Niomi, you are seriously a breath of fresh air. You don't sit around and mope and stay indoors, when you have a bad day you make the effort to go out and make yourself feel better. In a world where it is now glamorised to stay indoors and feel sorry for yourself, you're so refreshing. I can honestly say that you are a genuine role model young girls, and I can't say that about many youtubers.
It is nice that she pushes herself to feel better. But...people who DO suffer from Anxiety and Depression cannot do that most of the time. That's why it's diagnosed as a disease- makes it difficult to get out of bed and function. If someone struggles continuously to function because of a mental illness, it's definitely worth noting those people too can be worthy of being a role model for enduring their struggle. And it is okay and healthy to mope sometimes- everyone needs a mental health day every now and again, wether they suffer clinically or not, and I feel like being okay with that is definitely not glamorizing anything. Simply becoming more aware. (Note that there definitely are some people who seek attention, but also we really don't know who is and isn't "faking"- because symptoms manifest differently and to different extents, only they and their physician know the history of their health both mental and physical.)
This is different to what we're used to seeing from you but the good different. I love this because it just proves how real and honest you are. There are better days to come! Thank you for inspiring me to start my TH-cam channel and to be a better person, Niomi!
I finished my thesis in January, which was a year of research - basically making a book! I felt like this after I finished too. It's completely normal. My counsellor told me that when you are working really hard on something, and you have a productive level of stress and adrenaline, when you stop your brain is depleted of all these chemicals that have kept you going for the final push and your mind is flooded with cortisol. So for a couple of days, sometimes a few weeks, you feel a bit flat. That's ok! Just look after yourself, relax, keep your support network strong, exercise and eat well. And know that you will feel happy soon!!! You're amazing xx
Just finished the hardest semester of Uni of my life and I've definitely felt like this before but not for so long and I can't get myself out of a funk so thank you because that comment made me feel a little less stressed about feeling stressed and anxious. So thank you.
+MELISSA LOUISE I think it's important to accept that it's ok to not feel amazing all the time! After a stressful time, which it sounds like you've been having, it's so important just to be kind to yourself. Binge watch your fave show, read that book you didn't have time for, have a coffee with a friend you haven't seen in a while, plan a holiday, go for a walk or do something that gives you joy (exercise is key!). All things that helped me :) Congratulations on getting through the semester!!
I've been crying all evening because I feel so alone tonight - divorced from my husband of 13 years, no real friends, no children, money is tight, change of job...yet this video cheered me up a bit. Thanks Niomi.
I've had a rubbish day too, yesterday and today, but after watching this video it reminded me that it's normal to have bad days, it's a part of life and no matter what life throws at you, take each day as it comes, because tomorrows problem will not magically disappear after you stress and worry yourself today. It's important to live for the moment and try your best to keep positive and optimistic about the future xx.
Love that you showed kinda a new side of yourself. Proud of you for getting through a rough day and rough times in general. Loads of love to you Niomi! Also preordered your book the second you announced it! Can't wait to get if and try all the recipes xx
Ok how did this happen? I was having the most terrible day (week as well) but specially today, I came on youtube with tears on my face and then I see the title of this vid and for some reason I smiled. At least I know I'm not alone and everybody is going through a hard time :)
Jim is really such a lovely person. He has always been there for her after she got a bit disconnected from the rest of the group. Niomi you are amazing and hope you feel much better:)
Even on a bad day, you still seemed quite optimistic. Nothing is as perfect as it seems on social media, and that's an important message to spread around. Thank you for opening up, Niomi. x
This video has really cheered me up😊 I've been diagnosed with depression and I haven't been to school for a long time and it's my first day back tomorrow and I'm really scared😔 you telling us to our fears has really motivated me to get out of bed in the morning💯 love you niomi xx
Dear Naomi, so sweet of you to be this opened with your followers. But don't worry, you will soon feel better. Don't push yourself too much. Relax and enjoy life, you already achieved so much. It's okay to take a break for awhile... :) xxx
For a while I thought that you were just way too perfect and lucky to be true, Niomi. Honestly, I am so so grateful that you uploaded this video because for a while it was depressing for me to watch others' vlogs where they'd be spending time with friends, going on crazy amazing adventures and just having the best time of their lives. This actually brings so much positivity--we can be truly honest with each other and resonate with one another! Love you so so much! xx
I think it's good you letting us see the bad days as well, It makes you more relatable. I don't know the reason for you feeling a bit down but my best advice is to talk about it. Totally understand that youtube might not be the best place for that if it's a personal topic tho, but there is places you can go and talk, i recommend it! I've been feeling quite sad as well, and i really appriciated this video. Thank you for being you!
