About the skinny jeans, the trends on social media differ greatly from real life. Most people I know still wear skinny jeans and whatever they have in their closet, it’s not normal to get a new wardrobe every season

[@april1947]

right now jeans styles are way more diverse than I've ever seen them and it's so awesome because anyone can fine whatever style that works for them

[@brandyjacob5926]

I still wore skinny jeans throughout the whole baggy jean thing. Nobody said anything so it just seems normal. I never really liked baggy jeans because I just find them to look a little messy and unkempt in certain outfits. And my mom still wears jeans from the 2010s that had those cute back pockets designs, like Y2K style just because they still fit her from years ago. There's no point in throwing things you like out. They all do just come back apparently lol.

[@Fanny-ge6ge]

True! In the shop I go to, you can find a whole section of "Millenial" fashion, with skinny jeans and everything, and right next to it, you have a whole section of "Gen Z" fashion, with mommy jeans and crop tops. It's great, everyone is happy.

[@ChocoBeauty8]

Social media has distorted the self-perception of individuals across all age groups, including adults who are making harmful alterations to their bodies. The homogenization of appearance diminishes the appreciation for unique features. Therefore, restricting social media access for individuals under the age of 18 should be considered.

[@someusername4129]

"2000s skinny" sounds like an eating disorder.

[@Sofritho]

⁠@@someusername4129 Not necessarily. Plenty of people are naturally thin. In the 2000’s and 2010’s I was very thin but I never wanted to be that thin. I had friends hate that I’d eat however I wanted n not gain weight. I’ve had two kids now and I’m still on the thinner side. Just larger lady lumps for the most part and my body in total is healthier looking. I had a thigh gap in the 2000’s. A lot of people thought I was too skinny but I promise there are PLENTY of women who are skinny by nature. I’m happy with my body now and I’d never want to go back BUT I can see why some women would want to get back to a previous weight. The thick trend took over us. Even me at 20 lbs heavier I had a WAGON but I lost them because I cannot keep that weight up unless I’m eating entirely too much and unhealthily. People having a desire to get back to a weight that is natural for them is NOT an eating disorder. Some people with eating disorders might use it as an excuse but that’s not going to be the norm. It’s unkind to accuse people of something so serious with absolutely no evidence. Not to mention a hell of a reach.

I shadowed a plastic surgeon as he was doing a facelift on a relatively young woman and he said it was sad how the younger generation was getting prevention/plastic surgery procedures before they really "need" it.

The verse of the day is so relevant to the video topic. I find that folks often understand “laying down your life for others” is simply serving other people, but in addition to that, the choices you make for yourself also impact others. Now I’m not saying that every single thing one does should be for others, but it’s good to bear in mind how your decisions and how you publicly share those decisions influence others. Whether we like it or not, we bear responsibility for those influenced by us. This also reminds me of Ubuntu, “I am because we are”. Just sharing my thoughts… Great video, Toni!!

[@renegadetherapper]

A big step towards women being more confident in ourselves is to stop basing our self esteem off of how men view us, or how we THINK men view us. Or how anyone views us. It’s really hard, but it will help over time. Do YOU like how you look? If you were the ONLY PERSON that existed, how would you see yourself? Men’s and women’s tastes change with the culture and the times, but that never ever takes away (or adds to) your beauty. You were crafted by God (or Mother Nature, whatever you believe). THAT is beautiful.

I’m in my 40s and I’m not jumping on any trends. All I do is continue to eat healthy and exercise. They want to keep women insecure so they spend more money. my 14 year old niece already has a crazy skin care routine and a massive collection of makeup, it never ends.

[@zaravr]

Im so glad that i have never been a follower - i dont follow trends and always stuck to what i know thank God

Botox and fillers block your lymphatic system in your face, you need this for various reasons, one reason is to remove wastes from your face.

[@sayjay26]

You have to watch and do a deep dive on the movie "Substance" it speaks to the very of heart of doing dangerous things to stay young.

[@Makenzipitcher]

To all who may see this ... this is your DAILY REMINDER that its okay to be incomplete we all are and that's okay :) loves remember that your created by a divine force and put down here for reason and always remember your outside beauty is only as pretty as your true inside beauty :) hope all you beautiful people are doing okay and well and if not try to ask for help and talk to someone and also allways remember your well be ART in the eyes of the people that matter the most in this life so never settle for less.

[@kellyjean7168]

If the social media platform, except for KZbin, would be deleted I would be content. This is very scary

[@amerikan_queen]

I’m 32 and I usually stay out of the young people business but who is Alex Earl?

[@dagnyarizona]

29 and I need to know too 😅👀

[@porchiajohnson1441]

Yall I'm 26 and don't know. Maybe it's specifically a middle class white woman thing 😂

That fact that most kids want to become influencers is sort of like all the kids that said they wanted to be an actor/actress. I was one of those kids, but understood "making it" as an actress is tough, so you gotta fall back on something else. The problem with influencing is there aren't barriers like talent agencies and tryouts for roles. You just put yourself out there and see what happens and, unfortunately, sometimes being a horrible person will give you the attention and ability to make a living. That part makes me sick because there are already influencers making good money just being a bad role model. Anyway, I'm glad you're wholesome and have a good following. I hope the trend swings where people who are doing good with their influence gain more attention.

I truly think people are trying to keep up with how they look with filters on, and maybe even trying to chase the “fountain of youth”. By all means, do what you want with your body & money but health should be #1 priority.

