This is my moment: this month I've been dealing with depression and anxiety.. my guy friend noticed and told me if there was anything he could do to help, I just had to ask him. I didn't ask him for anything, because I don't want to put all my worries onto him. He promised me that he would hug me everyday until I felt better, and that he would make time for me. And I learned, that he isn't that bad of a guy. Everyone including myself thought of him as a jerk. But he's not, he's done so much for me, and gone through all my sad moments. This month, I learned that we should judge someone before knowing them. And that guys care about people just as much as we (women) care about others.
Yeah i'm like 99% sure its the back chemicals that make you stop sweating haha, but realistically our bodies were made to sweat so it sort of makes sense stoppnig that would be bad!
This past month my husband was told that he had 6 months to live due to the progression of his brain cancer. This moment stands out because it was devastating, but also because it taught me something. My husband said, "Every day is a gift." This is true, but hard words to live by. It's improbable to live each moment as if it were our last, while still going to work, doing the dishes, and helping our 11 year old son with homework, because that is not what I would choose to do with our last days. Survival instinct takes over so you can function. It allows you to believe that his death isn't written in stone, whether it is true or not. And that sometimes, strength can be found in quietly doing the dishes.
I have looked back on how my parents are getting divorced.At first I felt horrible and I cried everyday. I didn't want to be like everybody else and say oh yea my parents are divorced. I was torn to hear all of the things my parents said eachother. And then I realized that everything is going to be okay and to keep smiling. You helped me realize that. And even though its going to be hard I realized that not all bad will come out of this. So thank you
Hi Ingrid, hi everyone. This past month, my favorite moment has been the second my boyfriend and I decided that it was time for me to stop my pill so we could try to have a baby. We've been together for nearly 6 years now and we feel like we're ready so there you go, that was my favorite moment this month. Loads of kisses and love to y'all. Xxx
My moment: last Wednesday I got a phonecall from my family telling me to hurry home (to my parents place) because my dad could be dying and seemed to be waiting for us all to be by his side (three kids). He was diagnosed with liver cancer just 10 months earlier. Moments after I enter the house, he drew his last breath and by the time I was at his side, he was gone. At that moment, I became overwhelmed with sadness - my relationship with him was never good, in fact, I felt that I hated him. But I let go of all that and just felt like a girl who lost her father, someone I have so many memories with. The hardest thing is knowing that I can't see him or hear his voice ever again and the fact that we don't know where they've gone after someone dies. Is there reincarnation? Will we see them again? Standing next to him and knowing I can't talk to him anymore is a moment I will be replaying for a very long time.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I was very close to my grandpa and when I lost him it took months for me to talk about it without getting sad, depressed or angry that he was gone. One thing I can say that helped me was looking the mirror and seeing his eyes in mine and cherishing those of my family who are still in my life.
So sorry for your loss. Believe in your heart that there will come a time where you DO see him, and that he is with you everywhere you go. Stay strong darling❤️
Hi Ingrid! The Smith's Rosebud Salve does come in a tube! Ricky's NYC has them in almost every single flavor/scent! Love the video and good luck getting the tubed lip balm!!
So this is my moment, I thought if I actually wanted to put here or not. But I just needed to get this of my chest. My aunt is fighting cancer and doctors are sure she wont make it but when I came around to see her this past week(I don't come around very often) I brought a little basket of presents just as a nice little thing for her to relax. She loved it so much and she said that it was unnecessary. She was really really happy with it and it was just nice to see her happy like that knowing that she is suffering but trying to make the most of what she has left It made me realise that we all complain so much about little things while the ones that are suffering the most are so positive about things. So if you ever want to complain about something. Think twice about it. You already have a life and you are healthy. Is this really worth complaining about or not?
I'm very sorry ❤️ I know how horrible it is to have a relative with cancer, my uncle is unfortunately suffering with lung cancer, and I love him so much. I'm praying for you and your family!
I know how you feel, my grandmother died of lung cancer about 2 weeks ago...the funeral was yesterday. Its horrible, bit you will get through it! I know she is in a better place now, wherever that may be and she is no longer suffering. xoxo hope your aunt is okay! the best thing i found we can do is be there with them as much as possible ad try to be as positive as possible, even though its hard. x
This month, my great aunt was diagnosed with her third and fourth cancers, stomach and kidney. Both are progressive but both were caught at stage one. She's getting a port placed on Tuesday and Wednesday will begin her chemo. It's scary knowing that she's had to fight breast and throat cancer before but her attitude is one that I admire. She's such a fighter and she is genuinely positive about the process. She fully trusts her doctors and accepts what she is going through and about to overcome. My mother, sister and I are doing everything we can for her-grocery shopping, taking her to her doctor's appointments etc.-and it is incredibly exhausting. She's lost a huuuuge amount of weight and trying to make a cancer patient eat when they aren't hungry is no easy task. We wake up at around 6 and are nonstop helping her and doing for ourselves until sometimes 9 at night. It's worth it, but exhausting. So your videos-UA-cam in general-is my down time. I watch while I work out and it's so comforting. You're truly a friend in my head, and even though I know you don't know what I'm/we're going through, it feels like you really do care. You're not just asking us to tell you a moment to look good. You genuinely care. That's what I love about you, Ingrid. Thank you for the hard work you put into your channel. ❤️
Ingrid, this transition you are going/gone through, your newfound wisdom that you are expressing, is very admirable. You seem to be hitting the nail on the head each time with every video where you talk deeply about something, its incredible and so inspiring to the younger generation - who need this more than ever. xxxxx
The moment that stands out for me this past month was waking up on February 7th (my birthday) and running 10miles after being told 1 year ago that day that I would not be able to run again. I had back surgery 1 year ago on that day and I learned that with hard work and dedication, your body and your mind are capable of much much more than you ever thought possible! Taking care of yourself is so important! #believe
Or you could stop being shallow and learn to see the beauty and inspiration in the stories and everyday lives of the world. I really love how Ingrid is able to have so much depth and personality why'll still displaying her passion for fashion, beauty, etc.. I think Ingrid continues to have personal growth and she isn't hiding it from her viewers by simply sticking to what's popular/common. If you don't enjoy her videos or get easily annoyed for silly reasons, then I think it would be smart to not comment possibly hurtful things.
And Why shouldn't a article be inspiring? People go through things everyday... so they should be aloud to find/do something that makes them inspired and Happy.
if you cant see the beauty in someone believing in themselves and chasing their dreams after a difficult time they you are one naive person. its not merely about a "donut shop", its about the story behind it
my moment: I was recently admitted to this eating disorders unit in Stockholm, and my biggest fear was that I was gonna be the biggest one there because I am actually overweight. but as I got in to the meeting I found people of ALL sizes and body types sitting there, and we all had the same problem: anxiety with food and of gaining weight. that really surprised me. one of the other patients told me that "they are a family looking after and helping each other", and that really made me feel like I belong, someone else understands me and my problems. it made me realize that an eating disorder is not about how much you weigh, it's all in your head. and meeting some of the former, now recovered patients, made me feel like "hey, I can do this!" this was a big wake up call for me. that's the moment when I decided to soon be completely recovered. if you could talk about this in one of your videos I'd be glad, casue I want to help others understanding that they are not alone in this.
I think it's so cool of you to share this story! I don't personally struggle with an eating disorder but I can't help but be so happy for you and your newfound positivity. I wish you the best of luck with your new "family"! :)
Åh, så fantastiskt skönt att läsa om folk som dig som är så starka som vågar skriva om din ätstörning in public + att du förstår att du inte är ensam, you go girl!!
Proud of what you're becoming Ingrid. You're reaching out further than just makeup and shallow stuff, you're digging deeper and I love seeing a youtuber do that!
My moment was on September 13, 2014 when my Grandma past away. It wasn't a good memory to look back on because my family and I have lost a link that literally meant everything to us however it was a life changing experience ever since then. With that being said, it made me think to myself- without saying I don't do this thing before; to always live your life no matter how good or bad it is. If it's on a bad stage make a good, don't complain about how your life or whatever it is isn't perfect because you do not know when tomorrow is going to come.
