🦋 You are beYoutiful inside and out; I love you!
The Ordinary is the most influential and game changing brand ive seen. They switched the game. The big companies charging ridiculous amounts for basic actives remained no more. The ordinary made these actives and amazing ingredients accessible to the public. Truly thankful to the ceo and others for making this happen.
My skin loves the ordinary I use the hylarounic acid and it’s soooo hood and moisturizer it also acts as a primer 😅
Why is the after photo edited and the before is not? Very clear use of lights, increased colour and contour.
@@aleksanderl still it’s an amazing brand every brand edits their photo 😌😅 it is very moisturizing and nice
Unfortunately they loose this reputation due to new products they lunch with ridiculous prices and not minimal INCI
Cassandra, thank you for being real, I had depression like 5 years ago, I had a relationship for 1.5 years then I learned that he is married, It was really hard for me. When I learned I was already in love with him, I cried for a year Every single day. I was praying to not cry one day, only one day. I didnt have even energy or will to leave the bed. Now 5 years later I am in love again, even engaged. Everything will be better, I promise. ❤
That sadness you show about breaking out is Heartbreaking bc I remember when me and my mom would literally cry over my acne when I was younger... I feel you😢
Do you think Cassandra is suffering from PTSD due to past experiences?
@@Jasmine215100I think it's wildly inappropriate to speculate.
@@Jasmine215100she’s already admitted to it
I gave up on my skin care in March 2023 due to a traumatic event. This is giving me motivation to get my discipline back. Lets do this!
Try just starting with something simple like cleansing , then applying a moisturiser. Just doing it the first time will give you a boost and will encourage you to try more. Watching skincare videos encourages me when I have a down day and don't feel like bothering with my skincare. I have a Chronic illness which makes me feel really physically and emotionally drained, not the same as your Truama but I hope my tip helps. Best Wishes xx
@nicolabaker4391 you're awesome thankyou! I'm sorry you have a chronic illness but I am also so happy that you are a warrior! Yes I just started using sunblock everyday again. I cleanse at night and use cereve moisturizer. Super simple that's its. All I can handle at the moment.
I have also had a very traumatic series of events but I became obsessive with my skincare, like to the point of OCD, I guess for me it's because I feel I can't control anything at least I can control this little bit of my life. I hope you're doing better and yes, start with small steps, some self-care is going to do you good.
Girl me too. It was end of March beginning of April for me. After a miscarriage of my twins. I was 4 months along. I’ve just not taken care of myself at all and I’m feeling like I need to get back to it.
I hope you got back to your skincare routine. I neglected my skin for about 4 years and going back was hard, but worth every single second of it. Not even when I used to see my dermatologist was my skin so beautiful, and investing time to come up with my own routines was one of the best things I did in this 2023. You got this.
This will be over, Cassandra. I know you'll be kind to yourself and overcome what you've been going through. I lost my hair over stress a few years ago, which only makes you more stressed, and have really bad IBS. You'll be fine ❤
Can I be your friend? Cuz I have the same!
Omg I'm the exact same! It's so difficult!
We will get through all these things...we have each other
I lost my hair because of my thyroid. It finally came back but it made me so sad. Wishing your hair comes back.
@@kayrabey1344 it did! Thank you! I'm very happy to report it's very full. I used Minoxidil but also working on settings limits on damaging people and getting better at handling my stress. Being kinder to myself
This fellow vegan cares for you. Thank you for being transparent, as long as it serves you
that second sentence is so beautiful. thank you for being kind!
Oh you are such an incredible woman. The bravery of being vulnerable and talking to all of us who trust and care about you, sharing your struggles at the moment, is just astonishing and inspiring.
I’m sure that currently you’ll probably find it hard to accept praise or compliments but girl, what you’re doing for the community of people who watch, love and completely rely on your content, is you’re being a real human being, and that’s very hard to see and find in this world of social media and the norm of perpetuating this perfect outward appearance, not showing what’s actually going on inside. You help us all find ways and trust worthy products that can support our natural beauty, with science backed ingredients broken down by your wealth of knowledge, yet you never make us feel any less than perfect, with or without all these products. I truly hope one day soon, like a mirror, you can take all the confidence and inspiring words you give us all the time, and turn it around on yourself because you are unique and special.
