someone tell jack that 'today i wore a cardigan and had a salad' vlogs are the BEST type of vlogs
your sustainability talk reminded me of something my mom said once which has really stuck with me, which is “meal prep is just gentrified left-overs” we really have lost track of some of our best habits and have now had to “reinvent” them through consumerism
Thats so funny 😂
😂👌
Okay, but can we please get the "today I wore a cardigan and had a salad" as an official slogan to be added to the Moon merch, bc that's the kind of energy I'm here for as a consumer.😂😂
I will WEAR that hat x
i thought the same thing hahahahaha, it would be so funny
I agree with your point on true sustainability when it comes to our attitude towards consumption. However, it’s more complicated when it comes to producing products, for example garments. They could be made in the most ‘sustainable’ way but if the garment workers aren’t treated and paid fairly, it’s not true sustainability IMO. Most fashion brands exploit garment workers and not enough influencers speak out and turn down brand deals on account of it.
Every ever lane sponsorship ever.
Yeah, sadly the treatment of garment workers or those on the production end of goods, is still not as widely discussed in the sustainability conversations. Too much emphasis on just environmental impacts
AGREED
Every h and m sponsorship
@@Lolathebluesmartie FR! @zainab.slow.fashion in Instagram did a great post on H&M recently :)
The dramatic “I need a head massage” moment is so so relatable 😂
your friend ordering a whole christmas dinner when y'all just ordered fries is MEEEEE
Little tip for plant milk in coffee and tea - heat it up in the microwave for about 20 seconds first then it doesn't split :)
omg you lifesaver
As someone’s who’s been dairy free since long before oat milk was a thing you could buy in supermarkets: This is 100% the reason why I got into drinking lattes cause it was the only way I could drink almond milk in coffee, otherwise I’d have it black !
Also I know Lucy has almond because she’s gluten-free, but if that’s not a requirement for you then oat milk doesn’t curdle and is creamier so also froths better when you steam it (hence why it’s become so popular over last few years)
@@SyndieSimon thank you :) I have been vegan for years so I am definitely an oat milk head! But this tip is so handy for when you are on holidays, or can only get to certain supermarkets or you only have access to the cheap brands. When I was a student having to buy cheap plant-based milk was miserable, this tip would have saved me! Same with times I have been on holidays
@@pennylola123 yep exactly! :) holidays are a nightmare when it comes to food requirements - having said I could really do with one round about now, even if that means black coffee and salad for a week haha
So I’m sat at 3am in the middle of a 12 hour night shift on my break watching this. It’s made my entire evening! I don’t know what it is but something about this video was so refreshing & real and I loved it, Lucy! I think it just made me calm and excited for the world slowly opening up again and it’s great to see that you’re feeling like you’re somewhat back to normal ☺️
My mum is very savvy when it comes to minimising wastage and reusing materials. Part of it is because she came from a poor background, so she really appreciates the value of things. I have learnt so many tips from her! Now in the current age, things are so easily accessible and can be ordered in one click. I'm definitely thinking twice about my shopping habits these days, like buying a book full price from the local shop, rather then discounted on Amazon. Yeh I could have saved some money, but it's less packaging, delivery miles etc. and also supporting a local business.
yeah, it's so hard unlearning all the bad lessons consumerist society has instilled in us! 😅 learning to embrace delayed gratification is so important i think.
i feel like that's why camping feels so therapeutic to me, it forces me to fully appreciate the simplest things, like warmth and food, and all the other noise fades away.
Gosh Lucy, I've been watching you for years and years and years and these 168 hours vids have just always been the most inspiring content to me! Please never stop making them!
I want to thank you soooo much! Thanks to your videos I have very chilled sundays. Your videos are in the background, while I'm sitting in my bed, looking for some plants and dried flowers for decor, drinking matcha latte and just enjoying my lovely time. Love your channel and wishing you all the best
I agree with you that previous generations may have been less wasteful in some ways (but actually quite terrible in others I wanted to add) and thus more sustainable in their consumer choices. Not sure that holding on to cardboard boxes vs reducing the amount of flying (on holidays) is a more sustainable choice. But I agree with the sentiment you’re making and think it’s great you’re trying to raise awareness to the topic 👍🏻👍🏻 #pleasedonthate
this is such a great comment :) this is how you critique someone fairly.
