🤔 Why did you only call out TJ MAXX? Walmart, Target, Kohl's, Petco, Petsmart, even Kroger & stores in malls sell these items. I'm just wondering if there's something I should be aware of. 🤔
I would be careful recommending stuffed animals as chew toys without any qualifiers attached. Most stuffed animals have plastic eyes which are huge choking hazards for pets. Love your content! Very important information and ethics!
I walked my basset hound through a construction site once and he stole a glove someone left on the ground. He slept with that glove he loved it so much
Former vet assistant here - The reason to buy pet-specific wipes is that a) you do in many cases want something disposable. wiping diarrhea off your long haired cat's butt and legs with a wet cloth and then cleaning that is not fun (also for folks who do not have home laundry is inaccessible/disgusting to store until you can go to the laundry) and b) many wipes for humans have ingredients not safe for pets, pet specific wipes use ingredients that are safe for pets. Sustainability is great but many single use/disposable items do have a real purpose. Also, I would never buy used dog toys, lol. You have nooooo idea what they could be exposed to.
Also there are compostable pet wipes like when my dog releases her sticky gland juice all over her booty floof the last thing I’m gonna reach for is a towel sorry I love the earth but ehh… I cringed at the toys too the big plastic eyes that could also be a choking or blockage hazard depending on the dog’s size glad you commented 😅
this is definitely a perspective thing. back in the day the only thing people had were towels so it was totally normal. things get washed and it's clean again! also i think another point is that companies make super specific/specialized products--like there are already baby wipes made with just water that would be fine for wiping a dog's butt. why does the label specifically need to say for pets + have paw prints? it doesn't. it's the same thing repackaged to make people think it's necessary. also you can wash and sanitize stuffed animals! :D it's better for your dog to destroy something already sitting somewhere than to feed into the market by buying new every time. worried about plastic eyes? cut them out and sew the little holes back up. your dog is most likely gonna tear that thing to shreds anyway, so it doesn't have to be perfect. also it's good to supervise pets when they have their toys anyway, especially if you're taking this route. can't watch them? maybe one of those durable rubber toys would be better for the times you're not around.
I second this, my elderly dog has loose bowels and pet wipes are a life saver. Lucky i did a bit of research before just using human ones for him. I think some of the pet ones were cheaper in bulk than human wipes too 🤔
NOOO!!!... Be careful buying stuffed animals for your pets, from thrift stores, toy stores, etc.! MAKE SURE they don't have removable eyes, noses, ribbons, etc. AND make sure they are NOT filled with little beads, styrofoam balls, etc. ALL of these are dangerous. Just ask any vet.
Pet wipes have their uses. When my cat had ringworm I would occasionally use one on her as a more gentle way of keeping the area clean... Definitely not rubbing a reusable cloth on ringworm infested skin.
Yeah, I bought some ear and face cleaning wipes for my dog forever ago. I don't use them often, but they come in handy and they've lasted for a really long time. I feel you tho, my dog has his own towels because I don't ever feel like they get truly clean after of the nastiness they've cleaned😂
girl calm tf down if you're not stupid and a pet owner you know which toys are safe for your pets. This is a reel where she has to condense information down to a couple of seconds. Stop acting a victim.
Animal care worker here! I’m not going to add the pet toy warning about button and eyes as plenty people already have but make sure that if you do buy appropriate second hand toys to sanitize them well just to make sure you won’t be passing any parasites or zoonotic diseases to your furry friends! It’s worth the time!
I work at a pet store and I recommend you buy pet specific wipes and and toys. I’m not trying to shake you down- but non pet toys can be choking hazards and won’t be nearly durable enough for most dogs. Also same with wipes, pet wipes are for them specifically. Our pet friends are sensitive and allergic to a lot! Better to spend an extra 5 now then end up with a 5k vet bill.
@@modkip25easier said than done. my dog has a few toys that are her special toys that she only plays gently with, but i have no way of telling if a toy is going to be a “special toy” or get destroyed in a week because she’s the one who decides that, not me. also like,,, dog toys are gonna get destroyed or at least damaged and fall apart eventually, especially if you have a chewer or big dog
@@moonface710I know the struggle because I have a little monster that loves to destroy things, but after a while I started to understand what kind of toys/materials she is least likely to shred to pieces. If you can't figure it out, some toys are specifically designed for tough chewers so stick to those.

