What up.
I have so much swag today and a lot of cat hair on me as well, what's up, how are you holding up?
*To Jiji* Jiji, I'm talking.
*Meowing*
How is everyone holding up today? Good? Great.
So I know we all have screens in front of our faces
pretty much the entire time we're awake now because we're just like at home and
there's not much else to look at other than
what's inside our screens. So I thought today I could show you what's on my phone and
I can share with you different apps and even YouTube channels that I enjoy watching during this time that
you know, make me feel better and happier and then put me in a better mood
So I thought it would be cool for me to show you today, what's in my phone other than my cat *chuckles*
Look at that screen saver
By the way, I'm wearing a towel on my head because I just washed my hair, in case that isn't obvious *chuckles*
Let's get started
So, this is the home screen and here I have, like, just the basic apps that pretty much everyone uses
So I'm not going to get into most of these but some interesting apps that I have here are
Number one is a Ecosia, and it's a search engine that you can use to plant trees
So yeah, that's Ecosia
Highly recommend that.
Another app that I use pretty often is Depop, in case you don't know this is
an app that you can use to sell stuff secondhand or to buy items secondhand and
you can find sellers from all over the world, from your country, from pretty much everywhere
And this is my Depop shop
Greece no longer ships to many other countries and no longer
accepts post from other countries. So yeah, things are a little bit weird
So in case you're gonna shop from my Depop shop, just message me first
Because your item might delayed significantly
The other thing you need to be careful of on Depop is most things are secondhand,
but a lot of sellers buy things in bulk from China new and then they sell it on Depop
So yeah, this is just a little tip to be careful when you're shopping on Depop to not
accidentally buy things that are new.
And then I have Blinkist, which they've also sponsored in a previous video of mine
I love this app so much
It basically takes every educational book that there is and they kind of smooch all the information up into a
seven-minute audio recording then you get to listen to and
this app has helped me learn so much about
various different topics
these are just some of the books that I've listened to on Blinkist.
Ok, then the other one is the Youtube app which obviously
you probably have already heard of that, since you're watching this video on YouTube
but I would just like to recommend some of my favorite channels that I've been watching lately that are fun to watch and
help me forget all my problems
So Damon Dominique is
probably my favorite YouTube channel right now.
I love his videos. I love his personality
his style and
what I really love about Damon's videos is that he is an incredible editor and filmmaker
so he has a lot of talent and his aesthetic is great and
usually people on YouTube that are like that are very boring, but that's not the case with Damon
Damon has a lot of personality and he's very entertaining to watch, he's very smart
which is also another thing that you don't easily find on Youtube.
So, yeah, the other channel that I've been binge watching
Micarah tehwers- teewers. (Tewers) I'm sorry. I don't know how to pronounce it, but I love Micarah and
I kinda think she's like, secretly a genius
cause once you start watching her DIYs, the costumes that she makes, she's not using patterns
whe's not like- she's just winging it and she's making professionally made
costumes and I'm always
kind of shook like how- how did she know how to do this?
It's very impressive and she does a lot of DIYs with thrifted fabrics
so she's also a hashtag Sustainable Queen and we love a sustainable queen on this channel.
Oh, and another thing, this is where I keep all my photo editing apps
Although I really don't use most of them, the only app that I use is Unfold
sometimes, for Instagram stories when I want to post stuff like my
Depop clothes or Etsy clothes and I use the Unfold
Filter- not a filter, it's like a frame that you can use that kind of makes it a little prettier
UNUM is also an app that I sometimes use kind of, to make sure that my Instagram feed is
slightly coherent but you know, just by looking at my Instagram feed you can tell that I don't really use it that
effective or that efficiently
And then the other app that I use is VSCO, obviously, do I really need to show you VSCO?
Then on the other page, I have a few other apps
CamScanner is a really cool app, I think in the
Quarantine Day One video, I showed you my green book that I use
it's a whiteboard notebook where you take notes, and then you take a picture with your phone
you save it on the phone and then you just erase the whole thing and write back on it again
And so I use the CamScanner app to, for example, like when I write my scripts for my video,
these are just pages of my green book
I took a picture of it and it saves it, and it saves the text, and it kind of erases the background and
it's also pretty useful when you're making drawings and you want to turn them into like um,
make the lines of your drawing more prominent and then the rest of it is white
So yeah, this is a drawing that I made.
Oh, Pi, this one over here.
So basically cryptocurrency is one of the worst currencies for the environment and
this specific cryptocurrency, called Pi, is the sustainable alternative to that.
I'm not like a cryptocurrency expert but basically, this
Mines the Pis through your phone
Especially now that we're all kind of losing our jobs and we're gonna be broke for the rest of the year
So maybe this is just gonna be helpful, maybe it's not, but either way if you do want to try
this app, you can download it in the App Store and you can use my my code KristenLeo, so you can sign up! *Chuckles*
Also another app that I've got on my phone is Vestiaire, and Vestiaire is like Depop, only for designer items
So yeah.
You can find a lot of things here that are super high quality
and in great condition and it's great also for gifts and since everything is
secondhand it's a lot more sustainable than buying this stuff new.
I've never bought anything from Vestiaire, but I might get like, a pair of sunglasses at some point cause
the sunglasses that I have, most of them are cheap and not ideal for my eyes
moving on from Vestiare to
Covet! *Laughs*
So, okay this is the only game that I have on my phone, I don't play any other games and
I don't even play that much. So basically it's a styling game where you kind of
fix your character up with different hair and
makeup, this one is locked so I can't change the skin tone or the makeup
but yeah, you can put the different stuff on your character and then you can put different clothes on
This is so immature, but like sometimes you're just bored, okay
and this is the game that I play on my phone. All right. Don't judge me.
Now, finally
There's the Good on You app. This app is a search engine basically
for
for brands. So you can search any brand you want. Let's put Forever 21
for example, and
it shows you the rating of this brand and it basically breaks down the labor, environment, animal
ratings that they've gotten and
it gives you a lot of details. So yeah, I get a lot of questions all the time
like "Is *this brand* ethical, is *this brand* ethical?" and this app can
really help covering a lot of your questions
my only objection with this app is that it's a little bit lenient for my standards like,
for me,
I wouldn't put "not good enough" on Forever 21, and I wouldn't put the two dots, I would just put one dot which is just
bad, you know.
Another brand like
Reformation, for example, they've gotten a pretty good score. They've gotten "good". There you go. So
anything that's from "good" and up for me is like, yes,
sure, buy it if you need it,
but anything under "good" for me is like a
If you can, just never shop from there.
So yeah, that's pretty much everything on my phone. I hope it gave you some
cool ideas for apps that you can use to shop
secondhand, or apps that you can use to be more sustainable in general
And yeah, thank you so much for watching and if you can, can give me a thumbs up, and subscribe,
