YOUR energy is so refreshing. You’re not pretentious and so relatable and that’s why I keep coming back. Because your channel, your aura and your vibe feels like home.
Thank you 😊
Oh my God exactly.. She just got herself a new subbie, much love from South Africa. 😍😍
I love seeing a beautiful black woman prioritizing her health and home. You are also good to your emotional well being. More of this.
❤️❤️❤️
Please don’t allow the negative comments to annoy you, some people are so negative. I enjoy all your vlogs, your time, and your energy you spend creating your videos. The soup looked delicious.
Brie Lax 44 right !! How can one hate on this channel fr. 😒
Mama Kae
Unfortunately we share a world with some miserable people.
Octavia is so peaceful and non-problematic, they’re basically creating issues.
Brie Lax 44 I totally agree with you hun. It’s sickening. 😞 Ppl like us need to continue to uplift our sisters and brothers. Positivity is the best weapon 🙏🏾
Thanks ladies ! ❤️
Octavia B 🥰
“I kinda want to treat myself forever” that made me smile.
Lol 😂
*SELF CARE* 🌹
*SELF LOVE* 💕
*"IS PRICELESS"* 💎
Sometimes we do things just as therapy for ourselves, but don’t realize we’re actually being therapeutic to others. ... keep being yourself girl love how real you are, and loving your videos🙂
Well said ❤️
The accuracy of this comment!!! 😘
I'm not a native English speaker so I hope what I am about to write is in correct grammar 😅... So... You are caring yourself very well, just checked your Insta and was delighted about your pics. Beautiful girl and well dressed (without exposing your body for likes or follows). Keep being an inspiration for all the (dark skinned) black girls in this crazy world! Much ♥️ from Germany.
The best part of your channel is how genuine and honest you are!!!! And I know you think your vlogs are boring, but you could legit be watching paint dry and I would still be entertained lol
I’m so happy to hear this as I definitely think it’s boring !
Far from it mumma. It is ridiculously soothing.
I only recently discovered your channel and I’m so glad I did. I too was in a bad place for a while. You inspired me to put effort into putting myself together clothes and makeup wise. Also, taking care of myself and pampering myself. When you feel ready and comfortable to do so, it would be great if you could share your story. Keep up the great work, it’s much appreciated💕.
Thank you ❤️
I love how your accent goes in and out 😂😂 it’s so hilarious!
NKY D 😂me too, sometimes I have to double back bc I think I’m tripping on something
NKY D I’m Caribbean American, from Brooklyn, living in Texas, and I talk like everywhere
I know its really cute
NKY D hahah yeah! Like she said ‘I’m going to cut the Ed off’ so cute
Her Glory Inc. ha! Caribbean American from NJ living in Texas, same! Ppl are always asking where I’m from because of the different accents 🇯🇲
I lost my job last week and did not have the heart to leave my room until I watched this blog post. You have such a great spirit and seeing you live life gave me the hope that everything will be ok.
Hope you feel better hun
Your personality is captivating and inspirational. I only come on TH-cam to look up “how to video’s” for anything that I am doing. I never watched vlogs or even subscribe to channels but the moment I saw your better lengths clip in videos, I was so hooked, I went back and watched every single video you put up. Don’t change anything, they are plenty eventful. This is so damn refreshing.
Thank you so much ❤️
I looooove your hair it looks so chic it’s like 60s but modern
Thank you 😊
I work at Target. Those tshirts sell very quickly in store, that's why most ppl order online. There's a brand called universal thread. They have some cream/beige pullover crewneck sweaters that are only $20. They look like your style
I’ll check them out ❤️
I love how you actually read and respond to comments. So many TH-camrs say leave me a comment, yet they never read and/or respond. You responding to comments shows you appreciate your subscribers. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Yes ! I use to always leave comments on youtubers pages and hated that they never respond so I would never do that ! I try my hardest to get to everyone for sure ❤️
@MzBombshell06. Isnt that annoying! I get it, when you have so many subbies, its hard to answer everyone's question. And sometimes the questions they are asking has been stated in the video or is listed in the description box. But there are some TH-camrs who NEVER respond to any questions or comments. But they want you to like, comment, and going through their links to purchase products. SMH...
I’m natural but boy do I miss the sleekness and quickness of a relaxer. Love your hair!
Michelle N Same! She can just unwrap it and go! 😭
I love it ! But natural hair is beautiful ❤️
I swear all Carribean women are hard working, clean and can cook.
sovereign blackwoman big it up!
