i am a 44 year old fat Black american woman who found your channel a few months ago and have been here ever since. i’m not a runner or music student, just someone who wants to move on a regular basis and loves pilates reformer. not exactly sure what it is about your videos that resonate with me but i’ve enjoyed your humor, the editing of your videos and your friends you’ve shown here and there. now in this video you’ve touched on multiple things that really interest me so i’m looking forward to 2024 - mobility, dumbbells over barbell (i recently put down the barbell too and trying to be ok with dumbbells), swimming (i want to learn to swim next year) ironman (i have a good friend who has done them for years) and not being the best at finances (ME!!!!). glad i found you and here’s to more in 2024.
OH MY GOD THE TH-cam SCHEDULER DID ME DIRTY AND POSTED THIS EARLY THATS WHY THIS WAS UPLOADED WENDESDAY NOT SATURDAY HAHAH!! Sorry there will be no upload on Saturday, but SUPRISE ENJOY THE EARLY UPLOAD HAHAHAHA
I’m so hesitant to follow “influencers”, but your humorous yet reflective self awareness coupled with actually meaningful information keep me coming back. Keep doing what feels right for you, because that’s what keeps us coming back for more. You don’t need us to tell you; you’re gut until this point has guided you well, so keep listening to that intuition. You’ve got this.
I haven't watched one of your videos in over a year but I am very happy I clicked on today's upload! There was a point where you were doing too many challenges and I felt disconnected with your content. It was nice to see a grand update on your ventures c: personally I loved the style of your video today and enjoyed how honest it felt 💕 thank you and I am excited about your running ventures as I just picked up running recently and I am considering challenging myself to run half a marathon next year and then hopefully a marathon in 2025! Thank you for bringing "a little light" into your viewers day!
Thank you for being so honest with me!! This is exactly what I was feeling with the disconnect and a really big motivation towards future content ❤ Will keep this all in mind for my 2024 series! SO happy you clicked on todays too! Good luck with your hard marathon training! YOU GOT THIS
can we take a moment for keltie’s HAIR she has come so far on her journey without extensions i remember her sobbing over her hair a couple years ago & now you’d never even think she’d consider them
It's really refreshing to hear you talking about financial struggles. Because that is real life and makes me feel better and motivated about my own situation
After nearly 4 years of work, I'm going into 2024 debt free. As an ADHD person, it's very difficult for me to stick to a plan for any length of time so I'm more proud of myself for doing it than I expect anyone else to be. My next chapter will bring a shorter hairstyle, more internal reflection and saving money to buy a newer car.
Oh man the discussion of not really wanting to do the sport you used to be really competitive in - it hits! Former figure skater here, and people are often surprised that I don't really have a desire to be involved in the sport at all anymore. I too find I get a little bummed out and depressed that I'm not as good as I once was - and that's okay. New shit, new me. But yes, always like an excuse to show off with friends haha
2023 was the year I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety. I've frantically been trying to implement new habits but not going about it correctly. My attention span is gone and I have poor self discipline. In 2024 I want to create the best version of myself. Having a workout routine I stick to, no matter what, stop picking my skin, changing my relationship with alcohol, feeling more organised and capable of performing better at work etc. That's a big reason that I am loving your content at the moment, it's great inspiration.
I have a dark skin tone (similar to Lupita Nyongo) and I LOVE Murad Invisiblur SPF 30!! It doesn't leave a cast AND it's a mattifying primer in one! Supergoop doesn't leave a cast but it makes me look oily which I'm not a fan of. I don't wear makeup but the invisiblur makes my skin look poreless!
I too have a dark skin tone (somewhere between Oprah & best-friend Gayle … hmmm, maybe Taraji P Henson???). Anyway, the Supergoop “Every Single Face” works really well for me w no white caste. But I also absolutely use a mattifying primer afterwards - Smashbox original “smooth & blur” or Fenty Beauty (the medium one). I then put on under-eye concealer, do my brows/lashes w mascara, etc and my makeup lasts all day - I don’t have to do touchups!
You could call it the "Own it, Keltie!" series. Like discovering, honouring and embracing what and who you are, keeping the things from challenges that truly resonate with you and letting go of what is not.
All I can day is, whatever you make on here, I’m here for the long haul!!! You truly have been a beacon of light for me so many times. You helped to reinforce how to form a better relationship with myself through healthier practices :) I’m well on my way, and it’s been great having you here with me (even if we’ve never actually met lol)
Great video! You are such a joy to watch! I’m not in your target demographic I’m sure- late 40s, mom of teens- but I’m a runner and into fitness and you keep me up to date on new fitness trends and though you look like a supermodel you are so down to earth and just seem like such a nice person! So great to see a self-made young woman! Best of luck on your marathon training! I’ve done many and they are amazing!
