Hello! Sorry I've been away (only been two weeks, but that's a long time on YT now!). I've started a new job and lots of things have happened offline in the last month! Hoping to get into a rhythm as soon as I can

Beckie Jane Brown A lot. If you have anything that is silver there are jewelry polishing rags that make keeping the trays, etc clean of tarnish so much easier than those stinky cleansers.

It's nice to see how some people become so passionate about ordinary everyday day objects.

First, LOVE that top! I am a huge fan of getting to see people decorate their new homes. I get such inspiration. Everyone has their own artistic style. 😊

Just a little note, as two people misunderstood. I didn't 'haggle' over the salt/pepper pots. In charity shops, you don't haggle, though you may be able to do that in some vintage stores. The man in Mind was just very kind, we talked about mental health issues, my work with the Mind Awards and he wanted to wish me well with the home move. It was a goodwill gesture

Congratulations on your new job and happiness lately! you deserve the absolute world and I’m so proud of you

When you first mentioned that you bought secondhand, I did initially think it was a bit tacky. In the past year however, I've started thrift shopping myself and I am never going back! I love the prices and the fact that you can get unique pieces with a story.

Happy to see you're discovering it too! :DD

I LOVE this video. Second hand shops are my favorite. The other day I found a book I had been wanting for .35 cents.

I'm also such a gleaner! If I see anything that's been left behind or going to be thrown out that I can use, I claim it as my own!! And if I can't use it, I take it to the Salvation Army! I did run into trouble with that once though. Someone left a sweater in the laundry room of my uni residence. Everyone had already moved out so I took it. However, turns out it used to belong to the guy that was my roommate the next year! He hadn't even realized he'd lost the sweater so he honestly believed we just had the same sweater. I never told him 😂

Wow! Now that's a story!!! :). Gleaning can be great, providing we are careful! I found a glass vase in the skip outside my film school once, it turned out to be from ikea, but for five years - I protected that little thing so much! (Still have it!). I've found a chest of drawers on totenham court road after a shift at lust and brought them home on the bus! It's amazing what we can find a reuse! So much doesn't need throwing away just yet.

Watching your videos fills me with so much joy. You are an amazing woman. I don’t always agree with everything you say, but there have been many times you’ve said something that challenged my way of thinking and I came away with a different opinion or perspective. Just here, your thoughts on trash and recycling got me thinking I should really make more of an effort to recycle. I do always donate used items to charity, but right now there is cardboard in my trashcan, and bottles in the dumpster, because I didn’t make the effort to take them to the recycling center. Thank you for sharing your journey through life with us and for challenging me to be a better person!

I love how happy you are ❤ I'm glad you're in a good place

Great video Beckie! I love that you’re finding a groove in your new place :) Thrifting is so fun not only because of the prices, but because you can find things that are unique! Gotta love it! :D

This was a fun video. I love send hand shopping. You never know the hidden gems you'll find!

I'm honestly soooo happy for you!!! You seem to be doing much better and seeing how excited and happy you are brings me so much joy. ❤ You honestly deserve it!!!!

i love how absolutely unabashedly feminine your taste is. i was given a hard time by friends when i was younger about being girly so i’m always nervous to embrace that part of my taste. i love seeing you do it and you do it happily

It's so nice to see you have things that you've cared for have a home and use. I have yet to get my own place and I have to withhold from getting things I know I would need. This helped my "itch" a bit

Hi beckie can you please do a video on how to prepare to move out of home or how to prepare to live alone etc budgeting, preparing mentally etc:)

You look pretty happy :) it's indeed nice to find stuff that one likes for their home :) I hope you have a wonderful week and that the new job is going well. Keep it up, girl 💜 Thank you for bringing smiles along with your vids 😊

You are so down to earth and relatable. This what I come to youtube for, to find people like me. I love your style and taste, and I too am a huge fan of charity shops (thrift shops here in America). I've been watching you for years, thank you for being part of my life.

