I am always amazed when people assume they can say anything to anyone about their own lives! You're doing a great work! Please don't stop being your authentic self. Like you my mind goes to fight and defend too! Keep your head up sis! You are ENOUGH❤
Girllll, everything you do is so light hearted and funny. Block negative ppl/energy. Dont give them shine and keep it pushing. They don't subscribe as a passive way of being a hater. Be direct and BLOCK THEIR ASSES!!!!!
Good day darling, There’s a lot going on, social media can be a lot and ppl tend to overstep their boundaries. I appreciate your transparency and you always being authentic.
Hey Cookie! Take good care, the trolls are super brave behind the keyboard and prob insecure. Dont expect them to have manners, curate your cookie jar, set boundaries, and BLOCK! block certain words with your comments, delete and exhale! I hate nasty people
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.👑🙏🌅💖🌟
❤❤❤ self care is sooo important. To be mentally "present " is paramount. I love your honesty, it is refreshing - and sharing how you feel, let's me know we ain't out here alone feeling the same way (you do!).😊
Hey Cookie 🍪! Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your feelings with us. I have no words for the gall and audacity people have these days. SM has given them a platform to bully others and say shit they would never say to your face! This space is yours to share and create content for those of us who appreciate it. Everyone else should get the help on and be miserable by their damn selves! Your faith is personal and no one else’s business. And I’m like you, keep my mama’s name out your mouth 👄 PERIOD! Love your content and the humor you bring with it. Keep being you sis!
I agree with the twist of emotions from the weather, the events, the contact creation , and just overall mental well being .. I have been taking walks, writing in a journal, and praying to God for strength wealth health and abundance of joy
Gaaalll, The knees will let you know your body has changed. It happens to me as well. My knee stay poppin lol People are annoying AF and draining. You keep doing you. Sending you love, hugs and peace. Enjoy your break! ❤
Thank you for always being honest. It is NOT normal to just carry on regardless when real pain and trauma is happening. You’re a human being. You’ve actually made me think I’m going to take a few days off so THANK YOU again. Hope today is good to you
I'm here to say that I absolutely love your content. Your authentic energy and spirit always shine through. Miserable love to hide in the dark and share their misery. Keep doin' you, sis!
I fully support you and your decisions Carolyn! You have every right to say what you want to on your platforms. Boundaries are so important because I am working on it myself. My job is stressful and I’m reclaiming my weekends too. I got a massage a couple weekends ago and I loved it!
Nothing about you is offensive. Everything about you is authentic, genuine, and true. Whoever’s on here talking trash to you is just jelly. Some ppl just can’t stand likable energy.❤ #teamcookie
As a Muslim woman, I feel the pain of our brothers and sisters in Gaza. Thank you, sis, ❤️ for even using your platform! We are ONE, inshallah! We will overcome this darkness around us. Ameen.
Carolyn, you are a breath of fresh air when it comes to this fashion and beauty space. I enjoy that you don’t conform and just are you in terms of fashion and styling. I enjoy how you deliver your content in your own unique way. Take a break. We will be here for you. I am working on self care and losing weight, because it has taken a mental toll and effecting my self esteem. I am proud that I am working on doing something about it.
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!
Thank you Chika for confirming me and also for sharing your truth. It feels like many of us are in this what seems to feel like a never ending transition. I wish for speedy healing, closure, and new & happy beginnings for you. :)
Thanks for your vulnerability and transparency. You are doing a great job. I love your content and can’t wait to continue to watch your journey and see your growth ❤️ Take care of yourself always! Those that rock with you will understand and those that don’t, well they don’t matter anyway.
I love watching your channel! I watch several channels as a way to escape all the devastation in the world at least for a few hours a week. I respect your decision to take a break and regroup.
Carolyn, I was so happy when I started watching and subscribing to your channel. I love the vast of fashion education that you bring to us and your platform with a quirky spin. Keep doing what you are doing and don't let these the few negative nannies invade into your space. Reset and come back stronger than ever!!
