How To Curl Your Hair

Being told you can’t be sad because someone has it worse is like saying you can’t be happy because someone else has it better.

I feel sorry for Colleen that every time she says something about her being sad or not feeling well she apologises .You don’t have to always say sorry Colleen we understand we love you 💕

I was expressing similar things to my boss and she told me a quote: “telling someone they can’t be sad because others have it worse, is like telling someone they can’t be happy because others have it better” and that really put it in perspective for me. Your feelings are valid!

colleen is one of the best, pure, most real people i’ve ever seen

why has everyone made colleen feel so bad for expressing her feelings in HER vlogs that she has to reiterate her gratefulness to avoid to backlash?
this makes me sad.

Colleen the KRplus mom teaching us where to buy cheap prom and wedding dresses, how to cook and bake and how to curl our hair

“I miss what life was before this..”
This sentence is truly heartbreaking, we don’t really know what we miss until we can’t have it anymore. Life may be hard now Colleen but trust me it’ll get better, everything will get better it just needs some time. We are all feeling the same way we love you and support you, it’s ok to cry about this, these are scary times but they don’t last forever. ❤️

ON SADNESS: I saw this amazing quote about this pandemic. A common phrase when a large group is going through the same thing is, "We are all in the same boat". However, when referring to this pandemic this quote cannot be further from the truth. We are NOT all in the same boat. We are all in the same storm. One day waves could be crashing down upon your hull while I sit in slightly choppy seas. While the next day my ship is about to capsize and yours is unfazed. The important thing to remember is that we are all experiencing different waves and challenges during this process. Each reaction is valid, every struggle is real and your pain/venting/sadness/anger deserve a moment or more to process. The importance during all of this is not to pretend we are all in the same boat, but rather to remind each other that this storm shall pass, and we can rescue any sinking ships if you just send out an SOS.

All feelings are valid! I have seen people say “ Don’t be sad, people have it worse.” That is like saying “ Don’t be happy. People have it better.” Don’t ever feel bad about being sad. YOU ARE ALLOWED TO BE SAD!

Who else is sad that Vlapril is almost over and wants her to do Vlay

if you’ve been watching colleen, you know she’s SO close with all of her family. her being sad about this is OKAY!

Anybody else start crying when Colleen started to talk how she sad and she missing her family and friends and it made you realize how much you miss your friends and family and how you’ve been depressed af because they mean the absolute world to you and you love them so dam much.

Being sad, doesn’t equate being ungrateful. They are independent feelings of each other. One DOES NOT equal the other. ❤️❤️❤️

when she started crying i wanted to give her a massive hug

I love Colleen's realness. I literally was tearing up at the end because I relate. It's okay to be sad. Her vlogs keep me happy. I love seeing Flynn everyday and seeing how Colleen is such a good mom. Erik is such a good dad too. I love them..

Wait, she never explained why Miranda blurs Flynn’s face in her video

i had to watch my best friends funeral over a live stream. something i won’t ever forget and it took me weeks to get over the grief, so i totally understand what you’re saying that it’s okay to be sad because it really is.

No one:
Flynn every two seconds: “DAR DAR”
😂 he’s the cutest

catch me singing "one, two three, mothertrucker!" the next time i curl my hair

I missed my school’s production on Little Women. I was Jo March, and I was assistant directing. I am crushed about it.

Colleen: talking about sadness and starts crying
My cold heart: *Bawling*
My brain: wow, didn't know it could do that.

Who is obsessed with Colleens vlogs!!!!!
👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

You have a right to feel sad and a right to be happy...no need to apologize. I feel sad too...it hurts too when people say "Oh must be nice to work at home or be nice to be home" Its not nice..been teaching for 20 years and this is the first time I wasnt able to say goodbye to my students and give them hugs. A lot of the kids in our area come from broken homes and its hard not to be able to be that safe place for them. So its ok for you to feel this way because none of this is normal. I hope you feel better and thank you for your daily vlogs and sharing your life! God bless

I totally agree with you Colleen!! I miss my family and giving them a hug. That will be the first thing I will do when this is all over. We all have times where we need to cry or feel sad during this time. Thank you for being so honest!!!!💗

“Welcome to Vlay, where I vlog everyday, it’ll probably be boring but I hope you’ll stay”

Colleen has literally taught me more about stuff like curling hair and being a young woman in general than my literal mother has and I love her for that

I love how open and vulnerable you are, thank you for sharing yourself at the end of the video. My favorite line to use in therapy is “try not to should all over yourself” because it’s okay to feel whatever it is you feel! Love the vlogs and you!

so proud of you for opening up about being sad, you are 100% allowed to feel every emotion. Im sorry the internet sometimes comes for you so hard. I love you girl!

