Thank you for watching everyone! GO CHECK OUT AMY'S CHANNEL! She is an UNBELIEVABLY talented creator and video editor and I feel SO HONOURED to feature her here on the channel. Here is the video that we did together on her channel - How to Get FLAWLESS Makeup Using ONLY Editing Software: ua-cam.com/video/97TJjEQBm5w/v-deo.html
OMG Gabi, I can’t even TELL you (ok I’m obviously going to try 😂) how much I loved this Collaboration between two SEEMINGLY Mirror Opposites, the Glam Girl and Awkward Amy, but who actually SEE THE WORLD in much the same way at their Core!! Your self confident put together “Let’s Go” partnering with “But First she has to Leave the House!!” is SUBLIME!! I so remember the day you posted your “I’m Not Ok” content which was SO Brave and vulnerable and totally made me (and I’m sure others) feel a BOND with you as a fellow Human, and your story about the HEARTBREAKING Seminal Moment that has defined and driven your career AND Passion for making Women feel BEAUTIFUL made me Cry!! Isn’t it amazing no matter how many years have passed that the SEARING Hurt of being made to believe we are “LESS THAN” is as sharp as the moment it happened?? THANK YOU so much for sharing this with us, it lifted me up and definitely made me Laugh aloud, and I’ll definitely check out Amy’s content as well. Unbelievably great job, my Friend!! 👍🥰💞🌹
@@lindahoffman2692 Linda thank you so much for such an incredibly thoughtful comment. You have no idea how much it truly means to me. I am so happy that you enjoyed this video. We put a lot of thought and heart into it :)
Both the Heart and thoughtful Care definitely show and helped make it very Special. Since our lockdown days I admittedly struggled a little bit with the whole “leaving the house” thing so this definitely made me laugh at myself as a social person with some newly acquired social anxiety! And I don’t think I’m alone (no pun intended) in this post everything world. Once again thank you for such Awesome Content 🥰💞
1. Hygiene. 2. Do sport. You will feel yourself better, more energetic. Others will feel it too. 3. Healthy food. 4. Read some books. 5. Do something interesting for you. With passion. 6.

The most important thing - People should notice your absence, not your presence.
I can relate to this so so much. 10 years ago, I fell in love with a guy who was a PhD student in the same faculty where I was working towards my bachelors degree. His whole environment was rich, academic and very proud of it. I was working shifts as a waitress to finance everything and used to look exhausted and glowed down by the end of the night. One day on my way home I met him together with his fellow students and he walked on by and acted like he didn't know me. I will never, never ever forget this moment. It still haunts me so much.
Ohhh I’m SO sorry you experienced such brutally cruel and callous treatment. I replied to you because you used a GREAT expression I’ve never heard before - you said you were exhausted and “Glowed Down”! That’s such a powerful way to describe how people and just Life can deprive us of our SHINE that we deserve to feel inside, and it’s one of the many great things GABI gives us in her content is how to find and enhance whatever it is that makes us SHINE inside and out!! That NIMROD never deserved you in the first place ! 🥰🌹
@@danilaroche1156 I couldn’t disagree MORE! It absolutely is “a thing” to BLANK someone you claim to care about and make them feel “LESS THAN” and Invisible because you think they’re Inferior to you and your social circle!! Such hurtful behavior had s lasting impact on the OP if you “listen” to how hurt and demoralized she was. GABI’S story about her experience and how it impacted her life, some bad and some positive impetus, was most definitely “a thing” in her life!!
I understand your experience in high school very much. I was an academic introvert as well, also socially awkward and not stylish at all. My older sister however was the drop-dead gorgeous, stylish social butterfly. I envied her so much. One day at school during lunch, I was with a group of friends (girls and guys), and one of the guys said "Gah Leah. Why can't you look like your sister?". It wasn't a guy I liked, but that always stuck in my brain...that not only did I wish I looked like her, but other people did too. It took me a long time to get over that one statement by someone who was not important.
Growing up is so hard. Kids can be so mean . They have no idea how their words and actions can do to another. You are and have always been beautiful inside and out. Confidence is a very attractive trait.
Gabi, thank you. Amy is adorable! Such an important video! It does not surprise me you were studious in school. That guy lost out. You convey intelligence and confidence in all your content, particularly with your articulate delivery. And you always impart positivity in your beauty tutorials. Your high school story is very relatable. I grew up in a mobile home, did not have spectacular clothes, but had a touch of acne and a sense of humor. I remember feeling very satisfied at my 10 year high school reunion. Jocks that would never give me 2 seconds in my junior and senior years were staring at me and saying “I remember you. Man, you look amazing now. What did you do?” The sad thing is, these guys never left town, had beer bellies and looked unkempt. I not only had left town, luck landed me in a career that I embraced and loved, that took me places I only dreamed of. Smiling is a powerful tool. I smile at people everyday and always toward seniors in the grocery store. That smile makes them smile and makes them comfortable to ask me to reach things that are on high shelves and find products they are seeking. I compliment other women for hair, clothing, nail polish. The smile it brings to their faces is rewarding. As my friend says, smiling is better than an RBF any day. 😊
LOVE this! Another way to feel beautiful: Watch a video that includes yourself interacting positively with others that you love. Seeing yourself smiling, laughing, and lighting up with loved ones is like a mirror into our own souls 💜
This is truly a mic drop moment/video. 🎤 Every point was spot on. I especially relate to the point of truly listening to another person without turning the conversation to yourself. The point about becoming distracted or doing other things when someone is talking to you - biggest turn off ever. This happens to me so often and it is really damaging. 😢 I loved the addition of Amy in this video! This is the first time I’m seeing her and I can’t wait to watch her video next!!! ❤❤❤❤
Isn't it such an important reminder for all of us? All you have to do to make someone feel important is listen to them. Make eye contact, listen and ask questions. So many people don't do this anymore and it truly is the way to build a connection with someone.
