Filming Without Makeup

*Closed captions available in the settings.* Filming Without Makeup - Week 23 of 52 - I never thought I’d do this… filming without makeup, but after missing two weekends to film a weekly vlog *just because I didn’t want to put on makeup*, I decided to just film without makeup, I didn’t want to keep letting not having makeup to stop me from filming anymore.
I remember seeing makeup videos and how many girls would start videos with showing their bare face before they start putting makeup on and I remember thinking that I could never do that… I was very insecure about how I looked without makeup… so for me to film and post this vlog is a big deal for me! But that’s how much I didn’t want to put on makeup, haha.
As I rewatched this video… I was thinking about how I wouldn’t be where I am today (or made all the changes I have made in the past year) if not for all the thinking I’ve done and how I need to make more time to think so I can go much further in life, to reach my goals & dreams.
It’s amazing how powerful a word, a sentence, a quote can shift and change the direction of our lives… “With God’s help, 2020 can still be the most amazing, productive, and fruitful year *if you change the trajectory now*”… change the trajectory and your life will change.
Thinking is hard work but that’s what leads to success. Just some thoughts to share with you guys. :)
Anyways, as always, thanks for watching and being a part of my personal vlogging journey. :) I appreciate it!

I think you just as beautiful, with or without it. You do have a natural beauty!

[@TuakBir]

That's you without makeup? Well, it's official then, you absolutely need not any makeup. 🙂

[@NATUREFORTRESS]

Your confidence helps me be more confident. Your bright spirit shines so beautifully. Thank you for being here.

[@inassh8685]

You look ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! You use make up whenever you want to.. just KNOW that you don't need to 💕

[@trackclubbabe]

you're so beautiful ash you don't even need makeup!!! ps YOU ARE MY FAVORITE KZbinR (& BABY SIS) EVER!!!!! i love you!

[@IIoveasl10]

Trust me: you don't t need any make-up. Your messages on all your videos come clear (with or without make-up). Keep up the good work! David

[@skeppyshalo8110]

you are so pretty with and without makeup i’m jealous!!

[@BroncoBillyAW]

I hope your confidence has gotten better since this time. No clue what your reason is for not feeling as confident without makeup, but from an outside perspective, you have nothing to worry about on it. Besides, beauty is more than just physical appearance. Having said that, I have zero self-image, haha. I need to learn to be comfortable with myself. I overplan a lot of things and try to let some things just be spontaneous nowadays. Hope your stress has gotten much better this year. Reading, fitness and being in the Word help me keep mine manageable. Have a blessed Friday!

Hi beauty. I recently discovered your channel, I watched the 3 beautiful interviews with your family and other videos too. Today I decided to comment because I watched your video in which you say that you will stop eating pretzels because you are stressed, and today I watched this one and I would like to give you my advice, since I am the CEO of stress. And what helps me is nothing more than planning my activities. Planning is very effective for me. It's surprising to me that planning causes you stress, but I guess that's because you're not used to doing it, so you have a lot of things to do right now, and planning what you don't have to do right now but in a near future, feels like it takes the time that you need now. So, what I would do is, take a day off, a whole day without doing anything other than creating your planner. It doesn't have to be a fancy notebook, nor do you have to do it with colors and beautiful writing. The simplest and cheapest notebook will work. First you are going to write the dates on each sheet, from today until December 31. One sheet for each day. Then, you will write your activities. I suggest you do it with pencil, so you can erase and correct. First, you write down the activities that you have to do on a daily basis, even the simplest ones like taking a shower or exercising. Although they are simple activities, you write them over and over, once per sheet. Then, the weekly activities, then the monthly ones. Make it being aware that writing is a habit that gives you peace, so enjoy all the hours you spend creating this planner. Make yourself a nice cup of tea and breathe and smile while you're doing this. This day is a relaxing day, remember that. You have nothing else to do but your planner. And when you have it, the next day you can start working on your activities. The first thing you will do every morning is see what you have to do today. Everytime you finish an activity, you put a check mark on it and move on to the next one. Doing only one activity and finishing it before starting a new one, is a habit that reduces your stress too. Doing a lot of things at the same time is very stressful, not matter what the society says (that women can do several things at the same time? bullsh. The world wants us to be stressed, but we are taking care uf us, ok?). At the end of the day, the activities that you have not been able to do, you erase them and write them again on the next day's page. Also you can write some new activities that you want to achieve, for the next day or for any other day. It's very satisfying to look at the sheet of the day that ended and realize how much you accomplished. But now the day is over, next day you turn the page and attach it to the cover of the notebook with a paper clip or whatever, so it doesn't bother you anymore. Every day you will focus only on the page of the corresponding day, the rest is either past or future but you only care about the present page (one day at a time). This planner-notebook is to keep track of your activities, nothing else. You will have another notebook in which you'll write down ideas for more detailed activities, for example your instagram posts or your videos. Forget about writing down your ideas on loose pieces of paper. If you start to having an order and control over your ideas and activities, you will see that soon you'll feel better and your stress will be significantly reduced. In your planner, always with a pencil is better, to be able to erase instead of crossing out. In your ideas notebook, you can do it with pen and messy, or whateaver way that makes you happy, but I do suggest having order with the sheets (😕 I hope I'm communicating my ideas well, english is not my first language). Sorry for my long message, hope you find it helpful. Love from Playa del Carmen, México.

