This Year Changed Everything: Toxic Friendships, Failures & Self Worth + GIVEAWAYS

[@GlamGirlGabi]

Thank you for joining me in this VERY VULNERABLE video today. I'm going to be honest, it made me so insecure that I almost didn't post it but I am trying very hard to be okay with imperfection. On that note, here is something I FAILED AT - the audio levels are all over the place in this video because I should have used a lav mic in the house but I used a normal shotgun mic and there was a lot of echo and weird stuff going on. Since I "failed" at the audio in this video, I purchased a great lav so that these vlog style videos will be easier to watch moving forward. I tried a new video form (vlogging), got out of my comfort zone, failed at the audio, analyzed the failure and then worked to improve it for the future. Hopefully that somehow inspires you to be okay failing too. I love you all so much. MERRY CHRISTMAS!

[@kristarenee805]

@@GlamGirlGabi happy you did. You have already helped me just within this hour!!! Love hearing failures and solutions to them, honestly how we will ever grow. Thank you for uploading this video ❤️❤️

[@debrarichlin723]

You may know more about sound than you realize….i was so busy listening to what you were saying (and, let’s be honest, hoping you would show us your bunbun) that I didn’t notice audio 😂🥴😂🎄

[@katy4639]

It can’t be easy to be so vulnerable with an online platform. Thank you for making this video, it is just amazing!

[@FashionPassion777]

I'm so glad you posted this video Gabi ❤ I know it's not always fair but sometimes it takes one very brave person being vulnerable to create so much positive change for many others, like a ripplle effect. I'm so proud of you Gabi and I hope you are also so proud of yourself - yes for this video specifically, but more so for who you are and your approach/attitude in life in general 😘

[@marcelalozano9382]

Thank you for your authenticity! It's refreshing to see videos where perfection takes a back seat. Would love to see a tutorial on best way to clean makeup brushes. Thank you for sharing your talents and your generosity. Tir Tir please!

[@dionline88]

I think you don't give yourself enough credit; your Psychology degree is 'just an undergraduate degree' is a put-down! Girl, you earned that degree, celebrate it and celebrate yourself! This whole video was utilizing what you learned earning that degree. And you did an awesome job at your life, your channel and especially your kids!! Celebrating their failures in that way will help them for the rest of their lives - simply brilliant on your part!! Don't enter me into any giveaways, I don't need anything. What I would appreciate are more videos like this one. You just being you. We all see people trying to be perfect on screen when we all know no one is perfect. Speaking from your heart conveys far more than just words. It's when people's hearts come together. I appreciate you, your talent, your knowledge and your admission to not being perfect. Kudos to Gabi!!!

[@GlamGirlGabi]

Wow, thank you so much for such a thoughtful and heartfelt comment! 🥹Your encouragement means the world to me. It’s amazing to hear that the video resonated with you.I’m so grateful for this little community where we can be real with each other. Life isn’t perfect, and I think that’s what makes it beautiful-sharing those imperfect, raw, and relatable moments. Thank you for appreciating me just as I am. Your support and kindness truly light me up. Sending you all my love!

[@DMoz13]

Yes! I thought the same thing when she said it was, "just an undergraduate degree."

[@bambina3148]

I have turned down 5 jobs this year that I really wanted to accept, but didn’t have the confidence. So I’m stuck in a toxic workplace feeling angry with myself. My parents constantly told me I was useless, my ex husband believes that women can’t manage without men. My own 2 daughters are extremely successful in their chosen fields, one in corporate business and the other in her own business. I succeeded at giving them confidence to be themselves, but don’t have it for me. Thank you Gabi for your honesty and integrity ❤❤❤

[@nancymccormick7567]

I get that

[@GlamGirlGabi]

First of all, let me say how incredible you are. 💖 You’ve raised two successful, confident daughters-that’s a testament to the strength and love you’ve poured into them. That’s no small feat! It’s clear you have so much to offer, even if you don’t always see it in yourself. Turning down those jobs wasn’t a failure-it was a reflection of where you were emotionally at the time. But here’s the thing: you’re acknowledging it now, and that awareness is powerful. You have the ability to change your story. Confidence isn’t something we magically have; it’s something we build, step by step. And you’ve already taken so many brave steps by recognizing your worth and showing up here. Thank you for sharing your heart and being so open. You are NOT stuck-you’re in the process of rediscovering yourself, and I truly believe you’ll find your way to a better place. Sending you so much love and encouragement-you’ve got this! ❤❤❤

[@lisapoulsen5452]

I really liked this style of video. It’s not practical for a tutorial or some other content, but when it works, I’m all for it🥰🥰🥰

[@lisaremmers4492]

I have failed at meeting my personal weihtloss goal despite really trying and am within 5 pound but realize it is the holidays and I am giving myself Grace and celebrating how far I've come.

