But why does one have to put all of this fake stuff on top of what TMH God has naturally given us? Why add all of the makeup, weave, etc? Why does a woman need to put someone else's glory on top of her own to feel beautiful? I'm not saying don't take care of yourself but, is that not a form of conforming to the world? Doing what man or this world thinks is beautiful?What about the following scripture in reference to Jesus? Isaiah 53:2 KJV [2] For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
I understand this very different Taking care is you take care, stay healthy, dress good solid clothes. The other thing is self-marketing. Where it's not necessary to do it, but you can. And its all different stylings from hair, makeup nails, dressing to beauty operations. God wants us to look good I agree with that, but not in adding fakeex things or showing too much.
@@indy_Jimagine if Jesus looked like King David or Solomon who the bible explicitly states were attractive men. It would have been a mess.💀 The women who ministered to him would have been questioned regarding their motives! There is an extra layer of power that attractive men hold that we don't discuss because men are not considered the fairer sex but those who have that blessing end up dealing with the natural inclination of sexual attraction. Jesus had enough problems with the children of Israel. God spared him the lust factor.
Especially with people that have beautiful curves. You can dress beautiful just don’t do too much( dress provocative). God knows how he made you already. You don’t have to wear jeans and a turtle neck and a hat in the summer in order to hide your curves. What the…
God also gave Job the three most BEAUTIFUL daughters in all of the land. The key is not to become so caught up on your beauty that you take pride in it. The devil was one of God's most beautiful angels, and he took pride in that. That's one of the things that led to his downfall.
So why can’t I be mad or frustrated with God asking Him why He didn’t make me sooo beautiful? If God knows that this society is superficial, why would He make some people extremely beautiful and other people not beautiful?! What’s the point of living if God did not make you so attractive?
"God don't like ugly and is not too fond of pretty either..." You can be "physically beautiful," but just be careful not to become an "idol," or even "idolizing," yourself... yes, you can serve God when he blesses you with physical attraction 🌊🌊🌊
2 things: 1. The closer i am to God, the more beautiful I am. 2. when i speak about God, non-believers listen. Thank you Karine for these beautiful gems and your beautiful light. 🙏🏼✨💜
Looks have always mattered. I went to school for business 10 years ago and we were taught that. I still wear blazers when I have important meetings or interviews. I dress up to be taken seriously 💼
Yep! I took a 'business ethics' class a while ago and the teacher said " It's as simple as asking someone for directions" you choose who to ask for directions because of the way they 'look'
We live in a depraved society that no longer values beauty, thats why even our buildings are ugly! Its a reflection of our soulless society. I also have coworkers, other women give me the stink eye bc I dress well and take good care of myself lmao. What have we come to fr
Oh wow you are so right about the building 😢 I always say back then, buildings and architecture in general was so complex and beautiful… what happened? As a society, we just don’t care anymore.
I always feel like how everything is that they are try to make people lose certain joy and depth that life has, making everything plain and ugly. It is so sad.
Im tired of this "ugly" women are jealous of "beaitiful" women narrative. I am what society categorizes as ugly. Older, heavier. Let us age in peace. No we dont need to look "hot"24 x 7. If a woman chooses to do so, good. But why so much contempt for those of us who let go?? Do you think at 65, your makeup, botox, skincare, is going to make you look any better than a 65 year old living in the amazon?? Leave us alone. Be satisfied with whatever attention you get from the males and leave other women ALONE.
