Reading everyone’s comments isn’t it so lovely how Allie has built such a lovely community where people feel like we know her personally like she is a close friend. Can’t help but feel genuinely happy for her how well she is doing xx
I was about to almost say the similar thing ❤ you expressed it even better. For years, she seems like "A so pleasant feeling" as a close friend truly. Love you Allie ❤ From - BHARAT🇮🇳
I have learned to identify wisdom in others and encourage it. You have great wisdom. You are introspective, contemplative, and know yourself well. Continue your journey. You are far beyond your years.
I'm 70 and it is remarkable how many things you touched on are things I wish I had known at 30. You are wise already my friend. My only addition but is more of a side note, it's ok to feel grief. True deep grief WILL bring you to your knees and you will make a noise you didn't think you were capable of. Go with it and don't try to stifle it and be in it. After you start to move out of the deepest part, start to name things you are grateful for. Whether on paper or just reciting things in your head, it helps. However small the item, it counts and it helps. Hearing your list today had many good reminders for me. I will have to watch again and write your list. They are that good!
Piece of advice recently that really resonated with me, "Your worth is not derived by what you produce. You are so much more than your work." It lifted so much stress! Also, heck yes on painting your nails! I totally agree.
53 year old here...but I'm sharing one from my dad..."don't get too high in the high or too low in the lows". For me, it's simple, but powerful. Happy Birthday Allie! Thank you for sharing your journey with us! Can't wait to see what is next!
I'm sixty two Allie.. YESSSSSSSS! When I turned thirty I felt like people took me far more seriously than my twenties. The advice I can give you, that I've lived by is - ALWAYS be willing to learn something new. also, be willing to give up old friendships if they're not serving you any longer, or asking you to give up more of yourself than they're willing to extend❤.
I’m only three minutes in and this is the therapy I needed today 💖 I’ve been telling myself “soft is strong” recently, and it resonates with who I used to be as a kid and who I want to be
Allie….a p.s. here…As the candles on my birthday cake have increased, I have come to know that so much of what I worried about, what I thought other people thought….my weight, my legs(definitely from my dad)… just so many things I have come to realize didn’t matter at all. Now, at 72, I am grateful for strong legs that keep me going, for a healthy body that allows me to experience life, for a husband who after 55 years is still my best friend, for my 2 children with whom I have a wonderful relationship …these are the really important things in life…so I am very blessed🙏❤
51 here: You’re wise beyond your years Allie. A lot of what you mentioned resonated so much with me. 1 piece of advice I could share with you as a mom, enjoy every second, take it all in. Happy birthday Allie. 🥳🎊🎉 🙏🏻
Happy Birthday, Allie! As someone who turned 40 on her last birthday, your 30's are going to be amazing. Personally, I grew much more self confident and comfortable with myself in my 30's. You had two babies (your daughter and your business) in your 20's so I feel like you're going to really blossom in your new decade. Have a wonderful birthday, my dear!
Okay now I want a monthly video called « What I’ve learned this month. » My makeup never looked so good than today, I was just doing my makeup, listening to you and it just turned out to be so beautiful, so me 👌🏽 I’m 32 and the biggest lesson I’ve learned and what I think about everyday now is: it all changed when I started saying thank you instead of please. Be grateful for what is here in your life and make the most out of it instead of always asking life for more and more and being frustrated constantly. ❤ with love, Amelie
My 30's were the best! Wishing you the happiest birthday Allie!!! 🎉🎉 As someone who will be 52 soon this is my advice. Make the most of the life you have and do not dwell on the life you have always imagined. What that means is this .. we all have an image in our head of what our life "should be"...by 30 I'll be married, by 40 I'll have kids, a great job, l'll be famous, etc. Instead take that imaginary life picture, hang it in a wall and go live your real life. Stop being self-sabotaging by measuring your life against an imaginary image.
You really are such a safe space. I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels that way and it’s insane that you’ve been able to convey that sincerity through a screen. At the root of it, it’s just makeup, but you have made it so much more for me. Happy birthday 💕
Happy Birthday, Allie!!! I'll be 51 next month. One thing I really embraced after turning 50 is you're never too old to focus on feeling beautiful. I love your channel, your makeup bags, and your lipsticks❤
I agree with this wholeheartedly. I just turned 50 over the summer and started to focus on feeling beautiful, taking time to take care of my skin & to learn how to use and apply makeup (which is how I found your channel). Happy birthday Allie, I hope your 30’s are your best decade yet!
Allie, you are such a wonderful addition to my viewing pleasure. Here are a few things that I've learned over the past 6+ decades: "Things happen for a reason." Rather than think about why bad things happen, think about what you can learn from the experience. (I suffer from depression and rather than feeling burdened by it, I am grateful for it, because I can have compassion for my students who suffer from mental illness.) "Be grateful." When you appreciate the goodness in life, you can be more positive about ALL aspects of your life, the good and the bad. "Share your love and appreciation for others OUT LOUD." It can be as simple as, "Thank you for being my friend." When was the last time that any of us thanked a waiter/waitress for their hard work. It really matters! Again, Allie, I so appreciate your hard work and your talents. I have learned so much from you. ❤❤❤
Happy birthday sweetheart! You will learn more as time continues on for you. I am 46 myself next month and I reassure you, life gets better as you grow wiser 😊
Hi Allie. I turned 56 in Dec.. I have 3 grown sons. Things I have learned: gratitude is a key to happiness. Every day I am present within my self and think about what I am grateful for that day and has brought me joy in that day. Positivity attracts positivity. Everything is easier to deal with even difficult things if you start with a positive mindset and a grateful heart……I have also learned from my father, No fool no fun. Life is too short not to enjoy it and not to make memories with those you love. Experiences and memories will sustain you…..Traditions old and new are important and your children will remember them fondly. ….Kindness is everything… those are just a few things I’ve learned.
Having children and getting older is such a blessing. It changes you for the better, in my opinion. That's been my experience. Not caring what people think about you except for the people you love and truly care about is so freeing. It's wonderful for your sanity and happiness.
Happy Birthday to someone who is beautiful inside and out! You had a lot of great tips that resonated with me. To add: Pray- the power of prayers is amazing Communicate-the key to everyday life- work, marriage, friendship etc. Listen- some people just need a comforting ear without judgement.
I was 53 last month & a couple of things I've learned over the years. It's ok to say no. If something sounds too good to be true, it most likely is. Always follow your gut instinct, if something feels off 99.9% of the time it is. You only have 1 chance to make a first impression. A mother's instinct should ALWAYS be considered & listened to. Happy 30th birthday Allie 🎂 🥳 🎉
I couldn’t agree more I’m trying 30 this year and have had so many times in my life I saw something to good to be true and I’ve trusted my gut also opinion of my mom and I’m so glad I did & have seen so many friends end up in bad situations because they ignored the feeling
Happy Birthday! I've been a mom for 38 years, I've got four kiddos and I love being a mom, it's the hardest and most rewarding calling ever! Enjoy your time with your kiddos, time goes so fast, but I love the relationship I have with my adult kids now! I love your channel and although I'm a mature woman, I still learn a lot of beauty skills and goals from you! Side Note: I started my dream of going to grad school in my *cough* 50s and I am now a professor! It's never too late!
I am 22 and this felt like advice from the big sister I never had. As a chronic people pleaser, it feels so refreshing to hear that it’s okay to say no. Your perspective really resonated with me. Thanks, Allie 💕
Happy birthday!💕 Thank you for the life lessons Allie, I needed to hear this. I am now 27 and started a full time job in an office but I already feel that I want to do something else. My dream is to have some sort of shop with cute pet products I designed myself. It is just really scary because I want to have a stable income. But I took my first steps and printed some of my own cards and am doing commissions for people. It makes me so happy! I don’t know how this will go further, but you are right- you don’t have to have all the answers in order to start something. Life goes fast and I want to do the things that make me happy, so I will try to pursue them 💕
@@adinamckenzie8460 thank you so much! 💕 Indeed and even if it is just a hobby I have found a great one :) You often regret the things you don’t do and not the things you do
Start small and work your way up. Commissions, then maybe an ETSY shop or local farmers market booth, etc., then a brick and mortar storefront. Your generation's greatest gift is thinking and trying outside the traditional boxes. ❤️
"No is a complete answer." I LOVE THAT and I really struggle with that. Like you I am a people pleaser and care about what other people think and feel.
