Thank you to everyone who supports me and my channel. It is borderline killing me to launch this video but I am challenging myself to do it in hopes that it helps someone not feel alone during tough times. If you are going through something and want to share it, please feel free to do so here in the comments section. Be Kind.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Sometimes it takes a while until the grief really sets in, but when it does, it hurts more than anything in the world. I lost my grandparents back in 2019, and that didn't really hit me until late 2020... My grandpa was basically like a father to me, so it's been really hard. But long story short, you are really strong & you'll be fine. ❤️ They are with you and always will be.
Thank you for being real and relatable. We as a society are so willing to tear down each other. People seem to do that more easily to those they view as strong, happy, and 'together'. The fact that you are able to show your vulnerability even to those that may not appreciate it, speaks volumes about you. It shows that you are real and makes me enjoy watching you even more! Keep your chin up and thank you for all of your amazing talent.
Hi there beautiful! I am almost 71. A grandmother of 9! I want to tell you that hearing you speak about your grandparents and the wisdom your grandfather gave to you really blessed me. Thank you. I have been feeling afraid of aging. I look in the mirror and see someone with greying hair and wrinkles. It can be hard at times. But today I think how wonderful to be here. My husband and I share almost 37 years together. We like your grandparents share this wonderful journey. You my dear are so precious. Thank you for sharing your heart and your beautiful gift of helping people on life’s journey. God bless you.
I just turned 60 and my self esteem was low when I went searching for help on how to update my hair and makeup. That's when I found you and I am so grateful for you persevering through the trolls. I can't imagine being in your position. Just know that your pure intentions are deeply felt by those of us who are open to your beautiful light. I now look forward to getting ready in the mornings with your videos as my company and you as my guide. Your Grandparents were so blessed to have you as their granddaughter! Thank you Gabby. Thank you for being such a beautiful, graceful, and elegant beacon to so many!
I just came across your channel by happenstance. I have end stage liver disease so I'm usually up all night & sleep all day. I watched like 5 of your videos back to back because I just turned 50 & though I'm in pain & tired, I still want to look good for the sake of my children & grandchildren. Once I started watching this one however, I'm like bawling crying like 30 seconds in. What a beautiful legacy & life your grandparents story left you with. Your warmth & love for them shines so epically through your words! Please know that even though I don't know you personally, you'll be in my thoughts & prayer & thank you for your vulnerability, it's given me so much more than a "how to look younger" vid. 🙏💜
Sadly the world is populated with more ignorant and mean people than with smart and lovable ones😩. I absolutely LOVE your channel and treasure your generosity. I am 76 year old and in the few months since I discovered your channel, I have learned so much about hair, it has literally changed my life and helped me feel and look younger. So, please, NEVER forget how many people you are helping and when those nasty comments bring you down, have a glass of “adult” beverage and put a smile on your face thinking about all of us you are helping😍
...this is the first time watching this...how?...I don't know. I'm 73 and have been battling vertigo for the last two weeks, so I'm not driving, at the moment...and scrolling my computer seems to be my current sport. I need to watch your videos on makeup for the elder...wait, more mature folk. My main concern is whether I'll be able to hear your hints above the slurping sounds of my very interesting face, drinking in the creams...I cried with you...I remember when my grandparents departed this life and I loved them so much. I'm old enough that my folks, friends, and recently...my beloved husband have also departed. Life can be so difficult at times. Remember, we're all here for a reason. We may never know, on this side, what it is, but each one of us matters more than anyone understands. As far as the people who say harsh things and judge. You'll see those folks racing around Walmart in those carts, nearly knocking us all on the floor as they grumble and curse the very air around them. They have way worse problems than the rest of us and you will learn the art of eye rolling and quiet prayers for the unlovables in this world. Our time here is incredibly brief and each day is a gift. You are gorgeous and delightful. Keep sharing your heart. Blessings to you, sweet girl. 🥰
I am a grandma. I breaks my heart to see your pain. I wish I had the perfect words of comfort. Please know that your grandparents would give anything to wipe your tears way. They will always be with you through loving memories. Hugs from this Kentucky grandma.
My deepest sympathies on your loss of your grandparents. I KNOW FIRST HAND what you are feeling. I am 55 and lost my 97 year old grandmother my "Nanny" in March of 2022. She was my life and has been my whole world since I was born. I took care of her and was there with her till her last breath. I wish you peace and happy memories to help take away the tears that just appear for no reason or from a smell, or a song. I love your make up videos and I will love them even more knowing you are so down to earth. Grandparents are the best! I only hope to be half of what my nanny was to me to my future grandchildren. Peace & Love
I am a new subscriber and I have NEVER left a comment on anyone's channel before. I want to congratulate you on your ethics, and honesty. I understand sponsorships. As an interior designer, I have been asked so many times to promote products. If I don't like the company policies, the product, or if I like the product, I will speak about it with MY WORDS, not theirs. I also related so much to you about your grandparents. I grew up with mine. I cried with you.I will be 70 soon, and I still miss them after 30 years. I love your make-up and skin care tutorials for women my age. Looking natural with a warm glow is key. My mother is 87 and that is how she has always done her make-up. People think she is much younger. You are a beautiful soul. Your gentleness and kindness shines through. Never change for anyone. If you ever need a shoulder...
You're just so lovely! I'm a farmer's wife in Australia, and as you'd imagine, most days I'm surrounded by blokes, dust and flies! I love watching your videos and occasionally putting a bit of makeup on and follow your tips to feel just a little bit more girly. So THANK YOU Gabi! X
So glad you posted this!!!! So so glad you said all of it!! You are a class act!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! People are jealous, envious, bored and just flat mean. Hiding behind a computer or phone is easy. If anyone met you in person they would never say those things to you! If they did you would clearly run in the other direction from the toxicity. Please keep doing what you do. You have over 180k subscribers because of you!!! Love your channel. Love your honesty. ❤
Thank you so much for taking the time to message me and leave such a sweet comment. You are right: people never say those things in real life. It's easy to hide behind a keyboard. I am sending a hug your way!
@@GlamGirlGabi and you have a huge hug from me! Love your channel, content. Beautiful girl inside and out with a beautiful family. Don’t lose sight of what’s important and those icky little people are unimportant in the big picture. Love ❤️
You are not who the world says you are, you are who I say you are. Thank you Jesus for setting me free from needing everyone else's approval to make me feel beautiful . You make me feel truly beautiful every day. I pray you find this same freedom Gabbi, because you have a beautiful heart, and I can see the light of Christ in it.
Huge hug from me too! You are adorable! I embraced my silver hair because of people like you. You are wise beyond your years my darling. Keep doing you! You are a class act. On a separate note: I had an incredibly close relationship with my grandparents as well and when I lost them, it was beyond devastating. I couldn't talk about it for years.... without breaking into tears and reliving the loss. I've learned that there is nothing anyone can say to take away the pain. Grief is a very solo journey... much like having the flu. Then one day you feel like you are feeling like yourself again. We also don't ever get over it, rather I pray that your heart grows to make room for it. You are very special and so blessed to have felt that much love, that's truly what the grief represents. I will leave you with my favorite quote from the inimitable Eleanor Roosevelt : "No one can ever make us feel bad, without our permission." Stay true to you, as you always have and keep marching forward! You Rock Gabby!! @Glam Girl Gabby
Hi! I’ve been watching (and rewatching) your videos about a month. You are awesome! You have literally changed my look. I’ve been getting so many compliments. I’m turning 60 at the end of the year. I’ve been regretting seeing that Birthday. Thanks to you I am no longer regretting turning 60! You have given me the confidence, technique and the correct makeup for me to use. So I want to thank you! There are more people that appreciate you.
I hear you. Was supposed to retire, sell house move south with my husband. He passed away right before we did all this. I end up going alone living by my sister. It’s hard, l’m 68 and don’t know where l’m going. Yeah l couldn’t do what you do. You are brave and honest and l for one appreciate it.
Grief is a tricky visitor, a smell, a song, a sound, anything can trigger the sense of loss and deep grief Allow it visit for a little bit and then it will leave. You are lucky you had such a close relationship with them, cherish the memories, they're all around you 💖
Dear Gabi, My sincere condolences for the loss of your elderly grandparents. I commend you for expressing your heart-ache and feelings. publicly…the devastation of your loss. You’re sharing ‘the human experience’. Never, ever underestimate the possibilities of your potential Gabi. I see you as authentic and would bet I’m not alone on that assumption. ‘Be bold, be brave’, beautiful soul. 💕 🦌 🕊️ 💜 ❤️ 🖤 🕊️ 🌷 P.S. I’d bet your grandfather called you so often, not because of boredom, but of adoration For You, Gabi. XOX 💕
Dearest Gabi I pray you would have peace through this time of grief after loosing your grand parents. You are so precious! You are helping God's women get through the bad hair days! Know how high, how deep, how wide and how long God's love is for you! Make sure you take off a day a week and enjoy your family! Go and see the movie Jesus Revolution. You will not regret it! Life is a series of tests and trials. God wants you to turn to Him for help. When it comes down to it - it is all about your soul! Where will you spend eternity? It wasn't until I cried out to God for help that He answered me. Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and all His righteousness and all these other things will be given you! God wants your heart. I ❤️ you very much and will keep you in prayer for God to comfort you the way only He can! Frances (former hairdresser)
My thirties were the hardest time in my life, both personally and professionally, and I was not a self-employed TH-cam content creator, trolled by anonymous non-subscribers, critiqued by ignorant strangers, or abused by brands. Thank you for sharing your experiences, and remember that miserable people want others to be miserable. They are toxic.
Yup, I always tell my kid, "hurting people, hurt people" (just like how you said "miserable people want others to be miserable") & it's so TRUE. You won't find a happy, well adjusted person trolling anyone, especially on TH-cam (as they are probably too busy with their wonderful life).
I just started watching you. I'm so impressed by your knowledge. You explain things so clearly & easily. You've made me want to try to look & feel better. You've lifted my spirits. It's so true that so many people "fake it till you make it" by trying to put a smile on their face. Meanwhile, they are feeling so bad & insecure about themselves. I know this because I live it everyday. You are a genuinely decent, lovely, beautiful woman. Both inside & outside. My heart is breaking for you losing your wonderful, loving grandparents. They will always be with you in spirit & in your heart. It's easy to say, screw all those trolls but I know it's hurtful to you. I'm so sorry there are so many horrible people in this world. Anyway, you're better than them in every way. Keep up the good work. Take care of you for a while. Your family loves you ❤ & that will be your strength. Best always.
🥰 Hi, I’m so sorry about what happened with your grandparents. They were so blessed to have such a loving granddaughter. I’m 73, I just watched a video of you doing the makeup of an older woman, she looked gorgeous. I think that it’s good that you shared what is going on in your life-sometimes we need to get things out and cry, and hopefully you will receive a lot of genuine encouragement. I liked hearing about how ethical you are with sponsors. I only follow a handful of people, in all different areas-but they are all ethical and genuine. I will be following you. Also about the sponsors pushing people to lie and say things prematurely about their products-I didn’t know how bad it was-I’m glad that you shared that, it’s a burden. You need sponsors that you believe in. I hope that as you continue to heal from the deeply emotional things that have happened-I hope that you will get back some or a lot of your confidence and be able to distance yourself emotionally from these abusive, hateful people. It truly seems that there are more boldly hateful people than ever before. They have a problem. God bless you, your family, and your channel. ❤️ Love and prayers 🙏
I'm 64 years old and have been following you for awhile. Your content has helped me and given me so many great tips for my hair and makeup... not to mention I truly enjoy them. Today your words were so truthful and heartfelt. As a mature woman who has lost many, I felt your grief and encourage you to feel it as well. You will never get over the loss, but you will reach a place of love and remembering. As for the haters, as women we are the worst... to each other and to ourselves. You are beautiful...inside and out. I personally thank you for all that you do on this channel. ❤
I RARELY write comments on youtube; perhaps 3 my whole life! I LOVE your channel, you are beautiful (and I can tell you're young ;), professional and I trust your overview of the products you present. I've bought a few different things at your recommendation and adore them. As a 50 year old high school teacher, I'm always shocked at how we can speak to each other over social media; not having to look the person in the eye and not allowing that person to rebuttal or defend themselves. Your insights to this career choice is truly eye opening; I lifted you up in prayer today.
