Transcript

things that are & aren't worth the money Things that are worth the money and things that aren't. First thing that's not worth the money is a Dyson vacuum. I have three Dyson vacuums that are broken. Tried getting them repaired, they won't repair them. They suck. Sorry. Actually, they don't suck. That's what I wish they did. Also my Dyson fan, I have a Dyson fan and I don't have AC and that is providing no cooling to me at all. I have an Amazon one that I love way more. And I also have a Bissell vacuum that is so good. And trust me, I've always wanted to work with Dyson. So whatever. Also another thing that's not worth the money. I love the look of them. I love this brand, but Tekla. Tekla towels. They're so expensive. They're so cute. But I don't own another towel brand that I like the look of the towels more. But I have those on display and I end up using my Brooklinen ones that want to dry me. The other thing that's not worth the money is a Canon G7X. I use that a lot for vlogging and you can hear the camera kind of focusing in every single video. I have the Osmo DJI and I love that for vlogging so much more. Also the photos I got in digital cameras off eBay for like $40 and they may look better than a Canon G7X. Maybe not as crisp, but I don't like that vibe anyway. Things worth the money. Dries Van Noten fragrances. Long lasting, so many different ones and the bottles gorgeous. The Terra Cafe coffee maker. I swear by it and it has saved me so much money. Diptique and Loewe candles. The way the candles smell so good and make your whole house smell good.