Love you! Literally i’ve been feeling the same. Empathy is my strength but can also be very draining as well. We are empaths. Take care of yourself my Virgo sis. You are beautiful! Do you sis.
thank you for your vulnerability, it takes so much courage to do so, and this is why I love your channel so much! have a wonderful break and space from social, rest, reset, well deserved break
I totally approve of this message. You are an authentic creator who creates amazing content. Don't let people who project their nasty personality stop your climb. Mental health is very important and should always be a focus. I believe in you, and I appreciate your content. ❤❤❤
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.
Just chiming in to say take a break whenever you need to, self care is necessary not just a trend! Also if you need Brooklyn girl to pull up in defense of your mama, just holla! Love your style, your humor and honesty!
Girl please do not let people ignorance disturb your peace! Get use to it because God is going to continue to bless you and your family. Stay authentic and be happy! ❤😘
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! 💕
Sending you a huge hug!!! Re-center and replenish yourself. Know this - For every uncouth person commenting, they’re 20 others who look to you as a resource and a beam of light that brings joy to their day!!! You are significant and you are appreciated ❤❤❤🍪🍪🍪
Your videos have helped me use my current wardrobe in different ways that make me feel fashionable and confident. I look forward to your new videos and I appreciate you being so open! Take your time…I will be here when you get back : )
Your content REALLY helps me escape and takes weight off my shoulders. I love your light, energy, and wittiness. Take a break, don’t drain that energy that we all love. 🙌
I understand exactly how you feel. I have gained weight in my stomach because I have been eating more, especially mexican street corn, plus butter, breads, carbs. Be blessed.
I love watching your channel. Love your style and how entertaining you are. I am a woman of a certain age so I don’t have time or the patience to look at someone or something I don’t like. Just want you to know I love watching your channel
Carolyn, block the 'trolls' and keep your happy, funny sense of humor. Those that are true followers will support you. There will always be opposition, which some times makes us stronger, but being disrespectful is a whole different thing. Take your time off and enjoy yourself.
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.
Yes girl please block those mean people and do take that week off to reset. Some people are judgey and uncouth. If you can not say anything nice say nothing at all is what I live by. Also give yourself a quitting time ……we all need balance. We luv your content so keep the vids coming when you want.👍🏾
NO ONE deserves or is entitled to stress you. NO ONE deserves yout tears. NO ONE is entitled to know every part of your life. You are a queen, lift your head and be your authentic self.
Hello Carol, I’m reaching out to send you Positive Energy and Prayers. I feel sad that you’ve been made to feel sad by unkind internet trolls. You are a strong, talented woman and a Positive Light. I will continue to pray for you and I will continue to pray and cast away anyone and anything that speaks against or goes against you. Stay strong… Stay Focused on your goals. Have a blessed and Favor Filled week.✨🙏🏽✨
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 🤣🥰🥰
Before you started tearing up. I had just said out loud to my man. “I really really like her she’s truly an inspiration” Don’t ever dim your light for others keep shining you are TALENTED AND BEAUTIFUL 💕
Carolyn your great. I enjoy your content your style.Girl you don’t need to change a thing.This is why your channel is growing. Don’t worry your people are your people. Many blessings.
Carolyn, I've got time today!! First I thought I was already subscribed! Thanks for indirectly call me out. I hit that button so fast.😅 I really enjoy your content. You have such a welcoming personality, and you're hilarious! I too agree some people have the nerve to overstep with their comments. Keep sharing what's on your heart. I just wanted to offer words of encouragement, and let you know you are so talented and stylish to boot! 🤗
I’m a real 🍪 Carolyn ❣️Don’t let these unsubscribed trolls 🧌 ruin your platform! We are here for you ! & we will be here when u come back from your break/reset. Have your boundaries & keep your relationship w your higher power to yourself, we all deserve to do that. Best wishes in your self care, your weight loss, your boundary setting & whatever else u need to do to keep your peace & repair your mindset. 🍪🍪🍪💋
Wow! The nerve of some people, I am with you, nobody talks about our parents. Nope!!! Honestly, take a break, and we wait for you. I am thinking of going to NYC this summer or fall. Forget about them. Thanks for the videos.
