Paying a monthly fee for the Oura ring's app would be a hard "no" for me. Most apps like that at least provide basic information for free and then charge for extended data. An option would be the smallest Fitbit that can be worn as a necklace or bracelet, but I'm not sure that provides as much information.

[@GabyP17]

I have a Versa 2 Fitbit I got for my birthday two years ago. It does all of this, tracks my exercise, when my heart rate was higher, can detect irregular heart rate, tracks my sleep and stress levels. There’s a premium version I used a free trial for 6 months but didn’t resubscribe, it does give extra info on sleep, workout regimes, community access, etc. I honestly love mine and it’s just a Bluetooth/WiFi connection. It’s a fraction of the price.

[@bethb4432]

Yep. So sick of everything having a monthly payment. I want to buy something and be done.

[@Girlofpages]

@@GabyP17I’m gonna have to add that to my wishlist. That sounds really great.

[@Megan___]

Amen. My Garmin watch does all this stuff except tracking basal body temp. And the Garmin app is free lol 😅

[@Jacquelynrose94]

I might wait for the Velia ring to launch, for that reason. I hate monthly memberships too.

[@emmz91]

[@oliviacurzi4124]

Agreed! First impressions don't tell much here

I know you didn’t ask me, but I’ve had mine for almost a year, and I love it!

Oura ring update after longer term use would be AWESOME!!

Carrie, I feel like the direction of your channel has changed so many times and I keep coming back bc I think you are such a real person and that really comes through in your videos. So happy to see you’re still thriving!

[@ciaraelyse8672]

The editing on this is SO GOOD.

[@RachelMaryB]

I would love a follow-up video, especially for the chair. My current desk chair was great when I got it but flattened out and got super firm and uncomfortable within a few months so I'd love to see if you still love it over time, it might be worth the switch for me then.

[@bazsimoe]

the editing on this video is SLEEK

[@michellecherie419]

Your bangs are swooping so good today!! The swoop is back!!! 🙌

[@hayl_ski]

You 100% need to give the Oura ring more time. It took about 2 weeks for the ring to gather enough data to know my sleep patterns and readiness. Also, after a week or two I found the ring to be way more comfortable and now it’s been about 2 months and I don’t even notice it anymore. It’s been great for my sleep and adjusting my activity goal based on my data, which keeps me motivated but avoiding injury and burnout so I would say it’s worth the price! It was also covered by my HSA and was fully covered by the money my company puts into my HSA.

I’ve been eyeing the cross cross chair and I think you’ve sold me on it. This is how I sit 90% of the time I am sitting and need a new chair. So glad you test this out for me 🙃

[@zoewilliams727]

yessss oura ring!! I’ve been wearing it for a couple years now and it has changed my life. It took me a while to get used to when sleeping to but so worth it!!

[@bandteesnblazers]

Hi Carrie! I love the first impressions videos, and your thoughts and opinions on products. Just as these videos are helpful, I feel like the follow up videos are equally important! I have appreciated you doing follow up videos in the past of other viral or popular products. Have a nice day! (Also, love your outfit!!)

[@cupcakecarolina]

Your channel make over is everything!!! Love the end card 🍒💕❤️

[@rachell71]

As a long time Dyson airwrap and thermal brush user, they’re no comparable, lol. They’re two totally different products and you’re not using them in the same way. You can also use a round brush and a blow dryer, a curler or a straightener to get your ends flipped out.

[@hannahheartsbooks6]

Carrie, as a long time viewer, this hair look is my favorite! The bangs are bangin and should stay forever ❤️

[@lindsayvelozoful]

The aesthetic of this video is EVERYTHING

[@ghoulish_girl_]

I was super skeptical of the Oura, but as a user now for a year, I absolutely love the information it provides. My finger also felt sore for the first few days/week but it quickly got used to having such a hefty ring on. Thanks for checking out the crisscross chair.. I was wondering about lumber support since I sit at my desk all day being remote, plus I use my current chair's arms all the time, so this was helpful to hear!

[@TeaBrew4]

YOUR LOOK IN THIS VIDEO!!!❤❤❤

[@lalalaAli]

Soo good. It’s the classiest look I’ve seen on her, a really natural style that suits her so well, I think it’s the hair!

[@ArchivistReading]

Thanks for an informative video! I will say that $100-$150 is a pretty standard price for mid-range desk chairs, so that doesn't sound egregious to me. I'd love to see a long-term update!

[@carolynnoel9081]

bought myself an oura ring on black friday and it has been one of my favorite things! trying to take care of myself this year and focus on things like sleep and stress, and oura makes it really easy for me to gauge how i’m feeling, what’s stressing me out, what areas of my sleep need improvement, etc. definitely pricey and i wish there wasn’t the monthly subscription to pay for too, but at this moment I do think it’s worth it!

