How to Deal with Haters & Mean People
Then if you're online...oh brother! Anyone can make up anything they want, post it, and other people will think it's true! I get so many mean comments on Youtube, some really sad and mean people write all kinds of mean things about me online. But the good news is, none of these people really know me. They sit behind their computers, acting really brave and bold, and gossip. Gossiping is one of the worst things you can do! We should all be finding good things to say about people, kind things, speaking words that will make people feel better. Not tearing people apart.
There are a lot of sad, hurting people in the world, and all they can do is spread their hurt, by hurting others with their words. It really is amazing to think, if someone is so upset by you, that they devote all this time and energy to being mean...it's kind of funny really! If you really don't care about someone you wouldn't even spend the time writing a mean comment, thinking of something mean to say or do...obviously these people have no lives! I am too busy to read all the mean comments people leave...I just laughed one day, when one of my friends read this post where all these people were leaving me mean comments, and one of them said, "yeah, I bet it's Kandee posting all these comments because she's mad!"....ha ha ha ha...if they only knew, I never even read any of the junk they wrote and my friend had to tell me how silly these people were that thought I even took the time to read all the garbage they wrote about me!
I have a life, and I don't have time to waste listening or reading what any hater says. Keep your hate to yourself. It's like if someone is screaming all kinds of stuff to you.....you don't have to listen, you can walk away...then what, they look like a FOOL yelling all by themselves!
HA! HA! HA! HATERS! The thing they never realize is, the joke is on them, they look like the fool who is devoting all this time to you. How special, they have nothing better in their lives than to spend their precious lives on you.
Next time you have a hater...press delete, turn on the IGNORE sign in your head, and forget whatever it is they are saying or have said. Don't read it, don't even let it come into your head. And remember, HURTING PEOPLE, HURT PEOPLE. They really are sad and pathetic, hurting, hurt, and all they have in their heart is the ability to hurt others. IT really is sad. I feel bad for them, it's like they have a disease.
And we, my precious Kandee family, know truth, celebrate kindness, and happiness...and we have the power to say: "I'm strong, wonderful, and no matter how you try to hurt me...it's not going to work. God knows the truth about me, and that's all that matters!"
You are wonderful, beautiful, talented, creative, have a good heart, and it doesn't matter what anyone thinks.....you live your life amazingly! Haters are nothing more that hurt, hurters...sad, and they will NEVER have happiness in their hearts that way.
BE HAPPY! Know that people have said all kinds of things about me that aren't true....it doesn't even bother me because I know how ridiculous their lies are. If someone said, "you're a crazy clown with a red nose!", it wouldn't bother me because I know it's NOT TRUE! Same thing goes with HATERS, I don't care what they say, because I know it's not true!
Sorry this is so long, but I had a LOT I wanted to say to your heart! Let's be lovers not haters!

You are a sweetheart. They are jealous of your beauty, your heart, your strength and your talent. The only way jealousy can be fixed is if the jealous individual realized that what they are hating is the very thing they wish they could do. Pursuing what they want in life would be better spent time.

kandee honey, don't worry about the haters ! us cancer girls attract a lot, i mean a lot of envy ! you must love yourself and that's that.

And it crazy because we will all have to deal with haters! everytime someone is progressing in life there are more haters trying to bring us down! We should all try to be more loving nonjudgemental people, who are more positive and who speak positively about others. and that will help us get on the road to happiness.

When I saw this I couldn't believe that you get hate. I mean you're beautiful, talented and so kind. you show God's love and you're so generous. I couldn't think a mean thing up about you if I tried.
and why should we judge eachother anyway? no one is perfect, and to hide behind a screen while doing it shows lack of courage and that someone doesn't really know you.
God bless Kanddee, I hope you keep ignoring those haters! - June 17, 2010 at 11:59 PM

I'm following you for a few month now (this blog and youtube) and I have to say: You're an amazing person. You made me laugh, cry and think about a lot of things. Your words made me respond on an emotional level and I only know so little about you as a person in real life. But the few pieces I got to know made me really respect you and will do so in the future.

It is so true that hurting people hurt others I know I do that sometimes and I realize that the hurt that I have inside me at that moment causes me to hurt another person and it's really sad because I know I truly dint wanna hurt them, what I truly want is to be happy and to make other peoples lives happy who are around me we all feed off eachothers energy so it's important to be a person that is happy that others will want to be around and to brighten the lives of those around us instead of having a bitter attitude and infecting the people around us with it. And it's funny like even knowing HOW I should always be there are times where I cannot always carry that good behavior out but it's something that I need to work on, I know I'm not perfect and will never be but that's not gonna stop me from trying to be a better person each passing day :)
urbso sweet kandee (maybe that's why ur name is kandee!) lol I love that you are a little bubble of joy floating around the world :) - June 18, 2010 at 12:01 AM

Kandee you are sooo right!!! Again!!! I used to listen to the negativity more than i did to all the positive stuff people would tell me. I paid so much attention to the mean people until i realized they were people i didnt really need around me at all. they wanted to see me down all the time and deep down inside i was very sad. Then all of a sudden i blocked them away outta my head and outta my heart. when they kept being mean to me all i would say is that there is something inside them that is bothered so much about me and couldnt figure it out thats why they kept coming back with their negative comments. there is obviously something these people LOVE about you but cant be kind enough to say so,,,so they let their ego get the best of them so all they say are mean things...i too feel sorry for the sad, hurtful, mean people of the world! God knows the truth and maybe someday the truth will set them free. Much love!!
p.s. cant wait to see you at glaminar!!! - June 18, 2010 at 12:08 AM

Thank you so much for this Kandee! I really needed to hear this today! It was like a God given gift that I would stumble upon these amazing words of wisdom today...I don't know if you remember me but I met you at Disneyland this memorial day weekend...my name is Amorette and you met my mom! You are seriously the most kindest genuine person and I have always admired that about you! You are truly beautiful inside and out! It doesn't matter what haters say because their opinions don't matter! Keep doing what you're doing because you're wonderful!

