My LA Style! Favorite Places & Go-To Looks ◈ Ingrid Nilsen

[@LauraNeuzeth]

To those who are complaining about sponsored videos, let me explain to you why you shouldn't complain. Making videos for a living isn't as easy as it may seem, especially Ingrid's. KZbin is her career and business, so it's smart for her to treat it as such. She has someone to film her videos, that's why her videos are shot beautifully and there's no shakiness or issues with lighting. That camera person most likely gets paid to do their job. She also has the responsibility to invest in camera, light, sound, and editing equipment. If you know anything about camera gear, then you'll know that professional lenses with small f-stops can run up $700+. The other equipment is also very pricey, especially if you want professional looking videos. I also believe that she's been recording videos in a separate office space, if that's the case she needs to pay for rent (on top of her own apartment's rent). If it wasn't for sponsored videos, she wouldn't get the opportunity to constantly put that money back into her channel. It may seem annoying to some of you but Google AdSense takes 40% of the ad revenue and she most likely also has to pay for an talent agent to handle her contracts and a lawyer. All these things definitely do add up.

[@Ishasingh19]

You totally opener up my eyes about the adsense thing. thats actually pretty annoying. and ikr, i dont even know. i friggin loved the video so so much. dont know how does hair products make a difference to the liking a video. gosh

[@ingeborgmjelve]

I do completely agree with what you are saying, but I do think the ads are a little misplaced in this video. Like, "this is where I like to go at night and btw I use this and this product to blah blah blah". I wouldn't mind it if this was a hair styles video or anything, it just seems out of place here.

[@LauraNeuzeth]

Ingeborg Mjelve Some people would still complain if this was just a hair tutorial. I personally really liked that she added her own personal spin to a hair video and showed us where she would wear each style. It went a step further than a straightforward tutorial.

[@LauraNeuzeth]

Vivian Foster Congratulations?

[@ingeborgmjelve]

+Laura Neuzeth well yeah, no matter what people would complain, remember the waffle sandwich video? I see what you mean, and the ad in this wasn't awful. I just think being straightforward in the title or something would be better ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@sav1685]

i usually see a lot of hate on ingrid's videos. when she made a cooking video, people complained at how it was a non vegan recipe and "suggested" she went vegan. she does a sponsorship, people complain about that even though that's how she makes a living. just chill out and watch the video. or don't.

[@victoriacho5043]

Couldn't have said it any better myself

[@victoriacho5043]

I feel like the youtube community has gotten so much more picky and has such high expectations nowadays that it's virtually impossible to please everybody, and I'm surprised youtubers' confidence is still high and that they don't seem too phased by all the hate.

[@brookesoldiersunite3325]

Well we dont know its sponsored until we click.Our opinion on if we like sponsored vids or not.Next time she uploads ill assume its sponsored and not click.

[@Ishasingh19]

Need more people like you. And i so so agree to what you say. Thanks.

[@tinyplanetexplorer9896]

Finally someone understands

[@ZohraMaura]

Next time please put ad in the subject so we know what to expect when clicking in and thinking we're about to watch a super authentic video. Also I've lived in Echo Park for three years and have never heard or been to Winsome, so it must be brand new and not somewhere you go for breakfast "all the time" lolol.

[@chemistryflavored]

While I agree about the ad part, if you follow Ingrid on Dysh she has gone to Winsome a lot :)

[@AmoolyaParuchuri]

Winsome opened in late 2015, so it's entirely possible that she's been going there a lot recently! totally understand where you're coming from with the ad thing though, I wish she'd do less sponsored content too :(

[@wheresmycrownyo]

+Amoolya Paruchuri how do guys expect Ingrid to make money? girls gotta eat and put a roof over her head.

[@sydneyyoung3]

+Erika Johnson this is the type of sponsored video i don't mind.Its still a cool video with interesting content and the sponsorship parts with minimal.

[@mandyhaas5853]

Yes! Absolutely sick of the ads and the "sponsored" and "teamed up with" crap. And she makes enough money through other means. She doesn't need to bait and switch us with ads.

