EXCITING THINGS IN TODAY'S VLOG!!! did a lil mini haul, talked a bit about where my head is at right now, and we go over to the house to see MAJORRRR CHANGES! I am so excited!!!! which wood sample did you like better?!!?
I love the darker one! Personally I would remove the wall by the kitchen btw, it just feels odd to me somehow.. But it's your choice :) Glad to hear you are doing better :)
try connecting your laptop on a monitor, this happened to me and the screen never turned on but when I connected it to another monitor everything worked and I was able to recover everything.
As a psychologist I can tell you that what you are experiencing is very normal, and I agree that it doesn’t have to be clinical depression, especially in Covid times. I have been seeing a lot of increased sadness and anxiety because of being at home, not having separation of home and work, and not being in contact with friends. Take a break whenever you need it. And stay safe!
IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU! Don't be afraid to take a break again because we will all wait here. Your mental health is more important! Much love sent your way!
As someone who's done a ton of research into toronto real estate recently, I can 100% guarantee that what you're doing to the house is going to double the value. I am SO beyond excited to watch as you continue, thank you so much for sharing all of this with us!! (Also, your comments at the end of the vlog really show how insightful, mature, and articulate you are, which is why I'm so happy to be subscribed to you. People may pick you apart but you're genuinely so down to earth and I hope you're able to find the boundary you need and the self-discovery you're looking for!)
Tara please read this comment! The EXACT SAME THING happened to my laptop and it reacted the SAME way! I plugged the screen to a TV, and a usb mouse and keyboard. And I was able to access EVERYTHING in the computer. I really hope you read my comment and its useful to you. I'm pretty you are in the same situation I was!!
your energy as already so different!! so happy you are willing to set an example and show that the best thing you can do sometimes is just step away and regroup! happy you’re back 💘
12:46 all of us blurring our eyes with Mitch while also staring at the floor 😂 Also, I’m so grateful that you are taking time for yourself, and feeling a little better than you were last week. You should always be kind to yourself, and take care of you first 💛
Can I just say I’m VERY happy this video title didn’t say something to the sort of “my year/ week just got worse” I’m so glad you’re feeling a bit better mentally Tara! You are a strong warrior 💕
I love that you moved back with your family Tara. You are so much happier and this time you have with your parents, you will cherish forever. I love the relationship you have with your Dad! My dad passed away 3 years ago, and I so WISH I had had this time with him in my adult part of life to experience with him. Cherish every second girly. Your house is going to be amazing when completed!!! Love it. You will get through this - you’re a strong young woman. You’ve got alot on your plate - work, new home, renovations, ect. That is stressful! You’ve got this.
Tara it’s so nice to see you smiling today!! Whenever I start feeling overwhelmed or sad I try to remember that life is a rollercoaster, gotta take the dips with the highs. It made me smile to see you happy and bubbly today 😄
I’m 30. I went through some feelings around the same age related to figuring myself out and what truly made me happy and trying to find a balance. You’re already ahead by realizing this. You got this, sister. Take all the time you truly need. Loves.
I think this pandemic has many of us experiencing a certain amount of depression. And that is quite understandable. That is not to say that you need to be medicated, you just need to (as you have said) find your balance. You are still young, but wise beyond your years. You have a lot more on your plate than most your age and although you should be proud, that also comes along with some overwhelming emotions. But you've got this! And most importantly, you have an amazing support system. Keep thriving!!!
I have watched your vlogs on and off for years, but lately I have watched all of your vlogs and I'm obsessed. I know having struggles suck when you are living through them but I love how humble you are and how you are able to cope with your struggles. It makes me want to come back to your channel not just because of your home reno process but because you are real. You know you are an influencer but you aren't glorifying it everyday.
