You know what I love about your vlogs? You show the “behind the scenes” realness of life. Even though your videos are done very well it’s just so cool to see that you are a person that is willing to show that we all are more alike than we think in the everyday struggle. I’m glad you celebrate it instead of hide it away. 💖
I loved the chaotic but funny energy in this vlog mixed with productivity. Thanks Kalyn! This totally kickstarted my mood for the day. Things I like to do to reset include cleaning, going into nature, dancing it out and writing diary. Wishing everyone a good day!
“Exxxxpaaaannnnddddd,” 😂 what a mood. As far as resetting goes I’m the same way, I feel 10x more stressed out when there’s a lot going on AND my house, planning, etc. is also a mess. When I need a reset I will clean the house, light some candles, take a bath, journal, pray, maybe some video games or movies and then I can think about all the tasks I need to tackle in the upcoming week.
Am I the only one who can not concentrate/deal when my house is messy. Like on the weekends I feel like I need to do a super clean before I can relax. What's up with that? Lol
Omg I thought I was the only one! My husband just hops right on the couch and I'm like why..??? I was just getting ready to clean so get off the couch lol we have four animals so we have couch cover things that always need adjusting like the cushions.
Saaaaame. I feel like I clean all day and still my home is always messy and dirty hoooow 😂 I guess for people that don't care as much for property it doesn't really matter wether the house is kind of dirty or dirty. But for us the difference between hella clean and just a bit messy is toooo daaaaamn different, I can't stand it! But I still do it because it helps me feel at peace and satisfied when it's clean, so never mind I'mma just clean all the time for the rest of my life haha
You could upload the TS flow without audio and just tell us what songs we need in what order and we could play them ourselves?? I’d do anything to get the combo of Taylor & yoga 😂
i absolutely love that u called the disadvantages/annoying ass stuff that happened “hiccups”. ive never heard it before (im european tho that might be why) but that makes them sound so cute and small and kind of easier to deal with!! truly something i’ll use in the future
Anyone else reminded to work on laundry when Kalyn does? Just me? Cool. 🤣 Kalyn, it was such a blessing to see you live on Sunday. I can’t wait to upgrade my membership so I can follow your flows eventually. Thanks for always being so encouraging and kind and such a great example of “expansion.” 🌻🖤
To reset my mind I drop everything and go on a hike, but to reset after months of work, stress, people issues etc I drop everything and drive to Montana by myself :) Thanks for showing us the good AND the bad Kalyn. It'll all be okay and you're such an inspiration
Love the stars on your cheeks! For some reason made me think, “Yes! We present ourselves for ourselves. Screw other people’s expectations. Do what brings you joy.”
Really love how honest this video is. The "human" stuff is so important when the vlogs themselves are so aesthetically pleasing! But also...what happened with the card?!?! hahah PS: Great live on Sunday! :)
Thank you for showing how real life can get. We see so many people on TH-cam making it seem like they never deal with stress, anxiety or life in general because happiness is only portrayed so you never think they go through things like everyone else. I definitely relate to the beginning of this video especially with my job which gives me nothing but anxiety. Life gets the best of us at times, and we just have to take a breath and pray.
Loooooove how real and honest you are, it's so nice that when i start watching video i felt like IT'S OKAY, YOU'RE NOT ALONE Sending big thankfull hug 🌷
I always watch Kayln to get my life on track and give me motivation to see her not finish all her tasks and do self care to cope really made an impact on me to not be so hard on myself thank you for always keeping it real ❤️
hot diggity damn, kalyn is back! i haven't left your side through all these years, and have witnessed your rough patches (as a fellow human, i've been there, too), and now here you are -- SO confident, at ease, silly/goofy, and very real and down-to-earth. i smile and tear up a little watching you be your very happy self. kudos, kalyn, and thanks for not giving up on the weirdness of youtube. you're a true rock star, and you make BIG difference to many.
