Thank you so much for sharing this story! My great grandmother had a very interesting life. Her father was a Cherokee chief who came to Oklahoma via the Trail of Tears. There were some amazing stories and my uncles were able to video her telling all her stories before she passed away years and years ago. ❤ I completely relate to everything you said about social media. I’ve had to stop looking at IG and TikTok because they are both such a time suck. I’ve had to stop watching some of my favorite channels temporarily because of that feeling of comparison wishing I have all the luxury stuff and travel of others. Sometimes I’m able to return to watching some of their videos but I’m filtering out the ones that produce FOMO. 😢 I love that you keep your channel very relatable!! ❤❤
Wow that’s amazing they got that on video. And that you get to hear those stories being passed down as well. So interesting. And you are not alone on the social media stuff. Soooo easy to get caught up and let the thoughts roll in our minds to no benefit at all. There was a video I saw on TikTok that spoke well on this topic. And how she ended up in the rabbit hole of scrolling and then comparison. Wishing maybe she had this or that or looked like this or that. And then she went on to say, no one will ever be you in history and time. Just one you. For all of time. It’s always nice to hear other ppl speak on it bc you feel less alone. 💕
Thanks for sharing this about your parents and your history. I’ve always kinda wondered about it. Interesting to hear about their experience and yours.
Your content is so soothing. Thanks for sharing your story. I can totally relate to your Instagram experience. I still use it for my business, but barely ever post anything personal anymore but I definitely sometimes feel like I'm missing out by not sharing but then I remind myself that that isn't what I want for my family.
Awe thanks so much 💕 I know what you mean. Def not missing out. If anything we miss out on real life by focusing too much on life on social media. At least that’s how I felt. Gotta find a healthy balance and take out what’s not adding to your life. 💕
I just went on IG after being off of it for months and it was so weird. Everyone’s trying to sell you something or look like a magazine spread of some sort. Your content points out the joy in the little details like a good cup of coffee or meal! Or an awesome pair of lashes 🙂 I loved hearing about how your family got here!and your Dad graduating from college in his 50’s!
I hear you. Social media has changed so much. It isn’t what it was set out to be from the beginning it seems like. I try to use it for good but you def have to have a healthy balance. Thanks for the kind words 💕
Ah the Soviet Union. My mom was bullied in Ukraine by teachers and students for being a Christian and for being from a large family (9 kids) I experienced some of SU life but not too much, bc we migrated in ‘97 when I was 10, so I got to experience some of the good in my country after it became independent. My grandma took me to many Church conferences for Pentecostals back then. We were poor in Ukraine, and I’m so grateful to God that we got out and got the opportunity to come to the states.
Love this.. it’s nice to know your family history. I assumed your parents were Russian….but I didn’t realize they were from Belarus. I guess everyone has a story to tell and we are lucky to enjoy a life in the US… it’s not perfect but ….
Ahh so nice to see you here bc I missed you too! I had a bday reminder for you in my phone and didn’t know how to reach out. I miss that about IG. So happy belated bday! Hope you and family are doing well 💕
🥂 to virtual hangouts so I have two types of lashes on. at the base it’s the brown amazon lashes: amzn.to/4csgzxy they’re pricier for being amazon lashes but very soft and nice warm brown but I wanted more depth so I stacked some black lashes from dark swan on top
Coming back hours later to finish the video haha so comment #2. I really relate to your views on social media. I deleted TikTok, IG and even the RUclips app off my phone. I even had to delete the gmail app (that one sounds odd but maybe from my corporate life to doing YT and brand deals I found I was obsessively checking it too). All of them had such a negative impact on me. What kind of surprised me is that after deleting them (apps I’d spend hours on each day) I didn’t feel like anything was missing from my life. And I think that shows how little they were actually adding and how mindless they really are. Sounds like you have similar feelings too.
