I'm usually just a silent watcher here, but I wanted to say that I thought you were spot on to not follow-up like you did after the other person had not been able to communicate properly. It was such a gracious way to tell a person that you guys have different communication styles, and value your time in different ways. Hope to see more vlogs, if you're comfortable sharing more of your life like this! :D
Good for you, girl! That’s exactly what you should do if someone isn’t compatible with you. I’m practicing the same thing of giving people grace, but also knowing what I need in a relationship and not ignoring red flags.
I had a situationship fresh out of college where I dealt with the same thing - not great at communicating consistently (he did work nights, but it was more than that), lack of follow-through, refusal to commit to anything when it came to seeing each other...it sucked, and I put up with it for way too long. Anyways, point being good for you for knowing that it wasn't your vibe! As a fellow planner, trying to have a relationship with someone like that was honestly impossible. The guy I'm now marrying was super communicative right off the bat, planned things with me, and follow through with those plans.
I really like your vlogs and how we just get snippets. It is more authentic in that you capture somethings here and there, but otherwise are present in your day as you said. It is the perfect amount of sharing. I am not a vlog person in general, but your style is one I enjoy watching. I love the music too. 🙂
I love your vlogs, especially how it ends up being snippets through like a week or so. It's the perfect balance of sharing a slice of life and letting you enjoy living your best life! Only con though is not enough Tilly 😢 thank you for including the nails segment, I've been looking forward to it since you mentioned you might do it. I've loved the idea of press ons but been worried they'd be harder than they look, so thank you for the tips!
I’m older(old enough to be your mom, 52 in May)- if you have to always “be the one” ie; reaching out, coordinating plans, texts/phone calls, etc. if it’s that vague w/the efforts(or lack there of), but yet taking up too much of your precious time and you haven’t even had the first date-NOPE! I’m out, gone, ciao, sayonara, goodbye and good luck! But I think b/c I’ve already been married, and subsequently divorced, raised kiddos, and looking to retirement within the next 10-12 years, I have no patience for BS. If he’s not pursuing me, it’s not happening. I will never and have never chased a man, and you don’t need to either Kelly. When the time is right & it’s the right person, it should flow naturally and without giving you pause as to whether or not to invest your valuable energy into it. Now, that’s not to be confused with the woman doing the pursuing-if that’s what floats her boat more power to her. I’m not of the antiquated idea that the man has to be the one to ask for a date first, that’s fine too. It’s just not what I’m willing to do. But hey, different strokes for different folks lol!! I absolutely loved 🥰 this kind of “Day in the life of.....” kind of video, more plz 💄💋👏🏻❤️💄💋👏🏻❤️
Good job assessing the potential date. Best to cut your losses early and avoid future heartache. Very smart move. I could have saved myself time in the past by reacting similarly. He simply wasn't sufficiently interested. We go after what we want. I can learn from your lesson. Thanks for sharing. Looks like you dodged a bullet.
So relatable: AM: so I may have a date tonight! PM: yeah they didn’t happen. As someone who was also in a long relationship since their early 20s and then became single a couple years ago, adapting back into dating has been a continued struggle for me. Seeing the way you’ve talked about dating, enjoying being single, and communicating with potential dates has been really encouraging for me! I appreciate you sharing! 💜💜
That lip combo Kelly, Milani does it right for you ❤. If a guy doesn't vibe with you than this is first sign that you will not make it work, because the most important thing in a relationship is that are 2 people involved and from there everything starts to balance! You are a gorgeous lady with beautiful manners and you definitely deserve a lot more ❤
If you ever go to the new Jones Road store in Greenwich Village, would you consider filming it and then sharing your impressions in a vlog? This was really fun, by the way....do more!
I love your blogs, they're chill and relatable. I'm sorry that your date didn't go about as planned, but trust me you're on the right track and you'll find someone wonderful. I agree on the part where you stated that you don't have to be reminding someone when they're the ones doing the planning cause it's a waste of time.
I had a similar situation with a guy from back home. I moved slightly over an hour from home for school. I get DMd from a guy I went to HS with that he wanted to go on a date I agreed but told him to wait for my spring break. Got back home tell him I’m in town tells me he’s sick yet he’s posting he’s out with friends 🙄 I leave town and he sends me a message at 2 am on the weekend if I wanted to meet up at 1 pm that day I told him too late and honestly I wasn’t interested at first but was willing to give a chance, but with him possibly lying and deciding last minute I was like yeah no thanks
Good for you for not settling with someone who isn’t what you are looking for! You made the right call. To take my nails off, I slide my nail under the side of it and kind of pop it off. After a week or so, they pop off easily this way with little to no damage on my real nail. Maybe not the best way but it works for me because it’s quick and minimal effort.
