Love your honesty lol. Keep that up! It's truly refreshing.

If I’m trying to apply for jobs or freelance gigs as I don’t have the experience. He would you go about doing this without experience. Learning on the job, in the field is what I’d focus on.

Awesome!

Loved this! I’ve been dipping my toes into sobriety and loved hearing how you handled your social anxiety. Congrats on five years!

Happy 5th anniversary - you are inspiration! ...are you reading my mind, btw... ???

OMG - you are also NeuroDivergent! We should definitely chat (even more now)! Also - I MAY have a musician lead for you... 🤔

I've quit my corporate job and have been travelling for the past year, looking to go into freelance and now my mind and life is a huge mess. I feel unproductive yet Im so tired all the time because I cant get up in the mornings and when 10am, 1pm and 4pm comes I feel like i failed the day and myself. THIS ROUTINE works because im also a night owl.

Congratulations on five years of sobriety! I relate to so much of what you say. I went sober 20 years ago and the amount of peer pressure I experienced then was ridiculous

Great video, I was looking forward to this one. I was never a big drinker, but several people close to me were. I felt protective over them, but didn't feel I could speak up about their drinking. Maybe it really wasn't that bad. I ended up just being a quiet enabler, pretending to drink along while keeping an on them. Congrats on 5 years 🎉

Hey girl 👋🏽

Thank you for sharing. Valuable insight! I cut out drinking not long after college graduation. It's amazing how much better your body feels. Fortunately my family was supportive

There is nothing wrong with a little alcohol here and there, but the key word is little. Far too many lack the discipline. That applies to anything... smoking, caffeine, eating, etc. Not to mention the financial stress of purchasing any of the listed items. Now factor in the physical/mental repercussions which can lead to high doctor bills or worse. It's a major snowball effect. I'm glad you are five years clean, no easy feat. Be proud of yourself. You earned it.

I found you during your freelance copywriting era via tiktok and I always liked your personality. I recently came across you on youtube and immediately subscribed. Regardless of what your doing, you're pretty cool and the fact that you're follwing your dreams and loving your life is even cooler. Keep doing what you're doing!

THE worst skincare video ever made.

Where do the days go? I have big goals myself and it seems like 9:30 comes way too soon and I still have so much to do

Definitely needed to find this video! As a neuro-spicy writer who's fully gone into freelance, I always felt weird not working 9-5 like my engineer / university friends. I can't wait to approach the week with this new mindset.

What TH-cam channels do you follow? I need to know more channels like yours! suggestions?

Love it love it love! You have a wonderful life Girlie!!!! (hashtag low key jelly)

"Ever have a crush on a youtuber so you watch all their videos?" That's...that's why I'm here. 😅

I'm loving this new style of video you're doing! I'm really struggling to stay in a routine so I love watching these

Most skincare brands - even luxury ones - don't have the budget for research & development (R&D) to really test their formulations. Many a developed at independent labs that create the same base formulations for multiple brands and then add trendy/buzzy ingredients that have no or little effect. Consumers expect to have remarkable results with skincare, and when they don't, they often blame themselves for not being "consistent" enough. For example, people expect to use SK-II and look like Cate Blanchett, but they won't without getting all the treatments and procedures she's had done. Brands don't *lie* the effects. They just elaborate the truth. They may say, for example, that a serum is brightening because it contains vitamin C. But is it a stable form of vitamin C? Is there enough in the formulation to actually have effect? In many cases, the formula has not been tested in any meaningful way. If you are interested in this subject, I recommend you check out The Beauty Brains podcast. They go into more depth about truths and deception in the beauty industry. They even review specific products. It's very interesting. I made this video to say that you have more power to change the appearance of your skin by living a healthy lifestyle and using a basic skincare routine, and also that aging is okay and natural. Don't let the man trick you into believing a magic product will keep you looking young forever. It won't, and you don't need to look young forever anyways. Thanks for watching my video! This is a small channel and I usually don't get many views, so I wasn't expecting anyone to see this.

