LETS CHAT! GET READY WITH ME USING COLOURPOP x RBK | MOTHERHOOD, FINDING MYSELF + THINGS ARE BETTER!

- Опубліковано 21 кві 2021
- Hey guys today I am sitting down, playing with my Colourpop x RBK collection and talking to you about motherhood, finding myself again, trying to rediscover new interests (flower gardening, landscaping, interior design, playing guitar, painting etc) and talking to you about my mental health, anxiety and how I am feeling at almost 5 months postpartum. Things are SO MUCH BETTER and also talking to you about not stating absolute statements - things change every single day, emotions are fleeting and even if there is a rough day, knowing that not every single day will be the same. These have all helped me immensely. Lets chat & hang out!

Can we have a video with Zack too and talking about how he is finding being a new parent and new dad and how it’s been for him navigating baby and helping mom through these hard times too? ❤️
I still second this idea
Me too
YES YES YES!
Yes please!!!
yes we need more representation of dadhood. ha is that even a word? i’m not a native english speaker but I have never heard an equivalent of momhood for guys
“He was born who he is, and I just have to meet him where he’s at and try to parent through that.” 🥺❤️
I love this 🥰
WHY IS NOBODY TALKING ABOUT HOW FREAKING GOOD AT PLAYING AND SINGING YOU ARE!?!?!
IK IM LIKE FUCK COLORPOP WE WANT A KRISTI ROCK ALBUM 😂
Did you see her older videos where she sings? There’s a surprise karaoke-birthday party video from a few years back (with Marie and Kat) and one of her brand trip videos where they did a karaoke night too. There were other ones too, I just can’t remember how they were called. On her Instagram you‘ll find saved stories with some of that too. She really has an amazing voice 🥰
I was always told “the days are long but the years are short”. I always thought it was a weird statement but now my kids are older and I realize what it means. It will fly by. One day you’ll blink and he will be nearly grown.
Time is a thief 🥺🥺🥺
My favorite thing to tell any new moms with babies when I see them. “You blink and their adults and gone.” It really seems that fast.
@@christinekilcomons5805 and then you fill your empty nest with dogs or cats lol
This is so true! My daughter turns 1 next month and I feel like she was just a newborn.
Facts facts facts
I love how as we grow we all turn into home depot dads.
I have officially evolved into the crazy plant lady.
Im the crazy cat lady crazy plant lady and ive officially turned into my parents😭😭😭
Why is no one talking about bad ass guitar hero Kristi?!? Love it. Hope you can get back there again.
Right?! I was expecting some soft music and I had to stop what I was doing to make sure it wasn’t an ad. She’s freaking amazing!
I was like...wait....what?
100% right??? I was like 😯😯😯😍😍😍😍
Can we start a petition for colourpop to bring back this collection again 😭😭😭
Some of the items are still available and I have seen them randomly restock the palette a few times since it launched.
This!! Someone stole my pallet and I just want to repurchase it so badly 😭
@@tessanicole.3662 i feeel that! i ordered the entire collection and it got stolen/never showed up and i wasnt able to get another 😭
Ive used my palette like 2x 🥲 I wish I could sell it to someone who wanted it more
Would it be a restock??? I need the palette 😭
As a lady who doesn't ever want kids, I really enjoy your motherhood content. I am very grateful that you are willing to share your experiences, both for other moms who need to see someone else talk about it and to allow me to see where other people's paths go.
@@riannaleeman2624 i think SHE can decide it alone, without your contribution
same
@@riannaleeman2624 Your entitlement is unbelievable. Maybe I would understand if OP said she wants kid and can't have them and you were giving her words of affirmation but she literally said she doesn't want kids. Even if she changes her mind, that's HER decision, stop imposing decisions. Some women change their mind, some women don't and both are happy.
@@riannaleeman2624 That's your belief and I'm not going to tell you that you are wrong because I don't want to fight but you have to be respectful to other people's beliefs and ways of living. If you want to be a mother that's awesome but not every woman wants or can do it, and since that doesn't affect you, then you have to respect their decision.
@@riannaleeman2624 I genuinely do not want children. My husband does not want children. We can maybe manage being a cool auntie and uncle to friends' kids. It's just a different life path. I appreciate people who opt for children and my decision that it isn't for me doesn't mean I don't have mad respect for people who do 💙💚💛
I swear if Kristi decided to start a podcast, I’D LISTEN in a heart beat! So helpful hearing your perspective of motherhood and life in general!!!
Same! I have a 14 and 8 year old and I still just love the way she explains things.
