I love her truck driver mouth, I love her dry sense of humor, and I love that she don't give a shit what people say and I loveeeee the way she applies her makeup
Don't take this the wrong way, because you're amazing at makeup & I've learned a lot from you over the last few years but, I'm not even here for the makeup anymore as much as these talks and your thoughts on life. the title could literally say anything, if you're talking, I'm watching.
YES. I barely watch makeup tutorials anymore, but Sam is one of the only ones I never miss an upload, because I'm genuinely interested in whatever she has to say.
I was complaining to my therapist about relationships and how I felt like I gave more than I received. So naturally, she explained relationships to me in a way I had never heard before. The Friendship House. You start your house on the porch, yeah? Well, those are people you don’t know or don’t want in your house. Pesky sales people, etc. Then you’re in the sitting room. Kind of formal, don’t really trust them but you know them. More-so acquaintances than friends. From there you move to the living room. Where you tend to relax a little more and maybe have some fun. These are your play friends. Friends you don’t mind watching movies with and going hiking with but it’s not quite there yet. Now we’re in the kitchen. These are the type of friends you’d trust to take care of you when you’re sick. That you don’t mind rummaging through your fridge and sharing food with. That you trust in your home to not be weirdos. Lastly, we have laundry room friends. Because they’ve seen all of our dirty laundry and still stick around. These ones are rare and we usually only have 1-2 of these types of friends. Boundaries are hard. But this model has really helped me see where my relationships are, how they’ve changed, etc. It’s okay to pull back if you feel like they’re not giving as you are quite yet. It’s okay to be skeptical.
I'm so glad this type of analogy helped you with these boundaries. But as someone who lives in the country and is a hermit...like, I wouldn't even let my acquaintances in my actual living room :P That's my equivalent of the metaphorical kitchen, only kitchen friends come home. Just made me chuckle to think of it more literally and maybe it illustrates me having too many boundaries. Some of us are givers who struggle with feeling like they are taken advantage of in friendships, and then there's me, basically the equivalent of Old Ben Kenobi in A New Hope.
That's a good analogy! I only have 2 good friends and only 1 of those who I truly trust and we've been friends for 30years! I have had many "sitting room" friends over the years but I've always been disappointed in how honest or truthful the friendship ended up. I'm trusting of people to a fault. Everyone has always told me not to be so trusting because I always end up being screwed over because more often than not people don't have my best interest in mind and only think of themselves. But I can't change who I am any heart. I simply treat others how I want to be treated. I figure if they treat me wrong then that's something they'll have to answer for in the end. I at least know I was the better person for doing the right thing and my conscience is clear. 😊🤗
Something that “naturally” helps my depression is sitting outside in the sun at least once a week without a phone or book or any distraction. I call it my photosynthesis time 🌱
Every time you do one of these you always answer a huge issue that's going on in my life and get me to see it in a new light. Thanks for always being you. Just know that you DO HELP at least one person out here and I'm really thankful for it.
I recently got married and we did the small 40 people wedding and let me tell you, it was perfect! It was everything I ever dreamed of plus more. Now my advice to people is, do what you want, not what others expect.
I just wanted to thank you for the reminder of how much exercise helps with depression. I have both depression and anxiety and exercise helps them both....sometimes I forget how much and take a day off which leads to two which leads to.....and then not only am i out of shape but my depression comes back with a vengeance which makes it even harder to get back to the exercise that makes me feel so much better.
I have to tell you... I watch your videos while I speed eat lunch at my desk (my job can get stressful) and I find myself laughing out loud SO MUCH! You are such an awesome escape in a world of chaos. Not to mention, super talented! Your eye look is BOMB! :)
you're so right about the reading thing! I'm a student and I used to feel guilty about taking time to read for fun when I had assignments due, but it's basically like going to the gym for your brain. it's so nice to go sit in the park and read a book and focus on something positive for a little while.
Just an idea, would love to see more of you doing “Improvements “ on makeup looks we submit to you maybe via IG so we can pick up the techniques like you did with the look on Alana then yourself I found it immensely helpful
I'm the same way about telling people to quit their jobs too 😂 Walking out of a toxic job situation because of blatant sexism in the workplace was one of the most challenging, yet, rewarding experiences ever for me. It legit changed my whole life. I didn't have anything lined up but because I had such relief and peace, everything worked out and lined up right away. I always tell people to take the leap! Happiness is more important than a paycheck!
While I agree with the sentiment of this mindset, you need to acknowledge how incredibly privileged it is. Sure, happiness is important, but a roof over someone's head is more important.
