This is the highest compliment! That sounds like a perfect Sunday! I'm gonna have to get back out there before it gets too chilly. Thank you for the suggestion! 😊

Oof, I wish I could, I'm not super knowledgeable about skincare. I love Dr. Dray on here. She's a certified dermatologist and always gives affordable recommendations! www.youtube.com/@DrDrayzday

@@kathywinkleman Exciting!! I think it would be a great place to settle down! I’ve been here for most of my life, though, so I think I’m past due for a change. Stay tuned! Hahah

Oooh! Yesssss, I love pesto. Thank you, thank you! ☺️

Oooh! Yes, I love peanut butter AND ciabatta AND focaccia. That would be some *elevated* peanut butter toast. Thank you!

cream cheese, sprouts, chia seeds and cucumber, duh!

@@fion_c ooooh yessss, i used to not like sprouts, but i've come around to them. thank you!

Oh man, it was SO good!

Square Pie Guys for sure!

I’m still thinking about that pizza 🍕

I splurged and got the DJI Pocket 3 🙈

i’m just trying to help normalize normal. i’ve always admired people who live minimally, but that lifestyle can be just as hard to obtain as a “luxurious” lifestyle. i’m sure my apartment looks like the vast majority of apartments out there. we’re just not seeing them because they’re not ✨aesthetic✨. it’s ok to be normal 😅

YES! quality over quantity!

@@OzymandiusStudios thank you! just trying to do my best!

@@RileyThompson-ij5pn thank YOU for joining the conversation 😄 i was listening to a podcast the other day on the topic of consumption and the person brought up “affordability,” as in the affordability of some fast fashion brands and posed the question, “who is it affordable for?” is it affordable for the person making the clothes? what about the people whose water source is being contaminated from the clothing factory? i’ll stop there, though, this comment section is not the place to spiral on this topic 😅😵‍💫

@@tina_is_trying I will never shame people who buy fast fashion or use not so great applications, though. Because not all families have the opportunity to spend £80 per tshirt- some are in poverty and just simply cannot afford even supermarket clothes; which are also fast fashion and cause as much damage. In fact.. every clothing shop on the high street is, sadly, high fashion and not a single one of them causes so much damage from environmental to workers right and child labour. Even worse, the “fancier” places are still high fashion, still pay bad and cause incredible waste and pollution, they just brand their clothing as more expensive because it’s a “high end” shop. But then I look at my friend, who has a little one under the age of 2. Baby clothing is so expensive, as expensive as adult clothing for less material.. she cannot afford to pay £15-20 per single piece of clothing that her child will only wear for 2 months because he’s actively growing. I cannot shame her for buying cheap clothing, when at the end of the day she just does not the financial possibility to pay for clothing that is environmentally good. Even baby clothing, if we think fair wage, least waste and most respectful becomes supremely expensive, and becomes a luxury people simply cannot afford. We shouldn’t life this way. I don’t endorse high fashion, but I will never shame people using it, because I know majority use it as they have no other choice, we made sustainable fashion that lasts a long time too difficult to reach for many people. I take podcasters with a pinch of salt; they make money out of making the podcasts. Often they can be hippocrates too. It’s far easier to afford things when you make more decent-ish money. But at what cost. Running two jobs? Three? It can be unattainable for some, even thinking of making your own clothing and how long THAT takes, most of us just.. Do not have time, when we work 40-60 hours a week just to make ends meet. Then you bring the issue of bullying in countries like America where schools let kids wear normal clothes; and the bullying children get when they don’t fit in because their mama and papa cannot afford the clothing other parents can. In reality it’s such a difficult, and heartbreaking topic. Because we do not make enough money and everything is so expensive, we cannot support sustainable fashion. Because we can’t support sustainable fashion, we buy fast fashion as it’s all we can afford. Because of this, fast fashion causes harm. And because of this, sustainable clothing becomes even *more* expensive and harder to get. And then we have a whole cycle we’re stuck in. And trust me, I’m an artist- I WANT people to get paid fair for the clothing- and in general the creations they make. People should be paid fair wage for a blanket. But when a blanket ends up £300 because it IS fair wage, and we live in a world where everything is so painfully expensive, how can I look down on a person who ends up buying a £8 blanket? Especially when trying to keep themselves warm? To clothe themselves, and their children? It hurts me to see everyone suffer, because that’s what it is currently. I want the world to treat these things better. But right now, especially even more so because cost of living crisis, no one can afford this. So I will never shame or look down on people who buy from Ali, or the big T, or the horrible S that steals designs. I won’t shame people for buying in Primark, or those who buy supermarket clothes. We’re all just trying to do our best, when we don’t have the money to thrive let alone survive. Sorry about my mini rant, I’ve seen those podcasts and they often heavily shame people who buy from those companies etc. and people don’t deserve shame. These days the internet is so toxic and judgemental because it’s behind the screen, they don’t see the reality of it, they don’t see inside the houses of NORMAL, typical people. And it’s heartbreaking. 💔

