    Hi Amanda! Do you think spraying an alcohol based perfume into a nonscented lotion will give the same affect as an oil perfume? Since you’re mixing it with a lotion to tone it down? Thank you so much for this video, it makes so much sense! I could never do spray perfumes, however, I’ve always loved oils.

It bothers me how comfortable people are being so disrespectful online.

    my screen time used to be almost 12 hours a day too. about t6-8 hours was on TikTok, and the rest was on instagram and reddit. I have since deleted TikTok, but instagram reels have become a massive problem for me now and my screen time is creeping back up. today I deleted Facebook and reddit from my phone and I can only use the website versions on my computer or iPad. instagram is going to be the biggest one for me now. I have set a 1 hour time limit per day, so I can still use it but if I want it to last throughout the day, I have to be more mindful about how I use it. I read the book Digital Minimalism last year which encouraged me to delete TikTok, but I think I may read it again to remind myself of why I'm doing this.

    Congrats ! I deleted my instagram 2 months ago. Am strongly considering doing the same w Facebook now. Thankfully, I never joined tik tok. I’d rather hear about my friends’ lives directly from them , instead of via a post. Joined FB in …. 2007 ! WHAT ? 17 yrs of my life on FB ? Several hours a day ? The books I could have read ! The time I could have spent w people… The work outs I could have done. The music I could have played & listened to. The volunteer eirk I could have done. The meals I couid have made. On & on !! I don’t watch or read mainstream news, & news is important to me & I get it from groups on FB. But itz also overstimulating. I used to be more creative. Thank you for this. Liz

    • @maisy801
      @maisy801 Před měsícem

      pick up new hobbies and improve skills you already have- read, write, paint, draw, exercise, work on yourself, journal, hike, spend time improving relationships with family and friends, etc. there’s so much you can do !! to overcome the boredom you have to first allow yourself to become bored and eventually you will develop ways of getting over it. as for the making friends, true friends will prioritise your relationship together regardless the means of communication. you’ll lose some friends quitting social media but it means you’ll find out who actually wants the connection and relationship you have. also, you don’t have to completely quit ! start by just reducing your time and set limits on apps. you got this !!

    I’ve come to this realization as well. Any type of alcohol based perfume gives me a headache almost instantly (my Chanel Madmoiselle is the worst!) I ordered a scent discovery set from Riddle and didn’t realize they were oil based. I applied them and didn’t get a headache! That’s when I figured it out! So I’ve been on the hunt for other oil based/solid perfumes. Riddle has some great ones (Ex is my personal favorite) I hear Nest is oil based. Also, Etsy perfumers have tons of oil based ones too! I’ve also come to realize that certain scents trigger it as well. Pure florals especially rose I cannot stand, or anything with a dense scent profile. More than three scent notes and I’m dizzy. So I stick to simple perfumes with a less heavy profile.
