Hannah, I wanted to thank you for the impact you have had on my life. I started watching you because of your no-buy and budgeting stuff. But I had no interest in make up and skincare. I would spend too much money on homeware (particularly plants) and art/craft materials and sometimes clothes. My spending is sooo much better now. I have also learnt a lot about skincare. You said in a video that you don’t really use physical exfoliants much anymore and I had no idea what a physical exfoliant was. So I did some googling. I discovered salicylic acid is a thing. I also discovered how much I didn’t know about skincare. I’ve replaced all my skincare products with better quality products (though not more expensive). And I’ve added exfoliator (salicylic acid) and a serum into my routine. I also have a facial oil for when I have really dry skin. My face eczema is the best it’s been for years and the blackheads on my nose and spots on my forehead are starting to disappear for the first time since puberty! I’ve been careful to buy the cheapest but best products I could when getting new skincare stuff and only have one item in each category. I’m still not very into make up, but that’s always been because a lot of makeup I tried irritated my skin. Now that I know more about skincare and ingredients, I might be able to find makeup that doesn’t make me itch, and might finally be able to experiment with makeup (I couldn’t do that as a teenager though I wanted to because my skin would get too itchy). But you have changed my spending and changed my skin. And I wanted to thank you. You’ve had such an impact on me and we’ve never even spoken. Thank you Nikki
Dear Nikki, thank you so much for this comment! I'm really happy to hear that your spending and your skin have improved :) As a former acne sufferer I really believe in the power of a smart skincare routine. Having it within your own power to clear up your skin can have a surprisingly big impact. Sending a hug to you! xoxo
I've had some skin issues that prevented me from using make up when I was younger. I've found that a couple of layers of skincare stuff like a moisterizer, oil, and primer creates a barrier and keeps the itch down.
You look like an urban princess here - your hair is stunning, your lip color is gorgeous, your brows and eyes are beautiful and i love your nails and shirt too! I love the theme of having fewer but nicer things :) rock on!
Your feelings and reasonings behind the purchases are the reason I enjoy your videos so much, not because of the purchases themselves. So I love that these videos aren't quick and dirty, we would miss the best part!
Love you channel and all the introspection you're sharing. Have you considered broadening the content to more than "beauty budget" themes? I'd love to see, at least sporadically, some videoas about other aspects od you (maybe about your eating habits/decisions, vlog from a tango event, apartment tour, your wardrobe, Poema studio.. etc).
Hi, Hannah. Today I had a pretty rough day and cried for over two hours because it seems like all my plans for my future have fallen apart, but watching your video makes me feel better for the moment. I have been through much worse, so I will make it through this, too.
it's hard to plan for the future! I'm sure you are destined for things you aren't able to imagine or plan for yet :) My plans have fallen through a thousand times, it will work out!
Our minds are such odd things. I totally get that buying made you want to buy more. Last fall I realized that I had finally successfully filled the holes in my wardrobe (I won't go into why but it has been around a 4 year process). So I decided to do a no-buy for clothing through Halloween of 2019. Seems silly since I don't need anything but I feel like I've developed the habit of looking for and buying clothes and I needed to make a clean break so my brain really knows that it is time to stop considering clothing purchases. It's like being at the store and thinking, "Don't I need toilet paper?"; buying the toilet paper; getting home to find you had already bought some! My brain remembers the need more easily than it remembers that the need has been satisfied.
Joe and Sadie flitting in and out in the back was so funny 😂😂 Additionally, your hair and the earrings are a 1960s dream! Lastly, I loved what you said about returns! I had a terrible habit (before going on my no buy) of using returns as a way to allow myself to impulsively buy things I really didn't need. I'm glad the no buy changed your attitude towards things, and that you made the decision to return that crushed liquid lip - that situation is truly the one returns are made for! 💛💛
I think it’s okay to purchase impulsively every once in awhile. I really do. You’ve learned so much from your no-Buy and your beauty budget, that even your impulses are more likely better informed and better thought out than they were before. I’ve realized this on my low-buy. My impulse buying is way, way down, but I was in Marshall’s the other day and saw a beautiful eyeshadow palette marked down to $10. The old me would have bought that and several other items, no question. This time, I thought about why I wanted it (just a marked down high end brand, or is it because the selection of colors is perfect and I know I like the formula?). I also realized that I didn’t want to completely lose the ability to be impulsive, sort of like you talked about with your second piercing. That’s why the budget it there. I don’t want to be afraid of shopping. I just need to remember that the whole point of my low-buy is to be a smarter consumer, and then trust myself that even my few impulsive purchases are more informed than I give myself credit for.
I second this. I've been considering trying some lip products and Colourpop has been high on my list to try because they're affordable and most people love them. I somewhat impulsively bought them but I was reasonable about the indulgence. I weeded 9+ colors down to 3, 1 of each formula that I saw and I took screen shots of the color on the models lips and compared them to see what I thought I would actually like. It was a bit impulsive, but I think I feel like it was worse than it actually was because at one point I had a cart full of 9 + lip products, 2 pigments, 2 eyeliners and I was even considering buying a palette (though I know that I own all of their palettes that I am truly interested in.) In the end I only bought the 2 pigments I wanted - they were the reason for the entire purchase, 3 lipsticks and 2 lip liners.
A while back you had bought a part of shoes from ebay and had made a comment on the money going to another individual was positive in about every way. I love thrifting. Almost exclusively, my small closet has been composed from thredup, goodwills, local stores, and more specific items from ebay. Even my jewlery is made by local artists or mostly vintage used pieces from ebay. I adore them, so unique and have lasted so long with so much life left. Not fast fashion jewlery falling apart after a few months. Most items I've had or intend to have for years but the few items that no longer serve me are in good enough condition to re-donate. I can get quality I could not otherwise afford this way. Environemntally and ethically I know its not perfect (donations going to landfills, shipping of online items and the resources that intells, ex) but it is definately one of the better changes I've made.
it might not be perfect, but the most important thing is that you are trying. the world does not people being perfectly ethical but millikns trying but doing it withs flaws ☺☺
I have been obsessively watching your videos from months now. I finally delved into my own no-buy. I am starting with 30 days. I have been rewatching your old videos for motivation when I am feeling weak, ha. Your videos are super helpful. Thank you :)
Hannah I would love to see a video updating ya on your progress of decluttering your fantasy self and how you work on realizing you don’t need luxury in all purchased goods. I struggle with this myself and would love to hear your thoughts around the topic!
