Hi friends! I meant to post this vlog earlier but I just haven't gotten the chance to haha, it's actually over the span of a few weeks! I got my eye surgery in each eye and there have been some complications that I was struggling with, also a quick bedroom painting update plus some nail polish organizing :) Sorry it's all over the place!

Hi Kelli! 10 years of working with ophthalmologists here. Great job explaining things, though I'm really sorry to hear about your complications 💜💜💜
In case you wanted an answer about the other pupil being smaller: YES it can "overcompensate"! It's called a sympathetic pupillary response. When light is too bright they typically both shrink to restrict the light allowed within the eyes (or open larger in low light to allow more in to see better). Typically it only goes that small for a short time because they regulate the light together, but obviously that isn't able to be regulated currently, so your "good" eye pupil is constantly reacting to the excess light entering your dilated eye.
I enjoying learning how/why things work, and thought you might like that insight as well. Best of luck on your recovery, and take care of yourself however you need!!
Ohh thanks so much for explaining it! It really did seem like a huge difference with the one pupil super tiny haha!
Can I suggest you hold off on the other eye until this pupil constricts again? Also random, but you can get a pair of Walgreens readers and pop out the lens with the regular pupil and let the reading part help to the dilated pupil… oh +2.00 should do it…ophthalmology field for 20 years.
Sending good vibes for speedy healing. Vision issues are really scary for me personally, so I absolutely get the response to your complications. I'd probably still be freaking out! 🫣 Continue taking care of yourself and definitely treat yourself to an updated pair of glasses once your eyes are healed for the times your eyes need a contact break. 🤗
Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️ definitely having days where I'm a little anxious but overall keeping positive haha!!
I'd totally love to see a swatching video where you miss your nail. Lol. Vote for a bloopers real 😅
I love this channel because it feels like we aren't strangers. It is a false sense of familiarity but your imperfections make this channel what it is. If everything is perfect in videos by creators, I feel like it is hard to relate. I love both of your channels.
My retina detached last November and while the surgery went fine I had so many complications afterwards so I completely relate to how frustrating it is to deal with vision issues. I also lost peripheral sight on my outer side and have permanent double vision in that eye (and I had the lenses removed in both eyes at 15). It's a wild ride. Keep being patient with this stuff it really does take time to settle/adjust.
Dealing with unexpected health setbacks is a challenge for anyone and can bring waves of different emotions. I am happy you are expressing how important self care is for yourself during this unpredictable time. Hope you are proud of yourself and the care/advocating you are giving to yourself. :)
Perfectly said ❤
Well said!
No kidding i would have a full blown panic attack. Just last night my right arm specifically concentrated on my elbow pinky and thumb it ached so much like growing pains but wayyy worse and i had no idea what to do so i called my mom at like 3 am. And vision loss is even more scary at least to me. Its one of my greatest fears along with limb loss. Which i mean i know ppl do have that happen to them and they adapt and are still capable but that would just crush me.
Hi Kelli! I also had laser eye surgery (to correct my vision, so totally not necessary) and I had a roller coaster of a recovery. The surgeon told me I would have “my best vision” At two weeks, in reality it was more like 6 weeks. I went through all the emotions thinking I had permanently messed up my vision. But in the end it all worked out and my vision is great, I still have issues seeing at night but overall my eyes healed wonderfully. I am confident that your eyes will do the same, it just takes time with them. I wish you all the best in your recovery 😊
Fairytale was fantastic! King's still got it!
So many hugs Kelli! I’m getting flashbacks to when I completely lost the vision in my right eye last May after another surgery. 7 weeks of total darkness… then it went away. This too shall pass! ❤
Just a small fun fact to hopefully make october even better for you: this year there is also a Friday the 13th in October! Twice the spooky fun
the green couch is amaziingggg
Imagine how much fun it would be to carry it upstairs!! Dont you want to do it?? 🤣
No need to apologize, I've had the same surgery myself so I get it. We just want to see you happy. Don't put too much pressure on yourself, upload when you can, the people who follow you and care about you will still be here, happy to share whatever you want to post. I'm definitely wishing your dilation situation resolves soon. I know I can't speak for everyone but I will appreciate any updates/swatch videos that you decide to share. Lots of love from Virginia❤
So sorry your having these troubles, Kelly. I had Lasik that didn't go well, so I can empathize.
