This is the kind of authenticity and mindset I have always looked for in the context of beauty and wellness on TH-cam. I'm very conscious about the kind of content I consume and so I initially completely gave up watching beauty related videos on here (even though it's my jam) because it was always very shallow and did not align with my beliefs. I'm so glad I finally found a beauty channel I can fully enjoy watching!
Fully echo this sentiment! Diana is a breath of fresh air. I got so tired of the sameness of fashion channels that I ditched them all. Too much consumerism, or boring minimalism, or just the cheapest fast fashion! I want style, not trends! I mean, who else will help me become my inner librarian dominatrix using thrifted items?!? 😉😂
@@unblahyourself Hiya Diana ... (from the shoreline of the Salish Sea, B.C. Pac. Northwest) I am bad about not leaving comments for all these past months, but I smash the like button on all vids and ensure to run your short vids too. I remember being one that subscribed at around 10,000 and you have flown to over 30,000 now --congrats. So very genuine and *real*
I have a friend who is homely at best according to classical beauty standards, but she is one of the most beautiful people I know. She has a great sense of style, but more importantly, she is genuinely interested in the people around her, a great listener, and truly kind. When you spend time with her you feel seen and appreciated. What can be more attractive than that? When I first met her, I thought ugly. Now when I see her, I see beauty.
My mom ad a friend like that… she has passed on now… but I remember how beautiful she was to me. And how beautiful she made me feel bc she always radiated the purest love. To this day if anyone asks me who the most beautiful woman I ever saw/know is… I say Mrs. Myers, I tell them that i could not do justice describing her beauty but that it was almost other worldly like a living angel.
Diana, my eye is always drawn to beauty, and every time I see a beautiful woman, I tell her how lovely she is. One time, I was in a restaurant, and I could not take my eyes off the most elegant woman I have ever seen. At the end of my meal, I stopped by her table to tell her how elegant she was. She was over 80 years old, and she looked absolutely stunning! So don't let anyone tell you that beauty fades. It can evolve if you make the effort.
I have never seen a happy person that didn’t exude beauty … happiness is the most transformative plastic surgery I have ever seen … and no side effects 🥰
I love how very politely you comment on the vacuousness of modern "beauty trends". To paraphrase you" You're the most genuine thing I've seen on youtube in a long while!"
I am so glad I found your channel. Thanks! I once listened to a talk where the woman said that one of the best days of her life was when her little granddaughter sat on her lap and patted her cheek, and said, "I love you, Grandma, you have such pretty patterns on your face."
I know you talk about French girl style but your humour is actually quite British. ...you make me laugh while talking absolute sense, you are a star. 'I can't even fly' ....😅 ...'plastic surgery - If you want your art to cost a lot of money and be painful' 🤣 I love your 5 ways of being pretty. I was running through Wimbledon recently and stopped at a road crossing. Sweating, wearing lycra, hair all over the place, not a good look for a 56 yo woman. The lady next to me and said wow, what's that perfume you're wearing, it smells lovely. I was, frankly, aghast. So even when you don't necessarily see yourself as put together you can still seem so to others. I felt pretty all the way home 🙂 Finally, active kindness and generosity...this is gold dust. Keep doing what you do Diana its wonderful
😉That's a great moment. I remember a time when clothes shopping🛍 w/my beloved mom🥰 in the 90s. 😖Was admittedly a somewhat spoiled 20something, sulking dramatically over our incredibly long line & slow register after a long day. Not saying much in a royal blue trouser suit, but speaking volumes w/my silent eye rolls & silly expressions to entertain her. 👠My discomfort in high heels coupled w/growing impatience inspired me to be more theatrical. Moved to a wide stance w/my hands firmly planted on my hips. Moments later this gentleman came over from across the floor & said to her: "Your daughter looks like ★Wonder Woman★... about to twirl & go off to fight some crime." 😊We all had a good laugh. Lovely to be likened to the beautiful 📺 Lynda Carter, but embarrassing😳 to be caught out by a complete stranger in the midst of a silly tantrum. Lesson: Be aware of how you act (& what you're projecting) at all times. You never know who is 👁👁watching... 💚Bridget from Cali☘️ (using my pal's YT acct)
What you say about mirrors (and I feel photos etc fall into that too) is so true. I've often gone out, dressed nicely, felt pretty and had a great time, only to see photos later on and be crushed by how little I looked like what I thought I did. Or you're doing great, strolling along, thinking you're killing it until you catch sight of yourself in a shop window and be totally knocked down by what you see not matching how you feel = mood ruined. Yet if I had never seen that, I would have continued feeling good and confident. So, less mirrors please!
I hear you, but . . I Love Mirrors and have-many in multiple places because ... . just another (important) way of God Keeping Us Humble . (in addition to the helpfulness/practically of them, in case we get spinach or a raisin dental-ly stuckLOL, or want to keep our eyes looking clean or refresh or lip-tint) 🇮🇱 🇺🇲 🎵 ❤️
@@angelakeep5238 but why are you placing flags in the end of your comment? There is a sad genocide in Gaza and it totally shift my mind from “beauty” to over 15000 murdered children. Peace and freedom for humanity❤
I live in one part of the US and visited a different area of the country several years ago. You have to work with what you have - but I remember thinking these people don’t even try!!! The grooming standards were much different than what I grew up with. You have to try. It doesn’t mean wearing elaborate makeup and fancy clothes. It means being clean and tidy.
My mother was visually impaired most of her life. And yes, she had some very pretty friends that she never once saw. She said the clothing textures and personal smells of of people let her know how much her friends appreciated themselves. Isn't that what it's all about?
You are so right on this. I met my husband and felt very comfortable with him on our first date. He was not my “type” he had red hair and freckles. But as I got to know him, I realized he was one of the kindest and generous people I ever met. Eventually I would look at him and see such a beautiful person. Still do after thirty odd years.
Oh my, this video was the BEST I’ve ever seen on the subject of “pretty.” I always feel happiest and prettiest when I’m filled with joy and gratitude, so I feel my beauty when it’s reflected in the eyes of my loving children and especially grandchildren. And as I age - I’m 78 - I find that a sense of humor about it really helps.) Thank you for a wonderful video!
This is such a deep thinking channel. I am learning psychology more than anything else. It's easy to accept my body and celebrate it. Diana...you r the best style coach , fashionista, image coach and a dear friend. Thankyou so much . Love from Bangalore , India
You are such an attractive person! I especially love the little quirky smile that lurks around the corners of your mouth and your sparkling eyes which hide a sense of humour!
