One thing I really appreciate about the community that Ingrid has built is that the fans are very beautiful and compassionate. I feel very safe in this community. Thank you Ingrid, and everyone else.
This is why I love Ingrid so much. She is always real with us. When she's sad or down, happy or excited. She is always true. Everyone could take a little something from this vid and this wonderful human.
today has not been my best day. my uncle died, I had to go to a doctor to get glass out of my foot, and I started a really heavy period. feeling my worst, I clicked onto this video and I already feel soooo much better than I did earlier! thanks for making this video!
+Ingrid Nilsen you said that you wake up very early on bad days....what should I do if I don't sleep all the night and then I'm thinking(after waking up late):"Oh,great!I didn't have my morning routine(running,meditating,eating breakfast)!Now I'm gonna have a depressing brunch,damn!"
"Every day may not be good but there is something good in every day" A quote I heard you say from one of your other videos, which still sticks with me to this day :)
Ingrid, your Chanel honestly makes me feel so cozy and at home. I'm from Maine, and no other RUclips brushes so close to home for me. Mentally, your channel just makes me feel so comfortable. Sometimes on the internet I begin to feel like I can't watch without being forced to judge myself, your channel does the absolute opposite to me. It forces me somehow to accept everything I am and reflect that instead, and I just really wanted to thank you for all that. I really love your channel. ❤
Everyday is a "bad" day for me, although I don't think of it like that. I have a really bad chronic illness that effects every system in my body, especially my brain and neuro system. So every morning I wake up feeling like I got hit by a bus. I'm in constant pain, I'm always fatigued and I can't remember where I am for 30 seconds. I don't go to school or go out because I just can't. I'm not negative but some days it hits me harder than others. I'm super positive but when you're 15 and you can't go to school, you have hopes and dreams and they have been crushed by a disease it's hard to stay positive. I know some days I can't be positive, today is one of those days. Thanks for this video. Although I never put on make up or do my hair anymore (I'm too fatigued and I'm in too much pain) it's still helps to see that other people have bad days too. Thank you for another great video and being so real💕
Claire! Reading this comment was crazy for me. It was like reading my own story back to me...I used to watch Ingrid's videos when I was 15 and in the same position you are in now and they always took my mind off things and made me feel better. I'm 19 now and tho not 100% the comparison to where I was four years ago is a place I wasn't sure i would ever get back to! A disabling chronic illness that takes your teen years away from you is so hard and not fair at all...but everything you go through will make you stronger and you will get through it
My thought and prayers go out to you that you heal, hope to be pain free and find peace, joy and strength in the little blessing that life provides! xoxo
I'm so sorry to hear that! you might take some time to research soft tissue chiropractors who work with aligning the brain stem! I know there are some chronic neurological disorders they can help with! I hope you start to have better days soon love!
When Ingrid said its good for her to use products that are familiar to her, I guessed she would use that shadow and I was right! I remember a few years ago, she raved about that shadow, and so I bought it because of her. Everytime I reach for it, I think of her. Stay strong Ingrid❤️
I'm 40 seconds into the video and I can already tell how beautiful it is. You inspire so many people and this is such a good message. Not everyday is a good day but there is something good in everyday. Thank you for this and stay strong in whatever you are going through or dealing with. Everyone has something. Thank you for all your hard work x
Thanks for making this video, Ingrid! For people saying negative things about the fact that it was sponsored, you're not seeing things correctly. Ingrid had a partnership with BareMinerals set up and was gonna make this video. She was having a bad day and she stayed genuine to herself and her emotions and made an awesome and helpful video. What's so complicated about that?
I know you told us about how you wake up really early and have nothing to do.. I have an idea that you could plan out your whole day and think of fun things you could do with your best friends, or yourself for the day, or go shopping.. things that you like to do that will bring a smile to your face. I hope you feel better soon! Much love
I often find that when I'm feeling my emotional worst I make the effort to look my best, not to mask what I'm feeling, but because sometimes the way I look on the outside can even start to effect the inside.
my dad just passed away and watching this made me feel better in the smallest way you could think. getting ready, doing my makeup really does help the day start a bit better💓💔
Ugh, I am SOOOOO sorry. It is difficult to lose a parent. You will find that the smallest things make you feel a tad bit better and glad this video helped. Sending a hug your way. 💙💚💜
I obviously don't like the fact that you weren't feeling well when filming this, but I actually really like how calm and "slow" this video came out. You're funny when you're super excited, but you are also just as lovely when you are more down to earth. It feels very genuine.
I'm so sorry for the heartbreak you're going through. Man, have I been there. The Cheryl Strayed quote couldn't be more spot on. You just have to push forward and know it will get better. I appreciate you always keeping it real even in sponsored videos. This is why you've always been my fave. Stay strong.
I just had a panic attack for the first time in a while and I'm feeling a little drained and this helped me a lot :) Thank you Ingrid, and I hope you're feeling a bit better. Sending hugs from one cheeseball to another xxxxxx
Just went through the exact same thing as you, love. Panic attacks are the absolute worst. Still haven't fully recovered from it & sometimes it's hard to especially when not many people in your life understand what you're going through. Keep your chin up! & I'll try to do the same as well ☺️ Stay strong, babe.
Hope you're okay Ingrid! "Remember happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light" - Harry Potter quote! Stay strong! You are beautiful, healthy and so strong❤️❤️
I used to have a bad day almost every day last year, I really hated my job and my life. so one day I got the courage to quit my job. one year later I have a job which I really like and I'm so happy that I didn't just keep going like everybody told me but did something to change my situation.
three words, Ingrid: adult coloring book. it works for relaxation and creativity plus it being a coloring book brings back that childhood feeling. they work!
Part of fighting my depression is self-care. I have recently been making an effort to put on makeup and clothing that make me feel more like a person who can function in the world. It doesn't solve any problems, but it definitely improves my feelings about myself and my worth. I am thinking about you and sending you love and light.
