Thank you so much for opening up about one of your worse Christmases, because I'm practically going through that exact same thing right now. I'm 27 and broke, unemployed and desperately looking for a job, staying with my parents and feeling so alone and like I'll never climb out of this hole. But hearing that other people have gone through nearly the exact same thing makes me feel a bit more hopeful that things will turn around.
You will climb out! 20s can be absolutely rough. So much change yet so much expectation. Things will turn around then you'll look back at this time and think wow look how far I have come and look how strong I am to overcome this. xx
sending you so much love! i know how you feel and you are not alone ❤️ these hard and lonely times come and go, but it always gets better. many xmas blessings!
One of my favorite quotes is “Be gentle with yourself, you’re doing the best you can.” And that is so true, things will get better, so don’t be hard on yourself. Sending you so much joy this holiday season 🥰
Holidays can be really great but also a really tough time for many, including me, after losing my mom to several cancers & then my 13 year old dog in almost the same year, it's also a hard time. It's also a very tough time to find new employment.. try to keep the new year & new things in mind 💜 sending lots of blessings, you're not alone, just try to keep up on something positive each day, agree thanks to Carrie for sharing & being so real
This video has hit me harder than ever my relationship with my fiancé after 4 years has ended this week and I can’t thank you enough for sharing your thoughts and emotions you have been through
This has been a really rough year for me (and many others in the comments, hugs to all of you) and I REALLY needed the pep talk, and the ugly cry that ensued. You have no idea the impact you have, Carrie. Thank you ♥️
i can tell i needed that message due to the fact that it made me instantly sob. i'm definitely doing better than i was a couple years ago, but at 28 right now, i'm still feeling very suck and not okay most days. i have a hard time with comparing myself and my journey to my peers, so i always appreciate hearing that i'm not alone from you and the lovely people in the comments. i know logically that i'm not always going to feel this way, but your words make me believe it more, so thank you. i appreciate you very much. also i totally understand your struggles with caring for senior pets. 2 years ago i lost both my 15 year old dog and 20 year old cat and watching their aging process and their health decline is just so difficult, especially knowing that ultimately there's not a lot you can do except for making them comfortable and giving them all your love. my heart is with you guys as you navigate this.
Such a tough reality that I learned in the last few years (I'm 33); not every Christmas is going to be the best Christmas ever. Life rolls on and does not care if it's the "most wonderful time of year". Makes you appreciate the years that Christmas has/does felt/feels magical.
Loved your deep hearted talk! I am 28 and I have a great family but this year just SUCKED! My brother was a victim of a drive by and my husband and I are in a horrible financial strain even though we both work very hard but having 3 kids and being in debt and living in an expensive city (to be close to family) is very draining. Other things this year have been bad too and mentally I have never felt so down. But I know it’ll go up from here and I will never get my brother back but I want to do better in life in his honor and be able to help raise his kids ❤ anyway you are so inspiring Carrie ❤
Your folks must be crazy-proud of the woman you have become. I have two incredible daughters of my own, 30 and 35, so I know what I'm talking about. 😉 Love to you, Drew, Layla, and Moo! ❤️
Life has been not so good to me lately. And it really sucks because it’s happening at the time of the year where it’s supposed to be filled with joy and happiness. Thank you so much for your message. I really needed to hear that 💗 sending lots of love to you and yours!
I'm very behind on videos but decided to brighten up my sad Christmas morning by watching your warm and homey vlogs so thank you thank you for sneaking in that pep talk for all of us. I'm seeing that so many of us needed it and I'm feeling less alone ❤️
Thank you for this, I had a baby this year, my grandma passed, I found out my husband had been cheating, filed for divorce and am now in a custody battle. Everyday I just feel like I'm drowning but I know this storm will pass. Sometimes it's just nice for someone to acknowledge that this time of year isn't always the happiest for everyone 💜
Thankyou for what you said about Christmas not feeling like Christmas. The last half of this year had been rough and I lost my grandfather this week. I really needed this, so thank you, truly.
As a 29 year old, currently in 5 year relationship that's on the rocks, broke with too much debt, and the world feels like its crumbling around me. Thank you for sharing. It really hit home for me. I know it will get better eventually but maaaan, it's rough as hell right now. Love you Carrie 💜
I am currently at the end of finals week and unbelievably sick. Luckily vlogmas can keep me company in between passing out. I wanna start youtube in the new year, but I'm so worried my chronically/mentally ill self will get in the way lol. But your vlogs make it seem approachable to just get started
I really needed the pep talk and thank you for that. I lost my mom recently and she loved the holidays, it doesn’t feel the same without her. I’ve felt so lost, and thank you for reassuring me. It really felt like you were talking right to me.
