Why You Should Look Your Best Every Day : Instantly Change Your Life!

- ✨Hello ladies! ✨
In todays video I am going to share with you the importance of looking your best every single day. As I will get into in the video, I want you to keep in mind this is not me advocating for full beat and glammed to the nines every day. I just want you to look the best that you can every day. As someone who spent the past year deep in grief after the loss of my mother, I can attest to the fact that some days the BEST you can do is just get a shower. And thats what we want to focus on. Are we trying to do the best that we can? Often times, we aren't.
So lets talk about why that is..
There can be several reasons why you are no longer investing in your appearance or no longer have an interest in looking your best. And if it feels GOOD to no longer be doing those things, then I invite you to continue doing what feels good for you. However, if that is not the case..its important we get to the bottom of what this is stemming from before we can really expect that we are going to be able to really do anything about it long term.
For me, getting back to this part of myself has improved my life in SO MANY ways and I hope that if you take this journey as well that it can do exactly the same for you.
Love you angels!
Whit xoxo

EDIT: I filmed this yesterday and the live stream is TONIGHT Feb. 20! xoxox
Thank you for this. I lost my mom 2 years ago and then my oldest daughter moved out and my youngest daughter just moved out for college so now I'm so dam depressed 😔 I can't do anything. I used to always take care of myself but everything u said u was doing I am there now
Girl, I LOVE U! I absolutely LOVE your content and omg I agree with you. Now I’m a healthcare worker and people ask me allllll the time.. why do you wear makeup and hair every day only to wear a N95 , goggles and shield? Ugh duh bc I ENJOY IT and look forward to it EVERY MORNING! Love ya girl😘 oh and I guess that’s why I’m so interested in women of the 50’s and how they took pride in how they presented themselves and the men too. They looked so beautiful!
I am your target market with this video. I fell into a pit of “why bother” which is sad.
Ya ever notice how if your hair is unkempt people think you’re depressed or homeless, but when you spend the same amount of time, attention, and money on your face you’re considered vain. Hmmm. 🧐🤔 Really? 🤷🏻♀️🙃
My neighbour, who is 81 and has known me since I was born, always told me (and tells me): always dress like you're about to meet the love of your life
Love this. 💕 what a wise neighbor!
@@bonjourerin1 A little bit of self love each day makes a HUGE difference in your whole day !
Yes 🙌
true! you never know where youll meet your future husband!
@@missabriloneil I like that
"you have plenty of time, you just aren't choosing to prioritize yourself" that hit me man. This video is gold.
SAME! 😍
Maybe she has plenty of time, can't speak for everyone
@@missNCW Take the road jack!
Wow this is so true..
Exactly. I still get up at 5 just to workout, do my hair and make up every day before i go to about my day.
Today I woke up and it was almost noon. Wearing the leggings and tee shirt I have maybe been wearing all week. I literally can’t remember what day it was when I took my last shower, but it might have been last weekend. The only feelings I can identify anymore are numbness or rage. I can’t begin to tell you how much I needed to hear what you had to say. And now I am going to put this damn phone down and go get clean in a nice hot shower. What’s that saying, about the longest journey beginning with a single step? On Wednesday it will be 5 years since I lost my mom, and she was an amazing woman of singular courage. I know it would make her sad, seeing me wallowing like this. Time to dust myself off and get moving again. Thank you.
👍💕🙏🏼
I know how you feel I lost my mom in NOV I Lost my job last March thanks COVID and now after my mammogram and ultrasound I need a biopsy on the 25 so needless to say I’ve been better but I did shower today which is good for me I put on a little makeup not much and I do feel better I have tons and tons of makeup I need to get back into so here’s hoping and praying everything works out for all of us and we get back to our old self
Let us know how your journey goes!!
I also struggled after family deaths like you have. You are right. They would want more for you than this.
Yes, girl. Yes. You deserve to love yourself and invest in yourself again. As you say, your mom would want that for you. I lost my mom a couple of years ago, too, so sending you love and positive vibes of healing!
"I don't want my best dressed day in the casket."
ooooooh girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
😂🤣😂
This definitely is a powerful statement.
Facts!
WOW!!
I’ve always been the girl that gets dressed and puts makeup on and people have shamed me for it my whole life. It used to get to me but at 52 I just revel in the fact that my lips are red in the grocery store. LOL!!!!
Same. And I'm 25.
