recovering from a depressive episode triggered by a concussion
this is my advice for people going through a depressive episode. post-concussion it's really easy to get a depressive episode either if you had chronic depression and have chronic depression or even if you just had prior depressive episodes it's really likely to have one triggered by a concussion. often times it's due to the types of feelings of uselessness that you will feel after a concussion the fact that you just can't do things you have to let your brain recover and can be really triggering for a depressive episode but there are a lot of ways to come out of it.
my biggest advice is kind of taking a break taking a step back and slowly adding in the different responsibilities or tasks and using your support system and the understanding of other people because people are very understanding especially of situations like a concussion people don't necessarily always understand mental health but especially if it's a post-concussion depressive episode they'll understand that you have a concussion and that it's hard so with all of that you'll be able to make a recovery both physically and mentally

Anyone who loves fairies will love this dress!

Putting on Makeup to look like a Man
Nobody gives a damn
I love your fairy pants idea! I'm going to try something similar for an upcoming music festival! I love the leaves. <3
Thank you so much for this video! Do you have any suggestions for your first drag costumes?
This was sooo fun to try 😊
Wow! They’re really cute. I love the orange one. ❤
I had to giggle as I was watching this. When you got to pleating the skirt I was thinking huh I should have bought a bolt of tulle and pleated. Two seconds later: " don't pleat" so glad I found this. I know it's an older video but still VERY helpful. I'm currently in the process of attempting to create my version of a water fairy. Thank the heavens for UA-cam tutorials and an early start lol
I have been going through the same thing for the past 4Years. Am actually 23Yrs Old. It has been so frustrating to have less or Zero friends close to me. Time is running and I haven't enjoyed my youthful life a little. I have also wished to have friends like you who we share the same ideology. At least that one friend I can change his/her life. Damn! This thing hurts soo Much, Soo much to bear . I wish you quick recovery dear. Hugs from ME :)
the final result is so handsome! I like this! thanks for the tutorial!!
You are so wholesome, and this was so helpful!
You are so wholesome, and this was so helpful!
Fantastic video!! I love to see a young Native taking charge and making her own Regalia. Btw... I love that your skirt is A-lined...it's more flattering that way. But some people might need a little extra room when fitting over the hips. So the waist measurement should slide snuggly over the hips and elastic measures to just under waist size (as you mentioned). You're a master seamstress, but it's something I've run into. Thought I'd share.
Great!!
Great! Dragkings are still so rare! Wish you much fun as dragking. You look great
These are SO cool!! What was the brand of shorts that you had used to draw the pattern from? Any guestimate on shorts length? Love thissss.
Thanks !!
I appreciate your comments re cultural appropriation. I don't believe in cultural appropriation; I totally believe in cultural appreciation. I have heard Native Americans go both ways but mostly in favor of sharing your culture. Any culture, or organization of any sort, based on exclusion is doomed to end. All respect,
There is a difference between cultural appropriation and appreciation. it's really the difference of understanding the culture (even a little) or not knowing anything (when people decide something looks cool and don't care about the background/history/culture behind it for example "boho" patterns and designs are clearly inspired or even taken from various native designs, there is no credit or background given to the designs. That's an example of cultural appropriation which does definitely exist). Cultural appreciation is definitely encouraged.
How many yards of fabric and ribbon pls
It really depends on the size of the skirt for one that's xs-s it'd be about a yard of each thing
2 1/2 yards should do it if 45" fabric. One spool of 10 yard ribbon would probably do it, especially if doing different colors.
Cutieee
Thanks for the video & for sharing. You can get wider, 1-2", heavy duty elastic that will hold up a skirt, even one of heavier fabric. You could also use elastic in just the back half of the waist & use ties in the front (make 2 buttonholes in the middle of the front of your casing. Sew the ties into the side seam. Run the ties thru the casing & out the buttonholes. The buttonholes can be on the inside or outside, whatever suits you.) This would make the skirt more adjustable. On your side seams, sewing from bottom to top will help minimize stretching that seam. Thread can match or coordinate. It can get pretty expensive, always buying new thread colors. A very inexpensive option would be to use invisible nylon thread which you could use on everything. I love your choice of fabric & ribbons. Again, thank you & keep up the good work.
Very nice ribbon skirt, can you talk more about your jingle dress regalia, and your indigenous heritage, do you identify as two spirit? Very well made video
