Q&A » getting personal 

📲 Yay! Our Pick Up Limes app is finally here (1-week free trial!): bit.ly/PUL_app 🎉

The story about how you and your boyfriend met is one of the most romantic I've ever heard. Such a coincidence you two ended up in the same place at the same time, far away from home. But maybe some coincidences are not coincidences at all.

Finally! A health/vegan channel that is calming, non-judgmental and down to earth. I truly hope as her channel grows she will stay the same. Never change, Sadia!

So lovely to learn more about you. At 26 years of age, you seem wise beyond your years, so I'm confident you'll have much continued growth and success ahead of you. xo

U r amazing... i feel so calm, positive and happy after hearing you.. and your voice is like a meditation capsule, I forgot all the tension... 😊

What a great story on how you met your boyfriend, thanks for sharing.

I'm glad I checked this older vidieo. I was always wondering, "Is she originally Persian or Indian?" Sadia, "Afghan" Well, that explains it! :) You are a beautiful lady, body, mind and soul. Good luck. I wish you all the best.

When I watched one of your videos for the very first time, I just knew you were afghan! An afghan can tell an afghan :) You look afghan AND could tell from your VOICE! So happy you are doing so great and touching the lives of so many people.

You are soul goals.

Its amazing how much you have done in life at the age of 26. Most 50 year olds haven’t done as much as you. It’s great your a go getter and take the risks of change. Getting dropped off on a island by your self would make some people want to go back home.

Robin is so handsome!! I love how you guys met, it was so spontaneous and unique and gives me hope that I can meet someone in person and not through a dating app :/ Question, are you and robin the same religion/have the same values? And what has the cultural differences between you guys been like? I hope you are teaching each other your languages! :)

Really love how you answered the question about where you're from! I find the question not entirely necessary unless you feel comfortable sharing that with someone close... it's such a history for many of us that brings up emotions we don't want everyone to understand.

Here is another Afghan born in Pakistan and living in Australia. Love your content ❤️

omg! I just realized you already have 320k followers! I subscribed at around 2k and it was just like a month ago. I'm so happy for you.

Just found your channel about a week ago and I'm so glad I did! You're an inspiration ♡

Thank you for both of the wonderful videos! You are such an inspiration, Sadia, and I am so thrilled I found your channel!

I was smiling all along the two Q&As. Thank you so much for sharing, Sadia. Kisses and hugs from 🇲🇽

Very sweet of you to share your personal history. Your a fascinating, lovely lady & you inspire & encourage me every time I listen to you.☺

Can you show your personal care products ? like shampoo, conditioner, soaps, creams, and other stuff?

So happy to watch two videos from you today. I did get my questions answered so thank you Sadia. It's such a joy to be in your presence.

I can listen to you all day! Thanks for opening up about your journey.

your voice is extremely soothing , looking forward for more and more videos from your channel!! ☺

It's wonderful getting to know you and learning from you. I recently made your coconut-almond granola and it's da bomb! ;) It's both nutritious and delicious and that's just the perfect combination. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe on your blog! And congratulations on the success of PUL. I'm sure it's only the beginning. :) All the best, Sadia! Keep doing what you're doing and just be you. :)

OH MY GOODNESS; i didn't know that you lived in the Netherlands. your video on bingeing was a life-saver to me, so it's very comforting knowing such a beautiful soul lives in the same country as me!

You are such an amazing and inspiring person. yours is the first RU-vid video I have ever subscribed. Hearing you makes me so calm and peaceful. Love your videos ,keep them coming.

I just want to take a moment to thank you so much Sadia. I'm going through a really difficult period in my life right now, and your channel and your videos are so calming and inspiring. You really are a beautiful soul. And I wish you all the best for your channel. ❤

I cannot believe you are this young, yet so mature and grounded. Your parents must have done an amazing job at raising you! and of course your own hard work also shows in your accomplishments and demeanour. Just want to commend you for being you! and thank you for sharing all this wonderful information. I especially appreciate your attention to detail and way of presentation. Keep up the great work! much love from Germany ;)

Hi Sadia, I just wanted to say that I really appreciate how genuine you are. I only recently stumbled across your videos (I don't where I first saw PUL), but I feel I have already gained a lot from them. I hope that you continue to put out such wonderful content, as it has helped me become more reflective in my life as well. Thank you so much for your knowledge!

