Same, sorry but the cut from the excited "I'm just going to have to put the doors on now" to - low-toned and forlorn "Oh my god", with the camera held back to take in the whole lopsided fiasco of a thing had me crying with laughter >
I always go by what you and Zoe said in a Q&A video years ago. “Your vibe attracts your tribe” and since doing that I’ve built the best friendships around me I could ask for ❤️ I really resonated with everything you said Mark. Your videos are so relatable and always make me feel so chilled x
Hey Mark, you know what I love about your content? It never feels forced. The things you do everyday seem so natural and genuine. No ''toxic'' positivity, you take care of youself, but you still work through the small/big challenges in life. It is super soothing and always puts me in a grateful and calm mood. Thank you for being you and sharing it. x
this is exaclty why I´m rarely on tiktok. I just can stand this. because it´s the best thing in the world that we´re all different and edgy and sometimes cringe. I think it´s about time that it´s "cool" to be true to yourself and do and look whatever the heck you want, cause you´re unique and you should celebrate it. dang I´m getting heated 🤣 You´re the best Mark ❤ thank you for inspiring so many people ❤
Mark, I love you and your videos, so in all honesty, yes, the new storage unit doesn't look great. I think a lower, wider unit like you had before fits that space better. At the end of the day, if you like it and it works for you, fab! You do you❤
I always click “not interested” in those videos !!! As someone with bad anxiety they drive me insane😫 I’ve always loved the RU-vid community more than any other platform, i have my comfort people on here❤️ ( you being NO.1 lmao I swear I have rewatched every single video 10+ times even if it’s just background noise !! ) Love you!!!! Xxxx
I also got this wardrobe thing. For my nursery. I ended using it as under the stairs shoe storage and built it to fit under them. The higher you build it the less stable it gets !!!and I ended up not using the doors. 😅
Mark , you are worth getting a chest that is solid, durable, of quality...something that will last more than 5 mins, just for you, doesn't matter if people see it or not :)))) Luv ya lots
Social media has gotten out of hand with people posting ridiculous advice just for views. Like the people telling you rubbing a banana on your face is the new Botox or that you shouldn’t wear sunblock because it’s “toxic”. Do people actually believe any of this nonsense?!
Literally! I see videos of people saying one thing giving “advice” then you scroll down & there’s someone saying the opposite 🤣 the trouble is people on social media don’t need any qualifications or experience to share their “advice” x
@@zovi3363 that is 100% incorrect and anybody with a medical degree that has years of experience actually researching this will tell you that’s not true.
@CTLee420 definitely not eveni believe Johnsons and Johnson Baby Products came out with data , to prove a few of their products had carcinogenic ingredients. If you think big corporations don't put chemicals damaging to our health in products I don't know what to tell you
i feel like this year just started, but it's already about to be the 3rd month of the year!! how crazy is that?? i feel like i've done so so much this year already, but at the same time, still setting my goals and expectations. it must really be true that once you get older, the time just passes by... and i honestly still don't know how to feel about that or this year in general TT what you said in the beginning of this video is sooo true--there's so much expectations for 2024 to be "the" year and there's just so much pressure so i'm just a bit overwhelmed, to be honest, ahhh. i look forward to more mark vlogs~~ i love them so much and i love to watch them as i work!! especially solo travels---one day (maybe this year), i hope to have courage to solo travel as well. cheersss
I bought my daughter the Lego flower kit. She’s put them in one of those fish Glug vases. They look fabulous! I’ve stopped buying daffodils as much as I love them the last lot I got only lasted 3 days. When you think about it they are just in boxes in the supermarket they aren’t in buckets of water.
