@@elena.deinhammer I do the same thing. For me, looking as good as I can helps me to hide my pain from people and make it appear like I have it all together when I'm falling apart.
That most of my days 😔 I’m trying to change that Even tho it’s hard to put effort into my presentation initially, I do find that getting dressed up and putting on make up actually makes me feel a bit better ^^

You’re right, it is the way of the world. That doesn’t mean it’s worth following. Everyone can use their own judgement about what they choose to value. I don’t think chasing youthful appearances is going to impact the would as much as appreciating mature beauty. I’m glad to be blessed with a significant other that will appreciate my outward appearance well after I lose my youth. I’m glad my partner is willing to reject norms with me. I hope everyone can find that kind of peace of mind, no matter how they get there.
Abraham’s Sarah was so hot, he had to lie to protect himself from the king who coveted her 😂 ...and she was already old! lol. Lots of beautiful women are older. They’re just not as appreciated in mainstream media
Embracing how you look naturally is so much easier than working against it - I'm pale with curly black hair, it would be exhausting to chase the tan blonde look! Of course women like to play with their appearance but there's a difference between just putting on makeup and painting on a whole new face. Embrace and enhance what you have!
CPT B Not always though. I have medium-pale skin with naturally black curly hair, but it didn’t suit me. Once I dyed my hair light brown and blow dried my hair straight once a week, I got a lot more attention and I also felt more confident. I agree with your overall sentiment
Black hair and pale skin is really beautiful. I see so many girls who put foundation several shades darker, and lighten their hair in attempt to look better but they only end up looking worse imo.
@@MrsMidwest Lol what?? Your hair is not ashy at all, that is a lovely rich golden blonde! Looks great and really compliments your skin and eye color. :)
@@iloveyou-pm4tj Ur roots always be darker than ur ends. Especially if ur hair is not dyed. No matter ur hair colour. And blond hair changes shades due to lightning very drastically.
I actually found your page accidentally from a hater page that was suggested to me. I began watching this video because of the deceiving title. But she was saying how you were a bit crazy for your ideas. Immediately went to your page because I agree with you so much! I love being a homemaker, millennial, feminine, woman! So grateful for your haters who led me to your video! Feel like we are friends who have never met!
I like how your content is reasonable, accessible, and realistically applicable without just repeating the same things that channels normally do when they address aspects of femininity.
you are the best lady ever. DO NOT let anyone stop you. You inspire thousands to be the best ladies they can be. YOU INSPIRE ME. Forever thankful. God loves you
hello, I'm almost 14 and I want my life to be a bit more organised and less chaotic. your videos are one of my wake up call. I just discovered you through one of your videos and now I watched 3 videos from you now. really enjoy the way you talk, how you give actual useful advice, etc. hopefully 2020 will be a year of huge life improvement for me. 2020 here I come to be a better person!
potato_215 me too! I struggle with body image and feeling confident with my features, and with school and stress, I rarely feel like putting effort into my appearance and it just makes me feel worse. So I’m hoping 2020 will be the year I come into myself.
Love your channel, I love fashion, I'm a student in fashion design and a fashion youtuber, and I love all of your advices, just so refreshing to see someone with a feminine and elegant style ❤️
I'm not entirely sure how to say this. I saw a reaction video to the Mrs Midwest channel that was very negative. I've seen a fair amount of reaction videos and something just kinda struck me as sketchy so I went down to the comments sections which was glowing with praise to this woman. Everyone said she had been misrepresented and she was a very positive person. I've bounced around the channel to check it out myself, I've seen I think ten videos now. While I'm personally not interested in getting married or being a homemaker - I do really appreciate the approach to these topics that Mrs Midwest takes. There seems to be a stronger focus on community, and if this is right for you, and a lot of realistic tips that could be applied to a variety of women in a variety of situations. So I'm not exactly the demographic here, but I do appreciate the positive and very practical approach to this brand of content. I think you are doing a fantastic job and from what I've seen of the comments you've grown a real community of women here. I think it is difficult for women who want this lifestyle to talk openly about it in this day and age. It's seen differently and almost as a slight of character. So I think it's wonderful that you all have each other and this channel to talk about ways to navigate the life you have chosen for yourself. I hope you keep up the good work and be blessed and be happy!
Some people are just hateful for the sake of being hateful, but most of those people who made those videos just said those negative things things because they are more progressive and believe her message is damaging to women. I don’t think they understand that TH-cam doesn’t force you to watch anything, you click on the videos and watch them for yourself. YOU subscribe to the channel. It’s obvious who the demographic is for her videos, I don’t understand why they waste time making videos about how horrible they think she is just because they don’t agree with her.
I don't see the point in creating content purely for the need of hating or turning down others, that hole concept is sketchy, no matter what they are talking about

I love all these! Looking back, I started a transformation when I was about 17 or 18, and I gradually implemented all these things myself, daily skincare, learning about makeup and fashion, changing my diet, exercising, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE LIPSTICK! it's a great mood lift and very classy, and yes even giving my brows a makeover, I have dark bushy brows and just keeping them groomed made a huge difference. I'm 20 now, and I'm not where I want to be yet, but I genuinely enjoy the journey of self-improvement, and when I look back at where I started, I'm a little bit stunned at how far I've come. I'm grateful to ladies like you who inspire, encourage, and educate others.
