You are, by far, the most transparent content creator I’ve come across. It’s extremely refreshing- you’re honesty and realness make you my fave, and I can totally appreciate your moral compass.. the fashion is an added bonus!
Christina, thank you so much for leaving such a sweet comment. I'm so happy the fashion is a bonus, because I feel like there is sooo much more to life and the content I want to share than just fashion. Thank you for watching- sending you my love!! xx
@@VivianeAudi life is short- I’ve learned that quickly through 2020. Celebrate it, absorb the moments and truly enjoy. All else will follow! Have a safe, happy and healthy holiday season my friend ✨
From what it sounds, you are having a lot of internal conflict regarding the ethics around being an influencer and consumerism. here are my suggestions:
-shift more towards promoting sustainable brands and small businesses. this way, viewers will be encouraged to spend money on brands that are actually doing the environment well while also supporting business owners' livelihoods. I think this will help to decrease the guilt of telling people to buy things because it will have more benefits.
-focus more on how you're helping your viewers by being honest about the imperfections of the job! give yourself more credit where credit is due.
-talk more about mental health awareness!
I keep commenting LOL but you’re not alone either with the patience and being at home at our age. It’s so so special but it’s hard and frustrating a lot of them time but that’s ok!
its so hard and so frustrating, but I also wouldn't trade it/ them for the world. need to pray for more patience though
you are the most normal, real, understandable content creator ive seen on social media and this post took a weight off my shoulders. as a consumer i feel constantly confused by the unattainability of most influencers, but you are a breath of fresh air and thank you for this!
tip for showing your family: maybe pick certain days of the week that you'll show them on your stories! that way it could even turn into like a family friday thing so that people know to expect it on certain day(s) and so that you can also set your boundary of when your family sweeps into your work life. and then that will also help you learn to be present/make memories on days when the camera is off :) love you viv. you've got this!
I am by no means a content creator, but I used to work full time in influencer marketing on the brand side and I completely understand where you're coming from. When your job is tied to social media, your career, online persona, and self worth all become very dependent on each other. I found it not sustainable and healthy for me personally, so I give you a lot of credit for being so vulnerable, and pushing through. Working in the industry I experienced first hand how the traveling, events, etc. look pretty on social media to friends, family and colleagues - everyone thinks you're "living your best life" but your reality could be very different behind the screen. Your feelings are very real and valid 💛
just in case nobody's said it to you recently, i'm proud of you, viv. i'm proud of you for having these realizations and awareness, and acknowledging that there are changes you want to make for *you*. it's okay that you don't have the answers right now, because you're currently taking steps in the right direction. i hope today you feel a bit more grounded and clear, and if you don't, tomorrow's a new day!
Your honesty/vulnerability is so refreshing from your viewers' perspective and I hope it's refreshing for you too, I'm sending such a big hug your way! Consumerism is tough as it is and I'm sure it's even harder for you given your career...since you talked about how getting the perspectives of others is helpful I figured I'd chime in. What if, instead of showing people things to buy, you focus on what they already have? Maybe...how you have your closet set up to create an easy outfit, how you organize your shoes/drawers/bags/etc. As far as being present goes, boy do I feel ya there. I absolutely adore seeing your family but just remember that your job doesn't require that you show us that part of your world. When I'm having a hard time being present I try the five senses practice (5 things you see, 4 things you hear, 3 things you can smell, 2 things you can feel, 1 thing you can taste). I find that this practice can be pretty grounding and it helps me be where I am and gets me a little less out of my head.
And everything’s relative!!! You’re allowed to have your feelings
Courtney!! thank you for your comments, youre making me smile and laugh!! sending you a big hug
Viviane, thank you so much for being so transparent with your feelings and sharing with us! You're definitely not alone with your struggle. Earlier this year, I started sharing a lot of beauty and fashion content, but at some point, really started questioning why I was sharing. I felt very caught up in the Instagram machine, where people are encouraged to post pretty photos, sell things, push consumerism, while followers blindly follow and buy. It felt especially wrong in a year, like you said, where saving should be encouraged and focus should be put on non-material things. I think the self-realization you're having and questioning the ethics of posting are things that not many people on the platform are thinking about. If anything, it really sets you apart from other content creators.