She still turned her bad day into a positive outlook for all those who watch her. No ones perfect or happy 24/7. And to not get hard on yourself. Love her
Glad you talked to your loved ones Niomi, bottling things up can make things seem even worse. Coming out of a long term relationship must have been a big change for you so don't underestimate it, you've done brilliantly and you're resilient! Daisy must be such a cheer up too.
I love seeing you like this, not at all because you're sad and have been having a rough few days, but because it makes you human. It's so nice to know you're not alone in having bad days and I much prefer youtubers like you who are real and genuine than anyone who is happy 24/7. Thank you so much for this, I needed it xx Please continue being you :)
See this is why I love Niomi. She's a vegan/on a plant based diet but when eating with other people and they choose to eat meat or have a different lifestyle to her she is not constantly on their case and rude to them and criticize their choices constantly. She is a fine example of how a vegan should act! Promote the lifestyle, the benefits through her book and videos but not force and bully people to live her way and respect that other people may have a different opinion to her! Also loved this video! It has such a lovely message and shows to us viewers that no one has a perfect life and everyone has down days. Hope you feel better soon Niomi :)
''Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet; and especially whenever my hypos get such an upper hand of me, that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically knocking people's hats off--then, I account it high time to get to sea as soon as I can. ''
The fact that you maintain your kind and gentle spirit even on difficult days makes you even more beautiful in our eyes. ❤️ And the thought of you sitting in your room with your mother and stepfather talking it through is so lovely. Thank you for sharing so much of yourself.
I had a bad week too! D of E in the pouring rain, never appreciated my home more. I never cry and I got so homesick when I thought no one was around I broke down and mouthed, I want my mummy. Now that it's over I feel so relieved and proud. These hard moments are good for us because they show us our strength. God be with you Niomi
honestly, Niomi being so honest and real in this video made it so special because not every youtuber does that. hope she's in a better state of mind now. xx
Niomi, you are such an incredibly beautiful person on the inside and outside. Even when you're having a bad day, you try and look to the happier side of life, and to me, that's extremely inspiring. I hope you'll feel better soon! :)
love how you show yourself even when your are not in the best mood and how you really show that it is okay to not be 100% happy all of the time. thanks for that
I got emotional halfway through the video because just last night I had a really bad panic attack and even today was off like something was bothering me but I couldn't really pinpoint it and I felt bad for my sister having to see me like that and later I was wondering why couldn't I be one of those people who were happy and positive all the time but this video made me realize that even the happiest of people have down days. It really inspired me how even though you were having a bad day, you didn't let it take control over you, but rather you took control of it. You knew you needed to do something so you just took the day off and did what made you feel better and turned a bad day into a good day. It was really refreshing. Thank you!!!
The first few weeks after my daughter was born, I was so down. Hormones are horrible. Incredible to see such an honest video. You've been so busy, it's completely natural to not feel 100%. Sending you love x
I do the same thing, if I'm having a bad week, I immediately start thinking about going home and seeing my mom :) Thanks for opening up like this, Niomi. I personally really like these more open, real vlogs in addition to the happy, upbeat ones.
you shouldn't say sorry for having a bad day. everyone has it. it's totally normal and it's so refreshing seeing a different side of you which we totally love! hope you are feeling better, niomi! thank you for everything you do and thank you for being so humble and kind and being such a wonderful person! love you xx
This is so refreshing! Because mostly you only see a one sided part of your lives, especially when I'm having a bad day aswell... Shows that it is okay not to be okay xx
This video has just been amazing! Whenever I just need cheering up my mum and I drive to the supermarket and get a tub of ice and just chat, it's the best way to relax and just be able to know that everything will be fine. Every girl needs their mum xxx
You are absolutely one of the most beautiful people inside and out. It's okay to have bad days! Without sadness, we wouldn't truly understand happiness. We wouldn't appreciate the good days for what they are without the bad ones. Thanks for sharing.
