That is it. So I'm gonna have to get another laptop. I Was gonna have to get another laptop But we're gonna talk about some things about the future of my channel here in a minute, but hey y'all how y'all doing? You know things are going on with my camera my camera We're gonna talk about her either but some things are going on It just makes it difficult when you want to record things to record and have to do all this extra You know and YouTube in general the general the platform itself It's just not fun anymore that I found so y'all know what we do We jump we talk about YouTube wasn't these YouTube streets We talk about what I have been watching which really hasn't been nothing and we talk about home life ketchup on home life And what's been going on let's jump into these glasses real quick. I've gotten a couple of compliments that thank y'all But let me tell you something Thank y'all because my husband did not recognize that I had new glasses and And let me express why I'm concerned by that. These are totally different from my other glasses I had rectangle red. I switch between a red and a blue lens So a couple of days ago. I was like you didn't even recognize that I had new glasses mind you I've been wearing these frames for a week now. So two days ago. I'm like you didn't ever recognize You know where can I sit? I have new glasses and JP was like, yeah, daddy. I'm like So my husband looks at me he starts laughing. It's like they look the same like all the rest of them Same thing big big and loud. I said ninja These are pink first of all and they're cat eye. Yeah, anyway So thank y'all for recognizing that I have new glasses and I got these from Fermo now Let me pause and get you. Let me show you what I originally got. Hold on So let me show you the glasses that I had originally purchased from Fermo Last month. They're these frames black with the gold rim in the middle. I think they're adorable, right? Very very cute Um Cute, huh, but the Something's off. So I tried wearing them for about two days or so and I was getting nauseated like it's something's off So what I did is I contacted from was like, yes something's off with these glasses And they were very very professional and they're like, you know what keep the frames and matter of fact Here's a hundred and twelve dollars like a hundred and ten hundred twelve dollar coupon to get you some more And got these are different totally different Y'all to the point to where a couple of people didn't even recognize me I'm a girl. They ain't that different a couple people at my husband's at my at JB school Literally walked right by me. I'm a girl. So what's in these YouTube streets y'all? I'm so over YouTube. I Am over YouTube as a content creator. I'm over YouTube as a active participant viewer I'm over YouTube. So YouTube is in the middle of this change this shift. We've all noticed that it's happening um, I got an email today about I Tell y'all my business from Google Adsense about monetization for certain type of videos with with particular Specific contents, which I'm not going to go into the details about that girl Um They're also looking to change the way that you edit videos when you upload them They're in the middle of this beta test, which I don't like it because it's you know I just don't like the layout of it So I go in between the classic look to the this beta new design layout for those of us who actually upload videos And so that could be a bit challenging in itself I'm pretty sure there's some Features on there that will make it easier. But right now I ain't got time to learn it right now. I'm busy. I got stuff to do. So Seeing the videos that are Some of the stuff that I'm seeing I'm like, please do not recommend have y'all been noticing Some of the fullery they've been recommended for you to watch Let me get to that in a minute. Um, I did I didn't watch it, but it came across my screen The young lady watching her her hair were done soap and one of y'all asked me are you gonna be watching a hell? No, I'm not no damn pot a spoon. I'm a live human being Um, I didn't catch that video, but I think she posted two days later Let me know if it's the same one y'all the young lady posted two days later And I don't think this has anything to do with her watching her hair were done soap But it's kind of interesting Um She broke out like she's having some scalp issue now. Um, she ate Like I said she ate like an ice cream sandwich and broke out and hi So she had like a hi for something and basically she had an irreligion reaction She's asking for advice and a couple of people like you need to go to the doctor. Yeah, girl You got to go see someone professionally Which by the way, I Oftentimes I'll get people asking for advice with their hair I don't mind giving advice on products But I do not want to be responsible for something that happens to your hair So if you ask me something more than likely I will tell you go see a specialist. I can't see your hair I'm not a not a licensed stylist. So I may say something every now and then But when you have an extreme shedding breakage Issues with your hair. I try not to get involved. Yeah, I try not to get involved This is peppermint tea. Another thing I've been noticing is The type of videos that are being suggested to me Stuff that I have no interest in watching And I will be real quick that you can click on the little three dots or four dots or whatever And click on they're not interested in seeing one of them is van girl van girl Van girl is another youtuber who is living out of her van. I think the concept is Something else. I don't know what to say about it. I just I admire people who could do that Honestly, I do I'm not singing that to be petty or anything. I admire people who can do that who can live in tight