In life, we all go through issues with our friends and our significant others - it's inevitable. We all have relationship issues we wish we didn't. But even during the toughest times, I always remind myself that I am the most important person in my life, and even though I compromise and sacrifice for people I love, I never want to forget myself. My mom and grandmother always taught me to be independent. Every girl loves to be treated nicely (and deserves to if they're a good person), I love romance and flowers and little thoughtful gifts as much as the next. But something which came to my attention recently is, if you want those flowers and if you feel like those flowers will make you feel better, go buy yourself some flowers - don't wait around for someone else to bring you happiness. If you want that beautiful car or those new shoes, work hard and earn money to buy it for yourself. Taking care and providing for yourself is one of the most powerful things you can do in life, especially as a woman.
Life is absolutely beautiful - focus your time and thoughts on those people who show you that (and forget the rest). Remember that people will come in and out of your life, but the only person who will always be there, is you. Celebrate yourself every single day. Today was just one of those days. The roses look gorgeous, and they're from me to me ♥ I hope this will help anyone who's dealing with or has dealt with something similar in the past. I'm going to be bedridden for the next couple of days but will be back soon with some new content. Love you guys! XOXO

You are amazing love you!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful flowers!

ReplyDeleteAmazing post!!!Love you Annie!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post Annie. And flowers! They look amazing! I emailed you a couple of days ago because i noticed you havent been posting anything but i'm so happy that even through tough times you always find yourself in the end. Its funny i was thinking about that similar idea today too! About if you want something go and get it. I fought through dark times and I'm stronger and happier than ever. We should all shine brightly even on the darkest nights. I love you so much. You are truly amazing!

Great post Annie. Love your optimistic attitude. These are gorgeous flowers =)
ReplyDeleteThis post is so powerful. Thanks Annie for these invaluable words, it surely does feel nice to do something for yourself and treat yourself right :) Being independent as a woman is one of the best feelings - going after what YOU want in life and not letting anyone or anything stop you from achieving your goals. Hope you feel better soon!! Big hugs xx

No sabia que tantas personas se pudieran sentir como yo en este momento y te agradezco infinitamente por recordarme que realmente que lo más importa en la vida es cuidarse uno mismo y no poner a los demás en primer lugar, gracias por hacerme sentir que yo tambien merezco ser importante, espero que te sientas mejor y seguir siendo una fuente de inspiración tan grande como lo eres ahora.

Stay firm gals.. !!! we are strong!!

ReplyDeleteseehaleyblog.blogspot.com
I always appreciate your positive vibes.
ReplyDeleteYou make me want to be more positive instead of focusing on what's wrong lately.
Hope you're doing well <3
Annie this blog really really touched me tonight. I just got done having an emotional conversation with my mom about my on again off again exx boyfriend who she's disliked since day 1. Afterwards I went on my laptop and decided to see if you've posted anything recently. This really hit hard and I will remember your thoughts and wisdom always. It's so true, it's making me realize I need more work on my self esteem than I ever imagined. I need to quit spoiling myself with material things thinking they will make myself feel better. I shall make myself earn the useful things that I really want, and quit settling for crumbs (certain guys) when I deserve the whole piece of the pie(metaphorically speaking). You motivate me to grow more healthy, independent, and less lazy. I admire your motivation and strong positive vibrations very much. Muchos Gracias, Much love from Fla!!! Your the best!