I have often found myself comparing my life to people online and I LOVE your videos. In the past I have been like oh if you could just get your life together like Kalyn, you’d be doing good. And this vlog was a revelation. Thank you for showing the bad parts of your week and the times you’ve cried over the past year. It makes me feel human and normal.
I’m here for this version of you that Is rolling with the punches. I’ve been watching you since 2017 and wow. The growth is insane. Seriously. watching your most recent story time, I went back and watched older videos and I could totally see how hard things were for you then. Back then it wasn’t noticeable. And now you’ve grown into this beautiful flower and have blossomed into someone who is taking back control and I love to see it!!!
Loving this week's vlog!! What I like to do to reset is to 1. Take a deep breath 2. Get up and Stretch 3. Switch my Vibe (asses what I need in the moment, either physically or emotionally) 4. Go from there 💜
I like this real, vulnerable,sometimes 'tough' vlogs in a sense of showing honest life stuff. People are sometimes fool by the thought that laundry can be done like in this 'expectation' sequence, but we are not robots,we are humans. End of story 🤣❤ Love you lots!
Loving the real life vlogs!!! I’ve been following you for YEARS AND YEARS and I just love seeing how you’ve grown and how you’re killing it at life ❤️I feel like we are besties❤️
First comment in 4 years of following you: I LOVE this video! I'm so happy to see you gysting like a pro AND being a human at the same time. Now that's inspiration right there! Thank you ❤
I love how raw this is, makes me relate to you a lot and helps me feel more okay about it not always being butterflies and rainbows 🤍 thank you for this
Your videos always seem to brighten up my days. Especially since life has been so crazy, stressful and anxious for me lately. Keep bringing me that sunshine I need. Positive Vibes!!
Dude, loved the human aspect of everything. This is one of the reasons why I've been following you for so long. Thanks for being real. Love to you from San Francisco!
Kalyn, I've been following your channel for about 6 years now, but somehow I never got to tell you what you mean to me. In these 6 years, I moved countries, met the love of my life, built a career, and made one of my biggest dreams come true - and I have always been watching your vlogs in the meantime, so it really feels like you're part of my life now, after so many years :) It makes me happy to see you in such a good place now, mentally and spiritually. I'll probs never have my shit together the way you do, but just know that you are an inspiration and you give me peace of mind. Thank you xx
In a World of full scripted vlogs and everything yours are authenticity and truly relatable so keep going, i watched 4 times already and it's gives me vibes all the way everyday
As satisfying as it is to watch you do all these mundane things in fast motion , I LOVE that you've included the quiet, slow reality clips of it and the time it took you to do everything. I put so much pressure on myself to live my life like one of these sped-up vlogs but it's just not that aesthetic and satisfying in real life haha. Anyway, I appreciate you including both the reality clips and the aesthetic shots too. Love your videos, they inspire me so much x
This was one of your funniest vlogs! I can't really explain why, but it feels like as you got older and grew, you're more able to take yourself less seriously and take things a bit more light heartedly. I lolled at the 8:12 'expand' bit. So funny. It's also good for us to see you struggling, not that we like seeing things go bad for you, but it makes you more relatable and 'reel'. I also think that for younger people that look up to you it's helpful to see how you deal with mishaps or setbacks. So thank you very much for this vlog and I hope you can enjoy your beautiful house after the spring clean. Love from a PhD student in Japan!
It's so hard to feel our emotions without becoming them sometimes, but you're doing marvelously! Thank you for letting us see this more vulnerable side of yourself. It's truly an honor to watch your journey and growth. Love you to infinity and beyond, Kalyn!
i wanted to say that Kalyn you have always made me feel that "i am not the one " who is going through this things and whenever i felt like no one understood me you were there like a friend miles away making me feel like i am not alone and it is normal so i wanted to thank you for being my friend❤️
I didn't realize how much I would need this. I woke up super cranky and annoyed at the world, my bf, and overwhelmed with my to do's for the day. I am so happy I allowed myself to take the time to watch this morning and not feel so alone. Thanks for being so real Kalyn!!
