Long time lurker, not often a commenter but just want to say to not pressure yourself to entertain everyone every single video, it’s totally normal and REAL to have not only bad anxious days but days where you want to just chill and be cozy. I’d literally watch an entire b roll of you just waking up making your green juice, walking to Pilates, getting home, skincare self care moment, cooking moment and tv/chill w Link and then bedge. I as well as I’d assume many others wind down and relax when watching you, seeing someone with a larger following still have anxious days and days where they just don’t wana people truly reminds everyone we are all only human ❤ much love ❤
Gonna second this comment. I’m trying to finish up the first semester of my PhD and I appreciate a soft and slow video to relax for a minute. Keep pushing forward Kristen!❤️
girl this vlog was not “meh”, it’s vulnerable and real and you have a whole fan base of people rooting for you and supporting you! We don’t want you to put pressure on yourself, we just want you to have fun💜 you’re always an inspiration, love ya x
Kristen!! why are you so hard on yourself when it comes to vlogmas!!! we just love your energy, anything you do is cozy, calming, entertaining. love you❤❤ sending hugs!!
kristen, thank you for being so open, honest & authentic. don’t feel the pressure or obligation to have to speak or be “on” if you are having an off day yourself. those days are draining enough as is and can be exhausting to push through, so take the time for yourself to settle and get comfortable. sending you lots of good energy 🤍
I love people's vlogmas because I love getting more content from the people I watch. I never expect it to be festive/Christmas content all the time. I'm not doing festive things every day either, ya know? I just appreciate the more frequent uploads, no matter the content.
im so obsessed with you and link’s relationship, it is truly a special bond and you can pick up on it through the small moments we see you share with her. i’m so happy for you that you have that because it is truly amazing
Hey hey, Your vlogs always make me feel so cozy and inspired! I love how you’ve been quickly getting your new place set up-it’s so impressive, especially when I think about how much I struggled with moving. And waking up and hitting the gym before breakfast? Goals! Honestly, I think your Vlogmas is totally valid, even if it’s 'just a vlog in December.' It's your vibe that makes it special, not how 'Christmas-y' it is. Plus, it’s still the beginning of December-you have plenty of time to add in some holiday fun if you want to! Hell, get peppermint or gingerbread scented or flavored stuff, then boom, its christmasy! No matter what, I know I’ll keep loving your videos!
long time watcher and lurker here to say thank you for showing a realistic version of the holidays for adults who may not feel like they fit into the mold of what the holidays are anymore. I also really appreciate the raw and vulnerable part of the vlog because again, it really shows you how life is multilayered even if you are super happy and at a good place in your life. you are one of my fav content creators and have been for a while wishing you the best thru the holidays and then some!! ❤
These are genuinely some of my favourite type of days to watch if you. Not that I want you to have anxiety but I love seeing you chill in your space and move through your day is just super relaxing
Anytime I’m feeling anxious or sad, my dog just knows. He will immediately come to my side and just looking him in the eyes and petting him lowers my heart rate and I can chill out or at least feel some relief. It’s crazy how our dogs can reach a part of our soul without words. So happy you have your little Link😊
i loved this! i don't usually see your videos but this was in my subscriptions feed (!!!) and i'm so happy i watched. it feels calm, cozy, and real which is exactly the kind of content i want to see this month! also i have health anxiety too and it's truly such a struggle. sending so much love 💜
i can’t explain why is it so comforting to watch your videos, but seeing you live just a normal life is very reassuring that nothing is abnormal with my life
hi just wanted to pop in to say it's so so refreshing to see a content creator speaking about health anxiety! my health anxiety really amped up last year and it's such a tricky thing to navigate. i will say that wearing my fitbit has been helpful in my journey, because sometimes my brain is like "ur anxious ur heart is racing" then i look at my heart rate and it's like in the 70s. all of that is to say thank you again for being open about your anxiety, it means a lot to this health anxiety girl
Gurl you need to vent, so do I. Today started off rough. My schedule changed by one day and it ruined everything. I don’t have a day off now until next Wednesday. And the hours are brutal (comes with working retail in the holiday season) but I was looking forward to Saturday because it would’ve been a day off after a 10+ hour shift Friday. But like Alex said “Don’t let you Monday ruin your Sunday” and like my friend said “A day may not start off great, but it’ll end up great no matter how it begins” so with that in mind I’ll chill, eat, drink, and power through these next 6 days. Let’s do it to get through it and get through it to get to it. Much love and I hope you’re having a better day. And if not it’ll get better because bad days are temporary, good times are eternal. Have a wonderful and blessed evening and a great rest of the year and an amazing start to 2025❤❤❤❤ XOXO Short “Da Dork” Layne
My health anxiety has surfaced in the last couple of years. After working with my therapist, we realized it was contamination OCD. Could be something to look into! Wishing you well! Thanks for being so open.
