Every time I post, it's an initial flush of unsubscribes. Now you can't see it because my channel only shows every 100 subs, but if you look at the analytics, its almost always negative growth 🤪. Now I'm going to branch into more lifestyle, I'm sure it will drop again! But I do need to do what feeds my soul as well as what is interesting to my subscribers...I can't keep doing 2 makeup videos a week. After 3 1/2 years, that's a lot of makeup videos!
I hear you Lisa! I felt the same way! I can't wait to see what you do!
Lisa, I subscribe to your channel too. I enjoy many different channels and it seems a lot of you are changing direction. I get it, I can’t imagine doing so many makeup videos. I look forward to what you all will do in 2023.
I am going through the same chapter. My 50’s!! And I would like to simplify my life and concentrate more in me, my family, and friendship. Create new fun memories and re invent myself.
I think priorities change when you reach at a certain age. I just recently found your channel and I love it.
When we moved my mom into assisted living, my sister and I easily cleaned out her home in a weekend. Her linen closet contained exactly four things, and all the shelves were nice and clean. My dad, who had died years earlier, had made sure his garage contained only necessities. That experience heightened my awareness of what we have in our home and what needed to go.
I’m glad you’re starting to feel better , you’ve been missed! Please don’t ever quit-
Thank you for telling me that Donna. It’s good to be missed! 🥰
Yes ! Do NOT STOP !! I love your channel Bobbie !!
I am in my 60’s and I love But First Coffee- Kallie is so honest and real. I always learn something from her. The same with the Minimal Mom. I just spent the last year decluttering and organizing. Both of those channels taught me a lot. After my mom passed a few years ago, I had two weeks to clean everything out of her home. I vowed to never do that to anyone else when my time comes. Kudos to you.
Erin the Swedish death cleaning (SDC) method is working really well for me , much more so than that kondo thing lol.
The SDC focuses on going through and getting rid of those things that you either never use or have no idea why you kept it like greeting cards.
For heirlooms you don't really use, pass them on now. For the other stuff, keep what's really important to you and tell the heirs why.
So many people whose parents, relatives, friends die end up keeping things that they think meant something to you or feeling guilty for tossing them all because they guess you must've loved it because you kept it when many times that's not really the case.
@@tracyjohnson5023 Thanks- good to know. I actually did my own decluttering/downsizing about a year/year and a half ago. I used the Organize 365 process- 3 rounds and it worked for me. I also used the Minimal Mom, But First Coffee, ClutterBug, and a few others for motivation. I did read Marie Kondo's book and I found some merit in some of what she said. I shied away from the Swedish Death Cleaning videos because at the time- the word death hit too close to home but the concept as a whole is a good one.
@@erinf4712 I love clutterbug
What a blast from the past. I used to watch "but first coffee" when she was exclusively a makeup channel. I stopped watching after she had kids and became more of a mom life lifestyle channel. She's definitely a great channel to watch.
I am SO GLAD you are not quitting TH-cam! I feel like you’ve been my friend for over 3 years! 🤗 I’m in the same season of life and I just love all you content! I’m excited to simplify my home this year as well! My mom had to move into assisted living and my sister and I had so much stuff to deal with 😩- so I’m desiring to minimize & simplify my home as well. Wishing you a very Happy New Year! ❤🎉
I’m happy to be your TH-cam friend Pam. 2023 is going to end way more simplified!
