I live in Poland, and I really don't need anyone to tell me what to think, we are close enough here. What I need to know is that there are still people who choose to be happy somewhere in the world and spring to be enjoyed for everyone. So thank you very much for what you said in the end.
I'm one of those who skipped to the end of this video. I'm not so much interested in beauty/fashion, and since I read mostly fiction and you read non-fiction... what I'm interested in and impressed by is your wisdom. Anyone who has followed you and your family and menagerie for any length of time knows that you are filled with kindness and love which are expressed in a multitude of ways. You're an old soul, Angie, and that's the greatest compliment I can give.
Enough sadness, I choose to follow influencers that don’t bring more attention to what already brings me sadness ,Thank you SO MUCH for being you and not a newscaster ♥️
I very much appreciate your insight on what’s going on in the world…. And the fact that you choose to bring Joy and happiness to your platforms. Sometimes I think to many people try to “convince” followers on how and what to think. The fact that you addressed that the world is messy and you try to talk positively and look at the Joy in life is one of the many reasons why I follow you. So thank you for your words and perspective and thank you for showing that you can have a heavy heart and still have happiness. 🧡God bless you, your family and farm.
And this is why we live you. Thank you for bring light and joy into our day!! I come to you especially for that and you don’t need to tell me that the news affects you. With your big heart of course it does. Thank you for what you do.
I appreciate how you defined your boundary of what you will provide and what is not your lane. Staying true to your vision for your channel and being authentic. Being emotionally hijacked my social media is exhausting. I watch your videos because they spark joy, learning, and insight…with both the ups and downs going on in your life. Thank you for all the work you do to make videos and post regularly.
Thank you Angela! I come to your videos to relax, get excited in the joy of your family, and to get away from the news from around the world! I'm 66 years old, have been battling cancer the past two years, have a 73 year old husband who has health issues--your channel takes me away from all of that for a little while. We share similar passions. I live on a farm, retired now. At one time, we farmed 400 acres. We have had cows, sheep, burros, goats, llamas, Great Pyrenees dog, many other dogs and cats. We now have only one dog and numerous cats. I was blessed with a son & daughter of my own and my husband had a ten year old daughter when we married who passed away in 2006. Our daughters gave us three handsome grandsons (ages 21, 22 & 23) & our son waited until almost age 40 to wed and give us three beautiful granddaughters (ages 7, 2 & 5 months). I'm wanting to get chickens for our little retirement ten acres. I think I could handle that. I love to read, draw, paint and redecorate my home, while my husband works on his hobby of old cars&trucks in his shop.
Love watching both of your channels because you’re real. I don’t feel like I’m watching some rehearsed and staged “performance”. You have lifted me up and helped me feel “normal” in so many ways. Angie and CR are names that are spoke about on a regular basis in our home, my husband has never watched a video, but he knows who you are-he politely listens as I give him play by plays from the videos or when I practically read your book to him 🤣 Thank you for your tidbit at the end, your videos are a ray of sunshine in the midst of all the things we can’t control and I truly appreciate you!
I really appreciate your stance on influencers sharing news and stuff. I've had to unfollow a lot of people that post constantly about certain things, and not even because I disagree with their takes or anything, it's just that, that's not why I'm following anyone on social media. I follow people that make me laugh, or bring me joy, or because I love seeing how they live their lives. I don't want to follow anyone where I'm expecting relatively light content, and then all the time getting triggered or angry or devastated by stuff they post. I go other places for all that stuff when I'm in the head space to learn about it. I don't want it constantly shoved down my throat, it feels very unhealthy.
I so appreciate your wisdom about how you choose to relate with world issues. It’s so refreshing the way you set boundaries in this space and I hope it empowers others to know that they can be successful without waving every flag… thank you!
Thank you for your honesty and speaking out about not using your platform to speak out about things you do not feel you are well versed in! In this day and age of social media, it seems that everyone feels the need to spout off about everything that crosses their mind without knowing the background of a situation! I enjoy watching your updates about your family and the farm, and favorites too.
First of all I loved your acknowledgment early on about the how some of this seems frivolous because there is almost a sense of guilt you get watching some of this stuff when you know people are suffering. Second I completely agree about influencers talking about stuff they know nothing about. I think most people (including myself) know very little about the history and context of what’s happening right now. Third thanks for staying true to what you’ve decided to share. There is pressure to virtue signal but you are standing firm and I think that is great. Honestly I would never watch a channel about a hobby farm but I started watching you when you did more homeschool content and I just like to check in sometimes. Especially your favorite videos are always great. The way you live your life shows you care about what happens to people all around the world. I hope you continue to be a bright joyful haven on the Internet.
