Thank you guys soooooo much for all the kind comments and support. I was nervous to post something so slow and real but I am truly blown away by the way a lot of you can relate.. THANK YOU for lifting me up and giving me a safe space, I hope I can do the same for you
This feels so genuine and like we finally have you back - no sponsor, no motive other than connecting. Makes me feel like I'm 15 watching you do a drugstore haul again. Thank you for this 🤍
I can tell you’re on the verge of tears most of the video, I wish I could give you a hug. You’re doing a great job as a mom, never forget that. If you upload videos I’ll be here ❤ you’re not alone.
Welcome back Amanda❤ I’m currently navigating a divorce with my 15-month-old daughter, and the process has been incredibly overwhelming. The custody battle has shown me how the legal system doesn’t always recognize the immense sacrifices mothers make for their children. It can feel disheartening at times, but I wish you all the BEST as you go through this journey as well. It’s both comforting and bittersweet to know someone else understands this struggle as a young mom. Please keep us updated, always keep smiling xx
I’m 26 now and I grew up watching your vids. Like we have grown up with you girl. 💕 much love from Virginia ❤️You are doing a wonderful job raising your daughter.
Amanda I’m so happy your back, I’m 24 I’ve been watching you on UA-cam since I was 12, I’m raising a baby of my own now so I feel like it’s a big full circle moment for me love following along and growing up with you ❤️
I've been following you since 2012 more or less. but REAL TALK! You always seemed genuine, I usually lost interest in youtubers or influencers if I picked up them trying to use their audience only to profit without putting too much effort, or choosing the easy ways to get fame or money. I'm sure you done things just for the sake of gain in your YT career but it never ever seemed fake. In this video, especially, its clear you are speaking with your heart, it transpires. We can see you have been going through stuff. Something feels different, in a good way. Genuine emotions in your teary eyes show fear of being vulnerable with your audience even if you want to reconnect. I hope you know how awesome and loved you are, you are stronger than you think. I've been battling loneliness too, it gets hard, just know you are never truly alone. you have Gaia always on your side too. Please dont take it as just nice empty words, we'll always be here for you
I’m 26 & have been watching you since I was entering high school. It’s been so wonderful watching you grow up, you’re a great mama and doing amazing!!!
AMANDA! you are so genuine and kind and good things are coming your way. I can't imagine how much you've been dealing with, but how exciting for your brand to come back and it's great you still enjoy making OG UA-cam videos to connect💞 so many people love ya and want the best for you!!
We’re adults now, when did that happen 🥹 fr though we’re the same age and I’ve been following you since we were 10! I remember when you chopped your long hair and would vlog getting content with Maddi Bragg who I also loved to watch so much! It’s super cool to see your perspective on showing Gaia online since you have grown up online yourself Gaia is literally your twin! ❤❤❤❤
Your vulnerability and emotions are beautiful ❤️ you’re such a strong woman and Mother. Time will heal this very difficult period in your life and you will feel yourself again soon just keep holding onto that
Amanda girl I absolutely love your videos and have been watching you for such a long time. I became a mother 7 years ago and and when I did, I remember watching your videos and them being such a comfort to me. I only wish you understood how much you mean to a lot of us, and I am wishing nothing but the best for you and your baby!! You are doing an amazing job and you got this!!!
You are a gem! I am in the same era of motherhood as you - I have an 18th month old baby girl as well and I have been watching you for over a decade. Thanks for being so real and honest with us. You are slaying as a mama queen
It feels so nostalgic watching you grow up to the person you are! I used to watch you when I was younger and I hope that you continue to lead with confidence that the hard times will pass and goodness will follow you !
I first starting watching you when you were so young, we’re basically the same age. I had my first daughter shortly after you had yours. I think it’s to impressive and amazing how you’ve handled the challenges of motherhood. I can’t imagine how hard it must be to take it on without the support of your partner but you are doing amazing.
In case you see this, I am sending you sm love girl. My mom was a single mother and I look up to her more than anyone. You are going to be such a pillar for your daughter and I hope all the turmoil and pain will be water under the bridge. Grew up watching you since the morning routines lol
grew up watching you and you were always an inspiration to me and we aren’t so far in age. i’m 24 and it feels like i’m reconnecting with an old friend. you’re incredibly strong and doing such a good job with baby girl it doesn’t go unnoticed🥲🫶🏼
Amanda, all the best wishes and support through this time. Surround yourself by family, your baby girl and close friends, that elevate you and are there for you in all circunstances, Hughes and kisses❤
Been watching you since I was 11!! Now I’m 25 too 🤍 you are such a good mom & such an inspiration to me😘 you’re doing so amazing Amanda. Sending you love
I have watched you since you were 10 I am the same age, I stopped watching for a while because I felt I didn’t resonate with your content anymore but this was so raw and real and I truly appreciate seeing you and watching you again! Thank you for being you! Again!
