EDIT: I became aware of the situation with Rammstein and allegations of SA currently surrounding the band and its management, I did not know at the time, it is not that I don’t care, I didn’t know. Obviously I will not be wearing the pin and I will be following the development of the allegations ----------------- What is your dream concert experience? 🔥🤘✨
Another show with Aurora or maybe The Kooks for maybe a festival. Lot's of delicious Vegan food and beverages, nice weather, beautiful nature and kind people ✨
I have two dream concert experiences: First, Marina Kaye. Second would be to see Stray Kids; I'd be a bit apprehensive, as they seem to have gotten quite famous lately (I tend to find and enjoy music in isolation and so don't always grasp just how widespread fanbases are) and so I could see where a concert of theirs would be difficult (and very expensive) to get tickets for and difficult to enjoy if people are screaming too much...but they are currently my favorite group and I still want to see them. 🌟
Concert dreams came true several years ago for multiple concerts, to see Robbie Williams front row with Golden Circle Tickets !!!! Saw Mumford&Son twice, they're brilliant on stage.
I love the living alone series! I think I love it especially because of its "raw" & "unplanned" feeling. Thank you as well for sharing your reflections on dating and being in a relationship, I can relate with a lot of it.
BTW... as one of the only people in her friend group who has wound up single... finding yourself to be alone surrounded by pairs doesn't have to be bad. There's a real possibility that something just clicks over in your head and you realise that this is the most awesome possible outcome, even if initially you wanted something different. That is what happened to me, I was about 34 or 35 and I just fell out of love with the whole idea of being paired up. I LOVE having the the extra time and freedom to pursue the things that are the most important to me :) I have good friends and life rocks.
Firstly, I don’t know what the haters are talking about because I have been loving these living alone diaries! It’s one of my favorite series you’ve ever done! Secondly, Nightwish was also my teen emo band of choice 🤘
Hi, I guess I’m one of the ‘haters’… I really really love the informative videos, they are extremely useful for me, I appreciate sometimes something more personal and random but… sometimes! so I wanted just to highlight my personal preference 😊
Don’t you DARE bother explaining yourself (to haters- that I Assure you Still b ‘taking *FREE* notes’ while attempting to diminish your fire 🔥). ALL of your content is on point and GOrgeous!!! I constantly look forward to it ❤ I lUv what you BRING 💫
I can't understand why others are complaining about your videos. I have never had a RU-vid channel but I can only imagine the time it takes to do research, get resources and the entirety of making/ editing a video. People must think you have nothing better to do but entertain them. Don't take it to heart. You will never get all on board no matter what you do. Enjoy life! It goes by too quickly. To those complainers: research topics on your own time, put a video together and see if you get followers. Keep doing what your doing girl. I'm loving it 😘❣️
The fact that you like these bands makes me like you even more. You are so wonderfully different then the people that are normally showcased for sustainability.
Personally I prefer the informal stuff. I find watching someone live their normal daily life but sustainably more motivating and relatable than someone making a list of ideas (though I enjoy and see the value in both of course). Seeing others do many of the same things I do definitely helps because it makes me feel less alone in the effort when so many around me aren't interested in the same.
Let it be known that this is your RU-vid channel and what content you put out is entirely at your discretion. We can either watch or not. Personally, I like these types of vids. For me it provides variety and not the same old same old.
In Germany there is a big debate about Rammstein, not because of the fuel, more because of the current allegations against the band, where a lot of women stood up because they claimed to be sexually and physically assaulted and that parts of the Management and Band were involved. Nevertheless, there is no proof of anything yet. But it became very sensible because the Internet turned it into cancelling and victim blaming. Everyone needs to decide if it is smart to talk about that, but it is definitely good to know that there are some very crazy Fans and some traumatized women around the corner of this Debate.
