my secret insecurity, my mom visits LA, & being a taylor swift adult

[@ssleepykids]

bestie you have perfectly normal ears! i know getting over insecurities is so hard, but just know your ears are very cute to this stranger on the internet.

[@KG-ul7nx]

Agree 100%. If you see this comment Carrie, I really appreciate you sharing this insecurity. It's super helpful, because (1) I've watched your vids for YEARS and have never thought about your ears, (2) even now you've mentioned your ears, they look normal and non-memorable to me, (3) it helps convince myself my own insecurities are similarly non-memorable/not-noticeable to others

[@mothmallow]

Just fyi, I love when you talk about the books you're reading. I do not care if you are negative or positive, I just like talking about books and hearing people talk about books. In my opinion all of your vlogs are interesting and all of your commentary on anything is interesting, but you mentioned your concern about it during the book section and I wanted to specifically state that I love that content.

[@thelaundrychat]

when you think of it as your mom and grandma having the same ears it’s so sweet and makes insecurities feel so much smaller 💘💘

[@amandajo3074]

THIS! I used to wish my nose was smaller until I realized it’s my grandma’s nose! 🥰

[@thelaundrychat]

right! Aw that’s so awesome, i definitely need to remember that more often 🤍

[@shellz_2135]

That is so true! I got my bad vision from my dad, and I always hated having wearing glasses when my siblings didn't have to. As an adult I now realize that its special and something I will always share with my pop :) doesn't bother me at all anymore. We even make our eye exams together to help each other pick out our frames. I got his stubbornness too! :)

[@courtneyc314]

When you jumped into the scene after making your coffee, you were glowing! Idk if it was the walk but hello beauty 😍

[@laffydaffytaffy]

I love you and your mom! OMG thank you for sharing her with us - since we all know you do not have to share with us because your privacy is important - SHE'S A GEM!

[@erynelizabeths]

Happy Midnights Day!!!!! I’m curious what your thoughts are on this album!! I am obsessed!!!!! 💙💙💙

[@jlynnharris0725]

Paris and Dear Reader are my top two but honestly I am in love with this whole album💙🔥💙

[@bri9734]

HI CARRIE’S MOM!!!! ❤ *waves violently* hope you had a great visit with your mom!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🫶🏼

[@laurenjohnson4874]

re: Colleen Hoover - I totally agree!! She was SO hyped on reels/tiktok, like people were saying her books were the best they've ever read. I read It Ends With Us over the summer and... I don't know, totally exposing myself here but it read like the Twilight fanfics I used to read in middle school! Little character development, shallow plot line, smutty. I did breeze through it, but also found myself rolling my eyes during a lot of parts.

[@heathermul]

SAME! I kept seeing the reviews of It Ends With Us on tik tok and finally decided to read it and am about half way through! I keep also physically rolling my eyes and thinking “this would never happen” but it’s an easy read to breeze through!

[@Brodys_mom]

reminders of him so good...fav colleen hoover book so far

[@calinique]

Ugh, how cute is your momma! She needs to make appearances more often 💕💕💕

[@amandat8273]

Your whole outfit and “look” in the first part of the vlog is SO GREAT 😊✨

[@dianaadamo5574]

CARRIE!! We want a midnights vlog NOW!

[@dianaadamo5574]

I can not wait to hear your thoughts 😍

[@cara-6828]

Just know you are perfect and those things about you like your head size and ears are the genes that were passed down from your past ancestors that allowed them to live and survive the strong genes are what get passed down so those things you think of as “flawed” truly are beautiful and connects you to all of your family that comes before you ❤️

[@jeanettebiermann1890]

14:40 OMG Moo after he woke up 😭💕

[@charlottemassimillo]

Also. I kinda enjoyed the chaotic energy of this video (and by kinda I mean a lot 😂)

[@liza7459]

Carrie’s mom doing OOTD was the cutest thing ever!!!! ❤

[@ParkParks93]

Insecurities are MENTAL because I've never ever noticed your ears but when you had your hair up I just thought how cute you looked!!! I get it though, I wouldn't wear my hair scraped back off my face for years because I was scared I'd look "masculine"... so stupid! You have cute ears and that Midnights outfit was STUNNING ❤️

[@mrwii5741]

You look really beautiful in those long denim overalls! 😊 awesome job on this video!

