It’s nice that this channel isn’t just about makeup. There are some great life lessons and philosophical discussions here. Thank you for your openness and honesty here.
To anyone who's ever been a victim of bullying / hate / violence because of their appearance, gender, orientation, race : DO NOT ever let a hateful notion 'there's something wrong with me' sink in. Trust me, it's a recipe for self hatred, I've wasted half my life feeling it. When we suffer and we need a break, it's only natural to think: 'maybe if I wasn't 'different', if I was 'normal' I would be accepted. No, haters will always find something to pray upon. I've always had kinda androgynous look, which was a fuel for bullies when I was growing up. I embraced it, used it to my advantage in my acting / modeling career, I was almost the face of Leon in these new Resident Evil games :) Remember; There's never anything wrong with you.There might be extremely toxic people around you who can see our potential and value but will keep and drag us down with intent and hideus determination. They do it out of jealousy, they don't want to see us happy or sucessful. They want us docile so we can be manipulated.
I was bullied in the eighth grade. By someone ugly, a tomboy. I was sick every morning before I went to school. I ignored her but her words pierced me. I still think about that. I know I am a good person and non- deserving it
@@sherrypettit5552 Hi, I can absolutely relate to being sick a night before school or in the morning. I know it's a cliche but I always try to use that painful memory as a impulse to work even harder on my goals, so that I would never feel that 'sickness' in future.
Not gonna lie, I’m the flakey friend sometimes. I finally realized it’s because I’m the “therapist” friend. My friends only call me when they want to meet up and dump all their trauma, then leave. No lunch dates, no fun trips or shopping or anything. Just trauma-dumping, without me being able to get a word in edgewise. I cut those folks off this year. I feel like a huge weight has been lifted! Love this kinda content, Angie!
Trying to explain "friends" shit talking about each other, putting each other down, intentionally making you feel bad, and things like that to my youngest daughter has been a struggle. I had a horrible, absolutely horrible time with friends in middle school. I didn't realize that real friends didn't do that in high school once I met my current still 3 best friends.
DIDO!!!I hated highschool myself..who I thought were my friends, from elementary started a " Hippo Haters Club" and guess who was the hippo? Then I walked into Math one day and everyone was almost chanting "HEY Dyke" back in 2000 being gay was a thing not like its nothing today, and I wasnt even gay, it was a rumor my "friend" started. She even told people I tried to touch her. That was so traumatic for me. I never ever ever experienced bullying joking etc because my household was more serious and my brother was 12 yrs older so he never picked on me, bugged me etc. I couldn't clearly see red flags. I was very bubbly and naive and I had no idea how to handle bad friends and I ended up choosing homeschooling. I am 36 now and that crap sticks with you. Especially if you struggle to find your people. I am a mother now and ALL the past stuff has come up and I am so anxious for my son. He is very kind and doesn't pick up on if a kid is a friend or not. I get jealous too but I do not just rag on that person, usually I reflect on WHY I am being triggered. Its a me problem. People project a lot, you almost have to have earpluggs in these days. Phew a rant eh lol Glad you found your people though!
Recently, I had a friend who was secretly talking behind my back and saying she had all these problems with me. Never had a real reason why and never wanted to talk to my face about it. I was completely blindsided. She almost felt threatened by my “normal-ness” and insecure about herself cause I was secure and confident in my life.
I have made a lot of friends on Bumble BFF. It has been amazing. I have tried to make friends other ways: interests, church, school, etc. and it was hard and slow. I used bumble bff and immediately made some amazing connections and friends. I just found that people going to school, class or whatever were going for multiple reasons - maybe to make friends, maybe not. Whereas people on bumble bff are there to make friends. You can also see with their info, interests and answers to questions if you think you'll have a lot in common. And you can fill specific friend needs - friends who want to make a book club, friends who want to get coffee, friends who like your favorite team or show, or you can look for a best friend to do it all. It's also interesting to make a profile and think about what you bring to the table as a friend. You kind of have to "market" yourself and its good to think about not only what you want but what you can give too. I hope you have/had fun on your trip! ❤
Seniors make great friends, there are a lot of senior centres out there....maybe volunteering? reading, playing games, just talking to them; they have lived and have a ton of insight.
I moved to a new city as an adult and didn’t know anyone. I finally found friends doing theater! It’s a great way to meet people because you’re all working on a long project together so you get to know people. You could volunteer at a community theater to do make up for a production and you will meet so many people. You could also join a coworking space! There are a ton of cool places in Austin and people join them because they WANT to be around others and meet people. The coworking spaces regularly host social things for members to meet. I think you would love it.
I’d hang out with you, Angie! 🤗 my recommendation for finding friends would be pick something you’re passionate about or something you’ve maybe never tried and take a class. Maybe I’m biased because I’m an artist but I met a really great friend who’s tried and true through going and participating in art shows. We have a similar style in our art so we rely on each other’s opinions for advice when we’re working on a painting. We also just clicked on many levels so we talk about our personal lives. The idea is you may find a good friend along with a new hobby or existing hobby. That way it’s easier to break the ice when you first go to said class and you’re in person! I also think as a woman in my 40’s, I realize that your circle of friends getting a bit smaller. I think it’s due to generally speaking everyone having busy lives, families, aging parents, whatever the case and you’re not out clubbing or going out as much on the weekends. Best of luck to finding some new friends! 🤗
I think, lack of time is just an excuse for many people. It's so common, that it became totally acceptable nowadays. To prove my point, I once messaged my very close friend (I sincerely considered her my family) friend that I can come and watch her kids on a weekend so she and her husband could do anything they want. She replied with "We have plans".... She added later something like a gratitude for the offer, but our friendship was never the same after that. My point here is that we could spend time together even if she had something to do with kids if she only wanted that.
