Days in my life LIVING IN NYC alone: DIY apt decor, fitness & how I'm REALLY feeling in NY ✨ [vlog]

[@missk4934]

I connected so deeply with what you said about adult friendships and making new aligned friendships. I’m also very independent, value my time + my alone time and am ok being alone vs just filling time with people. I’ve been struggling with feeling like the state I’m living in is keeping me small and I’ve felt called to move out of state, so watching your journey has been so inspiring for me as I determine where the universe wants me to go. Sending you a virtual hug!💛

[@ShaylaQuinn]

Thank you love!!! As far as feeling called to move - I say listen to that intuitive nudge and go for it!! 💗💗💗

[@melanietz5517]

Hi Shayla, I found your moving to new york video and I'm catching up on your videos lol. I really resonated with what you were saying about your struggles. My dad was never in my life and was a nasty person and I struggled with that for a long time growing up. I also did a big move and moved from Greece to Australia at 17 so deeply feel for you. You are honestly such a positive and down to earth person. You have given me so much motivation each day. I just wanted you to know that you are helping so many people. And the fact that you are so self aware and respectful of your own feelings in the moment is the most therapeutic thing I've seen online. 💕

[@ShaylaQuinn]

Wow wow wow 🥹😭🙏🏼 thank you so much for the sweet and thoughtful message, I’m truly grateful you’re here! 💗

[@cheryljoseph6176]

Thank you for sharing your honest thoughts in this video. It resonated with me so much. I’ve learned that happiness is not a result- it’s a choice. And until you choose happiness no one, no thing, no event and no occurrence will make you happy.

[@ShaylaQuinn]

🤍

[@rentedthriftedreal]

I don't know why, Shayla, but your videos always make me feel so calm and at peace!

[@ShaylaQuinn]

That literally makes me SOOOOO happy to hear 🥹😭💗

[@caitlindavenport9731]

Obsessed with your nyc life! Blank Street is the best ever I miss it 💕💕🙌🏻

[@ShaylaQuinn]

It’s the best!!!!!

[@subashineee]

9:23 hey Shayla, I've noticed this ever since you got your new camera you know how sometimes you talk to the camera while holding it, like the camera isn't set somewhere but your just holding it...its very shaky in those scenes I can't look at the video in those scenes because it gives me a headache...maybe it's something you can change like a setting or something to stabilise the video and make it look less shaky and more steady.... did I say that so it makes sense or am I just rambling lol idk...

[@ShaylaQuinn]

Thank you for pointing it out!! I haven’t had a chance to fix my settings and I honestly forgot (hello Covid brain fog lol) but I will fix it for further vlogs 💗

[@sarahs_sunny_life6408]

Such a great vlog. I am also single and spend a lot of time alone. And don’t have many friends. And often feel sad. But remind myself how important the friends are that I do have. But so good to see others are not always living the perfect life that is so often shown online. So thank you for sharing xx

[@ShaylaQuinn]

Thank you for sharing and thank you for holding space for me to be myself!! 💗

[@lmaio7112]

I FELT this! I’ve moved to new cities twice now, and making friends as adults as hard. But you’re right, it’s about the journey and being grateful in the moment. I’ve been in NYC for almost 7 years now and it feels so right. :) Also I just read that book and it’s so good!

[@ShaylaQuinn]

Yes indeed!!!! 💗💗💗

[@charlotteaddicott240]

I really needed to hear the dream life/challenges talk today. Thank you for always keeping it real! 💜

[@ShaylaQuinn]

Sending you so much love 🤍

[@MariMal28]

Omg i feel the same way about my apt and i tell myself to get out more on weekends since weekdays i work in office ☺️✨

[@ShaylaQuinn]

Hahah I mean it’s a great thing to love where you live though right?! At least that’s what I tell myself 🥹😉💗

[@MariMal28]

Definitely is ❣️

[@ShanaEmily]

Shayla! Just catching up with you & I am just looking at how brave you are girl. I'm a little older than you are... I started my journey after my mom passed...it is a work I. Progress every, single, day. I was scared to be alone..and often times still am. But life is too short..thabk you for inspiring so many to go after what your heart pulls you tondo..and thank you for inspiring me again to live in each moment we have. Girl you are going to look back and LOVE you at this time! See you in the next vlog! And I need that oil! Xoxo

[@ShaylaQuinn]

Literally tearing up as I read your comment.. thank you for taking the time to connect with me and share, and for the love and support. Sending you so so much love 💗💗💗

[@Seagullflying]

I feel the same way about the company we keep. Love your vlogs- they are inspiring and warm.