I think one of the biggest reasons for this is that SO much of our interactions with each other are NOT FACE TO FACE anymore but rather through social media! I’ve always been a good listener mostly because I genuinely dislike talking about myself and find other people far more interesting, so I take the first opportunity to turn the conversation back to them. I’ve met interesting people and learned a lot of things being this way, but it can have the Downside of sometimes making it harder for people to really get to know me well. BALANCE is the key like it is in most all relationships I think.
Gabi, you always touch that sensitive string in me when you approach this topic. :) Just like you, I wasn't (considered) beautiful as a child or teenager. Everyone around me was mocking me, I was bullied, called all sort of names and even beaten in school because I wasn't cute enough. The bullies were related to the teachers, so nobody took action to stop that. During university, my life has changed. I met my first boyfriend. He was handsome and cool and made me feel very special. Later on I met my current husband who's done a lot to help me gain some of that confidence back. But somehow, I'm still struggling. Those years still haunt me. I'm almost 40 and still cannot shake the feeling of inferiority, and lack of confidence and lack self esteem rooted in those years. I look back at my life and it's such a pity! I feel I could've achieved so much more if It weren't for that negative experience. I wish no one else in the world would have to go through something similar, especially in those fragile young years. Your advice is amazing and I hope it will help a lot of beautiful souls out there! You two ladies, did a great job with this video! :)
Sadly though I think she’s indicating that it has in fact held her back from achieving her full potential. It’s almost impossible but to let the hurtful actions and WORDS of others impact us negatively, and the damaging results can last a lifetime.
Wow, that’s profound. I don’t want to make this about me but I identify with this. Sometimes it helps knowing you’re not alone. I’m also working on getting over some things that happened long ago. I’m even older than you and the reflection back on your own life and how you’ve let’s others impact your path is frustrating when you know you’re made for more, to say the least. I hope you continue to work through this and know you are valued. I’m cheering you on. I can tell a lot about you by your kindness and introspection.
@@di3486 Oh my Goodness PLEASE don’t say that about yourself!! What makes us pleasing to look at TRULY isn’t some arbitrary ideal of perfection of Face or Form, it’s the Warmth, Kindness and Intelligence that shine in a person’s Eyes and Smile!! The things you mentioned that you’ve accomplished in your life are what make you Who you are and worth more than any mere empty physical beauty can ever be!! I believe this wholeheartedly and I hope you do too! ❤️
Everyone looks and feels better with a smile on their face! Yes, some days are harder than others. Gabby, my heart sank with you on the story of how the Cute Boy dropped your hand. We truly never know the effect we have on others. Hope you all have a gorgeous day!
Yes, I will never forget that feeling. He was embarrassed to hold my hand. I am glad that happened though because it allows me to be more compassionate and sensitive towards how I make people feel. I never ever want to be the reason that someone feels small. Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment Debbie.
A smile can make THE biggest difference - not only in how I, personally, feel but in other people, too. When you just know someone wants to give you a piece of their mind, smile at them and it almost disarms them! I agree with all of these tips but a smile can make such a huge difference!!
I can relate to your experience. I liked the tip about how you make people feel. It's a good reminder that there is more to beauty than our physical appearance. Thank you!
Much much much more. Our physical appearance is just the vessel that carries us around. There is so much more to a woman than the way their hair or makeup looks (and this is coming from someone who dedicates her entire life to this industry). When it's all gone, what really matters is how you look on the inside and that's harder to fix if it's flawed.
I loved this video and Amy!. The 2 things i think that struck me the most was listening and making the other person feel special. That is so true, our words are suppose to lift people up not tear them down.
My favorite part of this video was that you chose to focus on beautiful acts that we can choose to do, rather than on physical beauty. Your videos teach us how to be the best version of ourselves through skin care and makeup, but all that without beautiful actions. can be very unattractive. Great video ❤.
Incredible and thoughtful video. You and Amy have shared each tip fabulously. Due to facial paralysis my smile muscles stopped working 20;years ago, and when I try to smile, people say I look rude and wicked. For years it hurt me. Now I use my strength of high energy, listening skills and being curious and that helps me ❤❤❤
Aw, this was great - funny but also thought provoking. I'd definitely say listening is my number one. I can't count how many times I've been talking to someone and they started looking at their phone. So rude and thoughtless! I know how much it means to have someone show interest and really pay attention to me, so I work every day to extend that to other people.
I don't know why this comment made my eyes water but MAN what a perfect way to put it. It took time for me to see a lot of things actually. The thing that took me the longest time to see was that beauty isn't even remotely about makeup and hair at all. It is about making other people feel important.
I really enjoyed watching your video. What prompted me to search this was a hangout with my friend whom I haven't seen in a while. I absolutely adore her and I think she's gorgeous. I was feeling insecure about how I look and attributed that to feelings of unworthiness and unattractiveness. Sometimes it's also related to your friend group and not just your lovers. Watching your video reminded of the main reasons I like my friend. She's kind, attentive to what you say and funny! Yes, she's pretty too, but I really enjoy her personality. It reminded me to focus on that and not my weight gain. Thank you!!!!
