"Let's let the actual repercussions of this choice be the only repercussions of this choice." Wow!!!!! that clicked in my brain for some reason, thank you!!!
I’m in the middle - listening to you talk about your day and the process you have of standards to hold yourself to. My therapist was always constantly asking me - “would you ever hold someone else to those standards?” Then follow up with the inevitable “Why Not?” And my answer was always because it’s ridiculous and really doesn’t matter any more than it matters. Thank you for reminding me of this and continually sharing so much of yourself - not a easy task - your words and experiences help more than you know. It’s Never just about make-up. I can’t wait to see your vlog.
Oh I can't wait to see your footage from home! That will be lovely! I think that the "letting go of perfectionism" is more of a journey than a destination. It makes complete sense to me that you've "done this the best" this month, and it makes complete sense that in a year, or two years or five, you might still be finding that you've "done this the best" that month, because you'll continue to find new things to let go of, to relax on and improve the way you speak to/think of yourself. Sorry if I'm not explaining myself best here - I'm on quite a lot of pain meds tonight and my thinking is a bit cloudy - but hopefully you can understand what I'm trying to say. I posted something on Angie's video today basically saying how much both of your channels have helped me improve my confidence with makeup and allowed me to see myself as someone who enjoys makeup. I've been building a collection over the past year or so - previously I didn't own or wear much makeup, except for what I thought was required for work - and I just want to say thank you for sharing your journey. I've built my confidence and my collection but the ''fewer but nicer things" has really helped me keep on track with spending and, through really inspecting where my money goes and what I spend on, I've been able to save up and purchase things that I don't think I would have otherwise, if I'd not found this channel. Not only in the sense of the cost but because I thought they were too girly or too good for me. (I've always been very tomboyish and I think that is, in part, because I didn't think I could be both.) Thank you for continuing to share your journey and your thought process. Edited to add: I also, and this might seem a bit odd, but I requested makeup for my birthday and christmas over the past year, and I felt SO awkward doing so because I'm just not seen as someone who enjoys makeup within my friends/family. And it feels really nice to explore this more and to have some really nice makeup to play with.
Hannah, I can not put into words everything I want to tell you. I'm not so well-spoken as you (and not a native English speaker). I'm not even a beauty lover but everything you go through and summarize for us applies to any kind of shopping, obssessing and life in general. I am an aspiring psychotherapist and feel like those videos of yours always feel like a therapy session. You are so good at this! But I'm also a perfectionist myself and can totally relate to so much of what you say. I'm on my journey of budgeting and doing capsule wardrobe stuff and I often think of you and your experiences. It takes so much time and effort to change habits and mindsets but it's worth it. You inspire so many people to go on this difficult journey. You deserve so much more attention for everything you do! Also love your personality and asthetic (which is totally different from mine, lol) - you rock the editorial style! Love from Germany ❤
I am SO excited about your designer piece and I love your thinking around it. Spoiler alert - I did the EXACT same for august haha :P (ps cannot wait to see you vlog, I wanna see more of past-Hannah :P)
I used to have that same perfectionist mindset. If I didn't start my day off "right" I had already failed. All or nothing isn't a mindset that works for me. It was too easy for me to go, "well. I failed. I'm a failure. There's no point in trying anymore because I'm just a sucky failure" When I was 23 I had an intense major depressive episode. The kind where you literally can't get out of bed for days. I don't remember that winter. As I got out of it, I found a good CBT provider and was able to change my mindset. It's been such a long process but all or nothing has turned into "all or something" and "it's never too late to start over" and learning to rephrase that internal dialogue. I love your honesty and vulnerability. You've made so much progress over the year that I've been watching you and I know from experience, it must have had it's difficult points. Thank you for sharing your journey
As someone who works with small children being kind is something we practice every day. Also the more kindness you practice on to yourself the easier it is to be kinder to others.
I have to say you are such a fascinating person Hannah! The way you discover and change yourself one piece at the time and share with us for me is a form of beauty ^^ there is so much beauty in human complexity. I feel very close to the description you gave of feeling a failure because of little things we did "wrong" (better say "not perfect") during the day. I'll keep that in mind! 🌱
I can’t help but feeling like when you were wearing those beautiful, editorial clothes from rent the runway you were like Hannah 2.0. You loved those clothes. You looked like you felt amazing. I loved it. I am so glad to see you investing in those pieces that make you feel like that!
I'm on a quest to let go of perfectionism too. It sounds like you're unfolding the layers to your perfectionism. That's lovely. I'm really enjoying hearing about this. It feeds my soul.
You are really on to something healing. When I realized how to sooth myself & not let my "short comings" define me that's when I soar. Sometimes I forget... then I remember again. It takes practice. But I know that I have that tool, incredibly helpful, meaningful tool. I am so glad to hear how you have implemented that & reminded me how to take care of myself.
I loved this video - thank you so much for your insight and openness. I too am a writer and clothing designer and often find myself beating myself up if I don't go about my day "perfectly". I'm now so keen to move forward with a little more forgiveness toward myself. For example, I like to start my day with a cup of coffee and TH-cam (always an HLP video if there's a new one!) and I generally feel guilty for starting my day that way - but it's fine. Things still get done, they just get done half an hour later. Thanks Hannah for your courage and intelligence and for this wonderful channel!
If you can't love yourself - how the hell you are going to be the most effective version of yourself as you do your work in the world? *now let the music play*
I am completely drawn in to your videos, every single one. I love your style and manner of speaking and eloquence, and the content is exactly what I need in my life. I am not a person with a huge makeup collection, but I have too much random stuff in my life. “Fewer nicer things” is exactly my focus this last year. But then it triggers my tendency toward perfectionism, and today’s video appears on my feed. I have a daily mindfulness practice and am a social worker who teaches this to others. Yet your video helps me to connect the dots, and I am so grateful! Instead of living in the moment and enjoying life, I live in my mind and beat myself up for not being enough because I didn’t check all the boxes. THANK YOU!!! 🤗 💖
Really loved this video. This might sound weird but I feel really proud of how far you’ve come and how you’re still learning and growing and sharing this with us xx
Two big things that I get out of your channel. First that you are ever evolving and also that you don’t do this just you have a TH-cam channel or as a side business but the value is in that evolution and your own personal growth. That’s what makes your channel so compelling to me.
