Girl you HAVE to get away from L.A. beauty standards. You are gorgeous, hilarious, and intelligent. Please never start surgery or injections, your natural beauty is breath taking
that stuff already has such a huge impact on the rest of the world.. i really can’t imagine what its like working in that industry with eyes on you at all times and the pressure to look like everyone else.. Ik theres a lot of work in LA but i’ve heard too many influencers say its damaging to mental health
Idk ive noticed this trend that if someone is successful career wise or whatever you want to call it they're more likely to struggle with romantic relationships and its the other way around for others...
As someone who would’ve been THE IT GIRL for the Irish famine, thank you for saying “women that looked like me had their moment”. I LOVE THAT PERSPECTIVE.
my favorite cultural reference in Shrek 2 is the OJ Simpson white bronco reference in the "car chase" followed directly by a spoof of the show Cops where they find "catnip" (weed) on puss in boots. HIGH ART
It is so refreshing to consume media from Britney. There are no "influencers" that have thought provoking content anymore while also being current and funny and "in". I'm so glad there is finally a women I can relate to in current media and popular culture. A role model fr.
Exactly this!!! The high/low brow content is wonderful. She is not above making silly jokes about what’s “in” in the zeitgeist, but equally is so thoughtful, insightful and intelligent. She’s so deserving of all her success she’s so uniquely brilliant.
I think Brittany needs to see this comment because this is so important. Her individuality is the reason she has become so successful. She stands out & thts exactly what we want.
I literally started crying when I heard you saying "it is really unfair to hold people to old version of themselves". It is something that I deal with and I allowed some people to use my old version against me and it hurts like hell. If they have the emotional capability, people can learn and grow and change. Thank you Brittany for bringing joy to our lives. You have no idea in what ways you saved us. You're beautiful and precious.
“the things that make me, me, i am not willing to give up to meet some standard of beauty that like i said, is fleeting and will change…” is the realist thing i’ve heard in a really long time and it gave me such a reality shock. ily brittany❤
Fun fact about Napoleon's coronation painting: you can see his mother watching proudly in the background, but she wasn't actually at his coronation because she hated him. Napoleon wanted her to be in the painting though to revise history.
I’ve always hated, HATED that my stomach is not flat. When I was 105 lbs and now 14 years later at 185 lbs, my stomach is not flat. At my most fit and my least fit, abs or not, my stomach is not flat. It just won’t do it. And I go through waves of hating it still but I first loved it when I realized most renaissance paintings and statues look like me. I’m Greek and Italian, I’m literally the descendant of these immortalized goddesses, and I actually look like them. I’m a goddess.
RELATABLE!! No matter how much I work out, that tummy still there. I'm just waiting for my brain to catch up so I can feel comfortable in cute dresses someday.
Girl I love this, ive always been on the opposite spectrum, scarily underweight and frail, I have disabilities that make it hard to gain and yet I also don't have a flat stomach, I'm 100% convinced its due to the uterus, it's never gonna be flat and I think its beautiful that your body looks like literal venus, I paint and have never painted a flat stomach yet
I have a nose that is slender and pointy but not in the button nose way, in the way that people have told me I look like a mouse. And I have sometimes talked about how much I despise my nose and once my mother teared up and told me "don't say that. You have my mom's nose." That put things into perspective for me, because, while I hardly remember my grandmother's face, I have photos of her and I've always thought she was beautiful. There's that saying that your existence is proof that for generations your features have been loved, and while I think that sounds a little corny, maybe it's true.
Britany hit close with this one. It’s wanting to be patient to find that one person but not knowing why it hasn’t happened yet or why it’s taking longer for you. That crippling fear you’ll run out of time or maybe that sort of love was just not meant to happen to you. I love you Britany
"you are always meeting new versions of yourself" truly brought a tear to my eye. I've been going through a similar process of trying to understand which parts of myself are performance and which parts are really me and hearing you talk about that made me feel so incredibly seen. so much love 💕
"I look like my parents & I love that." Thank you so much for saying this. I think we've been seeing this casual erasure of our unique ancestry; We all want to look like the "standard" when our natural appearance has been beautifully passed down through the generations. You may never see this, but I just had to say how much I love you using your platform to speak on things like aging with friends, accentuating the features we dare to love (Seriously, the 20's inspired makeup was meant for you), and embracing who we are as a whole. Sending all the love & appreciation your way ♡
As a Greek woman who got a nose job, it broke my heart to hear my mother say “your nose reminded me of my dads” … I never got to meet my grandfather. He died when she was 16 from cancer. I’ll never not regret my nose job ever since then. Ladies, DO NOT CHANGE YOUR UNIQUENESS
The idea that I carry the features of my heritage is the only thing keeping me away from surgery ngl. Being beautiful might make my life (a lot) easier but I can't bear the thought of erasing my literal genetic identity.
As a small town east coast girl who has been through LA life… I’m genuinely worried for you out there girl. I understand it’s local to collab but it’s a dangerous environment for decent people like you in Hollywood. Please keep yourself surrounded by your uplifting closest friends and never forget how gorgeous you are inside and out. We all see it!!! Trust me girl you DONT want the men LA has to offer.
I took my dishwashing gloves off to type this: all my friends have big crazy lips and get work done and sometimes I really feel ugly next to them. When you said “I look like my parents” that’s what I needed to hear. I do too. I will never change my face. Love u Brittany
Please don’t ever change your face. I think you are one of the most beautiful people alive. You are unique and drop dead gorgeous. Everything about you draws me and I just know I’m not the only person that feels that way.
i understand ariana's definitely not had it easy with growing up in the spotlight & having more pressure on her than we could ever imagine but i just can't get on that train bc ive always gotten the impression that she's not a girls girl. like dating a married man and immediately releasing a song called "the boy is mine" is crazyyyyyy
Im a new fan, has brittany spoken about that situation at all? She seems to think very highly of arianna which is weird to me considering what she's done lol
I feel this so hard. Not to mention how she's dressed up as other races etc. And as a lesbian I hate that people act like I have to love her because I'm gay and woman presenting. She's done nothing for me as a queer woman, and continues to perpetuate things that just don't align with my beliefs. I think straight women idolize her a lot because she was confident in her sexuality (which if that helps someone, I'm glad!) But she's not a feminist icon, shes especially not a queer icon, nor is she a "girls girl". She's another cishet straight woman who still struggles with the weight of the patriarchy, but doesn't challenge it enough to make any real moves. Sure she can be capable of change, and probably has written a few great things I haven't paid mind to. But I can't get passed the icky feeling I get as a lesbian, watching people say she's a feminist icon when I feel like she may say she is, but her actions and the way she.carries herself doesn't seem like it. Idk. I wish her the best but definitely not for me lol
i feel like a lot of the people who are fine w everything ari has done tend to be in highschool/college or live in LA. and they thinks it’s normal bc that is their normal. the cheating and the he-said she-said, playing helen keller to ur man crush Monday’s public relationship for a fun couple weeks w him. like that’s their everyday. i also just don’t get the idolizing celebs who would’ve bullied you in highschool, esp when she’s been so vocal ab being anti-racist and ari has been extremely sus in that dept. she dislikes some celebrities for their inaction (not using their platform. etc) but she loves other celebrities IN SPITE of what they actually HAVE done. and that speaks volumes to me.
no because you’re spot on, we’re so quick to jump on an artist when they do something “problematic” but when they’re someone we like and look up to, we can always find a way to excuse their wrongdoing??? We can always justify their bad decisions and behaviour with vague excuses???? Doesn’t sit right with me. But people are entitled to their opinions and I’m not obliged to justify myself or try to change their opinion.
I had a nose job several years ago because I was being bullied by my ex boyfriend about my appearance and I felt like I needed to make him happy. I also ended up getting buccal fat removal because I thought I would be better looking and more desirable and sort of fell for what’s becoming known as “fad” plastic surgery. Or “tik tok” plastic surgery- which is just terrifying to me when I think about it. I wish I had done my research and learned that buccal fat removal is usually done in tandem with face lifts and isn’t recommended on its own because it can lead to premature aging and loss of elasticity. It’s taken me two years to emotionally heal after getting buccal fat removal because I really was shocked by how much my face had changed. I struggled because I didn’t recognize myself in the mirror and I started to realize, “I loved how I looked before”. Those insecurities I felt were because someone else put them in my thoughts. I’m a literal walking warning story to people who can take things too far and also; make sure you’re doing it for the right reasons and want to make YOU happy. It’s important too to make sure you’re in a mentally/emotionally well place as well as a healthy stable environment; before getting plastic surgery and you should discuss with your doctor or a therapist first. I try to speak out when I can ❤. Be safe out there 🙌
@@KeevanNortonthank you for the kindness 🙌. Honestly I’m doing a lot better and I’ve received a treatment called ultherapy to help “fix” things. It’s made a huge difference but it’s very expensive and not sustainable… It would’ve been cheaper to leave my ex and go to therapy. I try to laugh about it now and am considering making a video on here as a psa.
Thank you so much for not outright trying to tell people not to get plastic surgery. Some people are so preachy about it, it hurts. I have like, two minor (MINOR!!!!) aspects I want to change, but I swear plastic surgery is being demonized so much because strangers automatically assume I'll go crazy and get 300 BBLS and a full pound of lip filler (I do not have such a desire). Thank you for sharing your story as well. The buccal fat surgeries are becoming an extreme trend, you are correct. It is unfortunate that you fell for their schemes, but that's what they wanted you to do in the first place; that is not your fault. Our society is profiting off of our insecurities and using them against us. You will learn to love yourself time and time again. You'll always change in ways you never expect! And it's okay to doubt yourself sometimes too. The kindness that you have displayed in just one short comment says enough about who you are and who you will continue to be.
growing up in the 2000s, i was curvy with thick eye brows. i couldnt wear low rise jeans and people would call me unibrow (my eye brows dont touch theyre just thick?) i was so happy in college that the kardasians popularized big butts with hour glass shape and thick eye brows. Now that baggy clothes are back in I look like an amorphous blob if i wear wide leg jeans. In high school when i got my braces off people ive known all my life wanted to date me. You will feel the suspicion of "you didnt want me then what has changed" and the cosmetic procedures wont change how you feel about yourself or men.
