a realistic week in my life in new york city (for the most part)

hello! welcome to a week in my life in nyc! i filmed monday through sunday and took you along in my week from grocery shopping, to taking class, to fashion week, a super bowl party, editing, filming and everything in between. this is a pretty realistic week in my life aside from some things that don't usually happen (fashion week, throwing a party, etc). this week was pretty youtube focused, but still a fun one!

“Sometimes it’s exhausting thinking the thoughts I think all day” hard relate girly pop! 😂

[@Allykatze]

I was literally about to type the exact thing! 😅

[@meghanadontireddy6002]

To be honest, I didn't even notice the eczema under the eyes, so I wouldn't worry too much about how it looks! Hope it does feel better though! ❤

[@jeriheggie]

Agreed. I watch on my phone and I never notice it

[@snoufoxxy]

Love your editing, love the music choices, love the crocheting project, love Bennett, love the Tiffany's bathroom, didn't love the radiator noise, love this vlog 🤩

[@christinaruiz4183]

You're THRIVING in your new environment with your roommates! I love that for you ♥️

[@erikainglasses]

Aveeno eczema cream is amazing!! I had an eczama outbreak from cerve face cream and this cream was a god send!

[@cindykyle1495]

Aveeno eczema baby lotion is even better! ❤

[@richardottley4611]

27:47 lets say it together everyone.. SUPERRRR BOWL Sunday 😄🏈🏟

[@morganunraveled]

as a crocheter and knitter, YES you need to stretch your hands, arms and shoulders 😂 I know it sounds ridiculous bc it’s not a sport but your muscles will get very tense and can get repetitive motion strains if you don’t take breaks to stretch. I do stretch and hydrate breaks every so often and definitely after a knitting session! 😌🫶🏻 and always crochet with good lighting!! haha

[@sallyrodriiguez1312]

Here in Texas we call your walking tacos (Frito pies) delicious. Great Vlog Alexis 😊

[@alexis_keith]

Yassss frito pies are the best 👏🏻

[@margieanthony]

Your first fashion show neutral outfit with a statement neutral purse was so cute!

[@carolynlandrum668]

I'm very impressed. Your room is SO neat through the whole vlog. Well, I'm writing this midway through the week, but so far. Lol.

[@raihana.onfilm]

loved the aesthetics and how this was edited 🧡

[@shane.s-747]

Oh my gosh, that salad looked sooo good!! Music is always good!! Can't tell hardly anything about your eyes on the vlogs so no worries. I love Maggie, more Maggie, more Maggie!!! Love your channel, have an awesome tomorrow!!!

[@itsthequeenfatima]

love these! I find them super calming! watching from Paris!

[@chandralealife]

Just came across your video. Fellow eczema/allergy sufferer here. My number one recommendation would be switch your makeup to an organic brand such as 100% pure, Juice Beauty, Toups, or Mineral Fusion just to name a few. Also Vaseline being petroleum based can make the eczema worse. I would also use organic based body wash/soap, face wash and lotions. Dr. Bronners Castile soap did wonders for my face as a wash. I place mine in a foam soap dispenser for easy use. As a final suggestion organic fragrance free laundry detergent will also help.

[@marccolomayt82094]

enjoying this & love the snow so much! Happy Valentine’s day, Alexis! ❤

[@karolinezz]

You doing an amazing job! I love your videos ❤❤❤

[@FionaSheridan]

I admire your editing skills so much! You always keep your vlogs so interesting and entertaining

[@DonatellaButt]

I’m so glad I found your channel! You are living my dream 😍 going to watch loads now haha xx

[@minimel_13]

about you dry skin, i feel like perhaps using a humidifier in your bedroom would help a lot? It does for me in the winter time. Especially when you'e sleeping. I see something that look s like a humidifier in your bedroom but i think you said in a previous vlog its an air purifier?

[@kate_rae_porteous]

New to your channel and been loving it! I love how relatable you are and a growing channel! You inspire me :)

[@ervinsmoviecorner8748]

Happy almost Valentine’s Day, Alexis!❤

[@tamarakinney2721]

Alexis, I love your nails - so pretty! Didn't notice anything about your eyes. Looks like you had a very fun and productive week!

[@therealhannahlee]

I’m here googling how to start crocheting. I’m inspired! 🥳 p.s. your outfits in this whole video are so cute!

[@kathleenverlin1691]

This is simply my only reason to come on to KZbin. Love your vlog !

[@Loeezee85]

Yay new video! Sending you love from Arizona.