@@annas4714It’s very true that we do have busy lives, and I’m guilty of forgetting to reply from time to time. I try to be forgiving when it happens to me. It really depends on the situation, but I understand and can emphasize. I recently had a birthday and a very close friend whose also a neighbor turn down an invite to my birthday get together. It wasn’t anything fancy - just hanging out with my family. She replied with “I appreciate the invite, but I won’t be able to make it.” No word on plans or why. I didn’t even want a gift or anything like that. Just wanted to spend time with the people I love. I’m not saying she was obligated, but I guess she just couldn’t be bothered. I’m doing my best to let it go because that’s the best thing to do for my inner peace.
I've found a great way to meet friends as an adult is through activities you like (I met lots of people through the local community theatre community), and also table-top gaming! A good weekly DnD group can introduce you to some amazing people!
I think meeting people is hard, but the way I’ve met people is doing things I enjoy doing, like going to karaoke, joining a bowling league, a pool league, they have darts leagues as well, if that’s something that you’re into! There may be other groups to join that you could be able to meet people in person! 😊❤
“A friend to all is a friend to none.” I learned that saying a long time ago and I live by this rule. My mom always used to say “If they’re talking about you they’re at least leaving someone else alone.” I agree with you 💯! ❤❤
I’ve said that as well. If you need to talk about someone let it be me and leave others alone. I am very protective of my friends and family so I would rather someone talk about me than them.
My mom always told me "Don't worry about them talking about you, worry when they stop🛑 talking about you. Because as long as they're talking about you, YOU are on THEIR mind,🧠 they are thinking about you, YOU are the important one". 💪
Hey Angie, thank you for being so vocal about mental health, you are an amazing advocate, I know how you share makes me feel not so alone. Thank you, oh and also for the looks, vlogs, doggos and all your content❤
To make friends as an adult, you have to show up somewhere consistently. And that's not as easy as when you simply went to school every day! I've entered my thirties now. Some of my old friends moved away, most of my friends have partners (while I'm single) and some are starting with kids and such. I work fully remote. Yeah I started to feel a little lonely! So I joined a pottery class and I show up every single week. Some of the people there are way older, but that still leads to nice connections and good conversations. And they care about each other because it's such a nice group of people. Plus I love working with my hands instead of staring at a computer screen. Then to meet more young people, I joined the Young Soroptimists in my town. That is a worldwide organisation of women for women. Specifically for working women! It's networking, charity, fun. Maybe they're also active in your town :)
I am sometimes that "flaky" friend.. but not through choice, just an unfortunate by-product of having a physical disability that causes me intense, chronic pain. Personally, I cannot be friends with people who just assume I don't want to go to something, forgetting that I probably really want to but my body literally hates me. Not getting invited is hurtful and makes people with disabilities feel invisible and unloved... 😔💜
I've found within myself through my 39 years that people tend to be judgemental as a way to validate themselves and something that they maybe do or don't do that makes them feel guilty. Guilt is the worst human emotion to experience and we try to avoid it at all costs. I myself have caught myself being judgemental or rude about others when I'm jealous or really just unhappy with something I myself have done. I've really really tried to move past that and not be like that after realizing why I did it and that no one wants, likes or deserves to be judged. We have zero ideas what it's like to be in another person's mind.
I visit old people in a nursing home ( now that we can do that again) and just have a cup of tea and listen to them. They are often very funny. I started doing this after going there with my students and just made a connection with several of the senior citizens there and now I visit them on my own. They’re fantastic and love visitors
When I first moved to Florida, I signed up for Meetup and found a group of wine drinkers. We went to wine tastings and food and wine pairing events. It was a great way to meet people who have the same hobbies.
I very rarely talk to my best friends. I spoke with my absolutely, hands down, very best friend today. But we rarely are able to find matching times to get together at this point in our lives. We're always there for each other if needed and she's one of my favorite people in the universe to spend time with. It's hard with kids and my kids are older than most of my friends kids so we're like at different points in our lives if that makes sense.
On the subject of friends in the neighbourhood. I don't have anyone, not even the neighbours (too old), I'm always alone, but I've tried to find people in the same hobby. But somehow it hasn't worked out yet. I am a very sceptical, reserved and shy person at the beginning. Once I really know someone, I am the opposite. Only in the beginning I always have problems because I'm afraid of being hurt, made fun of and taken advantage of. Friendships are very difficult and somehow impossible, I have the feeling.
I agree with you. Negativity breeds negativity in my opinion. So even if it’s not directed at me, negative-think and negative-speak just makes me think more negatively in general also and feel bad or moody in my experience.
Yes!! Loosing faith in humanity hurts so bad. I have to protect my head from it or I just spiral down. Totally get it! And then I will see or have an encounter online and you can see just what a decent human that person is and it is SO UPLIFTING! Thank you thank you thank you all those decent people out there that help restore my faith. I love you guys, Angie being one of them 💞💞💞
Maleficent might be my favorite Disney villain. They used to be so good at making baddies but I feel there hasn't been a good Disney villain in a long time. Have you watched Puss In Boots: The Last Wish? It came out last year and had some of the best villains I've seen in a kids movie in years. As for making friends, yeah, I feel it's a lot harder as an adult. I'd recommend going to class for something that you're interested in (yoga, cooking, etc), joining a book club, a church (if you're religious) and volunteering somewhere. I've had varying levels of success with all of these. Sometimes I made a friend but even if I didn't, it was still nice to get out and socialize. At some point I realized that making friends as an adult was basically like dating. You gotta go out there, see if there's anyone you click with, ask them to coffee and see if it goes anywhere. LOL.
