Thank you so much Lauren, you're too sweet!

Hey, girl! I’m FL born and raised. I still live here and I highly recommend checking out the St. Pete area for your shoots. I think you’ll absolutely love it - it seems like it would be a good fit for what you’re looking for (beach town, gyms, etc.). Congrats on moving back home!!! You guys are going to continue to do amazing things.

Also... thought this was going to be an engagement announcement 😂

Literally just moved to help my mental health (like I’m watching this as I unpack boxes haha) and as stressful as it was to arrange everything, I know I made the right decision and I feel 1000% happier already! So excited for you both and thank you for being so authentic and real! 💙

I'm from New York as well, a little over an hour from the city! My county was one or two over from Westchester, so it's really cool to know you're from there too! Right now I'm halfway across the country for school and I can definitely relate to feeling homesick, struggling with my mental health, and not realizing what you had until it's gone. But your channel is really helping me and I'm happy you're taking this step to improve your life!

So excited for you!! Having my whole family be from right outside of NY, I know that no other place compares to it. I think this move is going to be a great change. I struggle with being away from family for too long as well and being closer to them makes me the happiest. So do whatever makes you happiest because that’s what the most important thing is at the end of the day! Best of luck to you guys🥳

So happy for you!! Mental health is so important! Sounds like you’ll be 100000x happier which is so good to hear. Thank you for always being so open and sharing! Love ya❤️

FL born and raised, I highly recommend the St. Pete/Clearwater area!

Bummed you’re moving out of Boulder - it was so fun to watch someone who was so close. BUT I will always love watching your videos and your products have honestly changed my life so I wish you both so much luck in the move!!

I just finished my four years of college in Boulder and I can definitely relate to a lot of what you are saying. The whole four years I was at CU, I LOVED Boulder, but literally the day I graduated, I looked around me and was just like "wow...I'm ready to get out of here". Sometimes places just aren't a good fit or you grow out of it or your needs change! I'm happy for you that you are gonna move and I hope it makes you happier

💗 Everyone is different. Thats okay. I just was telling my significant other I could not imagine somewhere without mountains and love Wyoming and Colorado! However, I love my east coast family. 😍

Yay!I’m so happy for you guys 💕 Thanks for all the work you guys do for content and for us, but definitely always take care of yourselves 💕

YAY!!! So happy y’all are doing what’s best for you. Excited for what’s to come ❤️

Congrats girly! All great things are coming your way! Beyond excited for the new things coming

Literally so proud of y’all for following your path! I’ve moved back and forth places, and no where is like home with family & friends. ❤️ best of luck in New York!

Yay! So excited for you guys! I would love to see more full days of eating those are my fav!!!! Day in the life type videos but also maybe a “great ready with me” also 😊😊

Hey Mari! Thank you for sharing. THANK YOU for being sooooo honest about your business, lifestyle, and the whole BTS situation.

My husband and I left Boulder in June and what you are describing is exactly how we felt! We lived there for 2 years and just felt isolated. Happy for you and your decision!

So happy that you and Greg are doing what makes you happy and being so open about your struggles! So excited to watch y'alls journey and what will be next!

Good for you!! Living away from family is so hard. I had the same problem with missing culture when we lived in Jacksonville, North Carolina. Once you’re home and settled, PLEASE do a video with restaurant recommendations in NYC for when we travel there!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

I felt like I was listening to myself for a bit in this video! I’m looking to move back home to Chicago late next year for similar reasons - I miss my family sooo much and just having familiarity, whether it’s friends or your fav places to eat. Big cities just have so much more potential and excitement for younger people starting their careers or building them up. I’ve actually moved a few times for school and personal reasons, so I’ve lived in both Tampa, FL and Las Vegas, NV. You never appreciate home until you’re gone! Tampa is a really cool community that is close to tons of great beaches - I would definitely recommend checking out the area for your trip! Super excited for you guys & your move 🙌🏽

I would recommend Clearwater or St Petersburg/Tampa! Clearwater is the #1 beach in the US but St Pete and Tampa have that culture, lots to do, lots of young professionals, lots of Co-working spaces and places where you can go get interesting food and work at the same time

