It think our relationship with our parents drastically changes once we let them step down from the pedestal on which we put them, and allow them to be flawed human beings. that's how as a girl, we learn to let go of the legacy of low self-esteem that our mothers gave us as emotional inheritence. once you understand that her approach to your body image was a combination of her insecurities and her desperate attempt to shield you from it, it gives you permission to let go those damaging thoughts. you don't have to carry her insecurities in your bones until they become yours. you can let go
I really try to get this across to my 18 year old son; That I am human at the end of the day, I'm scare, I cry when I think I've failed and I need acceptance and praise from him as he needs it from me.
Hang in there. I think that at 18, I was still looking up to my parents as superhuman perfect beings. and I know for sure that this is is the reason why we argued a lot, because I kept holding them to impossible standards and didn't even think I could hurt their feelings. please find some comfort in the fact that I eventually got it, and hopefully your son will too.
Thank you so much, everyone, for contributing to the conversation! Means a lot to us that you're inspired to talk about important subjects and share your stories :)
Mom had me tearing up when she stated that you needed to own that someone would be lucky to have you. That hit me hard as well. That was a beautiful thing your mom wished for you.
Love these two! It's almost like seeing some weird form of internet friends/rolemodels on the screen....seeing them grow and finally get the exposure after so many years of great work makes me really happy. I can honestly say that these two women shaped who I am today :)
I’m almost 45. My youngest is almost 18. It’s so hard because you think that you’re doing the right thing and then your kids come to you and tell you how it hurt them. It’s the worst. We only want the best for our kids. There’s no manual for parenting. 💕💐
Thank you so much Ona, we think so too! If you want to see more content from The Skin Deep, please support and share our kickstarter :) theskindeep.com/kickstarter
Lily and Elisa, you are both so freaking beautiful and I love you both so much ! So glad to see you here, StyleLikeU and The And are my two favourite channels on RUclips. :) Wish you all the best !!!
I don't know how (I didn't read the caption) but from the moment this video started I knew it was the mother/daughter duo from StyleLikeU. This is mad trippy. StyleLikeU and The Skin Deep are my life and have changed the core of who I am as a person. From the relationship I have with myself (StyleLikeU) and the relationships I have with others (The Skin Deep). Honestly can't thank all the people involved enough for the amazing work you're doing. I hope both projects get enough funding to continue the tough work of challenging mindsets and promoting all kinds of love. I write this with all the love in the world, from South Africa
I think that a lot of mothers have felt more of a pressure to help their daughters mold their bodies and themselves, in order to be acceptable, in order to be good enough, in order to deserve love.... and yet all of those mothers want their daughters to have a concept of how much they are worth and how much they deserve. Let us with this generation ladies, teach our daughters to love and appreciate themselves from the start and right through :)
Loved this so much!! I have an idea.. what if you guys did an entire episode of the two people speaking in their own language? like Spanish or French or you know whatever they speak just to hear them speak would be amazing! then add the words to the bottom of the screen so people understand of course haha. I know it a lot of work but I feel like it would be cool, just a thought :)
Thanks for the feedback! We have Rosa & Jhein in Dutch! ruclips.net/video/7tM2AcZJ9UU/видео.html. Also, please do check out our kickstarter campaign! Not only will it help us take {The And} global, but it will allow us to keep {The And} alive: theskindeep.com/kickstarter
