happy spring days | finding myself again, doing things that make me feel good

transitioning seasons always brings me personal realizations about what has happened the past winter and the direction I'm going for the summer. this is my favorite time of the year because we feel change all around us, and change is good! so here are some happy days of spring, some slower, some more fast-paced but mostly doing things that make me feel good💗 finding myself again through being okay with being and doing me and recognizing that was growth for me and I hope that resonated with some of you also; let's get off our phones yea?

MY PODCAST:

if you wanna stalk us a lil:

I'm only a few minutes into the video but I wanted to stop by to say I 100% feel what you're saying in the beginning. I feel like my personality really is a caleidoscope of many things. I'm intellectual and silly, kind and strong willed, productive and lazy, introverted but a people person, happy and sad, rational and emotional, all these things at the same time and instead of figuring that out I sometimes feel like I search online for answers. Which is why I love and absolutely hate social media and youtube at the same time, because it gives me inspiration to be certain ways, but it also puts me under pressure to be certain ways even if they can never be 100% right. Aaahh life in the digital age.

I love your videos because it’s aesthetically pleasing but you’re also very raw and I appreciate that. What is self discovery without a little experimentation? Self expression knows no bounds so you do you whatever that may be because that’s what we as viewers come back for each time you post ❤

[yeliahng]

this is so inspiring Alia, im so proud of who you are right now

[kozlikgg]

this chaotic energy in the smoothie part is my favourite

[GroovyKnees]

And it's wild how slowly and easily it creeps in but how hard it is when we try to stop (consuming of socials and people) but not impossible!
Glad you were made aware of the reasons for your changes. Thanks for the reminder to take breaks.

I also need my smoothie thick, but not life-suckingly thick

[Tiffsaura]

I love the silly energy!! I can see you’re being authentic 🫶🏻

[sarahgardenvalley]

I actually feel the same about the "identity crises". Spending so much time on Pinterest etc does something to you haha. As you said, just be you, and it's so accurate because sometimes it feels like I am lost because I don't know who I am, lost in everyone else. So yes, you're not alone <3 love your content btw xx

[lexi]

I haven’t been able to put into words how I feel but you just did!! It is very inspiring to see you going through changes and figuring out who you really are! Especially being in your 20s it’s such a weird time

[waleskasantos]

LOVE the honesty about struggling with who you want to be, and I completely agree with you, we spend so much time seeing other people and their style that is getting harder and harder to find what is what we want. I struggle with this all the time.

[ozatanvi]

I like the vibe of the video. I love how honest you are about identity struggles. Everyone goes through it once in a while, and it's okay to like something you didn't like one year ago since you've grown as a person. As you said, everyone struggles with this nowadays because of social media exposure. I can't wait for more summer content🌻🩷

Former grocery store fruit cutter here 👋🏼😂 honestly the cups we made usually never lasts more than a day or two tops, so technically our stock was always refreshed/rotated! 🍉 But the amount of plastic containers we’d go through… ridiculous!

[valentinadevera]

I just love this girl ! So healing for some reason !

[elinchristina]

the smoothie mood was a MOOD. loved the vibe of this video!

[Sakura-zurz]

I haven't had any fun lately, 😭 so it was fun. You bring me joy!❤🙂I love the kind and generous heartwarming atmosphere that you create, your kind, easygoing, warm vibe. ❤I like the essence how you live on. I need to be true to myself and find a job I am passionate about. I want to find a way to live as who I really am.

[patsalas]

I truly believe that a person is who they are on the inside ....and that when we are young we try different looks, cuisines and habits ..I'm older, so while I'm NOT stuck in my ways, I have found what works...it's a lovely journey...love from San Pedro ca ❤❤❤❤

[genevievezavala]

The way you share what you're going through seriously is so helpful and feels very relatable for me right now. Your energy is so inspiring!! much love!! <3 <3

[giannafine]

I was off on Instagram for two months because of the identity confusion I have. I went on a solo trip, cooked more, did other hobbies and just sat with myself. Did meditations, journaled, ate well and dropped into the present as much as I could. It really helped me. I know it might be more difficult to do if its your job, but thats my best advice was to just get the hell off of instagram or tiktok or whatever makes you doom scroll for hours.

[sunnyladyua]

Please make videos that you love making! That's why we are all here! Your vibe that's all we need💮

[JMusic]

best smoothie: Frozen mango, orange, whatever milk, spinach, half banana, ice, hemp hearts. just tastes like a creamsicle, but its green!

[nikkiep]

Alia thank you for talking about the identity thing. It is definitely real. No matter where we are in our lives or who assure we are of ourselves, we or let me say, l have a tendency to compare or explore different styles and see if its a good change. I don't think its a bad thing unless you constantly trying to be a carbon copy of someone and not embrace the true you.
