Ingrid's channel is my happy place! I love that I can come here and escape into the perfect morning, or a beautiful makeup look, or even straight up advice!
When will people understand that selling something you've worked hard on and that is meaningful to you isn't. a. bad. thing. I would seriously enjoy buying Ingrid's products way more than the ones at my local jewelry shop because there's so much toughts in them. She's obviously trying to share her life experiences and advices when she doesn't have to. But she does it anyway because some poeple need that. Some poeple live in a toxic environment and are constantly reminded how worthless they are, and for them, for me, Ingrid is real blessing. I couldn't care less about make up and beauty products, but I'm subscribed to her because of videos like that. When you call this video boring, or pseudo-deep, you insult all those people who are seeking for help. So, please, restrain yourself to put your coin in the wrong piggy bank. Thx.
Girl she tries to sell something in every single video. 4 years ago I used to watch her videos and relate to them and enjoy "her" style and "her" opinions. Not anymore tho. I am not hating at all...it is just cringy to watch all the "fake" videos she's been posting lately...I did like the new shoe collection one...
Holy shit I needed this. Thank you so much. This is a sign ❤️❤️ I have decisions to make. Change is difficult but I am tired of just existing- i want to start LIVING. Love you Ingrid ❤️❤️
I'm sooo proud of you! I want you to know that you are literally goals for me and i look up to you. I've learned from you a lot. So thank you for teaching me, showing me and letting me experience things i never did before. Thank you for being in my life and thank you for being you and inspiring me to be the real, true me. Thank you for everything. I love you so much!
Ingrid, this is probably very out there, but I'm doing a LGBTQ+ project at school, i'd love to ask you a few questions! It probably won't happen, but i thought i would give it a shot. :)
This video feels like a collage of things you have long been feeling, thinking, pondering, and collecting. It feels incredibly inspired. You articulated things I haven't been able to articulate, reiterated things I have, and validated the importance of a pursuit that comes into conflict every day with the "shoulds" of life. And I needed this reminder. Congratulations on your new jewelry, and thank you
I come to love Ingrid's channel more and more. I am currently 13 but I am beginning my path to look for myself. I haven't felt the same recently and I do not understand why. I am taking the time to be away from everything and just find myself again. This video really helped me in my goal, so thank you Ingrid.
i don't think its bad that you are launching this jewelry line i just feel like its bit inauthentic to use the message of people staying true to themselves to try and flog your own stuff
I got the exact amount of encouragement I need for today and for my life in general. I was just thinking making my own choices that what could work for me best this morning and trying to not be discouraged by others' judgement. You are responsible for your own life and your body and your brain know what works best for you. Thanks, Ingrid! Love you a lot!
I suffer from a chronic illness, which interrupted my life, and has changed me in so many ways. Your words resonate with me, as I've had to find different meaning in my life to what I had valued before. xx
I've always loved Ingrid's attitude/outlook on life/style in general. She's really well spoken and so inspiring. I'm super excited for her and this jewelry collection. Everything is totally Ingrid! Beautiful, modern, chic, and meaningful. You go, Ingrid!
Emma Frankly She's being her authentic self, and the jewelry represents that. If her jewelry resonates with some else's authentic being, then there's nothing to dispute:)
I love you so much Ingrid! You are such a big inspiration to so many people, including me. Never stop doing what your doing! Congrats on your collection! Lots of love from Norway
I just just experienced one of the most severe panic attacks of my life about 30min ago and when I finally managed to calm down a bit about 5min ago this video came up as a notification. I can't express in words how much this spoke to me!!! I'm still young but I'm having a really hard time at the moment knowing who I am and want to be or do... but you are a true inspiration!!! Thank you
thank you so much Ingrid i just been in a state of what am i doing with my life,i lost all MY dreams and hopes and became something blank only to obsess over another , comparing constantly to another person who i thought was my idol but really i was over doing it and dragging my self in pity, this gave me freshness to do what i'm afraid of but to do so i can find my impsiration in life again and start living my own journey to success. Thank you so much x
You're amazing. This video came at a such a special time in my life. I am graduating with my masters tomorrow and am so unsure of where my life is headed, this video was so inspiring and I am so luck to be able to hear these words right before such an important day in my life. Thank you for being brave enough for being who you are and coming as you are and thank you for spreading that message. So proud of what you have done, I never comment but have been watching you for a long time. Feel like you're an old friend.. love you x P.
Ingrid, I am going through a difficult time where I am dealing with the past and trying to move forward because my past has been eating away from my joy and discovering who I am. Thank you so much for making this video. These are the exact words I needed to here. Thank you.
Hi Ingrid. Once again, I'm torn about leaving a comment ( I have not until now) because it's so easy to dismiss feedback that is interpreted as anything other than supportive (which I am) -as negative or hateful. I am all for your entrepreneurial projects and successes. I'm also interested in hearing about anyone's path to digging deep and searching for enlightened thought. But after listening to your chatty message for almost 15 min. suddenly without warning I'm hit with a just as lengthy pitch for your product line. My jaw dropped. It's almost as if you have to paint a picture for us, a premise of there's a deeper meaning here...to justify consumerism. Very disappointing . Lastly, I noticed you mentioned that each piece is made by hand... But WHERE? Offshore I'm sure... Sad, but there are so many talented and skillful artisans here in the U.S.-hundreds in your L.A. Area!
very, very well said...this video was thoughtful and soothing, but it's not "giving" a daily reminder to keep going and come as you are if it costs $140 to see the message on your wrist. It's the opposite of giving when you are actually GETTING the profit. Of course it's great to produce something you are proud of that is unique and completely marketable. But to come from a place of sentimentality and fundamental humanism while pursuing materialistic goals is shady ethics for a TH-camr...channels like Ingrid's were built over years on the trust of viewers who felt that these videos were honest and authentic..now everyone is just a potential consumer and we are sold on the most random things through these manipulative videos which themselves generate income. I know when the marketing team for a company or large chain has come up with a clever commercial to sell me on their things, because its on TV and they pay money for me to see it. But having it slipped past me in the form of this video...naw, I'm good.
I agree with you. I love her words because they are beautiful and really inspire me. However, the fact that she ends the video with a promotion of her product sends a message that you still need material things to be be your true self.
