    I’m actually embarrassed about how superficial I was and didn’t realize. I literally feel more beautiful and only spend money on items I truly need. The huge thing for me is that I don’t even fight the urge to buy unnecessary things, I legit just don’t care to! My priorities are sooo different since leaving social media.

    • @EvieAswiti

      The “I don’t care” energy is so infectious when it comes to having your priorities straight! As long as you are self aware you’re good.

    I will be thirty this year and deleted 99% of social media profiles / apps. It feels like I’ve outgrown it.
    I also stopped being a major consumer. I refuse to purchase commercialized / mass produced products. I’ve been embracing African skin care and eating much healthier. Quality food, water and exercise is the OG plastic surgery.

    What I recognize is that you talk very slow and chill you don’t add music in the background like you can really feel how peaceful you become and focus on quality rather than quantity
    when I watch a random other channel they talk very hectic and quick and add music in the background so there is absolutely no moment in the video where you are not entertained you know what I mean ?
    I love that ❤

    • @EvieAswiti

    I would like to see more of this type of video from you, because your channel really inspires me to live more real, pure, privatly beautiful and quallity life, and to keep in mind that there is a big part of our lives contained from avarage, normal moments, and that we should not allow social media to make us think and feel that every little moment of ours has to be super fun, extra, and to be just in one shape of form, just to be fitted. Because it is not real. This is the reason why your channel is my associaton of a few, small, but very well chosen and good quallity, and also anti haul types of videos reminds me every time that we should be in touch with reality and down to earth. 🌺👒

    I have no social media besides UA-cam lol. I've been social media free for almost 7 years and I run into people who ask me do I have a Facebook Twitter etc.. nope and I'm never going back! Back then I spent money all the time on fast food, hair and clothes, wasting my money on things when I barely went anywhere. Now all I have a desire is save my money! I work weekends and my husband has a good job for me to stay home throughout the week and take care of the kids, other than that I'm so happy to never have a desire to go back to social media.

    Great video! ☀️ I’m doing well! Agreed with the makeup and skincare section! I don’t even use eyeshadow anymore. Eyebrow powder, concealer, powder, a few brushes and some mascara with white eyeliner and I’m ready to go! I feel like everyoneee is coming out with their own makeup/skincare/hair brand it’s over saturated nowadays. I stick to what works for me and what’s organic! I love my natural stuff! And yes! I need to stop buying extensions/wigs. It’s the number one thing I need to work on right now. I have hair, it’s beautiful and it’s fine like I don’t need to trying to make it fuller or cover it up. It’s nice to switch it up now and then but jfc not all the time 😭 Would love to see your skincare routine! You are glowingggg in this video!
