How I Stay Happy 

Do a husband does my makeup/hair challenge

Whenever I get down I always go for a walk. But since there is so much snow on the ground and sidewalks, I can't go for a walk. I sit down on my floor and just walk old disney movies from when I was little. It always gets me out of the funk and makes me smile.

Normally I get very stressed with school, and what I do is just take a long hot shower and listen to some T-Swift or other type of music deppending on how I'm feeling Thanks for more ideas! It's been a month since I've been subscribed to your 3 channels, and It's one of the greatest things I've done in my life, you're one of my options when I'm feeling down to cheer my up, and I hope I get to meet you some day, because you are 2 wonderful people that I consider as my best friends, even if you don't know I exist I love you guys soooo much Thank you

I like this video.....whenever I feel down, I love to read my Bible, go to church, do zumba, or go to chuck e cheeses, win a butt load of tickets and give them to an unsuspecting child before I leave! I've been struggling lately to do any of this because the recent passing of my mom has got me down in the dumps......thank you for this video, to motivate me to get back out there!!

I've been sick for the past couple of days and I've been watching videos to make me feel better. I'm happy to say this is one of those videos, thank you Amanda!

OMG the glasses tho! Yasss So good! Keep it up Amanda you are amazing!

Loads of people always are just boring at my school, but since I'm happy and jolly all the time I just cheer them up! I don't have a way to stay happy, I just am!

Yoga, yes! I checked out Yoga with Adrienne and have been doing a little here and there. This cold weather has everyone, including me, feeling depressed and getting sick. Just sitting down for half an hour to stretch has me feeling amazing!

As someone who is currently not having a very easy time and is constantly stressed with school and family drama, I really appreciate you just making such a positive lighthearted video! It's really nice to see those once in a while. Thank you for the tips :)

It never ceases to amaze me how good exercise can make me feel. Not while I'm doing or immediately after, I'm normally dying on the ground then, but later I just feel really good. I also enjoy a good bath. We have a shower in the master bathroom but I use the tub in the kids bathroom and then I get to play with toys too.

To improve my depressing moments I watch RU-vid in all honestly nothing makes me happy like people like you

I'm suffering from depression rn and I tried some of the things you did and it helped a little bit thank you so much

I love to dance sometimes to a sad song or happy song. I feel when I do that I am releasing all of my emotions through dance plus I love doing it one of my favorite things to do besides watching all three of your awesome and uplifting channels

This video has literally come at THE best time for me. I've been super down lately from loosing my job and having health issues to then find out that both my grandparents are super Ill and I've been finding it hard to deal with. I've just finished reading the third Harry Potter book! They take you into a whole other world and it's great. I also love a good bubble bath and crying it out and talking to my other half has definitely been keeping me sane! Even if I look and sound mental when I'm crying. Plus yours and Matthias' videos keep me smiling. It's impossible to be sad with you two on the screen! So thank you so much for that you're awesome :). Ps sorry for the long comment. :/. Lol.

When I feel down I look at RU-vid videos or listen to music I really love and dance around because I think it may be impossible to be sad when you dance. lol I have a few video ideas but you may not like them: 1: More q&a's (it really helps get to know who you are), 2: husband vs wife challenge 3: how about like a story series type thing where you can let us know funny stories from things you experienced through your life? 4:Would you be interested in doing a video about your wedding day? I know that's a really private thing to let us in to but I must admit I'd love to see photos of the day and know what sort of stuff ye did and had at the wedding. I bet it was amazingly beautiful and fun. lol I'm sure whatever ideas you choose to go through with will be amazing. :)

I really like this because as someone who has struggled and sometimes continues to struggle with chronic depression, I've tried very hard to change my mindset and create a more positive attitude. Your channels have helped me with that along the way, as well as some minor lifestyle changes and whatnot. All I can say is thank you, I've tried some of these for myself under many different circumstances and at least one of them seems to help.

