How do you feel about the statement “you’re not ugly, you’re just poor”?
Nobody is ugly, with or without money
It can make lots of sense at times but not all the time, I was born in a pretty wealthy family and I always had nice clothes and other stuff that would make me look pretty, even though of this my family kind of went bankrupt so i am average now but i am still pretty ,so it make sense at times but it really depends on if your broke broke or just kind of broke
Idk
U can be beautiful naturally , but if u have no money to keep yourself to be beautiful, in combination with " quality of life" and stresses , your beauty will fade away. Someone who was born rich not necessary beautiful. But, having 🤑 they surely can afford to be beautiful . Do u see the difference ?
Totally agree with yuh i was thinking about this topic recently
DAYUM THIS TITLE WAS PERSONAL ASF
Lol no but seriously 😭
Yeah 🤣😭
I saw this in my notifications and started dying of laughter
Ikr😭
Yeah I feel offended lol
my family is middle class but they send me to a pretty expensive private school (and in doing so spend a lot of their money on sending me to said school so i can get a good education) but most of the people there are extremely wealthy and always look flawless- and i always come to find out they don’t have a summer job, they buy designer clothes every month, get their nails done every other week, they have a dermatologist, a nutritionist, a personal trainer, etc. like no wonder you have perfect skin and clothes and hair
That really puts it into perspective! Like unless I had an issue that was causing me pain/discomfort and my GP can’t treat it I’ll probably never go to a dermatologist. Like I love skincare so it would be a dream but there’s no way I could justify spending the money for it!! Let alone all the rest of that. If I have extra I’d rather do something fun with my friends or donate it to someone who actually needs it
Yeah I wish my parents spent more on my appearance as a teen
The beauty standars in this generation is like a video game. Is not real
couldn't of said it better
@@kaleiya. yup
@RobloxMaster1987 i asked. Go back to your basement, scrote.
especially when men want women body to look like a kids body hairless the vagina have to be an innie no acne no scars no nothing nd its also related to sex and those gamers girls that act like kids to tease if uk what im talkin about
literally, but i could care less everyone is their own person
My mom made a point of telling me since I was a little girl, "There aren't ugly women, there are poor women"
God bless your mother
this is not entirely true, i have seen poor but really beautiful drop dead gorgeous with a glowing skin.
This title is sooo personal. As a student in college I'm almost always broke. So the surface level enhancements like dental hygiene/ skincare and makeup are just out of my league
I completely agree with what you.
Yupp
You can’t afford sunscreen? A toothpaste and floss? Those are the top three needed hygiene products (other than the ones for your period) that you need.
@@lisahoang3880 no not sunscreen. I live in a third world country, I'm already in student loan debt and only one parent is alive to help financially, who can't even fully help because he has elderly parents. So whatever money I get usually is to save for someone's birthday, go towards school/ money for lunch and stationery items also my pet. So yeah pads and stuff are okay but if I want to get my hair done I have to save and do it myself I try not to bother my dad, so it's not a matter of being frugal but my priorities don't leave room for anything too extra/lavish lol. One day tho!😁
@@lisahoang3880 only use my health card for dentist appointments so with what the university gives I have to find the cheapest places, which most times don't provide the best care yk
i always wondered “how come i’ve never seen a child actor that became ugly as an adult? or an ugly child of a celebrity” and the money deffo makes sense hahah
Macaulay Caulkin comes to mind....
@@amobaleiasassassinas Are you saying he is ugly? I'm trying to understand your comment.
@@vanesalodico7798 Not my opinion, but people seen to point him out as a cute child that didn't look as good after growing up. He had a very abusive dad and abused drugs, so that must've had an effect on him
Kid from home alone proves u wrong lmfao
Brooke shields kids look pretty normal tbh
Just one thing to add: Eating "bad" should not be associated with acne, yes it can affect your skin but many people eat fast food and have great skin. It is kind of a stigma that people with acne eat unhealthy- it must be tiring to hear that all the time
especially since the acne triggering things are in “healthy” food too- sugar, gluten, dairy, etc
@@imawakemymindisalive13 I know not everyone has the option but when I went vegan it cleared up my skin! You’re 100% right, dairy is awful for acne
@@alexism7800 When I tried veganism, it didn't clear my skin.