Happy Birthday, Allie! Your 30’s are the time when you start to shed so many of the insecurities, criticism, and fears that have held you back from being your fullest self. The weight of other opinions and pressure of forcing yourself into a mold is no longer worth the wrestling and efforts that hold you back. It was when I finally set down so much of the baggage and expectations of life and myself that had been a burden on my journey and I just allowed myself to breathe and be present. Life is so much more enjoyable now that I gave myself the permission to just be me - curious, creative, unique, flawed, strong, sensitive, ambitious, capable, fearful, soft, passionate, bold, evolving and all the other adjectives we as women are often told are too untamed to be worthy of display. Welcome to all the colorful beauty of your 30s, Allie! I think you will like it here. 💜
You are like my everyday "revival". You make me feel rejuvenated and refreshed. You really cleanse my soul , spirit, and mind. That's really peaceful and calming. You really do revive me. Thanks Allie.
I’m 25 and I feel like I’m ready to be thirty, flirty, and thriving! 💗 Happy birthday Allie! You’ve accomplished so much and such an amazing role model to many around the world!
Happy Birthday, Allie! I turned 70 years old my last birthday and sometimes, I still have a hard time saying 'no'. Your 30 things are all spot on...stay true to them. Enjoy your birthday...wishing many blessings for you in this next decade!
I’ve waited to watch this video, because I am now a few days away from turning 30 myself. I have very mixed feelings about it. So many of the comments here have given me such peace of mind. I am so blessed to be where I am today. Sometimes I find it hard to count my blessings, and this year I’m ready to embrace growing older, I will not feel sad for the things I don’t have, and I will be so grateful to be surrounded by my loved ones. In my 20’s I did so many incredible things. I quit drinking, smoking and using drugs. I got married. I went back to school and started a career, and I’ve gained a lot of experience and confidence in myself. I bought a house with my husband. I made new friends that I love and trust and have a healthy relationship with. There are many things I wish I had done before 30, but I am ready to embrace the fact that I can’t go back in time to do those things. If they’re worth my effort, I can still achieve any goal I set my mind to.
At 43 I have to admit that my early thirties were the some of the best and most difficult times of my life. I didn’t slow down until I had my daughter right after I turned 36. It’s been a rewarding and extremely educational time. I have 2 rules/ lessons I try to always remember. 1) My daughter is now 7 and I also work with preschoolers so I’m constantly with very young children. I tell them all the time that we never stop learning! I learn just as much from them as they learn from me. There will always be something new to learn no matter or age and and no matter how knowledgeable we are, we will never know everything. 2) I also have always believed in the phrase “Be kinder than necessary for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.” At times this is most difficult but it has helped me so much with maintaining compassion and has improved my conflict resolution skills as an adult. And now after watching this, I have to say that #13 is something I really needed to hear and like I said earlier, we never stop learning and this was the push I think I needed right now. 😊 I’m grateful for the time you’ve taken to share these lessons you have worked so hard to learn! Happy birthday!!🎉 I hope you enjoy your day immensely!🥳
Happy, happy birthday, Allie ♥️ I've literally watched you since you did Tylan's makeup YEARS ago!!!! You've perhaps unknowingly helped me "glow up" over all these years (I'm about to turn 25 now! Crazy!!!). Lots of love to you, Tylan, and Baby Glines ♥️♥️♥️
Oh Allie, you are such a beautiful soul! All 30 things that you have shared will be life-changing for so many people. It took me many years to learn those things and some things I'm still learning. I am turning 53 on March 5th and how I would have loved to know those things when turning 30. You will change lives with the video, and I send you so much love and wish you a magical birthday filled with love and joy. One thing that I would add to your list is the importance of believing in yourself. If you believe in yourself you can achieve anything your heart desires. Much love to you and your subscribers! ❤
Happy birthday beautiful ❤️. I'm turning 43 next month. But I've enjoyed All the things that you learned throughout your 30's. I've learned so far in my 40s, , not that I didn't know this, but it kinda reinstated for me in different ways, but it's Don't Sweat the small things. Things will work out and when it doesn't, that just means God was protecting you from it. It just means that if it's not for you, Don't Force it. If it Is for you, You'll show a beautiful side of yourself that others want to know your secret. What's changed?! Why are you glowing?! You're smiling More differently. Not that you've been sad, or not happy. But there's a presence about you that makes people see that softer side. The teal you. Also, Absolutely Never be Afraid to step out of Faith and Be Bold. It doesn't mean you're better than someone else, you just have a Better and More Awareness of Attitudes towards your goals, Life, and yourself.😌♥️. Loving yourself is my self care. Not everyone has to Love you but you do. People flock to kindness and generosity, and Truth. I believe when you walk in your Truth without hiding who you are, You Will shine No matter what 👍🏾👍🏾💕 And Yess, guard your heart. Don't try to over share things with people who really don't Allow you to be You. They really are missing All your great and beautiful Qualities as a Human being. That's why people see me at work, or school, and want to tell me things. Good or bad. You establish a friendship and honesty and no judgement towards anyone who wants your friendship. Last thing, The word No , OMG!!! You said it. It's so freeing. Lol!! If you say it, people will take advantage of your kindness. And it's okay to say, No!!! No reason, no explanation but No!!!! ♥️♥️♥️ Love you Allie. Thank you for showing your truth and what a kind hearted beautiful woman you are. God bless you and your family 🙏🏾♥️.
Oh my goodness Allie -- you are wise beyond your years! I'm in my 60's and your advice is the template for life in my humble opinion. It was a great retrospective review for me and you checked off every box. I had one more rule I lived by and it served me well -- never be afraid to open every door that presents itself. You never know what's behind it. You can always close it if it doesn't work out, but some of the greatest moments of my life were when I dared to open some crazy doors! That said, I send you the Happiest Birthday Wishes! This is only the beginning and I have no doubt you will have great success and happiness. All the best to you and your wonderful family.
I'm 49 with 9 kids. If there's one bit if advice I can give you it is that your child is a grown up. Parenting is so hard when our religion focuses so much on obedience. But I have learned that my children are going to be who they are no matter what I do. So focus on you, just like you are and allow them the space to make their own decisions and be themselves. Trust them. They will surprise you. And they may not make decisions that you think are the best, but if you continue to support them with high love and setting an example of having high expectations of yourself, they will stay close to you and feel safe no matter the path they choose in life.
Happy Birthday Allie! Well next month I’m turning 60! I’ve been watching your videos for years. I love how you are so sweet and kind. I really love the videos with your husband you’re so adorable together. I can’t give a list of 60 things I’ve learned. But the main one I’ve learned is trust in yourself to know the right thing to do. Again have a wonderful birthday with your family and have a blessed day!!
I felt very empowered in my 30s. My biggest advice is to always trust your gut or your instincts. They will never fail you. If they tell you to take a chance and a leap of Faith, do it! I have never regretted doing that! I just changed jobs in December after being with my former company for 6 years. It was a good decision, and I'm very happy with my new path, even at 61! I have had some challenges career-wise because of divorce and the 2008 recession, but I've survived. We are strong when we need to be. Let your heart, gut, and reason help guide you toward the goals you want to achieve! My daughter Amelia is 23 and has accomplished so much more because of social media tools. I am proud of my girl, her talents, and her amazing creative mind! The younger generations have so many opportunities and possibilities, you included, Allie!!
Happy birthday Allie🎂🎈🎁🎊 My 30’s were some of the best years of my life. I learned in my thirties doubt means NO. Also see it, do it, teach it. That’s how I learn. I live by that and I’m 46. Your videos bring me so much joy every week. Here’s to another 30 years my love🩷 Love your nails btw. Super cute 🥰 You are my superwoman.
