Thank you Abercrombie for sponsoring this video!
After you share the gender, it would be fun to see your new baby prep, room ideas, baby clothing hauls, you and Parker Q&A on 3rd baby, names you love/dislike, etc. I love your videos how they are right now too!
The fact that you even acknowledged that times are tough for most people puts you miles beyond other major “influencers”. I’ve gotten burnt out on so many people, but your content still feels more down to earth. You know your family is more important than constantly talking about makeup and designer bags. Keep doing what you’re doing!
I think what makes someone relatable is showing the negatives of life. There was a vlog I watched recently of a college girl (which would usually be unrelatable to me as i'm not in college), and she started the day off so cheery and eventually everything went wrong in her day. She didn't edit those out though and talked about how frustrated she was. That was extremely relatable, even though I'm not in the same college position as she was. Also talking about mundane, annoying tasks like insurance renewal, returns, etc was a good move.
I love to see grocery hauls, snack/meal ideas! You could have Parker take the camera and maybe film some of what his day looks like, holiday decorating
Honestly, I completely respect that you know you aren’t completely relatable and that you acknowledge that your purchases aren’t realistic for a lot of people! I personally love life/pregnancy updates, and day to day living. I feel like it’s a way to relate to you and see how someone else is living their life!
Aspyn, I remember in one of your vlogs you mentioned how you didn't really have many hobbies so my idea for something you could vlog about is maybe you stepping outside of your comfort zone a little bit and trying out a new hobby once a month or something like that? Idk how realistic that is as a mom to 2 but just an idea! But I also enjoy your more relatable content like this video
It doesn't bother me when an influencer is not "relatable", but it reaaaally bothers me when they complain, like their busy day is taking selfies, making their own lunch and answering emails, but they complain about being super tired and stressed. I get they do work, but it's a pretty easy job and they are able to take breaks or work less if they want to, most people can't do that
You’re doing an amazing job on the vlogs even without the girls. I respect your decision so much! They will too when they’re older 🩷
Aspyn: "Who had fun?"
Everybody in the car:
Aspyn: "anybody?" 😅
Those are the moments making you relatable!
i love seeing grocery hauls and snack ideas from you! i think that book content, like whatever you’re reading, and home content, like organizing and styling, would be great to see more of. :)
I’m a SAHM and definitely find you more relatable than anyone else I watch. You have a nice homely life, which I enjoy watching and appreciate you sharing.
Honestly out of all the "influencers" I do watch, I still find you to be one of the most relatable!! Our lives couldn't be more different (31yr old cat Mom from Ireland who won't be having kids any time soon) but I've watched you forever and you're still one of my comfort girlies. I like how you show your real life, even the boring days that everyone has and that you never go overboard with excessive spending or complaining etc like a lot of content creators do. You're very aware of your viewers potential struggles. I also think it's really admirable how you managed to cut the girls out of your vlogs and still found a way to make your content relatable and homey. Don't overthink it!! So many of us still look forward to watching anything you have to share
As a viewer I actually really respect that you’re “overthinking” the relatability part of being an influencer. Because as you mentioned, times are really tough right now. I have to save save save to order a pair of jeans from Abercrombie as a treat. It’s nice to hear that you do consider others and their financial situation. Acknowledging it helps myself as a viewer to feel recognized. Appreciate your transparency and love watching your content as my inspiration!
i did love all your baby name videos in the past, even if your not sharing the babies name in the future! it’s cool to know the names y’all thought of because you have good taste
I relate to you the most when you talk about how you're feeling and your perspective on things and life in general. As someone from a third-world country and part of the working class, sure watching your content is aspirational and an escape, but it's truly refreshing when you open up and show your humanity.. even though we grew up in completely different settings, we both women in the 21st century, so I'm definitely more drawn to watch when it's that kind of content
These things helped me-
check your iron levels.
Stop eating 3 hrs before bed.
dont drink too much water before bed. Get a red light in bedroom. and turn off other lights. red light helps a lot.
I make a solid living and inflation has even caught up to me. Times are TOUGH so I think content around being more thrifty is welcomed for everyone. Also transparency/advice for side hustles or how to build a brand. Show the business side to be more relatable and potentially help someone.
