Therapist here, totally normal (and common) to get anxious when recalling/reliving anxious event. Doesn't make it easy though! Lots of love to you! Iceland looks absolutely amazing and it's definitely on my bucket list now!
I always get so excited for you to be traveling and living your dreams! I love the vlogs and would love to hear about things you learn from your trips. reminds me of a start inspired episode. 💜
Gosh, I forgot how much I love purple eyeshadow on you 💜💜💜 such a gorgeous look!!! I suffer from severe anxiety, anxiety attacks and depression. I will cry at the drop of a hat! You’re definitely not alone my friend! How are you doing with all the Jet Lag you’ve been experiencing with all your travels? Do you feel run down or really exhausted? I don’t know how you feel but I know for me personally traveling can make my anxiety worse and panic attacks worse! You know all the things that come with traveling. It’s being at airport and dealing with large crowds, lots of loud noises from everyone talking, getting off the plane, getting luggage, finding your rental car, getting to the Air B&B or Hotel it’s a lot! I always cry and feel so embarrassed! I used to work in Tennessee and I would split my time between California and Tennessee. So I would be home in California for one to two weeks and then spend two weeks in Tennessee. I did that for 7 years out of the 12 years I worked for this company. It was exhausting! Your pictures that you’ve been posting on IG while you’re in Iceland are absolutely breathtaking! The picture of you with the royal blue swim suit and the most beautiful lagoon right next to you!!! So BEAUTIFUL!!! I also love the one with you wearing that super cute 🥰 beanie with ears and your sitting down! Oh so stunning! Iceland is definitely on my bucket list now! I was born and raised in California and where I lived it was all about the Botox, fillers, lash extensions etc…. I still do my Botox twice a year. In my opinion and knowing that you have sensitive eyes I would skip the lash extensions! As someone who had them for years in my early 20’s and early 30’s off and on. They really look unnatural close and sometimes far away they have an almost plastic feeling and the upkeep isn’t worth it in my opinion! If you have one or two that fall out and you like to pick oh you will pick them all out because as they grow out it’s the most annoying feeling! I’ve been sticking to getting my brows threaded, I will also get my brows laminated (makes brows so much easier) I do a lash tint and lash perm and it’s perfect for what I want and I love how it looks! Great video Sam xoxo ❤
I have severe anxiety too. I have not been able to travel for years now and do want to. I was starting to get better with my anxiety and being able to go further from my house but then Covid happened and I felt like it sent me back to square one.
I am still struggling with not being embarrassed by my anxiety too. A previous therapist told me I need to accept it is part of who I am and not keep fighting it but it is so hard to do that!
You’re looking good, Sam 😍😍. I can’t believe all of the traveling you’ve done/are doing….how lovely. I see Bali is in store for 2025-I’ve been there & think you will LOVE it!! I always appreciate you being vulnerable & discussing your anxiety as I deal with the same kinda stuff. I get so shaky when anxious which embarrasses me too. Sending you all the love. 😊💜 PS: I want that YSL bronzer. Packaging is so cool!
I love the CT foundation stick. I'm combo to oily and I set it with the Givenchy Prism Libre powder. It looks great on my skin. I like it because I swipe it on and it gets in my pores and kind of fills them in. I'm really enjoying it. It is super lightweight, and that's what I enjoy.
Hi Samantha. I always enjoy your GRWM videos and hearing about your life. I hope you post an Iceland vlog! I'm envious and impressed with your travel and career. I would say the most difficult part is keeping organized. You seem like such a kind person and your friends are lucky to have you as a friend. Can't wait to hear about Iceland. :)
i have the mini rose and it's not bad. i don't have any of natasha's larger pallets so i can't say whether or not the formula is her standard formula but im really enjoying it so far! i do think it could probably be duped with color pop shades though. the specialty shade Psychodelic can be pretty much exactly duped with the super shock shadow in Frog
Traveling can be stressful so I can see how you can have anxiety. I travel for work all the time and I try and go where there are fewer people. Crowds stress me out.
We are twinning this morning with our hair. Mine is up in my same gray overnight scrunchie bun! Wish I could send you a picture! ❤❤❤ Hope Iceland is treating you well! xoxo
P.S. I hear ND will be releasing a midi Rose palette soon...at least the copyright and such has been confirmed, so you may just want to hold off for now. Plus 3 of the 5 shades are also in the midi Retro palette (same colors, but the mini Rose has a regular matte formula for two of the shades, whereas the same colors from the midi Retro are in the cream-to-powder formula). I don't know how successful I'll be, but I'm trying to talk myself out of buying it right now. The palette will still be there whenever I'm ready since it isn't limited edition, right?💸💸 (Um...Asking for a friend. 😏😘 She needs assurance!) ❤
I have anxiety and yes before I have been teared up when thinking about specific times. You are inspirational to see you are able to still travel and have anxiety, I hope to get there someday soon but haven't been on a plane since I had a very bag panic attack years ago while the plane was taking off! It wasn't because I am afraid to fly, I was with my mom and I don't know why I picked that exact moment to tell her I thought my marriage was over. I guess saying it outloud just made in real and I freaked out.
