Hey guys! Today I am reviewing all the viral TikTok items that I was *forced* to buy! Have you guys fallen victim to the TikTok shop or sponsored products? If so what was it?? Love ya💖 Also I edited this video, but thank you guys so much for all your feedback on the editing of the last video! I am going to pass along all of your comments to my editor! 💖
Hieye girl, loved this video with the mixed up things you did buy and tried! Even those recipes do look healthy in a way it also looks tasteless... bet you an make it work and grill or heat things up, add some spices and voila it will be yummie right? 😋
Adding to add: Every diet, or body fat losing program, that claims it can focus on a specific region on your body (or implies it, by asking which you want to improve), is a scam. It's NOT possible to specifically target certain areas in that, or a noticeable, way. You can build muscle specifically, but fat, well where that's settling down is purely a thing of hormones and genes.
The goopy stuff in the can of kidney beans isn't syrup, it's the starchy liquid that results from cooking the beans. Which, fun fact, is necessary for red kidney beans as they are HIGHLY toxic if not cooked properly🤗
@@gigi2k326 There have been lots cases of people getting REALLY sick from kidney beans, it came with the rise of slow cookers. They need to be heated to 212° for 10 minutes to remove a toxin. You don't have to worry about this with canned beans, it's if you were cooking dry beans. If you're going to do dry beans in a slow cooker you need to boil them first.
However, many brands add sugar to the cans of kidney beans, so the aquafaba is syrup. Why? I have no idea. IMHO, sugar in canned beans is unnecessary and disgusting. In my area, an urban area with around 1 million people, at the local supermarket, only 1 brand of kidney beans does not contain sugar. Even the organic, extra expensive brands have sugar. The one brand without sugar costs over $1 more than even the organic kidney beans. It's a lot of sugar, too. After rinsing, after soaking in water, after soaking in vinegar and water, the beans still tasted sweet. Really sweet. Like Asian red bean pastry sweet. If anyone has a source for dried large dark red kidney beans, please share. All of the dried kidney beans I can find are not the same variety as those that end up canned in corn syrup or overpriced.
Reminded me of food I ate during summer breaks from college when I was trying to survive on whatever was still in my pantry... the peanut butter tortea was especially familiar...
For lashes - clean lashes, no makeup…curl your lashes, put bond near your lash root then also near the band of cluster…when eye is done, seal and squeeeeeze all the lashes with tweezers or curler to really get them together. To get rid of glue when taking off, use oil based cleanser. You got this!
I was thinking that too. Hearing the recipes/portions (particularly the breakfast) was kinda giving me "disordered eating in diet's clothing" vibes. Of course it's only a few recipes from the book, but my red flag factory called me to say business is booming 💀
It almost seems like they fed all those terrible 90's diets into AI and it does the "personalization" for them without any real nutritional needs taken into account.
Omg….. been hoping you might branch out into these kinds of videos! So excited 🎉🙏 We need your honest consumer champion queen assessment over more than just subscriptions…. It’s a new dawn, it’s a new day! 💚
As someone who’s been around a while, studied and practiced nutrition and seen many many many diet fads over the years, absolutely NO to that book, I don’t even need to see it to know it’s trash and you should just toss it. Please do not let it believe that this is what “healthy people” eat. It’s an ED in disguise. Please take care of yourself with the love and food you deserve!
I thought we were gonna have to wait to watch the cooking with Alexandria part I was way too excited. Girl if you don't want to eat that food, I didn't blame you I mean it doesn't look or sound bad, except for that cold corn tortilla, but if u put videos out I'll be watching them no matter what they are. 💙💙
I don't go on tok tik often and after hearing so many horror stories of people ordering from the shop and getting counterfeit, old, used, cheap or no product at all I'm not willing to risk it. My husband's coworker had her card info stolen ordering something from there. Because everyone links to the products in the shop I don't believe they even like them, they just like the commission 😂 I would however watch countless videos of you reviewing products from the shop 😂 you look as gorgeous as always, thanks for the video! I don't want you to suffer but for *science* and since you already bought the book and everything, it might be fun to watch you eat the food. You could do it like with the decor boxes recreate at home goods, 1 week of that food then you could remake it, still on the healthier side but actually tasty and something someone would want to eat.
