Oh gosh yesss I finally stopped buying backups this year! I have a drawer of backup foundations that I bought on sale because it was my favorite at the time, but then my skin type changed when I started tretinoin and it doesn’t even work for me anymore! Lesson learned. You save more money not buying something than you do buying something on sale and never using it.
These are one of my favorite videos you do because even if I wind up choosing differently, you present your thoughts so cogently that I do often reconsider purchases I want to make. Then if I do go through with it, I feel better because I considered it, and if I don’t, I don’t have the “oh no what if I missed out” feeling either. And I definitely understand the “buying furniture to fill a space” thing-there is a strange pressure to have your house look perfect at all times, but I have started to love seeing how my home and my space changes as the years have gone on. We have been in our house for two years now, and looking back I’m so glad I didn’t purchase some of the things I was dead set on wanting!
Thank you so much for your kind words! That honestly means so much to me and I really appreciate you taking the time to watch. I’m glad you can relate about the house. There really is a weird pressure to have it filled with the right furniture but it can be such an investment and I’ve definitely made terrible impulse purchases in the past!
I stopped buying back ups of makeup, but I do have extra toilet paper, paper towels, cleaning products, and some foods with a long shelf life that we eat often. Love this video and your channel. Glad you had a good vacation with family❤❤❤
Thank you so much for your kind comment! That means so much. 💗 Toilet paper is always a good one to have on hand- especially after the shortage during the pandemic! I agree with you on cleaning supplies too. I wasn't keep a lot of back ups on hand but I just ran out the other day in the middle of cleaning the shower, right when I was in the middle of a cleaning mood- which never happens! 😂
Agree about food delivery! I personally hate the thought of my food getting cold en-route when I could get it more timely and SO much cheaper. I use food delivery maybe once per year.
I loved this! These are the type of things I've been trying to do for a few years; REALLY look at the stuff I have and think if I need a new one or there are things I can cut back. I've never gotten a massage, so I can't tell. However, my sister gets one from time to time and loves them. She did say the first ones were kinda awful afterwards, 'cause they leave you in pain, but the more you get them, the more those pains dissapear. I do have to mention she’s super stressed, so her muscles had like big knots, lol. Probably why it hurt to get the massages. I love Audible, however I've noticed that I have to concentrate while listening to a book. I just can't do other things while at it, 'cause then I'm like 'what did the say?' and have to go back, lol. I find it more relaxing when I close my eyes and listen, or I'm doing something monotonous.
Omg I LOVE nassages. Over half my spine is fused, and I have a very rare connective tissue disease, so my back is constantly painful and locked up. The deeper and more painful the massage, the better. I love getting up off the table and being able to actually turn my head. Intense deep tissue nassages are my FAVORITE. I've never had to ask for lighter pressure- most of the time, I ask for *more* pressure. Lol. I do love a good pedicure, too.
Oh wow! It sounds like they really make a difference for you! I've only thrown my back out once and it was the most painful thing so I can't imagine have to be in constant back/neck pain.
Same about home workout equipment. I got some stuff during covid and it just collects dust; it always did. I realized recently I, too, need the accountability of commitment! I stopped personal training a number of months and am now realizing it was the worst decision for my personal health. Professionally I won't miss a meeting, and I just treat those like a meeting. Plus, I still got on other days so they see me working on my own moving OUR successes for me forward.
I can relate to what you're saying SO much! I never miss a date when it comes to work commitments so I think that's why working out with a trainer resonates with me too. I had stopped for a few years and just started again in May. It's been tough to back into it after taking so much time off but the accountability does make such a difference.
I love this video you do every so often! It makes me take a step back and think about unnecessary things as well! The only backup I ever really buy is skincare, and that is only if I’m running low and Ulta or Sephora has a sale on it..Other than that, nope I stopped a long time ago😂I personally can’t handle clutter, it will drive me crazy until I clean it up! You don’t realize things you buy, just to buy it, until it it’s making a clutter mess! You really bring a lot into perspective with this video Andréa, great job👏👏
Thank you for your kind comment! I really appreciate you taking the time to watch! 🥰 I understand the skincare purchases because it's so nice to be able to get go-to products on sale! I sometimes do that during the VIB sale, especially if I'm going to end up repurchasing it in a few months!
The Ulta fragrance sampler is now the biggest rip off for the fragrance kits. It used to be $29 and came with a voucher for a free travel size perfume for whichever fragrance you liked best. Now it’s $35 and only a $15 dollar coupon?! That’s just unacceptable.
I have one backup of each of my skincare products but not makeup. I've stopped buying eyeshadow palettes because there's only so many colours in the world and I think I've got them all!
Haha I understand! I've cut back so much on eyeshadow palettes. I can't believe how many I used to add to my collection every year, even as someone who reviews makeup. It really got out of hand!
I got lash extensions ONCE many many moons ago and never got them again. My lashes were almost fully gone after. I had 3 lashes in total left on my left eye. I’ll never forget that. Aside from that they weren’t convenient for me and were always in the way when I tried to do eye makeup. It totally interfered with my creativity and that’s just a no no for me 🥺 They really were NOT for me 😭😞
😭😭 The loss of lashes after extensions is real. And I don’t know if it’s just me but my lashes took forever to grow back! I agree with you on interfering with creativity too. I felt like I could never do a full eye look with them!
I'm a bit opposite, ive given up trying new things in a lot of categories. But, im at a stage when my skin doesnt change much, and a lot of my routines are set the way i like them after decades of testing things out. I do like that i can stock up on a lot of things, because i dont want to think about kleenex, my favorite fruit snacks, my tinted moisturizer, or my brow gel lol. Even my clothing is built around just 3 outfit formulas, and i wear a cardigan or a hoodie nearly every day of my life lol😂 That said, i try to never stock up more than 12 months, i saw my mom let it get out of hand and a lot of things were wasted because they just got too old. I like to spend less time thinking about shopping and choosing items, more on using them in fun, tasty, or creative ways, depending on the thing.
