Less talking, the trailer is ruined, a baby sidewinder rattlesnake, another break up and me losing me mind while I build for the week.
rachel, i love the new format! also, please stop feeling like you’re letting your audience down or disappointing us… we all have our own full lives and other entertainment we consume. it’s okay for you to take breaks 😅
So sorry on breakup. You are a strong woman
Love it!
You got this ❤️❤️❤️💕💕💕we love you no matter the type of video.
❤️
THIS is the vibe. The flow. No overfilling "empty" silence. Allowing the artistry of the work & imagery to do the talking. Love it.
couldn't agree more!
Girl! I keep hearing you say you’re back, but I just want to say it’s like ok to be wherever you are whenever you are-Life’s messy sometimes but you always bring yourself and that’s what we love-you ain’t gotta be anything else ❤
Ah thank you!
AGREED
I suspect that feeling that makes your house feel like a home has little to do with its design/architecture and everything to do with you becoming who you are (+Cali & Blaze)
I noticed the difference in this video being a mix of lifestyle and DIY and I LOVE IT!!!! It's the PERFECT mix. Always wanted to know more about your thought process and life and I enjoy DIY like a mad woman, so it's perfect. haha
I'm feeling the new video style. Renovate your space on your timeline. I'm here to hear about how you're life is going as well as watch you renovate. Like video pen pals. You seem content in the space and time you are currently in. I'm trying to master that concept right now. We are all a work in progress.
Growth, love, heartbreak. None of those things are linear so it's ridiculous for us to expect any of those things in your life to be linear. Just incredibly happy to see you're still creating and sharing the progress with us. I think this new direction is absolutely wonderful and can't wait to see what's next 💛🌱 Always sending love and light
Love that you transformed that room from a bar to a pottery room to reflect your new sobriety. Good luck on your journey! And, I love the changes you are bringing to your channel. Peace xo
I love blend of documentary vlog and tutorial, I’d describe it as naturalistic. It’s well shot, paced, and edited. I think creators best work come from experimentation, so I really enjoyed you mixing it up. Great channel, great video, great home!
this new format fits better with your channel name, you're Living To DIY so it makes sense to show us how you're living your life, taking us with you on your journey through all the DIYs along the way! 💕
I love the direction your taking your channel … I’m a woodworker, DIY’er of all the things …. Even though we are in very different stages of life ( I’m much older than you ) …. I can relate to where you are right now since I’m finding myself in a very similar stage of learning to just be my most authenticate self … I can’t wait to see what’s in store for you in your little piece of paradise
Darlin Girl, you make this grandma's heart sing. I simply love how brave you are. You are a beautiful, talented, warm-hearted soul, thank you for sharing your world.
Hey Rachel, the thing I like most about you is your emotional honesty. Lots of people make things, but not everyone puts their heart and personality into it like you do. So I just wanted to say I think you’re so cool, and I have a lot of love for you and your channel in whatever form/timeline they come. Also, I think it’s the most human thing in the world to get swept up into a relationship - we’re told ad nauseam growing up that they’ll solve all our problems and guide us to eternal happiness. It’s something I struggle with as well, and I just try to hold compassion for myself and remember that I spent 20+ years learning to think that, it’s alright if it takes years to fully unlearn it. Just sending you lots of love and compassion, and wishing you some compassion for yourself as well. All my love ❤
this is my favorite video you've ever made and I have been here for years now. I love the flow, the vibe, the mix of talking and silence, the glimpses into your daily life and habits, just loved it all, and we are here for it and for you
Whatever times you have to post your videos is good enough . Don’t put so much pressure on yourself to do so. Whatever content you want to share with us We appreciate and will have your back and will be watching and listening even if you want to vent. Thanks for sharing your journey with us.
Love you, thank you.
Rachel, you are all of us, seriously! Go easy on yourself and take any direction you feel is right with your channel. We'll still be here to watch :) And I really loved the vibe of this video!
Thisss right here Metz !!!! 🥰🥰 I have been here since the beginning and I’m gonna be here a long time!
Kick ass wherever the hell you like ... diy, pottery, life-style, fur-babies, desert ... everywhere!! I hope you know just how amazing you are in your genuineness. You inspire in everything you do!! Thank you for all you share!!
