I loved hearing you talk about the books that motivate you, especially to think about finances. I worked for so long at a firm and felt so torn between my culture that tells me to be humble, not discuss money and just work my tush off and someone will pay me...while working among all these people from different cultures who ask for what they want and get it. I realized that ultimately I was giving up my power, and that’s not right. Women and POC and 1st generation US kids (and so many others!) need the financial language to become second nature so that we can truly make our voices heard. Thanks for being brave, but still keeping it you🙏💙
I agree I think people in general should talk more about personal finance. Congratulations on the upload streak AND the sponsorships. You often introduce us to brands we might never find on our own. Small businesses, minority or women owned etc. You have a very thoughtful approach that we appreciate. I think that people underestimate what it costs (in America) financially to take of: yourself vs you and a pet vs a couple vs a couple with a pet not to mention adding in a parent, grandparent or extended family into who you support. Can't wait to see the next video. Stay safe.
I have enjoyed all of your videos for many many years now. I think there is a genuine intention and excitement that comes from your content and that is what I come back to over and over again. Thanks Christine 😊
Can you do a video on living in LA? I would love to hear from someone like you about your experience there; neighbourhoods, the culture, what you like and don’t, how you stay sane. Just an idea!
I discovered MAKE Beauty through your channel and it’s become one of my favorite brands, so I’m excited for their re-launch. I love the original universal stick but I would love to try Maddie’s collaboration color if it becomes available again. I also love Cook’s Illustrated magazine. It’s pretty much the only magazine I read because every other page isn’t an advertisement and I learn so much from other people who are just as passionate about food as I am and it’s really inspiring! I especially enjoy the issue about making homemade hummus. Their approach is so straightforward but fun. I love it! Thank you for the book recommendation. I definitely have so much to learn money-wise. And as far as sponsored content goes, I think the most important thing is disclosing that it’s an Ad, which I’ve found you always do and I think that says a lot about you as a person. I don’t know you but I find you to be very genuine and kind person, which I think is rare these days. In both influencers and just regular people. So thank you Christine, for being you and inspiring me and so many others, especially these days when inspiration and motivation can be hard to come by. Be well. :-)
Just recently started watching That Curly Top & her channel & personality always give off an uplifting spirit to the day! ❤️ Not sure if they are anyone else’s vibe but I enjoy Joanna Spicer, Sarah Novio, Shahd Batal, & Tar Mar on youtube.
One of the many things that surprised me moving here in the states is that people are more comfortable talking about sex than they do finance and politics.
i love jasmine's youtube channel too!! she is so sweet and makes me smile :) I honestly loved that book! Thank you for sharing your experience with money. I've been feeling in a scarcity mindset lately so I'm inspired to re-read it now!
a little shocked that people got mad that this was an ‘ad’.... like you dont have to buy whats presented to you??? i’m confused... but get that bag christine 💜
You gotta do what you gotta do. I think sponsorships get a bad rap because of how a lot of influencers feel like walking ads with their sponsorship and I think your intention and actions shine through.
Hi! I saw your outfit videos and I want to ask you if you prefer use shoes with socks or without socks. I have a pari of vans slip on but I hate no show socks. Should I wear them sockless?
Another great book about money is Your money or your life by Vicki Robin. It talks about your relationship with money and how to achieve financial independence. I found it very insightful. Also, love your general favorites videos and the energy!
I love your channel. Surprisingly, I have been following @gemary and @thatcurlytop since so long. They are so good. Lots of love from India. Haha. The sad thing is that majorly the stuff and experiences you can not recommend wouldn’t be available here but man the vibe is so good. We have our versions of things and that’s beautiful too. Hopefully, there would be more things with could be shared and enjoyed.
You mentioned sunscreen under your foundation, is there one you love right now or in the past that you’d recommend? I’m trying to use just mineral sunscreen for the environment but haven’t found one I’m super into yet.