Two things i stopped buying were The ordinary skincare, because as many things as I tried, I just found it hard to grab things that didn't break me out. I know purging is a thing, but i think trying to combine them made my face worse. Also, foundation, for similar reasons. I kept trying to find the right undertone, and the right formula that'd look nice throughout the day and don't break me out...and I just gave up. I have one concealer that's a good shade, and I just use that for spot concealing, or if i want something hire coverage, I use a bit all over my face. Would I like to find a foundation or even a tinted SPF that works? Sure, but I'm tired of spending money on ones that don't and hating them as I try to use them up.
i buy backups of certain products i adore or need ie soap, skincare, sunscreen, favourite makeup, food etc. especially when on sale. i don’t think it’s wise to hoard backups though as preferences can chance and products can expire if kept for too long. but it makes me feel at ease knowing i have a spare of the moisturiser i use and so on. things i don’t buy anymore include makeup wipes to remove makeup, physical scrubs for the face and clay masks. these things never really did anything for me and i have better alternatives now, like micellar water and chemical exfoliants. also feel the same with waterproof mascaras and glittery highlighters. and at-home exercise equipment! 😂 i also can’t work out at home. the gym or doing some sort of sport or activity outdoors is where it’s at. i’ve also stopped with magazines as well. there’s so much content to read online anyway. i didn’t know lash extensions were so damaging to the lashes! i’ll definitely avoid them. tbh i do think massages can be worthwhile if you enjoy them and feel that they benefit you. i adore them and would go every week if i could 😂 but if they’re not for you then definitely don’t waste your time and money on them.
It’s so smart not to upgrade electronics just because you feel like you should. My husband works in electronics repair, and they do great work. And he has said that the iPhone models after 11 are poorer quality and it’s extremely expensive to fix the screens. I’ve actually had my iPhone 8+ for over six years now! My husband replaced the battery last year, and it’s working great. He’s currently working on my laptop that I bought 10 years ago! It just needed some hardware upgrades to run the more recent versions of Windows. I think my iPad is seven years old now. There were a few years, back around 2010, where I was having to replace at least one device every year. Pro tip: find a local, trustworthy electronics repair shop. If they can’t fix your device (or if it’s cheaper just to replace it), they can give you good advice on what to replace it with, since they know what models have the most/worst problems.
Wow that is so interesting and honestly just really good to know! It's really crazy to think back because I used to upgrade my phone every year and I never noticed much of a difference and to think the quality has been going down is helpful to hear. Thank you for sharing these tips!
We like the same kind of highlighter. I recommend the INN Beauty Face Glaze. Of course, I use it as a highlighter, but I enjoy mixing it in with foundation or cream blushes. On less make-up days, I prime my cheeks with it and apply blush on top so the color does not get into pores. Also good as a lid primer. So versatile and lovely any way you use it.
Love tubing mascara. I think it’s made my eyelashes so much healthier. I have samples of other mascara that have just come with purchases and I never use them.
Yes! Actually now that you mention it, I feel like tubing mascaras have helped my lashes grow a little bit longer. The removal process just seems a lot more gentle overall!
I love these videos. I also start thinking what stuff I'm just buying because of an influencer said it's good. Now I'm trying to use what I have, declutering clothes, shoes, home stuff, people 👀 and meditate what I really need 👍🏻
I don't buy bottled drinks in general! I like water and home brewed coffee. I don't buy paper towel, I just use old rags. I can't get my nails/lashes done due to allergies. The money I save, I use on gardening.😅
Thats awesome! I tried to go completely PT free, but I'm low on rags and for sanitary purposes, i dont wash all dirty rags (dog's 💩, mold, etc), however, i use up the PT slowly now, by relying on rags most of the time. I was about to start cutting up old clothes when i realized they are quite saleable, so will have to wait for rags to replenish lol.
@@standdownrobots_ihaveoldglory it's so true that with animals, it makes things a little trickier. I had a roll that lasted a few years for the odd time my cat got sick.
@@AndreaMatillano Thank you! My advice is to start small. You could get some tulip bulbs and pick a spot around your yard. Little ones love helping out with that, which is a bonus.
I am the opposite when it comes to work outs! When I moved out of an apartment and bought my house, I got a gym membership for me and my husband. While we kept each other accountable because we wanted to get our money’s worth, we talked and noticed that both of us prefer to work out at home (and didn’t care about the other amenities at the gym). So we bought gym equipment and go to a local place for swimming and tennis occasionally when we feel like it.
I stopped using trips/vacations as a reason to buy a bunch of clothes! I live in Texas, if I'm going to Florida--I already have clothes for hot weather! 🙄lol. Also, something I'd like to do kind of related to welcome mats--getting a wreath or each season, but timeless ones I truly love that I could use for many years. I think reusing seasonal decor as a whole is a good idea. ✅
I actually like exercising at home but I totally get that the gym is handy as well. I am guilty of buying backups but have cut way down, I only buy repeats of single eyeshadow pans and only if it's a shade that gets used constantly. Sometimes I will buy backups of lip products because there are really only a handful that I like and use, I don't have a big assortment of those so have bought the same one multiple times.
I do buy back ups. But I'm very particular about what products I buy back ups for. For example: things like shower gel, deodorant, hairspray, cleansing oils, things I actually use up on a regular basis and I use every day. When my favorites are on sale, I buy them, even if I'm not yet out of it. But make up and perfume I don't buy in back up, because it takes forever to finish, and by the time I do finish something, I usually want to go for something else. I do always have one mascara open and one in back up, so that's the one exception. Skincare that I use every day, I do buy again just before I run out, so I don't run out, but I also don't have it around for weeks before I open it.
That's a good mindset! I feel like it's nice to be able to get your staples for a discount, especially because some things like skincare can be pricey! I just ran out of my hairspray in the middle of doing my hair yesterday and I was wishing I had actually purchased a back up! 😂
I’ve been doing the same thing since the beginning of 2020. I cut my hair and my boyfriend’s hair. I also enjoyed pedicures, but I was always disappointed with how they carelessly paint my nails so I’ve been doing my own pedicures and I learned how to use gel polish so I can do my own manicures. Also I vowed to stop buying decorative seasonal pillows because they’re a pain to store and my pile of holiday decorations is getting ridiculous. I also stopped buying conditioner and only use a hair mask because my hair is just that dry. lol Less bottles in the shower.
I used to spend like £350 on my hair getting full head highlights, bayalage and then keratin treatments. I stopped doing that, and just get a simple hair cut now. My hair is still recovering from the bleach damage but hair and also tons of hair care products was what I used to waste a lot of money in, I would have tons of each category, like a haircare graveyard in my bathroom. I also stopped getting hard gel nails, I used to spend a lot getting Japanese vetro hard gels which would last weeks on end, but because they need to be drilled off I was in a cycle of keeping returning to the salon to get a new set.
I feel like that about nails too! There was a time I would go get them done regularly and I loved it so much but I felt like I wasn't able to just take a break when I wanted to because I ended up getting another set. I kind of feel like I'm in the same cycle with press on nails right now so I would love to just take a break fully and stick to regular nail polish for a little while! I just wish it lasted longer. 😅
I've never used the delivery apps. I can understand doing it when it's too difficult to leave the house, but it is so expensive. I've always been a person to pick up the food myself, and throw in a small tip for the workers. Not as much as I would with delivery, but most of the jobs in food service just don't pay well, and it seems they get my stuff ready faster and take better care if I just throw in a couple of bucks.