That's it, as long as you know the truth it doesn't matter; it's sad that some people honestly have nothing better to do. I mean why not try bringing people up instead of down? It irritates me because that's how my cousins are they're always meab to me no matter how nice I am to them and you know what I don't care Because that's their problem not mine as long as I know I'm a good person there's nothing mean to say! I always feel inspired by you you're such an inspiration, Thank you for all your brave words and warm heart! Ignore what the haters say!!!

Well said! I'm sending you some extra love and positive energy!! Like you said people who are not happy or comfortable with their own lifes seem to be negative, mean and often times try to cause a stir of negative emotion within other people so they don't have to be alone in theire own misery. It's sad, but the good news is it's easy to rise above it.. you are so good at staying positive and all I feel when I think of you is happiness. I know I'm not the only one! Keep on being you, never let someones mean words settle inside, you are way to awesome for that :0) Loves,

Great Message and I 100% agree...People often times go out of there way to be mean post mean things on twitter etc only to be hurtful to others and they are the first ones talking about what God loves (REALLY).... Haters are like bag garbage.....I take my garbage out I don't play around in it because it's nasty and discarded items I don't need or want in my life
Love the positive message - June 18, 2010 at 12:14 AM

Your insight is incredibly inspiring and motivating. What you just said really hit a personal note with me...girls and women can be cruel at best sometimes, its nice to know that other people experience the same negativity and handle it with maturity and dignity. Your positive inner beauty definitely shines through to the people who support you and admire your passion. Thank you!!!

Most of the time people hate because they are jealousy! You are an amazing person, Kandee. It is so go that you don't let people affect you by the lies that they tell. It is best to just brush your shoulder off. It is way more productive. I commend you for the way that you handled this, your positive energy! Keep that up girlie! It sets you apart from many people. Keep loving like you always do! I am so glad to be apart of the Kandee Family!

Thank you Kandee!! I've had possibly the worst 2 years of my life, and every time I think I am at my lowest, you post something like this. It seems you are the voice of Spirit reminding to keep my head up, and make my own reality. Thank you so much for your inspirational words. People tell you all the time how much you inspire them, and I'm no different. Happy days to you and yours!!

Yes you are right, there are a lot of mean people out there who would just waste their time and energy on hating people. But we shouldn't be like them because if we do the same, then there's no difference between them and us.

Hi Kandee,
I recently subscribed to you on youtube and enjoy reading your blog and watching your tutorials and other videos. You are such a positive person! I have never heard or read a single hurtful, hateful thing from you which lead me to appreciate that although you absolutely don't have to share an ounce of your life with anyone, you DO...for those whose lives you've touched and made feel more 'normal' because they can relate to you...keep doing what you are doing! Remember there will ALWAYS be haters, but without them, we would never be able to REALLY appreciate those who love and support us, quirks and all :-) - June 18, 2010 at 1:14 AM

I absolutely agree with you Kandee, they are not worth spending any time on.

I admire your strength. I know when I had some haters on my blog, I cancelled my blog. I try not to be so personal anymore because of it either. I felt my space had been violated and I was hurt. I am now blogging again but don't know which direction to take it. People are so callous and should always think before they speak or write.
Thanks for being you.

I think the best response to all those haters...is be even more happy!! =o)
I <3 you kandee, all people do mistakes, I did many in my life, none is perfect, but you showed me things no one has ever did and that's one of the reasons none of them will affect my way of seeing you.. You are a star brightening my life every day..

Dear Kandee,
Even if we don't know each other in person, you are like an older sister I've never had!
I would like to share with you a story written by Paulo Coelho, you might like it :)
Changing attitude
"Over the course of one year, give a coin to each person who offends or upsets you," instructed the abbot of a young man who wanted people to follow a spiritual path.
For the next twelve months, the boy gave a coin to each person who offended or upset him, as he was instructed. At the end of the year, he returned to the abbot to find out what the next steps were.
"Go into town and buy food for me," the abbot responded.
Once the boy left, the abbot changed his clothes, disguised himself as a beggar and went to the gate. When the boy approached, he began to insult him.
"Good!" said the boy, "for a whole year I had to pay the people who upset or offended me, and now I can be offended for free, without spending anything!"
Hearing this, the abbot removed his disguise. "He who does not take insults seriously, is on the path to wisdom."

Ur amazing Kandee... I felt just like this a few yrs ago. My husband had this crazy girl that he dated for 2 months... when she found out us getting together....she went nuts. She stalked me for 3 yrs.....and would write me all these crazy things... about me...about him...even as far his family...it was nutty! We called the police to file a stalking report. Can't do much... but atleast its on their books. If u heard some of the things she said....it was nutty. But then after I felt bad for her... most who hate others ...actually really hate themselves... took me yrs to realize she was a miserable person and she had to some way make others feel like her. I don't have time for that! I'm a mom to 4 kids...happily married to man of my dreams. We both love God and well were stinking happy! So I just tuned it out like u said.... she stopped talking to us...she is still M.I.A in our lives.... and we couldn't be happier!

Hi Kandee...In my experience, when i had haters trying to hurt me with mean words i laught at them (right in their face) and said "yes that's right, may be i'm ugly or stupid or fat and so on, but that's me and you couldn't say anything, that will hurt me" and countinue laughing. :) and they are so confused, because they don't have what more to say. But inside my head i know who i am and i don't take their comments as good criticism because they're saying these things only to hurt me, not to trying to help me or give me some good advice or recommendations! You're awesome person and artist and if they don't like you it's their loss!!! Ava

I agree so much with this. I have a journal on livejournal and everything was fine and dandy until I had my son. At this point, I'd been journal-ing online for about 6 years and had not one problem. Suddenly, all of the 'moms' were attacking me. Mothers attacking mothers?! C'mon now, i thought we had better things to do! and then it spread to other cowards who hid behind the computer screen. The sad thing was, not one of them were creative enough to come up with a new insult... it was ALL THE SAME INSULT! Really original. You have to laugh it off!

Your my idol you really are....

