If you're looking to go deeper into each topic of the Dream Life Series, check out the Create Your Dream Life Course! 🌻 lavendaire.com/dreamlife It's the first ever Lavendaire course! - A six-week, interactive program to help you discover your true potential, release your fears & make your dream life a reality. Just like the Dream Life Series, it features the different aspects of creating your dream life (with worksheets, exercises, and journaling prompts), but the course is more structured and detailed, with a guided experience. Essentially, it's the next step up from the series! PLUS: It's been over a year since I created the Dream Life Series, so I've personally learned so much more about life and the artist of life journey. I'll be sharing those new exclusive insights in the course, so don't miss out!

[@RhodaSolomon]

Oh .... Lavendaire I don’t know who I am or what I wanna b and I’m 13🥺

[@elaynaparandi7512]

My mission in life: I want to use my creativity to bring new energy into the world and spark inspiration in others.

[@marinavivian9383]

And how do you want to do that?

[@lovepeaceisneverguaranteed7385]

So whats your motivation in that?

[@batoolosama8790]

Excited to get that spark❤️❤️ Keep on going! Never give up! The world needs your help and creativity!!!

[@margiesvanmori]

That's a beautiful mission! I love that. Do you feel like you were able to pursue that?

[@vertheer]

"Use what you have" I love it so much, because I was always like "oh, if only I had this or that skill I could change my life" but now it clicked in my mind, that I already have the tools! I just have to identify them and use them! thank you so much for this series, Aileen

[@lavendaire]

Yes! You already have all the tools you need

[@jazminrenaenow]

vertheer I was the same way! The moment that I stopped that doubt, I am able to let me KZbin channel grow & now I’m learning everything you need will come eventually

[@F0reverblessed]

Absolutely! Glad you realized that you have the tools you need. One thing that helped me with self-doubt was diverting those negative thoughts and think of what will help me feel better rather than thinking "if only". Sometimes we can be our worst critics. Which is what gave me the courage to make videos and share what helped me along my self-love journey.

[@racheeyB]

What's amazing to me is that I really thought I hadn't accomplished anything in life, but after the first worksheet, I was so inspired by myself. A few years ago I had severe depression and anxiety and over the past few years I've recognized that and had seriously overcome all the bad habits I had, without even knowing it. This series is great so far.

[@christinamariemoney]

You never fail to inspire me Aileen! Such a beautiful soul! You would be the best life coach :)

[@earthwitheva]

so true! :)

[@lavendaire]

aw you're so sweet 💕

[@TheMagicCrafter]

Very lovely! ♥ Ugh. Not only are your tips always perfect, but the lighting in your videos gives me the chills! I swear... your aesthetic is as heavenly as your voice. ♥♥♥ So happy you've decided to share your light with us. *Keep on glowing!*

[@F0reverblessed]

Her voice is definitely soothing. So are your videos! Keep it up!! :)

[@autumn_breeze]

thank you so much for this 💛🌻 i love you!

[@1RooMiiNaa1]

I’m loving this serie so much 💕✨

[@tkey2010]

Wow! Aileen this is so refreshing, this video is helping me. I stumbled a lot on what's my purpose years ago and the I let it go trying to find the answer. Right now I want peace, and tranquility in my life and just listening to you I'm looking at the direction of where life is taking me.

[@CupofTJ]

Excited for this 💕

[@BastettheGh0st]

I just wanted to say that I love your whole look in this video 🧜🏼‍♀️🧚🏼‍♀️✨ The clothes, hair & make-up combo look great on you! And yes, I really appreciate your content as well. Thank you for all of this! I really need this right now.

[@blitzkriegxgirl]

This whole series is coming EXACTLY when i need it! Like I'm trying to figure out what to do with my life and this is really motivating me

[@JazzySingz]

I'm really loving this series and the worksheets! Really came along at a time where I needed it 💖 Thanks, Aileen 😊

[@user-yn9mo7yu4o]

I love your voice and your laugh! I’m always inspired and motivated when watching your videos! I’m so grateful that I discovered your KZbin channel!

[@mella3360]

This new hair colour and haircut really really suits you! Besides that, I'm loving this series with alllll of my heart and I am excited now that I subscribed to it!

[@smatias83]

Thank you for sharing this! I love the worksheet!

