Glad I’ve learned this lesson at age 32. Material things are not that important especially if they only sit on the shelf collecting dust. I only buy what I use now. If I like the style of bag and if it is reasonably priced, I will buy it and use it until it retires.
This is your best video ever! I turn 50 in September and agree totally - freedom & travel! My happiest memories are with my friends, not with my stuff! I still like nice things, but only want a few items I use regularly - ‘luxury minimalism’ is my new mantra. 🌸🌹💕
I love your video. Freedom and travel are priceless.
Thankyou so much honey 🥰😘
I don’t know if you’ve heard of this YT Channel before her name is colourful noir and her channel is all about luxury minimalism you should check her out .. she’s so soft spoken, I absolutely love her channel.
Oh hell no
Luxury minimalism is so popular RN
I agree. I don't have the funds for expensive luxury, but I think this video applies to any unnecessary items. I used to spend a lot on fast fashion because it's was affordable, but now I don't as much. My bucket list to save so I could travel and create memories with my family in the future 🤞🤞.
I think there is nothing wrong on spending in fashion if you do it carefully. Meaning just buying when you have an important event. Or when you think you need something.
Enjoyed watching 💕 I celebrated my 50th birthday this year in Paris for 10 glorious days, my daughters are all happy and off to college and I’ve had a lot of time to reflect ….all expensive jewelry, bags, shoes etc. must be wearable regularly for real!
I love luxury fashion. It’s ironic that now I can afford it, I look at the money I could spend on a bag and think: “I’d rather spend this on an experience with my loved ones”. We are brainwashed and conditioned to buy stuff, to think we want and need stuff. I started a UA-cam channel on fashion and styling. It’s easier to gain a following if you’re always buying and showing new things but I don’t want to buy, buy, buy. I want to use what I have and style outfits I genuinely wear.
What a good inspiring video.. Yes, we are getting old and we need to enjoy what we have, and yes, and whatever items we have and don't use them, we need to sell them or give it away.. I'm single mom I became a widow few years ago.
Thank you for this video
This is EXACTLY why I FREAKING LOVE YOU. You are genuine; a rare gem in a world that is full of smoke and mirrors. You inspire me more than you influence me - the things that I have bought based off of your recommendations I LOVE. I can go on and on about how amazing you are - so glad I stumbled upon your channel. Keep doing what you do 🤩 you outshine them all ❤️
Wow, Wow , Wow, you have humbled me so much, what a beautiful thing to say and hear 🥰😘
@@VivienneConnolly11 ❤️❤️❤️
haha this is SO true, more stuff means more sh** to think about / sell / organise / clean / insure
So true lovely, the state of us 😂😂😂🙈😘
Loved this video! I sold all of my designer bags this year. I think the pandemic put things into perspective . Instagram also makes us feel like we have to own all of these outrageous items. Thank you for sharing your thoughts xoxo
Instagram is the worsttttt for this! Giving us so much FOMO
You are absolutely right. What is the point of buying stuff if your not going to wear it. One day we’ll be six feet under and someone else will be either selling them or wearing them themselves.
Agree with the idea of being more mindful about buying: one of the things I’m actively unlearning and relearning is the idea of enjoying items that are not ‘luxury’. For some reason, somewhere along the way, I had bought into the idea that ‘high end’ items are always better than everything else that does not have a designer label, even when those that carry a hefty price tag do not have the same quality or durability as others that may not be coming from some fashion house. It’s frankly a ridiculous tendency, and yet I need to unlearn it - which really does tell you a lot about the impact of social media on the way you think. Crazy!
I didn’t buy my first luxury bag until I was 51, despite being financially able to decades before. But I just didn’t see the need. Until I tried one on one day… then I went crazy for the next four years buying loads of them 😬.
Now I am slowing down and catching my breath, and realizing that as fun as it is, it is the very definition of excess. So I will be going back to a more sane shopping style going forward.
The handbag shopping is so addictive, I too also didn’t buy a lux handbag until I was 50, and then I went crazy for 10 years. I sold all except for 1 in 2020-2022. 😅
Just came across your videos about getting rid of some items. I have been feeling so overwhelmed after my dad’s passing November of 2021. I can’t seem to find joy in buying “stuff” I want to get rid of at least half my collection, I do lot need it. Nothing will replace my dad, nothing. And pursuing happiness in material stuff is no longer my goal, Therapy and traveling are. Thank you thank you thank you for your video.
