I love luxury in small bites.
Nothing gets my heart racing quite like a good lipstick, but I also have to keep myself in check and know when to say no.
I hope my videos are a fun space for you to sit back, relax, and where we can chat like long-time friends about our favourite things and life. Let's have some fun.

A dream trip in the Greek Peloponnese.

My love letter to Greece. This is probably the most precious video to me yet!
It's been a whirlwind past few months, but after spending three weeks in the Greek Peloponnese, I've had some time to rest and reflect on what matters the most in life.
I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed making it.

One of the biggest consequences of going on a beauty low buy this year was channelling that chaotic shopping energy into giving my teeny weeny bathroom a makeover. It was quite the mission. Here's how it turned out. Towards the end of the video, I also give you my thoughts on how my low buy went this year as well as some new goals for 2024.

Calling all shopping addicts: Get cosy for some real talk...and a bit of tough love. While it's nice to take advantage of sales for items you've long-wanted, it's very easy to get sucked into the hype surrounding heavily discounted items you'd never before considered, which often results in overspending and having regret later. As I'm in the process of recovering from my own shopping addiction,...

Omg!! I was thinking about you recently and missing your videos. I'm so glad to see you're back with a video that looks so exciting and beautiful. Can't wait to watch it!! Hope you're well💕
Aww it's so lovely to hear from you again, Natalia! I really hope you enjoy watching and that you're doing well, too. More videos coming soon! 💕
You always come back when we need an eye cleanse 😭❤️
I have missed you all! ❤️
Thank you for taking me along with you on the vacation I deserved <3
Thanks so much for joining me here, Ivy! 💕
"Walking" off the gelato. Ahuh. 😏
All to the tunes of Peaches, honey. 💃😎
Oh this was a lovely upload! 😊 Thank you!
Thank you so much! I appreciate you watching it. ❤
Your vlogs are so aesthetically pleasing! Always happy to have new videos from you!
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed watching it. Always so nice to hear from you! ❤
Loved your vlog - it looked like a wonderful holiday! This is the exactly my husband and my next trip to greece next year, with the addition of Monemvasia... and a tonne of ancient ruins and museums. Last year we visited Nafplio which was so lovely and I enjoyed seeing your footage as it reminded me of our trip. My husband watched it with me and we felt your pain the day before you left. Always so depressing leaving. More so for us as we are from Greece and used to live in Athens before migrating over to Sydney. x
Hi Kim! Ahhhh how exciting that you and your husband are going back for a holiday to Greece next year. Do you visit home often? It's funny you mention Monemvasia as that was originally on my itinerary as I was planning this trip, but we unfortunately didn't make it this time around. Nafplio was one of our favourite places that we visited as well as Limeni and Areopoli. So gorgeous! Oh, it was SO hard to leave. Normally I feel relatively okay when a trip has inevitably come to an end, but I felt SUCH a sense of dread leaving Greece as it felt so wonderful being there. The scenery, the food, the relaxed and friendly nature of the people, it was all paradise for us. ❤
So good to see you again. This video was beyond delightful and reignited my own memories of my visits to Greece. Such a beautiful country on every level. Thanks for sharing! 👍🏾😃Deb
Hi Deb! So lovely to hear from you, as always. Isn't Greece just so beautiful? I fell in love with it. Thank you so much for watching, and I hope you're doing well! ❤
I enjoyed yr video so much! I love the silver drop earrings you wore. May I know where they are from?❤
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! The silver drop earrings are from Massimo Dutti. I bought them a few months ago and they've since sold out, but they might pop up again! ❤
So beautiful! Enjoy! My husband is half Greek on his father's side. He remembers visiting his grandfather in Athens and picking lemons off the tree in the back yard. All the best to you!
Thanks so much, Janet! It was my first time visiting the country and we created some beautiful memories there. I fell in love with it and would absolutely love to go back one day!
Wow, what a wonderful travel vlog. Enjoyed this so much, the scenery, the music selection, cinematography and the FOOD!! Thank you for sharing and I've been missing your videos so was thrilled to see a new one from you.