[@barbarawatters4279]

Let Emily know we need a life update from her! :)

[@mohamedmahjop3229]

Idk why am addicted to watching your video 🤣🤣

[@richardottley4611]

it looks so grand in central park.. its good to see the sun again.. its been a long 10 days 😇🌞🌄

[@JustSheik]

You and Emily are so cute. Can’t wait to see the end crochet project!

[@storyoflex]

Loving the music choices!

[@GAMUDQUEEN]

I swear its like watching a movie❤❤

[@TravelWithBen121]

Great vlog! NYC is beautiful!

[@richardottley4611]

Hi Alexis, Hi Bennett.. Hi everyone.. Happy Sunday.. I'm catching up with some vlogs I've missed.. hope everyone is having a fun President Day Holiday Weekend 😄👋

[@earthyaly]

Found it so surprising in one of your latest videos that you didn't share about your acting/dancing career because I absolutely love hearing about it, especially when you include scenes of you dancing & singing! Here for it!

[@suelyons531]

You looked amazing in that black and blue outfit!

[@Simplylakesha]

First time hearing about walking taco! Great vlog ❤

[@JackieOstick]

I just learned about walking tacos this summer! Revolutionary!!!

[@ruthharris6783]

Good to see Emily here. She doesn’t post much on her channel. Can she say where she now works since her children’s tour is over?

[@sunshinegalkw9675]

I have the same eczema issue with my eyes… I have found petroleum jelly really helps, I dab it on before bed and in about 3 days it’s better, when it’s cold out I have the most trouble

[@jackievybez]

I love your vlogs ❤😊

[@DancingKitkat13]

Love your vlogs Alexis I just came from Chelsea’s new vlog

[@carolynoquinn4573]

Love your hoop earrings!!!

[@richardottley4611]

awwwwwesome.. welcome to da Tea Gang 😂👋 i too also am a tea drinker.. ginger turmeric one of da BEST

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Good morning Alexis happy Wednesday morning and happy valentines day to you and I enjoy your channel because you are amazing

[@simplyellenxo95]

Hi Alexis, just absolutely admire your editing skills…😊

[@Billy33753]

Happy almost Valentine’s Day

[@yvettehatrak787]

Alexia, so proud of your motivation to just get out of the house and get a workout in even when you don't want to! Again, you've never looked better. Also, I'm sure you're done gearing advice about your skin..but "issues started 3years ago" I'm thinking about 3 years of KZbin content and ALL the DIFFERENT products we've seen you put on your skin! It's a real thing. It's too much. Stick to ONE product. Give it time (like 6 months) no matter the results. Let your skin calm down and heal ❤ Apologies if this is too much unsolicited advice.

[@MC10060]

I wanted to say this again because the same thing was happening to me and it took a very long time to figure out the cause. It turned out to be makeup wipes. I can use zero makeup wipes. When I switched to just face soap, the problem went away.

[@twinmom5138]

Same

[@JustSheik]

Not the whole tripod being held in the mirror shot lol 😂❤

[@morganunraveled]

“sometimes it’s exhausting thinking the thoughts I think all day” living with anxiety I felt so seen from that bit lol

[@amyfaurote1488]

My older sister has the same problem around her eyes. She had to stop wearing eye shadow. Great NYC vlog. Peace 🕊️

[@erikaskrika]

I was just gonna say “we’re never in your bathroom anymore” 🤣 but there it is!!!

[@richardottley4611]

hahaha.. roommate with da cameo 🤣👀 14:25

[@vanessamanihera2088]

Hi from New Zealand ❤

[@bobbid9168]

That salad looks so yummy! What kind of dressing did you use?

[@cindykyle1495]

I get eye issues too and I recently found out that it’s actually an allergic reaction. Just thought I’d mention it as food for thought for you ❤

[@venusbucci4829]

I’m 57 and almost 2 years ago I developed psoriasis in my hand and foot and the older you get you start showing these issues,try putting those under eye patches I put some that are meant for hands and they are starting to work,just a suggestion!

[@jethor4561]

I get perioral dermatitis on my eyes like this too! Of course see your derm, but I've learnt Vaseline is the worst for it. Zinc-based baby butt cream actually helps a lot (i apply at night because it does make you look like a ghost).

[@carolynoquinn4573]

I'm "down" for a Margarita!!!

[@LSChestersMom]

LOVE IT! Hi Bennett :)

[@JulieNick28]

Reality is no one notices your red eyes :) Can you share a link to the blanket pattern you are using??? I'm ready to try a project I think! Loved the vlog! I liked the closer camera 😊 You looked stunning in your "street style" outfit with your hair slicked back

[@Andrea.CareToTango]

Totally can't see the rash at all! But I know what youre talking about - I get it too. Flairs up with the cold sometimes right? This is anecdotal but I found vitamin C and B vitamins help me!