girl i absolutely adore this series, please don't stop making it! (unless you genuinely don't want to continue it ofc lol). i love your personality, vulnerability and realness - seeing how you live your life with some sprinkles of sustainability (thrifting, home improvements, food, clothes, fixing things, stay-cations etc) because it's just part of your lifestyle feels so much more inspiring to me. mental health, healing, being alone, being comfortable with and having a good relationship with yourself is so important and not talked about enough - it's amazing to make sustainable swaps, but if you don't take care of yourself before trying to save the entire planet it's not a sustainable life - learned that the hard way. also, i love your very-much-not-minimalistic home, style and vibe. i'm a very chaotic-vibes-girlie and i feel like our energy is very similar haha. lots of love xx
Life saver-get a fabric glue and glue patches on the jacket. Then just secure them with some stiches. I sew so many patches back in the day so I know:) also-I used sleeves from a jacket to sew on my torne backpack straps. Edit: just got to the end of the vlog. I looove this style of videos, because I can relate to you in so many ways. The impact can be from a study but personality in vlogs wins for me. Also-don't fear loneliness. I used to and then dived into it and had the best time. Now I just got married to my partner. So there are seasons in life. Also everyone has kids and we are child-free but I embrace the change and also sometimes lack of friends because everyone is to tired:)
definitely relate to what you said about loneliness. I used to enjoy being alone, but then it got lonely. so now I'm currently learning and failing to embrace being alone again ❤ this is why i love your living alone vlogs!!!
Can I just point out the pillows on your couch by the TV. OMGod! I haven't seen those before, I busted out laughing. ASS pillows 🤣🤣🤣 I love it! That's just brilliant. I hope they don't smell like what they say! 😆 I love catching these little details in your videos, I feel like I'm finding an Easter Egg! 😁
Hello from Maine !!! You are such a bright light, thank you for helping me on my low-waste journey, and life! I saw your book at a local Sherman's bookstore couldn't put it down and the universe ironically aligned your youtube channel Thank you for being you, and sharing
I love your channel. I am also old enough to be your mom. You are smart and intelligent, don't ever be afraid to be alone If it is meant to be, it will happen. It was not meant to be for me, as of yet, but, I make the most of what I have been dealt. You are smart and beautiful and will find your happy ending. No matter what. ❤❤❤❤
There will always be someone who thinks you are too much or not enough, and often it's just a reflection of them! Also, the most important relationship is with yourself - I'm in a relationship but I've only felt truly satisfied in myself since I've been building the relationship with myself! Love your content ❤
Just wanted to mention re: the Rammstein pin in case you are unaware that there are dozens of sexual assault allegations against their lead singer at the moment. Many of these recount very similar experiences of girls being systematically led to "pre or after show parties" to have sex with him, sometimes being drugged, hurt or unconscious.
I meet my husband at 23 and we had 20 years together(17of them married) when he past away. I have always been a very independed woman even in my marrige and so was my husband. He died 7 years ago and i have been happily singel since🙂 My son was my nr.1 priority and to make sure he is doing good. He is turning 20 next month and he is an amazing kid. He is so much like his dad especially his humor. I am not looking for someone but if it happens it happens😊 Have a great day🌞
Just popping in to say I really enjoy the living alone series, as it gives a realistic view of daily sustainable life with all it's ups and downs, as well as the thought processes that go beyond the strictly "save the environment" that are triggered by day to day life. I found your reflections on dating interesting as my experience has basically been the opposite. I've had a couple of relationships in my adult life but none have lasted very long and I have mainly been alone, so much so that my cousin was convinced I was Ace. It never really bothered me because a lot of my friends are also not in long term, serious relationships and the paired up ones are a minority. Now I'm in a relationship, about to celebrate our 3rd anniversary this summer, I'm really happy, but I sometimes miss the freedom and spontaneity of being single. I think that's one of the reasons I actually enjoy your living alone series, because I see you creating your own space, your own life and it reminds me that I can do that too, even if I am in a relationship and sometimes have to compromise! Big hug
Hi, thanks for another super exiting and relaxing video and I need to mention: your hairstyle at the beginning of the video is so beautiful, it suits you very well ;*
Girl, oh do I relate to what you said about your time, dating and loneliness. I think it's also so important to keep in mind that acknowledging the extent of what you have the mental, emotional and physical space/time for is really important and many people in the dating scene lack that self-awareness. Let's embrace the chapter we're in as much as we can and glad to get to see snippets of your life xoxo
Save the sleeves for either a quilt square, a Christmas tree ornament, or simply a reusable way of gifting a bottle of wine or fancy olive oil of your choice
I love this type of videos! Also, fellow metalhead on the hunt for a jacket for my patches 😂. Small comment on Sabaton btw, afaik they are not glorifying war, but keeping the memory alive. For me personally there's a difference between those two. Enjoy Copenhell!
