hello!! black person here and i just want to touch that i’m so grateful you included environmental racism in this. the sustainability movement is so white dominated when the ones facing the biggest impact are BIPOC. together we’ll overcome this 💞

[@thatschicblog]

truly!!!!! hope we can start having deeper and more actionable conversations about this on youtube

[@9melissal]

Genuine question, how are poc impacted more by sustainability issues? I'm trying to learn, not disagree.

[@Lululover122]

@@9melissal hi! BIPOC because of systemic racism often tend to occupy and exist within the lower socioeconomic class and therefore live in areas which have food deserts or are near factories, and industrial areas and further away from any nature. This often is the reason that they’re health disparities between racial groups (obesity, diabetes, heart disease and asthma). It’s basically all these things accumulating to negatively impact BIPOC and remove us from sustainable living and environmentalism too. Hope this helps!!

I've been in bed since 6 pm. I've spent all day crying and this has been going on for weeks. Just by watching this video, I am reminded that I need to keep showing up for myself and for others. It is now 2 am and I'm finally getting out of bed to prepare for some actual rest. Thanks, Rachel.

[@FashAveGirl]

Oh sweetheart, my heart goes out to you, bc we have all been there. ✨✨Sending you positive vibes and love I truly hope things get better💕💕✨✨✨

[@thatschicblog]

yes yess YESSSS!!!! i love this phrase "get out of bed to prepare for actual rest" - sending you a virtual hug!!!!! don't beat yourself up over things you can't control or how you're processing your emotions. You're being human and it's beautiful! Hope you had a better start to this week 🐞 also @simplySK's comment is so so sweet and so true!!

[@lazygatita]

@@FashAveGirl Thank you so much! This comment is so sweet of you... I've been trying! Definitely feeling different than I was when I wrote that comment. Sending you so much positive energy right back at you!

[@lazygatita]

@@thatschicblog Their comment is very true! And I actually did have a less heavy week this time around! Thank you for reminding me to be more gentle with myself. I sometimes feel like I'm letting life pass me by and I blame myself a lot for not being able to keep up. But you're right, I need to take time to process my feelings. I tried my best to be more present this past week, and I felt it. Thank you for the virtual hug! I send one right back!

[@baxterintux1371]

There’s always the other side to it, but for now, feel the pain run through you. Tight virtual hug because yes as SimplySK said as humans we have all been to that deep hole to dig ourselves up.

[@damondominique]

Wow after watching this video, I now realize how easily I can change many things in my life! You made them look rather seamless to integrate in our lives which is important since I feel like most people wont implement these changes bc they’ll be “inconvenient” and take too long. Did any of that make sense? Anyway 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@alanitaaaaa]

Rachel and yourself are the only KZbinrs I come on here to watch. You two knowing each other brings so much joy into my lil heart. Bless u both n thank you.

[@audreyfang4540]

So glad to see you finally back, Rachel! I can't begin to share how much you've been an inspiration. If anyone truly embodies the act of musing in a visual form, that would be you and your videos. Thanks to your creative storytelling, I would love to make these changes ASAP and take steps to better our surroundings and our planet.

[@laurenfleener7]

yes!! i agree so much

inspiring me to keep going thank you for the kind words audrey

Hope you’re doing well Rach! ❤️ compared the the last video, your energy seems a lot more light, calm and grounded and it’s great to see ☺️ Im really happy for you

[@opdeemist]

I totally agree!!

She continues to evolve as a woman and it’s so beautiful to see

omg you guysssssss 🥺 IM A WOMAN NOW

[@charlie_mccosh]

I love you Rachel! So happy to wake up to a video! You have really helped me connect to my spirituality. Up to today I’ve been binging your videos in isolation and your videos have really kept me positive. You are like a big sister/role model to me, I’m so happy to see you back x

[@thatschicblog]

Charlie I love this for you and I! I think being here has helped me in general :) thank you for sharing

[@charlie_mccosh]

Rachel Nguyen ❤️ thank you for replying! I really really hope you’re happy! I can’t wait to see more videos! X

[@CynthiaCho]

Rachel giving us the progressive content that we all need 🌻🌿

[@AZ-oh4kd]

I miss you Rachel. I hope you are healthy and thriving mentally physically and spiritually. I started watching your videos when I moved to San Diego 4 years ago. Holidays in California were always associated with your vlogmas videos and for whatever reason I was thinking about you as they roll around. sending love and good vibes your way

[@TVOtrisha]

You're back!! 😁 This was a lovely video, as per usual. I hate to be that annoying person, but I'm a dentist so please don't use charcoal toothpaste, it's incredibly awful for your enamel (you will permanently wear it down, resulting in sensitivity). I also recommend continue using your electric toothbrush, because it is much more thorough than a manual brush. As much as I want to be zero waste in my daily life, I'm aware that my profession is incredibly wasteful, so the better you take care of your oral health, the less waste you will generate in the long run (in the form of less intensive dental care). Peace + love ✨

[@caracalled2505]

Trisha Vo This is such a helpful comment! Thank you so much!

[@thatschicblog]

thank you for sharing trisha!!! i'll keep that in mind. I've used other charcoal toothpastes in the past and never liked the grittiness. This one doesn't seem to have it, does it still have the same negative effects? Also, true, LOVE my electric toothbrush and can't do without it. I just am mindful about how (un)often I switch out the head. We do what we can, and love your perspective that preemptive care is lower waste than going to the dentist to fix things x

[@TVOtrisha]

@@thatschicblog I would still recommend against using any charcoal-based products, because it's still quite abrasive on a micro level. I actually really like fluoride gels (CariFree is what I recommend to my patients if they can afford it), because there are less abrasives + all the great benefits of regular toothpaste 😄

[@user-mz4og9pr4d]

Thanks! I always wondered about that. What about toothbrushes infused with charcoal?

[@TVOtrisha]

@@user-mz4og9pr4d I've actually never heard of those before, but my line of thinking is that they'd still probably be abrasive and/or hard. Go for soft bristle toothbrushes 🙂 I know charcoal has detoxifying/exfoliating properties, so you see it often in skincare, but unlike skin, teeth cannot regenerate and therefore you don't want to exfoliate them. Hope this helps!

[@ThanhMaiOFFICIAL]

So much positivity and inspiration here. Nice to see you use your platform to raise awareness as well as support social justice and equality. Keep up the great content and have a wonderful day 🙌💯☀️🌿

I really like how you called attention to the fact that sustainability is placed in something bigger which is how are we going to modify this system that doesn't serve us anymore. Thank you as always, Raychel!

same girl, i've been feeling very dissociative lately but really forcing myself to break the habit and sit in the uncomfortable feelings. it happens and try to indulge and heal in it when i need to feel that way 🎋