Kandee, I think you are amazing, and I can totally relate to what you mean here. (I came across your blog a few months ago when I was studying a theatre make up course - your 'Queen of Hearts video led me to here:))
Anyhow, I spent way too long worrying about what people wwere saying about me a few years back and I actually let it affect my happiness. Since I realised that these people were in fact just sad and actually quite pathetic themselves, and since I have grown to love myself a bit more, I have felt free from this worry. It is difficult sometimes to shrug it off, and sometimes I have to tell myself- THEY DON'T MATTER! But when I look at my little boy, my lovely boyfriend, and the happiness that I have in my life, I realise they really DON'T matter.
Thank you for continuing to inspire me every day! :)

Wow!.. Your heart really went into to this post, Kandee! I think your follower count speaks for itself. People LOVE you, and love what you say and stand for. As for me, I grew up with miserable people, haters you could say, whom I was able to escape from, once I was old enough; but whom STILL leave me needing to constantly remember I'm better than how they treated me, and better than what they say. Their own personal misery cannot hurt me, can't even touch me, if I don't LET it!.. Great post, and hope you have a great weekend!

If I'm ever down I always check out one of your videos or check your blog and you have always without a doubt put a smile on my face. I could say so much more but I don't think there is enough space Lol :) In a nutshell I think you are truly amazing and thanks heaps for putting a smile on so many peoples faces x

Hi Kandee,
I've watched many of your videos and have really enjoyed them. I've also stopped to think how much you share of yourself, your time and energy to make the videos and place them out there to share with others. From what I've seen in the way of comments, which I only read to see if there is clarification on a specific point, is that 99% of the people absolutely think you're smashing in every way. I never leave comments only because I'm always in a hurry. This post touched my heart. Keep being Kandee!
Many blessing! Oh, I hope your leg is healing well. I was sorry to hear that it happened.
My best,

Thanks for this post, Kandee!
Recently I also experienced an unpleasant hater incident online. You are right, most of these people don't even know who you are (I am) really, and it's just like a cult/group psychology where one hater starts, everyone would just follow blindly.
Apparently there was a second incident too, but like you said, just IGNORE and live our own happy lives!

aww i know, it's just so sad, i think it's just that the more famous you get, the more people are jealous of you, and the more they start hating you ... but you're awesome, kandee, and nothing can change that!
oh, and i'm one of those introverted people, who, if anyone says mean things to me, i'll get very very upset about it, and be sad for aages! i wish i could change that about me, but i just care way too much about how other people see me! i just want to fit in! :(
about the "kandee must be mad" thing, are you talking about the lemon-on-skin video? cos i don't really think she meant to be mean, she was just letting everyone know her personal experience, she also said in her video that she didn't really want to make you mad... so i hope everything's okay with that :)
wow, this is the longest comment i've ever written, but i love that you're gonna be reading this!!! eee, kandee knows i exist!!! :O hahaha!!! i wish i was an actress so i could get my makeup done from you!! but naw, i'm a graphic design student :D and i'm loving it, so that's all that matters, right?!!! - June 18, 2010 at 5:12 AM

Hi Kandee! I follow your blog, youtube and facebook. I don't know how anyone could say anything mean to or about you. I don't know you personally, but just from reading what you write and watching you on youtube and you seem like such a happy and nice person. Someone that could easily get along with anyone. It's a shame that people are mean just to be mean. Just to hurt someone's feelings so they can feel good about themselves. I was treated the same way when I was younger and even a little now. I am glad you write posts like this. Oh and your confidence post totally gave me a little "boost" :D
Thank you for putting the happiness back out into the world!

thanx for writing such an inspirational article. this really shows that you're a good role model for many young girls who look up to you. i personally try to have the attitude to ignore what haters say about me and thats the best way you can get on with your life. when I was younger they used to hurt me.. but now its all good. :)

Oh Kandee, I am so sorry. Words have so much power - as you know. They can cause some serious damage. I admire your *not* reading the crap, wasting your time or energy.
So, I have to ask, what does your "friend" gain by telling you what awful things are being said? Seems pretty useless to me.
I would suggest telling your friends to stop telling you that which you don't wish to hear about in the first place.
Peace and Grace.

Hey Kandee.
Your posts always have perfect timing.
I just wanted to say that in you entire post you did not hate on anyone, you did not say mean things about these people who hate on you, you only stated your feelings and how sad it must be for the haters to spend so much time on hating. This make you the bigger and better person. It shows your true colors. Kandee I think you are an amazing person with a wonderful warm heart. Whenever you are feeling blue just look back at all the wonderful people who you have inspired and touched in some special way. You are an angle in disguise.
Love Katie - June 18, 2010 at 6:28 AM

Hi Kandee! I think you will like this. It's very funny and gets right to the point.
Haters just have bigger problems than we know....so we should not let them take up space in our brain. The opposite of love isn't hate, it's neutrality. It takes too much energy to hate..so why waste the engery to get upset by it...
You are beautiful and amazing and millions of people love you as a makeup artist and an inspirer and a best friend.
Becky Mekhail - June 18, 2010 at 6:29 AM
Amen-I totally agree. Hurting people hurt people. Just ignore and concentrate on the people who you love and love you back. We will go through many trials and pain in our lives we just have to cling to the truth and not let anything else bring us down. Life is too short to let others ruin it by untrue statements.

It's easier to say something nice to someone and make their day better than put that negativity out there in the universe and worry about getting it back ten fold! I don't know about some of those people out there, but my mom taught me that if you don't have anything nice to say - don't say anything at all. It's okay to question or disagree with someone but for heavens sake you don't have to be rude & nasty!

Kandee, You are pretty much the most loving beautiful person, so i dont know why anyone would ever say anything mean to you! What youre saying is so true, mean people just want to hurt someone else to take the hurt away from themselves but it actually wont take the pain away like they think it will so they just keep trying harder and harder and hurting people more and more. Thank you so much for that post Kandee, i thik its something good to be reminded of. Never let haters get to you!

you are absolutly right. Think of how Britney Spears feels! I love her I think she is amazing yet everytime I talk about how much I admire her peoples first comment is always "she's crazy, not talented etc..". Funny thing is she is making hella money and is world reknown. Its all part of being in the spot light. One thing to keep in mind is these haters are reading and following up on your life so that should tell you a little bit about how their life is going! Don't show how it affects you thats why they keep doing it. I love your make-up video you did for the "slave for you" video. I went out and bought all the mac products you used!

