Vlog: Finding a New Routine, Couples Photoshoot, Exploring Edinburgh | Mary Skinner

[@Humblemoon444]

I’m usually a silent follower/subscriber but decided today was the day to share my gratitude for your content!❤️As a fellow mentally ill girly sometimes my dreams feel overwhelmingly large and out of reach. With your current move you have helped to shift my mindset to be more optimistic and that no dream is too big regardless of how many obstacles get in the way. I’ve never had someone on the internet positively impact my life in the way you have. Much love!! Xx

[@MarySkinner]

This makes me very emotional, I constantly feel like my mental health is stopping me from doing and being what I aspire to do and be, and I should probably just give up. So thank you for saying this, because I completely understand how you feel, and this is so encouraging 🥹🤍

[@viki_gulfia]

I also love your channel. I am also diagnosed with bipolar, but got very scared that I won't accomplish my dreams, scared of stigma. It is hard to accept your reality. But you inspire me so much with your confidence and good energy. Thank you for sharing!

[@Angela-jn7iv]

@@MarySkinner I just discovered your videos and love them. I’ve been in Anglophile since my teen years, and would love to move to Scotland, or England, someday And can I just say that as a 62-year-old who felt as though I struggled mentally at times in my 20s, (I’m not sure how old you are) and not to be Downplaying it in any way, but it does just “come with the territory”! Your 30s will be so much better, and then, I think, it just gets better with every decade!

Just ordered the Skims bralette and briefs and used your name where applicable!

[@LaurenSullivan-gw2iy]

I can’t say this enough but your content has been such a comfort I’m moving out of my hometown at the end of July and it’s been so refreshing to see someone being so vulnerable and honest about big changes

[@MarySkinner]

Thank you!! That’s a huge step, I hope it goes well and the change feels very aligned and authentic for you 🤍

Why did the results from the photoshoot make me tear up 🥲 so excited for you on this new chapter!

[@MarySkinner]

Thank you!! Her team is amazing, I felt so lucky that we were in town when she was asking for volunteers!

[@haleythackston1423]

I did not expect a new video so soon after the last one! I may have audibly gasped when I saw your face pop up on my subscriptions page lol but love the Scotland content and hope you’re adjusting well ! ❤❤

[@MarySkinner]

Thank you!! Felt I owed yall after needing a little mental health break!! 💛💛

[@captainboomerang1783]

i love your energy Mary and I'm absolutely loving the Scotland arc of your life! it's such a dream of mine to move to Scotland so I'm living vicariously through our vlogs! the house is absolutely gorgeous and it has sooo much potential.

[@captainboomerang1783]

oh also I forgot, I LOVE YOUR PODCAST!!! Haven't had time to listen much yet but they're so good!!!!

[@FabledFajar]

Would love to hear more about books you’re reading in your vlogs ! Always love your book videos

[@MarySkinner]

I really need to get back into reading, I haven’t read a book in a while. I’d love an excuse to go book shopping though 🤣

[@paigelouise26]

Welcome to Scotland! its so nice to see you settling in here and I hope you’re having the best time!! Agreed that the chai from Dishoom is amazing - did you know that you can buy their kits online from their website? Also, loved the whole foods haul, have you been into a Holland and Barrett yet? It’s no where near the level of US health stores but it’s always soooo good for a browse! I can’t wait to see all the upcoming content - have you ever spent an August in the city for The Fringe?… if not, you’re in for a wild ride!

[@MarySkinner]

I’ve been to the Fringe before, but this will be my first time living here during it! I don’t know if I’m ready 😅😅 I need to go to Holland & Barrett!!

[@Madibaddie7]

Mary you’re single-handedly convincing me to travel to Scotland and I never thought to visit there before

[@jjthejet8447]

You should it’s amazing there

[@jjjjjjahhshshsh8045]

I am so jealous of the views and all the walking you get to do. It’s truly stunning! I wish to some day move abroad.

[@rebeccaferguson6356]

Oh my goodness!! I am moving to Scotland at the very beginning of September and I clicked so fast on your video. It was even cooler to find out that you moved from Virginia as well! Such a small world moment that comforted me so much. I hope you continue to adjust and feel at home in Edinburgh. So excited to be there soon 🤎

[@Geisiele]

I love your vlogs so much, they're so relaxing 💛 Btw, what's the font that you use on the previous thumbnails?

