You're literally everything I want to be as a woman and mother.

One thing ppl are shocked by is how independent my sons are. They're 10 & 4yo, they get themselves ready for school (I shower them and lay their clothes out) but they brush their teeth and get dressed. My 10yo can make breakfast and he washes and puts away his clothes. I've been called lazy because I have them do their own stuff but ppl don't realize a lot of times kids don't mind chores when its coming from a safe, loving environment. It takes some of the stress off and if they CAN do it I encourage them to do so.

I love that you’re being more personal but I would not be able to open up about my life like that 😅 love your videos and it’s super cool to have caught this one right away!

As a mom, hearing that it’s ok to take time for myself and not to be guilty about it, it helps to squelch that guilt. Thank you. You guys are amazing and honestly my comfort youtubers

I go through "mom guilt" even now when my daughter is 14. It's so hard to be selfish when you're a mom, but you HAVE TO BE!!! thank you for being you

Why did I get a little emotional watching this when you said we have to make ourselves a priority. Because it's so true. And I wish more ppl would think this way. Instead of "she's being selfish" I used to get so much hate from my family because I wanted to sit down and get ready WITHOUT the baby bugging me. And they would always say rude shit when I would come out all glammed uo and makeup done and complain how long I took to get ready. Like let me be! This is what makes me happy and why shouldn't I do what makes me happy and feeling good about myself 🙄

Currently in a program to get my teacher certs, and a lot of it resonates with being a parent. Self care is important ya'll! A stressed mama also stresses their baby. This was one of the first things we covered in my classroom management class. There is a fine line, but it is not selfish.

I used to watch Brandon's vids to make myself laugh when I was feeling crappy, so i knew who you were, but didn't know you had a channel.... I just started watching your videos a couple weeks ago, and I have to THANK YOU. You inspire me to be who I AM. For a long time I didn't know who that was, and every day I get to know myself more and more. I really appreciate how you encourage women to be SELFISH when it cones to their mental health. I'm so happy I came across your channel, and I appreciate the fuck out of you. Thanks again. 😉 P.s. congrats on the baby!!

I love how honest and raw this was! Made me feel better about the things I do! I think you are my fave creator! You deserve all the good ❤️

100%, you CAN NOT give your best to your children, spouse, etc, unless you give YOURSELF the best FIRST. My oldest is 24, I had 3 and am raising a grand....I learned this lesson MANY TIMES over the years 🙂

"growth is not for the weak" definitely needed to hear that! Thank you! 🖤

It's not being selfish tho, babe. It's just taking care of yourself. Everyone deserves that. ♥️

You are literally my fav influencer who's always true to herself and her fans, Love you always stay the same and continue to inspire others 😊

I’ve had a lot going on and it’s been a bit since I’ve had a chance to watch, my goodness YOU are more stunning than ever and your confidence comes thru the screen! I appreciate you and your content and just love seeing how HAPPY you are!!! You go girl! 💜

So beautifully put! Listening to this just put me in such a better mood! You’re an amazing person girl 🥰

I still remember the first video I watched of you I was just so excited that you were so real. I’ve been a subscriber for a couple years now and I just love you more and more with each video you post ❤️

Love the makeup today girl! You look absolutely amazing!! Keep being your amazingly awesome self!

You are so loving and generous ❤️ considerate it's amazing. Thanks for loving us queen.

I'm 41 and just now finally feel like I've got my shit together that includes boundaries for me time. It took starting a cleaning method/system (heavily modified for my physical disability) to be able to get to the "I got this!" level and it includes much needed selfcare. It's not like I didn't know how to do the things, I had to learn how to do the things without hurting myself by breaking it down into manageable portions which has eliminated so much pain and guilt for taking time for myself.

Your growth mindset is so inspiring. So glad I found your channel. Thank you!

The last couple minutes of the video it was like you were speaking to my soul 🙃 thank you…. When I first had my son I lost a buncha weight because I forgot to take care of myself because I was so focused on taking care of him. It wasn’t until my family Litterally asked me if I was sick or if I was eating that I was like… hmm… ya know.. no I’m not. And I didn’t even realize I wasn’t. Lol. But anyways. Ya.. thanks for the awesome talk 💕

You are such a role model. Your kids are lucky to have you as a mother. You inspire me. You should write a self help book for women that have low self esteem/confidence.

I resonate with what you said about taking care of yourself. I want to teach my children this. Love everything you said on that subject.

You are so amazing. You are also an inspiration to me on a personal level. You will always be my favorite woman on KZfaq!! You were the very first KZfaq channel I ever watched and I have been obsessed ever since. Love ya girly. ❤️💋

Love how open you have been ❤❤ absolutely loving the hair 😍 you are such an inspiration honestly ❤️

You are one of my favorite people because your so open but at the same time so private! Absolutely love you and yours ❤️

I am 16 months sober from heroin and all kinds of drug/alchohol and struggles/mental health and I need to heart like the last 5 mins of this video! All the time thank you so much. Being selfish is sooooo needed I am worth it!