Thank you so much Kandee! I love reading your blogs because I can relate to them in so many ways. I have struggled for the last several years with my fiances brother and his wife. We all work together in a salon and have alot of mutual friends. They have spent so much time judging me and gossiping about me mosty working off of assumptions. It has been so hurtful! I finally started to stand up for myself and try to prove them wrong, and make them realize they are just being mean. This only made it worse though. They know I am sensitive so it only fules their fire and makes them want to affect me more. Finally I am to the point in my life where I am able to not be so affected, and not take things so personally. It's so hard not to be hurt, when the things they say are so untrue. But I know I am a good person, fiance and mother. Your blogs and your sisters have really helped to change my perspective. So thank you so much for your inspiration! Also looking to God for strength is starting to heal everything in my life! Lots of love, Jessica

You are you and that's what makes you such an attractive person (as you said in another blog haha). =) You have taught me to have confidence and just be myself.

I recently started a beauty related blog and youtube channel , and this was always my fear. I find it amazing how many people take the time to be so hateful online. what is the point? Im out enjoying the day, and these people are being miserable sitting at their computer. You are the bigger person for ignoring!
- June 18, 2010 at 8:37 AM
Kandee, you are completely right.
We only benefit from keeping joy in our hearts and spreading love around!
I've been following your videos and blog for over a year now, and I've seen some mean comments left. There you are, giving people all kinds of great makeup/life advice, and they just seem to care to spread their little black smoke around, dont they.
Don't you ever worry about that! You are extremely beautiful, kind, such a precious person!!
Thank you for keeping everybody's hope up everyday with your encouraging words!!
We love you! - June 18, 2010 at 8:37 AM

GIRL!!! ITS SO TRUE!!! it takes more effort to say something nice then to say something negative. Its ignorant and lazy to speak negative things about others and even more childish when you know NOTHING about the truth!!! Speculation/assumption and opinions are natural. But its what you do with it that matters. There is alot of energy and time wasted on hate. Its a choice you make, its your perception on things.
Everyone can keep posting away with hateful stuff, its only going to make you shine even brighter. - June 18, 2010 at 8:39 AM

Hey Kandee!
My name is Kara and I'm a huge fan of yours! When I was looking at your blog about bullying and people hurting others, I really took interest to it. I created a platform two years ago called Promoting Prevention: Stop Bullying Before it Starts. I tell children how to stop bullying, and how to help others when they see someone being bullied. And then they become a "Kara's Kindness Kid". Kandee you have been so inspiring and I admire that you tell people to go for their dreams and not to care about what others think because the best person you can be is yourself!
Lots of love,

There are so many of us who adore you and look forward to your next video and blog post!xxx

Even if you don't post this comment that's fine. I really meant this more for you anyway just didn't know how to email you. :) Scroll down to her #32. :) I thought your post and hers really fit well together today.
Be well Kandee and here's a ((((HUG)))) from me to you. Your true heart shines through in every post, twitter and video. God is proud of you to that I have no doubt.
I really hope I could meet you one day...I think we could be good friends...so much in common.
Anyway I've taken enough of your time! Have a good one~ Missi - June 18, 2010 at 9:50 AM
Hey girl, I'm sorta new to your youtube channel and blog, but I can totally understand where you are coming from. Ironically, one of your top subbies is my boyfriends ex girlfriend, and she tries to make my life a living hell. Stalks my youtube, does some weird shit. Always trying to one up me.
But then I got to the point where I just grew tired of her, and now I don't know what the hell happened to her, and honestly i dont care. I got tired of always being insecure, and i realized that he chose me over her for many reasons, and i shouldnt be so threatened by her. She'd post rude and fucked up shit on her page about me, and i would go for it like a fish and a worm.
But you are so right, people are so fake online sometimes, they post ridiculous things that are so obviously not true.
Jus gotta move on ^_^
I have. Dont take shit girl!!! you are amazing and beautiful and funny and nothing anyone says will change that!!!! - June 18, 2010 at 10:02 AM

your so nice and genuine and i dont understand why people feel he need to put negative comments on things you say, you dont say controversial things and make accusations about other people. You are gorgeous and always have nice things to say. You give people GREAT advice for free. If they dont like what you have to say or dont like how you talk then they can turn off the video or stop reading the blog and move on to something that they want to watch. We shouldnt care about what they have to say but it is hard to not let it get to you sometimes. sometimes the best thing i can do is feel sorry for them like you said they must be really hurting in their own lives if the only way they can channel things is to say mean hurtful things to people they dont even know. keep on doing what you are doing!

Oh Kandee - BIG HUG I was off of work today - going to run my errands on my day off and i turned on my computer to see the weather and of course your blog is on my yahoo board :-)
I had to stop and write you before I left today
Your attitude is the right one, its doesnt mean that you dont have a heart and soul that can feel hate, we can, however, yes, your right we can hit delete, put up our compassion and loving shield to bounce back those comments and know that those who say them feel lost and unhappy and is why they do this, its not that we are better, we are all children of god, some have just lost thier way, and we pray for them and then we can focus our mind on goodness and yes your right you can reach out to your freinds and family here who send thoughts of love to you all the time, just like that boomerang you send it and then we send it back.......can you feel it? Yes, I know you can. Let me go to my box and see what I can find for you today kandee, hold on............................Well now insnt this interesting. This is a quote or a prayer really from Marrianne Williamson. It says. "When something or someone makes me feel bad inside and I know it really has nothing to do with me, I pray for a miracle. I pray dear lord please let me be willing to see this differently, and allow me to remember who I am"...wow you did just that kandee already, you are way ahead of the process to heal your heart. Again BIG HUG love your freind Stephanie
Oh and PS - you can still havea great day, so have a great day kandee
Oh and kinda interesting - another quote was puled out atthe same time today that I didnt think realted to todays blog, but I do find it interesting and still believe its meant for you, maybe you can use it at one of your glamminars to inspire - its a quote from oprah - its says "Find a way to get paid for doing what you love. Then every day will be a bonus" - June 18, 2010 at 10:07 AM
Kandee, you are amazing. You are such an inspiration to me. You helped me realize my dream of being a hair stlist/ makeup artist and just yesterday i started a blog about my life and the journey i am taking through it all.
You mean something to millions of people and thank you somuch for sharing your kindness and joy with te world. You truly are a gift from GOD and I wish you all the best in you future.