tiny spaces I really do. Um, so this young lady is living out of her van and she has a few Videos up now the thing that makes her a little unique is that she has over a million subscribers So that's the thing y'all so there is supposedly, you know room is going around that she is a youtube plant She is an actress that youtube put up And you know, hey, here's a man and yada yada yada My thing is like How the hell did she get her curl so flawless in the damn van? Yeah she has um loose curls and so Yeah, I can't look as a recommendation I watched a little bit of one of them. She was seeing how she basically showers in the gym and all this so Let me get to the point a couple of days ago A article wrote that someone a fan a subscriber randomly showed up to her parents house This is very dangerous for this young lady if she's living in her van and she's posting where she's at She's a petite looking um young girl very cute. Um, and so that could be dangerous, you know what I mean? So y'all I don't know. What do y'all think? Let me know it down in the in the comment section Do you think she's a planner or what? I know nappy had a whole but had briefly talked about a little girl briefly She had a full video on Um, not just talking about her but just youtube engineer when I absolutely agreed with her on certain things. Um The demonetization of videos videos. I have been seeing it. I've been hearing other youtubers complain about it um, I personally have been seeing Uh, a lot of the comments, especially when there's there's children in the video youtube has been, um Shutting down the comment section. So yeah y'all that's been going on um Heard about a couple and I am going to speak about this a little bit Heard about the separation of the interracial couple with the leaders jamie and niki. We have all seen their their pictures Uh all over instagram girl And this is the thing y'all now let me get to to the to marriage scene I found that they were The catalyst for the almost fetish of Interracial couples I definitely don't think that's what their intentions were But you would see all these interracial couples and you will see for them specifically niki and jamie goals relationship goals couple goals. I'm like girl Let me say this if you team swirl you down for swirl I find nothing wrong with you love whoever you love But don't push the narrative that in order for me to be happy. I need to be a full white man No, because at the end of the day Most I hate to say this at the end of the day really doesn't matter about the race And I'm one of my good friends had to learn about this because she She felt that getting her a white knight would save her Not necessarily save her will be would be better for her and baby it turned out it turned out not to be that way Girl people have problems. No matter what race they are. You're gonna have relationship problems. Okay. Um, so child Let me get into the to the marriage piece. I don't know why they they separated I'm not a subscriber of them. I don't watch their channel I really don't watch a lot of family channels of blogs as it is you guys jamie and niki's separation I don't I don't for when I understand that you haven't felt for divorce. They're separated I don't know the reasons why this is what I want to talk about y'all when it comes to marriage marriage is hard I've said this over and over it is work. They were married or have been married for six years, which is like Six years and I know those some of y'all who've been married 20 plus years, baby six years It's it's something because that's history But that is That is small compared to what you are going to go through wait till you hit around that seven eight year mark Girl, he really gonna be getting on your nerves. Um, I've said this before your spouse will get on your nerves 70 to 80 of the time you have to work at it You have to compromise on a lot of things I do some things from my husband all the time that I do not want to do but I do it because I love him, okay um I just don't see how you can have a successful Relation to no matter what type of relationship if you're on youtube or in in front of social media 24 seven That's one of the reasons why I take uh, you know, these little bitty breaks and my husband's not on on cam You know jb's on every now and then but my husband's not on cam for those specific reasons Okay, not only that but but he's private and I want to keep that area that area private but I don't know y'all. Let me know what you think about that too. I just don't see how If both of you are in front of the camera and I know you we don't see everything That's another thing too. We don't see everything that that they are They are choosing to show us what what we see, okay? So but in the same token, I just don't see how you can have a successful marriage and the same thing with reality tv I don't see how you can have a successful if you're there front and center all the time I need to have time. Not only do I need to have time for my family. I need to have time for myself. Okay, um, so, yeah, um That's all I'm gonna say about that. Yeah marriage is hard. It's difficult You have to work at it and this is the thing you both have to want to work at it It just can't be one-sided if someone's not in it It may not work, okay So you both have to be able to work at it use communication has to be on point and my husband and he's We're struggling with that and I'm just gonna be honest with that's something that we struggle with till today, but You have to be able to Change your communication style based on that individual my husband is an intro an extreme introvert He's very quiet. I had to admit to my best friend. I said my husband rarely talks throughout the day He has his way of communicating But he's not the