I totally get you about that awful feeling when the old habits take you again. I tripped at the end of last month with three pairs of shoes and a beautiful cotton blazer, all pre-loved (I spent about 180 USD including international shipping). After that, I was rapidly rolling down a slope and then I just said "Ok now, stop". I treated the spending as replacements for my work wardrobe (I had recently decluttered two pairs of worn out shoes, but I have more). I know I'm cheating, but that helped me to go back to the no-buy mindset instead of throwing everything away as I did in the past. I'm grateful that at least I was able to stop myself. Big hug!
I would love a plant video-how you got into them, why you think it became a problem, whether you have a green thumb or not, and just a plant tour! These are my fave videos! I love seeing what you spent your money on in the previous month!
In the UK the makeup return policy is much stricter. Basically once you use it you can't return it. But I guess it's a good thing because it makes people think twice before purchasing.
Same in France. And it seems like the rules around samples are much stricter here as well. I wish I could get a sample of foundation in order to truly test it beforehand, instead of hoping I'll get a foil packet that more often than not won't be my shade and/or a formula I'm actually interested in. It would limit mistakes when buying base products.
I once tried to return something defective and wasn't able to! (I live in Canada). So I wrote to the company itself that made the product and they sent me a new one for free! 👌🏻
These are always some of my favorite videos that you do for your beauty budget! I’m also all for quality/ethicality over quantity, so hearing you mention why you bought from Aritzia was exciting for me.
thanks to your lovely videos I am on a stationery low/no buy this year. but this week I splurged (because I handed in the final version of my bachelor thesis) and spend the grand total of 4 euros on 3 washis and some stickers. and I just can't get over how happy i am with them, it's just the second time this year I bought stationery so I'm actually very pleased with myself
Hi Hannah! Thank you for making me consider the ethical choices I make with my dollars. One thing ive noticed on my own journey is that more expensive does not alway equal more ethical. For example, at least in Australia, Cotton On was given a very high ethical rating. Have you considered cheaper options and how they might satisfy your beauty budget needs?
I love how Joe told you to tell us about your bad day caused you to buy makeup. Sometimes retail therapy rears it’s ugly head but at least it was an item that you desired and not something that you bought randomly. It was also interesting how you said spending all that money at once made you want to spend more. It goes hand-in-hand with how you said the less you spend the less you feel like spending. I’m continuing on successfully with my makeup no by. I let the 15% to the Sephora sale go. I wanted to pick up the Drunk Elephant cleanser and a make up brush but I decided to wait it out until I finish up the balm cleanser that I am currently using. For the 15% discount, I don’t need to store a back up of a cleanser. And I am thinking about the make up brush to make sure it’s something that I really want.
Lisa D I skipped this year as well for the same reason. I am trying to curate my collection down to one item per category (skincare) that I love. It is nice to see all of the helpful insights in the video and in the comments. Sharing the journey helps!
Chris Pavesic Good for you for skipping too! I don’t have an over abundance of skin care but I have an excess of makeup for one person, hence my makeup no buy! I started on January 1st and am continuing through the year. It’s replacement only with some other rules set in place regarding point perks, points, store Birthday gifts, gifts with purchase and samples. It’s nice to be on the journey with others!
I've really been trying to focus on playing with and swatching the makeup I already have. That has really helped with the urge to "buy for my fantasy self", so thank you so much!!!
Makeup play time really helps me get a better feel for what I have. I can practice technique and wipe it off if I hate it - I usually learn new techniques that work well when I do this.
My new favorite! Where have you been in my UA-cam world up until now! I’m a huge budget buyer also. The no buy year video was so inspirational, as someone who strives for minimalism but I fail in categories, mostly skincare and black shirts 😄
Agree with you on returns. Agree that a companies return policy shouldn’t be a reason to try a product, but also, you should be able to return a product especially if you have tried to do everything you can to not need to return it, but in the end it just didn’t work out. Thank you for addressing this topic.
the plant in the back is some kind of anthurium. I am guessing it's either anthurium hookeri or anthurium plowmanii. they get pretty big in the wild, never saw them sold as houseplants before. really cool!
I've got liquid lipstick that's sadly too dark to weard during the day when applied with the wand. I put it on the back of my hand and then apply it with lip brush. I'm not saying it to change your mind about returning (I would probably return mine if they had return policy - I like my lipsticks to be easily reaplied) but maybe try it once to see if the effect is any different than what you get now.
I'm on week two of my own no buy and currently I am struggling with something which seems like a no-brainer to some but it has been a big thing in my mind for the last couple of days: sunscreen. I was running out of sunscreen right before my no buy began and I decided not to continue with the sunscreen I was using (Bioré Aqua Rich Watery Gel) because of the high concentration of alcohol in this particular product. So, I went ahead and ordered something I thought I used to like which had no alcohol and I remembered owning in the past before the Bioré one, the Alba Botanica Hawaiian Sunscreen SPF 45. Well... I was sorely reminded of why I had changed from that sunscreen to the one I was using up until this point: it stings when it gets in your eyes. Now, if this wasn't working as my daily face sunscreen it wouldn't be so much of an issue except that it is and it somehow always ends up in my eyes at the end of the day when I've been teaching for a couple of hours and it burns. So you might be thinking, well then just buy a new sunscreen! But this feels... wrong in a way? The burning isn't so bad, more like an annoying stinging but part of me feels I should not ignore this. This coupled with the fact that I now have an excuse to BUY something and also spend hours browsing and obsessing over the perfect sunscreen has me just wanting to continue to use the one I have. It's quite a lot to consider. Again, sorry for using your comments as a place to write so much but it does help me get these thoughts out of my head and onto the screen. Your videos truly inspired me to go on this journey and truly analyze what it is these actions make me feel and why. Also, I am sooo not going to click on the links for that shirt you're wearing or else I'm going to lament my no buy for a bit. You look incredible as always!
Velkoria Agrios obviously you know your no buy rules better than anyone but it seems to me that buying a new sunscreen in those circumstances is reasonable. I just switched from the Biore Watery Essence (also because of alcohol content) to the Erin’s Faces one Hannah recommends. It cost a lot (relative to what I usually spend on skincare) but it really is an amazing product- so lightweight and blends in easily with no sunscreen smell. I also prefer to support that small company over Biore.
don't worry about writing in the comments, I love it! If you remember, I had a "health and safety" provision in my no-buy rules. I think sunscreen IN your eyes is probably bad for your eyes, and not using a sunscreen is bad for your skin. To me, buying a different one would fall under health & safety. I'd use up the Alba just on the body.
