- hey boos! back with another semi-relaxing vlog. whew, i honestly didn't have it in me to be on camera being my "best-self". but, i still wanted to document the not so joyous moments to highlight the realities of my life and experience living alone. it's not always as glamorous as it looks on the internet.
some nights are low and filled with feelings of sadness, while others feel like the best times of my life. i'm learning to be ok with my emotions ebbing and flowing. i hope this motivates any one of you to take care of your mental health and practice deepening your level of self-awareness when it comes to your emotions.
in the end, it always gets better. everything might not be alright, but it gets better. i love y'all!!
i hope your week is going amazing! take care all ways, always. enjoy! xo ❣️

Tears are your body's way of releasing stress. Love the dining table and chairs. Great style.
I can't even remember the last time that I cried. I love living alone(56, widow). Peace is awesome!
53 here and same. It is highly underrated.😂 I think your perspective is different once you have been married and had to share your space with others for so many years. After that you really appreciate having your own space in a whole new way. Blessings!
@@cb4664right, if you already lived half your life and had kids marriage career.. its different but for those who haven’t experienced all 3 it can be very challenging
Thank you mani for always being vulnerable with us, because we all are human & honestly we all have emotions. I am also single + living alone! & i sometimes crave for that love from another being bcus i am full of LOVE, but what God has in store for me, for you will be worth the wait !!! Never be afraid to let it out, I’m here we are here on this journey with you. Love you sista, some days are always better than others but it will all get better. The advice I’m giving out, i am also taking in. I LOVE U MANI
awwww, queen!! thank you so much for your kind words! i truly appreciate you 🥹💖 being single AND living alone is teaching me so, so much about myself. i know that when it is time for my person to show up for me it'll all be alright as i continue to learn so much about myself on my own 💖 cheers to us on this journey!!
Thank you for the transparency. Very relatable. Living alone can be awesome and peaceful and sometimes down right lonely. Such as life. I appreciate the authenticity.
Put the small rug in front of the tub and the bigger mat in front of the sink. You only step out the shower and be there for a minute you stand in front of the sink longer so the bigger rug will be practical there ☺️ so enjoyed your vlog apartment and decor! New sub ✌🏾👍🏾
Hello! I just discovered your channel and I appreciate your way of showing your life, with transparency. I' m a black French girl who lives alone with my two cats and it's ok. I' m pleased to see an other black girl 's lifestyle. Have a good time! 👋🏾
Baby girl you’re doing well for yourself. That’s a very nice apartment and you handling it all. Strong independent woman.
just found your channel and been binging your videos, really enjoy your transparency, amazing videos ❤️
love how honest this is ❤ your channel is so refreshing, thank you for being real
Sometimes I think it just be our hormones. I have these episodes of sadness, try to get into nature, watch comedies, and sometimes it’s good to start a journal to document those moments.
Thanks for your transparency. I remember feeling very emotional a couple months into living alone even though it was what I really wanted. It took some time to understand why I was feeling so weird
girl, living alone is A LOT. the sadness definitely hits a random times and I just go through the motions. i hope it gets better for you! 💖
Wow @the beginning of the vid. thank you for sharing this. So relatable. You deff gained a subscriber. I loved how quiet some parts of the video were and that you didn't fill them with music. Some people don't realize how quiet it gets when living alone. 💗
Love your content so much like I’ve been watching all your videos back to back bc where you are is exactly where I am! All my friends are married with kids and I’m single it gets lonely but I’m glad I’m not alone so happy I found your videos
Seeing your name in my notification bar has certainly been the highlight of my morning! Thank you for allowing us to witness such vulnerable moments, so brave of you, and relatable on multitude of levels. 💜💜💜
awwww, i'm so happy to hear my love!! Really just doing my best to be the girl i wish i saw when i was younger 💖
First of all, you look super cute in this video. Your braids, hair and makeup are so natural and cute. Love the hoops on you too. Second of all, your honesty is so refreshing! Your channel is normalizing authenticity. Thirdly, what is that bomb azz song at the end of the vlog (while you’re arranging your new desk) I done rewound like four times to run it back 🔥🔥
Sometimes I do that. I cry. Especially when I'm eating alone. I recently got back to the city in my new place and it's another adjustment to get used to being alone again.
whew, sometimes the feeling of loneliness is just SO heavy that a good cry is needed! sending you the warmest hugs on your new journey in the city! 💖 we got this!