Facts ❤️
sovereign blackwoman black women periodt natural in dem blood 🥰🥰🥰🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧
Not all
🥳
I’d love to see you do a whole video in a full Jamaican accent/speaking Patois 😍 also maybe a video on where you grew up and stuff like that
Your channel is definitely therapy for me🙌🏾. I’m inspired to cook more, buy things that I will actually use more than once. Revamp my closet and get rid of a lot of things that I don’t use and make my bed everyday. The hope is real🙌🏾🤗😘
❤️❤️ I’m so happy to hear
I’m not going tru a tough time or anything, but your videos definitely motivate me (and others). Like when I see your vlogs it makes me wanna do the same stuff you do, like going outside, self care, cooking, trying on new things. I have been watching you since you had 4k subscribers (i was searching for hair care for relaxed hair) . I’m so happy to see you grow your channel and bringing good content to us. You’re one of my favourite TH-camrs. Keep up the content and don’t let anything bring you down! :)
Watching from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 💕
Awww thank you so much 😊
I’m so happy I found your channel way back. I have depression and being a mother (26) doing it all and before that always helping others , but no help in return on top of being the bigger person (thanks to my aunt) I get tired to where I just don’t want to deal with ppl nor social media. Don’t get me wrong I’m a ppl person and like to venture out! But my depression gets to me and sometimes holds me back. I literally cut friends who wasn’t invested in me like I was for them for years and family. You have to realize it’s YOUR journey so I’m making the most out of it because I know my purpose in life and what I have. No more getting used, in living 🥰
❤️❤️❤️
You have the ability to connect with others. Continue creating content. You're making a difference with your personality and style.
You were so hype for the Jamaican groceries. Lol me too! And I'm not even there! I know how it feels to finally have the food you grow up on after not having it for a while 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Yeah right !!! I was excited
Love your hair! Girl please keep the weekly vlogs coming! I know this may sound crazy but watching ur vlogs calm me down and relax me lol ! And just make me want to enjoy life more and ur so relatable! 😍💕 peace and blessing!
Awww thanks ! I will
It's crazy how you have motivated so many of us to want to care of ourselves and implement organisation and structure into our everyday lives, just by being yourself. Not by claiming to be a lifestyle/femininity coach or trying to sell people idealogies you don't adhere to, or by pretending to be flawless (like how you showed us the mess in your room lol), but just by being you and nothing else. That is really incredible. I started watching you in October and you were literally one of the coolest finds on here. And I'm very picky. Lastly, the cooking/food segments are a great niche.
❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much .
I get you with preferring watching shows on my phone over the tv. For some reason, Netflix seems more personal like this lol.
A word! A fact!🤣
“Did you want me to bring the food upstairs in my hand!” 😂😂. I laughed so hard. Forget them, sis. Can you show us how you do a clip-in? I’m learning so much from you! You’re my fav.
Haha , it’s coming soon
We adore you Octavia!! Your heart is so big and that's why your thriving! That message at the end really touched me and I'm sure many others to keep going, nothing is too big or too difficult for God :)
Thank you Kristina ❤️
Jamaican🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲 finally another JA TH-camr. My Country yaaay!!!
🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
I hear that accent coming out when you talking about something that irritate you lol get them together
lol 😂
I was thinking the same thing like there's the West Indian coming out lol
You really inspire me to be independent. I still gotta finish school though. But i really love how you potray your life as a working beautiful Human
Yes! Once you finish , definetly get to the grind . I never finished college due to circumstances but I never allowed to hold me back
I am loving the haircut, Octavia! You’re looking as beautiful as ever 💕.
❤️❤️❤️
I hope you never quit your vlogs, they have inspired me so much! Thank you for your dedication. 🙏
Yes, your videos are calming. Your life appears to be simple and relatable. You’re not always dressed up going into the city to meet the girls for brunch, buying designer this and that. It doesn’t involve a lot of make up and fuss. I feel like we need to keep you hidden because the more subscribers, the more comments which will bring you more exposure and potential hateful comments. It’s refreshing to watch how simple your life is. Oh I forgot to say that I’m relaxed too 😊. I have been for a very long time. I can’t stand to get my hair blown dry because I’m so tender headed. No way could I ever go natural.
Thanks for sharing a bit of your life with us.