Some truth, some not. Skincare products that say they have " rare flower essence" etc that kind are just marketing, but forexample retinol, C-vitamin and other antioxidants definitely NOT a scam. Antioxidants protects skin from free radicals. Sunscreen of course most important shielding the skin from collagen destrying effects of uv-rays. Im a skincare pro.

would you mind elaborating where you find the deception? i've always been critical of big claims but i still trust what the effects of certain ingredients might be. some brands have better formulations even with common ingredients. i use a lot of high end skincare and was hoping to be deinfluenced from them. but honestly i'm not yet. do they lie about the effects of their product? do they make stuff up about the effects? do they not have the correct amount of the ingredients to work? like which are the most common lies???

That video is click bait,you say nothing scientific or what you learned about skincare being bull💩 all you do is brag how good akin you got honestly is not that good!!! You don't even know what nicrodermabrasion is is just deep peeling🤡, you are totally delusional about how good you look😂🤦

Retinoids especially tret and spf daily can do huge difference!

When I stopped drinking alcohol 3 years ago, my skin improved so much. I'm 61, and people assume I'm in my 40s. Just one of many. many benefits of sobriety.

so are he derma all lying

genes, agree

Peaches! 🥰🦮 omg she is so frickin cute! My goldens name is Beau and he has a “skincare” routine. Basically it is me rubbing his face 😂 it started bc he would sit and stare at me while I would do whatever to my face. He just wants to always be involved lol

don't buy products because they are all a scam, proceeds to show a bunch products

tretinoin and sunscreen are the only effective actives, just cleanse and moisturise and you're good to go

I just found your channel today - because Bing search Ai recommended your freelance writing course to me. I like your vlog, so new sub🎉. I'm at the part in the video where you're tearing down the post-it notes of your business. Is freelancing worth it? Or did teaching it just seem pointless?

You are very pretty.

I agree. Genes, sunscreen, washing and moisturizing your face, and drinking water go a long way. I am 53, very fair like you, and people often think I’m in my late 30s to early 40s. My mom is 83 and looks like she’s in her 60s. She has always taken care of her skin too. I am just now starting to see more noticeable changes which happens to us all eventually. 😂❤I use the ordinary products too. “It comes for us all, if you don’t die.” No truer words have ever been spoken. 😊

I just wanna be friends irl

Playing catch-up is my 2nd language now lol

Do you think before you speak? There was no reason to say the word like 7 times in this clip.

Congratulations!!! I was doing ghostwriting but I chose to enroll in college for medical billing and coding and then focus my writing on medical / veterinary

Sounds amazing! 👏

OBSESSED with the idea of turning your house into like an bnb + production retreat for artists?? Like come stay with you for a week and record an album? Make it like a package deal for 3k? 5k? More, less, I don’t know what it should cost but there’s definitely a way to market it that offers so much value for the price. Also congrats on closing up FWG! It served you for a time (and others) and now it doesn’t. You gotta move on a do what you’re passionate about. Doesn’t mean you have to be broke in the meantime tho, relieved to hear you say you found a part-time copywriting gig. It’s like starting from scratch as a freelancer all over again huh? Rooting for you Colleen!

Hey, Colleen! I'm bummed that you're not going to focus on the freelance writing stuff, anymore, but...I also appreciate your clarity about what's right for you, as well as your boundaries of telling people what they will and won't find here. I still find your channel to be engaging and entertaining, so far, especially regarding manifesting, self-development, and other lifestyle stuff. I am a little jelly of your grilled cheese sandwich, though. I had to give up dairy and gluten recently, for health reasons. :( I've been having dreams about pizza, grilled cheese, and other bread and cheese combinations. I loved your "Blue Bayou", BTW!!

Hey Colleen, silent watcher here! 🩷 I just wanted to let you know that I actually prefer your vlogs - They feel cozy and make full-time freelancing look even more attainable for me 🫶🏾 Congrats on finding a new workaround for your music career! 🥰

Your hair came out so good, and YES I have a crush on you
