Thank you so much for your honesty and transparency! It feels cruel to say, but it's nice to see a real person talk about the things they struggle with. It's relatable in a way that having the same makeup item, or following a tutorial along with them isn't. Despite all the chaos in the world right now, I hope that March is a better month for you and your budget! ❤️❤️
I can tell in this video that you are emotionally drained. Please be kind to yourself. Like you said, you love & will use each item you bought & that's what's important. You're thinking through each purchase & not buying things that aren't perfect for your life. You haven't went over your budget so no need for disappointment. I'm excited to see how the next few months play out with your project & I hope you get to feeling better emotionally. You got this girl🤗
The win you need to remember is your awareness now when you buy. As long as you are thinking it through and love/use what you got there's no need to be so tough on yourself.
I struggled hard with the beginning of my mid-30s. Hard. Jean-Paul Sartre hard. Franz Kafka HARD. The existential struggle about being on the right path (lawyer) versus the alternative path (writer/painter). The existential choice not to have children. Settling into marriage (5-7 years). I am only now unpacking in therapy how much I struggled. And I used whatever I could (work, sugar, exercise, yoga, shopping, etc) to not sit with it. And when I did, it was generally in pieces of writing or painting that left me feeling wrecked. I don't think this mid-30s existential crisis is a topic discussed widely because a lot of people I know have small children in their mid-thirties and are just trying to get through the day of navigating work + toddlers. So bless them, but they are no help. And then others may have greater certainty about their path or don't have a secret creative life that is the source of joy and passion but also intense psychic doubt and hard life choices. So I see you and your track suit. I have some really nice Prada shoes and designer dresses and a HORSE (an actual animal) from that time. None of which I regret except for their financial impact. All of this is to say, you are not alone. It IS hard. You are smart to have the ANNUAL budget. And as you get into your late thirties and forties, it ABSOLUTELY gets better. Therapy helps, but it also just gets better, and that seems to be the case for every single one of my friends who went through the same thing. PS: You made great choices in items and I think your focus on comfort is telling you something big.
Oh my God, your comment resonated so much with me, I almost burst into tears. Also in my early 30s, finally (almost) being a therapist (🤣), debating with myself if this is what I wanted to do if I could start over and struggling with the question whether or not to have children.
I can feel your emotional exhaustion. I think of how I would feel after this and then how much more it would be amplified if I had to report to thousands of people. I think the individual items are great choices, if only the opportunity to acquire each one was spaced out more. That’s not always how life works though. Just think how lucky you were to have the cash reserves to acquire them when they presented themselves and adjust your plan. Maybe you will find that you settle in to a pattern if not shopping most months and then doing 2-4 big seasonal spends as the years roll on.
You bought some truly beautiful things in Feb. I live in So AZ, which is similar in climate to LA, so what is nice about things like sweatshirts, track suits, and jackets, is that they will go through a “dormant” period in the Summer. Then next Fall, they will be “new” again. Just remember how much joy they will bring you when that time comes. Thank you for bringing us on your candid journey. Much love.
Thank you for being so open with your process. I am not a makeup/clothes person, but I am on a no buy/low spend year and your channel has been very helpful. I especially appreciate your closing each video. It’s a lovely reminder to take care. 💜
The sirens are an excellent urban ambient noise that remind me of lovely downtown city work trips. I actually have a sleep sound mix that is a bit like your background. So I enjoy the cityscape sounds. And I am excited for whatever flow state feels good to Hannah content comes up this month.
I love all the beautiful items you purchased and respect your choices! I have many thoughts about where you are at and none of them negative. I may come back and comment more. However, know that you are respected, appreciated and many of your audience are grateful for you offering us your vulnerability. Sunday Hugs XO
Love all your purchases Hannah! Those rusty orange pants and Disneyland jumper particularly!!! Enjoy them and feel all the feels but try to take guilt out of the equation you have done nothing wrong!
