Sending love to you too!

[@lyn93yo]

Your videos are always both a slow down and an inspiration for me. It’s your energy, not the content ❤

[@karinaa.9755]

Yes you do you! And girl these videos are not boring they are very relaxing and inspiring! I wish you well through this journey:)

[@Lina_5_]

[@hillaryn6080]

As a mom of an almost one year old … enjoy these last few weeks and soak in the newborn months. They go so fast!! It’s a remarkable and fantastic journey!

[@lizl5195]

Thanks Kalyn! I love your vlogs and you keeping us updated on you and what's going on with you 🙏🏼🥰 We basically grew up together, you're my youtube bestie, even tho we haven't met haha but I like knowing how you're doing and what's going on and just hanging out 🙏🏼 All the best, Liz Ps: I'm doing good, I'm working and learning, doing a further education and growing emotionally and figuring out what I wanna do next haha It's all chill and without stressing myself and just easy peasy, lemon squeeze

[@carriehagstrom9777]

I could never get bored of your gysting vlogs (nor vlogs in general)! They give me the perfect cozy mood I always want, crave and need!

[@amandabee2246]

Your vlogs are so peaceful it just sets my mind up for the day. Me and my 6 month rainbow baby are hanging out early in the morning watching and he's even interested aha

[@YourGreenLady]

sooo Ready for the New Moon Literally I'm having a GYST day today. Perfect timing for this video.

[@josieseeger8387]

I love seeing all of the little snippets of your life, it feels like checking in on a long distance cousin. My soon to be 5yo boy and i are in B.C. so its hot right now in our mountain/ forest home we are doing a lot of painting and crafts. Sitting my balcony with cauldron of GYST juice wishing you love and a great day 💛

[@loomonda18]

[@dileksukucuk]

I love watching life updates. July went by so fast. These days I try to stay positive and hope my dreams come true

[@laney7776]

I love that you are talking about your koze community and what it has to offer! Looks like a beautiful community that hopefully, I can join one day!

[@linibara1672]

i really needed this right now! your clogs soothe my mind so incredibly much, i get to fully focus on one thing at a time (unlike tiktok etc) while being y relaxed and not having to put ‘effort in’ (unlike reading etc) i love love love your videos, i can’t even explain how much they have helped me these past few months!! just before watching this video, i was spiraling because i signed up at the gym today and tiktok kept showing me videos of fit, perfect, muscular girls and i started wondering whether i will ever get there and how my clothes will fit when changing my body is NOT my goal AT ALL! crazy how comparing yourselves to others deranges your picture of yourself.

[@raeofsunshine7291]

kalyn we love the gysting vlogs haha we love anything you film for us!

[@amyac6669]

wow I havent watched your videos in a while Ive been so busy with life so greatful to watch one today.

[@zdesta79]

I always enjoy your vlogs and it’s been so fun seeing this chapter. Time has flown by this year - some things have been kinda up in the air with life, so just trying to take it day by day. Started a new video game stray and it’s been a fun time.

[@marthelea]

I'm trying to chill as much as possible, also while watching The O.C. this summer 📺 and I'm so glad you watched Brave! 🏹 What do you think of it? 💚

[@KalynNicholson]

It was so good!! Perfect weekend movie

[@alyssanelson7437]

My birthday is a week from Saturday and I get to go to Chicago and see my favorite artist. I am trying to adopt an infant since my chances of having a baby are very slim but it’s hard to adopt a baby in Nebraska. Might foster for a little bit just a lot to process through. So I’m very excited for my trip next week.

[@shalaka.5963]

I just want to give you a massive hug I'm so proud of you for handling the uncertainty and chaos so beautifully, forever an inspiration ❤️

[@melissaboisvert4426]

Also LOVE your vlogs no matter what! I can not believe this summer is going so fast. I think I’m ready to journey to a new job! Not exactly sure what yet but I’m excited!

[@bellaaaaFrAnCy95]

Love your vlogs! ☺ And I'm so happy for you 🥰

[@kokiblog1804]

Love all your vlogs, this one was fun and much needed 🥺💛 can't wait to watch you on this journey of motherhood 💞💞💞

[@poppycalliope]

Your vlogs always feel like a warm hug! ✨️ 💕

[@Maroon58]

Currently in a house remodel so definitely can feel your pain lol. They always take longer than it says and having people in/out all day is sometimes stressful! Happy watching GYST videos especially the cooking parts! I need to meal prep too.

[@marialopes134]

Always showing up when i need you

[@derudesu212]

Always love the gyst content or whatever you enjoy sharing in the vlogs! I'm about 2 weeks away from my own due date ahhhh! We got this ❤️❤️

[@hobbit_lilly]

i will never tire of GYSTing vlogs. i love them! currently doing a bit of a self care weekend myself as i prep to go into a week of working overtime at work. but other than that just enjoying life, playing video games, and hanging with my cat.