You are motivating me to get to work on my battle vest! I took my old one apart. When you talked about metal overlapping with environmentalism, I thought about Gojira right away 😁
Oh Gittemary i totally feel you on the everyone is in a relationship thing and nobody wants to bother with you. I have not really been able to attract someone - their problem not mine..my looks are not all that but I am funny and have a fantastic personality - and the amount of people who will not have anything to do with you either because you are single or because they deem you unattractive is shocking. It leads to one hell of a lonely life let me tell you that never gets better over the years. I am sure you will have a good life on your own terms with or without a partner xxx
Your impacts videos are my favourites. That being said, I really enjoy this kind of video with a more chill vibe while dealing with mental health. That coupled with your positive attitude and big smiles are not only enjoyable but bring freshness when I am in a dark phase. I am sure that plenty of your audience feel the same. You're not forcing the other ones to watch all your videos so thank you very much for your work, all of it!
Hi dearest Gittemary! I just want to say that I love every video of you. I personal really like the variation and balance of the more informative videos and the personal ones like this one. I really like to see how you live your life as a zero waster. It's different for all of us, but these kind of videos shows that you don't have to live the perfect sustainable life. And that sustainable living can be SO many things. Thank you so much for being a huge inspiration for many years! Love, Lis ♥
as a finnish person it's so nice to see ppl loving nightwish! I also remember listening to them when I was a kid haha my mom played their music in the car
i loveeee the vlogs!! every aspect of ur life combined is full of research you've done and now its just second nature how u live. thrifting and saving jars and buying bulk...its all so beautiful to see as i cannot watch people shop from fast fashion stores
Oops, forgot, thanks for your vlogs. I'm learning a lot. Also, reading Badass! OK, I'm going now before this gets creepy! 😂 Hwyl, Taffy Nige from South Wales x
Catching up on your videos is making me miss Scandinavia, was in sweden, norway and denmark for a few weeks this summer. Definitely solidified my desire to get out of the US lol.
Thanks for the honest insight into living on your own. There’s a ton of airbrushed perfect content out there if that’s what people want to watch. Each to their own, but personally your videos are thought provoking and really interesting. 🌼🌼🌼
Looking forward to your cookbook! Your food always looks so good but I’m just not capable of following a recipe through a video or taking notes during a video so I end up missing out on what I think is top notch vegan food! I’m not vegan but I do try to incorporate more vegan food next to the other eco friendly stuff you and other influences have made me do 😘
Thank you so much for this content, I'm not sure who is commenting negative things regarding your videos, but I wanted to state that you help me make smarter decisions in my environment journey, so thank you!
to the people who sy, that your impact videos ae not well researched: then do it better yourself. I love your content and I can tell how much effort you put into your videos.
Omg! Battlebeast is a favourite of mine too! I saw them at Nova Rock and live in Vienna. Love love love! Do you like Amon Amarth? I think you'd love them! ❤️❤️❤️
btw: watched this while eating a bread bun with margerine, scrambled tofu and ketchup and it was the bomb :D saw this im your story andhad to make it, and then it was in the video, too haha
I love these videos as I feel I get a glimpse of your way of incorporate sustainability in your everyday life, and that's really inspiring and motivating! 💛
Love this series honestly! As an italian, don't worry about the pronounciation. :) I love your variation on aglio e olio (traditionally made with only parsley, oil, garlic and peperoncino for those who may not know) will definitely try to make it in the future!
