New Year's resolutions? Goals for the new year? Share below. ⬇
Starting an adult ballet dance class, and attending a renaissance faire!!
Reading more, watching less Netflix, exercise daily, not crying myself to sleep when I think about my life
Get out my toxic job!
@@NoriBearr These are A++++++ I would also love to do both!!! I have fond memories attending Renaissance festivals with my parents when I was a kid! Thank you for sharing.
My new years resolution is to stick to my new years resolutions.
Your reflections on your past reminded me of something I tell myself often. Suffering is pain plus resistance. You can’t avoid pain but you can choose acceptance rather than resistance and that’s how you heal and move forward. I think dwelling and ruminating on things is a form of resistance to healing and growth. Thanks for sharing!
I think I needed to read this because I have just recently dropped very toxic family members that have hurt me mentally and emotionally. I can't dwell on the past but I can move forward and work on myself. I know that's probably not exactly what you're talking about but that's what I took from it.
Suffering = pain * resistance
I love how real you are. It isn't easy to find people like you on the internet, let alone in real life.
💯
Omg she's so cute, her smile 😍 may God bless her and her beautiful parents. Thanks for this vlog Julia, I hope you have a great day 🤍
I was mugged in Philadelphia a few years ago and I didn’t tell anyone. I still blame myself for it and it haunts me. New motherhood makes us go down memory lane in a weird way! Glad you’re ok, and you’re absolutely right. Dwelling over things that are out of our hands is a recipe for chronic unhappiness.
Julia, I have been following you for 5 years, and almost everything you posted: I feel like next to you, thank you for always sharing your experiences your life updates! Your little babygirl is so beautiful! Stay safe and happy💗🌸🙏🏻
Thank you for sticking around ❤❤❤❤❤ Best wishes to you as well!
Postpartum hair loss was so freaking traumatic 🤣. Mine lasted about 3 months. Over the next few months, you'll have a ton of hair growing back in at once and sticking out everywhere. It's particularly noticeable around the hairline and can look like little bangs. Now my son is 21 months old, and my hair is totally grown out and normal.
Never thought I would say it but really looking forward to those crazy baby bangs! It IS intense!!
Oh my gosh! Me too! When I COULD take a shower so much hair would come out! I lost more again when I weaned my babies from breastfeeding. I've done it three times and always lost hair at 3 months and then at a year when I would wean. But it's so worth it! Us mommies give everything of ourselves and our bodies, superhumans!!!
Same here haha I actually straightened mine and wore them as bangs 😂
I thought the crazy bangs looked cute on me, I bet they'll look great on you!
Mine lasted two to three months.
I kept a quart sized plastic bucket in my bathroom.
I saved all my hair as it fell out and tilled almost all of it into the garden to help keep pests away from my sugar snap peas 😂
I used rosemary oil on my scalp every night and a rosemary hair rinse once a week. This helped me grow my hair quick after having my son.
I do this too, actually it’s scientifically proven that it has some positive effects.
Not me sitting here reading this with rosemary oil in my hair right now 😅 it really does work!
Was about to comment the same thing!
I'm so sorry that happened to you, Julia. I know it's so awful to be violated in any manner. I have been trying to get over being sexually assaulted for so long now, but it still haunts my thoughts often. Thank you for sharing your story and your advice. I often watch your ASMR videos to try to quell my anxiety so I can sleep. I love them. Congratulations again on your precious baby. I know you're a great mother bc you're so nurturing, kind, open and loving. 💛
❤😢❤
Gosh I’ve been subscribed for a while now and it’s crazy the transformation your life has taken and yet your still you (in a good way ofc ahah), and I can’t believe how quickly honour has grown!! She’s so sweet
🙂❤️❤️❤️
I’ve been taking biotin for my hair and I found out that it could cause false thyroid test results. Also not exactly sure if that was the cause but I always felt extremely tired so I decided to stop taking the biotin supplement. Surprisingly I started feeling much better. My hair loss, I intuitively think, was a result of sleep apnea due to my deviated septum, which caused my body to hypo-ventilate and not get enough oxygen. Had septoplasty done in November and it looks like my hair doesn’t fall as much. I don’t have kids yet so can’t share in your postpartum experience but I hope your endocrinologist can help you with your thyroid issues. Also Honor is so sweet and cute and getting bigger with each video! Y’all are just amazing!
