FULL GLAM GRWM 😬 not sure about this foundation eek

[@sahanagabriel]

That glue and scissor moment is legit how we’re all trying to navigate life right now

[@danahbanana]

So. Freaking. True.

[@mariathemakeupambulance]

Feels

[@meagantixier9446]

Love you Shaan!!! Everything that Porter is doing is developmentally appropriate for his age! Hang in there mama, he will grow out of it just keep calm and patient. Love the makeup ❤

[@jobutler-mills5142]

After I watched part one. It gave me motivation to do the similar things to make myself feel better! Thank you for being you!

[@worthyyou923]

Same here! I’m in the bath with a face mask on!!!

[@sabrinaspeer8890]

I'm so glad you're doing self care, and not ashamed of what it is. Self care looks different for everyone. Beauty and skincare has always been mine. It's ritualistic, artistic, very therapeutic for me. You go momma!

[@BlindBabeBeth]

When I'm feeling down, I crank my music up and sing my heart out. It's like screaming, but less manic. Still cathartic. 💕

[@love4ladybird]

I have a dance class once a week that literally saves me. I sometimes get real low and it helps get me moving and brings up my serotonin. I also try to give myself a day where i get completely done up, even if I don't go anywhere special. Just makes me feel better.

[@cheribarnes5591]

The scissors snapping gave me a good laugh, so glad you're taking time for yourself and doing things that make you feel good about yourself! You've inspired me to take a walk this afternoon. Stay well xoxo

[@Dana66666]

Always need a self care day, hope the cold goes away soon. For the nail glue on the sissors, I found that to use acetone works, as I've done that before.

[@ariplazanin2027]

So happy to see you prioritising some self care. So important for all, especially new mums and especially after being unwell. Similar situation with me, had Covid, then a month later Bells Palsy which was scary and obviously takes a few months to resolve, then heart palpitations and then viral arthritis when all my joints just ceased up. And chronic fatigue during this whole time!!! Pretty much have been seeing my dr weekly for the last 12 months. So difficult for one to maintain a positive mindset but so essential. Do what feels good, hopefully you are on the mend now and will bounce back more beautiful than ever. Love your videos.

[@susielee5634]

Your honesty is so refreshing! Keep up the good work & keep smiling!!

[@joylux949]

I felt this in my soul. I have a 14 month old and I’m 29 weeks pregnant. Hang in there gf, and do whatever feels good when you have the energy. I like to read and try to make new recipes when I don’t feel like getting myself ready. Sometimes laying on the couch is all it takes 😂😂

[@mooooooooorrt]

Yes i want to see the dice please. Feel better and no apology for not uploading ❤

[@julieartzpdx]

Something that makes me feel loads better is getting a super fun, light read on my Kindle. Could be a fun short romance novel or thriller - it really helps to make my mind feel a little more active and I end up feeling less "blah"!

[@Nyasziah]

You look soooo stunningggg... I'm OBSESSED! Girl, don't be ashamed to tell us how you feel when sitting down to film if this makes you happy. We're happy watching whatever you upload and support you 10000%

[@kerriwright4593]

Beauty stuff helps me feel better too. I like to do masking in particular. A long shower with a hair mask and face mask and shaving and exfoliating then more face masks and skincare once I'm out of the shower. I wanna use my skincare tools more often. I have a bunch that I barely ever use.

[@Flowerchyld222]

I’m due with my 2nd baby end of July and have a 19 month old…something that picks me up when I’m down is literally just a long shower to exfoliate, shave and wash my hair lol. With fresh skin and hair I feel like a whole new mama. I love watching your content Shan! Please keep giving us the honest and real working mama that you are, it’s my fav version of you ever since lioele bb cream and mac snob days😂 🥰🫶🏼🌻

[@becomingsophiesceliaclife]

I have a compromised immune system because of multiple autoimmune diseases and I used to get sick constantly but then I started putting elderberry syrup in my tea and sometimes taking elderberry supplements which has helped tremendously. I don't get sick as often and when I do it only lasts a few days versus before elderberry it took me a month or more to recover from even a basic cold, a virus would knock me down for 3 months. For my severe anxiety, panic attacks and 3 forms of PTSD I cope with painting either free-hand or paint by numbers, super relaxing. Another thing that helps is deep cleaning/organizing because clutter really sets off my anxiety. I also write a blog about my trauma though I don't always post what I write, writing helps me feel better about my feelings and reminds me that my feelings are valid. I love self care, it definitely helps too. Your makeup looks beautiful 💛 sending lots of love!

