Honestly, I think social media needs this type of content, desperately. I am so tired of the highlights and the glamorous lifestyles and showing nothing but the “hustle and bustle”. It’s not realistic and over time when that’s all we see, it’s so damaging. I’m here for vlogs like this
I whole heartedly agree! People (me included) need to see real life challenges and obstacles.
I agree, too. I couldn't have said it better myself.
Couldn’t have said it better
I second that
Agreed !! Showing more people that ultimately, no matter our paths, we're more alike than we may think and we should learn to help each other navigate through life and our shortcomings. Really establish a community
Can I just say I love how this was filmed and edited almost like documentary. This was raw and beautiful.
I know you say this type of content is boring to you Raven buttt honestly I think this is just what we like lol. I love all your content but something about everyday life is just ✨ satisfying ✨
Right I feel like I vibing with someone who goes through the same thing we all do
i agree. i like the realistic content. i don’t wanna see stuff that’s obviously staged.
Indeed
Agreed…. I’m so sick of highlights and staged content. We watch vlogs to see regular stuff.
I never really comment … I’m pretty much a “silent supporter “ meaning I love your content, and what’s understood doesn’t need to be said, the ones who get me will know this is coming from a place of nothing but love.But… yeah, I loved this raw and real content Rae we definitely needed to see this, it’s beyond relatable 🤞🏾 thank you for sharing🙏🏾🩷
Same😘 mommy's. I need a new husband 😊
sameeeee
Vitamin D3 was a game changer for my seasonal depression. It’s an, especially, important vitamin for Black women. ✨
Any specific brands you recommend? Thank You 😊
@iamSylviaOlivia id like to know too..
I agree. Especially with K2 vitamin too. I prefer the liquid drops my functional medicine doc recommended. Ortho Molecular is the brand I take.
I second this ❤
Don’t forget Magnesium!
I appreciate you showing us real life stuff. I’m not a full time content creator, so I can’t imagine the pressures that are put on you, but I can’t even muster up the energy or strength to do the dishes on my bad days, so filming, editing, and uploading it for the world to see.. I can’t imagine. Thank you for doing this for us. I think all of us fall into mental spaces that aren’t ideal, sometimes for a long time, and we beat ourselves up for not being productive enough or grateful for the things we do have. I wish I could hug you through the screen. I’m not even half way through but I can empathize so much with how you’ve been feeling. You built this all on your own, I hope you know you’re allowed to do whatever you want with it. ♥️
Raven said yawl want real and raw, that's what yawl gonna get.. lol I don't know about anyone else, but I enjoyed today's vlog. Thank you Raven. I pray you get your spark back for your passion.. whatever that may be, we will support you.
I don’t really know how to explain it, but something about this vlog is so comforting 🙏🏾
Ziya is so me. 'Only child' kids know how to keep themselves occupied! I love that she is being creative in her space! 📝✂📊
I wouldn’t count Ziya’s accident as a total fail that’s still a core memory and above all else she will remember how you were there for her and cared for her in that moment. You’re still doing amazing and the effort was there ❤
Hey Raven, I’m about 15 minutes into the video and wanted to offer a word of encouragement for seasonal depression. I truly understand how this time of the year can be mentally taxing as I literally struggle and hate this time of the year bc of the lack of sun, being anemic and it reminds me of the loss of my brother who passed thanksgiving 2008. Offer yourself grace and rest…taking one day at a time. As a mom as well, it’s hard to get off the hamster wheel but remember to put yourself first and pour back into you. ❤️🩹
Beautiful 🥹❤️🙏🏼
you expressing your challenges with RUclips in the podcast and then exploring a solution in this vlog is so cool to watch. I think you found a groove with making the best content for each platform and giving each community what they want. going back to your weekly vlogs that ogs love for youtube, while being able to yap freely on podcast, then be a diy queen on tiktok ... this formula seems like a win win for each set of viewers and you the creator. I hope you keep these vlogs up its so cool to get to see different type of content per platform.
I love how this vlog just flows. Super relaxing to watch on a Sunday ❤.
Since party planning has become your niche, you should start a party decor line. You should offer plates serving dishes, linen, etc, like David teterra, the wedding planner. That way, you can promote your line when you are preparing for your parties.