Recently a school of swans swam super close to me in my backyard (full of water). As a city girl, it was a surreal experience and in that moment I understood that God is THE true artist and brings beauty like this to the world. All of this is to say that maybe beauty is not something to shame or destroy with but to celebrate and treasure in everything we see 💖💖 Funny enough, the Bible had Esther, and I had these swans to bring me closer to God 🥹 P.S. Karine I pray all is well where you are especially with the recent weather recently
@@karinealourdementalgems❤️❤️❤️ Thank goodness!! I meant to ask you in your previous post but I'm relieved all is well where you are. My prayers are with everyone who was affected by the recent events 🙏🏼💖
I just started my daily and nightly skin care regimen and starting my work out routine in a couple of weeks right now I’m just kind of focusing on my skin and hair and nails and eating healthier
I became less vain when I started to focus more on adorning myself well. I gained weight in my undergraduate years, I became so self absorbed, always looking in the mirror, felt self conscious, and felt more attention seeking because I didn’t feel attractive. But when I decided to exercise more and eat healthy, my body changed and I became less vain. I no longer feel the need to look in the mirror multiple times a day, or to see how my body is looking. Adorning yourself well (while pursuing Godliness) is good for your self esteem.
We are talking about the same God who created the ocean, mountains, roses, orchids, waterfalls and gorgeous creatures the world over and we dare fix our mouth to call beauty a sin 😩 Our body is a temple of the most high🌹
I used to be so beautiful and I say this with all humility. I remember when I was about 14, I told God to take it away from me because I was getting too much unwanted attention, and He did. I have now repented for rejecting his gift and i am open to getting it back. I see it returning and this time, over a decade later, I will use it to His glory because I did not create myself, he is the artiste, and I'm just His painting/Creation/Work.
This comment just made a thought pop up in my head. Sometimes I pray asking God to take unnecessary attention away and hide me from it because it gets so overwhelming to the point that I get angry. I’m wondering if I should paraphrase it differently when I pray or what😅 I’m confused…what do you think?
My daughter is Non-Verbal Autistic and I worry how she will be treated in the future because she is special needs 👸🏻💞👶🏻🥲🙏🏻🫶🏻I pray that she will make friends and get a job in the future
This year i've had multiple health issues, and i lost myself and my maintenance. I was known for always looking nice, but since my back to back issues i lost the desire to get back into the groove of things. I cried after watching your video and i thanked god for this video. Thank you i needed to hear this! God Bless💕
I believe people are demonizing the benefit of being beautiful because it is associated with femininity who misogynistic people (even some women) hate. I was born beautiful like my mother and other women in my family. I am finally so proud of it and I think it is a blessing. I will do everything to use it wisely. This world is so full of beautiful things and I will not make myself less because of other people's insecurities.
I use to bit my nails when I was stressed and that is frowned upon in the area of my profession. So, I prayed and I remembered how much I loved walking when I was younger. Now, when I am stressed, I go for a walk. 2 miles a day. Its good for my body and kerping my stress at bay. Plus, I get to listen to music or an audio book for 40 minutes. My nails are healthy amd looking good now, I moisturise my hand alot at work and I always keep a nail filer with me where ever I go in case my nails break or tug at something. I now take pride in my nails and professionals love healthy nails on both men and women. My manager gets his nails done every 6 weeks with his wife! Funnily enough, I listen to you every morning doing my skin care routine, my hair and make-up. You have such a soothing voice that you relax me while giving me such good tips. Thank you Karine ❤ I recommend the book "nice girls don't get the corner office", the author talks about this and the mistakes women make in the workplace when presenting themselves. I highly recommend it for this channel 💛
I knew a young guy who was going back in forth with his faith and trying to ground himself in general. We were discussing the Lord and he said one day he was asking God some questions. Shortly after that two pretty girls caught his attention. They all began to talk and the young ladies kindly began to minister to him. He took it as a confirmation from the Lord about his doubts but he knew God understood how to get his attention. He started walking closer to God after that.
I click because she is well spoken and brings knowledge also aside from her looks. I have clicked on females video based on appearance but was like bye as soon as they spoke. For me the whole package is important. I appreciate a wise person that shares the same values as me.