I’m so glad you decided to go volgmas even though it’s not Christmas themed. I love knowing I have Kristen videos to watch watch after work in the evenings when i’m whinding down or doing a task like laundry and just relaxing.
Catching up on Vlogmas right now and just wanted to say thank you so much Kristen for being so raw. My anxiety has been worse recently and watching you brings me such a sense of calm. I feel so appreciative that you, as someone willing to open up & be honest, share content because it makes me feel connected & less alone ❤️🩹
I had a shitty migrane and anxiety day today and even thought I wish nobody went through those things, I love when I feel like you get me, you make me remember I should stop sometimes and be more gentle with myself. I love this videos, they're not meh. I live alone in a big city with my cat and you always make me company
Hey! Just a note that natural cycles is 93% effective in preventing pregnancy as opposed to other birth control options like the pill which is 99%. I know the pill isn’t for everyone but nc isn’t quite an exact replacement 🙂
Kristen! I hate that you feel anxious and pressured about vlogmas and everything going on in your life right now. But you know we love your vlogs no matter what they’re about! You’re probably one of the only 5 or so RUclipsrs I even watch anymore, your vlogs make me feel like I’m wrapped up in a warm blanket, with fuzzy socks on, and a warm cup of coffee on a cold winter morning. 🥰 Also, I can relate to that thing about burning the candles. I seen a similar post that said light the candle, wear the dress, and spray the nice perfume because life itself is a special occasion. So now I wear my favorite perfume everyday. 🖤
Although this move was something you chose and wanted change can take SUCH a toll on anyone emotionally and physically! I have to mentally prepare for the slightest change in my daily routine because things throw me off so easily emotionally and while I agree sometimes you have to remind yourself that there doesn’t always have to be a reason for anxious days when you simply struggle with anxiety, I think you have all the reason to be feeling a little thrown off right now even if it’s a good change for yourself!! Winter is the perfect time to slow down and take care of yourself ❤ sending you big hugs Kristen!
Hey Kristen!! I’m loving the vlogs so far and you do nooottt have to put pressure on yourself for any of this! I feel you for sure but you’re totally fine in what you’re doing and I’m assuming anyone would say this too but what you’re putting out is 100% what we all would watch! Take care of yourself girl❤️❤️
i really love when you show just how real life can be, i am someone that loves watching vlogs and watching living your authentic life and your showing your struggles is a breath of freshair so thank you for that
Along with other commenters, I always appreciate when you share the ebbs and flows in your life (that you feel comfortable sharing, obviously). While it does always suck to know that someone is having a rough time, it is a comfort when I myself am as well. To be clear, not that it is a comfort that other people are dealing with hard things, but that we are never alone in dealing with hard things, and that we can find community and support from others when we are struggling. No matter how much or how little we feel comfortable sharing about our situation. So from one random girl on the internet that has her own struggles, I send a hug and a reminder that "You can do this. It may be and will be hard, but you ARE strong enough to get through it. No matter what happens."
