I love your videos! I love how down-to-earth and happy you are! And your acccent is amazing too... I'm from England, we don't have that sort of accent here :-P
Erica, i just joined youtube! ive been watching your vids since u started but i stopped in the last few months so ive gotta lot of catchig up to do!! ur tryin for a baby now? xxx Rachel, UK
sweetie i don't think you should be more 'professional'. i like that your videos are just like my girlfriend talking to me about makeup. i like that your videos are fun and personal. i don't like those people that are 'professional' on here.
you are so right about the same videos and same products not everyone has mac that is why i like watching your videos you use different products all the time maybe your neighbor dreses in drag lol and sings maybe he watches some of the other gurus and gets ideas on makeup
hahahaa i'm not even really into makeup that much, i just watch your videos because you're such a sweet and funny person and they entertain me! Keep it up. :)
I love hair tutorials too. But just listening to people talk about things they feel passionate about is cool too. And, cooking, I like watching cooking videos too.
I love your accent. I know, I know, you don't have an accent....'we all' do. :-)
Have you talked to a docter about you not sleeping that is not good. It is ok once in a wile but not all the time. I am 50 and fell taking care of my collie 4 weeks ago I stoved up my right side from my shoulder to my butt it hurts and is so sore Ican not even bend over to pick up a peice of paper on the floor so that is why I can not sleep. I do when I take the meds for pain . Love ya From Sherry
Go girl do what makes you happy we watch to see you not how clean your house is. we just like talking and shooting the breeze with you. Love ya from Sherry
I love this video! it has inspired me to make more videos! i haven't done many because you almost feel intimidated like you have to be a professional videographer.....I love the" your still just a girl in your house" All of my friends have told me that i always make everyone feel like the only person in the room and my personality doesn't come out in my videos!! That changes today!!! thanks for the inspiration!
good for you!! be yourself and screw anyone who doesn't like it! i'm so glad to see that the real you is back!!! sometimes it's so tiring to see ppl do tutorials and being all serious. keep doing what you're doing and be YOURSELF!!
Ok, I watched the makeup tips video before I saw this one, and while I have a tear in both eyes, I also had a smile throughout most of this video. I commented on the other video about your "stress-free" look, and this vid explains why more thoroughly. Good for you Erica!! So nice to see you smile again, the real Erica. Long story short;true subscribers will be watching you anxiously whether there's fuzz on the carpet,good lighting on your face, or a neighbor going thru his midlife crisis!! xx
i don't watch your channel because of your makeup tutorials and how proffessional they are, i watch your channel because you're a real person, you have real issues and a fun personality and it's something a lot of people can relate to. don't change! :]
i like it when videos show personality. baby wipes are good for everything. i get "stuck" at home with no car when my boyfriend is at work too. lol @ ur neighbor. my upstairs neighbors just walk really loud
i totaly agree that you should be able to express your sweet personality with out fearing that people won't like/trust your advise, contrary people will look at you because you are kind and do videos for fun and not to be a hotshot. I feel that I can never keep up with the MAC collections and all the "new products and companies" Id hate to know that gurus get free makeup and give biased reviews. we should all remember that makeup is fun!
I totally agree that personality matters more than editing and looking professional, it makes you feel you're among friends. Is there anyone you can complain to about your neighbour? I remember being in my college apt once and the people above me had Titanic on so loud on tv that I could tell which part of the movie it was at! Question: what do you go to school for and what to you want to do when you graduate?
You are too cute! Makeup is my hobby, too! Sorry about your makeup burnout! It happens to me, too, but it always passes! Just be yourself! That's what makes your videos so special! Your videos are awesome!
i'm subscribed to a whole lot of youtube 'bigshots' but your videos are my faveourite because of your personality, you seem so sweet and genuine, your just right to be nothing but yourself.
Your adorable Erica!!! I love watching your videos. I am in MA now, from GA, and it's great to hear your southern accent!! Hope to see lots more videos!!!
Early morning coffee's are fabulous, not gonna hold it against you. (: I love your personality being back, because you are awesome and yep. Haha. If I lived in the US, I would adore for you to do my make-up. xD
I just love you. You are so awesome. Your personality rox. hehe and I love your accent. Why? If it is a talent ppl trust you to do their makeup and think of it as a blessing to pay you in return for the good work you do for them. Thats a great idea. I love your idea on using the diff brands. You're right. The Gurus need to show their persty. I love to see their persty. Yeah. Do more talking videos. This was fun. Byee.