I love how honest and genuine you are. It's a treat for me to listen to you while I'm cooking dinner or driving into work. Your product recommendations are always a big hit for gifts for friends. I never would have stumbled upon some of them on my own, like the Drunk Elephant Marula Oil. For your series, how about "Running into Myself - A Journey of Growth" or "Beyond the Finish Line - My Road to Self"?
From someone who sucks with money and it was never talked about and I was just sent out to figure it out on my own I appreciate so so much any videos you put out about money or debt it needs to be talked about more!
you should call the series To My Future Self, because you always end your challenge videos with some insightful message and if you're thinking about being the best version of yourself I think those insights will double down on meaning. The title sounds cheesy but if you're all in it's just another reason to keep going! As you were talking about it I just thought of how important it is to write love letters to yourself, to keep your promises, to embrace, YOU, and that feels like what you're trying to do. Become the best version of yourself, and that starts with love and being true. Keltie, you are a bright light in the community, and you do bring joy and sunshine to youtube by just being yourself. I loved this video. I'm excited to see what 2024 brings. - I saw someone below say Discovering Keltie, and that is a way better name for the series- it also gives you freedom to change things up mid-year if something's not working.
Thank you so much for being so open and honest. I’m so excited about your 2024 plans!! Ever since I started my TH-cam journey you have been a huge source of motivation to keep going and make this creator journey work. Big hug!
You can call it "Keltie's Korner"! Then you can have all the vlogs, challenges, sit down videos, GRWM, etc. that you love to do! I also can relate with your basketball chat... I played NCAA D1 hockey and I miss the gameday hype. ps. thank you so much for your videos, I found you when I was diagnosed with cancer at age 20 right after I moved across Canada (Ottawa to Victoria) and you have helped me get back into fitness and becoming well rounded with the 5 "S" types of workouts. THANK YOU!!
Keltie you’ve got me hooked on LMNT! Used your code a few months ago and now my boyfriend and I can’t get enough of it. I even make a hot chocolate with their regular chocolate flavor before putting on this video and am drinking it while watching. Can’t wait to try the new chocolate flavors! You’re awesome and inspiring-thank you for doing what you do!!
i was a high school golfer and could have played in college. i even went to school for and worked in the golf business for 15 years. i hit the wall and haven't played in 8 years and have no desire to play again. love your videos and honesty!
Mobility is THE #1 important part of a workout! I made a huge mistake and dieted myself to obesity. I did everything wrong including the wrong kind of working out over the years destroying my skeletal muscular organ. Now between my weight and lack of muscle I am in so much pain it is not even funny! I can't even get things like cleaning my house done. Yesterday I started Physical Therapy, and we are working on getting my mobility back, helping me with stability, and flexibility, along with getting my weight off. I started really researching the subject and found out that building up your skeletal muscular system is not only important to mobility strength, and weight loss, but also for the prevention of Dementia in your older years.
You’ve gotta try some trail races, it doesn’t have to be an ultra, there are shorter distances. Trail racing is just a different vibe and I think you should give it a try. If nothing else the snacks are better during trail races! And probably some gorgeous trails around Vancouver!
Keltie I have watched you from the beginning and I have always loved your content! I will still watch it even if you switch over to more vlog style content - I think people burn themselves out so badly from trying to only stay in one niche of content. You inspire me so much & I love your vids! I feel like the general audience that watches this style of content probably also watches lifestyle and vlog content anyway!
Thank you SO MUCH HALLIE! This is so encouraging that I can make more content like this an level of creatively vs just more extreme challenges. Sending the biggest hug ❤
Bring on the vlogs! Also, I started reading a book earlier this year... where author had the reader envision their "ideal self." And then she argued that we, all women, should completely abandon the goal of becoming her. BecUse humans are flawed, but it's in our flaws, in our pain, in our imperfections that we find common ground. That we learn empathy and build deep relationships with other people. If we were perfect, or our Ideal Self, we'd never have a need beyond ourselves - for God, for others - we'd be pretty self-sufficient. Now.... it might be a little extreme of a view, but I thought it was compelling. There is so much we can learn from choosing compassion for ourselves in our "mistakes" and in our shortcomings. And I think that you're someone who wants everyone to feel that they're loved and worthy, but don't always give yourself space for that. So just a little reminder that you don't have to be That Girl (cause really, who IS?) and you don't have to be ideal. Just keep being you.
I've watched you for years and I think this is my favorite video you've done. I watch you for your content, yes, but also because I like YOU, so I would love more vlogs/sit-downs! (your personality is NOT a deterrent) Thank you for this video and for always being so authentic
I appreciate the transparency in your videos! Especially about your finance troubles/ debt as that’s something I don’t see content creators talking about but it’s so normal to so many people. I would love to see a colab between you and Caleb hammer, he helps people create budgets to tackle debt.
