Thank you TULA for sponsoring this video.
"It doesn't matter how you look if your acting ugly." What incredible advice.
Boy is that the truth. Beauty is skin deep but ugly is to the bone. One of my friends told me that years ago. I love the saying and live by it. Also kindness makes you beautiful. So thank you
This has been one of your most insightful videos yet. You are wise beyond your years, young lady! (I'm 60)
I have been told most of my life that I am unattractive. By adults when I was young, by my peers, by men I dated....it was something I really struggled with, especially in my 20s & 30s. Now that I am in my 40s, I have hit a point where I don't care what others think. You don't think I'm attractive enough? Move along.....I won't waste my time convincing you otherwise.
I focus on skincare, healthy eating, exercise and a full night's sleep. I dont wear makeup at all. I think my skin looks so much better without it!
I was told the same. "Ugly" was used to describe me. Or "cute" as in, "I'm too polite to call her unattractive, so calling her cute is safe." I've come to hate being called cute. Now that I am 40, people call me classy, which is fine by me, or "you don't look 40."
What a horrible thing to have to hear from men you are dating. I know it is easier said than done, but if they think about you like that, I wouldn’t date them.
I've been told if I put effort into dressing a certain way or wearing make up I would have a boyfriend or husband 🤷😂 I make sure I smell nice and look tidy. I'm a outside girl,I feel like too much make up is a waste! I brush my brows,curl my lashes, mascara,blush and chapstick!
Agreed dnt waste time on those who think you aren't.. everyone is beautiful in there own way and to someone .. and that's all that matters
Both of you ladies are beautiful I think those lies came from jealousy and bullying and are not true!
SLEEP is so underrated in our culture. I feel some folks think it shows weakness to sleep and being busy is the way. Not so!! Sleep overrides everything in my opinion. Also, on sunscreen ALWAYS put sunscreen on the back of your hands. You will thank me when you are 60!
I too have often thought of how our culture regards sleep. So many people see it as a form of weakness and laziness. It is something our bodies and brains need in order to enjoy life and be productive. I’ve tried building better sleep habits over the past year or so and my life has only changed for the better.
I agree with you 100%
Well said! I definitely fall into the category of folks who undervalued sleep, and even viewed it as a weakness! But, sleep is so important !
Our pastor always said “pretty is as pretty does.” Is it so true and I say it over & over to myself all the time.
I love that you take beauty as a priority without making it into an idol 💜
Yes, I think sometimes we act like if we seek beauty we are somehow shallow and superficial. It has its place. But it's not all important!
@@MeganFoxUnlocked definitely!
I had to add a second post lol! I am 62 years old and I have learned so much from you over the past year that I've been watching you. You are so personable and I watch you often just to relax in the evenings! From this video, I have re-committed to good skin care, even when I don't feel like messing with it. I also have committed to putting down the diet sodas and drink more water. Thank you again for this channel and being such an encouragement to us. You're a doll♥️
Megan I’m so glad I found this channel. You’re so uplifting. God bless you
I’m a 45 year old working mom and I needed this video. Aging is hard, but I am making more of effort to take of myself and be neatly dressed but also be pretty on the inside. Being kind and hopeful is my goal, to others and to myself. I had a long hard work day and this video is such a blessing. Thank you!
I was soooo excited for this one! Kids are napping, so...perfect timing! 😃
What wisdom and discernment you have at such a young 28! I enjoyed and appreciated your balanced view of beauty.
Perfect timing! I'm a mom of a 4 yr old and one yr old, and I'm 7 months pregnant. Feeling tired and my skin is showing it. Thank you for the encouragement! Now off to check out that eye stick. God bless you.
So excited to see this! Thank you for your uplifting videos! So refreshing to see a Godly point of view these days❤
It’s really nice to see a video about appearance and body care that doesn’t put anyone, any body type, or how someone cares for their body down. The overall tone of this video was so positive.
I agree. This video is very well made!
Wonderful video, Megan!
Now THAT was a great video . You have a gift girl . What a great speaker you are , and wise beyond your years . Not to mention , you would make a GREAT friend ❤️
This was awesome Megan!