I don't think I've ever seen you sad. You're always so positive! These kind of videos just show you, TH-camrs don't have perfect lives. They have bad days. They're not perfect. Love you Niomi ❤️
I'm diagnosed with severe depression and anxiety, and I'm currently taking the highest type of medicine, one is for the voices in my head, that are constantly there, telling me to kill myself and that I'm worthless, etc. I get constant attacks.The other is a strong type of antidepressant (high dose of fluoxetine). I have been off school for 6 months, my concentration is barely there, I can't read or invest in any conversations, and I can barely go outside without having a panic attack (that's from the social anxiety). It's my birthday tomorrow and I really hope I have an okay day. This video has helped. Love you niomi xx
awwwww Happy Birthday for tomorrow hope it's a happy day and I hope you get better soon (I know it can't go away forever but at least it can get better)
Yes. Sometimes you just need your Mom. No matter how old you are. So true. My Mom passed away 2 years ago and I really really miss her. You are so beautiful and inspiring. I love your videos. This one was beautiful!
Niomi you Are gorgeous ! Dont let the old things or new beginnings bring you down. Life has some good plans for you and everything is going to be how It has to be in the end. I cried my eyes out seeing this video because I could instantly feel the pain you try to cover with work. Take a break, talk about all the pain with the people who love you. You have some amazing Friends ! It's so okay to feel down, it's not a sign of weakness. Always remember that everything Happens for a reason and the end of one thing means the beginning of a better thing
I completely understand how you feel Niomi. Just be positive that it's just a bad day/feeling and it will go away somehow. Love you, you are such a charismatic person.
i think that it's so important to share both good and bad if you are a vlogger. Within your comfortzone of course. We don't need any more perfection. we need realness and authenticity! ☺️
Can relate to this. Had a rough time the last 3-4 months and sometimes you can't pretend you're ok. It's ok not to be ok. Sending you so much love. Your videos make me feel so calm relaxed and happy! Xx
This video legit made me cry. I love how lovely Jim was to cheer up Niomi and I love how she can open up about her feelings. I hope you're feeling better Niomi xxx
Just wanted to acknowledge how amazing you are Niomi!! I love how you have such a positive attitude but also show us how it's totally normal to have a bad day. I honestly don't know how your able to do all of the amazing things you do like running an amazing channel and blog, writing an entire book, and probably a whole lot of others things off camera. Just wanted to let you know that you are appreciated and loved :)
I hope you're feeling happier soon Niomi. I think it's really good that you're showing that TH-camrs are real people, who aren't happy all the time. I love you💕
You are such a beautiful soul Niomi. You shouldn't apologise for having a down day. You're human & we all have them. Even when you said you were down I found you lovely to watch. I hope things are looking much brighter. You should totally come to Australia for a holiday so us Aussies can meet you! xx
I respect you so much for being so wonderfully open about the reality of being on TH-cam and also being a normal person who struggles with ups and downs. You were still just as wonderful to watch! I hope you feel better super soon xxx
I had an absolutely happy weekend with my dad to be honest. My parents are separated since I am 2 years old so I don't know how it is to have parents living together. But what I know is that many situations are so difficult even though my parents are still "friends". Even though it isn't easy. You always have to decide between them. The weekend was so great but this evening my mum wasn't happy with one of my decisions between her and my dad and so the great weekend ended up with such an miserable and horrible evening. To see now this video feels so good. I love you! ❤️❤️
Your happiness and overall mental health is far more important than us waiting to see the cover of your new book! No need to be sorry. Take care of yourself niomi xx
Niomi I'm so happy that you said that you want to escape when you're feeling down because I've always felt like nobody felt that way except for me. It's sooo good that you openly talk about this. Thanks for making me not feel alone, big hug from Holland
i feel exactly like you whe i have bad days, school and people just get too much for me and i want to escape somewhere like to watch your videos and see that you are genuinly the same as normal people is just so comforting. this has really helped me think that family is all you need to be happy xx💗
You are such a beautiful soul Niomi. You shouldn't apologise for having a down day. You're human & we all have them. Even when you said you were down I found you lovely to watch. I hope things are looking much brighter xx
While watching this I had actually had quite a bad day myself and I think it's so inspiring to see how you deal with your bad day(s). You seem to still manage to stay positive in a lot of ways and I really admire you for that ❤
I just finished a massive project too and have been having a difficult few days where I've been a little withdrawn. Thank you for inspiring me to reach out and do things for myself, I needed this video and I'm so grateful you have shared. I hope you feel better soon Niomi you are truly one of a kind x
I appreciate how honest you were in this video, especially in the beginning. It's nice to get that reminder that you guys on social media are real people and you have different emotions beside happy and cheerful. And it's also nice to be reminded that sometimes you just need a few little things that you love to help brighten a bad day. I hope these weeks to come are better for you and you feel back up to your usual self in your next video.
