Also. I think it's smart to be realistic and healthy in your goals and whatnot, but then we have the channels like simplynailogical where she was strictly a nail art channel, which is such a specific and niche thing, and now she has exploded from just showing her personality in her videos and being diverse in her content. She's one in a million, but I really think you're like that. You're so unique and funny and likable. You're real and relatable and you get internet humor. So, I think he realistic but don't assume you could never make a career out of this TH-cam thing. Because I really think you could. 🖤
Jasmyn Vincent this is true! I'm not into vintage for myself nor am I into Harry Potter but I'm so into Rachel! She cracks me up and I love watching her talent, creativity and beautiful videos she makes! I have gotten so many people to watch her because of those things! Everyone ends up loving her! I love to see her different style! I guess what I'm trying to say is she doesn't have to worry about a niche because anyone that finds her loves her and will watch her
Agree. I love her style and her vintage hauls ect but I personally don’t dress vintage or collect vintage things or anything close to that. I like her for her. Im not even sure how I found this channel really, but im here to stay because of her personality. I watch everything she uploads even if the topic isn’t my favorite thing. But is good to be realistic esp with all the youtube changes that could not mean a steady income. Although, I don’t see her breaking any of their rules so technically she might be able to. Just take it step by step. A lot of youtubers have their job still and this as a hobby, so they just upload a couple times a month instead which is fine 😊 you don’t want to burn out like so many have.
girllll you betta do them transformations! Even tho someone else may have done it before, ull always have ur own special twist to ur look so dontchu worry and deliverrrrr :)
I'm so happy watching this video now knowing that you ended up doing TH-cam full time and knowing how AMAZING your videos are! I'm so obsessed with your videos and I hope you continue to be super successful with this and/or anything else you choose to do in life (preferably something you can still use to share your awesome content with us!)
Coming back to this in 2022, you've nearly got a Million subs, and every one of them is well earned. We love you Rachel. I actually watch your videos every night to settle in to bed. Love to see how far you've come xo
I totally understand where you are coming from about keeping things realistic. I just wanted to say a few things. First and foremost, I think almost every single one of your subscribers would agree that they like your channel so much because of you and your beautiful personality, not just because of the content of your videos. We want to see you, and your videos happening to be about something I like is just an added bonus hahaha. It is true that dressing vintage/retro is a niche fashion, though it is one that is growing rapidly. However, I don't think it's accurate to assume that the only people who are going to watch your videos are people who dress the same as you. Every video I see comments from people saying they love your videos even though they don't dress vintage. I mean, in my experience, I get compliments every day on my retro style from people who don't dress retro/vintage, but still love and appreciate the asthetic. As opposed to other niche groups that are only appealing to those within that group, vintage fashion is timeless, and something that's reach spreads well beyond the group that dresses that way. It's great that you are being wise and not being like "I have almost 50,000 I should quit my job cause I'm TH-cam famous!" However, when thinking about what your audience is, I think you are limiting yourself and forgetting how many people watch just because you are awesome!
As long as you don't start saying "SMASH THAT LIKE BUTTON, HIT SUBSCRIBE" because that's what bad youtubers obsess over, you should do whatever you want with your channel! It might be a niche, but you'd be surprised how many people love everything vintage. I'm a history major and I am all over it.
I agree...even though it is a niche, I think there's a ton of appeal for all sorts of people. I only lean toward vintage style in my wardrobe *very sparingly* but I love the whole vibe of these videos, history, and of course her fabulous personality and humor!
Four years and nearly 1 Million subscribers later. Your videos are amazing and I am so happy to have been able to watch you and your channel grow and thrive!
I think when you put yourself out there for others to see, you feel very vulnerable. We all want approval and love. I think I could never do TH-cam, because if I got a single dislike, I would want to go hide in a cave and never talk to anyone again!! I think you are right about being in a niche, but I think that you are doing amazing! You'll get there, but it will be more of a steady pace. Keep being yourself. I love your personality because it is quirky and fun. ❤️
this was a suggested video for me. I went and watched your niece adoption video. such a beautiful capture of the love in that family. happy adoptiversary, aileen! great job, rachel. glad you are following now the dream you had in 2017!
I fell in love with this dress when you posted on Insta and I’m still in love with it now!! You look so lovely in green! Also a majority of my friends do drag and most of them don’t have brows at all. And they somehow pull that off out of drag. I think the shaving off the ends is a smart idea too. Also also I’m excited for more transformations/just all around autumnal vids!! My fave season hell yeah
I love the rawness and style of your videos, I feel like it's so hard to find vintage style TH-camrs that are full time, but it is a gem especially for us who prefer the vintage fashion , I do believe this community is growing and its far from dying , so hopefully even if you don't do TH-cam full time you do continue to bring out videos because it really is great to watch your videos and connect with your style.