Silent OG follower but I’ve watched you for so long and so far this is my favorite vlogmas. Loving this era of Kristen and it’s healing something in me knowing I’m not alone in the process of living on your own out of your control vs when you’re ready. Love ya ❤
Girly pop you do not have to post anything super holiday like, just wanna see your content. You have a calming personality. Also it broke my heart when you started crying. I wish I could’ve given you a hug so I’m sending you a virtual hug 🫶🏽
Kristen, I love your vlogs and please don’t feel bad not having “Christmas themed” things for vlogmas. I love how relatable your vlogs are. Most people don’t do crazy things for December, so don’t feel pressure to! We love you 🥰
Hi! As someone who also gets really anxious regarding medical treatments, diagnoses, etc I totally get it. I hope you can get the answers you need and don't put too much pressure on yourself to act like you aren't feeling how you're feeling. Something that has helped me as of late is a weighted hoodie (also great for winter coldness tbh), so I'm not sure if that is something you've researched before, or something that would help with your anxiety since everyone deals differently, but I would highly recommend one! Even outside of anxious days they're just cozy and feel like a big ol' hug
This vlog is not meh, I just started watching your vids again and I love this. Also feel ya on the anxiety, dogs sense it and are a comfort….not dying lol
I'm so sorry you've been going through not knowing what's going on with your body. I can definitely relate to not having answers about physical symptoms and I know how tough not knowing can be. Please know that you're not alone 💜 thanks so much for sharing such a personal part of your life
Definitely not alone with anxiety 🤍 Love your videos, recently come across them and hooked:)) Christmas videos everyday for a month is not what I’d come for, just the everyday videos are great!!
Love your vlogs so much. I would literally just watch you clean or do any simple task. I know you don't know us, but you've been our bud for so long now 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
Kristen!! Thank you for being transparent and vulnerable, I’m sure it really wasn’t easy. I feel very comforted in a way because I too have been dealing with head/inner ear vertigo type symptoms. I struggle with bad medical anxiety even over the smallest of things. Just know you’re NOT alone at all! In full honesty I haven’t found anything to help yet, but I know that in time I’ll learn how to self soothe and navigate through the waves of emotions. I’m with ya girl ❤️
Thank you for leaving that part about anxiety in. I have been dealing with my own health stuff for 3 weeks and it’s nice to see I’m not alone in feeling alone and anxious about health issues.
I appreciate your vulnerability ❤and opening up a safe space for everyone! medical anxiety can feel so overwhelming, it’s a pretty big thing I’ve struggled with especially with receiving a brain tumor diagnosis this year I have a lot of fears pop up but we are so much stronger than we realize!!🤍🤍🤍✨ sending love to you and with the transition into this new period for you ✨✨🫂
last couple of vlogs you are really glowing, i feel like you are getting younger girl!! anyway, dont worry about filming slower or less happy days, we all have them, and it comforts me to see someone online showcasing that part of life!
Hi Kristen! I too don’t feel that holiday-y this year as I move Dec 27. Thanks for all the great ideas and helping me realize I’m not alone in this feeling of overwhelmingness especially around the holiday season. Love your videos!!! Watching on my lunch break rn for some peace haha
Kristen I love watching legit anything you post. I know you read it all the time but you genuinely feel like a big sister to me. I appreciate that you don’t only post the glamorous stuff, you keep it real and you’re so vulnerable and it is admirable to see. I hope any demons you are facing get the hell outta town. I’ve been watching you since the very beginning. 8 years? Jesus lol
Girl, I'm not out here doing holiday stuff every day or even every weekend! I'm doing exactly what you're doing. I prefer these types of videos, they are so much more relatable and realistic. That's what I watch for, not for Christmas content. You're my fav! And I hope you get some answers soon ❤
Love the no Christmas vibes honestly! My sister passed away 2 months ago and I cannot even imagine doing anything christmassy so I appreciate some vlogs that are just normal, everyday activities
baby girl you’ll be okay 🤍 take a breath and ground yourself when you need it. try not to stress about what you can’t control and always switch your mindset and express gratitude when you feel yourself spiraling in a corner. you’re a very mindful girl and I know you know, but REALLY take a moment to hear me. love you sweets 😚 always remember your mind is stronger than you think
You’re my comfort RUclipsr truly 🥹 started meds a while a while ago and I have to administer the medication myself and I was watching one of your videos a few months ago when you talked about how you had to take your meds to get better and I was able to overcome my fear and extreme anxiety and administer my medication while I watched you talk about it 🥹 and your real moment on this video truly shows me I’m not alone. I have so many anxious days like you had in this video. Thank you for always being so transparent Kristen🥹🖤
Hey Kristen, I know Vlogmas can be a lot of pressure, and you always strive for perfection. Remember, you are the most important thing. Focus on what brings you joy and what you genuinely want to share. Don't be too hard on yourself with the schedule. It doesn't have to be every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Maybe try posting twice a week or even just once. The key is to find a rhythm that feels sustainable and enjoyable for you. And please, don't shy away from sharing your anxious moments. They're a real part of life, and by being open about them, you're helping others feel less alone. Keep doing what you love, and remember to take care of yourself!
