MY FIRST NYFW: Solo in NYC, Fashion Presentations, Brand Events, Shopping, Staycation | Mary Skinner

Yes! I think time a part is so important! 26:12

[@alaafawal_13]

i love how much you talk to us during the vlogs and try to explain and make us feel like we were right there with you rather than just show us what youre doing (which is so cool as well btw!)

[@MarySkinner]

Thank you!! I’m trying to be more comfortable vlogging in public which I think will help with that too!

[@nsa976]

Yes please to the podcast episode about remaining independent while in a relationship! But I fully agree with what you said spending a little time apart and reconnecting with who you are when you’re alone is super important in a relationship because it allows you to share those experiences and that little bit of space let’s you miss your partner. Love all your content 🫶🏻

[@nailonb]

Maintaining independence in a relationship is ESSENTIAL for me. I'm 10 years in my relationship and I am someone that will not shy away from prioritizing adventure even if my partner doesn't want to go. It's made me into who I am, and it's empowering as a woman to go on solo hikes, trips, etc.

[@MarySkinner]

It feels so empowering for me to travel solo! I used to bring Matt on my work trips whenever I could, and now I have the confidence to go alone, which makes me feel strong. I’ve never solo traveled for pleasure, but that sounds soo nice

[@FriederikeSchleifer]

just wanted to say you look gorgeous in a very natural way (while still appreciating the effort put into your make up & hair & outfits ^^) !!

[@MarySkinner]

thank you!!🥺🥺

[@deannaciarletti4395]

FINALLY getting around to watching this in its entirety, My husband is currently deployed and has been for the last 11 months. Time apart is SUPER important and missing each other only to come back I think makes the relationship stronger. (I’m 29, he’s 33) Maintaining my independence throughout this relationship (5years) has been vital to my survival/mental health while being without him for such a long time. ❤

[@han26335]

I would LOVE a morning and night routine video with your skincare recs and cozy at home vibes

[@MaddieMettler]

Totally agree with you on the spoiler thing, ESPECIALLY for historical fiction lol

[@MarySkinner]

like wym it’s a spoiler that Mary ends up with the legitimate heir?? she’s a queen??? and it already happened??

[@MillieMorgan-Petrie]

Love these style of vlogs from you Mary !! I totally agree and think that it’s nice to have that time apart sometimes and have experiences for yourself that deepen your own interests & hobbies that’s so important to maintaining a sense of self & allowing yourself the space with your partner to miss them and appreciate the life you share with them is always sweet

[@alaafawal_13]

yayyyy a long mary vloggg🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻 week made

[@annieefissh]

I just want to say that i love your thumbnail art. its so eye catching and made me want to click the video bc i knew what it was abt instantly from the big lettering

[@hanc.1116]

Loveeee a long vlog especially when it’s one of yours 🫶🏽 Also, i would thoroughly enjoy a ‘24 outfits video as well as a morning or night routine! And I really enjoyed your favourites/empties video(s) as well as your bookcase vid, so something like that or a monthly reading review would be lovely as well

[@MarySkinner]

Love these ideas, thank you!

[@duckduckclo]

I have OCD, and it makes my social anxiety SO bad. It’s usually the worst before big events, especially for work, and when meeting new people. I have to put myself “on” and need a lot of time afterward to decompress. It’s always worth it to push past it but man is it draining! Thanks for sharing your experience, because I always feel kinda alone (and weird and guilty) for feeling this way. Love your vlogs always!

[@MarySkinner]

It definitely feels like you have to “play the part” of yourself, and it’s exhausting. I will forever wish I was more of a people person :/

[@olivialincoln2545]

You are so inspiring and comforting to watch Mary!! Things like this always looks so glamorous and unittainable to me, so I love how honest you are about your anxieties and the realities of what you're going through! Loved the vlog!

[@denisebozek]

I have social anxiety too and I COMPLETELY relate to what you were saying!

[@CharlotteConstance27]

Reign, the show, was my personality for so long!

[@izzydunn9137]

love the podcast idea, please do it! also, shopping soothes the soul, it is the best.

[@Ams_2208]

I get so excited when I see you posted!! 🫶🏻🫶🏻 love the vlogs

[@FriedRice515]

Yes , so important to have individuality and independence from your partner. Me and my partner been together for 7 years since college and pretty much lived together the whole time. I’ve never experienced living solo until last year - I moved to my own place and it’s been so healthy for the both of us. I have an anxious attachment style and was codependent on him , but having my own space and independence has helped with security in myself- which in turn helps with security in our relationship. It’s also makes the time we do spend together intentional❤

[@mckenzier1441]

I would love a podcast ep on healthy relationships!! I’m 1 year out of the worst breakup ever and I’m really afraid of getting swept up in a new person when I start dating again 😩 so hearing you talk about that made me feel so seen and hopeful!!

[@MaddieMettler]

I LOVE my partner and I LOVE when he is gone or I am gone haha. Sleeping in the middle of the bed, eating what I want when I want, doing my own thing, etc. LOVE it. When I am out of town, he will often go to a nice steakhouse for dinner alone (I'm vegetarian) and when he is out of town and I am home, I will do a big sewing project since it's hard to do while sharing a space. It's great.

