There have been quite a few of you sliding into my DM’s asking for a creative community and like I said in my last video - you know me better than I know myself! You were onto it the whole time and I am so excited to finally be able to share it with you all. Again I know that this is different but your girl can’t pop out makeover after makeover - it just doesn’t jive with my reality and wanting to live my life as well. I thought this was the perfect blend and balance to go alongside the announcement of www.BAIB.space
Thank you for all your continued love and support!

My dermatologist's recommended their line of anti-bacterial soap, their line of toner with a Cipro pill dropped into a recommended amber glass bottle, SPF that I apply three times throughout the days and at night I use their anti-wrinkle lotion. I also get chemical peels once a month to help with my heat rash that I get fairly often.

Happy Wednesday everyone! Gearing up for a heavy content week so decided to slow down and share something I am extremely proud of. A lot of you slide into my DM's or share with me by tagging me throughout your stories but those disappear! I love when my humans connect and continue to share their passions, projects, tips and tricks so I created a space for my Living to DIY community to do that ALL THE TIME over on www.baib.space
Vjj
Yeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!
Not gonna lie... When I saw the beginning of your video, I thought it was a commercial. 🤣
I love the BAIB space idea. Would it be appropriate for me to submit my Etsy shop on BAIB? I've been unemployed since March due to Covid and it's allowed me the opportunity to really focus my attention on my passion project. I would really appreciate the exposure but I'd don't wanna overstep
Have you tried the bullet journal method to stay organized? I think it might be perfect for you since you have so many to do lists and you can also use it as a writing journal. You should def check it out!
I love, love, love the book "Women who Dance with Wolves'.😍😍😍 I highly recommend it!!!
Never heard of it but I love women who run with the wolves
you do more in a day than i do in a week thanks for the motivation!!!!
Is she a virgo??!!!
-beautiful
I have never seen your hair down like this...you are so Beautiful, both inside and out.
I want to be in this community of women . I run my own business . I do Urban Permaculture in New Mexico , love Michaela Maestas
Girl you are goals! Absolutely love your work. If you don't mind me asking how tall are you and how much do you weigh?
You should do a How you schedule your day video!
I loved this video! You should definitely consider more vlog style content in the future. I'd definitely watch ☺️
Thanks love xx.
Rachel we don't normally see a lot of your face in your normal videos but, you are truly beautiful. I love your outlook on life it is so inspirational x
I really appreciate that.
Little late to the comment section, and you probably won't remember my comment from months ago but when you made your first video post-breakup, I commented that I was going through one too. I've loved seeing you grow and learn more about yourself the last few months; I've been doing the same. I was so broken and lost and watching you progress over time helped my journey. So much love to you and I'm so excited to see what the future has in store for both of us
Thank you!
Half a mil subscribers and she is so interactive with her community in the comments. Girl. How do you do it? You’re amazing.
You guys make me me! I have to interact because I wouldn't be where I am without you. I may not have ALL the views or millions of likes being trendy but what I do have is REAL DOWN ASS COMMUNITY!
Wait. What’s happening?! Why are you living in someone’s garage?!
You’re definitely glowing here!
I LOVE this vid you should vlog more!
Peep that shmoxd glass on the desk 😎
You are so beautiful
Lovvvve this
Appreciate that xx.
I love your content no matter what 🥰
You are absolutely beautiful girl.
Thank you Karen xx.
My goodness! Love Grey's Anatomy too!!! ☺️ Thank you Lovely for your time! ❤️ Maddy
Hey, Rachel. Thanks for this! Your work ethic and self-care ethic explain so much of your material success and personal authenticity. As one of your more 'mature' fans and a BAIB who's seen some things I encourage you to stay the course. It is worth it, and so are you!
Thank you!
Rachel with her hair up in every video : inspiring, badass, beautiful, independent, strong. Rachel with her hair down in this video : GODDESS.
Awe thank you xx.
We just got a puppy who wakes us up at 6:15 on the dot every morning, it’s made it so hard to enjoy mornings. I need to come up with a routine I enjoy to start my day on a high. I’m a preschool teacher and I don’t absolutely love my job so getting up is a struggle.
Wow you’ve never looked stronger or more beautiful than you do at this stage in your life, growth and positivity look great on you 😍😍😍
Wow thank you!
Its crazy how much content you have posted since starting your channel. It shows that if you put in the work, it pays off. Congrats on all your success!!!
Wow thank you!
Love this video! What kind of pillows do you have?! They look so fluffy, yet firm.