Yesterday I moved 200 miles away from my parents and my fiancee. The start of today was horrendous and I was extremely close to getting on a train, returning home and running away from my problems. This afternoon I have somehow started to turn things around and am starting to feel okay(ish!) - I'm determined to be positive and have a good day tomorrow, put today behind me and move on. I'm going home on Friday for a family event so I have that to look forward to and am going to try and have a good week. Thanks for the video Niomi, it couldn't have come at a better time for me.
I don't know if you ever going to read this but if can give you one advice it would be to stop saying "I'm sorry". You don't have anything to apologies for! Just do you!
this honestly made me feel so much better about having bad days because sometimes you can forget that everyone does have them no matter how big they are in the world!! xxx
Please don't ever apologise for experiencing human emotions - how can you be fully happy when you don't know what it's like to have a bad day?! You are a brilliant and inspiring woman and i hope that you are feeling better soon
I think everyone needs a Jim.
Nims you're very lucky to have such a special friend. I hope you've had more good days.
so true
I wish I had a Jim😭
I want a Jim :(
i realise that every single day. seriously.
I feel like tanya is so so lucky 😍❤
Niomi, you are seriously a breath of fresh air. You don't sit around and mope and stay indoors, when you have a bad day you make the effort to go out and make yourself feel better. In a world where it is now glamorised to stay indoors and feel sorry for yourself, you're so refreshing. I can honestly say that you are a genuine role model young girls, and I can't say that about many youtubers.
***** Nah, indoors is glamorised. Like unfortunately depression and anxiety has become a bit trendy (no disrespect to people who actually have it).
really? people are always talking about when youre sad you should stay in bed eatingg ben and jerrys and junkfood and watch netflix
+MissVelvetcherry ew
I'm a big bearded tattooed Aussie man and I also find her to be a role model haha!
It is nice that she pushes herself to feel better. But...people who DO suffer from Anxiety and Depression cannot do that most of the time. That's why it's diagnosed as a disease- makes it difficult to get out of bed and function.

same I love it because of the honesty
Yes!!!❤️ I love how niomi is flourishing and growing and becoming more open with us🙌👸🏼
I finished my thesis in January, which was a year of research - basically making a book! I felt like this after I finished too. It's completely normal.

Me too, I feel like I get waves everyday of really bad depression. Going to the doctors to see if it's anything serious. Have a nice day 💗
Thank you, you too. Hope everything's going to go well for you.💖
Same here wow incredible, I love you Niomi
Jim is really such a lovely person. He has always been there for her after she got a bit disconnected from the rest of the group.
Niomi you are amazing and hope you feel much better:)
Your voice is sooo soothing!! who else agrees??
That is true it is sooooo nice to hear :)
Yeah I totally agree 😊
Exactly! I would listen to her podcast all the time.

+maryum salam yep thats me :) thank you :))
Omg, my thoughts exactly. Damn you for having a bad day. JK lol :)
+Lynn Melina you're blessed :D welcome
Even on a bad day, you still seemed quite optimistic. Nothing is as perfect as it seems on social media, and that's an important message to spread around. Thank you for opening up, Niomi. x
This video has really cheered me up😊 I've been diagnosed with depression and I haven't been to school for a long time and it's my first day back tomorrow and I'm really scared😔 you telling us to our fears has really motivated me to get out of bed in the morning💯 love you niomi xx

Dear Naomi, so sweet of you to be this opened with your followers. But don't worry, you will soon feel better. Don't push yourself too much. Relax and enjoy life, you already achieved so much. It's okay to take a break for awhile... :) xxx
Niomi**
For a while I thought that you were just way too perfect and lucky to be true, Niomi. Honestly, I am so so grateful that you uploaded this video because for a while it was depressing for me to watch others' vlogs where they'd be spending time with friends, going on crazy amazing adventures and just having the best time of their lives. This actually brings so much positivity--we can be truly honest with each other and resonate with one another! Love you so so much! xx
Hey Niomi thanks so much for mentioning us!! We're going to London on Wednesday if you'd like us to bring you over a book! :D
this video had a great message Niomi, loved it :)
great video!