Youre doing so amazing at this thing called life. Dont forget that girl!!! You are going to keep accomplishing great things and also feeling better while you do it…because one thing ive learned about you is you are not a quitter, no matter whats slowing you down❤
I didn't read the whole message at first and almost commented my situation, sorry! But please just know you are not alone, and thank you for being so vulnerable. Hoping you get the answers you need!
Kristen, we love you❤ Life is this real, thank you for being open and honest about how mental health works, you make us all feel normal, accepted and relatable ❤ Hoping for the best in your physical and mental wellbeing ❤️🩹
If there are days you don’t feel like talking (I have those days too) you can make a vlog with no words ❤️ take care of yourself, we aren’t here to pressure you, just here to enjoy whatever you put out.
I honestly don’t care if it’s Christmas related content for vlogmas. I’m just so happy to have your videos and company no matter the content! I loved this vlog ✨🌙💛
love you Kristen thank you for doing vlogmas this year even though we all know you are super busy with other things! I love coming on here and seeing you posted! 🎉❤
2:14 I’ve had an oura ring for close to 6 months now and I love it! Definitely struggled with spending the money for it but it helped me so much, not only does it track my sleep and daily activity it also tracks stress and restorative time. There’s been so many moments where I felt guilty for scrolling or doing something “unproductive” but when I’d check my app it would show me that that time was actually allowing my body to rest/recover. Its easier now to prioritize that time when I need to and l’m more aware of what I actually have the energy to do rather than overexerting myself. It has helped me understand what my body needs and changed my perspective of things, highly recommend! Also would encourage anyone to try other products like it if the oura ring doesn’t fit your needs, understanding your body is sooo important, honestly a total game changer!!
i wear a whoop, and i find it doesn’t typically add to my anxiety and i’ve gotten better at not letting every little change give me anxiety because i can see the trends!
I just want you to know I prefer your random footage over highlights. I enjoy the monotony of it as we all have these moments in life and in a way seeing others have these moments allow me to romanticize my moments
Careful about storing jewelry in the bathroom. The humidity will cause more rapid tarnishing/oxidation. I only keep my jewelry in the bathroom in a dish while I’m showering and then put them right back on. P.S. “MEE-shell” ☺️
Kristen!! For the shoe racks- target has some good ones that are shorter, a bit longer and are also stackable ! They may be more suitable, I use them under my clothes and stacking 2 - they still don’t touch the bottom of my clothes🙂↔️🙂↔️ also WE LOVE YOU! Thank you for always being sooo transparent with us. ANY VLOG IS A GOOD VLOG! I hope things get better, sending hugs your way!! 💛💛💛
Hey Kristen, as always, I'm enjoying your videos, especially Vlogmas! I just wanted to let you know something I recently found out about perfumes. You should avoid storing them in the bathroom, as the high humidity can weaken the fragrance. That's why I store them in my bedroom
I am so invested in your life, not to sound creepy. lol. But I look forward to your videos and give a true look into your life and wanna say thank you for sharing your self with people you have never met. But I love your videos and it’s comfortable. I feel like I’m checking in with friend I have never met. 💕💕
really loved the transparency of this vlog ♥ and, it seemed to bum you out that its not chistmasy, but i've really enjoyed a more, season neutral video 😊
On the Oura ring, it helped my health anxiety SO much and I had the same worry that it would make it worse. The not knowing is what caused my anxiety. I love checking my sleep patterns every morning.