I'm so sorry for your loss Macy. My mum lives with me and has advanced Dementia. She's like a totally different person. It's heartbreaking. No one like your mum. I hope you find some peace over Christmas. God Bless.
Carrie ! I just have to say I’ve been following your vlogs for months now and just LOVE your authenticity in sharing about your life. I’m turning 41 this coming year but still feel like I’m in my 30s cause adhd / inner child issues. 🙃 But I digress! Just love your content /how real you are! Especially the taking makeup off at the end of a night of drinks and Christmas fun, 😂what makeup remover did you use btw ? hope you have a beautiful Christmas and hope your animals stay as Healthy as possible in the new year! ❤❤
I lost one of my senior cats this year and it was SO HARD. I honestly wouldn’t have gotten through it without my mom and close family. Love and hugs to Layla and moo 😘
On your senior animals update.... I totally understand where you're coming from. I have a 15 year old chi who is the sweetest boy in the world and I wouldn't trade it for anything. Having a senior pet is so rewarding but the only downside is sometimes can get expensive. So I just wanted to mention for all your socal followers that Frosted Faces is an AMAZING rescue based in San Diego. They offer free vet services from their facility for life for adopted animals (plus no fees to adopt) and have amazing foster, outing, and volunteer programs. They're a great rescue to provide as many resources as possible for senior pet adopters!
It was so nice to hear another senior pet parent talk about having a senior dog. I got my girl when she was already 10, but since she’s turned 15, her health has deteriorated rapidly. It’s both heart-and-bank-account breaking, haha. My pup has a heart condition and is on multiple meds multiple times a day. It’s tough on my heart and just watching her agility and energy change so much so quickly. I wouldn’t have it any other way, but it’s exhausting.
I'm 27 and (finally) just starting my career after 7 years of school and it is so relieving to hear where you were just 5 to 6 years ago. I've been struggling to make ends meet since 18 and it feels like I'll never get out of this monetary rut. I keep feeling like I'm too old to still be doing this, being at the edge of 30. I'm a lot more hopeful now that the end of my 20's and my 30's will hopefully be better. Thank you 😊
Carrie thank you for sharing your heart…. Without going into detail, just know I needed to hear that and I so appreciate your little corner of the internet❤️
Thank you so much for talking about one of your worst Christmases, I've been going through one of the roughest years of my life. My grandfather passed away expectedly at the beginning of this year, I lost my job unexpectedly a few months ago and finding work has been so tough, and my mental health is the worst its been in a while. But being able to sit down with my dog at night (currently snoring beside me), I feel a bit lighter. Your videos are always so refreshing for me, it always feels like I'm catching up with a good friend. Thanks for the comfort tonight I really needed it ❤
What a fun night! Your friend seems like a blast! I had a really rough Christmas 2020. I was pregnant, working covid units, and everything felt dark and scary all the time. I honestly blocked most of it out but it makes me sad I can't remember that holiday season with my other young kids.
Absolutely LOVE your vlogs Carrie 💖 and I needed to hear your beautiful reminder things will get better. Thank you for being so real and so open hearted - appreciate you! ☺️
Yeah 5-6 years ago was also my worst Christmas. It was my moms last Christmas (she passed away the day after New Years). Put me in a spiral lol This Christmas is going to be rough too. My boyfriend just lost his job yesterday and I’m unemployed :/ here’s hoping the new year is better
I needed to hear that it gets better… It’s my first christmas alone and not having a boyfriend during this time felt really lonely. Thanks for giving me hope ❤
Me, 38 watching this with my senior pup who I got when I turned 26. It can be really, really hard but also totally worth it all. Thanks for being a senior pet advocate! ♥
Talking about your elderly babies brought out those tears for me 🥺 my cat was killed earlier this year. He was my last childhood pet and I never got to see him grow old. Such a blessing to have our old babies.
