I can totally relate, my parents are always telling me to come and be sociable, come sit with every one else, or "oh, why dont you ever see any friends?" Like, ugh, leave me alone, I don't like being with people much okay?
A few months ago my husband was driving me somewhere in downtown and as we were parked at a traffic light I saw someone who looked familiar; long hair...walking a little dog...and I suddenly realized OHmyGODiTsSAraHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! And had a full-blown fangirl moment... he wanted to pull over so I could go say hi but I didn't want to be that creepy weirdo leaping out of their car and charging at someone who's minding their own business and living their life lmao .....
We have a lot in commun: SO introverted, love lamps, love my animals, perfectionist, SO excited to be a mom > also my biggest dream! etc. So glad I share them with you, you are so inspiring, relaxing and beautiful ❤️🙏🏽
Can you PLEASSEE make an ASMR channel?! Your voice calms me down so much, whenever I am stressed about school and stuff, I will put on one of your videos. Even in this video you were talking about making voices so role play ASMR’s would be your thing!! You would be my go-to ASMRtist! Please consider it! Please continue in doing hair videos, especially keeping your hair healthy and thick as well as tips for growing and maintaining long hair! I love you SOOO much Sarah, thank you! Love from Australia 🇦🇺 Eve ♥️
The bits about introversion, anxiety, shyness, indecisiveness, being selective with friends, even making voices all the time (I do it with my twin sister, lol) - YES! You're so not alone, lol. Best wishes. :)
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do a morning and night routine!! Your skin looks beautiful and glowy, also (obviously) your hair is gorgeous too! Could you please consider doing a video about your salt lamps (what they are,how they work, where you buy them etc). And lastly, what is your Pinterest name? Thank you for being such an inspiration!! I love you Sarah! ♥️
We are so so so so similar, I’m shy, love heavy blankets, introverted, anxiety, i looooove the sun, warm weather, obsessed with jewelry and plants too!!!!! So weird, I love your content! Its so calming :-)
Oh Sarah!! I waited this video for years. I needed to know about your real you. I found we are quite similar!!!! Shy, beautiful, with anxiety, social anxiety, perfectionist, lonely person with great love for Mother Nature.... etc. I am Spanish by the way, but everybody here thinks I am Irish or similar. Thank you for your sincerity, I am a weirdo too, but I found a foreigner that likes it and now is my husband. Lots of love darling, you are a true beauty!!! 😘
I can completely relate to the social media anxiety. I get really overwhelmed to deal with dms, emails, texts, anything like that. The only time I'm not overwhelmed is when it's my parents contacting me. I think for me, the idea of responding within a given amount of time and having to keep a conversation going really stresses me out, especially because I get easily drained after a few minutes! It is comforting to hear that someone else feels that way!
The part about you not being a social person genuinely makes me feel better about myself. Seriously, I'm so glad I watched this video just for that one part. Just because for years I have been thinking something is wrong with me. But I just need to accept that it's part of who I am. I'm glad I'm not alone
Side note: I used to actually be really social when I was like 17-20. That was when my mental health issues were less severe and intrusive I'm guessing... lol
This was so nice. Absolutely nothing wrong with enjoying your home..being by yourself..and creating the environment you love!! I am most comfortable when I am away from the rat race..noise..crowds and can just do and be who I am and do what gives me peace and puts me in touch with things that matter most! Peace..hope..serenity.. You have a calming energy that just completes your beauty! Thank you for sharing! This was so relaxing! 🙏❤
I struggle with posture! I am a sloucher haha. But I have been taking ballet classes and it really helps you be aware of your posture/ improve your posture ☺️👍🏼
Oh my gosh, so many things you said remind me of myself. I am quite shy and socially anxious. I also don't like talking on the phone. I also have experienced email and text message anxiety. People often think I'm stuck up and snobby till they get to know me which makes me really sad. :( And while I didn't have terrible acne, I grew up with terrible eczema which I wouldn't trade the experience, because I feel the same, I was able to learn more about my body and treat it holistically and it helped me judge others less. It's so nice to hear that someone else experiences and feels the same things I do. I also spend 90% of my time alone and really enjoy being alone. Please try not to be down on yourself, I know very well it's hard, but you are gift. I love your channel so much and am really inspired by you!
So interesting! And we have a few things in common YAY! 😁 I used to be bothered by my social anxiety/not having any friends/being really social/etc but as I grew older (i'm 25 now) I have come to realize I am just a loner, I feel more relaxed at home on my own with my dogs/family than being out and its perfectly OK to be that way. i am how I am. 🌺🌱😁 I am currently becoming more obsessed with vintage clothes as well, and more towards the 40s-60s lately. 😄
Many people are afraid to be alone so they always depend on others for company. Being alone is empowering. That shows how strong you are and don't have to put up with anyone unless you choose to do that. Not many people gets the luxury to lead the chosen life. I am the same...enjoy being at home with my two pups.
