A cottage self care routine + body and skin insecurities
THERE MAY BE AN EXTRA AD IN THIS VIDEO. I never put ads in the middle of my videos, however I decided that I would make a one-time exception in order to raise extra funds for wildfire relief efforts in my county. My valley is currently burning - I filmed this video before things got as serious and I will share an update soon. I hope you can understand that it is a one-time decision and I will take the advert down once I have made a donation ❤️ THANK YOU!

SOAP RECIPE: I just buy local bulk melt and pour goat’s milk soap and add additional honey and herbs and oatmeal. I add fragrance as well - very economical!
PRODUCTS I USE:
(I recommend Dr. Dray on RU-vid for advice for skin conditions! She busts skincare myths and helped me drastically improve my acne)
Products I use for my oily, sensitive, irritation and acne prone skin (eczema friendly skin care. I also use Differin for my acne. Please research how to use each item):
Cerave Healing Ointment
amzn.to/3iCxdQf
Cerave Calming Cleanser
amzn.to/3BCtV8H
Gentle Moisturizer
amzn.to/3iDiFQm
Shampoo for dandruff prone thick curly hair (clarifying, this helps me keep my scalp clean with very thick hair, the nozzle helps apply directly to the scalp and not dry out hair. It has salicylic acid in it that helps exfoliate the scalp. I only wash my hair once a week so it really helps as a stronger clean.)
amzn.to/3kHRUwV
Differin for acne (slow working and takes up to months to see results, but delivers results. Research how to properly use it or it will not work for you.): amzn.to/36Po69y

Important Channel Update + how you can help + possible evacuation :(
A lot of wildfires in my part of the world this month. Many homes lost, unbreathable air, power outages, and an enormous fire burning through my valley. Seems there will be no respite for a couple months unfortunately, until rain comes. This is not meant to perpetuate fear, only update you on my situation. This is not abnormal for this area. It is important to stay positive and focus on caring for each other at this time ❤️ We are all safe and our town is facing the destruction together and supporting those who have lost their homes. It’s a long road ahead, and this disaster will affect my channel in several ways:
1. When I first heard about of the fires I worked ahead and made some videos, knowing the blue skies might disappear. Soon I’m hoping to get some respite from the smoke by visiting family on the coast.
2. I do not want this channel to be focused on the wildfires, these videos are my haven to retreat from stressors like this (especially since we will probably have fires until fall, and I do not want to dwell on it more than needed). However, I will make a single video on this topic soon updating you on the situation, hoping by then to know whether or not my home is safe and no evacuation will be needed.
3. HOW YOU CAN HELP: If you feel inclined to help with any relief efforts I will be donating half of the proceeds from this weeks video to support our natural areas and firefighters, so simply by watching it you will be able to help.
4. At this time it is unknown, but I may have to evacuate on very short notice. That means there may be an unexpected halt in my video postings with no updates, as power outages and smoke may not allow me a stable enough wifi connection for uploading.
5. For more information and ways to help, here are some relevant links:

@soilgrasswaterair 2 года назад

External beauty is usually considered as something that diminishes with age due to external beauty standards set by society. Beauty comes in many different forms and ages, even though society has indoctrinated people to believe the only/highest form of external beauty comes in the form of white, youth and slender. With that said, they way people look is never a reason to admire or wish to be close to them. It’s the inner qualities to look for in each other. /Scandinavian

i just adore the scenes where you do things with your hands. breaking down wildflowers and herbs; laying them out to dry; mixing them with oils in niftily lidded jars; mixing ingredients for baking, handling the hot baked goods, lathering on a layer of some delectable spread you made and decorating it with flowers or herbs. and string! oh my, the endless wondrous things you do with raw twine! i could watch your sensitive sure hands all day long. there is such clarity and comfort in their movements, a familiarity and intimacy between your fingers, the materials you handle and your intentions. clearly all the moves you make and all the objects you handle are old friends and your connection to them is tender and true. it is all quite magical, really, and watching it never fails to bring a peaceful meditative delight to this viewer. thank you, for this dance in particular. may you, all your creatures and your valley be well.

@1888starz 3 года назад

Hello Paola, like you I've spent many years worrying about my image, looks, shape etc but realize that we are all different, have different looks and shapes and that's why we're all unique. I spent my teens worrying about my pimples, but they vanished and I was always ready to wear make-up to make me feel better. As I grew up (literally) I realized that our looks are what makes us who we are and there is no-one any better than any one else. We must love ourselves first and appreciate our differences. A good diet is the best remedy for health, body image and looks. Blessings to you.

@Fitzy222 3 года назад

Funny how we perceive ourselves.💚 You've always reminded me of one of those literary heroines from Jane Austen's time, with their classic beauty (the kind that transcends the "fashions" of the times). Their beauty was so skillfully written about as a beauty (both internal AND external) that they were never fully aware of-like an Elizabeth Bennet from Pride and Prejudice. Thank goodness female written literature of such quality survived to our times as, let's face it, it takes a female to properly write about the irony of naturally beautiful women who are not fully aware of that beauty. Take care, Paola.