I literally googled to see if she secretly had one. I love listening to anything she has to say!
Wouldn’t it be so interesting listening to her and Zac go back and forth! I’d absolutely love a podcast from them
I second this!!
You waited all these years to be a momma... you talk about it as much as you want as long as you want and as fast as you want!!
Lol love this comment so much!!!
WORD.
Please never feel bad for loving him and speaking of him endlessly. It is actually so healing coming from a family where we weren't spoken about with such honesty and LOVE. So many kids are not loved. We need reminded there are beautiful loving parents out there. It provides so much hope.
You crack me up. I have 4 children. All adults.3 grand kids. I will never forget when my daughter was having problems with my grandson sleeping. They got the most popular sleeping advice. She would say "the book says this .." and "the book says that...". I asked her if the baby had read the book yet.
Being pregnant during that photo shoot made it even better.
Never apologize for talking about your baby. He is literally a miracle baby you didn’t kno you could have. Still so happy for you.
THIS!!!❤❤
Am I orange lol that warmed my heart.
What you learn as a parent is that it doesn't matter what people think and God help anyone that is judging your child.
My son has adhd and ADD really difficult but I got to the point where I told friends and family this is how we are dealing with him you are either on board or you are not apart of our lives.
I have no time for people giving advice about something they know nothing about and I told them flat out I only have short time to raise this child and I will not indulge your stupidity.
I was ruthless but it worked and he has grown into a beautiful man a husband,father,responsible adult no thanks to the judge assholes in his past.
You are the only defender they have and you must be brave and have their back.
You will do this Kristi and it will make you stronger I guarantee it.
I have a suggestion for books Dr.sheftali she was on Oprah.
If your child has adhd Dr.Gabor Mate is the very best even if you have a difficult teen these two authors could help.
@@staceywebb7740 thank you for speaking about your son. My brother was diagnosed with ADD and ADHD. He’s adopted and his mom did meth.
It’s hard. Not just for him but for us too. Feeling like we are doing things wrong wrong.
Sometimes I feel like I’m not a good sister. And I worry about his future.
💯
@@jdlt6273 Don't worry about the future just be available today.
Most children with this condition have terrible anxiety and shame it is relentless,they are always being told what they did wrong and never what they did right.
They must be brave and strong everyday just to do normal stuff,it is exhausting.
Helping your brother know he is loved because he exists not because of his achievements.
Be kind these children so rarely are shown kindness it breaks my heart.
Teach him about emotions help him distinguish between sadness,frustration etc ask him if he needs help,teach him to break up big things into smaller jobs to make it easier for his shorter attention span.
Loving him will pay off and he will thrive.
At every developmental stage - before every single breakthrough, he is going to get super fussy and frustrating. Then he'll be so happy, and then there will be another threshold. It's a flow. So happy you're doing so well.
Every time she asks “Am I orange?” It adds a year to my life.
Also.. talk about what you want. I’m here for you and whatever you want to share my dude. ❤️
I didn't want children until I was 35. I noticed myself growing bored with stuff I previously got hyped for (holidays, trips, rewatching movies I love). I wasn't depressed or anxious; I just realized that I was limited to only seeing the world through my own eyes. Experiencing it through someone else is a way of doing it over for the first time. It's cool that you pointed out this aspect of why people want to become parents.
Same here. I didn’t even consider parenthood until I was 35. I got pregnant at 37 and gave birth at 38. Best decision I ever made!
It’s wonderful to live vicariously through little people lenses! My son cracks me up.
I’m 27. I never wanted kids. I got pregnant at 22 and I swear on my life, the moment I saw that little swimming potato ultrasound my entire being changed. I can’t wait to have another!
this describes me so accurately!!
No one ever talks about this, but it's so true. Having a kid is in some ways like recapturing your own childhood--or for some, really experiencing it for the first time, because their awe and wonder is contagious. You can't help but get excited about everything that has become mundane and commonplace for you by the time you're an adult.
Thanks for writing this :)
There’s a million makeup channels. I’m here for your personality and I’ll watch whatever you put out
Kristi, I don’t know if you’ll ever see this, but I just want you to know what a light you’ve been in my life. My son just turned 3 months today and my experience with birth and motherhood has been so similar to yours... unexpected birth complications resulting in a difficult labor and delivery, postpartum anxiety and depression, etc. Seeing another mom keep it real has reminded me that I’m not alone. It’s so awesome that you’re starting to find yourself and feel better. I’m just starting to as well. You give me so much hope that it really does get better
My daughter was a “miserable” baby. She was either sleeping or crying. The thing that saved my sanity was when my pediatrician told me that very intelligent children are sometimes very frustrated with their baby bodies. They have the intelligence and the desire to do way more than their bodies allow so they are constantly frustrated. In time when they grow and they are able to do more, they feel less frustration.
