    Your content is about beauty, fashion and life in NYC, why are people commenting on your mom and the way you practice your faith? Those things have nothing to do with your content. Take the time to rest, reset and solidymify those bounderies.
    I do want you to know that I love watching and listening to you because it feels like having a knowledgeable, fun, funny, and creative friend teachings me new things.

    Hey lovey! I want to let you know you have been the influence in my life that I didn’t see coming. Separated and going through a divorce. I left Los Angeles to be back in a small town in Tennessee with family. Gained weight and was obsessed with breakup coaches and no contact creators and zero motivation about myself or anything. All I know it wasn’t the me I knew and I didn’t know how to find me again. After one of your videos on the coats I went thrift shopping to find some coats I could feel good in and not discriminate or body shame. Anyways your ideas and info have brought confidence back into my life and self worth. I love finding new clothing items. It’s been like a true self care and healing journey. I pray this week you find the awesomeness you brought to me. I love laughing with you and listening to you roast some folks too lol 😘 biggest hugs! Cookies ain’t gonna crumble lol

    Hey CAROLYN GIRL🙏💖. Share this life update. I hadn’t had a chance to see your videos. I really wasn’t wanting to watch anybody’s much due to the passing of my dear mother and the last month or so it’s just been rough. God bless her soul.🕊️☦️💔💐🌅.
    Anyway, it’s a shame that you you have to let people know the rules of engagement for your channel. That is unfortunately, the way it goes with somebody these people out here and I applaud you you let them know and drop them. Of course, a lot of them they just for meanness I found that they won’t follow , just an opportunity for them to spew their minutia on in your direction. But I’m glad you’re letting them know girl I love your journey and keep up the great work. God bless you young queen.👑🙏🌅💖🌟

  • @TheSecretninja2001
    @TheSecretninja2001 4 месяца назад +1

    I just want to reiterate that I really enjoy your content. I hate that people use the "anonymity" (b/c no one's truly anonymous) of the Internet to say whatever they want to people and think they're gonna get away with it. I've noticed there's been an uptick w/ other creators getting nasty comments and I wonder if it's b/c the algorithm at times pushes videos out of their sphere of normal viewership? Idk but I don't like it. Anyway I feel the same way you do about the weight thing w/ myself. I need to lose about 40 pounds? And I can definitely feel it in my knees also the pain at times is terrible. I don't really look it (my friend said from the chest up 😅😪 thanks I guess?) but I can see it in my arms (that's usually the first place), my stomach and my butt 😅. Like I've always had a booty but I can feel it move when I walk and I personally don't like that, also I can't fit any of my clothes anymore and I'm tired of up sizing, so I'm gonna start working out and stick to it this time, mainly lifting weights and cardio and I'm gonna have to do it from home b/c I work from home so I'm turning my living room into an at home gym. I don't think I need to change too much on my eating habits I think those are pretty good but I do want to incorporate (need to incorporate) more protein b/c I'm gonna stop eating eggs b/c I think they make me sick 😪
    I hope all goes well w/ the apartment hunting and you get the exact apartment you want! I feel like this comment got really long but I'll just end w/ I enjoyed your Met Gala review alot, I'm so happy I've started to get into content from Black women in fashion spaces, the little girl in me that wanted to write for fashion magazines is so happy 🥰 and I hope your week off refreshes you, I look forward to your next video whenever you can upload! 💕

    Hey Carolyn, I’m currently going through my first Saturn return where I honestly feel my lowest in terms of finances, my relationship and my mental health. It’s been tough but I’m learning that I need to push myself in order to experience radical change in my life. Watching your videos have helped because you are so vulnerable about your own struggles and I see how much effort you put into your content. Don’t let the bad comments get you down, there’s still a bunch of us who are subscribed and love you!

    Caroline, I am a relatively new subscriber, and I enjoy your videos, although I am not a faahionista. Please remember that some people are just ignorant, have little going on in their own lives, and would prefer to comment on your life than to fix their own. I share your sentiment re: what's happening in the middle east. It has made me cry too. I'll be here when you come back. Take care.

    Hi Queen cookie. I've seen multiple influncers have this conversation regarding negative comments. It's unfortunate there are negative Nancy's. I heard Monore say if people leave comments with certain words that trigger her they will get blocked. It's one thing to have an opinion another to be nasty. Keep shining and block the low vibrational people.