Hi Luke , I love your videos xx
Yeah how to turn a bad day into a good day :)
Hey and i do have a video on this topic on my channel! maybe that can help people to get off a bad day! :)
I've been battling depression for a while now and your video helped me today, Niomi.
niomi ily so much you're such an inspiration to me
I think it's good you letting us see the bad days as well, It makes you more relatable. I don't know the reason for you feeling a bit down but my best advice is to talk about it.

Don't forget you did the marathon too which was a lot of training. You're coming down from having a lot on and that can make you feel aimless
I love seeing you like this, not at all because you're sad and have been having a rough few days, but because it makes you human.

Yours sounds a bit more than just having a bad day! Hope you're ok.
I am! Don't worry. It's the beginning of Moby Dick. I like to qoute it when you feel like you Need a break, a vacation or just a couple of days of.
+hrjw oh what a wonderful piece of writing. I'd never read that before.
The fact that you maintain your kind and gentle spirit even on difficult days makes you even more beautiful in our eyes. ❤️ And the thought of you sitting in your room with your mother and stepfather talking it through is so lovely. Thank you for sharing so much of yourself.
Who else absolutely LOVES Niomi's videos? :D
🙋🏼
Cally Hall yes!!
Erika Moulton yes!
absolutely! 🙋
I had a bad week too! D of E in the pouring rain, never appreciated my home more. I never cry and I got so homesick when I thought no one was around I broke down and mouthed, I want my mummy. Now that it's over I feel so relieved and proud. These hard moments are good for us because they show us our strength. God be with you Niomi
Niomi's lifestyle is so pure and healthy and clean
honestly, Niomi being so honest and real in this video made it so special because not every youtuber does that. hope she's in a better state of mind now. xx

Niomi and Jim are some of my favorite people in the world! They inspire me to be the best version of me
This is so refreshing! Because mostly you only see a one sided part of your lives, especially when I'm having a bad day aswell... Shows that it is okay not to be okay xx
I loved this video, Niomi. I can absolutely relate, I'm feeling down myself lately. Stay strong, these days will pass and you'll be happy again xxx
This video has just been amazing! Whenever I just need cheering up my mum and I drive to the supermarket and get a tub of ice and just chat, it's the best way to relax and just be able to know that everything will be fine. Every girl needs their mum xxx
Don't stress Niomi, we can wait😊 Love you❤️
You are absolutely one of the most beautiful people inside and out. It's okay to have bad days! Without sadness, we wouldn't truly understand happiness. We wouldn't appreciate the good days for what they are without the bad ones. Thanks for sharing.
this was actually so refreshing to watch, i'm glad you feel comfortable enough to share some of your true feelings :)
I don't think I've ever seen you sad. You're always so positive! These kind of videos just show you, TH-camrs don't have perfect lives. They have bad days. They're not perfect. Love you Niomi ❤️
I'm diagnosed with severe depression and anxiety, and I'm currently taking the highest type of medicine, one is for the voices in my head, that are constantly there, telling me to kill myself and that I'm worthless, etc. I get constant attacks.The other is a strong type of antidepressant (high dose of fluoxetine). I have been off school for 6 months, my concentration is barely there, I can't read or invest in any conversations, and I can barely go outside without having a panic attack (that's from the social anxiety). It's my birthday tomorrow and I really hope I have an okay day. This video has helped. Love you niomi xx
You're not worthless at all and if you fight the effort will pay off, remember that :) Good luck and an early Happy Birthday
awwwww Happy Birthday for tomorrow hope it's a happy day and I hope you get better soon (I know it can't go away forever but at least it can get better)
+Bárbara Oliveira Thank you so much, you're so sweet!! Xxx
+HannahKawaii aw thank you so much, that's really kind❤️❤️
+Georgie Stefan happy birthday and I hope you had a wonderful day
Yes. Sometimes you just need your Mom. No matter how old you are. So true. My Mom passed away 2 years ago and I really really miss her. You are so beautiful and inspiring. I love your videos. This one was beautiful!
