Just to make sure you know. I dig this show because you tell a good life story. It’s real open and put together well. No other ulterior motives. Just a respect thing. Thank you for letting us into your life
I feel you 100% I’m just trying to find small things to express gratitude for to God…. I think we are all just living in many different chapters at this point
@@LynetteAdkins thank my darling, but everything I put my mind to do never works. I have Two children I’m 44 years old this year and I’m jobless and in a quiet panic and super stressed. I try to not let my children see me in that state though. It really sucks my dear, it really does I live in queens New York. Thank you for being so sweet and kind you help me a lot thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@BriW444 my darling when your mother can tell you the most horrible things in life to you it takes a toll and and that’s what I’m going through right now ❤️❤️❤️
I’m sorry you are in pain @talkswithG, please know that you are worthy and beautiful regardless of anything hurtful your mother or anyone else has ever said
I can relate on picking a part your appearance when editing for sure. Maybe it’s just me, but also as a black woman I feel even more pressure to make sure my curly hair looks “presentable”, and I can’t just wake up and wear my Afro as it is. Even tho my friends always tell me I look fine. I will say you always look great, but I also mostly watch bc I love to hear your thoughts ❤
Thissss yes! I also think bc so much luxury ‘high value’ content I see nowadays is with women with silk press hair, so I think I also deal with some insecurities with my curls sometimes. But natural hair is beautiful too so we just gotta keep reminding ourselves that! Thank you for saying this, nice to know others can relate
38:42 first i love the video overall. One of the reasons i run away from content creation is because of how much i pick myself apart/ tear myself down because i feel like whenever i randomly get a message to share i do not always look photo ready. Part of shedding the ego and taking off the masks has come in me just showing up anyway… no matter how aesthetically or not aesthetically pleasing i feel. I also am just remembering my why! Thank you for still sharing what you want with us, despite how you think you look, you are beautiful to us! ❤
we'll Lynette we all think you're a beautiful being inside and out. Take care when critiquing yourself, I 100% say that these minor imperfections we honestly don't see them. Our mind has the ability to make our insecurities the biggest mountain ever but to in the eye's of others we only see a kind, glowing human.🙏
i really appreciate how real u are. i was just talking to my therapist about how insecure i am of my skin and how much i think of my self image, then u started talking about ur own struggles with self image and dude...synchronicities. 'preciate u!
literally the realest youtuber i've found. thank you lynette, your videos have been such a comfort & inspiration for me this past year that I've been following you. ❤ & i love that youre in nyc bc i'm a ny born & raised & always felt like you had new yorker energy lol. love this era for you ✨
OMG, not him down there for an HOUR! 😆 I just wanted to give you a hug post-salon 🥹 Glad you're seeing the beauty in your hair. It looks rich & healthy with the cut & silky black. But hell yea, I would be pissed too. That's not a "trim". I'm so glad to see you in your gratitude era 👑 Hope you enjoy your trip! P.S. I love the lashes too! 🤷🏾♀️
Oh girl!! You look absolutely stunning in every single clip, filter or no filter, and the haircut is really cute too. You look amaziiiiing, don't even stress.
omg omg. never ever go to a dominican salon n ask for a trim. you have officially been initiated into nyc life. your hair grows quickly right? omg. you got this.
