caleey from Dallas, TX says, I don't know what to think about this. She has an extremely bad shopping addiction, I don't know how nobody else sees it! Those boots still had the tags on.... like seriously, what a waste. Can we please get somebody who actually has a passion for fashion, not for "shopping." Aside from that she's a great girl, not my favorite guru. December 29th, 2011 at 2:10 PM

Luisa from Dallas, TX says, Five years in the Army? I don't think so. That would take it from 2006 to 2011. You can't serve in the Army when pregnant. So, Izek was delivered by a stork? December 29th, 2011 at 2:46 PM
Erica from ny, NY says, I have been watching her videos for over a year and I think she is such a fashionable young lady! She has a lot of personality and I like so many of the items she chooses. This was fun to watch!! December 29th, 2011 at 2:52 PM

tiffany from ft hood, TX says, Yes you CAN serve in the army while pregnant but she wasnt even active duty while she was. She was on reserve for the last year or two of her contract so please get your facts straight before you criticize her. December 29th, 2011 at 5:42 PM

lisa from n.y, NY says, A LINE MEDIA December 29th, 2011 at 9:17 PM
Angel from wilmington, CA says, I have mixed feelings over this video. I mean i watch some of her youtube videos and yes, she has come a very long way. Seen her style transformed. But from all the things she mention she does, I did not hear a thing bout how sometimes she spends time with her 11 month old son where she said so herself still requires soooo much attention. Making a video for 6 hrs? I appreciate the videos and posts she makes but I hope she still has her priorities straight with all these things she wants to do for viewers. Its a good thing to have a very helpful and supportive husband but having time as a mom to spend with your child is another story. Just my very honest opinion here. December 29th, 2011 at 9:52 PM
cici herrera from Patchogue, NY says, I love love love Dulce she is almost perfect to me i check her website dulcecandy.com everyday to see if she has something new i love her family nd think she is a great example to follow and i love her more because she is a brilliant latina Goooo Candy ;) u have a ot of fans that love u and one day i wish i could meet u in person Xoxo December 29th, 2011 at 11:25 PM

JA says, I'm so happy that you made your dreams a reality. You are a good motivation for all of us. December 30th, 2011 at 7:34 AM
Lissa from dallas, TX says, @LUISA no dumbass she served in the military for 5 years.!!! 3 years active and 2 inactive! You can have as many children as you want active and inactive duty. that shows how smart you are talking on a topic you know nothing about yes she was probably just finishing her 2 year obligation as an inactive duty member that doesnt require much of anything. December 30th, 2011 at 9:33 AM

Margie from CA says, Not my favorite guru. I think jlovesmac is 100x better December 30th, 2011 at 11:36 AM
kelly from new york, NY says, @ANGEL I TOTALLY AGREE WITH WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT DULCE SETTING HER PRIORITIES STRAIGHT.....I AM ALSO A YOUNG MOTHER AND I DEDICATE ALOT OF TIME TO MY BABY....AND I STILL WORK ....BUT ITS TRULY SAD TO SEE HOW SHE PUTS ALL OF HER TIME ON BLOGGING AND MAKEUP.THAT ONLY SHOWS HOW SUPERFICIAL AND MATERIALISTIC SHE IS SHE REALLY WAS NEVER READY FOR BEING A MOTHER AND IT SEEMS LIKE SHE THOUGHT HAVING A BABY WAS LIKE HAVING A DOG..... December 30th, 2011 at 4:28 PM
Brenda from Los Angeles, CA says, I love Dulce but that closet is a huge disorganized mess. The clothes looks extremely packed. Its like she's hoarding. She could get rid of at least one rack of those that she absolutely doesn't use to make her closet look more appealing again. Unless she can get a bigger room, she should downsize. December 30th, 2011 at 6:40 PM
chantelle from new york, NY says, for you to still have tags on your shoes is ridiculous.....you are such a hoarder and materialistic "women"I FEEL SORRY FOR YOUR KID AND YOUR HUSBAND.YOU DONT DEDICATE TIME TO THEM AT ALL AND YOU WILL REGRET IT ALL LATER.you said your husband is such a good husband for taking care of your kid well he has no choice you probobly manipulate him and YOUR GUY GETS SHOVED AROUND LIKE AN IDIOT....dulce you should reallly start changing you priorities cuz u aint amother thats for sure,....