Yeah but they suck. They're at TJ Maxx for a reason. It wasn't good enough to sell, but it will be for the poor people who can't afford better. I used to buy clothes there but they literally fall apart faster then my Walmart clothes.
@@calmafterdark912 This isn't always the case. As an ex-Marshalls employee, I have gotten used to the circulated products that come into these types of stores and I know that the ones that don't recirculate are typically actual high quality brand items for a low price. Example: I bought Kleen Kanteen lunch boxes from a Marshalls in the clearance section, 3 for $10, like new. The lunch boxes are also still going strong. Some products are just genuinely overstocked and because they weren't sold in a specific time period, they get handed down to TJX stores etc, to make space for new products, and TJX stores get this problem too so if they stick around long enough they get marked down even more. You typically have to search for the high quality items though, since they usually don't come back once they're gone.
Just gotta reiterate what everybody else is saying. Spring for the pet-safe items, the child-safe toys. Watch out where materials are from in addition to where they’re manufactured.
I won't lie, buying my dog high-quality toys is a splurge I do make. He's stolen a couple of my stuffies and claimed them, and they just... do not last. Whereas one of the toys I bought for him the day I picked him up is still around and a steady favorite. My go-to for cheap "throw away" toys for him is actually old clothes, or socks, that are otherwise getting trashed or repurposed anyways. He can cycle through those to get his destructive intincts out and I can toss them later, and then his handful of hella expensive dog toys last us years and years. I did impulse buy him a cheap dog toy a week or two ago, it was too cute and got the better of me, and... yeah it didn't survive but a day or two. Spending hella money to get GOOD dog toys is worth it, in my opinion, on top of the recyled/thrifted/etc. options! :)
I have five perfumes it’s not a huge collection and the reason I have is because I don’t wanna stick to the same sent every day. I feel like that’s boring. I like to pick them based off of what mood I’m feeling.
The wet wipes for dogs actually come in really handy I’m able to get inbetween the paw pads and the toes also underneath the fingernails when my pup has played in mud. Something a wet rag cannot do even the thin ones.
Yeah the animal stuff is non dupeable I have two Dobermans and it would be a safety hazard for them to get any kind of toys that weren’t specifically for big strong chewers
Those pet wipes are a lifesaver if you keep fancy rats (like the ones you get from a pet store, not pests in your home). Rats are too small to bathe any other way safely and it keeps them very clean and they smell nice and don’t seem to irritate their skin or fur. Taking my pet rat to get groomed was so expensive because only exotic vets do it and they charge a fortune. I’m guessing they would work well for Guinea pigs and pet mice too.
The micro fiber makeup removed towels/pads/etc actually work so good, I highly recommend them!! They even do a pretty good job on my waterproof makeup, but combined with a makeup remover or just a regular face wash it gets everything off while still being really gentle on your skin. Saves so much money, I promise they're worth it😂❤
For some reason I hate makeup erasers - they make my face feel sticky, I don’t know why. That’s using it with just water, and with actual makeup remover - I wanted to like it so badly because I don’t believe in being wasteful but it gave me the ick big time. Again, no idea why, it was an official makeup eraser™️ and everything, and I’ve never met anyone else who felt the same way I did 😅
Actually tj maxx is a store that sells overflow surplus from big companies so that those items don't just get thrown out... not as good as a thrift store but still
Yea, I think it's a bit uncalled for to target TJMaxx when a lot of people shop there purely because they have to. It's significantly cheaper than Target and sometimes you'll find a great steal. It's basically made for lower-middle class.
@@averywho6430I’m curious - did you miss the clear tone of the video on purpose just to complain? Or did you GENUINELY not hear and understand what she meant? She didn’t say “don’t use this even if you NEED to shop here! That means YOU SUCK!!” She didn’t discourage shopping there. She is literally discouraging buying products that are wasteful, that will cost you more money in the long run, and helpful tips. Why on EARTH did you feel the need to complain?
I buy the disposable face wipes for a couple of reasons, 1) bacterial growth on wash clothes even after they’ve been washed can cost me more if I have a severe skin problem due to using them. 2) I would end up just buying more wash clothes because of all the staining from removing makeup. 3) I have a sensory deal with any hair on my face from cats or dogs and wash clothes tend to leave them all over my face because of the animals I live with and their need to sit on my clean laundry. But whenever I don’t use the disposable face wipes I use something like ponds or a oil based cleanser both work pretty great!
