Q&A | answering lots of your questions! 💕

[@charlimarieTV]

Everything you said about your life becoming your job... YES! I stopped vlogging personal stuff because of this and now my channel is all about my work.

[@adabell1833]

I would love to see an individual video just with your experience on slimming world and diet culture and what effect it had on you!

[@ebonybrown7557]

Same this would be really good

[@amystanden3226]

I've been following you for years and it's so nice to see how happy you are! The focus on your new business is inspiring and your new relationship with food/dieting just blew me away! Keep doing what you're doing gal, you're amazing and dont let anyone tell you otherwise!!

[@melaurab1]

Further to your comment about admiring when people grow and mature, I think a huge part of that is the actual recognition that they need to grow and move on from things. I know so many people who are stuck in the same cycle of the sane conflicts because they never learn the lesson or because they always attract that energy. I love that answer you gave and totally agree with you!

[@CarrieDayton]

YESSSSS to making this a monthly thing! Loved this video so much 💞

[@sophiemcnamara3124]

Juniper Moon is such a you name, when I saw it for the first time, I was like ‘YES! That’s so Gabriella’ love it x

[@velvetgh0st]

AAH!! Thanks!!!!

[@niamhrambles]

Your sandwich and crisp answer was pretty genius

[@velvetgh0st]

Thank you *takes a bow*

[@laurengooch3790]

took about 7 years for me to be diagnosed with endometriosis after being told the pain is normal! I didn’t know it existed before I was diagnosed 😞 so spreading awareness is so important so thank you 💗 so sorry you’re going through it! currently off work due to a flare up! It’s honestly horrendous :( xx

[@more_daydreams]

Just want to say that I’m so proud of you for starting this business and your journey to happiness 💕 I know I’m a stranger to you - but I’ve watched you for years now and you’re such an inspiration to me 🤗 hope you’re doing Okay today 💗

[@beccar941]

Thank you for speaking so openly about how toxic diet culture is and how much it fucks people up with their relationship with food. It's so important to spread this message!

[@jessicabearpark4594]

honestly, feel the endo pain. i got diagnosed in december last year after 4 years of agony and hospital every couple of months in pain. sending cuddles and love!!!

[@velvetgh0st]

I’m so sorry you’re going through it too - it’s horrendous! Xx

[@karensanders8061]

I suffered extremely heavy painful periods from age 24 after my baby, no doctor was helpful, then when I was 41 I was took to hospital with such heavy bleeding it was just flooding everytime I moved, and they were lasting 3 months at a time I was given a hormone tablet to stop it and got referred to see a gynaecologist. He did a D&C and the results showed hemorrhage tissue and adhesions, he told me at my age he wasn't going to anything because I'd be in the menopause sooner than later, and that was it. 😭😭😭😭😭 Luckily I stopped having periods when I was 49 but those 8 years after being told to basically suck it up were the most horrid years I can think off, I lost time from work, holidays were near impossible, and the pain was crucifing. So yes I totally agree with you, I'm so glad your getting help at last sweetie 💖💖💖💖💖

[@missaliciawhite3904]

I use to think like you Gabby, in regards to having children alone, I thought I’d do absolutely everything alone, house children the works and I absolutely loved been alone and spending my time to myself and doing what I wanted when I wanted without having to tell anyone or ask permission to either if that makes sense. Then nearly a year go I went on a date with my now partner and he’s made be do a complete 180° in what I want in life and I guess that can be down to the fact that I’m lucky we get on so well (and I’m not exaggerating either) so don’t close yourself off Gabby coz one day he might just pop into your life when you really least expect it like me ♥️

[@dorisbunch98]

Aww I'm so happy to hear what you said about Slimming World / diet culture, I have always loved your videos but had to take a step back a while ago as it was all very triggering for me so I'm sooo happy to hear you're doing well and are happier :) congrats on the success of Juniper Moon! X

[@jenij1287]

There are so many 'single mothers by choice' out there, I am currently in the middle of my journey to become one, and its so much more common than you might actually think. And I honestly think it is the best decision I have ever made in my entire life

[@makeupattiffanys5272]

Honestly this was just a Q&A but it just makes you think. I’ve been miserable at my job and I would love to just actually do something I want to do. The question is what is it lol love the video!

[@CartB0X]

Agreed! Can't stand my job but can't quit until I figure out what it actually is I want to do..

