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?

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

[@nmsl504]

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.

[@ringodaisy7]

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 ❤

[@ARealCookinMama]

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!

[@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

[@kozlikgg]

this chaotic energy in the smoothie part is my favourite

[@ineesmouraa]

12:12 I'm living for this weird mood 😂🤌🏼

[@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

[@iddagia]

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.

[@Tiffsaura]

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

[@amyyyshiolou2073]

Idk if it’s not in the US but in the UK cut fruit is SO EXPENSIVEEEEE like £3.50 for like 8 cubes of watermelon, whereas a whole watermelon would be like £1.80

[@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🌻🩷

[@lexi7556]

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

[@waleskasantos7526]

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.

[@patsalas5170]

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 ❤❤❤❤

[@Rich_Coconut]

Love spring szn! You inspire me to move back! 🎉

[@user-ou4wh5go4e]

Your vlogs are so comforting 🩵

[@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!!

[@wanjam-uz8lp]

your videos make me so happy, thank you

[@RebeccaABeaudoin]

Love this for you! Thank you for the joy

[@Claudia_K.]

I had the same identity crisis and I’m 38 years old and a mum! It’s a thing and hence I quit all my social media except KZbin. I even quit my job as a social media manager in order to get myself back on track. It helps so much with forming my own opinions and identity as a woman, colleague, wife and mum. Trust your gut and friends and family, people! x

[@beckyllama900]

I think this video is what I needed 😭❤️❤️

[@Iambornique_]

I love how summer makes you this happy😍>>>>

[@elnkbufr]

this vlog is so good i love you 💕

[@aurelputri1101]

You’re my favorite content creator at the moment 💗💐

[@valentinadevera9543]

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

[@auntyvic]

You are one the few vloggers I love!! So honest, creative, and consistent. Also, per your chat in the beginning I totally have that same struggle of having my inner voice and opinion drowned out by everyone else’s live on social media. Aaaand personally I like liquidy/ icy smoothies. You’re so right that we really overthink smoothies way too much. They don’t always have to be packed with every superfood known man haha love ya!

[@poppycalliope]

We can get really into our heads when we spend too much time on social media. I try to spend way less time and it feels really good! Welcome back running Alia 👏❤️✨️ I don't like my smoothie too thick either!

[@susanlost7256]

I’m glad you’re being yourself now love. I miss your old content so much.

[@elinchristina]

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

[@MollysFootsteps]

ur so authentic i love it

[@sunnylady1946]

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

[@_varyyyya]

I understand you so much! No way you are alone ❤

[@MonicaChurch]

Aw I love that you go to Chelsi!!

[@Lynn-vz8yo]

Hi Alia! i wanted to say i enjoy your videos and the adventures you share with Yoni! It always makes me laugh. Keep creating your awesome content!❤

[@martacarvalhal2970]

i loved you in this video, you sound so happy and energized and it makes me so happy. hope you feel like this for the rest of the summer 💘

[@michala8239]

Omg I have missed seeing your personality so much throughout the vlogs! 🩵

[@stef1005]

you making the smoothie .. favorite mood of yours!

[@ajventures]

yesss I’m with u on the running season! For the smoothies, highly recommend adding dates (just like 2-3 depending on size) - it such a game changer! Also get the bananas almost over-ripe. These two will make it really sweet though so just balance it out (half banana & 2 dates for me) 😋

[@allthingschey]

the hair is the right decision queen, it looks soooo much more flattering!!!! also really proud of you for following your own gut/path!

[@priyankabhattacharya9771]

yesss thank you for bringing up that we choose the content we consume but definitely so hard to stop yourself as the impact on identity is incremental and you won't see it immediately after going on for example pinterest...also actually love this reddy-brown hair colour on you, makes your skin tone look warmer and flushed 💕

[@nehanakshatra]

I want to see your cooking videos🥹 that clip of you cooking lunch gave me so much joy !!!!