Love the video
Same 41, just always needed to get "my face on" :) which in my mind is shower if needed, clothes, makeup (even if it's concealer, mascara and gloss) , and at least combed my hair. I don't feel good or comfortable if I don't have "my face on"
I see nothing wrong with that! I met a lady at the grocery store simply because she was dressed nice, had makeup on, curled hair, and wearing heels. I was so impressed by her that I went and started a conversation. From that moment on, I've wanted to be her friend. It may sound shallow, but it's not. How we represent ourselves says a lot. I just recently found her on Facebook through mutual friends, and I was so excited. Lol!
@Sea Swan....your comment is so very relatable, it took a very long time, but I no longer care what people think of me and my daily beauty routine....I feel naked without my makeup, and that is no one's business but mine! Shine on ✨
My grandmother was one of those old fashioned women who never left the house without being “done up”. I didnt understand it at the time, but I do now.
I remember my beloved Grandmother with cancer,sweating and exhausted yet she made sure her linen trousers weren’t creased at the back when going to supermarket aaah old school elegance
My gramma always wore lipstick 💄 even to bed lol. I sure do miss her. ❤️
I literally put on makeup everyday. Im a first time mom and I didn't want to be that mom that "lets themselves go" like I always heard. But its also always nice to have my husband come home and see a well put together wife. I genuinely love makeup and always wore it so Its not something I started when I became a mom, but just because im a mom doesnt mean I should stop focusing on my self.
I absolutely agree!!! Focusing on ourselves benefits all the other people and areas of our lives that are important to us.
God bless you both!
I have a lot of females in my life who are moms (I’m not) and their kids are in college now and they still don’t have time to get ready. It does seem like a lifestyle choice. And it’s got to the point where their energy is off kilter - the pandemic doesn’t help. Even pre-pandemic just getting out and dressed for the sake of a party or “to be seen” had some positive affect on them. I really had to take some space away and re-assess my own relationships with how I want to show up - am I a friend or their therapist?!
I'm one of the moms who let herself go... My entire existence was all about my kids. I had a plan... I figured I could get myself back together when they grew up... I was almost there then had 3 more babies... I regret not taking time for me during those years.
Putting on make up doesn’t mean that you take care of yourself. Looking after your skin and what you eat is
Thanks i needed this ❤️
I’ve always lived with this philosophy of presenting your best self every day. I have gotten so many comments about how I always dress up. Mostly it’s a compliment but some people think it’s ridiculous to always be done up. What bothers me about people is that they save their nicest clothes for a “special occasion”. To me, everyday is a special occasion. We are not promised tomorrow.
I think it’s always a compliment when my kids ask me “Mom, are you going out?” when I’m just doing chores all day. 😊
I was JUST saying to my mom last week about how all these women haven't put any effort into themselves since covid... And I was saying how they literally get ready for everyone else but themselves. It was interesting to me. Since covid / lockdowns began, I'm the only one in my circle of friends that still gets ready and does my makeup/ hair every day. I constantly hear others saying what's the point and it makes me a little sad. Do it for you. You'd be surprised how it makes you feel.
YES YES YES. Same with exercising- people are using "the pandemic" as an excuse to not get ready, to not do their skincare, to not go for a run, but it really just comes down to their own internal problems with their self worth.
Same here. It’s kind of heartbreaking.
Agreed. I’ve worked from home for 8 years- well before covid.
My sister would stop by randomly and would always be surprised that I was so done up…. She always asked “where did you go today?” And I always answered - no where.
She was surprise did actually get dressed, do hair and makeup when no one would see me. I always felt better putting time into myself
I get ready also, and if i saw people they ask why I had makeup on …. And why I was dressed…. They say “why, no one is going to see you!” And my response was “me! I’m gonna see me, and I’m the most important person!”
@@marigarcia9046 factsss i love that. Or when they ask "who you tryna impress" ummm myself?
"You are valuable and important, even when nobody's watching." Self-love quote of this generation & time, baby.
Sitting at home not caring and not getting ready feels relaxing at first but after a while you start feeling like a bum and then you don’t feel good about yourself
I think we just have to find a happy medium, see what works what makes us feel happy etc. I think there has to be a balance, have your days of no makeup and sweats and relax but then get all ready and done up, that also feels great after a couple days of not wearing anything 🤷🏻♀️
When I wear lipstick and put on eyebrows and dress in my fancy boots instead of no makeup and sneakers, random people talk to me and start conversations and I even find myself being so friendly and laughing. Today, a random girl just smiled at me and said hi. And I loved that! As an introvert, dressing up really helps me get the social interaction that I didn’t know I liked and needed ! It’s fun!