I do not understand how the motivational speaker companies (is that a thing...?? :D) aren't rushing to start a whole new thing with you... I told you how your no-buy and budgeting journey have helped me, of all things, quit smoking (!!), but this journey of yours is doing so many things I'm sure for SO many people on so many different levels! Obviously, it has to have helped so many others with similar desires to change the way they shop; specifically, your relatability, honesty, explanations for the many steps along the way and how each has changed you and made you feel. Now how this past month's segment in the path has made you look at your video sign-off differently - it's just wonderful. Kudos again for sharing all this. Like I said before, I don't even have the same issues and all of this helps SO much!
Stone dropping section is like, fire. I completely understand you, this is me also! It’s so great to hear the problem I have put into such an articulate manner. I’m such a chatter and my brain is like a million ideas a second that I find it difficult to explain stuff quite often. Feelings are so complex, I guess that’s why there’s so much self help out there huh?
At the end of every episode of her show, Ellen DeGeneres always says “be kind to one another”. What people often forget is that they need to be kind to themselves as well. I’m so happy you are learning to be kind to yourself, because you deserve kindness, just like everyone else. :) Let’s ALL be kind to one another, but ALSO to ourselves, so that we may be able to be kind to one another. ❤️❤️❤️
Next year I plan to do a clothing budget similar to what you're doing, I've been planning and trying to figure out what style/designers I want to go with. You see, I'm a city girl who's now living in the country, I'll always be a city girl but it's hard for me to see all that's out there because I have to travel to browse. It's hard. It's going to be a process. I've been watching a lot of Justine Laconte's videos, she's been pretty helpful in determining what would suit my body type.
Very keen to see your new purchase. You did look fabulous in those Rent The Runway clothes. I'm attending a wedding in October and I will wear something I already have because I'm still in the no-buy part of my journey. I'm beginning to wonder what I'll do next year.
This was so incredibly timely for me. The “stone in the stomach” describes perfectly how I also punish myself. Thank you for being so candid and lucid, and vulnerable. This is one of many reasons why your uploads are ‘appointments’ for me❤️🌹❤️ Thanks so much HLP💋
I’ve been learning intuitive eating and it’s helped with letting go of perfectionism in other areas of my life as well. And since starting to let go of perfectionism, I’m actually more productive usually because I’m not so worried about doing something perfectly.
Clothing?! :-) You should totally feature that more often, and have it closer to the top of your video description. I had no idea you made clothes, and they're beautiful! I understand it's for tango, but anyone can wear those looks!
Every time I hear you say you want fewer nicer things, I am reminded of something I have seen in regards to how european women - specifically french women - tend to shop. That they plan out two or three key pieces to purchase each season and save up to buy the best version of those pieces that they can so that they will last a lifetime. And I have been wondering at what point you would come to this as your strategy for your own life, for that is what it seems to me that you are heading towards anyways. I guess your announcement about the piece you bought this month had me thinking of this again :) Oh goodness, and your signoff made me tear up today! For you, for me, for all of us that drop those little stones in our hearts when we don’t measure up to our own expectations of ourselves. Giving yourself the grace and forgiveness for each part of your day is certainly a measure of self care none of us does enough. Thank you for reminding me of this❤️
I am exhausted just by hearing ab how your living your day girl! ROTFL You’re doing amazing you’re beautiful you have lovely things and life and lets not worry ab the check boxes! I’m ocd but THIS? This made me realize okay Hollye this is the best worded way to understand how people must see me. LOL You’re beautiful and have a totally amazing way with words! Thank you I’m proud of you! Xoxo Hannah! Thank you for your wisdom bc you truly are talented with words. Omg what’s gonna get spoiled!? I can’t wait to watch ab your parents bc they sound AWESOME btw I want the cleonah shadows and please lmk which you like best! I can’t wait to see your designer piece!
You were in my neck of the woods! It looks like the Shenandoah Valley, but I'm guessing it's NC? I'm glad you got a chance to be with your family and family friends!
I have good days and bad days with my disabilities so I understand the feeling of bad on bad days so One thing I do is tell myself "that's ok it just means..." so on a day I need to lay down and rest I tell myself that's ok, it just means I need to vacuum tomorrow instead. Or I just need to make an easier to cook dinner. Tell yourself it's ok and work with yourself. Sometimes your body just needs extra rest or your mind needs a break, as you say take care of yourself.
I’m glad that you are being kinder to yourself. It was very nice that you were able to plan a last minute trip to NC and what a great surprise for your mom and friends. Looking forward to the vlog. And of course we will all be scrutinizing every video for the designer piece you purchased. It is great that you purchased a piece that you will treasure.
Wow, you have no idea how much I needed to hear this today. You literally said "it feels like a weight" (12:14) and I could feel mine sitting in my stomach.
I adored seeing those clips of your family. It reminded me very much of my own family. Also the description of how your family lives is almost exactly like my “framily”. We have a “commune” of sorts in NorCal and it’s a wonderful way to live. Watching your video ranking purchases definitely motivated me to change how I’m spending my budget as well. I decided, effective the day after my birthday, August 22, until next year on my birthday I’m doing an Angelica Nyqvist inspired low buy. I want to buy fewer nicer things with my finite budget as well. So I’m buying no more than 4 items a month with my $250 budget and # of items rolling over every month. I’m very excited about it. Oh my god BOARD GAMES. My boyfriend and I are board game gurus. We love board games especially indie board games and cooperative board games. I currently actually have them as a category for my budget/low buy. I’ll have to look into it and see what my other half thinks. He may want to invest in it.
I can totally relate. I'm 38 and just found out that I often make a huge mental breakdown for myself for relatively small things. Or when I feel a bit off. I can't believe I just found that out, because it's pretty obvious once you've had that insight, but I am so happy I did. Now I can say to myself "you're making an elephant out of a fly" (it's what we say in German) and take things easier. So glad I'm potentially finally getting more chill 😂❤️
First off, I am sooooo excited to see the vlog! It sounds so interesting and so much fun! Secondly, this is another one of your videos that really seems to have pulled at something in me. And honestly, I feel that way about a lot of your videos and I don't always comment about it, mostly because I'm usually watching them while I do my makeup in the morning before I go to work. Anyways, the way you talk about letting go of perfectionism and being kind to yourself (without sounding too woo-woo and cliche about it, which doesn't do much for my over-anxious/depressed brain) really rings true in me. I have realized lately that a good portion of my anxiety comes from the fear of imperfection. I'm afraid all the time of not being smart enough, not being pretty enough, thin enough, happy enough, etc. That fear triggers my anxiety and makes it so that I feel paralyzed. If I do one thing "wrong" in the day I feel like the whole day is wasted. I beat myself up about it. It's crippling. I want to be the kind of person who works hard and pushes through and /does things/ but I feel like I am always fighting a battle with myself. And I'm nowhere near being able to do what you're doing right now, it's still a long road of working on it that lays ahead of me. But it helps to hear someone else talk about it, and talk about it in such an upfront manner. Also, really looking forward to seeing this editorial mystery piece!
