#66 Quitting YouTube, Leaving Portugal, Having a Baby, How Much we Paid, Life Off-Grid Q&A

[@patlockwood6207]

We are a family of doctors. I am interested if you will ever return to medicine? I understand your family's disappointment. My daughter has not practiced in many years. I did see a difference in your personality and less tension in your face.Whatever you are doing, don't stop. So many times I tell my patients anxiety comes from adhering to what the people around you expect. Free yourself and be your own community. I am so glad for you. Thanks for sharing.

[@JenShea]

You must be a wonderful doctor. Such beautiful advice.

[@susanq4282]

How inspiring. I am in my 60’s and I still love it when I see someone young figuring it out to the beat of their own drum. It takes courage, Keep going❤️❤️❤️

[@doras.allotment]

Amen to this!

[@justoneacre7873]

Wow all this time I thought you had dead straight hair!! I love your curls!

[@marykappesser5145]

I started watching your channel because of the garden. But I realized that find so much inspiration from you, as a person. I appreciate your point of view and understand the struggles you have been through to feel the courage to be yourself. You are a beautiful woman inside and out. I love the natural hair in todays video. But I sure do understand needing it out of your face and off your neck. I'm the same way. Thank you for taking the risk to be open about your life choices. I sure do appreciate you.

[@doras.allotment]

I echo all of this so much, brilliant words, Mary!

[@ambientwaves612]

😂Some Family members are never happy no matter what you do. I also moved abroad and now it is only me and my husband. It's totally bliss, no drama life. Your hair looks great btw.

[@skywatcher5725]

I really loved this video Eugenia, seeing you with your beautiful hair down. It is special that you shared personal things about yourself. I appreciate your honesty and humility. I am old now so I will not be doing very much, but I love to watch you work and reflect on the hard work I did in years past. You are an inspiration to me to do what I can do at this stage of my life. I am learning to do some fiber arts, like crochet and sewing. Your videos bring peace to me; I watch them over and over.

[@hildachacon001]

I am so sorry but I am having a hard time listening to what you are saying because the background music is beautiful but I think it overtakes your voice. Thanks again for all your wonderful videos.

[@martinamikulicova7198]

Just turn on the automatic subtitles / closed captions (cc), it helps 😊

[@markcastro7628]

same here...

[@emmahaslam1905]

I didn't notice that. I just found her really vibrant today and even thought her voice was stronger than before!

[@thinkplanetearth2946]

You can always rewind and put captions on. I sometimes do that on other channels where it's hard to hear, etc.

[@supermunich]

the music sucks

[@nonkundwandwe8968]

I loooovvvvvveeeedddd this episode!!!!! Please do more sit downs💗💗💗. It's so refreshing and inspiring to hear your journey... Wish you all the best 💐

[@raymondszmigiel7627]

Really enjoyed your Q&A video. Some of what you said I remember from other videos, but some of what I heard is new. I really like the part about resilience and not giving up. I often see your video first thing on Sunday morning here in the Eastern U.S., and I find them very relaxing and enjoyable to listen to. Look forward to more in the future at whatever frequency you are most comfortable with. I have seen an increasing number of YTubers slowing down their frequency of posting, recognizing the pressure that posting every week puts on them.

[@DavGreg]

Creating long form video content worthy of watching takes a lot of work and burnout is definitely a thing.

[@aliciathom9633]

Lovely to see you looking so relaxed and happy. Great Q&A, however I found the music a bit loud, as I wanted to be able to hear what you were saying. Love to you and Pepe, and Lolita and Aspen! ❤️

[@igavinwood]

You have made many 'friends' with what you have shared on You Tube. So thank you for the past and good luck for the future. As always you leave us smiling.

[@m.a_sky_walker]

You look fabulous Eugenia!!! So glad you had a restful break. I, for one, have missed you!! Love and light to you sister.

[@christokaloudis2050]

So glad that your feeling happy ❤ you look beautiful with the hair ❤ I’m happy that you and papa are not leaving KZbin ❤stay strong the life you are living is the way people should be living old school in modern day

[@kimberlyg123]

You have such beautiful hair! You should wear it down more often…when it’s not so hot.