There she is. There's our girl. I've been wondering if there wasn't something going on; the last few videos, while high quality as always, seemed a little forced. Authentic Ingrid is so great and so strong and so lovely.
Alot of youtubers wouldnt make a video if they werent having a good day, the fact that you did speaks volumes. Out of every youtuber, to me you are the most inspirational and I thank you for making me feel better when im having bad days. x
I've never actually commented before but I really want to say thank you for this video. Honestly on my bad days I usually do just sit in bed all day and cry, but the fact that you were able to make something of it and inspire others who may be feeling the same way to feel good about themselves is incredible. So please feel better soon Ingrid!
things will get better. when you are going through hell, just dont stop moving. everything happens for a reason and someday you'll understand why you had to deal with this. rise and shine, dear, nothing bad lasts forever 💓
Trust me we've all been there! Just know that your not alone and try not to shut people out. Hope you get through it and remember if you're not in their life anymore then that's their loss xx💙
To me there is nothing more brave than putting yourself out there and acknowledging that you're going through a hard time and accepting those feelings without trying to mask them. Thank you so much for making this video, Ingrid, and for reminding us that it's okay not to be okay all the time.
This is perfect in my life right now. Thank you. What has helped me lately a lot is holding myself accountable to one enriching activity a day like yoga, massage, hobby, hike, something for community, something new that I've been scared to do alone or have been meaning to do... Makes me feel like I'm making progress and if rest of day is crap, I know one thing went right. Also I take some comfort in understanding the grieving process knowing that better times will come. Life is hard but no growth happens without difficulty. Much love.
This is very real for me. I have extreme depression and anxiety and have been suicidal for the past two years. Almost every day for me is a "bad day". I often don't have the energy to do my hair and makeup well but if I don't i worry all day what others think of me. This video really helped me understand I am not the only one out there that isn't happy all the time.
This made me tear up Ingrid, it was so simple yet comforting to watch. Bad days, weeks, months etc happen to the best of us but you are right, sometimes you have to tackle the day ahead and doing little comforting things can make it that tiny bit better. Plus, when you put blush on, you smile and even when you're feeling like crap, your smiling and its an instant mood lifter. I hope you're feeling better.
I think it's so brave of you to do this. You looked so sad at the beginning and I did see you get a little bit happier and happier throughout the video. I'm sorry you're having a hard time, I hope it gets better. I love you.
Just lost my grandma and dealing with my grandpa who has terminal cancer and I like to follow the "look good feel good" motto even when I don't feel good. Watching your inspirational videos helps me cope and realize I am not alone. Much love from Toronto Canada
When I am having a bad day, I like to go to school in a baggy shirt and sweat pants then come home, sleep, then shower for like 2 hours. I like to shower at the end of the day to "wash the day off" and have a clean slate when I go to bed. :) ps: you are amazing!! and you have really helped me with my depression and anxiety, thank you! and I hope that you have an amazing rest of the week and don't forget to remember that you are amazing!!
You see so heartbroken in this video Ingrid, I'm so sorry. Please know what an inspiration you are! You brighten my day so much with your videos and also recently your podcast. You're so reflected and well-spoken it's an absolute joy to listen to you speak. You make a huge difference in other people's lives. It's ok to not always be ok, but know that so many people are thinking of you too, like you are for us. Stay strong, stay beautiful 😘
I love this video. I've never seen anything like this on youtube (or the internet in general) ever. It's so inspiring, even though is really just a "GRWM" video. I have definitely taken in some off these tips and will use them next time I have a bad day. Thanks Ingrid! x
You seem genuinely yourself all the time, but the honesty of this video especially is so important. Thank you for helping those of us in dark periods feel less alone.
Ingrid, today was actually a bad day for me. It was a day that was supposed to be so good but ended up so bad. I watched this and laughed and cried on and off through the whole thing. Thanks for being transparent!
Hi love. I don't usually comment on videos (mainly because I'm lazy), but I felt like commenting on this one. I could clearly see that you were having a bad day. I love that you still make videos even when you're not feeling too good, it makes you real. Plus I think this was a super original video idea, and I really enjoyed it! I hope you're having a better day today love ^^
You are such a brave and beautiful person, don't listen to anyone who tells you any different. Not only were you courageous enough to film this video in the first place, but to film this video while you are actually having a hard time makes this so much more inspirational. Raw emotions usually aren't something people show or are honest about, but the truth is we all have them. I love that this is a video on how to cope through the bad days, how to find the good in them and yourself, rather than trying to completely conceal or ignore them. You are an inspiration. Thank you for your videos you post and the community you have created.
I just watched this today and it resonated with me as I'm having a bad day. But you made me smile and feel like I'm not alone +Ingrid Nilsen ! Some of my bad-day self-care steps are holding my puppy, making tea, putting a couple of tea tree oil drops in the shower, wearing a big comfy sweater, listening to some Christian podcasts on the way to work, and reading Psalms. Have a better day!
I love how you can tell that she's being honest in this video. We can tell that's he really is having a bad day because right at the beginning you can tell that she wants to cry, and that made me tear up. Ingrid, thank you so much for this video!
I truly appreciate your honesty in this video. Its not common for people to really acknowledge the bad days. Thank you for being real with your viewers. It means a lot :)
Clinical depression stops me from even getting out of bed some days. This video has really inspired me to try and fight my depression. I can't thank you enough.
10 minutes into the video and I'm like "WHY are you so orange? What did you do?" The entire time.. Then I finally realize I had he "nighttime mode" on my iPhone. 😂😭😭 Oh man. It's been a long day. I'm gonna have to rewatch later when I can see the actual colors you're using... I hope you feel better soon. 💜
That happened to me when I was watching the sun rise! I was like "omg the sky is SO PINK, why does it look orange on my phone???" Then I figured it out 😅😅 not usually up that early
+Hannah van Hahaha that's so funny! It's hard to get used to remembering to turn that on and off for certain things. Lol it would be terrible watch a swatch video with that on! 😂
Seeing the quote ending with "...Our lives do not play out in absolutes..." helped me cry a bit. And honestly, today was not the worst day, but not a very good one and I feel like watching this video has helped reduce the likelihood that tomorrow will follow suit. Thank you for aiding in that positive shift already.
