I pray God gives you the strength to get through. He’s our peace 🙏🏽❤️
Amen
I feel you on the empty inside. I been Going through so much dealing with a narcissist.even after almost 2 years 🥺
this video really made me feel less alone. thank you for being vulnerable Colleen
Never alone 🤗
@@colleenmarietlook at those abs gurl!! You are really inspiring us out here! Xxx
@@colleenmariet You probably mentioned it already, I’ll have to catch up on some of the videos. But, have you considered having your natural hair, with no relaxer?😎
I feel extremely down too.. No energy, fatigued, avoiding people,feel like crying all the time for no reason, I could just sleep all day... No puropse, no direction, some health issues that I can't solve rn, because I'm broke
Hey Colleen, I literally feel your pain. I'm a super sensitive person that literally feels other people's pain, or whatever they are going through. It can definitely be hard because I have my own from time to time, life happens right??
I'm going through it today as well. I'm so missing my Mom who passed away. Although it's been years now , her presence is still missed. I wish I could talk with her. Sorry, I wasn't trying to make this about me, just was letting you know that you aren't alone. Thank you so much for not being afraid to be vulnerable and transparent with your community. We are all here for you.. Big hugs🫂
Sending you big hugs Trae. It’s nothing like a Mother’s love. Keeping you in prayer, especially on today❤
@@gabi6217 Thank you! I appreciate your kind words.
Colleen Marie you are a blessing. Talk to a therapist...depression is real.
I feel your pain! Is it depression? Can you call a friend, get out the house? Get your journal & write ! You are such a blessing to us, who can you lean on? Praying for you. 🙏🏻 This too shall pass.😍🌺
I love watching Living Devine. I enjoy her stories and weightloss journey and yes her locs are beautiful. Btw… I appreciate the transparency in the vlog from how you chose to eat one meal a day to how you felt. You listened to your body, and I think that’s important during this journey. Praying for God’s grace for all of us single mommas 🙏🏾💕
Hugs 🤗
Hi Ms. Colleen! I understand how you feel to some degree. I agree to write it down. 🙏🏾🙏🏾
I started my DIY 2-strand twist micro locs last year. It was the best decision I could have made. I re-tie my hair every 8 weeks. They are not perfect but perfect for me. Go for it & trust the process. Keep pushing forward bc you got this. 💪🏾❤️ Lean on God.
So encouraging!
Hi Colleen, thank you for sharing your honesty and openness. It sounds to me like you are running on empty, Hon. This is exactly how I feel when I have given, given, given and I have nothing left to give to myself. The way I cope with these moments is I create a comfort space for myself; I check out of my responsibilities and turn inward, I rest, sleep, lounge, go for a walk, buy some expensive coffee, watch Scooby-Doo (I am 51 and Scooby-Doo is the truth for me in these moments!) and I go into self-care mode. This is a time for the world to spin on by itself while I do what I need to do to get through this funk - and it is absolutely ok and healthy to give this moment to yourself. I am sending you a big hug from UK xxxx
Thank you so much for sharing
Thank you for sharing i feel exactly this way week,i just wanted to check out of everything because i felt so empty because im constantly giving,
Hopefully i feel better by end of the weeek😊
@@RukiaFrans You have got to check in with yourself and give yourself the love and rest you need to refresh and recharge. I know how hard it can be because of our responsibilities. I hope you feel better soon, Hon x
Micro-locks will look so lovely on you! my micro-locs crush is " Keke J. "! I'm debating to get them so badly! I always feel beautiful wearing mini twists.
(also the clip of you in your natural hair is STUNNING!)
Go for it, Colleeen!!
💚💚💚💚 you are right! All the different hairstyles + colors you’ve tried and shared with us thorough the hair journey suited you.
I started my DIY 2 strand micro interlocs it will be 3 yrs this Aug. And it was the BEST decision I ever made...I LOVE THEM!!❤❤❤🥰
I love stories like this
The outdoors will lift up your spirits. Praying for you.
Thank you 😊
This too shall pass ❤ I’ve had my fair share of feelings girl whew it’s the week before my period and I’ve been trying to slow down so I don’t snap lol don’t forget about your journal- you’ve helped me get into the habit I feel so much better afterwards! Praying for you ❤
Thanks for sharing!!
Understand hair changes after pregnancy. It's a journey.