Wow Katherine thank you so much for taking he time to leave me a message with so much insight. I am really thankful to have people like you on this channel. Being a content creator is a relatively new career and it is amazing in many ways but also incredible hard in others. I don't think anyone talks about it but the mental health struggles that come with it can be all consuming. I'm sending you a virtual hug.
Ppl are cruel. I love all your tips and tutorials. I’m 51 and have never really been good at the makeup game. I’m sorry for your loss. You are absolutely gorgeous and I thank u for sharing your knowledge with us. ❤❤
You are stunning even without make up. I recently started watching your channel and noticed that you do not make others or yourself look unrecognizable. You enhance their natural beauty, allowing their confidence and happiness to shine through. Your openess about your grandparents was heartwarming, especially to someone like me, whose grandparents died before I even understood what grandparents were. Thank you for all you do!! 🥰
It is such a shame how this world has switched from what used to be a higher number of kind people who would never try to hurt someone, to people who get off on cruelty to others. I respect how this makes you feel, and admire you for not letting them succeed in tearing you down, to the point of leaving. A lot of it is shear jealousy. Keep up what you do Gabi! I am also a hairstylist of 36 years. You are fantastic at everything you do. So sorry for the loss of your grandparents. Keep on keeping on!!!
It does feel like the world is getting crueler doesn't it Shelia? Thank you for your kind message and for taking the time out of your day to watch and support.
So sorry for your loss! I am sorry to hear that bullying comments from unhappy people are taking a toll on your mental health... You’re a kind person, so mean and negative comments affect you greatly! Remember most of us love you and your channel. Warm wishes for you and your family!😍🥰❤️💗💙😘😍💕
Ditto. I also know there are professional haters whose job it is to just make horrible comments on channels of all kinds, so they aren’t actually authentic but horrible nonetheless. You are beautiful & provide great content ❤️
I'm so sorry for your loss. The way you present yourself and your content is a lovely testament to your grandparents. You are a beautiful young woman and the fact that you are taking the time and interest to help us aging women look and feel good about ourselves speaks of the person you are. So glad I found you!
You are beautiful! I love your heart, honest, and morals. Just know the haters are the ones that are jealous of not only your outward beauty, but your internal beauty. I just found you today when I searched how to transition to my natural gray hair. I will continue to follow you as I love your content. I also want to give you my condolences about your grandparents. Children's relationships with Grandparents are some of the most important in the world. Hang onto all your memories with them. Best, Susan
I didn’t see an insecure woman in this video! I saw a STRONG, HUMBLE, BEAUTIFUL, LOVING woman!! When I have those days, I remember who I am in Christ! This scripture came to my mind after watching…Ephesians 6:12 King James Version 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. This chapter talks about the armor of God! Whatever your beliefs are, I hope it encourages you❤! LOVE ALWAYS WINS!
Firstly Gabi, please accept my sincere condolences on the loss of your dear Grandparents. See you crying made me cry, as I could feel what a loving relationship you had. Thank you for being so honest in all the things you talked about. I’m not sure I’ve ever commented here before. I only knew one Grandparent. Both my husband and I were born to older parents, and so as we got older it was like looking after grandparents. All 4 of our parents passed away just before Covid. Mine 6 months apart, hubby’s just 3 months apart. It’s been devastating because we don’t have any close relatives, and no children. I’m 60 now, but when my in laws were sick, I landed in hospital and almost died. You are so wise when you say, one day you are young, and then you are old. I’m lucky to be 60 at this point. Facing death makes you realize the truly important things in life. Your children, husband, friends, parents, that’s all that matters. At 60, the one thing I’ve learned is that there are a lot of messed up people in this world. They do not feel good about themselves, so they criticize YOU! It’s not about you, it’s about them. They are going to make you feel bad about yourself. Knock you down a few rungs, in hopes that you’ll feel badly like they do. Looking at someone so young and beautiful such as yourself can make you feel less than if you are not young and pretty, but that’s my problem if I feel that way. A comment that is mean, is not an “ opinion”, it’s just a mean comment that does NOT serve anyone in any way. You have a right to delete that. And I wish you would. I want to see positivity but also honesty from you, and in the comments. That’s called civil society, which seems to be disappearing. You have a right to make a living Gabi. Thank you for posting such quality content and for sharing tips for aging skin and hair. I appreciate you VERY much. Tracey
I agree totally! This is my first time watching her videos and my heart breaks for how society today is so disrespectful to each other. When are we going to just love everyone and show kindness to each other? We should be encouraging each other and building each other up not tearing each other down. I hope she is able to take some time to get a support system. Everyone needs that. I think she is very beautiful and sweet. And being kind on the inside shows she has great integrity which this world needs more of today. I'll be praying for her
Hi Gabby, this is my first time watching your videos. I am so sorry for your loss watching your video and seeing you cry brought back my feelings for the loss of my parents during Covid. I lost my mom and dad a week apart. A double funeral was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. Losing your love ones takes a very large part of you. The only thing that gets me through is my faith. Well, I don’t know where you are in your faith. but I will definitely be praying for you. Grieving is a very hard thing to go through but on a different note, I am a hairstylist, and I’ve been in the business 35 years . And in that 35 years I have been a divorced, single mom my son is 20 so my journey I feel very lonely. And every time I look at myself in the mirror, I see myself looking older. Your videos have helped me and inspired me to do my make up erent, but I find I’m very sensitive as I get older around my eyes. So if you have any advice for aging sensitive eyes, please keep me in mind thank you and keep up the awesome work you do for us girls in our different journeys, of life, Your videos are very Helpful you have brought hope and joy to my life with your tips and tricks. I love your videos don’t ever stop . Thank you
I recently lost my Mom. Nothing prepares you for watching the people who raised you; cared for you; loved you; get old and sick and die. It’s been the hardest time of my life. I’m sorry for your loss❤️
I lost my mom four months ago and the pain is still very bad. I lost my dad in 1970. He was only 39. But losing a mother - she gives you life, she teaches you everything she knows in hopes it will help you in your life ahead. She sacrifices everything for her children. It is very, very hard. I believe the only thing harder would be to lose my husband. I'm so sorry for your loss and your pain, and for what Gabi is feeling.
@@carolwalsh2181 I read this quote once ( I don’t know who said it)-“I knew I was no longer a child when my mother died. I knew there would never again be anyone who would always put me before themselves.” That really hit home 😢
Thank you for your honesty Gabi. I am so sorry for your loss. I am have just had my 70th birthday and try not to dwell on the future but enjoy and appreciate the present as much as I can. Always though as we age we are aware at some level of what our future might be. I live in hope and choose to trust my faith and belief in God whenever other thoughts intrude. I know that none of us are promised a perfect ending in this world but my hope is in the hereafter. I hope your grandparents had faith and that you do also. It has helped me through so many tough times in my life. You are BEAUTIFUL by the way. I was very lucky to look very young at your age just as you do and throughout my life until hitting 60. I hope you keep on doing your videos. You are very much appreciated.
I’m a brand new viewer… and trying to imagine anyone criticizing your appearance is beyond baffling to me. You’re gorgeous inside & out! How could anyone be prettier?? I can’t even imagine.
Your beauty is what brought me to your channel. My mother owned a beauty salon on cosmetic company for 50 years. Your content is spot on! The haters can just move on. It's easy to make nasty comments behind a keyboard. Your beauty, sincerity and confidence are what I enjoy! You continue to be yourself and don't apologize for your natural beauty!!! Much peace & love!!!
I am so sorry for the loss of your grandparents. At 73 I have lost family and friends and it's heartbreaking. I do love what your grandfather said and I will try to remember that. Gabi, you are one of my favourites and I respect what you say and show us. I now realise so many don't vet a product and then it becomes a "fail" later. That is so frustrating to me--especially after I've purchased it. Please take a deep breath, know that you are very. much appreciated by most and keep going.
I stopped scrawling the second I saw your face. These are challenging times , it is all about changes. At a collective level most of us are directed to change our perspectives on how we view the world around us but what part we play as individuals as well. I truly believe you are answering your calling. This channel is unique, real and VERY MUCH NEEDED. You speak from the heart and are touching on a subject THAT WE ALL CAN RELATE. A safe place to do so. You are connecting with many. That is your calling!! GOD BLESS YOU!! THANK YOU!❤❤❤
I appreciate your authenticity today. You give tips for women who want to be as beautiful as they are by enhancing their face with the talents you have worked hard to learn. People come in and judge you, your model choices and your being young, your botox, your eyebrows. just whatever they can find to instill negativity into your vibe, these people do not like themselves, sadly thesenpeople are treating you how they feel about themselves, and no amount of tips you are sharing are going to help them, at the end of the day we all know that beauty abounds inside out. Your sharing about your grandparents touched me, reminded me of family I have loved and lost, I cried, I needed that, and your a beautiful soul!! Be Blessed, thank you. Best Piper Coleman
Not everyone gets old. My mum passed suddenly at age 42. Went for a walk to the hairdresser and that was it... I was just 20 back then. Life is tough when we lose people we love. Sending hugs your way xx
I was 15 when I lost my mom, she was 42 as well. She struggled with mental issues and was trapped in a bad marriage with a man who only gave her $1 a day (it was the 80s and cigarettes cost a dollar back then). Anyway, she committed suicide when she purposely knelt in front of an AM Track train. It’s still painful to even think about.
@Falcon Eddie I'm deeply sorry for your loss. I lost my husband at the age of 43 to suicide. It is much different than a traditional death. I too, am pained to think about it. God bless you.
You are so blessed to have such a connection with your grandparents. Many grandchildren don’t have special grandparents. Thank God for the love you received from them.
I just found you last week when looking for a hair video on whether or not to cut bangs and best looks for me at 70 years old. I loved how you devoted so much of your time to speak to us that are more mature with tips and tricks for beauty advice. I see now where your love for my age population comes from. Well, I subscribed to your channel right then and there and am so glad I did. I cried along with you during this video as I remembered those that I have loved and lost. I am sorry for your loss of two very prominent and present people in your life. You are beautiful and genuine and matter to so many of us here. Thanks for your vulnerability and posting this heartfelt dialogue with us.
I'm 52 and so so happy I found you! We need to flood you with good comments to take away from the bad. Takes a lot of good to remove small amount of bad. Thank you for being so beautiful. What a blessing you were to your grandparents and such a blessing to us. May God greatly bless you and heal you. 💗
Remember that during the first part of your video you talked about really matters the most in life, which is the love between families and friends and people's ❤️ hearts and being with the ones you love. The older I get the more I realize that love of God, others and self supports everything else we do! #1. You are doing alright sister!
Hi Gabi! I recently discovered your channel and came across this video. While watching, tears rolled down my cheeks and I never cry. I’m so very sorry for your loss. You are blessed that you had loving grandparents. So many of us have not. It’s a true blessing. Thank you for being real and vulnerable. You are a sweetheart. I love your channel! You are doing a great job despite all the difficulties. Stay strong and God Bless You!! 🙏🙏
Thank you for hanging in there! You are beautiful and a breath of fresh air. There are people who think stepping on someone else makes them bigger, when in reality, they truly show how small they are. I just started watching you and hope you’re around for a long time. Your honesty and morals are greatly appreciated.
