Nina, that just felt like you just wrote my life-script. I have come out of a divorce and it’s so comforting to know I’m not the only one who felt those (and now I know, unfounded) feelings of guilt and shame. I am the first divorcee in my family. I felt so alone even with the unrelenting support of friends and family. I felt like a complete failure and so guilty that I had unwittingly brought someone who turned out to be so utterly reprehensible into my beautiful family’s life.

I found d your channel this year as I had stopped wearing makeup and never wanted to dip my toe into the water again. My friends are encouraging me to give it a try and learning how to do makeup properly thanks to you fills my self confidence.

Thank you!

Your channel is amazing and as a teacher, might I say that you are an exemplary educator ! You present and explain everything so well and you are so down to earth and easy to relate to!

I am a paid member of your Substack and I just LOVE it - I honestly do not know where you get the time to do everything on your Substack page as well as your YouTube channel. Thank you so much Nina ❤️🌺Karen , New Zealand xx

Hi Karen, I'm glad my story resonated with you but at the same time I'm sad you had to go through it! Just remember you need to be your own biggest cheerleader because although people may come and go in life, you will always have yourself to rely on. Thank you so much for your kind words!

Hey Nina, I’m not sure how else to get I. Touch so I’m using this thread- what was the video you did fairly recently where you did your highlight under painting either the Nars soft matte concealer. I can’t find it. Thank you 🙏🌺

Thank you for sharing Nina. I was in 10 year relationship after I graduated that was toxic and I had to end it. Breakup is hard and yes you go on this mad emotional roller coaster ride, but once you come out on the other side it does make you stronger. I am not the person I was back then and have worked hard to be a better person as I went through years of telling myself I wasn't good enough. Now at 50, I'm the happiest I've ever been. When you feel good about yourself and life, the right people gravitate towards you easily.

I 100% agree. You have to treat yourself good before anyone else can.

I’ve been divorced more than once and it’s never easy. I always made excuses for the others bad behavior and that was surely a mistake. I tolerate much less but have a wonderful husband and I’m very happy. It was definitely a learning experience

I’m so happy that you are able to find love again after the divorce. My Mom had the same thing. She’s going on 8 years Married with her 2nd Husband. Yes I had a different experience but with dating. I started dating when I was 25 and took 18 years to find the right one. 2018 I met Jose a Filipino who I met at my old job. We were friends back in March 2018 and officially Girlfriend Boyfriend in Match 2021. He’s different from the other guys I dated but he’s 9 years older then me, that’s ok, his are daughters 25, 23 and like me very much. Jose is 52 and I’m 44. I found love again at age 42, but never late then never, in the future we will get married. 🇺🇸❤️🇵🇭

Hi Alexa, hope you're well! Sometimes it takes more time that you'd like to find the one we're meant to be with but I always believe it's because you weren't ready before. I'm glad you're happy!