@@HannahLouisePoston Thank you so much for replying, Hannah. I also have a health and safety amendment to my no-buy rules but I guess I was so excited to go into this head first that I was resisting buying something altogether. I am kind of an extremist like that. I also think I was kind of willing to ignore the slight stinging because it's so slight- I say now as I refuse to touch my face in fear that this product will get in my eyes and I will have to suffer through it for the next four hours of work. Ah, the things we (and by we I truly do mean me) are willing to do in order to say 'I achieved this thing.' Edit: I think in the end I have made the right decision in buying a sunscreen that isn't going to blind me in the future.
@@amandadavenport2020 I also think it's reasonable and I think the reason I am so pushing back against it is the fact that it feels too soon to be 'cheating' if that makes any sense. No, it's not cheating because this is clearly hurting me but it 'feels' that way to me. I almost bit the bullet and bought the Erin's Faces SPF Hannah raves about... until I realized I live in Spain and the shipping and customs brought the price up to almost double the original and that was just not an investment I was willing to make for something I use on the daily and will need more of. I think I am somewhere between the Supergoop one and maybe the Simple hydrating lotion with SPF 30. We'll see which one I go for soon! Thank you for your kind reply though.
It's time for me to do some clothing shopping as well. In my no-buy, I allowed for used clothing and locally made and/ orsmall business made clothing. I am quickly realizing that I despise most of my clothes. The only pants I own are jeans and some pajama looking pants. Not great for the triple digit summer I'm looking at.
I totally know how you feel. I was so emotional /PMS’ing last week, I bought 8 pairs of shoes and now as I look at them and I am back to my senses, They are going back. But the statement is true, now I can feel this yearning to buy quite like a child with the Toys R Us 300 page Holiday Catalog.
Sadie is so sophisticated! I can't have plants because my feline monsters will eat them. I love that Sadie is like--chewing on plants is for the undeveloped...I have no desire to chew on plants.
she does try to chew on the elephant cactus once in a while to make a point about being hungry. But it doesn't usually work out. We got her some wheatgrass and she loves it, I think that satisfies her cravings for greens.
I love the BB crushed lipstick, but I bought it in 2 lighter colors, Juicy Date and Peach and Quiet. I apply it to my lower lip and smush my lips together to transfer it to the top lip and use the wand without adding more product, to perfect the lip. I like that it is not thick and drying like a typical liquid lip which I hate. Exchange it for another color perhaps.
You hairstyle today reminds me of that 1950s/60s kitsch painting. Do you know the one I mean? It looks fabulous, btw! Maybe your plant with the grey seed pod is a triffid, lol.
I felt the same about the crushed liquid lips, however, I don't mind using my fingers to apply it...the formula is so light and comfortable on the lips, I can overlook the application drawback.
Oh my goodness we had a similar experience. Was having a bad day thought I’d look over the sale on Beauty Bay (British beauty site). The Shimmer Veils are usually £20 each and they were on sale for £2 each. Didn’t need them but thought it would make me feel better so I bought 3. Lol Just found you channel from a link from Samantha March. I love your way of thinking and going thru everything so methodically.
I just came to your channel thru Samantha March. This is the second video I am watching from you and you got a new subscriber. I have a question: what is a better way to handle a bad day without “buying stuff”? Especially when at work? (Most of my bad days have to do with work stuff). I should not buy makeup or clothes I do not need, nor treat myself to overpriced drinks or sugary treats. I am nit a yoga person. I am trying to get back into exercising regularly, and that works. But do you have any other tips? Thank you!
Loved this video! (Your hair looks beautiful btw!) I like how carefully you spent and how you explained the purchases (& listed & linked them...so comprehensive!)! I found "holes" in my wardrobe when the season changed. Slowly working on that...Hugs! :D
Lol i am here for the first time. And i must say i love your channel already. And this is super inspiring me. Imma look into how i can do a budget too .i love this idea
Next time you want a plain white T-shirt or even a color T-shirt, Check American giant. I’ve heard really good things about their business ethics and their clothes are amazing I have a few of their sweatshirt hoodies
I have to admit that I made a semi-impulsive beauty purchase a few days ago, myself... I was having a particularly rough day with my illness, feeling a pervasive blah, & I committed to a few months of Scentbird. Granted, it was something I've been mulling over for a few years & I didn't even realize that shipped here to Puerto Rico, so... In a sense, it was somewhat deliberate. I have been wanting to try more unisex fragrances [in no small sense influenced by you!]. But I realize my motivations weren't 100% in the right place. I'm happy with my decision & excited, but I really need to combat wanting to make myself feel better internally through an external means. Unless it's buying more ice packs, hahahah
Slowing my makeup purchases has really led me to fewer regrets. I only regret one item since starting my low buy in December. I realized I don't like matte lipstick and am tired of topping them with gloss. I will eventually curate my collection to just those and glosses
No7 has a beautiful concealer, the lightest is shade 10. It's in a click pen like YSL and others. I didn't mention it for the concealer video you asked for references in because you said you needed it so fair. Im not sure how fair it would be on you, but the formula is great .
I love the bobbi brown crushed lipsticks- I have Bare, Cabana, and Grenadine and they are my go tos period. I wish that there were more deeper browns and purpley plums (I feel like the ones they have lean very red.) I always want to pick up more colors but need to not- I feel like I must have already chosen the ones in the range that flatter me most. Sad to hear that the liquid lips aren't more of the same texture as there are some interesting colors but probably for the best haha.