@@alexism7800 exactly! It's not about the presence of nutrients and macromolecules, it's more like the absence of irritants
@@chocolatecharley99 probably cuz u were still eating like shit
I think many beauty standards are not just based on the amount of products and services you can buy to alter your appearance, but also the amount of free time you have.
Having extra weight was considered beautiful in Europe when the people who fell into that category were mostly rich. Pale was the standard when the rich forced others to work outside and the poor couldn't avoid being tanner.
Now it has essentially flipped. The abundance of food means more people can put on extra weight, not to mention the abundance of junk food. More people work sedentary jobs. So having the time to work out and tan is a luxury.
(To anyone who wants to say it isn't because you personally make time for working out and whatever.....it is a luxury and congrats you aren't the poorest of the poor. You aren't the working poor. So you have time to workout and money to buy decent food to build the body you want.)
Anyways, it is all pretty sinister. Beauty is very tied to what the wealthy can afford to buy, the activities they can afford to avoid, and the time granted to them to do things that would make them look better.
And that's all before the money they can spend on surgeries or whatever else.
this is worded sooooo good, i agree 1000000%
I agree with this, a lot of stuff you find attractive is realted to being rich, Internet impact also has a in-depth video on this.
Speaking facts!!
The poorest of the poor are starving. I feel that 1st world feminism has made people forget this.
Yes!! And it’s not just having no time to workout but when you’re poor you’re more likely to be living in a neighborhood that is less safe, making it harder for people to just go on walks or a jog like a lot of people will suggest. There are so many socioeconomic factors that make it much easier for wealthy people to attain beauty. But it’s not just a beauty related problem it’s a serious public health issue - obesity, diabetes, heart conditions, are all more prevalent amongst lower income communities because they don’t have the time, energy, or resources to maintain their health - ok I could go on but I won’t, cause it will turn into an essay
Funny enough, I downloaded TikTok yesterday trying to find some decent fitness inspiration and then deleted it less than 24hrs later because constantly scrolling through videos of women with unrealistic beauty standards and comparing myself to them, i just know is not good for my mental health and obsessive personality.
I don’t even know you but I’m genuinely so proud of you for just deleting it and walking away!! It’s so easy to get sucked in and even if you know it’s not real it still affects us. Be gentle and kind with yourself! The best thing I’ve found is to just think of it as moving and find a way to move around that’s fun. Or multiple ways because it’s nice to have options :) that way I don’t get obsessive or start creating standards for myself. I’m a perfectionist so I need to just calm down and have fun with things like this! That’s all most people need for long term health anyway
it is really scary that tit tok is used mostly by teens and tweens.. you did the right thing
dont forget that we tend to compare ourselves to women with full face make up on while we're laying on our couches with a greasy bun on our heads
Bugger. I gor lucky I only look for DnD memes on that platform.
I must say, for me it’s not a question of ‘not being rich enough to afford PS’. I simply don’t want to risk my life / my natural beauty given by my parents for PS and potentially “looking better” according to very volatile standards.
I’m never going to judge people who get work done but to me, it should be first and foremost for people that require it for health purposes. My two cents on it.
Yup, normalizing plastic surgery is just not ok. No matter how people want to give excuses
Sounds harah but truth hurts
Being poor is even worse than being ugly, im tired
Money buys beauty
beauty standards are so unachievable. most of them are achieved with plastic surgery and even though I respect people's choices, it is sad that more and more people feel the need to interfere in their natural bodies to fit into these standards.
Ur vids are just eye openers for every one out there
U made me feel confident especially after I watched ur video about ur weight loss and acne journey
Cause I suffer from obesity and acne too,and u know what sucks,I exercise for about 2 hours everyday and hardly eat but still I’m fat
But ur vids made me realise that I need to go easy on myself and chill to achieve my goals
Don't worry you'll achieve you goals one day
No matters how long it takes keep believing in yourself
And don't forget the most important is your happiness ❤
( are you an Army ? )
Patience is the 1st key, self-love is the 2nd key, Consistency is 3rd key. Don't focus too much on it, go with the flow, follow some rules (mainly on proportions of your food intake, not what kind food you can eat or not), exercise a bit daily ! You're already on track, be proud for taking that first step ! And don't frustrate yourself, it makes everything worse !!
if you’re trying to lose weight, you still need to eat. you just need to avoid unhealthy foods , especially sugar. cutting sugar out of your diet will cause acne to go away as well!
