- Come along with me to run a few errands and get GLAMOROUS at the hair salon. Listen, I'm not afraid to be out here and be seen trying 👍🏽 let me live out my vlogger fantasy life in peace 😅
My life RUNS off of checklists, and I wouldn't have it any other way 😂
We go thrifting, hit up the craft store while I try not to get distracted by its many fanciful wears and then spend some time in the salon trying to cover up my grey hairs. Will this be the last time I ever dye my hair? I've been going grey since I was 13 so maybe its time to accept my silver top destiny 🤔

I love this! More videos like this I'm living vicariously through you being productive 😭🤣🤣💕
dude this comment gave me so much motivation 😂👍🏽
Watching this while I clean my messy messy house post cosplay / sewing... you're giving me the motivation I needed!! Love your videos
my house is almost constantly in a state of being super messy 😂 I struggle to keep up with myself 😂
Bragg’s makes nutritional yeast! Harmons grocery carries it in their baking aisle. It’s used to replace Parmesan cheese most of the time :)
I have a Harmons in my area!! Thanks for the tip! Im using it for pizza dough, but maybe ill sprinkle some on top instead of parmesan!
I need to write lists . But when I do I leave them at home. I will be curious to see how your dye colours turn out.All in all looked liked you did it all. Congratulations to your stick to itness { think I made up a word}.
first of all, I love your made up word, and thank. you!!! I run my life off of lists! Usually just put them on my phone, but making a big one for the video seemed like fun! The dye totally worked out!! I can't wait to share the video!
Your videos are so cute.
I’m sure you’ve said it and I missed it buuuut how long have you been sewing? I’d love to hear the background.
Also, are you related to Technology Connections?
I like the idea of sharing a video about my background in sewing!! thanks for the suggestion! Ive been sewing for like 20 years 😂 I am not related to technology connections, I will have to check them out!
I'm sorry, but as someone who crochets and knows *exactly* how much effort, time, and yarn it takes to construct a blanket, hearing someone complain about a handmade item costing $13 is infuriating. If you were buying a blanket from someone making you one, it would, *minimum,* cost you $250. Blankets with the stitches like the ones here? Easily $300+.
Yeah, fine it's Goodwill or whatever other thrift store, so of course they're gonna insanely mark down, but $13 for a blanket?? That's criminally insane, and wouldn't even cover three skeins of yarn. (Average blankets need 6 or more. A queen one I made for a friend took 29 full skeins.)
I hear you, I do, and as somebody who also crochets, crafts, and takes on personalized commission work, I too know the time, money, effort, and skill that goes into hand made items. However, when somebody gets rid of their handmade items by donating them to a thrift store, and you go to buy them, you aren't buying the items from an individual craftsman anymore. The crochet blankets at this particular store used to be $6 and now they are more than double. These are items that people have throw out and cast aside and would otherwise sit in a landfill if they weren't purchased by thrifters.
Marking up donated items is what's criminal. There is a disgusting amount of surplus in this country and some of these blankets have been sitting on these racks for months and will likely end up in the trash if they are not purchased. 85% of the items we see in thrift stores get thrown out into a landfill. Giving life to somebody's trash is a beautiful practice, and allows these items a new chance at life they otherwise wouldn't have. So yes, I'm going to complain about the $13 blanket being too expensive.
@@AlexandriaLayne While I can agree that there is a disgusting amount of surplus in this country, (made worse by fast fashion places,) I don't understand why you feel the need to skew a statistic to try and make a point. I did some of my own research and it says that 84% of *clothing* in thrift stores can end up in landfills. This does not include things like blankets, tablecloths, doilies, etc. And also that only about twenty percent of what thrift stores are given actually make it out onto the shelves.
I'll also agree with giving life to someone else's "trash" is a terrific thing.
However, while you don't mention that you crochet, you obviously do other handmade work. And if you've ever had to price a piece for sale, I'm sure you'll have come across the "i cAn gEt iT cHeApEr aT wAl-mArT!" crowd, who devalue something just because they have no idea what goes into making it.
So perhaps you should join the people who are begging others to actually appreciate handmade items and value them at what they're worth, instead of complaining when a thrift store still charges less than Walmart for what in reality is a handmade blanket worth hundreds.
@@kateworkman921 😂😂 Got it champ 👍🏽We can agree to disagree, clearly we aren't going to see things eye to eye, and i'm at peace with that 😂
