As someone suffering from the winter here in Brazil who’s travelled to plenty of colder places, I feel like part of the struggle is the fact that the buildings are designed to keep the heat out and very rarely have any type of heating. When it’s cold out in places that get a lot colder, you usually can get away with taking off your coat when you get inside, whereas over here we usually keep all our layers on even at home/work/etc. So thin, comfy layers that actually warm you up are extra important to me, since it wouldn’t be fun to spend the whole day working with a full on winter parka over a couple sweaters.
I just want to tell you that two years ago, i saw this video and tried your focusmate suggestion. I have since earned a graduate degree and have completely changed my life thanks to it. Thank YOU so much for making this video
I'm Canadian and my city is either 40 degrees or minus 40 degrees so good quality clothing is everything to me. Quality natural fabrics are a game-changer, I want all the cashmere thrifted or otherwise!
@@neletrox3886 I was gonna say the same thing ^^ I'm actually surprised this isn't a universal truth. Like, not necessarily with this wording, but just the general idea "if it's cold / rainy, put on the right (warm/waterproof/...) kind of clothes"...?? Seems like a no-brainer to me XD but that may depend on where you live/what the seasons are like. If you live somewhere that's usually hot, maybe you don't have clothes for that short time each year when it's cold, or vice versa? So I'd definitely recommend layering ^^ Probably the cheapest / most minimalist way to keep the cold out ;)
Mine are: a light alarm clock (softer way of waking up, no phone involved) Oura sleep ring (sleep tracker) different blackrolls acupuncture mat perfectly fitted bras (=bra fitting done by a professional)! so important memberships for the Yoga studio and the boxing gym around the corner (it's just a really good workout combo) subscriptions to MasterClass, Skillshare, and BookBeat (because you can never go wrong with reading or learning more) lunch 3 times a week at a local organic vegetarian/vegan restaurant near my office. I struggle a lot with consistent, healthy eating and I'll typically default to pizza and burgers, especially when I am stressed. But the food there is just next level and so delicious and wholesome. Knowing that at the very least I will have three amazing, healthy lunches a week gives me a sort of anchor when it comes to food.
I'd love to see an updated note-taking method in the future if that's something you'd be interested in - sounds like it would be helpful for my uni readings :)
I know right! The darkness is the worst part about winter. We only have 6 hours of daylight in December. I can't imagine living a place where the sun doesn't rise for weeks. I think I would get scared never to see the sun again XD
You're completely normal by my standards. I moved from Brussels to Brisbane 18 months ago and I have been wearing layers, the wind is cray cray here! Always enjoying your content, thank you for showing up consistently and boosting us with good energy 🌼🌼🌼
Excellent content. A few years ago I bought a small alarm clock from Reject and it is fab. I absolutely have to see the time as it irritates me not too lol. I like to know 'where I'm at' if you get what I mean. YES to layers! I wear 2 singlets in winter then a TShirt then a thick jacket, a scarf and beanie. Back in the early 90s my mum said to me I needed to buy a coat (I'd complained about being cold once to often 😆) and if I didn't she'd buy it! Well, can't be having that! Our taste is different 😉. That coat taught me how much easier life was in cold places. Silly really because I'd lived in extremely cold places all my life! The chore chart is a great idea too! I shall be implementing that. Thank you for your sincere videos. I love that you are honest in your content.
I have struggled with finding the right alarm clock and i just ordered the one you suggested. I LOVE IT! Ive only used ti one day but it woke me up perfectly. Thank god! Thanks Muchelle xo
Layers have improved my life too. I life in Indonesia and the weather can be crazy hot for hours then later raining cats and dogs. Sometimes the office aircon is unforgivingly cold until I can't feel my fingers. Cardigans and tank tops are my new best friends.
Since the first one, I 100% agree. I guess I feel like a kid when I get up. You know, kids are easy to persuade, easy to advertise, easy to direct to the certain way. I guess also in the morning, when we stop setting alarm with our phone, there's no fast changes but it gradually do which makes it ripple through our life. I usually don't watch purchasing videos. But this video is awesome. Thanks, mate.
I live in Chicago (USA) and we are known for many things -- including the most bitter winter weather. My best investment last year was a brand new GIANT PUFFY COAT. I already had one, it was wonderfully warm, but also too big on me and hella uggo. So now I have a well fitted, white coat, with a hood. And in that coat, I laugh mockingly at winter cold. Suck it, blizzards!
I feel you girl. I haaaate winter so much. Maybe I‘ve never experienced good winters (supposedly in some parts of the us it’s nice) but here in Germany it’s just dark and rainy and gloomy and disgusting. Summer all the way!!
Pretty sure it's just your family not layering up! Then again Melbourne is a unique beast when it comes to weather. Either way I'm glad you're getting cosy this winter
I’m learning that aligning my physical objects with my values means longevity of those things. If I’m buying a yoga mat, I’m buying an organic Ayurvedic dyed mat. I’m going to use my list of values from your other videos/lifemap and brainstorm what “thing” would reflect this?
I love your purchase ！！they must be so useful and wise !! Right now I want yogibo ( cushion ) and new computer . I’d love to organize my life and create new stickers for my planner ! Love your video ! Have a great weekend
OMG I have the same feeling about winter/ winter clothes😂 I live in Brazil and our winter last like 3 weeks but this year omg I feel like I keep saying “I’m so cold” all the time 😂😂
You should try Roam Research or Obsidian for note taking - it's the perfect way to link ideas together in an organic way that doesn't require initial setup or knowing what the end structure will be
@@muchelleb look forward to hearing your review of it if you ever decide to do one :) This way of note taking (I use Roam) is the only thing that has stuck for me! I'm a research scientist and it's pretty cool the various connections that automatically emerge when I'm taking notes on papers
+1 to team that hate cold. I live in south Brazil and there are many cold and humid days in winter and no internal heating. I was suffering much less when I lived in Russia (God bless internal heating). I was thinking the same idea about clothes, how can I be better prepared for next winter and suffer less ;-)
Love these videos so much, you have such great ideas and I LOVE your planner, I really really need to buy one! I am the worst with being organized with anything and it’s exhausting. Also the email thing sounds so good! #wintersucks!!
hahaha its normal and only your family doesn't do it I guess. As a uni student once upon a time, I couldn't afford winter clothes so I literally did nothing but layer. (Brisbane girl here)
I am from Siberia, Russia. The temperature there is below -30C quite often. So, we have a saying «A true Siberian is not the one who does not feel cold, but the one who dresses warm». And it’s quite true: I simply can not imagine a bad weather, because every weather is good with appropriate clothes :)
Canva, my home printer and pva glue to stick all the pages together! Then I just stuck them the whiteboard (hence why I feel a cork board would have made more sense!!)
i was wondering why your videos weren't being shown on my subscriptions page for 2 months now. and I searched for your channel just like that. and that is when I realized that some really stupid person, who must have used my laptop/phone, unsubscribed to it and many other channels too. i just cursed him/her. nothing wrong in doing so when someone acts stupid. lol
Like people are saying in the comments - def a scandi thing... It's also a saying that rhymes in Swedish - "Det finns inga dåliga väder, bara dåliga kläder" I used to be so frustrated when our teachers in Sweden during winter would make us play outside and use this saying as reasoning. HAHA, It's not bloody true when it's -15 outside.
@@muchelleb True! I have the OG in my cart, just mulling it over 😂 I also read in some of the reviews that people DIY with a men's athletic cup. Apparently it's a very similar shape!