Simply one of the best vlogs I've watched in a while. The authenticity is what did it for me. Thank you for showing the lows, it was really refreshing and so validating in a way that you don't know girl. xx love from South Africa x
Found your page a few days ago & have been watching ever since. Love your videos & vibes! Currently a girl in her 20’s trying to move out on her own for the first time & this series is everything 🥰❤️ Wishing you luck on your continued journey to healing , growing & evolving.
I like the bathroom mat im front of the toilet. Also reorganizing or doing a home reset always help my mental health when I'm feeling blah or stagnant. Love the new added pieces.
I’m so proud to see a smart go getter!!! I don’t know you’re back story but I’m sure glad I found your channel .
This is my first time even seeing you in my suggestions and idk why I clicked but I LOVED everything about the video. The silent vlog at the beginning to the venerable moments. AND THEN THE BOONDOCKS CLIP?!!! Girl I subscribed
Your future self is going to be so grateful that you truly created space to go through the feeeels!
this is the first video of yours that ive watched and i absolutely adore you girl! you seem like the most humble, fun and sweetest person and im here for it!
aw, thank you so so much! i appreciate you and your kind words. thank you for being here! 🥰💖
Love your vulnerability although not that you were sad. Great style and apartment xx
If you like that hand soap you would love the Baylis and Harding oud cedar and amber soap from target
you’re soooo real for this ❤️😍
Your skin is everything!!! Gorgeous!
thank you so, so much sis!
Ugh 😩 I just wanted to give you the tightest hug when u were eating dinner. I know that feeling of Sadness that just comes from nowhere. 🥺🥹 ty for being vulnerable & okay with not being ok.
awwww, girrrrrl that's all I would have loved in the moment!! A huuuuge hug! that sadness hits different in the evening, especially on a Friday night 😭
@@AmaniRakeia Awwh well virtual hug then 💓💓💓🥹💗 🫶🏾🫶🏾
Thank you for sharing! I love your videos. One of my favorite content creators. You will go so far!
aw, thank you so so much my love! i truly appreciate your kind words!! 🥺💖
It’s okay sis I feel like that a lot of the time. It’s okay to feel sad and to cry. I’m happy that you found a way to feel happy as well. It’s hard to deal with the feeling of sadness. Dinner looks yummy. I love the items you picked up. I would have put the longer on in front of the sink and the smaller one in front of the shower. ❤ I’m still in love with you is one of my songs.. I like the mix between the acrylic and the wood look. It’s the sunset for me. I need a standing desk🤩
Love the dining chairs.
Happy to see another vlog. I like the second set up in the bathroom and you could move the long rug between the sink and tub as needed or maybe just get another long rug.
so happy to finally be posting again!! i ended up putting the small rug in front of the toilet and the long one in front of the sink and it works pretty well!! lolol.
I felt the same way this past weekend, especially since I wasn’t able to go to wireless sometimes; living alone can be a bit overwhelming and lonely, but that’s the price of peace, I guess. Sometimes adulthood is the ghetto 😒
awwww, babes. i totally feel you and i also get really bad FOMO when i don't go out to places. it definitely feels a bit overwhelming, which no one talks about. adulting is sooooo ghetto! no one prepared me for this mess!! lolol sending you love and hugs! 💖💖💖💖
Does the shower liner come with magnets that attach to the tub? That may help.
Glad you’re back mama🤎
i'm so happy to be back boo!!
THANKS FOR SHARING 🙏🏾 this is real life at times and sometimes it’s ok to let out a good cry. I do mines in the shower and let the water run down from my head. Then I laugh while oiling up then go take a walk then to Tjoes for good food and flowers.
