I LOVE that you say "need" vs "want." Excellent. We do not "need" bags. Love it. LOVE your whole train of thought. And you should never have to justify what you own. We don't need anyone to do anything for us! Lodis is a fantastic brand--underrated. I would NEVER have guessed your age to be that close to my own, you look like a college kid ;) Rock it!
Yessss to the peptalk!! I totally agree and it's much needed advice for many young girls and women. Those glasses are amazing!! I always buy styles like that as well
I love you sooo much. Thanks for a little back story on your life, I always love hearing about it! I'm 23 and hustling as hard as I can so one day I can treat myself from time to time. You are always a great inspiration!
Love your channel, love your personality (that "where's my phone?!" is hilarious and so relatable... I think I do it all the time), love your nerd swag, love the bag! I really appreciate you taking the time to make videos here. The "beauty world" needs smart, independent and confident women like you, Nicole.
Love this pep talk. I'm so over watching my old friends who married money post their "things", trips, etc on FB. It's like, what did YOU bring to the table? Because daddy didn't buy my ANYTHING, daddy taught me how to work! OK, rant over. Thank you for the motivation, Stephanie!!!!
Since you said perfume is one of your obsessions and it's mine too, I really wish you'd do a perfume collection sometime. I always want to know what other women have in their stash!
I know this video is so old but I just purchased this bag in the micro. I've worked hard as a college student, worked at ULTA (full time summer/part time school year) as well as at a racecar shop during nights and weekends. But then last spring of 2016 I almost died in a wreck and was in the hospital for a month... My legal things finallly settled and I'm extremely grateful. I just bought the micro in black drummed leather as my present to myself for being a fighter and a survivor. But now after buying that, back to my workin girl grind now that I'm able bodied and recovered from a year long recovery process. Girl power!!!
I'm also studying Pharmceutical sciences and doing concentrations in cosmetics/topical treatments to try to get my foot in the door of the chemistry side of the beauty industry. You are like my idol!!!
Can't say I expected a pep talk when I went to watch this video, but I want to say saw it at the right time. I'm currently looking for a job since I graduated university a few days ago. Thanks for that.
Loved your intro!! I needed that, you have no idea! Sometimes you feel like nobody supports you and after hearing you talk I´m motivated to try anything in my power to achieve success, happiness and love. I love your pep talks!!
Yesssssss! I hear ya girl..didn't have a lot of money growing up. We were immigrants. I worked hard for my stuff. Realized I was the only one who was gonna get me what I wanted. You are my favourite😘
What a terrific little vid! Never apologize for a great bag, is my motto. If I was still a working gal I would totally rock the mini Celine for sure. Now retired, I am enjoying using a scaled down size bag whether it's a crossbody or handle. I love the suggestion for all those minis that seem to breed like crazy and usually go into one giant kit. I think I will set up a little to-go makeup bag with them for each of my handbags. If you've never watched a RUclipsr called Sophie Shohet then I encourage you to, she has the same sort of sensibility and vibe where she mixes certain high-end with store brand and just makes it look amazing.
Haha I love your personality! You're so straight forward. And this pep talk was amazing! I love how you said " the more you say you can't you won't. Once you say you can you will." Cause I've always followed that. Your bag is beautiful btw ☺️
I think it was really cool of you to mention that everyone CAN get a bag if that is what they most want. To be ambitious - as well as have your priorities straight. Much respect for that
I watched your swatch video of the 38 matte lipsticks and thought wow I like her she seems so genuine. And after your intro. I'm like yasss! Lol love how positive you are and real.
I just recently found your channel and you are one of the best RUclipsrs I've ever watched. I absolutely love everything about you and your videos. I respect you so much for your strength and independence and I just want to say thank you for being such a fantastic role model for women! #GirlPower
Goodness the python handbag is soooo lovely! I agree! I’m 40 and what I have now compared to what I had in my 20’s! I own my home now and have come so far from then. And yes I have everything I want and need. Always have! Everything comes to us when we chase what we want or need. Life is what we make of it. Look inward and not outward. Wanting things that others have and sending that energy out confuses your true energy release of your hearts desires! Anything conceivable by the mind is possible so keep yourself in check. Things will come to you when you are in the right place at the right time. Your energy needs to be on the same path as what your will is. This is how you can manipulate how things work in life. Keep your spirits up and full of love for what others have achieved. Sooner than later you will look back and have an abundance of blessings to look upon. Be grateful for all lessons hard and easy ones! They teach us many things! Know everything your desire is an action away! Every action has a reaction. So... do you and have fun, with kindness and help others on your path! Enjoy!!! Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🍽🍁