Thank you so much for your inspiring post...I just broke up with my boyfriend of 9.5 years and I was thinking to myself "now who will buy me flowers?" You've just proven that I can buy them myself!! You've made my healing process a little easier, thank you Annie!
ReplyDeleteYou deserve to be happy! I like to read your blog .. and always I keep in mind your advice!

i feel like i got flowers today just looking at all thes pics--thanks!! much love!
ReplyDeleteAnnie, a girl with your spirit and beauty should probably never be under the weather. May this uncomfortable times make you stronger and wiser. You have yourself, and that's probably all you need. I learned that from an abusive relationship; which helped me realize how valuable I am. After a storm there always a rainbow.. and liberation :)
ReplyDeletethank you, thank you for this amazing post, I needed it :) i'm dealing with something similar... i'm gonna read over and over. <3 hope you feel better soon :)) send u lots of love..
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon Annie!
ReplyDeleteThe flowers look beautiful, and this post is very inspirational.
Love Ruby xox
Such an inspirational post. I really appreciate your outlook on life. I have been going through some hard times in life lately and have had to remind myself that sometimes you need to let go of people that bring out the negatives in your life and start focusing more on yourself and be positive. Thank you Annie for all the amazing videos and blog posts! :)
ReplyDeleteBeautifully put!! Very inspiring for the young ladies who watch you. This lets us now you are very much human and you dont portray someone who is not real. You are well grounded. Those amazing women in your life taught you well! ;) I pray you have a speedy recovery. Xoxo
ReplyDeleteExactly what i needed to read this morning, i am so grateful i found your channel& your blog, your are such an inspiration and you brighten my day everytime i see some new content from you. Being independant was one of my big problem lately, when you love someone sometimes you tend to loose yourself in what that person wants and expects from you and you forget who you really are. Sending you tons of love and positive vibes Annie, hope you will be well very soon
ReplyDeleteHugs from Paris,

It so true we as woman need to do for ourselve. Love the flowers I always during spring and summer purchase flowers is like an accessorie for my home
ReplyDeletesometimes I buy it at the market it puts a smile in my face. I hope you feel better soon and back to yourself ♥♥♥
Annie what a lovely message this post has!! i agree with everything you said!! get yourself flowers and whatever else you want! very refreshing to see a bloger be so inspirational and independent!! Powerful women are a great thing!!! Xxx
ReplyDeleteexactly that is what I thought about these days... so nice to hear it from you, too. you are always inspring for me :)
ReplyDeletea great post. towards the end of my relationship I forgot to put myself first. I now I have to pick up the pieces - a long and painful process. you are absolutely right. we have to make ourselves happy. everything else will follow!
ReplyDeleteGreat post, Annie! I think everyone has times in their lives when they realize that you cannot completely rely on anyone else in life to make you happy- it has to come from within! Even though it is wonderful to have loving relationships, friendships, family, and support, you are the only one who can truly create your own happiness. It makes me so happy you understand this, because that is not just independence, that is wisdom. :) xoxo
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Pics!!! I love this!!!

Annie I really love this post! You are so true, we have to believe we are responsible for our own happiness. We all have our down days, the most important thing is to realize you are not alone and that you can always reach out to someone for support. I am not quite sure what you are going through, but I hope that you feel better soon. Stay positive and the steps you have taken ie. taking care of yourself physically, staying positive etc. will help you get through the hump. Much love from Canada! xo
ReplyDeleteAnnie,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this post - I'm so glad I came across this. As young women we often forget that we are in control our happiness and we shouldn't make this anyone else's job!!! You are so inspirational :)
Get better soon,

I usually go to your channel when I need some motivation. But this time it is you who needs it. It is unfair to see someone like you not feeling so good. You have such an AMAZING spirtit! You are not only beautiful on the outside but on the inside as well. Dont ever let anyone bring you down. You deserve ONLY the best!
ReplyDeleteby the way I love watching your videos. I don't follow anyone else because it seems a waste of time. But I like yours because even though you are 3 years younger than me you are mature and never come off as conceited. You always show humility and a genuine interest to help us women feel better. I wish you the best in life Annie!

