A very *REALISTIC* NYC vlog - if you don't watch this... I don't blame you 🫠

[@theregoesgail]

If you've ever been in a terrible funk, what are some ways that help you to get out of it? Asking for a friend 😅 As always, thank you so much for watching ♥

[@kristinestocker]

Exercise really can help. Try taking a walk each day for the adrenalin and fresh air. Feel better!

[@debbiesimms1545]

When I’m feeling down or sad I like to either put on some of my favourite songs and sing along or put on sad songs and gave myself a good cry Either way it generally helps Feel better ❤

[@iraschulman9536]

You could always hang out with your favorite uncle! You are the coolest ever !

[@theregoesgail]

@@iraschulman9536 now this is a guaranteed way to feel better

[@patriciatavis8773]

I like to take a walk or get lost in a good book. Hope you are feeling better!

[@bree8150]

I couldn’t help but giggle when you prepped us to look at the sink - I expected a mountain of sticky funky plates - but then you pan over and show us the cutest little stack of demure lady dishes. lol. And thank you for sharing your true self with us and trusting us with your vulnerability. You are so refreshingly human, and it’s a gift to show others we aren’t alone in these very real experiences and feelings. I’m glad you got to feeling better the next day. 🫶

[@theregoesgail]

😅 those seemed like a mountain of dishes to me! Haha

[@kimmhclouthier2594]

A wise person once told me when your overwhelmed ask yourself, hungry angry or tired. If it is in your power to fix any of those things it’s a great place to start. It’s ok to have off days, they make us appreciate the good ones. Feel better 😊

[@theregoesgail]

So true - and thank you!

[@cathyg3020]

No worries, Gail... we all love you! We've all been in a mood!

[@allyjoy5943]

Thank you for your realness!! Keep it up. The authenticity is refreshing.

[@delmorrow896]

A real funk from you is so much more honest and relatable than the phony, forced conviviality that exists on other creators’ channels. You know the ones - where everything is always sunshine and roses and smiling and so goshawful fake. Whoever first said “this,too, shall pass” knew what they were talking about.

[@theregoesgail]

Appreciate it!! ♥️

Hey girl, thank you for putting a real video out about just being stressed and overwhelmed. I totally feel that and you’re not alone! And I love your channel

[@naomiminogue8451]

Just an observation. You really love your space and maybe you were needing to spend more time in your safe space before you had to leave for an extended time away from home. Remember to honor, love and accept yourself right where you are. Life is both sides of the coin, we can’t have the joy without experiencing the funk as well. We have to sit in both, that’s just life. Sit in it, acknowledge it but don’t stay in it. Thank you for sharing your emotions with us and for being vulnerable. I hope your trip is successful and you have a wonderful time at your events. I hope as you wear your dresses you feel the warmth and love of your sister and mom. Thank you for this vlog. Cheering you on from Southern California !

Thank you so much for the kind words ♥️ and yes - I think it definitely takes a toll when my time home is cut short

We all have those days girl!!! Just be authentic it is way more appealing, then acting like everything is perfect. ❤❤❤❤

[@sffischer8]

I'm so glad you posted this. Again, Gail you feel to me so emotionally real, raw and while I'm sorry you were in a funk... it happens to all of us. I think you hit it on the nail ... clothes are super important. they are literally the first and immediate way of introducing ourselves to others. I lived in NYC for 10 yrs and in DC for 6 and I didn't figure out my clothes/style situation until 1. I became an artist and 2. I left the east coast and moved to Portland, Oregon where I've discovered people aren't expected to conform, nor look a certain way, nor be a certain way. Here people are encouraged to be and become their true selves. So long as no harm is done nor won. Which I think is healthy, fair and wise. I think you're a creative (you are) who needs to be in a more creative ... flow/career/lifestyle. Perhaps. I don't know. I see you from the perspective of someone who is needing and wanting to be more creative herself. You inspire me, and I thank you. (p.s. Hope you had a good trip) (p.s 2 neosporin works great on pimples, just keep clean and apply 2-3xday)

[@selfself8813]

Feel good just knowing how many people, relative strangers, you make feel like friends with these warm invites into your cozy home and peeks into your creativity. This should tell you, what you mean to others is a blessing, definitely not a reason for funk!

[@btown8210]

I get SAD in winter. I find things can just feel more tiring and overwhelming. Don’t beat yourself up. These things always pass! I sometimes go to bed mega early on days I’m just feeling meh. Cup of cocoa or similar and a good book :) x

[@theregoesgail]

Thank you, Madison 🫶🫶

[@allanalauren]

I’m so glad that you released this - we ALL get into this kind of funk (I’m in one right now actually, haha - 40 year old living in DC area!) and this made me feel comforted in being reminded that it’s okay and we all go through it. I do sympathize though - it’s not fun at all! Also, if you’re ever so inclined, I think a cool and fun video to watch would be you showing your photography gear and explaining what you use certain things for (without getting into any of your job specifics). I’m always intrigued by what other professionals use for their jobs! I hope that the funk passes soon and things feel better for you (and all of us who may be in a kind of funk).