I’ve been subscribed to your channel for a while now, and recently I saw these videos (especially by Jaclyn Glenn) calling you toxic. These people took everything you said out of context. I definitely do not agree with them. You are one of the sweetest, most kind people I’ve ever seen. Your channel is so unique in 2019 and it’s so refreshing. Keep going :)
This is honestly such a good video idea. I’m 29 and have never looked hotter- if you saw me a decade ago, you’d understand the full impact of this transformation. And it’s nice to share tried and true tips. To this video I would add, in terms of staying fit and lean, happiness is the ultimate fat burner. When I moved to Florida I was instantly happier, I was in a place that made me want to spend a lot of time outside, and less time idly eating. I was getting lots of sunshine, exercise, and experiencing less overall stress and able to sleep earlier. I lost 20 pounds in 3 months after moving to a place I loved- I didn’t do anything extreme, like restrict calories or eliminate food products like sugar, dairy, alcohol, etc. But in general I do eat less and I make most of my meals at home. .
Same, I stopped dying my hair 2 years ago and realized it looks best on me 😄 Been getting more compliments now because it looks healthier too, not to mention low maintenance and budget-friendly 💖
There's a legend that you might encourage women that write a comment early... Discipline is the key to so much in this world. I'm starting a glow up journey. ❤️
Pretty Lady! It is such a relief to see a young woman who has self-assurance and confidence along with modesty! Keep it up darling. Very refreshing and happy to see
I like how you explained inner beauty is more important in the beginning. I love your outlook on beauty, and just your outlook on taking care of yourself. I’m going through what you went through before your glow up 😂 I’ve noticed lately I need to honestly start taking care of myself regardless of what I’m going through. Thanks for your videos girl EDIT : 2years later after applying what I’ve learned from your channel. My husband friends and family have all noticed the effort that I put into my beauty. My husband loves it. And it has stemmed into so many other areas of my life 💕💕
I get my hair trimmed every 6-8 weeks and it definitely has made a HUGE difference and my hair is now longer :) I go to the gym every morning. My next step in my glow up is working on what meals I am consuming every day. I never skip breakfast but perhaps I need to have a healthier lunch/dinner :) Thank you so much for creating this video.
Lili 406 I actually don’t recommend you use this color system. It is very inaccurate, since it focuses on hair color, eye color and skin color; rather than skin tone and brightness itself. You should check out Merriam’s Style channel, she has videos on color analysis and palettes. It changed my life!
First video I've ever seen of yours. I saw Jaclyn Glenn's video first, and while I appreciate her opinions most of the time, I do think she was twisting your words a bit. I think you're such a cutie, and have a calming air about you
yes to Korean skin-care! (as an African-American woman!), such a wealth and helpful information, in their skin culture. love it. I also like to follow aestheticians on Instagram. thank you for the video :-)
Caitlyn I've been following your skincare tips and I'm noticing such a difference. I do live in a big city and its very polluted but as long as I stick to your tips my skin is a lot more cooperative. Thank you so much!🙏
Ever since I have started watching you and applying your advice to my life ,embracibg my femininity, everyone around me have been complementing my personality and style .Yesterday ,A colleague commented that she has never seen a girl like me ,another speaking as to how she is impressed by my personality and honestly that made me so grateful to you ,Caitlyn. ❤❤❤
So inspirational ! I totally relate on going through a difficult time and not caring about appearance anymore. I was in a very difficult state mentally and I am now getting better so I am trying to glow up. Thanks for the motivation, you're so sweet and pretty, keep up the good work !
I ended up becoming a feminine goth and it suits me so well because I naturally am pale and my hair is jet black. I wanted to dye it blonde but it just never fit me
0,4% dislikes and 99,6% likes; you’re doing amazing love, keep up the good work !! love you doll x also i love how you’re wearing a hoodie but somehow still look put together
i would like to say, you say things i dont agree with, you do things i dont agree with, but i enjoy your channel, because you do seem very kind. I really appreciate when i can watch someones video whos views i might not agree on and still not feel judged and feel welcomed, its refreshing
I didn't make my appearance a priority until recently and I'm glad I did it. I glowed and continue to, glow up internally and it has transmuted to outside. TH-cam and content creators like yourself have CHANGED MY LIFE! The double cleansing is the truth!
Mrs Midwest aw soo sweet of you! And yes i toootally am on board with you for having lip color. makes such a difference! matches so nicely with your light spring skin tone! 🥰🥰
This is my very first comment on TH-cam. I have watched all of your TH-cam Mrs West. I comment this before I watch it. I just want to say thank you 😊 🥰
I have to applaud you for doing such a wonderful job in your personal growth and beauty .I watched your other videos and the fact that you seeked help, to help yourself is commendable. I love your videos and feel that I can share them with my daughter's without the fear of steering them in the wrong direction. Keep up the great work on yourself and know that your always growing and changing. Your off to a blessed future . Continue being the best you possible and sharing your understanding of personal growth with people . You have no idea how blessed you are to have reached this level of maturity and personal understanding of what it is to find yourself. This is just the beginning. There's nothing you can't accomplish. Sending you happy wishes and joyful applause. So proud of you !
