I'm loving this new channel, Sophie! I'm 48, and I've gone from "when are you having kids?" to "you should've had kids" when I'm entirely comfortable with my life choices. Funny how it seems to still be fair game to ask, though. Maybe I really wanted kids and tried for years, but it didn't happen? Imagine being in that position, and having someone berate you for being child-free. Have a great weekend! x
I'm childfree also, I'm 31. I've been fortunate that I've never been pressured to have children, my uncle asked me if I'd likely have children and I said no probably not and my family all accept it. There was a short period of time i was thinking about adoption and i realised it was because my cousin was pregnant with her first which isnt the best reason to have a child I don't think anyone expects me to have children.
It's so bizarre that people question other's decision not have kids. It's such a big thing to take on, no one should be doing it who doesn't whole heartedly want to do it. I think so many of us had bad child hoods because our parents followed the idea that they should have kids rather than questioning whether they actually wanted them.

Exactly! Especially for not going to a grocery store! 😂 I went to Aldi one time only, it’s too far from me and I don’t have time to waste like that. I go where it makes sense in my schedule.
@@mmc9828 Same here. I work at Walmart and shop there. I buy strictly Walmart brand foods, most of which are better than name brand anyway. And cheaper too. (Jan Griffiths).
Being child free is wonderful and I think a lot of people that have them envy you . Kids don’t suit everybody and your life is a happy one without them . Good for you ❤️
We don't have similar lives/lifestyles at all, but that is partially why I enjoy watching your channel and have been subscribed ever since I found your life story drawing video (which I would loooovvve to see more of, btw). I can't imagine attacking someone for what stores they have or haven't shopped at, their very personal decision about children, or anything really. I have stopped watching the amount of RUclips I had several years ago, but I hardly ever miss your videos. You have a lovely personality, and no matter what you talk about or do, it's a joy to watch. Please don't listen to cruel people. Your real subscribers love what you do and who you are!
Please be our ghost hunter 😂 you can also tell us stories you hear from others. You are just such a nice storyteller 🤍 wish you and David a nice evening and an energentic week!
Attacking people for not having children! It is incredibly rude! What if it is distressing for them?! Maybe they want to have them and they cannot! Thank you for the video.
You're so right Daniel (and I hope you heard your shoutout in this video, I love seeing your name here!) You're so right, there is absolutely that judgement and also, the "you'll be alone when you're old" thing, it's very insensitive, especially to a person who wants them but cannot (even because they haven't found a partner etc) xx
Hi Sophie. Great video. I remember you saying you are in marketing. Would you ever consider doing a video on a typical day in your job. Or even a generic video of hints and tips to get into marketing. I'm 21 (again) give or take 20 years-and I'm looking for a change of career. Thanks 😁
Love your new channel so much! I have a different take on the having children question. I think for some women who have children- when they find out that someone doesn’t (some, not all) …. and they see that person traveling or going out to nice dinners or having a more care free life- there is an element of envy. Who knows- maybe they accidentally became pregnant ? are struggling financially with one or more kids? maybe they are not in a good relationship with their partner or are single parents? Then someone without all of the heavy responsibility of parenthood is someone to be envious of. Maybe they didn’t realize they didn’t HAVE to have kids- they just did what they assumed had to be done without much forethought?
E COLI: Update as of 4 hours ago. Food manufacturers are recalling at least 56 types of pre-packed sandwiches, wraps and salads sold in major supermarkets because of possible contamination with E. coli. E. coli bacteria have not been detected in the products, but they are being recalled as a precaution. It is understood these are items containing salad leaves. Retailers involved include Aldi, Asda, Co-op and Morrisons.
Ive learnt over the years never to assume what you consider to be common knowledge actually is common knowledge for everyone because we all grow up and experience different things. I remember Lidl had a phase where I live in Norway too, but no one liked the store so it went away quickly again and was replaced by some other equally affordable store instead that people loved. It was never about the price, it was the layout, the products we love that weren’t there, the parking lot and the everything.
You're so right! It's 100% about being able to find your preferred brands and products I think. Though I did really rate Lidl, I'll for sure go back when I'm next near it! Hugs xx
Hi Sophie and everyone. Indeed, the whole thing about kids is so annoying at times. A point was made though I agree with that I heard on YT. Women have been pressured to do both: work and raise family, without the resources to do so. Then they get shamed for not wanting or not able to have children. Thanks for sharing 😊.
A very happy weekend to you too my friend! David and I have just ordered fish & chips for our dinner via Deliveroo, I cannot wait! My favourite! You're so kind, honestly, I'm very much NOT a snob. But I understand that when you don't know someone and you're watching them, maybe you might assume that (or make any assumption in fact) You have the nicest weekend! Hugs xx
People get threatened or intimidated by others who choose a different lifestyle, they come out with those type of stupid comments as they can't handle someone doing something different.
I had the same problem with bread but I can eat Jason's sourdourgh or Bertinet bakery from waitrose. And only the white ones. And i take digestive enzyme supplements everyday. But yeah i know what you mean about bloating. But honestly these 2 are the best. No problems.
Hi Sophie, thanks so much for showing us your cute bracelets - they give me Barbie vibes and would go so well with your other pink things. You know what the Friday videos remind me of? When you used to do the ones you called Friday Hangouts. Remember that? This is like Friday Hangouts 2.0! 💕
As a german, i love to hear that you enjoyed the food from Lidl. ☺ i found it very interesting to see you discovering it. Usually i discovering new stores though you ☺
I'm really glad you opened this channel to cater for topics that don't fit in the luxury one. I am not much of a commenter, but just came to say hi and that I enjoy these chit chats, very relaxing! 😊❤
It baffles my mind that someone would call you a snob, when you are very very far from being one lol ALSO, I love the bracelets, especially how you purposely had one that says "Balance" on it to remind yourself. That is a great idea that I wanted to try as well!
The reality is that most of the supermarkets including the budget and high end ones will share a lot of suppliers, especially for the non premium, everyday products. Sometimes it's obvious and sometimes you can tell from the recalls. I've also known people working in factories producing food and they're often making much the same product for all the different supermarkets and it'll just be packaged differently.
I’m over here in the unsure if I want kids camp 😅 32 and feel like I need to decide for sure in the next couple of years. Really appreciate you addressing the topic! Thanks for sharing.
