I’ve never has an issue with a pre owned bag with an odor, but I bought a bag a few weeks ago, and when it arrived and I saw the size of the box, I was like 😰😱😨. She folded it in half!!!! I almost cried, but I put in an organizer insert and tons of air paper. Then I used my hairdryer on a light setting. After a day or so, it was fine. I know how you feel. Glad your bag is usable!!!

Oh a hair dryer, I have not heard of that?!?! I am so glad that worked...oh no, they folded the bag?!!! That is frustrating when people squish things into boxes...I tend to do the opposite and would rather have the thing have some room, but be well packaged.

You know, it really did. I was to the point where I thought it just might not come out. I was so shocked to open it and find it gone. Maybe I should have stuffed it more in the beginning as the last couple of months I did have it completely filled.

I have found my reading has slowed considerably the last few months. My purchasing however has not😂. I think I have burned out on all the reading challenges and readathons I planned for the year thanks to booktube. I’ve decided to dial this back next year. I’m primarily a mood reader and since I’ve had books planned for each month, it’s beginning to wear on me and slow me down. This has been a great haul, some of these books are so pretty! I read one of Jennifer L.Armentrout’s trilogies. It was YA so it wasn’t too cringey. I don’t primarily care for YA though so I haven’t read any more by her.

You know I don't think I could do any like planning. I am afraid if I tried to set myself up to read something, then I wouldn't want to read it when the time came. I too buy way more than I have time to read. :-)

Thank you for sharing your story! Minks4all was my first KZbinr into luxury as well! I’m glad she is still making content! You brought up some good points in your story. You mentioned your coworker didn’t bring her coach bag to work because it was too nice. You inspired her to start using it. When you start talking luxury brands at work, that can get tricky. You will be judged. When your husband shared the cost of a luxury bag, that’s special! You shared there is a difference between higher end bags v contemporary bags. As there should be. Thank you for sharing how easy it is to go down the rabbit hole when it all starts with just one item.

Yes, I really no longer discuss my handbags at work. Someone may comment about one and I say thank you and then try to end the conversation there. It was easier back when all I carried was Coach. Now I try to save the conversations for youtube. I think it is another huge reason why this community has become so dear to me.
