SAYING GOODBYE | Going back to my roots

It feels SO GOOD to finally so goodbye to a part of my content creation that I've grown to hate. I do still LOVE home decor, and I love sharing my finds with you guys but after only posting dedicated home decor content for 2 years, I have grown to hate it. And hate it so much that I dreaded picking up my camera to film.
While I know a lot of you subscribed for my decor content, I do hope you stick around! I'll still be doing hauls, and decorating BUT it will be integrated in my videos. Not actual dedicated videos if that makes sense. Think , Allison Bickerstaff!
Can't wait to get back to it!

I still remember the video that brought me to your channel. You were doing a cozy fall video and making a warm cozy drink and treats.I have enjoyed your videos throughout and I'm so sorry you have had to endure such negativity. I will continue to follow you on your journey and I'm here for all your cozy content.

[@irmafranke1012]

Brenda your channel is one of the first I started watching. I have screenshots on my phone of your home that I would use as my "goals". I admire you so much for your hardwork and ambition. As a fellow Mexican, I used to say that I wish you were my little sister so I could shop with you and see how you do what you do. At the end of the day, life is short and we all have to do what makes us happy. I wish you nothing but happiness and thank you for helping me make my home beautiful and my haven!

[@cantocant2346]

When you are happy/content, it brings out the hatefulness in some people. It is a sad reality. Do whatever makes you happy and EFF the haters!!

[@deborah5209]

I am so sorry to hear that you were being bullied by who I would call UNHAPPY PEOPLE. Most are probably just jealous! I’ve been watching you for a couple of years now and you have had me running out and trying to find the decor you got as I have LOVED your decorating style. I look forward to WHATEVER content you share with us! It has been wonderful seeing you learn and grow on this channel. Bless you and yours…..ALWAYS 🤩

[@alexboldt4959]

“You can be the ripest, juiciest peach in the world and there is still going to be someone who doesn’t like peaches” That quote is what I keep as my mantra when I feel like someone doesn’t like me for me. You can either be the blandest of flavors to try to appeal to everyone and they will think it’s okay and forgettable , or you can can choose to be your own unique flavor, some people will like it, hate it, or love it but it’s truly you and that’s way more important. And those who are here for it will be that much more invested. I love your cozy videos and appreciate your time thought and energy. Don’t let mean people steal your joy ✨❤️🫶🏻

Brenda I’m so sorry! I’m here for the “coziness”! I wish you the best and I’m looking forward to old/new content

[@rosanunez3449]

Hi Brenda, I don't usually post - but today is a must. F-them! You are doing the right thing by not satisfying them with a reply! They do not deserve it. As for me I love your fashion and decorating sense. Your intsta Bridgerton reels are a blast and I thoroughly enjoy them...I think you got me to finally see that series and I absolutely loved them...( I especially love Queen Charlotte) Anyway...keep on keeping on and do your thing girl! They seek you out and torment you because obviously there's jealousy there...not sure what else it can be.

[@kimmartin2074]

Well Brenda, I just recently came across your videos, making me a new subscriber. I studied interior design years ago and have the abilities but would never have the courage to do what you do weekly on KZbin. I suspect many of these keyboard warriors have neither the courage nor the skill required. My husband and I retired from our grocery store earlier than we would have liked because of the explosion of entitled customers during Covid. What we do for our livelihood should never take precedence over our mental wellbeing. I wish you well and look forward to whatever you may offer in the future. Good luck with that 100,000 goal.

[@danii6811]

Brenda! Do what you love and we’ll enjoy. Thank you for sharing your life with us. You’re a great friend to us all through the screen. ❤

You are truly an inspiration in this home styling world ! I stalk your page a lot because I get so inspiring, those 5% shouldn’t make you stop on something you work so hard to make, some people no matter what are so hard to please and will always find something negative just because is you, they are just hating, you have a beautiful home, a family, a carrier and they are just simply unhappy, if you stop you are letting them win, step back for some and think it trough, maybe you just need a break but is whatever makes you happy at the end ❤

So this just happened...I went to every TV in my home and subscribed and will have my friends and family all subscribe to you. You will get your 100,000 but isn't it sad how people hate. I myself experienced this on FB yesterday. How people took a nice comment I made, on a group I am in, totally out of context and ran with it. I am 63 years old and the World has become a sad place. My prayers are with us all and to you, young beautiful lady, keep on going. You have Class and Style. xx

As a small content creator you don’t have idea how much we need to hear this often because in this home decor community is a lot hate that comes with it. I did addressed a lot times comments very hateful & all I was getting was “Well, you are putting yourself out there so” what that means? If you have value & respect for people you will know how to comment. I been watching you for a long time now & is so sad that you got to this point falling out of love from KZbin but I completely understand. I’m excited to see you going back to your roots, that’s what made me subscribed to you. I cannot wait for more chatting videos, vlogs, all in between!!! You build a solid audience that love you for who you are. We are not going anywhere ❤️
