I am a new subscriber to your channel.. I am also in the field of education, and I really love the authenticity that you bring to your channel.. Your openess and willingness to share your emotions & feelings is something refreshing.. There is absolutely nothing wrong with you & I believe that we put our own timing on things but in reality we do not have that power to control timing. You deserve to trear yourself & just be happy with where you are .I believe in celebrating every aspect of your own personal journey.. Your story is still being unfolded.
Thank you and I am so happy you found my channel. I think you are so right. I have spent a lot time feeling "behind" based on my own timeline and not realizing that timing is not always something that can be controlled. I am working towards to change that mindset and I can feel the positive effects in my life already. Thanks for watching!
Oh my gosh! 41?!?! You look AMAZING, girl! Could you upload a beauty routine? What are your secrets? (Aside from great genes! 😉) And happy birthday! You deserve it all! ❤️
Aww thank you! My beauty routine is so basic, I gotta give credit to drug store skin care. Maybe I will film something like that if people are interested.
Giiiiirrrrllll me and you both. I'm 41, single, Never been married, no children. I've decided the same thing.. I'm just living my life.. No waiting for anything.
This video really inspired me and warmed my heart. I’ll be 30 in 2 months and I’ve definitely been wanting a Neverfull for many many years. I’m thinking I’ll start this tradition for myself. Thank you for this video!!! ❤️
I could not love this more! I must have said Yes Girl! a hundred times. You articulated so much of what I feel as a single teacher nearing 40. I hope this is the first of many more happy purchases!
Amazing! Beautiful purchases!!! I enjoyed your video and it’s so neat because I am currently six months from my 40th birthday and actually saving for my first Louis purchase as well.
Thank you for showing this video and being open and personal ,that was beautiful and refeshering to see.You absolutely deserve whatever you want to buy. Happy Belated Birthday! God Bless 💖
Happy belated birthday. Girl live life to the fullest, I buy what I want, and I travel when I want. Don't worry about being single and unmarried. I have been married and now I'm single ,and I'm living my best life. Mr right will eventually come along, but for now enjoy your labor.
Finding your channel just made my day today. I’m 35, never married and have no children. The looks and comments I get when I tell people that never seem to change. Don’t feel alone because it’s many of us out here going through the same thing. Enjoy your Louis pieces and don’t apologize for it. ❤️
Thank you! I am glad you found me. It can be frustrating feeling like you have to explain your life to people, but I know that the way that I am living my life is what is right for me. It is always good to know that I am not alone out there when it comes to the frustrations of explaining your single life. Have a great Sunday!
I, too, just decided to start treating myself to luxury items. It feels good and WE DESERVE IT. Don’t wait until the new school year to start wearing your items. Enjoy life and all that it has to offer NOW. Happy Belated Birthday!!
I am married but i love what you said about treating yourself and living even if your single. I was single for many years and struggled with it. Thank you for your kind and uplifting words. ~ blessings to you. ...
One of the best life realizations that I have had. Yes, there are things that I still desire in life, but I have to also remember to live life and enjoy it.
First time on your channel. Congrats 🎉 you owe no explanation to anyone. I work full time in IT, wife and mommy to 3. I just treated myself this past birthday. I took am amazing solo trip to Paris (a long time dream) and on that trip I got 3 LV items (purse, wallet, scarf). No regrets. Just have to hustle harder. ❤️ There is a misconception (especially as a mom) that you should never treat yourself. Wrong. Self love is important too (within reason) and my family is better for it.
First, hello and welcome to my channel! I totally agree with you what you said. Obviously, I don't have a family, but I am a firm believer that a woman needs to take care of herself and treat herself every now and then for the greater good of the family. I also love what you said about simply hustling harder, that is the motto I live by when I want to be able to afford to do certain things.Your treat to yourself sounds amazing! Thanks for watching!
Beautiful pieces! Congratulations on all your accomplishments, happy birthday, and many more to come. One piece of advice - however tempting it is, don’t store your bags in the boxes. The lack of airflow can cause the canvas to dry out and eventually crack. Great video! 😇
YES! Exactly what she said ⬆️⬆️⬆️. I was told at the LV store the same. I wish o. Liked keep them stored in the boxes, so much easier and prettier but not advised.
Congrats!!! That’s my favorite print. So classic. Everything you picked is beautiful. But ya, don’t keep in the box, just the dust bag. They need to breathe.
I didn't even have to watch the first second and you got a thumbs up from me!! YOU ALWAYS DESERVE TO TREAT YOURSELF! Girl, when you said "I am....." I assumed you would say 30 years old... new subscriber!