[@leannep2688]

So excited!! Happy Taylor swift day!

[@JustCallMeAnnie]

Your hair color looks gorgeous on camera!

[@ingeborgpfeffer6231]

Lol! 2pm is prime nap time!!! 😍 on my days off from work it's always 2pm that I take a nap 🤣 missed your vlogs! Glad u are back! Love from NZ!!! ❤️

[@FefoLove100]

Bestie I come here for random rants that have no point to them 😂 like that’s legit why I love vlogs tbh. So keep rambling away!

[@brookeg5979]

Your ears are literally normal. I'm so sorry that kids bullying you when you were younger scarred you for life. I have a few of those too. It's amazing what sticks with us forEVER from when we are little!

[@jaclyncalderon256]

I’m the same way with books honestly like very intellectual books are just not what I like. If I ever come across one I find myself having to read over a sentence twice to understand it and I don’t like that. I want to read something easy and something that just puts me at ease to where I can actually get into the book

[@Hjg936]

You look so pretty with brown/dirty blond hair! I’m ready to your brunette era

[@CarinRenee]

Actually love ur slick back moment ❤🥰

[@Chewtubehuskyhouse]

‘I literally can’t stop talking! 😫’: ME, ALWAYS 😂😂🙃

[@jf-s7809]

Awww your mum is so cute!

[@deannahohenbery5649]

Christina Lauren books will give a boost of serotonin without the ick factor 🙌🏻🙌🏻 I haven’t read one of theirs yet that I haven’t loved

[@jadeelizaishere]

I just finished Something Wilder by them today. I wasn’t really expecting much, but I was blown away. Wonderful book.

[@deannahohenbery5649]

@@jadeelizaishere that's on my tbr for sure! I've read the unhoneymooners, autoboyography, and josh and hazels guide to dating and they are all 5 stars for me

[@avocadoll7285]

carrieeeee! for what it’s worth, i was literally thinking omg your ears are so cute in that hairstyle before you started talking about your insecurity?? weird complement but true???

[@squareceecee1750]

Gurl!!! My ears aren't big but man do they stick out! So I totally get it! I absolutely do my hair to hide them. I can't even put a hat on because the bottom burst out 🤣🤣🤣

[@daratiffany8412]

I love when you throw in book reviews! I also read just to numb my mind and therefore, I typically read silly little romance books or whatever is popular/suggested on TikTok. It doesn’t make you any less of a reader just because you’re not cracking open a Hemingway novel or something. I want to actually relax while reading lol

[@kathleenreynolds7113]

Aww ❤ momma so beautiful ur overalls are so adorbs

[@Vitanyl]

I would never notice your ears, for me there are just regular pare😁 I whatched your recent trying jeans video and thought i like this clean girl look on you! Also loved Midnights!! Hope to hear your thoughts, my favorite is Labyrinth and Midnight rain💜

[@jenniferpurslow2131]

Midnights outfit perfection

[@WonderKitty24]

Check out Zodiac Academy if you like magic/fae in an adult atmosphere, and One of Us is Lying for a more high school mystery.

[@stellakizito6541]

Surprising ending but yes gets better you connect with Kenna a lot more towards the end x

[@oliviarowe9305]

Totally get insecurities, but your ears look perfectly normal to me! I also have a big head though and struggle find hats that fit, so I do see you in that struggle lol

[@victoriasowa2396]

In terms of book fluff, have you read Anna and the French Kiss and other books by her?

[@jaymiedepace7773]

You are beautiful with your hair up❤️❤️❤️

[@Laalaalaa10]

You have normal ears Nothing you say is pointless, personally I love watching your blogs for comfort and kind of as a form of escape too? Kind of like how you’re reading to turn your brain off, that’s how I feel personally. Anyway! Happy to have you back! Midnights is awesome!