I love your personality and videos always Carrie! Thanks for sharing with us bits of your life. So proud of you and how far you’ve come! Your videos always brighten my day. Thank you for all the hard work you put into your videos! ❤❤❤🤗 I also wanted to say you sharing about your worst Christmases helps as I’ve been through a few Christmases like that. I felt like I’d never feel better but there was a light at the end of the tunnel indeed. Keep on keeping on everyone remember your loved no matter what!❤❤❤
Thank you for being so vulnerable with us in this space ❤️ as shitty as it is many of us have had similar experiences, it’s reassuring to know we’re not alone! This also reminded me of Elyse Meyers’ video about sticking around 🥰
I was catching up on your vlogs today and as soon as you started talking about your senior pets it was hitting home for me. Today I said goodbye to my (nearly 17 year old) senior cat. I feel shattered and broken without her being my shadow. Thank you for sharing your journey with your senior babies. It can be such a tough thing to come to terms with, to watch them ageing, but Layla and Moo are so lucky to have such loving parents. x x x
aww🥺 thank you for your message I'm going through a really tough time in my life and I really needed to hear this. Seriously thank you it makes me feel there's still hope in my future💖✨
Big Sis, thank you, I needed this pep talk. Last Christmas was shit, and I hoped this year would be better, but so far it is worse. Job cut hours, family drama and falling apart, my grandma broke her leg cause my grandpa accidentally ran over her with the truck (I wish I was lying). I am desperately trying to stay positive and just be thankful for what I do have
Hi Carrie happy vlogmas day and happy December and happy winter season and this was amazing video I enjoy your channel because you are amazing Supporter
I so needed to hear your story and that ir will get better. Thank you for sharing. This year Christmas doesn't feel like Christmas, there is so much things going on and nothing feels as it should. Again, thank you.
i had to end my mini vlogmas early because i got an infection, not the covid , id hang out with you also you seem so fun and i think we are close to the same age too !
Thank you so much for opening up to us. You're always so genuine and honest with us. I really needed that talk right now. It made me bawl. Thank you so much. 💜
Damn thank you so much for sharing about your worste year and the journey since then to living your dream life! I am so so happy for you! It is super inspiring💖
I feel for you with the senior pets. I put my best friend down a couple weeks back and it was by the far the HARDEST day of my life. But I wouldn’t have changed anything for the world. It’s so painful and expensive and all consuming but it’s so so worth it ❤
You’re so cute! I love these blogs. It really feels like I’m hanging out with a friend. I also have a senior dog and I’ve had her since I was 15. She’s turning 12 in January. She means the world to me and it’s very difficult to see her getting older
Been loviing following your low key Christmas activities - and inspired to add a bit of easy HO HO HO magic into our routine. When you dont have kids, work by yourself and live away from your family, you really have to find your own fun!
Hahaha literally broke up with my fiancé of six years ON CHRISTMAS in 2020. On top of not having Christmas with family because of COVID. And having just graduated college without a graduation. And then moving my entire life states away days later. It makes it a hard day, still. It’s getting a lot better obviously, but it was like the worst day of my life. Solidarity to anyone that’s feeling this way 💗
Thank you Carrie. I’m hurting right now. I’m in a situationship with a girl, struggling to come out, learning to accept myself. It’s been an extremely rough year to say the least. I needed to hear this message. I hope it gets better as I just turned 30 and I feel like I’m “too old” to be having such an identity crisis.
Thank you for sharing! My car just got totaled and it definitely put a wrench in my Christmas plans. My fiancé is banged up, but thankfully nothing is broken. My mental health isn’t great and christmases aren’t easy in general, so I’m grateful for life to come.
Love hearing you just chat about life. We put our senior dog down august 2020 and it was the hardest day of my life. Truly. He was 12 years old and had cancer (surgery would have been over $20K and no guarantee that he would survive) I’ve never cried so much in my life. Worst heartbreak.
I'm 36 and I've tried opening up to my cousin in her 20's about how life gets way better. She's extremely down all the time. I used to be there too. But I feel like every time I try to relay the message, it just comes out hella corny. I sound like some motivational poster and I can't stand it. Lol! Your way of describing your past situation is so genuine. Wish mine came out that way.