[@Kimmie546]

I suffer tremendously with anxiety...I know that struggle. I never feel like I am enough, and a lifetime of disappointment has only re-enforced that. I have never been enough, therefore, I am not enough. Miss Gabi, you are enough, you are strong and smart and kind. (You are beautiful but our worth needs to be based on more than our looks, but your beauty is tremendous!) Your kindness shines in your eyes and your soul. I can see it, and I can feel that.

[@jeanniesmith3705]

I will be praying for you❤

[@comosi519]

TIR TIR - I would actually like to see more videos like this one! It's because you're so relatable. Not only are your beauty videos incredibly helpful, but it's also the way you draw your audience in with your vulnerabilities. You're open with us, and it's sweet. So, the beauty tutorials are fun, and it's also nice when you spend time chatting with us like we're hanging out on a Sunday morning.

[@GlamGirlGabi]

This comment just warmed my heart! 🥹💖 Thank you so much for your kind words and feedback-it means everything to me. I’m so glad you enjoy the mix of beauty tutorials and those more personal, cozy chats. I love connecting with you all on that deeper level-it’s like having a little community of friends! 🥰 I’ll definitely keep that in mind for future videos. Sending you a big hug and so much love!

[@shirleyoickle8307]

My failure this year was my relationship, I was involved with a very shallow toxic man. BUT, I also gained the strength to leave and start a journey of self love and healing. ❤

[@cynthiab9077]

Yea!!!!!!! I’m so proud of you! Please don’t go down the same road again. I see my sister-in-law repeat a pattern of choosing toxic men. Keep your eyes open! ❤❤❤

[@shirleyoickle8307]

@cynthiab9077 ❤️ Thank you

[@GlamGirlGabi]

Wow, that takes so much strength and courage-good for you! ❤ Walking away from a toxic situation is never easy, but choosing yourself and prioritizing self-love is such an incredible step forward. Healing is a journey, but it sounds like you’re on the right path. Sending you so much love and support as you continue to grow and thrive! You’ve got this! 💪✨

[@LP-fz5xm]

It breaks my heart that you say you’re not a spiritual person. You ARE a spirit…..with a body. Love you and praying for you.

[@vzeimen]

Love your messages today. I'm a 61 year old woman, daughter, mother, wife, cousin, sister, mother in law, daughter in law... and I worked in elementary schools for 22 years. Remember that no matter what you tell your children, they emulate and associate with what they see in their parents more than anything they are told to do or that they are. You can tell your kids that they possess many positive traits, which is absolutely true, and important that you tell them, but if you are not using the same adjectives on yourself in their presence they will not hear what you are telling them about themselves.

[@DebbieK1107]

Great video, Gabi!! I agree with having to let friendships go. I have 2 friends of 20+ years, I continue to try to get together with them for suppers. They never commit to come through. I need to back away and try to move on instead of thinking I can fix this friends separation. My failure is trying to fix relationships that no longer want to exist. It's so hard, because our friendships have always been times of laughter, smiles and tears. Thank you for this video!! Merry Christmas to you and your family!! ❤️🎄❤️🎄

[@JoniMIller-ee7cv]

So glad you posted this Gabi. I think all of us go through these types of self sabotaging thoughts, especially as women. I went through a very traumatic childhood/teenage years. It took me a long time to create my own power. Relationships are complicated and you can't please everyone. That's just the way it is. Keep going!!!

[@nicole_a_11]

I really enjoyed the realness of this video and the different topics you touched on. This shows you are such a genuine real person which is relatable and refreshing. I alwasy enjoy your content, it's authentic and uplifting.

[@GlamGirlGabi]

Thank you so much for this lovely comment! 🥹💖 It means so much to me that you appreciate the realness and authenticity I try to bring to my content. Knowing it resonates with amazing people like you makes it all so worth it. Thank you for always supporting and uplifting me-it truly means the world!

[@all_ears_]

Failure... after hearing you talk about feeling worthy, it's that. I'm successful, but believe it's luck. Thank you for reframing that!

[@shannonevans6344]

I agree wholeheartedly of removing yourself from toxic people. It really helps with lessening anxiety.

[@patriciabochko367]

I’ve had 2 house rabbits, and they each had their own personalities!!! Lots of work and lots of love!!