Thank you so much, Klara! That means so much. I'm really happy to hear you enjoyed it. I finally have a few weeks off from work, so I plan to post more videos over the next month or so. It's so nice to hear from you again! 💕
It's Bebe 💕💖
Hi!! The last few months have been rough, but I now have a few weeks off from work so plan to film some videos 💕 How are you?
I just finished your lovely video Brittany & you looked so beautiful in it. It looked so serene and I hope you found joy in your travels...those sunsets!! And croissants!! My favorite food...besides olives 🫒 and wine 🍷😁 I have missed you so much bebe!! Since you last posted I got Covid AGAIN!! Was sick for five weeks... don't know where May went 🤔 also I lost my cat Carrie B two weeks ago just 10 days before her 17th birthday 😞 Plus it has been really hot & dry here. Just waiting for Autumn 🍁🍂 which is my favorite season plus I get to go on a little vacation to celebrate my anniversary 🥂 Haven't bought much lately but a really nice travel set from Tatcha & the newish Chanel Jardin Imaginaire blush/highlight duo in Berry 🩷 Sorry I just about wrote a book but we have so much to catch up on!! Love you bebe 💕💖🥰
@@pinksparkle258 Thank you so much babe! The sunsets were glorious - they really forced me to be in the moment. ❤ I have missed you and our chats too! We are twins as I also had Covid since last posting (my third time getting it, too) -- it was BRUTAL! And I'm SO sorry to hear about Carrie B. That's just heartbreaking! Sending hugs! 😥🤗 💕 Like you, I also HATE the summer heat. I absolutely despise sweating and being hot makes me so lethargic and grouchy. Winter and autumn are my favourite seasons! Where are you going for your anniversary? Oooh you have done well girl! Those purchases sound amazing. That Chanel blush and highlight duo is right up your alley. I ended up purchasing the Byredo Mineralscapes palette (right after I blabbed on and on about not being fussed by it) and I also bought a Valentino blush and Fenty lipstick. No regrets as I loooveeee it all, hehe. 😘
I got used to a 2-step cleansing (oil/balm + face wash), but then your cleansing alone is a bunch of products 😅
Haha, I'm relieved to say that my skincare routine has simplified a LOT since filming this video. 😂
As a Biologique Recherche Expert for over 20 years, I found so many red flags in your video I am saddened by your review. One of the biggest flags is that you have rosacea and yet have tried ALL the serums in the BR line. The most foundational rule of BR is hyperpersonalization and with your specific issues most of these serums would never be recommended by a trained BR professional. It is critical that if you are reviewing a product it must be formulated for your individual requirements. I hope your viewers are informed enough to realize the limitations of your review. Please stay in your individual lane when it comes to Reviews if you are using your experience as the guide.
Hi, the products I tried over the years were after several in-person consultations with BR specialists. Please consider this before leaving such a comment on my channel.
@@bornblushingif that is the case I don’t understand why you would have tried “every” serum and products that were never intended for a Rosacea skin. I am just looking for transparency in your attempt to represent the brand’s efficacy.
What a fantastic vlog! The editing, imagery and your commentary is perfection. My kind of travel video.
Thank you so much! I’m currently in Greece and am vlogging the trip so hope to finally post a video once I’m back! 💕 Thank you so much for watching and I’m glad you enjoyed it ❤️
Miss your videos 😢
Hi! I miss posting them and connecting with you all 😭 I always think to do it but struggle to find the time. I’m currently away and am filming the trip so plan to post once I’m back! 💕
Beautiful!
Thank you, Gypsy! 💕
The most satisfying declutter video ever and the final chapter where it all came together perfectly. Can't wait to see more from you and your channel.
Thank you so much, Klara! I am so glad you enjoyed this and my other bathroom video, too. I hope to post videos again very soon. I really appreciate you commenting!
yes, please do the last declutter. I enjoy those because that's when the true opinions on products over time come out. Everyone raves and loves new shiny gifts, purchases, etc but it's the declutter videos that truly show the honest onions on what has real merit in usage and keeping.
Yes! It's so true - declutter videos are where the truth finally comes out!
Got2b eyebrow gel will keep the most stubborn eyebrows in place and it’s only 8 USD. Thank you I love your videos and especially a declutter/ swatch video. Your voice is very relaxing as well. I personally don’t care for chaotic rushed videos.