[@justaksh]

I love makeup too when feeling down; reading a book and connecting with friends

[@KrestynBarton]

Lately I’ve really been loving adult coloring books. Its so relaxing, I zone out and my brain gets a break.

[@megan5475]

Something else that's uplifting is looking up a good recipe go to the shops buy the ingredients and cook/bake it. It's so fun trying out new recipes that then usually taste good and can become a new go to meal or so. :)

[@devaroni904]

I would love to see as much as a full face of XoBeauty!!! And on another note. After you posted this I went and did the same thing. Spent some time pampering myself. I haven’t been feeling like my body/skin are my own! Hopeful that you get to feeling better.

[@the_kiwi_nz]

Loving the eyeliner palette. Definitely want to purchase soon! Love supporting a local palmy business woman too! ❤

[@madiful100]

Loving the straight hair Shan! ❤

[@mhoney83]

Going to the gym or a walk helps... Listening to music is key to a better mood. I've been crying a lot lately and feeling so alone that I haven't had interest in putting makeup on. 😞. I feel like I'm being ignored and mistreated by certain people at work. So ya a $hit time

[@Noora_Spruce]

These videos inspire me to have 1 day a week full of self care ❤ Thank you Shannon, sending you lots of love from Estonia ❤❤

[@leonniehowe1512]

Have you tried the made by Mitchell swirl solution? You can turn any eyeshadow into a liquid liner it is honestly incredible! Xx

[@melfryer9487]

I walk long distances. I walked a half marathon last week and it’s literally my sanity. Other than that a bath, face mask and a good playlist. You look STUNNING

[@Search4Cherise]

When I feel down praying, taking a shower, taking a walk, hula, talking to a friend, & doing my makeup all help me feel better!

[@hollilick]

3 weeks ago I caught an awful stomach flu and what made me feel a lot better was having my nightly bath and doing my skincare routine ! Obviously I just needed time in order to get better but little self care things helped me a lot mentally! 😊

[@ceciwolfcat7]

I love these self care vids, please do them more often Shan.🥰 I'm so glad to see the makeup look, gorgeous!❤ Lots of love to you and your wonderful 4 boys!😍

[@hannahmarie7777]

Just as I was refreshing my KZbin your new video pops up! 💗 Love it

[@mariamoller9269]

Watching your videos helps me calm down and feel better ❤❤

[@sarahvic458]

I think the foundation looks lovely! The whole look looks amazing. I hope you're feeling better x

[@micaelaprime1044]

Sitting down and doing my makeup and then gaming helps me when I'm feeling down and even just sitting here watching your video helps take my mind of things! I've been having a lot of anxiety lately and have really not been feeling myself recently, just feel so lost with my life right now and not knowing how to fix it.. I lost my dad 4 years ago recently and my 14 year old Birman cat has has been having seizures and there's nothing the vets can do about it and I feel bad having to leave her home everyday because I'm the only one in my company that doesn't get the choice to work from home (unless I am unwell). I recently purchased these crystal diamond paining things that I kept seeing everywhere that are meant to help reduce stress and anxiety so I'm really hoping it helps me after work my long days at work! I also plan to stream it on Twitch once they arrive so I feel like it will be quite calming and finally booked myself in to get my hair completely done after over a year. I also just hate Winter time 😂 Wellington is too cold and makes me not want to get out of bed. You look stunning as always Shan ❤❤

[@KairiiKaijuu]

Literally just sitting outside or in a sunny spot on the couch in my house. Drinking a coffee or a juice and just existing in the sun or some sort of daylight. That always makes me just feel a little more like a human.

