[@deborahbell-theobservantch3759]

That Celine documentary floored me, cried so much 😢 One of the best songtresses ever, and to see her in that state, and hear her voice break like that, it totally broke my heart. Will always be a legend. Congrats for the move, and cheers to new beginnings !!!

[@ITSCAROLYNGRAY]

Tell me about it. Her body is somewhat of a prison for her now and to see how vulnerable she was … how much she misses using her talent and instrument… so sad. I wanted to hug her through the screen the whole Time.

[@tracerene]

So happy for you two on this new chapter. I know it will be filled with lots of adventures and great experiences. Looking forward to see what inspires you along this new journey and the new content your planning. I love that you’re going to tap into the arts. Lol at “I can’t stand that Lil girl even more” cuz SAME!!

[@rleg9355]

I came across your channel a month ago and I can’t stop watching. Your style and character are absolutely amazing! I’m also looking for a new space as I need a total mindset shift after experiencing a devastating loss. Congrats on the new home and much success to you in the future. Lastly, that lipstick is 🔥🔥!

[@ITSCAROLYNGRAY]

💚 I’m so sorry for your loss and I hope that you have a speedy find for a new space. I also hope the search for a new place is smooth and healing 💚

So happy for you! Glad you’ll have more space…and I totally understand wanting to be on the other side of the house…😂….at least you can keep it real. And congrats on your new fitness/wellness journey…❤…and Celine is an icon…it’s like being around Micheal Jackson and pretending not to notice. 🤔 The boogie down is not readyyyyy…💫👏👏

[@KourtKay]

A new space that you love will be a game changer in mood and inspiration. Congrats. I watched the documentary as well and i feel the exact same abt Taylor. Unbelievable how ignorant she was in general AND off of the strength of what Celine is enduring yet still showing up regardless! That documentary was beyonddd eye opening

[@ITSCAROLYNGRAY]

Thank you 💚💚💚 and yes the documentary was very eye opening. I had a tough time thinking about it afterwards and also thought about people who have the same condition but do not have the resources she has to maintain it. 🥺 breaks my heart.

[@KourtKay]

Of course 💕✨ I can completely relate. I cant even and don’t even want to imagine the struggles the average person with less privilege and access has to endure just to survive and stay afloat 😔

[@NiameyThomas9]

I feel the same way about Taylor Swift. And I also feel the way about my hustle, except for me its creating the life I want to live outside of my work. I am a choreographer and teacher so I dance everyday for someone else, I want to get back to creating for me! Thanks for sharing this update!

[@Ama-qx7eq]

So happy for you both!!! This is going to be a new era for you ♥️. Can’t wait to see the red marble unit.

[@wendydaniels8618]

Thanks for an interesting and entertaining life update. I feel you on being a night owl with an early bird partner. It took my husband 5 yrs to learn not to talk to me in the morning. Lol. However, I was forced to be an early bird when we were raising our children, and that's just not my thing. I wish you blessings and wisdom to discover what works best for you. ⚘️

Whuuuut! The Bronx! I was raised in the Bronx until I was 17. Then we moved to Sugarhill. The Bronx can give you more bang for your buck but not my favorite Boro. You'll still have to travel to Manhattan for the exceptional fashions. Blessings on your move.

[@ITSCAROLYNGRAY]

💚💚💚 I’m so excited ! And it is really easy to get to the city still 🥰

[@MsChoxieNYC]

​@ITSCAROLYNGRAY I'm gonna guess your near East 138th street or East 149th Street. Those areas are being gentrified. Can you be black and be a gentrifier? I don't think so. Carlos either. Thise are black and latino neighborhoods. Sooo, you guys are good.

[@simone233]

“I can’t stand that little girl!”😂😂😂 literally my exact thoughts on TS alllll the time! Also, I TOTALLY get what you’re saying about gentrification aa a Black girl, which is a head trip. Wanting the neighborhood to have and maintain soul and original inhabitants. Wanting to engage with said inhabitants, lol. I get it all. I swear at some point I’m going to run into you (I’m in BK, from DMV and in NY since 2009!) and we gonna have a good Kiki! I was JUST discussing gentrification with my friends at book club and I HIGHLY recommend the book Olga Dies Dreaming, which touches on gentrification and NY (among other topics) so beautifully and poetically. My club all loved it.

[@francinepope7405]

Congrats on your move! I moved from BK to the Bx 6 years ago and I absolutely love it here. I live in a prewar with a laundry in the building but i have my own portable washer and dryer in my apt because i have space. I work in Manhattan - I’m so close to work now

I’m so excited for you and your upcoming move. Carolyn, I am looking forward to seeing how you will evolve. Those of us who really connect with you, I believe connect with your spirit and your sense of style is just a bonus for us. In the last two years, I’ve lost around 50lbs. But, initially it was so difficult to lose weight. Then I started listening to a few functional doctors on YT and they started talking about having elevated insulin and how that can sometimes be a barrier. I also started to eat more protein and of course I do workout. Good luck on your health journey as well as all of your other pursuits ❤

[@ITSCAROLYNGRAY]

👀👀👀 thank you for watching !!! What you’re saying about elevated insulin peaks my interest because it resonates !! That’s why I’m excited about the nutritionist because something ain’t breaking down correctly in my body and IM GOING TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF this! Also you’re a rockstar for working through that and getting your body and health to a level you’re happy with and feel about !