Caitlin I love watching your videos! You are always so positive and uplifting! It gets tiring listening to videos on here that are always drowning in complaints or crude stories. I really enjoy how genuine your content is :) Please keep it going!! God bless!
Watching this video since the first time you posted it and I share that learning my body type and color season was a game changer!! I feel like the whole color season thing is something that people have never even heard of. And girl I miss your videos so much. I’m praying for you often that your getting through this season of your life. Miss you!!
Love SO many of your points on this video. Thank you for inspiring us. I do wish you’d include before/after pics during your video next time! They add so much IMPACT! ❤️
I sub’d based off this video. I know physical isn’t everything, but I’ve definitely learned how much it contributes to your confidence level & people FEEL that about you!
Thank you so much , this is so inspiring. I love how you explain we should embrace our natural beauty and simply highlight and work with our features rather than trying to be something else eg contouring to get the Kim K look.
I’m so glad I found your channel! ❤️ I have a similar story. I never used to take care of myself because I was in such emotional turmoil. I had horrendous acne from stress, I was 10 pounds underweight, etc. It literally me nearly dying in a car accident for me to start changing my life. I started getting my life back on track about 2 years ago and I feel like a night and day different person - My acne scars are almost completely gone, I’m back to a healthy weight, I’m eating healthy and exercising, showering every day and washing my face 2x a day and taking care of my hair! Learning a good skin care routine for my skin & make up application tips were some of the first things I started doing to turn my life around! God is good. Sending you love from California! ❤️
I watched this video last year . It is so difficult for me to get out of my nerdy comfort zone. But I've accomplished first part (skin care routine) I think by next year I can do more
I was looking for this type of tips for months now, and i couldn’t find it anywhere, and now i found out this video. Im not a type of woman who has this womanish energy and i didn’t knew how to change it. We need more videos like this. Thank you, with all my heart. ❤️
Brows are so important!! When I first started filling my brows, my friends and family thought I was weird, but it does make such a difference and I love it! I've found that a sharper, more defined brow adds some definition to my very round, soft classic face.
that’s so good you have been able to embrace your real hair. I made the big decision to chop off my grow out of platinum and gray hair that was toned to be blended in. It was pretty but omg I’m living in the shorter hair I’ve ever had. But I blunt cut it!!! And yes girl, I’m doing a shit ton of walking and doing something similar. I hold weight in my face too and I want to lose this weight. Ugh so proud of you
I love this video, it was really fun and made me feel proud of my femininity. I have been a silent viewer watching your channel since March and I am genuinely so happy your channel reach so many subscribers. Your videos really helped me to embrace my femininity again, your a blessed soul :)
A get ready with me (GRWM) would be lovely. Also, for fun would you consider a Day in the life of a 50’s housewife? Maybe implement some routines that your grandmothers used to do.
I absolutely love this video. It hit on a lot of things I've been struggling with for a minute now, with outer beauty. I went through a rough mental patch starting in middle school, and I've been in high school now starting on my 3rd year. My mental state has been improved and now I'm just trying to improve my physical state. So thank you for this video 💙💙💙
Went through a tough couple of years..at some point chopped off all my hair (a pixie) wich looked good but i didnt feel like myself anymore. Gained a bunch of weight..got into a relationship just to feel loved and at some point it all snapped.. i had a month of mental breakdowns ,panick attacks .. finally decided to take my life under control; quit meat and dairy for the most part and started eating veggies and fruits and grains , i also began walking (lost 9kg since) Started taking meds for my acne and growing out my hair ..and i feel like im on the right track and your channel helping me to be more connected to my femininity since ive cut of my hair..)))
*TWINS* I started my Glow Up in 2017 too but it has been a very slow process due to environment. You need a certain amount of mental strength to deal w/ ppl who want you to "be and look like them". I learned make up application and it changed my life b/c forced me to engage in other other of my body due to having to look in the mirror. You cannot ignore yourself when you see it first hand. I use to be a size 18 but now I'm a size 10 (size 8 on good days lol). For the longest I thought I was an overweight "ruler shape" or a arkward spoon shape with no hips b/c I couldn't see my shape. After I lost weight I got measured by my costume director (I got stage costume design as an executive) and he told me that I was an hourglass and if in lost more weight that it will be even more obvious. I could NOT believe thatI got a good bra fitting which is what I needed b/c I had been wearing bras that were too small (I'm a 32 D and b/c I'm on the smaller end if the Ds it's confusing when you're a teenager when all the sister sizes lol My best sister size is a 38 B as of now). My mom relaxed my hair when I was 2 or 3 years old (I have curly wavy hair by the way but my mom is just crazy😭) so it always broke off until I left her house and grew it out...but then I tried to go blonde and it looked nice until...it broke off even more then I tried to dye over it with her black dye (my hair has never been that dark) and it make things worst...then I had an issue with contaminated water in one of my residencies and that screwed my skin up and my hair lolololol. On the bright side my hair is at least shoulder length lol. My mood has been very down this month and my exercising suffered. I will be increasing my working outs b/c my Glow Up journey is not over yet. Thank you for doing this video Caitlyn👏💖💯
Mrs. Midwest, your hair always looks so voluminous and shiny. As a girl with fine hair also, can you let us know what products you use to style your hair? Also, I would love to see a video on your best makeup tips/advice. You always look so classy and lovely!