Aww I’m so sorry to hear about the loss of your Dad hon, that’s such a shock, you are 100% right, I hope you find some healing , and exactly that, nothing can replace our parents , stay strong hon 🙏🏻😘😘
Viv, you are so right. I am in the process of downsizing too. I live in Switzerland and I found it so challenging not to be able to visit family and friends, so travel is such a priority for me now the borders have reopened. I want everything to be as simple as possible given that our lives tend to be often complicated, what with a daily “juggle” of commitments, cost of living etc. I am so pleased you are able to articulate this point of view given how much of UA-cam is about attaining more and more. Thank you!
I agree with your message here, too many things causes stress. Cherish the things you love and find another home for the rest.
Great topic. I can totally related. I am downsizing my luxury collection since last year. I started from small items including sunglasses, shoes, scarf then this year I focus on handbags. Right now , just one in one out and same time let some bags go. Thank you so much for sharing darling. 💕
I feel like this is such a hot topic ATM luxury minimalism
Glad I found your channel, love it! I just turned 55, went on my dream vacay with my husband for my birthday to London/Paris/Munich and bought two luxury bags that I have always wanted (not huge investments, an Alma BB and a Prada re-issue Nylon). Now that my twins are in college it is time for my husband and I to travel, I have my bags, don't need anything else and would rather use my money for the experiences and to go and see the things we couldn't do/afford when we were younger! I agree with the jewelry too, I have my wedding band/engagement ring and a few other pieces that were given to me from my mom/grandma that I would never sell, all the other stuff I would gladly sell.
Totally agree Melissa, we just don’t need so much stuff, time, freedom and experiences are the most important things in life, along with health of course 🥰😘
Greetings from Los Angeles, I agree with what you said that's why I pulled back from watching luxury halls over-consumption when inflation is on the rise is not something that I can participate in
I can relate, Vivienne. It's a fortunate position to be in, to be able to have too much. I think as long as we can appreciate what we have, it's ok. I do have anxiety over the day when i feel like my luxury items have turned to clutter. So i do my best to avoid that feeling.
I hope this works out for you. This was my plan but destiny had other ideas lol ... Finances wrecked by two lots of cancer, then two of my grown up children have been hit by disabling illnesses and have moved home. So at 62 I'm a full time carer, looking after two grown disabled children on my moderate pension.
I can still dream though, and live vicariously through people like you!
I’m so sorry this has happened to you 😢 sending good health to you and your children ❤️
Very similar experience over here. I am disabled (renal diseases), and my father got older (he's 85 years old), and - more important - sick, so all I wanted to do / could do despite my own health problems was put to rest, since I have to look after him (I wrote "have to", but I think you understand what I mean - I also want to, even though this is not my "wish", but the alternative would be not acceptable for me). So no travelling or anything like that anymore; maybe if I can take him with me, but he has to be a little bit stronger for that.
Wishing you and your family all the best 💗! 💞
🙏🙏🙏❤️
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️
U are going to b ok.God bless
Great video! My 36 year old son is living that life. He's always traveling and experiencing things.
This is one of your best videos, V. 💕 makes so much sense.
So true, you can’t take all your expensive stuff on your travel. You will get robbed in a second. BTW, your jewelry are gorgeous, I would buy jewelry before handbags any day.
Just came across your vids. Love it! This is exactly what I'm experiencing rn. I have a very repetitive classic chanel flap collection & I just sold half of it & bought me a piece of jewelry. I'm actually enjoying & in peace. I feel now in my 40s there is not so many shoulders & time to carry them all. I'm very grateful for all that I have.
100% agree hon, and I wear my jewelry every day and really enjoy it 💃🏼😘🥰
Loved this video. I feel the same if I am not using it it has to go. I love travelling and plan to do more with my family.
In my 30s I certainly have learned that less is more. I stopped going onto social media but Pinterest is also a source that makes me buy things I don’t need. I’m certainly more aware of what I spend my money on though. Thanks for sharing this video, you’re helping a lot of young girls.
Love this message Viv. I will not waste my money and will declutter items I don't use. Also, will limit my luxury purchase. Great video.
Thanks so much lovely, I’m just tired of having too much, which sounds wierd 😘🥰
I had such an epiphany the other day when I realised I'm chasing the it bags which go out of style like fast fashion. And I'm sick of luxury being fast fashion. Now I want mostly old time classics that always have an element of old school chic like the lv monogram noe, speedy, alma. Chanel classic, lady dior and you're good to go always looking chic. Thays my new take on luxury. I just love the old school lv classics they are so elegant to me!