Hello my friend! I actually think that's the hardest position to be in, where you're torn between the Yes and the No. I was there for a little while and I came through the other side with a solid decision. Don't stress it!xx
Hi Sophie. Wondering about a brand you've never heard of and saying that out loud is pretty authentic, if you ask me. And I have never known you to be anything else. Concerning Aldi, it opened in Germany when I was a kid and it was a total game changer to low and middle class families who suddenly could afford to eat healthier than before without having a garden. Aldi and Lidl are a staple in a lot of German households nowadays and I am missing them dearly since having emigrated.
I'm going to comment on the e coli. I took Serve Safe several times here in the States and it's pretty much an industry standard for food handling. E coli can be on the surface of a steak and the process of cooking (the heat) will kill it. If you take that same steak and ground it up and make burgers cooking won't kill the e coli as easily. It's been ground into your meat. This is why I always order hamburgers very well done. Hope that helps someone!
I always order my beef, steaks or burgers well done. Many people tell me to order them medium rare but now I am so glad I never listen to them! Thanks for sharing this important tid bit of information! 😊
I've been following the main channel since 2018, and I'm really enjoying this new channel as I just love to hear more about your life and hear your stories, especially about your marketing career!
As far as not having kids, it is tricky teaching to K-2 and telling parents, when they ask, as they always do, you don’t have kids!! Like if you work with little kids, you should have some!!!!💕💕💕💕💫
To me being child free is based on so many circumstances included, but no limited to:death....personal observations,personal experiences,outward observations,impersonal experiences,vast observations,overall impressions,and the list grows by the day,despite being great w nieces and nephews who I adore, still not enough to change my mind,id adopt ,but i also put so much energy into pets,i am an unapologetic dog lover,I fully cater to their fluffy vulnerability
love this video Sophie! you’re an inspiration. Could you do a video on eating out and restaurants in your area or london? Would love your suggestions. 😘😘
Hi Sophie, i love this channel. I think having kids is a big life changing decision and shouldn't be taken lightly. Everyone is different, and our circumstances are different. Sending hugs ❤
Hi Sophie ! Really happy that you mentioned me in your video 😊Thank You for your answers on the PG and Steak ~ Sounds really good … I’ve never shopped in Lidl or Aldi too, because we don’t have them over here. We only shop whatever is convenient. You are such a genuine person and definitely not a snob. Love being engaged in both your channels ❤️
I like this channel. I am glad you started it. I am sorry people were snide to you. Some people just can’t express themselves without being rude. I am one of those people who never wanted kids. My brother’s ex once told me that my “biological clock” was ticking. I looked her in the eye and told her that if I could, I would tear out that clock and stomp it! She never broached the subject again.😂😂😂
Love this new channel! Disappointed in some of the comments, but you handle them with such grace. I’m 49 and child free by choice - since letting my hair go natural with grays and all, no one asks me about having kids anymore. 😂 rocking my old-wise lady look and happy for it. I don’t know if car related things are strictly for your main channel, but as a car lover I would love to see more car content.
Dear Sophie, I am from Australia🎉 and I want to apologise to you on behalf of that particular commentator. I shop at my local Aldi lots, it can be a bit hits and misses at times depending on what item I purchase. So far most purchases have been hits. A lot of people here prefer shop elsewhere as Aldi does not have a wide range of products. So they prefer go to other supermarkets which hold a wider selection of products. Each to their own. I appreciate freedom of speech, however there's no need to communicate to you in this manner. Please continue to shop where it suits you and David. Love from Australia. ❤
Excited to watch this Sophie. You’ve have a real spring in your step since launching this channel. I think it even shows on the other one, best thing you ever did (RUclips wise)
I always thought water retention was on legs and feet, but you can retain water on face, hands too! I have problems with water retention, always read your labels to make sure!
With the myopic view of the person criticizing you for not going to Aldi, I'm going to assume this person is either young or just clueless. I don't shop at Lidl either, the closest one is 5 hours away! 😂
Thanks for opening up on your opinions about Lidl! I look forward to finding out what your opinion on Aldi, or maybe even something like Iceland or Farmfoods. Have you ever ordered from one of those organic places like Pipers Farm? I've always wanted to try but I haven't had a chance.
I totally agree with the comment on minute 6.24, i really like your personality as well and will watch whatever video you post online, it's a pity though that you only share the other ghosts stories only on patreon, i'm such a sucker for those and you're very good at telling them!!!
What you said is 100% about me! I'm torn with child question!! I was marries and have 2 teenage kids, we happily divorced and now I'm married to the love of my life and..... we can't decide! I'm 35 and was raising children all my life, I want to be selfish, I want to have less dishes and I want to walked naked ffrom the shower! however.. I also want to have a child with my amazing husband and share our love and future with them. The reason I'm hesitant it's because I know exactly what it cost in all ways to have children... I would love to hear you thought on that, because it is a life changing decision !
My in laws have always avoided Iceland as they were always told it was terrible. When I moved to the UK to get married, I started shopping there. They came over for dinner one day and couldn't believe how nice the food was. They have been shopping there since the start of 2020 and wouldn't go back to their old supermarket.
I love your bracelets! My daughter actually makes bracelets like these and has done for her friends too. I think they are very cute!! Also, I've never been to a Lidl either and also didn't know it was German. I used to go to Aldi all the time when I lived in Australia, but the Aldi where I live now is not at all in a convenient location for me, so I don't go anymore. I think most of us would do groceries largely at the closest supermarket? I know I do. I always enjoy these chatty kinds of videos, please do more! Have a beautiful weekend xo
Wow, thank you for responding to my comment! I would love to see you do a video about how your style has changed through the years. I think you have such a fun style. Love your fun personal touches through your jewelry and accessories.
Love the new channel bc it’s still very small and entertaining and hope it doesn’t get too big…no offense. It’s just nicer when I see you comment or like a comment. People can be very rude with their responses and even more so on the gram. I use to judge Aldi and Ladl (in US)at fist glance bc it’s very casual looking with products displayed from the box which actually helps with the employees not having to empty the product for display. It’s very smart marketing in the end. When you try the products and experience the good quality you come back for more. We now shop there all the time. Do you have Ross in the UK. It’s like TKmaxx but lower prices and brands not always known but good quality. I usually get my intimate wear there bc the prices are so much cheaper but same brands. You just have to search.