Allie - we are SO PROUD OF YOU! You've created so many amazing things: your sweet family; THIS SPACE/COMMUNITY; both of your businesses; I bet you're an amazing friend and family member too. Thank you for your dedication to all of the above. We are all rooting for you 🙏
Happy Birthday Allie 🎉!! First off you are like a "best friend that I have never met." I love you and the channel and the environment that you have created. You inspire me on a daily basis and are the channel that I consistently keep up on. Here's to 30 and here's to the future, case I know regardless of the journey you go on, it's going to be so beautiful and full of success!! Love you Allie!! ❤
Hi Allie! I've been watching your channel for a while now and I'm a first-time commenter. I'm one of your mature viewers, 50 years old. The best advice I can give you is to enjoy your children while they are young. Enjoy each milestone they reach and each stage they go through. Before I had children, people told me they grow up so fast. Well, I barely blinked and mine were adults and I feel like I missed out on so much. So, like you said in your video....be present and make lots of memories with your kids!
Happy Birthday Allie! My advice is when someone enters a season of life where they manage other people, reflect on what inspired (or inspires) themselves to excel, and then as a manager, foster similar opportunities for those that they now manage so their team can excel and experience accomplishments. To add on to your comments regarding the importance of sleep, there have been studies indicating lack of sleep can be a contributing factor to having a stroke. Sleep is vital! Happy Birthday and best wishes!!!🎊 🎉
I turn 30 this year as well, and my high school friends and I have been reflecting back on what we thought we would accomplish by now and what we actually have. One of my best friends and I laugh because we did the other ones dreams. I spent my 20s travelling, and making memories and having a lot of cool and crazy experiences, and she settled down and is a mom to 4, but I always thought I would be the young mom with the vanload of kids, and she thought she’d travel and have adventures. It’s crazy where life takes us.
Happy Birthday! I’d love to be 30/40/50 again. 61 and thankful for this decade too. I’ve learned a lot about makeup from you. I agree motherhood is definitely better than you’d expect it to be and the best thing that happens to you.
Hi Allie. Happy Birthday I just turned 51 in January. I have 2 adult sons and 3 yes 3 beautiful granddaughters! Advice I learned (later in life) is this: Always take time for yourself. Whether thats reading a book in a quiet place or going to see a movie by yourself. Whatever it may be take time for yourself. It took me years to understand thats it’s okay to have a “Me” day. Love you and everything you do on your channel!
Life advice...it's ok to set boundaries with everyone including family. And with that should those boundaries be crossed, it is absolutely ok to cut them out of your life and again this includes family. Nothing is as important as your peace and happiness. Another one, as women we often don't think we deserve something. So when we have that type of feeling it is absolutely something we deserve and we should not feel guilty about it. I was miserable in my 1st marriage. He was narcissistic and had a mistress. After 3 years of this abuse I finally found the strength to know I deserved better and I left. Now each time I think I don't deserve anything I look back at the things I said I did deserve and how happy I am today.
I am Irish and my grandmother who lived in the wilds of the Sheep's Head Peninsula in West Cork used to say: - and out of all her 'i.e. ancient sayings/'old wives' tales!!) this is the one that has stuck out to me the most .. it really means that if something didn't go the way you wanted then at least you have that experience to learn from!!! BTW I loved when you said that you don't have to make other people happy to be happy!!! That one really resonated with me. This was a GORGEOUS video - thank you. And good luck to the applicants to get to apply for a job with Allie xxx
Happy Birthday 🎉 You have already a lot of wisdom! As a 54 old married, working mum will tell you, just keep it that way 👍 Love yourself, believe in yourself and always, always BE yourself. Love your channel and appreciate every single tutorial. Love from Germany
30 was a big one for me too. I also felt youth turned into full on adulthood. What I learned: Manage stress instead of letting stress manage you. I'm in my sixties now and yes, I agree, age changes your priorities!
Happy Birthday Allie! I'm 34 and all your point are also mine! I would double down on 'its OK to say NO'. This is one that I master a lot and it made my life so much easier. No need to justify your decision. And if you are ok with your NO answer, other will be ok with it too! When you try to justify yourself, this is where others will see an opening to make you change your mind. Say NO, think about yourself and enjoy every minute of this blessed life that we are given!
As a fellow people pleaser, it is so hard to say no but soooo necessary. I am someone who needs to feel productive and almost punish myself for taking breaks and slowing down like you mentioned. But these things are a necessary part of life and without the little breaks we would not succeed. Great advice!
Hi allie!! I have been watching you for probably about two years now. You have taught me everything I know about makeup and I have been loving being able to express myself through it. Happy birthday and thank you for always being a bright light 🎉❤
Happy Birthday, Allie!🎉❤ My 30s were wonderful years. Hard at times, turbulent, but I learned so much and I grew as a person and best of all my 3 children were born during my 30s.🥰 Now, I am close to 50 and I keep on learning. Best life lesson, no matter what life threw at us, we learned, grew even stronger and are cherishing every moment... with my husband of 30 years and our children.
Happy Birthday, Allie! Wow...30... I will turn 67 this year! Truly the best way to do life is to make each day the very best it can be. Part of that is telling those you love that you love them & why you love them, create memories --- not just for yourself, but for your family! Begin a memory box for your precious daughter now! Remember to show gratitude & recognize what makes you feel grateful. I hope my words give you some additional items to add to your next decade advice list! Love you!!!
Oh my gosh! Your item about saying no and that being a complete answer, I remember learning that and it was a moment!!! It's so freeing to know you don't have to explain yourself to people!! Good for you!
Happy birthday Allie🎉🎁!! As a 55 year old I’ll say you are right. Trust is important. It is a far greater compliment to be trusted than to be loved. It’s so important to be present and appreciate what’s right in front of you as things can change so fast! Enjoy every moment of life. It goes fast ❤
Happy birthday Allie. 🎂 I'm 52 and have 4 kids and am raising 6 of my grandsons, so I can definitely say that it's a blessing to having children but it can also be very hard but worth it. And you and your husband are very blessed to have a beautiful daughter and successful business before you even turn 30. You have much to be proud of, congratulations.
My oldest is 6 and during that newborn stage he did NOT sleep! So I turned to makeup videos in the middle of the night to help keep me awake and I’ve been an avid fan of yours ever since! Definitely have been on the quest to prioritize sleep ever since 😂Thank you for sharing all of this, so many of them resonated with me!
Happy birthday, Allie! I'm 35 and feel like I learned many of the same things as you over the years :). I think one of the most important is realizing that you should be able to fully relax and feel comfortable and safe around your spouse, your friends, and others you choose to spend time with.
Happy Birthday 🎉! As someone in the 40’s I loved my 30’s I finally felt myself and fully confident, comfortable I’m my skin and finally didn’t care or depend on what about others thought me me. Enjoy your day and beginning of the decade of feeling yourself!
I hope you had a wonderful Birthday, Allie! I’m almost 52 years old with an almost 5 year old Grandson, 2 grown Sons and a wonderful Daughter In Law. I do have some advice to share. 1. Remember to show Grace to people. We all have bad days, we all have behaved in a manner we aren’t proud of and sometimes we are just in a bad mood. I’m not excusing bad behavior and not advocating to allow that in your life, I am just saying if it is an occasional occurrence, try to show that person some Grace. 2. Surround yourself with people that speak positively about others. If they are talking poorly about somebody to you, what are they saying about you when you aren’t around? If they are speaking about somebody out of concern and how to help somebody, that is different. Just be careful of unkind or fake people, that toxicity is useless in your life. 3. Don’t make assumptions. Jumping to conclusions can lead to very bad consequences. 4. Calm down before you respond. I have a rule at work about angry emails or voicemails, I wait 24 hours to respond. I have to give myself time to calm down and not respond emotionally. Responding professionally is a much better route when faced with angry people. 5. You don’t have to know all the answers! (just expanding on what you said) Remind yourself that you just have to know where to find them. 6. Take time to meditate, even if it is a 5 minute reset of calm, it helps you mentally and physically. I hope this helps somebody! Sending love from a South Carolina Grandma ❤
Love love love this video - my favourite thing I have learned is 'If you don't ask, you don't get'. Its so simple but its so easy to shy away from asking for even the smallest thing when in turn it could actually provide you with something you would like or want. XX
18:39 yessssss. Painting my nails is ME TIME. I love it. It makes me feel beautiful and put together. And it’s time for me to be still and reflect. Plus I love color and glitter and shiny things. 😊💅🎨✨💆♀️
Dear Allie, happy birthday! I turned 40 in 2022 and my biggest lesson is that is never too late. I stumbled upon your channel and you have taught me so much about it’s never too late to learn how to apply make up, to enjoy the process of it and to try and see what works for me and what doesn’t!