You also bring up feeling unmotivated to post. What you may also be experiencing is burnout. You stated content creation as your job and feel obligated to show up every day. However, traditional office jobs have weekends, holidays, vacation days, sick days--built in times for people to take a mental break. It's truly ok to need time off from your job, however long it may be. Your mental health should always be prioritized!

First off thank you for being so open and honest. You are nothing but real and authentic and I appreciate that so much. Have all been there for sure. I have felt that “rut” feeling quite often. I’m 27 back in school for nursing and living at home. I am so grateful for my family and having their support but it’s not easy. I dream of being like other people living on my own, creating my own life, being able to support myself, etc but that’s not my reality. I get so consumed with social media and what other are doing in their lives that I let my own pass me by. I’ve been trying to be more in the present with myself because I deserve that. I tell myself everyday that I am making strides to my ultimate goal and picture myself achieving all that I want in life. Listening to Jay Shetty’s Think Like a Monk book on the way to school and on walks has really helped me. I just wanted to let you know that we are always here for you and any feelings you do have are valid and real so don’t ever feel like your feelings are not as bad as anyone else’s. ♥️

Thank you for being so authentic and real... social media really seems to take over these days and it makes some days definitely harder than others. This is so relatable.
you're doing great sweetie, know that if you're ever down, you can always come here and be reassured that you are appreciated and understood. take time if you need, your mental health/ overall well being always comes first
My favorite content creator, thank you so much for being so transparent with us! You're not alone and your feelings are normal because what you're thinking is so morally significant. I think you're doing an amazing job but everyone needs a break! Give yourself some boundaries and show what you can without overstepping those boundaries. Start with something like 2 days off per week, where you give yourself family and personal time. Pray for patience, you got this beautiful! Sending my love
You are so incredibly relatable, honest and just authentic.I have personally found value in your suggestions (the UO jacket! needed a warm jacket for winter and the sixty stax earrings are amazing quality) i dont feel like the need to buy everything you suggest, people have personal responsibility and should discern their financial choices. i love how you preface it with "you dont need to buy this" thank you for your vulnerability babe!
Your struggles are real and not any less valid cause you have a different job then most people in this life. I’m sorry you’ve been really struggling. I think your true followers and fans would not be upset at all of you aren’t posting as much as you are. You do what you need to do. 🤍 thanks for letting us in.

Thanks Viv for this relatable message. 2020 has definitely brought more lows than highs but I honestly think that this is “the pause we all needed to restart”. Hope the moments you take for you help in getting your motivation back. Wishing you the best always.
Could not relate any harder to this video. I keep telling myself that December is a joyful time and I should be happy and excited but I just cannot get there. Taking it day by day and staying off Insta as much as I can. Thank you for sharing your thoughts & emotions. It feels comforting to know that other people are experiencing this as well.
thank you for being real. i feel the exact same way, but always remember YOU ARE ENOUGH. practicing being present is so important right now, i have had that struggle with always trying to capture memories. definitely trying to live with intention but also, it’s OKAY to take lots of pictures.. i love looking back at all the pictures and memories, but i stopped posting them i keep them to myself and print them out.. i deleted all my social media and it’s really helped with that comparison mindset. i know you can’t do that, but maybe set app limits so you can make time for yourself everyday because that’s sooo important. you are doing great, it’s normal to have those struggles, thank you so much for showing this real side of you! i’m a new subscriber and love to see your content!💖💖💖
you're literally the most down to earth human being... i appreciate and love you for speaking on this and not hiding it because now more than ever it is crucial to speak on mental health. i hope you and your mental feel better soon!! xo from nj 🦋
wrote this before i knew it was a giveaway ... ig: solangeereis
Everything you feel is real & valid. It took me a long time to realize that (actually, I still have to remind myself). As a 27-year-old who lives at home too, I can def relate to your inner conflicts, especially regarding your career & setting boundaries with yourself & your family. Thank you for being so authentic & transparent-your videos are a breath of fresh air & help me (& I’m sure many, many others) realize that we’re not alone in this.
Thank you so much for sharing. Your issues are super relatable and I respect you so much for being so publicly vulnerable!