Quite a few people have recommended that one by Got2B! I should try that one next. I'm still using that mini one by Benefit but it's on its last legs! Thank you so much for watching.
Oh, I so can! I just bought two more rings. But, in a sense, it was a need. I have rings that I can size them, but it compromises them. I can't wear them in summer because my hands are so swollen. I also just bought a Chanel liner in Eros because I needed a sparkly red and Sisley stick shadow in Black Rose. Now, I do have reds and blacks, but not like these. I also didn't buy in excess. Just those two things. The same way I bought the two rings. Now, my hack is to take stock of what I already have. I NEED nothing else at the moment. Maybe just some shirts, but they don't have the style I want, so that will wait a bit. My other hack is I don't buy in excess like aforementioned. That way, I can have nice things, but my nice things don't have me. I believe that luxury makeup, hair and skin care are an investment in myself. But, I buy these things wisely and the products have to work or I feel like I'm just paying for brand names.
I totally agree that luxury beauty products are an investment in yourself! It’s easy to get carried away but having only what you use is definitely ideal and ultimately more satisfying. Thank you so much for watching and commenting 💕
Love the final organizer ❤
Thank you! It was such a worthwhile investment! 💕
Please post a video I miss your videos 😢
Oh my goodness, I am just seeing this now! Thanks so much for your message. I really want to post a video soon - it’s always on my mind. 💕 I hope to post at least within the next couple of weeks! I hope you’re doing well 😘
Appreciate this video 😊🌸 Honestly to spend $300+ on a cleansing balm that gets rinsed down the drain or shower is a waste of money in my opinion.
I do agree! I love my luxury products and think a good cleanser is worthwhile, but it has to show some benefits beyond cleansing the skin for it to be a fair investment. Thanks for watching!
Been very helpful . I am a lot like you .. but atleast you use them .. i buy and hoard .. which is seriously crazy ! And these r sooo expensive 😄
Totally relatable for so many of us! Thank you for watching and leaving a comment!
Hi there, new sub here. The twist blushes are made to be light so they can be taken in your purse. They arent supposed to be heavy :)
Hi! Thank you for being here :) Yes, I still love that blush! I appreciate how light it is now, especially for travel. It’s one of my favourite shades too!
@@bornblushingi don't have the shade passion and now that you reviewed it I am going to buy Passion , it look great!
@@drmann9886 I hope you love it as much as I do! 💕
You need eighth day skincare. From what I know about it - it would really help you.
Thank you so much, Britney. I've learned a lot about skin care from your videos. And your skin looks so youth and smooth and shining, a dream of any women! I just have one question about the steps to apply the La Mer Oil and the Infused Lotion, I hope you can help me to figure out how to apply these beautiful products: I don't know which step to apply the La Mer Infused Lotion and the La Mer Oil among these ones: The Treatment Lotion, The Genaissance Infused Lotion, The Genaissaine Serum, The Concentrate, The Renewal Oil, and The Moisturizer. Could you please recommend me how to apply them? Thank you so much.
Hi Liên! I'm so glad you've found my videos helpful. You have some really beautiful products! So in terms of the order to apply them, I would do something like this: 1. Treatment Lotion OR Genaissance Infused Lotion (I find these perform a similar function, so no need to use both. Maybe opt one for the morning and one for the evening? I apply these directly after cleaning and toning). 2. Genaissance Serum and/or The Concentrate 3. If you're applying the Renewal Oil separately from the cream (I usually combine the two together), then I'd apply the oil first and then the cream! The cream is always the final layer, especially since it is so thick :) I hope this helps!
@@bornblushing - Thank you so much. You are so considerate. ❤️ That's a very smart and time-saving way to use them all. Thanks again. Looking forward to seeing your next videos. 🤗🤗
Hi beautiful! I came across and wanted to ask if you are still using the same La Mer products? I use mostly Sisley. And I too have rosacea, but more than your skin. Wondering, if you have tried Sisley brand and your thoughts on it. Also, what foundation, concealer you are wearing her (if your remember) Thank you.