I love your videos when you are just being yourself. No challenges, just you living your life, sharing your routines, and just your awesome humor. You are incredible ❤
For the series, it sounds like you want to 'discover your favorite/ultimate self' maybe the title should have something around that? You're ramping up for an incredible year either way! Love this video and would absolutely be interested in more vlogs!
Some ideas for the series: "Discovering Keltie," "Becoming Keltie," "Finding Keltie," "The Essense of Me," "My dream self," or "This is Me." I personally love "Becoming Keltie." This is who you are. I love how much more personable it is when you use your name. We'll watch the videos and maybe be inspired and cheer you on, but this isn't who we believe yourselves to be. It's you. You're not showing us the best version of us; you're showing us you. And we're here for it. Another great video as always. Keep it up! I'm looking forward to the new series.
I love the idea of spending 2024 altogether becoming the best of ourselves. You said that it's like "becoming that girl" without the connotations that there's someone else we should become, my thought for a title is somewhere along the lines of "becoming us" or just "becoming" more like we are all with you on just being who we are more and more.
Studied ballet from when I was 5 until 17, in high-school I joined the track team and the cross country one after that, after years of struggles with an ed I had to prioritise recovery so I stopped running. About 18 months ago I started running again and fell in love all over. Feeling like myself again. In 2023 i went bcak to uni, studying biology with a profile in human nutrition! My goals for 2024 are running a half-marathon and a 16k trail.
You are just the best! So inspiring ! You work so hard for your goals . You go after them with so much positivity and light and humor in spite of all the effort and discipline . Also you expressed the ‘not waiting for coffee in the morning ‘ sentiment perfectly! You are “that girl” in the most positive way ! Xo
I really love watching your bubbly, authentic and funny personality in the videos. And girl, I am so much team "life is not making sense without this first morning coffee!"
I lived in NYC after college and played rec and summer leagues mostly with the same team for 8/9 years. it really depends on the city and offerings but looking back I’d take these years in rec over college ball anyday. I unlearned toxic thought patterns about my game, grew my game through the most capable ages 22-present day, and basically found love for it on my own after college gave me the beat down. Get out there girl! We out here training for the senior leagues!
Supergoop will burn your eyes if it’s anywhere near/above them- just a heads up! Epionce tinited sunscreen is fantastic and they just put out a darker tone. I can put it right up to my lashes with no burning. It stays in place for a long time, too. Elta MD is also excellent.
I found your channel about a month ago and I am obsessed!! Been watching constantly I think I’ve learned everything about the last 3 years of your life in a month 😂
TH-cam being too excited for Keltie’s content and releasing the video early, yes please! 😮 The end of an Era is coming up, the Wellness Diaries series has been so amazing. Can’t wait to find out all about next year’s new content!
I’m having the best time watching your videos! A giggle inside, you seem soo bubbly and down to earth at the same time! Loved everything in this video, that grwm was so chaotic with the twisting and turning of the bottles and I just laughed so hard 😅 I can’t believe you’re not bigger, I hope 2024 gives you the attention you deserve!
You should just call it “becoming me” because we’re all a work in progress and life is a journey and I think we’re all just trying to become the best versions of ourselves so learning to enjoy the process of becoming your true self is imperative 😌
My series name suggestion “Upgrade Me”, “Uplevel me”, or “upgrade you” like the Beyoncé song. Love your content. Excited for the financial info and content ideas for next year!
I feel like I've been trying to "better myself" since I was a child, and now I'm 35 and still on that path. I like the idea of a "that girl" series and may do my own "that girl" challenge in the next year. Somewhat related, here are a few books I've read that may fit into some of the topics you covered in the video: - Profit First, by Mike Michalowicz (specifically money/business finance). I like the Kakeibo method for personal budgeting, but Profit First is great for business budgeting. - Living Forward, by Michael Hyatt. Definitely fits into your next series, he talks about writing a life plan (think business plan, but for your life) and then setting annual goals based on this plan.
This may be a bit out of pocket since it's more content-specific with the 2024 programming than a specific name, but I think it would be really cool for you to have a "Thank you Past Keltie/Self" and "Dear Future Keltie/Self" segment as you execute your different challenges. Just highlighting why you decided that this challenge was something you wanted to do based on your past experiences and what you want to gain out of it. If you did go with this idea, you could title it, "Sincerely, Current Keltie/Self" It was really interesting to hear about your struggles with finances here so I'm very excited for those challenges next year. (Also as a former competitive swimmer who feels similar to how you feel about basketball, damn that's so relatable. I love it. It's got a special place in my life, but it can't be what it once was.)
