This may come as a shock to those that are not yet "older", that if you are fortunate enough, you too will one day be "old". Beauty is ageless, including content for everyone is inclusive and well, just kind :)
My grandfather would always say that to me: "Don't be afraid of getting older because the real problem is in not getting older". I will never forget that. Aging is a gift.
Funny, I was just told recently that everyone gets the chance to be young, but unfortunately not everyone get to be old! Ive never thouht of aging like that before! 💜
Gabi I never thought that I felt somewhat excluded until I started watching your videos. You were demonstrating a blow dryer and you said “....and those with mobility issues “. The thought, this beautiful young woman cares about me. You have such a beautiful heart Gabi. Blessings to you and to your beautiful family.❤️🌸j
Aaaaw this comment made my eyes water. I am SO HAPPY to hear that you felt seen and understood. That actually means the world to me. Thank you for being apart of our beautiful community. I see you.
Hello beautiful lady...I lost my grandparents all but one by 5 years old the last one was at 16, I was 5 going to my first funeral. My mom passed away when I was 35 and she was 65, I am now 57 and feel what you are describing love. On a second note I absolutely feel so old and un beautiful now. I have to let my hair grow out to grey due to an allergy to hair dye products I've had in the last year. I haven't worn makeup in 2 years due to exhaustion as I am raising my grandson - I brought him home from the hospital at 10 days old and have had him since, he is 2 yrs old. Idk Gabi, thanks for taking and listening. ❤❤
@@kathleenshields7368 Wow Kathleen that is a really powerful life story you've had. I am so sorry that you have gone through so much, especially losing your mom at such a young age. Raising a grandchild is also a HUGE feat. I honestly can't even imagine that because those first three years with my boys were absolutely exhausting beyond measure and I was late 20s/early 30s. Hang in there. It's going to get easier and that little boy will love you with all his heart forever. Sending you a hug.
I sat here with tears in my eyes. I am one of those invisible mature women. I was very pretty when I was young and now I feel like no one sees me. I can walk up to a makeup counter and often I am ignored. I so appreciate your content and I've learned so much from you. Thank you for seeing us! xoxo
lea, makeup and hairstyles are two of the things we can always play with, no matter our age. I turned 61 this year & I got two, intense, Ultraviolet "wings" dyed from my temples back to the nape of my neck. I highly suggest stepping out more, not less, as you age. Have fun, even if you're playing alone. P.S. My hair is dark brown on the top layer, so it's my choice whether to show off or not.
I am right there with you. The exact thing happens to me and I walk out into the mall area with tears in my eyes. I remember years ago when I was pretty that the makeup person would almost knock me down trying to help me. It’s just horrible .
Oh my dear this video and comment section was a complete blessing! I too was always told how beautiful I was key word "was'. Then sickness took over almost died twice and doctors finding more and more health issues and the WORST PART is my teeth started deteriorating even though I brush three times a day and floss not sure if one of my other chronic issues are the cause. But I cry everyday I don't ever smile and I stopped taking care of myself like I used to, I went to cosmetology school and like you sweetheart(Gabi) was ecstatic wanted to make other women feel great about themselves BUT WHO would come to someone that looked like me🥴? Plus the anemia makes life difficult because you get so exhausted over doing absolutely nothing just by existing. Anyway enough about my problems I realize we ALL have them to deal with but people like you make it much much easier. God Bless you. Take care of yourself beautiful❤💖🤍💙🥰🌻🌺🌹🌷
@@deenadee4946 I would come to anybody who could do what I wanted them to. If you have anemia (believe it or not) walking is really helpful for keeping your muscles in shape - and more importantly, keeping your outlook open. I'm thinking about you and wishing you strength.
As a 61 year old I thank you for your content! I love your tutorials and that you don't shame people for coloring their own hair. After my last stylist "ghosted" all her clients, I was tired of going to salons with all young stylists and clients, thanks to your videos, I now do my own hair and very happy with the results!!
Gabi, you are a beautiful person, inside and out! As a 'mature', ok very mature woman, I have always been impressed that you have such maturity and kindness. You accommodate all ages of women in your tutorials. Don't ever change, you are perfect just as you are. Thank you.
Just reacently found your channel. And have to say, I just love you and your channel, Gabi ❤️ You look gorgeous, and even too flawless… But hearing your thoughts, you are still so autenthic, real and caring. Thank you for everything you do ❤😻
You are an angel for those of us who are long past our youth. I am 82 and still recall watching Grandma apply make up, fix her hair, apply nail polish. I even helped her with her corset when she was going out. Yes, she were a corset. Beauty was so important to her. I appreciate all I learned from her. It's so lovely to have a younger person (you) to actually pay attention to us. Thank you.
Sipping coffee, crying a bit, but SO appreciating this video, THANK YOU! I'm turning 62 next week and can relate to everything you talked about today. I have accepted (working on embracing) the aging process, but have LITERALLY had people say things like "she was very attractive, when she was younger", and similar comments. WTF!?! I still am, just in a different (dare I say BETTER) way. What gravity has taken away, life and experience has more than made up for! Love all your content, keep up the good work!❤ PS-would love to see videos on best make-up for hose of us who now need to wear glasses full time😊
I hear that all the time unfortunately ...."she was beautiful when she was younger" How sad is it that we base our worth as women on how "pretty we looked" young. I just can't believe that women's lives are broken down into such a silly and meaningless ideology. It saddens me. Thank you so much for the video suggestion! I've had this suggestion many times so I have written it down! I will try to get to it as soon as I can.
Gabi, you just keep doing what makes you happy. Your mature content is very much appreciated. I just turned 59. Up until the past few years, my daughter and I shared the same hair, makeup and skincare routines. I tend to dress "younger" and have always been told I look years younger than I actually am. Then I woke up one day and suddenly everything changed. Between dealing with hooded eyes, wrinkles, dry skin, adult acne and a different hair texture, I didn't even feel like the same person anymore when I looked into a mirror. Everything became a challenge and I dreaded doing my hair and makeup. Over the past 3-4 years I changed hair stylists several times because they just didn't know how to cut my new textured hair and I was left with terrible lopsided, uneven haircuts (I've finally found someone I love and she is older than me lol). This was such an unexpected process. It's still very frustrating at times and I spend way more time than I ever have on my hair and makeup because I, too, am a perfectionist. Thank goodness I have RUclips to find influencers like yourself to help women like me as we go through this journey. I will say though, it's frustrating that alot of the mature influencers are getting treatments and using products out of my budget range to achieve their more youthful results. I'm really trying to embrace this new time of my life and focus on what I can change or improve as opposed to the things I can't.
Thank you,, Gabi. I am 62 and what you said resonates with me. I do matter, and it still surprises me when I look in the mirror and see how "mature" I am. I still feel young and beautiful on the inside, and with inspiration from your channel, I am able to find the best me at this point in my life. You are a blessing.
Dear Gabi, I have never, ever commented on any video before, but feel compelled to do so after watching this. First, I am very sorry for the loss of your grandparents; the love you shared is truly special and will live forever in your heart and cherished memories. Also, thank you so much for your insights about how it feels to be a mature woman as well as the mother of grown children. Although you are still young, you speak as if this has been your lived experience. I watched with tears in my eyes because you so perfectly expressed how I’m certain so many of us feel. Thank you for seeing us.
I am in my mid60's. I appreciate and enjoy your channel immensely. It is not easy to lose a loved one who has been an anchor in your life. There seems to be no particular timetable for grief and when it subsides, but the day does eventually arrive when joy and happiness will once again be in the forefront. It is also not easy to find appropriate tutorials for us 'mature' gals. I appreciate all that you do here Gabi, along with the kindness and maturity that is inherently YOU.
I’m 75 yrs. old and I very much appreciate the tutorials and advice you provide. As I’ve aged, my make up routine has had to change and it’s wonderful to have these tips to try out. I’ve tried many face care products over the years with not much success. I have combination skin and I’m still looking for a face care product that does what it claims to do; minimize wrinkles.
@@GlamGirlGabi Oh my. The list is long. Currently, I’m using Beverly Hills Lift & Firm Sculpting Cream twice daily. I also recently started Sculptra (collagen) and microneedling.
I am 51 and love your videos. I recently came across your videos and was like finally someone covers tutorials for the older woman. So tired of the coming across content focused on younger women. If I want to wear glitter then dammit I’m wearing glitter 😂. Tired of being put into a box and told to old to do something. We aren’t dead. You understand that. I love you and don’t stop. And I love that you are younger because I feel like it helps you give a fresh perspective.
Dear beautiful Gabbi, I have only been following you for a few months. Since I have found you you've changed my life. I am 54 and didn't wear much makeup because I didn't know how to make it look well on my face. I wore mascara eyeliner blush lipstick and some spotting of concealer where I needed it. I now wear super goop and glow. I understand loss, i lost All my grandparents and my parents and my thirties.For those of us who do have religion It is a security blanket because we know there's another stage of life where we will be together. I can see how bleak things could be without religion. For myself I was very abused in my childhood and I truly believe God helped me through. I love your content please, please,please don't stop your content for older women. You are a blessing for those of us who had no idea how to care for our older skin. I am so happy that I found you.
Tik Tok is full of young women making money off young women. I don't bother. Love your channel and some others that talk about looking good when you are middle-aged or old. I'm old and it's dumb to ignore us as we have money to spend and are loyal to brands. Something that virtually every influencer overlooks is grayness. I don't dye my hair and finding products to fill in gray and gray brown brows for instance is really tough.
Well now I’m just a sappy mess! Good thing I haven’t done my makeup yet. We should all be hoping to age and feel beautiful throughout our lives. I lost my mom when she was 61 and just recently lost my sister who was 66, they were beautiful till the end. Thank you for this!
Gabi, that’s so sweet that you took an interest in the more mature women. 💗. I’m sorry you lost your grandparents. It’s sad when we lose people who were such important figures in our lives. I’ve seen a couple other people comment about being Christians. I’m so thankful that I’m also a Christian! I believe in eternal life and as wonderful as this earthly life is, the life ever after is everlasting joy. I do take a lot of things to the Lord in prayer. That’s not to say I don’t feel everything you’re saying. I’ve raised 4 kids, have the delight of 14 grands and boy do I grieve the loss of the years that go by so quickly. I do feel aging is a privilege and you should consider yourself fortunate that your having this realization of time passing you by. It really is a blessing, and can be a catalyst for us all to be present and thankful for the time we’ve been given.
Poor, sweet girl. You’re not alone. My parents are in their 80’s and unwell. My children are all grown and moved out except for one. I’m thousands of miles away from them all. I’m always worried about them. It’s exhausting. My brain betrays me. Hugs to you. I’m here for you❣️
Gabi, you are a special person, so caring. You have touched my life, and as a mature woman I want you to know how much I appreciate your advice and empathic nature.
At 77 I’m so happy that you do make up, etc. for “older” women. In our society, growing older isn’t easy for us. Life isn’t really about make up, but as women, most of us have always wanted to use it to help us look a little better. So thank you from the bottom of my heart❤️❤️. BTW I’ll take a coffee!
“Everyone gets to be young, but not everyone gets to grow old.” I loved this quote when I first heard it. It’s so true. So grateful to be 57 years old. Thank you for your video!