OMG Sam!!! :) LMFAO "Abielle (Abeille) En Francais Omelette Du Fromage Watery Oil": DYING, Woman!! Hahaha For those who understand this, it is HILARIOUS!!! Seriously, thank you SO much for your humor; truly uplifting during one of the WORST times in my entire life. Not being dramatic: lost spouse to tragic death overseas and still trying to get things in order to return to USA. Truly, thank you. Helping others with humor through terrible times and depression is very real. I have sought help and consistently been ignored by so many, my own family included. Laughter is truly a genuine cure to the deepest heartaches and depression. Happy to take your lead and use humor as remedy
im not too sure i know what is appropriate to say in those situations, but i found your comment beautiful, hopeful even if your situation is tragic... i hope you find peace wherever it might be, i hope everything will work out, i wish you the best, i hope you live small moments of joy like these as often as they can come thank you for sharing your experience, it felt meaningful xx
It's such a meaningless thing to say because it doesn't even reach the depth of the loss you're feeling right now, but I'm very sorry for your loss. May the weight you carry become easier to carry with time.
You talking about getting out in nature made me suddenly remember the fact that you posted a booty pic in the woods back in the day and long story short I snorted my coffee.
That was majestic. I forgot about that photo. Made me cry for a week because my ass is 5 times larger lol. Felt like shit for a short while based on that pic.
@@fbiagentfrank But you should feel proud of what your Momma gave you! People are paying ridiculous amounts and going through hell to get bigger booties and yours is all natural! 🤗☺️ You're Beautiful just the way you are! Always remember that!!
Gwyne Dunlap right? Same! She’s and old soul and I love it. She was a suggestion to me for Glossier reviews and after watching a few vids ( and the whole mug/truth video 🤗 ) I was like she’s fkn real w it and I need to sub. Lol.
I totally agree! I’m 5 years older than Sam and I LOVE listening to her life advice. She has helped me deal with so much. I occasionally rewatch her “what I’ve learned in 25 years” video she did for her birthday because it was so enlightening for me.
In terms of quitting a job to "pursue your passion," especially one that happens to be creative --- CREATIVITY IS A MUSCLE. Athletes and creative people do the same thing, they are just focusing on different parts of the body. If "being creative" is a part of how you make your living, you HAVE to be strategic and smart about how you utilize that muscle and ensure that you are not over-working it, stretching before or after, taking breaks, etc. It is fun, but it is HARD and it requires the same focus that physically working a muscle in your leg requires. Thinking about creativity in this way grounds it in a more realistic, less glamorized, and (frankly) more achievable perspective
As someone who is a self-employed creative, I completely agree! It's so easy to burn out when your work is your passion and relies on creativity. "Playing" and resting are key.
You are one of my favorite people to watch. You are so SMART. You are just in touch with your mind and you can tell that you actually think about things other than makeup and beauty. You’re so down to earth and give amazing advice. You can tell you spend time self reflecting and it has made you a wonderful person. Keep up the good work lady.
Love how real you are Sam! I love watching your videos for this reason! My fiancé was working with a guy who said he went to school with you. He told me about it and I was like oh my god!!! Love from a fellow Western Canadian!💕
Hi Sam! I'm 22 and graduated college in May. Since graduating i've started a new stressful job and moved to a new city on my own. So far i've been really anxious and I really miss my family. Your videos make me so happy and the life advice that you share is so helpful and calming. Thank you for being you!
She might go ghost on us from time to time, but when she does upload the length of the videos always makes up for it! That one simple thing alone means so much to us watching. It shows that you actually care about us and the videos that you put out and that you won’t ever just put out bullshit bogus content to make sure you get 2-3 uploads per week. Little side note - I love that you talk to us like you’re talking to your best friend of years and not just as subscribers, always so chatty and thorough, it’s like you’re always making it a solid point to catch us up on absolutely anything and everything. You’re always so straight up and honest with us and not a sell out like most and that’s so admirable.
I agree with you, Sam. In the end, whether it's a marriage or a long-term relationship, there are days where you aren't going to be desperately in love with that person the way you were at the beginning. There are going to be arguments, learn to fight clean and get to know yourselves to know when you're having a spat and when it's a gamechanger. Personally, sometimes I'm just gunning for a fight, it's cathartic for me and I need to have that conflict. Been with my husband for 8 years and married for 4, still trucking even though we've fought. But when we were dating, after my best friend attempted suicide over the phone with me, I dropped out of university, my husband's dad was diagnosed with sudden onset alzheimers and was in the hospital for 3 months, my husband couldn't get a job...I knew after going through all of that, that no matter what I'd want him to have my back for the rest of my life. So he went from my boyfriend to my fiance, and now he's my husband. Because it wasn't about what we were like on good days, it was about who had my back on the worst of days. Every day I wake up and make the decision to love him, and that's what marriage or any sort of committed relationship is, it's making that choice every day regardless of the flaws (barring real dangerous or damaging tendencies, there is a difference) and regardless of the unglamorous moments that aren't out of a fairytale. Life isn't going to be all romance and happy times, sometimes it's going to be slogging it in the trenches together, but as long as you both deeply care about one another and are both actively looking to fulfill the needs of the other person because you genuinely care about their wellbeing even when you aren't desperately in love with them...then you're going to be okay.