Sweet Sarah - you just described me! I am a 59 year woman and I was always made to feel bad about my shyness, my introvertness, my need for silence and “mood” lighting…lol! I have raised three boys and I am married to the most wonderful man in the whole world who loves me and adores me every day. . I have been an Audrey Hepburn fan since I was a little girl and ever since I watched Breakfast at Tiffany’. I was so skinny and small breasted growing up and was teased by my father and relatives so I was mortified about my body so Audrey had the same body type that I had and I could identify with her. And she was a famous star which gave me hope! It is wonderful to see that you have accepted who you are and are proud of it now. We need more people like you in the world 🧚♀️💝🧘♀️🤸♀️❤️🤸♂️🧘♀️🧚♀️
Love hearing the points about introversion, shyness, being a homebody and disliking having to socialize! I’m with ya 😉 Edit: and oh my gosh, the part about being quiet and how people think you are stuck up or rude....I’m a big observer so that’s why I am quiet around people, I get sensory overload and need some time to take it all in. I have the same problem, having others think I am stuck up or not interested but that’s not it! Just takes awhile to feel comfortable....
I know exactly what you are talking about when it comes to the fear of checking e-mails, texts and other messages. Sometimes I don't check them in waaaay too long, because I feel overwhelmed and it all feels too much for me in a way... And then it just gets harder and harder to check it. I feel so much stress and anxiety about it all, how it all "builds up" in my head, and I feel so bad for all the people I haven't gotten back to and feel as if it's just going to ruin my life. And even though I struggle with these horrible feelings, I still can't check it. One time I checked my Facebook messages after a long period of this, I just forced myself even though I wasn't ready, and I had a huge anxiety attack. It was just terrible. It's really weird, cause when I'm not in this kind of "mood" or whatever you should call it, it all feels so easy, and I know so well that it would help me a lot to just check the messages and answer them when it's like this, but it just feels totally impossible. As if I just can't do it, cause then it will all be too much for me. In this day and age it is just horrible to struggle with something like this. But then again, I guess that's exactly what it's all about - a reaction to how we live our lives today. It can all feel a bit overwhelming, having to be online and ON all the time. Answering messages here, checking notifications there, having to keep up with events and everything that happens on the Internet.
It's UNCANNY how much I have in common with you... Like seriously ridiculous!!! And LOL at "my favourite fart" 😂 Loved getting to know you Sarah, you're such a wonderful person inside and out :)
Hey Sarah and friends, have you guys seen the show New Girl? It’s my favorite show on Netflix. I always recommend it because of its lightheartedness and feel-good aftermath.
Oh my god.... u r *ME!!* 😂😂 I also don't like answering calls.. instead chatting is what I love. Also, my friend circle is very small.. i am a loner, an introvert and not a partier.. i love sunny days when it is not so Hot/cold..i love being cozy!!
I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who feels anxious about opening email, and the like. I feel the same way about getting my mail, I don't like getting it or opening it, but I have to force myself to. Thanks for sharing.
I am an introvert too. I hardly talk at work unless spoken too! 🙃 we have a lot in common funny how that works. Love your videos and you should do calming voice books. Your voice is so relaxing and sweet
Sarah, you are such a sympathetic human being by just being naturally yourself! I love that and think it's something really special since society is getting more and more boring and unique :D But from now on, I picture you sitting at home alone with your crystals and salt lamps! Thank you and thank you for sharing this with us :'D
You are not alone with any of your anxiety’s. I have social anxiety and major ocd as well and I was in a sense releaved I’m not the only one who freaks out when I get a phone notification! I always feel like it’s going to say something that’s going to affect me negatively
Dear Sarah...I LOVE watching your vids and recommended you to someone only yesterday. SO glad I watched this! I am 47 and most of what you said is ME..and I do feel so much better!!!! Thank you!!! I have worked in horribly toxic places and trying for a better life where I can be me. THANK YOU for being YOU. Blessings and hugs, M
I love pothos and string of pearls too! Definitely propagate your pothos. The best way is to cut individual leaf nodes (as opposed to cutting long vines). You can't have enough pothos in your home so turn your one plant into 20 plants :)
We sound so much alike. Hahaha. Probably would never meet, because we are so content with staying in our cozy homes and avoiding telephone calls and emails. Totally there with you. Also, I was completely obsessed with gymnastics as a kid. I used to make up floor routines in our family room. I grew up watching old movies, and Audrey is absolutely the best. She was an incredible person. Love love love her.
