  • so just having a quick coffee before we get going, I am getting to grips with the new coffee machine on this has chocolate soya milk in.

  • And I've started a little bit of a trend in the office because everyone's copying my cup of coffee now.

  • Very nice.

  • Hi, everyone.

  • And welcome back to my YouTube channel and welcome it to a rather spontaneously filmed sit down video.

  • So spontaneous is that I haven't even done my hair.

  • My hair is actually still wet, but I was watching a video on YouTube this morning by the queen herself.

  • Patricia Bright on dhe I bloody loved it on.

  • So this entire video is just fully credited to Patricia.

  • I'm not even coming to try and make it seem like I'm doing No, not at all.

  • This is a just inspired me so much, and I loved video, and obviously the way that she does things is so like she just does everything so well and she's killing it on YouTube.

  • But this video gave me a bit of context to speak about a few things that I really wanted to talk about for a while.

  • So the video is some of the worst things that I've ever bought in my life, Pretty much on things that I think that hopefully by me telling you this will help you in not making the same mistakes that I made.

  • Basically, because there's one product that I bought recently and if I had known that this was such a links is going in the car.

  • Thanks.

  • Come it.

  • You always love the really plush carpet, don't you?

  • If I had known that this product was as bad as it is, I would never have bought it.

  • If all of the instagram girls that have this particular product in their pictures, if they had just let me know that it was the biggest waste of money, I would have been a lot of money better off pretty much links.

  • I was trying to think the way it Thio put this product on any of the other products.

  • I've experienced this on into a video.

  • On the moment that I watched patricians video this morning, I was like, That's it.

  • This is the video that I need to make.

  • So thank you so much, Patricia.

  • I would link her video and her channel in the description box below because it was brilliant.

  • I loved so much, and there's so many things that I actually agree with her on on.

  • I've had similar situations, so it's nice to know that I wasn't the only person.

  • But with that little explanation out of the way, let's get into the video.

  • So 1st 1st up was a product that's actually a really recent purchase on Dhe.

  • Whenever I've got it, people comment on it.

  • They're like, This is so heavy.

  • Oh my God.

  • But it's beautiful.

  • That was literally it.

  • Hitting my phone, then It's beautiful, but oh my God, it's like a rock.

  • How do you use this?

  • And I'm like, to be honest, it's one of the products I really regret buying.

  • So first up is my Luton phone case.

  • This this'll phone almost missed phone this phone case.

  • I'd seen it in so many girls mirror selfies on.

  • I loved the way it looks, the way it looked like it was a piece of luggage and it matched my petite mile bag.

  • And it's just everything that I really love about Luton Products is it's really well made really robust, and I thought this is gonna be the phone case I've wanted because I kept buying those apple phone cases on, I'd get the pink silicone ones and then after a few months it was falling apart.

  • That silicone was coming off, and I just wanted something that looked nice.

  • I didn't actually anticipate over buying this, but I went into overtime and I was like, This is just it's beautiful and a lot of love It on stuff is just stunning, and the craftsmanship is incredible, and I will continue to shop at Luton.

  • But this particular item, I would say, Please don't ever buy it.

  • And I wish more people have spoken about this because it's not a phone case.

  • This is a recipe for your phone to break.

  • All it does is increase the weight of your phone.

  • It doesn't protect it in any way, shape or form.

  • The only thing that might protect it at these corners.

  • Other than that, your phone as a whole sits on the outside of the case so it doesn't protect your screen.

  • It doesn't protect anything other than the corners and the thing that doesn't break on the iPhone.

  • So in hindsight, I really feel like this was one of the biggest sort of messed up because this is not cheap.

  • So overall, I think if someone had just said so what you just said, actually, this is a waste of your money.

  • I would never have thought to go and buy.

  • I would've been like, Oh, my God, I do not want to waste that money.

  • So I'm making the video that I wish someone else had made about this.

  • So hopefully hopefully this helps one person in not going and buying this.