Preach, sister, preach!! Excellent video. Love your content. ❤️
“ life is short, experiences is what we need ” 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽
Alleluia 🙏🏻
I'm traveling the next two years for my studies, and I have the same mentality of trying to carry all of my valuables with me. I have a greater fear of getting robbed the more expensive items I collect.
That’s a fact hon, totally hear ya 🙈😘
I agree! why would I slave away at my job to buy all those luxury stuff to try to impress people who don't even matter to me! at the end of day, I don't feel happy still because I’m still working at my shitty job
You’re so on point with this video. I’m right behind ya and in 6 years I’ll have my 50th but I been saying that if it’s doesn’t add to my life and experiences, then it it’s not for me. I’m giving myself the next few years to get the essentials out of my system bag wise and I’m now adding pops of color, then I’m done. Not more costume jewelry and broaches, it’s got to be quality or none at all. I’m a true collector of my lux items so it hard to even let the dumb shit go, but I’m trying or the deal is I got to use them!
I’m so glad that you had the courage and posted this video. That passion that you how resignates with many. Thank you for just being you!!! 🙏🏾❤️
Aww thankyou so much Mona, I totally agree with you, we over complicate everything, I’m enjoying this new process 😘💃🏼🥰
💯 agree with you. I have been thinking I don’t need too many bags and other stuff. I really need some things practical. I don’t want to worry about it especially while travelling
Exactly hon, they just end up sitting on our shelves 🙈
Very wise and well said Viv! I worry about the level of debt people carry to buy stuff to impress people they don’t like. Honestly, you can not swing a Gucci Soho bag without knocking over 15 mums at the school gate with the exact coloured bag. It’s the norm?
I’m saving for a special bag at present for my 40th birthday. It’s going to be such a special experience.
Thank you for this very straightforward comment/opinion! So far, I stopped buying “new collection” and I’m very proud of myself. I’m enjoying the eye candies that I have and start saving up for future travels that will make new and fun memories for me and my family. Thanks, Viv! Wish you all the best!💜
Thanks so much Frances, totally agree 😘💃🏼🥰
I've been really torn lately. I love my luxury goods but I hear this message loud and clear. I feel like it's difficult being in the luxury UA-cam community. There is an expectation for us to have the best bags or the latest bags. What happens when we stop doing reviews or unboxings? That is my main concern, how ever I love the idea of luxury minimalism.
Go with your heart Melissa, I agree , it is a worry, but you need to be authentic to yourself first 🥰😘
I really enjoyed watching this video. I have been feeling the way you do for a couple of years and the older I get the less stuff I want. I related so much with this video because I sold a lot of my fancy jewelry that I never wore and focused on what jewelry I can wear everyday to all occasions. Practicality is key in my life and I want a minimal luxury collection that won’t stress me out. That you for posting this authentic content.
Thankyou so much Seah, I totally agree, I travel a lot and the worry and stress of leaving my stuff at home is Not worth it:), 🥰😘💃🏼
Great video, we have to reassess as lifestyle changes - remember when Diana auctioned off all her formal ball gowns because she was no longer a working royal? She wanted to throw off the shackles and wear more modern and minimal styles. I try to buy things now that I can enjoy frequently as you say. Hope you vlog your travels and adventures! X
Much needed video, thank you Vivienne! ❤️
You brought a very serious topic and honestly nothing matters as freedom, not all this expensive stuff for the house, to pay credit cards and be never able to go and experience life! I am so glad finding your channel, you are the wise, best friend everyone wishes for ❤️❤️❤️ much love from USA, Florida
Completely agree. I started watching your videos today now subscribed. 😊 great content.
Aww thankyou so much Laura 🥰😘
Such a good point say it like it is! We need to wake up sometimes
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉About time 😂😂someone spoke the truth!! I adore this message ❤
😂😂😂thankyou so much 😘🥰
Viv the opening of the video 🤣😂 too funny! Love your Channel btw. I’m a silent watcher but I enjoy your content. Have a wonderful day.
😂😂😂thankyou so much hon 🥰😘
I’m a new subscriber. I love your truth! Great video!
Thankyou so much Rhonda 🥰😘
I think a lot of people are feeling the same I had a reality check as well and have redirected my money even though I do still enjoy watching videos about handbags I have significantly stopped buying changed my mind about a classic flap there’s just so much more to do with $10k.