I have tried over the years to explain happiness and contentment to people who can't seem to access that feeling. I get a huge amount of joy in the worlds smallest joys...flowers, bees, wildlife, children, sunshine, ants, silly sounds, waterfalls...you name it. When I access the tiny little things in life, my looks don't matter. I think the most attractive trait someone can have, is total acceptance and contentment.
I remember meeting a co-worker who I thought was very homely. But after I got to know her, it was like magic. She was beautiful. She had dark skin and green eyes. She had a brilliant smile. And that doesn’t begin to describe her depth of personality.
I think you've hit on such a key point there. It's the reason so many 'homely' and even (seen as) unattractive women snag men of all descriptions as faithful husbands, leaving their prettier peers on the shelf. Not that that's better but a sad but true fact. Plus it seems people go out of their way to praise less attractive women, usually for ulterior motives or to, in their minds, compensate for some perceived disadvantage. Sometimes it's cringeworthy and awkward. Seen women gushed over that clearly know something's not right/genuine.
"I like you just the way you are." Just one fantastic quote by Mr. 10. Pretty is all about LOVING yourself as you NOT squeezing yourself into some ridiculous mold that society thinks is the new thing.
I moved from Southern California to Utah for a job almost 20 years ago and I just happen to be a very like you said” in the middle” person but toned myself down a lot since I moved here. Your content has literally woken up that fun side of me again. People think I’m going crazy I think. 😊 Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
As I’ve gotten older, I have come to terms with my aging face and body. It has not been easy to feel comfortable with this new self, especially in our youth obsessed society. I do find that unique clothing and a little makeup help. As well as a bright smile for those who disapprove of those of us who do not conform to stereotypes of mature women.
I wore pajamas for evening apparel, a lacy robe and chemise with nice dress sandals, to a concert and felt comfortable and confident. I received many compliments for being myself in basic dress because my personality shown through.
I feel prettier when I work on my posture and mannerisms. I also think people are prettier when they speak in a kind and considered way and don't swear. Fantastic video as always, thank you for your wonderful advice and philosophies. ❤
I feel prettiest when I've helped someone solve a problem, provided financial help, dried someone's tears, brought peace...whatever the situation, when I give of myself, the person I've helped walks away with a new outlook and I walk away with a smile. I'm nearly 70 now. I've tried every beauty product, shot up my face with fillers, starved myself for thinness, but the best beauty item out there is your smile. No one can take it away, and you never have to worry about losing it!
Due to cancer surgery and treatments and side effects, I’ve lost my physical ability to smile. It’s been really hard to adjust to along with communication challenges. Being able to do something as simple as smile is a blessing and I’m glad to have shared many smiles in my earlier chapters. Funny how many dogs and cats seem to know when I’m smiling on the inside….not only my own companion pets.
@@doricetimko5403 😊Dear friend, it's tempting to lose heart when dealt such a blow, but I encourage you to keep the 🕊faith. Thankfully, you successfully survived an incredibly difficult situation. The truth is our healing & recovery can take these unexpected twists & turns. And, I've no doubt your lovely 🙂smiles😁 have cheered many folks over the ages. 😉 I have always enjoyed smiling at others too. It does feel like a 🦸♀️superpower⚡️way of showing empathy, interest, & support to others. At first, I seriously felt the loss🥺 when we were required to wear masks😷 in public. I learned from that experience that a smile can be conveyed beyond that particular limitation. 🤔That was never more evident for myself. After the worst of the pandemic passed, I had over a 2.5 month stay at hospital & rehab where masks were required as a safety precaution outside of our rooms. I found it's still possible to positively connect w/other patients & all the incredible workers even when my smile was quite hidden. Sometimes a cheerful head nod or deferential head bow will serve. Otherwise, it's allowing your positivity or reflections of goodwill to ✨️sparkle & shine✨️ out of your wonderful eyes👁👁. Your internal look of interest, concern, & care can be remarkably effective. I was quite gratified to see that almost everyone responded in kind to my non-verbal expressions. An effective smile always goes beyond our lips anyway. Blessings. 💚Bridget from Cali ☘️ (using my pal's YT acct)
I wish my mom or aunt or some other woman in my family had given me this advice when I was younger. I hope that doesn't sound weird. But I've been really enjoying your channel because I've been looking for some positive "parental" type content to view. It was obvious to me to look for channels like "Dad, How do I...?" because my dad actively pushed me away, but it took longer for me to see that my mom also just didn't really communicate the kinds of things to me that positive female role models do. I'm not very young anymore, but I appreciate your advice! You are right about leaning into our uniqueness and kindness. I think the times I've felt prettiest have been when I made someone laugh and they looked at me with delight, or when I did something nice for a coworker or friend.
No that's not weird at all. It's actually why I make these videos. I'm always making videos about things that I wish I had known earlier. I had a very emotionally removed dad and a bit of an unfeminine mom (but not for lack of trying!) so any wisdom I've picked up over years, I try to communicate it to someone who needs it! 😘
Hi Diana, I love your channel very much, you make myself and my son laugh with your out look on life as it is very much our way of thinking about things.. Totally agree with how society and advertising are making people look inward at themselves rather than outward and getting enjoyment from doing so and helping others in return. Your foster kittens are so cute! Fantastic thing to do. I also get a lot from your makeup advise, but being a non meat eater and an animal lover I will not use make up companies such as Max and others as they test on animals, I only buy cruelty free products. Would you do a makeup tutorial using cruelty free products as I can't be the only one of your viewers who may be thinking this. Thanks Diana, as I say, love your channel X
You're right that people do bring this up! I have to admit that I'm not well-educated on the topic of cruelty free or organic makeup companies. I'm willing to learn!
Hi! Two things. I think I’m average, two eyes and all, but I noticed when I go out, I try to truly smile at people, look at them in the eyes. (Sometimes it takes a lot of praying!) Most of the time it uplifts them. We don’t know what others are struggling with, and I believe this helps some. Also in the Living Bible Translation, Proverbs 19:22 says- Kindness makes a man attractive… You’re sweet, thank you! John 3:16❤️
Lovely video as always🥰 I know some very pretty people to look at but their personality is anything than pretty and it just isn’t enough for me to call them beautiful…and Beauty really goes deeper than just looks! I feel drawn to people with a good energy, with a warm attitude just their essence or soul shining through!