Omg when you started to talk about your 2favourite shows I already knew you were going to say friends how telepathic are we!! I’m currently working my way through all 10 seasons of friends, up to season 3 at the moment. Such a great show!! xx
You know Sara.... You taught me a lot... But the most thing ill ever remember from u is being happy and never give up... Like.. When I saw your draw my life video and saw what you've gone through I just can't believe it.. If I went through what u went through.. I would easily give up.... But you fought with all your might and you are still happy and I see u smiling in every video!!!! I love u so much🤩🤩❤💖
Thanks for sharing so much about yourself! Very relatable! Especially LOVING to be alone. I think it allows us to be our best selves when we do go around other people. Thanks again for sharing. -A fellow introvert 🌺
I’m new and I was wondering if you have any videos or tips and tricks about a dry scalp\dandruff? I love your videos! I like how you’re not yelling and shouting. Don’t ever change!
Sarah, the social media/email/text anxiety is a part of generalized anxiety disorder. Just know that the more you avoid it, the more the worry grows. Force yourself to check them as often as possible :) Same thing with the OCD fears (e.g., drain)- expose yourself to the feared thing as much as possible... Thanks for sharing, great video!
Wow all these character traits, loner, indecisive, tendensy to anxiety, love being at home and cozy are so ME. And I love how you are talking about them as just this is who I am then it being a problem. I am still learning to accept myself. Thank you for helping me ,
I'm a loner aswell and it's soo difficult to find friends...Cause when I distance myself and need my alone time most people don't understand and get offended and I don't want to hurt people...I just want a friend that I can be alone together with...Like I read something, they draw or play a game or idk and talk to eachother when we feel like it and feel like we can get involved with whatever the other person is doing at anytime. To be honest we are really similar and it's nice to meet someone that is like me
I am glad to find someone with email anxiety- I avoid the inbox all together for weeks at a time! I’ve also noticed I get VERY anxious when someone leaves me a voicemail and I have to listen to it, which usually happens because I’m too nervous to answer phones a lot of times. So you aren’t wierd at all, I’m pretty sure this is a lot more prevalent than we imagine
I totally can relate to that "unopened message" anxiety! I get it with phone calls, too. For some reason it's scary af not to know if the content will be positive or negative beforehand. Guess it's just something that happens to people who are very sensitive/empathetic and/or scared of conflict. 🙈
YOU ARE PART SWISS?!?!!! my gosh, not many people i see on RUclips have some heritage from my home country! im on 2:30 and i respect you so much for getting a rescue dog, they need help and im so glad that you helped one. im curious to see what else you have going for yourself!
Hi holoistichabits lover. Don't be sad,the sad gloom will pass away. You are going to have a awesome life😄 Edit: got so many likes😂 I never got in my videos😂😂😂
Listening to you talk about your anxieties about texting and phone calls, arachnophobia, and social anxiety, etc... we are definitely two of a kind! I can tell you that as I’ve gotten a little older, I have learned how to cope with all of it, but it never truly goes away. It is just who we are. I am so relieved to know that there are others. 😊☺️
Yay! New Sarah video! 🤗 Aww, you’re so beautiful inside and out, Sarah! I enjoyed this because I realized we have a lot in common. Introverts unite! Separately, in their own homes, far away from each other. LOL! I laughed at the drain part because for the longest time, I had a fear of cleaning my oven. Yep. For years. Not afraid of drains, but also hate the thought of sticking my hand down them. Yuck! And you SHOULD wear gowns because you have beautiful princess hair! Wear those dresses and own them, girl! 😉 Love all your videos, and your Bambi voice is too adorable! Love you! God bless you❣️ 🤗 💕 🥰
Yes I have text anxiety! I thought I was crazy for feeling that way about phone calls at first and then texts as well?! The way you speak about yourself mirrors how I am a bit and I think that's why I'm drawn to your channel, you're like a kindred spirit :).
I had such empathy when you talked about acne scaring being a big insecurity because I've been there too. Something that really helped was a derma micro roller. There's tons of research on how they help heal ice pick scars and red pigmentation. I'd recommend doing your own research to see if it might help you too :)
Hi Sarah, just found you tonight. You dear one are probably an 'Empath'...especially when stated that you like being by yourself a lot....and nothing wrong with that at all. It is great you are very comfortable with yourself and your personality too. One thing that I have found quite helpful when 'anxiety' hits, is to do EFT, pray, or even ask: 'who does this anxiety belong too anyways'? When it feels very light, after asking, I know then that it is someone else's...and I 'send it back to them with consciousness attached'....and I do feel better after that. Wishing you all the best in everything. God Bless.