Manda May this resonates so much with me. I could have had the best day and then something triggers my anxiety and it’s like I just completely negate all the good that’s happened in the day and create an in depth story about my ‘poor/flawed persona’ centred around whatever anxiety/depression inducing incident that has occurred.... Am finally starting to learn to shift my focus onto the things that are going right and treat myself with compassion.
don't feel bad about the fact that it's a long road! I've been thinking on this and trying to change for over a year now and it's like the wheel is just starting to move. The first and most important step is SEEING yourself and seeing what you are doing to yourself, and both of you are totally already doing that. Keep thinking about it and talking about it and change will come
When I am actively remembering to be in the mental state I want to be in, I strive for balance and peace. It helps me so much. Another thing that helps me is to mentally account for all that I am grateful for. So often it's the little things, like family, friends, a job that pays my bills, my home. Taking the time to remind myself to be grateful for the "given" blessings in my life that are actually a big deal really helps me find a place of peace. I need to remind myself to strive for the feeling of balance, peace and appreciation. When I don't it's like I mentally go on auto pilot and lose my connection with those values. It seems that my auto pilot is indulging in the self indulgent behavior in a compulsive way. I hope this helps in some way. I think you talking about the constant anxiety you feel is what made me stop to respond, and I'm happy I did. It made me remember what helps center me.
Why is it that women feel this constant pressure to live these perfect lives? You must be productive, you must battle your weaknesses and habits , you must meditate to achieve calm and enlightenment, you must eat well to be healthy, ward of ageing and disease, you must be energised, you must look well put together and stylish and on and on. I never hear men talk about themselves like this. I have never heard a man talk about living his best life. Tinfoil hat moment, but is it possible that keeping women entrapped in this preoccupation with improving themselves serves to prevent them from improving the negative external factors affecting them like regressive politics, perhaps? Is it a coincidence that the entire wellness movement is particularly strongly promoted in the US where women’s rights are being assaulted on scale not seen for a long time? What if, instead of battling themselves, women were to start channeling all this energy into fighting back?
still watching the video but I can't wait for the vlog! I wonder where you're from in NC? I lived for a few years in Cashiers, NC, in the mountains near Sylva. It's so lovely there!!!
Your metaphor of the stones in your stomach from perfectionist beating yourself up really resonated with me, so much so that it inspired me to write a poem
Hannah, I consider it a good day, if I showered, washed my hair & was kind to someone. Keep practicing your mindfulness, beating yourself up emotionally is not a good thing & can slow you down, keep you from being the best you can be...Be your best friend ♥️
I was wondering why you had a game KS! I am actually very active in gaming and the boardgame community (I actually do some language localization/ editing gratis for a major German boadgame magazine too). It's a very big deal to have been able to design and get a publisher to pick up your game- not to mention it's fully funded so congrats to your friend! You might be looking for the phrase 'Euro game'? Catan and Ticket to Ride are considered 'gateway games', your friend's game might be a bit more complicated than those examples so there will be a learning curve.
Woohoo After the Empire! Seeing the short clips of your trip slammed a huge dose of nostalgia into my morning - having lived in WNC for a number of years, I'm definitely missing the Blue Ridge Mountains! Can't wait to see the vlog. :) It may be a final push to get me to visit the area myself sometime soon haha. Your check-in was exactly what I needed to hear this week. Your comments and observations on being kind to oneself regarding the attempt for perfection really hits home, especially with reference to beating oneself up about missing the mark and how that just turns into a lifetime of being unhappy with everything one does. I love all your insights and appreciate you sharing. xoxoxo
Would you be willing to do a video about being Quaker (and maybe about living overseas?). I would be really interested in learning more about the experiences of young Hannah-and I don’t know a lot about Quakers
I'm hard on myself too in a similar way. I feel the need to get the more done in the day than is really possible. I have chronic migraines and when I over do it I will get some horrible migraines that can last for days. I can push myself in the moment to get it all done but my body makes me pay severely after. I'm trying to let myself take breaks and to limit how much I do in a day.
Hi, Hannah. I just discovered you last week, and I’ve been binge-watching your no-buy year and budget vids ever since. We have a lot in common, so your struggles and insights have helped me a lot. I’m just curious: do you journal? You’re so self-aware, and I’m wondering in what space you think these things through. I’m grateful for your channel. Thanks for creating it!
I don't journal in the traditional way but I'm a writer so I spend a lot of time writing about my experiences! TH-cam is kind of like a journal in some ways :)
Thank you Hannah so much for being an inspiration for all of us. I was thinking about doing a no buy, but I don´t want to. I´m not a compulsive shopper , I feel like I know I´m the kind of person who has to push herself to achieve something, so wanting something push me to work harder. But a budget is perfect for me, then I have this something to buy beautiful things , but I´ve been enjoying playing with my own makeup, I´ve been creating so many beautiful palette combinations and I enjoying it sooo much and with what I already have ! Lesson learn, I´ll try not to be so harsh with myself, be kind with myself, working with what I want, one day at a time, it´s ok to make mistakes, learn from them, and go further!
I really felt that stone metaphor. Sometimes I get up amd don't feel good and instead of doing things to make me feel better I do the things I know I "shouldn't". And from there it gets worse. I'm really gonna try to think about this little pebbles and just trow them out and give myself a break.
I really do like the way you think. And the way you explain that thinking is so terrific! Thank you! Always looking for what's to come... :D ..Doubling down on fewer nicer things (Love it!)
I don't know if you're familiar with AlyArt's "13 body types" series on TH-cam... I think your style is perfect for your bone structure according to that system. I would guess that you're a "Soft Dramatic" body type. Editorial ruffles were made for you!
I am looking forward to the vlog, that trip looked very interesting! I love your channel and you've been such an inspiration to me...I started a youtube channel to do plus size fashion hauls a few years ago which has been very fun but also feeds my compulsive shopping. So starting this month I am on a no buy year! I credit you entirely and plan to document my journey and it's crazy how many more video ideas I have now compared to what i was doing before which was just haul after haul after haul! Also, good luck on tackling better kinder to yourself; I will find myself chanting "you are trash!" to myself when I do something less than ideal but that doesn't really help!
yay, congratulations on your no-buy!! It will be transformative! I LOVE that you have more video ideas now, that is so telling :) I wonder what a new and better chant might be? Maybe "you are fine?"