Remember to be kind to yourself, Hannah. There's nothing wrong with buying things you like. One of the things that Imani always tells me about budgeting is that if you "break" the budget, then it wasn't a realistic budget to begin with. I know that's a little counter to what you're trying to do here, but I always try to keep that in mind when I'm feeling mad at myself for overspending. Also remember that you're trying to change habits. That's a Herculean task on its own. And then to attempt it when you're Going Through It is even worse. You're trying to wrangle your brain when it's already busy trying to just keep up with whatever you've got going on inside of you. You did the best you could with the tools you had, and that is ALL you can ask of yourself. I'm proud of you, Hannah. Seriously. Remember to take extra good care of YOURself.
Thanks for the check in and this video-I’m sure they weren’t easy to make, but they have helped me understand some things about myself and how I’ve been doing the past few months as well-I’m NOT ready to moderate! Even on replacements only no buy for myself... I need constraints on what I buy for my children!
I have been stupid over those exact earrings for like weeks now. I want them so much!!!! They look great on you. As for the spending, it’s been a month. You live and you learn. You are doing ok. I don’t think your fans expect prefection in this regard, especially with the stuff you have going on. It’s ok to do ok. So long as you are trying, you are in a better place then you were 2 years ago.
That Bioderma body wash saved my skin. I hate the feeling of lotion and that shower oil is my favorite. And you’re right about the French pharmacy feel making seem luxe. The best part - is the $20 bottle has lasted me almost a year.
Chin up, Hannah. I think you made some fantastic purchases. As long as you’re happy and don’t get that sinking feeling, you’re killing it. You’ve put the parameters in place and shown yourself through two strict tests that you.can.do.it. ❤️ And remember, Tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it. You and Joe are in my thoughts in regards to your business. Stay strong! Much love!
Thank you so much for making videos for us, especially the last two which have so much depth, compassion, and joy with some lighthearted fare mixed in that we could all use right now! I am coping with the stress of the world's uncertainty by watching your videos and Pose on Netflix! And your look--wow--how glamorous you are!
You look so chic today just gorgeous! And girl thank you for being real with us! And know that this is a good process for you this year and you are really enjoying the items you got so give yourself grace. Big virtual hug thank you for your content :)
Hi Hannah, thanks for this video. It's clear it took a lot of courage for you to bare yourself like this on the internet. I was wondering if you have any brand recommendations for pants. It seems like we have a similar body type and I've nearly given up on trying to find pants that fit me properly. Forgive me if you mentioned it in the video, I'm commenting before finishing it.
Hey Hannah. I wanted to say that though I haven’t commented in the last few videos I have been watching them. I am so emotionally and physically fatigued that I’m just using your wonderful content as a great escape. It’s one of the “treat myself” things on my list - a mindless UA-cam binge. I normally watch/listen to UA-cam while working so it’s nice to just purely enjoy YT and especially the amazing videos you make. February was a successful no buy month for me. And I’ve been holding back from buying in March. But I know April will be a huge replacement month for me because I have a dozen empties already. I’m so excited to hear about the beauty you’ve allowed in your life. Thanks for sharing ☺️ Edited to add: I am tracking my purchases much more in depth this year so I can make some IG posts with numbers, ranking, etc.. a silver lining of not buying is not having to record the purchases and details and such.
I love your messy buns!!! So much!! Could you do a tutorial on how you do them? I’m trying to branch out a bit with my hair & love the really voluminous look, but I’m so terrible at doing anything to my hair, so I’d love a tutorial if you have time!! :-)
All the things you bought are beautiful. But that is misleading because you have amazing taste so I would expect that everything you buy would be just gorgeous. This video spoke to me, cause I also felt the need to buy something like silky pijamas but then when I see that I am overspending I need to bring back the question before I buy”how much I need this?”’. I learned with you that beautiful things should not be the only reason we chose things but also how much we need those. This question stops me from buying lots of things, specially luxury and helps to keep my moderation. Of course if we had unlimited budget and space we could buy as many beautiful things as we could and probably would not regret it, but of couse is not always about regret having it is regretting that we could not hold ourselves in a moderate state. But yea one step at time :) I am happy that you shared this with us!
