I know about depression at 57 I also learned how to manage it by just being grateful. I'm still alive and have everything I need. turns out, a husband wasn't part of the plan or kids, so I just give thanks for what is.😊 Dating made me depressed 😅 Just remember you are beautiful and have a long life to live ❤️

Thank you for your transparency and letting people know they’re not alone. It just proves that you never know what people are going through. I’m glad to see you back!

When I start to feel depressed, I pray to the Lord and he helps me through it. I am always better afterwards.

I know people who truly suffer from this and I APPROVE OF YOU TAKING TIME OFF. Thanks for talking to us about this, I hope others will reach out and also show compassion to others. Let's uplift others and let's also touch base with those around us, because many people keep things like this to themselves!!

True confession! I’m a shopper girl, but my friends are not. I LOVE how you get sooo EXCITED about shopping and fashion! I need this kind of energy!!!

Shannah I am so glad you shared about dealing with seasonal depression, because so many people need to know that they are not alone. I had a ruff time and thanks for the suggestions. Love your videos and I’m always waiting for the next one❤❤❤

No, don’t distress your jeans. All you have to do is get lestoil oil, you can get it at your local grocery store. Pour it on the soil spot rub it together. I will let it sit for a little bit and wash as you normally would. It’s even gonna smell like oil but believe me it will take the stain out just like it did my white skirt that got grease on it from the escalator. It was a long white skirt and it was covered in oil at the bottom. I thought it was ruined, my Mamacita told me about Lestoil oil and it works amazingly . It took the spot out like it was never there and the smell. She used it to clean her sons work clothes he use to work with oils and heavy industrial grease . It always removed the stains from his clothes as if they were never there.

Thanks for the transparency. Sometimes when in the Valley you think you are alone. I have been in the valley for a while and know that even in the Valley there's sunshine. Im also taking the time to pray, learn & Reflect.

My husband and I recently went down to Miami and listened we had the conversation of how life needs to change. We were walking around in shorts, open toe shoes and wow we both didn’t know how much we needed it.

It takes a big person to share such vulnerability and bring awareness to the masses. Love your channel and glad to hear you’re doing better 😊

I so appreciate your talk about seasonal depression. It hit me hard this year also.

Dearest, Shannah. Sending you love this Saturday evening as I just finished watching your excellent video. In just a few short hours, your beautiful community sent you so much love. I am grateful for the community that you have created. We love you and know that you don't need permission to take the time that you need to engage in self-care. I so honor your transparency and vulnerability- thank you for being you- Simply Shannah!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

“Please Hold” has been me all winter!!! Thank you.

Love all your videos! Praying that seasonal depression gets better. 🙏

I felt you in the pause… thank you for being transparent

Seasonal depression is for real. A light box can help. There’s one called Happy Light that’s good. Getting out/trips and a little retail therapy helps too. You found some gems in your haul. Those LV black sequined heels though……..😍😍😍😍

When something makes you happy . . . you need them. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Glad u feel better!! Have a sunshiny week❤

I really understand this because my husband suffers with seasonal depression. He often says he hates the winter, the dark days and I can physically see the mood change. I think I will try for us to take a trip in the sun during the winter. Thank you for sharing and giving great suggestions. I ❤you sis, your my KZread bestie! I mentioned you in a magazine interview I did. You and Monroe Steele are my girls! ❤❤❤😊😊😊

Yes, I can relate with feeling depressed a times, Thanks you!

I am a black female physician and I cannot tell you how you just blessed your followers. Trying to guide our community to a place where they feel safe talking about and seeking care for their mental health has been a passion but a struggle. The more and more people who look like us talk about it, the safe and safer we will feel. Now, SHOW US THE CLOTHES!

Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I know this all too well had a total breakdown at 55, im now 57 and still healing. Thank you for sharing so that people know this is real and you should not be ashamed. My breakdown has led to me rebuilding, i'm better and a different person with different priorities now and i love it! So i am encouraging all to take care of your mental health before you have the breakdown even though with me it was much needed and i am so grateful for it❤ Not sure why my husbands pic pops up that's not me lol

I live in Tampa,Fl. Born and Raised. I pray that you're feeling better. The Hyde Park area is really nice. I live near Bayshore. You need Sunshine and Waterviews. Columbia Resturant, cuban sandwiches, deviled crabs etc... Let me know next time your're coming.❤

We know you do this out of love for community and creativity. We appreciate your consistency and understand you need me time and need to replenish your spirit. These are trying times, and yet you owe us nothing and give so much.

It’s me who needs to hear it. I stayed home on Friday in bed allday my Doctor told me I need to live in a warmer climate. The winter makes me so depressed. Thank you so much for this.. ❤❤❤❤

I appreciated you sharing because I am struggling with seasonal depression right now. It feels good to know I am not alone. Your message was definitely for me this morning.

Your transparency meant so much to me

Your authenticity has always been your superpower. I’m glad your Tampa getaway helped.. it’s was unusually rough this winter for me as well and I rushed to the sun & it helped…on another these barrel jeans are cute!

You ramble all you want girl....I love the conversations . And I too had a rough period of seasonal depression period this year. Thanks for the recommendation to get away during the winter to reset.

I'm so happy that you found and did what works best for you. 💖🤗 That's such a beautiful thing. We're with you all of the way, from update to haul. 😊 Tfs 🌿🌻🌿

I had to pause right when you started talking about seasonal depression. Between the weather and the state of NYC subway system I’m beyond depressed 😢. And with life just off track the depression is real but I’m still fighting through ❤

so true, thank you for sharing. Living on the east coast is ROUGH im so glad Spring is near. Starting to feel like myself again.

Me ✋🏾……I needed to hear it. You’re not alone babygirl. We gonna get thru this.

Show me the clothes 😅! I can relate. I have been living in NYC for four years and this year was rough, so I went to visit my family in Savannah and I needed it! I didn't know what I was feeling but I think it was seasonal depression! I am so happy you said something! Now back to the haul ❤!

Same here...I had the worst Seasonal Depression ever... Normally I plan a trip in February and I was also along. Thank God I was seeing a therapist at the time... So can relate..

Cuddles hope with the days getting longer and the sun starting to peek now you feel better soon ❤

Thank you so much for sharing your story I thought I was going crazy every fall winter I cry I’m not motivated nothing happens for me in the winter but sorrow ,so I’ll be spending winter in St. Petersburg Florida thanks to you my husband finally believes me thank you thank you thank you ❤❤❤

This winter has been rough!! SAD was on beast mode!

Thank you for addressing it. I get like this as well as a New Yorker.

Hi Shannah! I am glad you took some time to just get away and there was someone you could go and stay by. Show me the clothes!😊 Thank you for sharing that part of yourself with us 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤❤❤

thank you for sharing your seasonal depression journey. Super encouraging. Blessings to you

🌻🌷🌞This is for you when you are having a bad day. I've been there and know your struggle😊😊

Seasonal depression is very real.I totally understand. I'm the same way. Winter is depressing. Its cold the days are short and I hate being in the cold so im trapped in my home most of the day. I also work from home 5 days a week. The clocks changing and the days are now getting longer its better. Last winter I went to St. Lucia .Your right about booking vacations during the winter. It helps.

I cannot WAIT to see you in the Atico jeans!! You are going to rock these!! I already know!!👌🏾

I literally clapped when you showed the Loewe Jeans. It is gorgeous!!!. Please keep doing the Lord's work!!!

Its okay Sheannah, get that amazing sun. Walk around outside during your lunchtime daily🙏

Thank you for your transparency Shannah, you truly are helping so many people. I am here sis for everything yoi talking about 😊

Wear them 100 more times lol 😂 loving the new black jeans the citizens are my favorite glad I invested … glad you are feeling motivated

Love your videos! I can’t hang with you with your luxury items but I’m grateful for your content ! Live your personality and your sense of humor! You have a full, life and I know you are grateful for every loss and win! I’m riding in with you till the wheels fall off 😊

I’m so happy you’re feeling better, I missed you! Take care sweetie!