After the Empire sounds interesting. I love Settlers of Catan! I love that you've explained more how much of a perfectionist you are, and that you are being kinder to yourself! Take care Hannah!
Didn't think I'd hear about a new board game on one of my favourite beauty-related channels. I'll definitely check out the Kickstarter! Also, I am looking forward to seeing your beautiful new acquisition.
I needed to see this check-in. I've spent my whole life (at least as long as I can remember) holding myself up to that checklist of perfection and it is such a source of anxiety and depression for me because I never meet it. I just moved and those stones have been really heavy lately because I've been slow about unpacking and cleaning the new house because other things in my life are draining all my motivation and energy. It's such an unhealthy habit but so difficult to shake. I'm really glad you're getting the hang of letting go of yet another aspect of your previous obsession with perfection. I didn't realize that this was a perfectionist problem I'm struggling with until you pointed it out here, so thank you for these wonderful thoughts and insights. Hopefully I can use this to help myself loosen the grip that desire for perfection has on me. Wonderful content as always, Hannah :)
Loved the video, excited to find out what the designer piece is and happy for you! I've been too kind to myself in the past to a detriment for my future, and I've only recently been getting semi-better at balancing it, and the feeling of a 'stone' when I slip up is something I've also been working through letting go of. It's a long process indeed, I probably have a long, long way to go before I get a good balance. Here's to trying! :P
I am SO curious about where you're from. I'm in NC, born here, left and came back. What county were you born in?? If that's too much info for YT I understand.
I really felt the kindness you were talking about radiating from you. I am so proud of you and of myself because i am almost a month into my no buy. Thank you 💚 can't wait for the vlog
PS- the other thing that starts my day off great is waking up and thinking thoughts of gratitude before my feet ever touch the ground. It really sets the tone. I think you would be great at writing in a gratitude journal too. ❤️
This is a great idea. I used to do this before I went to sleep. Its something I've forgotten to do over time. Making it a morning thing might be a good change up.
Loved your check in. We are so hard on ourselves sometimes aren’t we? I’m a recovering perfectionist myself and years ago I reckoned with this by calling myself an “80 percent woman”- meaning that 80 percent of the time I pretty much nail it but in the 20 percent zone I allow myself the space to just be and that’s ok too. Sometimes I just need to get it done and it might not be perfect but it’s fine and there’s no stress around the 20 percent. I hope this helps. Love your videos ❤️
This video hit me hard. That little weight in my stomach because I didn't do the best thing, is with me all the time. You described it so well, I recognized the feeling immediately. Trying to let go is hard, but I hope that one day I too will be able to gift myself little acts of kindness and forgiveness. Because I am tired of feeling bad about every little choice I make, and then feeling bad about feeling bad.
I think your rent the runway present was amazing. It must have given you a really interesting insight into more unusual clothes. I think buying higher is so much better eg environmentally!!!
oh man, i totally relate to the stone thing... by the end of the day it feels like an anchor. part of the trouble is all the lovely YT content! i drink a lot of tea in the morning to wake up and adjust to the day, and there's YT, with all these entertaining videos, and before i know it it's an hour later than it should be and then i've failed for the first time. ugh. but! some videos are more nourishing than others, and yours, Hannah, are up there with the very best.
Even in the short videos and photos that you posted I get the sense that the community you came from is very similar to the one I grew up in... Parents and friends that believe in people, the environment, and grass roots community strength. Even those few second made me feel thankful for my home, I hope your weekend was completely nourishing to your soul 💕
Will definitely check out the game - yes, strategy game. Kickstarter is such a good platform for board games. I have 300+ games so what's one more...? 🤣
I love your mom already...just by that little itty bitty clip.... You talked about checking boxes and how that dictates how your day is rated, that is why I (at the age of 52) got rid of the boxes. There is nowhere to put checks in.... so all is good. Live one day at a time and enjoy the lessons learned and the joys gained as they come....
Your description of perfectionism and the whole stone metaphor...wow. Are you inside of my brain? That’s exactly how it feels. I used to track my “healthy habits” in my bullet journal and I would beat myself up if I didn’t manage to do everything I was “supposed” to do. But the expectations I had set for myself were too high. They were unattainable goals given the number of hours in the day. Anyway, your journey to let go of perfectionism really resonates with me. ❤️❤️
"Let's let the actual repercussions of this choice be the only repercussions of this choice." Wow!!!!! that clicked in my brain for some reason, thank you!!!
I’m in the middle - listening to you talk about your day and the process you have of standards to hold yourself to. My therapist was always constantly asking me - “would you ever hold someone else to those standards?” Then follow up with the inevitable “Why Not?” And my answer was always because it’s ridiculous and really doesn’t matter any more than it matters. Thank you for reminding me of this and continually sharing so much of yourself - not a easy task - your words and experiences help more than you know. It’s Never just about make-up. I can’t wait to see your vlog.
I’m excited to see your footage from your trip back home!
I'm excited to share it!
The excitement that your mom and the family friend had seeing you and your sister surprise them unannounced brought me so much joy.
Oh I can't wait to see your footage from home! That will be lovely!
I think that the "letting go of perfectionism" is more of a journey than a destination. It makes complete sense to me that you've "done this the best" this month, and it makes complete sense that in a year, or two years or five, you might still be finding that you've "done this the best" that month, because you'll continue to find new things to let go of, to relax on and improve the way you speak to/think of yourself. Sorry if I'm not explaining myself best here - I'm on quite a lot of pain meds tonight and my thinking is a bit cloudy - but hopefully you can understand what I'm trying to say.
I posted something on Angie's video today basically saying how much both of your channels have helped me improve my confidence with makeup and allowed me to see myself as someone who enjoys makeup. I've been building a collection over the past year or so - previously I didn't own or wear much makeup, except for what I thought was required for work - and I just want to say thank you for sharing your journey. I've built my confidence and my collection but the ''fewer but nicer things" has really helped me keep on track with spending and, through really inspecting where my money goes and what I spend on, I've been able to save up and purchase things that I don't think I would have otherwise, if I'd not found this channel. Not only in the sense of the cost but because I thought they were too girly or too good for me. (I've always been very tomboyish and I think that is, in part, because I didn't think I could be both.) Thank you for continuing to share your journey and your thought process.
