I'm 39 and honestly I spent my 20s and early 30s concentrating on my looks, I got to mid 30s and it just started to hit me that it didn't matter in the grand scheme of life. I already 'knew' this but it wasn't until I was older that I really felt and believed it. Absolutely get treatments if you want but just know that in the future you won't have this judgement on yourself, it's pretty great! Xx
Hey Zoe! Fellow Montrealer here, just turned 32 and I feel so old!! I used to put so much makeup on in my 20s because I thought it looked professionnal (I am a lawyer) but I decided to go bare faced for a couple of weeks and honestly I gained so much confidence realizing I am not scaring people (or at least not all of them!) And it is mostly all in my head. You are so pretty + still oh so young so please enjoy the best years are ahead of you.
Isn't it crazy that when you don't wear your usual amount of makeup as a woman one day, people think something is wrong with you?! I've been asked if I'm sick because I skipped makeup one day. Not really sure where that comes from but it's something I think about often 🙄
@elizamartin4263 yes! Its so ridiculous that people need to comment that we look sick without makeup/less makeup... I haven't worn any powder/concealer/foundation/eyeliner since beg of 2024 and my skin has improved so much! I simply put some mascara (natural one) and a dash of lipstick when I go to Court and have gained so much more confidence since.
@@Elena-m3f2l that's amazing! I try to keep my daily makeup use fairly light (eyebrow gel and pencil, mascara and powder foundation). That way, when I don't wear makeup, I don't feel unrecognizable to myself or uncomfortable with how I look. And when I do want to glam up for an evening, it feels like a step up from my normal routine. Everyone should do what makes them feel confident but it shouldn't be an invitation for judgment or criticism, especially from men.
One thing I notice as someone who is 22 and feels like I'm losing my prime, is that all of our insecurities are subjective and in our society, our insecurities are preyed on to make money. The beauty industry is one of the biggest industries, so now when I feel "ugly" or I find something I don't like, I think about where I got the idea that acne or wrinkles was ugly. I think about who is feeding that to me and whether that person makes money through feeding me those insecurities. Obviously an injector will try and convince you that wrinkles are bad, plastic surgeons will critique your whole body, just to make money.
this is such a good way to look at it!!! like why are wrinkles and grey hair “sexy” on men but “vile” on women?? im trying to hard to change my perspective on this, yet the world is truly fighting back haha
Finalllly decided to treat myself to the matcha gentle productivity planner. I’ve been following you for over a year now and I am so grateful for your channel. We live very similar lives as small business owners, and your videos are always at the top of my watch list the hour they come out. Thanks for another year of money feels, personal growth and transparency, and feeling like a close friend with each video. Hope you have a fantastic holiday!!!💝🎁
Team paper, I never seem to keep up with online calendars, events etc it just does not register in my mind unless I am writing it down 😂. I have been too busy with fieldwork but if there were a dark blue planner I would call it ‘Aurora Nights’ in line with Canadian’s rare weather phenomenon as are people’s personal goes when they hit them 🩷🩷🩷
Love the thought and intention that you put into your planners! I think it would be so fun to offer stickers as an add on. Zoe stickers…money, fitness, coffee, city!
bought the journal!!! team paper, loved the matcha. also thank you for talking about the aging thing. i turned 28 a few months ago and needed to hear this!!!
girlll the vlogs are A MOOD and can't wait to reward myself with a gentle productivity journal😍 also, please DO NOT drive with a hairclip ON that's a dangeeer 😭
I was STRUGGLING with a flaky dry scalp and finally I tried oiling my scalp and leaving it over night and it’s 80% better! Also I have dark hollowness under my eyes and I got filler under my eyes and it changed my eyes completely for the better. The color has improved and it just looks fuller im super happy with it! I did it last year at 30!
i ordered the blue skies 🩵 perfect timing for the new year as the pink peony one just filled up 😌 i do wish there was a “week at a glance” page for tasks that might not be essential to do on a specific day but can be checked off once done throughout the week. there’s a lot of space on the daily to-do lists but i find myself putting too much on my plate! i wonder if the journaling space could be larger on the daily page and more space for a to-do list could be on a weekly page. just a suggestion based on how i used my first gentle productivity planner! love what you’re doing zoe!!
congrats on the launch!! would love to grab a planner myself but will save up a bit more as shipping in asia is a bit more expensive. definitely eyeing matcha though ♡
Hey Zoe, when it comes to the looks and confidence, Im dealing with that exact thing and Im 27!! It sucks😓 but I definitely want to love what I see when I look in the mirror. I use to love my features but now I find myself wanting to improve alot. I have an assymetrical facial structure so that doesn’t help, I also have dark circles and bags under my eyes thats genetics. In 2022 I loved my skin and features but after braces I realized my facial structure has changed.. Ive been looking into things to do that doesn’t require surgery but 2025 is definitely dedicated to working on what I don’t like
I am always tempted by the champagne and matcha planners! But I'm not a physical planner person, struggle so much with being consistent! I just rely on my Outlook calendar for everything lol
Hi Zoe, I loved this video discussing self confidence. I think we as women all have this struggle. I love the idea of you getting facial treatments. I want to go ahead and set up me some facial visits as well. I will be 53 in January and self care and love is extremely hard for me. I would love to see you on your facial and self care journey bc this is a subject all women can learn from. I also seen where you had LASIK eye surgery.... I'm still planning on getting that done hopefully this year.
When you talked about not feeling confident about how you looked or about getting older, it saddened me to hear 😢, but I understand because I felt the same way at your age. I am 44 so much older than your target audience. I don’t judge a person if they decide on surgery or less invasive treatments. I do think it needs to be well considered if it is right for you. At your age, you realize you are getting older but you are not old at all. When you enter your 30s you will be more confident and in your 40s even more so, please be kind to yourself, Zoe. I don’t look like I am in my 20s but many people have guessed me to be younger. What has worked for me so far since I was young (take what you will): -good sunscreen 365 days a year (even in Winter for this Canadian woman and I have fair skin) -Moisturizer - Gentle facial cleanser - Other face products, adjusted for the season and the state of my skin -Sleep! 😂 Critical for just about everything as you get older -Stress management! -Avoid the sun at peak times or cover up -Good nutrition (snacking and poor habits show up in my face) - Good sweaty workout - Strength training or weight training temporarily adds facial volume (important when I lost weight so this keeps face and body in shape the best it can) - Very little alcohol - No smoking or drugs - Make water your beverage most of the day - Finding much older women (that you know or are famous) who can be inspiration about owning womanhood through every life phase with intelligence, vitality, joy, and one’s own sense of beauty
I love so much your videos, they are my treats for when I need selfcare 🥰 I'm team digital planner, but team paper for Journaling 😂 i am sad that I moved from Montréal before i knew your channel because i would have come to you classes😭
Hi! I know a random comment might not help, but I honestly wish I'd look like you without any make up :) But your feelings are very valid!! (30yo woman)
Also! Very familiar with having bags under my eyes no matter how much I sleep, so I feel you! Since it's not just coloration, theyre actual bags so concealer can't really make them disappear
A huge part of this is about advertising and social media content a person consumes. I'm older than you by a decade and in my time, botox and other procedures were almost unheard of among women in their 20s. Even anti-aging creams were a joking matter, and now they're so popular among young women, it's honestly scary. Women don't have too look like dolls--porcelain and unblemished skin, forever *very* young, etc. Our faces change, but who's to say they're changing for the worse? We're maturing, that's all. But I get that you feel the pressure, especially since you're watching your face more than most people who aren't content creators. Since you'd like to work on changing your perspective, I recommend following social media accounts that are showing photos of real women without filters, their skin, their bellies, etc. It may be quite uncomfortable at times, because we're used to seeing the perfect poses and everything, but it feeds your brain something other than the filtered and created "perfection". Another way is looking, really looking at other women in our lives and asking ourselves, "Would I love/like/respect her any less if she wasn't wearing makeup? What about once she gets wrinkles?" - those questions can be a wake up call as well.
You have very Mediterranean eyes. If you lived in Greece or southern Italy, there would be no mention of your eyes because that is a very common trait.
When you are not feeling confident about how you look, just think of what you are going to tell your daughter one day if she were to say that to you about herself. ❤
are you team paper or team digital for planners?? 📝💻
Team digital
paper forever
Both 😊

