i’m 21 and there’s two things that have just stuck with me recently; 1. what you’re not changing you are choosing. 2. you can’t complain about having a lot on you’re plate when the goal was to eat.
i’m 20…i’m currently going through a breakup and i’m having a hard time. my dad sat me down and said “just like you go to the gym everyday, your working to grow and strengthen certain muscles. you can’t forget that your heart is a muscle. your heart is in its second set. it’s tired, sore, achy, and on the verge of wanting to give up. but in the end, your heart is growing and getting stronger, just give it time.” so basically i’ve been crying ever since ab that, but it’s so true.
monetttt happy frontal lobe development!! everything you said was so motivating, I’m 24 (2000 baby twin) & the best advice I’ve internalized is to enjoy everyday because you’ll never get it back. But the best mentality that forces me into the present is: remember that when u die you’ll have to watch your life back, make it something worth reliving 🤍 happy bday queen thanks for giving us a gift on UR day
Beautiful Monet ! As a 22 year old, I think some of my fav lessons are: 1. Let gratitude be the root of your existence 2. LOVE. ANYWAYSSSSS !!!!! (Love those that hate you.) 3. Be true to yourself. THIS IS UR LIFE, LIVE IT HOW YOUUUUU WANT TO !!!!!! Ugh, I love you so big and I hope you had the best day.
I’m 42 & two of my biggest lessons have been to love myself & it’s never too late to start a new career. I joined the military a month before my 42nd birthday & I’m in training school right now in San Antonio to become military police for the Navy! Loved this vlog! I hope you’re enjoying your birthday with your friends! Happy Birthday Monet! 💕🥳
At 34, one thing I’ve learned, because I had to learn it early, is that people love to put timelines on everything. But honestly, I’ve always moved at my own pace. Life has thrown a lot my way, from switching careers and changing friend groups to meeting my husband. You’re going to go through stuff, and that’s just how life works. When I was 25, that was such an emotional roller coaster for me. It felt like a turning point where I had to start evaluating everything, who my real friends were, who actually showed up for me, and even how I viewed certain family relationships. It was the age where I realized I had to figure out who was really in my corner. And, funny enough, it’s not just a one time thing. You have to do it every few years. Like when I had my daughter, it hit me all over again. I had to reassess everything. But here’s the thing, everyone’s story and journey are different. What works for one person may not work for someone else. So, take everything you go through with a grain of salt, live your life on your terms, and don’t let anyone rush you. Make your own decisions, enjoy the process, and move at a pace that feels right for you. Happy birthday, pretty girl ❤
omg monetttt thank you for this!! I am currently 19 and a pre-med student who's studying for the MCAT and just having to make a lot of big decisions that will literally affect the trajectory of my life. The "you can't be nervous if you're not prepared" really spoke to me bc I just have a lot of big interviews and exams coming up so it's fr going to be my motto moving forward.
Lmk if you need help with anything! I’m starting med school this summer but am free anytime prior to help out! Definitely remember what it was like being in your shoes, so I’m happy to help!
I remember when you turned 23 and looking up to you and now I’m turning 23 this valentines and looking up to your advice at 25. It’s like a virtual big sis. Your journey has inspired mine so much so thank you! Aquarius girlies unite !
Im 30, big sis here! Just like you, I was eager to turn 30. Something about it just felt so 🤌🏾 and IS ❤ I’m so grateful that you learned so many of these lessons so young, most of these I learned around 28. So snaps on all accounts! Also, I quit drinking at 25. Going on 5 years sober and it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made for myself. And trust, the vibes are high! You will still have a blast without it🙌🏾 happy birthday baby girl 🎂🫶🏾
I’m 38, and what I have always done is walk to the beat of my own drum! I know god orders my steps! I know that what is for me is for me and I’ll know exactly what moves to make when it’s time! Happy birthday Queen!!!💓💓💓
Happy birthday girl!!!!! I hope you had a blast celebrating! I’m 35 and I felt the “protect your peace/energy” part!! No one else is going to do that for you and you owe it to yourself to put you first ! Also being at peace with and by yourself is something so special and priceless. We are lucky to have loved ones around but at the end of the day you have to sit with your own self and it’s important to be proud and at home I. Your own body and mind.
happy birthday bookie butt!!! 25 on 25' :( you are inspiration to so many and have helped us so so much with confidence and self-love, never ever stop being you i love you!!
“Pour back to your people” yessss Montayyy! That’s a very telling of people’s maturity imo. I’m turning 28 this year and it’s so important to look outside of yourself love that that was a point for you ❤
You’ve inspired me to knuckle down and jot down notes to do an up and coming video on what I wanna give back to da-people-dem, since I turn 30 this yeaaaaar. Hearing you loud and clearly, looking forward to 30 is A GIFT. Happy birthday to you AQUA babyyyy. Love seeing you grow, love seeing you be confident, love seeing you glow. Thanks for being an authentic individual. That sh*t rare. I see you. The only influencer I ever give my time to.
i turned 23 a couple weeks ago and i have officially started my content journey (that i’ve been putting off for years) and a piece of advice that’s been helping me recently is to just take everything one day at a time and know that mistakes are ok to make as long as you learn from them ! you’re a huge inspiration to me and i wanna say thank you for helping me wayyyy more than you know , hope you enjoyed your birthday and thanks for theses gems ❤
happy birthday monet!! i’m 20, and honestly one thing i learn if (1) don’t let anyone make you doubt youuuuuu. like i be doubting myself and have lost trust in myself because im putting too much energy or just listening too much on the outside and not myself. (2) literally sitting down and knowing yourself. journal, go to the park, literally spend time with YOURSELF. doing that made me grow the most confident, comfortable, and happy with being still + knowing myself !