Edited to add: I also, and this might seem a bit odd, but I requested makeup for my birthday and christmas over the past year, and I felt SO awkward doing so because I'm just not seen as someone who enjoys makeup within my friends/family. And it feels really nice to explore this more and to have some really nice makeup to play with.
Hannah, I can not put into words everything I want to tell you. I'm not so well-spoken as you (and not a native English speaker). I'm not even a beauty lover but everything you go through and summarize for us applies to any kind of shopping, obssessing and life in general. I am an aspiring psychotherapist and feel like those videos of yours always feel like a therapy session. You are so good at this! But I'm also a perfectionist myself and can totally relate to so much of what you say. I'm on my journey of budgeting and doing capsule wardrobe stuff and I often think of you and your experiences. It takes so much time and effort to change habits and mindsets but it's worth it. You inspire so many people to go on this difficult journey. You deserve so much more attention for everything you do! Also love your personality and asthetic (which is totally different from mine, lol) - you rock the editorial style! Love from Germany ❤
Better check boxes: did I have fun? Am I happy? Did I make something cool? Did I make someone else happy? Did I learn something?
I am SO excited about your designer piece and I love your thinking around it. Spoiler alert - I did the EXACT same for august haha :P (ps cannot wait to see you vlog, I wanna see more of past-Hannah :P)
YES we are so on the same page! I loved your video about how you are re-thinking your fashion purchases!
I used to have that same perfectionist mindset. If I didn't start my day off "right" I had already failed. All or nothing isn't a mindset that works for me. It was too easy for me to go, "well. I failed. I'm a failure. There's no point in trying anymore because I'm just a sucky failure"
When I was 23 I had an intense major depressive episode. The kind where you literally can't get out of bed for days. I don't remember that winter.
As I got out of it, I found a good CBT provider and was able to change my mindset. It's been such a long process but all or nothing has turned into "all or something" and "it's never too late to start over" and learning to rephrase that internal dialogue.
I love your honesty and vulnerability. You've made so much progress over the year that I've been watching you and I know from experience, it must have had it's difficult points. Thank you for sharing your journey
aw that was so sweet surprising your mom!
As someone who works with small children being kind is something we practice every day. Also the more kindness you practice on to yourself the easier it is to be kinder to others.
I have to say you are such a fascinating person Hannah! The way you discover and change yourself one piece at the time and share with us for me is a form of beauty ^^ there is so much beauty in human complexity.
I feel very close to the description you gave of feeling a failure because of little things we did "wrong" (better say "not perfect") during the day. I'll keep that in mind! 🌱
I can’t help but feeling like when you were wearing those beautiful, editorial clothes from rent the runway you were like Hannah 2.0. You loved those clothes. You looked like you felt amazing. I loved it. I am so glad to see you investing in those pieces that make you feel like that!
I'm on a quest to let go of perfectionism too. It sounds like you're unfolding the layers to your perfectionism. That's lovely. I'm really enjoying hearing about this. It feeds my soul.
You are really on to something healing. When I realized how to sooth myself & not let my "short comings" define me that's when I soar. Sometimes I forget... then I remember again. It takes practice. But I know that I have that tool, incredibly helpful, meaningful tool. I am so glad to hear how you have implemented that & reminded me how to take care of myself.
I had not realized I could chuck that stone, thank you for this!
I loved this video - thank you so much for your insight and openness. I too am a writer and clothing designer and often find myself beating myself up if I don't go about my day "perfectly". I'm now so keen to move forward with a little more forgiveness toward myself. For example, I like to start my day with a cup of coffee and TH-cam (always an HLP video if there's a new one!) and I generally feel guilty for starting my day that way - but it's fine. Things still get done, they just get done half an hour later. Thanks Hannah for your courage and intelligence and for this wonderful channel!
If you can't love yourself - how the hell you are going to be the most effective version of yourself as you do your work in the world?
*now let the music play*
Can I get an amen up in here? Amen!
I am completely drawn in to your videos, every single one. I love your style and manner of speaking and eloquence, and the content is exactly what I need in my life. I am not a person with a huge makeup collection, but I have too much random stuff in my life. “Fewer nicer things” is exactly my focus this last year. But then it triggers my tendency toward perfectionism, and today’s video appears on my feed. I have a daily mindfulness practice and am a social worker who teaches this to others. Yet your video helps me to connect the dots, and I am so grateful!
Instead of living in the moment and enjoying life, I live in my mind and beat myself up for not being enough because I didn’t check all the boxes. THANK YOU!!! 🤗 💖
Really loved this video. This might sound weird but I feel really proud of how far you’ve come and how you’re still learning and growing and sharing this with us xx
Two big things that I get out of your channel. First that you are ever evolving and also that you don’t do this just you have a TH-cam channel or as a side business but the value is in that evolution and your own personal growth. That’s what makes your channel so compelling to me.
I do not understand how the motivational speaker companies (is that a thing...?? :D) aren't rushing to start a whole new thing with you... I told you how your no-buy and budgeting journey have helped me, of all things, quit smoking (!!), but this journey of yours is doing so many things I'm sure for SO many people on so many different levels! Obviously, it has to have helped so many others with similar desires to change the way they shop; specifically, your relatability, honesty, explanations for the many steps along the way and how each has changed you and made you feel. Now how this past month's segment in the path has made you look at your video sign-off differently - it's just wonderful. Kudos again for sharing all this. Like I said before, I don't even have the same issues and all of this helps SO much!
Stone dropping section is like, fire. I completely understand you, this is me also! It’s so great to hear the problem I have put into such an articulate manner. I’m such a chatter and my brain is like a million ideas a second that I find it difficult to explain stuff quite often. Feelings are so complex, I guess that’s why there’s so much self help out there huh?
At the end of every episode of her show, Ellen DeGeneres always says “be kind to one another”. What people often forget is that they need to be kind to themselves as well. I’m so happy you are learning to be kind to yourself, because you deserve kindness, just like everyone else. :)
Let’s ALL be kind to one another, but ALSO to ourselves, so that we may be able to be kind to one another. ❤️❤️❤️
Hannah, I'm so happy for you! As a recovering perfectionist, I'm on a similar journey. Yay for being kinder to ourselves!
Oh my god, Marnie’s reaction is so cute! Good for you for visiting them ❤️
Next year I plan to do a clothing budget similar to what you're doing, I've been planning and trying to figure out what style/designers I want to go with. You see, I'm a city girl who's now living in the country, I'll always be a city girl but it's hard for me to see all that's out there because I have to travel to browse. It's hard. It's going to be a process. I've been watching a lot of Justine Laconte's videos, she's been pretty helpful in determining what would suit my body type.
