I understand the intention behind telling me “I don’t have to explain myself” but as a content creator, you kinda do! Part of posting myself online is opening up the door for a lot of questions, confusion, assumptions…because you only get a percentage of information from my videos. This means that if I want people to understand me and have the right ideas about me or what I’m doing, then I have to communicate extra information for context. I can’t expect viewers to understand something I never explained. It makes me feel better to have the freedom and space to express myself in this way. I like being able to make myself clear, I like giving context and background info where needed. And most of all I like to talk and tell y’all how I’m feeling even if it’s negative sometimes. That’s life. We all have struggles, annoyances, insecurities…this is supposed to be my safe space to speak on those things!
Love the weekly vlogs!! 🥰🥰🥰 please keep em!!! And sprinkle some DIY/party stuff on the side too. Cause sis I need you for my Christmas decor inspiration! I’m still obsessed with the ski lodge one. But unfortunately my apt is too small to recreate that one lol
1st of all I love your vlogs!! 💖💖💖 I understand completely About explaining yourself I do it all the time And then I explain the explanation 😅😅😅😅 So Gurrl do you. I am here for it! Okaaaaaayyyyyy! And this is also a good place to vent so if you need to do that too we got you! 🤗🤗💛💛. I've been with you as long as I have because I enjoy your content be it hair ,makeup ,nails ,clothes ,posting an event, DIY I love it all! Keep the creativity coming. You're doing an excellent job. 💝💝 God Bless Sweetheart. Oh btw I'm from Virginia. Just so you know a Lil about me. A single woman of a 28 yr old daughter and 1 yr old granddaughter. And we love watching RavenElyseTV! 😃😃
Raven idc what anybody says I thought the outfits for culturecon were cute, relatable, and accessible. Honestly it was refreshing to see an outfit that I can wear in my day to day life. You’re still very fashionable! Don’t be discouraged!
I couldn’t agree with this comment more. I watch the fashion girlies and honestly some try too hard and their style is not relatable to the everyday working women with kids/responsibilities other than being fashionistas for a living.
I love the fact that you don't spend thousands on purses and shoes that the majority of your followers will never be able to afford. You buy items that us common folk can afford to go out and purchase if we like your fashions and home goods that you show on your channel. You are practical and wise with your finances. Love that for us.
I think you might like a capsule wardrobe - quality basics that easily mix and match and never go out of style. I wore the same outfits in different colors and patterns every day for work and my coworkers complimented me ALL THE TIME. It didn’t register to them that I was wearing a uniform lol.
You should make a space in your closet for ‘going out’ outfits, like things for trips or big girl outings. Also, it’s not boring to repeat and outfit once or twice, because it’s so much less stressful wearing something you KNOW you look good in instead of stressing what you MIGHT look good in.
Thank you for keeping it real in this video. The societal pressure of “perfectionism ” is so overrated. I found the internal struggles that you’re experiencing totally relatable as a mother, homeowner and as a woman. But fr fr you doing your thang girl, don’t sweat it 🤍
Raven you are AWESOME!! Live your life to please you. Don’t stress over what others think. You don’t have to explain anything to anyone. Keep being you!!
25:22 ravens looks for her parties are always 100% top to bottom, in terms of theme, style, hair, makeup, colour scheme. Talk about cohesion and coordination. Flawless. Even her vacation fits. So yeah, when it is time for her to show up and show out, she has never missed. If you're popping out quickly for a lil event or gig on the side, we're not gonna hold you to it, take it easy.
I think it’s very practical what you said regarding where you’re at with fashion and beauty. I’ve heard so many people say we can “do it all and have it all”. That’s simply not true. If you’re giving the illusion of that, you’re most likely sacrificing somewhere in your life that may not be worth it. If we want to “do it all”, it won’t be well. And if we want to “do it well”, we have to pick a few things only. I appreciate your transparency. 💛
I'm feeling a little aggravated about people judging you about your style and clothes and time...who was it? Do I need to comb through comments? I just need to see something. I'm here in Austin and I've been watching your channel for quite some time. I enjoy it so much and I SEE YOU. For what it's worth, I'm definitely rooting for you AND I understand your frustration.
