Goodbye Social Media
Hello and welcome! Thank you for tuning in. Don’t forget to like and SUBSCRIBE!
In this video I decided to talk about how social media has consumed most of us, blurring the lines between our online personas and real selves. It demands our attention with endless scrolls, curated illusions, and fleeting dopamine hits, leaving us disconnected from the present and from each other.
I touch on how social media has a way of feeding our vain tendencies, urging us to curate the perfect photos and posts to project an idealized version of ourselves. It becomes all-consuming-you close the app, only to find yourself back on it moments later, sucked into a virtual world of endless rabbit holes. One reel leads to the next, and hours slip away into a pattern of mindless scrolling. I’ve realized how much of my time and energy has been wasted. Ultimately, I’ve chosen to unplug and delete Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, and Twitter, and have become more selective about who has access to me and my family, even online. This step back is a step toward living with intention, authenticity, and peace.

BUT don’t be fooled, this is an almost IDEAL morning, which does not happen everyday. I’m honestly surprised it happ...

8 Tips I wish I knew BEFORE Breastfeeding
Love this sis!! Been thinking about leaving instagram for a while🥹
Thank you so much Sis🥹❤️! Definitely pray on it🙏🏽
I have pants that i posted on reddit & they said it was too loose too casual and someone bought them for me. 😢
If they are business pants, it should be okay. Just make sure you iron or steam them well so they look crisp❤️
I did the same! I removed Instagram and Facebook but decided to keep UA-cam.
Isn’t it so relieving in a way?❤️
THIS! Preach Mamie
Thank you Bethany!❤️
This book literally made me throw my kindle across the room at one point. I read it over 5 years ago, and still feel angry about it. Completely irresponsible writer. Not sure if you've seen the youtube video "Euthanasia Fan Fiction," but it uses the book and multiple interviews of the author to make the case that she is essentially recommending and glorifying suicide to people instead of trying to heal. Also, I couldn't agree with you more about how the book is misrepresented in the blurbs and summaries. Two of the four friends literally barely matter at all.
I am so happy to hear I’m not alone on my stance with this one. I feel so bamboozled by the mass recommendations…
I received mine today now after reading all these reviews I’m afraid to use it Darn
Just proceed with caution haha it may have been because of how fresh my stretch marks were😅
Yeah, I did not get a tingle. I got a very very hot sensation. It worried me for a little bit, but then it eventually went away.
I’m happy yours went away and didn’t turn into a burning feeling 😮💨
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 facts!
❤️🙏🏽
❤❤❤
❤️❤️
You better stop get som help
Wtf is wrong with you
Yes👀
Keep up the great work 🙏
Thank you!! 🙏🏽
I didn't even know that McDonald's had a chicken Big Mac. Whaaat? I love chicken. I've got to try. 😮
It just got added limited time
Yes! It’s a limited time menu option and the chicken is like 2 giant chicken nuggets🤤🔥
Wow incredible results!
Thank you cuz🥹❤️🙏🏽 I’m excited to see what the final results will look like in 6 months!
Here is your airplane necklace from? So so cute!
Thank you!!! You can find so many options for the pendant on Amazon and Etsy🥰 a.co/d/ipXbNYz
I just tried but I feel you went in too early from just having a baby I literly feel 0 heat I wish I had felt a bit of heat because it make one feel like something is happening but literly 0heat for me .
That definitely could be it! Maybe my stretch marks were too fresh🥴
My last baby was born 15 years ago. I waited several hours after my shower and when I used it, I got it very very very hot sensation. My skin was burning hot.
@ this is good to know! I’m seeing a lot of mixed reactions to this product.
Is it okay to wear prints under your blazer?
I don’t see any issue with that😄 as long as it’s tasteful and not too overbearing you should be fine!
Fix the typo in your thumbnail 😊😉
Haha thank you!
❤❤❤❤
🥹❤️🙏🏽
Tell me why I was stressing hard about what to wear even the night before of my face-to-face interview......It's tomorrow and I'm doing last minute touch ups. Praying I get it.This helped a lot!
CONGRATULATIONS AND GOOD LUCK LOVE!❤️🙏🏽 I’m so happy you found this helpful!
Some Christian groups love to proclaim that Halloween traditions are based on the Celtic harvest festival of Samhain. They tell us that at this time of year the ancient peoples of the British Isles celebrated magic rites because the door between our world and the spirit world would open. Celtic occult practices loosed demons on the night of Samhain, which we now observe as Halloween. Christian parents would need to shield their families from Halloween practices, if this story of Samhain were true, but it's not. What we find after close examination and scrutiny is that the accepted origin of most Halloween traditions/beliefs comes from historical fiction, rather than historical fact. Completely contrary to what many would have one believe, Halloween is _not_ a holiday that has close ties to the ancient past, nor does it have some ‘pagan’ antecedent, nor is it a continuation of several ancient pre-Christian customs. To say Halloween’s connections to ancient Samhain, or anything “ancient” for that matter, are, at best, extremely tenuous, would be grossly overstating the facts. Virtually all of the customs associated with the modern secular celebration of Halloween developed only in the past 500 years and have no connections to ancient pagan religious practices. In short, Halloween just does not have the “pagan precedent” so many people seem to desperately want it to. What is definitively known about Samhain (that's SAH-wen, BTW) would fit on about a page and a half of paper. What gets passed around the Internet as “history” and “fact” is mostly speculation and utter nonsense. The primary source of what is known comes from the books of the Ulster Cycle. By most historical accounts, Samhain proper was preceded by three days, and followed by three days. In some accounts it’s only a three-day celebration (not a seven day). Samhain seems to have been a time to prepare for winter, to welcome in