Basically goes along perfectly w what you are writing about. Jealous people DO affect others but not nearly as bad as they affect themselves. Such hurting hearts w no other way to spread their "disease" then to try and harm their own kind. They just don't know any better. Kill em w kindness Kandee. : ) That's the BEST thing to do.

Hi Kandee,
I love reading your blog. You are a bright Ray of sunshine that always makes me smile. I do not often comment but I wanted you to know you have another fan that loves you! Life is too short to be saying negative things about people, my mother always taught me if you have nothing nice to say then do not say anything. Mean people used to bother me but once you get older you hopefully grow to realize that the only opinion that counts is your own about yourself. Keep up the great work and I hope your leg is feeling better every day.

Hi Ms. Kandee, I'm just a new follower but even though i'm new, i can say that youre really are an amazing person and you definitely inspire me and a lot of peeople with this post. I too has a cyberstalker/real-life-hater who's dying to pull me down in the eyes of many. Its been two years since she started and until now she's stil an avid hater.
From the moment she hated me, I never fought back, instead i ignored her to show her that no matter what she does, i wont stoop down to her level.
So to you, to me, and to all of us who have haters in real and cyber life, let's just pray for the souls of our haters--that someday, may they find some peace of mind so they'll be able stop hurting and ruining other people's lives! - June 18, 2010 at 11:36 AM

The parable of the frog
A Lesson for life
There was a group of frogs ...
... who wanted to compete.
Wanted to climb a very high tower.
Many spectators gathered to watch the competition and to encourage the frogs.
Competition has begun ...
But ..
None of the spectators could not believe that a frog can climb the tower's top will succeed.
He would say things like:
"Oh, but tiring!
They'll never get up! "
"Do not be achieved, the tower is too high!"
The frogs began lemaradozni ...
... Except for a single eagerly climbed up ...
The audience shouted:
"It's too tiring! Nobody's going to get up! "
A growing number of frog thought to himself, and turned back ... ... Just the one, he proceeded steadily ...
I do not want to give up!
Finally, every one gave it to a frog, except his great ambition and perseverance alone reached the peak of the tower!
Then, the other frogs and the viewers wanted to know how he succeeded in what we all believed to be impossible.
One side went to the frog and asked how had the power to feljusson to the top.
Then it turned out that ...
The winning frog was deaf!
The lesson?
Never listen to people who are always negative and pessimistic ...
... Because they are abducting the best hopes and desires that can not hordozol your soul!
Always think of the words strength,
because it affects everything you hear or read your works!
Stay ...
And most
Be just dumb if someone says that you can not achieve your dreams!
Think about this:
Whatever you succeed if you really want!
Send this message to all those who are dear to me.
They are also encouraged you!

i cannot believe someone could even hate on you kandee. you're so inspiring. after viewing your videos and reading your blogs you have made me into a much more kind person. i used to criticize a lot of people for their choices. i didn't think it was necessarily a bad thing, i thought of it more as i was opening up their eyes. but after a few people got hurt i took a step back and reexamined myself. it's much easier to give love than to spread hate. thanks for opening MY eyes kandee!

Hi Kandee -- thanks for this blog! I'm a beauty blogger and I've been wanting to start a YouTube channel for a while now, but then sometimes I tell myself it's not worth it if I'm going to get bombarded with hate from people who don't even know me! Of course, then I read stuff like this and realize I shouldn't let other people stop me due to the exact same logic -- they don't even know me!
Love your videos and appreciate all that you do for the YT/beauty community! - June 18, 2010 at 1:50 PM

Hi Kandee
Everything you just said is so true. You get haters regardless if you are online or not its just to a bigger degree when you have a greater audience. You are a great person. You make me laugh with your silly but very informational videos. HATERS it's like this comedian says "if you have three haters try to get seven by the end of summer" -Katt Williams. Hilarious. You need haters cause they make you who you are. Meaning they give you all that fame and attention, they make you important. Keep doing what you do cause I TOTALLY love it. P.s. U R So Inspirational and Awesome. Its cause of you that I began my channel on YouTube, Love Cari

People who hate on others are unhappy with themselves, it's really sad :( There were two kids that made fun of me in middle school, and I ended up being home schooled because of it, and both of them ended up committing suicide. :( it's sad that they felt so unloved...I wouldn't call haters pathetic, I would call them broken. I pray that anyone who is so sad with themselves can be shown how much God loves them <3

Hello Kandee,
My name is Ingrida, I am one of your fans you could say, I've started to watch your videos some time ago for advices and tips about make up, but the more I watched your videos the more interested and fascinated by you I got, not because of your tips (witch are great), but because of who you are.
I always get fascinated by people who get though some harsh stuff in their lives. People who found the will in themselves to overcome their challenges in life always gains strength and wisdom. The fact that you decided to share with yours is really brave and inspiring. In my opinion you are the kind of person that others can look up to. You are capable of really great things. Whenever I get across with your blog, what you write there always makes me a little happier that there are people who believes in people goodness and that are capable to bring love and inspiration just by being themselves.
There are so many people who can't even make a simple conversation without acting and manipulating others, I really wish for you to always be true to yourself. Always believe in what you are doing if it brings happiness to you and others.
Thanks for every single word of inspiration and for all the make up tips, I wouldn't have learned it anywhere else hahaha
Sincerely, your friend Ingrida :) - June 18, 2010 at 3:52 PM

Good for you. People that have nothing nice to say just want to drag people down to the same dumpy depths they've lowered themselves to. They lack class, self-confidence, and self-esteem.

I remember when I first found you on youtube (it has been a while now), and I thought, not only were you a fantastic artist but a true giver, by sharing with the rest of the world your knowledge. I was just getting started then as a beauty consultant, and thanks to your teaching and inspiration I am today a successful makeup artist. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you do! Obviously haters have nothing to share or teach...they are just critics, and let's be honest who did ever erect a statue to a critic? Karma is a thing no one should mess around with!!!
For all you did for me may the good Lord bless you and your family many times over!
with immense gratitude and love,
your dear fan

Dear Kandee!
I read your blog regularly, but unfortunately I do not know English, therefore, refer to the help of Google translator.
As I read the last bejegyzésedet, I stabbed it, how many of the envious, malicious ember.Hát Unfortunately, this was a very commonly experienced in Hungary within.
In this connection I wrote to you last night at the "Optimism frogs"'s translation.
I do not know whether to intelligently turned down, but the point is that, unfortunately, those people who are envious of you, it was made, because the trail can not be achieved!
You who inspirálsz others cheer you taking the life of others, and you take something, it's a wonderfully good thing.
Do not listen to anyone but your own heart!
Very good-hearted man, and therefore, these people did not even deserve to be nervous about them!
Keep it up!