I wear the same damn scrubs every day and so wearing cute earrings and my best makeup makes me feel good. I get comments from co workers like “why bother when we just get makeup on the mask” and “this job is too depressing to make the effort” and it used to affect me. Hearing this message from you fans the flames for me to keep looking my best for my patients and for ME 💜
As a nurse, I’ve found that I’m more hardworking and happier when I do even a little bit. Plus, if all anyone is gonna see are my eyes and hair- why wouldnt I focus on them?!
Thanks for all that you do
I know I am late to the party but just saw this video and I so am in agreement with you wearing a scrub uniform the majority of my week. So I try to put cute earrings on and make myself look fresh and pleasant for work as well.
Scrubs can be cute, too! I invested in some high quality flattering pairs and I do my makeup daily! I’m nervous about false lashes staying on for 12 hours though. 😬
@@christineguerrero5678 I know, right! I've contemplated lashes but always hesitate, until I see a fellow nurse rocking them! It can be done, we just have to practice and keep a tube of mascara in our purse for backup.
I needed to hear this. For the past 3 years I’ve been depressed and basically have lived in yoga pants and a hoodie. Tomorrow morning starts with the small steps of wearing jeans and putting on some light makeup.
You are blessed dear
I’m so proud of you ❤️
You are so loved by God 😊
Same Kellie. Same.
Since quarantine, I have literally gotten stared down for dressing and wearing makeup (from the nose up 😁). Here’s the crazy thing about it - some men automatically assume that I’m looking my best for their attention - but no, I’m looking my best because it makes ME feel better.
I used to be big with jewelry (fake) after getting into makeup I practically ignored it. Until this year when makeup went under mask I express myself with rings watches again😹😂
I do it for me also. If I look good- I feel good.
I have always done it for me too, the side effect aren’t bad either 😁, but it was never to get attention from men.
You’ve OPENED MY EYES to me seeing I’ve fallen back into a depressive period. I wear gym clothes everywhere! I think it’s been triggered by a 34lb weight gain and from people trying to shame me for taking care of myself any trying to look good for me when I was at a healthier weight. I’m at a point where I DREAD going into the grocery store for 1 thing bc I don’t feel good about myself.
This video gave me hope. I needed this therapy session, thank you! 💋
I am so glad I could help in any way :)
I was in your situation 5 years ago, after my second child I went from 130 lb to 180 lb for 2 straight years I felt the most unhealthy and unhappy. Until one day I decided to make a difference. Once you are ready to make a difference on how you feel you will. I'm rooting for you. Xoxo
@@glowbyglo THANK YOU 🙏🏻😭😭 God bless ❤️ I’m rooting for you too ❤️
Same girl... SAME! 🤦🏻♀️🙈
GOUSH I FEEL THE SAME WAY , I REMEMBER GETTING DRESSED TO THE NINES TO GO TO A AA MEETING, AND THE WOMEN WOULD SAY, YOU DON'T NEED TO GO TO A AA MEETING LIKE A FASHION MODEL, WITH COVID IT REALLY TOOK A LOT OUT OF PEOPLE'S MENTAL HEALTH . 2015 I HUSBAND AND HIS SON THAT I HELPED RAISED, WERE IN A CAR ACCIDENT, FATHER AND SON WERE BOTH LEAVING A JOB SITE AND A SEMI DRIVER HIT THEIR CAR . WE HAD TO PULL LIFE SUPPORT ON HIS 22YEAR OLD SON, AND THE FATHER LIVED. THE FATHER NOW HAS SEVERE HEAD TRAUMA. AND THAT IS WERE I REALLY WENT DOWN INTO THE DARKEST OF DEPRESSION. NOW WITH NO AA MEETINGS. AND COVID IT REALLY TOOK A TOLL ON ME. I HAVE NOT STARTED TO DRINK, BUT IN THE LAST 2YEARS I REALLY GOT ADDICTED TO WATCHING TJMAXX AND MARSHALL RUclipsRS, AND WOULD BUY BAGS AND BAGS OF MAKEUP; BUT WOULD NEVER WEAR IT. WHICH BROUGHT ON A HUGE SHOPPING ADDICTION. BUT YOU'RE MESSAGE WAS BEYOND TRUTH TELLING. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO. 🤗💚
“What are you saving your most loved things for? Get out of that mindset!” Loved that! You killed it girl. Great pep talk! 👍🏻❤️
I used to hoard things like that 🤣
It really is a privilege to have the willingness to take care of one's self. I had depression for so long that it became normal to start skipping brushing my teeth or not combing out the knots in my curly hair, and I appeared as if I lived out in the elements.