YES!!!! I’m so happy to hear that this video resonated with you! Being beautiful to other people is so much about who you are on the inside and little to do with how you actually look on the outside. Beauty is warmth. Attentiveness. Kindness. Care. Focus on what matters most and enjoy your life as much as you can 💕 Thanks for leaving such a thoughtful comment. I appreciate you.
Thank you for sharing your story. My heart just broke for you when your that boy dropped your hand. I think most of us have had a moment like that at some point in our lives. This is from another video you made, but I also love your story about how you wore your wig all the time when you were dating your husband because you were afraid he wouldn’t find you attractive anymore if he knew that wasn’t your natural hair, only to discover that he knew all along and still loved you the same. This story is like part 2 to the story about the high school boyfriend. I also think it’s great that you interviewed previous guests on your show. That’s pretty awesome! My son has criticized me for being vain and insecure, to which I answer, “It’s a free country. I can be as vain and insecure as I want!” Seriously though, one conscious change I made that changed my life was to shift my focus from the perspective of being outside myself looking at me to being inside myself looking out. Life was so much richer that way. I became aware of the beauty all around me and inside those around me. And this is coming from a girl who spends way too much time looking in the mirror! You are beautiful inside and out!
I’m under the weather so I started off saying, I only wanna see Gabi :) Thx to u + Amy tho… this video is ‘repeat-watch worthy’ 💕. It makes even the sickest person feel better. Thank u so much for such an interesting, well put-together video, front to end. Ur vulnerability is humbling. I am so happy that I found u 💛 U r so special 💝
You're the best Valerie! Thank you for watching and leaving such a sweet comment. I am so sorry that you are not feeling well today! Go get yourself some tea (or better yet, get someone to get it for you), go lay down in your bed and binge watch something fun. I am honoured you spent some time here with me today. Sending all the healthy vibes your way!
Gabi, just want to tell you that You are beautiful. Not only on the outside, but inside too. Thank you for making this video with your friend, it was quite entertaining. xx
Thank you both for collaborating to make this video 😊 I’m sure we all have had these thoughts and feelings. I hope that everyone watching this video finds it as uplifting as I do! ☮️💖🙏
I hope that young boy, who did that to you sees you now. He's the one who missed out, and actually helped you in the long run. This was a great video and brought back memories of my own. Thanks Gabi. I loved this video. Going to watch Amy.
Thank you Donna. At the moment, it crushed me because I was just a child but now I am thankful for that experience because it showed me of the important of making people feel LARGE and NEVER small. My goal in life has always been to make people feel valuable and important. It was a life lesson I learned early and I am very thankful for it now.
Thank you for sharing . Wow. Truly loved everything about this video..what was said ..the way it was edited..how beautiful the design card with the points on it were ( sorry don’t know official name) everything was enjoyable . Yes to all points especially smiling . I can’t believe no one told Linda how beautiful her eyes are…I know she said it was years ago the children said it but even now her eyes are beautifully mesmerising . Thank you both for video 👍🏻🇬🇧💛🤍
Fantastic, common-sense advice for daily living! Thank you for this beautiful reminder!! I loved ALL of these beauty secrets!!! All tips were great! My faves: smiling, listening, reciprocity, vulnerability and laughter!!
You're right. That IS BEAUTY. Everything on the outside is superficial and it all goes away eventually. If you're beautiful on the inside (and you help other people to feel beautiful too), nothing else even matters.
And the funny thing, we immediately think it's us, not pretty enough, not slim enough, etc.. but probably it was he didn't want to be ribbed for holding hands... His own insecurities!!! But whatever, you certainly did a great job learning about skincare and make-up, because you're gorgeous ❤
Hi Gabi, I am a 61 years old lady from LA. I found you here about 2 months ago, and LOVE you and your videos. I think you are gorgeous!! So elegant and pretty lady. This video is one of the best ! You are on point with ALL the points you mentioned. Btw… I Love your style so much ❤ Can you please write down what you are wearing today, including the earrings? They are beautiful . Thank you, and have a wonderful day ❤
Hey Edena! Thank you for your comment and kind words! My dress is by Michael Kors, my blazer is by Marciano and my Earrings are from Aldo. All these pieces are a little older so I'm not sure if you can find them in the stores now but if you take a screen shot of the outfit, you can look for similar style pieces.
May I ask you please; When you put together a dress and a blazer (which I think is a very elegant look ) what is the prettier look? When the blazer is longer than the dress? Shorter? The same length? Thank you.
Love this video! By the way I started watching your videos because we have the same hair type and because I found you incredibly beautiful physically. But I am still following you because of your sweet, kind, supportive and lovely personality. Finally real beauty comes from inside.
It's impossible to not smile at someone when they smile at you. It brightens up an entire room. It is such a powerful signal of kindness and trustworthiness. Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment :)
You beautifully put into words what i feel about beauty at the back of my mind every time i go shopping for beauty products. I feel calling them beauty products isnt as accurate for me, it more accurate to say selfcare products, or playful products etc since thats how they fit in my mind when i use them.
Not. 😂😂😂😂 how long has it been since you went to school. Guys let everyone know who they like. They pursue what they like as well. Even a shy guy will go after the girl he wants.