FRIENDS !!! I love tjis show so much. I started to watch it all over again for the 4 time. Everytime I am depressed, i just watch one episode and I get better 😍
I'm so happy that you finally included plants to your list of passions! Like you said just like Gemstones and Crystals, Plants are nature's magic!♥️ They have so much power...they give life! After the video, just realized how much we have in common😋 You're a great mommy to Bambi and I'm sure one day when you kids, you'll be an amazing mom!😊
> I am a homebody > I dealed with social anxiety (AND I'M LIKE) : aaah, now i seeee why I have been stuck with her and was deeply charmed by her personality. :))
To be Yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.. 💗 ~ Albert Einstein YOU ARE DOIING IT GIRL! Keep on Shining! ⭐️
You and I are alike in so many ways... I just tell people Im kind of a little old lady. I just want to be home with my dogs, books, and plants. I have no shame for it either. I love that about myself.
Hugs to you! I have dealt with anxiety for over 30 yrs and OCD---I have friends who have the same anxiety as you with emails/DMs and Texts so you are not alone!!
You must be an INFJ 🖤 I am also a complete homebody who spends 90% of the time alone (by choice!). Also, I feel you on the anxiety! It’s been a huge problem for me my whole life. Especially on the phone. I always feel like people think I’m rude because I don’t engage as much as they do at social gatherings but it’s honestly just because it’s not my thing! I’m actually super caring, just quiet and sometimes shy. Anyways, it’s great to hear that I’m not entirely alone in this! I too also felt weird for not wanting to be social all the time and feeling more comfortable in my own space, but hearing that other people feel this way too is honestly so refreshing!
Thanks for saying that you don't love bully's.I got bullied last year in my school just because I wear Hijab.But now everybody is my friend and they are sorry for what they did to me.
So many interesting facts! Loved this video! It reminded me of your old videos! You look GORGEOUS! Would you do a tutorial on how you style your bangs? They look amazing!!!!!! 70’s vibes 💖💖
Thanks for sharing Sarah! Wow! I thought I was the only one in the world creeped out by the garbage disposal and what it could do to your hand!!!! Yikes!!! 😳😳 love your videos! 👍🏻👍🏻💖💖💖
I can relate to you so much:) we have a lot of similarities! I will be praying for you about your anxiety because that is something I deal with and I know how crippling it can be. I love your channel❤️
Oh my gosh, so many of these things are true for me, too! Including the crippling anxiety associated with texts, emails, etc. Thank you for this video, I no longer feel crazy. 😂
Ditto! Afraid I might get a message I won't like, a demand I can't do, or be forced to communicate to someone I don't really want to. Maybe not as crippling but I get it
Gosh when you were saying my favorite shows I was like "please say office" I have watched office a million times and still don't get tired of it. I am also Canadian
Loved this video! It was nice to get to know you more :) you inspire me for sure! And I understand the social media thing...I'm so bad at responding back and get very overwhelmed.
Amen to the acne lessons! I also have really horrible acne, but also love natural health, and have my cosmetology degree as well (so I love cleansing and skin care). Yet, people always would judge me or other acne folks as "uncleanly" which is so far from the truth. It's all hormonal and food-related in my case.
Sarah, I love your videos and your personality so much💕I was scared too to check my emails or social media, because I had a toxic friend and she very often demanded something from me or made drama without any reason, I always solved her problems and this brought me to real anxiety every time I had to check messages or mail. But now I stopped communicating with her and the anxiety passed. And I also do not like to talk on the phone and when someone constantly call me without warning and without making sure whether I can answer at a certain time or not. At the same time, it doesn’t bring me any discomfort when someone from the family calls me.
Watching this video and my hubby: goodness what are you watching..? Me: this girl is unusual and little bit weird( in a good way) but she is so ADORABLE and really smart and watching her is the most relaxing thing in the whole social media.. Sarah you are the Jewel in our world. Stay yourself- because you are special girl 💛
You are so sweet and wholesome. I'm so glad that I found your channel because I like my hair long and love holistic beauty so I've been binge watching your channel. 🖤 You're my new crush and I'll need to interview any potential love interest for you. You're so sweet I feel I've gotta look out for you. 🙈 You remind me of an elven princess ✨ Looking forward to your new videos.🖤🖤
thats so interesting about the anxiety towards social media, I am the exact same way and thought it was just me! I never answer calls and I have 2,500 unopened emails right now. My indecision also annoys people lol, but i truely just don't care usually, Id rather go with the flow and let other poeple choose what makes happy. And yes, being a perfectionist with yourself is hard! I was born in the 90's so I get your love for that decade, am I am inlove with 70's clothes and stuff. My dad calls me his flower child :) and omg, my best friend and I had a secret language when we were kids lol. Also, i wanted to do gymnastics so bad but couldnt afford it when I was young. But now I love yoga and that's somthing I can do at home and even through my health issues. Natural products and pampering myself is also one of my greatest loves! I'm also in the IBTC , and I've only recently come to terms with that.