I can find happiness and positive thoughts here and when I’m looking for news or current affairs I look to other places. I know my heart is broken for the world and I can pray and be as good a person as I can be that is the way I personally deal with this sad time.
You are a wise woman Angie.I appreciate that you don’t burden the hearts of your subscribers with the terrible pain and suffering that is everywhere in the world.I often turn off the news channels because it becomes unbearable.I feel very guilty for this.your channel is wholesome beautiful and a perfect soft place to fall.❤️
There is no doubt your style and the things that bring you joy are beautiful. The price point is hard to justify buying them, and that's just me. The updates of your project are more important. Thank you for giving us all something to distract us from the news, sharing your joy and your taste. :D
Before the end of this of thus video I thought that I could not possibly love and respect you more. I was wrong. I am so glad I follow you. I started following you because my heart crawled out of my chest and tried to email itself to meet Rosie. Seeing Rosie blossom and grow is such a gift to me. I have stayed for a million reason yet I will always feel like I am surrounded by all that is good in the world when Rosie smiles.
I love your channel so much and I love being able to come here and just enjoy and take part in whatever snippet of your life you choose to share with us. I have so much respect for how you choose to run your business and it’s just so refreshing to come to a place and talk about make up and books in the midst of all the other things going on in life.
I really appreciate that you aren't using your channel to express your opinions on what's going on in the world. I watch these sorts of videos to get away from all of the stuff that's going on in the world and honestly I'm rather tired of hearing how everyone feels and thinks about what's going on in the world.
Yes, I actually do want to see you talk about headbands for 10 minutes 🤗 I am the same way. I have recently developed an addiction to them. I wore the same one almost every day for a year until it broke. Now I have been on the hunt for a good replacement. I have a big head and very thick hair, so certain ones won't stay, but then some are too tight. I recently picked up a few from the Lele Sadoughi brand! She specializes in headbands, and they are so beautiful and very comfortable!
the realness of when you got interrupted, oh man idk why that brought me to tears but it did. Im so sorry for the loss of your bird and the struggle with the chicken door. Keep up the great work. Prayers for y'all
Watched till the end. This small toen girl on the other end of the world has absolutely no way to access your favourites, but loves listening to your positivity about life in general and making the everyday beautiful. Keep it up ♡
I love both of your channels and all of your videos! Been following you for a few years now. Your such a down to earth relatable person! Being that I am a homeschooling mom of 4. Its just such an encouragement for Moms. Love your sense of humor! Always can get a good laugh out of cheesy sarcasm 😁. Thank you so much for such good content! Thank you so much for being such an inspiration! 😊
Hi Angie, I love your channel and I'm grateful for the joy that it brings. I really respect your views about keeping your thoughts and opinions about work events private and I 100% agree that it is not necessary for every influencer to have to give their opinion in every event that happens, in fact it can be dangerous, when they are not fully educated about a topic. I also think it is disrespectful of people to put their expectations on you (or anyone on social media) to talk about whatever they expect or want you to talk about.. It is also silly to assume that just because your not speaking about a topic on this channel does not mean that you are not aware or not doing things privately off camera! I couldn't respect you more for saying it in this video - well done!
I definitely respect your opinion. Most people I watch on UA-cam don't talk about what is going on in the news thank goodness. But I will say I'm glad people are doing the job the main stream media seems to be failing at. We need to bring back journalist not people with their own agenda. Again with that being said most channels I watch is to get a break from what is going on in the world. So I don't think the majority of people mind you staying away from world topics.
The Backstory on you tube (live at 4pm EST) is not a news per say, but they discuss and expose the propaganda; talk to real people in Russia and Ukraine. Shocked you tube hasn’t taken them down. They don’t do the partisan thang. Viva Frei is also great..... NONE are as delightful & beautiful you tubers as our Angela!
Angela, I appreciate your videos and sharing how you feel. That being said, I have no expectations of you sharing the 'news or politics'. Thanks for being yourself.
