Noooo not YL! 😣 Still love your channel and I love essential oils but I just can’t support the MLM structure.

[@michellejohansen6281]

I love all of your DITL, but this one seemed extra special, I just love how I feel after I watch your channel ♡

[@kendraatkins]

that makes me so happy to hear :)

[@evamatheson7624]

Hi Kendra, I read a comment from xo xo. She suggested researching Young Living. I googled it and I was surprised that they are still in business. I’d love your thoughts on this.

[@xoxo7630]

please do some real research on YL, the product and especially the company. sorry but it's complete bs.

[@evamatheson7624]

xo xo I just googled young living and was surprised that this company is still operating. I think Kendra needs to look a little closer at this company. I could be wrong but I don’t think she supports Multi level marketing. Also the founders history is appalling.

[@xoxo7630]

@@evamatheson7624 it's sickening! well if she supports them, she does support MLMs-- which are scams and predatory and just disgusting.

[@katelynb9916]

Thank you! The number of people that still use Young Living blows my mind. Just a quick Google search into the founder was enough for me to be completely turned off.

jennifer stewart why are you wasting your time with negativity on her videos if you’re not a fan? The world needs love right now... not your hate.

The bookshelves and the mantel look beautiful! It really brightens up the room! I appreciate you talking so openly about what is going on in the world. You are a wonderful mother, Kendra! Sending you so much love and hugs! ❤️🤗

[@kendraatkins]

Aw thank you for your comment. Means a lot to me. Lot's of negativity in the world right now, hoping we can spread more light and love. And glad you like the renovations!!

[@lilysgram5886]

The cabinets and mantel look fantastic. Love that you added lights. It’s a rainy, dreary day here in FL ( we need the rain) and when I saw your vlog I was so happy. Got my hair colored and cut yesterday and it made me feel so much better! Love what you said about how we should treat others.

[@kendraatkins]

so glad you like how they turned out! and yes to the haircut! I finally got an appointment in a few weeks, so excited!

[@susanedwards3502]

That’s why I follow you mainly because you are so real and genuine. You are raising wonderful children but also give your parents credit for how they raised you and Andrew! ❤️💙🎀🎀👏👏👏

[@paisleyrogers]

Great realistic day in the life, thanks for sharing. Disappointed to see you to jump on the YL bandwagon, seems as though as all the KZbin influencers are selling young living. 😕

[@yokotoyama]

I think because some of the commenters were recommending it, she trusted it without really looking into it properly.

[@lucyfriday1662]

Hi Kendra, love your channel... always feel relaxed after watching ( kinda like chilling with a friend) would be great to see an update on what the girls are into toy update etc xx much love x

[@kendraatkins]

JUST posted that on my blog today, how weird!! Withkendra.com

[@AP-fr4pl]

I also wanted to thank you..your channel is a place of calm and is so uplifting. I truly feel like I’m watching a friends video when I watch ❤️ thanks for being a light and bringing comfort. It’s not easy living let alone parenting in times like these. Ps- your new bookcases look darling 💕

[@juanastx]

I like how you Are positive instead of just talking about being positive- so much negativity nowadays You stand out

[@jaimeOZ]

Kinda bummed to see the MLM content. Seems to be infesting the youtube and insta community lately. Hopefully that content will be mostly based on your wellness insta.

[@marchellemerlene]

Your message about everything that’s going on was very profound and appreciated.

[@elizabethgrimm7435]

I love these videos. I have been following this channel since right before the girls were born. Watching DITL is like catching up with an old friend and in times like these it is so comforting. Thanks for sharing your life and thoughts with us!

Thanks for watching! 💗

[@chloewolhuter5191]

The new cabinets look great, love the decor! I am new to your channel and I too have twins, a boy and girl just over a year. I just want to say your channel has really helped with getting on a schedule and so on, I was really struggling before but you've been such a life saver, thank you! I love your channel and your family!

[@christianchaddock385]

Some great social comments here! I love that you listened to the responses you got from your posts about the current situation and that we should value everyone for their differences and backrounds instead of trying to see everyone the same. As a Mom I totally agree we have a one of the most important jobs out there it raise good, kind humans

[@kendraatkins]

It's sad that social media is becoming a place where everyone feels they can attack someones character. Hoping to stay positive.

Just because I know you are into healthy eating, I thought you'd appreciate the tip to check the back of baby fruit/veg pouches and only choose the ones that have 5g or less of sugars. I find it a great guideline to follow if I am picking them up x

@@kendraatkins haha I don't have a ton as we have free rein to do what we think looks nice. We decorate in Lifestyles such as Farmhouse, Mid Century, Coastal. Etc. We also have to use what the company provides so there is some limitation. The shelveslook amazing! We carry those mirrors actually as well and they are the WORST to hang haha

[@mindy9756]

I feel like the people that are anti YL haven’t used the products. I like the skin care, shampoo, supplements, sunscreen, wipes, diaper rash cream, hand soap...etc so many awesome products. Even the granola is yummy and my toddler likes Ningxia. Get on the shipping subscription. It’s like Amazon Prime where you pay a yearly fee but then you don’t have to pay for shipping on your ER orders.

Swimming lessons! I cannot get over how various states in the US are just going back to normal during the pandemic 🤯 I'm hopeful that here in Canada we will gradually get back to regular life but it feels so weird to be locked up when others are out like nothing happened.

[@kbray8493]

Yes, I’m in Australia and we’ve had very few cases of corona virus. We have just 3 active cases in my state. Yet swimming lessons restarting is at least a month away, possibly longer. Can’t believe you’re doing swimming lessons already in the US.

Hi Kendra, loved what you did to your living room. My husband and I are getting some quotes to built something similar to yours. I was just wondering why you didn't chose to built all the way to the ceiling. Maybe it is just your preference.

[@kendraatkins]

Yes so much harder to get things done. And since I always have the girls, it’s not like they are all always asleep at the same time. So when they were little and it was just them, it was more scheduled.

[@CrownedLily]

My mother's best friend from childhood is black. I grew up with her kids. They are my cousins. I never saw them as different. My first time experiencing anything remotely close to racist was when I was in pre--school I was sick and being sent home. My parents where both stuck at work so they asked my aunt (my mom's best friend) to pick me up. I was excited to see her and even called her "Auntie" but they still wouldn't let me leave with her because of her skin color. I'm kind of sick of color being an issue. I hate reading "a black man" or "White man" Why not just a man? Why can't we all just be color blind?

[@kendraatkins]

Yes kids have pure hearts. I too wish we could be more accepting of all. Thanks for sharing 💗💗

[@treyjoyner7768]

Oh Kendra, you look so very beautiful. I saw the Young Living oils on "Amy Lynn Sattler" and "Simply Allie". I can't believe Owen is almost a year old like Elliana from "Jessica Elle" is already a year old. Your twin daughters have to take their swimming lessons whether they want to or not. That's why it's a must-do situation for them. I chose Missy Franklin for an example. She got professional for swimming. And better yet, she won her golden metals on NBC's "Olympic Summer Games", live from London, England, in 2012. The more your daughters learn how to swim, the better they are. I spotted your organic ketchup that comes in your labeled squeeze bottle. Your organic ketchup is an alternative to Hunt's traditional ketchup. I love to moderately squeeze French's mustard and Hunt's ketchup out of my "16-oz." OXO squeeze bottles. On the 2nd week of June, I'll ride on the roads to get off my house property. I'm still quarantined. By the way, excellent vlog! 😃💗😃💗😃💗