I know you probably won’t see this since I’m watching a little late, but I am in such a similar situation currently to what you were talking about. Literally just listened to that song like 20 times today, have so much family shit going on, am broke, got out of an 8 year relationship where he cheated this year, my 29th birthday was yesterday, and I’m feeling awful about myself and where I’m at in life. Definitely needed to hear that message. Thank you and sending you love 💕
ugh i love you!! i got laid off at the beginning of this month and finding a new job has been so draining and difficult and those kind words really meant a lot ❤
Ok the shot of you at the end with your lips stick, you made me upset my cat. I laughed so loud. It was completely worth it. I LOVE! 😆 the craziness that you recorded this just before the loss of seet Twitch...as someone who has struggled with mental health my entire life, my heart bleeds for anyone who feels like the world is better off without them on this planet...my heart just breaks...YOU ARE ENOUGH AND BAD DAYS WILL COME BUT THEY WONT ALWAYS BE BAD DAYS. the world will miss you, I PROMISE!
HI! Have been a long time follower of yours, fellow 34 yr old here and love your content! That Christmas bar was everything! Thanks for sharing what you do here on the interwebs. :) I'm here for it!! Happy Holidays
Hi Carrie, i have 2 senior cats. They are both 15 years old. One of them is sick, has kidney failure. So he needs his meds everyday. It's hard but he's still here and happy. Our pets are our children. So i will do everything to give them the best life. Last year i had to put my 16 year old cat down. I had her 15 years. I cried so much and the pain of losing her still makes me cry. Now i know how it feels to lose a pet. And i'm afraid of losing my others cats. Love and enjoy your furbabies. The time you have with them is so precious. Thank you for being there. You feel like a friend that's cares. Live your best life Carrie. Love you ❤
Thank you so much for that little heart to heart 🤍 it was exactly what I needed to hear, these past couple of years have been extremely difficult and I feel like I’m going into a really transitional period in my life and that’s terrifying but also exciting and I think I needed the reminder that it can get better. Sending lots of love to everyone that feels similarly and I hope nothing but the best for the next season of life
Omg I needed this today. You're on a loop on my TV today as I move into the spare bedroom of the house that my (now ex) fiance and I bought last year. He's leaving for his family Christmas and I'm staying here alone today, crying and breaking my own heart. I have no money and don't know where I'm going to live or what I'm going to do. Thank you for sharing your story.
Totally understand the pet stress. My cat is watching with me rn and she has terminal cancer. She actually had a bad night last night so I think the end is coming soon, but I’ll be here for her until it happens.
Love you both too Carrie. You don't know what people are going through. Heard about poor Twitch today and I just can't understand how someone can be so poorly that the only way out for them is to end their life. I wish there was much more help available. I can't stop thinking about him and what his family must be going through. Our Mental healthcare is Rubbish here in the UK now when so many people need help especially at the minute. Christmas is an extremely sad time for many people.
I wish there was a reset button for senior pets so they can feel better. For the future don't forget pet insurance when they're young. The Xmas bar & the drinks were cute
Thank you so much for opening up about one of your worse Christmases, because I'm practically going through that exact same thing right now. I'm 27 and broke, unemployed and desperately looking for a job, staying with my parents and feeling so alone and like I'll never climb out of this hole. But hearing that other people have gone through nearly the exact same thing makes me feel a bit more hopeful that things will turn around.
You will climb out! 20s can be absolutely rough. So much change yet so much expectation. Things will turn around then you'll look back at this time and think wow look how far I have come and look how strong I am to overcome this. xx
sending you so much love! i know how you feel and you are not alone ❤️ these hard and lonely times come and go, but it always gets better. many xmas blessings!
One of my favorite quotes is “Be gentle with yourself, you’re doing the best you can.” And that is so true, things will get better, so don’t be hard on yourself. Sending you so much joy this holiday season 🥰
I've been here before and just know that you will get out. Be patient and kind to yourself in the meantime ❤️
Holidays can be really great but also a really tough time for many, including me, after losing my mom to several cancers & then my 13 year old dog in almost the same year, it's also a hard time. It's also a very tough time to find new employment.. try to keep the new year & new things in mind 💜 sending lots of blessings, you're not alone, just try to keep up on something positive each day, agree thanks to Carrie for sharing & being so real
The dichotomy of the deep chats and the ending. We love a gal with RANGE
she said: trauma dump then get drunk ✨
This video has hit me harder than ever my relationship with my fiancé after 4 years has ended this week and I can’t thank you enough for sharing your thoughts and emotions you have been through
This has been a really rough year for me (and many others in the comments, hugs to all of you) and I REALLY needed the pep talk, and the ugly cry that ensued. You have no idea the impact you have, Carrie. Thank you ♥️

Your folks must be crazy-proud of the woman you have become. I have two incredible daughters of my own, 30 and 35, so I know what I'm talking about. 😉
Love to you, Drew, Layla, and Moo! ❤️
Life has been not so good to me lately. And it really sucks because it’s happening at the time of the year where it’s supposed to be filled with joy and happiness. Thank you so much for your message. I really needed to hear that 💗 sending lots of love to you and yours!
