Watching this in 2020... it makes me so happy that you've "found your calling" so-to-speak. I love that zero waste content has brought you what I perceive to be as success and fulfillment.
Shelbizleee yeah a lot of people need to hear this. I think this video is very important. I hope you know, because of you I have gotten rid of a lot of things because you made an impact on me. you made me open my eyes and realize I don't need all of the things I had. thank you.
because of you i have changed alot of what i do and even have my kids going around picking trash up around the neighborhood... i may not comment on every video but please know i do watch every single video you post i even go and watch older ones from before i joined.. i love you keep up the good work you are making a difference
I don't normally comment on your videos, but I do watch and I feel that I've learned a lot about our impact on the environment and the waste that people create. I found this channel because of the dumpster diving, but the other content is good too. Don't feel like you haven't had an impact on your viewers because you've definitely had one on me and a lot of other people who don't always speak up in the comments.
to be completely honest with you, i found your account through ulta dumpster diving. however, i began watching all of your videos whenever you uploaded and i have now found myself very interested in environmental issues. keep doing what youre doing. i completely support your channel and absolutely love your videos. love you !!
I found her channel the exact same way, and I too have became really interested in environmental issues. It's really changed the way I think and opened my eyes to what's going on and how we can help :D
I did too. I heard about it a couple months back and wanted to check it out. The more I watched your videos the more I loved what you were doing for the environment and everything you stand for! Before watch your videos I was trying to make more environmentally better decisions in my life and watching your videos taught me so much and really like a fire under my butt. I've already talked to my family about making better choices (like not using plastic and recycling more) and have even started making my own reusable bags for grocery shopping. I love your videos! And even more I love you you are educating so many people of such a serious topic! Keep up the great work love! ❤️♻️❤️
I'm actually really glad you addressed this. I hate seeing people begging for you to do giveaways in every video. Your content is amazing and you deserve to feel supported and not used. I love you and this channel and I'm along for the ride no matter where you take it
Doris Bradshaw i know , hate the people that beg for her things!! At least offer to buy it!! People come on! Don't be so materialistic and greedy! She finds it , at least offer gas or lunch money.
You dumpster diving attracted me, your message keeps me coming back. Your giveaways are not what I look for. I do want to see more diy that is geared to reducing, reusing, repurposing, and living simply.
Elizabeth Farling Exactly. Her dumpster diving vids first attracted me to this channel, but I appreciate the premise of Environmentalism, and I am able to learn more.
I found you through your anti-hauls and stay for the environmental content. I’m not interested in makeup at all so I skip the Ulta dives. I love the low-waste ideas and watching how they work out for you.
I'm not going to lie. I came for the make up dives. But I STAY because you got me interested in your environmental videos! You are so different then all the other TH-camrs I watch! Thank you for sticking to your values
I know this is an older video, but I've been watching your videos for a couple of weeks... I didn't even know you did dumpster diving videos at all, but this popped up for me to watch and this honesty and realness made me subscribe. Keep up the good work helping to spread awareness on how to live a more sustainable life!
I came for the dumpster diving, and I stayed for the environmentalism. I think about my purchases more, I've been trying to minimize my wardrobe, and I try to be more conscious about the types of products I buy. You're making an impact, Shelby.
It's been almost 3 years since you posted this. I'm so glad you stayed true to yourself over this whole journey. Even when you were facing the daunting task of creating the content that you want instead of what your viewers want. I'm a relatively new subscriber (been here about a year I think) but you have been such a wonderful resource for me and helped me so much to reduce my eco footprint. Thank you!
I'm not going to lie. I came here for Ulta dives. But during the dives, I learned more about all of the environment stuff and it interests me. I plan on staying here. I'm one of the types of people that doesn't comment and just stays in the back. I'm here. I'm just hidden.
Could you do a video on the harmful effects of microbeads since they will stop being manufactured by July and a lot of people will be angry that some of their favorite products will stop being sold
Btw, like most, I found you through dumpster diving, however I have made an effort to watch some of your other videos and I think that you have truly changed my outlook on what I'm consuming
I found you recently, and I'm glad you're not just makeup and dumpster diving videos. I value the information you provide about sustainability, and found you through your 'antihauls'. I'm an ethical/health vegan also interested in reducing my environmental impact, so that was fun to watch. I stay for your 'how to do eco laundry', or 'zero waste meal prep' and 'least to most sustainable cloth products'. So thank you.
I love how your going back to doing what your heart wants to do most!! I did come to your channel from a ulta dumpster diving video but since then youve taught me so much and really opened up my mind on how to live a more conscious life 😊
That's so awesome to hear Alexis!!! I think it's been easy for me to look at the negative people and forget that I have been able to impact people like you. Thank you for reminding me
I am SO PROUD TO BE A BIZZLE. Honestly, you make me a better person. I absolutely adore you and what's important to you. YOU are the kind of person that wants to see change and BECOMES the change. I love this channel. I love where it's going. I love you as a person and I love what you stand for. I'm so glad that you are different from any channel. I love that you're ready and willing to teach what matter most to you. The subscriber number doesn't matter. The content you put out does, and it's amazing. I stand for you and what your about. It hurts to feel the frustration that you do, but I'm glad you voiced those frustrations to make it clear. YOU ARE NOT ONE TO CONFORM and I know that you won't. I LOVE YOUR ECO FRIENDLY, ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE LIVIN GUTS DAMMIT!!! Please don't ever change because you, Shelbi, ARE ENOUGH!!! Your friend and supporter in all things at all times, Mara. ✌🏼
Girl... did you have to make me cry at work tho? LOL, you know I love you and I know the feeling is mutual, but putting this into words just makes it feel official. Love you Mara
Shelbizleee official like a referee with a whistle!!! These words you shared today are who you are and who you are is a phenomenal human being. All the love in the world, from me to you homie. ❤️✌🏼
Here is a video idea. With younger people not wanting harmful chemicals in their food and starting to grow gardens. I see people watching more videos on gardening. Well, you a queen at dumpster diving! Why not combine the two. Regrow the fruit/veggies with the seeds you get from dumpsters. Kind of a "Regrow" projects. Start small and work your way up. It could also help the environment due to people learning/knowing to grow food which will help with the demand in stores (I hope I'm explaining well enough). Also help with the waste issue. If gardening isn't your thing I understand. By the way I've learned a lot about environmental stuff on your channel. I haven't bought a single makeup item since your video on the impact on the environment. Keep up the good work!
i completely agree with you about how we don't need to constantly go out and get new makeup. especially if it's expensive palettes and stuff like that. a lot of palette have the same colours so it's pointless to have 6 of the same colour!!!!
This makes me so happy that it’s been two years, and that looking back, you were able to change directions for what was better for you! (Also I came for the environmental and low-waste videos and hadn’t even ventured back into the makeup videos). Hoping that you’re feeling more fulfilled with your current content-making such a difference!