I love how respectful and vocal your dad is about the construction! Some people see the dollar signs for things like a demo, not realizing how much goes into it. It’s wonderful to see someone be so appreciative and understanding of the work 😊
tara i am so incredibly proud and happy for you being so honest and raw with everyone. i admire the way you become firm in your desires and wishes, are productive, bt also recognize when you need to take time for yourself. you've inspired me to live for me and what i want ❤️❤️
I’m not sad about the three day upload schedule. I’m happy that she is taking care of herself and we will still get videos. Even if she only makes one video a week, I’m happy. If it helps her out specially when it comes to her health, I’m happy with whatever schedule she chooses. 🙂
Honestly I didn't notice how many times she uploaded. I'm a newer viewer of a couple months. I really think youtubers beat themselves up over this more than is necessary. I'm glad she's feeling better
Man this makes me want to buy a place instead of renting. Love seeing someone like you (who I feel like I know because I've been keeping up with you for so long) go through this process + so many changes with your family. On a wellness front: take all of the time you need. If that's tomorrow, take it. If that's in 3 months after you thought you were back to 90%, take it. The people who truly care about you and keep up with you because they enjoy the authentic you will 10000% understand. There are a million things we can do to entertain ourselves if you ever need a break, so don't even consider the impact on us in your decisions here (I know you so I know this will be hard, but lol, you can do it!) XXX
I love how your family is right there helping you out with the house! My little brother helped me with my house renovations, and I would not have done it any other way! The time spent with him was so good for both of us, and you will have good memories of creating this space for you with them. So glad you are working on a balance and are doing better this week!
Im so happy you are feeling better, i hope you find that balance you need! we are all here to support you and take the time you need. everyone deserves a break especially now with everything going on in the world.
If you keep it, a curved arch to the kitchen from the front door would be soo pretty!! I'm so glad you're feeling better❤ Thanks for being so open and honest with us, take care of yourself!
You are so very lucky to have great parents to be there for you. Your new home is going to be amazing! Love the floors you picked out. Take all the time you need, everyone needs breaks.
Absolutely love the reno so far. I am feeling the excitement! I think you are handling the situation well with getting balanced with your mental health. Just go give your parents another hug. X
Tara l think it's great admitting when you're struggling .... more people need to see that it's ok to say you are finding things hard. I do love the pure joy you have on your face every time you talk about the changes at your house. Can't wait for it to be finished just so l can see the happiness you will feel when you do a house tour at the end.
Hope your weeks will be less stressful, now that you scaled back your posting schedule! Keep your health and happiness as a priority! I am glad to hear that you are feeling lighter! Always supporting you 💜 excited to see how your house turns out!!!
I'm having major reno cravings lately and honestly your channel is just EVERYTHING for me at the moment so I can live vicariously through you, until we finally buy a house and I am able to do renos again!
I totally feel you tara. Like with this whole lockdown and almost coming up on a year I feel burnt out. Like I'm tired of living the same old life every day. I just wanted to say thank you for sharing your feelings in the past few vlogs because it shows me that I'm not alone in this feeling! Love you🥰💕
Your house is starting to change now it’s lush😍 you don’t need to explain what it feels like either everyone gets bad weeks where things feel like they build up! I get them now and again too! Simply having a weird moment and then you take a step back and you’re fine again ☺️
Wow the house update really made it easier to imagine your vision! I bet you're getting so much more excited every time you check in over there and see the progress. I like your floor choice too! 👍 Glad to see you're taking some time for yourself and mentioning being kind to yourself. This mama strongly believes in giving grace and kindness to yourself. Been helping my son with that recently in what ways I can, although it is his journey and he is the navigator. I saw pep in his step yesterday when we brought him shopping for his weekly essentials and my heart nearly burst with happiness. Us mama's feel so deeply the struggles our kids have. Just keep doing what you need to do for you to find your balance Tara. You're a smart woman and you'll figure it out. I saw the windows in the main room of your new home and my brain imagined all of that light and let me just throw something out there, Plant Mom. That light screams plants to me hahaha. Maybe that's because I saved a single dead plant over the winter and now in past 2 weeks have purchased 16 new plants and they are giving me life haha. Seriously though I'm gonna feel so much satisfaction watching them grow from babies into thriving big green beauties. It's therapeutic for me to spend a few minutes each day taking care of them and they have already transformed the vibe in my front living room and my back sunporch style living room leading to my deck. I think next winter they will help me by having some nature indoors during the long Canadian winter in Northern Ontario. Boy did I ramble. I'll zip it and end with another congratulations on your new home progress and hoping you have a better week and enjoy some you time off camera 📷
Yes girl, focus on yourself and make sure you don’t overwork yourself! Your happiness matters! Also I’m so excited to see your house finished. It’s going to be so beautiful❤️
You were really overwhelmed and I am glad that you knew to take a step away. There’s tons going on in your life. There’s also so many decisions on so many levels. Everyone needs to take a break. You will find balance and boundaries.