Another viewer here in Australia who feels the weight of the world on my shoulders sometimes, and understand totally your need to keep your personal and work life separate from what's really going on out there and how heartbreaking it all is. I have had to take a step back totally from all of it a times as well because it gets too heavy to carry. And then the criticism that can enter your peaceful places if you dare to share some things. Love you and your work!
Well, I'm one of the three people that stayed to the end and I love what you said, it's said that it needs to be said but I love that someone like you with such a bit following is saying it! Just because someone doesn't post about a certain issue on their social media doesn't mean it isn't breaking their heart and they aren't praying and/or doing something about it!
Thank you very much for your stand on world issues. It is absolutely true that influencers who just jump on a bandwagon are just adding to the noise. I enjoyed this video very much.
Thank you also for creating a light, unburdened space!! I think anyone that watches your channel knows that you care deeply about people, and shouldn’t need your stance to be made clear on things like current events in the world. It’s such a weird world right now in that people are made to feel pressured to say the right thing- I’m praying for xyz, I care about a group of people, etc rather than actively loving people and showing in your real life actions. Anyways, thank you immeasurably for the positivity, Angie! 💓
I guess I'm one of the "3" people who always listens to the end, I love your philosophy and your family and your videos, my youngest daughter is a combat medic, and having a distraction like makeup, or house stuff, your garden, even saying extra prayers for Lottie and Eliza, well thank you for them.
Thank you for your opinion on influencer news. I don’t get my news from influencers but from others online with expertise and direct information in the field. I no longer watch the mainstream media news because through personal research I have found that the mainstream media lies…..horribly! I appreciate the ability to watch you for enjoyment and not for your opinion on the news and world events. I want to enjoy your channel and not worry about the world. It’s a wonderful escape!
33:04-37:00 You get it!! I wish more people did!! Love your content I always look forward to both your channels.. you are an inspiration and you motivate my lazy butt to get things done around my house lol 😂
Lol I stayed right to the end Ange (one of the three?? Lol) you are hilarious and it’s all going to be alright! I do love coming to you for some happy life stuff! Yes it’s a sad world at the moment. However we still stay happy and keep on looking after our families and do all the stuff we need to and trust the best is yet to come… (not the worst) ps. Can’t wait to see the cabin and playground and garden!!
In January, my daughters and I learned about Antarctica and we were fascinated by Shackleton's story (which I had never learned about before either!) I literally squealed with delight when I read the news about Endurance 🤣🤓. That is one of the things I love so much about Home Education, how much I learn alongside my kids. I want them to see there is no end to learning 💗
I am so sold on that purse. It’s the perfect size and such a cute color! Also thanks for reminding me about Ernest Shakleton and sharing those books. That will so fun to go through with my kids.
I couldn’t believe you mentioned the Endurance… I was equally awed by that clip on the news… can’t wait to see who make s a special documentary linking the images with what they know. I found out about you when I had to create content for a Mom’s Ministry on digital decluttering… you were the only creator I easily found that had Mom perspective. Thanks for how you’re using your gifting and sharing it with others!
I absolutely love that you leave “current events” out of your videos. There is too much of that anyway. I enjoy your videos, especially because you don’t do that. I have learned a lot about organizing my new home and look forward to new videos. I can’t believe you do the videos, have 8 children, a home to keep, home school all of them and have time for these videos. I admire you and have so much respect for you. Just keep doing you. 😀
As someone in her late twenties who is looking for quality pieces that will last a life time and just overall advice, I absolutely LOVE your favorites videos! Always taking notes 😊
Wow, I loved your video and especially appreciated your view on influencers giving their opinion on everything going on in the world. Very wise words!! In general I think it's great how intentional you are about what you post and say online :)
I really really appreciate your perspective and mission of the channel. As you said there are terrible things that happen around the world. As someone who is half North African I’m just shocked at the double standard. I urge people to reflect on their views of previous conflicts that they have heard of and didn’t have such a robust response as they have for this current situation.
Enjoyed this, Angela! And I truly did enjoy the end. I appreciate that you focus on the home and on mama life, because that's what I need to do in my life, too.
I love how you are not afraid to be a little honest. I know you “feel “ a lot but like you said, your channel isn’t for those subjects. I do feel influencers are in a catch 22. If you don’t say anything then you are a horrible non feeling person but if you say something then you get blamed for not saying enough and not being sincere. You summed up things nicely! I enjoyed the rest of the video too!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and your heart at the end. It was my favorite part of the video. I think when viewers connect to influencers they also want to hear your personal heart on the state of the world. I agree with you however that it is wise to abstain from such content as your channel has a very specific purpose. The way you shared that things do look scary to you also was just enough to relate to how others may feel also. Blessings to you and your beautiful family!
