Can we get into my makeup 🤭 oh and I curse during the video yall so don’t watch around your kidssss

[@sophierella3323]

Clean girl makeup 😍😍

[@NotKekePalmer]

It looks incredible.The soft edges too?? Okay, okay🤭🤭

[@paulaomusic]

Glowing insaneeeee i love it you're the prettiest

[@bjw1446]

what makeup????

[@curlytisha4375]

Your make up looks beautiful! I love your decor as well green is my fave colour as well 💚

[@nyasajackson]

You saying “the person I chose to have a child with” just blew my mind. I feel like I don’t hear people say that enough. Bravo Arnell 🎉

[@cairambelu]

I liked the lack of background music, I felt like it was more like a conversation vs just a video 🫶🏽 Thank you for constantly trying new things and always moving forward in content with the quality ! ✨✨

[@arnellarmon]

Same! I think I’m going to do this more often and thank you ❤️

[@bryanna_95]

I think it adds to the podcast vibes ❤

[@grassyshock]

Yes felt like a Ft call with a friend lol

[@bajanbreezy]

Same

As a single mom with a four year old son, in the early stages I searched for videos of other moms who had a similar experience in pregnancy.Navigating not only being a new mom but a newly single woman is not easy.I wanted to feel like I wasn’t alone.Thanks for sharing your story and being so positive! I know you are helping other moms out there regain their strength.

[@bmarie893]

I love that she took accountability but also addressed that she's thankful. It's a weird space to be in, I relate to that experience so much.

[@NotKekePalmer]

Ahhh hiii. This camera lens and focus combo you've been feeding us with? It's SICKENINGGG

[@arnellarmon]

Thank youuuuu 🤭

[@Lovelynene899]

"Well I'm nice, what excuses were made for me." 24:25 LMFAOOOOOOOO and it's nothing but the truth and amennnnnn.

[@itsroween]

I completely understand the redo. I’m married with 3 kids and still kinda want a redo. If you get the opportunity….get your redo girl.

[@arnellarmon]

Okay thanks for getting what I was trying to say! I didn’t want it to come off wrong

[@ytl7750]

As in you want a divorce? I’m confused on the redo part

[@itsroween]

@@ytl7750 for me it wasn’t the man it was more so the process and how everything played out. But I understand her wanting a redo because she couldn’t have the experience she wanted.

[@shaavapacheco8916]

Your answer to the second question relates to me and I’m not even a mom. But realizing when someone is hurting you and then realize u need to have boundaries. I never had boundaries before however NOW ! Tuh please. I love how ur advice speaks to any and every walk of life

[@sashamatamoros2365]

Arnell I’m so IMPRESSED WITH YOUR GROWTH it makes me want to cry 😢😢😢😢😢… it’s awesome to see a woman who knows her WORTH ❤ KEEP DOING WHAT YOUR DOING STAY FOCUS AND ALWAYS CONTINUE TO PROTECT YOUR HEART , MIND ,and SOUL 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽your such a beautiful mom with NOAH and motherhood is definitely something that is normal to you .. sending LOVE AND LIGHT 🥰🥰🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@NarcissisticAtreya]

I love your transparency! I'm so sorry that you had to experience this. I also love that you didn't add music to this video.

[@igradin08]

Tell me you were in a relationship with a Narcissist without telling me you were in a relationship with a narcissist! I can totally relate. I had an ex friend who was nuts and an emotional bully. They love the pull and tug. Once you get out you can spot those signs a mile away! I’m soooo proud of your growth and transparency! You give me the courage to speak about my experience.

[@stephanie1c]

It feels SOOO GOOD to protect yourself finally and to KNOW that it’s the only option. I am honestly so happy hearing that come from you Arnell you deserve more than the world, I just see and feel your genuineness

[@theescorpioo1004]

The journey gets hard, boring, lonely and etc but if your intentions ARE pure, Life gets better for you! Sooo truthfully stated!

