Thank you SO SO SO much for all your amazing and supportive comments. I am so sorry I cannot answer them all, right now it's so hectic with both work and "real life" so TH-cam has been "suffering" a bit. Just know I've read all of it and I love the smart and insightful comments you are leaving!
More people need to hear the message about being alone is ok. I don't know why so many people think you have to be with someone to be happy. I love being single
That is so right I'm married but growing up I thought I always needed a man to validate Myself,but babygirl grew up and realized I am someone without a Man to!But I love this Man!Qeve been together over a decade.
Agree 100%. You can do stuff by yourself (like solo travel) and still not be lonely. Don't postpone things forever because nobody wants to join you. Same for relationships: you don't need to be in a relationship to be happy (or have value as a person, because apparently that's how some people see it). It's also good to cut people that don't make you happy out of your life. Konmari that shit. It's better to have a small friend group of people you actually like than being "friends with everybody but also not really".
Not everyone is lucky enough to "love being single." I dont think its so much "people think" that its just the feeling of it, its not like a conscious choice to believe oh i have to be with someone to be happy.
Heather J that isn’t luck. It’s something that has to be developed and maintained. And if we’re being honest almost nothing is a conscious choice alone. Our subconscious is always working in the background in all of our decisions. So IF u subconsciously believe the ability to be comfortably alone is “luck” or impossible or whatever or believe that staying or starting relationships out of loneliness or fear of being lonely should be or is a natural subconscious mindset for people I doubt your gonna make much progress.
@@heather_doestruecrime it's not about luck. It's your mindset. A lot of people are brought up that you need to be with someone to be complete, and you need kids to "live fully". I don't feel that way and love when other people can see both sides. Not everyone is meant to be in a relationship and not everyone is meant to be alone. To each their own.
It has been 15+ years since I walked away from my toxic family... everyone except my grandfather who was loving and supportive until his passing. It was so hard to make that decision, but when I look back at the situation, I now know I had protect myself.
I got married when I was 22 and I was 5 months pregnant. I was in such a hurry to grow up, and never had a chance to to chill out and get to know myself. Now I'm 33 and trying to still get my bachelors degree (19 credit hours is all I have left). Don't be like me. Get to know yourself better, or at least have a better support system if you decide to go down the road I have. If I could tell myself anything, it's that if you put yourself first, good things will happen. Be confident and put yourself first. I'm hoping that my daughter learns that lesson before life kicks her ass. That's all I want now.
I think you really brought up some great points: I felt like I knew everything at 18 but at 30 I feel so unsure of everything yet more comfortable in myself and my life choices.
I also don‘t get along with one of my close relatives. I get judged for it ALL THE TIME and I hate that people are not even trying to understand the reasons behind this. I always try to remember for myself that even your relatives are just normal human beings and you cannot possibly get along with everyone. The fact that they are my family does not change this. Btw I really like you and your videos 😊
Same here, except I was 17! I knew I didn’t want to be with him but I thought it was my only option at the time....and I didn’t want to admit that EVERYONE(neighbors, friends, relatives etc everyone said he is not good for you)was right
Thank you for talking about your personal life. I always find it so interesting as a 20 year old to hear the various experiences and life lessons people learned as a young adult and it’s always so insightful. It helps me feel a lot better about my own struggles and I think it’s great when people are open about it 💕
I think I would have told my 20 year old self that I am beautiful and intelligent. I had such low self esteem in my 20's and made some big mistakes in partners. (I love this purple look💜)
Hearing all of this as a 17 year old girl is exactly what I needed. From the relationship advice to the friendship advice, I’ve never had anyone there to tell me these things. I know it sounds silly but getting over my ex boyfriend is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do and your advice of “just because you fall in love with someone doesn’t mean you’re going to end up with that person” is just what I needed to hear. You are truly like my older, wise sister and I’m so thankful. I think this is my favorite video you’ve ever made. Thank you for everything Angi ❤️
I feel you on the part about your dad. My dad also was an alcoholic and smoked heavily but we don't actually know what killed him eventually (he lived separately, found him late...bla bla bla VERY long story, nobody cares). I had the same guilt for years - what if i could've done something? maybe things would've been different if only i visited more... But the more i think about it - no, there really is nothing anyone could do. He had to have made a choice to want to be better, nobody could do that for him and because of it nothing else we did helped. It has been 17 years and i only now am starting to heal from that guilt... I wish with all my heart that you'll get there sooner! Love you very much!
Hey Angie. Thanks for being your beautiful self. Your openness and honesty is so refreshing. I have a lot of family trauma that I am still dealing with as a 40 year old. It doesn't really get easier, you just learn to live with it and feel differently about things. Not sure if you know this but the blood is thicker than water quote actually is completely opposite. The quote was originally: “The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.” This actually means that blood shed in battle bonds soldiers more strongly than simple genetics. Although we commonly use it to suggest the strength of family ties, it doesn't refer to family at all." My friends and I prefer this version. Those that help you with your journey through life are your real family, blood relations are just that. 💜💜💜💜💜
Your look has me shook! (as usual) 💜 I love hearing you talk about anything. Between your accent, your sassiness, and your (philosophical and beauty) wisdom, I'm here for all of it! Your videos really de-stress me. Also, you said you wonder if you could've done something more for your dad, that's natural. I've had many people in my life with substance abuse issues. My brother just died a few weeks ago from it. I tried everything I could, even detaching for a while. My first partner died, friends, family members, same thing. There's really not much we can do to change their minds if they don't want help. I think easier availability of recovery methods can help, but they still eventually have to want it enough to do what it takes to heal. Those substances change the brain so much of course, so it makes it so challenging. Good job on the boundaries with the toxic family member too. I've had to do that with a few. Your funeral story reminded me of my momster, who I'm permanently estranged from. Like you said "life's too short" so no reason for us to endure other's misery unnecessarily. Best wishes always! 💛
I’ve thought about this a lot, things I wish I could tell myself years ago. And whatever i learned I’ve tried my best to share with my little sisters. But on another note, so in love with that lavender shade 😍
So true, the older my friends and i get, the sillier we are and the less concerned with others' opinions about us we are. And, yes, it's so much better to be alone, than in the company if people who are not right for 'you'.
I have two things I feel compelled to share: First, my father was a drug addict. Every person is different but his attitude was a lot like what you described with your father; no desire to do anything else. In my experience, all the showing up you can possibly do and standing in front of them explaining your thoughts and fears don't matter as much as whatever is going on inside of themselves. I've spent my whole life begging and yelling and crying and it didn't matter to someone who just wanted to do what they were doing. I'm sorry to be so nihilistic about it, but that was my experience. So it's my personal opinion that confronting your father about his problems would have just exchanged one regret for another. Secondly, I want to thank you. You're helping me deal with a lot of my own anxieties and worries about who I'm gonna be and what I'm able to do when I'm your age. In my culture girls are expected to be married and having kids by max 25 or else we're gonna shrivel up and waste ourselves and our whole lives (because of you're not a mother then what's the point of being a woman, right?) I'm 26 now with no kids (and the possibility of not being able to have them physically, but that's seperate), and while I know that perspective is wrong, there's still a lot of lingering anxiety I get from a lifetime of an imaginary ticking clock and cultural expectations. It's at the point now that I have half-heartedly decided that maybe I just won't have kids, despite wanting them, because maybe by the time I'm stable enough to support them how I want to I'll be too old to have them (not only biologically but also the whole "a 40 year old woman running after their 5 year old child is shameful" aspect that goes along with wanting us to start young). But that's not fair to myself and the reality of being a woman in her mid/late-30s. You've given me such a wonderful example of a healthy, happy woman who's following her own timeline and giving me the support that I cannot and will not find in the people around me and I just want to thank you so much for that.
