Getting it together

[@leviblevins513]

I started watching you like two years ago. I told you my mom died from obesity and diabetes in her early 50s and it made me want to lose weight and you responded to my story in the comments. It meant the world to me. I was 298 back then. As a stay at home mom it's hard. Kids like junk food. I am 170 now. You helped me so much. Such a positive attitude. Thank you. So much.

[@dees3179]

Well done you.

[@LauraRodriguez-Peace]

Way to go, Levi! 🙂

[@hederahelix4600]

That's amazing. Congratulations. You must feel so much better. I remember what it feels like to lose a large amount and suddenly everything is easier. It's so good. Unfortunately I got back into bad habits and gained it all back. All the best to you. You proved to yourself that you can change and not suffer your mom's fate.

[@NanetteNette]

congrats 🎉 i may not know you but i'm very proud of you

[@dsch2000]

Wow that is so great! Congrats on taking care of your self! And so sorry for losing your mum young 💛

[@JD-dh7bk]

You are too hard on yourself. You literally own 2 houses that you got renovated. You decorate your home beautifully. You can cook. You're smart. You're beautiful. And You're always trying to better yourself. Seriously awesome job!

[@cherylmay595]

I'll always follow you no matter what you're doing. You're cool and so fun to watch. Your personality jumps out of the video. You might not see how awesome you are, but me and countless others know you're awesome. You are so talented, smart, and engaging. This is your niche. You have what most of us wish we had...a great personality, intelligence, and likability. You are a star ⭐

[@AWJ-zf8cf]

Well said!! I agree with everything

Teacher here: I LOVE that you’re germinating the seeds in a window bag!!! Whoever taught you that- it stuck! ❤️❤️

[@tesscan069]

The fact that you have 366k subscribers indicates that you’re doing something right. Life is essentially all about riding the ebbs and flows. You have found your “unicorn space” so continue to embrace it. Love from Canada 🇨🇦 ✌🏼

[@monicahernandez1966]

Bea! My private defense is tomorrow morning! My public at the end of the month! And then I'll be a Dr.! I feel like you have been a part of my journey the last few years because it has been a struggle to get it together! But small steps lead to big changes! Keep moving forward!

[@engruls06]

That's awesome! That's a lot of hard work, GO YOU!

Bea, just here to tell you that you feel like my bestie right now. I watch your videos all the time, been following you since 2020 ❤

[@Eebalyakam]

Same here!!! I so look forward to these videos, they always make me so happy like I’m catching up with my friend ❤

You, Ms Caruso, are a total joy! I don't care what you do on your channel, I will always be a fan. Good luck in all you go girrrrrrl ✊🏽💜

[@behappydamnit2752]

I can't tell you how much your content uplifts me. It's so great to see a real human dealing with real life issues and being willing to sit down and have a conversation about that. So many relatable things and your personality shines bright. Going through a bit of a re-set myself. I quit the job that was killing my soul, started cleaning out closets and cabinets, and will be starting a new job/adventure soon. You are inspiring me to maybe try this youtube thing for myself haha! (because you know, ADHD for the win!) Keep on being you and everything that brings

[@nicsmith725]

Girl, I just want you to know that your journey has been a guiding light to my own. Thank you for your willingness to share the real parts and the process, even when they're not so pretty. I feel as though I've had a friend through this, and it's helped me tremendously! All the blessings to you! 😊❤

[@monicacrumrine8241]

Simply put, you are smart, authentic, funny, ingenious, brave and a warrior to keep navigating through your health issues.🥰 You are about the same age as my kids and I adore you. I have a daughter who struggles with anxiety and depression that can be debilitating at times. I am so happy you are feeling better. Your home looks great, even without the curtains! 💗 I can’t wait to see if you can get your Victory Garden growing. My suggestion, be sure to plant some tomatoes. They tend to be easy to grow and make you feel good about yourself as a legit gardener! 😂 I start most of my veggies from starter plants purchased from a family run farmers market. It’s so much easier than seeds. Good for you for starting from seeds!