if im young so are you!! 🩵🩵🩵 i seriously need to go bare faced for a bit! i actually notice the more i wear makeup the less confident i feel 🙃

we had one called Pink Peony when we launched! it was so cute but we lost most of the inventory in shipping 😭
I was STRUGGLING with a flaky dry scalp and finally I tried oiling my scalp and leaving it over night and it’s 80% better!
Also I have dark hollowness under my eyes and I got filler under my eyes and it changed my eyes completely for the better. The color has improved and it just looks fuller im super happy with it! I did it last year at 30!

What has worked for me so far since I was young (take what you will):

-Moisturizer
- Gentle facial cleanser
- Other face products, adjusted for the season and the state of my skin
-Sleep! 😂 Critical for just about everything as you get older
-Stress management!
-Avoid the sun at peak times or cover up
-Good nutrition (snacking and poor habits show up in my face)
- Good sweaty workout
- Strength training or weight training temporarily adds facial volume (important when I lost weight so this keeps face and body in shape the best it can)
- Very little alcohol
- No smoking or drugs
- Make water your beverage most of the day
- Finding much older women (that you know or are famous) who can be inspiration about owning womanhood through every life phase with intelligence, vitality, joy, and one’s own sense of beauty
Congrats on the launch! I’m so excited for my new blue skies planner ❄️