Happy belated birthday Allie 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 🎁 so, I turn 50 in July. My thirties was my decade. Literally met my husband 2 months before turning 30, got married at 32, quit work at 38, and started a small business, had my baby at 39. Words of wisdom...everyone has their own timeline. Do not judge your life by what others are experiencing in their lives, especially in this Era of social media. Your time will come. Oh, and no matter what your age...use sunscreen 😊
Hello Allie!! I wanted to share with you that your second point---that motherhood is better than you expected---sincerely motivated and inspired me. My birthday was also earlier this month, and I only turned 20! I am only entering the decade you are stepping out of, but I am also entering a stage in life that you have just entered---motherhood! I'm expecting the arrival of my baby in early July. The fact that you were able to launch both your beauty brand and enter motherhood at the same time made me realize that I can still fulfill my career goals and be a good mother. For sure, finding a balance is hard---but I can see through your success that the hard work pays off. I have been following you since my early teenage years, and I was ecstatic when I learned that you were having a baby. Motherhood is truly a blessing, and I sincerely cried when I watched your announcement video. I can't wait to try your beauty brand (which I've been secretly wishing for for years) and see all the incredible launches to come!! I love you and your family so much!! You have truly been an important figure in my life, and I hope that one day you come across my comment. God Bless you and your family. With lots of love, Mireya
Happy birthday!! Sleep is so important! As a sleep specialist, it made me happy to hear that your husband and now you also make sleep a priority. Setting yourself up for successful sleep is something that is crucial but often very overlooked.
You are just the sweetest! I am happy for you and you sweet family and all your success! I am very mature in comparison to you! I am 61 and have watched you for years! I’ve watched your businesses grow and I feel like a proud moma! Stay true to who you are and above all teach that sweet baby about her higher being and know that is her rock foundation! Absolutely enjoyed seeing this video and hearing your heart!
I’m only 28 but what I learned this year is “happiness is always the right career choice”. I recently moved across the country to be with my partner and left a job that made me terribly unhappy. It wasn’t easy, and I’m still looking for the next position but I know long term creating happiness for myself outside of my job will make me a better employee and professional. ❤️
Happy birthday Allie, you are so beautiful, and I'm not just talking about the outside, but on the inside as well. You are so smart for your young years. As a 58 year old, I do not claim to know much, but everything you said is spot on. I wish I had the same fortitude that you exude at such a young age. You have followed such a wonderful path on your journey! Stay true to yourself, always. ❤😊
Happy Birthday 🎉 Allie! I've been watching you since you had 100 subscribers! One piece of advice that I at 53 still try to live by was given to me by my Dad, he said "Nothing is too tough, you just got to have faith!" It's true, nothing tough lasts forever and you just need to have faith that it will get better!!
My advice is just to try to always live by these things! It's an awesome list, and honestly really impressive you've already figured these things out by 30 (at almost 39, some of these things are super new to me!). But KNOWING something is very different than DOING something. Like, I KNOW sleep is a priorty, but that doesn't stop me from staying up way too late because it's the only time of day that no one needs me. Truly live by this list, and life will be golden. ❤ Welcome to your thirties! It'll be a wild ride!
From a very Mature viewer, I've learned it's not bad to be "Mature"...and my favorite thing from your list that really "spoke" to me is that "No is a complete answer". Brilliant !
I have a big one this year as well! I’m turning 50, the difference between 30 and 50 is a lot of learning too. It’s crazy, constantly learning, but I do love that about life.
Happy Birthday Allie 🎉 I am also a February girl, I love that you are too!! February girls rule ❤ I love your channel so happy for all that is happening in your life! Happy 30th 🥳 I am turning 68 Tuesday, I loved hearing the 30 things you have learned in 30 years and I know you are full of wisdom! I believe that you get that wisdom from following God, keep sharing with your audience, your young audience especially needs good role models these days ❤
Forgive ourself. If you don't lead the way, nobody else will. We are all human and it's OK to make mistakes - that's how we learn. Regret is greasy and will clog up your life if you let it. I'm 70+ and love indulging my girlie moments by learning about makeup from you. 🥰
Happiest of birthdays! I am 32, and in the last few years, I have truly felt a shift in how I feel in my own skin. So much more established, mature, and confident in who I am as a woman. I hope 30 is your best year yet! 🎉
Happy birthday, Allie. In my family on your birthday the birthday person is always asked to share a bit of wisdom from being one year older. That’s what this video reminds me of! Have a wonderful celebration with your sweet family!
Happy Birthday Allie! The ‘Be Present’ is so important! My horse trainer guru Warwick Schiller talks about this all the time. People who are past focused are unhappy, People who are future focused are anxious… just focus on the now… and that’s when the magic happens.
Happy birthday Allie! I’m nearing 27, and still figuring things out, but a tip that I read several years ago that has stuck with me is don’t be the first to let go of a hug, you don’t know how much the other person might be needing it. May your next 30 be lovely and fulfilling ❤
2 things I've learnt is that 1. You don't always have to have a plan, and not having one can sometimes open up possibilities you never expect and 2. You don't always need to have an answer to something, everyone is always asking about what is next and you don't need to have an answer to that before you are ready.
Happy Birthday!!🥳 I turn 47 in a couple weeks, but I don't feel "old" yet lol! The best advice I have is: Kindness doesn't cost anything, feel free to spread it around. Give people the benefit of the doubt, but don't be a doormat. Live without regrets, because the past can't be changed, but you cam choose each day to do your best, and then you have nothing to worry about. Many happy vibes and thoughts sent your way, and may you find even more happiness in the years to come! 😊
Happy birthday, Allie 🥳🎉 I’m 51 and I’ve realized that I need to SLOW DOWN and just enjoy life! We only get one and boy oh boy does it go by quickly. Also, realize that life is like a roller coaster with lots of ups and downs and it’s in those up’s and downs where we learn valuable life lessons.
Happy birthday Allie! Being in your 30’s is actually my favorite time in live right now. I’ll be 34 in May and I love to step back and look at how far I’ve come in love in those 33 years. I have two handsome boys and a great husband I have made a wonderful life with. I’ve been watching your videos for a long time and I have learned so much from you! I love experimenting with making up and learning new tricks. Makeup makes me feel good about myself. Your videos have helped me find my self confidence again through make up. Thank you for being our friend!❤
Happy Birthday, Allie! Enjoy your 30s -- it's a fun time of life! I'm 56, and one thing that age has taught me (and which I wish I had learned sooner!) is that it's not important for everyone to like me. There are people I don't vibe with -- not that they've done anything wrong, but we just have different personalities -- and so I have to allow people to feel similarly about me. It's freeing to not feel the need to make everyone want to be my friend!
My main advice is regarding motherhood... Always trust your instinct when it comes to your child's health. Our instincts are 99% on point. Have a great birthday 🎂
Happy birthday Allie! One thing I’ve learnt is to take everything one step at a time, move at your own pace and enjoy life in general. You inspire us all have a fabulous 30 ❤
Happy birthday 🎉 I'm currently 35 and so far it's been my best decade for self acceptance and self love. I married and had my girls in ny 20's so for that it was a great decade but it was a decade for everyone else, what I could be for everyone else, this one is for me. Hope you enjoy your day and being in your 30's. 🥳🎉

Reading everyone’s comments isn’t it so lovely how Allie has built such a lovely community where people feel like we know her personally like she is a close friend. Can’t help but feel genuinely happy for her how well she is doing xx
I was about to almost say the similar thing ❤ you expressed it even better. For years, she seems like "A so pleasant feeling" as a close friend truly. Love you Allie ❤ From - BHARAT🇮🇳
I have learned to identify wisdom in others and encourage it. You have great wisdom. You are introspective, contemplative, and know yourself well. Continue your journey. You are far beyond your years.
I'm 70 and it is remarkable how many things you touched on are things I wish I had known at 30. You are wise already my friend. My only addition but is more of a side note, it's ok to feel grief. True deep grief WILL bring you to your knees and you will make a noise you didn't think you were capable of. Go with it and don't try to stifle it and be in it. After you start to move out of the deepest part, start to name things you are grateful for. Whether on paper or just reciting things in your head, it helps. However small the item, it counts and it helps.