I've been watching your videos for a couple months now and I just wanted to say that I love your work so much. The honest way that you vlog, your perspective, and your deep chats have all been so calming and encouraging to me during some difficult weeks and I just really appreciate everything you do.
I really like that your spring GYST is in parts because it fits with Spring being a season, not a day or a week :) -(just like the leaves on the trees, I'm enjoying seeing them a bit different every day! From being a bud, to a leaf and that doesn't happen in one day either :) ) your videos have helped me to see the good in cleaning etc because it's something I struggle with in terms of motivation and self care and I really don't like it!! But I've started meal prepping and am LOVING it and have also been just doing one tiny part of my home every Thursday and giving it a proper clean and re-organization, rather than doing a huge day of cleaning lots in one go, and I'm really enjoying that! :) thank you, I've loved your videos for years, you have helped me more than you will ever know :D
Relate! Had a frazzling two days starting a new placement and project, in the middle of a busy part of the college semester! Had a headache for both those days but I took time to get organised and take care of myself this evening and feel way better 🥰
somehow u always take away a bit off my anxiety, thank u for that and thank u for sharing content of a normal human life. makes me feel better about myself :)
I'm really hard on myself when I fail at keeping my home clean or when I miss the mark on grooming habits. Thank you for posting the bit about washing your bathroom and having to shave your legs, haha. You come across as extremely clean, tidy, and put together and it's comforting to know that even you have your human moments. When you mentioned these things, I just wanted to give you a hug. I hope you are not being hard on yourself, because I know how that feels and it's not productive. Anyway, when I saw those parts of the video, there was no judgment only compassion, and it reminded me that I need to approach myself that way too. Sometimes I forget to be nice to myself. Thank you for the reminder! ❤️
1. I just shaved my legs for the first time since January, so I feel you girl 2. Honestly I LOVE your gyst videos and would love 6 more spring cleans-they’re relaxing and motivating, and it feels like I could be FaceTiming a friend to clean together Love you, and I hope this week has far fewer hiccups 💚
Omg I needed this video, I've had a couple of spaced out rough weeks. Thanks for showing us that not every thing goes as aesthetically pleasing as we'd want and shit happens. Even when we have goals and things to do.
Watching this vlog while doing laundry and chillin’. 🙌 Your content is so lovely, messy house cleaning outfit and all! Rock the realistic content, we love it.
I've lost track of the years I've been following you! Thank you for always producing AMAZING content! It's spring here in Australia so I binging this series 🤍
Your “idgaf” attitude is so funny!!! And inspirational!! Like a million and 1 things can be going wrong but I feel good , I’m okay it’s super optimistic!!
Kalyn thank you for being real about the DUMPSTER FIRE that is life sometimes! I’ve had a hard week too and it was so refreshing to turn this vlog on to celebrate the highs of life with you, but also feel solidarity in some of the lows!!😂 love you girl ❤️
Oh Kalyn Kalyn Kalyn ❤❤❤ You have no idea how happy and calm I am right now. It is almost midnight in India and I had very rough day plus did not have my dinner which was so upsetting that made me cranky. I made a meal for myself and just checked TH-cam and saw your new video. I'm so calm emotionally after seeing your video (by the way I always get so relaxed after watching your GYST videos) Bless your soul for making me so happy after being so sad and crwnky because of the hectic day I had. Warmest love and hugs from India.❣️
Laundry tip, fold items like pants and some shirts as you take them out of the dryer. When you take the rest to your room to fold it feels less overwhelming because it's half way done. And I love what you said about not taking setbacks personally or letting it be a sign.
When Kalyn was watering her plants in the office and got some water on her phone/lap top 😂 I did the same exact thing today hahaha. Love you so so much Kalyn!