It's very true! I used to work as a hostess in college and we were in charge of packing to go orders and it was such a pleasant surprise when someone left even a small tip!
I am that way completely! Makeup just goes at night with the money you spent on it. Drugstore is just so much better. And I have always been frugal. And I love to thrift. You are so sweet and smart! Love your videos and your views on life. One of the best videos! Here's what I do with cooking...if it's something that I really like, then I make extra and freeze.
Thank you for leaving such a kind comment! That's so sweet of you. That's a great tip about freezing food for later! I honestly need to do that more often because there are so many days where my husband and I just don't want to cook or even have to think about what to make for dinner.
I only purchase a fragrance sampler if I *know there is at least one perfume in the set that I would otherwise buy, and is a good value (i.e., less than it would cost at retail). If you can get an additional 15-20% off, that makes it even better. This way, the other samples are just bonus testers IMO: you are really paying for the full size and getting a great discount. With this approach, you know you’re going to be happy with the purchase, and maybe you’ll discover another amazing scent.
I am SO guilty when it comes to welcome mats... I have one for every season haha. That's my one guilty pleasure. I've never really purchased back ups of makeup products because I love trying new things too much 😅 I do buy back ups of certain home items like toilet paper, Q-Tips, etc. I don't order food anymore, it was getting too crazy working from home and being too lazy to drive to get it. I actually deleted my DoorDash account permanently so I'm not even tempted! I also don't color my hair anymore and haven't gotten acrylic nails in over 2 years. It was such a waste of money for me cause I would just rip them off like a week later! I've noticed as I get older, I spend a lot less money on "fun" stuff and am more inclined to invest in quality products I can use for a long time. I'm just grateful that I'm not into TikTok cause I feel like I would want to buy all the viral products on there lol
Kind of random but I no longer buy stiletto heels! I will get wedges occasionally but can’t deal with the back pain from stilettos anymore after having my two kids.
I feel comfort is a key factor in my shoe purchases these days too. 😂 I was never a sneaker person but I’ve been appreciating them more now that I’m chasing a toddler around everywhere!
We’ve been buying soda a lot less because we love sparkling water! And it’s so much less sugar so it’s a win win! Occasionally we will still do a traditional soda but much less often.
I used to drink soda almost non stop and around 6 to 7 years ago I found Propel water and I love it! I had been searching for a way to drink more water (whether that was sparkling water or some other flavored water) but none of the ones I'd tried up to that point were ones I could stand drinking for very long. I now drink Propel berry flavor but they have tons of flavors to choose from. You can get it in the bottles or in a box of 10 packets that you use to flavor the water you already have. Just a thought, if you're looking for a way to drink more water.
Oh iTunes music is a good one! I used to purchase so much music back in the day. 😭 I agree on brow pencils too! The drugstore does brow products so well. Thank you for sharing! 💗
Tubing mascara doesn’t last on me when I get in the water. I love it for very hot days and for the gym, but it would fall out in the pool and the beach. But I agree, it’s my favorite mascara formula for all the other occasions.
Just some thoughts on massages that might help you. I don't know if you have any autoimmune conditions like fibromyalgia or EDS (or really anything else that might be affecting your perspective on the massage)? The reason I mention this is because I have fibromyalgia and some other things (possibly also EDS) but these things make it hard for me to enjoy a massage with a normal massage therapist. I've had to find a special massage therapist who knows how to give a massage to someone who's been injured or has any special needs. They are out there and as long as they know what they're dealing with... you should get the massage you want! Good luck and I hope it's wonderful! Big hugs, k
I used to be bad with candles. Don’t get me wrong, if I could afford it I’d have candles burning in every room, but they’re SO expensive! Every time I went into a store I bought a candle. And I kept upgrading to better more expensive ones. It got out of hand. So now I light one in whatever room I’m in and burn it mindfully.
My Grandson is 4 years old now and we buy the Velcro Walmart shoes. He loves them and he can put them on himself. We will start buying lace shoes at some point next year but, he just isn’t ready to tie his shoes just yet. Besides, Walmart has some cute dinosaur or light up shoes. And, I agree with you about a facial over a massage!
I do backup’s of body, hair, laundry pods, and bathroom tissue, so I’m never out of one thing, living with 2 siblings they would wait till it’s empty then won’t replenish their stuff then start in on mine, my son won’t repurchase say laundry pods when he’s close to running out, he will wait till there’s none left then when he’s ready to do laundry h will see he doesn’t have any, have no money, it’s so frustrating 😂
Those are some good categories to keep back ups on hand because it is the worst when you run out or someone else runs out and then they take your products! 😂😭
really loved this video !! i’m going to be 20 in february and will be moving out next summer, so while i don’t relate on some things (having a kid HAHA) this was really good insight!! a good guide to adulting LOL
Thank you for taking the time to watch! I really appreciate it! It can be overwhelming to move out on your own for the first time but it's also so much fun so I hope you have the best summer adjusting to everything!
I have way too many backups of blush I'll probably never use. I could resell them as they're still new and discontinued, knowing someone is out there looking for their discontinued holy Grail.
The MOST significant sign of growing up and maturing is the fact that you realize we DON’T have to buy extra and (at the end of the day) unnecessary stuff. ❤
I also don't get massages because if they use a lot of pressure the I get very ticklish and if they use a low amount of pressure I get TOO relaxed, fall asleep and then snore - loudly - and thats just embarrassing
I am in that zone also. No need to buy backups. Buy it when needed it. planning to use up everything up first. Now that I only wear make up just two days a week, don’t need all the extra sitting at my drawers.
Yes! I think I've always underestimated how long it takes for me to use products up fully because I would buy back ups and then it would take me years to get to them!
I buy backups of feminine products, rollerball fragrances, body washes, face cleansers, shampoo & conditioner, hair relaxer, lip balms, razors, nail polish remover, makeup sponges, meds, cotton pads, hair gel. I like to have backups of different foundations too.
Those are some good categories! Honestly, it's the worst running out of razors right when you need one! I feel like I always forget to buy those and then I use the same one for too long.
Omg I have twin 3 1/2 yr olds and I only buy 2-3 pairs of shoes for them. Because my son's feet grow so quickly. Luckily his sister has so many because hers don't grow as fast. And clothes too! He's in 4t and will outgrow that any day. I mainly buy comfy clothes for them and only something special for holiday events. And I still manage to reuse that too
Oh my gosh twins! I can imagine how many clothes and shoes you need to buy! 😅 I agree with you. I just bought my son some new clothes for fall and I went with all sweatshirts and sweatpants because comfy clothes are the best!
@@AndreaMatillano lol too many clothes and shoes. I've been trying to thrift or buy from others that had kids because new clothes gets so expensive especially for two. And it just doesn't last them long since they grow so quickly 😭
Haha I understand! I think it feels better when you finally get that upgrade and it's been a few years because the changes are so much more noticeable!
I think I'm the only person that hates tubing mascara😅! I've always just worn regular mascara, even through sports and stage performances. Plus, I live in the south lol! I have oily skin, and some of them smudge on my brow bone, but most don't. Tubing mascara never stays on me, it smudges and flakes like crazy! And then it's so hard to remove. I don't get it! I like regular mascara that dries down and locks in. I remove it with the Garnier pink micellar water.
I only buy backups of true staples like cleaning supplies, toiletries, or my fav shampoo or skincare. I don’t like running out. I stopped doing it for hair treatments specifically because I’m always finding new products I want to try then I like them better 😂
I can definitely relate! We ran out of bathroom cleaner the other day right when I was in the zone, which doesn't typically happen when it comes to cleaning. 😂 I feel like that when it comes to makeup too! I think I love to try more things rather than always sticking to the same products over and over!
I have never done lash extensions, but I am tempted to get my eyebrows microbladed. I feel like that is the one thing that makes the biggest difference on our face if we are not blessed with nice ones.
I'd love to get my brows microbladed, but I think I'm just not a good candidate. I have eyebrows so light blond they're almost white, and there's ALOT of them. I think it would just look like a tattoo with hairy white eyebrows on top of it, and I'd have to dye and wax all the time even though I had microblading, so what would be the point. *sigh* So, I just continue dyeing and waxing.
@@sherrimiller5951 what a bummer! The hairs I have do have color. I suppose that will change when they get gray....oh boy. Then I will be in the same situation as you.
Ugh, I can't deal with massage beds, either. Laying on my stomach is so uncomfortable to me. The chair and just hitting my shoulders, though, that is nice. I'm just really specific about what I want the times I've had a massage. Literally just shoulders, neck and upper back. Anything else is not relaxing to me.
YES! Laying face down is seriously just so uncomfortable no matter what I do. I didn't even think about the fact that there are massage chairs! That is a good alternative!
I don't buy backups with the exception of products I use up regularly AND I'm running low on the current one - if there's a deal like 2 for 1, I'd get 2. If there's a deal on but I don't need it, I won't buy it. I went through a phase of buying loads of backup until I realised I don't have the space for it and I don't want to spend money just because I can.
That's a good mindset! I think it can be really helpful to get things you're already going to buy for a discount but I agree with you on the space too. I don't have a lot of storage in my house so it's a good way to me in check from buying too many things!
I stopped buying backups of make up. I found 2 extra Dior foundations in my stash! Extra Laura Mercier, Nars foundation. I must be nuts. What was I thinking?I buy extrs toilet paper, but no morr make up
Oh my gosh I can definitely relate! Tell me why I had like four back ups of my favorite liquid liner and brow pencil? I knew I could end up repurchasing it when I needed it but I really had a phase where I had an entire drawer of back up products!
I def do NOT buy the latest Apple products. I did buy a new MAC 🖥️ last year but my used one I had before that was a 2011 model that finally crapped out. My iPhone 13 Pro Max is going to have to crap out before I will buy another one. My MacBook 💻 is my daughters used one from 2017; it still works good.
I have never used a food delivery service. Your right too expensive. I love furniture. I have gathered it over the years. I never get my nails done anymore. Have a great week ❌️ ⭕️
It’s so interesting how it really differs for people! I wish I could work out at home consistently, especially on those cold winter days when I don’t want to leave the house! 😂
the last spa treatment I had for mother's day as you said I find a massage really uncomfortable so I opted for a treatment where they use hot stones I told the girl it was burning and she said it will in the begining cos your not used to it which was a fair point by the end of it I had burnes on my back it was late Friday night on Saturday I ended up in a &e I complained to the actual spa and they wanted to give me a voucher which I declined had to go to trading standards I'm in the uk to get a refund and report them I'd never go to a spar or have a massage at any time agree totally with not buying back up's I always end up giving them away I used to buy dipers if on offer when my daughter was a baby you know it's going to be used I still will with cleaning products toiletries and some food stopped years ago with gym memberships I do it at home and I just don't get any memberships of anything stopped years back I am going to try audible tho been interested for a while I keep forgetting xx
Oh my gosh! I'm sorry to hear you had such a terrible experience with the hot stone massage! I can imagine that it would have been so painful but it's crazy they didn't even listen when you said it hurting. I appreciate you sharing some of the things you no longer buy!
This isn't a review video, just a different type of chatty video so I don't usually feel the need to keep things as concise as I do when I'm talking about products! 💗

Lesson learned. You save more money not buying something than you do buying something on sale and never using it.
Yes! That is such a good statement at the end. I’ve done that so many times with makeup. Now I know how fast my preferences and favorites can change!

Agree about food delivery! I personally hate the thought of my food getting cold en-route when I could get it more timely and SO much cheaper. I use food delivery maybe once per year.
Yes! It’s so true. It always ends up being cold and there’s always something wrong with the order. 😂
I loved this! These are the type of things I've been trying to do for a few years; REALLY look at the stuff I have and think if I need a new one or there are things I can cut back.
I've never gotten a massage, so I can't tell. However, my sister gets one from time to time and loves them. She did say the first ones were kinda awful afterwards, 'cause they leave you in pain, but the more you get them, the more those pains dissapear. I do have to mention she’s super stressed, so her muscles had like big knots, lol. Probably why it hurt to get the massages.
I love Audible, however I've noticed that I have to concentrate while listening to a book. I just can't do other things while at it, 'cause then I'm like 'what did the say?' and have to go back, lol. I find it more relaxing when I close my eyes and listen, or I'm doing something monotonous.
Omg I LOVE nassages. Over half my spine is fused, and I have a very rare connective tissue disease, so my back is constantly painful and locked up. The deeper and more painful the massage, the better. I love getting up off the table and being able to actually turn my head. Intense deep tissue nassages are my FAVORITE. I've never had to ask for lighter pressure- most of the time, I ask for *more* pressure. Lol. I do love a good pedicure, too.
Oh wow! It sounds like they really make a difference for you! I've only thrown my back out once and it was the most painful thing so I can't imagine have to be in constant back/neck pain.
Same about home workout equipment. I got some stuff during covid and it just collects dust; it always did. I realized recently I, too, need the accountability of commitment! I stopped personal training a number of months and am now realizing it was the worst decision for my personal health. Professionally I won't miss a meeting, and I just treat those like a meeting. Plus, I still got on other days so they see me working on my own moving OUR successes for me forward.
I can relate to what you're saying SO much! I never miss a date when it comes to work commitments so I think that's why working out with a trainer resonates with me too. I had stopped for a few years and just started again in May. It's been tough to back into it after taking so much time off but the accountability does make such a difference.
I love this video you do every so often! It makes me take a step back and think about unnecessary things as well! The only backup I ever really buy is skincare, and that is only if I’m running low and Ulta or Sephora has a sale on it..Other than that, nope I stopped a long time ago😂I personally can’t handle clutter, it will drive me crazy until I clean it up! You don’t realize things you buy, just to buy it, until it it’s making a clutter mess! You really bring a lot into perspective with this video Andréa, great job👏👏
Thank you for your kind comment! I really appreciate you taking the time to watch! 🥰 I understand the skincare purchases because it's so nice to be able to get go-to products on sale! I sometimes do that during the VIB sale, especially if I'm going to end up repurchasing it in a few months!
The Ulta fragrance sampler is now the biggest rip off for the fragrance kits. It used to be $29 and came with a voucher for a free travel size perfume for whichever fragrance you liked best. Now it’s $35 and only a $15 dollar coupon?! That’s just unacceptable.
They never work
Wow that's a major change! I feel like the least they could do if offer the voucher for the travel size, especially at that higher price tag.
I have one backup of each of my skincare products but not makeup. I've stopped buying eyeshadow palettes because there's only so many colours in the world and I think I've got them all!
Haha I understand! I've cut back so much on eyeshadow palettes. I can't believe how many I used to add to my collection every year, even as someone who reviews makeup. It really got out of hand!
I got lash extensions ONCE many many moons ago and never got them again. My lashes were almost fully gone after. I had 3 lashes in total left on my left eye. I’ll never forget that.
Aside from that they weren’t convenient for me and were always in the way when I tried to do eye makeup. It totally interfered with my creativity and that’s just a no no for me 🥺
They really were NOT for me 😭😞
😭😭 The loss of lashes after extensions is real. And I don’t know if it’s just me but my lashes took forever to grow back! I agree with you on interfering with creativity too. I felt like I could never do a full eye look with them!
God, are you me? I found them to be super annoying and after a week didn’t look good anyway. So expensive! Ripped almost all my lashes out…
I'm a bit opposite, ive given up trying new things in a lot of categories. But, im at a stage when my skin doesnt change much, and a lot of my routines are set the way i like them after decades of testing things out. I do like that i can stock up on a lot of things, because i dont want to think about kleenex, my favorite fruit snacks, my tinted moisturizer, or my brow gel lol. Even my clothing is built around just 3 outfit formulas, and i wear a cardigan or a hoodie nearly every day of my life lol😂 That said, i try to never stock up more than 12 months, i saw my mom let it get out of hand and a lot of things were wasted because they just got too old. I like to spend less time thinking about shopping and choosing items, more on using them in fun, tasty, or creative ways, depending on the thing.
Tubing mascaras are amazing! My favorite is the Thrive Causemetics one!
I need to try that one!
Love you Andrea!! Thanks for all the content. I appreciated everything you do. Have a blessed week.
Two things i stopped buying were The ordinary skincare, because as many things as I tried, I just found it hard to grab things that didn't break me out. I know purging is a thing, but i think trying to combine them made my face worse. Also, foundation, for similar reasons. I kept trying to find the right undertone, and the right formula that'd look nice throughout the day and don't break me out...and I just gave up. I have one concealer that's a good shade, and I just use that for spot concealing, or if i want something hire coverage, I use a bit all over my face. Would I like to find a foundation or even a tinted SPF that works? Sure, but I'm tired of spending money on ones that don't and hating them as I try to use them up.
i buy backups of certain products i adore or need ie soap, skincare, sunscreen, favourite makeup, food etc. especially when on sale. i don’t think it’s wise to hoard backups though as preferences can chance and products can expire if kept for too long. but it makes me feel at ease knowing i have a spare of the moisturiser i use and so on.
things i don’t buy anymore include makeup wipes to remove makeup, physical scrubs for the face and clay masks. these things never really did anything for me and i have better alternatives now, like micellar water and chemical exfoliants. also feel the same with waterproof mascaras and glittery highlighters.
and at-home exercise equipment! 😂 i also can’t work out at home. the gym or doing some sort of sport or activity outdoors is where it’s at.
i’ve also stopped with magazines as well. there’s so much content to read online anyway.
i didn’t know lash extensions were so damaging to the lashes! i’ll definitely avoid them.
tbh i do think massages can be worthwhile if you enjoy them and feel that they benefit you. i adore them and would go every week if i could 😂 but if they’re not for you then definitely don’t waste your time and money on them.
It’s so smart not to upgrade electronics just because you feel like you should. My husband works in electronics repair, and they do great work. And he has said that the iPhone models after 11 are poorer quality and it’s extremely expensive to fix the screens. I’ve actually had my iPhone 8+ for over six years now! My husband replaced the battery last year, and it’s working great. He’s currently working on my laptop that I bought 10 years ago! It just needed some hardware upgrades to run the more recent versions of Windows. I think my iPad is seven years old now. There were a few years, back around 2010, where I was having to replace at least one device every year. Pro tip: find a local, trustworthy electronics repair shop. If they can’t fix your device (or if it’s cheaper just to replace it), they can give you good advice on what to replace it with, since they know what models have the most/worst problems.
Wow that is so interesting and honestly just really good to know! It's really crazy to think back because I used to upgrade my phone every year and I never noticed much of a difference and to think the quality has been going down is helpful to hear. Thank you for sharing these tips!
We like the same kind of highlighter. I recommend the INN Beauty Face Glaze. Of course, I use it as a highlighter, but I enjoy mixing it in with foundation or cream blushes. On less make-up days, I prime my cheeks with it and apply blush on top so the color does not get into pores. Also good as a lid primer. So versatile and lovely any way you use it.
Love tubing mascara. I think it’s made my eyelashes so much healthier. I have samples of other mascara that have just come with purchases and I never use them.
Yes! Actually now that you mention it, I feel like tubing mascaras have helped my lashes grow a little bit longer. The removal process just seems a lot more gentle overall!
I love these videos. I also start thinking what stuff I'm just buying because of an influencer said it's good. Now I'm trying to use what I have, declutering clothes, shoes, home stuff, people 👀 and meditate what I really need 👍🏻
I don't buy bottled drinks in general! I like water and home brewed coffee. I don't buy paper towel, I just use old rags. I can't get my nails/lashes done due to allergies. The money I save, I use on gardening.😅
I love that so much! My husband and I keep saying we want to get into gardening but I always get overwhelmed when thinking about where to start!