[@mothmallow]

I love when you do follow up videos on things like this. Glad you had good experiences trying these!

[@TheKstory13]

I just put together my crisscross chair last night and sitting in it as I’m watching this. I absolutely love it!! I’m going to ask my office to buy me one for work. They’re cheaper than all the desk chairs that are typically purchased by my office.

[@AllySheehan]

[@vaiishxo]

the new editing is just ♥️

[@eljj7968]

That curling wand is just like the one my grandma has been using my whole life hahaha. Funny that they're a 'thing' now.

[@purelife9013]

With the oura ring: a friend of mine was having issues with her sleep, and her doctor recommended a sleep study, but her insurance wouldn’t cover it. So she bought the orua and wore it for about six months and then presented her sleep data to her doctor and they found out. She actually had really bad sleep apnea. She figured $400 was cheaper than how much sleep study was going to be. I didn’t know there was a subscription that you have to pay for monthly that seems a little scamming when you’re paying $400 for a ring

[@desertvibes6080]

I really want the kneeling moveabke adhd friendly desk chair! I love these reviews. I love the cherry heart pj's! I love the 90s looking hair ❤🎉

[@kristinak5595]

I've had the oura since 2021 so I don't pay for the app until I upgrade to a new ring. I did get used to the bulkiness and use it everyday! I love it. It has helped with sleep and steps! Long-term, the ring does need charging daily as the battery declines after 2 years or so. Such a great product.

[@saral7950]

I would LOVE to see them used a few times. Getting the user error out of the way/seeing it used multiple times is way more helpful in deciding if it’s worth long term

[@Jacquelynrose94]

I heard about a Kickstarter for a ring that similar to Oura, but without the membership. I'm going to wait for that one to be released.

[@Amelia_sf]

Your hair looks amazing !!!!!

[@CitrusAndCinnamon]

I'm obsessed with the new editing (ex: 12:21 "it's ready" hah)! Also, loved this video and would like a follow-up!

[@Califerrluvzmusic]

Not kidding I’m obsessed with this hair color and cut on you

[@gracecrazysong]

I have the Oura ring and swear by it. It’s perfect for me cause I refuse to put my body through the hell that is hormonal birth control, and tracking my cycle is way more conducive to my lifestyle. The monthly fee was for sure annoying, but it’s worth it for me personally. Also the sleep tracking is next level. The fitness and steps tracking is a bonus. Edited to add: Also to answer the question about the comfortability, making sure you get the correct size for whatever finger you want to wear it on is super important. I got the free ring sizing kit they send you beforehand to make sure I got the size for my pointer finger correct, and I never have any pain or discomfort from wearing it. I also have very dry eczema prone skin and it hasn’t caused any flare ups which is 💯

[@Laalaalaa10]

I have the criss cross chair it’s the best investment! I can sit way more comfortably. I have one without wheels which is what I wanted!

[@ulla232]

You will probably get used to Oura, I have personally. Used it now for 3 years. The main thing it measures is sleep so people use something else for sports tracking if they are super into that. Keep in mind that the step count is a bit higher in Oura than in reality since it’s on your finger. The period tracker is really interesting as you get suggestions based on where you are on your cycle, like to rest or train heavier. The main downside is the battery life over time. Realistically, you can expect 3-4 years max until it gets really bad. Their customer service is great and you should contact them right away if you have any issues with battery during the warranty period.

[@anniebigler6806]

Thank you so much for doing these!! It's like my in-touch cool aunt is giving me the product reviews that I've been dreaming of wanting to know about😅

[@cataliciouz]

20:26 hahaaha meeeee everyday!!!!😂😂😂😂

[@sharagreensides1054]

As soon as you started the warm up of your workout, I knew it was EMKfit, lol. She has my fave workouts!

[@MJHutchinson4]

I have been using the Oura ring for about a year and a half now. I originally got it because the app I was using to track my cycle partnered with them and I got a discount. It has been great for tracking my temperature at night for my cycle tracking, and the apps work well together. I hardly ever notice the ring on my finger any more, and I have really enjoyed watching the sleep and exercise data. I too, am a Capricorn 😆. It has also helped me to have some more motivation to exercise while also making me feel less guilty when I feel off, and just need a chill day. Usually the data agrees.

[@kimgreen7458]

Oura ring says their sizing is different than typical rings (probably because of the little bulbs inside). I got the sizing kit and I was 1-2 sizes bigger than I anticiapted. Maybe see if you can return it for the correct size if you want to wear it on your index finger?