Wishing you strength, support, and comfort as you move through this transition period. ❤
Thank you so much
I’m with you I been sad lately too. Laying around the house feeling blah. I think it’s these jobs and getting older. But it will get better🙏🏽🙌🏽🙏🏽
Girl! I think so too
girl I felt your WORDS, I've been feeling like this for a long time. No matter how good, no matter how hard I work there are constant road blocks but i'll be damned if I give up! I always say that what you do in the now should be something that makes you proud of yourself. This way whichever way it goes you are still proud of yourself for giving it your all.
Hugs!!
Colleen, we love you woman ♥️ you are part of the motivation! And thank you for being a real role model
I love your channel because you are always open and honest. We just recently had a New Moon Saturday and right now we are suppose to be resting. Maybe you over did it some of the recent days……
You will look good however you decide to do your hair. Thank you for your openness…..just let’s me know I am not alone. You were encouraging yourself and I here was trying to encourage you too….even though you couldn’t hear me! You got this just like you tell us all the time!😊
I appreciate you!
Hugs to you! Thank you for being so transparent. You are always an inspiration. If I could be there with you, we found okay some music and get through together.
Music is SUCH a life saver
I love the green
Thanks!
Love and light, Colleen. You deserve all the love, joy and happiness that comes your way. Sadness is part of life, it will pass. Stay positive, stay beautiful❤
Hi Colleen! I’m currently loc’d. I have been so for 3 years in September. I have medium sized locs. The determining factor was the strength of my hair and the ability to do my own retwists. I didn’t want to HAVE to go to anyone to get maintenance. It’s gets expensive! I wanted micro, but the installation, in addition to the yearly cost for maintenance was a hell no for me! But they are beautiful. Im a person who wouldn’t be caught dead without my wig/weave a couple of years ago. I hadn’t seen my hair in over 5 years at one point. It was take down, salon, take down, salon. My hair was dead from neglect. I cut it all off! Most freeing thing I’ve ever done! I felt like I was releasing myself from bondage. It’s been a journey of loving of myself and everything that I’ve been through without the mask that we wear. I 100% advise anyone with similar feelings to at least research. My whole family is loc’d now! The first year you look crazy!! But you learn to love yourself more!! And when that growth hits! Yum! ❤ Good luck!!
You are loved, you are not alone. ❤❤❤
I appreciate you
I'm a person that loves locks but I also like to change it up every once in awhile so I think I'll just wait until I get in my forties to start my loc journey.
Thank you for being vulnerable. We love that over here. 😊 Stay focused on your process, but take it easy and do what feels good. Those feelings coming up (the deeper, more subconscious layers) cannot be soothed with conscious thoughts (I’m favorited by God). And that’s ok. Feel and flow. Being able to perceive/access your deeper feelings is evidence that you’re moving the right direction, not the reverse. When we shed weight, we shed weight on all layers beyond the physical. Unearthing the deeper layers of our beings is a good sign, love. 😉❤️
Yes girl! Start your locs you won’t regret it. I’ve been loc’d for 10 years and my locs are butt length. I wanted locs for years while I was a loose natural but I thought my hair was too thin and I didn’t want my hair and scalp to look spacey. Once I got pregnant with my son, my hair thickened so I locked my hair. Best. Decision. Everrrrr! I’m lazy when it comes to hair but my locs always look good lol. When I want short hair I do a loc knot bob and when I take it down it’s curly. I think you would look STUNNING with locs. Your loc crush’s hair is DIVINE ❤️
Haha! And her name is livin divine! Thank you so much Empress
Just wanted to say thank you I lost 21 pounds in June doing it again in July ❤you def inspired me
Wow!! Amazing!!
Walk on or stand on grass bare foot. A message therapist told me to do this after a massage. He said I needed to get the good energy from the earth and release the build up of negative energy.
It helped! I felt lighter and calm 🫶🏽
Yes, this! Grounding works for me when I feel depressed or anxious. I consider myself skeptical/rational person when it comes to new age stuff but this works for me!
Hi Colleen, looking snatched!😮
Hi Colleen. I have Sisterlocks. I got them in 2016, and I LOVE THEM!! Best decision ever!
I get mine retightened every 8 weeks, it's not so bad.
ADF has changed my life. I get wait to get to my goal weight.
sending comforting energy to you sis. youre not alone 💗
I’m sorry you are having an unfavorable day. Stay up Sister! Things work out they always do! 🤗
Absolutely!
