I understand how some people say you are boring is because they are close minded and think that to be fun you have to be a clown. I see you as the person that I could see with and talk about life and laugh for hours and the room would never be quiet because you would have something else to say every time. There’s different type of fun!
Dixi Cald - thank you! I agree. I think that because I’m not super energetic and giggly in my videos people assume I’m not fun but doing that in my videos would be me putting on a show and that not me. I don’t want to be fake. I know lots of youtubers are more energetic and spunky and some do it because that’s the only way to keep people’s attention but it’s also being fake. I’m not here to make people laugh but I can naturally be funny in a face to face conversation while being myself.
Agree, that’s called being authentic and having healthy quality fun. Not just “fun” to post on social media for the sake of likes or to be accepted in today’s extroverted society.
She's literally drop dead gorgeous, insightful and is such a beautiful refreshing soul. She is organic,which is why i subscribed to her channel like 4 or 5 years ago.
Hi! Ive actually been following you like 4ever, and i would like to say that i dont find you boring. Your actually a breath of fresh air with keeping it cool and calm, and what i mean by that is that you dont rush through your videos and what you say. I find it cool that you dont do it like everyone else. 🤗
I don’t have friends either lol 😔. Currently working on trying to make a few mom friends. 🙏🏽🙏🏽 And I love how laid back and non judgmental you are when it comes to living an organic lifestyle.
fine9ja - glad you relate! I always had a group of friends as a child, teen but naturally we grow apart go in different directions in life and lose touch. I had a baby at 21 and didn’t have a lot of time to hang with friends but along the way realized, my real friends made time to be around me and stay involved in my life even with my changes and out of my group of friends only 1 stood by me through my journey and she’s still here today. I am friendly and try to make friends as a adults but it’s not not easy to build a genuine friendship.
I love watching your videos because you don’t have any DRAMA!!! I’m so sick of “watch so and so END so and so”, “the tea on so and so” . Just be you girl!! We appreciate that!!
ijstlvumor xo - I love Whitney also! She’s been my fave since I started RU-vid and blessed to have met her, gotten to know her personally and work together on projects in the past. She’s awesome and we get along so well because she’s genuine in and out of RU-vid.
Kayla Canedy *weeknd* but just a question: have you ever heard any of his older music on his album “Trilogy” or “Kissland”? You may only know him for his mainstream songs like “the hills” but his old work is his best imo. He really is extremely talented and makes great music.
Kelcey Have you heard any of his older music as well? Because he has some amazing lyrical talent that shows in most of his older music, instead of his mainstream songs where it mainly is just sex and money. Songs like “Echoes of Silence,” “Montreal,” And “The Knowing” are just a few great ones
I love how chill you are which I think a lot of people confuse for "boring". That's why I first started watching you all those years ago, because you stayed true to who you are and didn't have an over the top "youtube persona". Thank you for sharing :)
oliz98 - Thank you! That’s a good one. Reality is... some people go on RU-vid to be entertained and some go on RU-vid to get answers and insight or be to build knowledge on something. I’m not an entertainer or comedian and if I tried to be, I’d be fake a hell in my content and it’d show lol I’m just be my calm chill vibe self.
You are so right about this new music! They could repeat the same words throughout the song and throw some Adlibs and a beat on it and it’s on the radio! It’s crazy!! Some of it is catchy like you said.
I can relate about not having friends. I too have one BF and we dont see each other as much as we would like. The funny thing is..... we live in the same city 😂
I had my girl very young now we are like the same age having miss some of my youth's cuz i became a parent but I swear i wouldn't trade it for the world Amazing I'm blessed plus I look like I have no kid😁
When this video popped up and I read the small post, I had to come watch people are so mean it's sad that bullying or bashing isnt just amongst kids anymore. Girl you are fabulous! PERIOD.
I’ve been following you since before you went clean and I think you’ve opened up in videos quite a bit! I love your vibe! You’re the first one to start teaching me about my curly hair too!! I feel you on the friend thing! Good friends are about quality not quantity. Plus, when you are married to your best friend and you have a good friendship and can be yourself around your husband then that’s enough! I have my husband and I have one good friend that lives by me and my bff lives in NY so I don’t get to see her as often but that’s it and it’s just enough!
Thank you. Great responses! I love your calm, honest responses. It is great to break down the assumptions and be open and honest. I really agree about music. I am exactly the same. Lyrics are very important. They invade your being and psyche.
I'm not on social media much but I decided to watch this video. That was amazing. You were very vulnerable and honest and I respect that. I enjoy watching you because you seem sincere and are just relaxed. Everyone does not have to be a clown or over the top. Needless to say, if someone is bored they don't have to watch you... Simple
smw4900 - thank you! That’s exactly it. Everyone doesn’t come on RU-vid to be entertained and some only come on RU-vid for entertainment. This means everyone on RU-vid can’t be entertainers. Some of us enlighten others by being ourselves and some of us are naturally funny and spunky but that’s not me. I’m naturally chill and calm but if I’m excited I’ll show it when it’s real. I can’t pretend to be excited and energetic when I’m not. Some people call that boring.
