    The authenticity of this video is what makes it so interesting. Excellent content!

    Alexis, I really enjoyed this vlog - it’s evident that you put a little something different into it. I particularly enjoyed the voiceovers with your reflections. I found you through your “I followed my dreams for a year” video and this was very reminiscent of that one.
    (I’ve been enjoying your other recent videos, but you shared how you wanted to try changing things up a bit, so I wanted to let you know that it was noticed!)

    I wish more people talked about this too! the weird transition from dancing/performing/moving all the time as a kid to how sedentary our adults lives are is so real

    Great video Alexis…..I do Love your classic intro (the familiarity of hearing the music is like watching your favorite sitcom) but I admittedly enjoyed today’s switch. I think that we enjoy the channel because of you regardless of the content and how it’s presented and I think that stepping away from norms is always good for the soul, so keep it all coming, we dig all of it✌🏽😃✌🏽

    Alexis, that was an excellent video. Please know that you are very talented in the film making, vloging, documentary arena. Continuing to work with someone well-versed in this area will further promote your growth and recognition. My only request is more Bennett footage. He's such a cutie😻💕

    Congratulations on doing this. Don’t kick yourself for not being a morning person. I’m not a night owl, I couldn’t be and believe me I’ve tried, but I understand my body is not that way. Do what is best for you and your body, along with what feels right in the moment, you’ll be good. Love the how the new camera makes your video looks. I do enjoy how the video quality changes every time you do a video. I’ve grown bored with a lot of the content creators I had been watching, but I always look forward to your videos. Keep going, you’re doing good with your channel and by your subscribers.

    I was a dance major in college & didn’t end up continuing that career choice, at some point I dropped off cuz I got a full time job that took so much energy out of me. I am just starting to get back to the gym/yoga classes now after I’d been having body aches and pains. Hearing you talk about your thoughts on it is great! I love hearing your point of view on it. I relate a lot to ur whole background in dance, and honestly also health issues haha. Thanks for ur vids! Hello from Chicago :)

    @LoFrench Před 25 dny

    You put out so much content consistently and it’s all in the same genre so it makes sense you can start to feel burnt out or like it’s monotonous. There’s no shame into looking into an editor even if it’s just for one video a week to help give you more time to brainstorm and put more thought into content planning. Sometimes the time you gain is worth the small cost of outsourcing a little!

    Have you noticed that the things that give you a reaction have formaldehyde in it? It goes under different chemical names, but my best friend had a lot of skin issues until she realized she was allergic and eliminated products with it. It's surprisingly in a lot.

    The not moving thing is tough as you get older. I was a figure skater, then trained long track speed skating. Able to eat like 3000 calories a day. It's a shock to only eat 2000 calories a day as a non skater. Plus how your body changes in shocking ways, plus all the societal expectations about how a woman should look. Ugh. It gets better once you shut out all the external voices and move as you feel good and eat as you're hungry. It's a hard transition I still struggle with 10 years later.

    I completely understand the desire for you to get more intentional with some of your videos. As a creative person you want your projects to utilize your creativity & sometimes doing simple vlogs doesn’t fulfill that.
    It’s ironic though because watching your vlogs is what made me realize that not all my videos have to be so….planned out. Sometimes it’s ok to just film your day, edit it, and let that be that! Lol
    Happy you are listening to that desire though, your content is great either way 💛