I don't generally feel "pretty," but I've been told that I am often enough to realize that other people are able to see something that I can't. But, I do frequently feel "cute," so I dress for the cutest that I can attain at 46 (thankfully my husband appreciates the cuteness). I do, however, know that I have a beautiful smile (thank you, it's paid for), and I raised my daughter with my idea that "life is hard, beauty is fleeting, but a genuine smile goes a long way in life," especially when one has a natural Resting Bad Face. 😂 Smiles make everyone so much more appealing, and they're free! Also, Mr. Rogers 🎉🎉🎉
You are so wise! And you are absolutely right, the prettiest people I know actually don’t fit the ideal beauty standards. They are kind and confident and rock their style, not somebody else’s or generic trying to fit in style! I’m only 30, I learn so much from your videos!
I recently developed the most intense infatuation for someone. He's very good looking (in a unique way), but it's his personality, character and spirit that sent me falling over the edge. He's so kind, personable, vibrant, reliable and supportive. I just can't get over him.
I've always felt that beauty and attractiveness is mostly an inside job. I have met gorgeous people but then been turned off by them because of their personalities. The reverse is also true. But I have also always felt in the minority on this point of view. Your video was a refreshing dose of positivity in the dirty world of beauty!❤
Diana! You have validated everything I believe to be true, and gave us the best words and examples for it. I so agree with you. I feel prettier now than I ever have before in my life. I think it’s a combination of changes that I have made. I lost weight, started Ballroom dancing, and I rescue dogs( and their owners oftentimes) by advocating for them when they have found themselves in the confluence of behavior issues and the law. I definitely decorate myself ( and my house) and I avoid comparing myself to others. I love your videos! Keep them going they inspire and make me smile!
I'm a young mother in her early 20s, I love your channel, advice and messages. Happy to find role models like you that help me see who I'd to become as a lady, and no longer just a girl (if that makes any sense, haha) Thank you for sharing your self with us, it's inspiring 😊💖
I like this. It stresses the importance of internal validation. "I feel pretty. Who cares what anyone else thinks." I don't look at photos of myself very often because all I see are imperfections and I undermine myself. Kind of like "I feel great!" Then I get on a scale, and it ruins my day. I don't get on scales. And I totally agree with you on Mr. Rogers. Occasionally, when I need to be inspired by a human being I'll watch "Won't you be my neighbor?" Sometimes I need to be reminded that I like myself, just the way I am. And so does Mr. Rogers.
Right, it's about how you FEEL. Have you ever gone to an event and felt gorgeous all night , then looked in the mirror and you looked a wreck? But you had a wonderful night? Haha! FEELing cute is way more important.
I’ve only been watching you for about a month, but I just wanted to let you know what a difference you’ve made in my life. At 60 I’m finding my style. Quirky classic😊and I feel better about me than I did all through my 50s.❤
New subbie here! Excellent content, love it! Fitness is HUGE. At 57 I have never been in better shape and my confidence and mental health have exponentially improved. It has not been easy, but it has been 1000% worth every hard effort and sweaty workout 🙌🏻
Omg I just felt I had a coffee chat with Diane. I smiled throughout „the whole conversation“ with you😂…I could have not said it better. I just love your way of bringing those kind of messages to all of us.❤❤❤
I volunteer and I love it. I know people from politicians to the homeless and they all have great stories. Where I volunteer is a community newspaper. We say we are inclusive not exclusive and we print newspapers and hand them out for free so that people know what’s happening in their neighbourhood. Many can’t afford data for their phones let alone the internet and need to be informed with what’s happening. May you all please take care and stay safe. Louisa. 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️🤩🤩🤩
What a fabulous gift you give to your community! Thank you. Perhaps you can expand your outreach through collaborating with a literacy program. Major empowerment for those seeking these services. I suggest this because I live in an area with a 24% illiteracy rate.
I felt prettiest when once I was in Trader Joes and a little child pointed at me and said, "Look at the pretty lady!" I must have been giving off vibes of kindness. "Decorating yourself" in your definition is the perfect explanation of why I feel so compelled to do it- it is so important for me, as a former neglected "invisible child" to treat myself as someone who is worth decorating. Plus, I just love decorating and I'm allowed to decorate myself however I want! And yes, I have walked past people in the grocery store and smelled their dirty hair and just gagged. That is one of the worst smells in the world to me! I simply can't be around people who don't wash their hair frequently enough.
I’ve been that person in the grocery store. But, at the end of the day, it mattered more that I could manage my depression enough to get out of the house and provide for my family’s needs. Feeling capable, no matter the circumstances, is worth more than any icing on the cake.
Hi Veronica, I have also been that person, overburdened in grocery store and under-groomed. Depression is a whole other thing that shouldn't be lumped in with bad grooming habits. I'm sorry if it sounded insulting, that was not my intention. I was not referring to depression. I was referring to people with a lifestyle of mediocre grooming
I know some perfect people. They happen to be my wonderful grandchildren. They don’t think they are, but I know the truth! I just love you and your posts! You are pretty!
That Okcupid survey sounds legit. I'll use my favorite kpop group as an example since that is an industry that focuses very heavily on looks. My favorite member is one of the least popular members in the group, but I think he's the most handsome man in the world. I also really appreciate how talented he is and his personality makes me wish I knew him irl. I'll be his fan until they quit. The more popular members (read: attractive in a very specific way) have an endless supply of fans, but are also some of the most fickle and toxic people you'll ever see in a fandom. They'll be the first to change their mind about who they like best or stop being fans altogether. Being "prettier" may give you more options, but often lower quality options too.
I hope your channel and messages gets to everyone especially younger women. I'm in my early 50s and love not caring much about what others think. It would have been great to have gotten here earlier in life and enjoyed being quirky and unique a bit more.
Beauty trends have always been vacuous and often downright dangerous (think skin whitening in Victorian times and even nowadays in certain countries). Letting go of vanity (beyond just taking care of yourself) would save so many people so much grief
I LOVE this! You nailed it, Diana. The hollow search for unattainable perfection is ridiculous. You've outlined tangible, realistic, and doable actions that can bring results. Thank you. You also kept your word that we would not find this anywhere else. Ditto on comments how boring so many channels have become. LOL re: the smell of greasy hair. 🤮 Being well groomed, being fit and having a good attitude makes anyone attractive. When you feel good about yourself, healthy, happy...you look good. Period. Who doesn't love hearing someone say how good you smell!! 😘
i always feel pretty at the beach! it's such a multi-sensory experience. the sand grounds me like nothing else can. and the ocean pulls me into the world of Big Dreams
Hi Diana, thank you for this. I think we are all in the middle here too. I don't know anyone who has had plastic surgery. I think it's very difficult for young people today. Enjoying your videos. Best wishes from sunny Shropshire 😊 xx
All your points are great & true. My mum used to say 'more tears have rolled down the face of a pretty girl than a plain girl's.' She was born pretty & so was I & she tried to instill in me early not to rely on looks but to develop character. She also knew how pretty looking people are often misjudged & envied. It's SO important to be loved for who we are not what we look like. Thank you for this video. And, yes, let's keep feeling pretty! ❤ As we age, youthful good looks fade & can be replaced by a deeper, through & through beauty that never goes.