I’m sure I speak for most of us when I say that we’re all here to support you and truly respect and admire you. Your skin, your hair, your troubled mind do not define you. You’ll get there honey, take one minute, one hour, one day at a time. Thank you for being unashamedly you, always ❤
From one women to another that struggles with some issues, I give you such huge credit for announcing it on your RUclips channel. People tend to think of therapy as a crutch. They don’t tend to realize that mental health is the same thing as, perhaps, diabetes or heart disease. It needs to be medically assisted. You go girl! Very happy to have you mentioned that because your platform and your viewers deserve to know they are not alone. Kudos.
100%
No they don’t they just need therapy! Stop giving people pills and start talking with them about their problems and don’t make them addicted to pills!!
I actually do suffer from diabetes, kidney failure, retinopathy, and MDD. I’ve been seeing a therapist as long as I can remember and I would no way on earth use my conditions as theatrics to try to fill content. While I support her for her courage I also believe there’s a time and a place for acting a bit out of it and in my opinion it’s not this channel. But it’s hers and she can do whatever she wants with it. But I don’t have to watch it. 😊
@@chrismarcello7690
Seriously? Sometimes meds are needed for health issues. I hope you do not go through them. But keep on judging others.
@@moongoddess5858 Well said. To each their own.
This hit me hard! Thank you for telling me that I'm not alone in my emotionally and mentally tough state which causes so many breakouts!
Remember, nothing in life is static, everything moves, both the great parts of life but the hard parts of life as well.
We will all power through 💪
Honey, you are not ok, and that is OK.
The only way out of the pain, is through it. Take the time you need, stop the distractions, and feel your pain.
I'm sorry for what you're going through, but I want you to know that you will be ok, we're here for you. We're going to support you, we don't mind if you need to take time off.
It's ok Cass. Sending you all the love. ❤
I’ve had a roller coaster type of year too Cassandra, you’re not alone. Your videos actually help me get out of my depressive episodes, because skin care is self care 🥰. Sending love and good energy your way, it might be dark now but you’ll be brighter than the sun soon 🙌🏾.
@Chamberlain, thank you so much for your comment. We are not alone and thank you for sharing your story with me. Let's keep in touch!!
Slažem se. I hvala ti što si jaka da snimaš i dalje ❤
Give us an estimate of how many loads you've swallowed
Spoken like a true faceless corporation@@CassandraBankson
im worried about your mental health Cassandra :< i just hope that you know that you are a huge inspiration for alot of people, including me! Your story brings so much confort for everyone who has gone through acne and knows how it destroys our mental health... If its a broken heart i want you to know that you are so beautiful and if someone did something to you that made you feel like this, that person doesnt deserve you! sending you love cassandra
Thank you so much for being transparent about your mental health and really anything going on in your life (that you feel comfortable sharing). As someone who deals with intense depressive episodes, and often can't find the strength or reason to take care of oneself, seeing someone else (with so much intellect and courage) open up about their struggles in life really means a lot ❤. It makes the world feel less cold and lonely. On a much lighter note, I'm looking forward to the launch of this product.
Dear Acne big sister, you are a beautiful butterfly. You are constantly lifting us up, now we lift you up. You are beautiful, smart, and amazing. Xoxo ❤❤❤❤
Seasonal depression, it is for me.. And it lasts, oh boy, it lasts all through autumn. I guess we are not alone as long as we share our emotions and stories. You are a kind person Cassandra ❤
Your natural curly hair look soo good! Please let them live their curly life freely more often 😌
Life is totally hard Cassandra this year has been so hard 😩 I just wanna give you a hug !! This year I literally lost my job , been searching for one for months and I got nothing and it’s been a real struggle !
I’ll pray for you Cassandra ❤️
Thank you so much, you're the best and hang in there because great things happen to great people!!
Don’t give up. Same thing happened to me and 2 weeks ago I finally got a good job. I’m so thankful. I will pray you will get an offer SOON.