I totally agree with you! Love the rambling videos. I'm in the same boat...hubby goes to work and no car for me. That can equal some boring time, but I have kids so it's not completely boring. Keep doing what makes you happy and I will keep watching =)
I guess my 1st comment did not post. Keep doing you and don't worry about what others think. I love your videos mainly because of you personality. Spring is always a good time to renew/reinvent yourself. People comment that if you change that is bad, but change means growth also. When we grow and mature we change. So if you have changed it is for the better always, but don't change the way you do videos. Love the fuzz in the bkgrd(make it more personal). Use the MU you want to use also.
I am getting bored with YT also. Not because of the brands... like some people complain alot use MAC, but I see more using costal scents, 88, 120, 150 lol etc paletttes. And the newest one Bslap. I think it has more to do with the designs, etc we all do. Alot of us in the makeup community keep doing the same style/designs just different colors. It does get boring sometimes...you start to watch a video and then move to another one 1/2 thru because of that. MU is fun and tuts should be fun :)
Erica, girl, Im 23 & also married and worka a full time job AND FROM THE SOUTH!! Haha we're like one in the same! I HATE cleaning!! LoL If there is a piece of fuzz on my floor and I dont want to pick it up, I wont til I feel like it!! :) Keep doing what you do the way you wanna do it! And get you some sleep, hunnie!
Erica I love your vids, but it gets kinda old when every time you do one it's explaining why you hardly ever do any. You don't have to explain yourself, just do what you feel! Eff the haters.
Well, in this video I was explaining the feelings I am going through right now. That's the reason I commented on it. I was pretty much doing it as a therapy type of thing for myself. Just made me feel better. Sorry!
Erica i love you. I wish you lived near me we could def hang out. I love when you said "in the end ppl know you are just a girl in yo house" LOL LOL dead dead LOL LOL..Anywho we love you i love your talking vids :)
Do you know what... im the same with my videos. im soo uninspired if its the lighting, the camera thats just taking the mick I get fed up... im like ill make a video today but editing and all that parlavour just makes me think ugh... so i totally agree with you there hun xxx
I'm glad you decided to just focus on being yourself on your channel. A lot of people complain that I talk too much/too fast on my channel, but I ignore them because it's MY channel. And I do it for myself to have fun, so why should I worry about meeting the demands of others? If they want to watch, that's great, but if not, I'm still doing my thing.
I'm sorry, but every time I watch your videos it is hard to concentrate on what you're talking about because I always think of the food you made in that one video...it looked sooo good. So no matter what you're talking about, I'm still thinking "omg, she makes the best food".
I love it when people don't have an official background and its just your house. Its like a little peek inside other people's lives. Its just more fun that way. Anyway, you should do more of these random video's, they are fun to watch.
I loved this video! I think your right, people shouldn't worry about how many subscribers they have or whatever. I don't on my videos, I just have fun and make the videos I want to make. Anything else is a bonus! I can't wait to see more videos like this, you don't need to be something you're not for people to watch you. Hopefully you'll post some haul videos of the new makeup your getting :)
yeah you are totally right about people trying so hard to make everything perfect in a video is boring! You tube is about real people for me and trying to be like REAL tv is like detaching yourself from the subscribers and community, right? I find that those gurus that try to become more professional get complains from the subscribers because that wasn't the reason we first watched them, it was their personality!
I agree with you..and you're the one im watching not your background, I'm enjoying watching you..you're funny, seems like you're a fun to be with person. I like your personality.
You are tooo funny miss Erica! it's so true though, when you try hard to be perfect, you're gonna fail. It's better to be yourself and if people don't like it than it's to bad for them! You have a great personality so let it shine girl! :)
girl i like your fuzz!!!!! I love your video - I rather have someone's personality come out on their video vs. one that looks like it was a professional video!! so you go girl!!!
Hi Erika! Nice seeing you again. I hope you start making more videos. Summer is almost here so I know you'll start feeling better. Hey, I know what you mean about loud neighbors. I once had a neighbor who played Blondie music really loud almost every afternoon until he moved out. What a nut!!
YES! Finally someone who agrees that baby wipes are good for everything! But then again, I have kids..... I really love how you just are you. It's really refreshing to me to be able to see someone who doesn't treat people like clients and treats them like a friend. I really like it! I like the spring cleaning section!
OMG Erica I almost choked with my drink......at 11:03 I thought you said something else....I was like OMG not sweet little Erica ??? lol....I thought I had corrupted you =)