I love what you said in regards to the cancelling brands question and how it's a positive thing to be moving in a direction towards being more empathetic as a whole and that is one of the many reasons I respect and support you so much. You're funny as hell, insanely creative and also so wise and not afraid to speak your mind. Much love and respect to you, miss.
So much of what you’re saying is really resonating with me and where I am in my life and the observations I’ve made about how life in general, mindfulness, relationships with other people. Thanks for sharing!
I love how you're so candid, and I have to say all of the things you're saying about self care are so true in my experience with mental illness. I mean I have Bipolar type 2, so the symptoms are very dynamic and ever changing but being in nature and keeping certain spaces reserved for certain tasks is definitely a huge thing.
Your don't-give-a-shit attitude and how you simply are who you are is so refreshing. Even when I don't necessarily agree with what you're saying it's just so nice to hear someone speak their mind about shit that is so often glossed over. Keep doing you girl because I love it.
A small wedding without all the extra shennanigans sound so flippin awesome, so I would looove to see more on your wedding planning/how everything turns out. Your entire channel is such a breath of fresh air, love everything about it
Watching videos of a smart, honest, well spoken person (and with great sense of humor) whose ideas and opinions make you think about and question yours in different ways AND is amazing at makeup? It really can’t get any better
I feel like watching you videos is helping me expanding my English vocabulary. Like it's not only "she's shady" "she's spilling the tea" and its so refreshing
I’m a dance instructor and you talking about having a creative job and your creativity feeling drained sometimes SPOT ON. And not using my bed for my editing for music and choreographing. Never thought about it! Love you.
There are many many things I've enjoyed in this video, but my favourite has definitely been how self aware you are and how openly you admit to some mistakes you might have made in the past and that you don't try to excuse yourself in any way. Inspirational 🙌❤️
@@mademoisellesachaaa My 2 year goal, girl. I want to sit on my front porch with my coffee and not see another living thing. Except my family, of course. Maybe 😁
The relationship advice at the end where you said if you don't love someone that day are they still your best friend and that spoke to me so much. All of your advice in this video is amazing but that bit right there was amazing.
I have been struggling the last couple of weeks with my mental health and watching your videos makes me feel a little better. Thank you for being you 💕
Your point about oversensitivity was very well said. A good number of people in my life go on and on about people being too sensitive, and I could never articulate my thoughts clearly. You are so insightful and well spoken, I love watching your videos like this because I always walk away having learned something about makeup and something about life.
I’m so glad you talked about “curating your space” and getting out in nature. I’ve suffered from depression and anxiety for years, and I had the same problem (HA! Who am I kidding? - I still do) of being super stressed and unable to sleep until I learned how to separate work/school and “play time”. Plus, it truly is amazing how much a good walk or camping trip can relax someone! 😊
I'm 100% with you on the "do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life" stuff, Sam. I have what has always been my dream job and while I really love it a lot of the time, I get burnt out sometimes and all I want to do is just take a break. My career is pretty high-pressure/high-stakes and while I love it, it wears me out on every level. It very much feels like work, no matter how rewarding it is.
Just finished watching your video, this look is beautiful. I just wanted to touch on your wedding plans since I just recently got married- you basically described what we did and both of us wouldn’t have changed a thing! Our guests had a great time and we were able to celebrate our day right along with them! I hope you stick to what fits your vision/lifestyle and have a wonderful wedding! 🥂
I’m probably at the worst depression of my life, I’m avoiding like any human besides my kids and husband. Long story short my husband of 20yrs had a heart attack and he’s 41, he’s alive but unfortunately they couldn’t fix him. After losing my 35 yr old brother a yr ago in November, I thought I was okay but I really wasn’t and in May when my hubby had his heart attack I just lost it. Someone told me to go out in nature and I guess taking off your shoes and being grounded helps depression. So I tried it, I’m not fixed, but yes it does help. Anyways ty for talking about it. I really hope things get better for you Sam!