  • And in all honesty, the craftsmanship that I love about Luton doesn't It doesn't feel like it applies here because even the back of this is already tarnished.

  • And I have barely used this because it doesn't work on anything.

  • I've got the charging pads that I charge my phone on.

  • It doesn't work if I want to plug in my DJ pocket, it doesn't work.

  • I have to take out this so is totally not practical.

  • You can't plug it into anything any kind of like USB adapter or anything like that.

  • You want to play your music?

  • It doesn't work.

  • So, out of everything, I'm just genuinely gutted about this because I feel like it would be impossible to even sell it on because it is.

  • It's just it's terrible on dhe.

  • I hope that just one other person doesn't buy this, Really?

  • But everything else I love that this such a waste of money and I will never, ever by a phone case that cost this much money.

  • Because, that aside, I'm gonna get a new phone soon.

  • It just doesn't make sense.

  • It doesn't make sense.

  • So perhaps I'll just go back to my silicone covers on Just take.

  • This is a learning curve.

  • But you heard it here first.

  • Don't buy it.

  • Second up is a lesson that I thought I would have learned by now.

  • And I just haven't.

  • And I'm so annoyed at myself at the same time.

  • I don't even think that this will be the last time that this happens.

  • So the second item that I completely wasted my money on is my birthday shoes.

  • These are a pair of Christian Louboutin shoes on dhe I purchased, ese.

  • I think from net support A or my Theresa is why the two I'll link hit them in the description box down below.

  • If you want to buy them.

  • I do get a lot of questions when I wear these, like where they're from, because they are so incredibly flattering on your legs.

  • And that was the whole reason why I bought them.

  • I wanted barely.

  • They're beautiful heels on The fact of the matter is, I've worn these twice on.

  • They are in a horrendous condition, like I couldn't even sell these on, and I don't even know how, because I'm not someone that gets in an absolute state when I go out or anything like that.

  • I'm very careful with my shoes on dhe.

  • A lot off my shoes I've had for years and years and years, so it doesn't.

  • It doesn't make sense why these shoes are in the condition that they are.

  • It looks like one of my cats has taken a chunk out of the side of this life.

  • I had a dog.

  • I would be blaming the dog for this because my cats don't see my shoes because it's honestly it's taken.

  • There's a huge chunk out of the leather here is just coming away.

  • You can actually see the like plastic of the shoe underneath on Dhe I've worn these twice.

  • I've worn these twice on.

  • The heels are gone, like, completely gone.

  • They are.

  • I'm touching this with my hand, which is pretty gross, but it's I could break this off.

  • Yeah, I'm just gonna break it off.

  • Look at that.

  • You could just see that it's completely off there.

  • The whole hell is just hanging off out of warnings twice.

  • I wore them once to my birthday on once in Capri.

  • That is a huge chunk out of the hell.

  • There's another chunk out of the back here.

  • The red actually lasted pretty well, which is not something that I thought would happen.

  • Oh, gosh.

  • But I really thought I would have learned after my experience with the Christian debutante, A girl like that didn't last very long.

  • They last longer than these ones, but I just I can't believe how bad these have lasted like it's.

  • I warn them twice, and I could never wear them again.

  • They suck me in with a beautiful, delicate designs, but that's exactly what they are.

  • They're delicate designs.

  • And I once heard the Christian Louboutin shoes are designed not to be worn on DDE.

  • I mean, I want to wear them because they're so beautiful.

  • So how do we get around this?

  • Their shoes that not supposed to be worn?

  • What?

  • So, yes, this is my second massive regret Wasted money on dhe.

  • I'm telling you guys this in the hope that I'll hold myself accountable the next time I think about buying a pair.

  • I can't say this is gonna be the last time, but I really hope that this is the last time I really do.

  • Because I don't want to waste money on a pair of shoes on.

  • No matter how beautiful they are, they should definitely be lasting longer than this sad times.

  • The second no third.

  • The third item I wanted to talk about is actually something that Patricia touched on in her video on Dhe.