I feel like you’d really enjoy the TH-cam channel AlyArt. Also, I know exactly what you’re talking about in terms of just trying to mentally survive. I had some kind of breakdown and cut all my beautiful hair off LOL 😭 Now I’m working on growing it back longer.
P. S. A-line skirts that go past knee length are my favourite too!!! I have bigger shoulders so I have a suspicion that the skirts balance it out on the bottom and that’s why I always feel so so pretty when I wear them ❤️❤️ your outfits highlight on Instagram is my number one inspiration, love you so much!!
Yes AlyArt is so good! MerriamStyle too, she has a great and simple colouring system I think, where you don't have too many types just a spectrum with 4 types.
@@gretas6794 That is amazing! Thank you for mentioning what you like on my Instagram as well. It's helpful for me to know what's helpful for all ya'll! We are skirted kindred spirits ;)
Yes I love Aly Art! Great recommendation. She is so no-nonsense and tells the honest truth! I looooove that Eastern European/Russian mentality. And she breaks down all the aesthetic and visual reasons why something works or doesn't. She is a gem!
I lovee how you explained how outer beauty is not more important than inner beauty but still important for our confidence and creativity! I wish someone explained it like this when I was growing up! I’m in dire need of a glow up so this video (like all of your videos actually) came at the perfect time for me!! Love how extra bubbly, fun, and life giving you are in this video 💗💗💗 your feminine Muslim sister from Pickering, ON!
Hello, I have been fallowing your channel since you had less than 1000 subs. You have a great message for women and I encourage you to continue making videos. I have seen some people on TH-cam dissing you, and I hope you won’t take too much of that seriously.
I like your realistic approach, taking care of ourselves, be moderate in make up etc looks so good. You look so natural, I can see some make up but it enhances your look. I saw a few other videos in the feed and am subscribing x
Caitlyn, thank you for this wonderful video. I appreciate how you put looking good, right up there, with feeling good and being good. I'm fat, and I've been fatter. I still choose the now me, than me fatter. I HAD to address the weight, sort out the bad lifestyle choices for better ones, because I had myself to focus on. And as you correctly said, we aren't supposed to be ashamed of our curves just because the society sexualizes it so casually. I've been struggling with people's reactions to me wearing a more traditional garment, the saree, as a 24 year old Indian, and I sincerely believe that I look and feel my best in it. I do get a lot of comments on how I should dress my age (meaning wear a mini skirt, a bodycon dress and all that) but what they translate to me is, "Don't dress as you please, don't dress for yourself, dress like what everyone does. Don't bother with making personal fashion choices. Don't try to be you." and now tell me, isn't THAT offensive?! I'm so glad that I glowed up into my now self. I feel that my style and appearance has become more consistent and doesn't that make for a classic! Thanks Caitlyn, really enjoyed this one. The bushy brows do suit you better ❤
Thank you so much for this video. A lot of women have issues and most of them like myself cannot express them well or even know where to start. So love this vid!
Seriously all these tips are so good! I already do some of them and they are life changing. Please break up each of those 7 tips in small parts like a makeup video just on your lips or just on your eyebrows or how to choose a color palette for your skin. I would be so interested in seeing that.
Such a great video! I am on my glow up now and I love it. I finally developed my signature style. which made a huge difference. I wrote about this on my blog too.
So, I don't have all the same morals or values as you, but I still really enjoy this video and a fair amount of your videos. It goes to show that people from all walks of life and opinions can still find middle ground, still respect and learn from each other. Cheers.
The blonde eyebrow problem - I feel you lol. blonde hair is so tricky to deal with! We have the same natural shade of blonde, but I get highlights. I’ve learned that seeing a blonde specific stylist helps
I have the same blonde eyebrow problem too even though I'm a brunette; can't leave the house without at least filling my brows in as I feel it just looks a bit off otherwise.
I love your bolder eyebrows, I'm brunette so I have darker eyebrows anyways but I'm so happy bold eyebrows are becoming more accepting and I used to wanna pluck and shave them to make them thinner but I look better with my eyebrows so I just kind of pluck them with tweezers in the middle and on the ends to give them a better shape
1. Skincare and clearing skin - daily routine
2. Work on eyebrows
3. Makeup application and techniques
4. Hair health and growth
5. Weight loss and diet - optional
6. Personal style that's flattering
7. Wearing lip color daily
When she said “when you’re trying to mentally get through the day, you don’t really care about your hair and makeup” - I felt that 💞 sometimes we’re so caught up in just surviving from what you’re going through, nothing else really matters !
Stay strong ladies 💞
Mishkah 98 so true. I hope you get through friend.
I feel you on this girl! Hope you're getting through it! 🙏
@@elena.deinhammer I do the same thing. For me, looking as good as I can helps me to hide my pain from people and make it appear like I have it all together when I'm falling apart.
That most of my days 😔
I’m trying to change that
Even tho it’s hard to put effort into my presentation initially, I do find that getting dressed up and putting on make up actually makes me feel a bit better ^^
I'm in that situation right now. Mentally surviving can be hard, but we will make it!

Agreed enhancing your natural beauty is the definition of a glowup
Pale with curly almost black hair too 😊

I hope you keep up the good work and be blessed and be happy!
