Even if Kristi never did another makeup video, the name "RawBeautyKristi" would still be fitting. Raw beauty of nature, raw beauty of unapologetic funny personality, raw beauty of humans with no makeup on...
Kristi, as a therapist, your clinical language is perfection. You’re doing such an amazing job educating not only yourself, but those who watch you. You don’t need to be an expert to feel passionate about something and share your passion. So much love to you !!!
@@hannahkayee831 def not what she meant…and technically she is a working mom, she just happens to do RU-vid and work from home and also struggles with mental health issues…🤷🏻♀️
Even before the Internet people struggled with identity. In 1958 E. E. Cummins wrote “To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting.” You are awesome just as you are. Thank you for sharing yourself on the internet. I enjoy watching your content!
I am someone who is almost completely opposite from you. I’m single, no kids, no mental health issues, and potentially don’t really understand what you’re going through or agree with all of your opinions, but I absolutely love you! I am so proud of you doing YOU. I have been a long time supporter of you and your channel and I always look forward to hearing your opinions on things. Sending love and positivity 💜
My husband and I were talking the other day about whether people who don't suffer with mental health issues actually exist. I guess they do! You are blessed!
Shady actions by Morphe . . . Shocking 😳 That brand is something else, doing that to their employees. I joke about it, but I was admittedly surprised at how quickly it happened too. You're right, people online can be just hideous. I have no idea what they expect to happen, it would be lovely to see karma more directly hit them. It is so unnecessary to be awful, like why? Just be kind or be quiet.
For years I thought I was bipolar, it was actually pmdd. I was told a lot of women actually think they’re bipolar when actually they have pmdd. Thank you for being such a real person! I don’t care what you post, you help me so much !
my theory is- at first, followers were eating up the content and product recommendations of influencers, spending all kinds of money, thinking their endorsements were genuine, and then eventually realized they’re only talking highly of these products to make money off of us. now people are much more aware and selective of the content they follow. that’s just what I think. and that’s personally why I adore you- your HONESTY and authenticity.
So glad I found you! Love watching! My doctor put me on a lethal dose of Fentanyl 20 years ago for my Fibromyalgia. I didn't understand what i was taking. I trusted this doctor when i should not have. I've been off that for 4 years now and I feel great. So nice to be back. Glad to still be here❤️
Hey Kristi! X-morphe babe beauty artist here. I was hired as a part time employee, so excited for my makeup artistry career to take off! Things were good, and business wasn’t bad! Everyone I worked with was so amazing, passionate about makeup, and loved their job. But there were signs things were hidden from us, just about everything on 60% off, and as the weeks went on up to 80% of everything! Customers began asking us if we were closing, and we literally had no reason to think we were at the time, we laughed about it! Come to find out, in our last days open, the brand left us with no communication over the holiday weekend as we heard other stores had closed. They knew far before they gave us our 1 day notice. I cant support this brand anymore, no matter how much I loved it and the artistry that came with the products and working for them as a beauty artist. So disappointing for all the morphe management and full time employees. 💔 Thank you for the video today, love to listen while I get ready 💗
As someone who is diagnosed with PMDD, I greatly appreciate you spreading awareness on this chronic condition. If it wasn’t for getting the right treatment to manage this disorder, I wouldn’t be here. We love you Kristi!🖤
It’s the weirdest thing, and I cannot for the life of me figure out why, but you are quite literally the only channel where I don’t fast forward through the hello fresh sponsorship spotlight. Something about seeing you guys make and enjoy your dinner just makes me happy. It’s odd I know, but the truth.
@@ismanovska i know u didn't ask me, but I have a 1 yr old daughter and she is rough. She likes to point out my eyes, nose, mouth, etc. I wear false lashes a lot and she has tugged at them and they stay still. I use Kiss brand lash adhesive, it's a brush on. The clear one. It is some good stuff. Hope that helps.
Super Early! I was just going back &. watched all the vids of you first telling your friends & fam that you were pregnant. This immediately lifts my soul. When I feel bad or scared I go back to those vids & it gives me hope. You are fantastic!! Thank you for sharing as much as you have. You are a great Mommy.
thank you for talking about pmdd it's truly brutal and doctors still can't tell us what exactly causes it or how to treat it. Please share updates if you have them in the future I'd be really interested to hear ❤
Girl I went through the same shift when I became a mom… I wanted, hell NEEDED reassurance that I was doing a good job, that I was ok. When I couldn’t get that, I isolated HARD. The past couple years, Ive learned to be present, be out there, and be ok with me. It’s been a process but it’s totally worth it. Good for you for starting this journey to yourself!