[@juliannaf4401]

I don’t think I can say it enough how excited I am for you to finally be in Scotland! I’m planning my honeymoon to be in Edinburgh next year so this content is even more exciting for me now

[@shan946]

mary, i’ve been dreaming of moving to scotland for a long time so im vicariously living through you and your journey. so refreshing! ❤

[@jacquelynnicole13]

Love your content. I’m going through it and your content brings me a lot of comfort and peace. It reminds me that we all have our struggles but just need to give ourselves grace and try to take care of ourselves in the best way we know how. Thank you for sharing.

[@briannasantos2908]

I’m currently in the process of moving as well under unfortunate circumstances and your videos have brought me so much comfort! ❤ thank you so much for sharing and being the light that you are❤️

[@emreese11]

Your happiness is infectious ❤️ thank you for sharing with us! I just got my prologues sweatshirt! 🎉

[@meganfrederickson7182]

You are my new favorite KZbinr!!! I’m binging your videos 🤗

[@oliviacarson7814]

I’ve been a silent watcher since I first saw you on Tik Tok (3?) years ago but I wanted to let you know how helpful it’s been to follow along with your moving journey since I just moved myself from Maine to Massachusetts! It’s my first time getting my own apartment and trying to make new friends outside of my boyfriend so it’s been a really emotional time so far even though I’m excited!! I actually listened to the “I Moved to Scotland” ep when I had my 4 hour drive leaving my parents’ home and it’s the only thing that kept me from sobbing - so thankful for you and wishing you the best as you get settled in and try to find a new favorite matcha place!! 💞💞

[@baileyzale]

Love watching you get back to the things you love in your new home!! ❤

[@MarySkinner]

It’s been a very slow journey, but things are slowly starting to feel a little normal!!

[@TheBandNerd129]

Can you make a video on how you oil your hair? If you have already and I missed it sorry! I’ve read so many conflicting things and I’d love to hear about your routine!

[@lilya1308]

Yay, weekly vlogs are back!! I'm happy for you; it seems like you're starting to settle into this new chapter💖

[@GodSoldier33]

Great video! and photo shoot. How ironic I've been following Scotland magic channel from since her move to Scotland some time now! So glad she's back regularly with her vlogs! This was a great video. loved it! A a little bit of everything! love those week in my life kind of vlogs especially after a move Cute pup🥰! Best wishes and blessings .💗

[@MollyMiller-t8j]

[@ScotlandMagic]

What an amazing shoot 🥹🖤 can’t wait for more magic in September ✨📸

[@MarySkinner]

Thank you so much for a lovely night! I will happy volunteer again any time you need a test subject 🫡🫡

[@emilyywylie]

I’m OBSESSED with how those photos turned out 😍

So happy for the content. You are such a safe and happy place for me. Keep being you 🤍

[@alyssawalzak2069]

omg the photos from your couple shoot turned out amazing!! 🤩 beautiful shots

[@iza_bella_j]

This is making me so excited because I’m moving to Edinburgh next month!! Such a wholesome vlog x

[@jancarlson2165]

Hi Mary! Fergus is darling! Ive been to Europe, Sweden, but its been a while. So beautuful there too, but the history and views in Scotland! I cant!! Nice haul from Health. Chomps are great so im sure these will be too. Ty fir sharing. Its so nice to see other countries up close.❤

[@caseymurtha]

The photos from the photoshoot stunning!! 😍

[@HalleWebster-v8t]

Hey, I have never tried a Chomps but from your description, as a Brit myself, I think you should try a ‘Peperami’ they are in most supermarkets and have green packaging it sounds VERY close to the meat stick ur talking about xx

[@nicolevz7500]

Mary! I just listened to your latest podcast episode and felt the pain in your voice when you spoke about the comment that sent you further into feeling badly about yourself. I just moved provinces (Canada) and that has been a challenge - I can’t imagine continents! Please be gentle with yourself and know that we understand and empathize. I remember checking on Monday for a new Prologues and not seeing one, and thinking, “oh man I hope she’s okay”. The fellow mentally ill girlies get it. You’re wise beyond your years and a comfort to so many - be nice to yourself!!

[@mariahmoniqueviorato]

I love kin euphorics! The light wave one tastes SO GOOD, it tastes like root beer to me! Funny story: when Taylor Swift performed “Back to December” as a suprise song a few weeks before I went to see her in concert last year I BAWLED. That song was dear to my heart so I was sad she didn’t sing it for my show lol. So my partner pulled a light wave out of the fridge to calm me down. I was super relaxed the rest of the night lol 🤭

[@SommerJones19]

Just absolutely love your content. Scotland is a dream of mine and this gives me hope that I’ll see it one day!