I know how it is when you have haters. I am in highschool now, and I had to go through a hard time. People bullied me since I went to highschool. When I went to another school it didn't get better. Then I started to ignore them. And guess what, it helped! I pretended that I didn't care about what they did of what they say, but I did. When they said something mean, I rolled my eyes and walked away. They don't bully me anymore. The same thing goes for haters. They think they know you, but they don't. Haters have no life. They seriously think that they can say anything, wether its true or not. You just have to ignore them. They are trying to get your attention but you have to try to don't care. And if they say something mean, just think; whatever and go on. Don't pay attention to them because that is where they are looking for.
(I'm sorry about my English, I live in the Netherlands so my English is not really good :$). By the way, I love your blog! :)

There is nothing more beautiful than a sleeping baby, especially for parents who are often overtired themselves. By following a few simple tips, you can create a safer sleeping environment for your baby.
The Hard Facts
Unintentional suffocation is the leading cause of injury-related death among children under 1 year of age. Nearly three-quarters of suffocation deaths among infants are from accidental suffocation or strangulation in bed.
Top Safety Tips
- Because most infant suffocation occurs in the sleeping environment, babies should always sleep in a safe crib, bassinet or pack-n-play.
- Lay your baby on his or her back for every sleep.
- We know that stuffed animals, bumpers and all those cute accessories make a baby's crib seem warm and cozy. Unfortunately, they can often do more harm than good. Soft bedding can block a baby's airway during sleep. A firm mattress covered with a tight-fitting crib sheet is all you need to make your baby sleep like a baby.
- Room-sharing is a safer option than having your baby sleep in bed with you. Place your baby's crib, play yard or bassinet in your room for more convenient feeding and close contact.
- Remember to always return your baby to his or her own crib when you're ready to go back to sleep. This is tough sometimes because parents are often more tired than the babies, but it is much safer.

Supreme Court takes on privacy in digital age
WASHINGTON (AP) — Two Supreme Court cases about police searches of cellphones without warrants present vastly different views of the ubiquitous device.
Is it a critical tool for a criminal or is it an American's virtual home?
How the justices answer that question could determine the outcome of the cases being argued Tuesday. A drug dealer and a gang member want the court to rule that the searches of their cellphones after their arrest violated their right to privacy in the digital age.
The Obama administration and California, defending the searches, say cellphones are no different from anything else a person may be carrying when arrested. Police may search those items without a warrant under a line of high court cases reaching back 40 years.
What's more, said Donald Verrilli Jr., the administration's top Supreme Court lawyer, "Cellphones are now critical tools in the commission of crimes."
The cases come to the Supreme Court amid separate legal challenges to the massive warrantless collection of telephone records by the National Security Agency and the government's use of technology to track Americans' movements.
Librarians, the news media, defense lawyers and civil liberties groups on the right and left are trying to convince the justices that they should take a broad view of the privacy issues raised when police have unimpeded access to increasingly powerful devices that may contain a wealth of personal data: emails and phone numbers, photographs, information about purchases and political affiliations, books and a gateway to even more material online.
"Cellphones and other portable electronic devices are, in effect, our new homes," the American Civil Liberties Union said in a court filing that urged the court to apply the same tough standards to cellphone searches that judges have historically applied to police intrusions into a home.
Under the Constitution's Fourth Amendment, police generally need a warrant before they can conduct a search. The warrant itself must be based on "probable cause," evidence that a crime has been committed.
But in the early 1970s, the Supreme Court carved out exceptions for officers dealing with people they have arrested. The court was trying to set clear rules that allowed police to look for concealed weapons and prevent the destruction of evidence. Briefcases, wallets, purses and crumpled cigarette packs all are fair game if they are being carried by a suspect or within the person's immediate control.
Car searches pose a somewhat different issue. In 2009, in the case of a suspect handcuffed and placed in the back seat of a police cruiser, the court said police may search a car only if the arrestee "is within reaching distance of the passenger compartment" or if police believe the car contains evidence relevant to the crime for which the person had been arrested.
The Supreme Court is expected to resolve growing division in state and federal courts over whether cellphones deserve special protection.
More than 90 percent of Americans own at least one cellphone, the Pew Research Center says, and the majority of those are smartphones — essentially increasingly powerful computers that are also telephones.
In the two Supreme Court cases being argued Tuesday, one defendant carried a smartphone and the other an older and less advanced flip phone.
In San Diego, police found indications of gang membership when they looked through defendant David Leon Riley's Samsung smartphone. Prosecutors used video and photographs found on the smartphone to persuade a jury to convict Riley of attempted murder and other charges. California courts rejected Riley's efforts to throw out the evidence and upheld the convictions.
Smartphones also have the ability to connect to the Internet, but the administration said in its brief that it is not arguing for the authority to conduct a warrantless Internet-based search using an arrestee's device.
In Boston, a federal appeals court ruled that police must have a warrant before searching arrestees' cellphones. Police arrested Brima Wurie on suspicion of selling crack cocaine, checked the call log on his flip phone and used that information to determine where he lived. When they searched Wurie's home, armed with a warrant, they found crack, marijuana, a gun and ammunition. The evidence was enough to produce a conviction and a prison term of more than 20 years.
The appeals court ruled for Wurie, but left in place a drug conviction for selling cocaine near a school that did not depend on the tainted evidence. That conviction also carried a 20-year sentence. The administration appealed the court ruling because it wants to preserve the warrantless searches following arrest.
The differences between the two cases could give the court room to craft narrow rulings that apply essentially only to the circumstances of those situations.
The justices should act cautiously because the technology is changing rapidly, California Attorney General Kamala Harris said in her court filing.
Harris invoked Justice Samuel Alito's earlier writing that elected lawmakers are better suited than are judges to write new rules to deal with technological innovation.
On the other side of the California case, Stanford law professor Jeffrey Fisher, representing Riley, cited FBI statistics showing 12 million people were arrested in 2012. In California and elsewhere, he said, those arrests can be for such minor crimes as "jaywalking, littering or riding a bicycle the wrong direction on a residential street."
It shouldn't be the case, Fisher said, that each time police make such an arrest, they can rummage through the cellphone without first getting a judge to agree to issue a warrant.
The cases are Riley v. California, 13-132, and U.S. v. Wurie, 13-212.