Your plants are lovely and I love how weird they are. I’ve been jonesing for a couple house plants, but I’m waiting until after RONB May. I spent most of my budget last month on staple replacement skincare. I purchased BOTH Good Genes and The Ordinary 10% Lactic Acid. I have regrets. I had never tried the ordinary and it’s just okay. I kind of wish I had saved the $10-$12 but the other part of me things GG is just sooo expensive! I also bought two t shirts, and spent money getting my nails done with a friend. Normally services like nails aren’t part of my beauty budget, but because I had not accounted for it in my personal care budget it had to come from somewhere. I finished the month with $72 and I’m spending no money this month. I’m hoping to go into June with the necessary funds to buy some summer clothes for the gaps in my wardrobe and a new Hourglass Powder. However my budget is currently acting as a buffer for blog expenses so it’ll depend on how the setting up of the blog goes. The blog is still on track to go live on June 1, so I’m excited 😬
Hannah, you made me look at the Cover FX website to see if they still had free shipping! They don't. Haha! Those shimmer things are beautiful, but... I already have a Stila Shimmer shadow that I love and would like to use more. 💜💜💜
yes, I can make my own tango clothes if I need to. But I'm not a streetwear designer. It's like asking a sushi chef why she doesn't make her own pasta sauce instead of buying it in a jar :)
@@HannahLouisePoston what I meant was that in the video you said that you were searching the perfect basic cropped top and you love that it is clean, simple and basic. Your designs at Poema are much more elaborate so I thought it would be easier to design your own perfect cropped top lol. It would be like the sushi chef making a great pasta sauce on the weekend because he feels like it i make a lot of my own clothes so that is why i am asking
my cat always chews the plants that my mum buys! does Sadie do that? haha. Really love buying items off Etsy because it feels great to use my money to get stuff I want and support people's creative dreams at same time
Hey Hannah, as a fellow Cat owner, could you tell what plants you have in your studio? I am looking to buy some and for my apartment and I want them to be cat safe :)
Your two new ear piercings just reminded me of the 4 I am getting in June (yay holiday!). If it makes you feel better I also used makeup as retail therapy this month. An apartment in my building caught fire (I was never in any danger of burning) at like 4am two sundays ago, my apartment filled with smoke and the cat and I ended up having to breathe out of a tiny window on the attic (smoke was getting in through both my balcony and my front door. Joy) for about 20 min until we got evacuated. So when I got home, instead of getting back into bed I cleaned my house like three times to try and get rid of the soot, thus slept... less than 5 h. So on Monday, sleep deprived, jumpy as you can imagine and dealing with the fun after effects of smoke inhalation I got on the Internet and got myself an eyeshadow palette. I can’t even bring myself to regret it tbh.
OMGEE! I am so glad you are OK and were never in danger of burning. Some stories in life you can't write! I LOVE that you can't bring yourself to regret buying the palette...rock on!
I like the concept of Atitzia. I find it hard to find something for me because of the fact that most their tops are cropped and a lot of the blouses are 100% polyester which is not what I want for their prices. Your t shirt looks beautiful though!
books were included in my no-buy and I got in the habit of going to the library, so it's not really a problem anymore. I do buy books from time to time for my Kindle and I have an Audible membership, and those are not coming out of my budget (the Audible books are technically a work expense, and the Kindle books only ever add up to a couple of dollars a month). I read a lot of library books :)
hah! We get her wheatgrass to eat every couple of weeks and she seems satisfied with that. I hope that's okay? The internet says yes but I will await your website with bated breath. She does sometimes pretend she's going to chew on the elephant cactus but it's just for attention when she thinks we should be feeding her instead of watching TV.
How do you like your piercings? Do they hurt? I got my cartilage pierced twice well over 20 years ago and it still hurts if I wear them especially at night. But I love them LOL
*OMG! You poor thing! My skin hates all oils especially coconut oil I always get closed comedones from them!* also anything with rose oil/rose anything in it. I have a very hard time finding skin care
Hi lovely, I know this comment is ancient but I still had to ask... can you share if you've found any holy grails? Sounds like we've got similar skin types! Xxx
I just took a look at Aritzia's international site and god you have EXCELLENT taste. Not that I didn't realize that before, but this just confirms it. All of their pieces are absolutely gorgeous. If I had US salary tier money I'd probably buy half the store.
I'm confused. Are you returning the Cover FX drops? It sounds like you love them, but you mentioned the other item you are returning as you moved in to talking about them. Also, I understand your disappointment in yourself but you shouldn't beat yourself up about the purchase. It's something to keep in your mind moving forward though... maybe it will help you keep yourself in check in the future. P.S: The plants look nice :)
I love how organic your videos are with the ambient sounds and Joe interrupting once in a while 😂 thank you for another fun video Hannah! ❤️❤️❤️
Hannah, I wanted to thank you for the impact you have had on my life.
I started watching you because of your no-buy and budgeting stuff. But I had no interest in make up and skincare.
I would spend too much money on homeware (particularly plants) and art/craft materials and sometimes clothes. My spending is sooo much better now.
I have also learnt a lot about skincare. You said in a video that you don’t really use physical exfoliants much anymore and I had no idea what a physical exfoliant was. So I did some googling. I discovered salicylic acid is a thing. I also discovered how much I didn’t know about skincare. I’ve replaced all my skincare products with better quality products (though not more expensive). And I’ve added exfoliator (salicylic acid) and a serum into my routine. I also have a facial oil for when I have really dry skin. My face eczema is the best it’s been for years and the blackheads on my nose and spots on my forehead are starting to disappear for the first time since puberty!
I’ve been careful to buy the cheapest but best products I could when getting new skincare stuff and only have one item in each category.
I’m still not very into make up, but that’s always been because a lot of makeup I tried irritated my skin. Now that I know more about skincare and ingredients, I might be able to find makeup that doesn’t make me itch, and might finally be able to experiment with makeup (I couldn’t do that as a teenager though I wanted to because my skin would get too itchy).
But you have changed my spending and changed my skin. And I wanted to thank you. You’ve had such an impact on me and we’ve never even spoken.
Thank you
Nikki
Dear Nikki, thank you so much for this comment! I'm really happy to hear that your spending and your skin have improved :) As a former acne sufferer I really believe in the power of a smart skincare routine. Having it within your own power to clear up your skin can have a surprisingly big impact. Sending a hug to you! xoxo
I've had some skin issues that prevented me from using make up when I was younger. I've found that a couple of layers of skincare stuff like a moisterizer, oil, and primer creates a barrier and keeps the itch down.
Am i the only one who's constantly checking if I can see Sadie somewhere in the background...? ❤
Constantly! 😆
I make it a game of Where's Sadie. And today I've managed to locate her before Joe disturbed her. XD
I spotted her under the table in the chair bathing herself this video then joe went and pet her real quick and she had to bathe that spot again 😂
Nope. I do it, too.
Ginger Cat yes only one or maybe another few cat people
“Are you here for permanent?” 😂
You look like an urban princess here - your hair is stunning, your lip color is gorgeous, your brows and eyes are beautiful and i love your nails and shirt too! I love the theme of having fewer but nicer things :) rock on!
thank you Zeyn! xoxo!
Your feelings and reasonings behind the purchases are the reason I enjoy your videos so much, not because of the purchases themselves. So I love that these videos aren't quick and dirty, we would miss the best part!