Man, I get that feeling. mid rise bootcut jeans are the only pants that don't make me look like a blob or a sausage casing. I remember being so happy when curvy was in, and then thicker eyebrows were finally in, and then I kinda realized that it was only if it was "perfect" curves, and then as both of those have started to wane back out of fashion I realized "oh I just..don't give a shit anymore"
It's so true this happened to me when I lost like 60 pounds from being overperscribed Adderall. I've always been a bigger girl and then dropping down to a weight that's "conventional" really fucked with my head, probably gave me an ED cause I'm still so fucked mentally abt weight and food. I went to weird kid arts high school and I went from the weird undiagnosed autistic girl to like a baddie in a few months. It fucked with me so hard, I feel so ugly now that I take Vyvanse and gained it back and some more. I know it's my body actually feeding itself thats why I gained and that's good, but I felt amazing literally starving. and thats scary and fucked up to me
That somewhat replicates of how I feel about my small figure and my glasses. At the same time, beauty is becoming more “neutral” but still being exaggerated and made more extreme. For skinny women, the K’s curvy figure is unattainable. For larger women without organized curves, the K’s figure is “a few surgeries away”. I deeply hope that beauty continues to be ripped apart and replaced with an acceptance of our bodies, and appreciation of our shape and the functions of our limbs and the unique shape and form of our faces, and realize that those in society who are “most attractive” are just as small of an amount as those who are “horrendously ugly”. I struggle to, but I take pride in my averageness. Since starting to learn anatomy (more specifically, morphology) in drawing, I fall in love with my bones and my natural muscles that are not a result of exercise or bodybuilding, but of my body’s natural structure. I personally have been finding some confidence in that aspect of myself, my unique construction as a human being of my genetics. My broken front tooth and my fucked up toes are just ignored when I look at how my body moves. It sounds weird, but it allows me to feel content with my body!
i’m the same but with my boobs, grew up with big fake boobs being the standard but my boobs weren’t fake so came with human “flaws”. now the trend is having small perky boobs with tiny nipples. i’ve never fit into any of it. i think girls women with naturally big boobs get overlooked in terms of how hard it is (and that’s without sexualisation, catcalling, groping, sexual harassment) went on a ramble but i relate to you! women’s bodies are treated like clothes trends. keep up with it, fit into it, buy this, buy that, throw out that.
I don't know if you read the comments at all but the YEARNING and the deep intense desire you feel to be loved and accepted is not going to be satisfied by a man, bestie. In my case the yearning was from emotionally unavailable parents not being able to love me how I needed, so I looked for it everywhere else but in myself. Your inner child, your inner teen are YEARNING for love - from YOU. For you to cherish them, support them, tell them they are PERFECT, funny, lovable. No man can fill the hole in your heart that is only for you to fill. Men can fill other holes, sure, but the hole in the heart filled should be filled by you first.
Holy shit. I’ve always told people and myself that I was ugly, especially my younger self. I HATE my childhood photos. While my parents always told me I was beautiful, I just couldn’t see it. My teen self just gave up and accepted “the ugly” and didn’t think it was worth it to do my hair, my nails, take care of my skin, etc, because I was confused and conflicted on what was “changing yourself” and what was “natural beauty”. It caused me a lot of turmoil. I think I need to have a chat with little me.
My dad passed suddenly 2 years ago and having his features and similarities in appearance is something I treasure now, having previously disliked it. It's a privilege to get older and keep that piece of him alive and I am so glad i didnt change a thing.
I grew up rejecting anything I deemed ‘feminine’ as I grew up feeling more comfortable looking more like a tomboy. Decades later, having come out (married to my wife for 20 years), performed as a drag king, and having the freedom to dress and present how I want - I feel a bit less anxiety about rejecting every trace of femininity in my self. I feel more comfortable sometimes stepping outside of men’s-only clothes (though it’s still on a small level… longer hair these days, work tops that are more ‘feminine’, some necklaces and brooches…). I’ve done special effects makeup… I’m good at zombies or wounds… but traditional makeup feels intimidating. I’ve been tempted to get some makeup basics (whatever that means) and try following some RUclips intro tutorial discreetly. Not necessarily to wear out, but just n appreciation of the knowledge and skill behind it - like learning watercolour or crocheting. I never participated in the ceremony of applying makeup growing up, but I can appreciate how much of a core memory it must be for some. ❤
@@AVspectre Thank you for sharing your story❤️ I grew up watching MUAs on RUclips. My desk is my happy place, it’s where I get to do my makeup. That’s awesome that you’re a drag king, I’ve been wanting to experiment with more theatrical makeup because I’ve been seeing Chappell Roan slay it on stage. I think it’s so cool to become a character with makeup. It should def be celebrated, it’s an art❤️ Have fun exploring those videos and trying it out! Wishing you the best
@@AVspectrei love that you’ve pushed yourself to grow! continue to do so. the only thing holding you back is yourself. you inspire others. your strength shows!
it’s crazy how rare it is to hear someone say they’re at peace or at least trying to be at peace with the features they have. this helped me a lot, thank you bae
I love what she said about liking that she looked like her parents.There is something really joyful in seeing parts of my mum and dad in my own face. Even though I have had such similar feelings about my appearance, my nose in particular, and the temptation to change it when I have the financial means to do so is hard to resist. Keep practising self-compassion!
Your nose is gorg and it fits your face sooo much. I was also tempted to change mine, but when i played around in PS trying to imagine what I'd look like, i was HORRIFIED at ANY changes. I looked like a stranger to myself. Immediately got dysphoric thinking "who's that person? It sure ain't me and I.DON'T.LIKE.HER."
Say what you will about beauty standards i just have to say, big eyes are timeless and they’re always beautiful. Your eyes have always been striking and hold so much expression. I also think it’s so brave of you to not go the plastic surgery route when we see literally everyone getting nose jobs, lip fillers, fillers in their cheeks, facelifts - BUT if you ever do make that decision it won’t take away from your comedy and how you are as a person. And you’re right we can all afford to be nicer and kinder to ourselves
I agree she'll slay either way I just dont want her to do something she'll regret out of insecurity like some people do with plastic surgery, but I know plenty of girls that feel like a million bucks after getting a tiny bit of lip filler. It's not inherently bad, but the way brit talks abt herself, and how she said she has an addictive personality, these things can get really hard on someone
this episode was really cathartic for me all around. going through another heartbreak, and having someone i see as an older sister figure go through that with me right now, the good the bad and the hopeless, is very comforting right now. i know you know this, but in case you need a reminder like i do, you’re worthy of so much love and worthy of someone that’ll give all the love and light you radiate right back to you. ❤
REJECT MODERNITY EMBRACE UNIQUE APPEARANCES !!!!!!! ❤ seriously it is SO refreshing having someone like Brittany in the public media space. We need more of this! I am so so beyond bored of contemporary beauty standards. Everyone should know they are beautiful BECAUSE they look different and to embrace and play to those differences 🥰
Props to you for not bowing to current beauty standards. Especially considering the trend cycle and what’s popular now will inevitably fall out of fashion. Your face is unique and gorgeous and I miss the time when we all had our own unique faces. So happy you’re sticking to your guns
Highlighting your own unique beauty features is absolutely IT! The tide seems to already be shifting back to natural beauty and uniqueness, once everyone has something and looks the same it gets tired, there’s no personality or soul to it. We live in a world of constant trends they’ll always come and go, but personal style is forever. I’m always so impressed by people who have such a clear idea of who they are and present themselves as such. Getting there myself but working on it!
BRITTANY I could literally listen to an entirely separate podcast with you talking about art history…you make something that I never thought about sooo palatable and you’ve prompted me to do my own research, like…I NEED more art history from the eyes of Supreme Leader Broski…I also love how whenever you talk about it, the glow you get from the genuine interest and excitement, I literally love it so much😫🫶
You are constantly meeting a new version of yourself, you are consistently reintroducing yourself to yourself. I literally started tearing up and had to run into the bathroom at work. I’ve felt that so hard lately. I keep wondering how I didn’t know her earlier, but I did. She’s just growing, moving and changing. Why can’t I give myself grace for this?
I loved this so much too. I think sometimes in society people get stuck on you are who you are, especially when you hit your mid 20s onwards. As someone who has struggled with a lot of eating disorders and social anxiety, but now trying to make up for lost time by being social/partying/eating/trying things I’ve never before, but getting worried that I’ll never be that person at my core and it’s too late, to hear Brittany say you’re allowed to change and can constantly reintroduce yourself to yourself is so beautiful and exactly what I needed to hear 😭
I dunno how old you are, but I've seen a lot of uplifting memes lately about how people are obsessive over your 20s being the "greatest time of your life", only for you to hit 30 and realize your life has just started. In the words of Guillermo del Toro, who was happier in his 50s than he ever was in his 20s: "I think the sublime confusion is from nineteen to twenty-nine. You think you are late for everything, you're a has-been, nothing is happening, there's no opportunity for you, the world is closed, everything is a disaster, you wanna die. And then you're thirty." You're going to change, always, and you are going to become happier, always. You can give yourself grace for change, but that's up to YOU. May as well start now, eh?
It means a lot when you come on here and share your low moments because I am going through very similar struggles right now that are completely consuming and isolating. It’s really comforting to know even just one other person understands the pain associated with just wanting to feel loved, valued, and beautiful all while dealing with the external pressure to strive for those things or else you’re deemed “not worthy”. You are extremely valuable and worthy to me by sharing your experiences, humor, and thoughts with all of us. You also help motivate me to really dive into my passions unapologetically and take some time to laugh to help distract from the hard times. Please remember how much of a light you are to so many of us ❤
So much love for Brittany's willingness to share such vulnerable parts of herself with us. I'm sure lots of women go through this and have similar thoughts, so it's nice to feel validated and empowered through watching her journey of self discovery! BROSKI NATION FOREVER!
I am a lady at the ripe age of 34. I am the epitome of what men call the “angry, man-hatin feminist”. I gave up on men a long time ago and am now with the literal love of my life & soulmate (cis het male). Here are the things I learned about actual love: -You don’t need to give your person grace or patience. You won’t need to. -Your person will want to touch, play & create joy with you every moment you’re together. If you find someone who believes in the “honeymoon phase” & allows passion to fade, walk away. -Your person will be as giving, intuitive & reciprocative as you. If you find yourself saying “men just aren’t like that, I can’t expect that of him”. Walk away. -Their actions speak for themselves. You don’t have to wait to see them or wait for them to warm up/open up. -You can come to them with concerns & they won’t flinch. They will immediately want to repair, improve & fix issues and they will follow through on it. -Safety, communication & love is as much a priority to them as they are for you. Long story short…don’t settle for anything less than what you’re able to bring to a relationship. Obviously there are more unevolved men than evolved, that’s the reality. Don’t waste time wading through the BS, just make the commitment to yourself that you won’t ever allow unevolved men to waste your time ever again.
