[@serenitybeats1677]

“Body neutrality” helped me detach my worth to my looks especially as a woman. I saw a TikTok that said, ”If my face got ruined by a fire, what would my self worth be rooted in?” We are way more than our bodies, in fact, it’s our souls that make us special. So no matter how negatively or positively you feel about your body, you are worthy and good. When I exercise, I practice telling myself I’m doing it for my health, not appearance. Also, you articulate your thoughts so well even when you’re speaking off the top of your head…I’ve been overthinking and rewriting this simple post for 8 minutes 😭 Loved the video ❤️

[@powersxoxo6437]

I love this!! This just helped me with my insecurities. Thank you for sharing 💖

[@taajahtalks6326]

Love this !!!!!!

Thank you for this ❤️

[@LynetteAdkins]

Yesss this is such a good point! And thank you! Tbh all my vids are me spending an hour + trying to get my point across and editing it down to 10-15 mins hahaha

[@LidiaExplores]

Yes! Letting go of all that insecurity is SO liberating. I have changed some things that I've wanted to change. I've accepted what I can't change. I feel totally comfortable in my own skin, and that's really only happened in the last few years. Thanks for always creating quality content.

[@LynetteAdkins]

That is amazing!! Suchhh a liberating place to be in you're right!

[@iamsyd4170]

I’m literally crying right now because I’ve realize how negative I talk about myself. Thank you for this Lynette this really shift something in me😭😭😭

[@LynetteAdkins]

We all have been there, it's something I'm definitely still working on myself. But we got this❤

[@hellothere8347]

I use to obsessed over getting thick! I tried everything to help me grow and the weight never sticked so every since I started going on my spiritual journey I became confident And love me! I realize I’m in control

[@khalilahd.]

Sometimes tough love is the best love. You always give me the kick in the butt I need and this is one of those times 💛

[@chibichiquita]

you are so pretty!!

[@chibichiquita]

i clicked your page and i love the style of vlog that you do i wanna do something along those lines with music. super cool song on the video that came up when i clicked your page! I had never heard it before!! I subscribed :)

[@daniqsaa]

Plus when you realize what a distraction it is? Like why am I wasting my energy being insecure, when it literally doesn't matter to the way I feel? I mean it feels so nice to take care of myself and to hype myself up -- but that's where it ends. Anything more is actually harming me and defeating the purpose, which is to be happy 😇

[@LynetteAdkins]

Sooo true

[@avneet2.0]

Knowing how to differentiate between reality and what social media portrays is so important! Also, treating yourself in a kind manner helps a lot with confidence and your aura! :)

[@rabtechtutorialvideo]

Hey 👋🏿

[@comeclowe]

Beauty is your own standard. Let's push that narrative. Period.

[@NYKIRA]

Yes! 🌞

[@terynaliya]

I absolutely agree. I think the first step is getting rid of negative self talk. Once you do that it’s just uphill from there.

[@dominiquetatefitness]

You’re literally my soul sister. Have been sharing your channel with people since I’ve been subscribed to you. You’ve helped me more than you know. Love you, sincerely! 🤎🌱✨

[@jessicapena2142]

Omg I lost my front tooth 🦷 and was toothless for 6 months! I had To shift my view of myself during that period. I did a get ready with me video called “I lost my tooth and had a spiritual awakening” and it’s soooo similar to this. Thanks for speaking on this as a influencer. You are truly one of those BEAUTIFUL influencers that is internally and externally beautiful. Keep being you!

[@NYKIRA]

sounds like a powerful experience, I wonder what meaning was behind losing your tooth and I am glad you overcame it too ❤

[@jessicapena2142]

@@NYKIRA For me, It helped me align with my highest self. I had to talk to 80 year old me a lot in that period to make sure I was loving and understanding of myself when I looked visually "unappealing" in the eyes of society. Since then I KNOW I will age with grace and beauty, the type that transcends societies image of that. Sounds corny, but it's true.

[@NYKIRA]

@@jessicapena2142 sounds beautiful.

[@user-jd8ri1de3x]

ms lynette, never misses!! i’ve literally been feeling so insecure lately about my appearance so this is immaculate timing 🥹🤍

[@BrielleJuliet]

Honestly it is SO refreshing to hear somebody aknowledge that physical changes CAN make a difference. I got a nose job in high school (I was very ashamed and secretive about it because of all the taboo) and not only did it do absolute wonders for my confidence, but it had a very tangible and significant effect on my life too. Whether we want to acknowledge it or not, pretty privilege exists and physical changes can have a positive impact!! “You just have to love yourself” sounds great in theory but I don’t think it’s realistic for everyone in the society we live in to just think their way out of all their insecurities. 100% believe if you have the resources to do so and are smart about it, physical changes can be great. Anyway, rant over, loved this video!!

