is days of painful throbbing. If I wear 1-2 inch heels it feels like I've implanted a vibrating alarm in my left leg. I'm wearing either granny or dominatrix for dress shoes, not much in between.
I really love your videos!💙💙
I'm stuck in my 30 square meter apartment because I have had surgery on my foot so I have this ANOYNG platformshoe on for 6 vecks.
So now my knee is getting wobbly and I look like a fricking penguin when I walk!
So I really really appreciate your videos because I'm so bord 😅😅
Once you get into Buffy it never really leaves you.
Also I would love you to do some book reviews!
i’m the exact same!!! i get so obsessed with things, it’s slightly worrying! i too love and are obsessed with history and historical fiction. another amazing book by philippa gregory is 3 sisters, 3 queens. it’s about margaret tudor, mary tudor & katherine of aragon. it’s probably my favourite book by philippa gregory by far 💘💘💘
Amazing news!!! ❤️