Facts. If you focus on building high self-esteem and actively practice the boundaries you have in place, you’ll skip half the bullshit that comes with majority of men because *they’ll be put off* (?!) by you having such high self esteem and self regard. You don’t even have to lift a finger (other than bettering yourself) to take out over half of them and save time. (Pssst, 34 is a beautiful age! all the women I admire and want to be like are in their 30s)
@@psycherevivedbypreach friend preach! And I agree, the 30’s have been my favorite decade thus far! And I have no fear of growing older 🥰 I have ADHD and so does he, so we already feel like kids as is anyways 😂😂😂
Saying that you won’t have to give the right person grace or patience is the most insane thing I’ve ever heard. In any healthy long term relationship, you will still get annoyed at each other. Both will make small (emphasis on small) mistakes. True love is growing through it together and putting in the effort and patience to continuously level up together. What you described is the most unrealistic thing I’ve ever heard, and if you truly have NO patience for your partner then I sure hope they leave your ass as soon as you even annoy them slightly, since apparently that’s not allowed for you.
i usually don't comment on youtube videos as much but honestly this report hit close to home and i have to share my two cents. all throughout highschool i painted myself to be this entirely different person and it got to a point where if i didn't wear makeup or finally built up the courage to show my bare face to my friends they would be kind of taken aback by how different i looked. now that i left and have been able to kind of let go of the addictive need to put on a full face of makeup to go to a gas station, i've really realized how unempowering it was for me back then, because i wasn't being true to myself and we as people are always doomed to eventually revert back to our true form if that makes sense. all that to say, i felt this rant in my very soul and resonated with it beyond comprehension and i am begging you not to continue to feel the need to change a thing about yourself. you're so beautiful in a way that surpasses the traditional cloned beauty standard or "iphone face" if that makes sense. your face and demeanor and aura is so poetic and beautiful and in my opinion you've always reminded me of those greek marble statues people admire in museums. however, whatever your endeavors are brittany, just know we will stand with and behind you, you're so loved and beautiful and appreciated and damn anyone who's too stupid to see that. edit: btw i apologize if that was hard to read english isn't my first language
The instrument the woman is playing in the background of the painting is a double reed pipe called an aulos! There’s an excellent 15 min video called Rediscovering Ancient Greek Music. They play replicas of ancient instruments accompanied by a choir singing a Greek epic poem. Also Heliogabalus was a Roman emperor who replaced the god Jupiter with the deity known as Elagabal (the sun god in his home country of Syria). He was assassinated after only 4 years in power at age eighteen.
During the last conversation I had with my grandma before she died, she told me her favorite movie of all time was shrek 2. It was totally out of nowhere, and now it's all I think about when the topic of shrek 2 comes up. Love the episode, keep being great. Also you should check out Hippo Campus. I could totally see their music being on a favorite songs of the week list in the future
I really love hearing Brittany’s passion about art and it’s significance & meaning to her. I’m in conservation of books so am not involved with paintings like these, but it’s still such a joy to listen to someone express their love for history & historic objects and to know that that’s what is being encouraged by doing all the conservation/restoration work that keeps them accessible.
I have been watching your videos and following you on Tiktok for a very long time and this is my first time listening to your podcast and I just want to say that I love it so far! I think it is so beautiful and responsible of you to be so open about your own insecurities and not going down the usual route of trying to change absolutely everything about yourself to fit the standard, knowing that would erase you and part of your heritage in that process. I think that is an extremely powerful message to give to the world and especially to young girls watching. To preach loving and learning to accept yourself no matter how uncomfortable it may be because you know its worth it. I myself have a bumo on my nose that I was insecure about from the age of 12 to 20 and there was nothing I wanted more than a nose job during that period of my life. Suddenly, I decided I was going to try and embrace it and I taught myself to perceive my nose in a different way, also by highlighting how it's my dad's nose, and my granddad's nose, how it reflects every single generation that has come before me and how the people around me in my family have it too, all the people that I love so much. After a while it started to work, and now 4 years later I absolutely LOVE my nose and I can't even believe I wanted to badly to get rid of it. I am so proud of myself for learning to accept and love that part of myself, because its part of me and what my parents gifted me (as you so beautifully put it). So thank you so much for your vulnerability and for spreading this important message. Love you so much!
i remember being at a point in my life where i never left the house unless i had full makeup on. i would be late to things and having panic attacks bc i Could Not leave the house unless fully done up. because the makeup just warped how i saw myself and i wasn’t pretty unless i put it on. eventually i snapped out of it and i refused makeup for a long time but now ive gotten into working with my own features and making what i look like the focus. i don’t wear foundation because i really think it messes with my head? i want MY nose and my cheeks, imperfections and all
Honestly just can’t stop thinking about how hard the edits are gonna go with these podcast clips playing before the ones of Brittany in a happy healthy relationship
21:42 stoppp it is actually 5:00 in the morning and i am getting ready for work on the verge of tears brittany has such a beautiful mind and i love how she is never afraid to say these things. Its something i have been afraid of for a very long time and i have never heard anyone talk about this.
okay but your intelligence about the knowledge and creative process/ passion of art needs to be noted! It’s so beautiful, oh my God!!! The details that you recognize in just the everyday beauty of human life too…i’m screaming!! i get a history lesson every time you post
Girl you got me crying over reminiscing through my makeup looks/mindset over time. Going from hours of practicing my art of makeup to now putting on moisturizer due to life changes is wild. I think you and your current make style is absolutely beautiful! I hope you do find romantic love, but we’ll be your witness until then girl.
Brittany, I met Peso Pluma on Saturday when he came into my work… I wouldn’t have known who he was without you talking about him on this podcast. I get why you love him! The sweetest man!
Hi Brittany I’m also 26 going on 27 from New Jersey and I love your space and platform online. I’m a nurse, I’ve worked with patients who have gotten plastic surgery. At times they come back, what I’ve noticed is the similarity of people not being happy with their image. I’ve known the fittest of girls who still edit their pictures to be smaller. There is enough space for you to be who you are. If you ever change anything about yourself I pray that it’s coming from a place of self love. It’s as simple as “those who mind, don’t matter and those that matter don’t mind” there is only one you, please be kind to yourself Anyways, you are loved beyond what you can imagine ❤ I’m single too so cheers for not settling for less especially because love is so important, we deserve to be loved righteously
Brittany I'm so glad you haven't changed how you look, I also have a big forehead, it's been my biggest insecurity all my life. Seeing a woman in media that I look up to and that I cherish and who looks similar to me, has helped me embrace more how I look.
I can’t even begin to describe, how much I am touched by the first 25 minutes of this episode. Especially when you talked about how makeup holds memories and in a way, a different version of our self’s. Over the years I had many different ways of putting on makeup and therefore presenting myself. I started so early on, I think when I was around 13 or so, which is so sad honestly. Because back then, it wasn’t a way of art and presenting my features, the way I love them, like I do now but the sheer horror of imagining someone, seeing my bare face, the way it is. Back then I was so torn apart. Wanting to fit in but also being myself at the end of the day. When you talked about meeting these different yous, from different times of our live, it really hit me. Because I have never seen it in this way. You wrapped it (as always) in such beautiful words. In general, your view on the world has been eye opening for me and I just wanted to say, you are a big inspiration with a beautiful soul and it’s such a wonderful day when I can listen to your podcasts.
being completely honest, you have absolutely nothing to worry about referring to your looks. i watched a broski report one time in the middle of the night and cried bc i wanted to look like u, u are so perfect, and you’re gorgeous.
As an vintage fashion enthusiast, I’m so excited with your interest on 1920’s fashion!! Your face was indeed the beauty standard for ages, as the greek-roman profile was the ruler in arts. Talking about make in special, the one you shown is indeed very artistic and beautiful. Make up was, and still is for some people and some places, a delicate topic. It’s said it was common for both men and women on french court, but as display of vanity was seen as shameful after the revolution, it felt back on its place reserved for theatre actors and prostitutes, which at that that were kind of synonymous. Then came the popularisation of cinema in the 20’s. As the cameras oversaturated the light exposure, the faces kind of looked blank on screen, so the necessity of shadowing and colouring the face with expression. That’s why it’s common the sad looking eyebrows, because the actresses where supposed to display that emotion. Men did also not only wear basic makeup, but lipstick as well at that time haha. With the evolution, and acceptance of make up by the commoners, even though cameras didn’t need the contours of makeup on actors faces anymore, female makeup thrives, specifically because it was a beauty product that was cheaper to buy, as the world would be soon war again. It’s said that women in Britain would lack anything but lipstick during rationing, and use eyeliner to draw the line formed by pantyhose behind the legs. So that era had still the millennial beauty standard, small mouth and big eyes, on a pale fair skin. After the WWII, the idea of having muscles and being outside, brought skull oriented face features and tan came to fashion because of eugenist ideology. If you want to incorporate something inspired by that, I recommend you look more into the 30’s, that it’s the same as the 20’s but more glamorous! See Myrna Loy, Greta Garbo, Marlene Dietrich, and even Better Davis later. And finally, as fashion (and history) always repeats itself, there’s 70’s makeup, that’s 20’s inspired!!! The first Gatsby came that decade, and there was the urge to look different from the previous decade, the 60’s, with its heavy dark makeup. Look for Italian singer Mina Mazzini or the Spanish singers of the Baccara duet. (Funfacts: the painting of Napoleon’s coronation has his mother placed on a higher point than the pope, even though she didn’t attend, as said. And the flower painting is from a movement called Pre Raphaelite, that was a respond to the mass production of industrial design of the late XIXth century. It’s the Arts and Crafts and Art Nouveau movement of painting. 😊)
13:00 I have things to say about this. I’m 29. The things I worried about when I was 27 vs 25 vs 22 all drastically changed as my body actually began aging. I had a baby when I was 23, which was a completely jarring experience for me and my relationship with my body. I felt like a foreigner in my own skin, everything about me looked different. But I credit that drastic physical change for opening up a period of positive growth in my life. I asked myself “Why did I hate the way I looked so much before I had a baby? I looked way better than I do now, and I wasted so much time focusing on all the wrong things”. I decided after that epiphany to end that negative cycle with myself. And I got mad 😂 I wasn’t going to fucking beat myself up at 30 for not appreciating my beauty and youth when I was 23. Having my identity completely changed by having a daughter, really forced me to evaluate what is important to me. If I value connection, deep bonds, good friends, and healthy love… then why am I judging myself with such shallow standards? Why am I not seeing in myself, the beauty I see in the people who are close to me? All the surgeries I planned on having once I saved the money were completely forgotten by age 27. When I stopped focusing so much on what I believed I lacked in physical attractiveness, my connection with my partner became stronger. We got through the really tough period of being young, new parents together, and our bodies show it. We see that journey physically in each other every day. Nature is a beautiful thing 🥲 🙅♀️Not advocating for having children to give your life meaning 🙅♀️ I don’t think kids are for everyone, and I don’t think they’re necessary to live a fulfilling life. I’m just saying it was a big change in my life that gave me some perspective. TLDR: the older you get and the more you live, the less you’ll care about what you look like ❤ And that’s not a bad thing.
@@ccselva ❤️ Thank you for the kind words! I think working with older women helped me a lot too. A lot of the entertainment industry being based in LA creates this false idea that the prime of your life is over with your 20s. I personally don’t struggle so much with my changing appearance anymore, but I still get anxious about time passing in general. All of the older women in my life just laugh and tell me the best years are ahead. There’s a beautiful show I watch too called What’s Underneath by StyleLikeU, where they have thoughtful interviews about whatever the guest wants to talk about. For those feeling down about getting older, I thought Stacy London’s episode was really great.
