Please don’t apologize for your content changing - it would be bad if you never changed !!! Your content changing means that you are growing and changing too. You just flipped your life upside down and chose to start over somewhere new. That’s major! It’s going to take some time to find your new normal so it only makes sense that your content is also shifting a bit. I for one appreciate you being honest about your experiences and struggles.

Thank you for understanding 🤎 I don’t want to bore or alienate my existing audience, but I do feel like I’ve changed so much. I’m hoping 2025 will be a great year for content as I settle in a bit more x
Agree with this so much!!! Mary - Love your old content & love your new, evolving content. I look forward to each and every one of your YT vlogs, TT/ IG posts, and Prologue episodes. 🤗 Also, I was like “me, me!” when you mentioned the OG followers that would remember your talks of moving to Seattle or the PNW 🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️☺️
@@MarySkinner If we were all "real life" friends we would be eager to hear updates from you and realize your life changed! People who appreciate you and what you bring online won't be bored or dislike it!
As a horse girl who is ND & chronically anxious - riding is honestly such a fantastic way to soothe your nervous system and exercise. Outfits are cute too 🙃
Watching you have a slow start to the year & just be guilt free hibernating is exactly what I needed to see. This is exactly how I’m spending the first few weeks too 🥰 & now I’m going to stop beating myself up about it!!
Been watching you since 2020 and I must say your content is never boring to me! It has been inspiring watching the changes in your life and love that you set your mind and make it happen. Happy New Year!
Hi Mary! You have been one of my favorite cozy content creators lately. I studied abroad in Scotland back in 2016, and being able to see Edinburgh again has been amazing. You should look into hiking at Dalkeith Country Park. My study abroad group lived in the house on the property. Miss it everyday!
As a new viewer who came to your content looking for Scotland conent, I've found so much more - i admire the way you approach your lifestyle and the ups and downs of it all. Your fashion, your makeup tips and tricks, everything is so entertaining! So do not stress, you've definitely brought in some new viewers from this shift in content - I do not think it's a bad thing at all!
Mary! I’ve followed you for years since the beginning, I absolutely love your content and your UA-cam videos !!! Also as you’ve grown, so have we! It’s so fun to watch you live out your dreams that you spoke about living in Scotland. Loving the content change of my favs always! Thx for sharing ❤
Happy New Year Mary! You are one of the few lifestyle content creators I watch because I need to be able to feel connected to them... which I do with you. The life you're living is so close to what I wish and hope for for myself, so it is always great to watch your vlogs for inspiration. I also appreciate you so much for your realness and the way you share the bad sides too. Hope you have a great year and I can't wait to see what you are going to do this year
I love the slow start to the year idea and how spring is the real start, I broke my foot day before Halloween and had to have surgery. So I really like the idea that I’m not missing out on my goals for the start of the year
You give us the perfect cosy content… I love to watch! I can’t wait for you to experience spring in Scotland, the amount of daffodils we get is mad! Hopefully it reminds you of home, and it makes you feel all lovely! 🫶🏼
Obsessed with the scotland content, as a native new yorker! It’s so cozy, fun and cool!! Also the fact that the primark looks like it could be in any suburb is hilarious to me!
As someone who day dreams about moving to Scotland but currently lives in the DMV, I honestly could not be happier about all the changes in your content!
I think Scotland is so beautiful in ANY weather. That country wears its weather so well! Thank you for this video I absolutely oved it a little bit of everything! my kind of video. I would love to see like shopping hauls from the actual shops if they allow you to film in there. No biggie but it would be nice to see the items, and prices, quality etc. . 💗Lisa from Chicago
Just have to comment and say that I love your content! As a fellow Virginia girl who would move to Scotland in a heartbeat if given the chance, I am living vicariously through you!
Oooh hope to see some of the horseback riding lessons! There is an amazing place to ride on the beach near Edinburgh when you get more confident. It’s accessible via train and a short walk. There’s an even better place that is a short drive away. There’s NOTHING like a beach gallop! I used to ride at Tower Farm with the equestrian club at uni - they have some beautiful hacking too. Horses are a great form of therapy.
I’m hoping I’ll be able to film once I go a few times! My intention with the lessons is just to be able to ride around the countryside - it’s so stunning and I want to see it on horseback 🥹
@@MarySkinner amazing! You'll love it so much, and Edinburgh/the Scottish Borders truly have some of the best countryside in the world to ride in. If you get super confident you can look into the Common Riding Days they do in some of the border towns - I want to do one sooo badly.
Mary! Loving your content! My dog also has allergies and tummy issues. We switched to homemade food and he’s never been better. It is expensive and inconvenient (sometimes) but so worth it!
