My Life Update – What I’ve Been Up To These Last 7 Months Since Moving To Miami!
Hey guys! WOW has it been a while since I last wrote in my blog! With all of the madness that has been happening in the last 7 months since my move to Miami from LA, I have been busier than ever working on so many projects at the same time that it’s honestly been hard to keep up with my blog as well. My originally plans for moving here have clearly shifted alot from the moment I got here.
After only living in Miami for a week and a half, the world closed! That was definitely NOT my plan lol and although my plans, ideas and life was put on hold like the rest of us. My main mission in the last 7 months have been basically me trying to save the world (more than ever!) and trying to help and awaken as many people as I possible can to the truth of what’s been going on… you can find more on my YouTube channel.
So what have I been up to in these last few months you might ask?
YouTube & Patreon
I was posting videos on my YouTube almost 4 times a week until my channel got hacked into 🙁 and I lost hundreds and thousands of subs, comments & views and for some odd reason Google/YouTube couldn’t figure it out… hmmm :/ seems super odd to me…but whatever. I’m over it now.
So after that went down, I started a Patreon account and moved my content from YouTube on there and have been creating 2-3 videos a week for Patreon for the last 4 months — giving you the latest updates on what’s truly going on in the world…if you know what I mean…
I Opened 2 Online Stores Selling Q Merchandise
lol not on purpose.
I had originally opened one with Shopify since I already had a shopify store where I sell my Lightroom Presets filters and only after I set it all up I realized I couldn’t link them to my YouTube channel. So I had to open another one with YouTube lol talk about doing double the work lol.
YouTube also has a requirement that in order to open a merchandise store (which FYI was something that was highly requested which is why I created it) you needed to have 10,000 subs on your YouTube channel but since my YouTube kept getting hacked, I would gain 100 and lose 120 subs on repeat allll DAY! But some how … eventually I did get to 10,000 Subs on YouTube, in fact, I got to 16.5k as of now…but that can always change since the hacker is in my system it seems like forever.
Store #1 – Q Merchandise + My Lightroom Presets (anddd more exciting things in the future!) CLICK HERE!
Store #2 – Just Q Merchandise but this one was a wider varity of colors and ideas. CLICK HERE
Amazon Store & LikeToKnowIt
So after forever and a half I’ve recently set up my Amazon Store & LikeToKnowIt account!
An Amazon store is basically all my favorite products I use, recommend or dreaming of! In my Amazon store you will find amazing and affordable dresses & swimwear. I also have travel related gear, blogging gear, my home decor, spiritual ideas and books I love and also survival prepping items!

I’ve also finally got my LikeToKnowIt account set! So if you want to know more about my favorite products, dresses, home decor and home must haves, favorite jewelry & beauty products! Follow me on the LikeToKnowIt app!
I Started A One On One Coaching Program
I started offering one-on-one coaching sessions with me on how to become an influencer — learning how to get paid to travel the world, doing what you love, no matter what niche you’re interested in!
This was something I’ve been wanting to do for so long now! I love helping people and especially helping people do what they love and making their dreams come true.
I think especially in this past year we learned more than ever that almost all of us can work from home and if you’re gonna do that, why not do that with something you’re passion about and love! Right?! So I’ve gathered all my knowledge from the past 6.5 years of being a blogger and now I’m here teaching it those who want this magical and amazing life and helping you get there without wasting time on things that will keep you stuck and going no where.
I’ll be honest with you and tell you that I could have only wished, dream of and hoped to have someone that I could have hired for those few years where I felt stuck in my career trying to understand how to make money from passion! So I just want to help people be able to get there successfully and as easily as possible!
If you’re interested in learning more, please send me a DM on Instagram @hofitkimcohen or FB and I’ll tell you all about it.
My coaching one on one program is a 3 month program broken down to 12 weeks. SPACE IS LIMITED! <3
Future Retreats & Group Trips
I was also working on planning a Content Creating Retreat in Tulum which was set for the end of October but there is a good chance I might have to move to 2021 because so many people want to go but can’t in Oct.
Future E-Course! Get EXCITED!