Good for you girl. You’ve come down so much you can do Omad. I’ve seen studies that say doing one 24 hr fasting a week with intermittent fasting daily is good.
This too shall pass, love! Hugs! I’m loving the Baleaf ware! That color is fire!! Jealous of the beef Patty! Our Dollar Tree gets good spicy ones and they’ve been sold out and I’ve been fiending for one! The locks will look good I think and you’re right, her locks are really nice. I say do the thing! Know that your videos are very helpful on my fasting days when I’m struggling. Thank you for all you do, Colleen.
I get the Pattie’s from Walmart but I use to always get them from dollar tree! I appreciate you!!
I feel you 😢.. I recently lost my mom in January and I honestly don't wanna go home for recess 😢I'm in uni .. I feel there is nothing for me at home anymore. Yes my granny and brother are there but they are not my mom!
I have had locs for 7 yrs. You are absolute right. My hair doesn’t require much work. I am ready for something new but don't regret this break from constantly worrying about my hair at all.
I like the fact that you always know the right words to say
🤗
🫶🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 on the same boat. We get you. Thanks for sharing ❤❤
Awww!! I pray that this feeling becomes a distant memory!!!
I pray and hope you feel better soon
Colleen your feelings may be hormonal. I can have days like that feeling empty for a day or two and on the third day I wake up and the feelings are gone, no rhyme or reason. I pray over myself and tell myself just like you did this to shall pass.....the feelings are not based on anything. Be kind to yourself....all is well.🌻
Colleen, thank you so much for being who you are. I feel like you have really saved me by showing me ADF. I have felt this sadness before. It sounds like loneliness. Keep in mind you can be lonely and surrounded by people. Like alone with worries and fears.
My pleasure! This is a time of singleness and I must rejoice in it
I am having a bad day too 😢 you are helping others and God Is using you ❤
Hugs!
Prayerfully yours 🙏🏾💪🏾
I'm loc'd now 2 times over this time with sista locs and I maintain them myself. First time was regular I think locs are a divine transformation for the crown and spiritually transformative. It's time for new levels. Our locs connects to the ethers delivers divine messages to the nervous system. Let's elevate!!! Let's go!!!
Hi Colleen! God bless you and all that you do for me and your audience. Keep up the good work. You are my inspiration! 😊❤🎉
I felt this on so many levels 😣 today I’m sad. Maybe tomorrow will be different. Love you Colleen!!!❤
I hope so too!
Thank you for being so real. It matters it means a lot. You are good just the way you are. ❤️ Praying for you 🙏🏾
I've had mine for 13 years. I decided when I got tired of relaxers and my hair sheded/falling out. Now locs are Down to my waist. Lots of CZcams University on locs. I enjoy them. Get up and go. Keep spray water moisturizer. Not micro, but my hair is between fine and coarse locs. I did them myself.
Thank you!!
I hope you feel better soon darling 💗
Hello young lady, you're amazing and have been through so much. God has more in store for you, continue to trust and drawer closer to Him through His Word.
Bless you 🤗
💚 Been here since your hair days loved watching your journey this whole time!!
You're the best!
have you ever read the book fast like a girl? The author takes women's hormonal cycles into account for fasting regimens. Thank you so much for allowing yourself to be vulnerable with us. I find it so admiral and to me it's such an honor ❤️. You will be ok. You have all the ingredients and skills you need to make it to ShangriLa. It's right around the corner for you. As for locs, I wish I had done mine sooner. I even loved them in the infant stage. They are soooo much easier than loose hair and they always look good. And I can color my hair without it all falling out! I've had mine for 2 years in August and I'm so in love. As a natural hair stylist, I would recommend considering regular locs instead of micro. Regular size ones are easy and can be very affordable. Sisterlocs and micro locs on the other hand are higher maintenance, more time consuming, and more expensive. You can also have a hard time finding people to do them. But that's just my opinion and something to think about.
Thank you so much for your insight. I definitely will look into the perfect size locs for me. I’m very DIY
@@colleenmariet yes! Me too. I interlock mine every 8 weeks and it's so easy for me.
Hi Colleen!! I started my loc journey a little unorthodox. I did them myself starting with 2 strain twist, they are bigger than I initially thought I wanted them, but I love them. I thought of it for 2 years. Best decision! Very little maintenance needed and it grows so quickly! Definitely the most natural way for our hair to be. I have 3 littles so I understand the need for low maintenance hair options that looks good! God Bless!!!❤
Yessssss 💚 💚💚 more hair content !!!