Hey, congratulations on choosing to be a healthier version of yourself! I've also gone on a weight loss and acne clear-up journey. I was overweight close to obese when I was 13 due to excessive intake of food (my mom just loved me a bit too much lol). I went from 65kg to 49kg through the years, and it took me a year or more to clear-up.
What I found helpful was definitely how I eat.
-I was a student I do not move much in class so I'll eat less high calorie foods. Your calorie intake should match your physical activities in a day.
The best combination I found if you cannot make fancy foods is just a quarter of rice, half of vegetables and quarter of meat on a plate. I've been doing this diet for years and I kept losing weight naturally! Of course, avoid supper and only eat 3 times a day.
Starving yourself will only result in rubber-effect weight loss (aka gain back weight easily).
Exercising definitely helps so keep up with that! 🤩
It's a long journey, but it trains our patience! Try only recording your circumference of your body once a week instead of just the scale, look at your body! I've been on 49kg for a while and it stopped dropping but my muscles are more intact and slim, my friends even got shocked that I look slimmer than before even though my weight didn't change.
For acne, it's best to appoint a dermatologist, but if you're like me who can't afford one, you can download an app called "Picky", the app will match the best products according to your skin type and there are genuine reviews from other people who are like us.
Sleeping early definitely helps too. I've found that my acne cleared faster when I slept early during the holidays. So I'm trying to continue it right now!
All the best to you! You can do this!
for weight loss, have you looked into CICO? (calories in calories out). it helps a lot, i lost 30 kg in a year (from 84kg to 55kg, regained 2kg when i was 70kg and lost it again). i also lost 15kg without ever exercising, i just cut down my portions in half and watched what i was eating (i did CICO for the second 15kg and started walking 10k steps a day. i never once went gym lol). it's important to eat regularly imo (intermittent fasting can work for you if you know what you're doing, otherwise id stick to just having 3 meals a day regularly, snacking in between if you need to). plus it's important not to cut out foods you love - the entire time i lost 30kg i never once completely cut out chocolate and candy, i simply lessened my portions (e.g. 1 chocolate block instead of the whole pack). now i don't really eat them anymore bc i naturally lost interest in them, but if you try to quit sugar cold turkey you're going to fail - let yourself eat them and don't guilt yourself about it, just enjoy it. follow serving suggestions for portion sizes and incorporate more fruit and vegetables into your meals. good luck!!!
as for acne, i also struggle with it ngl even though i eat very clean now, but i notice my acne will flare a day or two before my period, so in my case i believe it's hormonal bc my skin goes clear once my period is done LOL. at the same time, if you're young, i wouldn't stress about it now, it naturally starts going away after you hit 18/19
I do agree with the title. aside from beauty being subjective, money can literally buy anything. as a poor college student (tm), I can guarantee the quality of sleep and stress will play a role on how you dress and other things like under eye bags and dark circles. a rich person probably only stresses over which purse to match to which car. If you don't like your teef, get braces. if you don't like your nose, get a nose job. poor people can't easily access these things. I'll even go as far to say that skinny/fit people also have better access to quality foods and personal trainers.
anyways, stan the traffic noise in every Zoe video lol!
Yeah you're right but there's something I don't agree with, not all rich people care about which purse to match their car, those people are spoiled sons and daughters who didn't work hard to earn their money, BCS someone who worked so hard to gain money won't be spending money on stupid things.
And these days, i see a lot of poor people who can't even afford to buy a small car or buy a house having the latest iphone, and spending money on stupid things.
Thx.
same here. as stressed and broke student, the more stressed and broke i got over the years the ''uglier'' i got. i put on weight (over 10 kgs) and got acne problems (something that i didn't have in high school)
The best thing i did is stop (trying) to be an influencer (had a decent following, but what makes someone an influencer?) And deleting social media. It boosted my self esteem so so much. Not only did I stop comparing myself to the other influencer (bc I didnt see them anymore), I also started appreciating my body more because I stopped wanting it to look "perfect" for pictures
That’s such a big step to take, you should be so proud of yourself!!