[@NikkiPhillippi]

I love this!!! It was so pretty!!! Also your hair is incredible.🙊😍

[@hiheidz]

oh my gosshhhh LA is absolutely gorgeous. can't wait until i can live in a big city x

[@hiheidz]

also all your outfits are rlly rlly cute

[@eustinakim2710]

omg!! I love your channel!!!!! I really liked your poetry video

[@MaryDevallKoenigs]

All of Ingrid's videos are so aesthetically pleasing

[@hannahkirk6457]

Great! ANOTHER sponsored video. I wouldn't have a problem with it if she did it once in a while, but she does it all the time now.

[@samiyaislam7393]

ikr and plus the content of her video's is not the same anymore :(

[@hannahkirk6457]

+Samiya Islam yeah it's too bad. I loved her old videos so much

[@samiyaislam7393]

+Hannah Kirk that's why I came and this video wants to make me leave ...

[@Ishasingh19]

What difference does it make if her videos is sponsored or not? Till the time the content is nice, one shouldn't bother.

[@hannahkirk6457]

+Isha Singh I get what you're saying, but she's kind of crossed the line. If she sponsors almost every video it seems not as genuine, like an ad. I love her and will still watch her videos, I just wish she would change a few things.

[@LoveHealthOK]

I loved this video! I love how you captured your LA. Makes me love this city even more! ❤️

[@EarlsFamilyVlogs]

This was so well done! Loved getting to see a little more of LA!

[@AmbyMT]

her brown jacket matches her eyes and I can't get over how gorgeous that is

[@arrowsfitz]

this is one beautiful video!! can't even focus on what's happening!

[@LittleMissCrista]

LA is my home away from home. I'm spending my birthday there next month and this couldn't have come at a more perfect time, I can't wait to check out some of these little places. Beautiful! ♥ #LaLaLand

[@IMLVH]

That's awesome! Happy Early Birthday!

[@LittleMissCrista]

Thank you :) ♥

[@thestephaniegroveman]

Can we just talk about how well this was shot. Props to the videographer! And Ingrid, it's awesome that you're able to partner up with brands you love and tell us about them and on top of that, able to show us around places we might have never been before. I'm going to LA next month and I'll definitely be stopping by a few of these places! Thanks!

[@EndlessWeekendNL]

Ingrid, you did an amazing way of branding in my opinion, it's an honest video and you happen to also show us your hair styles while using Schwarzkopf. I think it's quite natural and people should not feel betrayed. It's not just about the products, it's a lot more. I see the work and effort and also: you need to make money. Really good! Loved it.

[@ShyleneCamacho]

Ingrid is nothing less than a beautiful and smart role model to me. 💛

[@ChelseaPearl]

This was so beautifully shot and edited. I find myself down in LA once a month and I am definitely bookmarking Otium & Winsome for my next trip! 🍴🍸

[@KathyyLeigh]

Why is everyone saying she's changed but not in a good way? I think she has changed in a GREAT way. She's more authentic and does everything with purpose now. Just because she has a couple of sponsored videos, so what? If she didn't believe in the brand/product, she wouldn't bother doing a sponsored video for them. She's still on a journey but I am so proud of her. This is who she is. If you don't like it, unsubscribe. :)

[@bvntzu1]

she just took it all away from us, nugget, vlogmas, donuts.she may have come out but what we really loved, she now is hiding deep inside.

[@whattheheavenpodcast]

You're the first you tuber to show a side of living in LA that is unique. Everyone lives there for KZbin but you have your creative view of the city. Love your style and your unique style of video! Definitely my fav and loved the video! Thanks for being yourself and being true to yourself.. What a great role model! 😊💙💙💙

[@JauntyJuli]

This video was so beautifully and artistically composed. As someone who's never been to California, you've really given me a desire to go! Also loooove the straight hair on you, super posh spice! 😍

[@missmitzijane]

that feel when you're an LA native and you have to learn through transplants about places to go because you're a hermit

[@IMLVH]

haha feel you - I can be a hermit in so many ways sometimes.

[@marissaprice6260]

Loved this & thought the sponsorship was brought in beautifully! Ingrid has to make a living & we all know she wouldn't sponsor a brand she doesn't like. Also, for those of you complaining that she doesn't talk about her life anymore, she doesn't owe us her life story. There are things she's going to want to keep to herself and that's okay. I think she has a great balance between what she shares and what she doesn't

[@AmiAmarantaml]

I'm going to stand up for her!! This sponsored video was great, unlike other youtubers she put effort on it, making it very interesting. I'm sick of people complaining about sponsored videos. Actors/singers are ALWAYS doing that on tv, ads on the street/so on and nobody complains about it. Get over it!!!

