Come shopping at the TIP with me!!! Just The Tip (Shop) Tour of Tasmania: Episode 1 (2023) 

I think we are at a similar timestamp haha Came here to comment this

Agreed, I love her

Jup sure is.

Agreed, super informative and interesting to follow!!

Absolutely! I never thought about it but Alex friend is right. They're must be more people like us watching both of them (Alex and Bernadette)

Hello fellow guinea pig parent

100% agree with everything. She mentions that she has a house full of furniture back in Sydney, yet she's going shopping for new stuff. What's going to happen to the furniture there? Even if she donates it, there's no guarantee it will all get bought and reused, unfortunately. The best way to be sustainable is to reduce unnecessary consumption, whether new or second-hand.

@F C Exactly, and a lot of the stuff she left in Sydney and doesn't care about anymore were items she "loved so much" from past thrift hauls. Buying from thrift stores isn't any more sustainable is 90% of what you buy is going to be discarded anyway.

Shopping like this part of a manic phase.

She seems to have hoarder issue and I think she thinks moving away will solve everything when it'll all catch up eventually. She'll fill another place with stuff get overwhelmed and start all over again.

She’s literally shopping secondhand. You do realize that she literally has to FLY to Tasmania right??? Have you ever attempted to move a whole house full of big furniture that far away? EDIT: I just looked it up and it’s an almost 24 hr drive there. (And I’m not even sure if you can take a standard car the whole way) Do you really expect her to make MULTIPLE 24 hour trips to haul furniture 24 hours away??? That’s literally insane. The amount of fuel she’d pollute the air with…. You guys talk about her buying furniture secondhand…. And then donating her own furniture…. WHERES THE ISSUE, I’M SORRY. And she already mentioned she doesn’t really purchase fast fashion. The only time she gets it is when she does sponsorships and even then she DESTROYS the brand by talking about cheap the clothing is, etc. These comments seem so unnecessary

Two words Carboot Sale

Things that aren’t purchased are usually bailed and shipped oversees for textile production.

@@chaotic_ghost These are actually becoming a problem overseas, the poor fabric quality is resulting in poor resusability.

I just buy second hand from carboots

Apparently Sam and Alex stopped following each other… as well as Michelle. I’m confused on it all!

This comment did not age well

Zeke is the correct spelling, and the person with the cool pointy nails is Arden (they/them/theirs) ☺️ Couldn't agree more about the guinea pigs; I have two myself and it's devastating seeing how little information on them and other rodents are available (especially hamsters and degus too!). So glad Zeke and Claye were knowledgeable on them 😊

So happy to finally see people becoming more knowledgeable about keeping rodents! Even 10 years ago when I had Guinea pigs the way I kept them people considered them to be spoilt even tho I “only” kept them a bit above minimum space for the three I had…. Also have been watching Bernadette for multiple years now and the only thing I actually dislike about her is that she keeps single Guinea pigs which makes me sad because I can’t believe she doesn’t know they shouldn’t be alone :(

That's what I'm wondering like what actually going on

She put a picture up with another man on Insta and all her friends including Clay unfollowed her so I don’t think so. She then deleted her Insta!

There's zero chance any plants are alive

shes only active on her pigeon account now- i think shes also deleted her main account, i think she deactivated it at first because you could still see her account, whereas now it says user not found

Sorry. They aren't everywhere. None in WA.

I'm shocked

They are in Victoria

@@35406 there is one in the south west of wa

@@aussiegirl1166 Which shire? I live in that area and I've never heard about it. I heard about Tasmania having one about 25 years ago.

@@drkmn3628 you've heard of pop culture?

First peoples are always ignored and It’s prudent to mention us.

???

The whole channel is giving huge manic episode vibes lately. I don't think this big move is a very good idea.

She needs help . I really do care about Alex but I can see her passing thru manic phases right now. Moving away from her hubby, her parents and other friends is not a good thing to do. I can no longer watch these videos because it saddens me to see her like this. I wish Alex the best and hope she finds her way.

@@debramcbride6711 she isn’t moving away from them to leave them, she’s going to a place she’s realised she loves. It’s not a crazy thing to leave the city, a place like Sydney, for a quieter life in a more rural area. Don’t u think if she could take every single person she cares about with her she would? Of course because they’re her family and friends but guess what grown ups often do move away from the place they were born, it is not abnormal. Alex has also said so many times she is HER again, it’s not a manic episode, she just finally feels like herself again, the her we clearly have never seen. Guess what you don’t know this person in real life. This is probably the first time we’ve ever been able to see the real full alex at every stage in her day, goung through every emotion that she does and dealing with things in her own way. She’s also said that is hurts her to read comments like these. I get it u may be worried but don’t try to tell someone that their happiness is mania and say it’s because you are worried. Alex has so many good people around her that would tell her if they were truly worried. Please just be happy that she is happy we all need to be more positive instead of looking for problems that aren’t there. If Alex says she is happy, we must take her word for it and trust that her many amazing friends and family would step in if she truly wasn’t❤ I may sound harsh, so I apologise, it is just bothering me to still see so many of these comments

As someone who recently visited Tasmania, I can concur that she is making a great choice. It broke my heart to have to go home again. If I had the money I would have stayed also. It’s such a wonderful place, and to still be in Australia but be immersed in so much beauty and nature if feels otherworldly. Then you search the real estate and it’s like a quarter the price of living anywhere else in Australia (which is becoming increasingly impossible to own your own home) so it’s like a dream come true! I’m am super jealous and as someone who has struggled with mental health also, Tasmania feels almost like a place of true healing.

Some parts are mirrored, some are normal. Weird.

probably because of all the people who are concerned about her- people started noticing that she unfollowed all of her Sydney friends and they all unfollowed her too, apart from Tiasha and Millie. She also unfollowed most of her Tasmania friends like Claye and i think Zeke? maybe a few others too, im not too familiar with that lot tbh. But yeah people started noticing all of this stuff going on and started questioning it and then she deleted her insta the other day- but shes still active on her pigeon account

Probably from all the hate and drama that people are giving her. She did say she would be MIA until the move by then lot's of people speculating.

It is privately owned. In Australia overwhelmingly most are charity owned. And there are a large portion that do not take larger objects.

OP did you read the reply?

@@ci8516 Who me? Yes I read it. Can't say I completely understand though. How do the privately owned ones get their stuff compared to the charity owned?

@@Cheshiregrinn91I don’t know how it works in other states but here is South Australia, it works by people dropping off donations. So yes people would deliver bags/boxes of clothing or items. But we also have a lot of regulations about exactly what we’re allowed to sell in op shops. I know in the one I was working in, we weren’t allowed to sell exercise equipment, or very large items. Anything that could be a heath hazard. Eg. No open bottles of things or anything like that. (I haven’t watched the video in a while so don’t have context, but I hope this helped answer your question, sorry if it didn’t 😂)

I just want to add, it was a very small shop I worked in, so the exercise equipment and no large items rule could have just been because there was no space inside the store for them. Also as the other person said. The stores are usually privately owned. Usually the store will be collecting money for a specific charity. Eg mine was a “Save the Children”, helping children across the world. So they tend to mark the prices up a little, and a minority of the profit goes to the charity, they may take some for bills and rent those things. But the people working in them are usually volunteers. Again, sorry if this wasn’t helpful, but hopefully I answered some of your questions.

Im dead

That's honestly not a good thing is it?

Imported from US maybe? I noticed that Impreza right away too!