[@evelyncape4180]

Hey Bea! I love how you have hung your pictures, arranged your furniture, set up your space to reflect your interests. We notice and approve! 😘❤️🙏🏼

[@ericastivison]

Yesssss 👏🏻

[@pummelchen21]

Oh boy, growing vegetables is something I look forward to every winter. I just got my second batch of seeds in today actually :) Most veggies just need warmth to sprout and light after that, so maybe wait with the lights until there is a bit of green showing and just keep the lids on until then. One thing I really had to learn is to also include flowers. It's so obvious that you need pollinators but for some reason I didn't think about giving them some nice flowers to come by my garden. Last tip: Spinach and tomatos (especially the ones growing like a little bush) are super easy and so rewarding. Fingers crossed for all your seeds!

[@tylerj6182]

You are genuinely a pleasure to watch no matter what you’re doing!

[@UVUH2S]

The whole reason I watch every thing you make is because I'm invested in YOU and your journey of self discovery. You're so lovely and I'm rooting for you!

[@Bennettfarm]

Growing food is a rabbit hole my friend. I started out with a few garden beds in my backyard and that slowly exploded to I becoming a market gardener, and today I put in an offer to purchase on a 150 acre farm. I love growing our food, preserving and canning. Cooking from scratch. I keep expanding 😆😅 you will love it!!

[@liamgarcia9854]

Your 1% male audience here 😜: It’s nice to see you cracking jokes again. I enjoy supporting your journey because you are real about life in all it’s “features/bugs”. Keep following those moments that being you authentic joy ❤️ You got this!

[@intrepidtomato]

Well I used to think I had a problem with absolutely FALLING DOWN RABBITHOLES once I got obsessed with a topic but I laughed out loud when you dumped all the prepper seeds on the table. Holy overcommitment batman. Love it. When on earth did you install all those UV lights? I've never been THAT good at actually committing to my obsession. Love your channel.

[@dees3179]

Welcome to life with ADHD! 😵‍💫

[@kwill136]

I've been watching since 2020. When I started watching you I was also trying to lose weight in a more balanced way. Watching you has felt like a best friend going through it too. Particularly because none of my other friends are in a similar position to me. Thank you for uploading and sticking to this. I'll be here supporting. ❤️

[@nadiarambles]

Loved what you had to say about how as adults, we often don't make time for what we're interest in (especially creative hobbies). Your designs were really fun, it's making me excited to meet with a friend of mine at the library this week to do creative hobbies and reading together. If that goes well, might make it a weekly thing. :)

[@lesieli]

I was subscribed to Happy Cashew! I was so happy when I found you again years later. You’ve always been awesome. ❤

[@cristinabearden9629]

Gardening is so therapeutic ❤ It’s been a passion of mine for the last several years! Growing your own food is so rewarding and gives me a chance to nurture something and watch it grow. I learned so much from KZbin, so if you are having trouble growing something, KZbin is a great tool! Good luck and enjoy the process!

[@ElizabethAMS2015]

A restart being the culmination of all past failures is a very kind way to look at things. Any time you try to better yourself or your situation, it's never a waste of time!❤❤

[@elanafeldman4177]

Hi Bea! I absolutely love you content. I’ve been following since almost day 1. I’m a plant scientist and I have some advice on when to plant your trees. Unfortunately, they should not have been brought into the house. No worries tho! They’re gonna grow and do great as long as you wait until it’s a little warmer! They currently think it is summer, so I would wait until the indoor temperature is similar to the outdoor temperature so that they don’t get shocked and die. I also live in the inter mountain west so I know how cold this winter has been. I would recommend waiting a couple more weeks until there is a stretch of a few warm days on a row and planting them then. I’m sure the yard will look great!

[@Lacy-dt5cq]

I don't usually comment, but I just had to jump on here and say yes! Farmer's Almanac is definitely a witchcraft book! A coworker and I tried to be mini farmers so we bought the book thinking it was going to tell us when and what to plant... we were not expecting the witchcraftery... now we know when to cut our hair for growth, when to buy a house, when to clean the garage all based on the moon... haha Also, I've just come to view this channel as a person same age as me, learning and growing and figuring out life as it comes and I'm along for the ride. I have watched and will continue to watch. Don't apologize or worry about the changes/directions your channel has gone and will go through. It means you are GROWING! Because honestly, the channels that stick to the same thing for years and years end up becoming so redundant and then they just start reaching for anything just for views and they're authenticity is lost.