“Protect your peace” all day everyday. Whether you know it or not it takes a lot of work to get to a place of peace so don’t let little things or people ruin that. It doesn’t mean hate them or hold resentment cause they don’t fit into YOUR peaceful life. It just means recognize that, know how much of you life you wanna share with them, and keep it pushin.
thank you monet for always acting like a big sister to us. I found you around the famous Tarte Trip in Dubai era and have been hooked ever since to the TTs, and youtube. the way you lead life with gratitude, generosity and love for your inner circle and us is what makes you such an easy person to follow and celebrate. and heavy on life is NEVER that serious, i’m 20 and have been preaching it for a MIN now. def takes the weight off your heart and makes you laugh at situations rather than stress.
I loved that you talked about when u were in nursing school, working overnight, feeling nervous for clinicals and feeling unprepared. I’m going through that rn and one of the things I’m trying to work on is not having so much worry/anxiety abt my future and day to day life with school. I wanna learn how to appreciate and feel happy and ok with life even during the semester when I’m stressed with class work and clinicals
I’m 24! Going to be 25 this year too!! I’m learning to be sober and now 608 days alcohol free and 131 cannabis free! Im a beginner nail tech, and have been growing my own business for the past year! Finally starting nail tech school soon!! And going to apply back to university of Arizona, after dropping out 2 months before graduation… I was struggling with my mental health and addictions, but now I’m grateful for life again and ready to pursue my dreams and education again🩷🥹 love ya sm Monet and seeing your success really do encourage me to chance my dreams as well!, happy happy birthday queen
I’m 24…my birthday just passed and one of my hidden gems is ( take advice from anyone with a grain of salt because if their life doesn’t reflect the life you want than you can’t take their advice too personally) This has helped me separate myself from what people want me to do and what I need to do for myself/faith.
I’m 22, and I’ve been having a hard time the past few years with trusting people again and getting to know new friends and just letting people in, and I just think an overarching lesson in that and in my career goals has been “The worst they can say is no.” With new people in my life, growing new friendships and releasing old ones, reaching out to people for opportunities, etc., If people don’t want to be in my life and I reach out to them, they’ll show it and then you can move on and find what’s for you, and same with my career! It’s just been something i’m working on in being vulnerable and dreaming big again :)
right and the people who aren't right for you, they make space for the people who will be meant for you. you haven't even met all of the people that are gonna love you yet, stay true to yourself queenie :3
“Friendship are temporary and for a purpose” this is literally what I needed to hear 🥺 I just went through a hard friendship breakup and yeaaah I’m ready for new beginnings
7:15 i remember you saying the exact same advice when you and jalen started dating and we didn't know yettt, i've truly learned a lot from you monet happy birthday to the wisest baddieee love you
Happy birthday Monetttt🥂 I’m 23 turning 24, my biggest life lesson that iv lived by is that everything eventually works out in your favour ‘divine timing’, even when you can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel, keep going through the tunnel
Happy birthday, beautiful! I adore watching you, your life, your journey. You do feel wise beyond your years and you have such a pure and genuine aura. Thank you for sharing your light with us! 🤍
Im 21... I've learned thats its okay to step back and come back.... sometimes the reason something isnt working out, is because you arent mentally or emotionally ready, step back and come back when youre more mature- new perspective ❤❤❤
in this era of my life, I am chasing my dreams. One of my biggest dreams since I was a kid was to get in front of a camera and talk to people , but I always felt so embarrassed of what others may think and when I did try, I did get bullied for it. But fxxx the haters. 2024 was terrible year for me. I was chasing my dreams then too, but I was dreaming small. All of the dreams I had came and went within weeks. So now that I know I can make my dreams come true, even even if it’s very short-lived. I’m reaching for bigger. 2025 is going to be a very prosperous year for me and I hope to learn a lot of things. I wish a beautiful 25 in 2025 for you ❤
I'm 31, and I learned to LIVE. Life is so short, stop being afraid to try new things and embrace your age...everyone wants to grow up so fast. Be safe and enjoy life!!
the single most important thing i read today was: your ego is for you, and no one else. our confidence, our livelihood, our methods of happiness are for US!!
28:37 you remembered me at an event and I WAS SO BLOWN bc alot of influencers can’t pick their mutuals out in a crowd lol do not beat yourself up over that! You’re doing better than most & we appreciate you 🩷
Happy birthday Monet!! Thank you for always sharing with us! ❤ I’m 30 and I’d say 1 thing I’ve learned is to not take life so seriously, do the things you want to do in that moment, be selfish with your time and energy. Like you said we are all just searching for happiness & so do what makes you happy n smile. Also be a good person!!! I could never wrap my head around how people can be so nasty sometimes i pray they heal cause that’s really what they need.
i turn 24 this september and everything you said hit so close to home. even if we haven't experienced similar things, all these things can apply to our lives. i have to remind myself so often to take a step back and be present because i can get so caught up in my thoughts and i know i am the only one that can control how they affect me or not. sending you so much love on your bday and 4ever
I’m 22 and the first one you started I really needed to hear that , it’s been in the back of my mind for a while but what you said is being peace to me 🫶🏼🫶🏼 love a wise thought queen
Loved this a lot, please do more! I'm about to be 22 and have learned so much but one of my favorites is that the time will pass anyway. Another one is that time is not an apology. It is okay to not forgive or forget, but do not let that stop you from healing and moving on.