Fwiw, I don’t wear vintage, and don’t plan on it either... I subscribed purely because of your personality and the format of your channel. Niche or not, you rock! 💕
I love that you're doing TH-cam full time now! Glad you listened to your instincts! I watch your videos because I think you're hilarious and soooooooooooo talented!
Awww 😍 I’m newer to the channel and am working my way back through your videos, and I’m so proud and happy that you have been able to be full time on TH-cam for over a year at this point!!! And your content is still just as charming and engaging as usual :)
You should do a Disney bounding look book!!! I love Disney bounding and would love to see what you put together. Especially if they're all vintage and beautiful. You already have the perfect blue dress for the new Cinderella movie.
I've been having a terrible day, week, month, and on my hour drive to work today I decided to watch your videos. I've been saving some of them up to watch them all at once, and they really make me happy! You are the most genuine and entertaining TH-camr without trying so hard and seeming so fake. It might because the content is thoroughly enjoyable to me or you're just a cool ass person. Keep it up, I love you doll!
As a chronic over-thinker myself (it has taken me like 30 min to decide what to put here and I'm still super anxious about it), I GET YOU GIRL. Just don't worry about the numbers or the stats, and keep doing what you love. I, for one, really appreciate your content because this channel has encouraged me to finally embrace a more vintage style. Vintage style just feels more "me" and I've needed encouragement to get there. So thank you for that. Also, I watched a little bit of your short films and they are waaaaay better that the short films I made in college, so don't be embarrassed! I'm pretty sure most of the ones I was involved in never made it to the light of day haha. :D
or even vintage styles inspired by movies that are either modern or vintage. thats might be really cool putting a vintage spin on modern characters like she does with vintage harry potter
This really spoke to me. I'm glad you talk to us. I'm in the same place and I went to film school too for writing. It really put me at ease and started making me think about how I view creativity. Also, I just love this. You're amazing.
Thank you for the update, it's nice of you to share. You're not alone with how you feel. I think you'll be glad to have chosen integrity over "views". I'm looking forward to hearing more about your short-film projects. That dress looked great on you and the addition of the darker lipstick on top of that bright red was just what was needed.
First of all, your house looks so cozy and wonderful and it makes me want to snuggle up with a good book and a blanket every time I see it :) And second, have you considered doing another vintage inspired lookbook of a fandom? Like how you did with Harry Potter? Maybe an LOTR or a video game inspired one would be really cool!
Heehee thank you!!! I definitely want to! The HP one took me forever to make and lots of money 😂😂 so I'm kinda just spacing the next one out. But LOTR is definitely on the list!
I went back and re-watched some of your older videos today. Voila! A new video! You remind me so much of myself (ha ha, concieted much?) with your unique style and personality. Lots of ❤ from California!
There's a lot of tutorials out there yes, but it's also really interesting to see other people's take on how to do something, so tutorials would still be fun to watch. However, listening to you chat is also nice and calming, so either way would be fun, as long as you enjoy doing it!
Just so you know, I just found your channel yesterday, and I must have watched 20 of your videos already. I've never cared about anything vintage before, I don't necessarily fit into your 'niche' but this is TH-cam. This is the place where people get to see into other people's lives, no matter how different they are. That's what makes you appealing, that's your passion, and for me personally, that's exactly what I love about watching you. You're totally immersed in that world. So don't feel like it's deterring people!!!
I really like listening to you talking about what's on your mind and organizing stuff for university, christmas and life along the way. It feels like we're in the same flat and you get ready and keep talking because we haven't seen each other for a while - I know it sounds a bit weird but honestly I like the videos because they are always honest and a little less slimmed/smothed/modified. Oh and for the Halloween stuff just keep it like this, say a little what you do but keep the focus on your fun doing them!
yesss i adore these chatty get ready with mes! your personality/humor is my favorite, i always laugh out loud while watching your videos. you are amazing! and you looked lovely
As for the future of the channel, honestly, you do you. I completely understand the worry of being more of a niche channel, but as I know from personal experience and from looking through comments, a lot of people watch youtubers even if they don't really care about what their gimmick is, like people who watch nail art videos when they don't paint their nails, they just like the person. When I stumbled across you, I didn't really care much about the vintage style, but there was a sliiiiight interest due to Fallout. You are just so super funny and super cute and now I can't stop watching. Watching your videos has even gotten me to start thinking about trying out the vintage style. I can certainly say you've made an impact on me and now I'm trying to shove your videos in my friends faces pretty much. Just continue doing what makes you happy and makes you smile and I am sure you will keep this little community growing.
I particularly love your makeup videos because your level of give a flip is about on par with what I feel like the average persons is. Like - here is a thing, I use it on ma face, I’ve no idea what it is but it looks good enough it’s fine. You’re so charming and fun to watch!
