Let me know if you want to see more vlogs ❤ it was fun - 🤩

[@defitfanaat]

Love these kinds of vids🙏 I think you dont even need to say "Sorry forgot the vlog, it is the next day", we viewers dont have a knowledge of time and days in a video. Just go along with the vibe the next day, makes it easier for you as well🙏

[@theresasteidl7925]

I‘d love to see some more lifestyle content and vlogs 😊

[@whiskersBOOSTER2]

Yes!!!!😊

[@bbellebe]

Oh yes ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@girlonabike1]

Absolutely, I do!❤

[@makingwithmichelle]

I took my 13 year old daughter shopping the other day. Teaching her that trying things on is not a commitment to buy and that trying clothes on helps you learn about yourself and style. She showed me a top and was really flip flopping on whether she like it or not. So I used your words. "If its not a hell yes, its a hell no" She smiled and said "Ok. Its a no then" I love listening and learning from you so a bunch of different styles of content is just perfect with me. thank you for sharing.

[@Hello-Stoiko]

I do think teaching preteens and teens this concept can be immensely helpful. I wish I was taught this when I was young, but now at least my own teen can internalize this as she grows older.

[@cbeghin0514]

This is so lovely! I feel like especially in the preteen phase, they’re about to go through so much insecurity/uncertainty and stress in the coming years, giving them guidelines to feel self assured is amazing!

[@IDGAFBF]

Yes! I can't wait for the make up declutter video! It is the fact that you are not a makeup or skin care guru that makes me really like content from you about it, you are simple minimal and to the point.

[@hippiekansasgirl1632]

wow and wow. totally got a BFO (blinding flash of the obvious) in this video. at 11:39 - 'this is how i want to feel, these are my three style words, this is how i want my outfit and my clothes to reflect that feeling; what can i grab from my wardrobe that plays that role?"...it all just came together for me, and helps me understand how to work with my three style words. THANK YOU!!!!!

[@Christinamychas]

Yay!!!

[@patriciaramos6655]

This video was like having a casual conversation with a friend. Thanks Christina :)

[@Christinamychas]

🥰

[@hillerycrawford1062]

So proud of you for blogging in the wild! I cannot imagine how weird it is. I love your channel and everything you stand for. The fact that you don't hoard boxes of pr is refreshing. You really do live what you preach.

[@irisbres4516]

Yes yes yes for a makeup declutter video!! ❤

[@Pranalonna]

Your hair , eyebrows , and the KOTN clothes are fabulous!!!!! I admire learning new things. It can be so challenging. All the best with the new equipment. I am cheering you on and never expect perfection. Just bring on whatever you have.

[@myname7303]

Yes… so I slowly came to realization that I don’t need “going out” clothes in my wardrobe because I never go out to clubs, restaurants etc. if I do on very rear occasions I will build an outfit from my wardrobe based on how I want to feel…

[@suzanschneider6163]

Fun video! I like vlogs once in a while. Toronto looks lovely. Wow, you are so strong! Nice to see Jeff. Honestly, ‘how I want to feel’ is a radical concept for choosing what I’ll wear. Most always I want to feel comfortable, casual, put-together. It’s very rare that I dress up (occasion.) I’m leaning towards dressy-casual if I want to be in more than jeans and a Tshirt. Maybe it’s the time of my life. (66 y.o.) Love your channel!

[@sheianascarlett3087]

Christina you’re finally wearing dresses 👗 and skirts love this evolution in your fashion for you 🎉❤

[@gochagory]

I have been following you for a while and I am so happy that I came across your content by accident:) you are such a nice person. Your tips are spot on. I think my style still evaluates but the most important thing is that I focus on the material that my clother are made of and wear only the items I really love best regards

[@sonnychazz]

Love this vlog style from you. Don't overthink yourself or the presentation of your content - personally speaking I'm here watching you because I love your personality & the thoughtful way that you approach style (even though we have completely different style & tastes) I learn so much from you. You're so sweet & your videos are always great. I recently discovered another creator called Style Thoughts by Rita & she has developed an interesting quadrant style system based on the energy a person has. It has nothing to do with a person's size or shape- it's all about the vibe we want to embody. I found it so interesting trying to place myself using the keyword descriptors.

[@melissasardjo2069]

You look amazing in all the outfits.

[@lisacooney4458]

Thank you for highlighting a cool area and local brand and coffee spots!!