This is incredibly beautiful and well articulated. Brought tears to my eyes and truly brought about a sense of calmness within my soul. You are so amazing!
I love these videos. Even though my methods of coping with problems or relaxing or even just living seem to be very different to yours these videos are so soothing.
Hey Ingrid, today was a not so great but listening to you make me fell so much better. "Keep going " and I almost cried because I see myself in that situation so many times . Love you baby! You mean so much to me and you don't even know. Portugueses girl here !
Dear Ingrid, You are my biggest female role model and I love watching your journey. You have personally helped me through some really tough internal and external problems I've faced, so I obviously love the concept behind this jewelry collection (also, I happen to love simple gold necklaces). I wish I could afford it but sending you my love and support! Congratulations!!! Love, Julie
ingrid i looove your "mental health" (or how i could call them) videos. they are so inspiring and soo helpful!!! at the moment i just feel in like I've fallen in a hole of stress and sadness. videos like that really make my day and after watching this i really thought about if my life is like i want it to be or just trying and pushing my way through every single day. thanks so much!!! ♥♥
you need to be the first to like yourself. so that the world can like you. accept yourself despite the darkness. the only way light can come in is when it seeps through the cracks.
Ingrid Nilsen you replied. its like 3:33 am here in the Ph and i think sleep just left my body. thanks for becoming an inspiration. shoot. i just got teary eyed as i watched the rest of the video. #staytrue ingrid. much love from the Philippines.
Not sure why people are so bitter to you Ingrid in the comments, but this is all so beautiful. Couldn't be more happier for your jewelry line, love it 😊❤️❤️❤️
Thank you, for being such a genuine person whom I can look up to, and whom I can come to when I am having a hard time with self-love and being authentic to myself. Thank you for being here on TH-cam and for creating such a beautiful community to apart of. I love videos like these, and I look forward to more like these. Thank you for being who you are
I'm so proud of you and everything you have become and everything you do. I love you and I love your videos. This is one place on the internet where I am never in danger of being judged or criticized. I love you! Thank you for all of your wisdom!
Thank you so much for this video Ingrid! I am currently in middle school and figuring out who I want to be. There are so many different kinds of people at my school and I never really found my places. I wasn't sure what kind of person I wanted to be and how I wanted to be remembered. Your words have inspired me too let go of all the analyzing and the comparing I do to other people, people I don't even know, and just loving and doing the things that bring a genuine smile to face while letting my mind flutter away into daze. Thank you for the inspiration and congratulations on your new jewelry collection!
Ingrid! I have seen you since forever, and I love what you have become, you inspire me day by day to be who I am and not being shy about myself! Thankyou for inspire me to raise my voice and being who I am! ILYSM! Thankyou! I am wordless! ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Ingrid, I've been a fan of your videos for about 2 or 3 years and I just wanted to say, Thank you. To begin with, this video made me feel better and realted to me alot. My nationality is Korean but I was born and raised in Japan and America(my parents are Korean hence the nationality). I struggled to find my "true self" because I could never fit any of the "ideal" standards. If I was in America people would say I was "too asian" or back in Japan people would say "American-wanna-be" and even in Korea where the majority of my family members live, I would always feel different. It got to the point where two years ago I had a break down. I couldn' t make any friends and forced myself to "be more Japanese" or to fit the ideal Japanese standards. This is where i found your channel on TH-cam. You were mixed race of Norweigen and Thai and it made me feel relieved in way, because even though I wasn't mixed race I kind of felt relieved knowing there was a person who had a somewhat similar past to me. And I have watched your grow, from watching your old Lush videos to this one, and I am really honestly thankful for this one. When you talked about "What makes you unique" "Do what you love" it reminded me of my own past, to why I had the break down and was unhappy, it was because I did something for others and not for myself. In the video you talked about "finding something that sets your heart on fire", and in my case that 3 years ago, I was afraid that I would be isolated from everyone. You truly are an inspiration Ingrid, love you so much. Your videos always give me a reason to smile and I hope to see more of you. Loves xxx
I love your channel, this video is so true. My family and I sing "let it go" every time we need to let something go, we try to put happiness in every thing we do and say.
I know Ingrid's channel isn't a Christian-based channel and I know I will probably get some craziness for saying this.. But I really felt like The Lord lead me here tonight. I've been battling so many demons of my own every single day and I've been having a hard time staying in tune with God's voice. I was clicking on Ingrid's channel and this was the first video that popped up. The very beginning of this video says "Come As You Are", and that's my favorite song by Crowder. It just talks about laying down everything before Jesus and coming as you are; broken and a sinner. Throughout this video, I've heard God's voice this whole time. Thanks so much, Ingrid, for creating this video! You may not believe in God but The Lord definitely spoke through your words to my soul tonight.
Congrats Ingrid! I've been watching you for years and am glad you are being yourself. I unfortunately can't afford anything in the collection (thanks college) but hope it does well!
Dear Ingrid, I've been following you since 2011 and today I feel really proud of you. Everything you said in this video is so true and it was really helpful for me, cause I'm going through depression and anxiety and encouraging words are exactly what I need. And I love your collection, every single piece has a great meaning and my favourite one is the "choices" ring, cause I need to change many things in my life and choose what's best for me. I hope you can do more inspiring videos like this, and thank you for being such a special human being ❤️ I love you ❤️
The beginning of this video really empowered me and gave me a real sense of serenity within myself, as it unlocked the realisation that it's okay to not know things, and it's okay to take risks and paths I hadn't thought I'd ever take. Thank you
When I became a Christian, I found out the purpose of life. I learned that no other human being can truly make you happy. It is God and Jesus Christ that makes me happy. When I forgive people, put others before myself, serve others, give back to the poor, treat people the way I want to be treated, do not gossip about others, love everyone including my enemies, etc. that makes me happy. These are the things that my belief in Christ has taught me. I used to be an atheist before I was a Christian. When I was an atheist, I was lost. I was sad and couldn't figure out what the purpose of my life was. I was also worried about where I was going to go after I die. I was looking at how beautiful the earth was and how there are trees, flowers, animals, fruits, vegetables, etc. and thought to myself there has to be someone who created all of this. These kind of things do not come out of nowhere. I was also living a certain way before I became a Christian. I knew that the things I was doing were sinful but a part of me did not want to own up to it. It's almost like I made my sins define me as a person and I felt like God didn't love me because I was sinful. But God loves all of us which is why he gave his only begotten son to die on the cross for our sins. We should feel bad when we sin but we shouldn't let our sins define us because that's not who we are, there is a way out. You can be set free, you can get saved! One day I decided to actually admit to myself that the way I was living was wrong and I prayed to God and ask him for forgiveness and I grew closer to God. It's hard for us to give up sinful things because our minds are naturally sinful and God knows this. Which is why we need to get saved, Jesus can set us free from any sin that we are dealing with. ANY SIN! Every sinful desires, lusts, etc. will go away when you get saved and pray to God and ask him to take them away. God never intended for anyone to go to hell. This is in Ezekiel 18:31-32. We should ask for forgiveness (repent) and become saved/born again so that we can go to heaven. When you become saved/born again you will automatically be free from sin meaning you will be forgiven for your sin, you will get to go to heaven and you will get closer to God and receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. God doesn't want any of us to go to hell. God is very merciful and he loves all of us before we loved him, he wants the best for us. This life is temporary, we really need to start thinking about the after life. God will love it if everyone of us can go to heaven.
