how to beat winter (a guide for the girlies) ✩⍣¯·.¸¸.·✩·.¸

[@painedpainfulpain]

oh my god I was literally just whining about my seasonal depression earlier 😭😭

[@hyperdrivedoll2097]

Wait..... you are cool. (articulate, reassuring, funny, etc)

[@basementgrrrl]

thank you 🧚🏻💕

Not a Girlie but someone who finds this time of year hard and is not into Christmas! I love finch. I'm leaning into the seasons these days and I love seasonal decor so I'm making nice dehydrated orange slice curtains for a window and I have some leaves I've collected I'm putting in an autumn wreath, I'm getting back into my Morning Pages, now would be a great time to do The Artist's Way actually if you haven't already. I'm leaning into the death of the year, learning my family history and I want to visit my ancestors graves and pretty them up a bit. I love cosy gaming too I have this game at the moment called The Garden Path which is really relaxing and am getting into colouring I got myself a yule colouring book in order to cope with Christmas season which is always the hardest time for me. Also working on some crochet projects. Recommend all of the above!

[@basementgrrrl]

@@steph5630 no need to be a girl! I am glad you found ways to make this time nicer for you🌱

[@LeeLee_555]

Ayyyyy, crochet projects! Honestly, taking on fiber arts was the best thing this year, more cozy in winter and more reasons to get out of the house in summer, because knitting in the park is DIVINE. 🥰

Much needed with the current weather in Luxembourg And yes the three fingers, I always think of it when people don’t do it with the thumb 😄

you have a really nice voice idk how to explain

[@basementgrrrl]

@@23__agv that‘s such a nice compliment, thank you🥹 i dislike hearing my own voice when editing ☠️

The weather has been so gloomy and foggy where I live (Germany). Yesterday I was walking past a playground and the little toddlers were playing and laughing like it didn’t even matter. I wanna be like that…but I’m also not a toddler so I‘ve been decluttering my old school binders. I just wanna get rid of everything unnecessary in my living space. It’s a nice indoor activity that wouldn’t be as enjoyable in the summer when the sun is yelling at me to go outside. So yeah thank you for this video! I started getting sad that it’s the beginning of winter now and we got all the gloomy coldness still ahead of us. But your video made me feel like we’re in this together

[@basementgrrrl]

We def are in this together, i am in germany too😀 If you want some childlike joy, try the koawach Kakao, it’s saving my life 🥹💕

[@Katputze]

@@basementgrrrl I went by your recommendation and tried koawach today! And DAMN 4€ for 100g?! It tastes alright, definitely drinkable. And it seems to be a great choice for people who don’t like coffee or energy drinks.

[@basementgrrrl]

It’s SUPER expensive for that little! I seriously wrote them an email once asking why their packaging is so big for so little product and they replied that it‘s a safety measure to ensure the quality 🥸 And the price is justified by the guarana in it… it‘s def a treat if you like hot choc, but not a weekly purchase 🧚🏻☠️

[@meghane3477]

Finch is so awesome! I've had it since June. Some days I don't complete all of my tasks, but it still has helped me keep track of brushing my teeth and other self care things! And I used to feel so pressured to go out and do things, despite it being cold. It's hibernation time! I shouldn't feel bad! Thank you for this 🫂 I really like your videos!

[@basementgrrrl]

take care meghane💕🌱

[@DhanyaJB]

[@dzrmgkva]

I started coping with seasonal depression using retail therapy, i guess im shopogolic now💁‍♀️

[@basementgrrrl]

[@PaigeCrystatiaaa-ii6hj]

I love ur vibe! And ur name reminded me of riot grrl genre, I’m gonna be so honest… ur so honest and helpful, honestly one of the most helpful KZbinrs I’ve watched, that actually gives good advice.

[@basementgrrrl]

@@PaigeCrystatiaaa-ii6hj thank you so much💕

[@MiaJansen-z5j]

Slay girl

[@sunnyrain8403]

Your look is very cool, almost as cool as the wind in the winter where I live 😔When I feel that ice against my face I rethink my life choices that led me to living where I live. Jokes aside yeah, dress warm, dress cute and both can coexist.

[@basementgrrrl]

@@sunnyrain8403woah thanks💕 Stay warm there! ☠️

[@flxwercxrpse1871]

Im trying to beat this dry winter skin!😭😭😭 my lips are chapped as hell and i have tried healing ointment, aquaphor, vaseline, manuka honey lip balm :( nothing helps

[@basementgrrrl]

@@flxwercxrpse1871 mine are also « naturally » chapped and drinking tons of water is helping 🥲

[@everythingisokkkk]

I slapp on a bunch of hylaronic acid over my 2 layers of vanicream, only thing that helps my dried out Sahara skin

[@ohhstonee]

these are all really good tips! i was thinking about making a video like this, but i live in florida so i have a skewed understanding of winter... it's still 80°F here haha but the worst thing that gets me is it being dark at 6 pm! i have no time to go on trails after work and i get sooo sleepy so early ):

[@basementgrrrl]

@@ohhstoneeMaybe make a beat the heat video? Hang in there :)

[@ilseleontine]

i really wanted to know what you were going to say about 3 and christopher waltz xD

[@basementgrrrl]

@@ilseleontine I was about to ask if anyone else struggles with showing 3 on their fingers since watching Inglorious Bastards because of that scene where the Nazihunters get found out! Waltz recognizing that they aren‘t german because of the fingers they used 🥹

[@ilseleontine]

@ ah okey!! thank you for telling 😻 i always think of this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/rp6xl4iLe6aWotksi=tbC5TkN-hFRLN31l of using those three fingers 😅

[@basementgrrrl]

@@ilseleontine LMAO i forgot about Zappetaria La Ballerina 😭🥹