Carolyn I love your channel. You are doing a fantastic job, I know you can get irked dealing with a lot of different opinions. People need to think before they text. If it hurts your feeling when you read it back, why would they think it wouldn’t hurt someone else’s feelings. People just don’t think . Take time off when you need to for your mental wellness. You are right there are a lot of bad things going on in the world, but some people only think if it is not happening in their neighborhood it doesn’t affect them. Just plain indifferent to others.
Love your channel. Sending love. I am wishing you all the best on your week off. Unfortunately, People can be crucial speacially on social media. Take care x
I love that you're setting boundaries and taking time for yourself. Take that break, hell, do it OFTEN. There is no shortage of trolls on Black creators' posts, especially Black women/femmes, telling y'all what you should and shouldn’t do and just how to live in general. [Eff] em! Take up space, give AND receive luxury gifts, wear the daring things. The real cookies gon support either way! Keep up the amazing work! 🫶🏾
I always like. You know i’m happy when i see you and sometimes have nothing to say. This is also not my language so it takes longer for me. You are doing good. Love you. Greetings from the Netherlands
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.
Thank you so much for sharing this with me. I feel like everyone in the 30 and over crew has something going with their knees LOL! but thank you for confirming me in the content that I create and that is feels grounded. That is my intention always, to stay grounded and just share my reality with a flare of fun:) Thank you for your support in all of this
I love your transparency, there’s a cosmic shift happening, love and joy are the way. Thank you for trailblazing, keep taking good care of yourself. I love to see it!
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! 😅💪🏾❤️
HEY BMORE CUZZZZ!!! now Im not going to lie... I WANT 27 birkin kind of money LOL but I don't need 27 of them thangs! but thank you for seeing my balance. I truly love and appreciate that. NOT west Baltimore going to the depths of HELL LOL!!! but that is true haha!!! I think at this point in the game, Im mentally getting stronger, these comments are uplifting me, either Im going to just exercise the heck out of the block button or karma will get the trolls! I thank you for your support cuz:)
Carol in this day and age some people just make you humm the have big audacity and just saying some nonsense thing just to bring your spirit down because yours is one of fun easy and people don’t like that for some reason but that’s there problem the plan is to make you feel some type of way any way your weight still good and the main thing is you gone take care before it to late but just pray and think they need something for their self to feel better and evidently that HATEN ❤❤❤❤
You are awesome.You should not have to explain anything. You are none of things and are very respectful and so cheerful. We are real people. With real feelings and all the things. Again you are awesome and brave. People cant do what you do. People hide behind these devices they are the tasteless ones. Take a break but dont leave. I will miss your voice, style, energy and spirit.
Love your the videos been subscribed to you for quite sometime and you have inspired me. People need to learn people have boundaries. Take your break i will be here when you get back 🤗🤗🤗🤗
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🙏🏾❤️
Caroline, You are from now first chanel that I am following. And I was watching everything from you as you mentioned. I watched other content creators and for now I love only you and Cassie ( and I am not subscribed for now) because you are not afraid to tell that something is not worth, not beautiful, non ethic but be able to say that maybe orher thing od that brans is opposite. Not subscribe - Probably pshilology is that we don't like commitment of that tipe.😊 actually the RUclips, as soon as you realise a video, is putting video on the top of my suggested videos so somehow we dont need. You are not afraid to tell your opinion but you are fragile as every human. You have a great taste in fashion sense, great way of expressing, good with words.
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.
Very transparent post. I, too, have been overwhelmed by all of the things going on in our world. May is Mental Health Awareness month and I want to applaud you for recognizing your areas of opportunity and taking action to correct them; not just complains by about them like so many of us. Set your boundaries! If “they” don’t like it they can kick rocks with open toed shoes on!