Omgoodness- your thoughts on friendship are something I needed to hear! People that don’t follow through often… people that talk about others when they are not present … those traits are difficult for me to deal with too… I have been separated from my husband we were supposed to be working on reconciliation, but he continues to make and not keep promises… I am disappointed with myself for allowing this to go for so long (3 years separated)… I don’t have a lot of family so I think I was/am clinging to partly because I wanted so badly to have and be part of a family. Anyway thanks for your thoughts, and helping me remember we can choose to move towards peace. ❤
I hope Disney was everything you hoped and better! My husband took me there on our first vacation when we were dating and it was amazing. Such good memories and I hope you get great ones too. ❤️
I also love Emperor's New Groove!! And I agree, the Disney movies that aren't about romantic love are so much better. Mulan, Frozen/Frozen 2, Brave, Onward! Also, thank you for talking so openly about mental health and bullying. Your channel is so refreshing.
What you’re saying is just resonating with me. I really only spend time with my husband and I really wish I had a GF to hang out with. I wish I could find someone as interested in makeup as me. 🌻💛
Any of yall live in BC Canada?? lol I too only see my kid and husband; our friend group just went pooooof. People grow apart, values change etc.. It would be nice to have just 1 person who can vent to and who wont spill your secrets. My closest friend lives in Texas, originally from England. BIT of a drive
I absolutely understand the whole flakey or often canceling plans kind of people are really annoying, and many in my past would probably say, that I was/am that kind of person. However since late march of last years, I now know that it have been my mind and body subconsciously making sure, that I didn't do something that would make me have a physical burn-out and mental blackout/dissociation immediately afterwards. Do to having severe undiagnosed ADHD, PTSD, anxiety and depression (and not as symptoms of my ADHD, but as separate things on top of each other). Now I am very upfront with people (that making actual plans for me is very difficult), especially new people come into my life.
An absolutely gorgeous look! And I appreciate hearing your perspective on things. I don't understand why some people choose to target specific beauty creators and pile on with venomous comments. How much negativity do people harbour in themselves?
I would try a local community run - runners are usually fun and chill folks who are very accepting. Don't worry about pace or even if you go and just walk, - I have found many of them to be amazing. I had a large friend group in my last town and 90% were from the running group I was in!
It is so strange, every single one of my closest for LIFE friends I literally met organically, one of them we were walking 2 blocks to school and we ending up being in the same program and the same class. It was almost as if it was meant to be, everything aligned. And this strangely continues to happen, I run into the same friends for LIFE at the grocery store, one time a concert we both forgot to mention we were going and were in the same section 3 rows apart! I think the trick is you gotta be out there doing things of course…..in some ways people are drawn to each other….at least for me. Thanks Angie! 💕
Friendships are hard especially if 1 sided! Worse is flaky when something better comes along! Lost my mom last year and friends along with it when the support wasn't there! I luv disney i can't pick fav but i luv muana and brave! Hope you had awesome time and got home safe!!
I just love you Angie!! You seem like you've got your head on your shoulders correctly!! If I ever move back to Texas, I'll be your coffee and bar bestie 🥰😎💞
Letting go of friends is so hard but definitely sometimes the best discussion! Completely agree if you shit talk a mutual friend when she isnt there you are definitely shit talking me when I arent either. Such good insights. Making new friends after school is so hard!!!
I have dropped friends who are liars (usually for no good reason to lie anyway), who are only in it for themselves or are just shady people overall. I've learned to listen to and trust my gut. It's almost never wrong. If you are getting a bad feeling about a person, chances are you aren't wrong. Building friendships takes a ton of time, energy, commitment, etc, so I don't waste any of it on people that don't deserve it.
I have moved several times to different cities/countries, and the best way to make friends is through your IRL job or IRL hobbies, especially if those hobbies imply you have to communicate with people. I take dance classes, and it's a great way to meet people. but also, maybe someone in your current circle could be that person for you. like, if you know a neighbour of yours has their nails done or likes going to a specific coffee shop or something, ask if they'd want to go together. I once asked a dance-mate if she wanted to grab some bubble tea (or was it poke?) after a class, and we ended up talking for 5 hours that day because we found out we had a lot of similar experiences in life, and we just hadn't had space to talk about such stuff in a group setting before. all the best to you
Tip for meeting people: Join groups focused on hobbies you enjoy or want to pick up. You will meet regularly and get to know people first. Also, if nothing else, you will get to enjoy the hobby or activity for self-enrichment.
I had trouble meeting friends in a new town. The thing that helped me is I did a yoga teacher training program and met wonderful people there. I think that learning a skill with people is a strong bonding experience. Plus it means that you share a passion so you have at least one thing in common 😊
Hi Angie. I don't friend someone easily. Any drama or stress must leave my life. I honestly am blown away by mmy new fri3nd. Jodie has been trying, but not pushy, to be my friend. I told her I hhave no clue when it comes to friends. She said. Friends support each other and hang out. I accepted. I've been sick for a month. I actually restrained myself today at Marshall's and saw the BH Cosmetics "Looking Like a Snack" palette. However I did not get the ABH Norvina #1 and #2. ! 😂❤😊
There’s an app called Meetup that allows you to join different groups depending on your hobbies/likes/etc and meet to do the activities. I’ve met some friends through there.