I found you this weekend and I'm so happy! I've binged watched, as you do , and I love your personality, content and find you so watchable. Love the vintage clothing and style and your videos are very entertaining. I have no doubt there are thousands like me that will find you, follow and enjoy. Keep doing what you're doing xxxx much love from England xx
If it helps at all, you are not that deep into a "niche" that you need to concern yourself with a "target audience" in my humble opinion. "Living history" and history enthusiasts and reenactment and people who dress some kind of vintage are all over the world. Because history is important. We wouldn't study it if it wasn't. We wouldn't have antique shops or museums if it wasn't. If it was that niche, there wouldn't be degrees in history or movies like The Mummy or Indiana Jones. But there are countless examples of them. There are almost 7.5 billion people on this planet. And most of them enjoy some form of learning about history. Because history is about the people who came before us and what they did and our connections, the things that make us all human no matter the time period. How is that "niche"? Don't let those comments scare you! If making videos ever feels like a chore, don't make yourself do it. As long as you're enjoying it, make whatever you want. Make a whole video of Mr. Bean faces if that makes you happy. See how fast I watch it and a bunch of other people too. We are here for you because human beings like seeing what makes each other happy, no matter what you chose to share with us. PS: When it comes to tutorials vs transformations: I love both, but if it is easier/more comfortable for you to keep doing transformations, I think the best of both worlds is a transformation where you share the tips and tricks you've learned along the way for makeup/cosplays. Take care!!!
Shoot for the stars!! Even if you do vintage I feel a lot of us are here because of YOU. I love how chill, funny, quarky, creative, sincere and more you are! I have no doubt you will someday be able to go full time. I don't dress vintage what so ever and I still click so fast to watch your videos. Do any videos you want even if ppl have already done it. We want to see YOU do it. NEVER GIVE UP ON THAT DREAM! Ps would love to meet you at Disney!
Thank you for your videos, they made the pandemic livable. Your personal style, aesthetic, humor are important, and in a sort of more ineffable way, I appreciate your femininity (and playfulness!) and consistency as a content creator. I think your channel is refreshing, wholesome and relatable.
I've had ALL of your videos on auto play the last few days since I discovered your channel and OMG I cannot get enough. Seriously, you are so funny and entertaining and our tastes for stuff overlap so much. lol Hope you're staying sane right now and thanks for the amazing content.
I honestly smile the whole video and laugh out loud, too. Oh my gosh your dog is the best. 😂 It's good to ponder 🤔. As far as your videos having a specific niche, I guess they do but I made it here without a specific interest in vintage dressing, etc. I adore vintage, thrift shopping and all, but I just found your humor smart and channel interesting. Looking forward to watching your films and anything you'd be interested in doing.
Rewatching old videos and see your Abingdon pottery mug!! Hope you still have that. 🧡 I grew up in the country not too far away from Abingdon, Illinois. Rivals for my old stomping grounds. But the pottery was awesome. Sadly short lived.
You are my favorite person on TH-cam! I'd support you, your videos are A+. Do what makes you happy, I'll keep watching regardless because they make me happy.
Oh gosh I'm so glad I've discovered your channel!! 😍 I absolutely LOVE everything you've created here + you've given me the confidence to get my vintage-hair-game on point! In concluuusion THANK YOU YOU GLORIOUS HUMAN BEING!! ☺️💛 X
19:30 I love your longer videos, because I have them on while doing other things around the house, I just enjoy listening to you and then later on I rewatch what I like the most to pay more attention.
I could not resist anymore and subscribe😅 Sometimes I just go to your old videos when I want something calming , funny and just perfect for a little "me time" afternoon. Slightly like hanging out with a good friend that I do not have close to me 🙁😁 Thank you for such a content 😊
Your videos are so unique and amazing!! I think that more and more people will definitely gravitate towards your channel. And girl- have the most bomb time in Disney & Universal! Those places are both so magical
4:50 I was 4 feet away from my laptop just sewing on my machine listening to this vid and watching it with half of my left eye.... and I had to just stop to come up here to say this. I know that it's been 3 years ago and my comment is irrelevant now, but in case anyone else who doing something niche is considering doing youtube full time. Don't worry about it. For most people ultimately it's all down to your personality, if they like you they'll watch you regardless of the content. I'm myself not dressing vintage and I'm here. I got here from Bernadette's video "Why Are You Dressed Like That" and I stayed, already watched at least half of Rachel's vids and I keep watching more. Which says a lot how important are colabs with other youtubers.
THANKYOU so much for your enjoyable and entertaining video's, don't ever change. you are a beautiful and inspiring lady. I love vintage, you have helped me find my true inner soul.
I checked out your film videos just now, and not sure why, but the “video reel 2016” literally made me almost cry 😭😂 I love your work by the way it’s absolutely beautiful.