I’m still in the midst of furnishing my home. It’s a been a process. I feel like I need to hurry and get it done. But then I want to take my time. I sometimes get overwhelmed by all the choices. But then when I do purchase it takes forever to come due to supply chain, especially custom pieces. I am having fun with the experience since I got rid of everything when I moved and I started over from scratch scratch lol. I’m glad you’re aware of yourself and what helps to alleviate the sadness, even if for awhile. It may seem lonely but the cycle you’re breaking of not settling in romantic relationships is saving you additional trauma and therapy. It hurts now but you’ll be infinitely grateful later when the someone who was worth waiting for makes his arrival. I want that for you and a deep abiding and lasting love. I want that for myself too. I legit talk about the husband I’m manifesting out loud (to myself) like he’s already here with me lol. I know it sounds weird but it helps me a little sometimes lol. Keep running the race, lil sis. We’ll both get there. 💖
crying and eating hits different, I don't know why
it's like it's fueling the emptiness you feel and restoring your energy lolol
Thank you so much for being transparent! I live alone and have been feeling very similar for the past month 🥺 also for the bathroom rugs, how does two smaller ones sound? One near the sink and one near the tub? If not, the second option works!
awwww babes, ugh damn we're all feeling it, huh? we need a virtual support group or somethiiiing lolol.🥹💖💖💖 i ended up putting the smaller one in front of the toilet and the larger one in front of the sink, so i still have it close enough to the front of the shower too. the design of my bathroom is so wonky lol.
Love this vlog girl!! You make me wanna redecorate my whole house and clean!!! But with a husband and 3 kids I could never 😂U should put the longer rug by the sink and the shorter one by the tub
thank you for sharing with us
💖💖💖
Yea I realllly like this Channel 😢❤.
hey love hope all is well! thank your for this vlog. I’ve found your channel i think last month or so and forgot to subscribe. randomly i just got a notification! lol
i like the short mat in front of the toilet. i love having a rug in front of the sink also but another king one wouldn’t look right. But i love your aesthetic. Where did you get your curtain?
Hi, I've gotten to the point where I buy 2 large ones(rugs) instead of the smaller rug (Bathroom) and I don't like rugs by the toilet anymore! I have boyz!!
🖤🖤🖤
woohoo, she is back!
back she isss!!! 🥰
after seeing your recent vids and the ones from a year ago popping up, the way you have random sad moments that lead to you crying and then being okay, have you considered bipolar disorder. too often people think bipolar is an extreme rage to an extreme low but often its not.
I love standing desks, I just got a fezibo one ☺️
ahhh, yes! me too sis! my workflow has improved so much! let me know your experience 🥰
@@AmaniRakeia I love it so far, I'm already spoiled rotten 🤣🤣
Enjoyed!
I like the full video.😁
that Jam Jar is the truth!!!
girrrrrl you know it's allll i drink!!
I love you girl..I can relate also sometimes ❤love from SA
How can I find your current blogs?
Put the big mat under the sink and the smaller one outside the shower x
Maybe try switching the rugs around put the larger one in front of the sink and smaller one in front of the tub🤔
Si la soledad es un Dulce veneno que te atraviesa el alma 😊
Hey gal we missed you😘
hi boo!! i've missed y'all sooooo much! 🥹💖
The shower curtain should have weights or a magnet at either end that you can get to stick to the tub
girrrrrl the magnets are soooo tiny they won't even stick!! i gotta find something to attach on Amazon. will be back with an update lmao 💖
How do you play the music without getting copy written?!
girrrrl, i be on my soundcloud hunt!! i look for the right remixes and flips of certain songs!
@@AmaniRakeia thanks for that! Im gonna try it! 💓💓💗💗
Just get some artwork for bathroom and it wii be perfect
Are you a water sign? I used to feel sad, cried and depressed when I lived alone all the time and it really didn’t improve for me until I lived closer to family
When does it get better, Jesus?
Mani momo
hehe, i know whoever this is family! only the real know that nickname!! 😂💖
Next time go to God in prayer when you are feeling sad. And dive deep into worship. You will feel better
Don't you wash your onions
That cartoon boy you keep letting in your bedroom is a big part of your problem. If you want to be married you have to be more intentional in your approach with men. Let them know in the beginning you want to be married. Stop wasting your time. Depression, self pity is a recipe for weight gain and unwanted pregnancies. Yes, sex can feel good while you’re doing it. But the aftermath for especially Women can be devastating when theirs no real relationship. If you’re already prone to depression I promise you booty calls is only going to make things worse. And the wine, just stop. Seek Jesus while he may be found.