[@AS-lh7rc]

You should not tell women what they should do with their appearance

[@kimberlyg123]

@@AS-lh7rc I am a woman and see nothing wrong with telling another woman she’s beautiful and has beautiful hair. 🙄 I also have long curly hair and live in a hot climate so I completely understand putting it up all the time. I do as well.

[@AS-lh7rc]

​​@@kimberlyg123I get it but still think it's important to be aware of all the shoulding women face (especially online) Think of 'you should smile more'

So nice to hear you speak casually ❤❤ love your hair so much natural - you are beautiful! 🥰 so proud of everything you guys have done, wow!!!

[@sewlavie]

Also: we used to life in California for 5 years as well! It was beautiful! But we are happy to to be back in Europe as well, there are many advantages...thanks for the electrolyte comment! I had this never-enough-water feeling in California, I thought it was connected to the chlorine in the water. But I guess I was always short on electrolytes🙈it will help me now with the running in summer🙏🏼

[@Ana-Maria-Sierra]

Please share the brand/website of the oil you use on your hair and skin. Thank you!

[@MN-dt2kq]

You are so Beautiful inside and out. I’ve been following you since early to mid COVID and you have been so inspiring with your ability to resonate positively, understanding, perspective, perseverance. You always lift me up and make me feel thankful for my blessings and who I am in this world. Thank you for sharing your journey and wish you many blessings to come❤🙏🏼 hugs I will always follow you wherever you are 🎉

[@yevheniia_klysha]

You look relaxed, rested, free. Thank you for this beautiful and inspiring video!

[@Sarah-xw2ff]

I live in the US in another overpriced city. If it makes you and Pepe feel better, the story goes that everyone always moves to California but usually they (more often than not) end up moving away again. It has many attributes and a nice lifestyle. But the prices are just not sustainable except for the very rich there. No one should have to pay millions of dollars for a good home. Also with the climate change, homeless crisis and smog it is becoming less desirable more recently. I think you made an excellent choice and Portugal has so much natural beauty along with a reasonable cost of living. It seems a lot of people agree. Yes purpose in life is a priority over social circle but I am sure you'll have your friends forever! Best wishes to you both! We love your channel and it's one of my absolute favorites! Beautiful cinematography and I like your philosophies on life as well!

[@donnaroth9918]

Thank you for sharing this video. ❤ I’m not sure who said this, but it changed my perspective…why do we only focus on the water in the glass? It is never half empty. It may only be half a glass of water, but then the other half is air. who is to say the air isn’t more important? So, I’m grateful for the water and the air ;) It seems that you are too, as you often point out that we should look for the opportunities that arise in the midst of struggles. Thank you.😊

[@gracegomes2632]

I am so happy for you both. Living your journey on your terms! Continued Blessings of health, and accomplishments!

[@graceful-shakti9019]

I bet everyone would love to see what new projects you get into after the house is built and decorated.

[@ronaldv_tm]

Thank you for your explanations, all of them. I understand, although I am a little disappointed and hoping you will not be leaving forever. I wanted to remark that today, I saw a very relaxed Eugenia. Sometimes in your videos, you seemed a little tense, but not today. Today your face is soft and I absolutely LOVE your long curls and the way they frame your face, you should do this more often (yeah, I know: not practical)!

[@jennykolbjornsen6805]

I'm enjoying this q&a ❤ I love your stance on taking charge of your life and graciously letting your family have their own opinion and not letting it affect your dreams! Bravo 👏🏼 Good for you'

[@justbynature]

So nice to learn a little more about you! Thanks for sharing :) I would love to hear about how you film, your go-to camera equipment and how you usually film (is Pepe filming you or do you use a tripod). You don’t have to give away any secrets I just really appreciate the cinematic quality of your videos and would love to know how the magic is created :) ✨

[@jag2002]

Obrigada Eugenia! Lovely Q&A and happy you'll be back with more videos. I totally get it about the hair. I had mine short for the last two years and I'm currently growing it long and often it is pulled back to get it out of the way. 💇‍♀ Yours is very beautiful when down and curly. Lovely to see you more at ease. 💚

[@macynthiamagbanua6522]

Thank you for so generously sharing your 'life". Loved this. All the best to you and Pepe. So looking forward to seeing the progress you've made in your house. God bless!!

