It actually is, studies have shown that if one is exposed to mass amounts of highly attractive people shown in the media, it will have a negative impact on how they perceive their partner’s attractiveness or general people on the street. You may still look the same, but beauty is not tangible, if one is exposed to more highly attractive people, the bar of attractiveness will raise, so u may have been perceived as a 7, but now you’re perceived as a 5.

beauty is also in your rituals, your courageousness, your style, and your willingness to allow yourself to be human. It’s so much beauty I feel in simply just allowing yourself to just be.

Something I learnt recently is that you don't need to look like a super model to have pretty privalege or to be beautiful, you don't need to have model features, or be a certain weight or anything. All you need to do to be beautiful is dress for your body type and take care of your health. Learning this has helped me so much and has made me feel so much more beautiful. I also learnt that beauty standards change depending on the timeline and cultures that exist within our planet. Any feature that you're insecure about will be or has been a trend at some point in time or at some place of the world. I genuinely believe everybody is beautiful including myself.

“Just because you feel you lack something doesn't mean you gain nothing”. For some reason that opened my eyes. Not because I usually feel jealousy per se, but because I treat myself so badly sometimes. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I really needed to hear every part of this video. In todays day and age, people become so consumed in the physicality of beauty and forget that beauty is fully within oneself. I feel that’s one of the major reasons people find it hard to love themselves

she’s literally right. she clarified my entire journey with beauty and self-image. the passion/care you find in what you love is beautiful. loving yourself and realizing your inherent worth is vital. something that made me understand that i wasn’t valuing myself was the realization that i constantly denied myself little things bc i felt i wasn’t worth it without a certain requirement being fulfilled. ie, i couldn’t put on perfume or makeup if i wasn’t going out, even if i wanted to do it. i couldn’t wear my favorite clothes if i wasn’t going somewhere worth it, even if i wanted to wear them. whenever i did that, it was a declaration of: “i alone am not worth the money/time spent on the things that i love or that make me feel good”. that is what i was saying. but i’ve finally come to realize that no, i am worth indulging in the little things that make me happy with no external sources to validate that. i am reason enough. beauty WILL come to you when you view yourself with value and then proceed to respect your value.

It’s actually the first time ever I feel so calm and connected to my inner self! I’ve started watching Karissa’s channel recently and just feel so safe here! Always rewatch and background play your videos, so thankful for you and your creativity, girl! Bright blessings ❤

so true, i feel much more content with myself and definitely calmer since i started watching karissa.

hi karissa- i am in my teens and i struggle a lot with self-image. i have a history of disordered eating, and i have been diagnosed with depression and anxiety. this video made me cry. you are a very big inspiration for me-you're kind, loving, smart, and beautiful (everything that i would like to be). when you're stuck in a depressive hole, especially when combined with an ED, it is incredibly difficult to see the light at the end of the tunnel. i am not traditionally attractive to euro-centric beauty standards-i am short, i have a big nose, and while i am relatively thin, i am not considered skinny by many. i rarely, if ever, receive compliments, and i often feel that i am unloved. this video really opened my eyes to why i feel so ugly all the time, and i am going to try to implement many of the concepts and tips that you mentioned in this video. recovery and healing is difficult, but i will try my best, and that is all that matters. thank you so much , angel xoxo

You seem very well spoken and wise. Embrace these beautiful character traits. A lot of the insecurities i had in my teens completly vanished, now that im in my early twenties.I used to dislike my big nose and hooded eyes. Now these are one of my favorit face traits. Much love to you ❤️

I’m not even finished with the video and I already love it and agree so much. “Stay away from those people. They are ugly and their ugly will rub off on you.” Also, as someone who is still in the process of healing emotionally, thank you for the reminders that my reactions can be ugly. This is a good context and puts those behavior patterns into a perspective I’ve never seen them in.

Ever since having a baby I do feel ugly but I have, and always will, complimented people on their beauty and other things besides beauty too.

I’m three months postpartum and although I have gratitude for what my body did to bring new life into this world, not to mention that I feel lucky for being able to return to the figure I had prior to pregnancy, it can absolutely be difficult to navigate through the feelings we have about these new versions of ourselves! I have new stretch marks and loose skin in places where I didn’t before and I don’t always recognize those parts of me.. but we are only human and it’s ok to let these feelings come and pass! as long as we keep moving forward and continue to grow. I hope you can see the beauty in your new life giving body because it IS miraculous and feminine and wonderful 🤍

"no one on this earth is perfect, so why are you chasing something that does not exist" this is something I really needed to hear. thank you Karissa :]

beauty is an abstraction from you're identity. Once you don't see it as you're identity and value you are free. You're energy, life perspective, how you feel, you're experience, is you're life force, is you're beauty to you.

