I'm having a social media detox also. I've also noticed I'm doing more of my hobbies, and I've read two books so far, and I'm not missing any social media at all. My brain feels so much better. ❤
I deleted all my social media accounts (apart from RUclips) either at the end of 2020 or 2021 and it was so good for my mental health but the past year I've started getting drawn in again. I made an IG account just so I could see posts that people send to me, then it turned into me using that account just to follow a few of my favourites creators, and then suddenly I found myself doom scrolling for hours again. I also found that I started just endlessly watching RUclips to make up for the lack of other social media, so that's definitely something I need to work on this year! I really miss not being so dependant on my phone and computer and am really hoping to find some balance soon! Seeing how well it is going for you so far is inspiring me to get properly get back to it now! 💌 ALSO, Wuthering Heights is one of my favourites books ever but it is essentially one big story being told to one character so I would honestly recommend picking up an audiobook!
Awww I totally understand!! It's just so incredibly tempting to search for another app to spend time on. I've decided to just delete them all from my phone so that temptation is a lot less. Ah, the audiobook tip is great!! I'm definitely going to do that. Thanks!
I spend very little time on social media lately, in fact the only one I have is Instagram and it's incredible how much reading and hobbies I've done. Have a good trip and make lots of videos while you're in Ireland. I love with this country and I'd love to see a the Emerald Isle in the next vlog ☘💚
Thanks for watching! These colouring books are so fun! I'm using the Crayola Supertips and some very cheap permanent markers from my local crafts store. They both work pretty great!
I try to do one full no social media day per week and sometimes it works and sometimes it fails- but I love the idea of going off for a break for a longer time. Maybe in February I’ll do that. 💜 love this shot of your life- so soothing
That's such a great way to do a little social media detox sometimes!! When I'm downloading social media again in February, I might try to do that too, a weekly 'no social media day'! 💫 Thanks for watching!
I am doing the same with horror movies, i start to analize every production detail, from makeup and clothes, to setting and lighting, filters, anything that can make me feel that is a made-up scare😄. Maybe if we can find that balanced mode of using social media - the point where it is not compulsive anymore, but intentional - it can be really practical and pleasant. Have a fun trip, enjoy every moment!
Love your videos! I'm so happy you are coming to my homeland Ireland. May I recommend 3 wonderful bookstores. In Dublin- Chapters Bookstore, full of fabulous new and second-hand books at a very good price. Also in Dublin- Hodges Figgis Bookstore, the oldeset bookshop in Ireland. And finally in Cork, Vibes and Scribes, full of crafty materials and books. Have a fab holiday 😍
If you want to make the most out of your trip to Ireland I'd recommend paddy wagon tours. Its a popular service tourist use to get to tourist locations outside of Dublin, you could book trips before you leave. I actually pass by the Dublin pick up point everyday on my way to work.
I have done this challenge before and I never went back. I deleted all my accounts. Only social media I have is Discord, but that does feel different to me since you can't doom scroll on it. RUclips Shorts is one that is difficult sometimes for me though 😅
The Safe Keep is brilliant and I thought it should have won the Booker prize. Currently reading The Go-between by L P Hartley, The Noise Of Time by Julian Barnes and Earth by John Boyne. All of them are excellent. Am looking to get Rebecca based on your recommendation and lastly, have a wonderful holiday ❤
I don't know if you talked about this and I missed it..but do you count youtube as social media as well? Because I spent a lot on time on RUclips as well. That's what I would miss the most..😅 And I don't think I would want to stop with that completely, but I could try to do it a little less as well. 😅😜
I took myself to the cinema to see Nosferatu too. I was exactly the same as you at first but I ended up thinking it was a really good film (apart from the jump scares) xx
Gave me so much inspiration to disconnect and enjoy life, read books, and be positive! Hope you enjoy your time away from the chaos 🌺
Yessss go you! I’m having the best time 💖
I just set limits on Instagram and Threads each day which helps. I also read so much more when I cut back on social media!
🌱🌺🌷🌳
I'm so glad that works for you! I tried that and I'd just be ✨clicking Ignore For The Day✨like there's no tomorrow 🤣

Ooh, I'll be in Dublin the week after this for an entire week too! For Trad Fest a huge music festival for traditional Irish music. :)

Great vlog. I been wanting to check out those coloring books for some time now. What style brand markers are they used? 📚☕

Oh ok. Yes I have brush markers that should work.

What a great idea! Definitely looking into that if we've got some extra time
I ❤ Delft!!!! Xx
Fellow irish follower here 🇮🇪 have the best time in our wonderful magical country Eire ✨💚

Great video. What game were you playing on your Nintendo Switch towards the end of the video?
It's Disney Dreamlight Valley!
@@BasicallyBrittx It looks like a good game

That’s my problem too! Instagram is no problem to delete for me, but RUclips is scarily hard for me to totally get rid of!
Have fun on your trip to Ireland. ☘️🌼🌽🌾🌿🌵🌷🌱🌹🌻🏵️
Thank you!! 🇮🇪
📖🧡🛍️enjoy your Holiday 🧳
Thanks!!

When did you last do a Read With Me video?
That must've been a couple of years ago. I think this was my last one: ruclips.net/video/gMISYQRt72I/видео.html
I would do it but I don’t remember passwords of my social media accounts so I might just stick with the limit thing
Although I do keep pressing ignore but i really need to try and not doomscroll
🌳🌻🌱🌾
lol I really should delete social media😅 like you said, it would give me so much more time to do other things 😂
It's amazing! Highly recommend it :)
i'm doing this becos of my recent breakup and my ex's friends obsessing over my social media profile
I'm so sorry to hear this 😭
@ it’s okay lovelyyy! It does feel refreshing to take a step back from it because of this! Your video inspired me more 🥺

Have you watched Squid Game season 2?
Not yet! Was it any good?
@BasicallyBrittx Yes. It's as good as the 1st season. Only 7 episodes though.