100% I hear you! There’s a lot to learn from the older generation about how to do things but also what to avoid doing!
I liked your thoughts on sustainability like yeah man do we not remember our parents saying turn off the lights if you're not in the room, stop running the tap while brushing your teeth or washing dishes, my mum also had a really big thing about wasting food
168 hours - hands down my favourite kind of videos!! :)
I can't explain it but this video gave me so much hope
as soon as you said "throwback breakfast" my brain screamed "BANANA AND PEANUT BUTTER ON TOAST!!" so i was pleased to hear that i was 2/3 correct 😂
I totally agree with your sustainability comment! I lived with my grandma throughout university, and I learned SO MUCH just from seeing how she never wasted anything and truly took care of everything she owned (maintaining and repairing.) She was never satisfied with any products or appliances that didn’t last her AT LEAST 10 years. Recycling isn’t something she started doing recently, but is a habit she’s had her whole life. She’s also super responsible with disposing of chemical waste or old furniture/electric appliances (things no one warned me of or taught me how to take care of.)
Idk I don't think many of us have lost that sustainable behaviour you were talking about. Maybe it just depends on how you were brought up but I save all the packaging I get and reuse it/repair clothes instead of throwing out because my mum always did that. Our parents didn't live in such a consumerist world though. Ordering online wasn't really a popular thing accessible to many people and even with cars and stuff not as many people owned one. So I think it's only natural that we have to do more than our parents did i.e. avoiding fast fashion (especially the big brands that ship from abroad like shein or romwe bc they're so low quality the clothes aren't likely to last very long) and reducing our meat consumption. Ofc only doing what's within your means financially.
omg i love your saturday look! the pinned back hair, the earrings, the black top + jewellery
This is the perfect Sunday chill and unwind kind of content I needed. Also you made me buy the white linen dress from your spring wardrobe edit!
Seeing Jenn on this channel
Loved this vlog so much Lucy, you're such a joy to watch! Here in Canada we are still in a hardcore lockdown in my area, so I am living through you a bit in this video, I feel you so hard with the missing of friends and family.
Thoughts on sustainability...I think it all comes down to just thinking more critically about things. My parents save and reuse quite a bit more than me, but they are also constantly buying things that they don't need just because they are discounted, rather than living more minimally like I do. I suppose it's a give and take. My partner's parents immigrated here, and we've often encouraged them to let go of all the "things" they've hoarded over the years, but I recently had to take a step back and realize what a privilege it is to declutter, to feel comfortable knowing that if I need something again in the future, I will be able to easily access it. We take so much for granted!
Aaaaaanyways. I don't think it's a straightforward answer and I think it's important to keep in mind that individualism is a bit of a distraction technique when it comes to environmentalism. But I love all the thoughts you are having and the small changes you are making in your life!
Love the content as always.
This is a really good point - my parents are also BOGOF people! And completely agree with you, consistent pressure of governments and corporations really is the best way to effect change imo
My sustainability effort is to list things for free on Facebook marketplace or gumtree instead of bringing stuff to a charity shop where there’s a big chance it will end up in landfill. It’s super satisfying to give something to someone who actually wants it instead of dumping it all at a shop.
does charity shop stuff actually go to landfill??
@@pennylola123 they receive so much stuff that not everything gets sold, so there’s not many other options really. It’s just so easy to dump a load of old things at a charity shop and think you’ve done something helpful, when actually avoiding buying in the first place or being careful to hand on each thing individually ensures the longevity of the item, innit
As someone with celiacs, I totally know what you mean about Gluten free bread. HOW THE HELL IS IT SO EXPENSIVE? Plus it only tastes good as toast. And it has less fiber, and more sugar. So healty :')
haha I feel you so much for that "dramatic" moment, I'm glad you recognised it and slowed down bc sometimes I don't and it just feels too much. How did I miss you so much? what the heckk? sending love
Your jumper matching your mug makes all your different chaotic thoughts feel cohesive
I love how the hairstyle at 16:43 looks on you! It makes you look glowy and kind of ethereal with the outfit and everything
We have a sharing community in our town - moving boxes are always being passed around! I've really enjoy your vlogs, thank you for the honesty and your energy x
*Love your comments on sustainability* When you start actively seeing all the plastic surrounding ourselves it becomes very clear what for a mess we got ourselves (and others 🐠🐠) into
Luuuc! Coffee in the fridge is worse (cause of the condensation).