I started doing makeup as a way to cope with my "bad days" with bipolar disorder. I'm now a published and successful makeup artist. Thank you for this video. Made me feel not so alone.
I hope you feel better soon. You have inspired me so much in the past couple of years. I feel a major connection to you and know that the RUclips community is standing by you
Ok so these youtubers put in so much time into making these videos that you watch for free and you complain about them making money to keep them afloat?? Ignorant....
Sam Brandt Not at all. I never said I minded her making money. You just read my comment and ran away with your thoughts and assumptions. It's more to do with the type of video. This video is supposed to be personal and genuine in the sense that she's telling us what makes her feel better on a bad day, only one of the things that helps her feel better on these bad days is something she's been paid to tell us makes her feel better. Also, ignorant was the wrong insult for you to use in this situation. I don't lack knowledge about how youtubers make money. I was merely stating that I thought this video of hers in particular would've been more effective, in my opinion, if it was not sponsored.
I'm sorry that in Ingrid's time of sadness, the only thing you could think to do is criticize her video. It's perfectly okay to feel that way, but in this situation it might be better to just criticize it in your mind, instead of typing it out so that Ingrid, who already feels bad, can feel worse.
Throughout this whole video I just wanted to reach through the screen and hug you! I love that you post videos about things that aren't so happy-go-lucky.
I'm having bad days too, life doesn't make sense to me anymore. We care about worthless things and work hard to impress people that don't give a ***** for us. On the other hand, i live in a developing country and economic conditions are very hard. But remember there are beautiful things like dogs.
Oh Paula! There are more beautiful things out there....you just have to see with the right mindset. Is there sh*t in this world? Absolutely! But, there are beautiful people, beautiful places, beautiful things too. Watching a bird fly in the sky can be beautiful if you awe in the fact that the bird sees life with a different perspective. I applaud you for being honest about how you are feeling right now. It will get better, but you also have to try to see the beauty in life. Sending a hug your way.
Thank you! You're right. Maybe i only see he dark side of life and forget the other side. But sometimes it's hard, everyone has a different reality. Thanks for the time and support :)
+Paula M l have those days too. Just tell yourself one positive thing each day, even if you just look in the mirror and say "Today will be a good day."
I love that you mentioned dogs. People don't often understand why I'm so obsessed with them, I always go up to pet them, I have loads of pictures, and sometimes looking at a cute dog will even make me cry. I love dogs because they are such a beautiful thing in such a hard world and they are always so caring. I hope that your days begin to get better, and that you make have many dog kisses for the rest of your life! :)
Ingrid, thank you for sharing this. As someone with a chronic illness, bad days are part of my life and these kinds of tips are really great for making me feel functional when my body disagrees! Regarding your comment on waking up early - if you think you might be able to fall back asleep, I find that meditative breathing helps drift you back. But if you're awake, then looking through your day and seeing what you can accomplish at 4 am (it's always 4 am for me) so that you can have time for a nap when your energy flags later is good. I stand strongly by 4 am yoga as a way to make the morning feel intentional, rather than unavoidable. And since you're up early, you might as well take advantage of the best part about being up early - being outside as the sun rises and the day starts. I'll have my tea in the morning outside. Watching the world wake up is a quiet way to remember that the bad day will pass, just like they have before.
It's hard when being a RUclips celebrity and you have to get through so many hard things in life yet to be such an amazing inspiration to the RUclips community out there. You've made my day so much better. Thanks for keeping up, Ingrid! I love you!
I had such high hopes for the Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Hydrating Gel Cream...and it looks awful on the skin :( At least on mine, it just sat on top of the skin - it never blended in to look natural. I must have tried using it about 10 times before I had to give up on it. Great concept, it just needs better formulation.
Ingrid, when you are sad and you are waking up really early in the morning...spend some time outside as soon as you can. It may be the early daylight that you are craving.
Thank you for keeping it real. Not every day can be a good one, but there are ways to make it better. And you're helping to let people know it's normal. Love you Ingrid
I've really disliked your content at times, feeling like you were pretty disingenuous in your videos. It wasn't your videos that gave me a level of respect for you...it was your podcast. I'm impressed by the way you express yourself and by the thought you put into your words. In your podcast, don't come off as some eager-to-please wannabe teenager whose content is controlled, to some extent, by some network. To those of you who enjoy Ingrid for whatever reason, I suggest you check out her podcast to get slightly better insight into the kind of person she is. I thoroughly enjoy the topics of conversation, too!
It's so refreshing to know you're not the only one going or that has gone through a rough patch. I think I become swept up in the online world where everyone else is "perfect" then I start comparing my life to everyone else's and focusing on all my flaws. I really hope you feel better Ingrid! And bareminerals I an amazing company.
Ingrid, thanks so much for this heart-felt video. Lately I've been having a string of bad days and it's been difficult to get in the right mindset to get things done. I run into the problem where I'm waiting to feel better before I start tackling my day - it's like waiting for a train that's never going to pull into the station. It's such a great reminder that moving our bodies first can have a positive effect on our mood - so thank you for that. There was one day in particular where I woke up early on my one day off!!! I tried sleeping but I just tossed and turned in bed for a while. Finally I went out for a walk, watched the sun rise, and did some breathing exercises... And I came back home and fell asleep. Thanks again for your wonderful video and I hope the coming days feel better!