[@lisamcgee1345]

Letting go of trying to control someone else's feelings is so freeing. Walking away from toxic friendships is so hard, but so healthy. I'm so happy you are on this journey, as am I, of taking care of yourself. I would love to hear more of real life problem solving, as well as your beauty tips. I would be happy with any of your giveaways. Keep being you! Lisa

[@kristarenee805]

I’ve failed with my workout/healthy lifestyle. So I am trying again, that’s my goal for the end of year and going into the new year. I however accomplished 6 years of sobriety and want to celebrate that with you all!! If I can do that, I can and will get healthy and it’s not about being over weight! It’s about wanting to be as healthy as I can so I can live healthier and be here longer on this earth. ❤❤❤ Thank you for doing this video, I’m inspired and have hope!! Funny how things work out, when your feeling down or overwhelmed. Boom this video pops up and I needed to hear this. Thank you , Gabi!!

[@GlamGirlGabi]

Krista, what an incredible accomplishment to celebrate 6 years of sobriety!!! That is absolutely amazing! You should be really proud of yourself because that is not something easy to do. As for your workout and healthy lifestyle goal - you got this. Next year will be your year! And remember that when you fail for a day, a week or a month, it’s okay because it’s a challenge that’s putting you out of your comfort zone. Just take some time to reflect on why you “failed”, change the situations that led to failure and try again. Perfection is never the goal. Growth is. Sending you a big hug!

[@katy4639]

Congratulations, that is a huge accomplishment!! I understand what you mean about being healthy - it encompasses so much more than one’s weight. I wish you the best of luck in the next year!

[@mechellegoetz747]

I really enjoyed this video. Don't ever be nervous to be your authentic self. None of us are "perfect". Haru haru wonder. Make up trends that you wish would go away, a fashion video, or a travel vlog.

[@sandybrand3230]

Ouffff….that was some video❤️. I must say that I never once questioned your authenticity….you are simply adorable! Failure is a result of trying however big or small, mundane or important. I became a gramma this year and it sent me on a crocheting craze😂😂😂. Plenty of fails there let me tell you🤦🏻‍♀️. But I’ve gotten pretty darn good at it if I do say so myself🤓. As a mom of four adults, I still fail at not letting the younger two “fix” their mistakes……I feel they’re pain so acutely that it pushes me to act when I should stand back…..66 years old and still learning🤷🏻‍♀️. As for video ideas, i love anything to do with mature makeup application….my age should be a clue😂😂. Happiest of holidays to you and your sweet family! ❤️❤️ from a fellow 🇨🇦 in Quebec 🥰

[@monikachlebowska6269]

Being your authentic self is never a failure. Having imperfect house is not a failure, it is life with all it's struggles, ups and downs. Your chanel is a sucess because you are real and willing to show that. This vid was one of the best you have made. If more people were willing to look inside themselves , the world would be a better place. My suggestion for future vid would be: we all have blushes we don't use, or don't know how to use on our skin tones, "how to layer different colour blushes together to give multidimmentional, rich blush and use those not so perfect purchases" and my preference would be for haru haru wonder.❤

[@erikamaria2875]

Omg Gabi what a lovely video. I can feel the appreciation for your audience and your insights are so on point. It's interesting that I said this to my son today almost with the same words..... That he is enough and must not compare himself with others bc he is perfect the way he is and doing his best he can and being authentic is everything he needs to do because I love him anyways. I appreciate you so much Gabi, I am so happy I found your channel and now let's grow together into our authentic selves even more. Sending you much love from Austria! 🥰🤗

[@Montanamountaingal]

FAILURE - one of my failures this year was focusing too much time on my job, and losing focus on more important things that were going on in my family at the time.

[@cynthiab9077]

I give my workplace my time for free frequently and it needs to stop! I just have such a hard time keeping up. I keep trying to make adjustments and I will keep trying!! Good luck to the both of us! ❤

[@Neurodiva75]

Your success comes from your ability to be genuine to be yourself to be vulnerable. This is something that so many people should learn. Many years ago a Canadian company incentivised its employees to report errors, mistakes etc. this became a global phenomenon in business. In business being true to oneself will build trust and will be based on shared values. Thank you ❤

[@PetraEmmy]

Gurl! I am such a people pleaser. But once I hit 50 my mind changed. My worth is more important then trying to make everyone happy

[@maureenturk8578]

You have achieved great success growing your channel - you develop the content - you are the MUA - and your audience loves you. We love your personality, creativity, empathy and humor. Look in the mirror - you are also quite beautiful and offer us tips and methods for making the most of our features. All of these assessments you are making now as you mature are perfectly normal. At 68, I still feel as if I’m a work in progress. Still learning. But please don’t blame yourself when people cut you down. We can’t please everyone nor should we try. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ My favorite videos are makeup tutorials, especially for older women. Take care! I don’t need a giveaway, but it’s very sweet of you to offer these!

