DYING TO BE 'BODY GOALS'? THE MOST DANGEROUS INFLUENCER TREND YET.

- Is it really work risking your life to get a bigger butt or smaller waist…?
These days the pressure put on women to look ‘instagram perfect’ in real life is huge. We’re supposed to have big boobs, tiny waists, huge bums but be tiny everywhere else - you know, the typical ‘slim thick’ Instagram bod. It is SO easy to facetune your way to that body on social media, but much harder (if not impossible) to achieve it in real life. This leads so many women to risking their lives undergoing whats known as a ‘BBL’ - Brazilian Butt Lift. BBLs are problematic for numerous reasons, but most of all they are just pure dangerous. Is it really work risking your life to be ‘body goals’? I don’t think so.

I can’t wait for the day where normal bodies are “trend”
I think that day is coming! People are getting over the instagram look
@@stephanielange wait I have that look and I’m a teen💀but with acne and a lot of pores:(
that was actually the beauty standard in the Ancient World (Greece) 🖤🌍
@@yourmom6318 so technically you don’t, which is good! Look like you 💕
Women need to start by saying "no", to the pressures of society and feeding both the beauty and pharmaceutical bank accounts!!
The dangerous and sad thing about the Instagram beauty models is, that so many men and women give the influencers confirmation and tell them how incredibly beautiful they look after the many beauty surgeries. This is so bad and dangerous for the normal (ordinary) women among us, because then we believe that we all have to look like this to be noticed. Thank you Stephanie for reminding us again and again how abnormal the Instagram beauty standards are😘 And they all look the same, btw
its actually so sad how all these once uniquely beautiful women are starting to morph into one! ugh where has the respect for individuality gone?!?!
@@stephanielange You are right but this is the truth. I watch my boyfriend that when a girl with these perfect curves pass in front of us he stares on her... so whatever we say to feel better this is what beauty means ...
@@stephanielange The funny thing is, I always say that for years to everyone that all the geordie shore cast, look exactly the same😩 They cut their own unique being out of themselves and became dolls.. such a shame because you are only one of a kind and unique when you stay yourself❤️
That's why Islam tells women to cover up so that they are not judged by the way they look but by their morals, values and character ❤️
@@stephanielange I would love you to cover another very dangerous procedure: acquafilling 😱
I think it would be good to explain why the BBL is deadly. When they transfer the fat they can accidentally inject some of the fat into a blood vessel. This is known as a fat embolism. This embolism then travels throughout the body and gets stuck in areas such as the lungs and brain which can result in sudden death or severe injury because it blocks the blood supply to those areas.
Yes! I would love to hear her talk about it more in depth along with breast implant illness. This is serious stuff!
@@koinwonderland4309 There is a plastic surgeon on YT who talks about the most dangerous plastic surgery(BBL is number one)
@@myasmith1820 yes Dr. Youn is amazing at it, he explains everything super well :)
Great explanation
Thanks!
I was a child of the 90's and early 2000's where the ideal female body was starved, skinny and basically had the proportions of a 12-year-old. I grew up thinking my butt was too big. Then I started lifting weights well before it was considered cool and I was known on campus as the weird girl with big thighs who is always eating. All of a sudden around 2013 everybody became obsessed with bigger butts (due to Kim K?) and my "big" behind was the greatest thing ever. I was getting compliments from strangers on the street left and right.. fast forward to 2020 where the beauty standard has shifted yet again and now my formely large behind is too flat and not big enough.
My poor tush has been 1. too fat, 2. too muscular and large, 3. great because it is big enough and 4. not great because it isn't big enough. 😂
Honey. You sound beautiful. Don't pay any mind to the peanut gallery. Trends come and go. It's your inner beauty and health that matter. Also how you feel. Keep doing your thing and do you.
Never worry about the world around you I’m sure your beautiful just how you are. People who are willing to point out how your not good enough tend to be the worse people who have no confidence and just projects there issues onto others. I decided I’m going to be the best me and ignore the others thoughts on me. Because my idea of beauty is never everyone else’s.
Love the summary :) keep lifting!
@@madiCOB ♥
I have the exact same problem, I feel you!
