Winx & Ink | Cosy Reading Night & Readathon Vlogs @WinxInk | Uploaded October 2017 | Updated October 2024, 36 minutes ago.
A few weeks of super-stress had me in great need of an epic self-care weekend, and the online bookish community did not let me down!
Friday, October 20, was the day of Cosy Reading Night. This seasonal readathon is hosted by Lauren from Lauren and the Books: youtube.com/channel/UCUeIitiPOwLjwnGVeEKOfXA
Then Saturday brought with it Dewey's 24-Hour Readathon! This has been a favorite of mine for the past couple years. :)
For both days, I pulled out all the cozy stops! There were squishy pillows, fuzzy blankets, furry friends, amazing reads, and a large selection of comfort foods.
Did you all participate? Do you have a favorite readathon? Can you deal with how often I say "um" and "uh" in these? Let me know in the comments! :P
Also, true fact: editing this video made me realize how badly I needed a haircut. The problem has now been resolved, Great Clips-style.

![POTS 101 | Chronic Illness & Spoonie Pride [CC]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/tA_kSkq2sZE/hqdefault.jpg "POTS 101 | Chronic Illness & Spoonie Pride [CC]
This video is an introductory look at POTS: what it is, what symptoms it causes, and a few tips for managing those symptoms. :)
Since the last time I posted an update on my health journey, I received another diagnosis: POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome).
You may have heard me mention POTS in a previous video.. because I thought wed ruled it out! Turns out we just needed to look closer. POTS is very common in folks with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, so my wonderful medical team was ready with knowledge and treatments to help me out!