I would be lying if I said that I came across your channel for anything else but ulta dumpster diving but when I went back a few videos to see what other videos you had I got drawn in. Seeing your rant videos on important topics and thrift shopping hauls to talking about being a sjw and being vegan, I seen a person that had sooo many qualities that I strive to have in life. Just how you grew up being I guess you can call it an over consumer I was brought up the same way and watching your videos about all the above made me want to be a better person! It may sound a little cheesy lol but I now have a new understanding on the impact each and every person has on this planet every single day and I have you to thank for that. So thank you! For being inspiring and genuine and informative and motivated to making a difference! I will always be a subscriber and a support of what you are doing!💕💕💕
I watch ALL your videos and LOVE them. Seeing how passionate you are gave me the push to take my voice back and work harder to live responsibly and encourage others. I ended up spending this past winter and spring researching, writing and traveling with an organization as a youth mentor, helping kids launch eco-friendly businesses and projects. I even got to be a presenter at the world's largest Earth Day gathering this year. You set such an example and got me back on the path I want to be on. I look forward to anything and everything you put into future videos.
I honestly dont know how I found your channel but your channel has been instrumental in changing my entire life.....were now attempting to buy our first house and to be completely self sufficient recycling our own water supplying our own electricity and growing all our own food! I've turned my entire life around in 3 years!
I am watching this in 2021. I am so glad you found the determination to follow your passion: I have been learning so much from you about environmental and a healthy zero waste lifestyle. You are great to watch because of your enthusiasm and your friendly openness, but it is your passion and wisdom that keeps me coming back. Thank you for being the beautiful human that you are - your uploads are the best giveaway of all and the only one that matters.
So interesting. I've been watching you for a year now and suddenly your dumpster dive videos popped up. I'm so glad you focused on what you loved. Your channel is awesome in 2021, and I've learned so much.
I have just recently started watching your videos and I honestly just like you so much. You are a great person and you stand for a great cause. Every time I watch your videos I learn something new; keep doing what you do girl. I honestly started watching your videos because of the makeup but you've made me realize many things and you have honestly taught me a lot. thank you. Keep doing what you believe in and don't let anybody discourage you.
I subscribed to your channel because of the dumpster diving but since them I have grown to love all your videos and I strive to be more eco-friendly. you probably don't see me a lot in the comments but I watch all your videos. keep making videos that you love and that you want to make, some people may leave but this is your channel not theirs. I am looking forward to what you make in the future! ❤ - Olivia
That's awesome Olivia. I love to hear what you guys think about each video so feel free to keep the comments coming, even if you hate the video, haha. Thank you for this
Youve honestly taught me SO much. I used to always go out and buy new makeup. But I barely do that anymore and Ive joined two dumpster diving Facebook pages because of you! It makes me sad that you think people only watch you for makeup because you've seriously impacted my life and beliefs so much
I know I'm late to the party !!! I've watched your newer content and then this popped up. I'm so happy you got past your discouragement and continued on!!! You're super inspirational! I love it!
I found you in 2020 for your eco minimalism videos and stayed for them I love learning new ways to be more eco friendly, have been on a journey into minimalism since early 2020 and thought I was pretty eco friendly but have learnt so many ways to be more eco friendly thanks to you and others. I think you're brill, decided to go back to your first videos and love seeing your journey and do actually love most of your early video's too, I'm also very interested in dumpster diving, used to do it but 8+ years ago in a different town
I found you about 3 weeks ago by your ulta dumpsterdiving video but your personality and your passion gleaming through you has inspired me and made me want to stay (which I am) you're hella rad and standing for what you believe in is so amazing .. we don't really get that in life anymore , I really hope you upload more content speaking up about your passions and dreams and continue inspiring others. I wish you peace to the fullest ! Thank you so much for spreading peace , love and beauty that life has to offer xoxo
This video shows how brave you really are. It takes a lot of guts to say the things you did that could cause a loss of following because you were open about what you really want! Mad props girl!
I came to your channel because of the dumpster dive videos but i have learned soo much from you Shelbi and i have made changes because of what i learned from you. It is crazy because this year i also took an environmental science class and that class and you have really changed my outlook in life. Thanks Shelbi I love you !
I found your channel from dumpster diving but stayed for the environmental issues. Due to your influence my wife and I are now recycling our garbage. We send much less to the landfills. Thank you for reforming this old hippy chick, and bringing me back to my roots.
I'm not gonna lie I one hundred percent stayed following your channel for the makeup dumpster diving hauls. but I stayed bc I love what you and Madison stand for and learning more about protecting the environment. I love your younow I get excited every time. I'm ricebrit7 on there and I love just watching and chatting. You keep doing you girl that's why your loyal subscribers are here bc we love that you're not gonna change just for views
I know this video is older, but I just discovered your channel and as someone who is interested in both the dumpster diving scene and becoming zero waste I am learning so much from you! Thank you! Currently looking for chico produce bags, and also planning to make some. On EarthHero they are sold out atm. Trying to find local in-store options for replacing my non-sustainable containers when the time comes. I`m not finding too many bulk store options in South Florida other than whole foods. Also, I`m wondering how many glass/reusable food containers do you have in your pantry?
I don't watch any of the makeup content, but love your enviro-stuff! As a fellow creator and texan i totally understand the frustration of youtube and having a segment of your sub base be there for something you either don't do anymore or isn't really what you're about. I have no solutions, only empathy and also love. What you put out into the world is amazing.
I love your educational content, the dumpster diving is how I found your channel, but as I watched you grow I became more and more interested in your content! I love the videos that you make, and love the direction you're taking with your platform!
I was waiting for this video. Can't wait to see videos from you where your heart is! I absolutely love where your heart is. I really appreciate all the knowledge you so freely share because I personally find it all very fascinating. I know I've missed a few videos but I'm just trying not to die of sleep deprivation with a newborn, very active 22 month old & 8 year old. I'm sure you know how much I love your channel!
I LOVE your sustainable & environmental content. Please make more. I love learning simple and affordable ways to reduce my environmental impact. I've always cared about the environment but have felt overwhelmed by how I can make a positive difference. You make things feel possible.
I don't watch the live streams because they are just soooo long. I won't watch much over 15 minutes. Occasionally 20 minutes. Nothing against your content I just don't have time for long uploads
I have a couple thousand videos on my to watch list... Because I couldn't make playlists for the longest time. Anyway, I watch long and short but with such a long list, I tend to go for the shorter ones first to reduce my list. Lol. I know I'm ridiculous with my list bring so long.
I watch long talking videos on Playback speed (one that is next to normal), so on the right upper corner there are 3 dots, you click it and the click to Playback speed and choose.
You know I found your channel through your ultra dumpster diving but when I saw that you were a environmentalist and a minimalist I got sooooo excited! Finally someone who believes like me and can challenge me. You and your videos have challenged me to go through my rooms of crap and purge and donate a lot, eventually in the spring I'm building a tiny house on wheels and traveling the nation. Thank you for challenging me to live my beliefs. You are an awesome young woman
I found you when you became more of a zero waste youtuber! I found you when you did a how to shop zero waste on amazon and I’ve watched you ever since! Keep doing what you’re doing girl, your real fans will stick around no matter what 😄
This video was so needed! I'm so glad you made it and published it. I have learned so much from you and my husband is happy with the changes we have made due to what I have learn from you. God bless you
Watching this video after I’ve seen so much of your new stuff, and I’m so happy you decided to go with your interests. Your channel is my absolute favorite resource for sustainable living items, clothing, and personal practices. This year I’m excited to swap to so many more eco-friendly items than I already have thanks to your reviews and dedication. Job well done!!!!