The book, First We Make the Beast Beautiful, helped me enormously with my anxiety. It’s a comprehensive look at anxiety and I really could not say enough good things. Anyone that’s struggling I strongly recommend checking it out
I have oily/acne prone skin and I got say I'm not trying Charlotte Tilbury Unreal Skin Sheer Glow Tint Hydrating Foundation Stick since none of her complexion products have light. If I did purchase this, it would cause me to breakout. If I was to use one foundation stick, it would have to be the Wet N Wild Photo Focus Foundation Stick which has been my favorite since it doesn't break me out. I do suffer from anxiety a lot. When I went to Punta Cana back in May for my friend's wedding, I was having anxiety attack. I was afraid that none of my friends k-12 wasn't going. I felt better once of my good friends since elementary school showed up. I'm glad that my anxiety stopped but for 16 and 15 years I've been struggling with it. My anxiety I normally get when I'm in a large group
I would love to see travel content from you at some point, those what to do type of thing. I’m moving to Germany tomorrow and I’m gathering enough courage to start posting on my travel Instagram and actually show my face on it. Watching your videos give loads of courage to do so 😊
I have anxiety and night terrors. And it happens to me too, if something causes me anxiety and I think about it after it's done, I start getting an anxiety attack again. You're not alone ❤ and the eyeshadow palette looks beautiful!!
Hope this is helpful feedback but the lighting in this video is a little challenging for me to see what you are doing as there is limited lighting and you are a little zoomed out. There appears to be only ambient dim lighting in the background from the lamp and no natural or more direct artificial light so we can see your application and finish on the skin.
I have migraines with auras, and like an hour to 30 minutes before I get a migraine, I get a blind spot in the lower left side of my right eye and for about a year I have an anxiety attack when my blind spot would appear. I realized I was having an anxiety attack thinking about having an anxiety attack. I really had to rethink my reaction, um, and just be like: alright cool I've got t-minus 30 minutes to complete whatever I'm doing, get home, get comfy, take meds, drink water, tell someone. But even now typing all of think I'm feeling the anxiety creep up... whew. We are all going to be okay.
You have a good plan in place! By talking yourself through the steps you can just keep breathing and Do It. Everything IS going to be ok. Breathe and be gentle with thyself fellow migraine sufferer.
I just started having the migraines with auras and it freaked me out the first time! I still am trying to not freak out when I feel an panic attack coming on. I need to have a plan in place like you have.
maybe this isn’t you but… I find that sometimes when discussing an anxiety event, I’m not so much reliving that anxiety as I am experiencing a kind of grief about having felt it then.
Grief is a good way to put it. I sometimes feel grief about how I was in my 20s (I am 47 now) because that was before I had my first attack and had my OCD habits but was able to go more places withouth worry of having a panic attack.
Anciety is real -triggers?? For me, if I overthink and start obsessing about things which need to get done, timing may bring on an episode. Other emptional triggers pop up intermittently! Breathing, Yoga, Walking, Working and cryin help me put!😂😢
Yes I definitely can cry at the drop of a hat it's extremely embarrassing when you have an anxiety attack and you're alone I remember being in the social security office for my daughter who has developmental delay and I had an anxiety attack and the guy is telling me to calm down and I'm telling him please don't tell me to calm down that's the worst thing you can do I just need a minute to breathe and everyone's just looking at you like what's wrong with her
I have anxiety too, it can be stressful to be anxious for me to be around other people when I'm feeling an anxiety attack coming on. Sounds weird, I hope you know what I'm saying. You're not alone, basically ❤
Yes I get stressed the other day I was out to eat with a friend and just could not get my heart rate down and so we got our food to go and went to her house and I finally calmed down. But for hours I felt so bad even though she didn't mind at all.
Just my opinion but the fake lashes and eyelash extensions look so unnatural, even if they are supposed to look ‘natural.’ I think the norm is highly distorted these days (with social media exacerbating the problem) and it’s ok to feel weird because you don’t ’do what everyone else is doing.’ Just remember that just because everyone else is doing something doesn’t make it right or beautiful! (: you are just fine the way you are!!!!
