Leaving another comment to say I LOOOVEEE how you see the value in small things! I don't know if you've read The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho (if not, you totally should, it's an amazing Christian allegorical novel!) but one of the big takeaways from that book is that life is made up of small, beautiful moments that we should never take for granted 🥰
This so beautiful 🥺 I have not read that book but now I’m so intrigued! I’ll have to read it for sure. Thanks for mentioning it! 💕💕💕 you’re so right, life is made up of beautiful precious moments ✨
Elsah, God has definitely blessed you with the spiritual gift of Exhortation ❤You do an amazing job encouraging all of us to be who God wants us to be. I always feel so motivated after watching your videos and this one is no exception! Will you be doing more what I eat in a day/week videos? I love those from you, not just because of the meal ideas but also because I love the topics you discuss at the same time :)
Aww thank you so much for your kind words! 💕 I’m so glad you feel that way. That makes me feel so happy to hear 🥹 yes I’m hoping to do a what I eat in a week video soon! Thank you for your constant support it means the world. Have an amazing day and God bless! 🙏🏼
Your video best but something problem with your channel
How do you make your tea?
If it’s my grandmother’s dandelion tea, I just heat water and add it to a glass that has the dried dandelions in it. Then I let it steep. Or sometimes I just use regular tea packets! But weirdly enough I never add anything else to my tea 🤪
Nice vlog
Thanks for watching! 😊
Hope you having a wonderful blessed Friday
Thank you for watching! You as well! ☺️
DAY 4/20 of my go-to recipes as a college student: HEALTHY Brownie Cookies!!! EVERYTHING YOU NEED: -2 cups almond flour -1/2 cup cacao powder -6-7 scoops collagen powder -1/2 tsp baking soda -pinch of salt -1 tsp cinnamon -1/2 tsp vanilla extract -2 eggs -1/2 cup coconut oil (melted) -1/3 cup maple syrup -chocolate chips (measure with the soul) ☺️ INSTRUCTIONS: Preheat oven to 350°F. Add in all the dry ingredients (flour, cacao, collagen, baking soda, & cinnamon) and mix to combine. Next add in the wet ingredients (eggs, vanilla, coconut oil, & maple syrup). Lastly mix in the chocolate chips. Prepare a parchment lined cookie tray. Use 1-2 Tbs batter per cookie. Make sure to press them down since they won’t flatten out on their own. Bake for 10-11 minutes and cool for 15 min. Now you have the most delicious homemade cookies! 🍪 Instagram: @elsahluanyt KZread: Elsah Luan

DAY 3/20 of my go-to college recipes Chicken Fajitas: -6-7 large chicken breasts -your favorite fajita seasoning (I’m using @thespicehouse) -5-6 colored peppers -1 white onion -avocado oil -tortilla wraps (my favorite gluten & grain free wraps @sietefoods) -any toppings you’d like! (Cheese, Guac, lime, salsa, etc.) INSTRUCTIONS: Slice the colored peppers into thin strips and set aside. Cut the onion into 6 wedges. Next slice the chicken into long strips. In a bowl mix the chicken with the fajita seasoning. Add a generous amount of avocado oil to your pan. (I used a cast iron pan). Add the onion in first to infuse the oil. I added 1/2 tsp salt here. Finally add in your peppers. The goal here is to slightly cook the peppers, but we don’t want them to become too soggy. Add water occasionally so the peppers don’t burn. Keep tossing the peppers for about 5 minutes or until they are less crunchy. Remove the peppers from the pan. Now it’s time to cook the chicken. Drizzle avocado oil into the pan and be generous! You don’t want the chicken to stick to the pan. Thoroughly cook the chicken. Finally add the peppers & onion mixture back into the pan and mix to combine. Now it’s time to assemble your dish! I used @sietefoods tortilla wraps and topped mine with shredded cheese, guac, & lime. This was seriously SO yummy! My dad and I love making this quick & easy dish. For college I like to make a big tub of this to have for 2-3 days. If you try out this recipe lmk! 💕
DAY 2/20 of my go-to recipes as a college student! Sweet Potato Fries INGREDIENTS: -4-5 large sweet potatoes -1/4 cup avocado oil (drizzle more if needed) -salt & pepper to taste -1 tsp smoked paprika -(optional) chopped parsley for garnish DIRECTIONS: Preheat oven to 400°F. Chop the sweet potatoes into wedges. Larger wedges will need more cooking time so if you need them done faster, slice them a bit thinner. Drizzle avocado oil. Each piece should be thoroughly coated. Next season with salt, pepper, & paprika. (You could even add garlic powder here)! Mix to combine. Place wedges on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Make sure to evenly space the fries so that each one can get extra crispy! If you pile them on top of each other, they will steam and get soft instead… Bake for 45-55 minutes or until the edges start looking caramelized. Serve with your condiment of choice. Pair this with a veggie and meat and you have a super easy meal! INSTAGRAM: @elsahluanyt KZread: Elsah Luan
This is DAY 1/20 of me sharing with you my go-to recipes as a college student. Make sure to check back in for more recipe inspo! ✨ Banana Mug Cake Ingredients: -1 banana mashed -1 egg -1/8 tsp vanilla -1/8 tsp cinnamon -1/4 cup almond flour -chocolate chips (or blueberries!) -1 tsp coconut oil or butter for greasing -(optional 1-2 scoops collagen for extra protein) Instructions: Mash the banana and whisk in the egg. Add in vanilla, cinnamon, & almond flour. Finally add in your chocolate chips (I love semisweet or dark chocolate). ✨Grease your mug or bowl with butter or coconut oil! You can cook this in the microwave, but I’m trying to utilize the oven more. I bake mine at 375°F for 20-25 minutes depending on the depth of the bowl. Once you do it once you’ll have a better estimation of time for your specific bowl! Literally the easiest dessert or snack! It’s gluten & grain-free, and I have to say that my family loves it so much. If you try this out make sure to tag me! FOLLOW: @elsahluanyt KZread: Elsah Luan
Where’s the recipe???
