Preparing for Hibernation | Self-Care for Winter | Mary Skinner

[@rachelreisinger2163]

No Mary, I will never get tired of cleaning and laundry montages. It’s nice to do chores with someone lol

[@gracemorgan951]

They’re my fave

[@sarahlittleton8175]

Came to say this!!!

[@xABBIE07]

the range of accents during the candle making had me cackling lol

[@MarySkinner]

I speak in a fake accent literally 97% of my day and just turn it off when I film, I am so annoying to live with

[@laureldesmarteau]

Deleted social media for the remainder of the year but don’t you worry girl! I got your back! From right here😌

[@MarySkinner]

🤣🤣 love this for your winter arc

[@claudiabeaudry5074]

I love the cleaning vlogs with mundane activities !

[@MarySkinner]

good bc that’s what I have to offer I fear

[@Strwbrrymlktea]

The chocolate brown hair is beautiful ✨

[@wika190]

That made me understand why a lot of americans enjoy fall so much, in Europe it's so much harder to stay positive and happy when it's dark all the time

[@meghanweathers9529]

Where she came from doesn’t get dark as fast because it’s closer to the equator. But a lot of us who live farther north in America have very early dark days like Scotland.

[@MarySkinner]

The earliest VA ever gets dark is 5pm, so definitely a big adjustment! the UK is much further north than all states except Alaska, which is why I was ill prepared for the dark mornings

[@sariahlee]

Yessss I love hibernation season🩷 And your new hair color is looking FANTASTIC. Also when you ARE in the market for new over ear headphones, I highly recommend Bose Quiet Comfort plus. Super light, super comfy, amazing sound. They don’t hurt my head or ears even if I’m wearing them 16hrs a day. I love Cecilia Blohmdal’s channel for winter mental health cuz she lives on Svalbard and goes through polar night

[@alymarie131]

I’ve lived in Wisconsin all my life, and while I’m used to the amount of darkness, it’s hitting me like crazy this year. But I’ve implemented a morning and afternoon work break walk the last several months, and it’s been life changing. So much more energized, in a “I did something great for myself” way. Thank you for this video and tips Mary 💜

[@danawohlfarth2056]

I’ve been waiting for this one….. TURN IT UP!!!!

[@nicoleashley8235]

I live in south FL and I always try to explain I have opposite of typical seasonal depression. It’s 100 degrees and straight sunshine at least 7 months out of the yr and I don’t want to leave the house❤ I love the winter season and we always travel to cold and rainy places. Scotland is next year! 😊

[@Elsa-fe8ld]

definitely this side of the year is nice because it’s still cosy season and christmas is coming up, it’s January and February that can feel so depressing to me 😭 I’m a big early morning person as well but I do tend to sleep in a bit more during winter and that’s ok I think 😌 it’s good to move with your body’s energy, whilst also trying to maintain a routine. I live in Edinburgh and work from home so know the struggle! 💜

[@andreamenza6705]

1) I use the same hatch alarm sound! 2) I loveeee your cleaning and laundry montages I clean and organize my closet to them! 🫶

[@sarahjanemiddleton2077]

I get it boo. I moved from Norway to America. Culturally it’s so different. I’m originally from England and I just feel so unknown or lost here. I don’t know myself. But we trying. I know for me that when I learnt how to drive that really helped with my mental health. Maybe that’s something you can consider :) We got this booo! ❤️

[@timwhrm2400]

6:42 maybe you can try smart blinds like the SwitchBot curtains. You can program them to open when your alarm goes off. It helps me so so much getting up in the morning.

[@NatalieHussein]

you can also buy smart light bulbs (not sure if Philips hue lights are available in the UK) but you can program them to turn on so if you have them as the main light in your bedroom they’ll brighten up the room like a sunrise

[@emmygreene4638]

@@NatalieHusseinthese help me so much!

[@madisonthemagnificent2318]

I actually love your set up in front of the bookshelf it’s soooo cozy!!