I cut off my mother from my life when I was 17. EVERYBODY told me "how could you it's your mother you are going to regret this" now I'm in my 30's and I still don't regret it. maybe I will maybe I won't ! and it's my own personal business that people that don't even know her or the situation can't judge ^^
I did that over 15 yrs ago. Best decision of my life! She hasn't changed a bit anyway. Sometimes we must do what we need to do to save ourselves. Not all who have children are paternal/maternal. Some people are just too toxic/abusive to keep in our lives.
You might want to check out the book: " But it's your family." I read it because I was unsure if it was just me ,or the whole family dynamic that was unhealthy. Turns out Iended up highlighting about half the book!! There are definitely some good reasons to keep yourself cut off; and being loving towards yourself.
Thank you for sharing... I relate so much. My father was an alcoholic and had a serious stroke 10 years ago and has been in a nursing home ever since and needs constant care. Alcoholism is a very serious physical, mental, spiritual illness and is so much more complicated and insidious than most people know. I'm sorry for your loss Angie xxx
Beautiful look, Angelica, the combination of the lavender and silver looks so ethereal! I can really relate to what you said about your father. My father died this may of colon cancer after years of treatment. I wasn't even there when he died as I was still on the plane back from my trip to Seoul. I had a feeling though when I left and said goodbye to him that it'd be our last goodbye. We also had a difficult relationship, full of misunderstandings and feelings of rejection. I gave him a letter right before I left in which I told him everything I felt about our relationship and that I still love him no matter what. I'm glad that he died knowing this. But I still regret not giving him the letter earlier so that I could hear his response. However sometimes this is all you can get. It's a tough lesson I learned and I realised once more how much I should cherish every moment I get with the people I love and that I shouldn't leave certain things unspoken. Sorry for the long comment, but maybe my story can help making this clearer to others. :)
Your comments about being along is better than being with the wrong person really struck a chord with me. I got married to the wrong person when I was 21... if I’m being honest I’d probably already fallen out of love before we got married, but we’d been together so long that was just the next step. Fast forward five years and we’re getting divorced. Fast forward another five years and I live alone (well, with my dog), have a successful career and own my house. I’ve never wanted children, and I’ve always been judged for that, or people thought I’d ‘grow out of it’. But I’m very content, and even more sure now that I don’t want children (or another husband!) than I have ever been before!
I'm a bit older than you. Wish could tell young self not to follow boys or spend more than 5 minutes with any jerk❗😌 getting to know myself now is precious and I care so less what people's impressions are of me. My father passed in my 30's,(lung as well) even though he had quit decades before. Mom was the alcoholic. She quit cold turkey, no AA, no self realization. Grumpy at life and people ..looking for more vices yet milder.🙃 My only sibling is special; i need to remain close. It is grUE-ling ¬ all tied up in a bow to get to being healed💫 you seem strong to chose yourself and thrive,best of all share ur wisdom.🌻
No matter how hard it is right now, it will change, this time will pass and you will change in ways you can not even imagin.(For the better, like growing pains) I can promise you that. Just rember you are not alone there are pepole going through similar things and pepole who have been through them already. Never be afriad to ask for help if you need it. blessings be apone you. xxx
I shouldn’t have watched this straight after my therapy session 😭 Seriously though, we have led VERY similar lives 😅 Thank you for sharing 💖 If I could go back and tell myself anything it would be that the world doesn’t revolve around me - but MY world does, and I’m as important as anyone else 💕🐾
Hey Angie I would love for you to talk about friendships, especially about frienships between women! Cause I find that basically every women wants to have good female friends but for some reason those relationships can be so hard - even turn toxic sometimes...maybe you have some thoughts and advice? Much love!!
I lived on my own in my 20's. I soooo enjoyed it. I recommend it to anyone. I had my 2 boys in my 30's and I will turn 49 this year. My past has made me who I am - confident and strong.
“Being alone is better than being with someone who’s not right for you” AMEN! If I could tell my 18 year old self anything (even though it wasn’t thhaaatt long ago) this would be it.
I looooove The Saem's blushes! They were one of the first brands to come out with a yellow blush (which I use as an eyeshadow, haha)--and they have a great color selection. Not to mention they're like 5,000원 (~$4.50) Sidenote~~it's pronounced like 'The sem.' the ㅐ in Korean makes kind of an ae sound. ^^
Find yourself, figure out what makes you truly happy, don’t be afraid to speak up if it’s not along with your morals, friendships and relationships are partnerships, it’s okay, confidence comes with experience. That’s what I would tell my 20 year old self. You can think of a lot of things that you should have done differently in 15 years. Thank you Angie. Beautiful Soul!!💜
I’d really like to see you do your makeup from the very start in real time I wanna see it all. I just really enjoy watching the whole thing come together from blank canvas to full glam . OH a what you do for total full out glam look YASSSSSS PLEASE.
I love hearing the things you talk about or think about!!! There’s so much I’d tell 20 year old me but at the same time I wouldn’t have my kids if I could go back and change anything... they are my world and worth all the pain and suffering I’ve been through! (But technically I’d tell myself don’t drink don’t drink don’t drink!)
I think the Swedish lifestyle is so interesting. I’m curious to know why so many young people are in debt there. Do young people feel pressure to leave home early and be independent? Is it because the cost of living in Sweden is high? Would love to hear your thoughts 😉
I dont necessary think it's that its more expensive to live here as much as it's too easy take out smaller, very expensive, loans and not alot of grown ups teach them how bad it could be for them :/
Well, I'm Danish so not quite the same thing but we're neighbours so things are similar. Cost of living is high here and rentals are expensive and hard to come by. Which is why it's becoming more common to stay at home until 21 - 22. Unless you choose a school far away of cause. Plus there's rules about how much you are allowed to work at the same time if you study at university. I think one of the reasons a lot of kids get into debt is because the laws regading private loan companies was changed a few years ago. They have since flooded the marked with adverticements directed at young people. It has changed a lot in a few years. When I turned 18 8 years ago my bank offered me a loan at 10 %. (No thank you). Now these companies are offering loans to teenagers and the less scammy ones offer an interest of maybe 24% but I have legit seen commercial where the interest is more than 2000 % a year.
Stine Petersen Wow, it’s crazy how they limit your ability to work while in college. It sounds like they’re giving young people no choice. I live in the US, and more and more people here are living with their parents until nearly 30. College loans are a killer here.
@@HAL0kittyable well, uni is free here. So thats great. And we do have the choice to recieve financial aid while studying. It's not easy to live on but it can be done. (you just can't affort the newest iPhone ect) And I do understand the limit on work when you should concentrate of school. I honestly thing the commercials for the loan companies are discusting. They play into the fact that teenagers maybe don't read the fine print and make snap decisions. (or maybe they're drunk) It's all done on the phone. Takes maybe 2 min.
What a beautiful video. I can sooo relate to you. Especially to what you said about your dad. My father passed away a few years ago, suddenly in his sleep and I always feel like I shoukd have used the time with him better. Thank you for sharing. You are a beautiful person in every way... 🌺
Firstly, those lashes are so stunning! I think if I saw them in the package I wouldn't have been interested but they look amazing on. Also it was really, really nice to see you do a single colourful eyeshadow in this video! Sometimes I don't feel like doing complicated looks (and I generally do what I'm feeling when it comes to eyeshadow) and it's really nice to see you do something simple yet colourful. Also, thank you for opening up about your life. I also thought I'd end up with kids in my 20s and I'm now 38. I might still end up with a kid but trying to prioritise my health right now. Both of my grandfather's were alcoholics, although they both died fairly young so never knew them. But I do know this had a massive impact on each of my parents having lived through that. I can understand why you feel the way you do but you are only human so try to be kind and compassionate towards yourself about this. Most people do the best they can. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Well,Hun It will always be that way because I'm 40 and theres even things now I wish I wouldve said to even my self at 35.Believe Me,Alot changes when you realize your aging a bit and all these young girls are just starting out.I looked super young in my early 30's.Everyone would tell Me I looked older when Iwas 19 or 20 than when I turned 30.