Great work 🙌🏼
🙋🏻♀️ hi! Great chat! I listened while I did my daily walk!
Megan, this was a very important video. Beauty comes from within and it shows through your smile and kind words. I'm 73 and I'm so happy with my wrinkles and fine lines. I'll be checking out Tula. Huge Hugs
So enjoyed this!!
Megan, thank you for being so real. 💗💗💗💗
What an awesome topic! I have a 5 yo daughter and I’ve tried to instill these same ideas into my parenting. You gave me some perfect, understandable phrases to put on my toolbag! I am so grateful for your videos. You are such an encouragement!
Loves this video!!
Thanks for the video Megan! Something that has helped me is unfollowing any Instagram accounts that made me feel insecure.
Ahh! That's so true. And what might feel bad to you might feel inspiring to someone else, so we all have to guard our own follows on Instagram and make sure they're healthy for us!
Great tips and thoughts on beauty. Thanks for sharing!
I have been reading so much lately about the healing properties of good sleep and working on ways to make that a bigger priority in my life.
I’m so happy and excited that you use Tula! I’ve been on the fence about buying them for a month now and the fact that you indorse them ( and have a coupon) was the push I needed!!! So excited to get mine and see how it works for my skin 🎉❤️
Thanks so much Megan. I'll be 41 next Friday and this is something that I've struggled with most of my life. I'm trying to be more positive about my appearance because I don't want my 4 year old son to be affected by my constant shaming of myself. I have health issues which cause my skin not to be the best regardless of what skin care I use. This video was definitely something that I needed to hear. 💗
Thanks so much for making this video! Dressing up for yourself is the best reason I think 😄
So true! And it sounds weird to say, but I think it's ok!
I found this so encouraging. Thank you so much for following that still small voice to share your thoughts and feelings on this topic. You are such an encouragement ❤️
Wish you and other UA-cam moms were around when my kids were young! Although we are now empty nesters, I still enjoy this type of content!
Great job 👏🏿 👏🏿
Loved this topic!
Love this and completely agree! Thank you for speaking on this topic!
Looking forward to this!
I love to watch your videos. Enjoy seeing your children, family life. You give solid advice to your viewers. Please continue. Love from a Grandma.
I love that you spoke about this topic from a modest standpoint! I always think about beauty tips being vain, but these are some very good tips that are just about making you feel good in your skin!
And for what it’s worth, I think you’re pretty..inside and out! 😊
Beautiful advice ❣
Megan, you are delightful and, yes, lovely inside and out! I just discovered your channel a few months ago and am thoroughly enjoying your topics and learning about the Mennonite faith. Thank you for sharing these important truths about our focus on inner beauty which will then shine out of us in outer appearance.
You are a beautiful and genuine person inside and out. I enjoy your channel and content quite a bit. Thank you for your honesty.
This was a great message! I am a 37 year old Mom of kids ages 8-15 and I’m currently exhausted. I’m just tossing and turning at night. I’m just anxious and depressed about the world our kids are facing right now. I know I need to hand it over to the Lord... I’m just so bad at leaving it at His feet.
I think there are a lot of us who can relate to your fears. However, know with all confidence in Christ that He has a divine purpose and plan for each of your children for this time and place. We have no control over the future, but God does and He will equip our children to be the future warriors of their generation. Take courage!
I have been feeling this way some too! I started taking B-complex along with my women's vitamin and that seems to help some, but mostly its a mind game that turns your body sick and it's so hard to turn from it! FEAR is a LIAR. and it is so hard to overcome!
When I can't shut my brain off, I try to do math or difficult riddles to try to get my mind off the stress, or worry, or whatever is keeping me awake. I wish I could just shut my brain down sometimes, hope you find a solution that works for you!
Emery, the Bible says to encourage one another as we see these end days approaching, saying "Look up for our Redeemer draweth nigh" KJV. Rest. Jesus is coming soon.
