See, this is what I mean by your content being stellar. You get lifestyle, fashion, makeup, business and financial advice that is based on your own personal experience and knowledge…AND…you are are completely relatable and down to earth, and don’t come across as a “persona/character”. Stay blessed Sis!
I 💯💯 agree with you: Stellar content. 👏🏽👏🏽
Absolutely agree!!👏🏾
Agreed 👍🏾 ❤
That part!!!
Hello Alicia 👋, I Whole heartily agree with the other people. I absolutely love 💘 how honest, down to earth and inspiring you are. You use your platform to really help, support and inspire us. Never take for granted how much of a help you are to use by telling us we can do both we don't have to quit. You look Absolutely Gorgeous inside and out. Thank you for sharing and caring about us. I pray God continues to bless your beautiful family ❤👪 🙏❤.
To offer another perspective, having two kids does not guarantee a shared “burden” speaking from experience! In case that gives some peace of mind with only having one child. Now my grandma had like 12 of them thangs, and the scenario was a shared burden even if it was just 5/12 😊
Lastly, career wise you are living my dream. Not that I dream of labor 🙄 lol but younger Bre wanted to be exactly this. A successful career woman with side this and side that and volunteering with young girls. So far I just have the successful career 😐 keep going, it’s so inspiring to see!
Protein and lifting weights are key to losing weight once you reach a certain age. Food is also key. Your tummy looks GOODT for having a c section!! We have the same goal weight, and I'm 5'3--I have 10 more lbs to go, and I plan on getting lipo next year! I want this tummy sucked OUT because that is where my weight goes and I HATE that for me.
Your no-makeup look is very much more than mine but it's such a pretty finished product.
Having a baby.... at 37, I am still flipping the coin on whether motherhood is what I want only because, in my present state, it won't look how I want it to look. I'm not married, yet and I never wanted to do the single-parent thing as I've witnessed the struggles my mother has had. I completely understand your hesitation about baby #2. Something like that would scare me into not trusting my body to do what it was made to do. Your son is such a sweet little person though. I always get baby fever when he comes on the vlog.
Your book club is awe-inspiring. I always want to join a solid book club that actually meets to discuss the books. I admire the community you've built. As an adult who works from home, building community from my interests is hard. How do I assemble a community that loves various food experiences and staying home? 😆 but for real, making friends over 30 with no kids is hard.
Food experiences and staying home made me lol!😆
Love all the things, from the no makeup look, to the chit chat. I do understand the point of not wanting Alexander to go through the feels of family life alone because that can take a toll on one’s mental and physical health. I actuary like see the book club content; I like seeing females have a positive experience. Your content is top tier. I actually miss being in Alabama. 😊
🫶🏾 just ur comments about giving yourself grace is so inspiring. I recently got back into the gym and my weight loss journey and can be really hard on myself.
Hey Alicia, I just watched your video about your fear of having a second child due to your previous C-section experience. I want to assure you that I understand where you're coming from-I too had a C-section with my first child due to meconium, which can be incredibly scary. I was rushed into emergency surgery because of the situation. But despite the initial fear, I went on to have two more children, and everything turned out just fine. Every pregnancy is different, and while challenges may arise, you've already shown incredible strength. Remember to trust yourself, listen to your body, and follow your doctor's guidance. You've got this! Going through it a second time will require faith, but facing it in fear will only make it harder. Take your time to process, pray over it, and have faith in God and the journey ahead. You're stronger than you know❤
Hey girl. Just putting it out there that having a second child/sibling doesn’t guarantee to reduce the burden of losing a parent or taking care of an older parent. Oftentimes that falls on one (the most responsible) child regardless. If you actually *want* a second child cause you always envisioned having two & your family doesn’t feel complete with one then it’ll be a “nice to have” if it works out where they both jump in to help, are there for each other etc.
