Girl, I adore your videos, have been subbed to you for years. I love your decluttering videos and deep cleaning...as much as I love your quilting and learning to sew series. I even love the videos where you visit France and mom. So, it should go without saying, I'm one of your subs that love love love it when you talk to us. It's personal, like friends discussing their day, their lives and their world and sharing no-nonsense wisdom. I love ya, girl. Keep going, you're doing wonderfully!
You have come a long way. It's not a matter of wasting money. It needed to be a part of your life at that time and served its purpose. Thank it and move on. Big hugs xxx
Hello Sophia, I had to pause the video to give you a piece of my mind, because when I was turning 50 I thought just like you. Well dear I was wrong and so are you! Please lose that mentality that you are old. I am 69 years old and I have friends who range from 50-86 and they don’t consider or act old. One of my friend at 72 got braces on her teeth, another at 66 started a self awareness class, my 86 year old friend goes swimming, takes art classes and in the summer loves to go to the beach, another 74 at 70 met a nice partner and they travel the world. I also had a very dear friend Margaret who was much older the me and I was always admiring the way she approach life with such gusto. Margaret always looked and smelled pretty and even at 86 she never considered herself to be old. Margaret was killed crossing the street on her way back from the florist. Margaret was buying flowers for the church. She did not died from illness even though she had her share of illness. Margaret is gone but, left beautiful legacy and one of the many things she taught me was never, never have a complex about my age. As for my self I learn to drive and brought a car at 66. I hope you take my advice and don’t waste these precious years thinking you are old because you are not.
Real woman..real cleaning...real talk..real home. Real life. I love the conversation and I have been a subscriber for a long time. Why? Real..inspiring...beautiful person!
A lot of us got sucked into UA-cam makeup influencers lifestyle and started hoarding with goals of filling IKEA Alexa dressers. Like you I’ve evolved and grown out of that stage.
Great job Sophia! I remember way back when you had tons of make up!!! You have come so far. I'm always replaying your declutter playlist. I like how you talk to us when you are filming instead of music.
I think you did a good job and you said it, different place now and your make up routine reflects that. I retired this year and did the same thing except I kept my large lighted mirror since my eyes don't see as well as they used to. I find that I don't need to spend time getting gussied up (as my hubby calls it) and would rather spend my time doing all the things I didn't do while working full time. Proud of you!
I've watched you for years and you should be so proud of the progress you've made!! The last time you did your makeup I thought, "She's making "It can go" decisions so much faster...except for those pallets!" LOL And look at you go now! So now I just have to wait patiently for the makeup brush revelations! hehehe Love that you're able to donate and help others feel better too!
Yes we do go through different phases. We have to adjust our routines during these changes, the things we keep and don’t keep and general life. Sticking to one way, same routine, same items all our life, we’ll it’s not realistic. Change is good, we can’t do the same thing all our life, we become complacent. Change & refresh!! Kudos Sophia! 💜👍🌸 I think it’s called evolving 🥴🥴😬😬 I’m constantly changing things up! I like it!
Girl, you don't need to justify to us what you're keeping ! There's no makeup police that says you must pare down to one blush! Or that everything needs to be hidden. I love what you've done and am always amazed at how everything does come together . I agree that keeping things out will motivate you to use what you have and there isn't an overwhelming amount so it's pleasant to look at.
FEEL NO GUILT You followed your heart to when you bought it.... you followed your heart when you let it go!!! This is life we take the journey each day and learn about ourselves through things and purchases sometimes. You did a Great job and it was so satisfying to see your little unit slide in that space soooooo perfectly 🤗🤗 I like how you left the products out on top because you know yourself and they would be forgotten otherwise. It’s important to create spaces that work for you. I hope you enjoy your new space 💕
Oh Sophia what a journey!!! I have been watching you for years and still remember the amount of make up you had....it is amazing. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
Great job Sophia. I have 1 foundation, 1 mascara, 1 powder cover up, and 1 lip gloss. I have more nail polish than make up. I need to go through it. Oops went and checked. Got 2 lip gloss. Take care.
Yes, we reach different stages in our lives about make up. I'm down to 3 lipsticks, face makeup, powder, blush and eyebrow powder and I love it!! I even kinda make my own loose face powder by buying a shade or so darker and adding corn starch until I get the color I want.