I found you through ulta dumpster diving and thought it was dumb. But I became to know more about you and your reasons behind dumpster diving. It means so much more than getting free stuff and making quick bucks. Keep doing what you are doing. You are doing great. Proud of you and your channel for not trying to be the popular kid for a quick second but standing up for what you truly believe in.
I did find you thru a ULTA video. However I love all of your videos! especially where your channel is headed! I love learning all this environmental stuff! 😍 your changing my views so much! And pushing me to be less waste full and all that jazz 😘
I don't usually comment, because I've always seen so much hate no matter what you comment, but I want you to know you have my support! I found you through the ulta videos but I stayed for everything else! keep doing you!
Watching 2 yrs later and I’ve been binging you for a week before even seeing a dumper dive video... your sustainable/waste free/etc living is 100% why I’m here and why I will stay here... I’m starting a journey in this direction and you are a main inspo for me & I have already shared you with friends and family so I THANK YOU!!!
I am not perfect when it comes to consumerism I buy a couple body shop products which at least somewhat ethically sourced. Don't feel guilty for not doing as much as you used to. Just be a member of the better human club lol! Try your best, sharing your knowledge to help others doesn't mean you have to be perfect.
I love your videos. You make me, a mom of two, feel like I can make a change and lessen my carbon footprint. Thank you for making it feel like a real life change and one that's easier and sustainable. ❤️❤️
Aww bless you ❤️ I've been following you for a few weeks now, as I'm looking to reduce my impact on the environment. I can really feel your sadness here, and I'm so proud of you and grateful that you followed your heart. You're so honest and true - I love that! Thank you for being you xxx
Your messages are so amazing shelb, the frustration is a real thing but definitely don't put aside your wants and passions to satisfy a small percentage of people. You do such great stuff and I've really been enjoying your content lately I've learned so much and it's absolutely fascinating to learn all these new things from you.
Gurl, I found your channel bc of your ulta dumpster diving haul, buuuut once you started making those other videos I honestly started caring about enviromental issues, you have teach me (and my family) so many interesting facts and things that we need to be aware of and start making litte changes. Keep the amaaaazing work! Love from Venezuela
you are the reason i am more environmentally conscious. i don't alwaus watch the instant you upload but, i struggle with depression and anxiety and i have been going to therapy and taking care of myself better. i am over a month behind on all my TH-cam subscriptions because i have been cleaning my house, doing things outside. getting my life back together. your videos have helped. im playing catchup now lol. i guess my point is that you have taught me and so many other people so much, I'm sorry if i don't always comment or watch right as you upload but I do watch!
I love you. I will admit I subscribed to you because of the ulta diving videos, but you have definitely taught me new things about the environment and my intake of products. You have a great balance.
I found your channel from your ultra dumpster diving videos & at first I watched because I thought it was so cool you were finding so much free stuff but the more I've watched your videos the more I've become aware of my impact on the environment. I'm now an avid recycler, I'm trying really hard to cut back on how much I own & I'm only buying things on an as needed basses & im working on using what I already have in my makeup stash. Your message isn't going un heard! love ya girl, keep up the good work
I really appreciate your authenticity and honesty. I've started watching a lot of your videos related to zero waste, and I like how it's not about the aesthetic for you and that you prioritize what's actually best for the environment, zero waste or not.
I started watching not that long ago and have completely enveloped myself in your save the earth attitude and this video popped up and I said “she does dumpster diving?”😂😂😂 oh boy that was a crazy way to learn
I think what you have been doing is super cool and while learning a lot of environmental issues and impacts in school taught me a lot you're videos have inspired me to really pay attention to what I've been doing and I always wanted to try dumpster diving because it is such a waste and I'm closer to reaching that goal through your videos so thank you 😊
I prefer your other videos anyway. Coz I don’t see myself dumpsters diving in NYC and I barely use make up (if any) on a daily basis. I love your low waste and zero waste shopping videos and videos about carry personal containers/utensils, etc. You go Shelby!
I'll admit I found you for the dumpster diving videos. it was entertaining but I thought wow you can find perfectly good stuff, for free, and help save the environment at the same time. I stayed because I have always cared about the environment and want to be better at it. so continue being you and I absolutely love what you're doing! Thank you
it's so uplifting to see someone stick up for themselves & what they believe in a thank you for continuing to make content to educate people on their impact!! AT FIRST THO I thought this video was gonna explain why dumpster diving is bad for the environment & I was going to cry bc I do it all the time thinking it's beneficial (donating a lot of Michaels Art Supplies to my old High School) so im even MORE glad that that was not the case 💕
you literally changed my mindset on so many things and even my life style. you are teaching things and making a change in people. i have commented on a couple videos a couple time but i don't usually like to comment LOL i have even debated on changing my major to environmental science!! you're great and i understand where you are coming from!
Well you have taught me a lot on my sustainable journey. I’m currently writing to bath and body works to request more sustainable packaging and will it monthly which is a great tip....
I came here for your minimalist/low waste vids and it was a bonus that you know so much. Because of you I learned that plastic is made from petroleum and now have drastically changed what I buy. I was also happy to find someone so upset with consumerism and shares my views with Black Friday. I actually only clicked on that video because I was like “girl what are u doing??” And was happy when it wasn’t a haul. Do you 👏🏻👏🏻
this video is why i keep coming back your honest truth and self love your tips they are so helpful and like that you educate. you do you,happy to listen
I also found your channel through your Ulta dumpster dives. I became a fan of yours and started watching a lot of your other videos. I started to become aware of my environmental impact and I am becoming more careful with what I do. So thank you, you are making an impact!😘
I love how honest and raw you are in the video. At the end of the day, it's your channel and your videos so you shouldn't feel obligated or forced to put up any content that you don't want to or you feel like doesn't align with your values. If people don't like it then they should just quietly click away :) I've always enjoyed your videos even if I don't comment. Keep doing you.
I originally found your channel for the Ulta dumpster diving videos. I've since watched almost all your videos and I've learned a lot from you. You've helped me be more environmentally aware and I like that you stay true to yourself! 🙂
I admit, I subscribed for the dumpster diving. I started dumpster diving to help support my family, then as we started always having the things we needed, I kept doing it to save things from the landfill. So I continue to watch your videos because I do enjoy the environmental aspects of it. I enjoy all the videos you put out Shelbi and you are doing great things for our planet. ❤️Ally May
i will be one to admit i found your channel through dumpster diving as well.. this is originally why i subscribed.. but you grew on me and i've learned a lot from you.. i do love you girl! i'm not always in the comments but that doesn't mean i don't watch you and care about you.. i watch every single one of your videos from beginning to end
I love watching this older video after having found your channel more recently and after having watched most of your new content. Bravo to you for sticking to your convictions rather than selling out!!! MUCH appreciated!