I love these talks, which attracted me to your channel years ago - Business/Financial stuff (while pregnant with Alexander)😍. Please do something on tools/tips for multiphasic entrepreneurs, like yourself and Mr. William. Congrats on so much and sorry for your loss. I am excited to see the future of your channel and business ventures. Your book suggestions have been great, esp The Miracle Morning. I am not in the office anymore and rely on witty channels like yours for the latest inspiration and happenings. Much love 💗
Thank you for your transparency! You look fantastic! If I understood you correctly, you're holding off on the decision to have baby #3 (your 1st baby gets a count too) Kudos to you for standing on business with your employer! Life is blessed and busy and I love that for you and your family ❤😊
Blessing of having the option of going into work any days of the week.
I work 20 days out of each month.working the overnight shifts 😢as a certified sterile technician in a hospital.😫that’s 40hrs a week
My mind and body is drained and tired
I enjoyed this video and good luck on your life journey
Thank you for sharing that very detailed info about your weight loss journey. We have a very similar composition and you’re absolutely right, body recomp will have you weighing 180 but looking like you’re 140.
Hey, so I have a book club. I started it 13 years ago with twelve women.our name is The Great Literacy Divas. I love it and have read over 150 books together!We have fundraised and gave scholarships to our seniors at my local high school.
Thank you for discussing your fitness journey. Everything you said confirmed what my trainer said. Girl that 100gms of protein is so hard to do daily. Do, you have a good protein bar you like to eat?. Thanks again and Happy Reading.
Hi! Thanks so much for watching. I LOVE Think protein bars and Ratio yogurt. They are solely responsible for helping me get that 100g intake
Once again you are talking to me about the weight loss because I’ve been going through the same thing myself and mine is a bit more harder since I’m in perimenopause. I have a friend that is a trainer and he told me the same thing about adding more protein to my diet to help me in my weight management journey. It’s good to hear it from you because it serves as reinforcement on my journey. ❤
I appreciate your honesty and vulnerability with sharing your thoughts. Thank you!!!!
Loved everything about this video!
I really enjoyed this video.
All the best going forward with all ure heart desires, keep shining ✨️
Everything you just said about protein, weight loss and weight training along with cardio and drinking your water are FACTS!!! Thanks for the reminder.
Can you share some of your protein recipes, because my current marriage to chicken needs to be broadened.
Your brows are perfection!
You’re awesome! ❤
And baby, as a Bham native, every time you *mention* Bham I just get so excited! I’m up in Huntsville, so I guess I can’t join the book club ventures, but just know I’m sooo proud of you and love your content.
Also…agree on the not quitting your job. Don’t follow these crazy folks that act like social media can’t cut you off at the drop of a dime. Stick with that career, chile. Too many people have become “destitute” messing around with these platforms that change their minds. 🙄 Agree that you can do BOTH! (Although motherhood
S. T. R. E. T. C. H. E. S. you so your perspective may change a bit with baby #2.) Keep being great! ❤
Hi Alicia! Your content is amazing! Love the makeup💄 and your transparency.
The blush….20/10!!!😊
Loved this per usual honey. The makeup, the hair, the transparency, Alexander being enough and also being open for more, you get snatched 💪🏾, sent of course everyone wants to copy the book club - she’s fabulous! Miss you 🫶🏾
I totally understand everything you’re feeling about baby #2. I too had an emergency cesarean. I was scared to even have baby thoughts … for 5 years! Eventually I gave it another go but it was certainly on MY time with the doctor I trusted. My son kept asking for us to make him a brother. Thank God round two wasn’t a girl (lol). My husband is now begging for another…That is not happening! 😊
Be ready when you are. 🙏🏾
I love your content and transparency.
Hello Alicia, thanks for sharing. You always look beautiful to me and looked beautiful throughout your pregnancy, whatever makes you feel good. Also do whatever makes you happy.💜
Wow! This was very interesting post, Sis! I def appreciate ur transparency! Especially the weight loss part. Our journeys are quite similar and ur sense of humor really made me see even more of my myself when u said the nutritionist ‘must have lost her mind’!! 😂😂😂So glad, u stuck with it, u look absolutely phenomenal!!
ALSO LOOOVE UR MAKEUP!