I have been walking around with such a heavy heart this week. I needed a reminder that there are good and decent people in the world. Thank you for that.
Our life is a pass thur to our future home!! You will see your grandparents again. They our in such a beautiful place with no pain!! You are beautiful person with alot to give!!
At 51 I can relate to a lot of what you share and I can say that God has a purpose for each of us, you are walking in yours with your content and how it helps so many women, only He can fill the void and replace those fears and anxiety…keep doing what you do ❤
Truth. Jesus said “I am the way, the truth and the life; no-one comes to God except through Me (John 14:6). Jesus wants you to to cast all your cares on Him because He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7). Only by repenting of sin and trusting in Jesus to guide your life are you spiritually safe for all eternity ❤
How you get any criticism at all for your content is mind-boggling, the advice you give about make-up and looking after your skin and hair has been really helpful to me. As a recently out trans woman I had been looking for good advice on this stuff and you videos being so naturally warm and friendly drew me in. On that note too authenticity is something I'm very much on a journey on with too, for me I can so easily slip into people-please mode and leave myself behind, I hope these videos help you in realizing that for yourself day to day. Also despite being 28, I love watching your videos for mature women, please never stop making those they're so wholesome!
I so relate to what you had to say about your kids. The great love for your grandparents has made you more aware and mindful than you’ve ever been. My kids and I had many rituals/traditions throughout the years and you never know the very last time you’re going to experience these with them. From the time my son could walk, we would go to the beach about every 2~3 weeks and kick a big rubber ball out into the surf and run up and down the beach retrieving it as it drifted back into shore. We did this in the winter all bundled in our sweaters and we did it in the summer in our swimsuits. We stopped at the same lemonade stand and got a lemonade and a grilled cheese sandwich. We would climb up and roll down the huge sand berms until we were exhausted. He just loved this and so did I and we both looked forward to the experience so much. Then one day, when he was about 10 years old, he didn’t want to go. I thought, OK, we will just skip it today but as it turned out, he never wanted to go again. He was aging out of this activity and wanted to do other things; meaning more things with his friends than with his mom. And, of course, this is just the normal course of life. If I had known the last time we had gone was going to be the last time we would ever do that, I would’ve squeezed every drop of joy out of that day. I wouldn’t have rushed him to hurry back home when he wanted to stay “just 10 more minutes” because I had some mundane chore I thought I had to get done that day. But it was at that point that I realized I needed to be more mindful because you just never know the last time you’re going to do something with your child (or anyone you love). I really stopped to smell the roses and appreciated all the small moments, like you described. I only wish it hadn’t taken me 10 years to learn that, but I was a better mother for the second half of his childhood in terms of being more completely there and appreciating every moment. He’s 30 years old now and has flown away but we are incredibly close. But I sure do miss the time when he was with me everyday as it is so rare to see him. You know all that now and you’re not gonna take a moment for-granted. Feel good about that. I know plenty of people who didn’t figure this out until their children’s childhoods were completely over. You’re a great mom! ❤
I read something the other day that said, “I am so proud of my grown babies, but I sure miss my little ones”. It’s so wild to have both feelings. 😊 but it’s so real!
I wish I had appreciated those moments more as well. When my 2 were little, I was so focused on trying to keep up with work, the house, paying bills, plus my son's medical issues. I just feel like those years were a blur and I know I didn't really immerse myself in those moments. I was just trying to survive. I heard a quote somewhere that says it perfectly. "One day lasts forever, but the years pass in the blink of the eye"
Gabi, thank you! ☕☕You are such a beautiful soul. I am one of the lucky ones. I'm "old". Who knew that would happen ( insert an eye roll, and embarrassed giggles here!) You are clearly kind, empathetic, honest, and observant. All of this is in addition to your incredible talent as an artist. I want to tell you how much I appreciate you and your wisdom- I know that your grandparents are so very proud of you! I have learned so much from you- thank you, again, for seeing me/us. We love you!
You are such a sweet , kind, loving, and sensitive person. I can relate in so many ways with you. I wish I could hug you right thru my screen. I’m 64 and lost my baby sister. She was 52 years old and died from ALS. My husband was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease at the age 54 years old. All this happened at once. We closed our business sold our house and moved to a retirement community and was caring for my sister. This all happened together. I went to counseling because I really needed help. I have excepted all the loss and my husband I loose a little at a time. It’s so hard and empty inside. I cry all the time. I have learned time is so precious. I could talk forever. I recently found your channel and you would make me feel happy, wanted and valued. I use to wear makeup everyday. I stopped when we moved here and now I’m starting to wear it again. Try to wear it again. Love you Gabi.
As a woman with a chronic terminal illness I was told my whole life I would love to my teens and then not into my 20’s, then 30’s and now I am OLD for someone with cystic fibrosis at the ripe age of almost 48! What an absolute blessing, but with being ill this long my body, skin, and face have aged so quickly. This has led to another guilty feeling. That I’m so lucky to have survived this long, and to have had this beautiful life but also feel anxious and unhappy with my appearance. I’ve worked so hard to survive and to thrive but my vanity shows about my appearance. Your content helps me to try to address my issues about my aging face. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Life is a gift and so are you.
I am almost 82, husband is 85:and we have the most wonderful neighbor that pay a lot of attention to us. My neighbor helped with my hair and makeup for our granddaughters wedding a few months ago. She knows how to make an older woman feel beautiful. We need this type attention at our age. Thank you for helping us older ladies feel good about aging and trying to help us with our hair and makeup. I think loneliness is prevalent amount people our age. The kids have become grandparents and are busy with them and their jobs. So cooking and cleaning become our focus and shopping for groceries is an outing and fun. How pitiful to depend on grocery shopping for fun. Turning to RUclips for entertainment is about all I have to look forward to some days so seeing your pretty face and hearing a cheerful conversation is wonderful.
Omg Gabi, thank you for being so genuine, authentic, and putting yourself out there. That is very difficult to do. It helps so many people. Sometimes we see people and think they’re world is perfect and we think we are the only ones suffering with stuff. It just helps us so much mentally to hear people’s true stories and problems. We can help each other then. I am so sorry about your Grandparents. And I will pray for you. Thanks for your great videos! ❤😊
Gabby, Since the death of my son in 2016 to suicide, I have lost my aunt, my uncle, my cousin, my dad and my mother and father in law. Recently, my mother fell and broke her hip (she is 88). I have been going through deep grief, anticipatory grief is so real girl. It's a protective mechanism i think for us. But I am here to tell you, life is crazy, messy, heartbreaking and intolerable at times. It is also beautiful, wonderful and deeply spiritual. I am learning to embrace every moment and everyday and live in the now, but also cherish the beautiful memories of those who past. I embarace every sign I see from each of those loved ones. I can tell you with confidence that life does not just end. You continue into the next life and it will be amazing. Love you Gabby. You are genuine and courageous and full of love. I am in my 50's and feel like I am just learning what life is. Thank you for all your content. As a 54 year old I appreciate you. I have learned and continue to learn so much from you. Continue to be you, you are beautiful inside and out.💖💖
Wow, Gabi. What a courageous woman you are! As a mom, a widow and a child who has lost a parent, I can relate to everything you said. Even as a child I would imagine the worst thing happening because I thought then it wouldn’t, or if it did, I would be ready for it. When my boys were little I would consciously take a “snapshot” of a moment. Lock it into my memory. I am glad that you have found a therapist that can help you. It is so important to take care of yourself, especially when you take care of so many others. Finding those little moments of joy everyday can be celebrated, and you are creating memories that will live beyond your own existence. Stories that your kids will tell about their amazing and loving badass mom! One thing that I have learned from loss is that love lives forever. It reverberates and increases and cannot be extinguished. Your grandparents gave that to you and you give it to all the people in your life, and so it goes. Increasing and increasing until the end of time. Thank you, Gabi, for sharing your journey, for seeing mature women and all we still have to offer the world. You are more than a content creator, you are a positive force in the world.❤️
I just turned 45, but MAN things change fast mid-life! I have so many questions and new challenges! Things that used to work for me beauty-wise no longer do. I'm a stay at home mom of 5, with my kids ranging from 21 down to 6! So I'm already in the grieving for the older children leaving the nest, and it keeps me very present and aware in the time and attention I try to give the younger ones. I'm soaking up every moment! I've really enjoyed your start-to-finish makeover videos with the beautiful older ladies! I think a weekly q & a video with individual and personalized advice would be great! It wouldn't even necessarily need to be live. You could have viewers submit questions or mine questions from the comment sections of other videos.
Please dear Gabi, You need to bring this to Yeshua (Jesus)!! I promise you, He is real and alive. His Father loves us so very much that, with all the sin from free-will, He sent Himself in the flesh to redeem us! It has to be that way, that has to be a payment, a sacrifice. Yeshua IS that payment and He is preparing a place for all who repent and believe in Him! I have experience Him personally after a life without Him. You need to do this! Everything in this life for you and your family will change and your eyes will be opened!!! You will have peace and handle this imperfect life with joy for Him! My prayer for you right now is that the Lord opens up your heart and you can see this! My prayer is that you will repent to him cry out to him and you will be forever changed. Sending love. Will be praying for you and your family today.
I appreciate your honesty and the fact that you were vulnerable. It was hurtful to hear that younger women have asked you so often why you do content for mature women. As a 56 year old woman fortunate enough to have taken good care of my looks for a long time and look younger than my actual age, I know I still look “mature” to young women. Going from having people tell you constantly that you are beautiful to only enjoying more rare compliments and consequently feeling invisible is a painful process. Even more painful is the invisibility that mature women struggle with in the world because a lot of younger women haven’t yet experienced deep grief and life experiences that tends to steal a person’s light heartedness. I personally had my only child murdered when he was 18 in 2016. I have yet to find someone who has gone through and lives my reality of being shattered beyond repair. Thankfully I do believe in Heaven purchased for us by God’s son with the forgiveness of our sins if we accept that beautiful gift. Though murdered, my first glimpse of my dead son blew me away. He had a smile on his face! He was a strong Christian and I know he saw his God and savior in that final second on earth. 💔❤️
Gabi, YOU are "an amazing, strong woman" and I am such a fan of yours. I am a "mature woman" and I turn to your channel when I want to see amazing makeovers on people my age. You are doing what no one else is doing and in such an incredible and artistic way. Yes, there are other makeovers on older women (a few!), but none of such high quality and understanding of the face and bone structure as yours. You understand that the makeup on a 60 year old is not the same makeup you do on a 20 year old. Thank you for "seeing us" and everything you do on your channel.
I’m 56 and I have to say that I do have self worth and respect, but it was still so nice to hear that you see me/us! My 25-year-old son just got married 2 weeks ago. I was offered by my daughter-in-law to get my makeup and hair done along with the bridesmaids, but I declined. I’m pretty good with makeup, but I wear a hair topper nowadays because my hair is too thinned out. I wasn’t sure if the professional had worked with toppers before. Anyway, I was happy with how I looked and really enjoyed the day! By the way, my son and I have always been close and still are! Please try not to worry about the future. Just take one day at a time! 💛
Something you said, “RUclips is a place of real human connection “ is true for me too these days. Homeless, living in my tiny Prius, I enjoy watching your videos and they are so uplifting because of your energy. Thank you for sharing the other side of your life too. Honesty is beautiful.