Niomi you Are gorgeous ! Dont let the old things or new beginnings bring you down. Life has some good plans for you and everything is going to be how It has to be in the end.
I cried my eyes out seeing this video because I could instantly feel the pain you try to cover with work. Take a break, talk about all the pain with the people who love you. You have some amazing Friends ! It's so okay to feel down, it's not a sign of weakness.
Always remember that everything Happens for a reason and the end of one thing means the beginning of a better thing
i have screenshoted your coment, it was really nice and it applied to my life at the moment as well. :)
Love from Slovenia :D
I completely understand how you feel Niomi. Just be positive that it's just a bad day/feeling and it will go away somehow. Love you, you are such a charismatic person.
You're literally so sweet niomi, I love you so much xxx
i think that it's so important to share both good and bad if you are a vlogger. Within your comfortzone of course. We don't need any more perfection. we need realness and authenticity! ☺️
*WHO ELSE IS SO EXCITED TO SEE THE BOOK COVER?! ♥♥*
Love it when Niomi uploads vlogs
Can relate to this. Had a rough time the last 3-4 months and sometimes you can't pretend you're ok. It's ok not to be ok. Sending you so much love. Your videos make me feel so calm relaxed and happy! Xx
I think it's important if you are feeling down to listen to your feelings. Really great video!
This video legit made me cry. I love how lovely Jim was to cheer up Niomi and I love how she can open up about her feelings. I hope you're feeling better Niomi xxx
I believe that we become stronger and better people when we overcome our bad days. Chin up lovelie. xx
Just wanted to acknowledge how amazing you are Niomi!! I love how you have such a positive attitude but also show us how it's totally normal to have a bad day. I honestly don't know how your able to do all of the amazing things you do like running an amazing channel and blog, writing an entire book, and probably a whole lot of others things off camera. Just wanted to let you know that you are appreciated and loved :)
Also I'm so excited for your book!!! ❤️❤️❤️
love your honesty you are such a beautiful soul...
I hope you're feeling happier soon Niomi. I think it's really good that you're showing that TH-camrs are real people, who aren't happy all the time. I love you💕
I read:
"It's ok to have a baby"
+Molly Lynch haha well that too!
+Niomi Smart haha, that you for replying. I love your videos.💕😍
+Niomi Smart I love your vidioes! ilysm😍
Lol
SAME OMG
How i wish to be like you to have a good friend like Jim and a Mum you can go home to. You're so blessed and loved, Niomi. Hope you feel better soon.
I think now she's not as busy so she's thinking about the breakup and I feel so bad for her
You are such a beautiful soul Niomi. You shouldn't apologise for having a down day. You're human & we all have them. Even when you said you were down I found you lovely to watch. I hope things are looking much brighter. You should totally come to Australia for a holiday so us Aussies can meet you! xx
She sounded like she was on the brink of tears
I respect you so much for being so wonderfully open about the reality of being on TH-cam and also being a normal person who struggles with ups and downs. You were still just as wonderful to watch! I hope you feel better super soon xxx
Awwww! Id love to have a friend like Jim 🍭 he's so lovely all the time xx
I had an absolutely happy weekend with my dad to be honest. My parents are separated since I am 2 years old so I don't know how it is to have parents living together. But what I know is that many situations are so difficult even though my parents are still "friends".
Even though it isn't easy. You always have to decide between them.
The weekend was so great but this evening my mum wasn't happy with one of my decisions between her and my dad and so the great weekend ended up with such an miserable and horrible evening.
To see now this video feels so good.
I love you! ❤️❤️
you are a lovely person Niomi! its ok we all have down day! so yeah! to anyone who is reading this hope you are having a lovely day!
and don't be sorry ! its okay! we know you you are all tensed and stuff but you know! love you!!
Your happiness and overall mental health is far more important than us waiting to see the cover of your new book! No need to be sorry. Take care of yourself niomi xx
Who else thinks that Niomi would look even more AMAZING with a messy bob hair cut? :p
ME! I was literally just thinking that :)
Yessss she so should!!!!!
It would mature her in a good way.