This video made me happy 😊 I go through short spurts of depression quite a bit, and sometimes it's really hard to get out of. Whenever I get like this I always write down in great detail how I'm feeling and it really helps! Also, I know this is gonna sound so cheesy, but meeting you and Matthias (I was the girl that cried 😝) literally pulled me out of a burst of depression that I was going through at the time. So thanks! ❤️❤️

I've been feeling really down and sad and hurt these past couple of days and then to see this video made me feel not alone, there is something about the RU-vid community that always makes me feel welcomed. Thank you ***** for uploading this

Thanks for a great video, Amanda!! I loved it!! If you're looking for ideas, I'm always a fan of makeup stuff. If you don't want to do a full tutorial, maybe give advice to people who want to get into makeup but don't know where to start. As for getting happy: I have depression, so I find myself in that low place a lot. Thankfully, I've developed some good coping tools over the years. Therapy is HUGE for me, like you said, just talking it out with someone! Also, I love to go to bookstores, craft things out of polymer clay, play with my parents' dog, and experiment with my makeup. And watching uplifting videos like yours and Matthias' helps a lot too!

Wow I love this! Thanks Amanda :) Yeah I've been feeling down for so long now, University is so much more lonely than I thought it would be. I still live at home so hanging out with my parents and high school friends helps a lot, taking baths, reading a good book, getting lost on youtube helps, just throwing myself into my readings and actually going to talk to professors helps, and meditation and thinking positive! Meditation and yoga are really great. Lastly, I'd like to see more videos about daily life things like this one, and maybe if you're into it, more social justice issue videos, maybe about bigger issues so we can just have a discussion. You're great!

I really love the "go for a walk" idea when it's paired with stopping by my favorite store :) Though I live in the country, so my favorite store is about a 25 minute drive.

This isn't just a great video, it's really beautiful. Your positive mental attitude is an inspiration and it's so uplifting. Watching this has just cheered me up so much, between getting down from the stress of college and living away from home I've been a little down so your positive attitude has just encouraged me to think more positive :) Thank you!

wow this is amazing ! thank you i needed this

Thanks for posting this hun.. We all get into that slump sometimes and its nice to hear you're not the only one feeling that way :) Great ideas and a fun healthy perspective to finding the way out of it. As for what videos... I love yalls vlog channel but what I'd really love to see on here are more look books, book reviews, favorites of the month videos and some fun challenges maybe? Hope you're having an awesome day! Looking forward to the next video :D (Never too much Harry Potter btw)

Thanks Amanda! Been feeling a bit down in the dumps lately because I've been in pain (back, shoulder etc) so videos like this really help push my spirits up :) Hope you're having a great week. God bless x

I feel alone and down a lot I have epilepsy my hands shake really bad whenever I'm out people stare or laugh at me! I watch your videos they really cheer me up :) and I love the Mattanda vlogs :) Thank you for helping me get through tough days

Hi Amanda this was pretty amazing but your video uplifted me and I will try some of the things you mentioned. I watch mattanda all the time especially when I'm feeling down. I really love rhis vid so more of these would be amazing

I loved this video! I catch myself being in a bad mood sometimes and I just think about if my reasoning really makes sense and 98% of the time it doesn't. Have to keep up those grateful happy vibes! Also I totally agree with all your methods and the bath idea! I took one the other day with some bath salts because my back was hurting, and listened to music with candles! And no more back pain and it was amazing!

Im so happy you uploaded this video right now! I feel like I'm in a period of time where I'm really stressed with school and my creative side is pretty much non-existenting.. I love how positive and happy you are and you always make my feel better! *Thank you!

Seeing such positive young people like ya'll is very encouraging to me. Love watching you guys. This is the kind of content I want my children to see. Thanks! #oldfan

My QOTD answer is more essential oils please! You talk about them a lot, and I'm curious. Just one whole video on how to use them (which out of the three main ways is best?), what proportions, what not to do, what each oil is for, your diffuser, etc. :)

Hi Amanda! I just wanted to tell you, I was terrified to be myself and because of you I decided to start my RU-vid channel! Thank you so much for inspiring me! :) Love from Minnesota!