I’m freshly 21, and I’ve been having a hard time with letting things go and putting myself in new situations. But I’ve learned so far that its better to admit that you walked through the wrong door than spend your life in the wrong room!! Love this video monet, I definitely needed a little inspiration and to know that I’m not the only girl out here feeling this way. 💕💕
2000s twin heerree! I too feel very in tuned with my age, like 25 feels like a good age, I can feel it. One of my favorite things you touched on was doing things that make you happy and feed your soul, find your passion and listen to them. Those two really resonate with me. When you pour yourself into something you love ( people, work, hobbies etc.) you release such positive and beautiful energy because your pouring into yourself and tuning into the best version of yourself ❤
You’re SO INSPIRING Monet ❤ your work ethic is truly unmatched and I love that you had a humble beginning. No one else deserves this dream life more than you!! Your vulnerable and raw moments provide so much value to us as your audience because YOU KEEP IT REAL!! Money and fame did not change you because you have such a genuine heart. Don’t stop making these types of sit down content 🥲❤️❤️❤️
I loved thisss! Im 25 too and I think thats why Ive always been tuned in to your content! Even though we are on two completely different paths in life I still resonated with a lot of the lessons learned! Watching you the past 4 years also helped me reassure myself that what i am going through is normal just a huge transition in life going from college to real life and thats why its always a roller coaster
happy birthday badddieee!! words of wisdom for real, you can tell how genuine, authentic and a sweetheart you are through all of your videos, I have been watching your vids for forever now and every sunday I am satttt for your vlogs. you deserve all the good and more, enjoy this new chapter!!!!! ill still be here when you give your words of advice at 50 lmao 😆😆
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MS MONTAY!! ty for blessing us always we love u 🫶🏼 cheers to 25 and to more life, more love, more accomplishments, more memories, n more baddie energy 🥂 wait also this video is so cutttte aw ty for sharing this
these are some things i really needed to hear this week. i’m 21 (22 in may) and i’ve been so hard on myself recently because i’ve been feeling so behind on life and my goals because of what i see on social media. but i have to remind myself of how young i am and there is no telling what there is for me tomorrow, next week, next month or next year. i just have to continue to do what i love!! thank you for sharing your wisdom montayyy 🤍 i love you and happy birthdayyy!!! 🎉
Okayyy Montayy on the self development podcastt🙌🏼🙌🏼 I’m 28 and my fav gems are: what’s for you will happen and vision is always 20/20 retrospect everything always works out for you the way it’s meant to happen 👏🏼💕
Happy Birthday, Monet! I hope 25 is amazing for you 💖 These videos are my favorite-your honesty is so comforting. It’s inspiring to see how far you’ve come and reminds me we’re all just going through life’s stages. We are just girlssss…. Thank you for sharing!🫧
Happy birthday queennnnn….i would always be thankful for the day you popped on my screen for the first time in 2023💕 it just changed how i began to see myself and made me appreciate myself and give myself more grace…love you queen
Happy birthday queen ✨ I got told this saying last year and wish I had heard it early in life. “Some people are in your life for a reason, a season and a lifetime”
Love Love love the big sis adviceee, it’s so inspiring hearing you talk about your experiences! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MONTAYYY, can’t wait for the birthday vlogg. Imma be sitting in front of my screen WAITING a next sunday.
Monet, you are awesome! Keep up the good work girl! I’m literally watching this video like we are legit having a true one on one fr!!! I’m 26 but I’m loving the sissy bestie vibes!! Thank you for reminding me “WHO I AM” and that’s on period HAHAHA!!
Happiest of birthdays to you Mone’t. I wish you so much love, happiness and continued success. You are so deserving. I really don’t understand how you could even get an ounce of hate, you radiate so much love and light. Big hugs bookie❤
Hi Monet, I’m a 20 year old film student who is still trying to figure everything out and this advice was so helpful. As a transfer student the point of putting yourself out there reminded me to stop being so shy and see what happens once I step out my comfort zone.
Happy birthday mo!!! Thank you for this beautiful video on your birthday. You have the most beautiful soul. This video is exactly what I needed right now because I turned 20 2weeks ago and I really want the next 10 years of my life to be better. Ever since you told me on my birthday last year that friends are there for a lesson and I should cherish the time we had, I’ve always kept it in my heart so thank you. You also said we should invest in ourselves and I’ve been doing that. I struggle with acne so I invested in my skincare routine . I also have a lazy eye and that’s something that has lowered my confidence so I’ve been reading about the surgery and I think I’ll get this year. The main thing I’ve learned in life is that I should live for myself and that is by doing things that make me happy because that’s why we are here. Life is really short to be unhappy. Thank you so much for this video again and I wish you the happiest birthday ever!! I love you💗
Awww this was beautiful! Continue to be a big sister to your younger viewers. It’s so special! Happy birthday boo❤ Hope you’re loving one of my fav cities!!!
Happy birthday!!! I’m 32 and I would say one thing I’ve learned and would pass on to others is to not compare yourself to others. Especially when it comes to work/travel/marriage/baby. You’ll never believe you are enough if you continue to see others do things you aren’t. remember that you are doing things people hope to one day do. ❤
HAPPIEST BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!! Aquarius queen💜 I loved this video, felt like a kiki sesh with my older sister🥹 So proud of you and excited to see what 25 brings 😇
Happy Birthday Monettttt🥳 I’m turning 25 in July but my two cents is to stay grounded. Just like you said about hobbies and individualism. It’s important to fill the cup you pour from too But also showing love and not living in fear. No one deserves to settle
Happy Birthday Montayyy!!🎉🎉 I honestly needed this video and it came out at a perfect timing. All loooveeee. I’m about to be 22 and its like i get super anxious every year thinking i haven’t done enough and that I’m getting left behind while everyone else keeps going. The most memorable advice I’ve got is ” you don’t live for others, you live for yourself” which reminds me to stop thinking about what everyone else thinks about me and what im doing including my failures and accomplishments. This was a really loooongg comment 😂 But lastly I really enjoy your videos and im also a nursing student trying my best out here and hoping to make myself and the people around me proud (and hopefully you aswell🙌🏾) ❣️❣️
im turning 25 this year too! 2000 babies RAHHHHH. but for me the biggest gem I have been telling myself is, do the things that scare you. That truly is how you grow by allowing yourself to do things that give you anxiety and you realize, shit wasn't that hard like actually. and also being open to being wrong. we all are learning constantly and that should never stop
Happy birthday you beautiful soullllll 🥳🥳💛💛 grateful to have stumbled across you a few years ago! You constantly inspire me and are such a beautiful person inside and out 💛💛 have THE best timeeeee!