You are truly inspiring. That said, strength training/weight lifting has truly been a game changer in my weight loss journey as well. I'm currently 20 lbs heavier than when I started college 30 years ago, yet 2 clothing sizes smaller. Weight training always intimidated me but I've been training for about 3 yrs now and love it. Also, I agree that if you can , get a dietician, trainer, food prepper. ..whatever you need. Thank you for being an inspiration!
You are Amazing! Keep up the great work!
I work from home exclusively….we have no office to go into so there will never be a change……but if there was I’d quit immediately. As a CPA you can totally find a 100% virtual!
Beautiful hair, beautiful makeup. Great conversation ❤
Take your time! I had a scary c section delivery and I did not want to think about having another baby! But four years later I longed for one and then it took me another four years to get pregnant!
Love this video, so inspiring. You're right about the protein. I have to find 151g everyday! 😩
Enjoyed the vlog💕💕
Flawless makeup look!
Thank you for sharing! We had a similar birth experience & I am also second guessing another one! My doctor also said it could happen again.
Thanks fr sharing sis...bless u...u r looking amazing...❤❤❤...
Hi Alicia. Your content is truly top tier! I appreciate your transparency! This video was so needed for me, so thank you! If you don’t mind sharing, what was your go to, or favorite protein choices to reach 100 grams a day? You look absolutely amazing!!
Think protein bars, Ratio yogurt, and jerkey! I keep these 3 in my house and when I travel, I always try to have these travel with me
Perfect! Thank you so much!! 😊
Please try to use a black adoption agency if you go thar route--I did not because I didn’t know such existed. I was unlucky in adopting, but I still encourage others to go for it! Good luck!
Great chat.
I think you look great!! Can you share some of your healthy go to meals and snacks?
Think protein bars, Ratio yogurt, and jerkey! I keep these 3 in my house and when I travel, I always try to have these travel with me
As far as meals, I still keep our normal meals but find ways to incorporate more protein. I use barilla + protein pasta instead of the usual. Switch our normal taco shells for low carb high protein ones. It takes a little time but it definitely worth it
Great chat🦋
The tip about protein and lifting. I lost weight quickly walking and doing cardio routines but I wasn't doing any weights 😑 now I am trying to continue but tone at the same time.
Thank you for sharing
Enjoyed Alicia!!!
Thank you 🙏
im right here with the weight loss....Protein ,water, &weights.....
Hi Alicia! ❤ your content and can definitely relate to the “you’re so skinny” comments due to lifting but the # ain’t #’ing lol. What eyeliner do you use for your waterline?? Currently I use Urban Decay but looking for a different brand. Thanks in advance!
Great video! What is the green color highlighting the corners of your eye? Is it a eye shadow stick or an eye shadow pallet color? I don't see it listed
It’s an eyeshadow pallet color but the pallet is discontinued. It’s in her “Back in my hosting era” blog. I’m here entirely too much 😆
Yeah it’s the Julia’s Place masquerade palette but is not longer available. I have seen them on Poshmark and eBay
Enjoyed😊🥰
You look amazing at 172. I wish one day and I’m working hard on my own can’t afford a trainer. Now I get it protein is what I need I lift and that scale hasn’t moved or a change in clothing.
The back to office could be associated with the company already having paid for the lease on the building. That was a factor have seen in corporate push back to the office.
Thanks for sharing 😊😊😊
Would you do a video on various undergarments especially shapewear?
It was great chatting with you but as to the book club can you share the book titles especially when it’s a good read thanks. Praying God will alleviate your fears
I love the lose it app lol I need to be strict with it again
IMO I wouldn't encourage a baby for a baby (child).
I hv siblings (4) and became the caregiver for my mom and did it alone. It felt alone...bc there often was noone to take the brunt of the work.
Have a baby bc you and Will want, have time & energy for another. You are a YT fav-love your content 💚
Enjoyed
❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤#CPA!
Amen to dietitians
You're right! Muscle takes up less space on the body than fat, so someone can weight a fair amount but not look fat.
No workouts
Let me say this.There so much out there that help. You got to do your part. We are different do you. 😮😮
Waiting for baby #2.
❤❤❤