That makes so much sense! My daughter was the same!!
Wow thats a really interesting pov
Agreed. My son was the same.
does that suggest if your baby is calm, he is not intelligent?
attention, this kind of affirmations are strong! but I understand people seek excuses because it makes feel better
@@Yann-be7lx It has more to do with a baby’s ability to handle frustration rather than a true indication of intelligence. Remember, I didn’t say this, my pediatrician said this. If you have any further questions I could give you his phone number. (But I do know he has since retired.). What he said helped me and I was only attempting to help others. Why do you need to spin it to the negative?
I dispose when people say, “You should stop talking about...” I love when you talk about Alder and your mental health. It’s YOU. That’s why you’re name is RawBeautyKristi. It’s not FakeBeautyKristi. I love your honesty.
yes! this! I hate that ppl are giving you shit about this. gtfoh with that ish. We love anything you wanna talk about girl!
YES!!!!
Gods, I remember seeing a rant post on the beautyguruchatter subreddit about how influencers would have a baby and become mommy/family bloggers and it was soooo terrible and annoying. They used Kristi as a "current example". She had just posted her second pregnancy vlog at the time. It was the most obscenely privileged nonsense I had ever seen from "fans."
@@Kiterpuss ugh, things like this is exactly why I prefer my pugs over 99.9% of ppl. That is just disgusting.
@@chellecopley67 Yeah, the BGC sub is usually a hot mess of entitled nits complaining about anything they can find to criticize, especially towards women, but that was a particularly disgusting thread.
Having a child seems rewarding but honestly I can’t imagine taking care of someone all day, every day. Call me selfish, but I like my free time. Hats off to the people who can do it. I love sleep, free time, money, and working too much!
Did you just say you love money? Yeah dont have kids. Blehh.
“Am I orange?” outtakes still being here gives me all the feels. You’re still YOU and we get to grow with you. That’s amazing. 🖤
It really made me sad when kristi said she already got disturbing DM’s involving her son. I wish we didn’t live in a world like we do. It is very sad she can’t share such a happy and big part of her life right now.
Smol fry Kristi at 10 years old would look up to present Kristi so hard. You’ve accomplished so much in your life and you’re so wise beyond your years. You are no doubt going to be the most badass and wonderful mother on the planet. (Shout out to Zack 2) Lil chicky nugget bebeh is so lucky to have y’all
Agree 100 percent x
That’s soooo true!!!
The lady I babysat for in high school said to my mom once "I just don't get how she can be so patient with my crazy kids!" and my mom was like "uuhh she gets to go home lol"
“I could not love this kid more.” Wait until he looks into your eyes and says I Love You Mommy....you will cry, your heart will melt, and you will love him beyond what you could ever think. (As hard as that is to believe right now)
This is so true...and when they hug u for no reason at all
Good for you for not showing him and protecting him from the creepers out there! Also for not taking away his right to consent to be seen online. Nice job!
I completely agree with the first part of your statement but the second part is a bit misplaced in my opinion. Legally he would and will not be able to consent to be on UA-cam until he is 18... UA-cam is a huge part of this family's life so if at anytime they decide to show content with him in it, it is completely acceptable in my book and opinion!
@@CD-te8lo there's a whole movement against family vlogging. You should check it out. There are inferences to themes of that movement in this video, notably how analytics show some predatory trends. It's not illegal, nor was I insinuating it was. The law takes time to catch up to technology. 👍🏻
she shows him on instagram
Agreed! Anonymity will be a blessing for his generation. So many people just throw everything online without even a thought of their kids in the future.
We have seen him on IG. He's gorgeous
“You cannot use today as a judgement for tomorrow” ✨❤️ #realtruth
More: it phrases it in a way that sinks in
I love that!
BOOM!! I LOVE that ❤️
The best advice I ever got when I was a new parent was to keep in mind “nothing lasts”. If you’re struggling and your kid is being challenging then remembering this phrase can help you have the strength to get through it. On the other hand, if your kid is being a sweet baby angel and can do no wrong, just you better remember that nothing lasts...that kid is gonna be an absolute nightmare again in the flick of a switch! X
It took me a good two years of being a mom to finally be able to mentally remove myself from my daughter. Even when I wasn’t with her, I was constantly thinking of her. Now I have more capacity to engage in life outside of her. What a sweet and precious time that first year is. 🤍
"You need to do Cirque de Soleil for me right now or I'ma fucking loose my shit" hahaha that made me laugh
I have one of those. He walked at nine months and ran at nine-and-a-half. Still hyper at 25.
