VLOGMAS DAY 13: starting healthy habits before the new year, how I've been feeling, etc!

[@carolineschorling]

I totally relate to the social media platforms and mindlessly scrolling. A big thing that has helped me is setting time limits on my social media apps in settings for my iphone. I've been loving vlogmas so far it really helps me wind down at night after my long days.

Loved your speech, a lot of it is true. You can get into any routine you want, your a strong person, you can very easily do that. This was an excellent therapy session. Keep smashing vlogmas. Stay merry. Stay beautiful. Love ya, bye.

[@janaeackenhausen8759]

I love the way you “talk” yourself through how your feeling and where you truly desire yourself to be! That not only helps you first and foremost, but then your viewers!!! Bravo Miss MacDonald... your doing all that you can and witnessing what you desire to change. Remember you are human... and striving to be the best that you can be each day. Thank you for all that you give. ♥️ xx

Loved this video 💕 a huge reason I love following a handful of content creators is their work ethic!! I’m so blown away that you don’t use a video editor during vlogmas- we love you!!

[@AlyssaMolina]

I love love love when you talk about topics like this! Makes me feel like I’m not alone. Loving the vlogmas content Maggie, don’t think too hard about content and just have fun with it! 🤍

[@anissaashraf9089]

your vlogmas has always been and still is one of my favorites 😭💗

[@JustADoggoGirl]

Maggie, can you do a “best things I’ve bought in 2021” ♥️ would really love to see all your favorite finds!

[@kelzirbel]

living for your vlogmas!!! its so relaxing and part of my night routine rn :))

[@isabellaanderson7189]

I’m right there with you, Maggie! We can be so hard on ourselves sometimes but all that matters is that we are aware of what we want to change. The most effective way to do it, is to do it. You motivated me to make the change too 🤍

[@stephguerra7412]

I definitely feel you on consuming so much media/things outside of yourself and wanting to spend more time reading. maybe we could keep eachother accountable and you could have an informal "book club" and each month you tell the audience the book(s) you are reading and we can tag along :)

[@MaggieMacDonaldVlogs]

I love this idea!!

[@sarahelizabeth6007]

hey maggie! your talk about habits really resonated with me, i’ve fallen off track because of being super busy with finishing my college semester and totally want to get back into it over my break. it was nice to hear im not alone haha, keep up the great videos! ❤️

[@deidreanderson1876]

Great vlog! Social media is exhausting and I recently deleted the apps off my phone-for my mental health. And I feel SO much better. It’s easy to consume and consume and compare.... but now just doing me without the distractions is amazing. Love your content lately 🤍🤍

[@sarahauf7126]

I know Cambridge when I see it!! Only recently discovered your vlogs and you were 90% of the reason why I came back to Boston early for the holidays. Loveeee the videos and you xoxox

[@AlessandraDiLeo]

Social media can definitely consume a bunch of time but i think if you find a good balance and try to only go on it when you finish all your errands or deadlines is the best thing you can do

[@amandalynnwood]

I lived in NYC and SF and just moved to Nashville and cannot even begin to explain how much I appreciate a parking lot

[@lezcuellar]

serious question... are the parking lots free?

[@amandalynnwood]

@@lezcuellar most are unless you're in downtown Nashville

[@lezcuellar]

@@amandalynnwood I was just wondering because that's how it is in Texas too!

[@marishlarosa]

I totally relate to the distractions! I’m studying for some really big licensing exams and I found social media really distracting me from my focus. I used to be a very determined person who wasn’t easily distracted and then COVID hit and I’ve lost it, but I feel I’m slowly getting it back! I’ve deleted tik tok and haven’t had it for a few months, Instagram is the hard one for me tho because I love taking photos! I love the talk you had with us, thank you for bringing it up ❤️

[@faakor4671]

Yeahh girrlll..you got this I finally got rid of Instagram ..I suggest you activate your app timers....you got this

[@Hannah-zb7ss]

I know this may not be exactly feasible considering social media is part of your job, but I use the time limits & downtime that are in iPhone settings & put a passcode that blocks me from going over a certain time on it! It’s really helped me use it more strategically & not just mindlessly scrolling as much!

[@fofeeuh]

Wow thank you for talking about the social media stuff, I really needed that

[@cls3nabi]

I love watching your vlogs early in the morning while at work :') different vibes and definitely cozy

[@lezcuellar]

it honestly is hard to find a balance when pursuing a job working in digital marketing/social media. you have to be super productive to get your career started, but you're also expected to know all the trends. it can be so fun, but there definitely is SO MUCH content. 🥺😂

[@kyratidball1510]

I love this vlog!! Balance is super important in life. But we also need to remember we are human, and we need to be gentle with ourselves. I write about content like this in my blog. Such important life skills.

[@carolinacollina526]

I love your vlogmas vlogs❤️ you’re doing such a great work, as always

[@maela-maya3330]

I look forward to your blogs every day. They make me very happy 💕

[@sailormoon8855]

[@Diana-kk6qz]

Love your videos. I was hoping you’d see since I’m early. Tysm

[@lucyssssssful]

I haven’t downloaded TikTok because I notice how much time people spend on it! I already spend enough time on Instagram and KZbin lol

[@ohemgeeitsmeN]

that’s why I never made a tiktok! I don’t see the point on having another social media platform I already have more than enough social media with just instagram & youtube

[@Mackenziemhyltonn]

What kinda coffee do you use!!! And what coffee maker is that

[@FloraGoodman]

OGs remember your daily spinach omelets when you lived in your college town

[@sailormoon8855]

Try a Korean restaurant if you have one in Boston just a suggestion 🇰🇷😂 yes I am Korean

[@jill5006]

[@emilia-sq1cy]

I feel like that with all these socials. I’m so happy to not have caved and downloaded Tiktok!

[@guilhermejunior2689]

Hello Maggie 🤗

[@JuliaMartinmL]

Honestly deleting Instagram and only downloading it for like an hour or two a day... life changing.

[@kjn-v1m]

I got rid of all social media. I have way more time to do things, like self care, gym, eating clean, focusing on my job and career, staying healthy and present with family. I can understand you because your job is by posting youtube videos and keeping your fans engaged. But to think that whenever a new app comes up - we feel forced to get it, to stay in track with the new trends.. especially in your job I can see why its tiring and or too much. I can say for me, I don't need social media to earn an income, but I can only imagine how stressed that is. But then again you will have to figure out, which platform is more important. I feel like people who make money on tik tok, dedicate their time to tiktok and take lets say -- that platform is their bigger source of income, rather than you who would be more focused on youtube since more of your audience is coming from here? IDK if that makes sense, but I feel like you shouldn't be obligated to have Twitter, Insta, Tik tok etc.... But i can see where you're coming from! You will figure it out!

[@healthpaje]

*I really like your speech* , and a lot of it is genuine. You may easily get into whatever habit you choose since you are a powerful person. Have a good time. Continue to be lovely. bye, bye

[@franswiss8427]

hey I'd really think you'd benefit if you stopped copying Emma's videos. As great as Emma is, she can't be replicated