Love you so much girl! You look amazing and I know you're going to enjoy all your lovely things. I hope you're starting to feel better inside and that we can all pull through this dark time together. 💖💖💖
I use the same shower oil, one of the ways I've gotten a little more joy out of it is by decanting some into a nice pump bottle in my shower and adding a different perfume sample vial each time for variety. Maybe it's because it's something I've repurchased for years, but I got bored of the mild smell after a while!
I have lost 5 hours of my life to '80 days' today Ms Poston!🤣 I'm certain that i'm a less than ideal Passepartout but Fogg will just have to deal with it😉 P.s. You look GORGEOUS!
@@garza2margarita Great! It's exactly as Hannah described. Like reading a novel in which you can also choose parts of the narrative yourself. You are Passpartout, valet to Phileas Fogg, and you set off to accompany him during his attempt to circumnavigate the globe in 80 days. You choose which routes you wish to take and which items you wish to pack, buying and selling items for profit in different cities along the way. Some items also aid your passage with cheaper tickets, quicker departures etc. It's relaxing and fun and right up my street. If i hadn't promised my hubby that we'd watch a movie together, i'd be playing it right now!😆
@@HannahLouisePoston Indeed!😍 We have just left Kabul after selling a very fine rug for a bucketful of cash💰Please do wave if you see us on your travels. Must go now, Mr Fogg needs a soothing cup of tea after his trying day (of carrying none of the suitcases) and he need all his collars starched by morning!
Sending you a big virtual hug. I have the feeling that this project, maybe more than either of the others, will make better sense once you're at the end of it, looking back. Because the full effects of this kind of looser, longer-term budget and the behavioural patterns it elicits can only be revealed over the course of that broader time span. It must be tough to be battling external as well as internal pressures relating to spending whilst trying to figure out how to be in this project and wrangle all of the other life stuff that never stops coming in over our heads. I trust you and believe in you.
Hannah, you are my absolute favourite youtuber. I love the way you think and you definitely help me to reflect myself. I hope you continue to have fun with your channel and don't take it too seriously and don't let the negative comments get to you. No matter what you do - ill be here to support. Just wanted to say that, because i have the feeling, you don't enjoy making videos as much as you did a few months ago. Lots of Love from Germany
I’m not a huge Disney fan but I do understand the whole fandom merch desire. My issue is with Nintendo however. I recently went to the Nintendo store in NYC and bought a gray slightly over sized jumper and I love it!! I lived in it every cold day I could. It will be with me for years.
I know you're not at this place yet, so be kind and take your time, BUT... I think your next hurdle is realizing that things that may be PERFECT for you may not be perfect for your budget. Does that make sense? I could surround myself with beautiful things that are "worth it" because I would wear the hell out of them, but they're still not worth it. Even a relatively inexpensive leather jacket that you wear every week may not actually be worth it, which I know seems crazy now but it will make sense in time. I love watching you because our journeys are so similar.
Hannah, I say this with all due respect, you owe us nothing in terms of your budget. You are a mature adult who can make her own decisions and live with the consequences. We are not your mom or the shopping police, yes this puts you in a bit if a bind, but that is part of your journey with shopping. That was super sweet of Julia to buy you the jacket, you look lovely in the outfit
I would love to see some sort of video amalgamation of your "doing the most" successes! One way I am trying to find the silver lining during social distancing is going all out with my makeup everyday. If it looks way over the top nobody is going to see it anyway. Also I have found that I touch my face less/am more aware of when I do touch my face when I wear bold lipstick. I have been appreciating my collection with newfound zest. Since I have wiggle room in my finances I have been allowing myself to spend more with small and or local businesses. Controlling my shopping is an area of my life that I can let fall by the wayside in hard times, whereas I still need to focus on eating and activity (even though it's really hard without access to the gym) or I will just fall apart. Everything you bought looks beautiful and I'm excited to see you enjoy and use and evaluate the purchases as the months go on. Maybe you will do another ranking video at the six month mark (?!) that would be neat.