Hearing your list today had many good reminders for me.
I will have to watch again and write your list. They are that good!
Piece of advice recently that really resonated with me, "Your worth is not derived by what you produce. You are so much more than your work." It lifted so much stress! Also, heck yes on painting your nails! I totally agree.
53 year old here...but I'm sharing one from my dad..."don't get too high in the high or too low in the lows". For me, it's simple, but powerful.
Happy Birthday Allie! Thank you for sharing your journey with us! Can't wait to see what is next!
I'm sixty two Allie.. YESSSSSSSS! When I turned thirty I felt like people took me far more seriously than my twenties. The advice I can give you, that I've lived by is - ALWAYS be willing to learn something new.
also, be willing to give up old friendships if they're not serving you any longer, or asking you to give up more of yourself than they're willing to extend❤.
I’m only three minutes in and this is the therapy I needed today 💖 I’ve been telling myself “soft is strong” recently, and it resonates with who I used to be as a kid and who I want to be
Allie….a p.s. here…As the candles on my birthday cake have increased, I have come to know that so much of what I worried about, what I thought other people thought….my weight, my legs(definitely from my dad)… just so many things I have come to realize didn’t matter at all. Now, at 72, I am grateful for strong legs that keep me going, for a healthy body that allows me to experience life, for a husband who after 55 years is still my best friend, for my 2 children with whom I have a wonderful relationship …these are the really important things in life…so I am very blessed🙏❤
I love the philosophy “you can do everything but not all at once or by yourself” just what I need to hear sometimes when life seems too overwhelming
Happy birthday Allie. 🥳
Wow, 30. I just turned 69 last month. Next year is yet another milestone for me. Gulp!!!!
P.S., I feel 30. 🫶
That’s good .. means everything
51 here: You’re wise beyond your years Allie. A lot of what you mentioned resonated so much with me. 1 piece of advice I could share with you as a mom, enjoy every second, take it all in. Happy birthday Allie. 🥳🎊🎉 🙏🏻
Happy Birthday, Allie! As someone who turned 40 on her last birthday, your 30's are going to be amazing. Personally, I grew much more self confident and comfortable with myself in my 30's. You had two babies (your daughter and your business) in your 20's so I feel like you're going to really blossom in your new decade. Have a wonderful birthday, my dear!
Love this comment!! ❤
Okay now I want a monthly video called « What I’ve learned this month. » My makeup never looked so good than today, I was just doing my makeup, listening to you and it just turned out to be so beautiful, so me 👌🏽 I’m 32 and the biggest lesson I’ve learned and what I think about everyday now is: it all changed when I started saying thank you instead of please.
Be grateful for what is here in your life and make the most out of it instead of always asking life for more and more and being frustrated constantly. ❤ with love, Amelie
My 30's were the best! Wishing you the happiest birthday Allie!!! 🎉🎉
As someone who will be 52 soon this is my advice. Make the most of the life you have and do not dwell on the life you have always imagined. What that means is this .. we all have an image in our head of what our life "should be"...by 30 I'll be married, by 40 I'll have kids, a great job, l'll be famous, etc. Instead take that imaginary life picture, hang it in a wall and go live your real life. Stop being self-sabotaging by measuring your life against an imaginary image.
You really are such a safe space. I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels that way and it’s insane that you’ve been able to convey that sincerity through a screen. At the root of it, it’s just makeup, but you have made it so much more for me. Happy birthday 💕
Happy Birthday, Allie!!! I'll be 51 next month. One thing I really embraced after turning 50 is you're never too old to focus on feeling beautiful. I love your channel, your makeup bags, and your lipsticks❤
I agree! Plus I have learned so much from this amazing young woman.
I agree with this wholeheartedly. I just turned 50 over the summer and started to focus on feeling beautiful, taking time to take care of my skin & to learn how to use and apply makeup (which is how I found your channel). Happy birthday Allie, I hope your 30’s are your best decade yet!
Allie, you are such a wonderful addition to my viewing pleasure. Here are a few things that I've learned over the past 6+ decades: "Things happen for a reason." Rather than think about why bad things happen, think about what you can learn from the experience. (I suffer from depression and rather than feeling burdened by it, I am grateful for it, because I can have compassion for my students who suffer from mental illness.) "Be grateful." When you appreciate the goodness in life, you can be more positive about ALL aspects of your life, the good and the bad. "Share your love and appreciation for others OUT LOUD." It can be as simple as, "Thank you for being my friend." When was the last time that any of us thanked a waiter/waitress for their hard work. It really matters! Again, Allie, I so appreciate your hard work and your talents. I have learned so much from you. ❤❤❤
Happy birthday sweetheart! You will learn more as time continues on for you. I am 46 myself next month and I reassure you, life gets better as you grow wiser 😊
“In stillness we receive” how deep Allie, thanks for sharing! God bless you
Happy birthday! An Aquarius girl. I will turn 62 this year and I still love all the make up and all the girly stuff. Oh, to be 30 again 🥰
Hi Allie. I turned 56 in Dec.. I have 3 grown sons. Things I have learned: gratitude is a key to happiness. Every day I am present within my self and think about what I am grateful for that day and has brought me joy in that day. Positivity attracts positivity. Everything is easier to deal with even difficult things if you start with a positive mindset and a grateful heart……I have also learned from my father, No fool no fun. Life is too short not to enjoy it and not to make memories with those you love. Experiences and memories will sustain you…..Traditions old and new are important and your children will remember them fondly. ….Kindness is everything… those are just a few things I’ve learned.
Having children and getting older is such a blessing. It changes you for the better, in my opinion. That's been my experience. Not caring what people think about you except for the people you love and truly care about is so freeing. It's wonderful for your sanity and happiness.
Happy Birthday to someone who is beautiful inside and out! You had a lot of great tips that resonated with me. To add:
Pray- the power of prayers is amazing
Communicate-the key to everyday life- work, marriage, friendship etc.
Listen- some people just need a comforting ear without judgement.
I truly enjoy the camera” fireside” chats. I am 70 ,just learned to say no. What a marvelous process. Thank you for sharing your life.
I was 53 last month & a couple of things I've learned over the years.
It's ok to say no.
If something sounds too good to be true, it most likely is.
Always follow your gut instinct, if something feels off 99.9% of the time it is.
You only have 1 chance to make a first impression.
A mother's instinct should ALWAYS be considered & listened to.
Happy 30th birthday Allie 🎂 🥳 🎉
I couldn’t agree more I’m trying 30 this year and have had so many times in my life I saw something to good to be true and I’ve trusted my gut also opinion of my mom and I’m so glad I did & have seen so many friends end up in bad situations because they ignored the feeling
@@imblonde007 You are a very wise woman!
Happy Birthday! I've been a mom for 38 years, I've got four kiddos and I love being a mom, it's the hardest and most rewarding calling ever! Enjoy your time with your kiddos, time goes so fast, but I love the relationship I have with my adult kids now! I love your channel and although I'm a mature woman, I still learn a lot of beauty skills and goals from you! Side Note: I started my dream of going to grad school in my *cough* 50s and I am now a professor! It's never too late!
I am 22 and this felt like advice from the big sister I never had. As a chronic people pleaser, it feels so refreshing to hear that it’s okay to say no. Your perspective really resonated with me. Thanks, Allie 💕
Happy birthday!💕 Thank you for the life lessons Allie, I needed to hear this. I am now 27 and started a full time job in an office but I already feel that I want to do something else. My dream is to have some sort of shop with cute pet products I designed myself. It is just really scary because I want to have a stable income. But I took my first steps and printed some of my own cards and am doing commissions for people. It makes me so happy! I don’t know how this will go further, but you are right- you don’t have to have all the answers in order to start something. Life goes fast and I want to do the things that make me happy, so I will try to pursue them 💕
Pursue your dreams. Trying is best... better than regrets and what is. ❤❤🙏🙏 Wishing you all good things! 😊
@@adinamckenzie8460 thank you so much! 💕 Indeed and even if it is just a hobby I have found a great one :) You often regret the things you don’t do and not the things you do
Start small and work your way up. Commissions, then maybe an ETSY shop or local farmers market booth, etc., then a brick and mortar storefront. Your generation's greatest gift is thinking and trying outside the traditional boxes. ❤️
"No is a complete answer." I LOVE THAT and I really struggle with that. Like you I am a people pleaser and care about what other people think and feel.