Thank you Kalyn! This spoke to my soul. I totally feel you with all the little hiccups in life adding up and feeling like a ton of bricks. But I know it all gets better and I am sure you know that too. Thank you for being real with us and giving us great content anyways. ❤️
Honestly, sometimes it freaks me out how on point & relatable your videos are to exactly whats going on in my life at that current moment I see the video. This week has been rouuugghhhh. Everywhere I look is a mess, every thought I have seems messy. Feeling like I can't escape it lately. So thank you for reminding me that even those I look up to struggle sometimes too & it doesn't make me less than. Our thoughts, feelings, & overwhelm are valid and OKAY! 💛💖
YES! thank you for sharing the realness of how it can feel when little things (or big things) just keep stalling the progress you've intended to make in your day/week/life. I've heard of the idea of expansion before and love that you're sharing it here! This vid was inspiring, relatable, and FUN! Also that outdoor sectional is cuuuute!!! Can't wait to see what else you do with that insanely gorgeous backyard of yours! Love from NYC and my tiny (but wonderful) 3x9 balcony. ;) xo
I love your GYSTing series. I tend to majorly overthink which fucks with my anxiety so i do dishes or clean/tidy/declutter some other part of my house to calm myself. or another thing i do to reset is delcutter and organise my computer files. i love to declutter and organise. not so much a fan of cleaning even though i love watching cleaning videos and it is very satisfying going from a dirty house to a clean house. also loved the real human moments (made me laugh cos it's so relatable)
I appreciate this video so much! It was so real, not that your videos aren't real , but I could really relate to you and the adult life challenges you dealt with this week. Shits happens, and things don't always go as planned... a lot of the time. My house is not always the cleanest. Sometimes the rolling tumbleweeds of black dog hair scare the bejesus out of me at night because they look like small critters. My bathroom sink stays clean for two- three days max. We can only do what we can do. So thanks for showing us the good and the not so good times.
You always inspire me! I had such a rough week and i felt so related seeing your video. I felt conforted by seeing your human moments and knowing I wasn't the only one. I felt normal. Thanks for your videos
Omg that "expand" definition made my year 😂. At the begining of the year I decided to make my moto the word "expand". The other day I saw it written down in my planner and was like "hey that's curious, I wonder why I chose that word (because I couldn't remember! 😅)" so I wrote on my journal about it, and came to the conclusion it was more about expanding on my life plans and personal projects, and didn't even think about it this way. And to be honest last year I was super lucky with the lock down, and the whole covid situation and it didn't hit me so much... but this year...it all has been though, and my mental health and marriage have taken the hit HARD. I am really ocd about certain things and get really frutrated with things not being organized or the way I planned. For the first time ever I had an anxiety attack (I think) and have been suffering with depressive thoughs more frequently. And though I still need to search for a mental health professional, this new meaning to my yearly moto, will become my life jacket when I feel like drowning. So, thank you so much!!! ❤❤❤
definitely love to clean my environment, but more so clean my body and then paint my face with makeup (dont wear make up most days, so when I do - normally sundays - I feel new and sparkly lol). thanks for always being real with us and sharing that metaphor with the salt & water! I always remind myself: low expectations, happy life :)
Thank you for this I had lots of small little problems too last week and clearly I wasn’t the only one Love your blog, just like always and the gyst vibe is truly needed today Love from France 🥰
I’ve been watching your vids for years now and I’m still just as inspired. ✨Thank you for showing human things. Thank you for still being here. My fiancé and I just bought our first house at the end of 2020 and I can’t relate more to all your house probs. These are the good parts of adulting.. making us stronger and smarter. Sending all the good vibes 💖
Love watching you face challenges and change your perspective. Also loving your spring cleaning series ✨ so satisfying & it’s giving me so many ideas and motivation for my own spring cleaning 🖤

Kalyn, thank you for this video! 🙏 It's exactly what I needed to watch ❤ And I love your patio furniture!