I found your channel through your coming out video! However I stayed because I really enjoy your eco friendly videos. Being environmentally friendly plays a large part in my life and I have learned new things by watching your videos (soap nuts? Who would have known!?) I Also love seeing someone with your following using the platform to spread environmental awareness!! Keep up the good work! I am sure you are opening the eyes of people who same here to see makeup videos!
I dont comment much, but I follow you because you are real. I love the fact that I learn something new everytime I watch. I also have noticed that my purchasing impulsively of make up, some food products, footwear and clothing (baby steps!) and beauty products has decreased since subscribing. I felt a little bit like a sheep when I realised that I have purchased about 7 lipsticks of almost the exact same shade and its all because of thier marketing strategy to make me feel like I NEED this right now. So now I stop and think a little more before I buy. Plus, its a great feeling to gift my extra make up and clothes to my friends and charity! So thank you, Your content is respected by myself for more then make up! But guuuurrrlll, you work that pretty face sooooo well! 🌱
So, I'm a new subscriber - thrilled you took this direction, and that you stayed true to yourself and your goals. Thank you for helping me to become a better human! I've also passed your channel on to inspire my 17YO child who graduates HS next year.
I ended up here through the dumpster diving videos but girl, it's so awesome that we still have people like you in this world who loves the environment and saving our planet somehow. Keep doing and teaching us because it's very important that your message keeps reaching people, we are here for you.
i watch your videos and your live streams,adding a few comments here and there. i've even shared your live streams to my instagram. i love all your content. you have the biggest heart for the environment and i think its awesome! i have learned oodles from you. you keep making your content how ever it suits you!!!! I will still be here supporting you. i have never dumpster dived but i think its awesome. i attack the enviornment in a few other ways too. handmade soap, make my own jewelry, shop at thrift stores and i look forward to trying the things in your videos. especially the eco nuts and wool balls. not only are they eco friendly but with four kids they will save me a ton of money. you're the greatest! dont stop being you! Hey Madison and Tippy!!!! They are sweet and funny also, glad you all found each other. :)
Just thought I'd chime in as someone who's just found your channel through your educational videos, and am only just now seeing the dumpster diving stuff. You did exactly what you aimed for in this video! I've learned so much from you and am now seeing all these ways I can be more environmentally responsible (amongst which is trying dumpster diving to divert some of that waste). Thanks for putting your videos out there - you're making a huge impact ❤
I'm so glad I stumbled upon you back when you were few in numbers. Your content has taught me a lot and I often share that information with others. I too care about our environment and enjoy learning steps I can take to reduce my footprint. Thank you for making great videos. I watch as many as I can, and I enjoy them all. #shelbyisrealAF
and the honesty that shed through in this video was amazing, don't feel bad or even feel the need to explain yourself, your true subscribers and livestream videos love and respect your content and understand what you're truly passionate about!
I know I'm only 2 years late...and I'm all about reduce, reuse, recycle, upcycling etc...but my biggest concern about dumpster diving and upcycling (and encouraging these things, particularly for textiles and furniture) is spreading things like bedbugs... this has become an epidemic and the increase in infestations is partly due to reuse and upcycling. As someone who has experienced this first hand, and it was one of the worst experiences of my life...I'm hesitant to even consider these things in an effort to reduce my own carbon footprint. I'm all about hearing about other alternatives that might address these issues though.
I found you through ulta dd, but i have never been dumpster diving in my life. but because of you, my mind is more open to the environment and you brought it to my attention. i never really thought about how important the environment is. The conversation we had about the Paris agreement brought light to how important the environment really is.
Can totally understand being frustrated by that. Have been watching nothing but your videos the past few days so I honestly can't remember the first video I watched. You have defiantly gave me tons of ideas on how to make a change. Using up my stuff and it's such a relief to find what swaps I'll be able to do in the future. Going to request some more eco-friendly items that I will actually use for christmas.
Hi Shelby, I am from Mexico, to be honest I just found your channel thanks to what to leave on 2018, or something like that, and when a dumpster diving video came along I started watching but didn,'y even finish it, and I like the way you share your knowledge at the moment it actually inspires me, but the reason I am commenting is because I thing you're being so hard on yourself in this video, every one stars their channel (as far as they share) with something that is not exactly what they truly want, I mean, they experiment, learn and grow from that experience, they evolve and your audience will too, focus on being you, (and I intensionally said being and not doing), on giving your best, and let go of the result, just trust in your own work and passion. Like I said I really enjoy your channel and by the way I think this is my second comment and I normally comment nothing even if I had being following for several years! :)
I started watching you because of you're dumpster diving but I've watched almost all of you're videos, you've taught me soo many things . I love you're content 💛💛💛
I’m so proud of you girly! You’re talking about how your unhappy with where your account is/going and that’s so admirable! I love all your videos but I didn’t know that your account became popular through dumpster diving!? I didn’t find you through those type of videos but I still think that those videos are important to your overall environmental impact so bravo to you! I’ve learned so much from you and I love the direction you’re taking your channel into! Thanks for everything you do, stay awesome ✨
Honestly, I love your environmental videos. I recently took an environmental course and I really enjoyed it. Unfortunately I won't be taking too many others due to my major but your channel has been a place where I can continue to learn about a subject that interests me. You inspire me to be a better human and to take better care of this earth!
I love your videos so much because you see the bigger picture! One of my favorite videos you have done was a follow me around while you gave facts about the environment! You keep it up! You are doing amazing and are so inspirational! Let the people weed themselves out. You have a true following and if you even change one persons heart, you have done an amazing thing!
I really like your Dumpster Diving Video, especially how you donate a lot of the food and household items you find and that you and Madison keep what you need! Plus it's great to see perfectly usable food or items out of the landfill! There are tons of just makeup vloggers, you're unique. I also enjoy how you use the food you find and give advice on how we can all be better for the environment! Take care and Blessings to you both
I've learned a lot from your videos on how to be better for the environment. For what it's worth, I didn't even know you did make up tutorials. You've been an inspiration and I hope you keep it up.
Watching this in 2020... it makes me so happy that you've "found your calling" so-to-speak. I love that zero waste content has brought you what I perceive to be as success and fulfillment.
I debated whether or not I should post this because it's really just a rant, but I feel like some people need to hear it (:
Shelbizleee yeah a lot of people need to hear this. I think this video is very important. I hope you know, because of you I have gotten rid of a lot of things because you made an impact on me. you made me open my eyes and realize I don't need all of the things I had. thank you.
Shelbizleee I needed it .
because of you i have changed alot of what i do and even have my kids going around picking trash up around the neighborhood... i may not comment on every video but please know i do watch every single video you post i even go and watch older ones from before i joined.. i love you keep up the good work you are making a difference
I have to say, I found you through the dumpster dives, but I love your other content even more.
I don't normally comment on your videos, but I do watch and I feel that I've learned a lot about our impact on the environment and the waste that people create. I found this channel because of the dumpster diving, but the other content is good too. Don't feel like you haven't had an impact on your viewers because you've definitely had one on me and a lot of other people who don't always speak up in the comments.
to be completely honest with you, i found your account through ulta dumpster diving. however, i began watching all of your videos whenever you uploaded and i have now found myself very interested in environmental issues. keep doing what youre doing. i completely support your channel and absolutely love your videos. love you !!
