What is Vlogmas?
In 2021, you are probably well aware of the concept of Vlogmas, but just in case. Vlogmas is a Christmas – get it, Vlogmas – event where YouTubers create and upload videos every day in the month of December leading up to Christmas day. In the world of YouTube it is a holiday tradition.
Vlogmas videos aren’t the typical daily vlogs that showcase a creator’s lifestyle and daily events. Vlogmas videos are about Christmas and other holidays festivities in December. Creators will upload a video every day until Christmas Eve. Uploading a video everyday can be overwhelming to some so, some YouTubers opt for 12 days of Christmas.

Vlogmas Day 15_The Worst Luxury Purchase of 2021
In this video, I share my WORST luxury purchases of 2021. Through the sound of my disappointment, I try to explain why I consider them my “worst” luxury purchases of the year.
In all seriousness, some items made this list because, they simply didn’t work out for me and my lifestyle. It was personal. While others… There isn’t a nice way to say this…they just suck! Some items shouldn’t fit into anyones lifestyle.
For whatever reason, these luxury items were the worst decisions I have made when it came to luxury purchases in 2021 (like we didn’t have already enough to deal with). Even though they are beautiful – and some even very popular – I could have done better! I should have done better.

Every year it is the same problem and I give the same speech. Birthdays that are very close to Christmas tend to get LUMP IN so some people tend to lump in with Christmas. Nope! No ma’am, no ham. Two separate holidays.
So to help with the confusion, I am sharing what is on my wishlist…for my birthday 🙂

What’s Next After Vlogmas.
Vlogmas was fun! 2021 was my first time participating in Vlogmas. I believe I deserve to pat myself on the back. Not only did I complete Vlogmas, I still enjoy sharing to Youtube, even with the stress of uploading every single day for 25 days straight. Vlogmas is not for the faint of hearts. It was fun, but I am glad it’s over.
It is time to bring in the New Year! 2022 better act right or at least better than her cousins 2020 and 2021.