Hey Keltie! So glad to hear you are infusing self care and trying to balance your life by adding what you enjoy:) I totally relate.. Is it the year of Keltie? After decades of working 12 hour day and night shifts, taking care of my mother her and my home and my family, I have declared 2024 the year of me! I retired from my job, my mother passed and I am shifting my focus to what I need and want instead of what needs to be done. There is some re adjustment required from the people around you, but eventually they will realize that the word no doesn't need to come with an explanation. Good luck with your musical pursuits. I look forward to hearing how it's going. As for your weekly downloads, Do them whenever it fits your schedule. You can't satisfy all of the people all of the time. And isn't it what is great about you tube? I can watch you whenever i want🤩
it was so lovely too enjoy some catch up time with you keltie!! it feels so amazing too get to know you a little more! the girl behind the camera!! would love these regularly!!🥰🫶🏻
You really do bring light into my days, even if I'm not a typical fitness girly I always feel welcome on your channel and motivated to do the sports that make me happy!!
People hear that I used to play basketball for 11 years and then they asked when I last did hoops or what ever and I go with a straight face: "I haven't touched a basketball in 7 years and I don't really want to." Right after I quit, I didn't touch a ball for like 2-5 years. And you're right, it's not the same anymore but part of your brain hopes that you lost nothing with the years.
SO so excited for your half mari recap video!!! I've been getting into running (signed up for 4 races next year, my last one being a full marathon!) and you have just inspired me so much (also PS you would KILL an ironman or ultra. Whatever you decide to do, you really give it your all!! Xx)
I absolutely love your channel, love your personality, your content is so interesting, different from every other creator. I would love for you to post vlogs again. Honestly, it feels like Christmas when you post a new video. You are more than an influencer - I'd say an inspirator!
this was so fun to watch over a cup of coffee and oatmeal cookies :) maybe you can call your 2024 series "Making this Year Mine" or "The Year I Became Myself" or "Not Next Year, But This Year" idk some ideas haha. I know whatever you choose is gonna be amazing! You really inspired me to try new things this year! Saunas are now my favorite! Keep it up Keltie, and I cannot wait to see ALL of your new content to come!!
I would watch a vlog! I actually enjoy vlog style videos more than challenges, however if challenges is what you post, I still choose to watch because I do enjoy your personality! I think if people didn’t, they wouldn’t watch you at all vlog or challenge.
Former volleyball player and I’m totally with you on the former athlete thing. I’ve played a few times after college it always feels like there’s something missing. I still enjoying watching it but not playing.
Suggestion for your 2024 series: “One step closer to winning at life” Idk it seems like you’re really chasing things that you’re not only passionate about but need to do (finances). So you’re chasing your passions and getting your shit together at the same time.
I liked this video, was interesting to hear you talk about your plans and what's going on in your personal life and sharing some financial stuff. Next year I want to run a trail ultra marathon and find a house of my dreams that is super close to nature. And continue getting strong!
I love this style of video and getting to know you better Keltie! It’s more fun to see how you conquer your personal challenges and goals! Plus you reminded me I am out of LMNT!
I would love to see a creator talk about finances that is admittedly not great with finances so I look forward to whatever you work on for that next year. I am not a New Year's resolutions person but in general I'm really trying to build a basic exercise routine into my day on the days of the week that I don't climb.
I haven’t seen you in a while and it’s so great to see you back on here! I agree with you, mobility is more important to me, so I did the stretching exercises at the beginning, and may focus on those more than the rest of my workout. I hope you are getting enough protein. You are looking very very thin. I don’t mean this in a bad way… I was you! And then I started to get bone fractures.much love from sunny Florida !
I would looooove some honest finance vids in 2024! As a person who has also struggled with money in the past and not having good habits I think it would be great to see finance content from a non-financial TH-camr. Ive watched all the people who are good with money and now I want to hear what works and what doesn't from somebody who has ups and downs with money and for whom being financial isn't a big part of their personality. Ideally I would love an honest breakdown of what you make and what you spend and what methods you employ for budgeting, sticking to a budget and your future financial goals.
This was great! I like your challenges too, but I agree intermixing some of this kind of content is really nice. Random recommendation for your financial journey/budgeting thing -- I really like YNAB. It's a budget using money you already have rather than trying to predict spending and it's been the first budget thing that's actually worked for me. I've tried things like Mint, etc, but YNAB is the one I've now been using for like 5 years now. It finally put me in a good, sustainable place.
i am a 44 year old fat Black american woman who found your channel a few months ago and have been here ever since. i’m not a runner or music student, just someone who wants to move on a regular basis and loves pilates reformer. not exactly sure what it is about your videos that resonate with me but i’ve enjoyed your humor, the editing of your videos and your friends you’ve shown here and there. now in this video you’ve touched on multiple things that really interest me so i’m looking forward to 2024 - mobility, dumbbells over barbell (i recently put down the barbell too and trying to be ok with dumbbells), swimming (i want to learn to swim next year) ironman (i have a good friend who has done them for years) and not being the best at finances (ME!!!!). glad i found you and here’s to more in 2024.