always look forward to your videos! I just want to say that I had to stop watching Gemary videos. I was so excited to find a Latina in Miami on TH-cam but unfortunately, she has not been responsible with COVID and has posted about parties. Miami and Florida has been and still is a hot spot. To see someone choose temporary happiness over empathy for their own community isn't for me. And this isn't to generate hate but I think recognizing and being responsible is something we all have to face, and when she received kind but critical comments (accountability is important) she deleted comments or wrote something half hearted regarding this. I think she may have deleted her xmas party video, but it was up for quite some time.
I was watching Bret Weinstein and he said something about sun protection behavior that blew my mind. He says that he doesn't use any sunscreen usually but instead stays in the sun 15-20 minutes to soak up for Vitamin D protection, etc, and is just self aware of when his skin is about to feel hot, and then he seeks shade to cool down, and then rinse and repeat.
Love those watches! You mention its sitewide but it doesnt appear to be working for me for items on sale. Do you know if it's supposed to be for sale items too?
Hi Christine! Would u please make a video all about your DJ career? I have always wondered about how much people can make and if it is a stable job financially . Also I am really curious if u have done any virtual dj performances during quarantine or social media related stuff has been the only income source for u during this time . Sorry I am asking about the financial set of the thing but I personally really would want to consider learning about dj and maybe choose is as my career path as well so I genuinely wanna know. By the way I also wanted to know if you see yourself doing it in the future when you get older. If u don’t feel comfortable talking about these you can always talk about other aspects of dj you like ! Maybe you could tell us why you like your job! Thank you so much in advance!
I'm not a professional DJ in that sense; it's definitely not a career path for me -- it's mostly a hobby that sustains itself cause I get paid on occasion. As for income sources, I don't just do social media for living. I have like 5 different jobs and am always rotating projects. When one isn't lucrative, I move onto something else. Hope that makes sense!
lol christine i hate your favorite videos bc i always want to buy everything you show 😩btw i bought one of your cowboy boot match strikers and it makes me smile every time i use it :~)
Alexa Blake is a problematic conservative. Edited to add: I hope you continue do sponsorships if that’s something you’d like to do. The only time I dislike them is when people push things that they have zero interest in themselves, have problematic business practices, or are of sub par quality.
I was going to chime in on this, too. There’s part of me that doesn’t care what your politics are but the past four years has shown that it DOES matter. I want my support to go towards people who are doing good in the world.
Christine, check out Canna Campbell @Sugarmammatv. She started the 1000 dollars project and she invests and support young girls. Also the financial diet. Thanks for sharing!
Alexa Blake posted a video on November 6th, 2020 where she expressed being afraid that she'd be "cancelled" for her true socio-political beliefs. The whole theme of the video was sort of victimizing Trumpists and bigots and it was icky, to say the least. I watched her for years and it was disappointing. She has since decided to unlist this video, I suspect because it lost her a lot of subscribers. I just think it's fair for people to know this before they recommend/support her ventures since she decided to add it to her brand. If you feel this may bother you as well, I encourage you to go watch this video and judge for yourself. It's called "a very candid grwm - politics, quitting youtube, why I don't like social media | alexa blake" and though it's unlisted, there's a reddit post about it titled "Alexa Blake hinting at voting Trump/being attacked for her views" and if you Google that it should come up. Ignorance is never actually bliss 🌈
Girl get your paper. It's unfortunate that money is such an emphasis around social media and compromises authenticity, but I genuinely don't feel that from you. Plus, the viewer has the option of, like, *not* buying the item if they don't want it, so it's all good.
How do you expect creators to make money to continue to create content...? Pay for bills, rent, etc ...? 😑🤨🙄 free products sure as hell ain’t gonna do it. Sooo if one of my fav creators gets sponsorships where they genuinely like the products and use them, I’m going to watch the video, like, comment, watch it again, so they can get their ends.
I think as long as you genuinely enjoy the products that you’re gifted, sponsored videos and posts are not a problem :)
Thank you 😊
I'm loving the frequent uploads! Feels like hanging out with a friend. ❤️
And the videos are also keeping me sane through what feels like Norways hundredth lock down.
Yes! I was just about to write this same comment.
@@lori6704 Hope you're doing well during this weird time!
That’s so sweet! Thank you 🙏🏼
Yesss Christine move that money!!!! Very smart.