I don't know how often you read your comments or even have a chance to read your comments with your fantastically busy life but I just wanted to take a second to say that even as a guy I find so much inspiration from your words and videos. I'd have to say that you are definitely one of my biggest UA-cam inspirations. Thanks for being so wonderful :)
My moment comes from a few nights ago, when I was laying in bed listening to music. A song came off my shuffle that my ex boyfriend of 3-4 years and I absolutely loved. It was a song that reminded me of him. And instead of being sad or resentful about it, I just remembered it as something that we loved together. So what I realized is that we constantly change, and people that, at one time, we think we'll never be able to live without could end up being people you lose from your life and still be okay. I used to think I would need him forever, and now 2 years later I barely think about him anymore. I learned that time heals wounds and that even if we don't think we'll end up okay, we will be okay. :)
My best friend's father passed away 2 days ago. He was hit by someone, was in a coma and when he was taken off of life support he passed away. My best friend is 17... She has a 14 year old sister, another 12 year old sister and a 9 year old brother. They all just lost their dad. I knew her dad too. He was always so sarcastic and always gave me rides home .. This was all so sudden and I honestly don't know how to deal with this. I'm trying to think of ways to deal with this and be there for my friend because now he's not gonna see us graduate this year... But what I learnt from this terrible moment is that it's so true when people say life is too short.. I didn't really notice it until this happened. He was here one moment and taken away all of a sudden... All I say is that instead of worrying of petty childish nonsense like " oh I hate my hair because it's too thick or too frizzy" you should just appreciate the fact that you have hair on your head! Whatever you dislike about yourself, someone has it worse than you.. But honestly there are SOO many greater things in like we should focus our energy on... I'm 17 and this is the deepest thinking I've ever thought... I'm totally not a normal 17 year old after what happened. I'm truly a different person because of this. May he rest in peace 💕
I think you have to be there for your friend now because she needs you and you need her too . So you can talk about what happened and support each other. I hope this helps
I've noticed a theme in your videos as of lately. Finding yourself, gaining self assurance, striving for your passions and then living them day in and day out. It is very beautiful to see. I've watched your videos for years and I always notice your transformations. The first was your embracing your character and personality on camera. Letting go and being your quirky self was so refreshing to see. Now your in a chiseling phase, chipping away all the access, the baggage, and creating a new, improved self. You're an amazing women. People don't understand change and that's why stones have been thrown at you for your new video style and point of view. I know I speak for the masses when I say, don't listen to negativity. You're in limelight, you're on a pedestal, and people look up to you. But there are a sea of men and women how have your back and support you 100%. Keep living your life :)
Very well said, Lauren! I will always support Ingrid in her ventures in life! If I have to be honest, I kind of wish she would interact with us more on UA-cam and Twitter and such, but I guess she has enough on her plate to worry about.
I had a moment: I realized that I am so incredibly blessed by all of the wonderful people and opportunties in my life and that I have noticed very few of them because I was so wrapped up in everyday worries/problems. My moment showed me that we need to slow down and be grateful and concious of all the wonderful things in this world.
my moment: finding out my sister had to have brain surgery, and I had to be strong to take care of things for my mom so she could leave to be with her in NYC. the entire experience brought my family closer together than ever before, and we all had infinitely more appreciation and admiration for each other's courage and strength
Great video.I am going threw stage 4 cervical cancer and start treatment March 3 for 7 weeks monday threw Friday radiation and once a week chemo.Just thought if u like u could pray for me.But just to let u know i love your videos and your honesty.
The more I listen to you the more I realise what an amazing person you are. Since you started this series I've had even more respect for you than I had before. Also, you know he's a no drama llama when he has his hater blockers on.
You made me fall in love with everything you talked about. You make me want to learn about other people's perspectives. You're simply a joy to watch! Thank you for being a genuine human being!
This month was pretty tough for me. I quit the job, got sick and end up in the hospital, I struggled with so many thoughts while being sick and in fact dis-functional. I am 23 now (I had my birthday this month as well) and during my whole life I was a dreamer. I always wanted to have different life. Far away from reality where I am not very healthy, not successful and looser. I dreamt of being beautiful and popular girl who has no problems, who's very happy and wealthy. It was my actual dreamland. I saw things in my life then closed my eyes and enjoyed being opposite and happy person. But it isn't reality. So this month I realized that nothing is going to be the way I want it to be if I keep hiding myself. I should start dreaming of being myself in my dreams. Not a totally different person. Embrace my life, my possibilities, my health, my personality, my social status and everything else and start dreaming and reaching my dreams. I hope that one day I will be happy. I believe that everyone should be happy. Even myself.
You are the first person I have heard mention The 100's. Me and my daughter have been hooked on this show from day one. I didn't even know that it was a book. I feel like there are a lot of people sleeping on this show.
I have had a lot of little moments in the past few months. My sister had my nephew Felix in December of 2014, She was not due till April 2015. So My nephew was born 4 months early, weighing 1 pound 7 ounces. He is a trooper! I'm so proud of him and every time I get to see him at the hospital is a special moment. I cry sometimes, but only because my heart is so full of love for him and I'm just amazed by him. He has had trials and test and setbacks, but our little man just thrives through them all. We know God has him in his hand and we know He is the one in control, but still we daily have to truly trust in that. That is the hard part. He is growing everyday and we are truly blessed to have him in our lives. Everyday we look towards his bright future and rejoice in all the little triumphs and milestones he reaches. We cant hold him yet, but you better believe we get as close to him as we can! Yes our hearts can be heavy with thoughts and worries that go with have a preemie baby, but when we stop and think of Felix, all we can do is rejoice.
FYI I also struggled with the Smith's Minted Rose lip balm for a long time and I wished the packaging was different but I was at Anthropologie and discovered that it is sold in a squeeze tube! I hope this is helpful and I love your videos!! (especially the chatty ones/advice because I don't have an older sister to tell me all of these things;)
My special moment is my elder brothers birthday and how despite not being so creative i made him a special gift which will always remain close to mine and his heart forever and how whenever he is in a bad mood or feels lonely he can just read it and feel special..... I made a book with a poem i wrote on him, special points on him and his qualities.....
My favorite moment of last month was when I was really down because of the situation me and my husband are in, having no job or savings left. I was so sad, but he was there and he took care of me and let me know he would do anything to see me smile. He showed me that it's not about the good moments in life, but about who is there for you during the bad ones.
This is really personal but last week I reached out to get help for my depression, eating disorder, self harm and anxiety. This Thursday I am going to see a therapist to hopefully make peace with my mind and body. Ive been this way for a good solid 5 years and I want it to be gone. I was...well am the kind of person that hates to ask for help because I feel as if I can do everything myself and I don't want people think of me as a weak individual. The past week I've learned that sometimes it is okay to ask for help and it is okay not to be okay.
Love that you are starting to do videos with deeper substance and talking about issues that matter! My moment this month was realizing that I have the power to be happy if I choose to be. I felt very stressed this month with work and it was overwhelming at times. However, there is always something good to be thankful for. Focusing on the positive and doing things you love can help when things get hard. 😊
One of the most influential moments of the last month was a lecture with a really inspiring, caring, altruistic doctor who is doing amazing things in our community.
My moment: Realizing that my job is poisoning my life.....😪I now have to gather the courage to leave it and find something else to do that will make me happier😊
I was there for a long time (3 years) and have started a new job in February. Its been a big change and the jury's still out but I can say, leave. Don't let your fear keep you from doing things, because we are all scared. DM me if you'd like to or need to talk. Good luck!!
1. My heart goes out to all those posters who have been affected by cancer (either themselves or loved ones). You are in my thoughts and prayers. 2. Why is Ingrid in New York? did I miss something?
Oh wow okay, so that's how you pronounce L'Occitane - I mentioned it in my Favourites video (and thankfully I said I'm not sure how to pronounce it before hand...) but I couldn't of got any more wrong hahaha! Love the necklace also! x
My moment was the joy and excitement I felt when I was walking off the plane and seeing my long distance boyfriend for the first time in months. Seeing his face after a long day of delays and sitting in the airport, nothing could have made me happier.
I love how you turned such a seemingly superficial favorites video into a deep and thoughtful one that showed me snippets of who you are. Your outlook on life is so inspiring! I don't have a distinct moment but you gave me an idea: I think I should right down a moment each month/week/day because I simply have a hard time remembering and I want to be able to look back. I also want to get into writing so this might help me. Sending hugs! OO
I found my deodorant at Whole Foods and it is aluminum, parabens, phthlates, and propylene glycol free, so basically it's super natural. The brand is Jāsön. I believe Toms of Maine sells natural deodorant and you can find it at Target or CVS. Hope this helps anyone looking for a relatively "natural" deodorant! Have a beautiful day! :)
Also, if anyone knows of a good top coat that doesn't cause your nails polish to peel, please let me know! I use OPI, Seche Vite, and a gel top coat, but every time, my polish peels off like rubber within a week!!! Also, I found that when I used Seche Vite, my nail polish chipped easily.
Moment: just yesterday i was able to see some family i have not seen in months and it felt so refreshing and i really had to appreciate that moment of being able to catch up with them and was able to keep my sanity because family means everything to me.
My Moment: Just Yesterday my bestfriend moved to Minnesota (6 hours away from where I live.) This entire month we've spent a lot of time together and with all of our other friends. I threw a surprise party for him and all of our friends made really personal gifts for him. I don't usually like to get close to people because all of the people I have gotten close to have left but in a horrible way. This time was different. I learned that friendships see a lot more important than I ever realized and not to take time for granted. But I've also learned that friendships can take place anywhere, no matter how much distance is in between each person. He is still lmy best friend even though he is six hours away and this experience has taught me that friendships and relationships take effort but when you put in the effort something amazing comes out of it.