Wow I am reading up on this now and had no idea know it could affect thyroid lab results! I take Biotin as well and am definitely going to stop for the time being. Thank you so much for sharing that!! ❤❤❤❤
@@itsblitzzz it gave me the worst case of cystic acne I've ever had.
She’s absolutely gorgeous 🥹 1:22
I totally agree with letting go of things you can’t change , I used to dwell on so many things that were out of my control , but now I just try and find solution and take a lesson from it.
Thats daddy’s future drummer girl god bless such an adorable baby girl ❤️❤️❤️
Commenting because I’m so early. What an ADORABLE little babe 🥹 Can’t wait to watch the rest of this after work
Love following you on Instagram! You and Nick are amazing parents!
Wow, I just made it to the end of your video. Thanks so much for sharing. I was abused by a family member when I was young and it has been quite the anxiety filled journey. It's really hard to ask yourself so many silent questions and not burden your loved ones/ keep quiet in relationships as to not upset the apple cart when someone takes advantage of you. Our experiences were different, but I drew a congruency between them. I really wish I would have heard your story about five years ago when I came forward to my family about what happened to me and a few others. Love and light, my friend.
Aww she’s so adorable ❤
Hi Mama! I would try to increase the protein in your diet. When I dealt with hair loss I noticed it was around the time I wasn’t incorporating a healthy amount of protein. At that time I was mostly eating fruits, veggies and grains. The minute I increased my overall protein my hair started thickening and growing again. Also I started doing hot oil treatments 30-1 hr before washing my hair with a oil blend I make with castor oil as a carrier and I add in peppermint, rosemary, and lavender. If you have scalp issues you can add tea tree. You also can change the carrier oil as I know castor is too thick for some ppl. Massage into your scalp then let it sit for about 30 min and wash it out in the shower. It’s best to leave the oil in but I would recommend using it as an wash out oil when your first starting just to get used to it.
*I've been enjoying watching your Mom Journey* 💕👶🏻
Thank you, Jailyn!!
I danced for a while and it was really hard to deal with how much I was actually on my own there. It was the kind of environment where sometimes you may need someone there for you and absolutely NOBODY is! But it also taught me how to make sure I was ok all by myself
Hey guys, what a lovely little family.
Regarding the blender, I've had one that broke and it was my own fault. Always make sure that you clean the blade and dry it ASAP after using. If the rubber ring is wet for too long it will bend out of shape which will ruin the blender long term. Also make sure that the lid is always correctly screwed on or it might also leak liquid into the power base. Lastly really don't fill it up more than it says, trust me 😂
My PP hair loss started around 4/5 months and went on until my son was about a year 😫 give or take. It was 6 months or so. It was brutal and annoying more than anything lol nothing I tried helped 🤣😅 just remember- everything with littles and postpartum struggles are temporary!
But also, she is so beautiful ❤️ I hope postpartum is being kind to you. I’ve been following you for literally years and have loved watching you grow and bloom into motherhood/parenthood
See such a spark in you since you have Baby girl ..She makes you & Nick glow.. ♥️✨♥️✨♥️
There is a fabulous stoic quote for this lesson. "Dwell on the beauty of life" -MA
Oh girl! That’s nothing compared to how much hair I still lose 😂 but I do have a lot of hair. Every time I had a baby the postpartum hair loss took me by surprise. I have 4 kids! Just the amount of chunks of hair that I pulled out multiple times during my shower was scary!! I didn’t understand how I didn’t have bald spots 😂
So happy to see another video from you ❤
What a beautiful baby. Such deep, soulful eyes just like mama. As far as your story, I’m sorry you went through that experience. Motherhood definitely makes one more introspective and things will continue to come up. Please forgive yourself for the unkindnesses you and others have put you through and know that you’re stronger for it. You bring so much relief to so many, you deserve a break, too. Virtual hugs to you ❤
Random note here to Nick that as the father of a young baby, as their personality comes out and especially at the 2 year mark it gets more awesome. Not that you all aren’t enjoying it now but quality of life can take big hit first 2 years-but it passes
such a PRETTY BABY
For 2023 I want to worry less and do my best to live in the present moment. Questioning my thoughts and realizing they are transient as well as not identifying with them is another goal. I want to be kind to people and express how I feel about them in a positive way even if it may be out of my comfort zone. Your baby girl is so sweet and made me smile when she smiled at the camera. The love you feel for her can be felt through your videos.