@@em6644 thank you 😊 I found that taking it gradually made it a lot easier then just going cold turkey :)
The whole mentality behind plastic surgery needs to go.
People will hate on you if you're ugly, they'll hate on you if you get plastic surgery to fix that and they'll hate on you if you keep your plastic surgery secret coz you don't wanna be hated on.
It's a vicious circle and we all need to come together to change that mentality.
There's nothing wrong with getting plastic surgery (if that's what you wanna do, do that but do proper research first) but there is something wrong with denying it and passing it off as natural as it enforces unrealistic beauty standards. HOWEVER, us as onlookers shouldn't judge those who get plastic surgery and hate on them for doing what they want with their body, they were honest and shouldn't be shamed for that and called fake.
We all need to be more accepting of those who get plastic surgery and less hateful, maybe then people won't try to pass if off as natural.
THIS!
People are not entitled to tell you they got plastic surgery. Humble yourself
@@MB-xv7er if they are celebrities making loads of money from their appearance (like actors or models), yeah, they should probably tell it to their fans or admirers... it’s more honest and respectful in a way.
@@MB-xv7er never said they were ☺
@@MB-xv7er celebrities should be responsible enough to own up to their alterations and be proud of them, so as to not enforce unrealistic beauty standards that harm the general audience's mental, physical, emotional health and beliefs on oneselves.
Finally someone showing the true, my mom always tell me this but when I was younger I didn't believe it, by the time I realized how true it's, thanks ZOE, like always super content , you make me fell more and more confident every time I see one of your videos, accepting myself as it is and working to take care of me and wanting to be beautiful with my own terms
Felt mildly attacked by the title😭😭 but I always love the commentary in your videos and love that you’re talking about this
haha same
Thank you Zoe for being my mentor..you made me realize that I'm pretty,I'm enough,how to be confident in your body,not to compare yourself with others,everything you sees on social media is not true...thank you for making me confident and to speak up for myself...Thank you for being there with me at my worst...really proud of you..love you
I don't use socials so I don't see this much. But I always think going outside and people watching is a great way to appreciate the individual beauty of each person. Just a gentle reminder that most people don't look like that 🥰
For real! I went to the mall for the first time since 2019 a month ago and after marinating in internet B.S for almost two years I was shooketh! I'm like okay hold up, people are actually normal out here, I just need to get off the bloody internet 😂
the worst thing that frightens me about plastic surgery is how it’s gonna look like when you’re 60, 70 or even 80 rather than 20 or 30. i rather love myself for myself than reduce myself to fit into a norm that changes all the time. love yourself because people are plain rude and jealous of others because they can’t learn to love themselves. sounds repetitive but true. peace ✌️
Well, overall depending on wat u get done it won't really matter. Most facial changes r at 3 levels injection or shaving bone or cartilage and fat injection. When it comes to injections it's not permanent u have to go back in every now and to keep it. Fat injections is just moving ur fat from 1 spot to another. So, basically that can fluctuate throughout life, BBLs r typically fat injections. For bone shaving and cartilage it will be more permanent, but it will change as the fat and skin on ur face changes. So, overall it won't be a big deal. The problems that occur r typically the 1s that do dramatic changes to their bodies. Going from an a to D cup depending on muscle and fat tissue and look bad, bc it won't fit the natural muscle and fat tissue u have so the implant will be more noticeable. Making ur nose super thin, doing lips that don't fit the border of ur lips. Basically it's making sure u don't go beyond ur bodies limits ull be fine. Not disagreeing with the rest, but overall the changes that u get when ur 20 or 30 won't be as big of a deal if u don't do over the top stuff.
no but i love zoe's hair sm in this video AAAAA QUEEN
Thank you so much, you just made a point that hasn’t been mentioned before. Also, I really needed that 😩 this video was like so ✨enlightening✨
Ya'll anyone can be "beautiful" at this point. Ya'll might disagree saying yourself but then if you just change up your style, gain confidence, put on makeup and change hair...I promise you can be a beautiful person in others eyes no matter what.