Scientists make no such link. Only chemophobes who want to promote "natural" products. www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/causes-prevention/risk-factors/myths/antiperspirants-fact-sheet
Not specifically cancer. But why would anyone want aluminum running through their blood stream? I guess a tiny bit is okay, but everyone uses deodorant everyday! (Hopefully). So all those tiny amounts of harsh chemicals add up, and that's not good for you. That's why people that became more aware of this stopped using drugstore deodorants. Not just deodorant but everything they put on their bodies because they're socially acceptable. Like toothpaste itself has hundreds of chemicals, one including the same chemical that frozen car locks need. Look it up. There's books and sites on this research it's such an eye opener if you do.
Oh my gosh, like none of her favorites are sponsored besides an article! Especially that Tresemme sea foam mousse. I can actually trust her opinion on that product now. (I don't care if you guys say it's rude and everything. Some things Ingrid has had in her favorites were sponsored and she didn't give that much info on why it was her favorite so that's why I said what I just said. I couldn't trust Ingrid's opinion on things because of that.)
I totally agree, trusting people who are part of a sponsorship is kinda risky... btw, I just posted a feb. faves video as well and I know that this may be annoying but if you like these types of videos you should totally check it out :-)
Ashley Smith Lol, I did. But I came just to check out her channel once in a while. Like I said, I don't care about your comments, and it's true anyways. XD
My church just finished our annual Missions Conference and we met some new missionaries this year. I so inspired by their dedication to go to these foreign places & the love that they have for these people.
My moment: exactly one week ago my mom was fighting for her life. She gave birth to my little brother but had lost heaps and heaps of blood and it wasn't stopping. At that moment when we heard what was happening, I felt so helpless.. there was like nothing I could do for her. I just sat there shaking and praying for her life. Thank God she survived due to several operations and a good team of surgeons. I don't know how to express how grateful I am. I have realised the importance of my mother in my and my families' life and regret every harsh word I might have said to her in my life... I will never give her pain again, like seriously never!
The Rosebud lip balm does also come in a squeeze tube!!! I used to have the same problem and then found it in American Apparel once.This website also has it: www.drugstore.com/smiths-minted-rose-lip-balm/qxp433295
anthropology also sells it: www.anthropologie.com/anthro/product/993407.jsp?color=102&cm_mmc=Google-_-PLA-_-US+-+Shopping+-+Accessories-_-Fragrance&adpos=1o1&creative=62808480564&device=c&matchtype=&network=g&gclid=CjwKEAiAjsunBRCy3LSlz_PJqCgSJACJY7yKVQO8COscy-AtAIX9BgUGO9OkCcfEkRlcNeTIgYcVuxoCOfrw_wcB#/
A good moment I that sticks out to me this month actually happened yesterday. My dad has lots and lots of footage of my family throughout the years that we've never actually been able to see until recently (I'm 22 now) and I watched a few snippets of my brother and I when we were 3 and 2 years old and how we interacted and it just really made me happy looking at it because it was funny, cute and made me very grateful for my family, which is always a good thing to think about :)
I had a good moment this month! I'm currently in my high school's annual musical and it's all been really stressful and I haven't gotten a lot of sleep or had a lot of time to myself. One day when I broke down and started crying at a rehearsal from all the stress, one of my best friends came and found me to make sure I was okay and he gave me a really long hug and told me he loved me. It was a really great moment for me to realize how lucky i am to have people in my life who care about me so much!!!
Can you please stop with the motivational speaking...You're just a person who makes youtube videos, then tries to capitalize off them...stick to what you're good at.
I love how you use this platform to send messages out there and how you talk about things that need to be talked about. I've sat here for hours thinking about life and what I want to gain from it. And it was all because of you. I don't know if you know how much of an impact it has on people when you sit down and be straight honest with us. I wanted you to know that you are doing a great job and I wish people here on youtube would be more open about everything. So thank you
Ingrid, why do you ALWAYS make me cry?! lol This is a simple favorites video, and you still manage to turn it into something more.... and then there are tears.
This is the best video ever! I adore this change and this new perspective that's coming through with your videos. The moment for me this week was organizing a huge kitchen dinner with my building (I share a kitchen with 12 other exchange students) and everyone cooked something from their country so we had everything from fajitas, to homemade curry, to tiramisu! It makes you enjoy and appreciate different cultures !
Hi!!! I love your videos!!!! One moment this month that literally made me cry was when my boyfriend, who has had the worst luck ever in the past couple months-he lost his home, was going through rough times at school, definitely at home and had a little health burden to worry about-he got into the university of his dreams, got a car to help him get around and found a new home where someone actually cares for him and will take care of him well. All of that good news happen in a span of 2 days. And I still can believe how it all worked out. But bottom line, keep pushing and believing it will get better, cause it will! Something I learned from you Ingrid!! ❤❤❤❤❤
I am almost 25 years old and I am getting married this Saturday. I live with my mom and sister and chose to live at home while going through college. I had a moment last Saturday where I realized about that time a week later I'll not be staying at the place I've called home for 25 years ever again. My life is about to completely change, but its an exciting time that Im choosing to embrace father that feel anxious or nervous about :) Love your videos Ingrid, you're adorable
Definitely the moment I picked up my sister from the airport, because I hadn't seen her in months and it was so nice to see her again! She lives across the country so when she visits, it's a real treat. We had a blast the entire week she was here. I also discovered my new favorite sushi place in LA with her. So many great moments that week.
Your videos bring me so much joy. Thank you! My favorite moment this month was the last week of february. I had a super amazing week, plus my birthday on feb 28th, after months of struggling with life challenges. Overcoming difficulties is an incredibly good feeling.
Your videos are top notch. I love your realness and your willingness to talk so openly about what moves you and how you're so supportive. Very empowering!
What I really, really love about your videos, especially your monthly favorite videos, is that you put so much effort and thought into the things you show us. You don't just choose beauty related stuff, but you also use the audience you have to bring us topics we should be talking and thinking about. You bring us unique stores and important messages. And I think this is why I love your videos. You interact with us, you inspire and encourages us to think. Life is not only about make up but it is also about so much more. Thank you. XO
I absolutely love your new favorites video set up. It's so nice to hear from a vlogger with some substance. Yes we all love hair, nails, and fashion but there's way more to life and you are not afraid of sharing the things that mean something to you. Keep doing your thing girl! You are a beautiful soul!
The moment I treasure this month is the one I felt my baby moving in my tummy for the first time, OMG what a miracle. It was incredible. I will be a first time mom in July and I realized in this moment that I wasn't alone in my body. So powerfull and I feel strong for it. Don't know why. I miss him/her when I don't feel mouvement now ;). Sending love from Paris, obviously :)
The moment I'm looking back on this month is when I finally stood up for myself at work because I was being treating unfairly be a colleague. It was a success and I'm so much happier and enjoying my job.
First off, Ingrid, I just want to say how much I love your favorites videos! They're different than other beauty gurus' videos because not only do you talk about beauty products, but you talk about people, books, and things that truly matter, and that gives your videos so much substance! I really love that, so thank you a ton :) My moment was this past month when I went home to Tennessee from Utah for my grandmother's funeral. I had classes and work, but I dropped it all because my family means the world to me. Being back in my small, southern hometown with friends and family to celebrate my grandma's beautiful life was just what I needed. I was reminded that life isn't all about grades and boys and work. I'm a Mormon, so I also was able to start my paperwork to serve as a full-time missionary while I was home! On the plane ride back to Utah, it was like I had taken a step back and could see how beautiful life was, and that the life I am leading is one that I love. I saw my potential, my capacity to overcome hard things and still be joyful, regardless of my circumstances. I realized how loved I truly am, and that no matter how many times I feel betrayed, heartbroken, or alone, I am strong and I will survive anything that tries to tear me down. I will always be me, and I love who I am. I'm so excited for the future! To keep going to school, to serve my mission, to get married and start a family. Life is beautiful. I'm so thankful for that moment when I finally saw it all through clear lenses. That moment has become my life, and that is the most incredible part of this story.
My moment (which may not count) was last night in a dream I had. I lost my grandmother, who I was very close to, last August and it made me very sad to lose her. I won't be able to do all the things I had hoped we'd do together and this is my Senior year of high school and it has been very hard to get through all the changes and decisions without her to talk to. But last night's dream was a wonderful reminder of her and she was crying after awhile as if she was telling me that she missed me just as much as I did her and it was nice to see her happy and healthy again. I kind of hope I keep dreaming about her so that she will continue to stay in my life. Thanks for all the inspirtion and advice you give, Ingrid! You're a wonder to watch! MJ
I would have to say I've had two moments lately. The realization that others are going through similar transformations in their lives as I am and I should except the journey as it comes rather than fighting against them, it could be beneficial! And my second moment was realizing how precious life is. I was just hospitalized for a server virus and I would have to say that I once thought I was never scared of death, but in that week I have never been more scared to lose my life and those around me. Taking in the moments with my mom and appreciating all that she had done for me and seeing how supporting and loving my friends were just showed me that life is too short to dwindle on anything less than something that brings you joy and love.