Eye stuff is scary! I can hear my dad now, take care of your eyes, you only have 2 of them. Take whatever time you need, sending you healing vibes ❤️🩹
Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️
Vision is everything so please take care. Yes, its noticeable but it looks cool. The important thing is that you get better. Please don't say you dont need peripheral vision because it is important that you have one. Imagine not being able to see that someone is approaching you.
It’s an unfortunate truth that most, if not all, of us will deal with big, derailing, major health problems at some point in our life at least once. At least. It’s just the fact of being human in a human body. The least we can do for each other is offer patience and sympathy ❤️ I’ve experienced that patience and sympathy in my experiences, and definitely have plenty to give to others in a similar situation. Just take the very best care of yourself that you can, and we’ll be here! ❤️ thanks for taking the time to update us, glad to hear you’re past the second procedure but so so sorry you’re having to deal with all of it.
Stephen King has the BEST audiobooks. I used to do a long commute and his books were always my favorites. I am so sorry about your eye ordeals. I would be SO upset so don't worry about sounding "dramatic" or whatever, it is a big deal. I hope it all works out of you! Sending love and healing your way.
Thank you so much ❤️ he actually had a little cameo part in this audiobook! I was so excited to hear him haha
May I suggest that you do one side of the rack in spring, the next side in summer and so on... as you will not want to change the rack every season.
It sucks when you have it all figured out, and then life throws you a curveball that you can't ignore. Literally happened to me yesterday! 💥🚗😭
Take care, lady!
Hi Kelli! I know you probably should not be looking at screens rn, so if you're reading this: thanks for sharing with us! Best wishes and a speedy recovery! And no worries about not posting so much, we'll be here when you're ready!
Praying for you as your eyes heal. You encouraged me because right now I am fighting my negative attitude as I heal from Covid and sinusitis. I’ve been having daily migraine. I’m nauseated and my stomach burns. Slowly I’m coming around. The first change though was to my attitude. You are so right. If I can’t do anything to change my situation, it is what it is. I can change how I think about it. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. Happy Fall!
Take all the time you need to recover; I am glad you had them both done and now you can recover , sending prayers your way for your healing.
Dear Kelli - my thoughts are with you for a healthy recovery - big hugs!
Kelli, you worry too much about your followers! I think we can handle all the interruptions you're going through. Please wait for putting your contacts in; give your eyes more time to heal and get new glasses! Also, I use that same cleaner for my stainless steel appliances. It's great! They also have a spray version. Good luck with your eyes!
Stainless steel wipes are a life saver!! I’ve been using them since I was a kid so I’m glad I’m not the only one who knows the magic of those things.
Im so sorry to hear about the complications with your vision and i hope you get better soon. I had a retinal detachment in 2020 and had to get a scleral buckle put in for my left eye and had a lot of laser treatments for both eyes. I had a lot of the same complications as you with the blurred vision, light sensitivity, and loss of peripheral vision. It was a very difficult time but your videos really helped me and got me back into painting my nails. I couldn't read or play video games but i could see the pretty colors of the nail polish so I'd play your videos and paint along side you. As for the other stuff, it took me a few months to get back to pokemon and it took me 2 years to get back to reading, i just had to get used to seeing the words differently.
Now my sister is an absolute rock star she had the same surgery and same complications at a higher degree but she healed and is able to work around her blind spot as a hair dresser and shes about to make Master so she really showed me that i could work though this.
Sorry for the long comment but I hope you start feeling better soon, we're all here for you, and please take all the time you need to heal and adjust 😊❤
I feel for you so much with your eye stuff!!! For nail polish - I know Ryan doesn't want to be on camera, but would he consider just having his hand on camera by helping you swatch for a fun "my husband swatches my nails" video? I think that would be so cute if he was up for trying (it'd also be a great test of just how beginner friendly some of the formulas are, tbh!).