[@ShaylaQuinn]

Thank you for holding space for me to be honest!! It means so much to me 🥲💗

[@CarolineInspired]

Always love + value vulnerability + honesty - what 👏🏼 a 👏🏼 strength 👏🏼 Love how you’ve spoke about still feeling these feels whilst living your dream life. If I lived in New York I would TOTALLY love to hang out with you 💛 there are lots of New York souls that are going to be so blessed to have your energy in their lives. Keep growing + glowing through the discomfort beautiful soul - you’ve SO got this 💛

[@ShaylaQuinn]

You’re so so sweet 🥹💗 thank you babe!!!

[@inacincinnis]

This vlog wasn't even boring - it was fully relatable. felt good to see that I am not the only one living in and embracing the chaos at the moment. Thank you love! I wish I could've met you when I visited NYC last week. I've always wanted to go to a pottery class. I saw on your IG that you did go to the class by yourself and I love that you did. You might be alone but you're not lonely, you got yourself and that's all you need. Such an inspiration. Thanks for sharing, love!

[@ShaylaQuinn]

💗🥹 thank you for being here and for being YOU!

[@bhealthhive3329]

I feel so connected with you. And your vlogs always leave me feeling good and inspired! I also have a non existing relationship with my dad. Moved countries several times, and finding it more and more difficult to form new adult friendships, and I think when we work for ourselves it is even more challenging. Sending lots of love from Bali ❤

[@ShaylaQuinn]

Omg hi and welcome!! BALI IS MY FAV!!!! So grateful to have connected with you 🤍🤍🤍

[@sherrysimpson4440]

Great vlog... love the lights by your bed...slowly coming together and looks great!! Keep ya head up...Stay safe

[@ShaylaQuinn]

Thank you!!! I’m so happy with how they came out!

[@k8t1485]

So true of what you said about the desire sometimes of having a packed schedule, having a plan on a Friday night, rushing through the season you're in to get to the next. Being alone and being okay with that. I am going through a really hard break up and moved out into my own apartment. It's been life altering and an emotionally uncomfortable transition. What used to fill my schedule was "us" plans and is now "me" plans. Learning to be okay with that. Being okay with my big plan on a Friday & Saturday night is a self care luxurious bubble bath, face mask, cook a healthy dinner and favorite episode of a show. You can't force yourself to be where you aren't. I know one day I'll look back at this time and be grateful for the time I took for myself. Thanks for making me feel less alone in that too Shayla.

[@ShaylaQuinn]

YES YES YES

[@ShaylaQuinn]

YES!!!! And I’m so sorry you’re going through a tough time but know this too shall pass, and being with yourself is scared. Love on yourself and trust that the aligned partner you deserve will show up when you least expect it. Sending you so much love 💗💗💗

[@k8t1485]

@@ShaylaQuinn Thank you for the encouragement and love! I keep reminding myself that the Universe has my back and that everything is working FOR me, not TO me. Healing is so one day at a time. Lots of love to you Shayla!

So sorry your friends flight got delayed hope you get to see her a lot this summer. I'm the same I don't mind a little solitude and only want friends if I enjoy being around them. Your vlog is such a masterpiece and hanging out with you on KZbin is the best💗💫!

Happy too hear you say is to take your time to make new friends. 👍🥰

[@ShaylaQuinn]

🙂

[@micella_2931]

While watching this VLOG I was so hard thinking about moving to NYC and hang out with you! Def vibing with everything you said! 😂❤️ We’re same age and I experience a lot of loosing my friends to motherhood (it’s actual not a bad vibe but they get different schedules, interests and rather hang out with other mums) while I started to be more into yoga, mindfulness & health. In my 20s I moved cross country two times and it was easy to make some new, real connections then. But nowadays I am really looking for the like-minded ones, and rather hang out with the dogs than with people who are not.

[@ShaylaQuinn]

Sooooo happy to hear you’re feeling connected, I’m grateful that you’re here !!

[@raekim6333]

I really appreciate your transparency and vulnerability. I also recently moved but over 7 months ago. And i totally agree making adult friendships is way harder than making friendships when you were in your teens or early 20s. I totally resonated w where you are at. Thanks for sharing! Hope you have a great weekend w friends and eve by yourself! Love that for you ❤️

[@ShaylaQuinn]

Thank you for sharing - makes me feel better knowing I’m not the only one!! 💗💗💗

[@jancarlson2165]

Hi Shayla!!! I think that way too when things or disappointments are on repeat, "what can I learn from this?". Hugs to you! The lights in your bedroom looks so nice!!! Hope you have fun over the weekend!!! Love ya!! 💕💕

Thank you darling!! Sending you soooo much love!!