Just wanted to say thank you! This video is so wise und kind. 💐Just when you started talking about fitness, TH-cam interupted with a McDonald's commercial. 😆
I get that a clean smelling good and well groomed person is nice to be around, but to me, I see beauty in eyes and living energy in any kind of people and specially “real” people that are less financially fortunate and they don’t dwell in the overly material and appearance world. When I visit my home country of Brazil, what I most look forward to is to interact with the “common” people, being them a fisherman, a farmer, a rural artist, a simple life person… there is beauty in the authentic non assuming or physically unique I groomed , even toothless old grandmothers!… I ounce chat with a fisherman in the northeast of Brazil that he was the most delightful beautiful human I have ever met! His smile was contagious and he was missing a couple of teeth! His eyes were shinning like an ocean under the sunrise. His movements were like a slow song. He was happy as a child even though he looked ageless in his midlife. He exuded beauty!
❤ shame there isn’t a love ….all I could give was a like. Your talk today was so profound. The pretty and youthful analysis was spot on. Please share more of your views like this. Numbers for looks have always rubbed me the wrong way ever since the movie “Ten”, but without hesitation you are a ten.
This is a wonderful video. And you are genuinely funny and this capability is quite rare. Keep it coming. It is deeply satisfying information. Bye for now.
Great video, Diana! The only time I don't feel pretty these days is during PMS. Dang hormones! I have worked on myself physically mentally and emotionally, and I would say I'm very at ease with myself; I like myself, despite the fact that most of my life people around me (and more importantly, myself) considered me very plain, even ugly. When I am PMSing, I am reminded of how easily my perception can revert back to the way i used to think, based on how I feel, how well I'm sleeping, and what my hormonal balance is like. Meditation and visualization help quite a bit. As always, I'm a work in progress.
I cannot believe you mentioned something I’ve been experiencing in the last 2 years!!! Oily-smelling people in the grocery store!!! Are people no longer bathing!?!? I, too, have followed a great-smelling person around in the grocery store!!! One time it was an employee and I just had to tell him he smelled great😅😅😅
I appreciate the content you create❤🔥Thaks for that! Your hair totally gives me art teacher vibes, in the best way possible! To me, beauty is found in authenticity and kindness. I feel most radiant when I prioritize my physical well-being and creative desires in every aspect of life. I find beauty in people who are true to themselves, not just those who fit a mold. The most beautiful people have kind hearts and make others feel comfortable being who they are. I love people who aren't afraid to be different and who express their individuality through their style.
I just love you. This might be strange but I really like the font that you used for the “headlines”. With the lighting that dims and the coloring that goes with it, it is just really cool and modern looking to me. NOT an expert, but it really stood out to me.❤
Brilliant video!!! You know I always thought the word pretty was a little ambiguous and maybe even boring. In all the “choose 3 words to create your personal style” videos - you never hear pretty, but rather “beautiful” or “elegant” which seem more impactful somehow. Still I always came back to wanting the word pretty but it didn’t really work. Now I know why - I never realized until today that pretty makes MORE sense as a feeling/verb than it ever did as an adjective. Feeling pretty is individual and comes from within, versus looking pretty which I guess is about pleasing others. You have completely shifted the paradigm here in an amazing way - thank you 😊 🎉❤
So true!! I'm a firm believer in "the middle" (for SO many aspects of life. I'll gladly raise that banner with you!! I agree with all the rest too. 👍👌💯
Diana, I mean this in the most un creepiest of ways, I would follow you around any supermarket in town. You have given voice to what I could not have found the words to express. What leapt to mind is a Facebook page for “Over 50 Women” (age not amount) and it seems that over fifty of them are competing like high school girls. What you describe is EXACTLY how I want to mature and evolve, although having carried extra weight all my life has challenged me in the”beauty” area so that area is a work in progress. Nonetheless-I HATE worrying about my emerging turkey waddle or the male gaze (never really had it anyway-although my son and husband think I’m okay and frankly never leave me alone…NOT complaining). I just want to progress in the ways you described. Thank you for naming it!!!
Hi, Diana, enjoying your videos! Since you admire Fred Roger’s, as I do, you will I think love the book, I’m proud of you, My Friendship With Fred Roger’s. I read it a while ago, but I remember it being a beautiful book. Thank you for your wise advice. I liked your flying analogy among your other thoughts.

I once listened to a talk where the woman said that one of the best days of her life was when her little granddaughter sat on her lap and patted her cheek, and said, "I love you, Grandma, you have such pretty patterns on your face."
Awwww that's sweet!
I feel the most beautiful when little kids come and hug me for no apparent reason. 🥰
74 years old - feeling pretty when I am creating - baking, cooking, sewing, crocheting, playing the piano and going for a walk with my husband 😍
Love that!
I know you talk about French girl style but your humour is actually quite British. ...you make me laugh while talking absolute sense, you are a star. 'I can't even fly' ....😅 ...'plastic surgery - If you want your art to cost a lot of money and be painful' 🤣 I love your 5 ways of being pretty. I was running through Wimbledon recently and stopped at a road crossing. Sweating, wearing lycra, hair all over the place, not a good look for a 56 yo woman. The lady next to me and said wow, what's that perfume you're wearing, it smells lovely. I was, frankly, aghast. So even when you don't necessarily see yourself as put together you can still seem so to others. I felt pretty all the way home 🙂 Finally, active kindness and generosity...this is gold dust. Keep doing what you do Diana its wonderful
Thank youuuuuuu! 😘
😉That's a great moment. I remember a time when clothes shopping🛍 w/my beloved mom🥰 in the 90s.
😖Was admittedly a somewhat spoiled 20something, sulking dramatically over our incredibly long line & slow register after a long day.
Not saying much in a royal blue trouser suit, but speaking volumes w/my silent eye rolls & silly expressions to entertain her. 👠My discomfort in high heels coupled w/growing impatience inspired me to be more theatrical. Moved to a wide stance w/my hands firmly planted on my hips.