Oh, you're one of my inspirations! I admire how calm and happy you are, sending lots of love

Hello fellow RD! Such a sweet calming gracious spirit that you are. There’s so many things I listen to but none where it’s as easy to breathe. Love your videos!

Dear Sadia, Thank you so much for sharing so many details of your life! I thoroughly enjoy your videos and the PickupLimes website! You bring a lot of calm and joy into my life and I am really grateful for that. Please keep going!

Listening to you talk just makes me so calm... you have a lovely voice and it is relaxing.

Thank you Sadia, that was indeed personal and u feel I know you for a long time now. Santorini looks amazing and you are very sweet and special to share your life and your knowledge with all of us. Thanks indeed!

You're such an inspiration. To be honest, you're one of the main motivation that's helped me go plant-based so thank you Sadia!

it's so soothing to hear you after so many days 😘😘loved your story💗you are soo cute and calm

Thanks for sharing about yourself in both videos, I'm always curious about the paths others take that lead them to where they are now :) I found your channel a month ago and really loving it! Looking forward to the next one :)

So glad to have you back and great video's!

I love your videos. I watch you when I'm feeling low and it helps me.

Loved the Q&A videos and getting to know a bit about you. Pick up Limes has become a favorite for my RU-vid viewing. Can't wait to see where you take the channel next.

Just discovered your YT channel. So glad that I did. Love your attitude towards life. You are a breath of fresh air.

OMG your love story is beautiful! I notice you are younger than I thought and you accomplish amazing things. I admire you a lot and I wish you good luck on that projects you named 😊

WAIT OMG TWO VIDEOS IN ONE DAY??? ❤️❤️

Found your channel and I'm in love with everything you speak of! I would love a video on fashion, clothes/jewlrey you wear daily or recommend perhaps when traveling!

Thank you Sadia! Most of my 20s and 30s (currently 35) I've spent as little time as possible cooking. I ate the same thing almost all the time ever since I became allergic to Monosodium Glutamate, which put me in a state of Migraine with Auras. They are very painful and I can't see anything until they go away. Other chemicals have those effects on me too. A few weeks ago, I decided I would re-evaluate my diet. I started with the Potato Hack, but while I have no problems eating the same thing over and over, I had the great chance to stumble on your channel. It's been a few weeks now that I eat like a vegan, but I don't consider myself one. I've lost 12 pounds, I started running everyday like I used to a few years ago and I eat better as a prevention for my health. Pick Up Limes is now my favorite channel, I use it daily and I can't wait for each new videos. I still find it hard to cook tasty stuff other than breakfasts and desserts. But I'm filling my kitchen with healthy alternatives and I'm sure your recipes will help me to stay on track! From a french Canadian, merci mille fois! Continue de nous inspirer et de nous séduire avec ton beau sourrire!

I just realized how fast your channel have grown and I'd just wanted to say congrats. You definitely earned it. Love your videos 😘

I am from Nicaragua and I discovered your channel some weeks ago and it's been such a blessing Btw, beautiful story about how you met Robin ;)

Usually I don't like listening to people talking about themselves but listening to you is an experience in itself ! Finding your channel has been a highlight !

I'm so happy to know more about you. I really like the way you talk and smile and the videos you make.

Hi, I discovered your channel by "mistake" and I'm so happy that I found it!! You transmit such good vibes and I really needed it in this time of my life! Thank you for sharing and motivating!!

Love your videos ! Your simplicity and confidence is so refreshing. Keep up the great work. Would be nice if you added a lot more of the Netherlands in your video.

really love your videos for the reason that you get connected to the viewer very quickly. i am a vegan right from my childhood but didn't knew that it's even different abt plant based lifestyle . may pick up limes grow thank you for all the suggestion and lovely calm n soothing videos.

I didn't even know you lived in the Netherlands untill I saw your latest lunch recipe video and I saw the tofu and recognised the brand. I'm so excited now because I live in the Netherlands as well!

Amongst all things you said, I really love the thought behind your tattoo. To be honest, I realized I need something like this too so thank you for putting it into words! ❤️❤️❤️ Also your hair's so shiny, we can literally see how healthy you are :)

Watching your videos have a calming effect..u are very sweet and humble ...i like the way u compile your videos and the best part about your videos is that u explain everything in a very soft tone unlike other RU-vidrs who look and sound very hyped up ...keep it up Love from India !!
