I definitely get where you are coming from with the long distance being tough. My boyfriend and I were dating for over two years when he moved five hours away. It's been really tough but it's absolutely worth it when you finally see each other again. And having Skype and calling helps so much more because you can actually see/hear their voice and face and it's so much easier to communicate. It's also beneficial that they're not there all the time because you can spend time with your friends and focus on yourself too. :)
I was in a long distance relationship for almost two years with my high school boyfriend and it was one of the hardest things of my life. I hate to say it but it never gets easier but it does become easier to manage. We've been together four years now and I swear to you that when its all said and done you guys will share something even more special when you are back together and it will feel even better than before, so hang in there girl I feel you :)
Lexie! I'm also doing long distance with my boyfriend of 4 years. We've only been dating long distance for a year though, after high school graduation (because of college). It was SO hard in the beginning. I didn't think I could do it all... my boyfriend actually wanted a break, but i told him no. he was either in this for good or not. It's now our second year in college and everything seems so much better. Sure, long distance still SUCKS, but it does get much easier. My boyfriend and I try to video chat daily and we make sure we have ways to communicate. I wish you and Finely the best, girl!
I'm a vegetarian, and one of my favorite meals/ snacks is definitley morning star farms veggie burgers with hummus and spinach. It is high in protein and under 200 calories per burger. Its also a great transitional food if you're moving from carnivore to vegetarian.
aw Lexie I love these type of videos! Please do the what your mother doesn't tell you about long distance relationships, I think it would be really interesting :)
I would love videos about you becoming vegan:) I just became vegan a month ago & I have been vegetarian for a few months now. Also my boyfriend of two years is in the navy & deploying in July:( so the long distance tips are great too!
I went vegan like 4 months ago and it was hands down the greatest thing ever. Just make sure to do your research so you are getting nutrients you need and eating enough! You need to eat much more on a vegan diet because plants aren't as calorie dense as meat and dairy!
I love your makeup in this :) I definitely get you on the vegan-ish thing too! For the past two years I've been really careful with what I eat so I'll only have organic free range eggs from small, local farms and on rare occasion I'll have chicken but again, organic (still not ideal but my hope is that if it's organic they'd have to take better care of it) and free range. I also avoid trawler-caught fish and try to buy line/pole-caught but it's damn hard to find. Eventually I'll probably go vegan except for eggs because I don't see a problem there as long as the source is okay and it's easy protein but my diet is already mainly veg, fruit, nuts and lentils/beans. I've been at university since September and living alone definitely makes it easier because I can experiment knowing the food won't be wasted but the only problem is the price.
PLEASE do a video going more in depth about long distance relationships. My bf moved 5 hours away. It's only until I move there in May but I've never been long distance
What I've recently started doing is looking at all of the vegan/plant based recipes on Pinterest and just changing little ingredients every time I make it for a little mix up :)
I'm so excited that you're getting interested in a plant-based diet! Would you make it into a lifestyle as well? Not using leather, not using makeup that is tested on animals, etc?
this is more of a favorite healthy meal i've been having a lot lately and i'm obsessed with it! it's vegan too :) i make rice and then steam spinach or kale and mix it into the rice along with avocado and put some balsamic vinegar and it is SO good and so easy
I love your content and I think you're really talented but the main reason I subscribed is because I love listening to your voice. You have a beautiful speaking voice lol. Just me?
My favorite snack is either smokehouse almonds (eating them right now actually lol), mini oranges, or cliff bars! (not really a snack but it's a really good thing to like have in your bag when you get hungry while you're out and don't wanna eat fast food :) Oh! Unrelated but I also love Wendy's salads!! Apple pecan chicken salad is bae
I am currently reading "The Engine 2 Diet" book and it is about plant based eating and comes with lots of recipes. It has good info and has some food myths. I would also recommend watching Forks Over Knives on Netflix which is positive for plant based eating and has research from doctors. I love oats with natural nut butter, cinammon, fruit, and nuts. I hope your vegan journey is going well.