The video has just started and my eyes are rolling! That 'African Bath Sponge' is just a bit of nylon 'dance/sport netting' you buy at the fabric store. It's about 50c (retail) worth. 😂
Oh gosh Alexandria I do NOT request for you to follow that book diet at all. I would NEVER want to torture you LOL 😂! I know I couldn’t do it either. I’m quite happy with unboxings and advent calendars. And your taste tests like with cookies, chocolates and marshmallows kind of stuff hahaha! That stuff is fun 🤩! TFS sweet Alexandria ♥️
Put the kidney bean & tomato "salad" on the avoca...sorry guacamole toast, combine the snacks, that way it might be beareable. Lol The tortilla recipe sounds like it was put together by someone who has never eaten tortillas but were desparately trying to come up with alternatives to regular bread. 😅😂💀
As a Texan, we do a lot of Tortilla subbing & honestly if it was a flour tortilla with peanut butter & berries, it'd be fine but Corn Tortilla? No!! Corn Tortilla is definitively savory, it's not neutral like a flour tortilla. And while I will munch on a room temp corn tortilla with just butter, you can't roll or fold it, it's gonna fall apart. For sure someone who was trying to think of a bread alternative and doesn't know that Flour & Corn Tortillas are different things.
So take the tortilla and definitely heat it, schmear it with the guacamole and then add your halved tomatoes and garnish with some lemon juice, salt and chopped cilantro (if you like cilantro). Sounds like a much better snack to me anyway!
NOT the "fallen soldiers" 😂! Don't feel bad doll...the sad tiktok pets get me all the time. Hubby will walk in the room and take one look at me like "OFF...Tiktok...NOW"
The best hairbrush related item I've ever owned is the Remington electric detangler. My hair gets tangled and matted in two seconds (thinner than normal individual hairs and lots of them) and really brushing it through takes about 2 hours on the regular. The Remington thingamajig is done in 20 minutes. Little to no breakage. Got influenced by Bunny (grav3yardgirl) and her "does this thing really work" -- I LOVE IT. 😂😂
Pond Water is the type of product I would happily purchase. I would love to see more items available on line where the purchase went to helping people in this manner. Even if the items were something of a practical nature. Imagine how amazing shopping would feel if all our dollars went to worthwhile causes.🎉❤
The dog toy made me think ”hmmm, a dog will tear that up but, how about for a cat?” and now I think I might need one (or three) for my fur babies. The brush seems okay(I’m falling for the bright pink bristles). But that sweat shirt!!! I use to be scared to death of raccoons. Now, due to unexpected circumstances, I have a “ring-tail” army that eat from my hand, knock on the back door, and find their food dish when I tell them “go to the bowl”. I MUST HAVE THAT SWEATSHIRT!
I love this kind of video! Those recipes seem like Girl Dinner™️ originals. However, I put pumpkin seeds in/on almost everything. Pasta, rice, salads, soup, chili. Pumpkin seeds have such a good texture with extra goodness.
I loved the Cooking with Alexandria segment!!! Also I'd say I'm up for the weekly meal plan challenge but I feel bad for making you eat such exciting meals😆😂
Alexandria so sweet. My opinion the loofa is a loofa. The book was sweet. That brush has been exposed as a knock off from that brand because the brand stamp is missing. Love the sweatshirt. I gave up gluten, sugar, and processed foods it did help my Lupus. No book required 😂
Omg yay I’m so excited to see this type of video from you I always watch others like this, they’re one of my favorites. TikTok gets me too after they show me the ad a million times lol. Hope you and your family and the boys are doing good
A little bit different. ...anyone else remember the product review days? I remember when Alex received her first product review type thing that's wasn't a subscription I think it was a creator website that connected creators with products? Been here awhile 😊 This is a nice addition.
