[@SCR1977]

If I could offer some perspective on Chicago/Midwest social scene in the winter. No one stays home. Things don’t go dormant in even the least during winter. If anything it ramps up. As someone who moved from the southwest to the Midwest, can confirm. No region more active and social than this one, with no seasonal break. Looking forward to your first hand account!

[@BurninBitch]

Facts! People in Chicago go out in any type of weather and making friends isn’t that hard at all.

[@cassstephens9910]

We're driven inside the bars and museums and art galleries for five months of the year. You'll know where to find us!

[@cm_mb]

I grew up in Chicago, lived there into my 40s, and can confirm we were just as busy in the winter. Every weekend was busy with social events. Between birthdays, engagements, showers, weddings, christenings, etc, it was nonstop all winter and keeps going year round. If it's too cold or snowy, staying in and inviting friends over for a cozy get together was still possible and we looked forward to it as much as possible. Now I'm in south Florida and feel more confined in summer due to heavy rain or humidity. You learn to adapt to your environment and do your best to enjoy life regardless where you live. Love this version of your nomadic life, Taylor!

[@kristenkirkpatrick1086]

[@patriciateague8677]

Chicago does not shut down in winter. I grew up in the suburbs and I can tell you we are a hardy bunch in the north central Midwest. Snow plows are out early and often and nothing shuts down. I laughed when Dallas shut down after the storm on 2/2. The roads looked like an average winter day here in Wisconsin.

[@danielleotten5219]

I felt the exact same way when I was using the dating apps. I was 27 and I just genuinely got to a point where I knew what I was looking for and what I wasn’t. I was very upfront with the guys I went on dates with about what my goals were and what I was looking for. I figured if it was the right person for me then I wouldn’t scare them off by being honest. I lived on my own, had my own career and friends I loved and it just became fun to date. I didn’t put all this unnecessary pressure on “finding the one” as I did just meeting kind people and thinking maybe I would meet a great guy that would just feel right and work. I’m 33 now and although I didn’t meet my husband on dating apps (we met at the hospital where we both work), I did love online dating and meeting new people. I really think it helps you learn more about yourself and solidifies what you like and don’t like. I figured at the end of the day even if the guy wasn’t the right fit for me, I got out of the house, got dressed up and had a drink with a new and interesting person. It’s all about your outlook and mentality I think.

[@sarahwithstars]

Even just building a profile makes you ask yourself questions about what you want and what you are passionate about and your values that you may have never articulated before. It helps gather your thoughts, opinions, priorities, hopes& goals so you are then in the mindset to explore these things with and about new people on a date.

[@clareflox8916]

Ugh, I’ve been single since my divorce two years ago and haven’t even been able to face that idea of dating again, let alone actually doing it. Thanks for the insights into what it’s like dating a bit older. It makes it feel a little less impossible.

[@pena6302]

I’ve also been single since my divorce also 2 years ago and I totally understand what you’re saying. The idea of dating again totally scares me to the point that I convinced myself that I’m better off being single. But I think what scares me most is finding someone I totally fall for and obtaining the same results. Hearing other ppl going through the same thing gives me a little more courage and hope tho.

[@brookeperk93]

Best thing I ever learned thru extensive dated- whether meeting online or in real life naturally- is that listen to a man, when they tell you something. If they ever hesitate on a relationship, you wanting one is not irrational. Distance is key. And it pays off simply to give to listen. My one friend used to say “leave at the first sign of bullshit” that also helps🤣

[@ascarey18]

I met my husband on a dating app. I definitely had to weed through the rough patches to find him, but so worth it! And he was 30 when we met, so guys in their 30s are VERY different! Over 5 years later, we are happily married and building our future together ❤️

[@brittanypennycuff4512]

I was on and off dating sites after my divorce at 34 yrs old, and met so many crazy guys as well as nice guys that just weren’t the right fit for me, and right when I was going to give up, I got a message from a guy that is now my husband, and he’s the absolute best.

Also, I made a game for myself when I was getting burnt out on dating, and started asking EVERY first date who their favorite muppet is. You’d be surprised how much you can learn about someone if they’re an Animal vs a Kermit fan (better than a horoscope 😂). Wishing you all the luck and good vibes in the dating world!

Chicagoan here! I love my city but I also definitely get seasonal depression and I’m not overall as happy here in the winter. It definitely is the worst part of living here but the summers and falls are just so perfect.