Me too 😂
Yup all 7 of my kids I so felt that one . I started having kids before Google or maybe I just didn't have access lol circa 2004 all the way up to now .
Nope this is the last thing: KRISTI RIPPING THAT GUITAR ARE YOU KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW?!?!! bad ass I love you so much wow
Just when we thought Kristi couldn't get any better, she shows us that clip. WOW Kristi x
Lmao for real ok rock star hahaha I used to be like that too. \m/
@@krisd6811 that’s so cool. I tried guitar....my fingertips went numb for 2 weeks straight and I thought I gave myself nerve damage (I’m a slightly paranoid person) lol so I stopped.
Look I found you because of makeup. But I followed you for you. Your ups, your downs, your anxiety, your joy...to me it makes you even more real. I’m a mom of three and when youtubers who are also mamas post and never mention the lows that hella triggers my mom guilt. But real content as you are makes me super happy ☺️
Early days of motherhood, a mom friend said to me, “I try to remind myself that everything is a season.” I come back to that so often. ❤️ you’re doing a good job
Honestly if you want to do like 20 looks with this palette, I wouldn't be mad.
I remember saying “My kid will never have a tantrum in public.” 🤣🤣🤣 I ate those words!
Hahaha me too! I literally wrote them on the THICKEST, STIFFEST poster board, poured some milk over it & gobbled it right up.
I swear I was the queen of “I would never” before I had my son. I like to say I was the perfect parent before I became a parent. NEVER say never!
I feel the universe writes that shit down and waits to slap us in the face with it... 🤣
Mine stopped when I laid down in the grocery store and had one with her. Apparently children get embarrassed quite easily.🤣 It worked though.
Same
I recently discovered you through a YT suggestion and watched you for the first time with your birth story. Since then I've been hooked. You are a breath of fresh air on the internet and part of my weekly antidepressant YT therapy. I enjoy your sincere honesty and I am also a new mama and you make me feel less alone.
I really, REALLY needed to hear this. My daughter was such a happy baby, she’ll be 2 in June and I’ve been at my wits end with her. I literally sobbed to my husband last night saying I’m so overwhelmed with her. She’s so whiny, and screams when she’s mad, and she’s mad a lot. She can’t voice to me what’s wrong yet and it’s making me worry about something being wrong with her. I felt so bad admitting that my son (who’s almost 9 years older) made me happy and excited to be a mom when he was her age, and she makes me not like it sometimes. They’re just so different and my son was literally the epitome of what you would want as a baby and toddler to even now. He kind of caused me to have rose colored glasses when it came to what being a mom looks like. I don’t want to compare them, but it’s hard not to when they’re polar opposites. It’s not bad all the time, and I know that, I just have to get through it. I’m so glad you gave me that reminder...this time, these bad moments, my hurt feelings are fleeting and it will get better. That’s why I love ya♥️
Girl talk about WHATEVER YOU WANT you just created an incredible adorable little human, it’s an intense experience and of COURSE you want to talk about it!
Something I learned in my developmental psych class is that infants don’t start forming episodic memories until they are 3 years old. So, if you make little mistakes they won’t remember it. Hope this helps!
I absolutely have memories before age 3. One of them I remember wearing Cabbage Patch diapers as well as the exact placement of the changing table at my grandfather’s old house that they had moved out of by the time I was three. My mom has confirmed all of the details so while rare maybe, it is definitely possible to have memories before age 3!
Sara Dorman she’s talking about episodic memories which refers to events or experiences.
@@saradorman7377 So what you're referring to are called semantic memories; memories of general information and facts. Episodic memory refers to memories of specific events; remembering where you were during 9/11, recalling that one time your dog spilled soda all over your mom, remembering how your family packed into the car and drove to another state because of a natural disaster, etc., are all episodic memories. Most of our explicit memories are semantic, and semantic are also more likely to be accurate than episodic.
@@qutierrezX0 Curious as to what constitutes an experience then? I also have memories of a specific afternoon getting a piggyback ride from my godmother who died before I was three (I knew the exact room we were in and what it looked like at the time) and another incident with bees coming down our chimney.
@@Kiterpuss Would the bee incident count as episodic or semantic? This is all very interesting, thanks for the info!