I’m from Fishkill, NY. Just about an hour and 20 minutes north of the city. Beacon is about 15 minutes from me and is an incredible town that is doing really well right now, completely gentrified, and a very quick jump to manhattan. It’s calm and peaceful but always a ton to do and so beautiful all times of the year. Good luck and so happy you’ll be in New York again, there’s really no where else like it - born and raised 🙋🏻‍♀️💞

Welcome back! I would highly recommend looking around the amazing prospect park- Clinton hill, park slope etc.Its an amazing park, laid back vibe but youthful and fun, easy commute to Manhattan and Park is huge and perfect for dogs

So excited for you guys!! Mental health is so important and I love that you shed so much light on this topic. Do what's best for you both!! Thank you for always being such an inspiration. Love you!

So excited for you! I went through this exact situation. I'm from Upstate NY and moved to Charlotte NC. I stayed for 5years and developed terrible depression. I didn't feel I fit in anywhere, went through multiple groups of friends and just ended up missing my family and friends from home. I stayed probably 2 years longer than I should have (fear of judgement and looking like I "failed" even though that wasn't the case) but my life and mental health have improved tenfold since being back. So anyone considering making that move back home don't be afraid, if it feels right do it! So happy for you guys!

I'm so glad you're doing something proactive to improve your mental health. There's nothing wrong with trying something and then switching up the game plan if it doesn't work like you thought it would, at least you gave it a shot (I wish more understood that). I love NY, I take any excuse I can to go! Hope to live there one day too, maybe after I finish up college. I actually live in Florida, more so the Orlando area (so not a great beach town lol), but my dad lived in St. Petersburg for work for awhile and I remember when I would visit it was really nice! Could be a spot for you to look into.

Hey!! I was born & raised up north in Maryland with all my family and friends. My boyfriend got promoted through work & it brought us down here to Florida about 4yrs ago. We now live in Coral Springs (20mins North of Ft. Lauderdale) & I love it down here. Definitely miss friends and family but I travel up there for work often & they visit down here (as well as his parents retiring/moving down here in a year!) I love to be outside and lots of beaches, food, culture, live music, entrepreneurs - you name it! Simply based on what I have seen & know, I would suggest the areas near Boca Raton, Delray Beach, West Palm Beach, Boynton Beach, & Jupiter - those areas of south FL are absolutely beautiful with lots to do and I think you’d enjoy a few weeks there. Also lots of puppy friendly places 😊🐶💕 Best of luck!!

💕💕 Love You Mari. Do what is best for you, Greg, & your companies!!

Yessss! I am so excited for you guys. Sounds like NY will be so good for you two (three??), especially with your companies and overall mental health. Excited to be supporting along for the ride

Jupiter, FL is exactly what you guys need! Not big at all, beautiful and private beaches and lots and lots of health food shopping and gyms!!

Madison Bonneville agreed! I love Jupiter. I lived in Stuart/Jensen and we loved going there

Diversity is such an important deciding factor when choosing a place to live. I love that you think the same way!

I have bought all three of your guides and have been following you for awhile now! I’m actually from New Hampshire and moved to Fort Collins, CO and I understand everything you’re saying. NH isn’t NY exactly but I miss the ocean, sushi, and things back home too! But so happy for you! You gotta make yourself happy :)

I suggest looking in the Tampa/St.Pete/Clearwater part of Florida for your trip!

just moved back to ny to be with family after living out west. I already feel so happy and more emotionally stable! ny is the best! ❤️

I feel you. I live in Boulder and am from NYC. My parents moved me here during HS (I was NOT happy). All of the things you said you don't like about Boulder I feel daily. I still think about moving back to New York fairly regularly. I am glad I saw this video, it's validating of my experience here as I feel like everyone around me likes it to much more than I do. Good luck on your journey!

I know how you feel. I used to live in NYC and I moved to PA about 5 years ago and I still don’t feel home here. Whenever I visit NYC, I feel as though I’ve come back to home!!! My mood overall changes and I’m more happier.

Very happy for you both. Being close to family is so comforting, and it seems clear that family is super important to you. Good luck with the transition and move, and I can’t wait to see all of you’re new content!