SO WEIRD! The first video I ever saw of yours WAY back when, you talked about your oily eyelids and the Bad to the Bronze pot, that I went and bought because of you! haha
I needed this recently, and especially this week. My boyfriend has had a lot of pressure on him to take care of me while I've been very anxious and I'm trying to be better about taking care of myself. Thanks, Ingrid. We love you and you are not alone!
When I wake up in the middle of the night I turn on my lamp and I either read or do a crossword or word search puzzle. On super bad days that I don't want to even care, I put a podcast on and I put in on my bed next to me so I don't feel alone and have something I'm interested in being discussed.
Hi Ingrid! I'm so sorry you're going through a rough time right now. I know in times like this all you can do is your best and that's totally okay. Just know that you also are not alone, and I'm almost positive someone with as much love and positivity as you has a wonderful support system behind them! I love you and I wish you all the best!
I hope they figure something out! I was there 9 months ago. I had no idea what was wrong with me. I was loosing my life to an illness that didn't have a name. Eventually I found out what that illness was and now I'm fighting harder than ever. I hope you can start to understand what's going on because one you do it's only the beginning. Good luck💕
Ingrid I rarely comment on videos but felt soo inspired by you in this video. I wish I could jump through the screen and give you a huge hug. Your spirit is so genuine and beautiful and I hope that on the bad days your able to look at all the positivity you've helped spread just by being you here on youtube, you go girl. Just know millions of others are going through extremely rough and painful times and that your not alone! Its definitely a part of life. Anyways thank you so much for everything. I hope you wake up ready to kick ass and make your day great. Love You!!
The AD next to the title is only a law in the UK, and I think Canada as well. Hence RUclipsrs in the United Kingdom, and maybe Canada, only have to do it. Also I However, a lot of those elsewhere often mention it in the video and/or description box.
It hurts my heart that a person as genuine and sweet as you is having a hard time. I unfortunately am having a hard time too, so on the bright side, we're in this together! Love you Ingrid
I don't like the idea of this video, you never say to yourself "time to get ready for a bad day" and you don't because you don't know when your having a bad day you don't just wake up and say "this is a bad day" not only are you being extremely negative but you don't make sense. You don't know if a day is good or bad until the end of the day not as soon as you wake up you can't predict the future
I know where you are coming from with this, but for me, I know, when I'm gonna have a bad day. I live with chronic pain, and some days are worse than others. And on my most painfull days, I KNOW it's gonna be a bad day! And on those, I need some "inspiration" to get moving (well, even to get out of bed😞) But, I totally get your point!👍🏻
I agree! I think this should be about having a HARD day. Even when I am having the worst days I mentally slap myself and try to think of something good that happened in the last hour. Sometimes its as small as getting a text from my sister, or seeing a cute dog on the street, and sometimes its something bigger like a friend giving me a hug or a good grade on a quiz. I used to always say that I knew when I was going to have a bad day, but even though its hard, I am trying to break that habit. I hope your hard days get harder and your good days become more frequent! :)
I get your point, this video does not make sense to me... When my mood isn't the best It is extremely hard for me even to brush my hair let alone put makeup on, not feeling it! Love her, but this did not work for me
One thing I really appreciate about the community that Ingrid has built is that the fans are very beautiful and compassionate. I feel very safe in this community. Thank you Ingrid, and everyone else.
I agree. This is a really wonderful community.
I agree. This is a really wonderful community.
well said. I totally agree! I hope you feel better, Ingrid!
i agree with you👍
❤️
This is why I love Ingrid so much. She is always real with us. When she's sad or down, happy or excited. She is always true. Everyone could take a little something from this vid and this wonderful human.
you could see her holding back tears in the intro. my heart is so heavy, we love you ingrid❤️
What happened?
+Cat Hepburn she's having a bad day
+Cat Hepburn she's just going through a tougher time xx
She and her gf Jules broke up.
+Madeleine S aww i didn't even know that
"I live in a block of cheese!" Girl, you are so real and I wish I could give you a hug.
I cried by the end of the video. So much love to you, Ingrid! I hope I can remember to find some of those little things the next time I feel bad.
today has not been my best day. my uncle died, I had to go to a doctor to get glass out of my foot, and I started a really heavy period. feeling my worst, I clicked onto this video and I already feel soooo much better than I did earlier! thanks for making this video!
Aww! I'm so sorry!! Sending you a hug!!!
Really needed this today. Totally cried while watching this so thank you.
+Ingrid Nilsen omg legit freaking out that you replied. Just made my day a bit better 😊
+Ingrid Nilsen you said that you wake up very early on bad days....what should I do if I don't sleep all the night and then I'm thinking(after waking up late):"Oh,great!I didn't have my morning routine(running,meditating,eating breakfast)!Now I'm gonna have a depressing brunch,damn!"
see how killing me, go to my channel
same
"Every day may not be good but there is something good in every day"
A quote I heard you say from one of your other videos, which still sticks with me to this day :)
💙💙
same :')
Ingrid, your Chanel honestly makes me feel so cozy and at home. I'm from Maine, and no other RUclips brushes so close to home for me. Mentally, your channel just makes me feel so comfortable. Sometimes on the internet I begin to feel like I can't watch without being forced to judge myself, your channel does the absolute opposite to me. It forces me somehow to accept everything I am and reflect that instead, and I just really wanted to thank you for all that. I really love your channel. ❤
Everyday is a "bad" day for me, although I don't think of it like that. I have a really bad chronic illness that effects every system in my body, especially my brain and neuro system. So every morning I wake up feeling like I got hit by a bus. I'm in constant pain, I'm always fatigued and I can't remember where I am for 30 seconds. I don't go to school or go out because I just can't. I'm not negative but some days it hits me harder than others. I'm super positive but when you're 15 and you can't go to school, you have hopes and dreams and they have been crushed by a disease it's hard to stay positive. I know some days I can't be positive, today is one of those days. Thanks for this video. Although I never put on make up or do my hair anymore (I'm too fatigued and I'm in too much pain) it's still helps to see that other people have bad days too. Thank you for another great video and being so real💕
god bless you, things will get better xxxx

Sending all my love, stay strong xx
My thought and prayers go out to you that you heal, hope to be pain free and find peace, joy and strength in the little blessing that life provides! xoxo
I'm so sorry to hear that! you might take some time to research soft tissue chiropractors who work with aligning the brain stem! I know there are some chronic neurological disorders they can help with! I hope you start to have better days soon love!