I would agree with you about Jen! I feel I know Jen and my impression is exactly the same that she is a caring person and very giving! I have been one of those people that have supported Jaclyn Hill in the past with different products but I do feel now that my purchases are now better aligned with people and brands that are positive and up hold the same moral framework that I guide myself.
I love your top/shirt thingy, it’s really beautiful! I really enjoyed the topic of this video, friendship can be hard but also amazing. I used to have a girl friend group growing up, and none of them are friends with each other anymore, but I’m friends with most of them, only one on one though. It’s hard and weird trying to all be together as a group, so it’s probably better that way. But I miss having a girl gang like I feel is normal for many others I talk to.
The mental health part definitely spoke to me. I got my first hate mail this week. Other creators told me it just comes with putting yourself out there.
I laugh to myself when someone says that people would never say such rude or mean things in person because that has happened to me on many occasions. Your eye look turned out so beautiful. Hope you had a great time in Florida!
Shop your stash and create a custom Emperor’s New Groove palette from other shadows/palettes! That would be cool. Or a series with Beauty & The Beast and Mulan!!! I would love that. 💄 🏰 ⭐️
Ideas for meeting people: you could look for a book club meetup group, or volunteer at a local organization (animal shelter?), beginner yoga, art class. It’s hard to meet people, no doubt about that
This look is beautiful! It goes perfect with your pretty shirt you got on. I am the same way when it comes to making friends. Learn to always trust in my concernment. When it comes to people. Becareful who you let in your life. I can see what you mean when it comes to people on-line. Lot of mean spirited people. I found some good hearted people too. I have no time for the drama and not nice people. Not good for your mental health.
I love Jen Gerard and I am glad her and others have spoken up ! No JH has never apologized really it was all a crock ! It’s sad what she did to Marlina and how much money she lost and her business .. and then the other girl she stole her company ( Canadian girl ) plus the girl she stole her brush too and called it hers!! That’s only the few that has came out .. Jen seems like a mother that tries to help all .. JH just used soo many and lied !! Even now I have deleted her and will not support her ..
You just put on the orange lip and it made me think of my mom who passed away nearly 20 years ago. She always wore "24K" (I believe) by Revlon. I wonder if they still make it? She would've loved all the beauty content that's out in the world.
When I was younger, my mom took me to a play for Beauty and the Beast…when the cart with Mrs. Potts and Chip on it with human faces in the cup and pot but the table below was open….but no legs!! I was amazed! Still don’t understand how they did it! There was no like black cloth or anything…at least that I could see at the time. But it was mind blowing to my little girl self! 😂
I understand the need for meeting people irl near you. I've been in my town for quite awhile. And at first I didn't really know what the arts center was about and the local library was closed. But since then my library has opened, the arts center this summer had art in the park 2x a month, I found the farmer's market and I know the owner of a local meat market. And I'm just getting into my community in general. I'm thinking of going to this free drop in 2x a month dance class at the arts center starting next month. And I'm excited cuz I may meet a friend there. 😊 Definitely dance, art, or cooking classes are nice ways to meet people. I hope you find what's right for you and that you find someone near to you. 😊 Also that you had a great trip and day! ❤
Now that I am in my 50s and work with very young men, as I am a truck mechanic, it is nigh on impossible to make female friends around my age. Part of me is incredibly lonely, yet the menopausal part of me is relieved as my energy ebbs and flows at its own will. For someone as lively as you, Angie, it must be very difficult to not have a local friend network.
I've definitely given up on some friends who just never seem to show up or can never make it to things, like birthdays, house warmings etc. Guess I'm just not a priority for them. I have a couple friends that i see fairly regularly but that's it. One of them we've decided to get together and paint once a week, and it's been lovely, because before that we saw eachother only occasionally.
This turned out stunning. I’ll be honest, I had a second of wondering where you were going with the orange lipstick and red and black eye but I should have known, you’d not only pull it off but kill it. Gorgeous. ❤ 🔥
Hi Gorgeous! I hope you and the rest of the group are having an amazing time at Disney! I can't wait to hear all about it ❤! I actually applaud Jen and Marlena for speaking on the Sesh! I do hope what they had to say helps anyone who may become a victim to the treatment of anyone calling themselves a friend and turning around to stab you in the back, then it's fantastic to see these women come together to support one another and be able to help others in a similar situation. ❤❤❤ I honestly was shocked by what I heard! It would be phenomenal if people would just show respect and kindness on the internet! Misery loves company! I avoid feeding the beast (Misery)! It's someone just screaming for attention, whether it is for good or bad 😢. I'm looking forward to seeing your Vlog! See you soon Gorgeous!❤
Love this look it's so fall and love these colors on you. I love putting orange red and purple together too and I learned that from another Odens Eye Palette, The Hummingbird from Tina's collab palette. Also I think joining a class like cooking or dancing would probably be a great way to meet some new people. And can't wait to see your Disney vlogs!
Hi Angie here in Arizona we have meet up groups called meet up. We go to bars as a group and play cards there or have karaoke. You can meet alot of people that way and just go to events that interests you.
I hate how introverts are depicted as people who are constantly trying to get out of plans. I'm very introverted, and if I don't want to go to something I'll just say I don't want to, and if I made plans I've probably planned my whole week around it so I'm definitely showing up.
I learned that talking shit friend lesson after 15+ years of being best friends. Talk everyday, for hours at times, did everything together, our daughters born a few months apart (who are still super close). Yes, you are not special and they will pick apart your life to everyone they know.
