Costa Rica Travel Vlog | Visiting a Blue Zone, Break Troughs & What I Eat

Costa Rica Travel Vlog | Visiting a Blue Zone, Break Troughs & What I Eat
Hi everyone!
Hope you had a great week! Excited to share this week's vlog with you. It's been a while since we traveled together, and I've got something special to talk about.
Over the past years I've been lucky to work with brands I love, and Estée Lauder is one of them. I’m now one of their brand ambassadors, and they invited me on a trip to Costa Rica to a place called a blue zone.
Now, you might be wondering, what's a blue zone? A Blue Zone is a special place where lots of people live longer and healthier lives than in other areas. These places have common habits like eating well, staying active, and having strong community connections that contribute to their exceptional longevity.. I'll be exploring these healthy habits in Costa Rica and learning about longevity and skin health.
Lately, I've been really into understanding how to live a longer and healthier life with science involved. With my parents getting older, I've started thinking differently about age and health. There's so much more to it than just keeping your body healthy-it's about your mind, mood, skin, and relationships with yourself and others.
I don’t know what it is but I have been really enjoying longer form content again and taking you along in my experiences, thoughts and journey. I say this often but in a way I feel you guys are my safe space and my weekly therapy session where I can just express what I am going trough.
Hope you enjoyed this video!
X Sanne

This video is just crazy in a good way, i'm going through exactly that right now, i'm struggling with insecurities, accepting myself and feeling comfortable in my own skin, this video literally felt like a warm hug and comfort, really Thank you!, I love you so much Sanne, you are beautiful both outside and inside, I am very happy that you can recognize it, you are a great and loving human being❤

[@SanneVloet]

I love that! It comes back to the seasons of life and let this be the season we feel so true to ourselves and so connected! thankyou for you kind words, I appreciate it! We are on a journey together of self love!

[@angelschenni]

Same here !!!

[@ADG247]

Same. Resonates so much with where I am at now.

[@sarividi]

Pura vida! 🇨🇷 so grateful that every time I go back it still feels the same , a peaceful warm feeling of being home! Greetings form a costarrican living abroad!

[@lolitalolipops4154]

That breakfast is what I want the magic fairies to bring me every morning!!!

[@lauraceciliakraft]

I had tears in my eyes when you talked about letting everything go of what is holding you back... I am not there yet, but I am feeling I am on a good path. Needed to hear your words today! Thank you for being you and spreading your calm energy! Lot of Love from Spain 💛

[@whitneysommer2351]

One of things that I've been working on these past few months is my confidence and feeling more comfortable in my skin. My goal for 2024 is to live in an abundant mindset, which for me is letting go of the things that are holding me back. Every morning I recite a morning mantra and affirmations and I find it's really helping change my mindset. I feel lighter and happier! Thank you for sharing your experience and your own struggles ❤

[@yuliiachornobryvets9600]

I like this vlog. It's more interesting because includes many different aspects: trip, food, style, activities. Thank you!

[@SanneVloet]

glad you enjoyed it!

[@KikisDogInSF]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and great experiences in Costa Rica! Your words made my day!🥰👍

[@laurenincolor]

I too had revelations when visiting Costa Rica last year.. it is just magic. ❤

[@awquerida7602]

Costa Rican cuisine is similar to African, Caribbean and Latin American cuisine. We all have rice and beans, beautiful fruit, green and yellow bananas for plantains, codfish, etc. We were on vacation a few years ago in Canada. The area that we were in was well known for their fishing of codfish. They traded that codfish to islands in the Caribbean for white rum. We loved hearing about how these traditions started. In our culture we use banana leaves for cooking grated green bananas that are stuffed with olives and pork. They are boiled and served over the holidays. They are labor intensive, so you make about 100 at one sitting. When I wake up at 3 am because of anxiety, I say my affirmations and prayers of gratitude until I fall asleep.

[@carylannebeltran]

I have so much love for you and the energy you put out, Sanne! You're definitely my favorite here on YT, I just resonate with you. Thank you for sharing your life and lessons with us 🤍

[@ellaaacros6]

Sanne! You are such a beautiful person inside and out, you have such a sweet, kind and gentle Spirit! I am so happy for you that you came to a place of peace and self love on your trip! I am a Christian and I believe that everyone was made with a plan and purpose, I can see Gods love for you, he has such a big plan for your life! God bless you Sanne

[@amyamnguyen]

best weekend watch!