That's the thing tho, you need money for all of these changes 🤷 hence the statement "you're not ugly, you're just poor"
i look too masculine, my face is square. nice try tho 😃
@@eleanor1105 exactly
You need money to buy makeup....
easier said than done
Agreed...everything is going to need money in some way when it comes to beauty as a whole. Whether it comes down to the foods you eat, the clothes you wear, the products you purchase for your face, body, and hair, your going to need money for it.
Also I'm pretty sure you've mentioned this topic before in one of your previous vids.
I love how relatable the titles are becoming day by day
....btw love your videos
if i have money, i'd get monthly facial treatments, braces to fix my crooked teeth, hire a personal trainer, buy healthier organic food, not work = no stress, etc. So many things i can do with money that can improve my physical appearance lol
I feel bad for the children of those who underwent plastic surgery. I mean how will you explain to your children and everyone else the difference in looks? I mean...."Mom? Where did I get my nose from? " 😂
Thanks for the video Zoe!
They going to have to go to the doctor to look like mommy.
Not to mention the fact that beauty standards are ✨racist✨
Yep. Especially the rhinoplasty thing, how only small, button noses are considered “beautiful”. That comes directly from eugenics and N@zis, trying to figure out what genetically makes someone “Semetic” or “Mongaloid” or “African”
Yet Western European facial features became a huge part of the standard
Even if celebrities haven’t had plastic surgery, they have the means to get specialized facials and such whenever they want. Glad you pointed that out as well!
I think it’s just the mindset and how people internalize beauty. They are thousands of conventionally beautiful people not falling into these social media stuff. I literally gave zero fucks how I looked growing up. It’s once I grew up and saw people around me “glow up” that I saw how important beauty can be in society. Just do what you enjoy for you, not the views of others.
I love how you breakdown this very important topic. I love what you said about to stop comparing ourselves to rich celebs. 💜💜
Ooof this hits home. I’ve recently been having major struggles with my self esteem, and a large part of that is my inability to see my own beauty because all I can see is how I don’t measure up to what society deems beautiful and the social media influence I’m surrounded by. All I can see are my flaws and I have to fight to see my true beauty and worth. Thanks for the reality check! We need to hear it again and again these days.
You dont know how much I appreciate your work thank you so much
I disagree, we just have a perception that we have to look “naturally fixed” but in my opinion true RAW natural looks almost always looks more beautiful. It’s the down to earth, I don’t have to fixate on my looks and “I’m just happy living life” that vibrates out of those people that makes them beautiful because that in itself is a form of makeup. I believe also that by being on a lot of platforms, looking at girls like this that might be how you feel however, that’s why not spending to much time on social media and instead just go outside (which almost sound cliché by this point lol).
Thank you so much for posting!!🤍🤍🤍
girl, thanks. this is really good info for everyone. im poor, and im proud
We are not poor our wants are just less & we do not believe in wasting.💖
@@alicerocksell5379 👍♥️😘
So excited everytime you post! Thank you💖
this video is AMAZING. i agree to every single word you said and finally a video on youtube that actually makes sense. So happy you filmed it! thanks and well done!!!
My mom and I talked about this so much, and we got to your same conclusion, I thought everyone has tbh bcs I also have talked with my friends about it, mostly when you compare ppl before and after they get famous, even of they don't look like they got surgery, they ALWAYS look way more radiant
YOU LOOK STUNNING LOVE THE HAIR LOVE THE NAILS LOVE THE MAKEUP LOVE THE OUTFIT
This is the best advice I've heard on this topic.
thank you so much for your videos...i have been so insecure lately it's getting hard to look in the mirror or camera and not think of myself as horrendous. This video has helped me to be kinder to myself 🥺
Hey Zoe, I was passing through a very difficult moment of my life, dealing with anxiety disorder, imposter syndrome and depressive thoughts, and your videos literally saved me! I've never seen before someone talking so openly about the reality behind the internet glamour as you do. You're amazing, thank you for sharing amazing tips about self care and self improvement on your videos!