I love how honest and you feel so comfortable in front of the camera! Love you so much!!🥰🥰🥰

Talking about your mom just solidified my feelings from last night. I told my son to leave and I don't want to hear anything. I felt a spike of mom guilt and instantly felt like the worst mom ever. Thank you!

I love your personality since high school. And you have to have time for yourself and love yourself first. I agree 1000% to always take care for yourself cause ur kids see everything and learn from you.

always love how honest you are!!👏🏽💗

I know this video is about a year old. I have recently started watching your vlogs and I love them. I want to say THANK YOU for touching on topics and stuff that can be seen in a negative light. Like doing self care, and your worries with your kids. I feel the same about raising kids in the right way but not stifling their own person. Or your mom telling y'all to get out of the room or let her eat alone. I tend to think I'm doing bad doing that but you explaining it like that is exactly what I want to say it in words and couldn't. Love you! Keep being you! Ps I love your vlogs

I’m molding myself right now, and have been for the past 2.5 years, and I’ve never been more at peace and content with where I am. I’m nowhere near where I want to be one day, but I am still so happy that I’m closer than I was 2 years ago.

Amen sister! Loved the video!

You look so beautiful Gloria !! 💘

I am just here to say that your makeup looks particularly SPECTACULAR in this video! Absolutely STUNNING! You are always beautiful...but there's something extra special about this look! ❤

Great video.. thank you for your honesty 🧡

LOVE that you love LPOTL. Hail yourself!!

Thank you for your tips and tricks, such an inspiration 🥰

You're awesome! Love you and your husband Brandon! I'm so h for you guys and wish nothing but the best for you both. I wish I could find my person...

You legit inspired me 😭😭 I needed this reminder 💕💕💕

I wish I had this video when I was neglecting my self care as a new mom almost 3 years ago. I stopped taking care of myself in many simple ways because of fear and just being in a survival mental state. I’m glad that I overcame that and I don’t feel guilty for taking time for myself whether it’s to put on makeup, do an in depth skin care routine or hanging out with my friends every once a while. I’m a better mom for it 💗

I love your videos in general, and Brandon’s as well. Y’all are both awesome❤️ And you’re so pretty!

You are not only beautiful in the outside but your true beauty shines from within 🖤

I needed to hear this today thank you so much

Which brow gel do you like the best? Love this! Thanks for giving us a small glimpse of your life 💕

Honestly, it's good that you are able to do self care. I struggle because of anxiety, depression and immense guilt. It's something I'm working on because I know I can't be the best version of me, or the best mom I'm capable of being if I don't take care of myself. Plus, I don't want my daughter to pick up from me that she needs to take care of everyone else first.

Beautiful Queen. Love the hair and makeup! Great video!

I LOVE YOU MARIAA GLORIAA❤️

If you haven’t, check out the morbid podcast! Ash and Alaina have so much sister banter and I can listen to their episodes all day. Plus the cases they cover are just crazy informative and they do an amazing job of presenting.

LOVE THIS VIDEO! Thank you for opening up a bit and telling us about your life. Coming from another introvert, I know how hard it is to do that; especially when you're in the public eye. But we love you MariaGloria and no matter how much or how little you choose to share, we will still love you. ❤️ Ps: Also agree with you about the music; sometimes I just get tired of listening to music. Totally the same way, but my substitute is Audiobooks for sure. Podcasts kinda bother me in the sense of it's like a conversation that i'm not apart of and can't add my "two cents" in and for some reason that drives me nuts! 😂

I admire tf out of you 💯

I love this so much!!! ❤️

I love these videos! I love how open & honest you always are with us. Love you & all you put out there for us. 😘🖤

You have no idea what you're doing for me. I absolutely love your content sm I can't take it 🥺🥰❤😭

This format of video is a fave of mine. I ❤️ your personality

Your AMAZINGGG!! I've been a fan for a while, and I want to say thank you for opening up in this video!! Keep slaying sis!!! Also, if you haven't, check out True Crime Obsessed podcast!! They are so funny!!

Your makeup is V pretty btw. Love the peachy tones!

Girl!! Love how open you were. . .also LOVE LOVE LAST PODCAST ON THE LEFT and True Crime 😜😍 Looking beautiful as always 😘

Your makeup is spot on ❤️

Podcast Suggestion - Morbid! I love it! ❤️

Love the eyeshadow look. Beautiful.

We are 9-9:30 people too!!! Sometimes the morning is the best ❤❤

Same regarding getting bored of listening to music. I love listening to podcasts whilst I’m at work, especially true crime

I love that you went out of your comfort zone and talked about personal things 🖤🖤. Now i have to say your make up distracted and i hope we see the tutorial. It looks AMAZING 👏 😍 🖤🖤

I love you and your honesty. You're truly one of my favorite people on here, bar the topic of channel. Stay true, bbg ❤

Love this!