I don't think that Ill make a video on it or anything but while I try a little to stay connected I grew up in the suburbs and didn't get much exposure to my relatives and culture so I don't feel that I'm connected enough to share or anything
@@SunflowerKidAugust you could share your experience as a person in transition or on the edges of different cultures or trying to straddle 2 cultures. I'm sure there are a lot of people like you, trying to connect, reconnect, or stay connected with their culture(s).
I love it. I will definitely be adding one of these to my sewing to do list.
Boop boop
Thanks for showing me how easy making a skirt can be! The ribbons remind me of how my aunt would extend the bottoms of her kid's jeans as they grew by sewing different colored cuffs to the bottoms. The girls jeans would have ribbon or lace too. Love the background music, very soothing.
Why don't you all mention the items you use on the face??
I'm sorry but I made this video like three years ago, there are newer ones that are better
I don't remember subscribing, but this sounds cool Edit: I'm happy I subscribed whenever I did
I'm in musical theater and was going to play a guy but low and behold it got canceled but I'll let you know this was helpful
You are adorable!! Thank you for helping me! My first attempt was a MESS. So heres to a better second attempt.
Can a Drag King be a "straight" female.?? Someone who likes men, someone who likes to dress like a boy but wants to date a male & be a Drag King. 🤷♀️ I don't know, that's why I am asking.
Yeah of course anyone can be a drag king you don't even have to be female to dress really masculine and preform
I sew a little but I've never used a real pattern I always use old clothes. I just made a video on my channel where I upcycled a Walmart Sweatsuit. I think I'm ready to make something from scratch now lol. You did an amazing job!!!! I love the angels you used and you explained everything so well!!! 😍😍
Oh my gosh thanks! I've altered some clothing and I don't have the most technical skills but I just enjoy being able to make the clothes that I want
great job :)
Thanks! I bet your drag look is fantastic as well
@@SunflowerKidAugust I don't have one yet but I am so inspired
Wow I just watched your tutorial from two years ago and then this one and you've improved so much!! I identify as a guy but I don't think dressing as a queen is really me so I love an androgynous look and this will help me with that sm! btw, in drag you look exactly like Pearl from drag race as a boy hahaha
I'm happy that it will help you! I was introduced to drag two years ago when I decided that it would be fun to be in the drag show at my college my freshman year and it really helped me understand my identity and I just love how drag allows for gender exploration. Best of luck to you and your journey in drag avatar Roku 🔥🌊⛰️🍃
I just think this isnt really a tutorial? You just show how you do this but dont really explain a whole lot. When I try to do this I miserably fail bc 1 I cant do make-up for shit and 2 bc I personally feel like it isnt explained well enough
I don't use makeup rather than for drag so I know that you can do it. You want to darken the space around your eyes, color in your brows, darken the sides of your nose and lighten the top of your nose and the hardest part is darkening your cheek bones the best advice I can give to get the cheekbone lines right is to look at a picture of a skeleton and make the dark part of the skeleton dark on your face. I like to go from the spot where the top of my ear connects to my face and an inch from my mouth
@@SunflowerKidAugust yeah I am already bad at contour itself so trying to follow this was pretty hard for me. Mayor thanks for explaining it in the comments tho.
💜💜💜Army
I rly want to try it for myself mostly, or go out in public nonchalantly to try it out ☺️
There are drag Kings that just take mass transit to their show in their whole look if it's done well people won't even question you
OMG!!! Jack didn't you use to be Jackie From Emmet, RAMS and RAHS It's Kaitlin Birchem we use to hang out at school, and Girl Scouts. I don't know if you'd remember me, since it's been a looong time.
Oh my gosh it's been forever
It's actually a little surprisingly that you recognized me lol, a lot of people get caught off guard by the short hair
@@SunflowerKidAugust nah, I knew it was you. Your face still looks the same XD I can also hear a bit of your younger voice(if that makes sense :P)
Hi! I'm interested in doing my first drag show as a drag king. I've never bought myself makeup before. And I was wondering, for the foundation and powder stuff do you want them to be the same shade as your skin tone or maybe a shade or two lighter? And for the darker conture about how many shades darker should someone go??
It depends on the look you want but aim for getting the powder and foundation as close to your skin tone as possible and for the contour don't be too crazy with how dark you go. You want to be kinda a tan skeleton but it should also be believeable from a distance
I hate hairy arm pits so much
No one asked mate

I hate them too (on myself) but u didnt have to comment it. Ur momma ever tell you "if you have nothing nice to say,say nothing at all" ?
