[@nabela]

MY FRIEND I MISSED YOU AND YOUR WONDERFUL FAMILY! 💖 welcome back to the east coast, beautiful! 😉

[@jeahavvalentin980]

I'm glad that their son is making a lot of progressive!

[@AlexRodriguez-bu5tq]

[@LoveYouSomeLisa]

+alex gonzalez i had no idea her son had autism.. my son is 8 and is autistic and he was non verbal until age 4. he still has a longgg way to go but just keep up with speech therapy and it will happen over time.

[@HellNotesForBeauty]

+alex gonzalez I hope you can find the answers you're looking for. Food is very instrumental and Alba has been doing a good job with providing tips. Hopefully she can elaborate more and help mothers like yourself out more. Happy 2016!

[@AlexRodriguez-bu5tq]

+CurlsINtheMaking thank u so much

[@AlexRodriguez-bu5tq]

+Hell Notes For Beauty thank u and happy 2016 to u too 😊

[@manuelramos5068]

I hope all goes well on your journey. It's not easy but I feel we do not get what we can't handle in life. We will try to be as transparent as possible with our journey and hope to learn from people like you guys. These beautiful children are our future leaders.

[@TysheenOrane]

I'm from Brooklyn and I want to say *WELCOME BACK TO NEW YORK* and now we have to try to get Maya and Raye Raye back here. lol

[@jeahavvalentin980]

I'm glad she's back in New York City

[@darlingmoon003]

Yes, I agree. Also, the franchised nerds to come back.

[@alishainc]

I love your reference to The Alchemist. It was so beautiful. I listened to the audiobook because I'm legally blind. It touched my heard that you spoke about the beauty of the journey. I was struggling with that for the first four years of losing my vision, I was fixated on a cure. There is none. I didn't want to think about my disease, identify with it, anything unless a cure or treatment was involved. Now my focus has changed and I see the beauty is the struggle. It makes it a little easier now that I'm more present and positive.

[@HollaDaBalla]

+Alisha's Guide is that you in your channel?

[@alishainc]

Hala K. yes

[@HollaDaBalla]

+Alisha's Guide you have a new subscriber :)

[@HollaDaBalla]

+Alisha's Guide You are beautiful. You seem like you are also beautiful on the inside :) honestly, I asked if it was you because I would not have known that you are blind if i had watched your videos before reading your comment. Peace, love and happiness

[@alishainc]

Hala K. Thank you for your love!!! I hide it very well. Stargardt's Disease affects my central vision so I'm grateful I can still 'look' normal and navigate my world like a full sighted person

[@dianachamomile]

Love how supportive and close your family is! For your husband to be so determined on vlogging with you, that's a sweet thing! Congrats on your big move, your health shift, and the progress with your son

[@Ag4forever]

You guys are really great parents

[@manuelramos5068]

Thank you very much.

[@Lildaquerri3]

+Manuel Ramos I need your help getting back to a healthy state!! please lol

[@Jasmillmelisa]

Manny is so rare, there are so many guys who do not care about that stuff at all, healthy eating, having a stable mind and being spiritual!!! I want a guy like that has those values so badly....! You guys are both pisces too right!! such a beautiful, spiritual and amazing connection i bet!

[@UKCurlyGirl]

Missed seeing you on my subscriptions feed! Glad your back look forward to more vlogs :) x

[@lillybobbie4579]

Alba, I honestly admire your family and their values. Growing up in a Pacific Islander culture, family is such a big thing and hearing that at Christmas everyone slept over that is soo cool. So many people worry about where everyone is going to sleep but everyone can just crash anywhere. LOLs I know it's abit random but having family is so important and many people take it for granted. Just so excited for you guys and am supporting you all the way. God bless you always xxxxx

[@shannonedison3671]

You guys are such a beautiful family. Please continue showing the love you have for each other. Peace and Blessings.

[@trophiedouglas]

Such a beautiful family! Great parents!

[@eVaniwithaV]

The Alchemist is one of the best books of all time! Finding the balance in life is what life is all about! God bless!

[@15chioma]

I am so inspired by the love you guys have for your son. It warms my heart to see how dedicated you guys are to providing the best care for your son & doing everything you can to make sure his progress continues.

[@CTwenty7]

You two exude positivity! I'm so happy you guys are back and doing well.

[@HayleyAlexis]

SUCH A beautiful family. You guys are so supportive :D

[@genamorris50]

Awwww! So happy for you both and for your son. Such a blessing. So glad to see you all back where you feel happiest.

[@latoyaajohnson]

I love you all! I've been on KZbin since 2010 and you inspire me to pick up my camera again. I love the simplicity and realness of your videos. Many blessings to your son and his continued healing.