I love that you get your viewers input into your demo! Like the final call is yours, but it's always nice to see what people will pick for themselves or what they think you like after knowing you all this time. Also, can we just give a HUGE appreciation shout out to Mitch being the jack of all trades?!
I’ve been a subscriber for a LONG TIME. This is the roughest time I’ve seen you have. But I know you’ll get out of it you’re a strong, independent af, and a hard working girl. You always bounce back one way or the other. Love you 💕
i’m so glad you took time to yourself & that you’re navigating what work/personal life balance looks like. it’s so important to recharge & rest!!! also i have to say you seemed so much happier than you had in months. i love to see it💖
You got this!! You are always the priority, and with how the world is at the moment we all have issues with the boundaries so I can totally relate, but don't forget that you are awesome and you totally got this, you rock! Thank you for sharing the reno update, it was so exciting!! Can't believe how much it had changed in so little time, your contractor's rock.
You look so gorgeous! It is good to see you put some effort into your clothes, hair, makeup, etc. It really does give you a boost to look put together or at least it does for me. You are beautiful no matter what you wear or put on your face but it is a morale booster to know that you've given yourself a little self attention. The house was shockingly demoed!!! I knew it was going to be a lot of change since the last look but WOW!!! I love your flooring choice and I'm so excited to see this happen. I really look forward to seeing what you do with the fire places too. I love you!!
So glad you are feeling better and the house is progressing very well, excited to see your vision come to light. I don’t use the term “leftovers” anymore, I use “meal prep”, I have prepared meals for days ahead, meal preps are the best meals of all. I smoked some meats the first day after the snow melt, salmon, ribs, chicken, hamburgers and steaks, everything is now gone except for half a rack of ribs that are now frozen for a later meal, I have my 19 year old grandson living with me so nothing ever gets wasted, ever...lol.
tara: apologizes for feeling down, feels weird about exposing her vulnerabilities, has hard days and struggles to upload and is frustrated in capricorn literally every single one of us: just happy she's taking time for her and uploading in spite of feeling down, just happy to be here and be supportive ❤️
I can already see your spirits starting to lift! Just by you seeing your home taking form + you having the balance youre about to have with a less strict upload week. Yay! I'm so happy for you!
I feel like I’m in a very similar position to you right now (mentally). I just had a conversation with my boss and I told him “I have given you 5 years of this being my TOP priority. Moving forward it will still be A priority but I need to start prioritizing building a life, not just a career”. As a very goal oriented Capricorn, this was difficult but even just saying it allowed me to breathe a little easier.
Honestly Tara, I love just watching you make your drinks and to know what your eating and watching. I usually watch what your watching. No pressure for more content when it can't happen right now. I also love the house updates.
tara please understand that taking a break is more important then keeping views happy always do whats good for you and the views are much happier with just that. glad you had a little rest time x
I love that you took a few days to yourself! You are so deserving of it. You look like you are feeling better. 💖 also I am living for these house demo updates 😍
What is helping me a lot with this whole pandemic is hanging out with friends, that I know for sure have been save, every now and then. Just having those 2-3 friends that you can get together with and just talk in real life, not through a screen, really helps. You can even do it outside still keeping distance and go for a walk or so. I mean as much as I love my family, It's just not the same as being with friends. Also hanging out with Carter and Matt might also be a good one to get your mind off of things(idk if you guys have been doing that, but just an idea:))
Before I watch the video I hope you're in a better head space. I wanna thank you for giving us all you can I myself as a fellow capricorn have been feeling mehhh.. but your videos make it 10xs better so thank you. Hope you have an amazing day and im sending you lots of good vibes your way.
hey tara, thanks for posting. going to curl up with my chocolate croissant and cappuccino and watch this, an amazing start to my day. i love how genuine and courteous and respectful you are, just a reminder to take everything day by day and to be easy on yourself. we’re literally in a panasonic rn. and to anyone who’s reading this, give your pets some pats and scratches from me. pets can improve your mental health tremendously❤️
don't worry take time for yourself we will wait for your vlogs when you are ready.Don't worry the last year is really hard on everyone around the world we all feel it! Take care of yourself!!! BTW, I'm loving the idea of reno updates!