That laundry expectation vs reality bit sent me. 😂😁🙌
Where is your patio furniture from? A patio coffee table that can become a dining table is something I need in my life.
That expaaand was jus a mood
Lol the last - e x p a n d - with the edit had me cackling. TH-cam really be like that sometimes 😂
Lmao me too. E x p a n d !
Anyone else watches Kalyns vlogs like 10 times....like it’s always on......???? Haha
Alwaysssss...she's such a vibe
wow I love that 😆
YES! The old ones too;
Yes yes yessss
this is a mood!!
I'm here for the 6 part cleaning series 😉
check back next week for part 3 haha 🤪
Girl I think it’s time for a full sized vacuum with this new home!!
You know what I love about your vlogs? You show the “behind the scenes” realness of life.

love the humour and the mood in this vlog so much😁 “my leg hair could be braided” lol
6 part cleaning routine? Yes, please. Watching you clean is the exact thing I need to get inspired to tackle my messy home. 💃🌸
Am I the only one who can not concentrate/deal when my house is messy. Like on the weekends I feel like I need to do a super clean before I can relax. What's up with that? Lol
I'm with you on that!!
Omg I thought I was the only one! My husband just hops right on the couch and I'm like why..??? I was just getting ready to clean so get off the couch lol we have four animals so we have couch cover things that always need adjusting like the cushions.
SAME and then I waste half my weekend cleaning 🙄
My bedroom is a bit messy rn and I’m 🙃 so AGH! I have to clean and organize everything again 😅
Saaaaame. I feel like I clean all day and still my home is always messy and dirty hoooow 😂
I guess for people that don't care as much for property it doesn't really matter wether the house is kind of dirty or dirty. But for us the difference between hella clean and just a bit messy is toooo daaaaamn different, I can't stand it!

You could upload the TS flow without audio and just tell us what songs we need in what order and we could play them ourselves?? I’d do anything to get the combo of Taylor & yoga 😂
Lol YESSS!
YES!
that's precisely what I shall do! It'll be posted to All Things Koze on Friday for anyone to flow to ✨
@@KalynNicholson yay! 🙌🏻💕
I second this suggestion 😍 I saw some TH-camrs do this to avoid getting videos blocked
Ok this was SUCH a good video! Died at the folding laundry expectation vs. reality, but also just loved how real you were through the whole thing!!!
i absolutely love that u called the disadvantages/annoying ass stuff that happened “hiccups”. ive never heard it before (im european tho that might be why) but that makes them sound so cute and small and kind of easier to deal with!! truly something i’ll use in the future
We say it all the time in Canada ❤️
I love cleaning when I need to reset. It allows me to just put the frustration out somewhere else. LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!!
Anyone else reminded to work on laundry when Kalyn does? Just me? Cool. 🤣
Kalyn, it was such a blessing to see you live on Sunday. I can’t wait to upgrade my membership so I can follow your flows eventually. Thanks for always being so encouraging and kind and such a great example of “expansion.” 🌻🖤
To reset my mind I drop everything and go on a hike,
but to reset after months of work, stress, people issues etc I drop everything and drive to Montana by myself :)
Thanks for showing us the good AND the bad Kalyn. It'll all be okay and you're such an inspiration
Love the stars on your cheeks! For some reason made me think, “Yes! We present ourselves for ourselves. Screw other people’s expectations. Do what brings you joy.”
THE BABY ROBINS 😭🖤 sorry you had a tough week, SO thankful for all this awesome content!
aren't they so sweet!! Will keep including clips of them when I can
Hun drop the patio furniture for us! I LOVE IT!! Been looking for some for the cottage, you have such amazing taste. 💜
Really love how honest this video is. The "human" stuff is so important when the vlogs themselves are so aesthetically pleasing! But also...what happened with the card?!?! hahah
PS: Great live on Sunday! :)
hahaha he liked it very much. I can be 5000% vulnerable online but in person ... oooof- 🤪 also thank you so glad you could join!