Congratulations!! Happy Birthday 🎂🎁🎈 I have this bag and I absolutely love it 🥰 You work hard and you deserve it and your other new LV’s. You are an inspiration 😊❤️
I am definitely INSPIRED! I also struggle sometimes with being a single teacher in my late 30s and not quite where I thought I would be by this point in my life. But I feel very blessed to be a woman in this day and age who does not necessarily have to be linked up in order to survive and thrive in life. That being said, life is a brief and precious gift. So, when we have the wiggle room, we should have no qualms about treating ourselves. Thanks a million for this vid, Ms. LaTonya!
I am right there with you. There is such freedom and satisfaction in knowing that you can provide for yourself. I am willing to wait for just there right person and in the meantime date myself.
You totally deserve it, girl! We teachers tend to neglect ourselves, but we shouldn't. I hope you enjoy your bags a lot and for a long time! Big hugs for your birthday!
Congrats 🎉🎈🍾🎊!!!! Enjoy your purchases and live your life to the fullest!!!! I love watching your channel and I’m inspired/motivated by your accomplishments.
Happy birthday! 🎁I’m happy for you not just because of the purchase but your awakening to let yourself be treated to something very nice! Thank you for sharing your experience. 😀
Good for you girl! I'm a teacher too and just treated myself to my first Louis Vuitton handbag!!! We deserve it!I felt the same way as you. I was waiting for some moment where someone else could get it for me but I found a sense of accomplishment in purchasing it myself and knowing I didn't need someone else to buy it for me.
Happy Birthday Lady! I’m happy for you and applaud your hard work. You do deserve this and more. Whoever is lucky to find you as a wife will truly find a good thing. Wear your beautiful LV items in health!
Happy Birthday 🎂🎉🎊🎈🎁 You deserve to treat yourself. Just bought my first in store purchase! I am single & 71! I have heard not to store in boxes due to the trims!🎈🌹❤️
Happy belated birthday. You look amazing for 41! You absolutely deserve to treat yourself when you feel like it. You are making your own money, supporting yourself so there’s absolutely nothing wrong with buying yourself a luxury item.😊❤️
So glad that I stumbled upon your page today! Your honesty and energy that you bring to your channel. I’m excited to catch up on your videos this weekend! 💃🏽💃🏽
Good for you! I’m a single 43 year old middle school teacher with no kids. I bought myself a Mercedes when I turned 40. Continue to live your best life!!! No apologies!
I enjoyed this video! I’m single, no children in medical school. One day I wish to reward myself as yourself! Congratulations everything looks lovely❤️🙏🏾
Congratulations on your birthday presents to you! They are beautiful and I love the card you wrote to yourself. You deserve a treat for all of your accomplishments. I bought my first Louis Vuitton 2 years ago... as a retirement gift to myself ( I was also a teacher.) My story is a little different than yours. I married & had kids... lusted after luxury goods but never thought they were anything I could justify. Then I thought ... you know , I work hard, it’s what I want and I can afford it. So two years later, I have four luxury bags and three small leather goods. My regret is that I didn’t do this a bit sooner. By the time you are my age, you’ll have quite a collection!
You deserve whatever you love in life. I had an uncle, my favorite who was dying at the time and I didn't realize he was. His words to me were, never live life wishing you should've. Don't put off what your heart desires. Most importantly live! Live life to the fullest. When we had that conversation, I didn't understand why he was saying those things. It wasn't until 2 weeks later he passed away that I understood. Happy belated 🎂🎈🎉 Enjoy love enjoy life! Love the video.
Hey LaTawnya!! My older son and I just watched this and we laughed at the end when you said "..live vicariously through me..." because he literally said that very statement as to why he loves watching high-end unboxing videos. He owns a Gucci bag and feels the same about putting it back in its packaging for storage when it's not in use. Thank you for being so articulate and open. You are a joy to know and watch.
Hey friend! Your son and I are the same person then. Those items will live in their dust bags and and boxes when they aren't being used. I am about to order a purse hook because I don't even want this bag to touch the floor. I am so going to miss working with you. I am being so honest when I say your friendship is one of the things that gave me a certain sense of comfort over the past couple of years. We are going to be friends whether we work together or not, there's no getting rid of me now.
Happy Belated Birthday and thank you for sharing your story. I'm also a career woman, never been married, no children, I'm 50 and living my best life. As you said, I am also living my life right now and in God's timing, all things will come together. Have a blessed day!!!
Thank you! I have been learning that if I focus on my real life in the current moment and not the life I thought I would have, I am much happier and feel a certain sense of peace.
OMG...I have all three of those too! I 💓 the damier ebène print. 🤗 I didn't get them all at once, but decided like you...I'm going to treat MYSELF! (I have a few other pieces too 😄) Life is short and we're worth it! I hope you decide to pull your items out the boxes and actually ENJOY THEM though. Please don't wait for the "right time" or "right occasion". Enjoy the fruits of your labor. I actually love my graceful more than my speedy...it's great when traveling too. Congratulations and Happy Belated Birthday, doll.
