LIFE UPDATE- I don't want to be an influencer anymore and I'm growing my hair out.

[@kaicee5463]

Sister! Do you! Take whatever time you need, to do you. It’s okay.

[@theejaydoubleyew]

This is THEEEEE one! Life isn't too short; it's the longest period we know, we don't know any days beyond that which we've lived. THAT is the reason it's important that we center and care for ourselves and do what we want, not what we think others want us to do, what others tell us to do, etc. WHEW!

[@DWOODMUA]

Thank you so much 🤍

[@DWOODMUA]

I’ve never looked at life from this perspective. I like this!!

[@xensationss]

I totally understand what you’re going through. I too had to become an influencer because of a pageant I did back in 2022, and a project I did that blew up in 2020. Honestly, I feel as though the influencer phase is fizzling out because influencing is hard asf and lonely asf too. Some people get really lucky, but if you don’t, it can be extremely overwhelming. It also does not pay if you haven’t been an influencer who established themselves 10+ years ago, so I feel you on taking a break. I simply post on KZbin now - every two weeks, whenever I get a chance. It’s been amazing. I hope you find your footing soon. Love your tutorials, you pretty much taught me how to apply my makeup at 27 😂 Focus on what is important, prioritize your mental, and I hope everything works out for you soon 🤗

DWOOD! You deserve those bday surprises! I love your expressions on your face! Happy New Year belated ! Your makeup is always beautiful !

[@niaallwood4399]

This look ate!!! 😍😍😍. I’ve been feeling the same and have not done my makeup in forever. You definitely are making me want to go in the stash lol

[@LynnAnderson-pq2yp]

Happy Belated Birthday. Mine is in March. So glad you had a wonderful day. That's what friends are for.❣❣❤❤❤🍧🎊🎉

[@DWOODMUA]

Thank you so much!!! It was a very magical day! Are you #TeamPisces or #TeamAries?

[@theejaydoubleyew]

I was wondering where you've been! Glad you're back! You deserve ALL of the bday love! Listen, and I'm sure your mom and other elders say this in some way: You're 27. Do you. Be you. Stay true to you. When things don't feel good to or for you, change how you do them or don't do them. Your gifts have made ways for you and will continue to do so; you don't have to compromise in order for that to happen. YOU are the prize! Any job/gig, brand or partnership that's deserving of your greatness, will come. Rest as needed, but keep going! Short content vs. longer: Studies show the average attention span is 8.25 seconds. It has decreased over the years and is still going down. Color Purple: The current movie is the movie version of the musical. The book is the GOAT. Okay, I'm finished. I'm proud of you. As always, you gave us a LEWK, Beautiful -- and FAST!

[@DWOODMUA]

Wow thank you so much. This comment was much needed and HIGHLY APPRECIATED!!!!

[@theejaydoubleyew]

Your content is "much needed and highly appreciated!" I'm old enough to be your mother. I bleached my fade white after years of debating whether or not to do so, b/c of you. I put that, "I'm too dark, it won't look right" mentality aside, because of YOU! You're an inspiration. @@DWOODMUA

[@carmenlee5]

Welcome back , I totally agree with your statement. I love makeup and came to KZbin to learn how to do makeup, however all the previous KZbinrs I use to follow have changed. There is no honesty and authenticity anymore. I am happy to know that you are not changing who you are just for a brand. Thank you beautiful and have a wonderful day, god bless you.

[@LynnAnderson-pq2yp]

I sure hope you you don,t stop being an influncer. I love watching you no matter what you are doing (hair or makeup. Please don't go. You don''t have to do neither. Just do what you like or want to do. I would love whatever you do. Stay strong sweetie. 😊🙂😀❤

[@LynnAnderson-pq2yp]

[@tanyagoss336]

Me too I miss the old KZbin videos ❤❤❤ most of these KZbin personalities are lying about using these products and Perfumes I only watch makeup videos these vlogs are all about shopping in luxury stores trying to get people to buy products that they don’t need.

[@Sharon-f3t]

DWOOD, keep pushing through, if I stopped pushing, I wouldn’t be here today, also you wouldn’t be here lol😂. I love you to death and you come from a group of strong bones. I believe that life is lifeing for us all, keep on living. I always got back,do what makes you feel good.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@ItsKeishaBN]

Loveeeee the makeup btw!

[@DWOODMUA]

Thank you beautiful!!!!

[@mrs.hopson9426]

Girl I agree, I said this year I don’t care how good it is I’m not buying any makeup this year. Influencers get paid to show makeup. And realistically only wear about 4 of the foundations if that out of all that. I’m not buying any of it. You will go in debt buying all that stuff that’s pretty much the same. I use maybe one or 2 foundations out of the 10 or 15 I have gotten and honey im done being influenced. Now I will keep watching the videos because I love makeup videos but I will not buy anymore. Child this makeup will expire before I get to use it all 🤦🏽‍♀️. I’m going to subscribe to you just for touching on this subject. It’s funny I was just thinking about this .

[@DWOODMUA]

Right! I love makeup and I cherish my collection but damn ENOUGH IS ENOUGH 😂 Welcome to the fam!!