[@dreamanddwell]

We moved to Austin from Echo Park a couple years ago and missed so many great spots that recently opened there! That hood will always be my favorite and hold a special place in my heart!

[@emilyvxtoria]

I love Ingrid, and I don't think people should be hating on her, her editing is amazing, and her videos look professional. Sponsors are sponsors, just ignore them! Ingrid is amazing!

[@bextree]

I love the way Ingrid does sponsored videos. They're never just about the product, and as a SoCal native, I found this video really interesting!

[@nhertanto]

Love this, Ingrid! Makes me so excited to come to LA :D

[@MacBBakesTheCakes]

Same :)

[@nhertanto]

Mac B Bakes The Cakes have you been before? :)

[@virakboththeng820]

ive been watching your videos since 2011. you are such an awesome person. you are my spirit animal 💖

[@deligracy]

Loved it :) thanks Ingrid

[@alisonswift3496]

Ingrid your videos are literally so PROFESSIONAL

[@lmmbchampion]

Beautiful! These are the kinds of videos that make me love being subscribed to Ingrid:)

[@AjCardone]

Ingrid's videos are so aesthetically pleasing 💕🌸

[@KennyFortaleza]

idk but the most important thing is this vid felt so positive to me. let her make a living.

[@AngelinaBadalyan]

I love this! Winsome look sooo delish. Def some places I'll visit on my trip to LA! ❤️

[@lindseyreplogle9997]

I love watching your everyday videos. It gives me such inspiration to wake up and be productive so I can be as productive as you.

[@kiracurley4295]

Your videos always make my day better because you're so positive and upbeat!!

[@sincerelysof]

Am I the only one who actually liked this video? I love these types of videos! I didn't even realized it was sponsored -(well only the Shwarzhkopf one, but whatever)- . Keep uploading videos like these! =)

[@laurenduck1489]

I'm seeing a lot of anger and hate in the comments simply because Schwarzkopf sponsored this video... so because she used 3 products in her video it's suddenly crap? um, this is still the great content we've always gotten from Ingrid. She's just making more money and tbh she deserves it. Good job Ingrid

[@Mibrillo]

Is it just me or Ingrid and Carrie look like sisters?

[@Venlo96]

That is what I thought!!

[@iKeto_gal]

She looks like she could be Tati Westbrook's daughter

[@Liliann31]

yessss

[@MacBBakesTheCakes]

Ikr!! :)

[@FrettyAnggeni]

yes! same thought!

[@gracesanders3308]

Ingrid!! ilysm💞 yes you have changed but people go through changes and you are still an inspiration and you do you!! xoxo

[@miss-fh3mz]

does she ever do videos that aren't sponsored anymore? like, you have 4 mil subscribers and i don't think it'd be that hard to get a good paycheck if you just uploaded more vlogs or things like this...without the sponsorship. it just feels like you only do them if you know you're getting an extra check.

[@mandyhaas5853]

Agree!

[@lavenderclairy]

Yea I feel like it's overused. I don't mind sponsorships but when they are in every video it gets redundant and makes me wonder if she really likes what's she's promoting or if she is just doing it for money. Idk, I love Ingrid but I think she needs to chill on the sponsorships😂

[@cgoiq19]

I don't know if I really agree. Being sponsored probably gives her more opportunities to do videos like this, and it's how she makes a living. If she wasn't getting paid for KZbin like she is, we wouldn't see her as much as we do because she wouldn't be able to bring us such regular content. And I enjoyed the video even with the sponsorship! We can't forget that while our favorite KZbinrs genuinely love making videos for us, it's also their job.

[@brookesoldiersunite3325]

+Olivia Carey They and she make a ton w o sponsored vids.Wow upload vids at home how hard.

[@cheryl_Anne_02]

+Claire Dunn I live in So Cal and these are not places the locals frequent... We love the local places that reflect California living.

[@Davidonaa]

I'm actually quite stunned at how beautifully edited this video is. Your lens seemed to enhance the colour beautifully and I loved your clips of the plants and flowers.

