- hey boos 🫶🏾,
we finally touched down and moved into our new atlanta apartment! the gag is, i don't like it. sighs at this point, i'm ready to feel settled. moving to yet another new city can feel exhausting and isolating feeling like you're starting all over again, but i know i'll be better for it in the future.
so far, atlanta feels really good to my nervous system. the pace is a lot slower than NY and LA. as a true city girl, it's definitely an adjustment. i miss the walkability of a city like new york, but i made a promise to myself to keep an open mind and give this city a fair shot.
here's to the journey of making this apartment truly feel like home. the beautiful thing is that, this is my life and i am the captain of this ship. if i don't like something, i can always move and adjust accordingly. i love being the main character.
i hope your week is going amazing! take care all ways, always. enjoy! xo ❣️

totally relatable about just not feeling"settled" and being exhausted. Good luck and blessings to you!! my condolences to you and your family on the loss of your grandmother.
Welcome to my favorite airport in my favorite city. I pray that Atlanta is as good to you as it’s always been to me. 💖
Sorry about the loss of your grandma. I hope you’re okay. I like that you take needed breaks to tend to your needs and mental health. Also, I appreciate the effort into your vlogs! they’re amazing ✨🙌🏾
The first video I saw of yours was when you were discussing your relationship with your mom and I’ve literally binged watched every video since then. You’re like a breath of fresh air and so relatable. I’m typically not much of a commenter but I wanted to share that I’ve really enjoyed your content
Congrats on going after what you really want, and not settling. We must do that in life. Take your time, things will work out for you.💜💜
I really appreciated what you shared about how much your hygiene routine declines when you’re struggling with your mental health. I’ve known this about myself for a while but I don’t as recently reflecting on it this weekend. It can be so hard to juggle all the things, while simultaneously growing/evolving. Sometimes I really gotta sit and remind myself not to bully myself for being too sad to care for myself.
I feel this! I really relate and appreciate when bloggers/influencers are honest abt that aspect bc it might feel embarrassing to b going thru that but hearing abt it from inspirational and admirable women makes me not feel so alone in it and not to bully myself over it either
new chapters can be sooo exciting! I am happy for you, hoping you receive new opportunities, better clarity and direction and greater experiences in this new era of your life. you deserve it! btw, i love your content and can't wait to see more from you *new subbie* 💗💗💗
Can I just say, your smile is what drew me to you.. your personality is what’s kept me here.. but your smile has and will always be the infectious energy that brings me back again and again and again 🥰🥰 you’ve smiled through it all and I’m happy you never let the external change your internal.
So proud of you for making decisions that serve you Amani.
Keep being the light you are in the world! 😊
My condolences for the loss of your grandmother. I'm sending light and positive energy your way. Congratulations on the new apartment. I'm glad you were able to get the apartment you wanted.
Every vlog is chef's kiss! Major move and thank you for sharing the journey with us 🤗 Ur new place is so cute!
sending so much love your way! thanks for keeping it so real and vulnerable.
Very sorry for your loss, sending you love and light ❤🤍
Sending my love to you and your family during your time of grieving your grandmother. I'm glad her body isn't suffering anymore and I pray that her spirit is at peace. I am so glad that you have a loving and supportive family to love on you throughout the various stages of your life!❤ I love to see you smile and enjoy your life and remember don't sweat the small stuff!🎉❤
Girl I love your content sooo much, glad you're back!
❤ hoping you’re enjoying your newest adventure… I’m so excited for you!
i am! it's really calm so far :) thank you boo!
Welcome to ATL boo! I remember commenting earlier videos if you come to Atlanta I’m cryinggg. Prayers for your mental and new beginnings. When you’re settled and ready for a meet up the gworls are pulling up OKAY🤍
And props to the boys for the matcha SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY 14:19
We backkkkk! Praying you have an amazing journey!
You are so inspiring in that you take brave new steps forward to do what’s best for you despite whatever fear there may be which inspires me to do the same, and apart from that, you inspire me to b more productive and to put myself out there more bc if you can do it then so can I! With your transparency, comes relatability. Your cmment abt hygiene decline when your mental health is in decline is true for me as well and I appreciate the sense of not being alone when someone I find inspiring goes thru similar shxt. We love your content and love you! You set a great example for other young women especially those of us who are melanated 💛 Hope you find joy and peace in your new home sis 🙏🏽
I love the full video, sorry for your loss.😁😔
I just came across your channel I’m on my 2nd blog which is this one and I want to just say thank you for the transparency and being you! I’m glad I found your channel ❤❤
for your hair routine, it's best to use oil as a last step bc. oil acts as a barrier to seal in (or out) products. If you use it before other steps it makes other products harder to penetrate your hair. just a suggestion. much love, love the vloggggg
The desk looks great!! 🥰
Welcome to the ATL!!! You’re gonna love it here ❤
I hope you enjoy yourself in Atlanta. You definitely seem right at home.