I lost my job then my mom 3 weeks later 😢 totally feel for you too. Yeah it's been a rough 2023.
Ginger is anti-inflammatory and helps bring blood flow to an area (herbalist speaking here), so I could see it being used in a repair serum as long as it's formulated properly :)
Dear Cassandra, I am sorry to hear that you have been going through some tough time. I hope you know you are loved by many of us and how you helped us with your tube channel. I love watching you and the information that you give to me and help me find the right sunblock when my skin barrier was damaged. Also introducing me to new brands to try. Hope you will feel better soon. Love you Cassandra 💜
Thank you so so much for being so open and vulnerable with us!! It s showing a lot of bravery and you show us that we are not alone. The video was great and sharing what you really feel about everything is incredible. Could you please do a video in detail about your problems or common problem we all have?♥
Hey Cassandra, I’m new in the butterfly community but I already feel like I’m part of a skintellectual pack hahahaha. I’ve been watching your older videos since a while and I can tell I find your content so engaging. Pls, keep being that beautiful human being you’ve shown us you’re, a genuine and resilient person. And as you said on the video, this phase is just a character development, I’m sure you’ll feel better than you actually do and I’m hoping you’ll drive through it brilliantly. Pls, take my support from another point of the globe! Luv u❤
Thank you for sharing your journey, competences and thoughts with us, even now! When you said you haven’t applied skincare with consistency for the past couple of months, that just made me feel so less disgusting that I had to rewind and listen again. I am going through the same things, not being able to shut up the storm between the two ears, please keep being yourself and, if you’re in it, therapy. You’re a beacon of hope and light for many of us! Sending you lots of love and support
Cassandra you are loved. I'm here not only for the rad skincare advice & reviews but, mostly bc of you. You are strong & struggling & you know what? You got this! HUGS SISTER!
💖😎👍
And, if we as your community & supporters can do ANYTHING for you, PLEASE ASK.
3:24 I have borderline personality disorder and lately it's been really hard, I too can't keep up with my skincare routine, so it's nice to hear that I'm not alone. I hope we all can feel better soon ❤
I have bpd too and it’s been a rough few months for me as well. Sending my love to you 💕
Hang in there. You are amazing and I wish you happiness and peace!
You are speaking to the last few months of my life! Thank you for being so honest. Hearing what you've been going through has been a God-send to me. Thanks for all you do, and keep being you! You are a gem.
Thank you for being so real. It’s also been a hard year health wise for me both physically and emotionally. I am doing better and beginning to consciously take care of myself ❤
From one Cassandra to another: we'll get through it.
I have trichotillomania, so when I stress, I pull (scalp). And it's SUCH a viscous cycle. When you're struggling in a situation and you become self destructive, it makes it that much more overwhelming. You already hate yourself and now you hate yourself more. And that feeling, my god. That feeling of looking down at the ground and seeing a pile of hair and knowing it's just not going to grow back in a week. You can't undo it. You can just accept and try to prevent it from getting worse.
Sometimes it takes every ounce of courage to accept where we're at. Sometimes we're a detriment to ourselves. But, we can recover. By some miracle, we've recovered so many times before. And we will see the end of this.
I feel you.😔
I pick at my skin till it bleeds if I feel the slightest bump on it, and I pick my eyebrows off compulsively. As a result, they have holes in them, and I look crazy if I don't wear makeup. 😬🤦🏼♀️
Awe Cassandra, ive gone through tough mental health issues too. i would even miss my skincare routine sometimes too. We all love you and love the skincare advice you give to us. You will get through it within the next couples years. we are rooting for you!!
HE “FELL” OFF A BALCONY?? I dont think that was an accident after launching something so inexpensive to help with all the skin issues that makeup covers i bet the makeup companies hated him for this I appreciate him forever. RIP
He had gotten into some problems with drug addiction, and his employees had to wrest control of his company away from him. They closed it down for a while while they reorganized it. However, Truax had a penthouse apartment in Toronto, and may have fallen or jumped off the balcony while under the influence of heroin.