Wow, that’s profound and very much how I feel too and I’m 79 years old. Hopefully, I’ll live a few more years and stay healthy. I’m still grieving my daughters who have their own lives and moved away. That’s the course of life.
Gabi you are a very considerate person, your beauty is that you care for others. Nowadays it is really rare to find people like you. I'm glad you shared your story with us . Some people feel alone and lonely, your videos is a earming hug to them, telling them they are not alone. You are such a beautiful person inside and out, please don't stop caring.❤
I have no words that can express my appreciation for the content you post for "mature women". I am over 60 and I still want to look my best and your content is so helpful. Thank you.
As a 53 year old, mum of 3 adult children and one granddaughter, on an exciting journey of self discovery after a recent diagnosis of ADHD, I'm really starting to 'see' myself. This year I've had my first tatoo, got blonde highlights and had composite bonding on a front tooth that's always been discoloured. I feel beautiful and my lines are part of my beauty. You are a beautiful soul who really appreciates the beauty of us older ladies and I'm so glad you make the content you do. I used to have a lot of anticipatory grief about my children growing up too, especially after my dad died of cancer. Life is short and scary but it's also amazing and beautiful and usually both at the same time. I love the adult versions of my children. They are wonderful. But the child versions still hold a very special place in my heart. You will cope with it when it comes. I promise. Try to live in the now so you are not colouring your present with a future that you will definitely cope with in your own way. Xxx
Having faith as a Christian, there is the knowledge that we will be with our loved ones again in heaven where there will be no more sickness, pain, or separation. There is still sorrow in this life because we were intended to be eternal. Hope is what we all need. I pray you will find peace for a future after your soul leaves your earthly body to live on eternally.
Omg I have anticipatory grief too! It started when my oldest daughter (I have 3 kids) moved out for college and I realized how fast time goes!😢 Also, please don't stop making content for us old ladies. I absolutely love your tips and tricks and had almost given up on makeup. ❤ Love your channel.
It’s a great thing to acknowledge and discuss the things we will all go through as women. What a wonderful passion for you to embrace! Just think of the gift that you are giving! ❤
😮 wow did I need this today! I lost my mom a couple of years ago and I too would do her make up and nails and she loved it! Something so simple which can lift spirits in a moment! I’m 61 and have experienced the invisible approach as well! However, you have lifted my spirits so much in which I had my hairdresser review your video of the bob cut , which she did a great job and my hair looks so much better! I have my makeup on with eyeshadow which includes “shimmer” on the lid to give it a POP! Try not to worry about the future too much it’s ❤going to be okay from one mother to another!
Thank you, Gabi! I'm a POC woman in the last year of my 60's. Your grandparents may be physically gone, but they live on through your parent/their children, you and your children. Please remember that! They have left a lasting legacy and so will you. Sadly our society values youth above all even as it's run by the old. And the chronically immature male gaze is everywhere coloring how we see ourselves and each other. Please keep up your important and inspiring work!
You are such a good person. Thank you for your honesty and vulnerability! As a woman of 68 yrs old, I really appreciate your videos and you! They have been so helpful to me!
I’m another “mature” woman weighing in… THANK YOU! You’re a breath of fresh air to me. I’ve learned a lot from your videos about caring for myself, but I wouldn’t watch if you weren’t one of the most precious people on the internet.💕🤗 I’m 64, and disabled now, but I don’t want to look old and shabby! 😂 (Btw, I still miss my grandparents after 30 years) God bless you and keep you, Gaby.
I'm a 64 year old who loves to watch your channel. Life changes a lot.i've raised two wonderful sons and thought my heart would break when they left home. I savor every memory. My husband and I are vacationing now, and it's such fun to text with them, remembering those vacations we had. Since I retired from teaching 34 years, I miss my colleagues some still friends but drifting apart. However, new friends have come and I've had time to reacquainted and enjoy friends from earlier life. Two grandchildren are the joys of our lives. We've lost grandparents and all but one parent, several close friends. I do have faith that this all means something and that I'll see them again in perfection! Don't rule out God . Remain open to having faith. That is the constant. Sorry to comment so long but your video touched me.
Gabi, you are probably the most kind and beautiful person that I have ever come across on social media. I cried with you as I watched this video. I can relate to so much of what you have been going through. The way that I relate to the world changed when I lost my dad, my grandmother, and my uncle in just a few months. My dad was such a big part of my life and the hole left in my heart can never be filled. I try to make the most of every moment with my mom, because I know that my time with her is precious. Anticipatory grief? I never knew the term, but I have it too. I wish that I could give you a hug and call you to talk. ❤ I'm almost 52 years old and I really appreciate your content. I enjoy all of your videos, whether they are for women who are younger or older than me. I always learn something helpful. Please keep sharing your knowledge with us, and please keep sharing what is in your heart. ❤
Love you, Gabi. ❤ I’m having a rush of emotions and thoughts and need that cup of coffee ☕️ so that’s all I’m going to say for now. Thank you for seeing us and sharing with us!! ❤❤❤
Being a perfectionist is what holds me back. I'm on IG and TikTok, but I'm scared everytime I post. I'm 60, and know I'm older but I don't feel it. I do see it in the mirror, and it is hard some days. I am so happy to have found your feed. Yes, do the tutorial, because we need those. "Real You" videos are so refreshing, and I feel they are important in this day and time. Thank you for being you!
As always - love you Gabi! Im 61 and have had some of those feelings - thanks for letting me know its called 'anticipatory grief' You are a truly beautiful person / soul. thanks for sharing both the good and not so good feelings you are going thru - when i was in my 50's & my children left home i went into a deep depression as i missed them SO much - still do! But I had no one to talk to or understand then. Most women feel left out and exlcuded a bit as they get older - some self imposed and some by others. thank you for sharing and keeping us important, included and feeling loved appreciated and accepted on youtube! we are beautful people! -at any age! 🥰❤❤❤❤
All any of us can do, at any age, is to try to make our own little corner of the universe a better place. That's our purpose. Thank you for sharing a bit of your little corner with us.
I'm 51 and recently discovered your channel. I lost my daughter in a car accident 6 years ago. I have repressed the grief.. Your video is very genuine. It touched me. It has opened up a line of emotions as I think about how beautiful she was and imagining what her wedding day would have been like.. thank you for sharing your feelings and making the mother of the brides and grooms feel as special as they are.
You have such a beautiful caring heart. One of the things you and I have in common is that we feel deeply. When we feel deeply, we hurt deeply. It’s another example of a blessing, but yet can feel like a curse. I’m 60 years old and have 2 adult children that are beauty and lifestyle influencers/creators. They both have precious hearts like yours and are always lifting me and my 80 year old mom up in ways that make us feel seen and heard. I have shared your channel with both of them. For my birthday and for my mothers birthday they surprised us with a day of pampering and beauty. For my mom to watch her being treated so tenderly and special by my two kids, was such a gift. It wasn’t just the makeup that put a jump in my mom’s step that day, it was the love she was getting from her family, specifically her grandchildren. At the end of the day, the make up will be washed off, yet the memories of love and being valued will last a lifetime. She felt so beautiful both inside and out. This is what I see you doing for the mature women. One last thing, and the most important thing, Jesus sees you. He loves you. He wants to be seen by you. God created us to be in relationship with Him. He gave us the gift of Jesus to wash us clean of all our sin. What a gift to be washed as clean and pure as snow. Jesus is available to all that will call upon His name and receive Him as their Lord and Savior. The Bible tells us we will all live forever in one of two places. There is more than just this life on earth. Choose Jesus. Choose Heaven. We all were created with a God given void in our heart that only Christ can fill. Pray about this!! I may not meet you and be able to have coffee with you here on earth, but I hope I do get to meet you one day in Heaven. The best gift of all is the gift of eternal life with our creator…the Master Influencer/Creator. All you have to do is ask and it will be given to you!! 💕✝️🙏
I can't imagine not knowing Jesus. I'm shocked at the fact no one else that I've seen mentioned Jesus to her. That's terrifying...I'm just now seeing the video or I would have reached out to her . I actually paused it and got my phone so I could tell her about Him and saw the video was two weeks ago. I just lost my son in June. He was three days from being 30. He knew Jesus too. He actually had rededicated his life a few days before..we don't know what happened. It's still under investigation and people believe it was suicide but I believe it was an accident because we were best friends and I always knew when he needed me. When he was sad or depressed. We had plans for me to go visit him...he lived close to the beach and I was going down for the 4th. We had plans...I'm not doing well mentally honestly but I do know Jesus and I pray for Him to help me.. Didn't mean to make it about me I'm just so heartbroken that so many people don't know Him or didn't say anything to her. I pray she gets to know Him. He makes himself known to everyone in one way or another and I pray she takes that opportunity to get Saved so she can know that there is an Eternal life waiting for us!! I know I will see my beautiful son soon and I'm so Thankful for that. God Bless!!!
You are a beautiful soul, Gabi. It's so refreshing to be appreciated as a mature beauty. I'm 74 and have no idea how I got here. Inside I feel like you. Imagine looking in the mirror and seeing me. I'm working on rediscovering myself and love you and your channel.
My mom describes it in the exact same way. She feels the exact same way that she felt when she was 40 but then she sees someone else. It's hard to experience change. Remember that you are BEAUTIFUL at any age and take the time you need for self love and care because that is half of it.
Thank you for sharing Gaby. There is enough content out there for the younger demographic but not for mature women. I am not over 40 but I love your content because you keep Makeup techniques simple for those of us who don't wear heavy makeup. It is so easy for people to make a negative comment than to appreciate the positives.
Dear Gabi, I’m a 52 year old woman and absolutely love your content. You explain everything for the mature women, so well and make it so easy to understand. I always look forward to seeing your videos. Thank you 😊
Wow!!! That was a powerful, heartfelt video. ❤ I hope you know that you are also seen. You're an extraordinary woman, so wise, loving, and talented. I'd love for you to do more of these chats, maybe some Q & A as well. It sounds like you've found a wonderful therapist. I've been in therapy for many years and it has been life changing for me. I know the struggle of perfectionism. It sucks. Be kind to yourself (easier said than done, i know) I hope you feel the ❤️.
I have loved watching this video darl. I lost my parents when I was a very young girl, my grandparents in my twenties, there's been many many sad moments in my life, but I have been lucky to have the strength to pick myself up all on my own without the help from anyone, but the one thing I am thankful for, is the moment I met my husband when I was 23 that was the moment I always say my life began and I'm 60 now, so for me personally I'm so thankful. It's how you deal with life and all the good and bad times that make a person strong.
Thank you for understanding what we are. We once were young & beautiful but we have decades of life lived. 😢you are a messenger, keep sharing your insights ❤
Gabby, you keep it real AND beautiful. I adore you for that. Yes, life is complex, but YOU are a bright spot that I greatly appreciate. Especially as a woman who just grew out her gray hair and is getting used to being treated less nice because I dared to look older. Your inclusivity is a gift. ❤ And I share your anticipatory grief, but I now trust my guardian angels to always bring new joy and new healing along my life’s journey.