[@shaaanxo]

yessssss. its so cloudy and grim where i live right now... def impacts my mood

[@jentimcakova5664]

Having all my earrings and nose ring in even at home makes me feel glamorous whilst cleaning and doing laundry.

[@hannahkayee831]

Sugar in a big pan for a highlight shade please !!!! ❤❤❤ been thinking about that forever lol

[@marleeariel]

Honestly, doing some sort of craft always makes me feel better. Whether it be making jewelry, greeting cards, DIY decorations, etc. Anything like that makes me feel better.

[@sgul20]

Just the video I needed. Can’t wait to see the results 🤍 love watching you

[@ilovesongs4eva]

I love bush walks it’s so relaxing and can just forget about everything that makes you stress out, but even though I’m outta shape a bit can be exhausting to start with but feel so much better afterwards and listening to music also something I enjoy

[@HayleyinOz]

Firstly that scissor moment - Girl I’m glad you have both your eyes 😂 Secondly- plug your products. I learned you have so many options now ! I haven’t shopped your products in ages but it’s given me inspiration to check them out. 3rd definitely yes to roll for makeup. Maybe special fx as one of suggestions for eyes or skin or lips. All XO beauty products look Colour themes but crazy colour themes 😂

[@sarahedmunds9335]

Loving all the uploads lately! You’re doing a great job as a mum 🥰

[@tropicalladyj8033]

Absolutely a skincare junky! And exercise even just walking is so important to feel better mentally and physically 💜🌺🍀

[@tatimccourt]

You are literally stunning, love how it all turned out!! I may be off, but I feel like I have a Charlotte tilbury pencil eyeliner that’s very similar to that liner color! It’s the pillow talk eyeliner in pillowtalk! ❤

[@kerriwright4593]

The sugar shadow looks so smooth on your lids.

[@GlamByPenela]

Gorgeous 🥰 And btw I think you are doing it just right with the baby drama. Ignore and change the subject worked wonders for me.

[@tayafransen4642]

I loooove this look! You suit pink so much!

[@kerriwright4593]

You look absolutely beautiful 😍 I hope you're feeling better

[@Surixo]

I love love love this look. The make up, your hair, the dress 😍🤤 that foundation looks amazing too, nice and dewy 💖

[@gittejanetfrebergmoen1718]

I have loved watching your videos from way back when you started youtube and I still love watching your videos😍🤩🙌 The «roll the dice-idea» sounds fun🤩👏👏 Sending you a big hug all the way from Norway🤗💖

[@LakinRhianna]

I am OBSESSED with this look! So girly and glam!

[@Nella_roxy14]

Hi Shan loved your make up look it's so pretty and I always enjoy watching your videos ❤❤❤❤

[@Viictoria__]

Self tanning and having freshly washed hair perks me up like nothing else. Can’t be sad, sick, or uncomfortable in your own skin when youre tan with clean hair!

[@shaaanxo]

yesssss so true. i love fresh hair but im so lazy with my hair being as long as it is

[@brandypolesky6974]

Love you Shannon and you look great don’t stress too much momma ❤

[@ritafaye6499]

Shannon, you don’t need an excuse to take maybe 3 hours to yourself. Your son is happy, he has two loving and attentive parents. You’re wonderful parents!!! You’re also an individual woman who has her own interests (that don’t involve bluey). Please don’t let people make you feel bad for taking time for yourself while your husband (who is equally qualified to care for his child) cares for the baby.

[@taramatilton706]

Vitamins! I have a strict vitamin routine and damn they work wonders! I work at a health clinic so I pre-battle the germs!