[@SharrellKline]

I love watching your videos. In 2025 I will not be watching any sale videos no matter how much I like the influencer. No Sephora, Ulta, Amazon or Black Friday sales. No "ND's new eye palette release" or other releases. I have to stop buying stuff and use what I have across the board. With that said, I want to see videos on "shop my stash", "declutter what you don't love and use, or what doesn't work great every time", "quick makeup when you don't feel great", "refreshing your makeup later in the day", "party makeup that doesn't look like you're trying too hard", "how to correct mistakes like when eye shadow or liner goes wrong", "mixing colors when something isn't the perfect color like foundation, blush, or lipstick" 💖

[@aoyhan5757]

All amazing ideas! I also have to stop buying stuff. My collection is huge and very nice. I just need to use everything. It's ok though, it's just going to be hard.

I applaud your parenting skills. Well done. 👏👏👏 Congratulations on an excellent 2024! May the New Year bring abundant happiness, love, great people, powerful connections, laughter, good health, and much success. ♥

[@leilaarocho9582]

I agree with you 100% throughout the last four years I started getting away from toxic friendship. It’s not good for your mental health your heart and your well-being. I decided that I choose happiness not negativity. And some of those toxic friends are so negative that it’s toxic. Unfortunately with family I just deal with them once in a blue moon and that’s it. It’s harder to walk away from family that are toxic, but just deal with them a couple of times a year. It won’t be so bad.

[@jeanneford1196]

TRNR skin….I love when you have a guest…your dad, Justin Hickox, the lady from RMS…..those videos introduced me to aspects (science/ingredients from your dad, hair from Justin) I had not considered before. And I found new folks to follow because of your introduction. I also love your makeover videos; they are so in depth (what makeup they use, shop for new makeup, etc). Let your creativity continue to guide you; we will all be watching. Happy Holidays from Florida. Hugs to cute Pom.

[@gailmoody8178]

My biggest failure, although I would call it a disappointment is being too hard on myself when things that I expect will work out or change, do not happen due to some unforeseen circumstances. I do know as women, we expect to be perfect, and we certainly are not. We all have our own differences and experiences, that is what makes each of us unique.

Do i unkn̈owingly repeat them, probably but thats ok too i am not perfect. Gabi i love your videos skin care and make up for mature skin i would love to see.

I love your message about failure and I think I’ve failed at teaching my daughter that failure is ok. My New Years resolution!!❤

[@GlamGirlGabi]

Yes!! We all have as parents honestly. Redefining failure is so important when it comes to the healthy development of our children. It’s been so fun every evening high fiving each other and saying “good job at failing!” I also share all my failures too so they know it’s normal. I want them to know that when you’re an adult you don’t just suddenly stop failing. Or if you do, you’re just not doing things that are hard enough.

[@susankuhfuss6648]

Love your video today! Thanks for being authentic and vulnerable...that's my failure and it's time to change that!

[@Donna-vh5ym]

DESAVERY. Gabi, I commented at 10:31 CST this morning, but my comment is gone. Grrr. Finger's crossed this one stays put. For 2025, just be authentically you as usual, and we'll watch. I kid you not, as soon as I get a notification, I jump to watch because you've changed my makeup and hair game completely. I'm more confident than I've ever been because of learning from you. I would love to hear how you take care of yourself. I remember the busy days of being a mom with young kids and trying to balance it all. My failure: thinking I could learn a new language in my 60's in a year. Ha!.. That's okay, I'm determined and if it takes another year or 2 so be it. A huge dose of love coming your way Gabi. ❤❤❤

[@dslart9576]

Haru Haru Wonder for me too. I just read this morning that trying to be a perfectionist just means you never feel good enough. Guess what? Each one of us is good enough in our respective lives. I have enjoyed your channel and sense of humour for a few years now. I enjoyed it when you went to people's homes for the make over... it was fun and real and made me smile. If you can touch people's lives through a KZbin Channel, imagine how you can be in person. Carry on Gabi~ we adore you.I am an aspiring artist. I have beautifully and magically failed at so many paintings..but every failure I learned something to help me with the next piece of art.

[@catscantcookham]

Tir Tir - you are amazing and I love videos like this. It gives us a good look at behind the scenes of what you do everyday in your life. People don't think about the bunny food and box and the kiddos etc. I would love to see more videos like this. What you read, what you got out of it. Your psychology degree would help us immensely. I have failed at keeping my house up. I work 9-10 hours and drive 2 to 2.5 hours commute. However, I need to make my space a priority for relaxation and unwinding.

[@cynthiab9077]

Wow! You are amazing TOO!!!!

[@debrarichlin723]

First, I want to ❤validate❤ your strength, generosity and vulnerability in making and then posting this video. You are a better mom for having worked on yourself. I would like to see more like this where you share who you are. Considering the divisive political/social climate of the world today you are a vision of healthy introspection and willingness to see all sides and what brings healthy progress. Wishing you and yours Happy Holidays and New Year! ❤️💚🩵💙🍫🥓🍾

[@cynthiab9077]

I’m with you! Especially with the chocolate and bacon!