It’s in the description! It’s so weird cause I just realized that KZread shorts makes it difficult to access the description! I’ll copy and paste it into the comments in case others have the same problem. Thanks for bringing it to my attention! 🤍
Please do you know anyone in Nursing? I would like to learn something from him or her.
I literally love the vibe of your vlogs 💕
Oh my goodness thank you so much 🥹 I appreciate you being here and hope that they are an encouragement to you! Hope you have a wonderful day, friend! ☺️
i was just diagnosed w/SIBO, love your vidoes!
Aw man I’m so sorry to hear that 😞 I hope that you can find a treatment that works for you soon. I know the symptoms are no fun… but thank you so much for watching! It means the world to me ☺️
Which island do you live 😍✨
I actually don’t live on an island 😂 I just tried this makeup since it’s a trend and I love the summer makeup style! But some people do think I look like I’m from an island!!! ❤️
Cute 🥰😂❤️
You wanna b frnds? 🥰
@@aaizahaskan5328 ofc I’m friends with everyone! ☺️
Oh man i got waitlisted. Need a decision before April 20 so i can choose my other options.Baylor stop fking with intl student😂😂
Oh no I’m sorry! Hopefully you can make the right decision soon. I know that must be so stressful 😩😫
It’s so hard, trying to cook for my husband and follow a low fodmap diet. Also have celiac and other IBS and gut issues. The hardest part for me is preparing meals. I can deal with all the fatigue and pain and other issues, I have for so long. It’s nearly impossible to eat out, and my husband doesn’t eat many different things anyways, only beef for meat, (no meat alternatives either). Any ideas? Thanks your story is inspiring for me.
Oh my goodness that sounds so tiring. I’m sorry you have to go through this. So it’s only you that suffers from gut issues, not your husband? That is a struggle that I imagine having if I have a family one day. Yeah I’m right there with you I cannot eat out at all. So if my friends want to go anywhere I always have to pack a meal with me. It does make it so hard to do things… I’m so happy my story could be inspiring for you! That makes me so happy 🥹 Meal ideas are tricky. I usually just stick with meats and veggies. Maybe some sweet potatoes and a healthy dessert. I’m very plain and simple 😂
I love your vibe❤
Aww thanks girl! 💕💕💕 This just puts me in the mood for summer ☀️ It’s almost here!!
You're gorgeous 🤍✨
Thank you so much 🥹 Right back at you!! 🤍 Hope you have a wonderful day ✨
Simple but beautiful ❤️
Aww thank you so much! 🥹💕 Haha yes simple is better for me 😂
@@elsahluan yea😂❤️
I'm glad I'm not the only one who prays to God for help with my attitude sometimes 😅😂 thanks for another encouraging video, Elsah! ❤
Oh my goodness the times I have to do that are far too many to count 😂 It does help me put things in perspective though when I talk to God and tell Him my situation. Thank you so much for watching friend! It means a lot 🥹 May the Lord bless you today 💕 Keep seeking Jesus with all your heart!
Omgosh I knew you were familiar. I was one of the bear shadow girls from today and I recognized you halfway through but didn’t get a chance to say that I’ve watched your videos! You’re a really good violinist!!
