This vlog was super cute. But I just have to say, this is the single most American experience I've ever seen you-a both east and west coast Canadian, through and through-do on this channel. The fishing, the camo, the horses, the boots. Nailed it! 😂
Ellie went all in on the Montana adventures hahaha we love it 😂❤
What a cool group of women. Photographer, jewelry maker, fashion designer, and more? Very empowering!
So proud of my gals!! 🥹🥹
My best friend and I found each other in our 20s and are far closer than any other friendship I’ve experienced. The adult friends that you find yourself by choice are the best ones 🥰
I love that: “by choice” it’s sooo so true 🥹✨
I relate with the feeling of sadness. I have my group of friends I grew up with that I haven’t seen in years (I’m talking 10 + years), we’re all around the world, just in difficult situations to travel, but we still talk and share virtually to this day. And then I have my friends from college, that I see but not that often and I do not have friends where I live. And it’s such a weird feeling of being grateful for the friendships I’ve built since I moved to the U.S, but also feeling sad about missing my old friends and not having friends nearby, someone who I can go get coffee with or go for a run :( 💖
Not me swiping on Bumble For Friends while I watch this 😅 Longing for some wonderful friendships!
such a cute video🥹 it really just embodies girl hood and how special these bonds really are to us 💕 you were also GLOWING the entire video, absolutely stunning
It was a great vlog 🫶🏼 and i appreciate the chat about adult friendships.
I love my friends (including the ones I don’t see anymore) BUT I’m excited to meet many many other beautiful, interesting, fun and kind people too 💕
Forever grateful for the friendships I have now. Some from school, some people I knew back then and became bigger part of my life and the new people I’ve added along the way.
It’s never too late to find your people ❤❤ 😊
I NEED TO DO THIS EXACT TRIP! I loved every part of this. And the blush girl has such good energy, I love it.
What a MAGICAL vlog. I’ve been wanting to go to Montana for years (I live in Washington DC) and this video just made me determined to get there.
I think a lot about adult friendships, especially because I’ll be turning 30 in a few months and I’m still single. So much of my development as a person has come through my friendships, especially female. I have a best friend from middle school who is still my soulmate but the friendships I’ve made as an adult fill up my cup in ways I’m so grateful for, and have helped me grow and develop in amazing ways. The best time of my life will always be living in DC with my best friends right out of college and I’m incredibly grateful that I got to have that. Even though I may not have a partner yet, my life is full of love and joy because of my friendships and I think they’re a really undervalued aspect of being an adult.
One of the biggest things I tell people who struggle with friendships is to put in effort but also to allow those relationships to change. It feels like you’ve been able to do that, Allana, which really shows in the joy you bring to your friends!
Just catching up on all your videos this Sunday morning and i loved everything about this one. Found mystery smiling the entire time ❤
THIS is my fav video of you! ARE you kidding me how beautiful everything looks and all the things you did are just perfect! Also im reading "all rhodes lead here" and its actually how i imagine the places in the book!
So lucky to have all those friends and ones you can enjoy spending time together. I have never had that and ones I do would never be able to go off on a vacation due to work, family, and the cost. Thanks for sharing Montana looks beautiful
You’re not alone we were really in good shape until a few years ago and now things are hard if we have some sudden issue like something breaks, it used to be no big deal so we are being hit/I just wanted you to know that trust me people are struggling.. even if you’ve done it right your whole life and were cruising along(that’s where we were) Met my best friend when I was 42.❤ Hold on focus on what’s really important. And the little things .Everything will feel better.
Yay so excited to watch this vlog. Montana is so beautiful. Definitely on my bucket list of places to see🐴❤
It was SO beautiful I couldn’t believe it!! Every corner was like a painting
Omg LOVED seeing this adventure!!!
It was so fun I had to share 😭😭
Shocked no one knew what Lincoln logs were?! Such a fun idea for a bachelorette with another lovely group of women ✨
OBSESSED with your fly fishing outfit is an understatement
So sensitive speech Allana ❤️ I do feel the same I was sad to not grow up with the same friends because my parents moved too. Also you are right we are lucky to have met different people, it opens the mind and heart 🥰
Oh my goodness what a beautiful place to vacation!!! Of course I remember Lincoln logs!! Everyone played with them.
Friendships like any relationship take work to develop and grow. Unfortunately some people become lazy and don’t water friendships so they can blossom and become a lifelong attachment. Having that connection at an older age becomes even more important. It’s actually good for your health and wellbeing to feel that in your heart you have people you care about and that they care about you. ❤ nurture your friendships sweet Allana as you age. You’ve cultivated a beautiful tribe of women to surround yourself with.