That’s the amount of hair you lose?? I lose like 3x that every shower!! 6 months pp
It makes me so happy to see you in this stage of life , you are an inspiration to me 🤍
Bone broth is a great source of collagen!
As a mom, I absolutely relate to the constant kissing of your baby. My son is 12 and I still feel the urge to always kiss his head. ❤
She’s such a lovely little baby! Thank you for sharing your joy with us, it’s an especially good reminder at this time of year about what’s most important 😊
The story's point very resonated with me, because I'm having weird relationship dynamics in my university right now. And what you were saying about not to dwell on them was so true, that I realized the only sufferer is me right now and I have to move on about this whole situation. Thank you and love you 💖
Thank you Julia for new video. You are amazing, don't you ever change.
The iRestore low level light therapy helmet can help with hair loss. I follow a lot of dermatologists and many of them recommend it. It is expensive but easy to incorporate into your routine.
Thank you for sharing your story and reflections on it, Julia! Your thoughts really resonated with me. For almost the last 2 years (and ongoing) my wife and I have been stuck on the extremely shitty end of a custody battle for our teenage daughter. It has been absolute hell on my mental health, and I feel perpetually trapped in a cycle that oscillates between temporary "healing" and being overwhelmed with hopelessness and anger. I want to move forward with a stronger commitment to letting go of the things in this situation that I have absolutely no control over and to stop allowing others' reprehensible actions poison the love and time that we get to spend with our daughter.
Wishing you and your fam all the peace and happiness through this new year! 🤍
In 2023, my fiancé and I will buy a home! Claiming it!
You will!!!!
Getting robbed is pretty traumatic. You have to adapt to a new reality that the world is maybe not the place we thought that it was. It takes time. The way it shatters our reality is intense. Also a lot of the fear remain trapped in the body. It also takes time for your body to release the fear. I am sorry you had to go through that.
I plan to eat better this year…it’s a silly goal but I want my relationship with food to become a source of joy, not frustration or guilt.
I add about 4-7 drops of rosemary essential oil into my palm and mix with my shampoo each time I wash my hair. Worked amazing
I literally cannot watch any vlogs besides yours. You have such a calming presence and way of telling stories. Missed these and so glad you’re back! ❤💕
She is so pretty! This big beautiful eyes.
I'm a female Soldier, 20 years, and have experienced many bad things, this reminder got me through mental challenges, change the way you look at things and the things you look at change:)
Hey babes! Just in case you didn’t read the instructions, you can push and twist the cup and it’ll stay in place :) you don’t have to hold down the whole time!
OMG your baby is so beautiful! Congratulations to your family.
So happy for you and your family! Congratulations!!!
I am always happy to see a notification that you have uploaded a video. Thank you for posting this and giving us an update.
I appreciate so much your sharing your past and about what happened to you. It resonated with me, especially the benefits of letting go of that which you cannot change. There hasn’t been any resolution in particular I have made thus far, but
I would love to be able to lose the many negative feelings I harbor about things in my life that I have no control over. That being situations that happened in the past and the ones that are happening now. Until then, I am stuck in a huge mental rut.
