You should definitely take the pants to a tailor and have them taken in on the side and the pockets sewn up! I’ve done this before and it’s an easy fix!

Hairstylist here !! Make sure your spraying the color wow dream coat pretty liberally !! It’s hard to over do it, so don’t be shy & make sure you got good tension on your blow dry !! 😊

Finally someone agrees with me on the Vitamix blender! Its actually not that great! I keep recommending for over 4-5 years to not buy the Vitamix and just buy either the Blendtec or Ninja blender. It does a way much better job

[prettyvacant]

I completely agree about the Vitamix blender. I had one for years and just found that it actually struggled quite a lot when making thick smoothies. It's also so massive and quite a hassle to use so I found myselfavoiding making smoothies and things cuz I just couldn't be bothered. I sold it and bought a Ninja instead and use that everyday.

The company Ugg have been sold to a Canadian company rather than Australian and I wonder if they are no longer the same.

👏👏👏 there was a time on youtube where we were all learning about haircare and skincare and we took it and ran with it. I'm glad I learned something but ultimately it's so much trial and error, money spent, products gathering dust and I'm just not going to do that anymore. Especially with haircare; I have contempt for washing my hair bc it takes 2-4 business days to dry. Guess how much longer it took when I was putting in leave in conditioner, gel, treatments etc etc etc. I want my hair to be clean and dry as soon as possible.

I also agree with bras, I only buy victoria's secret bc they have sales and coupons, I know what I like and stock up on those. I lovr the scoop neck ones.

My unpopular fashion opinion is more shoes should have slip-on or velcro strap versions. Even on my lace shoes, I don't ever untie them, I just slip them on and off. I only re-tie if they get loose. I can't be bothered!

I have been wanting a pair of Bangs Shoes. They are similar to high top coverse but full heavy canvas material, comes in very nice colors and a bunch of cute embroidered patterns. I will splurge on them one day!!!!

[ninvehshamoon]

Omg you should try the Dr. Marten Jorge clogs!!! They’re sooo cute and comfy. They are open in the back but have an adjustable strap to keep them in place ☺️

[jillisenberg]

You have inspired me to go back to some drug store make up, and it’s been great! Also feels like a much smaller risk to try a new color of lipstick if it’s $10 or less. I do feel like higher end hair care benefits my hair, but that’s just my experience. ❤

[coffeebean]

Yes, same exact Vitamix experience! I have to go in and manually stir everything constantly

[joeynakamura]

You should try Korean skin care. It’s so good and so affordable. Even makeup. You should check it out.

[maddiephillips]

I ended up buying that VS bra when u mentioned it in a previous video and it’s literally the best bra ever😭 I threw out all my other ones and bought 3 more of the VS ones 😂

[HoofArted]

Ninja blenders are amazing!! Totally worth replacing ❤

[mells]

I want to know all your opinions one EVERYTHING!
I totally agree with you on the bras thing. The Jockey brand at target f**kin mint 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[saskiamoreland]

You should do a video trying different non-underwired bras. Cheap to expensive, for different clothing - tank tops, white t shirts, tight fitting etc !

[kylipytel]

It’s so refreshing to see someone who also uses drugstore products. I have also gone back to mostly drugstore makeup, hair care, and skincare. I don’t notice that anything is worse than before and I don’t spend nearly as much money!

[susanma]

You mentioned that you wanted to get into sewing. The gingham pants are the perfect opportunity! Put them on inside out and pin them to get the silhouette you want. You could even sew the seams by hand for a temporary fix.

[justagirlbelieving]

My jaw dropped when you said you were 36! Girl I legitimately thought you were early 20s. That skincare routine is clearly working! Motivating me to simplify 😂 great vid!

[izzyhibby]

I worked in a sneaker store for six years, and one of the best ways I have found to help with sneakers or boots that cause ankle blisters is to get heel cup gel inserts. They give your heel some extra squish and also lift your foot a bit so the back hits a different (and hopefully more comfy) spot.

It won't work all the time, but worth a try and you can take them in and out so you can use just one pair of heel cups in multiple shoes.

[craftinginthemoonlight]

I'm right there with you girl! No more under wire, no more expensive makeup, no more ridiculous skin care! I've gone back to basics and keeping everything as simple as possible. I'd love to see you do an unpopular opinions video or series. ❤