[@chehancock4485]

Kindy Teacher here! Everything you’ve described is essentially normal behaviour - the throwing will be him practising object permanence, if I throw it here is it gone forever? Will it come back? Also cause and effect - will someone give it back to me? So all normal. I usually advise our parents - 3 strikes, first time throw - “oh, are you finished your toast?”, second time throw “I think you might be finished” third time throw “all done, no more toast. Something else for food or done?” Tantrums… eek haha… try having a replacement - get him his own mini pair of glasses or sunglasses, “your glasses here, these are mine”. He’s essentially testing to figure out what the rule is or the boundary is for you - so start as you mean to go on… if you don’t care that he has your glasses, then give them to him, if you don’t plan on having to replace your glasses every two weeks/ days haha, then no, it’s a boundary and a limit. That’s normal!! And the usual challenges for a parent of a toddler 😊😊😊

[@shaaanxo]

thank you!! xx

[@moatinymoon9592]

Don’t apologies for using your own brand please xx you should be proud of showcasing it and it’s nice to see the products in action

[@davinamcm6435]

Things that perk me up - Putting on a dopamine outfit, doing my nails, refresh bright colour hair or doing a new style or using a new accessory, Lymphatic drainage facial massage with facial oils, incense, lighting a cancel, skin care, some breathwork, yoga, fresh air- walk with my dog, good music, singing or dancing, getting in nature, feeding birds in my backyard, making an amazing meal, glass of wine, a comfort movie, cosy jammies, face mask, pedicure etc

[@pelinmeleksalkim]

eye makeup is so cute I will gonna do it same tomorrow

[@liesldejager9873]

Trust the process!

[@Lin99990]

You look amazing as always, Shaan!!

[@tropicalladyj8033]

Another note on wellness Supplement extra garlic, either in foods or pills. Any time I’m feeling a little ick, I take extra garlic and the ick goes away much faster. Also cayenne or cinnamon for your arteries :) Note: of course don’t take if you’re allergic

[@meriemch8586]

The eyes, gorgeous 💜

[@sierragholston9854]

I love Shannon she’s so relatable 😂

[@zanajury4148]

Going to the gym makes me feel so much better :) putting on makeup, baking with a glass of wine and reading a stimulating book

[@jessicawilkinson5621]

I think the mac foundation product is more of a tinted filter product like the Charlotte tilbury flawless filter, just use a light layer of it under foundation or as your base on lighter makeup days🥰

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Hi Shaano happy Saturday afternoon and I hope you having amazing day today and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter and I'm proud of you

[@morgz_tv]

When I feel down in the dumps I read The Bible…helps to put my problems into perspective. ❤

[@lisacolborne]

Gorgeous Shannon! I feel the same about makeup and skincare. Sometimes you just have to have some time on your own to do what you want to do and that is completely ok. Yes, you have a baby but you need to take care of yourself as well.

[@MaMaLoVe77ily]

Lately where i live i notice people trying to bring the 70's look back.....that would be cool if you do like a 70's inspired look!😊Even thought im not from the 70's i like the styles from back then😊

[@worthyyou923]

I have four kids and two good friends with baby girls also the same age as my baby girl so we hang out either with our babies or girl dates. Definitely recharges me.

[@kerriwright4593]

I'm laughing so hard about those scissors 😂your face when the handle busted 😅 whatever that glue is I need to try because nails never stay on my nails

[@dayahmk]

Dear shan. Im so glad you uploaded,its 3 am in germany. I can’t sleep because indigestion. I just moved here with my toddler. After two months living in hotel, we finally moved into an apartment. Im so stressed I think Ive got three breakouts within a day. Sorry to hear about porter teething experience, he definitely looked like hes in pain. 😢

[@bgdyifs]

Yes to the roll for makeup! Add grungy liner, black glossy lipstick, bleached brows, colored contact lenses, fake nose ring !!!

[@LauraOttawa]

Self care is essential ❤

[@TattooGurl1977]

For me to make me happy when I'm really down in the dumps I love totally changing my hair or get a new tattoo. I also enjoy making a new dish I haven't ever made before or just ordering from some place new if it's really hot and I don't want to cook. I also love to go see a movie I'll go all by myself I don't need anyone else to enjoy some me time. I used to love taking my dog for a walk but she can only go like a block now before she gets too tired she is 14.