Can't remember exactly how long the hair loss lasted but it grew back and then I surprise little bangs. So there's that! Also good call on the Nutribullet - I found those really good for making little purees too when the baby starts solids. It makes it easy to make small batches of different purees :)
the amount of Honor content ♥♥ bless you my heart is exploding! looks like she's got natural musical talent too :D
Your daughter has gotten so big and is such a cutie! Beautiful little family you have there! ❤️
First off your family is so beautiful!!! My hair started falling out when my baby boy turned 4 months. I too thought I would be exempt from hair loss due to the sole fact that I thought it would begin around 2 month mark. Fortunately it only lasted 3 months and now it falls a “normal” amount and have a bunch of new baby hairs so I look like porcupine 😅 my mom gave me a bunch of natural remedies for hair growth the popular one is the rosemary water which I did begin incorporating, I would also use jojoba oil the night before washing and sleep with a silk hair wrap (on the nights i didn’t have oil) to keep my hair from getting everywhere.
Thank you for this message. I needed to hear this. I struggle with depression & anxiety & when tough life events happen, I tend to hold on to it. I know it's self-sabotaging & I needed this reminder. Thank you, Julia!
Things that helped me with hair worth: microneedling, massage and castor oil. All of those things help with blood flow and I started seeing lots of baby hairs after couple of months
Hi Julia,
I've been following your vids for yrs & find you very inspiring. Honor is so beautiful & I'm so happy everything is going well for you all. I'm perimenopausal (never had kids) & the hair loss im experiencing is alarming at times. Interesting, as you said, the loss of estrogen & its effects. Wishing you, Nick & Honor all the best in 2023 & always. Love from a Canadian fan.💞
Nutribullet is seriously my second favorite kitchen appliance behind my rice maker. Excellent purchase.
Feeling more excited about it than I should 😆
Sweet girl you are wise beyond your years!
Yes postpartum hair loss is certainly a thing. It’ll come back and you’ll be amazed at how thick it will feel.
Your precious Honor is beautiful!!!! You guys are such loving parents!
Sooooo, is it just me or am I the only one that loses much more hair than this and I am not post-partum? I lose A LOT of hair when I take a shower!
It could be normal for you if you are going many days in between hair washes. Or, if you have much more hair to begin with. Checking with a derm never hurts if you’re worried.
@@itsblitzzz That's probably what it is, I don't wash my hair very often- just two to three times a week! And I do have thick hair. Fine, but thick!
hey julia thanks for sharing a peek into your life. if you push down then turn the nutribullet you don’t have to hold it down the whole time
edit: i really appreciate how and what you share. you’ve helped me in so many ways and i just wanted to say thanks. Honor is so lucky to have you both
Really good advice about letting go of past difficulties or disappointment.
Love seeing Honor grow ❤
I so needed your talk regarding your story. This video came out at such perfect timing. I tend to dwell too long on the negative :(
How has your postpartum been? You’re little one is so beautiful. I’m so happy for you guys after your journey of pregnancy. You guys are doing amazing, from what you show. ❤️❤️. Again I’m so happy for you guys ❤️amazing parents.
The postpartum period has been pretty smooth for me so far with the exception of postpartum thyroiditis/thyroid issues. Hoping they will resolve in the coming months🙏🏻. Thank you so much for the kind words! ❤️
Thank you for sharing this. I find my mom does this quite often and has done so in a way that was projected onto my brother and I our whole lives. I haven't been able to find the right words to talk to her about it because she has suffered and I never wanted her to feel like I didn't care or support her. But the way you've explained it was done perfectly. I hope I can articulate to her in a way like you have that helps her find some healing ❤
I don't know if it would work for post partum hair loss, but I can tell you what worked for me for regular hair loss. I had stopped eating peanut butter, nuts, and seeds due to counting calories. My hair started falling out excessively, and increasingly, it became alarming. Winter came, and I had chapped hands. I started massaging jojoba oil on them before bed, and I started eating peanut butter, nuts, and seeds for the essential fatty acids. That had solved a previous skin problem for me, so I tried it. It worked for my chapped hands AND my hair stopped falling out! I think it's the vitamin E in them as well as the essential fatty acids.