Oh my gosh❤️ this was so loving. I’ll forever be happy I found Carrie, drew, Layla, and moo🥹

My 15 y.o. dog passed earlier this year and its been so heart shattering. The holidays don't feel right without her here. 💔
Thankyou for what you said about Christmas not feeling like Christmas. The last half of this year had been rough and I lost my grandfather this week. I really needed this, so thank you, truly.
As a 29 year old, currently in 5 year relationship that's on the rocks, broke with too much debt, and the world feels like its crumbling around me. Thank you for sharing. It really hit home for me. I know it will get better eventually but maaaan, it's rough as hell right now. Love you Carrie 💜
I am currently at the end of finals week and unbelievably sick. Luckily vlogmas can keep me company in between passing out. I wanna start youtube in the new year, but I'm so worried my chronically/mentally ill self will get in the way lol. But your vlogs make it seem approachable to just get started
I really needed the pep talk and thank you for that. I lost my mom recently and she loved the holidays, it doesn’t feel the same without her. I’ve felt so lost, and thank you for reassuring me. It really felt like you were talking right to me.
I'm so sorry for your loss Macy.
My mum lives with me and has advanced Dementia. She's like a totally different person. It's heartbreaking. No one like your mum. I hope you find some peace over Christmas. God Bless.
Thank you so much Carrie. I had a really hard year and have been in a really bad place. Your talk really helped me
Carrie ! I just have to say I’ve been following your vlogs for months now and just LOVE your authenticity in sharing about your life.

this vlog gave me all the good vibes i needed while simultaneously feeling like i could cry 😂 my bunny thumper sends love to layla and moo 💖
this video felt like a facetime call with your big sis 🧡🧡

That bar 🎉 cheers Carrie and Merry Christmas to you, Drew, layla and Moo ❤🎄🎅 xxxx
Thank you so much for talking about one of your worst Christmases, I've been going through one of the roughest years of my life. My grandfather passed away expectedly at the beginning of this year, I lost my job unexpectedly a few months ago and finding work has been so tough, and my mental health is the worst its been in a while.

Absolutely LOVE your vlogs Carrie 💖 and I needed to hear your beautiful reminder things will get better. Thank you for being so real and so open hearted - appreciate you! ☺️
Thank you for that deep, heart to heart talk. I needed that. Oh...and the wonderful Frageely Leg Lamp!!! Love you, Carrie!
Yeah 5-6 years ago was also my worst Christmas. It was my moms last Christmas (she passed away the day after New Years). Put me in a spiral lol
This Christmas is going to be rough too. My boyfriend just lost his job yesterday and I’m unemployed :/ here’s hoping the new year is better
I needed to hear that it gets better… It’s my first christmas alone and not having a boyfriend during this time felt really lonely. Thanks for giving me hope ❤
I'm bracing myself for Christmas this year too. Breakup pain and the knowledge of a new girl meeting his family.
Me, 38 watching this with my senior pup who I got when I turned 26. It can be really, really hard but also totally worth it all. Thanks for being a senior pet advocate! ♥
I really needed to hear this right now. I’m in the middle of college and just contemplating my life choices and this gave me hope. ❤
Talking about your elderly babies brought out those tears for me 🥺 my cat was killed earlier this year. He was my last childhood pet and I never got to see him grow old. Such a blessing to have our old babies.
Thank you for sharing moments of your life. The good, bad, and in between. It helped me today!
