I had all those symptoms but writing and read my Bible and prays talking to God help me a lot l. And know I can encourage ours who maybe going through rough times.
Video ideas I would love to see: - The perfumes you like most to wear to bed 🌙🌙 - The colognes your husband wears! - Most unique scent notes and perfumes that have them - Your everyday decision making like when you get out of the shower, during the day, if you are doing nothing, what you are doing, outfit, reapplications. - Best perfumes your subscribers have recommended - If you could make a perfume: your top notes you would put in it and why - Scents that you relate to very important memories, like your wedding scent or when something rlly important happen I have been binge watching since I found you and these are ideas that came to mind but I LOVE YOUR CONTENT!! And hearing you say you are not feeling well makes me sad! I really hope things get better for you, I’ll be keeping you in mind 🤍🤍🤍 you are an awesome person :))
We love you K. Clinical Psychologist here. I'm happy to support you. You helped me discover perfumes, especially perfumes within range, and l'm happy to help.
thank you for being vulnerable enough to share how you’re feeling with us, we definitely care about your mental health and personal life and not just perfumes, we are here for you.
I am in my 50s and just learning how to manage anxiety and depression that hit me during menopause. It was the need for a lift and motivation to get up in the mornings that got me hooked on perfume. It’s my aromatherapy. I am sorry that you are experiencing these lows at such a young age but you have a wisdom beyond your years and your followers care about you. ❤
Girl I have struggled with anxiety and depression since middle school and you are so right about staying active. It’s hard but so important. I’ve been having some anxiety lately, whenever the seasons change my anxiety ramps up for a few weeks. I really respect you being open about your struggles - it definitely helps people feel less alone ♥️
Being active has been my number one healer that’s why it sucks when i get sick and im unable to move my body 🥴definitely relate to seasonal depression, luckily spring and summer are just around the corner🙏
Don’t be sorry dear! I think the message is so helpful to others. Proud of you! I got into fragrance as a part of self care when depression was robbing me of a lot of other pleasures. It also helped make hygiene something to look forward to rather than a chore when the metal illnesses are making everything seem hard. ❤ best to you!
Your painting is amazing! 💗 Thank you for talking about your struggles. I am right there with you on all of it. Anxiety and depression can so easily spiral downward and we do feel very alone as we begin to withdraw more. You are definitely helping people by sharing so openly. Sending lots of love and light your way, and to everyone else here who is going through this also. 💗
I also have anxiety and depression, what helps me is watching people or shows I enjoy. So watching your videos uplift my mood and I would love to hear you talk more about your life and this type of stuff. ♥️
I’ve had anxiety since I was quite young, and since 2021 I’ve been dealing with depression due to some things that happened in my life. It can get so hard to get out of bed and start my daily activities. Recently I’ve been trying to do small things like take morning walks or just doing my hair can make me feel better a bit. Watching youtube videos on perfumes also helps a bit since I’ve loved fragrance since I was young. I’m glad you talked about it, makes me feel less lonely, and I love your painting!
I always enjoy your little personal off-topic interjections, makes you that much more fun to listen to on the day to day. Thanks for sharing, sending love
That painting is stunning! You're so talented! Loved this video, thanks for being so transparent with us, I'd rather come to this channel then Google! ♥️
Listening you talk about your personal life you remind me of my children. They also draw and go through anxiety, they where homeschooled and relating to people outside of home is so difficult for them. So, I get and see your pain. Hang in like you said keep your mind busy. You can get through it, there is always a better day
I know a lot of people that are feeling sort of "down" right now. I have anxiety off/on so appreciate you sharing. I'm looking forward to spring and being able to take walks outside again. Hugs to you, take care of you.