[@moedemonroe]

She said she was going to get the eyebrow lift because of “Aesthetics”. That sounds crazy, current trends are temporary… eyebrow placement, shapes etc changes frequently. I feel bad for the guys and girls. Surgery is fine if you really want it but the talking down on yourself or doing things because of trends is scary. Not to mention in real life you can see it especially the fillers.

[@mrod87]

3:13 baby maybe u look old and think u need a facelift bc you DONT EAT VEGETABLES?! Whattttt ur grown! 😂

[@susanjeffries5108]

Personally I would hate it if I couldn't put on a single article of clothing without everyone losing their mind and wondering what it "meant." Wouldn't trade places with Alex Earle for anything. This desire for conformity is really creepy. It's so uncreative and the sad truth is that there will always be a lot of people that can't conform and will feel bad that they can't. I like unique features, personally. That whole nose fold thing is weird. I have kind of a flat face which I've never loved about myself but I don't have those facial folds so I guess my face is trendy now? It's ridiculous.

[@LuisyArts]

I like your channel a lot. You’re very smart and informative and it’s nice to listen to.

[@shep928]

Omg I can't...like sheep. I wear what's in my closet and don't give af what anybody thinks of it

[@clarinha7588]

“ I hope I look like I’m five” girl pls-

[@Jupiterrbbyz]

There was a lady in Indian considered the reincarnation of a god. Why? As she internally knew all the rituals without being taught (Imagine the avatar already knowing how to avatar state with no teacher - extensive processes at that) and gurus across the nation flocked to hear her speak. One thing they noticed is that not a single photo could ever capture how she really looked.......... Photos do not capture how or what people experience with you However I will admit taking photos, like of your food, has been proven to boost the connection to an event or experience but you cannot expect that of every subjective viewer of said image

[@YourTarotTherapist]

Alice Earle’s decisions hold zero weight in my life lol - people who are influenced by a random racist girl on Tik Tok make me sad

[@ginastar5991]

Exactly I’m like “when did skinny jeans go out of style “

[@Zil_giddy]

Trends are dangerous! I quit subscribing to them long ago. Ask all of gals in our thirties who thought over-tweezing your brows to death was the LOOK… yeah. No. Sometimes that hair doesn’t come back, but at least I never got a BBL.

[@TheKristinElizbeth]

Omg I used to watch gazelles KZbin videos and I never knew she was only 24😭I thought she was in her 30s!!! But yeah facelift in your early 20s sounds scary, love your videos!🤍

[@tamii.malinki]

I wouldnt advise any lady younger than 30 with no kids to get surgery coz your body is still developing you might speed up your aging process if you get any procedures or take medications that flactuate your weight or skin.

[@Kawaiicarly]

I know she’s probably joking, but saying she hopes she looks 5 after the facelift is mad weird to me. Why do you want to look like a small child??

[@themagicalfox6]

I saw a video that actually disturbed me about what makes female faces "attractive" they pretty much stated that women with the most attractive faces have the features of a child 😬🤢

[@Youraveragefoodiee]

we are trully failing as a society if people pay more attention, time and money to how they look on they outside rather than how they feel and are on the inside. Not to even mention that they are undergoing extremely dangerous operations just for looks, really insane

[@funmiiam]

Getting unnecessary cosmetic surgery at SUCH a YOUNG age has to qualify as self harm. It just got to. Facelift at 24 is diabolical af, like you're not even fully developed yet. And the fact that many are aware of the immense risk yet choose to do it? Or do them only to regret it later like someone forced them to get it is first place has to be considered self harm

[@briasa4357]

i haven’t heard your talking points yet but i did explain to someone the other day about how much i didn’t like it lol and you posted this later talk about being on time !😭

[@CamRowdy]

I just purchased 2 pairs of skinny jeans and not because of them being “back in”, have no idea who this girl Alex is…..😂

[@Musicman-86]

The Kardashians going slim and now all the Girls wanna be the same. Bodyshape should not be a "Trend". Do it for YOU

[@p.hearting9992]

Theirs a movie on Netflix called the “Uglies” I recommend anyone who clicked on this video to watch this movie. It’s definitely a concept that makes complete sense in this society. Toni I know you don’t do movie reviews as KZbin videos but I recommend you consider it for this movie. It really hits a home run with this topic!

[@SuzanneReynolds-z6j]

Basing your entire image off of the current trends is insane I can’t grasp ppl act like this

[@catylee2703]

this is fucking terrifying

[@lexisaenz6252]

I love how you always quote the Bible but don’t impose your beliefs on the followers you have ❤ you are doing your part as a believer and it’s beautiful to see. 😊

[@allthingscooking8731]

I never liked my house looking super white and “put together but bare” as of right now I have my dream kitchen, themed after my favorite childhood book ❤ individualism is an amazing thing!

[@iknowyouwanttofly]

Sounds cute, what is your favorite childhood book? Mine was about a guinea pig who died so I will never have a childhood book themed kitchen haha.

[@brwnangel]

How do these people go under the knife so willingly I’m freaking out just watching this and it’s not even explicit lol

[@tiffanyrose2244]

Always love to hear your opinion on such topics 💖 greetings from Italy 💖💖💖

[@BrotherBernard7]

As a guy, your videos are literally the medicine for what's needed today in our generation for the women. From calling out baddie aesthetic to baby mama culture in the black community. You are a breath of fresh air, keep preaching the gospel!
