This made me cry. Again. Thank you for being so brave and sharing your story and inspiring us all to remember we don't have time to be critical of ourselves or others.
How to ADHD hi my name is Julia from south Africa and I love you the way you are so please don't stop teach us we need you, so please forget about people who don't don't love you, because we do love you more than anything else in this world ok
Yes you make me cry stop crying God loves all of us ok
I love this & I love you! So touching & inspiring 😭💖
The world NEEDS more people like you!!!! Not only do you have amazing recipes that I share with everyone, but I now know that you're an amazing person!
There is absolutely NO NEED to explain . Rudeness is Rudeness. Who has time to post evil comments on recipe videos about the cook's hair ??!! Goodness gracious , please ignore the person COMPLETELY .
If she had ignored the comment this video wouldn't be out there helping people. She made lemonade out of lemons like a BOSS CHEF
I am so glad she made this video. But I understand what you mean. However, sometimes in life there comes a time where you share with other and it helps to empower other women.
Grazinka K I think she made this video to to the others to be themselves not to explain to anyone :)
That rude person and others like them need to be "schooled" and hopefully be enlightened in their ignorant, immature existence.
Amen!
Thank you so much for this. I was recently diagnosed with a brain tumour, and like you, I won't get to grow old. You've really inspired me to put vanity aside and love myself now. You rock lady! xo
Your husband sounds like a great catch but you're the greatest catch! I'm so sorry to hear about your illness, your philosophy is so inspiring to me. Also I am making your bran muffins tomorrow! Much love from New Zealand xx
You're struggles have given you wisdom. Most people just grow bitter. You are a remarkable woman.
Thank you for this... I've spent my whole life thinking that "if I lose 10 lbs I'll be happy..." and this is a reminder for me to make peace with those voices and accept myself as I am! You're a beautiful person and I'm not talking about what you look like... thanks again.
My wife and I cried watching this. Your honesty is sobering and appreciated. She has an auto immune disease as well (pernicious anemia). We hear you girl!
Great Job Rachel. It was an absolute pleasure getting to know you.
What an inspiration you are! I turned 71 this month and went completely silver in my early 50s. I decided to embrace my silver and let women know you can be beautiful as you age. It's all about attitude! And you, my sweet stay at home chef, radiate a positive attitude and I applaud you.
Looking at your thumbnail, your silver suits you very well!
When I first noticed you, my first thought is how beautiful and shiny your hair is. And you're equally beautiful on the inside. I wish you all the best.
I'm so sorry that someone could be so mean. You have a wonderful husband, and you are a wonderful person. I know it's so easy to focus on negative comments, but please ignore them. There's so many individuals in the world that feed off others miseries. I just found your channel this year and fell in love with you and your wonderful personality.
I cannot say it any better than Tabby just did. You are precious!

I don't even know where to start, what a horrible comment. You actually look younger than 30! The person who wrote that must be very unhappy and go through life thinking people need to change themselves to suit what others say they need to look like. I've seen tons of your videos and the only thing I've noticed are your DELICIOUS recipes and bubbly/happy personality.
So for that horrible comment I'd like to leave a positive one...
I'm a single father, I work full time, and I usually hate cooking. Since I've been watching your videos I've been inspired to make delicious dishes for my family. Your videos have helped to bring my family closer together and have made meal times yummier (is that a word?) and happier.
Thank you so much for sharing your story and your AMAZING recipes!
She def looks older then 30. Single fathers generally have super low standards tho so......
@@unklecorky2181 I can only imagine how pathetic and miserable your life must be for you to leave a comment like that.
I've never felt so proud to be a follower of a blogger. Amazing speech.
Firstly I will say Thank You. I had a conversation with one of my daughters about 'vulnerability'. It is one of the most scariest and intimate things you can share with anyone, let alone all your subscribers. To stand and in front of all of us and peel away your professional layer and let us into your extremely personal struggle and your pain makes all of us stronger. Thank You from the bottom of my heart! Everyone has one kind of stress or struggle they deal with but you handled it with the most exquisite elegance and grace. Your eyes looking straight into the camera, never looking down. Your voice, kind and mindful; not a hint of anger or malice. Your beautiful smile never wavering, even through your tears. Your message...POWERFUL. I cried through the whole thing. And as for those little gray hairs...well according to my grand-daughter she exclaimed one day to her Mom..."Mommy, how come you have tinsel in your hair?!"
You are welcome and thank you for the kind words!
Very positive woman with a very positive message=).