Just wanted to say been watching you for YEARS GIRL AND YOU ARE WHO INITIALLY INSPIRED ME TO START A YT CHANNEL IN 2017❤❤❤ it’s so good to see how successful you are 🎉🎉🎉 you made a huge difference in my life I’m forever grateful
You shopping at Walmart for you and Ziya just makes you so relatable and humble ❤️
I’m normally not a vlog lover but man you may change my mind! I love this side of you and seeing it. A lot of creators make a “fake” looking vlog but this felt so relatable. Cried with you in the beginning, but I love this style of content from you!
This is the main reason why I will always support and watch your vlogs. I too suffer from depression ALL YEAR so seeing you being transparent and still trying to be productive is really encouraging to see. Thank you for always being so real and being YOU.
Seasonal depression is just terrible to go through, so I feel your pain a thousand. Also been enjoying the podcast being back again and just you gradually showing more of a slightly nore unfiltered version of your authentic self ❤❤
🚨NEW CONTENT IDEA!!! 🚨 Raven, since Boogie always tries to escape and be outside, you guys should build or buy him a Catio! I think he would love it lol 🎉 Start with mood boards ideas - then we can ask Chewy or Petsmart to get on board sponsor wise 😂
This is the type of content I love. Very relatable and it gives us a look at what you do for work. We can understand why you may not always upload now. You’re a busy bee 🐝 ❤
If I’m honest, I appreciate how real this is! And I appreciate how vulnerable and open you’re being. It honestly makes me feel seen as well with trying to keep it all together when you’re struggling mentally. It’s like we know it will get better eventually but as of right now, everything sucks and that’s okay!
Raven sorry to hear about the depression, but I am humbled to see you are pushing through it and still posting for us. You are an inspiration. The gimble can be tricky at first but you will get better using it overtime.
Raven and Sam bickering like an old married couple has me dying 😭😭 it was Sam yelling from the other room like a grandpa that got me
I absolutely love real deal no filter content as it relatable to most peoples every day life.😊
I actually really like the chill and laid back vlogs they are so not boring to us i prop you right up on my desk at work and listen and look up it gets me through my work day
We love the narration of what you're doing, you're a great story teller at heart and that comes through even in the little daily tasks
I personally love just a normal day in the life realistically yk not everything is going to be perfect in life yk so I do enjoy your parties, etc. But I also love and have a soft spot for your realistic daily life vlogs I don’t know if that may be easier for you or how it goes, but as a subscriber, I love watching this type of content❤
Girl you are so close to 2 Million subscribers
Raven we appreciate every vlog you post for us we know this stuff is not easy but I have been here since ziya was born and I have loved every one of these videos that you post you never Fail to make us smile you gave us a 1 hour vlog today we love that from you thank you girl we love you and are so proud of you keep up the good work 🎊🫶🩷
I love all of your content, no matter what it is. I think that your fans love you and love what you do and how you presented yourself over the years. You have grown as a individual, then as a young person, then as a young single mother, then as a business woman and managing your brand and future empire. You are always changing and that is real life. We are never in the same box long, especially in life.
I have watched since the mint green walls, box braids and diy galaxy shorts days. I’m now 29 and just now became a mom myself to twin boys this past June. It’s kinda weird to say I love you to a person and family you’ve never met… but I do. Every era. Every idea and vision that’s been brought to life. Because what you put out is always appreciated and inspiring. Your hustle and grind. ALWAYS creating something for your subscribers is undeniable. You have created a corner on the internet, a safe haven that is always open and welcoming. You bring comfort and a home to many. Being that consistent, can come at a price. As an og subscriber this vlog was really special showing the realness. You sacrifice a lot, and this work can be taxing on one’s mental health. What you do, all you juggle while being a mother, business owner, boss, landlord (the list goes on) is incredible. I am believing for you, your family & team. Cheering you on always 🤞🏾 Thank you raven ✨💓
I love these vlogs, I just want to say, Raven give yourself more grace! You're so high functioning, please don't let that rob you of the simplicity of living in joy. Otherwise you'll spend more time in your head and saying out loud, self-judgements disguised as critiques. Get hugs more often. LIke those body sinking, soul affirming hugs! Hold Ziya just a few seconds longer...it all helps. Also love, scheduled 30 mins naps (foam earplugs for deep sleep...set an alarm) along with Vitamin D/Vitamin K2 going into the Fall season until late Spring is a game changer for depressive episodes.
