There is something so comforting about watching your videos… I think it’s the calm nature of your voice and tone ♥️
Awe thank you so much! How kind of you to say even with my awful voice today.
I agree, it’s like therapy 👍🏻😁
@@leebeaute Awe thank you!
I agree! I put her videos on when I’m cooking at home haha.
@@nigelcrow2121 Thank you!
To be fair, being unwell sucks the joy out of everything, it really does, and the same when you’re worried about other things. I came to realise that the less I shopped, the less I wanted to shop and I’ve never returned to my browsing hobby since the stores re-opened a few years ago. It will be nice to see what you do buy on holiday - hopefully it’s something that just calls to you and is very special. 😊
Yes it really does suck the joy out of everything. That is awesome you have kept it up! That is what I am really hoping, to find something special. Thank you!
Yeah that day i went into Chanel boutique to collect my CC earrings that i sent for repair and there are a lot of pinks handbags, SLGs and accessories that i have ever seen in the same store years ago and they have stocks for everything. I think many people are priced out from Chanel or those that have the money will spend that on holidays instead. Gone are the days where one has to queue during the 1st day launch of anything. I remembered my SA told me too that if i am interested in any item for those seasonal collection, i can just text her and she will try to get it for me. It is good to take a break and just use what we already have. Thanks for sharing 🤗
Totally miss the good old days of luxury shopping. Not only were they more affordable but the quality was worth the price tag😅
Yes it is so strange for Chanel! I am not sure how much their slgs are now but the bag prices are just insane to me. It really is good to take a break, I enjoyed using bags I hadn't in a long time. Thank you!
It’s been more than two years since I bought any luxury bags
That's great!
It’s amazing to see how much time one can spend on the phone when you see that screen time recap! It’s nice to take a break and not look at luxury from time to time. Makes you appreciate what you have and then when you get back to shopping it’s so fun and exciting all over again! Can’t wait to see what you got! 💚💚💚
It really is! No one should spend as much time online as I was lol. I forgot to mention in the video that I was really rotating my bags and jewelry a lot during those months too and I really do appreciate them more! Xoxo
@@LuxPurselove You’d be shocked at how much my screen time was!!! After seeing that I definitely made a more conscious effort to cut down! 🙈😂
@@kklvoescc Me too! But I gave up while I was sick.
I’m the same. If I don’t watch luxury videos or browse I just don’t want anything. Have planned to add 3 bags this year so I did a vlog sale to reduce the amount of stuff in my closet that doesn’t get used. I could definitely do another round because I really feel better when my collection is a bit smaller x
It makes a difference not consuming the content for sure. That's great about your vlog sale! Xoxo
My daughter and I went to Vegas in Feb. and we went to two concerts. I think we were the only two people in Vegas who didn’t drink one drop of alcohol or gamble. Had the best time!!😊
That's awesome!
Agree! I noticed something similar when I stopped watching makeup videos on UA-cam - the less I watch the less I buy. The less I shop the less I’m interested in watching
Exactly!!
Make sense Melinda, enjoy your vacation and I can’t wait to see what you will get!!❤
Thank you!!
Get well soon ..health is truly wealth
Yes it is. Thank you, whatever this virus is it is just lingering.
Hope you continue to feel better!
Thanks so much!
I appreciate your honesty and self awareness. Very refreshing! If a handbag makes you giddy, to me that is a sign to purchase away and enjoy! 😊
I think so too! Thank you! :)
Great review on your luxury pause and how refreshing to see screen time down.You did so well, so mindful.Hope you continue to feel better, thanks for sharing and all the best wishes 🩷🎀
Thank you so much Margaret! Have a wonderful week! Xoxo
The spreadsheets! I do the same thing when I know I'm heading to Europe. I have my wish list, so I will calculate what is worth buying over there. I have purchased something that actually was more expensive in Paris but it was available where here it would be a six to nine month waitlist. Can't wait to see what you purchase while you are there.
It really helps to know if you are saving or not. I would buy something there you couldn't get easily here too. Thank you, I am excited to see what I find!
Thats always good to take a break! Its crazy how much screen time we do.
Glad you're feeling better ❤❤
It really is crazy! And it can even be that we are trying to learn something beneficial but it adds up. Thanks Mari, so glad you are feeling better too! Xoxo
I can relate to waking up in the night and the need to answer a question my mind has decided I need to know. I can't get back to sleep until I know the answer. lol
I hear ya! I have put a ban on touching my phone in the middle of the night unless I need to use the flashlight but all bets were off sick. Otherwise I will keep finding more questions I need an answer to lol.
Hi Melinda! I’m glad you’re feeling better. My screen time is also down these days. I’m still watching my favourite vloggers on UA-cam but I’m rarely on Facebook anymore, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. When you go to Paris, if you happen to go into Joseph Duclos, I really hope you vlog from there. A handbag from Joseph Duclos is the only thing on my wish list this year!
Thank you Ruth! That is great your screen time is down as well. I am not sure if I will make it there but if I do I will vlog! :)
Appreciate your honesty and transparency ❤😊
Thanks love! Xoxo
@@LuxPurselove your welcome
I’m glad you’re feeling better !! I also think different when I’m not feeling well. At this point, I feel I have enough fine jewelry. I look forward to your handbag sales.