LOVE! My daughter and I look forward to your videos every week! She's asleep already so she'll have to wait till tomorrow 😌 You are so hilarious and relatable! Love the dress 👗 btw 💁🏻
I subscribed because of what you said about being a full time you tuber. You’ve inspired me to start with a vintage style, and I want your channel to grow because your videos are amazing! Keep on doing you, and if you want to do full time and it works for you, then go for it!!
I just want you to know that I watch your channel for you, as a person. Your humour and your videos, whatever they may be about, get me through my day. And I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way. So, if you want to make transformation videos, you should! There will always be people watching you, and genuinely enjoying your content. It breaks my heart to see someone so talented like yourself, doubting your capabilities. If making videos is what drives you, do it and the rest will follow.
Hi Rachel!! You are literally my favorite person to watch on TH-cam and every time I see you post a video I get so excited and I sit my lil but down and watch that shit. So honestly you could post anything and I’m here for it dude. Alsooooo I noticed you were having a lil trouble with your lash glue not drying down and usually it’s because the brand of glue, so if you’re ever in the drug store (usually Walgreens) they have a Kiss lash glue w aloe that comes in a white tube with a gold top and it dries down super quick and it has changed my lash game forever! Have a lovely day ❤️
Honestly, I'm sooo glad I found your Channel (usually I don't watch TH-cam Videos) and your IG account! You changed my view on clothes and style completely. I secretly wanted to dress like a hobbit/witch like forever, but thought it would be too weird for work (I'm a teacher) and every day life. But you've given me so much inspiration for unusual, yet stylish outfits that my wardrobe slowly is taken over by ... EARTH TONES (and vintage blouses, vests, long skirts etc.). Also I'm quite new to your channel, so I'm watching a lot of your old videos right now (and posting weird comments :P ).
I would love to see where you keep your clothing and accessories, if that's something you could do a video on.... Do you keep stuff organized or is there a wild messy realism to it?
It would be so cute to see a series of makeup transformations! Like, Disney villains or eeveelutions! Or maybe wizard of oz inspired looks and outfits? Honestly I would love to see you do anything in your vintage style ❤️❤️❤️
Amusing to see this now in November of 2021 and see how successful you’ve gotten. And how not so niche your content is! I adore it all! Crafts and vintage! All I neeeedd beebeee!
I'm not interested in dressing vintage but I just like watching your videos. I just find them cosy and interesting to watch and you're just a really cool person, so I was excited when I heard you started working full time for youtube.
I know this is an older video but I wanted to say that when I found your channel, I was actually looking at Harry Potter videos because I'm a huge fan. Your style was an afterthought and now, the HP content is as well. I watch your videos because I genuinely find you as a content creator interesting! Be it vintage style or vlogs, I enjoy your content for what it is, good content. Your personality, editing style and sense of humor grab my attention and I enjoy it. Anyway, I just felt like I had to pause the video and put that out there.
I am in love with your voice, its so soothing (not meaning to be creepy xD) and I also find the music you have running in the background very interesting. I would love to see a video about that music or generally vintage/pinup/old music you like.
Watching three years later, and looking how far she’s come! Very proud Rachel!
Also. I think it's smart to be realistic and healthy in your goals and whatnot, but then we have the channels like simplynailogical where she was strictly a nail art channel, which is such a specific and niche thing, and now she has exploded from just showing her personality in her videos and being diverse in her content.

whossoul Aww thank you so much my love ❤️❤️ It's hard to see things from just beyond my little perspective so this helped a lot!
I agree with this comment. Yaas I do.
Totally agree with this comment 150% :)
Well said whossoul!!!
Yesssssss 🙌
As long as you don't start saying "SMASH THAT LIKE BUTTON, HIT SUBSCRIBE" because that's what bad youtubers obsess over, you should do whatever you want with your channel! It might be a niche, but you'd be surprised how many people love everything vintage. I'm a history major and I am all over it.
Hahahaha I would pretty much only ever do it ironically I think 😂😂❤️❤️ Thank you lovely!!
I agree...even though it is a niche, I think there's a ton of appeal for all sorts of people. I only lean toward vintage style in my wardrobe *very sparingly* but I love the whole vibe of these videos, history, and of course her fabulous personality and humor!

I love your personality because it is quirky and fun. ❤️

i absolutely LOVE your style and energy!

Ashley Raphael It's such a nice emerald green! I would totally shave them all off if I wasn't a chicken hahahaha. Thank you cutie!
watching this in 2020 after you’ve gone full time for a year. you’re doing great and i’m glad you made the jump despite feeling nervous about it.
I'm flipping excited for your Halloween videos! I like tutorials, but listening to you chat about random stuff is fun.
prettythinker meee too
prettythinker Heehee thank you love!!!