Thank you for letting me know, I have had so many variations of it, also in Italian restaurants, that it is hard to keep track of what is traditional and what is new interpretations, but it is delicious none the less 🥰
Regarding relationships, I see the world differently now. As someone older I can see that the fear you talk of is valid. Its a catch-22. People don't want to be lonely so they couple up, but often who they couple up with is incompatible with them in many ways. But they don't want to be lonely and they want children so they convince themselves its the right decision. Also complicated by a lot of people hiding their true selves until they feel their partner is "locked in" to the relationship with a shared mortgage, children, marriage etc and its not so easy to walk away. Then they let their true colours show. So what I've seen is you can end up with a situation where your friends and family have their headspace taken up with the needs of children, the additional work that causes in the home and juggling a career alongside that too. Aside from this they have no spare headspace due to the stresses of being in a relationship and living with someone who's incompatible with them and their values, the conflict this causes whether overt or covert leaves them drained. So friends get left by the wayside largely and their social circle becomes the parents of their children's friends, because anything else is unsustainable for this phase of their lives. This fracturing of friendships is one of the saddest things in life. Sadly, the divide between those who are single and those who are coupled up, especially if there's children, is real. We think we'll be friends with our friends from our younger days forever, we love them and we all feel invincible, but reality is very few of these friendships last the test of time and most will fade. New friends will be made through hobbies and interests for our current phase of life. Friends come and go from our lives and friendship doesn't always last forever, but this is ok and how its meant to be. The older you get the more effort it takes and the harder it is to turn an acquaintance into a friend. Modeen life is busy and people don't always have room in their lives for more friends. So whilst I agree with you not to couple up through fear of being alone, I also say dont be too busy to let new people into your life because the old ones may not always be there. Its all about balance
You could use the sleeves of your battlevest as a base fabric for self made patches, if you’re into making some yourself. I also enjoy using „scraps“ like these as filling for self made plushies ☺️
19:30 so honest, blunt even but HEAVILY REQUIRED NOWADAYS! People honesty and transparency is the key. As a single 33 year old woman this is so important to me, please dont waste my time. Thanks for sharing!
First of all, loved this video just as all the other ones in this series. I myself live with the kindest, best partner in an appartment but have been finding it difficult to feel good due to not having a job at the moment, so sometimes it feels like living alone during the day. I really appreciate you showing all the aspects of creating your life ♥️ I get very insecure and lonely because of all the professional rejection and struggle with keeping my head up and these videos really help! Secondly, I get the ‘urge’ of having a relationship because of the fear of loneliness; but please know (I’m sure you do but for anyone else who needs to read this) that loneliness and being alone (single) are not the same. At all. You can be lonely in a relationship too, and unfortunately it happens way too often. Finding a good partner is awesome and rare and should be treasured imo, but having good relationships with other people is equally important. I absolutely love your ‘booking a cabin and we’ll see who turns up!’ energy! I aspire to be a friend like you! I hope you continue to find joy in being alone, dating, being with friends and family, working, creating, whatever you fill your life with ❤
Haha, it was so great watching you working on your battle vest and gushing about bands you love! As a long time metal head, I can sooo relate! Never heard about the rule that you can only wear bands you have seen live, that sounds like a silly gate keepy rule. The only (maybe also gate keepy) rules for battle vests that I live by is to sew on the patches yourself and by hand! Never let your mum (stereotypically) do it with a sewing machine! Excited to see the zero waste festival video! Festivals are usually the opposite of zero waste, so I'm looking forward to getting some inspiration from your video! Thanks for acknowledging the situation with Rammstein in the description, I never liked the bad, so not a fan problem for me, but absolutely horribly how the band is handling the accusations in my opinion. I hope they get massive clash back from that.
Saw nightwish and vile valo on a rock festival last week in Austria 😂 going to check out battle beast directly after this video. I think we have a pretty similar taste in music. Loving this series ❤
Gitte, jeg elsker dit content. Har fulgt med i ca 2 år, og du gør det sgu godt! Lad dig endelig ikke hænge i at nogle få synes det ikke er fedt. Det er så vigtigt at checke ind med sig selv, og lave de ting du synes er fede lige nu, og justere efter dine behov as you go. Der skal nok være en gruppe af mennesker der synes lige det du laver lige nu er super fedt. Hav en dejlig festival, og glæder mig til næste video ☀️🎸
first of all: I love this series second: please don´t use that rammstein thing... maybe you haven't heard of the recent allegations at the point you were filming
I think it's good to wear random pins but at least know what it is lol like I have heard a person with Ramones tshirt who thought it was an alcohol brand! Also Ville Valo just had a new album out and did a Europe tour it was great by the way (random af) by the way I really love this series and I hope you will keep doing it! I understand the fear of being alone in the future but entering a relationship just so you won't be all alone is not the best thing. Sometimes being alone, single and doing your thing is the best way to attract what you actually want. Sometimes doing your cooking, crafts, going to concerts and solo trips is much better for your mental health and future life than just being with someone so you won't be all alone.
