Thank you for the mental health points. I had a fantastic pregnancy and delivery but postpartum was/ is awful. My mental health and myself as a person is struggling. I can’t put myself through this again. I worry but I have to put myself first

Well People is the besttttt non toxic makeup, their concealer is so good

I totally feel this, so many of my reasons are similar. I do struggle with guilt because my messy family is 'fAmiLy oRientEd' & I am going against that. I also get lulled by the notion of the idealized family with multiple kids- but we all know by now that image of family life is a lie. I am 31 with a 4 year old and was never sure that I wanted kids. I leaned towards no. It's so helpful for me to hear your explanation that despite having 5 siblings, you aren't close with them. Idk where this story of siblings being so important came from. Siblings can make things more negative too- like bullying & resource competition. Let me tell you those were issues in our house! I have 3 siblings. An ok / good relationship with 2 of them & a poor relationship with the third because he is prejudicial and mean. We played a lot but I grew up deeply lonely, too. That's because my parents were too busy fighting, working, drinking or being mentally ill to connect with me. This is unfortunately true. Yes, siblings were fun. But I wanted a loving & protective adult to care about me & connect with me. I have problems with overstimulation and liking a clean home too. Family life is nothing like it's depicted. 😂 I love her but it's so hard. I don't want to let go of my dreams. One is enough!

I love makeup, I like the ritual of putting it on and getting ready for the day. I drink my coffee while I do it and my Precious cat sits on the bathroom counter and "helps me" its our morning routine M-F. I go through periods of only wearing chapstick and mascara and other times I actually do my full face, just depends on the mood.

I'm really thankful for having a mom that never wore make up (in its full sense), only a bit of mascara and lipstick (but on rare occasions), and always told me to not ruin my face with it! First time I wore make up I was 18 years old and felt horrible. Really hated it. After that, wore some make up on night outs or special events. But never felt more secure with it! Plus, being as 'lazy' as I am with it, I always end up not wearing any make up unless there's a special occasion... So, basically the small amount of beauty products I have are out dated because I never wear them. Sometimes, my insecurities tell me to put on some of it but then my 'laziness' (which I'm grateful for that!) kicks in and I go out without it. Which is super duper liberating! In the end, even being very insecure with how I look, I feel much happier not wearing make up at all. Nowadays, it looks like women are more trapped in this industry...cuz yeah...if we don't look beautiful (by their standards) we're nobody. On the other hand, a lot of women are feeling tired of being beauty slaves...and are more interested in caring about their own happiness than the commercialized beauty crap. Kudos to you, gurl! Loved loved loved your vid! 🤍

Thank you for sharing mom. I am also one and done. I want to give 100% to the one I have as well. It’s not selfish it’s self full.

🥰

Thank you so much for pointing 3❤ I’ve always thought it but nobody talks about it. Your daughter will be so grateful❤

I am an only child, and I wished I had a sibling. My mother had no time to date anyone because she had to work hard, so she could give me the best she could. I had a quiet life but felt fortunate I could go to private schools, take different classes during summer, and had babysitters. I would not describe my life as boring since I enjoyed being with myself, and I had everything I needed. I wished I had an older brother or sister so I could have someone to talk or play, but at the same time, I knew mom could not afford it, and I understood. My mother is my best friend and someone I will look after when she can't do it herself anymore.

It looks as if you have had nail polish on …now that has a lot of chemicals …. However I agree.. we as women should not have to do anything to look beautiful.

We loved the rainshadow Café on our visit to Sequim

If we have to explain why a thing isn't deception then it is deception.

I just wanted to say thank you so much for sharing this. ❤

sad to many people sorry about your favorite places

Wow great video highly appreciated by an insecure person

Thank you for this video. I can relate to so much of it. I have a three year old daughter, and you are right - it does get better, and the experience just gets richer and richer. At the same time, as she gets older, I feel more and more like myself and cherish the full night sleeps, that she can play for 5 min on her own, that she has a strong relationship with her father and isn’t relying on my body for sustenance. I love our family life, as it is. I feel steady and strong and supported. I’m still wavering about having another child, but your video has been so helpful to reflect on and normalise my feelings.

I just binge watched a lot of your videos and you seem so relatable! Please make more content because we need people with your authenticity on UA-cam. I'm currently trying for my one and only and your content made me feel better about what to expect.

This is so beautiful. Thank you for your time in this video Valued ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

My parents each have 3. My mom and her siblings wish death upon each other. I resent my dad’s for stealing our inheritance and constantly inconveniencing.

I can do one. But I don’t want to do it again.

I’m 41 . I have one. I sincerely thank you for this This is exactly the best friend talk I needed to hear. 😢

Oh, huni, you're doing so great! I am post partum 11 months. I completely understand the mom guilt. But, be kind to yourself and love yourself!

Thanks for sharing this is so difficult, I feel like nobody i know really believes how intense it all is. I know this will all be fine in a week but then in another three it will be back. Its so hard to stay positive and not feel hopeless during this dark time.

