happy new year friends! so grateful for you all and I'm so ready for us to take care of ourselves in a thoughtful and balanced way that feeds our bodies and happiness at the same time hehe 😏 let me know if you have any questions and recipe video coming soon!
alia! where do you get your workout routines from? i would love to try out functional training as i'm an avid weightlifter but have been experiencing a lot of the similar things that you talked about in the video. thanks and lots of love!
Love this message about lifting weights. It shouldn't be about how our bodies look. Having enough muscle mass as we get older is crucial and will help us to stay self-sufficient as we get old.
Personally I've never struggled with an eating disorder or anything, but I feel like I rarely see RUclips videos, where food isn't presented in a really controlled way: whether it's protein counting, calories, veganism, etc. Most of them have a good message and it's important to be aware of what you are eating, but I always find myself feeling like I can't enjoy my food afterwards anymore, because I can't stop but thinking about it in a controlled way. Your videos are the only ones, where I actually feel like wanting to get up and go to the kitchen in order to cook a balanced, yet tasty meal. So I wanted to thank you for your healthy presentation of natural and diverse food, which feels inspirational and not limiting.
It’s so crazy how you and I are in totally different places of our lives. But I absolutely love your videos. I’m a 35 year old mom of 4. Married for 17 years. My children are teenagers now. And I can devote more time for myself. I love your mindset and just how refreshing your videos are. Thanks for sharing!!
Hey ! I do biology in university (in France) so to briefly explain to you, our body inhabits a lot of bacteria which are good for our health. They help us to do some function our organism wouldn’t be capable of. We find a lot of bacteria in our gut and for example some help us to digest fiber. A good nutrition protects our intestinal microbiome which protect us against inflammatory reaction or carcinogenesis. fermented food are crucial bc they contain good bacteria (for example lactic bacteria in kimchi or sauerkraut which help for preservation) so by eating this type of food we bring new good bacteria and also having fiber keep our convenient bacteria alive ! So our way of eating is crucial to protect, preserve and stimulate our intestinal microbiota
I’m a millennial that recently discovered your channel, also born and raised Eastern European (I’m Bosnian). PICKLES AND SAUERKRAUT AND BEETS forever 🤍 we make our own everything 😮💨 love love love your vlogs, you’re a refreshing Gen Zer!
I’m Italian but I live in Slovakia, and I travelled a lot in Central & Eastern Europe so I can confirm that pickles are definitely a thing! (btw I love Bosnia 💙💛) fellow millennial hereeee
You have no idea how much you helped me in my fitness and eat healthy & balanced journey! I love to watch your videos because they are not “positive toxic” but in the same way you romanticize life beautifully ❤ Kisses from Brazil 🇧🇷
Happy New Year! Sending you so much love and healing vibes for everything you’re going through, even the things you're not sharing online. Wishing you all the best in 2025!
Hi Alia ! have a wonderful year ! I'm from Poland and we eat the same : pickles, beats with horseradish (yummy), kefir etc it's simple but very good and healthy food, I'm happy that you are talking about health and a gut health - it's sooo important ! Have a wonderful week, best regards !
omg alia you starter reading the secret history! it’s one of my favorite books from the past few years, i hope you enjoy it as much as i did! nice video as always, great start for the new year 🤍
Missed you!! Happy new year alia!! Love that you give so much importance to nutrition and good produce especially in today's world! Inspired me to look into it as well ❤
Happy New Year Alia! Just discovered your channels days ago and now i’m inspired to document my life as well (on tiktok hihi) and to enjoy slow days ☺️
I love the Romanian references in your videos cause as a Greek our cultures have a looot in common and I can relate so much!! Happy new year Alia, much love to you and Yoni❤️
I live for this kind of comfy videos! and since it's summer where i'm from, I tend to go back to your summer recipe videos for inspo (and i usually do some winter recipes too) 💛💚 Happy New Year, dear Alia!
I love your videos and your perspective on movement and eating and healing our bodies. So many of us struggle with this and when you share you story you are helping so many other including me. I’ve also used lifesum in the past and the only thing I didn’t like was how they put a different face next to the food like these 😊😐 that was the only thing that triggered my unhealthy mindset around food
We have kefir yeast, we ferment it with fresh milk and leave it in the fridge for a certain period of time, strain it and drink it. We can also adjust the sourness ourselves. I wish we were closer, I could give you the yeast ツ happy new year 🤍✨️
Pickling stuff is veryyy easy and super fun too. You should definitely try pickling your own stuff. Would be a great video idea and you could get recipes from your fam in romania :) Would love to watch that!
