Some things I learned that have come to heart: 1. Surround yourself with people smarter than you. 2. Enjoy the little things. 3. My mom always said a woman appreciates a man who can cook. 4. It's okay to be silly sometimes. 5. Don't put your peanut butter and jelly/jam sandwich in a panini press.
I once was having the absolute worst day, and 2 different girls told me they liked my outfit randomly when I was walking by and it made me feel better and probably saved me from crying when I got home. I have no idea why that happened; maybe the universe just knew I needed that. Maybe that’s shallow, but I just needed a pick me up that day. I definitely agree, compliment people when you’re thinking it, it may change their whole day
its weird to know your age because I always considered you to be like...ageless. like you have a lot of wisdom and confidence that suggests a lot of years but you look young and you have a youthful, exuberant energy so its just like oh, 27-neat. im 27 too but your confidence and overall energy/vibes super impress me!
something i've learned is to wear a dress on laundry day! you feel much cuter while doing chores and also dresses don't get "dirty" the way other clothes do so you can literally wash everything you own :)
Happy birthday irene! Even though it’s not your birthday yet! I’ve been watching you for around 7 months now and you’ve made me so so so happy! I hope you have the most amazing birthday ever and spend YOUR birthday time however you want! I love you so much irene!
I turn 27 in October, and I've been feeling kind of anxious over it since I feel like I've done nothing in my life. But somehow, knowing Irene is also (almost) 27 makes me feel a lot better. Happy birthday, Irene!
Happy birthday!!🎉🎉🎉 Here's the number one tip that I've recently learned: you deserve to communicate your truth without fearing that the other person will leave you. If they do leave, they weren't the right person for you.
OH MY GOD CORRECT. NEVER DOWNLOAD MY FITNESS PAL. Girl I had to get it for A CLASS for a GRADE. It sucks cuz now I have an account and occasionally I'll go back to it
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! You share this day with my aunt! I hope you both have just a wonderful day! Yay! Leo love!!! I am on the 21st! Lastly, I love your tips and hope everyone has a good takeaway from it! Great tips! P.S. Enjoy the journey! You matter!
Happy Birthday Irene!! Sending you so much love- you have really made such a big difference in my life without knowing it! Also please teach me how to say no lol
Listen I’ve been waiting for a SIGN to tell me to stop counting calories. It’s been a year and a half. The “never download my fitness pal” made me die laughing. Thanks for that ❤️
loved all these! I'm also about to turn 27! Some of the things I've learned is People won't break apart(critize) all you did while interacting with them they'll appreciate the interaction because we all need and crave human interaction so speak to people hang out and just enjoy it 💕 Something worth doing is worth half doing then not doing it at all You dont need to be in class to continue learning, watch youtube videos search articles. Its exciting to increase your knowledge in any topic Giving is better then receiving be generous and you'll feel more complete and happy Do things alone! It can be scary but it's so nice to enjoy your own company it helps in so many ways Be a tourist in your own city. Lately I've discovered so many cool places 20ish mins from me that I had no idea existed! That's all for now. Love your vids rene!
i have nothing against small talk. i have something against MYSELF. i don’t understand how to do small talk. i don’t understand how not to make it awkward. it’s just a script innit. if i don’t understand something, i don’t like it.
Sorry Irene, small talk definitely isn’t for me. It might sound bad, but I’m genuinely not interested in connecting with anyone through small talk. I’m highly introverted and it really drains me 😖 at 28 I learned it was 100% never worth my energy
YES! Don't settle for something almost good enough. It's not good enough. "making it work" is nowhere near good enough. This goes for anything in life! Clothes, life partners, meals. Also I really love to tell people on the street when they look good, especially when you can see they made an effort.
Watching this on August 4th 😅 so Happy Birthday to our amazing little Irene! Being 29 my little piece of advice would be to not be afraid of cutting ties with toxic people. This goes for not only friends but family members.. sometimes blood is not thicker than water and just because you come from the same tree doesn't mean you're obligated to keep those people in your life if they bring more harm than good because that's not good for your mental health.
Curiosity is never a bad thing. I have been shamed my entire life for wanting to know how and why. Don’t let that change you. You should look at the world with wonder, it’s a beautiful thought process because without questioning, we would not be where we are today
Irene i have a great video idea! You could like do an advice column type video and we could ask you like "ask abby" style but "ask Irene" and do a video response to people who asked your advice. I thought of this as i was watching this video cuz i wanted to ask your advice. I wish i could call you up for advice like were friends lol cuz you would give the best advice!
Thank you so much for the video. I have had a such a tough mental health rut recently and you have really lifted my spirits in this video. I do feel more inspired to be my best self right now and I haven’t felt like that recently. Thank you :)
Happy Birthday Irene. I believe that everyone should have the best birthday that they can in this new year in a safe way and that includes you. So have an amazing birthday today.
My best piece of advice is to stop being apologetic for being excited or outgoing, being yourself when it poses no harm to others is a wonderful thing and the right people will see it. Stop being apologetic for being who you are
You’re a little younger and a lotta wiser. Love you, Reenie. Thanks for the advice. The first 6 I LITERALLY did in real time. (Re: #5 I already have a killer handshake 😉)
Happy early birthday! You are the sweetest person ever. I just wanted to take a lesson from this video and tell you I’m grateful for how open you were about your ED. You coming out with the info you did really honestly helped me pull out of the spiral I was in after getting diagnosed with mine. You never know who you’re helping, but your strength gave me strength and I’m very grateful for that. I hope you have the best birthday ever. ❤️❤️ 👑
My dad has the same piece of advice every year (usually given out at New Years but also sometimes at birthdays) and that is: don’t let any day suck! I’ve taken this to mean find something in every day to be happy about/grateful for. No bad days. Bad moments, but really strive for there to be something good in each day (easier said than done)!
Hello beautiful 🥰 I wish you a very happy birthday! Its not quite August 4th but none the less, you deserve the absolute best! I wish you the best for you and your future! ❤🎂
I think we all know at least one martyr... Anyway, I think the most important of these for myself is to just let things be. Let them go. It's the hardest thing for me to do but I have to realize things are out of my control and it's nothing I can do about them. It just is what it is.