[@essenceofautieanna635]

I wish I could hug you through the screen sis, I pray that next man be your best man and that God continues to heal and bless you and baby Noah. You're Deserving of great things. 💐❤️❤️❤️

[@pierdrakes5498]

Amen

[@marizzioo96]

Girl I totally feel wanting the redo. I have a 10 year old for whom I’m forever thankful for but that pregnancy was rough, traumatic and I was scared to ever have to put myself into that position again. I now have a 18 month baby girl and my experience with her was the complete opposite, such a wonderful experience thanks to my hubby. I’m confident you’ll get your redo one day, you deserve it. Wish you and Noah the best ❤

[@prettyface_vee]

This video came at the perfect time 🥹I’m due in October and it’s been a roller coaster. I’ve realized that during this major physical and mental transition, you discover yourself in a different light. Your tolerance for bs diminishes and you change for the best version of yourself for you and your baby. I say all this to say you’re doing your big one love and you are an inspiration 🫶🏾

[@attimesava1596]

I love that you’re opening up and keeping it real about what happened in the relationship and what you learned. I know it has fallen in the wrong hands before but just know your true supporters are here for you and don’t judge you

[@laydbakgirl7432]

"OH but he's nice, IM NICE" I felt that shit! Yessss baby girl, keep that energy forever! And this goes for ALL THE BABES. Don't take no shit. Periodt

[@jailkaetienne]

So relatable with the person I chose to have a child with and them making my pregnancy/new motherhood experience as miserable as possible. Sending love and support your way ❤❤❤❤

[@WhenSaraiSpeaksUListen]

I totally feel you on the not being scared to speak up and centering yourself. I really been loving these videos

[@motselisisekonyela8587]

I can listen to you speak all day!😍 looking forward to that podcast 🎉🎉

[@GeminiGemini-y5t]

Babes we miss you !! And we love you!!

[@arnellarmon]

I’m currently so sick and so is Noah 😭 but gonna try to get another video up this week

[@chinaleranda]

@@arnellarmonpraying you guys have a speedy recovery 🙏🏽❤️

[@amberdb04]

Get well soon ​@@arnellarmon & baby Noah ❤️🙏🏽

[@Beebz108]

I pray you get all that you desire Arnell! You are worthy of all the good things this life has to offer. Excited to see what you will receive in the future ❤

[@saraynavarro5718]

We love you Arnell!! 🤍 love to see you happy and glowing and how person this was. The no background music makes this feel like a FaceTime call. ☺️

[@user1b2p3]

You have articulated exactly what I felt about motherhood in the first year!!

[@jessmq3772]

At your core Arnell, I can see you have such a beautiful spirit. Ive watched your channel for a while, and it was one thing that always stuck out to me about you. God is going to do great things through you, stay close to Him and just wait and see ❤🙏🏾

[@tiffanygossett3447]

Makeup was on point and liked the no background music…it felt like you were here in my house 😆. Love how you are parenting Noah and you deserve better in a relationship. ❤😘

[@salinacuffy6064]

You have growth mentally and spiritually and it shows. I love this and I love you! Shine bright sis! ❤✨

[@LifeWithLariss]

i love the vulnerability of this video, you're truly authentic!!! XO I wish you and your son love and peace

[@Simplyflawlesss]

Love that your growing & glowing into your true self! Being able to watch you thrive is everythinggg! Stay blessed girly 💕

[@destinymoriah]

Not even halfway through the video and i resonate so much with what you are saying. I’m not a mother yet but i definitely connect with being overprotective of myself. Setting boundaries and moving accordingly!!

[@laurenmorgan1416]

Congrats to you and your healing. I went through a similar situation with my oldest daughter father. He made me miserable during my pregnancy ,etc. Im now remarried and had 2 more kids with my dream husband and he loves my oldest as his own. In reflection, i realized my 1st situation prepared me for handling life situations. Sidenote:You look gorgeous per usual . Keep glowing from the inside out babe 😊

[@cierranorris444]

I just realized after watching you for so long, how you speak now! I love that you’re taking your time to think about exactly what you want to say and how you want to deliver the thought. I noticed you speak much more calmly. It makes me feel so relaxed lol especially this videos vibe

[@aaliyahsymone7663]

Arnelllllllll like why u giving us hell like this?! I went through some crazy stuff with my ex husband & when I tell I feel EVERYTHING u said. Dating outta desperation, being in a more protective space now, the toxicity of being with someone who u feel like intentionally wants to make u feel bad. I feel it’s literally ME talking because this is EXACTLY how I felt & still FEEL. & is definitely what I went through. Good to know I’m not alone because for a long time I was so embarrassed. Love this.

