Al you guys we are in Madrid I cannot
believe it and I get to bring you with
me I'm so excited so we're in Madrid
then we're visiting Barcelona and then
Portugal and we'll see whatever
Adventures come up I just got in front
Dubai yesterday and it is beautiful here
I have so many fun things planned for
today so the first part of this trip
will be a solo trip which you girls know
I love and then I'll be reuniting with
my little sister and one of my best
girlfriends from back home in Barcelona
and then Portugal so I haven't seen them
since moving to Dubai I I miss them so
so much so this trip is extra special
it'll be a solo trip turn girls
trip and it's about 10:00 a.m. right now
we're going to go get some breakfast you
can probably guess where we're going if
you've been on this channel for a while
you already know and then I cannot wait
to go and explore Madrid with you the
word that comes to mind for for Madrid
is zesty so I I just got in yesterday
and I explored a little bit and what I
feel is Madrid is so alive it's so happy
and free I'm really excited to be here
so let's go get some breakfast and then
start today's
adventure this is called Grand
via this is like the central spot in
Madrid where all the shops all the
restaurants are and it kind of feels
like New York that's the vibe that I'm
getting so it's beautiful
[Music]
it's definitely a culture shock being in
Madrid compared to Dubai because Dubai
is very very strict and I love how safe
and how clean it is because of that for
example you're not allowed to flip
people off in public in Dubai also PDA
is not allowed and one big difference
that I noticed here and I think it's so
beautiful is that people are so
affectionate there's so much love here
in Spain and even just on the trains
like walking people are kissing and
they're just in their own love Bubble
and I think that's so beautiful another
thing that I love is that most people
walk everywhere here it's such a
walkable City and I I wish that the US
and Dubai was like that I just feel so
healthy I get the sun in I get to meet
new people and it feels so uh just happy
and very very free Madrid kind of feels
like a mix of Venice Beach and New York
and one I love it it's so cool tonight
we're actually going to go and see a
show I'm so excited I'm going to keep it
a mystery to what the show is but when
you see it you'll understand the
buildings and the architecture here I
will never get over it look how stunning
this
is someone almost just got hit I'm
trying to take some cute pictures out
here but why am I
nervous okay here's a better look at the
outfit I'm going to take some cute
Instagram content if you see the
Instagram content you know the moment
that this is happening I was feeling
very
shy an older woman that I really look up
to gave me the best advice for traveling
she said the best thing that you can do
when you travel is to get lost she goes
that is when you will find the best
hidden gems and it's true like this
random street look how beautiful it is
and I'm doing so much inner work on this
trip by not planning I I'm the oldest
daughter so of course it's in my nature
to plan and structure everything found
myself trying to write out what I was
going to do every day and I had to
literally say Alexis stop just go with
the flow and just let the day take you
whever it's going to take you so it's
feeling like that rubber band in my
Consciousness is just stretching so much
and I love it and also when I reunite
with my little sister that's going to
help because she's so go with the flow
I'm like Olivia where are we staying in
Barcelona where's our hotel in Airbnb
she's like I don't know we'll get it as
it gets closer I'm like okay just
breathe if you're the oldest daughter
you know the
[Music]
struggle we just finished breakfast and
now we are headed to the Royal Palace
I'm so excited to see this place I've
heard that it's gorgeous I was looking
at my Instagram messages during
breakfast my girls I did not realize how
many of you live here in Spain I love
reading your messages hey Alexis if you
need a friend to go to breakfast with
I'm here hey Alexis you're in my home
welcome my girls I love you and I
appreciate you so much I feel like I
have so many sisters all around the
world because of you and it's just so
nice I'm so grateful to be in your home
it is absolutely beautiful here in Spain
and I hope that I get to see some of you
honestly it might take me an hour to get
there because I keep stopping to look at
all these cute shops I found this place
look how cute it is and it smells so
good oh the place that we are going to
later this afternoon after the Royal
Palace I've been dying to go here it's a
place called marado San Miguel which I
believe it's the most popular Market in
Grand via in Madrid I went in yesterday
and it's like a beautiful chaos in there
there is fresh meat there's fresh fruit
and there's paa or paa the taxi driver
told me how to say it correctly so I'm
really excited to try it and take you
with me and to taste everything I don't
know if I told you this but before I
started the feminine glow and celista
wear I used to work in a Spanish
restaurant I learned so much about the
culture and the food there I lots of paa
all the time so I'm really excited to
actually be in Spain and to try it fresh
if my old boss could see this he would
probably be so jealous I appreciated
that job but I was so ready to leave I
did not like having a box I did not like
working at that job so that really
inspired me to start my YouTube channel
and my two businesses so East to wear