You have made many huge decisions in the last few months, and you needed and still need for everything to catch up to you. You do what you need to do until it's all meshed together. I can tell from this video that you're doing better than before. Just one day at a time, and your mind will slow a little and hopefully you will feel more balanced. Good luck with the house
Honestly needed this vlog today I’m studying nursing and been sick the past two months so I’m behind so blessed to have your videos the make me happy and also seeing your issues helps to know everyone is a bit fucked up lol x
This pandemic, the seasons, girl issues, social distancing, trying to survive in a world that's completely upside down and trying to Reno a house while losing you're mac and you're work.. girl you're human. Stress is there and you have alot on you're plate. Don't be so hard on yourself. There's always gunna be someone out there trying to bring you down. Feel you're emotions, take care of yourself the best way you can right now and take a breath. You're good. Nothing lasts forever and this funk you're in will fade away. ❤️ Take care girl! P.s. love the darker floor and cannot believe how much progress they have done. Looks so different, I can't wait to see the finished product ❤️
I’m so happy that you are feeling better now!! I love what’s going on in your new home!! Take all the time u need we all love you and you know what you need more then what we do! So come back being the best you ever like always hun!!! You rock and you are so great!!! Much love from Wisconsin ❤️❤️
Selfishly sad that you are only uploading 3 times a week, but soooo happy that you are taking a break for yourself. I loved that everyday of the week I could watch either you or Jill! ❤️❤️ ❤️ looking forward to more reno vlogs!!
Your videos really help me through, Tara 💕 it hurts seeing you having a bad time, but I can already feel your spirits lifting throughout this vlog! *please* do not stress about uploading 4 times as we’re all happy that we even get 1 video a week!! I genuinely hope that what you’re going through eases and your boundaries are respected. Keep pushing girllll 😄💕
I hope you are able to find your balance. Good for you to make your vlogs now Monday, Wednesday and Fridays! Take time for you! Everyone needs that and I think you need it now more than ever.
i just wanted you to know that you do a great job on the podcast!! you’re really good at thinking quickly, rolling with the randomness and keeping the awkwardness down! a great host 💕
The time is going to fly its already march and before you know it you will be in the new place. I'm so excited to see the final product. Love the Reno updates. Also love mitch and marcy. We all need a mitch as a dad. I love how excited he gets
“Twist cap squeeze bottles” are a good application method for applying rice water to your hair. That way it’s concentration is getting on your roots where it is most effective. Also the fermentation process can make the rice water smell unpleasant. You can add essential oils to help with that. Glad you’re feeling better!
That's so true. Damn everyone can comment on your life and it's the norm. I cant imagine people commenting on my life for years. That would take a toll on me. I thought about vlogging before and it just seems overwhelming everyone knowing so much about me that I never started a vlog channel. I know it was your choice to do it but it's still hard . So definitely set boundaries and take your time. Your channel your rules on what and when you want to share your life! ❤
@Tara Michelle take the time you need. I have seen people not upload for months and the people that watch them are still there for them. Protect your Sanity.
EXCITING THINGS IN TODAY'S VLOG!!! did a lil mini haul, talked a bit about where my head is at right now, and we go over to the house to see MAJORRRR CHANGES! I am so excited!!!! which wood sample did you like better?!!?
the darker one (:
i also loved the darker one !
Darker
Yes love it better❤️
I love the darker one! Personally I would remove the wall by the kitchen btw, it just feels odd to me somehow.. But it's your choice :) Glad to hear you are doing better :)
Everyone has a bad week, the only difference is you have yours documented and share it with us. Glad you're feeling better, Tara!
thank you ❤️❤️
@@imtaramichelle keep doing you & take as many breaks as you need, love youuu ❤️
DYING at how cute you look in the merch 😭😭😭
try connecting your laptop on a monitor, this happened to me and the screen never turned on but when I connected it to another monitor everything worked and I was able to recover everything.
def planning on trying this the next time im at my parents house!!!!
@@imtaramichelle just use an hdmi cable to connect to your tv!
@@imtaramichelle love youuu!!!!
I work for Apple and I was just about to recommend that!
Please yes do this or have your dad help you he seems to know everything!!