[@barbd5777]

I think we all just one a prize with this video. So incredibly refreshing to see such a human side to you. I think this was already suggested, but doing these types of videos even once a month would be amazing! I think we all need to be reminded that we as individuals matter. I have failed at doing that for so long and at almost 60 (and a wife and mother of 3), I'm hoping to dig out of that state of mind. It's not an easy thing but videos like this are so helpful. Love the Tir Tor give- away but honestly, I won either way. Thank you not only for the most brilliant make up tips but also for your authenticity. You are appreciated more than you know. Happy Holidays Gabi!❤

I have failed at patience, managing my health issues. Realized I can’t change anyone just myself.loved this video!!❤❤❤

This is something that I often tell myself too. I can't change anyone, just myself. I also focus a lot on the fact that I can't control how other people feel. I have repeated this to myself so many times this year,.

Haru Haru Wonder ❤️ Gabi! I loved this video. Truly and honestly. I love your structured content, but vlogs really convey a more personal feel, and I’m so proud of you for putting this video out! I’d really love to see more vlogs in 2025. As a viewer, it reminds me that our favorite KZbinrs are just like us. They’re not perfect, they do chores, they have fun times with their family and friends, etc.

Tir Tir - Hi Gabi. Discovered your channel just a few months ago. You are very down to earth. I would love to see a video next year for someone like me who is extremely intimidated by makeup application. I need to be talked off the ledge 😉I’m racing out the door in the morning to catch a train. So I have time for eye liner and lipstick only. My goal for the new year is to really be dedicated to my skin care and experiment more with makeup…..because after all it’s fun.😉 If you can do a video specifically about eyeshadow application- a few looks. The simplest look that can be created in the least amount of time, up to a very glamorous (night out) look when more time is available. Thanks & Happy Holidays 😊

[@kathydaniel-brown8675]

I love that I found your channel! I think you’re so modern, fun and relatable! Your recommendations on hair and makeup are so spot on for me❣️ You just keep being your wonderful self and block out that negative noise❣️💜🫶🏻💕

[@brigitteseal2843]

TRNR skin! Gabi, you are beautiful in every way! Well said! Thank you so much for sharing the unattractive human side of life. You are so courageous doing what you do. Placing yourself in the public eye will always pose risks to your self-esteem because many people dwell in misery and want to bring everyone down. You're handling it well! You are one of my favorite MUAs, but even more, I see you as a lovely, talented, intelligent, beautiful young woman who shares her knowledge in an important way with other women. Keep up the great work!

Aww, thank you so much for your kind and heartfelt words! 🥹💖 This truly means the world to me. Being in the public eye can definitely be challenging, but amazing people like you remind me why I do what I do. Your support and encouragement fuel my passion to keep creating and sharing. I’m so grateful to have you here as part of this journey with me. Sending you all my love and gratitude! 💕✨

[@alisonthomas3503]

YES!! Haru Haru wonder!! Yes to letting go of toxic relationships!! How about a self-care mini series, like pampering sessions focused on facial care (easy masks, easy facial yoga, micro needling, Gua sha…). Also, cleaning brushes and sponges tips and tricks!!

[@Tsili-Walela]

I love this video with real talk about struggles we all face. This has been a year I feel I’ve totally failed, but the failure comes from not trying and then realizing I’m not getting what I want. I also love your mature makeup videos. And I’d love the Haru Haru Wonder.

TIR TIR. You inspire me, I love that your a Canadian content creator and I just adore your authenticity. I would love to see a video about how you have gotten to where you are today. Merry Christmas, and I will continue to watch all your videos in the New Year 🎉❤ I struggle with self worth also and over the last few months I have been on a personal therapy journey, working towards a better self image. It's a lot more difficult to fix then I assumed, once you become aware of how you truly see yourself.

[@GlamGirlGabi]

Thank you so much for your kind words-you just made my day! 🥹💖 It’s amazing to hear that my content resonates with you, and I feel so lucky to have such thoughtful and supportive viewers like you. I’ll definitely consider making a video about my journey-it hasn’t been a straight path, but sharing it might help others on their own. I hear you on how tough the journey toward self-worth can be. It’s hard work, but the fact that you’re showing up for yourself and doing the work is so inspiring. Therapy is such a brave and empowering step, and even though it’s challenging, every little breakthrough is a win. Be patient and kind with yourself-you’re doing something truly transformative. Wishing you the happiest Christmas and an amazing New Year ahead. 🎄❤ Let’s keep growing together in 2024! ✨🎉

@GlamGirlGabi Thank you 😘

[@healthybydesignyogi]