Great timing. I have a reoccurring problem with trying to tell people about my ideas but they are NEVER interested. I have adhd so hyperfocus on niche areas so its hardly surprising but I’m a slow learner. But it hurts everytime. I went to a group meeting and started talking to a person who is known for being intelligent in the hope she would actually get what I was saying. It didn’t take long before her eyes glazed over and she pompously asked if I’d read ‘such & such’ book (by some expert) on the topic. There was no validation of my idea or interest in it. I asked if she’d read the book. ‘Oh yes’ she exclaimed as though she’d read it several times. She clearly was used to being the one telling people her thoughts and not the other way around. I have to say I really dislike her now!
This is such a powerful video - thank you for allowing yourself to be so vulnerable to help other girls. My heart breaks for you for that moment that impacted you so much. But the final realization, that “being beautiful to people has very little to do with how you look, but everything to do with how you make people feel” is such a valuable lesson. Thank you for sharing this ❤
Amy is a SUPER TALENTED video editor. It was honestly the biggest honour doing this project with her. I am a huge fan of her channel. You should check out this video she did: ua-cam.com/video/2NvgNHo7CzI/v-deo.html This is the video where I discovered her and I was BLOWN away by the editing and storytelling.
Yet another great video. How fun to coordinate with Amy. She is great. I am reading several of your comments and they are so good, so I agree with them like Valarie and Endena. Well done Gabi and Amy.
Isn't it? It makes you feel so warm when someone you don't know smiles at you. I try to purposefully do it now because I know how much of an impact it can have on someone.
Amy recommended this channel and video... some good info as these tips are pretty universal for guys too. Well Done. BTW need a tutorial on how to do the makeup Amy is sporting at then of her video!
There’s plenty of grown men out here walking around afraid for anybody to see them being affectionate to a woman. NOT SURE WHAT THATS ABOUT. Loved this video. Especially the ladies at the end. I’d love to see a big giant long video of just women talking about stuff like this.
Thank you so much for sharing! Your messages are always inspirational! I love the message for today! We need to teach our young people how to be beautiful in and out! Thank you!
I loved tip #1. I used to work with this young lady in her 20"s and she was my favorite person to work with out of 10 other woman . I always tried to pin point why. She was so much younger than me. One day I finally figured it out, she always brought the conversion back to me and my interests or problems. That made me feel so comfortable and good around her, she was the only one I looked forward to working with and I missed her terribly was she quit the job. I have never really met anyone like her since. And that was 10 years ago.
I always wonder how some people are naturally good at making others feel comfortable. Some people may wish to learn about others but not have the social skills to have a good conversation. Parents that teach their kids good social skills guarantee them a happy life.
I Love you and your videos and I think you are absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for your videos they help me soooooo much. The story about when you were young and the boy let go of your hand I felt that to my core. So many guys who wouldn't look twice at me in middle school and high school have tried to inbox me on social media crazy and they certainly don't look like they used to. I always look forward to your videos.
When I was young I never had a close friend, I've always been rather tolerated than wanted and only at the outer edge of a friend group. The center of attention were always on the most pretty and outgoing people, which made me always feel very bad about myself. At one point I realised, that I only feel that bad, because of the perfect-ness of those alpha people. They (maybe unwillingly) made me feel that way. Which lead me to promise myself that I don't want to be like that. I'll rather always be the awkward, less attractive, kind person, that nobody can feel inferior with. I'll rather lift people up and make them feel good about themselves, and if that means I need to have obvious flaws, then I'm okay with it. I still kinda think of myself as an annoying person, unworthy of any friends, which makes it very hard to build connections. It's been too many humiliations, too many people who didn't want me. These things stay with you for a long time.
When I was a young adult, nerdy, skinny etc. Another young woman who was into hair, fashion etc said to me, "I am pretty but I will never be beautiful like you".
Something odd happened to me a while back, I used to wear lots of makeup every day and dye my hair an unnatural colors when I was younger, I never felt attractive I'm older now and hardly ever wear makeup and hair is a natural color and I feel more attractive it's totally weird.🤔
I was also that severely awkward kid in school...I was very academic, however, I was soooo socially awkward. I never thought that I was attractive. Now, at the age of 63, I realize I wasn't as unattractive as I thought. Such is life. 😊
I don't necessarily agree with the part at 7:03. I've forced myself to smile on the mirror before while feeling sad, and it just made me cry harder 🤷🏽♀️.
I love Gabi but I too can’t force myself to smile when I have been so sad for so long . I’ve tried to smile too because I’ve heard this advice before but I just end up feeling worse. But Gabi means well so I am not upset at her In the least.
Glad you enjoyed it! I need the T-Shirt too! It's funny because creators are almost always introverted because we are alone all day creating content so whenever I have to go to an influencer event or meet up, I truly feel like I need an AWKWARD shirt. I feel significantly more comfortable in my studio alone talking to 200k people who I don't see HAHAHA

Your post made me smile 😊 thank you
I smiled at this, even though I don't know what an RBF is.
What a thoughtful and inspiring video. Beauty is not just what you see on the outside, but is showing compassion, empathy, and goodness.
LOVE this!
Another way to feel beautiful:
Watch a video that includes yourself interacting positively with others that you love. Seeing yourself smiling, laughing, and lighting up with loved ones is like a mirror into our own souls 💜

This happens to me so often and it is really damaging. 😢 I loved the addition of Amy in this video! This is the first time I’m seeing her and I can’t wait to watch her video next!!! ❤❤❤❤
Isn't it such an important reminder for all of us? All you have to do to make someone feel important is listen to them. Make eye contact, listen and ask questions. So many people don't do this anymore and it truly is the way to build a connection with someone.