The silence after “who had fun” 😅😂😂
Bring back the Parker & Aspyn target vlogs when you have a babysitter!
Aspyn I admire your content, and you are very much relatable. But just to give you a bunch of random ideas that might help you out a little:
- provide a detailed showcase of your cleaning routine, including the products you use, possibly through a time-lapse.
- Show casting the progress of your decorations and renovations.
- Engage in fun activities such as trying new international foods/drinks for the first time with Parker for a taste test and review.
- Parker or you teach each other something you never tried before.
- Share insights on parenting tips and elaborate on how you nurture the beautiful connection between you, Parker, and the kids.
- Sharing details about tips on maintaining healthy, beautiful hair and skin.
Regardless I am just throwing a bunch of ideas to spark ideas of your interest but you doing an amazing job already otherwise you wont be as successful as you are already and you absolutely beautiful and glowing. ❤
I’ve watched you for the longest time and I love you at home vlogs where you cook, do makeup, maybe a craft for the girls, probably a haul,
And then maybe something with Lauren and Parker is super fun or Avery❤️
Your vlogs bring so much peace and serenity to my life. I have been watching you for years and even though your life has changed so much, the vibe of your vlogs has always been consistent and as a viewer, I really appreciate that!! It's just so comforting 🤍 Thank you!
I’ve been watching you for so long and think you have always been relatable and interesting to watch! I wouldn’t worry too much about the “influencer” talk on tik tok, people watch vlogs for entertainment whether that be someone who is relatable or someone who has a totally different life than you! I personally think it’s more interesting seeing someone’s day in the life that is at least a little different from your own. There’s so much negativity out there these days just be you!
I love your videos and content exactly how you do it already! I wouldn't change anything. My favorite videos you share are the ones when you take yourself out to Starbucks or to get your eyebrows done or to hang out with your friends! I love seeing your skincare and makeup routines, outfit ideas, home decor ideas etc. Your content is so peaceful and enjoyable to me and I love how your videos make it feel like we're on FaceTime with you!
Your vlogs are my fav! I know you are trying to entertain us with the best fashion and family moments of your day while protecting your kids and being genuine. I feel like you are the best at doing it all authentically! Love all the new clothes thanks for the inspo!
I love seeing you do things as a family and activities with the girls (even just with a camera angle not showing them or blurring). Love watching you grow as a mom and interact with them! It’s so fun to watch ❤❤
Even though you’re an “influencer” I still find you relatable. I’m a mom I work part time at a hospital but in a sense my home life is very similar to yours still.
I like hearing ideas of what you do with your kids like take them to splash pad, or just take them for a simple shopping trip, etc.! I run out of ideas on what to do with my kids would love some simple ideas on places to go especially in the winter even if it’s just the library, target etc. just super bored over here
Love pregnancy content! Baby names you like but won’t use, day to day is totally fine how you have it still love to watch! Q&As are fun.
I love deep talks on the vlogs! It makes me feel close to the people I follow :)
As long as ure being urself ure relatable. Those who dont feel relatable are the ones who evidently try to brand themselves a certain way! Keep being u aspyn!
I love your videos, and I love the normal day to day even if it is "superficial" like getting nails done or shopping! It would be great to see you doing the things you do instead of just talking about them, like if you go to the salon show that instead of talking about it later.
PS I also have the same problem with sleeping, literally since I was in preschool! teacher would tell my mom that they had to inforce a bed time (which I did have) but I just couldnt fall asleep lol, night owl since birth.
Been following since before Parker and I think that relatability is over rated! Just be you, that’s what we are here for and no one’s life is the same anyway. I also think you ARE relatable especially when you just talk about life, anxiety, motherhood, identify, etc. One of my favorite things about you is that you’re just you/don’t care what people think. How you’ve been vlogging has been great, and I honestly love that you’re not including the girls in videos any more. Not because I didn’t like the content with them in it, just I agree the internet is crazy and it’s cool you’re letting them be old enough to choose what they want out there. You’re doing great, I hope you get some sleep soon ❤
I love watching your day in the life’s even if they seem boring to you!! And Q&A’s are always fun! Baby prep stuff as much as you’re comfortable to share! I hope you do a birth vlog (no pressure) because your birth vlogs are my absolute FAVORITE I swear I am at least 100 of the views on both of them, same with your wedding video 😂 when I got pregnant with my son I watched them religiously you made me not scared of birth and when my baby boy ended up being sunny side up like Lola I felt at ease because I had watched your video and you took it like a champ! I also was shocked when I went into the hospital at 6.5 cm dilated without realizing I was in labor because it felt like period cramps exactly as you described in your birth vlogs! I’ve been watching you since before you were married and just love your videos so whatever you put out I will watch!
