Weekly Vlog | How I'm Growing on Instagram, My Annual Halloween Party, More DIYs! | Raven Elyse

I'm gaining a lot more followers on Instagram these days and several of my reels have gone viral! And I guess it's all because I've been tapping into these Halloween DIYs which I'm having a lot of fun with too! In this week's vlog, I decorated my house for Halloween, hosted my 5th annual pumpkin party for the kids, went to a baby shower, and made a giant box of candy for my outdoor Halloween decor...Oh and I ranted a little bit too lol!

I understand the intention behind telling me “I don’t have to explain myself” but as a content creator, you kinda do! Part of posting myself online is opening up the door for a lot of questions, confusion, assumptions…because you only get a percentage of information from my videos. This means that if I want people to understand me and have the right ideas about me or what I’m doing, then I have to communicate extra information for context. I can’t expect viewers to understand something I never explained. It makes me feel better to have the freedom and space to express myself in this way. I like being able to make myself clear, I like giving context and background info where needed. And most of all I like to talk and tell y’all how I’m feeling even if it’s negative sometimes. That’s life. We all have struggles, annoyances, insecurities…this is supposed to be my safe space to speak on those things!

Raven idc what anybody says I thought the outfits for culturecon were cute, relatable, and accessible. Honestly it was refreshing to see an outfit that I can wear in my day to day life. You’re still very fashionable! Don’t be discouraged!

Loving the weekly vlogs feel like old days 💗🫶🏽

[brookewilliams]

Girly! If you don’t have new clothes just put on pieces that are timeless so you’re not worried about a new trend but always looking stylish :)

[aabblluummee]

You should make a space in your closet for ‘going out’ outfits, like things for trips or big girl outings. Also, it’s not boring to repeat and outfit once or twice, because it’s so much less stressful wearing something you KNOW you look good in instead of stressing what you MIGHT look good in.

Yes we love the 1hr long vlogs keep doing them please and thank you

[aliciaespinoza]

I love the fact that you don't spend thousands on purses and shoes that the majority of your followers will never be able to afford. You buy items that us common folk can afford to go out and purchase if we like your fashions and home goods that you show on your channel. You are practical and wise with your finances. Love that for us.

Raven be kind to yourself! You are an amazing human

Thank you for keeping it real in this video. The societal pressure of “perfectionism ” is so overrated. I found the internal struggles that you’re experiencing totally relatable as a mother, homeowner and as a woman. But fr fr you doing your thang girl, don’t sweat it 🤍

[danii]

Feels nostalgic tbh Raven, thank you for the weekly vlogs & consistency! Always looking forward to Sunday’s upload 👋🏾✨

[maryburton]

Raven keep being you and doing you. Don't let the negative people get to you. You are an amazing mom and creator.

[LindaFennell-nzel]

You are such an amazing person.
Blessings Queen ❤

[ndglance]

I think you might like a capsule wardrobe — quality basics that easily mix and match and never go out of style.

I wore the same outfits in different colors and patterns every day for work and my coworkers complimented me ALL THE TIME. It didn’t register to them that I was wearing a uniform lol.

[sandyb]

It was so great seeing your sweet face!! We miss you!!!

[doseofroxanneyt]

I’m sat. My Sunday isn’t complete without your videos

[Davis-carmencita]

Raven don't stress yourself out trying to worry about the judgemental people, you do the best you can do at what you're doing at that particular time
