I wanted to share how introversion has negatively impacted my life, this is just one way of many unfortunately. As an over 40 Gen X introvert that is quite private and takes time to warm to new people I am often perceived as a snob, a bully or a bitch.

Decluttering - Toxic Relationships

Hi Everyone, I wanted to share a thought on clearing mental space by reducing exposure or eliminating relationships with people that rob you of your confidence and self esteem, not supporting you or the vision that you have for your life. Even us over 40's are not immune to falling victim to the perceptions that others have of us.

Hopefully, you did the investment gain vs. mortgage interest calculation. (As in you make 10 percent on investments vs. pay 4 percent on your mortgage.)
I like it without the extender, it looses its sleekness with the extender. The mirror is a nice touch! Did your friend like his with all the extras?
I would love to see behind the double doors. The black color is a nice accent it probably gives the room a bigger feel. Nice tour
Nice unboxing you were very thorough and live the pros and cons from your perspective and lifestyle. I’m curious How did your develop your lifestyle and style? You seem very knowledgeable and confident in your style since you encourage everyone to find their own style.
It’s a classic!
I appreciate your honesty I think for me I know there are certain people who just want to put me down but then there are situations where I project my negative perspective. I automatically think they are judging me and which they may or not true but either way I do feel not good enough so i tend to distance myself then find myself alone. I tend to get along better with males because I find I don’t have a lot of interest in what women are discussing, I’m not into shopping, latest trends, shoes bags jewelry etc. but like you I’m very blessed and happy with my life overall.❤
I want to try them all but I’m in the states 😕 you make great eye contact and your delivery is very appealing another well done video!
@@gerrikim8545 thank you! More videos to come in 2025!
You have great taste I love the pj and I’m so happy you got great deals on all your purchases. I can’t wait to see/hear all about your international travels next year! Great video ❤
@@gerrikim8545 thank you, I am so excited. I can’t wait! 2025 is going to be a great year for all of us!!
Beautiful bag. I'm debating right now whether I should get this or not. I already bought xmas present for myself. BTW, could you tell me where you purchase your shoes?
@@3864ist it is a beautiful bag, I’ve had to stop myself from buying another one! Oh those shoes are Sandler, I got them from David Jones. They are so comfortable!
I look forward to it.
That would be awesome and I hope you achieve all of them!
@@gerrikim8545 thank you!
I would love to hear about your Pilates instructor journey. It’s so popular right now and many people are interested in trying it but who may not have thought of going in that direction. Great video! I agree I’m different different environments but hanna for point your that is because we feel safe and relaxed. I thought there was something fake about me. Thanks for the clarification 😊
@@gerrikim8545 I should do a video about that, I’ve thought about it. Maybe once I’ve finished the last part of the course I will. No you’re not fake, I think that when we feel safe and supported our personalities come through. But honestly the only time I feel truly myself is when I’m in my own.
*yutulu* Beautiful collection!
Best *yutulu* collection I've ever seen
Thank you for this video! I loved it because i have felt the same way on so many points you shared. I was in a similar situation where I need to find my niche for an endeavor I was pursing and I just couldn’t find it so I can understand your frustration. Unlike me I really do believe you will find yours because you are bravely transparent and persistent. I wish I had some pointers but what I do have is encouragement. I really enjoy your videos and your style and your ability to communicate. I think the more you posts the clarity the freedom & passion will open up doors for you. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
@@gerrikim8545 thank you so much for your kind comments and encouragement!! It means more than you know 😘
Wow the list seems amazing and ambitious to me. Some of those things can be time consuming and may need to be spread over time I believe. Kudos to you ! This is definitely starting 2025 afresh! 😊
@@gerrikim8545 yes it is a little ambitious, I’m hoping to post a video this weekend of my progress so far, stay tuned 📺
I love the idea of having a 1 kind of wrapping paper for all occasions. I have snippets of various sizes of wrapping paper that I save but end up as clutter and all wrinkled. Im going to use up the bows that I bought last year and if I need it, I will purchase one or two as opposed to a pre packed ones that I don’t end up needing. Thanks for these great tips 👍🏻
@@gerrikim8545 I will generally purchase a large roll of wire edge ribbon that is suitable for most occasions and make my own bows. Once my gifts are wrapped I will send you a photo 😀

Yes you are! You came up on my feed and I subscribed right away so I think you just need to be persistent so that the algorithm will pick you up.