Ksjena!!❤️ I know this video is from a year ago and you are probably feeling better now today but, you are so beautiful inside and out and so brave for being this honest online, I applaud you🙏🏻 Thank you for being so open, genuine and not just another UA-camr/influencer. I love your channel and it’s a joy to watch your content. Anxiety and depression is no joke.. and if you can manage it without meds that’s amazing. I’m hoping to get there too some day. Thank you for continuing to be open and spreading all the love and joy❤️💗❤️
You're not alone. So many of us struggle with anxiety and depression. You're a lovely person and we appreciate your honesty and sharing this with us. Hope you feel better soon 🙏❤️
That’s one of the reasons I really like your channel because you tell us about yourself interject things about your family about your dog and about how you’re feeling and I really like that. And you’re right everybody’s going through something and it’s nice to know there’s other people out there who are just keep things in and it’s good to let it out …so you make sure you take care of yourself and you let us know how you’re doing. By telling us what’s going on with you you’re helping yourself and you’re helping everybody else knowing you’re not alone. 💝
Real Talk! You are not alone. Many people suffer with anxiety and depression. These are the conversations more people need to have. I too suffer from anxiety and depression. It is a roller coaster. Sun and warm weather helps me a lot. Take care of yourself always. ❤️
Really hope you start feeling better! I'm quite a bit older than you but totally understand the hard days. You're right a little sunshine, movement and self care helps but everyone is different and honestly life really can be hard. Wish you well and great content.
Awww take care little sister. Big hug😘 gargle with salt water and get plenty of sleep and ease your mind and worries with a favorite movie or TV show that is light and uplifting. Sending you only good vibes💫🤘 And thank you for putting, and leaving up the name of the perfumes your reviewing. Cause sometimes I become interested in buying what your discussing about half way thru your description and its so convenient to not have to rewind to the beginning of your review...so big thanks!!!!
3:52 I love it! Sailor Moon is one of my favorites, and my daughter’s too! 😊 I definitely feel you with the depression and anxiety. Usually I can get a handle on things, but I’m currently pregnant and super hormonal, so that’s throwing me off. I usually like to workout to help my stress and anxiety, but I’m so sore from pregnancy right now. Reading had been helpful for me lately. Also I love tea 😊.
I've struggled with so much in my life. Nothing or no one could help me but God. I have struggles that still come up but they don't keep down anymore and I've experienced so many miracles with the Lord. So I'm sending prayers ksenja love your videos!😊
You're such a sweet, smart, beautiful young woman and soul! And kudos to you for being real and vulnerable. It's absolutely what makes me LOVE your channel. BEST of luck to you with your channel and your journey. ❤❤❤
I decided to reach out because lately I've been going through the same. Its like at the moment I feel should be overjoyed. I'm not I have great anxiety. I will be getting married and graduating but I feel so overwhelmed and depressed. So thanks for telling your story it helps me that I am not alone.
Thanks for sharing your journey with us I appreciate it I suffer with anxiety and goes through similarities I love each and everyone of your videos and will continue to watch😍🙏🏼😘❤️
I completely relate with what you’re going through. When I’m sick, it usually triggers a depressive episode that’ll last until way after I’m feeling physically better. I had a stomach bug a couple of weeks ago and it triggered a really awful depressive episode. Thankfully I’m feeling better now but it was rough
You’re not alone❤️, my anxiety/depression has been at an all time high and I definitely can feel the difference not being able to get out in the sun. ( I live in SoCal and we got hit with a lot of snow lately) I feel the difference when I go on a walk and the sun hits me. Loved your openness and it definitely reminds others they are not alone. Thank you for sharing and I hope you feel better soon! I just got sick with what you had last week. 😞 lots of tea with honey and some soup with bone broth and turmeric.
Beautiful, Incredible painting😳. So nice of you to share your issues...my Son struggled. We all of course have issues... some more severe than others. So Gr8 you l're recognize yours and are so insightful to mental health issues and share what works for you. Your perfume videos are really researched, informative and fun 🤩 I Always find something new You're right though... so nice to get to know you. Stay well and enjoy all that you do. Staying busy, being able to focus and Passion are all ways to stay Healthy. Keep up the good work😍
You're not alone with this either, Ksenja. We all care about you and appreciate you. ❤ I know exactly how you feel because I'm dealing with something similar. I've been struggling with systemic lupus for over 12 years now and my flare ups have been the worst they've ever been the past few months. I'm taking meds for my lupus but not for my depression or anxiety so especially when I'm having a really bad flare up I also feel really depressed. And you're right, the smallest things matter and everything is an achievement no matter how small. It's not easy to get through these hard times but one day the sun will shine a little brighter again. Please take care, I'm wishing you the very best!! p.s.: I adore your sailor moon painting, it looks incredible!!!