So glad you are Chile .you were definitely
Missed .💜
I love this for you I can’t wait to move to Atlanta it’s looks like a vibe me and my boyfriend are buying a home in Atlanta and I’m so ready for the vibes and a new chapter ❤❤❤
To get the most sunlight… you may want a south facing apartment/unit
I'm so sorry to hear of the passing of your grandma 😢 I pray you are taking the time you need to heal and take care of yourself. I'm sure it hasn't been easy for your mom either, so I am sending lots of love. I'm pretty new to your channel (this is my 3rd or 4th vlog). Keep going and don't ever apologize for doing what's best for you 🫶🏾
I’m so sorry about your grandmother. You’re gonna be so gorgeous in the music video! 😭 ❤
Thanks for the content! ♥Loved this.
congratulations on your new apartment. You ARE KILLING it...thank you for your transparency. It is A LOT to balance...but take baby steps...be gentle with yourself!
Yesss another vlog cant wait for the next one 🤍
I LOVE Yeye's Botanica! Welcome to Atlanta, Boo!!
Wishing nothing but blessings upon your life 🥺❤️
so sweeet, thank you so so much!!
Sending you a lot love ❤
Best wishes! All the best. 🎉
I resonate so much 🫶🏼
Congratulations 🥳
I feel you on the apartments in Atlanta’s whe I was relocating there I stayed in airbnb for about 6 months and when I was ready to lease my first apartment I ran into so many nice places and the area location was gray but soon as I say let me turn on them lights during my tour (which I check for good lighting) most of them was very dark and dull with those yellow low beam lights I was like nope !!! Lol!! Or the apartments had no views like the windows were low where no light came through naturally and the whole thing was just a turn off for me …exp for the price
15:31 oh nooooo! When I saw some comments on your grandma, I thought it was a typo, because you had just told us about your great grandma in the previous vlog... I'm so sorry for your loss ❤😢
You gets it done honey!👏🏾
Bobisha! Love it!
My condolences 🙏🏽
Yess and girlll take advantage of that tax right off, because you work out of your house
welcome to atlanta my precious friend
Always good to see you!! Okkkkk videooooo girl getting fed haha that was cute.
I completely resonate with life was a little challenging journaling has been saving and keeping me sane! Boooo life be lifingggggggg but I am so happy you are on the other side of that and the sun is slowly coming out for you. 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛
Your Internet Bestie 😁
This is making me miss Atlanta. That’s where I’m from and I haven’t been back in seven years.
Wait they have a closet box.. I need that. Anyway, new sub I’m moving out of state and love these videos. Also, this is old but you can use the daylight light bulbs
hard agree with not paying Cb2 prices! You should check out the cb2 and west elm outlets. CB2 is in chamblee; West Elm and Restoration Hardware are in Cumming
I love this. I just relocated from Orlando to ATL for work and so far it’s going but idk I miss FL lol. I’d love to meet you since I do content creation as well!!
I know the feeling, but moving to a new city/new state can be exciting! I m in the process of moving to Dallas as a major restart! Living in FL is not it for me, especially when it comes to mental health and overall health (girl, I am not happy being in FL). I get more excited about leaving than staying. I have moved around a lot during my 20s, but since turning 30 this year, I realize that I do want to settle down and find the right place for me. I wish you well on this journey! I believe you are going to love ATL plus you can meet other influencers in ATL because I follow a few on RUclips! You can a new subscriber from me because I would love to see some updates!
So proud of you love......
aw, thank you so much!! i really appreciate it 💗
@@AmaniRakeia you are so welcome
No same on regressing on self care when i feel overwhelmed
I like the full video. 😁
Sending you love and peace! Congratulations again💫
Wishing you well
thank you so much!
Hi @Amani Rakeia I have a question. Did you ship your car from CA to ATL ? If yes, who did you use ?
So random but what is that song you’re playing as you going to the airport in the beginning?!
November 17th is my birthday too. I feel you about not settling in your home..
bday twinnnnnn
atlanta can feel very slow but there’s so much to do! always down to connect with you need a new friend!
I pray your grandmother found peace, and it's so great that you were able to see some of your family despite the circumstances. I loveddd the vlog! I am super excited to see Atlanta through your eyes!!!
Did you have to pay to move out and move into the new unit?
Ayeeee❤❤❤

@@AmaniRakeialoved it!❤
My husband and I are in Marietta. I would love to meet up for matcha or something soon. Be safe and let me know how we can help.