Erica...you sound a bit tired but I just commented to tell you HI and that life is good...just smile and it helps. At least it does me...just a simple smile!!!! I adore you!
wow Erica is sonuds like to me that you are depressed. I suffer from depression. I have difficulty sleeping just like you were saying.I stay up all night and many times no sleep in the day but most time i sleep in the day. I think you are having a lot of anxiety. Another sign of depression is not enjoying some of the things you once enjoyed.I didn'y wear any make up for a year and I loved wearing makeup. maybe you should tap into your spirituality and somehow implement that into your videos.
Erica, When you were doing this video, I wanted to be that friend that could get in my friend and drive over to have coffee with you. I NEVER sleep. I twittered that I slept in my own bed for two night. Really 1.5 nights since March 18th when Gary had his stroke. My head dangles in front of the computer as I sit on my floor at night & sleep that way for a couple hours. I am going through this same feelings in my life and lately I feel pressure to move from my love seat in videos but I am comfy.
girl, you're over analyzing everything. do your videos the way you want to do them. i remember all the coastal scents crap that went on. it's in the past. 'girls just wanna have fun'!! that can be your mantra. by the way, i grew up like you did - my brother is 14 yrs older than me. i grew up in the country (s.c.) by myself. really by myself - just me and the little animals. and my husband travels every week so i get to be by myself again. keeps us married!!
it bothers me that you think you should/feel be more professional and have supreme editing skills.. i enjoy the fact your not like that! just makes you seem more down to earth. i lost my train of thought but glad you had some time out for yourself to reflect =)
i really enjoy watching your videos :) your such a sweetheart. & someone that would be awesome to have as a friend :) & i love all your makeup looks :) keep them coming hun :)
Good video! I'm glad you're not going to worry so much about looking "professional," and are just going to be yourself. I think that's the best way to make videos. I watch your vids because of your fun personality. The makeup tips and stuff are great, but like you said it can get a bit repetitive. I enjoy your random vlogs, and I'd love to see more of them cause it's fun to hear what's on your mind. That way, we can see more sides to you than just the side that's interested in makeup.
I totally get what ur talking about!!! thats exactly what im going through right now youtube is not fun anymore since i started editing my vids. I too feel like a robot. I studder a lot so I need to edit my vids and they are sooo choppy. It takes me longer to edit than what it takes me to make the video and watching other peoples vids are so boring!!! to me every look people do seems the same. I used to watch youtube vids all the time but now I get bored from watching them.
Erica, I don;t edit my videos and I have seen that people do change theur background, and in my earlier vids, I had my parents working on my house and my background was messy as EVER and I didn't mind, and I don't care either :-P My videos are also live recorded to Youtube, But....yeah, I don't really care how people judge me, My monitor was screwing up my lighting, people left hurtful comments about that and, I had no way to fix that : /
I'm gonna reply to you with the same comment I replied to the other person that said that. :D Y I think maybe it hurt me so much that it kinda scared me away for a while if that makes sense. If you only knew half of the stuff they did to me. There is still a lot that people don't know sadly enough. It was a really hard time for me. I honestly cried everyday and I didn't think I would never come back. Maybe it just took me a while to get back into the swing of things. Thanks for the support!
Another thought....You know, I think the changes in your vids took place about the time of Coastal Scents blasting you. You've let them effect your way of doing vids. Screw them. (sorry) Put them in the past where they belong. JUST HAVE FUN!! That's the whole point, I think. We love you just the way you are!!!
Yeah, someone else mentioned that. I think maybe it hurt me so much that it kinda scared me away for a while if that makes sense. If you only knew half of the stuff they did to me. Oy! It was nuts. There is still a lot that people don't know sadly enough. It was a really hard time for me. I honestly cried everyday and I didn't think I would ever come back to youtube. Maybe it just took me a while to get back into the swing of things. Thanks for the support!
miss. erica i love ur vids :D i rlly do.. usually i hate watching 20 min vids (like pinkiecharm) ... on people tlking but ur so inspireing that i watched it all.... dont get me wrong i love pinky but she just tlks... and i think u just talk from your ♥ and i appreciate tht :D
I love talking videos. Frankly, your right. A lot of these gurus have become very boring. The only makeup videos I click on anymore are editorial makeup tutorials. Other than that I've been passing them by. Personality is key to all guru's success. Questions: What do you like to do for hobbies outside of makeup? Tell me your goals or ambitions? What do you do all day? Do you have a job? Tell me some fun or embarrassing stories of your past?