I get my dogs a bark box every month, a lot of regular stuffed animals have beads and plastic eyes. Both of my dogs are rescues and one was a stray rescued during Hurricane Harvey. So all of the toys they don’t play with and aren’t damaged get donated to the Humane Society we got our pups from. I’ll show my dogs all of the toys and the ones they don’t take get donated, which is a lot cause they are both particular about the toys they like lol.
Also friendly reminder that the single use peel masks can be easily replaced with a good exfoliant. You don’t use them daily, and if you’re looking for something to hydrate your skin, there’s a lot of Kskincare brands that are really good, and have reuseable packaging.
i have that kerroppi mug and i use them for planting propagations!! it's my favorite way to use mugs that haven't gotten much use at all and it prevents me from buying more and more pots !!
Omg! I wish THIS is what UA-cam and social media influencing would become…INFLUENCing change and sustainable living! Instead, so-called influencers are an advertising facade for companies and promote a hyper consumerist culture.
I personally do not recommend giving your dogs thifted toys. My dog will shred those plushies in a matter of days. I'm also not sure how safe the materials of human stuffed toys are for dogs.(Meaning the stuffing and stuff. I know small plastics are a no go) I would suggest buying some durable high quality toys instead and replacing them only when needed
I love my reusable makeup sponge thing, but also I use the wipes for vacations. I have too many allergies to use anything hotel related and the airport does not allow nearly enough liquids. I cant fit the makeup remover at all, but the rest goes into small pillboxes and travel soap things. Fun fact, you can get travel sized soap containers at walmart, if you rather keep using the good stuff 😊
Honestly, I think just buying a few expensive, quality dog toys is a lot better for the planet than just having "throw-away" toys at all. Regular stuffed animals will not last long as they aren't made for your dog to bite into, so even if you're buying used/thrifted toys (which is already risky because of germs, choking hazards, etc.) you're still adding a lot of artificial material to landfills. Just splurge and buy actually good dog toys that will last long and are appropriate for your dog's size, breed, behavior/personality. Plus pet wipes are specifically made for pets are different and safer than "natural" wipes made for humans.
My dog does actually care and we buy specific dog ones because our golden will tear apart plushies so much easier. Yes it’s more money but at least I don’t have a huge vet bill
Well one thing, when im out in public with my service animal and she steps in something im not going to want to go to the bathroom and wet down a towel. Some things are useful, convenient lol
Please consider taking down this video, the advice to pet owners to buy stuffed kids toys is so dangerous. Those toys are not manufactured with pets in mind, who eat everything, I have lots a dog from a pet toy, let alone a stuffed toy.
I'm so proud of myself. The other day I went to Ross soley to purchase a pair of shoes to go with my dress and a water bottle. I bought ONLY thise two items nothing else. And the shoes, they go with so many other of my clothes not just the dress
I LOVE my calico cat, she is spoiled like a little baby but, I refuse to buy those pet wipes. She has her own face washers, which I use with warm water and a drop or two of the natural shampoo that her vet recommended. Also, I don’t buy her toys. A girlfriend repurposes old clothes into new clothes. I took a few pieces of clothing to her and she made toys for me. Miss Biscuit loves them! 😊
The only I use face masks lip masks and all that stuff is with my friends for a fun activity at a sleepover, but most the time we make our own bc it’s so fun
Love this!! As someone who is struggling financially and now a mom, with less room in my home..learning to be minimal and not caring about vain things I used to care about. Its better being minimal for mee
i loooove those make-up remover cloths! they work really well, you just gotta put them in the washing machine after a few uses, depending on how much/how often you wear makeup
I save 2p coins and go to the arcades every once in a while, I make it my mission to find the best prizes that would be toys for my dogs. I also exchange the tickets for toys that are dog appropriate and they love them!
skin care routine wise: I've always been told I have amazing skin, barely any visible pores + amazingly long eyelashes (that one's genetic tho) and my routine is just washing my face, then toner, then face cream and that's it, you really don't need anything more than that. Additionally I barely do any makeup so the skincare routine is only on days when I wash my hair 2-3 times a week. Hair routine: it's actually better to wash your hair as little as possible because shampoo damages it and the more you use shampoo the more oily your scalp will get. Washing hair less often is better for your hair, better for the environment and better for your wallet!!!
