friendsmas, opening presents, what i got for christmas & prepping for 2025! | vlogmas week four 🎄✨

[@Brittney.yvonne]

Oh nah, your content will never be background noise baby, I watch the WHOLE thing every time lol

[@ariyelniicole]

SAME!!

[@ThyraWilliams]

Right? From beginning to end!!

[@jennifertaylor-wright7694]

Religiously

[@Alexandra_Mercedes]

@@Brittney.yvonne that part!

[@ytinuyme]

No seriously

[@nhylaferguson9986]

i never realized you put the music in the background, i think that’s why your videos give a sense of comfort!! ngl you’re the only vlogger that keeps me really engaged. your production is amazing!!! seeing it evolve from when i first started watching you 6 years ago!

[@Alexandra_Mercedes]

I’ve been watching you since 8th grade… I’m about to be a junior in college 🥹!! Being the oldest child/sister, having an older sister is always something I dreamed of having & your channel truly help feed that dream of mine. Being a first generation Latina majoring in Marketing/Business Admin with a minor in accounting at a PWI, there is no true representation of women in this field, especially black and brown!! Due to this, I want to start documenting this & sharing raw experiences, feelings, and giving advice I wish I had to those younger than me. I want to call this series “college diaries” where it would be a mix of everyday life vlogs, sit down videos that would go more deep into my experience per semester, how I take care of my mental when the semester/life gets rough, etc. Thank you so much Aliyah for truly inspiring me & being my virtual big sister I never had. I loved seeing you grow as well as your channel over the years and can’t wait to see what else is in store for you! Happy New years 🥂✨!! I follow your spam with my spam (allthings._alexandra) and I follow your main with my main (mercedes._alexandra) Good luck to everyone entering🩷!!

[@reinakorn333]

yes girl your cinematography is too good, the way that you edit is how we can tell you take TIME and LOVE on your videos and we appreciate that so much

[@BuzzworthyFinds]

Wow, your Christmas gifting game is on point! The AirPods Max for the white elephant is such a generous surprise, and I love how thoughtful you were with your friends. It's so nice to see you giving back to those who have supported you. Happy holidays! 🎁✨

[@keniyahalexander5418]

can’t believe it’s the last week😭! I plan to document my post grad life, having something to look forward doing and something to look back on is what i’m looking forward in 2025!

[@ambermackenzie]

hiii aliyah! first of all, thank you SO MUCH for buying the camera for one of us. that’s so thoughtful of you and I know whoever wins the giveaway is very deserving and I hope they loveee it! if I were to win the giveaway, I would document my daily life as a 20 year old girl figuring this life thing out. I’ve always lovedddd creating content ever since I was little and my passion for it has only grown over time. I also love to yap and share my experiences and give advice so I think this would be an amazing opportunity for me, especially since I was planning to buy a camera for myself this upcoming year! xx

[@maiyalatrice]

yess i love a long video with a good balance of chatting and cinematic edits! i’m working on that with my content now especially with different angles. You and a few others are my content inspo.

[@kenayayana]

ommggg aliyahhh that dji would definitely give me that push to take content seriously. i’ve always been shy to vlog but i’ve always been told that i would make good content. i love to travel, grwm, makeup/fashion, entrepreneurship bts because i lash & wax & other things. even if i don’t win this has been one the best giveaways you’ve ever done! very proud of watching how far you’ve come with your own content 🫶🏽

[@lanna68]

I was just crying on the floor gasping for air..this video was all that could lift my spirits LMFAO 😭😭 NEVER DOUBT YOUR SUBSCRIBERS

[@aliyahsimone]

I COULD NEVER DOUBT YALL

[@lashiranicole]

girl i agree! i feel more fulfilled watching the 20-30 minute videos because the production and editing is much better

[@jailakeith1114]

we love you aliyah 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽 personally i find your videos very entertaining and inspiring ! 1 because you’re always switching something up whether it’s your film equipment or the intro so i can always kinda expect a twist of some sort which keeps it engaging . you create works of art with your videos and i will always be here for it ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@_Briannakatrice]