love love love love your sunglasses turned into prescription glasses. I would love to have cat eye glasses as well ; & i love the style of those too , so i will looking at tom ford. love the video! you're absolutely gorgeous.
Loved ur video, the bag has never been one of my favourites I prefer the phantom but I'm glad u enjoy it and I loved what u said at the beginning of ur video.
Stephanie, thank you so much! When I heard what you said about our dreams, That we need to work hard you inspired me more😝love your channel❤️and ur bag is amazing😻
Omg. I have both sunglasses exactly, which I've had fora few years now. And I don't get why you're not getting more from RUclips. Your informative, knowledgeable, smart, and most important Honest! You give people facts and you don't blow smoke up anyones ...😏. I know this is an older video but I'm pretty knew on following people on RUclips and I'm on a mission to watch all your videos. 👌🏻👌🏻
Even though this is super old, it was a recommended video for me today! Glad I caught it, I love these videos and your videos in general (absolutely LOVE your recent video with your mom!). Your emergency kit inspired me to throw some stuff together from a bunch of deluxe samples I have. I also had a total nerd moment when you said you were reading Stephen Hawking! ❤️
Love what you said about wants vs needs, so true. You can have whatever you want if you work hard for it. Loved the real talk. Just sub to your channel.
Your lipstick looks amazing!!!! Which is it? The Tom Ford frame looks amazing on you! (A black and white photo with red lipstick and those frames would be mind blowing!!!) Your videos always inspire and motivate me! I am, and will continue to work hard for everything that I want! You are by far the most relatable person in my life! Lots of love, always!
I'm obsessed with sunglasses too; I don't what it is, but something about a great pair of sunglasses really makes me feel like a million bucks! And somehow cooler than I actually am lol!😂I'm pretty frugal with clothes, but when it comes to sunglasses, hats, & especially artisan jewelry, I have no issue splurging! Way I see it, good jewelry will outlast me & you can wear it every day!
Since I knew my boyfriend would NEVER buy me a designerbag, I bought it myself. I really stood out in that boutique in Amsterdam. I was wearing jeans, worn down sneakers and a big coat, my hair looked like shit (rain) and I was standing in the middle of (Russian) women dressed like a million euro's, with inflated lips and zero wrinkles (botox) and their daughters who looked bored af. But I walked out of that boutique with the bag of my dreams, I payed for it myself and till this day, I'm still happy when I use it. :)))
Seriously tho I own many dooney and bourke bags and just the other week I got two which was bad :/ but I walked into marshalls and I saw a bag from a far and I fell in love I go up to it pick it up and I just had to have it lol it was $20!!! I was like yesss! In my cart! I can appreciate a well made bag and that right there was it. I've been using it none stop and I usually switch bags everyday! Btw this bag is nice!! The colors are gorge!!
Omg!!! I love your opening apart. It's nice every once in awhile to buy a designer bag.. But there also nothing wrong with a $30 bag from marshal's either. Love your bag btw 😀
Thank you for this generous and amazing bag tour!! I've been wondering about that bag after a faves video where you demo'd a leather care product to remove denim transfer. I couldn't help but smile when you pulled out that wallet, though. It's *very* organized. Something I am not. I would still find a way to lose about 500 things in it.
I go to that TJ Maxx every time I need to see my doctor because it's right around the corner. Just got two Bite Beauty Holiday sets for super cheap. I love that place.
U are Awesome!! I am so for girl power too! I haven't been able to buy that kind of bag yet, but I'm climbing up the ladder. I'm blessed to have been able to upgrade from only affording under $50 bags to now $500 bags, and usually go for the least exp ones. I ❤️❤️ the wallet! Oh and I enjoyed your tony robins pep talk 🙂
You are quite an inspiration. So many could learn so much from you. I do the same with Sephora point minis. 95% of the time, their samples do not cater towards me so I only use my points for the good perks, that NARS one you got, YSL, MUFE, Laura Mercier. HEH heh!
Does the Apple Brand Leather Cleaner/Conditioner cause discoloration to colored leather like pink, yellow, etc? Can it remove denim transfer stains? Also, can it be used on patent leather? Sorry for all the questions! I'm totally clueless on what good leather cleaner I should use & am scared to damage my bags. Love your channel girly~ xoxo
love that Lodis wallet. wish they still had that gorgeous snake version. they still have these on the Lodis website but they don't call them wallets, they call them clutches. there's a medium size and a large size clutch with kiss lock closure. the large size looks exactly like yours, I might just pick one up one of these days :)
I can't believe you aren't getting paid more from RUclips you have such a professional, genuine and well researched!
....
I skip intros since others just ramble, but your intro was riveting and inspirational.
Natureally Jenius
I LOVE that you say "need" vs "want." Excellent. We do not "need" bags. Love it. LOVE your whole train of thought. And you should never have to justify what you own. We don't need anyone to do anything for us!