@@vetsai8199that's horrible 😮
The Ozarks series showed an attorney who errr fell off his balcony. Art imitating life or life imitating art? Truth stranger than fiction? The cosmetic industry seems like a cutthroat business. They want to cater to all sexes and ages to make money.
Conjecture let him rest in peace.
Wow didn’t know there were so many theories regarding this. He was likely bipolar (some of the most brilliant individuals are). I always thought it was a suicide. R.I.P. Brandon
Oh man I relate to this so badly.
When you already go through a tough time and suddenly your whole body starts acting up making you feel even worse.
Try to push trough it. It'll get better. It has to!
cassandra! the nervous laughing when talking about your rough time right now.. i’m so sorry. it’s okay you miss doing skincare, you’re doing your best and that’s all everyone (that includes you too) can ever want from you! i’m proud.
Cassandra: thank you for your transparency; you are my "friend in my head" 🙂. We, your fellow Cysters will always love and support you. Thank you for always being so open and honest. Sending you hugs and positive vibes from NYC. ❤❤❤
Hey Cassandra, I was also having a rollercoaster time with extreme ups and downs that would happen way too fast for bipolar disorder, and my head is always spiralling with thoughts jumping from one thing to the next (I call it my kaleidoscope brain.) I'm 39 and was just diagnosed with adult ADHD! So much of my life makes sense now and I've found a combination of medication and ADHD coaching/therapy to be more effective than anything I tried before (antidepressants, anxiety meds, sleeping pills etc - I collected a ton of diagnoses, which is pretty common in late-diagnosed ADHD-ers.)
It affected me profoundly - I had to cut short a medical career and I've struggled for years feeling that I just wasn't good enough, I was too emotional, too chaotic, too unreliable - when really I was neurodivergent. I can now recognise my own unique strengths (great in a crisis, problem solving, creativity, passion, resilience) and have learned to regulate my emotions, especially the extreme downs and sensitivity that I struggled with for years.
it's not a magic cure, because it's not a disease in the first place - but it's transformed my life, because now I finally understand myself and my own mind.
I only mention it because women are vastly under-diagnosed as we learn how to mask out symptoms, and often present differently to men - and almost all of the research has been done on young boys, so clinicians aren't trained to spot it in grown ass women unless they specialise in it!
My hyperactivity is almost all inside my brain, but it comes out when I talk - but I also have social anxiety from a lifetime of knowing I was different to those around me, and feeling ashamed of that. I also have no filter (apparently we just don't have that function in our brain 😅) so I would keep quiet in case I said something stupid... So no one picked up on it
I also learned how to mask and manage my inattention/disorganisation from a very young age, and I was quite bright so I did well in school
There is a pattern of bright, passionate, perfectionist women learning how to mask/cope with undiagnosed ADHD for years or decades until they become too stressed/overwhelmed and suddenly are unable to keep up the facade (as it takes a ton of mental energy.) Then suddenly all that shame, self criticism, feeling like there is something broken or wrong with you comes rushing out.
I am not suggesting you do have it, I would never do that and I don't know you personally, but I always strongly encourage people to consider it if they are struggling with intense emotional swings, burnout, or feeling unable to cope, because it is SO under-diagnosed in adults ❤️❤️❤️
I can back up this comment . xx
You have summed up my entire life of emotional and psychological issues and disease all in your “comment reply”. Thank you so veery much. I am unable to do so myself and it’s almost impossible to communicate this to family, friends and most importantly, my doctors. Now I have a basis to better help myself. Bless you.
Late diagnosed ADHDer here!👋 Literally came to the comments to suggest the same thing!!
This video was so vulnerable and beautiful, it’s refreshing remembering your idols are human. Thank you for the amazing informative content!
You are not the only one feeling like this recently!! I have been feeling the exact same way and it’s so nice to remember that i’m not crazy (and neither are you!!) ❤
here I am, just checking out a new product and then Cassandra just goes into that moment about character development and going through some sh*t 19:42 and I almost burst crying cause I am indeed going through some sh*t as well and I did indeed need to hear this
thank you so much, hugs, everything is going to be okay!!