Side note I LOVE long videos, they’re so comforting and I just like listening to people talk and their insights on things. I put on your vlogmas videos when I’m getting ready to wind down for the the night. I think something that gets me pretty engage is the editing and the different camera angles that you do because it gives me ideas on how I would want something to look like. You actually talk abt stuff that interesting so it keeps me attentive while I’m watching the video even if I’m doing work while listening. In my eyes long form content is really where you can see if the creator is good at what they’re doing and that’s why I love it. If I can sit through and hour chef and not click off simply bc of the fact that it keeps me enhance it shows that they’re good and it and they have passion for it. Your content is really good and I think it shows a good reflection of all the hard work you put into it!!

[@roniquerod]

the quality of your video will not change no matter the length and that’s what i respect about you and your channel!❤

[@mrsmae]

the way i’ve been tuned in every week, your hard work is so inspiring have a happy new year ❤️

[@ciarramorris]

i loove the long videos, i generally watch your content and sometimes i do get distracted from “watching” but im listening to every word u say girl because i genuinely care 🤍 from all ur short form content on tiktok, ur spam, ur youtube shorts and insta reels/stories, we are FED. i hope u never doubt yourself 🩷 happy new year 🥳

[@gigibeal]

that taking new habits 1 month (or however many months at a time) is literally so real. idk if it's bc of the way my brain's set up or what, but it's so hard to change everything at once, even if i have all the motivation in the world, for prolonged periods or short spurts, i find it hard to actually incorporate it into my routine/life. i definitely need to start taking it one month at a time fr cuz i think that would work way better than smthn like the 75 challenge 😭😭 i'm so glad (? if that makes sense) u left the footage of u talking abt switching to shorter videos, and how you're basically trying to work back to being more open abt ur job tbh. like it genuinely feels like picking apart ur brain and explaining what goes on. even tho the long videos will b missed, i would much rather watch smthn that you wholeheartedly loved and put your all into with editing, instead of just focusing on the length, or dragging scenes out!! OH MY GOD THE SEAFOOD BOILLLL i wish they still served them where i was during the winter lawd, our one place where i live shuts down for winter 😭😭 (also the editing for christmas morning is sooooo good. i love it. exquisite!)

[@lifeasamber1854]

South Africa wake up...our mother posted❤

[@Kmaseko]

I’m hereeeeeeeee🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@meganhope212]

i definetly agree about the long videos of other creators, but that is why I enjoy your videos because i can tell you take time to edit the videos!

[@iamdash2810]

I actually look forward to your long videos because I actually watch the whole video, it will never be background noise because you're actually entertaining and your editing is very unique!

[@staceycharles2913]

I could never put your videos on as background noise. I am always tuned innnn I could never miss a second of your videos!

[@amaiyalake]

i literally loveee the animated intro every time i see it

[@daniyah5298]

I plan on documenting improvement in my life and trials and error. I wanna be able to look back and laugh and see how far I’ve come. Also just seeing like prayers come true and like look back and be like I really used to pray for this 😂 (the life that I live then). And also I want my future kids one day to be able to look at how I was living life and what I was doing. I wish my parents had did that.

[@earth2imaya]

You're literally never background noise. I set aside time/ attention for these films lol. The consistency you bring in quality and frequency is why! ❤️

[@luvfromzoey]

i plan on documenting my last couple of years of schooling and documenting my life alone as i grow more and seperate from my family to become more independant and i would really use it to help me store those memories and keep a record of them to look back onto as i grow more.

[@kaydenwashington1979]

omg watching on my tv and you're SO crisp like the quality is crazy good

[@madisonamber]

i plan on documenting my uni journey in 2025. i started first year in september and it was sooooo hard but i’ve decided it’s up to me to make it better next semester and i think vlogging would help with that!