[@doricashu4984]

Thank you for sharing this Brielle ❤️

[@lexxalexus3415]

I really enjoyed this video self reflection is real! Having confidence was a struggle for me when I was younger but now I love myself so much more

[@AboutBritney]

I'm ok with what I'm not ok with about my body. If it can be changed I'm going to change it when I can (it's literally one thing). And if not, it is what it is. I'm not influenced by plastic surgery trends because I know something else will be trending in a few years. Even now I'm seeing youtube videos saying that Bbls are "out".

[@powersxoxo6437]

I honestly think instagram culture and media have been detrimental to our mental health and feelings of self worth. Everything being focused on beauty, outward appearance, and material items has caused us to lose focus on what truly matters. Channels like yours are so healthy and really puts everything into perspective. The only lasting relationships and enjoyable moments in life were felt because they enriched our souls, not ego. 💖 if we’ve cultivated a life centered around looks/outer beauty/materials, we would only attract superficial people and energy, and this typically ends in intense unfulfilling experience/emptiness. Such an important conversation. Thank you for sharing💖

[@somyasharma9775]

"Its okay to have things about yourself that you wanna change" 👏🏻 this right here is such a rare statement you find on youtube if you watch videos on the whole "loving and accepting yourself" thing. Literally almost all the lifestyle ytbers keep addressing accepting yourself by completely believing that you should just.... Put the negative aspects of your body out of your mind, like dude that's not possible. Its so nice to see a realistic youtuber out here when everyone is talking about the so-called self love. 💞💞

[@Chloe_x0]

“there’s always a new level of self love you can reach, but, learning to love yourself right now is key” that part !!! 🦋

[@camiepan]

thank you so much for this video lynette. i’ve struggled a lot with my confidence for years, and it’s improved over time, however i still have a bad relationship with my body/food/exercise. social media says we should love and accept every part of our bodies and not give in to societal expectations (and majority of the time, it’s the “perfect” people saying this 🤣), which i think is a really beautiful mantra, but like you said, it’s not realistic. i’ve felt GUILTY wanting to change things about my body because i felt like i should accept myself as i am, so much to the point that it’s made me skeptical of going to the gym regularly and trying to improve my eating habits. thank you for telling me it was okay to be where i’m at. ❤️

[@TianaMarchelle]

I’m finally at that point in my life where I’m loving myself wholly. Yes, I still have things I want to change but I’m not focusing so much on those things. I’m loving my body as is and I’ve been so happy!! Great video Lynette 🤍

[@FashionFletcher]

I LOVED this video. I just did my skin care routine listening/watching this and it was very comforting to hear. You made some great points that I def took note of. More of these, please 🤍

[@NateshasAmbience]

I absolutely loved this video! Your videos have taught me how to protect and respect my energy. I’ve learned to prioritize myself. Thanks for being a vessel! 🙏🏽❤️

[@authenticlyjc]

Hi Lynette! Thanks for being you and being real. The world needs more individuals with a self love mindset.

[@janellelouise]

Yes I used to be so insecure because of who I grew up around. My weight too because I’ve always been naturally skinny and the bbl era didn’t help. Letting go of those insecurities was a process but definitely made me feel a lot better. Great video❤️

[@sonali.malhotra]

Loveddddd thank you for this 💖🥺. Also for makeup using the bare minerals tinted moisturizer over other face products has my face makeup lookin glowy over cakey

[@jupiteryakult]

Love your content and this video, your voice is so soothing and you give great advice. My makeup tips: as someone who has loved makeup for 10 years, if you feel like your face looks cakey, try using a hydrating primer or a good moisturizer before your face products! Also finding a setting powder you like that blurs the skin (I love the Laura mercier) helps a lot, and try using a damp sponge to blend!

[@Itsbellelove]

Girl yes , the journey of womanhood has so many variables and ultimately what is “right” for that journey has to align with who you are AND who you want to be . Shamelessly ❤️

[@amizizi4715]

This

[@outlinehappiness]

3 years ago I went from perfect skin to post pill severe acne. I realised then that my confidence was an illusion and entirely reliant on my appearance. It was at that time that I was also following an excessive amount of IG accounts of women who I thought I "appreciated" their beauty and style, but really I was comparing myself and it was feeding into an insecurity that I wasn't completely conscious of. Although it's been an emotional journey, that I'm still on, its been incredible for me in becoming more conscious and intentional about building my self-esteem, confidence, and making healthy lifestyle choices for myself. As well as separating this idea of my worth being based on my physical appearance because let's face it, no amount of skincare is going to stop the ageing process! Beautiful video.

[@marygraceolu]

Youre always so on time with these videos. I just love you and your content sooo much. You speak to my heart🤍

[@anysaleandra]

I feel like this came with perfect timing because I have been struggling with my self-image lately. Like I know I'm pretty, but sometimes I (feel like) I'm not. My natural hair Is something that makes me insecure sometimes, and I've also been feeling self-conscious about my weight as well lately. So It's just so many things, that I struggle with these days, and then you came out with a video exactly about this topic and it's just a reminder that I'm not the only one who is dealing with their insecurities lately. I'm working on accepting myself a little bit more each day, There's always something new I learn to accept and love about myself each day.