I like these types of videos where you talk and give your honest opinions on topics that we all know are going on. Even the grwm while talking about certain things are my fav, I feel like when you do talk about things you have a great perspective!
I love watching vlogs of the moment of the day, getting coffee, going to target, trying on clothes etc. You're right, it the day to day stuff that is the most entertaining :)
Honestly, I don’t necessarily watch all creators because they’re relatable, just kind of like an escape. Nothing super heavy, kind of light hearted and entertaining. If someone is a little relatable or inspiring that’s a bonus but your shopping hauls, home decor, that’s all good stuff. Imo. 🤷🏻♀️
I’ve always loved all vlogs! Maybe a grocery haul or with Christmas right around the corner maybe toys/things you’ve loved having for you or your girls? My baby will be 1 next month, I like seeing fun baby activities!
You know we all want Parker back in the vlogs!!! 😂
I hope to see Vlogmas once a week 😍 any content really, anything you post just makes my day so much better
As a stay at home mom you sharing your day inspires me to do little things for myself or to get ready even if I’m doing nothing to feel better about myself I think your content is very relatable!
I love watching get ready with me type content. Organizing. Grocery hauls. Fun outings. Cleaning etc… Lauren car chats.
i would love to see your mini house renovations, days in the life, meals, birth story, favorite workouts, travel recommendations, whatever you feel comfortable filming!
Happy Thanksgiving to you guys ❤ I was thinking you have such nice basic clothing pieces. Maybe creating pregnancy-friendly outfits from those and self-care routine. Love the pink sweater on you. Really cute!
sometimes it’s important to think about the bigger picture! i don’t think i ever watch a content creator and expect them to be relatable…their life will not look like mine in a lot of ways but there are aspects that make you relatable like getting excited to open packages and showing us what you bought and going through a home reno or talking about the negatives like you didn’t get sleep but you’re taking your kids to do something fun and all those things are relatable as individual events and i think that’s what matters most! love everything you’re doing and don’t be too hard on yourself
You’re still relatable in other ways!!! Like your humor 😂 and your commentary on fashion/hair/etc! ❤
I started to follow you because of all your ideas, your creativity, in your day to day life. You can curate beautiful and fun stuff that are inspiring. You had wonderful ideas for baby activities, outfits, trips, lunch dates, gifts, parties, etc. Just follow your curiosity and continue sharing.
I’ve been watching you for years and we were pregnant with our first babies at the same time and you really guided me in many things! I find you so relatable!
I always love seeing you and Parker vlog together. I would love to see more content of you all together. maybe a Q&A with you and Parker.
Or travel vlogs
Would love to see more recipes and cooking (which i know you said you werent working with HelloFresh anymore) but also more Parker, like i miss parker cam at the end of videos when he's editing ( again not sure if he edits anymore). But love you girly girl and will keep watching through your phase uncertaint vlogging
I love everything you vlog and post! Love you!
On relatability: I think you're relatable in the sense that you're very authentically you. I've watched your videos for years and years, but you've always been a content creator so I have no need to see you going to a 9-5 job like I do - that would be inauthentic.
Also consulting a naturopath helped me immensely. I would highly recommend checking blood to see whats going on.
You may have low iron and/or vitamin b12 deficiency. Some people don’t absorb b12 through foods or vitamins, def get your levels checked & ask about injections if it’s low or take sublingual b12! I hope you feel better! Thanks for always being you :)❤
I’d love to see an updated house tour! I feel like we’ve missed some changes/updates!
Fellow anxious girlie. For sleep I use the headspace app! I agree it sucks to have to work so hard to sleep but guided meditation actually worked for me - like instead of trying hard to sleep I’d put all my focus into meditation and it sounds kinda woo but maybe it could help?!