I love watching your Hello Fresh clips, we can see how much you guys actually enjoy it and it’s not just some sponsor. If you’re ever looking for more video ideas I’d be down to watch you cook 😊
Hi Kristi, first, we missed you!! Second, you look GORGEOUS and third, I love your other channel. Thank you for being so open and honest about your mental health issues. I struggle with MULTIPLE mental illnesses and its so nice to hear someone with your platform with MILLIONS of followers talk about it, so again, thank you from the bottom of my heart 💜. I wish you well with your health and I pray that you don't need to be on any meds anymore 🙏💜. I can't wait for your upcoming topics
Those freckles are SO CUTE on you omg. Also when you said what you did about things not serving you I cried cuz I just barely came to that realization myself and it's been a difficult transition.
This is exactly why so many people follow you (and have for years) - your transparency and honesty with life in general Also, can we agree that your brows look SO fucking good like this? Obsessed
I have MDD, PMDD, and GAD and Ill be on meds til Im likely menopausal. The biggest help was adding a booster dose of one of my meds during luteal period for PMDD. Im glad you are trying to taper since you arent satisfied with how meds make you feel, but also that you are open to options in the future.
I have PLMD which is part of the myoclonic jerks situation. There have been times I have woken up and my entire body is going. I take a med for that and a med for the GAD. I still can have breakthrough jerks, but since I am on the lowest dose of that med (on purpose. Want to take this slowly.) I can always take another if I need to.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Let me know what paint u used? Color/Brand? I love 💕 that shade of green and I've been struggling to find perfect color for my house living room..
@@jamezemeraldautumn3830 Hi saw your comment and I can tell you so here I am. Glidden paint - Castle stone Although Kristi colour matched and used BEHR Dynasty from Home Depot This information was taken from the description of a video Kristi did about a year ago titled 'Time for a change, creating a new lifestyle backdrop.......... Hope this helps. 💜
Your sweet life of Zack and Kristi channel is on fire! I love watching y’all’s projects and planting videos and just everything about it is amazing to me!! Please don’t stop posting that content ❤
I have been going through more in my personal life than I can outline here, but I want you to know that your sharing your growth and evolution is more inspiring, encouraging, identifiable, and therapeutic to me, than I can possibly say. Thank you. ❤️🩹💕
I love watching you find your spark again. You really do inspire me and plenty others just by you letting your authenticity shine through. Thank you for being you.
I SO get when you said you’re feeling emotionally blunted. I was on anti-depressants (Celexa) for 25yrs, yep 25! In 2021-2022 it took me nine months to come off of it under Dr supervision. But trust me, if I EVER thought I needed to be back on meds, I would have no hesitation about it. Mental health care is crucial, it’s the foundation to every other aspect of your life.
I am also looking into ketamine therapy for bipolar, anxiety, ptsd and dissociative pain. I hope your journey goes well and Imd love to see what your experiences are. Thanks again for sharing mental wellness conversations!
I just got diagnosed with PMDD probably over a year and a half ago now and I’ve been diagnosed with anxiety since I don’t even know when. I’ve been on multiple anxiety meds since the end of middle school/ start of high school. It was honestly unbearable. Being diagnosed for PMDD and being treated for it seriously CHANGED MY LIIIIFE!!!! I really have never felt more stable 🙏🏼 I’m incredibly grateful an influencer knows how it feels and is willing to bring awareness and talk about it 🫶🏼
I was one of the 20% that did not improve on ketamine. At ketamine clinics, you may or may not dissociate. I didn't. After that, I tried transmagnetic stimulation (TMS) and that was miraculous. It usually takes ~3 weeks to notice effects, but I felt it on day 1. Everyone's brain is so different. So, don't be discouraged when something does not work. But, I say that with the privilege of decent healthcare. I am so glad you keep talking about this Kristi.
So proud of you for listening to your true self and respecting what you want! Ive seen how much you’ve developed and can honestly say I’m so happy for you! I’ve always followed the rule that if someone doesn’t like what you have to put out into the world, then they aren’t your people! At the end of the day your happiness is the main goal. Again, BEYOND proud of you, I know how hard it can be. Sending love and positive vibes ❤️
I understand exactly what your going through with your medication. I was misdiagnosed with postpartum and was put on medication and I noticed the same symptoms as you but within the first few months. Tapered off in 4 weeks. Best thing I ever did.