Ruth S. Awe ty love ❤️ that really means a lot. Honestly the internet has been my outlet, I made some friends online , but I’m going to speak to my dr at my next appointment about it. So he can refer me to someone. I’m usually such a happy, outgoing person who always had lots of friends, but I live in Chronic pain after a back surgery gone wrong in 07 and ppl slowly started not coming around anymore. This all sounds like a freakin pity party, but I’m not trying to sound that way , I’m really not. I guess this is just a way for me to express myself. Sam makes me laugh and I guess spill my guts on UA-cam lol 😆 Ruth seriously thank you for taking the time to read my comment , I really do appreciate it sweetheart 💗💗💗
Oh dear, it must've been really really hard the last few months! Nonetheless, you're really strong for going through all that! That's good - I'm hoping that your doctor is able to refer you to someone who can be your confidante as well as help you through your depression. I'm glad that you've found some good people online too; it seems that receiving company online is all the more important because of your chronic pain :( Even though the pain must be immense, I hope that concentrating on the other things of life would help you through bit by bit. Things like the colours of the season, the bristling leaves, the birds chirping, and other wonders of nature. There's a video by Martina here on UA-cam from Simon and Martina called "How I deal with Chronic pain" and she talks about how she goes about the day building a ladder. Here is the link: ua-cam.com/video/f3uF3EpSZMw/v-deo.html I don't live in chronic pain but it is extremely helpful in those days where you feel utterly useless and like a failure. I hope watching the video might help you a bit!
Ruth S. Oh my goodness Ruth you’re the sweetest ever! Thanks sm for the thoughtful comments and the referral to the UA-cam video I will be watching ASAP! I don’t even know you and you’ve been just so kind! This is what I’m talking about, people in my real life hasn’t been there, but someone like you just cares and you don’t know me. Ruth you had me tearing up in a good way. I will definitely be watching that video and speaking with my doctor about seeing a therapist. Again Ruth thank you ,you put a smile on my face 😊 I can’t tell you how much I appreciate this, it really means a lot to me 💜
Hands down you are my favorite! Probably because I too love psychology and get that from you when you speak in these types of videos. I could watch these type of videos and listen to everything you talk about and never get tired of watching, and then the makeup seems like a bonus right now. You’re raw and real, fucking talented, and intelligent! Keep it up Sam, your content is perfection!
I totally relate to your depression struggle. I haven't read since having my little boy, I used to read for hours every night. He's 6 now so maybe I need to jump back into it. Thank you for always being so honest.....about your struggles AND the products!! Love u Sam!!
There are only 2 you tubers I make sure I ALWAYS follow and NEVER miss their videos or content on social media, you are one of those! I love your personality and outlook on things. Always enjoy watching your videos!
Since I stopped going to therapy I've started watching makeup tutorials more often, especially Sam - there is something SO therapeutic about watching beautiful eyeshadow slowly come together, or is it just me?
Re what you said in response to the brand canceling I agree with. Most brands probably have some CEOs or investors who have done horrible things that we will never know about. At the same time we should all be free to boycott, protest etc because it does bring change but don’t bully others because they use products from a brand you don’t support. We can still educate others and advocate in a respectful and peaceful manner and the process will unfold. Change has and will continue to come.
I just stumbled onto this video. And quickly subscribed to your channel. You sharing so much of yourself is very refreshing. You are really being yourself and that shines through. I love watching makeup videos because I like to see how people put their makeup on and learning about new products. I’m looking forward to watching a lot more of your videos. I do love purple eyeshadow palettes. ❤️
I really like your perspective on what a good relationship is. The best piece of relationship advise I’ve received was from my dad who told me that he and my mom have been so lucky because they’ve never fallen out of love with each other at the same time; there has always been someone fighting for the relationship, someone to pick up any slack.
Omg, so that thing you said about being forced to be creative at your job and then you end up losing the desire... that is me. From kindergarten to grade 12 I was constantly drawing and I was fascinated with animals and so I would use pencil or colored pencil to draw really lifelike pictures of animals any chance I could at school, like for art class, title pages, projects, etc. So then when I graduated... I suddenly lost that desire to draw.. and I was like, what the heck!! I've never really regained the desire. It makes me sad, because it was something I was good at and now it's gone.. any ideas?
Yes I’ve suffered for as long as I can remember and honestly knowing your triggers (some times there’s not one) but knowing them and finding something that distracts/takes your mind off of whatever it is
Random but thank you for doing your brows on camera. Lol I hate when you tubers make it sound like it's this big production... It's not that serious. Love listening to you, as always.
