[@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.

[@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.

[@markcastro7628]

same here...

[@justoneacre7873]

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

[@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!

[@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!

[@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'

[@kimberlyg123]

@@AS-lh7rc Perhaps take your own advice as your telling me what I “should” do. 🙄

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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! ❤️

[@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 💐

[@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🙏🏼

[@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

[@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. 💚

[@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.

[@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 🎉

[@surfit.]

Love watching your videos. You are an inspiration.

[@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.

[@Ana-Maria-Sierra]

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

[@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!!

[@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...

[@cathybrewer8958]

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

[@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.

[@lizalayl]

Thanks for sharing some things about your life ❤

[@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'

[@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.😊

[@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.

[@queencrimsonqueencrimson]

The music’s too loud I can’t hear youuu 🥺

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

Thanks for sharing your story! 🤩

[@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.

[@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?

[@user-oe4kj3rs4z]

We love to see yr videos. Please stay strong and with us. You both are an inspiration. Big hug

[@arcticalchemy]

Pure gold and wisdom. Thank you for sharing such deeply meaningful and personal answers.

[@mariolafiguerola]

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

[@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)!

[@cadeladosol]

Thank you for sharing some of your life with the world. I love to see the area you live in and your beautiful Garden. I thought I could do garden work yet I'm always running around and I can't give it the attention it deserves. If you quit KZbin you will be missed. Say hi to your little family from La Porte TX

[@littlebit6147]

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

[@erwin_888]

if i see Pepe & Eugenia together, or hear them speak about this life, their life, it restores my faith in Humanity and Love...

[@NikkiBigger]

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!!!

[@justinew4454]

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 :) ✨

[@margaretmarsh4611]

Thank you for a lovely video, l know your in the Alentejo , but l wondered where about? We are the older generation ,that traveled with the motorhome , but did find our special place in Portugal. We are just over the boarder in the ribeira Sorraia area. Your words of wisdom are a credit to you both.

[@eseme_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 :)

[@Sara-mp4ut]

So happy you are back! Great Q&A ❤

[@TheDarstarr]

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

[@meriin821]

[@micahmiller9113]

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!

[@g.palmer]

Could you talk about your mold experience in future videos?

[@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. ❤

[@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!

[@teresaedwards3659]

You inspire me so much 💞💞 glad to see you.❤❤

[@joseluisc8891]

such a refreshing episode, so many good stories and tips, I will be watching this a few times! thank you Eugenia!

[@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! 🤍

[@joeplusolga]

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

[@MarMarti1780]

Beautiful...inside & out❣️

[@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. 💟

[@thewriterstuff]

For your next Q&A I'd lovr to know how you and Pepe met? ❤

[@heinrichbuchler8491]

Thanks for watching you over the years and have a good start again and take care❤

[@life-changingbooksprayerfo4344]

You are very courageous. Faith requires having a strong vision and an unshakable belief system. It will come to pass if you do not quit. You can make changes but that doesn’t mean that it will not come to pass.😊

[@user-ly4eu8kq8m]

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.

[@sewlavie]

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😉❤