Yeah I can see her cutting her hair when she moves to Australia or LA. It would be a fun change for a new start.
noooooo her long hair is gorgeous and it perfect for her. She looks like a Disney princess
Niomi I'm so happy that you said that you want to escape when you're feeling down because I've always felt like nobody felt that way except for me. It's sooo good that you openly talk about this. Thanks for making me not feel alone, big hug from Holland
Niomis treat: strawberry & banana smoothie
My treat: mcdonalds milkshake and chips
i feel exactly like you whe i have bad days, school and people just get too much for me and i want to escape somewhere like to watch your videos and see that you are genuinly the same as normal people is just so comforting. this has really helped me think that family is all you need to be happy xx💗
absolutely love the happy pear
you should definitely cook something together :D
you're honestly just the warmest, sweetest person. You can really see that. Hope you feel better :)
Sorry to interrupt your scrolling but I just wanted you to know that you're beautiful and don't let anyone bring you down.
You are such a beautiful soul Niomi. You shouldn't apologise for having a down day. You're human & we all have them. Even when you said you were down I found you lovely to watch. I hope things are looking much brighter xx
so funny how she mentioned the strawberry leaves cause I was like WHOAH THERE when I first saw it
While watching this I had actually had quite a bad day myself and I think it's so inspiring to see how you deal with your bad day(s). You seem to still manage to stay positive in a lot of ways and I really admire you for that ❤
The song sounds just like 'salvation' by Gabrielle Aplin, I think you'd like it!!
I just finished a massive project too and have been having a difficult few days where I've been a little withdrawn. Thank you for inspiring me to reach out and do things for myself, I needed this video and I'm so grateful you have shared. I hope you feel better soon Niomi you are truly one of a kind x
wow that's so awesome and unusual, to have a male platonic friend who makes time for you to make you feel better. I wish I had a friend like that.
I appreciate how honest you were in this video, especially in the beginning. It's nice to get that reminder that you guys on social media are real people and you have different emotions beside happy and cheerful. And it's also nice to be reminded that sometimes you just need a few little things that you love to help brighten a bad day. I hope these weeks to come are better for you and you feel back up to your usual self in your next video.
I feel like you are my long lost British sister Niomi! Smart Sisters!
Sorry you're going through a rough patch Niomi, you bring a lot of happiness and inspiration into my life! You're so strong. Hang in there
Who else started singing Bad Day by Daniel Powter?
Just me?? :(
i did :D
That was the first thing that came to my mind at the beginning of the video.
Jaceyy x Yay!!
filinchen89 haha xD
AHAH ME
Niomi is so gorgeous ! Every single time I see her videos she lights my day with her smile !!
I wish I was half as lovely and lady-like as you. Instead I'm a crude dork.
Nothing has ever so accurately described my life haha
Other people might wish to have your personality! Enjoy yourself
+MegaUnfunny very true
honestly, same XD
everyone is perfect in every way and there is nobody who is not perfect
Yesterday I moved 200 miles away from my parents and my fiancee. The start of today was horrendous and I was extremely close to getting on a train, returning home and running away from my problems. This afternoon I have somehow started to turn things around and am starting to feel okay(ish!) - I'm determined to be positive and have a good day tomorrow, put today behind me and move on. I'm going home on Friday for a family event so I have that to look forward to and am going to try and have a good week. Thanks for the video Niomi, it couldn't have come at a better time for me.
I live near the happy pear!!!
Their cafe is in greystones, which is very near to Dublin
It is in County Wicklow, the Garden of Ireland!
Niomi always makes me happy. She always makes me feel better and she is such an inspiration. LOVE YOU!
I need a little apartment like yours :-) ! the light is perfect
thank you so much for this video. there was no self-pity, no drama. just you having a bad day...but trying to make everything better
I don't know if you ever going to read this but if can give you one advice it would be to stop saying "I'm sorry". You don't have anything to apologies for! Just do you!
this honestly made me feel so much better about having bad days because sometimes you can forget that everyone does have them no matter how big they are in the world!! xxx
You had a bad day, you're taking one down, you sing a sad song just to turn it around
Thank you for showing us more of you, Niomi :) Today wasn't my bestest day either and watching this has provided me a lot of comfort.
" it is okay to have a bad life " is me, not bad day lol
Please don't ever apologise for experiencing human emotions - how can you be fully happy when you don't know what it's like to have a bad day?! You are a brilliant and inspiring woman and i hope that you are feeling better soon