[@nbig860]

I have the SAME eye issue! 😔 I know how you feel- so frustrating 😩

[@robfo6136]

Eye drops girl. Ease the stress and get rid of the dryness and redness. And when are you gonna hang the pic over your bed? You need it to add color.

[@itscarolinemary]

What dressing did you use on the bean salad? And did it live up to the hype? 😝

[@jadethejade]

hi! as a fellow actor i was hoping you could share how you find your auditions

[@KnowTech2020]

❤❤

[@carolynoquinn4573]

Love Trader Joe's and Target!!!

[@janeb2958]

You know, when I started wearing contact lenses, I had to go through three or four different brands of contact lense solution to get away from intermittent eczema around my eyes - did anything change there which might explain it? (also being tearful - whether from sad things or just being out in the cold and wind - tends to create problems for my eyes...). Good luck finding a solution!

[@dwfindingzen8870]

Alexis, what was the garbanzo bean, salami salad recipe that you made?

[@Jibril_Abdulkadir]

❤❤❤

[@rebeccacartier153]

IMO putting makeup on eczema (if it is eczema) was never helpful. I always added moisturiser like aquafor to clear it up.

[@BilingualCoco]

I wonder if it’s an Ohio/PA thing, walking tacos? I grew up in Pittsburgh and we always had those at concessions stands!

[@hangingwithjen]

the onion situation... the struggle is real. and all my garlic has been green inside when I buy it. super annoying. and one of these days, maybe DUNKIN will sponsor a video. :P

[@richardottley4611]

Yeah what is that NOISE?? 4:29 Lol 🤣👀

[@cokedclassic7627]

I had this problem and turns out it was from the eye drops I was using for my dry eyes!

[@charlgeorgia6029]

So you realize that you always wear that Minnesota State Fair sweatshirt 😊

[@judyandersen8447]

You look very pretty with darker hair.

[@itsnotimportant1358]

Not even noticeable on camera, but what I discovered when a similar thing was happening to me was my laundry detergent, and softener caused my skin to do the same thing! Are you maybe allergic to your detergents, or softeners?

[@denisehart-mosman]

I’m thinking you may have an allergy to an ingredient in your facial skincare or makeup. Maybe even your makeup sponge if it contains latex.

[@gurkov4e]

Every time I get a skin problem it turns out it’s some reaction to my diet. It might be something in the food.

[@phillipray4380]

Body climbing Bennett is the best Bennett.

[@richardottley4611]

12:04 OMG.. Hiii Emily 😅👋

[@carolynboykin-fyelifeinreview]

Alexis I love all your video but this was my all time favorite, but every day you talked about your eyes. Your eyes face is alright. Stop apologizing for them. You have a body to die for( wish I was your size) leave your eyes alone. Ok you can talk about it on the first day but then you’re good. Question do you sweeten your coffee or drink it bitter? TFS

[@anthonyesparsen7776]

Yes you will trade it will be digital silly boy 😅

[@sereneandcozy]

I always thought walking tacos were common too, but I think it might be a midwest/ohio thing? at least it being called that hahaha

[@elizabeththompson1525]

Does Emily still have her channel?

[@waggermama]

Don’t forget you’ve recently had Covid, so you may feel tired and less than motivated to exercise (can you tell I’m a mum??)

[@klouisedraws]

Yes! I got covid recently and it wiped me out for like 15 days.

[@anthonyesparsen7776]

Just like the Chinese do it today everything is barcode scanned on the smart phone

[@Denise19825]

I like your hair dark. You should go back to your natural color it compliments your skin color. Oh and this is a compliment 💕

[@anthonyesparsen7776]

No one buys and sells physical gold on the streets

[@staciaonmovies]

I believe you might have perioral dermatitis. Just a suggestion to look into for your skin problem.

[@carolynoquinn4573]

Have you made an appointment for highlights yet?

[@karlniles2249]

Hello Alexis, it's me again! Do you wear contact lenses? It may be that you are allergic to the Contact Lenses solution in the packs that keeps it moist or could it be your make-up? Anyway like your wacky friend Emily and Bennett the cat too! Keep up the great work! From London UK 🇬🇧

[@laurathomas6014]

Please don't be upset with me cuz I love your vlogs, but please make your hair one color.

[@Nadya5]

Go to a dermatologist

[@LiefSophietje]

From one crusty girl to another 😅 Maybe lay off the make-up for a few days. That can be a huge trigger

[@itscarolinemary]

My under eye bags are literally purple tinted because I’m so fair.. and idk genetics? So don’t worry about your eczema ❤ it’s really not noticeable!