[@DrDroog29]

[@sheilarowley9721]

Love the idea of seeing more of your city & the KOTN store aesthetic looks fabulous. Great video! Your thoughts & take on ‘3words’ really resonated.

[@theresasteidl7925]

Love the video ❤ I recently discovered that my aspirational style word is ‚modern‘ which changed so much about how I view my clothes. Before I thought it was ‚classic‘ or ‚elegant‘, but in those styles I always felt too preppy. My first word is casual btw. Now it makes so much sense why so many casual outfits felt boring or too much like the ‚girl next door‘, because they where missing some modern elements. I’m glad I figured that out because now my outfits feel more like me 😊

[@christinefreeman2295]

Hey Christina ✨️ so glad you mention tibi and there concepts...so good to get down these basic edicts. You style differently of late, and now I feel I'm often surprised by your looks, which is great 🥳 and yep i enjoy your vids 💚🐨❤

[@bbellebe]

I enjoyed listening to you so much ❤️ I love this stream of consciousness 😅😉😁 I think we all need to just let things out of our mind from time to time 🙂 Praise the Lord for your video talent ❤️

[@biohazardousjazzy6118]

Your skin looks amazing

[@Lau3464l]

As a fellow Torontonian, I love seeing our city through other peoples eyes!

[@tarski7420]

Great vlog, thanks! Also loved the casual sit down chat about clothing/style/wardrobe. I’m trying to figure out a safe weight training routine that will push me but not flare up back/neck issues. How did you formulate your weight-lifting routine?

[@WeAreBullets]

yep, we had that heat wave too in new england. fun times.

[@evalindell2757]

The dresses look soo good on you! I hope you wear them a lot this summer! You look lovely with your hair up! Ltsof love from Sweden!

[@s.sflower]

What you said at the end makes so much sense. How do we want to present ourselves? I like that, thank you! And yes keep these vlog forms coming 😊

[@lyndseywilliams3618]

Love the gray set. It looks cute and comfortable.

[@laurahuddleston6285]

Excited about the makeup declutter!

[@cornishsunflower963]

Great video thanks. When I was in Toronto last year we went to Union on Ossington - amazing food! Looking forward to the declutter x

[@cecilelebourzec5678]

I love your vlogs, they are my favorites!❤Thank you for the transparency and honesty about having too much stuff, we need more of that! About style, for me it's all about going back to the basics lately😄

[@Christinamychas]

Keeping it simple is the name of the game - love it xx

[@CitrusAndCinnamon]

This was fun! Thanks for sharing. 😊

[@caitlinryder898]

Just wanted to let you know that your muscle building journey really inspired me to do the same! Thank you

[@acminkus]

I really liked your discussion of our closets as toolboxes. How do I want to feel? And what are my three words? ❤

[@ashley5701]

I agree, why is hyaluronic acid in everything? I'm allergic to it, making it so frustrating! Anyway, a great video, as always 💕

[@sd.092]

I love your vlogs! If you enjoy creating them, absolutely more please! ❤

[@melaniemcneil407]

I've loved some of the videos you and Alyssa have done on using 3 (or 3+) words to learn how to express yourself. I also have watched a few from other people. One I saw the other day gave me a lightbulb moment, so to speak, about the most important word -- how I want to feel. NOT how I want others to see me. That's a different issue altogether and not something I control. How do I want to feel? I want to feel confident, more than anything else. There are a few different elements in that, which will take me awhile to tease out, but physical comfort is one of them. Appropriateness for occasion is another. Reflecting my personality is another. So I want to feel confident, and now I can move in the direction of attaining that.

[@clarkmia9814]

This is the best justification for that purchase just in case you needed to hear that! The outfits are perfection!

[@krambul]

I really enjoyed the vlog! Looking forward to the similar easygoing style videos 😊

[@carmenlheureux5435]

More vlogs, please!☺️ Currently, I'm adding a few linen pieces; very happy about that!

[@Annaseptember1978]

Yes, more please :)

[@Kate-lo1in]

I have been using collagen for ten years. I am now sixty. I am told I don't look my age and I definitely don't feel it.

[@pinadelmonico]

Over the vlog & think ur last few vids are getting more & more helpful for styling!! Kotn seems like a great brand! And I really really love ur attitude towards clothing & personal style!❤

[@corastauber7989]

I love the Ossington area! Such a great vibe. I have the ballet dress in white. Is great to wear on cooler days not when is super hot

[@kathrynp7595]

Love your vlogs ❤

[@TatianaTaninaNo1]

Wow, that leg day looks like a killer! 🙌 great vlog, enjoyed it a lot. And thanks for featuring your fav Toronto areas. I'm getting ready for a trip to Toronto and using your thrift shops, and now this video in my prep😊

[@marianne7122]

Thanks for the great vlog. Inspiring all the ways you are claiming yourself. ❤ (I like your hair curly!)