My exact situation! Thanks for elaborating on this
Some people are just hateful for the sake of being hateful, but most of those people who made those videos just said those negative things things because they are more progressive and believe her message is damaging to women. I don’t think they understand that TH-cam doesn’t force you to watch anything, you click on the videos and watch them for yourself. YOU subscribe to the channel. It’s obvious who the demographic is for her videos, I don’t understand why they waste time making videos about how horrible they think she is just because they don’t agree with her.
I don't see the point in creating content purely for the need of hating or turning down others, that hole concept is sketchy, no matter what they are talking about

Alyssa Faith right?! I feel the same when I watch her
walking is amazing exercise and so underrated - transformed my figure in a few months
I love all these! Looking back, I started a transformation when I was about 17 or 18, and I gradually implemented all these things myself, daily skincare, learning about makeup and fashion, changing my diet, exercising, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE LIPSTICK! it's a great mood lift and very classy, and yes even giving my brows a makeover, I have dark bushy brows and just keeping them groomed made a huge difference. I'm 20 now, and I'm not where I want to be yet, but I genuinely enjoy the journey of self-improvement, and when I look back at where I started, I'm a little bit stunned at how far I've come. I'm grateful to ladies like you who inspire, encourage, and educate others.
I’ve been subscribed to your channel for a while now, and recently I saw these videos (especially by Jaclyn Glenn) calling you toxic. These people took everything you said out of context. I definitely do not agree with them. You are one of the sweetest, most kind people I’ve ever seen. Your channel is so unique in 2019 and it’s so refreshing. Keep going :)
I am petite with an hourglass figure, once I learned how to dress myself- I feel so much better!!!
Please share tips!
Same! I'm 5'3" with and hourglass figure. Knowing that changed alot about how I dressed🙋
@@SusanaLezcano Yes
What are the tips I have the same shape lol
Share some tips. I'm also a an hour glass. But I'm a fuller hour glass not a neat one.
I’m so happy your channel is getting the attention it deserves. The feminine family is growing soooo fast!
This is honestly such a good video idea. I’m 29 and have never looked hotter- if you saw me a decade ago, you’d understand the full impact of this transformation. And it’s nice to share tried and true tips.
To this video I would add, in terms of staying fit and lean, happiness is the ultimate fat burner. When I moved to Florida I was instantly happier, I was in a place that made me want to spend a lot of time outside, and less time idly eating. I was getting lots of sunshine, exercise, and experiencing less overall stress and able to sleep earlier. I lost 20 pounds in 3 months after moving to a place I loved- I didn’t do anything extreme, like restrict calories or eliminate food products like sugar, dairy, alcohol, etc. But in general I do eat less and I make most of my meals at home.
.
I glowed up from my teen years to early 20s. I'm about to glow up again going into my late 20s. I'm ready for a change! This video spoke to me!
Same, I stopped dying my hair 2 years ago and realized it looks best on me 😄 Been getting more compliments now because it looks healthier too, not to mention low maintenance and budget-friendly 💖
A guy who supports you Ma’am. Thanks for all you do and great help and assistance to many. My Glow up is building muscle.
There's a legend that you might encourage women that write a comment early...
Discipline is the key to so much in this world.
I'm starting a glow up journey. ❤️
Pretty Lady! It is such a relief to see a young woman who has self-assurance and confidence along with modesty!
Keep it up darling. Very refreshing and happy to see
I like how you explained inner beauty is more important in the beginning. I love your outlook on beauty, and just your outlook on taking care of yourself. I’m going through what you went through before your glow up 😂 I’ve noticed lately I need to honestly start taking care of myself regardless of what I’m going through. Thanks for your videos girl EDIT : 2years later after applying what I’ve learned from your channel. My husband friends and family have all noticed the effort that I put into my beauty. My husband loves it. And it has stemmed into so many other areas of my life 💕💕
I get my hair trimmed every 6-8 weeks and it definitely has made a HUGE difference and my hair is now longer :) I go to the gym every morning. My next step in my glow up is working on what meals I am consuming every day. I never skip breakfast but perhaps I need to have a healthier lunch/dinner :) Thank you so much for creating this video.
Never thought to research my color pallet. Turns out I’m a “Deep Winter” thanks for the tip!
A Trombley amazing! That’s such a pretty palette :)
Can you please tell how did you do it?
Lili 406 I actually don’t recommend you use this color system. It is very inaccurate, since it focuses on hair color, eye color and skin color; rather than skin tone and brightness itself. You should check out Merriam’s Style channel, she has videos on color analysis and palettes. It changed my life!
@@dearisabella ohh, thank you 😊
How do I know what my color pallet is? Thank you!
You have such a genuine way about you, I love it. I don't follow many TH-camrs but your energy is magnetic.
You are so beautiful, kind and genuine. I adore you and your channel! Thank you for all inspiration!
Amazed at how our queen can pull off a sweatshirt and look sooooo beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️✨
Bhawna Singh ahh thank you!!! I’m feeling extra comfy 😊😘
Our queen? That's weird.
@@eleagens haha...queen... Not in that sense😅😂
@@eleagens 😆
First video I've ever seen of yours. I saw Jaclyn Glenn's video first, and while I appreciate her opinions most of the time, I do think she was twisting your words a bit. I think you're such a cutie, and have a calming air about you
yes to Korean skin-care! (as an African-American woman!), such a wealth and helpful information, in their skin culture. love it. I also like to follow aestheticians on Instagram. thank you for the video :-)
Do you mind dropping your fave aesthetician's Instagram handles?