Me looking at mirror when I am sad: I am ugly VS Me looking at mirror when I am happy: I am such a catch
If you feel good about yourself inside the outside will be the same even if you wear old shirt, pijiamas pants and messy hair.
SO TRUE!!! Mindset is everything! Its actually not what you look like at all!
Trueeee!!!!!
Totally agree! I have the same feelings, some days I feel I look good, others I would plan multiple surgeries.
So true!!!
👏🏼👏🏼💕💕♥️♥️♥️
I've had breast implants since I was 18 I'm now 39 (almost 40). Also
Lipo suction and a tummy tuck and a lot of less invasive procedures.
It definitely made me feel 1000% more confident.
Looking back the first thing I should have done was started therapy. No matter what I improve on my body, it's never enough,I always find something else. If you're unhappy with your body I suggest counseling before under going any plastic surgery. You may very well find out your body is perfect the way it is it's you thought process that needs some improvement 🙂
YES!!! THIS!!! Your body doesnt need to change, you're perfectly epic as you are! Its a mindset shift and breaking free of the 'beauty' standards that needs to happen!
Yess!! Exactly!!😃 I had a friend who was so insecure about her small breast that she got a boob job, a few years later I heard her say that she is so much more confident since and that it was the best choice ever.. but it’s all fake, if you truly look at her, you still see the insecure women she was, she just hides it better and has a big mouth now and looks a lot for attention and confirmation. And if she got breast implant illness and had to remove them, she’d lose all that so called confidence in a blink😅 it’s really sad..
What were the less invasive procedures? I’m just curious. I love that you’re open and honest about it! 💕
I've had implants the same amount of time!! I agree 💯. I'd love to sleep on my belly easily lol.
@@eveningstar8581 probably things like fillers or botox I'd assume 🤔
I’ve had my breasts done 4 times. Took me many years to realize, giant boobs will NOT fix the insecurities I have internally. But now it’s too late. I CANNOT go back down without full reconstructive surgery. I only WISH I had someone to tell me I’d regret it.
The dark hair makes your eyes look flawless 😍😍😍
ahhh thank you! x
@@stephanielange what’s your new hair color! You look incredible
The sad thing is that these women looked so beautiful before surgery, and they get pressured to change themselves into a barbie doll. 😔
so depressing isnt it! something's gotta change
@@stephanielange yeah it can't go on like this forever
I find it so weird that all the quirks and uniqueness that makes people special gets eradicated and everyone starts looking the same.
Beauty isn’t about having a pretty face. It is about having a pretty mind, a pretty heart and most importantly, a beautiful soul !
Say it louder for the women in the back!! 👏💯❤️
Say it louder, but without the stuff about the "heart" and the soul.
@@admaanhason7410 What’s wrong with that?
@@ES11777 oh, nothing really. It's just weird to see comments about what should be the most important thing for you - mixed with things that takes faith and belief in the spiritual to make sense.
What is most important is indeed what is inside your head and to be a good person. However, then just please say that, don't bring your faith into it.
@@admaanhason7410 wtf
I've always had a big butt and fat thighs, was bullied all the way through school. Now the girls who bullied me so much are doing these things to get a big butt. Mens beauty standards haven't changed all that much but womens keep changing every 10 years and we can never be good enough 🤦🏽♀️
Whoa great point.
Your eyes just pop out so beautifully with darker hair!💗👌
aw thank you! im loving being brunette again! x
Agreed! It’s such a rich brown as well
These social "beauty" standards are getting out of control. I'm tired of seeing everyone look the same 😞 not only do these young ladies have the same body type, but they always dress in a way to show off that hourglass figure. The crop tops, the low cleavage, biker shorts or skin tight jumpsuits.