Moments later this gentleman came over from across the floor & said to her: "Your daughter looks like ★Wonder Woman★... about to twirl & go off to fight some crime."
😊We all had a good laugh. Lovely to be likened to the beautiful 📺 Lynda Carter, but embarrassing😳 to be caught out by a complete stranger in the midst of a silly tantrum.
Lesson: Be aware of how you act (& what you're projecting) at all times. You never know who is 👁👁watching...

What you say about mirrors (and I feel photos etc fall into that too) is so true. I've often gone out, dressed nicely, felt pretty and had a great time, only to see photos later on and be crushed by how little I looked like what I thought I did. Or you're doing great, strolling along, thinking you're killing it until you catch sight of yourself in a shop window and be totally knocked down by what you see not matching how you feel = mood ruined. Yet if I had never seen that, I would have continued feeling good and confident. So, less mirrors please!
Me too
I hear you, but . . I Love Mirrors and have-many in multiple places because ... . just another (important) way of God Keeping Us Humble . (in addition to the helpfulness/practically of them, in case we get spinach or a raisin dental-ly stuckLOL, or want to keep our eyes looking clean or refresh or lip-tint)

@@angelakeep5238 but why are you placing flags in the end of your comment? There is a sad genocide in Gaza and it totally shift my mind from “beauty” to over 15000 murdered children. Peace and freedom for humanity❤
I live in one part of the US and visited a different area of the country several years ago. You have to work with what you have - but I remember thinking these people don’t even try!!!
The grooming standards were much different than what I grew up with. You have to try. It doesn’t mean wearing elaborate makeup and fancy clothes. It means being clean and tidy.
My mother was visually impaired most of her life. And yes, she had some very pretty friends that she never once saw. She said the clothing textures and personal smells of of people let her know how much her friends appreciated themselves. Isn't that what it's all about?
I foster kittens to feel pretty. They make me happy, and happy is pretty. They are also always in the moment, and focused on having fun.
Yes they really help me be present!
You are so right on this. I met my husband and felt very comfortable with him on our first date. He was not my “type” he had red hair and freckles. But as I got to know him, I realized he was one of the kindest and generous people I ever met. Eventually I would look at him and see such a beautiful person. Still do after thirty odd years.
Sweet! 💘
Mr. Rogers was the best. 💞
Oh my, this video was the BEST I’ve ever seen on the subject of “pretty.” I always feel happiest and prettiest when I’m filled with joy and gratitude, so I feel my beauty when it’s reflected in the eyes of my loving children and especially grandchildren. And as I age - I’m 78 - I find that a sense of humor about it really helps.) Thank you for a wonderful video!
I'm so glad you liked this! I love your story.
This is such a deep thinking channel. I am learning psychology more than anything else. It's easy to accept my body and celebrate it. Diana...you r the best style coach , fashionista, image coach and a dear friend.
Thankyou so much . Love from Bangalore , India
You are so welcome! I'm very glad you found me. Welcome to our tribe! 😘
You are such an attractive person! I especially love the little quirky smile that lurks around the corners of your mouth and your sparkling eyes which hide a sense of humour!
I have tried over the years to explain happiness and contentment to people who can't seem to access that feeling. I get a huge amount of joy in the worlds smallest joys...flowers, bees, wildlife, children, sunshine, ants, silly sounds, waterfalls...you name it. When I access the tiny little things in life, my looks don't matter. I think the most attractive trait someone can have, is total acceptance and contentment.
💯
I remember meeting a co-worker who I thought was very homely. But after I got to know her, it was like magic. She was beautiful. She had dark skin and green eyes. She had a brilliant smile. And that doesn’t begin to describe her depth of personality.
I think you've hit on such a key point there. It's the reason so many 'homely' and even (seen as) unattractive women snag men of all descriptions as faithful husbands, leaving their prettier peers on the shelf. Not that that's better but a sad but true fact. Plus it seems people go out of their way to praise less attractive women, usually for ulterior motives or to, in their minds, compensate for some perceived disadvantage. Sometimes it's cringeworthy and awkward. Seen women gushed over that clearly know something's not right/genuine.
"I like you just the way you are." Just one fantastic quote by Mr. 10. Pretty is all about LOVING yourself as you NOT squeezing yourself into some ridiculous mold that society thinks is the new thing.
Great insights for sure 👌 thank you
I moved from Southern California to Utah for a job almost 20 years ago and I just happen to be a very like you said” in the middle” person but toned myself down a lot since I moved here. Your content has literally woken up that fun side of me again.
People think I’m going crazy I think. 😊
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
Weeeeeeee! 🥳
Something about this video today reminds me of when i was younger and I KNEW who I was, and that is healing to my heart. Thank you
That's wonderful to hear!
I think imperfections are pretty 😊
You are one of those FANTASTIC people!!!
Thank you! ❤
As I’ve gotten older, I have come to terms with my aging face and body. It has not been easy to feel comfortable with this new self, especially in our youth obsessed society. I do find that unique clothing and a little makeup help. As well as a bright smile for those who disapprove of those of us who do not conform to stereotypes of mature women.
Literally everyone I know lives in the middle with you! Nice video!
That's good to hear!
Depends on one's location. I live grew up in and live in an affluent area, without being affluent, and the perfection standard is everywhere, sadly.
I wore pajamas for evening apparel, a lacy robe and chemise with nice dress sandals, to a concert and felt comfortable and confident. I received many compliments for being myself in basic dress because my personality shown through.
Love that!
I feel prettier when I work on my posture and mannerisms. I also think people are prettier when they speak in a kind and considered way and don't swear. Fantastic video as always, thank you for your wonderful advice and philosophies. ❤
Yes posture! Good point!
I feel prettiest when I've helped someone solve a problem, provided financial help, dried someone's tears, brought peace...whatever the situation, when I give of myself, the person I've helped walks away with a new outlook and I walk away with a smile. I'm nearly 70 now. I've tried every beauty product, shot up my face with fillers, starved myself for thinness, but the best beauty item out there is your smile. No one can take it away, and you never have to worry about losing it!
These are beautiful words. Thank you ❤😊
Yes, you are a helper! A true 10!
Due to cancer surgery and treatments and side effects, I’ve lost my physical ability to smile. It’s been really hard to adjust to along with communication challenges.
Being able to do something as simple as smile is a blessing and I’m glad to have shared many smiles in my earlier chapters.
Funny how many dogs and cats seem to know when I’m smiling on the inside….not only my own companion pets.
That's sweet and I'm sure you're correct. Animals are amazing.
