Huh? Wait! Since when Christians can’t do yoga? WTH… Smh people need to
get over it. It’s just a form of fitness! It’s not that serious to let
“religion” rule out what kind of fitness you wanna do. That’s so weird! Do
what you want girl! I love yoga! It’s hard at times but it’s such a get
exercise for the body.
EVERYTHING YOU MAKE LOOKS SO DELICIOUS!!
Oh my gosh your intro literally took up more than half of the video. You
should either do a separate video for your rambles or name this video
“Completely random life update + replies to my recent comments with some
lunch recipes at the end”. I’m not trying to be rude but please just make
your extremely long intro a completely separate video next time because I
don’t really care about yoga or anything that you rambled about in your
intro. I expected to see lunch recipes not an 8 minutes vlog of stuff I
don’t care about.
skip to 7:40 if you actually want to get to the content that the title
suggests
I’m not sure if you’ve started writing out your videos yet.. but it seems a
little scripted. I know you wanted to write them to get your thoughts
together. Honestly, I like it when you’re real & ramble. That’s what makes
you Nikki :)
it makes me mad that people would say that about yoga. Yoga is honestly
incredibly inclusive and even if you go straight to the heart of India they
embrace all religions and beliefs and focus on utilizing yoga to bring
yourself closer to what you believe etc etc
YUMMMM! You always seem to make amazing meals on a daily basis–I need to
be more like you! haha
Could you do some sort of healthy eating video for college kids that live
in the dorms? I’m always struggling to find easy things to make in my room!
Christians can’t do Yoga? Huh? LOL…Love the meals!
My mom always taught me to put veggies and cooked meat on a wooden cutting
board and raw meat on a plastic cutting board. The reason is that the
fibers in the wood grasp and sort of absorb particles in the raw meat and
makes it easier for cross contamination. So technically, using a plastic
cutting board for veggies (like in this video) is perfectly fine, as long
as you don’t mix it up! But just saying wood for veggies and plastic for
meats is an easy way to keep everything nice and clean. Anyways, great
video! That wrap looks delicious :)
7 Mins and 40 secs to get to the food?! Girl all that yapping I almost fell
asleep :/ but it was worth the wait, because the food looks yummy. Gonna
try
Meals begin at 7:36. You’re welcome.
This is not suppose to be a hateful comment, just something I’ve wondered.
Doesn’t the bible say “don’t kill” and yet Christians still kill animals. I
asked this from my religion teacher and she said that she doesn’t know what
it really means so she’s a vegetarian. Can someone explain this to me? Just
curious! I’m not religious myself
Wow, I clicked expecting to see a cute video of recipes and ended up
getting so much more! Thank you for what you had to say about choices and
being aware, Nikki. It was exactly what I needed to hear right now and I
even took the time to write it down in my journal 🙂
I’m a little disheartened to see comments saying that the first 7:40 is
just “irrelevant rambling.” I love how your approach to #howtobehappyjanuary
is an extremely holistic one. It’s not just about what food you consume or
how you work out – it’s about having the right mindset and lifestyle. So
thank you again, Nikki. I am so encouraged by you!
Is anyone here gluten intolerant? My family thinks I might be so we are
going to try and figure it out by experimenting. I can’t eat gluten this
whole week to see if I feel better. Does anyone have any tips for me
considering my whole diet is basically gluten?? Thanks! :)
I worship Satan
I liked what you said about yoga. Just like drumming used to be used by
pagan tribes but we don’t condemn drums in worship bands. Yoga is
stretching. If we just called it stretching people wouldn’t care. If you
aren’t doing yoga for other religions then don’t even worry about it.
You’re awesome. good job.
Today is my birthday, what a nice gift! Perfect timing since I’m back to
school on Monday.
I’m a Christian and its in the ten commandments say that you should not put
any other Gods before GOD.But, I do do yoga but I always dedicate my
practice to GOD and let him know I only see him as GOD (so if any of the
poses are somehow a worship of another religion it was not meant as such)
and when someone wishes me namaste (certain sects believe it to be “I bow
to you, as you are a god”) I smile and say may GOD bless you, back. It’s
not an issue. Yoga has so many health benefits. And the people in yoga
practice are always so happy and lovely, I really cherish my yoga time. :)
Please do an updated skin care routine! I think skin is something that
really controls people’s confidence, although it shouldn’t it’s hard to be
confident when your skin is not doing so well! Struggling with skincare and
would love some help in order to be confident and more happy (: love you
and your videos Nikki!
I just have to say that I’ve never been one that gets actually inspired by
watching health related or life related youtube videos, but you have
changed me. I’ve been seriously depressed about the way I look and my body
for a very long time, and I’ve always struggled with changing it. After
watching this video and your last fitness routine video, my mindset has
completely changed. Thanks to you, instead of just focusing on looking good
and being skinny, I have really realized that I just want to live a
healthier lifestyle. I always feel just so blah all the time, and I really
just want to live a life and make choices that will make me feel lighter
and happier, which will in turn help me feel better about my physical
appearance. Thank you Nikki, for finally allowing me to realize what I
truly want. No one has ever helped me the way you have, and I appreciate
that more than you’ll know.
You are amazing at singing btw