I feel like you've reached an emotionally mature time in your life, which also tends to translate into those you're dating. You've become confident in yourself and what you need which is amazing! I tell my girls that dating is more about learning what you DON'T want, than it is what you DO want ❤. Also, I live in the Houston area, and I've been to that AOA store. They've been advertising a new one on my side of town (Houston proper is 50 miles wide lol), but the 'rona seemed to push that back... and I'm sad about it lol.

[@maria.jimena1516]

Don't give up hope on the dating apps! I met my bf on tinder 4 years ago. I was only on it because I was moving from Chicago to VA in a few weeks and thought it was "less serious" than bumble. I was basically on there to just waste time but after great conversations, I finally met up with him and the rest is history. We did long distance for a year, I moved back from VA after my hospital residency, and we bought a house 2 years ago. People are always surprised to hear how we met! One of my best friends married her bumble bee! Hope you find that assuring. Knowing what you're looking for will make things much lighter emotionally, but also, like you've noticed- you get to meet and appreciate a bunch of great humans along the way! It takes real maturity to see the good in people when it doesn't benefit you personally. Love your channel, girl!

I’m back on the apps in Austin for the first time in 2 years and it’s totally different in your 30s! It’s like a game you kind of learn how to play to really narrow down who and what you’re looking for.

[@taylorwynn]

Totally!!

[@Kasiabobasia]

Totally agree about your views on dating! I’m in my early 30s and I feel like there’s a whole new level of maturity (largely because I’m secure in my myself and I know what I want). I think dating in pandemic times was also easier in a sense. Having to discuss certain things like views on vaccination, dating other people, etc. has forced people to have hard conversations sooner and streamlined the process.

[@angelapusateri2628]

Chicagoan here, we really only hide inside January through February. The city goes all out for Saint Patrick's and we have outdoor things going on from then through New Year's. The snow is annoying, but we really only hide inside 2 or 3 weekends a year.

I was in a long relationship that ended and I went back into the dating world and you just know at that point what you want and what you don’t want in a partner. When I met my husband, I knew on our first date that I wanted to marry him 😂 but that was just because he was literally everything I was waiting for and I had gone on so many dates before him and it was just such a breathe of fresh air compared to so many guys. All that to say that you will just know when you meet someone who is just everything you were waiting for 💕

If you want to use your retinol more often, and not deal with dryness and irritation, put it on over a cream moisturizer. The retinol will still sink in, but pulls in the extra moisture as well. Ever since I found out about that hack from a dermatologist, and started doing it, my skin has started looking so much better.

I always have been like that in dating. Lol My first date with my current partner was when I was 18 (currently in my 30s) I was like “If you want kids, I’m not for you.” 😂 my worst nightmare was to end up stuck on someone that ended up wanting kids. So that was always one of the first things I brought up.

Hey girl. Florida native here. Miami Beach isnt so much for relaxing as it is for partying lol. It’s a lot of fun! But relaxing isn’t the word if that’s what you’re looking for. You want the gulf coast for that. The further southwest you go in Florida, the older & richer it gets. St Pete area is a good mix of younger people, lots of state parks, relaxing beaches & friendly. You might also like Fort Myers or Fort Lauderdale. Can’t speak so much for Destin but that’s more panhandle / Florida southern. It is true the further north you go in Florida, the closer to the south you get. Hope this helps & happy travels!😊

You’re right, over half of the year it’s freezing and nobody wants to go anywhere because of it. I live in Miami now, but I’m moving to Austin in June and I can’t wait - the people are so similar to Chicago people and incredibly nice. It really is wild to think how living in a city with kind people makes all the difference in the world.. it’s not that people in Miami are mean.. but it’s definitely not the same vibe.

Taylor, I don’t know if you read your comments but I just wanted to offer this: the idea that “good guys” are already in relationships in their 30s is something I heard in the 1980s, when GenX was coming up and we knew we were not marrying in our 20s. I assure you that it’s not about the age at which you meet your person. It’s about getting clear about who you are and what you can bring to a relationship. We usually focus on what the other person needs to bring. But once we really know ourselves (usually in our 30s!), we tend to have a better sense of who we allow into our lives. (And, I agree, Untamed was an excellent read!) Thanks for the great nomadic content!

[@taylorwynn]

Totally! That’s what I was trying to say haha

[@ktfearless]

Yes, do the video on the Shop Miss A store! I’ve been to the one in the mall there & loved it! Can’t wait to go back one day

As a born and raised Floridian, If you want relaxing don't come to Florida during spring break, the beaches are crowded. Florida is over crowded anyway but spring break can be a mess.