Girl, yes! I love this episode. You know the saying “be so for real” well, this is giving raw and real. And so relatable, I appreciate it. And I find myself love watching people vlog a regular day.
Praying you feel better, and be strengthened and comforted during this season. 🙏🏽💛
Love the new camera, it feels like its giving a better idea od space and it all looks much smoother ❤
Thank you for your vlogs. They are the best at making True life reels meaning the complicated struggles of a RUclips blogger. The ins and outs UPS and Downs,slip ups, the rights and wrongs. But guess what ? You survived.
Raven, you are one of a kind. You are blessed with many talents. Be grateful. Keep going your vlogs helping show us educate us. Thank you 😊
I like this kind of stuff and I like the kind that’s curated too. I’ve been watching you since you were in college which makes me feel old now. LOL. Give yourself grace to find your way. You have enough true fans to support you and fan your flame until you find something that ignites you again.
Thank you for the transparency… currently going through it and it’s nice to know we aren’t alone sometimes.
I'm so glad you decided to show us real life content we need this kind of stuff not all the deal brands that everyone can't afford or all the lavish trips just real stuff thank you. Peace and blessings and hang in there❤
Raven, you are your biggest critic. Be softer and kinder to yourself because GIRL we love your content even if we are a fly on the wall 💗🌷!!
I honestly really missed videos like this, I just love this time of content.
This is what we wanna see Raven! Regular day to day. Occasional silence and montage of what you’re doing. And do all the explaining you want. We love to hear and see the day to day! ♥️♥️♥️
Raven, I feel like you are such a sweet, fun, real down to earth girlie! You’re amazing and inspiring. Real content is such a breath of fresh air on RUclips. Thank you for being you!
I really loved the slow pace of the first minutes of the vlog 💗✨ we love to see you try different things and evolve Raven !
this blog was needed. It was very healing to see the real side of your world. I’m not a fan of the broll vlogs that don’t have much talking. This Vlog right here was perfect. you did an amazing job. 💛
Thank you for always showing the effort you put into your content & being transparent. We appreciate you & your consistency 🫶🏾
I always look forward to your vlogs‼️Raven, you are truly an inspiration ‼️❤️🤗💯🔥
It’s not simple filming for different platforms while trying to film different types of content bts vlog informative diy it’s tough you’re doing amazing such an inspiration❤
LOVE this long form content Raven. I enjoy seeing how you work and your days.
I am a massage therapist and I highly recommend trying one for yourself. I think it could really bring you some calm. I'd love to provide you with one but I'm all the way in NJ.
I am praying for you and rooting for you. You are such an incredible woman. I appreciate the time and effort that you put into everything you do, you keep me inspired to do my best. HUGS!!
An xxxxxtra long vlogg, you‘re spoiling us, AGAIN😩❤️
Aw just want to give you a virtual hug girly🫶🏾🫶🏾 loved this vlog btw💕
Girl instant relatability! We see you girl 👏🏾
Sorry that Ziya had to have that experience of accidently cutting her finger. I am glad she is okay now.
Im so glad Ziya was okay! I am also rooting for you! Mental health is no joke. Im also going through seasonal depression on top on postpartum. I cant imagine having that on top of you and the pressure of millions of ppl as well. No matter what take care of yourself. As for me I will always be watching raven elyse content no matter what ❤ wishing you peace and joy ❤
Give us all the real and raw content. It reminds me that other people struggle with seasonal depression, mom stuff, busy day to day, just real life. 😅 I like knowing what you’re doing and preparing for, feels like a FaceTime. Keep doing you ❤️
Raven! Your vlogs are a perfect mix of yap and showcasing what you do. Don’t change 💕
Right! Like we get it but we also appreciate the break down!!
I actually loved when you were playing with the new camera! Then Sam came running out like we all knew! That and breaking down what you actually do every day was incredibly insightful.