I totally agree with everything you said! It's not just your fyp, social media is really getting out of hand. I feel like people are living in an alternate reality where there are really weird, specific and unrealistic rules about how you should be, and if you don't follow them you're considered cringy or icky. It's so hard not to let that type of content affect you because it's literally everywhere, and the only way to fully ignore it is to delete apps like tiktok. I have also been finding it really scary and strange how normalised it is now a days to film strangers on the street to then make fun of them online...like sometimes I'm scared to do anything in public in case someone will make fun of me!! so stupid. This is why channels like yours are so important :), you are such a positive and non-judgemental person, I really appreciate your content! I wish there were more people like you in the world. Thank you
I feel like I observe myself so much that I just KNOW I'm going to get weird at least by February, and I just need to wait it out, because once spring is fully here I become myself again, so I don't put much pressure on myself at the start of the year and I just make sure to have little things to look forward to here and there 😅
6:39 as someone who suffers from obsessive/intrusive thoughts (not been officially diagnosed with OCD). Stuff like “do this or this will happen” can trigger thoughts in people like me, and that’s not fair, that social media doesn’t think about how these things could trigger things for others.
I’m in the kitchen washing dishes watching this video.. and my boyfriend come up behind me and starts watching for a bit. Then he goes “Is the Mark you are always going on about?” And I said yes with a big smile and he goes “haha no wonder you like him so much he’s the male version of yourself”.. BEST compliment I’ve ever gotten 😂❤
3:15 oh I have an idea! When you see those “If you don’t interact with this video” things, hold the video down and choose “not interested”. That way you ARE interacting but you’re also telling the tiktok algorithm (and the universe) that you aren’t interested in having a bad ANYTHING!
Mark im a gardener and supermarket daffodils are like that at this time of year because they’ve been forced to bloom… they don’t seem to last… they get better in march
Mark it looks better in it being empty. You can just put a plant next to the bed. Maybe put some lights on it. You already have your mirror desk. Seems bit all cluttered. Simplicity and space makes it bigger.
So glad I’m not the only person that’s TikTok is filled with “you need to be doing this” “hot girls do this” “if you do this then you’re xyz” I hate it!! why can't we just let people live
Im older, but have never been on tictok and never will! 😊 i feel the same about this year and winter, i honestly cant wait for summer to come! I love your vlogs Mark, you are a ray of sunshine 🌞😊❤
It’s 4:30am I’m up with my poorly 4 month old and I am crying with laughter at the wardrobe… Mark it’s awful 🤣🤣 that was just what I needed, brilliant 🤣
Thank you for sharing, because I am also in a weird funk all of 2024. I feel like I'm just stuck and trying to push through. Also, don't know if it is the weather here in Canada or if it's because I am trying to get through my uni semester. But I am there with you!
I definitely think social media (mostly tiktok) is causing people to overanalyse everything, what their 'aesthetic' is, whether something is cringe etc. That's why I've never had tiktok and never will lol. Being 100% yourself in this world is super super hard but those that persevere and stay grounded in themselves will attract the energy of similar people and will stand out from the crowd. Things I've been telling myself for like a decade and still feel afraid to be myself 🥴
Social media not real alot of its fake just be who you want to be mark and ignore others your goregous inside and out remember that 💖 love what your saying tho as some people do take social media so seriously and ive never understood why but you are right things have got worse online but i dont follow it have you read any good books im enjoying love on the brain and love your necklace too having a tough year with my life limiting medical condtion but family making it brighter and spending as much time with my grandparents as their getting so fraile 😞and my partner taking me away love you so much mark never change as your so amazing 💖
I remember growing up and always feeling like I didn't fit in but desperately wanted to and I would change who I was and compare myself to others just to try to fit in and I ended up losing myself in the process and not liking who I had become, it was soul destroying honestly but as I have grown up I have learned to stop comparing myself to others and to embrace the weird, geek that I am, i own it and I don't care what others think of me now, I'm happy and I know the friends I have around me now love me for me!
Yeah mark i think you should change the white cubes ! 😂 youre better off getting the kallax cube things from ikea! I know theyre not as customisable but gives the same vibe just better quality!