I have a hard time sticking to a productive daily routine
Hi Bobbi! I love your channel and cannot wait to follow along with you in 2023. I am 55 and feel the same way you do in so many ways. I recently retired from 29 years in public education. I thought I would have so much time to get so many things done… organization, decluttering, crafting, etc, but it seems I’m busier than ever and I don’t volunteer or do anything other than my home and family -and I have no grandchildren yet. My current struggle has to do with what I really want to do with my time and my home, which could lead to less “stuff” if that makes sense. 🙃🙃 I love crafting, but I don’t really have a dedicated space for it so my office/craft room is a wreck IMO. IT drives me CRAZY! Because like you, I feel in a lot of ways I’m ahead of the game with organization and decluttering. So, I’m struggling with just giving up the crafting. I spend a lot of money on supplies and then don’t get half the stuff made and then what do I do with it once I’ve made it and used it for a season…I have to find a place to store it. 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️. I also love decorating my home for the holidays - mostly fall and Christmas, but that’s time consuming as well. So…those are my two things-minor compared to those who have real struggles, so I don’t mean to sound shallow. I spend too much money on makeup and skincare products that don’t work for me or that I simply don’t like, so I’m looking for what works for me, what I really like and trying to stick with just those things. I need to lose about 35 pounds (thank you Menopause ), so I’m going to focus on getting back to working out, but again-doing what works for me now. I sometimes wish I was talented or interesting enough to have a TH-cam channel, but then I watch you, and the Minimal Mom, and But First Coffee and I think there is no way I could commit that much time and effort, so I appreciate you and applaud you for hanging in there. Happy 2023! 🎉🎉
Hi Rhonda I too bought a lot of makeup because I love it all, but I went on a year long mission after my husband said...you have too much product. I decided to use up product and I tracked it all. I used up like 48 bottles of lotions (some were gifted to me). I used up like 7 foundations I didn't like them and would not rebuy them. And a ton of skincare (that I did like). 10 bottles of sunscreen that I didn't like but were gonna go bad if I didn't use it up. I had a huge trash bag in my garage where I kept the empty bottles so I could take a photo of it at the end of the year. All so I could say I did it. There were other things like shampoos, conditioners, supplements, makeup and body sprays and gels. My goal was to use up product rather than to let them take up space and go bad. Many i would never buy again. I am like you but, not retired. I like to decorate but i need to scale back. I like my stuff too much👀. So it's baby steps. I need to lose weight too. It's gonna be a challenge; but you can do this.
Oh Bobbi, I'm sending you a huge virtual hug! I, too have been sick since the beginning of November and now I have the stomach flu! I totally can relate about the work that goes into YT and it is a lonely job. Any time you want to chat, you know that you can reach out to me. I plan to get back to reading too. Last year was a blur and this year I want to make time every day for myself. Time management is a struggle; balancing between work, family and taking care of myself. You are a joy to watch Bobbi! Best wishes for 2023! 💖
Aww, thanks Cathy! I'm so sorry you have been sick! Time mangement is always a struggle! Thanks for the hug!
This is exciting. Can't wait to see where you take us. There are so many issues which affect us midlife ladies that you can address. I have been thinking the same type thoughts. We are of the age where we need to get things in order, finances, health, food, possessions... I also love that you are a believer and your faith is important to you. I struggle with finding peace in this world of constant bad (awful) things happening every day. Trying to find a way to not be so anxious and feel hopeful. I think that you are moving in the right direction and you can depend on me to hang in with you.
So glad you are continuing your channel! When I became a widow at 50, I realized how hard it was to maintain my home. I ended up sacrificing my social life to keep up with the yard and house. It is hard work! My New Year’s resolution aligns with yours in a way…. To get rid of stuff so I do not have to spend most of my time on chores. I am working on being more social and enjoying life in 2023! Wishing everyone a Happy and Healthy New Year!
I so appreciate this new direction. I’m on the same journey to streamline, simplify and gain back precious moments to channel my energy to what REALLY matters. I’m enjoying a real estate career change to a new brokerage and I’m back on track for better health and wellness. There’s so much misinformation out there but keep surrounding yourself with those who align with your goals and who genuinely cheer you on!
Hi Bobbi. I am a few years older than you and I have evolved into a more mindful mindset too. I no longer am interested in the latest but want to have and buy only good quality products that work for me and I can be loyal too. Less has certainly become more! I am really looking forward to your upcoming videos!
Hi Bobbie! I'm 62, a stay home wife, a dog mom, and a grandma of 2. I have been thinking about doing everything you talked about!! I can't wait to go on this journey with you!! Happy New Year!!