There’s so much truth in this!
Thanks so much for this ❤❤ it’s so true!!
This is so relatable. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this because I think a lot of us are in the same season of our lives and it’s something that’s on my mind a lot!
Loveee that pink blush look
How endearing ❤. I've never been to Montana, but I have always wanted to travel there. The glorious cabins, mountains, cute shops & barbecues. My husband and I have talked about going on a weekend getaway to Old Forge or something along those lines to have that zen like cabin experience. I did in my early twenties, and ugh, it was so amazing & peaceful. I'm craving a trip like that. This time I'd bring my 2 young daughters and just know they'd love it as well. The campfires and cozy cabins 😊. I enjoyed this vlog so much, thank you so much for sharing this with us. What an amazing group of friends you have & it sure looked like a blast!! Alex (Alexandra).... That's my 1st daughters name ❤. I get so giddy whenever you upload, lol. I'm so happy that ya'll (he he) had a fabulous time. I've never been on a hot air balloon, how fun! It made me tear up in the end chat. xoxoxo ✨️ 🤗 🤠👯🐎🏕⛰️
What a fun and special weekend you had! I have different group of friends from different phases of life. For most, it's a bit difficult to get together because of distance and responsibilities but we all try to stay in touch. The friendships are always cherished. Love this beautiful vlog ♡
The white jeans were the most brave choice!😂 slaying per usual.
So happy for you and your friends, what a special trip it looked like you had the best time and made forever memories ❤ Also really appreciate your thoughts on friendship, so many people feel the same way. Like you the majority of friends I have in my life are people I met or connected with on a deeper level after college. I feel sad about it sometimes too but the quality of my relationships now as an adult is so much higher and my bond so much deeper with them I wouldn’t change a thing. The people that were meant to leave my life left and now I’m surrounded by people I hope to know forever. I’m glad you found your people too and continue to grow your circle. ❤
Thank You!! For sharing your Adventures!! My family moved around alot too. I have some of the same feeling too. Then I realize the group of people I've got to know and feel very Blessed!! So, Thank You!!!😁😁
Ok I feel like I was born for suede jackets, double denim, BBQ and line dancing, I think I need to manifest moving to Montana 😂😂 it looked so fun and nice to see an original hen!
1000% 😂 makes me want to rewatch Yellowstone and live on a ranch haha
aghhhh yellowstone vibes!!! love it xx
We sooo badly wanted to go see the ranch but it was 3+ hours away 😅 must go back!
Wow looked like a lot of fun, you packed a lot in..Building memories you'll all look back on with a smile❤😊
What a fun video, truly enjoyed!!
I have no female friends at age almost 31 with 3 kids. It's really, really hard. I used to have one best friend, but sadly, she wasn't a dependable person.
Same! I just started a doctorate program this year though and my cohort is very small so I'm hoping to make some close friends and future colleagues. It's hard. My sister is my best friend and outside of her and my husband, I don't really have close connections
I have no "real" friends outside of my work colleagues, my sister and a few people I stay connected via social media. I'm married and spend all my off-work time with my husband and family. I have been hurt by so many girls/women in the past that I am now very content with not having any in my life. Will that change? Who knows.
Same!! You’re not alone. I’m 33 with no kids
I'm 33 - 1 kid, and no longer speak to my longest "best friend". Quite sad. But I've really tried to make friends with other moms. It's been a lot of work but I think I've found my new "crew". Never thought life would happen the way it did. I've also made a new best friend from a previous job.
Same 40, 2 kids no female friends. No family around.
Such a cute fun trip! Friendship’s definitely get harder with age and especially once people start having families. I feel like that’s when you really discover who your people are. I’ve been incredibly lucky to have some amazing people at all stages of my life.
This was such a fun vlog! I found myself smiling the whole way through. 🤍
Loved this one ! Montana seems amazing and the horsies ❤ the shirt 👚 also buying it to see of it looks as amazing on me 😂
thank you for sharing your amazing trip, and those sweet and funny clips of your friends. Your chat on friendships, I can relate so much. I moved every year as a kid, then after 24 years in Canada I moved back to Spain. Then moved to 3 different regions in Spain! Holding on to your long distance friends can be a lot of effort but so worth it. The people who come into our lives as we grow and change can be so important, even if you haven't known them all your life. Treasure your friends, they are the family you choose 💖
Waw, stunning vid! Loved everything about it❤XX
Although you might have felt you missed out on friendships when you were younger I think in some ways the moving round has been a benefit to you now; I get really shy and awkward in new social situations but you seem great at getting to know people and making new friends wherever you end up 🥰
This is so wholesome! ☺️
Obsessed with Lincoln Logs as a kid!