So excited to see the vlog and get a little insight into who you are and where you come from! ♥️ I love the mountains of NC!
Very keen to see your new purchase. You did look fabulous in those Rent The Runway clothes. I'm attending a wedding in October and I will wear something I already have because I'm still in the no-buy part of my journey. I'm beginning to wonder what I'll do next year.
Great video. BTW.. Love how your bangs look in this video....
This was so incredibly timely for me. The “stone in the stomach” describes perfectly how I also punish myself.
Thank you for being so candid and lucid, and vulnerable.
This is one of many reasons why your uploads are ‘appointments’ for me❤️🌹❤️
Thanks so much HLP💋
I’ve been learning intuitive eating and it’s helped with letting go of perfectionism in other areas of my life as well. And since starting to let go of perfectionism, I’m actually more productive usually because I’m not so worried about doing something perfectly.
Clothing?! :-) You should totally feature that more often, and have it closer to the top of your video description. I had no idea you made clothes, and they're beautiful! I understand it's for tango, but anyone can wear those looks!
Every time I hear you say you want fewer nicer things, I am reminded of something I have seen in regards to how european women - specifically french women - tend to shop. That they plan out two or three key pieces to purchase each season and save up to buy the best version of those pieces that they can so that they will last a lifetime. And I have been wondering at what point you would come to this as your strategy for your own life, for that is what it seems to me that you are heading towards anyways. I guess your announcement about the piece you bought this month had me thinking of this again :) Oh goodness, and your signoff made me tear up today! For you, for me, for all of us that drop those little stones in our hearts when we don’t measure up to our own expectations of ourselves. Giving yourself the grace and forgiveness for each part of your day is certainly a measure of self care none of us does enough. Thank you for reminding me of this❤️
I am exhausted just by hearing ab how your living your day girl! ROTFL You’re doing amazing you’re beautiful you have lovely things and life and lets not worry ab the check boxes! I’m ocd but THIS? This made me realize okay Hollye this is the best worded way to understand how people must see me. LOL You’re beautiful and have a totally amazing way with words! Thank you I’m proud of you! Xoxo Hannah! Thank you for your wisdom bc you truly are talented with words. Omg what’s gonna get spoiled!? I can’t wait to watch ab your parents bc they sound AWESOME btw I want the cleonah shadows and please lmk which you like best! I can’t wait to see your designer piece!
You were in my neck of the woods! It looks like the Shenandoah Valley, but I'm guessing it's NC? I'm glad you got a chance to be with your family and family friends!
I have good days and bad days with my disabilities so I understand the feeling of bad on bad days so One thing I do is tell myself "that's ok it just means..." so on a day I need to lay down and rest I tell myself that's ok, it just means I need to vacuum tomorrow instead. Or I just need to make an easier to cook dinner.
Tell yourself it's ok and work with yourself. Sometimes your body just needs extra rest or your mind needs a break, as you say take care of yourself.
I’m glad that you are being kinder to yourself. It was very nice that you were able to plan a last minute trip to NC and what a great surprise for your mom and friends. Looking forward to the vlog. And of course we will all be scrutinizing every video for the designer piece you purchased. It is great that you purchased a piece that you will treasure.
:)
I'm so psyched for the vlog! I went to a Quaker college and I have been missing Quaker spaces.
Wow, you have no idea how much I needed to hear this today. You literally said "it feels like a weight" (12:14) and I could feel mine sitting in my stomach.
I adored seeing those clips of your family. It reminded me very much of my own family. Also the description of how your family lives is almost exactly like my “framily”. We have a “commune” of sorts in NorCal and it’s a wonderful way to live.
Watching your video ranking purchases definitely motivated me to change how I’m spending my budget as well. I decided, effective the day after my birthday, August 22, until next year on my birthday I’m doing an Angelica Nyqvist inspired low buy. I want to buy fewer nicer things with my finite budget as well. So I’m buying no more than 4 items a month with my $250 budget and # of items rolling over every month. I’m very excited about it.
Oh my god BOARD GAMES. My boyfriend and I are board game gurus. We love board games especially indie board games and cooperative board games. I currently actually have them as a category for my budget/low buy. I’ll have to look into it and see what my other half thinks. He may want to invest in it.
I can totally relate. I'm 38 and just found out that I often make a huge mental breakdown for myself for relatively small things. Or when I feel a bit off. I can't believe I just found that out, because it's pretty obvious once you've had that insight, but I am so happy I did. Now I can say to myself "you're making an elephant out of a fly" (it's what we say in German) and take things easier. So glad I'm potentially finally getting more chill 😂❤️
"Making anelephant out of a fly!" I love it. I'm going to add that to my sayings. In these parts, we say "Making a mountain out of a molehill."
First off, I am sooooo excited to see the vlog! It sounds so interesting and so much fun!
Secondly, this is another one of your videos that really seems to have pulled at something in me. And honestly, I feel that way about a lot of your videos and I don't always comment about it, mostly because I'm usually watching them while I do my makeup in the morning before I go to work. Anyways, the way you talk about letting go of perfectionism and being kind to yourself (without sounding too woo-woo and cliche about it, which doesn't do much for my over-anxious/depressed brain) really rings true in me. I have realized lately that a good portion of my anxiety comes from the fear of imperfection. I'm afraid all the time of not being smart enough, not being pretty enough, thin enough, happy enough, etc. That fear triggers my anxiety and makes it so that I feel paralyzed. If I do one thing "wrong" in the day I feel like the whole day is wasted. I beat myself up about it. It's crippling. I want to be the kind of person who works hard and pushes through and /does things/ but I feel like I am always fighting a battle with myself.
And I'm nowhere near being able to do what you're doing right now, it's still a long road of working on it that lays ahead of me. But it helps to hear someone else talk about it, and talk about it in such an upfront manner.
Also, really looking forward to seeing this editorial mystery piece!
Manda May this resonates so much with me. I could have had the best day and then something triggers my anxiety and it’s like I just completely negate all the good that’s happened in the day and create an in depth story about my ‘poor/flawed persona’ centred around whatever anxiety/depression inducing incident that has occurred.... Am finally starting to learn to shift my focus onto the things that are going right and treat myself with compassion.
don't feel bad about the fact that it's a long road! I've been thinking on this and trying to change for over a year now and it's like the wheel is just starting to move. The first and most important step is SEEING yourself and seeing what you are doing to yourself, and both of you are totally already doing that. Keep thinking about it and talking about it and change will come
When I am actively remembering to be in the mental state I want to be in, I strive for balance and peace. It helps me so much. Another thing that helps me is to mentally account for all that I am grateful for. So often it's the little things, like family, friends, a job that pays my bills, my home. Taking the time to remind myself to be grateful for the "given" blessings in my life that are actually a big deal really helps me find a place of peace.