[@dannyhdz]

I love how much more comfortable you’ve gotten with vlogging around others- any tips? 💗

[@adriennehilll]

You are blessing us with so many uploads 🥹

[@Sakura-zu4rz]

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.

[@saadiquagasant9754]

This is so true ... I feel like I'm going through the same thing .. justvtrying to find the me I want to be ... I think more so after knocking on heavens doors literally.

[@ycan2195]

so nice to hear those things from you, it is only forward steps after realizing those things...

[@3casesbelly]

Love how you eat with colors & textures

[@DoeRaeMe]

Alia I just wanna see u❤ I fell in love with your first video EVER, and you’re the only creator I watch every second you drop, start to finish. There’s something about u that’s so relatable but so opposite of my life and your visual diaries of romanticizing the mundane has taught me how to enjoy simple things while focusing on self care, good eats, alone time, & effortless cool girl vibes etc! Never change for the internet-cause it’s YOU who’s special.!There’s only one Alia❤️

[@Cordeliia.x]

I love how you swayed away from saying “identity crisis” 😂😂. It is a phase and it will pass Alia, just stay true to yourself and even in those moments of confusion, take a step back away from the socials and just remember who you are and show up as her. Also remember that you can always have fun with changing your hair and style without necessarily feeling like you’re “changing” into someone else but rather look at it as trying something new, adding flavour I guess 😂. xx

[@Soy_Jomi]

I’m so happy that I found your channel 🧡✨

[@mamalisalife]

I love this! Literally going through the same girl…we got this 🤍

[@katewong1852]

Please never stop uploading vlogs like these 🥺♥️

[@saradwingham]

I totally understand your frustration/confusion on feeling content with yourself and the impression you give off. The consideration of outside influences definitely makes me overthink myself and how im perceived. Still working on this but I hope you find more contentment very soon

[@nokuthula.hlophe]

Just made my day. ❤ - all the way from South Africa 🇿🇦

[@beatrizneves304Youtube]

such an idol, an inspiration

[@saradwingham]

I absolutely love the ashy/light brown color on you it is by far my favorite

[@sabrinahy0324]

Haven’t watched your video, bUt I aLrEadY Like Your Mindset from the description! And I totaLLy resonated 💯 percent!❤🎉keep being reflective and free! And share!

[@nikkiep23]

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.

[@AnaMoShoshin]

Def always buy the whole fruit!! It's fresher, lasts longer and cuts out the unnecessary waste of the extra packaging.

[@myshowja2]

Love this video! It seems your already in a better mood when you realised what's botherting you such as phone and following others instead of following your desires

[@mariesurfeur9256]

I totally feel the same way as you do about the internet and stuff.

[@Lucillee.e]

When I am feeling like Ali at the beginning of this vlog and just feel overly stimulated from what I am consuming I will just delete all of my social media apps off my phone and honestly it takes me like 3-ish days and I start to feel like myself again

[@sheanaaaa]

i love your vlogs! keep going

[@JMusic2794]

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

[@nicolem9884]

Love your video Alia! I prefer buying the full piece of fruit and cutting it at home because the pre-cut fruit is always sooo expensive (and I hate how much plastic they use to store it in)!

[@teyciirbenkhadher2263]

I love the energy when you're making the smoothie 😂❤

[@naosvlog7606]

Your this version of hair is perfect and suit for you so much because of it give light to your face like sun

[@Seolhwaneul]

Darker hair really does suit you much more! You look glowing ❤ Can relate with the identity crisis somehow too, glad we’re not alone 😅

[@sonia-nz9kl]

honestly I had such a complex relationship with social media especially instagram and pinterest, I was always like "but I need it for inspiration" and okay, I've got a lot of it, but it only made me consume more in materialistic way and also recently I've thought that it's such a simple way to gain inspiration, that its almost too simple - it stops me from being creative from where I am at the moment, what do I see around me etc..