When you make a video it really feels like you're talking to me and connecting with me. Whenever I am sad I can watch your videos and smile. Your messages are always amazing and powering. Thank you for helping me believe in myself. (And I'm not the only weird person)
I DEFINITELY LOVE the direction your channel is heading! More food for thoughts, less beauty only. And how you are putting your own spin and thoughts on each. Love it!
I loved this video, Ingrid! :) I really appreciate your positivity and I always feel inspired after watching you. A moment I had this past month that stuck out to me was meeting my family at the airport after being away, then again when I had to say bye. Goodbyes are always so hard but they make hellos that much better!
My 'moment' this month would have to reconnecting with my cousin. We grew up together but led completely different lives. She recently moved back in to our home town and is growing up to be a fantastic woman overocming so many obstacles that have come her way. It makes me smile and I am glad that life and god has given us another chance to be sisters :) xx
My moment was last weekend. I went to go visit my friends in college (I dropped out after a semester) and people were saying that they missed me and that they were so happy to see me. Some of these people I didn't even think had noticed my absence but they did and it really taught me about the impact I have on people. Whether it is good or bad I impact every person I meet. I came to realize that I want to be a more positive person, I want people to miss me when I'm gone, not because anybody regrets my leaving or they are sad because I left but just because I made a positive impact on them. So that was my moment and what I learned from it.
In the past month I have had many many great moments but the moment that I feel is most important and makes me the most happy is when I found out that I had got a part in my schools play! I wasn't nervous during the audition like I have been in previous auditions so I realized that when you aren't nervous you show who you really are and you look confident, people can tell when you are nervous so from now on I will not be nervous for auditions. :) love you Ingrid
Dear Ingrid, I've been watching you for a while now and you have always been an inspiration to me.. while I was battling depression your vlogmas videos would give a little ray of sunshine in my darkest days.. You are so beautiful inside & out.. And your positivity & happiness radiates through every single one of your videos (even the ones when you are not having a good day like in your vlog channel) you have inspired me to be a more positive better version of myself.. I am still on my journey and sometimes get down for no reason but when that happens I just turn to my phone & go through quotes on my notes (some which have came form you) and even journal sometimes.. I just want to thank you for being such a little ray of sunshine to my life and for inspiring me everyday to be a little better.. To treat others like I would like to be treated but most importantly to treat my self like I deserve.. Thank you for being such a good role model and for always being yourself.. You are the only youtuber I can sit down and watch video more than ten minutes long lol.. You style of videos lately with all of the serenity have been my favorites.. Please don't stop making videos and please don't stop being yourself., you inspire people, that is something not everyone can do.. I hope you are having a great day or night depending on when you read this (if you even read it.. I hope you do). And once again thank you for everything.. 💗💗
I just love when you do these videos. I used to watch your monthly favorite videos for the makeup, but I really enjoy the subjects you bring up at the end of the video.
my moment: this morning when I found out that today is the first day of march! I was with two of my absolute closest friends, and we were just sitting there sipping some yummy hot tea. I cherish simple moments like that, especially because the realization reminded me that I am going to New York and London at the end of the month ( I live in LA)
My moment: I am studying abroad in Spain this semester after living in New Jersey for my entire life. I was at a bar and met up with some international students from all over the world. One of them was a girl from Lithuania and we had a conversation about our backgrounds and experiences. She is a model and works in the fashion industry and has traveled the world for her job, and she has lived in a ton of different countries. We were talking about how Americans often see Europe as a dangerous place, but she said that living in New York City was the scariest in her experience. She was also a part of the Lithuanian military for a year, and she talked about her pride and love for her country, saying that she would die for it. She was stoic but she also had a fire in her, wanting to spread her passion and concern for Lithuania. It was a national identity like I have never seen. Living in the American bubble for my whole life, hearing this girl's perspectives and experiences changed the way that I think of the world. Once someone in Spain told me that America was (arguably) "the most important country in the world." But would I die for it, like this girl would die for her country? How are my perspectives of national safety skewed, and based on stereotypes, not experience? Do I really know anything about life at all, having such a privileged upbringing in the developed world and limited cultural knowledge? My head is still spinning.
The 100 is an incredible show! The characters, especially the women, are so amazing, the story is edge-of-your-seat intense and there's such great representation! I nearly squealed with joy when you mentioned it as a favourite!
I just love how you make your favorites videos now, i love how you make a statement and do it in an unique manner. To see you do this makes me apreciate your work even more, and see you not only as a beauty guru, but a very strong human being who has a word to say, not only about a lipstick or mascara, but a notions that many of us tend to forget about and not take nto consideration. I do enjoy watching you Ingrid, and see how ou evolved in this wonderfull woman with strong personal views. I only wish that here, in my country,(i live in Romania) people could step away from their comfort zone and talk more about their opinions and being frightened by judment from others. Hope you have a great day!
So my moment: So I've been diagnosed with epilepsy for years and I recently has surgery for it (VNS) but this month I couldn't cope with it, it was making my life more worse than it's meant to, and it really hit me if I will ever be free from epilepsy. It felt like I was being caged in my own thoughts but I thought more on the positive and it really make me thing even if your in thee worst place it can get better! Love your videos!
This is my moment: this month I've been dealing with depression and anxiety.. my guy friend noticed and told me if there was anything he could do to help, I just had to ask him. I didn't ask him for anything, because I don't want to put all my worries onto him. He promised me that he would hug me everyday until I felt better, and that he would make time for me. And I learned, that he isn't that bad of a guy. Everyone including myself thought of him as a jerk. But he's not, he's done so much for me, and gone through all my sad moments. This month, I learned that we should judge someone before knowing them. And that guys care about people just as much as we (women) care about others.
This is so true! I hope you continue to feel better :)
Keep that friend of yours! He seems amazing! I hope you feel better and I know you can get through it! (:
Yes, surround yourself with positive people and positive things
Talia Holly Kimberly Nguyen Blu3AquaMarine Thank you guys, means a lot
I'm glad you've got some support during a difficult time.
Next time you're look for an aluminium free deodorant try the health food store! They usually have heaps :)
I love your videos (:
Aw thank you :)
Yeah i'm like 99% sure its the back chemicals that make you stop sweating haha, but realistically our bodies were made to sweat so it sort of makes sense stoppnig that would be bad!
ahh katerina ur flawless❤️❤️
This past month my husband was told that he had 6 months to live due to the progression of his brain cancer. This moment stands out because it was devastating, but also because it taught me something. My husband said, "Every day is a gift." This is true, but hard words to live by. It's improbable to live each moment as if it were our last, while still going to work, doing the dishes, and helping our 11 year old son with homework, because that is not what I would choose to do with our last days. Survival instinct takes over so you can function. It allows you to believe that his death isn't written in stone, whether it is true or not. And that sometimes, strength can be found in quietly doing the dishes.
this is really beautiful, I admire your strength
Cocoa Kent Thank you, Cocoa. It's nice to know someone read what I wrote here.
Stay strong! I will pray for your husband :)
I have looked back on how my parents are getting divorced.At first I felt horrible and I cried everyday. I didn't want to be like everybody else and say oh yea my parents are divorced. I was torn to hear all of the things my parents said eachother. And then I realized that everything is going to be okay and to keep smiling. You helped me realize that. And even though its going to be hard I realized that not all bad will come out of this. So thank you
Love and light to you! ☺️
Hi Ingrid, hi everyone.
This past month, my favorite moment has been the second my boyfriend and I decided that it was time for me to stop my pill so we could try to have a baby. We've been together for nearly 6 years now and we feel like we're ready so there you go, that was my favorite moment this month.
Loads of kisses and love to y'all. Xxx
Aww much love to you two:)
Good luck!!xoxoxo
My moment: last Wednesday I got a phonecall from my family telling me to hurry home (to my parents place) because my dad could be dying and seemed to be waiting for us all to be by his side (three kids). He was diagnosed with liver cancer just 10 months earlier. Moments after I enter the house, he drew his last breath and by the time I was at his side, he was gone. At that moment, I became overwhelmed with sadness - my relationship with him was never good, in fact, I felt that I hated him. But I let go of all that and just felt like a girl who lost her father, someone I have so many memories with. The hardest thing is knowing that I can't see him or hear his voice ever again and the fact that we don't know where they've gone after someone dies. Is there reincarnation? Will we see them again? Standing next to him and knowing I can't talk to him anymore is a moment I will be replaying for a very long time.
Stay strong we're here for you and love you
I'm so sorry for your loss. I was very close to my grandpa and when I lost him it took months for me to talk about it without getting sad, depressed or angry that he was gone. One thing I can say that helped me was looking the mirror and seeing his eyes in mine and cherishing those of my family who are still in my life.
I am so sorry for your loss. I believe that you will see your dad again and be with him. Stay strong it will all be ok. ❤
So sorry for your loss. Believe in your heart that there will come a time where you DO see him, and that he is with you everywhere you go. Stay strong darling❤️
I'm sorry for your loss. But you will get through this with God!