Sophia please don’t be sad about the makeup. You loved it while you had it and that’s what matters. It’s like clothes that stop fitting or that go out of style. It’s never wasting money. Seasons of life change and so do the things you need or want. 🙂🌸
I haven't worn make up in years but had it in my side table ..just in case. I finally just bagged it up and threw it out. It was not easy ..I cringed and hesitated for so long. Now I have moisturizer,one mascara, and a couple light colored lipsticks. I love it. You will feel so much lighter once you let go of stuff you really do not use. Feel good about it. Awesome sort. Thanks for sharing.
Great job Sophia! I am inspired to declutter my makeup, because like you, I want simplicity. 😊 I have kept things thinking I will use it and I have my favorites that I reach for instead, so clutter grows. Really like the cart & how it fits beside the vanity. You are doing a fantastic job, keep up the great work, please continue to chit chat with us. Pay no attention to the naysayers please. You are a FANTASTIC Lady! Be blessed. 😊💕
The phases of our life really do bring about change. Putting all that extra makeup in quarantine and realizing you didn’t reach for it made the process go so fast. 15 pallets gone and keeping only 12 lipsticks! I like the little rolling drawer cart. Perfect for that space and out of the way.
Great job Sophia! I love it, when you chat, because you have always something important to say. Sometimes I have to see your videos more than once and I always find something new! You are very beautiful, but sometimes you forget it. And dont forget the new trend in make up in Europe, less is more. The best make up is the invisible make up.
I thought you did a great job. Well done, I could see the emotions on your face. I'm facing the same thing myself with crafting items, rationally I know they must go, but it tugs at my heart strings.
After starting to watch so many make up channels on youtube I started running out to buy everything they recommended. Dud! I have been getting rid of what didn't work or I didn't like - a lot of $$$ in the trash. Won't make that mistake again. Went down to basics and it works!!! Keep up the good work!
Hi Sophia, you did a wonderful job, better than me. The 2 I am avoiding is makeup and jewelry. I’m proud of you letting go. “Out of sight, out of mind”! It’s so true. Actually now you see what you have and you will use it up. Save $$$. Don’t beat your self up. Don’t you watch some of these other video’s where these young woman are sooo spoiled!!! It blows my mind. Everything I purchase is such a treat to me. I’m financially limited and therefore better off in some ways. I always travel the Middle of the Road in life. Someone out there has it a lot worse off than me. Counting your blessings. P. S. I love when you talk. Your so genuine and I’ve learned a lot about life from you. I’m 74 yrs young and I put on my make up every day . Light. It helps me to get thru ea day of this depression. You do the same. Your beautiful❤️
Blown away by the progress you're making, Sophiia!!! I remember when you had your white vanity stuffed with drawers of makeup. You have really come such a long way! Great work! Bravo! ! 💕, Kate
No biggie Sophia, I don’t think it’s wasted money. You bought it you enjoyed it for awhile, you are done with it. People go out to dinner and spend $50 or more and enjoy it, you savored it and it’s done. We don’t try to save it because we spent so much money on it! Lol 💜👍🌸 Apparently I have a lot to say today 😬😬😬
From the beginning of watching you and your makeup to now is really refreshing. It used to feel like hoarding to me. The shadow you have now will last for years if you never get anymore. Those subscription makeup delivery things might have been fun to get and experiment with but you ended up with a lot you never wanted. Really great job keeping what you will use and easy to get ready in the morning. No shame in changing our likes and dislikes. The money was already spent so I let it go without guilt.
Hi, Sophia. Loved this video. At age 68, I don’t wear as much makeup as I used to but still enjoy looking at it. I’m a visual person, too, and think you did a great 👍 job decluttering. I’m proud of you, Sophia!
Great job dear Sophia. You have gotten rid of a ton of makeup over the years. Different things work for us over the years. We all have makeup that has not worked and we just have to get rid of it and move on. My daughter in law loves makeup and I think she said MAC lets you choose the colors for an eyeshadow palette. Saves a lot of space because a lot of palettes have colors we love and colors we never use. Four blushes are reasonable. You do not need to only have one blush. All your makeup fits nicely in your new organizer. Your Louis XV white chair sounds perfect for your bathroom. I also got the idea when you mentioned about the two white pieces you found to put a top on and use as a vanity with your lovely chair. Perfect for sitting and doing skincare and putting on makeup. Love when you talk to us. Can’t wait to see the new video of your bathroom makeover. Keep rocking Sophia!
You did such a great job. But most importantly, you are recognizing that our wants and needs change over time. I loved this video. Be open to the future and let go of the past. That is what will keep us young! Keep up the good work- it’s inspiring!