@@gerrikim8545 thank you for your words of encouragement, for watching and subscribing, it means the world to me ❤️
Omg I feel you. Thanks for sharing and being who you are. I’m glad I’m not alone because your expressed my thoughts. It’s frustrating and challenging to be around so many extroverts all the time. I hope you feel supported and appreciated as you move through this ❤
@@gerrikim8545 thank you so much! No you’re not alone. I know, extroverts are so exhausting…. I’m so glad this video resonated with you. ❤️
Yes the color of the *amzrepe* is beautiful and it is a great decision, maybe one day they will add feet and straps. It would be nice to have a bigger bag during the colder months when we have to store gloves, beanies, scarves, etc…
I subscribed because I really want to become more financially responsible in the next year (I've started from December, to be more accountable by January 1st!). Regarding things to stop or reduce buying, I can definitely go without fragrances and makeup because I've renovated all my routine two months ago and my new products will last me through the whole year. Also, deciding to go plastic-free in my bathroom made a huge difference because I don't fall madly in love with hair and body product bottles anymore and their solid alternatives last a long time. I can't believe how much I've saved in shampoo, shower gels and conditioners. Now my next challenge is buying groceries with a fixed budget, so that I'm more careful about individual prices of products and considering options, confronting prices and so on. Thanks for your company!
@@silviac6929 starting in December is a great idea! It will put you ahead of the game come January. Well done on making the switch to being plastic free! Good for your pocket and the environment. I’m so glad you enjoyed this video, seems like a lot of people are wanting to become more financially responsible. So I will make more videos like this and we can support each other on our journeys. May I ask how old you are? I’m just curious and I may be able to offer some ideas more geared toward you.
Those silly (often expensive) Christmas crackers with the tatty trinkets in them. Pure rubbish destined for landfill.
Love this video Marianna!! Very helpful! Keep up the fantastic content!! 🙏 🤩
@@donnasidey thank you so much! I’m glad you found it helpful. It seems that with the higher cost of living people are looking at easy ways to cut some spending.
The little things really build up. Especially if it is a lot of little things, haha. And define "little". A coffee these days is like € 6. A bottle of laundry detergent is € 18. A movie ticket is € 15. I save a lot of money buy switching a bit more to drugstore makeup and I have certainly not bought any expensive palettes anymore, or anything else I don't use that much. I switched laundry detergent with wash strips I order online. Much lighter too. I also don't buy clothes in store cause they don't refund. I can order a dress online, wear it a bit with the tag on, see if I actually like it, then return it. Has saved me so much. Being more critical about everything has helped me so much. Also, selling stuff second hand has earned me four figures at least I bet. I have been wearing the same coat for 20 years. Same boots for 3 years. Good basics in colors that fit me and make me feel great. Clothes that fit with each other. I rarely ever eat out or buy coffee outdoors. And also try to have my parents pay if they can, cause why not.
@@helenarichard it is absolutely the little things, I can’t believe the price of coffee these days! Yes buying branded or luxury makeup brands and beauty products is very expensive, I’m in the process of switching a lot of those items to less expensive brands and they work just as well. Yes I am also learning that if someone offers to pay for something for me that its ok to say yes.
I can't wait to be mortgage free! We put as much money as we can towards our mortgage and we should be mortgage free by the time I'm 42 and I'm 35 now. I could probably even speed that up.
@@kellyparsonsflaata9981 well done 42 is a great goal!! I wish I had taken my finances my seriously earlier. I could have potentially been mortgage free by 40, but we live and learn….. keep going in your journey to being mortgage free, you’ve got this!!
This was a really great video! Thanks for sharing.
@@Stephaniee9914 thank you for watching. Glad you liked the video 😀
Love everything you show here! *amzrepe* The crossbody bag really surprised me. I love it!
I don’t miss a day a week *xbagy* This show.
you’re literally my comfort person i love you 😍#Niceshopx😍
@@Niceshopx02 thank you
it sucks when it's people you grew up with. I had a friend with whom I had fun as a kid but when we became adult I noticed he was jealous of me and didn't respect me. Eventually I just distanced myself from him. At work though I had my first experience with a woman whom I believe is a narcissist, well at least her behavior were so bizarre at times that I ended up researching on that subject, quite interesting. She did made me feel like crap for a moment but today I pity her because she's fake, a liar... in the end they're just destroying themselves.