Colleen it’s ok not to feel ok sometimes, just don’t stay there. You are amazing Queen. Remember the joy of the Lord is your strength. We are here for you.❤️🙏🏽😊
I started my locs a 1.5 years ago. They are meduim thickness... about 95 locs and shoulder length. Semi free form. Love the juiceness.
Wish you could do a group fasting challenge..I sooo need the motivation 😩
Just do it! I always said when I got to 30 I will loc-up. 30 came around and 3 months later I was loc’d! What I would say is I wish I started sooner! I thought I would have to wear a wig through the “ugly phase” but there honestly is no ugly phase as they are so versatile and easy to style! I too was stuck between micro and sister, however my partner has sister locks which he gets re-tied every 8 weeks and they never seems to stay neat for that long and his re-tie is between 3-5 hours. My re-tie however is never longer than an hour and a half and my hair stays much neater than his! Honestly the best decision waking up shaking and going! Love your channel Colleen you are so honest with us. It’s so funny when I’m slacking with my fasting journey I have to avoid your videos from sheer guilt! Not sure why when you teach nothing but to be kind to yourself and to refocus and try again!
Keep braids it’s a great protective style. You’ll be fine… God is with you 🙏🏽
🙌🏾
better is the end of things than the beginning
I pray and ask God to strengthen you I sometimes feel that way too but we just have to hold on to God's words that he is always with up❤
Read the word of God. Start in Proverbs. Read one a day. There are 30 of them.
Praying for you ❤🙏🏽 enjoyed the vlog
Thank you so much!!
Are you supplementing with Vitamin D? I experienced similar issues and, after getting bloodwork, it was found that my Vitamin D levels were critically low.
I wanted to give you a big hug, co-parenting does suck 😔 I pray that God continues to bless you and light your way. You are beautiful and amazing! I can't wait to see your hair ❤❤❤❤❤
You definitely look good with every hair style 😊
I have microlocs! I wear the hijab so doing my hair all the time is so tiring Id rather get up and go and get reties every 5-6 weeks, I love it and m hair is growing so much. Easy to maintain and as the year goes buy your hair is only gonna be long and beautiful as well as versatile. I also started with my hair texalaxed and cut short (cuz I had a mental breakdown before lool) my hair also shed a lot and I have low density hair, so this was the best option for me. My hair has now gotten thicker since locs "swell" and the new growth makes it a lot healthy looking (I plan to cut the relaxed/texalaxed ends in a few yrs once my hair grows longer)
Good day Colleen, Thank for shearing. As one young commented when interviewed -all of are missing something.
At times a feeling of hurt not knowing where its coming from. From youth (even in the womb) we exspiriance things and situations -we have the feeling/emotions (trauma) but not the pictures. Causing us to ask where are these feelings coming from. They pop up unannounced.
Example, think of a baby that can't talk. It crys because it needs something -it crys as long as it can. What happens to this feelings if no one shows up? There are internationalized.
Studying Gods word gently help us. Let look for his love language.
2 Samuel 22:29,30
I appreciate your vulnerability, it’s nice to see you talk yourself through your emotions and be realistic about them. I started my locs the end of 2019 for all the same reasons you said in this video honestly. I’ve done every style just like you said and don’t see myself going back to any of them. I mean they’re pretty and easy up keep, can’t beat that lol I’m excited for you! Keep your healthy diet and focus on having a healthy scalp and they will flourish 🫶🏾
Bless you
I started my locs almost 10 years ago when my son was about 2. It was for similar reasons you mentioned. As a single mom with a lot going, it just made sense to have one thing basically already done. I started with traditional sized ones and I had about 120. Chose that because I wanted to be able to maintain them myself and that seemed manageable. I’ve combined them over time though to about 69 cause I really like a thicker look and they’re way easier to maintain myself.
Wish you all the luck on your loc journey. Can’t wait to watch if you choose to share. They’ll look great on you whatever you decide on size wise.
Also, I appreciate the vulnerability and transparency on here. I know it’s easy but it really helps people not feel so alone. Hope you start feeling better soon though. ❤
I’m not sure how long you have been coparenting but initially for me it was terrible. Overtime it got better and we coparent perfectly now. This too shall pass as you stated! A good motivational book to read is The Four Agreements. It helped me a lot during my separation/divorce. I hope this helps 💕.