The moment I stopped caring how the world viewed me is when I've found not only inner peace but also a profound level of freedom, it's a liberating feeling, I feel and look my best I feel beautiful 🌺
That’s not from God sis. The enemy wants us to have low self esteem and not take care of the temple(our bodies) so that we walk around gloomy not drawing anyone to the kingdom. God created beauty, just take a look at the evidence. All the varieties of flowers, butterflies and birds. He created colors and paint the sky with the sunset. Nature is evidence that He loves beauty “for you are fearfully and wonderfully made” he took pride in making us beautiful. Rebuke those thoughts, stay humble but also take care of the temple 💖💖
Because ppl guilt trip and then deep down we feel guilt but it’s self care and is mandatory for self health!! Ppl are so weird sometimes and intentionally try to mess with y’all inner light 💡.. right ? That’s my feeling .. and i am learning to appreciate myself, after so long I understand the manipulation.
I was just telling God this morning presentation is everything and I care about how I look when I’m putting his word out and doing his kingdom business and to please give me a blessing so I can handle his business accordingly and look well while doing so ❤
Taking care of yourself is essential to honour God's creation the same way we take care of everyone around us. I think the worst advice is to 'Be Humble' since most people say it so we can shrink ourselves because true humility is from within not outside looking humble of looking like a bum. This is an amazing video that needs to be seen by a lot of people
Ladies , Esther and Sarah were gorgeous Ladies, beauty is a blessing cause you are born with ,also enhancing is also self love, GOD wants us to look good and health..another precious gem Lady K..thank you
Beauty is not only not sinful one day it just might save your life. When Er dr’s and nurses were surveyed it turns out they spend more time working on and reviving patients who are attractive!
Yes, present yourself well because when I run around doing errands looking like a hobo, people don’t even want to look at me lol. But when I do my hair, makeup and look casual chic, they smile, say hello, etc. It’s so true.
Yess it’s so real that u posted this I was feeling like the title of the video cuz I have been going through a deliverance 😭🙏🏽🎀nd last night went shopping got a cute comfy soft girl outfit did my hygiene routine ,added some bracelets to the look and lip gloss looking nice for the first time in a whiiiiile I have been in a spiritual transformation and realized how important it is to also remember it okay to wear cute /beautiful /sexy but demure outfits
A lot of good christian men struggle to attract women because of presentation and how they dress, its a phenomenon I've noticed in my country South Africa. This video is valuable information
Modesty is not just how many inches long your skirt is. It’s doing anything that says “look at me”, excessively drawing attention to your physical appearance/mannerisms. A few examples: tight clothing that shows off your shape (even if it’s long), heavy makeup, glamorous hairstyles, taking a lot of photos of yourself, etc… we will all have different convictions about these things but the Bible says that modesty draws attention to your inner beauty, not what’s on the outside. Ask yourself if you could share the Gospel in what you’re wearing. Ask yourself, truly, if it conveys the right message.
It’s shocking how Magnetic Aura on Borlest isn’t being discussed. The book is full of life-changing insights, yet no one seems to notice. Time to break the trance and read it yourself!
Beauty is a power that is shit down by the envious....she's right I know beauty is close to god energy....it is a feeling of pureness and high vibration...true beauty not FAKE.
This is an EXCELLENT video. Until humans become more enlightened, we will judge by appearances first. If someone isn’t a “classic beauty” or just “regular and average”, the trick is to enhance the best features and hide the worst features. A good example of this is Sandra Bernhard. She was considered a “sex symbol”, but she didn’t have an attractive face. Why? She counterbalanced her less-than-ideal facial looks with a stunningly perfect figure that men found EXTREMELY attractive. If you see the candid shots of celebrities without makeup, the majority of these celebrities are average joes or plain janes. They know how to use makeup, hair, and clothing to make them look beautiful. I compare it to fruit. Unless someone knows this, fruit is at its sweetest when it is slightly overripe, and when the fruit is slightly overripe, it doesn’t look the best. That fruit gets marked down or thrown out. The fruit that people buy is the most colorful, the shiniest, and the brightest - even if it’s not at its peak ripeness or ideal taste.
