Best & Worst Buys of 2022 | Yearly Favorites | Aja Dang

[@aznpridebuhhd]

Omg you’re like the first influencer who doesn’t like the always pan. For that I have to say thank you!!! I was tempted by the look and colors, but the price tag always deterred me!

[@nadiarambles]

Often times, influencers are either sponsored by Our Place and/or sent the pans for free so they might be hesitant to share the whole truth. :/ I appreciate Aja's honesty too... I have friends who have purchased the Always Pan and said that the non stick wore off within a year, they also regret their purchase.

[@foojustine]

agree!!! I bought one and it didn't last and is horrible...makes me so annoyed that all these influencers encouraged so many to buy something that don't last which is not just bad for the wallet but for the environment

[@krnphan]

Hi Aja! I just wanted to tell you that you look so happy and amazing!!! You’re so smiley the whole video and look so comfortable talking to us! Hope you’re doing well and cheers to a solo female trip every year!

[@AjaDang]

Thank you so much!!

[@PinkCandySkies13]

I love this type of video because I seriously trust your recommendations. I also really align with your values so I’m always really confident in your favorites.

[@5tephanieOS]

1. THANK YOU for being honest about always pan. and 2. thank you for sharing about the prong collar. its been a game changer for us!!!! and 100% get professional help to use it. a d last love how honest you are ❤❤

[@jesaht3771]

I really love the idea of a solo bachelorette. I wish I did that! I think it's always good to remember, reflect on yourself, and take care of yourself before others. Once going into marriage, it's a partnership and no longer "i" but "we" and "us".

[@tinytarakeet]

one of my favorite videos of the year!!! i've always gotten something from each of your lists and I have soo much faith in your taste xDD Happy New Year, Aja!!

[@AjaDang]

thank you! Happy New Year

[@prettyfaerie7]

aja, happy new year! i love this video every year

[@csantos1995]

the prong collar + our trainer changed our whole life with our dog!! also one of my faves of 2022

[@katherineama]

I did my first solo trip to Sedona, AZ for my birthday after seeing you go on your solo bachelorette trip. Now looking into going to Civana for my next birthday solo trip!

[@noovernightguests]

I appreciate you offering to rent your wedding veil! So generous and kind.

[@sheaintcool]

Your hair is so healthy and shiny 😍 I need to know what products your use

[@tmco-]

I am so excited to see how you like the walking treadmill. I’m on the fence about getting it for my desk. Can’t wait!

[@AjaDang]

I have to say, it takes a while to get used to. I can only do it for 20-30 minute intervals before I get dizzy but people have said you need to build up to it

[@zelohyuung]

Always look forward to your videos! Thanks for another great year of content 💗

[@AjaDang]

thank you!

[@nourshall]

Uhm already ready for the budget spreadsheet 🙋🏽‍♀️🙋🏽‍♀️🙋🏽‍♀️🙋🏽‍♀️ I’ve tried SO many to make them work or make sense of them but nothing has stuck/been applicable - sooo I trust you to come develop the best one! Already readyyyyy 😂❤

[@thelifestylebybudgeting]

I used bio oil when I was prego & it made my belly so smooth I only came out with very very minimal stretch mark. I swear by it!

[@jasminephann4047]

Happy Holidays Aja and I love how you mention the jeans are sooo easy to eat in 😅❤ that’s a win win for me

[@AjaDang]

the only jeans test that matters

[@bambisalazar1559]

Loved your desk. Saw the macrame wall hanging I gave you. 😍 Happy Holidays to you and your family.

[@naomig9849]

"easy to eat in" is so true. reminds me of that tiktok about " sit down jeans =/= standing up jeans" 🤣

[@DebtFreeJessie]

Almost to the part of the year where I write the wrong date. 😅 The wide leg jeans are so comfy! "Easy to eat in." Haha, yes! I've also been loving sun hats. I've been trying to be outside more but want to protect myself from sun damage.

[@samirrzlani2257]

Yes, you are right. I also write the date by mistake

[@AjaDang]

the scratched out 2022's will go well into February lol

[@jennifermin8638]

Filter water system recommendation is Coway! You do have to pay monthly but they come and install a the machine that has cold, room temp, and hot water! Downside is that it is a bit bulky. But installation is really easy. They just connect it with your waterline in your kitchen!

[@AjaDang]

I was thinking of something like that too but it's a bit pricey

[@f.corona6864]

I’m interested the the excel spreadsheet! Looking forward to see what you come up with!