I love ur style of vlogs and the simple stuff also!!
as someone who watched you grow on CZcams and inspired me to start a CZcams channel. I would say that I love the videos were you just talk to the camera (us) so possibly; chit chat (grwm), monthly/seasonal favorites, shop with me, unboxing & haul videos. (They can be filmed in one sitting so they might be easier with the pregnancy) You’re just good at what you do & you’re amazing at talking to a camera so I hope these ideas helped! Love you guys🤍
This is on my boyfriends account, my name is brooke but more getting ready for your baby coming!! What you’re buying for him/her and just keep up the pregnancy content as a fellow pregnant mama I love it!! And you are so relatable when you talk about motherhood even if you don’t realize it 🫶🏻🫶🏻 this is the second pregnancy we will go thru together you were pregnant with cove when i was pregnant with my first!! Love you and your little fam 🥰
congrats to lauren on her engagement!!!
I’m so early!! Wishing you a happy holiday season 🫶🏻
Overthinking girlie is super relatable. Don't worry too much about your content. We just like to watch you do life 🙃
Congrats to Lauren 😭
I'm sure your relatable to some but your life is different as a content creator and that ok! We still enjoy watching you! ❤ Like you said it's not the most unrelateable. You still connect people just live different lives :)
I have always thought that you are the most down to earth influencer I have ever watched.
I love this! Off topic but I would love to see a hair care routine!! I’ve always thought you had the most beautiful hair!!
i don't mind relating to your lifestyle because as a person you are so down-to-earth!
I love the chit chat times of the vlogs
Being genuine is relatable. I’ve been your subscriber since your mascara routine days (😮), and I have always enjoyed your content. Keep up the authenticity, and the rest is out of your control. As for suggestions on videos, though. I love the beauty and mom-related content. How about parenting tips, baby room decor, daily vlogs (w/how you address problem behaviors or support mental/physical development), and cute and comfy pregnancy outfits? Censoring as you see fit, obvi. I hope your sleep improves soon; my only suggestion is stress management and guided meditation. I love the Insight Timer, and they have a few courses to help with insomnia. Xoxo ❤
holiday decorating, grocery hauls, food/meal ideas & snack plates, your workout classes, GRWM makeup & hair, gift guides
You are relatable to me I’m a SAHM of 2! Try doing nothing don’t do the meds and see if that helps. And honestly just accepting I won’t sleep usually sets me up to not be let down when I can’t sleep. Try to nap once in the day.
I don’t follow too many CZcams couples but for some reason I’ve grown really fond of Parker! I miss him in your videos 😭
When I was pregnant I couldn’t sleep because of anxiety and I also had pains and things that kept me up. My midwife told me to take Tylenol PM and it helped me so much! I could really tell the difference between how well I slept on nights that I took it and nights I didn’t! I definitely recommend that if your doctor says it’s okay!
Happy to be so early! Happy holidays ❤❤❤
I struggled with insomnia the past year due to a high stress life change and I can tell you what I did that worked! (also love u have been following u for 9 years!!) I use a silk weighted sleep mask (from kitsch), a noise machine, and this may sound crazy but ear plugs! the Mack's slim ones (the purple ones on amazon), every person who I have told and has tried it has started using them! these were the biggest game changer, i did not think noise bugged me but it calms me so much! I am in med school so I made sure to ask an ENT for ear health purposes and they said it was totally fine just to switch them out every week or so! As for meds/supplements, I was prescribed an insomnia med bc it got quite bad but I am off of it now, and now I do just melatonin that has L-theanine in it. I used to do magnesium (magnesium glycinate is the form for sleep btw!) and my brain is constantly rambling all night and won't shut off so for this I take GABA (not gabapentin ppl confuse this all the time) GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter and essentially tells your thoughts/brain to hush! It is a supplement and is sold really at any like CVS, whole foods etc. Not sure if it its safe in pregnancy (i dont see why it wouldnt be buttt) but def ask your doctor! also keeping the room cool and sometimes i will use a sleep spray (i have the bath and body works one) not sure if it does anything but sometimes placebo is enough!
I think you are perfectly relatable. To be honest, I don't think I have ever seen you as an "influencer." Even your sponsored content doesn't even feel like "sponsored content" so i still love what you are doing.
