🙋‍♀️ ABOUT ME:
My name is Morgan and I'm a 20-something living in Chicago who loves thrifting, slow fashion (slow living in general), caring for the planet, tea (the liquid kind and the dramatic kind), being outdoors, having deep conversations, having frivolous conversations, and of course making silly lil videos. I hope you have a laugh, learn something new, or feel little less alone while you're here. 💛

zhlédnutí 3,8KPřed 2 měsíci
Let's talk about what I spent in the first 3 months of 2024 as a 28-year-old in Chicago! After completing a Low Buy Year last year, I wanted to continue my conscious consumption habits in 2024 as well. To see how I'm doing, I've been tracking my spending on everything from essentials like groceries, utilities and transportation to non-essentials like clothing, entertainment, dining out and more...

    Hey Girl I really like the idea of a menu instead of routine in the morning. Using that for sure. You said that you dont like making decisions on your exercise routine and you do the same thing every time. I was told that by doing that your body will get used to those exercises and you wont see any real change. Have you looked into the app workout for women has like 50m downloads really good, free, quick, efficient. It does all the decisions making for you and give you what yourll be doing that day. You can set your own time limits and change out work outs if your not feeling them. Not that you were asking for ideas on working out just thought I’d through it in comments. ❤

    Congrats on 10k! Hi I’m Sara! My fun fact is I’m a travel nurse. I think if you ever want to move from Chicago you may like TN. It’s got a lot of good outdoor activities available which you mentioned you’d enjoy. It has quieter towns but also loud ones lol. Definitely a place to consider if you ever decide to try something different

  • @jito7377
    @jito7377 Před dnem

    I am now testing your Notion System for Mirco Cleans. This is a very neat idea to not be overwelmed. Remember: Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly. Even when we can not clean the big house, it will be cleaner than before.

    If it makes you feel better I never watch the short form videos on CZcams. I like CZcams videos for the longer content so idk why they are trying to be tiktok right now. I’m sure your shorts are lovely and thoughtful but I wish CZcams would just embrace what it is and what makes it different. I appreciate you making videos like this that are very real and relatable, and all your content in general! Thanks for not giving up!

    Hi Morgan, congrats on the 10k! My name is Christie and I also live in Chicago and love this city. Granted I already had several friends from college who already lived here when I moved so the transition was very easy. I didn’t know you did meet ups until very recently (after seeing it in another vid) but hopefully I can get to the next one! Fun fact: I’m an only child 😌 love your videos!

    • @morganevelyncook
      @morganevelyncook Před 4 dny

      Hi Christie - always great to meet another Chicagoan! Definitely would love to see ya at a meet up - hoping to get a couple on the calendar for the fall!

    Hey Morgan! I just want to let you know how relatable many things you talked about in this video are to me. It helped me feel way less alone in my struggles. Very helpful video, keep being you! :) PS Loved the coffee mug you had at the beginning of the video! It made me laugh

    Girly same, I’m also working hard to be able to do content creation and it’s so much workkkk. It will pay off, I’m sure of it. We’re in this together. Subbed to you, I love your vids and personality. 🤍

  • @yourlocalsoupboy
    @yourlocalsoupboy Před 7 dny

    This is such a helpful video! Most self help videos Ive watched suggested things that felt so daunting and impossible to do or required large amounts of money but this all felt helpful but realistic:)

  • @Bee_Sabrina
    @Bee_Sabrina Před 7 dny

    Hi! Congrats! I’m Sabrina and I was born on Friday the 13th. Love your videos and I loved your comment in this one about asking yourself if you’re feeling societal pressure. As an introvert and not a very social person, I often feel like a failure in the eyes of society. I am trying to acknowledge that I don’t need to do what has been ingrained in me or “expected” of me. Being true to myself is more important and I feel overall a lot better when I do.

  • @jito7377

    Omg the candlelit skincare! I have to try this. I get so hyper fixated on picking, and then an hour passes, and I look like I got mauled by a bear!°

  • @abigaildanielson7183

    Congrats on 10,000 subscribers! I absolutely love your content and always smile when I'm here! One fun fact about me is I looooove all things coffee (not just drinking it but the history, science, brewing processes, etc). Also, you should visit Duluth, MN sometime! It is everything you were describing about a city that is quieter, greater access to nature, but also has a ton of personality in its small businesses!

    • @morganevelyncook

    "if I wanna look hot and prosper, I gotta do it" deadass a similar mindset has kept me going consistently for like. four years now? with exercise like sometimes I suffer a mental break and I slip, but I always come back to it also- the high-five was very fun, it actually made me laugh