That black eyed pea salad looked very yummy!
Jack roasting you @ 13:05 has me rolling 😂😂
“I keep coffee in my fridge now like a responsible adult”
**immediately gets up and puts coffee in the fridge**
As an Italian and a coffee fanatic... keeping coffee in the fridge is a horrible idea, it creates condensation in it and makes it go gross, especially in the UK the pantry is an absolutely fine temperature for your coffee to be at 🥰
Also coffee absorbs smells so it will taste vile kept in the fridge 😬
ugh, i feel you on the subclinical hypothyroidism 😓 my levels were at about 6.5 for 2 years, so they finally decided to medicate me, so i was on levothyroxine for about a month and it felt INCREDIBLE...i can't describe it, just got hungry at the right times and wasn't constantly fatigued...but they took one last blood test the day they prescribed the drug, and it came back 4.5...which is the high side of "normal", so took me off the drug immediately 🙄 it's awful having a condition that is bad enough that it affects your everyday life, but not bad enough to fix. i feel ya 💖
That is so awesome! I was going to start medication this january after thinking about it for years so they ran tests to see where my levels were at and everything came back normal. Went for thyroid ultrasound and everything is fine (used to be enlarged). Go figure.
@@dace8828 congrats!! it's crazy hey, when my levels got checked after that ONE month of being on synthroid, my levels were down to 2, and a year later they still were! apparently sometimes all it takes is one round of hormones and it can fix it, they're not entirely sure why 🤷♀️ it's all a bit mysterious but i'm so glad it's worked out for you! 😊
I've been thinking about the sustainability thing too. Anytime I want to buy something I imagine my mums face when I show it to her. on our end, it's very hard to find affordable brands, that are actually doing their bit to be sustainable. A lot of my favourite items that I have had for years have come from cheaper brands or fast fashion companies, if fast fashion companies won't slow down, we can slow down by thinking more clearly about what we are buying. i don't know if that makes sense but my mum is very good at knowing what is a good purchase and what isn't, her generation didn't consume like we do and i think we should get that back.
Brain fog is a very common symptom of hypothyroidism. I used to have it really bad. To the point where i could not form a coherent sentence during a conversation
Hello from Finland. I have never bought cardboard boxes for moving. I have done most of my moves mainly using boxes that alcohol stores gets their vine in. 12 bottle boxes. (Also book stores might have good boxes. Some people ask banana boxes from grosery stores.) Even if I would pack up vine boxes full of books, they are not too heavy for me - the not so strong woman. Those shops are happy to give them away if they have not yet trashed them or given them to somebody else. They have been nice enough to even apologise (!) if they don't have any and asked me to call them before hand if I want to be sure to have some specific amount saved for me. ❤️ Got to love those people. They save money with smaller litter expences and other people can reuse their boxes, which saves them money and saves nature sources. ❤️
Same in Latvia. You can ask at a grocery store and they'll let you get whatever boxes they have near the bins. My mom needed somewhere to store apples do we got her sturdy fruit boxes from a shop in my area. Alcohol shops here even leave nice boxes near the till and anyone can take them. The reason i check with the security guard if it is ok is just common courtesy to make sure they know i am not trespassing or loitering
Those 501 jeans are so lovely on you!!
I'm feeling so chill and inspired now. Love love love this format, thanks Lucy 💕
i find it so interesting how you mentioned like hoarding boxes as top sustainability - as a fellow london renter do you find it frustrating trying to live sustainably in such small spaces? like its so hard to hold on to stuff like cardboard boxes which you KNOW you'll need again cos we are THAT low on space?