Ily 😘
Love this for you ❤
much love wishing you success in all your new endeavors!
🤗🤗🤗
🎉 if u happen to live near Richmond, VA, lmk. I’ll teach u to swim:)

Glad it did!! Loved the video!❤😊
I was like finally I can watch and you’ll see my comments!! Lol oh well

Does it burn your eyes? That's the issue I have with chemical sunscreens. I also prefer physical sunscreens or a mix.
This is my favorite video of yours in a longggg while. The challenges are fun but this is super engaging. Looking forward to your series next year ❤
This makes me want to cry happy tears THANK YOU ❤❤
I miss your vlog style videos. This was so fun to feel so connected to you. Excited for your half marathon bts!!
Reading this is music to my ears ❤
You could call it the "Own it, Keltie!" series. Like discovering, honouring and embracing what and who you are, keeping the things from challenges that truly resonate with you and letting go of what is not.
“Relaxing into my being” it’s a mantra I go by. Could be the name of your series as everything comes into alignment for you next year😊
All I can day is, whatever you make on here, I’m here for the long haul!!! You truly have been a beacon of light for me so many times.
You helped to reinforce how to form a better relationship with myself through healthier practices :)
I’m well on my way, and it’s been great having you here with me (even if we’ve never actually met lol)
I so love your balanced approach to fitness and food! And you definitely bring light into people’s days
❤
You making me get those good teary eyes ❤
Great video! You are such a joy to watch! I’m not in your target demographic I’m sure- late 40s, mom of teens- but I’m a runner and into fitness and you keep me up to date on new fitness trends and though you look like a supermodel you are so down to earth and just seem like such a nice person! So great to see a self-made young woman! Best of luck on your marathon training! I’ve done many and they are amazing!
Same demographic 🙋🏼♀️
Same here! Love it!
Me too except only one teen
Same!
How old is she? I thought 30s and 40s were her demographic
I love how honest and genuine you are. It's a treat for me to listen to you while I'm cooking dinner or driving into work. Your product recommendations are always a big hit for gifts for friends. I never would have stumbled upon some of them on my own, like the Drunk Elephant Marula Oil.

Yes second that! Dear my future self ❤
I love that you are obviously astute and aware but not a slave to clickable content. You DO bring light into our day ❤
Thank you for being amazing and inspiring! The transparency is so appreciated
Thank you so much ❤❤
Your hair is gorgeous. You have really worked hard at improving her hair health and it shows! I love your brown lulu onesie!
Thank you so much for being so open and honest. I’m so excited about your 2024 plans!! Ever since I started my TH-cam journey you have been a huge source of motivation to keep going and make this creator journey work. Big hug!
Thank you for listening Laura!! I'm so honoured I could be a part in your creative & youtuber journey in always :') ❤❤❤
You can call it "Keltie's Korner"! Then you can have all the vlogs, challenges, sit down videos, GRWM, etc. that you love to do! I also can relate with your basketball chat... I played NCAA D1 hockey and I miss the gameday hype.
ps. thank you so much for your videos, I found you when I was diagnosed with cancer at age 20 right after I moved across Canada (Ottawa to Victoria) and you have helped me get back into fitness and becoming well rounded with the 5 "S" types of workouts. THANK YOU!!
Keltie you’ve got me hooked on LMNT! Used your code a few months ago and now my boyfriend and I can’t get enough of it. I even make a hot chocolate with their regular chocolate flavor before putting on this video and am drinking it while watching. Can’t wait to try the new chocolate flavors!
You’re awesome and inspiring-thank you for doing what you do!!
IM SO HAPPY YOU ENJOY IT!!! I got my bf on it too hahah! It’s like we drank a cocoa together ☺️ the holiday flavours are divine! Enjoy them 🩵
i was a high school golfer and could have played in college. i even went to school for and worked in the golf business for 15 years. i hit the wall and haven't played in 8 years and have no desire to play again. love your videos and honesty!
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS KELTIE!! You inspire me to stay active and creative
Mobility is THE #1 important part of a workout! I made a huge mistake and dieted myself to obesity. I did everything wrong including the wrong kind of working out over the years destroying my skeletal muscular organ. Now between my weight and lack of muscle I am in so much pain it is not even funny! I can't even get things like cleaning my house done. Yesterday I started Physical Therapy, and we are working on getting my mobility back, helping me with stability, and flexibility, along with getting my weight off. I started really researching the subject and found out that building up your skeletal muscular system is not only important to mobility strength, and weight loss, but also for the prevention of Dementia in your older years.
You’ve gotta try some trail races, it doesn’t have to be an ultra, there are shorter distances. Trail racing is just a different vibe and I think you should give it a try. If nothing else the snacks are better during trail races! And probably some gorgeous trails around Vancouver!