Not everyday is a good day but there is something good in everyday. Thank you for this and stay strong in whatever you are going through or dealing with. Everyone has something. Thank you for all your hard work x
😀
Thanks for making this video, Ingrid!
For people saying negative things about the fact that it was sponsored, you're not seeing things correctly. Ingrid had a partnership with BareMinerals set up and was gonna make this video. She was having a bad day and she stayed genuine to herself and her emotions and made an awesome and helpful video. What's so complicated about that?
thanks mami
HEY DAD
OH MY, HI AMANDA
Oh hello
oh hey daddy
Hi
I know you told us about how you wake up really early and have nothing to do.. I have an idea that you could plan out your whole day and think of fun things you could do with your best friends, or yourself for the day, or go shopping.. things that you like to do that will bring a smile to your face. I hope you feel better soon! Much love
wow. i was having a really bad day, decided to open up my youtube subscription, and us came this little jem thanks ingrid..
Love you Ingrid x
I often find that when I'm feeling my emotional worst I make the effort to look my best, not to mask what I'm feeling, but because sometimes the way I look on the outside can even start to effect the inside.
my dad just passed away and watching this made me feel better in the smallest way you could think. getting ready, doing my makeup really does help the day start a bit better💓💔
I'm sorry to hear that. Stay strong.
sorry for your loss
Ugh, I am SOOOOO sorry. It is difficult to lose a parent. You will find that the smallest things make you feel a tad bit better and glad this video helped. Sending a hug your way. 💙💚💜
❤️❤️😢😘
My thoughts and prayers go out to you! He will always be with you, an angel on your shoulder. May God bless you with strength and grace. xoxo
I obviously don't like the fact that you weren't feeling well when filming this, but I actually really like how calm and "slow" this video came out. You're funny when you're super excited, but you are also just as lovely when you are more down to earth. It feels very genuine.
I'm so sorry for the heartbreak you're going through. Man, have I been there. The Cheryl Strayed quote couldn't be more spot on. You just have to push forward and know it will get better. I appreciate you always keeping it real even in sponsored videos. This is why you've always been my fave. Stay strong.
I just had a panic attack for the first time in a while and I'm feeling a little drained and this helped me a lot :) Thank you Ingrid, and I hope you're feeling a bit better. Sending hugs from one cheeseball to another xxxxxx
🙁
Just went through the exact same thing as you, love. Panic attacks are the absolute worst. Still haven't fully recovered from it & sometimes it's hard to especially when not many people in your life understand what you're going through. Keep your chin up! & I'll try to do the same as well ☺️ Stay strong, babe.
panic attacks always suck and make you feel so drained, but it's good that you're feeling better and are able to find things that make you happy!
Hope you're okay Ingrid! "Remember happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light" - Harry Potter quote! Stay strong! You are beautiful, healthy and so strong❤️❤️
Love that quote!!! 💡
my mom got me a poster with that quote I basically freaked out
I used to have a bad day almost every day last year, I really hated my job and my life. so one day I got the courage to quit my job. one year later I have a job which I really like and I'm so happy that I didn't just keep going like everybody told me but did something to change my situation.
three words, Ingrid: adult coloring book. it works for relaxation and creativity plus it being a coloring book brings back that childhood feeling. they work!
Part of fighting my depression is self-care. I have recently been making an effort to put on makeup and clothing that make me feel more like a person who can function in the world. It doesn't solve any problems, but it definitely improves my feelings about myself and my worth.
I am thinking about you and sending you love and light.
this is very fitting cause I'm going through a rough time rn and I don't know why. at all.
Me too😞
Same but we'll get through it! We can do this
same 😖 xx
Girl same here.. literally her video is me on the daily and idk why.
I just asked Google, wasn't a good idea..
There she is. There's our girl. I've been wondering if there wasn't something going on; the last few videos, while high quality as always, seemed a little forced. Authentic Ingrid is so great and so strong and so lovely.
I really enjoyed how real you are in this video. We all have bad days and it's refreshing to see a video like this!
Alot of youtubers wouldnt make a video if they werent having a good day, the fact that you did speaks volumes. Out of every youtuber, to me you are the most inspirational and I thank you for making me feel better when im having bad days. x
I feel so bad, you can hear her holding back her tears 😔 She's such a beautiful person and she doesn't deserve bad days. Love you Ingrid 💖❤️💕
I've never actually commented before but I really want to say thank you for this video. Honestly on my bad days I usually do just sit in bed all day and cry, but the fact that you were able to make something of it and inspire others who may be feeling the same way to feel good about themselves is incredible. So please feel better soon Ingrid!
Yeah I need this. I've been having a bad week. Probably going to be a bad month. I'm trying to deal with a breakup.
Sorry to read about your break up 😢 look after yourself xxx
things will get better. when you are going through hell, just dont stop moving. everything happens for a reason and someday you'll understand why you had to deal with this. rise and shine, dear, nothing bad lasts forever 💓
sending lots of positivity and well being💙
things will get better trust me and time will heal! just focus on yourself and on loving yourself ❤
Trust me we've all been there! Just know that your not alone and try not to shut people out. Hope you get through it and remember if you're not in their life anymore then that's their loss xx💙
To me there is nothing more brave than putting yourself out there and acknowledging that you're going through a hard time and accepting those feelings without trying to mask them. Thank you so much for making this video, Ingrid, and for reminding us that it's okay not to be okay all the time.