Washcloths don’t take off makeup as well as the microfiber cloths. The microfiber cloth can take everything off with just water and it’s very gentle on the eyes.
Plus, microfiber makeup remover cloths are soft on the skin! But I do use a regular washcloth to exfoliate my lips or nose every so often! Highly recommend also looking into face cleansers that also take off makeup so you don’t have to buy two separate products! Look into blueberry bounce cleanser it even removes eye makeup (when used with a makeup remover cloth!) and my skin never looked better 👍
I recently went through my millions of body sprays and got rid of the almost empty ones and ones that have been empty. Now i have about ten that im determined to use before i get any more.
I love T J Maxx, but I'm so picky about what I take home. I get just the skincare I need, candles in containers I'm going to reuse, and cups. I'm super choosy about cups, I've been using the same one for 7 years, but I'm due for a new one. I found the cutest glass water cup and intricate wine glass, unfortunately someone broke them cry
Skin is more serious thing than different stuff like decor, toys, mugs and other. And if somebody want to buy something good for his or her skin - it’s okay
those disposable Make up cloths are more clean, because there is constant bacteria on this reusable Cloth .Unless you bother to wash it after every use. Which is super unhigenic ( i don’t know how to type correct english… man )
It probably depends on how often you wear makeup but not only are disposable wipes bad for your skin, the reusable one can just be thrown in with your laundry. And it has more surface so just use a different part of the towel.
On the dog toys I have bought my tiny puppy niece so many toys and her fave is my stuffed cat! I’m going to the thrift to get her one of her own! Lesson learned!
I wish that perfume refills were more common, I don’t wear it much but I like the roller balls so when my favorite ran out I decided to refill with this other spray perfume I had (too little to spray anymore & just enough for a roller). Getting the spray nozzle off took like 20 minutes, pliers, tweezers, and patience but the convenience of the roller is 😘
I actually like face masks, sometimes when I'm having a really bad breakout, wearing a thermal mud mask for 20 minutes or so feels like a huge reset and the breakout usually clears up after that. Lip and foot masks are also good for when your skin feels especially dry. But what I think the issue is are the influencers who act like it should be an everyday sort of thing. Treat yourself every so often but don't use a mask every single day lol
I couldn’t agree more. I don’t often visit these stores, because when I do, I’m struck by the vast amount of junk that’s not just in that one store, but in hundreds of stores across the country. It’s overwhelming and it makes me sick.
This was a trip to watch at first because you have the same exact voice as another woman who does haul videos and I was like.. "when did that switch up happen?? 🤔" Took me a minute to realize y'all are two completely different people lol
Anything that wipes away make up is not really effective. Try an oil cleanser followed with regular face wash. The oil cleanser breaks down the make up so that it just rinses off. It’s important to follow up with a gentle cleanser so that the oil doesn’t stay on your skin and break you out
I used to travel and after I was sleeping outside and traveling and not washing my face not using makeup and then when I did wash my face it was just with bar soap or whatever was available...My skin was the clearest glowing most acne-free it's ever been my whole entire life. It's like that meme, a man can use a bar of soap on his whole body and his face looks great or whatever 😂 you do not need all these products. They are clogging your pores! And stripping your natural sebaceous oils. If you're broke, literally just buy plain Ivory soap. And for lotion I use Ponds, regular schmegular blue label lotion! I got a 14 oz jar for $7 on Amazon 😐 my skin is so happy now that I stopped nit picking about it with endless products and skincare routines. Love your channel btw ❤ more people need to hear this stuff!
I thrift and do all that stuff too, but there are great stuff at TJ Maxx and I also don’t always want clothes outside my decade. Once in a while I do like new clothes… I’m selective of course. 😅
The t.j Maxx dog toys are absolutely great! Our dog can't use anything very soft like a plushie that is meant for children. She would tear it up immediately and then we would just be hemorrhaging money on buying more. She really needs sturdier toys, plus the squeakers are good for interaction with the animal. I also would worry about the animal eating bow ties or plastic eyes or something like that. That would be on a plushie meant for a kid.
I haaaaate how trendy sheet masks have got, it's so damaging. If you do feel the need you can buy reusable mask things that you put whatever serum or moisturiser you want underneath and then put the reusable mask on top to be the occlusive layer a sheet mask would normally be. Or put your face under a warm cloth, lie back, listen to some music and just viiibe. ✨
If you’re buying stuffed animals do not buy the ones with plastic eye, beads, battery packs etc
And if you thrift them- wash them! lol
I can’t buy stuffed animals anyway, my dog will tear them to shreds 🧸
No I will
Sorry I can't find the new hello kitty stuff I want used
🤔 Why did you only call out TJ MAXX? Walmart, Target, Kohl's, Petco, Petsmart, even Kroger & stores in malls sell these items.