Love you channel and all the introspection you're sharing. Have you considered broadening the content to more than "beauty budget" themes? I'd love to see, at least sporadically, some videoas about other aspects od you (maybe about your eating habits/decisions, vlog from a tango event, apartment tour, your wardrobe, Poema studio.. etc).
Hi, Hannah. Today I had a pretty rough day and cried for over two hours because it seems like all my plans for my future have fallen apart, but watching your video makes me feel better for the moment. I have been through much worse, so I will make it through this, too.
it's hard to plan for the future! I'm sure you are destined for things you aren't able to imagine or plan for yet :) My plans have fallen through a thousand times, it will work out!
I love how you discuss what you bought and why, it makes me think twice before buying things, without even being on a budget haha :P
Our minds are such odd things. I totally get that buying made you want to buy more. Last fall I realized that I had finally successfully filled the holes in my wardrobe (I won't go into why but it has been around a 4 year process). So I decided to do a no-buy for clothing through Halloween of 2019. Seems silly since I don't need anything but I feel like I've developed the habit of looking for and buying clothes and I needed to make a clean break so my brain really knows that it is time to stop considering clothing purchases. It's like being at the store and thinking, "Don't I need toilet paper?"; buying the toilet paper; getting home to find you had already bought some! My brain remembers the need more easily than it remembers that the need has been satisfied.
Joe and Sadie flitting in and out in the back was so funny 😂😂 Additionally, your hair and the earrings are a 1960s dream! Lastly, I loved what you said about returns! I had a terrible habit (before going on my no buy) of using returns as a way to allow myself to impulsively buy things I really didn't need. I'm glad the no buy changed your attitude towards things, and that you made the decision to return that crushed liquid lip - that situation is truly the one returns are made for! 💛💛
Hi Prachi! xo!
I think it’s okay to purchase impulsively every once in awhile. I really do. You’ve learned so much from your no-Buy and your beauty budget, that even your impulses are more likely better informed and better thought out than they were before. I’ve realized this on my low-buy. My impulse buying is way, way down, but I was in Marshall’s the other day and saw a beautiful eyeshadow palette marked down to $10. The old me would have bought that and several other items, no question. This time, I thought about why I wanted it (just a marked down high end brand, or is it because the selection of colors is perfect and I know I like the formula?). I also realized that I didn’t want to completely lose the ability to be impulsive, sort of like you talked about with your second piercing. That’s why the budget it there. I don’t want to be afraid of shopping. I just need to remember that the whole point of my low-buy is to be a smarter consumer, and then trust myself that even my few impulsive purchases are more informed than I give myself credit for.
I second this. I've been considering trying some lip products and Colourpop has been high on my list to try because they're affordable and most people love them. I somewhat impulsively bought them but I was reasonable about the indulgence. I weeded 9+ colors down to 3, 1 of each formula that I saw and I took screen shots of the color on the models lips and compared them to see what I thought I would actually like. It was a bit impulsive, but I think I feel like it was worse than it actually was because at one point I had a cart full of 9 + lip products, 2 pigments, 2 eyeliners and I was even considering buying a palette (though I know that I own all of their palettes that I am truly interested in.) In the end I only bought the 2 pigments I wanted - they were the reason for the entire purchase, 3 lipsticks and 2 lip liners.
A while back you had bought a part of shoes from ebay and had made a comment on the money going to another individual was positive in about every way. I love thrifting. Almost exclusively, my small closet has been composed from thredup, goodwills, local stores, and more specific items from ebay. Even my jewlery is made by local artists or mostly vintage used pieces from ebay. I adore them, so unique and have lasted so long with so much life left. Not fast fashion jewlery falling apart after a few months. Most items I've had or intend to have for years but the few items that no longer serve me are in good enough condition to re-donate. I can get quality I could not otherwise afford this way. Environemntally and ethically I know its not perfect (donations going to landfills, shipping of online items and the resources that intells, ex) but it is definately one of the better changes I've made.
it might not be perfect, but the most important thing is that you are trying. the world does not people being perfectly ethical but millikns trying but doing it withs flaws ☺☺
I was so excited when I saw you and Lauren together after getting piercings! I love you both.
Tarable Decisions me too!! 💕
I have been obsessively watching your videos from months now. I finally delved into my own no-buy. I am starting with 30 days. I have been rewatching your old videos for motivation when I am feeling weak, ha. Your videos are super helpful. Thank you :)
yay, congratulations!
Hannah I would love to see a video updating ya on your progress of decluttering your fantasy self and how you work on realizing you don’t need luxury in all purchased goods. I struggle with this myself and would love to hear your thoughts around the topic!
I totally get you about that awful feeling when the old habits take you again. I tripped at the end of last month with three pairs of shoes and a beautiful cotton blazer, all pre-loved (I spent about 180 USD including international shipping). After that, I was rapidly rolling down a slope and then I just said "Ok now, stop".
I treated the spending as replacements for my work wardrobe (I had recently decluttered two pairs of worn out shoes, but I have more). I know I'm cheating, but that helped me to go back to the no-buy mindset instead of throwing everything away as I did in the past. I'm grateful that at least I was able to stop myself. Big hug!
Also, I’m so into the voices you give you and Joe. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I would love a plant video-how you got into them, why you think it became a problem, whether you have a green thumb or not, and just a plant tour! These are my fave videos! I love seeing what you spent your money on in the previous month!
short answer: I do not have a green thumb and can only buy the plants that thrive on neglect. They die at a rate of about 25%
In the UK the makeup return policy is much stricter. Basically once you use it you can't return it. But I guess it's a good thing because it makes people think twice before purchasing.
Same in sweden
Same in France. And it seems like the rules around samples are much stricter here as well. I wish I could get a sample of foundation in order to truly test it beforehand, instead of hoping I'll get a foil packet that more often than not won't be my shade and/or a formula I'm actually interested in. It would limit mistakes when buying base products.
I once tried to return something defective and wasn't able to! (I live in Canada). So I wrote to the company itself that made the product and they sent me a new one for free! 👌🏻
These are always some of my favorite videos that you do for your beauty budget! I’m also all for quality/ethicality over quantity, so hearing you mention why you bought from Aritzia was exciting for me.
I totally relate to the "slowing down" point. Buying stuff even within my budget makes me want to buy more.
SHOW US HOW YOU DID YOUR HALF UPDO!! (Caps for emphasis.)
I’ve asked this before, but any chance you can do a house tour as well as an updated makeup collection, and a what’s in your bag?
