Frequently Asked Questions:
😇 How old are you? 23
📝 What are you studying? I am set to start my MA in English Literature at Oxford this autumn.
📚What are your favourite books? • 200 book recommendatio...
📚 Do you have a book club? Yes! You can join it here for free: fable.co/club/reading-with-th...
📝 Have you written a book? My life goal is to be a published author and make a living from writing and I am using this year to gain experience, build up a portfolio and work on a book with my agent. I have just finished the final draft of that book, as you can see in this video. I did self-publish a book about bullying when I was seventeen which is available on Amazon (amzn.to/3mdJKLm), but I'm slightly embarrassed by it now!
🎃 Do you have merch? I don't have merch in the traditional sense (I can't imagine selling something with my face or name on haha!), but I do have a stationery company where I sell planners for students. These are all designed with students in mind and follow models which I've used when planning my studying. Our products are printed in pastel colours on recycled paper: bit.ly/3wgsR85
🍵 What's your favourite tea? That's a REALLY hard one, but I think I'd have to say the B&B Chocolate Digestive Tea: bird-and-blend-tea-co.sjv.io/youwilllovethisone (affiliate link)

Can we all agree that ruby is a true comfort CZcamsr 😀
Totally! ❤️
Yes!! She got me through my exams last year. :)
absolutely!! i watch her whenever i have morning anxiety (very often), and she always helps so much❤
Absolutely!
Ofcourse
I am in love with your vlogs. I mean how can someone be romanticizing every day so smoothly!!! I am obsessed. Best of luck for uni! I will surely miss your room and your aesthetic house!
I will miss my room too honestly, but Oxford is beautiful so I can't complain at all!! And thank you so much... we have to romanticise the small things - they're the things that really count x
@@RubyGranger8 Aww! wish I would go to oxford too!
You’re so hardworking, so a reminder that J.K. Rowling had Harry Potter rejected sooo many times before it was published and ended becoming a universal phenomenon. Don’t worry about rejection love 💕 📖
i was in a big 2 year slump from 2021-2023 bc my mental health has gotten so bad, i forgot what it was like to romanticize my everyday life but ur vlogs are really helping me feel that motivation again🥺 i really missed how productive i was before and ur videos feel like a warm welcome back!!
I hope this academic year will bring a great attainment to us.
And I just wanna say, you are on the list of my role models, Ruby. Staying_love your videos from another part of the world ❤
I'm sending so much love your way too - and want to just second your affirmation!
I'm so excited for the university vlogs at Oxford University. Fits perfect into fall season
I didn't know printing out the book like that was a thing! I think it's a great idea. It makes it all the more "real" and helps you get out of the mindset of the writer and into the mindset of the reader. I would love to be in school forever, so I do look forward to your Oxford adventures. But please don't stress / burn yourself out with videos. Give yourself time to adjust and to enjoy it as well.
Hi Ruby. I bought the Academic Planner and I really like. I had an idea for the next one, if you don’t mind. At the beginning of the month we get currently the Weekly overviews, which are very helpful. I think it would be a great idea to add 1 page at the end of the month to review what we did and did not accomplished in the month. I think that it will help with reviewing how we improve our processes to get our work done month to month. Thank you for designing this planner. I really have enjoyed using it.
Best of luck with this new chapter in Oxford Ruby! Funnily enough a good friend of mine has moved to Oxford to do her phD so it feels like a fresh start and exciting new beginnings all round, I hope you have a fabulous time doing your masters
A tip for people who own the Pumpkin Productivity Planner (or any spiral notebook): if the back/front cover is slipping off, weave a ribbon through the rings! It secures the notebook to prevent any of the pages from falling out, plus if you leave some extra ribbon at the end you have a homemade bookmark :)
Probably not a good thing it’s falling apart so quickly after use, have you reported that to the website?
I'm so excited to see you settling into Oxford. Honestly, I feel like Ruby lives an alternate version of my life if I had stayed in England and chosen Literary Arts as a career!
Currently, my hometown Manipur is going through a war . Lots of negative energies. But I'm using ur vlog to calm my mind down. Thank you Ruby❤️
Stay strong!!
@@yunonnelemora9295 I will..
Enjoy Oxford, both the university and your downtime in that beautiful city.