It is difficult times we live in. However we need to make a conscious decision every single day to look at the positive things. Otherwise it will be quite easy for the darkness to overshadow anything good in the world... We need to be realistic, but that doesn't mean we can't live in the positive of what life still has to offer!
Thank you for this video. I see other influencers being picked on in their comments and others trying to exploit them for not speaking about whatever current events are happening. If they don’t speak on whatever those current events are, some people have actually said things like, “since you have not shed light on with a large following like yours to (this) topic I cannot follow you anymore.” People think just because someone has a large following, they owe themselves to the world. Well, Your followers are glad you give us the curated topics you give us and not every current event. Stay true to yourself. ❤️ We love your Angie content.
Yes, the nuances of some of these hard conversations are more than can be shared in this way- i have plenty of opinions - 😜 but they don’t all need air time.
Your channel is my refuge. You remind me of myself so much. Not that I have as much responsibility as you do at this time, but your personality.☺️ i guess what I am saying is…I really like you!👍❤️🙏🏻
Just bought 3 anthropology headbands…so thanks for that? 😂 Love your personality, style, wittiness, content…love it all. You always give me a good laugh and great style and homestead recommendations! We recently added chickens to our family because of you and we’re obsessed. And now we’ve started getting our garden beds ready for spring and summer planting, all 21 of them 😅 (left by the previous owners), so I appreciate all your good advice. You guys are wonderful!
thanks for your words! i wish more would only speak out of knowledge and facts and not from opinions and belives because those are so often misdirected specially in those times. so getting all the facts from both sides and educating oneself should always be the first thing people do before they open their mouths and playing influencer! i wish u a great weekend and I know better times will come for all of us!!
I appreciate your stance on world issues. I stopped watching the news about 15(+) years ago because it was depressing and crushed my soul. You can not completely avoid the scary sad things in the world but I don’t want or need “influencers” telling me how to react, behave or feel on the awful state of the world. Thank you for being a safe place for me, I enjoy your energy and content. On a lighter note, please tell me/us where you got that beautiful turquoise(or Larimar) ring?
I am getting so much judgement from my family right now that heard my shouting from the other side of the house.... “Yay! Grand Nonna is coming!” 🙈🙈yes, I know she’s not my granny and she doesn’t know me, but I’m still excited 😂🤪
I was one of the last 3. 😆 I watch to the end everytime! Yes, I love that you keep everything happy ❤️❤️ let's stay happy and move on... chocolate sounds good. God bless!
I so appreciate what you said in the end. So much noise out there. So many overnight reporters have emerged all of a sudden! Social media makes us all feel like we’re way more important than we are 🥴😂. It doesn’t bother me if someone reposts something from time to time bc it resonated deeply with them and they have a right to share what they want on their page. But let’s get rid of all this obligation business! And please don’t tell me what or how I should think. 🙄
honestly i’m so curious about your stance is on different topics but I completely respect your decision to not share and honestly I think more people would do well to not spout off on the current wag the dog!
As always, thanks so much Angie for the info, chuckles, and inspiration. I couldn't agree more on not going to influencers for news. Every time I see a headline about some celebrity sharing their political opinion I think, "And WHY do we care?" We can care deeply about world events, pray about them, take action to help, AND talk about makeup. It's ok. We all need the mental break! We all need to stop caving to the pressure from others to say and do what they demand. The only thing bad about keeping opinions to ourselves is then we only hear from the "people with the mic" who like to scream their opinions in every video and demand everyone agree or be cancelled. So that makes others believe those loud "people with the mic" represent the majority. I don't believe they do. Anyhoo...off to think about something frivolous and joyful! :)
Oh man- I agree. I wish it were more tolerable to hold differing views, or personal experiences that buck the narrative. I have more opinions than most could tolerate 😜
Always love your perspective and to date, both here and on TGN, have totally agreed with all your decisions regarding what to share or not. Love your Kahlil Gibran arrows and am excited to see BB8's nestling there with his siblings' one day!