Idk if I'm the only one but yes, this is the first video I'm watching from your channel 😂
thanks to your lovely videos I am on a stationery low/no buy this year. but this week I splurged (because I handed in the final version of my bachelor thesis) and spend the grand total of 4 euros on 3 washis and some stickers. and I just can't get over how happy i am with them, it's just the second time this year I bought stationery so I'm actually very pleased with myself
When you stop mid another video because you have been waiting for this!!! 😘
Same!
You are one of very few people I enjoy longer videos from.
I love how your hair looks here girl :)
Love your makeup in this video!!!! 20 k subscribers!!! I remember your first video....Bravo, Hannah, way to go !!!
thank you my dear!
Hi Hannah! Thank you for making me consider the ethical choices I make with my dollars. One thing ive noticed on my own journey is that more expensive does not alway equal more ethical. For example, at least in Australia, Cotton On was given a very high ethical rating. Have you considered cheaper options and how they might satisfy your beauty budget needs?
I love how Joe told you to tell us about your bad day caused you to buy makeup. Sometimes retail therapy rears it’s ugly head but at least it was an item that you desired and not something that you bought randomly. It was also interesting how you said spending all that money at once made you want to spend more. It goes hand-in-hand with how you said the less you spend the less you feel like spending. I’m continuing on successfully with my makeup no by. I let the 15% to the Sephora sale go. I wanted to pick up the Drunk Elephant cleanser and a make up brush but I decided to wait it out until I finish up the balm cleanser that I am currently using. For the 15% discount, I don’t need to store a back up of a cleanser. And I am thinking about the make up brush to make sure it’s something that I really want.
Lisa D I skipped this year as well for the same reason. I am trying to curate my collection down to one item per category (skincare) that I love. It is nice to see all of the helpful insights in the video and in the comments. Sharing the journey helps!
Hi Lisa! Joe says "you should tell your subscribers about it" in response to about 45% of my stories these days, LOL :)
Joe is too funny! He was thrown into the UA-cam world by default! Lol!
Chris Pavesic Good for you for skipping too! I don’t have an over abundance of skin care but I have an excess of makeup for one person, hence my makeup no buy! I started on January 1st and am continuing through the year. It’s replacement only with some other rules set in place regarding point perks, points, store Birthday gifts, gifts with purchase and samples. It’s nice to be on the journey with others!
I've really been trying to focus on playing with and swatching the makeup I already have. That has really helped with the urge to "buy for my fantasy self", so thank you so much!!!
Makeup play time really helps me get a better feel for what I have. I can practice technique and wipe it off if I hate it - I usually learn new techniques that work well when I do this.
My new favorite! Where have you been in my UA-cam world up until now!
I’m a huge budget buyer also.
The no buy year video was so inspirational, as someone who strives for minimalism but I fail in categories, mostly skincare and black shirts 😄
Have you checked out Everlane? I feel like their vibe and ethics would align well with your style!
Your entire look today is fire 🔥🔥🔥 love your videos as always, feels like im listening to a friend talk for 30mins and its really comforting 💞
You look so beautiful! Also, I love the lighting in your new place....and the place in general
You crack me up! You aren't alone with having a bad day and shopping. Would love to have Joe in a video anytime he is up for it.
I loved this whole video! I loved your look, I loved the lipstick back and forth, I loved the plants!
Agree with you on returns. Agree that a companies return policy shouldn’t be a reason to try a product, but also, you should be able to return a product especially if you have tried to do everything you can to not need to return it, but in the end it just didn’t work out. Thank you for addressing this topic.
the plant in the back is some kind of anthurium. I am guessing it's either anthurium hookeri or anthurium plowmanii. they get pretty big in the wild, never saw them sold as houseplants before. really cool!
YES that's what he said! Anthurium! I knew it started with an A. thanks!
I've got liquid lipstick that's sadly too dark to weard during the day when applied with the wand. I put it on the back of my hand and then apply it with lip brush. I'm not saying it to change your mind about returning (I would probably return mine if they had return policy - I like my lipsticks to be easily reaplied) but maybe try it once to see if the effect is any different than what you get now.
I'm on week two of my own no buy and currently I am struggling with something which seems like a no-brainer to some but it has been a big thing in my mind for the last couple of days: sunscreen. I was running out of sunscreen right before my no buy began and I decided not to continue with the sunscreen I was using (Bioré Aqua Rich Watery Gel) because of the high concentration of alcohol in this particular product. So, I went ahead and ordered something I thought I used to like which had no alcohol and I remembered owning in the past before the Bioré one, the Alba Botanica Hawaiian Sunscreen SPF 45. Well... I was sorely reminded of why I had changed from that sunscreen to the one I was using up until this point: it stings when it gets in your eyes. Now, if this wasn't working as my daily face sunscreen it wouldn't be so much of an issue except that it is and it somehow always ends up in my eyes at the end of the day when I've been teaching for a couple of hours and it burns. So you might be thinking, well then just buy a new sunscreen! But this feels... wrong in a way? The burning isn't so bad, more like an annoying stinging but part of me feels I should not ignore this. This coupled with the fact that I now have an excuse to BUY something and also spend hours browsing and obsessing over the perfect sunscreen has me just wanting to continue to use the one I have. It's quite a lot to consider.
Again, sorry for using your comments as a place to write so much but it does help me get these thoughts out of my head and onto the screen. Your videos truly inspired me to go on this journey and truly analyze what it is these actions make me feel and why. Also, I am sooo not going to click on the links for that shirt you're wearing or else I'm going to lament my no buy for a bit. You look incredible as always!
Velkoria Agrios obviously you know your no buy rules better than anyone but it seems to me that buying a new sunscreen in those circumstances is reasonable. I just switched from the Biore Watery Essence (also because of alcohol content) to the Erin’s Faces one Hannah recommends. It cost a lot (relative to what I usually spend on skincare) but it really is an amazing product- so lightweight and blends in easily with no sunscreen smell. I also prefer to support that small company over Biore.
don't worry about writing in the comments, I love it! If you remember, I had a "health and safety" provision in my no-buy rules. I think sunscreen IN your eyes is probably bad for your eyes, and not using a sunscreen is bad for your skin. To me, buying a different one would fall under health & safety. I'd use up the Alba just on the body.
@@HannahLouisePoston Thank you so much for replying, Hannah. I also have a health and safety amendment to my no-buy rules but I guess I was so excited to go into this head first that I was resisting buying something altogether. I am kind of an extremist like that. I also think I was kind of willing to ignore the slight stinging because it's so slight- I say now as I refuse to touch my face in fear that this product will get in my eyes and I will have to suffer through it for the next four hours of work.