Sadly I'm not one to love my body but not because of these "influencers". My insecurities come from within my self and it's something I'm trying to work on everyday because I have a daughter and I want her to grow up confident in who she is and not have to worry about what she looks like. Not only her but my son as well. I know one day he'll fall in love and I don't want him to fall into the mindset of these body types being the best. My babies are still little so who knows what the "beauty trend" will be when they're teens, but I hope we can love ourselves enough to not try and fit in with everyone else's expectations :)
Thank you for making these videos to keep reminding us that self love doesn't mean changing what we look like to fit in with society 💛
This! Beauty is in diversity and it’s so sad to see all these beautiful women forming into the same model for society or men 🤦🏽♀️
You're right, heaps of young women/teenage girls look the same. Today I saw a girl dressed in a long skirt with boots, with long red hair, she looked so exotic I didn't want to stop looking at her. And I'm straight. It's honestly rare to see something that different.
Well you should keep your children away from social medias and you should talk to them about what they do on the Internet and why it isn't necessary to do things the same way as everybody else.
@@christinashuker6202 I miss that style of dressing. I still dress in my long flowy skirts and dresses too. 😊❤
But now the trend is skin tight clothing. Now, less clothing is considered "more."
If by God's grace I have babies I would never let them near social media
Dark hair suits you so well. Excited for this video!
I have an ED and I cannot explain how much these videos have helped me to start accepting myself.. I'm not there yet, working on it
Not only surgeries won't promise feeling good about yourself, losing weight and becoming more active are no solutions either. We are only happy with ourselves if we appreciate the way we are, how we look and what we are capable of. Even appreciating imperfections, it's hard but mental health is not just looking good. Maintaining/buildiung a healthy and strong body comes after; or can be part of it.
I understand your point and it's a beautiful one but I have to disagree here.. Being active is crucial to your mental health it doesn't come after. Working out is not just to look "good" (whatever the individual deems to be good), it releases endorphins that make you more positive, exercise also works on your vital organs like heart and lungs. All bodies are beautiful because they are unique to each individual! So even when we work out we all have different shapes and sizes and they should all be appreciated but it doesn't change the fact that exercise is vital for both mental and physical health!
after a stressful day this is exactly what i need
Time to relax beautiful one! Have a hot bath if you have one! x
@@stephanielange omg ilysm
I’m 33 and I stopped talking negative about my body because I don’t want my 2.5 year old daughter and her 6 month old sister to have negative body image because of me.
My mom was a wonderful person, but unfortunately she was so body negative about herself it made me have an unhealthy relationship with food and my body. I’m working through it and doing better for my girls.
My dad had a habit of saying Are you eating AGAIN? Which always made me feel the need to hide when I eat, I’ve since had the chat with him to NOT say it to his grand daughters and why. He thankfully understands and is doing better
Little things like no comments about what/when/how much they’re eating in a negative way.
I've had this experience with my mum, too. I'm 19 and still live at home, but my mum has put on a bit of weight over the years during middle-age, and hearing "I look so fat!" every second day does take its toll, and ever since I was a little girl she would do that, even before she had put on any weight. When I reached puberty I used to cover up my developing body with baggy clothes as one does look quite awkward during those years, and I hadn't been educated enough about such things so I felt "fat and ugly" for quite some time.
Unfortunately when she was a child and teenager her own mum would often criticise her eating habits, and comment on her weight and her looks. Growing up as a young girl in that sort of environment definitely breeds vanity.
This is so important. My Mom would (still does) always say after a meal that she looks 6 months pregnant, and also complain about fat here or there. I’m slightly taller than her, not a lot, just a couple of inches or so, and there have been several times where I’ve been bigger and substantially heavier than her, she’s very naturally petite. She would still call herself fat but be adamant that I wasn’t, and the extra 2 stone (about 28 lbs I think?) was down to my extra height. In reality, both of us were below average size, but even now I’m very self conscious of being bloated or anything because of the looking-pregnant comments she used to make. Then there was also the “wish I had bigger boobs” comments, and mine have always been smaller, so that’s another thing that plays on my mind even today. I know she had no ill intentions, but hearing it all the time still got to me anyway.
@@Kikua1612 I relate to this a lot :/ A lot of mothers seriously don't realise how damaging their attitude towards themselves can be towards their daughters. Ever since I can remember, my mum would throw a big fit for both me and my sister to see when she was putting together an outfit for the day and felt she "looked fat" in everything she put on.