Everyone can choose for themselves if they want kids or not. I have 1 kid and while it is amazing it is also very hard work. I told people I wont be having anymore kids because 1 is enough for me and you wouldn't believe the things people said to me😂😂😂 So yeah, they bother you about having kids until you have a kid and from then on they try to push you to have more until you have 3 or 4. After that its "Why do you have so many kids? Another one? Don't you think you have enough now?" Whatever you do...people will make silly comments and be unhappy about it. 😂
Great video! Could you please do something on career advice? They are my favorite! I would love to hear what exactly you do in marketing and how to get into the business. I’m looking at a career change from the legal field. I don’t know if I should go to college or what to do to pivot. Love from Oklahoma ❤
Love this new channel and topics your are discussing! 100% agree on the kids topic,I’m in my late 20s and keep getting asked when I will have them but I already know it will never be for me. Looking forward to more videos xx
I live in the US and live less than a mile from an Aldi. I've only been there once and was not a fan imo. I have another grocery store one or two miles further away that I have been shopping at for many years and trust in their items already so don't feel the need to shop at Aldi. I'm a woman in my forties and don't regret having kids. I also find less people ask me if I have kids nowadays. To each their own. Thanks for making this video! ❤ 😊
So glad you spoke about the childfree life. My partner and I are in our 30s and have decided to be childfree, simply because we love our independence. When people ask me and I say we have chosen to be child free people get extremely passionate and quite angry and say stuff like you will change your mind, or you will regret it later in life 😒 you just can’t win right xxx
I have children but grew up with most of the prominent women in my life being childless (choice or circumstance) so I find it odd that people find it odd. I bet you are a *fabulous* aunty. I do see some gals online who seem to use child free as some sort of identity or are repelled by the very idea of motherhood or are frankly just quite unpleasantly self absorbed. It's just a choice and doesn't make them special. Love your attitude about it.
Hi Everyone! I don't know if this is my 1st comment here, I enjoy Your video's and You as a person. Keep using Infrared mask, I have it for 5 years and it's great.I really liked video in Lidl with David. Say hi to! ❤
I loved your ghost stories on your other chanel, even though scary what you've been through in the house you lived in. I'd love to hear about more spiritual encounters if you had more to tell.
I too, live very near a semi costly grocery store, I have been to an Aldi, I like Aldi, but the convenience of the higher end local shop, saves me money in the long run. There is no snobbery involved in my choice of grocers. And I actually love to hit Aldi when I’m near one.
Loving your new channel. On the subject of having kids----it's a personal decision. I chose never to have them myself, even before I found out I couldn't have them anyway. And I did this fairly early on in my life---around the age of 11 or 12. I saw what other women dealt with on a daily basis, and decided it wasn't for me. Of course, I was told that I'd change my mind when I got older, met the right guy, etc. I got on birth control at age 16; my mom didn't even know til a few years later, and I stayed with it. I knew I would have made a lousy parent. I wouldn't have been able to deal with the loss of freedom, sacrifices for things you want, being able to go out or on holiday when you wanted, etc. I have no regrets whatsoever. Now that my last husband has passed, I'm used to and enjoy living alone. I can do what I want when I want, and only have myself to worry about. And I never had to worry about a 16 year old offspring wrecking my car. (Jan Griffiths).
I could have written much of this myself. I said from a young age I didn’t want kids and heard the same comments over and over again. People finally stopped asking when I let my natural grey grow out. 😆 I do not regret it one bit.
@@fishandfloral Yeah, it's sad that no one took us seriously at that age. They thought we didn't know our own minds or what we wanted for ourselves. (Jan Griffiths).
I have never heard of Lidl before. But we have Aldi in California. I can't do a full shop there either. Nor can I do a full shop at Trader Joe's or Costco. So while I love these stores, sometimes you just have to go to the regular grocery store. The store I pick any given day, is going to be the one where I can knock the most off my list! ❤🛒✏️🗒
I kind of loved that you were reading messages in your car, it reminded me of your mail time at the end of your videos and I was missing it the other day, but forgot to tell you. Is that still a thing or will it continue in this format?
Hello my friend! I am so glad you're enjoying this :) Ahh, I miss the subbie mealtimes. I stopped them only because I closed my PO Box down. It was very unreliable and extremely expensive. They even started returning people's mail in the end for some reason :( xx
I think shop where you want to shop! If you want to shop at Waitrose, that’s up to you … it doesn’t make you a snob to not have shopped at more economical places. I only shop at M&S because it’s close, I don’t cook, and I want the best I can find for my personal situation. I wouldn’t shop at Lidl and Aldi, have been to our local Aldi near my work building and we had a Lidl over the road from my 6th form where we all used to go for 25p pizza at lunch. But now, not for me. 🤷♂️
Sophie! I love your videos and appreciate you. You are so gracious to entertain all these hate comments and always encourage ppl to say what they truly think. I am disgusted by the people commenting negatively and would rather not entertain them! 😡😤 If Sophie is a snob then we will all be snobs with Sophie. 😎 //joke
Gluten, dairy and cane sugar have recently started causing me digestive issues and skin issues...these issues developed in adulthood...so devastating as I love pasta, pizza and cake lol
Oh the child free life questions. Told to my face I was selfish for not having kids, meanwhile, little did they know I went through 5 years of infertility treatments. I just started saying why would you ask…..then the inevitable you could adopt, then get offended when I replied, so could you. I don’t miss that
My husband and I made the choice not to have children before we got married. We weren’t really pressured, but once my sister-in-law started asking me when we were going to have a baby. I told her that she should have another. And we never had that conversation again. Even though we are older now, it was the right decision for us.
I used to get the pressure to have kids too but in the last few years, I've gotten a lot less questions about having kids and less pressure about our decision to be child-free. US Polo Association is a legitimate company but they do copy RL. Decades ago ( I think in the 80s) the courts told them they must make sure their logo doesn't cause confusion for the customer (mistaking it for Polo RL) but otherwise they can sell their designs. USPA was around before RL but they started as a sport association (hence the name) and when RL filed copyrights for its logo and designs, they should have challenged RL but didn't. The main issue is that USPA does indeed cause confusion, as you also experienced. A lot of people think its' related to Polo RL, so they're not doing a great job of not causing confusion. Also, some designs really are copies of Polo RL but there's not really a legal ground for RL to sue b/c you can't patent polo shirts or clothing in general. I have known people that have worked in corporate for both companies and it's interesting to hear each company's perspective.