Thank you for sharing your heart at the end of the video. I understand what you mean about needing to draw lines in the sand. I confess I was initially hoping to hear from the UA-camrs I follow about the present state of the world - only because I don’t want the western world (me) to go on with our lives as if nothing bad is happening. I want to help carry the burden even if my life hasn’t changed in any way. But I can see that not talking about it is actually what many people need and there are other spaces for that.
I live in Poland, and I really don't need anyone to tell me what to think, we are close enough here. What I need to know is that there are still people who choose to be happy somewhere in the world and spring to be enjoyed for everyone. So thank you very much for what you said in the end.
I hope you know you’re all in my prayers 💗
Love

Peg. Your comment means more than you know. I always hope that people who really know me have no doubts about where I stand. 💗
Enough sadness, I choose to follow influencers that don’t bring more attention to what already brings me sadness ,Thank you SO MUCH for being you and not a newscaster ♥️

Well said !!!
You are seriously my positive, soothing, joyful cup of coffee in the morning! You totally set the tone for the day!!! Thank you for all you do!! 😄😄😄
I totally agree with this comment! I feel happy, calm, and yet motivated when I watch your videos!
And this is why we live you. Thank you for bring light and joy into our day!! I come to you especially for that and you don’t need to tell me that the news affects you. With your big heart of course it does. Thank you for what you do.
I appreciate how you defined your boundary of what you will provide and what is not your lane. Staying true to your vision for your channel and being authentic.

Thank you for all the work you do to make videos and post regularly.
Love how you put that- being emotionally hijacked! Exactly!
OMG!!!! I LOVE your take on how you choose to use your platform. I wish more influencers and celebrities were more thoughtful about this.
Thank you Angela! I come to your videos to relax, get excited in the joy of your family, and to get away from the news from around the world! I'm 66 years old, have been battling cancer the past two years, have a 73 year old husband who has health issues--your channel takes me away from all of that for a little while.

Hello Peggy
Love watching both of your channels because you’re real. I don’t feel like I’m watching some rehearsed and staged “performance”.
You have lifted me up and helped me feel “normal” in so many ways.
Angie and CR are names that are spoke about on a regular basis in our home, my husband has never watched a video, but he knows who you are-he politely listens as I give him play by plays from the videos or when I practically read your book to him 🤣
Thank you for your tidbit at the end, your videos are a ray of sunshine in the midst of all the things we can’t control and I truly appreciate you!
Aw, love to hear this Bethany!
Definitely read the chapters about Noah’s adoption out loud to my husband because my heart broke for the orphans of Congo. Told him we need to adopt!
I really appreciate your stance on influencers sharing news and stuff. I've had to unfollow a lot of people that post constantly about certain things, and not even because I disagree with their takes or anything, it's just that, that's not why I'm following anyone on social media.

I go other places for all that stuff when I'm in the head space to learn about it. I don't want it constantly shoved down my throat, it feels very unhealthy.
That’s how I feel too. I immerse myself in too much news and politics sometimes and often I just need a break! 💗
I so appreciate your wisdom about how you choose to relate with world issues. It’s so refreshing the way you set boundaries in this space and I hope it empowers others to know that they can be successful without waving every flag… thank you!

Hello Laura
The black/red/yellow/blue headband reminds me SO MUCH of Romania 🇷🇴 and the traditional clothing. And my grandma, in the nicest way possible 🤗
Before the end of this of thus video I thought that I could not possibly love and respect you more. I was wrong. I am so glad I follow you. I started following you because my heart crawled out of my chest and tried to email itself to meet Rosie. Seeing Rosie blossom and grow is such a gift to me. I have stayed for a million reason yet I will always feel like I am surrounded by all that is good in the world when Rosie smiles.
We all feel it, and it’s real and it’s sad.
But ur right, moments of the regular stuff- coffee, shoes and lip gloss?
That’s what keeps us all sane 😊
I love your channel so much and I love being able to come here and just enjoy and take part in whatever snippet of your life you choose to share with us. I have so much respect for how you choose to run your business and it’s just so refreshing to come to a place and talk about make up and books in the midst of all the other things going on in life.
Love all the favourites andddd I love how you articulate your feelings on more serious issues no one should feel they have to comment ! 👌🏽
I completely love and appreciate your stance and how you handle things here.
You are truly a joy to watch and agree with your choice of content. Thank you!
I really appreciate that you aren't using your channel to express your opinions on what's going on in the world.

