- hey boos 🫶🏾,
the more that i settle into my apartment and this new city, the closer i get back to connecting to the healing tools that really helped me grow and evolve before moving to LA. Oracle cards are my absolute favorite tool to help be strengthen my intuition and attune closer to my spirit guide and ancestors. some of you may not understand, and that's ok. this works for me.
here's to the girlies who are proud members of the 5am club! it's been a struggle getting back to this routine, but it feels amazing. also, if y'all have any tips on painful bloating, please let me know!
are we in love with my new fig and palm house plants? i am obsessed and so happy to be a plant mommy again! also, this brown bodycon dress i'm wearing is giving SKIMS, but Black-woman owned and I love that so, so much for me! Def check out SekndLook for some quality, yet affordable loungewear to look cute in the house.
i am also in love with these amazon neutral barstools i added to my kitchen. i think they're the perfect touch to the island. speaking of neutral, this cream colored cookware set?! this is peak adulting. thank you for gifting me this set @carawayhome :)
anyways, i hope your week is going amazing! take care all ways, always. enjoy! xo ❣️
(make sure you watch in 4k, the quality is top tier 🤩)

Hi! New Subscriber, love your content. Just wondering if you are able to make the font larger on the screen when you are giving a description of what you are doing. Currently, the font is extremely small and hard to read. Thank You
thank you so, so much for watchingggg 🥰💗 and yes! i am working on editing the subtexts for all vlogs moving forward so that they're more legible :) thank you for your feedback!
Awesome and thanks so much for responding.🥰
Sometimes, for women, if our cortisol levels are high, we retain weight. With your new move and getting settled, your cortisol levels are probably higher than normal, causing bloating. Try taking hot yoga and some gentle flow style workouts to get you back balanced. Also, drink some warm lemon, ginger, and honey upon rising. 🫶🏾
wow, thank you sooooo much for this!! definitely working on creating a healthy daily routine that just help puts me at ease. it's a process. i miss yoga and pilates so much! definitely going to do the lemon, ginger and honey in the morning moving forward! 💗
Amazing job! I've dealt with bloating for a while and what I've noticed is it was either h pylori or candida that was off balance as well as sometimes due to eating things I had sensitivity to like gluten, dairy, sugar etc. You got this wish you all the best.
This was very relaxing to watch on a Sunday Miss Ma’am! 🌸
thank you so, so much for watchingggg 🥰💗 see you next sunday!
I for sure need that Scorpio journal! That definition of us Scorpios was too on point! 🦂♏️
OMG, i am loovinngggg it so far! it's just a nice personalization to a journal you use for personal reflections, etc. if you do get it, let me know how you like it!
love the apartment, it's giving comfy-cozy aesthetically pleasing, never wanna leave, work, life, love space. all those packages is like X-mas day! enjoy 🤩 i needed this today
thank you so, so much 🥰💗 i never wanna leave, but i realize i need to get out and explore this new city lol. it's literally like christmas sometimes over here! see you next sunday!
Yeah!!!!! My Sundays are so much better after I watch your vlog! Your home is beautiful! I love the brightness and the aesthetics of your place! Your plants are gonna flourish with all the bright light coming in and that reservoir helps it! I heard your vibe of music helps them 😊Can’t wait to see the Art piece!! Great Vlog see you next Sunday 😂
awwww, this made me smile! can't wait to see you next sunday!! thank you so, so much! lawwwdddd, pray for me and these plants! i need to keep them alive lol
Love ALL the Moonology cards. Peaceful❤❤😊
I love your vibe. Truly divine, smart, ambitious woman.
I love your vlogs Amani,they are refreshing, exciting, inspirational and empowering,keep it up girl ❤❤❤❤❤
I love your videos. The vibe is definitely vibing. My lifestyle is similar and it’s nice to see familiarity while watching you. Keep doing what you do girl
awwww thank you so, so much! 🥰💗
Ok, I'm def looking into the plants. The watering system makes me think I can be a better plant mom than I've been in the past. Lol
i'm loving them so farrr!! lol you can do it, you can be better, sis! 😭
Your apartment is so comforting and relaxing❤ OAN: Is it possible to change the color of your writing at the bottom of the screen to a darker color? Sometimes its hard to read.😉
I was going to ask her the same thing
@brielleblooms 😂 you should see me squinting trying to read those words.
@GulfCoastLady girl i stopped trying. I cannot. 😆
@@growingmamajourney 🤣🤣
thank you so, so much! 🥰💗 yes, i am working on editing the subtexts for all vlogs moving forward :) thank you for your feedback!
Lemongrass tea is the holy grail for whenever you're feeling bloated. The more concentrated the tea, the better
ahh, omg thank you so so much for this! i will be adding lemongrass tea to my morning and night routine moving forward to see how it works out!
Omg brown sugar in matcha is absolutely delicious, I wish more people knew about this
it's delissshhhhh!
so we all live alone huh lol love the vlogs and looks like my routine. the peace is impeccable
LOLLL i love this for us!! it's such a life-changing chapter in our lives for self-discovery, honestly! it's sooo peaceful! do happy i've found my people! 🤎
Love your content and I thank you for sharing! Watching this today gave me a sense of peace which in return ignited relaxation within my day🥰... BTW your kitchen is a whole vibe by itself with those colored cabinets, it's giving blue in some shots🤩🧡
thank you so, so much! 🥰💗 this was so so sweet! i love the kitchen! at first i wasn't a huge fan, but it's really growing on me!
Hey babe go get blood work done if the bloating continues. I recently saw a video saying women constantly ignore bloating because of our periods and it can often be connected to cancer. Especially if you think it’s “food sensitivity”. The video even said that. Not trying to scare you, I’m just a “better to be safe” kinda person.
Hoping it’s nothing serious 🫶🏼💖
i completely agree with you!! i'm definitely going to schedule that appointment and take all precautions! thank you for the reminder
That plant is so beautiful
loveee figs!!
I noticed at about 30ish I started having a lot of stomach pain. For the life of me couldn’t figure out what was agitating my stomach. To the point of constipation, bloat and just major discomfort. So a friend suggested I cut out eggs and chicken from my diet because it was the only consist thing I was eating daily and multiple times a day…… babyyy when I tell you, life changing. It was exactly that. I’m almost 2y and it’s hard. I miss it everyday. Also peanut butter was causing gas and bloating. I would say give it a try for a week. Now with eggs I still eat things made with egg but cooking eggs I do not eat. I’m human 😂 and already sacrifice enough. If anyone would like to chat in the comments ask away. Lol. ❤
thank you sooooo much for sharing this! i def need to pay more attention to my body as i get older. things just won't be the same as they were when i was a teenager and even in my early early twenties. certainly going to make that doctor appointment and look a bit further into my diet and see if i can give certain foods a break and see how that helps! 🥰💗
@@AmaniRakeia yea I mean maybe just start to write down when you feel discomfort after eating. That way you can eliminate and then later try to reintroduce to see if that’s the cause.
I truly believe they aren’t treating our food the same as even prior to the pandemic. I’m not tryna to sound like a conspiracist but it’s a little concerning. So I wish you luck on your journey and please share it on RUclips. Who knows the audience it may attract.
I have been watching your videos for a month now. I am older, almost 50 and soon will be starting my life over after my divorce. I will be living alone for the first time in 12 years. And you inspire me so much. Thank you for sharing your lifestyle. ❤
Love your new place! So happy for you. You look so happy and at peace❤
thank you so, so much! 🥰💗
I love the full video.😁
Make sure you are giving your plants more than just water. They need some type of nutrients/plant food like Miracle Grow or some type of natural plant food for them. I've been a plant mom for many years and don't let them fool you, the Fiddle Fig is a beautiful plant but it is finicky. Mine was going downhill but I finally figure out what it needed including the right ratio of water, how often to water, plant food, lighting, which window it liked to be in, etc. It's FINICKY honey so watch out for that one! But PLEASE give it more than water (some type of nutrient is needed) or you'll have only a stalk with no leaves sooner than later!
Oh, and try not to give it tap water, Distilled or Filtered is best.
Happy PLANTING!
OMG. waaaaittt, i had NO idea. now i'm about to go look on tiktok on how to pay close attention to ittttt. *sighs* lolll. i will be sure to keep fig plant updates throughout the vlogs 😭thank you so, so much! 🥰💗
@@AmaniRakeia Please do! Keep us updated on how it's going with them..
Girl this is visual ASMR! So chill…..
awwww, thank you sooooo much! my goal is to make my vlogs feel like cinema!!
This is just sooo vibeyyy, so relaxing! I wish we could get longer vlogs.. 👀👀
thank you so, so much boo 🥰💗 i am tryyyyying to push for longer vlogssssss 😭
The lighting in your home is impeccable! As usual-loving your vlog-keep up the great work sis!
awww, thank you so so much!! 🥰💗
Great video! NYC in the house😊
ayeeeee NYC fam!!
You're making me miss the THE A. you're place is coming together nicely.
I have that same oracle deck. It's one of my favs.
You may want try not eating gluten for a week or so and see how your stomach feels. Also, peppermint tea helps with bloating.
don’t buy farm raised salmon. only buy wild caught i just learned of this last week. it’s pretty disgusting conditions for farm raised and everything they eat we consume. look up videos on the difference!
thank you for this!!
Your content is so relaxing. You give off good vibes ❤
aww, thank you so much!!
I really like your apartment aesthetic ❤ Cozy, scandi vibes
ahhh, yes!! i think Scandinavian is truly my aesthetic and style and i love it. it fits me really well!