Thank you for being so real, authentic and honest with your situation!! Im so glad you’re following what’s best and moving to where your heart is pulling you. I also think it’s really valid about feeling disconnected in a less diverse city. So happy for you two and happy to be following your journey!

St pete! Everything is dog friendly there and even have dedicated pet spots such as paws and rec and Pinellas Ale Works (paw) brewery!

New York? Also ily Mari! You’re such a role model and an amazing advocate for mental wellness!!

Florida girl here!!! Def check out St Pete. Such a pretty area with lots to do nearby and very dog friendly :)

I heard you say Long Island and my got a huge smile!! Regardless you will be in the area so exciting! Happy for you guys making healthy moves when needed.

Prayers for you! God bless you! Cheers to your new (or refound) journey! Keep shining! New York is blessed to have you and watch you "Bloom" there! Love you so much Mari! As a human.. and I relate so much to you! Thank you for being so open always! ❤💪💝🤗

Suggestion for Florida!! I just moved to Saint Petersburg and I love it! Super cute beach town! You can get to the beaches in 20 minutes and there are tons of gyms around here! LA fitness is my personal favorite, large gym with everything you need, (I know because I use your guides). St Pete is like a hidden gem, it’s growing but it’s so unique! It is definitely culturally diverse, and very economically friendly! On top of all these things there is so much to do here, restaurants, bars, and shops located so close. Markets every Saturday morning, food truck events. As you can tell I love it here. Small city with a big city feel, you can also cross over the bridge and get to downtown Tampa in about 25 minutes which has a ton of stuff as well! Hope you consider it! You’re awesome, so glad to hear about the NY move!

Thanks for sharing! I moved away from Wisconsin where I was born and raised with my husband to Kansas City. Although I have a few family members here it has been difficult. I miss so much about Wisco but feel like it’s not the right place for us to go back to. And we feel like Kansas City isn’t where we want to be for much longer either. It can be frustrating so I’m super happy for you that you’re making the move!! Safe travels

So happy you’re doing what’s best for you! Wishing you, Greg, and Lulu the best of luck!! ❤️

Yay!! 😁 I’m from Long Island Born and raised And NY is the perfect place to increase your platform and develop a strong business. There’s always so much todo and see and very diverse. Sushi 🍣 is amazing duh! Lol welcome home 🏡 btw just ordered the bloom protein powder and mango tango preworkout sooo pumped to try it!!💪🏻 💕

9:31 Oh my husband is from Westchester too! Rye Brook. We lived there and then New Canaan, CT for years before we moved to Austin for easier living. But if you have family, definitely be with them! Family is the BEST when you're lucky enough to have it. Oh and lack of cultural diversity is one of the MAJOR reasons we didn't move to Boulder. It's a HUGE deal for me! Good luck! Y'all are totally doing the right thing!

Yes girl you need to be close to your tribe!!!! So happy for you! Everything will work out and be okay❤️

I completely understand where you are coming from. I moved out to Arizona to start my new life while my family is all back in Illinois. I have been missing my family and pets like crazy. Thankfully my parents will be moving to Nevada soon to persue a life long dream of theirs, and we will be a couple hour car ride away. Good luck with your move, and I love watching you become more and more of an inspiration to people!

Thank you for sharing this, Mari! It is very refreshing and important to see reality checks and not just picture perfect instagram posts. You're an inspiration. 💜

Woohoo so excited for you & the move! Never apologize for putting yourself first😊 this will be great for you!

YES! So happy for you! I also hope you do meet ups/classes/ bc my life would be made 😭 I live 30 mins outside the city in NJ and I agree, there is nothing like it!❤️

OMG YAY! So happy for you guys and your decision to move back to NY!!! 🎉

the raw energy in this vid just leaves me in awe 🥺🖤 so proud to watch u ~bloom~

You and Greg are nothing but inspiring. Thanks for sharing so much..the good and bad the hard and the fun. Good luck 💓 I would literally help you guys move if I could!!

WHY ARE YOU SO CUTE

I totally agree with you on Boulder! I lived in Colorado for a year (Fort Collins) and while I miss the weather being back in Minnesota, there’s nothing there. The mountains are beautiful, but other places are more diverse, the food is better elsewhere and there is not many things to do in CO if you can’t live your life outside.