🌲🌲🌲🌲
Wow, looks like you had a wonderful time! You should do a video with your friend on her favourite makeup or a 'what's in my makeup bag'.
Agreed she has some killer looks, we need the tea 😍✨
LOVE MONTANA!!!! AANNNDDDDD can we talk about how your skin is glowing guurrllll 💗💗💗💗💗
I saw snippets of the trip on Instagram first. I live near Bozeman, know all the spots you went to and a long time ago my husband was the executive chef at the place you stayed in Big Sky. I was texting my sister like “OMG, Allana’s here in my town!!” Haha. Love it ❤
Loved this vlog so much!! I’ve never wanted to fly fish more haha
I love the Bozeman area! There is so much to do! I also did a girls trip there and posted on my IG about all the food places we stopped at! Storm Castle is definitely a favorite! Having friends all over the world is hard at times but it'd also such a beautiful thing! Thank you for sharing your trip!
This video was edited beautifully!
“Separated in different lives” that is so real for people that travel a lot… I totally get you.
Im more on the sad side because I definitely have found my girls during uni and now each one of us live in a different country. It’s so hard but also such an accomplishment!
We will be together this summer, I can’t wait!
Totally agree! It’s so sad knowing that we can’t just pop over for a coffee or go for a stroll, but it makes it so special when you do finally reunite 🥲💖
you can turn the meaning of 'quality over quantity' into 'quality of time spent together over quantity'. As an adult, I feel like I can skip to meaningful friendships faster than when I was younger because we get to the heart of things without the awkwardness of immense amounts of shared time.
If that made any sense.
Love this and totally agree ❤❤
That property is gorgeous!! I went on my first ever Hot Air Balloon last year in Colorado. I was terrified of the take-off and it was incredibly smooth!!! The landing can be a bit rough. BEST experience!!! You girls look like you had a fun-filled weekend 😊
I LOVE digging in other people's makeup bags and seeing what they use!
Bought the Zara top over the weekend and it just came yesterday and can confirm it is the most beautiful shade of pink!!!! 🖤🖤🖤
Ugh yesss so glad that you got it hehee the pink is amazing!! 😍💖
amazing vlog, so feel-good. Thank you xxx
Putting Bozeman on my travel wishlist. Looks glorious! What was the name of that vintage shop you stopped at? It's absolutely adorable!!! The adult female friendship chat got me in the feels. You are so fortunate to have such wonderfully genuine friends! At 39, I don't really have any friends. Sure, I've met new people and made great conversation, but after that it's the closer connection and doing more things together that never happens and it's so sad. A gals trip or even just meeting for coffee would definitely warm my soul. Thanks for sharing your trip with us! ♥
The vintage shop is Rare Bird Vintage (I'm from Bozeman so I recognized it!)! It's wonderful!
@@arenaissancewoman20 Thank you so much!
I have a bachelorette trip to Montana in august and this just made me so much more excited! looks like so much fun
I’m old enough for the Lincoln Logs reference (52yo)! And I LOL with the comment “I wish their were cup holders” when you were getting ready to horseback ride!
We just got back from Montana! My husband and I have been there twice and wanted to take the kids. We visited Bozeman, Missoula, Livingston(Paradise Valley) and Butte. Love the shops… jewelry, fly fishing, food and drinks. We’ve been looking at property out there! We love it so much and now we have the kids approval. Hah! TY for the
video 😍❤
What an amazing trip to do with the family, they must have been so thrilled!! To have property there would be a DREAM I am manifesting this for you 😍😍🤧☀️✨
So loved this trip! I loved playing with Lincoln Logs as a kid! Watching this trip brought back so much memories from my childhood.
17:15 your makeup is always so beautiful!! Such beautiful features
Looked like the best trip 🩷
YES TO LINCOLN LOGS. My brother and I would have whole towns made with those, Legos, and Brio trains!
What an interesting vlog so happy you are having a great time!!!Kisses from Greece!!!
I’m so lucky to have found good friends throughout my life! My best friend growing up I still talk to, I meet her when we were 7 years old ( 42 years ago )! In two weeks I’m going out for dinner with my high school friend group and we meet 33 years ago. I have some friends that I have meet through work and I treasure them all ♥️.
Such a beautiful place. So much fun. I grew up like you. Wanting to stay in one place and have friends. 13 different schools…3 in grade 5. Divorced parents etc. I’ve have great friends now and for a long time. It’s awesome. Like you said, moving around…having to adapt, make new friends, even for a short time afforded me with some great career skills. Awesome vid. Thank you for sharing. ❤❤❤. Congrats to Ellie May.