[@kateleary130]

It's sad that there is so much hate on such amazing channel. Ingrid is beautiful and wonderful and I just don't understand how people can hate on her so much

[@simplysona]

Aww you were right by my apartment in DTLA. :)

[@travelbesttips1]

Your videos are on a different level 😍

[@mirixx9351]

the way you pronounce Schwarzkopf is just adorable 😂😍 greetings from Germany! ❤

[@akiraburns9906]

Idk why but the slow mo is so satisfying and I love your videos very inspiring and unique

[@NORAH.PREPPYLOVE]

Hey Ingrid, how about an update on living with less. I remember you did a video way back on living with less and was wondering if you are maintaining that life style

[@nynkeariesen7164]

your videos are always so inspiring! watching them always leaves me in this artsy mood ;) you're filming and editing style is gorgeous and the content simple but elegant and entertaining. great job! ♡

[@zutara10]

Hi Ingrid! Just wanted to say; I love your videos! Watching them makes me smile every time. :)

[@AnneScheperssss]

Ingrid, I've been watching your video's for a while and ohmygod you're like starting to be my favorite youtuber, I love you 💓

[@leonieback2158]

hello Ingrid, I'm from Germany and I love watching your videos! your English is very easy to understand for me and I love your editing and the things you talk about! you are a very strong and beautiful woman and you always seem so positive! best wishes xx Leonie

[@dhyancandra991]

you always make like THE BEST videos!! this one is def one of my faves! I love this type of vid 😍😍

[@IrishBookworm100]

The quality of this video is amazing!👍 i love your videos because they're so positive😄

[@Twinbranchesgardening]

Great video Ingrid don't care if its sponsored gives me a few great places to visit if I can get over my travel anxiety LA looks so nice

[@miracat3377]

Thanks for this lovely video Ingrid! You incorporated the sponsored products in a nice way, even though I immediately dislike most products in sponsored videos (not your fault, I just think it's not a good way to advertise). I very much enjoyed this video and the spaces you showed us! You looked great, too!

[@yariiiglecias9093]

I love the way your videos are filmed and edited, congrats! I feel like I've known you for so long and watched you grow into this beautiful human, thanks to your videos I feel like we are besties 💗 You are truly my role model👯

[@mollysheacreative]

Saw the thumbnail and I was like AHH Ingrid and Carrie Rad!

[@Leafveins]

Yaaass! Was thinking the same thing!

[@yolandyu1203]

i went to college in LA. this video brought up some of my great memories. i miss LA, the best city in the world!

[@Retanna92]

It's nice to see you happy, Ingrid. :) Brown lip color looks really good on you!

[@AlizaJayne]

I don't mind ads in videos, but I do wish you put "Ad" in the title at the end or something. Because it's not just funded by them, it is an advertisement for their products, with multiple mentions and demos in the video.

[@AlizaJayne]

When you say "I want to give a quick thank you..." At the beginning of the video, I was under the impression you saying that would be the last you talk about it, then you would move to a more authentic video.

[@567CHRISPY]

The west is the best!! Love LA with all my heart. Born & raised!! 💞

[@sweetiepievlogxx]

Been watching you for years, you are so inspirational ❤️ ily

[@WandererfromSerbia]

Wow, this is so inspiring, Ingrid! Amazing video! 😍 Much love 💋

[@reginam.8777]

I love you Ingrid you are just so calm and happy all the time I feel very happy to be one of your subscriber and I also feel very happy because there is just no hate here plz never stop making videos plz😊😊😊😊😊

[@naomifrediani2750]

You should do more working from home video's. Those are honestly my favorite!

[@snugglebug5274]

I love the pink clouds at the end. So beautiful

[@Avery-zr1tw]

This is such a gorgeous vid. Sponsored or otherwise you put a lot of work into this and it shows. Beautifully shot! Winsome looks so good!

[@TealBeauty7]

Love love love this video!!😍😍😍I've really missed your videos on KZbin so happy to see you posting more😊

[@AndreaLissette]

love this Ingrid! :) totally gotta check those places out next time I'm in LA

[@DailyDoseOfBrenda]

watching your videos always makes me smile, love you ingrid! :)

[@xtumi633]

Okay, enough with the "ad" comments. If Ingrid didn't like the products, she wouldn't be suggesting them. ALSO, if a huge company wants to work with you, you would not say no. Good job Ingrid on the video! I'm visiting next month and loved your video! 💖

[@michaelli8371]

Your voice is so adorable! you inspire me to go outside and do as much things as you can!