[@Myriam25mariam]

This color honey blonde brown roots I think is the best for your skin tones, beautiful eyes and suits you the most ❤️💗always so beautiful!!

[@lisaallaisagostinis8689]

thanks for this vlog 🌷

[@paugmzx]

cannons music in the car at the end!! fire for you alia!!!

[@danicalderon1973]

Speak it sista!!!! Seriously love your content because of how aligned it feels like I am with ur crises. Thanks for vocalizing them, cheers to these mf 20s 🕺🏻

[@linavitt]

the smoothie episode absolutely made my day

[@ikramboujemaaoui2822]

I think identity crisis is not even just about what we consume on social media, but what society shows us and compare us to I deleted my social medias 2 years ago and even without scrolling all day I still feel like I have a crisis with understanding who I really am and working it. But it’s really nice to know that we’re not alone in this 😂 i honestly think it goes away by time and we just find out who we really are by experimenting. Just keep on with sharing what you really like, I enjoy every video you post ❤! (Sorry if it’s too long)

[@DR-it9fm]

That was such a lovely time 😊!

[@JenniesWorldca]

I like my smoothie in-between. If it's too watery I feel like it's not as satisfying, and if it's too thick, it takes me forever to drink it.

[@Billy33753]

Happy spring 😊

[@pawanpreetboyal1885]

One of the best video of yours❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@rageena_b]

Really enjoyed watching this vlog!

[@nada58781]

This new hair color is amazing

[@khushisahoo7321]

Love you and your videos 🥰

[@saramarques7986]

Not only it's expensive to buy pre cut fruit, it's not always the freshest of the batch you get. Specially watermelon and melons as they have so much water and their taste comes out of the sweet juice, when you buy it already cut it's most of the time kind of drained of it's water, it dries. Try to buy fresh and cut it, let it sit 2 days in the fridge already cut. Eat one piece everyday and compare. It will eventually be lighter in colour because of the juice drying 😉 I always put a pinch of salt in all the food, specially sweets, it is the best to flavor and get the most of the food. Btw, smoothie is always the simplest the better and end adding mint leaves or basil or dill, or lemon or orange peel. It's always good 👍

[@sonachez1468]

Hahah I hope everyone agrees that best part of alia’s vlogs is when she tastes good with soooo much passion 😂❤

[@Jibril_Abdulkadir]

🩶🩶 great video I always get in my thoughts as well just to be gracious with yourself

[@amishamehta9118]

Love u r vlogs ❤You just be you ❤we love u in everyway❤

[@sofialmeida9611]

Love your videos ❤

[@abbyfiscu8149]

Yass! Love the videos 💜

[@kimhaelyun3318]

I felt good just by watching it

[@adrianavelazquezlopez7969]

HAAHAHA loved the mood you were in while making the smoothie

[@vanillasweetcream]

i love your vibe making the smoothie LOL

[@swangxswang]

I am LOVING the longer vlogs Alia!! Can I ask what camera you're using for the wide angle/fisheye shots??

[@kowtherburhan]

I second this!! Longer vlogs ❤

[@pawanpreetboyal1885]

Feels like a literal movie

[@user-bt4uz5qj5y]

u made my day

[@Cevin.]

I get the fresh watermelon for all the reasons you mentioned Alia, PLUS you save SO much more money buying a whole one (Some people cannot afford to buy the pre-cut watermelon in order to feed a certain amount of servings)

[@mjam07]

I feel like you’d love Miro Tea in Ballard! They have some amazing seasonal drinks - Strawberry Supernova is my fave. Also their matcha is authentic & honestly the best in Seattle imo :))

[@PalomaMaria856]

My favorite KZbinr 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽

[@Ajoy1010]

Just popping in to say this made my day 🫶🏼

[@yess6998]

I only buy the fresh/whole fruit. The fresh watermelon tastes better (most of the time) but the main reason I don't buy cut up fruit is because it's always in a plastic container or plastic wrapper and I want to use as little plastic as possible.