[@ashleyc2525]

Yes to the roll for it please! 😁

[@sofiegronberg5818]

Are you still taking eugaia? Your hair looks insane! 😱💕

[@luna1584]

Your full palette of Sugar would be me with your shade “Pekapeka” from The Native palette 😂 love it!

[@Ohkeh640]

What’s your shade in Mac powder? Would be nice if you listed products and shades

[@rachelp90210]

As a make up artist that base stresssssed me out 😂😂 you salvaged it well!! X

[@dimplechops88]

Eyeliner queen

[@annanaylor]

Awesome Vid!! Thanks for being real and honest about feelings we mummas get. My son 20months was in throwing stage just the last month or so... i wouldn't react massively but i still would respectfully say, 'don't throw this please Benji'. 'Say im finished now'. He now tells me when he is finished and hands me his things. Question 🙋‍♀️: your tanner product, how is it to sleep in regards sheets in the bed.

[@shaaanxo]

good idea! doesnt rub off once rinsed! I usually apply mine during day and shower it off at night if i have white sheets on. with our darker sheets i dont see it either way

[@beverleysteele1106]

as far as throwing its part and parcel if it was summer i would say make a positive game out of throwing out side you know when he starts throwing say oh yay thowing lets go out side for throwing yay you know sort of thing so he associates the 2 things ,but i would just put away any hard toys if he is throwing and leave all his soft ones,as for food throwing food ,i have no idea xx

[@yvettemariee1505]

I’m not even kidding, I nearly died when the handle broke off of those scissors ✂️ 😂 that is some strong ass nail glue 😮

[@KeishaAbbott]

When any children I've been responsible for(there have been many) fake cry, I cry back at them. Like "no, it's my turn to cry now." You only have to do it for like 30 seconds and go "okay your turn" and they get so dang confused. Like what the heck are you doing, but the crying stops

[@aliciadiaz032]

Just the video I needed! ❤ just got home from the hospital after having baby #2. Need some self care and baby snuggles

[@Rainbopagn]

I cackled at the scissors!! I’d do something like that 😂😂

[@luvbug1331]

enjoyed this

[@jwilsss]

I have no idea what that makeup roulette is but do it! unless I’m late af

[@Ohkeh640]

Where do you buy tarte shape tape from and most your make up x

[@possumintheblossom]

I'm doing my creative stuff (today it's sewing) while watching you do your creative stuff. We both need our fun to feel like ourselves.

[@lhalaa]

I think our babies are few days/weeks apart, and we’re going through the same thing. My little one has been throwing since she started solids and haven’t changed. She’s now also starting to throw tantrums at 1yo and I think the same thing, aren’t you early to throw tantrums. My bub would like full on lie down on the floor fake cry and roll. So it begins.. 😂

[@chloeshipley3874]

I’m gonna say barbie collab 😏 it’s the hair and earrings for me 💕

[@shaaanxo]

nailed it :)

[@SassyFrasponduechu]

Love these videos

[@mishlermakeup1228]

Holy moly I was first ❤❤ Self care is the best care🥰🥰

[@kailaaaf]

When the scissors broke 😂🙌🏼

[@jobutler-mills5142]

I used to work with one year olds in a daycare. One thing we always did when a child would throw their food is take it away redirect them. Once they have calmed down we would give the food back and sit with the child. Give no reaction just would say ok are you telling me your done? We can take a break. Clean their hands and get them down from their chair. I know it’s sounds like a lot of work but doing that over and over a few times always worked. With tantrums.. if they are not hurt or in pain. Walk away!! Giving any kind of attention gives them the idea that it’s ok to keep doing it. Ex. If a child was throwing a tantrum over a simple thing. Walk away and play with a different activity. Say when you are ready we can play with this toy.

[@mariayarde1325]

What nail glue do you use? I need it asap lol