I personally love the more relatable vlogs, also i noticed in your office it looked kinda dark, maybe you could get one of those like sunrise lamps? I heard they are supposed to help with SAD, just an idea 🫶🏾
1:02:57 I feel like this video really shows how tough this job can really be. It shows what these contact creators really put into these videos the time in the effort to get all this good quality. She is really good at what she does and she just works so hard and it’s just such little time in the day to do this type of stuff but I see a lot of effort that you put out and what you do and once again, just really appreciate you showing the real life timing of what you really do behind the scenes❤
I know that you haven’t enjoyed doing vlogs for a while because you thought they were boring but this gave me “Raye’s Week” nostalgia. It’s something about putting on your vlogs and doing whatever I have to do while watching you do whatever you have to do. I personally will always watch.
I really enjoyed this video. Having content that is just real and authentic to where you are currently is refreshing to watch. I hope these type of vlogs continue.
Switch to daylight lightbulbs in the winter. It will reduce the dreariness you feel.
I love this format of vlogging! It’s relatable, it’s realistic,& the true hustle. We have gotten so used to the glamour of everything. & I remember a time where RUclips vlogs was the REAL of it all behind the glamour of the more planned videos.
I love the raw relatable content ❤
Just some suggestions : I love any type of series! I think you are such a multifaceted and interesting person so some examples of series that can be cool:
1. Trying new recipes from different places etc (cooking shows style segment , fun editing , different familiar guest )
2. After hours with Raven Elyse: Drink cocktails recipes coming up with cool names pairing it with foods with more adult commentary ( this could even be 20 min videos )
3. I think you would thrive playing the sims LOL ! especially with builds and CC might be a fun hobby even if you don't record !
4. Trying new makeup and hairstyles! I know you have your go-tos but it may be fun to try some beauty trends on the channel
5. Styling outfits for specific events even if you don't go to them
I know it may not be worth the work to film the but I think the fun. throwaway videos in between may give you a break from the norm! I am a long time supporter & Im cheering you on in this new season! You got this!
When you made the drink I said yeah it’s been one of those days but you know we’re out here & we appreciate these realistic vlogs. Happy that you’re at least trying to work through the kinks & you’re not alone. I know that happier days are ahead for you. Everything for a reason & a season & we keep it moving. You’re doing amazing sweetie! ❤❤❤
I was watching this and just kept thinking “she just like me fr” lol
Raven I enjoy you talking don't stop. You are so honest and we haven't seen that on youtube that much. Please don't over work yourself. And get your peace of mind every day.😊(RELAX)
I'm 61 and enjoy watching you.
😊 Thanks
Here for the IT IS WHAT IT ISSS vibes! Watching while i color and decompress. We all in survival mode!
I enjoy the transparency every day can’t always be esthetic. As someone who suffers from depression I absolutely can relate and appreciate this vlog I feel seen❤
It's actually super beautiful to see you guys coming up with ideas on how things are going to be done hopefully soon
Don’t know what kind of impact my one comment makes but i am HERE for this type of content. The longer the better I love looking forward to your uploads on Sunday and knowing I have something to space out on is a great feeling. I would love to see more of these types of vlogs.❤
All of my RUclips babies are so hard on themselves. I took that name because I see you guys. All of you are beyond talented and amazing. If you have over a million followers, you must be doing something right.
I would watch anything you post raven. You could post a five minute video making ramen and I would still watch it 😂
@@ChynaLainay907 I agree‼️
Raven we love you! I love seeing life from your point of view. Thanks for always showing up for US. Remember to Breathe and take a break sometime❤
I love this style of content!! Real and raw; no expectations of perfection. Feels like facetime lol
Loved today’s vlog aaaand loved that you got the pocket cam cuz I have one and haven’t used it yet, but you’ve inspired me! I love the talking and rambling on LOL!!! And as someone who does content for my biz (not on your scale) I totally get it which is probably why I’m not as consistent 🤦🏽♀️as I need to be from idea to execution to posting it’s a whole lot of stuff that has to happen and if you’re solo don’t even think about it!!! So kudos to you for doing this with excellence and for how long you’ve been doing it!!! 🎉🎉
I love raw !!! I’m tired of everyone living “ perfect “ and having the perfect vision and perfect goals ! I’m struggling to figure out what exactly is going on with me! Nice to see I’m not the only one! ❤
You’re content today 🎉 just seeing the raw everything is what we’re here for!! Sorry you are having SAD emotions…sending hugs and prayers!!!