I love your personality and videos always Carrie! Thanks for sharing with us bits of your life. So proud of you and how far you’ve come! Your videos always brighten my day. Thank you for all the hard work you put into your videos! ❤❤❤🤗 I also wanted to say you sharing about your worst Christmases helps as I’ve been through a few Christmases like that. I felt like I’d never feel better but there was a light at the end of the tunnel indeed. Keep on keeping on everyone remember your loved no matter what!❤❤❤
Thank you for being so vulnerable with us in this space ❤️ as shitty as it is many of us have had similar experiences, it’s reassuring to know we’re not alone! This also reminded me of Elyse Meyers’ video about sticking around 🥰
I was catching up on your vlogs today and as soon as you started talking about your senior pets it was hitting home for me. Today I said goodbye to my (nearly 17 year old) senior cat. I feel shattered and broken without her being my shadow. Thank you for sharing your journey with your senior babies. It can be such a tough thing to come to terms with, to watch them ageing, but Layla and Moo are so lucky to have such loving parents. x x x
Thank you for opening up I'm actually struggling this Christmas so I need it.
Thank You Girl! Truly. Needed to hear this tonight and know that others feel the same way ❤️
aww🥺 thank you for your message I'm going through a really tough time in my life and I really needed to hear this. Seriously thank you it makes me feel there's still hope in my future💖✨
Big Sis, thank you, I needed this pep talk. Last Christmas was shit, and I hoped this year would be better, but so far it is worse.
Job cut hours, family drama and falling apart, my grandma broke her leg cause my grandpa accidentally ran over her with the truck (I wish I was lying).
I am desperately trying to stay positive and just be thankful for what I do have
Love that you ended with the makeup melting off process. Lol how fun!
Hi Carrie happy vlogmas day and happy December and happy winter season and this was amazing video I enjoy your channel because you are amazing Supporter
I so needed to hear your story and that ir will get better. Thank you for sharing. This year Christmas doesn't feel like Christmas, there is so much things going on and nothing feels as it should. Again, thank you.
i had to end my mini vlogmas early because i got an infection, not the covid , id hang out with you also you seem so fun and i think we are close to the same age too !
you looked absolutely gorgeous!! what a cute bar too, loved the christmas vibes 💕🤗
Thank you so much for opening up to us. You're always so genuine and honest with us. I really needed that talk right now. It made me bawl. Thank you so much. 💜
Damn thank you so much for sharing about your worste year and the journey since then to living your dream life! I am so so happy for you! It is super inspiring💖
ugh. Love you so much bestie. glad you’re doing this. 💝
Ok this outfit just inspired my NYE look. Just ordered the pieces to recreate it LOL
We love love love the Miracle Christmas pop up bar. We go every year when it comes to SF. I’m a sucker for a good themed bar
Sending love and healing vibes to Moo & Layla. ❤️❤️
Lady, what?! I didn't know you had the voice of an angel 😇
Thanks for the chat! 🖤
I feel for you with the senior pets. I put my best friend down a couple weeks back and it was by the far the HARDEST day of my life. But I wouldn’t have changed anything for the world. It’s so painful and expensive and all consuming but it’s so so worth it ❤
You’re so cute! I love these blogs. It really feels like I’m hanging out with a friend. I also have a senior dog and I’ve had her since I was 15. She’s turning 12 in January. She means the world to me and it’s very difficult to see her getting older
I needed this today. Thank you Carrie ❤
Been loviing following your low key Christmas activities - and inspired to add a bit of easy HO HO HO magic into our routine. When you dont have kids, work by yourself and live away from your family, you really have to find your own fun!
God bless your pets for their happy and comfortable life with you and Drew. 🌲Merry Christmas 🌲 to your family! Love you and your vids ❤
Hahaha literally broke up with my fiancé of six years ON CHRISTMAS in 2020. On top of not having Christmas with family because of COVID. And having just graduated college without a graduation. And then moving my entire life states away days later. It makes it a hard day, still. It’s getting a lot better obviously, but it was like the worst day of my life. Solidarity to anyone that’s feeling this way 💗
Thank you for the pep talk, I did need it
Thank you Carrie. I’m hurting right now. I’m in a situationship with a girl, struggling to come out, learning to accept myself. It’s been an extremely rough year to say the least. I needed to hear this message. I hope it gets better as I just turned 30 and I feel like I’m “too old” to be having such an identity crisis.
You are the most wholesome human. Love you so much Carrie ❤❤❤
Omggg i was ded 💀 not the ending making me die laughing you’re so beautiful! Love yaaaa
Thank you for sharing! My car just got totaled and it definitely put a wrench in my Christmas plans. My fiancé is banged up, but thankfully nothing is broken. My mental health isn’t great and christmases aren’t easy in general, so I’m grateful for life to come.
How did I not know you sing!! Your voice is very beautiful❤
I really needed this today. Thank you.