[@maureenhansen8321]

I feel your pain over packing, it is so taxing , drawing and exhausting to the brain. I guess it takes thought and planning and I kinda wear what I feel that day.. I love this vlog nothing disappoints, it’s everyday life , figuring out as we go and we got to do on our own cause lord knows it aint easy at times when you are single..

[@msturi2002]

The dresses are beautiful!

[@theregoesgail]

Thank you!! Shoutout to my sister and mom 😂

[@LittleFrosty333]

I just retired from a high intensity job that required 40-60% travel. The absolute most-stressful part of the job was packing for trips. I was always in a bad place the night before a trip. I finally resorted to something like a work “uniform” of mix & match outfits. Once I boarded the plane I always felt much better. I wish the same for you.

[@theregoesgail]

Thank you ♥️

[@selfself8813]

Good choices for your formal events. Congrats on closing your suitcases!!! Safe travels!!!

[@gloriashaeffer9117]

We all have times like the one you are going through. I am 79 and have found that for every day of our life, there is a reason why it is either good ,bad or indifferent, what we take out of each day is what is really important. I don't know who said it but (this too shall pass )It will be ok. Stop , take a deep breath and proceed forward! Love sent your way Take care

Hi Gail, We all go through funks, just like you, but you are strong enough to share your funk with us; thank you!! Also, your kitchen sink and “dirty dishes” looked pretty good; your dishes were rinsed off and clean looking; so nothing to be embarrassed about there!! 🫶🏻 Safe travels, and packing I find stressful too. Playing fun music helps me while packing and cleaning. 😍

[@topchelseagirl9074]

I'm so glad you posted this Gail, I'm in a funk too. The last couple of days everything has been going wrong - as I sat down to watch this I knocked over a full glass of water which went all over my desk and laptop! I was supposed to be going out this afternoon, but I'm now going to stay in a watch a film, as we have a big storm hitting the UK and I just want to curl up and do nothing. Thanks for sharing with us, it felt like I was hanging out with you in your apartment. I hope you're now feeling brighter and having a good weekend - I love both those dresses!!

[@theregoesgail]

[@theregoesgail]

That means a lot, thank you! ♥️

[@francescadesmond8846]

It took me way too long to learn that when one of those days comes up, I just have to lean into it & accept it. The more we seem to fight those days, the harder the universe reminds us it is not our call to make. Like a rain storm, we just have to ride it out. I now take those days as a not so subtle reminder that no matter how much I think I am in control, there is a lot I have no say in. And when the clock hits 12:01AM, a new day starts. And yes, food helps, too. Hope you enjoyed your work events. You seemed excited about them.

[@theregoesgail]

Thank you for sharing this wisdom!

[@denisefonda2815]

Gail, we all get frustrated at times, especially during the holidays. It sounds like you have some fun events to attend in DC. Since you enjoy your job, I’m sure you will perk up at the events that you said you enjoy. Relax when you can, while you’re away. Your apartment is looking very nice and festive.😀

[@hollyholly27-]

No matter what video you post, I watch. I know you felt hard on yourself not knowing whether or not to post, but it shows the reality of human emotion. I always enjoy your content, you’re authentic and it’s nice to see any update whether it’s good or bad. Side note- when I feel really overwhelmed or have a bad day, I use the Headspace app. Their meditations are calming and has been a life saver for me. 😊

[@theregoesgail]

Thank you for the recommendation!

[@lilioshka]

And yeah, I think a lot of us prefer, moody, honest Gail, as opposed to the vlogger who is always happy, perfect and everything is great and are super hiper al the time. Plus girl, remember youre liing everybody's dream life! You live in New York, have an amazing apartment that you've made your own, you have beautiful clothes, you have my dream life!

[@jeannawalton8107]

OK kiddo, now is the time to take care of yourself :) Get enough sleep. If you are having trouble sleeping, play some relaxing music and take a warm bath. Do it up right with bubbles and candles. Meditate if you don't already. Get out of the house and take a walk. I was never into gratitude journals, but I do follow the example of Stacey Flowers and do a gratitude walk. I express how grateful I am for every little thing, and darn it if it doesn't help! Don't isolate. I know that's hard with your traveling, but be kind to yourself and know that you are doing the best you can right now. And lastly, this too shall pass. Promise.

[@doloreskozlowski]

I'm Not much of a girly girl but a good way to boost your mood is to get fussed over. When you get to DC maybe there is a salon you can go to - get an up do and have your make up done for the formals. Play up your hair and the dresses will take care of the rest.

[@marthafazzini9835]

I love your Christmas decor. ❤. I have lights up, tree , etc. I love just enjoying the lights , turning off table lights and floor light. Husband…..turns enough lights on to Do Surgery. Kinda defeats my vibe. Safe travels

Hi Gail, as weird as it may sound it's 'nice' to see real life content that we can relate to, it's a breath of fresh air. There's so much contrived fake 'perfect ' stuff on social media that just isn't true to life. That's fine if thats what folk want, an escape into a make believe World, but many of us enjoy the every day reality stuff, something you show, funks n all! You do you, we like your content, and like you, you're one of us; we all have those yucky days... & yep we've all stuggled to zip a fat suitcase! lol 😊

Watching you reminded me of myself. I love to travel but also hate packing. I now get all the clothing out that I would need and more. Particularly things I like to wear.

