    becoming the "boring" friend and feeling whole and at peace. giving myself a pat on the back with this video because I am truly coming into my own and settling into a routine that feels authentic and good for my soul, my body, and my mind. it allows me to push myself, grow, and take care of myself while also giving me space to lean into quiet and simplicity in the little nyc life. i couldn't be more excited for spring and warmer weather, more runs (hopefully not in the rain) and central park hangouts 💗
    🏃🏻‍♀️🏅I am running the RBC Brooklyn Half Marathon with Team for Kids ✨ - such an important cause for me helping kids of all ages and abilities to build confidence, gain motivation, and develop healthy attitudes toward physical activity that last for life!

    I'm glad you talked about the importance of weight training for women! More women need to realize how beneficial and important it is. Love seeing you in your fit girl/disciplined era Alia 💪 I'm definitely the "boring friend" too and that's totally OK ❤

I become a person who like to stay alone more than before. To be honest, I couldn’t imagine this kind of feeling in the past, but I really find how relax it is.

    I came across your content since I was moving to Seattle from New York City, and now I watch your content from Seattle and I'm able to see New York City stay the same and change too (there's so many different coffee shops, ha.). Well, I lived in your NYC area for a decade (graduate school and work) - I'm familiar with the restaurants, grocery stores, parks (Elizabeth garden was my go to for Friday evening book reading), waterfronts, and even the Blink gym in your video. Ha. Best with your marathon, and enjoy NYC.

    I use the spirilina powder in smoothies! Works perfect. I normally do the combo blueberries, banana, strawberries, 1/2 orange , spinach. It normally gets grey and looks like concrete. But I think it's tasty. I also have som fiber in it like flaxseeds. (But just have like maximum 2 small teaspoons) 😊😊