What you have to know about Aldi and Lidl is that the concept has changed. They used to not sell any known brands. So their food or drinks would we quite weird sometimes. Like “fake” coke and stuff. And yes it was cheaper but not the same. People didn’t do a full shop because some products you really want the brand and not the “knockoff”. The quality of the meat really wasn’t great and the vegetables so so. After a long while they started to add brands to their stores and they changed the layout and look of their stores. They upped the quality of the meat and vegetables as well. So my guess is you had the old comments and the new store and you couldn’t quite match the two :) The people you spoke to weren’t completely wrong 😊
I'm American, I do not like Aldi... I think it's semi-dumpy and I don't like it. I am a snob apparently and I'm ok with it LOL. Whomever loves Aldi, go for it, you do you. I am so glad you've got this 2nd channel, Sophie.
U.s. polo is totally a wanna be Ralph Lauren. I’m in the U.S. and have only seen it sold at outlet and stores like Ross, T.j. Maxx, Marshall’s, D.D.’s discounts. I have shopped at all those stores for most of my life. I love discount stores. But it is what it is.
So, you supposed to know from what country every supermarket is from? Lol as a huge lover of both Aldi and Lidl, and they gave some amazing products, their fruit and veg selection in the stores close to me are absolutely rubbish (and yes it can change by locations) , but wherever you decide to shop is your business:) love the new channel :)
Yes the whole getting asked about kids thing! When I was a single woman in my mid twenties I used to get asked this a lot and “why are you not married?” By people. It always made me feel less of a woman and that something is wrong with you. I had an unplanned pregnancy with my current partner at 31 and became a mother at 32 and it changed when are you having more??? ( I almost died having the first baby) and It’s like you can’t win. I’m in my late thirties and no one asks me anymore
Its people who return fakes after buying the item in store I believe. The next buyer gets stuck with the fake. ALSO very important to keep in mind that TK Maxx sells licensed stuff of less quality. Works the same as a Peimark using Disney or Marvel. It’s only produced for them. The tag contains the code 1 in the end if I’m not mistaken. Its really the nr 2 you want. That’s the real stuff being sold at stores first. Which I usually pick and google. Sometimes they’re still on the website of the store like a 500 euro cardigan trompe-l’oeil Ralph Lauren for 100 in TK Maxx I bought recently. Its very real. Then you have the nr 7 on the labels. That’s deadstock and stuff that’s being held back a few seasons from the bigger brands
I'm getting asked about boyfriends, husband, kids at work interviews which is totally irrelevant to the role I've applied for...deeply personal questions and they stare at you waiting for an "explanation" , my answer is no to all of these, not things that are always within my control...really depressing, get judged at work as well as outside of it :( xxxx
I'm sorry to hear this my friend, and I understand since I was once asked "will you be having children?" in an interview too! I was totally blown over at how rude (and probably illegal) it was to ask such a question! People need to calm down lol xx
@@LookNowbySophieShohet awww Sophie thankyou for your reply!!! Yes, it's mind blowing in this era isn't it, wow yes I can relate to how you must have felt 🙄 shocking, oh I forgot one too, last week I was asked How old are you?! I mean is that relevant lol 😆 blimey...Again your reply means the world thankyou 🤗💖💕🐇🌟🐕❤️xx
Dear Sophie, please don't ever feel the need to have to explain why you didn't patronize certain stores (e.g. Lidl) or apologize for making any honest comment about a brand. I and many others love you for being real and not fake. You don't come off as a snob at all. And US Polo Assn does seem like a copy of Polo even to us in the U.S. In fact, that brand is typically sold in Walmart. Moving on, one of my favorite places in London back in the early 2000s was Covent Garden. I really wonder what it's like there these days. If you ever are up to it, will you take us on a "tour" of the shops/cafes there? Is it safe there? Thanks for another great video! 🎉
It is strange why people can’t mind their own business in regards to if you are a parent or not. I’m a parent and my best friend has no children. However he is the best uncle in the world. He takes his nieces and nephews on holidays so his bother and sister in law can have a break. He gets asks the same question all the time. Are these your kids? Why don’t you have kids. He chose not to have his own kids, he is happy to the uncle that can spoil these kids rotten, as his brother is not as financially secure as he is. It is good that you and David are on the same page. A few people I know got divorced over not wanting kids and their parent wanting to have kids.
I'd love to see you do a business/career themed channel. I'd definitely patreon subscribe to it as I'm doing business in uni but have no one to chat about my course with.
I hate the connotations that come with stating you dont want children, almost like its as if youre not enough as a woman if you dont have children, or having children is what completes you as a woman. We never as a woman why she wants to have kids, so why are we asking women why they don't want kids. Oh, you want kids? Great! Oh, you don't want kids? Great! Its a personal decision involving nobody but yourself and your partner. As a single 30 ywar old woman, im constantly getting the watch tapping from family as they just can't comprehend that a young woman could possibly be hapoy single and childless. Its just a bug bear of mine. Love you and David, and the channel!
Lets be honest. Waitrose food and shopping experience is way nicer. Theres more choice but Aldi is great if you dont mind the same thing all the time. I cant afford Waitrose but if i could I would shop there and maybe occasionally Aldi
I'm loving this new channel, Sophie! I'm 48, and I've gone from "when are you having kids?" to "you should've had kids" when I'm entirely comfortable with my life choices. Funny how it seems to still be fair game to ask, though. Maybe I really wanted kids and tried for years, but it didn't happen? Imagine being in that position, and having someone berate you for being child-free. Have a great weekend! x
I'm childfree also, I'm 31. I've been fortunate that I've never been pressured to have children, my uncle asked me if I'd likely have children and I said no probably not and my family all accept it. There was a short period of time i was thinking about adoption and i realised it was because my cousin was pregnant with her first which isnt the best reason to have a child
I don't think anyone expects me to have children.

Please be our ghost hunter 😂 you can also tell us stories you hear from others. You are just such a nice storyteller 🤍 wish you and David a nice evening and an energentic week!
Attacking people for not having children! It is incredibly rude! What if it is distressing for them?! Maybe they want to have them and they cannot! Thank you for the video.