[@saracherchi197]

You spread light around you, even through a screen 🤍🌟

[@daisyfieldparrks9320]

I didn't get a notice that you posted and I am subscribed to all! I saw this video in the feed. Glad it showed up. This was sooooooogoood.

[@lizalayl]

Thanks for sharing some things about your life ❤

[@denisamanhica]

Hi Eugenia 🥰 You look so rested and brighter. Well done for taking your needed break and that hair looks so good on you ❤ Thank you for sharing, you are very inspiring to me 😘

[@thinkplanetearth2946]

Hola Eugenia, me gusto el video. Gracias. Pregunta, no pude entender la marca que dijiste que usabas para tus aceites esenciales. Te agradecería si pudieras decirme que es. Gracias.

[@startpage717]

BEAUTIFUL. Dream, plan, and do not complain, once you. decide...keep moving forward and enjoy the happy and challenging times without whining or complaining. (Agree when you want to can you. wear. your locks out more) BEAUTIFUL Vlog...

[@betsiedeysel316]

What you say is so true. I have straight hair,and I was totally distracted by your beauty, but especially your curly hair. You have a strength inside of you that are very inspiring to me. I forget to enjoy the little things,and you remind me to make the little things enjoyable. Just a bunch of flowers that you enjoy looking at or enjoy arranging can bring so much joy to a person. You are also not scared to get the hard jobs done,and that is so empowering!!thank you

[@TheDarstarr]

I have curly hair, I prefer it curly! But i also prefer it in a bun when Im working

[@cepheid_variable3386]

Thank you for your most powerful of perspectives. I quite enjoyed your comments about NOT trying to live up to someone else's perception of "status". You and Pepe's strength of will and perseverance will provide unbounded returns.

[@rachellee2967]

Loving this Q and A. Can you consider doing a video for your kitchen items and furniture. I love your plates and dinning table very much.

[@littlebit6147]

I could have watched this all day. You are an amazing person. I love your outlook on everything!

[@cathybrewer8958]

Enjoyed your video and watching you and Pepe building the house. Your gardens always look perfect too.

[@Native-Kitty]

Your curly hair looks STUNNING on you Eugenia! Love it girl I am team Pepe, it looks beautiful like that although I definitely understand why you wear it up all the time. I am the same way with my curly hair. ❤❤

[@pamelaboyland6953]

Thanks for sharing your story! 🤩

[@emese_p]

Hola Eugenia! I am a long time subscriber, but I don't really comment that much. I'm so happy and proud that you could "break free" from your family's expectations and do what you love and live where you like :) it is such a freeing feeling! you can be creative, have your own schedule... I originally subscribed for the gardening content (as I'm started my own garden a couple years ago) but I really like your viewpoint on the world, sustainability, building, etc. We are really like-minden based on your content :)

[@jackiedamico8236]

You are beautiful inside and out. Lots of wonderful life ahead of you and Pepe.

[@darlenechandler2403]

Happy to see you back, love your hair. I too have the same hair and am constantly putting it up when cooking and doing things around my home. All the best with your life choices. I love your videos and watching from Canada.

[@mariolafiguerola]

Gracias por toda la info, un gusto tenerte de vuelta, y esoty de acuerdo con Pepe, el pelo suelto te queda genial. 🫶

[@MollyVSmurl]

Can you speak on how you learned to cook and garden at this level ? So admirable and inspiring ❤❤

[@NilDreams]

This was a great Q &A. It felt like just hanging out with a friend and chatting about life. I think this is my first time commenting even though I’ve been subscribed for a long time. I love your channel. ❤

[@CeciliaValdes656]

I love your videos; they are very informative, aesthetically beautiful and extremely motivating. This intimate conversation you have with us through this video, draws us definitely closer, so thank you very much!!! Just one (superficial) remark, your hair is so beautiful; why do you straighten your hair?