I thinned out, got a therapist, went to a dermatologist,...found my nail, eyebrow and hair lady. I never cared for about my looks more than I have now. I never thought to look at looks because my personality carried me for a while. What I learned as well is that when you work on your inner world, it also benefits your outward appearance. People will just want to be around you because your attractive. Men and women. Also ladies be mindful as she mentioned the puffy face. When your gaining/losing and in the gym, pay attention to how it impacts your facial features. I was at my peak 135, curvy as well. However, my face was so fat and I ended up dropping wait and my face thinned, still had a lil booty but my figure still looked good in clothes. Everybody is not supposed to be BBL bodies. Change your figure off of what looks and feels good to you. The old money aesthetic is my favorite because I went to a high school that wore uniform. I love uniformity and it requires less thinking. I am an intern, student and worker. I 100% agree with this
I feel exactly the same about enhancing your beauty though dental work, facials, nail upgrades and exercise and NO to plastic surgery (unless it is to correct a genetic defect or injury) and NO fillers!
@@elisehill3574 I feel that people should honor the way their natural beauty is, and enhance it in ways that don't alter or falsify the foundation of their appearance.
I agree, Karine. I battle depression and I know when I’m getting depressed when I stop caring about my appearance. I know that I’m sinking further the worse it gets. How you keep yourself and your surroundings matter to God and it shows how much you value the fearfully and wonderfully made being He made. Love this. 💜
IMO God wants us to feel good about ourselves however, if you’re using your attractiveness for evil, or it becomes an obsession for you, I don’t believe he will be too happy with you.
Getting to the part where the gentleman was doing the ladies hair and seeing their reactions was priceless. We all have a beauty about ourselves that god gives us and bringing it into the world can be a truly empowering thing.
hey, Karine. Can you do a video about what ways Christian young women can have fun? There's a lot of folks out there who felt bored with their christian life and some religious folks ain't helping.
I knew of this at a younger age because the woman in my family were raised to dress well because as African Americans we had to look the part to get the "good jobs" or admittance to certain event and even back in the 80 and 90s dressing up to go out to a restaurant was a norm. Nowadays it just depends on the person. Society has changed the norm of what is defined beautifully. I say let's go back to those traditions of stepping up and showing up
This was a difficult message for me. I’m not the most attractive person in the world, and people have let me know this fact on more than one occasion 🤣🤣🤣🤣, but I think I also played into that idea of just accepting im ugly. I think I like using it as a crutch so when things fail or don’t go my way it’s like oh well we know it’s because of the way you look. So I think glowing up sometimes is scary because I can no longer use the excuse of appearance if things don’t work out.
I am elated to see THIS type of encouraging message. It is a gentle reminder to take pride in how we represent ourselves to the “world.” When we look good, we feel good, we do good, we ARE GOOD. I LOVE being uniquely me, without looking like a “template” of someone else. Simple grooming and hygiene is a small act of self-care and self-love. Merci mon amour!🫶🏽
So true about religions telling you what to wear as a women I remember I stopped paining my nails and stopped wearing heels and so many other things just because I was following a religion
I think you are very feminine and mysterious with a soothing voice. I am glad that you realized how women can enjoy their femininity once they overcome their insecurities and come closer to God and their self
A big Amen to this video! I love the editing, the articles, the Tik Tok bible study of beautiful and the hair transformations clips. First time commenter here. Keep up the great work
This was a beautiful video, pun intended! I feel like I have been called to take care of my templ inside and out! HE got me out here reading labels at the grocery store. 😂 but you are right, we need to take care of the temple he gave us.
Love this. Who else was crying during the hair transformation clips🤍✊🏼🖤all the good vibes. Do you remember the show, what not to wear? That’s what it’s all about. I struggled with whether or not sharing beauty tips was the right thing to focus on. Thanks for the clarity beautiful! Xx, E
I can't wait to i start to golwing up 26 year old and still can't find my style. Pcos makes hair grow on my face in never felt confident nor never dated and now i it well be hard to lose weight with pcos, stuck at a job that makes me feel masculine and run my skin because of the sun i cant wait to glow up .
My looks are something I’ve shied away from. I do get a lot of compliment but it’s awkward for me. I’m aware of what I look like but I don’t want it to dominate who I am inside so I shy away from it. But I’m gifted with fashion, I say this with all humility but I’m definitely gifted with a great sense of style. I do get a lot of attention from that but it can make me uncomfortable. I guess I’ll start to embrace my gifts, looks, and use it for GOD’S glory.
