  • The Story of Carli Bybel and Her Old Friend, DJ Sam

    The Story of Carli Bybel and Her Old Friend, DJ Sam

    The rooftop

    Many many years ago, when I started watching Carli Bybel‘s videos, an interesting detail from one of her videos caught my attention. She was talking (and drawing) about a tough period in her life and one about the fact that night she was sitting on a rooftop with her friend, Sam, both unhappy and searching a way to fulfill their dreams. It was then, on the rooftop, when Carli decided to start a Youtube Channel and Sam decided to follow a career in DJing.

    The rooftop, the night, the decisions… I don’t know why I’ve always found this picture mysterious and interesting.

    Who is Sam?

    Carli mentioned Sam in her first Youtube videos and she even featured her in a video.

    They knew each other since high school, but didn’t really talk back then. They started their friendship on October 2010 and six years later, in 2016, Carli stated in one of her videos that Sam is her current best friend.

    Sam’s real name is Samantha Morales. She is from New Jersey and went to the same high school as Carli did.

    Sam in Carli’s videos

    Here is a video in which Carli creates a Selena Gomez makeup on Sam. They seem to have fun.

    This is a video from 2012. Since then, Sam has been gradually disappearing from Carli’s stories and she has been replace with Carli’s old friend, Nicole.

    On Nicole’s Instagram I’ve found this amazing picture from 2012. Three friends at the beginning of their lives, having fun, going through their ups and downs, being together, growing apart…

    What is Sam doing now?

    Sam did follow her career as a DJ, but if you search her on internet as “DJ Sam” you won’t find her because she signes herself as “DJ Sammi” or “DJ Samantha Morales”.

    You can follow her on Instagram.

    She also works a Licensed Real Estate Broker.

    Samantha lives and works in Jersey City.

    Is she still friends with Carli?

    As you can see from her Instagram, both Carli and Nicole follow her and they both still like Sammi’s photos.

    Maybe the continue to be in good terms, but I don’t think they are friends anymore.

    Conclusions

    I think it is very interesting to see how these three women (Carli, Sammi, Nicole) evolved over time. I am grateful to them because they’ve been sharing scrapes from their lives.

    I also think that their friendships could start again sometime. I think they have so much in common and that they could eventually overcome their disagreements. And even if their friendships wouldn’t be renewed, at least they did share a nice friendship and this is something that not everyone could say.

    What happened with Carli Bybel and Nicole Gandino?

    If you’re here because you were wondering about the current relation between Carli Bybel and Nicole Gandino, it means that you already know who the two are, thus I will skip the introductions.

    Sorry if I might be a little bit offtrack, but I need to go round a bit in order to understand what happened between them.

    Carli’s current videos and friends

    It’s been a long time since Carli posted a video with Nicole (Moo). She also doesn’t mention her anymore. Instead, Carli features in her videos her family (father, mother, sister, little cousin) and her boyfriend, Anthony Tango.

    She also did a work-out video with a girl that wasn’t featured before. I think she might be one of the “new” friends, but I don’t think it lasted. The girl was named “Coach Aly” and Carli said that they’ve been working-out together for a year.

    Carli also “donated” her old Youtube account to her sister, in order to give her the opportunity to become an Youtuber as well.

    So, no trace of Moo in Carli’s current videos.

    P.S. In Carli’s first Vlog, she mentioned she has a best friend, named “Sam”, who is a DJ and who basically lives with her.

    She then featured her in a video, transforming her into “Selena Gomez” but the friendship between Carli and Sam didn’t last long.

    Carli Bybel and Nicole Gandino throughout the videos

    Carli’s last video featuring Moo was posted in Nov, 29th, 2018.

    They seemed annoyed, something was off in this video and I think things weren’t going pretty neat between them at this point.

    P.S. I absolutely LOVE about Carli that she never ever deleted her old videos. I hate when youtuber’s do that. It’s like a television show that deletes some episodes and you can never ever see them again. Respect Carli for keeping stuff up.

    In an old Vlog, Carli told that she has been friends with Nicole since Middle school. She even drew a heart around C & N.

    On Instagram, the last photo Carli has posted with Moo was on April, 2019.

    What is Nicole Gandino doing now?

    Nicole has been really quiet on her social media pages.

    Seven months ago, Nicole created her Youtube page. I was really excited because I like her, but unfortunately she posted only two videos and then stopped.

    Her last Instagram photo was this:

    Could the quarrel be boyfriend related?

    No, definitely not. Or at least not in the sense that Nicole would attempt at Anthony or Carli at Nicole’s boyfriend.

    Conclusions

    Nicole Gandino isn’t the first friend that just disappeares from Carli’s life. Same happened with DJ Sam.

    1. Sometimes people grow apart and the most sane thing to do is to cut the ropes.
    2. Other times people tend to envy their friends and start to try to bring them down, and then again the easiest (maybe not the best) thing you could do is cut the ropes.
    3. And then there is this situation when success makes you crazy and friends can’t keep up with your moods.

    We can’t really know what cause the “divorce” between Carli and Nicole. Maybe these three possibilities mix together, maybe there is just one, maybe there is something else.

    I personally think that friendships should be guarded, and even if things get bad, one should make the effort to keep the relationship up. Up at this point and no more. When the relationship becomes really toxic and you really can’t do anything more about it, then there is no other option. You have to press the “stand by” button. I didn’t say “stop” button, because people can change and, unlike a romantic relationship, you can have in the same time several friends. So, if the problems resolves itself, you can win your friend back, even if it is after 10 years.