As someone who’s cut out gluten, dairy, corn, and soy for my autoimmune disease, I SO felt the lackluster snacks 😂 the foods I eat are rarely what I wish I could eat
I'm greatful for less advertising being Canadian, we don't have tiktok shop, but I don't use tiktok it's all feels like an ad as is, thank you your honesty and showing us others who can't see or get these things, I watch all of your videos for years and love your video's, thank you for being honest with your reviews and I know we're not missing out on the tiktok shop. It looks like dropshipped items almost and the prices are a bit more expensive than I expected since we don't see what you all see. ✌️ 💛 🇨🇦🕯️
I think a deep dive into the Beyond Body thing would be really interesting. I've seen the advertisements, but it would be nice to see your opinion on it, and how the program works. Its so hard to trust the reviews of folks that are really trying to sell it, so it would be great to hear a review from someone we already trust.
Cannot believe I caught one of your videos so early🎉...love that you are putting up more at the minute, but no pressure when ever you put a video up no matter what the content am here for it..Alexandria I just want to say thanks, thanks for getting me through a scary time recently , you lovely personality and fabulous videos kept me sane recently as I went into anaphylaxis 3 weeks ago no reason as to why yet going for more tests and you kept me company in hospital , you never know how much you mean to us all here so thank you ❤love from Ireland 🇮🇪 Anita.
Right? I'm in the process of removing a lot of the Bell notifications for channels I am subscribed to, but, I'm DEF keeping Alexandria on there!! I gotta know when there are new videos! ❣ She's my favorite RUclipsr, and I have a STUPID amount of channels I watch... Haha!
This was a fabulous video! I've been watching you for years, and it was great seeing "cooking with Alexandria" make a come back. Would love to see you tackle more of the book. ❤
My 5 year old has thick curly hair that consistently gets clumpy tangles over night. I have The Tangle Teaser and the unbrush brush. I don’t recommend the unbrush brush for hair like hers at all. The tangle teaser is the BEST brush I’ve found for her and her tangles!
I love to see the trying at home stuff vids. But I wouldn’t in a million years ask you to eat anything else from that book. Find a cookbook that brings you joy and share that with us! I’d hate to see something frustrate you just for us. ❤❤❤
I wanted to say I am so proud of you and your hair! I know in the past you were always afraid to do anything with your hair because it is very fine and thin but it looks like your hair is doing so well when you demonstrated with the brush. Look at you go!
I truly live how honest you are and your so funny and it seems almost unintentionally funny which males it even funnier!😂😂 I honestly watch your videos to the end. 😊❤ Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us!! Oh and the flies me to everytime I rake the dog out a fly comes in. 😂
Natural loofah sponges actually come from the fruits of vine-growing Luffa plants. These plants are part of the gourd family (Cucurbitaceae) making them relatives of watermelons, cucumbers and pumpkins. When a luffa fruit dries out and is peeled, you are left with its fibrous interior, which can be used as a sponge.
the book is SSOO good! I bought it for the same reason and recommend it to EVERYONE! I also have a REALLY BAD habit of buying crystals off TikTok, not sure if they are real or not... but they are SHINEY! I'll have to look into some of these products
Love the sweatshirt!!! The recipes in that book sound and look horrendous. Aint no one sticking with those! The fact there is VERY little protein in the recipes for whole day us a disaster 😆
Those "recipes" are something teenage me would have thrown together in pursuit of "cooking" for myself while my parents and brother were gone at one of his baseball games. And then I'd eat half and throw the rest away because it was awful. Then I'd end up eating canned soup.
I guess I’m the opposite the more I see an ad the more determined I am not to buy it… but I’ll do that with a lot of things. There’s a VERY fine line between where I can be convinced to do something and where I’m going to dig my heels in.
Beyond Body keeps infiltrating my FYP. You’re a real one for testing these 😅 we need the whole week! 🤣 hopefully you don’t lose your sanity in the process🫶🏻
Lol when you mentioned having a steady hand to apply those lashes I couldn't help but snort. I have familial tremors (hand shaking that runs in the family) so I'd probably end up poking my eye out.
my mom LOVES tortillas with peanut butter and apple slices and cinnamon she heats them up in the little toaster oven and the peanut butter gets so soft and the tortilla gets a little crispy.... they're honestly not bad at all, buuuuuut i don't have the patience lol
hey Ally i love all your videos but did love this new edition. Hopefully you can add this type of video into your rotation with sub boxes and advent calendars ect 😊
My daughter suffers from depression and will get matted hair. The undone brush is more geared toward matted hair versus tangled hair. For her hair it can can down brushing time by 25%. The "bristles" are good at working out the mattes.
