      @@alexandrac9172 I totally see where you're coming from with this! I'd also like to chime in that these kinds of comments are extremely helpful "key takeaways" that save a lot of time for people with ADHD, autism, or other sensory processing troubles. It helps so much to see a note that sums up the main points for quick reference after watching the content for a refresher : ) I can see both potential cases for aiding as well as possibly detracting from the video, but just wanted to give a second point of view here. I'm sure your insight comes from good intentions as well & I am glad that some creators have the agency to take down these comments if they feel the same way

    So good to hear someone else talk about showering in the dark 😅 Total shoutout to this situation and how relaxing it really is!! See it’s not weird at all haha!
    As apart of sleep hygiene I educate my clients the importance of sensory activities, and dark showering is one of them. To wash away the day, listen to the water, cause you don’t see focus on the scents of your soap or body washes.
    Thank you for sharing this tip 😄

    Thank you so much for this video, Margaret. I’d love to have a cup of tea over at your house because the coziness and calm call to me. You’re absolutely right that it isn’t about striving for perfection at all, being more intentional truly helps in all aspects of life 🤍 I’m all about the visuals too, clearing surfaces off, natural colours, warm lighting, it really calms me down, and brings me to the present, for years I would wonder why I preferred warm lighting and it makes so much sense. Thank you for the desperate measures section! Gosh what a magic recipe for a rough day. ✨

    toothpastes. Sadly most “clean” toothpastes like Boka, Tom’s, Super Teeth, etc contain glycerine.

    Hi, I’m just curious if you still use Smear? I noticed you’ve linked a different brand of tallow and wondering if you like this new one better and if so, why. I bought Smear off of your recommendation and LOVE everything I’ve ever purchased from them. But what is different or better about this tallow?