@@KalynNicholson yay!!! I am so happy it worked out the way you wanted it to!
Oh, and totally relate to that vulnerability thing :)
Really enjoyed the little peeks of you just being a human. Makes me realize that everyone is human and everyone has those days.
We are so BLESSED with so many videos being posted! 💗💓
Thank you for showing how real life can get. We see so many people on TH-cam making it seem like they never deal with stress, anxiety or life in general because happiness is only portrayed so you never think they go through things like everyone else. I definitely relate to the beginning of this video especially with my job which gives me nothing but anxiety. Life gets the best of us at times, and we just have to take a breath and pray.
The EXPAND with the editing was 👌
Love this! Its SO nice to see a youtuber/influencer be an actual HUMAN being on camera! Thank you ❤
Yesss. Here for this right now 💅🏻
Loooooove how real and honest you are, it's so nice that when i start watching video i felt like IT'S OKAY, YOU'RE NOT ALONE
Sending big thankfull hug 🌷
Definitely dont be embarrassed by your laundry. You've got this. Love that you share your life with us. Your growth is inspirational. Love ya Kayln
I always watch Kayln to get my life on track and give me motivation to see her not finish all her tasks and do self care to cope really made an impact on me to not be so hard on myself thank you for always keeping it real ❤️
The best way to start of my day and go on with this crazy week ahead! ✨ hope everybody is doing great! 🌙🤍

the cramps and overwhelm moment, ugh, too real...
I love how raw this is, makes me relate to you a lot and helps me feel more okay about it not always being butterflies and rainbows 🤍 thank you for this
Your videos always seem to brighten up my days. Especially since life has been so crazy, stressful and anxious for me lately. Keep bringing me that sunshine I need. Positive Vibes!!
You are a real gem. This is all I'm gonna say. Thank you for being you!

Oh man I love how freakin’ authentic this vlog was and seeing I am not alone and we’re all just hoomans trying to fly through adulthood. Thank you 🙌🏼
I love how you are showing your raw emotions and thoughts in this video!
In a World of full scripted vlogs and everything yours are authenticity and truly relatable so keep going, i watched 4 times already and it's gives me vibes all the way everyday

I feel you girl! I love love love the idea of expanding to include the hiccups life throws our way. ✌
I appreciate the reality portions of these videos, so much.
i wanted to say that Kalyn you have always made me feel that "i am not the one " who is going through this things and whenever i felt like no one understood me you were there like a friend miles away making me feel like i am not alone and it is normal so i wanted to thank you for being my friend❤️
Yes! Just finished the first one. Ah I need this so much todo and so little motivation
I didn't realize how much I would need this. I woke up super cranky and annoyed at the world, my bf, and overwhelmed with my to do's for the day. I am so happy I allowed myself to take the time to watch this morning and not feel so alone. Thanks for being so real Kalyn!!
I've been watching your videos for a couple months now and I just wanted to say that I love your work so much. The honest way that you vlog, your perspective, and your deep chats have all been so calming and encouraging to me during some difficult weeks and I just really appreciate everything you do.

your videos have helped me to see the good in cleaning etc because it's something I struggle with in terms of motivation and self care and I really don't like it!! But I've started meal prepping and am LOVING it and have also been just doing one tiny part of my home every Thursday and giving it a proper clean and re-organization, rather than doing a huge day of cleaning lots in one go, and I'm really enjoying that! :) thank you, I've loved your videos for years, you have helped me more than you will ever know :D
also love when you show things that don't go to plan! And make humour of it :D
Your lifestyle makes me feel like everything is possible… thank you for that❤️
Love the expand metaphor....plan to try it when the little things feel like the big things. Loving these vlogs!!!
Relate! Had a frazzling two days starting a new placement and project, in the middle of a busy part of the college semester! Had a headache for both those days but I took time to get organised and take care of myself this evening and feel way better 🥰
Thanks for being so open about the human moments.