Love this format over straight up tutorials. Feels so natural for you. ♥️
oh Rachel. been following you a long time now. I needed a workbench for my garage and I found yours along with your curtain rods and haven't stopped following you since. I love your new style and even the old one. it is all about how u go and handle life. I miss DIYing but nursing school is my big elephant in the room. I feel like all I do is study, be mom, work, and sleep....repeat. like my daughter says, "just keep swimming mommy. don't give up. dory did it and so can you." gotta love dory!
Rachel- I have been with you from the beginning - and I want you to know you are a beautiful soul. It is a pleasure and I am GRATEFUL and honored that you ALLOW us to see into your life. One of the beautiful things about you is your willingness to show that you go through things like the rest of us- you show authenticity and I love that about you. Just like the real ones in the comments say- never think you need to explain Rachel!!!! My daughter and I watch you and we adore you. We watch because OF YOU! Your personality, your smile, your energy!! I will always support you and your channel. Keep rocking my girl!! ❤️ From NC!! ❤️
Don't make me cry!
Really like the format. Building a relationship with your viewers by sharing more of your real life, encourages a loyal fan base. ❤
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Girl! You are being too hard on yourself! You don’t owe us anythinggggg! We love watching you grow and the improvements to your property as they get done on your own time schedule.
Life is a marathon not a sprint. From my own experience it’s ups and downs and people who come into our lives, help us learn what we want as much as what we don’t. A reflection of who we are at that moment of time. Thank you for being real with the trip. Much love little sister.❤
Loved that pot you made at the end. And very symbolic - chaos and a sense of failure that morphs into productivity and creation.
I love the mix of DIY and lifestyle /vlog. It shows a balance.
Women tend to lose themselves in a relationship we give and don't receive. We have to pearn to be selfish and centre ourselves in our life.
I just love when this girl posts a new video. I’ve watched as Rachel has healed and became Rachel’s true self. It resonates with me because I went through a horrible end of a relationship five years ago. It was like being in a dark pit and fighting to come back into the light and life. This home reflects who Rachel is. If someone doesn’t love you, all of you for who you are that’s their problem. Find who you are do what you love all of us love The Who ride messes and all because you’re winning!! You are making the house and your life your own. We love you Rachel. Well done
I love pottery!! ❤ would recommend propping up your wheel closer to knee height (or standing!) and watching a few videos about centering your clay before you open it. Lots of great tutorials for throwing online. Good luck!!! 😊
I love watching the growth of my Favorite You Tubers evolve ! Rachel, you are my absolute favorite DIY designer, as well as Lone Fox and Maccena. Everyone one has made home owing a priority and loving all the reno's along the way . I never get tired of your transformations. Enjoy your life while we watch and get inspired 😁
Give my girl some grace life happens period. We are just here on the journey with Ms.Rachel Metz ❤ love us girl love seeing the journey.
I enjoy the vlog /diy /day in the life type of video, it adds a flair to your videos that is so uniquely you. But its important that you know although I love seeing you grow as a person and coming into your own, you don't have to be so vulnerible if you're not ready. Being able to reflect on your experiences is alway a beautiful thing yet I don't want you to feel like you have to share things that your not ready to share for the sake of explaining to us on where you've been.(I hope that made sense I sometimes have a hard time articulating my words) LOVED THE VIDEO.
I’m in tears. I’m so proud of your self love! This video was fun to watch, the experimenting with camera angles looked like you were having so much fun filming for this! Sharing your life is inspiring, and you don’t have to stay in any type of video style, we are here because we love YOU!! and all the things you do 😁
Gosh - making my Saturday! Thank you xx.
I am just so empresses in how you make every corner into such a moment. Also you have built a community … feel safe being you… we love you…. And are here for as prince would say “this thing called life”.
Babe you are not an imposter. You’re a legend. Gabor Mate says ‘You BECOME who you are’. We’re all just figuring stuff out. And we’re here for your journey. And we love it. And we’re grateful for you. And you’re a hero. And you’re healing and so are we. But your videos make life that bit better. Thank you. Grateful for you. Keep shinin gorgeous ❤
🫶🤍
I love love love turning the bar into your pottery studio! It’s a metaphor for your your life. And learning to make pots on your wheel, both the fails and successes, is learning to create the form or vessel of your life! Be patient with yourself. We are all a work in progress. Xox, Bonnie
Thank you xx.
Rach babe! I have been a long time subscriber going on 5 years now! I admire your strength to involve the whole damn world into your personal life. That takes a lot of courage. I love all your content, even the cake pop days! ❤ You encouraged me to read “Woman Who Run with Wolves”, start a gratitude journal, and even to purchase my first drill! All because of you and your channel, sending all the positive vibes and Palo Santo!
