Thank you for all of your kind comments! 😭😭 So excited to be creating more content and take you all on the journey with me! 💗

[@ElifNurMuhammad]

You deserve all the good, Allah bless you

[@laibakhan3769]

Hey Amanda.. would love a video about -Tips and trick you learned during marketing for new bloggers -How do you plan things on your google calender -Wedding prep as an arab/palestian😊 -Tips about saving while being a blogger( collab with leena!)😊😊😊😊

[@taramisu1483]

Laiba Khan I second this !!!! 👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼

[@khouloud7606]

I agree 👌

[@tmathere9996]

Who’s really happy because Amanda’s happy ! Can’t wait to see what you’ll accomplish in the future and so excited that we’ll be seeing more of you now. 💕

[@sistersalima6829]

Seeing you support your sister makes me so happy. That's what sisterhood is all about 👊🏾

[@dounial5074]

I don't know why but you look scared to annoncing this ... it's your life and to be happy is what matters

[@leena8192]

First leena now amanda😱didn’t know vlogging paid so well

[@KNatsheh]

Alia Leena stopped nursing? I didn't know 😮

[@leena8192]

Dima yes a while back

[@salma31000]

@@KNatsheh yes I was wondering if leena was still working ... hummmm

[@leilabelhaichar1489]

Can You please tell me in which video did Leena Mention that she stopped nursing?

[@Peoplehatethetruth]

leila belhaichar Amanda said it in this video as well

[@amjadal485]

Heyy Amanda 💗💗 u know it would be great if u can include your daily prayers in the vlog. It would be sooo beneficial to ur subscribers because it would remind them of god and the after life. Not actually filming ur self praying but like saying now I'm gonna pray asr or something or filming itself doing wudhu. Like it would be something between u and God as a deed that u are reminding of prayer and encouraging it. And I think because now people watch a lot of vlogs of certain lifestyles and they think it represents the whole actual 24 hour day of that person and it would be sooooo great if prayer is incorporated. I hope this comment does come across the wrong way. Much love ❤️

[@maalikah295]

I literally had a strong feeling that this was coming !!!

[@esm1421]

Maalikah mee 2. İ was like “how she post every other day and go to full time job”

[@naj8872]

Wow! Took the words right out of my mouth as this is exactly how I feel! When you’re cooped up in an office for 8-9 hours all day and start thinking of what you actually want to do/could be doing. So proud of you and happy for your next journey!

[@caitlynv1167]

YAY! Good for you, girl! I know exactly what you mean about having a corporate job and "not being able to leave". I have a position that fluctuates between busy times and slow times, and it's so hard during the slow days not to stress about all the things I could (and need) to do outside of the office but I can't, because I'm stuck at the office! Would love to transition to working for myself, but that's just not an option right no, so I'm super excited to follow your journey and live vicariously through you instead, haha!!

[@missysj7970]

Good for you Amanda. It takes courage to take a risk and be your own boss. Mabrook! May Allah ﷻ bless your journey. 👏🏻❤️😊

[@iCALLthisLOVE]

My dream is to quit my job and pursue my life like this

[@ElifNurMuhammad]

Me too, i'd love to quit my job and have my own business or start vlogging

[@IllusiveDude]

I heard ASMR Videos arr a hot new genre. What's better than earning money whispering to a microphone?

[@sysf9772]

Mashallah I'm happy that you are making good decision & that is working for you , I'm here from the beginning & I know how much hard work you do I appreciate you with my whole heart & I'm excited to see more contents 💝💝💝

[@Anna-hg3yq]

So proud of you and so excited for you! Could you and Leena make a video about what it’s like working together or like a vlog series together? Would be so excited to see that I love you both so much ❤️😊

[@sherryidibo2304]

Working on your own and being your own boss is the best thing ..good luck Amanda.