SunKissAlba you obviously have a fan base or people who desire to watch. That's all that matters. I hope you remain positive. Unfortunately doing what you do... You will always have negative people who ironically would never have the guts to sit in front of a camera and expose any portion of their lives, habits, routines to people they've never met. This video just confirmed why I felt led to subscribe to you a couple years ago. You did encourage me to try a few different things (Bronners Castile Soap). Im still using that to this day. Not sure I'll ever be completely green but you have given me things to think about. So in a way, you caused me to want to do better and be better. That's something you should be proud of considering we've never met
smw4900 - that’s so beautiful! Thanks for sharing that with me. I never set out to be fully green or organic etc... it kinda just progressed that way as I lived life, learned something as time went on and continued learning as I move on to the next. I’m still learning and still don’t consider myself fully green or organic on all categories and I don’t aim to be. But I’m so glad to have inspired you to change something that felt important to you. It’s not about changing everything just because... it has to be because you feel its necessary.
I've been following you for years now and I love your videos! you're very inspirational and one of the reasons I switch to healthier ingredients most of the time
First off, i have always thought you are just so beautiful 😍💗💗💗 You seem so down to earth & genuine and I love that about you. As sweet as you are beautiful! 🌺 Secondly, I love how you described what could be going on in other people’s lives and we can’t tell just looking at them! That was so deep & so true! Beautiful home & background. I love how you embrace & redefine “boring” I’m “boring” too 🤗💗 I don’t drink either. Like you, I hate wine 🍷 & it gave me headaches. I used to drink once or twice a year. I like fruity drinks like piña coladas 😋🍍🥥
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you relate to my alcohol issue and how social media only shows us a persons highlights not their daily life or struggles. Thanks for the kind message :)
Hey chica. still loving your videos. glad you're doing well. I'm an old soul too when it comes to music. I can totally relate. So happy to see a new video! happy summer!!
💕Great video Alba. Loved ALL the responses, especially the ones for the tougher/less favorable assumptions. Thanks for staying level headed and not shying away. Your character 🌞🌞SHINES🌞🌞 beautifully in this video.
amagglady - thank you! I always love taking the opportunity to be real. That’s the only way I can be relatable by being honest and not fearing what others think about my reality.
This is such a good video! I appreciate that you wanted to open up a little! You talking about your diet made me curious about something: Since you normally eat food with clean ingredients, what do you eat when you go out to a restaurants with friends or family?
Ruby DeMaio - Thanks for watching! 😊 Well 1st eating out isn’t a frequent habit for me but there are cases we meet up with friends/family outdoors and have to eat out somewhere. But it’s never been an issue to find clean food for us to eat and when you have your friends/family’s understanding on why you prefer eating clean, respect comes with understanding. Our family and friends know our journey from the start and have witnessed our son’s autism going from severe to less severe due to our lifestyle changes. So when we started 5 years ago, in the beginning it was a constant conversation to help them be aware and understand that were trying to do things differently for the sake of our child’s health and we explained it’s important they don’t offer or give our son anything without our consent first. And they respected that, but we didn’t start off depriving ourselves of eating out, just him. As time went on we later began tightened up and became more devoted to ONLY clean food and drinks. And in the occasional cases we’d eat out with someone, out of respect for us they always choose a place that also provided organic options on the menu. If there’s an event set up by someone else that isn’t organic we either choose to go and not eat there but still attend and hang with loved ones or we choose not to go. If it’s a kids party, we bring our son his own snacks and drink and we don’t eat there but everyone else does. If I eat out with a friend, 99% of the time it’s me inviting them somewhere so I pick the place and don’t even tell them its because of the ingredients quality. I just casually say, “there’s this great Italian restaurant I found, let’s meet up there” or “omg I found the best Spanish spot in Jersey meet me here”... and when they get there and they see the menu I then point out, “how cool is it that this place uses organic grass fed meat and no preservatives and only organic seasoning!” So we’re eating food they’re already use to except it’s made with cleaner ingredients. So there’s always a way to manage eating out and everyone enjoying their time together without compromising their beliefs. That’s fair for all of us. There are times where I’m walking with family and my cousin or sis in law wants to stop at Dunkin’ Donuts and that’s totally fine, do you. We stop, she gets what she wants and we keep it moving. Just cuz she gets DD doesn’t mean I have to. That what “setting the example” means. As we continue walking we then see my fave spot “Juice Press” and I stop there, get me a freshly made smoothie, juice, or milk shake and guess what? They always regret stopping at that DD instead of waiting to try my spot which not only looked better and tempting but taste better and feels better. They end up getting something at Juice press also.
SunKissAlba- Wow! Thanks so much for taking the time to type out this response! I really appreciate it! You made it sound like it’s so easy. Makes me want to look up what places around me use clean ingredients. Thanks again!
vanillall1 - I should do that! It’s tricky to share with the actual music sound though as you’ve flags and bans videos with artist copyright even if we give the artist credit so it’s tricky to do that on RU-vid without getting my channel flagged.