Hi Ingrid! The Smith's Rosebud Salve does come in a tube! Ricky's NYC has them in almost every single flavor/scent! Love the video and good luck getting the tubed lip balm!!
Please thumbs up this so she can see it!
Also UO!
And in Anthropologie. Some Sephora has them too!
And they sell them at Urban Outfitters!

So this is my moment, I thought if I actually wanted to put here or not. But I just needed to get this of my chest.
My aunt is fighting cancer and doctors are sure she wont make it but when I came around to see her this past week(I don't come around very often) I brought a little basket of presents just as a nice little thing for her to relax. She loved it so much and she said that it was unnecessary. She was really really happy with it and it was just nice to see her happy like that knowing that she is suffering but trying to make the most of what she has left
It made me realise that we all complain so much about little things while the ones that are suffering the most are so positive about things. So if you ever want to complain about something. Think twice about it. You already have a life and you are healthy. Is this really worth complaining about or not?
Im so sorry, Prayers to you and your family x
I'm very sorry ❤️ I know how horrible it is to have a relative with cancer, my uncle is unfortunately suffering with lung cancer, and I love him so much. I'm praying for you and your family!
I know how you feel and I'm so sorry ❤️ I'm praying for you and your family 💞
I know how you feel, my grandmother died of lung cancer about 2 weeks ago...the funeral was yesterday. Its horrible, bit you will get through it! I know she is in a better place now, wherever that may be and she is no longer suffering. xoxo
hope your aunt is okay! the best thing i found we can do is be there with them as much as possible ad try to be as positive as possible, even though its hard. x
You are amazing😄 u basically explained everything I think sometimes. But sometimes I'm super whiny. Hard to think li,e that
This month, my great aunt was diagnosed with her third and fourth cancers, stomach and kidney. Both are progressive but both were caught at stage one. She's getting a port placed on Tuesday and Wednesday will begin her chemo. It's scary knowing that she's had to fight breast and throat cancer before but her attitude is one that I admire. She's such a fighter and she is genuinely positive about the process. She fully trusts her doctors and accepts what she is going through and about to overcome. My mother, sister and I are doing everything we can for her-grocery shopping, taking her to her doctor's appointments etc.-and it is incredibly exhausting. She's lost a huuuuge amount of weight and trying to make a cancer patient eat when they aren't hungry is no easy task. We wake up at around 6 and are nonstop helping her and doing for ourselves until sometimes 9 at night. It's worth it, but exhausting. So your videos-UA-cam in general-is my down time. I watch while I work out and it's so comforting. You're truly a friend in my head, and even though I know you don't know what I'm/we're going through, it feels like you really do care. You're not just asking us to tell you a moment to look good. You genuinely care. That's what I love about you, Ingrid. Thank you for the hard work you put into your channel. ❤️
Wow! I really hope the best for you and your family! Stay strong
rubasauris thank you! ♥
***** thank you! ♥
Ingrid, this transition you are going/gone through, your newfound wisdom that you are expressing, is very admirable. You seem to be hitting the nail on the head each time with every video where you talk deeply about something, its incredible and so inspiring to the younger generation - who need this more than ever. xxxxx
The moment that stands out for me this past month was waking up on February 7th (my birthday) and running 10miles after being told 1 year ago that day that I would not be able to run again. I had back surgery 1 year ago on that day and I learned that with hard work and dedication, your body and your mind are capable of much much more than you ever thought possible! Taking care of yourself is so important! #believe
alright enough with the inspirational stuff. like somehow a donut shop has been turned into an inspirational story....its donuts...
It's not about doughnuts. It's about the article. Please, no one likes a sook.
Or you could stop being shallow and learn to see the beauty and inspiration in the stories and everyday lives of the world. I really love how Ingrid is able to have so much depth and personality why'll still displaying her passion for fashion, beauty, etc.. I think Ingrid continues to have personal growth and she isn't hiding it from her viewers by simply sticking to what's popular/common. If you don't enjoy her videos or get easily annoyed for silly reasons, then I think it would be smart to not comment possibly hurtful things.
And Why shouldn't a article be inspiring? People go through things everyday... so they should be aloud to find/do something that makes them inspired and Happy.
Gracie Mae YES!!! I hate shallow, negative people! I love Ingrid and her videos because she sees the positive and the beauty in everything.
if you cant see the beauty in someone believing in themselves and chasing their dreams after a difficult time they you are one naive person. its not merely about a "donut shop", its about the story behind it
Really need to check out that l'occitane deodorant, I've been on the hunt for a more natural option! And LOVING your hair!
my moment: I was recently admitted to this eating disorders unit in Stockholm, and my biggest fear was that I was gonna be the biggest one there because I am actually overweight. but as I got in to the meeting I found people of ALL sizes and body types sitting there, and we all had the same problem: anxiety with food and of gaining weight. that really surprised me. one of the other patients told me that "they are a family looking after and helping each other", and that really made me feel like I belong, someone else understands me and my problems. it made me realize that an eating disorder is not about how much you weigh, it's all in your head. and meeting some of the former, now recovered patients, made me feel like "hey, I can do this!" this was a big wake up call for me. that's the moment when I decided to soon be completely recovered. if you could talk about this in one of your videos I'd be glad, casue I want to help others understanding that they are not alone in this.
I think it's so cool of you to share this story! I don't personally struggle with an eating disorder but I can't help but be so happy for you and your newfound positivity. I wish you the best of luck with your new "family"! :)
Åh, så fantastiskt skönt att läsa om folk som dig som är så starka som vågar skriva om din ätstörning in public + att du förstår att du inte är ensam, you go girl!!
Skyscraper96
thank you so much :)
flumeish
tack vad gullig du är!
Proud of what you're becoming Ingrid. You're reaching out further than just makeup and shallow stuff, you're digging deeper and I love seeing a youtuber do that!
My moment was on September 13, 2014 when my Grandma past away. It wasn't a good memory to look back on because my family and I have lost a link that literally meant everything to us however it was a life changing experience ever since then. With that being said, it made me think to myself- without saying I don't do this thing before; to always live your life no matter how good or bad it is. If it's on a bad stage make a good, don't complain about how your life or whatever it is isn't perfect because you do not know when tomorrow is going to come.
I've been there and couldn't agree more. Stay strong. xx
the rosebud lip balm does come in a squeeze tube! I think I saw it at bath and body works but if it's not there just look it up online! :)
They're also at Sephora.
and Anthropologie too :)
And American apparel!
Aaaand urban!
oh really?! thanks :)
Ingrid's favourites are always so interesting!! I always want to buy the products after :) xx
I don't know how often you read your comments or even have a chance to read your comments with your fantastically busy life but I just wanted to take a second to say that even as a guy I find so much inspiration from your words and videos. I'd have to say that you are definitely one of my biggest UA-cam inspirations. Thanks for being so wonderful :)
My moment comes from a few nights ago, when I was laying in bed listening to music. A song came off my shuffle that my ex boyfriend of 3-4 years and I absolutely loved. It was a song that reminded me of him. And instead of being sad or resentful about it, I just remembered it as something that we loved together. So what I realized is that we constantly change, and people that, at one time, we think we'll never be able to live without could end up being people you lose from your life and still be okay. I used to think I would need him forever, and now 2 years later I barely think about him anymore. I learned that time heals wounds and that even if we don't think we'll end up okay, we will be okay. :)
My best friend's father passed away 2 days ago. He was hit by someone, was in a coma and when he was taken off of life support he passed away. My best friend is 17... She has a 14 year old sister, another 12 year old sister and a 9 year old brother. They all just lost their dad. I knew her dad too. He was always so sarcastic and always gave me rides home .. This was all so sudden and I honestly don't know how to deal with this. I'm trying to think of ways to deal with this and be there for my friend because now he's not gonna see us graduate this year... But what I learnt from this terrible moment is that it's so true when people say life is too short.. I didn't really notice it until this happened. He was here one moment and taken away all of a sudden... All I say is that instead of worrying of petty childish nonsense like " oh I hate my hair because it's too thick or too frizzy" you should just appreciate the fact that you have hair on your head! Whatever you dislike about yourself, someone has it worse than you.. But honestly there are SOO many greater things in like we should focus our energy on... I'm 17 and this is the deepest thinking I've ever thought... I'm totally not a normal 17 year old after what happened. I'm truly a different person because of this. May he rest in peace 💕
I think you have to be there for your friend now because she needs you and you need her too . So you can talk about what happened and support each other. I hope this helps
thank you any advice i get helps :)
WOAHHHH, $600 dollar necklace?!?! Ill pass but they are so beautiful.
LOL yep! I looked that one up too. I wanted one, but not anymore.
***** there's a reason why it's expensive though. It's made with real gold.
It's actually not a bad price for a high quality necklace!
AWWW I wanted one so badly! You just spoiled my mood :( jk but seriously...crap.