People bypass the obvious suffering and self disrespect, or just live, let live, but it is a sign of something very wrong
It is not vanity to have and maintain dignity for one's self
And privilege to actually care about one's self is gratitude in action of taking care of one's self
Thank you for keeping it truthful!
Girl, I have been LOOOVING this unapologetic content lately!
P.S. Getting myself dolled up and dressed up in quarantine has been the thing keeping me sane!
YES!!!!!! It works wonders in times like these
Me too! Xxxx
Thank you for posting this video it lifted me up
The best thing that I’ve ever done for myself is realize not only the value of time, but, more importantly the value of *my* time and what I spend it on.
I’ve had people try to scare me out of wearing makeup and literally told me straight up I look ugly with it. Tried to paint me as this evil, insecure, deceiving woman. Never understood why me wearing makeup boiled their blood so much
Because you putting effort into something reminds them that they are not. So they try to drag you to their level. Unfortunately people like that exist.
Who ARE these people?! Oh my goodness why would people do that? They dont love you. Taking care of yourself both mentally and physically is very important! It in,y takes a few minutes a day and it makes a huge difference in how you feel.
This habit extends to your environment as well! I feel better when the laundry is put away, the kitchen and dining room floors are clean, kids toys put away. My house is put together, so am I. Love this content, Whitney!
I rarely leave my home, but I try to do my makeup everyday. Sometimes it’s a full beat, sometimes just brows and a lipstick! I live by myself with my cat, so I do it for me and only me! 💕
Love this!!! I started with my nails... my Granny said to me when I was little that a lady’s nails are always done (she was born in Scotland in the early 1900’s) it stuck with me and I feel better when I do that!! Thank you❤️❤️
Yall our grannys knew what was up! The older I get the more I realize how similar to my granny I became. She was so feminine and put together. She got her nails and hair done, she wore her little kitten heels and perfume and jewelry even just around the house. She had a loving husband, a beautiful home, she was an amazing cook, she had friends everywhere she went.Just such a cool lady! SIDENOTE: She is still alive..I dunno why I said "was" just now..maybe because I am recalling memories. of her hahah
Nails are cute
I always at least put eyeliner and mascara every day! Even if I’m just running to the store. With an autoimmune disorder I may not do anything elaborate with my hair and face but at least a neat bun and a touch.
You are such a queen!!!!!!
Same here. I have had really bad fatigue for the past 8 years, but still always make an effort before I leave the house.
This week I wore a blazer because all my sweaters were dirty. Every single soul at work: " Wow, what did you dressed up for?"
I need to start doing my makeup again. I’ve been slacking. Half way through the video I put eyeliner and mascara on.
This is so true. I never understood why people are so bothered by the fact that you choose to do your makeup and present yourself in a certain way.
I love this. After my grandparents passed almost 5 years ago. I let myself go to the max 😕 My grandma was a beautiful woman. She literally would not go a DAY without putting herself together. Dressed beautifully from head to to toe, hair on point, and smelling good. I know right now she is probably in heaven upset with me but it’s the depression for me 😔 I want to start taking care of myself NOW. I think I’m ready
I love makeup and looking good, even if it's just for myself. During the whole pandemic lock down, I did my makeup every day, even if I didn't go anywhere. It felt good to do it all - makeup, hair, etc. I take pride in my appearance even if no one is watching. Everyone should take care of themselves - you're worth it!!!!
GURL that part about not knowing/wanting to know how to dress/take care of, punishing your body (when I feel like it's "betrayed" me) 1000% xoxo ♡
"You are valuable and important even when no one is watching."
It’s really hard to focus on yourself when you have children. The first year with a baby being the hardest. And when you have 2 other children under 10 who also need your attention makes it even harder. I don’t always get dressed up and put makeup on. But I always shower everyday. Sometimes just putting on some mascara and a pair of earrings will make all the difference.
Yes! I know exactly how you feel but a little can go a long way with just some earrings and a little eye enhancement
I’m 41 and just embarking on my Glow-up journey. I’ve been a tomboy all of my life but I’m ready to put more effort. I must be honest, the hair, nails, makeup sounds so exhausting and time consuming but I’m ready to learn from you beauties and find what works for me.
Same!
As a 42 year single old woman who’s ALWAYS on the go, I understand that time wise it might seem daunting, but it’s truly not. It takes me about 30 minutes… 30 minutes out of a 24 hr day, to get ready. Hair, makeup, clothes.. everything. You CAN get it done and out the door in a reasonable time once you get the routine down. Just relax, have fun, and make that time for YOU. I also encourage you to look into podcasts and videos that help you feel good and help you learn how to do the things you want to do for yourself. Good luck and enjoy.