You make me fall in love with life again .I cannot believe the level of positively you have left in you to share with the rest of the world , even after your own short comes . Your expression of speech is so clear that it hits straight my heart . Thankyou for being you and not like millions of people out there . Your truly inspiring and an epitome of wisdom and idealism in today’s world . 🌸🌸❤️ Thankyou for making the type of content that you do . 🤩🤩
It makes me so happy that you still choose to stay here in Van, even tho you've had opportunities to move to the US! I couldn't imagine leaving Vancouver either honestly - it's so beautiful, and I find the woods so relaxing too! Thanks for always keeping it real, and being so inspiring
I didn't think I could love you more than I did.. and then you told me that you would want to go back to school - that's amazing! I've always thought the same - if I didn't have to work to earn a living, I'd go back to school and learn about all the things I'm passionate about! For me it's history, sociology, and politics :) You're truly my soulmate - love you!
Rae Peronneau Omega 3s are awesome for depression that is caused by that kind of deficiency but it doesn’t work for everyone. But I agree it’s a great place to start :)

wtf did u make this video specifically for me? i’m in between jobs and in a constant state of depression so thank u for the wise words ily
I am so glad I found you, Sam! You’ve become my favorite UA-camr almost overnight - intelligent, crude, funny, beautiful.
Thank you for existing. ❤️
Gwyne Dunlap right? Same! She’s and old soul and I love it. She was a suggestion to me for Glossier reviews and after watching a few vids ( and the whole mug/truth video 🤗 ) I was like she’s fkn real w it and I need to sub. Lol.
“short answer: don’t know, long answer: dOn’t CAree” hahahah love that
You are wiser beyond your time. Is that right? Crap, I may not be saying that correctly. But what I’m trying to saying is, you’re smart ❤️
Hot Mess Momma MD hehe she’s wise beyond her years!
I totally agree! I’m 5 years older than Sam and I LOVE listening to her life advice. She has helped me deal with so much. I occasionally rewatch her “what I’ve learned in 25 years” video she did for her birthday because it was so enlightening for me.
your sarcastic attitude is just so relatable i live for it. bless ur soul girlfraaaand
The day you retire from UA-cam is the day I die 😭 lol I’m dramatic af, but seriously you’re the main reason I still watch UA-cam.
thank you for being real and thank you for doing your brows ON camera!! love you sam.
In terms of quitting a job to "pursue your passion," especially one that happens to be creative --- CREATIVITY IS A MUSCLE. Athletes and creative people do the same thing, they are just focusing on different parts of the body. If "being creative" is a part of how you make your living, you HAVE to be strategic and smart about how you utilize that muscle and ensure that you are not over-working it, stretching before or after, taking breaks, etc. It is fun, but it is HARD and it requires the same focus that physically working a muscle in your leg requires. Thinking about creativity in this way grounds it in a more realistic, less glamorized, and (frankly) more achievable perspective
Well damn, Josephine!! When you put it like that it all makes sense to me. 🤣 Seriously though, this is real stuff right here.
As someone who is a self-employed creative, I completely agree! It's so easy to burn out when your work is your passion and relies on creativity. "Playing" and resting are key.
Excellent advice and very centered, thank you Josephine.
I posted this to my Instagram it’s so pure
Kayla Stock biggest compliment ever, thank you! 💕
You are one of my favorite people to watch. You are so SMART. You are just in touch with your mind and you can tell that you actually think about things other than makeup and beauty. You’re so down to earth and give amazing advice. You can tell you spend time self reflecting and it has made you a wonderful person. Keep up the good work lady.
I really love your grwms, so much wisdom... I fw you heavy Sam 💖
Love how real you are Sam! I love watching your videos for this reason! My fiancé was working with a guy who said he went to school with you. He told me about it and I was like oh my god!!! Love from a fellow Western Canadian!💕
This whole conversation is amazing! Especially the brands part! No one is perfect!
Hi Sam! I'm 22 and graduated college in May. Since graduating i've started a new stressful job and moved to a new city on my own. So far i've been really anxious and I really miss my family. Your videos make me so happy and the life advice that you share is so helpful and calming. Thank you for being you!
Who else liked his before even watching!!! LOVE YA GIRL! That foundation looks so nice on your skin! 🙌🤗😱
She might go ghost on us from time to time, but when she does upload the length of the videos always makes up for it! That one simple thing alone means so much to us watching. It shows that you actually care about us and the videos that you put out and that you won’t ever just put out bullshit bogus content to make sure you get 2-3 uploads per week.
Little side note - I love that you talk to us like you’re talking to your best friend of years and not just as subscribers, always so chatty and thorough, it’s like you’re always making it a solid point to catch us up on absolutely anything and everything. You’re always so straight up and honest with us and not a sell out like most and that’s so admirable.
