    AD. As part of an ongoing collaboration with Sky Cinema where I get to review films to recommend each month from their Sky Cinema Club. This month I have gone with A Man Called Otto, starring Tom Hanks. It follows a man called Otto after the sad passing of his wife, but after a new couple move into his neighbourhood, he is challenged to view life differently. It is a heartwarming film about love, loss and life and it proves that family can be found in the most unlikely of places. Also on Sky Cinema this month is Maggie Moore and Dungeons & Dragons: Honour Among Thieves which comes to Sky Cinema on the 18th August. As always please let me know what you think of A Man Called Otto, and if you have any suggestions of films for me to watch please put them in the comments below.

    When I cut back lavender I leave it in bunches on the paving nearby for the bees to carry on enjoying for a while longer.

    I appreciate your approach to "sustainability" and minimalism. It is really refreshing. Often I find both side to be exasperating.

  • @bonnieolson80
    @bonnieolson80 Год назад +7

    I would love a demo of “ lavender pruning”….your kitty’s conversational voice is so engaging ! Im not informed on the topic of minimalism, but in my “ minimal “ observation when it comes to shopping for quality clothing it seems that exorbitant pricing should be a consideration. I’m old enough to remember being able to afford high end, comfortable, well- made beautiful clothing comparable to what sells today for thousands of $$. Sadly this isnt the average budget now and doesn’t seem to qualify as minimalism, but I probably should study the topic before I offer my opinion! I do love your videos.

    Thank you for raising the point on sustainability, Ali. Building on that, we should also consider our food consumption, especially animal products, and understand its impact on the planet. It's not about starting a debate, but rather raising awareness.

    • @michellewillems4416
      @michellewillems4416 Год назад

      Yes, those flatulent animals need to be replaced with myriad other foods. That’s just for starters.

  • @Southernbellefla
    @Southernbellefla Год назад +6

    Alie such an important conversation. I love your thoughtfulness. Being deliberate in my decision making in regards to consumption and what impact that will have. Being honest with myself; is this a need or a want? Do I have something or a resource already that I can use? Just being aware makes such a big difference in how you move through the world. But I also am not going to stress myself out about it. Nor am I going to suggest to someone else what they should or should not do. I like your comments on this👍

  • @danadpt2012

    I’ve cut back the lavender in pots but I can’t bring myself to do it on my lavender path as the bees are still loving it. Mine is at the same stage as yours. I was interested to see what you’ve done and I’m pleased I’ve left mine too. 🍃

    LESTRANGE looks like a quality store because it adheres to the old money aesthetic. What I mean by that is their color palette. Navy, cream, and green are the colors of the old money aesthetic. This is what one should strive for. Avoiding bold colors and flashy names cast across a garment. Timeless and classic styles, high quality fabrics.

    First, have you seen Dungeons & Dragons?? I loved it! Second, I agree with the commentator who said, "considered consumerism". Minimalism is such a broad category. To be honest, I immediately think art. Then I think decor. For example, not having much on the walls (art etc), possibly not having a tv, in short having few things in your home - I'm a minimalist in that respect. Having few things could still mean someone has more than they need (depends on a person's needs/how they define need) but perhaps all that they want or all that they "need" not all that they want. I've never connected the term to fashion. I suppose it could mean having very few clothes but that, for me, doesn't mean that the clothes one has are sustainably made or thoughtfully "considered". I'm definitely interested in hearing more from you, and others in the comments, on the topic.

    @mygreycastle_home6847 Год назад

    Ali, I saw the same lavender video! I was going to cut back, but then I saw another video that said to use the bees as a guide. If they are still enjoying it, leave it a big longer. I think they stop using it if it's past its prime. Mine still has loads of bees on it. I will review it in a few weeks 😊 hope it this helps! It helped me as I was slightly confused and unsure what to do.

    That green shirt was 🔥. It looked very nice on you. I have the same thigh issue. More space in the thighs means more space in the waste. I end up wearing thigh huggers 😄