I think one of the biggest reasons for this is that SO much of our interactions with each other are NOT FACE TO FACE anymore but rather through social media! I’ve always been a good listener mostly because I genuinely dislike talking about myself and find other people far more interesting, so I take the first opportunity to turn the conversation back to them. I’ve met interesting people and learned a lot of things being this way, but it can have the Downside of sometimes making it harder for people to really get to know me well. BALANCE is the key like it is in most all relationships I think.
Gabi, you always touch that sensitive string in me when you approach this topic. :) Just like you, I wasn't (considered) beautiful as a child or teenager. Everyone around me was mocking me, I was bullied, called all sort of names and even beaten in school because I wasn't cute enough. The bullies were related to the teachers, so nobody took action to stop that. During university, my life has changed. I met my first boyfriend. He was handsome and cool and made me feel very special. Later on I met my current husband who's done a lot to help me gain some of that confidence back. But somehow, I'm still struggling. Those years still haunt me. I'm almost 40 and still cannot shake the feeling of inferiority, and lack of confidence and lack self esteem rooted in those years. I look back at my life and it's such a pity! I feel I could've achieved so much more if It weren't for that negative experience. I wish no one else in the world would have to go through something similar, especially in those fragile young years. Your advice is amazing and I hope it will help a lot of beautiful souls out there! You two ladies, did a great job with this video! :)
At least you haven't let it hold you back, well done 👍
Sadly though I think she’s indicating that it has in fact held her back from achieving her full potential. It’s almost impossible but to let the hurtful actions and WORDS of others impact us negatively, and the damaging results can last a lifetime.
Wow, that’s profound. I don’t want to make this about me but I identify with this. Sometimes it helps knowing you’re not alone. I’m also working on getting over some things that happened long ago. I’m even older than you and the reflection back on your own life and how you’ve let’s others impact your path is frustrating when you know you’re made for more, to say the least. I hope you continue to work through this and know you are valued. I’m cheering you on. I can tell a lot about you by your kindness and introspection.
I know I am not pleasant to look at but I have done a lot for my own life.
@@di3486 Oh my Goodness PLEASE don’t say that about yourself!! What makes us pleasing to look at TRULY isn’t some arbitrary ideal of perfection of Face or Form, it’s the Warmth, Kindness and Intelligence that shine in a person’s Eyes and Smile!! The things you mentioned that you’ve accomplished in your life are what make you Who you are and worth more than any mere empty physical beauty can ever be!! I believe this wholeheartedly and I hope you do too! ❤️
Everyone looks and feels better with a smile on their face! Yes, some days are harder than others. Gabby, my heart sank with you on the story of how the Cute Boy dropped your hand. We truly never know the effect we have on others. Hope you all have a gorgeous day!
Yes, I will never forget that feeling. He was embarrassed to hold my hand. I am glad that happened though because it allows me to be more compassionate and sensitive towards how I make people feel. I never ever want to be the reason that someone feels small. Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment Debbie.
@@GlamGirlGabithis is such a delicate and brilliant thinking. So generous for others. ❤
A smile can make THE biggest difference - not only in how I, personally, feel but in other people, too. When you just know someone wants to give you a piece of their mind, smile at them and it almost disarms them! I agree with all of these tips but a smile can make such a huge difference!!
I can relate to your experience. I liked the tip about how you make people feel. It's a good reminder that there is more to beauty than our physical appearance. Thank you!
Much much much more. Our physical appearance is just the vessel that carries us around. There is so much more to a woman than the way their hair or makeup looks (and this is coming from someone who dedicates her entire life to this industry). When it's all gone, what really matters is how you look on the inside and that's harder to fix if it's flawed.
@@GlamGirlGabi So true xo
I loved this video and Amy!. The 2 things i think that struck me the most was listening and making the other person feel special. That is so true, our words are suppose to lift people up not tear them down.
My favorite part of this video was that you chose to focus on beautiful acts that we can choose to do, rather than on physical beauty. Your videos teach us how to be the best version of ourselves through skin care and makeup, but all that without beautiful actions. can be very unattractive. Great video ❤.
Yes yes but she still got a nose job and lip fillers … the hypocrisy
I love the comment about her kids telling her how beautiful her eyes were, great kids, great mom.
I remember that moment for me was in 7th grade! I’m 34 and I still remember how it felt.
That feeling never leaves you. It is my goal in life to never ever make anyone feel that way.
Incredible and thoughtful video. You and Amy have shared each tip fabulously. Due to facial paralysis my smile muscles stopped working 20;years ago, and when I try to smile, people say I look rude and wicked. For years it hurt me. Now I use my strength of high energy, listening skills and being curious and that helps me ❤❤❤
Aw, this was great - funny but also thought provoking. I'd definitely say listening is my number one. I can't count how many times I've been talking to someone and they started looking at their phone. So rude and thoughtless! I know how much it means to have someone show interest and really pay attention to me, so I work every day to extend that to other people.
Gratitude, an attitude of gratitude, keeps you from going into a deep state of depression. I'm grateful for my health and freedom
Wow Gabi… u were always beautiful. It just took time for u to see that the boyfriend wasn’t.
What a beautiful video 💖
I don't know why this comment made my eyes water but MAN what a perfect way to put it. It took time for me to see a lot of things actually. The thing that took me the longest time to see was that beauty isn't even remotely about makeup and hair at all. It is about making other people feel important.
