    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.

    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💕.

    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.

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.

    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 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. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

    • @OctaviaB
      @OctaviaB  4 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      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 ❤️

    • @maried5486
      @maried5486 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @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 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! :)

  • @jesusisapisces
    @jesusisapisces 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    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.

    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 🥰

    @21angali 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    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.

    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.

    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. ❤️

    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.

    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 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😩😍💜.

    • @OctaviaB