I think you are absolutely beautiful. I come from 2 bloodlines of toxic, abusive, appauling behaviour. It has bothered me for so many years, and sometimes I make up characters in my mind of people I would love to say I come from. Maybe this is partly why I enjoy reading so much! However, as I get older I am learning I was unable to chose my family/heritage and I'm not defined by them. I am my own person and I can make a beautiful life despite where I come from.

Well said ❤️ my grandmother broke a cycle of generational abuse in her family - while I am not proud of those people in my immediate past, I focus instead the culture and ancestral ties of people who came far before them, my Taíno indigenous roots as well.

@karenmininni4962 3 года назад

@@TheCottageFairy Thank you for sharing this information. I have been attempting to break cycles of family abuse as well.

@brightpurpleviking 3 года назад

So beautiful. You are wise to come to these conclusions at such a relatively young age. As a woman in her fifties, I encourage you to continue doing your body a great favor by not being in the sun all the time. However make sure you do get some “pure sun” time with no sunscreen so you can fully absorb the rays as we are photo dependent on the sun for a healthy life. Some direct sun is good but all in moderation of course! Just like those who go “earthing” and take off their shoes to connect to the earth through contact with their feet, connecting with sun, wind, rain, and even the snow is good for our bodies. What a journey we are all on! Take care and be safe in your beautiful valley.

Awe, I’m so sorry you’re going through that. It’s not easy but have you ever imagined if you would talk to a friend instead of yourself? Imagine your amazing, kind, smart and beautiful friend is growing a human in their belly all by themselves! A mini human looking like her and her husband. What would you say to this friend, I’m sure its nothing alike what you might feel about yourself. You’re growing a little miracle right there and I’m convinced you look absolutely amazing in the eyes of everyone who knows you. Maybe you need a little break, a quiet day out in nature or a spa day where you really feel and look inside - what do you actually think about yourself and how much of it is shame about how others might see you? I know to me, my mother is always the most beautiful. Loose skin, stretchmarks and all. None of it matters when she smiles. I hope so much for you that you are able to enjoy this magical time - you deserve it so much

I went through a similar experience when I was pregnant with my little girl and the only thing I can tell you is that once you hold that baby in your arms you will only remember your pregnancy as the miracle that brought you the most precious gift. I don't even remember how I looked pregnant but I do remember the little kicks and I miss them dearly.

I have suffered from acne since age 12. Now in my 30’s, I still with it. It comes and comes and I’ve tried it all. Veganism, sugar free or low sugar diet, Whole Foods, skin care routine. Everything has helped a bit but a skin care routine given to me by my dermatologist has made a huge difference. No oils on my face whatsoever. But stress and hormones always flare things up on my face and back. So it’s a constant battle. I also have very curly hair. And since the age of 15 I had been straightening my hair all the time. No one knew other than my family knew I had curly hair. 2 years ago I started my natural hair journey and I love my curls and now they are coming back to life. I’m learning to love myself just as I am. 😊 I appreciate this topic and this video.

@TheCottageFairy 3 года назад

Ahh! I love your story about your hair. I feel the same, hormonal issues keep my acne coming back consistently, but yes I also got improvement after following a experts regime. You’re right though, I’ve accepted I will probably always have flare ups, it’s been a journey to accept it as part of me and find peace in it ❤️ thank you for your thoughts

@danat5983 3 года назад

I finally found my hormonal acne problems with a good food journal. Logging everything I ate, my skin condition, bowel issues and energy. I am so grateful for that tool! My culprits ended up being gluten and dairy. I had horrible acne around my period and after those changes I rarely break out. Magnesium and zinc deficiencies are sometimes a culprit. I think health is the most beautiful thing you can wear 😍

I’m so serious though, she’s absolutely right. I have PCOS and my skin cleared up and my cycle regulated itself when I made a SERIOUS effort at losing weight and changing my diet. Sugar will fuck you up on every level of your body. I still have hair growing on my neck and chin, but it doesn’t grow as fast now. There’s such a connection between insulin and other hormonal systems in your body.

@gemmagomez3556 3 года назад

I love the way you worded how genetics shape our bodies - hearing the word "inherited" legitimately made me tear up, because it's true that we look the way we do for a reason, because people in the past looked the same way.

@gemmagomez3556 3 года назад

It reminds me of a song I heard a few times, where the line (in a different language) goes roughly like - "He stood with the stern expression he inherited from his grandfather", but the English translation doesn't do justice for the word "inherited". It's really implied to have more of an active, participatory inflection - the literal translation is more of a "the face that he took [with] heritage", which I think is beautiful.