Thank you so much for sharing the realness , Carrie ! 🥰
Love hearing you just chat about life. We put our senior dog down august 2020 and it was the hardest day of my life. Truly. He was 12 years old and had cancer (surgery would have been over $20K and no guarantee that he would survive) I’ve never cried so much in my life. Worst heartbreak.
I'm so sorry for your loss ❤
I'm 36 and I've tried opening up to my cousin in her 20's about how life gets way better. She's extremely down all the time. I used to be there too. But I feel like every time I try to relay the message, it just comes out hella corny. I sound like some motivational poster and I can't stand it. Lol! Your way of describing your past situation is so genuine. Wish mine came out that way.
I know you probably won’t see this since I’m watching a little late, but I am in such a similar situation currently to what you were talking about. Literally just listened to that song like 20 times today, have so much family shit going on, am broke, got out of an 8 year relationship where he cheated this year, my 29th birthday was yesterday, and I’m feeling awful about myself and where I’m at in life. Definitely needed to hear that message. Thank you and sending you love 💕
More videos of you singing please 😊 it was so comforting
This vlog was iconic ✨ love you so much ❤️
ugh i love you!! i got laid off at the beginning of this month and finding a new job has been so draining and difficult and those kind words really meant a lot ❤
Ok the shot of you at the end with your lips stick, you made me upset my cat. I laughed so loud. It was completely worth it. I LOVE! 😆 the craziness that you recorded this just before the loss of seet Twitch...as someone who has struggled with mental health my entire life, my heart bleeds for anyone who feels like the world is better off without them on this planet...my heart just breaks...YOU ARE ENOUGH AND BAD DAYS WILL COME BUT THEY WONT ALWAYS BE BAD DAYS. the world will miss you, I PROMISE!
HI! Have been a long time follower of yours, fellow 34 yr old here and love your content! That Christmas bar was everything! Thanks for sharing what you do here on the interwebs. :) I'm here for it!! Happy Holidays
Carrie brings back the side part by accident 🤣
"give them the best rest of their lives possible"
Hi Carrie, i have 2 senior cats. They are both 15 years old. One of them is sick, has kidney failure. So he needs his meds everyday. It's hard but he's still here and happy. Our pets are our children. So i will do everything to give them the best life. Last year i had to put my 16 year old cat down. I had her 15 years. I cried so much and the pain of losing her still makes me cry. Now i know how it feels to lose a pet. And i'm afraid of losing my others cats. Love and enjoy your furbabies. The time you have with them is so precious. Thank you for being there. You feel like a friend that's cares. Live your best life Carrie. Love you ❤
Exactly what I needed! Loved this vlog.
Thank you so much for that little heart to heart 🤍 it was exactly what I needed to hear, these past couple of years have been extremely difficult and I feel like I’m going into a really transitional period in my life and that’s terrifying but also exciting and I think I needed the reminder that it can get better. Sending lots of love to everyone that feels similarly and I hope nothing but the best for the next season of life
I love tap water
Love these vlogs !! ❤
Carrie your voice is so beautiful!! ❤
Christmas is hard. Thank you for sharing ❤
Is the Christmas bar Christmas-y year round?
Omg I needed this today. You're on a loop on my TV today as I move into the spare bedroom of the house that my (now ex) fiance and I bought last year. He's leaving for his family Christmas and I'm staying here alone today, crying and breaking my own heart. I have no money and don't know where I'm going to live or what I'm going to do. Thank you for sharing your story.
Totally understand the pet stress. My cat is watching with me rn and she has terminal cancer. She actually had a bad night last night so I think the end is coming soon, but I’ll be here for her until it happens.
Your friend Laura is genuinely the funniest fuckin person 🤣
Watching with my cat
Your voice is so beautiful!!
Love you both too Carrie. You don't know what people are going through. Heard about poor Twitch today and I just can't understand how someone can be so poorly that the only way out for them is to end their life. I wish there was much more help available. I can't stop thinking about him and what his family must be going through. Our Mental healthcare is Rubbish here in the UK now when so many people need help especially at the minute.
Christmas is an extremely sad time for many people.
Carrie making me tear up in this vlog 🥺❤
I wish there was a reset button for senior pets so they can feel better. For the future don't forget pet insurance when they're young. The Xmas bar & the drinks were cute
Best ending ever!!!!!!!😂😂😂❤