[@elizabethsnowball7248]

Costa Rica tiene lugares bellos es un paraiso

[@sofia01ht]

I’m from Costa Rica Thank you for visiting ✨🫶🏼

[@caitlynscelfo9169]

Sanne this video was a blessing this morning ❤️ i adore what you said about self confidence coming from the inside; I too am just now for the first time in my Life experiencing that ❤️ thank you again. And so wonderful you got to be in Costa Rica 🇨🇷 such a beautiful place.

[@user-gg9wx3ib9r]

Hi Sanne! I always wanted to go to Costa Rica , hope you had a wonderful trip in Costa Rica , thank you Sanne for that little talk you said about not caring what other people think of you , I’m trying to change that too , thank you Sanne for that, have a nice weekend

[@audreytheunissen8627]

Congratulations Sanne! Estee Lauder made an excellent choice appointing you as one of the ambassadors. Much love & greetings from South Africa

[@Nekohama]

We agree!

[@Thehealthyflightattendant]

Thank you for sharing your beautiful life and lovely heart with us 🩷 I really enjoyed your deep chat about self-love. That is something I really struggle with. (Working on it in therapy) thank you for being you.

[@jasminewhatchawaitingfor]

Loved this blog. So inspiring thank you for sharing!

[@victoriasrensen6748]

watching this vlog brought me so much peace and relax ♡

[@laurabaggett3439]

You are such a beautiful light, so great to see you grow and shine in new ways, great vlog 💖

[@ninalisaaa]

as a model I could relate so much to what you said, that when people think you should be the most confident, you actually live in constant fear and anxiety to reach other people's expectations thinking you will never be enough

[@raquelleal5010]

This trip seemed so whole and relaxing.

[@mamam9497]

Sanne, you look even more beautiful inside and out this year. Thanks for sharing!

[@vitalityseeker6193]

This was a great vlog Sanne. You always elevate and inspire with your views and approach to life and personal growth. ❤

[@daimaggie4409]

I used to use Estee Lauder "Advanced Night Repair" when I was 25-30. Great to see U work for them, Enjoy❤

[@user-hj8vs9xu8o]

Sanne, please go back to Costa Rica and then also leave your lodge. It would be so nice to see you getting in touch a little bit more with the local culture and hear your thoughts on differences and Inspirations drawn from that exchange. People are the heart of every country and there was so little of that aspect here.

[@josefingatsby]

Thanks for bringing us along 🥰😍

[@Kat_Braunschweiler]

I loved this video so much girly; your energy is always exactly what I need to bring some more positive vibes into my day!! 💖💖💖

[@emmawaaramaaa]

I was so excited for this vlog to come out! This was an amazing vlog! I really resonated with your intimate motivational speech to us. That was so inspiring and powerful. I am now going to keep that with me everyday! Thank you for vlogging your trip , it looked amazIng Sanne! What other places do you want to travel for fun this year? Also would you ever do a video where you share more childhood stories, it was fun to learn that you loved to act when you were younger and I would love to hear more! Sending big hugs Sanne!💗🌟

[@dianavel8617]

Love your video! It inspired me to start my affirmations again, my meditation and just to think that everything is perfect the way it is. We really forget about that all the time! I'm craving Costa Rica so bad!

[@vamanacampbell6197]

Hi Sanne... Costa Rica, will be inviting and spiritual for you guys... You all enjoy and have wonderful time ❤💯... Blessings and wellbeing throughout ❤️❤️❤️👍🏽🌞🕊️🙏🏽...