Some thing I was told in my decluttering journey was *It is ok to change your mind*. It once brought me delight but now.... it is ok to change your mind. Love your DOC series!
I've been binge watching your videos. This one really struck me due to my makeup addiction as well & my success at decluttering it. New phase of life & no apologies. You have been a wonderful motivator to me. Thank you!
I believe we are all guilty of buying loads of stuff and that as we get older we realise we don’t really need or want them. You did a great job, keep up the good work. Donna U.K.
Well done Sophia, I think we all get to that point in our lives and realise we don’t need all the extra stuff we had when we were younger. Proud of you lovely lady x
Congratulations on your makeup decluttering. I was watching when you built the big vanity and couldn't believe all the stuff you had. Now you're down to one container. It's amazing. My only negative is the four drawer cart. Do you really need it? You're getting rid of the bureau but replacing it with two tables with flat tops, drawers and a shelf. What will go in those drawers? Rethink the cart and return it.
VERY PROUD OF YOU! You can feel free to ALSO feel proud!... the Opposite of Shame! There is no shame in simplifying your life & also giving to & improving the lives of the women in the shelter at the same time! Nothing but proud! 🎉
We all go through seasons of life. And as we get older we figure out what's Really important in life. You have come a long ways. I can't believe you've done. So much in the last year or two I think that's great. You made a lot of progress. You have motivated me to do the same love your videos
You did a wonderful job! We all have things we liked at some point and feel guilty about getting rid of them when we no longer need/want them... We change and life certainly changes... You proved today we need to put the past in the past and continue to move forward... No guilt here! YOU ARE AWESOME! Thanks for sharing!
Sophia, I turned 50 last year and I too have found that simplicity in life is calling. We are different in that I have been a Grandmother for 10 years now; but regardless of that, comfort is more important now. As long as I do not embarrass my 14 year old son, I’m good. Well done with paring down your makeup. I remember when the two most difficult declutters for you were makeup and books, now look at you!🥰
I love when you chat with us and touched me when you said "it's a hot mess and it's not working" as I have been saying the same thing in many areas of my home. At 70 (and with chronic illnesses) my needs have changed also, like you. I so enjoy listening to you as you make so much sense and sound just like I "think". Put Scott's chest in the attic!! LOL. You need to change things until you find the way they work the best and sometimes that can take many changes! Also I get bored after a long time of looking at the same things, the same way. Love your new bathroom look. TFS and take care............PS Did my DOS of three kitchen cabinets today!!!!!
I really enjoy your channel & recently subscribed. Your chats are like visiting w/ a good friend, & hearing your thought process is very helpful. You are a lovely lady, so please don't despair about aging - the alternative isn't good, for sure! 😉 I recently saw a wall hanging (no author cited) which I find inspiring: "Blessed is the life that finds joy in the journey". Thanks for all you do & for sharing with us.
I went overboard buying makeup a few years ago after my mom passed. Now I need to go through what's left. I have such a fettish for lipsticks and at that time went crazy on eyeshadow. Looks great! Thanks for your motivating series.
Oh wow... You really have pared down from the first time I saw you declutter all your beauty products. Gives me inspiration to let go of products that are hanging around and taking up space I could use for other items I use. 👍😊❤️ 💄💋☕️🎯
Good job Sophia you should be very proud of yourself.I’m glad you kept a little variety because you would not be happy wearing the same blush,lipstick, makeup or cologne every day. I have always loved makeup and hair products. No way am I going out without makeup on and my hair fixed.Love this series of videos.
28 mins. “ I used to have a piece of furniture for my make-up, now I’m down to this.” Sophia! What a profound statement! We should apply this statement to so many areas of our lives, homes, spaces. What piece of furniture can we get rid of and eliminate duplicates or clutter and stress! I loved that moment. Congratulations! Great job.
I have been going through rooms with you and have gotten quite a bit done but still will need to do it again! It is life! I run out of time to finish before crisis mode hits due to events coming up in our lives! It is getting much better on our main floor so I am very happy about that! Feeling good today about it but have more to get done today!
I'm also turning 50 this year. Like you, I was obsessed with makeup, hair products and clothes when I was a teenager and in my 20s. In my 30s and 40s I wore makeup less and less and now I hardly wear anything at all on my face. I will use my Bare Minerals makeup for special occasions. Thanks for making this video. Looking forward to part two.
No judgment...love your videos...I used to buy myself alot of makeup when I was younger and employed. Now I'm 57, with fibromyalgia and only use smashbox photo finish primer and lipstick. I do have other makeup but those 2 are my go to...