I love when you share about other TH-camrs!!!
If you have any recs, let me know too!
I'm a proud fanny pack user now too. So handy for going on walks/runs with the pup! (: Thanks for sharing your favorites with us Christine!
Thanks for watching, Christine!
So cool you mentioned Gemary! I've been watching her for some time now, I love her personality too and her vlogs are always so refreshing
A great relaxing video as usual. You make me want to buy everything you talk about!
Taking on more sponsorships to reallocate funds to things you care about is such a power move. Whatta hottie, #1 girl crush of all time ugh! 😩
Your kindness & generousity is inspired 💕
I somehow ONLY discovered Jazmine/That Curly Top recently and am so, so, so happy that she's getting the recognition she deserves. :)
You are an inspiration for other youtubers - Your calm being is so soothing to the soul! Keep up the great work :)
Your sponsorships always come across as thoughtful & creative! Love that you’re redistributing the wealth!
Can you do a video on living in LA? I would love to hear from someone like you about your experience there; neighbourhoods, the culture, what you like and don’t, how you stay sane. Just an idea!

I think you would like Leah's Fieldnotes, she's a young artist and I just like the peaceful of her videos!
^^ RT
I love those watches! So dainty but still boxy, perfect.
So proud of your sponsorships! Love you’re attitude towards them as well ❤️ need that book about money ASAP! LOL!
I love Gemary too! She's really fun to watch and you both are some of my fave content creators on here ❤️
Love that you shared your thoughts around money as a influencer and that you donate to causes that matter to you!
so happy you're getting collabs, you truly deserve it. 💕
the trench coat watch selling clip LMFAO

I like the argument you had with yourself about the pronunciation of versatile. I can relate lol
we've all been there!
@@chrissstttiiine so true!
Gemary has been popping on my front page too! Excited to check out the others.
So excited to see MAKE is back! I love their bronzing bricks and their makeup remover was so good
Yes!! I haven’t tried their eye makeup remover but gelcream posted a short video of it mixing together and it was solid asmr - can’t wait to try it
always always LOVEEE your favorites videos. Thank you Christine for making these!!
Also do you girl ! The sponsorships is great !! You have always provided us with incredible videos
I love the b roll!
we love you and your videos, they are always so well done. do all the sponsorships you'd like! all my love and support!
Love both Gemary and Alexa👌
Yess, I love Gemary❤️!
Hey Chrissstttine can please review Gallinee cleanser and toner? Would love to hear what you think!
i love jasmine's youtube channel too!! she is so sweet and makes me smile :) I honestly loved that book! Thank you for sharing your experience with money. I've been feeling in a scarcity mindset lately so I'm inspired to re-read it now!
a little shocked that people got mad that this was an ‘ad’.... like you dont have to buy whats presented to you??? i’m confused...
but get that bag christine 💜
I completely agree that we need to talk more openly about money
Oh my goodness!!! Thank you so much for your kind words 🙏❤ I immediately subscribed to your channel and I am so glad we found each other!
Transparency about finances is so important :)
You gotta do what you gotta do. I think sponsorships get a bad rap because of how a lot of influencers feel like walking ads with their sponsorship and I think your intention and actions shine through.

Omg I literally just came from a Gemary video that you had commented on!! Love both your channels a lot !
i just watched 1 min of you talking and i decided to follow you. You have such an irresistible charm!
Thanks for sharing!🌹🌼🌻..

I just order a gold watch from BREDA♥🕐♥🕛Your recommendation is always good and something that I appreciate more😻 Thank you for giving your promo code😋
Every video you are doing is an ad. Not watched a full video of yours as I turn off at ads.
If you only watched to the end, you would understand my POV but of course, some people are quick to judge and that’s fine too.