Upvote for "I'm kind of a loner". It's nice to hear someone say that it's a personality trait and not a problem that needs fixing.
me too
Same here.
Ever since I saw this comment, I feel like I can relate. I think sometimes it’s meant to be. Not everyone will be surrounded by people
So true
I can totally relate, my parents are always telling me to come and be sociable, come sit with every one else, or "oh, why dont you ever see any friends?" Like, ugh, leave me alone, I don't like being with people much okay?
Don't apologize for being shy. That's who you are. Own it girl! Also, you will make an amazing mom one day.
I agree...she'll truly be an amazing mom!♥️
You clearly have wonderful mother as well and lots of love in your family. 🌱
She has a wonderful mom voice. Very calming. If she chooses to have kids, no doubt, she’d be great.
I totally agree she seems so patient.

A few months ago my husband was driving me somewhere in downtown and as we were parked at a traffic light I saw someone who looked familiar; long hair...walking a little dog...and I suddenly realized OHmyGODiTsSAraHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! And had a full-blown fangirl moment... he wanted to pull over so I could go say hi but I didn't want to be that creepy weirdo leaping out of their car and charging at someone who's minding their own business and living their life lmao .....
Hahaha this is too awesome!!! 😄💕 how cool!! 😝
Ahhhhh! You are so lucky :( I love on the other side of the world from Sarah... Canada and New Zealand are so far apart!
Bambi has the most beautiful ears ☺️

Yes! So excited for that!
Love that!! Holistic mommy vlogger 😝💕
Every single one of your videos is unintentional ASMR.

would you ever post a nail/hand care routine video? or just your favorite oils and organic lotions that you’d recommend? :)
Ok yes🌹🌽🌂
You're the warmest and calmest girl I've ever seen. You're an angel!
If you can make a video on social anxiety or any other anxiety, I'd be thrilled. Especially some tips

This was so nice. Absolutely nothing wrong with enjoying your home..being by yourself..and creating the environment you love!! I am most comfortable when I am away from the rat race..noise..crowds and can just do and be who I am and do what gives me peace and puts me in touch with things that matter most! Peace..hope..serenity..
You have a calming energy that just completes your beauty! Thank you for sharing! This was so relaxing! 🙏❤
We are so alike! A fellow introvert who loves my alone time, salt lamps and crystals and plants! I’m so glad I’m not alone! Thank you xxx
Hey Sarah could you do a video on good posture and what you do to have such a good posture yourself? 😊💛🌻🌼🌸
I struggle with posture! I am a sloucher haha. But I have been taking ballet classes and it really helps you be aware of your posture/ improve your posture ☺️👍🏼
lol a whole video ?

U should do "I try asmr for the first time" cuz I'm not joking but ur voice makes me sleep and relaxed

Sometimes I don't check them in waaaay too long, because I feel overwhelmed and it all feels too much for me in a way... And then it just gets harder and harder to check it. I feel so much stress and anxiety about it all, how it all "builds up" in my head, and I feel so bad for all the people I haven't gotten back to and feel as if it's just going to ruin my life. And even though I struggle with these horrible feelings, I still can't check it. One time I checked my Facebook messages after a long period of this, I just forced myself even though I wasn't ready, and I had a huge anxiety attack. It was just terrible. It's really weird, cause when I'm not in this kind of "mood" or whatever you should call it, it all feels so easy, and I know so well that it would help me a lot to just check the messages and answer them when it's like this, but it just feels totally impossible. As if I just can't do it, cause then it will all be too much for me. In this day and age it is just horrible to struggle with something like this. But then again, I guess that's exactly what it's all about - a reaction to how we live our lives today. It can all feel a bit overwhelming, having to be online and ON all the time. Answering messages here, checking notifications there, having to keep up with events and everything that happens on the Internet.
It's UNCANNY how much I have in common with you... Like seriously ridiculous!!! And LOL at "my favourite fart" 😂 Loved getting to know you Sarah, you're such a wonderful person inside and out :)
Haha thank you Maya! You are the sweetest 💕
Same here!
I thought enjoying being along most of the time was weird too and would force myself to socialize more. But I’m slowly learning that it’s okay! 😊💜
Hey Sarah and friends, have you guys seen the show New Girl? It’s my favorite show on Netflix. I always recommend it because of its lightheartedness and feel-good aftermath.
Wow the first youtuber I've heard that loves editing and finds it stress relieving. She's an awesome soul.