Also I am obsessed with your couch, that is so freaking cute!! And I relate to the annoyance of painting textured walls - when we moved into our place, we painted our kids' room and 10 years later... that's still the only room we've painted... oops. Admittedly part of the problem is that we're both very indecisive and it was really hard to pick colors for our bedroom, and we still keep waffling on the kitchen colors... but we painted stripes in the kids room, which was exhausting, so every time I think about painting again I just don't wanna! Ha. For awhile I campaigned to just hang fabric on our bedroom walls instead, but I think we're going to bite the bullet and get our room painted (dark purple!) the next time our kids spend a weekend with the grandparents.
So appreciate you talking about your health things. I know it's risky talking about health stuff, but people need to know about these things. I genetically predisposed to retinal detachment and so is my partner. We get our eye pressure checked and retina scanned every year to make sure we're still okay. Anytime we feel a change in our vision we get it checked out. I had a coworker have a retinal detachment in the middle of work, and he went to the hospital to get it fixed up immediately. Glad you took the time to rest up. So appreciate you getting some videos out, but stress levels make such a big difference in recovery, and that's most important long term!
P.S. The green looks AMAZING!! I'd been eyeing a similar green for the longest time, but I was too scared to paint. You've given me the courage to try colourful walls!
I had a laser procedure on my eyes for glaucoma last summer. I listened to lots of podcasts after. My grandma had detached retinas several times, and my parents both had retinopathy, and Mom also had cataracts surgery. I have a blind spot on my right peripheral side, and I don't really notice it unless I'm trying to look for it. As long as you have a good eye doctor, and surgeon if necessary (Mom highly recommends her eye surgeon), then we all hope it goes well. Take your time with YT, and we want you healthy and happy.
My favorite sparkling waters are Waterloo (grape, orange vanilla, and pineapple are my favorites, but peach is surprisingly nice too) and Nixie.
I have a stainless steel liquid cleaner; dedicated cleaners really do make a difference.
I'm so glad you're able to enjoy audiobooks. My eyes get tired easily so reading with audiobooks has been an amazing solution for that. I'm definitely going to check out Fairy Tale.
So sorry you are going through the eye thing--I hope it all evens out soon. As someone with eye problems, I know it can be really disconcerting! Feel better soon Kelli!
Kelli, your health is the most important thing, we can wait for your videos! Get well soon! ❤
I really feel for you with eye problems, it’s so scary to think of losing vision, something we rely on so so much. Best of luck!
Good things happening can be just as stressful as bad sometimes. I think moving is a big one too. I would also hate not being able to read in bed before sleep!
used to work at an ophthalmologist office, specifically with a retinal specialist, and these issues are so common! i’ve been an assistant for the laser treatment you’re talking about and it’s so interesting how it works. the RD surgery freaks me the hell out (mostly bc you’re awake) so i hope it doesn’t get to that point 💜
Oh my god i'm so with you on being grossed out at the thought of washing dishes bare handed.I keep like six pairs of gloves in my house at all times.Glad i'm not alone in this hangup I guess you could call it 🤣
Sorry to hear about your eye setbacks. On the brightside, it is temporary and you're kinda rocking the "David Bowie" eyes. In his case, he got punched which resulted in 1 eye permanently dilated. Lots of people thought he had 2 different eye colors but that wasn't the case. Hope you feel better soon.
Are you using a thick nap roller for your walls? The standard paint rollers aren't meant for these (or textured ceilings) - getting the ones that are extra thick makes all the difference!
Prayers for a great recovery. You are a wonderful lady I hope your eye sight continues to get better. Blessings and take care of yourself
Kelli, we just want you to get well. Your health is what's important. We love you! ❤
You take care of your eyes, we’ll be here when you’re better!
I'm sorry for what you're going through, Kelli! You are brave to come on here and chat about it. I hope that your vision returns to normal (or as normal as possible) and that the second surgery comes with fewer setbacks. You're strong! 💪❤
Also, you're definitely not alone in pain/healing/the emotions that come with surgery... I had surgery to remove a large fibroid a little less than two weeks ago and the recovery has been brutal. We'll get there!
Call it Spare Oom (The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe). that's what we did with our extra office/guest room space.