I love the rawness and style of your videos, I feel like it's so hard to find vintage style TH-camrs that are full time, but it is a gem especially for us who prefer the vintage fashion , I do believe this community is growing and its far from dying , so hopefully even if you don't do TH-cam full time you do continue to bring out videos because it really is great to watch your videos and connect with your style.

Alyson W. Awww thank you so much, that's good to know!! ❤️
I love that you're doing TH-cam full time now! Glad you listened to your instincts! I watch your videos because I think you're hilarious and soooooooooooo talented!
I’m 3 years late to this video buttttt I don’t dress vintage or anything, but I love watching your videos. Your personality is why I’m here.
Awww 😍 I’m newer to the channel and am working my way back through your videos, and I’m so proud and happy that you have been able to be full time on TH-cam for over a year at this point!!! And your content is still just as charming and engaging as usual :)
I'm so glad you decided to follow your dream after all! Your videos bring me joy!
I would love to hear you speaking about vintage home decor and how you put your house together
Les heures Noted! Thank you so much love ❤️❤️❤️
You should do a Disney bounding look book!!! I love Disney bounding and would love to see what you put together. Especially if they're all vintage and beautiful. You already have the perfect blue dress for the new Cinderella movie.
MissZAdlez I'd love that! Thank you 😊😊
I've been having a terrible day, week, month, and on my hour drive to work today I decided to watch your videos. I've been saving some of them up to watch them all at once, and they really make me happy! You are the most genuine and entertaining TH-camr without trying so hard and seeming so fake. It might because the content is thoroughly enjoyable to me or you're just a cool ass person. Keep it up, I love you doll!
Awww that makes me happy!! Thank you so so much❤️❤️

AHH you're so sweet, this means so much to me! And aww yayy that's awesome! Hahaha oof I cringe so hard when I watch mine 😂😂
I think it would be cool to make vids recreating vintage styles from movies.... like perhaps a Captain America Peggy Carter look :)
BottleBlondeGal agreed! Funny because I was thinking about how she looks a lot like my friend when SHE cosplays Peggy
yess!! vintage cosplays would be so cool
yes!
I'd love that!
or even vintage styles inspired by movies that are either modern or vintage. thats might be really cool putting a vintage spin on modern characters like she does with vintage harry potter
This really spoke to me. I'm glad you talk to us. I'm in the same place and I went to film school too for writing. It really put me at ease and started making me think about how I view creativity.
Also, I just love this. You're amazing.
I love the socks! My go to at home clothes. Comfortable and no make up!
Thank you for the update, it's nice of you to share. You're not alone with how you feel.
I think you'll be glad to have chosen integrity over "views". I'm looking forward to hearing more about your short-film projects.
That dress looked great on you and the addition of the darker lipstick on top of that bright red was just what was needed.
FreakyBo0o Definitely! Life is too short to stress about dumb stuff like that 😂❤️
First of all, your house looks so cozy and wonderful and it makes me want to snuggle up with a good book and a blanket every time I see it :) And second, have you considered doing another vintage inspired lookbook of a fandom? Like how you did with Harry Potter? Maybe an LOTR or a video game inspired one would be really cool!
Heehee thank you!!! I definitely want to! The HP one took me forever to make and lots of money 😂😂 so I'm kinda just spacing the next one out. But LOTR is definitely on the list!
Came here for the vintage, but sticked around for you (your personality, your sense of humour, you're awesome!)
Usually i get bored watching these and start watching something else but I love listening to you talk !!
+Jordan C Aww hehe thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️
I went back and re-watched some of your older videos today. Voila! A new video! You remind me so much of myself (ha ha, concieted much?) with your unique style and personality. Lots of ❤ from California!
Hallie Hasslinger Heehee thank you so much my love!!
There's a lot of tutorials out there yes, but it's also really interesting to see other people's take on how to do something, so tutorials would still be fun to watch. However, listening to you chat is also nice and calming, so either way would be fun, as long as you enjoy doing it!
Jordyn C Thank you!! ❤️❤️❤️
Just so you know, I just found your channel yesterday, and I must have watched 20 of your videos already. I've never cared about anything vintage before, I don't necessarily fit into your 'niche' but this is TH-cam. This is the place where people get to see into other people's lives, no matter how different they are. That's what makes you appealing, that's your passion, and for me personally, that's exactly what I love about watching you. You're totally immersed in that world. So don't feel like it's deterring people!!!
Awww that makes me feel so much better!! Thank you ❤️
*Patiently waiting for Rachel's subscriber count to BLOW UP...*
Strawberry Shortcake 😂❤️❤️❤️
It happened 🙌
Loved the look and the dress is amazing. Also the outtakes at the end are great. I love when people are as derpy as me.
Kathy Berger Heehee thank you cutie!
