[lovejessy91]

[TheSparkle7113]

Your hair is looking great! I like all your hair styles. My question is i am 40 and trying to gain weight all over my body. Do i need to excersize in order to do that? Or just intake 3,000 calories a day. I gain slow so what is best advice for this. Thank You

[TrenDyFanTassy]

luv your curls

[xoxoAzhane]

i love when you wear your hair like this<3 gorgeous!

[CarmelaC36]

You dont need to gain weight, you have a nice shape and pretty face..most guys love your size thick women too much work in the bed room,,,all you have to do is alot of squats if you want a bigger but..but dont gain weight please women dont look sensual with chubby faces..also eat potatoes and eggs everyday thatll help give your bigger legs and butt..maybe five more pounds nothing more Please

[lashaynehampton]

Wait...women are trying to GAIN weight??? o_0 Just kidding, I know we are all different, good luck on your journey.

[Blackbarbietea]

Hi, my name is Taryn. You're trying to GAIN weight and I'm trying to LOSE weight. Wanna have some of my fat? smh -_-

[tjmunekita9434]

Hey!,,I was wondering how do you keep your small waist,because every time I tried to gain weight,my waist doesn't stay the same,is there a trick,l.o.l?

[AitebaarS]

Wait, so you WANT to gain weight? Girl, what is wrong with you?! You are beautiful! Trust me, I'm one of those "thick" girls, and I would love to be skinny lol. 

[Koneko2Klassy]

I used to feel like I wanted to gain weight too but I learned how to be happy with the size I am. I get complimented all the time and even get more attention than "thicker" girls. I learned that people sell their souls for my figure so I'm happy now plus my husband loooves my body. Good luck on your journey as long as you are HAPPY. =] -Much Love

[aRealJawjaPeach]

Wow! I remember when I was trying to gain weight.........and I did. I ended up with toooo much, and now I'm trying to get rid of it again. Good luck though, and remember to do it the healthy way.

[miyonnab08]

you look like la la :)

[mrskris95]

how did you style your hair for this video?

[chamirose]

I wish I could give you 10lbs. LOL

[iamGloria1]

love the hair style !

[babyy2blue]

Heyy Taren,, u remind me of a singer named Phyllis Hyman ?! :-)

[Shayti]

HEY GIRL....WHATS THE INSTRUMENTAL IN THE BACKGROUND IN THE BEGINNING?????

[br1anna91]

Tisha Martin Campbell

[glana13]

@br1anna91 I disagree. Tisha Martin Campbell isn't very appealing. Light skin doesn't warrant Taren to resemble her. Taren looks waaay better than TMCampbell. Hope no one else tries to make that point again.

[br1anna91]

You remind me so much of Tasha Martin Campbell

[LuvCoTERE]

Definitely luvin the do :) and also wanted to say i ABSOLUTELY!! love your theme music& intro :D def feelin that song (^_^)

[1960genius]

Love your hair and sweet spirit!

[BkLynGiRlx3]

Your hair is beautiful

[RufaroDiaries]

looooove your hair like this.

[angelgoddes95]

otae taren ima music freak... its my passion and i cant live without it so when i hear something i like wont stop until i hear it in alot of different ways... the song that plays when the videos start- WHAT IS IT

[xMiZGlaMx]

you look like mya.

[supergin777]

Luv your channel so glad I've found you ! God bless.....

[wowoverflow]

Do you have a tutorial on this hairstyle?

[heidishoshana]

it's so interesting as an obese individual to hear about women who want to gain weight... especially in the white, college-age community... even the skinny minnies complain about being too fat. keep it up girl, just stay healthy and do your research! I'm sure you'll look great thick or thin :)

[LuvinNappy]

you look like tisha campbell

[iLaughOutLoudx]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE continue the gain weight videos soon! i need em! thanks.

[BluBaby1920]

@iLaughOutLoudx I agree!

@taren916 Please continue.... I can't tell you how happy I am to see others I can commemorate with.... My highest weight was after my 'freshman 15' and it was 121...which I lost in 2 weeks....sigh. It's very annoying and trying to constantly have to defend my desire to gain weight....THANK YOU for being honest and putting this issue out in public

[sewingstardom90]

great video,btw the wig is a must try this winter.I've been rocking my hair straight for the past couple of weeks but after that video I may purchase that wig for the rest of the cold weather season. Thanks for sharing!