Happy Birthday! Thank you for sharing this with us! I’m 30 and my biggest regret is spending my 20s trying to live by people’s expectations and not enjoying and getting to know myself more. Learning to love myself and setting my own standards and boundaries! 🙏🏽💕
Happy birthday our queen, you really changed my life, I’m grateful for your existence and I hope your life continues to become better and better. May God continue to bless you . We love you. I love you
I’m 22 years old, I feel like one gem I definitely experience often is dwelling on the past. that’s a big thing that I tend to do is dwell on things I can’t control and honestly I have to be okay with it and get over it and try to progress.
I be writing full novels in the comments but I just gotta get this off my chest ya feels me?!! First of all being able to feel like you my homegirl for the 3 years I been rocking with you has been such an HONOR and this video made me hella grateful I discovered you when I did. I feel like we really grew up together 🥺 You inspire me in soooo many ways Mo. You truly are big sis & your maturity and perspective on life has really altered the way I see the world and helped me apply those tips you have to my own life throughout the years. YOU ARE THAT BIHHH! Please don’t play with her mm, thank you. Que Dios te bendigaaaa🧿🥰 ❤ & HAPPY BORNDAY YUHH 🎉
Hope you had an amazing birthday!❤️I’m only 19 but everything you talked about in this video really resonated with me and feeling like this year will be a good one!
Im only 17 but a few things that have stuck with me are 1. Dont be afraid to speak up for yourself. 2. Accept & move on. 3. Speak up about how you feel. 4. Be a leader not a follower 5. Its okay to not be okay 6. If something doesnt feel right/ you get a bad gut feeling TRUST YOURSELF. 7. YOU know YOUR body better than anyone else. 8. Take risks. I hope you all are having a wonderful day/night. Be the best version of yourself always. Be kind. And I’m proud of all of you🩷
Hey Monet, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!🎉 Honestly, I was debating if I should comment or not because I am one of the older women who watch your content, hitting 40 this year , a millennial baby, and I feel extremely grounded and secure more than I’ve ever felt. I watch your content because you remind me of my 20s, very nostalgic and a breath of fresh air. Your advice was on point, and you are way beyond your years. I honestly experienced everything you mentioned and as you said, life goes on it is not that serious. Just be kind and life will reward you 10 fold! Lastly, I will leave you with this…. my best friend and I met in high school, 9th grade biology class, and we just celebrated her 40th at Disney World last week… We truly had an amazing time and we laughed and looked at old pictures and shared stories and memories . Life only gets better and up from here! HAPPY BIRTHDAY AGAIN!❤
I look up to you so much! Struggling in my job right now but also the fact I can’t pour as much time into my photography business while also planning my wedding but I feel you know how I feel I just wanna succeed at it all! I know what’s coming for me will come at the right time, praying it all works out! Ily sm queenie ❤️
I’ve turned 30 this month, and the most important thing I’ve learned is to be you, not settle and be kind. I was a pendeja, I tried to make everyone happy, and make no one feel mad at me. I learned it’s okay to have boundaries and people who cross them aren’t meant to be in your life. It’s okay to be a bad bitch and take no shit, but still be kind about it. I like to think of me as a spicy caramel, not everyone is going to like it and that’s OKAY, it’s not for them then. ❤ ps happy birthday to this light of a women, loving watching the old vlogs!
i’m 21 and there’s two things that have just stuck with me recently; 1. what you’re not changing you are choosing. 2. you can’t complain about having a lot on you’re plate when the goal was to eat.
THIS !!!!
Love this Oh my word
a video on your birthday ON A SUNDAY ??? AT EXACTLY 3 PM??? like the old days??? MONET IVE BEEN BLESSED 🥹🥹🥹🥹
i’m 20…i’m currently going through a breakup and i’m having a hard time. my dad sat me down and said “just like you go to the gym everyday, your working to grow and strengthen certain muscles. you can’t forget that your heart is a muscle. your heart is in its second set. it’s tired, sore, achy, and on the verge of wanting to give up. but in the end, your heart is growing and getting stronger, just give it time.” so basically i’ve been crying ever since ab that, but it’s so true.
sorry my girl. What your dad said is so sweet
23- my fav is “everything done in the dark will come to the light”! Don’t even waste your energy things will come out naturally whatever that is!
from euphoria sundays to monet sundays. happy birthday queen
Euphoria came out??
monetttt happy frontal lobe development!! everything you said was so motivating, I’m 24 (2000 baby twin) & the best advice I’ve internalized is to enjoy everyday because you’ll never get it back. But the best mentality that forces me into the present is: remember that when u die you’ll have to watch your life back, make it something worth reliving 🤍 happy bday queen thanks for giving us a gift on UR day
Beautiful Monet ! As a 22 year old, I think some of my fav lessons are:
1. Let gratitude be the root of your existence
2. LOVE. ANYWAYSSSSS !!!!! (Love those that hate you.)
3. Be true to yourself. THIS IS UR LIFE, LIVE IT HOW YOUUUUU WANT TO !!!!!!
Ugh, I love you so big and I hope you had the best day.
I’m 42 & two of my biggest lessons have been to love myself & it’s never too late to start a new career. I joined the military a month before my 42nd birthday & I’m in training school right now in San Antonio to become military police for the Navy!