[@stayhappykenni]

i plan to vlog my daily life in the new year, you’ve inspired me to start my channel this year. i’ll simply document my life and anything i feel like sharing :)

[@ThyraWilliams]

Liyah girl i watch your videos like I'm tuning into one of my series. If i miss any then i go back and catch back up. Girl you don't even know it but your videos are so relaxing and entertaining and I've bin watching you for YEARS and I haven't gotten bored since. Just continue to grow ans do what feels right to you❤❤

[@nicollerodriguezz]

I have watched all the videos as well as being active w your finsta, I loved every second of it

[@bolababyxx]

i cannot believe vlogmas is over but i am proud you finished 🎉🤍

[@chinasdoll444]

i don’t even want to enter the giveaway, but your soul POURS through your content. im sat every f****ing week. don’t ever doubt yourself babygirl!

[@authenticallymonet]

I am also a chronic planner. I crave stability, I go crazy when things don’t go my way and feel anxious when I don’t know what’s going on. But lately, I have found more peace in just going with the flow. It’s weird and I don’t know where it came from. Like I graduated a year ago, and now I’m working full time. I had plans for grad school and such, but now I really don’t know what I have planned. I know what I want I guess, but not even sure if I really want it so I don’t know how to plan for it.

[@lifeofyaz05]

this is soooo cinematic omg i live for your vlogs

[@toyosishabi]

I do agree that some long videos are tiring, but I love yours because of the editing and how entertaining it is throughout. I watch your videos whenever I’m cooking, doing my makeup or just chilling

[@It_yoGurlIrie1]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Aliyahhhh & Cashew❤❤!!!!

[@espnbreezy]

8:30 i JUST KNOW YOU BE CRACKING UP WHILE EDITING. YOU ARE SO FUNNY WITHOUT EVEN TRYING GOODBYE

[@jaliyahh]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Aliyah! I can wait to see what the new year has in store for you! ❤❤🎉🎉

[@jessw.6250]

You definitely ate!

[@tyla478]

Happy New Year to you & yours

[@jayliciaquinnae]

21:20 I use contacts cart or 1800contacts. It’s about 170 for a 6month supply but they are monthly contacts not daily. I do sleep in them like 2 days max and I do have glasses as well when I don’t feel like putting in contacts

[@estherngulu]

though i don't drink, the liquor stores in my town close on sundays. the liquor in grocery stores are literally either chained up with a padlock or have a sign, "NO LIQUOR SOLD ON SUNDAYS" no one: no one at all: not even cashew: aliyah: *gives a budget of $25 for white elephant gifts* also aliyah: *buys an airpod max😃* all of aliyah's friends reflect who she is as a person and i'm HERE for it. the shade? "iS tHaT oN cAmErA?!" 😭😭😭 that 15min+ yap session in the bathroom, i GOBBLED it up "forget me being funny. tell me i'm talented" YUHHHHH we love an editor mention

[@MimiiOphelia]

LOVE your content! I plan to document my journey with self discovery since I’ve dropped out of college and finally made the decision to put me first

[@jayliciaquinnae]

YASSSSS literally watching while im working outtt 😘🩵

[@taylormprichard]

aliyah i'm crying!!!!!! i got that croissant mug for my white elephant at work i'm screaming fr

[@doodlebob_xd4320]

Honestly I’m a person that uses longer videos as back ground noise and just cue in and out but I’m being so honest when I say I actually watch your longer videos which is SUCH a shock to me but I doooo I think you set up such a natural and enjoyable environment that makes a person actually watch a longer video and they feel so well done and cared for I love it🤭 i think you should make videos however you want because it’s your craft but if your worry is how other are perceiving it, ALL of it is perfect to me 🙂‍↕️

[@justicedechelle]

i love your videos so much i feel you deserve so much more recognition the cinematography is eating the girls up so bad omggg. and tbh a diji would upgrade my content so bad but it sounds too good to be true 😭 love your content tho girly keep it up!