I was NOT planning on crying today. Thank you💛. You are kind, and smart and you make the world a better place.
Know you are loved and understood!
As someone with Borderline and battling very intense feelings, and dermatillomania to top it off to take off the stress when feeling bad, I haven't done anything to take care of myself until this week and finally taking a vacation, but I felt like I have completely let myself go but even skincare can be self care and therapy, sending hugs and support!
I was so sad to hear of Brandon's death in 2019. There was a lot going on with the him and his company prior in 2018. So much makes you wonder regarding the cause. Sad story all around. I hope you start feeling much better soon! I look forward to trying this new product. xo
“And now I’m sweaty”. Oh my gosh, we’ve all been there. Hope life settles down for you ❤
one thing I really love about you and what you do with your channel is that you are so open. I love it cause i relate and i see myself in you and it makes me feel like you are an older sister recommending me things but also confiding in me and showing me everything is normal and ok. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!
I hope there are better days ahead for you, you give of so much kindness . Sending love and light. 💓
I feel like you care about all of us on here by sharing your experiences and your phenomenal honest education about skincare. It’s so brave of you to go on camera when I can barely look at myself when I m depressed.
Hope you're ok. If a narcissistic individual is behind your hurt I hope your therapist is very experienced and your friends are giving you all the love you deserve xx
I've had a couple tough years (nothing to do with COVID). I've found a lot of comfort in your videos and much education. A couple weeks ago I had a full mental breakdown. I almost went to the hospital and asked to be admitted for my mental health for 72 hours. This year has been the worst of my life and the last 3 weeks the worst of the year, but I'm getting better slowly. I'm glad you're getting help and hopefully you'll get through your mental issue sooner than later. Much love and support from me to you. Take care of yourself. ❤
Absolutely same… keep powering through! We got this
@@ValeriaKoleva Thank you. So much has happened in the world in the last few years and we all need help to get through. Hope you are well. I wish you the best in your struggles. 🤗
Oooff I've been there, I didn't go because I work in my town's unit and didn't want my colleagues looking after me (even though they would have been amazing and would never judge).
It's been 3 years since my last huge downer - and not every day is a win - but if I can take 5 minutes of quiet to myself every day to be grateful for this damn rollercoaster then it all feels manageable.
To whomever is reading this: you matter, it can get better, and there is no trophy for toughing it out on your own so ask for help, make the small changes, celebrate the small wins - and if you can't do that thwn just breathe in 2 3 4, hold 2 3 4, exhale 2 3 4. And again. And again. You got this ❤
@@cheekyb71 I can certainly understand that. My family all works in various lines of healthcare, but they aren't very close to me. However, my mother in law knows everyone so everywhere I go (especially the hospital because she worked there for 26 years) I get asked about her. It does factor into your healthcare decisions, although it shouldn't. Mental health especially has such a stigma, but I don't understand it. If your body can be unhealthy and need treatment why shouldn't your brain be the same way? Why is one looked down upon more than the other? Mental health isn't really something that other people can see, although I think you can tell, but you can hide anything for a long time if you choose to.
I hope you're doing better now. Since it sounds like you take care of people who also struggle it gives you an added layer of empathy. I think that is something sorely lacking in so many medical professionals today whether by ignorance (no experience with it) or choice (just needing to numb themselves because it's overwhelming the number of patients they have to take care of). Good luck to you and thank you for being in the medical field, we need all of you we can get. 🤗
@@Ali626AMM thank you, and you're right- it shouldn't be treated any differently than any other type of illness.
It sounds like you're doing okay at the moment too and I'm so glad ☺
Aw we love you Cassandra 😢❤ watching you talk about your rough year made me start crying too, it reminds me so much of what I went through when my dad passed away but life just kept going on regardless of how painful it was. It’s heartbreaking to keep pushing on when all you want to do is dig a hole and bury your head for awhile like an ostrich.