I definitely respect your opinion. Most people I watch on UA-cam don't talk about what is going on in the news thank goodness. But I will say I'm glad people are doing the job the main stream media seems to be failing at. We need to bring back journalist not people with their own agenda. Again with that being said most channels I watch is to get a break from what is going on in the world. So I don't think the majority of people mind you staying away from world topics.
oh i agree about alternative news sources for sure!
The Backstory on you tube (live at 4pm EST) is not a news per say, but they discuss and expose the propaganda; talk to real people in Russia and Ukraine. Shocked you tube hasn’t taken them down. They don’t do the partisan thang. Viva Frei is also great..... NONE are as delightful & beautiful you tubers as our Angela!
Watch Russell Brand on UA-cam. He’s got a fascinating take on things. Eye opening. Food for thought.
Angela, I appreciate your videos and sharing how you feel. That being said, I have no expectations of you sharing the 'news or politics'. Thanks for being yourself.
You are one of my fav. youtubers because of your wisdom of what to share and when. I appreciate that about you very much!
Another viewer here in Australia who feels the weight of the world on my shoulders sometimes, and understand totally your need to keep your personal and work life separate from what's really going on out there and how heartbreaking it all is.
I have had to take a step back totally from all of it a times as well because it gets too heavy to carry. And then the criticism that can enter your peaceful places if you dare to share some things.
Love you and your work!
This is what I love about you!
Honesty :) Staying true to yourself and not feeling influenced (lol) to speak about every new hot topic.
Well, I'm one of the three people that stayed to the end and I love what you said, it's said that it needs to be said but I love that someone like you with such a bit following is saying it! Just because someone doesn't post about a certain issue on their social media doesn't mean it isn't breaking their heart and they aren't praying and/or doing something about it!
You are just my favorite you tuber. Everything about you! Thanks for your words and favorites!
Thank you very much for your stand on world issues. It is absolutely true that influencers who just jump on a bandwagon are just adding to the noise. I enjoyed this video very much.
I tip my hat off to you mam. Mature, smart, humble 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thank you also for creating a light, unburdened space!! I think anyone that watches your channel knows that you care deeply about people, and shouldn’t need your stance to be made clear on things like current events in the world. It’s such a weird world right now in that people are made to feel pressured to say the right thing- I’m praying for xyz, I care about a group of people, etc rather than actively loving people and showing in your real life actions. Anyways, thank you immeasurably for the positivity, Angie! 💓
I guess I'm one of the "3" people who always listens to the end, I love your philosophy and your family and your videos, my youngest daughter is a combat medic, and having a distraction like makeup, or house stuff, your garden, even saying extra prayers for Lottie and Eliza, well thank you for them.
Thank you for your opinion on influencer news. I don’t get my news from influencers but from others online with expertise and direct information in the field. I no longer watch the mainstream media news because through personal research I have found that the mainstream media lies…..horribly!
I appreciate the ability to watch you for enjoyment and not for your opinion on the news and world events. I want to enjoy your channel and not worry about the world. It’s a wonderful escape!
Glad I can bring a little joy and frivolity in the chaos of real life 💗
33:04-37:00 You get it!! I wish more people did!! Love your content I always look forward to both your channels.. you are an inspiration and you motivate my lazy butt to get things done around my house lol 😂
Lol I stayed right to the end Ange (one of the three?? Lol) you are hilarious and it’s all going to be alright! I do love coming to you for some happy life stuff! Yes it’s a sad world at the moment. However we still stay happy and keep on looking after our families and do all the stuff we need to and trust the best is yet to come… (not the worst) ps. Can’t wait to see the cabin and playground and garden!!
Hello Natalie
In January, my daughters and I learned about Antarctica and we were fascinated by Shackleton's story (which I had never learned about before either!) I literally squealed with delight when I read the news about Endurance 🤣🤓. That is one of the things I love so much about Home Education, how much I learn alongside my kids. I want them to see there is no end to learning 💗
Hello jo
I am so sold on that purse. It’s the perfect size and such a cute color! Also thanks for reminding me about Ernest Shakleton and sharing those books. That will so fun to go through with my kids.
Yes, continue the updates! I enjoy your updates and also liked that you organized them towards the end :)
I couldn’t believe you mentioned the Endurance… I was equally awed by that clip on the news… can’t wait to see who make s a special documentary linking the images with what they know. I found out about you when I had to create content for a Mom’s Ministry on digital decluttering… you were the only creator I easily found that had Mom perspective. Thanks for how you’re using your gifting and sharing it with others!