Ive had alot of people tell me its stupid to think you cant be alone, why do you think that you have to have a boyfriend?, etc. Im very independent, but its wired in my brain that im happier in a relationship, i dont consciously choose it. Sucks that people put others down for things they cant really control.
I really enjoyed this video! It feels like a friend giving honest advice. I can't relate to being too confident in my 20's, I wish I was more self-assured. Still trying to figure out life, and being alone. Btw, I've been waiting for this eyeshadow look since you first showed it, and had a suspicion it would be this palette. Wish I could get it in a single, I am obsessed! :D
2nd point about love that you made, that was SO good! I watched my friends live that "love" life and wanted NO part of it. I learned many lessons at the expense of others' pain. Easier to learn it like that for me. I don't know why my friends thought they had to be in this kind of relationship so young in life! With all that is out there, all they thought about was "marrying their high school sweetheart" and I was laughing so hard! (Not mean, but seriously...there's way more out there than being in a relationship). When love did find me, (24 years old) I knew in that moment it was the right time and 27 years later, we are still best of friends, and he's still the one who makes my heart quiver when he dances me around the living room for no good reason, kisses the back of my hand for fixing dinner and takes me on these grand adventures to places we've never seen before! Life is good, girl!
You give such good advice. I love listening to you and you do it with a smile. It’s true as we age the things that we think are such big deals are not really not like false friends or things that contribute to our insecurities. We all go through it and sometimes you need to go from point A to get to point B, even if we don’t like or regret point A. A lot of us have stages in our life that we regret but I can tell you as one of your older viewers (50:) things do turn out ok. We just need to do more things to make us happy now, it’s never too late.
Oh Angie I’m so sorry to hear about your dad 😞. My relationship with my dad was a complicated one. He was very hard on me & I felt I could never make him proud so I would try anything to do that. I idolised him really. He was amazing! He travelled the world working, he survived cancer & became a published author. He lit up every room & held people spellbound when he talked (everything I’m not really! Lol). Anyway he got diagnosed with early onset dementia when he was 63 & I was 33. By the time he passed away when I was 40 he didn’t know who I was. You are so right! Life is so short! There’s so much I would change & so much I want to achieve & not put off until tomorrow! One of those things was to start my channel & I’m so proud to say I did that at the age of 50!
When I worked out that I didn't need to go out of my way to make every family member happy, was a huge revelation for me. Negative people can be from within your family just as much as they can be from outside it. There comes a time when you just have to say, I've done all I could, now I need to move on.
Hi Angie, I'm almost 24 and I think me and my friends around this age ARE so serious about careers and life. Like we're legit trying to figure out life. We're seeking answers nobody has to. Whereas also I have friends in their lates 20s and early 30s and we love to fun and be silly!
Angie, my husband is 8 years younger than I am, when we are together in public no one we speak to believes it. He’s an old man, an old soul. I love lilac, lavender, any purple, it looks fabulous. I love your passion for colour, it’s exciting, unusual and brave. Too many influencers still stick to browns and beiges - so so boring! Sending Love from South Africa. 😃💐
Could you recommend a single eyeshadow that is similar to that light purple in this look? I just don’t want to buy another neutral palette for that one purple shadow. Love this look on you! 😊
I just swatched all of my purples and the closet that I could come to that shade is Urban Decay asphyxia from the ud twenty vice reloaded palette and lilac from the smashbo Master class palette color and contour I will try to recreate that look with one of those colors I do t know if you can get either color as a single good luck let us know please
I don’t have anything like that in my collection. 😅 The closest one I can find in my collection is Eerie from Linda Hallberg’s Spectral palette. But I was thinking single shadows like Colourpop’s Howlin, Looxi’s Notice me or Naughty in napa, Lethal Cosmetics Release or Nabla’s Poetry. Don’t know if they come close or not. 😊
Maybe check out Lethal Cosmetics shade Altitude. I think it's one of their new shades. I don't personally have it, but from swatches it seems to be close. And their formula is bomb Edit: Altitude seems more blueish now seeing more pictures of it 🙈
I am at a difficult point in my life and I love to hear you talk about life, decisions and everything that comes with it, I don't have many friends and so its very refreshing to able the listen to someone that has kind of the same view on the world. or maybe you don't, what do I know? i don't know you. But a like to hear you telling about your life, that deep talk doesn't happen with collegues from work so often or just anyone... that made my day a bit more... interesting
I‘m only 22 but boi can I relate. At 18 I thought I was such an adult, now four years later I‘m at university and in a long term relationship but I don‘t feel like that at all anymore. Sometimes I‘m just sitting totally clueless like „How do I adult?“😂
Yes gurl! I knew there was a reason why i love you and gravitate towards you whenever you talk. You basically checked the boxes on pretty much everything I wished i have told my early 20s self. I love u! Keep up the great work
Love the chatty GRWM! How about talking about life in your country vs other places you have lived/visited? Maybe one about what you want for your short term and long term future?
On the topic of clean beauty, I just started getting an ad wherein the spokesperson is talking about the Clean at Sephora campaign. I thought it was interesting that she avoided saying that "clean" doesn't have a clear definition or set of standards in beauty, but instead said something along the lines of "it's a multi-faceted idea that to me means...."
This is really comforting. I’m 19 and I have no idea what I’m doing with my life. I still feel like a kid in some ways but in others I feel like an elderly woman. I’m really afraid to turn 20 this year because your 20s are supposed to be your “best” years and I don’t know if I can handle that pressure
Haha sounds like 20 something Angie and 20 something Mikaela we’re both very serious people. I was for sure! I’ve often thought about what I would tell my younger self and the number one thing is to just enjoy being young. You don’t have to make so many life decisions so quickly. And it’s okay to have fun. 😊
I love these videos where you open up & show your vulnerability. It's so brave & and you are so relatable. It struck a chord with me when you were talking about friendships where you spent all your time talking about them but you were never heard. I was so desperate for friends right up to my mid forties really, that I settled for friendships like that. Ultimately though it just made me feel sad. Nowadays I have just 2 amazing friends in real life (and a few more via TH-cam ). I am so much happier now! I've realised I don't mind being alone & I actually feel less lonely than when I had lots of 'fake friends' 💕
I stopped being in contact with my father after I gave him soooo many chances to keep up the relationship. But he kept on ignoring my messages until the next birthday was to congratulate or christmas. But the biggest thing was finding out about him marrying his girlfriend on facebook after it already happened and not being invited. He never apologized even though he knew how shitty it made me feel. I just want to say to everyone that it's okay to cut people out of your life if they always make you feel like shit and also never apologize or even admit that they did something wrong. Just think about how a person makes you feel and if you don't have any positive feelings left you should think about living life without them.
At 42, I have cut so many toxic people out of my life, including family. I also moved HOURS away from any of my family and friends years and years ago. I think I found my best self when I did that. No one influencing my decisions about life, kids, love, etc. My 20-30 year old self knew nothing... I was doing well for myself, but I knew nothing about life and thought I knew everything.
This video couldn’t have come at a more perfect time for my soon to be 20 self, I was just saying how I feel like I’m still 16 and don’t want to be 20 but this made me feel like it’s okay and to not stress over small things 💓💓 life goes by too fast and we can’t go back in time so keep moving forward. Love you Angie!!!
This was all such good advice, and that eye look was STUNNING on you! Maybe my fave look you've ever done! I want to recreate it now, you stunning fairy goddess!
Thank you for this video! Love your approach and the honesty. 💜💜💜 The part of not trying to be THE adult, being too serious and the boyfriend/life partner thing hit home... I'm in my late thirties and have never felt that young, 'careless' and 'childish' when I was in the early twenties.