Oh my god.... u r *ME!!* 😂😂
I also don't like answering calls.. instead chatting is what I love. Also, my friend circle is very small.. i am a loner, an introvert and not a partier.. i love sunny days when it is not so Hot/cold..i love being cozy!!
I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who feels anxious about opening email, and the like. I feel the same way about getting my mail, I don't like getting it or opening it, but I have to force myself to. Thanks for sharing.
I am an introvert too. I hardly talk at work unless spoken too! 🙃 we have a lot in common funny how that works. Love your videos and you should do calming voice books. Your voice is so relaxing and sweet
Sarah, you are such a sympathetic human being by just being naturally yourself! I love that and think it's something really special since society is getting more and more boring and unique :D
But from now on, I picture you sitting at home alone with your crystals and salt lamps! Thank you and thank you for sharing this with us :'D
You are not alone with any of your anxiety’s. I have social anxiety and major ocd as well and I was in a sense releaved I’m not the only one who freaks out when I get a phone notification! I always feel like it’s going to say something that’s going to affect me negatively
And has definitely messed with my life !
Dear Sarah...I LOVE watching your vids and recommended you to someone only yesterday. SO glad I watched this! I am 47 and most of what you said is ME..and I do feel so much better!!!! Thank you!!! I have worked in horribly toxic places and trying for a better life where I can be me. THANK YOU for being YOU. Blessings and hugs, M
I love pothos and string of pearls too! Definitely propagate your pothos. The best way is to cut individual leaf nodes (as opposed to cutting long vines). You can't have enough pothos in your home so turn your one plant into 20 plants :)
We sound so much alike. Hahaha. Probably would never meet, because we are so content with staying in our cozy homes and avoiding telephone calls and emails. Totally there with you. Also, I was completely obsessed with gymnastics as a kid. I used to make up floor routines in our family room. I grew up watching old movies, and Audrey is absolutely the best. She was an incredible person. Love love love her.
Omg when you started to talk about your 2favourite shows I already knew you were going to say friends how telepathic are we!! I’m currently working my way through all 10 seasons of friends, up to season 3 at the moment. Such a great show!! xx
You know Sara.... You taught me a lot... But the most thing ill ever remember from u is being happy and never give up... Like.. When I saw your draw my life video and saw what you've gone through I just can't believe it.. If I went through what u went through.. I would easily give up.... But you fought with all your might and you are still happy and I see u smiling in every video!!!!
I love u so much🤩🤩❤💖
Thanks for sharing so much about yourself! Very relatable! Especially LOVING to be alone. I think it allows us to be our best selves when we do go around other people. Thanks again for sharing.
-A fellow introvert 🌺
I’m new and I was wondering if you have any videos or tips and tricks about a dry scalp\dandruff? I love your videos! I like how you’re not yelling and shouting. Don’t ever change!
Sarah, the social media/email/text anxiety is a part of generalized anxiety disorder. Just know that the more you avoid it, the more the worry grows. Force yourself to check them as often as possible :) Same thing with the OCD fears (e.g., drain)- expose yourself to the feared thing as much as possible... Thanks for sharing, great video!
Wow all these character traits, loner, indecisive, tendensy to anxiety, love being at home and cozy are so ME. And I love how you are talking about them as just this is who I am then it being a problem. I am still learning to accept myself. Thank you for helping me ,
I'm a loner aswell and it's soo difficult to find friends...Cause when I distance myself and need my alone time most people don't understand and get offended and I don't want to hurt people...I just want a friend that I can be alone together with...Like I read something, they draw or play a game or idk and talk to eachother when we feel like it and feel like we can get involved with whatever the other person is doing at anytime.
To be honest we are really similar and it's nice to meet someone that is like me
I am glad to find someone with email anxiety- I avoid the inbox all together for weeks at a time! I’ve also noticed I get VERY anxious when someone leaves me a voicemail and I have to listen to it, which usually happens because I’m too nervous to answer phones a lot of times. So you aren’t wierd at all, I’m pretty sure this is a lot more prevalent than we imagine
I've followed you for years but didn't knew about you wanting to be a mom. I hope you find a kind man and have many kids! You're awesome!
Most of the things that you mentioned sounds exactly like me! Especially the perfectionist and the shy coming off as rude part!
Love you Sarah!
Me too... I think my step sis always thought I was stuck up and self centered...and I'm like "HOoooWWW?!"
I totally can relate to that "unopened message" anxiety! I get it with phone calls, too. For some reason it's scary af not to know if the content will be positive or negative beforehand. Guess it's just something that happens to people who are very sensitive/empathetic and/or scared of conflict. 🙈
Have good week in ok🌞🌔🌇🌙🌓🌅
Ko yes Mom
YOU ARE PART SWISS?!?!!! my gosh, not many people i see on RUclips have some heritage from my home country! im on 2:30 and i respect you so much for getting a rescue dog, they need help and im so glad that you helped one. im curious to see what else you have going for yourself!
honestly when ever u upload it makes my day.. your energy is magnificent ;-;
💕☺️💕☺️💕☺️💕
Hi holoistichabits lover.