Hey ***** Just saying thank you for having such a helpful and entertaining channel. I'm sick right now 👎 (headache, fever etc.) And I can't really do anything except lie in bed in the dark. I started watching your channel on my tablet and I found myself entertained and feeling a bit better! You have a bubbly personality that's just fun to even watch. Thanks alot! Kate

Thanks I've been missing home and needed a small way to lift me up and one of your sugestions helped! Now I'm feeling better!

I think a cute/cool video would be advice on random other things too like dating or other things that people suggest. I don't know what the majority would like though, I'm bad at suggestions XD

"No, I don't want you, get away!" Haha so funny! I love watching your stuff Amanda! :) This video has already made me happier! Harry Potter to cheer you up is the BEST option! I sat and re-watched HP1 last weekend and kept thinking 'they're so tiny and cute!' Keep making tutorials! Because you're qualified and actually KNOW what you're doing, I put my complete trust in your advice regarding makeup/skincare and style too! Less about the products themselves, but rather how to apply them, what types for what skin etc.

Nice video! I have the same tips as you when I feel very down. The best ones which work for me are usually talking, a good cry and watching something. Usually a funny movie, or youtube video like yours. They put me in such a good mood

Just saying because I need to let go of my emotions. I think I was always shy to begin with, but I'm trying my best to change that. I know changing yourself is bad, and I have to be myself , but this kind of shy is really bad. The bad that makes your life ruined. 1. It ruined my friendship with others. I couldn't stand up for them. I could not tell them how I feel what they're doing wrong and I want them to stop. I couldn't express anything just because I was "afraid". Afraid of losing her, but instead I lost her from being me. 2. Being shy made me fall down more as in getting more insecure. People kept saying why are you so quiet, I don't take that seriously, but I have this feeling people talk that nobody wants them me in their group because I can't talk loud or I'm not funny. It never happened....it was all up in my mind. The enemy is me. 3. Lastly, my family. Others spend time with family and such, but me I stay in a room, alone. Sometimes I think it was them who made me shy, laughing and making fun of each other. I guess that's what cousins do? I don't know. Now I'm more apart from my whole family than I ever was when I was little. I'm just mad. PEOPLE WHO DONT WANT TO READ A LOT: Basically, it ruined my life with friend and family problems. Another is me. ;-;

Ohhhh please do a quote challenge where your given a movie and you have quote from it! I saw the one with you and Matthias a while back and it was awesome!

Crying helps best for me as I'll still feel bad after any of those things don't get me wrong I feel a bit better but just crying and letting it all out makes me fell way better.

Loved this video! Whenever I get upset, I go to my bed put on some soothing music and rest up. It really calms me down (:

whenever im feeling down i either read my favorite books (right now im reading the warrior cats series and tbh its awesome) or watch yours and matthias' videos. they just brighten up my day and make me smile!! :^)) you two are always so positive, it just makes me happy! so thank you for making these awesome videos for us to enjoy!!!

I have subbed to your husband for a while but yesterday I found your videos and I love them! I have bingewatched your vlogs and your videos. You are really talented and I really enjoy that you put out a great deal of different content from other poeple! I am starting to feel sick so when I saw this it made me happier!

This is such a cute, sweet video! That Parks and Recs reference made me cry inside a little. Too bad it ended yesterday.

Since Easter is basically around the corner, maybe you could do Easter Day Nails, I'm always looking forward to new ideas for nails even though I'm not good at nails. That's actually one of the main reason why I subscribe.

OMG thank you for making this! I've been quite depressed lately with school drama, very long story ;( but I'm definitely going to try some of these! Also I have a QOTD answer: a video (or a few) I REALLY want to see from you is definitely 100% some hair tutorials! Your hair always looks so good in your videos I would love to learn the styles you do 😄❤️

Thank you so much Amanda this really lifted my spirit! You are amazing!

Great video! I love the editing! I have also been feeling a bit sad these days but seeing something like this really makes me feel happy again!

I love a good parks and recreation reference

Thanks for sharing this! I've been in a rut for awhile now and never seemed to get any better. Im gonna try these tips and see how it works!