You are not alone in all your going through. Take time you need for you. Love your channel! watching you and what you do here is part of my therapy to calm me when I am struggling. So, thank you for helping me❤
You are amazing for sharing what you’re feeling, I hope it also made you feel better to be able to share with us! I def relate, I struggle with anxiety too and know exactly what you’re talking about. I was in therapy for a few years too and I can say that the advice you gave were the very first things my therapist made me do! Walk, get some Sun, do things that bring even just a bit of joy, etc :) Thank you for sharing!!
Wow that’s a beautiful painting👏🏾👏🏾I have a house full of plants and that’s peace for me. Taking care of my plants or just sitting and looking at them relaxes me so much so I feel where you’re coming from. All the best 🥰
I love Lancome Miracle!🌸🌺🌸 It's in my top 3. So pretty, feminine & a sweet floral. It's underrated. 💕💕💕 I also love Hanae Mori Butterfly. Beautiful, soft, elegant & sweet done right
Thanks so much for being real with us , I suffer from anxiety and depression as well and I can relate. Love your painting :) and you have great advice. I have been walking lately. I also really love all of your videos.
Your painting is amazing lol do you know how hard it is to draw?? Lol I love it. I used to battle anxiety and it was a sense of not feeling in control. I’ve really been diving into just spending time with God, reading my wordsand worshipping him and it’s made me feel better especially in times of trial. I pray that you overcome these trials. I appreciate you being real and just being vulnerable. God bless you Ksenja❤
Hi Ksenja, great painting skills! Keep it up! Another good way to sort of escape whatever is happening is to grab a book, it literally transports u into a different reality, wherever the book action is taking place. Great dupes line up, another good dupe for Amani Si is In woman by La Rive. Get well soon!
I have same problem … or health issues for my thyroid disease that make be on bed with not energy crying.. so I know what it feels…. I send all my love
Hi Ksenja, I love that you are open and honest about this. We are all human and we are going trough our own battles. I think would be quite good if you do vlogs and show more from behind the scenes and your day to day life. Take care x
I feel this, when I'm really struggling I try to do the little things, make myself some tea, maybe light a candle and doing something for myself. I often neglect myself when my depression and anxiety gets really bad so I try to find things I can romanticize when I can.
Thank you so much for being transparent and sharing with us. Sometimes letting it out and talking about it does help you to get through. Watching something funny is also a great idea. Laughing is one of the best medicines😂 I will be praying for you and for anyone on here that’s going through this. I pray for the peace of the lord that surpasses ALL understanding to dwell in you all. May his love and joy fill you up to give you strength to push through. He Is able. There is no greater love than the love of Jesus 🙏🏼🥰💋
Has anyone smelled “Cuba La Vida” side by side with “La Vie Est Belle” ? I see that they have the exact same notes. I have smelled LVEB before and I own La Vida. From what I remember I think they are very similar, but LVEB maybe blended better. It’s smoother (Although I’m not a huge fan of either). I would have to smell them side by side to know if they’re truly dupes, but if so it’s a good affordable alternative for the people who like that fragrance. La Vida is like $5.99 for a 1.7oz. You can’t go wrong with that price. Love your painting btw! Drawing, painting & coloring can be so relaxing in moments of mental chaos. I also agree with you about taking walks. I find that to be one of the best alternatives to medication/supplements.
I don’t know if is your pretty shiny eyes or your where crying but I cry too 😢 I do have a lot of that and in my case I release my anxiety working in my yard with my flowers but since my ugly episode with sciatic last summer I’m scared now to do something wrong to my back but I get it. We have to find the way to restart life is beautiful and sometimes in the simplest things we find happiness. Thank you for your words and your videos always help me a lot ❤❤ THANK YOU 🙏 😊
I am watching you now and i am already proud of you,. Hope to find that courage ASAP.. because me my anxiety and depression is crushing me into pieces.
My mom used to give me her mostly used perfumes and she loved Lancome. I wore Miracle all the time. Now that's she's gone I need to get it back. We have ties to scents and it's a nice way to remember a person or place. I hope you know you are adored and we love watching your videos. You're more than just a UA-camr, you're an actual person and how you feel and are doing matters.
Girl I FEEL.... currently sitting at a table just having touched bottom for the 197th time but your words got me to straighten my backbone!! Especially the drawing part youre so right thank you for the reminder dear!! 😍😍
Hi Ksenja! I understand your struggles and depression. Remember that those negative feelings don’t define you at all. I hope you feel better soon! Btw, you paint really good!