Hello! I wanted to say, “Thank you” for your content on all platforms. It is an escape when I feel stressed about my personal goals. I hope you will be able to rest, relax, and reset to benefit yourself. Thank you again.
From one cookie to the next...you're doing a brilliant job .love your work your ideas and content. Take the week off we will miss you but come back stronger...and a bigger chunkier cookie. Bless❤❤
Carolyn dear, I am so sorry that you are not in a good place right now. I completely understand why you feel that you need to reset. It’s unfortunate that there are so many not so nice people out here. But, please know that those of us who love you, truly enjoy your unique perspective and we crave your content. I pray that this week allows you the clarity that you need. As always, I truly wish you nothing but good things ❤
Take Care of You Carolyn. Don't be discouraged. We all need a reset every now and again. We do live in difficult times so it's hard not to be affected.. Come back stronger and be mindful of time as it goes by. You got this.
Your content is truly a respite for me from all that is going on in the world. I have felt convicted at times for indulging in certain content with all that’s going on but its good knowing you also care. Thank you for sharing yourself with us. ❤
I am always amazed when people assume they can say anything to anyone about their own lives! You're doing a great work! Please don't stop being your authentic self. Like you my mind goes to fight and defend too! Keep your head up sis! You are ENOUGH❤
Girllll, everything you do is so light hearted and funny. Block negative ppl/energy. Dont give them shine and keep it pushing. They don't subscribe as a passive way of being a hater. Be direct and BLOCK THEIR ASSES!!!!!
Take a break regroup reserve your energy to bring us the content you want. I know its hard not to respond. don’t give them your power.
Good day darling,
There’s a lot going on, social media can be a lot and ppl tend to overstep their boundaries.
I appreciate your transparency and you always being authentic.
Hey Cookie! Take good care, the trolls are super brave behind the keyboard and prob insecure. Dont expect them to have manners, curate your cookie jar, set boundaries, and BLOCK! block certain words with your comments, delete and exhale! I hate nasty people
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.
Take your time and take care of you. We will be here and continue to support you.❤
People are simply wild online, blocking is a super tool!!!
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
The world needs you and the level of fashion expertise that you offer.
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.👑🙏🌅💖🌟
❤❤❤ self care is sooo important. To be mentally "present " is paramount. I love your honesty, it is refreshing - and sharing how you feel, let's me know we ain't out here alone feeling the same way (you do!).😊
Carolyn, you are unique and your content is valuable all over the world ❤ hope you feel great soon 🙏
Hey Cookie 🍪! Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your feelings with us. I have no words for the gall and audacity people have these days. SM has given them a platform to bully others and say shit they would never say to your face! This space is yours to share and create content for those of us who appreciate it. Everyone else should get the help on and be miserable by their damn selves! Your faith is personal and no one else’s business. And I’m like you, keep my mama’s name out your mouth 👄 PERIOD!
Love your content and the humor you bring with it. Keep being you sis!
I agree with the twist of emotions from the weather, the events, the contact creation , and just overall mental well being .. I have been taking walks, writing in a journal, and praying to God for strength wealth health and abundance of joy
Gaaalll, The knees will let you know your body has changed. It happens to me as well. My knee stay poppin lol People are annoying AF and draining. You keep doing you. Sending you love, hugs and peace. Enjoy your break! ❤
I’m on this weight journey too.
Thank you for always being honest. It is NOT normal to just carry on regardless when real pain and trauma is happening. You’re a human being. You’ve actually made me think I’m going to take a few days off so THANK YOU again. Hope today is good to you
I'm here to say that I absolutely love your content. Your authentic energy and spirit always shine through. Miserable love to hide in the dark and share their misery. Keep doin' you, sis!

Nothing about you is offensive. Everything about you is authentic, genuine, and true. Whoever’s on here talking trash to you is just jelly. Some ppl just can’t stand likable energy.❤ #teamcookie
As a Muslim woman, I feel the pain of our brothers and sisters in Gaza. Thank you, sis, ❤️ for even using your platform! We are ONE, inshallah! We will overcome this darkness around us. Ameen.