[@LuxandReal]

Love your content!! Thank you for this one!! A few makeup tips I can give is 1- prep your skin before application. A good moisturizer and primer / setting spray 2- set your makeup with setting spray when you’re done 3- always blend your eyeshadow really well, it makes the biggest difference 4- lipliner is a must! Use with gloss or lipstick. It makes a huge difference ❤️ xx

[@Kayw2188]

Same on the skin tip. I let my skin get so bad trying to heal it naturally and I ended up trying Apostrophe too! I’m on my fourth week of meds and the changes are already fantastic. Apostrophe helped me more than the dermatologist I was seeing in person for a year 😭 can’t wait to hear your end results!

[@brittanyy.robinsonn]

Started to watch your videos today, and I’m so thankful I came across your channel. I just entered a new season of life and your helping motivate this new season that I’m in and I reaaaaallllly appreciate this breathe of greasy air and feeding my mind with this! Thank you so much 💫🙏

[@kirstcurrie]

Hey thank you for sharing--especially when you shared how you're still wanting to learn more about beauty application, etc while demonstrating your personal routine. I personally love my beauty routine and sometimes contemplate sharing, but stop myself because I don't view myself as a "Beauty blogger". But your video shows how it's fine to show as we are and be damn proud of it. You're lovely, thanks for sharing your message :)

[@brennasimmons1644]

This is the first KZbin video I’ve ever commented on lol. You are by far my favorite KZbinr you put out the BEST content. I love the vibe of your channel you always leave me feeling inspired, confident, earthly spiritual … I could go on. I hope you see this and really take in how impactful you are. Can’t wait to continue to watch you grow, I’ve been watching for a while

[@esmeraldamejia2920]

Wow, this video during what I’m experiencing with myself now. 🙏🏽

[@Ultra_violet2222]

Finding your channel has been a massive blessing ty for existing :)

[@jessicaveeno]

I've completely changed my skin and body over the last few years, and in changing your appearance, I think the #1 factor for results is really just 'feeling good'. Get up in the morning, wash your face, explore and land on a skincare routine that makes you feel good in the process; the texture, packaging, affordability, everything. Also, pushing through exercise you find boring and unbearable will probably not give you the fastest results. You need to find one that's fun for you. In this way, everything comes down to feeling good in the process.

[@taylordemee]

i felt you with the skin insecurity. i am dealing with adult acne, never had acne growing up, and i just had to break down and get some topical medication. idk why i was so against it… i kept thinking i could heal it on my own bc i didn’t want to become reliant on the meds. i feel so much better now that my skin has improved greatly!

[@thedeliberatecocreator2833]

YOOOOOOOO i am same grateful for your videos

[@jamilavibar9698]

You should try Al Makiage - Matte All-Natural Concealer/Foundation. I highly recommend it❕

[@lb7151]

This is very helpful especially to young women in today’s society

[@HellaBella]

My self talk has been so terrible the last few years. I constantly beat myself up about my weight. I lost 50 lbs but gained it all back after about 5 years and now I’m starting over from nothing. It’s so discouraging because I feel like I failed myself. I notice that on the days I’m nice to myself, I do much better on my diet and workouts. I don’t do it out of self hatred but instead out of self love. I am motivated to make the changes that I need to make, but I’m also going to love myself in the process! ❤️

[@lyndsayrodriguez1962]

i LOVE this and it really helped me :) if you want your makeup to be less cakey it helps sm to use a primer then use a damp beauty blender (use setting spray on blender) then powder then spray to set it all :)

[@scarlettruiz6702]

This is the best video about confidence!

[@theeuniqueperspective]

Sigh you talked to my soul pertaining to this skin ish. I been feeling less confident since coming back from a vacay and my face has not bounced back, and keeps peeling plus has begun to become discolored. I will look into that brand.

[@Chloe-zj5bl]

perfect timing. our brains are in sync

[@roccafille]

I do think true beauty comes from with in. But I also get what you are saying about skin or something else that looks different then the standard. I think most people have something beautiful whether it is something from the outside or inside. What really helps me out is to be as friendly and kind as possible to people you come across with. Being loving to people helps to love yourself. Like you were saying if people are negative around you sometimes the most loving thing is to cut ties with them. It’s loving towards yourself and them to because negativity is not good for anybody ❤️. Love your content, great video!

[@itsvbitches]

loved this video this is definitely something I have been thinking about lately and becoming aware of the thoughts that are happening in my mind and knowing that they are not really me and starting to redirect and consciously choosing to insert the opposite is hard work but I can already feel a difference. sometimes when I become aware of a new belief that I had been carrying for so long I get discouraged or like sad but I have come to realize the when I become aware of this belief this is exactly what I have been asking for so I can fully release this and create new beliefs for myself

Thanks for all the positive energy you put into your videos and for sharing your life so openly with us! You asked in your video for any makeup information that could be shared with you.