[@warffxfreak]

Can't wait to see more content

[@numberone22459]

Amanda you so much like your dad! You are just a red head version of him. Loved your video

[@owliealim745]

At the beginning you sounded like you said my name is "samantha" I was like hold up! I'm I watching the wrong person?👀..lol!..you're lovely Amanda!

[@freckledfacediva]

I am soooo proud of you taking a Leap of faith and following your gutt. May Allah bless you on this journey! You are inspiring us all !

[@Welcome657]

So crazy! I started watching you on your very first upload because of Leena. It’s really cool to see the risk you’ve decided to take. It’s never easy but it can be really worth it ♥️ can’t wait to watch you and your video grow.

[@user-zt7yh8nl3r]

I’m so happy you’re happy I’ve been an fan of u every since Leena told us you’re making a KZbin video! You’re so beautiful mashallah and inshallah this new job gives you success and positivity!

[@kayoo9083]

So excited for more of your content! ❤️ Absolutely love your what I eat in a day videos!

[@nadakaba7748]

Happy for you Amanda I love your content and hope to see more now that you are full time blogger 🤩🤩 I think it’s great that you are focusing on this now and also it’s great to see you working with Leena 💪🏻💪🏻❤️

[@schoolwork232]

Hi Amanda...I was surprised to see that you quit your job but after hearing your explanation for it, I just want to say congratulations! I am happy for you! If you already have figured out what you want to do with your life away from your regular job and have the support to meet your needs then go for it. The life we have is beautiful and we need to always take chances when we can. As you said, change is a general aspect of life and if we do not accept it we shall never experience the joys that await us. I really wish you all the best in life and success in your vlogging career together with Leena even as you continue doing freelance work! You are an inspiration! God bless you! :)

[@sophieweber1930]

I wish you lots of success in your new work life and I totally agree. Though the reality and possibilities of working might be different from country to country, I think in the US same as here in Germany there are so many free workplaces that you can always go back when you want to and in your case the chances are even better as the social media and digital marketing branche is growing permanently these years. Still do what makes you happy, only this way you'll be productive. I think most of the people following you are standing behind you and your decision! :)

[@taramisu1483]

Garlic that’s already peeled for you!? That’s a dream 🌈 lol but yeah, Amanda!!! I’m so proud of you girl -Don’t let the anxiety in, you are exactly where Allah wants you, may he continue to bless you with prosperity in every aspect of your life much love habibty ❤️

[@a.m.7286]

Congrats Amanda on this new change! You and your sisters exude a natural beauty from the inside out that is refreshing. Love your content and it’s personally helped me organize my life and inspired to live healthier. Will you consider making a video on any tips for budgeting for aspiring bloggers? (Like budgeting for professional photographers, outfits, etc.)

[@vidamia888]

Hi Amanda, I truly admire that you quit your corporate job to pursue your dreams and goals and other career opportunities. How did you do it? I am conflicted at the moment because I truly dislike my job, I am not happy there, and it is a new job, I’ve been there a month… I want to quit but I can’t because I have financial obligations. I see you are living on your own, how do you manage to stay afloat financially not having an 8 to 5 job?

[@SZ-lk3pi]

Honestly, since you have experience and a degree, I think you’re set. It’s cool that you’re putting a lot of effort into KZbin.. when people get big they start lacking but you’ve stayed so consistent!!!

[@ElifNurMuhammad]

MashaAllah, proud of you. Stay positive always , may Allah bless you and your family 🌹

[@Sarah-Legacy]

I am currently in college and about to go to university this coming fall. I am comforted in the knowledge that there are people who don't use their degree in the most obvious manner. I don't want to use the degree that I am working towards in the most conventional way for the rest if my life. I would be bored as heck. So, knowing that there there are people who are taking a different route, like I want to, is pretty cool. It is also a perk to know that with the degree you earn, that at any point, you could find a job, which my degree would allow, too. It is your life and I commend you for taking charge and making tough decisions that, in the long run, you believe will be better for your life. Not many people have that strong will to make a change.