Such a great video and great message! I have moved around a lot all my life and live by this philosophy. Basically all of my luxury or personal items I wouldn't be willing to leave behind needs to fit in one suitcase. Really helps you curate :)
Agreed I’ve been thinking a lot more before purchasing expensive items because I was doing to much impulse buying and then not using the item after months even up to a year. I sold a lot.
Well done you honey, any regrets? Xx
Vivian! omg-- I'm with you on this.....I've really have had this same chat with myself. At 60 I am finally learning that having all this stuff is not important. I want to travel more and see my friends more. And enjoy life! Good for you for doing a video on this. Now- it doesn't mean I will never buy another luxury item- just not as much. And use the things I own more!!! Thanks for this!! ❤👏🏼
Thanks so much Theresa , my sentiment exactly 😂🥰😘
We need to use what we have
I totally agree. We can't take anything with us when our time comes. I think it's about just as you said..wearing or enjoying the pieces I have and not getting cluttered with excess "noise."
Need to ignore the noise and social media pushing us into wanting to buy things we don’t really need
I love everything about the message in this video. Well said on everything!
Thankyou so much 🥰😘
Absolutely loved the video 💖 The world is definitely changing and people are rethinking their lifestyles!
We hardly enjoy the things the things we already have, and immediately want more!
Looking forward to seeing your beautiful travel photos 🤗
Thanks so much Claudia, that’s a fact, had trouble uploading from Marbella, but I will get something together when I get home 🥰😘💃🏼
Such a great video! So true about Instagram too… agreed with the madness of social media! Enough with the BS indeed 😂
Hands down Viv my favourite video of yours!!! I love love the message behind this video and I fully agree!! Less is definitely more and I dream to travel the world more ♥️♥️♥️ looking beautiful as well Viv!!
My first bag collection that I worked on since the early 90s, I sold all but 4 bags. Took a break and then built collection #2. Last year I sold all but my original 4 and 2 others. I have my eye on 2 bags but if I don't get them, it's okay. I have my 6 and I'm fine with just them.
Great video. Instagram is a bad influence..lol I only buy what I can afford. I can't keep with Joneses..😄 TFS ❤
None of us can hon 🥰😘
So many people need to hear this! Amen! x
Love your video. I think about buying luxury bag but aware that i will have to be careful when i use it. I have to be careful to keep it. At the end I decide not to do so. Your video confirm my thought. Thank you so much.
Agree , use your bags, wear your jewelry and enjoy them, eliminate what you don’t need 👏♥️🇨🇦
Couldn’t agree more hon 🥰😘
Some live 4 others just live for some complete stranger validation .smh
Very true hon 😘🥰
True. These people also dislike themselves.
You are so right!!!!!You go hike just to make an insta pic......very true!
😂😂😂😂🥰😘
Such an awesome video❤❤ SOoo on point!!!!
Aww thankyou so much Alexa 🥰😘
I’ve been saying it for years. I will never understand the ppl who buy “luxury” items on credit! Its not a luxury if it’s on credit!!!!! In fact, if that’s what you’re doing, is making your life more complicated. Also placing a significant amount of your wealth in to material things is absolutely pointlessness and problematic. Like you said … you’re not gonna take it all with you when spending summer in south of France! Leaving it behind: you need to worry about security, maintenance etc. same as property portfolio. Owning things creates problems and takes away from your freedom. I’d rather spend an amount it cost to owe a house on renting stunning homes in various locations in the world. That’s a freedom. Freedom has no price. Not many ppl understand it. Xx
I’ve purchased bags on my Nordstrom, Saks or neiman Marcus. It’s very convenient also I get points. Absolutely no shame in that. I pay it off and it’s great fir my credit. So that’s why. Nothing mind blowing
@@katemiller7874 well yeah but thats a different story. Many wealthy ppl use AMEX by BA feg for all life expenses. You purchase literally everything on c card but you do have this balance on your current account and pay it back at the end of the month. Not only good for credit score ( real rich ppl don’t care about credit score tho) but mainly because the more you spend the more point you get. You exchange your point for flights or flights upgrade. I am talking about those who literally take “a loan” to be able to purchase a luxury item. Such purchases are usually caused by social media or society pressure. Owing a designer handbag will not make you a better person. Like a said if it’s on credit it’s not a luxury.
100% agree with you hon, all about freedom and experiences 💃🏼😘🥰
Totally agree! Just get the few items we adore and use. There's no need to keep those we don't use I rather use the money for experience with family on holiday trips! Xoxoxo
Love your message….. travel is good for the soul…. Not things…. 🙏🏼
Thankyou Carolen, that’s for sure ✈️🥰😘💃🏼
Great video and such wise words.