I think you're doing the best you can and that's all any of us can expect from ourselves. The headbands are adorable!! And super interested in the bodywash... sounds amazing...I hate using body lotion besides on my hands and arms...would be nice to have a body wash that eliminates the need for it.
It's okay Hannah - you have been using most of what you bought, as you say it's just a bit alarming all at once. I personally spent more this month, and it was on stuff that I have been using. The main thing is that you are more aware of the value of money and that you have spent a lot more than usual. Do you divide your annual budget into months, eg you have a average budget of .... each month? I couldn't imagine trying to deal with an annual budget without breaking it down a little
I think you are doing well. You did not go over your budget and you made good choices that will enhance or enrich your life for a long time going forward so, that is all that matters. Be good to yourself :)
Honestly I think that this year it going to be a very big year about learning things about yourself but you shouldn’t be too hard on yourself and maybe even have a look it when you’re six months in and see where you’re going wrong and why are you going right
I love the sound of that Bioderma shower oil, but after looking at the ingredients it does look like it's made from palm oil, which I try to stay away from for environmental/ethical reasons. I'm definitely going to be on the hunt for something similar though! Thank you! Wishing you the best always, Hannah. 💜💙💚
I bought these earrings because I adored them from the beginning. They are perfect. Your words,your content really makes my days which are hard because my daughter's father left us. But watching you really brings me joy and some time off from everything sad happening. Take care
I love the bioderma atoderm gel, that line of skincare products was a recommendation by my dermatologist! I have super sensitive dry skin and I stuggle with eczema and this is basically the only body wash which doesn't irritate my skin. I also use the atoderm lotion and it's super hidrating. Also I wanted to tell you I bought the marula oil from the ordinary thanks to you're recommendation, I am currently waiting for it to arrive. Can't wait to try it! 😘
I love Disneyland especially Disneyland in Tokyo or Paris! I am sure you'd love both parks. I liked your jumper. Very cute and Ariana Grande. Don't be so tough on yourself, you are doing great. I think it's time for you to look over your new things and maybe give some away to charity, if you are feeling guilty for spending too much (idea - you don't have to). Kisses from Norway xxx
How to feel good during dark times - watch HLP 💘 You look stunning! Please take care of yourself you sweet soul! I dont want to see any more guilt about being a human being. You are doing so well! Good for you, that you made great purchases that you love 😁
That leather jacket, the two pairs of pants and the tracksuit are fucking bomb and look amazing on you! I know it might feel unnatural to think of it this way now (and there’s a chance this mode of thought might be a little delusional lol) but perhaps you’re lucky that events unfolded as they did - if you picture alternative timeline Hannah who is still well within her “monthly budget”, she would be far more prone to whittling away her yearly budget on smaller, less special and non-essential items (e.g. more of the cream blush type purchases) leaving her unable to crystallise her budget into purchasing such few nice things by the end of the year. Maybe it really couldn’t have gone down any other way if you wanted your yearly purchases to end up with the sort of shape they’ve acquired in January and February? In any event, it is all still entirely within your power to make these purchases stand as great decisions by doing the hard legwork for the rest of the year to ensure you come in under your budget. I’m confident you’ll manage to kill it as usual ❤️
I totally know what you are saying, I too am curious as to whether this type of all-at-once spending might actually serve me better in the long run. It just depends on being able to stop completely for the months that follow :)
Hannah, that pajama set is 59% rayon, tho 🤔 Did you know that when you bought them? I’m glad you love them, but that is a pretty hefty price tag for what essentially amounts to a poly blend.
yes, I did! bit I keep forgetting because it feels so much like 100% silk. I'm actually hoping it will stay in better shape over time because of the fabric combo.