Mark! So glad to see a new video you make me laugh so much. I know what you mean about social media. Some days i want to delete all my accounts and other days i just try have a break but I've found if you unfollow things you don't wanna look at just try adjust your settings and follow the post that make you feel haopy and positive. 😊❤
LOVE YOU MARK, watching ur videos make me escape reality. Even if you just ramble or make a simple cooking vid it’s great! keep being you and we all love u!!
Your realness is so comforting to me & inspires me to open up more in my content - cause that’s the only way for me to reach “my people” just like you’ve reached yours. But my dear, idk how it is but I think it’s your algorithm. Try searching for content you enjoy and start HEARTING ALL OF THEM!! to change your FYP. I hope this helps
I realized everyone on tiktok lost the plot when someone started selling ANTI WRINKLE STRAWS!!!!! I was so confused, why are we scared of using straws and getting a few lines on our lips when we're old?!
Agree. This year seems to be the year of comparison-itis for me. Lots of things we ‘should’ be doing! Also I don’t like ‘icks’. It’s just a personal preference/like/dislike… we can’t all like the same things! Xxx
I ordered thar exact same cupboard from amazon, it was a menace! Broke apart as soon as it had the smallest amount of weight, I ended up throwing it out after a month hahaha
This is the reason i do not go on tik tok anymore use to be on for hours taking everything in it really does change your mood. Last year was not the best for me so this year new job new focus and trying not to step back going forwards each day xxxx enjoy the blessings you have been given no matter how small x
Since I hit 30, girls in my office have been telling me I need botox and that they're only telling me "to help". Never in my life has my esteem been this low
That’s insane and so rude! I don’t understand people’s needs to change others when it has nothing to do with them, at all. I hope that unsolicited advice doesn’t get to you too much. You do you, love. ❤
I think with social media you can tailor it, you can unfollow accounts you can block and you can say you are not interested in something, you can mute certain words etc. So you can be in control of what you see and don’t see.
Couldn’t agree more with the social media content lately! I’ve created a ‘get out the winter slump/spring clean your life’ vlog and Insta templates to post this evening. To do a positive march challenge to help people add more in there life of what they want/love etc just doing you and what you want type thing to boost us back up!!!!! One of my main things is unfollowing things that do not bring you joy!!!! You bring joy 😂😂 loved this video!!!! Xx
Completely agree! Social media also makes me fear finding new friends and dating because of the whole trying to be perfect or yes the type of icks and do this or don’t do that it’s just upsetting. I think for me RU-vid is where I’m at with social media. People like you mark and others that I subscribe to is keeping me happy and joyful content. So thank you for having your rant because I’m 100% sure people feel the same as well. Loved the video.
Mark, I feel the social media rant so much!! I deleted my Instagram and started over with a new one where I only told a few trusted friends to follow. Now I post whatever I want with no fear of being judged for being cringe and have limited the amount of people I follow so my feed isn’t filled with people trying to influence me. It has been such a relief. I didn’t know how much I was being impacted until it was gone. ❤❤ Also I love that jacket!! It’s great, you’ll find the perfect place to wear it.
There is NO person I want to be friends with more even tho I technically don’t know them. Mark, every video is like a therapy session and surely not just for me. Thank you! Thank you for making my and so many other people feel better about themselves while having a laugh in the meantime haha. ❤
Hi Mark I have been watching your videos for a few years now but have never commented before but after watching your video today I just felt like I had to! I so agreed with everything you said about social media (mainly tiktok) to you or anyone watching the best thing I have ever done for my mental health is deleting tiktok I find my anxiety and overall mental health has improved so much, if you feel like you need to delete it just do it! I appreciate you being so open with your audience
I could imagine that it’s made it harder for you coming off of your high of Volgmas. It was go go go everyday and a sudden stop which I think could make a difference. I hope you find your frequent cheers again. Love ya❤
Always excited when theres a new video from you! That cabinet would be good for like, a laundry room or household storage but yeah I don’t think it goes with your amazing decor! I agree with the social media, I don’t have TikTok anymore because of how angry some videos made me 😅 I think it’s important to also recognize we are all experiencing lots of hate and war in our world right now and seeing that in social media and it’s very traumatic to watch and feel helpless in not knowing what to do…I know that impacts me and I know it’s a privilege as well to be able to “turn off” that stuff. But it’s still there and a very real part of our lives these days!