I need to do this. I struggle with sitting around like i gotta wake up and move, if i sit and have coffee and watch RUclips for 2 hours, I'm less likely to be productive. I love the messages you're sending out. I appreciate them.
This is so damn needed 💕 I feel like for the longest time I've been trying to make myself more 'low maintenance' i.e. washing my hair less, not wearing makeup, and like you said, wearing gym clothes!!
I feel like I was doing this under the premise of being more low maintenance to save time? Feel more chill? But actually, it's removing a whole aspect of self care, and I KNOW that I feel better and more confident with my makeup done, hair nice and even just jeans and a nice shirt on.
What you said about only dressing up for a certain audience really hits home - why is it I'll only get myself together for a night out, or if I'm gonna see someone I'm interested in? I should look my best because it makes ME feel better!!
Love your message that you're putting out, thank you ❤❤
I have always believed that looking my best is a sign of respect... for others and myself. Thank you for this video
I always get ready every day, even if I am just sitting around the house. I have found that it motivates me and puts me in a better place emotionally.
Love this vid. Both my mother and my son are considered “over-dressers” and they both feel fantastic about it. I’m beginning to get on the bandwagon and I’m loving the way I feel too! Thanks for your candor. Haters really are gonna hate, tho!
This video speaks huge truths to me! After a year & half of working from home, going days without brushing my hair, weeks of not “getting ready”, gaining tons of weight- I know exactly what you are trying to prove here. Thank you for this video!
Thank u so much! I buy nice cloths and makeup that I haven’t wore in 3-4 years because I leave it for special occasions but those occasions never come because I always am home w no absolutely friends 🥺
You bought those things for you. You should wear them for you! Go watch Christie Ressels Chanel amd IG amd podcast. She is so inspiring to make yiu see why it’s so important to wear your things for you amd what it does for our mentality.
Yes. And you will start attracting the people best for you, you being the most confident you.
Dress up go to lunch or dinner..see a movie..check out museums…look up your community events, take yourself out…meet ppl
I had to that, get out & meet ppl..I met an awesome lady from Alaska, we’re friends now..we meet for lunch and shoot one another text messages here and there
@@cassben8608 thank you❤️ with social anxiety it’s so hard 😭but ok it’s time to push harder and just go out there💕
@@pappyone6062 omg I will thank u so much 🙏💕
This is the day that the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it. This video was just amazing.
I can appreciate your perspective. The main reason I personally don't wear makeup a lot and didn't actually start learning makeup until I turned 40 is because my passion and interests revolve around the gym. So I wear gym clothes all day because I train 4-5 times a week teach classes 2xs a week and wearing makeup for the gym never made sense to me. Plus I love it. But I do make sure my gym clothes are quality and custom to my body. But I'm huge into skin care and will do my morning and night routine consistently. I just provide this as an example so people don't get lost in the message and think the takeaway is that you shouldn't be in gym clothes all day. But like people say they're are levels to this.
Ah, great comment!
There is no one way to show self-care.
I've been binge watching hoarders and it makes me want to throw everything away hahaha
Omg!!! Same!!! 🤣
Oh my goodness so have I been watching hoarders, and feel the same way.
THANK YOU FOR VIDEOS LIKE THIS. I take your advice so seriously. You’re so inspiring❤️
Thank you so much darlin!!!
Whitney, I cried when I listened to this one. I just wanted you to know that someone out there REALLY needed to hear this. Thank you 🙏🏼💕
‘Living the High Maintenance Lifestyle’ a New York Times bestseller by author Whitney Hedrick.
Please write a book 🙏🏼 I really see this in your future xx
Me watching this in sweatpants and greasy hair: yeeees queen 👑😍😄
Hahahah! Amazing!
Or in the lockdown, and can't remember when you brushed your teeth last.
Wow! I’m three years late seeing this video, but it is so powerful! The reason I searched for this topic is what I heard in prayer. I’m addressing my depression and loving myself in private because what we do in private affects how we are in public. A Daily routine is everything to our success. Thank you so very much for sharing❤
How I look on the outside is a direct reflection of how I’m feeling on the inside.
This is where I’m at in life all or nothing and I really need to get out of that!!!!
It’s easier than we think. Just small steps that build on each other :)
I have a really hard time finding the motivation to get myself “put together” every day because I can go a few days without leaving the house or interacting with another human being. I work from home and live on my own so it seems like a waste of energy. Yet at the same time when I do put myself together, I do feel better.
I'm in the exact same situation as you. Work from home, live alone, barely go anywhere. My BF does come and visit but im not even motivated to look nice for him. This video came at the right time.