Hello lizette
I absolutely love that you leave “current events” out of your videos. There is too much of that anyway. I enjoy your videos, especially because you don’t do that. I have learned a lot about organizing my new home and look forward to new videos. I can’t believe you do the videos, have 8 children, a home to keep, home school all of them and have time for these videos. I admire you and have so much respect for you. Just keep doing you. 😀
As someone in her late twenties who is looking for quality pieces that will last a life time and just overall advice, I absolutely LOVE your favorites videos! Always taking notes 😊
Wow, I loved your video and especially appreciated your view on influencers giving their opinion on everything going on in the world. Very wise words!! In general I think it's great how intentional you are about what you post and say online :)
I certainly don’t always get it right, but I’ve learned to be slower to speak and quicker to listen. It continues to serve me well.
It’s nice to have a place to retreat and your channel is a happy place for me ❤️
I'm so excited to see the cabin. I love what I can see behind you this far!
I love your recommendations!!! I bought a deep curl iron and have had so many compliments!!
Hello Elizabeth
I really really appreciate your perspective and mission of the channel. As you said there are terrible things that happen around the world. As someone who is half North African I’m just shocked at the double standard. I urge people to reflect on their views of previous conflicts that they have heard of and didn’t have such a robust response as they have for this current situation.
Enjoyed this, Angela! And I truly did enjoy the end. I appreciate that you focus on the home and on mama life, because that's what I need to do in my life, too.
I love how you are not afraid to be a little honest. I know you “feel “ a lot but like you said, your channel isn’t for those subjects. I do feel influencers are in a catch 22. If you don’t say anything then you are a horrible non feeling person but if you say something then you get blamed for not saying enough and not being sincere. You summed up things nicely! I enjoyed the rest of the video too!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and your heart at the end. It was my favorite part of the video. I think when viewers connect to influencers they also want to hear your personal heart on the state of the world. I agree with you however that it is wise to abstain from such content as your channel has a very specific purpose. The way you shared that things do look scary to you also was just enough to relate to how others may feel also. Blessings to you and your beautiful family!
Yep. I love to connect with y’all but some topics are just too big for UA-cam videos.
Love the headbands! And the purse if gorgeous! Have one I've had for 15 years. When I need a new one I will know where to go!
I have the exact same problem with headbands. Thank you for sharing, they look great on you! 🌻
Angela, I just love your favorite videos and your realness! 🙌🏼❤️
It is difficult times we live in. However we need to make a conscious decision every single day to look at the positive things. Otherwise it will be quite easy for the darkness to overshadow anything good in the world... We need to be realistic, but that doesn't mean we can't live in the positive of what life still has to offer!
Loved the video! Please keep sharing your book reviews and thoughts.
I love your channel, it's so refreshing..and 1000% agree with your stance
Who knew a headband could be SO beautiful!!!! Ordering!!!!
Thank you for this video.
I see other influencers being picked on in their comments and others trying to exploit them for not speaking about whatever current events are happening.
If they don’t speak on whatever those current events are, some people have actually said things like, “since you have not shed light on with a large following like yours to (this) topic I cannot follow you anymore.”
People think just because someone has a large following, they owe themselves to the world.
Well, Your followers are glad you give us the curated topics you give us and not every current event.
Stay true to yourself. ❤️
We love your Angie content.
Yes, the nuances of some of these hard conversations are more than can be shared in this way- i have plenty of opinions - 😜 but they don’t all need air time.
Your channel is my refuge. You remind me of myself so much. Not that I have as much responsibility as you do at this time, but your personality.☺️ i guess what I am saying is…I really like you!👍❤️🙏🏻
Loved the “Runaway Bride” reference! “Focus on your eggs, Bob”
I didn't hear a word you said. Your hair was so mesmerizing that I got lost in it! The color was like liquid gold.
Your skin looks so beautiful. I love the dewy look and your style is so good. Love your videos all the way from here in the 🇬🇧 UK
I seriously love your videos so much!!💕
You are spot on about the influencer thing. Bravo!