No one has the power to ‘make you have a bad week’ if you don’t do a certain thing, it’s utter crap. Love your videos Mark, love how real you are. Please, whoever reads this, don’t let some attention seeker make you feel bad xx
Im not sure if others have mentioned it, but next time you see one hold in the video and click not interested or if its one you think is quite damaging to peoples mental health i report and block as false information as its not fair for sure 💕xx
I completely understand mark. My health has been really bad for months now, had loads of infections and asthma attacks, and going online and seeing people’s negativity and putting people down is so… ugh. It doesn’t make me feel better. But I can’t stop going on, especially when I’m stuck inside! Ridiculous cycle isn’t it! Always always love your positivity, acceptance and self love (no pressure tho haha).
I was born in October but I love the spring. I've spent atleast 2 days out of the week since November taking parents to casualty. I feel sorry under 30s with social media.. But I feel this will be good ive already ticked a couple of things off the list.
You should have seen my storage unit choices I made throughout my life, Jesus! 😅 Thank you for being yourself in your videos, it is very refreshing. And I didn't know that you are allergic to dogs!
THANKYOU for talking about the social media negativity oh my gosh!! i have deleted tiktok and slowly weaning off instagram because of those kind of posts. they make me anxious like you said, haven’t seen a content creator mention this so thankyou for doing so!
Ugh I totally agree with the social media rant, the paranoid fuelled posts remind me of the chain spam emails back in the day that would saying stuff like "if you don't forward this to 25 people you'll have bad luck for the rest of the year" or something crazy like that. It disappeared for a while and now we're back!! I think people will just bait for likes/engagement and it's so exhausting being on the other end consuming it. Loved the video Mark! Have a great day/week :)
I completely agree with you on social media. And it really affects my mental health, I also seen the ones where if you like,comment share you will start dating the person you been connected too. 🤦🏻♀️ I’m done with those type of videos. I love watching your videos you are just true to who you are always and you encourage me to be me so thank you so much ❤
Mark, at the point where I was feeling deep anxieties and insecurities on social media, I dramatically changed my relationship with social media and curated by content very carefully. I deleted instagram, twitter, and snapchat years ago. I kept comparing myself to everyone. The only thing I have is tiktok but i block and stop "recommending" videos that I simply do not like. I keep funny and educational stuff. Nothing else. You don't need to be as extreme but definitely do some curating!
I brought one of them storage things and only had my kids clothes in when they were babies and it kept falling down. It wasn't sturdy at all. Sorry mark but I think you're going to regret it Bab x
This year sucks already!! January was horrible and February is no better. I deleted Facebook 6 weeks ago as the new year, new me posts were making me feel horrible. Hope you’re ok xx
I don't have TikTok but I have noticed loads of those "bad luck for a year if you don't share" stickers in instagram. I just ignore them because I know they are bullshit and stupid. I have seen people with OCD hating on them too because they are triggering for them, which is horrible. Not a fan of the wardrobe, but if you end up loving it, then that's the main thing. Great video. Have a wonderful weekend ❤
Sounds like you need to curate your algorithm! Scroll over the anxiety inducing stuff asap and watch the cute vids till the end!! I really feel for you I’ve been there ❤️
Honestly Mark, the start of my year has been so shite, but I met you last week when you bought the paint and it’s just kept me going. We love you so much, you’re always our safe space on social media! 🫶
Alsooo this is so boring and adulty but when mark mentioned he had to book a slot for the tip, this hasn't happened up north yet, is it still free to go, you just have to book a time slot?