I'm 29 and not maternal at all but I've always had this feeling in the back of my mind that I'd like to adopt later in life. I would want to be completely financially stable enough to be able to provide them with a life that I could only ever dream of, not materialistically, but that I'm present and not having to work 24/7. I have very little memory of my parents being there in my childhood and I'd hate to do that to my own kids. With that said, I'm currently in debt, in between jobs and have an overwhelming urge to leave everything behind and go travel the world... so we'll see what happens lol
You just spoke my truth. My husband and I did just that. We traveled and lived our best life and worked and saved and then, I retired and we adopted. I’m a stay-at-home mom and loving every minute of it. We’re older parents, yes, but we are present for every step and stage of his life. And we have more experience and seem better able to handle the stress. And now, we really are living our best life!
I love you so much. You’re such an amazing human being and I look up to you so much. I thank you for being such a genuine person and kind of “normalizing” the harder side that comes with motherhood. I’m pregnant with my 3rd and I’m already having a harder time with anxiety and depression. Thank you love❤️❤️
I came for the makeup (a few years ago) and stayed for your personality and love seeing all the changes in your life. Knowing you suffer from occasional depression and hearing you take joy in bees and flowers and (obviously) baby smiles, is so hopeful. Your life seems to reflect all the colors of your pallet. Natural and bright and deep all in one.
Well said...couldn't agree more!
🙌🏻🙌🏻 couldn’t have said it better
So well said!
What she said!!
Love the expression “I was the best parent, until I had a child” hahahaha.
I'm not a mom but I was a cat mom. The cat was put to sleep today and I wasn't able to say goodbye to him and you just saying that it gets better with time really resonated with me because losing him today has been really difficult.
Sorry about your kitty friend
I’m so sorry hun 😔💕
It will get better...nevertheless, I'm sad when anyone has to go through something like that. I'm so sorry for your loss and especially not being able to say goodbye. Wishing you strength and positivity!
Same thing happened to me in 2012. It wasn't terribly long when memories changed to only playing with mine and how she purred, etc, and not around the day she passed. God bless.
I'm so sorry to hear of your loss❤❤
Kristi thank you SO much. I started watching you for your makeup videos, then I got pregnant a month or so after you did, and following in your footsteps and hearing about your pregnancy experience has made me feel so much less alone. I so feel EVERYTHING you have said about motherhood and post partum...thank you for being so candid and frank and honest. You’re amazing. :)
My son was the most angry infant. Once he was more mobile he was a much more happy boy. Now that he is 4 is literally the most adventurous happy kid. It truly gets better and better. 💙
Gurl. My son was the same way! 6 mos cried all day and night! I never thought it would end! At 15 mos he was easy peasy all the way to adulthood. I guess I paid my dues early on?
My niece was the same. I used to say she just hates being a baby because she wanted to do all these things and be in control hat her body didn’t let her do yet. Since being able to walk and talk she has been happy. Her twin brother was the opposite. Just totally chill.
Same here! My son screamed non stop and never slept as a baby, at 3months I realized that I would probably survive, at 6 months I started to see the light, and at 8/10 months as he became mobile and learned signs he became such a happy boy!
My son was so, so, so grumpy the first 8ish months. And then he learned how to get around and suddenly the world was amazing to him. We had a tricky patch in his toddler years, but he is 14 now and just an incredible human being.
@@katherinegarvelink4863 signs are such a great tool for kids! My spouse and I are planning on learning sign specifically for this.
It's called growing up. At some point in life you realize that you didn't know everything and all those small things you sweated about were so insignificant. It's weird... at that moment you find yourself more open to growth as a person than anytime before. It's such a wonderful time in one's life.
I loved Kristi’s hair blonde, but gahdamn is her brown hair beautiful. It’s got so much dimension and it really brings out the forest green color of her eyes. It suits her so nicely.
I love how your "most basic eye looks ever" are still like the most beautiful creative looks for me. Three eyeshadows in one look! Gurl you creative.
Bahaha there is still 16-18 hours left in the say yessss you don’t get a break once you become a parent. You’re so awesome
Lol, nope... not even if a family member has him for the day!😂
So true
Best part
You're right Kimberly Whisk! 😂😂
Kimberly Whisk in with the solid truth! After 4 kids, you definitely know. I'm done after this second one is born!
I knew you were cool but then you jammed out on the guitar and now you’re officially the coolest.
Seriously 🤘🏻
Kristi, you and I got pregnant and had babies within basically a month of each other. I was struggling so hard with being pregnant, the prospect of being a mom and how much my life would change. And then my birth was traumatic and the first few months were so so hard. Your story and everything you have shared has helped me so much. I am grateful.