You're a great mum ♥️
Same. My mum is skinny, normal weight for her, and I grew up with her constantly saying how she felt so fat and how she always needed to loose weight. I am teaching my daughter she is beautiful and being healthy and loving each other is all that matters
People also forget about the after surgery depression, that can potentially trigger many psychological problems, which in the end really aren't gonna make you feel better about yourself. A lot of this "i'm happy with my surgery" behavior on insta is very often a facade trying hard to hide the fact that they might not be so happy about it after all. (not saying i'm against plastic surgery, but many people really don't know what ahead of them and how high the price really is)
ugh for real. i'm 100% sure that if i had any surgery i would be thinking "great, they just think i'm pretty because i had surgery" and i would feel like i was deceiving people if i didn't tell them about it.. my self-esteem issues would definitely get worse, i just know that. i really wish people went to therapy before making these decisions :/
I love your user name 😂 x
This is so so true i had plastic surgery just a boob job to look like my pre kids look and after wards all i did was focus on what i wanted next when before hand i was attiment thats all i wanted
Exxactlyyyyyy
I am a teen boy and these things really influence the beauty standards and it disgusts me-! no offence to them tho* But girls ur pretty! you don't need to be them to be called pretty!- Have limited social media time!
You're so wise for being a teen! I wish I had your wisdom when I was younger! x
Tysm ur also very pretty have a nice day ❤
ur so sweett!
I'm soooo over society's obsession with asses tbh. I've unfollowed so many people from Insta because of this.
Just obsession with their bodies in general. I can't follow these IG influencers because we have nothing in common
Don’t risk your life to try fit the ‘Beauty Standards’. Create your own Beauty Standards!!!!
WOOOO!
AHHHH LOVE YOU STEPH
This channel should be a mandatory watch for all young teens trying to grow into their bodies. We need to teach self love and acceptance from an early age, so that our children don't grow up heavily influenced by people who aren't comfortable enough in their own skin to play a healthy role model to anyone. It's terrifying to see the power these influencers have, when they're allowing their own personal demons and self esteem issues to affect children and young adults.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 well said, if it can get to me a 22 year old. I cant imagine kids online growing up thinking THIS is what they need to look like. Really damaging mentally.
I love how your content has shifted to talk about the REAL epidemic in society right now. The obsession with obtaining unrealistic beauty standards regardless of putting their lives on the line just to achieve perfection. Waste of energy hating your true self AND money. You’re doing gods work Stephanie!!!! Keep spreading awareness on this we need more people like this!!! 👏🏾🙌🏾
But imagine literally DYING for followers 😩😩😩
Its actually heartbreaking though isnt it!
Yeah, can’t believe that people do this to them selves.
Followers that don't give two shits about you either. 🤣
Since when did looking like a porn star become the ultimate goal? We call it IG body but everything from proportions to how those people dress is 100% porn star. When did that become the pinnacle of beauty? It was always accepted in the past that the PS look was an almost cartoonish exaggeration that was almost comical in appearance. And I can't understand the motivation of woman who say they are strong, independent, boss babes yet are trying to look like a cartoon version of the feminine ideal and full blown porn stars which is 100% based on the sexual gratification of men. To base your health, self esteem, and concept of beauty on a standard that is in essence an objectification of your body is mine blowing. Porn stars are dehumanized tools for men to get off to... why would anyone want to mimic that aesthetic? Wanting to mimic the appearance of someone who is seen as a plaything and SERVANT to another's sexual whims isn't boss babe vibes or #goals.
Women have so much more to offer the world than just their bodies. When you risk your life to improve your figure, you risk erasing your ability to do good and spread goodness in this world.
I love that you mentioned breast implant illness! This needs to be spread more, would you consider doing an entire video on that subject?
Totally agree 😍 a lot of girls are looking all the same. Coming back to Australia after being away for 7 years was shocking to see so many girls copy and pasted to just follow a trend. And this trend will eventually go out of fashion!
It’s so ironic because I literally got made fun of in junior high for having a big bum. I was so embarrassed that I tried to hide it all throughout my teen years. Now it’s trendy...?!? like when are Certain body types going to stop being a trend!?
