embarrassing brand moments, how I *really* feel about social media & your burning q's

[@jemforsyth]

I honestly feel like this has been the quickest Lanmas 😢 have loved seeing you every day Lan 😘 Hope you all have a lovely Christmas filled with love ❤

[@megansmith2818]

Right!!! December has just flew past😱

[@JanciRak]

I feel the same, it went by so fast 😢

[@gloriacorbett1791]

It’s really flown by!!!

[@jenniferparga668]

Same, 100% feel the same!!!!

[@melocotonki]

Not showing us photos, from grade 5 through 12 to accompany Dejan’s story was a CRIME 😭💕

[@allanaramaa]

I am so sorry we were really pushing this upload and ran out of time 😅😅😅😅❤❤❤

[@raleeot7]

I was waiting for the photos too hahahaha

[@raleeot7]

I've been a subscriber since your Calgary days. I'm not a makeup lover but I'm still here. I watch every video including the makeup tutorials. I just love your personality. You're so genuine and down to earth. Thank you for making videos!! Happy holidays to you, Dejan, and Meryl!

[@biancazangheri9291]

Your makeup looks absolutely insane in this video, you look wonderful Alana🤍

[@kellieprestidge9346]

Positively glowing! ❤

[@TeaganYork22]

I was thinking that too! I’d love a tutorial!!!

[@lucyhenderson8717]

I feel like your you tube platform is such a safe space. Always love and appreciate you checking in with us ❤

[@meme-jc5ks]

January in Australia means Australian Open! Get on it! And bring sunscreen.

[@Elle9172]

Don’t bring sunscreen. Buy Australian sunscreen instead!!

[@SfEsthetician]

Health is SO important. I went thru a massive health journey, losing over 100lbs & I am so grateful I did it. Best decision I’ve made! You really don’t appreciate health until you don’t have it. Can’t imagine my busy life now with 100+ lbs on myself. I’m always inspired by your dedication to your health! Absolutely loved every Lanmas video & can’t wait till Every Day May ❤

[@vivianwu1258]

THIS MAKEUP OMG ALLANNA! I need video!

[@laurenshuler99]

You are truly stunning. It's been so great to see how your health shines through your face since doing the program, like literally a face transformation and it's that healthy glow & aura! So inspiring to me as I am starting my own health journey. xx

[@nadiaamaral3463]

Thank you Allana, been following you for years. Watching your videos is usually my me time at the end of a busy day. I don't comment much on the videos, but wanted you to know that I love you content, how genuine and lovely you are. Thank you for all these years of entertainment🥰😘 wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.xxx

[@nicolehood6432]

Your transformation both inside and out from the program has been so inspiring to witness. You found something that works for you and you look so glowy and happy! You inspire and remind me to stay consistent! Merry Christmas!

[@melaniemerkosky]

You are such a genuine soul Allana! Truly one of a kind. I have so much respect for you and Dejan and your passion for this little corner of the internet. So happy to be here ✨

[@jmyjaneenmayyoga5331]

I continue to watch your vids because 1) you’re funny and humble and can giggle at yourself 2) you’re down to earth and share the things that YOU love 3) you never pressure anyone to buy and always have a disclaimer that everyone is different and what works for you may not work for someone else 4) waiting for your SNL career to take off 😜 keep doing your thing Lan!! ❤

[@s.ophieee]

Lan, I have been watching you for years. I hope you know the reals ones know you're here - making content - to bring joy and just do what you love! We all appreciate that. :). Sending parasocial love this holiday season. Keep being you! xx

[@carolinacarreon698]

This is my first holidays being completely alone so this year is been extra special for me to have lamas, usually in the mornings with my coffee. ❤ thank you for making me feel less alone! I feel like we’ve been growing up together all these years, so hearing you talk about quitting KZbin just sounds impossible for me and thank god you feel the same way 😂❤ love the way you keep making your videos interesting while being truthful with yourself, it’s inspiring. Love you so much :)

[@marypl4152]