V from Los Angeles, CA says, People that view this as something entertaining, i can understand, but for someone to look up to and be jealous and inspired about? I don't think so. Someone even said that she deserve a closet full of material things because she served our country. We still have men and women out there continuously serving our country..i bet half of them did not even see their family and loved ones during the holidays. What did they deserve????? This woman clearly do not have her priorities straight and I say that and I could not care less if someone bad mouth me because of my opinion but this is nothing but rubbish in its utmost degree. Our society is definitely screwed. December 30th, 2011 at 9:36 PM
karla from new york, NY says, @V i totally agree with you. December 30th, 2011 at 10:26 PM
MITHCHELLE from new york, NY says, ALL THE BITCHES THAT SAY DULCECANDY IS THEIR INSPIRATION ARE IGNORANT.....THERE ARE MILLION OTHER PEOPLE OUT THERE ESPECIALLY WOMEN WHO HAVE SERVED THE COUNTRY AND THEY DONT GO AROUND BRAGGING ABOUT WHAT THEY HAVE OR WHAT THEY HAVE ACCOMPLISHED NOBODY GIVES A RATS ASS WHAT THIS BITCH DULCE HAS OR WILL HAVE ALL THOSE MATERIAL THINGS ARE STAYING HERE ON EARTH BITCH ITS HER SOUL THATS ROTTEN.....DULCE IS SPOILED ROTTEN....SHE AINT WORTHY OF LOOKING UP TO... December 31st, 2011 at 11:51 AM
kat from fort worth, TX says, what do u mean by saying she doesnt spend time with her baby? because she takes 6 hours to fillm and edit a video why people dont understand is that that is her job she gets paid for doing videos everyone in youtube does. i have a 1 yr old i work 8 hours a day does that mean my priorities are not straight??? December 31st, 2011 at 3:57 PM
Jessica from South Florida, FL says, I think Dulce has come along way from when she first started youtube videos but she has taken this channel and her life to a whole another level. I think she needs to humble up a little bit b/c all she does is brag about alot of things she does on her day to day life. i understand that she wants to share her life w/ everyone but it seems to me that she tends to rub it in ppls face. i dont know if its intentional or she just doesnt realize it. Honestly, in this economy, can anyone really afford christian louboutin's? By her buying those shoes and expensive make up (example Chanel, Dior etc) and showing it off, is making these young girls that look up to her think its okay to buy to these things when everyone is on a budget. if shes going to buy these items then i dont know she should put it in her blog or channel. the whole point of her channel is to make these easier and affordable for everyone but instead shes letting the glitz and glam of popularity get the best of her. Sorry Dulce but its true. Humble up then people wouldnt write harmful things about you. December 31st, 2011 at 4:09 PM
Kate from NC says, I love the closet/office space she has. What I don't love is all the clutter & chaos that goes along with it. She has almost two full bookcases filled with purses, she has shoes doubled up, she has racks overstuffed. It's all just too much. She might be a fashion blogger but she also has a serious shopping problem. If you own something for more than 3-6 months and it still has the tag on it, then clearly it was a waste of money. She may not see it that way but to the rest of the world this space could be on an episode of hoarders. It's clear that she's a person who thrives off having materialistic things. I would think she would have her drawings up on her walls or on her desk but it looks like those pencils have never been used. Her iMac isn't even plugged in. I would have that plugged in and use it everyday. I respect her for serving her country but that has nothing to do with what she's doing now. She went from being in the military to fashion blogging, there are plenty of females in the military who care about their appearence and like having nice things. It doesn't mean they waste every dollar they get on things they never use, wear, or even take the tags off. Dulce is a hoarder. Also I've seen comments on things about her getting money from the military and trust me she would have had to save all of her paychecks in the military to be able to afford some of the things she has. They don't get paid squat. You can look up the army pay chart online. I hope she gets a handle on her shopping addiction. She's also not a bad mother just because she makes & edits videos. I know plenty of mothers who still work full time jobs (and yes since she makes money from YT thats her job) and are amazing mothers. Don't attack her mothering skills. January 1st, 2012 at 4:39 PM