Agreed that was be in my 20s to a T , relationships,friends and everything dear 20 year old me stand up for what you want and don’t let people walk all over you 💕
Loved this! If I could pick an age to stay at, it would be 28. At 28, I really knew what i thought I knew at 18, but the body hasn't started to crap out on you yet!😁
Love this beautiful lavender look, Angelica! 😊 💜 The topics you discussed today were excellent. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 I'm so glad that I waited for Mr. Right & married at age 31. It gave me opportunity to be OK with myself first which in turn enabled me to then commit to another person. I'm so sorry for the hurt you've felt over the situation with your father. Addiction is a difficult dynamic to navigate, & when things go awry, we often blame ourselves for the "what ifs." My dad's half-brother (they had the same biological mother) who is 9 years younger has struggled most of his life with alcohol which also led him to be abusive to two of his three children. He & my dad were brought up in the same household, & my dad did everything possible to try & curtail his brother going down that path (including giving up a potentially successful music career which would have required them playing in bars initially). The last time my dad visited his brother & family a couple of years ago (that part of the family lives about 600 miles away), his brother got drunk & verbally attacked him, saying absolutely horrible, untrue things to/about my dad. My parents left early the next morning out of real fear for their own physical safety. He & his brother are on phone-speaking terms again (my dad just felt he needed to forgive despite the lack of an apology/ acknowledgement of what happened), but from observing all this in my own family, I've learned that sometimes you just can't save people from themselves. It's hard to sit back & watch, but we all have consequences (good or bad) for the choices we make. 💔😔🙏
I have tears in my eyes crying with you , I’m sorry for your loss of your Dad it’s so painful sending you hugs . I lost my parents in my twenties ,I’m in my 40’s now . It made me realize how short life is and how precious little moments are , I wish I had more photos more memories more time . So now I try to enjoy all the little things and soak up all memories while I can make them . You look beautiful xoxo take care
Wow. There were so many familiar subjects, it was like talking to myself in the mirror. I'm sorry you had to go through all of that. One of the things I wished I had known in my twenties was to finish my degree. Even though I don't use it now, it would have opened up more doors.
21:34... Totally agree.. I don't talk to my sister anymore because of her behaviour and entitlement. She's almost 30 but acts like she's 13. I haven't seen or spoken to her since December of last year and it was the best decision I've ever made!
I agree with your comments re love. I've never been alone, I went from living at home to getting married. I never learned about myself, I settled and now after 23 years I'm in the process of divorcing. Thanks xxx
Dear Angie, thank for you for being open with us, and being vulnerable, I know it´s not easy , but that´s why we love you, for being your own unique self. Talking about serious things in life are really important at times, even to connect to people . I would tell my younger self, don´t be so harsh to yourself! Be kinder to yourself, yes, life is really hard sometimes, but you are stronger that you think you are! Your friends tell you that you are negative because they don´t understand what are you going through but they love you! Cry, scream , do whatever makes you feel better!!!and most important of all!!! I´m soooo proud of you! while giving myself a big hug, that´s what I needed at that time a little bit of kindness and a hug! .....I understand you, Angie about being too serious with life, but in my case I feel I didn´t have a choice back then. I lost my mom when I was 15. She died from Cancer. After that, my dad got really sick and took care of him during high school and University days. I slept at the hospital many times, while my dad being in a bad mood due the pain, waiting in emergency rooms, while studying .A few years later, he passed away too. --But I still believe life is a wonderful gift and works for us not against us.
Loving the GRWM! Would like more topics like today, talking about things you’ve learned in life, things others might not know but you have knowledge about it, anything in real life that you want to share, would love to hear about your cat - how you picked your cat, also the same about your dog, life lessons you have learned, how you eat or exercise to keep your figure, anything more about life in Sweden (loved that video!), how you met your fiancé (only if you want to share), ... Thank you for opening up and sharing about your father. Life can be so hard but you’ve turned out to be a super incredible person with definite views and opinions. Thankful to have found your channel. 🙏🏻😻💙💙
I love hearing about different cultures. I really enjoyed when you chatted about the Swedish holiday culture. Maybe there are other areas of the Swedish culture you could chat about in a grwm
Gorgeous look, that lavender is amazing! We had similar parents. My dad died of emphysema after a life of pack a day smoking, and my mother was an alcoholic. I understand how you feel about wishing you'd confronted your dad, but he would have needed to be in a headspace to hear it. I tried with my mother, it backfired. Only after the dementia started and she had to go into long-term care and was forced to give up drinking and smoking were we able to have a better relationship-- but she never accepted that her drinking was a problem, even then. It's so hard with addictions, we'll never know who our parents could have been without it.
Thanks for sharing Angie. We have something in common other than our love of beautiful eye shadow!! My dad passed when I was 21. He was an alcoholic and smoker. Died at 52 and we weren't even on speaking terms because I was just as F'd up as he was. I made my peace with it long ago and do have good memories of times I spent with him as a child. You are not alone.
Oh man, my 20 year old self was an idiot 😂 So was my 25 year old self... Hopefully I've got it more together now at 32 but I'll probably look back and be like "nope!"
I appreciate your thoughts in this video so much. I have a father who is very emotionally distant, and somewhat mentally abusive even (friends of mine would say for sure, not somewhat) and I've never had a relationship with him. If you told me I had to call him on his birthday, I'd freeze and ask if I can call when I know he's not home just to leave a message instead to avoid an actual conversation. Rationally, I know there are things he's done for me as a parent that I appreciate, but most if not all of them are finance-related. But in the end, I have to figure out if that means anything since it doesn't exactly translate to a real relationship.
I enjoy hearing about real life topics and learning more about you. I'm sorry about your dad. It's hard losing someone and wishing you had done more. Life is so fast, you're definitely right about that. I think us folks in their 30s have a different perspective. I wish I had my confidence now in my 20s. I would have been unstoppable 😂🤗💖
I wish I could tell my 25 yr old self "don't fall in love with him, find someone better" that would have saved me many years of tears and heartache. I am glad that after we broke up I knew exactly what I didn't want and met my wonderful husband a couple years later 😃 I am 43 now, but also feel 20 something sometimes. I feel I still have many new things to learn 😍
Thank you SO SO SO much for all your amazing and supportive comments. I am so sorry I cannot answer them all, right now it's so hectic with both work and "real life" so TH-cam has been "suffering" a bit. Just know I've read all of it and I love the smart and insightful comments you are leaving!
More people need to hear the message about being alone is ok. I don't know why so many people think you have to be with someone to be happy. I love being single
That is so right
I'm married but growing up I thought I always needed a man to validate Myself,but babygirl grew up and realized I am someone without a Man to!But I love this Man!Qeve been together over a decade.
Agree 100%. You can do stuff by yourself (like solo travel) and still not be lonely. Don't postpone things forever because nobody wants to join you.
Same for relationships: you don't need to be in a relationship to be happy (or have value as a person, because apparently that's how some people see it).
It's also good to cut people that don't make you happy out of your life. Konmari that shit.
It's better to have a small friend group of people you actually like than being "friends with everybody but also not really".
Not everyone is lucky enough to "love being single." I dont think its so much "people think" that its just the feeling of it, its not like a conscious choice to believe oh i have to be with someone to be happy.
Heather J that isn’t luck. It’s something that has to be developed and maintained. And if we’re being honest almost nothing is a conscious choice alone. Our subconscious is always working in the background in all of our decisions. So IF u subconsciously believe the ability to be comfortably alone is “luck” or impossible or whatever or believe that staying or starting relationships out of loneliness or fear of being lonely should be or is a natural subconscious mindset for people I doubt your gonna make much progress.
@@heather_doestruecrime it's not about luck. It's your mindset. A lot of people are brought up that you need to be with someone to be complete, and you need kids to "live fully". I don't feel that way and love when other people can see both sides. Not everyone is meant to be in a relationship and not everyone is meant to be alone. To each their own.
I like your real life topics that aren’t about drama.
That lavender/lilac/ purple shade is INCREDIBLE!!!!
I love purples along this tone
luna girl right?! I couldn’t stop staring!