You've got great taste girl...lol! I am going to be brave and just start enjoying my bags. Thanks for watching and I am looking forward to adding a Speedy to my collection.
Hi, I just wanted to say that I had no choice but to subscribe after hearing your intro, you are very well spoken and have great energy. Happy birthday and congratulations on your purchase and thank you for sharing it with all of us. I am also a teacher and RU-vidr 😊 I look forward to seeing more of your content. 👍🏻
Hello and I am glad to have you as a subscriber AND you're a fellow teacher. Thank you for the birthday wishes, and I am glad you enjoyed the video. See you in the next one!
I just came across your video. Love your authenticity, everything you said resonated with me...so happy for you. I will subscribe to your channel. Happy Belated Birthday and congrats on your luxury pieces. All the best! :-)
Happy Birthday Lady. I love you thought process. Tomorrow is not promised so what are we waiting for? I too always talk myself out of big ticket items trying to be frugal because when I did encounter a major setback I found out for real for real that I'm all I got. But yes we need to celebrate life and I've been baby stepping myself into indulging my desires. Enjoy your purchases Queen!!!!
We always have to make sure that we are taken care of and we can provide for ourselves so I get it. Glad to hear you are allowing yourself to take some baby steps.
It’s beautiful! Thank you for sharing your unboxing of something so significant to you and your words of enlightenment. I do enjoy your approach to things and enjoy how you gave it a personal and meaningful reflection. Enjoy!
Wow!!! I needed this video! I get so tired of hearing..”how are you 30 with no kids and no man?!?” Makes you feel like you aren’t good enough as a person! I bought my first LV 2 days ago and it gets delivered on 4/7! I love this sooo much! I’m a nurse and bust my ass to take care of my patients and it was time to treat myself ❤️❤️❤️
I’m glad this video found you! Sounds like you had the same epiphany I did. We work hard and we deserve to be treated to something nice every now and then even if we are forced to do it for ourselves. Enjoy your new purchase!
Congrats!!! Enjoy it! Don't wait for a man to buy you what you want!! You deserve the world.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾I have the Sarah wallet and I love it. 💙 Happy birthday!! 🎉🎊🎁🍿🎈💐
I love this!!🎂. First of all...Happy Birthday!!! I have been watching you for a while and I am so impressed that you did this for yourself!! Let me just say...I am so impressed with you ...your style, your work ethic, your professionalism, and your spirit. You deserve that beautiful bag and accessories! Can’t wait to see what you get next year.
Happy Birthday! You deserve to treat yourself to special things. Loved all your items. I’ve heard from lots of LV collectors on you tube that it’s not good to store the items in the boxes. Storing in dust bags is ok but they can’t breath in the boxes and they can get ruined. Enjoy them all.
Congratulations!!!! Trust me this is your first but it won't be your last. Trust me La Tawnya these luxury items are addictive! You certainly deserve it. You've made some great choices.
You know me well! I already have started making a wish list so I know what I need to start saving for. BTW, thanks for being one of my original and first supporters, we've made it to 10,000. Hoping to make it to another 10,000 with great supporters like you!
@@SmartieStylelr La Tawnya, I've been meaning to congratulate you for making it to 10,000 subscribers but I've been so darn busy! It goes without saying that I've believed in the value of your channel from the very start! I'm elated that you've reached 10,000 and I will be here with my pom poms when it gets to 10,000,000. Some other things I've been meaning to say are... happy belated birthday, good luck on your upcoming procedure and congratulations on your move to middle school. You are truly a sweetheart! XOXOXO
You are so deserving!!! Such a beautiful person and soul. This video made me subscribe!!! I too am without children and a career woman and people have plenty of opinions about it. But I’m so glad you don’t let it get to you. Everyone’s timing is different. Much love and respect to you. ♥️
Tierney DeShaè thank you so much for the kind words! Some days I let it get to me, but I’m learning to just keep my head held high and be proud of my path in life. It sounds like you’re doing the same. Keep it up! 💛👊🏾
Congratulations! I’m trying to convince myself to bite the bullet and make my first official purchase. I’m 42, married for half my life, and we have no kids. We’ve worked hard and have saved. Thinking it’s time to splurge, especially after this crappy year. Now to decide which one to buy! Your purchase is lovely!
I’m so glad I subscribed to your channel! Happy Birthday and congratulations on your beautiful LOUIS VUITTON!!! She is amazing!!! Thank you for sharing your heart with us and for sharing your unboxing with us!!❤️❤️❤️
Maam...this is a big part of self care! You deserve it❤ I've been stashing all of my tutoring money. Im leaving middle school after 20 years and heading to a higher calling...ELEMENTARY! I plan to treat myself this summer for my back to school bag.
Sounds like we are both getting ready for a major switch. I'm leaving elementary to go to middle school. Ain't nothing wrong with a nice back to school purchase.