This was an absolutely excellent video and your Insight and wisdom and excellent advice was so very much appreciated. You have a lot of instinctual wisdom and excellent advice that you can share with this community and I think it would be very much appreciated to learn more from you in that manner as well. My mom passed away at the beginning of the year and I feel like I have failed at grieving well. I don't know if one can grieve in a good manner but I just feel so lost and isolated and I wish that I could be more positive and remember all the wonderful things that my mom did in her life instead of being so sad all the time. Thank you for letting me share this with you and I think that your thoughts of how you want your channel to move going forward is absolutely Wonderful

Haruharuwonder - I LOVE your Bunny! So adorable! Thank you for this video, we all should be able to be open and be ourselves, loved it! In fact I love all your videos. I am mature skin and have tried many foundations, high ends, low ends, ones for mature skins, and they all streak on my face, none look normal. I have changed up my skincare and even tried putting foundation on with nothing on my face. Maybe a short video why our foundations are streak, like it is sliding off ? Thank you!!!!

[@PetraEmmy]

Gabi you are a GOOD SOUL 💟 stop giving ignorant rude people space in your head and heart. Merry Christmas to you and the family

I have majically failed at an amazing amount of intentions, endeavors and actions this year.. I'm initially feeling gut-punched if I self-search for failures turned learning experiences.. which leads me to choose daily self-compassion. More often then not this year, I failed to show myself the grace or self-compassion I'd show to another. I set my own expectations too high. It's time to acknowledge my human failings as acceptable instead of obstacles to success 💞🎄😍

[@tracyp444]

Dear Gabi... your channel is successful because of you !!!! You are likeable, relateable, kind, honest and real !!!! Not to mention the great content, tips, and genuine models you use to show us what we can accomplish .... so happy i found you .... 😊❤❤ My fail would be sobriety... im much more controlled now, no more horrible moments, but my goal for next year is 💯 sober .....

[@cynthiab9077]

Good luck. You can do it!!!

[@tracyp444]

@cynthiab9077 thank you so much ....☺️

[@Neurodiva75]

Haru Haru Wonder Please more videos of you being so open so vulnerable. I find you stronger amazing inspiring. Every time you are lowering the mask of just makeup you shine you become unique. You will always be better than those that put you down. However I know that the internet or social media is what someone defined “sewer” of humanity. But I think you are perfect as you are they don’t deserve you or your talent and what you bring to those that SEE YOU and hear you for your true self. ❤ Thank you for this amazing video!

[@dlansdell15]

TIR-TIR. Honestly, your videos NEVER disappoint and I'm always learning something new! 😊 That said, as I grow older (62), I am finding the need to wear extensions or a wig - of sorts due to thinning hair - and no matter what I've bought, they just don't work. Can you help me, and maybe other older viewers, figure this out? Your videos bring pep to my week, and I thank you for your honesty and for keeping IT (them) real! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! ❤ 🎄 ❤

[@priscillawhinery9581]

one thing I have failed at this year is making my personal life a priority over work this is my goal for next year is to make my personal life 99% priority over work. It affected my mental space and now I know why work doesn't value me as much as I value my personal life. And this my goal for next year

[@katy4639]

Tir Tir! Would love to see videos that deal with methods you use for relaxation/stress relief - and maybe a roundup of books a couple of times a year!

[@GlamGirlGabi]

I love this!! I actually LOVE to read. I’m constantly either reading or listening to audio books. That would be such a fun addition to the channel!

[@jeanniesmith3705]

I have failed to work thro😢ugh procrastination. But I also succeeded in going back to school at age 59 and graduating at age 60 as an Aesthetician. Now, to set up my salon, lol. Gabi, you are always refreshing and someone I would love to hang out with and chat and have coffee❤ Your family is adorable, and I am so very grateful you aren't always pushing for us to purchase something. I am a devoted Christian who loves spending time in Gods word. I also do NOT judge those who aren't Christians. You are a doll and please tell your family Merry Christmas for me. And give the bunny an extra hug from Illinois ❤

[@clarissawebb549]

TRNR SKIN- love florasis. So I enjoyed when you and Marlena Stell roasted makeup! I want to see more of that with Nikki La Rose or Allie Glines, Lisa J or Marlena again! That was so much fun to watch!! Please do more!! You are beautiful and I am happy for your success!!

[@dvanhottie]

Great topic! I had a year of cutting people out in 2016. Lots of reflection. Many fell off my radar. It brought me closer to family, which is so much more important than random acquaintances. This really resonated, thank you! Haru Haru. 😘

[@agarcia210]

Tir Tir or Haru Haru Wonder would be great! I love Korean skin care products. Gaby for whatever reason humans tend to focus on the bad rather than the good. I have learned that its perspectives. You touched on this when speaking about self worth. It’s about seeing the positives in the negatives and learning to love. Surround yourself with people who love and are positive. Maybe for 2025 once a month use your platform and have a wellness/mental health show with a special guests like Jaime and/or literature that specializes in positive psychology. Just remember that people who lash out negatively are usually their issues, nothing to do with you. Thank you for being open about your feelings and life! You are beautiful inside and out! On a positive note it was awesome to see you and your husband collaborate on gifts for men! It was cute, funny and fun we all love you!