I felt silly purchasing the reformulated Norn's palette but honestly you can really notice the better quality and I've been using it a ton! Glad I did it
I'm excited for your trip, and vlog. I hope you have an amazing time. I think there are groups that you can join for meet ups with new people. I know there are some hiking groups, and female group meet ups. You may Google what's in your area. 🤗
Have you considered starting an in-person genre-specific book club at your local library? You love to read, and you usually mention books that fit into Sci Fi/ Fantasy, I think. You might meet some people who could be that movie-and-drink group.
It’s nice that this channel isn’t just about makeup. There are some great life lessons and philosophical discussions here. Thank you for your openness and honesty here.
Yes, 100% !!
I totally agree. I literally don't wear makeup 😂 but I love her content. I watch every video! ❤❤

Seniors make great friends, there are a lot of senior centres out there....maybe volunteering? reading, playing games, just talking to them; they have lived and have a ton of insight.
I moved to a new city as an adult and didn’t know anyone. I finally found friends doing theater! It’s a great way to meet people because you’re all working on a long project together so you get to know people. You could volunteer at a community theater to do make up for a production and you will meet so many people. You could also join a coworking space! There are a ton of cool places in Austin and people join them because they WANT to be around others and meet people. The coworking spaces regularly host social things for members to meet. I think you would love it.
I’d hang out with you, Angie! 🤗 my recommendation for finding friends would be pick something you’re passionate about or something you’ve maybe never tried and take a class. Maybe I’m biased because I’m an artist but I met a really great friend who’s tried and true through going and participating in art shows. We have a similar style in our art so we rely on each other’s opinions for advice when we’re working on a painting. We also just clicked on many levels so we talk about our personal lives. The idea is you may find a good friend along with a new hobby or existing hobby. That way it’s easier to break the ice when you first go to said class and you’re in person! I also think as a woman in my 40’s, I realize that your circle of friends getting a bit smaller. I think it’s due to generally speaking everyone having busy lives, families, aging parents, whatever the case and you’re not out clubbing or going out as much on the weekends. Best of luck to finding some new friends! 🤗
I think, lack of time is just an excuse for many people. It's so common, that it became totally acceptable nowadays. To prove my point, I once messaged my very close friend (I sincerely considered her my family) friend that I can come and watch her kids on a weekend so she and her husband could do anything they want. She replied with "We have plans".... She added later something like a gratitude for the offer, but our friendship was never the same after that. My point here is that we could spend time together even if she had something to do with kids if she only wanted that.
@@annas4714It’s very true that we do have busy lives, and I’m guilty of forgetting to reply from time to time. I try to be forgiving when it happens to me. It really depends on the situation, but I understand and can emphasize. I recently had a birthday and a very close friend whose also a neighbor turn down an invite to my birthday get together. It wasn’t anything fancy - just hanging out with my family. She replied with “I appreciate the invite, but I won’t be able to make it.” No word on plans or why. I didn’t even want a gift or anything like that. Just wanted to spend time with the people I love. I’m not saying she was obligated, but I guess she just couldn’t be bothered. I’m doing my best to let it go because that’s the best thing to do for my inner peace.
I've found a great way to meet friends as an adult is through activities you like (I met lots of people through the local community theatre community), and also table-top gaming! A good weekly DnD group can introduce you to some amazing people!
I think meeting people is hard, but the way I’ve met people is doing things I enjoy doing, like going to karaoke, joining a bowling league, a pool league, they have darts leagues as well, if that’s something that you’re into! There may be other groups to join that you could be able to meet people in person! 😊❤
“A friend to all is a friend to none.” I learned that saying a long time ago and I live by this rule.
My mom always used to say “If they’re talking about you they’re at least leaving someone else alone.”
I agree with you 💯! ❤❤
I’ve said that as well. If you need to talk about someone let it be me and leave others alone. I am very protective of my friends and family so I would rather someone talk about me than them.
My mom always told me "Don't worry about them talking about you, worry when they stop🛑 talking about you. Because as long as they're talking about you, YOU are on THEIR mind,🧠 they are thinking about you, YOU are the important one". 💪
Hey Angie, thank you for being so vocal about mental health, you are an amazing advocate, I know how you share makes me feel not so alone. Thank you, oh and also for the looks, vlogs, doggos and all your content❤
To make friends as an adult, you have to show up somewhere consistently. And that's not as easy as when you simply went to school every day! I've entered my thirties now. Some of my old friends moved away, most of my friends have partners (while I'm single) and some are starting with kids and such. I work fully remote. Yeah I started to feel a little lonely! So I joined a pottery class and I show up every single week. Some of the people there are way older, but that still leads to nice connections and good conversations. And they care about each other because it's such a nice group of people. Plus I love working with my hands instead of staring at a computer screen. Then to meet more young people, I joined the Young Soroptimists in my town. That is a worldwide organisation of women for women. Specifically for working women! It's networking, charity, fun. Maybe they're also active in your town :)
I am sometimes that "flaky" friend.. but not through choice, just an unfortunate by-product of having a physical disability that causes me intense, chronic pain. Personally, I cannot be friends with people who just assume I don't want to go to something, forgetting that I probably really want to but my body literally hates me. Not getting invited is hurtful and makes people with disabilities feel invisible and unloved... 😔💜
I've found within myself through my 39 years that people tend to be judgemental as a way to validate themselves and something that they maybe do or don't do that makes them feel guilty. Guilt is the worst human emotion to experience and we try to avoid it at all costs. I myself have caught myself being judgemental or rude about others when I'm jealous or really just unhappy with something I myself have done. I've really really tried to move past that and not be like that after realizing why I did it and that no one wants, likes or deserves to be judged. We have zero ideas what it's like to be in another person's mind.