omg i can totally relate- to always comparing myself to another time i look better etc!! i thought i was the only one. thankk youuuu for being vulnerable
i just got to 39:55 where you said this job has messed with your brain a little. and i felt it. your points are *really* well-articulated 1. i hope you always remember you bring a really unique perspective to youtube with your marketing background and how much knowledge and experience you have in so many aspects of life. i'm 31 for refrence so im older but i think you said youre 24 25 and you really are very young to know all that you know. you are able to speak on the truths of reality in multiple different dimensions and you really bring a lot of wisdom and reminders and consistent motivation to A LOT of people. what you've just shared in this video is really vulnerable and real and very first-principles, fundamental-topics, key points, root-problems, high-concept type of information. simply put, i really appreciate it 2. bad skin can be really frustrating. i think ive commented abt that before. i still havent figured it out but the best ive figured out is that i did have issues with c. dificile toxins A and B in my gut so whenever i ate anything i had chronic pain and inflammation. so when i got that tested and treated, for the last year ive been pain free and with great skincare routine my skin is the best of my adult life. but i do think ill need to use something serious like accutane again to truly stay blemish-free. it sucks but like you said, beauty really is important, especially depending on your career and regardless if someones career is in beauty or not, it can super influence moods and happiness in general (in at least some people) 3. thankfully, you DO fit into the beauty standard and you CAN have a long & prosperous career in vlogging, content creation, and social media. ive been watching a lot of 50 cent interviews lately so its top of mind, but just make sure to properly leverage your entertainment/media career like the best have. he's a good example cause he eventually co-wrote The 50th Law book which is about power moves. he took his record money, did a $80m decades-long deal with Reebok and also i think just did plain smart consistent investing. he just put in his 10,000 hours into financial literacy and he crushed it. now he's worth $40m (cause taxes and expenses). and i hope you develop that deep financial security because it seems like you really could have it and i wish you all the luck in the world :) but obviously no pressure!! just want you to have the most freedom in your life, in whatever way you need!!! it has to be authentic so dont listen to me!!! lol alright shit i really wrote an essay but if we were chatting it would be like 10 minutes. GOOD LUCK IN NYC I BELEIVE IN YUOUUUU
I swear you’ve become my favorite RU-vidr been watching your videos since 2021 and EVERYTIME I watch your vlogs feels like I’m hanging out w my bestie🥹 also btw the roller coaster of emotions due to your hair had me cracking up.😂 Love you girl and keep being authentic ✨❤️
Girl Dominican salons are notorious for chopping up hair 😭 they dont know what a trim is.. That said your hair is really pretty and just think about how healthy its going to grow back especially since you just dyed it too!
I love this video so much, and felt everything all at the same time, like I felt every annoyance for you🥺 Maybe bc it’s my time of the month so my sensitivity is high as well lol But I always appreciate you for being so real❤
Since you’re in NYC tandoor oven Indian restaurant was sooo good when I went. This was in like 2019 lol so idk how it is now but if the food is still the same it’s really good 😍 Alsoo these Dominican salons do not know the meaning of “trim” they did the same thing to me 😭
50 mins of you? And I just finished your last video? You’re spoiling me Ms. Lynnn🥰… (I also have an unhealthy attachment to your videos and I’m working on that but please don’t stop b4 the year is over or I won’t make it😭)
I know what you mean about anxiety surrounding IG! I do the same thing, looking at my photos for way too long 😅 thank you for your videos! They are so comforting to watch. Your energy is so real - and soo happy for you living in ny now ❤✨
This vlog came at the perfect time !!! Lots been going on but love that your videos gives me so much life. Just as you were happy for the girl I'm happy for you !!! Wishing you well
Girl I love you sm 😂 !!! The whole hair thing!!! The way I was laughing and crying with you, that was insane One tip tho… maybe do the glow up things when you’re ovulating !!!!! 😂😂😭😭 not when you’re on your period, you’ll feel so much better and so much hotter, I promise
Omg Lynette 🥲 I feel your pain when you came back from the salon. The clip where you were sitting in the chair, I heard the music and was like oof, did she go to the Dominicans? Baby... They will do what THEY want 💀 you need to prepare mentally if you choose to go there. But it looked really nice tho
You look beautiful 🤩 Side note: this has happened to pretty much everyone I know who goes to/ been to Dominican salons in NY/NJ…. They get really scissor happy. Beautiful styling techniques usually but always tend to cut wayyyyy too much. Don’t be hard on yourself 💕 wishing you nothing but love and resiliency
I’m not gonna lie you the best looking person I’ve seen all day your too hard on yourself I feel because your on camera people watch you for a reason your amazing
Dude I cut my own hair right before my italy trip and I immediately popped open a wine bottle and cried in the mirror til I accepted it 😂😂😂😂 Now I love it….👉🏻👈🏻
girllllll i NEVER COMMENT on videos, but she did you dirt. Don't let nobody gaslight you, she did cut it odee short.....you still look amazing cuz you're naturally FINE. but fortunately, it'll grow back :)
Girl I get what you’re saying but just so you know yesterday I had to wash my hair and I didn’t take my time to do my hair and I looked at your curls in this video and I was like wow hers are so defined I should have put in more effort like I normally do but I’ve also been trying to do be gentle with myself and not put so much pressure on myself to “upkeep” everything like we’ve been conditioned to, as long as you’re taking care of yourself the way you’re suppose to and you’re healthy those other things are not always a necessity every day, I know that feeling all to well where you’re like I can look so much better and even in knowing that it’s a win, sometimes we need rest girl and we’re just at a phase where we’re trying to figure out other things, not really here to give you advice I’m just talking I know you these things lol I commented before while still watching the video, your hair looks cute boo but I think she did that on purpose too as a fellow curly hair girl she didn’t have to do all that but it still looks nice, I stopped going to stylist bc of that and I live in NY too, if you ever want to try it yourself I’ve been using this (link below) as a guide for my own hair for awhile now and that along with putting twists in my hair have made my hair flourish ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DsShnt48oho.htmlsi=GqbsGHNliB0DGYfX
I'm sorry that happened to you. the same thing happened to me with getting my hair cut at the Dominican salon. it took me a while to trust another stylist. I go to Curls by Candace now... she's located in NYC next time you need a trim.