[@DeeDeeLofton]

I can never understand how a parent, especially a father, can mistreat the woman carrying their child. Literally bringing life / their seed into the world. God bless you Arnell for doing what so many other mothers have to do

[@ashlig7575]

First off, love this style of video and so excited for the podcast but on another note I felt this. It was scary to finish your sentences while watching because I realize I’m on the same journey, feeling the same feels and tired of making the excuses. I appreciate you sharing your story because honestly its brought light to my own. Truly inspirational, thank you for this.

[@liibrahofficial]

I Love How Honest You Are When Answering The Questions And Not Sugar Coating Them ... You Are Blessed And Strong Mama Keep It Up ❤❤

[@shakararolle836]

I’m happy for all your growth Arnell! I’m currently setting boundaries in my own life and can relate to A LOT of what you’re saying.

[@ayabas2520]

ohhhhh arnelllll🫶🏽 your transparency is beautiful and you’re doing amazing. we’re so proud of you!

[@lisadawson2652]

Wow you are incredible your wisdom and growth is sooo valuable I’m happy and proud of you ❤❤❤

[@_Tiffany_Michelle]

Super proud of you!! You're doing an amazing job carrying it all!! 🤍

[@honeyxaj5587]

6 minutes in and omg Arnell you are so strong. i admire you.

[@VanessaKankam]

Im so here for this new arnelle! yes girl Your strength and boundaries are beautiful, don't let anyone every step on you again !!

[@watchmeglow6095]

Sometimes your biggest hater is your BD lmao i don’t even want more kids because of my experience as a first mom but i am open to experiencing something better with someone new. I won’t lie i love my daughter she is my life line!! But the responsibility of being a single mom ain’t for the weak. And i am scared to find myself in the same situation 😩 but like i said im not gonna let my fears completely get in the way so I’m staying open to whatever the future holds!! ❤

[@ugon2988]

Ooop a podcast is coming?? I'm ready! These chit chats have become some of my favorite types of videos from you

[@anikarisortiz6021]

this was so validating. thank you thank you for sharing your experiences❤ it’s sad, but comforting to know i’m not alone in the things i’ve struggled with.

[@heyitsjujuu]

So inspirational to be hurting but having to care for your child. A true Queen. I felt like my parents helped me so much postpartum. My son is older now and I'm starting to open up to dating this year. Online dating is crazy

[@Vivi-Price]

Knowing that this was practice for your podcast, it didn’t feel like it at all. You are so eloquent in your answers and I feel like I could listen to you talk for hours. Excited for the new things that you have coming. Thank you for taking us on this journey with you and I love being apart of the Babes group chat💕

[@TheEpitomeofKeys]

I enjoy hearing your perspective on things we all live through, it’s like a breath of fresh air 🥰 can’t wait for your podcast! 🤍

[@desireedanielle6349]

Girl your skin looks amazing

[@paulaomusic]

Arnell!!! Ughh i love when you upload!! That make up looks AMAZING!! You always do the most💖💖💖 love it

[@arnellarmon]

Thank you so much! 🩷

[@varietiesbyshamyra]

That last question was so thoughtful 🥰. For me, no background music makes the video more personal and meaningful.

[@taylorjones7939]

You probably won’t see this comment but Im a new mom of a 9 month old boy and I had the same exact experience with my pregnancy/birth/motherhood experience and this video really brought me on the verge of tears bc I feel so seen and understood bc I don’t really have anyone to talk to. I have been watching you for maybe 7 years now ? And I am so proud of you and your accomplishments! Keep pushing, we got this! ❤

[@AbundantlyyAshley]

I’ve been following you on IG but just now getting to your videos. Your transparency is ADMIRABLE. So happy I finally watched 💜👏🏾

[@mshaitiansensation]

You was *SPITTiN* in this Video!! I’m newly single from being engaged to a possible Narc & I don’t date out of desperation anymore eitha.

[@danitav23]

When I saw the notification that you uploaded..Why did I smile and stop everything I was doing to watch your vid? I love it here 💚

[@impeccablyfitt3939]

Me too….