🥹😘
I really enjoyed watching your video. What prompted me to search this was a hangout with my friend whom I haven't seen in a while. I absolutely adore her and I think she's gorgeous. I was feeling insecure about how I look and attributed that to feelings of unworthiness and unattractiveness. Sometimes it's also related to your friend group and not just your lovers. Watching your video reminded of the main reasons I like my friend. She's kind, attentive to what you say and funny! Yes, she's pretty too, but I really enjoy her personality. It reminded me to focus on that and not my weight gain. Thank you!!!!
YES!!!! I’m so happy to hear that this video resonated with you! Being beautiful to other people is so much about who you are on the inside and little to do with how you actually look on the outside. Beauty is warmth. Attentiveness. Kindness. Care. Focus on what matters most and enjoy your life as much as you can 💕 Thanks for leaving such a thoughtful comment. I appreciate you.
Thank you for sharing your story. My heart just broke for you when your that boy dropped your hand. I think most of us have had a moment like that at some point in our lives.
This is from another video you made, but I also love your story about how you wore your wig all the time when you were dating your husband because you were afraid he wouldn’t find you attractive anymore if he knew that wasn’t your natural hair, only to discover that he knew all along and still loved you the same. This story is like part 2 to the story about the high school boyfriend.
I also think it’s great that you interviewed previous guests on your show. That’s pretty awesome!
My son has criticized me for being vain and insecure, to which I answer, “It’s a free country. I can be as vain and insecure as I want!” Seriously though, one conscious change I made that changed my life was to shift my focus from the perspective of being outside myself looking at me to being inside myself looking out. Life was so much richer that way. I became aware of the beauty all around me and inside those around me. And this is coming from a girl who spends way too much time looking in the mirror! You are beautiful inside and out!
This is THE BEST video and advice I’ve ever seen. Thank you.
Wow, thank you! I’m so happy that this resonated with you!
I’m under the weather so I started off saying, I only wanna see Gabi :) Thx to u + Amy tho… this video is ‘repeat-watch worthy’ 💕. It makes even the sickest person feel better. Thank u so much for such an interesting, well put-together video, front to end. Ur vulnerability is humbling. I am so happy that I found u 💛
U r so special 💝
You're the best Valerie! Thank you for watching and leaving such a sweet comment. I am so sorry that you are not feeling well today! Go get yourself some tea (or better yet, get someone to get it for you), go lay down in your bed and binge watch something fun. I am honoured you spent some time here with me today. Sending all the healthy vibes your way!
🤗❤️🩹
Gabi, just want to tell you that You are beautiful. Not only on the outside, but inside too. Thank you for making this video with your friend, it was quite entertaining. xx
Wait, what? Gabi this was so great! You kill it girl!
Aaaaw I am so glad that you loved this one!!!
Thank you both for collaborating to make this video 😊 I’m sure we all have had these thoughts and feelings. I hope that everyone watching this video finds it as uplifting as I do!
☮️💖🙏
I hope that young boy, who did that to you sees you now. He's the one who missed out, and actually helped you in the long run. This was a great video and brought back memories of my own. Thanks Gabi. I loved this video. Going to watch Amy.
Thank you Donna. At the moment, it crushed me because I was just a child but now I am thankful for that experience because it showed me of the important of making people feel LARGE and NEVER small. My goal in life has always been to make people feel valuable and important. It was a life lesson I learned early and I am very thankful for it now.
Thank you for sharing . Wow. Truly loved everything about this video..what was said ..the way it was edited..how beautiful the design card with the points on it were ( sorry don’t know official name) everything was enjoyable . Yes to all points especially smiling .
I can’t believe no one told Linda how beautiful her eyes are…I know she said it was years ago the children said it but even now her eyes are beautifully mesmerising .
Thank you both for video 👍🏻🇬🇧💛🤍
@GlamGirlGabi // and you always do just that Gabi. You make all of us feel large and never judged. It's truly appreciated. ❤️❤️❤️
Fantastic, common-sense advice for daily living! Thank you for this beautiful reminder!! I loved ALL of these beauty secrets!!! All tips were great! My faves: smiling, listening, reciprocity, vulnerability and laughter!!
*What you described is the most important type of beauty of all!!* It’s what matters in the end. Beautiful message, Gabi!! 🌸🌷
You're right. That IS BEAUTY. Everything on the outside is superficial and it all goes away eventually. If you're beautiful on the inside (and you help other people to feel beautiful too), nothing else even matters.
@@GlamGirlGabi
Amen, Gabi!! Thank you for the beautiful & positive messages you put out to help women have a healthier outlook-it’s so important!! 💖💖
And the funny thing, we immediately think it's us, not pretty enough, not slim enough, etc.. but probably it was he didn't want to be ribbed for holding hands... His own insecurities!!! But whatever, you certainly did a great job learning about skincare and make-up, because you're gorgeous ❤
Hi Gabi, I am a 61 years old lady from LA.
I found you here about 2 months ago, and LOVE you and your videos.
I think you are gorgeous!!
So elegant and pretty lady. This video is one of the best ! You are on point with ALL the points you mentioned.
Btw… I Love your style so much ❤
Can you please write down what you are wearing today, including the earrings? They are beautiful .
Thank you, and have a wonderful day ❤
Hey Edena! Thank you for your comment and kind words! My dress is by Michael Kors, my blazer is by Marciano and my Earrings are from Aldo. All these pieces are a little older so I'm not sure if you can find them in the stores now but if you take a screen shot of the outfit, you can look for similar style pieces.
Thank you so much ❤
May I ask you please;
When you put together a dress and a blazer (which I think is a very elegant look ) what is the prettier look? When the blazer is longer than the dress? Shorter? The same length?
