    • @KateBenz
      @KateBenz 12 днів тому

      Hi friend! I devoured that catalogue haha. And I'm so sorry to hear about the house going up for sale. I totally understand how bittersweet it must be for you both. Will you stay in the same area? xx

    • @susanvelez6534
      @susanvelez6534 2 дні тому

      I reviewed the catalogue thoroughly but ultimately decided to purchase only a few of the organic t-shirts you mentioned. As for the house, it's a bittersweet transition, but relocating from the mountains is essential for his well-being. The snow didn’t stop until June this year, and managing the snow plow has become too burdensome. I recently applied to a senior citizen apartment village and received a call today about a two-bedroom unit-what a blessing! The apartment is well-suited with features like bathroom bars, shower seats, and large walk-in showers. With his stem cell transplant scheduled in Portland, Oregon (about a five-hour drive from our current location) in three months, the timing for this move is ideal. Post-transplant, we will need to stay in the hospital for seven days. During this period, he will be isolated, and I will be on a small cot in the room with strict infection control measures. Following the hospital stay, we will be placed in special housing next to the hospital for daily visits for three weeks. If all goes well, we will have the apartment to return to, which will greatly aid in his aftercare, including showering him, managing his appointments, and supporting his recovery. With a team of ten doctors involved, it’s a considerable effort, but I am remaining positive and strong. However, I must admit that the process has been overwhelming, and I finally broke down today, feeling the weight of everything on my shoulders. I know your prayers are working my sweet friend so keep them coming. God bless you darling! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼💜💜🫶🏻 after this is over and the house sells. We will be living in my home that I have rented out at the present time. It too will be much closer to his doctors. ❤️

    I agree with investment pieces. What a great way to save some big $$$$. I’m so minimal about all I wear and have that it’s worth it to me to invest in like one or two things that last forever. I have 4 coach bags and a fossil and one Kate spade and one Vince camuto. All 100% leather and they haven’t begun to show age yet. And the pair of flat riding leather boots I have I bought 10 years ago and they literally have 2 nicks on the tip and the shoe doctor will fix them for me like new. Hope all is well with you Kate.

    Thank you for the kind reminder of how to specifically be more mindful when shopping. Something I've noticed for my own situation is to purchase for how I dress now. I used to work outside the home and am so drawn to dresses, however, I don't wear dresses as much anymore. I recently invested in a color analysis session (very fun) which was also practical. When shopping now I focus on colors that look best on me that I will be much more likely to actually wear.

    I had a horrible thing happen. I gained 60 lbs on prednisolone. I lost most of it and really don't want to weigh between 89-103 again. But I am still on Prednisone and I had a curated "fat ' wardrobe that worked for me, plus I unfortunately bought clothes while losing weight. So now I am afraid to get rid of them. I used to design clothes for some major brands and I have a lot of stuff I designed too and have 4 bulging closets. I'm getting rid of some of it. But hate donating things resellers will just sell. I am looking to find somewhere that will give them to someone in need, at least the work wear and casual things.

    Great tips! I have a closet full of clothes but I wear the same ones! Getting 2 subscription boxes probably doesn’t help. I might cancel one. What you said makes sense. Save money and buy a piece that costs a little more. I hope you and your husband are enjoying your new jobs.

      @@KateBenz I’m still getting Stitchfix because they carry petite sizes. I’m also getting Short Story Box. I’m 5’0” so I defintely need petites. Lol! I’ve started alternating boxes so I don’t get 2 each month. I hate that the clothes is so expensive though. Not many stores carry petites so I have to pay the higher prices on many items.

      @@KateBenz I have a beneficial suggestion for your UA-cam channel. As a search engine I use Duck Duck Go. I can either watch videos on UA-cam or through Duck Duck Go. If I watch through Duck Duck Go there’s no way to show I’m a viewer. No “like” or “dislike” option. Some UA-camrs turn off the option on how to view their videos. I know you want UA-cam to see how many viewers are watching. Is there a way to turn off being able to watch except on UA-cam? I hope this makes sense to you.

    I have a tough time putting together monochromatic looks. I think the varying shades go together, but once I lay them out next to each other, the undertones start jumping out and all of a sudden it's horrible. I'm sure they are really fine, but to me they don't match. I think I have all cool tones, but then all of a sudden one piece looks like it's now warm and it doesn't match. I am hopeless.

    Kate. I know this comment is delayed but I really want you to know that I was so inspired and grateful to listen to your thoughts on this matter. I am so soothed by the word you bring to light. I could listen to your words all the time. It helps me to understand what gods words mean truly mean because Somedays I’m so strong headed that I close my mind and can’t feel the joy I’m supposed to be receiving from the Lord. It helps me more than you can imagine. Thanks so much ❤❤

    • @KateBenz
      @KateBenz 26 днів тому

      Hi! The Quince jacket is a dupe for the one I'm wearing (which I purchased years ago), but their outerwear tends to run true to size. For ref, I usually purchase their jackets in a small or an XS if it's indicated as being an oversized fit. Hope that helps! xx