Thank you for sharing everything that you do, for us, Gabi. I can tell you from the experience I had a few yrs ago of my husband dying traumatically after an outpatient procedure gone wrong to my son taking his own life last year, that life is not always how we expect it to be. And we learn from these terribly hard things to give ourselves grace. When no one else is there, you have to love yourself enough to take care of you every day, every minute, every breath, whatever that means for you. And eventually you find a peace in the eye of the storm, and you know you will be ok. Be ok, girl, take care of you. You have to put on your own oxygen mask before you help anyone else❤
Gabi, I just finished watching this video and wanted to tell you first off that I think you are absolutely beautiful. And how your platform on TH-cam changed my hair and my life. I am almost 70 and started losing my hair, when I started searching for videos and found you. I knew I wasn't alone and you didn't have to be 70 to have thinning hair. I bought some of the hair tools and products you recommended (Tymo Hot Air Brush) by the way I had purchased a hot air brush in the past but didn't know how to use it correctly till I saw your video. My husband of 32 years said this was the best my hair has looked in all those years. So thank you for all of your help and advice in making me feel sooo much better about myself.
I just today found your channel this is #3 I watched. I lost my father this past November and my mother 4 years ago. It is very hard loosing those you love very much. The reason you miss the So much is that you were so much a part of their lives. You loved them well!!!!!
I’m 73 just found you and love you! Thanks for all your hard work and I wish could mend all your hurts 🥰 Try to use them for good. 💖 What a wonderful world it would be if everyone was kind…hurt people, hurt people. Blessings
Gabi, you are a brave woman with an abundance of integrity. The naysayers are tremendous teachers, nothing more. They help you understand why compassion and empathy is crucial and judgement is useless and unproductive. Your content is valuable and well received. Consider yourself, as a thirty something woman to be blessed. The social media challenges will never go away but your response can evolve with time. You truly are an amazing woman!
Not me crying before 10am! The Grandparent loss is a hard one that even with time always hurts. Love your grandpa's outlook on one bad yr for a lifetime of good ones. Love these vulnerable videos ❤️
Thanks Summer. I am sorry for starting your morning with tears but sometimes we all just need a solid cry right! I am happy that it was only a couple of challenging years for a whole lifetime of happiness. I hope that I am so lucky.
You mentioned that your husband is an engineer, I am too. I’ll try to reassure you with the following. In my professional office job of 15+ years, I’ve experienced so much bombardment of criticism, snide attitudes, hurtful feedback, etc. The nastiness is EVERYWHERE. I hope you understand my intention here, feel comforted that your suffering is not exclusive to your type of work, we’re all battling through the jungle of life, have heart!
OMG I NEEDED this. I own a small store and people have no idea how much work goes on that customers don't see. I work a 12hr day, someone comes in and sees me sitting for lunch, but something in the store isn't done and gets nasty comments that I'm lazy. You are SO RIGHT. It bites and sticks more now than it used to. I am about to go put my happy face on, again, I will work my butt off all day, again, and it WON'T be enough, again. But I also have a family so here I go, again. Peace and love to you, both of us.
You are a gorgeous soul! Your videos have helped me feel confident about my extremely thin hair that doesn't seem to grow. Most content creators show up here with long luscious manes pushing the latest lip gloss as the solution to all your troubles. But you are honest and caring and get real, sharing your professional and personal experience in benefit of your viewers. I truly appreciate you and your advice. I'm a text translator and also work alone from home all day, you are great company to me and make me feel in touch with real beauty trends, like a friend at school! "Those who mind, don't matter, and those who matter, don't mind," said the great Dr. Seuss. Sending you big hugs with lots of love!
I'm in my sixties and your genuine love for your Grandparents is so touching💕. This is part of life. The tough part.. God bless you and your family. Memories of them will always be a part of you. They helped to mold you into the wonderful person you are💕. Family and love are so important. I cried when I saw this video. I loved my Grandma. She passed when I was 27 years old. Her memory lives inside if me!! She was the only Grandparent I remember! Their gift to you was Love!
Sweet Gabi, bless your tender heart!! I'm a 71 yo grandma & know that aging has its difficulties. But I love how you try to make us "oldies" look and feel better. Thank you for your openess & loving heart. Never change!
So sorry for your loss.. heartbreaking to see you cry. As far as the horrible comments that you are reading on your channel, most people do not feel that way. You are doing such a wonderful job on your content in which I learn so much even at 55. I Thank you for that. You are very genuine and authentic. Don’t change. Love from BC. Q🇨🇦🥰
I am new to your channel and wanted to say thank you for putting this out there and for sharing all of this with us. As someone who doesn't create content, I have no idea what you all go through and can only imagine. Thank you for being vulnerable. I'm so sorry you lost both of your grandparents and sending you virtual hugs.
How beautiful you are to show your vulnerability. It will help some to realize that you are human too, not just a beauty queen. There will always be the mean people, insecure in themselves, that attack others to make themselves feel important. I am sorry that you have to experience that. It happens to teachers a lot. Continue to be the model in classy behavior as well as glamour. I am sorry about your grandparents. Both my grandparents and my parents have passed. I am glad for the good times you had with yours, and sad for the lack for time. Enjoy who is left, encouraging their stories for you to remember for a lifetime. Peace and kindness to you
It's so hard losing the people closest to us. I lost my Mom in 2010 and my Dad in 2017, and my life has never been the same. You're stunningly beautiful, intelligent and youre a wonderful person. You are carrying out a legacy for your family. Just remember how proud they are of you! I'm so thankful for you and your over 50 tips. I've been sick and haven't worn makeup in a long time and you help so much! Your subscribers love you!! ❤️💋
Oh Gabi , the pain of grief is something we all experience. It's so awful but you are not alone. Although no words can take away the sorrow that you bare. May it be comforting to you to know that all ur followers care. God be with you and your family...
Hi - I love your channel, and subscribed the minute I found it. I am closing in on 60 years old, and the last few years has been very hard taking care of my mother because of her failing healt. She passed away a couple of months ago, and it has left a big hole in my life. Still, I try to stay positive, and tell my self I will now have more time to take care for myself now. I have never before really cared that much about how I look, because I did not feel my age really showing - realtively smooth skin, and no grey hair. Also I more often than not went for the no makeup look. However, the last few years has taken its toll, and after menopause, I can now detect the signs of aging, and I have realized that I am not forever young. That is why I love your channel so much - I am inspired to see that even as we age, we can embrace where we are in life, make the best of it, and wear the beauty of wisdom with pride... with a little help from you :-) I am so very greatful :-) I also think it took a lot of courage to post this very honest video. Thank you for keeping the good content coming, in spite of advercity. I am a freelancer, and I understand how lonely it can get, and that bad comments will inevitably creep in some times. Hopefully you also read the good comments :-) I trick I have used when the confidence gets low, and I need a pick me up, is to collect some really good feedback, and when the lows are setting in, I take out the good feedback, read it again, and reflect upon it. That makes me feel better, and helps me move on with more happiness, motivation and vigour.
Just recently discovered you on this channel. I was so touched by your video. I could not turn away. Your message touched my heart ❤ You are an amazing young woman and have made your grandparents very proud. Keep doing what you are doing and be proud of the values that you have learned from them. Love,peace and joy to you
Not a regular here but you popped up today.Divune intervention? I'm nearly 65 and my father recently passed away with a combination of struggles both your dear grandparents. We are never ready for their passing no matter our age or relationships we have with them. I cried along with you even before you bravely shared your heart. Know that you helped me release more of my grief but also allowed me to feel more of the love in my heart and gratitude for the love we all share for each other as a collective. Sending you and your family heartfelt condolences and cherish the memories as you travel your journey with your family . THANK you for your video and bless you.
Girl, I am almost ten minutes in while starting to write this, and I am crying so much. My heart aches for you because I know how hard it is to lose a grandparent, and all growing up, you had the biggest heart! I wish there was a way to just wipe all the pain away, but if you just take the hits as they come and let the waves of emotion wash over you even through the tears, those memories bring you closer to them and eventually bring you peace so you can smile when you think about them. I know that's wordy, but it's true. My grampa passed in October, and I still find myself crying and wishing he would call and bother me again. I'd give anything to stay on a call with him for an hour trying to figure out how to get his music on his ipod, but then I also find comfort from knowing he's no longer in pain. I know this type of content isn't what you're normally comfortable with, but I'm grateful you were brave enough to do it. It wasn't the way I planned to spend my morning, but I'm glad I got the opportunity to! I really want to re-connect in the near future. We need to get the trio back together because life is hard, and we need to support the people we love. You and your arched brows are absolutely beautiful!! You're not alone either I hope you know that! ❤️💕
Tiffani thank you so much for taking the time to leave that comment and for spending the morning with me. It's the little things isn't it? I would do anything now to feel annoyed at him for calling me 5 times in a row when I was in the middle of doing a wedding party. And then half the time when I picked up, he was half out of frame on the Ipad because he didn't know how to centre himself on the screen. HAHAHA! I know one day I will think about all of this and it will make me feel happy. But right now it just makes me feel tremendous sadness. One foot at a time right? You can fast forward through grief.
I just found your videos recently and subscribed and enjoy them. You shared your honest feelings with class and dignity. It’s a challenging business you’re in because when we put ourselves out there in the public domain, there’s always bound to be criticism. Thank you for sharing your grieving process from the loss of your beloved grandparents. About your tattoo, if you continue to feel that it doesn’t suit you, there’s always laser tattoo removal. You may not want it when you’re much older. Best wishes to you. You’re a beautiful lady.
You were so blessed to have such wonderful grandparents who lived long lives. I love your grandfather's sayings!!! You're going through a rough patch but it will get easier. Hang in there girl.
I know! I am so lucky to have had them for as long as I did. I will always think about all the words of wisdom they gave me and how much they made me feel loved. What a tremendous gift I was given.
I’m proud of you for challenging yourself to post this even though it’s been super hard. Your grandpa sounded soooooooooo full of wisdom! It’s so hard seeing grandparents and loved ones pass and go through that journey of life. It’s incredibly tough. I feel happy for you to have had those memories and special bond with your grandparents. I highly suggest looking into personal therapy if you’re not already going…. Look into the different types of therapy, like somatic and edmr and psychodynamic and dbt .. cbt is the average but I think there are better! Those specializing in IFS are my favorite!!!!! Many can feel shame when thinking of therapy, but it’s just a way to explore yourself deeper with someone neutral and educated, an expert! Also it’s important to find someone you fit well with, it isn’t like just finding one will be your best fit automatically. Knowing if you want a straightforward type that challenges you or calls you out OR one that listens patiently and is more of a presence and understanding and let’s YOU lead, knowing what’s best for you will help loads and asking what type they are during the interview 15 minutes will help you find a good fit. You sharing is important for yourself and others too. Keep going. Day by day, hour by hour if need be. Life is beautiful and messy and tough and exciting and hard and wonderful…. But at times we need more support, more than just friends and family. Also I wanna mention that those comments that stick and trigger, there’s some part within that’s rooted deeply with insecurity and fear, maybe fear of not being seen and understood (basic natural human need!) or an insecure of being misinterpreted.. and this can trigger deep wounds from childhood, etc. When those comments stick, it’s sticking for a reason. There’s an inner part struggling with what was said and that inner part has a truth and needs to be heard and validated. IFS (internal family systems) is ALL about recognizing internal parts and helping them and seeing them… this process can help change how we react subconsciously too. So this deep inner work (that therapy just assists with - like a dentist assisting with teeth health) helps us unlock our deeper selves understand ourself better and find ways to help ourselves, which makes us a better person and parent and partner ❤❤❤
Hugs from a "mom type". I am using some of your videos to show, encourage and teach ladies in my barbershop chorus how great they can look and to be more comfortable with makeup. Many are over 70 and have never worn makeup and need to wear a full face with lashes for a big multistate contest. From us mom and grandma ladies, thank you for helping to beautify us and many hugs and appreciation from us to you! We sing "Believe" from Polar Express so listen to it and Believe in all the good around you; "There's so much to celebrate". Your grandparents will always be with and a part of you! I'm 61 and it's a tough thing to age but you're helping!