"No bad weather, only bad clothes." That person HAD to be German. We live by that here lmao
Always heard it was a scandanavian saying
@@madamelicorne581 Also in the UK. I think it's just everywhere it rains/ snows/etc. a lot haha. Otherwise we'd never go outside.
Or Finnish! Same here as well!
@@MustBeM Same here in Finland, haha! ❄️☔️

waiting patiently for a video on "How to take smart notes...."

I'm in WA and have always layered as I too hate winter. I thrive in summer when everyone else is complaining how hot it is 😁
Mine are:
a light alarm clock (softer way of waking up, no phone involved)
Oura sleep ring (sleep tracker)
different blackrolls
acupuncture mat
perfectly fitted bras (=bra fitting done by a professional)! so important
memberships for the Yoga studio and the boxing gym around the corner (it's just a really good workout combo)
subscriptions to MasterClass, Skillshare, and BookBeat (because you can never go wrong with reading or learning more)

Still hate winter no matter how many layers 😂. It getting dark at 5pm, gray skies, cold, ice and snow storms and more 🥶🥶🥶

I am so grateful- I just love your videos- so helpful
Love the idea of making the things we use the most comfortable things 🙌🏻😍✨💃🏻✨ It is a small thing but it is so awesome ☀️✨✨✨
I read Elastic Habits just because Michelle recommended it and it is so bloody good.
Love my steamer - it also does less damage to clothing over time than an iron would.
would you recommend getting an ipad? if so, how do you use it?

Canadian here, I still wear layers here in hot weather and it’s not normal here either haha
brb adding all of these things to my cart👀
yess layers literally save my life commuting to work in the morning 😭 always wearing a long sleeve and leggings under my pants!!
You are not your thoughts. You are the witness of each thought.
Love seeing other ppl using TimeTimer! I’ve had mine for a year and I Love it!
I relate to the no cold so hard xD
Can you share your chore chart??
Smart alarm clock, good idea! That's gonna be my next purchase. Thanks Muchelle!! ❤️

Please show us your Arcaa Movement collection. Love their line and have seen it on you. :)
Layers are normal here in Melbourne haha… lots of layers in winter 🥶
Low standards for ironing. 👍🏼Hi, that’s me 😂😂
Will the Life Map ever have international shipping? I tried to purchase from the UK n cannot🥺🥺🥺
I am from South Africa, I also hate winter. Luckily our winter is almost over its nice and sunny outside.
Lol @ low standards when it comes to ironing 😅🤣😂 my soul girl 🥰😍🤩
My fave type of video!
Where did you get the clock? Is it a phone?
Where do you get good winter clothes (warmers) in Au?? ❤️🥴🥴
Love your new long sleeve top, would like to know where it’s from to also buy one ?
Hi, I went to purchase your planner and the shipping is coming up as $60 AUD. Is this right?
Love this thank you xxx
I love your energy and your encouragement. Love from a new youtuber. ✨🐎✨✨🐎🐎
Brn buying all of these now!
nice video
interesting items

Thank you :)
What a good video! I too am a big lover of boody and also decided this was the winter to invest in layers!
ahh no way I have a backpod - best tiny bit of plastic i have ever got!