@@doricetimko5403 😊Dear friend, it's tempting to lose heart when dealt such a blow, but I encourage you to keep the 🕊faith.
Thankfully, you successfully survived an incredibly difficult situation. The truth is our healing & recovery can take these unexpected twists & turns.
And, I've no doubt your lovely 🙂smiles😁 have cheered many folks over the ages. 😉 I have always enjoyed smiling at others too. It does feel like a 🦸♀️superpower⚡️way of showing empathy, interest, & support to others.
At first, I seriously felt the loss🥺 when we were required to wear masks😷 in public. I learned from that experience that a smile can be conveyed beyond that particular limitation.
🤔That was never more evident for myself. After the worst of the pandemic passed, I had over a 2.5 month stay at hospital & rehab where masks were required as a safety precaution outside of our rooms.
I found it's still possible to positively connect w/other patients & all the incredible workers even when my smile was quite hidden. Sometimes a cheerful head nod or deferential head bow will serve.
Otherwise, it's allowing your positivity or reflections of goodwill to ✨️sparkle & shine✨️ out of your wonderful eyes👁👁. Your internal look of interest, concern, & care can be remarkably effective. I was quite gratified to see that almost everyone responded in kind to my non-verbal expressions. An effective smile always goes beyond our lips anyway. Blessings.

My guardian angel must have set the algorithm for today. I needed to hear this.
Thank you xxx
There is only one Mona Lisa. It is a unique work of art and each of us are unique works of arts. Embrace your own uniqueness 💖
I just plain really LIKE YOU!
🥰 thank you!
I wish my mom or aunt or some other woman in my family had given me this advice when I was younger. I hope that doesn't sound weird. But I've been really enjoying your channel because I've been looking for some positive "parental" type content to view. It was obvious to me to look for channels like "Dad, How do I...?" because my dad actively pushed me away, but it took longer for me to see that my mom also just didn't really communicate the kinds of things to me that positive female role models do. I'm not very young anymore, but I appreciate your advice! You are right about leaning into our uniqueness and kindness. I think the times I've felt prettiest have been when I made someone laugh and they looked at me with delight, or when I did something nice for a coworker or friend.
No that's not weird at all. It's actually why I make these videos. I'm always making videos about things that I wish I had known earlier. I had a very emotionally removed dad and a bit of an unfeminine mom (but not for lack of trying!) so any wisdom I've picked up over years, I try to communicate it to someone who needs it! 😘
Hi Diana, I love your channel very much, you make myself and my son laugh with your out look on life as it is very much our way of thinking about things.. Totally agree with how society and advertising are making people look inward at themselves rather than outward and getting enjoyment from doing so and helping others in return. Your foster kittens are so cute! Fantastic thing to do. I also get a lot from your makeup advise, but being a non meat eater and an animal lover I will not use make up companies such as Max and others as they test on animals, I only buy cruelty free products. Would you do a makeup tutorial using cruelty free products as I can't be the only one of your viewers who may be thinking this. Thanks Diana, as I say, love your channel X
You're right that people do bring this up! I have to admit that I'm not well-educated on the topic of cruelty free or organic makeup companies. I'm willing to learn!
Hi! Two things. I think I’m average, two eyes and all, but I noticed when I go out, I try to truly smile at people, look at them in the eyes. (Sometimes it takes a lot of praying!) Most of the time it uplifts them. We don’t know what others are struggling with, and I believe this helps some. Also in the Living Bible Translation, Proverbs 19:22 says- Kindness makes a man attractive… You’re sweet, thank you! John 3:16❤️
I love Mr Rogers too!
Lovely video as always🥰 I know some very pretty people to look at but their personality is anything than pretty and it just isn’t enough for me to call them beautiful…and Beauty really goes deeper than just looks! I feel drawn to people with a good energy, with a warm attitude just their essence or soul shining through!
💯
"I feel pretty,
Oh so pretty,
I feel pretty,
And witty,
And well!!!!"
xoxoox
I don't generally feel "pretty," but I've been told that I am often enough to realize that other people are able to see something that I can't. But, I do frequently feel "cute," so I dress for the cutest that I can attain at 46 (thankfully my husband appreciates the cuteness). I do, however, know that I have a beautiful smile (thank you, it's paid for), and I raised my daughter with my idea that "life is hard, beauty is fleeting, but a genuine smile goes a long way in life," especially when one has a natural Resting Bad Face. 😂 Smiles make everyone so much more appealing, and they're free!
Also, Mr. Rogers 🎉🎉🎉
Wonderful! ❤ It's so important that we're careful with our language with our daughters (I never had one but I have nieces).
@@unblahyourself absolutely ...and careful with our language period, because ALL other women are someone else's daughter.
You are so wise! And you are absolutely right, the prettiest people I know actually don’t fit the ideal beauty standards. They are kind and confident and rock their style, not somebody else’s or generic trying to fit in style! I’m only 30, I learn so much from your videos!
Thank you Sheena! I'm glad you're here with me!
I recently developed the most intense infatuation for someone. He's very good looking (in a unique way), but it's his personality, character and spirit that sent me falling over the edge. He's so kind, personable, vibrant, reliable and supportive. I just can't get over him.
Sweet! 😍
I've always felt that beauty and attractiveness is mostly an inside job. I have met gorgeous people but then been turned off by them because of their personalities. The reverse is also true. But I have also always felt in the minority on this point of view. Your video was a refreshing dose of positivity in the dirty world of beauty!❤
Diana! You have validated everything I believe to be true, and gave us the best words and examples for it. I so agree with you.
I feel prettier now than I ever have before in my life. I think it’s a combination of changes that I have made. I lost weight, started Ballroom dancing, and I rescue dogs( and their owners oftentimes) by advocating for them when they have found themselves in the confluence of behavior issues and the law.
I definitely decorate myself ( and my house) and I avoid comparing myself to others.
I love your videos! Keep them going they inspire and make me smile!
You sound so pretty! 😍
Hello! What a wonderful find! I mean this video on Being Pretty!
Great philosophy of life!
Please continue I love you.
@@lindaclairesartori aw thank youuuuuuu!!😘
I'm a young mother in her early 20s, I love your channel, advice and messages. Happy to find role models like you that help me see who I'd to become as a lady, and no longer just a girl (if that makes any sense, haha) Thank you for sharing your self with us, it's inspiring 😊💖
Aw mama hopefully with the right mindset you'll never need to UnBlah Yourself. 😘
This is wonderful. I've always felt ugly. I realized that a smile is pretty. I love your hair and red lip!
A genuine smile is the prettiest thing you can do! Thank you!
