- hello, hi! i missed you all so so much. i hope you all felt so loved on valentine's day. even though i spent it solo, i really enjoyed myself in trying a new matcha-inspired recipe, which was matcha white chocolate covered strawberries. when i tell you they were the best thing i've tasted in a long time? 12/10!
how are we liking the extra long knotless braids? i'm obsessed! grateful i didn't run into a terrible atl braider situation. everything was seamless from booking to dipping the braids. love this for me. annnddd, how do we like these fire red cherry french nails for valentine's day? definitely not my norm, but i used to love colorful and fun nails back in college and high school.
cats out the bag on the NYC deal, lol. but when i tell you i've already run into so many hiccups with landlords and these rent prices?! i am trying my best not to give up and just pack all my things and move to miss Denver!!
anyways, i hope your week is going amazing! take care all ways, always. enjoy! xo ❣️

I notice a lot of us women spending time to ourselves and being comfortable in enjoying our own company. I sure did go to the movies and did dinner after alone. Nothing wrong with learning how to create boundaries❤
our peace is too precious and way too expensive when you've done enough work for it all to be internal. when nothing external holds your peace hostage you gotta be real selfish to ensure no one f*cks with that haha. i love that for you! i miss a good solo movie date!! boundaries are important! ❤
@@xrpfreak7881 actually i won’t you sound dumb. You can be single and ready for a relationship when the time comes. BYE
💯‼️‼️‼️‼️
I go jewellery shopping and cinema by myself all the time 😊
@@PoSHEmediaglobal same here i go to Ulta for a “few” things lol then to the movies
Dear Amani, I wanted to express my gratitude for the positive impact your channel has had on my mental health and overall wellbeing. As a 31-year-old woman living in Cape Town, South Africa, discovering your page on TH-cam has been transformative. Your vulnerability, love for matcha, and the genuine embrace of self-love resonates deeply with me. Watching your videos has become a source of calm for my nervous system, and I genuinely appreciate the healing space your platform provides. Thank you for sharing your authenticity and making a meaningful difference in my life.
I’m 53 and discovering this. I’m so happy for the younger generations learning this. I wish I had. I always thought it was something wrong with me
awww, i'm so happy you've discovered what you needed. learning to also not put timelines onto things has helped me a lot. rooting for you! 💗💗
I’m convinced your vlogs have crack in them 😭 i could watch you all day 🤍✨
LOLLLL i am hollering!! you so silly 😂. thank you so so much for being here and watching my love!! 🥰
I agree❤❤
same girl 😭 i even rewatch old ones
Same, love them so much! Loving the 1 hour vlogs - keep them coming please!
Me tooo
I am 60 plus, and I live this young lady. She is unapologetic about loving her own company and living her best life. ❤
awww, omg omg. thank you so so much for watching. I am really doing my best to just grow and glow through this thing called life ❤❤❤ sending you so much love!!
As a baby boomer at age 72 took a long time to love my own company, so I tell younger women have Self Love Self care never give up! Love this life
@@rosalindstarks8744 At 41, I am just learning this. Thank you for the advice.
I have learned so much from this channel. That its okay to go out alone , its okay to take care of myself , its so important to take care of my mental health . Its important to rest . Its so important to love me first .Its okay to feel so low sometimes I just have to take it one step at a time .thank you Amani❤
wowwww, this almost made me tear. thank you for reminding me why i do what i do and that none of this goes in vein. i am so grateful for you and this community that always gives me grace and truly sees me for me. we're truly never alone and i'm happy i get to share pieces of my life with you ❤❤❤
Nothing like being so happy being solo 🎉
literally!! it feels the best when the joy is truly internal!!
This is what living alone and loving on yourself looks like.
Keep it up sis!!! ❤
aww, i appreciate you!!
I so love my alone time!!! No man can ever substitute this🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️😂😂😂😂
I need the jazz playlisttttt
Me too!!!!
I love my own company. I do solo trips , dates and all things. I cherish my peace and alone time. I love your videos. Your personality is infectious and relatable. I've been living in Denver for almost 2 years now and its cool overall. I'm originally from California and theyre definitely some similarities. I'm thinking ahead and trying to decide where my next destination will be. I lived abroad for years and l plan to move back. I like to keep my options open.
omggggg, please tell me more about your experience in living in Denver!! do you feel like it's lacking or thriving in certain areas? there's nothing wrong with wanting to up and leave and try something new if you want to experience something different.
Sis, this fresh energy on you is radiating and it’s penetrating even through this phone ! Stay encouraged babe !
awww this makes me feel really really good! i’ve really been in such great spirits ❤❤ doing my best to stay encouraged ✨🤸🏾♀️
I waited for my Sunday to calm down so I could enjoy my time with you. Keep living your best life.
OMG!! I SCREAMED laughing at the singing to the fruit bowl. 😂😂😂 Love, love, love your vlogs!❤
LOLLLL all i do is play i tell ya! very unserious 🤣
I love your vlogs.
I'm married and have always loved my alone time from age 17. Dinners alone, cinema, art galleries. Nothing wrong with loving your own company.x

You are a breath of fresh air in helping in my stress. Blessed be to you goddess.

If you’re in the market for a new dryer, definitely invest in the Dyson. It’s a game changer if you style your own hair. My hair no longer feels dry when I silk press
hmmmm, should I? i remember i tried it back in LA and I feel it didn't work fully. but I will circle back!!
Loved this vlog! Thank you for sharing ❤
thank you beautiful!! so, so happy you enjoyed!! ❤
Check out NJ! It’s so close to NYC. I live near Edgewater/Hoboken and I have a view of the skyline. It takes 15 minutes to get into manhattan. So glad you’re moving back 🤍
i will!! thank you so so much! i cannot wait to get backkkkkk ❤❤
Same sis! Never used to get sick until I got Covid November 2019. Weakened my immune system BAD. Take care of yourself babes you’re still young and healthy it’s ok 🫶🏽

OMG I was about to listen to some music and SEEN MY GIRL HAS UPLOADED A NEW VIDDDDDDDDDDD!!! 💚💚💚💚

You are such a wonderful girl.❤
awww, thank you so so much!! 💗
I agree. If she were my child I would be over the moon.
Being single can get lonely sometime I’d rather be with somebody, but if not, I could leave by myself too. You can do a lot of things by yourself enjoy enjoy enjoy yourself and be happy with yourself.
this is true!! it does it lonely, but it's better not to settle for the sake of just having another body. you know??
Love the nails ❤
thank you boo!!!
If one cannot explore and connect with another soul to share our space with, then celebrate being alone. My father told me when I was 21 to live my good life that I was living, purchased my house, had good friends,travelled in Europe, West Indies and North American. My faith was growing and I took part in local and international projects - no stress. However, my father told me to enjoy my life then, because as as one day, one day… I may find myself walking alongside someone who I would want to share my life with, we would both be equal on material and all levels. Well🎉 yes, my father lived to see me meet that person, and here we are thirty two years from the time of our meeting still exploring and sharing and living together - travelling to Europe together in the coming weeks. Stay focused, and there is no need to be anyone else🎉🎉🎉
Yessss gurl you got this 😊