Loved this vlog! I hope you’re enjoying your birthday with your friends! Happy Birthday Monet! 💕🥳
congrats my love! glad you're focusing on yourself and i wish you the best always
Military ? 😬
@@bluengrey she’s doing what aligns with her and it doesn’t have to make sense to anyone but her. focus on your dreams :)
My personal fav is “your future self is always watching so make them proud” 🥺 loved all of this, happy birthday Aquarius sis!!
At 34, one thing I’ve learned, because I had to learn it early, is that people love to put timelines on everything. But honestly, I’ve always moved at my own pace. Life has thrown a lot my way, from switching careers and changing friend groups to meeting my husband. You’re going to go through stuff, and that’s just how life works.
When I was 25, that was such an emotional roller coaster for me. It felt like a turning point where I had to start evaluating everything, who my real friends were, who actually showed up for me, and even how I viewed certain family relationships. It was the age where I realized I had to figure out who was really in my corner. And, funny enough, it’s not just a one time thing. You have to do it every few years.
Like when I had my daughter, it hit me all over again. I had to reassess everything. But here’s the thing, everyone’s story and journey are different. What works for one person may not work for someone else. So, take everything you go through with a grain of salt, live your life on your terms, and don’t let anyone rush you. Make your own decisions, enjoy the process, and move at a pace that feels right for you.
Happy birthday, pretty girl ❤
omg monetttt thank you for this!! I am currently 19 and a pre-med student who's studying for the MCAT and just having to make a lot of big decisions that will literally affect the trajectory of my life. The "you can't be nervous if you're not prepared" really spoke to me bc I just have a lot of big interviews and exams coming up so it's fr going to be my motto moving forward.
i’m literately in the same boat as you. you got this and you’re going to kill it!
omg babe i’m where you are rn!! we definitely got this, just have to have faith and put the work in as well
you got this !!
Lmk if you need help with anything! I’m starting med school this summer but am free anytime prior to help out! Definitely remember what it was like being in your shoes, so I’m happy to help!
I remember when you turned 23 and looking up to you and now I’m turning 23 this valentines and looking up to your advice at 25. It’s like a virtual big sis. Your journey has inspired mine so much so thank you! Aquarius girlies unite !
Im 30, big sis here! Just like you, I was eager to turn 30. Something about it just felt so 🤌🏾 and IS ❤ I’m so grateful that you learned so many of these lessons so young, most of these I learned around 28. So snaps on all accounts! Also, I quit drinking at 25. Going on 5 years sober and it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made for myself. And trust, the vibes are high! You will still have a blast without it🙌🏾 happy birthday baby girl 🎂🫶🏾
congrats !! im prada you
@ aww thank you love 🥹 appreciate the recognition 🫶🏾
Favorite advice from the video is life is not that serious!! I wish everyone could have that mindset. Definitely find the light in every situation.
I’m 38, and what I have always done is walk to the beat of my own drum! I know god orders my steps! I know that what is for me is for me and I’ll know exactly what moves to make when it’s time!
Happy birthday Queen!!!💓💓💓
just tuned 25 and everything you said resinated with me. Literally just work hard and genuinely be a good person, life goes on no matter what
Happy birthday girl!!!!! I hope you had a blast celebrating! I’m 35 and I felt the “protect your peace/energy” part!! No one else is going to do that for you and you owe it to yourself to put you first ! Also being at peace with and by yourself is something so special and priceless. We are lucky to have loved ones around but at the end of the day you have to sit with your own self and it’s important to be proud and at home I. Your own body and mind.
Monet. You have no idea how much i needed to hear this. crying. Love you and thank you.
happy birthday bookie butt!!! 25 on 25' :( you are inspiration to so many and have helped us so so much with confidence and self-love, never ever stop being you i love you!!
“Pour back to your people” yessss Montayyy! That’s a very telling of people’s maturity imo. I’m turning 28 this year and it’s so important to look outside of yourself love that that was a point for you ❤
Happiest birthday queen💕 hope it’s your best year yet
You’ve inspired me to knuckle down and jot down notes to do an up and coming video on what I wanna give back to da-people-dem, since I turn 30 this yeaaaaar. Hearing you loud and clearly, looking forward to 30 is A GIFT. Happy birthday to you AQUA babyyyy. Love seeing you grow, love seeing you be confident, love seeing you glow. Thanks for being an authentic individual. That sh*t rare. I see you. The only influencer I ever give my time to.
i turned 23 a couple weeks ago and i have officially started my content journey (that i’ve been putting off for years) and a piece of advice that’s been helping me recently is to just take everything one day at a time and know that mistakes are ok to make as long as you learn from them ! you’re a huge inspiration to me and i wanna say thank you for helping me wayyyy more than you know , hope you enjoyed your birthday and thanks for theses gems ❤
happy birthday monet!! i’m 20, and honestly one thing i learn if (1) don’t let anyone make you doubt youuuuuu. like i be doubting myself and have lost trust in myself because im putting too much energy or just listening too much on the outside and not myself. (2) literally sitting down and knowing yourself. journal, go to the park, literally spend time with YOURSELF. doing that made me grow the most confident, comfortable, and happy with being still + knowing myself !
“Protect your peace” all day everyday. Whether you know it or not it takes a lot of work to get to a place of peace so don’t let little things or people ruin that. It doesn’t mean hate them or hold resentment cause they don’t fit into YOUR peaceful life. It just means recognize that, know how much of you life you wanna share with them, and keep it pushin.