[@velvetgh0st]

I’m sure you’ll find your calling in life soon! 🖤

[@xeshacinds]

I just quit my job last month because I suddenly realised I hated it too! I don't know where I'm going but it's somewhere happier 🥰

[@unicornfluffxo]

I’m on my 6th year of going back and forth trying to get a diagnosis for my period problems, I definitely relate to that! Sending you positive vibes xxx

[@unicornfluffxo]

@Peanut yes I am xxx

[@haleyzimmer211]

Speaking of women’s health being dismissed!! When I had my first kidney stone, I was in excruciating, debilitating pain for weeks, fainting and throwing up constantly, until they finally did a CT scan and saw the stone because they kept telling me it was “just period pain”.

[@velvetgh0st]

so fucking dumb :( im sorry you had to go through that x

[@hannahkearns9526]

Been watching you for years Gabs and I’m so happy you’ve got a happy mentality with food now! I relate to so much of what you said about diet culture and I feel like I’m at where you are! Such an inspiration, keep going gal! 💓💓

[@sharrlizz]

Really resonated with what you said about being a woman and health issues around periods.

[@jacindafreeman1898]

I agree with you about SW and the diet culture. I was caught up in that for about 20 years and only felt happy and healthy once I started eating intuitively xx

[@katiegeorgina8559]

So so glad you got out of the diet culture crap! Completely agree with Slimming World being toxic, no food should be a sin! So happy you are in a better place, can see how much happier you are!! :)

[@emgoodluck416]

Amen to the undiagnosed/mistreated pelvic pain !! I’m on year 9 of still not having a diagnosis ☹️🤗 I’m now petrified of docters and hospitals because of the experiences I’ve had😬

[@hellothereitsgrace]

So happy to hear your answer to the last Q, I'm really similar for as long as I can remember my main goal in life was about losing weight/being skinny and my MH suffered terribly. It was only when I started to focus on loving myself as I am and my goals being about my life and making me happy that my MH improved, and even though I am still bigger that doesn't mean I'm worth any less than anyone else. I also hate diet culture and places like Slimming world and WW have had too much of my money already so I'm happy to never give them another penny!

[@Livkate_xo]

100% agree with the slimming world comments, I’ve found it extremely toxic since I’ve stopped doing it! Constantly, thinking about the s**s in food still now and that’s not right xx

[@sophistein5954]

Completely agree with your views on Slimming world! All they want is your money and the 'advice' they give is complete BS! I remember once I contacted my 'consultant' because I hadn't lost any weight in a few weeks and I mentioned that I drink 2-3 litres of water a day and go for long walks daily and she actually told me that excersize and drinking water doesn't help weight loss at all and I should excersize less and follow the SW plan better. I couldn't actually believe she said that to me

[@RenaxAyame]

The best diet is eating in moderation! Have what you like but in small amounts! That’s how I lost my weight and maintain it! Just need to get rid of my mummy tummy now 🙄❤️

[@JamieRoseVaca]

Breakthrough 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 yes Gabbie! I am so proud of you. You are talented and beautiful and being skinny should never be your goal. Work on being healthy and happy and everything else will fall into place.

[@emsalarslan2098]

I am totally in agreement with your answer on Slimming World. Looking at food on a point system and as ‘syns’ is extremely damaging. Goodbye diets.

[@niiaexx5804]

Yes gabby!❤️❤️ honestly I have no idea how people don’t see the problem with companies slimming world etc. They literally make money for keeping people permanently on a diet/ yo-yo dieting mentality which is SO unhealthy x

[@yasmeenkadri4758]

It would be so amazing if you made a lil video about taboo subjects that us girls go through with like periods, endometriosis, mood swings etc - similar to a girl talk video 💗💗💗

[@NicoleBurge89]

it’s so lovely to see you looking so much happier!! will look forward to seeing more from juniper moon 💗

[@ashayr9]

Couldn’t agree more about Slimming World! So toxic to demonise food as a “syn”!

[@rebecarendell]

I'm so sorry that you have obviously had such a bad experience with Slimming World. If you view SW as a 'diet', then it's never going to work, and if you don't want to actually lose weight, then there are definitely better ways to address your relationship with food, but for me personally it's been revolutionary. I'm at 5.5 stone loss so far (plenty more to go!), and having embraced the lifestyle change, something that I know will stay with me for life, I can safely say it has completely changed my attitude to food, without me having lost my passion for it, which is something I was very nervous about. It's not for everyone, I completely agree, but if anyone is thinking about trying it, I believe it's better they make their own minds up, because for some of us, it's literally been a life saver.