this type of content is so refreshing & definitely needed❤ a lot of content creators think that their audience doesn’t grow with them, but that’s so not true. I watched you in high school, college, and now in my adult life so I live for the changes in content. At the end of the day, do what you love and you won’t have to “work”, I think you’re just in a season of trying to fall back in love with content creation because it became more obligatory now that you do it full time, and that is completely ok Raven. Take into consideration what will perform well of course, but do what you truly enjoy and then it’ll transform into long term viewers rather than temporary clicks. I loved the DJI camera quality too!
I loved this vlog! You have been making such good content, Raven. The podcast, your TikTok, and now the vlog. You care about what you create and your viewers, and it really shows.
I love hearings you talk, ramble, explain things, so please continue!
Definitely love how raw this is- I missed seeing this side of you. Brings me back to your older videos. ✨
I've always loved your weekly vlogs back when you are in the Dallas. They were raw and what life looked like for a lot of us during that time.
Missed this type of content. Thanks Raven🎉❤
I think you explain what you're doing very well and I've learned a lot about what it's like to work with a brand by watching your content. I hope you are happy with this vlog because I think it's great content. Thanks.
I rarely comment but I always hit the like 👍🏽 button. This vlog is really needed and shows the realistic side of a content creator goes through without the glitter and lights. Thank you for being open to showing the true BTS!💘
I love all types of content from you, Raven. 💕
Absolutely loved this Vlog ❤
While you may think we’re not enjoying your content, we really do. I know it’s easier said than done, but don’t be so hard on yourself! Take care of yourself and whatever content you make (especially long form for me… I LOVE RUclips and am never on IG or TikTok) we will enjoy! You are dope, your life is dope and you give me all the inspo to make my life worthwhile AT HOME. Because you really don’t go many places to have fun and neither do I. Love you girl, and I mean it!!! 🫶🏽
Raven I love this raw unfiltered version of you that you’re sharing with us. Thank you for trusting your gut on this one !❤ you’re a breath of fresh air!
I personally enjoy you explaining what you’re doing. I love context! Please keep that up
I love this content! Just honestly and truly you! The ups & downs😂 i support you no matter the content🥰✨
I’ve always been a supporter.. but this has me feeling a RAW authentic feeling Ive never felt from you ❤ You don’t have to share but you did. Thank you! Hoping this helps someone out there experiencing life in a similar way you are.
I love the yapping! If I’m playing a video it makes it easy to know what’s going on even if I walk away for a sec!
Ziya realizing your camera was following her face was so cute, loved the vlog!
❤I rather this type of vlog. It seems to mimic our lives.
This clog was everything, made me come to some realizations on life tbh. Thank you for sharing real life. Made me feel like you were talking to us
I love to see the raw, real truth about social media. As someone who keeps going back and forth about whether this is something I’d like to pursue, it’s nice to get a general idea of what I’d be setting myself up to. And I understand I won’t have the same problems as you specifically, because im just starting, but we look up to influencers like you. And seeing what you do and how you navigate social media is what has us decide whether we want this or not. I do appreciate the raw content! I’m sure it lifts a bit of weight off of your shoulders too - that you don’t need to be performative all the time for your viewers.
I wish you nothing but the best during this season of uncertainty, Raven 🩷💐
I really liked the rawness of this vlog, even the editing style was different from your other vlogs, I think you're on the right track for developing a different type of weekly/dayinthelife type of video. Not sure if I'm making sense lol but also the Cafe coffee you drank is VERY strong, I drank it once and felt horrible, NEVER again
In love with this content, I always loved watching u too because ur authentic and keep it real😂❤
🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒I actually loved this vlog.This reminds me of your content from back in the day, which is why I fell in love with you and your journey. I like the "rough edges" and less slick content, as well as moments when everything is shot like it's straight out of Hollywood. It's YOU that I like, and your whole world that I watch for...not just the pretty parts! I struggle with depression as well, so I hear ya on so many levels! But I keep you and Ziya and your who crew in my thoughts and prayers!🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒
