I wanted to add that whilst I’ve felt bad for purchasing from Temu, I don’t think badly of those who do. I would not judge where someone chooses to spend their money. Not sure why I judge myself so much for it! … I think probably because a few years back I had a whole zero waste - plastic free phase and whilst I’m far from that life now I still know everything I know about the impact on the planet and that information is just quietly set in the back of my mind judging me 🤦🏻♀️😅 I try my best with my impact but I’m not perfect and I know that’s ok, no one can’t be perfect and I wouldn’t expect anyone to be. So yeah, please know I’m not judging or thinking badly towards anyone who purchases from Temu or SHEIN or Amazon or any of the other sites that regularly get shamed 🫶
@@perkyplants ahh I could tell you meant no judgement! Just go easy on yourself! I’m sure it all balances out. I’ve had a few bits from temu & tiktok that I haven’t seen anywhere else. I had an anti primark -fast fashion phase & then I realised that the ‘good’ more expensive places were often as bad! Someone will always have an opinion but don’t let it go to heart ❤️ xxx
Amy, love your channel and your plants. Don't get worried around Temu, Amazon... we all sometimes buy things from there. I was diagnosed with adhd age of 6, I don't take any meds anymore, things are up and down, but you can achieve whatever your set your mind too❤ Don't ever let adhd to hold you back. Sending you tons of positive vibes 🪱
Feel okay about buying on Temu. I don’t always have the funds to support small business. I support where and when I can BUT we all work hard for our money and can choose where we spend it without guilt or apology. And lowkey some of these businesses are buying product from places like Temu. Love your vids and you’re pretty great! All the best!
I struggle with it too. It's like you know you're dealing with the devil but you can't help it. I've only ever order from there once but my friends do it all the time so every time I compliment something they say "I got it on Temu" and I cringe but also kinda want to see what is on there for me. *sigh*
You're a rock star 🌟 I love these long videos and appreciate you doing them. I wanted to tell you that I am neuro typical (I think), but I am definitely a bit eccentric 😆 I was also wondering if Steve (your husband) is neuro divergent or typical? How does he handle your ways? I would love it if you talked about your job and neuro divergence more on this channel (like during another repot). Hope you have a wonderful holiday season and don't feel stressed about decorating. You do it just the way and amount you want! 🎅❤️💚🎄🫶 edit- I forgot the 🪱 😂
I love Christmas and all that goes with it because I have 5 grandkids but the stress of the tree is nuts! My plants have taken over and I’m to the point that my Hoyas are more work than enjoyment. My orchids(that I’ve had for over 10 years) never had pests or any issues. Hoyas are either full of mealies, gnats, mites or thrips.. That darkness at this time of year is also adding to my stress. Thanks for sharing the repot and chat. The explanation is fantastic because a few of my grandkids have been diagnosed and it helps me to understand 🪱
Hi Petra! I bet 5 grandkids really do bring the magic of Christmas alive ✨ oh man, that sound super stressful. My Hoya collection has grown dramatically this year and if they suddenly had loads of pests I think I’d really struggle with them. I agree about the darkness 😣 And thank you, I’m glad what I said was helpful 🥰 please let me know if there’s anything else you’d like me to waffle on about 😂
🪱🪱🪱 I love these videos Amy especially when you talk all things neurodivergent, I couldn’t relate more and I’m learning so much about myself now that I’m recognising why I am that way! I have no friends and its something I’ve always struggled to maintain, I get what you mean about being a “version” of you for others. As I’ve told you before, we are so alike it’s crazy to watch and see all the quirks I identify with. I love all the bugs and skeletons etc too (not a fan of the 8 legged variety in fact I’m terrified but love the little jumping spiders so who knows, I might get over my fear 1 day!!). Little oddities 🪱
I feel you, I am an adhd girlie as well and I enjoyed your video whilst making dinner 😍 but I need to know - WHAT is boat mode?? Can you please put a time stamp or something because I wasnt looking all of the time but heard you saying “boat mode” several times 🤪😍
🪱🪱❤ I always think the same with my anthuriums “what would Alice do”🤣. Also have boat moded some n it really was scary in the beginning. Also dw abt temu, we all want to support small businesses but sometimes its just not possible especially with UK’s living cost at the minute🙃
If you think it, you probably are 🫶 I’m so sorry you don’t have any friends, are there not many support groups around your area? Even online ones? I know how lonely it can be, I work with quite a few families who are completely isolated and whilst I’m there for the children/teens I often find myself giving more support to the parents, because whilst their children are going through it, the parents are too *and* they’re having to watch their children suffer, often without support from friends or family because they either don’t get it or have just gone completely. Do you have any support at all? 💕
Ahh don’t feel shame…it’s your money & spend it how you want! I’m guessing that SOME small businesses would buy those too…for themselves and/or to resell. If anyone tries to make you feel bad about it then they probs have nothing better to do 🤭🫣 xxxx

I love finding worms in plants too lol..I swish the poop in the cash pot & put it back in 😂

I don't have any friends now. My two sons are both Autistic. I believe my husband is too. I think I might be too.

@perkyplants I have my son's in therapy and the school has been helping me with my youngest. I will ask them if there are any support groups ty.

Ah! Thank you for watching all the way through! ❤
Are you looking for a house now?
Not just yet, we’re going to wait until the new year, but it’s closer than it’s ever been before! 🎉