You are my people! 🤗
One of my biggest challenges: friendships. I’ve always been someone who has lots of acquaintances, and a couple good friends (primarily through work). Between retirement, the isolation of the pandemic (I’ve basically resumed pre-2020 activities), friends moving away and (biggest of all) finding myself no longer in step with my old friends, I’ve found myself more & more relying solely on my husband for connection (poor guy!). It’s hard to make friends in your 60s! That’s one of my goals for the year: connect with a new friend
I’m right there with you, JD., for all the reasons you mention above. Making a friend or friends is a goal of mine. I’m 72 and it is very difficult. Good luck! 😊
Very heartfelt sentiment, & it really resonated with me. I've been slowly simplifying over the last 3-4 yrs since I retired, & now especially this past year since my separation after 22 yrs of marriage (I'm 55). I've grown SO MUCH, & I'm truly in a good place focusing on ME, my faith, my sons / parents / family, as well as my friends. My friendships are closer & much more meaningful than every before ! I'm having FUN ! I now own a Much smaller house, but I'm doing upgrades and repairs myself. I sold and donated 1/2 of my stuff. The level of personal growth is mindblowing. You're on the right track. Just keep on it, & remember it doesn't need to happen overnight. You'll get there ! God bless!
I so appreciate you Bobbi. Love your channel and how “real” you are. I’m wishing you nothing but the very best……YOU GOT THIS GIRL! I’ll be here cheering you on! I find so much “relatable” on your channel and enjoy your truthfulness. Thank you for being you and being here! Hugs from Maine!
I am new to watching you and really enjoy listening to you and what you focus on. When I am listening to you it's like having a friend in the room, telling me information. Thank You
Sooooo excited for the change in your channel. Your goals are just what I need!
You are awesome. So glad you’re not quitting!
You just seem like the kindest sweetest person. I can see why that video could have made you cry. At the time I’m watching you have 53k I’m loving your personality. I love make up but you as a person have made me binge watch your videos. I have already seen we have so much in common I will keep coming back because you are bringing me joy in a time I feel down and alone. I love reading too and somehow I stopped reading. I’m checking out Kristen Hannah now lol
I retired 5 1/2 years ago but kept trying to work either part-time or even full-time. Despite promised employment nothing came to fruition so, this year I’m actually retiring- purging my closet (work clothes, etc), and will truly embrace not working outside the home. My young adult sons live with me & I will focus on being more available to them. Thank You, Bobbi- Love & Hugs
Hi Bobbie, I've been here for a few years and love your channel! I'm 57 and I find that I'm just plain lazy when it comes to being motivated to get more organized. I work full time and keep my house and yard up and take care of my family and serve at church and after that I just want to sit and read or watch TH-cam! Looking forward to coming on the 'simplify' journey with you 😊
I completely understand Kim! I plan on making this doable for all no matter what schedule!
Glad you are sticking with it! I look forward to what the new year brings and I like your new direction. I would like to see content on wasting less time on social media,reading more books, time with God, exercising, cooking. Still love your makeup and hair content. How to get up in the morning and accomplish more in my day. Thank you!
Oh, Bobbi! I think your new journey will be fantastic! I watch The Minimal Mom…it’s a wonderful, important channel! I am a 66 yr old woman who retired just last November, sold our home and moved to a new state in a small house! I did a huge purge and it feels so good! More time to enjoy life! I look forward to your new change! You can do it!!!
I, too, am focusing on being more mindful in my home and working on decluttering! I live alone and realize what a burden it could be for my siblings to have to come in after I've passed and clean out all of my stuff. If I can get working on that now, as a mid-lifer too, it will be so much better. Plus, I want to have fun when I retire in a few years, Lord willing, and not be weighed down with all of my stuff! Great video and excited about the changes!♥
I’m looking forward to this new direction of your channel! ❤
I am so sorry you are struggling Bobbie ! Rest assured I love your channel ! I love the idea of videos showing drug store brands of makeup, I personally don’t want to spend the money on high end and then I don’t like it after I get it ! I also like the idea of you showing us how you downsize your home and how you get your husband on board with it ! I love your house and would like to see how you decorate, clean, organize etc. Also your older craft videos were fun too. Please stick with it Bobbie ! You are a blessing !
I'm 64 and the simple home keeps coming to my mind. I don't want my kids to have to deal with it like I had to do. I started with the other day as I was starting to put up one of the Christmas trees, decorations I haven't used in years...donating lots.