Shanna!! Same! It's been rough and I love Tampa. Glad you got your vitamin Sun in.

Those LV heels are gorgeous!!

Yes on the black shoes! 😁👍

Nice denim top. Madewell is the sister company to JCrew!! Glad you’re feeling better💕

Yes, I am also familiar with seasonal depression. Thank you for sharing Shannah❤ this has definitely helped. I always say that the sun gives me my super powers.😊

Girl! I never heard of seasonal depression until the words came out of your mouth! But I KNOW I went into a FUNK this past October and I was stuck there, doing NUTHIN, until well into March! I had no idea what was wrong with me. I just “didn’t feel like it”. Now I’m thinking maybe I had seasonal depression! It’s nice to have a NAME for a thing, even if you don’t have a fix for it. Yet. Loving your video 💖💕

Thank you Queen for your vulnerability, it is radiant!

You have such a great spirit. Thx for your transparency. I always look forward to your videos. Please continue to take care of yourself. Thx for shouting out Anthropologie. My favorite store!

I’m glad the change of scenery had a positive impact on your spirit. A trip doesn’t have to be extravagant to be impactful, especially when you’re visiting a friend. That’s important too, as much as we can keep in touch via the phone it’s nothing like seeing a good friend in person. And Madewell denim is it, their curvy line is clutch for those w/ a lil commotion in the back 😉

Show me the clothes! ; LOL -- seriously, sorry to hear about your struggles. One of the great things about working the in the airline industry is the ability to "change the weather". I work inflight at another airline but even when my seniority is low I've made sure to include crap layovers to sunny locations (my fave is San Juan, PR then any FL, Mexico or Central America). People with melanin need more sun exposure especially living in NYC and out of our ancestral environments. I hope you continue to incorporate quick getaways. Even just sitting by the hotel pool in the sun or on a patio a few hours works wonders. All the best!

Thank you so much for sharing. I appreciate you.

This is always helpful. Thank you for sharing. I appreciate your transparency! Sending you love and light!!!

Shannah we thank you for sharing this intimate part of your life. Sometimes we go through things and don’t realize that others go through the same. Keep God first in your life and it will make anything easy to deal with. I love love love your content. I look forward to seeing all of your new pieces and how well you interchange your outfits. We definitely love your style. Can’t wait to see the next vlog.

Thank you !!!!!! Depression is 💔

I am with you on the seasonal depression. Go through it every year. On my way to Paris this year and can’t wait. Lived in Arizonia January to April 2022. Looking to do it again January to June 2025. I live in Wisconsin and the dreariness is real. It’s called frays.

Loved this video babes.....happy to see you feeling better after your getaway. Continue to take care of yourself and keep serving fab style🫶🏽

Can't wait to see the clothes, lol. But thanks for sharing your struggle. I'm so happy to hear you got some sun!

Yes, I’m in CT , so we’re cousins and this Tri-State weather has been horrible, too much rain and cold. Plus even with supportive friends and family , life can still get complicated and you feel overwhelmed or get into a state of depression We have to do so much just to keep our spirits high to take on the challenges of another day That’s why vacations and sabbaticals are needed

I always love your videos and await for the next one. You are not alone...seasonal depression is real and I'm glad you visited your friend and had a good time in FL.

Thank you for sharing! Someone did need to hear that. Stayed until the end.

I enjoyed the whole video it was such a blessing to see you keep it real and I'm sure there was someone else that needed to hear it I pray God's blessings keep up the good work❤

To remove the oil stain, all you need to do is rub a little aloe vera hand soap on the area. Let it sit for about 30 minutes then wash them in the delicate or gentle cycle.