Have you tried anything from the brand Ilia? I would love a review from you and maybe that is a purchase you could make for your channel. Also love you to death you are such an inspiration.
I’m no mathematician but If the leather jacket was $125 and the pants were $50 each, wouldn’t that make it $225 ,not $175? No judgement here, it’s none of our business if you spent $1750 🙃
Love that tracksuit! I could def imagine how difficult it would be to say “no” to that especially under the circumstances with your friend. I’ve really been down with hair accessories lately. Since my hair is a longer length I want to take advantage of it before I end up getting it chopped off again;) I just purchased the Bioderma Shower Oil as well but haven’t had a chance to use it yet. Bath and body products are one of my downfalls in terms of purchasing too much when I already have enough. I need to start checking myself with that. I’ve been using bar shampoos for many years and lately have been flirting with the idea of trying a more “traditional” shampoo. The R&CO Cactus has actually been one that I’ve been eyeing. I’ll have to check out the sizes. It would be great if I could try a travel size. I honestly don’t know how my hair would react to a more traditional shampoo. I’m going to stick with my bars but want to, I suppose, dip my toes in something new (actually old, lol). Thanks for sharing, chickadee🍃🌸
I wish I was more like you on buying clothing items you really think about what you purchase me when it’s time to replace I just go on the weekend to the mall and I have a list and since I am short I need to try them on and I normally shop twice a year for clothes Do not be hard on yourself if you take care of your items then they will last you a long time I would like to send you a card only if I can
Wow three sets of sirens. To date I’ve still never seen a video since you moved to the loft with no sirens. That seems crazy to me. Are you next to a hospital or nursing home? Or maybe your neighbors have just been unlucky lately. 🚑🚒🚐
Thank you so much for your honesty and transparency!
It feels cruel to say, but it's nice to see a real person talk about the things they struggle with. It's relatable in a way that having the same makeup item, or following a tutorial along with them isn't.
Despite all the chaos in the world right now, I hope that March is a better month for you and your budget! ❤️❤️
thank you, I appreciate this
I’m so into this look with the messy bun/statement earrings/exposes shoulder. So chic.
I really like this rented top, way more than I expected to. Maybe I'll buy it in August, LOL :)
It makes me sad how pained you seemed about this. Remember to be kind to yourself 🥰
I can tell in this video that you are emotionally drained. Please be kind to yourself. Like you said, you love & will use each item you bought & that's what's important.

Something about this whole eyeshadow, fringe, headband, earrings look is giving me Daisy Buchanan vibes.

Jordan Pilant i think she already did a video on it. Im sure you can find it, just search up Hannah Louise Poston messy bun and it should pop up.
@@catrice1296 Oh oops! Thank you!!!
yes, my hair was longer then but it's the same idea! The bun in this video had a big butterfly clip hidden inside it :)

So many beautiful and delightful things! Enjoy them 👸

I feel you sister! So many beautiful things are in the world. It's hard
So happy the pants reached you! :D

Thank you for the honest video! You have such good taste in clothing so I enjoyed seeing all of your purchases this month
I don’t think I’ve ever been so intrigued or excited to watch a haul video 👀
I've really enjoyed seeing your fashion sense in your videos this year 😀
I have lost 5 hours of my life to '80 days' today Ms Poston!🤣 I'm certain that i'm a less than ideal Passepartout but Fogg will just have to deal with it😉
P.s. You look GORGEOUS!
Lol how is the game going? Im curious about it! 😄😅
@@garza2margarita Great! It's exactly as Hannah described. Like reading a novel in which you can also choose parts of the narrative yourself. You are Passpartout, valet to Phileas Fogg, and you set off to accompany him during his attempt to circumnavigate the globe in 80 days. You choose which routes you wish to take and which items you wish to pack, buying and selling items for profit in different cities along the way. Some items also aid your passage with cheaper tickets, quicker departures etc. It's relaxing and fun and right up my street. If i hadn't promised my hubby that we'd watch a movie together, i'd be playing it right now!😆
I have been playing too, last night and this morning! we probably passed each other on the map :)
@@HannahLouisePoston Indeed!😍 We have just left Kabul after selling a very fine rug for a bucketful of cash💰Please do wave if you see us on your travels. Must go now, Mr Fogg needs a soothing cup of tea after his trying day (of carrying none of the suitcases) and he need all his collars starched by morning!