LOVE stylelikeu! If you guys like these videos, watch theirs too! Same kind of beautiful vulnerability, just with solo interviews and a hint of style/fashion/taste consciousness.
Omg I recognized them immediately! Please go check out style by u it's so incredible what they do over there as well. Definitely complements the skin deep!
I just donated to for the and global project. I can't wait to see more videos worldwide! It's such a brilliant idea. ;) And it's so inspiring!! I'm living abroad in China actually and this would be so fascinating here since the culture is extremely different. ;)
The mother seems like she's tough, but there's love, and I respect that. Maybe because that's how I grew up. Now that I'm a parent, I see how being one is not for the weak or selfish. Toughest job I ever had, but I love it.
Hey guys, just seen this. I am suffering from the neck issue to but! Drinking collogen and using products with it in will help. Just back from Thailand where I cleaned the place out. DM me if you are interested in knowing what they are. You can keep up the good work. 😊
We have a few relationship where immigration stories are shared so far! We have Alice & Quinn: ruclips.net/video/xZolMZMRqQQ/видео.html, Joanna & Dacong: ruclips.net/video/K0eM0kSWOaY/видео.html, David & Adama: ruclips.net/video/LQlrOsm-e-I/видео.html, Alexa & Alejandra: ruclips.net/video/6mcyD5fsgIU/видео.html, and Grace & Ivan: ruclips.net/video/sHrM2y7TDlI/видео.html, and be sure to check out our series The Window with Khalil's story of immigration detention: ruclips.net/video/ryVEEidSb9g/видео.html
I love this project however I don't understand why you're doing this. With only 84k subscribers it will be pratically impossible to raise 200k so why are you shutting down The Skin Deep if you don't reach that goal? These are my favourite videos to watch on youtube! It would be a shame to lose them over a naive purpose. I'm sorry if I sound too harsh
See but it's not ! I thought the same, that 200k was too steep, but to put things in perspective if every subscriber donated $2 the project would be funded! So the goal is actually VERY attainable. And for example if you donated $10 instead of just 2 then we'd reach the goal even faster because one subscriber would be doing the work of five! 14 whole days left we can do thisssss
@Luna Girl I just think you're fooling yourself... I love their concept but not enough to give money. I'm sure a lot of people think like me, others might be minors who can't donate, others might not have a credit card. I hope they achieve their goal, I just find it excessive for the amount of followers they have
I too think that 200k is a big ask if the reliance is purely on subscribers / viewers donating to reach the target. I'd of course love to be VERY wrong.
Hi Joana, thank you for sharing your thoughts, we always love feedback from our audience. The reality is, we need funding to keep {THE AND} going, in Brooklyn or anywhere else. At The Skin Deep, we do everything we do with our hearts first, and what feels right moving forward. We know there is a value, importance, & responsibility that goes along with sharing these stories, and going global was the natural next step in order to encompass the very, very wide spectrum of human relationships around the world. We wanted to lead this Kickstarter campaign with our positive end goal, and not focus on the reality of needing financial support to stay in operation. We believe in these stories, we believe in our team, and most of all we believe in viewers like you, who value what it means to be connected. We do need your support to keep producing content that remind us to keep love in our hearts, and we are grateful for all the love we get in return :) theskindeep.com/kickstarter
I don't like these videos. But I love stylelikeyou. I don't know, The skin deep feels too intimate for me. Like I'm watching something I'm not suppose to watch.
I just tried to donate but Kickstarter only accepts Visa, MasterCard, American Express or Discover :( I don't have those, just a debit card and a Paypal Account...
Nick from The Skin Deep, I got a proposition for you. I'm willing to donate 250 dollars to the campaign in exchange for a date with you. What do you say?