@@ccselva thank you for the kind words. I think a lot of the entertainment industry being based in LA gives the average person this false idea that the prime of life is over by age 30. It’s just not true. Beauty doesn’t have to be restricted to the mainstream ❤️
I broke up with my partner of 3 years a few months ago and your weekly videos are the highlight of my week. You make me feel seen and heard and not so alone and that I don’t need a man in order to be happy. Love your content🩷
i open the door, i sit down and sip my coffee. i’m seconds onto the highway, with clear intent of a safe drive - suddenly, a broski report. i sigh, taking my hands off the wheel and closing my eyes
i feel so unspeakably sad watching brittany speak about beauty standards and how they can make a person feel unlovable. i've felt the same until i found a partner who loved everything i hated about myself and that made me see beauty in them. She is so smart and funny and has so much to offer and deserves so much better romantically than what she's getting
I have my degree in art history and have lost my passion for it due to not being in school and not having a job related to it and not many big museums around me. But you discussing it in this pod really helped rejuvenate that passion in me. I love art and this history behind it it’s so fascinating
@@JusticeRoothpait’s definitely available!! i have it on my spotify playlist at least haha. it’s “holding out for a hero” by frou frou; who happens to be one my favourite artists. so if you like the style of that song definitely check out their other songs and the vocalist imogen heap!
Probably being over dramatic but Brittany is putting her heart and soul in to these videos. She makes me feel every single emotion. She really just cuts all the bullshit and tells the truth and she accepts it.
You definitely don’t NEED any cosmetic procedures done. I love how vulnerable you are about it too, because I was the same way. When I finally felt like I could afford to get something done, I decided against it. I don’t wanna spend my one precious life worrying about if someone finds me attractive or not. Because honestly, I don’t care lol. I’ve been complimented by random men, and that doesn’t mean anything compared to the compliments I get from my closest friends. I realized that my favorite compliments are when someone calls me witty, or funny, or kind. You’re a breath of fresh air to me and so many people and that’s why you’re so popular. Your smarts and wits are something we need more of. And you’re a timeless beauty! It’s exhausting trying to keep up with beauty standards as a woman. Yet conventionally unattractive men are hyped up every single day. So I agree with you. I opt out of letting it consume me 😅
i’m not done with the video yet, but I literally want to tell you Brittany that you’re so real and so authentic and beautiful and I was really searching for an influencer or someone on social media that speaks and does things like they’re not a robot, like they’re not fake and I’m so glad that I’ve come across you because I genuinely feel like you’re a real person and you’re so relatable. But not relatable in the sense of like how society says what’s relatable, but as in I can literally relate to everything you say, or implement it in my life realistically, you speak so realistically and so authentically it is so refreshing and so beautiful please never ever ever ever change. Please stay your true, authentic self. I love how you’re not becoming like people, you’re becoming like yourself, your true authentic self and I think that’s so amazing and it’s honestly so inspiring for me to become myself also, especially being a plus size woman. I constantly am so hard to myself about what I eat and that I have to get to a certain size, a certain looking figure to get all the things that come with life, but you just reminded me that that’s not true and I should become healthy and i should become better for myself and not for society not for anything else or anyone else except God and myself. I really really really don’t want you to change anything about yourself, you’re beautiful and I feel like that confidence of just speaking “ I am beautiful “ truly makes other people realize how beautiful you really are. It’s weird how that works but just coming on here and being like I’m beautiful and that’s it and literally not giving no fucks is the most beautiful thing you can ever do I love it. Keep doing what you’re doing. Stay fresh stay beautiful stay authentic stay yourself, have a blessed day.
"you are always meeting a new version of yourself, and you are consistently reintroducing yourself.." you have no clue how bad I needed to hear this. I have been having such a hard time accepting the changes I'm experiencing with my appearance as I get older (I'm only 25 which is so dumb like bitch i'm still so young but idk why I'm starting to feel and see the affects of aging??). I was just crying in therapy yesterday about how horrible my self esteem is and how I don't recognize myself right now. I know logically it all starts with perspective and mind set. I need to stop rejecting this 25 year old version of myself. I need to be kind and open and welcome her with loving arms. She's just a girl. why am I so afraid of her :( thank you for talking about this and beauty standards. I really needed this today.
I'm also 25 and feel like my life is ending and beginning at the same time. I love that we can use this space to tell each other we're not alone in this shit 🫶
The way you described the woes of romantic love is just so spot on. Thanks for sharing your journey and being so vulnerable. You deserve everything! I'm also at the exact point of being happy with life, with my kiddo's and social circle, with what I've built careerwise, everything. I'd also love to share it with someone. But the road to get to that point, the amount of encounters that where freaking bizar and painful, the battle field that is de current dating world: I'm so done. I like a challenge but this is just draining. Wish you nothing but love, big hug!
i think its so beautiful that you know you have the ability to succumb to plastic surgery but dont do it and instead learn to love yourself the way you are. thats absolutely amazing and will leave you WAY more internally fulfilled instead of just externally
Love the real talk Brittany - when you said “there was an era, a time when women who looked like me had their time…” I teared up a bit. I’ve really struggled for so many years with comparing myself to every freakin person I see. I have some pronounced European facial features too and feel like I look so different compared to every other woman I see, especially those my age - I kind of feel like an entirely different species. I really appreciated your take on beauty standards, thank you babes 🤍
There’s a girl at my school wears really dramatic eyeliner and every time I see her it just lights me up a bit cuz her confidence and carelessness just makes me so happy because she gives me a powerful presence idk. Please bring back powerful makeup like this I wanna see every girl wear super dramatic makeup with bright colours
brit i love you SO much but my take is that spongebob man’s wife and baby also deserved someone to come home to at night and as much as ari deserves that love she did not need to steal it from another woman regardless of what she wanted or needed at the time, she made another woman feel the same feelings she’s describing in that song
I love brittany, but as someone who claims she such a feminist and then says she’s a huge fan of a woman who stole another woman’s husband when they just had a baby?? Makes no sense.
@@BeccaPatches they got together when Lily and Ethan already ended their marriage. We don’t know how much Ethan is involved in the parenting so let‘s not start assuming. As it seems a baby couldn’t have saved the marriage.

I agree with you 100% bestie but also you gotta remember.. the southern culture is soo toxic in that way. Personally growing up in Oklahoma, I grew up watching my mother CAKE makeup on every morning. It’s something we learn and see as young women. We see the women in our lives get dolled up every SINGLE day, cover all their “flaws”, and talk down on themselves because that’s southern culture. Tanned skin, bleached blonde voluminous hair, perfect white teeth, and the sharpest of contours. It’s not easy to escape the idea of looking “perfect”, especially when you’re from the south and that’s all you are taught. 😢
I have recently started painting again after a long period of grieving multiple familial traumas and loss, and I am not gonna lie it is difficult to pick myself up and get back into something that is so emotionally connected. Because it forces you to look inward…And suddenly you find yourself with hours of silence to just sit and contemplate everything! As of right now I am doing commissions, and art shows. I have done a couple of original pieces, but they are still referencing characters that already exist. I don’t know when I will do an “original piece” With my own characters and my own places and what not, but it’s definitely brewing and I’ve got the itch to get creative again.😊❤
Brittany don't give up!!! I met my bf at such a weird time in my life, a very transitional period for me, but I stopped "dating" and eventually met him. Became best friends over 4ish months, then started dating "officially" and this it's the most beautiful blessing being in an amazing (and healthy) relationship. We definitely were hooking up before things became official lmao, but girl don't give up! It will come to you when it should, you're gorgeous and bring so much light into our lives, there is someone who will be able to give that back to you ❤️
i’ve spent so much time doing full faces of makeup but ever since i started covering my bottom eyelid in black eyeshadow and then doing a small wing, i haven’t felt the need to do any more makeup besides my eyebrows. finding a style that compliments my features has been so helpful, and i’ve never seen anyone do what i do so i feel like i made it up for myself
it’s honestly a rare occurrence to actually reach self-actualization. we can always become more than what we actually are. this isn’t a bad thing per say, just the human experience.
Girl you HAVE to get away from L.A. beauty standards. You are gorgeous, hilarious, and intelligent. Please never start surgery or injections, your natural beauty is breath taking
And not that people who get work done look bad. They all look THE SAME. Our girl is above that. She knows this and I hope she hangs onto it ✨
@@YistheRumGonExactly.
Yes! Elective cosmetic surgery puts money in misogynists pockets!!❗️
that stuff already has such a huge impact on the rest of the world.. i really can’t imagine what its like working in that industry with eyes on you at all times and the pressure to look like everyone else.. Ik theres a lot of work in LA but i’ve heard too many influencers say its damaging to mental health
Idk ive noticed this trend that if someone is successful career wise or whatever you want to call it they're more likely to struggle with romantic relationships and its the other way around for others...
Brittany in her Jo March era. “And I am so sick of people saying that love is all a woman is fit for! I’m so sick of it! But… I’m so lonely!!!”
Literally what I thought about too lol
As someone who would’ve been THE IT GIRL for the Irish famine, thank you for saying “women that looked like me had their moment”. I LOVE THAT PERSPECTIVE.
my favorite cultural reference in Shrek 2 is the OJ Simpson white bronco reference in the "car chase" followed directly by a spoof of the show Cops where they find "catnip" (weed) on puss in boots. HIGH ART
IT’S SUCH A GOOD SCENE- especially when puss is like “that’s uh- not mine😺”
The freaking pepper grinder
"that's uh... not mine"
Best part of the entire movie imo.

It is so refreshing to consume media from Britney. There are no "influencers" that have thought provoking content anymore while also being current and funny and "in". I'm so glad there is finally a women I can relate to in current media and popular culture. A role model fr.
Exactly this!!! The high/low brow content is wonderful. She is not above making silly jokes about what’s “in” in the zeitgeist, but equally is so thoughtful, insightful and intelligent. She’s so deserving of all her success she’s so uniquely brilliant.
There actually is quite a lot but can be more hidden. Check out jordan theresa❤
you phrased it so perfectly. exactly she is the only person i see online being who she is and not filter it you know?
I think Brittany needs to see this comment because this is so important. Her individuality is the reason she has become so successful. She stands out & thts exactly what we want.
Idk I think a collab with Tana woulda been cool 🤷♀️
I literally started crying when I heard you saying "it is really unfair to hold people to old version of themselves". It is something that I deal with and I allowed some people to use my old version against me and it hurts like hell. If they have the emotional capability, people can learn and grow and change. Thank you Brittany for bringing joy to our lives. You have no idea in what ways you saved us. You're beautiful and precious.