I love that, that's all I could ever hope for with my content and I also really appreciate it!
Shelbizleee I appreciate your videos and your message!
I found her channel the exact same way, and I too have became really interested in environmental issues. It's really changed the way I think and opened my eyes to what's going on and how we can help :D
I did too. I heard about it a couple months back and wanted to check it out. The more I watched your videos the more I loved what you were doing for the environment and everything you stand for! Before watch your videos I was trying to make more environmentally better decisions in my life and watching your videos taught me so much and really like a fire under my butt. I've already talked to my family about making better choices (like not using plastic and recycling more) and have even started making my own reusable bags for grocery shopping. I love your videos! And even more I love you you are educating so many people of such a serious topic! Keep up the great work love! ❤️♻️❤️
Same, I came for the dumpster diving, but the more I watch, you've definetly opened my mind to environmental issues.🌍& I love it.👩🌾💚
I'm actually really glad you addressed this. I hate seeing people begging for you to do giveaways in every video. Your content is amazing and you deserve to feel supported and not used. I love you and this channel and I'm along for the ride no matter where you take it
OMG Thank you Doris
Doris Bradshaw i know , hate the people that beg for her things!! At least offer to buy it!! People come on! Don't be so materialistic and greedy!
She finds it , at least offer gas or lunch money.
You dumpster diving attracted me, your message keeps me coming back. Your giveaways are not what I look for. I do want to see more diy that is geared to reducing, reusing, repurposing, and living simply.
Elizabeth Farling Exactly. Her dumpster diving vids first attracted me to this channel, but I appreciate the premise of Environmentalism, and I am able to learn more.
I agree!
I found you through your anti-hauls and stay for the environmental content. I’m not interested in makeup at all so I skip the Ulta dives. I love the low-waste ideas and watching how they work out for you.
I came for the environmentalism and stayed for that
I'm not going to lie. I came for the make up dives. But I STAY because you got me interested in your environmental videos! You are so different then all the other TH-camrs I watch! Thank you for sticking to your values
I know this is an older video, but I've been watching your videos for a couple of weeks... I didn't even know you did dumpster diving videos at all, but this popped up for me to watch and this honesty and realness made me subscribe. Keep up the good work helping to spread awareness on how to live a more sustainable life!
I came for the dumpster diving, and I stayed for the environmentalism. I think about my purchases more, I've been trying to minimize my wardrobe, and I try to be more conscious about the types of products I buy. You're making an impact, Shelby.
It's been almost 3 years since you posted this. I'm so glad you stayed true to yourself over this whole journey. Even when you were facing the daunting task of creating the content that you want instead of what your viewers want. I'm a relatively new subscriber (been here about a year I think) but you have been such a wonderful resource for me and helped me so much to reduce my eco footprint. Thank you!
I'm not going to lie. I came here for Ulta dives. But during the dives, I learned more about all of the environment stuff and it interests me. I plan on staying here. I'm one of the types of people that doesn't comment and just stays in the back. I'm here. I'm just hidden.
Could you do a video on the harmful effects of microbeads since they will stop being manufactured by July and a lot of people will be angry that some of their favorite products will stop being sold
Btw, like most, I found you through dumpster diving, however I have made an effort to watch some of your other videos and I think that you have truly changed my outlook on what I'm consuming
I must come from your second wave of more recent viewers. To be honest I didn't even know you did dumpster dives, or specifically those at ulta 😅.
Me too! 👍🏻
Me too!
I was just going to leave this comment!
Also I didn’t know you did live-streams and probably wouldn’t watch them anyway.
Me too!
2 1/2 years later and I just found you. Thank goodness you've been keeping on your track because you are going far!
Crazy I just found her too! Have watched at least 10vids & I'm hooked! Great minimalist/environmentalist! ❤
I found you recently, and I'm glad you're not just makeup and dumpster diving videos. I value the information you provide about sustainability, and found you through your 'antihauls'. I'm an ethical/health vegan also interested in reducing my environmental impact, so that was fun to watch. I stay for your 'how to do eco laundry', or 'zero waste meal prep' and 'least to most sustainable cloth products'. So thank you.
I love how your going back to doing what your heart wants to do most!! I did come to your channel from a ulta dumpster diving video but since then youve taught me so much and really opened up my mind on how to live a more conscious life 😊
That's so awesome to hear Alexis!!! I think it's been easy for me to look at the negative people and forget that I have been able to impact people like you. Thank you for reminding me
I love that i found you the other way around and just went back to watch your older videos! Go environment and after all this is YOUR channel!
I am SO PROUD TO BE A BIZZLE. Honestly, you make me a better person. I absolutely adore you and what's important to you. YOU are the kind of person that wants to see change and BECOMES the change. I love this channel. I love where it's going. I love you as a person and I love what you stand for. I'm so glad that you are different from any channel. I love that you're ready and willing to teach what matter most to you. The subscriber number doesn't matter. The content you put out does, and it's amazing. I stand for you and what your about. It hurts to feel the frustration that you do, but I'm glad you voiced those frustrations to make it clear. YOU ARE NOT ONE TO CONFORM and I know that you won't. I LOVE YOUR ECO FRIENDLY, ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE LIVIN GUTS DAMMIT!!! Please don't ever change because you, Shelbi, ARE ENOUGH!!! Your friend and supporter in all things at all times, Mara. ✌🏼
Girl... did you have to make me cry at work tho? LOL, you know I love you and I know the feeling is mutual, but putting this into words just makes it feel official. Love you Mara
Shelbizleee official like a referee with a whistle!!! These words you shared today are who you are and who you are is a phenomenal human being. All the love in the world, from me to you homie. ❤️✌🏼
Here is a video idea. With younger people not wanting harmful chemicals in their food and starting to grow gardens. I see people watching more videos on gardening. Well, you a queen at dumpster diving! Why not combine the two. Regrow the fruit/veggies with the seeds you get from dumpsters. Kind of a "Regrow" projects. Start small and work your way up. It could also help the environment due to people learning/knowing to grow food which will help with the demand in stores (I hope I'm explaining well enough). Also help with the waste issue. If gardening isn't your thing I understand. By the way I've learned a lot about environmental stuff on your channel. I haven't bought a single makeup item since your video on the impact on the environment. Keep up the good work!
Natasha Coleman Really good idea!! I've started my own garden, so i'd love to see videos like those! ❤️
I've been trying so hard to get into my community garden but it's been full since I applied in February :(
@@Shelbizleee You could have pots in your home
i completely agree with you about how we don't need to constantly go out and get new makeup. especially if it's expensive palettes and stuff like that. a lot of palette have the same colours so it's pointless to have 6 of the same colour!!!!
This makes me so happy that it’s been two years, and that looking back, you were able to change directions for what was better for you! (Also I came for the environmental and low-waste videos and hadn’t even ventured back into the makeup videos). Hoping that you’re feeling more fulfilled with your current content-making such a difference!