That's what I just said! Adorable and love the idea but knock a zero of that please!
you are so beautiful ingrid, inside & out
RACHEL! I LOVE YOUR VIDS!!
rachel! omg hey!
i love u oheboki in arabic
I've noticed a theme in your videos as of lately. Finding yourself, gaining self assurance, striving for your passions and then living them day in and day out. It is very beautiful to see. I've watched your videos for years and I always notice your transformations. The first was your embracing your character and personality on camera. Letting go and being your quirky self was so refreshing to see. Now your in a chiseling phase, chipping away all the access, the baggage, and creating a new, improved self. You're an amazing women. People don't understand change and that's why stones have been thrown at you for your new video style and point of view. I know I speak for the masses when I say, don't listen to negativity. You're in limelight, you're on a pedestal, and people look up to you. But there are a sea of men and women how have your back and support you 100%. Keep living your life :)
Very well said, Lauren! I will always support Ingrid in her ventures in life! If I have to be honest, I kind of wish she would interact with us more on UA-cam and Twitter and such, but I guess she has enough on her plate to worry about.
I had a moment: I realized that I am so incredibly blessed by all of the wonderful people and opportunties in my life and that I have noticed very few of them because I was so wrapped up in everyday worries/problems. My moment showed me that we need to slow down and be grateful and concious of all the wonderful things in this world.
*I JUST LOVE YOUR AWKWARDNESS*! I'm pretty awkward as well! :D (you can see from my favourites video)
Ahh.. the feels!
Btw love your lipstick!!
***** Aww! Thank youuu
The 100 IS SO GOOD. YES. nothing like it on TV. the ruling girls are amazing. season 2 gets even better omg
I want to get that book for my mom, she's been going through something similar
my moment: finding out my sister had to have brain surgery, and I had to be strong to take care of things for my mom so she could leave to be with her in NYC. the entire experience brought my family closer together than ever before, and we all had infinitely more appreciation and admiration for each other's courage and strength
Great video.I am going threw stage 4 cervical cancer and start treatment March 3 for 7 weeks monday threw Friday radiation and once a week chemo.Just thought if u like u could pray for me.But just to let u know i love your videos and your honesty.
Much love and good luck! Your so strong and prayers are going out to you

Hey wanna sub for sub 😀
The more I listen to you the more I realise what an amazing person you are. Since you started this series I've had even more respect for you than I had before. Also, you know he's a no drama llama when he has his hater blockers on.
You made me fall in love with everything you talked about. You make me want to learn about other people's perspectives. You're simply a joy to watch! Thank you for being a genuine human being!
lipstick precision is killing me
OH MY GOD I LOVE UR VIDS
AQUAMARINECOLORS_ THANK YOU! LOVE YOU FOR WATCHING
This month was pretty tough for me. I quit the job, got sick and end up in the hospital, I struggled with so many thoughts while being sick and in fact dis-functional. I am 23 now (I had my birthday this month as well) and during my whole life I was a dreamer. I always wanted to have different life. Far away from reality where I am not very healthy, not successful and looser. I dreamt of being beautiful and popular girl who has no problems, who's very happy and wealthy. It was my actual dreamland. I saw things in my life then closed my eyes and enjoyed being opposite and happy person. But it isn't reality. So this month I realized that nothing is going to be the way I want it to be if I keep hiding myself. I should start dreaming of being myself in my dreams. Not a totally different person. Embrace my life, my possibilities, my health, my personality, my social status and everything else and start dreaming and reaching my dreams. I hope that one day I will be happy. I believe that everyone should be happy. Even myself.
Always remember that it gets better, in the future all those troubles you've been through will make you so strong xxx :)
Aw thank you so much! You made my day!)
Aw no problem!! (:
You are the first person I have heard mention The 100's. Me and my daughter have been hooked on this show from day one. I didn't even know that it was a book. I feel like there are a lot of people sleeping on this show.
I have had a lot of little moments in the past few months. My sister had my nephew Felix in December of 2014, She was not due till April 2015. So My nephew was born 4 months early, weighing 1 pound 7 ounces. He is a trooper! I'm so proud of him and every time I get to see him at the hospital is a special moment. I cry sometimes, but only because my heart is so full of love for him and I'm just amazed by him. He has had trials and test and setbacks, but our little man just thrives through them all. We know God has him in his hand and we know He is the one in control, but still we daily have to truly trust in that. That is the hard part. He is growing everyday and we are truly blessed to have him in our lives. Everyday we look towards his bright future and rejoice in all the little triumphs and milestones he reaches. We cant hold him yet, but you better believe we get as close to him as we can! Yes our hearts can be heavy with thoughts and worries that go with have a preemie baby, but when we stop and think of Felix, all we can do is rejoice.
Hooooray! A whole video without any sponsored products! I love it when I know these REALLY are your favorites.
FYI I also struggled with the Smith's Minted Rose lip balm for a long time and I wished the packaging was different but I was at Anthropologie and discovered that it is sold in a squeeze tube! I hope this is helpful and I love your videos!! (especially the chatty ones/advice because I don't have an older sister to tell me all of these things;)

My special moment is my elder brothers birthday and how despite not being so creative i made him a special gift which will always remain close to mine and his heart forever and how whenever he is in a bad mood or feels lonely he can just read it and feel special..... I made a book with a poem i wrote on him, special points on him and his qualities.....
That's beautiful and so sweet
Looks up necklace because necklace because it's amazing and I want one..... $600 never mind haha
geeez
Holy shit that's esspenssssive
I can't believe someone can just spend 600$ on the spot. For a necklace. WOW.
sbiiine
i know right?! that's crazy!
Who has time or the inclination to take the time to 'price check' something simply to post a snide comment about the item being expensive...??
Ingird's videos have been so great lately!! a breath of fresh air compared to other videos on the internet! love you Ingrid xx
My favorite moment of last month was when I was really down because of the situation me and my husband are in, having no job or savings left. I was so sad, but he was there and he took care of me and let me know he would do anything to see me smile. He showed me that it's not about the good moments in life, but about who is there for you during the bad ones.
Awww Ingrid! You have such an adorable jumper!
-A,x
This is really personal but last week I reached out to get help for my depression, eating disorder, self harm and anxiety. This Thursday I am going to see a therapist to hopefully make peace with my mind and body. Ive been this way for a good solid 5 years and I want it to be gone. I was...well am the kind of person that hates to ask for help because I feel as if I can do everything myself and I don't want people think of me as a weak individual. The past week I've learned that sometimes it is okay to ask for help and it is okay not to be okay.
I live in Montreal and it's -25' Celsius and she is saying it's cold a 9'
9F
9 Fahrenheit = - 13 Celsius but that is still not super cold compared to 25C below!
OMG I LIVE IN MONTREAL TOOOOOOO
I'm in Ottawa and it's actually -9 for me! It feels so nice and "warm"! :)
Haha! I live in Florida and it's 46 degrees outside and I am literally freezing! 😂
Love that you are starting to do videos with deeper substance and talking about issues that matter! My moment this month was realizing that I have the power to be happy if I choose to be. I felt very stressed this month with work and it was overwhelming at times. However, there is always something good to be thankful for. Focusing on the positive and doing things you love can help when things get hard. 😊
One of the most influential moments of the last month was a lecture with a really inspiring, caring, altruistic doctor who is doing amazing things in our community.
My moment: Realizing that my job is poisoning my life.....😪I now have to gather the courage to leave it and find something else to do that will make me happier😊
Thank you Anna Kalencinski:)
I was there for a long time (3 years) and have started a new job in February. Its been a big change and the jury's still out but I can say, leave. Don't let your fear keep you from doing things, because we are all scared. DM me if you'd like to or need to talk. Good luck!!
1. My heart goes out to all those posters who have been affected by cancer (either themselves or loved ones). You are in my thoughts and prayers.
2. Why is Ingrid in New York? did I miss something?
She's been a guest/judge on Project Runway Threads- or some tv show like that ;)
Becca Granda
oh, I thought that was filmed in LA? guess not! :-)
She moved in ny i think, look at her last vlog on thegridmonster
yes, I saw that, she said she is bi-coastal now, but she doesn't say why.
Oh wow okay, so that's how you pronounce L'Occitane - I mentioned it in my Favourites video (and thankfully I said I'm not sure how to pronounce it before hand...) but I couldn't of got any more wrong hahaha! Love the necklace also! x
I'm pretty sure she pronounced it wrong... :)
Actually, her pronounciation is pretty accurate :)
to be fair I'd of probably pronounced it like you did :D
That's not how you pronounce it, it says on the site that it's pronounced 'lock-see-tan'
It's actually lox-ee-tan :)
My moment was the joy and excitement I felt when I was walking off the plane and seeing my long distance boyfriend for the first time in months. Seeing his face after a long day of delays and sitting in the airport, nothing could have made me happier.