You can just take them off
People should know how to care for their pets. OP is not responsible for this lol
I walked my basset hound through a construction site once and he stole a glove someone left on the ground. He slept with that glove he loved it so much
That is insanely adorable 😍 🥲
so cute 🥹

Me: I don’t need anything new, what I have at home is perfectly fine.
My dog: only appreciates bark box toys and squishmallows
the stuffing in normal toys can get lodged in dog’s digestive tracks
I LOVE MUGS 100% i use all of mine 😋
I buy the disposable face wipes for a couple of reasons, 1) bacterial growth on wash clothes even after they’ve been washed can cost me more if I have a severe skin problem due to using them. 2) I would end up just buying more wash clothes because of all the staining from removing makeup.
3) I have a sensory deal with any hair on my face from cats or dogs and wash clothes tend to leave them all over my face because of the animals I live with and their need to sit on my clean laundry.
But whenever I don’t use the disposable face wipes I use something like ponds or a oil based cleanser both work pretty great!
I get my dogs a bark box every month, a lot of regular stuffed animals have beads and plastic eyes. Both of my dogs are rescues and one was a stray rescued during Hurricane Harvey. So all of the toys they don’t play with and aren’t damaged get donated to the Humane Society we got our pups from. I’ll show my dogs all of the toys and the ones they don’t take get donated, which is a lot cause they are both particular about the toys they like lol.
No squishmallows, thrifted or not for your pets! The fluff sticks to the airways and can cause them to choke
So glad that our second hand store has a pet section.
She’s correct in that we overconsume though. I agree. We don’t need all of this
Also friendly reminder that the single use peel masks can be easily replaced with a good exfoliant. You don’t use them daily, and if you’re looking for something to hydrate your skin, there’s a lot of Kskincare brands that are really good, and have reuseable packaging.
i have that kerroppi mug and i use them for planting propagations!! it's my favorite way to use mugs that haven't gotten much use at all and it prevents me from buying more and more pots !!
Omg! I wish THIS is what UA-cam and social media influencing would become…INFLUENCing change and sustainable living! Instead, so-called influencers are an advertising facade for companies and promote a hyper consumerist culture.
😂😂😂😂
I personally do not recommend giving your dogs thifted toys. My dog will shred those plushies in a matter of days. I'm also not sure how safe the materials of human stuffed toys are for dogs.(Meaning the stuffing and stuff. I know small plastics are a no go) I would suggest buying some durable high quality toys instead and replacing them only when needed
I love my reusable makeup sponge thing, but also I use the wipes for vacations. I have too many allergies to use anything hotel related and the airport does not allow nearly enough liquids. I cant fit the makeup remover at all, but the rest goes into small pillboxes and travel soap things. Fun fact, you can get travel sized soap containers at walmart, if you rather keep using the good stuff 😊
Honestly, I think just buying a few expensive, quality dog toys is a lot better for the planet than just having "throw-away" toys at all. Regular stuffed animals will not last long as they aren't made for your dog to bite into, so even if you're buying used/thrifted toys (which is already risky because of germs, choking hazards, etc.) you're still adding a lot of artificial material to landfills. Just splurge and buy actually good dog toys that will last long and are appropriate for your dog's size, breed, behavior/personality. Plus pet wipes are specifically made for pets are different and safer than "natural" wipes made for humans.
“Please say sike right now!” 🤣🤣 I loved that
Sips on giant cauldron mug...... I actually use mine. For soups, ice cream, drinks ..... I love it.
My dog does actually care and we buy specific dog ones because our golden will tear apart plushies so much easier. Yes it’s more money but at least I don’t have a huge vet bill
TKMaxx in my area sells loads of reusable beauty stuff like make up cloths and washable pads etc
OMG! I neeed that frog cup. I love it.
Right! I love keroppi
@@rainbowfunfetticupcake9347 Thank you for the name! Now, I can try to find it!
Part of the problem
@@sophiahu6897 I mean, since you don’t know anything about this person, it’s just a cup.