Oh my goodness you told my story! I have not put on my makeup or gotten dressed up since my son passed 2 yrs ago but not only that. I just let myself go, gained weight and I finally lost interest in looking for a partner in life. So many things you talked about rang true for me. So glad to hear I'm not the only one. Thank you for your beautiful words.
Wow this is so true, got me thinking... why am I prioritising beautifying my home.. but not my face and body??!! 3 hours cleaning, changing my hone decor but 10 minutes doing my hair and make up!!? This hit hard..
I didn't realise how much I needed to be called out like this 🙃
Same here.
“Life is to short to wear ugly clothes” I read this somewhere and it stuck to me! I have always loved fashion since I was in 2nd grade😂 I’m 39 now and still love everything beauty related!
I’ve been told “oh you’re that type of girl!” Like what does that even mean!? Just because I enjoy getting ready is a bad thing? “What are you getting dressed up for? Blah blah blah.. I’ve learned to tuned it out because I’m doing me! It’s part of self care routine and it makes me feel great, make up therapy is a real thing! Thanks for the video!
I really love this video and your content overall. But truly this has to be one of your best videos. After going through post partum depression even brushing my teeth was a struggle, everything you say here is so true. For me looking my best is simply putting on clean clothes and brushing my teeth. Sometimes i put makeup, sometimes i dont but everyday i try to do alittle better. Please keep making content like this.
Same here, I have an almost 4 month old and post partum depression hit me hard. I live in pjs 24/7 😭
@@yazminvela4368 hi yazmin, dont be too hard on yourself, if you can ask for help and when you are ready start making small changes. In the beginning for me the most helpful thing was getting sleep whenever i could. That will give your body a chance to heal. Try to eat as best as you can and drink lots of water, i know it sounds dumb but trust me those little things will make a ton of difference. If you need to live in your pjs for a while its ok, but when you feel you are ready start making little changes. I also got mental help from a professional because i didnt know what the heck was going on. Once i started talking about it I didnt realize how common ppd was. You are not alone, and you will get through this, please take care😌
@@yazminvela4368 one more thing once you are ready try sleep training for the baby, it was a live changer for me. I know its not for everyone but look into it, it was i ton of help for me. N always sleep when the baby sleeps, if you can😌 good luck😌
@@lvbr9174 thank you so much!! I’m fully breastfeeding so that was very hard for me. Specially when she was cluster feeding. I hardly got any sleep yet alone help. Plus, I have two other children. Things are getting better tho. My baby has a good sleeping schedule now. And I feel well rested most of the days it’s just the depression that sometimes gets the best of me. As crazy as it sounds I got a cat (I’ve always had love for cats) and that itself has helped me so much! I truly hope you’re doing well! Xoxo thanks for the advice!
@@yazminvela4368 so glad your cat is helping, things get better slowly. Take care as best as you can. You can do this n there is nothing wrong w wearing pjs all day🙂
Yes! No matter what age, always your best!! 100%!! ❤😘...it's self love and self appreciation 🥰☺️
It's like you are describing my life. I treated myself awful when I gained weight, like my body was my enemy. Wanting to punish your body. Yep I cried at that. This video is just for me. I've lost 75lbs, work out, and eat right and now I am in a great place. This video just seriously echos everything I've been through in the past 10 years. Thank you!!!
Whitney I really appreciate your genuine and authentic speech. It seems like you aim to be honest without worrying about the excessive demands of political correctness. You’re not afraid to spread a message of accountability to young woman. I hope to be a mother and wife like you! 💕
I was just thinking about this! I'm a single mom and definitely have the "all or nothing" mentality with my appearance, but that started to bleed into my hygiene, eating habits, and even my patience. I needed to watch this.
You rock, keep doing you.
This is so needed! I've noticed when I don't do my daily makeup routine, I don't feel like myself, and don't have the greatest day. When I take care of me, the day takes care of its self. Love you Whitney 😍💗
This video has been one of the most therapeutic experiences I've had in a long, long time. Miss Whitney, you're a great life coach, thank you for all this wisdom and empathy.
i love your content, you are such a breath of fresh air in this community
Thank you!!!!
When I look better I’m also motivated and productive.
During the lockdown and even during weekends and holidays, it’s a must for me to shower and dress after I get out of the bed. Health and vitality means more to me than make up and a flashy outfit (something I’m going to start working on). Brushing my hair as soon as my feet hit the floor out of bed and needing to look good even when no one is watching is like breathing. I need to have a fresh day every day. But I want to look fabulous everyday. I’m 42 and I want to make everyday significant!!!!!