“the things that make me, me, i am not willing to give up to meet some standard of beauty that like i said, is fleeting and will change…” is the realist thing i’ve heard in a really long time and it gave me such a reality shock. ily brittany❤
Time stamp?
@@natalie2marie 14:20
Uh girl you look like Princess Diana, you don't need to change a thing. No need to be on trend when your beauty is a timeless classic.
Preach!

She's IDENTICAL to Bonnie Tyler in the 70s
Fun fact about Napoleon's coronation painting: you can see his mother watching proudly in the background, but she wasn't actually at his coronation because she hated him. Napoleon wanted her to be in the painting though to revise history.
Wow… that’s actually kinda sad. :/
Man started war with almost all of Western European ofc he had mommy issues
Did she hate him before his dictatorship or was it a response?
Dang bro he needed momma’s love…wtf man 😢
I’ve always hated, HATED that my stomach is not flat. When I was 105 lbs and now 14 years later at 185 lbs, my stomach is not flat. At my most fit and my least fit, abs or not, my stomach is not flat. It just won’t do it. And I go through waves of hating it still but I first loved it when I realized most renaissance paintings and statues look like me. I’m Greek and Italian, I’m literally the descendant of these immortalized goddesses, and I actually look like them. I’m a goddess.
LOVE THIS 😭❤️
Felt!! ❤
RELATABLE!! No matter how much I work out, that tummy still there. I'm just waiting for my brain to catch up so I can feel comfortable in cute dresses someday.
Fuck yea you are, hun!
Girl I love this, ive always been on the opposite spectrum, scarily underweight and frail, I have disabilities that make it hard to gain and yet I also don't have a flat stomach, I'm 100% convinced its due to the uterus, it's never gonna be flat and I think its beautiful that your body looks like literal venus, I paint and have never painted a flat stomach yet
“James Maslow’s hierarchy of needs” has me fucking rolling
oHHHH the way i was stanning katelyn tarver instead in her a little more free era really sealed my gay little deal: love alone!! oh ouch
I have a nose that is slender and pointy but not in the button nose way, in the way that people have told me I look like a mouse. And I have sometimes talked about how much I despise my nose and once my mother teared up and told me "don't say that. You have my mom's nose." That put things into perspective for me, because, while I hardly remember my grandmother's face, I have photos of her and I've always thought she was beautiful. There's that saying that your existence is proof that for generations your features have been loved, and while I think that sounds a little corny, maybe it's true.
This is beautiful. Thank you for sharing this
Britany hit close with this one. It’s wanting to be patient to find that one person but not knowing why it hasn’t happened yet or why it’s taking longer for you. That crippling fear you’ll run out of time or maybe that sort of love was just not meant to happen to you. I love you Britany
8:22 "you should never have to beg someone to act right" fuck man that hits home
"you are always meeting new versions of yourself" truly brought a tear to my eye. I've been going through a similar process of trying to understand which parts of myself are performance and which parts are really me and hearing you talk about that made me feel so incredibly seen. so much love 💕
"I look like my parents & I love that." Thank you so much for saying this. I think we've been seeing this casual erasure of our unique ancestry; We all want to look like the "standard" when our natural appearance has been beautifully passed down through the generations. You may never see this, but I just had to say how much I love you using your platform to speak on things like aging with friends, accentuating the features we dare to love (Seriously, the 20's inspired makeup was meant for you), and embracing who we are as a whole. Sending all the love & appreciation your way ♡
As a Greek woman who got a nose job, it broke my heart to hear my mother say “your nose reminded me of my dads”
… I never got to meet my grandfather. He died when she was 16 from cancer. I’ll never not regret my nose job ever since then.
Ladies, DO NOT CHANGE YOUR UNIQUENESS
Saw a transformation few days ago and my first thought was “imagine looking at your family and not finding yourself?”
The idea that I carry the features of my heritage is the only thing keeping me away from surgery ngl. Being beautiful might make my life (a lot) easier but I can't bear the thought of erasing my literal genetic identity.
As a small town east coast girl who has been through LA life… I’m genuinely worried for you out there girl. I understand it’s local to collab but it’s a dangerous environment for decent people like you in Hollywood. Please keep yourself surrounded by your uplifting closest friends and never forget how gorgeous you are inside and out. We all see it!!! Trust me girl you DONT want the men LA has to offer.
❤
I took my dishwashing gloves off to type this: all my friends have big crazy lips and get work done and sometimes I really feel ugly next to them. When you said “I look like my parents” that’s what I needed to hear. I do too. I will never change my face. Love u Brittany
the james maslow (big time rush) hierarchy of needs is actually the funniest thing ive heard in a long time
Please don’t ever change your face. I think you are one of the most beautiful people alive. You are unique and drop dead gorgeous. Everything about you draws me and I just know I’m not the only person that feels that way.
Agreed ❤
YESSS preach, I love how the whole community hypes Brittany up because she deserves it and she is GORGEOUS
plus shes so funny tahts why shes special
i understand ariana's definitely not had it easy with growing up in the spotlight & having more pressure on her than we could ever imagine but i just can't get on that train bc ive always gotten the impression that she's not a girls girl. like dating a married man and immediately releasing a song called "the boy is mine" is crazyyyyyy
Im a new fan, has brittany spoken about that situation at all? She seems to think very highly of arianna which is weird to me considering what she's done lol
I feel this so hard. Not to mention how she's dressed up as other races etc. And as a lesbian I hate that people act like I have to love her because I'm gay and woman presenting. She's done nothing for me as a queer woman, and continues to perpetuate things that just don't align with my beliefs. I think straight women idolize her a lot because she was confident in her sexuality (which if that helps someone, I'm glad!) But she's not a feminist icon, shes especially not a queer icon, nor is she a "girls girl". She's another cishet straight woman who still struggles with the weight of the patriarchy, but doesn't challenge it enough to make any real moves. Sure she can be capable of change, and probably has written a few great things I haven't paid mind to. But I can't get passed the icky feeling I get as a lesbian, watching people say she's a feminist icon when I feel like she may say she is, but her actions and the way she.carries herself doesn't seem like it. Idk. I wish her the best but definitely not for me lol
i feel like a lot of the people who are fine w everything ari has done tend to be in highschool/college or live in LA. and they thinks it’s normal bc that is their normal. the cheating and the he-said she-said, playing helen keller to ur man crush Monday’s public relationship for a fun couple weeks w him. like that’s their everyday. i also just don’t get the idolizing celebs who would’ve bullied you in highschool, esp when she’s been so vocal ab being anti-racist and ari has been extremely sus in that dept. she dislikes some celebrities for their inaction (not using their platform. etc) but she loves other celebrities IN SPITE of what they actually HAVE done. and that speaks volumes to me.

no because you’re spot on, we’re so quick to jump on an artist when they do something “problematic” but when they’re someone we like and look up to, we can always find a way to excuse their wrongdoing??? We can always justify their bad decisions and behaviour with vague excuses???? Doesn’t sit right with me. But people are entitled to their opinions and I’m not obliged to justify myself or try to change their opinion.
I had a nose job several years ago because I was being bullied by my ex boyfriend about my appearance and I felt like I needed to make him happy. I also ended up getting buccal fat removal because I thought I would be better looking and more desirable and sort of fell for what’s becoming known as “fad” plastic surgery. Or “tik tok” plastic surgery- which is just terrifying to me when I think about it. I wish I had done my research and learned that buccal fat removal is usually done in tandem with face lifts and isn’t recommended on its own because it can lead to premature aging and loss of elasticity. It’s taken me two years to emotionally heal after getting buccal fat removal because I really was shocked by how much my face had changed. I struggled because I didn’t recognize myself in the mirror and I started to realize, “I loved how I looked before”. Those insecurities I felt were because someone else put them in my thoughts. I’m a literal walking warning story to people who can take things too far and also; make sure you’re doing it for the right reasons and want to make YOU happy. It’s important too to make sure you’re in a mentally/emotionally well place as well as a healthy stable environment; before getting plastic surgery and you should discuss with your doctor or a therapist first. I try to speak out when I can ❤. Be safe out there 🙌
i wish nothing but the best for you friend 🩷
@@KeevanNortonthank you for the kindness 🙌. Honestly I’m doing a lot better and I’ve received a treatment called ultherapy to help “fix” things. It’s made a huge difference but it’s very expensive and not sustainable… It would’ve been cheaper to leave my ex and go to therapy. I try to laugh about it now and am considering making a video on here as a psa.
@@emiche711 ugh money!! good luck with the treatments and therapy. you should absolutely make a video, i’m sure it’d help a lot of people
My love, I’m so sorry that happened. You are still beautiful and you are still so worthy of love and respect always!!!!!
Thank you so much for not outright trying to tell people not to get plastic surgery. Some people are so preachy about it, it hurts. I have like, two minor (MINOR!!!!) aspects I want to change, but I swear plastic surgery is being demonized so much because strangers automatically assume I'll go crazy and get 300 BBLS and a full pound of lip filler (I do not have such a desire).
Thank you for sharing your story as well. The buccal fat surgeries are becoming an extreme trend, you are correct. It is unfortunate that you fell for their schemes, but that's what they wanted you to do in the first place; that is not your fault. Our society is profiting off of our insecurities and using them against us.
You will learn to love yourself time and time again. You'll always change in ways you never expect! And it's okay to doubt yourself sometimes too. The kindness that you have displayed in just one short comment says enough about who you are and who you will continue to be.
growing up in the 2000s, i was curvy with thick eye brows. i couldnt wear low rise jeans and people would call me unibrow (my eye brows dont touch theyre just thick?) i was so happy in college that the kardasians popularized big butts with hour glass shape and thick eye brows. Now that baggy clothes are back in I look like an amorphous blob if i wear wide leg jeans. In high school when i got my braces off people ive known all my life wanted to date me. You will feel the suspicion of "you didnt want me then what has changed" and the cosmetic procedures wont change how you feel about yourself or men.
Man, I get that feeling. mid rise bootcut jeans are the only pants that don't make me look like a blob or a sausage casing. I remember being so happy when curvy was in, and then thicker eyebrows were finally in, and then I kinda realized that it was only if it was "perfect" curves, and then as both of those have started to wane back out of fashion I realized "oh I just..don't give a shit anymore"
This is the truth.