I don’t mean to be pick apart or hyper focus in on one part of your video, because there is alot of truth in what your saying. But I want us to be cautious and conscious of the fact that there is a lot about our appearance that is out of our control. People walking around with Acne don’t want acne, and I guarantee you they are the most hygienic about their skin vs those that don’t suffer with the condition. Let’s not equate beauty or being “well kept” with superficial beauty standards. Proverbs 31:30 says “Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.” Maintenance the body Yah gave you with proudness and put your trust in him, he will take care of the rest.
We are not talking about skin issues,acne eczema,oily skin,dry skin.We are talking about presentation exercise,dress appropriate,be humble,be kind,polite,listen to correction,comb your hair, moisturize your skin When u do all these things you become way more attractive or beautiful.That was my take away.😊😊😊
We can be beautiful but should be modest, I think that’s the key point ❤ Wearing modest make up and modest clothes, but still feel beautiful. We don’t have to show skin to be beautiful or wear tight jeans or leggings. God bless you ❤
Found you through your other UA-cam channel. Which I love! Your energy through your videos seems classy and lovely. Love that UA-cam started to recommend me this channel too! Curious what other topics you’ll cover. Thanks Karine for your gems 💎🤍!

People mistake modesty for being plain. Just don't be vain or sexually provocative. There's nothing wrong with beauty
Exactly!
Baby christians are often told to tone down their beauty.
Especially with people that have beautiful curves. You can dress beautiful just don’t do too much( dress provocative). God knows how he made you already. You don’t have to wear jeans and a turtle neck and a hat in the summer in order to hide your curves. What the…

I recommend the book "nice girls don't get the corner office", the author talks about this and the mistakes women make in the workplace when presenting themselves. I highly recommend it for this channel 💛
I knew a young guy who was going back in forth with his faith and trying to ground himself in general.
We were discussing the Lord and he said one day he was asking God some questions.
Shortly after that two pretty girls caught his attention.
They all began to talk and the young ladies kindly began to minister to him.
He took it as a confirmation from the Lord about his doubts but he knew God understood how to get his attention.
He started walking closer to God after that.
Let's be real we click her videos because she's well put together.😊😊😊.
I click because she is well spoken and brings knowledge also aside from her looks. I have clicked on females video based on appearance but was like bye as soon as they spoke. For me the whole package is important. I appreciate a wise person that shares the same values as me.
The moment I stopped caring how the world viewed me is when I've found not only inner peace but also a profound level of freedom, it's a liberating feeling, I feel and look my best I feel beautiful 🌺
"Good looks are a global currency" lmfao! This quote has me gagged. Pewiod💅
I honestly would feel bad for no reason for taking care of myself, like im vain or a bad person just because i like to look and feel nice
That’s not from God sis. The enemy wants us to have low self esteem and not take care of the temple(our bodies) so that we walk around gloomy not drawing anyone to the kingdom. God created beauty, just take a look at the evidence. All the varieties of flowers, butterflies and birds. He created colors and paint the sky with the sunset. Nature is evidence that He loves beauty “for you are fearfully and wonderfully made” he took pride in making us beautiful. Rebuke those thoughts, stay humble but also take care of the temple 💖💖
Because ppl guilt trip and then deep down we feel guilt but it’s self care and is mandatory for self health!! Ppl are so weird sometimes and intentionally try to mess with y’all inner light 💡.. right ? That’s my feeling .. and i am learning to appreciate myself, after so long I understand the manipulation.