[@teddy1p]

Hey miss Alba, I just wanted to thank you. You uploaded this video which prompted me to start watching some off your old vids that I hadn't seen for whatever reason. I have been dealing with itchy scalp recently and breakage in the same spot but upon watching one of your older vids(not too old) you mentioned Rosemary oil and peppermint oil, which I had among a few others and let me tell you itching have been replaced to a wonderful tingle and I am taking your hair growth challenge. I've always been using the same oils but get lazy sometimes but I'm giving myself until the end of June to see results because I'm a year natural because I keep cutting off my hair at a certain length but this is it, no more cutting. Thank you again for your advice.

[@sherwood9917]

I love how dedicated you both are to your son. I really like your blog; you guys seem like genuinely nice people. All the very best to little Manny.

[@ELLE-yg6lk]

I cannot express enough how beautiful your family is. It warms my heart to see you both so involved in little Manny's life and his health. I don't know what it's like to have a relative with autism, but I am studying early childhood education and I've learned so much in the past couple of years. I admire you for all that you do. Thank you for giving us a glimpse of your lives and sharing with others. It's amazing that you both are spreading awareness. I love your vlogs! Can't wait to see more :)

[@89rebel]

I love how dedicated you two are to your son. I love how supportive Manny is to Alba. And Alba, you can see she only has eyes for him.

[@Tas--]

Manuel is so nice and charming. You're lucky Alba, you guys are a beautiful couple ❤️

[@serenesista]

You guys are my kick in the butt out of depression. I've been super depressed this month. And every time I get this way I just eat horribly. Thanks for being so cool. Really needed this vlog. Welcome back to New York!

[@monicathompson5295]

I've never seen a husband so involved in his wife's videos, I love it😊

[@Fabulafricana]

love the energy of your hubby it balances your calm energy, beautiful couple and family

[@bybrittfranklin]

You guys are so laid back and chill. I love that about your vlogs. The aura permeates and is matched between you two. My mom says I'm the same way and she has no idea how in a family of chaos and stress I manage to be so calm and positive most of the time. Don't change! Manny Jr is so lucky to have you guys as parents.

[@helloloopie]

And...wonderful to hear about Manny's progress, and your move to upstate. So excited for you both!

[@mbella9518]

Mark my words, ALBA is glowing. She is definitely preggers! Congrats!!!

[@Monimaci1122]

You 3 are truly an inspiration ; Bless your beautiful family thank you for sharing as much as you do .

[@nathaliefischerx3]

Yayyy so excited for more vlogs, hope to see you soon!

[@Gloriaa02]

You guys make me see life differently! I'm excited to join you on this journey & CANT WAIT FOR BABY ALBA ON THE WAY && Happy New year xx

[@DeliaRivera]

love it!! looking forward to the vlogs! I loved the reference! Family and enjoying life is definitely what is most important!

[@LadyRosso]

Aww this was so cute specially litte Manny's intro to the video. Much love thanks again guys.

[@uchejadore]

What a beautiful family, Happy New Year.

[@LindsayXo]

Loved this girl!! You are stunning !! 🙌💕

[@emeraldc83]

So glad to hear your son is doing better. You opened my eyes to so much about autism. Also you and Manny seem so much more relaxed and happy in New York. Congratulations

[@LaurenWaringDouglas]

1) Manny what is the name of the stuff you said that you chew in the morning? 2) you two are so brave to announce that you're prepping for baby #2! many blessings and remember you don't owe us an answer for everything! I love when you guys post, it doesn't matter how long it takes!

[@manuelramos5068]

1) Chlorella 2) thank you for being so nice and putting up with my mumbling. My beautiful wife deserves all credit for these videos.

[@rwilson7019]

+Manuel Ramos what kind of vitamin d are you guys using? I was supplementing with Fish oil until I found out there were potential health risks with that. I want a quality one, but it feels a bit daunting to find one.

[@Aundra]

You guys are so positive. God bless all of you !

[@Jammin1288]

Its funny because when you moved to CA I thought you could have gotten the same serenity by going Upstate. Glad you found a balance between being in the environment you need and being near family. Welcome back!

[@Jasmineshante3]

I always feel so inspired watching your vlogs/videos .

[@FineNaturalHairandFaith]

You have a beautiful family! Welcome back :-) My son has CP and epilepsy and its a constant struggle. Honestly I'd live no where else. Forget the entertainment and all that other stuff. We have the best medical care and services of anywhere.

[@jennifermarie5328]

Have you tried a ketogenic diet for your son? It is great for treating epilepsy and many other disorders.

[@manuelramos5068]

Thanks! And you are right, it is not easy at all. If there was one diet I would tell everyone to Improve their health, it would be Ketogenic. I also heard lots of success with cbd oil and epilepsy.