You share beauty and wisdom so often. Thank you for sharing pain and memories, too. And so much love. It really shines through. Your grandparents must have been wonderful. Grief is the price we pay for love, Elizabeth II said, and it's so true. Hugs to you and your family. And considering social media: it's great and helpful and informative - and it's a paradise for mean people. Thank you for your honesty, and I'm certain you'll get stronger again and these comments won't affect you.
Gosh that really hit home. "Grief is the price we pay for love." Love is such a profound and incredible thing that I would take it all in order to continue to get the kind of love I have been lucky enough to receive in my life. I think you're also right about it not affecting me as I get stronger. I am just a little fragile at the moment so things hit harder. I am getting there though. Thank you for taking the time to leave me such an insightful and helpful comment.
It's sad that people can't just "stay in their lane". As a recovering people pleaser, I have struggled with being OK with just being me. I love Brene Brown's talk about how to stop giving your power away to critics. Stay strong and keep embracing YOUR glam Gabi!
Hey.. I'm from Guyana right next door to Brazil.. so sorry for your loss. But I'm very encouraged by your resilience . Keep it up.also I appreciate the feedback on starting TH-cam career. Thank you!!. Your honesty is rare.. I'm sure you will be reward by God for it. Love listening to your channel.😊😊
So sorry for your loss. What a blessing to have had such a wonderful loving relationship with your grandparents. I can feel them smiling down on you with pride for the beautiful brave and generous woman you are. Thank you for your videos and honesty.
How caring and warm you are as you speak you share with a greatful heart thank you it is healing to cry a share and we you audience care that you suffer from Adelaide South Australia thanks
I cried so much, even though I don’t know you personally I relate to your story so much, I myself moved to Canada and my grandparents live in other country and I lost my most beloved grandpa during Covid, of course I wasn’t allowed to go to a funeral or say goodbye as he was at the hospital when he died. I still grieve now 2 years later and watching this video made me cry out loud 😢 Wishing you strength ❤ Sending you love from another fellow Canadian
I have never come across your channel before and I watched a couple others before this one. Thank you for choosing to use your passion in life to help others. Thank you for sharing your beautiful soul with the world. The ones that judge you are really judging themselves and don’t know how to see love in others and in themselves. So sad for them. You, on the other hand, have much to be admired for well beyond what the eyes can see in a video. You are not alone, especially now. I’m sorry you feel sadness for your grandparents, but they are with you so much more now than before. Keep shining your light sweet girl for your grandparents and for the rest of us! ❤
❤🙏 You are so beautiful and so brave for making this video. I just started following you and I love your sensitivity and honesty and your beautiful heart. Thank you so much for helping women to look and feel their best when they don’t feel secure and young. You have made a huge difference in my life and I am very grateful for you and your channel! ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for a Wonderful Eye Opening Video! I am so grateful to TH-cam for so many many wonderful, creative and super talented people like you (influencers) who have made my life so much better just by watching you and them! I know I speak for hundreds, (probably thousands during Covid) of us, who sometimes remain silent and don’t let you guys know how much you are appreciated, loved, admired, and respected… we are sooo very grateful for your videos and their content! To you and all of you hard working TH-cam people who can write, produce and star in your own Show….You guys are incredible! Honestly, how many people can remain interesting and relevant week after week, even year after year?! That’s amazing. We look forward to seeing your beautiful faces and charming personalities and wonderful content. I have learned so much about practically everything because of awesome people like you that bring so much knowledge into my life. And we certainly hope that the “bullies on the block” don’t scare you away…. and there always are bullies of some kind or another, …because then they win ! And WE lose! In reality, there are a handful of them and hundreds of us that count on you each week! So please ignore them because we need more “good” in our lives instead of bad. Please remember this when you see a negative comment… and think of music, and how we each have different tastes in songs… and just imagine that person doesn’t like the same music you do… so without judgment just ask them to “change the channel”.😂 Sorry for your terrible loss!❤
Thanks for being so honest. I’m fairly new to your channel. My first impression was that I liked you and that you seemed authentic. I then became a subscriber. I appreciate the difficulties you talk about being a content creator. I personally couldn’t do it or deal with the issues. I just want you to know that you come off as very easy to relate to. You cannot make everyone happy or have everyone like you. That’s true for all of us. Just be yourself. If what you’re doing for a living is dragging you down, find something else. We luckily have choices in this world.
I've just discovered your channel and enjoy your content and advice. I found your content in this video, regarding content creation and managing a TH-cam channel very enlightening. You're a beautiful young woman, and a very gifted makeup artist. Thank you for sharing that. So sorry about your grandparents. Its funny how we think we're okay with loss, then grief can sneak up on us in ways we don't expect. You're so blessed to have such wonderful memories of your grandparents. You obviously brought a lot of joy into each other's lives. May God bless you, and bring you peace. ❤
I am so appreciative of your honesty!! I totally understand how hard all of those comments much be! I have been in that space where I’ve heard 100 great comments, but the one not so bad comment is all is focus on. And that’s not even on a platform, but just real life. I know you already know those people that say nasty comments are unhappy themselves … hurting people hurt people. I watch you because you’re a bad ass at what you do and I am drawn to your beauty, sass and style. Not to mention I’ve struggled with hair loss. I am one of those more mature women that follow you - I’m 57 and I learn so much from your channel. I wish I could erase your brain from those thoughts i know I’m rambling. Just wanted to let you know that I support and respect you. Please keep being you! Do you! I love your eyebrows! Damn haters.
Thanks so much for sharing this with us. I’m 51 and lost my grandparents when I was in my 20’s and I still miss them, but am grateful for every memory of them. Please don’t let mean comments stick to your heart. You’re wonderful and they don’t deserve a place there! Praying for you💕
What you should be afraid of is not getting older” wow, such a great statement. My mom is 93 and I am so fearful for her. Now she is healthy, I am so grateful for her. I just decided I need to spend some time with her. Thank so much.
You are so brave and vulnerable. I can see how much you care. I am 65 years young and follow your beauty tips. No judgement for any age - our beauty can glow outwardly when we care for ourselves and feel good.
Thank goodness your grandfather went quickly and your grandmother soon after. My parents were married at 16 and my dad passed when they were 73. My mom started praying that day to join him but lived almost 14 years longer. She also had dementia and was nonverbal and non mobile the last three years. It broke my heart daily to know she just wanted to be with her love. It’s so hard to watch especially when you can’t do anything to help.
Gosh that is the most heartbreaking thing EVER. I agree that it was the best case scenario for them because after he passed, she only had to live with that grief for a few short months. Talking to her during those months were horrible though. I will never forget her pain and the sadness that the end of life can bring.
I just came across your channel for the first time. You're such a special, loving human being. What a blessing to have such a special relationship with your Grandparents and I'm so sorry for your loss and all the sadness involved. I can totally relate. Thank you for sharing with us.
Thanks for sharing your beautiful memories with your grandparents. How special to reflect on and hold dear. I think social media is damaging to self esteem. I think you are beautiful, love your personality! I have thin, fine hair and that is how I came across your channel. You have such great tips I am incorporating now in my 50's. Keep being you!!
Oh my Gabi I just wanted to give you a big hug. I am so sorry for the loss of your dear grandparents. Your grandfather had some very wise words, hold onto them. Time passes swiftly, I’m seventy four and I cannot believe how the years have gone by. I can’t imagine the hours you put in to being such a wonderful creator as yourself and how hard it is to stay “on” all the time. It’s good that you have shown the other part of you and I’m sure it helped others.I love your videos and appreciate your transparency and hard work. God bless you and your family….your boys are adorable ❤️
Omg.. I LOVE U! so glad I found you!thank u thank u thank u! I subscribed the 1st time I watched your vid on managing thinning hair, which was today! Then I found your vid on styling hair for over 50, which is so helpful, before stumbling on this video, all in one day, today! Your authentic and honest personality stands out to me. You're genuinely a good person and you care. You're beautiful inside out. Beautiful makeup btw. On point, not too heavy.
Oh honey, you are precious. Thank you for creating this amazing channel. But more so, thank you for sharing the beautiful story of your grandparents and the heartbreak you felt at their end of life. Grandparents too, are precious. Much love to you Gabi ❤
Thank you for sharing about your grandparents! I really needed to hear this today! I am going through the most difficult time of my life with my elderly mother. 🥲 Your grandfather was right, all the sudden you wake up and you’re older. Thanks! 💜🙏🏻💜
Wow! Thank you so much for sharing. That was really brave. And I learned a lot, not just about you but how sponsorships, the platform, etc work. Helpful. You have such a nice attitude about aging, and that is the only reason why someone might think you are older, not by the way you look. And then, people prob were jealous cause you LOOK GREAT. Love u and appreciate u and your content always
Thank you for hanging on to your integrity, that will ultimately make you rise to the top. Congrats! This the first time I have ever watched your video, it truly touched me. “I’ll be back “as arnie says .
I am in awe of your honesty and bravery. You, and women in general, have so many demands on them. Expressing your emotions is healthy and so is saying, "No." I love your channel and look forward to your videos!
I stumbled upon your videos a few weeks ago when I was searching hair cuts and I love your approach and honesty. This video here of you being vulnerable makes me have even more respect for you. I rarely watch videos from the same person, and I look forward to seeing yours. You are a beautiful soul and are helping so many women with your passion. God has gifted you to do this. There will always be haters and jealous people, let’s pray for them to realize being cruel is just a bad reflection on them at the end of the day. ❤
Thank you for being so vulnerable. I guarantee that you helped more than just one person with this video. It is hard to not let the negativity get to me as well. I tend to look for something I can take away that will make me a better person, but sometimes it’s just not there. Sometimes it’s a reflection of the writer and their own fears and history. You do you and keep giving zero f**ks! ❤
You are so beautiful - inside and out. I am 57 years-old and found your channel. You are helping me “age”. I am having the worst time finding a hairdresser and you are an Angel to help me through my hair woes. You are a blessing and my heart hurts for you. May God bless you and your family. I am so sorry for your loss. Thank you for being so vulnerable! 🩷🙏🏼🤍
Thank you to everyone who supports me and my channel. It is borderline killing me to launch this video but I am challenging myself to do it in hopes that it helps someone not feel alone during tough times. If you are going through something and want to share it, please feel free to do so here in the comments section. Be Kind.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Sometimes it takes a while until the grief really sets in, but when it does, it hurts more than anything in the world. I lost my grandparents back in 2019, and that didn't really hit me until late 2020... My grandpa was basically like a father to me, so it's been really hard.
But long story short, you are really strong & you'll be fine. ❤️ They are with you and always will be.
❤️🙏
🤗
Thank you for being real and relatable. We as a society are so willing to tear down each other. People seem to do that more easily to those they view as strong, happy, and 'together'. The fact that you are able to show your vulnerability even to those that may not appreciate it, speaks volumes about you. It shows that you are real and makes me enjoy watching you even more! Keep your chin up and thank you for all of your amazing talent.
@@abracadrabra6718 Thank you for your message. I am so sorry that you lost someone that you love too. I am sending you a hug.
Hi there beautiful! I am almost 71. A grandmother of 9! I want to tell you that hearing you speak about your grandparents and the wisdom your grandfather gave to you really blessed me. Thank you. I have been feeling afraid of aging. I look in the mirror and see someone with greying hair and wrinkles. It can be hard at times. But today I think how wonderful to be here. My husband and I share almost 37 years together. We like your grandparents share this wonderful journey. You my dear are so precious. Thank you for sharing your heart and your beautiful gift of helping people on life’s journey. God bless you.
I’m 72 and you could not have said this better! Gabi is beautiful!
I just turned 60 and my self esteem was low when I went searching for help on how to update my hair and makeup. That's when I found you and I am so grateful for you persevering through the trolls. I can't imagine being in your position. Just know that your pure intentions are deeply felt by those of us who are open to your beautiful light. I now look forward to getting ready in the mornings with your videos as my company and you as my guide. Your Grandparents were so blessed to have you as their granddaughter! Thank you Gabby. Thank you for being such a beautiful, graceful, and elegant beacon to so many!