From Home Goods.
YOUR GLASSES IN THE BEGINNING OF THE VIDEO PLEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASE. OMG they look gorgeous and you look gorgeous in them ❤❤
Thank you!
Holy moly Rach! You are gorgeous!!!!
Wow thank you!
So happy to see you do a vlog type video! Also, glad that you are doing well and stoked for all your new projects. 😁
Thanks love xx.
Rachel!! The concept of BAIB is so beautiful and so kind. I can’t wait to join!
Yay! That makes me so happy.
Where did you get the weekly to-do pad?
Home goods
Not that it is at all important but just bc you mentioned it, pronounced like ‘arc-eh-type’ 🤗. Anyways! So excited for your new venture and think your morning sounds fantastic. Grounding and peaceful, yas more of that for everyone pls! 🙌🏽♥️
Love love love the BAIB project 🥰
Thank you!
What a narcissistic generation
you are literally GLOWING!! this is so exciting, congrats girl p.s. how do you get your teeth so dang white??? lol
Loved the vlog. The new bedroom space and mirror looked great in the background
I got my boyfriend into greys anatomy and station 19 only cause I selfishly wanted to rewatch it for the fourth time ! 🤭🤫😂
So proud of you Rachel! :)
You’re such a BAIB. Women who run with wolves STAYS IN MY PURSE. My mom passed on her copy to me when I was 16!
Omg I love cali with the balloon!!! I needed that dog!!!!! Thanks for being so beautiful and inspiration to us all!! Love u girl!!!!
I love the website idea and I'm excited to see what comes from it!
Yessss let’s go Baib I can wait to add something! ....brain curating 🤓🧐lol
To write this book took more then twenty years for the author, therefore it is normal to read it slow. You are good reader ;) This is slow reading book. It took me a year, though normally I finish any book in two-three days of constant or week-two of occasional reading ;)
I really loved this video, I got to know you better and I'm more in love with Cali! ♥ Thanks for showing this side of you
Hi there! Newish follower here, I’m not super handy, but watching your videos, shows me how possible it is for get more willing to dive into DIY projects. Love your energy and positive outlook on life! Keep sharing and creating; you are a light during these dark times. Ps: Cali is the cutest! Love her!
Welcome aboard! I hope you love xx.
Looooooooove your new youuuuu
SAME
Really well edited considering it's your first one. Loved how you kept chopping and changing to keep the video fresh and interesting the whole way through
That makes me happy xx. Thanks for watching!
What do you think with woman who run with the wolves? I read it myself and at the end just gave up - felt like I forced myself to read this entire book
I think you should read whatever speaks to you - that is why I broke it down in chunks each day to make it digestible like I said. I am in love with it!
Girl u should do more daily vlog! I'm waiting. Xx
Working on it!
Where is your daughter? Or don’t you have a daughter
Nope like I've always said - she was my step daughter.
I just want to say thank you ! This is amazing
Glad you like it!
You're not only a bad ass and inspiration but you're one of the most strikingly beautiful person I've ever seen, for real. Keep glowin
Wow thanks Shelby!
You look like Eva Mendes.
Thank you!
How about launching your own tool line...get into cool colors, smaller hand grips, tool kits, sets, and belts...
You know I've BEEN working on that xx one day!
Do you sing? I'm thinking you might have a nice voice. Your speaking voice is the best though. ☺
@Living to DIY with Rachel Metz 🤣🤣🤣
Only in the shower.
No one: Me: * the baby with the balloon* 😭
The best part of the video xx.
Soooo happy and excited!!!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽❤️
Me too!
OMG! Another weirdo like myself who rewatches Grey's from Season 1 to whatever's current!! I'm on my 5th go-round.
IT IS THE BEST SHOW! CALL BAILEY!
Can you post a link to where to buy the book women’s who run with the wolves, and you daily diary? Do you have an Amazon store? Oh! And old like to know also where to buy the hello fresh products also.
Linked below xx.
Love your hair and dress ❤️ You look stunning, Rachel 😍
Thank you so much!! You're the best xx.
Absolutely LOVE all the work you do... It has honestly inspired me to create/ diy small stuff on my own so ty!
I'm so glad!
Racheal thank you so much!!! Goes to shows how creative you are!! This is the best 💡 idea! Thank you for always taking the time to read and reply to all of our comments and now giving us a platform where we can share with others. Goes to show how amazing you really are. Keep going & trust that your dreams will come true. Keep being amazing!! Thank you
ALWAYS! You guys make me me!