I agree with you, Sam. In the end, whether it's a marriage or a long-term relationship, there are days where you aren't going to be desperately in love with that person the way you were at the beginning. There are going to be arguments, learn to fight clean and get to know yourselves to know when you're having a spat and when it's a gamechanger. Personally, sometimes I'm just gunning for a fight, it's cathartic for me and I need to have that conflict. Been with my husband for 8 years and married for 4, still trucking even though we've fought. But when we were dating, after my best friend attempted suicide over the phone with me, I dropped out of university, my husband's dad was diagnosed with sudden onset alzheimers and was in the hospital for 3 months, my husband couldn't get a job...I knew after going through all of that, that no matter what I'd want him to have my back for the rest of my life. So he went from my boyfriend to my fiance, and now he's my husband. Because it wasn't about what we were like on good days, it was about who had my back on the worst of days. Every day I wake up and make the decision to love him, and that's what marriage or any sort of committed relationship is, it's making that choice every day regardless of the flaws (barring real dangerous or damaging tendencies, there is a difference) and regardless of the unglamorous moments that aren't out of a fairytale. Life isn't going to be all romance and happy times, sometimes it's going to be slogging it in the trenches together, but as long as you both deeply care about one another and are both actively looking to fulfill the needs of the other person because you genuinely care about their wellbeing even when you aren't desperately in love with them...then you're going to be okay.
I love what you said in regards to the cancelling brands question and how it's a positive thing to be moving in a direction towards being more empathetic as a whole and that is one of the many reasons I respect and support you so much. You're funny as hell, insanely creative and also so wise and not afraid to speak your mind. Much love and respect to you, miss.
Both taco eating parts should be long in my humble opinion 🤷♀️
Courtney Hoing 😂😂😂
“In the days that you’re not in love make sure that you’re still best friends” that really hit me omg
So much of what you’re saying is really resonating with me and where I am in my life and the observations I’ve made about how life in general, mindfulness, relationships with other people. Thanks for sharing!
I love how you're so candid, and I have to say all of the things you're saying about self care are so true in my experience with mental illness. I mean I have Bipolar type 2, so the symptoms are very dynamic and ever changing but being in nature and keeping certain spaces reserved for certain tasks is definitely a huge thing.
Deeply unseasoned chicken breast 😭😂 Wait. That’s my shade. 👻
Your don't-give-a-shit attitude and how you simply are who you are is so refreshing. Even when I don't necessarily agree with what you're saying it's just so nice to hear someone speak their mind about shit that is so often glossed over. Keep doing you girl because I love it.
LOVE YOU SAM! i always learn so much from you!
A small wedding without all the extra shennanigans sound so flippin awesome, so I would looove to see more on your wedding planning/how everything turns out. Your entire channel is such a breath of fresh air, love everything about it
Oooh one of my favorite people on UA-cam
Watching videos of a smart, honest, well spoken person (and with great sense of humor) whose ideas and opinions make you think about and question yours in different ways AND is amazing at makeup? It really can’t get any better
PLEASE start your own makeup line
Kate Yeh THIS 🙌🏻
I’d buy EVERYTHING
I feel like watching you videos is helping me expanding my English vocabulary. Like it's not only "she's shady" "she's spilling the tea" and its so refreshing
“ I didn’t have my head in the game...like Zach Effron” 😂😂😂
I’m a dance instructor and you talking about having a creative job and your creativity feeling drained sometimes SPOT ON. And not using my bed for my editing for music and choreographing. Never thought about it! Love you.
I absolutely love reading your description boxes! They are so hilarious!
There are many many things I've enjoyed in this video, but my favourite has definitely been how self aware you are and how openly you admit to some mistakes you might have made in the past and that you don't try to excuse yourself in any way. Inspirational 🙌❤️
Don’t be hard to yourself. The key of happiness is to stay away from people. Works for me 😂
Totally agree. I live in the middle of a soybean field with my husband, two dogs, and 6 ducks. 10/10 happiest year of my life. :P
😂😂❤
@@mademoisellesachaaa My 2 year goal, girl. I want to sit on my front porch with my coffee and not see another living thing. Except my family, of course. Maybe 😁
The relationship advice at the end where you said if you don't love someone that day are they still your best friend and that spoke to me so much. All of your advice in this video is amazing but that bit right there was amazing.
I was looking through older videos wondering “I wonder when Sam is going to upload”...happy lady.
I have been struggling the last couple of weeks with my mental health and watching your videos makes me feel a little better. Thank you for being you 💕
Who else pauses the video and goes straight to the description box? 🙋🏻♀️
Liz Lar I NEVER remember to look at the description box until someone makes a comment about it so tysm
Liz Lar best description boxes in the game!!!