Who else is sad that Vlapril is almost over and wants Colleen to do Vlay

Colleen: Does a whole tutorial about how to do hair.
Also Colleen: "Don't do this to your hair unless want to look bad."
😆🤣😂

I love you Colleen. Thank you for your talk at the end. Your openness and honesty speaks to my heart and I'm so grateful that you are real with us. I feel like this a lot, quarantine and no quarantine, because of depression. You are so right in everything that you said, and you have every right to be sad. Being sad does not equate to ungratefulness. Thank you.

colleen, you are such a beautiful person inside and out. it is okay to be sad. i’m really glad you brought attention to this because i know there are so many people who feel the same way about not knowing how to feel about this craziness going on. you don’t need to apologize for being sad, i miss normalcy a lot too and i’m sure so many people can relate as well. like you said, everything is going to be okay. we are all in this together. i just wanted to thank you for making these videos everyday and kory for editing them, they’ve really helped me during this depressing time. i look forward to watching your vlogs everyday. ❤️

Colleen is the best!! Who thinks there should be a Vlay???? like if u agree!!!

Okay so I know exactly the chest pain she's talking about. I used to get it all the time and i went to my doctor for it. She told me that there was nothing wrong with me but some women get sharp chest pain because... they're women. Men straight up dont get it. There's no medical term for it, but it's referred to as heart cramps, because that what it feels like. Sadly there's nothing that can be done to fix it... you just gotta wait it out. :/
(maybe leave a like so colleen can see this? idk)

i really appreciate you being so real & raw with us. i have been so depressed & it’s felt wrong, which it isn’t. it is okay to not be okay. thank you.

Hi Colleen. I want to thank you for opening up. What you said makes total sense and it’s so okay to be sad. It’s a sad time and I think many people are struggling to navigate their emotions through this time. Let your self be sad becaure it’s ok. I also just wanted to touch on what you said about your pain in your chest/boob. I have that at least once a week. The sharp stabbing pain when I breath I deeply, and it lasts 10-20 mins at a time. And I put mine down to stress and anxiety. So maybe it could be a similar situation for you. I’m so grateful for your videos. They really help me during this time. Thank you so much. Keep safe and lots of love to you and your entire family xxxx

Who else is sad that Vlapril is almost over? I love watching her vlogs in quarantine!
Edit: Omg thank u for so much likes!

When she said “it’s ok to miss hugging people” i LOST MY MIND. I consider myself to be really lucky bc i have a lot of real friends. I miss them so much and they’re going through a lot and i just wanna hug them and tell them it’s ok. i’m heartbroken, i’m crying so hard rn. 💔

Thank you Coleen, our rant about the fact that being sad is okay just relived so much stress off of myself. I needed to hear that I am not the only one who feels this way💕

I 100% agree with you Colleen, I miss everything, I am lucky I am not a senior and that I still have a job. Thank you for being so transparent, we love you! Never be scared to tell us how you feel

If you want Colleen to do vlay, like this comment so she will see it!

You need to remake the "My Family" song zoom version

Thank you so much for this Colleen! I really needed to hear this, I think it’s important to know that this is a big loss for everyone. So thank you for sharing, it was very comforting to hear❤️

Thank you Colleen for your time you make me so much more happy in this hard time

Colleen is to good for this earth. I needed that talk so much and I didn’t even know it. Colleen I’m sending the hugest hug because I feel you and I want you to know that all your fans are here for you. WE LOVE YOU COLLEEN🥺🥺💗💗💗💗💗💗

Omg who else started balling at the end when Colleen started crying. We love you so much Colleen and we support you in every way and thank you for helping us and giving us advice and we love you so much and it pains me to see you crying but like you say it’s ok to cry and it shows that you are an extremely caring person. So thank you for being you.
We love you Colleen 🥰😘 and here is a virtual hug

Colleen, you are truly a great person, thank you for expressing you feelings and telling yourself that everything is going to be ok and knowing that we are doing this for a good reason. You are amazing.

Colleen I've been watching you for 2 years now...you are such a sweetheart....I too kind off feel depressed sometimes because I'm not able to meet my friends and other members of my family...listening to you everyday is may be the only motivating thing I see...lots of love from india ❤

No one:
Literally no one:
Not a single soul:
Colleen: asos ases asas A SAUCE.