QOTD: I know I've said this before but I do really like your healthy food-snack videos. Though of course I do like all the different types of videos your put out. I actually really liked your Lazy Winter Morning video and how you mixed together all kinds of things into one video that told a story while giving great ideas. Keep up the great work!!! ;)

***** Nice vid! I think we all needed this one.I have a book series to suggest for maybe you or Matt. Theres this book series called MEG ( I think Matt might be more interested more than you considering the book is pretty violent) Its about a 70 ft not-so-prehistoric shark called a Megalodon that os unintentionally lured to the surface and it munches on a bunch of people! The book has lots of science the characters are done perfectly, and the plot is absolutely terrific! Its Jurassic Park meets Jaws. The series are great theres 4 books with the final 5th one to come out somewhere in the summer (no official release date.) The author is Steve Alten.I hope all is well with you and Matt and anyone else who reads this comment. Keep up the great work on your channel the Mattanda channel and Matt also is doing great work on his channel :)

Hi Amanda, I just found your channel and you are simply amazing! School gets me like.. sooo annoyed. I don't like the people in my school, they only care about popularity and trends.. And my 'friends' are all like rich kids and then they complain about not havig enough stuff. I just get so irritated and I don't know how to make myself feel better.. Your videos make me happy tho :) I'm doing a marathon tomorrow haha :)

Amanda.. Thank you so much.. This is the video I wanted to see :) I was depressed today so I tried drawing but I got art blocked that I got even more depressed.. I looked through Matthias' channel and yours (my top 2 favorites) and I'm glad you guys have RU-vid channels because both of you have cheered me up.. Thank you :)

Amanda I loved theses tips!!! They are sooo helpful !! Thxs

Amanda, you have such a cute personality. I don't know if you'll ever read this but you are just so cute and adorable and beautiful and absolutly gentle. You deserve all the happiness.

I've been depressed for 2 weeks (2 weeks ago:( ) because someone very special to me ( u may not know him ) Daniel kyre died not too long ago. He's a very funny youtuber from cyndago and he's markipliers friend. He meant a lot to me and other people and I've been crying and not wanting to do ANY THING for the past week. I didn't want to play video games, go to my friend's party, go outside or any thing. I just wanted to curl up into a ball and die. Daniel committed suicide and ur vids really helped me get through depression and suicidal thoughts. And I'm really thankful because of u, And Matthias. Thank you for saving my life❤️

So commenting months later haha:) one thing I make sure to do is write 3 good things about my day even if it's small it makes me realize when I was upset or annoyed it wasn't as bad as it seemed in those occasions where I happened to be sad. It helps me sleep better:)

Hey Amanda! Really enjoyed this video. It was super cute. Your positivity uplifts my spirit! I also love your button down! It looks super cute on you and am curios about what type of pants you wore with that? I love seeing any video you put out there. My particular favorites have been your look book, getting ready and skin care videos. Though your videos on snacks are close second on faves. Can't wait for the next video !

Thank you, Amanda! I've been struggling with staying positive about building my channel because its not really happening(at least at the speed I want), and also I'm questioning a lot of what I'm doing with my life right now. I'm not the best at anything and I do constantly compare myself to others, which is not a fun trait to have, I know. But this made me feel so much better! I'll be sure to use some of these tricks. Thanks again! :)

I have been feeling really stress and down. So stress with work. BTW, I'm a graphic designer sooo I'm stress cuz my creative juice is running out and so tired from working long hours. 😭😭 Amanda Faye you are just awesome !

Great video, I have a suggestion for a video, Decorate with Amanda maybe like something crafty like show us step by step how you would decorate your new tissue box for example if you wanted something like that.

This video made me happy :) When I ever feel sad I go and watch a bunch of my fav RU-vidrs video`s, re-read my fav books,listen to music or sometimes listening to a podcast :D

Oh I feel you. But this video made me super happy!

Ok I know I'm late but Amanda, you're an amazing person.