Okayyyy Halle Berry. You have the perfect face for shorter hair. Would like to see a room/apt tour
Will have one up soon
Lol you going off about the plastic bags is a MOOD Lmaoo I love it because your so calm but then out of NOWHERE you telling the people about them selves 🤣🤣 we would get along so well
Yes I try to control tho lol
Lol yea girl I totally watch my phone. I never turn on my TV. I can even stream TH-cam and Netflix on my tv but for some reason I still watch my phone lol your not the only one.
❤️
I just found your page. And I have been binge watching. So relaxing to watch. You’re beautiful with or without make up. Keep grinding.
Thank you ❤️❤️
Octavia B you’re welcome
Im obsessed with your makeup looks. I know they're simple but that's my favorite type of look. Please do more makeup tutorials.
I will :) ❤️
Yes!! 😃❤️
Octavia looks like a 70's spy/ cute cartoon. Loving the hair💕
haha thank you :)
I feel like we’re girlfriends! You looked beautiful on your date night! You gave me an event idea, I think I want to go to a Broadway show now. This year I’m trying new things & stepping outside of my comfort zone.
Definitely! ❤️
You're killing it Oct. Love the vlogs. Definitly gonna try the fish soup.
❤️❤️❤️
I love these weekly vlogs, I've also been inspired to take better care of myself and not just the people around me. You're awesome!
❤️❤️❤️
Your haircut is so cute! I love it 🥰
Thank you jasmine ❤️
Octavia B hi what do you have fish soup with as in if it was dinner. And a healthy sub for traditional dumplings?
Octavia! Thank you so much for your authenticity. You carry yourself well and your femininity is off the charts. Keep inspiring others ❤️❤️.

I’m obsessed with your channel!!! 💜❤️
Thank you for watching
Yes Octavia we love your content & you’re definitely inspirational! I hope I can touch people the way your videos touch us once I start my TH-cam journey ❤️
Awww thank you ❤️
I am obsessed with your eyebrows. I can't tell if they are naturally that thick and dark. Do you do anything to them to help them grow? Are you using a new eyebrow pencil? Please do an updated tutorial. I love how they frame your face. Yes, I am one of your subbies who gets really motivated by your videos. I get a big smile on my face when I see you posted a new video. They are NEVER boring. I just like seeing you go about your day, taking care of your mental/physical health and hanging out with your friends and family.
Yes I’ll do a video soon ❤️
When I heard that Jamaican patois I was like yassss ! Love it !
Hahhaha thank you :)
Girl I freaking love your videos, your voice is so soothing..
Aww thanks ❤️
I love your videos, you’re such a classy lady! This inspires me to put so much more effort into my daily routines and self care.... I also love how honest and original you are ❤️❤️❤️
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Honey!! Your videos have been giving me all sorts of life!!!
❤️❤️❤️ thank you
Octavia B Of course! I’ve been in a major slump, just exhausted. You’re really motivate me to take time for myself and just keep things simple.
You seem like a very genuine person.Keep being you and God is going to bless you in many ways...
Thank you ❤️
As a Jamaican, I am so proud of you.
Keep up the good work.
I really love your vlogs....
Awww thanks Shelly
Best videos on TH-cam. We need this content. Thank you!
Aww thanks girl ❤️
From a skincare addict your skin has improved so much as far as dark spots go! Sunscreen really helps combat hyperpigmentation! Aaaand that soup and omelette looked so good!
Thank you ! It’s getting there I’m trying haha !!
I never comment on videos but I'm 19 away at school from my family and friends and honestly life is just hard sometimes. But can say TH-cam can very much be a blessing because I watch your videos every week when I come from class and just seeing the thumbnails of your videos make me feel better about my day. I watch your videos while doing homework, cleaning, or getting ready in the mornings. I love your videos because it also just makes me feel close to home me also coming from a household with a Jamaican and Grenadian culture lol, the fish soup does it for me and accent, at this point you're my sister lol. But thank you so much because it is hard sometimes your videos keep me motivated and give inspiration to be better and that things will get better. THANK YOU SO MUCH !!
Thank you for your comment Kayla it really means a lot and I’m happy that my videos do you help you! And I definitely get what you mean with like the Jamaican food and stuff it’s a nostalgic thing for me as well because I miss my family very much and I miss that part of my life and just making the food and eating it just brings me to that place. ❤️
Why have I just found you? I’ve just been binge watching you for like the last 7+ hours, you’re addictive.. I love your spirit, great role model for these young girls growing up...and gorgeous too. Love your content..😍👍🏾
Thank you so much ! And welcome ❤️
You are my motivation to get up and get my day just going...love love love your vlogs
❤️❤️❤️
I love how real and relatable you are ... I also prefer watching things from my phone rather than tv, it’s more comfortable...