You are doing a fantastic job ms. Rachel! I lovetowatch your talent and creativityflow. You need to give yourself a break and not rush. I can guarantee most people lovetowatch your channel. I pray for you daily. You are so full of joy and creativity . I will always wait for any of your content? God bless you always.
You are a human being.. You are allowed to find yourself! doing so, means you don't always get things right, but you don't always get things wrong either. Being ok with either is part of growing. If there is one thing i have learnt in my 42 years on this planet, it's that nobody knows what they are doing, they are just making the best decisions they can given the tools they have at the time. I love your can do attitude and watching you blossom. Much love.
Give yourself the grace that we would freely extend to you. Your videos (whatever they are) always seem to hit me where I'm at , and I appreciate them.
I like this new format, because what ever is your format to express yourself the best and furfills your desires and needs and urge to create, then this is it, and in the future if it changes to something different, that's okay to.
Artists are just ppl with the urge to create and platforms like YT are here for ppl to show their skills or life and use it as their platform to express themselves.
We are here, don't hold back on your authentic expression and love for why u started this, because we are here to celebrate that with u.
Thank you 🙏🏼.
It’s LIFE! We all go thru ups and downs. Liking the new format. But want to see more puppies please!!! Miss your babies!!
You don't owe us anything! I just love the ride and feel privileged to share your moments, life is so hard and you are a warrior girl ❤️
Appreciate you xx.
You’re doing great, Rachel! You are exactly where you should be, doing exactly what you should be doing…keep the faith, Baby!
A break up is a break up, but don’t let that overshadow all the personal growth you’ve made! Love your vibe, DIYs and realness!
As long as you’re happy to make it I’m happy to watch. Letting us into your life like this is such a privilege for us and I would never want it to be at the expense of your health or happiness.
Love your journey. Love how honest it is. This new format you have is dope too. Just keep doing what feels good in the season your in. You’re not fucking this up. Sending you lots of love 💗
Rachel, I am here for the ride... The good,bad and heartbreaking.... You are Amazing, Lady!! Don't you EVER FORGET THAT✌️ Thank you for being honest and transparent with us All... We Are Here For You🙏♥️🙏♥️
I think this new format resonates with the name of your channel: living to DIY, like you just living your life and creating things. I think it’s really cool and authentic because you can just keep doing whatever you want, and let us in whenever you want.
I like this type of video. It's really neat to see your work and creativity come to life. I really don't know what you're going to do next and that's really cool. I think you should be really proud of what you have accomplished so far. You bought a freaking property in the desert and are making it your own. Your property is looking stunning even with the unfinished and evolving portions. I keep seeing new things completed and wondering, when did that happen?! I think you're quite funny actually. And quirky. Your facial routines and wardrobe changes keep cracking me up. In the next video, you go from wearing summer clothes to suddenly in a full-on winter bundle of layers to work clothes. We're all just trying to keep up with you! Don't try to be something you're not. I really enjoy your meandering wanderings. Life is a journey after all. There are always enjoyable and fun little surprises in your videos. You don't always have to be producing DIY videos. Vlogging is great too. The mix is really great.
I noticed it was a different video set up in the beginning and I love it! Its more... cinematic? It flows. Its even more real.
This is the best format u ever did. We need honesty from people we look up to - especially on the internet - so we don’t feel shitty when we feel like failing and u did that for us! Thank you❤️
This might be my favorite CZcams video. I love the way you shot it, edited-the whole thing. Exquisite, Rachel! ✨
I love this format 😍 keep doing what you are doing at you own time and don’t worry about us, we’ll be here no matter what 🫶
SO TRUE..!!!!!
this is a biased answer bc of course im obsessed with everything you do but ,, to answer your question,, YES i am in love IN LOVE with this video format. (don't get me wrong, i enjoy the tutorials) but this particular video feels like rachel...but with a more grounded, calmer vibe. it feels like you contemplating, taking a step back, and reflecting on your life so far. (plus it's longer so that's a bonus treat for me)
please do more of this HEHEHE love you!!
Oh I'm in love so you got it!
You are an amazing person. I have learned I cannot please others but please myself and take care of my household. I have to keep reminding myself what my priority are it’s hard but possible. I enjoy your videos keep up the good work.