I am happy with the distraction. Always like to see what you get, it's always so personal.
The headband is precious! 😊
Those headbands are a triumph! 😍🎉
Sending you a big virtual hug. I have the feeling that this project, maybe more than either of the others, will make better sense once you're at the end of it, looking back. Because the full effects of this kind of looser, longer-term budget and the behavioural patterns it elicits can only be revealed over the course of that broader time span. It must be tough to be battling external as well as internal pressures relating to spending whilst trying to figure out how to be in this project and wrangle all of the other life stuff that never stops coming in over our heads. I trust you and believe in you.
Oh the velvet headband...my heart dropped! They don’t have the velvet ones online! 😍
Hannah, you are my absolute favourite youtuber. I love the way you think and you definitely help me to reflect myself. I hope you continue to have fun with your channel and don't take it too seriously and don't let the negative comments get to you. No matter what you do - ill be here to support. Just wanted to say that, because i have the feeling, you don't enjoy making videos as much as you did a few months ago. Lots of Love from Germany
Also I love that mustard yellow headband!! 😍 so cute.
I’m not a huge Disney fan but I do understand the whole fandom merch desire. My issue is with Nintendo however. I recently went to the Nintendo store in NYC and bought a gray slightly over sized jumper and I love it!! I lived in it every cold day I could. It will be with me for years.
LOVE the top!!!! So glad Joe bought you those earrings! 💕
That tracksuit is EVERYTHING! Happy birthday you! I love the sirens, they add an edge to your videos :P
Living for the exposed shoulder, headband & chunky earring
I know you're not at this place yet, so be kind and take your time, BUT... I think your next hurdle is realizing that things that may be PERFECT for you may not be perfect for your budget. Does that make sense? I could surround myself with beautiful things that are "worth it" because I would wear the hell out of them, but they're still not worth it. Even a relatively inexpensive leather jacket that you wear every week may not actually be worth it, which I know seems crazy now but it will make sense in time. I love watching you because our journeys are so similar.
That tracksuit was a good decision it is awsome!
😍 your earrings, OMG! They’re so gorgeous!!!
I feel like silk pyjamas would be amazing, I have been adoring my silk pillowcases & I feel like I sleep so much better on them.
Hannah, I say this with all due respect, you owe us nothing in terms of your budget. You are a mature adult who can make her own decisions and live with the consequences. We are not your mom or the shopping police, yes this puts you in a bit if a bind, but that is part of your journey with shopping. That was super sweet of Julia to buy you the jacket, you look lovely in the outfit
Those headbands are stunning!
I would love to see some sort of video amalgamation of your "doing the most" successes! One way I am trying to find the silver lining during social distancing is going all out with my makeup everyday. If it looks way over the top nobody is going to see it anyway. Also I have found that I touch my face less/am more aware of when I do touch my face when I wear bold lipstick. I have been appreciating my collection with newfound zest. Since I have wiggle room in my finances I have been allowing myself to spend more with small and or local businesses. Controlling my shopping is an area of my life that I can let fall by the wayside in hard times, whereas I still need to focus on eating and activity (even though it's really hard without access to the gym) or I will just fall apart. Everything you bought looks beautiful and I'm excited to see you enjoy and use and evaluate the purchases as the months go on. Maybe you will do another ranking video at the six month mark (?!) that would be neat.
(If you can remember) what is on your cheeks giving that lovely glow!! CT highlight wand? Looks amazing
The super short bangs look great with your hair up in the high bun.