I just ADORE this girl! 🛐
Loved the pep talk 🩵🩵🩵🌙
Hi Cassandra, I've actually started watching your amazing videos while currently being on sick leave for a very intense and dark depression. Before that I was constantly immersing myself in work, social activities and trying my best to be myself even if I didn't really know who I was anymore due to a series of traumatic events over the years (that I didnt even recognize as traumatic, being naturally a very positive person). Just to tell you that I hope you really take care of yourself and your mental health, if you feel like it's hard to push through, sometimes it's important to stop and listen to yourself. I didn't, and I fell apart. Just know if you need time off your community will still be here for your afterwards cause you are absolutely unique and wonderful and your content is one of a kind. I wish you the very best ❤
Cass, you touch my heart as always. You are in my prayers, whatever you are going through. You’ll get there. Be as kind to yourself as you are to your butterflies. 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
oh wow - thank you for your transparency and honesty.
You may not see it now but it will all be in the past at some point.
3 years ago I went through a terrible situation at work that put me into a deep depression with mental and physical symptoms, of course. Now, after decisions (quitting my job), professional support, taking more care of myself, and medication - yes, don't be afraid of this - I can say that I am better than ever. Stronger, with more knowledge about myself and with many more tools to detect if something is wrong, and to correct it in time.
You will be too. I am sure of it. 💗♥
Honestly, this was my favorite video I've seen from you. Thank you so much for your commitment to both yourself and to us.
Sending you so much love, Cassandra ❤ thank you for being so honest with us. We are here for you forever.
Your videos are helpful for ordinary people like us to invest in good skincare and not viral trends. Your honesty in opening about your mental health is very brave. Thank you for being like the rest of us. Hope things are better soon.
I’m glad you are getting help, I can hear the emotion in your voice. Times like these it’s best to step back rest and heal. Sending you love and light from a grieving mother
I'm with you, in the stress area and not being kind or minding myself!. I cried watching this, I will definitely invest in this and myself!. Hope you are doing better beautiful lady. Love to everyone going through the same❤❤❤.
Getting the right therapy for OCD and CPTSD has really helped me with that up and down and all the thing that comes with that pattern but before this point i struggled. I hope you find a balance, I know its so hard to feel like you cant slow your thoughts down and the overwhelm of feelings when thoughts race. Our feelings move with our thoughts, it makes a lot of sense if you’re thinking about lots of things you’re feeling lots of things. Don’t be too hard on yourself, its hard to keep up with our usual routines when things are generally uncomfortable. It’s okay to do less than we normally do, even if it means we change things sometimes. Its okay to feel uncomfortable feelings, it doesnt make you less than when you have feelings that you/ others enjoy more/ are more comfortable with. You are strong and brave! I am proud of you for keeping on and trying. I think how you feel is normal and you deserve to feel your feelings, you aren’t alone in feeling or learning how to cope with them either and I hope you find a more comfortable footing in discomfort’s many ridges. I am sending you love. It’s a hard and confusing journey sometimes, be kind to yourself in remembering you are learning and that is okay (I think at least most of us are 🧡).
Gosh, this video really effected me. Sometimes getting back into a routine can help pull you out of a dark place. It's such a spiral when you get depressed and start neglecting yourself then hate yourself for neglecting yourself. I hope you feel better soon, Cassandra. This too shall pass. Nothing lasts forever.
Don't be so hard on yourself when you can't do the things. I've gone through a rough 2 years and letting go of all the things "I should do" or ways I should do things has been so freeing. Be kind to yourself so you have the energy to deal with the uncontrollable things ❤
Thank you for being so real about your feelings ❤ You are not alone! 💕
I hope you know and feel the love and support all of us have for you and your journey. You are a kind giving person who helps so many, please be kind to yourself. Be proud of how you share the good and bad, that makes you a real person and for that I am proud of you.
I have gained so much from your video's, you make my days better.
Thank you for all that you are...big hugs girl ❤
Niacin can also cause a flush - if there is a higher concentration of niacinamide, perhaps it's also contributing?