I hope you get to feel better soon! My therapist always says to me it's okay to rest when you need to and don't feel guilty for not being able to do something else because at the end it's your body telling you to stop and lay down. I'm not really sure 100%, but I have some sort of a dupe I came to find recently. It's the body shop's Indian Night Jasmine, and I think the scent is somewhat similar to YSL Libre. Now, Indian Night Jasmine has been discontinued, but Wild Jasmine is said to be (by the body shop) they're the same scent. I haven't smelled Wild Jasmine yet so I'm not sure about that one, but I know Indian Night Jasmine (I got mine from mercari as well), is a bit more powdery and sweet, whereas Libre has more of a green/clean scent at first. I hope someone else here thinks the same as I cannot find anywhere else about this comparison!
Girl, I feel you. I used to even got irritated when my husband played with me. Take ashwagandha gummy, a really help me a lots. I almost lost my second marriage. But I am so happy now. Hope you feel better.
Ksenja, thank you so much for sharing with us what you’re going through. It really is comforting to know that no one is alone in struggling with anxiety and depression. It’s ok to not be okay but it’s important to try to do what we can to feel better. Love your suggestion to take a walk in the sun. Needed to hear that. Self care and doing things that make us feel happy are so important. I enjoy your videos so much and my spirits get a big boost from sharing enthusiasm for fragrances with you! I’m sure that thousands of your followers can relate to what you’re going through (I sure can!) and are finding comfort in knowing that there are many others going through similar things.
Hello Ksenja I don’t normally comment, but I felt like I should this time. I believe that a lot of young people have anxiety and depression now, I think it’s the times. Life is much more demanding and harder for young people than when we were young. I’m much older than you and I see it a lot with the younger generation. You’re a special girl and a lovely girl. People are here to watch you because they like you and your channel. Keep smiling and keep positive. You have a lot to offer.
Thank you for sharing, I can relate to your struggles, I’ve been struggling with depression and anxiety since 2017, and like you said there are good days and there are bad days, so I’m trying to keep myself busy when bad days come.. Sending love to you ❤
I'm definitely trying some of these I've tried Lacoste perfume before can't remember the exact name but the bottle looked similar it was more of a black and deep purple colored. It smelled sooooo good and stayed on my jackets for days, so I'm very excited to try the bright crystal dupe
Ksenja, I am giving you a virtual hug!! I love your channel and I appreciate you for sharing your emotions. I resonate with everything you say and you're so right about how it's so hard to do everyday things once you're really down. We will both be strong.
Self-care in whatever form is so important for mental well-being. Your painting is awesome BTW. I enjoy coloring in Kerby Rosanes books and such when I'm down. Also, I have a huge collection of body mists, lol.
awww your so sweet I just want to give a hug baby girl🤗❤️ I love your honesty and it’s Your channel so don’t apologize especially not for being real and vulnerable to thousands of strangers I applaud you seriously you are allowed to say anything you want and your true followers will of course appreciate and support you in all you do. I would love to see you explore more with your UA-cam channel maybe like some ‘Shop with Me’ videos, and just going into stores showing all the new body care and perfumes, also you can show us your favorite hygeine/shower products and layering combos… If you’d like to share more of yourself maybe make a Vlogging channel or just add that kind of video to this channel 1 or couple days a week. ( Idk 🤷🏻♀️ just some ideas lol hope it helps❤) I pray for God’s peace and protection upon you may he always shine his Holy light upon your life God bless you and all your family with health happiness success peace and joy much love to you always pretty girl🙏🏻😊🍀💫💚
Girl love your Sailor Moon painting! I love that we have similar taste both in fragrances and anime 💖🥰 I'm always going to support you and I hope you heal from whatever is trying to get you down. Love and hugs 🌙
I have anxiety and depression as well. It sucks. Luckily, I live in South Florida so whenever I feel like it is creeping up on me I go to the beach and go for a dive. Salt water really helps. Hope you feel better soon ☺️
I have anxiety and its with me almost always, I still havent found a way to manage it, as you said excersie helps alot and I try to move my body more but there are times that I gasp for air and I can hear my heartbeat in my ears when I cant distract myself, like when I'm in the metro or I am waiting for someone so yeah It helps to keep yourself so busy that you don't let those anxious thoughts get their way into your head. The worst thing is that after the whole day of anixety I get reaally tired that I want to go to bed really early and I don't have the energy to do the things I like. Hope someday we can find a way to get rid of this horrible feeling of being anxious alll day long.