[@chloehoogwerf]

Really enjoyed this video, u seem so much happier/content and that made this video so lovely to watch ❤️

[@mercheschofield9885]

I love how relaxed you are! And well done for realising that food is just food! You're doing amazingly! 😘

[@malaikarizwan4668]

Yes I do happy you did a QandA and I’m so glad your happy with your relationship with food 💕

[@rachaeljones5767]

love the ' sandwich and crisps ' answer so clever x

[@imsrlove]

This KZbin channel is my happy place :)

[@lanasophia_]

I had the exact same experience with being ignored regarding endometriosis!! Took me over 2 years to get diagnosed after sooooo many appointments of me crying to drs in agony. I really hope you get it all sorted soon xxx

[@sophies1761]

I am so proud of how far you've come and seeing you happy makes me so happy as well! I genuinely wish you all the best!! Sending you love 💗

[@ohheyniki]

I immediately said “slytherin” when you asked what house we thought you were in. Idk why I said that but I was so amazed I was correct! 🥰

[@cici7141]

Hey gabs!! I noticed in a past video that you said you liked Animal Crossing! Have you ever considered streaming on Twitch? I’ve been having so much fun watching Arden Rose play on twitch lately and the community there is so lovely - I think you’d be a great addition!! ❤️

[@emmamulholland4858]

Great video, it’s heartwarming to see you so happy 😍

[@ruthlouise95]

so glad to hear that you are embracing intuitive eating!! That is amazing, well done you - coming from me, an ex-dieter turned intutive eater! xxx

[@xizzie3]

I'm so glad that you have stopped dieting because you don't bloody need to you're fabulous! I started doing WW I think around the same same time you were doing that or SW (they're all the same!) and I gave up after 3 or 4 weigh-ins because I got scared that it was going to make me have more of a bad relationship with food and my body than I already do and I ain't about that life like if you want cake just eat the damn cake! I would also like to recommend a podcast called Wobble it's by Jules von Hep and Sarah Powell they discuss all things mental health and body positivity and they're just good eggs also recommend that you follow them both on insta and their other pod the Jules and Sarah podcast. WARNING the second podcast will make you want to eat all things cheesy! Port Salut Crew FTW

[@Candybl0nd]

I love how much better you seem to be lately! I hope you are doing well and taking care of yourself 💕

[@Amy-kl6ei]

Totally relate to the slimming world question. Nail on the head 🙌🏻

[@ponderingsofagirl]

Gabbie I so agree about your thoughts on slimming world. I actually made a video chatting about how horrid of an experience I had. I hate how guilty the plan made me!!

[@_cara96x]

I’m so glad you touched on Slimming world because I have felt the same🤦🏻‍♀️💖💖💖

[@PinkDiamond7777777]

Was Slimming World the one where they called certain foods "sins," 'cause if so, then yh, like, literally, what are they doing, LOL ? It' s all about finding what works for you to live the best or healthy lifestyle you want.

[@velvetgh0st]

YES eeeek it’s so triggering! Even when i hear people talk about it now i get anxiety haha x

[@Trixtabella]

100% agree with the whole dieting thing sw ww etc. Also doing intuitive eating as recommended by my counsellor and my mental health has been sp much better.

[@amylouise3092]

Can you do a video where you do a tutorial on spreadsheets not from your personal ones but make a dupe of made up figures and stuff just to show people how to make them

[@randomluckyfinger]

love your whole office vibe and your outfit! Where’s your top from? 😍

[@semolinasemolina307]

SUCH a lovely Q&A! You seem so happy! Xxx

[@natsmyspace]

I can totally relate with your endo as I have it too and being in a relationship is hard with it. Thank you for bringing awareness to it

[@hazthomp9657]

Definitely don’t feel like you’re a slytherin haha! If you do the test more than once it goes to show you’re just looking for a house to be in and not what you’re initially sorted to

[@callmeclaireee]

Juniper Moon is the cutest name ever and I totally see it being a you name. I also love the name Juniper. Anytime someone asks what they should name something I always go for Juniper as an option lol

[@PinkDiamond7777777]

Relating so hard to liking your alone time ! 😊

[@megan4399]

Ooh new outro music!! Loving it! Xx

[@mirandali8345]

Thanks!!! Xx

[@godsandtorrance8020]

Loving this new content, you seem much more yourself!

[@chloecrane14]

I am convinced I have endometriosis, I throw up every period and I can’t physically move in pain but the doctors just give me pain killers and don’t listen. I feel like no one understands how much pain I’m actually in :/ x

[@lucybaehren1721]

Hey babe you should definitely switch GP surgeries. I had this for years and didn’t realise you can actually just change, as soon as I did I was taken seriously and managed to have the diagnostic operation much more quickly. If you ask to be referred to gynae at a hospital and they say no, you can complain or ask to see someone else. Also research BGCE accredited people for endo- it is definitely worth it to see someone that has specific knowledge. Join the UK endometriosis Facebook page too, it’s full of so many helpful people! Xx

[@caitlynmcadam]

I am loving all these videos lately! Keep it up lovely 😊

[@rolfsinkgraven]

Great Q&A loved watching it.