You look so happy, gosh I love the radiant energy. Happy birthday sweetheart
thank you monet for always acting like a big sister to us. I found you around the famous Tarte Trip in Dubai era and have been hooked ever since to the TTs, and youtube. the way you lead life with gratitude, generosity and love for your inner circle and us is what makes you such an easy person to follow and celebrate. and heavy on life is NEVER that serious, i’m 20 and have been preaching it for a MIN now. def takes the weight off your heart and makes you laugh at situations rather than stress.
I loved that you talked about when u were in nursing school, working overnight, feeling nervous for clinicals and feeling unprepared. I’m going through that rn and one of the things I’m trying to work on is not having so much worry/anxiety abt my future and day to day life with school. I wanna learn how to appreciate and feel happy and ok with life even during the semester when I’m stressed with class work and clinicals
I’m 24! Going to be 25 this year too!! I’m learning to be sober and now 608 days alcohol free and 131 cannabis free! Im a beginner nail tech, and have been growing my own business for the past year! Finally starting nail tech school soon!! And going to apply back to university of Arizona, after dropping out 2 months before graduation… I was struggling with my mental health and addictions, but now I’m grateful for life again and ready to pursue my dreams and education again🩷🥹 love ya sm Monet and seeing your success really do encourage me to chance my dreams as well!, happy happy birthday queen
I’m 24…my birthday just passed and one of my hidden gems is ( take advice from anyone with a grain of salt because if their life doesn’t reflect the life you want than you can’t take their advice too personally) This has helped me separate myself from what people want me to do and what I need to do for myself/faith.
literally you know YOU best
I’m 22, and I’ve been having a hard time the past few years with trusting people again and getting to know new friends and just letting people in, and I just think an overarching lesson in that and in my career goals has been “The worst they can say is no.” With new people in my life, growing new friendships and releasing old ones, reaching out to people for opportunities, etc., If people don’t want to be in my life and I reach out to them, they’ll show it and then you can move on and find what’s for you, and same with my career! It’s just been something i’m working on in being vulnerable and dreaming big again :)
right and the people who aren't right for you, they make space for the people who will be meant for you. you haven't even met all of the people that are gonna love you yet, stay true to yourself queenie :3
“Friendship are temporary and for a purpose” this is literally what I needed to hear 🥺 I just went through a hard friendship breakup and yeaaah I’m ready for new beginnings
7:15 i remember you saying the exact same advice when you and jalen started dating and we didn't know yettt, i've truly learned a lot from you monet happy birthday to the wisest baddieee love you
Happy birthday Monetttt🥂
I’m 23 turning 24, my biggest life lesson that iv lived by is that everything eventually works out in your favour ‘divine timing’, even when you can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel, keep going through the tunnel
Happy birthday, beautiful! I adore watching you, your life, your journey. You do feel wise beyond your years and you have such a pure and genuine aura. Thank you for sharing your light with us! 🤍
Im 21... I've learned thats its okay to step back and come back.... sometimes the reason something isnt working out, is because you arent mentally or emotionally ready, step back and come back when youre more mature- new perspective ❤❤❤
in this era of my life, I am chasing my dreams. One of my biggest dreams since I was a kid was to get in front of a camera and talk to people , but I always felt so embarrassed of what others may think and when I did try, I did get bullied for it. But fxxx the haters. 2024 was terrible year for me. I was chasing my dreams then too, but I was dreaming small. All of the dreams I had came and went within weeks. So now that I know I can make my dreams come true, even even if it’s very short-lived. I’m reaching for bigger. 2025 is going to be a very prosperous year for me and I hope to learn a lot of things. I wish a beautiful 25 in 2025 for you ❤
I'm 31, and I learned to LIVE. Life is so short, stop being afraid to try new things and embrace your age...everyone wants to grow up so fast. Be safe and enjoy life!!
the single most important thing i read today was: your ego is for you, and no one else.
our confidence, our livelihood, our methods of happiness are for US!!
28:37 you remembered me at an event and I WAS SO BLOWN bc alot of influencers can’t pick their mutuals out in a crowd lol do not beat yourself up over that! You’re doing better than most & we appreciate you 🩷
Happy birthday Monet!! Thank you for always sharing with us! ❤ I’m 30 and I’d say 1 thing I’ve learned is to not take life so seriously, do the things you want to do in that moment, be selfish with your time and energy. Like you said we are all just searching for happiness & so do what makes you happy n smile. Also be a good person!!! I could never wrap my head around how people can be so nasty sometimes i pray they heal cause that’s really what they need.
i turn 24 this september and everything you said hit so close to home. even if we haven't experienced similar things, all these things can apply to our lives. i have to remind myself so often to take a step back and be present because i can get so caught up in my thoughts and i know i am the only one that can control how they affect me or not. sending you so much love on your bday and 4ever
I’m 22 and the first one you started I really needed to hear that , it’s been in the back of my mind for a while but what you said is being peace to me 🫶🏼🫶🏼 love a wise thought queen
Loved this a lot, please do more! I'm about to be 22 and have learned so much but one of my favorites is that the time will pass anyway. Another one is that time is not an apology. It is okay to not forgive or forget, but do not let that stop you from healing and moving on.
You have no idea how much I needed this positivity. Listened after a workout in the shower before my first test of last semester nursing school. ❤
Treadmill girlies clock in!! Happy birthday Monet!!!!!
I’m freshly 21, and I’ve been having a hard time with letting things go and putting myself in new situations. But I’ve learned so far that its better to admit that you walked through the wrong door than spend your life in the wrong room!! Love this video monet, I definitely needed a little inspiration and to know that I’m not the only girl out here feeling this way. 💕💕
2000s twin heerree!