You are a very beautiful lady. I am saying this as a man looking at a very beautiful sexy woman. Don't allow negative people to upset you and stress you out. Your husband is a very lucky man. I envy him. Thank you for sharing your videos. I always enjoy them.
Every since I found your channel, I have thought nothing less than the fact you are a Beautiful young lady with a EXCELLENT talent for cooking!! I enjoy everyone of your recipes and have tried a few and they were absolutely delicious. I would've never known any of this about you if you didn't share this vid. You are nothing less than BEAUTIFUL and a very talented chef that was fearfully and wonderfully made. I have gray hair too and I love mine!! Great vid.
You rock lady! Sending you love, blessings and wishes that you live until your 200+ and still spreading such positive (and necessary) messages. The world need more people like you!
Thank you for all your positive comments about yourself! You go girl! Your husband sounds so loving!
To be honest I've been so busy drooling over the delicious food you make I didn't actually notice your hair. A friend of mine had the most gorgeous nut brown hair at school, she started turning grey at 17 and by her mid 20's she was completely grey. You think you've got a big nose? You haven't seen mine love. I could give you a list as long as the great wall of China of people with imperfections, we ALL have them. Even the so and so that made that nasty comment. It's our imperfections that make us unique. Ignore the nasty people they're just jealous. You just keep coming up with all those delicious recipes 😊 please. There's a song by Gloria Gaynor - I Am What I Am - listen to it then sing it. Live laugh and love. ❤️❤️❤️
Don't count your faults count your blessings. You're beautiful inside and out. And you have a lovely smile so show it off girl! 😊💜❤️
I had to go back and re-watch this. Great story and very inspiring
Thank you for sharing this! I feel so blessed to have lived long enough to have grey hair. I was told I probably wouldn't make it passed my 20s, and here I am almost 42 and thriving!
Thanks for the great video! I just recently discovered your recipes and I normally don't subscribe to stuff like that but you seemed so nice! You don't have to give a crap what other people think of you. Just be yourself and be happy. I'm 64 years old and quit dying my hair years ago - I now have a great salt & pepper hair color which people compliment me on occasionally!! I'm overweight as well after years of being an athlete and I just don't care anymore. If I want to sit and play video games all day I do! I no longer care about keeping up with the Joneses. Old age gives you certain freedoms which are great - plus you get a senior discount! :) I love your recipes because they are simple to make - no overly fancy ingredients or complicated cooking methods.
Thanks for this. I'm 53 and have had major health problems since I was 17. I've had cancer (been there, done that), peritonitis, kidney failure, dialysis, and currently on my 2nd kidney transplant (first one failed after chemo). I *was* going grey just before cancer (in 2001). When I lost all my hair and it grew back, I no longer have grey hair. I'm just getting a few grey hairs now. People think I dye my hair (I don't). I have huge deformed veins on my left arm and my abdomen is a maze of scars. I'm not expecting to live a helluva lot longer (*might* reach 70, but pretty doubtful). My birthdays are more like "phew, still here" and I'm happy to be getting older. After all, the alternative isn't that appealing. Funny thing is, I say this to some people and they think "the alternative" to getting older is to lie about age. No... that's not it. The alternative to getting older is a pretty permanent state of not being alive. Even with all this, I'm a fairly happy person. I'm still here, still going and trying hard to still enjoy life. For me, it's alone (with the exception of family), since the guys I meet aren't usually in the same league as your husband apparently is.
I'm not writing this to have people feel sorry for me or anything. I'm writing this because, according to the world in general, I'm not an acceptable model of what a woman should look like. I'm not young, pert, pretty, or slim. I am, however, STILL HERE. I'm also a lot happier than some of these judgemental-type people are... even with all my problems (or "faults").
So thanks for the video. Thanks for standing up to the judgemental sad little person who dared to say that you should change to suit his image of what a COOK should look like. Thanks for being open and honest and emotional and beautiful. Just... thanks.