ccap3211 No I'm not trolling. People need to wake up. We are living in the end times right now. The signs of the end times are in 2 Timothy 3:1-5. Heaven is real and so is hell. This life is temporary. We should really be thinking about the after life. We don't know when we are going to die and we don't know when the world is going to end. So we should repent and get saved when we have a chance. Do you not see how chaotic the world is right now? Hell was never meant for any human being. It was only meant for Satan and the other fallen angels. It's clear that God does not want any of us to go to hell in Ezekiel 18:31-32. In the bible it says that hell is a fiery lake of burning sulfur where there will be the weeping and gnashing of teeth and you will get no rest/sleep and you will only remember all of your bad memories from earth. It's literally torture. But it's never too late to repent and get saved. We can avoid all of this simply just by repenting and getting saved. People think that living in sin makes them happy and gives them pleasure. But this is an illusion. I used to think that living in sin made you happy until I found out the truth. You will never find true happiness by living in sin. We have to give up the things we THINK gives us pleasure and give our lives to God. When you get saved, there's no better joy than the joy that comes from God. It's supernatural joy, it's hard to explain. No other human being can give you as much joy as the joy that comes from God. You do not have to let your sins define you. You can get a new identity in Christ. God loves you, Jesus love you. When you get saved, you realize that there's more to life than just having sex, drinking, etc. After you do all of those sinful things, after a while it gets boring and repetitive because it's just selfish desires, lusts, pleasures, etc. We have to humble ourselves and admit to ourselves that the way we are living is not a good way to live
Amy I feel sorry for the people who do not want to follow God, they are missing out. It doesn't hurt to give God a chance. If you are not sure if he's real then pray to him and ask him to show you signs if he is real. He will do it
Jesus Is Lord I don't question God's existence. The only thing I question is people like you who are always thumping the bible and make it seem like we don't have any free will, like it's God word against ours.
Very beautiful video and message Ingrid ❤️ I love it so much, sometimes it's really hard to stay true to who you are deep inside and embrace yourself and appreciate everything around you. Love the collection, well done! Am super proud of you xx
Ingrid, the beginning of this video made me cry. I needed this video so much right now and the fact that it came at this time in my life was so perfect. After my breakup with my ex-boyfriend I have been trying to figure out who I am as just Claire. I need to figure out who I am and to be good to that person. Thank you for being so real and for this video. This is going to help me continue to find out who I am and to have the motivation to be that person every day. Congratulations on your jewelry collection! I am so proud of you and so happy that you're doing something you love every single day. You are an inspiration to me because you let everybody know that you have bad days and that it is okay to have bad days. You are one of a kind, and I love that.
Seems a little frou-frou and trying to be all philosophical... this kind of stuff feels good to hear, but it's pretty fluffy stuff. There's not a lot of actionables in this video, just "mindset" talk. I really don't like this kind of talk because it doesn't actually mean anything. Your theories aren't very concrete and can be taken so many different ways. It's like writing "be positive" on a coffee mug... it's nice, just not actually that practical or useful.
hey Ingrid! I really needed this video! I've been questioning so many things socially and just in my life, it's hard to place yourself sometimes and I love seeing how other people cope. I love you xxxxx
I had a really tiring day today and this videos help make me feel positive about life and that I should be myself. Sometimes, I feel that I should be like this, talk like this and act like this. But in the end of the day, it doesn't really matter. Being yourself makes you special and unique in your own way. ♡Stop trying to be others and be yourself♡ I'm so happy that you made this video, Ingird and so proud that your jewellery collection is out. I really want to buy one but it's too expensive😂.
This is such an amazing and powerful video. And I don't care for jewelry but these are so simple and I love everything that they represent. I have followed your channel for years now. And you have grown and come into yourself so much. You are brave. You are beautiful. You are an inspiration. And I thank you. Because I feel like I have grown with you. You have been so pure and honest and I will always love you and be greatful for you just being you.
as a freshmen in college I've been trying to fit in with others, but I just end up being someone I'm not and I'm so tired of it. That's not how I imagined my life to be as a young adult. I really thought that by now I will be confident and happy, but I'm not. and so I'm here to give myself a chance to grow into a me that I will love, not what others expect. I can't thank you enough Ingrid, for your beautiful words
Ingrid! Your video is so beautiful it is hard to begin to put into words how inspired I feel. Thank you for all of the wisdom you imparted - I was touched by every single word you shared. You have inspired me stay brave, be curious, and keep going :) I am so thankful that there are people like who are making the world a better place by sharing wisdom that uplifts others. Though you shared that you have endured deep struggles, it is clear that these struggles have also been a gift because they have allowed you to become very self-aware and intelligent - a beautiful gift we all hope for in our lives. Thank you for your inspiration :)
If you'd mentioned the jewellery collection in the title, I think this would be excusable. But the fact you set this up as a heartfelt video of honest advice to your viewers, complete with inspiring tone and emotive music only to advertise more merch is very disappointing. Not 'authentic' at all.