I would be lying if I said that I came across your channel for anything else but ulta dumpster diving but when I went back a few videos to see what other videos you had I got drawn in. Seeing your rant videos on important topics and thrift shopping hauls to talking about being a sjw and being vegan, I seen a person that had sooo many qualities that I strive to have in life. Just how you grew up being I guess you can call it an over consumer I was brought up the same way and watching your videos about all the above made me want to be a better person! It may sound a little cheesy lol but I now have a new understanding on the impact each and every person has on this planet every single day and I have you to thank for that. So thank you! For being inspiring and genuine and informative and motivated to making a difference! I will always be a subscriber and a support of what you are doing!💕💕💕
I watch ALL your videos and LOVE them. Seeing how passionate you are gave me the push to take my voice back and work harder to live responsibly and encourage others. I ended up spending this past winter and spring researching, writing and traveling with an organization as a youth mentor, helping kids launch eco-friendly businesses and projects. I even got to be a presenter at the world's largest Earth Day gathering this year. You set such an example and got me back on the path I want to be on. I look forward to anything and everything you put into future videos.
I honestly dont know how I found your channel but your channel has been instrumental in changing my entire life.....were now attempting to buy our first house and to be completely self sufficient recycling our own water supplying our own electricity and growing all our own food! I've turned my entire life around in 3 years!
I am watching this in 2021. I am so glad you found the determination to follow your passion: I have been learning so much from you about environmental and a healthy zero waste lifestyle. You are great to watch because of your enthusiasm and your friendly openness, but it is your passion and wisdom that keeps me coming back. Thank you for being the beautiful human that you are - your uploads are the best giveaway of all and the only one that matters.
So interesting. I've been watching you for a year now and suddenly your dumpster dive videos popped up. I'm so glad you focused on what you loved. Your channel is awesome in 2021, and I've learned so much.
I have just recently started watching your videos and I honestly just like you so much. You are a great person and you stand for a great cause. Every time I watch your videos I learn something new; keep doing what you do girl. I honestly started watching your videos because of the makeup but you've made me realize many things and you have honestly taught me a lot. thank you. Keep doing what you believe in and don't let anybody discourage you.
I subscribed to your channel because of the dumpster diving but since them I have grown to love all your videos and I strive to be more eco-friendly. you probably don't see me a lot in the comments but I watch all your videos. keep making videos that you love and that you want to make, some people may leave but this is your channel not theirs. I am looking forward to what you make in the future!
❤ - Olivia
That's awesome Olivia. I love to hear what you guys think about each video so feel free to keep the comments coming, even if you hate the video, haha. Thank you for this
Youve honestly taught me SO much. I used to always go out and buy new makeup. But I barely do that anymore and Ive joined two dumpster diving Facebook pages because of you! It makes me sad that you think people only watch you for makeup because you've seriously impacted my life and beliefs so much
I know I'm late to the party !!! I've watched your newer content and then this popped up. I'm so happy you got past your discouragement and continued on!!! You're super inspirational! I love it!
I found you in 2020 for your eco minimalism videos and stayed for them I love learning new ways to be more eco friendly, have been on a journey into minimalism since early 2020 and thought I was pretty eco friendly but have learnt so many ways to be more eco friendly thanks to you and others. I think you're brill, decided to go back to your first videos and love seeing your journey and do actually love most of your early video's too, I'm also very interested in dumpster diving, used to do it but 8+ years ago in a different town
I found you about 3 weeks ago by your ulta dumpsterdiving video but your personality and your passion gleaming through you has inspired me and made me want to stay (which I am) you're hella rad and standing for what you believe in is so amazing .. we don't really get that in life anymore , I really hope you upload more content speaking up about your passions and dreams and continue inspiring others. I wish you peace to the fullest ! Thank you so much for spreading peace , love and beauty that life has to offer xoxo
This video shows how brave you really are. It takes a lot of guts to say the things you did that could cause a loss of following because you were open about what you really want! Mad props girl!
I came to your channel because of the dumpster dive videos but i have learned soo much from you Shelbi and i have made changes because of what i learned from you. It is crazy because this year i also took an environmental science class and that class and you have really changed my outlook in life. Thanks Shelbi I love you !
I found your channel from dumpster diving but stayed for the environmental issues. Due to your influence my wife and I are now recycling our garbage. We send much less to the landfills. Thank you for reforming this old hippy chick, and bringing me back to my roots.
I'm not gonna lie I one hundred percent stayed following your channel for the makeup dumpster diving hauls. but I stayed bc I love what you and Madison stand for and learning more about protecting the environment. I love your younow I get excited every time. I'm ricebrit7 on there and I love just watching and chatting. You keep doing you girl that's why your loyal subscribers are here bc we love that you're not gonna change just for views
I know this video is older, but I just discovered your channel and as someone who is interested in both the dumpster diving scene and becoming zero waste I am learning so much from you! Thank you! Currently looking for chico produce bags, and also planning to make some. On EarthHero they are sold out atm. Trying to find local in-store options for replacing my non-sustainable containers when the time comes. I`m not finding too many bulk store options in South Florida other than whole foods. Also, I`m wondering how many glass/reusable food containers do you have in your pantry?
I don't watch any of the makeup content, but love your enviro-stuff! As a fellow creator and texan i totally understand the frustration of youtube and having a segment of your sub base be there for something you either don't do anymore or isn't really what you're about. I have no solutions, only empathy and also love. What you put out into the world is amazing.
Shelbi--you're the GOAT of yt wholesome af content. Love you boo! I'm so grateful that you know who you are, and are not afraid to show it!
I love your educational content, the dumpster diving is how I found your channel, but as I watched you grow I became more and more interested in your content! I love the videos that you make, and love the direction you're taking with your platform!
I was waiting for this video. Can't wait to see videos from you where your heart is! I absolutely love where your heart is. I really appreciate all the knowledge you so freely share because I personally find it all very fascinating. I know I've missed a few videos but I'm just trying not to die of sleep deprivation with a newborn, very active 22 month old & 8 year old. I'm sure you know how much I love your channel!
I LOVE your sustainable & environmental content. Please make more. I love learning simple and affordable ways to reduce my environmental impact. I've always cared about the environment but have felt overwhelmed by how I can make a positive difference. You make things feel possible.
I don't watch the live streams because they are just soooo long. I won't watch much over 15 minutes. Occasionally 20 minutes. Nothing against your content I just don't have time for long uploads
Definitely understandable!
I have a couple thousand videos on my to watch list... Because I couldn't make playlists for the longest time. Anyway, I watch long and short but with such a long list, I tend to go for the shorter ones first to reduce my list. Lol. I know I'm ridiculous with my list bring so long.
I watch long talking videos on Playback speed (one that is next to normal), so on the right upper corner there are 3 dots, you click it and the click to Playback speed and choose.