So agree no one has it ALL!!! You never know whats around the corner and life can take strange turns sometimes.
Enjoy what you have and as you said keep it simple, less stress. Looking lovely💕
You remind me of Johnny Depp. I said that since I watched your videos. I just seen him at Disney. One of my all time favorites. The way he acts in his movies is you 😂.
😂😂😂😂love this , I adore him 💃🏼🥰😘
@@VivienneConnolly11 me too lol
Very good topic, thinking about this a lot at the moment and reassessing what needs to be in and out of my life (also in my 50’s). I want to enrich my life with good experiences with the people I love.
I love design and luxury and my pieces do give me joy, but as you say, I want things that I will be wearing and using all the time.
Also having one old parent left in my life who is getting dementia and forgetting about what his life was before and possessions are not on his mind any longer. That also makes me reflect even more. Thanks again Viv, so much to say on this topic.
Truth. Wise words. Thank you 🙌🏻
Very well said, Viv! Really love watching you being real and straight to the point. Life should not be as complicated as other people perceive it. KEEP IT SIMPLE. 👍😊
True!
Love this one so much. Yes expirience more while we still can😍
Exactly Janna, I climbed up to the Acropolis yesterday and thought to myself, I could do this if I was much older 😘
Absolutely love your message
I just turned 60. Getting rid of so much! So many things just sitting around not being worn! Yet I can’t part with them? What the hell is wrong with me? 😂
Nothing wrong with you no shame in liking stuff. Viv likes stuff. She has a Birkin, Chanel’s. I don’t enjoy travel. I’ve raised my children, through college. So I enjoy shopping and bags. Unapologetic.
So very true unfortunately we usually discover this mind set when we reach 50.
This is a fact 😂🥰
Yes!! Yes!! Yes!! I loved loved loved this video .. thank you for speaking the truth Viv ❤️
Thankyou so so much honey , I really appreciate that 😘🥰
Ah Viv, what a fantastic message.
Thanks so much honey 😘
I’m 33. I have Louis Vuitton speedy Micheal Kors selma and Chanel classic flap ( which has never been out the house ) when I grew up I never bought any cheap high street bags etc
That is not to say I haven’t bought random things and wasted my money lol
What about art would you ever buy it in terms of an investment perspective.
I have also stopped buying trinkets from holidays etc I’m trying to have less stuff in my house lol
Smart girl, I have honey 🥰😘
I honestly love your jewellery and the way you mix and match them ! I always end up playing with mine after watching you ~ 😂💚
But yes, I totally agree with you. Lately I’ve been showing some love to the things I already own and enjoying every second of it.
Can’t wait to leave the U.K. finally to visit family back in Belgium 🇧🇪 ! Promised myself not to luxury shopping while there but .. emm will see 😂
xXx
Vivienne OMG!!!!! This is your best video!!! U are the one that made me narrow down my collection to the neutral colors and you just opened my eyes again with this one so now I will get rid of some more things. Thank you sooooo much!!! Just straight talk no chaser!! I feel the same way on trying to figure out what nags to take when traveling and it sometime makes me mad because I can't bring 4 or 5 with me. So this video makes me appreciate you even more!! Oh and this is one of your best videos ever!!!💜
Wow, high praise indeed Tam, thankyou , I hankypu , thankyou 🥰😘💃🏼
Can’t wait to follow you on your journey !
Aww thanks honey 🥰😘
Totally agree Vivienne, love you
Aww thankyou so much Denise , love you 😍 😘
Thank you for making this video, it has really helped me, I have felt like I’m drowning. New subbie xx
Thankyou so much honey, it’s all bull shit xx
It really is, and I am just realising it. I would rather be influenced by you, everything you have said is real x
Loved this video, too many things overwhelm the brain.
Totally agree hon, too much choice is a bad thing 🥰😘
I’am going to call you my conscious 🙏🏻😆 you bring me back my sanity
Thank you so much for this meaningful video ❤️I’m 31 and definitely my style evolved a lot and I think I reached a point where I know exactly what I want and I think exactly the same as you, I love to buy things that I will love and enjoy and if I cant wear them everyday or if they dont fit my lifestyle I would not definitely buy them , If I dont use an item I would definitely sell it and put the money in something that I love
Aww ☺️☺️, 😂😂😂😂thanks honey 💃🏼😘🥰
Great advise!
