I don’t think you need to change your content bc some people don’t want to see workout content. They can just skip past it. Personally I’ve been loving the new things you are doing and sharing and I am excited to see what else is coming from you! ❤
I completely agree! I really enjoy the gym/workout content and it's easy to skip past if you're not interested. There's still loads of other content within the videos that people can watch
Thank you so much!! I’m always trying to find the balance between posting what people love to see and what I love to make. Thank you 🤍
Would loooooove an update about using the yuca app and how you feel etc after you’re back in the us and have a good amount of time to try it out!
As someone who is usually triggered by a lot of gym content, it's so refreshing to see you developing a healthy relationship with it after years of an unhealthy one and it's inspiring to me that I can do the same. Keep doing you gf!!!
Thank you!! Slow journey getting here but it’s been worth it
absolutely! my main triggers are all about the numbers and focus on changing your body for aesthetic reasons, and that is not at all what you focus on so keep it up bestie
It’s refreshing to see you switch up content! I don’t mind seeing different things from your channel. Also it was very eye opening to hear how different food laws are compared to the US and I’m different countries. Makes me look forward to one day experiencing it for myself!
I love your content no matter what! Keep doing what you’re doing! Those who don’t want to watch certain parts can skip over whatever they don’t prefer.
I’ll truly watch any and all content you post, you’re my comfort creator. Also your workout content has actually inspired me☺️
hearing you talk about as you travel it makes you think about humanity and how humans are so similar and we all enjoy the same things, yet we always seem to get in the way of ourselves really resonated with me. i feel the exact same way but you put it in to words so beautifully!!
longtime follower, first time youtube commenter. i love how you share your perspective on the non-aesthetic stuff, like about food lobbying, your appreciation for the richness of humanity, and the beauty of new experiences in old places. don't get me wrong: all of your content is so visually stunning, but what i appreciate most is that the focus goes past the visuals - it makes me feel such a kinship with you! i'm rooting for you and matt and your move to scotland; my husband and i are hoping to make a move to ireland in the next few years for a lot of the same reasons. i cannot wait to see your scotland content!!!!
I just spent 3wks in Hungary and it was the first time in years that my stomach has been flat. And I was eating bread, potatoes, meat, cake, ice cream, you name it. The food tastes like ‘food’, not chemicals and sugar, and even after a full meal I didn’t feel overly full or bloated. I also had so much energy! Within a few days of being back in Canada my stomach was back and my clothes were tight and my energy is way down.
I’m amazed at just how quickly I’m digesting. It feels so good to eat til you’re full and then be excited for another meal a few hours later. You also don’t realize how SWEET everything in the US is until you leave??
Did you enjoy your stay here? I'm from HU and hope that you did haha
It's good to hear you express how well you feel in Europe with the food ☺️ it's one favourite parts of this part of the world!
Love the work out content! Agree...necessary for good mental health. Happy for any inspiration 😊
the part where matt was interviewing you about your thoughts on france was so sweet and cute to watch!!
Literally just got up cause I couldn't sleep and was so excited to see you posted. Saw all your insta/snap posts and have been waiting for this one!!
I loved this vlog soooo much!!! I had the same experience with the food when I studied abroad in Spain!!! Never once had a stomach ache; I ate so much cheese and regular milk and I was fine??!! My skin was also the best it ever was! Hardly broke out while I was there. It was so weird and so nice to experience. Being back in the US and eating processed foods and not very healthy foods has been so detrimental to my gut health and it’s so sad. Also experienced acne when I came back and that was rough. I’m so glad you’re having a great time!! I can’t wait to see your Scotland vlogs 🤭💗
about the food thing- i also wanna stress that serotonin is made in ur gut and i noticed that i was experiencing way more dramatic spells of drepression here in california than i ever had in other countries that I lived in (Canada, UK, Lebanon). I’m a neuroscientist and looking at the gut-brain axis with respect to the US FDA is so so so eye opening (not in the best way)
my mom is super into the microbiome and she’s told me for years that nutrition can affect mental health in that exact way - I need to research it more now! so interesting (and terrifying?)
