I was off KZbin for a while and I randomly saw Bahjas channel and since that day I promised myself I would change and do it the right way. Her content has been a huge inspiration and seeing her overcome the challenges I’m facing has motivated me.

[@BahjaAbdi]

I don't know how to express the emotions I'm feeling right now, but this comment brings both joy and a deep sense of gratitude. I hope I can be the support for others that I wished I had when facing uncertainty and challenges. Seeing this comment today... I could cry! I love you all so much and I'm rooting for you 🤍

[@lilymarycox2763]

Honestly !!!! I second this

[@777goddess]

Lmaoo relatable 😭😭 sometimes I’d look at myself in pictures and even at the mirror and think “ I’m not even ugly ,what’s wrong with me??”💀💀

[@aimemaggie]

I’m collecting feel good KZbinrs like infinity stones so I always have some uplifting content to watch in the new year as I transform my life.

[@user-cz2tr9ge5h]

Can you tell me any names you’ve found? I’m also looking for some inspo content

[@smartblkhottie]

[@QuEeN-uy6lg]

You guys make sure to watch her video!

[@Sifrat]

Thank you..❤

[@qumanugaas]

❤❤❤❤

[@aj__love5919]

Oh Thank you! Always a great reminder in case we cannot watch the video sometimes !

[@nickandchrismom]

Thanks!❤

[@rubynugent118]

Your complexion is gorgeous!! Black and brown skin tones have always been beautiful and anyone who says otherwise is simply intimidated by anyone else being considered attractive (and racist).

[@mamediarramadeleinecisse5920]

This is so important to me right now because I feel like not feeling ugly anymore is a huge step to acknowledging my worth and build stronger self esteem ! I'm so glad I found your channel! Literally! May Allah bless you!!

[@afrofaeries]

Also have you SEEEEEEN us black women??? We are beautiful and abundant and so wonderful regardless of our skin

[@BahjaAbdi]

Yess!! What a blessing, I love us so much 😩🫶🏾

[@ranaelkayyal9327]

Everyone is beautiful in their own way that is why everyone is different

[@yusra.ahmdd03]

Love this video, could you share with us your gut health journey. I related when you mentioned the skin transformation by just fixing your gut health. Would love to know more about it in a separate video ❤️❤️🥰

[@taylorgray3147]

Notes I took to stay focused during this gem of a video: Being Pretty is a Choice ! Embody the idea that you are beautiful Fully believe it to your core This will build proof that you are pretty :-) Chose differently, forgiving yourself for your past bad choices Set Standards What can I accept about myself? What can I change about myself? What does the best version of you look like? Make a detailed list about what you want to change Be real and raw with yourself here ! Body and Health: Go to the doctor and get testing done Move your body every. single. day. (10k steps a day!) Resistance training or pilates a couple times a week SLEEP! This is such an important foundation. Diet and Gut Health: Priorities the right foods: yogurts, fermented foods, cinnamon, tea + matcha Less processed foods and more complete, whole foods Balance is okay, but keep treats to evenings out and enjoyment with others. Educate yourself on how foods affect your body ! Is your plan sustainable? Eat your fruits and veggies before anything else Supplements: Probiotics, Omega 3 fish oil, vitamin D3 & K2, B12, B6, Magnesium, Lion’s Mane Cycle Syncing: Work WITH your body instead of AGAINST it bestie ! Understand the different phases, use it to plan your meals and workouts Take it easy when you’re on your period Hygiene: Shower properly every single day Clean under your nails, between your toes, behind your ears, etc. Floss and scrape your tongue! Change your diet to grow strong nails Keep your space clean and hygienic; clean a little bit every day not just once a week Skin & Body Care: Take care of your diet and your body will thank you Keep your routine very simple and clean Double cleanse when taking off makeup Remember taking care of your external appearance will increase self love & confidence Exfoliate your body and invest in a nice body butter (I personally LOVE Josie Maran Argan Oil body butter) Get a cute matching pajama set

[@Rania-vh7wg]

Bless u!

[@EyeFrine]

Also can we remember to be realistic and factor in day or two where you do not feel bothered, so have the minimum standard to do as well For example if you chose to stay home all day, at least make sure you showered and changed into fresh home clothes If you can’t do 10000 steps outside just avoid sitting for more than 60 mins, so get up and move around the house do a home workout if you can! Basically this mindset of I need to be on it daily can become too much then you feel unbothered then go back to square one. Just remember you are human and will have some days of the month you will feel less bothered so just plan for those days inshallah

[@aj__love5919]

Basically listen to your body so if even staying up for 25 mins is good? Do that because for some 60 mins is a lot and legs start hurting 😊

[@byesialater]

as someone who’s struggles with major depression and mental health issues, this is so important!

[@EyeFrine]

Good morning Bahja, I have been watching your videos for a couple of weeks now. You are very empowering and inspiring. I was assaulted last Monday in broad daylight. I got out, free. He didn’t hurt me that much but left a bunch of bruises on my arms. My life is changed forever now. With that being said, as I continue to watch your videos, I am going to start a channel to empower other women. Your videos have helped me tremendously, especially, during this time. I love you.

Thank you! Speaking of the every month focus on something different, I wanted to share how I've started structuring my years in case that helps others and if anyone has anything they do, I'd love to hear! I break down the year into quarters and then have individual monthly focuses within each quarter. I have a notion database to track and review and set goals based on this. Very much a work in-progress I fine-tune a bit more each year. Q1: Health January | Physical February | Nutrition March | Mental Q2: Wealth April | Finances May | Career June | Creativity & Spontaneity Q3: Heart July | Spirituality August | Cleansing September | Grounding Q4: Hearth October | Relationships November | Gratitude & Abundance December | Home

[@Pumpkins298]

Ngl, talking about changing the fact that you’re Black like it’s something to change is really sad. As if it’s associated with “being ugly”. In case anyone reading this thinks that way, please know that you are beautiful. If you’re Muslim, remember that Allah (SWT) created you and every shade of His human creation exactly the way it should be. You are created by THE CREATOR. I know it can be hard, but remember that. You and your skin tone are perfect and beautiful just the way they are ❤

[@BahjaAbdi]

It was simply an example. To emphasize the point of there's things you can change, and there's things you can't change and that all you can do is accept it.

[@Pumpkins298]

@@BahjaAbdi I can see where you’re coming from, but you still framed it as a negative quality. Skin tone not something ‘to accept’; it’s only something we have to accept when we see it is as negative quality. I’m sorry you see it that way and hope that as you get older, you’ll break that down and learn to love it (or at least see it as neutral) the way we all should. 💗

Matcha girl how do you make it because I tried it 1x with regular milk - it was something ;D, ( I know some take it with coconut milk to make it more delicious) I totally get it now. Also Skinfix!! I Love Skinfix I have use their under eye cream to get more hydration in under eyes before applying makeup game changer! Those are superb supplements I have them too totally worth it! For maintaining a good cycle I highly recommend Seed Cycling- Game Changer!!!!