You know I found your channel through your ultra dumpster diving but when I saw that you were a environmentalist and a minimalist I got sooooo excited! Finally someone who believes like me and can challenge me. You and your videos have challenged me to go through my rooms of crap and purge and donate a lot, eventually in the spring I'm building a tiny house on wheels and traveling the nation. Thank you for challenging me to live my beliefs. You are an awesome young woman
I found you when you became more of a zero waste youtuber! I found you when you did a how to shop zero waste on amazon and I’ve watched you ever since! Keep doing what you’re doing girl, your real fans will stick around no matter what 😄
This video was so needed! I'm so glad you made it and published it. I have learned so much from you and my husband is happy with the changes we have made due to what I have learn from you. God bless you
Watching this video after I’ve seen so much of your new stuff, and I’m so happy you decided to go with your interests. Your channel is my absolute favorite resource for sustainable living items, clothing, and personal practices. This year I’m excited to swap to so many more eco-friendly items than I already have thanks to your reviews and dedication. Job well done!!!!
I found you through ulta dumpster diving and thought it was dumb. But I became to know more about you and your reasons behind dumpster diving. It means so much more than getting free stuff and making quick bucks. Keep doing what you are doing. You are doing great. Proud of you and your channel for not trying to be the popular kid for a quick second but standing up for what you truly believe in.
I did find you thru a ULTA video. However I love all of your videos! especially where your channel is headed! I love learning all this environmental stuff! 😍 your changing my views so much! And pushing me to be less waste full and all that jazz 😘
And you made the correct choice Shelbi! 😊👍
I don't usually comment, because I've always seen so much hate no matter what you comment, but I want you to know you have my support! I found you through the ulta videos but I stayed for everything else! keep doing you!
Watching 2 yrs later and I’ve been binging you for a week before even seeing a dumper dive video... your sustainable/waste free/etc living is 100% why I’m here and why I will stay here... I’m starting a journey in this direction and you are a main inspo for me & I have already shared you with friends and family so I THANK YOU!!!
I am not perfect when it comes to consumerism I buy a couple body shop products which at least somewhat ethically sourced. Don't feel guilty for not doing as much as you used to. Just be a member of the better human club lol! Try your best, sharing your knowledge to help others doesn't mean you have to be perfect.
I love your videos. You make me, a mom of two, feel like I can make a change and lessen my carbon footprint. Thank you for making it feel like a real life change and one that's easier and sustainable. ❤️❤️
Aww bless you ❤️ I've been following you for a few weeks now, as I'm looking to reduce my impact on the environment. I can really feel your sadness here, and I'm so proud of you and grateful that you followed your heart. You're so honest and true - I love that! Thank you for being you xxx
Your messages are so amazing shelb, the frustration is a real thing but definitely don't put aside your wants and passions to satisfy a small percentage of people. You do such great stuff and I've really been enjoying your content lately I've learned so much and it's absolutely fascinating to learn all these new things from you.
+Kailey M thank you so much for taking the time to tell me that Kailey. I really appreciate it ❤️
Gurl, I found your channel bc of your ulta dumpster diving haul, buuuut once you started making those other videos I honestly started caring about enviromental issues, you have teach me (and my family) so many interesting facts and things that we need to be aware of and start making litte changes. Keep the amaaaazing work! Love from Venezuela
you are the reason i am more environmentally conscious. i don't alwaus watch the instant you upload but, i struggle with depression and anxiety and i have been going to therapy and taking care of myself better. i am over a month behind on all my TH-cam subscriptions because i have been cleaning my house, doing things outside. getting my life back together. your videos have helped. im playing catchup now lol. i guess my point is that you have taught me and so many other people so much, I'm sorry if i don't always comment or watch right as you upload but I do watch!
I love you. I will admit I subscribed to you because of the ulta diving videos, but you have definitely taught me new things about the environment and my intake of products. You have a great balance.
I found your channel from your ultra dumpster diving videos & at first I watched because I thought it was so cool you were finding so much free stuff but the more I've watched your videos the more I've become aware of my impact on the environment. I'm now an avid recycler, I'm trying really hard to cut back on how much I own & I'm only buying things on an as needed basses & im working on using what I already have in my makeup stash. Your message isn't going un heard! love ya girl, keep up the good work
I really appreciate your authenticity and honesty. I've started watching a lot of your videos related to zero waste, and I like how it's not about the aesthetic for you and that you prioritize what's actually best for the environment, zero waste or not.
I started watching not that long ago and have completely enveloped myself in your save the earth attitude and this video popped up and I said “she does dumpster diving?”😂😂😂 oh boy that was a crazy way to learn
I think what you have been doing is super cool and while learning a lot of environmental issues and impacts in school taught me a lot you're videos have inspired me to really pay attention to what I've been doing and I always wanted to try dumpster diving because it is such a waste and I'm closer to reaching that goal through your videos so thank you 😊
I prefer your other videos anyway. Coz I don’t see myself dumpsters diving in NYC and I barely use make up (if any) on a daily basis. I love your low waste and zero waste shopping videos and videos about carry personal containers/utensils, etc. You go Shelby!
I'll admit I found you for the dumpster diving videos. it was entertaining but I thought wow you can find perfectly good stuff, for free, and help save the environment at the same time. I stayed because I have always cared about the environment and want to be better at it. so continue being you and I absolutely love what you're doing! Thank you
Ugh I respect and love this so much! You could’ve easily done what gets you the most views, but you stayed true to who you truly are! Much love Shel 💛
Kudos to you for being true to yourself and your passion!! It is refreshing to see someone be so authentic.
it's so uplifting to see someone stick up for themselves & what they believe in a thank you for continuing to make content to educate people on their impact!! AT FIRST THO I thought this video was gonna explain why dumpster diving is bad for the environment & I was going to cry bc I do it all the time thinking it's beneficial (donating a lot of Michaels Art Supplies to my old High School) so im even MORE glad that that was not the case 💕
you literally changed my mindset on so many things and even my life style. you are teaching things and making a change in people. i have commented on a couple videos a couple time but i don't usually like to comment LOL i have even debated on changing my major to environmental science!! you're great and i understand where you are coming from!
Well you have taught me a lot on my sustainable journey. I’m currently writing to bath and body works to request more sustainable packaging and will it monthly which is a great tip....
I came here for your minimalist/low waste vids and it was a bonus that you know so much. Because of you I learned that plastic is made from petroleum and now have drastically changed what I buy. I was also happy to find someone so upset with consumerism and shares my views with Black Friday. I actually only clicked on that video because I was like “girl what are u doing??” And was happy when it wasn’t a haul. Do you 👏🏻👏🏻
this video is why i keep coming back your honest truth and self love your tips they are so helpful and like that you educate. you do you,happy to listen
I also found your channel through your Ulta dumpster dives. I became a fan of yours and started watching a lot of your other videos. I started to become aware of my environmental impact and I am becoming more careful with what I do. So thank you, you are making an impact!😘
I love how honest and raw you are in the video. At the end of the day, it's your channel and your videos so you shouldn't feel obligated or forced to put up any content that you don't want to or you feel like doesn't align with your values. If people don't like it then they should just quietly click away :) I've always enjoyed your videos even if I don't comment. Keep doing you.