Open it as the video is loading🙌
Your point about oversensitivity was very well said. A good number of people in my life go on and on about people being too sensitive, and I could never articulate my thoughts clearly.
You are so insightful and well spoken, I love watching your videos like this because I always walk away having learned something about makeup and something about life.
Haha, even the description box is flawlessly French... omelette du fromage 😂😂😂
You’re so unbelievably helpful with the psych stuff. Honestly I’m grateful. Thank you.
Just got on the treadmill. Perfect timing
I’m so glad you talked about “curating your space” and getting out in nature. I’ve suffered from depression and anxiety for years, and I had the same problem (HA! Who am I kidding? - I still do) of being super stressed and unable to sleep until I learned how to separate work/school and “play time”. Plus, it truly is amazing how much a good walk or camping trip can relax someone! 😊
chicken breast white makes me deeply uncomfortable but it perfectly describes the pink-white tone of my face..... hate myself
HAHHAHAHAHAAH
I'm 100% with you on the "do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life" stuff, Sam. I have what has always been my dream job and while I really love it a lot of the time, I get burnt out sometimes and all I want to do is just take a break. My career is pretty high-pressure/high-stakes and while I love it, it wears me out on every level. It very much feels like work, no matter how rewarding it is.
The ACTUAL taco-eating way. 😂😂😂 I learned a lot of cool things today!! ❤️
Just finished watching your video, this look is beautiful. I just wanted to touch on your wedding plans since I just recently got married- you basically described what we did and both of us wouldn’t have changed a thing! Our guests had a great time and we were able to celebrate our day right along with them! I hope you stick to what fits your vision/lifestyle and have a wonderful wedding! 🥂
I’m probably at the worst depression of my life, I’m avoiding like any human besides my kids and husband. Long story short my husband of 20yrs had a heart attack and he’s 41, he’s alive but unfortunately they couldn’t fix him. After losing my 35 yr old brother a yr ago in November, I thought I was okay but I really wasn’t and in May when my hubby had his heart attack I just lost it. Someone told me to go out in nature and I guess taking off your shoes and being grounded helps depression. So I tried it, I’m not fixed, but yes it does help. Anyways ty for talking about it. I really hope things get better for you Sam!
omgoodness... sending you loads and loads of love. Are there people around you can talk to?
Ruth S. Awe ty love ❤️ that really means a lot. Honestly the internet has been my outlet, I made some friends online , but I’m going to speak to my dr at my next appointment about it. So he can refer me to someone. I’m usually such a happy, outgoing person who always had lots of friends, but I live in Chronic pain after a back surgery gone wrong in 07 and ppl slowly started not coming around anymore. This all sounds like a freakin pity party, but I’m not trying to sound that way , I’m really not. I guess this is just a way for me to express myself. Sam makes me laugh and I guess spill my guts on UA-cam lol 😆 Ruth seriously thank you for taking the time to read my comment , I really do appreciate it sweetheart 💗💗💗
Oh dear, it must've been really really hard the last few months! Nonetheless, you're really strong for going through all that! That's good - I'm hoping that your doctor is able to refer you to someone who can be your confidante as well as help you through your depression. I'm glad that you've found some good people online too; it seems that receiving company online is all the more important because of your chronic pain :( Even though the pain must be immense, I hope that concentrating on the other things of life would help you through bit by bit. Things like the colours of the season, the bristling leaves, the birds chirping, and other wonders of nature. There's a video by Martina here on UA-cam from Simon and Martina called "How I deal with Chronic pain" and she talks about how she goes about the day building a ladder. Here is the link: ua-cam.com/video/f3uF3EpSZMw/v-deo.html
I don't live in chronic pain but it is extremely helpful in those days where you feel utterly useless and like a failure. I hope watching the video might help you a bit!
Oh and you're too sweet! It's no trouble at all :)
Ruth S. Oh my goodness Ruth you’re the sweetest ever! Thanks sm for the thoughtful comments and the referral to the UA-cam video I will be watching ASAP! I don’t even know you and you’ve been just so kind! This is what I’m talking about, people in my real life hasn’t been there, but someone like you just cares and you don’t know me. Ruth you had me tearing up in a good way. I will definitely be watching that video and speaking with my doctor about seeing a therapist. Again Ruth thank you ,you put a smile on my face 😊 I can’t tell you how much I appreciate this, it really means a lot to me 💜
Hands down you are my favorite! Probably because I too love psychology and get that from you when you speak in these types of videos. I could watch these type of videos and listen to everything you talk about and never get tired of watching, and then the makeup seems like a bonus right now. You’re raw and real, fucking talented, and intelligent! Keep it up Sam, your content is perfection!