umm tj maxx is my best friend and they have everything at that store 🙏
I am a crazy shaped mug user. Their uniqueness prevents me from throwing them away. I literally use them until they shatter 😢❤
“Tj is not your friend” Shun the non believer! SHUNNN🤣
An old towel tied together makes an awesome pet toy fr
Well one thing, when im out in public with my service animal and she steps in something im not going to want to go to the bathroom and wet down a towel. Some things are useful, convenient lol
Stuffed animals from the thrift store don't have squeakers and that's my dogs favorite part!
I have to admit I was sucked into Scentbird but canceled it. I have so much to get through
buying stuffed animals at the thrift for me pets genius! i’ve never thought of that
Not me seeing kerroppi mug: GYATTDAYUM
100% agree. Great video! 🫶
The only thing i get from TJ Maxx are the discounted snacks and spices lol
That's not good
"Please say sike rn"😂❤
Please consider taking down this video, the advice to pet owners to buy stuffed kids toys is so dangerous. Those toys are not manufactured with pets in mind, who eat everything, I have lots a dog from a pet toy, let alone a stuffed toy.
I'm so proud of myself. The other day I went to Ross soley to purchase a pair of shoes to go with my dress and a water bottle. I bought ONLY thise two items nothing else. And the shoes, they go with so many other of my clothes not just the dress
The face clothes are magic! They work so much better than the wipes
I LOVE my calico cat, she is spoiled like a little baby but, I refuse to buy those pet wipes. She has her own face washers, which I use with warm water and a drop or two of the natural shampoo that her vet recommended.
Also, I don’t buy her toys. A girlfriend repurposes old clothes into new clothes. I took a few pieces of clothing to her and she made toys for me. Miss Biscuit loves them! 😊
The only I use face masks lip masks and all that stuff is with my friends for a fun activity at a sleepover, but most the time we make our own bc it’s so fun
Love this!! As someone who is struggling financially and now a mom, with less room in my home..learning to be minimal and not caring about vain things I used to care about. Its better being minimal for mee
I boil chamomile or rosemary, cool it and pour it on spray bottles and make my own toner or keep them in fridge to spray myself during the hot months
i loooove those make-up remover cloths! they work really well, you just gotta put them in the washing machine after a few uses, depending on how much/how often you wear makeup
I save 2p coins and go to the arcades every once in a while, I make it my mission to find the best prizes that would be toys for my dogs. I also exchange the tickets for toys that are dog appropriate and they love them!
skin care routine wise:
I've always been told I have amazing skin, barely any visible pores + amazingly long eyelashes (that one's genetic tho)
and my routine is just washing my face, then toner, then face cream and that's it, you really don't need anything more than that. Additionally I barely do any makeup so the skincare routine is only on days when I wash my hair 2-3 times a week.
Hair routine:
it's actually better to wash your hair as little as possible because shampoo damages it and the more you use shampoo the more oily your scalp will get.
Washing hair less often is better for your hair, better for the environment and better for your wallet!!!
Reusable makeup remover…so, a washcloth? 😂
Yes!
Washcloths don’t take off makeup as well as the microfiber cloths. The microfiber cloth can take everything off with just water and it’s very gentle on the eyes.
Plus, microfiber makeup remover cloths are soft on the skin! But I do use a regular washcloth to exfoliate my lips or nose every so often! Highly recommend also looking into face cleansers that also take off makeup so you don’t have to buy two separate products! Look into blueberry bounce cleanser it even removes eye makeup (when used with a makeup remover cloth!) and my skin never looked better 👍
Em my mom always thought me thrift store stuffed animals are gross and could carry bed bugs but she’s also a super clean person
Ok but that keropi mug is my favorite mug❤
I recently went through my millions of body sprays and got rid of the almost empty ones and ones that have been empty. Now i have about ten that im determined to use before i get any more.
My mom and I love getting our dogs stuffed animals at thrift stores, the ones without the beads in them. Even my cat loves one i got for free!
I love T J Maxx, but I'm so picky about what I take home.
I get just the skincare I need, candles in containers I'm going to reuse, and cups.
I'm super choosy about cups, I've been using the same one for 7 years, but I'm due for a new one.