Thats awesome! I tried to go completely PT free, but I'm low on rags and for sanitary purposes, i dont wash all dirty rags (dog's 💩, mold, etc), however, i use up the PT slowly now, by relying on rags most of the time. I was about to start cutting up old clothes when i realized they are quite saleable, so will have to wait for rags to replenish lol.
@@standdownrobots_ihaveoldglory it's so true that with animals, it makes things a little trickier. I had a roll that lasted a few years for the odd time my cat got sick.
@@AndreaMatillano Thank you! My advice is to start small. You could get some tulip bulbs and pick a spot around your yard. Little ones love helping out with that, which is a bonus.
I am the opposite when it comes to work outs! When I moved out of an apartment and bought my house, I got a gym membership for me and my husband. While we kept each other accountable because we wanted to get our money’s worth, we talked and noticed that both of us prefer to work out at home (and didn’t care about the other amenities at the gym). So we bought gym equipment and go to a local place for swimming and tennis occasionally when we feel like it.
I stopped using trips/vacations as a reason to buy a bunch of clothes! I live in Texas, if I'm going to Florida--I already have clothes for hot weather! 🙄lol. Also, something I'd like to do kind of related to welcome mats--getting a wreath or each season, but timeless ones I truly love that I could use for many years. I think reusing seasonal decor as a whole is a good idea. ✅
Primers and regular mascara, liquid or black eyeliner. . I always use waterproof to hold the curl. 😊
I totally agree with you and find facials more relaxing than messages.
I actually like exercising at home but I totally get that the gym is handy as well. I am guilty of buying backups but have cut way down, I only buy repeats of single eyeshadow pans and only if it's a shade that gets used constantly. Sometimes I will buy backups of lip products because there are really only a handful that I like and use, I don't have a big assortment of those so have bought the same one multiple times.
Thanks for this video. It’s very helpful indeed!
I’m so glad! Thank you so much for watching! 🥰
I do buy back ups. But I'm very particular about what products I buy back ups for. For example: things like shower gel, deodorant, hairspray, cleansing oils, things I actually use up on a regular basis and I use every day. When my favorites are on sale, I buy them, even if I'm not yet out of it. But make up and perfume I don't buy in back up, because it takes forever to finish, and by the time I do finish something, I usually want to go for something else. I do always have one mascara open and one in back up, so that's the one exception.
Skincare that I use every day, I do buy again just before I run out, so I don't run out, but I also don't have it around for weeks before I open it.
That's a good mindset! I feel like it's nice to be able to get your staples for a discount, especially because some things like skincare can be pricey! I just ran out of my hairspray in the middle of doing my hair yesterday and I was wishing I had actually purchased a back up! 😂
I’ve been doing the same thing since the beginning of 2020. I cut my hair and my boyfriend’s hair. I also enjoyed pedicures, but I was always disappointed with how they carelessly paint my nails so I’ve been doing my own pedicures and I learned how to use gel polish so I can do my own manicures. Also I vowed to stop buying decorative seasonal pillows because they’re a pain to store and my pile of holiday decorations is getting ridiculous. I also stopped buying conditioner and only use a hair mask because my hair is just that dry. lol Less bottles in the shower.
I used to spend like £350 on my hair getting full head highlights, bayalage and then keratin treatments. I stopped doing that, and just get a simple hair cut now. My hair is still recovering from the bleach damage but hair and also tons of hair care products was what I used to waste a lot of money in, I would have tons of each category, like a haircare graveyard in my bathroom. I also stopped getting hard gel nails, I used to spend a lot getting Japanese vetro hard gels which would last weeks on end, but because they need to be drilled off I was in a cycle of keeping returning to the salon to get a new set.
I feel like that about nails too! There was a time I would go get them done regularly and I loved it so much but I felt like I wasn't able to just take a break when I wanted to because I ended up getting another set. I kind of feel like I'm in the same cycle with press on nails right now so I would love to just take a break fully and stick to regular nail polish for a little while! I just wish it lasted longer. 😅
I've never used the delivery apps. I can understand doing it when it's too difficult to leave the house, but it is so expensive. I've always been a person to pick up the food myself, and throw in a small tip for the workers. Not as much as I would with delivery, but most of the jobs in food service just don't pay well, and it seems they get my stuff ready faster and take better care if I just throw in a couple of bucks.
It's very true! I used to work as a hostess in college and we were in charge of packing to go orders and it was such a pleasant surprise when someone left even a small tip!
Can you do a video about your hair routine? I'm really curious to know how you curl it to get those waves.
Yes for sure! I can definitely film one!
I am that way completely! Makeup just goes at night with the money you spent on it. Drugstore is just so much better. And I have always been frugal. And I love to thrift.
You are so sweet and smart! Love your videos and your views on life. One of the best videos! Here's what I do with cooking...if it's something that I really like, then I make extra and freeze.
Thank you for leaving such a kind comment! That's so sweet of you. That's a great tip about freezing food for later! I honestly need to do that more often because there are so many days where my husband and I just don't want to cook or even have to think about what to make for dinner.
I only purchase a fragrance sampler if I *know there is at least one perfume in the set that I would otherwise buy, and is a good value (i.e., less than it would cost at retail). If you can get an additional 15-20% off, that makes it even better. This way, the other samples are just bonus testers IMO: you are really paying for the full size and getting a great discount. With this approach, you know you’re going to be happy with the purchase, and maybe you’ll discover another amazing scent.
Oh interesting that is a really good tip! I didn't even think about that but it makes so much sense!
I am SO guilty when it comes to welcome mats... I have one for every season haha. That's my one guilty pleasure. I've never really purchased back ups of makeup products because I love trying new things too much 😅 I do buy back ups of certain home items like toilet paper, Q-Tips, etc. I don't order food anymore, it was getting too crazy working from home and being too lazy to drive to get it. I actually deleted my DoorDash account permanently so I'm not even tempted! I also don't color my hair anymore and haven't gotten acrylic nails in over 2 years. It was such a waste of money for me cause I would just rip them off like a week later! I've noticed as I get older, I spend a lot less money on "fun" stuff and am more inclined to invest in quality products I can use for a long time. I'm just grateful that I'm not into TikTok cause I feel like I would want to buy all the viral products on there lol
Kind of random but I no longer buy stiletto heels! I will get wedges occasionally but can’t deal with the back pain from stilettos anymore after having my two kids.