You’re possibly the only content creator that doesn’t annoy me when talking about their baby. I’m so happy for you and your family and I wish the best for the three of you! And your cats, can’t forget about the cats.
I don’t get why people want to dictate what your content is. If they want just makeup there are a trillion zillion channels with just makeup. Hopefully those people will get weeded out, most of us are here for YOU and whatever content you bring us. ❤️
Kristi let me tell you this...you know how to put a palette together! The shades you chose & the way they were arranged plus the artwork = PERFECTION
Oh my gosh this is such a lovely compliment I worked so hard on it, thank you!!!
@@RawBeautyKristi Agree with her. I emailed colourpop asking them to bring it back cause i wasnt able to get it yet😂💕
@@nikiichan OMG I keep commenting on all of their posts asking for a palette restock.... and keep signing up for emails. I hate that I missed it. I wonder if they will restock...
It's such an amazing collection. Those super shocks are the shit. All if it is. Just wish it had a blush or two. But I use the pallet so much.
@@RawBeautyKristiYou seeing my comment & replying means so much to me. You & your content have kept me company & gotten me through some very rough days & nights, I also live with chronic pain. Thank you Kristi from the bottom of my heart. 💚
I have a high-maintenance baby myself and I found things were getting easier around 6-7 months and much more FUN (yes, parents are allowed to say that) around 9-11 months. Just before they turn 1 they come into their own little personalities and even though it's still a lot of work, you can start to have these amazing moments of interaction that are beyond just needs. Things get better, they really do.
I love watching your progression and your confidence in being a new mother come through! You’re so inspiring and I absolutely love your honesty.
You have a gift for being so transparent, honest and giving of yourself. You are able to articulate your emotions and truly communicate a feeling. I hope you realize how much you help others in sharing. It’s an amazing quality. You need to know.

Amazingly said ❤️
He’s excited to be independent, what a true Sagittarius
Exactly my thoughts when she was saying that
my first thought exactly
😂😂😂
Congrats on progression on your mental health. I can really see how hard you’ve worked and you should be so proud of yourself. You’re doing amazing, just keep doing what you’re doing. Being open and learning. He’s got a great mom
one of the reasons I love watching Bailey Sarian is because she is not "pushing makeup". There is something so therapeutic about watching people do makeup and chat about something that has nothing to do with the products at all. Anyone who would like to watch a youtuber talk makeup can find literally thousands of them. I appreciate just being part of the small world you allow us to be in. Thank you for being real and just being authentic to who you have always been
My 9 month old had cream cheese on his face this morning... I didn’t have anything to wipe it with. I had my sleeve but I was like no I just put this shirt on. I licked the cream cheese off his face. NEVER would have thought I’d do that.
.....motherhood. 🤷🏼♀️
Lmaoooo
Been there 😂
I used to eat the food that my kids had in their mouths cause they’d offer to share!!! LOL!!! Yup, that’s the “perks” of being a mommy!!! 😝😂😂🥰🥰
You do a lot of questionable things as a mom without thinking
“This feeling isn’t forever.”
That’s the only thing I can hang onto to help me manage my anxiety. Keep going, sis.
Absolutely me too! ❤️
I love how much you're loving motherhood, and how honest you are about everything. Your wee boy is a lucky kid having you two as parents.
I’m a mom of 6 and some days it’s easy some days it’s horrible and hard some pregnancies are easy some were hard . Everyday is definitely different . Every child is different but being a mother is the best thing ever . I’m so glad you have been so honest 👏
"Dude we were listening to Boot Scootin Boogie the other night...and I was boogyin'" 🤣 I cracked up
Raw badass Kristi! That high school clip?! You're a woman of many talents. Left me with my jaw on the floor.
I honestly didn’t start watching you until a few months ago, but you have quickly become one of my favorite people to watch. If it’s not one of your 40min sit down talking videos than I’m not watching it. I AM HERE FOR THE LONG LIFE TALKS AND MAKEUP!! We love you Kristi!
Just wanted to throw out there that I also was so sad your collab didn’t get more of a moment! It’s my absolute FAVORITE eye shadow pallet and I use it every day 💛
My daughter came out screaming and only stopped as she gained mobility. Walked at 8 months old. She was a wild toddler. And now she is 7 and she is the sweetest, most well-behaved little human in the world. She’s so sensitive to other people’s feelings and kind.
