@@debraparsons2618 yes! To name a few, I won’t be buying any of the Shea Moisture, As I Am, or Cantu products that I’ve tried again since they just aren’t made for my hair type. I also won’t be repurchasing the Not Your Mother’s Naturals royal honey shampoo and conditioner, which was actually the first CGM approved set I bought lol! 😅
What do you do with products that just don’t work for you? I’ve got a small collection that don’t work for me, but I have a hard time throwing them away.
@@sharelleshobbies I’ve only tried one shampoo bar so far and I really enjoy it! I used it today even haha. I haven’t tried a conditioner bar yet but I do hope to try more bars soon 💛
That's great to love yourself as you are. I've always been over weight since I was 22. I've tried every way possible to lose weight & I'm not a very motivated active person. I bought a treadmill, exercise bike & workout videos & nothing worked for me. I am now 56 yrs young & for the 1st time I lost 35 lbs in a 2 year period! All I'm doing is a semi fast plan & having water, lemon juice with chia seeds(let the chia seeds soak for about an hour) with a bit of honey & just warm it up in the microwave in the morning. The swollen chia seeds acts as a filler, so you don't feel so hungry which helps doing the semi fast easier. I do the 8/16 semi fast.
I really like the instagrammer/UA-camr Louise Pentland because she’s great at promoting body confidence (she’s super bright and funny too). She’s also pretty open about mental health.
Wavy here! The curlsmith purple protein line is KILLER, it makes my hair stronger, shinier, and the scent is so pretty. Highly recommend if you can- ulta has a sale now I think!
I'm getting some audio issues with this video but turning CC on is adding dialogue to the silent parts. Thank you for sharing your experience, I'm sorry that you've had to deal with false assumptions and patronising behaviour from your healthcare providers. I'm glad that you were less strict on yourself in your second pregnancy. It's been wonderful watching your confidence grow with this channel. I also love your haircare advice as always :)
I just stumbled on your channel while looking for reviews of certain curly/wavy hair products. I really appreciated your openness about life in a bigger body. I know social media can be a hard place to put yourself out there and I LOVE that you are rockin' your UA-cam channel! All the best!
You did amazing in pregnancy!!!! Screw those doctors and midwives. I gained 35 lbs with my first and 30 lbs with my second, they barely said anything about what I gained just because I was on the lower end of “big”
Thank you for sharing this information, you provided a very clear picture and gave excellent advice for anyone interested in this topic. Your honesty is impressive.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us ❤! You are beautiful, and seem like such an amazing person! I love watching your channel. You are awesome 👌 👏 👍. Keep it up Jordan! Much love to you ❤️
Thank you so much for sharing your story! I think you articulated your personal experiences and views so well and it’s so important for people to hear. And an inspiration how people can talk differently around kids.
Hey, beautiful! Great video! Interesting answers! I love the smell of Camille Rose products! I'm in love with the Aloe Whipped Butter Gel..but I have way more coarse n thick hair. All I need is a tiny bit emulsified with handfuls of water in the shower! Awww..matching scents to the season is super festive n cozy! I wanna try everything too. 😆 I think you r a star behind the camera! I'm always impressed with your honesty n ability to share your inner most feelings so gracefully. I don't think you come off as awkward at all! I'm so sorry about your bad experience we the ob gyn during your pregnancy. I know all about the medical industry, as you know! I've been mistreated by many a health care worker. I learned that we must advocate for ourselves no matter what when dealing with the health care system. Not every Dr or nurse graduates at the top of their class. Having said that, there are many health care workers that are wonderful n I'm incredibly grateful for them. Gah. I love sweet snacks. Since I had the colon removed, my body can't handle it anymore...makes my soul hurt. Lol! I think you are stunning, love! All bodies are beautiful! Your story helps so many...thank you for sharing it. Xoxo
I've never understood people who hate others based on the way they perceive their physical attributes to be. How sad n limited their lives must be. Ah well..their loss!
Omg! I'm so ill n underweight because of many disabilities. The amount of folk telling me how great I look is staggering... I just tell em it's the LA Colectomy Diet. All you gotta do is yeet your colon out yo body n boom! 🤪 People have no clue what others go through behind closed doors. Never comment on other's bodies. I practice that as a rule. I think you dress fabulously n rock all of your outfit choices! Keep being awesome, my friend!
Thank you for sharing. I love your personality and spark. You are patient and kind. I learn not just about hair, but so many other things. You are my favorite UA-camr, and I am so glad I found you!