I love the way you loving and respectful enough of your mind and body to take care of yourself.
Carolyn, you are a breath of fresh air when it comes to this fashion and beauty space. I enjoy that you don’t conform and just are you in terms of fashion and styling. I enjoy how you deliver your content in your own unique way. Take a break. We will be here for you.
I am working on self care and losing weight, because it has taken a mental toll and effecting my self esteem. I am proud that I am working on doing something about it.
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!

Keep doing what you are doing and don't let these the few negative nannies invade into your space. Reset and come back stronger than ever!!
Carolyn! Block, block, and block again! Negative energy is not welcomed here!!! Keep being your fabulous self and F them haters!!! ❤
Love you! Literally i’ve been feeling the same. Empathy is my strength but can also be very draining as well. We are empaths. Take care of yourself my Virgo sis. You are beautiful! Do you sis.
thank you for your vulnerability, it takes so much courage to do so, and this is why I love your channel so much! have a wonderful break and space from social, rest, reset, well deserved break
thank you for your heart, our souls are all we got. solidarity & uplift to you steady.
I totally approve of this message. You are an authentic creator who creates amazing content. Don't let people who project their nasty personality stop your climb. Mental health is very important and should always be a focus. I believe in you, and I appreciate your content. ❤❤❤
Love me some Bipolar Max. I enjoy both you and Carolyn - such authentic and talented women!
@@karlaschmid8757 Thank you! I appreciate that 🙏 💯
Nice to meet you!! and thank you for this :) Im about to dive into your content !!
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.
I enjoy your content and commentary. It is refreshing. Take the time you need.
Just chiming in to say take a break whenever you need to, self care is necessary not just a trend! Also if you need Brooklyn girl to pull up in defense of your mama, just holla! Love your style, your humor and honesty!
Girl please do not let people ignorance disturb your peace! Get use to it because God is going to continue to bless you and your family. Stay authentic and be happy! ❤😘
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! 💕
Sending you a huge hug!!! Re-center and replenish yourself. Know this - For every uncouth person commenting, they’re 20 others who look to you as a resource and a beam of light that brings joy to their day!!! You are significant and you are appreciated ❤❤❤🍪🍪🍪
I really enjoy your vlogs they are really interesting and informative
Don’t let negative people or trolls bring your spirit down block them ❤
We as a family always gift each other when we get together🎁 It’s Fun n Considerate ❣️
Your videos have helped me use my current wardrobe in different ways that make me feel fashionable and confident. I look forward to your new videos and I appreciate you being so open! Take your time…I will be here when you get back : )
Your content REALLY helps me escape and takes weight off my shoulders. I love your light, energy, and wittiness. Take a break, don’t drain that energy that we all love. 🙌
I understand exactly how you feel. I have gained weight in my stomach because I have been eating more, especially mexican street corn, plus butter, breads, carbs. Be blessed.
I love watching your channel. Love your style and how entertaining you are. I am a woman of a certain age so I don’t have time or the patience to look at someone or something I don’t like. Just want you to know I love watching your channel
Sending you love and hugs sis!! I appreciate your channel and cheer your numbers growing! I pray you win in everything! Be blessed!
Reset, recharge, and rejuvenate as many times as you need to. Love this channel❤
Carolyn, block the 'trolls' and keep your happy, funny sense of humor. Those that are true followers will support you. There will always be opposition, which some times makes us stronger, but being disrespectful is a whole different thing. Take your time off and enjoy yourself.
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.
👏🏾 You are so appreciated. Thank you for sharing your voice and perspective! ✨🙌🏾✨
I’m sending you the biggest hug. Take a break and come back refreshed and back to YOU. I love you. 🤎
You are great! Shake these haters off! Rest, refresh, and do what you need to do for you!
I agree with you 100% about your Mama.