  • She talked about so eloquently, But at the same time, I did want to talk about it as well, because I've just purchased a new car Andi would have seen in one of my previous blog's I'll link in the description box down below.

  • I went car shopping.

  • Andi, I pick up my new car this week.

  • Andi, obviously, I always get quite a few comments on things, and I think generally a lot of people get those types of comments on dhe.

  • Some of the comments on that video were, You know, you've got everything on finance, you don't own the cars, you're just everything's on finance.

  • So you're just like falling on a budget or something like that.

  • And I was like, That's such a weird mentality to have because I purchased a car outright quite similar to Patricia, except not quite as Bujji is hers.

  • Mine was my third car, I believe.

  • So.

  • I purchased my first car outright for I think it's 3500.

  • I got myself a box.

  • Of course, Sir Andi, I pretty much drove that into the ground.

  • I think I ended up getting, you know, 700 to £1000 when I sold it, but I had it for a long, long time on.

  • That was my first experience of like owning a car outright, But I think your first car, you really do tend to just drive and drive and drive and drive infertile the miles on it.

  • And that's just the way that it goes.

  • My second car.

  • I actually got a loan on it.

  • I bought my sister in law's car, Andi.

  • I bought I got a loan to pay off and then paid it off in full.

  • Andi owned it.

  • That then sold it.

  • If that makes sense on because I wanted to own the car, I didn't want it to be on finance or anything like that, because everyone always hammered me like you buy the cars.

  • You don't buy a car that you can't afford.

  • Andi, I let that stay with me.

  • So when I got to my third car, I had a little bit more money to play with.

  • I had I think it was about £12,000 set aside to get the many of my dreams basically, and this was such a momentous moment.

  • I'd always wanted, like a really special mini Andi.

  • I loved money is I still love Minnie Minnie's.

  • Now if I could buy myself one just outright to just have to just run around and I would I love driving them.

  • They're such amazing cars.

  • But I wanted the two seater Roadster with the soft top again because she got herself a soft, soft top on and I did the same happen England literally.

  • I was.

  • You know what?

  • My problem with having the soft top down was the fact that a I was scared about being put on by birds and be spiders.

  • There are nightmare for spiders, so yeah, Anyway, ridiculous.

  • I purchased the car outright for about £12,000 on Dhe.

  • I was so, so proud of it.

  • I loved that car, but at the time, Allie and I both had to see two cars on dhe.

  • It was totally impractical.

  • So I thought to myself, You know what?

  • I have it for a year on.

  • I'll sell it on on dhe.

  • At least I got to have fun, have a convertible and have the many of my dreams for a little bit of time.

  • A year later, I sold that car for £6000 on this car wasn't even brand new, so this car was second hand.

  • It had, like, 18,000 miles on it.

  • So really, when you drive a car off the forecourt, it loses a lot of its value.

  • I didn't even do that.

  • Mine was second hand, and it's still in a year's time.

  • Lost half, and I was like, This is ridiculous.

  • How is this a thing?

  • How have I just lost in a year, half the amount of this car?

  • It was craziness to me.

  • So when we finally got around to getting a new car, I decided that I'm not doing that anymore.

  • I like driving really nice cars.

  • I like having cars are a little bit newer.

  • Andi, I get bored and I like to change my cars.

  • I'm not really the type of person to run a car into the ground.

  • Maybe like later on in my life.

  • I will, but I'm a bit young.

  • I'm enjoying myself.

  • I just wanted a car that I want nice cars.

  • That's basically it.

  • So I decided Thio start getting cars.

  • I could change more regularly, which is obviously, there's like hire purchase.

  • There's leasing.

  • There's loads of different options that you can do it so that you don't actually own the car.

  • Because cars are depreciating assets, they are not an investment.

  • Unless it's a classic car, you are not making an investment in a car unless you're the type of person that runs into the ground, which I am not.

  • So when people were writing on my video like, Oh, you're in everything off on it.

  • I was like, That's actually something that I probably wouldn't advise unless you are the latter.

  • I'm not.

  • So I always like to have a really strong, robust, reliable car around me on Dhe.