Still have a lot of energy though. What 7 year old doesn’t. Lol
I’m 100% here for Kristi becoming a full on homestead/mommy UA-camr and whatever other kind of youtuber each season of life she chooses to be. Love your happiness babe 😚♥️
I am loving your motherhood content! It’s so honest and makes me feel so much better about my experience of motherhood. Everyone gives the sunshine and flowers stories and when you are finding days HARD it can make you feel like shit. I’ve actually pointed my best friend in the direction of these videos as she is a new mum and struggling and they have really helped her. Thank you for being so open and honest ❤️
You’re spot on! Life doesn’t just change because you’re now responsible for another life. Something about becoming a parent just makes you realize how fragile and beautiful life is and makes you excited to take part in it and show it all to your kids. It’s crazy how your mindset changes about so much!!
I so feel you on the not finding anything about our kids gross. I have THE WORST gag reflex and yet I’ve literally caught my child’s throw up in my hands bc we were out in public and that was just my instinct 😂😂 Being a mother is the weirdest lol
I’m the same! If a friend’s kid throws up I will be hard pressed to not also vomit. But my own kids have thrown up on me multiple times and it’s not even a second thought 😂
I have a fear that when I have kids this will not be the case for me cause it was not for my mom 😬 I threw up in my room once and she came in and just immediately threw up too
I know this is nasty AF, but when my son was a toddler he was just so congested. Miserable, couldn't sleep, just so uncomfortable. Clogged with snot. No Baby Frida back then. We were sitting in the hot shower trying to loosen everything up. I took a damp washcloth and put it over his nose and literally sucked the snot out(using the rag so no boogers would go in my mouth). I remember being like, I should be sooo grossed out right now. But all that mattered was making him feel better.
Mom of 7 here and not even that cured my gag reflex . Vomit well let's just say I'm a sympathy vomiter lol I can still be a kick ass parent and still have things gross me out . People use to say you must suck as a parent to be grossed out by their body functions but I learned to not let that get to me because I have kept 7 humans alive well fed ,clothed , and sheltered not many can do that with that number of kids so I try to find the positives of the things I do and can do vs the one flaw I have. Everyone with kids will be pushed to their limit but I know I'll never catch my kids or anyone's kids vomit in my hands just nope cant do it so I make up for that in other ways lol .
“Most basic makeup ever”
That’s my lane. That’s the jam.
My oldest was SO fussy, always wanted to be held, but not out of comfort - you had to hold him facing out so he could see. Things were SLIGHTLY better when he could sit on his own. He never crawled at all. Went directly to pulling himself up and cruising. The moment he could do that, it was like a switch went on. He was happy & smiling all the time. It was like he had been so frustrated by his limitations for the first several months, but once he could move around without help from us, he was a different child 💜💜💜
"don't sit and bask in the feelings you have, everything is fleeting" OMG YES YES YES! It is so easy to do exactly that, sink into your feelings, swim around in them as opposed to keeping them at arm's length to observe and let go. Great advice not just for parenting but for life Kristi.
PS I missed your Pur Collab so had to get your colour pop Collab, just to support you ❤️🙏💕
My mantra when my twins were in their first year: "Your best moments are a product of your worst moments." You truly can't have one without the other. So happy you're feeling better!
When I tell you that basic things in life are SO MUCH FUN with a child, I am not joking! Holidays, going to the zoo, traveling, etc. I literally love being a mom and I never wanted kids before I had one. ☺️
Totally agree! Babies are BORING but once they reach 6+ month they become so much fun and going out goes from being daunting to being so exciting.
Yes yes yes! My son is almost 2 and it's been soooo much fun taking him to the park or the zoo or even Target because he's so amazed by everything!
Agree completely! It’s so different when u have kids, in the most wonderful way. I had my daughter at 21 so she graduates high school this year and I’m only 39. It’s bittersweet for me for sure. Treasure every moment bc it goes by way to fast.
My daughter is almost 8 and she is so fun. And funny. Good lord she's a hoot. Watching her see things is absolutely amazing.
Yes! My son is 10 now.
Hard yes to motherhood and postpartum content! I found your channel when I was newly pregnant and i was recommended your announcement video. I’ve watched every upload since. Your postpartum videos have truly been healing for me. To hear your experience, feel validated in my own and see hope in the process has been amazing. Every mommy night I get (2-3 hours a week) your videos are the highlight along with a glass of wine.
Thank you!🙏🏽
Keep it coming sister. We need it.
I can confirm, ABSOLUTELY! My daughter was so frustrated with her body. Once she could roll, there was such a difference in her. The more he can do, the happier your son will be. 🙂
One thing I was told after I had my oldest was that babies, like adults, feed off of our energy. When we’re anxious, they cry, then we get more anxious, and it’s a vicious cycle. When we’re chill and happy, they feel that, too, and will relax as well. In the moment, that is such an impossibility- but it’s so true! As I added children to our family, it got easier. I trusted myself more, I realized my own strengths and weaknesses... growing a family is a beautiful thing, and teaches us so much.