Your little angel is SO cute and sweet!! For postpartum hair loss, just take your prenatals, iron (bloodbuilder by megafood), and I would suggest some highly bioavailable curcumin (like thorin brand). Also be very gentle, don't brush when wet, air dry, use silk pillowcases. Mine is still falling out years later, I swear, but I feel like when I keep it shorter I lose less so maybe doing a chop will help, especially if you feel it looks thin (I don't think it does).
The theft was probably a set up by the club owners. The same thing happened to me. Betrayal sucks. Once I let it go, it set me free. Thank you for sharing, it really helps! 🙏👏❤️
I'm sorry this happening to you! I contemplated this theory at the time (an "inside job") but I honestly don't think this was the case given the circumstances and the fact that it was an isolated incident. I don't think the owners of a club like this would risk putting their business in the spotlight for a quick buck and a cell phone. Baltimore has a lot of crime and businesses like this are an easy target, sadly.
julia, thank you for the advice at the end. You are so right and it’s something I’m currently struggling with, moving on from a unpleasant event. I didn’t even know i needed this video but you just happened to upload something i needed to hear.
Had my baby just before you. Post partum hair loss for me peaked at 5 months and then I started to see some baby hairs- yay! I really focused on getting lots of protein and fats because I found that's always helped my hormones. But topically I applied oil+ essential oils to the front of my hairline and used a scrub brush to really promote circulation before I washed my hair every week. I feel like I noticed big changes right around starting that so I do believe it helped some. Hang in there I hope it stops for you soon!! I also chopped my hair off post baby after it was butt length pregnant so I'm like reallllly missing my hair all around 🤣 I feel you ❤️
Someone probably said this but the nutribullet you push in like you did and then twist and it locks in so you don’t have to hold it.
I have lupus and lose hair a lot. Keeping my hair trimmed and lots of layers helps. I hope you find some supplements to help ❤
Yours actually doesn’t look bad momma! I lost HUGE wads of hair, like tightly balled up the size of a golf ball every other day. Every time I showered I had to look in the mirror to make sure I had any left on my head! 😂 But it settled down by 6 months pp.
How are you feeling, mentally and emotionally? I didn’t have PPD with my 8 year old daughter but my son is 18 months and I’m still battling it.
I’ve loved watching you blossom in motherhood. You’ve never looked more radiant! Motherhood suits you beautiful 😍🥰
Thank you for talking about moving on from negative thought cycles. I’ve been in a deep one for the past few years after a relationship ended traumatically. Because I didn’t have any closure, I felt like I couldn’t move on. It still doesn’t feel okay completely but when I think back at who I was then, I try to congratulate myself on how much stronger I am now.
So happy for your realization!! 💕💕
wow. i really needed this. i've been coming to the same conclusion recently re: not torturing myself by reliving shitty situations and not letting it go because i can't get past how unfair it was. it's an anchor keeping me stuck, and ultimately i'm punishing myself over and over again for something that was bad enough to experience the first time. thanks for sharing. ps your baby is adorable
Hi Julia, Honor is a precious little doll baby. I am much older than you and probably most of your subscribers here but menopause has caused me to have lots of hair loss. I am sorry the collegian didn’t agree with digestive system but I definitely think your on the right track taking a good women’s multivitamin and the biotin. My New Years resolution would be to try and practice more gratitude. Love, and Blessings to both you and Nick.
My hairloss lasted for a good 9 months after having my boy. I lost a tonn of hair, I seriously felt like Golum.
My PP hairloss lasted for 6 months! I lost a lot but now I have a whole short haircut growing under my very long hair and my daughter is 15 months :D it will grow back don't worry x
I think you’re the only person I still watch on UA-cam. I’ve always loved you content but seeing this new part of your life, and seeing you with your baby is so amazing! It makes me so happy 😊
My hair loss after pregnancy lasted for around 5 to 6 months. I was so young, (19) and had no idea what was happening. It just happens and I promise you won't go bald. It is frustrating, though.