i know right!! it’s mind blowing. def a lot of room to improve ur quality of life here in the US but i just wish we didn’t have to go the extra extra mile to do so. Also I do recommend getting an app like Yuka (i don’t rly agree w using it for everything) but it gives u a good score on foods with barcodes so you don’t have to sit and read entire ingredient lists searching for what’s good or not. i use it on beauty products too:) def helped!!
hello!! the serotonin that's made in the gut is not able to pass the blood-brain barrier: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7659911/#:~:text=This%20serotonin%20cannot%20reach%20the,emotional%20status%20(Figure%202). :)
I’ve been loving the gym content! It’s been inspiring
dropped everything to watch this!! when mary uploads i come running lmao
i guess because i really enjoy watching fitness content, i've loved that you've been incorporating this into your vlogs. i loved seeing this vlog, it was so beautiful. i'm so glad you both have some time to spend together post wedding ❤
When I went to Rome my skin was SO clear and glowing. Still convinced it was mainly the water there but the food makes such a difference it's wild! Also Cabot cheese is lactose free, it's one of the only ones that doesn't bother my stomach.
So glad you liked my country 💛💛💛 I live not so far from where you stayed it’s so funny to see you enjoy the same things as me! Can’t wait for the Scottish vlogs!!
Ps I like your view on working out, I find it refreshing and it makes me feel less guilty to have a strange relationship with exercising haha thank you ❤
I don't understand why working out is triggering for some people? Just skip that part?? And it's been proven to improve your mental health which is a huge part of your platform... so it makes sense to include it! I think your growth has been awesome and it's always fun to watch your videos!
got so excited when i saw a new mary vlog 😩😩
Your content is YOUR content that we are privileged to get be apart of. If people are upset about fitness/gym content I think that says more about their own insecurities with it if seeing other people prompts them to impose their opinions on your lifestyle. We should be celebrating people attempting to create habits that help them feel better not tear them down about it.
I love seeing Matt interview you 🥹
I LOVED this one Maryyyy!!!
Ohhhh I love seeing Matt reading Brandon Sanderson! I think the 4th book in the series he's reading is out now too! My husband has four sitting our our shelves at least! I haven't read The Way of Kings but he keeps trying to get me too. I need to finish Throne of Glass first. Love how happy this summer has been for you both!
And don't change your workout content. It actually makes me feel better to see an influencer doing bodyweight workouts with light dumbbells. Sometimes I feel like if I'm not deadlifting 200 lbs, I'm not a true workout girly. I appreciate your new gym content, plz don't stop babe!
30 secs in and it’s giving JANE ERYE. It’s giving you have bewitched me body and soul. ❤❤❤❤❤
More muscle mommies! Here for it as strength trainer myself for nearly 2 years. It transforms you. Mind body & soul ❤️🔥
Building muscle has helped me feel a lot of mental clarity, plus there’s something about it that makes me feel so present in my body. That mind-muscle connection!!!
@@MarySkinner yessss love this! I wish every woman realized weights won’t make them “bulky”, it’ll only benefit you in ways you didn’t even realize. Cardio is important too, but weights is where you see the most progress.
I also just love the chill vlogs 🥰
Beautiful vlog, thank you for sharing ❤
Wes Anderson vibes at the beginning 🥰
It’s your content so it’s up to you! People can always skip :) anyways, I’m so happy to see you enjoying your time!!!
Love a good travel vlog! May be a little bias 😋
Canada has the same/similar food and food additive regulations as the UK, Europe etc.. thankful for that.
that charcuterie board looked SO good
The ultimate girl dinner!!
Where did you get your pink kettlebells from? I’m looking to start implementing kettlebell workouts and the pink is so cute! Love your videos 💖
They were at the house but I know amazon has some!!