I have a weird body like I have thick thighs, skinny lower legs, thick arms, and a round big belly and I have chubby cheeks and when I see influencers and celebs with these beautiful bodies I always wonder why I don't have them honestly there are days when I feel like this and then other days I don't even care but believe it or not I was skinny as a child very very dangerously skinny then people kept telling me to eat and eventually I did then I gained weight as i started my teenage years and got absolutely bullied for eating too much and for being “too fat” and to eat less and that's when I realized that you will never make everyone happy there will always be those who judge but of course I'll always have my insecurities lol now I don't hate my body but I don't necessarily love it it's just the “its the body I have so now I have to deal with it” mindset.
You sound absolutely beautiful to me!
@@stephanielange oh thank you so much! That means a lot coming from you. Have a great rest of your day/night. ❤️
U sound amazing
Yoy sound beautiful to me
So glad you mentioned the stress surgery puts on your body. It's often overlooked. Any surgery has associated risks.
You know the other day I saw on insta a clip of Kim K interview, where she's asked if she and her family have a contribution on unrealistic beauty standarts. And know what she said? She said "absolutely not, we work hard for this". Like who are they freaking kidding?🤮
Can you please do a truth behind the glow up with Kylie???
yes! its on the list to do! x
Everytime I go down to Atlanta I swear there's more and more bodies with a BBL. It wasn't like that 5 years ago even. It's wild. Don't get me started at the airport here.
It is becoming SO popular and common but its SO dangerous!!!!! uuggghhh
So many in Texas too! I think a lot of them are going over the border which can be even more dangerous!
I live in Atlanta and It’s ridiculous here …
I think I saw one in the wild in my city the other day. The proportions just looked SO fake. These other women walking by muttered something about a BBL and I laughed and told them I was glad they said what I was thinking. I have a bigger butt than people expect and it's definitely not the proportions I saw. It just makes me sad for people.
@@jessicaltownshend7691 girl I was just about to comment that I know everyone’s opinion is different on this but I personally don’t think the proportions look right a lot of the time. to me the extreme hourglass figure is ugly. It just looks so off and unnatural, alien like. I don’t know…I’ve seen natural bbls where they round out the butt more and whatever, it’s fine. But the having 0 waist and then the huge but, huge hips and big boobs just looks crazy to me like how is this person being held up straight 😂
Girl you speak truths! ''What is consider beautiful now, may not be consider beautiful in 5 or 10 years time". We need this kind of reality slap.
I'm 39 years old... 40 on November 29th of this year. I've not struggled with the younger generations Instagram pressure (us 80s and 90s babies had our own pressures) but the young girls exposed to today's pressures.... its heart wrenching to think what some of these young impressionable girls think based on today's standards.
THANK YOU for your videos! I'm older than you and have questioned my own self esteem but after watching your vids, I feel more confident. Let's embrace our quirks/ differences. They aren't flaws; these differences make up human.. Thanks Stephanie! Plz keep doing what you're doing. Its making a difference; it has for me. Thanks again!❤
You are such a breath of fresh air and much-needed TRUTH! Thank you for making videos like this! We ladies need these constant reminders that societal beauty standards do NOT dictate our worth.
What’s really crazy is that gym workouts can truly change your body, it takes years to accomplish and takes an almost impossible seeming level of consistency but it is safe, healthy and way more rewarding
I don't understand why so many people say that "woman these days are under so much pressure to look like these influencers". I honestly feel no pressure at all, never felt and my guess is that I probably never will. I'm 30, never changed the color of my hair, never follow FASHION or spend all my money on NEW ARRIVALS clothes, never had gel nails, I make my own cosmetics (face cream, face serum, body butters), never wanted to get my boobs done, never ever wanted to do a BBL, I have eye circles but I'm fine with it..... And all my girlfriends and friends that surround me are the same. Living the best life natural and normal... These girls that are under SOOOOOOOOOO much pressure to look like that are attention seekers, empty inside, no personality whatsoever. It's not pressure, it's a Choice
AGREEEDD. Women are funny. They act as if they will have no problems in life after having surgery.🤣
Omg, shut up. You're so much better than everyone else, god bless you!
