I just feel like in MY LIFE. I don't want to waste my time or money. If I'm showing it getting done but I say make sure you add this or don't do this. It is genuine because I WANT TO BE TOLD THAT..lol If I am watching someone and they are teaching me, I do not want to follow it blindly. I've had several bad experiences like this. One drilling cement to add a threshold. I coulda cussed that youtube channel out when I was all done. 3 channels and some googling later. I needed a stronger drill. The bit didn't matter..I'm like, no where in this how to did it stress the importance of the power and torc in the drill to get through the cement. I do not ever want people to leave my videos wondering if it's gonna work. Lol

You do you, Brandi! Cuss away, it doesn't bother me at all...in fact, I've recently been reminded that I can cuss in 4 different languages when I somehow introduced my baby toe to the corner of my heavy wooden coffee table! Not something to be proud of, maybe, but hey, it hurt ! I love the pop-ups that you use, they're hysterical and very appropriate to what you're doing at the time. As for a tutorial on tool use...Yes please!

**TIP WARNING** You mentioned doing a diet Brandi. I have autoimmune disease. I learned the hard way especially when it surrounds pain. One of the BIGGEST reasons for inflammation and pain is 96% or more caused by ingesting gluten such as pasta, breads etc. I also learned the hard way that the medication I’m prescribed for my thyroid many of them are made with fillers, those fillers are typically gluten! Once I figured it out, thankfully my doctor listened to me. She did her research and found that at the time the medication I was on is in fact loaded with gluten. It was causing my hyperthyroid symptoms and making them worse even though my numbers said I was at a therapeutic level. She changed me to Armour Thyroid and it literally made all the difference. I was prescribed another medication a couple years later for something else, I became inflamed and painful internally head to toe and extreme exhaustion. We learned that medication also had the gluten fillers. Changed my medication and it made all the difference. *FACT* NO ONE can process gluten, our bodies physically can’t. It silently affects most people however if they haven’t heard about it and done simple research and try eliminating the gluten, they will never know the difference. Most people don’t know their medicine is made with a gluten filler as well. Thankfully, it’s beginning to come to light and more and more people are becoming informed and gaining this knowledge. Do some simple research. The information is out there. I promise. Thank you for another great video! I’m one of those people who when scrolling through videos, if I see your picture on the thumbnail, I’m clicking on it to watch!

I have learned a ton the past few months. And really really researched things to understand what elimination was going to do to me and how only eating 95% animals products would effect my everyday life. I eat all animal products. I recently stopped all cheese but 4 I found that r not processed. I already have reduced my sciatica. I have almost no pain at all when I couldn't sit or stand for any length of time without struggles. Now I can sleep on my left side. I had no clue about all the stuff our fruits and vegetables get sprayed with along with how the tiny amount of glucose we need to survive doesn't even make sense to the recommended dietary amount of the food pyramid. It's been extremely eye opening. And, it has truly changed my pain in just 3 and a half weeks. I also no longer CRAVE things. It's odd but when I'm hungry I eat. I don't feel like I have to have dessert or chips or anything. It's a truly wierd feeling. I'm just starting this and educating myself. I can't speak for other people and I'm not a full hard core carnivore, but I already feel a huge difference in my body just being the low spectrum.

I have several autoimmune diseases & disorders and one of them is Celiacs so I definitely understand being prescribed medication containing gluten. And Brandi, I deal with chronic pain also and I am not allergic to opoids I just refuse to go to these pain management clinics and being treated like a junkie or a criminal. I have wanted to try resin for awhile now but you've really made me think about the PP&E issue. Thanks for that. Migraines can put me in bed for days & days. And none us need that in our lives.

You really do make me feel like I am sitting with a friend that wants to share some really awesome art techniques (that she knows and enjoys) with me. I think you make lots of other people feel this way too. We all enjoy your "realness", your talent, and your love for the creative outlet that DIY art provides. Please keep making videos and sharing your talent!!

You make me laugh! You don’t take yourself too seriously. You have amazing content and are so very talented. So you sometimes throw in an automatic cuss word that I don’t think you even realize you’ve used. So what? I don’t cuss - never have - but I can’t go to the grocery store without hearing someone else throw out worse than I’ve ever heard from you. Keep up the great work!!! If the occasional off color word pops into a video I’m watching, I think I can survive it. At 72 there’s not a lot I haven’t heard.😂

The first year was absolutely fabulous but the last two years have been Soso. Crafting is my happy place so until I run out of supplies, I will continue to do what makes me happy. I think I need to go to dollar tree later today. 😂 Great video, great content Brandi.