[@colleenfusco4670]

the jlabs headphones are an AMAZING replacement for the maxes, so much more comfortable, cheaper, noise cancelling is great and they have a be aware mode, and love the green color

[@kaitlynburba]

THANK U HIBERNATION QUEEN

[@emmakuszynski5173]

I love this more “topic focused” style of video Mary!

[@jessicadomangue3765]

You could look into a battery operated sconce to put over your stove 😊 loved this video,btw Ty for the encouragement and inspo

[@tiannaconnelly8337]

this is such a great mindset and has me planning for myself in Kentucky lol!

[@leloverceline]

love love love ... especially when you break out in different accents haha so cute

[@ChristineRebeccaHamilton]

Loved this mary! Brb buying candle making supplies right now! Also your little accents at the end were so funny lol

[@itscallietaylor]

You're so pretty! I love your hair and makeup 🥰

[@Caitlynws1644]

I sold my AirPod maxes and bought some Sony ones and have never regretted it! They were so painful!

[@josreadingcorner2570]

this video was actually everything

[@elodyirodriguez9749]

I’ve been waiting for this one ❤❤❤ I love the weekly vlogs

[@KHORTON03]

I have been back and forth on ordering the Hatch, I get up at 5ish for the gym and I think this was the sway I needed 🤭

[@EmmaSophiaN]

Pull all the books in the shelves to the front in a straight line, makes it look so much more tidy 📚

[@Carolinee1045]

The ending shot is goooorgeous

[@ashleyharney1868]

This video cured me

[@jaytee419]

i actually think the dip in the middle on the candle looks cool!!

[@MarySkinner]

It floods the flame :///

[@vicki6741]

Aww this is so lovely

[@brittanyboom9196]

Love this entire video and all the cozy vibes/tips! Also a fellow winter girly! 🤍 What fake tan do you use? It looks phenomenal!

[@juliehultzsch7016]

I might startup candle making bc this seems like such a cozy activity! I also have to remind myself that I don’t need to be perfect at my hobbies 😅 love to know other people use random accents when doing projects too bc it drives my husband nuts that I do it 🤣

[@andreamenza6705]

Maybe you could add sconces to above the stove?

[@isabelcosta-smith2906]

You should add a plug in sconce above your stove

[@aquarius2]

The glass candle holders are called hurricanes

[@Emeraldlover]

Highly recommend Sony XM4s headphones!

[@meganadele]

we love a montage tho!!

[@KristinaMorrison]

Hopefully not overstepping but regarding your health I had similar symptoms and did a bunch of tests which all came back negative. I was skeptical but ended up deciding to go to a functional medicine/ naturopathic doctor. If nothing else something to look into if you can’t find the answers you need. Mine really helped me!

[@ivettem79]

What do you ask for your haircut? Love the color btw looks really good on you 😊

[@MarySkinner]

thank you!! just long layers with chin length face framing pieces

[@amiegreene6811]

Shoot, now I want to make candles...

[@acechanell]

Did you find out when the best time to use the light therapy is?

[@jules34289.]

Can you share what you find about the happy lamp pls?

[@Catty25x]

Can you please post your Amazon UK storefront for us? Love the light

[@emmavandeventer9653]

I think it’s in her Instagram bio if you want!

[@Sharon_Cort]

I'm SAT for Hibernation Mary! ✨🕯🍂 p.s. what is the name of the underwear by Skims you showed us and swear by?

[@MarySkinner]

they’re the cheeky style from fits everybody!

[@BigSad444]

My seasonly depressed ass is SAT

[@channingr7438]

which style specifically are the fits everybody underwear you showed? are they high waisted?

[@MarySkinner]

They’re the cheeky ones!

[@laurabethgooch6849]

AirPod Maxes are the worst! I tried to convince myself that I loved them, but they're so heavy and they get so dirty and are impossible to clean. Do yourself a favor and invest in something like Bose.

[@aubriechristine]

Not sure if you did, but let your wax cool down a bit before pouring into glasses (and yes don’t put them somewhere cold, let them dry at room temperature) That’s what causes them to be uneven, pull away from the glass, and have the holes! For soy wax I pour around 100 F degree, I’m not sure the recommended for beeswax! - A candlemaker