The fly fishing crocs and bass pro hat was actually so cute 😂
Hahaa I was trying to blend in, do you think they noticed 😂
Yeah probably 😂 the whole outfit was such a vibe I loved it!
Thanks so much for sharing. Love a lot of nature in a vlog best.
Love that you're on a different time. Just in time for a bedtime watch! ❤ Love ya lady!
Haven’t even finished the video yet, but it’s so crazy to me that you were just in Montana. I moved here in January! I’ve been watching your videos since you were in university.
I go fly-fishing with my boyfriend (we live in CO) and it's so fun! Very nice to be out in neature and not focus on anything other than that :)
Can't believe you know Lincoln logs at your age! I'm 62 so of course I know them!
Allana, you have that cowgirl dance DOWN !!! LOL love you all the way from TEXAS. 👑✝️❤️🙏
Well I intended to watch this with my breakfast and morning coffee...but instead I spilled my coffee all over the floor so I watched this while cleaning said coffee. Not quite what I had in mind but honestly, it was giving off the chaotic energy that we live for here, so it felt appropriate all the same 😂
I also say linkin log cabins!!! lol. Also I value my female friendships so much. And they are different groups, different “levels” of friendship, our relationships are all different ❤ also… I can’t imagine going to three different high schools my senior year!!! I literally went to the same school K-12
Thanks for sharing these precious moments with us! 🥹 omg the hot balloon ride, it’s on my bucket list since forever
It was the Rocking R Bar, so fun I have the hoodie! 🐎
it's soooo beautiful!! and where are Erin's jeans from - when you're outside on the porch?? They are the coolest pair with the seams on the knees??! 🤍
Okay I'm obsessed with your pal esp her JACKET
talk about a girl squad 🤍🤍you girls are stunninggg! New Romantics needs to be playing in the background!
So fun to see my home through your lense
Also I'm guessing the bar you went to was the Rockin' R Bar
We had a similar youth Allana! I have had same feelings as you. You r so lucky to have these different groups though!
Thank you so much for sharing this about friendships. As someone who moved around a lot, how did you maintain those friendships overtime? Are you naturally extroverted? Do you text/call a lot?
Link-n-Logs are a classic!! 🙌🏠
THE IRISH JIG sent me hahahaha
The hot sauces at Storm Castle are soooo good. They make them in house. Hope you enjoyed my home!
I'm early today, morning to you too ❣️
Montana looks so beautiful!! What a fun trip ⛰️🤠
I can’t BELIEVE that people don’t know what lincoln logs are! Haha such a core childhood memory
Whoa, I watch a horsey channel out of Montana (The Clever Cowgirl) and feel like my CZcams worlds just collided! She used to work at fancy dude ranches and now rehabs at-risk horses. Hot air balloons were floating past her pastures in a recent video! That looked like quite the memorable trip :).
I’m a Brit who has been lucky enough to spend time at a ranch in Montana, this vlog makes me want to go back 😊 x
Female friendships are magical ❤ 🪄
Girl how on earth are you so chilled flying above the trees like that 😂😂
You’re not alone: I know of, had, and played with Lincoln Logs.
I guess being from Montana, I think it’s hilarious that people want to visit it when I was so desperate to leave and go literally anywhere else in the whole damn world 😂 I’m so happy you had fun! Next time, visit The Pickle Barrel sandwich shop!
I’m screaming you look like such a Montana girl with that bass pro hat and waders ❤ from Missoula, MT
I live in the city where the international hot air balloon fiesta is and it is VERY normal to have a hot air balloon come down on the highway or some other random place. one was landing LITERALLY over my house a while back 😂
Ah!! We live in Butte! Welcome to Montana 🏔️
Hi, I'd love to visit Montana 😍❤️🐎🦋🌷!
Take care ❤️ ❤.
Happy bachelorette party to you Ellie's 🥳🥳❤️❤️!
Yes to the pink shirt! (so you also don't really believe you were an Autumn after all ;-)
CC=cubic centimeter. Which is the same as a milli-liter. So units of filler! Looove Lincoln logs
I think you can only take 1 or two close friends from my childhood.. the rest I have met as an Adult, because we are changing all the time, gr8 vlog .. Thank you ❤😊
Can you share where your sunglasses are from 😊
Allana, you’re simply the BEST 🩷💕💞💓💗
Not me worried for Allana's wedding rings the whole time watching these activities.