I can so relate to what you said. For a period of time I had to remove one of my emails from my mail app bc I would be checking it first thing when I wake up. Usually when people work outside the home, they try not to bring the work home. But with social media or even having your own business, the lines can get so easily blurred. That’s why I think it’s so important to set healthy boundaries. For me it was deleting IG. Thanks for sharing what helped you 💕 I do miss certain aspects of IG like being able to see your stories and ability to chat. But thanks for reaching out here 💕
I literally cooked hotdogs and had chips. Ice cream for desert and we stayed at home. Enjoyed seeing and hearing fireworks nearby later that evening from the comfort of our windows. lol
I definitely miss the simpler, more authentic, less frivolous European life, values and culture. Moving to North America may open new horizons but it's good to stay grounded, remember where we come from and cherish the little things, as you say, because at the end of the day, they are what matters. ♥
I did the same, deleted insta, snapchat and facebook. Only made me happier. :) The only downside was missing out on events and perhaps also losing contact with everyone, but your closest friends, social media really is it's own "world" and deleting some of the major apps, is a bit like breaking up with someone... and starting a new life aka going back to reality. Way healthier for the human mind imo .. yeah, i'm on youtube still, i know :D
Love how you said it. It’s interesting to think we will miss out on this virtual reality, when it’s quite the opposite-we miss out more on real life. Such an interesting phenomenon. Social media is such a big part of life in this day and age so it’s hard to avoid, possible but hard. But I do think it can be good if used for good and in balance. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
@@TashVitorsky Absolutely agree. Well put. Also this technology is incredibly new, so I do believe it may just be a trial and error period, and that the balance is a matter of society having more experience and learning how to live with it and not through it. Just you and I, and many others, having this conversation is a sign of wanting change for the better on a global scale. ❤️
Love how you said it, living with it not through it. It’s so new and already it’s impacted people in significant ways. I hope this conversation continues for many.
Thanks for sharing about your mom and dad .both my mom and dad are no longer alive my dad died in 1986 of cancer and my Mom died in 1994 of empasmia both from smoking cigarettes. Both was great parents I am 51 years old and have a great husband and great little boy tommy he's seven years old goes to second grade very soon as school is back..my husband is a caregiver/ med tech he works in a nursing home. I work in a nursing home in housekeeping we work in different nursing homes .me and my husband been married for five years .I have three sisters and one brother my sisters live in Wichita Kansas my brother live in bowling Green Kentucky .that's a little about me Tash .have a great day 😊💞
Thanks for sharing a bit about your life as well 💕 I’m sorry to hear both of your parents passed away. So they must’ve passed away while you were still very young? That must’ve been so tough. Your attitude towards life in general is to be admired.
@@TashVitorsky thanks I appreciate you saying that Tash life's to short we need to live it to the fullest that we can we never know about tomorrow.have a great day 😊💞
Thanks for sharing about part of your journey! I try to remember to treasure the time and relationships we have. Each day is a gift.
It truly is. And sometimes it’s easy to forget that 💕
I love hearing it. And you’re so right. 🎀🩶
Thank you for sharing. I hope you share more stories like this one.

Ahh so nice to see you here bc I missed you too!
I had a bday reminder for you in my phone and didn’t know how to reach out. I miss that about IG. So happy belated bday! Hope you and family are doing well 💕
I'm sipping a little tea while we have this conversation ❤ Your lashes are luscious. If you can tell me what lashes you are wearing and the map.
🥂 to virtual hangouts
so I have two types of lashes on.
at the base it’s the brown amazon lashes: amzn.to/4csgzxy
they’re pricier for being amazon lashes but very soft and nice warm brown
but I wanted more depth so I stacked some black lashes from dark swan on top
lash map is I believe 12,12,10,10,8
Short and sweet :)
What products do you have on your nails? Love the color!

That sounds like the perfect July 4.
Memories not things that make the moments 💕
@@TashVitorsky Amen! lol

Staying grounded is so important. Otherwise you can get so caught up in stuff that won’t rly matter at the end of life. 💕 totally agree
