As a consumer, I'm over being sold to. This year, I've gotten back into hair and makeup and got caught up in buying almost everything I was influenced by. I've since been more thoughtful about the recommended things, as I have to be realistic about what I will use and won't. What's practical, and what isn't? What's worth it, and what's not? Appreciate the video. Love the topic! 🩷
@@Ohemaa 100% you defo have to package yourself in some type of way depending on your audience, as that's just the game. But you're right, the issue is when you turn into something you aren't.
I'm for authentic lifestyle content. Shopping, balling out, high end purchases, Sephora runs, 5 star dining, new cars, dream houses in every video isn't realistic!!
As a SAHM, I used to watch vlogs of other moms, but the content has become redundant. Every vlog always involves shopping, hauls and selling me something. I’m over the consumerism. I just wanna see relatable content from relatable people.
As an OG TH-camr/content creator. I have always resisted trends and doing what the crowd is doing. But this is a personality trait of mine. I do feel that pressure but I'm from generation X and grew up during a time my parents had to budget. So my mom taught me this is all we have to work with, and showed me strategies to still thrive. I embraced this and to this day I have a game I play with her on "guess how much I paid for this?"😂 She is always stunned on the deals, quality, and usefulness of the items. But this is how she raised me I just ran with it.😂 When I started TH-cam it was because I loved make up and learning how to wear it. My channel has always been about sharing what I love and use, not making money. I had to stop because my husband survived four strokes and requires full-time care. Since being his caregiver for 7 years I am now going to start a new channel to help other caregivers, patients, and people dealing with the healthcare industry from what I've learned. People need to know before bad stuff happens what to do. I typed all that to say, do what works for you and be careful of declaring what your viewers won't watch because you don't really know unless you try. People want to see you, they are going to watch because it's you, not just the aesthetic. Some people have a great aesthetic but no personality, no skill or talent, and nothing of substance to say. You are not one of those people. Don't mold yourself into a lifestyle you can't maintain that isn't authentic to you. Great video!❤
Hi! This is my reality. I remember people saying oh I don't return Please! I'm not giving $$ when I don't want the item(s) and causing clutter in my house.😅 Sometimes getting $$ back feels as good as getting a deal. Plus I do the same thing telling myself I have food in the house but I want such & such. The internal dialogue...Being a practical adult is hard😂
I think if you have any perfectionism in you, putting yourself out there as a content creator will heighten that tendency. Perfectionist will procrastinate overtime especially if they fear criticism which is the burden of content creator. It will block creativity and stop creators dead in their track. I am sure this ends SM careers.
The aesthetic has the gworls in a chokehold for a reason. The girls who have the aesthetic get the views & the sponsors🫣 we just need to stop supporting it and focus our attention on authenticity for sure!!
This is what I’m saying!!!!!! We want the count! But at what expense??😭😭 it’s so hard like what should the GWORLS BE DOING?? To aesthetic or not to aesthetic lol😂
I'll be the one to say it- there is eventually going to be a backlash because we are in extremely tough economic times, and unfortunately, it's not going to be short. So when eggs are $10/doz , I dont wanna see a video about some one going to the most expensive restaurant 🤷🏾♀️ gen z & gen alpha are gonna revolt 😂😂😂 also, I'm not interested in aspirational content b/c it doesn't make me feel good about myself 😬 I'm interested in content that makes me feel like I'm enough as I am 😊 stay true to you ❤
I enjoy your YT videos. FYI When I need to know how to get somewhere I use Google Maps. I suggest you pick up a salad from the grocery store. I keep chicken breast and Spinach at home. I can add this to my pre-prepared salad. I buy a whole cooked chicken. I use the white meat for a salad and the dark meat with frozen vegetables.
As much as i love shopping, i love getting money back. Currently arguing with myself on whether or not to return knee high silver dr martens i bought for £230 especially as i had just bought similar style suede boots from asos for £99 but in taupe a month earlier...although the dr martens are waaay more comfy. (Too late to return the asos boots especially as i got rid of the box)

I prioritise authenticity over aesthetics. I don't watch people to fawn over their lives; I prefer real over everything.
But truthfully aesthetics win all day. 😂😂 the problem is turning into something you are not to please the masses

I'll watch your authentic vlogs any day over any other *aesthetic* ones! ❤

I watch every video you post. For me, it's not about the aesthetics. It's about what's real. Thank you for speaking about this. 💙🖤
Thank you for this👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾…Very important topic to shed light 💡 on

Love your skin it’s beautiful!💕
I prefer the more authentic slow paced style videos compared to the over edited and extravagant productions we see today
Blessings & Joyful Holidays~I’m grasping this here and a little perplexed.
Oh no what is it that has you baffled?

Oooooo that sounds good. I definitely need to have my chicken prepped
I love this truth!
Wear them just to wear them which will stretch them and so when it's time to wear them your fit will slide right in

Hey, your hair is beautiful 😊 . Did you leave your hair out ? If so, are you relaxed or natural ?
I hope you logged in Dubai cause I really wanna see it. I love watching couple of Vlogs.
lol I did but with my track record you may not see it until two years from now 😂😂.
I’ll try to post it on Wednesday