"Je m'apelle Claude" --- Je de coup Clow.
"Je m'apelle Claude" --- Je te flouppe Fli.
"Je m'apelle!" --- Me pooh pooh!
Friends ❤️
I totally relate to your depression struggle. I haven't read since having my little boy, I used to read for hours every night. He's 6 now so maybe I need to jump back into it. Thank you for always being so honest.....about your struggles AND the products!! Love u Sam!!
I just appreciate your humor so much!
There are only 2 you tubers I make sure I ALWAYS follow and NEVER miss their videos or content on social media, you are one of those! I love your personality and outlook on things. Always enjoy watching your videos!
I don’t think I’ve ever clicked on a UA-cam notification so fast in my life. MY FAVVVVV❤️
Since I stopped going to therapy I've started watching makeup tutorials more often, especially Sam - there is something SO therapeutic about watching beautiful eyeshadow slowly come together, or is it just me?
Can we just acknowledge that Sam listed the Guerlain product in the description box as “...omelette du fromage” HAHAHA
Stumbled upon your channel. Love your style and honesty!
Re what you said in response to the brand canceling I agree with. Most brands probably have some CEOs or investors who have done horrible things that we will never know about. At the same time we should all be free to boycott, protest etc because it does bring change but don’t bully others because they use products from a brand you don’t support. We can still educate others and advocate in a respectful and peaceful manner and the process will unfold. Change has and will continue to come.
Watching this in 2020 for random reasons and parts of this video are SO RELEVANT right now. Thanks for always being so real Sam!!
Omlette du fromage haha i almost fell for it..😅
I just stumbled onto this video. And quickly subscribed to your channel. You sharing so much of yourself is very refreshing. You are really being yourself and that shines through. I love watching makeup videos because I like to see how people put their makeup on and learning about new products. I’m looking forward to watching a lot more of your videos. I do love purple eyeshadow palettes. ❤️
I really like your perspective on what a good relationship is. The best piece of relationship advise I’ve received was from my dad who told me that he and my mom have been so lucky because they’ve never fallen out of love with each other at the same time; there has always been someone fighting for the relationship, someone to pick up any slack.
You are so wise beyond your years and have such great insight, I could literally listen to you talk about anything for hours
Omg, so that thing you said about being forced to be creative at your job and then you end up losing the desire... that is me. From kindergarten to grade 12 I was constantly drawing and I was fascinated with animals and so I would use pencil or colored pencil to draw really lifelike pictures of animals any chance I could at school, like for art class, title pages, projects, etc. So then when I graduated... I suddenly lost that desire to draw.. and I was like, what the heck!! I've never really regained the desire. It makes me sad, because it was something I was good at and now it's gone.. any ideas?
Yes I’ve suffered for as long as I can remember and honestly knowing your triggers (some times there’s not one) but knowing them and finding something that distracts/takes your mind off of whatever it is
Random but thank you for doing your brows on camera. Lol I hate when you tubers make it sound like it's this big production... It's not that serious. Love listening to you, as always.
You make me fall in love with life again .I cannot believe the level of positively you have left in you to share with the rest of the world , even after your own short comes . Your expression of speech is so clear that it hits straight my heart . Thankyou for being you and not like millions of people out there . Your truly inspiring and an epitome of wisdom and idealism in today’s world . 🌸🌸❤️ Thankyou for making the type of content that you do . 🤩🤩
what do you like to read?
Stephanie Baker yip I’d like to know too!
It makes me so happy that you still choose to stay here in Van, even tho you've had opportunities to move to the US! I couldn't imagine leaving Vancouver either honestly - it's so beautiful, and I find the woods so relaxing too! Thanks for always keeping it real, and being so inspiring
You don’t know it yet, but we’re best friends. Don’t fight it, just accept it.....
Haha but seriously you’re fucking awesome
Haley Ruby Nah she’s my best friend
I didn't think I could love you more than I did.. and then you told me that you would want to go back to school - that's amazing! I've always thought the same - if I didn't have to work to earn a living, I'd go back to school and learn about all the things I'm passionate about! For me it's history, sociology, and politics :) You're truly my soulmate - love you!
Have you ever tried Omega 3’s for your depression? There are studies that show they can be very helpful?
Rae Peronneau Omega 3s are awesome for depression that is caused by that kind of deficiency but it doesn’t work for everyone. But I agree it’s a great place to start :)
You and Alana have quickly become my new favorite channels. You guys are such real, genuine people :)
I love your reviews Your sarcasm👌🏾👍🏾😘
Sam, I agree about reading. It was one of the things that reliably quieted my mind when I was going through heavy depression last year.