You're so right Daniel (and I hope you heard your shoutout in this video, I love seeing your name here!) You're so right, there is absolutely that judgement and also, the "you'll be alone when you're old" thing, it's very insensitive, especially to a person who wants them but cannot (even because they haven't found a partner etc) xx
And it is so dumb too. Nobody knows what happens in life. They could pop out 20 babies and they could stil be alone when their old.
And then there are the people who have kids that shouldn't!
@@LookNowbySophieShohetHello! Yes, I did hear my shout and and was grateful! I do live in Australia! 👍
Its not other peoples’ business…
Hi Sophie. Great video. I remember you saying you are in marketing. Would you ever consider doing a video on a typical day in your job. Or even a generic video of hints and tips to get into marketing. I'm 21 (again) give or take 20 years-and I'm looking for a change of career. Thanks 😁
Love your new channel so much! I have a different take on the having children question. I think for some women who have children- when they find out that someone doesn’t (some, not all) …. and they see that person traveling or going out to nice dinners or having a more care free life- there is an element of envy. Who knows- maybe they accidentally became pregnant ? are struggling financially with one or more kids? maybe they are not in a good relationship with their partner or are single parents? Then someone without all of the heavy responsibility of parenthood is someone to be envious of. Maybe they didn’t realize they didn’t HAVE to have kids- they just did what they assumed had to be done without much forethought?
E COLI: Update as of 4 hours ago.
Food manufacturers are recalling at least 56 types of pre-packed sandwiches, wraps and salads sold in major supermarkets because of possible contamination with E. coli.
E. coli bacteria have not been detected in the products, but they are being recalled as a precaution. It is understood these are items containing salad leaves.
Retailers involved include Aldi, Asda, Co-op and Morrisons.
american eggs I heard, maybe from washing them?
Ive learnt over the years never to assume what you consider to be common knowledge actually is common knowledge for everyone because we all grow up and experience different things. I
remember Lidl had a phase where I live in Norway too, but no one liked the store so it went away quickly again and was replaced by some other equally affordable store instead that people loved. It was never about the price, it was the layout, the products we love that weren’t there, the parking lot and the everything.
You're so right! It's 100% about being able to find your preferred brands and products I think. Though I did really rate Lidl, I'll for sure go back when I'm next near it! Hugs xx
Hi Sophie and everyone. Indeed, the whole thing about kids is so annoying at times. A point was made though I agree with that I heard on YT. Women have been pressured to do both: work and raise family, without the resources to do so. Then they get shamed for not wanting or not able to have children. Thanks for sharing 😊.
Happy Weekend, Sophie! If anyone knows you, they know you are not a snob. lololol. I find that comment so silly. You and David are the best. xo xo
A very happy weekend to you too my friend! David and I have just ordered fish & chips for our dinner via Deliveroo, I cannot wait! My favourite! You're so kind, honestly, I'm very much NOT a snob. But I understand that when you don't know someone and you're watching them, maybe you might assume that (or make any assumption in fact) You have the nicest weekend! Hugs xx
People get threatened or intimidated by others who choose a different lifestyle, they come out with those type of stupid comments as they can't handle someone doing something different.
I had the same problem with bread but I can eat Jason's sourdourgh or Bertinet bakery from waitrose. And only the white ones. And i take digestive enzyme supplements everyday. But yeah i know what you mean about bloating. But honestly these 2 are the best. No problems.
Hi Sophie, thanks so much for showing us your cute bracelets - they give me Barbie vibes and would go so well with your other pink things. You know what the Friday videos remind me of? When you used to do the ones you called Friday Hangouts. Remember that? This is like Friday Hangouts 2.0! 💕
As a german, i love to hear that you enjoyed the food from Lidl. ☺ i found it very interesting to see you discovering it. Usually i discovering new stores though you ☺
I love your chatty videos like this. Youre a beautiful soul, Sophie.
I'm really glad you opened this channel to cater for topics that don't fit in the luxury one. I am not much of a commenter, but just came to say hi and that I enjoy these chit chats, very relaxing! 😊❤
It baffles my mind that someone would call you a snob, when you are very very far from being one lol ALSO, I love the bracelets, especially how you purposely had one that says "Balance" on it to remind yourself. That is a great idea that I wanted to try as well!
Those bracelets!! Awwwe my childhood memories, I want them! ❤💕💗
The reality is that most of the supermarkets including the budget and high end ones will share a lot of suppliers, especially for the non premium, everyday products. Sometimes it's obvious and sometimes you can tell from the recalls. I've also known people working in factories producing food and they're often making much the same product for all the different supermarkets and it'll just be packaged differently.
I’m over here in the unsure if I want kids camp 😅 32 and feel like I need to decide for sure in the next couple of years. Really appreciate you addressing the topic! Thanks for sharing.
Hello my friend! I actually think that's the hardest position to be in, where you're torn between the Yes and the No. I was there for a little while and I came through the other side with a solid decision. Don't stress it!xx
Hi Sophie. Wondering about a brand you've never heard of and saying that out loud is pretty authentic, if you ask me. And I have never known you to be anything else.
Concerning Aldi, it opened in Germany when I was a kid and it was a total game changer to low and middle class families who suddenly could afford to eat healthier than before without having a garden. Aldi and Lidl are a staple in a lot of German households nowadays and I am missing them dearly since having emigrated.
I'm going to comment on the e coli. I took Serve Safe several times here in the States and it's pretty much an industry standard for food handling. E coli can be on the surface of a steak and the process of cooking (the heat) will kill it. If you take that same steak and ground it up and make burgers cooking won't kill the e coli as easily. It's been ground into your meat. This is why I always order hamburgers very well done.
Hope that helps someone!
I always order my beef, steaks or burgers well done. Many people tell me to order them medium rare but now I am so glad I never listen to them! Thanks for sharing this important tid bit of information! 😊
I am from the US and the US POLO Association is a discount brand. Its sold in mostly discount stores. No relation to Ralph Lauren Polo.
I've been following the main channel since 2018, and I'm really enjoying this new channel as I just love to hear more about your life and hear your stories, especially about your marketing career!