When you said you couldn’t bother with dressing cute on your way into the city, as a fellow fashion girl I felt so seen. Sometimes I just don’t want to 😂
Heavy on the IG being for the girls. I hate my page rn because it’s just men… all over. I mention some relatable girl content in my stories and it’s just MEN I hate it.
Girl !!! Love your hair!! 😍 AND I’m screaming for that messenger bag!! Is there a website maybe where I can order it? I’m in Canada! Your videos are great and so fun!! ❤️
Aww Lynette, when you started crying I wanted to give you a hug! Thanks for showing your vulnerability. You didn’t have to! But I think that’s why I love your channel so much ❤ You’re super real and authentic. With that said your hair looks cute! Maybe she was trying to give it a “bob” look with the short length in the back. Regardless you have such a beautiful face you can pull anything off. Your hair doesn’t look as short as you may think it does… it still has some length in my eyes. Also it makes you have extra volume ☺️ As for your eyelashes; they’re not bad! I think they look nice. The “clumpiness” makes them look more natural as opposed to it being super wispy but honestly they don’t look bad at all. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. Your videos are so chill and relaxing lol. Hope you’re enjoying your trip 💕
"omg I should've said something" and "I think she did this shit on purpose" is literally every girl after the bad salon experience lol its a canon event every freaken time. I wish I knew how to cut my hair properly myself for this very reason.
So sorry she chopped you...especially when all you asked for was a tiny trim. Same thing happened to me exactly...including the too short on the back part😢. So angry...took 3 yrs to get back to normal. But you are always beautiful...seriously!!
Girl this is so funny I just ate toaster strudel this morning for the first time in forever! And was literally thinking “but I’m tryna be healthyyy.” You’re not alone 😅 Edit: almost to the end of the video now but I think your cut and dye looks so cute! I totally understand the mixed emotions of cutting off more than you anticipated though
I would be pissed about the hair too. You can pull of any look but I definitely feel you. I currently need a trim but don’t trust anyone for this very reason
I created a vision board (desktop background). Last year I put some of my inspirational women and women I resonated with for my dream life. You were one of them and this year when I was updating for 2024 vision board in December - I was adding places of travel too. Ironically enough I moved your photo around. Added my place of travel I want to go to this year above your picture back in Dec. The photos were 2 photos of NYC and as I was watching this vlog… I was like wait a damn min.
I just wanna reach through the screen and give u a big sisterly hug! You look really pretty and the dark hair is actually rly cute -also loving the long form content ❤❤
now you know good and well you can pull off any hair!!! messy-SLAY neat-SLAY! short, long-SLAY, SLAY! when i start picking myself apart like pillsbury layered biscuit, i listen to “i am not my hair” and “video” by india arie AND THEY PICK ME UP EVERY TIME!!! ❤
I was so into this video, I didn't even realize it was almost an hour long, lol. I really enjoyed this one!! Glad you started vibing with your new hair length!
girl, stop saying you look cr**y. u constantly say it in each video and now yr actually believing it when u actually look fine! start telling yourself how beautiful u are, because u are and u will believe it and manifest it as yr mindset!
i don't mean this negativity just pure projection and observation. it seems like you have a missing link between you and nature and it keeps you in this cycle of feeling an energetic blur. serving nature is serving ourselves, serving our selves thru only consumption and stimulation, anything that relates directly to us only, doesnt lead to fulfillment because its not actually producing life energy its just producing momentarily pleasure
I sort of agree with you, I hope she finds peace. Maybe it's also an American thing,but I find we all can get sucked into a loophole of materialism and obsession of appearance, but it's only momentary happiness and not long term.
Traditional dominicans do not know how to cut curls!!! Im dominican so i know. But ive also experienced a horrible cut with a white woman that is trained in divacut….. its honestly a gamble
I think your very beautiful ❤ and stylish I believe your dealing with insecurity it’s a spiritual matter rebuild by confronting the thoughts you hear If you think your hair looks ugly wear it anyway that would be you challenging the thought by doing exactly what it says is ugly so if you think the outfit is ugly after having a thought that it was cute wear it anyway ……and when it gets hard don’t forget to pray 😊