I enjoy watching your videos. Good luck with your journey de-cluttering/simplifying. I began 5 years ago after my mom passed away. She had very little and only had what was essential. I have anxiety so I try not to put so much pressure on myself for not getting rid of everything at once. There are many videos stressing minimalism. Whatever you put out is always thought out and carefully executed. Thank you for your time and honesty. Don’t be so hard on yourself. It’s better to have subscribers that always watch your videos than subscribers that are only subscribed but don’t watch and care for you as a person. ❤
I totally agree with the home reset. My mom is going to assisted living next Monday and I alone will have to go through the entire house. It is so full of stuff and I'm so overwhelmed. I'm going to follow along with you and get my house simplified for myself and for my kids so they won't have such a task later on. Excited for you! I think you are going in the right direction with your channel 💗
I am so glad you did this video. I turned 60 last May and have been going through the same journey in simplifying my home and my budget. I saved $12k in spending and have simplified my home, wardrobe, attic, everything. It is so liberating! Congrats to your new direction. Can't wait to see what you share!
You are too cute (and I'm about to turn 60 this year!) No need to apologize for yourself!!! Don't do it! You are putting yourself out there and kudos to you!! Looking forward to seeing you as a new subscriber!
So excited for this year as well. The direction you are taking is right up my alley on how I want to focus this midlife. I'm 53 and along with kids & grandkids I want to enjoy in my later years, I want to enjoy my life and not have so much junk to deal with(physical & mental). I'm just getting over covid which I dodged this whole darn time til now. So here is to health, happiness and simplicity!!
I understand completely. I have a TH-cam channel (different subject) started in 2020 and I'm not even at 700 yet. It's hard to always have something interesting. I also still work a full time job.
I love your channel, I was watching Lisa Monique and Nikol. I find that I find more relevant info for me on your channel. I love that it's not just makeup but skin care and weight loss (I really struggle with). Please don't stop....😊❤❤❤
I’ve been watching your channel since the beginning and I enjoy your content. Hang in there! I hope that 2023 is good to you!
Wow! thanks for sticking with me! 🥰
Hi Bobbi! I'm so glad to have found you! I am right where you are in so many ways! Thank you for all the time and effort you have put into your channel, and keep up the great work. Now on to binge watching your videos!!!
Bobby my name is Jenifer ! I want to encourage you by saying I ABSOLUTELY love your channel. I am always waiting for a new video and love all your content. Please keep going! As a fellow 50 something you have blessed me and I consider you a friend! Thank you for all you do ❤️
Wow, thank you Jenifer! Haha, I'm glad you said your name. I don't generally respond to any male comments - just being safe.
I watch your adult daughter Christmas videos and love them. I get into TH-cam watching at Christmas more than the rest of the year. You just popped up in my feed and I watched this video. Shame on me. I wasn't subscribed! I not only subscribed but hit the bell. So much of this video resonated with me. I'm 54 and at the same phase of life you are. I've been at the same company for 23 years and am "ramping down" to get ready to retire. I just moved my parents from their long time home to a retirement apt. It took us 7 weeks to move them and get rid of their stuff. I'm watching my parents who cared more about stuff than experiences and how it impacted their life. They don't live life, travel, get out, etc. It really impacted me!
I love your new focus and TOTALLY need it. I can't wait to hear more. I need to downsize Christmas and have already started planning on how with my husband and adult kids. So excited for you and your clarity! You Go Girl!
Welcome, Lara! I’m really excited for this new direction as well!
So glad you’re going to show more makeup I can afford. I’m retired and don’t like to spend so much money on makeup. Love your videos
Love this! And your captions when you were doing your eyebrows made me chuckle.
I can totally relate to what you're saying - wanting to simplify and make room for the most important things! Look forward to following your journey!
Thank you for not giving up!!❤️
I’m glad I didn’t as well. Thanks Laura!!
Thank you Bobbie for being so transparent. We all need to pare down our expenses and use products which are less expensive especially during these challenging economic times. I look forward to the changes in your vlogs. January and the new year is the time to make changes which will impact our lives. Happy New Year to you and your family.
Indeed Kathy! Everything is more expensive but sadly our income isn’t usually more. The only thing we can control is our purchases.
Happy New Year! I missed you Bobbi! So sorry that you weren’t feeling well over the holidays. I am excited about learning your tips and tricks to simplifying life, watching your drugstore makeup/skincare reviews, and of course your warmth and humour. You may not have a million subscribers (yet), but the ones you do have, adore you.💕🇨🇦
Just found your channel and have been enjoying it.I am 57 and definitely have been having the same thoughts on simplified life and retirement.
I enjoy all your videos. I smile every time I watch them. Thank you 😊
Love the mindful shift. I also love the peaceful vibe instead of listening to the world so much.