I visit old people in a nursing home ( now that we can do that again) and just have a cup of tea and listen to them. They are often very funny. I started doing this after going there with my students and just made a connection with several of the senior citizens there and now I visit them on my own. They’re fantastic and love visitors
When I first moved to Florida, I signed up for Meetup and found a group of wine drinkers. We went to wine tastings and food and wine pairing events. It was a great way to meet people who have the same hobbies.
I very rarely talk to my best friends. I spoke with my absolutely, hands down, very best friend today. But we rarely are able to find matching times to get together at this point in our lives. We're always there for each other if needed and she's one of my favorite people in the universe to spend time with. It's hard with kids and my kids are older than most of my friends kids so we're like at different points in our lives if that makes sense.
On the subject of friends in the neighbourhood.
I don't have anyone, not even the neighbours (too old), I'm always alone, but I've tried to find people in the same hobby. But somehow it hasn't worked out yet.
I am a very sceptical, reserved and shy person at the beginning. Once I really know someone, I am the opposite. Only in the beginning I always have problems because I'm afraid of being hurt, made fun of and taken advantage of.
Friendships are very difficult and somehow impossible, I have the feeling.
Mental health and emotional health comes first. Had to dump a “Friend” myself this year sending you all the positive vibes.
I agree with you. Negativity breeds negativity in my opinion. So even if it’s not directed at me, negative-think and negative-speak just makes me think more negatively in general also and feel bad or moody in my experience.
Yes!! Loosing faith in humanity hurts so bad. I have to protect my head from it or I just spiral down. Totally get it! And then I will see or have an encounter online and you can see just what a decent human that person is and it is SO UPLIFTING! Thank you thank you thank you all those decent people out there that help restore my faith. I love you guys, Angie being one of them 💞💞💞
Maleficent might be my favorite Disney villain. They used to be so good at making baddies but I feel there hasn't been a good Disney villain in a long time. Have you watched Puss In Boots: The Last Wish? It came out last year and had some of the best villains I've seen in a kids movie in years.
As for making friends, yeah, I feel it's a lot harder as an adult. I'd recommend going to class for something that you're interested in (yoga, cooking, etc), joining a book club, a church (if you're religious) and volunteering somewhere. I've had varying levels of success with all of these. Sometimes I made a friend but even if I didn't, it was still nice to get out and socialize. At some point I realized that making friends as an adult was basically like dating. You gotta go out there, see if there's anyone you click with, ask them to coffee and see if it goes anywhere. LOL.
I love seeing the friendships that have formed amongst my favorite creators!
I hear you about having friends to do things with in person though. 💜
And this is why I love your channel. It's not just makeup. This look has inspired me to use some palettes I haven't thought about, too! 🖤🖤🖤
Omgoodness- your thoughts on friendship are something I needed to hear! People that don’t follow through often… people that talk about others when they are not present … those traits are difficult for me to deal with too… I have been separated from my husband we were supposed to be working on reconciliation, but he continues to make and not keep promises… I am disappointed with myself for allowing this to go for so long (3 years separated)… I don’t have a lot of family so I think I was/am clinging to partly because I wanted so badly to have and be part of a family. Anyway thanks for your thoughts, and helping me remember we can choose to move towards peace. ❤
I need to try the combo of the orange shimmer with the reddish pink, its so pretty.
I hope Disney was everything you hoped and better! My husband took me there on our first vacation when we were dating and it was amazing. Such good memories and I hope you get great ones too. ❤️
I also love Emperor's New Groove!! And I agree, the Disney movies that aren't about romantic love are so much better. Mulan, Frozen/Frozen 2, Brave, Onward! Also, thank you for talking so openly about mental health and bullying. Your channel is so refreshing.
What you’re saying is just resonating with me. I really only spend time with my husband and I really wish I had a GF to hang out with. I wish I could find someone as interested in makeup as me. 🌻💛
same here, honestly
Any of yall live in BC Canada?? lol I too only see my kid and husband; our friend group just went pooooof. People grow apart, values change etc.. It would be nice to have just 1 person who can vent to and who wont spill your secrets. My closest friend lives in Texas, originally from England. BIT of a drive
I absolutely understand the whole flakey or often canceling plans kind of people are really annoying, and many in my past would probably say, that I was/am that kind of person. However since late march of last years, I now know that it have been my mind and body subconsciously making sure, that I didn't do something that would make me have a physical burn-out and mental blackout/dissociation immediately afterwards. Do to having severe undiagnosed ADHD, PTSD, anxiety and depression (and not as symptoms of my ADHD, but as separate things on top of each other). Now I am very upfront with people (that making actual plans for me is very difficult), especially new people come into my life.
"Frustrated with Humanity" would make a great (cathartic!) podcast! ❤
An absolutely gorgeous look! And I appreciate hearing your perspective on things.
I don't understand why some people choose to target specific beauty creators and pile on with venomous comments. How much negativity do people harbour in themselves?
Hope you had a fun trip! I watch all the girls you hung out with! Can’t wait to watch your vlogs 💛
I would try a local community run - runners are usually fun and chill folks who are very accepting. Don't worry about pace or even if you go and just walk, - I have found many of them to be amazing. I had a large friend group in my last town and 90% were from the running group I was in!
What an amazing group to go with. I watch all of their channels! 🌻🌻💛💛
Love this look ❤
Going shopping and stuff I mostly do with my mom or sister but not as often as we used to.