Oh my gosh no WAY!!! Will you be back anytime? I totally had planned to say hi and chat with y’all afterwards but our rehearsal kept going 😭 Haha well you got to witness a first play through! it was rough but we did it 😂 Thank you so much 💕💕💕 That is so sweet you’ve watched my videos 🥹 Seriously it means the world! I’m so glad you got to come Bear Shadow! Lmk if you ever have any questions 🤍
Elsah, thank you SO MUCH for your words about negativity 👏🏻 this past weekend I had not one but two breakdowns because I focused on something negative instead of addressing it and giving it to God. Then I dwelt on the fact that I got upset and 🥲 well that wasn't the right thing to do!! Your videos are always so uplifting and encouraging and I want you to know how TRULY appreciated they are. Be blessed!! 🩵💛🩵
I’m so glad it could be an encouragement to you. I know that we all have those days, but thankfully they never last for forever. Yes we gotta keep trusting God! Thank you so much for your sweet words of encouragement 💕 God bless you sweet friend!
I am happy you like our natural extra long stand🤗
Yes! Perfect addition to the room! I’ve had many followers reach out to me saying they love it as much as I do 🤍 Thank you for watching!
SO GOOD!!!!!! Your rants can be so encouraging. You say “ya’ll” now and I love it!! Ps. I love how you mentioned working at the pool haha. ❤
Aww thank you Amber 🥹 Haha the y’all just comes naturally now 😂 Oh yes the pool is my summer happy place!!! Thank you for watching sweet friend 💕 Hope you have a wonderful week!
Another Great Video!
Thank you so much 🥹 Hope it was encouraging for you. Please have a blessed day!
I hope that you had a wonderful blessed Easter Sunday 🐣
You as well! Our God is ALIVE! He conquered death! Thanks for being here friend ☺️
@@elsahluan i did and you're welcome 🙏🏿🙌🏿
Hello! Thanks for making this video!! I really appreciate a lot of the insight and perspective that you give. Personally, I am committed to Baylor, but I am not Christian. Do you think I will be able to find my group and be able to feel included, especially in a Christian school? I do not mind the religion aspect at all - in fact, I am excited to learn about it. I am just worried that I will be excluded from things due to my religion. Thank you!
Of course! I’m so glad it could be helpful to you ☺️ That’s amazing you’re committed to Baylor! It’s a Christian school, but many people here are not Christian. I have several friends who do not identify with the Christian faith, and it is no problem for them to fit at Baylor. That’s great that you’re curious about religion though! College is a fantastic time to dive deep into what you believe and explore that more. In my opinion you won’t feel excluded because there are just SO many clubs/groups/people to choose from! And if you’re ever curious about the Christian faith, literally every Christian group is so happy to talk with anyone more about it. They’re very sweet people ☺️ I wish you all the best in this next chapter of your life 🫶🏼 Thank you so much for watching! God bless! 🤍
You're a force to be reckoned with! Keep pushing boundaries and breaking barriers. You're unstoppable! 💥🚀
Thank you so much for your encouragement 🥹 I hope you have a wonderful day, and thanks for being here!
I’ve used your dorm videos to help my senior have ideas of what to have for her dorm in September thanks again for the great videos and great advice
Aww that makes me so happy to hear! Wishing your daughter all the best for college ☺️ I know it can be stressful to know what exactly to bring. Thank you so much for watching! 💕💕💕
As a women, what are the benefits that you receive from religion when compared to atheism that makes you wanna believe in that?
That’s a great question! While it’s true that Christianity is a religion, to me it’s less about the “rules” to follow and more about having a personal relationship with Jesus. He loves us so much that He died on the cross (and rose 3 days later) so that our sins can be forgiven. God desires a relationship with everyone of us if we’re willing to surrender our life to Him. Atheism is really bleak if there is no God. Life then seems to lack a sort of purpose. If this life is all there is, then there’s very little hope. For me as a Christian, Jesus is coming back, and so I just want to share this news with everyone I can. That’s where my hope is found! Those who believe in Jesus will be saved. ”If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.“ Romans 10:9 NIV I’ve been pretty open about this on my channel, but I struggled with intense anxiety & depression, as well as a past eating disorder. Jesus was the only thing that got me out of those dark times. All my life He has been right there patiently waiting for me to turn to Him. Now that I have, it’s been the best decision of my life. He’s changed my heart, my desires, and the way I treat people around me. I hope that answers the question! Please lmk if you have any other questions. Thank you so much for being here ☺️
this is what i needed to hear ❤❤i’m starting college in the fall and honestly dont fully know what i wanna do with the rest of my life but thanks for sharing this
I’m so glad this could encourage you! I’ll be praying that you would continue trusting God with your life. It’s not easy, but we can have full confidence that what God has for us will happen! You are so precious to God! So excited for this next chapter of your life ☺️
I do like pen & paper as well, & I still do a paper calendar😊
I love to hear it!!! There’s truly nothing like it ✏️📔!!!