[mylaylay18]

I had my locs in a similar hairstyle like you have in this video...I used pipe cleaner curls :-)

[tabbyshauna]

I....want....your...hair...! :D

[VickyVue]

Hey girl, just found this, great, great, great, cuz young lady I just uploaded a new vid concerning my natural hair dilemna and I have a dilemna too! Still lovin' the hair little mama, gone girl!

[pebblez7337pookie]

The reason why you lost two is because naturally our body has "water weight" I believe thats the term but its when we lose about 2 or 3 pounds naturally so dont let that bring you down. Wish you the best of luck.

[cutiepiesensei]

lol omg u hav the same weight problem as me!! my first yr of college, while everyone gained the "freshman fifteen" (gain 15 lbs first yr of college) i lost 20 lbs my first yr and i didnt want to!!! only hav gained 6 lbs back lol

[blessmytresses]

I slacked off on the lose weight regimen! I also gained 5 pounds! LOL!

[godsflame2]

Girl you better leave that weight gaining stuff alone! lol. Just eat healthy(from the food group pyramid) don't skip any meals and you will be fine. And I agree with some of the others more weight may naturally come with age so enjoy your high metabolism now.

[JazmnLove]

@godsflame2 Believe me it doesnt work.

And it's not fun to have a high metabolis.

[tyalorwill]

Hey Taren, how do you plan on the weight gain? I wanna gain weight too!! So yeah, info please!!

[maximuslyricus]

Thanx for the update!

[shalyoun]

WOW that is great R&R on my birthday can't wait

[jazzybee445]

Hey Tarin! :) i dont know if anyone answered this for you alreay and im dont wanna look through the many pages of comments lol sooo i will just post it anyways....

so when you go to your channel they have the whole little menu that says: "post bulletins, settings, themes and colors, moduels, etc..." click on moduels and check the box that says "moderator" ... i hope this helps :)

[jazzybee445]

@jazzybee445 HA! NVM lol i just went to your channel and saw it there! lol

[thisischiseipiece]

Your so awesome :D

[HalfBlackFilipino]

I too am a new subbie......Thanx for putting the links in the description box. :) Your hair is beautiful! Love your sweater & how you accessorized it. R & R is a great idea, good luck w/ur weight gain

[HalfBlackFilipino]

I too am a new subbie......Thanx for putting the links in the description box. :) Your hair is beautiful! Love your sweater & how you accessorized it.

[HalfBlackFilipino]

I too am a new subbie......Thanx for putting the links in the description box. :) Your hair is beautiful!

[Ryushai]

I agree with Keelioness, if you keep doing what you're doing you will gain weight when you get closer to your thirties.

[taren916]

@Ryushai Ppl must think I'm younger than what I am..... I"m only one year away from 30... Lol

[PneumaB]

The way nikkimae2003 is doing her FAQs by the voting system goes like this... A viewer will scroll through the comments To see if thier question is already a comment under that video OR post a question THEN other ppl who want to know the answer to that same question "thumbs up" that comment. The comments with the most thumbs up she will answer in the FAQ video... It seems very efficient... Hope that helps...

[geishabema87]

um y are u trying to gain weight?

[WeSingJN]

hmm this is odd.

I am subscribed to you, but it says that im not.. i had to resubscribe.

You look good though!

[keelioness]

Gurl u look good! Dont gain any weight.. Take it from me by the time your in your early 30's your metabolism drops drastically. You have to work alot harder to lose.

[LoveMeMore85]

Love the earrings!

[Sensation453]

Ahhh nd JUST When I Was Beginning to Think I CANT THINK OF ANOTHER STYLE FOR MY HAIR ! You Gave Me Inspiration ! = ) Your Look Today Will Deff Be My Look for Valentines = ) Thank YOU Taren !!! Woop Woop !

[snoddymia]

I can't wait for the RRs!! I work with a non profit it Colorado called Won't be Broken and we work with women in Domestic Violence situations, I'd love to work with you on some things! Love the hair btw!

[willame1]

Thanks for keeping us in the loop, Taren.

Your hair is soooooooo pretty.