I am so happy for you that you are sporting your grey!!! I LOVE grey hair. I think it is so shiny, reflective and gorgeous. I respect anyone who chooses to dye it too but MAN is it ever high maintenance. I think going grey is freedom. Thank you for being apart of my community. I appreciate have you here.
You're coming into exactly who you were meant to be, Gabi. It's a beautiful thing. I wanted to start by saying thank you for all your content that helps me look better at 60! Like you stated, YT has been your life. You've grown up in a tough, digital generation where the illusion of perfection has literally bent the minds of many in this "societal engineering experiment", as I call it. This doesn't always turn out well for influencers as they age, get wrinkles, get heavier, become ill, and then struggle with maintaining their perceived online persona. You're on the best track, though, and your openess is refreshing! I'll end by saying, thanks for being loving, kind highly talented and compassionate. But most of all, Thank you for sharing your authentic self with all of us! You are greatly appreciated 💗
Love this! As a fellow hairstylist and mua who loves what I do but am still very real and authentic , I have these same feelings and issues daily. I often feel like I’m alone in this but then hear something like this and recognize we all go through it. It’s comforting . Thank you for being you and being vulnerable ❤
"Anticipatory grief" - Thank you for sharing, Gabi. When my now-14yo was 8, I sat with him in the rocking chair, sobbing, because I knew the day would come that he would no longer fit on my lap. I feel so much less alone knowing that you feel the same way.
Oh my goodness you’re a truly beautiful human Gabi. When I watch your channel, I feel like I’m having a coffee and chat with a lovely friend. Getting older isn’t easy, but you’re making it easier for so many women. I thank you for that ❤❤
Thank you so much! I am so happy to hear that you feel that way. It's so important that we have a tribe that "gets it" no matter where we are in life's timeline. I get just as much from you guys as you get from me. I am so proud of this community that we have built.
Life doesn't usually stop at 40, 50 or 60 even if some one think so. More then ever you need to have fun in your life. Should I tell my mum on 84 to stop wearing compact powder, lipstic and a browpencil because she is to old? Never!❤
Roots and wings. I always say this to myself as I get sad about my kids growing up. This is the goal. It can be devastating and yet beautiful at the same time. This video resonates so much for me. Thank you ❤
Motherhood is a mixture of emotions. It's amazing while being tragic. It's weird how two opposite things can be true. Whenever I am beating myself up for feeling a certain emotional way, I always remind myself that "two things can be true"
@@GlamGirlGabimy son was three days from being 30 and was my best friend. I lost him in June. My baby boy. I had him for almost 30 years....I'm shattered. He knew Jesus and had just rededicated his life to Him. I raised both my kids and taught them about our Lord and Savior. It hurts my heart that you don't know Him. Please please talk to someone you know and trust that is a Christian. I'm going to pray for you right now and I hope to see a video soon where you talk about Him!! Nothing is possible without Him. Nothing.
I’m 61 and widowed for almost ten years. Since then, I’ve lost a lot of weight and have tried to rebuild my life. I went from never wearing makeup to wanting to look better without overdoing it. Your “I’m Not Okay” video spoke to me. My family wants me to be okay, but I’m not so I keep it to myself. I’m dating, but it’s difficult. I appreciate your emotional honesty and direction on how to wear my face naturally.
For a number of reasons I was feeling down and 'invisible' today. I was compelled to check your channel (subscriber for 2 years now) and this video is exactly what I needed. I've thought of things you've talked about ~ the circle of life, the fleeting nature of things, the ways in which women aren't seen after a certain age...Thank you for caring and then taking it further by teaching, showing, sharing and supporting us. I'm touched by your continual thoughtful support. You are not only gorgeous, you're a beautiful person. What you're doing is impactful and making a difference, one woman at a time. I'm 71 and love the tutorials, tips and hair and make up things you provide. I especially love when you share your thoughts about life, women and family. You are extraordinary~ we are fortunate that you care. I know your Grandparents felt the same way about you. How could they not...?💜
OMW Thank you for this video! Now I know I'm not crazy..... Or maybe I am and that's OK too😅 At 53 I am still doing the whole Anticipatory grief thing and it sucks because I don't think one then fully love and enjoy the present..... And everything you said. But thanks for showing me I'm not the only one 🤗 And thank you for thinking and caring about us mature woman.... It's weird how when you're young it's so easy to brush off or get irritated with an older person, not thinking, that's going to be you some day. I enjoy your content, all of it, tears and all. ❤
Gabi you are so swedome!! You are so real about what you put out there on RUclips. There are so many you tubers that are so fake and don't care about the people who watch them and I can name about 3 of them right off the top of my head. Thank you for the love ❤️ and support you give to us. Your channel is awesome! XOXO
You are amazing. I am 66 and lost my Mom who was my best friend last year. I also have anxiety/depression since I was very young. Her death put me in a deep depression and I couldn’t think about my day to day activities. I went to therapy and started a body detox with a Naturopath. It has worked for me. I think the grief of her death plus everything going on in the world has mentally pushed a lot of highly sensitive people into this state of anticipatory grief. Being in the moment will help. It is a process of learning to think a different way about life. Keep up the great work. You are doing the very best of “You” ❤
You spoke exactly my thoughts, that was SO strange!! Preparatory Grief is something I've always had, and its good to know now that it's a real thing with a real name! I've been doing this many times per day lately. I'm British, & moved to the USA in 2012 when I was 28yrs old (I married an American) 13yrs later and 2 babies born and ive not been back home since 2018!!! Covid restrictions etc. My mum just turned 80, and my dad 71. I'm anticipating their passing in the next decade or so, and I'm stressing so hard, as I've not been able to afford flights to go visit home for me and my boys. I'm a SAHM righr now, and it's just a horrible situation with the world being how it is with $ etc! Anyway, yes I totally feel what youre saying. The stress of pre-emptive loss and grief is so, so real. Thank you for sharing your grandparents memory with us.❤ hug those babies tight!
I have always been thin and hyper focused on my appearance and a perfectionist-side effect of some childhood abuse. About 10 years ago, my hormones went nuts. I had to have a hysterectomy and my mental health went completely to hell. It was awful. I gained 60 lbs quickly and was more depressed than I knew could be possible. I didn't look in the mirror except at my face for literally years. I'm now almost 48 and I'm starting to come back to life! It didn't start with losing weight, it started with learning how to love myself for who I am inside. God knew I needed that lesson and I thank Him for what He showed me through the pain. I have become a more full and enriched version of who He knew I could be if I let go of those negative thought patterns. I am happy again and I feel the strength of my worth and my soul's growth. Absolutely transformative. That is why we're here in this life-to be transformed. I love watching your channel and discovering little ways to make myself feel like that girl who was once beautiful on the outside, with the added bonus of now seeing the beauty I have on the inside. This is my favorite beauty channel. Thank you for what you do. It makes a difference to me. You're a good soul helping other souls to feel good. That's a wonderful contribution. By the way, without being disrespectful of your beliefs, I know you will see your grandparents again. Our families are forever❤️ I hope you have a beautiful day.
I can relate to this 💯! I’m the same age as you and the same thing happened to me. I didn’t go out of my house unless it was necessary. I was so embarrassed and hated how I looked. I’m still on the road to feeling better in my own skin but doing much better. I’m sending you all the positive thoughts 🩷!
Gabby, I started watching this video and you sounded confused, but then you said "blessed". You asked us to go make coffee and chat with you, so I started making my coffee, and heard more confusion, and you said, "Im not religious". I used to be the same way. Did you know that the sound of confusion is because you're a child of God? I PROMISE you're not alone. Try this, instead of asking me or your audience to help you figure out what to do next, pray on it and lay it out for God. You will be amazing how much peace and less confusions you will have. Try it for a week. Jesus loves you so much! You love the elderly because of your kind soul, which is a gift from God. I love your RUclips and most of all YOU. You're the most sweetest person on RUclips and it's because you're a child of God. God is telling you something. I'm promise you that if you surrender to Him your life will be peaceful, blessed, and filled with joy. Yes, therapy can help, but God will give you the peace you desire. You can have a relationship with God everyday if you just ask and reach out to Him. A church is a place of worship and community, but your relationship is between you and Him. ONLY HE knows your future NOT us. Love you, Gabby. ❤
Yes, you said it perfectly! I wanted to tell her how much the Lord loves her and is knocking at the door to her heart and perhaps this questioning she’s doing may actually be the Holy Spirit. So many don’t realize it’s a personal relationship with Lord Jesus Christ that saves and not religion so thank you for saying what I couldn’t find the proper way to articulate. She’s such a beautiful soul and I didn’t want to say the wrong thing or in the wrong way. Have a blessed Wednesday!
You describe life to a tee. I know exactly how you feel about grief. I lost my husband in 2012 to lung cancer. I had no idea how to get through it, but I did. I'm in another relationship now and have been for a while and he has been diagnosed with Parkinsons. I'm dealing differently with this. We're very open about it It helps a lot. I went through the same thing you are going through now when I was about 40. I could not imagine my parents death. I thought I would not want to live. I got a therapist and when the time came for my parents, I grieved, but I was fine. I'm so glad to find your channel. I know beauty is about what's inside you but I used too always wear makeup but I stopped. Watching your channel has made me want to again. Thank you. You are a beautiful woman inside and out.I'm going to keep watching and get to know you better and learn how to do my makeup again 💖
I just adore you! As I sit here, identifying with having to apologize to a makeup artist for being older or having to explain to a hair dresser to not give me a ‘old lady’ hair cut because I am in my 50’s. I feel young, and in I am internally screaming , "hey, I feel 25, I’m fun be around and just want you to think to too"! But instead burst into tears because they seem to look right through you. I wish there were more of you, a thousand more of you on this planet ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for sharing. Everyone struggles. Some people just don't understand mental illness and think you're over reacting, when in fact, you are dying inside. Good days and bad days 💜

This may come as a shock to those that are not yet "older", that if you are fortunate enough, you too will one day be "old". Beauty is ageless, including content for everyone is inclusive and well, just kind :)
My grandfather would always say that to me: "Don't be afraid of getting older because the real problem is in not getting older". I will never forget that. Aging is a gift.
Exactly! As if theyll stay 30 forever!
Very well said. I agree!
Funny, I was just told recently that everyone gets the chance to be young, but unfortunately not everyone get to be old! Ive never thouht of aging like that before! 💜
Yep! People love to talk about diversity and inclusion, while leaving out like half of the aging population!
Gabi I never thought that I felt somewhat excluded until I started watching your videos. You were demonstrating a blow dryer and you said “....and those with mobility issues “. The thought, this beautiful young woman cares about me. You have such a beautiful heart Gabi. Blessings to you and to your beautiful family.❤️🌸j
Aaaaw this comment made my eyes water. I am SO HAPPY to hear that you felt seen and understood. That actually means the world to me. Thank you for being apart of our beautiful community. I see you.
Hello beautiful lady...I lost my grandparents all but one by 5 years old the last one was at 16, I was 5 going to my first funeral. My mom passed away when I was 35 and she was 65, I am now 57 and feel what you are describing love.