Bananas are the shit girl especially in oatmeal in the morning. Favorite snack! Also best of luck to you and Finely you'll make it no doubt about it :)
PLANT BASED DIET. lexie, id love if you could do one about it. some people are so ignorant about it and id love if a beauty guru could like get people into it. thank you and love youu.
I completely agree about having a plant based diet helping the planet, I'd like to go vegan, eventually, and am proud of myself because I haven't had pork in so long! It's just hard 1. being in a hispanic household and 2. having a boyfriend who swears that bacon is god. He doesn't fully support me wanting to go vegan, but I'd like to get there. Slowly, I'm cutting meat & dairy out & eating a whole lot more veggies & fruit. And I'm sending all of the good vibes I have your way, you and Finely are perfect for each other, I swear the love you guys have for each other is real. I wish nothing but the best for you two. My fave snack that I sometimes eat for breakfast [good pre-workout snack, too]: Whole Wheat toast with avocado mixed with a hint of salt, pepper and evoo, i spread that baby onto my whole wheat slice, then get a boiled egg and sliced that bad boy on top. #heaven
I feel so much better when fruits and vegetables are the base of my diet! I have so much more energy and life in me! My biggest struggle has been the social aspect. I don't know any vegans personally, so the majority of the time I'm at a party, a late night snack run with friends, eating out for dinner, or a family get-together, the food is meat and dairy based. Ex. Pizza, BBQs, Hamburgers & Hotdogs, etc. So I can definitely relate to your struggle. As for the boyfriend, I've talked so much about it, that it's begun to rub off on Finley (*goes to room and starts chanting*) and some days, he'll text me pictures of vegetables he's made! It makes me so happy. He still loves meat, but it's a start. Thank you for the kind words about us, it really means a whole lot to me, and also him (I just copy and pasted your comment to him in a text). We believe in each of us as individuals, but also as a union, but it's AMAZING to hear that we're not the only ones who believe in "us." Thanks girl
Lexie Lombard See, I don't have any vegan friends either, but all of my friends are respectful of my veganism. They also know that I can find something to eat anywhere I go, I think it's a skill you pick up as a vegan. Most of the time you can just google "vegan at (insert retaurant name here)" and someone else has already done the work for you. I can imagine being in a hispanic household and being vegan wouldn't be too hard, a lot of the food is centered around beans and rice mostly, right? Also, if it's something that you really want to do then you shouldn't let your boyfriends opinion of it affect your decision. Your boyfriend's opinion may be important, but going vegan has so many health and environmental benefits, not to mention that the animals will thank you! :)
amberholla_ Beans and rice are big in hispanic food, but a lot more central and south american countries eat more veggies. My mother & mother in law are both Puerto Rican and every meal has some type of meat - ham, steak, chicken, beef, pork. If it's not on the side, then they actually put it into the rice. I've been working on buying my own veggies, because both my bf and mother in law hate veggies, so I'm slowly working my way there. I agree, my bfs opinion is important, but I def know that my body specifically will totally benefit going vegan. My mother in law [who i live with] supports me, she's even accommodates her cooking now, I just hope that he eventually starts, at least, understanding my views. I was a vegetarian for 3 years, mainly because I don't believe in the way factories kill animals - its so inhumane, but i wasn't eating properly due to not having the right foods at home. So I'm trying to go about it the right way, and easing into it. I have faith in myself. Thank you for your comment, I'll def be doing more research!
My boyfriends and I have been doing semi- long distance for a year and a half (He comes home for christmas and easter and summer as he is at Uni) and its tough but you aren't alone :P
Hey, good on you for heading towards a plant-based diet. I have been vegan for a little over a year now and have never felt better. I hope you can stick with it and get all the great benefits! :)
Lexie please look up Dr McDougall, he promotes a high carb/starch based plant based diet and starting it was the best desicion I've ever made. There are some youtubers that are on it if you want to look up "starch solution".