I also decluttered my makeup. Some of it was 15 years old. I felt so much better afterwards. Your videos inspire and motivate many of us viewers. Thanks for all your videos! xxx
Great job Sophia, I cleaned out my makeup and nail polish stuff last month. I love nail polish but I was over whelmed with it so I knew most of it had to gooooooooooooooooo ! I donated it to a local Nursing Home they have an activity once a week called " Pretty Ladies" they paint some of the patients nails and put makeup on them. As I'm getting older too, I'm not as into makeup as I use to be either I have my basics and some favorites and that's it. You have been very inspiring to me and you keep it real :D
I decluttered my makeup in the new year. I divide my makeup into 4 weeks. Every Saturday I take out my new makeup and put the past weeks makeup away. I tend to get bored if I don't switch it up. I am 57 and still enjoy make up.
I have enjoyed this series! You are by far my favorite UA-camr. You are incredibly real and one of the only ones that I feel I can relate to on a personal level. So, bravo Sophia! Way to go for pushing through your tiredness from your busy work week and making your cozy, wonderful home that much more functional for you. Take care!
I’m so at the age where I don’t really want “stuff”. If I buy anything I want to buy quality but less items especially when it comes to clothes. I want to simplify my space and my life. I will keep the things that I absolutely love and of course necessities but everything else can go. I think it could be an age thing and honestly I’m just content and that’s a good thing. I’m definitely on board with the motto “Less is more”. I use to watch beauty gurus on UA-cam and thought I needed all these products. I’m a stay at home wife and mom and don’t go far so I really don’t have the need for so much. I need one foundation, one blush, one mascara, eyeliner and maybe two or three lipsticks but that’s it. I’m definitely on a journey to minimalism and I’m loving it.😊❤️
You did great. Don't feel guilty, you are giving to a good cause. Our priorities change so much over our lifetime and you only have to watch one of your early videos to see how far you have come! ❤
Loved this video, and yes Sophia, you have come a LOOOONG way! BUT, I have to ask everyone-does anyone else feel like they could watch and listen to Sophia move around the makeup containers in that acrylic holder forever!? So relaxing...
Sophia I am listening to you again. It is like I need to hear your sweet voice. You my dear are a very nice person and you do what is right most of the time. You did the right thing for your family with the siding for the house. That was what was needed. It is ok to make things easier for your self. The ladies will enjoy the makeup. You need not explain for making yourself comfortable . Life is good with you my friend.
Girl, I adore your videos, have been subbed to you for years. I love your decluttering videos and deep cleaning...as much as I love your quilting and learning to sew series.

It's not a matter of wasting money. It needed to be a part of your life at that time and served its purpose.
Thank it and move on.

I'm 46 and needed to hear that! Thank you...
This was such a wonderful, inspiring comment! Just what I needed to hear right now. Thank you so much! Your friends sound incredible.
Do NOT be ashamed of changing and getting rid of what is no longer useful.
You’re doing awesome
Real woman..real cleaning...real talk..real home. Real life. I love the conversation and I have been a subscriber for a long time. Why? Real..inspiring...beautiful person!
A lot of us got sucked into UA-cam makeup influencers lifestyle and started hoarding with goals of filling IKEA Alexa dressers. Like you I’ve evolved and grown out of that stage.
For everything there is a season. You are smart to know when your needs have changed and brave to make the adjustments. Well done. Anne😄

I love your perspective. Less is best as I get older and simplicity is key.
I love that you're so real. Love watching your videos.
Great job Sophia, you inspire us to decluttering all the time,🇬🇧🙋
FEEL NO GUILT You followed your heart to when you bought it.... you followed your heart when you let it go!!! This is life we take the journey each day and learn about ourselves through things and purchases sometimes. You did a

Oh Sophia what a journey!!! I have been watching you for years and still remember the amount of make up you had....it is amazing. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
You said it all when you said that when you change, your needs change, and you're in a different place in your life. Great job!

Why I love Sophia: the only you-tuber who has an existential crisis when decluttering makeup
From the beginning of watching you and your makeup to now is really refreshing. It used to feel like hoarding to me. The shadow you have now will last for years if you never get anymore.

Bravo! I didn't know you had it in you to discard all those makeup products. I'm so happy to know some of them are going to a women's shelter.
Makeup, books, dinner out, movies etc. You spent money, got some enjoyment. Money well spent! Relax. I am proud of you👍👍👍😻
Great job, Sophia! I love to listen to you and hear your thought processes. You inspire me! 😍

Some thing I was told in my decluttering journey was *It is ok to change your mind*. It once brought me delight but now.... it is ok to change your mind. Love your DOC series!