Happy Birthday! You've accomplished a great deal in 30 years!
Happy Birthday, Allie! Your 30’s are the time when you start to shed so many of the insecurities, criticism, and fears that have held you back from being your fullest self. The weight of other opinions and pressure of forcing yourself into a mold is no longer worth the wrestling and efforts that hold you back. It was when I finally set down so much of the baggage and expectations of life and myself that had been a burden on my journey and I just allowed myself to breathe and be present. Life is so much more enjoyable now that I gave myself the permission to just be me - curious, creative, unique, flawed, strong, sensitive, ambitious, capable, fearful, soft, passionate, bold, evolving and all the other adjectives we as women are often told are too untamed to be worthy of display. Welcome to all the colorful beauty of your 30s, Allie! I think you will like it here. 💜
You are like my everyday "revival". You make me feel rejuvenated and refreshed. You really cleanse my soul , spirit, and mind. That's really peaceful and calming. You really do revive me. Thanks Allie.
I’m 25 and I feel like I’m ready to be thirty, flirty, and thriving! 💗 Happy birthday Allie! You’ve accomplished so much and such an amazing role model to many around the world!
Happy Birthday, Allie! I turned 70 years old my last birthday and sometimes, I still have a hard time saying 'no'. Your 30 things are all spot on...stay true to them. Enjoy your birthday...wishing many blessings for you in this next decade!
I’ve waited to watch this video, because I am now a few days away from turning 30 myself. I have very mixed feelings about it. So many of the comments here have given me such peace of mind. I am so blessed to be where I am today. Sometimes I find it hard to count my blessings, and this year I’m ready to embrace growing older, I will not feel sad for the things I don’t have, and I will be so grateful to be surrounded by my loved ones. In my 20’s I did so many incredible things. I quit drinking, smoking and using drugs. I got married. I went back to school and started a career, and I’ve gained a lot of experience and confidence in myself. I bought a house with my husband. I made new friends that I love and trust and have a healthy relationship with. There are many things I wish I had done before 30, but I am ready to embrace the fact that I can’t go back in time to do those things. If they’re worth my effort, I can still achieve any goal I set my mind to.
you’ve had 30 years so far!! and done so much. happy, happy birthday! 🎉❤
At 43 I have to admit that my early thirties were the some of the best and most difficult times of my life. I didn’t slow down until I had my daughter right after I turned 36. It’s been a rewarding and extremely educational time. I have 2 rules/ lessons I try to always remember. 1) My daughter is now 7 and I also work with preschoolers so I’m constantly with very young children. I tell them all the time that we never stop learning! I learn just as much from them as they learn from me. There will always be something new to learn no matter or age and and no matter how knowledgeable we are, we will never know everything. 2) I also have always believed in the phrase “Be kinder than necessary for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.” At times this is most difficult but it has helped me so much with maintaining compassion and has improved my conflict resolution skills as an adult. And now after watching this, I have to say that #13 is something I really needed to hear and like I said earlier, we never stop learning and this was the push I think I needed right now. 😊 I’m grateful for the time you’ve taken to share these lessons you have worked so hard to learn! Happy birthday!!🎉 I hope you enjoy your day immensely!🥳
Happy Birthday 🎉 Enjoy your 30's. It's the best decade 😊 You're incredible... keep going!
You are so beautiful! Inside and out! I can relate to you so much! Keep being you, you're wonderful!
Happy, happy birthday, Allie ♥️ I've literally watched you since you did Tylan's makeup YEARS ago!!!! You've perhaps unknowingly helped me "glow up" over all these years (I'm about to turn 25 now! Crazy!!!). Lots of love to you, Tylan, and Baby Glines ♥️♥️♥️
Oh Allie, you are such a beautiful soul! All 30 things that you have shared will be life-changing for so many people. It took me many years to learn those things and some things I'm still learning. I am turning 53 on March 5th and how I would have loved to know those things when turning 30. You will change lives with the video, and I send you so much love and wish you a magical birthday filled with love and joy. One thing that I would add to your list is the importance of believing in yourself. If you believe in yourself you can achieve anything your heart desires. Much love to you and your subscribers! ❤
So beautifully said. 😍 ❤😊
Happy birthday beautiful ❤️. I'm turning 43 next month. But I've enjoyed All the things that you learned throughout your 30's. I've learned so far in my 40s, , not that I didn't know this, but it kinda reinstated for me in different ways, but it's Don't Sweat the small things. Things will work out and when it doesn't, that just means God was protecting you from it. It just means that if it's not for you, Don't Force it. If it Is for you, You'll show a beautiful side of yourself that others want to know your secret. What's changed?! Why are you glowing?! You're smiling More differently. Not that you've been sad, or not happy. But there's a presence about you that makes people see that softer side. The teal you. Also, Absolutely Never be Afraid to step out of Faith and Be Bold. It doesn't mean you're better than someone else, you just have a Better and More Awareness of Attitudes towards your goals, Life, and yourself.😌♥️. Loving yourself is my self care. Not everyone has to Love you but you do. People flock to kindness and generosity, and Truth. I believe when you walk in your Truth without hiding who you are, You Will shine No matter what 👍🏾👍🏾💕 And Yess, guard your heart. Don't try to over share things with people who really don't Allow you to be You. They really are missing All your great and beautiful Qualities as a Human being. That's why people see me at work, or school, and want to tell me things. Good or bad. You establish a friendship and honesty and no judgement towards anyone who wants your friendship.
Last thing, The word No , OMG!!! You said it. It's so freeing. Lol!! If you say it, people will take advantage of your kindness. And it's okay to say, No!!! No reason, no explanation but No!!!! ♥️♥️♥️
Love you Allie. Thank you for showing your truth and what a kind hearted beautiful woman you are. God bless you and your family 🙏🏾♥️.
Oh my goodness Allie -- you are wise beyond your years! I'm in my 60's and your advice is the template for life in my humble opinion. It was a great retrospective review for me and you checked off every box. I had one more rule I lived by and it served me well -- never be afraid to open every door that presents itself. You never know what's behind it. You can always close it if it doesn't work out, but some of the greatest moments of my life were when I dared to open some crazy doors! That said, I send you the Happiest Birthday Wishes! This is only the beginning and I have no doubt you will have great success and happiness. All the best to you and your wonderful family.
I'm 49 with 9 kids. If there's one bit if advice I can give you it is that your child is a grown up. Parenting is so hard when our religion focuses so much on obedience. But I have learned that my children are going to be who they are no matter what I do. So focus on you, just like you are and allow them the space to make their own decisions and be themselves. Trust them. They will surprise you. And they may not make decisions that you think are the best, but if you continue to support them with high love and setting an example of having high expectations of yourself, they will stay close to you and feel safe no matter the path they choose in life.
Happy Birthday Allie! Well next month I’m turning 60! I’ve been watching your videos for years. I love how you are so sweet and kind. I really love the videos with your husband you’re so adorable together. I can’t give a list of 60 things I’ve learned. But the main one I’ve learned is trust in yourself to know the right thing to do. Again have a wonderful birthday with your family and have a blessed day!!
Great advice! Happy almost birthday. My mom has said 60 has been her favorite decade yet!
I felt very empowered in my 30s. My biggest advice is to always trust your gut or your instincts. They will never fail you. If they tell you to take a chance and a leap of Faith, do it! I have never regretted doing that! I just changed jobs in December after being with my former company for 6 years. It was a good decision, and I'm very happy with my new path, even at 61! I have had some challenges career-wise because of divorce and the 2008 recession, but I've survived. We are strong when we need to be. Let your heart, gut, and reason help guide you toward the goals you want to achieve! My daughter Amelia is 23 and has accomplished so much more because of social media tools. I am proud of my girl, her talents, and her amazing creative mind! The younger generations have so many opportunities and possibilities, you included, Allie!!
Happy birthday Allie🎂🎈🎁🎊 My 30’s were some of the best years of my life. I learned in my thirties doubt means NO. Also see it, do it, teach it. That’s how I learn. I live by that and I’m 46. Your videos bring me so much joy every week. Here’s to another 30 years my love🩷 Love your nails btw. Super cute 🥰 You are my superwoman.