I have a 16 yrs daughter that needs her momma to look good and try every day for both !! ❤️❤️ loved this topic Whitney!
I used to always do my hair and makeup for years and then people got to me about men prefer plain women and make up is so bad for you and slowly it went to letting myself go and then I started feeling not so great about myself so this video is so true and helpful. Thank you.
You hit the nail on the head with everything! I felt like at one point you were telling my story! You are amazing... please keep creating these kind of videos, they’re helping more people than I think you’ll ever know! ❤️😍🙌🏼
AMEN I absolutely AGREE with you. 🤗🤗🤗💚💚👍👍

For 10 yrs i did a full face, clip in extensions and lashes and nice clothes. I stopped when i got depressed due to a bad relationship and terrible job. I gained weight. I have started a glow up w this new high maitenence series but im now worried ab ppls reactions. I used to be worry about ppl seeing me without makeup and extensions but now im worried ab the opposite. Anyhow i have a peel scheduled for next week and a hair salon visit scheduled in march! 😍
The way society has shifted is so sad. I walk down the street with hair and makeup done with a nice outfit and people LEGIT look like they’ve seen a ghost. It’s just so odd. And I’ve gotten the “why are you so dressed up” my entire life and yes it’s really deterring and annoying! But everyday I choose to stand in who I am and ENJOY the delicious hair and makeup and style that helps me express myself. I love doing me🥰
Then there's me who looks up to you and wants to be like you 😩❤️
I just started saying '🤷 these are my clothes' and people just kinda go 'oh!' like who knew! Lmao. It's a funny reaction 😂
You don’t know how many women needed this video. I suffer from a mental illness but it’s never gotten in the way of my hygiene or at least I have never let it. I have always put in the work. I enjoy looking fabulous but lately I’ve been in a funk I can’t explain it. I don’t feel like myself. I don’t like it. I have been struggling so much with my appearance. I want to get back to me ...and that’s the woman who goes to the grocery store in full glam, heels and hair done. I needed this video. Thank you! thank you!thank you!
When my husband asks who I’m looking good for I always say myself 😂 when I’m going out I like to look good for myself and not for anyone else
I was just thinking about this yesterday... I had an appraiser coming to my house, so I cleaned everything up and myself... why haven't I been doing this all along?! Depression... absolutely. BUT making my bed and putting some bb cream on are now my 2 things I must do 😁
I needed this message. It’s something I’ve been struggling with lately, but your encouragement helps more than you know. Thank you!
In our house I have my son(special needs) , my 2 daughters (one special needs), my son in law and his brother. We have agreed upon rules and structure. One of them is when you come out of your bedroom your face is washed(make up is a choice) , teeth brushed, fully dressed for the day and hair brushed (and tied back if needed). I find it sets the tone for the day. And we have been in lockdown for about a full year
This video hit home. As a mom this is so easy to do. I always liked to get ready for me. When the pandemic started I continue to do my hair and makeup even if it was just going to work from home. I have recently stop, I have been more stress this past year then I have in the past decade. I am burned out, all the energy I have goes to my kids. But you are right there is always time for me. I am getting ready for my son soccer practice and watching this video. Thank you for the reminder ❤️ .
I wonder who dislike this video.... Its really changed things the way I’m thinking
"That's a whole lot of their problem, baby" YEESSSSSS! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
When you talked about people who say things like “why are you all dressed up? Where you think you’re going?” People who act like there is something wrong with a person feeling good about themselves and the way they look, that elevating your everyday is so wrong…my father and stepmother are the first ones who come to mind when I think back on who made sure they never missed an opportunity to push me down. And for what? That they then could enjoy watching me shrink myself down smaller and smaller so that they could feel better about themselves?Growing up, it was one of the things I wanted to most get away from. I did get away from that negativity eventually, but those things definitely affected me later in life and I’ve been doing my best to create my own healthy views on beauty and self care ever since.
Really appreciate you sharing some of your story. I thank you for the much needed reminder that I am not alone! 💖
I love this message your spreading! It’s so true I am the same way. If I don’t change out of what I slept in and open the blinds and do my makeup or brush my hair then I feel blah. I do it for myself because it lifts my mood and makes me happy. Well said girl 👏🏽 I am also one of those girls who live in gym clothes or scrubs but my leggings are what I feel the best in personally. The clothes I have in my closet are years and years old and most of it isn’t my personal style anymore so this just tells me I need to declutter lol 😂
You inspired me to change my ways and it truly made my day better. I got up made my bed and got ready for the day. Can’t tell you what a difference it made. Thank you!