It's OK to get emotional after surgery. Even if everything goes perfectly, it's still one of those life affirming things that causes feelings.
I had a myomectomy back in December that had some delayed complications that caused an ER visit... Long story short, I have liver damage & some other complications that caused me to no longer be able to eat solid foods. It's frustrating & emotional. Other than losing almost 20 lbs, I look healthy.
I actually started painting my nails in June as a form of self care since I couldn't do my normal hobbies. Its been a great form of therapy & I've really enjoyed your videos (past & present) to help me learn.
❤
I just finished Fairy Tale myself! I went to Maine on Vacation and read most of it while I was there! Love me some Stephen King! 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖 I hope your vision bs clears soon, hon!
So very sorry you've been going through all this with your eyes. I can relate & know how scary it is. I had a cataract surgery that went wrong and for 3 years I was very worried I had lost a good portion of my vision permanently. But thank God for a recommendation to an amazing and incredibly kind surgeon that made it all good! I'm a photographer and I'm overjoyed to have my sight! Praying your healing happens quickly and your outcome is even better than expected!
Healing vibes being sent your way!!!!!
Sending positive vibes for complete healing soon! No more blurry vision! This year has been the worst year of my life, health wise, so I feel you. I was laying in the hospital and thinking I just wanted to get out and be able to paint my nails again! It does so much for my mental health. Yay, Jersey Devils! (your hoody lol)
Kelli, take all the time you need! You are a treasure. I keep directing people to your channels when anyone asks me about my nails (which look fabulous because of you). I get a lot of people asking me about my nails. Thank you for all you do! Blessings and healing energy your way! PS. LOVE the green walls! Green is one of my favorite colors and that green is the green of my wedding to my beloved of 27 years.
That couch is amazing!!!
Ive had 2 eye surgeries for Keratoconus which is the coning of the cornea. My second was just this past thursday. I fully understand eye surgery recovery. I hope your recovery for both eyes are easy after all the issues.
Thank you!! Sending you lots of love and healing vibes too 💜
AWWWW WE LOVE YOU KELLI! So glad you know we love you and are 100% supportive.
i liked using the home edit walmart containers for organizing things in general ...anyways we love and support you!
I'm so sorry you're going through such a rough time with your eye, Kelli! It sounds awful!
Take all the time you need to heal. That is the most important thing.
I LOVE the couch and all the green in your new house. It's so pretty!
Love your positivity! Get well soon Kelli!❤
First off....your makeup in this video is GORGEOUS!!! LOVE IT! The best job of makeup ever.
Second....prayers/positive vibes coming your way. ❤
Hi Kelli! I hope you are healing well. I just wanted to say that I really enjoy your channels. Thank you for the interesting content. I hope you manage to get the little sofa moved!
Love the shape and color of your sofa. Amazing!! Can't wait to see it in its final place. The paint in the bedroom is fabulous. I don't think I'd ever be brave enough to paint a whole room in such a dark color. It is really really pretty. My husband is so addicted to Baldur's Gate 3. He's been playing it every chance he gets. Glad that you're healing. I always knew you were a creature of the night - lol - j/k. Sending positive energy and thoughts of a speedy recovery.
I can only imagine how tough it is dealing with a dilated eye for so long, I am sorry! But I am so happy things are getting better!
The bedroom looks amazing and now you just got me into the mood for buying ton of moody green blankets, the fact that green is my fave color doesn't help 😂
And as far as the gloves go, I understand 10000% 😂😂 I am also so used to them, been using them for min 5 years now and also got myself a pair for my mum'place, mother in law's and our vacation house xD I just refuse to live without them anymore ☝🏼☝🏼
Love the green bean couch!! Hope the eyes get better soon
Hope your eye situation gets better!! 💖. Another creator I follow, Rachel Maksy, does a yearly Halloween thing where she posts something each day but across different platforms, so sometimes a youtube video, sometimes a picture on IG, whatever - maybe consider something like that so you don't feel so much pressure to post a bunch of videos?
Take as long as you need, and you always look amazing! No need to apologize for any of that.
