hi it's cynthia 🤍 welcome to my lil slice of youtube where I share my life as I navigate my late twenties, and all the things I love along the way like sustainable fashion, self care, and travelling x
where to find me: instagram: instagram.com/inspiroue/ tiktok: tiktok.com/@inspiroue email: cynthia@inspiroue.com
why inspiroue? I made 'inspiroue' up by creating the words inspire + you. I hope my vlogs can help inspire you to dream big and live life fully. And I hope my sustainability content can inspire you to take action so we can transform the fashion industry for good.
Agreed, still deciding between a gallery wall or large scale canvas! I use a projector which is why I haven’t committed yet cause I keep moving my couch around haha
My skin type is quite similar to yours and I’ve had the same experience with vitamin C, my skin doesn’t react well with it. Also, if you struggle with dry skin in the winter try the Some By Mi AHA BHA PHA serum, it’s actually an oil-serum. I love it!
Agreed but mainly I’m so happy you changed your name back! Every time you posted it’d take my brain a few seconds like “who is this random person I’m subscribed… oh I think it’s the inspiroue girl??”
It's so draining. I was so determined to buy only slow fast for years, and I did, I only thrifted but then last year I got pregnant and I had to buy clothing from places like target/amazon. Baby stuff from H n M/gap. There's a huge gap in the market for affordable slow fashion especially for mothers. Now that I had my baby, I can go back to thrifting! I do use places like thread up tho. Thanks for your work! A long time viewer.
Aw appreciate your support all this time!! And yes I get it - it’s sent me through so many spirals to figure out how to balance believing in change and my individual impact! A recent perspective shift I’ve had is that at the end of the day it’s on the brands making the most money in the industry to do the most, so how do we make that happen!
This is something I've thought about a lot especially with regards to kids. They grow so fast so the idea of investment pieces doesn't really work for them. When my siblings and I were growing up, we wore mostly 'hand me downs' and such so it's possible but it's more time consuming
@@ose5226 This! Hand me downs are a good tradition. Less waste. I'm already saving some clothing just in case I have another one. My baby is rather big so she's left some clothing untouched. We've let go of some sustainable traditions like clothing swaps or learning how to mend our stuff, we gotta keep these things alive.
I also love the jsm cushion, I’m the same shade medium! I tried the next shade medium deep, which would work better for summer. Their foundation powder in Sand was great too!
I have oily, sensitive, acne skin. My top sunscreen under makeup is the litttlextra rice berry sunscreen SPF 50. It works well even with makeup. It’s actually quite brightening over time, idk what's in there but I certainly like that. I have already used like 3-4 bottles of this sunscreen. Additionally, I also apply rice berry face moisturizer beneath it and it helps keep my skin hydrated.
Omg. Why is your apartment everything I want?? Where is your couch from !!!! I mean I live in Australia so I might not be able to get it, but worth a try haha
Love a movie solo date, I have the AMC membership so I go 2 times a month usually or more if there’s a lot out and my stickler is I almost exclusively do recliner Dolby showings. Glad your health is improved!
I enjoy your videos and voice, but taking yourself out of the moment to vlog it performatively might be great for your channel, but perhaps less so for you. You talking about part of your life while showing a couple of photos would be plenty for me. We should all go to the park and touch grass, not expect YTers to be self videographers of that activity on our behalf. Honestly so much of it just looks like influencers influencing each other with the V fingers and the same shots, like “I’m doing the thing and photographing it! I hope the feeling I imagined comes with it! I hope I look like all those cool girls on the feed!” Our imagination and projection is always going to be more wonderful and problem-free than the reality. It just sets up such an unreachable scale, instead of a scale of reasonable expectation of pleasure and emotion based on real life experience. I’m just saying I hope you enjoy your life as authentically as possible and do what truly feeds you, even when it’s not photogenic, because you seem like a great person.
Love Organic Basics! Just wished there were Canadian stockists that carried their products. I ordered from them directly a few years ago and the duties/misc fees were crazy high 😭
Loved this video! And refreshing to see you back. I feel like there is currently a wave of RU-vidrs coming back to RU-vid lol myself included 😭 feels good to be back
I love your videos. Welcome back, it’s always great to “see” you ❤ thank you for the gentle and encouraging reminders to slow down and relish in life’s moments as they are happening.
I've done a few boxing classes and 1:1 training sessions with boxing coaches, but there's also a lot you can learn online from RU-vid videos!! Even without any gear and just shadow boxing at home with basic techniques is a good workout :) For self defence, my friends have tried muay thai/jiu jitsu which I think may be more helpful than boxing tbh haha