How wonderful that I just found your channel today. It was just exactly what I needed. I, too, have issues with anxiety and depression. Hearing what you had to say was very comforting. I hope you’ll feel better soon. Sending hugs your way. I just subscribed to your channel. 💕
Your painting is goooooooood! 👍 So many people in the comments have been feeling down lately, me as well. I'm having health issues so I cry alot... It's crazy when you think you're the only one going through it because that's what I thought. Sometimes when Im down I sit in front of all my perfumes and spray about 4 of them on me, in different places and for some odd reason I feel better. 🤦🤷💆
Thanks for sharing, it was a message I really needed and could relate to currently - it was a great reminder to encourage myself to get out and do things when I'm feeling down, even though I don't always want to; you're right, it really does help ❤️
A good fish oil supplement can really help with this. I take Omega 3 from Nordic Naturals. It has fish oil as it’s main ingredient and they are soft gels that come in lemon and strawberry flavors.
Oh honey I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry you’re not feeling well. I definitely relate to all of what you said. But I want you to know you aren’t alone and that we watch your videos because of YOU. Not because of the perfumes. I’ve been binge watching your channel since I found it because you are so sweet and relatable. Your passion for perfume shows through in the way you describe them. Sending you all the hugs. I hope you feel better soon❤️ Also love the painting!
I had all those symptoms but writing and read my Bible and prays talking to God help me a lot l. And know I can encourage ours who maybe going through rough times.
I have anxiety and have had depression. Planting flowers in early spring and watching them grow and tending to them is one of my favorite things
same!! i love springtime and seeing my flowers being happier, it helps a bit for sure
Same for me and all of my Ukrainian friends. Everyone tries to connect to nature in order not to lose themselves…
🌼 That's such a good idea! And perfect timing, also.🌼
Awww i love that that’s beautiful 🥺thanks for sharing❤️I definitely cannot wait for spring and summer to come🙏
Same! I love flowers 🥰
Video ideas I would love to see:
- The perfumes you like most to wear to bed 🌙🌙
- The colognes your husband wears!
- Most unique scent notes and perfumes that have them
- Your everyday decision making like when you get out of the shower, during the day, if you are doing nothing, what you are doing, outfit, reapplications.
- Best perfumes your subscribers have recommended
- If you could make a perfume: your top notes you would put in it and why
- Scents that you relate to very important memories, like your wedding scent or when something rlly important happen
I have been binge watching since I found you and these are ideas that came to mind but I LOVE YOUR CONTENT!! And hearing you say you are not feeling well makes me sad! I really hope things get better for you, I’ll be keeping you in mind 🤍🤍🤍 you are an awesome person :))
Thank you so much for your ideas, i will definitely add them to my video list and thank you for your kind words🙏❤️

@@ksenja6023 you’re very welcome! 💕
Before this video,I was watching another video of yours while working and I couldn’t stop thinking ‘She has a very calming voice.’..Love and light❤
Don’t be sorry dear! I think the message is so helpful to others. Proud of you! I got into fragrance as a part of self care when depression was robbing me of a lot of other pleasures.

Ooh yes, I
Like that even when I’m well 💗
Beautiful, Incredible painting😳. So nice of you to share your issues...my Son struggled. We all of course have issues... some more severe than others. So Gr8 you l're recognize yours and are so insightful to mental health issues and share what works for you. Your perfume videos are really researched, informative and fun 🤩
I Always find something new
You're right though... so nice to get to know you.
Stay well and enjoy all that you do.
Staying busy, being able to focus and Passion are all ways to stay Healthy.
Keep up the good work😍
You're not alone with this either, Ksenja. We all care about you and appreciate you. ❤ I know exactly how you feel because I'm dealing with something similar. I've been struggling with systemic lupus for over 12 years now and my flare ups have been the worst they've ever been the past few months. I'm taking meds for my lupus but not for my depression or anxiety so especially when I'm having a really bad flare up I also feel really depressed. And you're right, the smallest things matter and everything is an achievement no matter how small. It's not easy to get through these hard times but one day the sun will shine a little brighter again. Please take care, I'm wishing you the very best!!
p.s.: I adore your sailor moon painting, it looks incredible!!!