What thickness of nap are you using for the rollers on the orange peel? A thicker nap will hold more paint (so it will be heavier) but will cover heavily textured walls. You can even paint popcorn ceilings with the thickest naps! 😊
Good luck with your healing. You're a bright light in so many people's lives! Take good care of you. 💜💙
when I was initially recovering from my cataract surgeries (at the age of 20+ lol), everyone's noses looked extra bulbous for some reason. and colors looked super sharp and vibrant to the point that I felt like I was losing my sanity a bit hahaa. can totally empathize with your struggles, and hope the adjustment period doesn't last that long for you
I'm so sorry to hear you've been struggling! And the fact that you had to draw the blinds and live in the dark is def going to affect your mood!
Wow, Kelli. That’s a lot. I’ve been wondering how you’re doing. I’m glad things are getting better. ❤
Kelli, this year has been EPIC for you. I’m so sorry that you have had to deal with those complications with your eye-whenever I get my eyes dilated I get so so tired and can also get headaches. Sending you ALL the vibes for continued healing. Your couch is adorable, the deep velvety green in your bedroom is phenomenal, and my GOODNESS: you’re so freaking beautiful! I mean I already love your heart and attitude, but also: even with no makeup and 10 year old glasses, you are just so pretty. Take lots of rest and don’t worry about keeping a blistering upload schedule. We’re all here for you!! ❤❤❤
it's understandable that you were struggling with the complications and new changes to your vision. i think a lot of issues that come up with health and our physical abilities can make us uncomfortably aware of how vulnerable we are, so i imagine that it's not easy. i hope everything goes as smoothly as possible in your long term recovery, sending love!
Hey Kelli, don't worry about the videos! We'll still be here when you're done to come back full-time. I totally understand the frustration with the doctor and healing time. I had a surgery in February, and the doctor told me it was easy peasy, I'll be up and running the same day, just some pain. But I was out for a week and a half, missed my own 30th birthday celebration, and was just miserable and crying the entire time (which also made the pain worse! Yay!). It is OK to feel down and cry about it, but it will eventually get better :)
I hope your vision improves with time. 🙏🏼 And your real, true subscribers like myself aren't going anywhere! Take care of yourself! Congrats on your new home!! 😊 Happy Polishing! 💅🏼
I ALWAYS use kitchen gloves - both to protect my nails and keep my hands from becoming dry. I also use latex gloves for food prep! I buy what used to be Platex Gloves and I guess they were bought out by O-Cedar. I buy them in bundles on Amazon - they are good gloves!
I’m sending you healing thoughts.
Your like David Bowie! ❤️Highly recommend getting reader glasses. I don't have any eye conditions other than I'm super near sighted and I've been having issues seeing up close especially reading as I get older. My optometrist recommended readers starting at +1.00 to help. Now I have like half a dozen super cute readers I keep around the house so I can see up close without having to take my contacts out. ❤
Let’s just have hope it’ll go a bit back to where it was. You never know! Ty for the update
Wishing you a speedy recovery! Health issues are the worst because everyone is different. Hang in there and keep us updated. We care about you. 💜 I love the idea of changing the new tower with the seasonal polish. I know you like to wear your polishes by the season, so I think it will really represent your manicure choices during that time. 💅😊
I have ear problems my ear canals are very narrow.and have ringing in my ears for all my life. It is not fun feeling. So I feel for you and will keep you in my thoughts. Wish I could give you a hug. Love your videos they are fun.
So glad to hear that you are at least relatively okay!!! I can empathize a bit with your eye situation just from the standpoint of my also relatively extreme nearsightedness. Hope you continue to heal well and that you’re as good as possible in no time!! ❤❤
Oh! Love the audiobook recommendation! I’ve always been leery of Stephen King as I cannot do horror. I’m pretty sure you’ve mentioned reading Sarah J Maas before, but her audio books are top notch too. Amazing narration. I hope your eye continues to improve!!
There is stainless steel cleaner! I remember using it back in the day when I worked in food service. Definitely works better than regular cleaners.
You cost me a ton of money! 😅😅😅
I bought all the orly and 4 from the Cirque collabs! 😅❤
They're all amazing!!!
I'm really sorry for your eye problems, I hope it's all gonna end up fine at the end!!
