"I've never done a chatty morning routine before!" This is the
exact same routine we've seen 67,923 times before. The only difference is that she couldn't even be bothered to record narration or add any of the terrible royalty-free music she usually uses, so she just narrates as she goes and we're subjected to the disgusting sounds of her squeezing lotion out of bottles and sloshing water about. Ruby has reached peak laziness.
Ruby gets all defensive about her utterly insane habit of reading while brushing her teeth. "It's only two minutes of reading, but I just really enjoy it!" If you enjoy reading so much, give it your full attention. Covering a book in drool for the sake of 90 seconds' distracted reading does not make you a bookworm. It makes you an idiot.
She makes a point to say that her book about toffs murdering foxes was too precious to risk getting toothpaste on, but The False Rose is fair game. Sorry, Jacob Wegelius, you toiled for months writing that book only for it to be encrusted in dried toothpaste drool.
She's only just finished washing her face and claims to have been awake less than an hour and this is already the
third outfit of the day.
She puts on thick layer of child's suncream to the point that she looks like a circus clown. Can't see her skin colour, but her freckles are magically super visible. Hmm. Not buying it, Rubes.
"I always start my day by making my bed. It makes me feel
so put together."
Yet you couldn't be bothered to adjust the sheets to fit your mattress? Doesn't seem very put together, does it? I've seen crack dens with tidier beds.
"Making my bed has been
so much easier since I got a single bed," she says, in the smuggest tone ever for some reason. If that's the case, get a smaller house, too - your family might be able to keep a single room clean without as much real estate to cover.
"Breakfast." Ruby, even that fucking rabbit would be hungry after this. Stop this shit already.
"The world is
so beautiful at the moment," said the sheltered, privileged little Tory who wants for nothing and has never known struggle or responsibility. Ruby, read the room. The world is an ever-increasing nightmare for so many people right now. Optimism is great, your complete ignorance and lack of basic empathy are not.
Ruby decides to go for a walk after harassing the chickens. Her outfit magically changes from this:
To this:
And her hairstyle looks completely different.
Outfits worn so far: Four.
"It's...a bit past seven...I think it's about quarter past seven."
"I've been able to see the seasons change, and even the way the air tastes is different." That's probably extreme hunger, Ruby. It's what happens when you eat a teaspoon of food and then speedwalk for an hour - you get hungry and lightheaded and start to ramble like a mental patient.
The only signpost she can think of for seasonal changes is her academic studies, and Ruby equates "what's happening in the world" with,
literally, what's happening in her own back yard.
"I'm going to enjoy my walk, be present and be mindful," she says, after setting up a tripod to endlessly ramble at a camera for footage for a routine she's already shown hundreds of times before.
"I dip into my book of poetry while I walk." Nothing says "present and mindful" quite like not paying attention to wear you're walking.
Oh, god, she's doing a poetry reading...
And now she's "mindfully" enjoying her walk and living in the moment by setting the camera down to record herself walking away, inevitably having to come back for it.
"I get so distracted..." Again: Hunger. Eat food. See a doctor.
"There is no such thing as how long you should spend doing something. You should do things because you enjoy doing them, and if that means spending longer on the task to help you enjoy it to a greater extent, then I think we should do that. The most important thing is enjoying everything we do."
This is, quite possibly, the stupidest thing I've heard all year.
If you need longer to complete a task, take longer. Maybe don't rigidly try to fit everything into 30 minute schedule windows like you do, Ruby. But spending longer doing something you don't enjoy won't magically make you enjoy it. Some things aren't there to be enjoyed. It's called "work." You should try it sometime. And it says a lot about you that even the things you think you're supposed to enjoy are considered "tasks."
"If you're writing an essay, you should always spend an extra hour more than you need to make sure you enjoy the process of essay writing."
Ruby pulls out a second breakfast. It looks a bit more like a full breakfast than her usual tiny portions. She also has her "acting" voice on as she makes a point to show how much there is, so we know there's some bullshit going on.
Sure enough, she tears her crumpet into ridiculously tiny pieces, eats a miniscule fraction of it along with a single raspberry, and that's it. Ruby, you're fooling no-one. This shit's blatant.
Also she claims to be eating while writing a letter. Because I know I love getting letters covered in the disgusting remnants of someone's partially-chewed food.
Outfits worn so far: Five.
"Also just realised I haven't put suncream on yet." Umm...you had a thick layer of it on your face in the previous shot, Rubes. See a doctor about memory loss.
Outfits worn so far: Six.
"So, after having the most
mindful morning..."
"Yes, I do change outfits multiple times a day. I change my outfits a lot."
