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?

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.

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 ❤

[@yeliahng32]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@kozlikgg]

this chaotic energy in the smoothie part is my favourite

[@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

[@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

[@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🌻🩷

[@JMusic2794]

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

[@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.

[@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!!

[@valentinadevera9543]

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

[@giannafine]

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.

[@sunnyladyua]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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

[@elinchristina]

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

[@susanlost7256]

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

[@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!

[@MollysFootsteps]

ur so authentic i love it

[@Iambornique_]

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

[@ineesmouraa]

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

[@mariesurfeur9256]

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

[@swangxswang]

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

[@studiokowther]

I second this!! Longer vlogs ❤

[@_varyyyya]

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

[@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❤️

[@mic2000-y]

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

[@linavitt]

the smoothie episode absolutely made my day

[@3casesbelly]

Love how you eat with colors & textures

[@paugmzx]

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

[@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

[@naosvlog7606]

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

[@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 👍

[@lolagonzalezc]

I love how you always show yourself vulnerable, like showing that you are just another girl with the same problems that we all have🖤 and all of these internet overstimulation is SO true! thanks for sharing your feelings, it make us feel less alone hahah 😊 love from Chile🫶

[@suechang508]

Alia reading choco-late is so relatable 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I wouldve read it like that too!

[@MonicaChurch]

Aw I love that you go to Chelsi!!

[@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 💕

[@AnaMoShoshin]

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

[@onigutza]

It says “Choco latte”… oh, chocolate! 🤣

[@adriennehilll]

You are blessing us with so many uploads 🥹

[@nada58781]

This new hair color is amazing

[@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 💘

[@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

[@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

[@adrianavelazquezlopez7969]

HAAHAHA loved the mood you were in while making the smoothie

[@dannyhdz]

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

[@PalomaMaria856]

My favorite KZbinr 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽

[@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

[@beatrizneves304Youtube]

such an idol, an inspiration

[@nokuthula.hlophe]

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

[@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.

[@aftersunliv]

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..

[@aurelputri1101]

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

[@shethemoment6957]

This was such a lovely vlog really enjoyed it x

[@ycan2195]

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

[@shockcafe]

no room for the frozen broccoli but no question there is room for the oatly cups hahaha i love it

[@nehanakshatra]

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

[@francescaquaranta8534]

rooting for your dark hair!!!!!!!

[@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!

[@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.

[@Rich_Coconut]

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

[@sonachez1468]

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

[@katewong1852]

Please never stop uploading vlogs like these 🥺♥️

[@stef1005]

you making the smoothie .. favorite mood of yours!

[@saradwingham]

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

[@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)!

[@rickislife]

when you’re filming while driving my anxiety is always so high.. please drive safely 🥺

[@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

[@Soy_Jomi]

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

[@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)

[@RebeccaABeaudoin]

Love this for you! Thank you for the joy

[@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)

[@Lifeeewithsabrina]

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!

[@vanillasweetcream]

i love your vibe making the smoothie LOL

[@TheHannahPatrice]

i hope you thank God every day for your skin

[@x.lili.x4699]

Agree, don‘t want to waste plastic and it‘s fresher!!

[@dickieelitetraining6769]

You are a gorgeous beautiful lady. Just be you . God created you for you to shine. We want to learn from you not you copy of other people. We here to love ourselves not others. We appreciate others but don’t copy others

[@sheanaaaa]

i love your vlogs! keep going

[@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) 😋

[@mamalisalife]

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

[@pawanpreetboyal1885]

Feels like a literal movie

[@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 😅

[@dineliperera2668]

I'm from Sri Lanka! so happy to hear you'll eating our food

[@kimhaelyun3318]

I felt good just by watching it

[@yaaraisraeli2004]

Your skin looks amaziiing can you do a skincare routine vid??❤

[@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!❤

[@kayla7665]

Revamping your style or who you want to be is something I think we all struggle with. But for you, plz do not worry about if you think we won't like your new look, or the way you film. Honestly just plz continue putting out videos. My favorite KZbinrs don't even post videos anymore and I think it's for the same reason your feeling. They don't know what to post or if it's good enough. I say just post it regardless❤

[@teyciirbenkhadher2263]

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

[@renee_es]

I buy the uncut watermelon/fruits, because they’re cheaper and much fresher :) (Papaya is the only one I tend to buy pre-cut in half, because I can never tell from the outside when its ripe)

[@wanjam-uz8lp]

your videos make me so happy, thank you

[@elnkbufr]

this vlog is so good i love you 💕

[@yunitaaudrina]

I like when you cooking and eat Alia We need more eat and cooking like ur old video so classy and satisfying to see u eating and cooking 🙏🏽✨❤

[@Jibril_Abdulkadir]

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

[@beckyllama900]

I think this video is what I needed 😭❤️❤️

[@taytebrown7004]

smoothie alia is everything

[@CH-sw1bg]

I LOVE watermelon! 🍉 Say no to the precut ones in plastic! I always tend to pick the juiciest sweetest ones. The secret is to *listen* to it. Yes, LISTEN. Give a watermelon a nice tap and it should feel a bit hallow as opposed to full (like full of water). If you have 2 watermelons about the same size, the one that feels lighter should be sweeter because the heavier one is mostly water weight so it probably won't be as sweet. Maybe I have a gift but I have never picked a bad one!

[@kat1ha]

the smoothie segment was ✨the best✨ i laughed so much haha
