Your commitment to self growth and understanding when you need to attend to certain mental blocks or issues is beyond admirable. It’s so easy to gloss over stress and keep pushing yourself but it’s also unhealthy. Thanks for reminding us to be present and truly take it one day at a time 💜
"sorry my life is not exciting" no you make me feel safe. ive beeen feeling depressed and all i needed was your video to make me happy. so thank you :)
agree!
in the same thread of, "sorry my life is not exciting"... here's a brighter way of spinning it - u have the space to focus on the most important things to u right now. life is a rollercoaster, u can't always be riding a high. and dare i say, this is one of the best edits yet! i love the style, very cinematic. sing ur victories, even if it's just a hum💓
SAME. I have been feeling low lately & watching your videos makes me feel that I’m okay and that the feeling is only temporary ☺️
omg i thought i was the only one who felt a sense of safety and security when watching her videos. when im going through tough times she helps me so much 🥺💕
Anyone else feeling the Boxing chemistry haha love you Sophia
I was scrolling for this comment lmao. Yay!!!
right ?! 🙈
Haha also was scrolling for this comment 🤭🥰
Haha i was looking for this comment too! They look lowkey cute together 😝
LMAO - Not that I was smiling the entire time and looked him up on IG as if I was one of her girlfriends for HER!! They lowkey cute
watching Sophie feels like such a breath of fresh air!!! it’s like watching your homegirl prosper from the sidelines
Yesss exactly 😭💕
one of my favorite pieces of advice: if u cannot handle life right now... take it day by day, if u cannot do that; take it hour by hour; minute by minute; breath by breath; blink by blink; second by second... break it down to the smallest dose u can handle & do the best version of ur day u can!!
girl you should be soooo proud. you are really showing up for yourself. Going and buying some good food, making a delicious meal, boxing, crossfit, taking time to journal. I hope you truly realise that, I feel proud of you x
Cinematography is epic. You get better every day! Loved the work out montages.
sophia is spiritually healing and we love it!! also the content is *mwah* CHEFS KISS
I love your style of vlogs. It feels like a documentary but also personal. And I also really connect with how you want to continue to improve yourself. 💕💕
You are on a roll! I know you haven't been feeling well but watching you push yourself to new heights with workouts, learning boxing, and even exploring new ways to creatively film&edit your vlogs is so inspiring. Keep up the great work Sophie!
The "sorry my life is not exciting" broke my heart a little bit because it feels as if you're being self-deprecating in an unnecessary way - I think your long time followers including myself continue to follow you for you and your editing style/aesthetic which remains top notch and only continues to get better. Please don't feel like you're boring anyone or failing in any way because your life is not constantly new and "exciting"
I also came to say that you don't have to apologize for going about your life and routine! I AM HERE FOR IT! I LOVE THAT FOR YOU! It also inspires me and pushes me to continue working at becoming consistent and showing up for myself. I think it's relatable and comforting. Thank you for continuing to share 💕
I love that you're keeping yourself busy through boxing on the weekends! I used to box for stress relief and weight loss and it helped so much with my mental/physical health! YOU GOT IT GORL
I went through a bout of depression in 2021 when I lost my dad and the only thing that kept me going was working out. It really was my saving grace, so I really feel for you. Blue skies are ahead. When you hit bottom, there is no way but up! :)
i see that dumpy sis!! remember that growth is NEVER linear, and that your journey is unique to you. proud to see you working on yourself, you inspire me. love you~
Sophia!!! I think a couple things might help you get a better espresso shot:
1) THOROUGHLY cleaning the machine. Theres special fluid and attachments you can use to clean the underpart (where the water comes out) - the attachment circulates hot water to flush all the left behind and burnt bits
2) Tamp/press own on the grinds a bit harder. Typically you need to add about 20lbs of force!!!
Hope that helps. Love you sm
Hey Sophia, Tip for the coffee!! So use fresh coffee, aim for a 30g double shot of espresso with your machine that gets pulled for 26 seconds. Also, your grounds may not be distributed well, causing an uneven pull. Try using a needle to distribute evenly if you don’t wanna buy special tools. P.s, try adjusting the grind size a bit higher and lower, to see if that plays a factor! I also saw you’re not tamping properly!! Press a bit harder
Feel free to reply to this comment with any other questions. Love your content!
i would reccomend tamping/ pushing down the coffee less, just because at home coffee machines often have less pressure than coffee shop/ really professional ones. it helped me a lot at home getting better results with espresso shots, also maybe if there's an option to have it grind less coffee grounds may help. I've worked in coffee shops for years and never understood why my at home machine didn't work the same, and these both helped :)
Could you also weigh the beans separately instead of the breville doing the measuring? It’s an extra step but that way you have the exact amount and no waste
loving this calm and relaxing, REAL vlog. its ok for life to feel stable and not "exciting" !! also, HAIR TUTORIAL PLZ!