Kristi, you are Amazing! It's great to see you on your channel, no matter what! I like watching you, BECAUSE you are so authentic and real! You ROCK!!! 🤗🤗🤗
I just watched Zack Video on the Sweet Life channel yesterday, i feel so smily and happy bc ANOTHER video on this channel?!! YAY! Today is going to be a good day, i can just FEEL it now. Thanks Kristi! :D
This video made me look up PMDD (because I genuinely get out of control around my period time and didn’t know PMDD was a thing) and I’m going to make a Dr appointment. This is why I love your content!!
Same here! When I saw PMDD on the thumbnail, I went straight to Google, and it was like a light at the end of the tunnel. Def need to make an appointment asap because I thought I was going crazy
Me too!! I have been weirdly *extra* terrible and sad this week and I just read that it mostly starts to occur at 26.. guess how old I'll be in 8 days!
Kristi, as someone who has dealt with reoccurring depression and anxiety episodes, and have tried many ssri’s and medications, I really appreciate you talking about this. Sending love to you and please keep us updated on your taper and switch to ketamine! Really interested to hear your experience with that.
Beautiful xxx I’ve been on ssri’s for 30 years. I’ve tried coming off them but, unfortunately, it has never worked for me. I love hear you talking about it. When people find out I’m on them, they say “you don’t seem like you need them, you’re totally normal “, that’s because the tablets help me be me. You are fab and I’m Sp pleased you’re in a good place at the moment xxx ❤🤗
The real ones want unfiltered Kristi back! I’ve always loved you, your energy and your content. In ways, I feel like I’ve been growing up with you, even without knowing you personally and I’m sure a lot of your subscribers would say the same. ❤️ you and your lil family are such a joy to watch.
Yes BE UNAPOLOGETIC!!!!!! please! I'm so tired of people shitting on one another just because they disagree. This is how we learn from each other! It's OK to disagree. It's OK to have different opinions. It's OK to speak about what you're passionate about!!! I fucking love you and your channel. You're doing the right thing! I respect you so much for this! So excited for what's to come!!!!
Gosh I love you so much! You helped me in my post partum nightmare! Everything you say is exactly what I think! It's comforting and soothing to the soul! Never stop being you and making these videos! They help so much Kristi! Much love from Ohio 😘 ❤️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I have had myoclonic jerks for 16 years and they are so annoying. I notice they seem to get worse and more pronounced when I’m overly tired or stressed. And they always seem to happen when I’m relaxing, either sitting or laying down, never when I’m actively moving. I’m glad you are giving no effs and being your true self. ✌️💗
I want to preface this with the most love and care and that I mean no ill intentions towards you: just sharing part of my journey with mental health as you said something in this video about tapering off that sounded like myself 10 years ago. I have been on anti-anxiety and anti-depressants since I was 16. I spent a good chunk of my early 20s trying to taper and stopping them and not understanding why I would feel good and then feel off, when a therapist helped me have a huge breakthrough: I felt good and felt like I didn’t need them anymore because they were working! Suddenly, I started looking at my medication not as this monster I was trying to fight and contain, but as a part of me. I wear contacts and glasses and I don’t feel the shame of having not perfect eyesight, so why is needing assistance for my mental health different than needing assistance for my eyes? If it works and makes you feel better, that’s truly all that matters. Just want to share, and welcome back! Missed this rawness and real truth coming from you ❤️
Thank you so much for talking about PMDD. I have dealt with it for YEARS, and I knew there was a word for it, or several haha, but I didn't know what it was. Thank you for being YOU! YOU are all we're here for!
I LOVE when we get to see the 'Raw' side of you! Where you say what you actually feel. It's refreshing. And I'm happy that you're trying different things, that can help your mental health, and not just taking shiit, for the hell of it. I've been on meds for quite a few years, and I've tried weening myself off them, but unfortunately I can't go without them. But so glad it's working for you! Beautifaul as ever, love this look! Love from Australia 💙💚❤💜
Something I like to remind myself is “it’s none of my business what other people think of me. And it’s their problem to deal with not me”. And as you said there are just going to be people who misinterpret what you say, either purposely or accidentally, folks that will just decide they don’t like you regardless of if you have done anything to warrant it. And the more you try to prove you aren’t like that i.e. rude, uncaring etc; it just works against you and cements their opinion of you. So in the end be the kindest, happiest, most compassionate version of yourself that you can be moving through the world and anyone who doesn’t like it, well as you said F you.
