[@humayraravat]

Tess, after all this time your still one of my favourite youtubers that i look forward to :) never change Tess your videos always make my day xxx

[@loishotfudge]

Humayra Ravat yesss

[@marinatheo9942]

you're so open and honest about your life while still keeping your privacy and it's extremely refreshing!! you're one of the very best !! xx

[@purplepurls77]

i would love a clothing line from you. you seriously understand that most people cant afford all the things that big youtubers can. and your style is amazing!!

[@shaylenna76]

I'm a shy person too and it really irritates me and I feel like I'm not living my life to the fullest :/

[@dayone7572]

Chaimae Elalami same goes for me :/

[@elenalauren4388]

Same!!!

[@ElizabethAlvarez-ck4vl]

Chaimae Elalami me too im just like tess when im with people im comfortable with i cant stop talking and with people im not im so shy

[@Angelface-zp3fk]

I feel

[@cehart123]

you would love the youtuber michelle reed/michelleoutofhershell. great shy girl youtuber with good advice.

[@BiancaBurgio]

I've been watching you since you had 12k subscribers. I remember you did a hairstyle tutorial and since that day I always reply "Tess Christine" to the "What's your favorite KZbinr" question. I'm so happy and proud of how far you've come and I only wish you the best!! x love from Ireland x

[@bellarichards8619]

Bianca Burgio I just posted basically the same comment because that was the first vid I ever saw of her haha!!

[@annaejthomas]

aww i remember u from the 1d vids years ago !!

[@mila.rubina]

ive been watching her forever too and im soooo proud of her. she inspired me to create MY channel and it's been the best decision ive ever made. i hope to be as successful as tess one day

[@andjelcic821]

Me too. I remember i watched some of hers q&a back then when she just started it, (now i can't find those videos of her) she talked so honestly about herself, she was the first girl on the internet who i thought was so damn calm down, natural, pesonality a lot like miine... i remember i fell in love with her only because she was so cute and real, seemd 0% fake like the most youtubers...

[@janine7310]

Oh my gosh, remember the Katherine from Vampire Diaries hair tutorials?? Good old days! Tess was the first KZbinr I started watching and still my favorite ❤️

[@SarahWitpeerd]

Aw I love how down to earth you are, it makes it so easy to relate to you and realise that even if you're a big KZbinr you are still human and have flaws or human characteristics. And how cool that you met some of your best friends through KZbin, if you're ever in the Netherlands and I'd see you in a subway I'll definitely say hi!

[@Alliesalasvesely]

I love how you said "Everyone has their own time" that is so true

[@photobycroona]

I’ve been subscribed to your channel for sooo many years now and i can truly say that you are probably the only KZbinr I follow that has stayed 100% true to yourself and the kind of content you want to creat this whole time. We have all grown up together with you and your videos are just getting better and better, but I really appreciate that your not just blindly following trends and doing videos just because other people do them. So once again; THANK YOU 😍😍 Hands down my favorite KZbinr 🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@XxcassiebraunxX]

I can understand where you're coming from about being shy. I was painfully shy as a kid and even as a teenager. It's funny cause I can remember always thinking about hating to get up in front of the class or what do I say to new people and being jealous of people who were so good at small talk. Ironically, I'm now 25 and a nurse so walking into a room of strangers and explaining their diagnosis or teaching them new things is just a part of my day. Years ago that would've been my worst nightmare but now I love it lol Im still kind of shy but I think my job has really helped me break out. It just takes baby steps and there's nothing wrong with being shy. Love you girl !

[@dorothymili3051]

This was so relaxing and cosy to watch felt like we were chatting together in your living room 😁 love you Tess you are my favourite KZbinr! Excited for the wedding planning!! 💕

[@ayjanova]

I like you, Tess. Your genuine personality shines through, even out of the screen. I appreciate your down-to-earth and simple attitude a lot, especially at the time of social media and illusionary reality that most influencers promote these days. You stand out and are different from all that glamorous crowd. Keep it up❤️

[@JoannaDorian]

Omg I’m slightly relieved you said you’re insecure about being shy! Lol I’ve been shy my entire life and people just don’t understand it and especially doing KZbin people expect you to be outgoing but that’s definitely not the case with me at all. I hope one day I can also just accept it instead of trying to change it like it’s a flaw. Love you Tess! 🖤

[@Shannon17M]

I know exactly what you're talking about with being shy, and I think you put it into words perfectly. Thank you for what you said about that. It's nice to hear that someone I admire so much shares the same insecurity and that it's okay to be shy and embrace it.

[@berkleeryann]

I'm so excited to see more wedding details as they happen!