This is perfect in my life right now. Thank you.
What has helped me lately a lot is holding myself accountable to one enriching activity a day like yoga, massage, hobby, hike, something for community, something new that I've been scared to do alone or have been meaning to do... Makes me feel like I'm making progress and if rest of day is crap, I know one thing went right.
Also I take some comfort in understanding the grieving process knowing that better times will come. Life is hard but no growth happens without difficulty. Much love.
This is very real for me. I have extreme depression and anxiety and have been suicidal for the past two years. Almost every day for me is a "bad day". I often don't have the energy to do my hair and makeup well but if I don't i worry all day what others think of me. This video really helped me understand I am not the only one out there that isn't happy all the time.
Everyday you shine a little brighter. Nothing will keep you down love!
This made me tear up Ingrid, it was so simple yet comforting to watch. Bad days, weeks, months etc happen to the best of us but you are right, sometimes you have to tackle the day ahead and doing little comforting things can make it that tiny bit better. Plus, when you put blush on, you smile and even when you're feeling like crap, your smiling and its an instant mood lifter. I hope you're feeling better.
HOPE WHAT EVER IT IS THATS MAKING YOU SAD, GETS BETTER!! LOVE YOU SO MUCH AND WE'RE ALWAYS HERE FOR SUPPORT(:
You can see her gradually feeling better throughout the video and it warms my heart
I think it's so brave of you to do this. You looked so sad at the beginning and I did see you get a little bit happier and happier throughout the video. I'm sorry you're having a hard time, I hope it gets better. I love you.
I watch this video every time I'm having a bad day and I really wish I could like it every time. Thanks, Ingrid.
TBH. idk why everyone is Hating because it's sponsored. sweetie. this is how youtubers make money. suck it up.
Just lost my grandma and dealing with my grandpa who has terminal cancer and I like to follow the "look good feel good" motto even when I don't feel good. Watching your inspirational videos helps me cope and realize I am not alone. Much love from Toronto Canada
When I am having a bad day, I like to go to school in a baggy shirt and sweat pants then come home, sleep, then shower for like 2 hours. I like to shower at the end of the day to "wash the day off" and have a clean slate when I go to bed. :) ps: you are amazing!! and you have really helped me with my depression and anxiety, thank you! and I hope that you have an amazing rest of the week and don't forget to remember that you are amazing!!
Zaynab Elali You're so lucky. I have to wear a uniform at my school. If we had no uniform I would forever be in pyjamas.
You see so heartbroken in this video Ingrid, I'm so sorry. Please know what an inspiration you are! You brighten my day so much with your videos and also recently your podcast. You're so reflected and well-spoken it's an absolute joy to listen to you speak. You make a huge difference in other people's lives. It's ok to not always be ok, but know that so many people are thinking of you too, like you are for us. Stay strong, stay beautiful 😘
I love this video. I've never seen anything like this on youtube (or the internet in general) ever. It's so inspiring, even though is really just a "GRWM" video. I have definitely taken in some off these tips and will use them next time I have a bad day. Thanks Ingrid! x
TheMakeupChair has videoes like this too - hers are some of the best videoes I have ever watched! Check her out😊👍🏻
You seem genuinely yourself all the time, but the honesty of this video especially is so important. Thank you for helping those of us in dark periods feel less alone.
You are so amazing Ingrid! You inspire me every day and I love you so much
love you!
This is so cute awe xoxo
How sweet!!
How cute!! Thank you! You too have an amazing week!
This is so kind. You too!!
Ingrid, today was actually a bad day for me. It was a day that was supposed to be so good but ended up so bad. I watched this and laughed and cried on and off through the whole thing. Thanks for being transparent!
Hi love. I don't usually comment on videos (mainly because I'm lazy), but I felt like commenting on this one. I could clearly see that you were having a bad day. I love that you still make videos even when you're not feeling too good, it makes you real. Plus I think this was a super original video idea, and I really enjoyed it! I hope you're having a better day today love ^^
You are such a brave and beautiful person, don't listen to anyone who tells you any different. Not only were you courageous enough to film this video in the first place, but to film this video while you are actually having a hard time makes this so much more inspirational. Raw emotions usually aren't something people show or are honest about, but the truth is we all have them. I love that this is a video on how to cope through the bad days, how to find the good in them and yourself, rather than trying to completely conceal or ignore them. You are an inspiration. Thank you for your videos you post and the community you have created.
Off topic. How is Nugget?
Yeah where is nugget??
We need nugget!!!
NUGGET NUGGET NUGGET NUGGET
There is an updated photograph of Nugget on Cat's Insta. :)
I miss the Nuggohmonster
Making yourself vulnerable to help your viewers is the #1 thing I admire about you
Love from norway, love your videos
Yeees!! Norway loves u Ingrid
I'm having really bad time,being depressed for months...You bring joy and hope for many people.Love you
you are such an insperational person i love watching all your videos you make me soo happy love you xx
I just watched this today and it resonated with me as I'm having a bad day. But you made me smile and feel like I'm not alone +Ingrid Nilsen ! Some of my bad-day self-care steps are holding my puppy, making tea, putting a couple of tea tree oil drops in the shower, wearing a big comfy sweater, listening to some Christian podcasts on the way to work, and reading Psalms. Have a better day!
Ingrid is such a Bob Ross if that makes sense 💕
Her voice is soothing like Bob Ross's!
I love how you can tell that she's being honest in this video. We can tell that's he really is having a bad day because right at the beginning you can tell that she wants to cry, and that made me tear up.
Ingrid, thank you so much for this video!
thank you ingrid for this video :)
OMG I LYSSSSM ROSALIE YOURE MY IDOL 😩😩😍❤️
Rawr
I truly appreciate your honesty in this video. Its not common for people to really acknowledge the bad days. Thank you for being real with your viewers. It means a lot :)
So sorry you were having a bad day Ingrid ❤️
Clinical depression stops me from even getting out of bed some days. This video has really inspired me to try and fight my depression. I can't thank you enough.