Oh god yes!! We found out we had a loft in this flat and it was like cherubs started singing lol
could you talk about what kind of workouts you like to do? love your vlogs so much! :)
I absolutely love your desk setup, having a desk right in front of a window is my dream! Great vlog by the way, I love your channel!
This vlog is so calm and full of spring vibes, you just made my Sunday😊🌞
There's something about the last chat bit in your kitchen that feels so lovely! Feels like waking up at your friend's house after a Saturday night and just laughing while you make coffee/breakfast. It looks like an ideal Sunday morning.
P.S. Coffee is actually best not kept in the fridge! I work for a coffee roaster, and we advise our customers not to keep their coffee in the fridge - it's likely to pick up the flavors of the foods around it and muddle its taste. You could keep it in the freezer until you're ready to use it (and then not refreeze again), but best storage for coffee that you are using consistently is actually just on the counter!(:
Ooh thanks for the heads up!
@@lucymoon Of course! 🥰
This was just pure joy to watch
Ughhhh this was the Sunday content I NEEDED! Never stop the chit chats Luc! ❤️💕
Your vlogs are therapy! loved this one! have a lovely week Lucy : )
That was such a great vlog, it just flew by 🌿🌿
it's not just you that vase is so pretty!
Seeing people going out with friends is so bittersweet. I'm happy for them and can't wait to do it as well. But in Germany we've been on lockdown for about 5 months and there's not really an end in sight. And also one person can only meet one household. So it's really isolating...
We had this for three months, and then two months before that on and off. I really feel for you ❤️
I really love the white blouse you had on in the beginning of the video!! 10/10 gorgeous!!!
The sustainable behaviours from our parents thought rang so true, like in my childhood we always had this huge tote bag full of other tote bags and we like never went shopping without one and I just copies that and never bought a plastic bag unless I forgot to bring a tote. Like, so normal.
That happens to your brain too?? I've been describing that same feeling, like something's covering my vision or mind, or like there's a wall in the front of my brain so none of my thoughts can get out. My friends and family have no idea what I'm saying.
it's like sludge brain 😑
it could be depersonalisation/derealisation
@@jennymcmahon4935 That would make sense in my case!
Could you tell us more about how you found out about your thyroid? What initially made you think to get it checked?
Hey, sorry to intervene 😁 i got checked because my dermatologist had me do full bloodwork to see where to get started with my skin. The results came back so bad i was sent to an endocrinologist on the spot. But generally symptoms include constant fatigue (there have been times when i physically can't get out of the bed), severe mood swings and anxiety is also one of them. But i also live in a country where thyroid problems are extremely common so a gp will usuually run the test just to how things are
@@dace8828 Ah brilliant, thank you for sharing your experience 🧡
box park at the end !! i've been there! this made me miss london so much
loved your flow and the chats in this vid!!
I miss London so much. seeing Boxpark made me ache. great content luc, as always
You should look the dry shampoo brush from Violette fr's new brand! It's called Frange Puff and looks like the best thing ever for a fringe😄
Especially in London, where apartments are small it's really hard to save things you might need in the future rather than throwing things out and just buying back when you need it. I try and save things, and have a lot of tools and materials for repairing things, but I'll be the first to admit our apartment is cluttered... Organised clutter, but it's definitely not a clean minimalist aesthetic, and I do feel uncomfortable inviting people over (when it was allowed :P).
All this to say, when space is at a premium, it practically, financially and socially makes sense to do some of these less sustainable practices.
Just wanted to let you know that hypothyroidism can be healed naturally through the diet, my mom healed this and stopped taking pills and all, no problems ever after that. The results from the tests were just getting better all the time so it was natural for her to do so. Medical Medium is great to check out for healing anything with food 🥰
broooo i’m so jealous, Ireland probably won’t get outdoor dining till ?? maybe June ? Living vicariously hahaha
this was lovely to watch :)
Mid-rise suits you so well!
You seem so happy on that morning clip, it's nice to see :) However (please someone tell me if I am wrong) but I think you're actually not supposed to put open coffee packs in your fridge, because the humidity of the fridge will make it bitter and go off quicker !