Ah, the things we (and by we I truly do mean me) are willing to do in order to say 'I achieved this thing.'
Edit: I think in the end I have made the right decision in buying a sunscreen that isn't going to blind me in the future.
@@amandadavenport2020 I also think it's reasonable and I think the reason I am so pushing back against it is the fact that it feels too soon to be 'cheating' if that makes any sense. No, it's not cheating because this is clearly hurting me but it 'feels' that way to me. I almost bit the bullet and bought the Erin's Faces SPF Hannah raves about... until I realized I live in Spain and the shipping and customs brought the price up to almost double the original and that was just not an investment I was willing to make for something I use on the daily and will need more of. I think I am somewhere between the Supergoop one and maybe the Simple hydrating lotion with SPF 30. We'll see which one I go for soon! Thank you for your kind reply though.
It's time for me to do some clothing shopping as well. In my no-buy, I allowed for used clothing and locally made and/ orsmall business made clothing. I am quickly realizing that I despise most of my clothes. The only pants I own are jeans and some pajama looking pants. Not great for the triple digit summer I'm looking at.
Can you please do a plant video? Like what plants you have and how you care for them ❤️
Love your hairstyle! You are gorgeous. I hope you and Lauren did a video together
I totally know how you feel. I was so emotional /PMS’ing last week, I bought 8 pairs of shoes and now as I look at them and I am back to my senses, They are going back. But the statement is true, now I can feel this yearning to buy quite like a child with the Toys R Us 300 page Holiday Catalog.
Sadie is so sophisticated! I can't have plants because my feline monsters will eat them. I love that Sadie is like--chewing on plants is for the undeveloped...I have no desire to chew on plants.
she does try to chew on the elephant cactus once in a while to make a point about being hungry. But it doesn't usually work out. We got her some wheatgrass and she loves it, I think that satisfies her cravings for greens.
I love the BB crushed lipstick, but I bought it in 2 lighter colors, Juicy Date and Peach and Quiet. I apply it to my lower lip and smush my lips together to transfer it to the top lip and use the wand without adding more product, to perfect the lip. I like that it is not thick and drying like a typical liquid lip which I hate. Exchange it for another color perhaps.
You’re hair looks so fun, how did you style it for this video?
with a butterfly clip!
I’d love to see a video about your thoughts on minimalism! Maybe even a dedicated series about it.. just a thought..
You hairstyle today reminds me of that 1950s/60s kitsch painting. Do you know the one I mean? It looks fabulous, btw! Maybe your plant with the grey seed pod is a triffid, lol.
I felt the same about the crushed liquid lips, however, I don't mind using my fingers to apply it...the formula is so light and comfortable on the lips, I can overlook the application drawback.
Oh my goodness we had a similar experience. Was having a bad day thought I’d look over the sale on Beauty Bay (British beauty site). The Shimmer Veils are usually £20 each and they were on sale for £2 each. Didn’t need them but thought it would make me feel better so I bought 3. Lol
Just found you channel from a link from Samantha March. I love your way of thinking and going thru everything so methodically.
I'm clicking on you for the first time! lol :D Samantha March gave you a great shout out, so I had to rush over to check you (and this series) out :)
The Plant is Gorgeous, it's Firm and strong and Cool, Personality, My Black Tulips are Coming Out....🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻
I just came to your channel thru Samantha March. This is the second video I am watching from you and you got a new subscriber. I have a question: what is a better way to handle a bad day without “buying stuff”? Especially when at work? (Most of my bad days have to do with work stuff). I should not buy makeup or clothes I do not need, nor treat myself to overpriced drinks or sugary treats. I am nit a yoga person. I am trying to get back into exercising regularly, and that works. But do you have any other tips? Thank you!
Your hair looks amazing Hannah.
Loved this video! (Your hair looks beautiful btw!) I like how carefully you spent and how you explained the purchases (& listed & linked them...so comprehensive!)! I found "holes" in my wardrobe when the season changed. Slowly working on that...Hugs! :D
Lol i am here for the first time. And i must say i love your channel already. And this is super inspiring me. Imma look into how i can do a budget too .i love this idea
Hey Girly Girl, We can see the things that are relevant in Your life, and the Class Decisions that you Make 🌻🌻🌻🌻
Loving this look Hannah😍great video xx
Next time you want a plain white T-shirt or even a color T-shirt, Check American giant. I’ve heard really good things about their business ethics and their clothes are amazing I have a few of their sweatshirt hoodies
"is anyone out there clicking on me for the first time and this is what you're seeing...? goodness gracious!"
I have to admit that I made a semi-impulsive beauty purchase a few days ago, myself...
I was having a particularly rough day with my illness, feeling a pervasive blah, & I committed to a few months of Scentbird. Granted, it was something I've been mulling over for a few years & I didn't even realize that shipped here to Puerto Rico, so... In a sense, it was somewhat deliberate. I have been wanting to try more unisex fragrances [in no small sense influenced by you!]. But I realize my motivations weren't 100% in the right place.
I'm happy with my decision & excited, but I really need to combat wanting to make myself feel better internally through an external means. Unless it's buying more ice packs, hahahah
I'm a new subscriber but I really like your videos 😊💙👍
Slowing my makeup purchases has really led me to fewer regrets. I only regret one item since starting my low buy in December. I realized I don't like matte lipstick and am tired of topping them with gloss. I will eventually curate my collection to just those and glosses
No7 has a beautiful concealer, the lightest is shade 10. It's in a click pen like YSL and others. I didn't mention it for the concealer video you asked for references in because you said you needed it so fair. Im not sure how fair it would be on you, but the formula is great .
I swatched it once in store and it wasn't light enough :(
bummer @@HannahLouisePoston
I love the bobbi brown crushed lipsticks- I have Bare, Cabana, and Grenadine and they are my go tos period. I wish that there were more deeper browns and purpley plums (I feel like the ones they have lean very red.) I always want to pick up more colors but need to not- I feel like I must have already chosen the ones in the range that flatter me most. Sad to hear that the liquid lips aren't more of the same texture as there are some interesting colors but probably for the best haha.
Your plants are lovely and I love how weird they are. I’ve been jonesing for a couple house plants, but I’m waiting until after RONB May. I spent most of my budget last month on staple replacement skincare.