On a second note I absolutely feel so old and un beautiful now. I have to let my hair grow out to grey due to an allergy to hair dye products I've had in the last year. I haven't worn makeup in 2 years due to exhaustion as I am raising my grandson - I brought him home from the hospital at 10 days old and have had him since, he is 2 yrs old. Idk Gabi, thanks for taking and listening. ❤❤
@@kathleenshields7368 Wow Kathleen that is a really powerful life story you've had. I am so sorry that you have gone through so much, especially losing your mom at such a young age. Raising a grandchild is also a HUGE feat. I honestly can't even imagine that because those first three years with my boys were absolutely exhausting beyond measure and I was late 20s/early 30s. Hang in there. It's going to get easier and that little boy will love you with all his heart forever. Sending you a hug.
I sat here with tears in my eyes. I am one of those invisible mature women. I was very pretty when I was young and now I feel like no one sees me. I can walk up to a makeup counter and often I am ignored. I so appreciate your content and I've learned so much from you. Thank you for seeing us! xoxo
lea, makeup and hairstyles are two of the things we can always play with, no matter our age. I turned 61 this year & I got two, intense, Ultraviolet "wings" dyed from my temples back to the nape of my neck. I highly suggest stepping out more, not less, as you age. Have fun, even if you're playing alone.
P.S. My hair is dark brown on the top layer, so it's my choice whether to show off or not.
I am right there with you. The exact thing happens to me and I walk out into the mall area with tears in my eyes. I remember years ago when I was pretty that the makeup person would almost knock me down trying to help me. It’s just horrible .
This happens almost every time I go to Ulta & especially at Sephora. Ignored
Oh my dear this video and comment section was a complete blessing! I too was always told how beautiful I was key word "was'. Then sickness took over almost died twice and doctors finding more and more health issues and the WORST PART is my teeth started deteriorating even though I brush three times a day and floss not sure if one of my other chronic issues are the cause. But I cry everyday I don't ever smile and I stopped taking care of myself like I used to, I went to cosmetology school and like you sweetheart(Gabi) was ecstatic wanted to make other women feel great about themselves BUT WHO would come to someone that looked like me🥴? Plus the anemia makes life difficult because you get so exhausted over doing absolutely nothing just by existing. Anyway enough about my problems I realize we ALL have them to deal with but people like you make it much much easier. God Bless you. Take care of yourself beautiful❤💖🤍💙🥰🌻🌺🌹🌷
@@deenadee4946 I would come to anybody who could do what I wanted them to. If you have anemia (believe it or not) walking is really helpful for keeping your muscles in shape - and more importantly, keeping your outlook open.
I'm thinking about you and wishing you strength.
As a 61 year old I thank you for your content! I love your tutorials and that you don't shame people for coloring their own hair. After my last stylist "ghosted" all her clients, I was tired of going to salons with all young stylists and clients, thanks to your videos, I now do my own hair and very happy with the results!!
You can also try Madison Reed at home color system I hear it gives good results
I would pay to have you as my therapist but even better would be to have you as a friend. The world needs more people like you ❤️
What a sweet message Christine. Thank you for saying that. ❤
Gabi, you are a beautiful person, inside and out! As a 'mature', ok very mature woman, I have always been impressed that you have such maturity and kindness. You accommodate all ages of women in your tutorials. Don't ever change, you are perfect just as you are. Thank you.
Thank you so much Debra. That is really kind of you. I really do value and appreciate having you here.
I agree with you. That’s why I always watch. Gabi is so honest, sweet and so beautiful inside and out.
Just reacently found your channel.
And have to say, I just love you and your channel, Gabi ❤️
You look gorgeous, and even too flawless…
But hearing your thoughts, you are still so autenthic, real and caring.
Thank you for everything you do ❤😻
You are an angel for those of us who are long past our youth. I am 82 and still recall watching Grandma apply make up, fix her hair, apply nail polish. I even helped her with her corset when she was going out. Yes, she were a corset. Beauty was so important to her. I appreciate all I learned from her. It's so lovely to have a younger person (you) to actually pay attention to us. Thank you.
Sipping coffee, crying a bit, but SO appreciating this video, THANK YOU! I'm turning 62 next week and can relate to everything you talked about today. I have accepted (working on embracing) the aging process, but have LITERALLY had people say things like "she was very attractive, when she was younger", and similar comments. WTF!?! I still am, just in a different (dare I say BETTER) way. What gravity has taken away, life and experience has more than made up for! Love all your content, keep up the good work!❤ PS-would love to see videos on best make-up for hose of us who now need to wear glasses full time😊
I hear that all the time unfortunately ...."she was beautiful when she was younger" How sad is it that we base our worth as women on how "pretty we looked" young. I just can't believe that women's lives are broken down into such a silly and meaningless ideology. It saddens me.
Thank you so much for the video suggestion! I've had this suggestion many times so I have written it down! I will try to get to it as soon as I can.
@@GlamGirlGabiIf you do a video for girls with glasses, please pick me!
Gabi, you just keep doing what makes you happy. Your mature content is very much appreciated. I just turned 59. Up until the past few years, my daughter and I shared the same hair, makeup and skincare routines. I tend to dress "younger" and have always been told I look years younger than I actually am. Then I woke up one day and suddenly everything changed. Between dealing with hooded eyes, wrinkles, dry skin, adult acne and a different hair texture, I didn't even feel like the same person anymore when I looked into a mirror. Everything became a challenge and I dreaded doing my hair and makeup. Over the past 3-4 years I changed hair stylists several times because they just didn't know how to cut my new textured hair and I was left with terrible lopsided, uneven haircuts (I've finally found someone I love and she is older than me lol). This was such an unexpected process. It's still very frustrating at times and I spend way more time than I ever have on my hair and makeup because I, too, am a perfectionist. Thank goodness I have RUclips to find influencers like yourself to help women like me as we go through this journey. I will say though, it's frustrating that alot of the mature influencers are getting treatments and using products out of my budget range to achieve their more youthful results. I'm really trying to embrace this new time of my life and focus on what I can change or improve as opposed to the things I can't.
Thank you,, Gabi. I am 62 and what you said resonates with me. I do matter, and it still surprises me when I look in the mirror and see how "mature" I am. I still feel young and beautiful on the inside, and with inspiration from your channel, I am able to find the best me at this point in my life. You are a blessing.
I feel that way too (63) widow
Dear Gabi, I have never, ever commented on any video before, but feel compelled to do so after watching this. First, I am very sorry for the loss of your grandparents; the love you shared is truly special and will live forever in your heart and cherished memories. Also, thank you so much for your insights about how it feels to be a mature woman as well as the mother of grown children. Although you are still young, you speak as if this has been your lived experience. I watched with tears in my eyes because you so perfectly expressed how I’m certain so many of us feel. Thank you for seeing us.
I don’t think I can love your channel any more ❤❤
I love you right back. Thank you for being here!
I am in my mid60's. I appreciate and enjoy your channel immensely. It is not easy to lose a loved one who has been an anchor in your life. There seems to be no particular timetable for grief and when it subsides, but the day does eventually arrive when joy and happiness will once again be in the forefront. It is also not easy to find appropriate tutorials for us 'mature' gals. I appreciate all that you do here Gabi, along with the kindness and maturity that is inherently YOU.
I’m 75 yrs. old and I very much appreciate the tutorials and advice you provide. As I’ve aged, my make up routine has had to change and it’s wonderful to have these tips to try out. I’ve tried many face care products over the years with not much success. I have combination skin and I’m still looking for a face care product that does what it claims to do; minimize wrinkles.
What have you tried before? Maybe I can help.
@@GlamGirlGabi Oh my. The list is long. Currently, I’m using Beverly Hills Lift & Firm Sculpting Cream twice daily. I also recently started Sculptra (collagen) and microneedling.
I am 51 and love your videos. I recently came across your videos and was like finally someone covers tutorials for the older woman. So tired of the coming across content focused on younger women. If I want to wear glitter then dammit I’m wearing glitter 😂. Tired of being put into a box and told to old to do something. We aren’t dead. You understand that. I love you and don’t stop. And I love that you are younger because I feel like it helps you give a fresh perspective.
Dear beautiful Gabbi, I have only been following you for a few months. Since I have found you you've changed my life. I am 54 and didn't wear much makeup because I didn't know how to make it look well on my face. I wore mascara eyeliner blush lipstick and some spotting of concealer where I needed it. I now wear super goop and glow. I understand loss, i lost All my grandparents and my parents and my thirties.For those of us who do have religion It is a security blanket because we know there's another stage of life where we will be together. I can see how bleak things could be without religion. For myself I was very abused in my childhood and I truly believe God helped me through. I love your content please, please,please don't stop your content for older women. You are a blessing for those of us who had no idea how to care for our older skin. I am so happy that I found you.
Tik Tok is full of young women making money off young women. I don't bother. Love your channel and some others that talk about looking good when you are middle-aged or old. I'm old and it's dumb to ignore us as we have money to spend and are loyal to brands. Something that virtually every influencer overlooks is grayness. I don't dye my hair and finding products to fill in gray and gray brown brows for instance is really tough.
Have you ever tried tinted brow gel Mary? I feel like this could be a really good option for you. Anastasia Beverly Hills has a series of them.
Well now I’m just a sappy mess! Good thing I haven’t done my makeup yet. We should all be hoping to age and feel beautiful throughout our lives. I lost my mom when she was 61 and just recently lost my sister who was 66, they were beautiful till the end. Thank you for this!
Gabi, that’s so sweet that you took an interest in the more mature women.
💗. I’m sorry you lost your grandparents. It’s sad when we lose people who were such important figures in our lives. I’ve seen a couple other people comment about being Christians. I’m so thankful that I’m also a Christian! I believe in eternal life and as wonderful as this earthly life is, the life ever after is everlasting joy. I do take a lot of things to the Lord in prayer. That’s not to say I don’t feel everything you’re saying. I’ve raised 4 kids, have the delight of 14 grands and boy do I grieve the loss of the years that go by so quickly. I do feel aging is a privilege and you should consider yourself fortunate that your having this realization of time passing you by. It really is a blessing, and can be a catalyst for us all to be present and thankful for the time we’ve been given.
Poor, sweet girl. You’re not alone. My parents are in their 80’s and unwell. My children are all grown and moved out except for one. I’m thousands of miles away from them all. I’m always worried about them. It’s exhausting. My brain betrays me. Hugs to you. I’m here for you❣️
Gabi, you are a special person, so caring. You have touched my life, and as a mature woman I want you to know how much I appreciate your advice and empathic nature.
At 77 I’m so happy that you do make up, etc. for “older” women. In our society, growing older isn’t easy for us. Life isn’t really about make up, but as women, most of us have always wanted to use it to help us look a little better. So thank you from the bottom of my heart❤️❤️. BTW I’ll take a coffee!
“Everyone gets to be young, but not everyone gets to grow old.” I loved this quote when I first heard it. It’s so true. So grateful to be 57 years old. Thank you for your video!
I have been walking around with such a heavy heart this week. I needed a reminder that there are good and decent people in the world. Thank you for that.
Our life is a pass thur to our future home!! You will see your grandparents again. They our in such a beautiful place with no pain!! You are beautiful person with alot to give!!