  • Carli Bybel – One of the first YouTubers I started following

    Carli Bybel – One of the first YouTubers I started following

    Who is Carli Bybel?

    Source: https://www.instagram.com/carlibel/

    Carli Bybel is a YouTuber / beauty guru that now has 6.2 millions followers on YouTube.

    She has been posting videos since 2011. She started with hair and makeup tutorials.

    She is 29 y.o. She is pretty open regarding her family and her mother, sister, father and other relatives often appear in her videos.

    She continues to this day to post makeup and hair tutorials and she also does vlogs.

    Why is Carli special?

    There are thousands and thousands YouTubers that hope to achieve popularity. But why did Carli succeed? Was it pure luck or does she really have something special?

    Well, she is kind of special, because of 3 reasons:

    1. She is sweet, funny, relaxed, humble, loves cats and has a smooth-ish voice. Of these qualities, she has the right amount of each, so that it appears good on screen.
    2. She is open. Even though she obviously keeps some things private (like any other normal person would do), Carli shares a great deal from her life. She is authentic, she doesn’t hide many stuff. For instance, I laughed when, in a video, she opened her pants so that she could eat better.

    3. She is “the girl next door”. She literally is the kind of girl that you would have for a neighbor. She is tangible, she seems to be a normal person, not a fake doll.

    4. Her filming and editing skills are good. There are many tutorials on Youtube, but not many are well filmed. Either the face/object is too close, or there is too much zoom, or the music is too loud or the talking is annoying etc. Carli’s videos are just well made and that’s that.

    The first Carli Bybel’s video that I watched

    I watched my first Carli video 6 or 7 years ago, when Megan Fox was fashionable (not saying that now she is not, but in the past Transformers and Jennifer’s Body really gave her a boost). I wanted to achieve a Megan Fox makeup look and there weren’t at that time so many tutorials on Youtube. Carli did one of those. And I liked her the most. Here is the video:

    After watching this video, I pressed the “Follow” button and here I am, 6 years later, still watching here videos.

    Who is Carli Bybel dating?

    And now let’s get to some trivialities. Who is she dating? Well, Brett Cap (he also has a YouTube Channel), her ex-boyfriend, was been in a lot of her videos, but they separated one or two years ago. He seemed a nice person, but probably they had their differences. Success always comes with new milestones to cross. The just didn’t cross this one, sadly.

    This is one of their last pictures together. It was their 4 years anniversary. It’s funny cuz behind them is written “Happy” but they don’t really seem very happy here. I think that in this time they were fighting a lot. But you can also see in this picture that they are like brothers, that they know each other and love each other.

    If you didn’t know, they were friends since childhood.

    She was 7, he was 10

    And this story of Carli and Brett reminds me of a song…

    The lyrics are like this:

    “I was five and she was six
    We rode on horses made of sticks
    I wore black and she wore white
    She would always win the fight
    Bang bang, she shot me down
    Bang bang, I hit the ground
    Bang bang, that awful sound
    Bang bang, my baby shot me down”

    Ninja cutting onions…

    Anyhow, now she is dating a new guy. She has been kind of secretive about this guy, which is understandable. I don’t know much about him, because he didn’t play an important part in her videos as Brett did.

    I know all Carli Bybel’s fans community secretly hopes she and Brett will be together again, marry, have children and live happily ever after. Who knows, maybe there is still hope that they will forgive each other and go past their differences.

    Who is Carli Bybel’s BFF?

    Another important part in her videos has been played by her best friend, Moo.

    Moo has been a faithful friend since always. She seems very nice and what I like most about her is that she doesn’t look with envy to Carli, that she is supportive and genuinely gentle.

    Here they did a Boyfriend VS Best Friend Q&A. It was very funny.

    Moo’s real name is Nicole Gadino.

    She has been offering mobile tanning services.

    Now she finally decided to start her own YouTube Channel. Until now she posted only two videos, but I hope she will post more.

    Whishes for the future

    Well, I wish that Carli will be happy and both Nicole and Brett will have also success with their YouTube Channels.

    I hope that despite money and success, Carli will stick to the right path and continue to provide us with quality content.

    P.S. How do we pronounce “Bybel”? Like the “Bible” or like “Biber”?

  • WHO is Carli Bybel’s friend Moo?

    WHO is Carli Bybel’s friend Moo?

    In a past post I wrote that one of my favorite youtubers is Carli Bybel. If you’ve also been watching Bybel’s videos, you would already know about her best friend, Moo. She is very pretty and has a nice, warm smile. This is Moo:

    Moo appeared in some of Carli’s videos and everyone loved her.

    Here is a Boyfriend VS Best Friend tag.

    UPDATE: It seems that this video is unavailable. Maybe Carli deleted it. It was a funny video, I don’t know why Carli decided to delete it. Probably it brought back bad memories…

    And here is a vlog where they went together in Jamaica:

    Despite her success in Carli’s videos, we don’t know much about her. There is no link to her Facebook or Instagram and she doesn’t seem to have an Youtube Channel of her own. So, who is Moo?

    Well, I did some research and Moo’s name is Nicole Gandino. She has a tanning business. Although she doesn’t have an Youtube Channel, she does use Facebook and Instagram. It is a pity that she isn’t more social media active… I bet she would have a lot of followers.

    Maybe in the future, Nicole will decide to get her own Youtube Channel, or at least she will appear more often in Carli’s.

    UPDATE 1

    Today, 19 December 2019, Nicole Gandino decided to launch her own youtube channel. I am so happy for her. 

    UPDATE 2

    P.S. Nicole Gandino’s birthday is on 12th March.