Ever since I started baking Cookies,I've been looking for that perfect Coconut cookie recipe,which tastes like real coconut and not the coconut flavoured types.I have tried incorporating dessicated coconut in my basic cookie recipe but the flavour got lost somewhere in between.It never ever struck me that I should add real coconut if I need the real flavour..duh!!
I had some grated coconut in abundance sitting pretty in the refrigerator for some time and I was looking for recipes with which I could finish the whole batch.Initially thought of making Coconut Barfi,something which I learnt to make at a very young age and for the same reason,a very fool proof recipe.But then I remembered this recipe which I had seen at Anushruti's blog.Had bookmarked this ages ago.
Kept out the butter and measured out rest of the ingredients and since I had the coconut grated and ready,it got done in a jiffy and was a breeze to make.I wanted it to be fat and round,since didn't flatten it.The resulting cookie was a mix between looks of a Nankhatai and tastes of Coconut barfi,yes-surprisingly!!
Loved the coconut burst in each and every bite!!
Coconut Cookies
Recipe adapted from Divine Taste
Flour - 100 gms
Baking powder - 1/4 tsp
Butter - 50 gms
Sugar - 50 gms [I used powdered sugar]
Grated Coconut - 50 gms
Cardamom Powder - a pinch
[The original recipe uses Vanilla essence but I think Coconut and Cardamom are a match made in heaven..so!!]
Milk - 2 tbsp
[I had some condensed milk left over,so I used 1 tbsp of that]
Make small balls of the dough and place 1' inch apart on a greased baking tray.
Bake for 22-24 minutes.
Makes 15 cookies.

Tax saving opportunities often need to be considered prior to the year end of the company or prior to the tax year end of the individuals who are shareholders or directors of the company.
Due to the ever changing tax legislation and commercial factors affecting your company, it is advisable to carry out an annual review of your company's tax position. Pre-year end tax planning is important as the current year's results can normally be predicted with some accuracy and time still exists to carry out any appropriate action.
We outline below some of the areas where advance planning may produce tax savings. For further advice please do not hesitate to contact us.
Corporation tax
Advancing expenditure
Expenditure incurred before the company's accounts year end may reduce the current year's tax liability.
In situations where expenditure is planned for early in the next accounting year, the decision to bring forward this expenditure by just a few weeks can advance the related tax relief by a full 12 months.
Examples of the type of expenditure to consider bringing forward include:
building repairs and redecorating
advertising and marketing campaigns
redundancy and closure costs.
Note that payments into company pension schemes are only allowable for tax purposes when the payments are actually made as opposed to when they are charged in the company's accounts.
Capital allowances
Consideration should also be given to the timing of capital expenditure on which capital allowances are available to obtain the optimum reliefs.
Single companies irrespective of size are able to claim an Annual Investment Allowance (AIA) which provides 100% relief on expenditure on plant and machinery (excluding cars). The maximum amount of the AIA depends on the date of the accounting period and the date of expenditure. The AIA from 1 January 2019 is £1 million for two years. It will revert to £200,000 from 1 January 2021. Companies with accounting periods which straddle 1 January 2021 will be entitled to calculate a hybrid allowance using the two rates. Complex rules may apply to the straddle period AIA calculation.
Where purchases exceed the AIA, a writing down allowance (WDA) is due on any excess in the same period.
Groups of companies have to share the allowance. Expenditure on qualifying plant and machinery in excess of the AIA is eligible for writing down allowance (WDA) of 18%. Where the capital expenditure is incurred on integral features the WDA is 6%.
Limited allowances are also available for investments in certain types of building.
Trading losses
Companies incurring trading losses have three main options to consider in utilising these losses:
they can be set against any other income (for example bank interest) or capital gains arising in the current year
they can be carried back for up to one year and set against total profits
they can be carried forward and set against profits arising from different types of income in future years.
There is a restriction on the use of carry forward losses where a company's or group's losses are in excess of £5 million. Profits cannot be reduced by more than 50% by brought forward losses. Losses that have arisen at any time are subject to these restrictions.
Extracting profits
Directors/shareholders of limited companies may wish to consider extracting profits in the form of dividends rather than as increased salaries or bonus payments. This can lead to substantial savings in national insurance contributions (NICs).
Note however that company profits extracted as a dividend remain chargeable to corporation tax at a minimum of 19%.
From the company's point of view, timing of payment is not critical, but from the individual shareholder's perspective, timing can be an important issue. A dividend payment in excess of the Dividend Allowance which is delayed until after the tax year ending on 5 April may give the shareholder an extra year to pay any further tax due. The Dividend Allowance is £2,000 for 2020/21.
The deferral of tax liabilities on the shareholder will be dependent on a number of factors. Please contact us for detailed advice.
Loans to directors and shareholders
If a 'close' company (broadly, one controlled by its directors or by five or fewer shareholders) makes a loan to a shareholder, this can give rise to a tax liability for the company.
If the loan is not settled within nine months of the end of the accounting period, the company is required to make a payment equal to 32.5% of the loan to HMRC. The money is not repaid to the company until nine months after the end of the accounting period in which the loan is repaid by the shareholder.
A loan to a director may also give rise to a tax liability for the director on the benefit of a loan provided at less than the market rate of interest.
Rates of tax
The main rate of corporation tax is 19%. The rate for the Financial Year beginning on 1 April 2020 was due to fall to 17% but in the 2019 Budget the Chancellor kept the rate at 19%.
Paying Corporation Tax
Under the self-assessment regime most companies must pay their tax liabilities nine months and one day after the year end.
Corporation tax returns must be submitted within twelve months of the year end and are required to be submitted electronically. In cases of delay or inaccuracies, interest and penalties will be charged
Capital Gains
Companies are chargeable to corporation tax on their capital gains less allowable capital losses. The rules that potentially limit the use of brought forward trading losses has been extended to include brought forward capital losses. The changes will have effect where carried forward capital losses are used to offset chargeable gains accruing from 1 April 2020.
Planning of disposals
Consideration should be given to the timing of any chargeable disposals to minimise the tax liability. This could be achieved (depending on the circumstances) by accelerating or delaying sales and the availability of losses or the feasibility of rollover relief (see below) should also be considered.
Purchase of new assets
It may be possible to avoid a capital gain being charged to tax if the sale proceeds are reinvested in a replacement asset.
The replacement asset must be acquired in the four year period beginning one year before the disposal, and only certain trading tangible assets qualify for relief.