As a psychologist I can tell you that what you are experiencing is very normal, and I agree that it doesn’t have to be clinical depression, especially in Covid times. I have been seeing a lot of increased sadness and anxiety because of being at home, not having separation of home and work, and not being in contact with friends. Take a break whenever you need it.

MITCH IS THE MAN. When he was moving the flooring everywhere to picture it, how cute
Lol yes. I love Mitch and Marcy!!!! I definitely love the Toronto vlogs way more than the LA thanks to them! Lol
Everyone needs a Mitch in their lives
The flooring is going to be so pretty!
Like you
Tara please read this comment! The EXACT SAME THING happened to my laptop and it reacted the SAME way! I plugged the screen to a TV, and a usb mouse and keyboard. And I was able to access EVERYTHING in the computer. I really hope you read my comment and its useful to you. I'm pretty you are in the same situation I was!!
your energy as already so different!! so happy you are willing to set an example and show that the best thing you can do sometimes is just step away and regroup! happy you’re back 💘
sometimes we all need a little mental health break to get grounded again :) gotta normalize it!!!
i’ve noticed this in other videos but can we mention the TRANSITIONS !! they are so smooth i love how creative you get with them!
12:46 all of us blurring our eyes with Mitch while also staring at the floor 😂
Also, I’m so grateful that you are taking time for yourself, and feeling a little better than you were last week. You should always be kind to yourself, and take care of you first 💛
Lmaooo yes!
Mitch is such a vibe.
Literally😂😂 he said that he blurred his eyes and I instantly did it to see what he saw😂 we love Mitch😁😁
Can I just say I’m VERY happy this video title didn’t say something to the sort of “my year/ week just got worse” I’m so glad you’re feeling a bit better mentally Tara! You are a strong warrior 💕
I love that you moved back with your family Tara. You are so much happier and this time you have with your parents, you will cherish forever. I love the relationship you have with your Dad! My dad passed away 3 years ago, and I so WISH I had had this time with him in my adult part of life to experience with him. Cherish every second girly.

I’m 30. I went through some feelings around the same age related to figuring myself out and what truly made me happy and trying to find a balance. You’re already ahead by realizing this. You got this, sister. Take all the time you truly need. Loves.
And the matcha is back! Excited for the demo update 😍
Am only a minute in and already you seem a lot more ‘you’. Really excited to see the house take shape ❤️
I think this pandemic has many of us experiencing a certain amount of depression. And that is quite understandable. That is not to say that you need to be medicated, you just need to (as you have said) find your balance. You are still young, but wise beyond your years.

I love watching you experiment with the day of the week/date intros and this one is my favorite!!♥
heheheh been having fun playing around with it, this one's my fave too :)
I have watched your vlogs on and off for years, but lately I have watched all of your vlogs and I'm obsessed.

Your house is going to look so good! I’m so excited to see it after it’s all done! 😁
im so exciiiitedddd!!!!
The little "mhhh" after your first sip of matcha is just a whole mood ✨☺️✨
Honestly I can’t wait to see the house done I’m so excited
One time I thought I broke my computer and took it the Apple store and they showed me that my screen brightness was set to 0. Sooo embarrassing 😅
OMG, that's hilarious! 👌🏻😂
I love how respectful and vocal your dad is about the construction! Some people see the dollar signs for things like a demo, not realizing how much goes into it. It’s wonderful to see someone be so appreciative and understanding of the work 😊
tara i am so incredibly proud and happy for you being so honest and raw with everyone. i admire the way you become firm in your desires and wishes, are productive, bt also recognize when you need to take time for yourself. you've inspired me to live for me and what i want ❤️❤️
Who else is sad about the 3-day upload schedule but is excited for her to be happier in all of them !!!
Love seeing someone take their mental health into consideration and scaling back to avoid burnout ❤ should be normalized.
I’m not sad about the three day upload schedule. I’m happy that she is taking care of herself and we will still get videos. Even if she only makes one video a week, I’m happy. If it helps her out specially when it comes to her health, I’m happy with whatever schedule she chooses. 🙂
One day less is not that big of a deal! I’m glad she is prioritizing herself and not forcing content just for the sake of an extra video
Honestly I didn't notice how many times she uploaded. I'm a newer viewer of a couple months. I really think youtubers beat themselves up over this more than is necessary. I'm glad she's feeling better
Your parents are great your mom is lovely so unselfish. They just love you. Feel better Tara take one day at a time xx
Man this makes me want to buy a place instead of renting. Love seeing someone like you (who I feel like I know because I've been keeping up with you for so long) go through this process + so many changes with your family.