[@Jimenagm]

Girl i relate so much to what you said about being shy and wishing you werent. People would meet me and say “why are you so shy” as if thats helpful in any way 🙄

[@rachaelibanez]

You are so wise beyond your years, humble and kind

[@alyssaalterado4601]

you're one of the only youtubers that I've kept up with since like 2012! I remember your first video (I think) being a whats in my bag & watching you recreate eleanor calder's looks back when I loved 1D & I still have the green shirt that resembled yours lol. I love you & your authenticity, please keep it up! so proud of how far you've come

[@maddie4golf]

I’m glad you included the part about how social media can change your views and make you feel like you are behind in life. It’s what I needed today!

[@catherineelli]

I love your hair shorter and dark brown, looks so good on you

[@hannahr4832]

feel like your honesty really shined in this video! Appreciate how genuine of a youtuber/person you are

[@hannahr4832]

you're kinda like the big sis i never had

[@isag4999]

What I admire a lot about you is that I can tell that you genuinely care about your channel, about your work and your subscribers (as cheesy as that sounds). I just feel, that you wouldn't put on a show for youtube, and that your off-camera persona isn't all that different from the on-camera version and I respect that so much, because sometimes when you watch a certain kind of youtuber you can imagine how they could put on a smile for the camera and start rolling their eyes as soon as they stop recording.

[@abrilsanchez7177]

The Greatest Showman is everything!!! The soundtrack, the movie, its meaning!!! Literally my life!! 💕

[@Elena-rz7wt]

it's just sooo crazy... I'm from Germany and you were the first English speaking KZbinr I really liked and kept on watching regularly. I started watching your videos when you were still going to High School and now youre talking about vlogging the plans for your wedding - now I'm wishing you just the best, youre such an inspiring and beautiful person. keep going, be yourself and all the luck for you two. xx

[@sofiadg3933]

you are SO real and sweet, you're my faaaave. Also I love the fact that you love NYC, because majority of youtubers/vloggers live in LA, it's so refreshing seeing someone that lives in NY. Cannot wait for the wedding vlogs!

[@Nadia-er8ft]

Tess finding you on KZbin so many years ago and watching your videos helped me learn to embrace my shyness. I love your aura and how calm you are! You made me realize its okay to not be outgoing and talkative 💕

[@jesusmontilla5549]

I really love how honest you are. There are no vague answers or open ended ones. You're so to the point, i love it.

[@dianahoran6010]

I love how you and Pat seem to understand eachother and talked a lot about everything. Honestly, literally goals.

[@meganw8310]

I just got married in January at the age of 21, almost 22! The judgement can be really annoying sometimes but all that matters is that my husband and I know that it's right. We had been together for five years before we got married, so it wasn't exactly an impulse thing. Like you said, everyone is on their own timeline! So happy for you and Patrick!

[@HannahgoestoAmerica]

Please never change Tess, you’re my all time favorite KZbinr 💕 I wish you all the best for the future ☺️

[@alexistaylor9114]

Tess! I cannot WAIT until you guys have a little family 💕 I’ve been watching you for the last 6 years and it’s been so fun seeing you go through life and how your channel has changed, so weird how now we’re talking about marriage and babies! My baby boy is my pride and joy! Can’t wait to watch you experience this one day💕

[@daniluna7006]

You’ve always been my favorite youtuber. I love you honest and passionate you seem about everything you do. I’m really excited about watching all your wedding/babies process 😭💞

[@annekeveltman]

i'm so glad to hear the bit about finding friends when you move to a new city and the strain it puts on your relationship because i just moved in with my boyfriend and i know nobody here at all. his friends have been super nice so i didn't really know why it's been so hard on the two of us, but what you said is so true

[@libbyboyd8566]

I love how you talked about being shy because that’s something I struggle with and I know a lot of other people do too

[@shanluna]

appreciated that you opened up about being shy, because i can so totally relate to what you said down to a T. About thriving in small social settings with people that you know & shy in more large groups and wanting to be that girl that everyone loved... totally can relate :'( what u said about accepting who you are realy resonated with me! I'm a huge fan of your style it inspires me, love you!!!

[@spceinadreamroom]

I just took up knitting recently. It’s new enough that I still have to concentrate on what I’m doing, so that may be a nice distraction for you when you’re having a bad day. It’s rewarding to see that you’re creating something beautiful.