Uppåkra - Swedish Potato Cookies
From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...There are certain foods that trigger memory and take from it the sights and sounds and smells of childhood and them drop them in the moment we call now. They are called comfort foods for a reason and one of my favorites is Uppåkra, or Swedish potato cookies. These are shatteringly crisp gems that are made with butter, potato starch and very little else. They have brown edges and, when properly made, will literally melt in your mouth. The potato starch gives them a slightly sandy texture that I find irresistible. I don't make them often because self-disciple eludes me and I can't limit myself to eating just one or two. I learned to make these in the Swedish kitchen of my childhood. While my teacher was patient in the extreme, the truth is this cookie is very simple to make. The challenge comes with shaping them and over the years I've changed the way I do it. While the recipe I am sharing today uses what I call a roll and press technique, I find it much easier to form this butter rich dough into a cylinder that can be cut to the desired thickness once it is chilled. A quarter of an inch is just about right. This is an adult cookie that is perfect with afternoon coffee or tea. It's not particularly pretty to look at, but it is truly delicious. While there are scores of recipes for Uppåkra, I hope you'll give this one a try. It's my favorite and makes cookies that will make your socks go up and down.
Uppåkra (Swedish Butter Cookies)...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite courtesy of Mrs. P
1 cup butter, softened
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1 cup potato starch
1 cup flour
1) Cream together butter and sugar in a mixer or with a pastry blender. Beat in salt, egg and vanilla and almond extract. Sift together flour and potato starch, then add slowly to butter mixture and beat until combined. Chill dough for about an hour.
2) Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
3) Roll into small balls and place on parchment lined cookie sheets. Press each ball gently with bottom of a glass to flatten to a thickness of 1/4-inch . Place 1 inch apart on prepared pans. Bake for about 10 minutes or until edges of cookies are brown. Yield: 36 cookies.

LOve these and can't wait to try the potato starch in a cookie dough, since the only time I have used potato in sweet is with my grandmother's fritters.

Oh, yum!! I am going to send this recipe to my Swedish-American friends. I have never really used potato starch/flour before for baking. Must try!

This looks and sounds like a cookie I've had in Denmark - just the thought of it has me wishing for one.

Oh my gosh, Mary, I didn't even need a picture to know what these wondrous cookies you described taste like. I'm guessing heaven. I just happened to make a mental note that my local store had started to stock potato starch -- I must have been psychic.

These cookies, as simple a they look, looks pretty good. I never use potato starch but I have used tapioca starch in a dough. The result was awesome!

These look simply delicious and I lover that there is a hint of almond with the almond extract :)

These look lovely. One of my favorite childhood cookies is made with corn starch, but has a completely different texture. Yay for adult cookies!

Hi there! Thanks for coming by my blog. This is a really interesting recipe. Where do you get potato starch? Or is that something you make from potatoes yourself? I've never used it before!

Those cookies must be very crumbly and melt-in-mouth delicious!
I think I still have a pack of potato starch in the pantry. This seems a perfect recipe to use them. - September 15, 2011 at 3:20 PM

I spent several years in California surrounded by amazing Swedish cooks who churned out dozens of delicious cookies. I love them all and these look and sound just perfect with a cup of strong coffee. :-)

Ooooooooh, those look delicious. And I've got a vast quantity of potato starch at the moment.
Can someone help a girl out on the proper pronunciation of the name, though? - September 15, 2011 at 9:30 PM

Mary, do you use unsalted butter for this? I see there is added salt in the ingredient list, so I'm assuming you probably use unsalted butter. I wouldn't want to end up making overly salted cookies. I was looking for something different to make this year for Christmas, and this recipe just sounds right!

Carolyn, I used unsalted butter in these cookies. I hope you like them. They magically disappear when I make them for my crew. Have a great weekend. Blessings...Mary

GRANTS PASS, Ore. – Things were quiet at a convenience store in Southern Oregon when a tattooed man came in and started dousing himself with Hawaiian Punch Slurpees.
The Grants Pass Daily Courier (http://bit.ly/1ovah5i ) reports the man had suffered burns and was being chased by two others Tuesday afternoon when he ran into the 7-Eleven store in downtown Grants Pass.
Store clerk Charlie Bentley says he didn't know what was going on, but he and another employee kept the two pursuers outside while the man filled his shirt from the Slurpee machine and rubbed the icy concoction on his skin.
Police say they traced the disturbance back to a residence a few blocks away, where a man and a woman were burned with hot oil during a dispute between neighbors. They were not identified.

Clayton Kershaw (2-2, 3.00) vs. Chris Volstad (1-1, 6.60).
After the revolting end to yesterday's game, I'm going to volunteer this: We're going to win today's game. It may sound like a frivolous claim, but we've got our ace and their pitcher has a career 4.91 ERA against us. Sure, that's not volumes of evidence, but I'm also hoping the baseball gods will feel benevolent towards us today and take the edge off yesterday's volatile loss.
A win today will also involve good hitting. Wouldn't it be lovely if our offensive game evolved from singles and sacrifices to a megavolt, volcanic power game? Andre Ethier, with his 22-game hitting streak, and Matt Kemp, disciplined under his own volition, are a good place to start. My fan philosophy isn't convoluted; it just revolves around this simple thought: All you need is vole.