Tell me you are skinny without telling me you are skinny:
"so I got this in the size M because I want it to be nice and oversized"
You are so very lucky to have great parents to be there for you. Your new home is going to be amazing! Love the floors you picked out. Take all the time you need, everyone needs breaks.
A video where your dad teaches us simple handy work jobs for people who don’t have dads like him would be so wholesome
I saw someone mention the "one year anniversary of the pandemic" as the reason we're all hitting our breaking point lately. Sending you good vibes!! 💕
Makes so much sense!
I time my lunches perfectly so I can always watch Tara’s videos !!! ❤️❤️ love you tara !
Absolutely love the reno so far. I am feeling the excitement! I think you are handling the situation well with getting balanced with your mental health. Just go give your parents another hug. X

That construction company isn’t missing around lol! 😳😂 Can’t wait to see the results.💜
You have such a great support system from your family as do I. They always seem to be there no matter what. Never be afraid to ask for help.
I totally feel you tara. Like with this whole lockdown and almost coming up on a year I feel burnt out. Like I'm tired of living the same old life every day. I just wanted to say thank you for sharing your feelings in the past few vlogs because it shows me that I'm not alone in this feeling! Love you🥰💕

I love Tara how you sound like a kid on Christmas morning looking at all your presents when looking at everything the contractors did. So adorable.
HAHAH YUP!! I was soooo stoked!!!
@@imtaramichelle ❤️❤️❤️
Why did I find it ABSOLUTELY hilarious when you pulled out that Drano in your haul? LOL 😆
Wow the house update really made it easier to imagine your vision! I bet you're getting so much more excited every time you check in over there and see the progress. I like your floor choice too! 👍
Glad to see you're taking some time for yourself and mentioning being kind to yourself. This mama strongly believes in giving grace and kindness to yourself. Been helping my son with that recently in what ways I can, although it is his journey and he is the navigator.

Just keep doing what you need to do for you to find your balance Tara. You're a smart woman and you'll figure it out.
I saw the windows in the main room of your new home and my brain imagined all of that light and let me just throw something out there, Plant Mom. That light screams plants to me hahaha.
Maybe that's because I saved a single dead plant over the winter and now in past 2 weeks have purchased 16 new plants and they are giving me life haha. Seriously though I'm gonna feel so much satisfaction watching them grow from babies into thriving big green beauties. It's therapeutic for me to spend a few minutes each day taking care of them and they have already transformed the vibe in my front living room and my back sunporch style living room leading to my deck. I think next winter they will help me by having some nature indoors during the long Canadian winter in Northern Ontario.
Boy did I ramble. I'll zip it and end with another congratulations on your new home progress and hoping you have a better week and enjoy some you time off camera 📷
“This is not the best rice job” 😂😂😂😂 lol love you, you got this girl can tell this week you already feel better. 💖
Yes girl, focus on yourself and make sure you don’t overwork yourself! Your happiness matters! Also I’m so excited to see your house finished. It’s going to be so beautiful❤️
Wow!! I love seeing everything torn down. It already looks so transformed. Can’t wait to see how it looks next week!
You were really overwhelmed and I am glad that you knew to take a step away. There’s tons going on in your life. There’s also so many decisions on so many levels. Everyone needs to take a break. You will find balance and boundaries.
I was just googling the time zone difference after your instastory to see when this will be up and was so pumped to see it was up already!!!!!!
I love that you get your viewers input into your demo! Like the final call is yours, but it's always nice to see what people will pick for themselves or what they think you like after knowing you all this time. Also, can we just give a HUGE appreciation shout out to Mitch being the jack of all trades?!
I’ve been a subscriber for a LONG TIME. This is the roughest time I’ve seen you have. But I know you’ll get out of it you’re a strong, independent af, and a hard working girl. You always bounce back one way or the other. Love you 💕
i’m so glad you took time to yourself & that you’re navigating what work/personal life balance looks like. it’s so important to recharge & rest!!! also i have to say you seemed so much happier than you had in months. i love to see it💖
setting boundaries is so so hard and I understand the feeling of maxing out!! Take care of yourself tara
You got this!! You are always the priority, and with how the world is at the moment we all have issues with the boundaries so I can totally relate, but don't forget that you are awesome and you totally got this, you rock!