As far as not having kids, it is tricky teaching to K-2 and telling parents, when they ask, as they always do, you don’t have kids!! Like if you work with little kids, you should have some!!!!💕💕💕💕💫
Hi Sophie!!! Third I think! My excuse .... Chippy tea yum. We have two proper butchers in our little one street village, which we always use. Hugs xx
Hello Jill, happy Friday to you!! OMG, same here!!! We've just ordered fish & chips for dinner! Enjoy yours!xx
@@LookNowbySophieShohetSnap lol
To me being child free is based on so many circumstances included, but no limited to:death....personal observations,personal experiences,outward observations,impersonal experiences,vast observations,overall impressions,and the list grows by the day,despite being great w nieces and nephews who I adore, still not enough to change my mind,id adopt ,but i also put so much energy into pets,i am an unapologetic dog lover,I fully cater to their fluffy vulnerability
yes to more ghost videos plz!!!! :)
love this video Sophie! you’re an inspiration. Could you do a video on eating out and restaurants in your area or london? Would love your suggestions. 😘😘
Hi Sophie, i love this channel. I think having kids is a big life changing decision and shouldn't be taken lightly. Everyone is different, and our circumstances are different. Sending hugs ❤
Hi Sophie ! Really happy that you mentioned me in your video 😊Thank You for your answers on the PG and Steak ~ Sounds really good … I’ve never shopped in Lidl or Aldi too, because we don’t have them over here. We only shop whatever is convenient. You are such a genuine person and definitely not a snob. Love being engaged in both your channels ❤️
Oh Sophie ☺️ You just made my day with this new video of yours ♥️
I like this channel. I am glad you started it. I am sorry people were snide to you. Some people just can’t express themselves without being rude.
I am one of those people who never wanted kids. My brother’s ex once told me that my “biological clock” was ticking. I looked her in the eye and told her that if I could, I would tear out that clock and stomp it! She never broached the subject again.😂😂😂
Love this new channel! Disappointed in some of the comments, but you handle them with such grace. I’m 49 and child free by choice - since letting my hair go natural with grays and all, no one asks me about having kids anymore. 😂 rocking my old-wise lady look and happy for it. I don’t know if car related things are strictly for your main channel, but as a car lover I would love to see more car content.
Dear Sophie, I am from Australia🎉 and I want to apologise to you on behalf of that particular commentator. I shop at my local Aldi lots, it can be a bit hits and misses at times depending on what item I purchase. So far most purchases have been hits. A lot of people here prefer shop elsewhere as Aldi does not have a wide range of products. So they prefer go to other supermarkets which hold a wider selection of products. Each to their own. I appreciate freedom of speech, however there's no need to communicate to you in this manner. Please continue to shop where it suits you and David. Love from Australia. ❤
Excited to watch this Sophie. You’ve have a real spring in your step since launching this channel. I think it even shows on the other one, best thing you ever did (RUclips wise)
ah those pink bracelets remind me of my Tarina Tarantino phase! all the celebs were wearing them back in the early 2000s
Hey thank you so much for the shoutout, I totally wasn’t expecting that! Best regards🥰
I always thought water retention was on legs and feet, but you can retain water on face, hands too! I have problems with water retention, always read your labels to make sure!
With the myopic view of the person criticizing you for not going to Aldi, I'm going to assume this person is either young or just clueless. I don't shop at Lidl either, the closest one is 5 hours away! 😂
Thanks for opening up on your opinions about Lidl! I look forward to finding out what your opinion on Aldi, or maybe even something like Iceland or Farmfoods. Have you ever ordered from one of those organic places like Pipers Farm? I've always wanted to try but I haven't had a chance.
I totally agree with the comment on minute 6.24, i really like your personality as well and will watch whatever video you post online, it's a pity though that you only share the other ghosts stories only on patreon, i'm such a sucker for those and you're very good at telling them!!!
Guys, let’s be honest with Sophie
We want a ghost channel
Ps It can be shorts😍
What you said is 100% about me!
I'm torn with child question!!
I was marries and have 2 teenage kids, we happily divorced and now I'm married to the love of my life and..... we can't decide!
I'm 35 and was raising children all my life, I want to be selfish, I want to have less dishes and I want to walked naked ffrom the shower!
however.. I also want to have a child with my amazing husband and share our love and future with them.
The reason I'm hesitant it's because I know exactly what it cost in all ways to have children...
I would love to hear you thought on that, because it is a life changing decision !
My in laws have always avoided Iceland as they were always told it was terrible. When I moved to the UK to get married, I started shopping there. They came over for dinner one day and couldn't believe how nice the food was. They have been shopping there since the start of 2020 and wouldn't go back to their old supermarket.
I love your bracelets! My daughter actually makes bracelets like these and has done for her friends too. I think they are very cute!! Also, I've never been to a Lidl either and also didn't know it was German. I used to go to Aldi all the time when I lived in Australia, but the Aldi where I live now is not at all in a convenient location for me, so I don't go anymore. I think most of us would do groceries largely at the closest supermarket? I know I do. I always enjoy these chatty kinds of videos, please do more! Have a beautiful weekend xo
Wow, thank you for responding to my comment! I would love to see you do a video about how your style has changed through the years. I think you have such a fun style. Love your fun personal touches through your jewelry and accessories.
Love the new channel bc it’s still very small and entertaining and hope it doesn’t get too big…no offense. It’s just nicer when I see you comment or like a comment.
People can be very rude with their responses and even more so on the gram.
I use to judge Aldi and Ladl (in US)at fist glance bc it’s very casual looking with products displayed from the box which actually helps with the employees not having to empty the product for display. It’s very smart marketing in the end. When you try the products and experience the good quality you come back for more. We now shop there all the time. Do you have Ross in the UK. It’s like TKmaxx but lower prices and brands not always known but good quality. I usually get my intimate wear there bc the prices are so much cheaper but same brands. You just have to search.
Everyone can choose for themselves if they want kids or not. I have 1 kid and while it is amazing it is also very hard work. I told people I wont be having anymore kids because 1 is enough for me and you wouldn't believe the things people said to me😂😂😂 So yeah, they bother you about having kids until you have a kid and from then on they try to push you to have more until you have 3 or 4. After that its "Why do you have so many kids? Another one? Don't you think you have enough now?" Whatever you do...people will make silly comments and be unhappy about it. 😂
Omg, that is sooooo true. You made me smile and want to cry at the same time 😂
Great video! Could you please do something on career advice? They are my favorite! I would love to hear what exactly you do in marketing and how to get into the business. I’m looking at a career change from the legal field. I don’t know if I should go to college or what to do to pivot. Love from Oklahoma ❤
Love this new channel and topics your are discussing! 100% agree on the kids topic,I’m in my late 20s and keep getting asked when I will have them but I already know it will never be for me. Looking forward to more videos xx
I love your new channel, i absolutely adore it ! ❤❤❤❤❤
I live in the U.S……and yes, US Polo Association is a lowbrow. Ralph Lauren is a quality brand.