Colleen i love you girl. Thank you for vlogging. No matter how “boring” you think the vlogs are i love them and look forward to them. I hope you are enjoying vlogging and like it as a place to escape. These really help me at the end of the day. Im in highschool and with the stress of the online work its nice to sit down and be sad with you or happy. Its just feels good. So thank you and keep just being you. We all love you. And if you are up for it and feel like you can, i hope you vlog During May. Anyway luv ya gurl and keep doing you. :)

This video was so needed. Today was one of my best friends birthday and we drove by her house and it made me realized how much I miss everything. Everything vanished in a day and I just wish I knew that it was the last day I would get to see everyone. It would be a lot easier

Thank you Colleen soo much!!! I’ve been feeling the same, you made me feel my feelings and that’s good. I feel as if I haven’t expressed my feelings in the past 6 weeks. As I want to thank you !!! Good wishes to everyone!!❤️

The stabbing pain sounds like a trapped gas bubble so you might've needed to burp or fart it happens to me a lot

Colleen: it sounds like “the devils grip”, it’s a pinched nerve around your lungs and ribcage, it happened to me when I was little and I couldn’t breathe and it was super scary but when it happens you’re apparently just supposed to rub where it hurts and it’ll release the pinched nerve.

Thank you so much for this video.. I feel like so many people are scared to let themselves feel whatever they're feeling right now and it really helps to hear someone else say that it's OK to be sad, even if your life is good - we're all human at the end of the day. 💕

you just summed up exactly how I’ve been feeling throughout this entire quarantine. Especially feeling like you need to cry all day and then just letting it out. Thank you for saying everything you did, it means so much❤️

When Colleen was trying to pronounce ASOS, the captions said “ASOS, a**holes, a south..” 😂

Flynn is already such a handsome boy, I cannot imagine how handsome he will be in a few years. He will be bringing all the girls/boys to the yard ❤️

Am I the only one who actually started crying when she was talking about the fact that it’s ok to be sad
No one just me? Ok

thank you so much for your speech at the end. i couldn't see my grandmother in the hospital before she passed and couldn't attend her funeral. Only 1 person was allowed in the hospital room and only 10 people were allowed at the funeral (we're a very large hispanic family, there would've been hundreds of people there for her). we were lucky the doctors set up facetime for us to say our goodbyes, but it still wasn't the same. we're allowed to be sad sometimes. your videos are extremely helpful in this time. seeing you and erik and flynn and learning all your dinner recipes is an amazing distraction and way to stay connected. thank you for being you.

I never cry but I couldn’t help myself when she started talking about how I’m able to be sad...and I think that released some sadness inside of me too...❤️😢 Thank you Colleen for letting me cry✌🏼

Who else hopes she will vlog in May?🙋‍♀️

Even though you said that you don’t want to talk about Corona and the situation in the world right now, to me it’s so important that you tell us how you feel and that you share your feelings. To me your vlogs have been an escape from quarantine and it’s the best part of my day and seeing you talk about your feelings makes me feel like I can talk and express mine. I love you Colleen ❤️

i just wanna day that your getting me through this really hard time that everyone is going through... i’m also having major issues with my eyes and had to get surgery so watching your videos everyday let’s me know that everything is gonna be ok... i love you and thank you so much 🥺❤️

Colleen, about the rib thing, this happens to me every once in a while ever since I remember. Exactly what you described, also caused by deep breaths. My doctor actually said it was kind of like a muscle cramp of your heart, sometimes its because it skipped a beat. Nothing to worry about unless it gets very regular.

Vlay theme idea:
"Everyone keeps asking me to vlog, so I've decided to do it all month long. You'll see me do random things every single day. So get ready to be bored, you're watching Vlay (Hey!)

You’re amazing colleen♥️ the world needs more people like you in it. Hang in there, we’ll get through this💓

Awww Colleen! I feel you so much! I’m so sad I can’t hug my parents when I go see them each week! It’s so hard not to just hug them! Much love to you and your family! We will get through this and we will be that much better as human beings

Hi Colleen, I’m a high school senior and essential worker in a nursing home and this time has been really rough for me but your videos always put a smile on my face and give me some sort of normalcy

I would love to see Colleen grow out her natural curls.

Love you guys so much! Thanks for the twenty minute distraction! Or even five minutes!!💙 it honestly is very much appreciated and needed.

colleen i would just like to say I'm 14 and I've been curling my hair like this for over a year cuz of you, love love love this technique! thank you so much for teaching me how to curl my hair.