[@simran6382]

Can you tell which degree or major you're working towards

[@Sarah-Legacy]

@@simran6382 Sure! I am going for my Bachelor's of Arts in Accounting. Then afterwards getting my CPA license to be a certified accountant and be able to do accounting for corporations, small businesses, private clients, or my own business. I plan on working as an actual accountant for a few years, for experience, but I do not want to be an accountant for the rest if my life.

[@simran6382]

@@Sarah-Legacy best of luck, may Allah fulfil all your endeavours ♥️

[@FaithTheGreatt]

I love your day vlogs! I’m a social media manager and I feel you when you said you were working all morning but felt nothing got done LOL

[@cookiesheikh]

Aww Amanda, so excited for you! Just a little bummed because the main reasons I liked your videos is because I found them really relatable since I’m your age and work a corporate job

[@lmc2375]

Try Chinese acupuncture. I pulled an intercoastal muscle once; couldn't walk, sit, stand or lay down without pain and it affects breathing too. I suffered a week then went to my Dr of CH medicine for acupuncture. I left restored 99.9% only bc I was sore from bracing myself for every movement the week long - didn't notice it for the other pain, until the worst was lifted. I cannot say enough about acupuncture. My ER doctor said it would take 3 to 6 mos to heal. That was BS. Only if you don't do acupuncture. Too painful to let linger. Found another way. Wishing you a full shoulder recovery.

[@jasminekincaid9936]

Yes how to get started would be great if love to blog and utube about my munchkin and Persian cats and kittens. This is Yasaameen that works clinic with your mom. Also I wanted to say all 3 of y'all are beautiful and smart and I'm so proud of y'all.

You've got to watch Ascia's curly hair routine, it's going to change your hair dramatically! Your hair is so beautiful msA, but I think it can make it better, because it did to my hair ❤

Salaam Amanda! Disclaimer: i dropped this idea on Leena's video too but i watched yours first. I love that you and Leena are working together. Mashallah what a special time! I follow all three of you and you all offer such different vibes! i love it! I know yall are struggling to label your new role with Leena. She seems hesitant to call you assistant but what about chief of staff????...I have been an executive assistant before and my boss always joked and called me Chief of Staff. "Run it by the chief..." just a thought!

[@tanishamcginn8738]

Hi Amanda, if you are working on your computer a lot and you already have shoulder pain, I think you would benefit from a more ergonomic set up. I'm an Occupational Therapist and do many ergonomic assessments. Working from home is great; however a poor ergonomic set up can lead to muscle fatigue and other issues. Definitely worth looking into. Best of luck in your new work!

[@aliahgapor6489]

i really love your videos & i love hearing your thoughts on everything. so happy for you amanda! cant wait to see more contents from you♡♡♡

I was going to say aren’t you scared about the flow of money considering how unstable earnings from KZbin are but I forget that you can get paid promotions etc that can tie you over for ages

That’s amazing Amanda that you pursued what you are good at and are able to support yourself with social media jobs. And what a great opportunity to learn and work with Leena. She is amazingly hardworking I have been following her for a long time. I would love to know how to find a side hustle as managing someone’s social media and social Media marketing. Looking for a second job to support my family. Thanks so much ❤️

Can you please film how you got into blogging on Instagram, maybe like a beginners way to start a fashion blog on Instagram? ♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@annamariazachou4858]

You could have maybe like a part time job! I don't know how much KZbin offers but is it enough to pay for all of your bills? And what about health insurance and pension? I'm just wondering if your marriage has to do with all these.. Don't get me wrong! I just believe that every person should have always a backup and not depend on others.. I'm happy if you're happy, it's just my opinion!

[@AmandaAsad]

Anna Maria Zachou my future marriage doesn’t have anything to do with this and I mentioned everything I’m doing for work in the beginning. Doing what’s best for me 💗

Will you be doing freelance social media management for other people? Or is it just for Leena right now?