You radiate so much hope and you can just tell how much you care in the way you present yourself. I love it and I really needed this reminder right now. Thank you 😭 I appreciate how real you stay to your channel and subs 💕 can't wait to try out some of your stuff!
Omg not kidding I was staring at your necklace like 'It's so pretty, I want one like it" And when you said you had a jewellery collection I jumped off my bed! So proud! xx
Congratulations on your collection, Ingrid! I'm not a big fan of chunky colorful jewelry and I love how subtle and meaningful each of these pieces are. It's clear you put a lot of thought into the collection, and it's the kind of quality jewelry that you could wear everyday instead of having to search around for an outfit to fit it with. Lovely.
I love you so much ingrid !! You have been an inspiration for years now and i am glad to hear your struggles because it makes me feel a little more sane and realize life is crazy sometimes but do what you love and it will be beautiful
I love how the collection looks like and the message it is bringing across. Your entire msg too in this video means a lot to me at the moment. Cheers and hugs. All the best in all that u do!
Hi! I just wanted to tell you that you're such an inspiring and intelligent woman. Your videos inspire me to be myself and help me deal with all the stuff that life throws my way. If you had a podcast, I'd listen to it every day, just saying :)
Thank you for the positivity living through this video, thank you for the messages. Meaningful. When I saw it was a video introducing your jellewery collection, I thought "Oh, again, a way to make money easily because all your fans will be willing to wear your collection", I was sad a video with this theme was going to be a way to make money. And going through the video, I thought "Man, it's really important what she says, it's strange she chosed to present her collection here" and then you revealed what you meant behind all of the pieces, and it's meaningful, and it makes me feel better to see the importance you gave to give sense with all your collection. It makes me feel like you gave a life to every piece of it, and it makes me feel like you empowered them to make us (suscribers) feel better maybe ? That's what I want to believe. Sorry for the lenght of the message, but I really wanted to share it with you. No you no what ? I don't apologize here. I wanted to do it and I'm gald I did it :) Kisses Ingrid (P.S.: this video weng right a playlist I called "important)
Congrats on your line. However, I really Wish the video would have been you just chatting on this topic without the products. Your line deserves its own video. Also, I've been watching probably since you started your channel, could you please do some fun hauls for us, target runs, a vlog here and there just to break up the sponsored content. I fully support youtubers doing sponsorships don't get me wrong, I would just love to see more videos of you and your everyday life in between the sponsored content.
supersmileyfan this is honestly one of the best comments. So many people are being so rude and calling Ingrid so many different names instead of just leaving a simple comment like this! Thank you for being kind and not mean.
i met a boy who probably doesn’t even know this but i changed myself and lost myself so much for this person and i’m watching this video to find a way again and i love it so much...
Thank you so much for this video, Ingrid. I have been struggling so much with trying to say authentic and be true to myself. I am a freshman in college, and I have decided to drop out. This was the hardest decision of my life, and I have gotten a lot of hate over my decision. I know this is going to be so difficult, but as of right now college is not where I need to be. I have so many passions for a variety of things, and I decided to make a youtube channel to share those passions. My goal at then end of the day is to help others, and let them know they are not alone. Once again thank you so much for this video because it reminded me to not let other people's opinions define how I live my life. Hope your collection goes well. Much love, Julie :)
girl!! its like every point you make is like a check mark. i think my take away is the work constant. or constant work. we all might have those days of realizations when we know what we should do. we should constantly work though to make things work. because the path to getting know yourself and being self means constantly knowing you are a constant work of progress.
I'm so proud of and excited about my new jewelry collection! Thank you so much for all of your support so far
Ingrid Nilsen Love you Ingrid ❤️
Thank you so much, Georgia! I hope you both enjoy wearing it!
Ingrid Nilsen We'll always support you 💜
Love what you do and what you says!
Lots of love from Belgium, thanks for sharing with the world ❤️ :)
Ingrid Nilsen We love you, Ingrid! And thank you for this, I needed it
Ingrid's channel is my happy place! I love that I can come here and escape into the perfect morning, or a beautiful makeup look, or even straight up advice!
createyay _ I agree, I love Ingrids channel, I want her as my BFF!
omg that would be amazing!
When will people understand that selling something you've worked hard on and that is meaningful to you isn't. a. bad. thing.
I would seriously enjoy buying Ingrid's products way more than the ones at my local jewelry shop because there's so much toughts in them.
She's obviously trying to share her life experiences and advices when she doesn't have to. But she does it anyway because some poeple need that. Some poeple live in a toxic environment and are constantly reminded how worthless they are, and for them, for me, Ingrid is real blessing.
I couldn't care less about make up and beauty products, but I'm subscribed to her because of videos like that.
When you call this video boring, or pseudo-deep, you insult all those people who are seeking for help.
So, please, restrain yourself to put your coin in the wrong piggy bank. Thx.
Melissa Lambot OMG YES AGREE! So puzzled by the hate.
I didn't know mayonnaise was meaningful to her but ok.
Girl she tries to sell something in every single video. 4 years ago I used to watch her videos and relate to them and enjoy "her" style and "her" opinions. Not anymore tho. I am not hating at all...it is just cringy to watch all the "fake" videos she's been posting lately...I did like the new shoe collection one...
Holy shit I needed this. Thank you so much. This is a sign ❤️❤️ I have decisions to make. Change is difficult but I am tired of just existing- i want to start LIVING. Love you Ingrid ❤️❤️
Good luck, Julia. You got this!
There is nothing authentic about watching a video to learn how to be yourself
Joanna T.Rex exactly
I like how this is about being authentic and true but is all about her trying to get us to buy her jewelry collection. That's fun.
ALWAYS LOVE WATCHING INGRID'S CHATTY VIDEOS
Who is starting to get super excited for halloween?! ♥
The Fashion Blogger ♡ meeee!!!
I'm sooo proud of you! I want you to know that you are literally goals for me and i look up to you. I've learned from you a lot. So thank you for teaching me, showing me and letting me experience things i never did before. Thank you for being in my life and thank you for being you and inspiring me to be the real, true me. Thank you for everything. I love you so much!