[@VeronicaCostaF]

Love these vídeos. I'm in my second trimester and I'm feeling a little bit more energetic finally. Everything is well with the baby which is the best

[@talakh9951]

Me and my husband is trying for a baby and it really warms my soul to see your vlogs and to see a familiar pretty face across the street, you’re so calm and positive and thats what i like about you

[@meganb4898]

Never bored K ❤️ you are an inspiration and your podcasts and videos have more than often helped me deal with difficult days. So thank you ❤️🖤❤️

[@nadezhdadzhorova6658]

August 😭. It happens so fast and also when I look back at the beginning of July it's like ages ago. I finished what I wanted to in July 🤞🏻 hopefully I'll finish everything untill the end of it. And August I actually don't know it's kinda of scary. I was writing my master's thesis for so long I'll have only some touching work next month and now not being on "schedule" every day is freeing but also boring. 😄

[@laina-brown]

A self care weekend sounds amazing! It gets pretty tricky as a mom. I would settle for 2 hours also...

[@sophiekloppsowa1138]

what a beautiful and pure mommy you already are♥️ love noodles and the movke brave too😍🌱

[@naatie22]

So nice to watch a relaxing vlog 🥰 asif it’s already August next week😩 summer has gone by so fast, but the rainy days are definitely giving me harry potter marathon vibes🖤

[@stajabelcher6188]

Love your vlogs! I enjoy all of them. I feel this year is the year of huge changes for so many people. Me included. Moving to a new place. Was supposed to get married in august but we both ended up going separate ways. Huge challenges to overcome but a lot of your videos are helping out things in perspective! 🤗

[@NasiaGeorgakopoulou]

I enjoy so much watching your life journey thank you for sharing and many kisses from Greece!!!

[@indra823]

I love your vlogs so much. I always look forward to your vlogs as inspiration and motivation to do some gysting. I've finally finished the second year of my degree. Gonna do some tech decluttering to prepare for my upcoming 3rd year.

[@sarak6497]

I love your vlogs, no matter the GYST, life updates, or B-roll.. feels like I'm catching up with an older sister. I'm almost done my first year of my Master's degree, so it's crazy to think about this!! Simultaneously working on combatting my depression and getting myself back towards my best self that I know I can be. Just trying to take care of myself, just like you are ❤❤sending love!!

[@toogee143]

Kalyn you look so beautiful pregnant 😭❤️ last time I saw your videos was when you were living with Larissa 🥺

[@lucyegal256]

this is exactly what i needed on this lovely wednesday summer evening here in lovely manchester currently cooking some pasta for me and my girlfriend and you've given me all of the vibes, I hope you are well and you are taking it easy can't wait to meet baby bear. Sending all of the love to the moon and back. Lu

[@leannesmith1207]

Love GYST-ing and life updates! And just love following your life journeys in general. Very wholesome and inspiring. Also yay Brave! My native tongue dialect is in there, what Young Macguffin says lol!

[@HelenaTD]

I'm 35 weeks pregnant and my boyfriend is gone for 5 days. He's going at Sand Banks with his bros while he still can haha planning on having a gyst/baby prep/me time while he is gone 😊 great vlog as always 🥰

[@cynthiaanastasianadia7352]

Excited to see you become a mother, Kalyn! This year has been a roller coaster for me with new commitments: adopted a fur baby, pursuing my masters.. But nonetheless excited for August because it is finally "salt air and the rust on your door"

[@kjuleesss3911]

Love this vlog 💕 I’m actually going to get a pedicure tomorrow lol

[@chantalmarie6636]

Love your GYSTING videos and you❣️🖤

[@saraann4489]

Such a good movie!

[@ameliaevink5484]

This summer has been such a whirlwind!! We just purchased our first house back in May and every night and weekend has consisted of renovations. My littlest one, Atlas, has been growing like a weed and is SO close to crawling! My oldest, Sirius, is going to be SEVEN on Aug 18th!

[@archigal]

You announced your pregnancy in the time of the year when my semester (at college) started and since then I was so busy all the time that I'm shocked how fast your baby grew lol 😂 Your due date is in less than a month 😱 I wish you all the best! I'm following you since 2016 I think and now you're gonna have a baby 😭💖

[@mamdouhyassen1305]

Thanks to all

[@miss88keys7]

Your picnic looks so nice!its 110 degrees in Oklahoma (I think that’s 43 ish in celsius) so a picnic would just be so sweaty and uncomfortable here 😅

[@dinatam4284]

Sending you much love kalyn

[@Xocheer]

You are going to be the best mom!

[@mirandajb33]

July flew by! I'm excited for August though, my husband and mine's anniversary is the 15th! Also I love these vlogs and your routine one's, thanks for sharing whatever it is you share! 😊 Goodluck on your new chapter coming soon, raising a child is such a blessing 🙌 I love my little girl, she'll be 2 in November. 😞

[@abbeystephan9134]

Love all the vlog content, no matter what it is.

[@theodorewhitehead9037]

I love all your videos.