Allie - we are SO PROUD OF YOU! You've created so many amazing things: your sweet family; THIS SPACE/COMMUNITY; both of your businesses; I bet you're an amazing friend and family member too. Thank you for your dedication to all of the above. We are all rooting for you 🙏
Happy Birthday Allie 🎉!! First off you are like a "best friend that I have never met." I love you and the channel and the environment that you have created. You inspire me on a daily basis and are the channel that I consistently keep up on. Here's to 30 and here's to the future, case I know regardless of the journey you go on, it's going to be so beautiful and full of success!! Love you Allie!! ❤
Hi Allie! I've been watching your channel for a while now and I'm a first-time commenter. I'm one of your mature viewers, 50 years old. The best advice I can give you is to enjoy your children while they are young. Enjoy each milestone they reach and each stage they go through. Before I had children, people told me they grow up so fast. Well, I barely blinked and mine were adults and I feel like I missed out on so much. So, like you said in your video....be present and make lots of memories with your kids!
Happy Birthday Allie! My advice is when someone enters a season of life where they manage other people, reflect on what inspired (or inspires) themselves to excel, and then as a manager, foster similar opportunities for those that they now manage so their team can excel and experience accomplishments.
To add on to your comments regarding the importance of sleep, there have been studies indicating lack of sleep can be a contributing factor to having a stroke. Sleep is vital!
Happy Birthday and best wishes!!!🎊 🎉
I turn 30 this year as well, and my high school friends and I have been reflecting back on what we thought we would accomplish by now and what we actually have. One of my best friends and I laugh because we did the other ones dreams. I spent my 20s travelling, and making memories and having a lot of cool and crazy experiences, and she settled down and is a mom to 4, but I always thought I would be the young mom with the vanload of kids, and she thought she’d travel and have adventures. It’s crazy where life takes us.
Happy Birthday! I’d love to be 30/40/50 again. 61 and thankful for this decade too. I’ve learned a lot about makeup from you. I agree motherhood is definitely better than you’d expect it to be and the best thing that happens to you.
Hi Allie. Happy Birthday I just turned 51 in January. I have 2 adult sons and 3 yes 3 beautiful granddaughters! Advice I learned (later in life) is this: Always take time for yourself. Whether thats reading a book in a quiet place or going to see a movie by yourself. Whatever it may be take time for yourself. It took me years to understand thats it’s okay to have a “Me” day. Love you and everything you do on your channel!
Enjoy your special day.🎉You are precious!!
Life advice...it's ok to set boundaries with everyone including family. And with that should those boundaries be crossed, it is absolutely ok to cut them out of your life and again this includes family. Nothing is as important as your peace and happiness.
Another one, as women we often don't think we deserve something. So when we have that type of feeling it is absolutely something we deserve and we should not feel guilty about it. I was miserable in my 1st marriage. He was narcissistic and had a mistress. After 3 years of this abuse I finally found the strength to know I deserved better and I left. Now each time I think I don't deserve anything I look back at the things I said I did deserve and how happy I am today.
I am Irish and my grandmother who lived in the wilds of the Sheep's Head Peninsula in West Cork used to say: - and out of all her 'i.e. ancient sayings/'old wives' tales!!) this is the one that has stuck out to me the most .. it really means that if something didn't go the way you wanted then at least you have that experience to learn from!!! BTW I loved when you said that you don't have to make other people happy to be happy!!! That one really resonated with me. This was a GORGEOUS video - thank you. And good luck to the applicants to get to apply for a job with Allie xxx
Happy Birthday 🎉 You have already a lot of wisdom! As a 54 old married, working mum will tell you, just keep it that way 👍 Love yourself, believe in yourself and always, always BE yourself.
Love your channel and appreciate every single tutorial. Love from Germany
30 was a big one for me too. I also felt youth turned into full on adulthood. What I learned: Manage stress instead of letting stress manage you. I'm in my sixties now and yes, I agree, age changes your priorities!
Happy Birthday Allie! I'm 34 and all your point are also mine! I would double down on 'its OK to say NO'. This is one that I master a lot and it made my life so much easier. No need to justify your decision. And if you are ok with your NO answer, other will be ok with it too! When you try to justify yourself, this is where others will see an opening to make you change your mind. Say NO, think about yourself and enjoy every minute of this blessed life that we are given!
Happy Birthday! Your 30's will be a magical decade.
Happy Belated Birthday Allie! I genuinely can say your attitude and overall vibe is something you don’t find a lot of anymore ❤
It’s very refreshing 😊
As a fellow people pleaser, it is so hard to say no but soooo necessary. I am someone who needs to feel productive and almost punish myself for taking breaks and slowing down like you mentioned. But these things are a necessary part of life and without the little breaks we would not succeed. Great advice!
Hi allie!! I have been watching you for probably about two years now. You have taught me everything I know about makeup and I have been loving being able to express myself through it. Happy birthday and thank you for always being a bright light 🎉❤
Happy Birthday, Allie!🎉❤ My 30s were wonderful years. Hard at times, turbulent, but I learned so much and I grew as a person and best of all my 3 children were born during my 30s.🥰 Now, I am close to 50 and I keep on learning. Best life lesson, no matter what life threw at us, we learned, grew even stronger and are cherishing every moment... with my husband of 30 years and our children.
Happy Birthday, Allie! Wow...30... I will turn 67 this year! Truly the best way to do life is to make each day the very best it can be. Part of that is telling those you love that you love them & why you love them, create memories --- not just for yourself, but for your family! Begin a memory box for your precious daughter now! Remember to show gratitude & recognize what makes you feel grateful. I hope my words give you some additional items to add to your next decade advice list! Love you!!!
Oh my gosh! Your item about saying no and that being a complete answer, I remember learning that and it was a moment!!! It's so freeing to know you don't have to explain yourself to people!! Good for you!
Happy birthday Allie🎉🎁!!
As a 55 year old I’ll say you are right. Trust is important. It is a far greater compliment to be trusted than to be loved. It’s so important to be present and appreciate what’s right in front of you as things can change so fast! Enjoy every moment of life. It goes fast ❤
Happy Birthday Allie, I really enjoy your videos and wish you the best. I love your quote "in stillness we receive", I need to remember that.
Happy birthday Allie. 🎂 I'm 52 and have 4 kids and am raising 6 of my grandsons, so I can definitely say that it's a blessing to having children but it can also be very hard but worth it. And you and your husband are very blessed to have a beautiful daughter and successful business before you even turn 30. You have much to be proud of, congratulations.
My oldest is 6 and during that newborn stage he did NOT sleep! So I turned to makeup videos in the middle of the night to help keep me awake and I’ve been an avid fan of yours ever since! Definitely have been on the quest to prioritize sleep ever since 😂Thank you for sharing all of this, so many of them resonated with me!
Happy birthday, Allie! I'm 35 and feel like I learned many of the same things as you over the years :). I think one of the most important is realizing that you should be able to fully relax and feel comfortable and safe around your spouse, your friends, and others you choose to spend time with.
Happy Birthday 🎉! As someone in the 40’s I loved my 30’s I finally felt myself and fully confident, comfortable I’m my skin and finally didn’t care or depend on what about others thought me me. Enjoy your day and beginning of the decade of feeling yourself!