Jordan, I'm so sorry that you went through that with that one provider. Professionals can sometimes forget that words do hurt and it didn't sound like constructive criticism at all. I've experienced rudeness too, but not regarding weight....rather my health. I have Graves Disease (hyperthyroidism) and she basically told me I was putting my health at risk, I was and still am on medication, so don't know why she'd say that. Years ago I saw her and she never gave me medication for it or for my high blood pressure. In the end, I fired her as my "doctor" and I see someone else. I consider that previous one a quack....so in my eyes she was NO doctor.
@@JordanFaith💜 You're welcome, me too. Going to see her gave me such bad anxiety, which is something I've had since I was a child. It's ironic, considering she is the one that put my health at risk by not treating my conditions.
Thank you! You are beutiful and have a good soul. I gained 20 kilo(44 pounds) while I was pregnant(all 3 times). Even though my health and blood pressure was excellent I got alot of heat for gaining weight. I didn't even eat unhealthy.
Thank you so much for being so open and honest about your experiences. I'm a fat woman, and I've always struggled with self image and moralizing food. (The ADHD, anxiety, and depression don't help!) It means a lot to hear about how you practice self love and body acceptance in your family, it gives me hope. Lately, my husband and I have been approaching the point in our lives where we'd always talked about wanting to have children, and I'm terrified. For the past decade I've always thought that I'd "fix" my eating and get to a healthier weight before getting pregnant, but that hasn't happened for me. I've tried calorie counting and cutting out sweets and everything I've ever heard anyone recommend, but life and my mental health keep getting in the way. I don't have any examples of fat pregnant women in my life, and all I ever hear about are the health risks. It makes me feel like unless I can "fix" myself and lose weight I can't be a good/responsible mother, like it would be selfish/irresponsible to be pregnant with my body the way it is today. It's really affecting my sense of self worth.
I’m so sorry you’re going through these feelings in what should be a very exciting and hopeful time for you ❤️ I realize I didn’t touch on my whole pregnancy experiences or my delivery experiences, because I would’ve been talking for far too long for this video haha, but I will share with you that I had completely healthy pregnancies with no health issues whatsoever, despite being morbidly obese during both, and my deliveries were mostly complication free as well. I understand the fear and the feelings you’re having, and I too tried for years to lose the weight before becoming pregnant, and it just never happened for me either. We can still have healthy pregnancies and grow our families, we deserve that if it is our desire ❤️
@SydLiz94 ~ I Totally Agree with Jordan Faith. She is 100% Correct. IF You continue to wait for a certain season to happen, You will miss out on All the Blessings that are within your grasp in the present💞🤰💞 Please, keep us posted on your journey👸
@@JordanFaith This is so encouraging! I'm definitely using this as my wake-up call to seek out more body positive, big girl voices instead of marinating in my anxiety and fear. 🙌❤️
@@debraparsons2618 Thanks for the support - I can see that gatekeeping the life I want for myself will be something I regret later. I'm so appreciative for the encouragement 😊
I really appreciate this video and the discussion around pregnancy. I have a 2.5 year old and have been wanting a second. I've had two miscarriages over the past year and have been wanting to get help from the doctor too conceive, but I'm afraid my doctor will just tell me too lose weight and it makes me anxious to go. I know I should just go in and try to stand up for myself if the doctor can't respect me. But I'm not really the best at that. 😅
@@JordanFaith Thank you! I got the courage to make an appointment in a few weeks. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that either it's a non-issue and they work with me, or that I can stand up for myself. Guess we'll see. 💕
I have similar curl pattern to you (2A) with the difference being that my hair is very course. I love EcoSlay Orange Marmalade but it doesn't provide enough hold for me on its own. I layer with a hard hold gel on top. I used to use Aussie Instant Freeze for this but it's been making people's hair fall out (including mine when I was using it all the time). So I've been using Harry's or Vanicream (which is for people with sensitive skin; I have psoriasis). I tried the Umberto Giannini Curl Jelly and it didn't give me any hold at all. Styling is altogether way too much work for the results to only last a day
Hey everyone! I’m working on linking all the products I mentioned in this video. The description will be updated to include them shortly! 💞 How are you doing today? ⬇️
I just recently got the Garnier Fructis one minute hair mask in coconut, the big size and I love it. Already have avocado. Also got the banana in the larger size, but haven't used it yet.
What are your other questions? 👇🏻
Are there products you have tried over these past two years that you will never use again?🤔
@@debraparsons2618 yes! To name a few, I won’t be buying any of the Shea Moisture, As I Am, or Cantu products that I’ve tried again since they just aren’t made for my hair type.

Have you ever used shampoo and conditioner bars? I’m going to try some soon ☺️. Just hoping to find conditioner bar that isn’t too heavy for wavy hair