It's so true this happened to me when I lost like 60 pounds from being overperscribed Adderall. I've always been a bigger girl and then dropping down to a weight that's "conventional" really fucked with my head, probably gave me an ED cause I'm still so fucked mentally abt weight and food. I went to weird kid arts high school and I went from the weird undiagnosed autistic girl to like a baddie in a few months. It fucked with me so hard, I feel so ugly now that I take Vyvanse and gained it back and some more. I know it's my body actually feeding itself thats why I gained and that's good, but I felt amazing literally starving. and thats scary and fucked up to me
That somewhat replicates of how I feel about my small figure and my glasses. At the same time, beauty is becoming more “neutral” but still being exaggerated and made more extreme. For skinny women, the K’s curvy figure is unattainable. For larger women without organized curves, the K’s figure is “a few surgeries away”. I deeply hope that beauty continues to be ripped apart and replaced with an acceptance of our bodies, and appreciation of our shape and the functions of our limbs and the unique shape and form of our faces, and realize that those in society who are “most attractive” are just as small of an amount as those who are “horrendously ugly”. I struggle to, but I take pride in my averageness. Since starting to learn anatomy (more specifically, morphology) in drawing, I fall in love with my bones and my natural muscles that are not a result of exercise or bodybuilding, but of my body’s natural structure. I personally have been finding some confidence in that aspect of myself, my unique construction as a human being of my genetics. My broken front tooth and my fucked up toes are just ignored when I look at how my body moves. It sounds weird, but it allows me to feel content with my body!
i’m the same but with my boobs, grew up with big fake boobs being the standard but my boobs weren’t fake so came with human “flaws”. now the trend is having small perky boobs with tiny nipples. i’ve never fit into any of it. i think girls women with naturally big boobs get overlooked in terms of how hard it is (and that’s without sexualisation, catcalling, groping, sexual harassment) went on a ramble but i relate to you!
women’s bodies are treated like clothes trends. keep up with it, fit into it, buy this, buy that, throw out that.
I don't know if you read the comments at all but the YEARNING and the deep intense desire you feel to be loved and accepted is not going to be satisfied by a man, bestie. In my case the yearning was from emotionally unavailable parents not being able to love me how I needed, so I looked for it everywhere else but in myself. Your inner child, your inner teen are YEARNING for love - from YOU. For you to cherish them, support them, tell them they are PERFECT, funny, lovable. No man can fill the hole in your heart that is only for you to fill. Men can fill other holes, sure, but the hole in the heart filled should be filled by you first.
Holy shit. I’ve always told people and myself that I was ugly, especially my younger self. I HATE my childhood photos. While my parents always told me I was beautiful, I just couldn’t see it. My teen self just gave up and accepted “the ugly” and didn’t think it was worth it to do my hair, my nails, take care of my skin, etc, because I was confused and conflicted on what was “changing yourself” and what was “natural beauty”. It caused me a lot of turmoil. I think I need to have a chat with little me.
@@tarakennedy2512 I'm sorry to hear that. I hope one day you can call yourself beautiful and truly mean it
My dad passed suddenly 2 years ago and having his features and similarities in appearance is something I treasure now, having previously disliked it. It's a privilege to get older and keep that piece of him alive and I am so glad i didnt change a thing.
i actually love this. ❤ he is within you and intertwined into your DNA and being. and it is so beautiful.
Crying listening to Brittany talking about the ceremonial process of putting makeup on. This is girlhood
I grew up rejecting anything I deemed ‘feminine’ as I grew up feeling more comfortable looking more like a tomboy. Decades later, having come out (married to my wife for 20 years), performed as a drag king, and having the freedom to dress and present how I want - I feel a bit less anxiety about rejecting every trace of femininity in my self. I feel more comfortable sometimes stepping outside of men’s-only clothes (though it’s still on a small level… longer hair these days, work tops that are more ‘feminine’, some necklaces and brooches…).
I’ve done special effects makeup… I’m good at zombies or wounds… but traditional makeup feels intimidating.
I’ve been tempted to get some makeup basics (whatever that means) and try following some RUclips intro tutorial discreetly. Not necessarily to wear out, but just n appreciation of the knowledge and skill behind it - like learning watercolour or crocheting.
I never participated in the ceremony of applying makeup growing up, but I can appreciate how much of a core memory it must be for some. ❤
@@AVspectre Thank you for sharing your story❤️ I grew up watching MUAs on RUclips. My desk is my happy place, it’s where I get to do my makeup. That’s awesome that you’re a drag king, I’ve been wanting to experiment with more theatrical makeup because I’ve been seeing Chappell Roan slay it on stage. I think it’s so cool to become a character with makeup. It should def be celebrated, it’s an art❤️ Have fun exploring those videos and trying it out! Wishing you the best
@@AVspectrei love that you’ve pushed yourself to grow! continue to do so. the only thing holding you back is yourself. you inspire others. your strength shows!
I don’t think it’s healthy or smart to associate make up with “girlhood”.
it’s crazy how rare it is to hear someone say they’re at peace or at least trying to be at peace with the features they have. this helped me a lot, thank you bae
also i adore that you see the humanity in Ari
I love what she said about liking that she looked like her parents.There is something really joyful in seeing parts of my mum and dad in my own face. Even though I have had such similar feelings about my appearance, my nose in particular, and the temptation to change it when I have the financial means to do so is hard to resist. Keep practising self-compassion!
You have a lovely nose
Your nose is gorg and it fits your face sooo much. I was also tempted to change mine, but when i played around in PS trying to imagine what I'd look like, i was HORRIFIED at ANY changes. I looked like a stranger to myself. Immediately got dysphoric thinking "who's that person? It sure ain't me and I.DON'T.LIKE.HER."

FREAL WHAT
Say what you will about beauty standards i just have to say, big eyes are timeless and they’re always beautiful. Your eyes have always been striking and hold so much expression. I also think it’s so brave of you to not go the plastic surgery route when we see literally everyone getting nose jobs, lip fillers, fillers in their cheeks, facelifts - BUT if you ever do make that decision it won’t take away from your comedy and how you are as a person. And you’re right we can all afford to be nicer and kinder to ourselves
This is how to be truly supportive of someone on that matter
I agree she'll slay either way I just dont want her to do something she'll regret out of insecurity like some people do with plastic surgery, but I know plenty of girls that feel like a million bucks after getting a tiny bit of lip filler. It's not inherently bad, but the way brit talks abt herself, and how she said she has an addictive personality, these things can get really hard on someone
facts i love her eyes sm
My eyes are still crusted over hold ON
'crusted over' is fucking insane

this episode was really cathartic for me all around. going through another heartbreak, and having someone i see as an older sister figure go through that with me right now, the good the bad and the hopeless, is very comforting right now. i know you know this, but in case you need a reminder like i do, you’re worthy of so much love and worthy of someone that’ll give all the love and light you radiate right back to you. ❤
REJECT MODERNITY EMBRACE UNIQUE APPEARANCES !!!!!!! ❤ seriously it is SO refreshing having someone like Brittany in the public media space. We need more of this! I am so so beyond bored of contemporary beauty standards. Everyone should know they are beautiful BECAUSE they look different and to embrace and play to those differences 🥰
Props to you for not bowing to current beauty standards. Especially considering the trend cycle and what’s popular now will inevitably fall out of fashion. Your face is unique and gorgeous and I miss the time when we all had our own unique faces. So happy you’re sticking to your guns
Highlighting your own unique beauty features is absolutely IT! The tide seems to already be shifting back to natural beauty and uniqueness, once everyone has something and looks the same it gets tired, there’s no personality or soul to it. We live in a world of constant trends they’ll always come and go, but personal style is forever. I’m always so impressed by people who have such a clear idea of who they are and present themselves as such. Getting there myself but working on it!
BRITTANY I could literally listen to an entirely separate podcast with you talking about art history…you make something that I never thought about sooo palatable and you’ve prompted me to do my own research, like…I NEED more art history from the eyes of Supreme Leader Broski…I also love how whenever you talk about it, the glow you get from the genuine interest and excitement, I literally love it so much😫🫶
You are constantly meeting a new version of yourself, you are consistently reintroducing yourself to yourself. I literally started tearing up and had to run into the bathroom at work. I’ve felt that so hard lately. I keep wondering how I didn’t know her earlier, but I did. She’s just growing, moving and changing. Why can’t I give myself grace for this?
I loved this so much too. I think sometimes in society people get stuck on you are who you are, especially when you hit your mid 20s onwards. As someone who has struggled with a lot of eating disorders and social anxiety, but now trying to make up for lost time by being social/partying/eating/trying things I’ve never before, but getting worried that I’ll never be that person at my core and it’s too late, to hear Brittany say you’re allowed to change and can constantly reintroduce yourself to yourself is so beautiful and exactly what I needed to hear 😭
I dunno how old you are, but I've seen a lot of uplifting memes lately about how people are obsessive over your 20s being the "greatest time of your life", only for you to hit 30 and realize your life has just started.
In the words of Guillermo del Toro, who was happier in his 50s than he ever was in his 20s: "I think the sublime confusion is from nineteen to twenty-nine. You think you are late for everything, you're a has-been, nothing is happening, there's no opportunity for you, the world is closed, everything is a disaster, you wanna die. And then you're thirty."
You're going to change, always, and you are going to become happier, always. You can give yourself grace for change, but that's up to YOU. May as well start now, eh?
It means a lot when you come on here and share your low moments because I am going through very similar struggles right now that are completely consuming and isolating. It’s really comforting to know even just one other person understands the pain associated with just wanting to feel loved, valued, and beautiful all while dealing with the external pressure to strive for those things or else you’re deemed “not worthy”. You are extremely valuable and worthy to me by sharing your experiences, humor, and thoughts with all of us. You also help motivate me to really dive into my passions unapologetically and take some time to laugh to help distract from the hard times. Please remember how much of a light you are to so many of us ❤
So much love for Brittany's willingness to share such vulnerable parts of herself with us. I'm sure lots of women go through this and have similar thoughts, so it's nice to feel validated and empowered through watching her journey of self discovery! BROSKI NATION FOREVER!
An hour and 5 minutes?? Supreme Leader has FED us today!
I am a lady at the ripe age of 34. I am the epitome of what men call the “angry, man-hatin feminist”.
I gave up on men a long time ago and am now with the literal love of my life & soulmate (cis het male).
Here are the things I learned about actual love:
-You don’t need to give your person grace or patience. You won’t need to.
-Your person will want to touch, play & create joy with you every moment you’re together. If you find someone who believes in the “honeymoon phase” & allows passion to fade, walk away.
-Your person will be as giving, intuitive & reciprocative as you. If you find yourself saying “men just aren’t like that, I can’t expect that of him”. Walk away.
-Their actions speak for themselves. You don’t have to wait to see them or wait for them to warm up/open up.
-You can come to them with concerns & they won’t flinch. They will immediately want to repair, improve & fix issues and they will follow through on it.
-Safety, communication & love is as much a priority to them as they are for you.
Long story short…don’t settle for anything less than what you’re able to bring to a relationship. Obviously there are more unevolved men than evolved, that’s the reality. Don’t waste time wading through the BS, just make the commitment to yourself that you won’t ever allow unevolved men to waste your time ever again.
Facts. If you focus on building high self-esteem and actively practice the boundaries you have in place, you’ll skip half the bullshit that comes with majority of men because *they’ll be put off* (?!) by you having such high self esteem and self regard. You don’t even have to lift a finger (other than bettering yourself) to take out over half of them and save time.