and The Feminine glow and I was working
there 2 years ago I literally quit It 2
years ago in
July so or August maybe so I can't
believe where life has taken me God is
so good and I feel so blessed that it's
a Friday right now and I get to be in
Madrid I thank God every day because
life was not like this before I've
worked really hard on my businesses and
God is good you ladies are so good so
I'm so grateful some I still cannot
believe that this is real life I've
talked about this this with a few of my
girls in my business course Divine and
aligned that it never really hits you
when you're living your dream life like
you don't wake up one day and think oh
like I'm traveling and I get to be
financially free thank you God and I get
to live in my dream City it never fully
hits you so every day it still feels
like
hi good how are you thank you
bye people here are so friendly as I was
saying it never really feels like like
this is it but I just have to pray and
remind myself God this is real thank you
the only hard work is letting go of that
old identity because it's going to make
you feel safe it's going to constantly
bring you back to what is familiar but
your dream life is not going to feel
familiar it shouldn't it's too good to
feel familiar so that's my reminder for
you know that your dream life is
possible I never thought that it was I
would be on Pinterest making these
vision boards right like one day but
that day is now and it gets to be now
for you
too I just stopped to grab a water but
something that I think is so interesting
is that the eggs are not refrigerated
here even in Dubai they're in the fridge
same with the us so I thought that was
interesting back to the Royal Palace
this is why it's going to take me an
hour to get there
I love so these don't go together but I
just love them both by themselves I
wanted to show you this is the top
here's the back I have this long cream
satin skirt that'll go so good with this
top and then this skirt I just love it
fits great it's long enough I'm 5'9 so
it's hard to find skirts
honestly and yeah here's another top I'm
trying to love this top because I just
love the color but the fit
maybe if I tie it like
this all right all of this was about
$55 and I'm shocked because it feels
like similar quality to Brandy Melville
Brandy Melville this would have been
150 also these clothes are made in Italy
they are so soft and
beautiful we are currently in for theou
this is a plaza here in Madrid and it's
so popular as you can see there's a lot
of shops and rest restaurant and the
energy is very very high over here one
of my girlfriends that lives over here
she says Alexis you have to come and
visit po the delou plaza mayor which
we'll go to in a bit while you're here
and I see why it feels like there's a
lot of history here and the buildings
are so pretty I'll just never get over
the buildings in Madrid they're
[Music]
stunning I'm trying to convinced myself
that I don't need any more dresses but
these are just so pretty this is like my
heaven they're just beautiful dresses
[Music]
everywhere that was so beautiful that
was inside the cathedral in Madrid I
don't think I've ever been inside a
Catholic Church I love Jesus so that was
so nice to see the statues of him and
just so much Beauty inside that church
now we're going to the Royal Palace
which I think is next over you know what
I feel like right now I feel like I'm in
a romance movie it feels like I just
want to go and read my romance fantasy
books it feels like I just want to feel
the all of the love that is in Madrid
that's is making me feel you know that
show I think it's called from scratch on
Netflix where there's a couple and it's
their love story and they meet in Italy
that's what it feels like here just so
much love and the energy I'm really just
craving to experience that love and that
romance there's so many beautiful
couples and the energy is very slow
nobody's in a rush everybody is just
going with the flow and living life
that's what a lot of people have told me
here when I sit and eat sometimes I'll
talk to the people people around me it's
just like that here it's very open very
friendly very
windy and what I've learned is slowness
is the way of life being present
community meeting people so it's so nice
here I'm not ready to leave tomorrow
let's go ahead to the Royal Palace now
honestly I'm getting hot it is heating
up but I should not be complaining it's
1110 in Dubai
[Music]
[Music]
we are taking a little detour right now
we are currently inside of an electronic
store because my vlogging camera broke
when I was there at the Royal Palace it
literally blew over when I was trying to
take a video and now the lens won't
connect anymore but you know what that
camera has dropped so many times it has
been needing to get upgraded so today we
get to upgrade it I'm just trying to
look at it in a positive light thank God
they have this store so time to get a
new camera okay we got the camera let's
pray that no more cameras are harmed in
the making of This Vlog the camera that
I got is the Sony Z71 mark too I did
some quick research on Tik Tok and found
that this is the best one I trust my
girls on Tik Tok so much honestly this
is pretty satisfying though oh okay this
is beautiful and it's so much lighter
than my other one so this is what it
looks like we're going to let this baby
charge and go out for a few hours now we

booked this last minute last night and
the show is Aladdin I don't know if I'll

see it as a musical so that's about a
10-minute walk and then after that