Great video! I really enjoy this format. I feel like I get to know you and your personality and your day to day life a little better. I look forward to more of these! Thanks! 🙏🏻 💜
I watch a lot of youtube videos but by far, you are the most inspiring for me! I am much older than you and want to tell you that the desire to create and appreciate only grows as you get older! It's a gift to be creative and I never take that for granted. Everything inside and outside gives me ideas. It keeps me young a vibrant with a little bit of arthritis, LOL! Hugs to you!
Very cool video and editing.🕶 They told me I'd never be good at poetry because I'm dyslexic. but so far I've made 3 jugs and a vase and they're lovely.😁
We continue to love seeing you turn a house/property into YOUR home! 🏠🌵🐾
Girl, I just turned 73, haven't had a relationship since I gave my husband to his girlfriend 20 years ago(better her then me)...I moved to Florida, bought a darling house(1946) and went to work making it my own...projects come and go as I exercise my brain with new 'what ifs' and I continue to be happy and fulfilled and can't wait for the dawn to go play with my toys, every single morning...it would be nice to have that partner that is into gardening/permaculture, carpentry/projects and cocktails when needed...but I am happy and have learned to DIY by myself...with lots of cat cuddles...and it's OK, be you...! BTW Hurricane Ian was afraid to come to Jacksonville...we're good...!
Love the way you see/look at things in your own way. You are a great inspiration. 🫶🏽
Hi Rachel, I love this format. I would like to see more videos like this. I love what you did to the bar room, what a wonderful space to be creative . So happy for you and your self discovery. God bless
How is it even possible there are people negatively commenting on your wide open hearted realness. SMH! You're a PURE Soul.. I get that you might be abrasive to some, those that may require a quieter, water down version of your Energy, but never should you dim your light for them. Let THEM walk away with their eyes shielded. You just keep shining bright. xoxo
Oh Rach...we are so proud of you...you are finding you...and THAT is life...you don’t ever have to feel ashamed of learning...just like with carpentry, pottery, sewing, painting, gardening...any of life’s adventures and challenges...learning how you love and finding out more about you will lead you directly to the person for your idea of forever and all of a sudden you will realize that you are existing together peacefully with ease...you are simply doing with your soul... what you do with lumber, pottery painting, gardening...anything you put your mind to..you are refining and creating...you are LIVING..!!!!!…never regret anything you learn from any experience...remember this...never cry because it’s over...smile because it happened and you were able to discover more...ALWAYS REMEMBER..YOU ARE EVER GROWING...EVER CHANGING...EVER BECOMNG A MORE TRUE AND BEAUTIFUL YOU...🌈🏠🌵💪🎨👊🎁🌻🦋👏🏻
Love love LOVE this format. La La La love YOU 👑 Young ladies listen to this woman whose inner beauty is as authentic as the outside. ❤ I wish I had this advice when I was in my 20s. You HAVE to love yourself, give to yourself, be true to YOU before you can give that to someone else.
I’ve always felt vlogging is more your style. The DIYs come from a place of love but the way you vlog is just so natural. Love this style video for your personality and appreciate you taking the time to create it and share it with the world.
Gurl! Take your TIME, Love who you are becoming. I enjoy watching all the things you do. Rachel your young and you have your hold life ahead don’t waste your time on things that don’t expand the greatness your greatness. Have an amazing day. I am so glad to see.
Lesa
God Bless you Rachel Metz
amazing! two pottery tips, wedge your clay and raise your wheel so you can anchor your arms in/on your body for leverage
@ 16:00 me too sadly and I love this new type of video format and u being more vulnerable is beautiful and inspiring- don’t be too hard on urself 🫶🏽
Rachel, you're young, it's okay to take time to grow. I'm going to be 54 this year and have 2 adult sons and grandchildren. I'm still growing and finding myself every day.
I. LOVE this format!!! I love your pottery room I can feel it will bring you balance, peace and time to reflect on who you want to be - who God created you to be.
Don’t apologize for your journey of discovery and healing.
You are a fantastic person and you love love. Allow yourself to heal and feel and grow - then your prince will come in Gods perfect timing.
You are loved Rachel. You are creative. You are healing. ❤
Loving you - thank you xx.
“You get better at being in a relationship the more you love yourself.” YES! YEEEEESAH! 👏👏👏
Do you Rachel. I'm happy when I see you have a new video out!!! This was a unique vibe.