In a way I wish I could be this spendy ... but I have to hold myself back ! Love your pieces. ❤️✨ the pants ... want them all !
The headbands are so cute! I love the colors you chose 😊
I absolutely love the headbands and the tracksuit!
I was so excited to see this video upload, I love watching you :)
Yay!!! I was going back and rewatching your no buy year waiting for this to post lol
I think you're doing the best you can and that's all any of us can expect from ourselves. The headbands are adorable!! And super interested in the bodywash... sounds amazing...I hate using body lotion besides on my hands and arms...would be nice to have a body wash that eliminates the need for it.
I have the same problem i can months and not buy 1 thing then in 1 week i will find 7 items i love and can't live with out!
It's okay Hannah - you have been using most of what you bought, as you say it's just a bit alarming all at once. I personally spent more this month, and it was on stuff that I have been using. The main thing is that you are more aware of the value of money and that you have spent a lot more than usual.
Do you divide your annual budget into months, eg you have a average budget of .... each month? I couldn't imagine trying to deal with an annual budget without breaking it down a little
I think you are doing well. You did not go over your budget and you made good choices that will enhance or enrich your life for a long time going forward so, that is all that matters. Be good to yourself :)
Your earrings are so cute!
It would be fun to see you review the new Patrick Ta eyebrow product
Honestly I think that this year it going to be a very big year about learning things about yourself but you shouldn’t be too hard on yourself and maybe even have a look it when you’re six months in and see where you’re going wrong and why are you going right
Have you ever thought about bullet journaling? I'd like to see your take on it :)
You look great. The top is cute and the combination with the eye look as well.
Those headbands are amazing. I would have bought every single one!
I love the sound of that Bioderma shower oil, but after looking at the ingredients it does look like it's made from palm oil, which I try to stay away from for environmental/ethical reasons. I'm definitely going to be on the hunt for something similar though! Thank you! Wishing you the best always, Hannah. 💜💙💚
Been waiting for this one. I’m a little anxious for it tbh after your check in. 😬
Happy birthday! I am not belated...I am keeping the party going! 🍾🥂🎂💃💝
The headbands are adorable on you 😍😍😍
Hi, can you please let me know what font have you used on your video thumbnail? 🙏🏻
I bought these earrings because I adored them from the beginning. They are perfect. Your words,your content really makes my days which are hard because my daughter's father left us. But watching you really brings me joy and some time off from everything sad happening. Take care
sending you a huge hug and so much love
@@HannahLouisePoston Thank you,Hannah
I love the bioderma atoderm gel, that line of skincare products was a recommendation by my dermatologist! I have super sensitive dry skin and I stuggle with eczema and this is basically the only body wash which doesn't irritate my skin. I also use the atoderm lotion and it's super hidrating. Also I wanted to tell you I bought the marula oil from the ordinary thanks to you're recommendation, I am currently waiting for it to arrive. Can't wait to try it! 😘
I LOVE the oil. I might try the gel next just for variety :)
@@HannahLouisePoston I'll have to try the oil :)
I love Disneyland especially Disneyland in Tokyo or Paris! I am sure you'd love both parks. I liked your jumper. Very cute and Ariana Grande. Don't be so tough on yourself, you are doing great. I think it's time for you to look over your new things and maybe give some away to charity, if you are feeling guilty for spending too much (idea - you don't have to). Kisses from Norway xxx
Oh my, how beautiful you look, girl! Stunning!
(ok, back to the video, I just had to express my emotions ;) )
How to feel good during dark times - watch HLP 💘
You look stunning! Please take care of yourself you sweet soul! I dont want to see any more guilt about being a human being. You are doing so well! Good for you, that you made great purchases that you love 😁
Everything you bought is so ... you. ❤️
Nice earrings!