You are not alone..... I have very similar feelings. Hang in there 💞
Such an enjoyable video for women of all ages! ❤
Hi, love your channel. Ordered a few things from your website for the first time today. Can't wait to receive them. 😊💙
Love this thank you for talking about it its always a good reminder that beauty comes from within❤️
Love your thinking!! Not Mennonite but love all your mommy and life content!! Keep sharing
Amazing and great message. We need positive message like this today more than ever. Especially with a beauty and fashion always ready to tell us what beauty is.
Thank you for sharing this. You have a lot of insight to be so young. I can’t wait till the next video. Love your family. Be blessed.
Oh dear Megan, i wish that you were posting videos ever day :)
Love when you talk about your faith it's what I am here for ❤️
Hello there Megan, this video hit home,and I appreciate you putting it together! God bless you as you continue to keep glorifying Him through the ways you minister to others. Looking forward to the next video!🙂
To answer your question Megan, yes you are pretty! Enjoyed the video!
Great message Megan. As a 50 year I definitely feel some of those physical things that slow the body down, but I love the way you've made your beauty from the inside out xx
What a lovely video 💜💜💜
Best video yet. So good. Thanks for sharing Megan! I really appreciated the effort and wisdom you put into it. 🌸 blessings from Michigan.
I’ve been binge-watching your videos since I stumbled upon your channel. Love your content! Very wholesome & helpful. Thank you for using your platform to speak about the Lord & in sharing your faith. We need more channels like yours!
This is SUUCCHHH a different video from you... but I LIKE it!! Love how you're able to shake things up!
I really enjoyed this video! Thank you!
Every girl is pretty.
Amazing topics, such a smart explanation! Thank you Megan
Thank you for the encouragement! Also, I love your sweater at the end.
Such a lovely uplifting video and such a delight in hearing you bring scripture into your conversation. 😊
I’m new to your channel. I have been loving your positive videos. Keeping it real with good vibes. Super refreshing.
Teresa. ♥️
Sooo happy to have found your channel ❤️
I have a 13 year old and a 2 year old and I’ve made it a point to never comment on my body or physical appearance in front of them. I’m actually a really bad perfectionist though and if my family knew what was really in my head they’d be shocked. But I think my 13 yo has a good self esteem since I’ve never put emphasis on physical appearance aside from just being healthy and hygienic. I’m 38 and have been dying my hair black since 18 and just this morning decided it’s time to grow out my natural hair which includes grays! Really excited for the “new me” to come.
Love this comment! What made you decide to let your hair grow out after all this time? I bet you will be glad not to have to keep it up all the time 🙂 for some reason I’m curious what color is your hair naturally?
@@emilyb5106 Hi, thank you 😊 I switched from using “natural black” dye to “darkest brown” last fall to try and go a bit lighter but brown seems to fade really fast so I’ve been dying my hair every 3 weeks so I don’t have weird roots but I’ve had enough. My natural hair is a light to medium brown so it should be very interesting 😬 but I’m hoping the color will fade enough over time so it doesn’t look too freaky while it’s growing! My hair is almost waist length as well so I think I’ll need to trim some off.
My daughter turned 10 yesterday and one of the things she wanted to do with me for her birthday was watch one (or more) of your videos together! Her Love Language is Quality time.🥰
We waited until today, so we could watch your new one.... right after I clean up my toddler... who decided to play in the mud.🤦♀️😂🥰
So good! This one was a good one for my 10 year old to watch, seeing as how she's entering a new decade of life, where these things become a bigger topic. Your Mom and my Mom seem to say a lot of the same things.🥰 I have 5 sisters (7 girls (6 living) and 1 boy in our family, total), so beauty seemed to be a constant topic in some way, shape and form in our house always.