I met my significant other on Hinge in 2019. We moved in together 3 months later and just got engaged last month! I’m glad to hear your experience has been good! Have fun and enjoy yourself because you will find someone!

Yes Destin was so cool ! We actually went there to escape the back to back hurricanes in 2004 , they were headed right towards us so we went north until we hit Destin. I loved the water on the west coast of Florida, it was just really pretty, and so much fun. Go girl!

Having a stronger sense of self (what is REALLY important to you and having focus towards those objectives) helps understand how others can compliment your goals. When you aren’t really sure what you are looking for its easy to think you’ve found what you’re looking for when you haven’t. One of the best things I can recommend is to REALLY be okay with yourself before adding anyone else to your most intimate intentions.

[@samjobrad]

Broooo yessss!! personal growth! All of the things you said about dating 🙌🏼 it’s definitely self awareness

[@lisar6124]

Taylor, I have been watching your videos for years and finally created a google account to subscribe. This video completely spoke to me! I am also in my 30’s and on dating apps, I completely understand everything you said. You are inspirational and the best part is, you are authentic about it. I think your awesome and just wanted to leave you a comment. Best of luck finding help with the health issues, place to live, and the man you have been searching for!!

I moved to Florida 3 years ago. I live in Fort Myers and I gotta say, Southwest Florida (Venice, Sanibel, Naples) are absolutely adorable AND the sunsets are stunning. That being said I think you would enjoy winters down here more than summer.

[@vanessasoares4708]

I FREAKING LOVE your brushes. I have so many but seriously speaking these 3 are like no other that I have

[@VeronicaMarce]

Born and raised in Chicago and I can honestly say I've never gotten used to the winter. It is BONE chilling! I've had some friends and family that wanted to move here and they all lasted a year before moving lol. But a lot do love it. I'm interested to hear your thoughts.

[@dora876]

Yup, I’m from Michigan and we go out almost every weekend in the winter!

As a southerner, Destin, FL was always our ideal beach location growing up (it also helped that we knew someone who had a beach house). Destin can be crowded at certain parts of the year, but it’s a great place to vacation.

[@lauralovesbeauty397]

Whaaaaaat!!? Shop Miss A store!??? I thought the whole reason they could have such cheap prices was because they did just the online?? But YES!!! Absolutely!! Would love that

[@karistartin2315]

Yes! All the yes! I was on the apps for a few years in my twenties after a five year relationship. Then I stopped and just focused on myself. Found the love of my love two years ago, right as I turned 30. Now we own two houses, have great careers, and the same mindset. Definitely 30’s over 20’s!

[@mkat27]

In terms of traveling to Destin, check out the 30A and seaside areas. They are gorgeous (!!!) and less commercialized and crowded… but tons of local restaurants and cute shops. The beaches are stunning on the gulf. White sand and emerald waters! It’s called the emerald coast.

[@meganagaisse5370]

Destin is awesome. Beautiful beaches. I would recommend looking a little further down on 30A for less crowds, high rises etc. The beaches and towns are perfect.

[@masonismyangel]

Arrested development, is one of my favorite shows of all time lol. You will love it!

[@Believeinanything1]

Florida recommendation for vacation if you want QUIET and relaxed, Carrabelle Florida is both of those. My inlaws live in Carrabelle and it's absolutely beautiful. You're about an hour away from several larger cities, but you have beautiful untouched beaches with no high rises. It's called "The Forgotten Coast". For Chicago, the city doesn't sleep in the winter. If anything, it's more active. I live an hour out of the city in the "country". Anywhere Bollingbrook or south is really nice, and a bit quieter than Chicago.

Austin sounds like such an uplifting place to be in. I went on a family vacation to San Antonio years ago and it was so much fun! I am so happy that you are enjoying your time in Austin and are meeting good people. I would love to see a video on the shop Miss A store and see some of Houston. Your makeup looks beautiful! I love your outfit and accessories too! That top is such a pretty color, very unique. I love those shows, Married at First and Love is Blind. I didn't know there was a season 2 of Love is Blind. I have to watch that ASAP. LOL! Your videos are so genuine and honest. Thanks for sharing and enjoy your mini trip to Houston!

Hey Taylor! I've lived next door to Destin in Fort Walton Beach for the past 10 years. Destin is beautiful and has amazing beaches. But the traffic is pretty bad and it's a spring break destination so lots of young people drinking and partying. Try to find a condo on the Gulf side so you see the beautiful water from your room and have beach access. I also have many friends in the service industry out there so I can recommend several restaurants if you need them!