I like this. It stresses the importance of internal validation. "I feel pretty. Who cares what anyone else thinks." I don't look at photos of myself very often because all I see are imperfections and I undermine myself. Kind of like "I feel great!" Then I get on a scale, and it ruins my day. I don't get on scales. And I totally agree with you on Mr. Rogers. Occasionally, when I need to be inspired by a human being I'll watch "Won't you be my neighbor?" Sometimes I need to be reminded that I like myself, just the way I am. And so does Mr. Rogers.
Right, it's about how you FEEL. Have you ever gone to an event and felt gorgeous all night , then looked in the mirror and you looked a wreck? But you had a wonderful night? Haha! FEELing cute is way more important.
@@unblahyourself If I had a wonderful night, I'll probably look like a wreck! So long as I don't have spinach in my teeth or something! 😂
@@unblahyourself As long as the source of your illusion wasn't drugs or alcohol ... all's well that ends well. Heheh
Excellent ideas. Thanks for saying this -- and for including the kitten.
😻 Hi Karen!
@@unblahyourself :)
Totally agree with you about Mr. Rodgers. The best ever!
I’ve only been watching you for about a month, but I just wanted to let you know what a difference you’ve made in my life. At 60 I’m finding my style. Quirky classic😊and I feel better about me than I did all through my 50s.❤
Wow, I'm so glad to hear that! You're gonna love next weekend's video! 😘
Loved this positive and TRUE video!!! I absolutely feel “pretty” when people’s faces light up when they see me!!! I do feel loved and known♥️♥️♥️
New subbie here! Excellent content, love it! Fitness is HUGE. At 57 I have never been in better shape and my confidence and mental health have exponentially improved. It has not been easy, but it has been 1000% worth every hard effort and sweaty workout 🙌🏻
Yes! Welcome to our tribe!
The movie about Mr. Rogers, A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood (on Hulu), is great! Thanks for reminder about him, Diana.
Omg I just felt I had a coffee chat with Diane. I smiled throughout „the whole conversation“ with you😂…I could have not said it better. I just love your way of bringing those kind of messages to all of us.❤❤❤
I'm so glad you enjoyed this! 😘
I volunteer and I love it. I know people from politicians to the homeless and they all have great stories. Where I volunteer is a community newspaper. We say we are inclusive not exclusive and we print newspapers and hand them out for free so that people know what’s happening in their neighbourhood. Many can’t afford data for their phones let alone the internet and need to be informed with what’s happening. May you all please take care and stay safe. Louisa. 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️🤩🤩🤩
What a fabulous gift you give to your community! Thank you.
Perhaps you can expand your outreach through collaborating with a literacy program. Major empowerment for those seeking these services.
I suggest this because I live in an area with a 24% illiteracy rate.
That is completely awesome. Being useful to others is life affirming.
I felt prettiest when once I was in Trader Joes and a little child pointed at me and said, "Look at the pretty lady!" I must have been giving off vibes of kindness.
"Decorating yourself" in your definition is the perfect explanation of why I feel so compelled to do it- it is so important for me, as a former neglected "invisible child" to treat myself as someone who is worth decorating. Plus, I just love decorating and I'm allowed to decorate myself however I want!
And yes, I have walked past people in the grocery store and smelled their dirty hair and just gagged. That is one of the worst smells in the world to me! I simply can't be around people who don't wash their hair frequently enough.
I’ve been that person in the grocery store. But, at the end of the day, it mattered more that I could manage my depression enough to get out of the house and provide for my family’s needs. Feeling capable, no matter the circumstances, is worth more than any icing on the cake.
Hi Veronica, I have also been that person, overburdened in grocery store and under-groomed. Depression is a whole other thing that shouldn't be lumped in with bad grooming habits. I'm sorry if it sounded insulting, that was not my intention. I was not referring to depression. I was referring to people with a lifestyle of mediocre grooming
@@unblahyourselfI have 2 sons with autism and also a mother with autism and that is another thing that leads to a lifestyle of undergrooming.
@@faeriesmak that is true! I hear that!
@@faeriesmakas an in-home worker with children on the spectrum, I totally understand and am sending you love and gratitude for what you do.💙💜
You are a woman after my own 💜
I know some perfect people. They happen to be my wonderful grandchildren. They don’t think they are, but I know the truth!
I just love you and your posts! You are pretty!
That Okcupid survey sounds legit. I'll use my favorite kpop group as an example since that is an industry that focuses very heavily on looks. My favorite member is one of the least popular members in the group, but I think he's the most handsome man in the world. I also really appreciate how talented he is and his personality makes me wish I knew him irl. I'll be his fan until they quit.
The more popular members (read: attractive in a very specific way) have an endless supply of fans, but are also some of the most fickle and toxic people you'll ever see in a fandom. They'll be the first to change their mind about who they like best or stop being fans altogether. Being "prettier" may give you more options, but often lower quality options too.
I hope your channel and messages gets to everyone especially younger women. I'm in my early 50s and love not caring much about what others think. It would have been great to have gotten here earlier in life and enjoyed being quirky and unique a bit more.
You have soooooo much time though. You're not even a full fledged Queen Baddie yet, you're just a baby! 😘
Beauty trends have always been vacuous and often downright dangerous (think skin whitening in Victorian times and even nowadays in certain countries). Letting go of vanity (beyond just taking care of yourself) would save so many people so much grief
I LOVE this! You nailed it, Diana. The hollow search for unattainable perfection is ridiculous. You've outlined tangible, realistic, and doable actions that can bring results. Thank you. You also kept your word that we would not find this anywhere else. Ditto on comments how boring so many channels have become. LOL re: the smell of greasy hair. 🤮 Being well groomed, being fit and having a good attitude makes anyone attractive. When you feel good about yourself, healthy, happy...you look good. Period. Who doesn't love hearing someone say how good you smell!! 😘
💯
i always feel pretty at the beach! it's such a multi-sensory experience. the sand grounds me like nothing else can. and the ocean pulls me into the world of Big Dreams
Hi Diana, thank you for this. I think we are all in the middle here too. I don't know anyone who has had plastic surgery. I think it's very difficult for young people today. Enjoying your videos. Best wishes from sunny Shropshire 😊 xx
Glad you're here, Lee! ❤
@@unblahyourself ❤️
When I first see a friend after it's been a while, I may notice wrinkles or graying hair. After we start talking all I see is my beautiful friend!
