    Carrie, I really enjoyed this video! It would be great if you could do a follow-up in a few months to update if you are still using all these items and whether they were worth it. Maybe prior to Christmas so people know if they should ask for gifts, or when items might be on sale. Just a thought. Very much enjoy your videos and vlogs 😁

      OHH! Also connected to this- if you do another "Testing That Girl Products" you could make a follow up to that as well but put them all together, so that you don't have to try to talk for as long about each one. A compilation vid of sorts. Or maybe a "How I Really Feel Abt Products I Tested in 2022"

    As a certified kindle girlie myself, I would LOVE to recommend to you (and everybody frankly, my sisters are begging me to shut up about it): absolutely get yourself a library card if you don't already have one. I'm in the LA area and have a both a local card (for Pasadena public libraries) and an LA county public library card and I can't get enough. They have soooo many books available online so I just put a ton of books I want to read on hold and I get notification when those books are ready to be checked out and it's so damn convenient. Plus they have all the books I want to read but never got a chance to! It completely eliminated the guilt I sometimes felt buying books that I really wanted to read but then didn't enjoy. Or if I start a book and don't love it I can just virtually return it and move on with my life instead of trying to force myself to finish it because I spent 20 bucks on it. My philosophy for physical book lovers is that you can always buy the book after borrowing it if you absolutely love it!

      let me tell you that hair dryer is NOT worth it! i’ve had mine for almost 2 years and tried about every tutorial, and I’m never fully satisfied with it. It’s super over hyped in my opinion and really gives one distinct hair style with the curling attachments. It’s either a straight look with the flat brush or a 60s/70s blowout with the hair curlers, and neither last very long. I’ve found the curls fall out in hours and the brush doesn’t fully straighten my hair. I always have to use another tool with the dyson to get my hair to look decent.

    As a runner it's so bizarre to see people wearing Hokas for functional fashion purposes instead of just protecting your feet while you run. I'm super intrigued now to see if they're shifting their marketing as more and more influencers wear them. also BEWARE using non-trail running Hokas for hiking!!!! They can roll your ankle really easily on trails.

    • @seaweedhead

      Agreed. I have 3 pair that I rotate for running/trail running and when I went to get my new speedgoats I saw that they now make a casual style embroidered shoe that’s super cute.

    Here are my Kindle thoughts and recommendations. I’ve had one for almost a decade.
    1. Buy a cover for the Kindle that can flip around back. I find that hand position more comfortable to hit the right spot to turn the page with my thumb.
    2. Check out your local library. Most of them have ebooks that you can borrow to your Kindle without going into the library in person. Definitely has saved me money from buying books! You can always buy if you like it later.
    3. A big benefit to the Kindle is going on a trip. I don’t need to figure out packing my books for a beach vacation, with backups if I don’t like something. All of that is on the kindle.
    4. The kindle is great for building your vocabulary, in English or even if you’re working on a new language. Just click on the word you’re not sure about and there’s a definition.
    5. See a character name and don’t remember who they are? Click and you can go back to the first time that character name was used.
    6. Play with the backlight and the paper white will be plenty of light to read by in bed. Perfect for wanting to read when someone else in the room is asleep.

      @sarahbbudgets ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Yes same! I think anyone that works at a place with a hard floor (like most stores) or are just on your feet a lot in general, should try Hokas. Most shoe stores you can return shoes anyways, if they really don't work for you. I have had mine a year now and still going strong. I was pregnant and on my feet for 10+ hours a day and my feet didn't hurt. Where as before I would always buy Nike shoes which after a couple months would start to break down and hurt my feet. They are more expensive, but as someone who doesn't like to spend money on things they are totally worth it!

    I loved this video! I'm so with you as a physical book lover. I didn't get a Kindle until last Christmas when my mother-in-law bought one for me and was like "TRUST ME". It's been six months and I still crave the feeling of a physical book, BUT I love it for a few things in particular: using it with my local library and the Libby app! Hello thousands of free ebooks! It's also amazing for travel, I went to Europe for two weeks this spring and didn't bring a single physical book (don't worry, I bought some while I was there 🙈), and still had tons of options in case my reading mood changed. And my single favorite thing about my kindle is that I have a paddle board and I adore paddling out to the middle of the lake with a lil wine and a snack and reading with my kindle. It's lightweight, it's waterproof, and it's so much easier to hold up while I'm laying down on the board. Every day that I float and read is the best day ever. I hope you learn to enjoy it as much as I do. It certainly hasn't kept me from buying ("too many" - my husband) physical books, but it is a net positive in my life!

    I got a Kindle Paperwhite for Christmas last year, and I love it! I’m a die-hard book girl, too, but the Kindle makes it so convenient to read on the go. It’s nice to have an entire library of options (especially on vacation) without hauling around a giant book bag. I also love how light it is, which only adds to the convenience of it!

      You can’t say spending almost $200 is “normal”.. that’s coming off very classist. Being raised in poverty, I was lucky to get a $70 pair of athletic shoes for sports & I promise you, they work just as well and I ran in them until they had holes.

I’ve never liked books, my hands are small, so they cramp up when holding them. Lol. What I like about the kindle, is if there is a word you don’t know, you can click on it and it will give you the definition. So cool! Highly recommend a kindle. I got a cute pink leather case for it too! Lol enjoy all your items, I hope they bring you years of happiness!