This is SUCH a hard hump to get over 😒
@karinealourdementalgems woww.. God DID create beauty. This is such a great perspective on this topic
I was just telling God this morning presentation is everything and I care about how I look when I’m putting his word out and doing his kingdom business and to please give me a blessing so I can handle his business accordingly and look well while doing so ❤
God answers prayers! May He bless you abundantly physically and you draw many to Him ❤
Taking care of yourself is essential to honour God's creation the same way we take care of everyone around us. I think the worst advice is to 'Be Humble' since most people say it so we can shrink ourselves because true humility is from within not outside looking humble of looking like a bum. This is an amazing video that needs to be seen by a lot of people
Ladies , Esther and Sarah were gorgeous Ladies, beauty is a blessing cause you are born with ,also enhancing is also self love, GOD wants us to look good and health..another precious gem Lady K..thank you
I love how you use Bible references when you make these videos. It helps me & those like me who are trying to walk with God more closely.
Amen, sister. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
We need to take care of ourselves but not go into obsession about it.💋
28:56 “children makers” 🤣
😅😅 gotta keep it PG
😂😂😂😂
I believe this wholeheartedly especially in this era of influencers
Pretty Privilege is a real thing. A lot of people found me very attractive, when I had a slimmer physique and. I’m trying to get with the program.
Beauty is not only not sinful one day it just might save your life. When Er dr’s and nurses were surveyed it turns out they spend more time working on and reviving patients who are attractive!
This 🗣️🗣️🗣️ it’s unfortunate that it has to be this way but it’s the reality. People are more patient and kind to people who present themselves well.
Wow..thats deep.
Yes, present yourself well because when I run around doing errands looking like a hobo, people don’t even want to look at me lol. But when I do my hair, makeup and look casual chic, they smile, say hello, etc. It’s so true.
@@curlyb4c95exactly! People treat you how you present yourself.
Daaamn that's messed up tragic
You’re correct!
Your aesthetic makes me more interested in your message.
Yess it’s so real that u posted this I was feeling like the title of the video cuz I have been going through a deliverance 😭🙏🏽🎀nd last night went shopping got a cute comfy soft girl outfit did my hygiene routine ,added some bracelets to the look and lip gloss looking nice for the first time in a whiiiiile I have been in a spiritual transformation and realized how important it is to also remember it okay to wear cute /beautiful /sexy but demure outfits
A lot of good christian men struggle to attract women because of presentation and how they dress, its a phenomenon I've noticed in my country South Africa. This video is valuable information
Speak the things SIS!
lol “you don’t want to fight her she ain’t got nothing to lose” hilarious!!!
I love your videos. This is 🔥🔥🔥
Watched this while doing my skincare routine. 😇💕
Modesty is not just how many inches long your skirt is. It’s doing anything that says “look at me”, excessively drawing attention to your physical appearance/mannerisms. A few examples: tight clothing that shows off your shape (even if it’s long), heavy makeup, glamorous hairstyles, taking a lot of photos of yourself, etc… we will all have different convictions about these things but the Bible says that modesty draws attention to your inner beauty, not what’s on the outside. Ask yourself if you could share the Gospel in what you’re wearing. Ask yourself, truly, if it conveys the right message.
Which Bible verse is that? Thanks in advanced
Thanks for this Karine 🤧😮💨
You’re so welcome Angel! Thank you for watching 🤍🤍
It’s shocking how Magnetic Aura on Borlest isn’t being discussed. The book is full of life-changing insights, yet no one seems to notice. Time to break the trance and read it yourself!
Beauty is a power that is shit down by the envious....she's right I know beauty is close to god energy....it is a feeling of pureness and high vibration...true beauty not FAKE.
This is an EXCELLENT video. Until humans become more enlightened, we will judge by appearances first.
If someone isn’t a “classic beauty” or just “regular and average”, the trick is to enhance the best features and hide the worst features. A good example of this is Sandra Bernhard. She was considered a “sex symbol”, but she didn’t have an attractive face. Why? She counterbalanced her less-than-ideal facial looks with a stunningly perfect figure that men found EXTREMELY attractive. If you see the candid shots of celebrities without makeup, the majority of these celebrities are average joes or plain janes. They know how to use makeup, hair, and clothing to make them look beautiful.
I compare it to fruit. Unless someone knows this, fruit is at its sweetest when it is slightly overripe, and when the fruit is slightly overripe, it doesn’t look the best. That fruit gets marked down or thrown out. The fruit that people buy is the most colorful, the shiniest, and the brightest - even if it’s not at its peak ripeness or ideal taste.