[@dreamcoaching]

Love the identity talk. Keep seeking. You are dearly loved Sanne. ❤

[@georgialazarus]

Absolutely loved this vlog! I'm from Cape Town, South Africa so it was amazing to hear you're from Zimbabwe! Lots of love x

[@user-dm7cc2dw3u]

The tangerine dress is most definitely 1 of the many colors that suit you . Turquoise is also another color that suits you. You're pretty in anything. Thank you for sharing your travel vlogs. I've been to Europe etc. But never to Costa Rica . What a delight . Peace Light and Love to all. 🙏🙂

[@ninamtk]

Lately I've been rewatchung all of your travel vlogs from like 5 years ago and I absolutely love them. The first time I fell in love with your travel vlogs was in quarantine when I watched your Africa vlogs. They were so raw and I could see how you connected with nature and its simplicity. You inspire me so much to live freely and enjoy life while keeping up a healthy lifestyle. Thank you Sanne! :* (greetings from Germany)

[@SanneVloet]

Ah I love that!!! This kinda reminded me of the Africa vlog yes, but a little more fancy haha

[@brendastevens9077]

I am very happy that you are feeling it now.😊❤️

[@ktbentley22]

These muscles of yours! So envious of how strong you’re looking! It really suits you. You’re glowing! 💪

[@linam.2381]

Such a nice pep talk! Thanks, I needed that 💕

[@candiceshah7352]

I had no idea that you grew up in Zimbabwe, Africa. It explains so much about how lovely you are and how close to nature you always love being. I am from Cape Town, South Africa. Please visit soon. Love you. From: Your biggest South African fan. ❤

[@charlymut295]

Girl you are glowing !! So Pretty !!

[@min1549]

that breakfast is gallo pinto. beans and rice with either fresh cheese, eggs or maduros( fried plantain)

[@TheEmaile]

Sanne, usually toes turn purple when they’re broken. Hopefully it’s ok now! They usually heal well on their own if they’re immobilized.

[@kyliek.9481]

That orange dress is gorgeous!!!

[@candiceishappygirl5775]

[@valeria...66606]

I love this vlog.❤ Can you do another video on the topics of self-love, insecurities and feeling comfortable in your own body, skin? I think far too often what others might think of me. Thank you so much for your help and for addressing such topics. You are an inspiration.❤❤ Which hotel have you been to in Costa Rica?

Love u so much Sanne

[@glado0o]

Relaxing video. Thanks for sharing your travel experience. Just wanted to point that ''Africa is not a country''. This might seem obvious but people (also in this video) keep referring to it as such when they are talking about their experience in one particular place. I think it's important to be specific to avoid generalizations and stereotypes.

[@user-mh9ic6ko2b]

Hi Sanne! Do you also feel that one of the reasons why you feel more secure with yourself now is that you became your own boss now? cuz you have more control of what you want to do instead of being told what to do (when you were modeling back in the day)

[@raniaali1794]

❤From Egypt

[@radiantm2382]

Oh Sanne....❤

[@tamunagegiadze6594]

Girl this place is heaven on earth 🥰 and would like to add, that it's so good that gained some weight, you look so beautiful, you looked beautiful before as well, but now, just body goals you know, amazing 😍

Where is you're matching set from that is featured during the forest walk?

[@alihossan6655]

Over the last 20 years, I have spent most of that time living abroad. Americans who have NEVER left the United States have no idea what the rest of the world is like. The USA doesn't even rank in the top 10 places to live, The USA doesn't rank in the top 10 safest countries. The USA doesn't rank in the top 10 healthiest countries. MOST citizens around the globe would choose to live anywhere BUT the USA. This world has a lot of nice places to live in. Life goes quickly. Enjoy while you can.

[@Megatronbeauty]

can I please ask what size you got in the swim by d one piece for reference?

[@Run-Na979]

So pretty

[@JACQBXX]

Sanna I've noticed you only drink mocktails. Just wondering if you stay clear of alcohol. Ps beautiful trip 🌺

[@sanetzwiegers564]

Hi Sanne...I really hope you find your peace in Jesus Christ ❤

[@Metaphoreign]

I think blue zones are also places where elderly people are cherished and not cast aside by society. In many places where youth is over valued, old people are treated like they have no worth, which is not an incentive to live a long life! Like how many of those experts were over 100?

[@nadjacalore2660]

I really would be interested to hear more from the bio- hacks / knowledge that you got - by the way🌈🦋😊

[@dariakudrina5667]

That’s such a beautiful travel vlog!😍👍Love your vlogs always! Do you have any favorite KZbinrs you like to watch?