Thank you for always bringing us in like we are family. I love how real u are. Life doesn't always go as planned n u show us its ok to be normal
You should be so damn proud of yourself Rachel 🥰🥰🥰🥰 incredible growth and self love. You are incredible. And I love even more having been able to continue to watch you grow. What an inspiration ❤️
Its a joy that you share all that you do! So authentic, lovely, and inspirational ✨️
yea love the new vlogs, always nice to get a full picture cause then it's more relatable and you feel like friends :)
That makes me happy.
I love seeing you trust yourself and what you want to create.
Thank you.
I LOVE the new format. It felt more whole, more of a bit of all that you are & what you're capable of. I love this one & feel you on being 'back' again. Its just you getting up from bring hit hard again. It shows your strength & courage. 💪🏼 ❤️
Girl you’ve always been here🤍 you are just evolving and shedding away the parts you don’t need. Give yourself some grace 🤍
Please continue to come back as much as you need. Love your openess and honesty. Keep it real and you will continue to beautifully evolve. It stays interesting. ♡
loooving the vlog-build hybrid format videos, love a montage-monologue-monotonous-moments soup pot of Rachel’s Life
i need plant content, they are soooo happy. i love seeing you be more “organic” in your videos, trust me the diy is sick but it’s also interesting to see how you navigate this as a person with good days and bad days. Being alone in your property doing all this seems daunting for most of us i’m sure, it’s just nice to see i’m not the only one feeling like i can’t finish a project or i’m pulled in a different direction etc. What i’ve always loved about CZcams is that we can share just human experience with each other, that’s interesting enough for me. i don’t need the glitz and glam of curated content.
I love this video!!! Simple lifestyle - style videos are my favorite. It feels so natural you just doing what you love and what feels good and right! I’m here for it 🤍🤍🤍
Hey Rach, Love that you are looking after yourself first. I enjoy being a part of your journey your content is real. Self love is hard, women don’t make it easy on ourselves so glad to see you being you, healthy, trying and failing and trying and growing. Take care, x
I love this style of vlogging. It's real and raw. The truth is that none of us go through life working on one aspect of life. We learn and evolve while dealing with real life situations. Keep going and trust the process. Great job!
I’m loving this new format. Loving the vibes. Keep up the good work!
It’s such a vibe Rachel!!!! Ugh I love it! You really inspired me. ❤ you’re the reason I’m fearless with my power tools.
That makes me so happy.
love this format. would love to see more. and don't be so hard on yourself.. I personally don't expect "a show" so I can be entertained. it's honestly so refreshing to see some real life and it strengthens me in difficult times. so actually thank you Rachel
Love this format!! Don’t apologize for being you and learning as life develops. Nobody is perfect therefore nobody should judge any mistakes you feel you’ve made. It’s your life. Live it how you please as long as nobody is being harmed. Be well!!
Thank you!
Here for the whole journey, as you need to present it. Love this multifaceted, vulnerable Rachel. I personally needed this reminder to love yourself and carry on. ❤
Love your videos! And what an amazing pottery studio. And throwing a pot on the wheel is not as easy as it seems. It takes a lot of practice just to center it, which is crucial for it to be even. And you have to knead the hell out of clay before you make anything out of it to get any air bubbles out, or it can crack when it’s fired. But all with time 😊. Love that stump stool.
I'm loving this type of video! I cant wait to see more! I've followed you for so long and watching you become your own person has been amazing. you inspire me everyday Rachel!
Love you Erin!
Love this new format! 🖤🤍🖤
Vulnerability is scary, but we (as a collective of humans in the world) need it in order to live authentically. You are great, love you, love your videos. Keep doing you.
I think one of the greatest things about life is that we don't have to fit into one box or stick to one pattern. We grow. We change. We shift. It is a journey and sometimes we think our journey is taking us in one direction, but we end up going a different way. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. 💜
I’m LOVING this format. We’re here to support the journey!
I quite like the style of this video, little bit of vlog, little bit of diy :) It actually felt quite calming to watch (don't know if that even makes sense).
Also thanks for being vulnerable and opening up a bit about things that have happened recently in your life. I know it's hard to be vulnerable, especially online, but it's nice to be reminded that we are all human and I'm not the only one who gets swept up in a relationship sometimes :) xo
We are here for it all girl. Nice to know that others are going through the same messy process called "life". Much love!
THIS is the vibe. It feels so natural and real!
You're so unique and natural flawless kind of CZcamsr I'm subscribed to. Go where your thoughts, imagination and desires take you. I'm always here waiting for your content whenever you're ready.