YOU LOOK GORGEOUS WITH DARK HAIR.OMG.I WENT DARKER TOO AND I LOVE IT.
You look stunning
Love this kind of videos 😍, they really make me feel better about myself and know that nobody is perfect! By the way, you look remarkable with dark hair 🥰🥰
Thank you so much!! xx
i am actually so happy i never did the nosejob i always wanted as a teenager because now i think my nose is one of the key features of my face that i would not trade in for looking like everyone else. its creepy that all of these influencers look so similar
Super late response, but I nearly lost my life 10 months ago during rhinoplasty. I was in an induced coma for a week, and my natural nose ended up suiting me more. Good luck and keep on loving yourself. Xx
Right I have a bigger nose and I love it. Also I was still able to be successful just fine in life no nose job needed
You're honestly like a beautiful older sister imparting her wisdom when I start feeling insecure about myself! Thank you for opening so many people's eyes to reality and teaching us to be confident ❤️❤️
These 'perfect' bodies are cartoonishly ugly, seriously. Good content, more power to you.
Thank u! As someone with small boobs, tummy scars from lots of life saving surgery as a child and teen, growing up with a stoma bag and having 2 c-sections, now stretch marks galore, and the usual body changes after babies.. I struggle with all this instagram body image shit! Iv contemplated a boob job for a long time but after having surgery i needed then to go and choose to put myself through it for vanity seems so wrong and a bad example to set for my kids, its crazy how some females have completely changed their looks to fit in, i hope this trend passes but i fear it will only get worse unfortunately but thank u for your videos and standing against it 🌟
Aaahh 100% agree with you, I won't follow anyone that has had a BBL, so sick of how extreme people are going to change their looks to feel 'beautiful' it's sad, disappointing, and so dangerous. The idea of having a daughter scares me because of this..
im so happy you are using your channel so beautifully.. the main take away is its okay to be unique. its okay to be different. thats what makes you special
I’M LOOVVVING the message you’re giving 💛
Your channel is so positive and it’s exactly what people in today’s world need!!!
Thanks Stephanie 💞
Just so you know, my little 19-month old girl is going to grow up watching you. I'm thinking she is going to have a bigger bone structure than is desirable for women to have, so she is going to need to see the content you produce. Thanks Stephanie! I just hope they keep the curvy and plus-sized models a big thing, while keeping the very thin models too, since we all need to accept ourselves and see each other's bodies as equal.
I wish someone like you was around when I was growing up! T.T
Your daughter sounds like she’s going to grow up capable and strong 💪 what a woman she will be! 😍❤️
@@stephanielange Thanks girl!
I love that you are doing this series. Body issues have plagued women and young girls forever! You are using your influence for good! Bless you,
Girl. I have had a few different cosmetic surgeries and I'm still not happy with the way I look. I appreciate your videos and you bringing the truth into the light 🖤
Everything you’re saying is so spot on! I think everyone should watch your videos. The Instagram “aesthetic” has gotten out of control.
i can’t wait for all of her videos to get more and more attention and make every insecure woman feel great about themselves, that the “influencers” we see on instagram everyday are just like us in real life. no one really is perfect.
I've been following your channel for years and this content you have been making is honestly just a breath of fresh air. Thank you. This is so needed. I wish everyone could watch these videos
Thank you so much that means a lot to me! ❤️❤️
We back at it again. Thanks Stephanie 😭❤☺
Thank you ❤️ I am so stressed out how I am going to protect and save, my now only four yo daughter, from the sick beauty standards the social media monster has created 😟.
She'll be fine because she has you to look up to! x
I cannot thank you enough for your educational videos!!
Thank you a million times for spreading these messages. So so needed for all women in these times. 🧡
Thanks so much for making these videos. I love to come back to them when I get negative feelings about my own body. You're awesome!
One of my colleagues has a slim-thick body naturally..She works out a lot and despite having a big but and breast, she has slim thighs and a slim waist. I catch myself being jealous of her overall appearance on a regular basis but i keep reminding myself that every bodytype and body is beautiful and interesting in its own way. I think in the end we should celebrate eachothers physical uniqueness rather than evening it out till we all fit the same beauty standard.. Everybody should rock their own bodytype!