[@lckendel1079]

The clothes all look really good, especially the set. It really suits you.

[@user-vy2vc6ih6q]

Great video! Trying to refine my three style words, just not quite there yet!

[@jaylene3332]

I just purchased the ballet dress a couple days ago! Been looking for a try on, so excited to get it!

[@Christinamychas]

It's so good! I hope you love it!

[@WeAreBullets]

the sheer dress is super cool

[@jbar234]

I have been taking a collagen supplement for a couple of now and it does help. I am in my early fifties and struggle with painful, stiff joints sometimes and my skin looks better too ❤

[@Tanya-wl3nl]

Yeah More vlogs please - love your content ❤❤ Greetings from Germany

[@lisedubois9198]

I'm just about to go back to work (where I like to look professional and sophisticated) after two years back at uni (where I enjoyed leaning more in a youthful and sexy look) and I feel like I never had the level of clarity about my wardrobe that I have now, but at the same time I'm so scared to see what will become of that clarity when it gets confronted with real life 😅

[@shannonevans2875]

Loved this! More vlogs please ❤

[@tm6408]

When you already like the look of the ballerina dress, and she tells you it has pockets!!!

[@Christinamychas]

Pockets are soooo key!

[@askaesca]

The last dress you tried on from kotn looked great!

[@beajaro4186]

The three words was an epiphany-thank you so much😃first word is harmony, but as I heard it, depends on the occasion and feeling of the day🌸the vlog is so hyggelig as we say here in Denmark😊

[@deborahjoyce591]

I was really admiring your geometric earrings for quite a few videos and I found some similar second hand gold ones. Like your kotn choices. Oh and I liked your vlog, they are fun to watch. I am refining my 3 words. Fun to experiment.

[@justinegardier935]

The white dress and the set are amazing on you !

[@Aylay08]

I love all the outfits on you. Especially the white dress looks very good on you

[@shawnnap59]

Thanks for the peek into Kotn. They've popped up in my Instagram a lot lately and I was curious.about what their pieces are like. There's one across town from me and now I'm much more inclined to go check the store out. That ballet dress looked smashing on you btw.

[@acminkus]

Watching today, this was leg day for me, too… A little smaller weights though here at home lol but I’m getting there.

[@acminkus]

Great Vlog as well. It was really interesting. (At least for me.) 😊

[@lidijazivanovic2810]

Hello Christina, I am well over 50 ( just turned 56), but I find your channel very helpful. I completely changed my wardrobe around 50 because my body is not the way it used to be ( to put it mildly 😅). But through that I really decluttered lots of my fantasy outfits, keeping the things that work with my current state of mind ( and business). Don't have any garments with patern , stipes are basic, right? Still love red , but I love simple, elegant peaces in basic, neutral colours. Lots of love from Belgrade, Serbia

[@julianafontenele]

Christina, I feel the same about makeup. I've decided some time ago to only have one of each item and even so they still expire before I'm able to use it until the end (and I wear makeup almost every day) Yikes

[@jennyjenkins877]

It's cool that you were able to visit an actual KOTN store.

[@CorinneTellier-b7y]

Thanks a lot for this really cool video, I'm glad to see more of Toronto. As for personal style, I feel like I am at a turning point lately, reinventing myself in many ways, and I struggle with how to make this work stylewise, being a bit lost between who I feel I no longer am and the dreamself that isn't me either, without getting rid of everything I own! I would love to see more vlogs on your channel, and have a request if you are looking for new topics to explore: I am truly impressed by the way you committed yourself into sport, and would be curious to know more (initial goals, current goals, successes and fails, how long you practice and how it has evolved so far (how many times a week, what kind of exercices, how you calculate your food and proteins...) since I am starting a similar journey here (here means Paris, France, so please, don"t mind my English mistakes). Thank you so much for being so inspiring :)

[@Aleatoire9]

Y’all are so cool. I’ll be heading to Ontario in August and Ossington looks adorable!!

[@Aleatoire9]

Ps I love that you’re wearing more dresses! You look good in them so hopefully you feel comfy too 😊

[@Christinamychas]

Yesss you def have to go!