[@charismapruitt4377]

I’m glad you are talking about this and talking about starting a podcast!!💓 I went through similar things as a new mom in the beginning with my ex partner. It does effect your experience, but its still a blessing to have my baby

[@nonkeshabangu]

I 100% relate to this video ,I always say do over cause my 1st pregnancy boy I went through it so I’m really hoping and praying that the day I decided to have another baby it’s smooth sailing 😊

[@eanne95]

wow i resonate with this experience so much, thank you for sharing ❤ Sending you peace & love

[@dasiastennett]

Thank you for your transparency, you’re doing the right thing by sharing your story. ❤ TOO MANY women have been through this and are currently going through this exact situation and don’t know what to do or how to feel. Unless you’ve experienced narcissistic, ab*se you’ll never completely understand how bad that can change a person especially when a child’s safety is involved. Protect your baby and don’t everrr feel bad for it. Them “in-laws” never see any wrong in that man until he turns on them too.

[@khanyikoetsi98]

Thank you for the new mom advice,expecting my little one this Nov❤

[@arnellarmon]

Congrats!!! Praying for a smooth delivery 🩷

[@PanamaBeauty17]

Ma'am -- THIS!!! I have always loved your content, but when you said, "I'm nice too!" Like, did we just become best friends, lol. Dating with the mindset of abundance versus scarcity is a blessing - stay firm in your convictions and honor your discernment. Hands down my favorite part of the video 🙌🏾 Blessings to you and Noah ❤❤

[@byshavonnedanae]

Love your video setup! So aesthetically pleasing. Also you’re glowing! 😊 great video.

[@sierrawhite1293]

I have to say that you, Raven Elyse, Aaliyah Jay and Dearra are my fave content creators. Yalls content is always evolving and entertaining but also authentic to who you guys are. I just feel good when watching it. And that question about being a twin is weird lol. I agree I would never bash someone I love or care about online or otherwise because that's opening the door for other people to be hateful towards them and that's a no no 💚

[@TheKeyIsKeey]

Missed you! I’m in the gc! 🥰 Proud of your growth from the last several years. Your spirit hasn’t changed but you have evolved as a woman! Always do what’s best for you! You will get your redo! 🩵💙

[@LeveretPryce]

Can you please do more videos on how to glue tracks on your natural hair

[@anetia8889]

I needed this so bad, so much at this stage in my life rn. I am so proud of you and so happy watching you flourish over time. Keep being THAT GIRL 🩷 Babes Chat girly here✨

[@denisesayles3144]

I’m so very proud of you keep doing what you’re doing Love you

[@aasiyah.jmalik5846]

Your podcast is gonna be 🔥!!! You're so relatable and insightful. I can't wait!!!!

[@lamodelosilve]

I agree with you 100% I started doing that last year cutting people off and choosing myself and I’ve been more at peace ever since lonely as hell but oh well 😢💚💚

[@MsNetouu]

I love this. Thanks being so transparent with everything that's going on in your life. Motherhood looks good on. P.S. was binging on your videos this past weekend and I really enjoyed your fragrance collection vids. Would love to see more of that or an updated version . Thank you.❤❤

[@jalinxalizah]

I love your transparency in this! I'm not a mom yet but I always pray that when I have kids I choose the right person, because Lord knows I couldn't handle the type of stress the wrong partner can put on you during pregnancy. I'm so sorry you went through that. And my brother and I were the same way 🤣 he would get sooo mad if I was beating him and would turn the game off lmaooo

[@notanenemy]

Hey Arnell! When my friend was pregnant she had to use cat hormone wall plug-ins because of her cat's change in behavior. I don't know if you tried those before but I figured to mention it to you in case you wanted to try it to avoid rehoming your fur baby!

[@nellaustin9381]

So proud of you! Keep going!!! Keep going!!! 💪🏾

[@gigilina1782]

arnell you’re preachinggggggg

[@odoblackstar]

I love everything you said I empathise with you. We deserve better as people especially when we know that we are kind and helpful. I’m sure you will experience this again in a healthier context. I wish you the best

[@qianayvonne]

Can’t wait for your podcast! Loved the video 🤍

[@tytaneful]

I’m agree for the negative time during pregnancy because of the father I was at the same place with the father and his family😢😖hard time but my baby bring me happiness during this time🙏🏾🥰. Thank you toshare your experience with us😊

[@Craft.Sleep.Repeat]

Sometimes I wish I could do a redo but it just isn’t in the cards for me. Postpartum depression really stole the joy of my son’s infancy 😢 You are killing it though and make it look so easy. Great job mama! 🎉

[@destinyryhan5545]

Ahhhh. The only person I care to watch! We’ve missed you 💚

[@EmmaFloriant]

We have so much in common , I love watching your videos

[@tayway2225]

WOW!! You’ve come so far I’m glad your speaking on this it will help so many women ❤️❤️

[@bryanna_95]

I can listen to Arnell for 7 years straight lol love long viddos🫶🏾

[@callmemonaTV]

I needed to hear the dating out of desperation part 💕

[@pretty-lb2qx]

Can't wait for the podcast love these talking videos

[@ivannarandall2102]

I love your q&a videos so much also the camera quality is immaculate !!