Don't be sad,the sad gloom will pass away. You are going to have a awesome life😄
Edit: got so many likes😂 I never got in my videos😂😂😂
70 is so many?
@@splendid4512 yes! What I get is so much for me because I expect so less😊
Have a great day
Army!!!
Listening to you talk about your anxieties about texting and phone calls, arachnophobia, and social anxiety, etc... we are definitely two of a kind! I can tell you that as I’ve gotten a little older, I have learned how to cope with all of it, but it never truly goes away. It is just who we are. I am so relieved to know that there are others. 😊☺️
Totally with you on the email, text, dm, and phone fear/anxiety/avoidance. Thanks for such a good video with fun facts! 😘❤️
ELiz Wolfe same. I actually had to quit Facebook over this. I just couldn’t handle the pressure for some weird reason.
@@luckyDancer100 ok🍅🍘🍓
Yay! New Sarah video! 🤗 Aww, you’re so beautiful inside and out, Sarah! I enjoyed this because I realized we have a lot in common. Introverts unite! Separately, in their own homes, far away from each other. LOL! I laughed at the drain part because for the longest time, I had a fear of cleaning my oven. Yep. For years. Not afraid of drains, but also hate the thought of sticking my hand down them. Yuck! And you SHOULD wear gowns because you have beautiful princess hair! Wear those dresses and own them, girl! 😉 Love all your videos, and your Bambi voice is too adorable! Love you! God bless you❣️ 🤗 💕 🥰
Yes I have text anxiety! I thought I was crazy for feeling that way about phone calls at first and then texts as well?! The way you speak about yourself mirrors how I am a bit and I think that's why I'm drawn to your channel, you're like a kindred spirit :).
I had such empathy when you talked about acne scaring being a big insecurity because I've been there too. Something that really helped was a derma micro roller. There's tons of research on how they help heal ice pick scars and red pigmentation. I'd recommend doing your own research to see if it might help you too :)
make ASMR please you have the most beutifull voice and energy
Hi Sarah, just found you tonight. You dear one are probably an 'Empath'...especially when stated that you like being by yourself a lot....and nothing wrong with that at all. It is great you are very comfortable with yourself and your personality too. One thing that I have found quite helpful when 'anxiety' hits, is to do EFT, pray, or even ask: 'who does this anxiety belong too anyways'? When it feels very light, after asking, I know then that it is someone else's...and I 'send it back to them with consciousness attached'....and I do feel better after that. Wishing you all the best in everything. God Bless.
Thank you for sharing. I am a loner too. Love it now, but felt bad and ashamed about it for very long time.
FRIENDS !!!
I love tjis show so much. I started to watch it all over again for the 4 time. Everytime I am depressed, i just watch one episode and I get better 😍
I'm so happy that you finally included plants to your list of passions! Like you said just like Gemstones and Crystals, Plants are nature's magic!♥️ They have so much power...they give life! After the video, just realized how much we have in common😋 You're a great mommy to Bambi and I'm sure one day when you kids, you'll be an amazing mom!😊
Home plants tour?? I love your videos, all of them :)
Ila The Minimalist nice idea
Yes!! I wanna do a plant tour 😃🌿
@@holistichabits Thank you! Can't wait :D
> I am a homebody
> I dealed with social anxiety (AND I'M LIKE) : aaah, now i seeee why I have been stuck with her and was deeply charmed by her personality. :))

YOU ARE DOIING IT GIRL! Keep on Shining! ⭐️
💕☺️💕☺️💕☺️
You and I are alike in so many ways... I just tell people Im kind of a little old lady. I just want to be home with my dogs, books, and plants. I have no shame for it either. I love that about myself.
and this sage turtleneck looks so pretty on you!!!
Hugs to you! I have dealt with anxiety for over 30 yrs and OCD---I have friends who have the same anxiety as you with emails/DMs and Texts so you are not alone!!
You must be an INFJ 🖤 I am also a complete homebody who spends 90% of the time alone (by choice!). Also, I feel you on the anxiety! It’s been a huge problem for me my whole life. Especially on the phone. I always feel like people think I’m rude because I don’t engage as much as they do at social gatherings but it’s honestly just because it’s not my thing! I’m actually super caring, just quiet and sometimes shy. Anyways, it’s great to hear that I’m not entirely alone in this! I too also felt weird for not wanting to be social all the time and feeling more comfortable in my own space, but hearing that other people feel this way too is honestly so refreshing!