[@MarySkinner]

sleeping down the middle of the bed is so real 🤣 he gets up before me, and as soon as he gets up, I move to the middle of the bed

[@cassidywatson4830]

I’ve been with my husband since we were 17 - we are 29 now (almost 30 😅). We’ve been through many seasons, some which we were very codependent, some where we were more distant. I think it’s SO important to miss each other, especially considering we do work together too. We enjoy doing things together and enjoy each others friends (we met through friends) so we don’t spend much time apart but we do try to do things individually occasionally.

[@awynn32]

You would LOVE the most Almost Famous. Kate Hudson is everything in that movie. Def give it a watch.

[@LaurenDollins-v8n]

the 222 angel number after you left maker is everything

[@MarySkinner]

omg I didn’t even see it!!

[@enchantedfairy13]

oof, girl, independence in a relationship is SO important! I hear you about past relationships where you lost that. My last relationship was 7 years, and I completely lost that and ergo, I lost myself. Since breaking up with him, I've been rediscovering myself. While part of me is sad that it didn't work, because I thought I'd be married by now, the vast majority of me is so relieved. I wouldn't say I have myself back entirely, but I'm working on it, and I don't think I'd even try to date again until I feel solid in who I am and solid in the fact that I'll be able to maintain independence in a relationship.

[@chloeroach]

LOVED. So different from any of your other vids and so long 🩷 reign is so underrated!!!! Bash and Mary forever 🤭

[@MarySkinner]

oooo let me know how you felt it was different, because if I’ve accidentally done something right, I want to do it again 🤣

[@jaytee419]

Love you and clara together! you should have her on the podcast again

[@amandahofmann8780]

Loved this vlog! Thanks for sharing :)

[@katherinefelix7677]

Yes! I like to see the 2024 style video! ❤

[@Dobbylover92]

I LOVE Reign!

[@KatieCat11]

Lol, as soon as you pulled the coat out I was like 'it's giving Penny Lane.' Almost Famous is my favorite movie!

[@sagepatterson1252]

Love sitting and watching this video while wearing the same necklace as you

[@clairelavereau2416]

long form content is so in !!!!!!!!

[@jenniferbrown2402]

Those shoes! I have a thing for red shoes, so I looked them up -- and now I'm torn between red and silver!

[@sydneys9257]

oh man i FEEL the bit on social anxiety. especially now that i'm off my antidepressants it is Rough

[@beearriee123]

3:56 I would be so tempted to do this too :P

[@MarielVazqz]

I have been looking for new perfumes and I just order samples from the maker! I love their bottles they look so beautiful and elegant 🤎

[@MarySkinner]

I hope you love them!!

[@stephaniemartin8331]

I loved this vlog, vlogs are my favorite! ilysm! maybe some romanticizing life videos I love those. thank you for your content! ilysm! ❤

[@clairelavereau2416]

Im travelling to Scotland for taylor swift for the first time in June from Canada and it will be my first time in the UK!!! Any suggestions/tips or things to see? I am going for just over a week and am so overwhelmed but in the best way possible

[@sheabentley2118]

I was watching your Q+A video recently and I one of my favorite og youtubers Elanna McGowan also lives in Northern Ireland! She recently started her own makeup company, she also moved to Ireland out of country with that being her husbands home and I believe her husband also plays a sport professionally so you have lots of things in common! She might be able to answer your questions about the green card process and how influencing works! Sorry this was a random comment hahah I have been binging all your videos I LOVE THEM + YOU! 🤍🤍

[@beearriee123]

when you come back for fall will you be coming from Scotland ? 👀👀

[@maeamber]

You look like a much prettier version of a Kardashian. love the natural beauty(:

[@motheranddaughterabroad]

Love the travel vlogs, Mary! Is that camera the Canon G7X? Thinking about getting it!

[@MarySkinner]

yes! I think I accidentally broke the autofocus on mine through dropping it 🥲 but before that it was absolutely perfect! one day I’ll replace it lol. I have the mark 3!

[@brittanygonzalez4727]

What does it mean when you say you rally? Is it drinking to the point where you throw up and keep going?

[@MarySkinner]

noooo omg I just use it to mean you’re super tired and need to find the energy to go to your next thing!!

[@isabelvanderver7665]

watch almost famous! it’s one of my favorite movies

[@ShaunaGilbride]

Coke Zero is meant to have less caffeine!

[@CRR-624]

Girrrrrlllllllll why is your husband policing your eating habits? You do not have to justify being hungry to anyone. That's high-key toxic af of him to judge your eating habits, and to tell you not to get more food because you just had dinner. Especially since he knows your past history with an ED. EAT IF YOU WANT TO. DON'T LISTEN TO HIM. I'm so sorry you even felt the need to justify being hungry and wanting more food to someone as close to you as your husband.

[@Ssjistkajjaj]

He literally asked normal questions my bf always asks me what I’ve eaten and how much lol, he’s also making sure that I’m eating good so that I stay healthy :)

[@kaatbillen6550]

thought this was weird too!! my boyfriend would say "go get something to eat" not "but you've had dinner"...

[@CRR-624]

@@Ssjistkajjaj if that was a normal question, then she should not have felt the need to justify wanting to get more food the way she did.