Hi Sarah! Thanks for watching. I still use La Mer's original cream at night -- I can't be without it! I mix it with a drop of Sisley's Black Rose Oil and it's divine. Unfortunately, I couldn't justify repurchasing the other products, as much as I love them, and they've reformulated The Tonic since this video, which is a shame as I LOVED that texture and formula! I haven't tried the new one but I heard it's very similar to The Treatment Lotion in terms of viscosity. For rosacea, I found their Genaissance Infused Lotion to be fantastic. Love Sisley! My favourites are their Velvet Sleeping Mask and Black Rose Oil. I believe in this video I was wearing Sisley's Cushion Foundation! And the concealer is the one by Cle de Peau. Hope this helps!
Might as well be naked
AAAAAAH! A Brittany video that I missed! I'm glad RUclips brought my attention to this. ❤ "She could smell my weakness on me" 😂Those sales people are predators! You have the perfect lips for lip swatches. It's no wonder it's hard for you to resist those colors! I think "Dune Kiss" was my favorite on you, but all of them (even the concealer lip with the darker lip liner) looked spectacular on you.
They really know how to get to us! She was so fun and nice. Thank you! I absolutely love Dune Kiss as well. It's such a nuanced shade! Thanks for always watching, Stephanie! I'm glad RUclips brought your attention to this video! ❤
@@bornblushing I am too!
I was so happy to see another video from you, they always make my day!! I always love hearing your thoughts and it was also so fun seeing your new skincare routine, I definitely can relate to wanting to simplify my routine more and more (also did BR for a while and it was exhausting at times!). Your routine looks so lovely & it's so great that you already know the brands that work for you and know that you can rely on them, I feel like the moment I think a brand is perfect for me it stops working, so right now I'm testing and trying to figure out my skincare routine which is a bit annoying😅. I've mainly been using Agent Nateur & the Pavise sunscreen I think I told you about before, if you like a super simple routine this one is so great in the mornings because I can literally just use that & a mist. Also, congratulations on keeping your shopping addiction under control, I unfortunately, have been going a bit crazy with the shopping lately so this video was very good for me, I loved when you said "I am going to make sure it lasts", it really resonated with me because it's so easy to say "I hope..." because it's like you are leaving the responsibility to someone else, but really one has to remember that you do have a choice and you do have the ability to spend your money in a more conscious way, of course, for some of us it might take a bit of more time and effort but we can do it, you are living proof of that haha. Thank you for sharing, hope you're well!💕 P.S. Your new pink chair looks fabulous!
Hi Natalia! Your comments always make MY day. Love your simple morning routine! My routine is also very simple. Have you ever used Sunday Riley’s Good Genes? I just visited my mum and she uses it, so I tried it and I love it! I’ll likely purchase it when I finish my current bottle of P50. Thank you! Oh trust me, if I can do it, you can definitely do it too! For so long it felt like a part of me that I couldn’t control or have any hold of. It’s wild to think about. The pink chair is so cool, hey? I love seeing it whenever I come home! I hope you’re keeping well, Natalia! Chat soon 💕
@@bornblushing Thank you! No, I haven't tried the Good Genes product, I remember wanting to try it years ago and I did try quite a few products from Sunday Riley but not that one. I'm so glad you and your mom love it, it'll definitely be on my wishlist now, I also want to try out their eye cream. Yes, I totally agree! The desire to shop can sometimes feel like something completely uncontrollable, I definitely need to apply the "out of sight, out of mind" because that has made me a little bit crazy with my shopping right now😓. But I'm so happy that you've managed to control that and also that the things that you do get (like the chair) or your lamp which is also so beautiful are things that really do bring joy to your day. Hope you're well and that you have a lovely week! 💕
@@nataliar163 Do let me know if you try it! Oh I know, it’s SO hard. Believe me, I understand! It can really just dominate all thoughts and feelings. But you’ve got this girl! We are in it together 💕
@@bornblushing I will, thank you!! We definitely are!!💕
What a beautiful episode, Brittany! I'm definitely guilty of purchasing things just because they make me happy and not because they fit in my life at the time. I do feel like the more I just live life and get off the internet, the more content I am with my life and what I have. The marketing psychology doesn't get to me and I dont want things. I see progress in myself from January 2023 in myself and I definitely see it in you! 💕 The 6 identical lipsticks are very comical and relateable too! ☺💄
So glad you enjoyed it! You're so right about just living life and getting offline. It's a great way to gain perspective and have a bit of a reality check! The online world really is filled with such fantasy, which can be great as an escape but it's also a slippery slope. I'm so happy to hear that you see progress in yourself from a year ago! I feel like we are on this journey together 💕 And I couldn't believe my eyes when editing regarding the nude lipsticks -- all I could do is shake my head!