[@joannadavis1881]

Love the fact that you are starting your own journey to growing your own food. I have much faith in you. Your garden will grow BEAUTIFLY and give you the most delicious and healthy food. Don't give up Bea. I'm in your corner. Love ya 🥰❤️

[@kmsevero1]

You're back on coffee! As a coffee lover, I love that! ;) No, but seriously, only focusing on that ONE bad comment from someone is totally normal human behavior. You're amazing and fun and a delight. Your videos make my day a little bit better. Keep on being exactly who you are.

[@AWJ-zf8cf]

Yes I saw that I was like oh yay she is drinking coffee again. !

[@cemitchell6496]

OMG, Bea, you are funny! I grew up gardening with my Granny. Bumper crops all over the place. I married town boy from Wyoming. Got our own place. Can't grow hardly anything, now. Apparently, Granny was the witch and didn't pass it down to me.

[@shawnalajame4432]

Watching you makes me happy. Your “random Tuesday” made this shitty Monday so much less Monday-ish. Here’s my gratitude to you, You fricken ROCK! Do not read any comments that do not reverberate the positivity that I am saying to you here, because they are just fricken wrong. ;-)

[@travellinjack9487]

The candles in the fireplace and the plants make such a nice background. Looking forward to your farming adventures :)

[@Sierra_Lynn]

My sister is about to start a reset. She had given her notice at work and is done the end of April. She is then travelling to a retreat in another country for 2 months. She is then travelling to another location and volunteering at a camp like thing for another few weeks before coming back home.

[@brandivillegas24]

The mascara smeared around your eye is ME!!!! 🤣😂 That literally made my day!! ❤

[@victoriadritschel1610]

For the trees, you will want to wait to plant them until after your last frost, which is usually the end of April.

[@wh0aheavy]

Your new place is looking so great! I've been trying to find the motivation to do literally anything lately. The self love thing is so important. I'm really trying to work on that. Sometimes it's hard. Anyway, we're all here for you and cheering you on. I always look forward to seeing whatever you're up to! Much love 💜

[@evelynnejade]

I have been watching your channel since the beginning and always look forward to it. You are like one of my friends and i laughed so hard when you brought out the seeds and mealworms...i can totally relate! I tried growing seeds several years ago and failed miserably but then i watched some videos on what to do and decided to try again. I planted mine last week and already have quite a few that have popped up. Now I'm panicking realizing I have way too many plants! The things i learned are you need to use seed starting soil and a heating pad under your tray. And you can plant your trees whenever the ground is thawed enough to dig a hole. I love your way of looking at life...keep doing you!!

[@megan2176]

Love what you said about the combo of doing what you love, but also getting stuff done... not sure if I got that right, but it reminded me of something I just learned about called "ikigai". It's a Japanese concept, which is basically doing what we're good at, what we enjoy, what the world needs, and what we can get paid for. Just a really cool idea, and would make life so fulfilling if we could check off all four of those boxes! I'm definitely not there yet, but someday! KZbin seems a great fit for you, as long as you are enjoying it! 😃💕

[@intheblueocean]

I relate to this because after the pandemic lockdown I was very deliberate in what and who I chose to add back into my life. Getting off most social media really helped! I see people I (mostly) want to see and do things I like without comparing my life to Instagram or Facebook. ❤

[@diannabaggett1372]

My advice on gardening and planting in general I encourage you to start small. Grow some cucumbers and tomatoes. Chickens can be very time consuming. I have 4 and they keep me busy and there is so much to learn. I’ve been gardening for 3 years and got a good harvest last year and chickens for 6 months.