[@1pwellman]

I've gone back to a bunch of your old videos and your style has matured so much! I absolutely love it and its so cool to be able to go back and see your growth. I love your haircut and it was neat to go back and see when it was long and ombre! love your channel, specifically the NY guides and Week in my Life

[@kristinaporada7800]

I’m so glad you said the bit about being shy! I can relate to everything you said 1,000%. I’ve always wanted to be the friendly/ outgoing person in the room, but every time I’ve tried it becomes exhausting. Glad there’s others that can relate :)

[@polocub1429]

I feel ya on the shyness, I’m the same way. Fake it til you make it I guess! Other people aren’t always as confident as they may seem...

[@amyli092]

I feel like I can relate more to you, Tess, than to any other female KZbinr out there. Your personality just comes across as so sweet, genuine and happy. I hope to meet you some day because for one, I'm close in age to you (I'm 25)- and secondly, your content is just something that I always look forward to watching. Keep up the great work!

[@lindaliang93]

You're one of the few youtubers I still follow and genuinely get excited when a video gets uploaded! I love your content and really appreciate your down to earth personality. Can't wait to see the wedding plans! 💕

[@LycheePudding]

Thank you so much for this video. I really appreciate that you are so honest and pointing out the hardships in reality. I have never watched anyone on KZbin who will straight up admit that you need to understand income, potential hardship of pregnancy etc. You’re so opened minded and how you approach it is so casual yet serious.

[@kellyfoster4188]

I just started watching your channel and I love it! 💕 I suffer from anxiety so I get stressed ALL the time and the best thing I’ve found to help is meditation, a bath, reading a good book or relaxing in my bed watching a calming movie or show. You’re amazing and you’ve made me want to move to nyc so much more now!

[@josephinejackson3135]

Hey Tess! I’ve followed you (and Pat!) for a long time and am STOKED about your wedding plans! My husband and I also got engaged at 26 and married at 27 (we are 28 now) We got married September 10th in Maine, where we are both from. Such a beautiful time of year to get married!! We had a blast enjoying all the engagement butterflies, so glad you guys are enjoying the process and not rushing it. Such a fun and exciting time, all the best to you guys!

[@mrvampirexxxdiaries]

When im having a bad day, I usually watch KZbin! I also watch KZbin when I’m happy. It’s a great platform. Love your channel especially!

[@Gabalove759]

I love how honest and sincere you are, it's rare nowadays on youtube. Thank you for this video.

[@UsernamesForDummies]

Having a bad day...any kind of distraction definitely helps. I’m like you. I get lost in my thoughts and worries to an extent that I cannot fall asleep. Reading, watching a show or even KZbin helps.

[@allyeatworld]

i love you so much tess!!! :') so proud to say i've been following you for years. congrats AGAIN on your engagement and thank you for always being so open and genuine.

[@thatpiscesgal]

I’ve been watching your videos for years and I’m so happy to see where you are now.. literally feels like we’ve had this long friendship together haha so happy for you and Pat and I can’t wait for wedding planning videos 💕

[@conniepapafotiou1500]

Honestly loved this video, usually I find Q&A's so boring but yours was so relaxed and exciting! Can't wait for the wedding vlogs!! 😍😍

[@rovi1706]

I think that getting outside of my house, feeling the sun on my skin and just walk around the city observing people really helps me to break with a "cicle" of stress or sadness

[@lauraharris9466]

I LOVE the shorter hair! I’ve been with you since 10k subs, and this is one of my favorite looks on you!

[@Kristin-gw8th]

I relate so much to shyness as your biggest insecurity, I’m the same way which is hard when you want to be a social person but overthinking and anxiety gets the best of you. I’m moving to nyc in a few months and your videos make me so excited for it although I’m definitely nervous about the making friends aspect. As always, great video :)

[@angofftheclock]

the greatest showman is my absolutely faveeeeee, thank you so much for answering questions about NYC! I'm super scared to move but I think it'll be a really good growing experience!

[@viviannagonzalez1127]

I’m also obsessed with the greatest showman. Like I can’t stop listening to the songs and I just want to watch it over and over again!! Love you!!!❤️😂

[@theemily_jane]

When I’m having a bad day I always always ALWAYS do something that will make me happy/calm. I like to start by putting on a cute pajama set, doing something to help my skin, writing in my diary and listening to my favorite music which is frank Sinatra, al bowlly, etc. whenever I do this it never fails to make me feel better because I’m doing something for me!

[@evermorenata]

I feel so happy when I watch your videos, it just sends good energy into the world. We love your personality from what you show us. Stay true to you.

[@Kathubbss]

So glad to hear the plans! Congrats! Also, thank you for touching on the difficulties of making friends in a new city. Very relatable right now. Please expand on coping if you feel inspiration! :))

[@vanessaskin]

Thank you for acknowledging that part on not feeling behind for your age and comparing to anyone on marriage and stuff. Loved the video! And I'm 100% with you on the shy part! So insecure about it and hard to change it!!!