It has been 15+ years since I walked away from my toxic family... everyone except my grandfather who was loving and supportive until his passing. It was so hard to make that decision, but when I look back at the situation, I now know I had protect myself.
I got married when I was 22 and I was 5 months pregnant. I was in such a hurry to grow up, and never had a chance to to chill out and get to know myself. Now I'm 33 and trying to still get my bachelors degree (19 credit hours is all I have left). Don't be like me. Get to know yourself better, or at least have a better support system if you decide to go down the road I have.
If I could tell myself anything, it's that if you put yourself first, good things will happen. Be confident and put yourself first. I'm hoping that my daughter learns that lesson before life kicks her ass. That's all I want now.
"It's okay to cut people out and I wish I did it sooner" Thanks for this Angie. You look beautiful as always 💜
I think you really brought up some great points: I felt like I knew everything at 18 but at 30 I feel so unsure of everything yet more comfortable in myself and my life choices.
Omg same haha! :D
Same here!
I'm still unsure of myself totally understand.
@jo_ v80 me too but I already know that my younger self would not have listened!
"try not to take it too seriously" - exactly!
I also don‘t get along with one of my close relatives. I get judged for it ALL THE TIME and I hate that people are not even trying to understand the reasons behind this.
I always try to remember for myself that even your relatives are just normal human beings and you cannot possibly get along with everyone. The fact that they are my family does not change this.
Btw I really like you and your videos 😊
I relate to this so much, I get judged all the time by family too, do they not stop to think about how it feels?
Cheshire Cat Girl I wish I knew 😫
You always look so pretty ☺️.
I'm in my late 30's now. If I could tell myself anything when I was a 20 year old baby, I would say don't get married 😂.
hahahaha oh no! XD
Same here, except I was 17! I knew I didn’t want to be with him but I thought it was my only option at the time....and I didn’t want to admit that EVERYONE(neighbors, friends, relatives etc everyone said he is not good for you)was right
I love you Angelica! I just wanted to tell you that and give you a virtual hug! I would really adore having a real-life best friend like you!
Thank you so much Cora!
Couldn’t agree more!❤️
+ 1
Thank you for talking about your personal life. I always find it so interesting as a 20 year old to hear the various experiences and life lessons people learned as a young adult and it’s always so insightful. It helps me feel a lot better about my own struggles and I think it’s great when people are open about it 💕
I think I would have told my 20 year old self that I am beautiful and intelligent. I had such low self esteem in my 20's and made some big mistakes in partners. (I love this purple look💜)
Hearing all of this as a 17 year old girl is exactly what I needed. From the relationship advice to the friendship advice, I’ve never had anyone there to tell me these things. I know it sounds silly but getting over my ex boyfriend is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do and your advice of “just because you fall in love with someone doesn’t mean you’re going to end up with that person” is just what I needed to hear. You are truly like my older, wise sister and I’m so thankful. I think this is my favorite video you’ve ever made. Thank you for everything Angi ❤️
I feel you on the part about your dad. My dad also was an alcoholic and smoked heavily but we don't actually know what killed him eventually (he lived separately, found him late...bla bla bla VERY long story, nobody cares). I had the same guilt for years - what if i could've done something? maybe things would've been different if only i visited more... But the more i think about it - no, there really is nothing anyone could do. He had to have made a choice to want to be better, nobody could do that for him and because of it nothing else we did helped. It has been 17 years and i only now am starting to heal from that guilt...
I wish with all my heart that you'll get there sooner!
Love you very much!
Hey Angie. Thanks for being your beautiful self. Your openness and honesty is so refreshing. I have a lot of family trauma that I am still dealing with as a 40 year old. It doesn't really get easier, you just learn to live with it and feel differently about things.
Not sure if you know this but the blood is thicker than water quote actually is completely opposite. The quote was originally: “The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.” This actually means that blood shed in battle bonds soldiers more strongly than simple genetics. Although we commonly use it to suggest the strength of family ties, it doesn't refer to family at all." My friends and I prefer this version. Those that help you with your journey through life are your real family, blood relations are just that. 💜💜💜💜💜
Your look has me shook! (as usual) 💜 I love hearing you talk about anything. Between your accent, your sassiness, and your (philosophical and beauty) wisdom, I'm here for all of it! Your videos really de-stress me.
Also, you said you wonder if you could've done something more for your dad, that's natural. I've had many people in my life with substance abuse issues. My brother just died a few weeks ago from it. I tried everything I could, even detaching for a while. My first partner died, friends, family members, same thing. There's really not much we can do to change their minds if they don't want help. I think easier availability of recovery methods can help, but they still eventually have to want it enough to do what it takes to heal. Those substances change the brain so much of course, so it makes it so challenging.
Good job on the boundaries with the toxic family member too. I've had to do that with a few. Your funeral story reminded me of my momster, who I'm permanently estranged from. Like you said "life's too short" so no reason for us to endure other's misery unnecessarily.
Best wishes always! 💛
I’ve thought about this a lot, things I wish I could tell myself years ago. And whatever i learned I’ve tried my best to share with my little sisters.
But on another note, so in love with that lavender shade 😍
So true, the older my friends and i get, the sillier we are and the less concerned with others' opinions about us we are.
And, yes, it's so much better to be alone, than in the company if people who are not right for 'you'.
I have two things I feel compelled to share:
First, my father was a drug addict. Every person is different but his attitude was a lot like what you described with your father; no desire to do anything else. In my experience, all the showing up you can possibly do and standing in front of them explaining your thoughts and fears don't matter as much as whatever is going on inside of themselves. I've spent my whole life begging and yelling and crying and it didn't matter to someone who just wanted to do what they were doing. I'm sorry to be so nihilistic about it, but that was my experience. So it's my personal opinion that confronting your father about his problems would have just exchanged one regret for another.
Secondly, I want to thank you. You're helping me deal with a lot of my own anxieties and worries about who I'm gonna be and what I'm able to do when I'm your age. In my culture girls are expected to be married and having kids by max 25 or else we're gonna shrivel up and waste ourselves and our whole lives (because of you're not a mother then what's the point of being a woman, right?) I'm 26 now with no kids (and the possibility of not being able to have them physically, but that's seperate), and while I know that perspective is wrong, there's still a lot of lingering anxiety I get from a lifetime of an imaginary ticking clock and cultural expectations. It's at the point now that I have half-heartedly decided that maybe I just won't have kids, despite wanting them, because maybe by the time I'm stable enough to support them how I want to I'll be too old to have them (not only biologically but also the whole "a 40 year old woman running after their 5 year old child is shameful" aspect that goes along with wanting us to start young). But that's not fair to myself and the reality of being a woman in her mid/late-30s. You've given me such a wonderful example of a healthy, happy woman who's following her own timeline and giving me the support that I cannot and will not find in the people around me and I just want to thank you so much for that.
I cut off my mother from my life when I was 17. EVERYBODY told me "how could you it's your mother you are going to regret this" now I'm in my 30's and I still don't regret it. maybe I will maybe I won't ! and it's my own personal business that people that don't even know her or the situation can't judge ^^
I did that over 15 yrs ago. Best decision of my life! She hasn't changed a bit anyway. Sometimes we must do what we need to do to save ourselves. Not all who have children are paternal/maternal. Some people are just too toxic/abusive to keep in our lives.
You might want to check out the book: " But it's your family." I read it because I was unsure if it was just me ,or the whole family dynamic that was unhealthy. Turns out Iended up highlighting about half the book!! There are definitely some good reasons to keep yourself cut off; and being loving towards yourself.
@@thesnoopydance645 thx Karen, I'll check it out. Many self help books have helped me (some more than others) and that's one I haven't heard of yet. 💛
I could literally listen to you talk about anything! Loving the GRWMs and happy to have more chatty Angie in my life!