I thinned out, got a therapist, went to a dermatologist,...found my nail, eyebrow and hair lady. I never cared for about my looks more than I have now. I never thought to look at looks because my personality carried me for a while. What I learned as well is that when you work on your inner world, it also benefits your outward appearance. People will just want to be around you because your attractive. Men and women. Also ladies be mindful as she mentioned the puffy face. When your gaining/losing and in the gym, pay attention to how it impacts your facial features. I was at my peak 135, curvy as well. However, my face was so fat and I ended up dropping wait and my face thinned, still had a lil booty but my figure still looked good in clothes. Everybody is not supposed to be BBL bodies. Change your figure off of what looks and feels good to you. The old money aesthetic is my favorite because I went to a high school that wore uniform. I love uniformity and it requires less thinking. I am an intern, student and worker. I 100% agree with this
Our bodies are the temple of God. Yes we should take good care of ourselves.
Thank you for this video, I needed it ❤
When Saul and David were chosen to be kings ,one of the emphasised desired characteristic they had in common was how handsome they both were.
I feel exactly the same about enhancing your beauty though dental work, facials, nail upgrades and exercise and NO to plastic surgery (unless it is to correct a genetic defect or injury) and NO fillers!
Why do you see one as acceptable and not the other ?
Asking for myself :)
@@elisehill3574 I feel that people should honor the way their natural beauty is, and enhance it in ways that don't alter or falsify the foundation of their appearance.
I think the last 3 dates I’ve been on, the man shows up in sweats. These “take me as I am men” are an Instant turn off…
Beauty is a blessing! Love your work, Karine. Thank you for always being completely honest.
Beautiful Energy a.k.a healthy mental health beats physical beauty all the time.
I agree, Karine. I battle depression and I know when I’m getting depressed when I stop caring about my appearance. I know that I’m sinking further the worse it gets. How you keep yourself and your surroundings matter to God and it shows how much you value the fearfully and wonderfully made being He made. Love this. 💜
IMO God wants us to feel good about ourselves however, if you’re using your attractiveness for evil, or it becomes an obsession for you, I don’t believe he will be too happy with you.
Getting to the part where the gentleman was doing the ladies hair and seeing their reactions was priceless. We all have a beauty about ourselves that god gives us and bringing it into the world can be a truly empowering thing.
hey, Karine. Can you do a video about what ways Christian young women can have fun? There's a lot of folks out there who felt bored with their christian life and some religious folks ain't helping.
First impressions are everything and less is more ❤
I knew of this at a younger age because the woman in my family were raised to dress well because as African Americans we had to look the part to get the "good jobs" or admittance to certain event and even back in the 80 and 90s dressing up to go out to a restaurant was a norm. Nowadays it just depends on the person. Society has changed the norm of what is defined beautifully. I say let's go back to those traditions of stepping up and showing up
Im always excited when I see you’ve dropped a video, but I was extra excited today when I saw you were part of the GGB gang 💟💟✝️
This was a difficult message for me. I’m not the most attractive person in the world, and people have let me know this fact on more than one occasion 🤣🤣🤣🤣, but I think I also played into that idea of just accepting im ugly. I think I like using it as a crutch so when things fail or don’t go my way it’s like oh well we know it’s because of the way you look. So I think glowing up sometimes is scary because I can no longer use the excuse of appearance if things don’t work out.
Mind-blown, this is so profound!