All your points are great & true. My mum used to say 'more tears have rolled down the face of a pretty girl than a plain girl's.' She was born pretty & so was I & she tried to instill in me early not to rely on looks but to develop character. She also knew how pretty looking people are often misjudged & envied. It's SO important to be loved for who we are not what we look like. Thank you for this video. And, yes, let's keep feeling pretty! ❤ As we age, youthful good looks fade & can be replaced by a deeper, through & through beauty that never goes.
❤
Just wanted to say thank you! This video is so wise und kind. 💐Just when you started talking about fitness, TH-cam interupted with a McDonald's commercial. 😆
🤣 of course!
This video is incredible. Thank you for this message!
I get that a clean smelling good and well groomed person is nice to be around, but to me, I see beauty in eyes and living energy in any kind of people and specially “real” people that are less financially fortunate and they don’t dwell in the overly material and appearance world. When I visit my home country of Brazil, what I most look forward to is to interact with the “common” people, being them a fisherman, a farmer, a rural artist, a simple life person… there is beauty in the authentic non assuming or physically unique I groomed , even toothless old grandmothers!… I ounce chat with a fisherman in the northeast of Brazil that he was the most delightful beautiful human I have ever met! His smile was contagious and he was missing a couple of teeth! His eyes were shinning like an ocean under the sunrise. His movements were like a slow song. He was happy as a child even though he looked ageless in his midlife. He exuded beauty!
You are a real guru. So much info in one video!
❤❤❤❤
❤ shame there isn’t a love ….all I could give was a like. Your talk today was so profound. The pretty and youthful analysis was spot on. Please share more of your views like this. Numbers for looks have always rubbed me the wrong way ever since the movie “Ten”, but without hesitation you are a ten.
😘
Great points! I agree 100% - Love me some Mr Roger’s!
This is a wonderful video. And you are genuinely funny and this capability is quite rare. Keep it coming. It is deeply satisfying information. Bye for now.
Thank you so much!
You are a clear joy!
Great video, Diana! The only time I don't feel pretty these days is during PMS. Dang hormones! I have worked on myself physically mentally and emotionally, and I would say I'm very at ease with myself; I like myself, despite the fact that most of my life people around me (and more importantly, myself) considered me very plain, even ugly. When I am PMSing, I am reminded of how easily my perception can revert back to the way i used to think, based on how I feel, how well I'm sleeping, and what my hormonal balance is like. Meditation and visualization help quite a bit. As always, I'm a work in progress.
We all are!
Diana, I am so glad I found your channel. Every time I think I’ve seen your best video ever, you top it. I loved this one. Thank you.
Awwww thank you so much! 🥰 Every single time I film a new video I think, "Is anyone even going to like this?" So I'm thrilled when anyone does!
I cannot believe you mentioned something I’ve been experiencing in the last 2 years!!! Oily-smelling people in the grocery store!!! Are people no longer bathing!?!? I, too, have followed a great-smelling person around in the grocery store!!! One time it was an employee and I just had to tell him he smelled great😅😅😅
I think it came with the no-poo idea of only using conditioner and no shampoo.
I appreciate the content you create❤🔥Thaks for that! Your hair totally gives me art teacher vibes, in the best way possible!
To me, beauty is found in authenticity and kindness. I feel most radiant when I prioritize my physical well-being and creative desires in every aspect of life. I find beauty in people who are true to themselves, not just those who fit a mold. The most beautiful people have kind hearts and make others feel comfortable being who they are. I love people who aren't afraid to be different and who express their individuality through their style.
So young and so wise!
This is an inspiring video and I love your choice for a TEN! Being that kind of person makes everyone glow :) and seen. Thank you @unblahyourself.
❤❤❤❤
I just love you. This might be strange but I really like the font that you used for the “headlines”. With the lighting that dims and the coloring that goes with it, it is just really cool and modern looking to me. NOT an expert, but it really stood out to me.❤
Thanks! That's great feedback. Every single time is an experiment for me!
Brilliant video!!!
You know I always thought the word pretty was a little ambiguous and maybe even boring. In all the “choose 3 words to create your personal style” videos - you never hear pretty, but rather “beautiful” or “elegant” which seem more impactful somehow. Still I always came back to wanting the word pretty but it didn’t really work. Now I know why - I never realized until today that pretty makes MORE sense as a feeling/verb than it ever did as an adjective. Feeling pretty is individual and comes from within, versus looking pretty which I guess is about pleasing others. You have completely shifted the paradigm here in an amazing way - thank you 😊 🎉❤
Interesting insight!
Thank you again. I always find you so refreshing!
I feel prettier when I feel connected, either to a place (the woods, etc.), to an activity or to a person. 😊 Thank you, dear (pretty) lady!
😘
I love and appreciate your videos. Thank you for caring enough to share your perspective. Your tone is so kind. You inspire me 😊
Thank you so much!
I'm so glad I found you. What a positive, pretty woman you are! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you're here!
So true!! I'm a firm believer in "the middle" (for SO many aspects of life. I'll gladly raise that banner with you!!
I agree with all the rest too. 👍👌💯
Diana, I mean this in the most un creepiest of ways, I would follow you around any supermarket in town. You have given voice to what I could not have found the words to express. What leapt to mind is a Facebook page for “Over 50 Women” (age not amount) and it seems that over fifty of them are competing like high school girls. What you describe is EXACTLY how I want to mature and evolve, although having carried extra weight all my life has challenged me in the”beauty” area so that area is a work in progress. Nonetheless-I HATE worrying about my emerging turkey waddle or the male gaze (never really had it anyway-although my son and husband think I’m okay and frankly never leave me alone…NOT complaining). I just want to progress in the ways you described. Thank you for naming it!!!
Hugs to you Heidi!
Superb!
Perhaps you could make a video about practicing active kindness and generosity. I would love to see it.
Hi, Diana, enjoying your videos! Since you admire Fred Roger’s, as I do, you will I think love the book, I’m proud of you, My Friendship With Fred Roger’s. I read it a while ago, but I remember it being a beautiful book. Thank you for your wise advice. I liked your flying analogy among your other thoughts.
😘 thank you for the recommendation!
You don't disappoint ❤
YES!!!!!!! Mr. Rogers is for sure a 10!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for this video.
I will take on board some of the tips.
You definitely seem like a 10 x
Aw, thank you!!
I agree with you.
What a breath of fresh air! Thank you so much for a fabulous conversation, I really got a lot from your ideas.
I'm so glad!
Great topic. Thanks for this! Feeling good is looking good for sure!
thank u so much! i almost teared up, totally agree with everything 💔
The mirror comment was so insightful and sane!!😘😘😘