Anyone who would "dislike" after viewing this rawly beautiful, bittersweetly truthful presentation, would seem to be spiritually lost, and ugly in the WORST way. 💙
Thank you for sharing your struggles. I have an autoimmune disease as well and it's hard on my body, everyday is different. It took me a long time to actually tell friends and members of my family that I had this disease but it felt good once I did. You remind me of how things are gonna be okay even though sometimes it feels like it might not. Thank you thank you thank you!
oh my god. this left me speechless. thank you rachel :)
i have to tell you this. i am 26 yrs old, i had jaw surgery 2 years ago...and i too am starting to develop prominent gray hair, where i used to have black hair. its called premature graying. i havent yet colored them because frankly at the moment i cant afford to cause them more damage. I love your husbands philosophy on aging. it is so inspiring. i am definitely going to think about it every time i want to do something to make them disappear. So much love to you :)
also...thank you for addressing this. you could have let it slide but you chose to confront it. could not have been easy. but i admire you for it :)
First of all you are beautiful! I would love to look as good as you do! I also have a autoimmune disorder Lupus SLE and was given a shorten lifespan and went gray at 16. I am now 51 and totally white headed now. It is really sad that someone would make rude comments just to hurt someone. We can only pray for those that are unhappy. Enjoy your life with your husband and keep those awesome dishes coming TFS!!!
P.S Block Them!
I've learned more from you, than any chef on here. Your simplicity, even with gray hairs is the beauty of it all. Thank you for doing what you do.
Thank you for being a voice to help those of us that need to hear this
This made me so happy! You are beautiful! Your soul is beautiful as well you are a rare gem! Thank you for existing and for making this video.
Such inspiration! I'm in tears for you. This vid has made me luv you more than I did before.
I dyed my hair for decades. At some point, I told myself 'Who am I trying to fool?' I've got some years on me and it's okay. Now I wear my gray locks long and flowing and always with some sort of flowers, a headband, a garland, a wreath, some huge ones pinned to the top of my crown bun or picking up the strands to behind my ears. I have a whole wardrobe. The point is I embrace my gray hair. You go with your bad self!
Also my husband of 42 yrs tells me all the time I'm beautiful. He remembers me as a young bride, his young bride!
Oh sweet Rachel - You made us cry! We have loved you for years, you are the blogger and talent we want to be! Your generosity in sharing your knowledge is rare. Your story is so touching and so well spoken. My body is chubby but fun and it does what I want it to do and I kinda like it :). It isn't like anybody elses. It's mine. My husband and daughter love it, so I do my best to embrace it. I am SO glad you addressed this and hope that person who wrote that comments is feeling terrible. But holy cow you ARE soooo pretty! That's just the truth. Beautiful inside and out! xoxoxo!
You are a lovely young woman and it sounds like your husband is so sweet and in love with you! I'm sorry about your auto immune disease. I suffer with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome but nothing like what have been thru. I always thought you are so very beautiful. Also your cooking is amazing. Stay inspiring to all of us out here!!!! God bless. And enjoy your Thanksgiving
You're an inspiration... Thank you for this!! And btw, you're beautiful inside and out :-)
You nailed it gal! Proud of you and yes...you are very beautiful :)
You are truly beautiful inside and out! You are also an inspiration and a breath of fresh air in a world with expectations that no one can live up too.
Thank you for being yourself, you are indeed an inspiration to us all! ❤️
I came across this on Facebook, I am so happy to see you stand up against criticism, especially in such an open form. It takes a lot of confidence and power to do such a wonderful thing! You are a beautiful person in many ways!
you are great and your husband is a good man!!! 💞
You are amazing! To be able to address everything about yourself with love is something that I've never seen anyone be able to do. Ever! You are truly an inspiration. I don't know you personally but I wish I did. I think you're absolutely stunning inside and out
You are amazing, brave and beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing your true, vulnerable self with so much openness & generosity. You are an inspiration. Loving & embracing my body has been a lifelong journey for me (as for so many women). Now being in my late 40s, and watching the many changes occurring in my body is yet another challenge. Your video touched my deepest heart and helped shift a little something in me. I think I might even allow my hair to go gray naturally! Thank you.
I want to thank you for sharing your story with others. This is like the 3rd time it has showed up on my fb wall and it seems to appear exactly when I need to see it. Your a living testimony. Thank you again!
Bravo! You are beautiful!! Thanks so much for sharing. I am an ADHD coach and work with people who constantly feel ashamed. Looking at our strengths helps us move forward with confidence. Stay brave!
I only recently found your cooking channel and have loved watching you make great food. I thought you seemed like a very happy person and as far as gray hair, I have had it since I was 16 years old. Your husband is very wise. I colored my hair for years and finally had the courage to let it go natural and I love it. Don't listen to the negatives. You are a beautiful person.