At 51 I can relate to a lot of what you share and I can say that God has a purpose for each of us, you are walking in yours with your content and how it helps so many women, only He can fill the void and replace those fears and anxiety…keep doing what you do ❤
Truth. Jesus said “I am the way, the truth and the life; no-one comes to God except through Me (John 14:6). Jesus wants you to to cast all your cares on Him because He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7). Only by repenting of sin and trusting in Jesus to guide your life are you spiritually safe for all eternity ❤
How you get any criticism at all for your content is mind-boggling, the advice you give about make-up and looking after your skin and hair has been really helpful to me. As a recently out trans woman I had been looking for good advice on this stuff and you videos being so naturally warm and friendly drew me in. On that note too authenticity is something I'm very much on a journey on with too, for me I can so easily slip into people-please mode and leave myself behind, I hope these videos help you in realizing that for yourself day to day. Also despite being 28, I love watching your videos for mature women, please never stop making those they're so wholesome!
I so relate to what you had to say about your kids. The great love for your grandparents has made you more aware and mindful than you’ve ever been. My kids and I had many rituals/traditions throughout the years and you never know the very last time you’re going to experience these with them. From the time my son could walk, we would go to the beach about every 2~3 weeks and kick a big rubber ball out into the surf and run up and down the beach retrieving it as it drifted back into shore. We did this in the winter all bundled in our sweaters and we did it in the summer in our swimsuits. We stopped at the same lemonade stand and got a lemonade and a grilled cheese sandwich. We would climb up and roll down the huge sand berms until we were exhausted. He just loved this and so did I and we both looked forward to the experience so much. Then one day, when he was about 10 years old, he didn’t want to go. I thought, OK, we will just skip it today but as it turned out, he never wanted to go again. He was aging out of this activity and wanted to do other things; meaning more things with his friends than with his mom. And, of course, this is just the normal course of life. If I had known the last time we had gone was going to be the last time we would ever do that, I would’ve squeezed every drop of joy out of that day. I wouldn’t have rushed him to hurry back home when he wanted to stay “just 10 more minutes” because I had some mundane chore I thought I had to get done that day. But it was at that point that I realized I needed to be more mindful because you just never know the last time you’re going to do something with your child (or anyone you love). I really stopped to smell the roses and appreciated all the small moments, like you described. I only wish it hadn’t taken me 10 years to learn that, but I was a better mother for the second half of his childhood in terms of being more completely there and appreciating every moment. He’s 30 years old now and has flown away but we are incredibly close. But I sure do miss the time when he was with me everyday as it is so rare to see him. You know all that now and you’re not gonna take a moment for-granted. Feel good about that. I know plenty of people who didn’t figure this out until their children’s childhoods were completely over. You’re a great mom! ❤
I read something the other day that said, “I am so proud of my grown babies, but I sure miss my little ones”. It’s so wild to have both feelings. 😊 but it’s so real!
I wish I had appreciated those moments more as well. When my 2 were little, I was so focused on trying to keep up with work, the house, paying bills, plus my son's medical issues. I just feel like those years were a blur and I know I didn't really immerse myself in those moments. I was just trying to survive.
I heard a quote somewhere that says it perfectly.
"One day lasts forever, but the years pass in the blink of the eye"
Gabi, thank you! ☕☕You are such a beautiful soul. I am one of the lucky ones. I'm "old". Who knew that would happen ( insert an eye roll, and embarrassed giggles here!) You are clearly kind, empathetic, honest, and observant. All of this is in addition to your incredible talent as an artist. I want to tell you how much I appreciate you and your wisdom- I know that your grandparents are so very proud of you! I have learned so much from you- thank you, again, for seeing me/us. We love you!
You are such a sweet , kind, loving, and sensitive person. I can relate in so many ways with you. I wish I could hug you right thru my screen. I’m 64 and lost my baby sister. She was 52 years old and died from ALS. My husband was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease at the age 54 years old. All this happened at once. We closed our business sold our house and moved to a retirement community and was caring for my sister. This all happened together. I went to counseling because I really needed help. I have excepted all the loss and my husband I loose a little at a time. It’s so hard and empty inside. I cry all the time. I have learned time is so precious. I could talk forever. I recently found your channel and you would make me feel happy, wanted and valued. I use to wear makeup everyday. I stopped when we moved here and now I’m starting to wear it again. Try to wear it again. Love you Gabi.
As a woman with a chronic terminal illness I was told my whole life I would love to my teens and then not into my 20’s, then 30’s and now I am OLD for someone with cystic fibrosis at the ripe age of almost 48! What an absolute blessing, but with being ill this long my body, skin, and face have aged so quickly. This has led to another guilty feeling. That I’m so lucky to have survived this long, and to have had this beautiful life but also feel anxious and unhappy with my appearance. I’ve worked so hard to survive and to thrive but my vanity shows about my appearance. Your content helps me to try to address my issues about my aging face. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Life is a gift and so are you.
I am almost 82, husband is 85:and we have the most wonderful neighbor that pay a lot of attention to us. My neighbor helped with my hair and makeup for our granddaughters wedding a few months ago. She knows how to make an older woman feel beautiful. We need this type attention at our age. Thank you for helping us older ladies feel good about aging and trying to help us with our hair and makeup.
I think loneliness is prevalent amount people our age. The kids have become grandparents and are busy with them and their jobs. So cooking and cleaning become our focus and shopping for groceries is an outing and fun. How pitiful to depend on grocery shopping for fun. Turning to RUclips for entertainment is about all I have to look forward to some days so seeing your pretty face and hearing a cheerful conversation is wonderful.
Omg Gabi, thank you for being so genuine, authentic, and putting yourself out there. That is very difficult to do. It helps so many people. Sometimes we see people and think they’re world is perfect and we think we are the only ones suffering with stuff. It just helps us so much mentally to hear people’s true stories and problems. We can help each other then. I am so sorry about your Grandparents. And I will pray for you. Thanks for your great videos! ❤😊
❤
Gabby, Since the death of my son in 2016 to suicide, I have lost my aunt, my uncle, my cousin, my dad and my mother and father in law. Recently, my mother fell and broke her hip (she is 88). I have been going through deep grief, anticipatory grief is so real girl. It's a protective mechanism i think for us. But I am here to tell you, life is crazy, messy, heartbreaking and intolerable at times. It is also beautiful, wonderful and deeply spiritual. I am learning to embrace every moment and everyday and live in the now, but also cherish the beautiful memories of those who past. I embarace every sign I see from each of those loved ones. I can tell you with confidence that life does not just end. You continue into the next life and it will be amazing. Love you Gabby. You are genuine and courageous and full of love. I am in my 50's and feel like I am just learning what life is. Thank you for all your content. As a 54 year old I appreciate you. I have learned and continue to learn so much from you. Continue to be you, you are beautiful inside and out.💖💖
I'm so sorry for the many losses you've experienced, especially the loss of your son😢. I hope you find peace. Warm hugs to you❤
Thank you@@cherylthompson6786. I appreciate you. It's been hard, but its part of my journey. Hugs to you and your family 💖💖
Wow, Gabi. What a courageous woman you are! As a mom, a widow and a child who has lost a parent, I can relate to everything you said. Even as a child I would imagine the worst thing happening because I thought then it wouldn’t, or if it did, I would be ready for it. When my boys were little I would consciously take a “snapshot” of a moment. Lock it into my memory. I am glad that you have found a therapist that can help you. It is so important to take care of yourself, especially when you take care of so many others. Finding those little moments of joy everyday can be celebrated, and you are creating memories that will live beyond your own existence. Stories that your kids will tell about their amazing and loving badass mom! One thing that I have learned from loss is that love lives forever. It reverberates and increases and cannot be extinguished. Your grandparents gave that to you and you give it to all the people in your life, and so it goes. Increasing and increasing until the end of time. Thank you, Gabi, for sharing your journey, for seeing mature women and all we still have to offer the world. You are more than a content creator, you are a positive force in the world.❤️
Love ❤️ lives forever!
Yes!
And yes, Gabi is a positive force in this world!
Thank you for your beautiful and confirming comment!
I just turned 45, but MAN things change fast mid-life! I have so many questions and new challenges! Things that used to work for me beauty-wise no longer do. I'm a stay at home mom of 5, with my kids ranging from 21 down to 6! So I'm already in the grieving for the older children leaving the nest, and it keeps me very present and aware in the time and attention I try to give the younger ones. I'm soaking up every moment! I've really enjoyed your start-to-finish makeover videos with the beautiful older ladies! I think a weekly q & a video with individual and personalized advice would be great! It wouldn't even necessarily need to be live. You could have viewers submit questions or mine questions from the comment sections of other videos.
Please dear Gabi, You need to bring this to Yeshua (Jesus)!! I promise you, He is real and alive. His Father loves us so very much that, with all the sin from free-will, He sent Himself in the flesh to redeem us! It has to be that way, that has to be a payment, a sacrifice. Yeshua IS that payment and He is preparing a place for all who repent and believe in Him! I have experience Him personally after a life without Him. You need to do this! Everything in this life for you and your family will change and your eyes will be opened!!! You will have peace and handle this imperfect life with joy for Him! My prayer for you right now is that the Lord opens up your heart and you can see this! My prayer is that you will repent to him cry out to him and you will be forever changed. Sending love. Will be praying for you and your family today.
I appreciate your honesty and the fact that you were vulnerable. It was hurtful to hear that younger women have asked you so often why you do content for mature women. As a 56 year old woman fortunate enough to have taken good care of my looks for a long time and look younger than my actual age, I know I still look “mature” to young women. Going from having people tell you constantly that you are beautiful to only enjoying more rare compliments and consequently feeling invisible is a painful process. Even more painful is the invisibility that mature women struggle with in the world because a lot of younger women haven’t yet experienced deep grief and life experiences that tends to steal a person’s light heartedness. I personally had my only child murdered when he was 18 in 2016. I have yet to find someone who has gone through and lives my reality of being shattered beyond repair. Thankfully I do believe in Heaven purchased for us by God’s son with the forgiveness of our sins if we accept that beautiful gift. Though murdered, my first glimpse of my dead son blew me away. He had a smile on his face! He was a strong Christian and I know he saw his God and savior in that final second on earth. 💔❤️
Gabi, YOU are "an amazing, strong woman" and I am such a fan of yours. I am a "mature woman" and I turn to your channel when I want to see amazing makeovers on people my age. You are doing what no one else is doing and in such an incredible and artistic way. Yes, there are other makeovers on older women (a few!), but none of such high quality and understanding of the face and bone structure as yours. You understand that the makeup on a 60 year old is not the same makeup you do on a 20 year old. Thank you for "seeing us" and everything you do on your channel.
I’m 56 and I have to say that I do have self worth and respect, but it was still so nice to hear that you see me/us! My 25-year-old son just got married 2 weeks ago. I was offered by my daughter-in-law to get my makeup and hair done along with the bridesmaids, but I declined. I’m pretty good with makeup, but I wear a hair topper nowadays because my hair is too thinned out. I wasn’t sure if the professional had worked with toppers before. Anyway, I was happy with how I looked and really enjoyed the day! By the way, my son and I have always been close and still are! Please try not to worry about the future. Just take one day at a time! 💛
Something you said, “RUclips is a place of real human connection “ is true for me too these days. Homeless, living in my tiny Prius, I enjoy watching your videos and they are so uplifting because of your energy. Thank you for sharing the other side of your life too.