[@Sara-mp4ut]

So happy you are back! Great Q&A ❤

[@joeplusolga]

Thank you! You are so beautiful inside and outside! You will have wonderful children 😊

[@One_Crazy_Dog_Mum]

I agree 100%, you need to let go of people who always feel the need to bring you down to make themselves feel better, never feel bad to walk away to save yourself and relieve yourself of the anxiety. I also understand what you mean when you said hosting people makes more work for you as I am also a nurturer and will always go above and beyond to make people feel welcome and it always means days of preparation, days of hosting and days of work to clean up and catch up. Thanks for sharing, love to Lolita I hope she’s feeling much better. 🫶🏻Michelle 🇦🇺

Have you ever thought about putting the left over shoes/bags of your brand on your website and sell it there? - also, beautiful hair, and most importantly: you look recovered & relaxed😉❤

[@KewBlinkla]

I have medium hair that’s fine and it’s wavy and I can’t stand it in my face either!!!! I live in a cool climate so I use a clip often to get it out of my face, but I really really relate! May I add - I love the music and speaking, it’s very enjoyable, but I do sometimes find it’s just a touch too loud, I have to focus when you’re speaking just with the difference in accent, and I really like that because it makes me concentrate even more, but I sometimes find the music makes it a little tricky. Love your videos! 🤍

[@UNLABELED_UN-NAMED]

You are a very brave, courageous, wise and spiritual being. Thank you for sharing this with us.

Eugenia, you have such a lovely accent and a soothing voice- I could listen to you talk all day. My husband and I have 1 acre of land and are working toward being as self-sufficient as we can as well. It's hard work, but so satisfying!

[@Dzedemina]

I've been following you for so so so looong, from the start and I'm so glad you made this video. I will never understand people who can post such silly questions like language. I was born and live in Bosnia and Herzegovina, on my channel I spoke in both English and Bosnian, depending on the video. But when people write under my silent vlog, why don't you smile, you look like you died.. Have people really become that stupid... So stupid that they don't see how powerful social networks and the English language are to give you the opportunity to make money, to advertise yourself, to live from it.. For some of us, this is the only income we live on... They also write to me that I am fat, that I am uneducated if I think I can live off drinking coffee.. Some of us did not have the privilege to enjoy the charms of a healthy family, that you have support to get an education and do what you want.. Some of us the road is thorny.. You are beautiful, just the way you are and stay that way.. Don't listen to anyone, I don't either.. I only listen to myself..💟 A 32-year-old silent vloger mom from the village in the Bosnia and Herzegovina sends a big warm hug. 💟

Hola Eugenia. Lo primero decir que me encantan tus vídeos, realizas un formato precioso y llenas de belleza cada imagen. Gracias a ti me anime a realizar un pequeño huerto en permacultura y tener un contacto algo más auténtico con lo que somos en naturaleza. Además de entender algo la importancia de un vínculo sano entre nuestro huerto y lo que comemos. Me gustaría saber si puedes activar subtitulo en español porque hay algunas cosas que no termino de comprender en inglés y me encantaría entender mucho más de tu precioso contenido. Mucho ánimo siempre, eres muy especial y das mucha luz y equilibrio a los que te escuchamos con atención. ❤

I was waiting for a Q&A! ❤

[@lupus9596]

I think I have lived your life as well. My parents were never happy with any of my choices. We used to laugh when we first got married because my parents would say, Why don't you go out, you are young you need to go out more. Then when we started going out we were told. Why are you always out you need to stay home and save money. You are right, their trauma affects our lives. Good for you for doing what is right for you. Love your space.

[@Puy-j2g]

Love your videos! Just wondering why you didn’t choose to build the new house using straw bales or straw/clay slip within the structural frame. These natural materials are relatively dirt cheap, provide superior insulation, coupled with lime plaster create a healthy interior environment with their ability to regulate humidity, no need to use paint, plus it’s ecological.

[@doria551]

Loved this video! Thank you so much for your answer :)