I'm really psyched because I found a cute photo frame for $4 yesterday. 🙌

It's nice to see your thoughts on populating your new place. I can relate to what you said about not really having your own place to decorate fully before. On a side note: I have those same little stair shelves. I use them for my spices.

I'd really love it if you did a charity/thrift shopping series! Like vlogs where you show us any good finds or what you buy :)

I love those little coasters, so cute!! & I'm so glad to see you so happy in your home. :)

I am so excited for you! This new section of your journey.Making your new home you is fun, and exciting.Congrats on the new job!And while yes, I did miss the normalcy you give me as things over here across the pond are so chaotic, you do have an offline life.And yes, I completely agree, the stories of the items in thrift shops are so worth continuing. The life of our stuff gets extended and they live rich unique lives.I don't know if I just made any sense. It's 2:40am, I need to sleep.Hope your day went well/goes well.Blessed be

Your new home looks so cosy and I’m so glad it’s full of pink! 💗

I think it's awesome that you take the time to go to the charity shops and look for items to reuse and recycle. You can find amazing deals on really great one of a kind things. I love our second hand stores and flea markets for just that reason. I think all the items you discovered were lovely, practical, and make your home look inviting. Nice to see the joy they being you too.

I love the loose color scheme in your flat! I'm moving in two weeks time and this video has given me some great ideas for things to keep an eye out for in thrift shops!

2015 beckie vibes! i love your hair and the fact you’re so strong. thanks for the message you’re sending it has helped me a lot. love you beckie ❤️❤️

Congrats on the new job, i am so happy to see you so jolly and smiling and energetic :)

So much pink. As a guy who's battling the remnants of his colour bias, it was hilarious. Positively hilarious. Lot of decent stuff here! Thanks for the video as always

This is so fun to see. I just moved a few months ago and did sort of the same thing hunting for perfect items at a discount or second hand. Enjoy watching it all come together!

Beckie I love that we share the love of second hand! I'm going out of town next week and there's a charity shop with the coolest metal tea set! I have no idea why I didn't buy it but I will definitely buy all of it if it's still there when I return!

You really can tell you’re happy in this video and I love it, it’s so nice to see! X

Before you talk down a price in a charity shop remember that all the money goes to people more needy than ourselves :)

I had such a stressful week and I was so happy to see your video on my subscription box. I wish you know how much your videos means to me. Also your joy is so inflectional. thank you

Thrift store shopping is one of my favorite hobbies, I also really only like vintage jewelry as well 💕💫✨ very cute items you found 😊

Beckie complains about some outside noise or apologizes for it, than i'm like, what noise? That's probably a testament to either how well Beckie set's up her recording or her skill at editing because i don't think i heard the noise she's talking about :))

I LOVE shelves in my cabinets! I think I have at least one in all of them. Kitchen, bathrooms, hall cupboards...

Yayyy you're back!!! Even though it hasn't been very long I've still missed you 😂 I love the new flat xxx

I found a quote recently that said something along the lines of, “Every home is its own cabinet of curiosities” ☺️ I love that.

Love you Beckie! You're beautiful ♥️

I've been away from the internet for a while and just got caught up on you, I'm really happy to see things going well for you, you deserve every bit of happiness coming your way and more

It’s a credit to your enthusiastic personality that you can take a mildly interesting subject like this and make it watchable. The isn’t intended to be a backhanded compliment. Some subjects are more or less interesting to watch, especially depending on who the viewer is. But you always make it work. Why aren’t you a tv presenter or chat show host? Good on ya, Rebecca.

Good to see you again, happy to hear about the job. Wishing you well.

Great video. Sounds like you found some good buys. Also appreciate how you recommend shopping at second hand stores because I love them too though: not clothing shopping because I am larger and its hard to find stuff I like in my size and I don't get to go too often nowadays because where I live for university there aren't too many good ones.

I actually picked up flower pots from the street, people just left them there. I always love finding something that I can use! Nice pyjamas haha

my favorite cutlery is the cheapest set from ikea - even though it is prone to bending, the butter knife is sufficiently serrated and the spoon shape is comfortable

As someone who also recently moved, I totally loved this.