[@anzyozikianda]

YESSSS! The Greatest Showman is literally the greatest movie, no pun intended!

[@kelliepercival8999]

I definitely understand the insecurity with being shy and quiet. It’s been a huge struggle for me throughout my life and I’ve gotten so much better but it still bothers me sometimes. I’ve kind of learned to accept it though as part of who I am and have realized that not everyone can be an outgoing talkative person. It would be boring if we were all the same, and it can give you the opportunity to reach and connect to different people that outgoing people can’t. 💕 you have a great personality and I bet the thing that makes you insecure is part of what people close to you love about you!

[@kRiiHh]

vampire diaries, the ace family, and the greatest showman... love it!!! One of the reasons why you're one of my favourite youtubers is because of our similar interests, and I've loved watching your style evolve over the years!! Great video 😊

[@kelly_0727]

You said when you have a bad day, you binge watch a TV show or listen to music. What I do on a bad day is in all honesty, watch your videos! I have been a fan of yours for such a long time. But watching your videos truly helps me destress and relax or keep my mind of things that I may overthink on a bad day! You just give out so much positive energy, it can make anyone's day better!

[@itskenziew]

I remember I first found your channel because of your Vampire Diaries/Pretty Little Liars videos, so great to see how far you’ve come now and to be a part of your life and journey😊 you’ll always be one of my top favorite KZbinrs, and I’m so excited for you and Pat and can’t wait to watch the wedding process!!

[@ptitmanu20]

I was engaged at 22 and married at 24 :) when you find the ONE for you, why wait? And I agree that organizing a wedding takes a lot of time! We needed one entire year to do it! Can't wait to see the whole process for you

[@mareikew.2869]

Usually I am not a "fan girl" here on KZbin but you are so inspiering, authentic and beautiful minded that I just have to comment💞 I love your channel and your personality. Always looking for a new video of you🌻 greetings from germany🙋‍♀️🇩🇪

[@Jessicaohyeah1]

I love how you are so down to earth and kind. I always love watching your videos!! We have a lot more in common than I thought lol! I LOVE The Greatest Showman, literally almost cried in the theater...

[@maddieshort8800]

literally love her so much........ so honest and down to earth. Always amazing videos!!!

[@heyannskii]

You are so sweet, real and down to earth. I’m so excited for your wedding process videos!

[@Leazorica]

I am so thankful that I discovered you when you uploaded your first Selena Gomez GTL video !:) you have been one of my favorite youtubers ever since and I'm so happy for you. Xx

[@justinepinzon9415]

Hey girl hey! Love ya & love your content! So I was born & raised in NY right in Yonkers, but as a kid my parents made the decision to move us to the suburbs in Florida. Living in NY, family of 4 living in a two bedroom apartment & honestly it was so fun I loved it. And living in Florida it’s okay too. It’s definitely based on the nurture you give kids. Go with the flow with whatever you & your fiancé decide as parents!

[@bellarichards8619]

Girl, I have been watching you for about 4 years or so I actually don’t know but you were the first KZbinr I ever subsrcibed to and the first vid I saw was like a ‘cute hair style’ video! I just wanna say although I don’t know you personally, you are the most genuine, loving KZbinr and you have such a true heart towards everything you do! Keep going and thriving! Always supporting 💜💜

[@aliceathan97]

Red is your colour!♥️

[@catherinerodas9529]

Been here since “meet my roommate” video lol you’re so genuine I love how you haven’t changed as in no plastic surgery or injections like these other youtubers. Can’t wait for the wedding

[@luckygirlz99]

I love how open you are when answering the questions!! Always genuine and sweet

[@Kukxi]

Tess! Although you say you’re shy, i think you still boost that kind of confidence that makes everyone feel warm. 😊😊

[@ChloeAnne73]

Every time I watch you I think of the first time I found KZbin and the beauty community. It was your waking up late/fast and easy hairstyles back in college and I’ve been obsessed since but every time I watch you you are the exact same genuine person. Love you 💕

[@eusouathami]

I just watched two videos from different youtubers that I love but it was dissapointing... you know, the ups and downs, sometimes you're not in the mood and post a video just for agenda. But you never disappoint, girl!!! KILLING IT! Lots of love from Brazil

[@federicacambi8252]

Hi Tess! I'm from Italy and I don't know if you're going to read this but I just wanted to say that I watch your videos since day 1 and you're my favourite youtuber because you're very down to earth and sweet and also you make your followers feel like your friends, you have such good values and I think you're such a great role model on the internet :) Love ya!!