the dark half of the year, cull the herds and celebrate the final harvest of the year. One particular activity that these old Gaelic texts seem to suggest was very popular at Samhain was…. horse racing. That sounds a lot like many European holidays today from October-January. The texts also speak of it as a time to pay tithings, gather taxes, and the holding of a judicial assembly (much like the Manx ‘Tynwald Day’). There is zero evidence that it was a religious observance, that it entailed any ritual, that it was a celebration of the dead, or that it opened the Celtic year. Anything else asserted to be associated with Samhain is either pure wishful thinking or absolute nonsense. There is zero evidence the Celts ever donned costumes of animal pelts to ward off evil spirits. Costuming for trick-or-treat comes from about 1930's America. The concept of trick-or-treat dates to about then as well. It has no ties to mumming, guising or souling. Historical similarity does not equate to historical sameness. There is no continued ancient tradition. Pagan Romans avoided the ashes of their forebears, but Christians looked upon the graves of their dead as having spiritual importance. Christian cemeteries were not final resting places; the grave was only temporary. Christians looked forward to the bodily resurrection of their brothers and sisters, and visiting the grave of those who slept in Christ testified to this belief in the resurrection. The resurrection of Christ had rent the veil that separated the living and the dead. The early catholic church did not merely boast a universality over space, but it also claimed a temporal universality. Could death really separate the saints whether living or dead now that Christ has risen? Christians gathered at the tombs to celebrate because in this way the members of the church who still lived could include in the celebration the members of the church who had died. Heaven and earth were joined, in a sense, when Christians both living and dead simultaneously worshiped the God who would one day reunite them. All Saints' Day was a nice addition to the liturgical calendar because it gave all Christians the opportunity to celebrate the martyrs' victory over death. After all, not every city in the Roman Empire had a local martyr shrine because not every city had experienced persecution. Why should martyr-less cities lose the blessing of celebrating what Christ has done through his saints? As I said, it wasn't the pagans who were fascinated with the dead; it was the Christians, because it's only the Christians that believed that the dead don't stay dead. Summer is over and the days are getting darker. What better time to acknowledge that we live in a fallen world? What better time to remember the martyrs who died during the dark days of persecution? But even though things are dark, we celebrate with joy. We can laugh as we dress our children in images of death because we know that death no longer has a hold on God's people. Though things look dark, we mock the darkness and we mock death because we know that we haven't been abandoned to the darkness and that in the darkest days of the year, Christmas will come, and the days will get brighter. Some readers will still be wary of Halloween after this explanation. Some will say, "But isn't the Roman Catholic cult of the saints an idolatrous syncretism based on Pagan hero cults?" The answer is, no; that's Enlightenment propaganda. Others will ask whether Catholic superstition about the saints is really any better than pagan superstition. I would suggest asking these questions: Do I believe the martyrs should be remembered? Do I believe that the dead will rise again? Do I believe the power of Christ has conquered death? If you answered yes to these questions, then you believe the fundamental doctrines that motivated the historic celebration of All Saints' Day and Halloween. When we celebrate Halloween, we are definitely participating in a tradition with deep historical roots. But those roots are firmly situated in the medieval Christian past, not an ancient pagan one. (Some of the above was paraphrased from a 2015 article written by a C. Garbarino)
I’m always open to learning more from accredited historians and cites😄. Do you have any scholarly articles to share similar to the ones I’ve linked in the description?
Agreed with the above. Celtic paganism is almost completely lost. What people do nowadays is mostly made up from their modern imaginations. All Saints Day was originally held on the Sunday after Pentecost, the day that celebrated the birthday of the Church with the descent of the Holy Spirit. So it makes sense that the many martyrs in heaven were remembered after Pentecost. Later it was fixed to May 13 (which falls near Pentecost usually) because the Pantheon was consecrated as a church that day, named after St Mary and All Martyrs. Somehow the date was later changed to November 1st. Probably as the calendar developed they found the fall and the end of the church year to be a good place to celebrate all of the people in Heaven and look forward to the second coming. The church year begins with Advent, the anticipation of Christ's birth.
@@keeperofthedomus7654 Yeah, it was changed to 1. NOV by the German church for political reasons as I recall. Some scholars even suggest that November 1st may have been chosen simply so that the many pilgrims who traveled to Rome to commemorate the saints could be fed more easily after the harvest than in the spring (when it was originally celebrated).
I really enjoy your youtube channel especially the way you cover. I noticed a few array when i could help optimize your video reach a larger audience. would you be open to discuss this further.

It’s $199 on Amazon for both and case
I bought both the belly and the booty masks and the burning 🔥 holyyyy cow.i literally felt like my butt was LITERALLY on fire 😭 it was horrible the 1st time (I had just showered) decides to give it a chance and use up the bottles apply several hours after showering and I've finished both bottles and honestly it didn't work. What a waste of money. Their marketing got me but it literally didn't do a darn thing but burn like crazy 🤷♀️😭 I wouldn't recommend it
I’m happy to hear I wasn’t the only one who wasn’t fond of the burning. They definitely don’t describe the sensation correctly on the bottle😅