I bought it and never read it. Thank you for reminding me to pick it up
You are sooooo strong!
Yes girl come on and join this loc nation. I maintain me and my children's locs. And you do stay ready at all times-❤NurseMJ
Right!!?
Omg you don't look bad in any style....your gorgeous and don't ever forget it...even in the "ugly" stage, you wear the locs don't let them wear you. You Let "them" be them...don't make them lay here and go there let them be themselves and they will work for you I promise you!!!!
I have been feeling the same way except the going home part😢 sending hugs
💚 them roller set styles on you were fire!!! that's how I found cuz mine always ended up like a rat's nest
😂 I appreciate you!
I love this video to the core because that's exactly how i was feeling last week. Thank you for your transparency ❤❤🤗🤗 You are so precious 💖 and may GOD bless you with everything you need and want. ❤❤❤❤
My friend kept putting off getting sister locs...hated having to decide what do with her hair and finally just pulled the trigger a few years ago. She started off with sister loc extensions and halfway thru her appt she said, "THIS WAS THE BEST DECISION EVER" #justdoitgurl
Colleen I’ll be praying for you. I can relate to this. I been feeling the same way. I took the step to talk to someone on next week to specialize in mindfulness and Anxiety.
Thank you so much
I love you and your such a beautiful soul I feel connected to you and I knew we were the same sign, I felt like this yesterday, so empty inside thank god I started praying he help ,e out of it.
And your right it won’t last forever.
the enemy comes to steal your joy. chin up mama! you are loved
Yes! Thank you!
YOU ARE A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN!!! Loved seeing your different hairstyles and color looks good on you. I’ll keep you in my prayers. 💐❤️
I’m praying for your strength, and that God will give you understanding for why you’re feeling the way you’re feeling. Continue to keep your head up. 😊❤😊❤
Thank you so much!
I feel this way too ....sometimes
💚
Sending positive energy your way❤️
Get locd! I started in 2020. I have regular size, 89 locs and it’s about collarbone length. The sooner the better! But understand your locs will not look like anyone else’s. That’s were I struggled at.
Allah said in Holy Quran
Verily in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest.(Quran 13:28)
I hope you will find the rest in your heart.
I have a loc consultation next week! I’m over this loose natural life. I’m debating micro locs or small locs 😊
Love it!
Your workout outfit is really cute! Yesterday, I thought I might abandon the ADF regimen. I was feeling deprived but I had committed to ADF for the months of May and June. I ended up having 1/6 of an avocado and 1/4 slice of cheese at bedtime. At least I didn't go to bed in fetal position. hahah... I am considering OMAD starting in July. Oh, and my labs came back so much better after only a month and a half on ADF, thanks to you! ♥
I haven't had a relaxer since November 2022 and cut off all my relaxed ends in March of this year to grow my natural hair out for micro/ sisterlocs. Haven't decided on which yet tho 🤔. And yes Marshall's and TJ Maxx are my in person Amazon stores 😆.
Thanks for sharing your ups and downs with us. As another early thirties girly, I enjoy seeing us grow through life. ❤
I appreciate you!
Yo go cutie! Tall girl’s club (Im 5’9). Big hugs from Miami!
Tall girls unite!
@@colleenmariet❤❤
Heeey Colleen 👋🏽 💜
I got you in prayer, my sista 💜
I started with microlocs, and at nine months into I combined them into medium sized locs. I love them much thicker.
Praying for your strength.
The video cut, I really wanted to see your twist out. I’m feeling the same about my hair and now try natural styles.
Love you Colleen. ❤
Love you more
I began my loc journey 14years ago in October. I am happy I did it. I made the transition from natural to locs because of maintenance. I absolutely despise doing and even getting my hair done so it allows me to love my hair with little hair care routine. I have fairly larger locs because if shedding or thinning begins my locs won’t fall out. I did join a few due to thinning but they are much healthier. I cut them from being at my bottom to my shoulders because of back and neck problems. They were entirely too heavy. So consider the thickness of your hair and hair health history to determine your size. Locs are very forgiving and helps he document where I was and am in life each curl or uneven loc! ❤ Much love to you on this journey of life. We all just tryna figure it out 1 day and breath at a time. 🙏🏽🥹💐🥰