You are the first content creator I followed and still by far my favorite. I may not be in the same type of career but all of these feelings are relatable - I feel like I’ve been failing my teammates at work recently and myself because I’ve been in a funk. You’re not alone! Keep your chin up!!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. Being relatable is probably the best content you could ever give us. I have been struggling this past week as well. I find it near impossible to focus on anything other than the pandemic and what comes with that. I often get stuck in my own mind too. I think we all need a little more self care!
social media gets on me too and i was even wondering how you deal with it - i just came up to conclusion that i couldn’t do what you do because of the pressure i wouldn’t handle and i now i can see that how hard it is actually for you. My tip would be that you could try playing some instrument (if you haven’t yet) it helped me to be more focused + new hobby that can make you happy ❤️❤️
I completely agree with you!!! This year has been full of highs and lows for pretty much all of us. I’m sorry you’re going through this tough time, but just know you’re not alone with it. 🖤✨
If it makes you feel any better! you and your family really lighten my day and not in a way where i see yall as perfect, but in a way that we can see small bits of an actual family that isnt perfect and i love it!
Thanks for being so real 🤍 you’re not alone. Just remember you are enough
Girl I love you! I cant explain how much I relate to certain things. Maybe you can make one day content related with your family & then save bits and pieces to share through the week with only one real day with the camera on you! Then the rest of the days are real and relaxed w family.
I think as humans we put so much pressure on ourselves and hold ourselves to such unrealistic expectations at times. It's okay not to push out good quality content every day if that's how you feel. Sometimes all we need is to take a step back to feel inspired again and get creative again. You're doing so well, you're authentic, inspiring and totally killing this social media game! wishing you love and a peace of mind always
hi viv, just wanted to leave a comment and let you know that your feelings are valid and I for one am really happy that you chose to mention it and work through it via social media rather than kind of disappearing (which you're totally allowed to do too). your transparency on social media is actually such a good thing and I understand the consumerism side is definitely a lot for just one person to handle so I think if you need to take a break and just wait till the funk passes, by all means do it!!! you'll come back when you're ready and know that you got out of bed that day for YOURSELF only, not for social media. anyways hope that wasn't too boring to read haha I hope you're feeling better :)
Thank you for being so real!!! Your feelings are completely valid and it is okay to feel this way. I think the seasonal changes have put me in a rut too - with the holiday season please don't feel the need to put any extra pressure on yourself, you're such a light
I really appreciate you sharing all these thoughts. I think many of us are feeling in a rut and conflicted, especially this year. I also really appreciate your honesty with how you feel about constantly pushing sales and products. As a consumer, it can be hard to resist when influencers are posting such great sales, etc. But at the end of the day, life is about more than just buying more “stuff”! Especially in times like these. Please take whatever time you need for yourself, it can be sooo easy to burn out, and everyone needs to have a break sometimes. Love you!💕
I totally understand when u said that sharing your life is your job but we love to see the real you and the first impression that you give it's so honest and realness and it's not easy to find people like you, we don't want to see the perfect life bc who have it???? It's better to just be yourself and believe me when I said that your followers loves you for that reasons!! You're allowed yo have feelings, loveyou!
I’ve been in a similar spot.. this life is hard and this year has brought us all to a breaking point. I used to really fear making memories before losing someone close.. then after it happened, I realized the best + sweetest memories are the ones where nothing big or exciting is happening. It’s morning breakfast with your family and going shopping with that person you love (probably the memories I miss the most). Journaling, time, and meditation has helped me to see that. But I still struggle. We are all human. Thanks for being so authentic and open- so needed on here. Sending love. 💛
Oh such an awesome giveaway too- my email is paxtonsiegel@gmail.com, and my insta is @paxtonbsiegel. Xx
Hi Viv, I absolutely love your content, all your beautiful outfits, product recommendations, and especially those inspirational morning walks. You've literally been the only thing to get me out of my house some days, and I really appreciate that. Thank you for sharing what you are going through, I've just recently moved back home from college because of covid, so I'm doing online school, while also working from home so I can totally relate to some of your struggles. Ever since you have brought up your attention to being present in moments a while ago on your Instagram, you have made me become more self-aware and grateful for my surroundings. I've really been trying to take more time for myself, time with my mom, and my dogs, and less time on my phone. Being inside can be draining and unmotivating, but it can also be something beautiful that we need to value and not take for granted. I don't know that I'll ever be able to spend this much time with those closest to me after the pandemic, and I have really been trying to remind myself of that when I feel down. Again, thank you so much for your honesty. Instagram can be a place where I feel really bad about myself, but you always seem to be a light on the app. Thank you!
p.s. I've been really wanting to try Kopari so my insta is rosalynnededmon if I happen to win the giveaway!