I am so proud of you! The women at the shelter will be delighted with the makeup, so don’t think it is wasted. Xx
Ahh...I planned on doing this section of my home tomorrow!!...perfect inspiration Sophia! ❤️
I've been binge watching your videos. This one really struck me due to my makeup addiction as well & my success at decluttering it. New phase of life & no apologies. You have been a wonderful motivator to me. Thank you!
We always are changing in life, so we need to accommodate those changes😃 You are doing a great job, lady!

Well done Sophia, I think we all get to that point in our lives and realise we don’t need all the extra stuff we had when we were younger. Proud of you lovely lady x
You did a great job. Such progress.
Congratulations on your makeup decluttering. I was watching when you built the big vanity and couldn't believe all the stuff you had. Now you're down to one container. It's amazing. My only negative is the four drawer cart. Do you really need it? You're getting rid of the bureau but replacing it with two tables with flat tops, drawers and a shelf. What will go in those drawers? Rethink the cart and return it.
Agree!
VERY PROUD OF YOU! You can feel free to ALSO feel proud!... the Opposite of Shame! There is no shame in simplifying your life & also giving to & improving the lives of the women in the shelter at the same time! Nothing but proud! 🎉
Sophia I'm so proud of You for getting rid of things, and I love that little corner cabinet. You have done such a great job of organizing your makeup.
We all go through seasons of life. And as we get older we figure out what's Really important in life. You have come a long ways. I can't believe you've done. So much in the last year or two I think that's great. You made a lot of progress. You have motivated me to do the same love your videos
You did a wonderful job! We all have things we liked at some point and feel guilty about getting rid of them when we no longer need/want them...
We change and life certainly changes... You proved today we need to put the past in the past and continue to move forward... No guilt here!
YOU ARE AWESOME! Thanks for sharing!
Well done Sophia🌟
Proud of you
You are a natural beauty, Sophia! Fabulous work !
People change, don't be ashamed of understanding that who you are now is different from who you were before and moving on from that. Great job!
So excited for another episode!
I had an old dresser like that. I use it in my garage for storage.
Great job Sophia. You do whats best for you.
Wow just wow you did so great! I have just adorable watching you over the years.
I feel everything you are saying. I'm so happy for you! Growing and Wise. I enjoy your company so much.
Sophia, I turned 50 last year and I too have found that simplicity in life is calling. We are different in that I have been a Grandmother for 10 years now; but regardless of that, comfort is more important now. As long as I do not embarrass my 14 year old son, I’m good.
Well done with paring down your makeup. I remember when the two most difficult declutters for you were makeup and books, now look at you!🥰
I think you are doing Great Sophia! Keep it up! 'Less is More' for sure! Proud of you!!
You did an amazing job! I will be turning 50 this year, too. Priorities definitely change. ❤
You did a great job and the ladies you’re giving your excess to will be so appreciative, vanity looks great! I’m inspired! X
I love when you chat with us and touched me when you said "it's a hot mess and it's not working" as I have been saying the same thing in many areas of my home. At 70 (and with chronic illnesses) my needs have changed also, like you. I so enjoy listening to you as you make so much sense and sound just like I "think". Put Scott's chest in the attic!! LOL. You need to change things until you find the way they work the best and sometimes that can take many changes! Also I get bored after a long time of looking at the same things, the same way. Love your new bathroom look. TFS and take care............PS Did my DOS of three kitchen cabinets today!!!!!
Loving this series Sophia!!
I really enjoy your channel & recently subscribed. Your chats are like visiting w/ a good friend, & hearing your thought process is very helpful. You are a lovely lady, so please don't despair about aging - the alternative isn't good, for sure! 😉 I recently saw a wall hanging (no author cited) which I find inspiring: "Blessed is the life that finds joy in the journey". Thanks for all you do & for sharing with us.
I went overboard buying makeup a few years ago after my mom passed. Now I need to go through what's left. I have such a fettish for lipsticks and at that time went crazy on eyeshadow. Looks great! Thanks for your motivating series.
Oh wow...
You really have pared down from the first time I saw you declutter all your beauty products. Gives me inspiration to let go of products that are hanging around and taking up space I could use for other items I use.