I adore this comment.... this is so very true and good to remember-on my 4th baby right now and this is exactly my approach. ✌️✌️ Kids follow our lead, especially with our attitude.
@@truthfulnice good luck!!! My 4th was my easiest addition! 9 years later, and she is still my best, most laid back kid 😍
I know you're probably not going to see this comment, but here goes. I had a baby 3 weeks before you, and in following your journey I have never related to someone on this level in my life before... your videos have saved me. Saved me from the craziness that is motherhood, the "hard" that is so truly different from anything else I've ever experienced, and I truly can't thank you enough for being so open about motherhood. I have always loved you and have been watching for YEARS. Years... and am so thankful for you
Omg thank you. You explained motherhood perfectly for first time moms. My son is 18 months and still dealing with constant challenges yet the happiest moments of my life. Thanks for keeping it real💗
The “Am I orange?” is back and it’s literally my favorite way to end your videos. I’m so sure you hate it and it’s the bane of your existence but truly, it really is so great. 🤣🙌🏻
Yeah i hope she never buys a new camera or I will miss the "am i orange" bloopers 😂
@@mjsoila Exactly! They will be SO missed! 😩
It makes me so sad that theirs people who make you feel like you can’t post your son. It’s so uncomfortable & strange to think people have anything bad to say about a sweet baby or a new momma. Regardless you’re doing amazing !
Before I got pregnant via IVF, I was targeted for severe internet bullying, and when I got pregnant, the things people said were truly horrific. That was over a decade ago, and to this day, I still encounter people who remember it and know who I am. It sucks that my daughter has to be aware of it and know that there are people who wished death on her so that she doesn’t find out by encountering it online first.
I'm so glad you mentioned enjoying holidays again. That's honestly my favorite part of parenthood right now. I love that all the magic has come back into my life because its my job to create it for her :')
I am the mom that will take the 2 year old meltdown over the baby screams and sleepless nights....the first 3 months are not great for me but with both my girls they turned 4 months and a flip switched and they were wonderful.
Baby two was in most ways so much easier bc I was more confident. I knew she could cry for a second without me rushing to her and she would be okay....something I never let my first do. You are a wonderful momma Kristi and I adore this kind of content. Mom life is so tough and so amazing and most people tend to sugar coat it and make us momma’s that aren’t always rainbows and butterflies feel better about their journey ❤️❤️
Hey Kristi you just generally help me with my anxiety, and my makeup. “Feelings are fleeting” that doesn’t just apply to motherhood. NEW MANTRA HOLLA!!!
A huge lie was told in this video. “I don’t look great” IT’S NOT TRUE, YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL MA’AM
I love hearing you talk about motherhood. It makes me appreciate my mother and life itself even more than I previously did. Thank you!
I love that you make us, the viewers, feel like we are just having a pep talk. Being able to hear your honest stories is genuinely so amazing. Love you so much! Love from South Africa
8:14 “you need to do cirque du Soleil right now or I’m gonna lose my shit” *I AM SCREEEEAMKNG LSMDBS*
You've got allllll the fucking time in the world to play with makeup. I'm glad you're living in the moment & choosing to share with us what you're passionate about RIGHT NOW. I will ALWAYS be here to soak it all up because you're just so precious. 🤍 Truly a one of a kind lady.
“You can’t use today as a judgement for tomorrow” is great advice for anyone esp those struggling with emotional issues. Thanks for that. Appreciate you sharing your story. Loved this video. ❤️
Kristi I LOVE that you share mom shifts. Being a parent can be so challenging and I’ve been loving that you hold space for us moms too ❤️
Just this, from a mom of 4 under 6- you will NEVER be prepared for any part of motherhood. It DOES change every day. Also, loved “where did that baby from yesterday go?” Hahaha
My toddler is literally the “don’t touch it!” *smiles and touches it anyway* kid 😂
Mine too... it's so fun. Lol
@@Suzecp320 mine too. My son get joy from pushing me to the brink of losing my shit
Yes this. I was also crazy enough to have a second baby so when i get busy with the baby, my toddler is literally running amuk.
My son is 16 months old and we’re going through this right now.... send coffee and wine pls
Same. And when I try to redirect him, he will stand there, look away, slowly look back to see off I'm watching, and then slowly reach out and try to touch whatever it us again while making eye contact! Little stinker. 🤣