Keltie I have watched you from the beginning and I have always loved your content! I will still watch it even if you switch over to more vlog style content - I think people burn themselves out so badly from trying to only stay in one niche of content. You inspire me so much & I love your vids! I feel like the general audience that watches this style of content probably also watches lifestyle and vlog content anyway!
Thank you SO MUCH HALLIE! This is so encouraging that I can make more content like this an level of creatively vs just more extreme challenges. Sending the biggest hug ❤
Bring on the vlogs!
Also, I started reading a book earlier this year... where author had the reader envision their "ideal self." And then she argued that we, all women, should completely abandon the goal of becoming her. BecUse humans are flawed, but it's in our flaws, in our pain, in our imperfections that we find common ground. That we learn empathy and build deep relationships with other people. If we were perfect, or our Ideal Self, we'd never have a need beyond ourselves - for God, for others - we'd be pretty self-sufficient. Now.... it might be a little extreme of a view, but I thought it was compelling. There is so much we can learn from choosing compassion for ourselves in our "mistakes" and in our shortcomings. And I think that you're someone who wants everyone to feel that they're loved and worthy, but don't always give yourself space for that. So just a little reminder that you don't have to be That Girl (cause really, who IS?) and you don't have to be ideal. Just keep being you.
Hey! What is the book's name?
@@camilabassotto2783It's "You Are the Girl for the Job" by Jess Connolly!
I've watched you for years and I think this is my favorite video you've done. I watch you for your content, yes, but also because I like YOU, so I would love more vlogs/sit-downs! (your personality is NOT a deterrent)
Thank you for this video and for always being so authentic
I appreciate the transparency in your videos! Especially about your finance troubles/ debt as that’s something I don’t see content creators talking about but it’s so normal to so many people. I would love to see a colab between you and Caleb hammer, he helps people create budgets to tackle debt.
Ahhh I can’t wait for your album girl ima be streaming the heck out of it💗💗
YOU MEAN THE WORLD TO ME ❤❤
I love your videos when you are just being yourself. No challenges, just you living your life, sharing your routines, and just your awesome humor. You are incredible ❤
For the series, it sounds like you want to 'discover your favorite/ultimate self' maybe the title should have something around that? You're ramping up for an incredible year either way!
Love this video and would absolutely be interested in more vlogs!
Some ideas for the series: "Discovering Keltie," "Becoming Keltie," "Finding Keltie," "The Essense of Me," "My dream self," or "This is Me." I personally love "Becoming Keltie." This is who you are. I love how much more personable it is when you use your name. We'll watch the videos and maybe be inspired and cheer you on, but this isn't who we believe yourselves to be. It's you. You're not showing us the best version of us; you're showing us you. And we're here for it. Another great video as always. Keep it up! I'm looking forward to the new series.
Love becoming and discovering
HIGHLY prefer the vlog style over challenge personally!!
I LOVE these kind of casual, informal catch-up videos. Please keep doing them :D
I love the idea of spending 2024 altogether becoming the best of ourselves. You said that it's like "becoming that girl" without the connotations that there's someone else we should become, my thought for a title is somewhere along the lines of "becoming us" or just "becoming" more like we are all with you on just being who we are more and more.
I am so excited for your 2024 series. Becoming Her sounds great. Your videos always help me do better without making me feel bad.
pleeease more of these types of videos!!!! the challenges are a lot of fun, but nothing beats your vlogs/ just talking kind of videos in my heart
To me the best sunscreen for POCs is the Scinic super mild sun essence. It doesnt leave a white cast is fairly cheap and doesnt smell like suncreen
STUNNING! Thank you! Will keep this in mind for recommendations in the future ❤
Studied ballet from when I was 5 until 17, in high-school I joined the track team and the cross country one after that, after years of struggles with an ed I had to prioritise recovery so I stopped running. About 18 months ago I started running again and fell in love all over. Feeling like myself again. In 2023 i went bcak to uni, studying biology with a profile in human nutrition!
My goals for 2024 are running a half-marathon and a 16k trail.
You are just the best! So inspiring ! You work so hard for your goals . You go after them with so much positivity and light and humor in spite of all the effort and discipline . Also you expressed the ‘not waiting for coffee in the morning ‘ sentiment perfectly! You are “that girl” in the most positive way ! Xo
Wow being called the positive "that girl" is the best compliment I never thought to receive! Thank you so much Ali! ❤
I really love watching your bubbly, authentic and funny personality in the videos. And girl, I am so much team "life is not making sense without this first morning coffee!"
I love these vlog style videos - as a video editor myself I like to see what edits you’ve done! 👍 hope we see more like this next year x
Thank you so much Mia ❤❤❤
I lived in NYC after college and played rec and summer leagues mostly with the same team for 8/9 years. it really depends on the city and offerings but looking back I’d take these years in rec over college ball anyday. I unlearned toxic thought patterns about my game, grew my game through the most capable ages 22-present day, and basically found love for it on my own after college gave me the beat down. Get out there girl! We out here training for the senior leagues!