Thank you for sharing... I relate so much. My father was an alcoholic and had a serious stroke 10 years ago and has been in a nursing home ever since and needs constant care. Alcoholism is a very serious physical, mental, spiritual illness and is so much more complicated and insidious than most people know. I'm sorry for your loss Angie xxx
Beautiful look, Angelica, the combination of the lavender and silver looks so ethereal!
I can really relate to what you said about your father. My father died this may of colon cancer after years of treatment. I wasn't even there when he died as I was still on the plane back from my trip to Seoul. I had a feeling though when I left and said goodbye to him that it'd be our last goodbye.
We also had a difficult relationship, full of misunderstandings and feelings of rejection. I gave him a letter right before I left in which I told him everything I felt about our relationship and that I still love him no matter what. I'm glad that he died knowing this. But I still regret not giving him the letter earlier so that I could hear his response.
However sometimes this is all you can get. It's a tough lesson I learned and I realised once more how much I should cherish every moment I get with the people I love and that I shouldn't leave certain things unspoken.
Sorry for the long comment, but maybe my story can help making this clearer to others. :)
Your comments about being along is better than being with the wrong person really struck a chord with me. I got married to the wrong person when I was 21... if I’m being honest I’d probably already fallen out of love before we got married, but we’d been together so long that was just the next step. Fast forward five years and we’re getting divorced. Fast forward another five years and I live alone (well, with my dog), have a successful career and own my house. I’ve never wanted children, and I’ve always been judged for that, or people thought I’d ‘grow out of it’. But I’m very content, and even more sure now that I don’t want children (or another husband!) than I have ever been before!
I'm a bit older than you. Wish could tell young self not to follow boys or spend more than 5 minutes with any jerk❗😌 getting to know myself now is precious and I care so less what people's impressions are of me. My father passed in my 30's,(lung as well) even though he had quit decades before. Mom was the alcoholic. She quit cold turkey, no AA, no self realization. Grumpy at life and people ..looking for more vices yet milder.🙃 My only sibling is special; i need to remain close. It is grUE-ling ¬ all tied up in a bow to get to being healed💫 you seem strong to chose yourself and thrive,best of all share ur wisdom.🌻
Girl I’m in my early 20s so tell me lol.. I’ve been going through it
We all do! :D
No matter how hard it is right now, it will change, this time will pass and you will change in ways you can not even imagin.(For the better, like growing pains) I can promise you that. Just rember you are not alone there are pepole going through similar things and pepole who have been through them already. Never be afriad to ask for help if you need it. blessings be apone you. xxx
I shouldn’t have watched this straight after my therapy session 😭 Seriously though, we have led VERY similar lives 😅 Thank you for sharing 💖 If I could go back and tell myself anything it would be that the world doesn’t revolve around me - but MY world does, and I’m as important as anyone else 💕🐾
I wish I enjoyed "me-alone-time" more.
Thank you for interesting and wise things you say in your videos❤
Super cute look😍
Hey Angie I would love for you to talk about friendships, especially about frienships between women! Cause I find that basically every women wants to have good female friends but for some reason those relationships can be so hard - even turn toxic sometimes...maybe you have some thoughts and advice? Much love!!
I know what you mean, I'd like to hear her point of view on this as well.
My women friends are my Posse yes yes yes
I agree with this and it'd be nice to hear it talked about :)
I lived on my own in my 20's. I soooo enjoyed it. I recommend it to anyone. I had my 2 boys in my 30's and I will turn 49 this year. My past has made me who I am - confident and strong.
“Being alone is better than being with someone who’s not right for you” AMEN! If I could tell my 18 year old self anything (even though it wasn’t thhaaatt long ago) this would be it.
Oh, I like how real you and your topics are - relatable on many levels. Hope you're ok and overall don't regret much about.
I looooove The Saem's blushes! They were one of the first brands to come out with a yellow blush (which I use as an eyeshadow, haha)--and they have a great color selection. Not to mention they're like 5,000원 (~$4.50) Sidenote~~it's pronounced like 'The sem.' the ㅐ in Korean makes kind of an ae sound. ^^
Yeah I love mine, I could totally see myself getting another! :D
Find yourself, figure out what makes you truly happy, don’t be afraid to speak up if it’s not along with your morals, friendships and relationships are partnerships, it’s okay, confidence comes with experience. That’s what I would tell my 20 year old self. You can think of a lot of things that you should have done differently in 15 years. Thank you Angie. Beautiful Soul!!💜
I came here after your decluter, that palette looked so amazing....
i need it now!! Ahhh!!! 😱
Thanks for sharing. Discuss whatever makes you comfortable and I'm sure it will be interesting.
As a 22 year old confused as heck in life , i appreciate your advices 😊
I like hearing you talk about anything. It’s like we’re your little TH-cam diary (with the occasional life lesson to learn)
I’d really like to see you do your makeup from the very start in real time I wanna see it all. I just really enjoy watching the whole thing come together from blank canvas to full glam . OH a what you do for total full out glam look YASSSSSS PLEASE.
I love hearing the things you talk about or think about!!!
There’s so much I’d tell 20 year old me but at the same time I wouldn’t have my kids if I could go back and change anything... they are my world and worth all the pain and suffering I’ve been through!
(But technically I’d tell myself don’t drink don’t drink don’t drink!)
I think the Swedish lifestyle is so interesting. I’m curious to know why so many young people are in debt there. Do young people feel pressure to leave home early and be independent? Is it because the cost of living in Sweden is high? Would love to hear your thoughts 😉
I dont necessary think it's that its more expensive to live here as much as it's too easy take out smaller, very expensive, loans and not alot of grown ups teach them how bad it could be for them :/
Well, I'm Danish so not quite the same thing but we're neighbours so things are similar.
Cost of living is high here and rentals are expensive and hard to come by. Which is why it's becoming more common to stay at home until 21 - 22. Unless you choose a school far away of cause. Plus there's rules about how much you are allowed to work at the same time if you study at university.
I think one of the reasons a lot of kids get into debt is because the laws regading private loan companies was changed a few years ago. They have since flooded the marked with adverticements directed at young people.
It has changed a lot in a few years. When I turned 18 8 years ago my bank offered me a loan at 10 %. (No thank you). Now these companies are offering loans to teenagers and the less scammy ones offer an interest of maybe 24% but I have legit seen commercial where the interest is more than 2000 % a year.
Stine Petersen Wow, it’s crazy how they limit your ability to work while in college. It sounds like they’re giving young people no choice. I live in the US, and more and more people here are living with their parents until nearly 30. College loans are a killer here.
@@HAL0kittyable well, uni is free here. So thats great. And we do have the choice to recieve financial aid while studying. It's not easy to live on but it can be done. (you just can't affort the newest iPhone ect) And I do understand the limit on work when you should concentrate of school. I honestly thing the commercials for the loan companies are discusting. They play into the fact that teenagers maybe don't read the fine print and make snap decisions. (or maybe they're drunk) It's all done on the phone. Takes maybe 2 min.
What a beautiful video. I can sooo relate to you. Especially to what you said about your dad. My father passed away a few years ago, suddenly in his sleep and I always feel like I shoukd have used the time with him better. Thank you for sharing. You are a beautiful person in every way... 🌺
Firstly, those lashes are so stunning! I think if I saw them in the package I wouldn't have been interested but they look amazing on. Also it was really, really nice to see you do a single colourful eyeshadow in this video! Sometimes I don't feel like doing complicated looks (and I generally do what I'm feeling when it comes to eyeshadow) and it's really nice to see you do something simple yet colourful.
Also, thank you for opening up about your life. I also thought I'd end up with kids in my 20s and I'm now 38. I might still end up with a kid but trying to prioritise my health right now.
Both of my grandfather's were alcoholics, although they both died fairly young so never knew them. But I do know this had a massive impact on each of my parents having lived through that. I can understand why you feel the way you do but you are only human so try to be kind and compassionate towards yourself about this. Most people do the best they can. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Well,Hun It will always be that way because I'm 40 and theres even things now I wish I wouldve said to even my self at 35.Believe Me,Alot changes when you realize your aging a bit and all these young girls are just starting out.I looked super young in my early 30's.Everyone would tell Me I looked older when Iwas 19 or 20 than when I turned 30.