Ingrid, this is probably very out there, but I'm doing a LGBTQ+ project at school, i'd love to ask you a few questions! It probably won't happen, but i thought i would give it a shot. :)
Clara yey, let's make that happen
omg thats so nice of you :) my friends and I chose LGBTQ as the subject, we're making a website and all
Clara Good luck !
People let's comment here as much as possible so maybe Ingrid sees this!
👍👍👍
This video feels like a collage of things you have long been feeling, thinking, pondering, and collecting. It feels incredibly inspired. You articulated things I haven't been able to articulate, reiterated things I have, and validated the importance of a pursuit that comes into conflict every day with the "shoulds" of life. And I needed this reminder. Congratulations on your new jewelry, and thank you
Imagine being able to keep going because of the words "keep going". Incredible!
I come to love Ingrid's channel more and more. I am currently 13 but I am beginning my path to look for myself. I haven't felt the same recently and I do not understand why. I am taking the time to be away from everything and just find myself again. This video really helped me in my goal, so thank you Ingrid.
Honestly, Ingrid has always and will always be my biggest idol. I look up to her so much! She's truly my inspiration as a woman.
i don't think its bad that you are launching this jewelry line i just feel like its bit inauthentic to use the message of people staying true to themselves to try and flog your own stuff
I got the exact amount of encouragement I need for today and for my life in general. I was just thinking making my own choices that what could work for me best this morning and trying to not be discouraged by others' judgement. You are responsible for your own life and your body and your brain know what works best for you. Thanks, Ingrid! Love you a lot!
thumbs up if you think Ingrid nilsen is really beautiful
Your beautiful, gentle, fierce soul inspires me.
P.S. I'm going with "Be Brave."
Watching your videos makes me feel as if we're all free and safe to be who we are without any judgement. Thank you Ingrid.
I suffer from a chronic illness, which interrupted my life, and has changed me in so many ways. Your words resonate with me, as I've had to find different meaning in my life to what I had valued before. xx
You are such a beautiful gem in this world Ingrid. Thank you for inspiring me and everyone that comes in contact with you.
I've always loved Ingrid's attitude/outlook on life/style in general. She's really well spoken and so inspiring. I'm super excited for her and this jewelry collection. Everything is totally Ingrid! Beautiful, modern, chic, and meaningful. You go, Ingrid!
Lol Ingrid I like you, I do, but, "Be your authentic self! Buy jewelry with words that are significant to ME!"
Emma Frankly She's being her authentic self, and the jewelry represents that. If her jewelry resonates with some else's authentic being, then there's nothing to dispute:)
I love you so much Ingrid! You are such a big inspiration to so many people, including me. Never stop doing what your doing!
Congrats on your collection!
Lots of love from Norway
Be who you truly are rather than who you have become.
I just just experienced one of the most severe panic attacks of my life about 30min ago and when I finally managed to calm down a bit about 5min ago this video came up as a notification. I can't express in words how much this spoke to me!!! I'm still young but I'm having a really hard time at the moment knowing who I am and want to be or do... but you are a true inspiration!!! Thank you
thank you so much Ingrid i just been in a state of what am i doing with my life,i lost all MY dreams and hopes and became something blank only to obsess over another , comparing constantly to another person who i thought was my idol but really i was over doing it and dragging my self in pity, this gave me freshness to do what i'm afraid of but to do so i can find my impsiration in life again and start living my own journey to success. Thank you so much x
It's just an ad..."be yourself, with this product"
lol ikr 😂😂😂
You're amazing. This video came at a such a special time in my life. I am graduating with my masters tomorrow and am so unsure of where my life is headed, this video was so inspiring and I am so luck to be able to hear these words right before such an important day in my life. Thank you for being brave enough for being who you are and coming as you are and thank you for spreading that message. So proud of what you have done, I never comment but have been watching you for a long time. Feel like you're an old friend.. love you x P.
Congratulations and best wishes of hope and happiness to you. :)
I love how all of the pieces are a little tiny motivation for every single day. Keep being yourself, and much love as always xox
Ingrid, I am going through a difficult time where I am dealing with the past and trying to move forward because my past has been eating away from my joy and discovering who I am. Thank you so much for making this video. These are the exact words I needed to here. Thank you.
Hi Ingrid. Once again, I'm torn about leaving a comment ( I have not until now) because it's so easy to dismiss feedback that is interpreted as anything other than supportive (which I am) -as negative or hateful. I am all for your entrepreneurial projects and successes. I'm also interested in hearing about anyone's path to digging deep and searching for enlightened thought. But after listening to your chatty message for almost 15 min. suddenly without warning I'm hit with a just as lengthy pitch for your product line. My jaw dropped. It's almost as if you have to paint a picture for us, a premise of there's a deeper meaning here...to justify consumerism. Very disappointing . Lastly, I noticed you mentioned that each piece is made by hand... But WHERE? Offshore I'm sure... Sad, but there are so many talented and skillful artisans here in the U.S.-hundreds in your L.A. Area!
very, very well said...this video was thoughtful and soothing, but it's not "giving" a daily reminder to keep going and come as you are if it costs $140 to see the message on your wrist. It's the opposite of giving when you are actually GETTING the profit. Of course it's great to produce something you are proud of that is unique and completely marketable. But to come from a place of sentimentality and fundamental humanism while pursuing materialistic goals is shady ethics for a TH-camr...channels like Ingrid's were built over years on the trust of viewers who felt that these videos were honest and authentic..now everyone is just a potential consumer and we are sold on the most random things through these manipulative videos which themselves generate income. I know when the marketing team for a company or large chain has come up with a clever commercial to sell me on their things, because its on TV and they pay money for me to see it. But having it slipped past me in the form of this video...naw, I'm good.
I agree with you. I love her words because they are beautiful and really inspire me. However, the fact that she ends the video with a promotion of her product sends a message that you still need material things to be be your true self.
This video could not have had better timing. Be proud for the inspiration you bring to people in their dark times. I know I needed this.
This is incredibly beautiful and well articulated. Brought tears to my eyes and truly brought about a sense of calmness within my soul. You are so amazing!
I love these videos. Even though my methods of coping with problems or relaxing or even just living seem to be very different to yours these videos are so soothing.
Hey Ingrid, today was a not so great but listening to you make me fell so much better.