Supergoop will burn your eyes if it’s anywhere near/above them- just a heads up! Epionce tinited sunscreen is fantastic and they just put out a darker tone. I can put it right up to my lashes with no burning. It stays in place for a long time, too. Elta MD is also excellent.
My big goals are to run my first marathon in May (praying for no injuries or illnesses) and to further my French learning streak to 2 years.
I found your channel about a month ago and I am obsessed!! Been watching constantly I think I’ve learned everything about the last 3 years of your life in a month 😂
Holy shittttttt!!!!! You put my question up and answered it!!!! Fuck yeah! Thankyou Keltie and I'm SO EXCITED for your album!
Very excited for your finance series! This is definitely a topic that’s not talked about enough
TH-cam being too excited for Keltie’s content and releasing the video early, yes please! 😮 The end of an Era is coming up, the Wellness Diaries series has been so amazing. Can’t wait to find out all about next year’s new content!
I’m having the best time watching your videos! A giggle inside, you seem soo bubbly and down to earth at the same time! Loved everything in this video, that grwm was so chaotic with the twisting and turning of the bottles and I just laughed so hard 😅 I can’t believe you’re not bigger, I hope 2024 gives you the attention you deserve!
i cannot believe how far your HAIR has come!!!!
You should just call it “becoming me” because we’re all a work in progress and life is a journey and I think we’re all just trying to become the best versions of ourselves so learning to enjoy the process of becoming your true self is imperative 😌
i love your vlogs! don’t be afraid to do them. i actually would love the grwm too!
My series name suggestion “Upgrade Me”, “Uplevel me”, or “upgrade you” like the Beyoncé song. Love your content. Excited for the financial info and content ideas for next year!
I enjoyed this content a lot❤ I think it’s nice to watch you talking about your personality, it’s reliable and just positive 😊
I feel like I've been trying to "better myself" since I was a child, and now I'm 35 and still on that path.
I like the idea of a "that girl" series and may do my own "that girl" challenge in the next year.
Somewhat related, here are a few books I've read that may fit into some of the topics you covered in the video:
- Profit First, by Mike Michalowicz (specifically money/business finance). I like the Kakeibo method for personal budgeting, but Profit First is great for business budgeting.
- Living Forward, by Michael Hyatt. Definitely fits into your next series, he talks about writing a life plan (think business plan, but for your life) and then setting annual goals based on this plan.
YOU GOT IT GIRL!!! love the level of authenticity you demonstrate here
Thank you so much ❤ Goal is always content I'm loving making and you love watching :)
I actually like your vlogs much more then your challenges- they feel more genuine 🙂
This may be a bit out of pocket since it's more content-specific with the 2024 programming than a specific name, but I think it would be really cool for you to have a "Thank you Past Keltie/Self" and "Dear Future Keltie/Self" segment as you execute your different challenges. Just highlighting why you decided that this challenge was something you wanted to do based on your past experiences and what you want to gain out of it. If you did go with this idea, you could title it, "Sincerely, Current Keltie/Self" It was really interesting to hear about your struggles with finances here so I'm very excited for those challenges next year. (Also as a former competitive swimmer who feels similar to how you feel about basketball, damn that's so relatable. I love it. It's got a special place in my life, but it can't be what it once was.)
These are some of my favorite videos! Loved getting to know you a little bit more.
Hey Keltie!
So glad to hear you are infusing self care and trying to balance your life by adding what you enjoy:) I totally relate.. Is it the year of Keltie? After decades of working 12 hour day and night shifts, taking care of my mother her and my home and my family, I have declared 2024 the year of me! I retired from my job, my mother passed and I am shifting my focus to what I need and want instead of what needs to be done.
There is some re adjustment required from the people around you, but eventually they will realize that the word no doesn't need to come with an explanation. Good luck with your musical pursuits. I look forward to hearing how it's going. As for your weekly downloads, Do them whenever it fits your schedule. You can't satisfy all of the people all of the time. And isn't it what is great about you tube? I can watch you whenever i want🤩
Really enjoyed how much was included in this video. Loved all the answers and your content is so good that I would love more vlogs.
it was so lovely too enjoy some catch up time with you keltie!! it feels so amazing too get to know you a little more! the girl behind the camera!! would love these regularly!!🥰🫶🏻
Live tinted sunscreen with no white caste! And it's brown woman owned. Can order online and they just started selling at sephora 😊
You really do bring light into my days, even if I'm not a typical fitness girly I always feel welcome on your channel and motivated to do the sports that make me happy!!
People hear that I used to play basketball for 11 years and then they asked when I last did hoops or what ever and I go with a straight face: "I haven't touched a basketball in 7 years and I don't really want to." Right after I quit, I didn't touch a ball for like 2-5 years. And you're right, it's not the same anymore but part of your brain hopes that you lost nothing with the years.