@@RowanWolf22 thank you so much for bringing this up. no apology needed! i also am not shaming people who are buying fast fashion out of necessity. the podcast i was referring to wasn't either, rather they were criticizing fast-fashion companies and the influencers showing off their hordes of things they don't need. i'm talking about unnecessary purchases. we are buying 5 times as much clothing as we were in the 90s. i'm not perfect, i've been guilty of buying clothing from fast fashion brands (most of the stores we shop at in the US, even the more expensive ones, are fast fashion), but i've been focusing on buying less altogether.

I'm going to be blunt here: even poor people tend to have too many clothes. Also, at least some could get them second hand, hand me downs, ask for a new piece when someone wants to give them a present, etc. You know, some decades ago there was no fast fashion at all and people still managed to get dressed. If the poor only bought what they needed, or not much more, there wouldn't be very many fast fashion stores, just a few, so that this type business wouldn't affect the planet as much as it is doing so nowadays.

@@RowanWolf22 my thoughts exactly! some of the things i see in the “underconsumption” videos are also unattainable. i try to my remind myself that perfect doesn’t exist, but it can be hard to truly take that in when we see so many beautiful homes! mindful consumption is a long game. 😌✨

@@tbs3518 Yes! I’m working on being more mindful of my purchases and not buying things just to buy them.

@@tina_is_tryingvery mindful, very demure

@@alihassemer06 omg YES

Thank you! Gonna keep it forever!

I think it’s been helping!

@@fion_c right?? i definitely need to set an alarm to remember to put it on, though! 😂

@@SpaceDoug404 yes yes yes!

@@alicebrown635 I’m just trying to do the best I can with what I have. 💙

I’ll be holding on to all of it for the foreseeable future!

Interesting, haven’t heard of this before. I’ll have to look into it!

@@UnBesoDeCristal I’m just trying to do my part ❤️

Thank you! ☺️

I don't know why, but I only drink tea out of the blue mugs!

YES! I’ve been trying to be more conscious of my consumption habits. I don’t love the color of the turquoise blue dish set, but they’re not broken, so I’m not buying new ones. It also helps that the sets I would get are way too expensive for my budget 😂😅

Ok, but why do we love specific dishes?? Hahah I forgot to show it in this video, but my favorite bowl to eat out of is a big white one that a roommate left behind 😆

I‘ve been working on finding balance ⚖️😌

🤭 do you also reuse ziplock bags and the produce rubber bands??? Haha

@@tina_is_trying i grew up with my mom who doesnt ever throw things that can be repurposed, and my grandma is about 95 and her basement is filled with small jars, plastic containers, endless amount of rubber bands, Even though she doesnt Even cook anymore.. so if i know there is something in my fridge that i know i wont end up eating (and i dont give away) i feel like it has to stay in the fridge unthil its bad so i then can actually throw it out with good conscience😆 But yeah i have at least 2 drawers with an assortment of plastic bags..

Thank you! ❤

@@tina_is_tryingpleaseee, I’m gonna come steal it from you hahaha

@@bjorkyorke still better than buying a new one…. Hahahah

Yeah! Trying to normalize normal 😆😆😅