That leather jacket, the two pairs of pants and the tracksuit are fucking bomb and look amazing on you! I know it might feel unnatural to think of it this way now (and there’s a chance this mode of thought might be a little delusional lol) but perhaps you’re lucky that events unfolded as they did - if you picture alternative timeline Hannah who is still well within her “monthly budget”, she would be far more prone to whittling away her yearly budget on smaller, less special and non-essential items (e.g. more of the cream blush type purchases) leaving her unable to crystallise her budget into purchasing such few nice things by the end of the year. Maybe it really couldn’t have gone down any other way if you wanted your yearly purchases to end up with the sort of shape they’ve acquired in January and February?
In any event, it is all still entirely within your power to make these purchases stand as great decisions by doing the hard legwork for the rest of the year to ensure you come in under your budget. I’m confident you’ll manage to kill it as usual ❤️
I totally know what you are saying, I too am curious as to whether this type of all-at-once spending might actually serve me better in the long run. It just depends on being able to stop completely for the months that follow :)
You look stunning and the items you got are beautiful
Hannah, that pajama set is 59% rayon, tho 🤔 Did you know that when you bought them? I’m glad you love them, but that is a pretty hefty price tag for what essentially amounts to a poly blend.
Rayon is a natural fiber mechanically made from wood pulp.
yes, I did! bit I keep forgetting because it feels so much like 100% silk. I'm actually hoping it will stay in better shape over time because of the fabric combo.
Amy Dement I did NOT know that. Thanks for the info!
Have you tried anything from the brand Ilia? I would love a review from you and maybe that is a purchase you could make for your channel. Also love you to death you are such an inspiration.
never tried them! I'll keep it in mind!
Do you mean Iilah?
topstarxx I just looked on Sephora and it is spelled i L i a
@@emily57644 ah! 🙂
Did you decide to keep those earrings or did you rerent them? They look so nice on you.
They were a present from Joe, she said in earlier video. He remembered how she loved them and got them for her birthday. Super sweet ✨
Tania Quinones Joe bought them for her
L Crook thanks I usually watch all of her videos I must have missed that one.
Mouthy Mama thank you 😊 that was so kind of him.
💙💙💙
I’m no mathematician but If the leather jacket was $125 and the pants were $50 each, wouldn’t that make it $225 ,not $175? No judgement here, it’s none of our business if you spent $1750 🙃
Love that tracksuit! I could def imagine how difficult it would be to say “no” to that especially under the circumstances with your friend. I’ve really been down with hair accessories lately. Since my hair is a longer length I want to take advantage of it before I end up getting it chopped off again;) I just purchased the Bioderma Shower Oil as well but haven’t had a chance to use it yet. Bath and body products are one of my downfalls in terms of purchasing too much when I already have enough. I need to start checking myself with that. I’ve been using bar shampoos for many years and lately have been flirting with the idea of trying a more “traditional” shampoo. The R&CO Cactus has actually been one that I’ve been eyeing. I’ll have to check out the sizes. It would be great if I could try a travel size. I honestly don’t know how my hair would react to a more traditional shampoo. I’m going to stick with my bars but want to, I suppose, dip my toes in something new (actually old, lol).
Thanks for sharing, chickadee🍃🌸
I always look forward to your videos, but this video was a particularly needed distraction given what is going on right now. ❤
The sirens don't bother me whatsoever. Even when I'm using bluetooth and driving, it's funny to me to think I hear sirens & look around. Lol
Lesson of the month: If you don't want to buy anything, don't go shopping. :) (There is too much great stuff out there.)
You look so cute with that messy bun
I wish I was more like you on buying clothing items you really think about what you purchase me when it’s time to replace I just go on the weekend to the mall and I have a list and since I am short I need to try them on and I normally shop twice a year for clothes
Do not be hard on yourself if you take care of your items then they will last you a long time I would like to send you a card only if I can
Wow three sets of sirens. To date I’ve still never seen a video since you moved to the loft with no sirens. That seems crazy to me. Are you next to a hospital or nursing home? Or maybe your neighbors have just been unlucky lately. 🚑🚒🚐