[@rosiejohnson1096]

always loved these type of flogs, it felt like such a Gilmore vibe🥰 can’t wait to roll into August, i have Dublin to go too and then its almost fall😍 can’t wait to meat baby bear!

[@tanyawessels3205]

Oh my goodness, I'm so glad you asked... where to start? No I'm just kidding, but it's nice to talk about this. I've recently been exploring my social life more, since I haven't really had the opportunity to do so in my past relationship. And because of this I'm starting to loose track of all the things I need to take care of and maintain, like prioritizing my religion, eating healthy and working out, managing my finances and keeping my environment and work organized. It's been really tough on my mental health, considering I'm a few months away from graduating college and entering the adulting phase of my life. I'm excited to get my shit together and start my adulting years right. I will always come back to this channel when I need some tips or just some assurance that everything will be okay. There are some exciting things happening soon, like my Internship program (that also comes with its own challenges) and getting a real job! But I am so excited and happy for you, congrats on your beautiful pregnancy, I was so happy when I found out. I've grown very fond of you and this channel since I was 15 years old, and I hope to watch your beautiful life grow some more, and get some more life hacks and tips from you. All my love, T

[@elizabethaguilarsanchez3910]

My heart is so happy for you ❤️ I been following you since the beginning and I remember you wanting this beautiful journey

[@meganb4898]

Ps - i have your “Feels” book on my home office desk next to me at all times. Dip in and out of it when needed… and you know what, I always find comfort in it 🥰

[@avagreenoak6402]

Wait wait wait! How did you like Brave? I gotta know! I love that movie! Also life has be stressful between work and school. I'm doing a whole life gyst.

[@anna-maymoon1001]

I love gysting with you ❤ they're my fave vlogs bc it motivates me to actually get out of bed and put clothes on and DO my day hahaha Recently I've been feeling Depressed Lite to put it bluntly. And it's SO annoying bc I've had a good month yaknow? I've been social, I've done my job, I've been outside a bit more than usual and like... why??? Its all the crappy symptoms of depression like exhaustion and no motivation and thought spiralling then crying when you're trying to sleep. And it'd like there's literally nothing wrong wtf??? I feel like I'm losing my mind 😅 Usually when I come down with the sads there's something I can fix and then it goes away. This time I'm like... I have nothing to be stressed about wtf??? So yeah... self care weekend coming up 😅 (I do have a therapist so hopefully she'll be like "did you think about this obvious thing???" And ill be like "ooooohhhhh that explains it") 🤦‍♀️

[@RJ-it4hz]

I love these vlogs! They help calm me down and give me ideas for my own self care and GYSTing. Tonight I'm going to my first ultrasound! I'm 11 weeks pregnant and can't wait. I'm hoping this makes it all feel real because right now it definitely does not 😅

[@rcf1989]

Love your vlogs! 🥰🥰

[@KalynNicholson]

Thank you 😊

[@kaitlyntorgerson4533]

Can we expect any fall/Halloween videos this year?:) I know baby will be in the world soon so I understand if not. Your fall videos are some of my favorites🎃💀

[@leia710]

Adored the vlog!!! does anyone know what song is playing at 4:55 ? I've been looking and I can find it😭

[@AnninaMelissa]

Wishing you all the best @Kalyn! Not long now!

[@epicherbalism]

I want to feel like self care is cleaning/organizing...not there yet 😂 But I know that after it all it will feel good

[@jada3971]

Omg what is the song playing during the picnic around 5 or 6 minutes? It’s beautiful and I need to listen to it on repeat for 6 hours

[@ashleequillen]

do you think there will be a second catcher book? 🥰

[@leabeckman3558]

My life updates work has been busy, I found out my co worker is pregnant again. My aunt melody is getting married this Saturday. I’ll be at her wedding and spending time with my siblings. In august my younger half sister and step sis are going on a European trip for two weeks in Spain. I’m currently not dating anymore. I don’t want to deal with psychological mind games from men I dated. I’m legitimately going to focus my life and hopefully I can be financial free next several months. If I’m willing to save up enough. Also this coming November I’m gonna vote.

[@tourmalinequeen5252]

What is that rice pot called you were cooking in?

[@lilyparker6143]

Bored with GYSTs??? Impossible ❤️

[@samanthakaufman1848]

Tired of gysting & lift update vlogs?? Girl, do you know your audience. We love this shiz 🤣💙 keep em coming!

[@KristensClassroom]

You look so beautiful :)

[@jojotacotuesday]

I've been following you for quit sometime now and i love all your videos. I was so excited to find out that you were pregnant and i also found out i was pregnant with my second child around the same time. I've been having a rough time recently because i have been in hospital due to a condition called complete placenta previa. This being said i have to have my baby earlier than expected at about 36 weeks unless i start bleeding again. My original due date was September 1st and is now set for August 4th. Your videos always keep me so motivated and encourage me to strive to be better with my self care. Wishing i would have done more before i ended up here to get ready for my second baby girl. I'm very excited to see how everything ends for you. Thank you for what you do and best of luck 💙💙