[@emilykate8739]

I sat down with a cuppa and watched this vid, felt so cozy and nice!! I’m happy to hear you’re doing well, I haven’t seen a video for a couple months cause I’m so busy in the middle of a big move. How can I get to the juniper moon website? I can’t seem to find it. When trying to find it I found the most awful thread about you on a gossip website, I’m sure you know about it, but I was just in disbelief that people spend that much time watching your videos just to talk sh*t. They must be very miserable. ANYWAY,,, thanks for the vid, I really enjoyed it and it was a nice break in my day :)

[@beccaharris4465]

This made my day

[@honeypotfilms6066]

this human being must be protected at all costs 🥺 - honeypot films

[@Lb123lb]

I always thought that about slimming world but obviously never wanted to say something while you were doing it, calling a food a sin/syn is never going to end well!!

[@DeniseAnne519]

Have you seen Natacha oceane food videos? She has great videos about food and the science behind it

[@vmyellen]

For some reason for the Halloween costume comment my instant thought was you go as Nellie and Nellie goes as you 😂

[@adhson]

I’m watching you for many many years and I really love you 😊 But the thing you said about a relationship with someone... I have to disagree. I have a great work life and amazing friends, but the fact that you are so close with someone, they are always there for you and you have constant support, this cannot be replaced. I thought that friends are always for me and that’s the fact. But it will never be to that extend as with a special someone. It just won’t. I have that person in my life and in comparison to how it was before, yes it was great to have my friends and family, but having him makes me feel really calm, secure and loved. This kind of love is more than needed in life. I hope that everyone will find that person, don’t give up, everyone will find someone, you just have to open your heart and want to be loved ❤️

[@justmemuchlove8275]

That is just how your life turned out. No more no less. It doesn’t work for everyone. Doesn’t necessary have anything to do giving up it not.

[@ebonymorrison947]

I love you from Australia 😍💞😭

[@sumayahhussain9301]

What dior lipgloss do you use hun?

[@amycrawford1743]

Omg come to Manchester then I can finally meet you!

[@shannonalyshia]

I tried slimming world and I totally agree with you. When I done it in my own pace and my own time I slimmed down which has reversed since lockdown but I always choose to diet in my own time and when i'm comfortable in doing so. But everyone is different. I'm in no rush to loose weight and i'm no rush to put it back it. I eat what I ever like to and what I don't want to. It all comes down to you and your wellbeing. You look fabulous anyways! 🤍

[@KatieJane0407]

Where is your necklace from please? It’s lush! Xx

[@velvetgh0st]

I can’t tell you just yet 👀🖤🖤

[@justathumb]

hufflepuffffff, but a wannabe slytherin 😉 (aw i was wrong! but i only assumed hufflepuff cos of your affection for decorating your house and making it supremely cosy 😁 i took the test 5x and kept getting hufflepuff hahah, but i wanted something more badass)

[@ag9284]

I started a little lockdown business too (not quite as successful as yours lol) and I love it! @handmadebyalicia on Etsy and I sell handmade greetings cards, I would eventually love to make prints too - I love yours 🥰 Also totally agree about slimming world! Firstly, artificial sweeteners are no better than sugar, and how can they call food ‘sins’ and that be totally ok??? So wrong and unhealthy for anyone, never mind those who already have difficult relationships with food 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@meganhughesyt]

I think you could be in Slytherin 😊

[@sophsnest]

Such perfect eyebrows ❤️

[@megan4399]

Ooh I’m so early! I love these kinds of videos! Also you’re looking so happy and it makes me so happy to see! Loving the new shop too and wish you all the best!! Xx

Hi! What eyeshadow do you have on? Love!!

[@lastrivy]

you’re like 70% Hufflepuff and 30% Slytherin. There’s no other answer

[@janepugmire1599]

Where is this top from?? I love it😍😍

[@Laylatodd1]

Took 11 years for me to be diagnosed! Then another 1.5 years for my operation to remove the endo! The pain was horrific before my op!! Good luck! Xxx

[@velvetgh0st]

I’m so sorry you’ve been dealing with it for so long! :( x

[@mydiary5484]

What are all the surgeries she’s had done? She mentioned in her insta her pain is probably related to all her surgeries?
