Thanks for another thoughtful and insightful video, Val! The more I watch your videos, the more I enjoy your chill perspective. Your calm and accepting vibe is really heartening.
Now, I really want to sit down and create a wardrobe plan for this year. I have made several purchases on vacation, but these were items I planned to buy at a shop I visit each year in Tarpon Springs...I wear alot of items from there and needed to replace a few things. Thanks for the encouragement to plan my wardrobe.
Thanks for the great video! I am doing no buy year and so far I have not had any temptations. I have too many piece of clothing, shoes and bags, so those are on my no buy list. Take care! 🌼
Well said that it’s better that we make healthy resolutions and do them for a month then not at all. Sometimes people get cynical and say what’s the point to make resolutions? No one sticks to them. Well, the point it’s better to do something then nothing at all. ❤
I love your videos Val! ❤ they always seem so intentional and it is clear you stand by and practice what you are sharing. thank you for another inspirational video!
@@ValKovalchuk so far it is! The writing is great, the characters and setting are compelling...the fantasy element is pretty complex and confusing but I am about 1/3 through and I think I'm finally getting the hang of it 😆
I find February a good month for challenges tbh - it's short, here in Europe the sun is coming back so more time for walks outside, and spring is just around the corner. For financial challenges it's great, especially if you get paid on a monthly basis, because you will still have your same monthly income, but then 3 days less of food spending, or gasoline if you drive a car...
Very nice Video, so relaxing to watch. I accidentally did a nno buy January as well, I think one of the reasons is that in December, there is a lot of shopping, thinking about gifts, buying them and getting gifts as well, so in January it's nice to pause, for me it happened automatically somehow... I was happy with what I got, for my self and as gifts so there was no need somehow to add something new... This year I want to work on my mindset about "its so nice to get something new" and reduce my shopping as well. Last year I tried to find my style, some things I bought I'm really happy about but others don't work so well for me, I reflect right now why and how to change that without overbuying. I think this year woll be a low buy for me. I really like your videos and find them so helpful, so happy that I found you! 😊
hmmm... i live in the UK... not sure if all here hear the same when people say "how much items" ...but to me this feels related to the cost... the word "much" feels like a value.... and "how many clothes" feels more like the number of items. "Many" as in multiple. I really needed to say this... it has had my mind in a tiz!!! Feeling cute and very weird hahahah xoxoxox
I had intentions to not buy anything in January and well I was not successful 😢 I will be very busy mid March and all of April I have a practicum for school so I’m hoping being a busy bee 🐝 will help me to reset my shopping and buying habits! ❤
Yes! All this! Keep busy with other passions xoxxox .... ( I bought, paint, ski trousers, thermal leggings, a scarf and three silky shirts from a charity shop to test them all out tehe) Thanks Val
Hi Val! Thank you for another great video. Since you're talking about tracking your clothes, do you have any experience with a wardrobe app like Whering? Nice recipe! 😋
@@ValKovalchuk First I should declutter because I don't want to put energy into digitizing things that I won't keep for long. But I definitely plan to use it. Their stats seem especially interesting to me.
I planned a low buy. However, a few pieces on my wish list appeared 🙄 So I am back on track again this month. I read recently that the average person buys 56 items of clothing per year! That horrified me. I certainly do not come anywhere near that amount. I have been writing down all of my purchases, which I've found, has kept me in check, with no spontaneous purchases.

Yes I agree! Did you have any resolutions this year?
Would love a video on your favorite books or what you read in a month.
Maybe I'll include that in one of my next videos! 🥰
Hi Val.
Your tuna bowl looks delicious.
Would be interested to see a what I eat in a day video.
Thank you🌻
Thanks Carolyn! 🥰

Thank you so much! ❤
I love your tip about reading! I am obsessed with reading. I'm currently in the middle of Legendborn by Tracy Deonn
Ooh I haven't read that yet, is it good?

Yes, that's so true! 🥰
The self care ideas were timely. Winter can be hard being stuck inside due to ice and snow. The salad made my mouth water.
It was so good! Maybe Ill make it for lunch today again 😅
I love your videos 💞
Thank you so much! 🥰
Thank you for great ideas !
❤😊
You're welcome! 🥰

I'm currently about to embark on my very own wardrobe plan x
Love it, good luck! 🥰

No I've never heard of it! Do you use it?

56 sounds like so much, but i can totally see how if you don't track what you are buying, it could add up to that in the end 😬
The recipe looks so good!! Will try! Do you think canned salmon will work?
Yes, I think that would taste good too!
@@ValKovalchuk ❤️
I rather flip stocks to earn extra money. I have Etsy and EBay stores for side income. Hopefully RUclips revenue soon.
Great video ❤❤❤