"Keep going " and I almost cried because I see myself in that situation so many times .
Love you baby!
You mean so much to me and you don't even know.
Portugueses girl here !
Dear Ingrid,
You are my biggest female role model and I love watching your journey. You have personally helped me through some really tough internal and external problems I've faced, so I obviously love the concept behind this jewelry collection (also, I happen to love simple gold necklaces). I wish I could afford it but sending you my love and support! Congratulations!!!
Love, Julie
ingrid i looove your "mental health" (or how i could call them) videos. they are so inspiring and soo helpful!!! at the moment i just feel in like I've fallen in a hole of stress and sadness. videos like that really make my day and after watching this i really thought about if my life is like i want it to be or just trying and pushing my way through every single day. thanks so much!!! ♥♥
you need to be the first to like yourself.
so that the world can like you.
accept yourself despite the darkness.
the only way light can come in is when it seeps through the cracks.
That's great advice, Daxxine!
Ingrid Nilsen you replied. its like 3:33 am here in the Ph and i think sleep just left my body.
thanks for becoming an inspiration.
shoot. i just got teary eyed as i watched the rest of the video.
#staytrue ingrid.
much love from the Philippines.
Ingrid, I'm incredibly happy for you. You are truly an inspiration. Amazing collection!
Not sure why people are so bitter to you Ingrid in the comments, but this is all so beautiful. Couldn't be more happier for your jewelry line, love it 😊❤️❤️❤️
You're incredible, Ingrid! 💜💜💜💜 I love that everything you do is so thoughtful and full of beauty.
Congrats on your collection! Lovely video! May I ask what's your nail polish on this video?
Thank you! It's Dinge by Floss Gloss.
Thank you very much! It looks great on you! :)
Thank you, for being such a genuine person whom I can look up to, and whom I can come to when I am having a hard time with self-love and being authentic to myself. Thank you for being here on TH-cam and for creating such a beautiful community to apart of. I love videos like these, and I look forward to more like these. Thank you for being who you are
I'm so proud of you and everything you have become and everything you do. I love you and I love your videos. This is one place on the internet where I am never in danger of being judged or criticized. I love you! Thank you for all of your wisdom!
Thank you so much for this video Ingrid! I am currently in middle school and figuring out who I want to be. There are so many different kinds of people at my school and I never really found my places. I wasn't sure what kind of person I wanted to be and how I wanted to be remembered. Your words have inspired me too let go of all the analyzing and the comparing I do to other people, people I don't even know, and just loving and doing the things that bring a genuine smile to face while letting my mind flutter away into daze. Thank you for the inspiration and congratulations on your new jewelry collection!
Ingrid! I have seen you since forever, and I love what you have become, you inspire me day by day to be who I am and not being shy about myself! Thankyou for inspire me to raise my voice and being who I am! ILYSM! Thankyou! I am wordless! ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Ingrid, I've been a fan of your videos for about 2 or 3 years and I just wanted to say, Thank you. To begin with, this video made me feel better and realted to me alot. My nationality is Korean but I was born and raised in Japan and America(my parents are Korean hence the nationality). I struggled to find my "true self" because I could never fit any of the "ideal" standards. If I was in America people would say I was "too asian" or back in Japan people would say "American-wanna-be" and even in Korea where the majority of my family members live, I would always feel different. It got to the point where two years ago I had a break down. I couldn' t make any friends and forced myself to "be more Japanese" or to fit the ideal Japanese standards. This is where i found your channel on TH-cam. You were mixed race of Norweigen and Thai and it made me feel relieved in way, because even though I wasn't mixed race I kind of felt relieved knowing there was a person who had a somewhat similar past to me. And I have watched your grow, from watching your old Lush videos to this one, and I am really honestly thankful for this one. When you talked about "What makes you unique" "Do what you love" it reminded me of my own past, to why I had the break down and was unhappy, it was because I did something for others and not for myself. In the video you talked about "finding something that sets your heart on fire", and in my case that 3 years ago, I was afraid that I would be isolated from everyone. You truly are an inspiration Ingrid, love you so much. Your videos always give me a reason to smile and I hope to see more of you. Loves xxx
I love your channel, this video is so true. My family and I sing "let it go" every time we need to let something go, we try to put happiness in every thing we do and say.
I know Ingrid's channel isn't a Christian-based channel and I know I will probably get some craziness for saying this.. But I really felt like The Lord lead me here tonight. I've been battling so many demons of my own every single day and I've been having a hard time staying in tune with God's voice. I was clicking on Ingrid's channel and this was the first video that popped up. The very beginning of this video says "Come As You Are", and that's my favorite song by Crowder. It just talks about laying down everything before Jesus and coming as you are; broken and a sinner. Throughout this video, I've heard God's voice this whole time. Thanks so much, Ingrid, for creating this video! You may not believe in God but The Lord definitely spoke through your words to my soul tonight.
In the video thumbnail , you look so happy & right where you need to be at this time in your life. Really lovely to see xx
You are my calm person to watch I love you so much Ingrid❤️
This footage is so dreamy and makes me miss LA so much! Love it!
Congrats Ingrid! I've been watching you for years and am glad you are being yourself. I unfortunately can't afford anything in the collection (thanks college) but hope it does well!
Dear Ingrid, I've been following you since 2011 and today I feel really proud of you. Everything you said in this video is so true and it was really helpful for me, cause I'm going through depression and anxiety and encouraging words are exactly what I need. And I love your collection, every single piece has a great meaning and my favourite one is the "choices" ring, cause I need to change many things in my life and choose what's best for me. I hope you can do more inspiring videos like this, and thank you for being such a special human being ❤️ I love you ❤️
Congratulations Ingrid on you jewelry collection!!!!!!❤️💕❤️
You're such a beautiful soul Ingrid 💛✌🏻️👼🏼
why cant it be just true advice and not a sponsored vid....