Go go vegan! And talk more about it especially if its a plantbased diet. The world really needs another active enlightened perspective :) freelee is great once you get past the uncomfortable feeling that shes speficially targeting you or other people, you understand where shes coming from , and the reason for her fierce passion! Check out fullyraw kristina, rawana, amd dara if you want more insight on whole plant based vegan lifestyle. And the best way to stay commited to the lifestyle is understanding why you're doing it and the positive impact youre making allaround (even if at times it feels more bad than good socially). I went fully vegan over a year ago to start 2014 with a healthy beginning mainly for my health, and stuck with it for the animals ♡ best decision of my life :) no doubt! Stay motivated. Watch earthlings if you havent yet, and keep shining bright Leslie you rock!! ♥
I went vegetarian almost 5 years ago :D best decision evaar, I feel great. lol and I feel the same way about fruit with peels xD theyre so convenient. reminds me of the old icarly episode when sam just showed off an orange for her enviroment project.
omg please go vegan! I've been completely vegan for the past 6 and a half months and it's the best decision I've made thus far. Not only are you helping animals but you're helping yourself ☺️
im so glad you're going vegan!! stick to it and you wont regret it :) i would recommend reading 80/10/10 just for important information and arguments for the movement, but whether you are fully raw or not shouldnt really matter too much :)
It's not a 100% healthy snack. Butttt banana bell peppers. Mild banana bell peppers in the jar are delicious! I can eat a whole jar of those in one sitting
Way too short of a video Lexie! Your positivity radiates. In sit down videos like this, 4 minutes is not enough!
I guess you'll just have to watch more videos hehe :)
I'm not sure what this means haha but omg you replied hi
i love freelee!!! she's so knowledgable and has such a powerful aura :D
I just love how you're yourself in this video and stay positive throughout whatever your going through.

You remind me of Serena Van Der Woodsen so much!!! 😂
Omg yes the hair and her smile are so similar!!!
Yassss omg from gossip girl

I love freelee! I've been binge watching her videos and she's so amazing, plant based diets are the way to goooooo!! Loved this video too Lexie xx
Or just advice on anything boy/high school related! You're really fun to watch and I love what you have to say! Your positivity is amazing (:
you seem like a genuinely intelligent person and it makes me so excited to watch yo videos!!
Yes, plant-based diets ARE the way to go! So glad you're sharing your passion for veganism on your channel. You have a new subscriber out of me! :-)
what your mother doesn't tell you about - moving
I'm a vegetarian, and one of my favorite meals/ snacks is definitley morning star farms veggie burgers with hummus and spinach. It is high in protein and under 200 calories per burger. Its also a great transitional food if you're moving from carnivore to vegetarian.
LEXIE PLEASE DO A "WHAT YOUR MOTHER DOESNT TELL YOU ABOUT SCHOOL DANCES" VIDEO (ps ilysm😊)
aw Lexie I love these type of videos! Please do the what your mother doesn't tell you about long distance relationships, I think it would be really interesting :)

Or healthy eating
I love your makeup in this :) I definitely get you on the vegan-ish thing too!

You are beautiful and soo well spoken!
What do you eat to get your protein? I am a veggie and am always worried I don't eat enough x
If you eat enough plants you should get enough protein!! Foods like beans, nuts, soy milk -are high in it.
SnoWhiteSally you dont need a lot of protein, look up dr. mr dougall
I went to get a banana while watching this because I have been craving one since yesterday!!
Apples are one of my favorite snacks, and clementines
I went vegetarian almost 5 years ago :D best decision evaar, I feel great. lol and I feel the same way about fruit with peels xD theyre so convenient. reminds me of the old icarly episode when sam just showed off an orange for her enviroment project.
I don't really have snacks but i have an obsession with bananas and apples !