10 minutes into the video and I'm like "WHY are you so orange? What did you do?" The entire time.. Then I finally realize I had he "nighttime mode" on my iPhone. 😂😭😭 Oh man. It's been a long day. I'm gonna have to rewatch later when I can see the actual colors you're using...
I hope you feel better soon. 💜
That happened to me when I was watching the sun rise! I was like "omg the sky is SO PINK, why does it look orange on my phone???" Then I figured it out 😅😅 not usually up that early
+Hannah van Hahaha that's so funny! It's hard to get used to remembering to turn that on and off for certain things. Lol it would be terrible watch a swatch video with that on! 😂
Seeing the quote ending with "...Our lives do not play out in absolutes..." helped me cry a bit. And honestly, today was not the worst day, but not a very good one and I feel like watching this video has helped reduce the likelihood that tomorrow will follow suit. Thank you for aiding in that positive shift already.
She kinda looks like Callie from the fosters!!!
yeah :) Indeed
TRUE
YES!
ikr
Really!!
I started doing makeup as a way to cope with my "bad days" with bipolar disorder. I'm now a published and successful makeup artist. Thank you for this video. Made me feel not so alone.
from cover girl to bare minerals! love you ingrid keep doing what you do :)
and feel better!
I hope you feel better soon. You have inspired me so much in the past couple of years. I feel a major connection to you and know that the RUclips community is standing by you
While I'm sure everything said in the video was all genuine, the fact that the video is sponsored took away from it for me.
Ok so these youtubers put in so much time into making these videos that you watch for free and you complain about them making money to keep them afloat?? Ignorant....
Sam Brandt Not at all. I never said I minded her making money. You just read my comment and ran away with your thoughts and assumptions. It's more to do with the type of video. This video is supposed to be personal and genuine in the sense that she's telling us what makes her feel better on a bad day, only one of the things that helps her feel better on these bad days is something she's been paid to tell us makes her feel better. Also, ignorant was the wrong insult for you to use in this situation. I don't lack knowledge about how youtubers make money. I was merely stating that I thought this video of hers in particular would've been more effective, in my opinion, if it was not sponsored.
Sucks for you, I guess
amyamyamy17 That is true, I guess
I'm sorry that in Ingrid's time of sadness, the only thing you could think to do is criticize her video. It's perfectly okay to feel that way, but in this situation it might be better to just criticize it in your mind, instead of typing it out so that Ingrid, who already feels bad, can feel worse.
Throughout this whole video I just wanted to reach through the screen and hug you! I love that you post videos about things that aren't so happy-go-lucky.
I'm having bad days too, life doesn't make sense to me anymore. We care about worthless things and work hard to impress people that don't give a ***** for us. On the other hand, i live in a developing country and economic conditions are very hard.
But remember there are beautiful things like dogs.
Oh Paula! There are more beautiful things out there....you just have to see with the right mindset. Is there sh*t in this world? Absolutely! But, there are beautiful people, beautiful places, beautiful things too. Watching a bird fly in the sky can be beautiful if you awe in the fact that the bird sees life with a different perspective. I applaud you for being honest about how you are feeling right now. It will get better, but you also have to try to see the beauty in life. Sending a hug your way.
Thank you! You're right. Maybe i only see he dark side of life and forget the other side. But sometimes it's hard, everyone has a different reality. Thanks for the time and support :)
This is so impactful and beautifully said. Thank you for your shining positvity! xo
+Paula M l have those days too. Just tell yourself one positive thing each day, even if you just look in the mirror and say "Today will be a good day."
I love that you mentioned dogs. People don't often understand why I'm so obsessed with them, I always go up to pet them, I have loads of pictures, and sometimes looking at a cute dog will even make me cry. I love dogs because they are such a beautiful thing in such a hard world and they are always so caring. I hope that your days begin to get better, and that you make have many dog kisses for the rest of your life! :)
Ingrid, thank you for sharing this. As someone with a chronic illness, bad days are part of my life and these kinds of tips are really great for making me feel functional when my body disagrees!
Regarding your comment on waking up early - if you think you might be able to fall back asleep, I find that meditative breathing helps drift you back. But if you're awake, then looking through your day and seeing what you can accomplish at 4 am (it's always 4 am for me) so that you can have time for a nap when your energy flags later is good. I stand strongly by 4 am yoga as a way to make the morning feel intentional, rather than unavoidable. And since you're up early, you might as well take advantage of the best part about being up early - being outside as the sun rises and the day starts. I'll have my tea in the morning outside. Watching the world wake up is a quiet way to remember that the bad day will pass, just like they have before.
keep your head up, your crown is falling 💞 we luvluvluv you, Ingrid.
It's hard when being a RUclips celebrity and you have to get through so many hard things in life yet to be such an amazing inspiration to the RUclips community out there. You've made my day so much better. Thanks for keeping up, Ingrid! I love you!
I had such high hopes for the Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Hydrating Gel Cream...and it looks awful on the skin :( At least on mine, it just sat on top of the skin - it never blended in to look natural. I must have tried using it about 10 times before I had to give up on it. Great concept, it just needs better formulation.
Thanks!
I love my bare minerals complexion rescue
It works for me with a brush, a beauty blender, or my hands. Is your skin quite dry/are you properly moisturizing before you use it?
some products don't work for everybody ;0
She has the voice of someone who is about to burst in tears, and i hate it... i just want to hug her and tell her she's gonna be okay
Ingrid, when you are sad and you are waking up really early in the morning...spend some time outside as soon as you can. It may be the early daylight that you are craving.
Thank you for being so real Ingrid. This video was so natural and beautiful.
