a personal q+a | marriage, motherhood, life updates 

I love the fact that you didn’t get into why you don’t want to get married. It’s so amazing to see RU-vidrs setting boundaries with personal topics. I have always wanted to get into RU-vid but that’s such a fear of mine but you handled that so gracefully!

I agree, I think everyone should have their own opinions about marriage and that’s it. It’s not really debatable it’s personal

You should do home updates sorta in the style of Paige Wassel! Instead of one big reveal you could just show changes you’re making along the way. Get more content out of it and show like the real process of putting a home together. :)

glad you did a cop out video bc hearing your attitude towards life is such a breath of fresh air. love how unbothered you are

7:00 facts. I used to plan things when I was in my teens and nothing turned out the way I planned at all. I'm so glad I abandoned that stuff in my 20's. I graduated college at 20 and moved away with zero expectations for life. I have a friend who planned everything from the time we were little and never changed her plan: 2 years community college and then 2 years dental hygiene school and then followed everything to a t, but you can't plan for relationships/marriage/baby really. She wanted to be engaged for 2 years, married for 3-5 years, buy a house and then have a baby and now she's 29 and newly single and it's really rough for her, because she feels like time is running out biologically.

Thank you for sharing Laini! I would love to hear you talk about how you developed confidence in knowing what you want from life. It seems like you really know what you want, and don’t let the pressure of societal norms influence you. This is a skill I’m trying to develop!

Fellow high school sweetheart couple person - the amount of people asking us when we are getting married never goes down. (It’s been 11 years now since we started dating) like we’re in our 20s still calm down 😂😭

Your boundaries around you and your family’s privacy makes me like your content even more!

I love that you learned early on in life not to worry about other people's opinions. (It took me too long to get there) You have such a beautiful little family and I see every day how happy & relaxed you are. I'm so proud of you.💘

the goals part?? you're so real for that. felt that to my core

I would really love to see videos about the house even before the decor is 'finished' ! And even if the decor is more practical. Would be a nice change

I love getting more personal content so when you're comfortable sharing id love more videos like this

the way you give off this easy going energy and confidence is so inspiring to me. like i always thought i'd be someone to research everything before having a baby - i have a tendency to overthink - but you have this easy going attitude that is literally so relieving for me to see. i even became a slip on shoe girl bc of u!! lots of love

i can't get over the fact that all the youtubers I'm watching also watch each other (eg you, susielola, paige wassel etc)! Also I liked hearing you say that you don't really have any goals of achieving anything right now, because I always get scared of running out of goals to keep me going and constantly trying to achieve more is so engrained in our society, but in the end thats all just trying to be content so why shouldn't we rest and actually be content. Loving your content rn :)

when you said you watch paige i got so happy!! it’s like we have formed a little youtube universe

I love adding your videos into my queue because you're so honest and REAL and I love how you put things in this. Your calm collected but still down to earth confidence is inspiring!

you’re the realest there is. i adore you with ever fiber of my being.

always and forever appreciate your honesty and candor laini! thank you for sharing your life with us, you're a breath of fresh air

Hi Laini!! Love your videos, u have helped me really find my style and come into my own, while realising I can make so many outfits out of the clothes I already have: thank you for always helping us!

yaaasss 💛 i’m so excited!

Yes!! You’ve helped me stand behind my own thoughts, feelings, fashion choices, and purchasing habits. As well as not worrying about other people’s opinions and I thank you for it!! Especially since we’re literally a year apart (I believe) 💖🥰

Laini ur so cool ily

ilysm ur everything!!!

Nice job, Laini!❤❤

I alwayssss watch your videos and never commented haha, you’ve helped me get out of my box with my style in a practical way if that makes sense! Can’t wait to see how your house comes along ❤❤

Through your RU-vid videos I can 100% tell you went to school for journalism which I think is super neat :)

I looove q and as! Cop out or not whateverrrrr!

laini off the topic but i always love your thumbnails, they're always so pretty!!

I use the Wow hair serum when I want to straighten my hair with the blow dryer. My hair is normally wavy, but sometimes I want to where it straight. I like it because it is really shiny.

Love your videos, always superior presentation!!!!! 👊😊👍

Laini, you give me such introverted vibes! I never expected that prior to this Q+A. Am I right?

You should do a Home Tour Before video when your home is empty and then a After video where we can compare how far it's come

heart 💗💗

I aspire to be this content with everything in my life lol

Whoa. Winona Ryder?

Loved this video! Still dying to know what ended up happening with your bus though, it was so cool 👀

love you too

I'm the opposite, I'm pregnant now and I'm always nauseous and not gaining weight super well. I actually lost weight in the beginning because I could not eat, I don't know how you are just able to eat through any nausea because when I got to that point (and it was pretty early in my pregnancy) I could eat for 5 minutes and then nausea would set in... so I'd try to eat as much in the first 5 minutes because I knew after that I'd be done and would end up falling asleep for the night. I got medication to take at night which fixed it, I didn't take it one night at the end of my first trimester thinking it would have subsided and it was way worse than before when I woke up the next day... so now I'm scared to stop taking it.

Metro Detroit viewer here! 👋 I also attended GVSU.

I feel so seen i also never want to get married and literally could not care less about it even tho I've been with my boyfriend for 4 years hahaha

Do you have a blurrring filter on this video?

what are you doing with the studio while you’re in the house?

I sort of love that you don't have more goals like in a rigid sense... f*** capitalism haha, more people who are in a good place in their career need to say, I'm happy with where I am and not promote constant progress and greed

Not wanting to get married seems to me to be fairly common among young female RU-vidrs. When I was your age, people got married. If I could have earned enough money to live on, if I could have bought a car or house without a male co-signer, maybe I wouldn’t have gotten married-but, I couldn’t do any of those things. Stick with RU-vid. Women need their own incomes.

pls make sure u have ur power of attorney / advance directives updated since u don't plan on getting married just for legality shit

so glad for you to be this peaceful and happy with your choices and with your life in general!!! love to see it 💕🌟 also next sneaker trend imo is massive skater shoes like dc’s and adidas campus (the wide ones) 🫢🫢

Hoping to get to this point in my life where what other people think of me is the last thing I could think of and where I am truly 100% certain with my life choices and stop second guessing every decision I make, you’re killing it momma 🫶🤍