Thank you for sharing the reno update, it was so exciting!! Can't believe how much it had changed in so little time, your contractor's rock.
You look so gorgeous! It is good to see you put some effort into your clothes, hair, makeup, etc. It really does give you a boost to look put together or at least it does for me. You are beautiful no matter what you wear or put on your face but it is a morale booster to know that you've given yourself a little self attention. The house was shockingly demoed!!! I knew it was going to be a lot of change since the last look but WOW!!! I love your flooring choice and I'm so excited to see this happen. I really look forward to seeing what you do with the fire places too. I love you!!
I love seeing the progress of the house!! Also I’m so glad you’re feeling better 🤍 you’re positivity and optimism helps me get through the week!
So glad you are feeling better and the house is progressing very well, excited to see your vision come to light. I don’t use the term “leftovers” anymore, I use “meal prep”, I have prepared meals for days ahead, meal preps are the best meals of all. I smoked some meats the first day after the snow melt, salmon, ribs, chicken, hamburgers and steaks, everything is now gone except for half a rack of ribs that are now frozen for a later meal, I have my 19 year old grandson living with me so nothing ever gets wasted, ever...lol.
tara: apologizes for feeling down, feels weird about exposing her vulnerabilities, has hard days and struggles to upload and is frustrated in capricorn
literally every single one of us: just happy she's taking time for her and uploading in spite of feeling down, just happy to be here and be supportive ❤️
Someone is looking much happier today!!! Hope you are feeling better & don't forget that we love you Tara💓
love you more!!! thank you!
I can already see your spirits starting to lift! Just by you seeing your home taking form + you having the balance youre about to have with a less strict upload week. Yay! I'm so happy for you!
I feel like I’m in a very similar position to you right now (mentally). I just had a conversation with my boss and I told him “I have given you 5 years of this being my TOP priority. Moving forward it will still be A priority but I need to start prioritizing building a life, not just a career”. As a very goal oriented Capricorn, this was difficult but even just saying it allowed me to breathe a little easier.
Honestly Tara, I love just watching you make your drinks and to know what your eating and watching. I usually watch what your watching. No pressure for more content when it can't happen right now. I also love the house updates.
tara please understand that taking a break is more important then keeping views happy always do whats good for you and the views are much happier with just that. glad you had a little rest time x
I’m glad to see you back in a better mental state ♥️
I love that you took a few days to yourself! You are so deserving of it. You look like you are feeling better. 💖 also I am living for these house demo updates 😍
What is helping me a lot with this whole pandemic is hanging out with friends, that I know for sure have been save, every now and then. Just having those 2-3 friends that you can get together with and just talk in real life, not through a screen, really helps. You can even do it outside still keeping distance and go for a walk or so. I mean as much as I love my family, It's just not the same as being with friends.
Also hanging out with Carter and Matt might also be a good one to get your mind off of things(idk if you guys have been doing that, but just an idea:))
Watching your renovations and Shelby/Monica’s renovations really gives me life 🤩 LOVE the Reno content
Before I watch the video I hope you're in a better head space. I wanna thank you for giving us all you can I myself as a fellow capricorn have been feeling mehhh.. but your videos make it 10xs better so thank you. Hope you have an amazing day and im sending you lots of good vibes your way.
hope things start looking up for you too :)
hey tara, thanks for posting. going to curl up with my chocolate croissant and cappuccino and watch this, an amazing start to my day. i love how genuine and courteous and respectful you are, just a reminder to take everything day by day and to be easy on yourself. we’re literally in a panasonic rn.
and to anyone who’s reading this, give your pets some pats and scratches from me. pets can improve your mental health tremendously❤️
It’s so cool how much more value your putting into this house and also the value of ur LA home of Renovating
don't worry take time for yourself we will wait for your vlogs when you are ready.Don't worry the last year is really hard on everyone around the world we all feel it! Take care of yourself!!! BTW, I'm loving the idea of reno updates!