Outfits, Makeup, skincare, decluttering, room makeovers, "life hacks", motivation tips, how to keep going when you are in a slump, how to "romanticize" your life, how do you keep the daily vlogs [Think to use vlogs as video diaries. It can be weekly vlogs.]
Happy Thanksgiving Family
i love you relatable queen❤❤
I loooovee a hexagon tile on the floor of a bathroom! Trying to convince my mom to do the same in hers!
I’m in my insomnia phase right now too. It comes and goes. Started with my first child post partum and now I just get it a couple times a year. I think I need to take my vitamins again. Sorry you’re dealing with it too. But I appreciate you taking about it so now I don’t feel so alone.
I love to see what you cook ! Such good ideas for easy veggie recipes (mama girls) :) Also which show are you watching !
And by boy is almost 2 and I will love to have activities ideas for him (=lola) !
As the others say: iron and magnesium for sleep. You need more iron when pregnant anyway. I would also like to hear more from Parker in videos, are you gonna do your usual thoughts of the year together at least?
Use the L’Oréal lumi g lotion if you can’t find the drunk elephant drops. Also, as a work from home mom I find you super relatable!
10/10 recommend magnesium and sleepy time. Earthley brand. Their goodnight lotion is a magnesium lotion and the have a tincture called sleepy time. It helps with anxiety too and helping with overall calm :)
I think that it’s true that influencers aren’t relatable at all 😅 but there is things that you can show to be relatable cleaning montages are always relatable. I like to watch organization as well and when you show outfits I enjoy it very much. Vlogs are fun to watch, I feel like showing your kids can be relatable to the mom audience because that’s relatable for moms anywhere. (You don’t have to show their faces at all for that content) posting more is also nice, the less you post the more it feels like we the fans are out of touch with you ❤ still love all your videos tho ❤❤
We need more main channel videos. I would love to see your entire clothes collection
I use a lavender pillow mist that helps with sleep
i want to see more DAY - TO - DAY videos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Like simple shower routine/ cleaning timelaps / new furniture shopping / TARGET shopping etc
PLEAASSeeeee^_^
I think your very relatable as a SAHM. I don’t ever feel like you overspend or over-consume like other influencers or content creators. I like to watch blogs, day in the life, maybe project videos, grocery shopping, home organization/cleaning. I really just like seeing how other people live and schedule out their lives. Not much of a haul or makeup girl anymore.
acupuncture changed my life! helped alot more than the chiro
Shopping, cooking, baking, cleaning, decorating, errands, with some voice overs or back and forth between work and talking to the cameras.
can you please talk about the products you use on your hair its gorgggg
your life is obviously privileged but you are a very down-to-earth person and that makes your content relatable to a certain extent!
i am a stay at home mom and think your vlogs are very relatable! even though you probably receive more clothing than the average sahm, i feel like the brands you do purchase from are reasonably priced and brands i love to shop from already (brandy melville, princess polly, etc)
for me it becomes unrelateable and not interesting to me when someone is always buying designer brands that i could never afford/promoting overconsumption in general which is not you at all. so i wouldn’t worry about it!
i also go through seasons of insomnia and the magic combo for me is magnesium glycinate with melatonin!
This might be an unpopular opinion but you don't owe us a relatable life. I've watched you since we were both in high school and I've stayed watching for you, and who you are. Not because we live in the same house or drive the same car. And, if anyone feels some kind of way watching your videos then they can click off. Don't over think it, keep posting YOUR day, don't let anyone make you feel bad for a life you've worked hard for.
Reacting to your old videos/vlogs!!
Any home styling, organizing, cleaning, purchases, decorating content
what crafts & activities, & what/how youre teaching them (like homeschool), products, toys/books, clothings etc you/kids are loving
hauls/shopping, chitchats, just any reg vlog/ditl, q&a
any pregnancy/prep for baby, names you love, nursery vibes, etc
Holiday foods, activities, gift ideas
Traveling vlogs
Nail appointment and food prep!!
I’m a SAHM so I think you content is relatable and I like that are you still yourself. I still need to figure out the balance of being a mom and being my own person too.
you look soo good with those highrise jeans❤
Would you ever do the peel an stick wallpaper in your bedroom?