The fish soup reminds me of my grandparents. They LOVE to make that! 😄
Rachel Hall Lol me and my grandma used to eat soup everyday
Have you done a pin curl tutorial? If not, I’d love to see one from you. The style is really cute
I’ll film one soon ! Just trying to perfect it
Loved this! I am ALWAYS inspired by your videos. They're so peaceful and calming. keep going!!
Thank you for watching ❤️
Keep posting.. your videos are such a good vibe!
Thank you 😊
I appreciate you for stepping out of your comfort zone and making these videos. I’m a very private person as well and I couldn’t imagine making vlogs because it would be totally out of my comfort zone, so I really appreciate you for allowing us into your personal space! Keep em coming!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Lol 😂😂
Thank you ❤️
Your minimalistic style is my aesthetic.
See.... I need to be cooking like you but instead I’m about to head to Olive Garden for soup and salad 😔 lol at least it’s healthy!! 😂
lol 😂
Hey girl, just started watching your videos and love them! ♥️
In Belize (also the Caribbean ) we call those peppers Habanero peppers. I eat it with every single dish. So good
Yes Chef, that soup looks bomb 👩🏾🍳🍲👌🏾
Thank you ❤️
" I just feel like treating myself ...... FOREVER " 😂😂😂 Issa whole vibe ✌😂
I've battling within myself if I should start a TH-cam channel for a while now. This has given me push I needed to go on that journey. Keep doing what your doing. You're motivating so many out there.
No time like the present ❤️
Since watching videos on your channel and following you on IG, you have had the same impact on me as well: work hard, hustle and take care of YOU! You are definitely such an inspiration because you do this all by yourself, your 9-5, TH-cam and babysitting. Keep at it girl!
Thank you :)
I LOVED this video. It's my first time in a long time watching a vlog and not clicking through it. For the pre-poo there are several different types, but for moisture I find the ones with honey are the best. Aloe vera gel and honey are supposed to be really good. Just make sure to strain it through with cheesecloth or a strainer so you don't get stringy stuff in your hair. I used to my own conditioner with honey, jamaican black castor oil and avocado oil instead since i found coconut oil can be drying. Hope that helps!
I love u Octavia u re so real, jovial, educative hardworking n independent that's d power I love, we shouldn't give men all d credit
Once again your video never fails. Keep it up and I’m glad to see you touch someone. Sometimes you do thing in life not knowing you can help someone. So congratulations to you!
❤️❤️
Now I’m craving some chicken (foot & back soup)!!!! My family is from Jamaica so I can relate to the cravings. Love your channel so happy you popped up on my feed! ❤️❤️❤️
❤️❤️❤️
Lmfao did you want Octavia to bring the food in her hands?! Cho
Hi there! Loving your channel so far. Keep doing what you're doing!
Giiirrrlll that spicy mackerel is the real deal! You're a real one!
❤️❤️🇯🇲
I really like watching your videos 😍💜. Just nice & calm
So I made soup last week and I wanted pimento seeds so I called my mom. I was about to buy the black peppers like you showed and my mom told me that those aren’t pimentos. I end up going to the supermarket and I saw that they had pimento seeds labeled all purpose them they had black pepper seeds. First I ever knew the difference. Thank God for Jamaican moms. Although tbh I don’t even think there’s a big difference lol
Omggg @ 26:25 when the accent came out😩😍💜.
Yes mine has the real ones in it ( just using the peppercorn container - I like them to grind into black pepper ) that my granny gave me - I forgot to mention in the video
But yes ! She’s right - it makes a difference on the flavor for sure
Can you do a video on how you grew your channel? I remember starting to watch you a few months ago and you were just at 17k and you’re nearing 50k! It’s really inspiring 💚💚
That soup looks REALLY good! Love your accent! 🤗
❤️❤️❤️ thank you
14:15 😭😭😭 y’all betta leave my girl alone about those plastic bags 😂😂
“I just want to treat myself...forever “. Girl, same here lol
Lol yasss periodt
Thank you for the thought of hope. We appreciate you.
❤️❤️❤️
I love ur videos! Ur so honest n down to earth!
❤️thank you
I started watching you for your pin curls videos lol. I ended up subscribing and tuning in weekly. It’s something so genuine about you, that makes me always watch. Thank you for the videos.