[@alyssacooley3487]

So excited to try the skims bralette I just ordered! Also my “naughty teenage” puppy is now three, so I fully understand the struggle. I also love how you’re hosting a 4th of July party! Sending you love from the US🫶🏻

[@katiefox7134]

For health food stores try holland and barrett! They are kind of expensive but they have a good range of options for health, beauty and food!

[@yaronshoshan9839]

I absolutely love the Fergus content also btw ur stunning don't forget that ever!

[@loukuleleee]

Your recent vlogs have made me even more excited to visit Edinburgh for the first time later this year!! I’m also now really struggling with fomo because I want to know what was happening in those audio messages I just know it was good 😂😂😂

[@rishatrivedi]

so happy watching your move to scotland!!! this video was my gym watch and brought me so much joy 💛 also if you liked the desi style masala chai at dishoom you can always try masala chai packets from any indian or asian grocery store :)

[@AGurgzz]

The chai at dishoom is AMAZING! At dishoom they sell containers of their chai! So you can always buy it to make at home too!!

[@MarySkinner]

Someone told me they have an online store, I need to stock up!! And I just learned about the dice as well

[@heidirazoian3697]

[@ashleykambeitz89]

Idk if you’ll see this but I can ask how you handle doggy day care? I want to do that for my 2 dogs like I know they would benefit from it but they’re very attached and I like already feel guilty just thinking about leaving them at one for the day. Did you deal with that feeling? Do you have any like tips or tricks to get over that?

[@audge_0583]

a little random, but what fonts do you use in the thumbnails of your videos:) I love the cursive and the more blocky font with the cool y's ~ its giving major inspo for my wedding save the dates

[@ilanasankowski7269]

Where did you get your couch from!? Love you!

[@MarySkinner]

Barker & Stonehouse! Believe it’s called the Penley!🤍🤍

[@grainnekelly9711]

Hey for supplements try Holland and barrett next time, They usually have really good deals for their supplements 😊

[@sarahjones3805]

Was coming to the comments to say the same thing! Love Holland and Barrett, and their members card gets good deals a lot of the time too!

[@kaseyangulo]

In your settings you can reset your for you page on tiktok I had to do that and my feed is so much better now

Is that the staircase from One Day? 😢❤

[@mariahmoniqueviorato]

Try eating local honey! I heard it helps you acclimate to the area so your allergies aren’t that bad

[@amyshaw4961]

Wait ... do you not have to do patch tests in the US before getting your eyebrows/hair tinted? 😂 love seeing you find those random differences

[@MarySkinner]

I’ve never done it but honestly we should!!

[@sarachristine5305]

Are you going to be able to drive there?:) not sure how all of that works!

[@MarySkinner]

Matthew drives here but I don’t think I am even going to try until we live in the country 🥲 and at that point I would get driving lessons!

[@mackenzie5716]

You need to get yourself a packable rain coat! That way you dont have to carry a bulky umbrella all the time. Ive been enjoying your moving vlogs so much! Glad you're getting settled.

You look very lit!! But don’t want it to blind you 😂

[@Madibaddie7]

Does Matt have a job there? Apologies if you answered this in a podcast already!

[@imogent4817]

I feel like it is standard procedure in the UK for salons to test you. Probably 90% of the ones I have been to have! Also if you are buying beauty stuff online, cult beauty is a good place to try, they have some brands SpaceNK doesn't and I feel like I can always get a discount code or something.

[@MarySkinner]

That’s so interesting, I’ve never had a salon in the US request that, but makes loads of sense! And I haven’t heard of cult beauty so I will check that out online 💘

[@CRR-624]

Why would you ask for a free photo shoot if it’s something you can easily afford? You should have let someone who can’t afford one have that opportunity. This vlog felt very much like you didn’t put any effort into it whatsoever. For someone that constantly touts being a creative, and having so many creative ideas, why do they never translate into your output? Your content is very much not creative whatsoever. I’m unsubscribing. At least be realistic with yourself, and don’t lie to people, calling yourself and your content creative.

[@CRR-624]

It’s just incredibly selfish, and self-absorbed to do that imo. Your lack of a work-ethic has really shown in your content lately.

[@rebeccaferguson6356]

To be so honest, tf is your problem? You respond highly critical feedback to just about all of her videos and it’s incredibly bizarre and unnecessary behavior to be completely honest.

[@CRR-624]

@@rebeccaferguson6356 it’s all valid feedback.