[@tabea4101]

This series is exactly what I need. Thank you so much!♡

[@roua3846]

The Dream Life Series is such an amazing series. It inspires me to do more, like you basically make my sight more open about myself and I get surprised in the fact that my thoughts change from time to time, even my personal perspective towards certain things. When I finish every video, I do feel empowered like " Yes girl, you will be this new version of yourself! More positive, more energetic,and happy!". This is the breaking point, is that my reality is so different that it makes it even harder for me to do these things and to apply them. Yes I do them for the sake of personal growth, but it keeps on changing my mind which I already feel it is different from my society's , and it makes it difficult for me to live in such a community anymore. I am not trying to be negative here, I am just saying that sometimes we do these little things that make us happy because we want to change for better, I want to be better than I was, but sometimes the challenges that we go through, especially society, are what bring us down the most. For example, I'm vegetarian but I get the clashes of " Why are you vegetarian?" , or " HOW DO YOU SURVIVE?" and the fact that my society does not "know" or " accept" such a lifestyle , it makes it harder for me to persist but I ain't never going to change what I believe in or the lifestyle that I chose for those who do not respect other people's differences. We are all different and I believe in the beauty of being different and I believe in these little things that make us question about life, ourselves, our future but I hope that despite all of these circumstances, we can get to where we want to be, one day. No matter what, do the things that you are mostly passionate about it and what you believe in. Thank you for these videos! You never fail to inspire all of us Aileen ❤ . Love #Lavendaire

[@cierrableakly1806]

THIS IS CRAZY! This year i chose the word proactive and intentional. Basically i was just thinking i want to figure out what my dream life is so i can be proactive/intentional with achieving it. I open youtube to try to find a video and this pops up. Such a sign, thank you for all you do!!!

[@chicgirldiary]

So much thankful for you..such strength you give.. have a nice life😺😀💖

[@laurenspassionx]

[@katrinamarie7732]

I am currently a 1st year college student and I feel like I need to explore deeply on who am I and what I really want to be. This series is on great timing because it help me to slowly discover myself. I know it will take years to establish myself as an individual but surely, these series of videos will create a huge impact on my journey. Thank you Aileen. 🌻

[@a.viantiaishafadlil1591]

Loooooove ur hair! match ur aesthetic so much! and love the topic too of course. thanks Aileen!

[@arushisrivastava8474]

Have been staring the emails even before reading them! Love this series.💗

[@asrn672]

I can't stop smiling ! You made my day. Thank you 💖

[@margiesvanmori]

I love this. I am moving into a van this year to travel and embrace life fully. I quit alcohol for the year, quit Facebook, instagram, and am training for a marathon. God has a purpose for all of us and we have the ability to live into that potential by our choices. Great video!

[@priyankasahu6126]

Hey Aileen, apart from the obvious fact that the aesthetics in this video is so striking and perfect (also loved the little humor you put into it, by that past forward play!) you realize idealize the dream life you are trying to instil in your viewers. I am quite dedicated to this series so far. It was great filling up the last worksheet. An eye opener. This "discovering you" part is so important, glad you pointed it out. Heading to fill the worksheet now and stick it over my desk. Thank you so much. Keep inspiring :)

[@lavendaire]

Glad you’re liking it!

[@clauquinterof]

Since one year ago I started watching your videos... you are a beautiful soul, you have a beautiful energy...thanks for guiding us to be our best version of ourselves

[@lavendaire]

Thank you, happy to have you here 💕

[@helinguyen2445]

Thank you for helping me

[@justnabi3514]

The timing again!! These videos always come out when I'm feeling low like today I went for a 40 minute nap but ended up taking a 4 hour nap I felt really shitty but now I have something to do so I'll focus on this instead of being a bit*h to myself lol thanks ~

[@windtemps3567]

Aileen, you're amazing! Thanks for being my source of inspiration and motivation!

[@kath.reviews8133]

Thanks for this series!! It's amazing and soo inspiring and it's only been 2 episodes! :)

[@priscillajimenez27]

I've always had a drive to help people especially children. Teach them and equip them in how to be successful and flourish in their lives and as well as shown them how to be mindful of others

[@SaintOrCinema]

This series is very kind. You are putting so much time, effort, and energy into something that will really benefit and encourage us. You are such a good person for doing this. I am recovering after a serious illness and this series is helping me to feel more positive and gain a bit of confidence again. Thank you so much xx

I needed this video right now. I've been trying to figure out what career path is best for me, but although I have two graduate degrees, I don't feel like I have any real skills. I don't feel like my skills are specific enough. This video really helped me. Thanks!

[@lavendaire]

Thank you!

[@spyglassfibercraft3503]

Hi Aileen, thank you so much for this series. I've recently completed the questions from the first worksheet from last Friday's release. Although I would say that I know myself fairly well, going through that worksheet and being very honest with myself culminated in some very powerful realizations and is already helping me focus on what I should be working on *right now* for this series. Thank you for your insightful work, and definitely for making this series available at no charge. It is a huge gift to a lot of us. Many blessings on you and your work. xo Shawn

[@jazminrenaenow]

Such a great video! Starting my day off right!! Hearing what you said has made me realize that I am living out my purpose. I’m so glad I started my KZbin channel & letting my creativity flow in my life. I love it 💛💛 2nd mission statement was so for me! Keep leading with love & peace