You have made many huge decisions in the last few months, and you needed and still need for everything to catch up to you. You do what you need to do until it's all meshed together. I can tell from this video that you're doing better than before. Just one day at a time, and your mind will slow a little and hopefully you will feel more balanced. Good luck with the house
absolutely! I've had soooo much change recently and it's hard to take it all in! can be very overwhelming!!
Honestly needed this vlog today I’m studying nursing and been sick the past two months so I’m behind so blessed to have your videos the make me happy and also seeing your issues helps to know everyone is a bit fucked up lol x
It's been a rough year...i can't even imagine filming my life this past year! Thank you for sharing yours!!!💕
This pandemic, the seasons, girl issues, social distancing, trying to survive in a world that's completely upside down and trying to Reno a house while losing you're mac and you're work.. girl you're human. Stress is there and you have alot on you're plate. Don't be so hard on yourself. There's always gunna be someone out there trying to bring you down. Feel you're emotions, take care of yourself the best way you can right now and take a breath. You're good. Nothing lasts forever and this funk you're in will fade away. ❤️ Take care girl!
P.s. love the darker floor and cannot believe how much progress they have done. Looks so different, I can't wait to see the finished product ❤️
thank you for this ❤️❤️
Mitch is the absolute best!!!
So glad you’re slowing down a little and trying to take some time for you!
the fact that your dad placed the wood in every room to see what it would look like and make sure you liked it... love you guys💜
Mitch reminds me of my dad. The jack of all trades. Love our dads! And so happy for you and your house it inspires me!
I’m so happy that you are feeling better now!! I love what’s going on in your new home!!
Take all the time u need we all love you and you know what you need more then what we do! So come back being the best you ever like always hun!!! You rock and you are so great!!! Much love from Wisconsin ❤️❤️
Selfishly sad that you are only uploading 3 times a week, but soooo happy that you are taking a break for yourself. I loved that everyday of the week I could watch either you or Jill! ❤️❤️ ❤️ looking forward to more reno vlogs!!
It was good seeing you somewhat calmer and smiling more. Please take care of yourself and it was great seeing your dream home. 💖💖💖💖💖
Your videos really help me through, Tara 💕 it hurts seeing you having a bad time, but I can already feel your spirits lifting throughout this vlog! *please* do not stress about uploading 4 times as we’re all happy that we even get 1 video a week!! I genuinely hope that what you’re going through eases and your boundaries are respected. Keep pushing girllll 😄💕
I hope you are able to find your balance. Good for you to make your vlogs now Monday, Wednesday and Fridays! Take time for you! Everyone needs that and I think you need it now more than ever.
Your dad is SO excited...I love it!
i just wanted you to know that you do a great job on the podcast!! you’re really good at thinking quickly, rolling with the randomness and keeping the awkwardness down! a great host 💕
Friday’s are my day off so I’m pumped for those Reno videos! Yass!!
Loving your dad dragging that wood floor sample all over the house to look at what it will look like. He's the best.
The time is going to fly its already march and before you know it you will be in the new place. I'm so excited to see the final product. Love the Reno updates. Also love mitch and marcy. We all need a mitch as a dad. I love how excited he gets
“Twist cap squeeze bottles” are a good application method for applying rice water to your hair. That way it’s concentration is getting on your roots where it is most effective. Also the fermentation process can make the rice water smell unpleasant. You can add essential oils to help with that.
Glad you’re feeling better!
That's so true. Damn everyone can comment on your life and it's the norm. I cant imagine people commenting on my life for years. That would take a toll on me. I thought about vlogging before and it just seems overwhelming everyone knowing so much about me that I never started a vlog channel. I know it was your choice to do it but it's still hard . So definitely set boundaries and take your time. Your channel your rules on what and when you want to share your life! ❤
Tara just wanted to say that I love your honesty and positivity in the vlogs!
I hope you’re feeling better! So excited to see how happy the house makes you! And yay matcha!
@Tara Michelle take the time you need. I have seen people not upload for months and the people that watch them are still there for them. Protect your Sanity.
I seriously live for these step by step remodeling vlogs!! So happy for you!
Same! I can't wait for summer to look back on these vlogs and see the progress!
Its been 30 seconds of this video and all I can think is "thank goodness she is smiling". so glad you are feeling better!!! missed seeing your smile!