[@FineNaturalHairandFaith]

Manuel Ramos Jennifer Marie I've not heard of this diet. I will research it. My son was just hospitalized and discovered he now also has kidney stones. One of his seizure meds can be a contributor..

[@jennifermarie5328]

Fine Natural Hair and Faith oh I'm so sorry to hear that. Yes, please look into it. Most doctors and big pharma don't want people to know about this diet because it heals all kinds of illnesses (especially epilepsy & cancer) and they cannot make money selling their drugs. It might sound like a crazy diet when you first read about it because it is everything we have been told NOT to do, but it really is amazing! My whole family has been eating keto for years and we've never been healthier! Best of luck. Sending love from Hawaii :)

[@FineNaturalHairandFaith]

oh thanks so much for sharing that Jennifer Marie It did a quick google search. It sounds like the Atkins diet. I read however that you shouldn't do it with kidney problems so I'm reluctant to try it for my son but I need to lose some poundage and get out of my pre-diabetic state so I'll research further. thank you again!

[@kxh3027]

I love you guys. So inspirational on many levels. Thanks for opening up your lives to help others!

[@aniew02]

I Love the life that you guys are about! Well at least what you share with the Internet! Come visit Chitown, it's nice big city, a more low key NY. If you do please do a meet up, it would be an honor to meet you all. The alchemist is such an important book, I encourage everyone to read it!! I just know you two will continue down your path to health and a spiritual wealth, maktub!

[@cs4703]

Happy New Year..Thanks for sharing so much of your family life. I'm glad that everything is going well. Blessings much Love!

[@sierraanderson9636]

Alba you are giving such positive vibes. I can tell you're so much happier now. Welcome back to the east coast (:

[@kellys4889]

Missed ur videos! I totally agree- I was born & raised in NY but I could never live there again. Too much stress & negativity everywhere. So glad to hear about little Manny progressing, and so glad to hear about baby planning!! Alba u are so blessed to have a husband who actually CARES about health. My husband blows me off when I try to talk to him about that kind of stuff lol. Most guys do. Manny maybe you should post more videos to male viewers on why you chose to lead your family in this health journey as the head of your household. God bless u guys!

[@amazoniao]

Alba, your such an amazing graceful woman. I will follow your journey. God bless this precious familie.

[@larissacharmit1298]

So happy for little Manny's progress! Congrats guys stay blessed

[@JustMe-pw6ql]

So happy you have found Balance & a stress free environment to enjoy life xx

[@mysonruns]

So glad to see you guys! So happy you're back on the east coast! You all seem so much happier. Manny got so big! Can't wait to see what you do in 2016!

[@GingerChung2014]

Awesome video. I like that you tell viewers that you can have your beliefs and not try to force your belief onto others.

[@LOLA95918]

I'm so glad you guys moved back to New York you guys look very cheerful and happy...

[@helloloopie]

Keep the tree up and no apologies for it...Christmas is a beautiful celebration. Let your heart be light. Keep the warmth of the season going... xo

[@jaz1elise]

Glad you're back in New York! Good explanation of moving to upstate New York, instead of being in the city. I'm glad you all are doing what's best for your lives. Love the analogy for the story, Manny! Congrats on another baby!! Looking forward to more vlogs this year.

[@ScarlesCorner]

Awee you guys are amazing I'm glad you're back in NYC

[@Jobella12]

You have such a beautiful family Alba! I have a one year old now (last time i saw you at IMATS was like in 2013) and i know now how much a child changes your life. You guys are doing great! He's absolutely adorable.

[@UmOwlad]

[@Lhickson227]

I think it's beautiful the way you guys are soo devoted to each other and your baby boy. The healthy lifestyle has done you well but also just remember to breathe and take it easy , being so strict with everything can be stressful just in itself. Love you guys 🖐🏻

[@biancaalmedina6610]

Can't wait to see all of the new vlogs to come! And congratulations on your decision to try for another baby, best of luck!

[@grrrfran]

[@andreinabarthly8543]

So happy you guys will be back with more videos. Looking forward to it!!

[@HeyAllie]

Glad to see you're feeling settled and happy. So amazing about little Manny too! Are you going to Chicago to see Dr. Mercola? I live in the Chicago suburbs and there are so many great Drs and naturopaths here! Good luck on your journey.

[@jenniferchoto1012]

You guys are amazing, God Bless, thank you for sharing!!!

Looking forward to more of you all. Smile!