I really like listening to you talking about what's on your mind and organizing stuff for university, christmas and life along the way. It feels like we're in the same flat and you get ready and keep talking because we haven't seen each other for a while - I know it sounds a bit weird but honestly I like the videos because they are always honest and a little less slimmed/smothed/modified. Oh and for the Halloween stuff just keep it like this, say a little what you do but keep the focus on your fun doing them!
FreelySnowflake I totally feel that same way when I watch other GRWM's hehe! Thank you so much my loveeee!
your comment is very kind, thank your for replying.
yesss i adore these chatty get ready with mes! your personality/humor is my favorite, i always laugh out loud while watching your videos. you are amazing! and you looked lovely
makeupismyfoundation Heehee Ahh thank you pretty lady!!
As for the future of the channel, honestly, you do you. I completely understand the worry of being more of a niche channel, but as I know from personal experience and from looking through comments, a lot of people watch youtubers even if they don't really care about what their gimmick is, like people who watch nail art videos when they don't paint their nails, they just like the person. When I stumbled across you, I didn't really care much about the vintage style, but there was a sliiiiight interest due to Fallout. You are just so super funny and super cute and now I can't stop watching. Watching your videos has even gotten me to start thinking about trying out the vintage style. I can certainly say you've made an impact on me and now I'm trying to shove your videos in my friends faces pretty much. Just continue doing what makes you happy and makes you smile and I am sure you will keep this little community growing.
Ahh thank you so so much lovely. This makes me feel better!!
I absolutely love the interior design of your home. I want to see it all!
Jane Rouse Aww thank you so so much lovely!
I particularly love your makeup videos because your level of give a flip is about on par with what I feel like the average persons is. Like - here is a thing, I use it on ma face, I’ve no idea what it is but it looks good enough it’s fine. You’re so charming and fun to watch!
I found you this weekend and I'm so happy! I've binged watched, as you do , and I love your personality, content and find you so watchable. Love the vintage clothing and style and your videos are very entertaining. I have no doubt there are thousands like me that will find you, follow and enjoy. Keep doing what you're doing xxxx much love from England xx
Heehee awww thank you so much sweetness!!
If it helps at all, you are not that deep into a "niche" that you need to concern yourself with a "target audience" in my humble opinion. "Living history" and history enthusiasts and reenactment and people who dress some kind of vintage are all over the world. Because history is important. We wouldn't study it if it wasn't. We wouldn't have antique shops or museums if it wasn't. If it was that niche, there wouldn't be degrees in history or movies like The Mummy or Indiana Jones. But there are countless examples of them. There are almost 7.5 billion people on this planet. And most of them enjoy some form of learning about history. Because history is about the people who came before us and what they did and our connections, the things that make us all human no matter the time period. How is that "niche"? Don't let those comments scare you! If making videos ever feels like a chore, don't make yourself do it. As long as you're enjoying it, make whatever you want. Make a whole video of Mr. Bean faces if that makes you happy. See how fast I watch it and a bunch of other people too. We are here for you because human beings like seeing what makes each other happy, no matter what you chose to share with us. PS: When it comes to tutorials vs transformations: I love both, but if it is easier/more comfortable for you to keep doing transformations, I think the best of both worlds is a transformation where you share the tips and tricks you've learned along the way for makeup/cosplays. Take care!!!
Kelsey Burroughs Ahh this is amazing and totally what I needed! Thank you so much my love ❤️ Also I lol'd at "a whole video of Mr. Bean faces" 😂😂😂
Shoot for the stars!! Even if you do vintage I feel a lot of us are here because of YOU. I love how chill, funny, quarky, creative, sincere and more you are! I have no doubt you will someday be able to go full time. I don't dress vintage what so ever and I still click so fast to watch your videos. Do any videos you want even if ppl have already done it. We want to see YOU do it. NEVER GIVE UP ON THAT DREAM! Ps would love to meet you at Disney!
LifeMeetSteph Heehee Ahh thank you so much my beauty!!! ❤️
If you had only known what was to come 💛💛💛 thanks for being an inspiration!
Thank you for your videos, they made the pandemic livable. Your personal style, aesthetic, humor are important, and in a sort of more ineffable way, I appreciate your femininity (and playfulness!) and consistency as a content creator. I think your channel is refreshing, wholesome and relatable.
Watching this one again tonight - so proud of you. Keep up the great work. I love everything you post.
I love your chatty videos. I love all your videos. You're one of my favorite channels if not my fav! 💖
Aww thank you so much lovely!! That means a lot!!
Very neat to watch and learn how you do your makeup! I love your videos and just your general attitude, you're very inspiring to me ❤️❤️
Jenna Curlee Ahh you're the sweetest!
I've had ALL of your videos on auto play the last few days since I discovered your channel and OMG I cannot get enough. Seriously, you are so funny and entertaining and our tastes for stuff overlap so much. lol Hope you're staying sane right now and thanks for the amazing content.