Right when Colleen started crying I started to tear up a little bit

“Haters back off”. Your allowed to be sad babe! Everyone has moments like this! We are in this together!!!! I love you xx from Australia

Colleen how real you are just makes me soo happy that somebody else is feeling the same way I am. I love you and even though you don’t know me- I am here for you

You are so awesome! You are so genuine. Thank you for sharing about being sad. Emotions are real. And we all feel what we feel.

thank you for voicing the “it’s okay to be sad”. a lot of people, i’m sure, (me included) need to hear that. it IS okay to be sad.

I have literally gotten the same stabbing pain in my chest area when I breathe deeply and it happens every once in a while...i don’t have any advice for u but just so u know, ur not alone ❤️

I did the exact, same thing, Colleen. I kept pushing the feelings down, preaching positivity, and trying to remind myself that others had way more to worry about than I did. But everyone's feelings are valid no matter how many blessings you have. It is okay to be sad! We're all grieving normalcy-- and how lucky we are to have such wonderful people and a life that we miss in the first place. We will never take small things for granted after this. We'll all be hugging our friends and family soon enough! :)

you jus said it all colleen. my goodness, you just made me feel tons better. thankyou.

I really appreciate the last part - I'm a full time pharmacy assistant and customers keep telling me 'well at least you have a job' and it really peeves me because working in a pharmacy wearing a face mask for 8 hrs a day and not knowing if ur going to get sick isn't easy. I also spent my birthday alone, I also didn't get to graduate, I also am bored and tired and wishing ABOVE ALL that people were not so fucking rude to pharmacy workers. Please don't apologise for feeling sad, this is a period of generational trauma and ur feelings are valid.

Who else thinks Colleen is the BEST mom to Flynn?! 🥰♥️

Love you, Colleen ❤ these vlogs are what I look forward to everyday!

Love you so very much Colleen. I am sending you a big hug and my wishes that the recent negativity goes away quickly. Hang in there girl.💜

I too am really sad. I lost my dad in February, I’m not getting to go to prom, graduate, or have a graduation party, and not spend the last few months with my high school friends, or even spend time with my family and friends to grieve with, but I know it SOOOO OKAY TO BE SAD, even with everything else going on.

I'm soo hurt when colleen don't show me how to cook her dinner. 😭

Thank you for the hair tutorial!! Also for saying it’s ok to be sad. I’ve had a rough few weeks and I just need to let all the feels out like you 🥰 thanks Colleen💜

It’s so true that it is ok to be sad!! Everyone is dealing with the loss of something, if not many things at this time. Thinking positively helps, but there’s still so much to deal with. You’re right, we will get through this!! Much ❤️

I have had those “chest” pains too girl I feeeeel you. It’s like people think we’re dramatic but also feel THAT and tell me you won’t squeal too! Also I want to curl my hair just cuz you curled your hair, and I made banana bread bc you were making banana bread.

“being sad is okay “ I needed to hear this 💛

Colleen you are such a pure soul... I really appreciate your honesty and truth. We are all allowed to feel sad. Everyone feels sad, it is such a hectic time and I believe it is healthy to speak about your emotions! Let them be, you are doing great
For everyone reading.. you are beautiful and perfect the way you are. Don't ever feel like you should change for ayone!

Continue your daily vlogs in May, I love them soooo sooo much and so does everyone else! They make my day. 💜💜💜

I've been waiting for her to teach us how she curls her hair.

🎵 literally everyone asked you to vlog
So you were nice enough to do it all month long
We’ll see you bake some bread and whip coffee
So get ready to enjoy cuz this is Colleen 🎵🎵🎵

Wow I really needed this pep talk. Thank you Colleen for being so real and letting me just let it all out with you. Stay safe🧡

i love colleen being like a mom to us

Anybody think when they saw the title it was going to be the rag curls!

preach hunny. I feel like we shouldn't have to apologize for being sad.

The thing you said about not feeling like your allowed to be sad really expressed something I've been feeling. As people we have to understand that our emotions and the situations we're put into are very complex, and shaming others/yourself for natural feelings is cutting off your ability to learn about yourself, your desires, and your needs. You can find peace even if there's more bad than good in your life. You can also find loneliness and heartache even if your surrounded by the people you love. Validating those feelings doesn't mean your invalidating your happiness, you can feel both.

Colleen is such an amazing parent Flynn is SO cute I love how she parents Flynn. Also her life style is awesome.