TAKE CARE

[TheSocialiteLife]

Good to see this video and looking forward to the Reveal and Release series! :)

[sweetsasha2007]

Hi Taren. If you don't mind me asking, what do you use on your skin. Are you going to do reviews on skincare products?

[khalidag100]

Can't wait for the gain weight videos, I really need to see what you do, so I can try the same.

[flminnc]

Your hairstyle is fab!

[MsBtv213]

Omg, you lost 2 lbs already!! Can I have your metabolism???? Lol, it can be hard sometimes when sticking to the goal because it's so easy to fall off track once you get caught up with other stuff in life. But stay focused and motivated, good luck on your journey!!

[28kbrew]

I'm a new subbie and I really like your product reviews. They are very honest and helpful. I also am trying your diffusing technique and I notice it adds a little more volume to my curls.

[ItsMeFawn]

Looking forward to R&R

[badazzgirl04]

Your hair looks great!

[tashiramone]

I just watched your reveal and release intro, very inspiring story and I salute you for being such a strong woman and ENCOURAGING other women to do the same. I really like the idea of reveal and release, thinking about submitting an issue :)

[Kinkycurlycoil]

looks cute on shorter hair!!! Likes!!

[YoscHilein]

Why do you want to GAIN weight?????! you dont look very skinny ! I dont get this.

[mommyanme]

A few tips for the weight gain-get deep tissue massages, this will ensure to remove any blockages in your body to make sure you can distribute weight evenly. Also, Stauffer's large sized white meat chicken pot pies, omg, they will get you straight. If you have a Smoothie King out there, get the Vanilla Hulk, it is a weight gain smoothie .Looks like you gain weight like I do, in the lower part of your body, so be prepared to buy a new wardrobe, it's harder to find once those hips get wide!

[MixedOreo09]

hey taren..do u accept youtube subscribers on your facebook channel? or is it personal?

[taren916]

@MixedOreo09 YOu can request friendship on FB... The link is in the description box

[AllPro777]

@taren916

Yeah, but will it be a REAL friendship? Like, can I come to your house, cry on your shoulder, go in your fridge and eat your food, then lay around?

[GloriousNonsense]

Wow your hair is super duper curly ...never seen it that curly before. Love it!

[Got2bedestiny]

Ive always loved your videos...but this one made me leave the family room (and family) and go to my room to listen to this with no interruptions....im in the same boat as you...im 27 years old.5'1..96 pounds....could never gain weight...i get mistaken for a 19 year old daily..i also have a shape...and a big butt lol...but i also know that I wanna be around 110.....are u looking for anyone to take this challenge with you because im so willing....

[MsFarzee]

You r such a unique woman. Thank you for sharing everything that you share

[LongHairDontCareLLC]

for the q/a:

go to modules >> check the "moderator" box >> save changes >> fill out the info >> save changes

that's it! i put on on my channel too. i'm testing it out to see if it's a better system to keep up with questions.

love the side curls on the "short" hair today!

☮

[LongHairDontCareLLC]

@LongHairDontCareLLC i see that @naptural85 beat me to it! :)

[taren916]

@LongHairDontCareLLC Lol! Thanks anyway :)

[Aerbear23]

lol look at that one dislike.. haha haterrrrrrr

[AMskyesTV]

hey @taren916 -->What software do you use to edit your vids??? Loving the new hair btw!

[taren916]

@AMskyesTV Thanks :) I use iMovie to edit

[awztukat]

You should do l a low kinda boyish hair bump. I can't describe it but i can kinda see it in your hairstyle now (the pinned down side). I think it would really suit you.

[kiera843]

Your hair is sooo fierce!!! Loving it! O yeah when are you going to do more vids for outoftheboxes? Ive been waiting on that for a minute now! I loved the last vid you did up there!

[BSMART18]

@taren916 Is the Huetiful Steamer still a part of your regimen?

[IamMeli3]

I tried the whole gain weight diet to gain 10 lbs omg. was it exhausting or what...it almost mentally drains you, you spend your whole day counting calories and stuffing your face...plus I wasn't gaining any weight at all...Plus maintaining the weight would be even harder because I drop weight sooo easily..I just realized I need to be happy that I'm thin, healthy, and pretty instead of desiring everything I don't have. GOOD LUCK With the journey I'm looking forward to watching the video!