I purchased BOTH Good Genes and The Ordinary 10% Lactic Acid. I have regrets. I had never tried the ordinary and it’s just okay. I kind of wish I had saved the $10-$12 but the other part of me things GG is just sooo expensive! I also bought two t shirts, and spent money getting my nails done with a friend. Normally services like nails aren’t part of my beauty budget, but because I had not accounted for it in my personal care budget it had to come from somewhere. I finished the month with $72 and I’m spending no money this month. I’m hoping to go into June with the necessary funds to buy some summer clothes for the gaps in my wardrobe and a new Hourglass Powder. However my budget is currently acting as a buffer for blog expenses so it’ll depend on how the setting up of the blog goes. The blog is still on track to go live on June 1, so I’m excited 😬
yesss can't wait for the blog
Studies have shown that if you can not return an item you will love it more. x
I can not get over this bronzy look! Gorgeous! (As always.)
thank you Kristin!
Hannah, you made me look at the Cover FX website to see if they still had free shipping! They don't. Haha! Those shimmer things are beautiful, but... I already have a Stila Shimmer shadow that I love and would like to use more. 💜💜💜
I love your cat. We have two tabby tiger striped kitties too.
Do a Skincare 101!
Did you try blotting the lipstick with a paper napkin or the back of your hand or a card?
Give it a last shot before you do so
Sidhikka Bajpai that’s how I wear them and they’re my favorite :)
Hannah,you spend your beautybudget very well this month,you bought Some baustifull items,xoxo wendy❤️
Considering you have a tango clothing line, would it be an option to make your own clothes?
yes, I can make my own tango clothes if I need to. But I'm not a streetwear designer. It's like asking a sushi chef why she doesn't make her own pasta sauce instead of buying it in a jar :)
@@HannahLouisePoston what I meant was that in the video you said that you were searching the perfect basic cropped top and you love that it is clean, simple and basic. Your designs at Poema are much more elaborate so I thought it would be easier to design your own perfect cropped top lol. It would be like the sushi chef making a great pasta sauce on the weekend because he feels like it
i make a lot of my own clothes so that is why i am asking
You are cracking it!!! If I may take the liberty of saying so. X
my cat always chews the plants that my mum buys! does Sadie do that? haha. Really love buying items off Etsy because it feels great to use my money to get stuff I want and support people's creative dreams at same time
I got a bronzer and a blush because I had a bad day- and they were on sale-- formulas I love, though
Maybe it’s a “bromelia” that’s the name in Spanish I don’t know if that’s how you would call them in English !
Hey Hannah, as a fellow Cat owner, could you tell what plants you have in your studio? I am looking to buy some and for my apartment and I want them to be cat safe :)
Your two new ear piercings just reminded me of the 4 I am getting in June (yay holiday!).
If it makes you feel better I also used makeup as retail therapy this month. An apartment in my building caught fire (I was never in any danger of burning) at like 4am two sundays ago, my apartment filled with smoke and the cat and I ended up having to breathe out of a tiny window on the attic (smoke was getting in through both my balcony and my front door. Joy) for about 20 min until we got evacuated. So when I got home, instead of getting back into bed I cleaned my house like three times to try and get rid of the soot, thus slept... less than 5 h. So on Monday, sleep deprived, jumpy as you can imagine and dealing with the fun after effects of smoke inhalation I got on the Internet and got myself an eyeshadow palette. I can’t even bring myself to regret it tbh.
OMGEE! I am so glad you are OK and were never in danger of burning. Some stories in life you can't write! I LOVE that you can't bring yourself to regret buying the palette...rock on!
YIKES! I'm so glad you are okay!
I like the concept of Atitzia. I find it hard to find something for me because of the fact that most their tops are cropped and a lot of the blouses are 100% polyester which is not what I want for their prices. Your t shirt looks beautiful though!
I REALLY wish they would use less poly and more natural fibers.
This is my first video!!
Hannah, something I just got very curious about - do you have a budget for books?
books were included in my no-buy and I got in the habit of going to the library, so it's not really a problem anymore. I do buy books from time to time for my Kindle and I have an Audible membership, and those are not coming out of my budget (the Audible books are technically a work expense, and the Kindle books only ever add up to a couple of dollars a month). I read a lot of library books :)
Yup first video 😝
The Bobbi Brown crushed glosses leave a ring around the mouth as they fade, yes!!! So annoying
Sadie is such a good kitty with plants. Mine would have eaten the entire thing by now, root to stem.
hah! We get her wheatgrass to eat every couple of weeks and she seems satisfied with that. I hope that's okay? The internet says yes but I will await your website with bated breath. She does sometimes pretend she's going to chew on the elephant cactus but it's just for attention when she thinks we should be feeding her instead of watching TV.
How do you like your piercings? Do they hurt? I got my cartilage pierced twice well over 20 years ago and it still hurts if I wear them especially at night. But I love them LOL
it hurt but they're healing well!
*OMG! You poor thing! My skin hates all oils especially coconut oil I always get closed comedones from them!* also anything with rose oil/rose anything in it. I have a very hard time finding skin care
Hi lovely, I know this comment is ancient but I still had to ask... can you share if you've found any holy grails? Sounds like we've got similar skin types! Xxx
It's called Love Wave! The plant's name btw hahaha.. I have the same plants in my house :)
I just took a look at Aritzia's international site and god you have EXCELLENT taste. Not that I didn't realize that before, but this just confirms it. All of their pieces are absolutely gorgeous. If I had US salary tier money I'd probably buy half the store.
someday!
I'm confused. Are you returning the Cover FX drops? It sounds like you love them, but you mentioned the other item you are returning as you moved in to talking about them.
Also, I understand your disappointment in yourself but you shouldn't beat yourself up about the purchase. It's something to keep in your mind moving forward though... maybe it will help you keep yourself in check in the future.
P.S: The plants look nice :)
no, I am only returning the Bobbi Brown lipstick
Wait, it’s 330am in So Cal. I should be asleep but feel lazy doing so while you’re uploading videos lol.
don't worry, it was set to auto-post! I was fast asleep :)
Hannah Louise Poston phew! I thought I was being a slacker lol!
I too am a little unusual, bright, and big.
Your plants are beautiful. My cats eat up any plant. So I gave up..
Eva Rebella the only plant my cat isn’t interested in is my snake plant - probably because it’s too thick for chewing lol
You can spray them with Bitter Apple and kitty should leave your plants alone.
Eva Rebella saaaaame. Mine even gets into fights with my tiny cacti.
@@AwakingOceanborn hahaha 🤣
@@amandadavenport2020 I even have to put away the pineapple, when I get one, because she also chews on them..
First video!
What shades did you get for your cover fx shadows?
the link to the trio is in the description box