It’s extremely refreshing seeing how authentic you are! Not many “influencers” are as transparant as you are. You’re my favorite! Don’t ever ever change, you’re doing a great job with life 💕
Viviane, I'm literally only 19 years old, but feel like we are so similar. You're so real and your content is so refreshing to watch. My grandfather suffers with alzheimers and I know exactly what you're feeling. It is so hard! This video brought tears to my eyes. You're doing amazing and your feelings are valid!!
This is so raw and real and honest !! Love everything you said, and you put it so perfectly 🙌🏽🤍 even though we can’t relate to every single thing each other is going through, we can all understand it on a certain level and I think that’s why so many of us can relate to you and how you’re feeling ! Also when you said your biggest fear is not creating real memories !!! I felt that so deep 😭 Hope talking through all these thoughts made you feel better 🙏🏽
I love all of your content! You are one of my favorite influencers, don't beat yourself up! We love you and are here to support you. It is ok to go through things, but just remember everyone who loves you!
OH MY GODD YESS!!!!!!
YES YES YES!!!!
I feel like this pandemic is really creating mental health issues from depression, ptsd, to anxiety
Really love this! Can definitely relate to what your saying. I think balance is the key, having some boundaries with your work/life might help. Also just stay true to yourself. Yes it’s a job but you are you for a reason. Remain true to yourself and do what feels right to you.
Hiiii Viv!!! I’m also getting through an anxious phase and I’m still trying to figure it out. Today my yoga teacher told me to not make any decisions this year. It has been a weird year and the atmosphere is full of uncertainty which make everything grey. I don’t know if what I gonna say is going to be any helpful but here it goes: from my point of view, beside your work (from social media) you are still and a young woman who happens to live in this amazing Era of technology and we have to get its benefits. Saying this, I think that the fun part of being a master in sharing content (your work) is to share the things that really make you happy as a person (eg: you family, your thoughts, etc). Life is a balance, accepting the lows leads us to enjoy better the highs 😉

I have NEVER related to anything more. We have the same thoughts. This pandemic has destroyed and and all good habits I feel I had and now I have 0 motivation to get back to a healthy routine. My mind is in constant struggle. Thank you for being so honest! ❣️
sometimes the best content is what's raw and real! your followers obviously love the style and lifestyle portion of your social media but getting to know you as the "baggy sweatshirt" and "living in a robe" Viviane is just as important and just as great!!
@danikoldoff
Awh I love this so much. So well said Viv!!! All so relatable! I am active in social media as well and have a family- totally relate to everything being viewable/shareable!! One thing you could do, is maybe set aside one day a week that you dedicate to being unplugged and just with your family. Then when you know that day is coming up, you finish what’s necessary the days prior and keep that day sacred!! Every full time job needs a weekend!!! So much love for you!! 💕
Hey Viv! I wonder if it would help to intentionally establish what you will share each week, and force yourself to put the phone down at other times. Such as, "Monday I will share my morning routine and walk, then that's it for Instagram stories. Tuesday I will vlog the Bachelorette. Wednesday I will share some products from 11 a.m. - noon. Thursday I will share myself doing a holiday activity." Then refuse to let yourself share insta-stories or posts at other times, even if something "insta-worthy" pops up! (Or schedule posts!) And as for replying to things, maybe you could set aside an established time each day, like 1-2 p.m., to reply to messages and comments, then that's it until tomorrow. It helps me to set a timer on my phone for an hour and work productively until it goes off, with the promise that I am truly "done" with that task when the timer goes off.
Another thing that has helped me (I am also drowning in work... first year teacher during a pandemic) is to try to re-frame my mindset at the end of the day. Instead of feeling guilty and anxious about everything I didn't accomplish that day, I try to be grateful and proud of myself for all the things I DID get done. A small shift in perspective, but it can be challenging as well as very rewarding!
