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 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. 🙏💜

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

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 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.

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. ❤❤

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...

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😍

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

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 💖

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. ❤

My thirties were the hardest time in my life, both personally and professionally, and I was not a self-employed KZfaq 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.

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.

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 💕

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

🥰 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 🙏

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

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!!!

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❤️

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!! 🥰

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 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'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!

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!

I''m not sure if you'll see my comment since this video is from a year ago and I'm just seeing it now. First, I wanted to reach out and give you the BIGGEST HUG. Your sharing about your grandparents was so heartful and so true. When you are young, you feel like the people and things you love will be with you forever. It's not that you necessarily take things for granted, but you are going through life at your pace and cannot possibly think about loss in your every day. I think that would freeze people. It's just not realistic. You are so lucky to have had the relationship you did and for so long a period, into your adult life. Many of us don't get that chance. On a second note, you are so helpful and so sincere in your presentations. I truly appreciate that. Of COURSE you're not hiding jowls, age spots and things that someone 10-20-30 + years older than you have. Each decade brings you something else... but you really need to appreciate how far you've come and love your age. STAY STRONG & BE WHO YOU ARE. DO NOT LET ALL THE MISERABLE TROLLS, and thankfully they are in the minority, change that for you. Sending HUGS ... thank you for sharing this video. I adore you even more! xoxo

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.

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

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.

I know this was a year ago but don’t let anyone take away your beauty and positivity. If they don’t agree with you or dislike what you do, that is their problem. You are beautiful with a awesomeness personality.

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!

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.

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

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!! 🙏🙏

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 had a son who was 20 and never got older. Your grandpa gave you really really good advice.😢

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

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.

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.

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❤

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! ❤

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!❤❤❤

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 ❤️

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.

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.

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 KZfaq 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 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.

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!!!!!

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'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!

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

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!

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! ❤️💕

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.

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

Have been watching you for the past several months. Thank you for your videos. I am so sorry for your loss. You have been so blessed to have shared your life with your grandparents. I only knew one grandmother who passed when I was nine years old, but what I would have given to have grown up knowing my grandparents, and having my children to have known them. God bless you, Darling, may God hold you tightly as you deal with your grief. He will be your comfort and strength and get you through this time. But envelope the wonderful good memories. They will be there forever! You and your family are in our prayers!🙏

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!

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!

Gabi, I just recently found your channel and love your work. You are strong and beautiful and SO inspiring!! Sending you love and light, and a big hug too! Keep going girl - your kindness and grace are so refreshing! ❤️🙏🤗

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 KZfaq 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. ❤

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...

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!! ❤️💋

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.

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

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 ❤❤❤

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.

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.

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.

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 think it was a blessing that your grandparents passed so close together - neither of them had to do without the other for very long. When I get sad and lonely for loved ones I've lost, I say a prayer for them. It's good for me and for them. It really seems to help. I hope this tip can help you, too. Rest assured, your video is exactly the message I needed to hear. So the video that was so difficult for you to post is, in fact, a blessing in this world. I applaud both your courage and your message. In the words of an old Irish prayer, "May the Good Lord keep you in the palm of his hand."

❤🙏 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! ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏

I'm new to your channel - just found it tonight.... have been watching your videos for like 5 hours straight .. lol. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING you do. Your talent, knowledge, kindness and passion really come through in every video. I look forward to following you on your journey as a content creator. Take care of yourself!

So sorry for your Loss. My sincere Condolences. Prayers and BLESSINGS.

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

Your honesty is so refreshing. Thank you for being vulnerable with us who understand you.

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 .

So sorry for your loss. What a blessing to have such wonderful memories as comfort.

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 just subscribed after watching a video of you with Justin Hickox. I enjoy your channel. Thank you for being transparent. I'm sorry you lost your grandparents. They seem pretty amazing. Grief comes in and out in different seasons, you never know when it'll hit. Prayers. You're a beautiful young lady with amazing eye brows! Keep doing what you are doing!

Thank you for sharing this with us. I am so sorry for how much negativity there is and how it has affected you. You are spot on though, we act like it doesn't affect us but it does. And what you mentioned about being alone all day really stuck out to me. I've been reading about the epidemic of loneliness and it's honestly a health issue. I hope you are feeling better 💓

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 a Wonderful Eye Opening Video! I am so grateful to KZfaq 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 KZfaq 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!❤

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.

Gabi, I appreciate you opening your heart as I you have a great message about living your life to the fullest, so that a few bad days don't count in the end. I too had a very special relationship with my grandma. I loved her more than I did my parents.

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 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.

I recently found your channel and you are so beautiful- inside and out. I’m so sorry about the loss of your beloved grandparents. Let your memories of them bring you comfort.

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! ❤

I was crying with you Gabi, you are beautiful inside and out, thank you for your work on KZfaq. Hugs from Australia

A quote from Sadhguru: “If someone can decide how you feel, isn’t that the ultimate slavery?”

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.

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.

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.

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💕

I cant believe so many people have nothing better to do than try to drag others down 😢 just found your channel, and I'm obsessed! Thank you so much for all of your knowledge given freely and know more of us love you than don't!! Shame on them 😕

Thank you for sharing your sad experience 😢 as we all must go thru that…It is what we all have in common… in the end, we are all just humans coming and going thru life… You just reminded me to enjoy the people in my life and the freedom to just be me. I appreciate your videos and think you are a wonderful, beautiful person inside and out!