Honesty is beautiful.
Wow, that’s profound and very much how I feel too and I’m 79 years old. Hopefully, I’ll live a few more years and stay healthy. I’m still grieving my daughters who have their own lives and moved away. That’s the course of life.
Gabi you are a very considerate person, your beauty is that you care for others. Nowadays it is really rare to find people like you. I'm glad you shared your story with us . Some people feel alone and lonely, your videos is a earming hug to them, telling them they are not alone. You are such a beautiful person inside and out, please don't stop caring.❤
20 seconds in and I’m tearing up and filled with respect for you.
I have no words that can express my appreciation for the content you post for "mature women". I am over 60 and I still want to look my best and your content is so helpful. Thank you.
As a 53 year old, mum of 3 adult children and one granddaughter, on an exciting journey of self discovery after a recent diagnosis of ADHD, I'm really starting to 'see' myself. This year I've had my first tatoo, got blonde highlights and had composite bonding on a front tooth that's always been discoloured. I feel beautiful and my lines are part of my beauty. You are a beautiful soul who really appreciates the beauty of us older ladies and I'm so glad you make the content you do. I used to have a lot of anticipatory grief about my children growing up too, especially after my dad died of cancer. Life is short and scary but it's also amazing and beautiful and usually both at the same time. I love the adult versions of my children. They are wonderful. But the child versions still hold a very special place in my heart. You will cope with it when it comes. I promise. Try to live in the now so you are not colouring your present with a future that you will definitely cope with in your own way. Xxx
Having faith as a Christian, there is the knowledge that we will be with our loved ones again in heaven where there will be no more sickness, pain, or separation. There is still sorrow in this life because we were intended to be eternal. Hope is what we all need. I pray you will find peace for a future after your soul leaves your earthly body to live on eternally.
Omg I have anticipatory grief too! It started when my oldest daughter (I have 3 kids) moved out for college and I realized how fast time goes!😢 Also, please don't stop making content for us old ladies. I absolutely love your tips and tricks and had almost given up on makeup. ❤ Love your channel.
It’s a great thing to acknowledge and discuss the things we will all go through as women. What a wonderful passion for you to embrace! Just think of the gift that you are giving! ❤
😮 wow did I need this today! I lost my mom a couple of years ago and I too would do her make up and nails and she loved it! Something so simple which can lift spirits in a moment! I’m 61 and have experienced the invisible approach as well! However, you have lifted my spirits so much in which I had my hairdresser review your video of the bob cut , which she did a great job and my hair looks so much better! I have my makeup on with eyeshadow which includes “shimmer” on the lid to give it a POP! Try not to worry about the future too much it’s ❤going to be okay from one mother to another!
Thank you, Gabi! I'm a POC woman in the last year of my 60's. Your grandparents may be physically gone, but they live on through your parent/their children, you and your children. Please remember that! They have left a lasting legacy and so will you. Sadly our society values youth above all even as it's run by the old. And the chronically immature male gaze is everywhere coloring how we see ourselves and each other. Please keep up your important and inspiring work!
You are such a good person. Thank you for your honesty and vulnerability! As a woman of 68 yrs old, I really appreciate your videos and you! They have been so helpful to me!
I, for one, appreciate your taking the time to work with us “golden girls”. Thank you and i love your work.
I’m another “mature” woman weighing in… THANK YOU! You’re a breath of fresh air to me. I’ve learned a lot from your videos about caring for myself, but I wouldn’t watch if you weren’t one of the most precious people on the internet.💕🤗
I’m 64, and disabled now, but I don’t want to look old and shabby! 😂
(Btw, I still miss my grandparents after 30 years) God bless you and keep you, Gaby.
I am another older woman with tears. You have an unbelievably rare ability to connect. I am so happy I found your channel. ❤
I'm a 64 year old who loves to watch your channel. Life changes a lot.i've raised two wonderful sons and thought my heart would break when they left home. I savor every memory. My husband and I are vacationing now, and it's such fun to text with them, remembering those vacations we had. Since I retired from teaching 34 years, I miss my colleagues some still friends but drifting apart. However, new friends have come and I've had time to reacquainted and enjoy friends from earlier life. Two grandchildren are the joys of our lives. We've lost grandparents and all but one parent, several close friends. I do have faith that this all means something and that I'll see them again in perfection! Don't rule out God . Remain open to having faith. That is the constant. Sorry to comment so long but your video touched me.
Gabi, you are probably the most kind and beautiful person that I have ever come across on social media. I cried with you as I watched this video. I can relate to so much of what you have been going through. The way that I relate to the world changed when I lost my dad, my grandmother, and my uncle in just a few months. My dad was such a big part of my life and the hole left in my heart can never be filled. I try to make the most of every moment with my mom, because I know that my time with her is precious. Anticipatory grief? I never knew the term, but I have it too. I wish that I could give you a hug and call you to talk. ❤ I'm almost 52 years old and I really appreciate your content. I enjoy all of your videos, whether they are for women who are younger or older than me. I always learn something helpful. Please keep sharing your knowledge with us, and please keep sharing what is in your heart. ❤
Love you, Gabi. ❤ I’m having a rush of emotions and thoughts and need that cup of coffee ☕️ so that’s all I’m going to say for now. Thank you for seeing us and sharing with us!! ❤❤❤
You got this! Go have your coffee and then enjoy this beautiful day.
Being a perfectionist is what holds me back. I'm on IG and TikTok, but I'm scared everytime I post. I'm 60, and know I'm older but I don't feel it. I do see it in the mirror, and it is hard some days. I am so happy to have found your feed. Yes, do the tutorial, because we need those. "Real You" videos are so refreshing, and I feel they are important in this day and time. Thank you for being you!
We need more people like you in the world ❤
Amen...all of us are either mature....or on our way getting there...thank you
As always - love you Gabi! Im 61 and have had some of those feelings - thanks for letting me know its called 'anticipatory grief' You are a truly beautiful person / soul. thanks for sharing both the good and not so good feelings you are going thru - when i was in my 50's & my children left home i went into a deep depression as i missed them SO much - still do! But I had no one to talk to or understand then. Most women feel left out and exlcuded a bit as they get older - some self imposed and some by others. thank you for sharing and keeping us important, included and feeling loved appreciated and accepted on youtube! we are beautful people! -at any age! 🥰❤❤❤❤
All any of us can do, at any age, is to try to make our own little corner of the universe a better place. That's our purpose. Thank you for sharing a bit of your little corner with us.
I totally agree with you! 💕
I'm 51 and recently discovered your channel. I lost my daughter in a car accident 6 years ago. I have repressed the grief.. Your video is very genuine. It touched me. It has opened up a line of emotions as I think about how beautiful she was and imagining what her wedding day would have been like.. thank you for sharing your feelings and making the mother of the brides and grooms feel as special as they are.
You have such a beautiful caring heart. One of the things you and I have in common is that we feel deeply. When we feel deeply, we hurt deeply. It’s another example of a blessing, but yet can feel like a curse. I’m 60 years old and have 2 adult children that are beauty and lifestyle influencers/creators. They both have precious hearts like yours and are always lifting me and my 80 year old mom up in ways that make us feel seen and heard. I have shared your channel with both of them. For my birthday and for my mothers birthday they surprised us with a day of pampering and beauty. For my mom to watch her being treated so tenderly and special by my two kids, was such a gift. It wasn’t just the makeup that put a jump in my mom’s step that day, it was the love she was getting from her family, specifically her grandchildren. At the end of the day, the make up will be washed off, yet the memories of love and being valued will last a lifetime. She felt so beautiful both inside and out. This is what I see you doing for the mature women. One last thing, and the most important thing, Jesus sees you. He loves you. He wants to be seen by you. God created us to be in relationship with Him. He gave us the gift of Jesus to wash us clean of all our sin. What a gift to be washed as clean and pure as snow. Jesus is available to all that will call upon His name and receive Him as their Lord and Savior. The Bible tells us we will all live forever in one of two places. There is more than just this life on earth. Choose Jesus. Choose Heaven. We all were created with a God given void in our heart that only Christ can fill. Pray about this!! I may not meet you and be able to have coffee with you here on earth, but I hope I do get to meet you one day in Heaven. The best gift of all is the gift of eternal life with our creator…the Master Influencer/Creator. All you have to do is ask and it will be given to you!! 💕✝️🙏
I can't imagine not knowing Jesus. I'm shocked at the fact no one else that I've seen mentioned Jesus to her. That's terrifying...I'm just now seeing the video or I would have reached out to her . I actually paused it and got my phone so I could tell her about Him and saw the video was two weeks ago. I just lost my son in June. He was three days from being 30. He knew Jesus too. He actually had rededicated his life a few days before..we don't know what happened. It's still under investigation and people believe it was suicide but I believe it was an accident because we were best friends and I always knew when he needed me. When he was sad or depressed. We had plans for me to go visit him...he lived close to the beach and I was going down for the 4th. We had plans...I'm not doing well mentally honestly but I do know Jesus and I pray for Him to help me..
Didn't mean to make it about me I'm just so heartbroken that so many people don't know Him or didn't say anything to her. I pray she gets to know Him. He makes himself known to everyone in one way or another and I pray she takes that opportunity to get Saved so she can know that there is an Eternal life waiting for us!! I know I will see my beautiful son soon and I'm so Thankful for that.
God Bless!!!
You are a beautiful soul, Gabi. It's so refreshing to be appreciated as a mature beauty. I'm 74 and have no idea how I got here. Inside I feel like you. Imagine looking in the mirror and seeing me. I'm working on rediscovering myself and love you and your channel.
My mom describes it in the exact same way. She feels the exact same way that she felt when she was 40 but then she sees someone else. It's hard to experience change. Remember that you are BEAUTIFUL at any age and take the time you need for self love and care because that is half of it.
Thank you for sharing Gaby. There is enough content out there for the younger demographic but not for mature women. I am not over 40 but I love your content because you keep Makeup techniques simple for those of us who don't wear heavy makeup. It is so easy for people to make a negative comment than to appreciate the positives.
Dear Gabi, I’m a 52 year old woman and absolutely love your content. You explain everything for the mature women, so well and make it so easy to understand. I always look forward to seeing your videos. Thank you 😊
Wow!!! That was a powerful, heartfelt video. ❤ I hope you know that you are also seen. You're an extraordinary woman, so wise, loving, and talented. I'd love for you to do more of these chats, maybe some Q & A as well. It sounds like you've found a wonderful therapist. I've been in therapy for many years and it has been life changing for me. I know the struggle of perfectionism. It sucks. Be kind to yourself (easier said than done, i know) I hope you feel the ❤️.
Thank you for recognizing the beauty and worth of mature women!
I have loved watching this video darl. I lost my parents when I was a very young girl, my grandparents in my twenties, there's been many many sad moments in my life, but I have been lucky to have the strength to pick myself up all on my own without the help from anyone, but the one thing I am thankful for, is the moment I met my husband when I was 23 that was the moment I always say my life began and I'm 60 now, so for me personally I'm so thankful. It's how you deal with life and all the good and bad times that make a person strong.
We need more people like you. ❤
Thank you for all that you came through and are still helping us.