I would say you are moving to the west coast!! Beautiful, and so many things to do!

Welcome back to NY !! I have lived on Long Island all my life and I love it ... I live on the the south shore about 10 mins from the beach which is a great place to visit year round plus the city is about a 30 min drive .. so you get both city and suburbs best of both works . Plus tons of fitness lovers

Also, just visited the Clearwater area in March and loved it. Beautiful beaches. Palm in moving there pro yin the few years!🌴🌴🌊

So happy for you! Excited to see your journey back to New York :)

Yay!!! So excited to see New York City in your vlogs 💗 I miss it so much there and I’m happy to hear you’ll be happier

I CANT WAIT!!

Awww! I'm so glad you made this decision to take care of your mental health! That's amazing! ❤️

Born and Raised in Florida! I am from a small beach town called Destin. Emerald beaches and white powdered sand! It is a must if you are looking for a small beach town with plenty to do!

You’re amazing!! As for Florida, I am a Florida native. You’re best bet as much as I love to meet you, Miami. Orlando is like 45 minutes away from the beach. Miami has so much culture and I’m sure there is good gyms there. It’s a big town down there! And it’s only a few hours from the Keys if you ever wanted to drive down there for a trip!! Good luck with your move!💕

I’m so excited that you’re on a journey to find your happiness!!! #proudofyou

Excited for you to come back to New York!! The west coast of Florida is the perfect place. I went to the University of Tampa. Sarasota, Clearwater beach and Siesta Key are going to be the best places for you, Greg and Lulu! Cannot wait to see Where you guys end up!

SO SO EXCITING!! Happy for your upcoming Journeys and Adventures and what's to come for you Greg Lulu and your business! New York is beautiful in all seasons I have a lot of family up in New York and in the areas that you were going to be looking at Living. Florida is very diverse as well we've been to the Panhandle around the Navarre Beach area and it's beautiful! I know there are a few gyms in the area and more branded gyms in the Destin Fort Walton area. Tampa is very beautiful Clearwater Beach Indian Rocks Shore area as well. Good luck on the long drive stay safe and can't wait to see what's to come! XOXO

Yay! I’m from Long Island and when I discovered your channel last winter and saw some of your LI vlogs, i was sad when I saw you’d just moved lol. Hope to see you around sometime and I hope the move goes smoothly and as stress free as possible 💕

Long Island is our faaavvvoriteee

Your video is great ! I feel your pain, I live far from home and it's so hard without a support system. I wish you and Greg the best. For your next video, let's talk about workout out with your life partner. How do you manage the difference in level, in goals? How do you guys motivate each other, does it create tension when one call the other one out? Cheers.

Ahhhhh so excited for you guys!! I don’t know if this beach town has a good gym, but Siesta Key has beautiful beaches!

Central Florida, gulf coast!!! Highly highly recommend. Great diverse population, gorgeous beaches, lots to do, etc.

you’re doing amazing things!! so excited for you 💕💕

I’m so excited for this video! Watching while I study. 😌

BEEN REFRESHING FOR THE LAST 10 MINS!! So excited for the news! Love you 💕

Oh Mari I'm so glad you guys are doing what works for you ❤ You always show such strength and resilience; you'll land on your feet. Thank you for making such genuine content ❤

My husband and I moved to Idaho, real hard at first but I am so in love. It makes my days amazing! I love this state! You guys would do amazing here, Boise is a legit city, plus amazing hiking and it's one of the fitness capitals of the US. Sooo

Hi Mari! So excited for you! I have also always lived right outside of New York City and couldn’t imagine life without it. I have worked in the nutraceutical/dietary supplement industry for just over three years and was wondering if you guys have any positions open on the Bloom team!? I love everything you have done and what your companies stand for. I would love to be a part of your team.

There's also so much nature in/around new york anyways so you can really have the best of both worlds. good luck with the move, I can't wait to see what's to come with you and greg and the businesses! keep killin it mari, im happy to see you keeping your mental health in check! best wishes

I was born and raised in NY and live in LI now. I honestly hate NY and can’t wait to move! We’re thinking of NC but we have no idea where we want to move. Some place safe, quiet, and slow paced, where we can have a lot of land and privacy. Safe travels and I hope you feel so much better and enjoy your next home so much!