I use your happy ramblings for background noise when i draw. very positive + +

I was so excited to see you've uploaded!!! Great video! I loved it! I love anything you make but the chill videos like this i especially love

I’m weirdly obsessed with homeware, I love it.

Flee markets and charity shops is really fun to visit :) you can always find a bargain on something you never knew you needed 😇

Those little "baking bowls" are called ramekins, at least in the US.

This is such a good video! ❤️❤️

I missed your videos! I love second hand stuff and a bargain, things are inconveniently super expensive now a days. Hope you good and happy on your new job btw.

In my neighborhood everyone sets out furniture items on the sidewalk one day a week. Taking twilight walks I have acquired about 5 IKEA tables over the years. I have never been to an IKEA :)

There's something so lovely about filling your own home with your own things ^_^ glad you're in a good place in your life! I remember you mentioned your apartment block has a facebook group - wonder if you could start some kind of swap system? so people would post e.g. a vase they don't want and ask if anyone wants to swap something for it/request specific items

Hi Beckie, its so nice to see you again ^^ I hope youre doing better after everything that went down the last couple of weeks, congrats on the new job. Lots of love from Germany

Your hair color looks particularly beautiful in this video! I love your videos, you're my favorite youtuber♥️

You're so cute in this video. And your hair is so gorgeous today!! The cutlery story was sweet. ♡

loved this!

I love that John Lewis cutlery range.

I literally love charity shopping too:)!

I too love thrifting 💜💜

Glad to see you so happy. ~Where I live there are only 3 charity shops. One smells awful when walking into the store. (I can't tolerate it). The others are okay but rather small.

"I am happy and that's the most important point. " Yes it is! 😊

Beckie, you can find the donut coasters at amazon. After seeing this video, I've searched on Amazon. Seen some that looked similar there. Like your shirt. You also like bellish sleeves. Most of my shirts have them. Miss hearing from you on here. 💐🍫

I didn't know any other adult who preferred plastic over china/glass!!!! It makes me happy! :D For me it's a sensory thing, I find glass and often china get a weird feeling when washed on the dishwasher and it's awful for me! So I've been using hard plastic glasses for as long as I can remember! Oh, and you look radiant today Rebecca! Much love from Madrid 💖💖

Great vlog Beckie ! 🐱☕️🍶

how did cutlery last you 7 years out of uni?!?! i’ve never heard of anyone keeping hold of their own cutlery in uni for more than a fortnight, it’s always a wonder if we have more than 1 fork between us in our house!

I second the preused stuff. I buy ALL of my clothes 2nd hand from Ebay, I can get really lovely brands for a fraction of the RRP and I don't go to special events much so I really don't care for them not looking brand new.

i am soooo the opposite of you. i hate having things. moving homes a few times in a year, everything i own eventually downsized fit in the backseat of my car and i found it so freeing ! i live on my own now so i have furniture and a washing machine but if i have much else i find it stressful.

I think those “baking bowls” are ramekins.

I’ve been watching you for 7 years? I feel old! That’s crazy!! I’m in my second year of university

I believe the word you were looking for to describe the bowls at 8:30 was ramekins?

I love the vibe of your videos since you moved 😊

Thank you so much for this video! I feel exactly the same about homeware and often feel frustrated when I see KZreadrs buying brand new stuff for purely aesthetic reasons.

I have the same set of cutlery but the new colour John Lewis set

I wish charity shops were a thing in my country

Loved this video! :)

Those baking bowls are called ramekins. : ) Great haul!

It's sad that charity shops around me are getting more and more expensive, they aren't always the bargain they used to be. Although homewares can be a good bargain at some of them. I can't wait to furnish my own home

I have some terrible thrift stores around me, which is a shame. But don't worry about the incense - as long as you're not burning too many sticks at once it won't set off the smoke alarm

I know that some areas have really expensive thrift stores near where I live. It's sometimes worth exploring different towns to see whether they have different prices. Saying that though, I was in a high street recently, where one shop sold everything at ridiculously low prices and the one next door were store prices. It's an absolute gamble sometimes...