Girllll the PRODUCTION QUALITY and your ability to storytell with visuals is getting more and more fire!! Also so glad to see you getting into boxing 🥲 I started about 3 years ago and it’s my favorite part of the week to this day. It’s good you can have fun with your coach too, makes it so motivating to stick to it!! 🥊
I truly look up to you & your dedication to the journey of happiness & growing
Sophie! Your video uploads are always the highlight of my week. I always watch with a cup of hot coffee in the morning because that's the vibe of your videos - warm and comforting. Also, it's so inspiring to see you continuously moving forward and do things that grow you mentally, physically and spiritually to take care of yourself. Thanks for sharing your life with us, helps us feel a little less alone in this world.
P.S. absolutely love your taste in music! ford. in the beginning made me smile from ear to ear (:
My toxic trait is thinking her and her trainer look cute together 😭😭
Same !!! 😭
I’d fall for him instantly.. he’s so hot 😮💨
your calming + authentic energy oozes through the video. thank you for being you, being real. you reminded of how to take on, what can sometimes feel like an absolute battle, life. step by step. thanks again x
I love the way you enrich your own life through being curious about different workouts. It's inspired me to find ways to challenge and connect more with myself.
Currently going through a breakup. These little moments; the gym, making coffee, moments outside and to yourself, journaling your feelings, really matter when you’re trying to take it one day at a time. Thank you for being so transparent. 🕊
You’re a HUGE inspiration for me. I am proud of your dedication to yourself and your self discipline. As an asian woman who also struggles with mental health, it is comforting to see representation. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and sending you love ❤️
Thank you for sharing with us and also letting us know that we’re not alone with loneliness. Sending you so much love, and nope we don’t mind watching your workouts for a million times. You don’t have to explain yourself to everyone. 🥰 alsoooo glad to see you cooking again!
What a great and strong feeling to end the week and start the weekend! 🙌🏾💯 thank you for sharing your vlog and the chili recipe! love everything about your channel 🥰🤗
Watching you slowly heal and work on yourself is so amazing to watch as well as inspiring. Thank you for sharing your journey with us it's truly beautiful to watch. We're all proud of you!
thanks for taking us along w you. haven't had much motivation for life the past several months but finally started to try to get into working out for the first time in like 4 years. honestly really enjoyed you just bringing us w you to the gym. haven't had the will to get better in a long time up until 2 weeks ago so to see how much youre actively working on yourself and putting in effort to take care of yourself is so motivating for me. Appreciate you sharing your life with us. i hope days will be happier soon. sending love.
I genuinely look forward to watching your vlogs every time you upload. I'm also in the process of my journey of self and life. Seeing you share your daily life as well as the vulnerable moments is something I enjoy very much. Don't ever think that your videos aren't entertaining enough because you have a routine that you like and that helps. If anything it helps and inspires me to keep pushing forward. Sending you so much love!.
This video was so enjoyable to watch, love the editing. But most important love you for all of the hard work you are putting in to self growth so motivating to see this!
I actually enjoy seeing people working out, even more when they enjoy it ! It keeps me motivated.
Seeing you use your breville and making your coffee is always one of my favorite parts to your vlogs 😍
That’s my personal mantra 🕉 “One day at a time”✨🙌🏽💕 don’t get frustrated everything has their time and space ✨
Your patience to cook meals are inspiring. I end up just buying store bought meals if the recipe requires to many ingredients or steps 😂
the coffee grinder & music starting in sync was SOOO SATISFYING 🤩🤩🤩
Damn if that video didn’t motivate you or what?! It’s crazy how far you’ve pushed yourself.. your growth and confidence is so empowering. You’re stunning and also getting strong. Thank you for sharing your journey Soph! You’re truly an inspiration.
So proud of your progression and you really taking the time to take care
Your videos are such a nice reminder for me to pause and actively do the things that I know are healing for me. Who knows why I don't do them all the time when I know they make me feel better. But you motivate me to get back on top of it, thanks Sophia!
