Product placement

UGG: ACTS - the creator shows multiple pairs of UGG boots and slippers, discussing how long she has owned them and how she acquired them. Removing this would change the video's focus on her footwear collection. UGG: APPEARS - mentioned as the brand of the boots and slippers. Removing this would not change the video's content as the items are visually identifiable.

I don't buy things unless I have to part 15

Transcript

I don't buy things unless I have to and that's how I maintain a steady bank account. I have three pairs of ugs, including my tasfin slippers. These are my first pair of ugs ever from my sister on my 17th birthday. I've had these ugs for more than 10 years. These ugs were from an X about 6 years ago. These ugs were from an X, maybe two years ago. However, I did buy these tasfin ugs. When I'm receiving a gift, I request things that I truly need. Things of quality. I'm not asking someone to spend $500 on me. No. I think those were all from Christmas and when people say, what do you want for Christmas? I said, "Pear bugs." "Pear bugs, pear bugs." And that's it. I don't need a birthday gift. I don't need like a anniversary gift, just give me something that I need. My taschino slippers, I worked extra at my serving job, so I was able to give those to myself and I had a coupon for it. I haven't bought ugs for four to five years. I don't keep up on latest trends. I don't care about latest trends. I wear what fits. I wear what's comfortable. The sweater was even frayed. I think it cost me like $3. These leggings were on sale at Target. I'm not keeping up with trends and that is how I stay frugal. That is how I saved money. That's how my bank account stays at like a steady pace, steady rate.