Thank you! It's so true we really do think differently when we aren't feeling good.
@@LuxPurselove we save money when we aren’t feeling well…..😀
@@nancyandjoel4134 Yes we do!😅
Get well❤ God bless!
Thank you! God bless you as well!
We are outdoor people, around Las Vegas is a lots of places to enjoy hiking trails and of course one day of shopping 🛍 Thank you for sharing.
My daughter would love that! I have an instagram friend who posts pics of her hikes there and it's beautiful. I am more of an indoor treadmill and fan blowing on me kinda girl lol.
Hope you continue to feel better, Melinda. It’s annoying to be unwell for an extended period of time.
I’m also not buying any new handbags for now because I’m going to Europe (again) later this year (yay!), but there may be a couple of exceptions - a possible made-to-order opportunity, and a store credit with Cettire that I have to consume before it expires. Also, I’m on a lookout for a couple preloved pieces so if something pops up that I really like I will go for them. Otherwise, you really save a lot to buy in Paris or anywhere in EU.
Thank you Corrine, it is just lingering and you are so right it is annoying.
Yay! That will be so fun! Also fun to design your own bag, I have debated doing one at Fendi forever. You really save so much more in EU.
I noticed the same thing with my phone, the usage plummeted, I was busy doing other things though - exercising, site seeing & dumping my brain from all the issues of the world. Ohhhh and fasting.... couldn't escape from the delicious cooking videos even.😵💫 When I'm feeling icky, I always save money. Omgoodness yes, try everything on your list, if you can, before purchasing overseas. Keep up the great work, 3 months is a long time. 💛
That is great! I try and avoid the news as much as possible it is not good for my mental health. I am not sure I could do the fasting, good for you! Thank you! I hope to be more mindful going forward. I decided NO to the new LV toiletry pouches so that's a start! :)
I am glad you are feeling better. I’m on a luxury shopping pause for until October. I want to buy myself something very special for my birthday so I have to be good until then.
Thank you! How fun to plan for your birthday and treat yourself!
Love your necklace - isn’t that the one inspired by Samantha from Bewitched? Loved those shows!
Yes, that is the one hubby had made for me! I loved that show too!
Yes I find shopping addictive too..I have cut down on my shopping this year. Every time I feel tempted to buy a bag, I may even checkout a bag into the cart. Before paying I then ask myself is this just a momentary thrill? Usually the answer is Yes and I don’t check out the bag 😅..it’s worked well so far. So far this year I have just bought the micro Lottie. I have been spending a lot on travel though.
That is a good idea! Travel is always better than bags. :)
Hi Melinda, will you be filming any Paris contact while you are overseas??
Yes I am! :)
Amazing! I wish I could get my screen time down. Every week my screen time seems to increase ☹️. And it’s not always luxury just scrolling and watching UA-cam lol.
It's hard to get it down! I was truly surprised how much time I was spending online.
Do you not like doing shows or nice restaurants while in Vegas? I agree though, I’m not a gambler and Vegas is only fun for me once every few yrs. Planning on going this fall, but for a conference and to meet up with friends!!
Are you planning to do thr H lottery when you’re in Paris?
Yes, we got to see one of our favorite comedians. And we went to new restaurants and saw the new Fountainebleau casino and went to dinner with some friends and lunch with others.
I plan to try for the lottery, I do not have high hopes.
@@LuxPurselove nice! Good luck with the lottery in Paris and look forward to a video about it! I plan on going for my birthday next April, so will take any tips I can get! 😭
Why do you think the stores are empty? I just experienced the same thing. Do you think luxury brands are pricing themselves out? Thoughts?
You should read through the comments here. I really don't know.
the most ive lasted was 7 months, I could not pass up the xxl travel flap chanel brought out in Dec 2023. last purchase was Jan 2024 so I'm at 3/4 months now. let's see how far I can push it and have to push it/be responsible.
7 months is a long time! I think you can do it, I am rooting for you! Xoxo
@@LuxPurselove thank you. let;s see how bday month/June goes.
@@lolipena8051 I know that is hard! June is my month too.
Please Melinda be verry verry careful in Paris dont bring your jewelry or watches Longchamp le pliage as purses that is it. There are so many pickpockets and mean people. Take care
Oh my is it that bad? Our last trip to Paris was 12 yrs ago & it felt pretty ok.
@nanoucg5209 Thanks, yes I will be careful.
@@leebeaute Our last trip was 6 years ago, and it was ok but we do not take any public transit there or in London. Cabs and Uber only. The Eiffel Tower area was very sketchy.
Yes it is bad plus we have a high risk of terrorist alerte since the war in Palestine plus the Olympics are coming witch is a potencial target. No public transport even with Uber be careful of the number on the app match the car. Around train stations do not follow anybody.
@@LuxPurselove it’s definitely changed a lot. Surprised to hear London too. I lived in the UK from 2017-2020, public transport was the norm without any incidents. We always dressed up pretty when in London. Disappointed to hear these beautiful cities & now stained with crimes.