Your videos have been so helpful to me. It’s made me realize I am not the only one going through stuff like this as a mom. And boy oh boy I cannot wait for your thoughts on the treatment of children because same
Hi! Thank you so much for this video. My husband started an SSRi a couple of months ago. A couple of weeks ago he noticed that he was feeling "blah". He didn't know how to describe what he was feeling any better besides saying "Blah". His doctor asked him a bunch of questions to try and help him describe it better with no luck. I've been watching this video today and my husband has been listening. He's found it very helpful to hear what you've had to say and what you've learned about your mental health and the SSRI. In today's video, you said exactly what he's described as "Blah" perfectly! You said that recently you've felt emotionally blunted. As soon as my husband heard that he immediately said THAT'S IT!!! He said that was the perfect way to describe what "Blah" means to him. The next time he sees his doctor he is going to discuss this with him and see if that helps his doctor figure out how to help him more. So THANK YOU Kristi for creating and posting videos like this. My husband is going to watch some more videos. He said that what he has watched already has helped him understand that he is not alone and that there are others out there just like him who are struggling with depression. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!! 💜💜💜 Stacy
I am in love with this.. depression & Anxiety that has made me fear everything after have a miscarriage & then have a amazing lil girl. This video give me hope and not feel alone in this fight. Thank you
Thank you so so much for talking about tapering off her medication.. I myself just came off of my depression medication and I'm coming off of a separate medication that is known to have extremely difficult withdrawal I've been feeling a little down on myself for taking so long.. but hearing you talk about it makes me feel a whole lot better! Thank you for just being open and being you! We stan in you raw beauty queen 👑👑👑
Yes, I love that feeling when you see yourself in the mirror out somewhere and think, damn, I look great today! Probably always looked nice but now in a place to really “see” it. I feel like I got to that place of growth after kids and life and certain successes in life (and age).❤
I recently got off of my SSRI's for the same reasons; I really just felt numb! I have been so much better but it's definitely a journey. Love hearing that I'm not alone
This is exactly what I need in my life because I’m constantly apologizing for being myself. I need to love myself enough to be myself and hearing someone else saying this feels very supportive. ❤
I love you and your videos! Someone in another comment said it perfectly... its like hanging out with a friend when your videos are on. I'm glad you've reminded yourself that you dgaf!!! Because none of us should as far as the internet is concerned. Your core audience, we are here for you....the unfiltered, unbothered, hilarious, honest, wonderful, open, raw Kristy, and sometimes Krusty, that you are!!! We love you!!
You can literally tell by your eyes & the light in them, facial expressions, body language- that you FEEL so much HAPPIER and BETTER!!! I'm so happy for you, Kristi! 💟💖💟
Yes Kristi! I must say that I am child free but I also have noticed how treating children poorly has become acceptable. We expect kids to have self control of their actions, emotions etc but we adults can’t even do that! I also really hate when parents yell at children constantly. Their tiny humans and they’re curious about the world. We need to have patience with them and encourage them to explore. It’s also sad that gentle parenting is called gentle parenting. I have heard that it’s only called that because of how shitty some people treat their children when gentle parenting isn’t anything special, it’s actually just how parenting should be.
Ahhh it’s FINALLY time for your renovation videos! I have waited what feels like forever. Love you both! I have been in a homesteading transition this past year: mushrooms, huge garden, chickens, and baking. So I’m loving for your content! Love you both!
Life long PMDDer here, thank you for speaking on the condition and what you're doing to support your health. Hell week is no joke, and actually lasts more like 2 weeks let's be honest.
You are beautiful inside and out girly! I don't have kids and am not sure if I will have any. I still watch any video you put out because you are relatable and real. Like so many have said, its like hanging out with a friend. Please keep being you because you are beautiful and amazing!
Ketamine has changed my life! I’ve been doing infusions off and on since January 2021. I could barely get out of bed most days (and I’ve got two kids, so that’s not great) but now not only can I function, but I’m thriving. Definitely try that if you need the help. It also helps lessen the amount of migraines I get.