I definitely need that Scorpio journal!! November 8th Scorpio!!
come one socrpio sissss!!! i love the journal so much!
What the lady said about cortisol detox is correct. I listen to a cortisol detox frequency music found here on RUclips, it really works. I'm allergic to gluten, dairy and soy so u might wanna look into that too. I take Digestive enzymes and probiotics daily for my digestive system too. I hope this helps ❤ I subscribed today and I'm binge watching all your episodes to catch up, I really relate to you. You are such a warm and sweet vibe 🌻
SCORPIO!!!!! So glad I found your channel! ❤

Real Big Scorpio - 💅🏾 #NewSubbie
Hey Hey I've been binge watching your videos since i found you & subscribed. A lot of times I've seen a few of the captions but I didn't realize that sometimes you write and really small writing and it's against a white background and you've been saying stuff that I've been missing the whole time😮 I just freaking Alison this video because when you were making your bed the small white writing was against your white sheet. And i have 20/20 vision and barely caught it SMH! Now I need to go back and watch your Vlogs again because my silly self has been missing it.
thank you so, so much for watchingggg 🥰💗 and yes! i am working on editing the subtexts for all vlogs moving forward so that they're more legible :) thank you for your feedback!
It could be a gluten intolerance sis.
it definitely could be and i need to get that checked ASAP!!
You want to be a sushi, lol.
I love your aesthetic and vibe, but why do you write the text in your videos so small and only leave it up for a split second? I typically watch on my tv, so it's difficult to see the writing because its so small and blends in with the background
thank you so, so much! 🥰💗 yes, i am working on editing the subtexts for all vlogs moving forward :) thank you for your feedback!