Hi Mary! I lived in Scotland for several years (I am also American) - you should look at the Fife Coastal Path as well! Super easy day trip from Edinburgh, and one of the prettiest areas imo!
I’ve already started my workouts for my New Year’s resolution so I’m doing that. But a lot of my resolutions are like going to bed earlier and journaling and they feel cozy so I don’t feel like I need to wait until spring! Springtime I might ramp up the workouts though!
absolutely loving the scotland content, but i also want you to know that i watch your videos for you, not just bonnie scotland. i have loved seeing you grow and change - here’s to a happy and healthy 2025!
fellow VA girly here! I love your little nods to home on those shelves in the kitchen - to add to it, on that tin, I think the cardinal might be sitting on a dogwood tree which is our state tree/flower! idk if it is, but it kinda looks like it so you could say it is to add to the home-y feeling! I currently live in FL and have thought about getting a tattoo with dogwood flowers & orange blossoms 🩷
That’s one of the first phrases I picked up from Matt when we moved in together. Nothing else communicates the cozy feeling of staying in bed quite as well as having a lie in
Hi, Mary! Im from Virginia too and lots of my family and friends live in Gloucester! I grew up in Williamsburg and though im not as far from home as you are (im in TX now) I miss VA every day! The best place to grow up for sure. :)
Feeling optimistic about 2025! But I caught a cold just before I flew back to school after being home for the holiday so I've had a slow start to the new year. I think the second Monday of Jan will be my official start.
Hi Mary, love your channel! I feel ya on the dealing with a pup with a sensitive tummy. My husky had tummy troubles during his first year of life. Nothing worked for him, even home cooked meals, until I switched to raw food. Hopefully you find a solution for Fergus soon 😊🐾
The fact you loved Norway so much is so funny to me because my parents were in Tromsø last summer and they haven‘t shut up about it since then😅 they keep saying I have to go see it myself one day and now that you‘ve said the same I guess it is true haha
ma'am you could make a video about watching you watch paint dry and I'd still eat that up. Whichever way your content shifts, here for YOU! ps. showed my family your Norway vlog and we're booking for next christmas!!! we love Norway in this household but that vlog motivated all of us to take action so: thank you
I'm not starting new resolutions per say, but resolving to continue to maintain my healthy habits that I developed in 2024!! All about maintenance and peace
Where is your drone from?? The footage is UNREAL. My partner and I just got back from 3 years in the UK and I nearly cried seeing the green fields and mossy stone.
I started my new year on the 6th too! I just moved to DC after living on the west coast my whole life and honestly I’m having a really hard time adjusting to the winter. I’m usually really big on resetting at the beginning of the year but I don’t have the energy! I’ve tried hibernation techniques tho to keep it positive! Any tips for a girl experiencing her first winter?
re the dog food - my sister in law dog walks in edi full time and she always recommends raw food for dogs who are struggling with their digestion - she buys hers in frozen blocks and they deliver it to their flat. Her dog is on a raw food diet and loves it! Might be worth looking into it for Ferg :))
What size leash do you use for Fergus? I’ve been looking at long leashes for hikes but I don’t know what length is too long. I found a 20ft, 30ft, or 50ft one but 50 seems like it might be a bit much lol.
My year started off strong with another wave of existential crisis, so thats lovely. Other than that Im hopeful tgat its going to be better than 2024 or honestly, the past decade haha I like the spring option of new year, Ill adapt that sonI feel less shitty 😂
One of my dogs has bad allergies. They can have a protein allergy and environmental allergies. Food allergy is if they have a reaction with that food. Novelty proteins help dogs with allergies. I have my dog eating a duck based kibble. Pretty sure my dog has a beef allergy. And she’s allergic to everything environmental. Medicated baths also help. There are a ton of shampoos out there. Dogs with allergies is not fun and very costly and time consuming and you just feel bad when they are so itchy. I had to get a vet dermatologist involved earlier. She’s having a flare up now that I’m trying to treat.
now ur in Scotland u MUST call it "Hogmanay" not new years eve. Its a law here in Scotland 😂 I'm glad u like our beautiful country, go to Glasgow, as a Glasweigan in my opinion its better than Edinburgh but I could b biased 😂

The drone footage + the music made me think of Outlander!
37 minutes?? We have been blessed 😅
I love your content even more now that you’ve moved to Edinburgh! Happy to see you adjusting to your new life there. 😊
Visited Edinburgh for five weeks last year, absolutely loved it! Have you eaten at PICKLES in Newtown? So snuggly.
Lucky you to live there.

Biab is sooo good! I definitely recommend and I am jealous that it is more popular in the UK
It didn’t work for me, it felt very flimsy and didn’t last like acrylic ://
try buff nails! I used to get my nails done there all the time - they do the full nail acrylics hehe
I’d love to hear more about the dog food. I’ve been considering as well!!,
still here! and watching! and interested!

Papier!
Curious where in Fairfax y’all were talking about as someone who grew up there lol
I need to know your lippie details! It’s like a perfect pink!
It’s one of those color changing glosses from Tarte!