I'm here for you :)
Thank you for understanding what we are. We once were young & beautiful but we have decades of life lived. 😢you are a messenger, keep sharing your insights ❤
Gabby, you keep it real AND beautiful. I adore you for that. Yes, life is complex, but YOU are a bright spot that I greatly appreciate. Especially as a woman who just grew out her gray hair and is getting used to being treated less nice because I dared to look older. Your inclusivity is a gift. ❤ And I share your anticipatory grief, but I now trust my guardian angels to always bring new joy and new healing along my life’s journey.
I am so happy for you that you are sporting your grey!!! I LOVE grey hair. I think it is so shiny, reflective and gorgeous. I respect anyone who chooses to dye it too but MAN is it ever high maintenance. I think going grey is freedom. Thank you for being apart of my community. I appreciate have you here.
You're coming into exactly who you were meant to be, Gabi. It's a beautiful thing. I wanted to start by saying thank you for all your content that helps me look better at 60! Like you stated, YT has been your life. You've grown up in a tough, digital generation where the illusion of perfection has literally bent the minds of many in this "societal engineering experiment", as I call it. This doesn't always turn out well for influencers as they age, get wrinkles, get heavier, become ill, and then struggle with maintaining their perceived online persona. You're on the best track, though, and your openess is refreshing! I'll end by saying, thanks for being loving, kind highly talented and compassionate. But most of all, Thank you for sharing your authentic self with all of us! You are greatly appreciated 💗
Love this! As a fellow hairstylist and mua who loves what I do but am still very real and authentic , I have these same feelings and issues daily. I often feel like I’m alone in this but then hear something like this and recognize we all go through it. It’s comforting . Thank you for being you and being vulnerable ❤
As a 60 year old Grandmother I am so thankful you care enough to help us navigate the beauty world.
"Isn't that what beauty is?"
Thank you, Gabi, for sharing such beautiful memories & sentiments! (It made me teary-eyed, in a good way.)
Gabi, Keep doing what you're doing and check in when you feel the need. You're growing because we need you. xo
"Anticipatory grief" - Thank you for sharing, Gabi. When my now-14yo was 8, I sat with him in the rocking chair, sobbing, because I knew the day would come that he would no longer fit on my lap. I feel so much less alone knowing that you feel the same way.
Oh my goodness you’re a truly beautiful human Gabi. When I watch your channel, I feel like I’m having a coffee and chat with a lovely friend. Getting older isn’t easy, but you’re making it easier for so many women. I thank you for that ❤❤
Thank you so much! I am so happy to hear that you feel that way. It's so important that we have a tribe that "gets it" no matter where we are in life's timeline. I get just as much from you guys as you get from me. I am so proud of this community that we have built.
You have such a big heart Gabi! Thank you for dedicating your content to us “seasoned” women! I feel the love you send through the screen.🥰
Life doesn't usually stop at 40, 50 or 60 even if some one think so. More then ever you need to have fun in your life.
Should I tell my mum on 84 to stop wearing compact powder, lipstic and a browpencil because she is to old? Never!❤
Never ever ever. Watch the video tomorrow if you have time❤️
This was a truly beautiful video. 🥰 All women need to hear this message. 💕
Roots and wings. I always say this to myself as I get sad about my kids growing up. This is the goal. It can be devastating and yet beautiful at the same time. This video resonates so much for me. Thank you ❤
Motherhood is a mixture of emotions. It's amazing while being tragic. It's weird how two opposite things can be true. Whenever I am beating myself up for feeling a certain emotional way, I always remind myself that "two things can be true"
@@GlamGirlGabi omg yes so true! My therapist has reminded me of this statement often. Hugs ❤️
@@GlamGirlGabimy son was three days from being 30 and was my best friend. I lost him in June. My baby boy. I had him for almost 30 years....I'm shattered.
He knew Jesus and had just rededicated his life to Him. I raised both my kids and taught them about our Lord and Savior. It hurts my heart that you don't know Him. Please please talk to someone you know and trust that is a Christian. I'm going to pray for you right now and I hope to see a video soon where you talk about Him!! Nothing is possible without Him. Nothing.
Gabi, Thank u for Being Real, Your Grandparents are so Proud of You ❤!
I’m 61 and widowed for almost ten years. Since then, I’ve lost a lot of weight and have tried to rebuild my life. I went from never wearing makeup to wanting to look better without overdoing it. Your “I’m Not Okay” video spoke to me. My family wants me to be okay, but I’m not so I keep it to myself. I’m dating, but it’s difficult. I appreciate your emotional honesty and direction on how to wear my face naturally.
For a number of reasons I was feeling down and 'invisible' today. I was compelled to check your channel (subscriber for 2 years now) and this video is exactly what I needed. I've thought of things you've talked about ~ the circle of life, the fleeting nature of things, the ways in which women aren't seen after a certain age...Thank you for caring and then taking it further by teaching, showing, sharing and supporting us. I'm touched by your continual thoughtful support. You are not only gorgeous, you're a beautiful person. What you're doing is impactful and making a difference, one woman at a time. I'm 71 and love the tutorials, tips and hair and make up things you provide. I especially love when you share your thoughts about life, women and family. You are extraordinary~ we are fortunate that you care. I know your Grandparents felt the same way about you. How could they not...?💜
OMW Thank you for this video!
Now I know I'm not crazy..... Or maybe I am and that's OK too😅 At 53 I am still doing the whole Anticipatory grief thing and it sucks because I don't think one then fully love and enjoy the present..... And everything you said. But thanks for showing me I'm not the only one 🤗
And thank you for thinking and caring about us mature woman.... It's weird how when you're young it's so easy to brush off or get irritated with an older person, not thinking, that's going to be you some day.
I enjoy your content, all of it, tears and all. ❤
Gabi you are so swedome!! You are so real about what you put out there on RUclips. There are so many you tubers that are so fake and don't care about the people who watch them and I can name about 3 of them right off the top of my head. Thank you for the love ❤️ and support you give to us. Your channel is awesome! XOXO
You are amazing. I am 66 and lost my Mom who was my best friend last year. I also have anxiety/depression since I was very young. Her death put me in a deep depression and I couldn’t think about my day to day activities. I went to therapy and started a body detox with a Naturopath. It has worked for me. I think the grief of her death plus everything going on in the world has mentally pushed a lot of highly sensitive people into this state of anticipatory grief. Being in the moment will help. It is a process of learning to think a different way about life. Keep up the great work. You are doing the very best of “You” ❤
Thanks for seeing us and making content for us!❤
You spoke exactly my thoughts, that was SO strange!! Preparatory Grief is something I've always had, and its good to know now that it's a real thing with a real name!
I've been doing this many times per day lately. I'm British, & moved to the USA in 2012 when I was 28yrs old (I married an American) 13yrs later and 2 babies born and ive not been back home since 2018!!! Covid restrictions etc. My mum just turned 80, and my dad 71. I'm anticipating their passing in the next decade or so, and I'm stressing so hard, as I've not been able to afford flights to go visit home for me and my boys. I'm a SAHM righr now, and it's just a horrible situation with the world being how it is with $ etc! Anyway, yes I totally feel what youre saying. The stress of pre-emptive loss and grief is so, so real. Thank you for sharing your grandparents memory with us.❤ hug those babies tight!
I have always been thin and hyper focused on my appearance and a perfectionist-side effect of some childhood abuse. About 10 years ago, my hormones went nuts. I had to have a hysterectomy and my mental health went completely to hell. It was awful. I gained 60 lbs quickly and was more depressed than I knew could be possible. I didn't look in the mirror except at my face for literally years. I'm now almost 48 and I'm starting to come back to life! It didn't start with losing weight, it started with learning how to love myself for who I am inside. God knew I needed that lesson and I thank Him for what He showed me through the pain. I have become a more full and enriched version of who He knew I could be if I let go of those negative thought patterns. I am happy again and I feel the strength of my worth and my soul's growth. Absolutely transformative. That is why we're here in this life-to be transformed.
I love watching your channel and discovering little ways to make myself feel like that girl who was once beautiful on the outside, with the added bonus of now seeing the beauty I have on the inside. This is my favorite beauty channel. Thank you for what you do. It makes a difference to me. You're a good soul helping other souls to feel good. That's a wonderful contribution.
By the way, without being disrespectful of your beliefs, I know you will see your grandparents again. Our families are forever❤️ I hope you have a beautiful day.
I can relate to this 💯! I’m the same age as you and the same thing happened to me. I didn’t go out of my house unless it was necessary. I was so embarrassed and hated how I looked. I’m still on the road to feeling better in my own skin but doing much better. I’m sending you all the positive thoughts 🩷!
I’m over 50. I just recently found your channel. Thank you so much for creating content for mature women!
Gabby, I started watching this video and you sounded confused, but then you said "blessed". You asked us to go make coffee and chat with you, so I started making my coffee, and heard more confusion, and you said, "Im not religious". I used to be the same way. Did you know that the sound of confusion is because you're a child of God? I PROMISE you're not alone. Try this, instead of asking me or your audience to help you figure out what to do next, pray on it and lay it out for God. You will be amazing how much peace and less confusions you will have. Try it for a week. Jesus loves you so much! You love the elderly because of your kind soul, which is a gift from God. I love your RUclips and most of all YOU. You're the most sweetest person on RUclips and it's because you're a child of God. God is telling you something. I'm promise you that if you surrender to Him your life will be peaceful, blessed, and filled with joy. Yes, therapy can help, but God will give you the peace you desire. You can have a relationship with God everyday if you just ask and reach out to Him. A church is a place of worship and community, but your relationship is between you and Him. ONLY HE knows your future NOT us. Love you, Gabby. ❤
Yes, you said it perfectly! I wanted to tell her how much the Lord loves her and is knocking at the door to her heart and perhaps this questioning she’s doing may actually be the Holy Spirit. So many don’t realize it’s a personal relationship with Lord Jesus Christ that saves and not religion so thank you for saying what I couldn’t find the proper way to articulate. She’s such a beautiful soul and I didn’t want to say the wrong thing or in the wrong way. Have a blessed Wednesday!
You describe life to a tee. I know exactly how you feel about grief. I lost my husband in 2012 to lung cancer. I had no idea how to get through it, but I did. I'm in another relationship now and have been for a while and he has been diagnosed with Parkinsons. I'm dealing differently with this. We're very open about it It helps a lot.
I went through the same thing you are going through now when I was about 40. I could not imagine my parents death. I thought I would not want to live. I got a therapist and when the time came for my parents, I grieved, but I was fine.
I'm so glad to find your channel. I know beauty is about what's inside you but I used too always wear makeup but I stopped. Watching your channel has made me want to again. Thank you.
You are a beautiful woman inside and out.I'm going to keep watching and get to know you better and learn how to do my makeup again 💖
I just adore you! As I sit here, identifying with having to apologize to a makeup artist for being older or having to explain to a hair dresser to not give me a ‘old lady’ hair cut because I am in my 50’s. I feel young, and in I am internally screaming , "hey, I feel 25, I’m fun be around and just want you to think to too"! But instead burst into tears because they seem to look right through you. I wish there were more of you, a thousand more of you on this planet ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for sharing. Everyone struggles. Some people just don't understand mental illness and think you're over reacting, when in fact, you are dying inside. Good days and bad days 💜