[@yaniswrld]

such a comfy vlog🎄⭐❤

[@kendrawhite9322]

49:31 love a good long video 🤩 thank you for keeping me entertained on new year morning 😅

[@jennifertaylor-wright7694]

We need a short vid review on the Shark Flex style bc honey I’ve been holding off anddddd I trust your word period😊

[@chaneljalice]

Balanced Black girl has been a really great recourse for productivity tips for planners ! the creater provides notion temps as well for free! ❤❤ you always provide recourses for us, even if you don’t see this i hope the pod can pop up on your feed🫶🏽

[@leilahabree]

Hii, I plan on documenting my life in my 20s just like you. I’d also like to share my information on the pains and how to get through those parts of our lives as women, because we’re just girls. We deserve to live in that! I also would like to film content as a plant based consumer including cooking substitutes and mic’d up grocery shopping trips. Love you aliyah, don’t doubt the impact you have on us! We appreciate you🩷

[@livcherry_]

Wishing you a happy new year! I really enjoyed watching your videos this year as it motivates me! ❤😊

[@Spideyswiss118]

BYE THAT GIFT EXCHANGE WAS HILARIOUS 😂😂😂

[@TearaBeara]

[@_rayafterhours]

Like excuse me. So cheers to another year wishing all the blessing prosperity and new opportunity💕🫠🫶-

[@samarirenee]

It's crazy I've been watching aliyah since I was in middle school and now I'm in college and on the journey to create my own content😅

[@tamera026brown8]

Actually gasped when I saw the video pop up😁

[@DequanHenry]

Another vid, lets gooo 🎉 better not get rid of the long hourly content, its too satisfying but ofc if you HAVE and only if you HAVE too lol

[@shanicealexius]

personally i have never used a king video as background if anything when i see one if ny favorite createors post a long video im like ok lemme kick up my feet and get a snack bc 9/10 im not doing anything. 😂 I do like the idea of you sprinkling in a few short videos in between long ones. I love that you realize that everones attention soans are different 💕

[@jessw.6250]

He is BACK YES! 😂🎁

[@ZeeRouse24]

Girly pop, i don't want you take this the wrong way but your videos to me are my background noise. But in the best way! Your videos are very calming to me, and the sound of your voice is comforting as i complete my daily task. Im so serious when i say that a prolonged procrastinating day easily turns into a productive one the moment i see you've uploaded a new video! It feels like a treat honestly. I'm always like "ouu my girl is here!😲😍 Time to get my ass up and do something"😂

[@ZeeRouse24]

I've been watching your content since I was in middle school, and I'm a freshman in college now! You've always been like the dream big sister I've always wanted lol. And that's coming from being an oldest daughter myself. Anyways babe, do what works for you but I just wanted to let you know that not all background noise is ignored, you're like a podcast that includes videos. I listen the first time, then rewatch the second! Love your work💗🫶🏾✨

[@evelynchaisson7483]

I’ve been wanting to create lifestyle content as I am going to my last year of undergrad. I definitely need to document it

[@relaxing6620]

31:16 i also love knowing what happens at all times and i hate being uncertain as well trust meee

[@_Briannakatrice]

1st this is a crazy opportunity and you have been a blessing to SO many people’s lives fr! It’s rare that I enter giveways only because I always have doubt that I would win but also sometimes I feel like someone else can benefit off of the prize more. This giveaway I felt differently, if I had the chance to win this camera I know that I would use it to document my time in college as a transfer student especially while being in marching band. I’ve been watching your videos since you were in high school and it truly inspired me to create a channel. I always put on your videos because they give me a sense of comfort and I love seeing the creativity and the evolution of your editing. Watching your videos gives me vibe like I’m watching a big sister ( which I don’t have so that probably why lol) It’s nice hearing abt beauty products to look into, new tech equipment, fashion tips, and more things to do in CLT. One of my biggest goals in the new year and in general to make it somewhere with content creation. I have that passion and seeing how far you have made it as a young black woman is so inspiring and lets me know it’s possible. Granted I don’t know all the steps to get there but I have hope that one day I will be able to stay that I am successful because of my passion for creating. This camera will document this upcoming year which is also my senior year and the many lessons I learn. I’m so excited yet anxious to see what this year holds but I know that it will be one to remember. I really hope the best for you and your loved ones this upcoming New Year!! Thank you for all that you have done !!🫂🤍🎉🎉🍾🍾 Ig : @_.Briannakatrice

