The other day I was perusing through You Tube and I stumbled across this beauty channel owned by a fellow Trini. Girlll, I got so excited ! Why ? Well it is refreshing to see a Trini woman in the You Tube beauty world doing her thing AND I saw a haul video from her. Gotta love that combination!
I began watching her video and immediately I got disappointed. No smile, no humility. All I was hearing was how much she spent and how her boyfriend bought her expensive makeup. I mean really ? No valuable information to really help me as a viewer. Not impressive at all. Her lack of genuineness really stood out to me and inspired me to post this today.
The message I want to bring across is that whatever we set out to do in this life , whether its You Tube videos, blogging , our jobs etc always be humble and stay grounded. It actually reflects in your work/ personality and your viewer can definitely sense it. Too many times in this world especially in the fashion/ beauty industry you come across people with this 'stush' sorta attitude. It is so unattractive and can be intimidating for some people. I mean why do you choose ( yes I said choose) to be so negative when it is sooooo much easier and better for you to be positive and exuding happiness ? A little smile can go a very long way.
I want to give props to the girl though. She is brave enough to sit in front of the camera and share with everyone. It's something I want to do eventually but haven't found the courage as yet, so kudos to her for that.
I know this post/ little rant deviates from the rest of my blog but I felt compelled to share this little experience and advice with everyone. I needed to get it off my chest.
Feel free to add any further thoughts in the comment section. I'd love to hear from you.

That type of attitude can be such a turn-off, especially on a public platform, but go deeper beneath the surface and ask yourself "Why does she (or anyone) feel the need to 'show off'?'. I always feel people act like that when they want/need validation from their audience -- then I end up feeling a bit sorry for them, ughh!