type to get up in the morning and say hey, good morning, honey. How are you doing? No, that's not no That's not him. Now her husband the opposite. He runs his mouth all the time He talks a lot and she's the complete opposite So, you know, you have that struggle of coming either over communicating or a lack of communicating But at the end of the day you have to come together and you know, so, um Yeah, it's hard. Like I said, it's really hard and at the end of the day I feel bad for the children because that's who suffer, you know, I mean, that's who that's who really ends up suffering. Um You have to be we have to be really careful who we and this is just even beyond marriage We have to be really careful who we choose as spouses who we choose to have children with I am seeing a huge Um Generation of fatherless children. Sometimes it's not the woman's fault. Um, but sometimes it is I'm seeing a huge generation of fatherless children I'm seeing an upcoming generation that don't believe in marriage due to the history of either their parents or or Not having any examples of marriage is oftentimes you'll hear people say, oh my great grandparents were married this long or you know Even my grandparents got divorced though. You know what I mean? So Um, I oftentimes wonder what will society look like in another 20 30 years from now because now these millennials A lot of them don't believe in marriage. Now. Yeah, a lot of them are still People are still getting married and people will still change their mind But you have a lot of people who don't believe in the foundation of marriage. They don't believe in marriage Um, and I was talking to a an older woman the other day And she was shocked to hear a young man say that him and his girlfriend. We're gonna have Plain don't have them baby, but they're not gonna get married And so she was she was like what he was like, yeah, because you know, most people marriage doesn't work anyway. So what's the point? That's a whole nother discussion. We're not going to go down there rabbit hole Yeah, my camera hold on y'all My battery on my old camera was on my new camera was getting low So I'm on my old camera to excuse the quality girl, but we're gonna keep it moving. Okay I told y'all y'all this has been a challenge for me. It's been a challenge. Um So what I've been watching on tv girl first of all I've been watching this about everything you could think of that that stuff. I like to watch so I finished the oa, which was very interesting girl, but there were a couple of scenes in there I was like this shit is weird as hell. It was the weirdest TV show I had ever seen honey. That was one scene where I was like, oh lord Octopus about the molestous woman. It was yeah, it was like that really weird really weird But I liked it and unfortunately I just heard that Netflix would not be renewing them for a season three. I'm sorry y'all if I'm looking over here Netflix would not be renewing them for season three. So I'm a little bit bumped out about that I'm currently watching bloodline which further confirms that sometimes family ain't nothing This is a show called bloodline with uh, what's her name cc's basic with that cute little nose. Um Try to get into 3% t I tried to but it's a little weird I looked at the first episode. It's called the 3% is is based out of where is it based out is it brazil portuguese It's weird I may need to yeah, I may need to try again. Um I started to watch since eight y'all call me old school. Whatever. I don't know what you want to call Hell I supposed to be doing my hair y'all. What y'all tell me? I'm supposed to be moisturizing my hair. Ciao So I A good 15 minutes. I went by hell. I am using the mesh line. I'm just gonna moisturize y'all Lord have mercy. Vivian get your way. Anyway, um Oh, it's so small. It's good. So y'all yeah since eight Like I said, call me old school real quick one of the ways that I ensure that my twist outs look great is that I only re retwist the front because that's how you looking at I retwist the front and sometimes the crown That is it. So that's what we're gonna do now Since eight has way too much sex All types of sex there was once I had to like turn it off There was one scene where they was like a huge orgy with everyone. I was like, what the hell is going I can't look at that stuff y'all. I just can't I mean, I never I never could you know, I just No, and I don't want to look at that. Okay, if I want to look at porn I would turn on what you one of those uh with porn hub or something like that. I don't want to look at sex. Okay um So no, I'm not watching that You know what I do like to watch y'all. I really do like those those cheap budget Uh movies a black movie specifically. I like those movies. Like what is that? Um, the man in apartment 3b With old boy from why did I get married? I like that movie I was watching another movie with vivica fox. I'm using a little bit of her Hydrating and twisting butter to retwist. Like I said, just the front area What else is going on y'all? So that's about it. Not a lot of stuff going on right now. I'm watching jackie brown I love jackie brown. I love that movie by one of my in my opinion my favorite quentin Tarantino movie he could be a bit much too. Yeah, I think he has an obsession with the n word I really do he he yeah He has an obsession with it That and feet. I noticed that with his movies. He's weird as hell I'm home life girl. Whoo y'all When I tell you our summer was crazy our summer was crazy y'all y'all jb drove me absolutely Crazy some days and y'all have to realize he is with me all the time And so he was really trying my nerves really trying it But this is a lesson learned. I think that one of the things that we would definitely be doing Is increasing his time at camp. Um, he