you literally are the reason i learned to do makeup. you are the reason i got INTO MAKEUP and fashion😭😭I love you and i am so happy to see you healing❤️
Your energy shines through the video Amanda! I haven't seen a video of you for a while, but I was there in your beginnings and I'm very happy to see that you are blooming and doing your best, love you, hope you are having a great holiday season
This video makes me so happy you have no idea. You were the first beauty guru I ever watched and the reason I got so into makeup and fashion and even bonded with my best friends. We are so happy to have you back you’re literally my comfort person 🥹
Yay you’re back! I’ve been around since your first videos which actually helped me love make up the way i do, your channel was always my comfort channel and i was sad when you weren’t doing videos as much but this video makes me feel like we grew up together. I’m only a year younger so its been a really special friendship with you and your channel ❤
I’ve been following you since 2012 when I was in grade 5 and now I’m 22, its been so special to grow up with you 🫶 Your makeup palette was the first one I ever purchased. And now I work in the beauty industry 😊 Thank you for sharing with us 🫶
Mandy !! Just want to tell you that we’ve grown together and I feel that you have such a great community that you know you can come talk to as whenever you need it! You’ve grown so much, you should be proud ❤️
welcome back girl!! missed your vlogs sm. I'm also 24 so its CRAZY to see how life changes for all of us haha thanks for sharing it you're truly a nice safe space to come back to when times get tough for me, hope we are that for you too
Amanda I’ve missed your beautiful face and your daughter looks amazing, happy, and well! So proud of you! And I see some pain in your eyes whatever it is sweetheart it will pass just keep doing you and being a great mother to your daughter! Happy Holidays to you and your family ❤
So happy to see that you're back Amanda !! I grew up watching your videos from age 11 I'm 23 now, you were one of, if not the first youtuber I subscribed to about 12 years ago. ❤
It is fantastic to see a vlog from you, Amanda, and to hear how you're doing both in your life and in your heart. I'm one of the OG viewers you referred to, and it's amazing that it's been 15 years. I hope you keep this type of vlog going. 💛🧡❤️
Been here since you had braces and were on that collab beauty channel, was it called Polished???. Great to see you back and sending so much love to you ❤
we missed you but happy youre enjoying life :) !!!! Gaia is SOOOOO BIG OMG!! My daughter is 6.5 months and I have another on the way. I would love to see the mommy and me vlogs
Not sure how long I've been following your channel and watching your videos but I would classify myself as an OG lol. But I support you in this journey in your life, do whatever makes you feel happy. I'm dealing with the court system with my ex as well and it is extremely difficult emotionally, physically, and mentally. You got this 💪🏻
It’s so good to see you back 💖 I’ve been following you since we were so young (I’m 25 too!), and life gets SO tough sometimes, but I’m glad that you’re doing well and that you’re able to come back to something you enjoy! You deserve everything nice in the world, I wish you all the happiness
I don't have tik tok but I just watched your tik toks to get the context, I just want to say I went through a very very similar situation with my oldest. The legal battle was the nastiest thing I ever experienced aside from the actual relationship. Sending you love and I promise it gets better. It is still hard but I have found peace having to "co-parent" with an abuser.
Just know you’re not alone and remind yourself every day your not💕🪴✨ we are all here for you and there are many out there who can relate. You are loved, brave, and doing sooooo good Amanda!!!!! So proud of you🦋🫶🏼🌷✨🌿
I’m a 25 year old mom and I have no mom friends/friends and I’m completely alone other than my husband and my older sister. But no girl friends to hang out with and talk to about the things I go through. I get it in a way.
I feel like so many girls don't know the secrets they deserve to know. I found this book,' The Irresistible Seduction Formula' by Olivia Simmons and it’s literally life changer. Has anyone else heard of it?
Thank you guys soooooo much for all the kind comments and support. I was nervous to post something so slow and real but I am truly blown away by the way a lot of you can relate.. THANK YOU for lifting me up and giving me a safe space, I hope I can do the same for you
Been here since we were both 11
Bc we are the same age!
This feels so genuine and like we finally have you back - no sponsor, no motive other than connecting. Makes me feel like I'm 15 watching you do a drugstore haul again. Thank you for this 🤍
Lmfao time flies. We are getting old.
I can tell you’re on the verge of tears most of the video, I wish I could give you a hug. You’re doing a great job as a mom, never forget that. If you upload videos I’ll be here ❤ you’re not alone.