Nicki says, I love Dulce and I congratulate her on her success. Who are we to judge what she does and what she has? We don't know anything about her personal life and don't live with her. I don't think it's fair that people sit behind their computers and write nasty things about others. I wish her and her family health & happiness. January 1st, 2012 at 6:14 PM
Arlene from Vancouver says, Omgosh i totally luv luv dulce!! Shes so awesome at wat she does and shes such a sweetheart as well! Keep on doing watcha doing gurl! (: January 1st, 2012 at 8:35 PM
MELODY from CARTERET, NJ says, All i can say is wow, Dulce has been one that ive paid attention to ever since shes started and im more than happy for her on her success but at that same time what the flip happened? She was such a sweet relatable person and now shes this superficial shopping machine,I also do agree at the fact that she brags a lot and her voice and tone has changed to a much more annoying one. Shes always said the word " and " a certain way but nowww... its just too much. Drake makes songs about girls like her .. lost in fame. poor dulce i encourage you to stay strong and maybe if you sit back and look at your old self and the new you maybe youll see what were saying.. stay beautiful, healthy ,and spend time with the ones you love. January 2nd, 2012 at 12:27 AM
Steph from CA says, @Kat i agree with u its her job. There are a lot of moms out there who work 8 hours and nobody judges them for leaving their kids. I personally don't care much about her but people love to pick at any little thing. January 2nd, 2012 at 3:23 PM
Nikki Savage from France says, You do a good job, I like you alot ! January 2nd, 2012 at 8:31 PM
Marissa says, I love Dulce Candy because she is dedicated! Dulce has her mind set on a goal and nothing anyone may say takes that away from her! January 2nd, 2012 at 9:46 PM
megan from ny, NY says, man A LINE MEDIA IS really getting her out there January 3rd, 2012 at 6:07 PM
Sara says, What bothers me is that in many of her outfits she is wearing shoes from forever21 and Charlotte Russe, yet in the video she only shows her designer shoes and remarks that she doesnt usually shop at charlotte russe but bought those because they looked like Louboutin's. Its like she tried to act like everything in her closet is designer. Maybe you shouldn't have worn an H&M dress than Dulce hm? January 4th, 2012 at 1:49 AM
ROSE from baltimore says, ITS OVIOUS DULCE IS A MONEY-HUNGRY HEIFER WHO WANTS FAME AND DOESNT CARE HOW SHE GETS THERE I BET HER HUSBAND IS SHOVED AROUND AND DOES WHAT SHE SAYS .POOR GUY AND KID January 4th, 2012 at 11:56 AM
diy from singapore says, haha my closet and shoe collection pretty much suck after watching this. anyway, great video dulce! January 6th, 2012 at 7:59 AM
Ida Marie says, God, poor husband and kid? Really? They're married, they have a baby, they love each other! Im pretty sure she didn't rape him or anything! And those who says that her priorities are wrong because the spends 6 hours making a video, what about those mums that work 8 hours a day? Dulce makes a couple of videos a week, other people work at least 5 days a week! Jeez, people are so stupid, they can't be happy for others sucsess. And by the way, she dulce wasn't the one to pick out all the shoes, the interviewer asked her questions and picked out shoes she found interesting. We love you Dulce, don't care about the haters! Love from Norway January 9th, 2012 at 2:56 AM
Hayley from Los Angeles, CA says, Dulce is really pretty and she is talented with her makeup skills but she has serious issues in terms of hoarding. She can't possibly have worn all the items of clothing, shoes and accessories she owns, she needs some serious psychological help. Also I would not call her stylish or trendy at all, she just has stacks of clothes! January 10th, 2012 at 10:49 PM