Thank you.
Love this video! By the way I started watching your videos because we have the same hair type and because I found you incredibly beautiful physically. But I am still following you because of your sweet, kind, supportive and lovely personality. Finally real beauty comes from inside.
Smiling has such great benefits and people will smile back making life more beautiful!! Great video!!!! You both are so, so beautiful!!!
It's impossible to not smile at someone when they smile at you. It brightens up an entire room. It is such a powerful signal of kindness and trustworthiness. Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment :)
I guess I’m a forever kid at heart because butterflies will always be magical to me 😍😊 Thank you for sharing 🌹
You beautifully put into words what i feel about beauty at the back of my mind every time i go shopping for beauty products. I feel calling them beauty products isnt as accurate for me, it more accurate to say selfcare products, or playful products etc since thats how they fit in my mind when i use them.
Best “beauty” video on YT!! ❤
😭😭😭😭 you are so beautiful inside and out, i love how you share your life with us, thanks 🙏
Thank you so much Adriana for the kind words and spreading love 🥲 You're the best. It means a lot to me.
That hand letting go could have just been awkwardness or uncomfortable showing his friends he liked anyone. Perception is everything.❤
Not. 😂😂😂😂 how long has it been since you went to school. Guys let everyone know who they like. They pursue what they like as well. Even a shy guy will go after the girl he wants.
Great timing. I have a reoccurring problem with trying to tell people about my ideas but they are NEVER interested. I have adhd so hyperfocus on niche areas so its hardly surprising but I’m a slow learner. But it hurts everytime. I went to a group meeting and started talking to a person who is known for being intelligent in the hope she would actually get what I was saying. It didn’t take long before her eyes glazed over and she pompously asked if I’d read ‘such & such’ book (by some expert) on the topic. There was no validation of my idea or interest in it. I asked if she’d read the book. ‘Oh yes’ she exclaimed as though she’d read it several times. She clearly was used to being the one telling people her thoughts and not the other way around. I have to say I really dislike her now!
This was fun, and much needed. Thank you both!
Best video ever. Your and Amy’s tips were great. The wisdom from the other women really took it over the top and made me tear up. Thanks!
Subscriber of Awkward Anthems and I’m so happy I came to your channel. What a lovely collab! I’m smashing that subscribe.
Thank you for coming over from Amy's channel! I am honoured to have you here!
This is such a powerful video - thank you for allowing yourself to be so vulnerable to help other girls. My heart breaks for you for that moment that impacted you so much. But the final realization, that “being beautiful to people has very little to do with how you look, but everything to do with how you make people feel” is such a valuable lesson. Thank you for sharing this ❤
Thank you so much! I am so happy to hear that this video resonated with you. Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment.
Love this video. Internal beauty is what I strive for and a smile externally makes me always feel better! Amy did an amazing job! Thank you!
Amy is a SUPER TALENTED video editor. It was honestly the biggest honour doing this project with her. I am a huge fan of her channel. You should check out this video she did: ua-cam.com/video/2NvgNHo7CzI/v-deo.html
This is the video where I discovered her and I was BLOWN away by the editing and storytelling.
I am hooked!!! Love you !! Thank you for your videos.
You are so welcome! Thank you for coming and spending time with me.
What a positive, empowering video! I agree with all your tips, personally, I have used the smile tip many times.
Thanks for sharing!! I appreciate you taking the time to leave some feedback :)
You are beautiful and thank you so much for this. This is beautiful. We all are beautiful. Don't let anyone tell you any different.
What a well done video! I'm 65. Still putting effort to look my best. I too had a high-school experince.
All three ladies were beautiful
Im glad you included them.
Wow! What a powerful message! Absolutely loved the editing! ❤❤❤
I love all your videos but this is my favorite ❤❤❤
I'm so honoured that you liked this one. It is such a special video for me. It is one of my favourite videos on the entire channel.
Yet another great video. How fun to coordinate with Amy. She is great. I am reading several of your comments and they are so good, so I agree with them like Valarie and Endena. Well done Gabi and Amy.
This was heartwarming, Gabby! ❤ Thank you!
I enjoyed this soo much ,Thank you
I’m glad you liked it!
Way to go on this video!
EVERYONE looks beautiful when they smile! 🙂❤🙏🏼⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
To smile at someone is a wonderful gesture!
Isn't it? It makes you feel so warm when someone you don't know smiles at you. I try to purposefully do it now because I know how much of an impact it can have on someone.
Amy recommended this channel and video... some good info as these tips are pretty universal for guys too. Well Done. BTW need a tutorial on how to do the makeup Amy is sporting at then of her video!
"I was not beautiful".....
*literally stunning*
There’s plenty of grown men out here walking around afraid for anybody to see them being affectionate to a woman.
NOT SURE WHAT THATS ABOUT.
Loved this video. Especially the ladies at the end. I’d love to see a big giant long video of just women talking about stuff like this.
Thank you so much for sharing! Your messages are always inspirational! I love the message for today! We need to teach our young people how to be beautiful in and out! Thank you!
Absolutely!! Inner beauty is the goal ALWAYS.
I loved tip #1. I used to work with this young lady in her 20"s and she was my favorite person to work with out of 10 other woman . I always tried to pin point why. She was so much younger than me. One day I finally figured it out, she always brought the conversion back to me and my interests or problems. That made me feel so comfortable and good around her, she was the only one I looked forward to working with and I missed her terribly was she quit the job. I have never really met anyone like her since. And that was 10 years ago.