I remember a thing I saw in a renovation TV show about textured walls, they used rollers with longer fibers.
I case you didn't already know, maybe ask the people at the paint store wich one for that kind of wall?
I really love the new tower! And the idea to change it by seasons!
I hope your eyes get to feeling better sooner rather than later and give you a chance to enjoy spooky season!
Give you self time to heal our eyes same times take little time to get better I had few lasers surgery before I no longer able to drive for pass 2 years I use white cane . I still do my own nails fun to do and watch your videos i fallow few lady's on tube have great day😍😍😍
Omg Kelli eye stuff SUCKS. I’m gonna go through and play all your videos and thumbs them up 😆 hopefully we can boost you on the algorithm during your down time
It sounds like you've got a handle on it all and that is amazing! Get new glasses---lenses have improved SO much in the last 10 years (as have frame styles) that you'll really like what they can do for you. Plus, your eyes will get a chance to breathe (when not wearing contacts) and that's important. Excited to see how your bedroom project turns out too!
I’m so sorry your vision has been messed up! Hopefully it’s well soon! But I am glad to see you today! 😊❤
I’ve had three retinal detachments in my right eye. I’ve lost the majority of my peripheral vision and have some spots in my central vision are missing. My pupil was also damaged and stuck dilated. Get a really good pair of polarized sunglasses to help with brightness.
Prayers for healing, my dear! Also, we all love all your collabs so very much and after all the recent ones, we can wait. Although, I still would love to see full sizes of all the Haunted House advent colors next Halloween. ;) (They are so AWESOME!) Hugs and love!
Sending peace and comfort your way hon. You got this❤
Hope you feel better soon! Go Devils! 😊
I know you've mentioned before that your glasses rx is pretty intense but I still recommend Zenni for a backup pair. Especially if you don't have vision insurance!
I am so sorry. Just have to be patient. I cannot imagine what you go through. Things will be getting better. You are amazing. You got this and I know things will be better.
Thank you so much Debroah ❤️❤️
Hope the healing process continues and everything settles. Take your time Kelli! Focus on you!! Also, those stainless steel wipes are amazing, if you use a microfiber cloth behind it and buff it, it looks even better. lol
Vision problems are the worst. My husband has been dealing with a blood clot that blocked some of his vision in one eye since January. Many procedures since then. It's getting better but very slowly. Hang in there. I understand your frustration.
Oh gosh I'm sorry to hear that, I hope he makes a full recovery! ❤️
So sorry about your eye complications, hoping for speedy recovery for your right eye and for your left eye to heal soon as well
Awww! We are so happy to see your vlog today. Dilation is so scary. I personally remember getting dilated and after I went to Souplantation I couldn't see anything. I was so scared to spill everything. I do hope things get better for you!! Sending you positive vibes
Kelli, I hope things get better soon for you. I know when I injured my eye (I had paper cut across my cornea) 😬 and I had to have one eye dilated a lot it sucked! My eye is better now but it took a long time to heal properly. I’m nearsighted in one eye and farsighted in the other so depth perception is an issue for me as well. Sending you well wishes.
I've had bilateral retinal detachments, and laser treatments to prevent the detachments. And I've had setbacks as well. My right pupil is stuck dilated since my retinal surgery. I understand what you are dealing with. Sending love and hugs.
Wishing you all the best and sending hugs 🤗
Whenever I mess up a nail or dent one in a full mani, I leave it and the next day I fix just the one nail. If I try to fix it immediately I just mess up other nails and end up starting from scratch which takes so much longer!
glad you're feeling better, even if it's taking longer than expected 😅 I've been trying so hard to cut down on my nail polish spending, but all your collabs are making it hard 😅😅😅
Aww, I'm so sorry about your eye issues. 😔 hang in there, it's gonna be ok ❤ keep the faith! Sending healing vibes your way. David Bowie had one eye stuck dilated bc he got punched or something as a teenager. Makes me wonder if he lived with issues like you're having all his life or if his brain adjusted to it & idk.. made the good eye dominant or something. That would be annoying as all hell not being able to read 😖 also Omg that couch is the cutest thing ever!