What meds do u take for lupus if u don't mind?
Aww thanks for sharing your story🥺i’m sorry to hear about your lupus 😞keep your head up, everything will be ok😌❤️i pray for better days for you❤️❤️🙏
You are not alone in all your going through. Take time you need for you. Love your channel! watching you and what you do here is part of my therapy to calm me when I am struggling. So, thank you for helping me❤
You are amazing for sharing what you’re feeling, I hope it also made you feel better to be able to share with us! I def relate, I struggle with anxiety too and know exactly what you’re talking about. I was in therapy for a few years too and I can say that the advice you gave were the very first things my therapist made me do! Walk, get some Sun, do things that bring even just a bit of joy, etc :) Thank you for sharing!!
Wow that’s a beautiful painting👏🏾👏🏾I have a house full of plants and that’s peace for me. Taking care of my plants or just sitting and looking at them relaxes me so much so I feel where you’re coming from. All the best 🥰
I love Lancome Miracle!🌸🌺🌸 It's in my top 3. So pretty, feminine & a sweet floral. It's underrated. 💕💕💕
I also love Hanae Mori Butterfly.
Beautiful, soft, elegant & sweet done right
Thank you for sharing with us, I hope you feel better
Wow is that painting sailor moon my kids use to watch the cartoon it is amazing!! God be with you❤❤❤
Thanks so much for being real with us , I suffer from anxiety and depression as well and I can relate. Love your painting :) and you have great advice. I have been walking lately. I also really love all of your videos.
Your painting is amazing lol do you know how hard it is to draw?? Lol I love it. I used to battle anxiety and it was a sense of not feeling in control. I’ve really been diving into just spending time with God, reading my wordsand worshipping him and it’s made me feel better especially in times of trial. I pray that you overcome these trials. I appreciate you being real and just being vulnerable. God bless you Ksenja❤
Thank you so much🙏❤️
Hi Ksenja, great painting skills! Keep it up! Another good way to sort of escape whatever is happening is to grab a book, it literally transports u into a different reality, wherever the book action is taking place. Great dupes line up, another good dupe for Amani Si is In woman by La Rive. Get well soon!
I have same problem … or health issues for my thyroid disease that make be on bed with not energy crying.. so I know what it feels…. I send all my love
Sending love to you❤️❤️
Hi Ksenja,
I love that you are open and honest about this. We are all human and we are going trough our own battles.
I think would be quite good if you do vlogs and show more from behind the scenes and your day to day life.
Take care x
I definitely want to do vlog i just feel like i dont do anything interesting in order to film it😞
I feel this, when I'm really struggling I try to do the little things, make myself some tea, maybe light a candle and doing something for myself. I often neglect myself when my depression and anxiety gets really bad so I try to find things I can romanticize when I can.
It’s all about the little things..they make a huge difference 😌❤️
Thank you so much for being transparent and sharing with us. Sometimes letting it out and talking about it does help you to get through.
Watching something funny is also a great idea. Laughing is one of the best medicines😂
I will be praying for you and for anyone on here that’s going through this. I pray for the peace of the lord that surpasses ALL understanding to dwell in you all. May his love and joy fill you up to give you strength to push through. He Is able. There is no greater love than the love of Jesus 🙏🏼🥰💋
Has anyone smelled “Cuba La Vida” side by side with “La Vie Est Belle” ?
I see that they have the exact same notes. I have smelled LVEB before and I own La Vida. From what I remember I think they are very similar, but LVEB maybe blended better. It’s smoother (Although I’m not a huge fan of either). I would have to smell them side by side to know if they’re truly dupes, but if so it’s a good affordable alternative for the people who like that fragrance. La Vida is like $5.99 for a 1.7oz. You can’t go wrong with that price.
Love your painting btw! Drawing, painting & coloring can be so relaxing in moments of mental chaos.
I also agree with you about taking walks. I find that to be one of the best alternatives to medication/supplements.
I love hearing about you. You’re very relatable. The perfume is fun. Both are of interest.
BRO WHAttttt THAT PAINTING IS AMAZING KSENJA!!!! straight up you could sell that
Love your content, your painting is awesome!!
Love your painting!