Thank u for this♥️ I just wanna say is...
"You - yourself, not someone else - need to determine where you want to go and what you want to do in your life. And once you make that decision, you can begin mapping a plan to get there and focusing on that objective every single day." Be yourself 💯♥️
Ig- @dhruvita_raval
FINALLY. Someone who gets it. First off great video *snaps to you for being so vulnerable I’m sure that wasn’t easy.* Every point you touched on is something I have felt or do feel even without social media being my job. Thank you for acknowledging the struggle between social media expectations vs reality. Secondly, please know your content is genuine. I really appreciate how you authentically show up in this space and I hope you continue to create only if it brings you joy. This video was dope and your thoughts/opinions are valid! Here to support you in ways you need it most!❤️
Such brave and important conversations! we feel you, we hear you and are here to support you!!
Viviane- Thank you so much for sharing! None of what you said was stupid, don’t be so hard on yourself! Everyone deserves a chance to take a break from social media even if that’s your job, it’s completely understandable. This year has been insane and hopefully things will look up in 2021 😊
ig: @emma_cancel
Remember that sometimes less is more and time off is an important part of being productive. Over consuming can actually hurt creativity. Joseph Gordon Levitt has a Ted Talk about it. Work has tough times no matter what you do. Life is a roller coaster. You got this ♥️
thank you for opening up & being so vulnerable! ❤️ from a non-influencer perspective, I’ve always made it a point to put my phone away from me whenever I hang out with friends or family & always when my family sits down for dinner. I’ll only bring it out if I want to show someone something that made me think of them or if I want to take some pictures. finding the work/life balance will take some time because balance is different for every person. but I had the idea while watching this that it might be helpful for you to snap pics, content, vids, etc. in the moment, but delay the posting or sharing. taking a pic can be quick & easy, but crafting a perfect post or editing is what eats up time. and as someone who consumes your content, I’ll never hold you to an expectation of posting all the time, in real-time, or sharing every detail. in terms of being present and making memories, 3 things have helped me immensely and esp since the pandemic. 1, continually muting insta stories/unfollowing people. 2, cleaning out virtual clutter like emails, texts, calls, safari history, bookmarks, and even Spotify playlists or Pinterest boards (gives me the same feeling as cleaning my room) - it allows you to let go and feel like there’s less to keep up with. and 3, my best memories revolve around all my senses being involved, whether it’s blasting music and singing and dancing, eating a new food, or acknowledging surroundings visually! I think memories that stick are the non-everyday things and bringing even the smallest amount of novelty to the mundane makes all the difference. sending all my love! @camrynrm
Its so crazy, if been following you for a couple of weeks now on Instagram and I feel the exact same way as you say in the first minutes of the vlog. This evening (it’s now evening for me) I felt the urge to look up your TH-cam account and I didn’t know why but maybe the universe was telling me I needed to hear this☺️ Thank you for sharing your feelings, I already feel a lot better because of you🥰
Viv, I can't express the importance of this video. The holidays are soo often masked with happiness (they can be/ are happy too!!) when most individuals really struggle through the holidays. Thank you for sharing with the entire internet where you're at! It is both intimidating and scary to be vulnerable on the internet. However, I think it is videos like this, and your family involvement which makes you stand out among influencers -- you're authentic and have been since the beginning. Anyway, I love the part of this video where you say that what you're going through may seem small to others, but its still valid. Too often I hear others disclose about their challenges and then end their "emotional dislodge" with "but at least I can still eat, or at least I have a mom, etc". It is beyond important that we listen to, feel, and acknowledge that our challenges are struggles are valid, no matter how they compare to others.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, for sharing!! You are so appreciated.