Ive had alot of people tell me its stupid to think you cant be alone, why do you think that you have to have a boyfriend?, etc. Im very independent, but its wired in my brain that im happier in a relationship, i dont consciously choose it. Sucks that people put others down for things they cant really control.
It's your life. If your not in control of it than who is???
I really enjoyed this video! It feels like a friend giving honest advice. I can't relate to being too confident in my 20's, I wish I was more self-assured. Still trying to figure out life, and being alone. Btw, I've been waiting for this eyeshadow look since you first showed it, and had a suspicion it would be this palette. Wish I could get it in a single, I am obsessed! :D
2nd point about love that you made, that was SO good! I watched my friends live that "love" life and wanted NO part of it. I learned many lessons at the expense of others' pain. Easier to learn it like that for me. I don't know why my friends thought they had to be in this kind of relationship so young in life! With all that is out there, all they thought about was "marrying their high school sweetheart" and I was laughing so hard! (Not mean, but seriously...there's way more out there than being in a relationship). When love did find me, (24 years old) I knew in that moment it was the right time and 27 years later, we are still best of friends, and he's still the one who makes my heart quiver when he dances me around the living room for no good reason, kisses the back of my hand for fixing dinner and takes me on these grand adventures to places we've never seen before! Life is good, girl!
You give such good advice. I love listening to you and you do it with a smile. It’s true as we age the things that we think are such big deals are not really not like false friends or things that contribute to our insecurities. We all go through it and sometimes you need to go from point A to get to point B, even if we don’t like or regret point A. A lot of us have stages in our life that we regret but I can tell you as one of your older viewers (50:) things do turn out ok. We just need to do more things to make us happy now, it’s never too late.
Oh Angie I’m so sorry to hear about your dad 😞. My relationship with my dad was a complicated one. He was very hard on me & I felt I could never make him proud so I would try anything to do that. I idolised him really. He was amazing! He travelled the world working, he survived cancer & became a published author. He lit up every room & held people spellbound when he talked (everything I’m not really! Lol). Anyway he got diagnosed with early onset dementia when he was 63 & I was 33. By the time he passed away when I was 40 he didn’t know who I was. You are so right! Life is so short! There’s so much I would change & so much I want to achieve & not put off until tomorrow! One of those things was to start my channel & I’m so proud to say I did that at the age of 50!
When I worked out that I didn't need to go out of my way to make every family member happy, was a huge revelation for me. Negative people can be from within your family just as much as they can be from outside it. There comes a time when you just have to say, I've done all I could, now I need to move on.
Hi Angie, I'm almost 24 and I think me and my friends around this age ARE so serious about careers and life. Like we're legit trying to figure out life. We're seeking answers nobody has to. Whereas also I have friends in their lates 20s and early 30s and we love to fun and be silly!
It is better to be alone than with the wrong person. Sorry to hear about your Dad. May he Rest In Peace.
Angie, my husband is 8 years younger than I am, when we are together in public no one we speak to believes it. He’s an old man, an old soul.
I love lilac, lavender, any purple, it looks fabulous. I love your passion for colour, it’s exciting, unusual and brave. Too many influencers still stick to browns and beiges - so so boring! Sending
Love from South Africa. 😃💐
Could you recommend a single eyeshadow that is similar to that light purple in this look? I just don’t want to buy another neutral palette for that one purple shadow. Love this look on you! 😊
Same for me Maria I was just thinking do I have a purple like that
I just swatched all of my purples and the closet that I could come to that shade is Urban Decay asphyxia from the ud twenty vice reloaded palette and lilac from the smashbo
Master class palette color and contour I will try to recreate that look with one of those colors I do t know if you can get either color as a single good luck let us know please
I don’t have anything like that in my collection. 😅 The closest one I can find in my collection is Eerie from Linda Hallberg’s Spectral palette. But I was thinking single shadows like Colourpop’s Howlin, Looxi’s Notice me or Naughty in napa, Lethal Cosmetics Release or Nabla’s Poetry. Don’t know if they come close or not. 😊
Maybe check out Lethal Cosmetics shade Altitude. I think it's one of their new shades. I don't personally have it, but from swatches it seems to be close. And their formula is bomb
Edit: Altitude seems more blueish now seeing more pictures of it 🙈
I think the closest color I have in my collection is colourpop's super shock shadow in daddy. Although I think it leans more cool tone. Try it out.
I am at a difficult point in my life and I love to hear you talk about life, decisions and everything that comes with it, I don't have many friends and so its very refreshing to able the listen to someone that has kind of the same view on the world. or maybe you don't, what do I know? i don't know you. But a like to hear you telling about your life, that deep talk doesn't happen with collegues from work so often or just anyone... that made my day a bit more... interesting
I‘m only 22 but boi can I relate. At 18 I thought I was such an adult, now four years later I‘m at university and in a long term relationship but I don‘t feel like that at all anymore. Sometimes I‘m just sitting totally clueless like „How do I adult?“😂
#relateable XD
Oh, I feel you! I am still not feeling like an adult. But most of the time I am okay with this! And: I love the seagulls in your videos!
Yes gurl! I knew there was a reason why i love you and gravitate towards you whenever you talk. You basically checked the boxes on pretty much everything I wished i have told my early 20s self. I love u! Keep up the great work
I love this! Getting to know myself! That would have been amazing advice to give my younger self ❤️
I totally related to what you were saying about friendships! I look back sometimes and just shake my head at young Samantha
Love the chatty GRWM! How about talking about life in your country vs other places you have lived/visited? Maybe one about what you want for your short term and long term future?
On the topic of clean beauty, I just started getting an ad wherein the spokesperson is talking about the Clean at Sephora campaign. I thought it was interesting that she avoided saying that "clean" doesn't have a clear definition or set of standards in beauty, but instead said something along the lines of "it's a multi-faceted idea that to me means...."
This is really comforting. I’m 19 and I have no idea what I’m doing with my life. I still feel like a kid in some ways but in others I feel like an elderly woman. I’m really afraid to turn 20 this year because your 20s are supposed to be your “best” years and I don’t know if I can handle that pressure
Haha sounds like 20 something Angie and 20 something Mikaela we’re both very serious people. I was for sure! I’ve often thought about what I would tell my younger self and the number one thing is to just enjoy being young. You don’t have to make so many life decisions so quickly. And it’s okay to have fun. 😊
I love these videos where you open up & show your vulnerability. It's so brave & and you are so relatable. It struck a chord with me when you were talking about friendships where you spent all your time talking about them but you were never heard. I was so desperate for friends right up to my mid forties really, that I settled for friendships like that. Ultimately though it just made me feel sad. Nowadays I have just 2 amazing friends in real life (and a few more via TH-cam ). I am so much happier now! I've realised I don't mind being alone & I actually feel less lonely than when I had lots of 'fake friends' 💕
I stopped being in contact with my father after I gave him soooo many chances to keep up the relationship. But he kept on ignoring my messages until the next birthday was to congratulate or christmas. But the biggest thing was finding out about him marrying his girlfriend on facebook after it already happened and not being invited. He never apologized even though he knew how shitty it made me feel.
I just want to say to everyone that it's okay to cut people out of your life if they always make you feel like shit and also never apologize or even admit that they did something wrong. Just think about how a person makes you feel and if you don't have any positive feelings left you should think about living life without them.
At 42, I have cut so many toxic people out of my life, including family. I also moved HOURS away from any of my family and friends years and years ago. I think I found my best self when I did that. No one influencing my decisions about life, kids, love, etc. My 20-30 year old self knew nothing... I was doing well for myself, but I knew nothing about life and thought I knew everything.