It's a shame that almost every youtube video has some sort of promotional ad in it :(
The beginning of this video really empowered me and gave me a real sense of serenity within myself, as it unlocked the realisation that it's okay to not know things, and it's okay to take risks and paths I hadn't thought I'd ever take. Thank you
When I became a Christian, I found out the purpose of life. I learned that no other human being can truly make you happy. It is God and Jesus Christ that makes me happy. When I forgive people, put others before myself, serve others, give back to the poor, treat people the way I want to be treated, do not gossip about others, love everyone including my enemies, etc. that makes me happy. These are the things that my belief in Christ has taught me. I used to be an atheist before I was a Christian. When I was an atheist, I was lost. I was sad and couldn't figure out what the purpose of my life was. I was also worried about where I was going to go after I die. I was looking at how beautiful the earth was and how there are trees, flowers, animals, fruits, vegetables, etc. and thought to myself there has to be someone who created all of this. These kind of things do not come out of nowhere. I was also living a certain way before I became a Christian. I knew that the things I was doing were sinful but a part of me did not want to own up to it. It's almost like I made my sins define me as a person and I felt like God didn't love me because I was sinful. But God loves all of us which is why he gave his only begotten son to die on the cross for our sins. We should feel bad when we sin but we shouldn't let our sins define us because that's not who we are, there is a way out. You can be set free, you can get saved! One day I decided to actually admit to myself that the way I was living was wrong and I prayed to God and ask him for forgiveness and I grew closer to God. It's hard for us to give up sinful things because our minds are naturally sinful and God knows this. Which is why we need to get saved, Jesus can set us free from any sin that we are dealing with. ANY SIN! Every sinful desires, lusts, etc. will go away when you get saved and pray to God and ask him to take them away. God never intended for anyone to go to hell. This is in Ezekiel 18:31-32. We should ask for forgiveness (repent) and become saved/born again so that we can go to heaven. When you become saved/born again you will automatically be free from sin meaning you will be forgiven for your sin, you will get to go to heaven and you will get closer to God and receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. God doesn't want any of us to go to hell. God is very merciful and he loves all of us before we loved him, he wants the best for us. This life is temporary, we really need to start thinking about the after life. God will love it if everyone of us can go to heaven.
Jesus Is Lord do you just copy and paste this same comment on multiple videos? You seem like a troll
ccap3211 No I'm not trolling. People need to wake up. We are living in the end times right now. The signs of the end times are in 2 Timothy 3:1-5. Heaven is real and so is hell. This life is temporary. We should really be thinking about the after life. We don't know when we are going to die and we don't know when the world is going to end. So we should repent and get saved when we have a chance. Do you not see how chaotic the world is right now? Hell was never meant for any human being. It was only meant for Satan and the other fallen angels. It's clear that God does not want any of us to go to hell in Ezekiel 18:31-32. In the bible it says that hell is a fiery lake of burning sulfur where there will be the weeping and gnashing of teeth and you will get no rest/sleep and you will only remember all of your bad memories from earth. It's literally torture. But it's never too late to repent and get saved. We can avoid all of this simply just by repenting and getting saved. People think that living in sin makes them happy and gives them pleasure. But this is an illusion. I used to think that living in sin made you happy until I found out the truth. You will never find true happiness by living in sin. We have to give up the things we THINK gives us pleasure and give our lives to God. When you get saved, there's no better joy than the joy that comes from God. It's supernatural joy, it's hard to explain. No other human being can give you as much joy as the joy that comes from God. You do not have to let your sins define you. You can get a new identity in Christ. God loves you, Jesus love you. When you get saved, you realize that there's more to life than just having sex, drinking, etc. After you do all of those sinful things, after a while it gets boring and repetitive because it's just selfish desires, lusts, pleasures, etc. We have to humble ourselves and admit to ourselves that the way we are living is not a good way to live
Stop preaching and/or trying to convert people. Not everyone wants to follow God.
Amy I feel sorry for the people who do not want to follow God, they are missing out. It doesn't hurt to give God a chance. If you are not sure if he's real then pray to him and ask him to show you signs if he is real. He will do it
Jesus Is Lord I don't question God's existence. The only thing I question is people like you who are always thumping the bible and make it seem like we don't have any free will, like it's God word against ours.
Very beautiful video and message Ingrid ❤️ I love it so much, sometimes it's really hard to stay true to who you are deep inside and embrace yourself and appreciate everything around you. Love the collection, well done! Am super proud of you xx
Ingrid, the beginning of this video made me cry. I needed this video so much right now and the fact that it came at this time in my life was so perfect. After my breakup with my ex-boyfriend I have been trying to figure out who I am as just Claire. I need to figure out who I am and to be good to that person. Thank you for being so real and for this video. This is going to help me continue to find out who I am and to have the motivation to be that person every day.
Congratulations on your jewelry collection! I am so proud of you and so happy that you're doing something you love every single day. You are an inspiration to me because you let everybody know that you have bad days and that it is okay to have bad days. You are one of a kind, and I love that.
It's always so serene on this channel, it feels like coming home to your own bed after being on holiday for 2 weeks!
I love this video , thanks Ingrid!!
So proud of you Ingrid! I can't wait to order some things from the collection!
Loved the video and the jewellery really does look great but maybe next time you can specifically state in the title/thumbnail that this is an ad?
Congratulations on your new Collection. So proud of You ,Ingrid ❤
Ingrid, you really need to write a book. I can see everything you said written down. 👍🏼 very inspirational. Thank you.
Seems a little frou-frou and trying to be all philosophical... this kind of stuff feels good to hear, but it's pretty fluffy stuff. There's not a lot of actionables in this video, just "mindset" talk. I really don't like this kind of talk because it doesn't actually mean anything. Your theories aren't very concrete and can be taken so many different ways. It's like writing "be positive" on a coffee mug... it's nice, just not actually that practical or useful.
hey Ingrid! I really needed this video! I've been questioning so many things socially and just in my life, it's hard to place yourself sometimes and I love seeing how other people cope. I love you xxxxx
Ingrd's videos are getting so cliché.
agreed.
The Golden Snitch disagreed
Queen Janeway Yes, it doesn't get more superficial than this.
Finally! Something i can buy that Ingrid made. ive been waiting for years her to come out with something like this, or just merch in general.
I had a really tiring day today and this videos help make me feel positive about life and that I should be myself.