Not even just saying this but I genuinely see you as such a respected and genuine online presence. You truly are such a blessing! Thanks for opening up and I know so many of us can relate. A break genuinely would do you wonders gf, we will all understand 🤍🤍🤍
Thank you so much for sharing this! Would love to hear more about your inner thoughts like this and mindset/life tips since they are so interesting, well-spoken, and so relatable. Might be a good pivot or balance when you're not feeling outfits that aren't sweats or bathrobes. 😂 Hope you are feeling better! Sending love 🧡
Thanks for sharing this! I know it can be hard to be so vulnerable and open, but it really is a breath of fresh air to hear influencers talk about their feelings and it shows how instagram is really just a highlight reel
I can 100% relate to this! I love how openly honest you are and that takes so much courage. You also seem like you have such a heart of gold and I admire that. Your advice helped me with some confidence that I’m not the only one feeling like this! I cannot wait for this year to be over and to just have a fresh start. I absolutely love watching your videos and hope 2021 is better for the both of us girlfriend🤍
Instagram: natalieacquista if you ever need someone to talk to I would love that!
You are such a light 🥺 thank u for being u!!
You are doing AMAZING and should be SO proud! We all love you 😘
Thank you for sharing and being so vulnerable. Your words on Black Friday sales made me feel so validated for choosing to save this season and it’s so great to hear that others feel that way too
It’s been a tough year for sure. I lost my sister last year to cancer but just because this bad thing happened to me, it doesn’t diminish other’s struggles. All of our feelings are valid and nothing is linear. Keep your head up, you’re doing great 💕
Hi Viviane! I want to say that you are very brave for even posting these struggles because although I am a viewer, I totally relate to wanting to be present and negative self talk and other things. I would recommend journaling and MEDITATION!! Meditating helps so much with being present, with dealing with thought process and creativity. It’s a skill that you can do everyday and gets better each time.
About the sales and outfit inspiration you do... could I request for you to start doing thrifted hauls and inspirations? It’s better for the environment and is affordable!
Moving your body is always helpful too! Walking, running, yoga.. all that.
And if I can recommend an INCREDIBLE podcast, The Self Love Fix. It’s fantastic!
I hope you feel better :)
This year has been such a nightmare for many and you are not alone! Thank you for sharing how you cope because it’s really helpful!
Priorities change and that’s ok. We’re all still developing and blooming into who we really are!
I can relate as a teacher! It’s so hard to show up with energy and a happy face for the kids sometimes when I feel like I’m drowning!
Love watch you be so authentically you and open about your passion but also the real every day struggles. It’s very relatable so just know you’re not alone. You got this V. ♥️
THIS! This is such an important reminder and so comforting to hear other people vocalize the same feelings I’ve been experiencing. You are so real and honest and it’s refreshing to say the least! Agreed that living at home can be the pits at times (and for myself, doing a graduate program online on top of it all). I’m glad to see someone in the position you’re in taking time to express the importance of mental health & self care & self love & self appreciation.
thank you for being so honest and vulnerable
Thanks for sharing your feelings, that takes a lot of guts! Never apologize for feeling what you feel no matter what.
everyone is here for you!! it’s nice that you are opening up because there’s definitely so many people feeling the same🤍
One of my absolute favorites! So glad I found your channel...you’re so genuine and sweet 🥰
Ig: @m_casselberry
Thanks so much for uploading this and being so honest with us !! I think we’ve all been feeling a little like this lately with the current situation (covid) and also the change in the weather making us stay stuck inside 😔I understand where you’re coming from for the videos , but don’t feel like you’re forcing us to buy anything, we absolutely love your videos and if we buy things it’s because we love your style !! Yes I’ve been guilty of buying many of the clothes you recommended but I feel so good in those pieces and received compliments about them 💗 Also, we love how you show your family, but yes it is super important to personally take in those moments and fully enjoy them. I think if you’re feeling that way, maybe try to set times during the day where you don’t look at your phone or that you don’t pick up the camera 😊 Maybe also show more of you, tips, tricks etc if you feel like you are making too many fashion or family videos . Just know I’ll be watching anything you put out because honestly I feel like I can relate to you a lot and they make me so happy ✨ @cathcampanelli
It really is difficult to live in the moment in this day and age. I find that I struggle a lot with that same problem of wanting to capture all of these moments because I enjoy looking back on all of them. Thanks for sharing Vivane, know that you aren't alone either! ❤️
I really enjoyed watching this video, because you are being so honest and I can see that it already helps you talking about all this. One thing is for sure and that is that you do not have to say sorry for not being as present or motivated as usual. Take your time and you do you. I’m actually part of the people that had a really rough year, but we go on? Don’t we? All of the things you mention feel so relatable tho. I barely come out of the house and when I do I have anxiety on what to wear. Also, I also reaaaaaaally want to shop online (because what else can I do) but I have nowhere to go so that would (in my case) feel like a waste of money. It’s a struggle, but you don’t have to feel bad about it. We are still all protagonists in our own story. We still decide for ourselves what we can do and what we can’t do.