I found the cutest glass water cup and intricate wine glass, unfortunately someone broke them cry
Skin is more serious thing than different stuff like decor, toys, mugs and other. And if somebody want to buy something good for his or her skin - it’s okay
those disposable Make up cloths are more clean, because there is constant bacteria on this reusable Cloth .Unless you bother to wash it after every use. Which is super unhigenic ( i don’t know how to type correct english… man )
It probably depends on how often you wear makeup but not only are disposable wipes bad for your skin, the reusable one can just be thrown in with your laundry. And it has more surface so just use a different part of the towel.
On the dog toys I have bought my tiny puppy niece so many toys and her fave is my stuffed cat! I’m going to the thrift to get her one of her own! Lesson learned!
Girl thank you, you are doing important work.
I wish that perfume refills were more common, I don’t wear it much but I like the roller balls so when my favorite ran out I decided to refill with this other spray perfume I had (too little to spray anymore & just enough for a roller). Getting the spray nozzle off took like 20 minutes, pliers, tweezers, and patience but the convenience of the roller is 😘
These are so therapeutic thank you
Right on
What a breath of fresh air in a culture seeped In consumption and consumerism
I actually like face masks, sometimes when I'm having a really bad breakout, wearing a thermal mud mask for 20 minutes or so feels like a huge reset and the breakout usually clears up after that. Lip and foot masks are also good for when your skin feels especially dry. But what I think the issue is are the influencers who act like it should be an everyday sort of thing. Treat yourself every so often but don't use a mask every single day lol
When I worked at tj maxx it disgusted me the stuff people would buy, it’s sinister, it got into my head and I started buying random crap too
You do need a mask for good skin and glass skin.not everyone has perfect skin and home remedy won’t work for a lot of people
Love how everyone agrees but care more about the animals chew toys😂😂 dog life 🐕
Your dog doesnt actually care 😂 so true
I couldn’t agree more. I don’t often visit these stores, because when I do, I’m struck by the vast amount of junk that’s not just in that one store, but in hundreds of stores across the country. It’s overwhelming and it makes me sick.
I die by makeup eraser cloths. So good
This was a trip to watch at first because you have the same exact voice as another woman who does haul videos and I was like.. "when did that switch up happen?? 🤔" Took me a minute to realize y'all are two completely different people lol
lol are you talking about the bougie on a budget girl?
@@ahoee yes, exactly!
This lady makes me want to go to a thrift shop now…
I get my face wipes out if the dumpster in black bags that go from shelf to dumpster or I would just use a wash cloth blessings
Anything that wipes away make up is not really effective. Try an oil cleanser followed with regular face wash. The oil cleanser breaks down the make up so that it just rinses off. It’s important to follow up with a gentle cleanser so that the oil doesn’t stay on your skin and break you out
You bring such good energy too! YES!
Love this!
Reusable makeup wipes are the best!! Get a micro fibre one and it amazing
I am so happy I found your channel ❤❤❤❤
I used to travel and after I was sleeping outside and traveling and not washing my face not using makeup and then when I did wash my face it was just with bar soap or whatever was available...My skin was the clearest glowing most acne-free it's ever been my whole entire life. It's like that meme, a man can use a bar of soap on his whole body and his face looks great or whatever 😂 you do not need all these products. They are clogging your pores! And stripping your natural sebaceous oils. If you're broke, literally just buy plain Ivory soap. And for lotion I use Ponds, regular schmegular blue label lotion! I got a 14 oz jar for $7 on Amazon 😐 my skin is so happy now that I stopped nit picking about it with endless products and skincare routines.
Love your channel btw ❤ more people need to hear this stuff!
This girl came for me I feel personally attacked butttt she right
God I love her she brings me back down to earth every time lmao
I thrift and do all that stuff too, but there are great stuff at TJ Maxx and I also don’t always want clothes outside my decade. Once in a while I do like new clothes… I’m selective of course. 😅
The t.j Maxx dog toys are absolutely great! Our dog can't use anything very soft like a plushie that is meant for children. She would tear it up immediately and then we would just be hemorrhaging money on buying more. She really needs sturdier toys, plus the squeakers are good for interaction with the animal. I also would worry about the animal eating bow ties or plastic eyes or something like that. That would be on a plushie meant for a kid.
I haaaaate how trendy sheet masks have got, it's so damaging. If you do feel the need you can buy reusable mask things that you put whatever serum or moisturiser you want underneath and then put the reusable mask on top to be the occlusive layer a sheet mask would normally be. Or put your face under a warm cloth, lie back, listen to some music and just viiibe. ✨