Jesus Christ can get us through anthing
I just came across your channel by happenstance. I have end stage liver disease so I'm usually up all night & sleep all day. I watched like 5 of your videos back to back because I just turned 50 & though I'm in pain & tired, I still want to look good for the sake of my children & grandchildren. Once I started watching this one however, I'm like bawling crying like 30 seconds in. What a beautiful legacy & life your grandparents story left you with. Your warmth & love for them shines so epically through your words! Please know that even though I don't know you personally, you'll be in my thoughts & prayer & thank you for your vulnerability, it's given me so much more than a "how to look younger" vid. 🙏💜
You put everything in perspective. I’m praying for you.
Sending good thoughts and comfort to you❤
❤❤
🙏❤️
Healing energies to you. I'm so sorry you are going through this.
Sadly the world is populated with more ignorant and mean people than with smart and lovable ones😩. I absolutely LOVE your channel and treasure your generosity. I am 76 year old and in the few months since I discovered your channel, I have learned so much about hair, it has literally changed my life and helped me feel and look younger. So, please, NEVER forget how many people you are helping and when those nasty comments bring you down, have a glass of “adult” beverage and put a smile on your face thinking about all of us you are helping😍
...this is the first time watching this...how?...I don't know. I'm 73 and have been battling vertigo for the last two weeks, so I'm not driving, at the moment...and scrolling my computer seems to be my current sport. I need to watch your videos on makeup for the elder...wait, more mature folk. My main concern is whether I'll be able to hear your hints above the slurping sounds of my very interesting face, drinking in the creams...I cried with you...I remember when my grandparents departed this life and I loved them so much. I'm old enough that my folks, friends, and recently...my beloved husband have also departed. Life can be so difficult at times. Remember, we're all here for a reason. We may never know, on this side, what it is, but each one of us matters more than anyone understands. As far as the people who say harsh things and judge. You'll see those folks racing around Walmart in those carts, nearly knocking us all on the floor as they grumble and curse the very air around them. They have way worse problems than the rest of us and you will learn the art of eye rolling and quiet prayers for the unlovables in this world. Our time here is incredibly brief and each day is a gift. You are gorgeous and delightful. Keep sharing your heart. Blessings to you, sweet girl. 🥰
Amen to that!! So beautifully said❤
I don't think that there are more nasty people - they're just louder and intrude themselves on others' notice without caring about their feelings.
@@freidafree810 you poor thing I’ve been suffering with vertigo since 27 Dec take care x
Thank you. My exact thoughts too.
I am a grandma.
I breaks my heart to see your pain. I wish I had the perfect words of comfort. Please know that your grandparents would give anything to wipe your tears way. They will always be with you through loving memories. Hugs from this Kentucky grandma.
My deepest sympathies on your loss of your grandparents. I KNOW FIRST HAND what you are feeling. I am 55 and lost my 97 year old grandmother my "Nanny" in March of 2022. She was my life and has been my whole world since I was born. I took care of her and was there with her till her last breath. I wish you peace and happy memories to help take away the tears that just appear for no reason or from a smell, or a song. I love your make up videos and I will love them even more knowing you are so down to earth. Grandparents are the best! I only hope to be half of what my nanny was to me to my future grandchildren. Peace & Love
I am a new subscriber and I have NEVER left a comment on anyone's channel before.
I want to congratulate you on your ethics, and honesty. I understand sponsorships. As an interior designer, I have been asked so many times to promote products. If I don't like the company policies, the product, or if I like the product, I will speak about it with MY WORDS, not theirs.
I also related so much to you about your grandparents. I grew up with mine. I cried with you.I will be 70 soon, and I still miss them after 30 years.
I love your make-up and skin care tutorials for women my age. Looking natural with a warm glow is key. My mother is 87 and that is how she has always done her make-up. People think she is much younger.
You are a beautiful soul. Your gentleness and kindness shines through. Never change for anyone. If you ever need a shoulder...
You're just so lovely! I'm a farmer's wife in Australia, and as you'd imagine, most days I'm surrounded by blokes, dust and flies! I love watching your videos and occasionally putting a bit of makeup on and follow your tips to feel just a little bit more girly. So THANK YOU Gabi! X
Love this comment!

Same. From Northern California ❤️
Same in Idaho😊
Hi from Queensland !
So glad you posted this!!!! So so glad you said all of it!! You are a class act!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! People are jealous, envious, bored and just flat mean. Hiding behind a computer or phone is easy. If anyone met you in person they would never say those things to you! If they did you would clearly run in the other direction from the toxicity. Please keep doing what you do. You have over 180k subscribers because of you!!! Love your channel. Love your honesty. ❤
Thank you so much for taking the time to message me and leave such a sweet comment. You are right: people never say those things in real life. It's easy to hide behind a keyboard. I am sending a hug your way!
@@GlamGirlGabi and you have a huge hug from me! Love your channel, content. Beautiful girl inside and out with a beautiful family. Don’t lose sight of what’s important and those icky little people are unimportant in the big picture. Love ❤️
So sad for you, but happy that you had such a wonderful relationship with your grandparents. Those precious memories will be with you forever.
You are not who the world says you are, you are who I say you are. Thank you Jesus for setting me free from needing everyone else's approval to make me feel beautiful . You make me feel truly beautiful every day. I pray you find this same freedom Gabbi, because you have a beautiful heart, and I can see the light of Christ in it.
Huge hug from me too! You are adorable! I embraced my silver hair because of people like you. You are wise beyond your years my darling. Keep doing you! You are a class act.
On a separate note: I had an incredibly close relationship with my grandparents as well and when I lost them, it was beyond devastating. I couldn't talk about it for years.... without breaking into tears and reliving the loss.
I've learned that there is nothing anyone can say to take away the pain. Grief is a very solo journey... much like having the flu. Then one day you feel like you are feeling like yourself again. We also don't ever get over it, rather I pray that your heart grows to make room for it.
You are very special and so blessed to have felt that much love, that's truly what the grief represents.
I will leave you with my favorite quote from the inimitable Eleanor Roosevelt : "No one can ever make us feel bad, without our permission."
Stay true to you, as you always have and keep marching forward!
You Rock Gabby!!
@Glam Girl Gabby
Hi! I’ve been watching (and rewatching) your videos about a month. You are awesome! You have literally changed my look. I’ve been getting so many compliments. I’m turning 60 at the end of the year. I’ve been regretting seeing that Birthday. Thanks to you I am no longer regretting turning 60! You have given me the confidence, technique and the correct makeup for me to use. So I want to thank you! There are more people that appreciate you.
I hear you. Was supposed to retire, sell house move south with my husband. He passed away right before we did all this. I end up going alone living by my sister. It’s hard, l’m 68 and don’t know where l’m going. Yeah l couldn’t do what you do. You are brave and honest and l for one appreciate it.
Grief is a tricky visitor, a smell, a song, a sound, anything can trigger the sense of loss and deep grief Allow it visit for a little bit and then it will leave. You are lucky you had such a close relationship with them, cherish the memories, they're all around you 💖
How well said!
Dear Gabi,
My sincere condolences for the loss of your elderly grandparents.
I commend you for expressing your heart-ache and feelings. publicly…the devastation of your loss. You’re sharing ‘the human experience’. Never, ever underestimate the possibilities of your potential Gabi. I see you as authentic and would bet I’m not alone on that assumption. ‘Be bold, be brave’, beautiful soul. 💕 🦌 🕊️ 💜 ❤️ 🖤 🕊️ 🌷
P.S.
I’d bet your grandfather called you so often, not because of boredom, but of adoration For You, Gabi. XOX 💕
Dearest Gabi
I pray you would have peace through this time of grief after loosing your grand parents.
You are so precious! You are helping God's women get through the bad hair days!
Know how high, how deep, how wide and how long God's love is for you! Make sure you take off a day a week and enjoy your family! Go and see the movie Jesus Revolution. You will not regret it! Life is a series of tests and trials. God wants you to turn to Him for help. When it comes down to it - it is all about your soul! Where will you spend eternity? It wasn't until I cried out to God for help that He answered me. Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and all His righteousness and all these other things will be given you!
God wants your heart.
I ❤️ you very much and will keep you in prayer for God to comfort you the way only He can! Frances (former hairdresser)
Very well said!
My thirties were the hardest time in my life, both personally and professionally, and I was not a self-employed TH-cam content creator, trolled by anonymous non-subscribers, critiqued by ignorant strangers, or abused by brands. Thank you for sharing your experiences, and remember that miserable people want others to be miserable. They are toxic.
Yup, I always tell my kid, "hurting people, hurt people" (just like how you said "miserable people want others to be miserable") & it's so TRUE. You won't find a happy, well adjusted person trolling anyone, especially on TH-cam (as they are probably too busy with their wonderful life).
I just started watching you. I'm so impressed by your knowledge. You explain things so clearly & easily. You've made me want to try to look & feel better. You've lifted my spirits. It's so true that so many people "fake it till you make it" by trying to put a smile on their face. Meanwhile, they are feeling so bad & insecure about themselves. I know this because I live it everyday. You are a genuinely decent, lovely, beautiful woman. Both inside & outside. My heart is breaking for you losing your wonderful, loving grandparents. They will always be with you in spirit & in your heart. It's easy to say, screw all those trolls but I know it's hurtful to you. I'm so sorry there are so many horrible people in this world. Anyway, you're better than them in every way. Keep up the good work. Take care of you for a while. Your family loves you ❤ & that will be your strength.
Best always.
🥰 Hi, I’m so sorry about what happened with your grandparents. They were so blessed to have such a loving granddaughter.
I’m 73, I just watched a video of you doing the makeup of an older woman, she looked gorgeous.
I think that it’s good that you shared what is going on in your life-sometimes we need to get things out and cry, and hopefully you will receive a lot of genuine encouragement.
I liked hearing about how ethical you are with sponsors. I only follow a handful of people, in all different areas-but they are all ethical and genuine.
I will be following you. Also about the sponsors pushing people to lie and say things prematurely about their products-I didn’t know how bad it was-I’m glad that you shared that, it’s a burden. You need sponsors that you believe in.
I hope that as you continue to heal from the deeply emotional things that have happened-I hope that you will get back some or a lot of your confidence and be able to distance yourself emotionally from these abusive, hateful people.
It truly seems that there are more boldly hateful people than ever before. They have a problem.
God bless you, your family, and your channel.
❤️ Love and prayers 🙏
I'm 64 years old and have been following you for awhile. Your content has helped me and given me so many great tips for my hair and makeup... not to mention I truly enjoy them. Today your words were so truthful and heartfelt. As a mature woman who has lost many, I felt your grief and encourage you to feel it as well. You will never get over the loss, but you will reach a place of love and remembering. As for the haters, as women we are the worst... to each other and to ourselves. You are beautiful...inside and out. I personally thank you for all that you do on this channel. ❤
I RARELY write comments on youtube; perhaps 3 my whole life! I LOVE your channel, you are beautiful (and I can tell you're young ;), professional and I trust your overview of the products you present. I've bought a few different things at your recommendation and adore them. As a 50 year old high school teacher, I'm always shocked at how we can speak to each other over social media; not having to look the person in the eye and not allowing that person to rebuttal or defend themselves. Your insights to this career choice is truly eye opening; I lifted you up in prayer today.
Wow Katherine thank you so much for taking he time to leave me a message with so much insight. I am really thankful to have people like you on this channel. Being a content creator is a relatively new career and it is amazing in many ways but also incredible hard in others. I don't think anyone talks about it but the mental health struggles that come with it can be all consuming. I'm sending you a virtual hug.