[@tarunpalfilmmaker]

Hey Gail! 😊 I totally get that pre-trip stress - those moments when you're just not feeling the whole packing scene can be so real! First off, can we talk about those glasses? They are absolutely incredible - seriously the most beautiful frames I've ever seen! 🤓 I noticed how much work goes into creating content like this - an 18-minute video might seem short, but the behind-the-scenes shooting and editing is no joke. Major respect for putting in all that effort! If you ever want a hand with editing or just want to chat about content creation, I'm here. Keep slaying those videos and rocking those amazing glasses! 💯🌟

[@deirdrelupoli7278]

The video is fine… Real life, real people, real careers and real moods…. that’s what it’s all about right? Just a suggestion… Try to bring a clothes steamer with you or double check that there is one in your hotel room and that can help cut down on prep time since things may get wrinkled during the packing/traveling stage anyway. Also, try to have things that can go with more than one item what is now commonly called a capsule wardrobe where let’s say a white button down blouse can go with a pair of jeans, pair of dress pants, under a sweater/cardigan, etc. that’s just one example but might be helpful to be able to mix and match so you’re not feeling like you have to have a separate outfit for every day. Also tap into hotel dry cleaning and laundry services that could be helpful if something can’t be worn a second or third time after wearing it for work. Your career sounds like a great one and I’m happy for you. Sounds like you found something you really like.📸🎥

[@myobee9875]

You're very wise to keep info about your work off of your channel. Some creators don't and end up in hot water. Your skin looks good to me, but since I had breakouts well into my 30s and tried many things, I'll offer this tip: Serious Skincare's glycolic cleanser was the best at clearing my skin (which didn't have severe acne but maybe more than yours). I'd even tried prescription remedies, but I found that cleanser to be the best. They also have a benzoyl peroxide product, but I found the cleanser to be best for me. I recommend it to everyone and still actually have it. I use it in the summer when the heat and pollution make my skin feel gross. Try ONE bottle only and see whether it works for you. You might get some very fine peeling for 2-3 weeks after you start while your skin is adapting, but no redness. Just gently buff it away with a damp washcloth. That brand is at QVC and they also have their own web site.

[@theregoesgail]

Thanks for the recommendation!

I love to trave but I get the same anxiety when I pack, it takes me forever and I just stare at the clother, but I've noticed that what helps me, is to just bring a bunch of clothes that I know they a match, plus some neutras, and dont stress about planniing outfits. I just decide what Im gonna wear once I'm there, and it's ess stressful, because I know everythig wil match!

[@lindawynell]

I always packed my camera gear first. Most of the time I go for comfort when working. Shooting is so absorbing & I did a lot of Candids so I never knew what position I’d wind up in to catch “that” shot! LOL I have done a very formal wedding in Brazil. A gown was required. Can you picture me running in & out of the cathedral? I wasn’t allowed to walk down the side isles so I had to go outside & around to other side entrance to catch the ceremony. Cameras, holding the gown off the ground, running in heels! I laugh…now. Packing sucks. That sink is fine. All of those things will be there when you have more time to address them. When you’re tired, the funk is almost inevitable. Sleep will usually cure it. Hormones are also terrible culprits. We accept you as you are, not how you keep your home or what you eat. I hope your trip goes well. Hugs.

Packing is a headache. I just returned from a ttrip to Florida and deciding what to pack was a chore even though I previously check the weather there. I could have done more. Had a wonderful time anyway

[@theregoesgail]

I know that feeling! It’s always a struggle 😅

By now you are in Washington and perhaps some jitters are gone ? Is it the formal attire and events that make you anxious ? Just an FYI There is a product caed Febreeze Wrinkle Release...spray it on the wrinkles and shake them out. Works better if you know your outfits ahead of time and also put them hung for a while in the steamy shower after you showered.Can also pour some into a small spray bottle in case things get wrinkled on arrival. You've got this !

When I have a bad day…I just let it happen…go to bed early and know that it will be better in the morning. I also allow myself to eat and drink what I want. 😏

Oh I can definitely cosign this

Grey is ok.

I stayed until the end, wasn’t bad, just felt bad that you’re stressed out over packing! Try starting with your glasses, they’re dated and make you look much older than you are, something alittle trendy and fun, be brave!! Then get some classic staples, black trousers, white cotton shirt, stay classy, avoid frumpy❤️you’ve got this!! I find getting a new haircut always spicy things up!😉

[@theregoesgail]

Yes I think I need more solid staples! & I really like my glasses haha but we all have different opinions 🙂

[@Cheri94]

By the way - your lipstick and high boots outfit was awesome - I know the heels can be too much if you are planning to walk a lot - nice for other days though.