I also struggle with severe health anxiety and I'm going through a flare up of some issues right now, so I totally get how hard it is. It's so mentally exhausting that it becomes physically exhausting ❤
Health anxiety is hard :( always sending you love, prayers & good vibes ♥️ also I also have had problems w linty towels; I found that getting the waffle material for towels never has any lint. I believe I got the POLYTE lint free ones on amazon❣️
I need a emoji that matches the face I’ve made when you say some of the stuff like I really needed to hear. Even reading your pause section. GIRL. Carly said she watched your vlogmas and I haven’t even dabbled over here now I’m binging so hi here I am 🤍
Just to show you what a geezer I am...my mind immediately went to "mood ring". (I know this is not that, but...😂). I wasn't expecting another Vlogmas entry from you so soon. ❤U.

thank you dude 🥹🤍
What she said 🥹✨💚
Gonna second this comment. I’m trying to finish up the first semester of my PhD and I appreciate a soft and slow video to relax for a minute. Keep pushing forward Kristen!❤️
Seriously what she said! Aren’t dogs just the best! We love when u post obviously but take time for yourself we all need it girl!! 🤍
girl this vlog was not “meh”, it’s vulnerable and real and you have a whole fan base of people rooting for you and supporting you! We don’t want you to put pressure on yourself, we just want you to have fun💜 you’re always an inspiration, love ya x
Kristen!! why are you so hard on yourself when it comes to vlogmas!!! we just love your energy, anything you do is cozy, calming, entertaining. love you❤❤ sending hugs!!

Its ok to be anxious with big changes happening. Moving is also stressful and that excess energy needs to go somewhere. Be gentle with yourself. ❤️
So glad you and Link have eachother. Your hearts are truly puzzle pieces and the love you both have for eachother is insane. ❤️❤️❤️
i don’t even remember before her ugh i love her so much
i can’t explain why is it so comforting to watch your videos, but seeing you live just a normal life is very reassuring that nothing is abnormal with my life

ugh you get it dude. it takes you out of reality it’s such a weird feeling.
Thank you for leaving that part about anxiety in. I have been dealing with my own health stuff for 3 weeks and it’s nice to see I’m not alone in feeling alone and anxious about health issues.
it’s the fucking worst ugh but take it one moment at a time.
Link instantly ocming to comfort you the moment you felt anxious
she’s a little doctor!! thank you love 🥹❤️
I appreciate your vulnerability ❤and opening up a safe space for everyone! medical anxiety can feel so overwhelming, it’s a pretty big thing I’ve struggled with especially with receiving a brain tumor diagnosis this year I have a lot of fears pop up but we are so much stronger than we realize!!🤍🤍🤍✨ sending love to you and with the transition into this new period for you ✨✨🫂
sending you my love too 🤍 you’re right, we can do hard things!!
@@KristenMcAtee 🥺🩵🩵🩵🩵
last couple of vlogs you are really glowing, i feel like you are getting younger girl!! anyway, dont worry about filming slower or less happy days, we all have them, and it comforts me to see someone online showcasing that part of life!
omg thank you??? and thank you for the reminder 🤍
Hi Kristen! I too don’t feel that holiday-y this year as I move Dec 27. Thanks for all the great ideas and helping me realize I’m not alone in this feeling of overwhelmingness especially around the holiday season. Love your videos!!! Watching on my lunch break rn for some peace haha
Kristen I love watching legit anything you post. I know you read it all the time but you genuinely feel like a big sister to me. I appreciate that you don’t only post the glamorous stuff, you keep it real and you’re so vulnerable and it is admirable to see. I hope any demons you are facing get the hell outta town. I’ve been watching you since the very beginning. 8 years? Jesus lol
This is what an all around phenomenal woman looks like ❣️
Thank you for sharing your vulnerable moments with us ❤❤
Girl, I'm not out here doing holiday stuff every day or even every weekend! I'm doing exactly what you're doing. I prefer these types of videos, they are so much more relatable and realistic. That's what I watch for, not for Christmas content. You're my fav! And I hope you get some answers soon ❤
Love the no Christmas vibes honestly! My sister passed away 2 months ago and I cannot even imagine doing anything christmassy so I appreciate some vlogs that are just normal, everyday activities
I loved this vlog so much, it may be my favorite. Thank you for being so raw and real. It makes me feel less alone in my anxiety. much love.