It really helps. Hi from Germany
somehow u always take away a bit off my anxiety, thank u for that and thank u for sharing content of a normal human life. makes me feel better about myself :)
I'm really hard on myself when I fail at keeping my home clean or when I miss the mark on grooming habits. Thank you for posting the bit about washing your bathroom and having to shave your legs, haha. You come across as extremely clean, tidy, and put together and it's comforting to know that even you have your human moments. When you mentioned these things, I just wanted to give you a hug. I hope you are not being hard on yourself, because I know how that feels and it's not productive. Anyway, when I saw those parts of the video, there was no judgment only compassion, and it reminded me that I need to approach myself that way too. Sometimes I forget to be nice to myself. Thank you for the reminder! ❤️
1. I just shaved my legs for the first time since January, so I feel you girl
2. Honestly I LOVE your gyst videos and would love 6 more spring cleans-they’re relaxing and motivating, and it feels like I could be FaceTiming a friend to clean together
Love you, and I hope this week has far fewer hiccups 💚
Omg I needed this video, I've had a couple of spaced out rough weeks. Thanks for showing us that not every thing goes as aesthetically pleasing as we'd want and shit happens. Even when we have goals and things to do.
Definitely going to take the ~expanding~ tip with me this week. 💐
Love love LOVING these recently Kalyn!! Look forward to them each week. You've grown so much and have really found yourself it's so lovely to see ❤️✨
Watching this vlog while doing laundry and chillin’. 🙌 Your content is so lovely, messy house cleaning outfit and all! Rock the realistic content, we love it.
I’be been watching this before I get to work while I eat breakfast and it just fills me with lots of energy. Thank you, Kalyn✨
I've lost track of the years I've been following you! Thank you for always producing AMAZING content! It's spring here in Australia so I binging this series 🤍
Your “idgaf” attitude is so funny!!! And inspirational!! Like a million and 1 things can be going wrong but I feel good , I’m okay it’s super optimistic!!
Kalyn thank you for being real about the DUMPSTER FIRE that is life sometimes! I’ve had a hard week too and it was so refreshing to turn this vlog on to celebrate the highs of life with you, but also feel solidarity in some of the lows!!😂 love you girl ❤️
The editing on this video is so extremely on point, so satisfying🥺😍
Totally loving the small reality moments and adult life glimpses
Oh Kalyn Kalyn Kalyn ❤❤❤
You have no idea how happy and calm I am right now. It is almost midnight in India and I had very rough day plus did not have my dinner which was so upsetting that made me cranky. I made a meal for myself and just checked TH-cam and saw your new video. I'm so calm emotionally after seeing your video (by the way I always get so relaxed after watching your GYST videos)
Bless your soul for making me so happy after being so sad and crwnky because of the hectic day I had.
Warmest love and hugs from India.❣️
Laundry tip, fold items like pants and some shirts as you take them out of the dryer. When you take the rest to your room to fold it feels less overwhelming because it's half way done. And I love what you said about not taking setbacks personally or letting it be a sign.
Honestly, seeing how you got over your challenges is so refreshing
living for all the GYST motivation 😊
When Kalyn was watering her plants in the office and got some water on her phone/lap top 😂 I did the same exact thing today hahaha. Love you so so much Kalyn!