Show me the clothes! Thank you for sharing your experience with how the winter affected you. I am SO HAPPY to hear that your overnight trip to Tampa what just what the doctor ordered! ❤❤❤

Thank you for being so vulnerable with us about seasonal depression. When you said you work and go home that resonated with me. A Change of scenery is so important. Thank you for the suggestion.

The food at the Oxford Exchange in Tampa is awesome. I think you would enjoy restaurants in downtown Saint Petersburg (outside seating)-about 20 minutes or so across the bridge from Tampa.

Did I need them, no I did not 😂 that's my thought process too lol

I absolutely appreciate hearing this… I felt so alone in my suffering this winter. I’m also in NY. I was rough for me also. Yea! I’m definitely going to plan for a mini vacation next January late February right before Daylight savings time. Thank you again for sharing 🙏🙏

Like vogue is calling. Its a good time. 🎉🎉🎉

LoveU! Great video. Thanks for sharing. God is good.❤️❤️❤️

Thank you so much.I felt all off this. I appreciate the authenticity..Bless you❤

Great video... thanks for the tips regarding seasonal depression.

Thank you for your openness. Many of us have the change in our moods but can’t name it. Thanks for helping to make a safe space to acknowledge we are not alone!❤

Thank you for sharing, Shannah. It's been a rough year, since the death of my daughter. I never thought about flying out for just a day. I am now seriously considering it!!!

I’m so glad you’re feeling better. I have this same issue and I struggle during the winter months. I need to remind myself to seek sun during the dreary months.

I was with you, during the whole video. I just love your content; thank you.

I needed to hear what uou said. I'm definitely planning my vacations in December and February going forward. Thanks

great video! thank you for the transparency! glad you are doing better!

I’m 44 and I live in Chicago and our winters are normally pretty brutal. Luckily, global warming has made our winters less of a deep freeze. However, the lack of sun definitely gives me seasonal depression come January, which, unfortunately is also my birthday month. I have made it a point the past five years to always schedule a vacation in December or January to somewhere that has warmth and sun. Getting a break from the dark and cold is a must for my mental well-being, so I understand completely what you are going through. ❤

SimplyShannah you are very welcome I so adore you I always watch your videos until the end and this is the first time I cursed your tail out with these jeans prices LOL.

I love this! I can definitely relate to the seasonal depression. It’s like I’m full aware of it, it’s annual return, and even when I’m in the thick of it … but snapping out of it is so hard. Thanks for being so transparent. I’m definitely going to start booking winter trips in January/December. Maybe even a New Year’s Eve trip. Love your adventures.

I totally feel you. I was totally feeling seasonally depressed, coupled with everyday life stressors. I just wanted to be alone other than going to work and being around my children. It’s a real thing!!!!

As you were talking I began to cry because. Iam still fighting seasonal depression. I felt that❤

That's a beautiful shoe. Love it!

Good to see you! I was wondering... thought HR had you busy! Definitely saw your type of video being emulated but there is only one you! Love your fashion choices and the enthusiasm! Stay up sis,

Thank you for sharing your struggles and it’s lovely to see that you are feeling so much better. So now we know, sunshine and retail therapy, CAN be medicine! 🥰

I love your content. Thank you for sharing your journey and those great new pieces to buy. Take care 🤗❤️

Shannah, good day, I always look forward to your content,you are not alone, I get like that at times to during the winter, I surround myself with friends and family and push through.Shannah this to will past,sending love and blessings to you❤

I was just having the same conversation. I don't recall ever having seasonal depression, but this winter, it hit me hard! There was something about this winter. I am happy that you are bouncing back ❤

So glad you're happy and doing better. I loved the video. Thanks for sharing and also putting me on to some pieces, because when I hear you say 10 out of 10, I'm like ok, click link. Lol. Have a wonderful week ahead🙏🏾❤

Shannah every time I come to your channel I get got. I had to get the barrel jeans from Anthropologie. The influencing is influencing go girl. Great finds thanks for sharing.🤣
