I Prioritised Travel Over Work in 2024 + 2025 Life Reset *lost money*

[@Coolcat97x]

I am such a hoarder and I had a real issue with clothes shopping, because the amount of things i owned was so ridiculous, I set myself a little rule...to only buy clothes on vinted, using my vinted balance from clothes I've sold so I'm never using my income AND it helps keep the items in rotation😊 definitely gives me an incentive to get stuff posted and sold, so I can get the money in my pot to buy something I want! Happy new year, Demi. I hope its a really lovely one x

[@DemiDonnelly]

Love this for you!! Good luck! Happy new year xxxx

[@carly885]

My goals are drink water, do some exercise and limit social media time, mainly with the aim of looking after my mental health 🎉😊 happy new year 🥰🥳

[@DemiDonnelly]

Yes the water is one of mine too *as I’m sat drinking Pepsi* 😳 😂 ♥️♥️

[@BecciBex]

The only resolution I’m doing this year is to stay consistent with the things I do.. because I struggle a lot with consistency being adhd, I hop from one thing to another without completing the previous thing. So consistency is my goal this year!

[@DemiDonnelly]

Oh god this is so so so me, at this point I feel it’s just never going to change. You go girl you that this ❤

[@debmansbridge3923]

Demi whatever you vlog for us will be authentically you and that’s what I love , for me a shopping addiction is also a problem so please please let us follow your journey and hopefully it will help me ❤

[@DemiDonnelly]

Thanks for the lovely comment. Yes I will definitely keep up to date with things in the vlogs ❤

[@rachelkowald8225]

Happy new year Demi. I have similar goals in terms of mindful spending, focusing on mental and physical health and trying to widen my experiences, definitely enjoy the vlogs so looking forward to that!

[@DemiDonnelly]

Love this! In it together girl - happy new year ❤

[@daniellerobertson506]

Happy New Year Demi. All the best for 2025 and the goals you’ve set yourself. I’ve been watching for 6 years now and you’ve come such a long way, rooting for you every step of the way 🩷

Happy New Year Demi 🎉 I've been watching you on here since before you gave up your regular job for KZbin full time. I love watching the vlogs, it feels like -me- time & a break in the day

[@DemiDonnelly]

Ah thank you so much and I’m so glad that makes you feel like your time. Plenty of vlogs coming x

[@EskimoKissesX]

My aim is to survive the year, my first year without my Mum who suddenly passed away in April.

[@DemiDonnelly]

i'm so so so sorry to hear this - sending you love x

[@EskimoKissesX]

@DemiDonnelly thank you x

[@JenS-dm8sy]

Sorry to read this 😢every year I struggle so much. My daughter Belle was born nearly 17 weekly early in November 2020 & at 10 days old she passed from sepsis. Xx

[@sweetlikehoneycomb3690]

So sorry for your loss x

[@theresawinder7403]

I used to shop out of boredom years ago. Now I'm more disciplined it now bores me and I have no patience for it. I now only buy when I really need and shop my wardrobe more x

[@DemiDonnelly]

Love this!?

[@sharonlyon6512]

Happy New yr Demi, would love to see more vlogs, with your mum and Brad x

[@DemiDonnelly]

Happy new year to you too! For sure I really want to spend more time with family this year so this can happen 100%

[@rebeccaalicebyrne1516]

So happy about their being more vlogs 🎉 they’re my favourite, I love anything food related too!

[@DemiDonnelly]

Ah love this!! I can defo include more food segments - good to know ♥️

[@itsj-fo8502]

Happy New Year lovely. I’m trying to do no spend January; since having my kids I’ve gone from buying random stuff I don’t need for myself to buying too much for my two kids. I want to sell more on Vinted and I’m losing weight (2 stone down and a fair few to go) so I’m happy I’m on the right track with that. Enjoying chit chat content, it’s what first drew me to your channel years ago when I watched a tidy my bedroom and decorate my room with me when you were living at home xx

[@rach.2489]

Happy new year! I can’t personally relate to shopping addiction, but I imagine going cold turkey might be tough. Maybe trying a ‘one in, one out’ rule could help like selling or donating something before buying something new. Or even setting a weekly budget might make it more manageable. Either way I’m sure you’ll smash it! I’m excited for the vlogs - they are my favourite anyway!