Caitlyn I've been following your skincare tips and I'm noticing such a difference. I do live in a big city and its very polluted but as long as I stick to your tips my skin is a lot more cooperative. Thank you so much!🙏
Munmun Sinha wow this is so good to read!! What a blessing it is to feel good in our skin. So happy for you! :)
Big polluted city..delhi??😊
@@SunilKumar-oj7zb no not Delhi😂😂😂
Ever since I have started watching you and applying your advice to my life ,embracibg my femininity, everyone around me have been complementing my personality and style .Yesterday ,A colleague commented that she has never seen a girl like me ,another speaking as to how she is impressed by my personality and honestly that made me so grateful to you ,Caitlyn. ❤❤❤
So inspirational ! I totally relate on going through a difficult time and not caring about appearance anymore. I was in a very difficult state mentally and I am now getting better so I am trying to glow up. Thanks for the motivation, you're so sweet and pretty, keep up the good work !
Korean skincare SAVED MY LIFE! I kid you not 😭 🙌🏾
Takiyah Walker it did?! I want to know more
I ended up becoming a feminine goth and it suits me so well because I naturally am pale and my hair is jet black. I wanted to dye it blonde but it just never fit me
Dita con tease is legendary
I am the opposite of feminine and Christian, but I feel what you say makes sense. Also, you have great energy. Keep doing what you're doing!
0,4% dislikes and 99,6% likes; you’re doing amazing love, keep up the good work !! love you doll x
also i love how you’re wearing a hoodie but somehow still look put together
i would like to say, you say things i dont agree with, you do things i dont agree with, but i enjoy your channel, because you do seem very kind. I really appreciate when i can watch someones video whos views i might not agree on and still not feel judged and feel welcomed, its refreshing
My god. You are GORGEOUS. IM LITERALLY CRYING RN
I didn't make my appearance a priority until recently and I'm glad I did it. I glowed and continue to, glow up internally and it has transmuted to outside. TH-cam and content creators like yourself have CHANGED MY LIFE! The double cleansing is the truth!
yes girl! i love how korean skincare helped you :)
eunicesueanne 유니스수안 I can see your glowing skin just from your profile pic! 😍 yes Korean skincare is a blessing :)
Mrs Midwest aw soo sweet of you! And yes i toootally am on board with you for having lip color. makes such a difference! matches so nicely with your light spring skin tone! 🥰🥰
You are so beautiful!!! 🥺❤️
I love your word about the mental experience you went through. Feels like someone else out there can relate!
Aaaaaah. What a lovely surprise to have your video pop up during my hair deep conditioning 😊 what a nice way to pass the time.
Nikki Schumacher Official wow good for you!! May we all do a deep condition this week! Amazing 😊😍
"Other people benefit when you take care of yourself" So true! Not only outer but inner too!
This is my very first comment on TH-cam.
I have watched all of your TH-cam Mrs West.
I comment this before I watch it.
I just want to say thank you 😊 🥰
angel green I just found her and she's like a breath of fresh air.
angel green thank you sweet one! I really appreciate you!
This girl is so elegant in manners!!
I have to applaud you for doing such a wonderful job in your personal growth and beauty .I watched your other videos and the fact that you seeked help, to help yourself is commendable. I love your videos and feel that I can share them with my daughter's without the fear of steering them in the wrong direction. Keep up the great work on yourself and know that your always growing and changing. Your off to a blessed future . Continue being the best you possible and sharing your understanding of personal growth with people . You have no idea how blessed you are to have reached this level of maturity and personal understanding of what it is to find yourself. This is just the beginning. There's nothing you can't accomplish. Sending you happy wishes and joyful applause. So proud of you !
You are so effortlessly stunning. I love how you embrace your femininity.
Caitlin I love watching your videos! You are always so positive and uplifting! It gets tiring listening to videos on here that are always drowning in complaints or crude stories. I really enjoy how genuine your content is :) Please keep it going!! God bless!
It's so lovely to see how wise you are at such a young age. Thank you for everything you are and do. ❤
What's her age?
@@nitika8535 She is around 25 I believe.
Watching this video since the first time you posted it and I share that learning my body type and color season was a game changer!! I feel like the whole color season thing is something that people have never even heard of. And girl I miss your videos so much. I’m praying for you often that your getting through this season of your life. Miss you!!
Love SO many of your points on this video. Thank you for inspiring us. I do wish you’d include before/after pics during your video next time! They add so much IMPACT! ❤️
I sub’d based off this video. I know physical isn’t everything, but I’ve definitely learned how much it contributes to your confidence level & people FEEL that about you!
Thank you so much , this is so inspiring. I love how you explain we should embrace our natural beauty and simply highlight and work with our features rather than trying to be something else eg contouring to get the Kim K look.
I'm so glad I found your channel. Your advice is gold! Thank you!