Ppl are cruel. I love all your tips and tutorials. I’m 51 and have never really been good at the makeup game. I’m sorry for your loss. You are absolutely gorgeous and I thank u for sharing your knowledge with us. ❤❤
You are stunning even without make up. I recently started watching your channel and noticed that you do not make others or yourself look unrecognizable. You enhance their natural beauty, allowing their confidence and happiness to shine through. Your openess about your grandparents was heartwarming, especially to someone like me, whose grandparents died before I even understood what grandparents were. Thank you for all you do!! 🥰
It is such a shame how this world has switched from what used to be a higher number of kind people who would never try to hurt someone, to people who get off on cruelty to others. I respect how this makes you feel, and admire you for not letting them succeed in tearing you down, to the point of leaving. A lot of it is shear jealousy. Keep up what you do Gabi! I am also a hairstylist of 36 years. You are fantastic at everything you do. So sorry for the loss of your grandparents. Keep on keeping on!!!
It does feel like the world is getting crueler doesn't it Shelia? Thank you for your kind message and for taking the time out of your day to watch and support.
It’s because the end of this world is coming
So sorry for your loss! I am sorry to hear that bullying comments from unhappy people are taking a toll on your mental health... You’re a kind person, so mean and negative comments affect you greatly! Remember most of us love you and your channel. Warm wishes for you and your family!😍🥰❤️💗💙😘😍💕
Ditto. I also know there are professional haters whose job it is to just make horrible comments on channels of all kinds, so they aren’t actually authentic but horrible nonetheless.
You are beautiful & provide great content ❤️
@@wendynicholls6231 Amen, Sister!🙏
I'm so sorry for your loss. The way you present yourself and your content is a lovely testament to your grandparents. You are a beautiful young woman and the fact that you are taking the time and interest to help us aging women look and feel good about ourselves speaks of the person you are. So glad I found you!
You are beautiful! I love your heart, honest, and morals. Just know the haters are the ones that are jealous of not only your outward beauty, but your internal beauty. I just found you today when I searched how to transition to my natural gray hair. I will continue to follow you as I love your content.
I also want to give you my condolences about your grandparents. Children's relationships with Grandparents are some of the most important in the world. Hang onto all your memories with them. Best, Susan
I didn’t see an insecure woman in this video! I saw a STRONG, HUMBLE, BEAUTIFUL, LOVING woman!! When I have those days, I remember who I am in Christ! This scripture came to my mind after watching…Ephesians 6:12
King James Version
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
This chapter talks about the armor of God! Whatever your beliefs are,
I hope it encourages you❤! LOVE ALWAYS WINS!
Yes, yes, YES, Lisa!!!! 100000%, YES!!!
Firstly Gabi, please accept my sincere condolences on the loss of your dear Grandparents.
See you crying made me cry, as I could feel what a loving relationship you had. Thank you for being so honest in all the things you talked about.
I’m not sure I’ve ever commented here before. I only knew one Grandparent.
Both my husband and I were born to older parents, and so as we got older it was like looking after grandparents. All 4 of our parents passed away just before Covid. Mine 6 months apart, hubby’s just 3 months apart. It’s been devastating because we don’t have any close relatives, and no children. I’m 60 now, but when my in laws were sick, I landed in hospital and almost died. You are so wise when you say, one day you are young, and then you are old. I’m lucky to be 60 at this point. Facing death makes you realize the truly important things in life. Your children, husband, friends, parents, that’s all that matters. At 60, the one thing I’ve learned is that there are a lot of messed up people in this world. They do not feel good about themselves, so they criticize YOU! It’s not about you, it’s about them. They are going to make you feel bad about yourself. Knock you down a few rungs, in hopes that you’ll feel badly like they do.
Looking at someone so young and beautiful such as yourself can make you feel less than if you are not young and pretty, but that’s my problem if I feel that way. A comment that is mean, is not an “ opinion”, it’s just a mean comment that does NOT serve anyone in any way. You have a right to delete that. And I wish you would. I want to see positivity but also honesty from you, and in the comments. That’s called civil society, which seems to be disappearing.
You have a right to make a living Gabi.
Thank you for posting such quality content and for sharing tips for aging skin and hair. I appreciate you VERY much.
Tracey
Very well said.
I agree totally! This is my first time watching her videos and my heart breaks for how society today is so disrespectful to each other. When are we going to just love everyone and show kindness to each other? We should be encouraging each other and building each other up not tearing each other down. I hope she is able to take some time to get a support system. Everyone needs that. I think she is very beautiful and sweet. And being kind on the inside shows she has great integrity which this world needs more of today. I'll be praying for her
Hi Gabby, this is my first time watching your videos. I am so sorry for your loss watching your video and seeing you cry brought back my feelings for the loss of my parents during Covid. I lost my mom and dad a week apart. A double funeral was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. Losing your love ones takes a very large part of you. The only thing that gets me through is my faith. Well, I don’t know where you are in your faith. but I will definitely be praying for you. Grieving is a very hard thing to go through but on a different note, I am a hairstylist, and I’ve been in the business 35 years . And in that 35 years I have been a divorced, single mom my son is 20 so my journey I feel very lonely. And every time I look at myself in the mirror, I see myself looking older. Your videos have helped me and inspired me to do my make up erent, but I find I’m very sensitive as I get older around my eyes. So if you have any advice for aging sensitive eyes, please keep me in mind thank you and keep up the awesome work you do for us girls in our different journeys, of life, Your videos are very Helpful you have brought hope and joy to my life with your tips and tricks. I love your videos don’t ever stop . Thank you
I recently lost my Mom. Nothing prepares you for watching the people who raised you; cared for you; loved you; get old and sick and die. It’s been the hardest time of my life. I’m sorry for your loss❤️
I lost my mom four months ago and the pain is still very bad. I lost my dad in 1970. He was only 39. But losing a mother - she gives you life, she teaches you everything she knows in hopes it will help you in your life ahead. She sacrifices everything for her children. It is very, very hard. I believe the only thing harder would be to lose my husband.
I'm so sorry for your loss and your pain, and for what Gabi is feeling.
@@carolwalsh2181
I read this quote once ( I don’t know who said it)-“I knew I was no longer a child when my mother died. I knew there would never again be anyone who would always put me before themselves.” That really hit home 😢
Oh Carol, I'm so sorry for your loss
@@elenadupuis5124 wow, this really got me. It’s so accurate. ❤
I lost my mom and dad, but the worst for me was losing my 20 year son. He was murdered. If we put life in perspective... those are the big things.
Thank you for your honesty Gabi. I am so sorry for your loss. I am have just had my 70th birthday and try not to dwell on the future but enjoy and appreciate the present as much as I can. Always though as we age we are aware at some level of what our future might be. I live in hope and choose to trust my faith and belief in God whenever other thoughts intrude. I know that none of us are promised a perfect ending in this world but my hope is in the hereafter. I hope your grandparents had faith and that you do also. It has helped me through so many tough times in my life. You are BEAUTIFUL by the way. I was very lucky to look very young at your age just as you do and throughout my life until hitting 60. I hope you keep on doing your videos. You are very much appreciated.
I’m a brand new viewer… and trying to imagine anyone criticizing your appearance is beyond baffling to me. You’re gorgeous inside & out! How could anyone be prettier?? I can’t even imagine.
Your beauty is what brought me to your channel. My mother owned a beauty salon on cosmetic company for 50 years. Your content is spot on! The haters can just move on. It's easy to make nasty comments behind a keyboard. Your beauty, sincerity and confidence are what I enjoy! You continue to be yourself and don't apologize for your natural beauty!!! Much peace & love!!!
I TRULYTHINK SOME OF THOSE HATERS ARE JEALOUS BEAUSE SHE IS A GOREGOUS LADY. SHE DOESNT EVEN LOOK 36. I WOULD HAVE GUESSED LATE 20S OR 30.
I am so sorry for the loss of your grandparents. At 73 I have lost family and friends and it's heartbreaking. I do love what your grandfather said and I will try to remember that. Gabi, you are one of my favourites and I respect what you say and show us. I now realise so many don't vet a product and then it becomes a "fail" later. That is so frustrating to me--especially after I've purchased it. Please take a deep breath, know that you are very. much appreciated by most and keep going.
I stopped scrawling the second I saw your face. These are challenging times , it is all about changes. At a collective level most of us are directed to change our perspectives on how we view the world around us but what part we play as individuals as well. I truly believe you are answering your calling. This channel is unique, real and VERY MUCH NEEDED. You speak from the heart and are touching on a subject THAT WE ALL CAN RELATE. A safe place to do so. You are connecting with many. That is your calling!! GOD BLESS YOU!! THANK YOU!❤❤❤
I appreciate your authenticity today. You give tips for women who want to be as beautiful as they are by enhancing their face with the talents you have worked hard to learn. People come in and judge you, your model choices and your being young, your botox, your eyebrows. just whatever they can find to instill negativity into your vibe, these people do not like themselves, sadly thesenpeople are treating you how they feel about themselves, and no amount of tips you are sharing are going to help them, at the end of the day we all know that beauty abounds inside out. Your sharing about your grandparents touched me, reminded me of family I have loved and lost, I cried, I needed that, and your a beautiful soul!! Be Blessed, thank you. Best Piper Coleman
Not everyone gets old. My mum passed suddenly at age 42. Went for a walk to the hairdresser and that was it... I was just 20 back then. Life is tough when we lose people we love. Sending hugs your way xx
I'm sorry for your loss of your mom.
You're so right. Not everyone is blessed to get old.
I was 15 when I lost my mom, she was 42 as well. She struggled with mental issues and was trapped in a bad marriage with a man who only gave her $1 a day (it was the 80s and cigarettes cost a dollar back then). Anyway, she committed suicide when she purposely knelt in front of an AM Track train. It’s still painful to even think about.
@Falcon Eddie I'm deeply sorry for your loss. I lost my husband at the age of 43 to suicide.
It is much different than a traditional death. I too, am pained to think about it.
God bless you.
I’m so sorry to hear that. Stay strong everyone ❤
You are so blessed to have such a connection with your grandparents. Many grandchildren don’t have special grandparents. Thank God for the love you received from them.
I just found you last week when looking for a hair video on whether or not to cut bangs and best looks for me at 70 years old. I loved how you devoted so much of your time to speak to us that are more mature with tips and tricks for beauty advice. I see now where your love for my age population comes from. Well, I subscribed to your channel right then and there and am so glad I did.
I cried along with you during this video as I remembered those that I have loved and lost. I am sorry for your loss of two very prominent and present people in your life.
You are beautiful and genuine and matter to so many of us here. Thanks for your vulnerability and posting this heartfelt dialogue with us.
I'm 52 and so so happy I found you! We need to flood you with good comments to take away from the bad. Takes a lot of good to remove small amount of bad. Thank you for being so beautiful. What a blessing you were to your grandparents and such a blessing to us. May God greatly bless you and heal you. 💗
Remember that during the first part of your video you talked about really matters the most in life, which is the love between families and friends and people's ❤️ hearts and being with the ones you love. The older I get the more I realize that love of God, others and self supports everything else we do! #1. You are doing alright sister!
🙏 🙏 🙏 Amen
I had a son who was 20 and never got older. Your grandpa gave you really really good advice.😢
I'm very sorry for the loss of your beloved son. Twenty is far too young to leave this earth. 💔😟🙏🏻
Hugs from Tasmania 😔🙏♥️♥️♥️
And memories. Do not let people bother you. Some people are green eyed monsters. You do you. You ate beautiful band talented.
Hugs ❤ I lost my 36 year old son to covid in 2020. Some days are easier than others.
Hi Gabi! I recently discovered your channel and came across this video. While watching, tears rolled down my cheeks and I never cry. I’m so very sorry for your loss. You are blessed that you had loving grandparents. So many of us have not. It’s a true blessing. Thank you for being real and vulnerable. You are a sweetheart. I love your channel! You are doing a great job despite all the difficulties. Stay strong and God Bless You!! 🙏🙏
Thank you for hanging in there! You are beautiful and a breath of fresh air. There are people who think stepping on someone else makes them bigger, when in reality, they truly show how small they are. I just started watching you and hope you’re around for a long time. Your honesty and morals are greatly appreciated.