Yes we love lists! 🙌🏽 I thought I was the only weirdo for having 3+ copies of the same list everywhere 😂
I have to!
I'm a little bit confused about BAIB. It seems interesting but I don't necessarily understand it. Do 'we' submit posts like if it were our own blog? What kind of posts are you looking for? etc.
You nailed it on the head - any and everything. If you read the site, goes into full detail xx.
I love this vlog format! I'd be 100% down for this to be a regular thing!
Good to know!
"girly tomboy" is how I'd describe her. I wish everyone loved their dog as much as she does - the world would be a much better place.
She's my baby!
❤
Didn't you have a daughter? Where is she?
@Living to DIY with Rachel Metz oh, thanks for answering! :)
Step daughter - Paul has her!
... your eyebrows are from "Christmas vacation" Clark"s daughter 🤭🤗🤗
@Living to DIY with Rachel Metz o, you look beautiful in any situation.... your eyebrows reminder me the beginning of a movie. .... you deserve all the good in life 🤗🤗
Is that good or bad?

Loved seeing a vlog from you❤❤
Trying something new.
Glad to know I'm not the only list person!!
🖤
Girl you blessed us with this video. We get to see your beautiful face! Such a badass. Beauty, brains, and skilled at anything you put your mind to!
I appreciate that.
Really loved seeing this side of you.. you because more relatable 😍
🖤
When a woman says she has amazing news to share, I always immediately think she’s pregnant. I obviously have a one track mind 🙄
Women can have a ton of other great news.
Sunglasses is 🔥 I love it!! By the way I got my wall circumference mirror. Bought one at Marshall’s for $12 and it’s super cute! My project is not finished yet. Can’t wait to show you on my Instagram. I read book women who run with the wolves so many years ago. Omg I love Cali so much. Her zoooomies after her bath so cute!! Such a sweet sweet baby girl ❤️❤️❤️
Hello dear Rachel, Your table decor, your hair, your clothes, everything is beautiful
@Living to DIY with Rachel Metz 💞
Thank you xx.
Why is no one talking about Cali and the balloon???? Cutest thing ever.
Literally paused the video and rewinded just to preface it and show my husband 🤣
Best part of the video.
Love to you and all the best for the new venture! P.s. your features do remind me of Hilary Swank 😊
Thank you xx.
we love you beautiful!
Thank you xx.
Hello Rachel, I am following you since quite a long time on your channel and Instagram, and this vlog showed me that you made it up since your breakup 👍 makes me happy to see that you are doing great and that you took that breakup to get to the person who you are feeling better now. I wish you all the best for the future 😘
Thank you!
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼I’m here for it! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Geez girl, you’re such a powerhouse! I would LOVE to see more vlogs from you. Thanks for reminding me you can choose how you feel
Awe thank you!
Thank you for sharing more of you! Let's do this together, k? 🥺 And did you say podcast? 👀
Yes I did!
Just wanted to say you look especially pretty in that scene with the black top. You are glowing ✨
Thank you xx.
Yoooo! I own that book too! It's so amazing! :D
It really is!
You took your braces off??
Never had them. Have Invisalign.
don’t worry about looking a “hot mess” in front of us! we love someone who keeps it real on every front 🙌🏼
🖤
‘good nose whistle, what?’
Hi, very interesting video. My mum used to wake up at night and could do housework/catch up on stuff she hadn't got done during the day, but forgot the rest of us had to be up at 6am to get ready for work! You work so hard and to great floorless workmanship( that word needs to be changed,sorry) that give others
Pressed wrong button. ...that give others inspiration to know that they can do stuff for themselves. Oh and girl your skin routine is great and obviously works for you so keep doing what your doing.😍😍😍
Love your doggy 🐕 and how much you love her and look after her. I enjoy your DIYs - especially your bedroom room makeover - the wood is beautiful.
Thank you!
Yasss👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Love you girly!! You are so inspiring and full of life, thank you for always shining.
Thanks for being so supportive xx.
Goodness friend!!! You are absolutely gorgeous 😍!!!!!
I appreciate that.
You look too gorgeous with your hair down. Hi from Alaska!
Thank you Cynthia!
Your fucking gorgeous
Why thank you xx.
It's very refreshing to see you do a sit down talk like this. Thank you for sharing this video about yourself and although you are only human and going through a lot right now, you are such a strong beautiful woman and you are thriving! You are such an inspiration and we are all so proud of you.
Thank you xx.