[@Motherhood1]

hey you guys! you're back! alba I am 3 months pregnant for the first time and I would love to see you blog more about mommy stuff! what we really need for newborns, how you dealt with certain things with your first baby, basically a recap of what you learned and what you may do different with this new baby. Im so excited for you guys! I wish to see more blogs soon! xo

[@LilyellaLondon]

So happy for you both/all! Looking forward to the blogs to come - No Pressure Alba :)

[@hahasarcasim]

Happy New Year, Happy one year anniversary, and I'm glad you guys are happy back in New York. I commend you on your focus and love for little Manny to fight against autism. You are going a great job. My best friends son had Autism and it's a tough subject for her to talk about and reach out about. I wish you all great health.

[@zoe77able]

You guys are so down to earth, I love it!

[@cardiac711]

I'm glad you're back. HNY to you and your family.

[@jmouzooni]

Such a sweet and beautiful family!

[@lgirls2755]

I can't wait for you guys to come to Chicago! Look me up, lol! You guys are so wonderful, I'm glad you guys found a solution to help little Manny and be with your family. I've been wanting to pick up and leave Chicago, but it's scary to do and not know anyone where you go. Keep inspiring!

[@charmaineblake5020]

Yes!!! being healthy before you conceive is extremely important...a lot of people are unaware of the importance...I've always said that is what I will do before conceiving.

[@camilleona68]

So proud of you guys on your journey not only with yourselves but your son as well...Little Manny will continue to surprise you everyday of his life even with Autism...he will continue to grow and flourish and you both will see the changes...😊 God bless you!!!!

[@chelchelviathou3944]

You guys are truly an inspiration I love watching "about that life". When I grow up I want to be like you :).

[@sosakr]

Dear Alba, You are everything I aspire to be as a mother in the future. I'm 22, and I won't be having kids for a while, but I'm so inspired by the maturity, grace, and resourcefulness you display. Manny Sr. is so similar to my amazing boyfriend, and we love watching your videos and watching you grow! Little Manny is such a beautiful bundle, and he's so blessed by the big guy upstairs to have you two. I read "Love Does" by Bob Goff (with the free audible start-up code) and it helped me open my eyes to the truth behind a lot of things recently that I ALMOST let get the best of me. You probably read hundreds of comments a week, and if you never read mine, I'm letting God know I want him to shed some Vitamin D on your family. I've learned so much about health, life, beauty, and compassion from your channel, and I want you to know that whenever you feel stressed or overwhelmed: You matter, and you're making a difference in the world- if only mine! Peace, Love & Abundance!

[@Mrs.AlbaRamos]

+Kris Sosa God Bless you for sending me such a sweet comment like this and Im so happy to know that at such a young age you have a good man by your side and a good head on your shoulders. Unfortunately we are seeing less and less of these values especially in young people and it usually takes a person to hit rock bottom before they realize what true life priorities should be and what god has already placed before us. BTW my husband came across your comment and he took a screenshot of it and text it to me so that I can reply to you. and Yes Love Does is such an awesome book to be inspired by in a positive way. Im glad youve taken advantage of the free Audible Code, Thanks! Believe it or not comments like yours and people like you inspire me everyday. I feel blessed to have such amazing viewers who see things the same way I do. Were not alone :)

[@sosakr]

[@VastiaPascale]

Yassss YOU'RE back. I have been hype ever since I saw that. You guys are great to watch and great period. I've missed you guys. I pray everything continues to be wonderful in your life you seem WAY happier! I'm happy little manny is doing great. I have been slacking on comments. 🙈😂

[@MommieLu]

you guys are so awesome! thanks for sharing your life

[@AlanaHubbard]

Happy New Year and blessings to you both as you move forward in your lives!! Lil Manny is adorable and you both have done so well with him!! Can't wait to continue to watch your journey!!

[@AGirlLikeMEIsRare]

I missed watching you guys vlogs. This vlog went by fast. At the end of the video I was like noooo it's just getting started.

[@35ATeacher]

You guys are awesome! I originally started watching your videos for curly hair tips but now I'm hooked on learning more about your lives. I'm obsessed with natural living and have removed many toxins from our lives. My next step is to find medication alternatives (i.e. daily allergy meds and acid reflux). Are you both working with naturopaths or holistic healers or a different avenue?

[@manuelramos5068]

Thank you so much. Yes we have worked with naturopaths, homeopaths, chiropractors, and MD's. We will try to show and talk on the things we've already done.

[@cfoxy3]

+Manuel Ramos Try switching your MD's with DO's... DO's are MD's that incorporate chiropractic work with MD's work and as well as holistic healing...just a suggestion.

[@eczentricbird4330]

+cfoxy3 What does DO stand for? Thanks in advance.

[@cfoxy3]

+Eczentric Bird DO = Doctor of osteopathic medicine :)

[@rossieili]

You're back !!!! You give me life

I love how you guys keep it real! Great update