I think these words have been said to me by now I've lost count of how many times and the truth is that I've always ignored them until I started listening to myself a little more without putting the problem aside. Living in an environment where I am often underestimated or judged, made me feel the need to loving myself, I had to love my soul or no one before me would have done it. This video affirmed the words that have been present in my life and I want to thank you. I genuinely want to thank you for being a point of reference and above all a sort of older sister. You are a wonderful person and I am deeply proud of you. I have been following you for a long time and I have perceived a strong connection between all of us. I love this channel but I especially love you and what you broadcast, it gives me a feeling of peace and harmony. I hope that one day you will make all your dreams come true, people never stop dreaming and living. Take care of yourself, I love you angel.❤

I love what she has to say. Being intentional matters! All great advice! I feel this so deeply!

On one hand you said- function from love, meet people with love. On the other hand you called people who act on their insecurities energy vampires. Both can’t go hand in hand. When you truly function from love, you are able to see why people do what they do. For this instance- if somebody is acting on their insecurities, that is happening bcz they don’t know any better. Functioning from love here would be to see their pain and sufferings and see how they cannot see their own limitations and feel compassion for them. You won’t feel the need to distance yourself from people who you’re labelling as energy vampires when you truly stand strong in who you are and you know no matter who you’re with or what negative circumstances you’re surrounded with, nothing will ever break you or shake you. A person truly functioning from love would never give another human being any kind of negative label. Your mere presence should be a complete embodiment of warmth and comfort.

you are an incredible role model for young girls like me, i hope you know that. i have dealt with social anxiety, insecurity, and jealousy for as long as i can remember and these are some of the first pieces of advice that truly, truly, helped and it truly feels like you're coming from a place of knowing how it is and WANTING to help others to grow

Thank you for this video Karissa♥️ everything you said hit me good & i am ready to HEAL and really become my most beautiful self inside & out. Thank you for your time and kindness. We love you!!!

This felt like an awakening truly 🤍✨️

you gave me a new perspective of life and i’m so grateful you posted this. thank you💗

One of my most favorite videos you’ve done! Your wisdom is so powerful & uplifting. Would absolutely love more life advice videos from you

you're so so real for posting this, I adore this video and I can relate a lot to what you're saying, beauty is an energy.

your videos are so comforting

This is such a good way to look at the world, it’s so true that beauty is nothing specific like having a button nose or a skinny waist but the way a person acts and the things they care about, love your videos x

I was watching this while getting ready and looking at myself in the mirror and I felt this wave of self love run through my body and I started crying and gave myself a huge hug ❤

you have such a lovely way of breaking down what beauty truly is, thank you 🤍

I love this video so much and helped me to view life and how I act in a different way ♡ I always had a feeling and urge to do things with love but because of how people had taken advantage of that it made me scared to act on that urge of love but I feel that now I just have to stay away from people like that and hope they can be better in life. This encouraged me and validated my feelings to act more loving towards others I am so thankful !! ♡

I loved this video. The more you worry and hate yourself the uglier you are. The more you adore and accept yourself the prettier you are. It’s basic concepts. It’s not complicated. And do stuff to make you feel good and enhance your beauty.

This video was so needed! Shouting from the rooftops! We NEED to lift each other up NOT tear each other down!!!

this was a lovely video to watch. you’re very articulate and intentional with the way that you relay your message. what you said about recognizing beauty in others to see it in myself, i felt in my soul. thank you youtube algorithm for recommending me this video❤️

This was so enlightening to hear thank you Karissa 💋❤️

Omg wait also congrats on seeing Lana It’ll be one of the best days of your life! I saw her during the endless summer tour in 2015 & I’m so grateful

you’re genuinely so so beautiful so I immediately knew this video was going to be amazinggg and LOVE your views on spirituality as a fellow practitioner I feel seen❤

thank you so much, I'm literally crying cause I've been feeling so lost lately and you've changed my perspective in many ways