[@signedwithheart]

You're so sweet to take the time to write this out, thank you. I actually just started to use a planner and omg it's life changing but I have gotten off track with using the planner so after reading your message, I need to do that tomorrow... I'm going to do that tomorrow. Thank you for the encouragement and I like the idea of putting in the daily activities in every page (which I don't yet), thank you for sharing that! :) I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts and suggestions. Have a great week. 💛

You are beautiful! Thank you for having the courage to show the world your natural beauty! God bless you.

[@whitecrow1949]

Make-up or not is a personal decision. Not that it's something I would consider. But as one with eczema and psoriasis, it's not a good idea. Sometimes our choices are about good v bad, but often it's about what's right for us individually.

[@heartofhearing2000]

Keep on marching, girl. You got this. We are right behind you. 🤟

[@richtaub]

So happy to see another posting :) Doesn't matter if you're wearing makeup or not, I'm still going to watch your videos because I enjoy the content, messages and of course the learning aspect for myself of ASL. Though I would be delinquent if I didn't say I really don't think you need the makeup and you have nothing to feel insecure about since you look really awesome in this video :) I hope from the time that this was done you did accomplish what you wanted, as in planning and getting things you felt you needed in order, so some of that stress you feel can be relieved and you can continue with staying on track for your future endeavors as you've mentioned in your synopsis. As always thanks so much for doing these, I always enjoy following your journey Stay safe and healthy Regards Rich :)

[@ks-cf9mn]

I was very happy to learn from my parents that too much make up is not natural stuff. I learned to be simple and be natural. Less worry. Your look is so natural. Be happy and less worry! ☺️☺️ ( I am deaf too and thanks to my parents).

[@dimarisvelazquez2247]

You are so beautiful. May the Lord keeps blessing you in His own special way. 🙏🏽❤🤟🏽

[@bogsy_us]

Inspiration strikes and writer's block happens, self-care is important. Take that break if you need to!

[@1locomotiveman]

And I personally think that you’re doing great!

[@ikaname4077]

YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL!!

[@LivingProcess]

I agree planning ahead is a definite must. I plan just the week every Sunday and do my main goals for the year on my birthday. And if IG is so stressing stop doing it everyday. It's that simple. And Definitely don't worry about not having makeup on You are beautiful with or without it.🌿🤟🏼💚

[@wonderingsoul9890]

You have a natural beauty about you. Both inside and out.

[@unicornmadness6286]

I know for me when I wear makeup it makes me feel better about myself and makeup brings out my features a lot. I use to have horrible skin using products especially foundation but I want to say maybe five or six years ago I found this foundation called smart shade anti aging skintone matching makeup by ALMAY and OMG times 1,000 that foundation has changed my life for the best. I use to buy foundation that was either to darn dark or to darn light for my skin but with this skintone match foundation I never have to worry that it's the wrong shade. And my skin has improved tremendously, I use to have dark spots from popping pimples and just blemish looking skin but now I don't. You should really try it out Ashley, you look GORGEOUS with or without it either way but like I said before I know it makes me feel good when I do wear it and I'm sure other women feel the same way otherwise what's the point in really wearing it, also it has SPF I believe 30 so it definitely protects from the sun. Either way whatever you choose makeup or not you look marvelously gorgeous. ❤❤❤

[@Nikioko]

You look great. With and without. So don't be afraid and keep on.

[@INeedJesus4sure]

Not to be weird or anything, but this video works really well as ASMR :) I like that you put subtitles as an option aswell. By the way you look just as beautiful without makeup. God bless you sister in Christ

[@LEWISWATSONVLOGS1]

Great channel! You are a wonderful lady! I hope you are having a nice day ❤

Stop using what makes you stressed always stay with the sunshine 🌞. Best wishes

She is so gorgeous 😍

[@michaelboucher1023]

Stumbled across your channel. Hope you are doing well. I’m divorced too, it’s no fun but bottom line we gotta keep going for our loved ones. Anyway looks like this is your last personal vlog? Hope things are doing great for you and that u are being kind to yourself.

[@m2duction135]

hey! please dont consider not working for maybe some hours as unproductive or hell on earth! You need rest, fun and some free time thats also as important as work. Its all a balance! Take it easy on you, take your time i know you had been pushed to do alot as a kid, but god also wants ease for us... Love goes out to you

[@jharper34]

No one needs to wear makeup if they do not desire. You are certainly no exception. You look great! Regarding things you can change, I remember Stephen King once wrote about the great wall of China. He pointed out that the great wall of China is a GIGANTIC man-made structure spanning a great distance. Each person working on the wall built it one brick at a time. One brick at a time eventually lead to the great wall we know today. I am sure that small changes (like Instagram as you discussed) will all add up and create a big impact for you. Thank you for sharing this video! Looking forward to the next.