(Pssst, 34 is a beautiful age! all the women I admire and want to be like are in their 30s)
@@psycherevivedbypreach friend preach! And I agree, the 30’s have been my favorite decade thus far! And I have no fear of growing older 🥰 I have ADHD and so does he, so we already feel like kids as is anyways 😂😂😂
I can’t believe this doesn’t have more likes this is so good thank you sm

Saying that you won’t have to give the right person grace or patience is the most insane thing I’ve ever heard. In any healthy long term relationship, you will still get annoyed at each other. Both will make small (emphasis on small) mistakes. True love is growing through it together and putting in the effort and patience to continuously level up together. What you described is the most unrealistic thing I’ve ever heard, and if you truly have NO patience for your partner then I sure hope they leave your ass as soon as you even annoy them slightly, since apparently that’s not allowed for you.
i usually don't comment on youtube videos as much but honestly this report hit close to home and i have to share my two cents. all throughout highschool i painted myself to be this entirely different person and it got to a point where if i didn't wear makeup or finally built up the courage to show my bare face to my friends they would be kind of taken aback by how different i looked. now that i left and have been able to kind of let go of the addictive need to put on a full face of makeup to go to a gas station, i've really realized how unempowering it was for me back then, because i wasn't being true to myself and we as people are always doomed to eventually revert back to our true form if that makes sense.
all that to say, i felt this rant in my very soul and resonated with it beyond comprehension and i am begging you not to continue to feel the need to change a thing about yourself. you're so beautiful in a way that surpasses the traditional cloned beauty standard or "iphone face" if that makes sense. your face and demeanor and aura is so poetic and beautiful and in my opinion you've always reminded me of those greek marble statues people admire in museums.
however, whatever your endeavors are brittany, just know we will stand with and behind you, you're so loved and beautiful and appreciated and damn anyone who's too stupid to see that.
edit: btw i apologize if that was hard to read english isn't my first language
The instrument the woman is playing in the background of the painting is a double reed pipe called an aulos!
There’s an excellent 15 min video called Rediscovering Ancient Greek Music. They play replicas of ancient instruments accompanied by a choir singing a Greek epic poem.
Also Heliogabalus was a Roman emperor who replaced the god Jupiter with the deity known as Elagabal (the sun god in his home country of Syria). He was assassinated after only 4 years in power at age eighteen.
During the last conversation I had with my grandma before she died, she told me her favorite movie of all time was shrek 2. It was totally out of nowhere, and now it's all I think about when the topic of shrek 2 comes up. Love the episode, keep being great. Also you should check out Hippo Campus. I could totally see their music being on a favorite songs of the week list in the future
I use the Broski Report like a weekly mantra…each episode tells me exactly how I’ll act the rest of the week…
I really love hearing Brittany’s passion about art and it’s significance & meaning to her. I’m in conservation of books so am not involved with paintings like these, but it’s still such a joy to listen to someone express their love for history & historic objects and to know that that’s what is being encouraged by doing all the conservation/restoration work that keeps them accessible.
fellow art restorer here! i agree with you so much!!!
I have been watching your videos and following you on Tiktok for a very long time and this is my first time listening to your podcast and I just want to say that I love it so far! I think it is so beautiful and responsible of you to be so open about your own insecurities and not going down the usual route of trying to change absolutely everything about yourself to fit the standard, knowing that would erase you and part of your heritage in that process. I think that is an extremely powerful message to give to the world and especially to young girls watching. To preach loving and learning to accept yourself no matter how uncomfortable it may be because you know its worth it. I myself have a bumo on my nose that I was insecure about from the age of 12 to 20 and there was nothing I wanted more than a nose job during that period of my life. Suddenly, I decided I was going to try and embrace it and I taught myself to perceive my nose in a different way, also by highlighting how it's my dad's nose, and my granddad's nose, how it reflects every single generation that has come before me and how the people around me in my family have it too, all the people that I love so much. After a while it started to work, and now 4 years later I absolutely LOVE my nose and I can't even believe I wanted to badly to get rid of it. I am so proud of myself for learning to accept and love that part of myself, because its part of me and what my parents gifted me (as you so beautifully put it). So thank you so much for your vulnerability and for spreading this important message. Love you so much!

EYES CLOSED, HANDS OFF OF THE WHEEL, PREPARED TO HEAR THE FIRESIDE CHAT OF OUR SUPREME LEADER
💪💪💪
i remember being at a point in my life where i never left the house unless i had full makeup on. i would be late to things and having panic attacks bc i Could Not leave the house unless fully done up. because the makeup just warped how i saw myself and i wasn’t pretty unless i put it on. eventually i snapped out of it and i refused makeup for a long time but now ive gotten into working with my own features and making what i look like the focus. i don’t wear foundation because i really think it messes with my head? i want MY nose and my cheeks, imperfections and all
Honestly just can’t stop thinking about how hard the edits are gonna go with these podcast clips playing before the ones of Brittany in a happy healthy relationship
I'd LOVE to see Brittany try that kind of dramatic 1920s make up!!!! ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
21:42 stoppp it is actually 5:00 in the morning and i am getting ready for work on the verge of tears brittany has such a beautiful mind and i love how she is never afraid to say these things. Its something i have been afraid of for a very long time and i have never heard anyone talk about this.
the beginning made me feel sm better… dealing with getting over a ex situationship lol

okay but your intelligence about the knowledge and creative process/ passion of art needs to be noted! It’s so beautiful, oh my God!!! The details that you recognize in just the everyday beauty of human life too…i’m screaming!! i get a history lesson every time you post
Girl you got me crying over reminiscing through my makeup looks/mindset over time. Going from hours of practicing my art of makeup to now putting on moisturizer due to life changes is wild. I think you and your current make style is absolutely beautiful! I hope you do find romantic love, but we’ll be your witness until then girl.
Brittany, I met Peso Pluma on Saturday when he came into my work… I wouldn’t have known who he was without you talking about him on this podcast. I get why you love him! The sweetest man!
WHAT so lucky
Hi Brittany I’m also 26 going on 27 from New Jersey and I love your space and platform online. I’m a nurse, I’ve worked with patients who have gotten plastic surgery. At times they come back, what I’ve noticed is the similarity of people not being happy with their image. I’ve known the fittest of girls who still edit their pictures to be smaller. There is enough space for you to be who you are. If you ever change anything about yourself I pray that it’s coming from a place of self love. It’s as simple as “those who mind, don’t matter and those that matter don’t mind” there is only one you, please be kind to yourself
Anyways, you are loved beyond what you can imagine ❤
I’m single too so cheers for not settling for less especially because love is so important, we deserve to be loved righteously
James Maslow had me screaming I was on your side so confident it was James maslow's needs
Brittany I'm so glad you haven't changed how you look, I also have a big forehead, it's been my biggest insecurity all my life. Seeing a woman in media that I look up to and that I cherish and who looks similar to me, has helped me embrace more how I look.
“ you are always meeting yourself “ tell me why I started crying 😭💕
i’m fucking SAT
I can’t even begin to describe, how much I am touched by the first 25 minutes of this episode. Especially when you talked about how makeup holds memories and in a way, a different version of our self’s. Over the years I had many different ways of putting on makeup and therefore presenting myself. I started so early on, I think when I was around 13 or so, which is so sad honestly. Because back then, it wasn’t a way of art and presenting my features, the way I love them, like I do now but the sheer horror of imagining someone, seeing my bare face, the way it is. Back then I was so torn apart. Wanting to fit in but also being myself at the end of the day.
When you talked about meeting these different yous, from different times of our live, it really hit me. Because I have never seen it in this way. You wrapped it (as always) in such beautiful words. In general, your view on the world has been eye opening for me and I just wanted to say, you are a big inspiration with a beautiful soul and it’s such a wonderful day when I can listen to your podcasts.
being completely honest, you have absolutely nothing to worry about referring to your looks. i watched a broski report one time in the middle of the night and cried bc i wanted to look like u, u are so perfect, and you’re gorgeous.
adding the shrek series to the broski nation library of congress ✅
As an vintage fashion enthusiast, I’m so excited with your interest on 1920’s fashion!!
Your face was indeed the beauty standard for ages, as the greek-roman profile was the ruler in arts.
Talking about make in special, the one you shown is indeed very artistic and beautiful. Make up was, and still is for some people and some places, a delicate topic. It’s said it was common for both men and women on french court, but as display of vanity was seen as shameful after the revolution, it felt back on its place reserved for theatre actors and prostitutes, which at that that were kind of synonymous.
Then came the popularisation of cinema in the 20’s. As the cameras oversaturated the light exposure, the faces kind of looked blank on screen, so the necessity of shadowing and colouring the face with expression. That’s why it’s common the sad looking eyebrows, because the actresses where supposed to display that emotion.
Men did also not only wear basic makeup, but lipstick as well at that time haha.
With the evolution, and acceptance of make up by the commoners, even though cameras didn’t need the contours of makeup on actors faces anymore, female makeup thrives, specifically because it was a beauty product that was cheaper to buy, as the world would be soon war again. It’s said that women in Britain would lack anything but lipstick during rationing, and use eyeliner to draw the line formed by pantyhose behind the legs.
So that era had still the millennial beauty standard, small mouth and big eyes, on a pale fair skin. After the WWII, the idea of having muscles and being outside, brought skull oriented face features and tan came to fashion because of eugenist ideology.
If you want to incorporate something inspired by that, I recommend you look more into the 30’s, that it’s the same as the 20’s but more glamorous! See Myrna Loy, Greta Garbo, Marlene Dietrich, and even Better Davis later.
And finally, as fashion (and history) always repeats itself, there’s 70’s makeup, that’s 20’s inspired!!!
The first Gatsby came that decade, and there was the urge to look different from the previous decade, the 60’s, with its heavy dark makeup.
Look for Italian singer Mina Mazzini or the Spanish singers of the Baccara duet.
(Funfacts: the painting of Napoleon’s coronation has his mother placed on a higher point than the pope, even though she didn’t attend, as said.