TruthHurts says, It's funny how Dulce dresses like a clown calling it her own style when she's out getting her pictures taken at her nearby parking lot .. yet during events or anything related with actual human interaction (other than her Manny..I mean husband) she dresses all conservative and very plain to say the least. January 11th, 2012 at 8:54 AM
L. from NY says, That closet looks so cluttered! She needs to remember that it should be quality vs quantity. January 11th, 2012 at 1:07 PM
nikki from los angeles, CA says, Absolutely love dulce candy. She is amazing. She is one of my role models. I've been watching her on YouTube for years. She is a wonderful person and a huge inspiration. Keep up the good work dulce!!! I appreciate all ur help! January 11th, 2012 at 4:05 PM
thul say says, Vulgar and filthy wardrobe January 13th, 2012 at 2:13 AM
PIPI from AL says, POOR GIRL.WHO IS SHE? January 13th, 2012 at 5:16 PM
Kim from New York, NY says, When I watched DuleCandy back in the day she was genuine, now she has turned into this vapid clothing hoarder. Her closet looks like a warehouse, no quality just stuff! She has a wonderful personality, and THAT'S what got her the audience in the first place! not shopping for crap! January 13th, 2012 at 9:01 PM
teresa says, dulcecandy is superficial this irl didint work hard for all that crap jajajajaj i mean stuff i can get a load of cheap clothes at my local mall jajajajajajajajaj thats what shes got .probably 10 years worth of collecting January 18th, 2012 at 8:17 AM
Jlovesmac1 from Secret, CA says, Dulce's style is so tacky,and shes living in fantacy world,girl download an ap that will teach you to pronounce words correctly,you cant even say any freaking word that ends with "ing" right and use vocabularies youve learned from fashion school aside from "statement (piece),edgy,girly" i dont want to sound mean but youre a STUPID IDIOT January 19th, 2012 at 2:11 PM
CJ from DE says, Must suck for her husband and kid. Always locked away in her "closet". She dresses and applies makeup there. So what's in her bathroom? Jesse's stuff. Shes so selfish. A WHOLE garage for her... and only her. Wow. Materialistic. She does makeup hauls of things shes bought showing eyeshadows, nailpolishes, foundations, when in her closet tour she showed drawer after drawer FILLED with every color and type. Do you really need MORE? Are you even grateful that you have over 50 lipsticks and 30 makeup brushes? It doesn't seem like it. I watched some of her very old videos - her first ones - and she was so sweet and didn't have excessive things. Now its like... ever since she got her new closet she has to stuff it. Shes been even talking in a tone that is stuck up and snooty. Ridiculous. March 1st, 2012 at 12:53 PM
kriss says, dulce, have you seen the show Hoarders? you should be on it....... wanna know the truth about ms. candy? check out gurugossip.com March 9th, 2012 at 12:34 AM
laura from FL says, LOL you make your hubby take your 11 month old SON to the MALL!? hookay. you got issues dulce !! March 9th, 2012 at 12:38 AM
Eve from Los Angeles, CA says, This girl is a mess!!! She needs help, like now. Not jealous, it's just repulsive watching someone consume crap like that and claim to have style when it's nothing more than an addiction to hoarding and shopping. Would have way more respect for her if she kept it real and stopped deluding herself, I liked her blog when she was herself (even though her outfits were always questionable), now she just tries way too hard and it all looks like facade where she is trying to be someone she is not. Just keep it real Dulce, people will like you more if you do :) March 20th, 2012 at 5:32 PM
nathalie from las vegas, NV says, damn people are sooo stupid seriously why so much hate and jealousy . MIND YOUR OWN FUCKING BUSSINES BITCHES !!! April 3rd, 2012 at 11:56 PM
Kim from New York, NY says, To the commenter above.... Get a life! I mean really? You cussing at people like a lunatic because you don't like the fact that all the comments don't kiss her butt? get over it. Your probably 12 year old computer gangsta who thinks DulceCany87 is god. Get a life and a Flare. People are entitled to their opinions even if YOU don't agree with it. Oh, and I love how the moderators on here deciding to delete certain comments, but yet psycho fans like the one above can use vulgarities and curse words and that comment stays. Kudos... ALINE does it again I :) April 24th, 2012 at 3:40 PM