Your a strong, smart independent person. This is why I watch your videos :)

Please perfume!!! Love ya! Jane

I am OBSESSED with the Tom Ford sunglasses that you had switched to regular ones!! They are amazing, such a good idea!!
Ashley Galerie Thank you Ashley!

Go girl! I cringe when I hear girls ask their bfs or husbands to buy them stuff. No shade directed at them, I would just NEVER.
im so obsessed with every makeup look u do - this red lip rocks
I love this bag!! I'm lusting over a navy blue Celine Handbag. Thank you for the positive pep talk!!
Love the empowerment pep talk in the front. Great job!
Yes wonderful pep talk! Love you and your channel so much!! So refreshing to have found such an in depth, thorough, and genuine youtuber🙏🏽😊❤️

Thank you for the healthy approach on things. Most youtubers are so shallow it's ridiculous! You rock!
+Becky Dickaso thanks for watching & for your kind comment Becky!
Stephanie Nicole thank YOU for the videos!
I was a bit on the fence before, but I'm convinced now, the Celine Mini Luggage is for me. Thanks for the video!

I think it was really cool of you to mention that everyone CAN get a bag if that is what they most want. To be ambitious - as well as have your priorities straight. Much respect for that

Well said, everything you said is so true, material things are wants not needs, and you have the power to do anything you put your mind too.

Ha.! Love it.! That's why I subscribed lol
I love the mini speech you made. I love luxury purses and I want to own one someday. And I want to be proud for earning it.
Love your Tom Ford glasses & purse!!!
Can I ask where you got your desk and chair from? Thanks. Love your video 💕💕
Omg!!! I love your opening apart. It's nice every once in awhile to buy a designer bag.. But there also nothing wrong with a $30 bag from marshal's either. Love your bag btw 😀
thank you so much for making videos you are such an amazing person
this is keeping it real. love it!
+Nur Atiqah Sulaiman Thank you

Love your great attitude 💖
yes girl power! i word hard also for my $$$ and i gifted myself with a lv.

I live in tucson!!! 💕. Never knew you used to live here(: I know this is an old video but I just saw it and had to watch it(:
Best! whats in my bag ;)
that red purse is so pretty.
U are Awesome!! I am so for girl power too! I haven't been able to buy that kind of bag yet, but I'm climbing up the ladder. I'm blessed to have been able to upgrade from only affording under $50 bags to now $500 bags, and usually go for the least exp ones. I ❤️❤️ the wallet! Oh and I enjoyed your tony robins pep talk 🙂
Your speech at the start is so fucking inspirational :D. You go gurl!
I totally agree! Work hard!!
Do the damn thing girl!! No hate, just jealousy hahaha. I will work so hard to be able to splurge on myself like this. Stephanie Nicole=goals
Loved the advice in beginning!
Your my inspiration for how i want to grow up and be like you , you seam so nice and caring and like a hard worker. girl power i live in AZ
You are quite an inspiration. So many could learn so much from you. I do the same with Sephora point minis. 95% of the time, their samples do not cater towards me so I only use my points for the good perks, that NARS one you got, YSL, MUFE, Laura Mercier. HEH heh!
you are a very beautiful positive person..sending all my friends to your channel❤❤
Does the Apple Brand Leather Cleaner/Conditioner cause discoloration to colored leather like pink, yellow, etc? Can it remove denim transfer stains? Also, can it be used on patent leather? Sorry for all the questions! I'm totally clueless on what good leather cleaner I should use & am scared to damage my bags. Love your channel girly~ xoxo
I love your taste in items!
omg hope this isnt creepy i just found your vids this mornin and i fell inlove with you lol!! love the blue raybans on you and im from az too
love that Lodis wallet. wish they still had that gorgeous snake version. they still have these on the Lodis website but they don't call them wallets, they call them clutches. there's a medium size and a large size clutch with kiss lock closure. the large size looks exactly like yours, I might just pick one up one of these days :)
Amen to that!!!!! This made me like you soooo much more haha and I effin love your Celine
❤️ thank you!