Love the new channel! They compliment each other well💜🇨🇦
Like the car sit downs.
I live in the US and live less than a mile from an Aldi. I've only been there once and was not a fan imo. I have another grocery store one or two miles further away that I have been shopping at for many years and trust in their items already so don't feel the need to shop at Aldi.
I'm a woman in my forties and don't regret having kids. I also find less people ask me if I have kids nowadays. To each their own. Thanks for making this video! ❤ 😊
So glad you spoke about the childfree life. My partner and I are in our 30s and have decided to be childfree, simply because we love our independence. When people ask me and I say we have chosen to be child free people get extremely passionate and quite angry and say stuff like you will change your mind, or you will regret it later in life 😒 you just can’t win right xxx
I have children but grew up with most of the prominent women in my life being childless (choice or circumstance) so I find it odd that people find it odd. I bet you are a *fabulous* aunty. I do see some gals online who seem to use child free as some sort of identity or are repelled by the very idea of motherhood or are frankly just quite unpleasantly self absorbed. It's just a choice and doesn't make them special. Love your attitude about it.
Hi Everyone! I don't know if this is my 1st comment here, I enjoy Your video's and You as a person. Keep using Infrared mask, I have it for 5 years and it's great.I really liked video in Lidl with David. Say hi to! ❤
We would love your review on Poundland, IKEA, BnQ and Iceland please.
I always wonder if the loud music is to block the rational part of our brains while shopping. I love your ck jumper!
I loved your ghost stories on your other chanel, even though scary what you've been through in the house you lived in. I'd love to hear about more spiritual encounters if you had more to tell.
I too, live very near a semi costly grocery store, I have been to an Aldi, I like Aldi, but the convenience of the higher end local shop, saves me money in the long run. There is no snobbery involved in my choice of grocers. And I actually love to hit Aldi when I’m near one.
Great responses ❤😊
Loving your new channel. On the subject of having kids----it's a personal decision. I chose never to have them myself, even before I found out I couldn't have them anyway. And I did this fairly early on in my life---around the age of 11 or 12. I saw what other women dealt with on a daily basis, and decided it wasn't for me. Of course, I was told that I'd change my mind when I got older, met the right guy, etc. I got on birth control at age 16; my mom didn't even know til a few years later, and I stayed with it. I knew I would have made a lousy parent. I wouldn't have been able to deal with the loss of freedom, sacrifices for things you want, being able to go out or on holiday when you wanted, etc. I have no regrets whatsoever. Now that my last husband has passed, I'm used to and enjoy living alone. I can do what I want when I want, and only have myself to worry about. And I never had to worry about a 16 year old offspring wrecking my car. (Jan Griffiths).
I could have written much of this myself. I said from a young age I didn’t want kids and heard the same comments over and over again. People finally stopped asking when I let my natural grey grow out. 😆 I do not regret it one bit.
@@fishandfloral Yeah, it's sad that no one took us seriously at that age. They thought we didn't know our own minds or what we wanted for ourselves. (Jan Griffiths).
The e coli is from the sandwiches and wraps sold in supermarkets Aldi Asda etc. a list has been published.
I have never heard of Lidl before. But we have Aldi in California. I can't do a full shop there either. Nor can I do a full shop at Trader Joe's or Costco. So while I love these stores, sometimes you just have to go to the regular grocery store. The store I pick any given day, is going to be the one where I can knock the most off my list! ❤🛒✏️🗒
I kind of loved that you were reading messages in your car, it reminded me of your mail time at the end of your videos and I was missing it the other day, but forgot to tell you. Is that still a thing or will it continue in this format?
Hello my friend! I am so glad you're enjoying this :) Ahh, I miss the subbie mealtimes. I stopped them only because I closed my PO Box down. It was very unreliable and extremely expensive. They even started returning people's mail in the end for some reason :( xx
Thanks for addressing the Childfree question Sophie ❤️
I think shop where you want to shop! If you want to shop at Waitrose, that’s up to you … it doesn’t make you a snob to not have shopped at more economical places. I only shop at M&S because it’s close, I don’t cook, and I want the best I can find for my personal situation. I wouldn’t shop at Lidl and Aldi, have been to our local Aldi near my work building and we had a Lidl over the road from my 6th form where we all used to go for 25p pizza at lunch. But now, not for me. 🤷♂️
Sophie! I love your videos and appreciate you. You are so gracious to entertain all these hate comments and always encourage ppl to say what they truly think. I am disgusted by the people commenting negatively and would rather not entertain them! 😡😤
If Sophie is a snob then we will all be snobs with Sophie. 😎
//joke
Just a heads up, when they have e coli issues here in the states, it is a lot of times the bagged salads. You may want to look into it.
Gluten, dairy and cane sugar have recently started causing me digestive issues and skin issues...these issues developed in adulthood...so devastating as I love pasta, pizza and cake lol
Oh the child free life questions. Told to my face I was selfish for not having kids, meanwhile, little did they know I went through 5 years of infertility treatments. I just started saying why would you ask…..then the inevitable you could adopt, then get offended when I replied, so could you.
I don’t miss that
My husband and I made the choice not to have children before we got married. We weren’t really pressured, but once my sister-in-law started asking me when we were going to have a baby. I told her that she should have another. And we never had that conversation again. Even though we are older now, it was the right decision for us.
Hi Sophie I love your video’s
Honestly once you opened up about your cancer journey I understood you not having kids more.
I used to get the pressure to have kids too but in the last few years, I've gotten a lot less questions about having kids and less pressure about our decision to be child-free.
US Polo Association is a legitimate company but they do copy RL. Decades ago ( I think in the 80s) the courts told them they must make sure their logo doesn't cause confusion for the customer (mistaking it for Polo RL) but otherwise they can sell their designs. USPA was around before RL but they started as a sport association (hence the name) and when RL filed copyrights for its logo and designs, they should have challenged RL but didn't.