    I too have gained some weight. I gained about the same amount of weight due health issues I was having. So I know exactly how you feel. Girl it’s my left knee that’s been bugging 😂. But on a more serious note, I know how you feel about doing certain things in light of what’s going on in the world. I’m Muslim raised from birth and still practicing so from a religious perspective I feel the heaviness of what’s going on in Gaza 100 times more than maybe the average person. I’m a fashion girly but by trade and occupation I’m a chemist. And I turn to online content that feeds the fashion girl but also that has some humanity and awareness. You popped on my algorithm a few months ago with your video on not following trends. And it was the way you spoke so matter of factly, on top of having on a cardigan that was fire that made me want to subscribe. But it’s the humanity and reality that you share that KEPT me watching your content and follow you on other platforms. I appreciate what you bring to this space. I enjoy the humor but I also embrace rawness of your lived experiences. It’s not pretentious, it doesn’t give unrealistic, and from a parasocial perspective its connection. Maybe because we’re both around the same age, I get it lol. Oh and I’m the one who commented on your Loewe sunnies and said I turned mine into optical glasses FYI lol. Take the time needed. Those of who truly support will still be here.

    You are one of - if not the only - realest, coolest, most down to earth person in this space! (And my play cousin because I’m a Bmore girl too) Do not let these nasty people do to you what they’ve done to others! We need people like you in this space who are relatable and grounded and real. People need to see style and fashion and beauty in a way that doesn’t leave anyone feeling less than because having 27 Birkins isn’t possible or even reasonable for them. So many people in this space don’t talk about “B side” of life. They position themselves as if life is all about collecting and unlimited amount of Channel bags and jet setting to the next exotic locations. I appreciate your balance. The world needs more balance. We need people like you in this space especially.
    Take the time that you need. While you’re away I wish you the spirit of peace and a drop of the spirit of the deepest part of West Bmore where when they go low… we go to the depths of hell.
    Keep going lady! The cookies got your back! ❤
    P.S. Let me know if you need a Bmore moderator to handle the haters and nasties with a lot less grace than you have. I have time… everyday! 😅💪🏾❤️

    Rest. Relax. Refresh. Renew! Your channel is informative, entertaining and fun! WE are here for it! 😊…..These social media comment section “skreets” are not for the faint of heart. Sadly, it’s like showing up to a mascaraed party, where many folks sound like “drunk uncle,” COMPLETELY unfiltered. Just continue to be YOUR authentic self and everything else will continue to fall in place! ❤️🙏🏼🙌🏼……And yes! Allow yourself to make “NO!” a whole sentence!

    C you are allowed to check in with yourself as and when you need it. Regarding the weight gain, you’ve also been working out so that could also be the reason. All good! I always say, keep doing you. Because you are authentic and genuine those who get it, will and those who don’t, well they can-- let me keep that in 🤣🥰🥰

    Take care of you Carolyn because I do understand how news being fed to us constantly on the world's situation can affect someone's energy negatively. Yeah, it gotten so bad my friends and I have actual conversation about avoiding the news and the only way we know the weather is thru our iPhone or tornado sirens going off. Teehee!
    At 62, myself and others that have been blessed to live that long or longer can totally relate if a person feel like they need jump off the grid for a period of time. Because life can be stressful (being a divorced single southern born mom of 2 no physical or financial support (even though it was court mandate) living in my ex-husband's mid-western state where his family basically had died off and just as both kids went off to college my mom had a disabling major stroke and I became her sole (for 20+ years still going) caregiver on top of a 8/10/12 hour days of working as a government civil servant (now retired 2 years) just to name a wee few), I can testify, life has left me feeling like a car driven thru a constant sandstorm blast, because of the continuing stress. I have learned to be able to make light of things and joke around, but I grew up during generation, a time that if you had a group of us, we would be laughing about whoopings and friends/family would be teasing and sharing funny moments (that might not be funny at the time). Humor is very important and to be able to laugh at yourself and not take yourself so seriously is very important if life (without being a doormat).
    I take religion seriously been a devoted Christian since I popped out my mom womb and grew where my walk is now my responsibility, and I am also interested and value how others practice their faith. If they willing to share, I am willing to listen. You be surprised how familiar/similar some of them are with the basis of love/sharing/forgiveness/kindness being the foundation. One thing I know Jesue depicted in the bible was one funny dude.
    As people of faith our mission is to share and it to be okay to disagree but plant that seed (it will just die if you keep it in your pocket). You can't bring people to a higher level of being, with vinegar (adapted from one of my grandmother Minnie sayings).
    Nothing is more gratifying than working hard for yourself and seeing results but it good to schedule a break now and then to refresh. This social media stuff is a blessing, but the workings is still a mystery. Us viewer of content don't realize how much work goes into what it takes to keep providing videos on one's channels. Looking to stepping my toes in just to test the waters to promote me reselling because living off $2200 a month for retirement is a joke. And you talking about some of the up and down of the industry, is helpful.
    Thanks for sharing and blessings to you and all in the days to come.

    Hey Carolyn!! Life is beautiful, but I'm not going to lie, I've been up, down, on the path, off on side streets, trying to get order in my life in some areas. It's hard, but I get up the next day to be better, do better. I always say do what you can, and God will do the rest. Take your time and come back when you feel like it. Take care🙏🏾❤️