I've been feeling super unmotivated recently and it's comforting to see that not everything has to be at a level ten all the time tbh. in regards to why your shots aren't great, it could be quite a few factors - dosage, distribution in the porta filter (uneven distribution leads to channeling, so both over- + under-extraction which creates sour and bitter flavors), the roast level of your beans (darker roasts *can* be more bitter, especially beans roasted specifically for espresso since it's intended more for milk drinks), etc. I don't drink espresso, but I've heard your puck prep is the most important thing when brewing that way. I'd recommend the James Hoffman channel and watching his espresso series to see if that'll help you make coffee that you enjoy more :)
going through a healing journey myself, I can't express how much these vlogs help me! thank you 💗
Please don’t stop vlogging. I can totally relate!!!
I love watching them ♥️ they’re so soothing to me. The aesthetics and all “chef kiss”
I've been feeling down and just have no energy to do anything and seeing sophia just hustling through the day give me at least a bit of push to get over my tasks of the week.
Hello Sophia x
Your videos are beautiful & encapsulate normal everyday life. There’s nothing to be apologetic or ashamed about.
By the way, about the Breville Coffee Machine, there should be a setting to adjust the grind amount so you don’t waste any coffee grind.
Some tricks I learnt that can make it less bitter: You might need to "pack" the coffee in; press it down harder. Also, make sure you press the hot water button faster - the longer you keep the coffee handle thing on the hot machine, the more likely it will burn...
Your videos are so beautiful. Your aesthetic is so calming.
I value the “unexciting”. I feel like life has been hectic and I’m struggling to keep up with the fast paced chaos of it all. I don’t know if other people feel the same way but I love seeing the steadiness of how you choose to live your life. I genuinely hope you are doing well and are at peace with what is happening in the here and now. Much love 언니. 힘내.
I feel the same way. Its comforting to know that this is normal to other people too.
I truly appreciate the fact that you show us your exercise routine, I would like to thank you for this new editing style I really love it.
when I was struggling with depression youtube, books, audiobooks, and so many blogs made my day.
So, I hope you can overcome this and continue building the incredible woman that you are.
Be strong Sophia :)
The perfect thing to watch while I have my morning coffee!!💗😌 I’ve been wanting to try boxing but lowkey intimidated to do it in a big class, having private lessons is such a good idea!!💗
Sophie!!!! I love your videos, you have no idea the calmness and happiness they make me feel when I see them! Love it 🤍
The music during your coaches dinner is perfection. A true vibe. 🍃
Soph has the prettiest hair and smile, adore her gentle spirit 💜
Sophia, these shots were so good. You could see how much thought and creativity you had in this video. Always thoroughly enjoy them. I hope the meditation and going hard in the gym is helping you heal. Sending you all my love.
I love all your kitchen stuff, pots, spoons , everything!!
Thank you for sharing parts of your life with us! Your videos are so relaxing to watch. I relate to the feelings you’ve mentioned and I applaud your drive to heal and grow💕
Sophia posts a new video, and then I have to stop whatever I am doing, make coffee and ....its Sophia time. Something about your videos is so comforting ❤️
Your video editing skills are impeccable
I know that it's been a struggle lately. Have you thought of picking up a 1 day a wk 9-5 type gig? Or taking a course in something completely unrealated to what you might do for your "social media brand"? I find that having my normal mundane 9-5 keeps things routine and allows me to interact with so many different types of people. It's not always amazing but it makes a difference in my mood.
GIRL. all your hard work has been paying off; your body's looking so good!!!
The cinematography of your videos! Watching these is truly like watching art!
So proud of you Sophie! I will continue to follow you and watch your videos. They bring me so much comfort no matter what the content is
your vlogs are sooo calming and relaxing.. the shots are so beautiful! appreciating your attention to the little details :')
Thought you should know that I choose your channel because of the artistry you take to representing the peaks and valleys of life, and because I resonate with that cycle. Truly, your videos are like the vignette equivalent of vlogs.
I’m not waiting for you to start doing anything crazy fun or special, I’m just along for the ride, boxing and all, and enjoying it.
Please your video editing level is on another level. For a moment I felt like I was watching a movie 🥺🤍
Sending you so much love and lights
hey sophia. tbh, havent watched a vid in a truly hot minute (like years), but im glad i found you again. idk what you're goin thru but hey, idk what im goin thru either, and seeing you strive towards health and happiness makes me and my weathering brain want to keep doing the same. beautiful shots of everyday life, filters, playing with music -- thanks for cataloging and sharing. a big breath of fresh air and love to you.