Loved this one as usual! Your videos are so lovely Brittany. I really enjoy your approach to beauty and your thoughtfulness. There was a lot here I can relate to 😅
Thank you so much! I’m so glad that you can connect with me here through my videos. It does make me feel less crazy. And so nice to hear from you again! 💕
Hahah I also feel less crazy watching your videos and connecting here. It can be so hard managing a genuine interest and appreciation for beauty, more considerate consumption, and the pitfalls of advertisement and late stage capitalism 🫠 I find I go between anxiety fuelled overconsumption (to distract myself) and complete disinterest when the low mood strikes. I hope you are doing well. I am going through a period of being really burned out myself so I’m wishing you lots of rest and recuperation 💕 looking forward to your next video whenever you feel like/ have time to post (no pressure) ☺️
@FeriDOS-my6tg I’m so sorry for my late reply to this - I’m only just seeing it now! Yes, I definitely relate to the highs and lows of spending episodes. I hope you’re managing to rest and take care of yourself as well. Thank you so much for your kind words. I hope to post a video soon 💕
5 nightly products is a ton in my book 😅 I consider putting on my avenoo moisturizer as a good skin care night haha
Ha! Maybe one day I’ll get to your level of minimalism in my skincare 😉
I actually watched this the second I saw it in my feed, but had to come back to comment. I am the same way about baths! I keep trying to like them, but they just kind of stress me out. I end up showering before the bath just so I don't feel like I'm sitting in dirt. But then I feel like I need to shower again once the bath is done to get rid of any soap residue. I always end up more exhausted than I was before it all began. The fact that the term "limbic capitalism" even exists is shocking. And the idea of how shopping is an acceptable form of addiction because it's "constructive" in the sense of building the economy isn't surprising, but it's a little scary. It sounds like you're really finding your groove when it comes to healing your relationship with shopping. It's amazing what burnout can do. ;-) I hope you're managing to find balance in other areas of your life, too. I'm glad to hear that your insomnia is a little better too. Thank you for the reminder that small changes can make a noticeable difference.
Yeah, baths are still a very strange concept to me. It LOOKS like it would be more relaxing than what it actually is. I did take a shower immediately after being in the tub! Yeah, limbic capitalism is so predatory! It’s not surprising but definitely unsettling. I really do feel like I’m *finally* making progress towards “recovering” from this addiction. It makes me look back and wonder what the heck I was thinking for so long! It’s funny how issues that feel so complex often have such simple solutions that can help. Thanks for watching and leaving such great comments, Stephanie! 💕
The insence sounds so lovely. I love Oribe so much. I saw the price! I don’t mind it if worth it. How many sticks are included? Thank you for another wonderful video ❤
It’s SO nice. I got mine on sale from the hair salon I go to, so I paid around $41 CAD. I’d pay full price, though! It comes with 50 reeds. Thank you for being here! 💕
Fantastic video and definitely needed this message ❤ thanks for the great content once again!
Thanks so much for watching and for your kind words, Shelby! 💕
When you said the excitement poofs into thin air, it made me think of the bubbles in the bath! 😂😮 I’m trying really hard not to beat myself up for my over-purchasing over the past couple of years. I just discovered makeup, and I had to try lots of things to figure out what worked for me and what I like. Now I know, and now I know better. I also had absolutely no sense of how long it would take to use up a skincare or cosmetic product. I guess I thought I would be using up each thing within a few weeks! Again, now I know better and I will not be making the same mistakes in the future!