Im not on Instagram or TikTok so i can't really say anything about that. I only watch you on RUclips 😅 Sadie is a real one, she was in pain but she still attended with her kids!
The thing with tiktok is that once you actually start following people, their content doesn't pop up on the fyp anymore. :( I never see your TikTok content
Exactly. I rarely see content on my FYP. It’s ppl I don’t follow. And Friends no better. I could follow 150 ppl and the same 5 show on my friends. I have to go to their page to see daily content/posts. Otherwise you’d think ppl are not posting 🤷🏻♀️🤦♀️
Weekly vlogs are nostalgic for me . Virgo to Virgo. From college days , to us both being preggo at the same time , to me watching you guys from my newly constructed home . We homegirls as far as I’m concerned! I’m loving the steady growth .. #KeepUpTheGoodWork❤
I don’t think you need a stylist but having a few essential pieces in your wardrobe you can pull out when needed would be helpful. For example a little black dress, a business casual suit, a black pump, a trench coat etc. I think you can just buy matching sets to help save time on styling too. Buy basics / classics and you’ll always have something to wear for any occasion without having to scramble last minute.
Raven, One of the reasons I enjoy your channel is because you are always just simply being you. Keep being you and if people don't like it, oh well. You are successful on social media and you got the this point by being real and genuine. You are creative, smart, beautful, kind and generous. Whatever you do regarding your house, outfits or your future plans with your channel, do whatever is best for you. People are always going to have something to say no matter what you do. Keep up the great work. I always get such wonderful ideas from you. 👍❤😛🎃
Yes hon do a part 5 just show the whole house again. I follow you on all your social media and I love everything you post I'm a DIY mom and grandma you give me so many Ideas...
Whatever you do, I love it. ❤ Whether it's party prep, make-up, trips or just hanging out with Ziya, I dont have any complaints or suggestions because i feel like you are doing you and that's why I'm here!
Raven, you’re doing such a great job at all the many things you do! Your style has evolved & changed over the years & that’s fine, it comes with the nature! You’re always on go, so no, you don’t have the have the perfect outfit for every occasion! There is always room for improvement & it’s great that you are always opening that door for it, but don’t stress yourself out with other people’s opinion! Actually, over the years I’ve taken fashion tips from you!!! 🥰 Happy Sunday 🩷
The behind the scene social media moments And you giving tips , advice or elaborating on what you do recommend or use ect.. I’m a small creator I watch all your videos, it’s just cool that you take time to include that stuff to :) thank you
I love the rants, you are so well articulated. It makes it clear for the people who doesn’t get why you do certain things or just now getting into your videos. Also I really appreciated the Zoe cameo ❤️
That was the best party content ever….can’t stop smiling at how much fun you all seem to be having. Love you and Sadie together she is the wild to your tamed. Going to copy putting money in diapers because babies are expensive blessings
Enjoying the weekly vlogs! The declutter of the garage, storage units, Ziya’s would be good after your Halloween content or after your Christmas content. Either way we are watching!
Hey Raven. Happy Sunday. Enjoying the weekly vlogs. Whenever you post I will watch. Love your party plannings, DIY’s then seeing the end results and parties.
Love seeing your weekly vlogs. You and Ziya are both very beautiful. You are very talented and kind. I love how you blessed a mom by putting money in the box of pampers. 💕🥰
I absolutely ❤ your content and would love to see snippets of your BTS party planning tips from the book. Maybe even some of Chef Tony's tips on timing for the food? I never know how to keep everything warm or when to serve so it's fresh.