Thank you for sharing everything that you do, for us, Gabi. I can tell you from the experience I had a few yrs ago of my husband dying traumatically after an outpatient procedure gone wrong to my son taking his own life last year, that life is not always how we expect it to be. And we learn from these terribly hard things to give ourselves grace. When no one else is there, you have to love yourself enough to take care of you every day, every minute, every breath, whatever that means for you. And eventually you find a peace in the eye of the storm, and you know you will be ok.
Be ok, girl, take care of you. You have to put on your own oxygen mask before you help anyone else❤
I'm so sorry for the losses of your dear husband and son! You must be strong to cope with that kind of grief. 💔😟🙏🏻
I am so sorry for your losses and heartache, Kathy.
Wishing you peace, love and strength x
Gabi, I just finished watching this video and wanted to tell you first off that I think you are absolutely beautiful. And how your platform on TH-cam changed my hair and my life. I am almost 70 and started losing my hair, when I started searching for videos and found you. I knew I wasn't alone and you didn't have to be 70 to have thinning hair. I bought some of the hair tools and products you recommended (Tymo Hot Air Brush) by the way I had purchased a hot air brush in the past but didn't know how to use it correctly till I saw your video. My husband of 32 years said this was the best my hair has looked in all those years. So thank you for all of your help and advice in making me feel sooo much better about myself.
I bought it and love it as well! 😊
I just today found your channel this is #3 I watched. I lost my father this past November and my mother 4 years ago. It is very hard loosing those you love very much. The reason you miss the
So much is that you were so much a part of their lives. You loved them well!!!!!
I’m 73 just found you and love you! Thanks for all your hard work and I wish could mend all your hurts 🥰 Try to use them for good. 💖 What a wonderful world it would be if everyone was kind…hurt people, hurt people. Blessings
Gabi, you are a brave woman with an abundance of integrity. The naysayers are tremendous teachers, nothing more. They help you understand why compassion and empathy is crucial and judgement is useless and unproductive. Your content is valuable and well received. Consider yourself, as a thirty something woman to be blessed. The social media challenges will never go away but your response can evolve with time. You truly are an amazing woman!
Not me crying before 10am! The Grandparent loss is a hard one that even with time always hurts. Love your grandpa's outlook on one bad yr for a lifetime of good ones. Love these vulnerable videos ❤️
Thanks Summer. I am sorry for starting your morning with tears but sometimes we all just need a solid cry right! I am happy that it was only a couple of challenging years for a whole lifetime of happiness. I hope that I am so lucky.
❤️
I loved his outlook as well.
You mentioned that your husband is an engineer, I am too. I’ll try to reassure you with the following. In my professional office job of 15+ years, I’ve experienced so much bombardment of criticism, snide attitudes, hurtful feedback, etc. The nastiness is EVERYWHERE.
I hope you understand my intention here, feel comforted that your suffering is not exclusive to your type of work, we’re all battling through the jungle of life, have heart!
OMG I NEEDED this. I own a small store and people have no idea how much work goes on that customers don't see. I work a 12hr day, someone comes in and sees me sitting for lunch, but something in the store isn't done and gets nasty comments that I'm lazy. You are SO RIGHT. It bites and sticks more now than it used to. I am about to go put my happy face on, again, I will work my butt off all day, again, and it WON'T be enough, again. But I also have a family so here I go, again. Peace and love to you, both of us.
You are a gorgeous soul! Your videos have helped me feel confident about my extremely thin hair that doesn't seem to grow. Most content creators show up here with long luscious manes pushing the latest lip gloss as the solution to all your troubles. But you are honest and caring and get real, sharing your professional and personal experience in benefit of your viewers. I truly appreciate you and your advice. I'm a text translator and also work alone from home all day, you are great company to me and make me feel in touch with real beauty trends, like a friend at school! "Those who mind, don't matter, and those who matter, don't mind," said the great Dr. Seuss. Sending you big hugs with lots of love!
THEY ARE JEALOUS BECAUSE SHE IS HOT. EVEN HER BODY IS NICE.
I love that Dr Seuss quote too - thanks for the reminder😍
I'm in my sixties and your genuine love for your Grandparents is so touching💕. This is part of life. The tough part.. God bless you and your family. Memories of them will always be a part of you. They helped to mold you into the wonderful person you are💕. Family and love are so important. I cried when I saw this video. I loved my Grandma. She passed when I was 27 years old. Her memory lives inside if me!! She was the only Grandparent I remember! Their gift to you was Love!
Sweet Gabi, bless your tender heart!! I'm a 71 yo grandma & know that aging has its difficulties. But I love how you try to make us "oldies" look and feel better. Thank you for your openess & loving heart. Never change!
I’m so very sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you. 🙏🏻❤️
I'm so sorry for your loss and pain. This is a very tough time. Thank you for being honest and vulnerable. I will keep you in my prayers.
So sorry for your loss.. heartbreaking to see you cry. As far as the horrible comments that you are reading on your channel, most people do not feel that way. You are doing such a wonderful job on your content in which I learn so much even at 55. I Thank you for that. You are very genuine and authentic. Don’t change. Love from BC. Q🇨🇦🥰
I am new to your channel and wanted to say thank you for putting this out there and for sharing all of this with us. As someone who doesn't create content, I have no idea what you all go through and can only imagine. Thank you for being vulnerable. I'm so sorry you lost both of your grandparents and sending you virtual hugs.
How beautiful you are to show your vulnerability. It will help some to realize that you are human too, not just a beauty queen. There will always be the mean people, insecure in themselves, that attack others to make themselves feel important. I am sorry that you have to experience that. It happens to teachers a lot. Continue to be the model in classy behavior as well as glamour. I am sorry about your grandparents. Both my grandparents and my parents have passed. I am glad for the good times you had with yours, and sad for the lack for time. Enjoy who is left, encouraging their stories for you to remember for a lifetime. Peace and kindness to you
It's so hard losing the people closest to us. I lost my Mom in 2010 and my Dad in 2017, and my life has never been the same. You're stunningly beautiful, intelligent and youre a wonderful person. You are carrying out a legacy for your family. Just remember how proud they are of you! I'm so thankful for you and your over 50 tips. I've been sick and haven't worn makeup in a long time and you help so much! Your subscribers love you!! ❤️💋
Oh Gabi , the pain of grief is something we all experience. It's so awful but you are not alone. Although no words can take away the sorrow that you bare. May it be comforting to you to know that all ur followers care. God be with you and your family...
Hi - I love your channel, and subscribed the minute I found it. I am closing in on 60 years old, and the last few years has been very hard taking care of my mother because of her failing healt. She passed away a couple of months ago, and it has left a big hole in my life. Still, I try to stay positive, and tell my self I will now have more time to take care for myself now. I have never before really cared that much about how I look, because I did not feel my age really showing - realtively smooth skin, and no grey hair. Also I more often than not went for the no makeup look. However, the last few years has taken its toll, and after menopause, I can now detect the signs of aging, and I have realized that I am not forever young. That is why I love your channel so much - I am inspired to see that even as we age, we can embrace where we are in life, make the best of it, and wear the beauty of wisdom with pride... with a little help from you :-) I am so very greatful :-) I also think it took a lot of courage to post this very honest video. Thank you for keeping the good content coming, in spite of advercity. I am a freelancer, and I understand how lonely it can get, and that bad comments will inevitably creep in some times. Hopefully you also read the good comments :-) I trick I have used when the confidence gets low, and I need a pick me up, is to collect some really good feedback, and when the lows are setting in, I take out the good feedback, read it again, and reflect upon it. That makes me feel better, and helps me move on with more happiness, motivation and vigour.
Just recently discovered you on this channel. I was so touched by your video. I could not turn away. Your message touched my heart ❤
You are an amazing young woman and have made your grandparents very proud. Keep doing what you are doing and be proud of the values that you have learned from them. Love,peace and joy to you
Not a regular here but you popped up today.Divune intervention?
I'm nearly 65 and my father recently passed away with a combination of struggles both your dear grandparents.
We are never ready for their passing no matter our age or relationships we have with them.
I cried along with you even before you bravely shared your heart.
Know that you helped me release more of my grief but also allowed me to feel more of the love in my heart and gratitude for the love we all share for each other as a collective.
Sending you and your family heartfelt condolences and cherish the memories as you travel your journey with your family .
THANK you for your video and bless you.
Girl, I am almost ten minutes in while starting to write this, and I am crying so much. My heart aches for you because I know how hard it is to lose a grandparent, and all growing up, you had the biggest heart! I wish there was a way to just wipe all the pain away, but if you just take the hits as they come and let the waves of emotion wash over you even through the tears, those memories bring you closer to them and eventually bring you peace so you can smile when you think about them. I know that's wordy, but it's true. My grampa passed in October, and I still find myself crying and wishing he would call and bother me again. I'd give anything to stay on a call with him for an hour trying to figure out how to get his music on his ipod, but then I also find comfort from knowing he's no longer in pain. I know this type of content isn't what you're normally comfortable with, but I'm grateful you were brave enough to do it. It wasn't the way I planned to spend my morning, but I'm glad I got the opportunity to! I really want to re-connect in the near future. We need to get the trio back together because life is hard, and we need to support the people we love. You and your arched brows are absolutely beautiful!! You're not alone either I hope you know that! ❤️💕
Tiffani thank you so much for taking the time to leave that comment and for spending the morning with me. It's the little things isn't it? I would do anything now to feel annoyed at him for calling me 5 times in a row when I was in the middle of doing a wedding party. And then half the time when I picked up, he was half out of frame on the Ipad because he didn't know how to centre himself on the screen. HAHAHA! I know one day I will think about all of this and it will make me feel happy. But right now it just makes me feel tremendous sadness. One foot at a time right? You can fast forward through grief.
Thank you for being real!!!…..I’m also a hair stylist! No one realizes what it’s like trying to please people, (mostly women ) all day long! ❤
It can be a lot. It’s incredibly draining sometimes.
Oh, women are the worst. And oh my yes, utube is not fun. Hats off to all who do it!
I just found your videos recently and subscribed and enjoy them. You shared your honest feelings with class and dignity. It’s a challenging business you’re in because when we put ourselves out there in the public domain, there’s always bound to be criticism. Thank you for sharing your grieving process from the loss of your beloved grandparents. About your tattoo, if you continue to feel that it doesn’t suit you, there’s always laser tattoo removal. You may not want it when you’re much older. Best wishes to you. You’re a beautiful lady.
You were so blessed to have such wonderful grandparents who lived long lives. I love your grandfather's sayings!!! You're going through a rough patch but it will get easier. Hang in there girl.
I know! I am so lucky to have had them for as long as I did. I will always think about all the words of wisdom they gave me and how much they made me feel loved. What a tremendous gift I was given.
I’m proud of you for challenging yourself to post this even though it’s been super hard. Your grandpa sounded soooooooooo full of wisdom! It’s so hard seeing grandparents and loved ones pass and go through that journey of life. It’s incredibly tough. I feel happy for you to have had those memories and special bond with your grandparents. I highly suggest looking into personal therapy if you’re not already going…. Look into the different types of therapy, like somatic and edmr and psychodynamic and dbt .. cbt is the average but I think there are better! Those specializing in IFS are my favorite!!!!! Many can feel shame when thinking of therapy, but it’s just a way to explore yourself deeper with someone neutral and educated, an expert! Also it’s important to find someone you fit well with, it isn’t like just finding one will be your best fit automatically. Knowing if you want a straightforward type that challenges you or calls you out OR one that listens patiently and is more of a presence and understanding and let’s YOU lead, knowing what’s best for you will help loads and asking what type they are during the interview 15 minutes will help you find a good fit. You sharing is important for yourself and others too. Keep going. Day by day, hour by hour if need be. Life is beautiful and messy and tough and exciting and hard and wonderful…. But at times we need more support, more than just friends and family. Also I wanna mention that those comments that stick and trigger, there’s some part within that’s rooted deeply with insecurity and fear, maybe fear of not being seen and understood (basic natural human need!) or an insecure of being misinterpreted.. and this can trigger deep wounds from childhood, etc. When those comments stick, it’s sticking for a reason. There’s an inner part struggling with what was said and that inner part has a truth and needs to be heard and validated. IFS (internal family systems) is ALL about recognizing internal parts and helping them and seeing them… this process can help change how we react subconsciously too. So this deep inner work (that therapy just assists with - like a dentist assisting with teeth health) helps us unlock our deeper selves understand ourself better and find ways to help ourselves, which makes us a better person and parent and partner ❤❤❤
Gabi, praying for God's peace to comfort you. May the memory of your loved ones be eternal. You're a very gifted young woman.