I need to remind myself to strive for the feeling of balance, peace and appreciation. When I don't it's like I mentally go on auto pilot and lose my connection with those values. It seems that my auto pilot is indulging in the self indulgent behavior in a compulsive way.
I hope this helps in some way. I think you talking about the constant anxiety you feel is what made me stop to respond, and I'm happy I did. It made me remember what helps center me.
Why is it that women feel this constant pressure to live these perfect lives? You must be productive, you must battle your weaknesses and habits , you must meditate to achieve calm and enlightenment, you must eat well to be healthy, ward of ageing and disease, you must be energised, you must look well put together and stylish and on and on. I never hear men talk about themselves like this. I have never heard a man talk about living his best life. Tinfoil hat moment, but is it possible that keeping women entrapped in this preoccupation with improving themselves serves to prevent them from improving the negative external factors affecting them like regressive politics, perhaps? Is it a coincidence that the entire wellness movement is particularly strongly promoted in the US where women’s rights are being assaulted on scale not seen for a long time? What if, instead of battling themselves, women were to start channeling all this energy into fighting back?
still watching the video but I can't wait for the vlog! I wonder where you're from in NC? I lived for a few years in Cashiers, NC, in the mountains near Sylva. It's so lovely there!!!
We are our own worst enemies Hannah. You are fabulous and should be kind to yourself.
Hannah where is your ring from? It’s pretty!
Your reflections on perfection hit me in my soul. We all do this to some extent, but I have been struggling with it a lot lately. Thank you for that.
thanks Emily! I'm so glad it resonates with you!
So excited to see the vlog.
Your metaphor of the stones in your stomach from perfectionist beating yourself up really resonated with me, so much so that it inspired me to write a poem
Hannah, I consider it a good day, if I showered, washed my hair & was kind to someone. Keep practicing your mindfulness, beating yourself up emotionally is not a good thing & can slow you down, keep you from being the best you can be...Be your best friend ♥️
I a man so excited for this vlog
I love you! Thank you again and again and again. My life is better because I have you in it. 🥰
I was wondering why you had a game KS! I am actually very active in gaming and the boardgame community (I actually do some language localization/ editing gratis for a major German boadgame magazine too). It's a very big deal to have been able to design and get a publisher to pick up your game- not to mention it's fully funded so congrats to your friend! You might be looking for the phrase 'Euro game'? Catan and Ticket to Ride are considered 'gateway games', your friend's game might be a bit more complicated than those examples so there will be a learning curve.
Excited to see your vlog.
Woohoo After the Empire!
Seeing the short clips of your trip slammed a huge dose of nostalgia into my morning - having lived in WNC for a number of years, I'm definitely missing the Blue Ridge Mountains! Can't wait to see the vlog. :) It may be a final push to get me to visit the area myself sometime soon haha.
Your check-in was exactly what I needed to hear this week. Your comments and observations on being kind to oneself regarding the attempt for perfection really hits home, especially with reference to beating oneself up about missing the mark and how that just turns into a lifetime of being unhappy with everything one does. I love all your insights and appreciate you sharing. xoxoxo
Would you be willing to do a video about being Quaker (and maybe about living overseas?). I would be really interested in learning more about the experiences of young Hannah-and I don’t know a lot about Quakers
I have gotten some requests about this, I will keep thinking about how best to do it!
Oh! My partner works for a company that produces boardgames! Kickstarters are stressful, best of luck to your friend!!
Thank you! and thank you Hannah for the shout out!
I can’t wait to see the vlog of your visit home. I come from the area and although I’ve been away many years....the mountains are in my blood.
I'm hard on myself too in a similar way. I feel the need to get the more done in the day than is really possible. I have chronic migraines and when I over do it I will get some horrible migraines that can last for days. I can push myself in the moment to get it all done but my body makes me pay severely after. I'm trying to let myself take breaks and to limit how much I do in a day.
Hi, Hannah. I just discovered you last week, and I’ve been binge-watching your no-buy year and budget vids ever since. We have a lot in common, so your struggles and insights have helped me a lot. I’m just curious: do you journal? You’re so self-aware, and I’m wondering in what space you think these things through. I’m grateful for your channel. Thanks for creating it!
I don't journal in the traditional way but I'm a writer so I spend a lot of time writing about my experiences! TH-cam is kind of like a journal in some ways :)
Thank you Hannah so much for being an inspiration for all of us. I was thinking about doing a no buy, but I don´t want to. I´m not a compulsive shopper , I feel like I know I´m the kind of person who has to push herself to achieve something, so wanting something push me to work harder. But a budget is perfect for me, then I have this something to buy beautiful things , but I´ve been enjoying playing with my own makeup, I´ve been creating so many beautiful palette combinations and I enjoying it sooo much and with what I already have ! Lesson learn, I´ll try not to be so harsh with myself, be kind with myself, working with what I want, one day at a time, it´s ok to make mistakes, learn from them, and go further!
Yeah if I was budgeting I'd totally be a fewer nicer things kinda budgeter
This makeup, hair, sweater and self awareness looks so beautiful on you Hannah
Can’t wait to see the vlog and your new statement clothing piece! So many things to look forward to this month!
oooh I can't wait to wear it on camera
I really felt that stone metaphor. Sometimes I get up amd don't feel good and instead of doing things to make me feel better I do the things I know I "shouldn't". And from there it gets worse. I'm really gonna try to think about this little pebbles and just trow them out and give myself a break.
I really do like the way you think. And the way you explain that thinking is so terrific! Thank you! Always looking for what's to come... :D
..Doubling down on fewer nicer things (Love it!)
I don't know if you're familiar with AlyArt's "13 body types" series on TH-cam... I think your style is perfect for your bone structure according to that system. I would guess that you're a "Soft Dramatic" body type. Editorial ruffles were made for you!
I am looking forward to the vlog, that trip looked very interesting! I love your channel and you've been such an inspiration to me...I started a youtube channel to do plus size fashion hauls a few years ago which has been very fun but also feeds my compulsive shopping. So starting this month I am on a no buy year! I credit you entirely and plan to document my journey and it's crazy how many more video ideas I have now compared to what i was doing before which was just haul after haul after haul! Also, good luck on tackling better kinder to yourself; I will find myself chanting "you are trash!" to myself when I do something less than ideal but that doesn't really help!
yay, congratulations on your no-buy!! It will be transformative! I LOVE that you have more video ideas now, that is so telling :) I wonder what a new and better chant might be? Maybe "you are fine?"