[@mylifeasanastasia06]

hiii i’m just starting out but i would use this camera to film my lifestyle content and mostly at home shots 💖🥰

[@essenceofjyrahb]

lol when you said you plan so much and you need to act more.. my eyes went buck cause that’s me frfr. And I heard you when you said you do stuff your future self will thank you for… I’m starting to adapt that mindset now. Listening to you is getting me through work. 🎉

[@jordyn9238]

i plan to document my journey through my last semesters in college (wouldn’t have made it without all of your advice over the years😭) with my new puppy who is also a maltipoo like cashewwwww

[@naeelise228]

hey Aliyah! I would just like to congratulate you on creating a successful volgmas and I loved every video! I would like to use the dji camera to document my own moving out and apartment hunting journey. we are similar in age and growing up with you has helped me be comfortable with independency! thank you for sharing your holiday season with us👏🏾

[@naeelise228]

@naeelise_ 🤭

[@jslovediaries]

i never watch your videos as background music/noise!!! i be SAT tuned in.

[@Filmsbyell]

Hey Aliyah long time viewer I'm loving these weekly vlogs. With the osmo I think I would create vlogs and videos about beauty, fashion and being in your 20s. Having a good camera would have me set especially for my tik Tok where I make video diaries.

[@Kinya_grey]

I love your long form content 😭😭🫶🏾🫶🏾

[@mhghoul2610]

To me I love long videos and seeing what that person is doing in their lives that is impacting them in a good thing or bad thing and seeing growth within as well. I plan on documenting my new life going into my 20s because i will be an adult adult next year and not a 19 year old anymore and going out to see the places. And I want to achieve my goals that i didn't do this year and with the new one for 2025. 2025 IS GOING TO BE OUR YEAR FOR SOMETHING NEW. 😁🥳

[@mhghoul2610]

[@parisplacid]

I plan on finally putting my ideas of creating short films and music videos out of my music into reality. I’ve been making music for a few years now and i’ve been feeling like i need to do more. With this equipment i would be able to use it to create and spread awareness on mental health problems through my film! I love ur videos and was religiously every time !!

[@parisplacid]

Hello alyliah im new to your channel I’m watching you now happy late holidays and happy new year to you aswell

[@urbanflxra]

in Texas are stores are closed on Sundays too and close by a certain time 😭

[@Kneeshay5]

I would be documenting my last semesters of senior year, and I would be able to transport these to events for family without feeling intrusive, and make family recapa of events! Your diji shots are AMAZING, and I can only hope to be gifted this🥹🧙‍♂️ and thank you for always doing Vlogmas!! Ive been watching you and Mai Pham for years, and I feel like this would be my no excuse reason to film now.

[@TheLaTerraWair]

I want to document the process of purchasing my first home journey

[@abbybennett2891]

i love it here 😊

[@roniquerod]

last week so quick🥹

[@jessowusu1920]

I love your videos so much. I don’t comment too much but just know I’m a supporter. I would document my college life, do college vlogs, collective vlogs, travel and maintenance vlogs. I would also do medical related content because I am a first gen college student and I love lifestyle and college/school content and your lifestyle content and editing style have really inspired me to try again and be serious. I lost my previous camera I had so I had to buy another one too and it’s coming next week. But I love your content and have a great new year 🤍

[@azanaq]

I just graduated college and will (hopefully) be starting a PhD in the fall of 2025. I really want to document my transition to adult life living on my own for the first time, moving to a new city, starting graduate school, and navigating my early 20s. One of my best friends from college vlogs and he's captured some really precious moments, so i'd like to start documenting some of those things too :)

[@veneciasantina]

i really want to make content more about my life as a 23 year old and possibly more book content !!

[@amthyyyyst]

I first found your account thru your video on editing, maybe a year ago, and since then I’ve started to film our schools games (sports) and started my schools student life and sports insta accounts. I would use the camera for filming content both for my school, and for vlogging my day in the life. Same with the hard drive, and with my photography so i can store all my photos.