It has been a tough year. I don’t know what you are going through but I am sending you so much love and light. I know it is hard,but please take care of you. You are one of the best you-tubers out there❤❤
Hate to hear you've been going through it (whatever "it" is). So glad that you are seeking help! And thank you for sharing and still finding the time and strength to make great content!. I'd love a "Story Time with Cassandra: The Ordinary," but, in the meantime, be kind to yourself. 💙
Dear Cassandra, sending you lots of love from the land of Aus. We love you and thank you for all your advice and information that you give ❤️ 💜 😊
Cassandra girl! We see you. Thank you for showing up for us regardless. I am sending you all the love and the positive energy ❤ you will get thru it
Girl, I am with you! You’re so right, it’s so hard to remember to take care of yourself while you’re going through major struggles. I’ve been stuck on disability for the past 4 years following a horrific car accident. I’m in pain every day, even now. I am struggling. You are special and important, and I just want to say how you’ve helped me and so many other women. You’re honest and you care, and I always end up smiling with every video I watch. You’ve inspired me to try harder even when I’m depressed. I hope you’re getting through your issues, and I hope you realize how much of a positive influence you are in the lives of so many.
PS~ I was watching a dermatologist talking about retinols and which products to use, but it was a bit long, so I watched it sped up to 1.5 times normal. Then this video played next, and despite the sad part at the beginning, it really made me smile listening to you, bc you already talk fast. It was quite endearing. Stay strong butterfly! You’ll get through it, I know you can 🦋
It was amazing to watch your skin repair itself using the product. Thank you...a really great trial.
Take back your power over the people who hurt you and start loving PINK like a pink butterfly my friend. I'm going through a deep depression that I have been trying to fight my way out of for a few months now and my hair is falling out and everything aswell so I'm here with ya sis. Keep your head up. An this to shall pass. 🙏❤
Life is hard enough without your body acting a fool, too! This too shall pass ♥️
Im so sorry you’ve been feeling this way. I recently started having anxiety and depression and got diagnosed recently and it’s been really rough. I understand the struggle and hope you get better. I’ve been slacking on my skincare due to these things. Thank you for continuing to do these videos for us ❤😂
Feel better soon, you are amazing!🌞
Thank you for being open and honest about your vulnerabilities. It definitely helps others to know others struggle too. Keep up with your therapy! It helps!!! ❤❤❤
I just want to give you a big, warm, consensual hug ❤ And I want to thank you for being yourself and so honest in your video. I’m sure it couldn’t have been easy🫶 You are a bright light in a sea of gunk, even when it’s tough🌱 You will heal, you will grow, you are already getting better and stronger🎉 Thank you for being you, thank you for doing your thing, and thank you for the self love reminders❤ Right back at you, big sis🥰
Thank you for being so transparent! i love you, whatever you are going through you will get past it and come out on top
Also want to add that going through my darkest mental health issues is actualy what brought me to become an Esthetician. Your videos introduced me to the Esthetic Industry. Thank you.
GIRL! We support u ik Life is a bitch sometimes and hormones fuck with u, but to let you know, we are here for you!!❤
I feel you on the ups and downs and the anxiety/stress hair loss. I totally feel that whole you cant escape your own mind thing bro :(
one thing that has helped me when things get super bad is some silly quote I saw somewhere "You cannot control what happens to you, you can control how you react to it. your reaction is your power" or something along those lines.
also I really like this review, i love how you don't buckle to the hype and give your honest reaction
this year has been the worst year of my life so i feel you im sorry to hear you have been having a hard time. it will pass take care of your cassandra we appreciate you!💕
Your skin looks BEAUTIFUL
Yay! She’s back. I missed your videos Hope your mental health improves ❤❤
Cassandra, I really hope you take the time for yourself this year and I wish you the best of luck
I hadn't watched your vids in a while and today I decided to search up your channel and watch one while eating my lunch because your videos have always given me a boost in my mood and I'm under quite a lot of stress at the moment. I was sad to discover that you've been going through a hard time and I wanted to say that you're going to get through it! I've dealt with bad mental health a lot and one thing I can tell you is that it somehow always gets better. And I know it will for you, as well. 💝 Hang in there.