*I'm not an English speaker, I'm sorry if I've spelled something wrong. 😅
I hope you're doing better now 💙
It's 1 am here ... But who cares
Zoe's video is more important than my sleep 👻
And gurl you slay this hair colour ✨
lmao i watched it at 1 am when it was just uploaded. but i woke up and realized that i was way too distracted so here to watch it again
Zoe's content and videos never disappoints. it's a fact. 🧡
Excellent statement. Couldn't agree more! Sometimes is hard not to compare ourselves, but we'll keep trying! I especially like the part where you talked about investing in your depth (like books) and health in general (fitness, skincare) is the way to go.
I saw one of your old video and then i saw this one, and i can confirm that you have glowed up not only physically but also in terms of depth of the videos and topics
I loved your silly videos but these are so amazing as well
I love your channel!!!!
such a good video! zoe just always delivers with her content:)
Thank you Zoe for you’re insight on this I agree with your statements 💙
Am i the only one who is grateful that 18 y/o me didn't have the money to do crazy things to my face/body?
To some degree yes, I think my jaw/Chin could've been improved but I'd definitely done some bad choices as well
Well said Zoe. I'm glad you made this video. Agreed with everything you said.
This is a real issue but i’m comforted that where i live- tbh where most people live- is not a hugely urbanized, expensive place, kinda average, that these beauty standards aren’t the “standard” here. I never see people that look like these tiktok influencers, and most people don’t anyway. They’re outliers. I like to think that most people live average, authentic lives. :)
I love your videos. They are very informative and they make people feel included
Yes thank you so much Zoe for another amazing video, your commentary videos are interesting and I love how you discuss topics that are relevant to today's society, you're amazing :)
😭 you are so beautiful
fr the montage at 5:59 was the cutest thing i’ve ever seen😭
Your challenge is important for teenagers in this time and to remember this thing ♥️ 💜💜♥️ thank you
Quoting here a very wise person, whose opinion I value so much "Well it does stand to reason that poor people don't have the time and resources to do some of the things which rich people can do to "improve" their appearance. Not every body can afford moisturiser ( and some can't even spell it) let alone paying hundreds of pounds for products. But looks have always been a very superficial way to judge people. Being beautiful on the outside says nothing at all about the you on the inside and how much that is worth. And inner beauty will last a lot longer than outer even if the latter is helped by surgery and expensive cosmetics. Being beautiful may mean it's nice to look at you but that won't work for long if you can't string two sentences together or have a horrible character."
i’ve been loving these videos and the topics, truly top tier content
One thing that always annoyed me is celebs/influencers that say "oh, i do nothing special with my skin, just these products" and then you see them on their stories getting facials regulary. Also as a lucky naturally beautiful girl , I can say it does take work and money , going to the gym, skincare , haircare, the quality of your clothes and how you style them plays a big role in the naturally beautiful image. Over all to be fair, I think that the natural beauty look takes a lot more over all work than when you can see that person put effort . Also yes, usually being cultured and maybe good at some sport, plays a role in being seen as a cool naturally beautiful person, but that also takes money and even if you let's say take the books from online for free, takes time, museums cost money, gym and other sports lessons cost money. I am privileged enough to have the time and money to buy and do those things, but someone who works 8h/10h/12h a day and then has to cook, clean, relax a bit , sits further and further from what society considers to be perfect and easy to achive
it takes so, so much time, that is by far the biggest ivestment and its not talked about enough
It’s just amazing how you take any subject and you treat them seriously and truly with the good words. I’m very impressed !
I’m agree, we just don’t have what all these people have which is money. With money, you can buy the best products for your skin, hair etc or have a plastic surgery. That’s don’t mean that you’re ugly, just that you don’t have the same amount of money as people you see on tik tok or Instagram.
Plus, the society accentuate this feeling but we don’t have to feel like that. We don’t have to be depressed or anxious just because we see other girls have this or that things. We are all beautiful the way we are !
Sorry if it’s too long😭😭but I really enjoy these types of subjects.