Beautiful flowers! I'm the same, I always put some sort of make up on. The process of applying it makes me feel and look better. Hope you'll feel better soon :)
ReplyDeleteI lived in Portland, OR, for a few months by myself. I loved seeing all the flower stands out and so every week, I bought myself some flowers. I didn't want to be the only living thing in my apartment. White roses are my favorite- nice choices there, Annie! Hope you get better soon!
ReplyDeleteI love this post - so important to take care of yourself! Fully agree, if you want flowers, just buy them and spoil yourself <3
ReplyDeleteDear Annie,
ReplyDeleteYou are the most independent woman I know. You are what we all here in your blog aspire to be like. I just want to say that even though you are under the weather, you are strong! Strong and beautiful and intelligent and no matter what happens you will always come back on top! Your blog was so inspiring I got tears in my eyes because this is one of the hardest lessons woman have to learn. Every one helps build who we are, but ultimately we are our best architect Annie. Sending you get well hugs!
From me to you
P.S I will be sending myself flowers very soon.
one of the best posts you've ever written!!

Hey Annie !
ReplyDeleteThe more I watch your videos and read your articles the better I feel ! Not that I'm having a hard time or anything but I just don't feel motivated to do anything at all so I often eat my feelings or lay under my blanket for like 4 hours which I know isn't that good... Anyways thanks to you I tend to get up and take care of myself by exercising or drinking water or even listening to my favorite music, and it's all because your words give so much motivation and confidence.
I think I went a little off subjet or something but this is just to remind you that you're the best !
I wish you will feel better soon and that you'll fix all your issues.
xoxo
Thank you
ReplyDeleteAnnie, go for a run and you will feel much better!!! :) I always do that when I am sad, unhappy, angry, etc.
ReplyDeleteYou are beautiful and strong, you inspire millions of people (me included), hope you'll feel better soon!!
I am going to NY in like 3 weeks for a trip, and I want to eat healthy (raw foods), but I'll be in a hotel!! So, do you know good places where I can eat good, because I don't want to eat hamburgers and stuff like that ahah ;) Or maybe, when you feel better, can you do a video or a blog post on that please ?? It would be amazing!! :D
Lots of hugs and kisses from Geneva!!

Annie,
ReplyDeleteDon't let anyone get you down, ever. You are worth so much more than any person who makes you feel bad (in any way)!
You have inspired me with your videos and blog posts so so much! And it is VERY hard to impress me, believe me, but you did it! And i started to take more care of my self and get fit and healthier again. You reminded me of who i truly am!
youre inspiration !!
ReplyDeleteYou're absolutely right about women and our independence, I could not agree more. I always tell myself to depend on no one else but Me, real happiness comes from within, not from anybody else.
ReplyDeleteThough I would like to take the opportunity to point out that sharing joy, mutual affections, or even sadness with people around us is one of the best things in life, as you always say, we should surround ourselves with people that love and cherish us, not those who simply tolerate us.
Treat ourselves right, because if we won't even do that for ourselves, no one else will.
Don't give in just yet, there are beautiful things lying ahead of you Annie!
Get well soon <3
Love,
Karen

ReplyDeleteI am not going to lie, I usually only look at the photos on your blog without really paying any attention to the text. But today was different. I told myself to go ahead and read what you had to say; and sure enough it touched me. I am going through a tough time right now and i just wanted to say thank you! For letting me know I am not the only one with a bumpy road ahead of me. And reminding me that one of the most import things in life is to love myself and that we create our own happiness. Thanks Annie. :)

ReplyDeleteCould you make a video "draw my life" please??? it would be amazing, we could know you a little more :)

Hey! I was just wondering, do you still do your at-home - facial routine? Do you think you could like make a video on what you do before you go to bed, like nightly skincare routine. I know you postet you favorite skincare products, but can you like go through it one more time, like witch one you use every night. And aslso a video on what you do on a weekly basis, like witch days do you do your honnie mask, at witch days do you do your (if you still do it) at home facial - routine. This was long and not very easy to understand, but I hope you understand and hope you respond to this on you youtube-channel. Thank you very much! I really love your blog and youtube channel, it has really helped me and inspiered me a lot.
ReplyDeleteAnnie - you are so incredibly inspiring. Hoping that you will have a truly restful week!