Hi Sophia! Packing as much grind in your coffee basket may seem less wasteful but every basket will have a certain recommended dry weight. Your shot looks like it’s running too quickly and the bitterness comes from your shot being over-extracted. Try going finer and instead of packing them too much, try levelling and tamp from there.
From a barista in Australia x
I love the usual gym montage :). You're looking stronger every time and it's inspiring!
your life is for you 💗 i’m simply happy to be part of it based on how you want to share it. your videos are calming and grounding :)
that ad moment was ✨phenomenal ✨
I literally wish to be a vlogger like you, so calm and chill but so entertaining. that boxing trainer seems so fun to learn from “ya saekki”😭
I always look forward to your vlogs :’) so beautifully crafted and I love seeing a glimpse of your life.
Your form and punches while boxing were so strong Sophia.
Within the community you've created, none of us except you to be anyone but yourself and live your own life. It doesn't need to be pleasing and entertaining to us, as long as it serves you, we'll be happy just to be allowed a glimpse.
You nice. Keep going.
Sophi maybe u could sing ur feelings out…You have such a beautiful voice
(sorry i’m advance if you know these things.) you gotta press down into the grinds with stamper to compress all the coffee in there and typically the beans have a certain time they should stay before you pull which is between 20-30 seconds. 26 seconds is such a sweeet spot but a pain in da butt lowkey? not too familiar with this breville thingy but maybe possibly you could adjust some settings for da sweeet spot. just a suggestion idk but yeah ~ i think your form at the gym is lovely. take care.
The beef fish has so many ingredients and flavors , looks like a dark cuisine
This vid felt so refreshing. I always love your videos Soph but the little sweet disruptions to routine felt so great to see! It was a good reminder to find ways to spice up your day or week :)
The songs you put in each vlog are so good!!!! You got a playlist??????
Sophie, we got a Breville espresso machine because of you! RE: not packing a good shot, are you pushing down on the tamper (I didn’t see that in the video)? Because that will help your espresso pull in range. Good luck; it took weeks of practice for us, and each bean is different! But when you get it it’s simple :)
Watching you make your coffee is always so satisfying...better days are ahead, wishing you well Sophia!
Your life is not boring!! You are doing the hard work: physically and emotionally. Beautiful 😍
Long time viewer (since the surprising Weylie in SF days☺️) first time poster!!
You just need to put more pressure when you tamp (hard push) and do a slightly finer grind. The espresso extraction is meant to start off thick and dark as that's where the *honey* (sweet) part drips, then the rest of the shot runs slightly more watery. Hopefully it'll get less bitter that way :)
Hope you're feeling better day by day Soph!
I always look forward to your videos! They’re just so calming and give good vibes 💕💕💕
enjoying my saturday morning with you is seriously the best… 🖤🖤🖤 wishing you a lovely weekend ✨
I LOVED this video!!! You should be proud of how much you have grown and seeing you try new things makes me so happy.
Life will always come in waves, we just got to ride through it. 🌊
Keep growing and glowing girl. ✨
Ughh that chilli looked so good!
Definitely consider getting a distributor and tamper (not included w the machine) so the espresso shots come out not so bitter! I also measure mine out and it really really helps
I love You , Your backyard and the dogs ❤️
Your videos always motivate me. They are perfectly self reflective, soothing,inspiring,funny,sad,happy and so much more. Keep fighting Sophia. ❤️🙌🙏
Your videos always uplift me no matter what! You are such an inspiration and such a beautiful human inside and out! 💕 ps that Chilli looked bloody amazing! xxx
Your videos are so calming 🥰
the editing of this video is superb!! keep doing what you're doing Sophia you're improving a lot
Sophia your vlogs are like a piece of cinema….so beautifully shot ❤️
Soph! Your videos are so satisfying! Thank you so much for the content!
Watching your video is the highlight of my day, I like that you are leaning more into physical fitness type stuff,it helps with mental health more than you think. I love your channel and hope you keep making more of these kind of videos.
Sophie, your vlogs are always chefs kiss!! 🤌
Love you Soph💌
Things will get better, always praying for you 💕
Your aesthetics inspires me! The vlog is beautiful🤍
Thank you for your content, sometimes I'm just heavy and life just feels tough and even though your videos don't actively solve problems they give me a moment for my brain to calm down. Ps. I do kickboxing as well and its a great way to get your head buzzed with new energy. Lots of love from Cape Town, South Africa.