[@karenhecht2342]

I have failed miserably with my workout routine. I promise myself I will workout at least 3x a week. Nope. Not even close. At the same time, I struggle with vistibular migraines. I never know when I’ll get one & they are debilitating. Even though I know they are, I still do not give myself grace if I can’t or don’t keep a workout schedule. I have struggled with perfectionism all my life. So, thank you so much for this authentic, honest video. It helped me. I don’t want to try to be “perfect” anymore. ❤❤❤❤

[@brendawischmeier1919]

Thank you for your video. I would like to see more behind the scenes videos. We all really don’t know what goes into making one. I didn’t know you had a bunny, but she is very pretty. And you are right, you don’t have to have a perfect video. You are normal just like the rest of us. I love seeing you do every day stuff. The bunny needs her liter box changed, you have clothes to put up, it’s fine, we all have things that need to done. I have two kitties, cleaning the litter boxes is aways a thing. Something else you could share is, only if you want to, what kind of bunny do you have, what does she eat, and how you take care of her. You being you is just fine with me.

[@JoanM-n7m]

Wow! Anything Tirtir, especially their Vitamin C SERUM. So generous of you. I love your mature skin videos. I'm 72 and need all the help I can get😂

[@clarissawebb549]

I love Tirtir! I just bought all their skincare products

[@nicolette3436]

TirTir or the Haruharu!! Gabi, I would love to see more collabs with skincare gurus like Pennsmith and videos like this. I just turned 30 this year and am truly struggling to find my purpose and joy. I appreciate your vulnerability ❤

[@joannaj.9020]

This lesson about failing was great. Thank you Gabi!

[@AJVR967]

Thanks for a great video! I love hearing about your lessons learned. I failed at a presentation this year- had a bit of anxiety attack and went blank. I practiced more for the next one and it was much better ❤

[@patriciabochko367]

Thank you for sharing this video with us. It all makes so much sense.

[@candiebelanich8223]

Desavery Best way to keep lines under eyes away & makeup not settling in.

[@kristarenee805]

Hara Hara wonder!!! I wanna try this brand. Heard a lot of great things. Love you have a degree too!! I say more videos like this. Without giveaway’s- 🎉yes those are absolutely amazing and I’m sure we all appreciate that but just hearing you talk about everyday life happening is enlightening to say the least!! Or a Q and A… those are always fun, your new followers and OG’s learn a lot from you. I know I have!! 💓💓💓

[@RJ-go3sn]

Gabi, you are as beautiful a person/mother/wife as you are at doing tutorials for us! I love how open you are with us about what is on your mind! (BTW, I adore PomPom! What an adorable bunbun!) For the Giveaway ~ Haru Haru Wonder, and my video suggestion is: A tutorial on the foods that we should be eating that promotes healthy skin/hair etc. My Failure ~ To run a successful campaign to drum up donations for a charity I support. Ugh. I didn't make it the priority I should have.

[@danacross8229]

I have a similar philosophy after almost 45 years in this earth. I've removed myself from 3 toxic people this year alone! I'm also a high achiever and learning from my mistakes!

[@itpatriot]

Desavory! And a video idea for next year might be a focus on real beauty with individual uniqueness, like the way it used to be before all the plastic surgery, injections, etc that has become so popular. Now everyone looks the same! So embracing our beauty as it is without changing it!🙏🙏🙏 And the thing I’ve miserable failed at this year is what I fail at regularly, and that’s being everything I want to be as a child of the Most High God. I know that His mercy and grace cover all of my shortcomings, but it breaks my heart that He suffered so greatly for all of us, yet I continue to be so flawed. That’s honestly the biggest burden I carry…yet He forgives us always at our repentance.🙏

[@shannonevans6344]

I think success comes from continuing to learn while doing your best.

[@katy4639]

TRNR Skin Video ideas! 1-A video about that amazing vacuum?! Boring for some? Mayhaps. Thrilling for me, it looks easy to use when one has back issues. 2-A video about your BunBun, Pom Pom?! Animals are just the light of my life!!

[@katy4639]

I can’t edit my comment, so may I add this to the TRNR comment above? -Would you consider making a video about your thoughts for the new year (hobbies you want to try, etc?). Celebrating failure is a great idea!!