I had to retire in my forties for medical reasons. It truly took me over a year to get used to retirement. I hated it. You will fall into a rhythm and you will love it.
Love, love, LOVE your new approach! You are the sweet and authentic voice of reason. I've had to stop following TH-camrs who take the far more expensive and frankly, superficial route, as I just can't relate. I trust you and love that you mention your faith and goals for a simplified, meaningful life. None of us will look young forever, and you clearly have your priorities in order. Sending hugs from this permanent viewer in Chicagoland!
So happy to hear you are going the more affordable route. To many channels focus on luxury and high end. I have loved the direction your channel has taken this past year especially with costs rising and simplifying one’s life 💜🇨🇦😁
Thanks Diane! I needed that encouragement!
@@MindfulMidlife God bless💜
I'm happy that you aren't quitting; I was worried. I appreciate any & all content you share. Don't let the numbers get you down. You are where you are meant to be. One struggle I have is ways to increase my faith.
Happy new year!
I'm so very thankful for you being here with us !
Hi Mrs. Betty 👋! Happy new year from Alaska! ❄
So glad you are continuing on TH-cam! I love the direction you are planning on going with 🎉your channel. Excited to see your new content. God bless as you continue to serve him in all that you do. 🤗🙏
I’m 55 and definitely need to simplify a lot of aspects of my life. I have so much stuff that I need to get rid of so my environment doesn’t feel heavy. That includes beauty items. I am on a very very low buy this year. I will definitely tune in to see your progress and cheer you on in 2023.
I’m excited about the changes ahead.
So glad you are continuing. I am also School Secretary and in my 50s so not far behind your decision to stop. I just found your channel a few months ago and have been enjoying your channel. So looking forward to your new content. God Bless!
You are truly inspiring! Thanks for being as open and honest as you are :))
Thank you so much Danielle!
I’m 42 and I started what I call “death cleaning” a year ago. - same thoughts, I don’t want anyone else to do it, it I also love the calmer spaces in my home. Not only have I been simplifying, but more mindful of my purchases and even with food. I buy everything with purpose. Ironically , I found your channel through gift guides and I love the things I purchased for my daughter and myself thanks to your recommendations! I can’t wait to see the diversity of content you will share. Your a great personality shines! Keep up the awesome videos! I’m here for them all (even though I don’t wear makeup).
I love Kallie! I’m 72 and enjoy her info!! I saw the reel!! And her tears of joy!! Made me cry too! It’s OK!
I do believe our generation is doing a wee bit better than our parents in the stuff/clutter/stuff area. Maybe it is because we have so much more readily and cheaply available? and for our parents it was an effort to get things? Over the last year I have started decluttering (major decluttering) after 25-30 yrs in one home. It was hard to start to let things go but once I did it felt so good! I have donated so many sets of dishes, so much home decor, so so so many clothes. I am now working on the garage. I was hoping to get to the Christmas declutter before the holidays so it would be donated at a time that it could be of use to someone but that didn't happen. Can't wait to follow your journey.
I love it!! Excited to tag along for this new and exciting journey. May God bless you richly through it all. I know I am going to get some great encouragement and inspiration too!! 💓
I'm 60 and I have done a whole house clean and that in itself has helped me to save money because I just don't buy things that I don't need anymore. Or if I do want a new top or shoes, it's to replace something that I'm willing to get rid of. I struggle with finding a new schedule for myself since I retired back in May. My goal for 2023 is to plan some trips with my husband and to build a routine into my life so I'm not sitting so much each day.
I can totally relate Bobbie, YT can be a struggle at times. I'm glad you're not quitting and love the clip you showed, it's motivation to keep going. Sending virtual hugs your way my friend! 💖
Thanks Mel!
So glad you’re gravitating toward less expensive makeup and skin care. I’ve stopped watching so many channels because they show more and more luxury items.
I am excited about your new direction! So excited that I subscribed. I am 61 and am totally addicted to the Minimal Mom and Clutterbug. Over the last few years I have decluttered so much and am addicted to it. Bonus...it keeps you from buying new things! I'm glad you are focusing on drug store makeup more now as well. I rarely buy anything high end, as I just don't think the cost is worth it. I look forward to watching your upcoming videos.