Ive been saying for awhile now, some foods don’t taste the same and it’s because “they” are putting so much chemicals in our foods nowadays that it’s messing up our stomachs, im on an all chicken/rice/salad diet because beef/pork, dairy and breads upset my stomach so much.
I think for most people the main issue with the gym content is the way your previously 'body positive' content shifted towards gym and workout content, along with your body shape pretty obviously changing. I am a big fan of your content and this is in no way meant to be hateful or anything along those lines, but in less than a year you went from a very (for many people) recognisable mid-sized body to a very slim and skinny body. If you feel better with your body being its current shape, we are all very happy for you, but I don't think it's weird that many people do not resonate with that part of your content anymore
I’m sorry, but I have to disagree with the narrative here. I stopped making content surrounding my body almost two and a half years ago, haven’t mentioned it since, and only just started mentioning the gym in the last 6 months. I did that because of how much negative feedback I got for being too small to make the content in the first place. I did not want to take up space in a movement that was never meant for me. I started social media 3 years ago, during the height of the pandemic, when my weight was different because of covid. I have very very gradually lost the weight I gained during covid over the course of 2 years. It wasn’t intentional, it was a result of my lifestyle going back to what it was pre-covid. Perhaps people have only noticed it in the last year, but that doesn’t reflect what’s actually happened in my life. I also randomly grew an entire inch last year, which may have affected my weight distribution. According to 80% of the feedback I got during my initial year on social media, I never had a mid sized body in the first place. That’s why I respectfully changed the entire scope of my online presence. I have also only actually lost 7lbs over the course of 2 years, and have only changed one clothing size. So I understand where you’re coming from and I didn’t take this comment as hate at all, but I just wanted to provide the facts. I don’t know why people are perceiving my body in a way that is so different to what’s happened in real life, and I don’t want to know. I try to ignore all body comments, positive or negative.
As I said, my body stopped being a part of my content 2.5 years ago. I would expect that anyone who followed me for that content would have unfollowed sometime since, which is completely reasonable. I just disagree with the idea that I’ve recently changed. I encourage everyone who no longer resonates with my content to just unfollow and make space in their feeds for accounts that speak to whatever they’re looking for.
@@MarySkinnerI get where you're coming from but if you haven't made any content surrounding your body for 2,5 years and suddenly you mention the gym in every video, isn't it very understandable that people don't resonate with that type of content? I absolutely don't think you should stop posting gym content if that's what you enjoy filming, but I do really understand that people don't enjoy that type of content since it's never been part of your content
Then I would really encourage them to unfollow. I post days/weeks in my life here, and this is now part of my life because it truly helps my mental and physical health. I completely understand it’s not for everyone, but I can’t change my life or content to try and please everyone because I never will. I’ve noticed over the years that there’s a real unwillingness from some people (I’m not saying this is you, just speaking generally) to accept that people evolve as they get older, and their interests/choices evolve too. I started social media when I was 21-22. I’m 25. I’m a different person than I was when I was 21 - I’m a different person than I was 6 months ago. Part of being a creator, which I’m aware that I signed up for, is receiving a daily flood of opinions from strangers about every single choice I make. I have to go with what feels best to me, or else I’ll go insane. I am so grateful for the people who have been following me since the beginning who have evolved alongside me, and I completely support those who feel I’ve grown in different direction and decide to unfollow.
Did you bring the exercise equipment with you or was it already there? I love the workout content, if you like to post it, go for it!
Mary does Matt know that the stormlight archives are actually a 10 book series? 😅
omg he did NOT know that 🤣🤣
Came here to say he’s very wrong about the trilogy thing hahahaha
Did anyone tell Matt that he is reading a 10 book series and not 3? 😅
I’ve been so excited to see this trip you’re on! Looks like you two are having so much fun. 🤍 Also, I personally love the workout/gym stuff you’ve been adding. It’s inspiring me to get my body moving and get out of this funk I’ve been in for months. I think it’s great you’re evolving and doing different things to better yourself. Have a great rest of your trip 🥂
