I have been working on realizing that asking or requesting what I want is not mean or taking up space or time. As a fat, black woman I have always feared coming across demanding or 'aggressive'. I am so proud of Nahla for knowing that she had the power to ask kindly for her order. You also empowered her. ❤🎉
As long as you’re nice and respectful that it was a mistake, most people will just say sorry they messed up. If I pay for food, I will always ask for it to be right. I’m really fat and would get embarrassed by eating fast food for awhile, but now food brings me more joy than peoples opinions of me. So I still EAT. It suck’s that you have to put extra effort into life because the world has decided black women can’t be mad. Black women are the only reason us white women have any power. Take a rest, friend. I’ll go make sure your sandwich is correct.
Two things can be true simultaneously. You can accept yourself as you are, and still acknowledge that you want to be around and thriving to see your children age, and possibly start families of their own years down the road. You seem comfortable, and peaceful, overall. So happy for you.
I was a really shy kid and I wish my mom had encouraged me/exposed me to more opportunities to build up my confidence and ask for what I’d like. I think it’s so cool that you support Nahla like that
About being fat ... I felt that deep in my soul. And I think it's always contributed to me being an introvert. It's contributed to me not even attempting certain goals. So, thank you for being vulnerable enough to start the conversation. I feel seen.
My sister and I were just saying how mean people can be when they are hiding behind their computers. I am someone who has been overweight most of my life (and that is a lot of years) and I applaud your acceptance of yourself! That is one of the reason I love your videos. I never accepted myself. The amount of pictures I offered to take so I didn’t have to be in them is ridiculous. My husband, who loved me no matter what my weight was, died five years ago. When I went looking for pictures of the two of us together it was heartbreaking. I have very few for the amount of years we were together. Keep being you and please know that you are beautiful, wise, and funny as hell! You have pulled me out of many bad moods.
Same here, Sarah has really helped me start to accept myself. I also have only 2 or 3 photos with my partner and I know that's not going to be enough later in life, so I totally feel your pain at not having those sort of memories to look back on.
Please take all the pictures you can. And videos with their voice. Learn from an old lady 🤣🤣. An attitude like Sarah’s is the best thing you can do for yourself!
Nahla girl you’re so right about first period gym being the worst! I had swimming once in HS first period and we literally had 8 minutes to dry off, shower, and change for second period lol.
Ive been fat since early childhood, I'm 26 now and in the last couple of years I've realised just how much my experience of the world has been shaped by my body. Teachers, peers, colleagues, I never don't feel like the first thing people judge me for is my body, like I have to prove I'm not a lazy POS the second someone clocks me. Thanks for talking about it and all your hard work on vlogmas, I can't tell you how much it brightens my December ❤
Sarah :Vlogmas is the Beast and I am the beauty…. Nala: Opens mouth to talk.. Sarah: Dont be mean! As a mom of a teen girly myself.. I’ve never related more 😂🫶🏻
Your LIVE was so successful! I'm so glad I was able to be on at the same time. It actually felt like we were all hanging out. 📚❤️ Also your Vlogmas is the only one I've really been following daily
This one hit a lot of different topics that resonated with me, but for some reason it was you saying that it shouldn’t be a gift for Jay to have shoes that fit him that really choked me up. It is always abundantly clear that you are the best Mom to your kids. 💜
I was not expecting to cry this early! However you are so right. I hate that there are things I feel like I can’t do because I’m a heavy person (like complain about food being wrong). I matter, I don’t take up space and there is more to me than my physical appearance. Thank you ❤
I’m the oldest of seven sisters and the only one that is not overweight. I was an ICU nurse for 35 years so I know how being overweight can cause serious complications. I never tell my sisters they’re fat I just try to give them advice on how to get healthy. Most of them appreciate my advice and a couple don’t want to hear it so I don’t push it. I can see you are a confident person and smart , getting criticized by strangers is wrong. ❤️
It's sad that we judge people by how they look but it's programmed in us and it's hard to change. You helped my a lot with my body confidence. ❤ The one thing that still gets to me is the people that comment something about me on a day that I feel good even when I dont ask for their opinion.
I've been wearing fresh cream with cashmere for 8 years since the end of high school. I still love the scent. Fresh cream without the cashmere is really good, too. Fresh cream is my everyday scent.
❤❤❤❤ so happy to find this when I did it was perfect timing for me today I swear you could read my mind and knew I needed it exactly when you uploaded it today!! Thank you!! ❤❤❤ all my love & lots of prayers 🙏 🙏 ❤❤
I understand how you feel. It was hard for me to accept myself at the weight I am and my aging but I’m getting better about it. I’ve been watching you for so many years and I’ve always thought you were beautiful with or without makeup. I admire how you can dress both casual and can pull a look together for going out so well. You’ve got great style.
YESSSS to WHAT I EAT IN A DAY videos💕and yes those little cappuccino mixes, are essentially sugary water with some coffee flavour hehe but I used to love the ones they sell at gas stations/corner stores, THAT FRENCH VANILLA HITS💕 hehe
Giiiirl, u need to try them dagne dover Landon carry all tote bags. I use the size small and it's pretty much the same size as your mark Jacob's one, but I think the medium is perfect if you like to carry a lot of stuff.
Sarah Rae tell Nahla if she gets her hair wet to brush with a hard bristle brush and wrap her hair, than tightly put on a silk scarf overnight it should straighten out. Also totally agree with your message as you get older you realize you love you for you😊❤ and it gets easier to accept the good, the bad, and in between.
Sarah your videos are always enough. I have enjoyed all your vlogmas videos. And just in case you dont know this you are beautiful ! Merry Christmas to you and your family!!!!!
You talked about it in the last vlog but I’m gonna comment here 😂 I would love to see things you get for your son Jaiden too as far as clothes. I have a son about the same age and it would be cool to see where you shop because I struggle LOL. Love the vlogs
Do the kids do that ballroom dancing class thing? My kids school in Elmhurst did that in middle school. It was a different dance every week they’d learn on Friday nights. The girls thought they were doing it. The boys hated getting dressed up.
Holy cow, the kids are giant! I can't believe how tall they are already! 😢 ❤ Is their dad really tall? My 9 year old son is almost as tall as me now 😢 lol He wants to see that movie so bad lol I can't wait!! I wish we had a cool theater like that!! Thanks for vlogmas and for sharing your life!!
I have always been heavy..plus size...and my fiancé is a slim guy. I used to be so scared about what ppl would think. Like why is he with someone like me? Took me a long time to get past it unfortunately but I did! I deserve love as much as a skinny girl.
as a fellow big head haver, my prescription every day glasses are the oversized clubmasters! fun fact, they also come in an “asian fit” which has a shallower set for the lenses.
Yay it's a Monday with Sarah Rae girl you are so awesome and I so enjoyed the live chat please keep doing what you do girl your amazing ❤your fine the way you are girl your beautiful ❤ Nala and Jay are so cute 🎄
I’ve always been shy and didn’t speak up much however now don’t try me 😂😂. My oldest daughter is shy but she have always spoken up for herself and her siblings!
I use to Not want any confrontation with Anything but as you get older and the price of things now days you Need to speak up no matter what. I did enjoy hanging with you guys it was fun 😁🥰