Lan, you look like a beautiful snow princess in that gorgeous fluffy white sweater. I love that you have no intention of leaving YT and that long-form content is what you love doing nost. I love these Q&A and your openess. You are my YT Queen! I've always moved around a lot too. After leaving Winnipeg, I moved to many places in Spain including Tenerife and also lived in Brittany and Bordeaux. I finally wound up living in Gijon, a beautiful city on the coast in Northern Spain. In a very mild climate, never thought I'd live in a place like this. No heat stroke here Lan our climate is very different from the rest of Spain. Thank you #Lanmas and for just being you. Merry Xmas to the 3 of you 🎄

[@joannapasawska7629]

Spain is such a beautiful place to live. I've spent 5 years in Tenerife too and moved then to Italy, but truly I can't wait to move back to Spain, there is something about it that you don't find easily elsewhere ❤

[@wendyfreeman5250]

@allana I love the human that you are. Just had to say thank you for being so organic always. Also I always cry when you and Dejan adopt the Christmas families super touching for me because I was one of those kids growing up with a single mother who couldn’t afford to do the extras that come with holidays which I am grateful now because it taught me the value of people, time and essentials things like heat, water and food things because take for granted but as a child did not always quite understand and wondered if I was loved because of it. Anyways sorry for the rambling. I’m grateful for your compassion and generosity to others less fortunate.

[@shelleytrevino3699]

Love the Q&As! I’ve been following you for about as long as you’ve had your channel and I’m just as excited for your content as I was in the beginning. You have stayed true to yourself and I love that about you. It’s so fun to see you be your genuine self and be beautiful, funny, goofy, honest, and caring.

[@MsReggieray]

Genuinely never loved you more than watching you just talk about your life. So warm and lovely xx

[@carlaisabelsm]

Allana, I love and appreciate your honesty during all these questions. I love even more that you have really kept this space FUN and special!!! I look forward to your videos everyday and it’s gonna be weird not having LANMAS but THANK YOU for this space, for sharing your joy (and not so joyful moments too), for making us LAUGH (girl, you were a comedian in another life), and for being here on KZbin. CAN’T WAIT to see what the new year brings to your life (and Dejan) 💖💖💖💖💖

[@nathaliefl]

you're just the best. i follow you since the calgary days and omg i never get over the way you communicate and how you're so genuine to your community. have a GREAT holidays and thank you for sharing your life with us!

[@Pamela_Melanie]

You’re the best part of my mornings while getting ready for work 🥰 thank you for spreading joy for years on KZbin, can’t believe how long its been! Btw you look AMAZING you snow princess ❄️

[@karina_esthi1738]

Can’t believe this is almost over !! Like always … we love every day of allana during holiday season. She is extra cheery lol 🎉

[@misty_michelle3034]

Lanmas has flown by this year. Honestly this whole year has flown by faster than ever. I can't believe there's only a little over a week left of 2024. That being said I am looking forward to what you will be sharing with us next year. I don't get to travel all that much so I'm living vicariously through your travels. I hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

[@debrajane7622]

Loved this Q & A!! Many thanks to you for being here on KZbin for over a decade, and for you and Dejan doing Lanmas this year! I love it SO much, and I’m already getting sad that it’s coming to an end in a few days. 😢 Much love to you, Dejan and Meryl!! ❤❤❤

[@zeys917]

I've been watching this channel for so long, since high school if I remember correctly and I also finished med school lol time flies. I love how you keep doing this old school long form content. After all this time hearing you talk about visiting Turkey which is my country made me so happy! hope to see a vlog and if u need to ask anything about the country, where to go etc I would be happy to help.