I don't have a KZfaq channel, but I've been online since the mid 80's. Yes, I'm old. LOL. For all of the content providers I've worked for, I was advised to avoid posting new content on weekends. Statistics seem to show new content does better released on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, or Thursdays. Reasoning being that weekends are for partying or family time. Mondays are recovery days from the weekend. I do notice I get more notifications on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I do tend to skip a lot of notifications on weekends, cuz I want my bed. :) Just some thoughts that might help. I do love your vids. Real talk, fun, and informative. Never stop. :)

Just wanted to let you know that I really enjoy watching you. One very important reason is that you're very real and share your own struggles but don't dwell on them. In other words it's not a pity party. I truly appreciate that about you and I can tell you don't let it get in the way of your creativity. I also have some limitations. But I still want to create some things to enjoy around my home. I wish I could be braver and more confident so I could expand to maybe have a booth. But I'm old enough so can use that as an excuse 😂 Some for being so long winded but I really wanted to let you know that you are doing a great job and I find you to be easy to relate to.😊

Love the Real! You have taught me so many things and not just crafting. I have Lupus, when I say the pain is unbearable, impossible and relentless. I wish the pain meds would work better, the only one that did work extremely well, they took off the market, and the only reason I have heard is druggies were pissed they couldn’t crush it to be able to snort it or pump it into their arms. But I digress, you are great! I was coming to PA and thought I would like to check out you’re store front but from the video I gathered it’s in New York! Bummer. Stay real do only what you can do. I want to do more, but mine is Lupus related and depression related (loss of my hubby). Be Happy! Evelynne from Columbus Ohio.

Loved the chat and the cussing just makes me giggle. I also have several autoimmune diseases, RA, Sjogrens, fibromyalgia, and alopecia. They suck, and I am careful making plans because I never know from one day to the next if I’m going to feel like doing stuff or not get out of bed most of the day. Thankfully, I have a couple of horses that depend on me daily to get up and get outside to see about them. Some days I’m good if all I do is see about the horses, but they get well taken care of.😊

I didn't think I could love you more, but I do. I had no idea you had so many issues/pain...and that is meant as a compliment. You DO understand how much laughing helps us! I won't go thru my list, but you get me through SO much pain!! I'm a firm believer in "laughter is the best medicine" but some days I just can't find mine....so I watch your videos (especially the string ball one!) You hook me right up!😁 I do look at your thumbnail pics to find your videos, its so much easier 😂. How about a Craftin' and Cussin' channel? 🤣🤣🤣 The majority of us have told you that we like you just being you, that includes the cussing. We all do it! We don't want someone whos just smashed their hand to say "Oh puppy tails" we want the real "Holy shit!!" A.I. could never replace you!! Face it woman.....WE LOVE ALL OF YOU💕💕

I respect your realness. Don't change yourself for anyone. I will take a REAL person over a FAKE one anyway. It's not like you are saying the F word ever other minute like you hear on the street, or taking the Lord's name in vain. People need to stop judging others, that's God's job, and He still loves us. BE KIND & DO NOT JUDGE. Those without sin, cast the first stone. Love you girl, KEEP IT REAL 💜💜💜. LUV YA.

WOW..again my comment was lifted. Probably because I names a certain online retailer. That A spot, is unwelcome I guess. I was telling all about my horrid sciatica leg pain I had for over 2 years that no one seemed to be to concerned about except to offer me adicting pain killers...which like you Zbrandi, I can NOT take. So...a Dr recommended Inflammitone to me (it IS the correct spelling). I got it at the online site I don't dare name, A? Within 1 month the pain started to ease up. With in 2 months I was good as new. Before that, all I could do pain free was sit and lay down. My boyfriend who has lower back pain tried it and WHAM-O..his pain was gone in a few weeks! I also mentioned Dr. Osborne here on yt. He talks about carnivore. VERY interesting explanations about how and why it works..plus what it works on. Worth listening to.

I am so glad you found something that works... YT can be touchy..lol sorry it was deleting stuff..lol I don't recommend what I am doing for everyone but the fact is 3 and a half weeks I have almost no sciatica symptoms. Still restless Legg but no sciatica. It is mind boggling. Also, the constant neck and shoulder pain has eased. All the facts about the diet and about the glucose and sucrose in carbs. And, the stuff with fruits and vegetables. It is all very real. I couldn't believe it. The more I read the more I learned the more I was like something has to give. I will try anything. And, this is helping at the moment. I can certainly eliminate more because I am doing a very low spectrum but I'm content

Agreed. My kids are very respectful 90% of the time. That 10% though got me close to catching a case..lol And, I don't care if my kids cuss from time to time. My issue is the inappropriate nature of how or who it's tossed at. Which is why I just try to tell them do as you are told. Not as I do. Because, I am grown and know better. My kids just wanna act like they grown and then still wine to mom to fix everything, then wanna argue when facts outweigh their reasoning for stuff they feel they should, have, get or do. So... anyway..lol yeah I cuss and they 3 of them also drive me to it..hahah..jk jk