“The UA-camr, not the man that lives under the sea”💀
I was just coming to say this! This literally made me laugh!!!
Right 😂
😂 I was eating my breakfast and did not see that coming lol almost choked 😂

The old videos with kiddos are cute beyond words.
Truly enjoying Vlogmas! I love having it on in the background. Just hanging out with Sarah and family for a bit each day ❤
Thank you for all of the hard work you are putting into vlogmas ❤ you are so appreciated
I Always thought you have always been so Confident and I love that.

Learn from an old lady 🤣🤣. An attitude like Sarah’s is the best thing you can do for yourself!
@@lisagomley I intend to do just that.
I'm 48, so not exactly a spring chicken myself!!😆
@@heatherydew3361 Good for you! ❤️
You and I are sympatico in our thoughts and feelings. That is a compliment to us both for... many reasons. Happy Holidays Sarah.
I just love vlogmas a video everyday is such a treat 😂 I would love a What I Eat in a Day video.♥️
Nahla girl you’re so right about first period gym being the worst! I had swimming once in HS first period and we literally had 8 minutes to dry off, shower, and change for second period lol.
Why are your kids sooooo cute and nice and cool and funny😭

Love the idea of continuing book talk lives!
Awe you’re so beautiful Sarah! Inside and out. Glad you’re seeing yourself as beautiful. I know how hard that internal voice can be. 💕
Your kids have grown into such cool people! Sometimes I forget they’re only in middle school 😂 The maturity level is impressive!
Ooh do a fragrance video! What’s in your collection? What are your favs right now?
Sarah :Vlogmas is the Beast and I am the beauty….
Nala: Opens mouth to talk..
Sarah: Dont be mean!
As a mom of a teen girly myself.. I’ve never related more 😂🫶🏻
I’m gonna miss yall once Xmas is over besties 🫣
I always watch your videos but never comment…i love your vibe and how sweet and supportive you are with your daughter and son! ✨ 🫶🏼
Girl just everything I needed to hear to today! Love your personality
Your LIVE was so successful! I'm so glad I was able to be on at the same time. It actually felt like we were all hanging out. 📚❤️

When you feel something so hard, thank you for being you.
Also a Luis mic-up would be fun! Maybe a bake off with him!!