I originally found your channel for the Ulta dumpster diving videos. I've since watched almost all your videos and I've learned a lot from you. You've helped me be more environmentally aware and I like that you stay true to yourself! 🙂
I admit, I subscribed for the dumpster diving. I started dumpster diving to help support my family, then as we started always having the things we needed, I kept doing it to save things from the landfill. So I continue to watch your videos because I do enjoy the environmental aspects of it. I enjoy all the videos you put out Shelbi and you are doing great things for our planet. ❤️Ally May
i will be one to admit i found your channel through dumpster diving as well.. this is originally why i subscribed.. but you grew on me and i've learned a lot from you.. i do love you girl! i'm not always in the comments but that doesn't mean i don't watch you and care about you.. i watch every single one of your videos from beginning to end
I love watching this older video after having found your channel more recently and after having watched most of your new content. Bravo to you for sticking to your convictions rather than selling out!!! MUCH appreciated!
I found your channel through your coming out video! However I stayed because I really enjoy your eco friendly videos. Being environmentally friendly plays a large part in my life and I have learned new things by watching your videos (soap nuts? Who would have known!?) I Also love seeing someone with your following using the platform to spread environmental awareness!! Keep up the good work! I am sure you are opening the eyes of people who same here to see makeup videos!
I dont comment much, but I follow you because you are real. I love the fact that I learn something new everytime I watch. I also have noticed that my purchasing impulsively of make up, some food products, footwear and clothing (baby steps!) and beauty products has decreased since subscribing. I felt a little bit like a sheep when I realised that I have purchased about 7 lipsticks of almost the exact same shade and its all because of thier marketing strategy to make me feel like I NEED this right now. So now I stop and think a little more before I buy. Plus, its a great feeling to gift my extra make up and clothes to my friends and charity! So thank you, Your content is respected by myself for more then make up! But guuuurrrlll, you work that pretty face sooooo well! 🌱
So, I'm a new subscriber - thrilled you took this direction, and that you stayed true to yourself and your goals. Thank you for helping me to become a better human! I've also passed your channel on to inspire my 17YO child who graduates HS next year.
I ended up here through the dumpster diving videos but girl, it's so awesome that we still have people like you in this world who loves the environment and saving our planet somehow. Keep doing and teaching us because it's very important that your message keeps reaching people, we are here for you.
i watch your videos and your live streams,adding a few comments here and there. i've even shared your live streams to my instagram. i love all your content. you have the biggest heart for the environment and i think its awesome! i have learned oodles from you. you keep making your content how ever it suits you!!!! I will still be here supporting you. i have never dumpster dived but i think its awesome. i attack the enviornment in a few other ways too. handmade soap, make my own jewelry, shop at thrift stores and i look forward to trying the things in your videos. especially the eco nuts and wool balls. not only are they eco friendly but with four kids they will save me a ton of money. you're the greatest! dont stop being you! Hey Madison and Tippy!!!! They are sweet and funny also, glad you all found each other. :)
I LOOOVE your cat!!! 💜💜💜💜💜
LOL he's a brat, but I will tell him you said that ;D
Shelbizleee Give him a snuggle from me!!
Just thought I'd chime in as someone who's just found your channel through your educational videos, and am only just now seeing the dumpster diving stuff. You did exactly what you aimed for in this video! I've learned so much from you and am now seeing all these ways I can be more environmentally responsible (amongst which is trying dumpster diving to divert some of that waste). Thanks for putting your videos out there - you're making a huge impact ❤
I'm so glad I stumbled upon you back when you were few in numbers. Your content has taught me a lot and I often share that information with others. I too care about our environment and enjoy learning steps I can take to reduce my footprint. Thank you for making great videos. I watch as many as I can, and I enjoy them all. #shelbyisrealAF
Thank you so much Rachel!
OMG, you're a member of the nation! That makes me so happy, I love Philly D! And Shane too
I love your content and everything you stand for and how willing you are to share your knowledge with others. You're awesome shelbs!!!!
and the honesty that shed through in this video was amazing, don't feel bad or even feel the need to explain yourself, your true subscribers and livestream videos love and respect your content and understand what you're truly passionate about!
I know I'm only 2 years late...and I'm all about reduce, reuse, recycle, upcycling etc...but my biggest concern about dumpster diving and upcycling (and encouraging these things, particularly for textiles and furniture) is spreading things like bedbugs... this has become an epidemic and the increase in infestations is partly due to reuse and upcycling. As someone who has experienced this first hand, and it was one of the worst experiences of my life...I'm hesitant to even consider these things in an effort to reduce my own carbon footprint. I'm all about hearing about other alternatives that might address these issues though.
I found you through ulta dd, but i have never been dumpster diving in my life. but because of you, my mind is more open to the environment and you brought it to my attention. i never really thought about how important the environment is. The conversation we had about the Paris agreement brought light to how important the environment really is.
Can totally understand being frustrated by that. Have been watching nothing but your videos the past few days so I honestly can't remember the first video I watched. You have defiantly gave me tons of ideas on how to make a change. Using up my stuff and it's such a relief to find what swaps I'll be able to do in the future. Going to request some more eco-friendly items that I will actually use for christmas.
Hi Shelby, I am from Mexico, to be honest I just found your channel thanks to what to leave on 2018, or something like that, and when a dumpster diving video came along I started watching but didn,'y even finish it, and I like the way you share your knowledge at the moment it actually inspires me, but the reason I am commenting is because I thing you're being so hard on yourself in this video, every one stars their channel (as far as they share) with something that is not exactly what they truly want, I mean, they experiment, learn and grow from that experience, they evolve and your audience will too, focus on being you, (and I intensionally said being and not doing), on giving your best, and let go of the result, just trust in your own work and passion. Like I said I really enjoy your channel and by the way I think this is my second comment and I normally comment nothing even if I had being following for several years! :)
I started watching you because of you're dumpster diving but I've watched almost all of you're videos, you've taught me soo many things . I love you're content 💛💛💛
I’m so proud of you girly! You’re talking about how your unhappy with where your account is/going and that’s so admirable! I love all your videos but I didn’t know that your account became popular through dumpster diving!? I didn’t find you through those type of videos but I still think that those videos are important to your overall environmental impact so bravo to you! I’ve learned so much from you and I love the direction you’re taking your channel into! Thanks for everything you do, stay awesome ✨
Honestly, I love your environmental videos. I recently took an environmental course and I really enjoyed it. Unfortunately I won't be taking too many others due to my major but your channel has been a place where I can continue to learn about a subject that interests me. You inspire me to be a better human and to take better care of this earth!
I love your videos so much because you see the bigger picture! One of my favorite videos you have done was a follow me around while you gave facts about the environment!
You keep it up! You are doing amazing and are so inspirational! Let the people weed themselves out. You have a true following and if you even change one persons heart, you have done an amazing thing!
Also, if you have any tips on the minimalist lifestyle that would be an awesome video! I'm trying to become more minimalistic
Good you are so open about this!
I love watching your video's and you have tought me so much over the last few months. Thank you Shelbi :)
I really like your Dumpster Diving Video, especially how you donate a lot of the food and household items you find and that you and Madison keep what you need! Plus it's great to see perfectly usable food or items out of the landfill! There are tons of just makeup vloggers, you're unique. I also enjoy how you use the food you find and give advice on how we can all be better for the environment!
Take care and Blessings to you both
I've learned a lot from your videos on how to be better for the environment. For what it's worth, I didn't even know you did make up tutorials. You've been an inspiration and I hope you keep it up.