[@nataliea.s.4595]

Yesss to the Bronx! Bronx native here! And as much as people want to 💩 on the Bronx, the borough has so much to offer. And depending on where you’re located there’s a lot of yummy eats and culture. There’s so much to experience and discover. There’s also a lot of gentrified development but there’s still a lot of authenticity. And yes, it can get crazy from time to time but the Bronx has so much to offer. I could go on but net-net welcome! ❤🎉

[@ITSCAROLYNGRAY]

Oh this excites me so much!!! The few places I’ve visited in the Bronx for food and hanging out … IVE HAD GREAT EXPERIENCES! Have you heard of the soul food spot called Paula’s on 233rd? I LOVE THAT PLACE.

[@B.A.C.withjeannette]

Hello Carolyn. I, too, invest in myself with a personal trainer. I'm 50+ and made the decision several years back. Keeps me accountable and ensures I am working out safely. The Celine documentary was great. It was inspiring and sad 😢 ... the end, my friend! Anyway, does not matter your fame, fortune, size, color ... you just never ever know. You gotta live, in a moments notice your entire life can change! Thanks for the content ❤!

[@ITSCAROLYNGRAY]

Come on investing in our fitness!!!!! I love that!!! And yes the end of the documentary was a lot to take in, slightly traumatizing to see, and humbled by her vulnerability to share those moments.

I feel the same about that 35 year old "girl" and her antics! I'm also a lover of music and related documentaries.

Yaaaaay!!!! Well im excited to learn the Bronx and people will always have something to say about some place any where in the world. I don’t mind that stuff, I’ve always had in mind that i would move there at some point because I also like the fact that it’s connected to the rest of the country. The other boroughs are surrounded by water and to be honest that doesn’t sit will with me. I want to be able to get to my parents in Maryland without have to rely on crossing a bridge to get out the city. Know what i mean cookie? Another thing I’m excited about is finding authentic coffee spots lmaooo.

I loved this video! First of all, I continue to be happy that you guys are moving! I think the whole shopping your closet concept helps you appreciate what you have. I have found things like when did you get here?😂 I didn’t know about that Celine and Taylor Swift moment. How ridiculous and clueless. People talked about how wrong Kanye was and his timing wasn’t appropriate however… Dragging a fellow nominee up there is like saying look at how great I am to me. Chile, why is Flavor Flave so into her? IDK. Anyway, I fully support you wanting to branch out. I always think do content creators get bored staying in one lane? Sorry, for the long comment.😅❤

Celine is a legend!!! Did you hear about how Taylor Seift and her boyfriend shut down a gym just so they could work out? Had all the people standing outside during their work out, uugghhh.

[@ITSCAROLYNGRAY]

Shut down a gym …. That’s very tacky lol. But im not surprised. Celine is a legend and I hope she continues to make strides in her recovery 🥺💚

[@yahairasolognier4711]

Hey, are you saying Aruba?

[@monicaherrera2224]

I think the Celine-Taylor drama was just a misunderstanding. Taylor was instructed not to touch or go near Celine while receiving her award due to her condition. I agree that she came off rude since she didn’t acknowledge her at all, but there are photos of them talking off stage immediately after she got the award. I’m sure that if she was offended Celine would have said something to her directly. We all have our moments, and I don’t think she meant anything by that interaction The Lana thing was a lose-lose situation. She was invited on stage because she was featured on the winning album, and we all know that if she had been ignored there would also have been people calling her rude, selfish and entitled. And I disagree with calling her an ungrateful little girl. You might not like her or her music, but all the evidence points to her being a pretty decent human. Some of the positive things I’ve heard about her include: - Every writer, producer, director and musician who has worked with her describes her as incredibly gracious, kind and hardworking. Some of the people I know that have publicly praised her songwriting and work ethic include Stevie Nicks, Paul McCartney, Billy Joel, Carol King, Dolly Parton, Kobe Bryant, Shania Twain and Bruce Springsteen - She prioritizes connecting with her fans. Before the release of every album (before the pandemic) she used to invite fans to her house for a listening party where she’d bake them cookies, and talk with them for hours. People who were invited have said that they were shocked that she actually knew the names, interests, names of family members and pets of every person in the room - For the past year, at every city her tour has stopped, she donated to local food banks enough money to fund a year of their expenses - Last Christmas she gave 50 million dollars in bonuses to her employees. On average, every truck driver went home with a $100k bonus over their base pay And of course she’s not perfect. For instance, I find her political activism to be very lacking, but acting like she’s the worst the entertainment industry has to offer is absurd. In a world in which rich celebrities are known for using and abusing people under them without accountability, I think the presence of a woman who does nothing but make music, connect with her fans and win awards is a net positive

I see what you are saying even though I don’t necessarily agree. I do remember when Celine Dion got the exact same criticism when she started because she too was a teenager when she started. A vey young child who grew up and learned how to be - in the public eye.

Do you think TS was just excited... I don't like that Taylor Swift bashing... it's not a good look. As an older person it is not appealing. What is the issue with her. I'm not fan but why that reaction. I actually think TS apologized to Celine... if you're trying to grow--that's not the way. I just commented that you were so funny to another influencer. TS deserves every once of success she has--as do you...

[@ITSCAROLYNGRAY]

We can agree to disagree. I’m not a fan of her or her behavior. And i was not the only person who was offended by that, she apologized after people made a big deal about it and the apology came across disingenuous. However if you feel my reaction to someone disrespecting a legend and having questionable movements with others is a bad look for my platform, Im sorry my dear then i may not be the one for you to follow/ watch. I’m going to have strong opinions on certain things and if it rubs you the wrong way, then you have to make a decision that works best for you.

4-5 am?? I know how frustrating it can be when being awake when everyone else sleeps. And for night owels it’s usually easier to accidentally shift the sleep rhythm forward than backwards.

Haha yes Nyc when the streets are somewhat silent must be a bliss. Of course we’re all individuals and shifting the sleep can work when you do it geadually. For some it’s really hard and can lead to poorer quality of sleep etc. Good luck with it! X