[@punkybrewstar83]

I think that your ears are gorgeous- you're gorgeous. However- I have insecurities too and I know that sometimes it can really make it feel hard to relax if they are "on display". My ex used to get these things online that stuck behind your ear back to your head- like a temporary pinning- so yeah- you could try those.

[@dsf114]

I never noticed your ears. They look good to me. And I love your hair up or back.

[@devanrollyson7994]

Read daisy Jones and the six!! It's not smut but it's pretty much perfect .

[@janaeetaylorr]

Oh my god I was called dumbo as a kid too because of my ears! I have the same insecurity about my ears because of it.

[@BeautycaReviews]

Legit wouldn’t think to even look or think about your ears until you mentioned them! 😅 they deffo just look like ears to me 😄

[@carolynchorley2247]

Does anyone have recommendations for an E-reader?? I want to get one for Christmas. I need something that is bright and clear. IS the Kindle Paperwhite worth the hype????

[@atomicchick061]

You’re LITERALLY stunning queen ❤

[@sannielison4868]

I was literally just about to cry bc of a dumb, feeling very down on myself day.. and then I saw a new vlog, and now can at least delay the crying 😅

[@brittanymendoza8830]

You could literally talk about paint drying and I'd be perfectly entertained and content.

[@maddy27285]

Moo is too cute!!! 😻

[@kt4ever02]

In Korea(and probably Asian culture), if you're born with big ears its a sign of good life and prosperity; and also, a leader. 🐘🙂

[@lindsayv64]

“Peep the latte” I died

[@deesmith7880]

I also have big ears! They are also lop-sided so sunglasses always look crooked. Welcome to the club! Your ears are beautiful, btw x

[@evakrda123]

You should try reading some F/F or M/M books!

[@lilybeth4643]

Please read a court of thorns and roses series!!!!! The best smut

[@clairechocolate12]

Hell yeah we asked for a book review! 🥰

[@jpyep]

if you watched The Girls Next Door, you need to listen to the podcast Girls Next Level

[@charlottemassimillo]

Omg your mom is adorable!! And you guys have the same smile! 🥰

[@lestranged]

I got called Dumbo too and my ears are not even large. My earlobes are a little bit fleshy , but not like, freakishly big or anything. Kids are just little shits. Anything even the teensiest bit different will be pounced on and made fun of.

[@sheelfjohnson]

Dumbo twinsie here👋.(I was called that when I was in ballet and we had to have our hair in a bun). I think yours look better than mine bc mine also stick out. They were probably one reason I quit ballet at 12, which I regret. 😖

[@heatburg]

You are 100% allowed not to like characters or whole books. I know people harshly critique you for your opinions all the time, but that doesn't mean you aren't allowed to have them or that you should feel the need to apologize. I want to know what you think -- that's why I'm watching your videos.

[@sandys6379]

Omg I usually leave my hair down for the same reason! 😂😂

[@HannahTyson]

If you are looking to branch out from Colleen Hoover, I just read SUCH a good book. It’s called Rock Paper Scissors by Alice Feeney and it’s a psychological thriller about a couple. It’s so so good and I didn’t want to put it down, 10/10 would recommend

[@Kpup]

Loved that book!

[@Pinkponyresistance]

Okay, so, read Verity and I liked it but (and idk what this says about me) I liked It Ends With Us more. I know I'm about to get some shade from the book tok girlies🤣

[@elizabethmurphy9666]

Excellent romance books to escape into- ANYTHING by Jasmine Guillory.

[@c.j.boswell4593]

Reminders of him is my fav Co Ho book

[@sofiadipz]

Moo on your lap at the end is just what I needed today 🥲 you should try the love hypothesis or The No Show if you haven’t already!!

[@violetedwards38]

I'm such a big swiftie and I somehow scored tickets to see Taylor on Jimmy Fallon?! I've seen her twice in concert but never been this close to her I think I'm gonna ball my eyes out!!!! Also my favorites on midnights so far: lavender haze, anti-hero, karma, vigilante shit, and maroon

[@amberbeasley2527]

Love your content especially on the vlog channel, I love how relatable you are, all the little things you share it’s nice to know your thoughts on life

[@judithmacglashan1782]

U have pixie ears, they’re cool. Also, if u wanna talk big head…..my head is 24inch circumference 😂 📏

[@GildedButterfly]

They kind of look like realistic elf ears and it’s the cutest thing ever!! 🥹🥹 Not that it matters but I would never look at you and think you had big ears 😂.