The main issue is that USPA does indeed cause confusion, as you also experienced. A lot of people think its' related to Polo RL, so they're not doing a great job of not causing confusion. Also, some designs really are copies of Polo RL but there's not really a legal ground for RL to sue b/c you can't patent polo shirts or clothing in general. I have known people that have worked in corporate for both companies and it's interesting to hear each company's perspective.
What you have to know about Aldi and Lidl is that the concept has changed. They used to not sell any known brands. So their food or drinks would we quite weird sometimes. Like “fake” coke and stuff. And yes it was cheaper but not the same. People didn’t do a full shop because some products you really want the brand and not the “knockoff”. The quality of the meat really wasn’t great and the vegetables so so. After a long while they started to add brands to their stores and they changed the layout and look of their stores. They upped the quality of the meat and vegetables as well. So my guess is you had the old comments and the new store and you couldn’t quite match the two :) The people you spoke to weren’t completely wrong 😊
I'm American, I do not like Aldi... I think it's semi-dumpy and I don't like it. I am a snob apparently and I'm ok with it LOL. Whomever loves Aldi, go for it, you do you. I am so glad you've got this 2nd channel, Sophie.
U.s. polo is totally a wanna be Ralph Lauren. I’m in the U.S. and have only seen it sold at outlet and stores like Ross, T.j. Maxx, Marshall’s, D.D.’s discounts. I have shopped at all those stores for most of my life. I love discount stores. But it is what it is.
So, you supposed to know from what country every supermarket is from? Lol as a huge lover of both Aldi and Lidl, and they gave some amazing products, their fruit and veg selection in the stores close to me are absolutely rubbish (and yes it can change by locations) , but wherever you decide to shop is your business:) love the new channel :)
Remembering seeing you buy a McLaren few years back and it was so inspiring. Me and my husband got one recently and love it. Do you still have yours?
Hello my friend, congrats on your gorgeous car! No we sold it and I got my GT3 instead. But we do both miss it, I love its exotic looks! xx
Yes the whole getting asked about kids thing! When I was a single woman in my mid twenties I used to get asked this a lot and “why are you not married?” By people. It always made me feel less of a woman and that something is wrong with you.
I had an unplanned pregnancy with my current partner at 31 and became a mother at 32 and it changed when are you having more??? ( I almost died having the first baby) and It’s like you can’t win. I’m in my late thirties and no one asks me anymore
Its people who return fakes after buying the item in store I believe. The next buyer gets stuck with the fake.
ALSO very important to keep in mind that TK Maxx sells licensed stuff of less quality. Works the same as a Peimark using Disney or Marvel. It’s only produced for them. The tag contains the code 1 in the end if I’m not mistaken.
Its really the nr 2 you want. That’s the real stuff being sold at stores first. Which I usually pick and google. Sometimes they’re still on the website of the store like a 500 euro cardigan trompe-l’oeil Ralph Lauren for 100 in TK Maxx I bought recently. Its very real.
Then you have the nr 7 on the labels. That’s deadstock and stuff that’s being held back a few seasons from the bigger brands
I have never seen US Polo Association brand anywhere except in discount stores! Clearly a RL dupe brand.
I'm getting asked about boyfriends, husband, kids at work interviews which is totally irrelevant to the role I've applied for...deeply personal questions and they stare at you waiting for an "explanation" , my answer is no to all of these, not things that are always within my control...really depressing, get judged at work as well as outside of it :( xxxx
I'm sorry to hear this my friend, and I understand since I was once asked "will you be having children?" in an interview too! I was totally blown over at how rude (and probably illegal) it was to ask such a question! People need to calm down lol xx
@@LookNowbySophieShohet awww Sophie thankyou for your reply!!! Yes, it's mind blowing in this era isn't it, wow yes I can relate to how you must have felt 🙄 shocking, oh I forgot one too, last week I was asked How old are you?! I mean is that relevant lol 😆 blimey...Again your reply means the world thankyou 🤗💖💕🐇🌟🐕❤️xx
Could you make more videos about owning rabbits as pets?
It is an imitation polo Ralph Lauren
I feel like even if it’s legit or whatever TK/J Maxx displays it as if it’s RL
It’s a brand but the Ralph Lauren dupe….
❤

Dear Sophie, please don't ever feel the need to have to explain why you didn't patronize certain stores (e.g. Lidl) or apologize for making any honest comment about a brand. I and many others love you for being real and not fake. You don't come off as a snob at all. And US Polo Assn does seem like a copy of Polo even to us in the U.S. In fact, that brand is typically sold in Walmart. Moving on, one of my favorite places in London back in the early 2000s was Covent Garden. I really wonder what it's like there these days. If you ever are up to it, will you take us on a "tour" of the shops/cafes there? Is it safe there? Thanks for another great video! 🎉
It is strange why people can’t mind their own business in regards to if you are a parent or not. I’m a parent and my best friend has no children. However he is the best uncle in the world. He takes his nieces and nephews on holidays so his bother and sister in law can have a break. He gets asks the same question all the time. Are these your kids? Why don’t you have kids. He chose not to have his own kids, he is happy to the uncle that can spoil these kids rotten, as his brother is not as financially secure as he is. It is good that you and David are on the same page. A few people I know got divorced over not wanting kids and their parent wanting to have kids.
I'd love to see you do a business/career themed channel. I'd definitely patreon subscribe to it as I'm doing business in uni but have no one to chat about my course with.
I hate the connotations that come with stating you dont want children, almost like its as if youre not enough as a woman if you dont have children, or having children is what completes you as a woman. We never as a woman why she wants to have kids, so why are we asking women why they don't want kids. Oh, you want kids? Great! Oh, you don't want kids? Great! Its a personal decision involving nobody but yourself and your partner. As a single 30 ywar old woman, im constantly getting the watch tapping from family as they just can't comprehend that a young woman could possibly be hapoy single and childless. Its just a bug bear of mine. Love you and David, and the channel!
Lets be honest. Waitrose food and shopping experience is way nicer. Theres more choice but Aldi is great if you dont mind the same thing all the time. I cant afford Waitrose but if i could I would shop there and maybe occasionally Aldi
Yes, the children question drives me nuts! I have even gotten, "who will take care of you when you are old?" .. seriously? Great video, Sophie 😊
What is your thoughts of castor oil for your face ? Lots of tik toks about it