[@PamelaH_HappyVibes]

Gabi - I feel exactly like you do when I have (not meaning to) upset somebody. I’m going to use your wise words going forward. A few years ago I did let go of a toxic friend. It was hard but, my Husband and other friends noticed my outlook has been so much better. I’m so happy to see you surrounded by great KZbinr creators. I am truly Marlena’s biggest fan and always will be. She is the strongest, smartest creator I have ever watched. I’m happy that you are friends with her and Lisa J, Angie etc. You ARE worthy! I would love the see a vlog next year of your day, planning a video idea, opening pr, your thoughts on trends. Even if you just do that once a month, it would be fun to touch base with you. You are headed to even greater things! Btw, my biggest fail was at work trying to cure a violation and stop fines but, I cured the wrong violation. 😂 Oh well, I fixed the right one and got fines waived so not all is lost. 🤷‍♀️Please enter me into any of the giveaways. I love trying new skincare. Your bun bun is adorable!

[@cynthiab9077]

For me, my screw ups at work hit me hard because they feel so public. Glad your work situation was fine in the end.

[@kathymills9572]

Tir Tir Thank you so much for this video! I admired you before, but now I respect you even more. You're real!! It means so much that you shared your vulnerability. Success and failure is life and many people only want to talk about Success, but it is the failures that make us who we are. How we respond to those failures can make us so much stronger and better. I hope you continue to share your authentic self with us in all your videos next year. Any product you review, any tutorial you provide, anything you chat about, will be enjoyable. I look forward to 2025 with you, sweet lady! Good luck and God bless ❤️🤗

[@PaigeRobbins-m1r]

Tir Tir. I would like to see a tutorial on how to use eye shadow palettes. I buy a palette with several colors and I’m not sure how to use it. Another tutorial is why different brushes matter how they are used. I’ve got a ton of brushes and I know they are meant for a certain thing but I don’t know what it is and why it matters. Thanks! You’re amazing!

[@lisavh4610]

Haru Haru Wonder - I agree with no more store based specific ‘hauls’. My favorite videos are honest reviews of how products actually perform on real skin/hair/etc. I love the personable approach to this video. I feel so much more connected to the message.

[@jeansheffield5479]

TRNR skin. I also love when you have other influencers on your channel. Also love when you do your bob in different styles

[@laurimurray6388]

This year I failed at improving my physical fitness, which was a big goal due to turning 65 and watching my body make some big changes. My overall health including eating, physical activity and skin will be my 2025 focus!

[@dianajackson4775]

HARU HARU WONDER please! Gabi, you are doing it all right and such a balanced approach. Can we have a video of classic makeup that just looks good and goes beyond trends? Maybe, tips to creating our own signature look? Thank you Gabi!

[@1111bambina]

I love all of your videos, and I especially resonate with these types of videos where you relay what you have learned from your life experiences and at the same time taking us along in your life journey. Yet, it's more than that, because in these types of videos it almost as if we are walking in the same direction but taking different paths where we meet at a particular juncture - if that makes sense. Thank you for this video today, and all the videos you put together. TIR TIR. A new idea for a video can be where you share beauty secrets or trends from Brazil - whether it be skincare or hair care- something that you have learned from your grandparents or great grandparents that may be unconventional here but others may still do it back home.

[@audreyso1201]

Etre parfait Gabi c'est d'être imparfait, et nous le sommes tous. Merci pour cette vidéo😍😍😍

[@cynthiab9077]

What a lovely sentiment! It was even lovelier in french. I had to have it translated as I am an English speaker from Connecticut in the US.

[@shelleyperkins1948]

TIR TIR SKIN ❤ Gabi, I love the way you encourage your children! You have amazing parenting skills 👍 Confidence is so attractive, and girl, YOU ARE GLOWING! It is about taking a risk of failing because you know that failure won’t brake you, learning from that failure will make you! I have failed with remembering that. (Working on it 😜) I would love a video addressing the dreadful second chin (my jawline has bailed). Short of going back to wearing masks is there really anything you can do? Would be happy with disguising if not treating!

[@cynthiab9077]

Ugggh! I am with you. I’ve decided to start a scarf collection. 😂

[@janachhh]

So generous of you! I'd love the TirTir products! More videos with your husband, more videos like this one and eye tutorial for hooded eyes :)

[@Kimmie546]

I have failed at being a better friend...calling or texting when I thought of my dearly loved (and few) true friends. That is my intention going forward!

[@ChristinePacinda]

The reason your channel has become successful is because of you. I'm not sure you understand that. You are so genuine and authentic, kind and loving, talented and beautiful... and I don't think you see yourself the way we see you. Your willingness to be vulnerable is part of what makes you so approachable and enigmatic. And I'm so glad you've come to appreciate "failure", which truly is our greatest teacher. It's our failures and our reactions to our failures that truly define our character and propell us to true success in life.