[@ceciledang8299]

Thank you for entertaining me! I am so forever grateful to have found your channel and absolutely love what you put out there: relatable, honest and fun. It’s my feel good channel and it made me discover so many new things about myself.. and products 😂. Much love❤

[@ange5354]

i have always had a yo yo relationship with working out and eating ' healthy'. i think for me, everything came to a head when i realized (after having a baby) i need to 1. start doing what i really find interesting, like tryign to improve strength or mobility instead of focusing on losing x y z or even looking a certain way 2. having barrier entry thats not super high, ie doing waht i can, if its10 mins then i go hard for 10 mins and just being consistent at that

[@Yncarts]

I’m such a huge fan of yours from Turkey. I was so excited to hear that you want to come here! Every morning while having breakfast, I watch your videos, and this morning, I literally jumped out of my seat saying, ‘Whaaat?!’ If you ever want to ask anything about Turkey, I’d be more than happy to help. Thank you for all the inspiration!

[@DawnMGP58]

It's 4:00 a.m. here in Florida, where I live, and I can't sleep....Again!! 😴 💤 But, it's been nice to have you, Dejan and Meryl to watch for Lanmas!! You sure make my constant Insomnia a lot more bearable!!! You absolutely make me laugh...thank you, Allana!! ❤

[@tgall2013]

Ok obvi over anything else in the world I would want you to just do what makes you happy but I’m so grateful that you have allowed us into your life for this long on KZbin! You’ve grown and so has your content and I’ve grown with it. I love the vlogs, I love your humor, I love the makeup, I love the workout content I just love that you show us so many things! You’re my fav! Merry Christmas!

[@rebacurt1014]

I think one of my favourite things is none of your sponsored or promoted items are out of nowhere - it’s items you’ve raved about for weeks and I just get excited that they’ve partnered with you since you’ve already sung the praises. It’s nice to be able to trust it and know you’re not just promoting for a quick surge or anything!

[@oliviafleites]

This was a great down to earth one on one video. It is great to provide insight like this and remember that content creators are humans like the rest of us. There will always be drama at any work place, whatever that looks like. I personally enjoy your videos and will continue to watch.

[@ginakayx]

I absolutely ADORE and LIVE FOR your long form KZbin content please never stop!!! I love your vlogs so much ❤❤

[@nikitangel01]

A nearly 40 minute video is what I live to see from Lammas❤️ thanks for always entertaining and being a safe space and providing long form content for those stair master days at the gym, truly a blessing

[@jessicalee7655]

Allana, you are GLOWING - all the work you're doing for your health is paying off, so inspiring ✨️

[@saiatm2906]

When I feel like I don't have a compass, I get lost... Maybe sometimes I need it, other times I just get sad. On the scales I try to be fair by weighing what I have to regret with what I have to be thankful for. Many times what I have to be thankful for weighs more. And I think about how I would like to feel tomorrow. Over time, I think it's important to trust and believe that there is a plan, and that we are part of something bigger than ourselves. Maybe we are not close to our peers, but it doesn't mean that we are without them. A big hug! It's nice to hear you in tune with frankness in these moments of balance, closing stages and beginning new ones.

[@katiec102]

Loving the length of this years Lanmas videos!!! In my mind the longer the better 😂 Wishing you and dejan a holiday season filled with rest and lots of love!

[@ulyssescampos4397]

I'm newish here so I loved the backstory to your channel and love story and your thoughts on everything. Happy to hear you will continue to share with us indefinitely 🥰

[@prinsesamartha]

I’ve been watching your vids since maybe 8 years ago and it has been an absolute blip! I love that your channel has been a very safe space in the thick of all the noise and content and I feel like this is such a healthy community. I hope to meet you some day! All the love from the Philippines 🇵🇭 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

[@TenderForms]

Loved this Q+A!! Please don’t ever leave KZbin. You’re our cozy corner of the internet 🤍✨

[@annabanzuela7628]

I love this. It feels like sitting down and catching up with a friend. 🥰 I can't belive Lanmas is almost over!😢

[@elizabethw3281]

I really liked this Q&A. And yeah the housing prices are nuts in Vancouver. When renting costs more than most ppls mortgage payments. 😭 Looking forward to your home renos as I love watching a home reno as they can be so inspiring.