You have hit it right on the nail!. It has become very annoying seeing one Guru one day & literally see 3-4 people the next couple of days with the same darn thing.
I really enjoyed this video. It's so true so many gurus are turning into robots. I love your funny stories and quarks. I have to agree im definitely going through a weird funk because now i have nothing to do. But this video was great because it felt like you were talking to us. Keep your videos like this, I loved it! :)
Im the same way I stay home all the time my husband is using my car cause his broke lol... I also do makeup tutorial with my palettes i got on ebay lol. Go check my channel out and let me know what you think!
Welcome back Ms Erica.. I love you bubbly personality and I'm so glad to see it back. :) I also love these talking videos of yours, I could watch these all day... :)
I love this video and Im glad that ur gonna start acting like the REAL you, alot of ppl try to please everyine and try to be someone that their not and they make it seem so obvious and I love the fact that ur not like that.
shh if you message me i will tell you but keep it secret haha actually you don't have to keep it secret but yeah I just want at least one person to be surprised lol And thank you so much for the sweet comment. That would be pretty cool. If I knew how I would probably try it. It would give me something to do and I know I could make some colors that I want and NO ONE makes so it would help me too haha :P
Ahhhh Erica I love you! This video was great and I love how you just flat out say what you feel. That is how people should be and they shouldn't care what others think cause I believe how others say people who say rude things they aren't loving their selves so whatever to them!
I do have a question. What would be the best mascara to get? I've tried some from loriel and maybelline. I'm tired of spending money on products and hating them. Than I have to spend more money to try someting else. If you would give a recemendation I would so appreiciate it. Thank you. I'm glad that you are back to your old self, i missed the seeing your great videos.
The best mascara I have ever tried is actually from mexico. I only got to have one tube of it that I got from a friend :( But I know they sell it on ebay. It's called IM Mascara and it was in a pink tube :D Other than that one I am still on the lookout too. I have heard lash blast is the best but I dunno. I haven't got around to trying it yet. Maybe I should... Sorry I can't be of more help :(
Its so true! All makeup videos on here center around MAC--I live in Kentucky, like you, and the nearest MAC store is 3 hours away from me. There are no CCO's around that I know of, no Sephora stores--its hard for some people to find them!
I think the whole point should be is to watch videos to find variety in products, to find good makeup that isnt just one high end brand and help others save money for quality stuff!!
Keep doing what you are doing--we love ya girl--fuzz, baby wipes and all!!
i agree with the getting bored thing. i don't make vids here on youtube, just enjoying watching them. I find myself enjoying the reviews and talks way better than any tutroial that people do because tutorials only really go so far.. i mean it's all the same thing except slightly changing up the colors and in the intensity here or there on the face.
OMG.. This was funny loved it, you just don't care. That old man partys, and can't wait to see your ebay package. You may need to sleep sooner or later.
i cant wait to see your upcoming vodeos and see what brtands you are talking about - ilove you ! n you dont have to be porfessional = it makes you seam more down to earth when you are just the way you are
This made me so happy! I'm glad you're goin' back to making videos the way you used to! You are adorable and I love your jokes, stories, etc. I honestly leaning into my computer with a smirk on my face (like when a friend tells you a secret) when you started to talk about your creepy neighbor hahaha! Speaking of, maybe you should go party with him, haha! jk
Keep the real Erica coming! I can't wait to see what new stuff you've got coming too! <3
I've been in that "funk" lately too- so you're not alone! Also, just be yourself- don't feel that you have to be perfect. I get into that mindset too, and it eats me up. I have to back up and realize I can only do what I can do- I'm just me.
We'll "chill and relax" together :) *hugs* to you sweetie!
I totally get what you mean girl!! so much Drama on Youtube lately , I havent been motivated to do a video either. And no one on You tube video looks professional so dont worry about that.
Aww.. I wish you lived where I do! We could totally hang out...I stay at home all day while the boyfriend goes to work... I'm kinda missing going to school now that I'm home lonely all day!
You are so right about spring cleaning yourself...I feel the same way. It is very refreshing to re-evaluate how and where things are going in your life and just give yourself an attitude adjustment. I just wish others around me would spring clean themselves too! LOL!
your great the way you are you dont need to chane anything nobody is perfect and if so,meone dont like you for you then thats there proble,m being yourself is the best thing:) I like you the way you are
I like u better all natural! No backdrops, no fancy camera angles. Makes it easier for me 2 relate 2 u cause u seem more like a REAL person. XOXO