I feel comfort is a key factor in my shoe purchases these days too. 😂 I was never a sneaker person but I’ve been appreciating them more now that I’m chasing a toddler around everywhere!
@@AndreaMatillano yes I totally get that!! My clothes and shoe preferences have changed quite a bit since having kids!
We’ve been buying soda a lot less because we love sparkling water! And it’s so much less sugar so it’s a win win! Occasionally we will still do a traditional soda but much less often.
It's definitely a good alternative! My husband is a big soda drinker so it's always a win when he finds a good sparkling water he loves too!
I used to drink soda almost non stop and around 6 to 7 years ago I found Propel water and I love it! I had been searching for a way to drink more water (whether that was sparkling water or some other flavored water) but none of the ones I'd tried up to that point were ones I could stand drinking for very long. I now drink Propel berry flavor but they have tons of flavors to choose from. You can get it in the bottles or in a box of 10 packets that you use to flavor the water you already have. Just a thought, if you're looking for a way to drink more water.
Nail polish, ITunes music 🎶, door dash, name brand mascara and brow pencils, pedicures, dog grooming.
Oh iTunes music is a good one! I used to purchase so much music back in the day. 😭 I agree on brow pencils too! The drugstore does brow products so well. Thank you for sharing! 💗
Tubing mascara doesn’t last on me when I get in the water. I love it for very hot days and for the gym, but it would fall out in the pool and the beach. But I agree, it’s my favorite mascara formula for all the other occasions.
Yes! I usually wear mascara to the gym because I feel like I have no lashes and it really is the only formula that stays in place the whole time.
I prefer the hot stone massages bc the pressure is light. I am in a lot of pain with too much pressure as well.
Oh interesting I don't think I've ever tried a hot stone massage! That's good to know!
I LOVE Audible! Massages stress me out too😂😂😂😂
Great Video Andrea Matillano
💗💗
Just some thoughts on massages that might help you. I don't know if you have any autoimmune conditions like fibromyalgia or EDS (or really anything else that might be affecting your perspective on the massage)? The reason I mention this is because I have fibromyalgia and some other things (possibly also EDS) but these things make it hard for me to enjoy a massage with a normal massage therapist. I've had to find a special massage therapist who knows how to give a massage to someone who's been injured or has any special needs. They are out there and as long as they know what they're dealing with... you should get the massage you want! Good luck and I hope it's wonderful! Big hugs, k
I used to be bad with candles. Don’t get me wrong, if I could afford it I’d have candles burning in every room, but they’re SO expensive! Every time I went into a store I bought a candle. And I kept upgrading to better more expensive ones. It got out of hand. So now I light one in whatever room I’m in and burn it mindfully.
Remember the shoes/clothes thing when he is a teenager. My son grows every month. I’m not kidding…it’s worse than the toddler years. 😉
Oh my gosh! 😬 I’m sure the teenage clothes and shoes are even more expensive too!
Back ups were a big one for me i now only buy a back up once the current product is at least halfway used up
That's a really good idea! I love that because it keeps things in check!
My Grandson is 4 years old now and we buy the Velcro Walmart shoes. He loves them and he can put them on himself. We will start buying lace shoes at some point next year but, he just isn’t ready to tie his shoes just yet. Besides, Walmart has some cute dinosaur or light up shoes. And, I agree with you about a facial over a massage!
Oh I love that so much! My toddler is going through a major dino phase so those sound like something he would love too!
I do backup’s of body, hair, laundry pods, and bathroom tissue, so I’m never out of one thing, living with 2 siblings they would wait till it’s empty then won’t replenish their stuff then start in on mine, my son won’t repurchase say laundry pods when he’s close to running out, he will wait till there’s none left then when he’s ready to do laundry h will see he doesn’t have any, have no money, it’s so frustrating 😂
Those are some good categories to keep back ups on hand because it is the worst when you run out or someone else runs out and then they take your products! 😂😭
Are you wearing ND I need a nude palette? Looks beautiful 😊
Yes! Thank you so much! 🥰💗
really loved this video !! i’m going to be 20 in february and will be moving out next summer, so while i don’t relate on some things (having a kid HAHA) this was really good insight!! a good guide to adulting LOL
Thank you for taking the time to watch! I really appreciate it! It can be overwhelming to move out on your own for the first time but it's also so much fun so I hope you have the best summer adjusting to everything!
it's crazy because I LOVE sparkling water!! i like to mix them in with juice to make them fuzzy and less sweet 😊
Oh that’s a good idea! 🙌 I’m going to have to try that now!
I have way too many backups of blush I'll probably never use. I could resell them as they're still new and discontinued, knowing someone is out there looking for their discontinued holy Grail.
The MOST significant sign of growing up and maturing is the fact that you realize we DON’T have to buy extra and (at the end of the day) unnecessary stuff. ❤
Sparking water and a good massage are my holy grails lol
I secretly want them to be mine. 😂
I also don't get massages because if they use a lot of pressure the I get very ticklish and if they use a low amount of pressure I get TOO relaxed, fall asleep and then snore - loudly - and thats just embarrassing
Oh my gosh I’ve definitely done that too. 😂💗
I am in that zone also. No need to buy backups. Buy it when needed it. planning to use up everything up first. Now that I only wear make up just two days a week, don’t need all the extra sitting at my drawers.
Yes! I think I've always underestimated how long it takes for me to use products up fully because I would buy back ups and then it would take me years to get to them!
I buy backups of feminine products, rollerball fragrances, body washes, face cleansers, shampoo & conditioner, hair relaxer, lip balms, razors, nail polish remover, makeup sponges, meds, cotton pads, hair gel. I like to have backups of different foundations too.
Those are some good categories! Honestly, it's the worst running out of razors right when you need one! I feel like I always forget to buy those and then I use the same one for too long.
Happy Wednesday Everyone
Hope you’re having the best week! 🥰
Omg I have twin 3 1/2 yr olds and I only buy 2-3 pairs of shoes for them. Because my son's feet grow so quickly. Luckily his sister has so many because hers don't grow as fast. And clothes too! He's in 4t and will outgrow that any day. I mainly buy comfy clothes for them and only something special for holiday events. And I still manage to reuse that too
Oh my gosh twins! I can imagine how many clothes and shoes you need to buy! 😅 I agree with you. I just bought my son some new clothes for fall and I went with all sweatshirts and sweatpants because comfy clothes are the best!
@@AndreaMatillano lol too many clothes and shoes. I've been trying to thrift or buy from others that had kids because new clothes gets so expensive especially for two. And it just doesn't last them long since they grow so quickly 😭
That’s funny that you mention upgrading your phone, I just upgraded mine today but it had been like 4 years so I thought I deserved it lol
Haha I understand! I think it feels better when you finally get that upgrade and it's been a few years because the changes are so much more noticeable!