I don’t know if is your pretty shiny eyes or your where crying but I cry too 😢 I do have a lot of that and in my case I release my anxiety working in my yard with my flowers but since my ugly episode with sciatic last summer I’m scared now to do something wrong to my back but I get it. We have to find the way to restart life is beautiful and sometimes in the simplest things we find happiness. Thank you for your words and your videos always help me a lot ❤❤ THANK YOU 🙏 😊
❤❤❤ you not alone. You painting looks amazing!😊
I have a sore throat to its annoyinnnnggggg lol and have been having anxiety and not sleeping and thats an awesome sailor moon!
I am watching you now and i am already proud of you,. Hope to find that courage ASAP.. because me my anxiety and depression is crushing me into pieces.
My mom used to give me her mostly used perfumes and she loved Lancome. I wore Miracle all the time. Now that's she's gone I need to get it back. We have ties to scents and it's a nice way to remember a person or place.
I hope you know you are adored and we love watching your videos. You're more than just a UA-camr, you're an actual person and how you feel and are doing matters.
Girl I FEEL.... currently sitting at a table just having touched bottom for the 197th time but your words got me to straighten my backbone!! Especially the drawing part youre so right thank you for the reminder dear!! 😍😍
So glad to hear that❤️🙏keep your head up❤️❤️
Hi Ksenja! I understand your struggles and depression. Remember that those negative feelings don’t define you at all. I hope you feel better soon! Btw, you paint really good!
I love your painting!!
I have anxiety too. Talking to a counselor or therapist is soooo helpful. If your insurance or budget allows, consider it!
I hear that alot and I definitely need to do something about it, thanks for sharing❤️
Thank you for your encouraging intro 😭❤️
I hope you get to feel better soon! My therapist always says to me it's okay to rest when you need to and don't feel guilty for not being able to do something else because at the end it's your body telling you to stop and lay down.
I'm not really sure 100%, but I have some sort of a dupe I came to find recently. It's the body shop's Indian Night Jasmine, and I think the scent is somewhat similar to YSL Libre. Now, Indian Night Jasmine has been discontinued, but Wild Jasmine is said to be (by the body shop) they're the same scent. I haven't smelled Wild Jasmine yet so I'm not sure about that one, but I know Indian Night Jasmine (I got mine from mercari as well), is a bit more powdery and sweet, whereas Libre has more of a green/clean scent at first. I hope someone else here thinks the same as I cannot find anywhere else about this comparison!
Hope you feel well asap& ty for sharing, you are definitely not alone ❣️
Girl, I feel you. I used to even got irritated when my husband played with me. Take ashwagandha gummy, a really help me a lots. I almost lost my second marriage. But I am so happy now. Hope you feel better.
Ksenja, thank you so much for sharing with us what you’re going through. It really is comforting to know that no one is alone in struggling with anxiety and depression. It’s ok to not be okay but it’s important to try to do what we can to feel better. Love your suggestion to take a walk in the sun. Needed to hear that. Self care and doing things that make us feel happy are so important. I enjoy your videos so much and my spirits get a big boost from sharing enthusiasm for fragrances with you! I’m sure that thousands of your followers can relate to what you’re going through (I sure can!) and are finding comfort in knowing that there are many others going through similar things.
Hello Ksenja I don’t normally comment, but I felt like I should this time. I believe that a lot of young people have anxiety and depression now, I think it’s the times. Life is much more demanding and harder for young people than when we were young. I’m much older than you and I see it a lot with the younger generation. You’re a special girl and a lovely girl. People are here to watch you because they like you and your channel. Keep smiling and keep positive. You have a lot to offer.
Thank you for sharing, I can relate to your struggles, I’ve been struggling with depression and anxiety since 2017, and like you said there are good days and there are bad days, so I’m trying to keep myself busy when bad days come.. Sending love to you ❤
Very true❤️sending love to you❤️💗
I'm definitely trying some of these I've tried Lacoste perfume before can't remember the exact name but the bottle looked similar it was more of a black and deep purple colored. It smelled sooooo good and stayed on my jackets for days, so I'm very excited to try the bright crystal dupe
Ksenja, I am giving you a virtual hug!! I love your channel and I appreciate you for sharing your emotions. I resonate with everything you say and you're so right about how it's so hard to do everyday things once you're really down. We will both be strong.