[@NatashaCobby]

Straya!! I’m from Perth but adore Melbs - you’re gonna die at how much Australia loves both egg based breakfasts and fitness, and the Australian open is SUCH a fun grand slam (hopefully you’re going then 🤞). Final note - move to London for a bit! You can always move back if you don’t vibe, but you’ve gotta rip the bandaid and just go as it’ll never feel like a ‘good’ time to move. Loving Lanmas as I do every year ❤

[@gosiakidd5646]

Im just here sending a warm hug to match your warm and quirky personality that I fell for 4 years ago and I’m not going anywhere so glad to hear you also plan on entertaining us on KZbin in future.

[@lodixe5947]

I love every minute of this video, i dont know how many years ive been following you, i switched tyo a new account a few years ago but i feel like you were on of the first, i remember you, Sam, Jamy. Regarding what you said about paying for content etc, i stopped following a few people when they started using patreon and that kind of things, i feel like they dont do a lot of "free" or quality/reel content after a few months, most of them "re purpose" ( i hope that makes sense, im french 😅) their content and loose their authenticity!, thank you for making us laugh and feel good and "normal" ❤

[@hopenkabinde]

I followed your KZbin earlier this year, I truly enjoy your content. You are authentic, sweet, so much love from South Africa 🇿🇦

[@lynram8820]

This video….simple yet sincere and true. You are a kind soul!

[@MrsVeronicat]

I'm a long time subscriber and a huge fan of old school KZbin. I really miss those times, as much as I like some of the TT content, nothing compares to the way YT shaped me lol Honestly? Thank you for being you, and providing us with quality content, especially on busy times such as Everyday May and Lanmas. I love how your channel is a safe space and source of inspiration. Love you xxx

[@iinala]

Lan, you look absolutely radiant in this video! ✨ Happy Holidays 🫶🏻💕

[@hannahzantvoort9654]

It’s so lovely you and Dejan are on the fitness journey together, would be so helpful to be able to encourage each other and hold each other accountable! Love it! Thinking of the why? Is such good advice! Woah woah woah! You’re coming down to Aus 🤔😮😮😮

[@kirrilyzacher9141]

I don’t watch any other KZbinrs regularly except for you. Your content is so joyful and lovely and I love it, please keep your corner of KZbin alive ❤❤❤

[@catherinemcnab]

Like a lot of people have said here, your makeup looks amazing here! Would love a video on it 🥰 your meal plan video has given me some clarity on what I'll be doing next in my health journey! I bought the rice noodle pucks you have... they cook so quick! I'm excited to see what you have in store for the new year 🥳

[@annasantine]

Loved this sit-down chatty q&a! I'd love to see more of these in the future when you feel like doing them! Also - I'm genuinely amazed by your generosity with these Lanmas giveaways. Thanks for giving back ❤

[@RifatZamanAna]

Love your makeup and lip color. Everything in this video is blending in so beautifully. Warm and cozy vibes. Personally you have inspired to be consistent with my gym routine and I thank you for that ❤

[@kathleencarpenter7383]

Your skin in this video is stunning! Thank for a fun and entertaining Lanmas!

[@karlidomingo]

Love your uploads. ❤ thanks for keeping your channel the way it is, keeping true to yourself. I’ve been watching for years and love this space.

[@kashsullivan]

Ha! First! ❤ So sad that Lanmas is coming to an end another year 😢. Happy holidays Allana!❤

[@wership]

It has been the exact content I needed right now

[@kellieprestidge9346]

You’re such a breath of fresh air! You, Dejan and Meryl are doing such a good job ❤

[@ezgiisk3498]

Allana, I’ve been watching you for yearss and have been taking notes from your vacation vlogs. Hearing you wanted to visit Turkey, as someone who is Turkish and born and raised in Istanbul got me very excited! If you need any recommendations I’ll be more than happy to help ♥️

[@teresawilliams1201]

You are my fav KZbinr and I’m always so happy to hear you say that it’s your favorite as well ♥️

[@charlycb92]

You inspired me to get back into my workout and healthy eating routine after my second daughter was born 3 months ago. Thank you so much! I’ve been following you for years and I think this is the first time I’ve commented a video of yours. It’s about time ❤️