I love the weekly vlogs. This brings back what I wanted to see!! We see glimpse of you having fun with your friends. Then show your creative side as well through your diys. Than we see your Motherhood side with Ziya more too. It's like your showing glimpses of each area but not too much of one sided topic. This is good brings back the vlogs you used to do but in such a more updated way. I'm loving what Im seeing. That's my opinion 🎉🎉😊😊❤❤❤
Love you entrance decor for ur house,but what would make it look soo cool if you get a black light and set it up around the area all of ur neon stuff is going to glow !!
Love the weekly vlogs- I'm an Instagram girlie, I don't even use TikTok, but I'm also an auntie in the realest form. 😌I don't get caught up in what's popping so much as I'm focused on what's quick and don't take up too much of my time but still informative and interesting. If that helps at all. Yes! on the fashion girl!!!! They don't know unless they really know.
We love you Raven 💕 Maybe you should order at least 2 new dresses/ nice top every month❤ oh Polly, house of cb, meshki, babyboo all have some great pieces.
Raven I really love your content! You are incredibly talented and creative! Keep being you and doing what you love! Oh and when you blessed that mother by slipping that $20 surprise in the diaper box…🥹🙏🏽❤️ That was so thoughtful and kind! ❤❤❤

I enjoy watching all of your content, decor, diy, mom life everything, keep on doing you ❤❤❤
Love the weekly vlogs!! 🥰🥰🥰 please keep em!!! And sprinkle some DIY/party stuff on the side too. Cause sis I need you for my Christmas decor inspiration! I’m still obsessed with the ski lodge one. But unfortunately my apt is too small to recreate that one lol
What did I to u to be blocked from your Instagram ?
1st of all I love your vlogs!! 💖💖💖 I understand completely About explaining yourself I do it all the time And then I explain the explanation 😅😅😅😅 So Gurrl do you. I am here for it! Okaaaaaayyyyyy!

Loving the weekly vlogs feel like old days 💗🫶🏽
Girly! If you don’t have new clothes just put on pieces that are timeless so you’re not worried about a new trend but always looking stylish :)
Yes a nice capsule wardrobe
I know finding a stylist is difficult but I would love to see someone look at her closet and put together new looks from what she has already!
Raven be kind to yourself! You are an amazing human
Raven keep being you and doing you. Don't let the negative people get to you. You are an amazing mom and creator.
🎯.......what are they doing‼️
Raven idc what anybody says I thought the outfits for culturecon were cute, relatable, and accessible. Honestly it was refreshing to see an outfit that I can wear in my day to day life. You’re still very fashionable! Don’t be discouraged!
I couldn’t agree with this comment more. I watch the fashion girlies and honestly some try too hard and their style is not relatable to the everyday working women with kids/responsibilities other than being fashionistas for a living.
I don’t think they were bad but definitely on the teenage side and not grown woman vibe.
I love the fact that you don't spend thousands on purses and shoes that the majority of your followers will never be able to afford. You buy items that us common folk can afford to go out and purchase if we like your fashions and home goods that you show on your channel. You are practical and wise with your finances. Love that for us.
Agree 100%!
Love your vlogs!
I think you might like a capsule wardrobe - quality basics that easily mix and match and never go out of style.
I wore the same outfits in different colors and patterns every day for work and my coworkers complimented me ALL THE TIME. It didn’t register to them that I was wearing a uniform lol.
LOVING THE WEEKLY VLOGS! This is what we wanted all along!!! 🥰😍😍🫶🏾
You should make a space in your closet for ‘going out’ outfits, like things for trips or big girl outings. Also, it’s not boring to repeat and outfit once or twice, because it’s so much less stressful wearing something you KNOW you look good in instead of stressing what you MIGHT look good in.
I was thinking the same exact thing. Dedicating one day to put together outfits for future events.
@@KytiaLamour it’d be so much less stressful because she’d have things ready to go.
Raven. Do YOU.
Don't care about all of the people judging you.
You are such an amazing person.