We love you BBG!🥰😘

You are so cute! Love you & yes we needed this video thank you so much!! ❤️ stay blessed & never change beautiful 🤩

Omg love the makeup

I'm a single mom, I am that person that gets no time and I will bitch about it sometimes, but my circumstances are vastly different and FAAAAAAAAR from the norm. About me time... 🥴😖 My kid will unlock the bathroom door from the outside 🥲 he learned that when he was 4. Ngl was kinda proud of the little turd when he stood there with his playmobil toy. I've had to learn (and the curve was steep af) to incorporate him into routines I had previously only done when and how I wanted. It's not easy. But my son is really into skincare now because we put on our headbands and do a little routine together. He also love love loves to swatch new eyeshadows with me, his favorites are the sparkly ones. Won't lie, I was actually sometimes caught by surprise as to how fun sharing those activities with a little person could be. Especially because I never anticipated him being interested in it. But some days it's just really really hard for me, my son has a heart defect so he's been outta daycare since this shit show started, so he's with me 24/7. He also has adhd and is really struggling with behavioral issues sometimes, they just take over and he has a different personality. I have anxiety. When my anxiety and his hyperactivity/outbursts meet... well, it ain't fireworks. At least not in the good sense. I've actually stood there trying to discipline him through pretty much hyperventillation because I was having a panic attack. It sucks. It really depends on the day though. It depends on him a lot and if that day he struggles more with behavioral issues. It also depends on me, my depression & other medical crap going on, if I will get around to doing self-care, or even just washing my face. I know a lot of people can't relate, but that's because we're all different. Our circumstances are extremely different. And all we can do is just be mindful of that, be respectful and not be judgmental. Women are under so much pressure anyway. And before some people come out of the woodworks to shout "equality for dads/das matter too"... society does not .DOES.NOT. hold men to the same standards as it does women when it comes to anything childcare. It's just fucked up. Truly the best thing to do is say to yourself fuck societal standards all the way, because that will be huge for your mental health. At any angle, with any type of issue, trying to reach those (often unrealistic) standards just sets you up for failure and mental health problems. So go fuck it all to hell 🤘🏻

She is awesome

Radio Rental podcast...try it... Just beware with the second episode if you're wearing headphones because that whisper still gives me the chills

If I dont take care of myself, I cant take care or give of myself to anyone else. They say if u dont know how to love yourself how can you love someone else. Duh? Love you Maria.

Firstly I'm so very happy for you in finding your self worth and confidence! I'm 37 and have been working so hard at not beating myself up and finding .y confidence. Secondly, as a mom of 6 kids, ill tell you and anyone reading this.... its OKAY to have YOU time! And it honestly makes me feel like I'm a better mom because I've had a chance to destress and focus on me

I absolutely love you. ❤ you inspire me to be better. I agree with you on the pants... my man has that one pair also 🤣 🥴 keep rocking mama.

Well said. Love this video ❤

U gave some great advice about the self care questions!!!

Another last podcast fan!! Whoo!!

I would love to hear more about growing your self esteem or resources you used to get there. That's my worst thing.

Ahhh!!! You always make me laugh 😹 i freaking love you lol

LPOTL has saved my life. Also, when I would get stuck for a paper to write for college I turned to them for inspiration

Love you girl..I couldn’t open up like this..🦄🦄

You freaking killed this! 🖤

Your a total Capricorn and i love it your confidence, and attitude around me first is exactly how so many of us Capricorn think. Let me put on my Eyebrows, and don’t talk to me in the morning until there on is what i tell my Partner.

Lol best thing I've seen in awhile haha! Go from being secretive to the most personal questions ever haha LOVE IT! LOVE YOU!

Girl! My first child was 36 hours of labor! My second was pretty quick he came right out but the epidural kept fading. Now my last was the worst she was all natural because it just wouldn't work. My BP dropped so much.. and I just almost couldn't handle if it wasn't for this nurse who was a complete boss.

Love this video. Love you. Love that lip combo. 😍 Really though, I was just telling my husband earlier today than I put myself last/deny myself things I want (mostly material things) too much, usually for no reason and when it’s not necessary, and it’s probably not a good thing. I needed the last five minutes of this video. Thank you. ❤️

So the whole concept of "self care" is soo important bc I believe that you can't take care of the other ppl around you if u aren't taking yourself first.

My jaw literally dropped when i saw your face. Your skin, your makeup, your hair, your inner glow, is all POPPIN. Love you and your content!❤ Theres a true crime podcast i really like called "Murder with my Husband" you should go check them out!

Not me being a chismosa and here for the tea lol

You are so inspirational ♥️🫂

Can you please make a video about the products you use in your skin care routine???

Your growth is beautiful, Gloria! PSA listen to Sword and Scale-best true crime podcast in my opinion.

Why is every sentence out of you're mouth hilarious!? Gah I love you lady!

Your makeup is gorgeous!

I always say to he a good mother you have to take care of your self to

Girl I could of heard you answer like 30 more questions !!! 😩😍

I have been over listening to music all the time for the past three years i think… podcast is where its at lol

It’s cute how you and Brandon do videos tg