[@allisonmein4676]

you are absolutely glowing! don’t want Lanmas to end!!! 🥰❤️

[@joannapasawska7629]

Merry Christmas to you, Dejan and Meryl 🎄🎁 Wishing you guys find a place where you can settle and call a forever home. It can be exhausting and overwhelming at times as you keep it always at the back of your head, but also a fun journey! ❤

[@pu5575]

U genuinely like how you live your life…. Such dedication and discipline and also as a content creator… you are very authentic with great humour…n u don’t look over obsessed with the fake life rather merge your personal and professional life nicely….n I love your you tube channel ❤

[@ronni7167]

Thank you for answering all these questions. The questions were awesome. Lanmas flew by and I always appreciate the work it takes for both of you to get the uploads up. I’m one of those people that spelled Dejan’s name wrong and I sincerely apologize. So Dejan I’m so sorry and truly appreciate your editing as it usually cracks me up. That screaming goat (or sheep) still cracks me up to this day. Again I’m sorry (and embarrassed). Much love to you both. ❤❤❤

[@emilyjimly]

Loved hearing all of the updates and looking forward to 2025! Also this makeup is stunninggggggg

[@erikasbeautyworld2302]

You are such a gem of a person!!! Thanks for the gift of your content! ♥

[@Anitacpatel]

Love your energy and how real you keep it! 💕

[@gloriacorbett1791]

Having been here since right before you moved back to Vancouver from Calgary so it’s so fun to hear the callbacks to past events because I fully remember when you got Meowryl and when Dejan came back into your life

[@cindyfalciani8896]

I am going to miss Lanmas so much. I have loved starting my day with you! ❤

[@jenniferwuertz]

Ahh you should do these more often! Love listening to you chat! I love having youtube going as I'm getting stuff done!

[@mrp8190]

It’s been a long time since your last Q&A, thank you for this one! It’s fun

[@alliesyn]

To everyone watching. WALK. Move. Get up. I’m severely chronically ill & need a spinal surgery. I can’t even walk long enough to do a grocery shop or stroll around target. if you can move. Move. Please. You’ll never know how horrible it is to lose that independence until it’s gone. Take care of yourselves. Health is wealth. Over everything.

[@ruthleon6673]

Wishing you the best 💓

[@alliesyn]

@ thank you! I’m moving to a new state soon and hopefully the medical care will be better there and I’ll see some improvement. ♥️ wishing you well too!

[@zsuzsannaboston]

I have been watching your channel since the beginning. I was also born in 1993 and it always felt like we were “adulting” together 😊 LANMAS and Christmas vlogs are something that i am truly looking forward to watch in every December! Thank you for keeping the KZbin Christmas Spirit ❤️🥹

[@chaakashicon]

Easily one of my favorite vids ❤ especially because I needed to hear that I need a bigger WHY in my health and fitness journey tbh ❤️‍🔥 tyty!

[@allanaramaa]

You got it gal 🫶🏻🫶🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[@stephalma]

7:12 and 8:17 edits were just fantastic. I loved all these questions!

[@stephalma]

I can so relate to that heat stroke story lolol

[@kathyfilyaw201]

How you are different from other KZbinrs…..and I Love all different content creators…..you are very Grounded and truly relatable. I never feel like you are pushing or promoting something you dont like…..and if you don’t like how it works for you…..you say so and why….Thanks for that!!! Happy Holiday to you and Dejan!!!

[@ozatanvi]

The holiday season can be tough sometimes, but your videos always bring so much light into our lives ✨Thank you for making 2024 brighter with your amazing content! Sending lots of love and appreciation your way ❤Happy Holidays and Happy 2025! Here’s to a year full of good things for all of us 🎊

[@denisegrosch2744]

Loved this video! Your makeup looks PERFECT on this one! Happy Holiday's!