Thank you🥺❤️
Self-care in whatever form is so important for mental well-being. Your painting is awesome BTW. I enjoy coloring in Kerby Rosanes books and such when I'm down. Also, I have a huge collection of body mists, lol.
awww your so sweet I just want to give a hug baby girl🤗❤️
I love your honesty and it’s Your channel so don’t apologize especially not for being real and vulnerable to thousands of strangers I applaud you seriously you are allowed to say anything you want and your true followers will of course appreciate and support you in all you do.
I would love to see you explore more with your UA-cam channel maybe like some ‘Shop with Me’ videos, and just going into stores showing all the new body care and perfumes, also you can show us your favorite hygeine/shower products and layering combos…
If you’d like to share more of yourself maybe make a Vlogging channel or just add that kind of video to this channel 1 or couple days a week.
( Idk 🤷🏻♀️ just some ideas lol hope it helps❤)
I pray for God’s peace and protection upon you may he always shine his Holy light upon your life God bless you and all your family with health happiness success peace and joy much love to you always pretty girl🙏🏻😊🍀💫💚
Thank you for your ideas and your kind words❤️💗
Thank you for sharing ! I love that sailor moon painting !
Girl love your Sailor Moon painting! I love that we have similar taste both in fragrances and anime 💖🥰 I'm always going to support you and I hope you heal from whatever is trying to get you down. Love and hugs 🌙
Hope you feel better. Love these dupe videos.
I have anxiety and depression as well. It sucks. Luckily, I live in South Florida so whenever I feel like it is creeping up on me I go to the beach and go for a dive. Salt water really helps. Hope you feel better soon ☺️
I live in South Florida as well and i love the beach but i have a HUGE fear of the ocean so i NEVER go in🥴
I loved your intro and can relate to it. Thank you for sharing how you were feeling 🤗🤗
Omgosh you’re so talented I loved your painting!! Never knew you were an artist. We love you girl and thank you for opening up and helping others.
thank you for sharing my darling I suffer from depression and my perfumes really help me love your videos take care of you
I have anxiety and its with me almost always, I still havent found a way to manage it, as you said excersie helps alot and I try to move my body more but there are times that I gasp for air and I can hear my heartbeat in my ears when I cant distract myself, like when I'm in the metro or I am waiting for someone so yeah It helps to keep yourself so busy that you don't let those anxious thoughts get their way into your head. The worst thing is that after the whole day of anixety I get reaally tired that I want to go to bed really early and I don't have the energy to do the things I like. Hope someday we can find a way to get rid of this horrible feeling of being anxious alll day long.
Definitely relate to everything you said🥺😞we will be ok❤️❤️better days are ahead😌❤️
Thank you! Perfect advice ❤
Love you Ksenja❤ i neeeeed to try the finery perfumes!!!
I would love to see a summer body mist sprays! I'm still looking for tropical ones
How wonderful that I just found your channel today. It was just exactly what I needed. I, too, have issues with anxiety and depression. Hearing what you had to say was very comforting. I hope you’ll feel better soon. Sending hugs your way. I just subscribed to your channel. 💕
Realist opening to a UA-cam video in a while! Your channel is what you make it luv. In the words of my fellow NYC natives, DO YOU BOO BOO 🙌🏾💐
Thank you🥺
Your painting is goooooooood! 👍 So many people in the comments have been feeling down lately, me as well. I'm having health issues so I cry alot... It's crazy when you think you're the only one going through it because that's what I thought. Sometimes when Im down I sit in front of all my perfumes and spray about 4 of them on me, in different places and for some odd reason I feel better. 🤦🤷💆
Great list sweetheart 👏👍🏻♥️
Oh my gosh. Thank you for sharing and for being so real with us. 🙏🏻. And, yes, we do care. I do the same thing when I get down. :)
Thanks for sharing, it was a message I really needed and could relate to currently - it was a great reminder to encourage myself to get out and do things when I'm feeling down, even though I don't always want to; you're right, it really does help ❤️
A good fish oil supplement can really help with this. I take Omega 3 from Nordic Naturals. It has fish oil as it’s main ingredient and they are soft gels that come in lemon and strawberry flavors.
Oh honey I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry you’re not feeling well. I definitely relate to all of what you said. But I want you to know you aren’t alone and that we watch your videos because of YOU. Not because of the perfumes. I’ve been binge watching your channel since I found it because you are so sweet and relatable. Your passion for perfume shows through in the way you describe them. Sending you all the hugs. I hope you feel better soon❤️ Also love the painting!