i totaly agree that you should be able to express your sweet personality with out fearing that people won't like/trust your advise, contrary people will look at you because you are kind and do videos for fun and not to be a hotshot. I feel that I can never keep up with the MAC collections and all the "new products and companies" Id hate to know that gurus get free makeup and give biased reviews. we should all remember that makeup is fun!

I totally agree that personality matters more than editing and looking professional, it makes you feel you're among friends. Is there anyone you can complain to about your neighbour? I remember being in my college apt once and the people above me had Titanic on so loud on tv that I could tell which part of the movie it was at! Question: what do you go to school for and what to you want to do when you graduate?

You are too cute! Makeup is my hobby, too! Sorry about your makeup burnout! It happens to me, too, but it always passes! Just be yourself! That's what makes your videos so special! Your videos are awesome!

If it is a talent ppl trust you to do their makeup and think of it as a blessing to pay you in return for the good work you do for them. Thats a great idea. I love your idea on using the diff brands. You're right. The Gurus need to show their persty. I love to see their persty. Yeah. Do more talking videos. This was fun. Byee.

LilMszShelbyboo17 2 years ago
I guess my 1st comment did not post. Keep doing you and don't worry about what others think. I love your videos mainly because of you personality. Spring is always a good time to renew/reinvent yourself. People comment that if you change that is bad, but change means growth also. When we grow and mature we change. So if you have changed it is for the better always, but don't change the way you do videos. Love the fuzz in the bkgrd(make it more personal). Use the MU you want to use also.
NappyMACDiva3 2 years ago
I am getting bored with YT also. Not because of the brands... like some people complain alot use MAC, but I see more using costal scents, 88, 120, 150 lol etc paletttes. And the newest one Bslap. I think it has more to do with the designs, etc we all do. Alot of us in the makeup community keep doing the same style/designs just different colors. It does get boring sometimes...you start to watch a video and then move to another one 1/2 thru because of that. MU is fun and tuts should be fun :)

I'm glad you decided to just focus on being yourself on your channel. A lot of people complain that I talk too much/too fast on my channel, but I ignore them because it's MY channel. And I do it for myself to have fun, so why should I worry about meeting the demands of others? If they want to watch, that's great, but if not, I'm still doing my thing.
pinklipssstick 2 years ago
I'm sorry, but every time I watch your videos it is hard to concentrate on what you're talking about because I always think of the food you made in that one video...it looked sooo good. So no matter what you're talking about, I'm still thinking "omg, she makes the best food".