[@DemiDonnelly]

Happy new year and thank you so much xxx

[@jemmacook4385]

Happy new year Demi Here’s to a fabulous 2025! 🎉❤

Same to you beautiful ❤

I would definitely love to see the shopping addiction journey documented, good luck!

[@DemiDonnelly]

Thank you will do this!!

[@spud6195]

My goal for this year is to simply live it to the fullest. Last July I was diagnosed with a health condition that is VERY limiting and I know my body will continue to worsen as time goes on so this year I'm doing all the things I want to do but have put off or been too scared to do. First on that list is some travel with my eldest daughter who turns 18 this year, we are going to Cologne for her birthday and we're both very excited about it (but nervous since she's never been on a plane and I've never had to book and organise a trip before)

[@DemiDonnelly]

I’m so sorry to hear about the diagnosis - I myself want to bring this mindset into the new year. Life is far too short! Sending love for 2025 your way x

[@Xx-mg7hu]

Happy New Year Demi!! 🎉🎉 Love your videos, you are so lovely 😘 Sending Huge Hugs x x

[@LyndsayEmyle]

Thanks for sharing such valuable information! I need some advice: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?

[@loukiley561]

But what an amazing year you had. And wow 2025 will be amazing ❤

[@DemiDonnelly]

Really did - I’m so fortunate

[@carolhotaddey]

My aim is to be more active when my back allows. Stop buying unnecessary items ( not going well lol) De clutter the house, made a massive dent in it only got my make up and three kitchen cupboards and all the kitchen drawers to do. So proud of myself . My backs playing up, I’m due my cortisone injections but nhs is behind again, should have them every three months, lucky if I get 2 in a year .

[@jemma-joon]

I don't really set goals, 2024 I bought my house, this year I'm hoping to be able to pay half of my mortgage. No travel plans until I hit my target 😢

[@DemiDonnelly]

Oh wow that’s a big goal! Well done on the house buy - happy new year x

[@jemma-joon]

@@DemiDonnelly honestly you really motivated me to buy the house ❤️

[@vickident5762]

OOoo, I've guessed the reason your losing weight before a certain date as you've mentioned before the reason why that would be. Happy new year and happy wedding planning.

[@DemiDonnelly]

Thanks so much same to you lovely! I just don’t want to mention yet incase things don’t go ahead etc but I will talk about it soon ♥️♥️

[@mariewynne390]

My goal this year is to step out my comfort zone and dedicate the year to work on my mental and physical health, growing my hair, drinking water, eating better etc ❤

[@DemiDonnelly]

Love this!!!

[@chloes4561]

Reduce my screen time & take better care of my body (skincare, wash my hair more & prioritise sleep)

[@DemiDonnelly]

The taking better care of my body was me last year and it makes the world of different to mental health. If you don’t already use a body lotion I love love love them after last year x

[@jessbaldwin]

My main goal is definitely to save more money this year. xx

[@DemiDonnelly]

Yes gal we got this ♥️

[@babypink56]

my goal is to leave my night shift job & focus on my sleep / mental health 🩵

I have an idea of what might be happening at the end of February - will be interesting to see if I'm right 🙃

[@lolli_]

Try slicing the black olives & making a homemade pizza, i find them much better cooked. Or in a pasta sauce but slice or half them first 😊

[@DemiDonnelly]

Oooo sounds good! Thank you

[@janethughes9541]

Just a hint being vegetarian is not necessarily healthy, do you know what is actually in these processed vegetation foods. Fresh would possibly be better health wise.