Listened to this twice, first to soak in, second to fully digest and note-take. You are AMAZING inside out, we see your beauty because we see our own

U have taught me so much. I tend to stress myself and make myself insecure a lot. Sometimes I can’t help it and your words help me a lot. I’ll try reminding myself to be kind and grateful

Im on my lunch break rn and watching this because I really needed a minute and I’ve seen only 1 video before and your beauty is from within and shines so bright even on the outside. Thank you for being so powerful and knowing the strength in your words. You represent so many thing but beautiful is definitely one of them. I never knew i needed this from another women and i love you so much you are so blessed 💐✝️

thank you so soo much for this angel. ive been through a lot and now im going to try to heal and grow like a little flower. i want to bloom, but things can only bloom if you take care of them and show them love. i didnt realize that before this. i think somewhere i thought id still be better if i hurt myself. im sending you lotsa love :D thank u for your gentleness and beauty. mwah

this is first video i am watching from Karissa and OMG I luv it!!! fr her aura is amazing and as someone who loves LANA the most this is beautiful surprise to find someone intelligent and supportive like LDR ... luv

PREACH 🙌🏻 i love this take on beauty and the correlation with love. thank you for this ❤

thank you, Karissa. this video is what i needed. you helped me to recognize some things about me, about my insecurities. i definitely will work on myself and become a person like you: who radiates the energy of love, who sees the beauty in other people, who prioritize themselves, who loves themselves. you inspirating me to develop. thank you so much!!

love these types of videos! 100% truth love u Karissa

i love when i open youtube and i see a video like this recommended to me it just always lifts up my mood, no matter how much i work on doing better its always nice to get a reminder like this

exactly ur literally so beautiful bc of ur magnetic aura , ur gorg inside AND out ily

its so refreshing to hear someone else talking about beauty this way, and recognizing how much of a construct modern beauty standards are. LOVE! and thank you :)

This is probably one of my favorite videos of yours ❤

Im so happy to see how fast your channel is growing

your energy really is incredible, i started this video in such a bad headspace and was ready to completely disregard everything you said. i kept listening and at first i had a negative reply for what you were saying. as i kept listening i began to feel better and im so glad i kept listening. i was feeling poorly because i am very anxious because tomorrow i know i will have to have many pictures taken of me. this video made me feel better about that, your smile is so bright and its so wonderful how you can make other people smile like that. ill be trying to find things about myself like that, continue doing what you do:))

I searched up "How to feel beautiful" (and your video popped up and I saw how ethereal you looked) which reminded me of when I was younger and insecure I had searched this up. I once felt VERY beautiful, didn't compare myself to others, and highly maintained myself. My insecurity recently started when an ex (two years ago) called me fat when I was significantly skinnier (no details about what size). I derailed after being put on medications for my health and one of the side effects was weight gain. I gained over 50 pounds since then (I also entered a new relationship and he cooks well haha.) I wanna feel beautiful again and I forgot it all starts on the inside

Thank you for sharing this with us! I love this type of videos, so true what you say, what being beautiful really is not only capitalized things society make us believe we need but what it is (energy). And we all are energy we just need to be conscient about it and work on it in healthy ways.

This was absolutely phenomenal. I send you my love.

Hello. I discovered you lately through a makeup tutorial you made then I watched a few more video of yours, and I totally love your content. I like your energy and the topics you talk about in your channel. I am currently healing from bad experiences I went through in the previous years so your content came in the perfect time for me. Thank you so much 👑

I didn’t know what to expect clicking on this video but found it in a very insecure headspace. Thank you so much for this video. These values and intentions are mind opening and I needed to hear these perspectives. 💙

this video has made me cry. i was expecting a list of certain things i have to do or routines i have to implement.. you are so refreshing. thank you. beauty is a feeling, i need to reflect and smoke and redefine beauty for myself.. not what others want or think, but me.

Thank you so much for this, I have so much respect and appreciation for you and your beautiful perspective🤍

something i would like to add is learning about transmuting energy! learning to transmute energy changed my life. taking my insecure, unloving thoughts where i felt like i wasn’t beautiful and learning to start transmuting those negatives energies into positive energy made me a better person. you can transmute anyones negative energy into positive too besides an energy vampire so it’s best to use your own tools for protection when you identify those energy vamps around you. you’re a star karissa, thank you for having such a strong voice and using your platform to share your thoughts and encourage these gifts of beauty in others 💌