Poof! 🛁 It’s so true! That’s the trouble when first getting into makeup and skincare, I find. It’s an expensive and tedious journey to getting to find what you ACTUALLY like, and once you do find those things, you’re already kinda hooked on the rush of getting new things - at least, that’s what happened to me! I totally feel you. It’s great you’re aware and are not judging yourself harshly! All we can do is improve. And most of us have definitely been there! 💕
I agree with everything u mentioned about the shopping addiction. As MUA for CHANEl for so many years, I’ve been privy to so many beautiful products. I’ve used La Mer for 15 years, when I’ve stopped, I always go back because it works for me. Happy to c u paired down ur skincare routine, and I agree. As I’ve gotten older , I realize what makeup, skincare work for me so I don’t fall into the newest product trap anymore. And u become more aware of what makes u feel good and what’s just a waste. Things will never love u back! Stay on course, u got this❤
Hi Yvonne! Thanks so much for your kind words. Yes, I feel like once we know what works for us, there really is not much point venturing outside of that just for the sake of trying something new. I can’t see myself stopping La Mer unless I absolutely have to! It’s the best - thankfully a tub lasts for a good while. Thanks so much for your support! Love having you here 💕
Will always support u. ❤
I love your videos! I need to take this message to heart. I know I shop more when I’m overwhelmed with my kids and may have less sleep. I find myself endlessly scrolling to zone out and relax but that’s not relaxing at all. Then that adds to a long list of desires. When I finally give in to the desires they’re so disappointing because I’ve already curated a makeup and skincare collection I already enjoy. It’s a never ending cycle. Your video was perfect timing. I think I need to declutter and restart a no buy and truly stick to it. I need to find better relaxing habits that I can do to replace my “shopping research”.
I totally feel you on this! I used to always shop when feeling overwhelmed as well as it was my favourite way to self-soothe, but really it provided an initial burst of enjoyment and excitement but didn’t cure my problems. I’d also feel like there was always something better out there that I was missing out on when really, like you, I know what I like! Thanks so much for watching, Maya! Love chatting with ya 💕
OMG you are a grad girly, me too!! i'm sorry but i get excited about any research related topics😭. Tbh i never took baths, it disgust me, showering and letting water hit my face is my way of relaxing. Btw your face look insanely beautiful in the thumbnail ❤️❤️ and your taste in furniture is amazing, it makes me happy seeing some colorful pieces especially with all these bland white beige houses. I'll try the "out of sight, out of mind" thing and unfollow some pages 🤭
Grad girlies unite! 💕 It was nice to research something that I feel quite passionate about and have years of first-hand experience with. It was like being the researcher and participant at the same time! Baths are a pretty weird concept to me as well. Before the one I filmed for this video, I think I hadn’t been in a bath for years. Steamy showers are definitely where it’s at! I want to try experimenting with shower bombs (I think that’s what they’re called - they release a nice scent in the shower). Thank you! I love that pink chair. I agree that white beige houses are just NOT it. Out of sight and out of mind is crushingly simple but it seems to really work. The harder part is finding a replacement for what fills in that space. Working full time and studying for my grad degree kept me so insanely busy this semester that it was perhaps a blessing in disguise, leaving me without energy to even shop. Always love chatting with you girl! 💕
@@bornblushing I will be waiting for your review on shower bombs! To me when the semester load is pretty overwhelming i shop even MORE😭 Good luck on your study❤️❤️ I do love chatting with you 🫶
@hadeelalghwairy I totally get that as I did that as well! And I’ll keep you updated if I find any good shower products! 💕
This was very interesting! I recently read an article in Vox about Ozempic - that talked about how the drug might be used for all sorts of addiction by effecting dopamine levels. It makes sense that addiction to shopping, food, tv, etc. are all related. Thanks for sharing your journey!
Yes! Addictions really function in the same way and it’s startling how some addictions are stigmatized far more than others. Dopamine really is such a beast! Now I need to make sure I’m not totally glued to my TV every night. 😂 Thanks for being here, Allison!
I have missed you bebe!! 💞💞 Glad to have you back...I feel like I just had a therapy session 😊
I have missed you too bebe! I plan to be back here more often when I can. I have missed our chats here! 💕 How have you been?
@@bornblushing oh I have been fine. I used somewhat restraint during the recent Sephora sale. I set a budget & stuck to it...even after some new Guerlain was released after I placed my order. Normally I would have placed a second (or third) order 🤣 I thought of you when the new Byredo eye palette was released!! 🥰❤️
@pinksparkle258 Good on you! Did you get some pink lippies? 💕 Guerlain has come out with some lovely products lately. I was waiting for Byredo to release their palette and was shocked at how I felt nothing when seeing it… everyone else seems to adore it, so I’m sure I’m the one missing out!