[@battledroid513]

I think its going to be difficult balancing the concept of 'project pan' or even no buy when you get clothes sent to you from companies, as it may be hard to balance it when you show us! Especially as we are on this journey with you it will be then weird to see huge hauls of clothes from companies to you when you are being more mindful yourself on shopping. Maybe there could be different ways to work with companies, or different companies. Also it may cause you to feel the need to go out and spend, when you get the big hauls sent free by companies, it may be difficult for your pursuit at controlling your urge to buy. This getting free stuff from companies, may even be one of your triggers, to be able to replicate that feeling of having a big load of stuff, which you can enjoy but also make content on - it could be your addiction is entwined with your job, so its an incredible double edged sword! But it will interesting how you will navigate this! I know you still need to do what you need to do for your money. This is in no way a negative comment, just commenting on what you were saying. I wish you good luck! xx

[@DemiDonnelly]

I completely understand this - it’s definitely a one to think about this year and look into things going forward on how I can tackle this. Thanks for your insight x

[@Alis-Nicola]

If there’s something I see online that I like..I’ll write it down in a notebook and give myself a time frame, say a month. Usually I’ll have forgotten all about it by then. 😅

[@DemiDonnelly]

Honestly this is what I need to do seems amazing

[@itsj-fo8502]

I’d love to see organisational vlogs or creative ways to use up things that we don’t need but have already bought - repurpose etc. I am planning to start with the million cleaning items I have 😂

[@DemiDonnelly]

Love this idea!!

Happy New Year Demi x

[@janethughes9541]

Just my opinion but buying clothes and then selling them on either vinted or eBay I don’t agree with it for afew reasons.

[@DemiDonnelly]

That’s fine not asking if you agree with it or not 🙃

[@carlossebastiannecroticgot7232]

Yes travel is more important than work 😂

[@DemiDonnelly]

Last year it 100% was my priority hahah

[@kaz6655]

You could always do fitting room try on vlogs then you don’t have to buy anything

[@DemiDonnelly]

Love this idea!!

[@jemma-joon]

I was looking for frozen blueberries 350g, in asda it's 2.65, in tesco it's 2.25. I thought asda was cheaper 🤔

[@DemiDonnelly]

Oh wow - interesting I wonder which is actually cheaper x

[@FavouriteMercy0]

I’ve been watching for like 8 years now?? So long, I remember your OG bedroom before its mini makeover haha. Does anyone know a good vegan diced beef for beef stew? I really miss making beef stew.

[@DemiDonnelly]

Wow! 8 years!! I can’t say I’ve come across a vegan beef for a stew but if I do I will let you know. Although it’s expensive the juicy marbles steak is unreal - I think it would also be fab in a stew? X

[@FavouriteMercy0]

@ thats great thank you. Yeh I remember even commenting your bed should move to back wall and vanity behind door for more window light for it 🤣🤣. I’ve loved your channel, its growth and yours :)

[@katherinebrown8939]

Do what you love and what excites you - you can totally do it your own way. Don’t waste time doubting or comparing - you are more than good enough. Love your honesty .. wishing you a very happy 2025❤

[@DemiDonnelly]

Ah thank you so much for the words of encouragement x

[@bartannna]

Whats happening with Scrapture?

[@jemma-joon]

I keep wondering that too. I think the travelling got in the way, I miss seeing the packaging

[@DemiDonnelly]

Travelling 100% affected the business last year - I had so many plans to bring back in November but then the vinted business did crazy in TikTok and it took away the time for the relaunch. I will sit down and talk about this on a upcoming video and where I’m at ♥️

[@hannahhilditch03]

Demi why dont you give yourself a limit for spending monthly? Eg take out say £50-£100 per month in cash, and thats the amount you can spend and once its gone, its gone. Might make it a bit easier to begin with as a starting point x

[@DemiDonnelly]

This is a good idea - tbh I’ve given myself spending allows and then don’ts for example I do not need skincare, makeup or anything of the sort but I am allowed charity shop clothes (if I don’t own something similar) coffees etc still allowed so just trying to manage it ❤

[@teresadavies8795]

❤❤❤

[@chloes4561]

Demi- all the vegan stuff is usually unhealthy which I don’t like. Also demi- eats toad in the hole processed ready meal 😂