I always wonder how some people are naturally good at making others feel comfortable. Some people may wish to learn about others but not have the social skills to have a good conversation. Parents that teach their kids good social skills guarantee them a happy life.
What an amazing video. Thank you so much.
You are so welcome! I’m so happy you enjoyed it ❤️
I just love your channel ❤ thank you❣️
Yeah. People are cruel and they continue to make fun of you. Sometimes you have to move to feel better about yourself.
Love this video. It really helps me!
Glad it was helpful!
Gabi, so enjoyed this video. I needed it today😊 Thank you
I am so happy to hear that you enjoyed this one! Thank you for taking the time to comment. We had a lot of fun creating these videos together.
I absolutely LOVE the concept of this video! You are one thousand percent right about all of it. Thank you!!
I am so happy that this one resonated with you. It is a super special video and I loved creating it with Amy.
I Love you and your videos and I think you are absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for your videos they help me soooooo much. The story about when you were young and the boy let go of your hand I felt that to my core. So many guys who wouldn't look twice at me in middle school and high school have tried to inbox me on social media crazy and they certainly don't look like they used to. I always look forward to your videos.
This was amazing on all levels. Thank you. I needed this.
When I was young I never had a close friend, I've always been rather tolerated than wanted and only at the outer edge of a friend group. The center of attention were always on the most pretty and outgoing people, which made me always feel very bad about myself.
At one point I realised, that I only feel that bad, because of the perfect-ness of those alpha people. They (maybe unwillingly) made me feel that way. Which lead me to promise myself that I don't want to be like that. I'll rather always be the awkward, less attractive, kind person, that nobody can feel inferior with. I'll rather lift people up and make them feel good about themselves, and if that means I need to have obvious flaws, then I'm okay with it.
I still kinda think of myself as an annoying person, unworthy of any friends, which makes it very hard to build connections. It's been too many humiliations, too many people who didn't want me. These things stay with you for a long time.
This video was surprisingly wholesome. 💖
I honestly thought that it would be about physical beauty tips haha
I talk too much about physical beauty tips already. I needed something else to focus on that means more then that.
Wonderful video and even better message! 👏🏼
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for taking the time to leave some feedback!
You and your friend as so lovely 🌸🍄 I really enjoyed this video ❤
Want to feel beautiful ?
Don't give a rats behind about what others think. Love yourself and see your unique beauty 💕 even if no one else does.
No matter how I feel or how I am dressed if I at least have lipstick on when I leave the house I feel beautiful☺️
WOW!!! YOU are wonderful! Fantastic message, beautifully and artfully delivered! :)
Thank you! 😊 I really appreciate you saying that and taking the time to leave me with some feedback!
This is amazing! Thank you, thank you! 💛🌻
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for taking the time to leave me some feedback. It means a lot.
Really love this video! BRAVA both of you!
Such excellent points! This is a great video! Thank you! ❤❤❤
You are so welcome! ❤️
When I was a young adult, nerdy, skinny etc. Another young woman who was into hair, fashion etc said to me, "I am pretty but I will never be beautiful like you".
Something odd happened to me a while back, I used to wear lots of makeup every day and dye my hair an unnatural colors when I was younger, I never felt attractive I'm older now and hardly ever wear makeup and hair is a natural color and I feel more attractive it's totally weird.🤔
Thank you both. That was a great video that touched my heart💕
Great message in this video! You are beautiful girl! ❤❤
Thank you so much Laurie. I am so glad you liked this video. It was a special one to make.
I was also that severely awkward kid in school...I was very academic, however, I was soooo socially awkward. I never thought that I was attractive. Now, at the age of 63, I realize I wasn't as unattractive as I thought. Such is life. 😊
Love this video!! Fabulous tips!!!!😊😊😊😊
Gabi, sending you ❤️. You have a new subscriber. It’s my privilege to witness your inner and outer beauty.
Oh my goodness what a sweet message. Thank you for being here and subscribing! I am honoured to have you as apart of this community.
THIS is a beautiful video! ❤
I don't necessarily agree with the part at 7:03. I've forced myself to smile on the mirror before while feeling sad, and it just made me cry harder 🤷🏽♀️.
I love Gabi but I too can’t force myself to smile when I have been so sad for so long . I’ve tried to smile too because I’ve heard this advice before but I just end up feeling worse. But Gabi means well so I am not upset at her In the least.
Great video I agree with everything you both said.
Thanks for watching!
Absolutely Beautiful! Great job!
You're full of wisdom
Great and such a positive video!
I am glad to now know about Amy and to follow her! 💜
Love this video ❤thanks for sharing. Such positive feedback 😊
Just found you today, so glad I did❤️
I’m so happy you’re here. Welcome to our community!
Great video! Gabi, if I can only choose one it would be LISTEN!
Good choice! Listening to people when they talk to you is ESSENTIAL and a skill that many people surprisingly lack.
Love everything contained in this video!!!
I am so happy to hear that you enjoyed it! Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment. It means a lot to me.
Oh my gosh!! This is awesome!! Loved it all. As a very awkward & not exactly pretty teenager, I identified with it all. And, I need that tee shirt😃.
Glad you enjoyed it! I need the T-Shirt too! It's funny because creators are almost always introverted because we are alone all day creating content so whenever I have to go to an influencer event or meet up, I truly feel like I need an AWKWARD shirt. I feel significantly more comfortable in my studio alone talking to 200k people who I don't see HAHAHA