Sometimes, I feel that I should be like this, talk like this and act like this. But in the end of the day, it doesn't really matter. Being yourself makes you special and unique in your own way. ♡Stop trying to be others and be yourself♡
I'm so happy that you made this video, Ingird and so proud that your jewellery collection is out. I really want to buy one but it's too expensive😂.
This is such an amazing and powerful video. And I don't care for jewelry but these are so simple and I love everything that they represent. I have followed your channel for years now. And you have grown and come into yourself so much. You are brave. You are beautiful. You are an inspiration. And I thank you. Because I feel like I have grown with you. You have been so pure and honest and I will always love you and be greatful for you just being you.
I literally got chills watching this. I love the story behind your jewelry collection. Congrats Ingrid :) X
as a freshmen in college I've been trying to fit in with others, but I just end up being someone I'm not and I'm so tired of it. That's not how I imagined my life to be as a young adult. I really thought that by now I will be confident and happy, but I'm not.
and so I'm here to give myself a chance to grow into a me that I will love, not what others expect. I can't thank you enough Ingrid, for your beautiful words
Ingrid! Your video is so beautiful it is hard to begin to put into words how inspired I feel. Thank you for all of the wisdom you imparted - I was touched by every single word you shared. You have inspired me stay brave, be curious, and keep going :) I am so thankful that there are people like who are making the world a better place by sharing wisdom that uplifts others. Though you shared that you have endured deep struggles, it is clear that these struggles have also been a gift because they have allowed you to become very self-aware and intelligent - a beautiful gift we all hope for in our lives. Thank you for your inspiration :)
I just graduated basic training for the army and for the past two months I've missed your videos so much.
If you'd mentioned the jewellery collection in the title, I think this would be excusable. But the fact you set this up as a heartfelt video of honest advice to your viewers, complete with inspiring tone and emotive music only to advertise more merch is very disappointing. Not 'authentic' at all.
Katie Ahronson Yeah, she claims to be lesbian so she can take advantage of the LGBT community.
You radiate so much hope and you can just tell how much you care in the way you present yourself. I love it and I really needed this reminder right now. Thank you 😭 I appreciate how real you stay to your channel and subs 💕 can't wait to try out some of your stuff!
Ah, i love this kind of content so much ❤️❤️❤️ it's so peaceful and warm😻 good job ingrid!! ❤️❤️
Omg not kidding I was staring at your necklace like 'It's so pretty, I want one like it" And when you said you had a jewellery collection I jumped off my bed! So proud! xx
Congratulations on your collection, Ingrid! I'm not a big fan of chunky colorful jewelry and I love how subtle and meaningful each of these pieces are. It's clear you put a lot of thought into the collection, and it's the kind of quality jewelry that you could wear everyday instead of having to search around for an outfit to fit it with. Lovely.
I love this. I needed this. Thank you. & I'm proud of you. ❤
I love you so much ingrid !! You have been an inspiration for years now and i am glad to hear your struggles because it makes me feel a little more sane and realize life is crazy sometimes but do what you love and it will be beautiful
I love how the collection looks like and the message it is bringing across. Your entire msg too in this video means a lot to me at the moment. Cheers and hugs. All the best in all that u do!
Timing, girl. You freaking nailed it.
Thank you so much Ingrid! I love you. I looked at your jewelry collection and I love it. Definitely on my Christmas wish list.
This is so empowering. Thank you for sharing something that isn't for the views, the money or the publicity. It's from your soul, and we see that.
Happy birthday 🎁 to who ever celebrates it today! Congrats 😊
Hi! I just wanted to tell you that you're such an inspiring and intelligent woman. Your videos inspire me to be myself and help me deal with all the stuff that life throws my way. If you had a podcast, I'd listen to it every day, just saying :)
Thank you for the positivity living through this video, thank you for the messages. Meaningful. When I saw it was a video introducing your jellewery collection, I thought "Oh, again, a way to make money easily because all your fans will be willing to wear your collection", I was sad a video with this theme was going to be a way to make money. And going through the video, I thought "Man, it's really important what she says, it's strange she chosed to present her collection here" and then you revealed what you meant behind all of the pieces, and it's meaningful, and it makes me feel better to see the importance you gave to give sense with all your collection. It makes me feel like you gave a life to every piece of it, and it makes me feel like you empowered them to make us (suscribers) feel better maybe ? That's what I want to believe. Sorry for the lenght of the message, but I really wanted to share it with you. No you no what ? I don't apologize here. I wanted to do it and I'm gald I did it :) Kisses Ingrid (P.S.: this video weng right a playlist I called "important)
Congrats on your line. However, I really Wish the video would have been you just chatting on this topic without the products. Your line deserves its own video. Also, I've been watching probably since you started your channel, could you please do some fun hauls for us, target runs, a vlog here and there just to break up the sponsored content. I fully support youtubers doing sponsorships don't get me wrong, I would just love to see more videos of you and your everyday life in between the sponsored content.
supersmileyfan this is honestly one of the best comments. So many people are being so rude and calling Ingrid so many different names instead of just leaving a simple comment like this! Thank you for being kind and not mean.
i met a boy who probably doesn’t even know this but i changed myself and lost myself so much for this person and i’m watching this video to find a way again and i love it so much...
Thank you so much for this video, Ingrid. I have been struggling so much with trying to say authentic and be true to myself. I am a freshman in college, and I have decided to drop out. This was the hardest decision of my life, and I have gotten a lot of hate over my decision. I know this is going to be so difficult, but as of right now college is not where I need to be. I have so many passions for a variety of things, and I decided to make a youtube channel to share those passions. My goal at then end of the day is to help others, and let them know they are not alone. Once again thank you so much for this video because it reminded me to not let other people's opinions define how I live my life. Hope your collection goes well. Much love, Julie :)
You have such a sweet soul! ❤️ Congrats on this new project! Always be true to yourself, you are beautiful!
I can't even tell you how much you inspire me Ingrid.xx
Omg looks so lovely❤️❤️
Love love love the message behind the collection. XOXOXO
girl!!
its like every point you make is like a check mark.
i think my take away is the work constant. or constant work.
we all might have those days of realizations when we know what we should do. we should constantly work though to make things work. because the path to getting know yourself and being self means constantly knowing you are a constant work of progress.
This was beautiful. Thank you. I know there are people who needed to hear this today. I may be one of them.