[@KW-up2ox]

Bea, I’m here for whatever you throw at us lol! So many of your struggles epiphanies & experiences resonate with me, including the goofy random stuff. It’s nice to see someone with similar weight & mental health challenges still here thuggin’ it out & striving to live a full life! ❤

[@zenasaunders1984]

I’m OBSESSED with your fireplace with the candles n plants…. Looks so good! ✨✨✨

[@cutemuffins3567]

Seeing you be a mess but still get some shit together does motivate me to do the things I've been putting off. While watching this, I'm putting some laundry away and plan to do some organizing/cleaning later.

[@turnipcake3263]

If only you knew the joy I felt when I saw that Bea was hyper fixated on gardening and homesteading like I have been lately…. GURL! Get it!! Do what makes you happy!!!!! Epic gardening is a great channel to follow and get inspired btw. Also getting homesteading books from the library is helpful too (when the motivation to read strikes you, it’s hard for me). Modern homestead is a book I am managing to go through and it’s extensive and covers so much without being overwhelming! Anywho. Love you ❤

[@paigepeach9882]

I started my seeds in my Aerogarden and then after a month planted them in the yard, but I know you live in Colorado so you could plant them in planters until the end of the cold season. Best of luck to you girl!

[@stacyq7656]

Lovvvvve Aerogardens. I failed so many times at outdoor growing until I started them in the Aerogarden and moved them outside.

[@showandtellmeg]

Yay homesteading! This sounds so much like my own progression lol. I jumped in head first and got chickens and quails in 2021 and I garden and can my own food and everything. Its a shit ton of work, but its also very rewarding. Sometimes its a downer because you add so many living things to be responsible for, but that is also a boost in other times knowing that even if you dont feel like you've got much going on that at least you've kept all these other things alive? If that makes sense. Anyway, im all for the lean in. You gotta jump sometimes and learn along the way. P.s. those survival seed things are a scam for the most part. Its best to pick a reliable seed company - even just the ones they sell at lowes are generally better than the Amazon packs. If you want to get really squirrely, you can get rabbits because their poop is like GARDEN GOLD. Lol anyway best of luck. Im here for it.

[@OnaMoore]

[@denise1360]

Can we please get more of the new kitty? Also how is cheddy settling in? Dougy seems to be happy being wherever you are 💜 and looks happy in the new place.

[@TristansMom10]

Hi! So some seeds are crappy and have low germination rates so it is important to buy seeds from a reputable place. Also some seeds do need to be cold stratified or they do take a very long time to germinate. I recommend Luke from MIgardener here on youtube. Hes been doing these videos for a really long time and he has tons of videos for the at home gardeners. His channel has been so helpful and educational for me. I've been container gardening for a few years now and I started the same way you did. I have a ridiculous amount of seeds and idk why! lol! Also Luke sells seeds as well and they have damn near 100% germination rate and I've had the seeds for years now.

[@kathleenrivard5440]

I really enjoy you videos. Hope you keep them coming. You’re more genuine than a lot of people on KZbin. 😊

[@JuliaCantley]

Plan in the spring. Though, a freeze will kill your blooms. Most of the time you want to make sure you have no more frost before you put anything out. Starting seedlings inside is such a great idea and is usually done to get ahead when planting season is usually in April. Good luck.

I can't grow shit outside that isn't a bulb, but I have successfully planted upwards of a dozen trees in my yard that have survived! Here's what you do: when the ground is soft enough, plant them tree babies outside. Then water them every evening (put the hose on a slow flow and leave it for about twenty minutes), do that through their first summer, and they should be good to go! Good luck! (Also, I've been living a sober life for the first time since the pandemic, and your reset videos have helped me to stay focused and moving forward, so thanks for being my companion through the struggles!🖤)

Find out the zone you live in for best results with gardening. You may need to amend the soil for certain veggies. I'm not an expert, but I attempt to garden every year.

[@LiluLaFeigh]

We have a homestead in VT. My guess is the seeds are past their prime and has little to do with you. But, you might try a seed starting heat mat if it's still cold in Colorado. You don't need lights until they've popped up, unless that's for warmth. And chickens are little devils. Try and find someone with adult hens if you don't want roosters.