Hugs from a "mom type". I am using some of your videos to show, encourage and teach ladies in my barbershop chorus how great they can look and to be more comfortable with makeup. Many are over 70 and have never worn makeup and need to wear a full face with lashes for a big multistate contest. From us mom and grandma ladies, thank you for helping to beautify us and many hugs and appreciation from us to you! We sing "Believe" from Polar Express so listen to it and Believe in all the good around you; "There's so much to celebrate". Your grandparents will always be with and a part of you! I'm 61 and it's a tough thing to age but you're helping!
You share beauty and wisdom so often. Thank you for sharing pain and memories, too. And so much love. It really shines through.
Your grandparents must have been wonderful. Grief is the price we pay for love, Elizabeth II said, and it's so true.
Hugs to you and your family.
And considering social media: it's great and helpful and informative - and it's a paradise for mean people. Thank you for your honesty, and I'm certain you'll get stronger again and these comments won't affect you.
Gosh that really hit home. "Grief is the price we pay for love." Love is such a profound and incredible thing that I would take it all in order to continue to get the kind of love I have been lucky enough to receive in my life. I think you're also right about it not affecting me as I get stronger. I am just a little fragile at the moment so things hit harder. I am getting there though. Thank you for taking the time to leave me such an insightful and helpful comment.
It's sad that people can't just "stay in their lane". As a recovering people pleaser, I have struggled with being OK with just being me. I love Brene Brown's talk about how to stop giving your power away to critics. Stay strong and keep embracing YOUR glam Gabi!
Hey.. I'm from Guyana right next door to Brazil.. so sorry for your loss. But I'm very encouraged by your resilience . Keep it up.also I appreciate the feedback on starting TH-cam career. Thank you!!. Your honesty is rare.. I'm sure you will be reward by God for it. Love listening to your channel.😊😊
So sorry for your loss. What a blessing to have had such a wonderful loving relationship with your grandparents. I can feel them smiling down on you with pride for the beautiful brave and generous woman you are. Thank you for your videos and honesty.
So sorry for your Loss. My sincere Condolences. Prayers and BLESSINGS.
How caring and warm you are as you speak you share with a greatful heart thank you it is healing to cry a share and we you audience care that you suffer from Adelaide South Australia thanks
I cried so much, even though I don’t know you personally I relate to your story so much, I myself moved to Canada and my grandparents live in other country and I lost my most beloved grandpa during Covid, of course I wasn’t allowed to go to a funeral or say goodbye as he was at the hospital when he died. I still grieve now 2 years later and watching this video made me cry out loud 😢 Wishing you strength ❤ Sending you love from another fellow Canadian
I have never come across your channel before and I watched a couple others before this one. Thank you for choosing to use your passion in life to help others. Thank you for sharing your beautiful soul with the world. The ones that judge you are really judging themselves and don’t know how to see love in others and in themselves. So sad for them. You, on the other hand, have much to be admired for well beyond what the eyes can see in a video. You are not alone, especially now. I’m sorry you feel sadness for your grandparents, but they are with you so much more now than before. Keep shining your light sweet girl for your grandparents and for the rest of us! ❤
❤🙏 You are so beautiful and so brave for making this video. I just started following you and I love your sensitivity and honesty and your beautiful heart. Thank you so much for helping women to look and feel their best when they don’t feel secure and young. You have made a huge difference in my life and I am very grateful for you and your channel! ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
So sorry for your loss. What a blessing to have such wonderful memories as comfort.
Thank you for a Wonderful Eye Opening Video!
I am so grateful to TH-cam for so many many wonderful, creative and super talented people like you (influencers) who have made my life so much better just by watching you and them!
I know I speak for hundreds, (probably thousands during Covid) of us, who sometimes remain silent and don’t let you guys know how much you are appreciated, loved, admired, and respected… we are sooo very grateful for your videos and their content!
To you and all of you hard working TH-cam people who can write, produce and star in your own Show….You guys are incredible! Honestly, how many people can remain interesting and relevant week after week, even year after year?! That’s amazing.
We look forward to seeing your beautiful faces and charming personalities and wonderful content. I have learned so much about practically everything because of awesome people like you that bring so much knowledge into my life.
And we certainly hope that the “bullies on the block” don’t scare you away…. and there always are bullies of some kind or another, …because then they win ! And WE lose! In reality, there are a handful of them and hundreds of us that count on you each week!
So please ignore them because we need more “good” in our lives instead of bad.
Please remember this when you see a negative comment… and think of music, and how we each have different tastes in songs… and just imagine that person doesn’t like the same music you do… so without judgment just ask them to “change the channel”.😂
Sorry for your terrible loss!❤
Brilliantly put 🙏❤️
Thanks for being so honest. I’m fairly new to your channel. My first impression was that I liked you and that you seemed authentic. I then became a subscriber. I appreciate the difficulties you talk about being a content creator. I personally couldn’t do it or deal with the issues. I just want you to know that you come off as very easy to relate to. You cannot make everyone happy or have everyone like you. That’s true for all of us. Just be yourself. If what you’re doing for a living is dragging you down, find something else. We luckily have choices in this world.
I've just discovered your channel and enjoy your content and advice. I found your content in this video, regarding content creation and managing a TH-cam channel very enlightening. You're a beautiful young woman, and a very gifted makeup artist. Thank you for sharing that.
So sorry about your grandparents. Its funny how we think we're okay with loss, then grief can sneak up on us in ways we don't expect. You're so blessed to have such wonderful memories of your grandparents. You obviously brought a lot of joy into each other's lives. May God bless you, and bring you peace. ❤
I am so appreciative of your honesty!! I totally understand how hard all of those comments much be! I have been in that space where I’ve heard 100 great comments, but the one not so bad comment is all is focus on. And that’s not even on a platform, but just real life. I know you already know those people that say nasty comments are unhappy themselves … hurting people hurt people. I watch you because you’re a bad ass at what you do and I am drawn to your beauty, sass and style. Not to mention I’ve struggled with hair loss. I am one of those more mature women that follow you - I’m 57 and I learn so much from your channel. I wish I could erase your brain from those thoughts i know I’m rambling. Just wanted to let you know that I support and respect you. Please keep being you! Do you! I love your eyebrows! Damn haters.
Thanks so much for sharing this with us. I’m 51 and lost my grandparents when I was in my 20’s and I still miss them, but am grateful for every memory of them. Please don’t let mean comments stick to your heart. You’re wonderful and they don’t deserve a place there! Praying for you💕
What you should be afraid of is not getting older” wow, such a great statement. My mom is 93 and I am so fearful for her. Now she is healthy, I am so grateful for her. I just decided I need to spend some time with her. Thank so much.
You are so brave and vulnerable. I can see how much you care. I am 65 years young and follow your beauty tips. No judgement for any age - our beauty can glow outwardly when we care for ourselves and feel good.
Thank goodness your grandfather went quickly and your grandmother soon after. My parents were married at 16 and my dad passed when they were 73. My mom started praying that day to join him but lived almost 14 years longer. She also had dementia and was nonverbal and non mobile the last three years. It broke my heart daily to know she just wanted to be with her love. It’s so hard to watch especially when you can’t do anything to help.
Gosh that is the most heartbreaking thing EVER. I agree that it was the best case scenario for them because after he passed, she only had to live with that grief for a few short months. Talking to her during those months were horrible though. I will never forget her pain and the sadness that the end of life can bring.

🙏💜
You had me crying with you 😢so sorry for your losses. Keep up the good work, your videos are amazing and so are you!
I just came across your channel for the first time. You're such a special, loving human being. What a blessing to have such a special relationship with your Grandparents and I'm so sorry for your loss and all the sadness involved. I can totally relate. Thank you for sharing with us.
Thanks for sharing your beautiful memories with your grandparents. How special to reflect on and hold dear. I think social media is damaging to self esteem. I think you are beautiful, love your personality! I have thin, fine hair and that is how I came across your channel. You have such great tips I am incorporating now in my 50's. Keep being you!!
I was crying with you Gabi, you are beautiful inside and out, thank you for your work on TH-cam. Hugs from Australia
Oh my Gabi I just wanted to give you a big hug. I am so sorry for the loss of your dear grandparents. Your grandfather had some very wise words, hold onto them. Time passes swiftly, I’m seventy four and I cannot believe how the years have gone by. I can’t imagine the hours you put in to being such a wonderful creator as yourself and how hard it is to stay “on” all the time. It’s good that you have shown the other part of you and I’m sure it helped others.I love your videos and appreciate your transparency and hard work. God bless you and your family….your boys are adorable ❤️
Omg.. I LOVE U! so glad I found you!thank u thank u thank u! I subscribed the 1st time I watched your vid on managing thinning hair, which was today! Then I found your vid on styling hair for over 50, which is so helpful, before stumbling on this video, all in one day, today! Your authentic and honest personality stands out to me. You're genuinely a good person and you care. You're beautiful inside out. Beautiful makeup btw. On point, not too heavy.
Thank you for sharing this story! So personal and may God bless you!
Oh honey, you are precious. Thank you for creating this amazing channel. But more so, thank you for sharing the beautiful story of your grandparents and the heartbreak you felt at their end of life. Grandparents too, are precious. Much love to you Gabi ❤
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave me such a sweet comment. It really does mean the world to me. ❤
Thank you for sharing about your grandparents! I really needed to hear this today! I am going through the most difficult time of my life with my elderly mother. 🥲 Your grandfather was right, all the sudden you wake up and you’re older. Thanks! 💜🙏🏻💜
Wow! Thank you so much for sharing. That was really brave. And I learned a lot, not just about you but how sponsorships, the platform, etc work. Helpful. You have such a nice attitude about aging, and that is the only reason why someone might think you are older, not by the way you look. And then, people prob were jealous cause you LOOK GREAT. Love u and appreciate u and your content always
Thank you for hanging on to your integrity, that will ultimately make you rise to the top. Congrats! This the first time I have ever watched your video, it truly touched me. “I’ll be back “as arnie says .
I am in awe of your honesty and bravery. You, and women in general, have so many demands on them. Expressing your emotions is healthy and so is saying, "No." I love your channel and look forward to your videos!
Saying no is healthy....let's say that louder for the people in the back. I have SUCH a hard time with this.
I stumbled upon your videos a few weeks ago when I was searching hair cuts and I love your approach and honesty. This video here of you being vulnerable makes me have even more respect for you. I rarely watch videos from the same person, and I look forward to seeing yours. You are a beautiful soul and are helping so many women with your passion. God has gifted you to do this. There will always be haters and jealous people, let’s pray for them to realize being cruel is just a bad reflection on them at the end of the day. ❤
Thank you for being so vulnerable. I guarantee that you helped more than just one person with this video. It is hard to not let the negativity get to me as well. I tend to look for something I can take away that will make me a better person, but sometimes it’s just not there. Sometimes it’s a reflection of the writer and their own fears and history. You do you and keep giving zero f**ks! ❤
You are so beautiful - inside and out. I am 57 years-old and found your channel. You are helping me “age”. I am having the worst time finding a hairdresser and you are an Angel to help me through my hair woes. You are a blessing and my heart hurts for you. May God bless you and your family. I am so sorry for your loss. Thank you for being so vulnerable! 🩷🙏🏼🤍