I honestly smile the whole video and laugh out loud, too. Oh my gosh your dog is the best. 😂 It's good to ponder 🤔. As far as your videos having a specific niche, I guess they do but I made it here without a specific interest in vintage dressing, etc. I adore vintage, thrift shopping and all, but I just found your humor smart and channel interesting. Looking forward to watching your films and anything you'd be interested in doing.
Aww thank you so much my love!!
YASS we got the brush out!! I hope you had a great time at the wedding, you look gorgeous!
Rewatching old videos and see your Abingdon pottery mug!! Hope you still have that. 🧡 I grew up in the country not too far away from Abingdon, Illinois. Rivals for my old stomping grounds. But the pottery was awesome. Sadly short lived.
My sweet lord has brought me a new video, BLESS 💕💕💕💕
KittyKat Novak Hahahaha you're too cuuuuuuteeeee
I really enjoy just the timelapse transformations, I feel as if you can really just focus on how you change, I think they're great fun :) x
maskermind Thank you so much love!!
IM INTERESTED IN YOUR PERSONAL FILM WORKS 🙋🏼
Jasmyn Vincent me too!

Watching this 4 years later knowing how many subs you have a views you get fills my little heart with joy! ❤
YAAAASSSS, i love it when you post it makes me so freaking happy😇💖
Purple Wolf 101 Heehee Awww yay!!
You are my favorite person on TH-cam! I'd support you, your videos are A+. Do what makes you happy, I'll keep watching regardless because they make me happy.
Heehee aww thank you so so much lovely 😊
Your chit chats give me such a cozy feeling with this vintage style yess
Maria Cervantes Hehehe aww yay!
I really enjoy anything you post I find it fun and entertaining!
Aww yay!! 😊
Yay ! Fall is here, halloween décoration, halloween vibes,creepy disneyland and beautiful vintage outfits *best season of da yeaaaaar
Heehee yeeees!!! Thank you love!
"Homework? What's that?" I ask myself when I get the notif for this. Time to procrastinate for a good cause😂
Ariel ! Hahahaha ❤️❤️❤️
I love the dark red color of your hair in this video and I want my hair to look like that!
Oh gosh I'm so glad I've discovered your channel!! 😍 I absolutely LOVE everything you've created here + you've given me the confidence to get my vintage-hair-game on point! In concluuusion THANK YOU YOU GLORIOUS HUMAN BEING!! ☺️💛 X
AHH you're too sweet!!! Heeeheheee ❤️❤️❤️
Follow your heart ! I believe in you and know you’re destined for great things. Love how you stay grateful.
What's Nick like? Can you do a couples video next!!!!! Does he have a vintage style like you?
From what I've seen, I don't think so, he appears briefly in a couple of videos, I think Rachel still has a honeymoon video up
He's the best, hehe. He doesn't dress vintage though and always refuses when I try to get him in a video, but I can try 😂😂
19:30 I love your longer videos, because I have them on while doing other things around the house, I just enjoy listening to you and then later on I rewatch what I like the most to pay more attention.
I could not resist anymore and subscribe😅 Sometimes I just go to your old videos when I want something calming , funny and just perfect for a little "me time" afternoon. Slightly like hanging out with a good friend that I do not have close to me 🙁😁 Thank you for such a content 😊
I watched the adoption video--it brought tears to my eyes! So beautiful!
Your videos are so unique and amazing!! I think that more and more people will definitely gravitate towards your channel.
And girl- have the most bomb time in Disney & Universal! Those places are both so magical
MolliLostInMakeup Thank you so much lovely!!!
Your dress is gorgeous! I enjoy your channel and inspired me to move forward with making a more vintage wardrobe. And I like your chatty videos.
Awww that's awesome! Thank you!
4:50 I was 4 feet away from my laptop just sewing on my machine listening to this vid and watching it with half of my left eye.... and I had to just stop to come up here to say this. I know that it's been 3 years ago and my comment is irrelevant now, but in case anyone else who doing something niche is considering doing youtube full time. Don't worry about it. For most people ultimately it's all down to your personality, if they like you they'll watch you regardless of the content. I'm myself not dressing vintage and I'm here. I got here from Bernadette's video "Why Are You Dressed Like That" and I stayed, already watched at least half of Rachel's vids and I keep watching more. Which says a lot how important are colabs with other youtubers.
Aah I can already tell that adoption film is gonna be a sobfest! I cant wait, I love happy emotional stories.
Luna Limi Yup it totally is 😂😂 I was holding back tears just filming it 😭😭
THANKYOU so much for your enjoyable and entertaining video's, don't ever change. you are a beautiful and inspiring lady. I love vintage, you have helped me find my true inner soul.
Ahh that's awesome!! ❤️😊
I'm so excited for your Halloween videos! I'd love to see your Halloween decor too! I'm also loving the longer style videos still, keep them coming!