Wow! This blew me away! First off, I have to say that Rachel is incredibly brave, beautiful and courageous! To build a site that not only has fantastic recipes (that is what hooked me in the first place) but to actually share such intimate information that might actually help others. I applaud anyone that can embrace themselves and consider flaws as flawless and turns bullying into beauty! I have health issues myself and am also lucky to have a fantastic husband who understands and loves me no matter what. Most RUclipsrs are so superficial. They throw shade at anyone who doesn’t aesthetically pass their standards. It takes strength and courage to speak up and out about these things! Disclaimer: what you put out in the world will come back to you 10 fold… so please be kind. Nobody is perfect… but to love one’s self is❤️
This is just such an amazing story! Totally touched my heart
Thank You!! For standing up for yourself, and for all of us. Also, thank you for being honest about your medical reality. As someone who also struggles with chronic illness (Type I Diabetes), its so inspiring to see you open and honest about your reality. Thank you.
Wow! You have just made me so proud to be your fan. I too rock my grey's. I have earned each and everyone of them. Self confidence does not come in a bottle, it comes from embracing who you are. And you are beautiful inside and out!
Hi Rachel, I watched this video and I felt tears running down my cheek! These are mean remarks from them, narrow minded sad and very unkind individuals. They have not been shown love by others, therefore they cannot show love to others! You are loved by many who knows to show love because they are loved too ❤️ J ❤️ U
Thank you so much for making this video. This video is a TREASURE. Thank you so much for reminding us that life is short to spend it hating ourselves and picking up on others. Spread love ♡. May God bless you. *Hugs* to the best chef 💙
I’m so very proud of you!!!!
Thank you for being an inspiration
All the Best......
You are a true GIFT to this world and beautiful inspiration to all us! Thank you for having the courage to make this video and for inspiring all of us. The world needs more people like you. You are beautiful in every way shape and form. May only good health and happiness come your way!
Thank you for the kind words!
I realize this isn't what this video is about - but the crazy thing is that you're not just beautiful because of your mind and personality and making videos like this one. - You're a beautiful personal FULL STOP. - regardless of the list of 'flaws' you've stated (which nobody in their right mind would ever notice bar yourself) - you always look so happy, so healthy. I'm sure you inspire a lot of people around you.
This was a lovely video. I just started growing out my greys (34 yrs old) and I hear constantly, you need to dye your hair. But I'm actually excited for it to grow out. Thanks for being an inspiration. You're beautiful!
Much applause!! 💖
Thank you for taking something hurtful and turning it into something positive for so many people.
Thank you so much for sharing your story, your an inspiration!
Wow! I'm so thankful for your insight and perspective and how you expressed it so well in this video. Thank you, thank you for sharing.
I've been following your blog for a while now, and really enjoying it. I knew I liked you. I could feel your 'realness' coming through your videos. Thanks for being so open and honest and encouraging others to be as whole and evolved as you are. You're rockin' it! xo
This is such and inspiring video. THANK YOU for bravely sharing your story. Blessings xx
Even if I had noticed any or all of the things you mentioned (which I didn't), I would have still loved you. Your smile, alone, brightens my day and I look forward to seeing it.
I just saw this posted/shared on THM and love you and this is what I had to say, and thank you
You are welcome!
I love this. I love you. I miss you. You are such an inspiration. Thank you for getting to know me, and teaching me to be positive.

Loved every word u said...Big Salute to your wonderful shiney and brave Soul ...May you live happily for more and more years to come ...Peace, Salam 💞
Omg. This is sooo inspiring !! 💙
I love your message! Your heart shining is so brightly through this video. Keep shining and inspiring us all! ✨
Thank you so much for sharing your message. It was extremely uplifting. I will continue to do the same as so many women need to hear it.
Thank you for sharing your story, and this powerful message! Let's all try to #bethatperson for others (and ourselves)!
Thank you for speaking your truth...so many women, me included, feel the same as you. We all just want to love ourselves, but society (and internet trolls) make it almost impossible. I stumbled upon your facebook feed and loved how knowledgeable you are, real, and your recipes looked (and taste) delicious. Keep being YOU and I'll keep watching and learning...with MY gray hair!
I think that you just provide the perfect definition of the real beauty, the inside beauty. Keep doing the same and never change a bit
Goodness, you are beautiful in your cooking videos and after watching this, I see that your heart matches that Beauty! I am very glad you posted this video and I am going to share with my friends- we do in fact need more people building other people up. God bless you!
Thank you for sharing! I think you are courageous and smart. A real overcomer!
I just came across this video on FB and and absolutely loved it! Although you didn't HAVE TO give an explanation, I'm so glad you did. I hope it opened some people's eyes. You're lovely and I am so glad I found you. God Bless!!! 🙏🏼
You're a beautiful person with a wonderful soul!!! amen sista! keep lovin and livin and may u live until 120 in good health!