[mediterraneanqueen]

@IamMeli3 the key to gaining weight is of course eating the right foods, but also hitting the gym and doing a lot of resistant training, (weight lifting) a lot of squats, leg lunges, protein shakes

[LaWillz]

Can't wait for the weight gain journey and tips..Can I ask how tall are you? I am 5'4..and how much weight are you trying to gain?

[taren916]

@LaWillz I'm 5'8 and I'm 130 lbs.... My ideal weight is 145 lbs

[yagurlbubblez]

@taren916 im 5'8 too and i 165lbs right now i would like to lose about 5 lbs but thats it. i went thru the same thing regarding my weight too.

[LaWillz]

@taren916 oh ok, that's 15lbs you can do it! please keep us updated! :)

[Juskim79]

Hi Taren! I am a new subscriber. I just wanted to say to you thank you! The reason I say that is because is because of your beautiful personality. You really have a smile that shines and you seem so sincere. I started watching for hair tips, but then I saw the weight gain issue, and OMG! I have been dealing with this for years. I can eat, eat, eat and no weight lol. I am hoping to start my own channel but I am kinda shy :-). Keep doing what you are doing!

[taren916]

@Juskim79 Thanks so much!

[Lexy4553]

I am missing the theme music! That is my jam, lol! :)

[nappilyevaafta]

Thanks so much for sharing. I'm just lovin your hair style. "BEAUTIFUL"

[TWEET629]

LMBO! I'm one of those people saying "Gurlll yo hair is long"

Question: This is totally off subject but I was wondering if you could please recommend RELIABLE and ACCURATE sources for me to find out about the law of attraction.

[sweeteababy0427]

Our style is very similar today. My hair is the same way and I wore a similar type of sweater but in purple...lol

[ThePoetikmind215]

Taren you are beautiful and your hair is sooooooo pretty like that and those earrings are so dope!

[lakendrawriter]

Please do a tutorial for this style!!

[MissNecee06]

Can't wait for those weight gain video, I'm like 5'0 and my weight goes up and down between 107 and 110.I want to be at a steady 115 or 120.

[YouLoveMariah]

i want to gain weight with youuu! im 5'4" 100 or 103 lbs & i wanna be at least 120 or 130 . lets get this journey goin girl !

[lfutrell82]

so what do you have to eat to gain weight?

[melodee105]

I'm just curious...Is your camera motion sensitive? Every time you move your head, the camera moves! Idk if it's on a soft surface or what...just a weird and curious observation/question lol

[taren916]

@melodee105 Lol.. Yeah I know haha.... Yeah the lens seems to follow my movements.. LOL

[HoneyBrown1978]

you are gorgeous!!!! I love your vids. I feel like I know you just from watching them.

[KinkyStyles1980]

[kiannamarie12]

[xMagNiFiQue]

your my favorite you-tuber your personality has stayed consistent, and i think that what people like when they watch someone for a long period of time, that the YouTube fame doesn't get to them so much that u see it come thru on camera.

[taren916]

@xMagNiFiQue Awww thanks so much! and thanks for sticking with me :-D

[monz1010]

makeup is awesome... as usual

[jstin08]

QUESTION: If i get my hair blown out by dominicans is that better than flat iron? i want my hair straight sometimes. Please help.

[eritreasunshine]

@jstin08 girl, don't you let them dominicans touch your hair. The best way to flat out your hair first first roller set (i remember taren sayin she did this) then flat iron the roots, for a even silker effect you can wrap your hair and then take saren wrap and cover your hair and get under a hair dryer

[taren916]

@jstin08 They use A LOT of tension when blowing out the hair so it wouldn't be any better than flatirong.. I saw someone told you to get a roller set and I totally agree... Roller set are one of the safest ways to straighten.. After that just keep it wrapped and it should smooth out even more..

[TesticularRainbows]

@taren916 I have trouble wrapping my hair when it's straight because it's so fine and silky. Even my friends have trouble wrapping it since they're not used to it! Do you have any ideas or wrapping advice??

[gothicloveism]

2nd :)

i love her so much shes so pretty and her hair is beautiful!

[MsApril923]

Love the look! Cant wait for Reveal and Release!!

[ade52286]

[Mstrendbender]