[@sheia3428]

This was great!!! I think you’d excel at having a podcast….cant wait. I’ve been a fan forever of both u and ur sister (not realizing there was two of u lol). I too am a twin. I don’t think they mean it like list the negatives about ur twin. More so like its annoying when ppl….or when ppl assume…about being twins. I don’t believe Alyssa would be upset or take it personally even if….u two could do a video together pros/cons of being a twin. I love when u two collab❤❤ Its amazing to see ur growth

[@EverythingPretty_]

I haven’t been able to keep up with any of my fav youtubers like I used to before I became a mom. I can totally relate to the issue you are having with Cactus as far as having to re-home him. I had 3 pets, a dog & two cats. Before I gave birth my dog was already really old & blind so 9 times out of 10 he wasn’t making it to the wee wee pads & he would pee & doo every where, he also didn’t like going outside any more. My small cat began pissing on my furniture & other random places it was a lot especially after giving birth I didn’t have the capacity to deal with it all especially being a new mom at the time so after months of battling with myself on what to do I took both of them to the shelter. I put my dog to sleep😢 & put the small cat up for adoption she was 4yrs old ( she was given a new home within two weeks 😊). I cried & was down bad emotionally the next days but I knew I couldn’t be my best self or the mom my daughter need me to be with all that going on. I still kept the oldest cat he is fine. Him (Codi) & my daughter are best friends although she boss him around all the time lol. Sorry you are experiencing these issues with Cactus 😕 it’s just not a good time at all. On the other hand I love the space you are in right now it’s so refreshing to watch. I have always been the one to also make excuses for people but not anymore as of last year. It doesn’t matter who you are come correct or I will remove you period it is just that simple. I am not dealing with anyone’s bad energy & idc what you think of me bc I know who I am & I now know who you are & I just move accordingly. I am looking forward to the pod! Yess 👏🏾👏🏾💚

[@cestevey]

I love this video so much, listening to you speak was so convicting bc I feel I’ve been letting people stretch my boundaries lately

[@alaveia3899]

OMG I LOVE HEARING YOU TALK, I’m so happy for you and this podcast

[@tebellotshabalala5635]

Thoroughly enjoyed watching this.❤

[@MsCandyCane08]

Our sons are close in age. And let me tell u ladies motherhood is no joke! Take your time! ❤

[@ceejay3615]

I can’t wait for your podcast!!! I hope it’s free!!

[@cheyy3133]

I'm in the same situation. Love this video girl. I am so protective over my daughter. Being a twin also, ppl tend to make comparisons character wise, looks wise, personality etc, definitely gets annoying

[@autumngullick4513]

Listening to this about the new mom experience is soooo healing because that was my experience but I was married. We just broke up almost a year ago now and I'm still extremely broken. I miss being a "family" but I don't miss being so mistreated. I feel so robbed because my son is now 4 years old and I was sooooo stressed and anxiety ridden that I missed the baby stage... I really pray god can give me strength to move on with someone else.

[@takaralew4844]

Girl we had very similar experiences with being a 1st time mom

[@phylicia_nicolee]

I said the same. I’m like did we have a kid with the same man 😂

[@hannahprettybomb__4339]

I’m so proud of you for being so mature about these situations 🙌🏽🫶🏽 I love it…also thank you I really needed to hear this. “Protect yourself and set boundaries “!!!

[@Niamba101]

Thank you Arnell love watching and you give just wonderful advice wish my 25 year old self knew you 🥰🥰🥰

[@ms.angiesworld8696]

I love and appreciate your authenticity!❤

[@Torieollivette]

Thank ❤you for sharing your story This was very similar to me. I love that you are strong and God has blessed you with the discernment and wisdom to know when someone is not correct. I’m happy you didn’t allow him to mess you your experience on Earth❤ Keep being pure and beautiful. You got this