The mental shift is what I’d love to see more content on
I’m so glad I found your channel! ❤️ I have a similar story. I never used to take care of myself because I was in such emotional turmoil. I had horrendous acne from stress, I was 10 pounds underweight, etc. It literally me nearly dying in a car accident for me to start changing my life. I started getting my life back on track about 2 years ago and I feel like a night and day different person - My acne scars are almost completely gone, I’m back to a healthy weight, I’m eating healthy and exercising, showering every day and washing my face 2x a day and taking care of my hair! Learning a good skin care routine for my skin & make up application tips were some of the first things I started doing to turn my life around! God is good. Sending you love from California! ❤️
I watched this video last year . It is so difficult for me to get out of my nerdy comfort zone.
But I've accomplished first part (skin care routine)
I think by next year I can do more
you speak so kindly and warmly 😊
I was looking for this type of tips for months now, and i couldn’t find it anywhere, and now i found out this video. Im not a type of woman who has this womanish energy and i didn’t knew how to change it. We need more videos like this. Thank you, with all my heart. ❤️
Brows are so important!! When I first started filling my brows, my friends and family thought I was weird, but it does make such a difference and I love it! I've found that a sharper, more defined brow adds some definition to my very round, soft classic face.
1:50 This is so true. I recently was having a rough time and neglected my hair. Now I have to restart and freshen myself.
Your natural hair colour is beautiful! I stopped dying my hair years ago too, my frizzy hair is so much more tame
Girl, you’ve really worked upon yourself. You’re such an inspiration in my life. Lots of love and light and may you always shine bright 💝
What a elegant style she has!!
that’s so good you have been able to embrace your real hair. I made the big decision to chop off my grow out of platinum and gray hair that was toned to be blended in. It was pretty but omg I’m living in the shorter hair I’ve ever had. But I blunt cut it!!!
And yes girl, I’m doing a shit ton of walking and doing something similar. I hold weight in my face too and I want to lose this weight.
Ugh so proud of you
I love this video, it was really fun and made me feel proud of my femininity. I have been a silent viewer watching your channel since March and I am genuinely so happy your channel reach so many subscribers. Your videos really helped me to embrace my femininity again, your a blessed soul :)
A get ready with me (GRWM) would be lovely. Also, for fun would you consider a Day in the life of a 50’s housewife? Maybe implement some routines that your grandmothers used to do.
Could you maybe do your everyday makeup tutorial? I would love to see that! 💖
i think she did that in one of her vlogs.. not sure which ones.. 😁
Annie I would love that too! O
I absolutely love this video. It hit on a lot of things I've been struggling with for a minute now, with outer beauty. I went through a rough mental patch starting in middle school, and I've been in high school now starting on my 3rd year. My mental state has been improved and now I'm just trying to improve my physical state. So thank you for this video 💙💙💙
Don't listen to the haters, K. Look to Our Good Father and be a mirror of Him and the goodness and light He shines.
Was kinda afraid to click on your videos but I’m glad I did! Thanks for being real about stuff. Gonna binge your videos now!
Do you trim your hair yourself? I would love to watch a tutorial on that.
Me too please!
Went through a tough couple of years..at some point chopped off all my hair (a pixie) wich looked good but i didnt feel like myself anymore. Gained a bunch of weight..got into a relationship just to feel loved and at some point it all snapped.. i had a month of mental breakdowns ,panick attacks .. finally decided to take my life under control; quit meat and dairy for the most part and started eating veggies and fruits and grains , i also began walking (lost 9kg since)
Started taking meds for my acne and growing out my hair ..and i feel like im on the right track and your channel helping me to be more connected to my femininity since ive cut of my hair..)))
I loved that part where you say “wanting your girlfriends to thrive.” Very nice of you.
Bey Bey me too! I said in my head “yes girl”
I love that you reach out and explain terms to us older fans (I’m 52!)
*TWINS* I started my Glow Up in 2017 too but it has been a very slow process due to environment. You need a certain amount of mental strength to deal w/ ppl who want you to "be and look like them". I learned make up application and it changed my life b/c forced me to engage in other other of my body due to having to look in the mirror. You cannot ignore yourself when you see it first hand. I use to be a size 18 but now I'm a size 10 (size 8 on good days lol). For the longest I thought I was an overweight "ruler shape" or a arkward spoon shape with no hips b/c I couldn't see my shape. After I lost weight I got measured by my costume director (I got stage costume design as an executive) and he told me that I was an hourglass and if in lost more weight that it will be even more obvious. I could NOT believe thatI got a good bra fitting which is what I needed b/c I had been wearing bras that were too small (I'm a 32 D and b/c I'm on the smaller end if the Ds it's confusing when you're a teenager when all the sister sizes lol My best sister size is a 38 B as of now). My mom relaxed my hair when I was 2 or 3 years old (I have curly wavy hair by the way but my mom is just crazy😭) so it always broke off until I left her house and grew it out...but then I tried to go blonde and it looked nice until...it broke off even more then I tried to dye over it with her black dye (my hair has never been that dark) and it make things worst...then I had an issue with contaminated water in one of my residencies and that screwed my skin up and my hair lolololol. On the bright side my hair is at least shoulder length lol. My mood has been very down this month and my exercising suffered. I will be increasing my working outs b/c my Glow Up journey is not over yet. Thank you for doing this video Caitlyn👏💖💯
Ahhh I agree with the mirror portion.