Hi hunny! Your videos inspire me so much. I would love to start creating content. Do you mind sharing how you film your shots when you’re out and about? The shots are always so still even when you move around the show the area. Do you use a tripod or just your hand? Do you have any filming tips? All the best shayla ❤️❤️❤️

[@ShaylaQuinn]

Aw thank you so much!! When I’m out and about I usually just use my iPhone to film!

You have such great energy. I know what you mean about asking the question of "What is this trying to teach me?" and embracing struggles. Anxiously awaiting the info to be emailed regarding TYIL! Have a wonderful 4th of July!

[@ShaylaQuinn]

🥹🥹🥹 thank you Sherrie!!!

[@jazzwhitney3333]

Your last book recommendation "Before We Were Strangers " was amazing. I love to read romance novels in the summer! I will definitely be checking out "The Perfect Marriage ". Another great read is "Wasted Love With You" by Whitney G.

[@ShaylaQuinn]

Yay I’m so glad you lived that book! It was soooo good. Hopefully you enjoy the perfect marriage, it’s more suspenseful and not so romance based but I really enjoyed it. I’ll have to add your recommendation to my list 🙂

[@subashineee]

omg how has it already been 2 months? istg this 2nd quarter of 2022 just passed by so quickly

[@ShaylaQuinn]

NO IDEA 🤯

[@boltoht]

Yes, you will find your tribe. People need to chill with the pressure. It takes time especially working from home. We're still in unusual circumstances with COVID, etc. i think you'll find people doing the things you love. =)

[@SabrinaVega27]

Do you mind how much is your rent ? I’m thinking of moving to the area. Just curious.

[@ShaylaQuinn]

The rental market changes and has changed since I signed my lease so it’s not really relevant now. Check out street easy and look in your desired areas to get a better idea of pricing!

[@Elenatravels]

No one gets a hall pass from life..no doubt. And gurl I've been following your move and you have every right to feel fustrated. It's been non stop! You must be leaning on your practice. I'm curious why your luck has changed so much in NYC.. there's a modality called astrotography which might be interesting for you to look up. You might have a Saturn, (the hard teacher planet) line running through NYC. Anyway, stay strong, clear and focused on creating a life of flow, ease and fun! Sometimes the most worthwhile things takes pereserverance, patience, and rising up to the challenges..as your successful career reflects. Mucho amor 💕

[@ShaylaQuinn]

Hi my love!! I don’t think my luck has changed, I’m looking at it as the period of resistance and contraction before a BIG UPLEVEL! Doesn’t make it any less uncomfy but in my experience this is the dip before the rise! 💗 also I have a whole podcast episode on astrocartography - which is part of the reason I came to the east coast 🙃💗🤗

[@warmbreeze43]

Covid brain fog is totally real. I’m 7 months out and my memory is still shot. I spent 15 days in the hospital in January. Covid double pneumonia. I started loosing my hair in February, side effects of Covid. Slowing down now but have not much hair. Praying you don’t have this. No one told me, so I was shocked to find out there was this kind of side effect. NY? Not sure I’d want to live there. Been there multiple times but not really my vibe for living. I’m an all summer hot weather gal. You look great btw. Enjoy

[@ShaylaQuinn]

Oh no!! I’m so sorry!! I hope you feel better soon, I gratefully have been feeling good other than the random bouts of brain fog but I truly feel lucky I had a mild case of it 😢

[@warmbreeze43]

Hi beautiful soul 🤍It really spoke to me when you talked about your previous relationship, about your dad and your traumas.. I highly recommend you to follow and buy the book of Sheleana aka Rising woman! She truly is a gem and helped me grow so much when it comes to relationship with myself and others. Love your content and your energy!

[@ShaylaQuinn]

Amazing thank you so much for the recommendation!! I will look into it 🤍🤗

[@Giakalope]

I love your videos, but I saw this little roadblock coming a few episodes ago. Could it be that you’re living an L.A. lifestyle in NY? Apologies for the unsolicited observation, I don’t mean to offend you or your viewers.

[@ShaylaQuinn]

I think it’s just the resistance and contraction before the uplevel and expansion, it’s all part of the process 💗🙂

[@mariah660]

It’s not for everyone, but when I moved to a new city I used Bubble BFF to make girl friends and it took awhile, but I made some great friends on there.

[@ShaylaQuinn]

Yesss I have some friends who’ve used it as well!!