I’m Brazilian and I can assure you guys that we have normal bodies with fat, cellulite, stretch marks, hip dips… I honestly don’t understand why this (dangerous and toxic) procedure is called *Brazilian* BL…
Edit: and I’ve also never met a Brazilian that has done this surgery
it’s called that since a brazilian doctor invented the procedure i believe
@@vila777_ maybe… but I’ve never heard of this type of procedure here…
Thank you for videos like this one. A lot of people don't know how dangerous these things are
Such a good message. I knew surgery had risks but had no idea it was so dangerous and potentially fatal!! Thank you for bringing this to our attention. You are doing so much good ❤
Having thoughts about not eating and wasn’t feeling great about myself .. this made me eat and feel better about myself ❤️
Steph I have followed you for years and I love that you are going to these places with your content! When I feel a bit down or my mindset falters a bit on my journey I watch one of these and I feel better
Aw that makes me happy! ❤️
@@stephanielange I’m pleased it does! Your a voice of realness we all need
omg your hair!!! you could fr pull off any color you’re so beautiful
I just love your videos. It's so easy to get sucked into trends and start nit picking at yourself. Watching you really does give that daily reminder to just love and work with what you have. Sending love from up North ☘
Loving the new hair 😍. As someone who’s grown up feeling ‘not attractive enough’, it’s scary and sad to see these unrealistic beauty ideals everywhere. Since having a baby though, I’ve realised it’s time to start accepting me for me. I don’t want her growing up thinking that she needs to change her looks to be beautiful 💖
I'm early! I love these videos they really help me realize that social media isn't real and that famous people are just like us everyday people as well.
Thank you for making these videos, so many young girls are placing themselves at risk simply because this is the world they are coming into. Unlike the older generation that saw the evolution of these bodies, younger girls did not. And this unfortunately is the new “normal”. So gross and I’m glad light is being shine on these issues.
I love this new haircolor on you! Looks stunning ✨
I know this is weird to ask but can u talk about Bright Ocular? It's a surgery where people are changing their eye colour to have bright eyes. It's a dangerous surgery and it's illegal in most countries. But some of us need to realize that having brown eyes, is still beautiful
ahhhh what is this!!!!! our world has gone mad!
@@stephanielange ikr? Crazy. Love your videos btw.
I can’t with that thought because I’ve always thought that brown eyes were so mesmerizing and gorgeous (as someone with green eyes). They have so much depth. Beauty is in diversity ❤️
@@sydneygrace3745 Yup! I have blue eyes but I love the look of brown eyes, especially on men. I guess it really is one of those “grass is greener on the other side” things lol.
Are you fricken serious????? What in the world?? Tell me more, please???
can i just take a moment to say that Stephanie you can pull off both raven and blonde hair color soo flawlessly!💅
Thank you for what you do. It’s important to enlighten women about social media.
Thanks for your videos girl! I live in S Florida. The number of women I know that have undergone the BBL is alarming! One girl I worked with was actually 19 and had it done! SO young! Thank God she & they're ok!
Some of these people don’t even look like the same person! It’s insane! How can these women preach about being accepting and being a strong and confident woman, yet change everything about themselves? When I see all these changes it screams insecurity not confidence. To me a strong, confident, independent woman doesn’t cave to society standards. To me that’s strong… that’s confident… that’s being an independent thinker.. I get wanting to improve ones self but to the drastic measure some of these women take is honestly to much. I digress! Just my opinion…
Lack of self esteem. That's what it all comes down to. A lot of the people in the video were reality stars and people who made a lot of money really fast and really young. Imagine being straight out of high school as an insecure teen and then suddenly being given a boat load of money. They barely have time to start the journey to true self acceptance and love before they are in the surgeon's office. It was the first thing I did when I was 18 and I can't believe it but the surgeon genuinely told me to go away and think about it longer because the things I wanted to change were "barely noticeable" and sounded like BDD. Funnily enough I was diagnosed with BDD at 15. I listened to his advice and never got even fillers, and barely wear makeup. I'm 28 now.
