Everything you said in today’s video was a much needed reminder today. Especially with the holidays quickly approaching and seeing ads and people….wishing and “wanting” the latest of whatever it might be. In the end, do all these “things” really matter? No. Time with loved ones, time with ourselves, experiences…those matter. I heard recently that in just 3 generations, you/we (the collective “you”) will be forgotten. It’s true. How many of us think of and remember our great-great grandparents on the regular? I’d wager to say, not many. The take away is exactly what you said. Live happy. Stop raving around trying to get the newest and greatest thing. If you are truly happy, that’s what matters most ❤ Much Love, Tasha ❤ (BTW- I LOVE the DIY on your walls! Looks great!) 🎄💖
Amen. That's exactly how I see it and that's why I only watch people like you.❤
What you said about life after the passing of someone you love was incredibly profound. It made me so emotional as I felt it with you and for myself. I held the hand of my Papa as he left this world a couple years ago now and I appreciate my family even more now. I made the decision years before to fully commit to raising my kids and be available for them when they are young and beyond and work “out of the home” when they need me less and I need them more. It’ll keep my mind busy from missing them. We all die as you said so just be the best person you can and strive for happiness is key. You have a beautiful life there and such a loving partnership with Michael that we can all model ours from. Thank you for all you do. You’re an inspiration in the most loving way.
You are 100% right about doing things that bring you joy but I would add to it one more thing. Living a life that gives back to others and helps you to be your very best self is really important too. You do that every day with your pooches; the love and care that you show them. Sometimes we just have to remember it's not about serving ourselves but serving others.
tasha!!! coming from someone who did stop using all social media for about a year, it was the best thing i ever did. being able to separate from the rampant toxic consumerism that’s taken over the internet has not only given me a self of calm, lessened my anxiety but has also given me my sense of self back. it’s also helped me to embrace living in the moment and to have a more positive outlook on every aspect of life. highly recommend! if you do choose to take a break just know i’ll still be here! have been for years and nothing can stop me from being a fan of yours ❤ time is transient and passes so quickly but personal connection stays
What you said about life being short and the idea of being content and expressing gratitude with your life resonates with me so much. I’ve been in such a rut in life and it’s been so tough. But you saying that really clicked and I just wanna say thank you .
i think i rewatched the pups going up and down the ramp 5 times. this is soft living inspo and i'm here for it!
Your words at the beginning of the video were absolutely beautiful and true. My eyes filled with tears listening to you speak about your papa’s house and how you looked at a his shed and missed him. I hope that the property stays in your family so that future generations can continue to share the story of your great grandparents legacy.
As you were talking in the beginning, I was finding myself nodding and agreeing with you all the way. I was told once “we are ALL born to die”. This person was so right, why had I never thought of it that way, I know we eventually all leave this world but how he said it made a difference to me. We can’t take it with us, be happy with what you have and what you do, is what he was saying and like you said, we only live this once, no second chance. I loved seeing you and your grandmother doing the puzzle, may I make a suggestion…. take the puzzle and put puzzle glue on it and frame it. Give it to her for Christmas. After she receives it both of you sign it and it would be a wonderful memory for you after she goes to your granddad. The room is coming along great by the way. I also loved hearing the dogs great Michael when he came home!
Love that you’ll do all the walls with the molding! So pretty. And I say raise the curtain rod with your new curtains, in between the top ceiling molding and the new molding. Also, keep connected to joy and purpose. Love these deeper thoughts. Xo from California
Tasha you have hit the nail on the head for how what I've been dealing with death. I once heard a quote is that all of our belonging when we pass will be put into a thrift store or given away. my grandma is going to a nursing home and its so hard to get caught up in the I need to take this or I need to hold on to this.
know your not alone in that the heart to heart really made me think I wasn't alone ❤❤
I love your thoughts about life and social media. 💕
Thank you for that lil heart to heart. It really hit home!🩷
YES! The walls look awesome and I think your plan is perfection. And I love the pink hair! Good advice to all of us about what we focus on minute by minute. I needed a reminder of that.
"Too many people spend money they haven't earned, to buy things they don't want, to impress people that they don't like." ~~ Will Rogers its pretty timeless, yes? ♥
I dream of owning my own home and ideally I want an Article sofa in my living room 😂 so yea, you have things I want! And you got those gifted which is really fortunate and lucky. Personally I’m not on tiktok much, mainly Instagram. It’s a real struggle to not compare your life to others. Often I think about all of the fast fashion, fast furniture, anything that goes unsold ending up in landfills and it causes me a lot of anxiety and sadness for the earth. Not over consuming is the best thing you can do for the planet.
My Grandma pasted away last year and since then, I've had the exact same thoughts. The over consumption, the fragility of our lives, and the made up systems we participate in. It all feels so big and small at the same time.
Girl, everything you said, there in front of your couch, those thoughts about what’s important and what absolutely isn’t…same! I have actually deleted my social media accounts several times, back and forth I go on the pros or cons of it all 🙄. And you’re right! There are those lovely people out there that I love watch or listen to (you being one❤) and I’m inspired or my heart feels fuller after. But I have to admit, I spend way too much time scrolling through useless, mind numbing garbage to find those gems.
Now, instead of deactivating my pages every other month, lol, I take breaks. I’ll put my phone away, mute all notifications or just turn it off for a few days. It helps.
I’m 60 so I can remember what it was like before facebook or even MySpace, lol, was even considered anything that was ever possible and I have to say, life was simpler. Things moved at a more mellow pace and there wasn’t an overwhelming need to compete with everyone else or keep up with the trends, etc. Well, in high school but that’s just typical teen behavior, I think 😉.