[@pri.sci.lla.]

You’ve got to season a carbon steel pan like a wok for it to be nonstick

[@เชชช-จ8บ]

So MANY of the episodes are bangers

[@cigdemde1491]

I watched three Aja videos today 🎉

[@AjaDang]

GASP!!!

[@cigdemde1491]

@@AjaDang hey, I’m happy about it ! A nice way to finish the year and to start getting organized ☺️🤓

[@Ribbonnest]

Where is the treadmill from

[@RandiAsh7]

Love this list! So unique. Do you mind sharing the walking treadmill you got? I’m on the market for one and can’t decide.

[@nuggetboop1284]

Hi Aja! This question is totally not related to the video, but do you journal? You’re one of my inspos when it comes to goal setting ❤️

[@AjaDang]

I goal set but don't journal per se

[@mynameisreb]

Where is your shirt/dress from? It’s so cute!

[@primrosed2338]

Your list is so eclectic hehe

[@vivalaflav]

I heard mixed reviews about the bio oil as it doesn't contain a whole lot of vitamin E but if it makes you feel good that matters!

[@AjaDang]

I just like it because it makes my skin feel realllllly soft.

[@vbutterfly11]

@ajadang i am thinking of doing a solo trip next yr too but concerned about budget. Maybe you can do a video with other locations? Just a thought? Love your channel happy new year!

[@AjaDang]

in general I would do a staycation - somewhere that's drivable so you don't have to buy a ticket and find a hotel that's in your budget!

[@ConnieOBrien]

Love your videos! You inspire me :)

[@jaimeyazzie8362]

Where did you get your desk lamp? I’ve been looking for a super cute one for my standing desk 😊

[@AjaDang]

Target. It’s old though

[@jana3859]

Where is the shirt you’re wearing from? I love the sleeve length!

[@AjaDang]

It’s a dress from COS

[@Emseebee123]

I Am always on the lookout for a good wood bowl. With it being acacia wood does it have a foul smell. I feel it’s a hit and miss for me and I’m not sure why. I have a few acacia pieces and when I use it smells like poop lol so I’m always hesitant to buy it because it’s so random.

[@AjaDang]

My bowl does not smell at all

[@Porcelynnn]

Team rent the veil hahaha!

[@kellnicorn]

Have you tried the brand Neiwai? I heard they make comfy undergarments and I’m curious about your thoughts 😮

[@AjaDang]

I have not heard of them before!

[@laurenwoo7947]

Hi Aja! Would you consider renting your wedding dress 😍

[@dnwalkingoneggshells]

where did you get your shirt from?

[@AjaDang]

it’s a dress from COS

[@kimlee4176]

Ive always wanted the Always pan for aesthetics and I keep talking myself out of them bc people who can actually cook KNOW those pans SUCK.

[@lexyarnall]

I hated my always pans after 3 months and am always so confused how they don't get more negative press

[@dapperlygrungy3189]

Is your Mom with United. She holds Sydney out of LAX. I probably know her...LOL.

[@thekristineway]

i also reappy like hexclad brand!!

[@Sandy83]

OK I dont have to buy the our place pans then, I never understood how they could replace all my pans.

[@AjaDang]

no, stay away.

[@amandaplease9403]

my worst buy of the year is invisalign 😂 people don’t talk enough about how horrible it is (yes, i’ve had braces).

[@AjaDang]

Omg really? How come? I loved my Invisalign

[@WinnieK97]

You should get a bigger monitor- at least for me it was a game changer!!

[@AjaDang]

I 100% want to but it ain’t in the budget ATM

[@crystallbell]

I thought I was the only one who felt that way about the always pan!! I still use mine, but it has a permanent burn stain. Non stick my ass 😹

[@AjaDang]

yaaaa… it’s horrible

[@juarez24x]

Always Pan is the worst purchase I’ve made .

[@fairlyplum]

💛💛💛

[@Archmaya]

If you have children, a daughter, you can save the veil for her.

[@AjaDang]

I definitely could.

[@alexmcginness8859]

Scanpans are my favorite pans. Check them out and thank me later. 💕

[@Tramarind]

❤

[@danishmodern55]

that dog collar is just plain cruel .

[@interpretrebekah]

YES thank you I also just threw away my always pan because it's TRASH and it was making me so mad and frustrated everytime I cooked. thank you for the made in recommendation - looking into these pans as replacements STAT! 🤎