I too feel very in tuned with my age, like 25 feels like a good age, I can feel it. One of my favorite things you touched on was doing things that make you happy and feed your soul, find your passion and listen to them. Those two really resonate with me. When you pour yourself into something you love ( people, work, hobbies etc.) you release such positive and beautiful energy because your pouring into yourself and tuning into the best version of yourself ❤
You’re SO INSPIRING Monet ❤ your work ethic is truly unmatched and I love that you had a humble beginning. No one else deserves this dream life more than you!! Your vulnerable and raw moments provide so much value to us as your audience because YOU KEEP IT REAL!! Money and fame did not change you because you have such a genuine heart. Don’t stop making these types of sit down content 🥲❤️❤️❤️
Also Happy Birthday Monet 🥳💕
I loved thisss! Im 25 too and I think thats why Ive always been tuned in to your content! Even though we are on two completely different paths in life I still resonated with a lot of the lessons learned! Watching you the past 4 years also helped me reassure myself that what i am going through is normal just a huge transition in life going from college to real life and thats why its always a roller coaster
happy birthday badddieee!! words of wisdom for real, you can tell how genuine, authentic and a sweetheart you are through all of your videos, I have been watching your vids for forever now and every sunday I am satttt for your vlogs. you deserve all the good and more, enjoy this new chapter!!!!! ill still be here when you give your words of advice at 50 lmao 😆😆
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MS MONTAY!! ty for blessing us always we love u 🫶🏼 cheers to 25 and to more life, more love, more accomplishments, more memories, n more baddie energy 🥂
wait also this video is so cutttte aw ty for sharing this
I’m 23 and one thing I have learned is be the light in someone’s life because you never know how hard life is hitting for someone.
Omg monet tysm for prompting this comment section - I’ll always revisit this when i need a community of big sis advice
LOVE the big sister vibe, happy birthday montayyyy
Good morning Monet happy Monday morning to you and I hope you having amazing weekend and I loved your vlogs and I enjoy your channel
these are some things i really needed to hear this week. i’m 21 (22 in may) and i’ve been so hard on myself recently because i’ve been feeling so behind on life and my goals because of what i see on social media. but i have to remind myself of how young i am and there is no telling what there is for me tomorrow, next week, next month or next year. i just have to continue to do what i love!!
thank you for sharing your wisdom montayyy 🤍 i love you and happy birthdayyy!!! 🎉
Okayyy Montayy on the self development podcastt🙌🏼🙌🏼 I’m 28 and my fav gems are: what’s for you will happen and vision is always 20/20 retrospect everything always works out for you the way it’s meant to happen 👏🏼💕
Happy Birthday, Monet! I hope 25 is amazing for you 💖 These videos are my favorite-your honesty is so comforting. It’s inspiring to see how far you’ve come and reminds me we’re all just going through life’s stages. We are just girlssss…. Thank you for sharing!🫧
Happy birthday queennnnn….i would always be thankful for the day you popped on my screen for the first time in 2023💕 it just changed how i began to see myself and made me appreciate myself and give myself more grace…love you queen
Happy birthday queen ✨
I got told this saying last year and wish I had heard it early in life. “Some people are in your life for a reason, a season and a lifetime”
happiest 25th birthday sisterrrr❤️💐🥳 may this year bring you everything you’ve ever dreamed of! wishing you many moreeee
I enjoyed this so much! Some good reminders and new things to think about 😊 Happy 25!! 🎉

Happiest of birthdays to you Mone’t. I wish you so much love, happiness and continued success. You are so deserving. I really don’t understand how you could even get an ounce of hate, you radiate so much love and light.
Big hugs bookie❤
Happy Birthday Monet!! Thank you for putting yourself out there and giving us all the goods!! 25 looks good on you, enjoy it!! 🎉🎉🎉
Most definitely need to make more of these videos !! When I tell you I was sat I was SAT, just love how real you are ❤️ and truly a motivator
Hi Monet, I’m a 20 year old film student who is still trying to figure everything out and this advice was so helpful. As a transfer student the point of putting yourself out there reminded me to stop being so shy and see what happens once I step out my comfort zone.
This is so reallllll! Always have been a beautiful human being, keep going, queen! And happy birthday 💐🥂✨🫶🏽
Happy birthday mo!!! Thank you for this beautiful video on your birthday. You have the most beautiful soul. This video is exactly what I needed right now because I turned 20 2weeks ago and I really want the next 10 years of my life to be better. Ever since you told me on my birthday last year that friends are there for a lesson and I should cherish the time we had, I’ve always kept it in my heart so thank you. You also said we should invest in ourselves and I’ve been doing that. I struggle with acne so I invested in my skincare routine . I also have a lazy eye and that’s something that has lowered my confidence so I’ve been reading about the surgery and I think I’ll get this year. The main thing I’ve learned in life is that I should live for myself and that is by doing things that make me happy because that’s why we are here. Life is really short to be unhappy. Thank you so much for this video again and I wish you the happiest birthday ever!! I love you💗
Awww this was beautiful! Continue to be a big sister to your younger viewers. It’s so special! Happy birthday boo❤ Hope you’re loving one of my fav cities!!!
happy birthday big sis !!! needed this more than evaaaa🥹❤️
happy birthday queeeen 💘 needed to hear all of this thank YOU!
Happy birthday!!!
I’m 32 and I would say one thing I’ve learned and would pass on to others is to not compare yourself to others. Especially when it comes to work/travel/marriage/baby. You’ll never believe you are enough if you continue to see others do things you aren’t. remember that you are doing things people hope to one day do. ❤
HAPPIEST BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!! Aquarius queen💜 I loved this video, felt like a kiki sesh with my older sister🥹 So proud of you and excited to see what 25 brings 😇
24 and my favorite thing ive learned and utilized is "its okay to say no" and also "you cannot change peoples perceptions of you" period
Happy Birthday Monettttt🥳
I’m turning 25 in July but my two cents is to stay grounded. Just like you said about hobbies and individualism. It’s important to fill the cup you pour from too
But also showing love and not living in fear. No one deserves to settle
Happy Birthday Montayyy!!🎉🎉
I honestly needed this video and it came out at a perfect timing. All loooveeee.