👍😊❤️ 💄💋☕️🎯
Good job Sophia you should be very proud of yourself.I’m glad you kept a little variety because you would not be happy wearing the same blush,lipstick, makeup or cologne every day. I have always loved makeup and hair products. No way am I going out without makeup on and my hair fixed.Love this series of videos.
28 mins. “ I used to have a piece of furniture for my make-up, now I’m down to this.” Sophia! What a profound statement! We should apply this statement to so many areas of our lives, homes, spaces. What piece of furniture can we get rid of and eliminate duplicates or clutter and stress! I loved that moment. Congratulations! Great job.
I have been going through rooms with you and have gotten quite a bit done but still will need to do it again! It is life! I run out of time to finish before crisis mode hits due to events coming up in our lives! It is getting much better on our main floor so I am very happy about that! Feeling good today about it but have more to get done today!
I am so impressed!!! You have come so far!! You used to have a drawer just for palettes! 1000 👍🏻
I'm also turning 50 this year. Like you, I was obsessed with makeup, hair products and clothes when I was a teenager and in my 20s. In my 30s and 40s I wore makeup less and less and now I hardly wear anything at all on my face. I will use my Bare Minerals makeup for special occasions. Thanks for making this video. Looking forward to part two.
I must be grandma status like forever. I'm 40 in april. I've never been into makeup or fashion. My clothes I wear until they literally fall apart.
No judgment...love your videos...I used to buy myself alot of makeup when I was younger and employed. Now I'm 57, with fibromyalgia and only use smashbox photo finish primer and lipstick. I do have other makeup but those 2 are my go to...
I also decluttered my makeup. Some of it was 15 years old. I felt so much better afterwards. Your videos inspire and motivate many of us viewers. Thanks for all your videos! xxx
I love that you bought a product and kept only what fits in it...brilliant! ☺️
Not depressing at all! Love it when you share with us!
Great job Sophia, I cleaned out my makeup and nail polish stuff last month. I love nail polish but I was over whelmed with it so I knew most of it had to gooooooooooooooooo ! I donated it to a local Nursing Home they have an activity once a week called " Pretty Ladies" they paint some of the patients nails and put makeup on them. As I'm getting older too, I'm not as into makeup as I use to be either I have my basics and some favorites and that's it. You have been very inspiring to me and you keep it real :D
You did a great job.
Sofia you are amazing! Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings. Keep going you are so inspiring. Hugs from the UK
I decluttered my makeup in the new year. I divide my makeup into 4 weeks. Every Saturday I take out my new makeup and put the past weeks makeup away. I tend to get bored if I don't switch it up. I am 57 and still enjoy make up.
Don’t be ashamed Sophia. You are on a journey called life!
I have enjoyed this series! You are by far my favorite UA-camr. You are incredibly real and one of the only ones that I feel I can relate to on a personal level. So, bravo Sophia! Way to go for pushing through your tiredness from your busy work week and making your cozy, wonderful home that much more functional for you. Take care!
Great job Sophia, thank you for inspiring those of us that are in the same season of our lives as you ❤️
Love your videos 💕💕 love your chats 💕💕
I’m so at the age where I don’t really want “stuff”. If I buy anything I want to buy quality but less items especially when it comes to clothes. I want to simplify my space and my life. I will keep the things that I absolutely love and of course necessities but everything else can go. I think it could be an age thing and honestly I’m just content and that’s a good thing. I’m definitely on board with the motto “Less is more”. I use to watch beauty gurus on UA-cam and thought I needed all these products. I’m a stay at home wife and mom and don’t go far so I really don’t have the need for so much. I need one foundation, one blush, one mascara, eyeliner and maybe two or three lipsticks but that’s it. I’m definitely on a journey to minimalism and I’m loving it.😊❤️
You did great. Don't feel guilty, you are giving to a good cause. Our priorities change so much over our lifetime and you only have to watch one of your early videos to see how far you have come! ❤
I'm always excited when I see that you have posted a video! Wow - you did a great job on the makeup!
Loved this video, and yes Sophia, you have come a LOOOONG way! BUT, I have to ask everyone-does anyone else feel like they could watch and listen to Sophia move around the makeup containers in that acrylic holder forever!? So relaxing...
Life ... New Chapter . Welcome it ..
You go girl! It’s your business what you spend your money on! X
Sophia I am listening to you again. It is like I need to hear your sweet voice. You my dear are a very nice person and you do what is right most of the time. You did the right thing for your family with the siding for the house. That was what was needed. It is ok to make things easier for your self. The ladies will enjoy the makeup. You need not explain for making yourself comfortable . Life is good with you my friend.