After the Empire sounds interesting. I love Settlers of Catan!
I love that you've explained more how much of a perfectionist you are, and that you are being kinder to yourself! Take care Hannah!
xo!
xo!
I related to this video so much. Thank you for sharing in such a thoughtful and eloquent way.
Didn't think I'd hear about a new board game on one of my favourite beauty-related channels. I'll definitely check out the Kickstarter! Also, I am looking forward to seeing your beautiful new acquisition.
Can't wait to see your vlog and also hear about your thoughts at the end of this month about how your no buy year changed your life.
I needed to see this check-in. I've spent my whole life (at least as long as I can remember) holding myself up to that checklist of perfection and it is such a source of anxiety and depression for me because I never meet it. I just moved and those stones have been really heavy lately because I've been slow about unpacking and cleaning the new house because other things in my life are draining all my motivation and energy. It's such an unhealthy habit but so difficult to shake. I'm really glad you're getting the hang of letting go of yet another aspect of your previous obsession with perfection. I didn't realize that this was a perfectionist problem I'm struggling with until you pointed it out here, so thank you for these wonderful thoughts and insights. Hopefully I can use this to help myself loosen the grip that desire for perfection has on me. Wonderful content as always, Hannah :)
So, those statement lily earrings you weaned yourself off of, might make a comeback as now you'll spend $100 on an investment piece?
"Editorial ruffles" is bring me 80s flashbacks.
Loved the video, excited to find out what the designer piece is and happy for you! I've been too kind to myself in the past to a detriment for my future, and I've only recently been getting semi-better at balancing it, and the feeling of a 'stone' when I slip up is something I've also been working through letting go of. It's a long process indeed, I probably have a long, long way to go before I get a good balance. Here's to trying! :P
yes, here's to trying indeed!
I am SO curious about where you're from. I'm in NC, born here, left and came back. What county were you born in?? If that's too much info for YT I understand.
I'm trying to keep any location specifics out of the vlog, etc, but it's Western NC :)
I can’t help but hear the 🍗 🥩 🍖 now haha
MEAT
I really felt the kindness you were talking about radiating from you. I am so proud of you and of myself because i am almost a month into my no buy. Thank you 💚 can't wait for the vlog
YAY I'm proud of you too!
PS- the other thing that starts my day off great is waking up and thinking thoughts of gratitude before my feet ever touch the ground. It really sets the tone. I think you would be great at writing in a gratitude journal too. ❤️
yes, I've gone through phases of doing this but not lately! It does make a huge difference, I will try to start it up again
Hannah Louise Poston there is a great book called “the gifts of imperfection” by Brene Brown that is really amazing...
This is a great idea. I used to do this before I went to sleep. Its something I've forgotten to do over time. Making it a morning thing might be a good change up.
Loved your check in. We are so hard on ourselves sometimes aren’t we? I’m a recovering perfectionist myself and years ago I reckoned with this by calling myself an “80 percent woman”- meaning that 80 percent of the time I pretty much nail it but in the 20 percent zone I allow myself the space to just be and that’s ok too. Sometimes I just need to get it done and it might not be perfect but it’s fine and there’s no stress around the 20 percent. I hope this helps. Love your videos ❤️
I LOVE this!!!
Hannah Louise Poston ❤️
I can't wait to see the vlog!!
:)
This video hit me hard. That little weight in my stomach because I didn't do the best thing, is with me all the time. You described it so well, I recognized the feeling immediately. Trying to let go is hard, but I hope that one day I too will be able to gift myself little acts of kindness and forgiveness. Because I am tired of feeling bad about every little choice I make, and then feeling bad about feeling bad.
I think your rent the runway present was amazing. It must have given you a really interesting insight into more unusual clothes. I think buying higher is so much better eg environmentally!!!
oh man, i totally relate to the stone thing... by the end of the day it feels like an anchor. part of the trouble is all the lovely YT content! i drink a lot of tea in the morning to wake up and adjust to the day, and there's YT, with all these entertaining videos, and before i know it it's an hour later than it should be and then i've failed for the first time. ugh. but! some videos are more nourishing than others, and yours, Hannah, are up there with the very best.
sending a big hug!
@@HannahLouisePoston :-D
Even in the short videos and photos that you posted I get the sense that the community you came from is very similar to the one I grew up in...
Parents and friends that believe in people, the environment, and grass roots community strength. Even those few second made me feel thankful for my home, I hope your weekend was completely nourishing to your soul 💕
I can't wait to see your vlog!
Will definitely check out the game - yes, strategy game. Kickstarter is such a good platform for board games. I have 300+ games so what's one more...? 🤣
Good morning, Hannah! I'm so glad you are being good to yourself. Life is too short to hold yourself to impossible standards. Enjoy your new top🔥
I love your mom already...just by that little itty bitty clip....
You talked about checking boxes and how that dictates how your day is rated, that is why I (at the age of 52) got rid of the boxes. There is nowhere to put checks in.... so all is good. Live one day at a time and enjoy the lessons learned and the joys gained as they come....
Your description of perfectionism and the whole stone metaphor...wow. Are you inside of my brain? That’s exactly how it feels. I used to track my “healthy habits” in my bullet journal and I would beat myself up if I didn’t manage to do everything I was “supposed” to do. But the expectations I had set for myself were too high. They were unattainable goals given the number of hours in the day. Anyway, your journey to let go of perfectionism really resonates with me. ❤️❤️
your lipstick is so distractingly gorgeous, such a good look on you!
You should reticle your channel to A Spiritual Guide to Consumerism. Thanks for the thoughtful video.
Oh my gosh, what part of North Carolina? I’m from South Carolina and we go to Asheville, Blowing Rock & Boone at least once a year
yes, around there! I'm trying not to share location specifics but it's Western NC
@@HannahLouisePoston totally understand!
Listening to you talk about your feelings helps me learn more about myself. I really hope you decide to write a book one day!
thank you Katie! xo!
Table-top game, Hannah. I play such games, along with Role-Playing Games, etc.
lol, table-top game! Yes! thank you :)
Best video of yours. I really hope you change your signoff to that new version!
❤️❤️❤️
Layers of letting go. (I'm talking to the screen but you can't hear me.) I love these deep videos behind our (your) actions. Very relatable