I love how you turned such a seemingly superficial favorites video into a deep and thoughtful one that showed me snippets of who you are. Your outlook on life is so inspiring! I don't have a distinct moment but you gave me an idea: I think I should right down a moment each month/week/day because I simply have a hard time remembering and I want to be able to look back. I also want to get into writing so this might help me. Sending hugs! OO
I found my deodorant at Whole Foods and it is aluminum, parabens, phthlates, and propylene glycol free, so basically it's super natural. The brand is Jāsön. I believe Toms of Maine sells natural deodorant and you can find it at Target or CVS. Hope this helps anyone looking for a relatively "natural" deodorant! Have a beautiful day! :)
Also, if anyone knows of a good top coat that doesn't cause your nails polish to peel, please let me know! I use OPI, Seche Vite, and a gel top coat, but every time, my polish peels off like rubber within a week!!! Also, I found that when I used Seche Vite, my nail polish chipped easily.
Natalie Grace I don't use all three at once. I meant to say I've used them in the past.
Natalie Grace Try Essie's Good to Go top coat! I think it's better than Seche Vite. It still gives the super glossy look but doesn't peel easily.
Natalie Grace I know what you mean. Topcoats ALWAYS make my nails peel. I've heard that "sticky" topcoats help, but I've never found one near me.
A former coworker of mine, his parents own and operate a bakery in Mississippi called Tater-Nuts where they make donuts from potatoes..
we have spudnuts here!
I live in south mississippi where they are located, and that's my favorite donut place!!
Love that place!!!!!!! Shout out to my fellow coasties :)
If only the necklace wasn't $600! womp womp.
Elizabeth J that dumb thing is $600? wtf
Elizabeth J if my friend bought a 600 dollar necklace i would slap her. then never talk to her again XD
Moment: just yesterday i was able to see some family i have not seen in months and it felt so refreshing and i really had to appreciate that moment of being able to catch up with them and was able to keep my sanity because family means everything to me.
My Moment: Just Yesterday my bestfriend moved to Minnesota (6 hours away from where I live.) This entire month we've spent a lot of time together and with all of our other friends. I threw a surprise party for him and all of our friends made really personal gifts for him. I don't usually like to get close to people because all of the people I have gotten close to have left but in a horrible way. This time was different. I learned that friendships see a lot more important than I ever realized and not to take time for granted. But I've also learned that friendships can take place anywhere, no matter how much distance is in between each person. He is still lmy best friend even though he is six hours away and this experience has taught me that friendships and relationships take effort but when you put in the effort something amazing comes out of it.
ngrid I'm starting to hate watching you.........because you have such good taste I want everything you recommend it's breaking my wallet. Lol!
Why do you like deodorant w/o aluminum? :)
Scientists think it may have a link to cancer.
Scientists make no such link. Only chemophobes who want to promote "natural" products. www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/causes-prevention/risk-factors/myths/antiperspirants-fact-sheet
There are some concerns that aluminum may be linked to Alzheimer's disease.
Not specifically cancer. But why would anyone want aluminum running through their blood stream? I guess a tiny bit is okay, but everyone uses deodorant everyday! (Hopefully). So all those tiny amounts of harsh chemicals add up, and that's not good for you. That's why people that became more aware of this stopped using drugstore deodorants. Not just deodorant but everything they put on their bodies because they're socially acceptable. Like toothpaste itself has hundreds of chemicals, one including the same chemical that frozen car locks need. Look it up. There's books and sites on this research it's such an eye opener if you do.
Because scientist didn't prove the link to all those health problems doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Why take the risk?
Oh my gosh, like none of her favorites are sponsored besides an article! Especially that Tresemme sea foam mousse. I can actually trust her opinion on that product now. (I don't care if you guys say it's rude and everything. Some things Ingrid has had in her favorites were sponsored and she didn't give that much info on why it was her favorite so that's why I said what I just said. I couldn't trust Ingrid's opinion on things because of that.)
I totally agree, trusting people who are part of a sponsorship is kinda risky...
btw, I just posted a feb. faves video as well and I know that this may be annoying but if you like these types of videos you should totally check it out :-)
Michaella Cesarini I'll check it out. :)
thank you so much!!
Just unsubscribe. Lmao please, you sound stupid
Ashley Smith Lol, I did. But I came just to check out her channel once in a while. Like I said, I don't care about your comments, and it's true anyways. XD
My church just finished our annual Missions Conference and we met some new missionaries this year. I so inspired by their dedication to go to these foreign places & the love that they have for these people.
My moment: exactly one week ago my mom was fighting for her life. She gave birth to my little brother but had lost heaps and heaps of blood and it wasn't stopping. At that moment when we heard what was happening, I felt so helpless.. there was like nothing I could do for her. I just sat there shaking and praying for her life. Thank God she survived due to several operations and a good team of surgeons. I don't know how to express how grateful I am. I have realised the importance of my mother in my and my families' life and regret every harsh word I might have said to her in my life... I will never give her pain again, like seriously never!
I can't believe you signed up for vessel ...
What is vessel?
Is that a bad thing, Holly?
Yes it is a bad thing! Look it up guys! instanerddd ashley m
Just went to Beth Macri's website bc I thought Ingrid's necklace was awesome but it costs $600...I don't have that kinda money lol :/
The Rosebud lip balm does also come in a squeeze tube!!! I used to have the same problem and then found it in American Apparel once.This website also has it: www.drugstore.com/smiths-minted-rose-lip-balm/qxp433295
anthropology also sells it: www.anthropologie.com/anthro/product/993407.jsp?color=102&cm_mmc=Google-_-PLA-_-US+-+Shopping+-+Accessories-_-Fragrance&adpos=1o1&creative=62808480564&device=c&matchtype=&network=g&gclid=CjwKEAiAjsunBRCy3LSlz_PJqCgSJACJY7yKVQO8COscy-AtAIX9BgUGO9OkCcfEkRlcNeTIgYcVuxoCOfrw_wcB#/
A good moment I that sticks out to me this month actually happened yesterday. My dad has lots and lots of footage of my family throughout the years that we've never actually been able to see until recently (I'm 22 now) and I watched a few snippets of my brother and I when we were 3 and 2 years old and how we interacted and it just really made me happy looking at it because it was funny, cute and made me very grateful for my family, which is always a good thing to think about :)
I had a good moment this month! I'm currently in my high school's annual musical and it's all been really stressful and I haven't gotten a lot of sleep or had a lot of time to myself. One day when I broke down and started crying at a rehearsal from all the stress, one of my best friends came and found me to make sure I was okay and he gave me a really long hug and told me he loved me. It was a really great moment for me to realize how lucky i am to have people in my life who care about me so much!!!
Can you please stop with the motivational speaking...You're just a person who makes youtube videos, then tries to capitalize off them...stick to what you're good at.
I love how you use this platform to send messages out there and how you talk about things that need to be talked about. I've sat here for hours thinking about life and what I want to gain from it. And it was all because of you. I don't know if you know how much of an impact it has on people when you sit down and be straight honest with us. I wanted you to know that you are doing a great job and I wish people here on youtube would be more open about everything. So thank you
Ingrid, why do you ALWAYS make me cry?! lol This is a simple favorites video, and you still manage to turn it into something more.... and then there are tears.
This is the best video ever! I adore this change and this new perspective that's coming through with your videos. The moment for me this week was organizing a huge kitchen dinner with my building (I share a kitchen with 12 other exchange students) and everyone cooked something from their country so we had everything from fajitas, to homemade curry, to tiramisu! It makes you enjoy and appreciate different cultures !
I LOVE how your favourites aren't just beauty, but cover a whole range of things. this was so useful and inspirational
Hi!!! I love your videos!!!!
One moment this month that literally made me cry was when my boyfriend, who has had the worst luck ever in the past couple months-he lost his home, was going through rough times at school, definitely at home and had a little health burden to worry about-he got into the university of his dreams, got a car to help him get around and found a new home where someone actually cares for him and will take care of him well. All of that good news happen in a span of 2 days. And I still can believe how it all worked out. But bottom line, keep pushing and believing it will get better, cause it will! Something I learned from you Ingrid!! ❤❤❤❤❤
I am almost 25 years old and I am getting married this Saturday. I live with my mom and sister and chose to live at home while going through college. I had a moment last Saturday where I realized about that time a week later I'll not be staying at the place I've called home for 25 years ever again. My life is about to completely change, but its an exciting time that Im choosing to embrace father that feel anxious or nervous about :) Love your videos Ingrid, you're adorable
Definitely the moment I picked up my sister from the airport, because I hadn't seen her in months and it was so nice to see her again! She lives across the country so when she visits, it's a real treat. We had a blast the entire week she was here. I also discovered my new favorite sushi place in LA with her. So many great moments that week.
Your videos bring me so much joy. Thank you! My favorite moment this month was the last week of february. I had a super amazing week, plus my birthday on feb 28th, after months of struggling with life challenges. Overcoming difficulties is an incredibly good feeling.
Your videos are top notch. I love your realness and your willingness to talk so openly about what moves you and how you're so supportive. Very empowering!