Don't spend all your money in Scripmtum. It has a way of emptying wallets, but one always returns home from there with marvellous stationery.
I look forward to your updates.
Scriptum is great! It has a very different feel to it than many shops so I love to pop in and browse. I feel like Charlie in the chocolate factory there 😂
I’ve said this before but genuinely your videos always come up at the time I need some inspiration! I’ve been having a hard time getting motivated (neurodivergent here 🙋🏻♀️) today and these type of vlogs always help me recalibrate and get moving. Thank You Ruby! ❤️🙏
Good Luck in University
hi from Korea! This really helped me feel better tonight. There's just something about watching someone with passion. It brings back the spark we all had in the beginning of our journey. Hope you have a wonderful day,
I really missed those university vlogs.Finally you're going to Oxford, and i hope you’ll be uploading more University study vlogs...I wish you a happy and productive Masters year.💜💜
Ah I missed them too! I can't wait to start :)
It really feels like I'm also going to Oxford with you.🥹I'm so exited about your masters year.
It is a good thing to print your work and see how it reads while you're holding it. I do this with Amazon's Kindle Publishing program. I have already noticed so many mistakes, but it is a readable text. Smart idea.
I really like to watch ruby’s videos especially in the autumn 🍂 ❤
thank you so much! x
So excited for you, Ruby! Can't wait to see all the Oxford content! Xx
Good luck! I am so glad for you. I've watched you for years now and you continuously amaze me.
Best of luck to you in this new exciting chapter, sweet Ruby! I’m rooting for you ❤️❤️❤️
All the very best, Ruby. Looking forward to hearing about your adventures! X
My bookish heart soars when I watch your content Ruby, thank you so much for all you do and I hope you have an amazing experience studying in the city of dreaming spires ❤xx
Ruby wishing you all the best in School and a very Happy Birthday to your lovely mother. Her cake looked delicious! Have a magical and memorable year! All the best!
God bless you Ruby on this brand new journey! Thank you for sharing your adventures to us! You're so inspiring ❤
This video comes at such a good timing. I will be starting my new job next week and so watching your vlog on a similar theme gives me some courage to walk into my new job with the spirit of excitement. Hope you all the best for your new academic year!
Ruby, I've been following your channel for years, but this is the first time I'm writing a comment to wish you the best in the beginning of this new academic year.
pd: your vlogs are my favorites on youtube 🤩🤩
Wishing you the absolute best at Oxford Ruby, enjoy it and please remember to look after yourself should you feel overwhelmed at any time
Your videos are so cosy and inspiring. Thank you for sharing moments from your life!
Hi Ruby, I love your videos they are such a comfort. You and I are very similar in character. 😊 I’m also studying with Oxford but remotely online and I am loving it. Your academic planner came at the right time for me and it’s helping me get some order in my life. 😊
Iyashikei is a sub-genre of slice of life, portraying characters living out peaceful lives in calming environments, and is intended to have a healing effect on the audience. The word iyashikei could mean "healing type" or just "healing" in Japanese. - Always what I think of when I watch a video! Good luck with the first term of your masters!
Hope everything goes well in Oxford! Looking forward to the new vlogs!!
I hope you lots of fun in your 1st week, and I hope everything is going well! I’m so proud of you and even if some of us don’t comment that often, I’m sure we are always really happy for you!😊 so keep us on track please 🙏 I would love to see a school vlog or studying in the library 📚
Thank you for making these types of videos. I've come across your videos a few days ago and I watch them while studying or doing my homework. Very comforting, your videos are amazing. You've inspired me to write letters, do journaling, and study harder.
Oxford Journey was meant for you 🌸and I can’t wait to see you thrive through it, really enjoying your cozy Vlogs ♥️
I cannot wait for the Oxford vlogs! Sure you will have a wonderful time and you certainly deserve to do so well.

Ruby, your vlogs are like a drug to me , thank you for sharing with us.