Sarah, you are the mom most of us needed. ❤❤❤
The taking stuff from moms house will never end. I'm married and have a good job and I still shop from my mamas house.

Girl! Went to my local Dollar Tree and they had the Alani kiwi guava there. I bought one to try and yasss its so good. ❤❤❤❤

Watching your vlogs are like catching up with a friend ❤
One day I wish to be able to say, “Where did all my money go…did I spend it??” 😂
LOVE the book lives! Will you just let us know when youre going to do the next one?
Yeah if I’m going to do another I’ll announce it first
You are fabulous Sarah! ❤

I love these type of videos.
I hope you do more lives!! And Thxs for sharing 🎄❤️🍪📚
Loved the Mother-daughter content in this vlog, mom's are the single most important women in the world (especially my mama & SRV) 😉❤
I'm enjoy your vlogmas so much
Giiiirl, u need to try them dagne dover Landon carry all tote bags. I use the size small and it's pretty much the same size as your mark Jacob's one, but I think the medium is perfect if you like to carry a lot of stuff.
I've had both first period gym and last period. Neither one was good lol I did love square dancing
Loved this Vlog, looked like a fun day with the kids❤️
I had to hurry up and watch last nights vlog to watch this one ❤️ i like to save some Sarah for my morning

I would love to see things you get for your son Jaiden too as far as clothes. I have a son about the same age and it would be cool to see where you shop because I struggle LOL. Love the vlogs
Thanks Sarah I am really enjoying Vlogmas this year(with what I don't miss because of UA-cam) but I'm LIVE LAUGH LOVING IT, LOL 💙
Hi beautiful! I really have been loving Vlogmas.. Thanks for sharing
Definitely try Vaseline Rosy lip therapy for that moisture with a slight tint look if you haven't already!
Do the kids do that ballroom dancing class thing? My kids school in Elmhurst did that in middle school. It was a different dance every week they’d learn on Friday nights. The girls thought they were doing it. The boys hated getting dressed up.
Holy cow, the kids are giant! I can't believe how tall they are already! 😢 ❤ Is their dad really tall?
My 9 year old son is almost as tall as me now 😢 lol
He wants to see that movie so bad lol I can't wait!! I wish we had a cool theater like that!!
Thanks for vlogmas and for sharing your life!!
I have always been heavy..plus size...and my fiancé is a slim guy. I used to be so scared about what ppl would think. Like why is he with someone like me? Took me a long time to get past it unfortunately but I did! I deserve love as much as a skinny girl.
I can no longer find the Hourglass Veil Reyouching fluid!!! Sephora doesn't have it anymore?!? 😢
My daughter has 1st period PE too and let me tell you she's devastated daily 😂
as a fellow big head haver, my prescription every day glasses are the oversized clubmasters! fun fact, they also come in an “asian fit” which has a shallower set for the lenses.
I loveddddd this vlog 💚💚💚
Love the video ❤
Loving Vlogmas Sarah! Fun fact, my son, (he’s 32 now), wore a 12 when he was 12. He topped out at a 15! Get ready😂🥰🥰
You know you’re from w Midwest when you have to learn square dancing in gym class😂… the nostalgia I felt
Insanity haha our school was predominantly Mexican so we learned salsa, merengue, and bachata in gym 😂

I bought some of those cappuccino powders last year thinking it would be just as good as I remember from long ago but I couldn't make it work.
I’ve always been shy and didn’t speak up much however now don’t try me 😂😂. My oldest daughter is shy but she have always spoken up for herself and her siblings!
I had no idea that J was that big!!! You can’t tell because we only see them with you and not with friends his age!
Yeah, he’s definitely shooting up in height/size right now
I use to Not want any confrontation with Anything but as you get older and the price of things now days you Need to speak up no matter what. I did enjoy hanging with you guys it was fun 😁🥰
your amazing!
What do you give kids for nausea? I thought I had it all, but I got nothing for nausea 😮
It’s usually at amusement parks so we give them non drowsy Dramamine
@@sarahhhrae ah ok, thanks! I’ll pick some up so I’m prepared!
Is the kids dad still in there life? You don’t mention him much
There’s a button right beside the power button that has S&Q written beside it for slow mo 🙄 hope that helps! ❤
Yeah I realized that’s what I was clicking so now I’m all paranoid that I accidentally hit it haha
@@sarahhhrae ugh yes exactly 😩😂😂