The points you made are points I want both of my daughters (and any more daughters I have) to grow up knowing and remembering.💜
I needed these reminders and encouragement myself this week. My face has been all messy this week from Aunt Flo and some other stress and I've just been feeling UGLY. I've been catching myself about to vocalize how ugly I feel or look and then remembering my daughter, right there, watching, hearing... I don't want her to grow up thinking ugly thoughts about herself... So, I just say, "Wow! I need to drink more water this week and make sure not to skip my vitamins, so I can work through this break out!" 😬😂
This may sound bad, but since my personality is to try to see the positive of every negative, I have to say that I've been using my broken out face as a reminder of what it looks like when I'm having a bad attitude.🤦♀️😂
New goal: don't let my attitude look like a broken out face... even when my face is broken out.😂🤷♀️😂
I so resonate with this! My daughters are 10 and 14.
Just started watching the vid- that wall behind you is stunning !! The colour and design! Love it!! Continuing to watch the video now 😍
Megan, you handled this so well. As a 65 year old woman I love what you say. Thank you xx
I needed to hear this! Thank you so much! You are so lovely 😍
You’re so right about sleep... I have a six week old (my first child) and it’s been challenging! I’ve had my parents over helping just so my husband and I can catch up on sleep.
As a 22 year old young woman, I look up to you so much. I’m only now coming to terms with my personality. Similar to yourself, I am very chatty 😂 but it’s a lovely characteristic of who we are. I’m often told it’s very welcoming and inviting, which makes me feel great :) I loved this video!
This was such a good discussion x
Loving this video. Thank you for the practical tips and biblical wisdom for inner and outer beauty. I'll certainly be trying that green tea recipe. May try Tula too, sounds like a nice skin regimen. Thanks again for another wonderful video!
Your personality is so fun! Do you think you will ever do a detailed video on what you believe/how you live as a Mennonite? Do you go to church 3 times a week or more? Just interested :) thanks so much for posting!
I enjoy the wholesome content, and how much your videos inspires me on so many levels. 🌻🌻🌻🌻
Another great video; just placed my order from Tula; hoping their skin care is good; since it wasn’t cheap! But I like to support you tubers like you!
I hope one day women will realize they don’t need ANY makeup to be put together or beautiful. This is a trick of the enemy to make us feel that way. Men don’t wear makeup to look professional, put together, or handsome. We should take care of our skin, eat right, and exercise because our bodies are the temple of the Holy Ghost. Beauty is vain and will fade. We should just embrace who God created us to be, embrace each season of our life!
Agree with you in part. I find this wonderful Godly women amazing. Her Lord comes first, her husband second and then her children. She is a fine example of Proverbs 31.
God bless you and the people who agreed with you.
Hey! Loved your video 😊 I'm 28 too and I have two little girls! Thanks for the girl talk, it was so encouraging 🙂
I am 54, and enjoy your videos so much! I love when you back up your words with scripture! Honestly, if you didn't do that, I can see the joy of the Lord in your eyes anyway! Thank you for being such a great influence on woman of all ages! Your mom did an amazing job! That is what makes you an amazing mother! And, I thought of your daughter as I watched this, and how you are an amazing Mother as a true example of beauty inside and out! Keep shining for Jesus!
Great video!
Thank you, I love embracing my 56 years and keep smiling 😃
Hi Megan! Just found your channel, and I love it! I'm Christian, 44 yrs old, married, mom of 5 yr old boy and 17 yr old teen girl, and I'm learning so much from you. Your channel is such a blessing. God bless and keep those videos coming!😊❤
I recently found your channel and LOVE everything you share! ❤️ you seem so kind and patient and it comes across really strong on camera!
PATIENT?! aaah. I don't know. Some days I sure don't feel that way!
@@MeganFoxUnlocked you’re too hard on yourself!!! ❤️
Thank you so much! As an unmarried 27 year old, I benefited from this. It’s really about good stewardship of our temple
I am not a Mennonite but I still love your videos!! You are so real and genuine!
I personally don't think we need to think that we need to look good in public to make Mennonite look good, as a Mennonite. I believe we should do it to make Jesus look good. Let's glorify Him!! Not Mennonite, or Amish, or anything!
Oh dear, I don't think that is what was being said at all in this video from this sweet women.