SO so excited for your half mari recap video!!! I've been getting into running (signed up for 4 races next year, my last one being a full marathon!) and you have just inspired me so much (also PS you would KILL an ironman or ultra. Whatever you decide to do, you really give it your all!! Xx)
I absolutely love your channel, love your personality, your content is so interesting, different from every other creator. I would love for you to post vlogs again. Honestly, it feels like Christmas when you post a new video. You are more than an influencer - I'd say an inspirator!
i love ur vlogs, keltie :) this is so comforting to watch when i’m alone and you are so reflective!
I love the fact that you have the same smile and energy when you talk about your boyfriend and your passion (DJ/Music/Art)! ♥
this was so fun to watch over a cup of coffee and oatmeal cookies :) maybe you can call your 2024 series "Making this Year Mine" or "The Year I Became Myself" or "Not Next Year, But This Year" idk some ideas haha. I know whatever you choose is gonna be amazing! You really inspired me to try new things this year! Saunas are now my favorite! Keep it up Keltie, and I cannot wait to see ALL of your new content to come!!
Love your content, Keltie! Looking forward to your plans for next year, especially swimming. :) Thanks for taking us along for the ride!
I like your vlogs! Your personality is the best part of your channel!
Love your bathroom: simple, tidy, streamlined: all you need and nothing you don't!
You're so fun! I really enjoyed this video girlie... thank you for being here on TH-cam for us 🙂🤗
Can’t wait for the workout clothes video. I am FREEZING on my way to the gym and climbing gym this year and could use some ideas!
Also, I love your vlogs! Keep them coming. 9:55
Hope you love it and the future vlogs!!
I would watch a vlog! I actually enjoy vlog style videos more than challenges, however if challenges is what you post, I still choose to watch because I do enjoy your personality! I think if people didn’t, they wouldn’t watch you at all vlog or challenge.
My dad has been telling me to try LMNT and I have seen you recommend it for like a year, so I just finally got the Box. I’m excited!
Former volleyball player and I’m totally with you on the former athlete thing. I’ve played a few times after college it always feels like there’s something missing. I still enjoying watching it but not playing.
thanks for answering my question about your dj mixes! congrats on the music production I look forward to listening to what you create :)
Suggestion for your 2024 series:
“One step closer to winning at life”
Idk it seems like you’re really chasing things that you’re not only passionate about but need to do (finances). So you’re chasing your passions and getting your shit together at the same time.
Oh just missed the kinda q & a with you. It just makes me feel so chill ❤
Music to my ears ❤❤❤
I liked this video, was interesting to hear you talk about your plans and what's going on in your personal life and sharing some financial stuff. Next year I want to run a trail ultra marathon and find a house of my dreams that is super close to nature. And continue getting strong!
I recommend Black Girl Sunscreen, and Trader Joe's sunscreen, which is a supergoop dupe.
Love how excited you are about your music & graduating soon !!!! You deserve that joy ! 🥰🥰🥰
Sooo, am I the only who just LOVES Keltie vlogs 🤔🤭?? Would definitely be here every weeks hihihi
I love this style of video and getting to know you better Keltie! It’s more fun to see how you conquer your personal challenges and goals! Plus you reminded me I am out of LMNT!
I would love to see a creator talk about finances that is admittedly not great with finances so I look forward to whatever you work on for that next year.
I am not a New Year's resolutions person but in general I'm really trying to build a basic exercise routine into my day on the days of the week that I don't climb.
I haven’t seen you in a while and it’s so great to see you back on here! I agree with you, mobility is more important to me, so I did the stretching exercises at the beginning, and may focus on those more than the rest of my workout. I hope you are getting enough protein. You are looking very very thin. I don’t mean this in a bad way… I was you! And then I started to get bone fractures.much love from sunny Florida !
I would looooove some honest finance vids in 2024! As a person who has also struggled with money in the past and not having good habits I think it would be great to see finance content from a non-financial TH-camr. Ive watched all the people who are good with money and now I want to hear what works and what doesn't from somebody who has ups and downs with money and for whom being financial isn't a big part of their personality. Ideally I would love an honest breakdown of what you make and what you spend and what methods you employ for budgeting, sticking to a budget and your future financial goals.
I always look forward to watching your videos! You’ve been giving my the inspiration to start my own channel!
Yes, please make more get ready with me videos
Dayuuuuuum that bed looks so comfy
This was great! I like your challenges too, but I agree intermixing some of this kind of content is really nice. Random recommendation for your financial journey/budgeting thing -- I really like YNAB. It's a budget using money you already have rather than trying to predict spending and it's been the first budget thing that's actually worked for me. I've tried things like Mint, etc, but YNAB is the one I've now been using for like 5 years now. It finally put me in a good, sustainable place.