And the flower painting is from a movement called Pre Raphaelite, that was a respond to the mass production of industrial design of the late XIXth century. It’s the Arts and Crafts and Art Nouveau movement of painting. 😊)
The Hierarchy of Needs portion had me. I’m a social worker and I have a framed art piece of the hierarchy of needs in my office lmaooo
Brittany referring to her forehead with “I’ve got a lot on my mind” made me just about throw my hypothetical wig across my corporate office
13:00 I have things to say about this. I’m 29. The things I worried about when I was 27 vs 25 vs 22 all drastically changed as my body actually began aging. I had a baby when I was 23, which was a completely jarring experience for me and my relationship with my body. I felt like a foreigner in my own skin, everything about me looked different. But I credit that drastic physical change for opening up a period of positive growth in my life. I asked myself “Why did I hate the way I looked so much before I had a baby? I looked way better than I do now, and I wasted so much time focusing on all the wrong things”. I decided after that epiphany to end that negative cycle with myself. And I got mad 😂 I wasn’t going to fucking beat myself up at 30 for not appreciating my beauty and youth when I was 23. Having my identity completely changed by having a daughter, really forced me to evaluate what is important to me. If I value connection, deep bonds, good friends, and healthy love… then why am I judging myself with such shallow standards? Why am I not seeing in myself, the beauty I see in the people who are close to me? All the surgeries I planned on having once I saved the money were completely forgotten by age 27. When I stopped focusing so much on what I believed I lacked in physical attractiveness, my connection with my partner became stronger. We got through the really tough period of being young, new parents together, and our bodies show it. We see that journey physically in each other every day. Nature is a beautiful thing 🥲 🙅♀️Not advocating for having children to give your life meaning 🙅♀️ I don’t think kids are for everyone, and I don’t think they’re necessary to live a fulfilling life. I’m just saying it was a big change in my life that gave me some perspective.
TLDR: the older you get and the more you live, the less you’ll care about what you look like ❤ And that’s not a bad thing.
I’m 28 and it’s so cool and interesting to hear your perspective and wisdom. Beautifully written and inspiring. Thank you!
@@ccselva ❤️ Thank you for the kind words! I think working with older women helped me a lot too. A lot of the entertainment industry being based in LA creates this false idea that the prime of your life is over with your 20s. I personally don’t struggle so much with my changing appearance anymore, but I still get anxious about time passing in general. All of the older women in my life just laugh and tell me the best years are ahead. There’s a beautiful show I watch too called What’s Underneath by StyleLikeU, where they have thoughtful interviews about whatever the guest wants to talk about. For those feeling down about getting older, I thought Stacy London’s episode was really great.
@@ccselva thank you for the kind words. I think a lot of the entertainment industry being based in LA gives the average person this false idea that the prime of life is over by age 30. It’s just not true. Beauty doesn’t have to be restricted to the mainstream ❤️
I broke up with my partner of 3 years a few months ago and your weekly videos are the highlight of my week. You make me feel seen and heard and not so alone and that I don’t need a man in order to be happy.
Love your content🩷
i open the door, i sit down and sip my coffee. i’m seconds onto the highway, with clear intent of a safe drive - suddenly, a broski report. i sigh, taking my hands off the wheel and closing my eyes
i hope you’re okay ❤️
i feel so unspeakably sad watching brittany speak about beauty standards and how they can make a person feel unlovable. i've felt the same until i found a partner who loved everything i hated about myself and that made me see beauty in them. She is so smart and funny and has so much to offer and deserves so much better romantically than what she's getting
I really pray she sees your comment bc it’s not her fault. She just deserves SO MUCH more than what the romantic world is giving her
I have my degree in art history and have lost my passion for it due to not being in school and not having a job related to it and not many big museums around me. But you discussing it in this pod really helped rejuvenate that passion in me. I love art and this history behind it it’s so fascinating
omg a reoccurring art history segment on broski report would actually make me so happy
Noooo

@@JusticeRoothpait’s definitely available!! i have it on my spotify playlist at least haha. it’s “holding out for a hero” by frou frou; who happens to be one my favourite artists. so if you like the style of that song definitely check out their other songs and the vocalist imogen heap!
@@JusticeRoothpait’s on my spotify! it’s by frou frou !
Probably being over dramatic but Brittany is putting her heart and soul in to these videos. She makes me feel every single emotion. She really just cuts all the bullshit and tells the truth and she accepts it.
The way you talk about beauty is so amazing. Got me crying at work rn
I ATE THE WHEEL IM LITERALLY FLYING OFF A CLIFF RN INTO A BIG BODY OF WATER
You definitely don’t NEED any cosmetic procedures done. I love how vulnerable you are about it too, because I was the same way. When I finally felt like I could afford to get something done, I decided against it. I don’t wanna spend my one precious life worrying about if someone finds me attractive or not. Because honestly, I don’t care lol. I’ve been complimented by random men, and that doesn’t mean anything compared to the compliments I get from my closest friends. I realized that my favorite compliments are when someone calls me witty, or funny, or kind. You’re a breath of fresh air to me and so many people and that’s why you’re so popular. Your smarts and wits are something we need more of. And you’re a timeless beauty!
It’s exhausting trying to keep up with beauty standards as a woman. Yet conventionally unattractive men are hyped up every single day. So I agree with you. I opt out of letting it consume me 😅
i’m not done with the video yet, but I literally want to tell you Brittany that you’re so real and so authentic and beautiful and I was really searching for an influencer or someone on social media that speaks and does things like they’re not a robot, like they’re not fake and I’m so glad that I’ve come across you because I genuinely feel like you’re a real person and you’re so relatable. But not relatable in the sense of like how society says what’s relatable, but as in I can literally relate to everything you say, or implement it in my life realistically, you speak so realistically and so authentically it is so refreshing and so beautiful please never ever ever ever change. Please stay your true, authentic self. I love how you’re not becoming like people, you’re becoming like yourself, your true authentic self and I think that’s so amazing and it’s honestly so inspiring for me to become myself also, especially being a plus size woman. I constantly am so hard to myself about what I eat and that I have to get to a certain size, a certain looking figure to get all the things that come with life, but you just reminded me that that’s not true and I should become healthy and i should become better for myself and not for society not for anything else or anyone else except God and myself. I really really really don’t want you to change anything about yourself, you’re beautiful and I feel like that confidence of just speaking “ I am beautiful “ truly makes other people realize how beautiful you really are. It’s weird how that works but just coming on here and being like I’m beautiful and that’s it and literally not giving no fucks is the most beautiful thing you can ever do I love it. Keep doing what you’re doing. Stay fresh stay beautiful stay authentic stay yourself, have a blessed day.
"you are always meeting a new version of yourself, and you are consistently reintroducing yourself.." you have no clue how bad I needed to hear this. I have been having such a hard time accepting the changes I'm experiencing with my appearance as I get older (I'm only 25 which is so dumb like bitch i'm still so young but idk why I'm starting to feel and see the affects of aging??). I was just crying in therapy yesterday about how horrible my self esteem is and how I don't recognize myself right now. I know logically it all starts with perspective and mind set. I need to stop rejecting this 25 year old version of myself. I need to be kind and open and welcome her with loving arms. She's just a girl. why am I so afraid of her :( thank you for talking about this and beauty standards. I really needed this today.
I can relate to this. I´m trying to meet myself in my freshly new thirties and so far... I´m not sure where I´m headed.
I'm also 25 and feel like my life is ending and beginning at the same time. I love that we can use this space to tell each other we're not alone in this shit 🫶
The way you described the woes of romantic love is just so spot on. Thanks for sharing your journey and being so vulnerable. You deserve everything! I'm also at the exact point of being happy with life, with my kiddo's and social circle, with what I've built careerwise, everything. I'd also love to share it with someone. But the road to get to that point, the amount of encounters that where freaking bizar and painful, the battle field that is de current dating world: I'm so done. I like a challenge but this is just draining. Wish you nothing but love, big hug!
Shrek 2 video essay would make my year
i think its so beautiful that you know you have the ability to succumb to plastic surgery but dont do it and instead learn to love yourself the way you are. thats absolutely amazing and will leave you WAY more internally fulfilled instead of just externally
Love the real talk Brittany - when you said “there was an era, a time when women who looked like me had their time…” I teared up a bit. I’ve really struggled for so many years with comparing myself to every freakin person I see. I have some pronounced European facial features too and feel like I look so different compared to every other woman I see, especially those my age - I kind of feel like an entirely different species. I really appreciated your take on beauty standards, thank you babes 🤍
“He wanted that thang stinkin 😏” stooooopppp!!! 😂 I didn’t need to know that about Napoleon.
There’s a girl at my school wears really dramatic eyeliner and every time I see her it just lights me up a bit cuz her confidence and carelessness just makes me so happy because she gives me a powerful presence idk. Please bring back powerful makeup like this I wanna see every girl wear super dramatic makeup with bright colours
brit i love you SO much but my take is that spongebob man’s wife and baby also deserved someone to come home to at night and as much as ari deserves that love she did not need to steal it from another woman regardless of what she wanted or needed at the time, she made another woman feel the same feelings she’s describing in that song
THIS!!
Thank you I feel crazy that no one’s talking about this
I love brittany, but as someone who claims she such a feminist and then says she’s a huge fan of a woman who stole another woman’s husband when they just had a baby?? Makes no sense.
@@BeccaPatches they got together when Lily and Ethan already ended their marriage. We don’t know how much Ethan is involved in the parenting so let‘s not start assuming. As it seems a baby couldn’t have saved the marriage.

I agree with you 100% bestie but also you gotta remember.. the southern culture is soo toxic in that way. Personally growing up in Oklahoma, I grew up watching my mother CAKE makeup on every morning. It’s something we learn and see as young women. We see the women in our lives get dolled up every SINGLE day, cover all their “flaws”, and talk down on themselves because that’s southern culture. Tanned skin, bleached blonde voluminous hair, perfect white teeth, and the sharpest of contours. It’s not easy to escape the idea of looking “perfect”, especially when you’re from the south and that’s all you are taught. 😢
5:40 tell me why I’m learning about Maslows hierarchy in personality theories rn. TAPPED INNNN
I have recently started painting again after a long period of grieving multiple familial traumas and loss, and I am not gonna lie it is difficult to pick myself up and get back into something that is so emotionally connected. Because it forces you to look inward…And suddenly you find yourself with hours of silence to just sit and contemplate everything! As of right now I am doing commissions, and art shows. I have done a couple of original pieces, but they are still referencing characters that already exist. I don’t know when I will do an “original piece” With my own characters and my own places and what not, but it’s definitely brewing and I’ve got the itch to get creative again.😊❤
Brittany don't give up!!! I met my bf at such a weird time in my life, a very transitional period for me, but I stopped "dating" and eventually met him. Became best friends over 4ish months, then started dating "officially" and this it's the most beautiful blessing being in an amazing (and healthy) relationship. We definitely were hooking up before things became official lmao, but girl don't give up! It will come to you when it should, you're gorgeous and bring so much light into our lives, there is someone who will be able to give that back to you ❤️
those shrek 2 impersonations were so good actually LOL
i’ve spent so much time doing full faces of makeup but ever since i started covering my bottom eyelid in black eyeshadow and then doing a small wing, i haven’t felt the need to do any more makeup besides my eyebrows. finding a style that compliments my features has been so helpful, and i’ve never seen anyone do what i do so i feel like i made it up for myself
it’s honestly a rare occurrence to actually reach self-actualization. we can always become more than what we actually are. this isn’t a bad thing per say, just the human experience.