When you mentioned the point “I don’t know when was the last time I created a memory without capturing it on my phone”. I know how you feel and I’m not even a youtuber/influencer. We have become so phone-dependent and it is not your fault. In your case, I think that you have become sort of a movie maker and you just love what you do. Later you will be able to look back at all that video footage that you made and you will really enjoy watching it. It is true that from time to time we all need some social media detox, but don’t feel bad about what you did capture. You love your family, friends, job… and we notice that. It is not because you captured it that it will not become a memory.
I just wanted to say that, in the end of the video you are really motivating us to not feel bad but I want to say the same thing to you. You are an inspiration to many of us and you should not doubt that. Take your time, enjoy the holiday season and just be you. Lots of love X
Sidenote: when I was watching this video my mother passed by and asked me if I was in a video call with you 😂😂
Your content is so real I feel like I know you. My grandparents are also losing their memory and it is incredibly hard to watch. I have also been living with my parents since I graduated from college in May and it is definitely an adjustment. I love my family and I feel grateful to be spending so much time with them but it can feel suffocating at times. Just know that I understand what you are going through and you are not alone.
What I love about you is that you’re so transparent and real!!!! Hang in there Viv and just know that you aren’t alone. Your feelings are valid and you’re so brave for sharing! ❤️
viv! you know i think you’re the most genuine and kind person. i admire you so much. the way you think through everything and how you go about morality in life is so amazing. everything you’re feeling is 1000% valid and real. don’t apologize for your feelings. I think everyone is struggling right now. Just know that it only gets better from talking about it. Love you!
sammmm! it really does get better from talking about it, it's kinda of crazy the release of anxiety you feel when you expel those thoughts from your body! love you babe, thank you for your constant love and support.
@@VivianeAudi sending you one back! enjoy the holidays, make memories, go for walks, bake cookies, do your thing!
Thank you for being so open and genuine. The points you made 100% hit home! It is so important to keep checking in to make sure we all have balance! How many times have I said "I want to take a picture for the memories" so necessary to really think about what and who these memories are for! Thank you
You are beautiful! I enjoy your videos so much and your personality really shines through. I think that what you are going through happens to an extent in almost all fields. Thank you for being so honest. God bless :)
Viv, you’re so real and down-to-earth and always have been, and I absolutely love that about you! I completely relate with everything that you’ve been feeling, which are all totally valid. I’m not a blogger but I also live at home with my parents and struggle with that, being present, and the balance between living life making real memories vs sharing on social media. My heart and prayers go out to you and your adorable family 💗 I’m so sorry about your sweet grandma, and that you have been going through all of this. I have faith that you will make it through and grow stronger from what you’re experiencing. You are a beautiful soul inside and out. I genuinely feel your authenticity, your beautiful heart, and the impact you’re making regardless of the season you’re in or feelings you are having - simply by being yourself. Your Instagram stories are my fav and literally the highlight of my day - it always feels like listening to one of my best friends, and I know so many people can agree. I pray that the One above is the only one who fills your thoughts and your heart 💛 you are doing absolutely amazing. @melissadrinnon
thank you for opening up
I feel the same as you in many ways, especially the comparing. It's hard during this time, thinking that other people are being social and doing more fun things. Also just comparing lives in general, it's hard not to especially when social media mostly show the positive. I just want to say that I've really enjoyed your content especially this year.
You’re so real, babe. Hang in there! ❤️ I’m proud of you and you will come out stronger. I promise.
i totally understand where are you coming from. it’s very overwhelming to be an influencer/working with social media, and to be honest, you don’t need to post everything you do. i know the feeling like “oh i want to post this” but “ah i think i should live the moment” it’s a limbo hard to manage. my advice is just what you want to do, everything in life is a balance & working with social media just makes you compare yourself TOO much all the time. So maybe, each day get time for yourself, for your family and things off camera. Even tho it’s your job, don’t let your job consume your TIME. Time is the most important thing we have, don’t let the pressure of the world take that from you.