It is so strange, every single one of my closest for LIFE friends I literally met organically, one of them we were
walking 2 blocks to school and we ending up being in the same program and the same class. It was almost as if it was meant to be, everything aligned. And this strangely continues to happen, I run into the same friends for LIFE at the grocery store, one time a concert we both forgot to mention we were going and were in the same section 3 rows apart! I think the trick is you gotta be out there doing things of course…..in some ways people are drawn to each other….at least for me. Thanks Angie! 💕
I agree so much on your views so THANK YOU for making feeling that/those ways feel even more normal! Great eye look as well!
Friendships are hard especially if 1 sided! Worse is flaky when something better comes along! Lost my mom last year and friends along with it when the support wasn't there! I luv disney i can't pick fav but i luv muana and brave! Hope you had awesome time and got home safe!!
I just love you Angie!! You seem like you've got your head on your shoulders correctly!! If I ever move back to Texas, I'll be your coffee and bar bestie 🥰😎💞
I LOOOOOOVE Rachael! You guys are my favorite RUclipsrs 🎉
Letting go of friends is so hard but definitely sometimes the best discussion! Completely agree if you shit talk a mutual friend when she isnt there you are definitely shit talking me when I arent either. Such good insights. Making new friends after school is so hard!!!
I have dropped friends who are liars (usually for no good reason to lie anyway), who are only in it for themselves or are just shady people overall. I've learned to listen to and trust my gut. It's almost never wrong. If you are getting a bad feeling about a person, chances are you aren't wrong. Building friendships takes a ton of time, energy, commitment, etc, so I don't waste any of it on people that don't deserve it.
Stunning! :) Love it. I agree with you about the friendship thing.
Absolutely stunning Angie! I hope your trip was absolutely amazing and fun!
I have moved several times to different cities/countries, and the best way to make friends is through your IRL job or IRL hobbies, especially if those hobbies imply you have to communicate with people. I take dance classes, and it's a great way to meet people. but also, maybe someone in your current circle could be that person for you. like, if you know a neighbour of yours has their nails done or likes going to a specific coffee shop or something, ask if they'd want to go together. I once asked a dance-mate if she wanted to grab some bubble tea (or was it poke?) after a class, and we ended up talking for 5 hours that day because we found out we had a lot of similar experiences in life, and we just hadn't had space to talk about such stuff in a group setting before. all the best to you
Don’t get me wrong, I love Yzma, but Hades is the most iconic villain in my opinion
Emperor's New Groove will forever be my favourite Disney movie. I 100% agree. I also love Beauty and the Beast!!
Tip for meeting people: Join groups focused on hobbies you enjoy or want to pick up. You will meet regularly and get to know people first. Also, if nothing else, you will get to enjoy the hobby or activity for self-enrichment.
I had trouble meeting friends in a new town. The thing that helped me is I did a yoga teacher training program and met wonderful people there. I think that learning a skill with people is a strong bonding experience. Plus it means that you share a passion so you have at least one thing in common 😊
Epcot is my absolute favorite!!!! International Showcase!
Hi Angie. I don't friend someone easily. Any drama or stress must leave my life. I honestly am blown away by mmy new fri3nd. Jodie has been trying, but not pushy, to be my friend. I told her I hhave no clue when it comes to friends. She said. Friends support each other and hang out. I accepted. I've been sick for a month. I actually restrained myself today at Marshall's and saw the BH Cosmetics "Looking Like a Snack" palette. However I did not get the ABH Norvina #1 and #2. ! 😂❤😊
There’s an app called Meetup that allows you to join different groups depending on your hobbies/likes/etc and meet to do the activities. I’ve met some friends through there.
Mulan is one of my favorites too
I would agree with you about Jen! I feel I know Jen and
my impression is exactly the same that she is a caring person and very giving! I have been one of those people that have supported Jaclyn Hill in the past with different products but I do feel now that my purchases are now better aligned with people and brands that are positive and up hold the same moral framework that I guide myself.
I love your top/shirt thingy, it’s really beautiful! I really enjoyed the topic of this video, friendship can be hard but also amazing. I used to have a girl friend group growing up, and none of them are friends with each other anymore, but I’m friends with most of them, only one on one though. It’s hard and weird trying to all be together as a group, so it’s probably better that way. But I miss having a girl gang like I feel is normal for many others I talk to.
The mental health part definitely spoke to me. I got my first hate mail this week. Other creators told me it just comes with putting yourself out there.
I’m so sorry you encounter unkindness!!! Sending love and appreciation❤❤❤
Looking forward to your vlog and how you enjoyed your trip. 😊
I laugh to myself when someone says that people would never say such rude or mean things in person because that has happened to me on many occasions. Your eye look turned out so beautiful. Hope you had a great time in Florida!
Loved the video and the makeup look, I love hearing your opinion on topics in general❤
I hope you had the best time at Disney! I can’t wait to see you in Dec!
YES! The Emperor's New Groove is a fantastic Disney movie! 🥰🥰🥰
Shop your stash and create a custom Emperor’s New Groove palette from other shadows/palettes! That would be cool. Or a series with Beauty & The Beast and Mulan!!! I would love that.
💄 🏰 ⭐️
Ideas for meeting people: you could look for a book club meetup group, or volunteer at a local organization (animal shelter?), beginner yoga, art class. It’s hard to meet people, no doubt about that
This look is beautiful! It goes perfect with your pretty shirt you got on. I am the same way when it comes to making friends. Learn to always trust in my concernment. When it comes to people. Becareful who you let in your life. I can see what you mean when it comes to people on-line. Lot of mean spirited people. I found some good hearted people too. I have no time for the drama and not nice people. Not good for your mental health.