I'm starting my final year a high school in just a couple of weeks and defently your videos are some of the thing that inspire me the most ever since I was in eith grade
Hi Ruby. Welcome to Oxford! You'll be here now by the time you read this. Please enjoy your first weeks without feeling you need to film or edit... You have so many fans and your videos are so good that we will be happy to be patient for your next video. We would rather just that you have quality time settling in and exploring and making new friends. x
Looking so so forward to the freshers week vlog! 🤩

Rubyyyyy i just want to say that THANK YOU SO SO MUCH for making these amazing videos! I love how your videos are soooo calming! You deserve soo soo much more! Cant wait for you to have a 100k subscribers
Such a lovely vlog, i am starting my 2nd year at uni today so it is nice to be along side you...also i love the beach in Chichester as my sister went there for uni so lots of great memories there!
I'm excited! I hope you have more than a great academic year.
All the best with your studies in Oxford Ruby! You will do amazingly :)
I always recycle wrapping paper! When you give someone a present they always rip the paper off anyway. Sometimes I even iron it before wrapping it around something else. As for those gift bags, they are so pretty. I often reuse those and even see them come back again to me!
All the best at Oxford Ruby, I hope all goes well for you. 😊
Love your cozy and productive vlogs.
I've been so excited about you coming to Oxford! There's so many hidden treasures here and the surrounding area for you to discover and love, and I'm excited to see that too. I'm hoping you do a moving-in vlog as I'd love to see what kind of place you'll be in 😊
Good luck with the MA. Hope you have a wonderful time in Oxford.
I love your vlogs Ruby!! And I hope all goes well today with the move!! Have fun!!! 😆🍂✨
Good luck with going to Oxford, Ruby! 🎉
Best of luck with the move into uni, I hope you'll have a good time!
I cant wait for the universty vlogs , as well as your book I am so reading that the moment it is published . Good luck❤!
Oh, how I love the idea with cover generator!
16:28 Highland cows are one of my favorite animals! I have a stuffed one, myself.
And I wish you the best of luck at Oxford, Ruby!
so so excited for your oxford vlogs
Happy birthday to your mother and I wish you best of luck at Oxford 💐 (can't wait for the first vlog😎)
happy birthday to your mom and I love your content

Good luck with the move Ruby!
Can't wait to see Oxford Ruby's version!
You make me feel so calm Rubyyy
Please can you do cosy comfy house tour before you head off! Obsessed with your cosy vibes inside of your house
Best luck for the new beginning.
Best of luck at Oxford! Love the Le Weekend
jumper for this video💕
Goodluck for uni! We will follow you the whole way
Best of luck with starting at Oxford ☺️ can’t wait for the vlogs! 🍁
Good luck for your Masters Ruby 💕
I can't wait to see Oxford vlogs! Will you be living in a dorm of sorts or an apartment of your own? Will you have a roommate or single? I'm curious as to what grad students have for living arrangements in the UK and how different the atmosphere is between undergrad and grad school for you.
Tea Tip: (I've been seeing you do this a lot, and I couldn't help but offer my version^^): put the tea-strainer onto the tea pot, put the tea leaves into the strainer, pour water over it into the pot, let it brew for however long it needs, take out the the strainer and throw the leaves away, now just pour pure tea into your mug. I can't help noticing that it makes so much less mess, since you don't have to rinse out the leaves of the pot and don't have to use the strainer with every fresh cup! :))
Ahhh ruby Ilysm you’re so inspiring
Just found out I'll be moving to Oxford in a couple of weeks for work! Can't wait to see the city romanticised so stylistically while I'm living there 😊
Can't wait to see Ruby's new adventures.
All the best for settling in at Oxford! 💜
I was watching your videos ALL morning, so thrilled for new content yay !!!
ah wait that's so lovely!
I can't wait for your back to uni vlog!
Good luck Ruby xx
Hi from Australia! I’m already part way through my last semester of my second year of university. It’s refreshing to remind myself of earlier motivation in the semester, so thank you for your video! I also love your academic planner, I’ve been using it consistently since I got it late in august, the only issue I’ve had with it is the back cover being a bit fragile. Wishing you the best in Oxford!
Motivation at the start of the academic year is just unrivalled honestly! I hope your semester is going well :)
and thank you for purchasing the planner, Claudia - though I'm sorry about the back cover - we're looking at improving this for next year by slightly decreasing the paper quality so that the binding is more secure! x
I had the same issue
@@RubyGranger8 there is something so fresh and exciting about the beginning of the semester. That’s amazing to hear that it’ll be improving again next year, I will definitely be purchasing again!
Can't wait for moving video and uni vlogs 🤩