If music is food for the soul, than you have everything needed here to feel great in life. Feeling like it is time to get back into the studio myself.

[@SimplyBrookexo]

you look STUNNING in this video, I'm loving the red on you!!! but I'm so excited for the wedding when it happens and I really hope you guys have a lovely wedding planning experience. I love you & Pat and I wish the best for you two!

[@TheCristionna]

Tess I loved this q+a!! I love how honest and real you were! It made it feel like we were just friends having a conversation over coffee or something. So great that you’re so real

[@rosehxdd]

I relate so much to your insecurity of being shy!! It felt good hearing someone else is on the same page and accepting your flaw. So much love for you angel xx

[@MommaFromScratch]

I like your hair short, so cute! I'm glad your doing your wedding at your own pace, enjoy the process. I was married at 20 and now 10 years later we are head over heals and enjoying life. really like this sit down chat.

[@sanaameftouh777]

Everyone is loving the ACE FAMILY , they’re just the best KZbin family !! I love your videos Tess❤️😍

[@thedentonduo]

Your hair is so freakin cute 💕

[@ibidunomisade5510]

When I am having a bad day, I just chill, I cook some good food, some wine, & some journaling.

[@karadavisson8709]

Been watching you since around 300k! So awesome to see you grow your channel and everything! Can't wait to support you when your clothing lines comes out!

[@kasiowelove1]

I got married last year at the age of 25 (my husband's 26) and I think it was a perfect age FOR US. I know tons of people who are not ready to get married in their mid-30 and I think it's perfectly fine :) We are not planning children in the next 3-4 or even 5 years though - we have to go to NYC and Mexico first! :)

[@laibakhan3769]

Katarzyna Grzejda i think thats the perfect age to get married if u r ready! Because you grow together..

[@arls1253]

Laiba Khan there's no need to get married as long as you have a serious relationship. Like, it doesn't change anything

[@kasiowelove1]

Ar LS Well, it all depends on your believes, and also where you live. Where I live, in Poland, without marriage it is quite hard to get a loan or buy an apartment. Plus, I got married as a Roman Catholic, so for me that was a normal process of my life and religion I was raised in 😊

[@TheMaKeUpFrEak16]

I always thought it’s strange when people get married old or young but now looking at it since getting engaged at 21 i feel its a perfect age for me, growing up more mature for my age was a lot easier than being a typical 21 year old. I’m so happy for you girl! May God bless your marriage❤️❤️

[@laibakhan3769]

Ar LS I have no hate towards the not getting married, bt if u r comfortable and confident and secure in your relationship then it doesnt matter what you do.. for me my believe is if u get married early and if u r ready then it a very beautifull feeling

[@sammudg8720]

The way you were blushing while talking about babies .. aww cutayyy ♥️♥️ May god bless you both with immense happiness and success. 🙏🏻

[@melissayang1764]

Yesss! Tess! Please come with a line! I'm soo ready to commit! And sorry about the 10000 comments, but watching your videos always gets me soo excited and happy!

[@nicole42999]

Oh my gosh I'm so excited for you and your future life so that's so exciting! I have lived watching your videos for a while so that's great! Thanks for being such a great and genuine KZbinr 😊

[@jipvanwalree]

So nice that your going to take us with you on your wedding plan 'trip'. I want to become a wedding planner or stylist so i'm so ready!!

[@ErikaRodriguez-jr3qb]

You’re my favorite KZbinr and always be. I know we have never met but I feel like we relate so much and seeing you be successful is like seeing a good friend be successful. I’m so happy for your success and wish you well in life. Keep shinning bright girl 😊✨

[@lyfesadream3328]

Yay!! So excited for your wedding!! I've been with my {now} fiancé for 6 years, we got engaged last November & we are saying "I Do" in 2020!!

[@jyothigiri1021]

This was super genuine!!! love ya xxx congrats and good luck with the wedding planning, cant wait!

[@sydneymcginn]

So happy you’re coming back to MN! We’ve missed you♥️

[@lexlex8166]

You and the ACE family are literally my only favorite KZbinrs! How cute is Elle!

[@LittleMissFashion07]

thank you thank you thank you for being real! so many youtubers beat around the bush but you say it how it is and that’s why I continue and always will continue to watch your videos.

[@justaplantbasedgirl]

You look so beautiful with your shorter hair! I am so exited for the wedding videos :)

[@leslieflores542]

For bad days I mostly try to just take a deep breath and think about the things in my life that I’m fortunate to have and what I’m grateful for and hold on to that to get me through things.