@@bornblushing I did!! I splurged on Prada in Fuxia (bright Fuchsia) a Charlotte Tilbury in Rose To Fame and a Makeup by Mario in Broadway (cool pink) 💖
@@pinksparkle258 Love your picks! Prada’s beauty line seems amazing. 😍
I seem to only take bathes when necessary (aka achy). The last time was in a deep outdoor tub in the forest but there were actually too many bubbles for me. I started having to scoop them out lol. But it definitely sounds less fun to have them disappear as quickly as the heat in yours! Knotted headbands are the bubble headbands for 2024 🥰. Where is yours from? Love the magnetic spoon on the cleanser. Brilliant. Is it your fav brand, above Augustinus as well? I was just thinking an oil cleanser would be perfect to use with a facial massage tool 😂. Omg my first time using P50 I wiped it across my face and the BURN, holy sh*t lol! Does the La Mer body oil balm leave a silky sheen on your legs? I came across a Nuxe one that does and I love the look& feel, but the scent isn’t for me. Applying hair oil at night sounds fun, will try that too 🤪. One of my biggest dilemmas is the time/energy exchanged for something. Unless it’s truly justified (most of the time it’s not) the cost of time is far greater a sacrifice vs money. And sometimes the realization of the time wasted debating propels me to buying so I can stop thinking about it 😂. Or, more ideally, simply forgetting about it. I wish we didn’t have to reach burnout to have life epiphanies but I’m glad you were able to choose a topic for research that resonated so much to deepen your current life goals 😊. Thank you for sharing your insights and experiences as well. It gives us wonderful bits to reflect on as well for ourselves. Finding our own inner spark is so true and really resonated with me. I also appreciate that you highlighted finding the joy in the smaller moments bc in my similar newfound apathy it has been the smaller things that I find contentment in. And it also explains why I have felt less social - I am seeking the spark of joy w/in first! Another great video as always, can’t wait for the next!! P.S. what will you do with the other skincare goodies in your collection? Use them up intermittently?
Your forest tub experience sounds glorious! I have bubble envy. 😉 I can’t remember the brand of the knotted headband! I got it from a skincare boutique as a way to reach the free shipping threshold at the time. It was just a cheapo one. The magnetic spoon is such a nice design feature! I did enjoy the Augustinus Bader cleansing balm but didn’t feel the need to repurchase it. I love the Furtuna Skin one SO much! Best cleansing balm I’ve tried to date. 😍 The P50 available in the US is much stronger than the versions we have here in Canada. I can just imagine the burn! The La Mer Body Balm leaves such a sexy sheen on your skin! I love it even more than the body cream. It feels like a lovely weekly treatment. I just use a cheaper body lotion on other days now. Always love your comments! 💕
Yes, the time and energy we exchange for a thing has been a huge focal point for me lately! You’re right that it’s a shame in that resentment and burnout are the catalysts that got me there - but I suppose it had to happen eventually! And yeah, decision fatigue is also another big factor that plays in. It’s amazing how much it can weigh on our minds! But I’m also so proud of the progress you have made! We’ve got this 💕
We will find our inner spark. I think we are talking about and reflecting on the right things to get us there. I also feel it takes phases of deep apathy and lowness to reach that point. I actually don’t have much else in my skincare arsenal right now! I have my SPF, a daytime serum that I use as a layer between cleansing and sunscreen, and a serum that I only use as a spot treatment for breakouts. It feels so much better to have a more concise skincare regime finally! I so appreciate your long and thoughtful comments! 💕
I love your videos. keep them coming :)
Thank you so much! This makes me happy to hear 💕
Came here for the skincare advice. Stayed for the pro-mental health, anti-capitalism takedown. 👏🏻
Thanks for being here, bebe! 😘
Finally proving my exes right that I'm dead inside 🫣🤣
I’d like to think I’d never give them that satisfaction, but… 🤫
Memory card full. How rude. 😂
SO rewd. The sigh that was sighed…
Thank you for this healthier way of managing your makeup collection. I’m so sick of beauty RUclipsrs using their job as an excuse to hoard and waste cosmetics.
Thank you so much for watching, Janette!