[@samanthaleon5586]

You are so right about nothing feeling new or special anymore 😔 I miss old KZbin and this is why I really hold onto you as a KZbin creator because you are one of the few left still making those “old school” videos still

[@MyshelLeAnn]

Lan you look so beautiful in that IVORY sweater. I’m very similar to your coloring, hair and eyes and I always struggled if I was warm or cool toned. I’m now thinking I’m also a summer. I definitely need to start trying some ivory. I don’t have one thing ivory in my closet, I naturally gravitated to white. But omg seeing how beautiful you look in this color is stunning! Especially with your natural skin tone, truly gorgeous Allana.

[@elizabethfaith5064]

I’ve been enjoying these videos so much! your skin looks so beautiful and vibrant! May you please share your lip combo on this video? Merry Christmas!! God bless you!

[@alyssa.t.browning]

LAN the glow at the end of this in front of the tree - wowowoow glassy

[@jackiereid1310]

What a lovely video to watch. You are just so genuine. xo

[@juelclyne7392]

Allana, I always love ❤️ your Q&As because it highlights how beautiful and genuine you are. I hope you and Dejan make it to Turkey 🇹🇷 as it’s such an amazing country. I so enjoyed my trip there, the people are some of the best I’ve ever encountered, hot air ballooning at sunrise in Cappadocia is magical, hiking there is fantastic, the streets if Istanbul, I’m speechless to describe. All and all, you won’t regret your time there. ❤❤

[@MalikaRodriguez-n5e]

I never comment on KZbin. But you just are a really cool and genuine person. And beautiful!

[@seleniums101]

So excited you want to visit Türkiye. I’m a long time follower and I’m from there. I recommend doing a blue tour (multi day coastal tour) I love Bodrum and also really want to go to Izmir and Oludeniz. The whole Turquoise coast is beautiful. If I went to Istanbul , I’d personally stay in Pera/Beyoglu neighborhood but everyone has a different opinion. I would stay somewhere other than the historical quarters though. Spend a day or two doing the historical things in Istanbul but spend the rest of your time exploring the city. Especially being in the industry you’re in, there are a lot of experiences and locations that you would love that I’m not familiar with. Restaurants that are over 200 years old, luxury experiences, beautiful shopping centers etc. One thing no one does and I fully recommend is a full Bosphorus tour. I usually take the ferry from Eminönü or Kadikoy to Sariyer and make my way back via taxi or other. It’s so peaceful. Taxis do scam tourists unfortunately but now there is uber. I hear hamams are becoming a tourist experience. I’ve personally never been but it sounds nice. I hope you have a wonderful time when you go and please try some desserts (I recommend saray muhallebici as a chain but there are so many amazing places) and wet hamburgers on top of everything else you will be trying. And most definitely have a Turkish breakfast. Lots of love 🧿💙

[@seleniums101]

A clothing brand that’s very trendy atm there is Yargici. In case you wanted to look for some fun pieces

[@wddw1539]

Eeee! You look amazing! Merry Christmas. Thank you for LANMAS!

[@chel_hamelin]

Very excited to see some home reno vids! I live in the GTA and can confirm housing is insane!! Luckily bought my house 10 years ago when things weren’t so bad. It’s not my dream home but I can not commit to spending what things cost now. Just making my little home as cute and quirky as I can.

[@idalarsson4729]

Your makeup in this video looks amazing!💕

[@cathyhurst922]

Thank you for all you do. Both my 30 year old daughter and her 62 year old mom (me) enjoy all you do.

[@janedoe8662]

Loved watching this ❤ please share your lip combo in this video

[@MarlaKeif-o1c]

Thank you Alana for your health insights. So true what you say that health can take a turn in a heart beat. Next time you go to San Francisco, take a day trip (or more!) about an hour north to Healdsburg. You and Dajan will love the vibe❤

[@mariamastrogiacomo1031]

I like when you say I want to feel strong!! That is my why ! I need to start and keep telling myself I want to feel strong.

[@thatssokatie8]

Me and my husband honeymooned in Turkey and it was the most magical experience ever. Driving the west and south coast truly took my breath away. Safe travels!!!