I’m about to be 22 and its like i get super anxious every year thinking i haven’t done enough and that I’m getting left behind while everyone else keeps going.
The most memorable advice I’ve got is ” you don’t live for others, you live for yourself” which reminds me to stop thinking about what everyone else thinks about me and what im doing including my failures and accomplishments.
This was a really loooongg comment 😂 But lastly I really enjoy your videos and im also a nursing student trying my best out here and hoping to make myself and the people around me proud (and hopefully you aswell🙌🏾)
❣️❣️
im turning 25 this year too! 2000 babies RAHHHHH. but for me the biggest gem I have been telling myself is, do the things that scare you. That truly is how you grow by allowing yourself to do things that give you anxiety and you realize, shit wasn't that hard like actually. and also being open to being wrong. we all are learning constantly and that should never stop
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MONTAYYYY
the amount of quotes i just wrote down wow this was so eye opening thank you for this!!!
Happy birthday you beautiful soullllll 🥳🥳💛💛 grateful to have stumbled across you a few years ago! You constantly inspire me and are such a beautiful person inside and out 💛💛 have THE best timeeeee!
Happy Birthday! Thank you for sharing this with us! I’m 30 and my biggest regret is spending my 20s trying to live by people’s expectations and not enjoying and getting to know myself more. Learning to love myself and setting my own standards and boundaries! 🙏🏽💕
happyy belateed bday!🤍 Last year I know exactly what I wanted for my life snd this year im going harder.. so “ DREAM BIG” was definitely my extra push
Omggg happy birthday my loveeeee, Ugh monettt your really put these words and advice so well and put together, love you sooo much 🥹😘😘
Happy birthday our queen, you really changed my life, I’m grateful for your existence and I hope your life continues to become better and better. May God continue to bless you . We love you. I love you
I’m 22 years old, I feel like one gem I definitely experience often is dwelling on the past. that’s a big thing that I tend to do is dwell on things I can’t control and honestly I have to be okay with it and get over it and try to progress.
Happy birthday Monet❤🎉. We are so lucky to have you. 3 yrs watching can’t wait for more YESSS🤍🤍
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOOKIE YOU DESERVE❤ , thankyou for blessing us today
Happy birthdaaaaaaay Montay 🎉🎉🎉 hope you had an amazing day and may the lord bless you with many more years !!
I be writing full novels in the comments but I just gotta get this off my chest ya feels me?!! First of all being able to feel like you my homegirl for the 3 years I been rocking with you has been such an HONOR and this video made me hella grateful I discovered you when I did. I feel like we really grew up together 🥺 You inspire me in soooo many ways Mo. You truly are big sis & your maturity and perspective on life has really altered the way I see the world and helped me apply those tips you have to my own life throughout the years. YOU ARE THAT BIHHH! Please don’t play with her mm, thank you. Que Dios te bendigaaaa🧿🥰 ❤ & HAPPY BORNDAY YUHH 🎉
I’m turning 25 in June (gemini seasonnnnn) and every single thing you listed was spot on! it’s crazy how fast our mental lobe develops at 24/25.
Hope you had an amazing birthday!❤️I’m only 19 but everything you talked about in this video really resonated with me and feeling like this year will be a good one!
Happy birthdayyy lil mamas im beyond grateful to call myself a supporter of you bbyg❤
Im only 17 but a few things that have stuck with me are
1. Dont be afraid to speak up for yourself.
2. Accept & move on.
3. Speak up about how you feel.
4. Be a leader not a follower
5. Its okay to not be okay
6. If something doesnt feel right/ you get a bad gut feeling TRUST YOURSELF.
7. YOU know YOUR body better than anyone else.
8. Take risks.
I hope you all are having a wonderful day/night. Be the best version of yourself always. Be kind. And I’m proud of all of you🩷
❤
Hey Monet, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!🎉
Honestly, I was debating if I should comment or not because I am one of the older women who watch your content, hitting 40 this year , a millennial baby, and I feel extremely grounded and secure more than I’ve ever felt. I watch your content because you remind me of my 20s, very nostalgic and a breath of fresh air.
Your advice was on point, and you are way beyond your years. I honestly experienced everything you mentioned and as you said, life goes on it is not that serious. Just be kind and life will reward you 10 fold!
Lastly, I will leave you with this…. my best friend and I met in high school, 9th grade biology class, and we just celebrated her 40th at Disney World last week… We truly had an amazing time and we laughed and looked at old pictures and shared stories and memories . Life only gets better and up from here!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY AGAIN!❤
I look up to you so much! Struggling in my job right now but also the fact I can’t pour as much time into my photography business while also planning my wedding but I feel you know how I feel I just wanna succeed at it all! I know what’s coming for me will come at the right time, praying it all works out! Ily sm queenie ❤️
Phew Monet you are wise beyond your years! Such great advice ‼️🫶🏾 Happiest birthday BEAUTIFULLLL Gurl 🎉 we luhhhh you 😍
I’ve turned 30 this month, and the most important thing I’ve learned is to be you, not settle and be kind. I was a pendeja, I tried to make everyone happy, and make no one feel mad at me. I learned it’s okay to have boundaries and people who cross them aren’t meant to be in your life. It’s okay to be a bad bitch and take no shit, but still be kind about it. I like to think of me as a spicy caramel, not everyone is going to like it and that’s OKAY, it’s not for them then. ❤ ps happy birthday to this light of a women, loving watching the old vlogs!
happy birthday monet!!! thank you for this older sister advice & still posting on your brithday. enjoy YOUR DAYYYY queen. 💞💞