It seems like you've been having bad days a lot lately... It hope you start to feel better soon :)
Thank you for keeping it real. Not every day can be a good one, but there are ways to make it better. And you're helping to let people know it's normal. Love you Ingrid
I've really disliked your content at times, feeling like you were pretty disingenuous in your videos. It wasn't your videos that gave me a level of respect for you...it was your podcast. I'm impressed by the way you express yourself and by the thought you put into your words. In your podcast, don't come off as some eager-to-please wannabe teenager whose content is controlled, to some extent, by some network. To those of you who enjoy Ingrid for whatever reason, I suggest you check out her podcast to get slightly better insight into the kind of person she is. I thoroughly enjoy the topics of conversation, too!
It's so refreshing to know you're not the only one going or that has gone through a rough patch. I think I become swept up in the online world where everyone else is "perfect" then I start comparing my life to everyone else's and focusing on all my flaws. I really hope you feel better Ingrid! And bareminerals I an amazing company.
Thanks for your human-ness. Sending you infintie love. :)
Ingrid, thanks so much for this heart-felt video. Lately I've been having a string of bad days and it's been difficult to get in the right mindset to get things done. I run into the problem where I'm waiting to feel better before I start tackling my day - it's like waiting for a train that's never going to pull into the station. It's such a great reminder that moving our bodies first can have a positive effect on our mood - so thank you for that.
There was one day in particular where I woke up early on my one day off!!! I tried sleeping but I just tossed and turned in bed for a while. Finally I went out for a walk, watched the sun rise, and did some breathing exercises... And I came back home and fell asleep.
Thanks again for your wonderful video and I hope the coming days feel better!
SO WEIRD! The first video I ever saw of yours WAY back when, you talked about your oily eyelids and the Bad to the Bronze pot, that I went and bought because of you! haha
I love how you brighten up with the simplest things in your life. Came on raw, and true to what's going on. Happy you have found happiness
"A gentle scrub" 😂
I needed this recently, and especially this week. My boyfriend has had a lot of pressure on him to take care of me while I've been very anxious and I'm trying to be better about taking care of myself. Thanks, Ingrid. We love you and you are not alone!
When I wake up in the middle of the night I turn on my lamp and I either read or do a crossword or word search puzzle. On super bad days that I don't want to even care, I put a podcast on and I put in on my bed next to me so I don't feel alone and have something I'm interested in being discussed.
Also from Montana, woot woot.
Hi Ingrid! I'm so sorry you're going through a rough time right now. I know in times like this all you can do is your best and that's totally okay. Just know that you also are not alone, and I'm almost positive someone with as much love and positivity as you has a wonderful support system behind them! I love you and I wish you all the best!
if your having a bad day here is a hug to you =)
When I'm having a bad day, my best remedy is to watch your videos. Thank you Ingrid Nilsen. xo
I'm going through a rough patch at the moment because neither me or doctors don't know what's wrong with me at the moment.
Sorry to hear that. I know that's a tough place to be, because I was there. :( ((hugs))
I hope they find out what's wrong soon. Stay strong!
I hope they figure something out! I was there 9 months ago. I had no idea what was wrong with me. I was loosing my life to an illness that didn't have a name. Eventually I found out what that illness was and now I'm fighting harder than ever. I hope you can start to understand what's going on because one you do it's only the beginning. Good luck💕
Ingrid I rarely comment on videos but felt soo inspired by you in this video. I wish I could jump through the screen and give you a huge hug. Your spirit is so genuine and beautiful and I hope that on the bad days your able to look at all the positivity you've helped spread just by being you here on youtube, you go girl. Just know millions of others are going through extremely rough and painful times and that your not alone! Its definitely a part of life. Anyways thank you so much for everything. I hope you wake up ready to kick ass and make your day great. Love You!!
everyday is a bad day for me
maybe find a positive thing you love to do, look forward to something everyday, like look at all the plants around you or make someone else happy
no sweetie no:)
+Amanda Lindwurm thanks for the love back:):)
You are so real and authentic, this is why I love you.
Can you please put an AD next to the tittle when the video is sponsored? Like every other youtuber?
Like Estée *
The AD next to the title is only a law in the UK, and I think Canada as well. Hence RUclipsrs in the United Kingdom, and maybe Canada, only have to do it. Also I However, a lot of those elsewhere often mention it in the video and/or description box.
Apologies for the typos in my response
It hurts my heart that a person as genuine and sweet as you is having a hard time. I unfortunately am having a hard time too, so on the bright side, we're in this together!
Love you Ingrid
I don't like the idea of this video, you never say to yourself "time to get ready for a bad day" and you don't because you don't know when your having a bad day you don't just wake up and say "this is a bad day" not only are you being extremely negative but you don't make sense. You don't know if a day is good or bad until the end of the day not as soon as you wake up you can't predict the future
I really like Ingrid but I don't like the concept of this
I know where you are coming from with this, but for me, I know, when I'm gonna have a bad day. I live with chronic pain, and some days are worse than others. And on my most painfull days, I KNOW it's gonna be a bad day! And on those, I need some "inspiration" to get moving (well, even to get out of bed😞)
But, I totally get your point!👍🏻
If you're going through a heartbreak or any type of mourning, the bad days are consecutive.
I agree! I think this should be about having a HARD day. Even when I am having the worst days I mentally slap myself and try to think of something good that happened in the last hour. Sometimes its as small as getting a text from my sister, or seeing a cute dog on the street, and sometimes its something bigger like a friend giving me a hug or a good grade on a quiz. I used to always say that I knew when I was going to have a bad day, but even though its hard, I am trying to break that habit. I hope your hard days get harder and your good days become more frequent! :)
I get your point, this video does not make sense to me... When my mood isn't the best It is extremely hard for me even to brush my hair let alone put makeup on, not feeling it! Love her, but this did not work for me
I've been having a bad time, waking up so so sad and just sitting on the sofa feeling so upset and not sure why. This really helped me. Thank you xx