[@GetEmTigre]

YES!!!! I've been waiting for this video since your similar NYC video! Yay :)

[@JessicaBieber000]

your hair is so cute when its straight!!

[@fionaviolet3708]

I'm so glad I got to meet you this weekend :) I was a little bit speechless; you come across as so sweet and genuine, but also a total badass (I loved your political tee yesterday) and it was an honor to spend even just a few quick moments with you ❤️ thank you.

[@MaryaZamora]

As soon as I get to LA, I'll definitely go to this places! ❤️❤️ i'm so excited to be there!

[@Ko1234Ed]

OMG why you so perfect Ingrid. I feel like such a potato when i watch your videos lol

[@musiclova568]

such a beautiful video thanks for giving a look into LA from your perspective

[@hcy3964]

The quality of this video is 👌🏻.

[@fridabeauchampmiranda2479]

I love this!!!! So simple and nice ❤️

[@MacBBakesTheCakes]

Agreed :)

[@maikolosav]

Simple???!!!! That was really professional. Too much work in planning, filming and editing has been put into this 5min video!!

[@ashleybotu5]

All these comments are complaining about how awful sponsored vids are but I feel like Ingrid's makes hers seem more authentic than others and a lot like a video she would naturally create

[@TammyWhelan]

I know it's sponsored but I do like this video. I do wish you did a video on what you like as a person and not motivated by $. I do miss the old Ingrid but that the same time the new one is OK too.

[@asmahaq4089]

I love her nails😍😱 And her hair!!!!!😜😗 You are perfect Ingrid

[@Agoraphobication]

Best rules of thumb for L.A.: Super casual during the day (jeans/t-shirt/sneakers or a sundress and sandals) with "natural" make-up and hair. All black for night (cute black top/black pants or jeans/black heels/black leather jacket) with Ingrid's trendy hairstyle and a bold lip. Boom, you'll fit right in. Source: I'm in L.A. on and off year round because my best friend lives there/I constantly get compliments on my style.

[@etheraldee111]

Your soo stunning and inspiring.I love this video , you deserve so many more subscribers.I'm so proud of how far you have come Ingrid

[@mollystrader8298]

I freaking love Ingrid's videos

[@TheOfficialJojo]

I dont get how people hate on this video? Its so beautiful and well thought out :) i love it!

[@shelbysimcha5867]

I feel like Ingrid is fake and trys too hard ever since she came out. It also seems like she has no interest in her videos anymore, not to mention that every video is sponsored. I used to really like her but something has changed. I'm not hating or anything, just sharing my thoughts x

[@samiyaislam7393]

thank you somebody understands me!

[@iKeto_gal]

It doesn't seem as natural but more scripted now...sorta not authentic as she use to be

[@samiyaislam7393]

+LoveNLaughter yeah I wish she could just would chill more with the ads

[@iamieeesha9619]

Agree. It's really weird but she says that since coming out she has gotten a chance to be herself

[@unatacitadecafe]

ikr! ithink is bcs shes really into feminism. she use to be so real and cool, and now honestly seems like that's the only thing she can do

[@gabriellephillips9167]

Ok, for all you people annoyed at Ingrid and her new videos: Sometimes, youtubers need to be sponsored by companies to make da money. After all, IT'S THEIR JOB!!! Also, Ingrid looks super happy, not fake and her videos are great! Why hate?

[@katelynnp123]

I just uploaded two videos about Los Angeles! What a great coincidence ❤️ love you Ingrid!

[@Luckydana1003]

Can't wait for that tutorial!!!💕💕💕

[@luluucupcakee]

This video is amazing, Ingrid! Loving your content

[@_special_k_]

Hi Idgrid! Just wanted to thank you for all of your videos. They really help me to deal with life, which was not great the last year. I love seing pieces of the USA in them and pretending I'm in my dreamland... I hope I will have a possibility to visit it or move there some day. Love you.

[@Alli0910]

this was super aestheticly pleasing and very motivational! Now I'm going to explore my own city 😉

[@cassandrac4592]

I just love the aesthetic shots, Ingrid :)

[@Tashiie12]

i am in love with ingrids outfit with the brown jacket!!!

[@LifeWithKristen]

Your hair is ALWAYS on point! I love it

[@coffeeorrum]

This was adorable. I absolutely cannot wait to live near LA in a year!

[@elisamae3339]

FILMING AND EDITING THOUGH 😍💘