can't be at home driving me crazy He really can't I love my baby to death, but he could be a bit much um And he's just not listening. I mean, that's that's this age. But um school is started for us august first I know it started really early down here and um One of the things we started with jb is because every week I feel like he needs money for school and I'm like Like either they either have an ice cream at school. That's a dollar. They have dressed down. They that's a dollar They're having a book sale. They're having cupcakes. So JB is at the age now He just started first grade where he can understand the value of money. So we are starting him on a He already has his chores on getting paid to do chores and girl we we're being cheap But jb's so humble then when we told him he would get a dollar When we told him he would get a dollar for get for doing chores, he was like a dollar But I update y'all. I told him that you know He we have a little chart. I have a little a little chart and he's still young enough to where he gets excited by stickers. So um, he has a little list of chores is less than 10 chores And if he decides to do something outside of the box, then he gets a little sticker and if he gets five stickers, then he Um throughout the week, then he will get five dollars. You know, he's like, um, so so can I can I look he's trying to negotiate So after I get three stickers, can I get paid because I told him payday is on fridays I said no, you can't get paid early JB. I can't go to my employer and ask him if I can I said, no You cannot get paid early. I said if you keep messing with me, I'm gonna deduct some of your pay I said no, baby. I'm not gonna do that. I'm not gonna deduct your pay. So He's getting on a little he gets basically an allowance and I know some people like my child ain't gonna get no allowance They need to do what they're supposed to do in my opinion an allowance teaches them To get paid for their chores teaches them about money management teachers and responsibility Um and calls in effect because I'm serious if he starts to act a fool Then you know, he won't get paid. You know what I mean? So it's good to start this stuff early. Um So, yeah, that's what we're starting with him. Look at that y'all hair is growing. I did cut my split ends I'm just gonna retwist these few. Why did y'all tell me I had to be Y'all y'all should have told me That I was behind that I that I should have been doing my hair. That was the whole point of the chit chat girl um The future of this channel Yes, I told y'all how I felt about youtube in general and you know when those things kind of happen when you hear about their possibly being Uh youtube hiring actresses or having people it makes those of us who are really working on our channel It kind of makes us like what's the point, you know, you get a little discouraged sometimes Girl this sd car. So I has five minutes. Oh, well um We get a little discouraged and then when you run into issues like I'm having with my um equipment and just Just busy with life in general you like what's the point? You know what I mean? And then it doesn't become fun anymore. It just doesn't become fun Um, and this started off with me as a hobby. Okay, so those you don't know I'm repeating again I feel like I'm doing this a lot, but I'm still getting still till today I'm seeing requests from people asking me to review products. No I have two or three more product reviews that I I withheld from you guys And that's it. There will be no unless somebody unless jane quarter come out and say look, I got this new bangin line I'm not reviewing any new products. I'm not reviewing any more anymore product lines at all. I'm just not um My hair needs to have A break and one of the things that miss earlet talked about which makes so much She's told me this before she told me this three years ago. She's like, you know, vivian You use way too many products on your hair Because what's happening is that you may be you may use a product that's great And then, you know, you see great results And then you use another product that leaves your hair dry and it was happened to me when I've used I remember once using two horrible products in a row um main and tail And my product my hair was just Did not respond well and so you she's right you have that downtime where your hair almost has to reset itself But then when you're continuing to use new products after new products, I am using When I was actively reviewing products, I was using about three to four products new products a week Add that up for years add it up. That's a lot. My hair has stayed at the same broad strap length forever Okay, no new product reviews instead. We will be focusing on hair care and styles Okay, y'all and so yeah, that's it. That's it with my hair. I just wanted to retwist those few And yeah, what do y'all think about that? Well, and I've always been wanting to do that. I've been touring around with that idea. Um So that is where we're going with my channel No new product reviews will be focused on hair care styles And yeah, y'all will go from there now. I will continue vlogging. I will continue these chit chats But I have a deep thinking feeling that next year will be my last year as an active youtuber And what I mean by that is consistently posting Right now I try to post between two to three times a week. That's very consistent But y'all I'm I'm getting tired and like I said, this is becoming more like I have to do it Instead of I want to do it and I don't want to come off that way So I think this will be it for me. We'll see how it goes if something changes I will always communicate that with y'all. So that is it y'all my first chit chat after a while Thank y'all for hanging in there with me. Y'all take care. Bye