Thank you. He's getting it, he's away at college but calls to check if I'm ok, not only ask for stuff😊
Wow. I think it opened my mind. Thank you. I think it could help us to start a conversation which coud help fixing the relationship.
Thank you so much, everyone, for contributing to the conversation! Means a lot to us that you're inspired to talk about important subjects and share your stories :)
Mom had me tearing up when she stated that you needed to own that someone would be lucky to have you. That hit me hard as well. That was a beautiful thing your mom wished for you.
"You've given me no excuse to be a victim, ever" What a wonderful thing to hear from your daughter! Good job mom!!!
My 2 favourite channels on youtube (The And & StyleLikeU) combined!!! What!! Mind blown!!!! LOVE THIS
Yay! So happy you enjoy :) to see more stories & collaborations, support & share our kickstarter! theskindeep.com/kickstarter
Love these two! It's almost like seeing some weird form of internet friends/rolemodels on the screen....seeing them grow and finally get the exposure after so many years of great work makes me really happy. I can honestly say that these two women shaped who I am today :)
The ending was so beautiful.

That's why they need us to donate to their kick starter page!!

The Skin Deep When you say global does that include a studio/filming space in say Florida?
They are so beautifully honest and safe with each other. ❤️
LOVE stylelikeu! If you guys like these videos, watch theirs too! Same kind of beautiful vulnerability, just with solo interviews and a hint of style/fashion/taste consciousness.
You ladies kill me! Such honesty. Thank you and I love you.
Legit my two favourite channels combined yassssss
YASS! Who would you like to see next on {THE AND}??
wow. I've never had such an honest conversation like this with my mom, but I think it would deeply benefit our relationship
the and and stylelikeu are like my two fav things holy shit!!!
Ugh tears after this one!! Loved these two I'll need to check out their channel. Thank goodness Nick was at the end to help comfort me! 😭
Omg this is just the best collab ever! You guys killed! 👏🏾
That was beautiful the end part made me cry. I love these videos. 😢❤
Please check out our kickstarter campaign. We can't keep making {The And} without your support! theskindeep.com/kickstarter
I can't belive you don't have many more subs. Maybe you should also encourage and remind people to subcribe
This is beautiful. Such inspirational women. And Lily's response to "Why do you love me" is probably the highest compliment a parent can be payed.
omg I'm literally fangirling that these two projects have crossed!!!!
We're so excited too!
Jesus.... do they ever not make me cry?! Elisa and Lily are so.fucking.beautiful. In the most real way.
I loved this one. You can tell they have a strong healthy relationship. :)
Omg I recognized them immediately! Please go check out style by u it's so incredible what they do over there as well. Definitely complements the skin deep!
Omg the stylelikeu meets the skin deep! This is so exciting
To be honest there both really pretty but just have some deep down issues that need to be resolved
Yay! These two channels together! ❤
I absolutely love their work, the StyleLikeU what's underneath series is my favourite thing on RUclips... Tied with The And ;)
Perfect combination :)
I love StyleLikeYou, especially the What's Underneath project.
What a cool collaboration between the two projects/visions
I LOVE STYLE LIKE YOU ❤️
I LOVE their style!
I just donated to for the and global project. I can't wait to see more videos worldwide! It's such a brilliant idea. ;) And it's so inspiring!! I'm living abroad in China actually and this would be so fascinating here since the culture is extremely different. ;)
Thank you so much for the support!!! It means a lot to us
& please share the kickstarter campaign with your friends and family!
style like u makers!love them! followed them on Instagram!
That was so amazing to watch!!
The mother seems like she's tough, but there's love, and I respect that. Maybe because that's how I grew up. Now that I'm a parent, I see how being one is not for the weak or selfish. Toughest job I ever had, but I love it.
I knew her voice before I even read the bio lol 😂 you can tell I watch a lot of her. stylelikeu stuff
I like their channel.
the last question!!
I would love to see a picture of the mother at her daughter's age. Because you can see the stress of life all over her body.
I love their videos ❤️
this is so fckn excruciating... thankyou so much for this
I loved this
Wonderful.
Hey guys, just seen this. I am suffering from the neck issue to but! Drinking collogen and using products with it in will help. Just back from Thailand where I cleaned the place out. DM me if you are interested in knowing what they are. You can keep up the good work. 😊
they're so beautiful oh god
Both are stunningly beautiful
style like you! 😍😀
maybe you can do a series on immigrant families, and their difficulties in communication as the language barriers enlarge when the children grow up.

Why did she say her mom's biggest flaw? That's so harsh! I really feel for her mom.
their story and appearance is so similar to mine and my mom's. It's kind of scary..
It's peculiar how you can find similarities between your life and the life of strangers.
They look sooo similar
I love this project however I don't understand why you're doing this.

I don't like these videos. But I love stylelikeyou. I don't know, The skin deep feels too intimate for me. Like I'm watching something I'm not suppose to watch.
I love them
Make a post on Reddit about your Kickstarter. You'll reach a bigger audience on there, and you'll find a lot of support from uplifting users. =)
Thanks so much for the suggestion! :)
I just tried to donate but Kickstarter only accepts Visa, MasterCard, American Express or Discover :( I don't have those, just a debit card and a Paypal Account...
Did the debit card not work! It should! Thanks for the support :)
No, the option "debit card" wasn't shown.. :( At least I couldn't find it..?
Mom had too much sun in her days.
Nick from The Skin Deep, I got a proposition for you. I'm willing to donate 250 dollars to the campaign in exchange for a date with you. What do you say?
Straight up pumping lmbo...but maybe it's an idea to consider
omgggggg lol
*@ LandryattheBayou*
May i know why you posted that comment?
because I meant it. I think he would be a great guy to get to know.
LandryattheBayou
That's cool and all. But why did you _post_ it?
Couldn't you just ask him direct?
Second baby
she looks like demi lovato
Wow poor girl. This mother is such a negative vibe
First