Yes the sardines are so good and a great source of protein and omegas! I started eating them this summer and wish I discovered them way earlier. Love your food philosophy and approach to daily wellness. ❤
Ran across your channel while you were still a student at UW...I love and miss Seattle but have continued watching you as I really enjoy all your content and style 😂❤..just want to say that weight lifting for women is crucial in bone density and maintaining muscle mass as we age...it is a huge payoff to remain as consistent as life makes possible 🤙🥰
OMGGG I literally just finished reading the Secret history!! And was thinking the same thing about my next book. Had to give myself a few days to marinate after because I was so attached! Started my new read today, Dawn by Octavia Butler. Think House Maid will be next because I was definitely feeling the psychological mystery of The Secret History! Happy reading and happy new year!
I'm turkish and we also looove and live on pickes and drink kefir a lot. I really enjoy watching you as a new york girlie but I'm soo in love when you tell or say sth about being balkanian!!
You can also check in polish stores in NY, bc we also have a lot of pickled products like radish, cauliflower ect. Best regards while eating sandwich with almette! ❤
Have you ever done a video on your warm up routine for running? I've never been a runner but one of my goals for this year is to complete the couch to 5k program. I dont think it's occurred to me before that you should be doing all those stretches before setting off!
Hahah I do very basic common warm up that I found online nothing special and I’ve gotten to a place where I know what things feel good to warm up for me but everyone is different so just try things out and see
"A pickle a day keeps the gutt-health to stay ", Ally lol... Cute and cozy vid ! I also was a "good girl " and got back into my routine with sports and other things #proudofmyself lol Du you really know, that you with your running-passion have influenced me, to want to train for an half-maeathon ? You have the right job, missy ! I was a running-hater before and you made me so obsessed with running a half marathon... But I have to start literally from zero with this. . So I figured : After my holiday break from any sports, I will not kill myself biy going instantly into a 3 month -half marathon-training. The only half marathon in my city starts in may and besides my regular sports program, I have to do a special training to prepare myself for an half marathon. But I begin to work towards this goal right now. With my sports program I already have and with special training from june til the following may. Yaddiyaddyyadda,,, I don´t know weather you evencare lol ) Stay cozy, darling, see you in the next one...
Hey Alia, I have really enjoyed your channel. Especially as of late. I get that ads keep your bills paid and I can respect it. Recently though it feels like the ads have felt a bit forced and a little unclear as to if they are ads. It’s building a bit of untrust in some of your recommendations. I will still watch a video if it says ad but I would prefer to have it be more transparent.
12:00 try to make your own homemade pickles one day! 🙏 as russian girlie, who also grew up on grandmas homemade pickles i can confirm, that making them isnt even that hard
Your content is so good. I loveeeeee your intros. Can you share more about where you get your music? I’m a new creator and this is where I’m struggling the most.
Great video, was so happy when i saw a new came out haha.. Wish it would be longer :D ... I wanted to ask, something random, but at what time do you usually go to sleep and when do you wake up? 🤔😁
lol now I’m curious too! Alia seems like the most productive person ever to me 😅 After a workout I would take a nap but she just showers and keeps going on with her day it’s admirable!
Happy new year! Omg I lived in NY as a teenager and it was already expensive. But your grocery seems to be so expensive? Like 8 Dollars for bone broth? 7 Dollars for pickles? Love your videos. Hmm on my health journey since June last year. Gut health is my next target :)
Loved this vlog! Random question lol but I always love the music in the background- do you have any playlist recs for music similar to the ones on your videos ?
okay but the way i GASPED when I saw you reading the secret history! i started it few days ago and I need your thoughts on it in your later videos!! and thank you for every video you make, they always motivate me so much and are so enjoyable to watch 🤍
All with great disposition. M maybe next time you can talk about how to stay in good graciousness during the struggle/stress/set agenda. --Work meets play kind of vid? it's nice you play fortnight for creative flow but like are you going for the demonstration? Just wondering. Also, any casting calls in the near future?
I highly recommend you read “I who have never known men” by Jacqueline Harpman. one of the best books I’ve ever read and I think it will match your genre of books. The amount of times I have thought about this book after I finished reading it is unhealthy. It’s one of these books that you would give anything to read it for the first time again.
Happy new year from Brooklyn as well! Excited to see you out running again. You’ve inspired me to train for a half in April as well 👍 just started the first 1 mile run this week. Looking for headbands like the maroon one you have on. Also from bandit? And do you still use your running vest and would you still recommend it?
the maroon one is from lululemon but my top and bottom are from bandit hehe I do still have the running vest just haven't needed it since I'm not running long miles yet

What app did you find the full body circuit?
Hi can you share your earrings links and black coat please 🙏🏻
@@jeannie1920+1 I’ve been looking for workouts like this!
Love this message about lifting weights. It shouldn't be about how our bodies look. Having enough muscle mass as we get older is crucial and will help us to stay self-sufficient as we get old.
EXACTLY
I think it can easily be about both