I love your channel and I’m excited to go on this more affordable and simplified life style you are talking about. Thank you
Bobbi I’m so glad you are changing direction a little. I’ve enjoyed your birdies in the past that relate to organization. I struggle with what to do with keepsakes…either from family heirlooms or our kids. It’s so hard for me to let go of them but I too am reaching retirement age and want to simplify. Looking forward to your upcoming videos.
Looking forward to seeing the new mindful direction with your channel. Especially with any home tips for organizing. I always have that silent to do list in my head too ! 🤣😂 Happy New Year & love your channel ! ☺️💜☺️
Hi Bobbi - been watching your channel since you started. You are super likable and that’s why I watch. I am 56 and I have found that my bad habits pop up when I’m tired. So my goal is better sleep and keeping my energy levels high. Water, clean foods, exercise…. I’d love to hear more on that. Plus I run after grand babies daily - I got to keep up.
As a midlife (50) Mom (27, 25, 24, 22), I love and relate to your channel so much (especially our daughter's!). I'm glad you're staying and looking forward to what's next for you!
I’m right with you at 58 as far as the eliminating things and simplifying. I’m a reseller so that’s a challenge for me because I need stuff to sale but I’m working on it this year. You’re awesome! Let’s do all we can with what we’ve got and thank God daily for blessing us so much.
Excited for your new journey! I always enjoy your content...you yourself are a sweet blessing!
Keep it up, I love listening to your opinions, reasoning, and especially that way you amd I listen to the same TH-camrs. I love you, just as you are, and for what you will be.
I will be 57 in March. I can relate to all of this. In the last month, I’ve started going through my house and getting rid of things I have held on to and have never used. Im looking forward to following you on your journey.
Yes, yes and more yes!!! I am 57 and ALL these things go through my head.
Bobbi, I’m so excited about the change! I also would love to simplify my life. I feel so overwhelmed sometimes. Looking forward to a great new year with you!❤
Have missed you so get well (totally) soon! Looking forward to 2023 with you! My struggle would be not having enough energy at the end of the day after work to get tasks done at home and do dinner. I hate this struggle.
Oh my goodness!!!!! I am feeling the exact same way about our home!!!! Managing stuff is just not where I want to spend my time any more. So I have planned to go room by room and organize, donate, and trash all spaces! So glad you will be going though the process as well! Turned 50 in November and I am ready for more fun and less stuff. Enjoy your videos so much!
Awesome, yes at 66 we have downsized and got rid of so much. It is great!
So glad you're back; was missing you. Glad you're feeling better. And glad to hear you're not giving up so enjoy watching your videos.
Hi there! I always enjoy your videos so much in regards to whatever youbtalk about. Im 58, and concerned about the same things as you..simplifying, mindful of quality time spent, staying motivated to excercise, and eat healthy....you hit all of them on the head. I feel like we are friends and love hanging out w you in the am while getting ready for work:) Sounds like you're willing to move your cheese so to speak.
I struggle with organizing! I have slowly been decluttering our hole ever since my son moved out 2 1/2 years ago. So, I habe no problem getting rid/donating stuff we no longer use. I just struggle with getting organized, specially my kitchen pantry.
You are right on heading in same direction. Very good plan for yourself and family too.
I will watch and hopefully head that way❤❤ excited to see what you will do. My struggle is trying just start for example sort and get rid of stuff especially clothes that do not fit.
Hello Bobbie! I am so happy to hear you are continuing with your channel. I came across your channel last year and have enjoyed all of your chats. I got a new iPad recently and for some reason you were no longer in my favorites! Don’t know how that happened but you’re back now and I’m catching up on all your videos. I have been watching different channels on how to get organized in 2023 and I came across But First Coffee. As you said, she is amazing and I have learned a lot but now my head is racing on all that I need to do to get my pantry, kitchen cabinets/drawers and bathroom etc. organized! I need to step back and let my brain calm down a bit!!😅 So watching your channel today was a welcome relief and to know I’m not alone in deciding what is truly important and worth spending my time on. I look forward to all your videos! Thank you for all you bring to us! Take care. ❤
Thank you Linda! I know what you means about your head spinning! I have soooo much I want to tackle, but one thing at a time!