Yes girl please block those mean people and do take that week off to reset. Some people are judgey and uncouth. If you can not say anything nice say nothing at all is what I live by. Also give yourself a quitting time ……we all need balance. We luv your content so keep the vids coming when you want.👍🏾
Carolyn... Please take your time & get your peace.
Hey Beautiful it’s important to reset take your time mental health is extremely imperative! ❤
NO ONE deserves or is entitled to stress you. NO ONE deserves yout tears. NO ONE is entitled to know every part of your life. You are a queen, lift your head and be your authentic self.
Hello Carol,
I’m reaching out to send you Positive Energy and Prayers.
I feel sad that you’ve been made to feel sad by unkind internet trolls.
You are a strong, talented woman and a Positive Light. I will continue to pray for you and I will continue to pray and cast away anyone and anything that speaks against or goes against you.
Stay strong… Stay Focused on your goals.
Have a blessed and Favor Filled week.✨🙏🏽✨
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 🤣🥰🥰
Sending you a hug! I am proud of you and what you do. Keep doing you.
Before you started tearing up. I had just said out loud to my man. “I really really like her she’s truly an inspiration”
Don’t ever dim your light for others keep shining you are TALENTED AND BEAUTIFUL 💕
Carolyn your great. I enjoy your content your style.Girl you don’t need to change a thing.This is why your channel is growing. Don’t worry your people are your people. Many blessings.
Carolyn,
I've got time today!!
First I thought I was already subscribed! Thanks for indirectly call me out. I hit that button so fast.😅
I really enjoy your content. You have such a welcoming personality, and you're hilarious!
I too agree some people have the nerve to overstep with their comments. Keep sharing what's on your heart.
I just wanted to offer words of encouragement, and let you know you are so talented and stylish to boot! 🤗
I’m a real 🍪 Carolyn ❣️Don’t let these unsubscribed trolls 🧌 ruin your platform! We are here for you ! & we will be here when u come back from your break/reset. Have your boundaries & keep your relationship w your higher power to yourself, we all deserve to do that. Best wishes in your self care, your weight loss, your boundary setting & whatever else u need to do to keep your peace & repair your mindset. 🍪🍪🍪💋
Wow! The nerve of some people, I am with you, nobody talks about our parents. Nope!!! Honestly, take a break, and we wait for you. I am thinking of going to NYC this summer or fall. Forget about them. Thanks for the videos.
Take a break, take your time, and reset. We'll be here.
Carolyn I love your channel. You are doing a fantastic job, I know you can get irked dealing with a lot of different opinions. People need to think before they text. If it hurts your feeling when you read it back, why would they think it wouldn’t hurt someone else’s feelings. People just don’t think . Take time off when you need to for your mental wellness. You are right there are a lot of bad things going on in the world, but some people only think if it is not happening in their neighborhood it doesn’t affect them. Just plain indifferent to others.
Love your channel. Sending love. I am wishing you all the best on your week off.
Unfortunately, People can be crucial speacially on social media.
Take care x
I love that you're setting boundaries and taking time for yourself. Take that break, hell, do it OFTEN. There is no shortage of trolls on Black creators' posts, especially Black women/femmes, telling y'all what you should and shouldn’t do and just how to live in general. [Eff] em! Take up space, give AND receive luxury gifts, wear the daring things. The real cookies gon support either way! Keep up the amazing work! 🫶🏾
I always like. You know i’m happy when i see you and sometimes have nothing to say. This is also not my language so it takes longer for me. You are doing good. Love you. Greetings from the Netherlands
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.
Thank you so much for sharing this with me.
I feel like everyone in the 30 and over crew has something going with their knees LOL! but thank you for confirming me in the content that I create and that is feels grounded. That is my intention always, to stay grounded and just share my reality with a flare of fun:)
Thank you for your support in all of this
I love your transparency, there’s a cosmic shift happening, love and joy are the way. Thank you for trailblazing, keep taking good care of yourself. I love to see it!
Your empathy is enough. Create and give that to the world. Do not take in what belongs to others.