Thank you so much for making this video 🙏🏽 I mean your whole channel is so precious 🙏🏽 This was exactly what I needed to hear today ❤️❤️❤️
You are so welcome!! big love to you!
thanks! for uploading stephanie!!
I NEED your speeches every now and then.. Because beauty standards really get to me😭 I'm having so much trouble with my looks, and that's been going on since I was 5 (really)
These videos make me love myself more ❤️❤️
7:05 this exactly!! This also applies to nose jobs. So many women are going to get the same nose shape. Now when I see women with a nose bump/crooked nose, I think it’s so beautiful and unique. I used to feel like I was forcing myself to like my nose bump, but now I genuinely would never change it. Thank you 💜
Mine is as straight as a ski-jump, but it's _huge_ .
Well, I've always thought so, anyway. 😅
Never thought about having it trimmed into one of those cute little fashionable dolly-type noses, though. This is the nose that my face was built around, & I don't think I'd look quite "right" with anything else.
I have a nose with a bump and never stopped me achieving anything I want in my life.
Keep these videos coming, they are so important!
Girl, you are fantastic and you do great work!!!! I appreciate your message to these young women or just women in general trying to achieve the “perfect” body. I’m a naturally “bottom-heavy” woman. Been this way literally my entire life…even as a little girl, which comes with other problems. People are trying to achieve with a BBL what I have naturally. However, my boobs are small like a B cup and I’ve always wanted breast implants. I never did it because after so much research I’ve realized it wasn’t very safe so I wasn’t willing to risk my life for beauty. It’s gotten a lot safer now; however, it’s still not 100% safe. My body could still reject the foreign objects and I can become very sick. The risk is just not worth the reward. These girls, ladies, women, etc. need to choose their lives over vanity. Again, thanks for your great work!!!

I'm so glad you started this series. I've watched them all to remind myself - a 37 year old grown up - that Instagram isn't reaaaaaaaal. Imagine what younger girls must feel like. They know of the existance of photoshop and retouching, but they don't know KNOW. If you get what I mean... Sometimes even I forget that pictures are edited to oblivion. Thank you for your efforts, Stephanie!
Thank u for making these videos please never stop making them 😢😢😢😢❤️❤️
I have been watching your videos for a long time now and I want to THANK you so much for using your platform to help people love themselves ❤❤❤❤❤ thank you !!!! We need more people like you
One thing I really really really don’t understand is I had a necessary surgery and they didn’t want to put me under anaesthesia because there are SO many risks involved but for bigger boobs or bottom doctors put them under anaesthetic like it’s nothing 🤔
Great video♥️
Stephanie, you look amazing today ❤️ your hair and eyeshadow suit well!
Thank you so much!! x
The message you are giving here is sooooo important. Thank you for that ❤️🥰
Love your channel Stephanie you are talking about the reality behind the unrealistic beauty standards and social media keep up the good work 🙌🏽😍
I watched a video on RUclips this morning from Khadija Mbowe, called "The Reign of the Slim-Thick Influencer". I think you'd really enjoy it. Khadija talks about BBLs in her video too.
Another day another confidence boost. Love you and your videos Stephanie I honestly don't know what I'd do with you xxx
Please keep these videos going. You are doing something so important
The dark hair looks so good ON you!!
what people don’t realize is that there are literally body trends throughout the decades. different body types go in and out of style. you’re never going to make everyone happy, and beauty comes in so many forms. why look the same as everyone else when you can embrace your uniqueness?
This! I love studying the different body types through out history. My fav was the Ancient World’s (Greece) 🌍
You know what’s scary, how, like fashion, body shapes and sizes are coming in and out of trend much more faster. There are some celebrities and influencers already getting their BBLs removed. Are BBLs becoming “out-of-fashion”? The world scares me, but it scares me even more with social media and the digital world.
You are not alone the world is scary. Great observation of the trend of the bbl getting out of trend its now november 2022 and it sure isnt trendy no more.
Thank you for sharing this, Stephanie. Young girls need to see videos like this
Omg I have been waiting for this video to come thank you!!!❤️