This video couldn’t have come at a more perfect time for my soon to be 20 self, I was just saying how I feel like I’m still 16 and don’t want to be 20 but this made me feel like it’s okay and to not stress over small things 💓💓 life goes by too fast and we can’t go back in time so keep moving forward. Love you Angie!!!
Wow thank you for being so honest and candid! Love the look 😘
I loved hearing your story 💜 I’d love to hear your experiences from the restaurant. Ooh and that lavender purple with the white liner. Woah 💜🤤🥰
This was all such good advice, and that eye look was STUNNING on you! Maybe my fave look you've ever done! I want to recreate it now, you stunning fairy goddess!
Omg what you said about not feeling like an adult really resonates with me. Thank you so much for this 💛
Thank you for this video! Love your approach and the honesty. 💜💜💜
The part of not trying to be THE adult, being too serious and the boyfriend/life partner thing hit home... I'm in my late thirties and have never felt that young, 'careless' and 'childish' when I was in the early twenties.
Agreed that was be in my 20s to a T , relationships,friends and everything dear 20 year old me stand up for what you want and don’t let people walk all over you 💕
Loved this! If I could pick an age to stay at, it would be 28. At 28, I really knew what i thought I knew at 18, but the body hasn't started to crap out on you yet!😁
Love this beautiful lavender look, Angelica! 😊 💜 The topics you discussed today were excellent. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 I'm so glad that I waited for Mr. Right & married at age 31. It gave me opportunity to be OK with myself first which in turn enabled me to then commit to another person. I'm so sorry for the hurt you've felt over the situation with your father. Addiction is a difficult dynamic to navigate, & when things go awry, we often blame ourselves for the "what ifs." My dad's half-brother (they had the same biological mother) who is 9 years younger has struggled most of his life with alcohol which also led him to be abusive to two of his three children. He & my dad were brought up in the same household, & my dad did everything possible to try & curtail his brother going down that path (including giving up a potentially successful music career which would have required them playing in bars initially). The last time my dad visited his brother & family a couple of years ago (that part of the family lives about 600 miles away), his brother got drunk & verbally attacked him, saying absolutely horrible, untrue things to/about my dad. My parents left early the next morning out of real fear for their own physical safety. He & his brother are on phone-speaking terms again (my dad just felt he needed to forgive despite the lack of an apology/ acknowledgement of what happened), but from observing all this in my own family, I've learned that sometimes you just can't save people from themselves. It's hard to sit back & watch, but we all have consequences (good or bad) for the choices we make. 💔😔🙏
I have tears in my eyes crying with you , I’m sorry for your loss of your Dad it’s so painful sending you hugs . I lost my parents in my twenties ,I’m in my 40’s now . It made me realize how short life is and how precious little moments are , I wish I had more photos more memories more time . So now I try to enjoy all the little things and soak up all memories while I can make them . You look beautiful xoxo take care
Your grwm video's are really fun. I like the down to earth aspect to it.
Wow. There were so many familiar subjects, it was like talking to myself in the mirror. I'm sorry you had to go through all of that. One of the things I wished I had known in my twenties was to finish my degree. Even though I don't use it now, it would have opened up more doors.
21:34... Totally agree.. I don't talk to my sister anymore because of her behaviour and entitlement. She's almost 30 but acts like she's 13. I haven't seen or spoken to her since December of last year and it was the best decision I've ever made!
I agree with your comments re love. I've never been alone, I went from living at home to getting married. I never learned about myself, I settled and now after 23 years I'm in the process of divorcing.
Thanks xxx
I wish you all the happiness for the time that's to come!
@@AngelicaNyqvist thank you bella xxx
Dear Angie, thank for you for being open with us, and being vulnerable, I know it´s not easy , but that´s why we love you, for being your own unique self. Talking about serious things in life are really important at times, even to connect to people . I would tell my younger self, don´t be so harsh to yourself! Be kinder to yourself, yes, life is really hard sometimes, but you are stronger that you think you are! Your friends tell you that you are negative because they don´t understand what are you going through but they love you! Cry, scream , do whatever makes you feel better!!!and most important of all!!! I´m soooo proud of you! while giving myself a big hug, that´s what I needed at that time a little bit of kindness and a hug! .....I understand you, Angie about being too serious with life, but in my case I feel I didn´t have a choice back then. I lost my mom when I was 15. She died from Cancer. After that, my dad got really sick and took care of him during high school and University days. I slept at the hospital many times, while my dad being in a bad mood due the pain, waiting in emergency rooms, while studying .A few years later, he passed away too. --But I still believe life is a wonderful gift and works for us not against us.
I have not seen these palletes and I'm super excited to see this video!
Loving the GRWM! Would like more topics like today, talking about things you’ve learned in life, things others might not know but you have knowledge about it, anything in real life that you want to share, would love to hear about your cat - how you picked your cat, also the same about your dog, life lessons you have learned, how you eat or exercise to keep your figure, anything more about life in Sweden (loved that video!), how you met your fiancé (only if you want to share), ... Thank you for opening up and sharing about your father. Life can be so hard but you’ve turned out to be a super incredible person with definite views and opinions. Thankful to have found your channel. 🙏🏻😻💙💙
I love your GRWM videos, they're never shallow.
I love hearing about different cultures. I really enjoyed when you chatted about the Swedish holiday culture. Maybe there are other areas of the Swedish culture you could chat about in a grwm
Gorgeous look, that lavender is amazing! We had similar parents. My dad died of emphysema after a life of pack a day smoking, and my mother was an alcoholic. I understand how you feel about wishing you'd confronted your dad, but he would have needed to be in a headspace to hear it. I tried with my mother, it backfired. Only after the dementia started and she had to go into long-term care and was forced to give up drinking and smoking were we able to have a better relationship-- but she never accepted that her drinking was a problem, even then. It's so hard with addictions, we'll never know who our parents could have been without it.
Thanks for sharing Angie. We have something in common other than our love of beautiful eye shadow!! My dad passed when I was 21. He was an alcoholic and smoker. Died at 52 and we weren't even on speaking terms because I was just as F'd up as he was. I made my peace with it long ago and do have good memories of times I spent with him as a child. You are not alone.
Oh man, my 20 year old self was an idiot 😂 So was my 25 year old self... Hopefully I've got it more together now at 32 but I'll probably look back and be like "nope!"
I appreciate your thoughts in this video so much. I have a father who is very emotionally distant, and somewhat mentally abusive even (friends of mine would say for sure, not somewhat) and I've never had a relationship with him. If you told me I had to call him on his birthday, I'd freeze and ask if I can call when I know he's not home just to leave a message instead to avoid an actual conversation. Rationally, I know there are things he's done for me as a parent that I appreciate, but most if not all of them are finance-related. But in the end, I have to figure out if that means anything since it doesn't exactly translate to a real relationship.
Thanks for talking about serious topics! Life isn't always easy breezy and pretending that it is is just being ignorant
Gorgeous look as always 😘
Damn that pigment is EVERYTHING sooo beautiful
I enjoy hearing about real life topics and learning more about you. I'm sorry about your dad. It's hard losing someone and wishing you had done more. Life is so fast, you're definitely right about that. I think us folks in their 30s have a different perspective. I wish I had my confidence now in my 20s. I would have been unstoppable 😂🤗💖
I really like this look and I´m sorry about your dad, ❤️ thank you for sharing these personally things, you are great!💖
Love the shade of the eyeshadow and that orchid blush is beautiful!! 🌸💕🌸👍🏻
I’m loving your grwms! It’s so nice to hear your thoughts on different topics 😊
Love this purple eyeshadow look!
I wish I could tell my 25 yr old self "don't fall in love with him, find someone better" that would have saved me many years of tears and heartache. I am glad that after we broke up I knew exactly what I didn't want and met my wonderful husband a couple years later 😃 I am 43 now, but also feel 20 something sometimes. I feel I still have many new things to learn 😍