Hopefully you'll post some haul videos of the new makeup your getting :)
sparklyemeraldjewels 2 years ago
yeah you are totally right about people trying so hard to make everything perfect in a video is boring! You tube is about real people for me and trying to be like REAL tv is like detaching yourself from the subscribers and community, right? I find that those gurus that try to become more professional get complains from the subscribers because that wasn't the reason we first watched them, it was their personality!

wow Erica is sonuds like to me that you are depressed. I suffer from depression. I have difficulty sleeping just like you were saying.I stay up all night and many times no sleep in the day but most time i sleep in the day. I think you are having a lot of anxiety. Another sign of depression is not enjoying some of the things you once enjoyed.I didn'y wear any make up for a year and I loved wearing makeup. maybe you should tap into your spirituality and somehow implement that into your videos.
kkimberly2004 2 years ago
Erica, When you were doing this video, I wanted to be that friend that could get in my friend and drive over to have coffee with you. I NEVER sleep. I twittered that I slept in my own bed for two night. Really 1.5 nights since March 18th when Gary had his stroke. My head dangles in front of the computer as I sit on my floor at night & sleep that way for a couple hours. I am going through this same feelings in my life and lately I feel pressure to move from my love seat in videos but I am comfy.

Good video! I'm glad you're not going to worry so much about looking "professional," and are just going to be yourself. I think that's the best way to make videos. I watch your vids because of your fun personality. The makeup tips and stuff are great, but like you said it can get a bit repetitive. I enjoy your random vlogs, and I'd love to see more of them cause it's fun to hear what's on your mind. That way, we can see more sides to you than just the side that's interested in makeup.

I totally get what ur talking about!!! thats exactly what im going through right now youtube is not fun anymore since i started editing my vids. I too feel like a robot. I studder a lot so I need to edit my vids and they are sooo choppy. It takes me longer to edit than what it takes me to make the video and watching other peoples vids are so boring!!! to me every look people do seems the same. I used to watch youtube vids all the time but now I get bored from watching them.
dani2018 2 years ago
Erica, I don;t edit my videos and I have seen that people do change theur background, and in my earlier vids, I had my parents working on my house and my background was messy as EVER and I didn't mind, and I don't care either :-P My videos are also live recorded to Youtube, But....yeah, I don't really care how people judge me, My monitor was screwing up my lighting, people left hurtful comments about that and, I had no way to fix that : /

I honestly cried everyday and I didn't think I would never come back. Maybe it just took me a while to get back into the swing of things. Thanks for the support!

I love talking videos. Frankly, your right. A lot of these gurus have become very boring. The only makeup videos I click on anymore are editorial makeup tutorials. Other than that I've been passing them by. Personality is key to all guru's success. Questions: What do you like to do for hobbies outside of makeup? Tell me your goals or ambitions? What do you do all day? Do you have a job? Tell me some fun or embarrassing stories of your past?

I do have a question. What would be the best mascara to get? I've tried some from loriel and maybelline. I'm tired of spending money on products and hating them. Than I have to spend more money to try someting else. If you would give a recemendation I would so appreiciate it. Thank you. I'm glad that you are back to your old self, i missed the seeing your great videos.

The best mascara I have ever tried is actually from mexico. I only got to have one tube of it that I got from a friend :( But I know they sell it on ebay. It's called IM Mascara and it was in a pink tube :D Other than that one I am still on the lookout too. I have heard lash blast is the best but I dunno. I haven't got around to trying it yet. Maybe I should... Sorry I can't be of more help :(
ericaleigh777 2 years ago
Its so true! All makeup videos on here center around MAC--I live in Kentucky, like you, and the nearest MAC store is 3 hours away from me. There are no CCO's around that I know of, no Sephora stores--its hard for some people to find them!
I think the whole point should be is to watch videos to find variety in products, to find good makeup that isnt just one high end brand and help others save money for quality stuff!!
Keep doing what you are doing--we love ya girl--fuzz, baby wipes and all!!