God's blessing to you today.
thank you meghan:) as a young and not yet married woman it can sometimes be overwhelming to juggle society's expectations, body image struggles and the bible's teachings on modesty and vanity. You are such a breath of fresh air! And i sure needed to hear this message today. love from austria
I can not imagine having to be young and date now a days. I am only 36 but when I was in my young 20's it wasn't ANYTHING like it is now- these influencers and social media as a whole- has created this unrealistic expectation for how women need to look. Stay strong and true to yourself- you will attract the type of man that God wants for you. You DO NOT need to change yourself to fit ANY kind of mold!
@@TiffanyN40 so true!!
@@TiffanyN40 thank you so much that means a lot :) and you are very right
For a second there I thought it was gonna be another Beauty Counter ad.... I'm glad there's at least one person I'm following that isn't selling it! (nothing against them, but wowwwww seems like everyone is on that train)
Nice video, Megan! Thank you! Appreciate your encouragement! I definitely think we are each beautiful just the way God made us and certainly agree that it’s what’s on the inside the truly matters! Also agree that we should try our best to take care of the body we were given! Also thanks for all the tips- esp. the Mom tips!! ;) need all the help I can get! *and I’m inspired... going to make some ice green tea now!!! ;) Thanks again for sharing! :)
Could not agree more about getting sleep. I personally slipped into adrenal fatigue because of losing sleep and believing the lie I had to sacrifice for my kids...even my sleep. I has taken me 1 year to heal with the help of a nurse practitioner but I'm so grateful to have learned how important sleep is.
So true💛I have been there so I understand.🙏🏼🤗
A bit of advice from one of your "seasoned" subbies...Remember to include your neck and back of hands when using your skin care. You'll thank me in 40 years...hahahaha ❤💚💜💙💛
p.s. Love ladies retreats. My Mom and sister and I used to go with our church years ago. My sister has moved and our Mom passed so I haven't been in years. When you mentioned it Wow the great memories. I need to look into going again. It's such a spiritual experience.
Thank you so much for this video! I am 3 weeks from delivering my second baby and am already dealing with the emotions that come with post baby body. I only had four months between having my first and getting pregnant again and never felt like I got my "normal" body back. Thank you for the reminder that beauty is more then the skin we ware and how big or small we are! God bless you and all that you do on your channel!
This is tough! I know the feeling of looking in the mirror and not seeing the person you remember yourself to be. It's like a sad goodbye in a way. But we may never be the same, but we can always improve and learn to like ourselves more and more.
😅 I love the feeling of a sunburn.... a hug from the sun! 🌞
My children are going to inherit that quote from your Mom 😆… I enjoyed hearing your perspective of how she modeled a very balanced self-image for you and your sister, as I am a mom of five daughters myself- three of them are teens right now. 😁. I want to be a good example of this for my own daughters. Also- I love that purple shirt you’re wearing when you’re painting your nails. It’s a great look on you!
Wow really important topic 🙏
I love the video. Thanks.
To all of my young ladies or gentlemen reading this; I’m sure you’ve heard true beauty comes from the inside, physical beauty makes many waste so much time pursuing aesthetics instead of what truly matters. Inner beauty’s light will shine thru time, it will never dim. Having superficial beauty on the surface but having an ugly inner self will never be beautiful. So be beautiful from within, shine from within, and be joyful from within; your true thoughts are reflected in your face.
Great message
Thank you so much for this video me and my mom were just talking about this and I'm definitely struggling in this area...... love your channel😊😊
We all struggle with this. I figured I better make this video while I had a clear head about it. Will probably have to rewatch this myself in the future!
I love your videos, I grew up in a not so nice household your videos help me understand how to be a better mother, daughter, friend, woman. You inspire me!!
FYI we’re the same age 😝
That’s great your mom didn’t make a big deal about looks. There is a different approach to mothering and I have absolutely no regrets to nursing my babies around the clock and my grand babies are being raised the same way. I’ve often said, I didn’t need as much sleep then and I learned to relax with them in my bed or in a crib right beside mine. That time was so short.
So agree!
I am a new grandma at 70 years old. Just wanted to say that you are such a beautiful and talented young lady. Your children and husband are so blessed to have you in their lives !!!