“It’s been showing in my face lately, and I don’t want to talk about it, and now I’m sweaty.” Heartbreaking but insanely relatable and funny as hell 😂 I say this as a clinically diagnosed depressed, anxious, ADHD girl: I love your content and your personality, and I just wanted to reach out and give you a huge hug! Remember you’re your own harshest critic, and you deserve to give yourself the amount of grace you give other people, which seems like a lot. Lather on that stress relief girl, you deserve it! ❤
Please continue to care for yourself. If you're not doing it, maybe an exercise routine - even as simple as walking - might help.
Please be as kind to and as supportive of yourself as you have been to us.
As sorry as I am for the distress you're feeling, I think you use it to be a kinder, more understanding person of others. Maybe a silver liner to the cloud?
Very much appreciate your openness about mental health in this video. I have been going through a mental health crisis myself recently, and your videos have really helped. They feels like doing self care with a friend. I have been really enjoying the calming serum from Beauty of Joeson and the eye patches from Good Molecules for helping with the redness and puffiness that comes with stressed skin and lots of crying. Sending good wishes your way 🥰
Cassandra, you are a beautiful human both inside and out. You’ve helped so many of us find our inner and outer beauty through your wisdom. Please stop putting so much pressure on yourself and
b-r-e-a-t-h-e… Sending love and positive vibes to you sister. ❤
I’m so sorry you’re suffering physically from suffering mentally :( it’s good to see you taking care of yourself and being open with us. Thank you! You’ll feel better soon ❤
I feel sooo sorry for you! I am depressive since 2003 and traumatized, and I know this if the power is so less that you cannot do the smallest things. Furthermore, I wish you from the deep of my heart the best!!!! I love your channel so much!! You are so inspiring and authentic and honest! Sorry for bad English., Greetings from Germany
Cassandra we need to know how your eyelashes are so luscious without mascara!
We all struggle in life.
We all struggle to keep our sh*t together.
We pretend to be ok with ourselves
But underneath we are suffering 😢
Whatever you are stressing about whatever is making you feel miserable, know that tomorrow is a new day. Its so hard to get outta your head.
Hang in there, having been in a similar sort of spot, sleep or lack of quality sleep impacts every part of your mental and physical life.
AND...thank you for being so authentic and honest in this medium as I know its not easy. Take good care of ourself woman as you would a dear best friend... 💖
I hope you start feeling better Cassandra! Make sure to take YOU time and give yourself grace, we are only human. Hugs!
You are not alone in this❤️you are brave to not afraid to share your pain...please stay strong, anything you go through will go away...just make it as your test until you pass it 😉 I was struggling with some bad stuff and didn't have anyone who could help me...I believe You have great family and friends to be there for You....
We love you cassandra, and appreciate you sharing your vulnerable emotional roller coster. You are strong than you think, all will be well with time.
Thank you so much for being so honest, not only about products but also about your mental health. I can relate, it really helps me to realise I’m not alone, it helps me to pick up my skincare routine again AND it helps me to pick at my skin less (negative stimming habit).
Even though I don’t have the same skin type (I think but atm I really don’t know what’s up with my skin). Because of you I’m learning what my skin needs and what to look for in products
Cassandra, you are Loved, Strong, Very Important & appreciated!♥️ You have helped me & I’m sure many many others with skin issues & care. Which also helps with mental health♥️ Thank you for being there for us & for sharing your journey.♥️Sending LOVE, LIGHT & TIGHT HUGS!♥️♥️♥️
bugger. i think i have sensitive, not damaged skin. no breakouts but skin that goes from pale to flushed, itchy and burning back to pale. and broken capillaries. but someone at a laser clinic said i don't have rosacea. just crap skin.
i would love to get laser but that is a pipe dream.
anyway cass you are gorgeous, i am so grateful to have found you a few weeks ago! thank you!
hey cassandra!! long time fan from texas. sending lots of love your way
Your description of your mental health symptoms sound very similar to what I have going on, which is a combo of ADHD and OCD (actual OCD, not just "I like being neat disease"). Having strategies to outrun and shut down my brain's specific nonsense has really improved my quality of life, so just throwing it out there. I'm glad you're still trying to care for yourself, that's always the hardest part. ❤