I’ve also started working on an e-course that I’ve wanted to create for a long time bringing you all the knowledge and things that I learned from being a blogger in the last 6.5 years! Stay tuned!
I’ve Still Been Traveling — Nothing Crazy
ANDDD on top of all of that, I’ve been keeping up daily with all the world events and updates, I’ve traveled to LA and Vegas twice already. Once in June for 3 weeks and then again in August (for 2.5 weeks again) to celebrate my birthday since everything in Miami was still closed at this time.
Furnishing My Apartment & Friends Visiting Me
I’ve also had friends come out and visit me and on top of it alllll lol I’ve been trying to set up my apartment and furnish it which has been a huge challenge since I don’t have a car out here yet, most of the stores were closed for months, everything was in delayed online and half of my life is still in storage in LA again because of the pandemic!
Plant Mom
I also became a plant mom which has been something I’ve wanted to get into forever now. It’s been so fulfilling to grow plants lol 😉 I had no idea! I’ll show you more in future blog posts!
Breaking Point – Mental Health
It’s honestly been a lot to keep up with to say the least. I was kinda on a go, go, go mentality for 6 months — from the moment I opened my eyes until I went to bed at times at dawn. I was a non-stop energizer bunny for 17-20hrs a day without a single day off — so much lack of sleep.
My following also grow by a lot and as that was going on I was receiving anywhere from 400 to sometimes 1000 DMs daily! Not including comments on other social media platforms… this was Instagram alone! It was so hard to keep up with!
It has honestly been such an overwhelming last half a year of my life that I’m still trying to catch up with everything — so if you’ve DMed me in those time frames and I didn’t get back to you — I’m sorry! I really tried getting back to everyone but I’m only one person.
During this time I had also developed 2 types of sickness — NO not Covid related ones! G*d forbid! I did however, develop shingles which is a form of chickenpox that is caused by stress. I also ended up having major PSTD, panic and anxiety attack for 2 weeks straight and Peanut got super sick for 3 weeks which was heartbreaking to watch.
After I got shingles which was the time my YouTube channel was being hacked and thousands and thousands of my subs, comments and views were disappearing on a seconds base and trying to stop it for 12 weeks daily, I got shingles. Which is the time I stopped doing YouTube and moved onto Patreon. I took a small break from everything until I got a little better.
A few months later when my PTSD was once again triggered I realized I need to take a step back once again, revalue my life, what I’m doing that’s overwhelming me so much and tired figuring out what steps I needed to take to feel and get better.
Mental health is so important — peace, serenity, balance and alignment. Of course, I know all these things but sometimes I can’t help but to have a go, go, go mentality and want to finish endless tasks. I had this realization around my birthday time in August. I needed to take a step back, take care of me. I needed to start doing things for me which I haven’t in forever and a half. I needed to create harmony and balance in my world. There was so many things that I missed doing for so long now that I just haven’t even had the chance to tap into since I moved here, including writing on here.
So here I am again! BACK!
The Future!
And I’ve been brainstorming on so much content I want to create for you guys! I have yet to finish furnishing my apartment and getting it all set up the way I had visioned and plan! There is so much work that has to be done and I’d love to take you guys through the phases of what it used to look like (blank/empty), what I’ve created so far and what I plan on creating here!
I had so much hopes and dreams for this new life in Miami. From the type of life and lifestyle I wanted to create here, to different things I had planned to do in my house to hobbies I wanted to attempt and places I wanted to explore and capture for you guys.
I can’t wait to share with you all the fun things I’ve been up to in the last month! Including telling you more about my e-course, future retreats and group trips and so much more! I also do intend to get back to YouTube, although I had officially parted ways from YouTube. I do plan on creating more content on there but it will go back to travel videos, lifestyle and home decor & spiritual topics — not Q related content that will continue to be on Patreon.
If you want to stay up to date please sign up to my mailing list and you’ll be the first to know about all the exciting and new things I have going on because let me tell ya LOL IT’S A LOT! I tend to mainly post these things on Instagram (@hofitkimcohen) but I’m gonna work more on getting spread all over!
Ok love you!
xoxo