@@drpg4ever823 you are absolutely right about narcissist! They are so destructive but in the end…. Karma will get us all. Sorry that you have bad experiences with people but you will find your crowd and people that deserve you. Thank you for watching my video 😀
if it helps you to improve that's good.that and as long as you have fun making them , I think is the most important thing.
@@drpg4ever823 I do have fun making the videos. I really need to lift my game and keep improving. I want to add value to people’s lives, I want to have a purpose.
Hi everyone, I hope this video encourages you to start your channel or to just keep going . Your perseverance will prevail!
You have a fabulous day too! 😁
@@TaniaN-Guthealthcoach hope you enjoyed this video
Oh that’s terrible Marianna 😢 I find when I’m around strong personalities, I tend to hold back as I feel I can’t get a word in! Although I’m usually fairly friendly to everyone I meet, I’m still a bit shy. I certainly keep quiet in a work environment & I feel I’m considerate to others. I have been labelled a snob too but more in my personal life 😂 If you pay for a course to learn something new, it’s nice to have a bit of fun but I would be extremely annoyed if others were being disruptive. Knowing you, they’re lucky you didn’t tell them to shut up! Listening to your side of the story, it sounds like the apology should be coming from those girls & the instructor! People need to learn to read a situation. If I came across someone giving one word answers & not engaging, I would take that as “she’s not in the mood for a chat” Anyway I’m sorry this has happened to you Marianna. The world just needs to be a little kinder to everyone. We never know what others are going through & we just need to be kind. Thanks for sharing you story 🤗
Credit where its due, the instructor handled it really well and very professionally. He had to address the issue as it had been raised, so I appreciate his situation. I am glad that I am not the only one that gets labeled a snob!
The truth is, these bags were all overpriced. Now that we know they cost a fraction of the sale price and are so poorly made, it’s clear they weren’t worth it. Furthermore, many of these items are knockoffs. There are a lot of knockoffs out there at luxrul knockoffs of such good quality that they’re no longer luxury items.
Hi everyone I hope you find some value in this video and it encourages you to recognize your own value even if others don’t.
*amzrepe* has a discount
I want a classic bag, and my friend recommended *condup* to me. I took a look on it and found that there are many types of bags that can meet my daily needs.
You are so adorable ! I love that you always dress accordingly to what you are sharing! I hope *xbagy* come out with the different color bags again!
Since I couldn't afford genuine products, I've been looking for the perfect bag supplier for the past few years, and on the recommendation of a friend, I found *condup*
Some great advice Marianna 🙌🏻
@@TaniaN-Guthealthcoach thank you! Anything we can do to save money at this time of year…
I hope my latest video inspires you to cross some of those nagging items off your To Do list before the end of 2024.
Thumbs up for the best video ever! Loved it : *amzrepe*
@@BlenderPitek aww thank you! I appreciate that so much!
Thank you for all the amazing ideas especially about the candles
@@MichaelPapalouca I’m so glad you liked the video
Hi I hope you enjoy this video and get some ideas for inexpensive but thoughtful Christmas gifts.
Well done.😊
@@user-tw1ku9ei6g thank you
Amazing *yutulu* collection!
These comments are very interesting because I often buy luxury bags on *condup* .
Nice video!!! Love all your *yutulu* bags。
If you want to find a store that sells luxury bags and the like, I would recommend *condup* every time. Honestly I am very happy with this company.
Honestly, I watch your channel for your style, comments on quality, and of course the *yutulu* bags. I’d love to hear your opinion on gold hardware vs. silver hardware vs. copper etc. on bags and how to style them. Thanks
Your video gave me some new insights. My first designer bag Fendi was in 2022. Louis Vutton was in 2024. In the meantime I use Coach, Torry Burch, Fossil, Tumi. I was surprised to realize that I have about 8 *yutulu* bags and none are over $300. That's not enough by my standards. I'm a working mom and I go to the office everyday. Not to the mall or coffee shop much. So yes, I'm glad I got my dream LV. Two. I also got the Fendi. So I think I'll hold off on buying any other luxury brands to make more use of what I have now. Thanks for the inspiring video.
@@BillBootman760 so glad that you found value in my video!! Definitely use what you already have, better on your pocket and the planet and being a mindful shopper means you only spend money on items you love.