[@ccalexander1924]

I hate putting furniture together. I learned I am absolutely terrible at it so I never get anything I have to put together lol. As far as workout goes I ordered the peloton for black Friday and I love it !!!! Best expensive purchase ever and I’m already seeing a difference in my arms !

[@jazzmyn5804]

"beep boop beep boop" she's having so much fun lol

[@aprilvictoria6670]

I have a Fitbit which tracks sleep.. and I had to stop wearing it to sleep because I’d get so caught up with having a low sleep score even if I felt rested in the morning. My bf had one too and we’d compare and it would upset me when his score was like 90 and mine was 71.

[@isabellak.1740]

like just on a side note what dance workout do you do? it looks so fun!

[@Zoie143]

Loving the new end card. Also desk chairs are typically in the 100s for quality chairs. My desk chair from IKEA was in the $300s price range. You can buy cheap ones for like $50 but if your a bigger person they are a no go for comfort & support.

[@staticPhotography]

Love the new video editing aesthetic and end card!

[@Manahlynn]

Also I love switching up my watch bands with my mood and outfit lol

[@oliviarowe9305]

as a fellow criss cross girlie, I somehow lucked out when I bought my office chair because it has a high back and wide seat big enough for me to criss cross, and arm rests, which I also love! and the arms don't come out too far on the seat that it makes criss crossing impossible.

[@TonjaWatts]

The editing!!!! 😍😍😍 Also, cross cross girliessss!!!

[@bethanyrose9026]

I love the look of and how small the oura ring is. I dont like the aesthetic of the Apple Watch either but I wear it everyday 😂The subscription with the ring is what annoys me though like why do I need to pay monthly after buying an expensive item?!

Hi! Can you link the glasses you were wearing with the cherries sweatshirt? They look soooo good on you!

[@Plumpquail]

Carrie some people use the oura ring to track their menstrual cycle too! It’s a companion to the fertility awareness method

[@JulieNick28]

I would love a follow-up on the Oura ring! I’ve been eyeing it for awhile but wanted to see reviews on the new Evie ring. But so far looks like Oura is better. Everyone I’ve seen with the crisscross chair has been positive and that’s actually a great price for an office chair. I’ve thought about it.

[@beccareinhard3800]

You should make a comparison video for the workout and sleep stats from the oura ring vs the Apple Watch!

[@sarameyers3413]

Admittedly obsessed with the side part

[@manu21ela]

You should try buying rollerblade wheels for the chair, those are better for the floor, slide easier, and as a bonus, those wheels don't just die after picking up hair from the floor! Also, they're very easy to install.

[@eljj7968]

You should do a workout with both the ring and Apple Watch on! Would be super curious to see if they come out with the same heart rate, calories burned etc.

[@ava4830]

I thought I was weird for only being able to sit comfortably criss cross. I rarely see people sit like me. I feel so validated and now I know I could buy a chair to accommodate it too!

[@tereynacevedo296]

I love your grandpa sweatshirt. My grandfather passed away recently. He raised me. His fav mug I got him said that. I hope one day to find a cute sweatshirt like that In the wild!

[@raeraemillstone]

Hey girlie pro tip for the oura ring.. it does have EMF which can disrupt your hormones.. to get around this just put the ring in airplane mode. It can store I think 12 hours of information so then once a day connected to your phone so that way it's not constantly emitting EMFs❤❤

[@lostinthemission]

I love these fun edits in this video. If you have an editor, they’re doing great. Keep em!

[@leemarie6955]

yasssss love your videos!! I always watch them at work or doign things around the house.

[@dianapalacios677]

I’ve had my oura ring for about two years and I’m still in love with it. The only slight downfall for me is the monthly fee. I also never had any issue with it bothering my finger but it did take a little getting used to in the beginning ❤

[@dianapalacios677]

Also another little downfall for me, I have the ring in silver so after a while I started really noticing it getting little scratches and now after having it for a while it’s more noticeable so my ring is not as shiny as it used to be (obviously)

[@kategiorgio]

You have to take the ring off to lift weights? Isn’t the whole point to track your work out? 🥴

Virtual little sis, I have been wondering about a couple of products. I envy people like you who have multiple pairs of prescription fashion eyeglasses. Where do you get yours for a good price and how do you go about that? Also, I see so many ads for the 28-day wall pilates program. I'd like to know if that works and makes a difference in your body or your strength. Thanks for all the entertaining content you put out! Love ya! Beth xoxo

[@janicestewart8291]

Thank you for sharing your findings on these items. I have to say, you gave us a good look into them. On the chair---back support is more needed for spending hours in a chair,not to mention blood circulation--the chair would not be good for alot of folks like me. Not impressed with the other items either. Sorry, but it does help to see them in use. Thank you again