Yay Boba! I’m so glad you mentioned about You! I haven’t seen the new season yet but I’m about to! And I loved that you gave a press on nail tutorial! Thank you! I’m a chronic nail biter and want to make press on nails work so bad!
Keep us updated on how the static nails work out for u please!! I tried one of their valentines sets and absolutely hated it, but I’m wondering if i should give them another chance just bc they’re so beautiful 😭
I'm SO envious of your beautiful bouncy curly hair! This was so nice to see bits of NYC! I'm from Jersey, and have been there, but not enough to know my way around. So many quaint places to meet for drinks, coffee, pastries, etc!
I feel you on that iffy first impression with that guy. I've been with my partner 4 years and it's actually a small miracle that we got together. His response times were so tragic it took us a YEAR to actually go out, and we didn't see each other for another 3 months after that. He's still really bad at responding, but now I know it's just a part of his character flaws that he's working on and in our early days I really understand now why he was so slow to respond
I love Static Nails! Their nail polish is the best! I would recommend their brush on nail glue too, it is the best I’ve tried. Sounds similar to Glamnetic’s 😊 they also have their own nail remover oil that works amazing.
This happened to me! I was supposed to be reuniting with my first love! I was SO excited, got all dolled up, didn't hear from him, called him later that night, and he said he forgot and that I should have called him. Um No! You're a big boy, and If I'm not that important that you forgot we made plans, then I'm not going to remind you!
Static Nails makes my fave designs but I cannot get them to stay on a full day😅 Also, love your content and you genuinely inspire me to try making content again
That date fail reminds me of my ex... I ended our relationship (of two years) because, on top of of generally feeling like he'd lost all care for me as a human, he booked a flight to the other side of the country the morning of my final vocal recital (for my degree). He never checked the date. And he expected me to forgive him. Listen... I give a lot of grace, but not that much. We're worth more than that! Good on you for standing up for yourself.
Always looking forward to your Vlogs! Maaan I miss living in NYC. If you wanna go try real amazing gelato, I would highly recommend Avrilililly’s in Hamilton Heights. It’s right next door to City College which is amazing to hang out on on campus/park.
Do you have issues taking off your makeup when you're wearing press-on nails? I just tried my first set and I felt like my eye makeup remover was weakening the glue? I had a couple of nails fall off early.
I just bought the glamnetic wild nails at Ulta bc I had 5x points and I'm so excited to try them! I have really wide nail beds, though, so I'm hoping every nail will find a fit 😅
If u haven't already, u may wanna read the package closely because I've noticed that alot of the nails I've tried have recommended that u don't wear the nails longer than 7 days. I usually can't get them to stay on longer than that but I just wanted to tell u that in case it could cause an issue.
I looooooove the Cali ray… not false looking … thx❤❤btw, nice non follow up with Sunday dude, sounds like a lot of guys I know… too spacey and zero organizational skills. You rock ❤
Hey Kelly! You inspired me to get into press ons! I bought the glamnetic angel style, i dont know if you or anyone else can answer, but im wondering if they were too long or i didnt have enough glue but after 24 hours they all essentially had either popped off and a part tore/ripped off. Do you find that happens with longer press on? I did not file them down really, just shaped them a bit for my nails! Thanks for the tutorial, would love to see more vlogs :)
Totally understand and respect the date thing! When I was dating I would give people way too many chances and I look back at it now like what was I doing?!
Any tips on how to remove the leftover nail glue after you remove a set? I used a little buffer block but result wasn’t awesome. Do you use that little tool for that on your real nails or just to remove the glue from the press ons?
I think I've asked before but may not have been the proper video. Would you ever consider doing a meet up? I'd be interested. I'm in NJ but love going into the city. Just a thought. Figured I'd ask.
Your "date" sounds like a guy I briefly dated a couple years ago. He was always canceling and rescheduling dates. We ended up going on two. The last straw was him canceling while I was in the middle of getting ready to go on another date. I was already dressed and had half my makeup on. Since i don't like to waste a good outfit and makeup look, I took a friend's suggestion of going to a Mexican restaurant I'd heard about. Went there and did a little retail therapy after.
I'm so interested in doing press-on nails but I heard that the glue is cancer-causing! I know you are vegan and cruelty free so I would love to know your thoughts on this.