Thanks for being vulnerable and honest, tis the season of anxiety for a lot of us 🙃 and it’s nice to know we’re not alone. Keep doing you girl!
We love you, you wonderful human. Thanks for being there for us all, and thank you for letting us tag along on all of your journeys. ✨💚
my favorite vlogs of yours are the ones like today. theyre so comforting. try your best not to overthink. thoughts are not facts. 🩵
baby girl you’ll be okay 🤍 take a breath and ground yourself when you need it. try not to stress about what you can’t control and always switch your mindset and express gratitude when you feel yourself spiraling in a corner. you’re a very mindful girl and I know you know, but REALLY take a moment to hear me. love you sweets 😚 always remember your mind is stronger than you think
thank you hannah ❤️❤️❤️
You’re my comfort RUclipsr truly 🥹 started meds a while a while ago and I have to administer the medication myself and I was watching one of your videos a few months ago when you talked about how you had to take your meds to get better and I was able to overcome my fear and extreme anxiety and administer my medication while I watched you talk about it 🥹 and your real moment on this video truly shows me I’m not alone. I have so many anxious days like you had in this video. Thank you for always being so transparent Kristen🥹🖤
Hey Kristen,
I know Vlogmas can be a lot of pressure, and you always strive for perfection. Remember, you are the most important thing. Focus on what brings you joy and what you genuinely want to share. Don't be too hard on yourself with the schedule. It doesn't have to be every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Maybe try posting twice a week or even just once. The key is to find a rhythm that feels sustainable and enjoyable for you. And please, don't shy away from sharing your anxious moments. They're a real part of life, and by being open about them, you're helping others feel less alone. Keep doing what you love, and remember to take care of yourself!
Youre doing so amazing at this thing called life. Dont forget that girl!!! You are going to keep accomplishing great things and also feeling better while you do it…because one thing ive learned about you is you are not a quitter, no matter whats slowing you down❤
I didn't read the whole message at first and almost commented my situation, sorry! But please just know you are not alone, and thank you for being so vulnerable. Hoping you get the answers you need!
These are my FAV vlogs! not meh, they make me feel so human with you. I feel not alone, big sis vibes
Kristen, we love you❤ Life is this real, thank you for being open and honest about how mental health works, you make us all feel normal, accepted and relatable ❤ Hoping for the best in your physical and mental wellbeing ❤️🩹
You and Link seem so much happier in your new place! So excited for your new adventure!
If there are days you don’t feel like talking (I have those days too) you can make a vlog with no words ❤️ take care of yourself, we aren’t here to pressure you, just here to enjoy whatever you put out.
Link being there for a cuddle right when you need it is just too cute. 💕
Link is such a sweet girly 😊❤ So excited to watch your vlogmas for the 1st time!
I honestly don’t care if it’s Christmas related content for vlogmas. I’m just so happy to have your videos and company no matter the content! I loved this vlog ✨🌙💛
Also I love watching the moving stuff and seeing your place come to life!!
sometimes life is shit, no worries kristen :) just happy to hear from you, regardless of content!!
love you Kristen thank you for doing vlogmas this year even though we all know you are super busy with other things! I love coming on here and seeing you posted! 🎉❤
I love that Link knows her mama needs a cuddle❤️ there is NOTHING like a dog’s love
I like that it’s not holiday related. I’m currently bout to move and I loveeee your style and design tips :) plus, I’m low key boycotting Christmas.
2:14 I’ve had an oura ring for close to 6 months now and I love it! Definitely struggled with spending the money for it but it helped me so much, not only does it track my sleep and daily activity it also tracks stress and restorative time. There’s been so many moments where I felt guilty for scrolling or doing something “unproductive” but when I’d check my app it would show me that that time was actually allowing my body to rest/recover. Its easier now to prioritize that time when I need to and l’m more aware of what I actually have the energy to do rather than overexerting myself. It has helped me understand what my body needs and changed my perspective of things, highly recommend! Also would encourage anyone to try other products like it if the oura ring doesn’t fit your needs, understanding your body is sooo important, honestly a total game changer!!
what a good review thank you! ahh i’m so excited for it to start learning my body more
@@KristenMcAteedid you get the generation 3 or 4?
i wear a whoop, and i find it doesn’t typically add to my anxiety and i’ve gotten better at not letting every little change give me anxiety because i can see the trends!