And being this age definitely doesn’t mean you have all the answers. We’re all at our own stage in our learning, or evolution, awakening…whatever you want to call it. I will say this, though, being in nature, being creative and quietly sitting or meditating really brings me back to the knowledge of what matters. Sitting in the sun fills my soul. Swimming in the sea…bliss. Painting-a wall, a canvas, a door-puts me in the moment and calms my mind.
I see you loving your dogs and the hours of energy you put into caring for them. I’ve watched you create a sweet, beautiful home for your family in your own cool style. You are a beautiful person with a kind soul and that’s why I’m here.
Have you influenced me? Yes! In positive ways? Yup! Do I rock my Tasha tee with good vibes…in comfort, no less? I do! Did I neeeeed to buy another tee shirt? Um, no. But as I maneuver my way into a more minimalistic lifestyle (to make for a peaceful life) , I buy things I love and donate the rest.
Not sure why I felt I needed to tell this all to you. I’m still learning how life works just like everyone else so I’m going with my intuition and leaving my thoughts here.
Wishing you and yours a joyful, peaceful Christmas full of love. 🧡🤎🩷
“scrolling mind-numbing garbage to find those gems” girrrrrrl, hit the nail in the HEAD. to be honest i muted everyone on instagram (as i cared too much about hurting feelings to unfollow) and now i only see content from a few creators i looooove and friends/acquaintances who bring a smile to my face. it has definitely helped. i loved reading what brings you joy, i’m on the search everyday for this pure bliss kind of lifestyle. i suffer from so much anxiety, i have a lot to work on, but i’m getting there. thank you for watching and being a friend. ❤️
I remember my dad and I stumble across a quote and it says “what is yours today is someone else’s tomorrow” and it resonates sooo much. I will be the first to admit I own designer bags and expensive items and they never see the light of day or used to its full potential bc I’m so scared of it being broken or scratched or beat up and then these things just sit there, unused and I find myself asking what was the point of purchasing them if I’m too scared to enjoy it? So instead of maybe putting value on things and stuff maybe we need to ask ourselves what can we leave on this earth that adds some value to someone’s life or community.
Your DIYs are immaculate 😍
Such a good reminder…thank you Tasha! 💕
I have entertained the idea of giving up my 'smart phone' and getting one that I am only capable of calling/texting. I spend so much time watching what other people are doing that I am letting my own life.pass me by.
“letting my own life pass me by” was a really nice way to put it, it resonated with me. i do believe the inspirational aspect of social is so beautiful, but it comes with so much negative too. i think it’s up to us to put up some barriers to protect ourselves. ❤️
You’re definitely right about TikTok. I actually deleted TikTok in 2020 and I haven’t had it since and you really come to realize how much people are consumed with it. People always ask me like “omg you don’t have TikTok? What do you do with your time?” And the answer is actually a lot lol. I’m only 20 but it’s really odd because I honestly am like left out of a lot in a way? There are a lot of slang words people say, things people are buying, memes/trends a lot of people know about and I’m always like “um I have no clue what you’re talking about 😅” but TikTok was so stressful to me and gave me A LOT of anxiety. I definitely became a lot happier and calmer once I deleted it and I’ll never have it again and I always encourage everyone to delete it. I’ll literally challenge some of my friends to stay off of it for a full 3 hours and they can’t ever do it 😅
Tasha, what you said so beautifully seemed to align with something The Vlasta (TikTok) recently posted about the process of living a good life and preparing well for our death, as well as how to process the deaths of our loved ones. Anyway- it’s all on my mind right now. Also, I love the wall molding and want to do the same. Glad you’re adding it on the other walls, soon. Are you thinking lined cotton velveteen drapes? That’d look so luxurious without being over the top. Thanks for participating in Vlogmas- I love your content so much. Sending you giant hugs! ❤
"It's all still here and he's not" heartbreaking realization 💔
Facing death helps us realize how precious life is... and it does feel like we are in constant competition with each other...
Do you think you'll take the house once your grandma passes ? That would be a beautiful tribute to them I think..
The moulding looks 👌🏻👌🏻
unfortunately the house will need to be sold and the money will go to my uncle who dedicated most of his life to caring for them. it will sell for a lot because it’s a large property in a very desirable neighborhood. it’s not an amount of $ i would be comfortable spending on a house.
@@TashaLeelyn that makes sense but it would be so special to live in our grandparents house ❤️

totally agree, financially it’s just not going to be possible. the most important thing is that my uncle will be taken care of ❤️
Your bedroom walls look beautiful! Great job!
Very deep, very wise!❤
Very well said 🥰🥰🥰
Their life was before social media , look how much everything in our world changed, the good and the bad ♥️🇨🇦
Good morning hunny
Beautiful
Hi
🤍
I’ve noticed that the more time I spend *offline*, the more content I am with what I already have.
All of our possessions are just ‘borrowed’ - we can’t take them with us! Capitalism ensures the system of mass consumption thrives, we keep earning so we can spend it. I’ve had to empty quite a few homes of my loved ones already in my life - it’s SO upsetting donating/ selling their precious possessions (I keep the most sentimental things but don’t have space to ‘save’ everything! 💔) - this is dark but sometimes if I’m influenced to buy new trendy stuff, I imagine that stuff being donated (esp after I’ve gone🪦) it REALLY stops me from buying things I don’t actually want and makes me reset + enjoy the fact I’m still living!! Much love ♥️♥️♥️
As dumb as it is... YOLO was onto something. The older I get, the more appreciate it all. Nothing else is gonna matter except for how we spent our time with our loved ones.