I am so happy for you and thank you for sharing your journey! Feeling super motivated now ❤️
Mrs. Midwest, your hair always looks so voluminous and shiny. As a girl with fine hair also, can you let us know what products you use to style your hair? Also, I would love to see a video on your best makeup tips/advice. You always look so classy and lovely!
I feel like you’d really enjoy the TH-cam channel AlyArt.
Also, I know exactly what you’re talking about in terms of just trying to mentally survive. I had some kind of breakdown and cut all my beautiful hair off LOL 😭
Now I’m working on growing it back longer.
P. S. A-line skirts that go past knee length are my favourite too!!! I have bigger shoulders so I have a suspicion that the skirts balance it out on the bottom and that’s why I always feel so so pretty when I wear them ❤️❤️ your outfits highlight on Instagram is my number one inspiration, love you so much!!
Yes AlyArt is so good! MerriamStyle too, she has a great and simple colouring system I think, where you don't have too many types just a spectrum with 4 types.
@@gretas6794 That is amazing! Thank you for mentioning what you like on my Instagram as well. It's helpful for me to know what's helpful for all ya'll! We are skirted kindred spirits ;)
Yes I love Aly Art! Great recommendation. She is so no-nonsense and tells the honest truth! I looooove that Eastern European/Russian mentality. And she breaks down all the aesthetic and visual reasons why something works or doesn't. She is a gem!
@@MrsMidwest
I lovee how you explained how outer beauty is not more important than inner beauty but still important for our confidence and creativity! I wish someone explained it like this when I was growing up! I’m in dire need of a glow up so this video (like all of your videos actually) came at the perfect time for me!! Love how extra bubbly, fun, and life giving you are in this video 💗💗💗 your feminine Muslim sister from Pickering, ON!
Anyone else starting their glow up in 2020?🙋🏼♀️

Yes guuurl

Hello, I have been fallowing your channel since you had less than 1000 subs.
You have a great message for women and I encourage you to continue making videos.
I have seen some people on TH-cam dissing you, and I hope you won’t take too much of that seriously.
Your channel is so inspiring! Thank you for the content you put out. Love from the UK x
I like your realistic approach, taking care of ourselves, be moderate in make up etc looks so good. You look so natural, I can see some make up but it enhances your look. I saw a few other videos in the feed and am subscribing x
Caitlyn, thank you for this wonderful video. I appreciate how you put looking good, right up there, with feeling good and being good.
I'm fat, and I've been fatter. I still choose the now me, than me fatter. I HAD to address the weight, sort out the bad lifestyle choices for better ones, because I had myself to focus on. And as you correctly said, we aren't supposed to be ashamed of our curves just because the society sexualizes it so casually. I've been struggling with people's reactions to me wearing a more traditional garment, the saree, as a 24 year old Indian, and I sincerely believe that I look and feel my best in it. I do get a lot of comments on how I should dress my age (meaning wear a mini skirt, a bodycon dress and all that) but what they translate to me is, "Don't dress as you please, don't dress for yourself, dress like what everyone does. Don't bother with making personal fashion choices. Don't try to be you." and now tell me, isn't THAT offensive?!
I'm so glad that I glowed up into my now self. I feel that my style and appearance has become more consistent and doesn't that make for a classic! Thanks Caitlyn, really enjoyed this one. The bushy brows do suit you better ❤
Thank you so much for this video. A lot of women have issues and most of them like myself cannot express them well or even know where to start. So love this vid!
I started my personal glow up this summer and I feel soo much better now
You're inspiring me to get started on mine! Thank you!
Seriously all these tips are so good! I already do some of them and they are life changing. Please break up each of those 7 tips in small parts like a makeup video just on your lips or just on your eyebrows or how to choose a color palette for your skin. I would be so interested in seeing that.
Washing dishes and learning, thank you for sharing your tips.
Such a great video! I am on my glow up now and I love it. I finally developed my signature style. which made a huge difference. I wrote about this on my blog too.
thanks to you, I am transitioning from a tom boy to a lady :)
Annie Jose keep your sparkle and make it shine brighter! Blessings on your journey! :)
Yes queen you got this 👏🏼
All the best on your journey sis.
If u like being a tomboy, you don’t have to be girly. I mean if you want to change then great, just be yourself
Annie Jose that’s nice, but i hope you aren’t transitioning because you feel pressured to. being ladylike is awesome but so is being tomboyish :)
So, I don't have all the same morals or values as you, but I still really enjoy this video and a fair amount of your videos. It goes to show that people from all walks of life and opinions can still find middle ground, still respect and learn from each other. Cheers.
Best glow up video in youtube! Many blessings Mrs.Midwest! ❤🥰
Olga L thank you my love! ❤️🥰
Honey Glow up understatement !
The blonde eyebrow problem - I feel you lol. blonde hair is so tricky to deal with! We have the same natural shade of blonde, but I get highlights. I’ve learned that seeing a blonde specific stylist helps
I have the same blonde eyebrow problem too even though I'm a brunette; can't leave the house without at least filling my brows in as I feel it just looks a bit off otherwise.
I love your bolder eyebrows, I'm brunette so I have darker eyebrows anyways but I'm so happy bold eyebrows are becoming more accepting and I used to wanna pluck and shave them to make them thinner but I look better with my eyebrows so I just kind of pluck them with tweezers in the middle and on the ends to give them a better shape