Thankyou Barbara 🥰😘💃🏼
A nicer car and a bigger house are the old status symbols. The ultimate flex is freedom. Location freedom, financial freedom and time freedom!!
Wonderful epiphanies you're having!
And I share most of your sentiments about pointless materialism.
However, I strongly advise against wearing valuable jewellery of any kind when travelling.
You will be a target for thieves and you can't be awake at all times.
Wealthy people do not take high end bags or jewellery when travelling. Unless they are really high end, going on private jets, travelling first class and staying in top hotels, and even then you can be a target. Look at Kim Khardashian. I'm not being alarmist, this is the reality and it's getting worse with tougher economic times.
When doing a tourist trip, or just a staying in a foreign country, the in -the-know wealthy take bags like Coach, or other mid range bags that won't attract any attention. They are utterly low-key. You simply will not be able to get away with it for long.
I was going to give some examples of what can happen but it may shock you and I don't want to be a downer. Let's just say it's not worth the stress.
If you want to take some limited jewellery you can pack it but don't wear it in ordinary circumstances. Take a rollup jewellery bag...bring a few items that you can live without if they get stolen. Do not take sentimental or valuable items. It's not a picnic you're going to be in places where the local people or the people that serve you are tempted by your stuff. That's aside from the people you casually meet, or the people in buses or on the street.
Leave your most valuable items with a trusted friend or family. Get a safe. Store it. but please, please do not take it travelling. It's not all easy. People pare it right back when travelling for good reason.
The reality is this stuff belongs to a different lifestyle. I agree totally those diamonds are not everyday bling. They are for showing at an upmarket event of some kind, a wedding, something like that. If you don't need it, sell it. And get in early because there are going to be forced sales soon as the interest rates really start to bite. I mean this is only just getting started in terms of upheaval. JIMO.
The whole point of travelling is the experience and you Do. Not. Want. to be burdened by your stuff. Trust me! I urge you to read up about this and watch what people take when travelling and packing. It's minimalism to the max if that makes sense.... I'm not talking about cruises or organised tours, which tend to be flashier but even then wealthy people do not flash their real stuff. For good reason. They leave it at home probably in safes or with trusted friends or with a security company. Safety boxes at banks are not necessarily safer they have fine print that you should read absolving of liability. Sorry to be a downer! I'm just being realistic.
Travel can be wonderful but there are plenty of downsides and you must prepare for them. Life is about finding what fits for you at that stage. I have a friend who had 40 designer bags and she had to go to hospital and ended up there for ages and her roof leaked and rats came in and ate many of the bags and carpets...leaving a mess. Insurance didn't cover it because the house wasn't being maintained and that's because we were all in lockdown. She's in a nursing home now and very philosophical about it. Enjoy what you have and if it's not serving you then divest and invest in what does.
Wear your bling if it's fun but if it's stressing you out then don't. It may be good to hold onto it for better times ahead. The Hindu Indians shed their material belongings and take to the road in the last stages of their lives. It's called sannyasi. Worth taking a look at what is meant by this, it's really interesting. It sounds like you want to go on a more creative path not necessarily. spiritual. If you go on a spiritual path beware too, this time of charlatans and fakes. These are interesting times ahead. Go well! I'm really enjoying your vlogs!!!
Love your fun vibe as always and particularly that you touch on the topic of life beyond just material things (which we all love but is not the be all) and kids... Love it! If only I don't have 3 young kids to still rear, I'd be joining you on some girlie vacation! 😘
Aww thanks so much hon, I agree, shout me up on a few years 😂💃🏼💃🏼😘
Love it 😍
Wise words Viv 🙌🏻
Thank you sm for this video!!
I think a lot of us needed to hear this ♥️
Brilliant one. Loved this ❤️
Thankyou so much honey 🥰😘
Hi Viv, I love your personality and your videos. You are so right. I buy all these diamonds, bags and clothes and no where to go. However, I would love to buy your 2ct diamond ring which you have in your pinkey finger if you’re decide to sell it.
Thank you. Looking forward to the travel vlogs :)
Thanks so much lovely 🥰😘
Ooooh your Vestiarie link isn't working. Is it UK only? Thanks!
I love this! Whilst I love luxury bags, I only own 3 but I love each of them and will never sell them as 2 of them are sentimental. If I really want a designer bag then I will treat myself but I love travelling more so would rather spend my money on that xx
This video was hilarious and refreshing! 😂
Thanks so much hon 🥰
