Grackle

[GreySkies82]

I took accutane when I was 11 and 12 years old (usually they don't prescribe to people so young but my acne was really affecting my self esteem). It did clear up my acne perfectly but gave me very dry, flaky skin all over my face. My dermatologist at the time recommended using the Aveeno moisturiser. It even dried my eyes out so I had to use eye drops multiple times per day. The main side effect for me was really bad joint pain. I was okay to walk but could no longer take part in swimming or cross country as the pain was excruciating. My acne did return a couple of years later but this may be because of teenage hormones. It was only on a mild level this time though, whereas before accutane, my acne was really cystic and inflamed. Hope this helps! I think it's good that Grace is sharing her accutane journey as I would have found it really helpful and assuring back then.

thank you so much for this help i really appreciate this x

What type of church is she part of? Evangelical?

New viewer here.
Could someone give me a rundown on who all these people are?
Chloe
Jesse
Honor

I see you all mentioning them and can’t work out who they are

 

[Purdy_1995]

I found Chloe's finance's dad's page the other day snooping through Grace's following list (his profile is on public) and he's definitely part of the church

Oh really ? That's really interesting, I wonder how their parents would feel if they wanted to date someone outside of the church ? From what I've observed they only seem to socialise with people from the church any time she mentions a friend or visitors they all seem to be "from church"

I get the impression someone’s been reading here. In her last video she said how she’d not been to the shops in a week. And made a point of mentioning it was for essentials (female hygiene) and I swear she’s never ever brought that up before.

What video was this? I think I missed it but I'd be interested to watch where she said it!

Grace, her mum and dad work in the church...

Is her brother in it?

She's dairy intolerant, not lactose intolerant (as most people wrongly presume)

but didn't she use allergic in a previous video? Or maybe I am misremembering?

It's a TV programme that follows a few people each episode of their trips to A&E (Emergency Room). No idea what episode Tom was in but I vaguely remember it being a road accident he made a quick full recovery and his Dad featured on it and he seemed really really devoted to his family- sounded like a lovely guy. Tom's Dad spoke about how his own Dad wasn't as loving I think? I've tried to find the episode but couldn't

Edit: https://www.stgeorges.nhs.uk/newsitem/new-episode-of-24-hours-in-ae-live-and-learn/ found this at least
Edit 2: got it!

Thank you for answering my questions.

It seems he’s the principal of a different oasis academy, not the one posted before.

I do think shes great as I've said on here but will be honest sometimes i do struggle to watch her, completely not her fault, but I guess since we are the same age and feel like we have some similarities but our lives are so different. I'm not one to really get jealous over celebrities lives or wish I was them but I look at Grace and really do wish I was more like her. I have felt like this more over girls I used to be friends with at school and seeing all the great things they are doing now I guess Grace is just like them too. It's quite pathetc really and I feel like at 22 I'm a bit old to be wishing I was someone else. Obviously she's worked really hard to be as successful as she is and I'm genuinely happy for her to have done so well in her degree, YouTube, etc and she has a lovely family and good circle of friends. She seems confident and happy to be who she really is and I admire that. Just as sometime who grew up in foster care and then was placed back into an abusive family situation that I had to run away from then ended up homeless for two years and still struggle with anxiety, depression, ptsd from it I have always wished to have some sort of family and hers seems like such a happy one and it goes from upsetting me to being sort of weirdly nice to watch every week like one day if I do have kids I will to raise them in a happy family home like hers to feeling sad that I don't know what it's like to have that relationship with family.

I don't really know what the point of posting this is, I just wonder if anyone else feels the same about anyone on youtube? And, of course I know that just because she appears happy online everybody has their struggles and no one's life is 100% perfect and nobody should be jealous over anyone. It's not a nice way to be and I know that so don't want to seem rude by saying this I guess it's just on my mind and don't really have anywhere else I can speak about it. xx

I realise you posted this nearly a year ago, and this year has been sh*iiiit but I hope you're ok and doing better. Xxx

I'm really confused with her latest video, she says she is not allergic to dairy but just intolerant.... in the past she has said exactly the opposite?! (I am dairy intolerant so this is something I know a lot about)

 

[Daisypraises]

Oh really ? That's really interesting, I wonder how their parents would feel if they wanted to date someone outside of the church ? From what I've observed they only seem to socialise with people from the church any time she mentions a friend or visitors they all seem to be "from church"

They seem pretty chill on videos but I guess they'll want to come across as good so looking at the dad's Instagram page (Chloe's fiancé) he seems heavily involved in the church

They only ´complain´ I would have is as they would have said that the cheap food tasted horrible. Because a lot of people can only get the cheaper end because they dont have another option. I would like to know if they would have tasted the difference if they didnt have the plates side by side but on other days so you cant compare the two. I do think she is a little harsh but she isnt hurtful and im sure Grace knows her mum very well and would know if she was being hurtful.

yeah thats what i mean i dont think she means it in a rude way at all i just think shes to the point
i think its a rare a family makes everything from scratch so i can understand it must taste so different i commend them for it i aint got time for that with 2 small kids

 

[BalkanBae]

The dairy thing isn’t that weird in my opinion either. The exact same thing happened to my friend, for about 6 years she was intolerant and could barely handle any dairy.
Suddenly it just sort of went away? she tried a little pizza because she missed it and thought she’d just deal with the discomfort but nothing happened

It was really strange but wow was she happy it did!

Strange because that’s exactly what happened to me. Now I’m ok.
I know people are curious (as am I) about Grace’s dairy situation and I know that she’s used to be open with us. But I wonder if she feels uncomfortable talking further about it. I can’t imagine having a large audience and being able under scrutiny

 

[orlyb1310]

This worries me, too. Kinda OT but having worked in academia I know tonnes of people who have gotten to PhD level, so mid/late 20s typically, and have never had a job. I worked in shops and stuff since I was 15 (considered late to have your first p/t job at the time) and I have noticed that in recent years I don't see as many teens in jobs like that anymore. I really feel for young people, especially at the moment, when every job advert for an entry level position wants 3 years of experience or is an apprenticeship for working as a bloody receptionist or shop assistant (slight hyperbole, but only just).

Grace has volunteered at Chloe's school though and she does a lot for the church, so at least she has some work experience.

She used to work in BHS

 

[beatrix246]

Anyone have a link to the asos top she showed in the cinnamon video? I've been trying to track it down, but can't seem to.

 

[Felix08]

But you’re not supposed to go with people you don’t live with in tier 2

To be honest, I dont live in England so dont know anything about tier 2.

 

[CabalofBolorneaise]

Tbh she tagged her earrings too, if you tag the brands it saves answering everyone’s questions about where it was from so I don’t automatically think it’s an undisclosed gift. Although I didn’t see her say she got it gifted at any point on her channel.

It was the second pic which is basically a close up of the clip that made me wonder, she doesn’t normally show her accessories that close up so it seemed odd for her. I know she tends to tag her outfits and stuff like the clip when it’s just visible in the pics of her to save questions.

She might just really like it though, I hope so as I’d like to think she’s honest and would declare it.

 

[melikey]

Really? I think it's great she's not hiding it for those who do suffer with acne. We need to normalise seeing it, as people often feel ashamed of it and like they have to cover it up.

Sure but zoomed right in on someones face like a lot of her camera angles is a bit too much acne or not.

 

[Kit123]

Ah her brother got engaged!!!

Where did you see it?