Love you so much ❤️
I needed this video it choked me up thank you
thanks for making me realise i’m good enough
Every time I see these topics and think about these kind of things deeply, I realize how everything is targeted towards women and women are indeed diving into these things for what some of the other women who are unable to dive into actually feel "I'm not beautiful, I can never be like this, how do I look like this?".... All of these are so upsetting and terrifying to me 🙂🙂🙂
Love the pauses for annoying city sounds 😂
Great video. Love the topics you choose.
i love these videos!
this hairstyle is fire 🔥🔥
I'm so lucky to have found this channel
I think the problem also relates to the categorisation of features that make the incalculable concept of beauty attainable. All the beautiful faces and bodies seen on social media are usually construed into features - a small nose, almond shaped eyes, high cheekbones. However, one girl's harmony of her features is not necessarily defined by all these categories being present or absent. It is heartbreaking seeing people, especially girls, aspire to a "collection of features" that does not fit their unique facial structure
You landed on my feed and thankful that I can listen to someone diferent.
i live for these type of vids

I really needed this
I honestly couldn't keep my eyes off your hands ... Your nails are really pretty ... 🤭💗💗
I want to give her a crown 👑 such a queen she is💕
I love your commentary videos. They r thought provoking n make me realise that somehow I was doing things which I critique about others. So that was an eye opener 👀👀. I'll try changing my personality
Just wanna say that I love your outfit - so cute!
Your videos are always a reality check for me and give food for thoughts, not just pleasing to watch (but they ARE really well made, always).
Personally, while I was very open to plastic surgery, I tend to dislike the "concept" more now. I would never ban plastic surgery since some people truly dislike features on themselves no matter how much they try to overcome their insecurities and everyone (or those with money..) should have the option to change it. Some people want to change traumas after, for example, getting in an accident or even have physical features after getting physically abused they do not want to be reminded of or being characterized by it.
However, as you said in this video or others, bodies and body types keep on becoming "trendy". In oder to take part in these "trends", people change themselves. When the trend is over and your body does not "fit in" in the new, consistently changing standard, you might regret it after finding out that you did not do it for yourself after all.
Now while writing this comment, maybe plastic surgery itself is not the problem but the mindset and the advertisement on social media.
One thing though: I found that the music and sound effects were a bit loud compared to your talking. While I was still able to understand you, it could be troubling for others. Maybe it's just me.
Just something to think about if you’re looking in the mirror talking down to yourself… My kidneys failed at 26, I have had 2 transplants since then… Now 33… My hair has just started to grow back, but I am very skinny because of my health. And I am just hoping to get to a place where I look healthy… Even healthy looking like shit at the gym. My idea of beauty went out the window when there wasnt anything to help me pee/make my hair grow back. I really think beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but there is a certain amount of health that plays into that. My self esteem dropped when hair fell out in chunks, or when I had to wear masks to go to dialysis and had such bad mask acne. If you’re really blessed to even have the health to then make yourself you’re lucky. I am not saying everyone needs to walk in my shoes, but no amount of money could have helped the way I felt when my body was struggling. This also with Covid, I lived in pajamas as well. I have a whole new wardrobe and want to look pretty for the first time in years. But I used to just want to wake up and look healthy without any make up, ect.
I wish you all good health and happiness in life sis ❤️❤️❤️
I love you Zoe ! 🥺❤️
You're my role model.🥺🛐
Is it just me that every time her notifications pop up and I see the title I take it personal and start laughing 🥲
so true!! 😭💕
Your so pretty oml
"Do you ever wonder: am I ugly or am I just poor?"
Both. I stopped wondering a long time ago.
Zoe, may I just say, you look stunning in every video, I love your outfits, and your hair ♡♡
love ur hair
Sometimes i wonder if she knows how pretty we think she is
You are the social media person i follow and think is really pretty
Zoe your hair is so pretty and cool💙🦋
I really you Zoe because you are telling the truth of false beauty . U really open my eyes . Some of them maybe really beautiful but not all of them . By this thing you really breaking the fake fantasy and expectations of people who only think that outside beauty is important than inner once. Thank you so much Zoe for making these kind of videos 💓 . I really appreciate you 😊
i love your videos so much!
That’s such a true statement. I’d say beauty is also a measure of happiness as well though, I think you find more things beautiful, the happier you are. And happiness can come from anywhere, in any form. Sometimes its hard to see the beauty in yourself if you’re in a sad\bad place. I feel like “beauty” and “beautiful people” are always happy so, if you become like them, you’ll be happy? But really it’s if you are happy within yourself, you are beautiful. Beauty doesn’t “make you happy”.
Love these videos ❤️
I really like your hair it look really good on you ❤❤❤