[@JRODRIGful]

If you want corny and easy to read i suggest “Beach Read” by Emily Henry

[@sarahr7473]

I got you. Read: the hating game, book lovers, the very secret society of irregular witches.

[@moshiergirl]

I liked Reminders of Him a lot.

[@kathiiuhhify]

LMAO!! my ear used to be an insecurity because they are smaller than everyone else's ears :( I used to want so many piercings, but since they are smaller than most peoples, it just looked so saturated with earrings and not as cute that it would bring me down. hahahaha big ears or small ears, seriously we will just never be happy.

[@maureena9611]

Thanks for doing your book review - it makes me feel not alone, lots of these books are making me roll my eyes too

[@kaylatiede3953]

Literally enjoy every single one of your vlogs no matter what you are doing!! Your videos make me so happy and inspired! Love you girl! 🥰🥰🥰

[@kittykerri]

OMG Carrie! When you were saying you don’t like your hair up & I was going to comment that I love your look today & that you look very chic with your hair slicked back. Then you started talking about your ear insecurities… I have never noticed and even as you talk about it still do not notice or think they are big. Rock that look Girl! You are beautiful!

[@danam2364]

The Layla and Moo cameos are everything! ❤ Reminders of Him…did she do a horrendous thing? 🤔 I loved that book because I, sadly, found it very relatable to my parents and my childhood.

[@r666sie]

idk if you're aware but colleen hoover's son SAed a 16 year old girl and she's been trying to silence the victim :/

[@cristicruz2938]

Always here for the Moo and Layla content!!! Also maybe it’s my wonky attention span but I love hearing people’s recaps about things like books I'll never read lol

[@saracolladovalero8579]

Literally I’m freaking out about this album… so great you are a swiftie too😍😍

[@alliewithbooks]

I’ve been loving hear you talk about books lately!! If you’d like some more diverse (and fun) books, let me know! I’d love to give you recs 😊

[@megles6]

REMINDERS OF HIM- AMAZING. It was my first CoHo book & I’m OBSESSED. Just keep goinnnngggg.

[@ashtonheardthat]

i really liked reminders of him! it was my first co ho books/first kindle book/helped me finally get back into reading!

[@theresaryan4653]

I’m with you on the reading. I want an escape from the craziness in the world right now. I want an easy, light read…nothing heavy. Love your videos.❤️

[@isabelrivera6891]

I mean if you did have big ears you could hear Taylor Swift better in theory. But your ears look perfectly normal

[@loisskinner4417]

Always enjoy your vlogs and views of LA 😍

[@mothmallow]

If you are looking for a book that is fun, interesting, makes you feel less awful about the world, has some smut, and has great bisexual representation, I recommend One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston. I've read all of their books and they are all great honestly, but that one is my favorite and the most unique.

[@lynndunlop2071]

Got my vaccine COVID booster #5, flu shot, shingles, pneumonia and now tetanus.

[@jessicabeach1425]

I so think you should dye your hair darker! Also, I’m personally not a fan of Colleen Hoover’s writing style. I just don’t think it’s all that compelling - but the books are quick reads!

[@victoriadixon3371]

thats crazy to think of since i never even thought your ears were big and honestly still dont see it but ik we are the biggest critics on ourselves

[@sandys6379]

Have you read “Every Summer After?” It was a pretty good light summer read! Where the Crawdads sing is another great book!

[@jessdenoia]

Just want to clarify that, even though you feel like no one cares about what you're saying, I legit woke up this morning and wanted to be cozy & was like, "what would make this morning the best?" The answer was binge watching your vlogs! I love hearing your perspective and am super grateful you're a creator! Lots of love

[@AmandaF]

I think even if you go dark, the red will be a factor… Maybe get some advice from a professional colorist? Idk much but I am friends with my hairdresser lol so rely on her 😅 Love your videos C!!