Can't believe how much she's grown!!!
Also, do you have any issues with your cats smothering the baby or laying on her face or doing anything concerning? I have a cat that I LOVE but I am worried she will do these things to the baby - I've heard horror stories! I am due in April.
The story at the end resonated so much with me! Had a few negative things in my life come up lately that feel like they've just pushed to the very forefront of my mind despite my best efforts. I find talking about them and thinking about them to be really unhelpful cuz I just relive the negativity. It's refreshing to hear you've had a similar insight. Thanks so much and happy new year ❤️💕❤️
I lost so much hair after having my son ! So freaky, yeah ! My doctor gave me iron because I leak this. It has been better after about 3 to 6 month, I don't remember precisely (it was near 4 years ago). Stay strong, this time will pass 😉😘
Wise words. A lot of times we choose to let something consume us when we don’t have to. One thing I’m learning as I’m getting older, I CAN chose joy and 90% of the time, that is 100% within my control.
I’ve been watching you for years and this story and what u said after really hit home! A major even happened to me almost 2 years ago and it was the best thing that could of happen and ever since then I go thru my day thinking positive and always look at the positive in life but there were moments where it was hard for me to let go! But I had to learn to let go because it’s not gonna change anything and where I am at today is for the best! Everything happens for a reason and I continue to believe that everyday! I love your videos thank you
Hand fulls of my hair came out post partum. My hair thinned way beyond where it was before pregnancy.
I was told it's because I had a traumatic birth. It lasted for 3 months for me. I struggled for 2 years after that with my hair because it was never as nice again.
I changed hair dressers and she had me on biotin and vitamin E. Also upped my protein intake. She also had me use a special shampoo and conditioner and hair leave in treatment to avoid breakage. Finally after 3.5 years I have my hair back!
She is so adorable❤
Honor is almost taller than me at this point 😅🥹
😭😭😭 honestly sometimes I feel like we have the same size head 😂😂
Happy New Year!!! Love and good wishes to you and family. Baby is beautiful. Be well
Very interesting insight, and i totally agree. My first year at university I was immediately friends with this lovely girl, but she unfortunately killed herself like three months after school started. Her death was a quite a shock obviously but at the same time, I didn't feel like a knew her well enough to grieve as much as the people who knew her more. I didn't feel legitimate enough to talk about how it actually had affected me and after at least 10years, I finally realized how this terrible incident that I had locked inside, completely ate me up.
That's not much hair, I expected to see a lot more. I've been trying to figure out my hair loss with my doctors with no luck. It might just be age. But collagen has helped me a lot, its growing back now. Hope you find your solution. Just wanted you let you know that it wasn't a lot at all, I would wish for that little after a shower. ♡
Edit: a normal days hair loss for everyone is 100 hairs. I would guess yours was much less than you think, especially because you have long hair, hair is so deceiving. All the best!
My baby is currently 10 months old, and my PP hair loss lasted for about 4 months. I had to wear it up in a bun because I could pull out chunks at any time and I was so scared of it wrapping around baby’s fingers. Now I have the crazy baby bangs, which are growing in gray and bright red, so I guess I’m a red head now lol.
Mine lasted 4 months but it was way worse than what you showed us ! It is growing back now and I have bangs yay
Glad to hear!! I hope mine ends soon.
Red light therapy is proven to work very well for hair growth. I’ve been using one for my face (not even my scalp) and my eyebrows are growing like crazy when they are usually sparse. I’ve changed nothing in my diet, so I know it’s the red light. It’s worth looking into :)
Your baby girl is beautiful. Congrats, and Happy New Year!
I know they say pregnant women glow but you've been glowing ever since you had Honor. You look amazing and happy! Xx
Hello Julia! Rosemary water and beer are good for your hair.Your baby is so beautiful!
What an absolute cutie you guys have! 😍 I feel like I can see both you and Nick in her