You are super duper amazing Amanda! Keep up the good work! Lovin' the glasses by the way ;)

You make me feel happy with your amazing videos

I'm glad I ain't the only one. I mean, I know I obviously ain't, but it can feel like that sometimes. So, thank you, Amanda.!! I appreciate this!:)

Oh yeah Amanda I love love love those glasses they are so cute! ❤️❤️❤️

I love escaping through a good book. I always put myself actually into the book by pretending that I'm the main character haha. Which then kind of makes me upset when the book ends... I also love taking baths, it's so relaxing... sadly my place is too small and we don't have one. But Im trying to convince my partner to go away for his birthday in March and book a hotel with a spa. So cross fingers haha. I also find having a pet helps make me happy. It gives me someone to talk to that wont judge me or say stuff I don't want to hear. And patting an animal is also be proving to keep you happy as well. :D

You should do another favs video!! I enjoyed the last one you made!

Very helpful! I been in the slumps lately! I will try some of your tips and crying always help! & I been feeling like a baby lately, how much I been crying! LOL thanks!

Outfit ideas would be a great idea for your next video! :)

Thank you SO very much Amanda! You really help a lot of people out there and I see you as a role model!.

Thank you so much Amanda! I needed that :)

I LOVED this video, lots of great tips! Thank you! :)

Ah you look super cute! :D I feel down sometimes. What I do to live more concious is that I promised myself not to be on my phone so much. It takes up a lot more time than i want because to be honest... it is addicting! So I told myself no more phone before I go to bed and when I wake up. It sounds weird but it has actually helped me feel so much better. Instead of being on my phone I now read a book, for example :). I feel a lot better. Ohhhhh and I would love to see cooking videos, I love them SOOOOO much! Food = life, haha. I also like beauty videos.

I agree with the book part that gives me a big distraction and satisfaction

Thanks Amanda! I've been really depressed lately because my ex broke up with me and this really helped me feel like having a positive mindset and being happy again Is possible :)

Loved this video! :D Cannot wait to have my HP book collection back so I can do the same

OMG I do all the same things you do to get happy! 😂 but my first thing to is always talk to someone (usually my mom) and my mom always understands it and sometimes I'll cry with her but after that I'll be my normal weird self again lol

Thanks Amanda this helped me a lot it showed me not to compare myself and try to be more happy Thanks Amanda your the best :D

Could you possibly make a video like this one except how to stay happy at school? Because I'm there, like, five days a week.

I still want to see your tea collection! And I may very well just do a video like this. I fight depression and so I've had to get creative with being happy :D

Whenever I am sad or depressed I think of my God and how much he loves me or my crush, but thx for making this video. These tips I will definitely use when I'm stressed or depressed or just feeling sad. I think you should do a room diy project that will help you with sadness like if you were depressed sad or stressed this diy project would help that .

Hi Amanda! I came from Mathias channel and I wanted to come and see how your channel was, and I'm impressed! Keep being you! Also lease tell Mathias I said hi. :D

Aw, this was great and really helpful c: Thanks Amanda!

thank you ! for just being so helpful :)

Baths are nice for me, but sometimes I don't have the time. Also, good video.

You are so beautiful inside and out! Love it!

You made me feel better :) 💜 Tysm

Maybe doing a video where you give us a tour of your apartment cause that would be soooo cool.

THANK YOU SOOOOOOOO MUCH! MY SCHOOL IS LIKE HELL AND NOW I AM NOT BULLIED NOW!

I was sick for my mid terms. Ahh. It was terrible horrible, words can not describe but now I'm better! Yay!

This could really help me on the weekends since I'm always stressed out during the week and staying up late doing homework. Also, do you think you might do a video on maintaining a relationship since you're in such an amazing one right now? I'm in a long distance relationship with someone in the Philippines and I just need advice on how to stay in the relationship. Thanks!

I have been worrying so much about school recently and I have been I'll also to for a whole week that felt like a year or 10 ! The homework I got was so back. Also missed 3 one hour tests and 1 two hour test and one five hour test ! I have started to do them all but feeling so work up and worrying about it ! But I mean yea the bath won't do much for me but a walk around me local park I think will do the trick and talking to my best buddies. Thanks A.F Love Charlie W

thank you so much for this video! i really needed this at the moment :)

That parks and recreation reference though. ;D

You look so cute and Harry Pottery :D lol and I love these happy vids! :D also the healthy snacks video was one of my faves :) perfect for college! :D

You're really pretty!