[@zakbirch]

I feel like I have some of the same challenges. I have a bit of an anxious and obsessive mind and it makes it very difficult for me to accomplish things. I think it is the fear of making mistakes. Subconsciously I always feel like I am doing something wrong. I tend to feel overwhelmed and overburdened by tasks, especially those that require several steps. It's like my mind wants to take in everything all at once and then it gets stuck like an online video that is buffering because it is running at a super high resolution. Sometimes it is better to run at a lower resolution, to bravely put one foot in front of another without having to convince yourself though over analysis of thought that everything you are doing is perfect. Imperfection is beautiful because it is honest, creative, and you. Sorry if I took liberties assuming things about you. I just know that I struggle with this because I have OCD and social phobia. Fear can make life really difficult. I have realized that I can make good (not perfect) decisions without having to appease my fears by constantly thinking too much. Good luck :)

[@SiameseDream97]

this is so calm for me.

[@AlejandroHernandez-bc6bu]

You look amazing!

[@J9Dalton]

You look SO BEAUTIFUL without makeup!

[@deanfromromania]

I in total agreement with all the comments about you not needing makeup. Natural beauty comes from within. And, The Holy Spirit doesn't hurt either.

[@orestesdelgado4372]

alright she goes to doing okay no problem, no stress plenty time,, are you full job? and training to learning go head,, i cheer you very much,, ashley!

[@superlbc]

And much better this way!

[@MiqelDotCom]

Don't even worry, you look fantastic either way!

[@SheilaghRiordan]

You are GORGEOUS without makeup

[@ccchhhrrriiisss100]

Thank you for sharing. As a man, I prefer no makeup anyway. I don't judge any women who choose to wear it; however, I would rather see natural blemishes than something artificial. Real beauty is not skin deep (and neither is attraction for that matter). Strong relationships are more of a merging of souls anyway. Thank you for all of the wonderful videos. I'm learning how to sign and these have been very helpful. Thanks! Jeremiah 29:11-13.

[@SmoKeYJoE024]

You're beautiful Ashley. You don't need the makeup. ❤

[@THExRISER]

There's barely any difference, you look great.

[@Starcrash6984]

I love your vlogs, mainly because you re-state the same thing over and over again. It's good practice for those of us trying to read your signs.

[@rubenvilla2224]

This may be a strange thing to comment but here goes. As a guy, I generally really enjoy seeing women without make up. Maybe its because its so rare that I see it. Maybe its as a result of my Christian faith. All I know is that there is something about the authenticity and confidence of seeing a woman go without make up that shows character and beauty as well. I know that women could use makeup to hide "imperfections" and use it as a sort of mask and we as a society seem to encourage that; but it should not be the case. I hope that more women have more confidence to do what you did in this video. Thank you for your vlogs. I look forward to seeing more in the near future.

[@kolawolegbolahan935]

It's not strange at all... I want to see you - no makeup, no hair extensions - YOU I find it hard to even compliment someone as beautiful when in the real sense, It's a compliment of their skill with their makeup set

[@AlejandroHernandez-bc6bu]

You look amazing.

[@TheEyesOfNye]

You probably answered this many times but what is it like in your head to read words? In my head (I am a hearing person) when I read words I hear the sound of the word and I cannot comprehend what it would be like to read without hearing the words in my head.

[@ryszardbargiel7256]

The deaf woman where I work (also an instagram poster) wears make-up but I wish she knew she didn't need to as well. You both look beautiful without it. My suggestion, more exercise. Cardio and strength. Skip breakfast and start with exercise. Thinking will be easier. More energy. Mind and body go together.

[@melanie7229]

Beautiful 😍🤗

[@urbanlegendsandtrivia2023]

You don't need any makeup, and it's nice to see you wear a different color outfit for a change of pace too.

I have to say nobody can force ANYONE to post to social media!

Regardless u r beautiful. I need to work on my sighing. I forgot so much. Im going through hard times

[@RoyLagpacan]

Who said you needed make-up in the first place?

[@RandallMRueff-ot7sp]

Women look better without make-up, jewelry and tattoos, you are a good example of that. Good day & God Bless...

[@ShreksSpliff]

Absolutely, no make up is always more wholesome. Make up covers up insecurities, so without it you might be able to listen to yourself more.

[@aistegmcmnokbnsjakniunaite5761]

Why are you trying to do things that are so stressful for you? You should aim for things that you are enjoying, the things that are natural to your personality. Why are you trying to make everything so hard? Maybe looking inside and observing the things you love to do will make your journey easier and more fruitfull. :)

[@llauren4173]

Nothing beautifully than naturality so I think you don't need makeup "ever" Quote from Dr Charles Stanley We can be tired, weary and emotionally distraught, but after spending time alone with God, we find that He injects into our bodies energy, power and strength.