Thank you Kalyn! This spoke to my soul. I totally feel you with all the little hiccups in life adding up and feeling like a ton of bricks. But I know it all gets better and I am sure you know that too. Thank you for being real with us and giving us great content anyways. ❤️
Honestly, sometimes it freaks me out how on point & relatable your videos are to exactly whats going on in my life at that current moment I see the video. This week has been rouuugghhhh. Everywhere I look is a mess, every thought I have seems messy. Feeling like I can't escape it lately. So thank you for reminding me that even those I look up to struggle sometimes too & it doesn't make me less than. Our thoughts, feelings, & overwhelm are valid and OKAY! 💛💖
Your pep talk at the end of this video btw after folding laundry has me crying. 🥺
YES! thank you for sharing the realness of how it can feel when little things (or big things) just keep stalling the progress you've intended to make in your day/week/life. I've heard of the idea of expansion before and love that you're sharing it here! This vid was inspiring, relatable, and FUN! Also that outdoor sectional is cuuuute!!! Can't wait to see what else you do with that insanely gorgeous backyard of yours! Love from NYC and my tiny (but wonderful) 3x9 balcony. ;) xo
I love that you are composting! If it starts to make your drawers or kitchen smell, I've found it works well to put it in the freezer :)
I love your GYSTing series. I tend to majorly overthink which fucks with my anxiety so i do dishes or clean/tidy/declutter some other part of my house to calm myself. or another thing i do to reset is delcutter and organise my computer files. i love to declutter and organise. not so much a fan of cleaning even though i love watching cleaning videos and it is very satisfying going from a dirty house to a clean house. also loved the real human moments (made me laugh cos it's so relatable)
I appreciate this video so much! It was so real, not that your videos aren't real , but I could really relate to you and the adult life challenges you dealt with this week. Shits happens, and things don't always go as planned... a lot of the time. My house is not always the cleanest. Sometimes the rolling tumbleweeds of black dog hair scare the bejesus out of me at night because they look like small critters. My bathroom sink stays clean for two- three days max. We can only do what we can do. So thanks for showing us the good and the not so good times.
You turning it into a 6pt is such a mood 😂😂because same asf I take forever to do a full cleaning sometimes I usually break it up into daily tasks
You always inspire me! I had such a rough week and i felt so related seeing your video. I felt conforted by seeing your human moments and knowing I wasn't the only one. I felt normal. Thanks for your videos
Omg that "expand" definition made my year 😂. At the begining of the year I decided to make my moto the word "expand". The other day I saw it written down in my planner and was like "hey that's curious, I wonder why I chose that word (because I couldn't remember! 😅)" so I wrote on my journal about it, and came to the conclusion it was more about expanding on my life plans and personal projects, and didn't even think about it this way. And to be honest last year I was super lucky with the lock down, and the whole covid situation and it didn't hit me so much... but this year...it all has been though, and my mental health and marriage have taken the hit HARD. I am really ocd about certain things and get really frutrated with things not being organized or the way I planned. For the first time ever I had an anxiety attack (I think) and have been suffering with depressive thoughs more frequently. And though I still need to search for a mental health professional, this new meaning to my yearly moto, will become my life jacket when I feel like drowning. So, thank you so much!!! ❤❤❤
definitely love to clean my environment, but more so clean my body and then paint my face with makeup (dont wear make up most days, so when I do - normally sundays - I feel new and sparkly lol). thanks for always being real with us and sharing that metaphor with the salt & water! I always remind myself: low expectations, happy life :)
Thank you for this
I had lots of small little problems too last week and clearly I wasn’t the only one
Love your blog, just like always and the gyst vibe is truly needed today
Love from France 🥰
I love how we can see you evolving and growing as a human being :)) It's really motivating and I look up to you! Thank you for sharing your life
This really came at such a great time !! The month is coming to an end time to reset ✨💕
I’ve been watching your vids for years now and I’m still just as inspired. ✨Thank you for showing human things. Thank you for still being here. My fiancé and I just bought our first house at the end of 2020 and I can’t relate more to all your house probs. These are the good parts of adulting.. making us stronger and smarter. Sending all the good vibes 💖
You're always SO inspiring. Your videos give me a deep peace. Thank you Kalyn!
to reset, i like to clean and catch up on all of the missing work that i haven’t gotten done. btw, love the video!
Girl I missed you so much. It was hard seeing the struggle but I’m glad we made it
Love watching you face challenges and change your perspective. Also loving your spring cleaning series ✨ so satisfying & it’s giving me so many ideas and motivation for my own spring cleaning 🖤