Thanks for saying that you don't love bully's.I got bullied last year in my school just because I wear Hijab.But now everybody is my friend and they are sorry for what they did to me.
Can you please tell me what lighting you had in this video? Like please
Is it the suns lighting or did you have like rings around you?
Wooow... like mirror image of me. Beautiful.. plants, indoors yaaasss
So many interesting facts! Loved this video! It reminded me of your old videos! You look GORGEOUS!
Would you do a tutorial on how you style your bangs? They look amazing!!!!!! 70’s vibes 💖💖
Right now they are so long so I just push them to the side! 😝 but I’m trying to get that 60’s, 70’s vibe hehe
holistichabits they look amazing 😍🥰
I live in Victoria and I'm a holistic nutritionist with a natural skincare line!
Thanks for sharing Sarah! Wow! I thought I was the only one in the world creeped out by the garbage disposal and what it could do to your hand!!!! Yikes!!! 😳😳 love your videos! 👍🏻👍🏻💖💖💖
You and I are kindred spirits when it comes to the office. I don't like TV ordinarily, but that show is a guilty pleasure.
Great, I agree about those worst traits in people. Well said x
I can relate to you so much:) we have a lot of similarities! I will be praying for you about your anxiety because that is something I deal with and I know how crippling it can be.
I love your channel❤️
Oh my gosh, so many of these things are true for me, too! Including the crippling anxiety associated with texts, emails, etc. Thank you for this video, I no longer feel crazy. 😂
Ditto! Afraid I might get a message I won't like, a demand I can't do, or be forced to communicate to someone I don't really want to.
Maybe not as crippling but I get it
Yay I’m so happy you updated! I love your channel! ❤️😊❤️
I relate to you so much. It's so freeing to accept that you need time alone.
i also LOVE to be ALONE (99%) love silence too....love your beautiful/peaceful videos & you !!!
Thank you for sharing about yourself. You are my hair goal inspiration. We introverts definitely have a place in this world. 💜💜💜
Gosh when you were saying my favorite shows I was like "please say office" I have watched office a million times and still don't get tired of it. I am also Canadian
Your voice is so calming 🍃💕
Loved this video! It was nice to get to know you more :) you inspire me for sure! And I understand the social media thing...I'm so bad at responding back and get very overwhelmed.
Amen to the acne lessons! I also have really horrible acne, but also love natural health, and have my cosmetology degree as well (so I love cleansing and skin care). Yet, people always would judge me or other acne folks as "uncleanly" which is so far from the truth. It's all hormonal and food-related in my case.
I too have recently overcome the guilt of enjoying me time more than anything else. It's so liberating!
Fun watching your video. Lol I go to church almost every day and I get to wear gowns every day!
Sarah, I love your videos and your personality so much💕I was scared too to check my emails or social media, because I had a toxic friend and she very often demanded something from me or made drama without any reason, I always solved her problems and this brought me to real anxiety every time I had to check messages or mail. But now I stopped communicating with her and the anxiety passed. And I also do not like to talk on the phone and when someone constantly call me without warning and without making sure whether I can answer at a certain time or not. At the same time, it doesn’t bring me any discomfort when someone from the family calls me.
Watching this video and my hubby: goodness what are you watching..? Me: this girl is unusual and little bit weird( in a good way) but she is so ADORABLE and really smart and watching her is the most relaxing thing in the whole social media.. Sarah you are the Jewel in our world. Stay yourself- because you are special girl 💛
Bambi’s face is so in love. So sweet 🥰🐾🐾
You are so sweet and wholesome. I'm so glad that I found your channel because I like my hair long and love holistic beauty so I've been binge watching your channel. 🖤 You're my new crush and I'll need to interview any potential love interest for you. You're so sweet I feel I've gotta look out for you. 🙈 You remind me of an elven princess ✨ Looking forward to your new videos.🖤🖤
Wow we are so alike! I’m a homebody, live crystals, love salt lamps, all things holistic! Glad I found your channel!!
thats so interesting about the anxiety towards social media, I am the exact same way and thought it was just me! I never answer calls and I have 2,500 unopened emails right now. My indecision also annoys people lol, but i truely just don't care usually, Id rather go with the flow and let other poeple choose what makes happy. And yes, being a perfectionist with yourself is hard! I was born in the 90's so I get your love for that decade, am I am inlove with 70's clothes and stuff. My dad calls me his flower child :) and omg, my best friend and I had a secret language when we were kids lol. Also, i wanted to do gymnastics so bad but couldnt afford it when I was young. But now I love yoga and that's somthing I can do at home and even through my health issues. Natural products and pampering myself is also one of my greatest loves! I'm also in the IBTC , and I've only recently come to terms with that.