This is a very similar season that my husband and I are in. We got married young and in college. We’ve been living full time in Florida for 2 years. Before when we were here as college students and went home for the entire summer and winter break, it was okay. Now that we are full-time away from our families, ITS SO HARD AND WE HATE IT!!! We graduate in December and moving back to Maine THE DAY AFTER GRADUATION!

Omg. You said it best! My husband and I moved to Golden, CO from Ohio almost 2 years ago. There really is a lack of culture here in terms of diversity, food, architecture, etc. I feel the same way about feeling isolated and far away from family. It’s tough. I’m glad you are making this decision for yourselves. Best of luck. ❤️

When we go to Florida, we stay in Santa Rosa Beach off 30A near Destin. Seaside is also super cute!

Elizabeth Curtis my husband and I go here for our anniversary every year, we love it!

I live in Bergen County, NJ and I totalllly understand not knowing what to have until you leave the area, the NY diversity and culture is unmatchable!! Love NY and hope you do a meet and greet some time when you’re in the area, you’re such an inspiration ❤️❤️

Love! The emotion in your voice made me want to cry for you. I’m so happy that you will be happier 😊

This is so interesting because we just moved to the West Coast from the East Coast and we absolutely love it! The biggest thing I cannot stand about the East Coast and especially around New York City/dc is the congestion and a competitive lifestyle. It really seems like a lot of people there are just not happy because they are either in commute traffic or just really going for the next buck. I totally understand your case because your family there. West Coast is slower living and definitely better suited for family life (and you don’t have kids). I already noticed how schools are less competitive here and more laid-back than the East Coast and we are doing so much better with our kids because we’re not pressured with all the testing. Just food for thought if you have kids in the future. We moved to the Pacific Northwest which if you’re close to the bigger cities then it’s quite awesome when it comes to food :-). We live in Washington but we are very close to Portland. At the end of the day, if you have not made friends where you move to it makes it very hard for you to enjoy the city. I got lucky when we moved and made awesome friends. If I didn’t, then I wouldn’t feel happy.

Sarasota on the gulf is beautiful in the winter. Dog beaches, no waves, crystal clear water, and a constant temperature of 80 degrees. So many gyms, couples your age, great restaurants, parks, and a good mix between city and suburb.

Congrats Queen! You know I

I totally feel you. My husband and I have been In California for 3 years and we are finally moving back home in 2 days! It’s so fun to experience new things but home is home. Also while we have been out here we have driven 8 times back and forth to MS (26 hours each way) because of our German Shepherd lol! Best of luck to y’all! ❤️❤️

Lots of luck to you on your move Mari! There's nothing better than being close to family :)

Congratulations! I live on Long Island and Queens/Brooklyn are the places to be right now

Sarasota/Siesta Key!!!!!! So beautiful. My favorite Florida spot

I live on Long Island and it’s amazing!! Check out Huntington. It’s about an hour from NYC and it has the cutest village with lots of diversity and things to do 😊

Congratulations on the move, support you all the way girly!!

Come to Melbourne, FL! Only an hour south of Orlando. It’s on the east coast, a beach town, and some great gyms! Bonuses: lots of food options from so many cultures AND it’s on the smaller side so you can have a more relaxing experience :)

Clearwater Beach is FANTASTIC!! Very popular area and has a lot of options for gyms and the beach is BEAUTIFUL!

If you want a nice small city feel look in the Brevard County, Melbourne area. It is also only about 45 minutes from Orlando. Tons of fresh water springs driving distances. And no more than a 15 minute drive to the beach 😊

The St. Pete, FL area is great! I grew up closer to Fort Lauderdale and moved here for school 5 years ago and never looked back! Also VERY dog friendly, you can practically take them anywhere here.

That's amazing girl! I've been following you for a couple years now and it seems like this will be a great move for you and Greg. You guys will be able to have kickass content up the wazoo around New York city. 😊 Can't wait to see it!