Blessings Queen ❤
Raven is an OG fashion girlie! They better stop playing w/ you lol
Yes we love the 1hr long vlogs keep doing them please and thank you
Zooooeeeee!!! It was so great seeing your sweet face!! We miss you!!!
I’m loving the vlogs Raven continue posting on insta and tic tok you’re doing great❤
Feels nostalgic tbh Raven, thank you for the weekly vlogs & consistency! Always looking forward to Sunday’s upload 👋🏾✨
Thank you for keeping it real in this video. The societal pressure of “perfectionism ” is so overrated. I found the internal struggles that you’re experiencing totally relatable as a mother, homeowner and as a woman. But fr fr you doing your thang girl, don’t sweat it 🤍
Amen to not having time! I enjoy you doing the content you do so well and I can tell you love doing it. In my book, that's what counts!
I’m sat. My Sunday isn’t complete without your videos
Raven you are AWESOME!! Live your life to please you. Don’t stress over what others think. You don’t have to explain anything to anyone. Keep being you!!
25:22 ravens looks for her parties are always 100% top to bottom, in terms of theme, style, hair, makeup, colour scheme. Talk about cohesion and coordination. Flawless. Even her vacation fits. So yeah, when it is time for her to show up and show out, she has never missed.

If we want to “do it all”, it won’t be well. And if we want to “do it well”, we have to pick a few things only. I appreciate your transparency. 💛
Raven don't stress yourself out trying to worry about the judgemental people, you do the best you can do at what you're doing at that particular time
Happy Sunday besties! 🎉🎉🎉
2:31 I never had a tiktok 😂 I need to keep my sanity
I’m jealous of you. I need to follow your lead lol
That was sweet what you did with the cash in the pampers box I hope someone who really needs it gets it, u will be blessed Hun
The cut to you sitting under the dryer made me crackle 😂 I was not expecting that
Don’t be so hard on yourself. You’re not a MOM who gave up on yourself you are just using your time wisely on the things that bring you JOY. ❤
You’re voice is nice to listen to,
Please don’t be so hard on yourself!
Loving the weekly vlogs and you just being you! Thank you!
I'm feeling a little aggravated about people judging you about your style and clothes and time...who was it? Do I need to comb through comments? I just need to see something.

Happy Sunday 🤍🤍🤍
Im not on Instagram or TikTok so i can't really say anything about that. I only watch you on RUclips 😅
Sadie is a real one, she was in pain but she still attended with her kids!
I absolutely love your videos and your style ❤❤❤❤❤I especially love the friendship between you and Sadie, you actually look related , such beauties!!
The thing with tiktok is that once you actually start following people, their content doesn't pop up on the fyp anymore. :( I never see your TikTok content
Omg I thought it was just me! Now when I like someone’s content I interact but don’t follow cause I swear that’ll be the last time I see them
Exactly. I rarely see content on my FYP. It’s ppl I don’t follow. And Friends no better. I could follow 150 ppl and the same 5 show on my friends. I have to go to their page to see daily content/posts. Otherwise you’d think ppl are not posting 🤷🏻♀️🤦♀️
Same. I follow hundreds on TT but TT only shows me around 50 - it’s so annoying!
Yep, I have to activity go look for people I follow. My fyp hardly ever has people I follow.
Raven, I think you're very creative, keep doing you sweetheart!!!!!❤😊
Watching you and your friends make the drinks was so hilarious/relatable! We LOVE your content keep doing you, girl! ❤
Hi Raven, I look forward to your weekly videos every Sunday. Thank you! 😊
We like it!! More relaxed and chill…I’m here for it!

👏👏👏👏 from the momma that gets that blessing
PS: you have always reminded me of somebody and it finally hit me Nicole Murphy. I realized it when I saw her on the Tamron Hall Show the other day.😂
The weekly vlogs are watchable because we just get to see more of your personality and how you jungle day to day life which it’s so nice to watch
