Hey. First congratulations! I watched all of your series. Some for many times ,some only once.
I appreciate one of your video in which you are having your backpack, that’s funny according to my taste.
The two videos are awesome. I also cut relationships with good friends even lasting for many years. Because it’s hard to read chinese mind. When someday I find someone is toxic I will stay far away for him or her in the long run. Something like ” my heart is broken,you are not who I consider you are anymore.” I am not sure something we do in regarding to it is in the same level. I just want to express it
I have finished college and I will be in college further. Regardless of my academic ability, I am questioning myself the real reason that makes sense to my life. Just one or two days ago, I think I almost find it. Now, if you have time, I want you to answer me this, what do you learn from your college? I googled your school before,it’s beautiful. You said school can’t teach you how to use twitter and facebook. Yeah, school can’t teach me you are here in wordpress or what wordpress is
I can tell you my college teach me how to each fame or scholarship or friends in china,and more! I know ehow in my class though its from an American teacher.
Have a good night ! I really appreciate the time and value you provided in these videoes. Keep doing the great work~
Sorry, earn fame. not each fame.haha`~
What I learned was simple and silly in college. How to work for other people.
I learned to run my own business selling books door to door in Alabama.
I find college out dated now, it will die, and the new education will take over in some decades.
I think it’s awesome that you did this experiment and shared it. We are told so many lies about the products we ‘need’ to buy.
I saw that you were thinking about doing a deoderant experiment and I just wanted to say I gave up deoderant last November and am not looking back! It really is not a big deal if you just wash really well under your arms every morning. As it’s pretty hot where I am now, I find that I’ll need to give a quick scrub in the early evening too. So yeah, for the most part you don’t stink, regardless of what the commercials will tell you! Also, considering you’re looking for love you may want to let your natural smell be- I hear pheromones are powerful:)
As for Q-tips, I haven’t been using them for months either- I am working on eliminating trash (soon to have my first ebook on that subject!) however I have the hard type of wax and I have to admit its been bothering my ears somewhat. Still lookin for solutions for that.
Also, I have long hair, which I poo about once a week. Has anybody said how this affects long hair? I suppose I can just see if it works for me tho, lol!
Anyways, I think this is the longest comment I’ve ever written. Thanks for letting me share.
Hey Carrie,
I’m on day 47 as I write this, and I won’t look back. I’ve been reading some stuff about shampoo and chemicals and it seems we are putting toxic stuff (chemicals are hardly regulated) which seeps into our skin and affects our bodies. I learned this after the shampoo experiment. Yes, we are being lied to, I even found out my lotion, a very popular one, contains some chemicals from crude oil. I stopped doing lotion too, it may seem difficult. If you drink a lot of water and eat well, your skin will naturally be soft like mine (so many girls are jealous).
Since you are having great results with the no DEO, I’ll take you up on the offer! Starting tomorrow (since I already put on some today) I will go no deodorant. I went from non humid to humid place and noticed some changes, also probably from all the fruit I’m eating smell wise.
What do you mean by eliminating trash? If you mean what it really means, this is a difficult feat in the US. You’ll have to use re-useable things for your food. It’s not impossible, though it will be a ton of work. Let me know when the ebook is out, I’d love to read it.
Unlucky for the hard ear wax, I got the watery kind. I’m sure there is some reason for it being hard or wet.
I’ve read about a ton of girls who don’t shampoo at all. From what they say, the effects are usually the same for short hair. Natural hair scent, more body in the hair, easier to style, and healthier body (because you don’t let those chemicals seep into your skin from your shampoo).
Thanks for watching the video Carrie, it was damn long with me ranting a lot. I think I covered a lot of important lessons I follow and have spent years improving these parts about myself.
When I am talking about eliminating trash, I mean quitting our disposable lifestyle. It is extremely hard in the US. In fact, I decided to write this eBook as a how-to guide because I wanted one for myself
The hardest part is that some regulations prevent use of reusable containers. For instance, if you wanted to get some meat at the meat counter, they are actually prohibited from putting it into your own container. So eliminating trash is really about how much you want to adjust your lifestyle (and how to do it), and demanding better from our legislative system and our shops.