Girl, take your time. We’ll be here once you’re more clear and settled in your spirit. I so appreciate your content and the way you present. 💝
I love your content, your Humor, your taste. ❤
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! 😅💪🏾❤️
HEY BMORE CUZZZZ!!!
now Im not going to lie... I WANT 27 birkin kind of money LOL but I don't need 27 of them thangs! but thank you for seeing my balance. I truly love and appreciate that.
NOT west Baltimore going to the depths of HELL LOL!!! but that is true haha!!!
I think at this point in the game, Im mentally getting stronger, these comments are uplifting me, either Im going to just exercise the heck out of the block button or karma will get the trolls!
I thank you for your support cuz:)
You are a very sweet and nice person in my opinion. You are moving up more and people are going to hate . Best to you 😊
Carol in this day and age some people just make you humm the have big audacity and just saying some nonsense thing just to bring your spirit down because yours is one of fun easy and people don’t like that for some reason but that’s there problem the plan is to make you feel some type of way any way your weight still good and the main thing is you gone take care before it to late but just pray and think they need something for their self to feel better and evidently that HATEN ❤❤❤❤
Thank you for your contents, I’m a new cookie 😊and I love humor and realness. Thank you for sharing, I feel you!
I love all your content and appreciate your hard work ❤
You are awesome.You should not have to explain anything. You are none of things and are very respectful and so cheerful. We are real people. With real feelings and all the things. Again you are awesome and brave. People cant do what you do. People hide behind these devices they are the tasteless ones. Take a break but dont leave. I will miss your voice, style, energy and spirit.
Love your the videos been subscribed to you for quite sometime and you have inspired me. People need to learn people have boundaries. Take your break i will be here when you get back 🤗🤗🤗🤗
Take care of yourself ❤
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🙏🏾❤️
Caroline,
You are from now first chanel that I am following. And I was watching everything from you as you mentioned. I watched other content creators and for now I love only you and Cassie ( and I am not subscribed for now) because you are not afraid to tell that something is not worth,
not beautiful, non ethic but be able to say that maybe orher thing od that brans is opposite. Not subscribe - Probably pshilology is that we don't like commitment of that tipe.😊 actually the RUclips, as soon as you realise a video, is putting video on the top of my suggested videos so somehow we dont need. You are not afraid to tell your opinion but you are fragile as every human. You have a great taste in fashion sense, great way of expressing, good with words.
I love your honesty. We are all going though IT in one way or another.
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.
I've been trying to have a no buy month since the beginning of the year. It still haven't happened. Nobody shouldn't be worried about nobody money.
The no buying situation is HARD AS HECK! I will try again though LOL!
Be uplifted my sister and keep living your best life! Remember….. No weapon( or comment) formed against you shall prosper….❤️
Beautiful and authentic. Thank you.
Very transparent post. I, too, have been overwhelmed by all of the things going on in our world. May is Mental Health Awareness month and I want to applaud you for recognizing your areas of opportunity and taking action to correct them; not just complains by about them like so many of us. Set your boundaries! If “they” don’t like it they can kick rocks with open toed shoes on!
Hello! I wanted to say, “Thank you” for your content on all platforms. It is an escape when I feel stressed about my personal goals. I hope you will be able to rest, relax, and reset to benefit yourself. Thank you again.

Carolyn dear, I am so sorry that you are not in a good place right now. I completely understand why you feel that you need to reset. It’s unfortunate that there are so many not so nice people out here. But, please know that those of us who love you, truly enjoy your unique perspective and we crave your content. I pray that this week allows you the clarity that you need. As always, I truly wish you nothing but good things ❤

Take Care of You Carolyn. Don't be discouraged. We all need a reset every now and again. We do live in difficult times so it's hard not to be affected.. Come back stronger and be mindful of time as it goes by. You got this.
I loved your met gala review !❤
Your content is truly a respite for me from all that is going on in the world. I have felt convicted at times for indulging in certain content with all that’s going on but its good knowing you also care. Thank you for sharing yourself with us. ❤