I started suffering with this 3 years ago. It has destroyed relationships and brought me to such low places that, even as a person with some history of depression, didn't know existed. I am just a different person 10-14 days out of the month. Your video was so helpful, even if it's just to say we're in this together. I was diagnosed and prescribed prozac today. Hopefully in the future there will be more options.

I kinda hope your child doesn’t get born. I wouldn't wish this being an Only childhood on anyone. Not even on my worst enemies. It's cruel.

Rather than having just one..have NONE... that saves your child from a lifetime of misery, loneliness and missing out on the most important aspect of life: Sibling bond.

“This is beautiful but it’s grey” omg exactly how I feel 😢

No, my child doesn’t need a sibling to fight with.!! I’m enough to fight with her. That’s me telling those who bother me with these dumb questions. 😂😂😂😂

I have a 13 year old daughter and I’m one and done, good luck to those who want more. ❤❤

I really look forward to your videos always. They are so simple and refreshing. Thank you for vlogging on here. You make my days brighter

I always thought i would have 2 children but then i had the most horrific pregency, my c-section got badly infected, the hosptial treated me like dirt and i got put on a gestional diabetes diet when i didnt need to be. Postpartum i had horrible depression and i think i went a bit mad seeing things that werent really there, i honsetly thought our flat was haunted at one point 😅😅. Also i never ever wanna go through a newborn stage again 😅😅. Plus i wanna be able to give our daughter all our energy and time. We also dont want to be struggling with money. So yeah we are 100 % one and done. 😅😅

Awesome parents :) I'm so glad I found your channel. You feel like a friend, who understands.

Thank you so much I completely totally agree with you and I so much would love that majority of families in our world would be a family like you! Mother father and only child and you're only child will get really a wonderful development If you parents will keep going stain together this Child will developed your potential much More better than arrest of Kids because she will have enough of attention, advices from you at time love kindness at the same time she will not be Ableton Priest and egoist because except of child in the family also exist marriage and couple relationship end of course in order to have healthy relationship people have to dedicate time to each other to contribute to relationship of each other. So that's why only child incomplete family will never grow up to egoist selfishness and spoiled because exist couple relationship which will also motivate this child have San Francis share with Souls friends because mother and father and the relationship are a great example for this child to be friendly! Good luck to three of you guys! 👪

Thank you so much for sharing this, Alexi.

I grew up poor and teased for it so having one child is all i can handle financially while im single or always in this economy lol

You may have made up your mind but also dont forget in 5 or 10 yrs you can change your mind or your body might accidently change your mind for you haha

I relate. Pregnancy morning sickness and then no sleeping for years lol really put me off! And my bladder issues are worse now. I have anxiety snd insomnia and my child is 11 😅 so motherhood is tough. He's still in my bed lol sensory overload having a child. Best of luck ❤

So true. I'm a very attentive parent and hang with my son ALOT so he shouldnt feel very lonely. And i have a mum friend with 2 children we visit now. Thanks for sharing!

Im 35 soon and have 1 11 year old. Im single so i mightve missed out on having another. Few more years to find out but decided to stop rushing just for that reason. ❤ my son is very close to both me and his dad and we have lots of fun. I have 2 sisters, hated them and hated my parents lol bringing up a child with love is whats important.

Your not failure it’s a learning experience and if it helps, I’m terrible at making scrambled eggs and that is one of the easiest things to make

Well said. Subbed.

Your videos are of fantastic quality and clearly made with professionalism, yet it’s surprising that you’re not seeing more views or subscribers. I took a deep dive into your channel and noticed that your SEO score could be better. I’ve captured screenshots of the problem areas. Would you like to discuss them?

Wise young lady. Just beautiful. ❤

I wore make-up from age 20-26. Then didn't wear it for years I'm 52 now. My boyfriend passed away in May I have anxiety and depression and he took care of me until he got ill. After he passed away it really knocked my confidence. I needed to feel good again. So I started wearing a little makeup again. Not much just a little concealer for my age spots and some blush and lipstick or lip balm. I still look very natural because I'm not covering my skin in foundation. I know it's not a necessity but it makes me feel better.

What month is the best to come visit the PNW?

I like this video. I need to visit secondhand stores more often. They can have really great finds!

A sibling is the greatest gift you can give to your child.

I relate a lot. I have a two year old little girl. My sister and I are not close, she’s 6 years older. She has a severe mental illness and my mom is her guardian. Growing up my sister had more needs than me. I felt like the little “big” sister a lot of times. My mom was amazing but she had so much on her plate that I didn’t get everything I needed emotionally. I am super close with my mom though. I just never want my daughter to feel that way. My mental health was awful from the lack of sleep for the first 8-9 months. It took 15 months to start feeling better. I have been thriving ever since. I can never go back to that dark place again…it was very scary. I have gone back and forth but if I am being honest, I know my marriage, daughter, and self would be happier and healthier staying just as we are. I love being able to give my daughter all my attention.

I love your channel! It feels so genuine, part video diary part hanging out with a friend. Really enjoying seeing what life in the PNW is like for you!

I’m so glad you shared this. Thank you so so much.