I’m here for it all Bobbie ❤
I love your content so I will continue to look forward to your more thoughtful content. I retired in 2022 and I need to now be more thoughtful with my purchases, especially beauty products. I am trying to find ways of using my products more efficiently and also completely using things up. I feel like you’re speaking some of my thoughts when you’re reflecting on your potential retirement plans. So, you will be stuck with me for awhile. God Bless!
Hi Bobbi! This is my first time here. I am 51 and a lot of what you said resonates with me. I am planning to work on decluttering this year as well. I still have 4 kids at home (ages 16-19) and they hamper this to some degree, but hopefully I will rub off on them.
LOVE LOVE LOVE this!!! Simplify and lighten the load!
I am SO EXCITED to hear this! I also watch The Minimal Mom and But first,Coffee. I really enjoy their channels however, I’m also in my mid 50’s so I’m so excited to see your future videos! I love your personality and enjoy the beauty content but I’m even simplifying my skincare and beauty routine. Anyway, best wishes and God Bless you!! I’m excited!
Missed you on here last month and was happy to see you posted. I've been a creator on here 10 years with slow growth and lots of expense (finances and time) and its made me rethink the future content on my own channel. I have been making changes starting with my channel name and by adding in other elements like cooking/baking, travel/shopping and lifestyle. Since my divorce, I am very budget oriented, so affordable (but quality)products is in my 2023 plan. TH-cam beauty channels have to change because the world is a different place.
Ive noticed a decline of interest in lots of beauty channels over the past 2 years. Whatever you decide to do, ill be out here cheering you on. Sounds like you have some great ideas.
Ok. I haven’t even watched 5min of your video but I have to say Kallie’s reel struck me when I watched it too!!!! And your emotions made me cry again watching it. I cannot fathom the effort, strength, drive and willpower it must take all of you TH-camrs to do this. But let me tell you…there are a few of you that I watch religiously and feel like and I have a true bond with. It freaks me out to think you Mary have thrown in the towel. I followed DebtKickingMom at one of my lowest times in life and she truly encouraged me through it. She then left TH-cam for several reasons one main one was trolls and such. It truly broke my heart. I mailed her cards a few times but have since lost touch. I think about her a lot as I consider her a true mentor in getting me where I am today. You have a similar’power’ in helping me through trying to find my way through getting healthy and embracing hitting 50 soon. I virtually hug you and say ‘you’ve got this friend’!!!! 😘
I am smiling while I write this post. I hope you do too while you read it. You mentioned you want to simplify your life but then I just watched you continue to apply so many products to your face. Perhaps it is time to simplify this routine so you can free up time to do those mindful and meaningful things.
We all have so much stuff, and it winds up owning us.
I too feel the need to declutter and simplify my environment .
I also think we should prioritize travel to places on our bucket list while we are able to do it.
This may be one of my favorite videos you've done yet! I struggle with time! And too much stuff. I say all the time I want my home to feel peaceful. That's my goal for 2023. That and weight loss. I wish you so much success on your channel and goals!
Hi Bobbie happy 2023!! I am the same age as you I feel the same way as you. I want all the junk out of my house stuff that has been sitting around for years and we don't use. Same with our budget we waste alot of money for no reason ugh so annoying. Is this what happens when we reach this age??? Lol love your channel thank you for all of your hard work.
I love your speed reviews. I am a makeup addict and it helps me so much to hear what you think of these products. You are so authentic and your opinion usually aligns with mine so keep up the good work and I love watching your videos. You are a real person and that is so refreshing!!
I love doing speed reviews! They are my favorite! I’m so glad they are helpful to you.
I love your channel and be of good courage… you are fantastic!!
I’m feeling the same way, I’m 51yrs no kids not married but want to simplify my life. My mom passed in April and she didn’t have many possessions but enough that I had to go through them and make decisions. I think about who will do this for me with no kids. It’s a part of life’s journey but doesn’t mean we stop living we are just making changes
So sorry for the loss of your mom.
Very excited for all the new changes coming up
Oh Bobbie I can so relate , my 2023 word is focus and I literally have spent the last 3 days cleaning out a major attic / closet getting things ready for goodwill and a couple resale shops . I'm focusing on managing my life to be able to enjoy it ❤ a dear close friend passed away weeks ago she was only 2 years older than me . I refuse to waste anymore time on stuff !
I’m so sorry for your loss Kim. It does put things into perspective.