I would love a video with your book favorites! Thanks
I always get so excited when you post 🤍
Just bought 3 anthropology headbands…so thanks for that? 😂 Love your personality, style, wittiness, content…love it all. You always give me a good laugh and great style and homestead recommendations! We recently added chickens to our family because of you and we’re obsessed. And now we’ve started getting our garden beds ready for spring and summer planting, all 21 of them 😅 (left by the previous owners), so I appreciate all your good advice. You guys are wonderful!
Oh yay! Love this!
Loved this video! Thank you for sharing your thoughts on social media and news.. I think things like this need to be said more often :)
thanks for your words! i wish more would only speak out of knowledge and facts and not from opinions and belives because those are so often misdirected specially in those times. so getting all the facts from both sides and educating oneself should always be the first thing people do before they open their mouths and playing influencer! i wish u a great weekend and I know better times will come for all of us!!
I appreciate your stance on world issues. I stopped watching the news about 15(+) years ago because it was depressing and crushed my soul. You can not completely avoid the scary sad things in the world but I don’t want or need “influencers” telling me how to react, behave or feel on the awful state of the world. Thank you for being a safe place for me, I enjoy your energy and content.
On a lighter note, please tell me/us where you got that beautiful turquoise(or Larimar) ring?
I am getting so much judgement from my family right now that heard my shouting from the other side of the house.... “Yay! Grand Nonna is coming!” 🙈🙈yes, I know she’s not my granny and she doesn’t know me, but I’m still excited 😂🤪
I’m still watching! 🙋🏻♀️ I think where you draw the line in the sand is very appropriate!
Your videos are the best 💛 thank you for sharing your heart! real life is rough right now, lets talk about beauty products 😄
Absolutely!!
I love your channel & thank you for not using your channel for current stuff! 💞💞💞💞
I was one of the last 3. 😆 I watch to the end everytime! Yes, I love that you keep everything happy ❤️❤️ let's stay happy and move on... chocolate sounds good. God bless!
I loved the end. Thank you 🧡
I so appreciate what you said in the end. So much noise out there. So many overnight reporters have emerged all of a sudden! Social media makes us all feel like we’re way more important than we are 🥴😂. It doesn’t bother me if someone reposts something from time to time bc it resonated deeply with them and they have a right to share what they want on their page. But let’s get rid of all this obligation business! And please don’t tell me what or how I should think. 🙄
B O U N D A R I E S at its finest! Love it!
Hahaha “what month is it. I don’t even know” totally me 😂
I really like what you said at the end! it was so spot on!
I go to my lawyers and patriot mil preppers for news lol. I come here for an awesome mom changing lives for good at home.
honestly i’m so curious about your stance is on different topics but I completely respect your decision to not share and honestly I think more people would do well to not spout off on the current wag the dog!
As always, thanks so much Angie for the info, chuckles, and inspiration. I couldn't agree more on not going to influencers for news. Every time I see a headline about some celebrity sharing their political opinion I think, "And WHY do we care?"
We can care deeply about world events, pray about them, take action to help, AND talk about makeup. It's ok. We all need the mental break!
We all need to stop caving to the pressure from others to say and do what they demand. The only thing bad about keeping opinions to ourselves is then we only hear from the "people with the mic" who like to scream their opinions in every video and demand everyone agree or be cancelled. So that makes others believe those loud "people with the mic" represent the majority. I don't believe they do.
Anyhoo...off to think about something frivolous and joyful! :)
Oh man- I agree. I wish it were more tolerable to hold differing views, or personal experiences that buck the narrative. I have more opinions than most could tolerate 😜
Always love your perspective and to date, both here and on TGN, have totally agreed with all your decisions regarding what to share or not. Love your Kahlil Gibran arrows and am excited to see BB8's nestling there with his siblings' one day!
Thank you for sharing your heart at the end of the video. I understand what you mean about needing to draw lines in the sand. I confess I was initially hoping to hear from the UA-camrs I follow about the present state of the world - only because I don’t want the western world (me) to go on with our lives as if nothing bad is happening. I want to help carry the burden even if my life hasn’t changed in any way. But I can see that not talking about it is actually what many people need and there are other spaces for that.
Absolutely- it’s hard to find the balance - especially when the general public seems to only have an attention span for a few specific things.
Finding the Endurance is so very cool!!!
I love these vlogs! Have a fantastic weekend ❤️
I love the headband info I also have head issues.😃
Just found your channel and you and 100 my type of girl 😆😍
I did watch until the end, thank you for sharing your opinion