Heehee me too!! I plan to do a massive Halloween Decor Haul soon ❤️❤️
I checked out your film videos just now, and not sure why, but the “video reel 2016” literally made me almost cry 😭😂 I love your work by the way it’s absolutely beautiful.
Congrats on the new family member! And I love your transformations, I would prefer the time lapse they just look cool.
ironic toast Thank you so much!! 😊❤️
10:43 omg 'call me al'! I love that song it's one of my favourites also I really like the idea of a tutorials for your makeup transformations
ashton vickers Hehe YES it's the best 😂❤️
LOVE! My daughter and I look forward to your videos every week! She's asleep already so she'll have to wait till tomorrow 😌 You are so hilarious and relatable! Love the dress 👗 btw 💁🏻
Anna Mar Heehee that's the cutest! Thank you lovely!!
I subscribed because of what you said about being a full time you tuber. You’ve inspired me to start with a vintage style, and I want your channel to grow because your videos are amazing! Keep on doing you, and if you want to do full time and it works for you, then go for it!!
You're the sweetest! Thank you so much lovely ❤️❤️❤️❤️
You seriously always make me happy.
27kiddnothing Ahh that makes ME happy! ❤️❤️
I just want you to know that I watch your channel for you, as a person. Your humour and your videos, whatever they may be about, get me through my day. And I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way. So, if you want to make transformation videos, you should! There will always be people watching you, and genuinely enjoying your content. It breaks my heart to see someone so talented like yourself, doubting your capabilities. If making videos is what drives you, do it and the rest will follow.
Aww thank you so so much. That makes me smile and means so much to me ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi Rachel!! You are literally my favorite person to watch on TH-cam and every time I see you post a video I get so excited and I sit my lil but down and watch that shit. So honestly you could post anything and I’m here for it dude. Alsooooo I noticed you were having a lil trouble with your lash glue not drying down and usually it’s because the brand of glue, so if you’re ever in the drug store (usually Walgreens) they have a Kiss lash glue w aloe that comes in a white tube with a gold top and it dries down super quick and it has changed my lash game forever! Have a lovely day ❤️
AHH you're too sweet!! Also I'm totally checking out that lash glue, cuz this kind SUCKS 😂😂😂
Honestly, I'm sooo glad I found your Channel (usually I don't watch TH-cam Videos) and your IG account! You changed my view on clothes and style completely. I secretly wanted to dress like a hobbit/witch like forever, but thought it would be too weird for work (I'm a teacher) and every day life. But you've given me so much inspiration for unusual, yet stylish outfits that my wardrobe slowly is taken over by ... EARTH TONES (and vintage blouses, vests, long skirts etc.). Also I'm quite new to your channel, so I'm watching a lot of your old videos right now (and posting weird comments :P ).
I would love to see where you keep your clothing and accessories, if that's something you could do a video on.... Do you keep stuff organized or is there a wild messy realism to it?
Oh it's a mess 😂😂
It would be so cute to see a series of makeup transformations! Like, Disney villains or eeveelutions! Or maybe wizard of oz inspired looks and outfits? Honestly I would love to see you do anything in your vintage style ❤️❤️❤️
Omg or do a makeup transformation for different eras!
Heehehee, noted! Thank you my love!!
Amusing to see this now in November of 2021 and see how successful you’ve gotten. And how not so niche your content is! I adore it all! Crafts and vintage! All I neeeedd beebeee!
I'm not interested in dressing vintage but I just like watching your videos. I just find them cosy and interesting to watch and you're just a really cool person, so I was excited when I heard you started working full time for youtube.
Aww thank you so so much 😭❤️
@@rachelmaksy ❤❤❤
LMBO...went a little too ham on that 1 lol always excited to see your video notifications 😍
❤️😊❤️😊
AHHH Rachel you make my life so FREAKIN great hun!!
Citrine Crystal Awww Heehee that makes me happy!!
your videos are so cozy
Marissa DiMeglio ❤️❤️❤️😊😊
you make me laugh always. I'm excited for more transformations!!! tutorials please!
Heehee yay!! Thank you lovely!!
I know this is an older video but I wanted to say that when I found your channel, I was actually looking at Harry Potter videos because I'm a huge fan. Your style was an afterthought and now, the HP content is as well. I watch your videos because I genuinely find you as a content creator interesting! Be it vintage style or vlogs, I enjoy your content for what it is, good content. Your personality, editing style and sense of humor grab my attention and I enjoy it. Anyway, I just felt like I had to pause the video and put that out there.
Awww this means so much to me, thank you so so much 😭😭
I am in love with your voice, its so soothing (not meaning to be creepy xD) and I also find the music you have running in the background very interesting. I would love to see a video about that music or generally vintage/pinup/old music you like.
Heehee aww thank you love!!