Okay, there were 3 ads in just 9 minutes of the video and it’s a bit much imo; but the video is lit! It’s just the breaks every 3 minutes that are quite frustrating.
Im only getting 3 ads for the entire 22 mins
Where is that mulberry colour cardigan from in the thumbnail?? It’s SO pretty
I am gluten free too! Totally agree, everything that is gluten free costs way more money
It's so hard to watch this.. here in germany it will be months until we can sit in a cafe again..hopefully at the end of summer
Don’t have tiktok so hope u post a vid with your Sézane purchases!
If housing wasn't so expensive, if we were able to live off one income, there would be space to save all the crap that is useful once every 10 years. However, a small apartment you simply cannot save everything just in case.
I love your videos Lucy
screaming at 'similar stuff to me but like a virgo would' because my aesthetic is literally lucy moon but virgo
LUCY TAKE THAT COFFEE OUT OF THE FRIDGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Coffee should be stored at room temperature, the fridge is too cold, it will lose taste, it will get condensation in it from the temperature change going in and out of the fridge, it will absorb all the smells in it, just no no no 😬
I love your videos ❤️❤️❤️
loveee!!!
I have to know where the pink cardigan is from!! 🥰
Hi Lucy, I'm looking for a new tripod that's just like the one you use in this video!
Would you mind telling me where it is from? xx
don't keep coffee in the fridge keep it in the freezer!!!! it'll stay fresh!! barista tip over here; fridge coffee gets damp and bad
Loveeee💕💕💕
Lucy, don’t think you have thyroid of an elderly lady 😉 so many women are diagnosed with thyroid-related conditions these days...
I actually was diagnosed with Hashimoto last year, unfortunately together with thyroid cancer and had to have half of my thyroid removed..
In the end it teaches you to treat yourself well, right?
Hi! Can someone tell me what kind of espresso machine is used in the video? Thank you
not to sound like a barista lol but you shouldn’t keep your coffee in the fridge!! cool, dark places are best to store your coffee, the fridge is a common misconception :)
I am your new subscriber from Afghanistan.
Hello what tripod did you use with your phone?
four quarters
I was just wondering where has Lucy gone
Woah, I’m just getting tested for thyroid! My mum has it and I’ve been having/going to doc for all the symptoms for years and years and finally broke down to the dr how I was feeling physically fuzzy and it made me scared to even go on a walk so I’m getting tested now.(at 27) I didn’t even know what symptoms were just that my mum took drugs for it 😂
But anyway what i was actually going to comment was that I drink cheap soya milk and what I do is put the coffee in the mug then a splash of hot water to mix it - then put the spoon in the sink and don’t touch it - then put the milk in the the rest of the hot water. Unless you have a fancy coffee machine then I don’t know how to help you.
I’ve watched your videos for years but didn’t know about your thyroid - obz was mentally blocking it out.
Well I’ll go back to watching your video now
Lucy: GF bread is usually $3
Me, an American: when the gf bread is $5+ 😭
Where I am (in Toronto, Canada), a loaf of GF bread is usually around $7-$8 😣
£3.55 is $5 just btw 😅
If you fine almond milk curdling a lot, you should try oat milk!! It’s a lot better for the environment than any nut milks or real milk as well
Im gluten intolerant unfortunately!
@@lucymoon Just a tip: I find heating the almond milk before I pour it into the coffee helps to stop it form curdling 😊
@@Nicole-zy4vb, at least in Finland they grind gluten containing grains at the same mills or at least same facility as oats. So any product with Finnish oats is not totally gluten free. :'( They might be able to say that they are "gluten free" but not get ok mark from celiac disease association, since even the tinyest amount of gluten can f**k up stomac and intestine of a person with celiac disease. :'(
I’ve tried a few GF oat milks and they’ve all been crap, it’s such a shame! I’m also allergic to some soy milks. So annoying
Ahhh I’m a teenager and I literally want to be you when I’m in my twenties!!!!
haha cute ❤
true sustainability is anti-capitalist :)
Hello lucy moon and have you thought about live streaming on twitch and starting your own podcasts and starting your own patreon account or onlyfans account in the future