I’ve been watching you since before your lifestyle change...I believe the first video I ever saw of yours was a video about how you were trying achieve healthy curls after heat damage or something waaay back when. And I still enjoy your videos until this day. I love your vibe and admire your natural lifestyle. I’ve learned sooo much from watching you all these years and don’t think you are boring at all. If anything I’m clicking on your video immediately once I see you’ve uploaded 😊
You are my absolute favorite person that I follow, and genuinely care about even though I don’t know you personally, I’ve been following you for so long and relate to you soooo much! I’m watching the video and saying “me too!” for the majority of the stuff you said. You can actually express yourself, I would have trouble with saying some of the things you said in this video and be cool, calm and collected. Keep it up you are doing so well. Love you girl ❤️
Wow. Thank u so much for this video. I have been following u on RU-vid and ig for like 6 or more years now. U are my number 1 youtuber. I have been so into u and ur life and everything u do Bc I always thought u were similar to me. In hair and curl pattern and looks and when u use to wear ur hair long and straight. I followed u thru so much and never saw a video like this so real in a long time where u debunk what ppl may have been thinking. I love that u did this. I was wondering myself how u felt about youtube lately. Also I thought u seemed very neat and clean and I didn’t know how to copy that Bc I have two kids. 8 and 2 years old and I didn’t understand how u could always b so perfect. I admire everything about u. And I feel closer to u now that u said these things. I don’t have many friends either and would love to be ur friend. I also didn’t know u lived in an apt. I thought for sure a big house. I live in an apt as well currently. Ur videos are so clean and calm. I would never have thought u had the “pile of clothes in the chair” that we all have. Lol. I loved this video. Please make more like this. I have wondered for a long time if u were vegan as well. I was doing keto for a while but started to jus eat better with a very small amount of carbs vs the “high fat” diet. I would love to know more about u. If u need a friend with similar interests, I’m available. ☺️ Side note: what was ur exact makeup routine for this video? Ur face looks so fresh, flawless, glowy, and moisturized. I want to try this exact make up and skin care routine.
This is such an honest video thank you, I love when the youtubers that I watch are genuine! I agree with you about today’s music, they don’t make it like they used to! I didn’t realise that the amount of subscribers didn’t count and that it’s all about the views, I’ll bare that in mind for my channel! Im not a big drinker either, 1 or 2 is fine with me! Thanks for sharing honey 💗🤗
Everyone has their own opinions on how they feels about each individuals= First let me say a few things that I Love about U = I love the fact that U take Ur time and do research about natural products and share it with Ur RU-vid family= I've learned a lot of things from U = From the natural homemade toothpaste And the laundry detergent to the skin care products= And the list goes on= Watching Ur RU-vid Videos = I always take away so many positive things= Ur doing an amazing job = I pray that God will continue to blessed U to do the things that Ur doing= Thank U for sharing
Alba you're the most pleasant person to be around. I love the indept info in your videos. You are pne of the few people on youtube I trust when they say something is good for you. That say a lot. The way you honor your hysband and love ancare for your children and him say a lot of what kind of person you are. Loves Liza.
Been following since u started yearssss ago u inspired me to get my curls back to healthy, u rock ur natural hair so beautifully!😍 and I get ur personality a Lil similar to mine how I stay to myself when im around a big group but one on one I can make people laugh
Alba!!!!!!! I love you so much! You are You and I love and respect it!! We would def. be good friends in real life! Our values are much familiar plus I have learned so much from you. Muchas Bendiciones xoxo 🙏🏽💕✨
You’re early romantic life sounds similar to mine. When I was younger I didn’t believe in love or even know what real love was. For some time I was just meeting people, dating, and having fun. During that time I was working and taking like easy. Had no plans looking for a life partner, did t think I wanted marriage or to start a family. Well my husband now, co worker then had a different plan. We were friends and hung out. And before I knew it we were spending a lot of non working time together and without planning became a couple. 19yrs later here I am still happy and love and two beautiful kids. I’m also that person in my family that have been on an on and off again reinventing my families lifestyles. They aren’t always on board but I wheel them back often enough. We are 100 percent there yet but working to be more consistent. I feel like if we can get. A good balance I’ve accomplished a lot. I would like to see more from you because your information and your recommendations are so helpful and you seem very genuine and relatable. Your calmness and your confidence in what you believe and speak is what keeps me interested and love watching you. But I understand that life and mommy/wife life is priority. Take care.
Oh my gosh, I try to only eat organic (depends if I eat out)and people think I don't eat meat or like sweet stuff...what does being an organic eater have anything to do with being vegan or sugar...
I totally feel where youre coming from with the abortion/kids thing. I never wanted kids or marriage until I found the man that treats me like a fairy tale. My husband is a dream and I am now confident in sharing parenthood with him in a couple years 😊
Just to confirm to anyone who may be curious: I use the Organic Adobo she mentions in this video and it great! I used the “other” adobo for most of my life but made the switch a few years ago and my food comes out just as flavorful & delicious 👍🏼