What I really, really love about your videos, especially your monthly favorite videos, is that you put so much effort and thought into the things you show us. You don't just choose beauty related stuff, but you also use the audience you have to bring us topics we should be talking and thinking about. You bring us unique stores and important messages. And I think this is why I love your videos. You interact with us, you inspire and encourages us to think. Life is not only about make up but it is also about so much more. Thank you. XO
I absolutely love your new favorites video set up. It's so nice to hear from a vlogger with some substance. Yes we all love hair, nails, and fashion but there's way more to life and you are not afraid of sharing the things that mean something to you. Keep doing your thing girl! You are a beautiful soul!
The moment I treasure this month is the one I felt my baby moving in my tummy for the first time, OMG what a miracle. It was incredible. I will be a first time mom in July and I realized in this moment that I wasn't alone in my body. So powerfull and I feel strong for it. Don't know why. I miss him/her when I don't feel mouvement now ;). Sending love from Paris, obviously :)
The moment I'm looking back on this month is when I finally stood up for myself at work because I was being treating unfairly be a colleague. It was a success and I'm so much happier and enjoying my job.
First off, Ingrid, I just want to say how much I love your favorites videos! They're different than other beauty gurus' videos because not only do you talk about beauty products, but you talk about people, books, and things that truly matter, and that gives your videos so much substance! I really love that, so thank you a ton :)
My moment was this past month when I went home to Tennessee from Utah for my grandmother's funeral. I had classes and work, but I dropped it all because my family means the world to me. Being back in my small, southern hometown with friends and family to celebrate my grandma's beautiful life was just what I needed. I was reminded that life isn't all about grades and boys and work. I'm a Mormon, so I also was able to start my paperwork to serve as a full-time missionary while I was home! On the plane ride back to Utah, it was like I had taken a step back and could see how beautiful life was, and that the life I am leading is one that I love. I saw my potential, my capacity to overcome hard things and still be joyful, regardless of my circumstances. I realized how loved I truly am, and that no matter how many times I feel betrayed, heartbroken, or alone, I am strong and I will survive anything that tries to tear me down. I will always be me, and I love who I am. I'm so excited for the future! To keep going to school, to serve my mission, to get married and start a family. Life is beautiful. I'm so thankful for that moment when I finally saw it all through clear lenses. That moment has become my life, and that is the most incredible part of this story.
I love Ingrid's inspirational videos. She's posting the videos she wants to do and that's all that matters☺️
When I heard you say the 100 I started crying. I love that show more than anything. I'm so happy you are part of the club. I love clexa and linctavia!
My moment (which may not count) was last night in a dream I had. I lost my grandmother, who I was very close to, last August and it made me very sad to lose her. I won't be able to do all the things I had hoped we'd do together and this is my Senior year of high school and it has been very hard to get through all the changes and decisions without her to talk to. But last night's dream was a wonderful reminder of her and she was crying after awhile as if she was telling me that she missed me just as much as I did her and it was nice to see her happy and healthy again. I kind of hope I keep dreaming about her so that she will continue to stay in my life.
Thanks for all the inspirtion and advice you give, Ingrid! You're a wonder to watch!
MJ
I would have to say I've had two moments lately. The realization that others are going through similar transformations in their lives as I am and I should except the journey as it comes rather than fighting against them, it could be beneficial! And my second moment was realizing how precious life is. I was just hospitalized for a server virus and I would have to say that I once thought I was never scared of death, but in that week I have never been more scared to lose my life and those around me. Taking in the moments with my mom and appreciating all that she had done for me and seeing how supporting and loving my friends were just showed me that life is too short to dwindle on anything less than something that brings you joy and love.
When you make a video it really feels like you're talking to me and connecting with me. Whenever I am sad I can watch your videos and smile. Your messages are always amazing and powering. Thank you for helping me believe in myself. (And I'm not the only weird person)
I struggle with depression and recently moved to California less than two months ago and it's helped me a little bit being closer to more family!
your hair looks AMAZING like this!
Love that you talk more than just beauty and fashion products in your monthly favorites video!
I DEFINITELY LOVE the direction your channel is heading! More food for thoughts, less beauty only. And how you are putting your own spin and thoughts on each. Love it!
I loved this video, Ingrid! :) I really appreciate your positivity and I always feel inspired after watching you. A moment I had this past month that stuck out to me was meeting my family at the airport after being away, then again when I had to say bye. Goodbyes are always so hard but they make hellos that much better!
My 'moment' this month would have to reconnecting with my cousin. We grew up together but led completely different lives. She recently moved back in to our home town and is growing up to be a fantastic woman overocming so many obstacles that have come her way. It makes me smile and I am glad that life and god has given us another chance to be sisters :) xx
My moment was last weekend. I went to go visit my friends in college (I dropped out after a semester) and people were saying that they missed me and that they were so happy to see me. Some of these people I didn't even think had noticed my absence but they did and it really taught me about the impact I have on people. Whether it is good or bad I impact every person I meet. I came to realize that I want to be a more positive person, I want people to miss me when I'm gone, not because anybody regrets my leaving or they are sad because I left but just because I made a positive impact on them. So that was my moment and what I learned from it.
Wow! That's a great thought! :)
Sophie Liesenfeld Thank you, I thought so as well!
In the past month I have had many many great moments but the moment that I feel is most important and makes me the most happy is when I found out that I had got a part in my schools play! I wasn't nervous during the audition like I have been in previous auditions so I realized that when you aren't nervous you show who you really are and you look confident, people can tell when you are nervous so from now on I will not be nervous for auditions. :) love you Ingrid
Dear Ingrid, I've been watching you for a while now and you have always been an inspiration to me.. while I was battling depression your vlogmas videos would give a little ray of sunshine in my darkest days.. You are so beautiful inside & out.. And your positivity & happiness radiates through every single one of your videos (even the ones when you are not having a good day like in your vlog channel) you have inspired me to be a more positive better version of myself.. I am still on my journey and sometimes get down for no reason but when that happens I just turn to my phone & go through quotes on my notes (some which have came form you) and even journal sometimes.. I just want to thank you for being such a little ray of sunshine to my life and for inspiring me everyday to be a little better.. To treat others like I would like to be treated but most importantly to treat my self like I deserve.. Thank you for being such a good role model and for always being yourself.. You are the only youtuber I can sit down and watch video more than ten minutes long lol.. You style of videos lately with all of the serenity have been my favorites.. Please don't stop making videos and please don't stop being yourself., you inspire people, that is something not everyone can do.. I hope you are having a great day or night depending on when you read this (if you even read it.. I hope you do). And once again thank you for everything.. 💗💗
I just love when you do these videos. I used to watch your monthly favorite videos for the makeup, but I really enjoy the subjects you bring up at the end of the video.
my moment: this morning when I found out that today is the first day of march! I was with two of my absolute closest friends, and we were just sitting there sipping some yummy hot tea. I cherish simple moments like that, especially because the realization reminded me that I am going to New York and London at the end of the month ( I live in LA)
My moment: I am studying abroad in Spain this semester after living in New Jersey for my entire life. I was at a bar and met up with some international students from all over the world. One of them was a girl from Lithuania and we had a conversation about our backgrounds and experiences. She is a model and works in the fashion industry and has traveled the world for her job, and she has lived in a ton of different countries. We were talking about how Americans often see Europe as a dangerous place, but she said that living in New York City was the scariest in her experience. She was also a part of the Lithuanian military for a year, and she talked about her pride and love for her country, saying that she would die for it. She was stoic but she also had a fire in her, wanting to spread her passion and concern for Lithuania. It was a national identity like I have never seen.
Living in the American bubble for my whole life, hearing this girl's perspectives and experiences changed the way that I think of the world. Once someone in Spain told me that America was (arguably) "the most important country in the world." But would I die for it, like this girl would die for her country? How are my perspectives of national safety skewed, and based on stereotypes, not experience? Do I really know anything about life at all, having such a privileged upbringing in the developed world and limited cultural knowledge? My head is still spinning.
The 100 is an incredible show! The characters, especially the women, are so amazing, the story is edge-of-your-seat intense and there's such great representation! I nearly squealed with joy when you mentioned it as a favourite!
I just love how you make your favorites videos now, i love how you make a statement and do it in an unique manner. To see you do this makes me apreciate your work even more, and see you not only as a beauty guru, but a very strong human being who has a word to say, not only about a lipstick or mascara, but a notions that many of us tend to forget about and not take nto consideration. I do enjoy watching you Ingrid, and see how ou evolved in this wonderfull woman with strong personal views. I only wish that here, in my country,(i live in Romania) people could step away from their comfort zone and talk more about their opinions and being frightened by judment from others. Hope you have a great day!
So my moment:
So I've been diagnosed with epilepsy for years and I recently has surgery for it (VNS) but this month I couldn't cope with it, it was making my life more worse than it's meant to, and it really hit me if I will ever be free from epilepsy. It felt like I was being caged in my own thoughts but I thought more on the positive and it really make me thing even if your in thee worst place it can get better! Love your videos!