I needed to hear this🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 I went from looking forward to every outfit i would wear to work and weekend outfits too to living in workout clothes. While I do workout everyday, I just end up putting on another set of workout/lounge wear. I love makeup and all things beauty but I probably go a week without putting on makeup. I need to make the time for me because I know I feel better when I do. ❤️
I’m only 7 minutes in & I’m crying 🥺 this is me. I’ve gained so much weight that sometimes I’m just like, why bother getting ready. 💔
Yes girl same. Realized out of all my photos i only have 2 selfies of myself when before i used to take one everyday feeling myself 💁🏽♀️ all done up and everything! I’ve been working out this past month and the past few days have been watching her videos and our only way is up from here 🙏🏼
When you look good, you feel good!
“Not everything will be for you or about you.” That’s revolutionary in this day and age. 😂
It's a known fact when you look good you feel good...when you look like a mess you feel Stressed...
I just want to say, I’ve been binging this playlist and…. You represent all of the beliefs I have and qualities I hope to have and further develop as I grow as a woman. I’m almost 23 at this point, but attempting to remain as close to my standards and my “high maintenance ” self, is truly the closer I remain to who I am. Who I actually am. I am so happy & encouraged to see someone else with that same mindset, in a different stage in life. It encourages me & reminds me that who I AM and the care I aim to have for myself is not WRONG! Thank you. Love you. Please keep posting.
I live on a fixed income so when i dress up or do my make up (i buy everything at Walmart or dollar tree) i feel silly i go to family events i try to "dress up" but everyone is dressed so much better..mean while im trying to look presentable with the little i have, its exhausting at times...i cut my own hair since i do not have the luxury of getting my hair cut or colored. But i am trying....
You’re doing your best and as long as you feel beautiful, that’s what matters. Check out Pinterest to look at different styles and any you can emulate. From there, thrift stores have awesome, affordable pieces that help you create your style! Stay beautiful
Go to thrift or consignment stores...lots of mostly good quality stuff... A pair of nice designer jeans you might pay 7 to 8 bucks for as opposed to 15 or more for jeans at Walmart...
@Elizabeth...check out the book Frugal and fabulous...can't remember the author, but I found it at the public library..tons of good tips on how to look great without a lot of money...I'm in the same boat..I don't have much money, but I believe that thinking others look so much better than me is more ideas coming from my own insecurity rather than reality...they DON'T look better than you, trust me...!
This video triggered me in the best way possible. I know I haven't been living my best, even if it is just for myself, but after all is said and done it's about self-esteem and self-worth. What we do for self is just as important if not more so than what we do for others. We can't pour from an empty cup...so thank you so much for bringing light to this topic.
I just stumbled on this video and it caught my eye because this is the space I am in right now and it spoke to me, I want to change and this is just what I need to get started. Thanks 😊 for this!!
I have been through a lot the last few years with getting out of an abusive relationship, getting pregnant, having a baby, now a toddler, and covid and getting laid off for 7 months. I have observed that I feel so much better about myself if I do put effort into my physical appearance. Small things like having my nails painted and wearing a few rings and a necklace and some makeup make such a huge difference in my well being and how I feel about myself. So I’m with ya sista! 100% believe in putting some effort into myself makes me feel happier, more confident, and even more productive.
From the bottom of my heart Thank you Whitney Thank you 🙏🏻 you are definitely bringing Maria back 🙌🏻I can relate with you In so many levels your a big inspiration to me 🥰😍❤️
I’m so ecstatic that I stumbled upon this video. I have a similar story as yours, so this resonates with me. I used to be like those “people” or “girls” haters whatever, saying why is she dressed up? Why does she look so good? Why and how?!! I was done with that life and attitude. When I met my husband, he told me a similar story too about his grandmother and mother having the same attitude as you. They would dress up and show up everyday no matter what. Their story changed my life. They came from nothing and had nothing growing up, yet they showed up!!! Thanks for being genuine and original!! 😍❤️👏🏻🥳
Literally watching this on the train while wearing gym clothes and NOT on the way to the gym 😩
I stumbled across your video. I thought What the heck and listened to this having my morning coffee. I cannot tell you my jaw dropping experience. I know I am looking at you, but all I see is me and my voice. You have just lite my fire to continue my journey towards self betterment. Thank you I have shared this message with family. We need this!!!!!!
Thank you for this ❤️ I’ve had people try to make me feel bad about the fact that I put effort in- it’s for me though, not them!
You filmed this 2yrs ago. I came across this video today September 8, 2023 and I NEEDED this! Thank you 🙏🏽