I am elated to see THIS type of encouraging message. It is a gentle reminder to take pride in how we represent ourselves to the “world.” When we look good, we feel good, we do good, we ARE GOOD. I LOVE being uniquely me, without looking like a “template” of someone else. Simple grooming and hygiene is a small act of self-care and self-love. Merci mon amour!🫶🏽
So true about religions telling you what to wear as a women I remember I stopped paining my nails and stopped wearing heels and so many other things just because I was following a religion
I think you are very feminine and mysterious with a soothing voice. I am glad that you realized how women can enjoy their femininity once they overcome their insecurities and come closer to God and their self
Wow wow wow just the end of the video with the women looking so happy wow
Aww those makeovers had me teary ❤
A big Amen to this video! I love the editing, the articles, the Tik Tok bible study of beautiful and the hair transformations clips. First time commenter here. Keep up the great work
This is one of my favorite videos. I really grasped the concepts and want to implement.
sis! the subject matter of your videos are everything
I loved this! Thank you for making this.
This was a beautiful video, pun intended! I feel like I have been called to take care of my templ inside and out! HE got me out here reading labels at the grocery store. 😂 but you are right, we need to take care of the temple he gave us.
Love this. Who else was crying during the hair transformation clips🤍✊🏼🖤all the good vibes. Do you remember the show, what not to wear? That’s what it’s all about. I struggled with whether or not sharing beauty tips was the right thing to focus on. Thanks for the clarity beautiful! Xx, E
Aside from being good at injecting me with anesthesia, I also keep going to my dentist because he's handsome. He's 40 mins away from me by car.
I can't wait to i start to golwing up 26 year old and still can't find my style. Pcos makes hair grow on my face in never felt confident nor never dated and now i it well be hard to lose weight with pcos, stuck at a job that makes me feel masculine and run my skin because of the sun i cant wait to glow up .
My looks are something I’ve shied away from. I do get a lot of compliment but it’s awkward for me. I’m aware of what I look like but I don’t want it to dominate who I am inside so I shy away from it. But I’m gifted with fashion, I say this with all humility but I’m definitely gifted with a great sense of style. I do get a lot of attention from that but it can make me uncomfortable. I guess I’ll start to embrace my gifts, looks, and use it for GOD’S glory.
Yes girl shine away ✨️
God wants you to shine not shrink yourself, all the best
Thank you so much Karine. Perfectly timed. I have been wanting to hear this so badly
Thank you for talking about this.
Great video!
Master class. Time for me to subscribe again.
I don’t mean to be pick apart or hyper focus in on one part of your video, because there is alot of truth in what your saying. But I want us to be cautious and conscious of the fact that there is a lot about our appearance that is out of our control. People walking around with Acne don’t want acne, and I guarantee you they are the most hygienic about their skin vs those that don’t suffer with the condition. Let’s not equate beauty or being “well kept” with superficial beauty standards.
Proverbs 31:30 says “Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.”
Maintenance the body Yah gave you with proudness and put your trust in him, he will take care of the rest.
We are not talking about skin issues,acne eczema,oily skin,dry skin.We are talking about presentation exercise,dress appropriate,be humble,be kind,polite,listen to correction,comb your hair, moisturize your skin
When u do all these things you become way more attractive or beautiful.That was my take away.😊😊😊
Really enjoyed this video! 👍🏻❤️
this format really suits me
Thank you for this video
And, don't forget teeth, feet, hands and ears. It's the details!
We can be beautiful but should be modest, I think that’s the key point ❤ Wearing modest make up and modest clothes, but still feel beautiful. We don’t have to show skin to be beautiful or wear tight jeans or leggings. God bless you ❤
Found you through your other UA-cam channel. Which I love! Your energy through your videos seems classy and lovely. Love that UA-cam started to recommend me this channel too! Curious what other topics you’ll cover. Thanks Karine for your gems 💎🤍!
I’m more focus on my inner self. God only care about how you treat people.
I love this video and message ❤
Hi friend! I was thinking about this topic today on my way to work.
Yes, but we also live in a fallen world, broken eveything.
Lets not forget those that dont concider themselves beautiful, or are not concerned by others pretty.
🙏♥️🙏
Precursor to language as babies is visual categorization.
Always on TIME
Judith is another woman of God in The Bible who was able to use her beauty and physical charms to serve the Will of God!
I don't remember Judith. Which book is she featured in?
Yes! That's why we in Italy beauty is considered talent too. If beautiful you must be even more good and moral that anyone else. And it is from God.