I hope you had a wonderful Birthday, Allie! I’m almost 52 years old with an almost 5 year old Grandson, 2 grown Sons and a wonderful Daughter In Law. I do have some advice to share. 1. Remember to show Grace to people. We all have bad days, we all have behaved in a manner we aren’t proud of and sometimes we are just in a bad mood. I’m not excusing bad behavior and not advocating to allow that in your life, I am just saying if it is an occasional occurrence, try to show that person some Grace. 2. Surround yourself with people that speak positively about others. If they are talking poorly about somebody to you, what are they saying about you when you aren’t around? If they are speaking about somebody out of concern and how to help somebody, that is different. Just be careful of unkind or fake people, that toxicity is useless in your life. 3. Don’t make assumptions. Jumping to conclusions can lead to very bad consequences. 4. Calm down before you respond. I have a rule at work about angry emails or voicemails, I wait 24 hours to respond. I have to give myself time to calm down and not respond emotionally. Responding professionally is a much better route when faced with angry people. 5. You don’t have to know all the answers! (just expanding on what you said) Remind yourself that you just have to know where to find them. 6. Take time to meditate, even if it is a 5 minute reset of calm, it helps you mentally and physically. I hope this helps somebody! Sending love from a South Carolina Grandma ❤
Love love love this video - my favourite thing I have learned is 'If you don't ask, you don't get'. Its so simple but its so easy to shy away from asking for even the smallest thing when in turn it could actually provide you with something you would like or want. XX
18:39 yessssss. Painting my nails is ME TIME. I love it. It makes me feel beautiful and put together. And it’s time for me to be still and reflect. Plus I love color and glitter and shiny things. 😊💅🎨✨💆♀️
Dear Allie, happy birthday! I turned 40 in 2022 and my biggest lesson is that is never too late. I stumbled upon your channel and you have taught me so much about it’s never too late to learn how to apply make up, to enjoy the process of it and to try and see what works for me and what doesn’t!
Happy belated birthday Allie 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 🎁 so, I turn 50 in July. My thirties was my decade. Literally met my husband 2 months before turning 30, got married at 32, quit work at 38, and started a small business, had my baby at 39. Words of wisdom...everyone has their own timeline. Do not judge your life by what others are experiencing in their lives, especially in this Era of social media. Your time will come. Oh, and no matter what your age...use sunscreen 😊
Hello Allie!!
I wanted to share with you that your second point---that motherhood is better than you expected---sincerely motivated and inspired me. My birthday was also earlier this month, and I only turned 20! I am only entering the decade you are stepping out of, but I am also entering a stage in life that you have just entered---motherhood! I'm expecting the arrival of my baby in early July. The fact that you were able to launch both your beauty brand and enter motherhood at the same time made me realize that I can still fulfill my career goals and be a good mother. For sure, finding a balance is hard---but I can see through your success that the hard work pays off. I have been following you since my early teenage years, and I was ecstatic when I learned that you were having a baby. Motherhood is truly a blessing, and I sincerely cried when I watched your announcement video. I can't wait to try your beauty brand (which I've been secretly wishing for for years) and see all the incredible launches to come!!
I love you and your family so much!! You have truly been an important figure in my life, and I hope that one day you come across my comment.
God Bless you and your family.
With lots of love, Mireya
Happy birthday!!
Sleep is so important! As a sleep specialist, it made me happy to hear that your husband and now you also make sleep a priority. Setting yourself up for successful sleep is something that is crucial but often very overlooked.
You are just the sweetest! I am happy for you and you sweet family and all your success! I am very mature in comparison to you! I am 61 and have watched you for years! I’ve watched your businesses grow and I feel like a proud moma! Stay true to who you are and above all teach that sweet baby about her higher being and know that is her rock foundation! Absolutely enjoyed seeing this video and hearing your heart!
I’m only 28 but what I learned this year is “happiness is always the right career choice”. I recently moved across the country to be with my partner and left a job that made me terribly unhappy. It wasn’t easy, and I’m still looking for the next position but I know long term creating happiness for myself outside of my job will make me a better employee and professional. ❤️
Happy birthday Allie, you are so beautiful, and I'm not just talking about the outside, but on the inside as well. You are so smart for your young years. As a 58 year old, I do not claim to know much, but everything you said is spot on. I wish I had the same fortitude that you exude at such a young age. You have followed such a wonderful path on your journey! Stay true to yourself, always. ❤😊
Happy Birthday 🎉 Allie! I've been watching you since you had 100 subscribers! One piece of advice that I at 53 still try to live by was given to me by my Dad, he said "Nothing is too tough, you just got to have faith!" It's true, nothing tough lasts forever and you just need to have faith that it will get better!!
My advice is just to try to always live by these things! It's an awesome list, and honestly really impressive you've already figured these things out by 30 (at almost 39, some of these things are super new to me!). But KNOWING something is very different than DOING something. Like, I KNOW sleep is a priorty, but that doesn't stop me from staying up way too late because it's the only time of day that no one needs me. Truly live by this list, and life will be golden. ❤ Welcome to your thirties! It'll be a wild ride!
From a very Mature viewer, I've learned it's not bad to be "Mature"...and my favorite thing from your list that really "spoke" to me is that "No is a complete answer". Brilliant !
I have a big one this year as well! I’m turning 50, the difference between 30 and 50 is a lot of learning too. It’s crazy, constantly learning, but I do love that about life.
Happy Birthday Allie 🎉
I am also a February girl, I love that you are too!!
February girls rule ❤
I love your channel so happy for all that is happening in your life!
Happy 30th 🥳
I am turning 68 Tuesday, I loved hearing the 30 things you have learned in 30 years and I know you are full of wisdom!
I believe that you get that wisdom from following God, keep sharing with your audience, your young audience especially needs good role models these days ❤
Forgive ourself. If you don't lead the way, nobody else will. We are all human and it's OK to make mistakes - that's how we learn. Regret is greasy and will clog up your life if you let it. I'm 70+ and love indulging my girlie moments by learning about makeup from you. 🥰
Happiest of birthdays! I am 32, and in the last few years, I have truly felt a shift in how I feel in my own skin. So much more established, mature, and confident in who I am as a woman. I hope 30 is your best year yet! 🎉
Happy birthday, Allie. In my family on your birthday the birthday person is always asked to share a bit of wisdom from being one year older. That’s what this video reminds me of! Have a wonderful celebration with your sweet family!
Happy Birthday Allie! The ‘Be Present’ is so important! My horse trainer guru Warwick Schiller talks about this all the time. People who are past focused are unhappy, People who are future focused are anxious… just focus on the now… and that’s when the magic happens.
Happy birthday Allie! I’m nearing 27, and still figuring things out, but a tip that I read several years ago that has stuck with me is don’t be the first to let go of a hug, you don’t know how much the other person might be needing it. May your next 30 be lovely and fulfilling ❤
2 things I've learnt is that 1. You don't always have to have a plan, and not having one can sometimes open up possibilities you never expect and 2. You don't always need to have an answer to something, everyone is always asking about what is next and you don't need to have an answer to that before you are ready.
Happy Birthday!!🥳 I turn 47 in a couple weeks, but I don't feel "old" yet lol! The best advice I have is: Kindness doesn't cost anything, feel free to spread it around. Give people the benefit of the doubt, but don't be a doormat. Live without regrets, because the past can't be changed, but you cam choose each day to do your best, and then you have nothing to worry about. Many happy vibes and thoughts sent your way, and may you find even more happiness in the years to come! 😊
Happy birthday, Allie 🥳🎉 I’m 51 and I’ve realized that I need to SLOW DOWN and just enjoy life! We only get one and boy oh boy does it go by quickly. Also, realize that life is like a roller coaster with lots of ups and downs and it’s in those up’s and downs where we learn valuable life lessons.
Happy birthday Allie! Being in your 30’s is actually my favorite time in live right now. I’ll be 34 in May and I love to step back and look at how far I’ve come in love in those 33 years. I have two handsome boys and a great husband I have made a wonderful life with. I’ve been watching your videos for a long time and I have learned so much from you! I love experimenting with making up and learning new tricks. Makeup makes me feel good about myself. Your videos have helped me find my self confidence again through make up. Thank you for being our friend!❤
Happy Birthday, Allie! Enjoy your 30s -- it's a fun time of life! I'm 56, and one thing that age has taught me (and which I wish I had learned sooner!) is that it's not important for everyone to like me. There are people I don't vibe with -- not that they've done anything wrong, but we just have different personalities -- and so I have to allow people to feel similarly about me. It's freeing to not feel the need to make everyone want to be my friend!
My main advice is regarding motherhood... Always trust your instinct when it comes to your child's health. Our instincts are 99% on point. Have a great birthday 🎂
Happy birthday Allie! One thing I’ve learnt is to take everything one step at a time, move at your own pace and enjoy life in general. You inspire us all have a fabulous 30 ❤
Happy birthday 🎉 I'm currently 35 and so far it's been my best decade for self acceptance and self love. I married and had my girls in ny 20's so for that it was a great decade but it was a decade for everyone else, what I could be for everyone else, this one is for me.
Hope you enjoy your day and being in your 30's. 🥳🎉