Great message. You are absolutely right. We need more women to build eachother up. I love how positive you are.
I saw your video on Facebook but I looked for you to say one thing thank you it's really great to be you :) really loved every detail about you :) :) thanks god I love myself but as you said it takes a lot of time to accept yourself because of harmful people. We need people like you :*
You're a freakin ROCKSTAR!!! I love your cooking videos for sure but this is, by far, the best video you've ever made IMO. And I hope and pray that you love to do everything that makes you feel complete and fulfilled. God bless you young woman!! Let's rock our gray hairs together!!!
*LIVE to do
I love this! I added it to my Playlist called Profound because I think it totally fits that title. Thank you so much for sharing it with us.
Really inspiring. Thank you for sharing this!
Bravo for your attitude and directness and authenticity ( have been gray since 20's). Much needed call out to the writer of that comment. ET
Rachel, I’ve viewed your video a few times & am always inspired by your grace & strength of character. I just shared this with my sister. Also love your recipes! God bless you & your family ❤️😌
I found my first one a few weeks ago...I am BEYOND excited!!! I LOVE that little strand. I cant wait until I get more!!!
I received this video translated to my language (Arabic) and came searching for the original one to post a comment .. you are AMAZING honestly the world needs more people like you .. I love people who are confident and rocking their (bodies/skin/hair .. everything) I had a distorted image of myself and I had an eating disorder for 10 years and I spent a LONG time trying to be nice and kind to myself and I have come along way specially in the last year .. but one of the things that I appreciate out of this awful experience is that I never judge people like others around me .. I never say comments like "she's so beautiful .. and she would be even more beautiful if she lost weight" / "she's so beautiful but if her hair was shorter/longer/ another color" / "he's so handsome how did he end up with her" (a "not so" beautiful girl) .. I never even think these things between me and myself .. I really love and appreciate all kinds of beauty and most of all the beauty within .. love you and you are truly BEAUTIFUL ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Man I love you!! You are an inspiration to all of us may God be with you.
You rock!! This is beautiful and the world needs more people like you!!! Thank you for your wise words!!!
Wow, you are amazing. Your message is very deep and touching. Thank you and your wonderful family for sharing.😁
I have recently started following your channel and have tried the recipes and I love them. Hoping you have strength to cope up. Always keep smiling.
Couldn't agree more and all the more power to you...God bless! xx
I've been a subscriber for some time and this really touched me. How did I miss this? You're beautiful through and through. God bless.
Thanks for this beautifully articulated video :). I also had a jaw deformity and had to wait until I had stopped growing to get it "fixed" - and I went through the exact emotional journey I'm hearing you describe. I have mixed feelings about the fact that I had to go through the journey of removing something I didn't like about myself to realise that things like that, it turns out, don't matter at all.
And life is full of well-meaning quotes about loving yourself for who you are. I *thought* I knew what it meant... until I realised what it meant.
Powerful stuff. Thank you for being you.
Thanks for listening
Thanks for this. I had to re-find this, I remembered it from when you first posted it. This reminder is much needed! Thank you for being an influence for good in the world ❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing. You touched me with your video.
Thank you, you don't know how much I needed to hear your message. Thank you
You are welcome!
Wow! I didn't even notice the gray hairs, and thought you were in your late 20's like 27-28! Don't let anyone get you down. Your husband sounds so sweet! Love your videos! Hope you have an awesome holiday season!
I have never ever commented on a RUclips video before but after seeing this I had to. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL! Inside & out! It takes a strong woman to stand up to ignorant bullies and be proud of herself. I wish you love, joy, peace, and blessings. Please continue to be a light for those who can't see the beauty in themselves or others!
I so enjoyed watching your video and when I decided to let my gray hair grow out after coloring since I was 25, I went for it. I am now in my 70's and get a lot of negative remarks from my family and friends. You know what, I'm over their remarks and living to be the person I am today! Congratulations on realizing who you are and it isn't about what negative people have to share hurtful words. Too bad they can't put their energy into something positive.
Yes! I love this. I love that you didn't tear down the person who wrote that comment. You are one classy lady. God bless you and your family! And that wonderful husband of yours!
You are awesome! As my mom used to say, "I EARNED every one of those grey hairs!" Like you, she wore them as a badge of honor. Sorry for the pain you have been through. I hope that commenter sees your video. We need more people like you! Good luck!