[@leslin-8142]

Any recommendations for micro blading. I am in Hamilton and looking to touch up, That dress was so cute!!

[@suzanajerkovic7296]

So true about make up... ..can t use 50 things❤❤❤

[@DR-it9fm]

The collagen powder has been absolutely life changing for me, I cannot express this enough. It took like 9-12 months to START seeing results, but I have had incredibly fine/thinning hair for the better part of the last 10-15 Years and this is First time my hair has been feeling a little bit normal. I haven’t added anything else into my supplements/routine, so I can definitely attribute this change to the collagen powder usage. Now I’m religious in taking it daily, and I ven make sure to travel with it, so I don’t skip any days. I hope this helps others. 😊

[@szfrj]

That’s so interesting? Do you mind me asking if it’s bovine/ marine collagen and how much you need to take a day to make a difference for you? 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@DR-it9fm]

@@szfrj Hello - I’ve been exclusively taking the Collagen Peptides brand, unflavored, I just add the recommended amount, two scoops, with my coffee every day. The vanilla flavor is good for coffee too, but it tastes too much like powdered creamer to me and I’m not a fan of that.

[@szfrj]

@@DR-it9fm thanks for that 😊 I’ve been on and off with different supplements with my hair thinning, but I guess the only thing I haven’t tried is long term consistency 🤦🏻‍♀️ thanks!!

[@DR-it9fm]

@@szfrj I hope it helps, but yes, it’s just like diet and exercise, we gotta keep doing it for it to work, I’m speaking to myself here, lol. But now I even travel with it, so that I don’t miss a day! Hope it works for you. My hair was soooo fine, I can hold a bun with One Bobby pin all day. Like it was just tragic looking. I can genuinely feel the difference.

Little question: I know that you have been using a red light mask for a while. What is your review on it? Would recommend a specific one ? Thank you

You were brave to head out in jeans in 40 degrees! We're having those temperatures and I can't even look at my jeans! It's nothin' but linen for me, right now. 🥵

[@sadel21]

I’ve read some controversial info on collagen, so I’ve put it on the back burner for now. On another note: What stick product are you using to even out your skin tone?

[@Christinamychas]

YSL touche eclat! it's been my on and off go-to since 2015!

[@angelynfrancis3337]

omg where did you find the nivea sunscreen?! I haven't been able to find it in Toronto in months!

[@Sandra-rk4mu]

I haven’t been to Canada yet, I honestly had no idea it could reach 40 degrees there. Forgive my ignorance 😊

[@_valor]

💚💚💚

[@Lily993]

Loved the vlog! Your vlogs are always fun. Let me ask you a silly question: why do you work out just in socks? I know many people prefer a sneaker with a flat sole (myself included), but I think I’ve never seen someone working out with just socks on the feet. Sorry, I just got so curious 😂

[@paisleyhunter]

Its very much on trend to do these types of videos, which is your brand!🎉

[@skyedireen7600]

Yes! re: hyleronic acid in everything. Bummer those of us in aired climates because ha is counterproductive in such climates. Such a bummer that brands are adding it to so many things.

[@waterkress4770]

So I discovered my 3 style words and now I have an uncontrollable urge to run out and buy/replace wardrobe items to fit the words- how do I slow down?😅

[@Christinamychas]

shop that closet!

[@lckendel1079]

Enjoyed the vlog. Good length and variety. I would have liked to see a bit more of the store, but I imagine they might not want too much filming. And the weights! 😮Maybe a workout video sometime…

[@ronnie-lynn]

I envy people who wear flip flops like that out in public as footwear. I can’t do it. To me they are indoor footwear like house sandals. My ocd will now allow me to wear it as outdoor footwear (which i realize how silly that sounds) but it’s my reality. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I LOVE 9:35 this set! 😍

[@ninarigne2108]

Better have a steak than collageen powder was my expierience.

[@petravazanska5707]

I have never been a shopoholic, I always bought rather for my kids or family, and when I bought something for me, I always felt guilty. Then when all the stuff with minimalism started, I only confirmed what I thought- this was me. But then some very bad things happenned and to continue to work, and live I had to start taking antidepressants. And man, then it all started...I just wanted everything! I manage now to calm down, but its hard...I wish I could be like before where I wasnt buying..what to do..stop the pills? I dont know..

[@emilylumarion]

is it just me or does the color freak out around the 7:30 mark?

[@Christinamychas]

Haha yeah it’s my ND filter - the “sunglasses” for my camera lens