I think I'm the only person that hates tubing mascara😅! I've always just worn regular mascara, even through sports and stage performances. Plus, I live in the south lol! I have oily skin, and some of them smudge on my brow bone, but most don't. Tubing mascara never stays on me, it smudges and flakes like crazy! And then it's so hard to remove. I don't get it! I like regular mascara that dries down and locks in. I remove it with the Garnier pink micellar water.
I'm the same as you Andrea re: external accountability. All you've said sounds exactly like me. So interesting.
I only buy backups of true staples like cleaning supplies, toiletries, or my fav shampoo or skincare. I don’t like running out. I stopped doing it for hair treatments specifically because I’m always finding new products I want to try then I like them better 😂
I can definitely relate! We ran out of bathroom cleaner the other day right when I was in the zone, which doesn't typically happen when it comes to cleaning. 😂 I feel like that when it comes to makeup too! I think I love to try more things rather than always sticking to the same products over and over!
I am definitely trying to buy less perfume. I have a pretty big collection, same with lip gloss(i have way too many).
heavy on the perfume sampler sets! they’re almost always never worth the money.
I’m glad it’s not just me! Sometimes I feel like the samples are even too small to get a good idea of whether or not you love the fragrance!
I stopped buying hair styling tools! I hate doing my own hair and I accumulated so many hair tools.
I knocked it off with the backups too. Like I'll be in a store again.
😂 This is so accurate. I don't know why my brain tells me I can't just go and repurchase the product again when I need it!
I have never done lash extensions, but I am tempted to get my eyebrows microbladed. I feel like that is the one thing that makes the biggest difference on our face if we are not blessed with nice ones.
I'd love to get my brows microbladed, but I think I'm just not a good candidate. I have eyebrows so light blond they're almost white, and there's ALOT of them. I think it would just look like a tattoo with hairy white eyebrows on top of it, and I'd have to dye and wax all the time even though I had microblading, so what would be the point. *sigh* So, I just continue dyeing and waxing.
@@sherrimiller5951 what a bummer! The hairs I have do have color. I suppose that will change when they get gray....oh boy. Then I will be in the same situation as you.
My mom just got hers done and it really had me thinking about it! It made such a difference and she loves not having to fill them in every morning.
@@AndreaMatillano I'm tempted again! Lol!
Ugh, I can't deal with massage beds, either. Laying on my stomach is so uncomfortable to me. The chair and just hitting my shoulders, though, that is nice. I'm just really specific about what I want the times I've had a massage. Literally just shoulders, neck and upper back. Anything else is not relaxing to me.
YES! Laying face down is seriously just so uncomfortable no matter what I do. I didn't even think about the fact that there are massage chairs! That is a good alternative!
Oh Andrea! I have a nice treadmill that I use for a while then stop for a long time. I wish I’d never bought it 😊
I don't buy backups with the exception of products I use up regularly AND I'm running low on the current one - if there's a deal like 2 for 1, I'd get 2. If there's a deal on but I don't need it, I won't buy it. I went through a phase of buying loads of backup until I realised I don't have the space for it and I don't want to spend money just because I can.
That's a good mindset! I think it can be really helpful to get things you're already going to buy for a discount but I agree with you on the space too. I don't have a lot of storage in my house so it's a good way to me in check from buying too many things!
I keep a waterproof mascara to wear to therapy appointments, in case I cry. 😂
I stopped buying backups of make up. I found 2 extra Dior foundations in my stash! Extra Laura Mercier, Nars foundation. I must be nuts. What was I thinking?I buy extrs toilet paper, but no morr make up
Oh my gosh I can definitely relate! Tell me why I had like four back ups of my favorite liquid liner and brow pencil? I knew I could end up repurchasing it when I needed it but I really had a phase where I had an entire drawer of back up products!
you cannot pry sparkling water out of my cold, dead hands!!
I def do NOT buy the latest Apple products. I did buy a new MAC 🖥️ last year but my used one I had before that was a 2011 model that finally crapped out. My iPhone 13 Pro Max is going to have to crap out before I will buy another one. My MacBook 💻 is my daughters used one from 2017; it still works good.
me and my bf drink sparkling water more than regular water 😅 we went through 2 12-packs in 1 week lol
Great video. Lol exercise equipment! Turns into a clothes wrack in my house.
There's currently a few shirts on my bike right now. 😂
I have never used a food delivery service. Your right too expensive. I love furniture. I have gathered it over the years. I never get my nails done anymore. Have a great week ❌️ ⭕️
I have to have the exercise equipment at home. I won't bother to go to the gym. But if it's at home, I'll use it.
It’s so interesting how it really differs for people! I wish I could work out at home consistently, especially on those cold winter days when I don’t want to leave the house! 😂
I have iPhone 14 plus was tempted by iPhone 15 plus pink
The pink one is so cute! I hope they keep doing that one so when I finally do upgrade I can get it. 😬
❤
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch!
Girl, every point I was like: yes, yes, yes 😅
💗💗
Omg I feel the same way about liquid eyeshadow. I hate them. 😂
I'm glad it's not just me! I alway think I'm going to love them but then I don't!
@@AndreaMatillano me too they are so disappointing and they always turn out patchy or too translucent and weird on me
My welcome mat says, "Go Away!!"
I am so much better at not buying backups now.
I don’t buy perfume period because I am allergic.
the last spa treatment I had for mother's day as you said I find a massage really uncomfortable so I opted for a treatment where they use hot stones I told the girl it was burning and she said it will in the begining cos your not used to it which was a fair point by the end of it I had burnes on my back it was late Friday night on Saturday I ended up in a &e I complained to the actual spa and they wanted to give me a voucher which I declined had to go to trading standards I'm in the uk to get a refund and report them I'd never go to a spar or have a massage at any time agree totally with not buying back up's I always end up giving them away I used to buy dipers if on offer when my daughter was a baby you know it's going to be used I still will with cleaning products toiletries and some food stopped years ago with gym memberships I do it at home and I just don't get any memberships of anything stopped years back I am going to try audible tho been interested for a while I keep forgetting xx
Oh my gosh! I'm sorry to hear you had such a terrible experience with the hot stone massage! I can imagine that it would have been so painful but it's crazy they didn't even listen when you said it hurting. I appreciate you sharing some of the things you no longer buy!
Buying things because they’re on sale or a good value.
Sparkling water is disgusting and people need to stop pretending it's good.

This isn't a review video, just a different type of chatty video so I don't usually feel the need to keep things as concise as I do when I'm talking about products! 💗