I’ll be praying for you!!
Thanks for speaking up and really sharing your true feelings about social media v. reality.. I really admire how you think bc I feel the same about social media especially with all the circumstances going on now... anyway I hope you get enlightened and give yourself more credit! Love your videos and how you’re close with family 🤍🤍🤍
Hi Jonah! Thank you for your words, means more than you know. I know sometimes social media can seem very superficial, but the issues it causes are real and people all over are struggling. I hope this resonated with you and others and just helps anyone know they're not alone! Definitely trying to give myself more credit and grace. thank you for your love
Viviane you’re doing amazing!!! Never stop being you!!
Sending you hugs! I lost my grandma to Alzheimer's. I know you feel like you aren't always "present" when you're recording, but one day you're going to look back and be so thankful you always included your family in your content. You're making more memories than you know
This was so raw and honestly such an inspiring side that most need to hear! I love how true you are. Xoxo you are inspiring

thank u for being so real!! I look up to you and I just want to say your human. I know how hard it can be to always be in the online world 24/7 because i feel the same way but it is ok to take time for yourself!! you are so sweet and honest and i know that everyone that follows you will understand and respect your choice!! ily
Thank you for your transparency. 2020 has been a tough year for all of us and not easy to acclimate to the changes so you’re not the only one!
As far as capturing memories with your family or being more present, you don’t have to share those memories with us. Those are your memories to hold on to. You’ll find a good balance, I promise. You’ll find it as you go along and continue your endeavors. And you’re right, we can’t compare ourselves with the rest of the world and social media. Celebrate your accomplishments! You have supporters that enjoy your content and transparency, just keep doing you!
At the end of the day, set yourself short and long term goals and make sure to reward yourself when you meet those goals :)
I know exactly what you are going through and feeling. This is so relatable. I struggle with the same stuff. It's very hard to deal with this but I take it one day at a time.
Lots of hugs and I'm sorry about your grandma. ❤

Hi Jeanette, thank you for this message and for the hugs- I will more than gladly take them :) Sending love to you as well, you're not alone and we will get through it
Really can’t convey how much I loved this video. The part about being too hard on yourself really resonated with me as that’s definitely something I’m currently struggling with too. Sending you and everyone else feeling down right now positive energy💜

Wow. Thank you so much for posting this. I have been struggling so much these past couple months. Feeling overwhelmed and lonely at times with everything going on. Glad to hear I’m not alone. Adore you and your videos!
Yes! I relate to this so much, I’ve been struggling with the time change and feeling like I can’t do enough or be productive enough. I am in nursing school and we’re about to have a whole month off and I want to be as present and in the moment during these weeks. I love that you have shared these thoughts because the holidays aren’t all cheer and fun for all ❤️✨ you will get through this and do great things
I relate to this so hard. Literally, every single thing you mentioned❤️ we’re all collectively sharing a traumatic experience right now and the only thing that gets me through it is gratitude and the hope that one day soon (I mean months go by like seconds anyways nowadays lol) this will all be over and we will no longer have to worry about risking DEATH every time we walk outside. Yeah it’s seriously understandable to be going crazy right now. You got it girl, stay strong!!
You’re a sweet soul. We are all trying in this world. You’re doing your best. I can’t relate to your social media presence and your job but I understand completely. Also, maybe try to pencil in times and days during the week that you won’t film with your family? Or you can plan it monthly? It may work if you are list person. Staycations (weekends or one night) every few months might also be a nice stress reliever to get out of your full house. Just a few ideas..wish you luck!
Thank you so much for sharing these feelings so openly, it really sheds a light that no one is alone and you’re such a real person to have on social media. It’s so great you’re taking time to reflect, and I think you’re doing great!!! 💜 we all love and appreciate you!
Love you so much. Thank you 🙏 for sharing your feelings with us. You do an amazing job you should be proud of what you do and don’t burn 🔥 out. Life is to be lived and enjoyed so always have that in your mind. XxxX