I love Jen Gerard and I am glad her and others have spoken up ! No JH has never apologized really it was all a crock ! It’s sad what she did to Marlina and how much money she lost and her business .. and then the other girl she stole her company ( Canadian girl ) plus the girl she stole her brush too and called it hers!! That’s only the few that has came out .. Jen seems like a mother that tries to help all .. JH just used soo many and lied !! Even now I have deleted her and will not support her ..
You just put on the orange lip and it made me think of my mom who passed away nearly 20 years ago. She always wore "24K" (I believe) by Revlon. I wonder if they still make it? She would've loved all the beauty content that's out in the world.
Do no harm-- the basis for everything I aspire to do. Maybe we can be kinder to each other with this phrase in mind.
When I was younger, my mom took me to a play for Beauty and the Beast…when the cart with Mrs. Potts and Chip on it with human faces in the cup and pot but the table below was open….but no legs!! I was amazed! Still don’t understand how they did it! There was no like black cloth or anything…at least that I could see at the time. But it was mind blowing to my little girl self! 😂
I know exactly what you mean. You want to have kindred spirits to hang out with who share your interests. I share your struggle.
I understand the need for meeting people irl near you. I've been in my town for quite awhile. And at first I didn't really know what the arts center was about and the local library was closed. But since then my library has opened, the arts center this summer had art in the park 2x a month, I found the farmer's market and I know the owner of a local meat market. And I'm just getting into my community in general. I'm thinking of going to this free drop in 2x a month dance class at the arts center starting next month. And I'm excited cuz I may meet a friend there. 😊
Definitely dance, art, or cooking classes are nice ways to meet people.
I hope you find what's right for you and that you find someone near to you. 😊 Also that you had a great trip and day! ❤
Now that I am in my 50s and work with very young men, as I am a truck mechanic, it is nigh on impossible to make female friends around my age. Part of me is incredibly lonely, yet the menopausal part of me is relieved as my energy ebbs and flows at its own will. For someone as lively as you, Angie, it must be very difficult to not have a local friend network.
I love The Emperors New Groove, too!! My reasons is not as deep as yours, I just loved how different it was from other movies, and how funny.
I've definitely given up on some friends who just never seem to show up or can never make it to things, like birthdays, house warmings etc. Guess I'm just not a priority for them. I have a couple friends that i see fairly regularly but that's it. One of them we've decided to get together and paint once a week, and it's been lovely, because before that we saw eachother only occasionally.
Love this honesty!! Also I missed you all by 3 days in orlando... but I would have fan girled soooooo best I did miss you all 😂
loving the make up look with that shirt!
This turned out stunning. I’ll be honest, I had a second of wondering where you were going with the orange lipstick and red and black eye but I should have known, you’d not only pull it off but kill it. Gorgeous. ❤ 🔥
I love Emperor’s New Groove!!!! Mushu is a fantastic sidekick. My favorite Disney movie is Hercules.
Not the poison bottle earrings 😂 the emporers new groove is absolutely my favorite Disney movie. So funny and just too good
I feel like it is hard to find friends as an adult. But would definitely try finding them through a club or group activity.
Angie, that eye look looks stunning on you. ❤
Hi Gorgeous! I hope you and the rest of the group are having an amazing time at Disney! I can't wait to hear all about it ❤!
I actually applaud Jen and Marlena for speaking on the Sesh! I do hope what they had to say helps anyone who may become a victim to the treatment of anyone calling themselves a friend and turning around to stab you in the back, then it's fantastic to see these women come together to support one another and be able to help others in a similar situation. ❤❤❤ I honestly was shocked by what I heard!
It would be phenomenal if people would just show respect and kindness on the internet! Misery loves company! I avoid feeding the beast (Misery)! It's someone just screaming for attention, whether it is for good or bad 😢.
I'm looking forward to seeing your Vlog! See you soon Gorgeous!❤
Love this look it's so fall and love these colors on you. I love putting orange red and purple together too and I learned that from another Odens Eye Palette, The Hummingbird from Tina's collab palette. Also I think joining a class like cooking or dancing would probably be a great way to meet some new people. And can't wait to see your Disney vlogs!
excited for you to be back on sunday
❤
Hi Angie here in Arizona we have meet up groups called meet up. We go to bars as a group and play cards there or have karaoke. You can meet alot of people that way and just go to events that interests you.
The Emperor's New Groove is hands down, the funniest Disney movie ever. Kronk is my favorite, "My spinach puffs!!!"
I hope you had a great time at Disney!
I hate how introverts are depicted as people who are constantly trying to get out of plans. I'm very introverted, and if I don't want to go to something I'll just say I don't want to, and if I made plans I've probably planned my whole week around it so I'm definitely showing up.
I learned that talking shit friend lesson after 15+ years of being best friends. Talk everyday, for hours at times, did everything together, our daughters born a few months apart (who are still super close). Yes, you are not special and they will pick apart your life to everyone they know.
I felt silly purchasing the reformulated Norn's palette but honestly you can really notice the better quality and I've been using it a ton! Glad I did it
You look beautiful! I love the highlighter on you and maybe I do need to bring that shade back 😅
Good Vibes! ❤
I'm excited for your trip, and vlog. I hope you have an amazing time.
I think there are groups that you can join for meet ups with new people. I know there are some hiking groups, and female group meet ups. You may Google what's in your area. 🤗
It would be fun to meet you for a coffee, or museum visit, or local park. I live in South Austin, TX... and I drive everywhere because of my work.
I like how your eye look tied into your lip color
Have you considered starting an in-person genre-specific book club at your local library? You love to read, and you usually mention books that fit into Sci Fi/ Fantasy, I think. You might meet some people who could be that movie-and-drink group.