Sending you so much love and light, girly. Thank you for sharing with us.. take it easy on yourself 💖
Awww Link knew you needed her in that moment. Sending love ❤
I just want you to know I prefer your random footage over highlights. I enjoy the monotony of it as we all have these moments in life and in a way seeing others have these moments allow me to romanticize my moments
Dogs are awesome! Always there to listen
I love that you put your ring on a necklace! Seems a lot more safe and closer to the heart! Sending you positive energy from San Antonio, Texas ❤️🫶
Careful about storing jewelry in the bathroom. The humidity will cause more rapid tarnishing/oxidation. I only keep my jewelry in the bathroom in a dish while I’m showering and then put them right back on.
P.S. “MEE-shell” ☺️
I love the oura ring and natural cycles!! It makes tracking temperature so mindless. The medical information is never scary and always truly helpful!
Kristen!! For the shoe racks- target has some good ones that are shorter, a bit longer and are also stackable ! They may be more suitable, I use them under my clothes and stacking 2 - they still don’t touch the bottom of my clothes🙂↔️🙂↔️ also WE LOVE YOU! Thank you for always being sooo transparent with us. ANY VLOG IS A GOOD VLOG! I hope things get better, sending hugs your way!! 💛💛💛
Hey Kristen, as always, I'm enjoying your videos, especially Vlogmas! I just wanted to let you know something I recently found out about perfumes. You should avoid storing them in the bathroom, as the high humidity can weaken the fragrance. That's why I store them in my bedroom
Kristen I love your videos so much! You are just so real and your vibe is amazing.
Most of us would just watch tv with you, give youself a big ol cup of grace
I am so invested in your life, not to sound creepy. lol. But I look forward to your videos and give a true look into your life and wanna say thank you for sharing your self with people you have never met. But I love your videos and it’s comfortable. I feel like I’m checking in with friend I have never met. 💕💕
ily link & k... ik for a fact no one would mind unseen footage for a video🤍 enjoy ur break from podcasting & be as kind to urself as u r to others
Sending good vibes your way!! Also, I’ve been watching Love Island Australia and it is wild
really loved the transparency of this vlog ♥ and, it seemed to bum you out that its not chistmasy, but i've really enjoyed a more, season neutral video 😊
On the Oura ring, it helped my health anxiety SO much and I had the same worry that it would make it worse. The not knowing is what caused my anxiety. I love checking my sleep patterns every morning.
I also struggle with severe health anxiety and I'm going through a flare up of some issues right now, so I totally get how hard it is. It's so mentally exhausting that it becomes physically exhausting ❤
yessss friends is the best, i always go in there just to browse and leave with a bunch of shit i absolutely didn't need (but want profusely)
it’s a problem hahaha that place looks like the inside of my brain
Health anxiety is hard :( always sending you love, prayers & good vibes ♥️ also I also have had problems w linty towels; I found that getting the waffle material for towels never has any lint. I believe I got the POLYTE lint free ones on amazon❣️
I relate to you so hard with the health anxiety. It's exhausting to always be worrying and anxious and it stops me from enjoying life :/
loving this era of kristen. have to know where you got the longsleeve with the star.... apartment is looking sooo good!
always wishing you the best and more with your health
I need a emoji that matches the face I’ve made when you say some of the stuff like I really needed to hear. Even reading your pause section. GIRL. Carly said she watched your vlogmas and I haven’t even dabbled over here now I’m binging so hi here I am 🤍
Just to show you what a geezer I am...my mind immediately went to "mood ring". (I know this is not that, but...😂). I wasn't expecting another Vlogmas entry from you so soon. ❤U.
my therapist said the same thing! she was like oh so it just changes colors…? lol
here it listen!!! lets gooooo just what i needed while getting ready for work