  • That's usually the newer models.

  • I feel safe, and that's great.

  • But yes, So I would probably say that in terms off wasted of money, that car was one of the things that I really did regret.

  • So I still talk about it now.

  • I like this many.

  • I'm like, Oh my God, I can't believe I spent so much money on it and I didn't even have it for like two years.

  • So I definitely known a lesson from that.

  • And I think that there's obviously a lot of misconceptions that you have to buy a car out, right?

  • Obviously, if you've got the money to just have cars and cars and carts down your driveway owned and it doesn't matter what happened to them, absolutely.

  • That's not the kind of money that I have on dhe.

  • I really have to consider what is the best way for me to put my money into a car because At the end of the day, I'm not I'm not gonna make money on it, But the best so off choice to go into with it is the one that keeps me happy and enjoying driving my car.

  • Also safe, but also saving as much money as I possibly can rather than just frittering it away on a car that's gonna lose all of its value on I'm gonna sell two or three years down the line.

  • So, yes, I thought that this was a really good opportunity to expand on my experience on that.

  • But also share, Yeah, my car history, basically.

  • But obviously I will be doing a pickup of the car that I am getting.

  • And I will be doing a review and what's in my car in a cart or all of that stuff.

  • So stay tuned, because I pick up this week, Andi.

  • Finally, the one thing that I would say probably around my house that I wanted to say that I probably wasted a little bit of money on on to just speak about in terms off something that I think a lot of people think is better on it doesn't it doesn't necessarily cost a lot more than the other, the alternative option.

  • But I wish I'd known a little bit more about the man made substance is rather than the natural ones.

  • So when we first moved in the house, we had our dining table made on my dressing room Countertop made out of marble on.

  • I was just like marble.

  • You know, I'm really I want this to be super special.

  • This is a super special room.

  • Both of them were.

  • I wanted marble in there.

  • The kitchen needs to be a little bit Maur.

  • You need to have a little bit more wear and tear, so courts is fine in there.

  • But in those rooms, I really wanted it to be super special.

  • Unfortunately, I think it would have been better to just go for the wear and tear.

  • And I love marble so much.

  • But the there so many amazing quartz surfaces, especially from places like Caesar Stone.

  • We got our work tops in our kitchens from season to season stone.

  • And I actually prefer the vein ing in those.

  • Andi, I think it would have been a lot better, Especially my dressing room.

  • My dressing room countertop is covered in like dinks on marks and scratches because it's just so soft on.

  • We definitely realized when we had friends over for dinner and seeing, like how worried they were about ruining our dining table.

  • That's not the kind of environment that we want to have in that room.

  • And it's not the kind of environment that we want in our house.

  • We don't want people to be worried.

  • We don't want people thio feel like they're treading on eggshells in our home.

  • I've definitely, said Ali, that we just need to relax and let what happens happen and hopefully that the marble will look just as beautiful when it's Gabi of character and it's had a little bit of wear and tear on Dhe.

  • It's not so perfect and we kind of let go of it a little bit because, yeah, I don't want people to feel worried.

  • So definitely if I could do those things again, I would put my money into the more man made substance is because they're just a lot more durable.

  • Andi, you don't have to be so worried about them, so I thought I'd include a little bit of a home where one in here is well, but those are four items that I completely just wasted my money.

  • And I feel on dhe.

  • I really just wanted to share those with you and this this video again showers Patricia for it because I watched it howled all the way through.

  • Loved it.

  • And I was like, I've got my own.

  • So don't get to check out her video in the description box Down below on.

  • If you enjoy this video, please, please, please hit the subscribe button down Blokes.

  • I'd love to have you back here for more videos, and I appreciate that.

  • I have used my hands quite a lot in this video.

  • I feel like I've just done a workout.

  • So apologies if my hands have been going like, oh, away three, but yeah, hopefully I'll see you in my next video.

so just having a quick coffee before we get going, I am getting to grips with the new coffee machine on this has chocolate soya milk in.