This is a little heads up if you need to go gluten free: canned pumpkin usually has some sort of gluten in it to keep it from sticking to the sides. I found this out because i wanted to use it for some recipes and am gluten/wheat intolerant. Having pumpkin only during fall is sad. 😢
The tortia one is def an example of the sum being less than thenwhole of its parts. If just eat a slice of bread with peanutbutter and have the grapes on the side
What I would say a better version of those lashes are the Impress Lashes by Kiss - same concept but the lashes has glue on them already so even easier in my opinion.
Omg yes please do a series of tik tok made me buy it!! So far they’ve gotten me on the chopper it sucked and I’ve also gotten some 3d printed stuff and the meoky cup
I feel the same for Vinted. I keep seeing so many cute second hand romantic clothes, cute cottagecore accessories and unique shoes... and now my wardrobe is filled with Bavarian clothes with puffy sleeved croc tops, knitted things and mushroom earrings and necklaces which... I kind of like. XD I never thought I could be into cottagecore, since I am more an underworld queen/bog witch. You know something new about yourself every day XD
I will say this about the unbrush, I did get it for my daughter (she has weird textured hair, it's thick, it curls when she does right after a shower, and it tangles super easily)...it works a lot better on her than several of the other brushes I have gotten her over the years. She has actually broken brushes trying to brush her hair. She has curly hair products and I put those in for her until a few years ago when I taught her how to and it was a struggle to brush her hair. The unbrush works amazingly with her hair and she said it makes it way easier to brush her hair to where she no longer argues with me on brushing it. Just as someone else who got the unbrush for a specific reason. It's really good for that thick, textured, curly, and super tangly hair.
Loved your video!! I would love to see you do this Beyond Body week long food eating thing, especially since the Beyond Body has been floating on my for you page on tiktok
Years ago I made the switch from brushes to using only wide toothed combs, and yeah, I still get tangles that can pull, but my hair is way less frizzy and damaged now. It might just be because I have wavy, thin, fine hair but using a comb only has made my hair so much more healthy.
I don’t do TikTok but I have watch videos of hauls from there and it truly seems like a lot of junk. Looks like you got a few things you like, which is great, but did you need them? That’s the thing with these shops is the spontaneous buying which is why I stay away. As for the food from the book, it didn’t look great. If you want to do a week I will surely watch it as I watch everything you put out lol However don’t feel like you need to torture yourself for us. Like I said, I will watch anything you put out because your videos are funny, entertaining and make me happy ❤ Love you Alexandria 😊
You and me are so diffrent people. When i see an ad over and over... I begin hating that product. Back when you tube started doing ads, and it gave the same ad over and over, there was an ad for BBQ sauce, bullseye specifically, i got so many in a row, To this day i refuse to even eat anything if some uses that brand of BBQ sauce due to how much i hate that brand due to how many ads i got during that time. I got RUclips premium as soon as it became available, and have had it ever since. I want to support the creators, but i despise marketing like that, that i cant skip or ignore.
I know I'm late to the game on this one but I would love to see a video of you trying more recipes out of the book! I just started south Beach and might try that kidney bean salad soon. I might try the guac toast after phase 1 but add an egg and nature's seasons seasoning blend.
I loved this video!! I’m definitely interested in seeing the week of beyond body, especially as a girly who is in denial about needing to cut out gluten 🥲
Please find a better source for gluten free recipes. Way back when I first went gluten free, there was a FB/Insta/Blogger who went by “Gluten-Free Girl and the Chef” and her journey and recipes made me feel nourished and excited instead of sad about removing gluten. Good sources are out there, don’t be drawn into sadness!
About brushing your hair in the morning: I started putting my hair in a satin bonnet for sleeping and I would braid or tie my hair so it doesn’t escape the cap. My hair is much less tangled and I find it kinda shinier after a while, less breakage too. Maybe it would help your hair out too! I have long, medium thick hair that always gets split ends.
Thank you so much for reviewing the Beyond Body book! I can't tell you how many times I've gone through the whole "almost" purchasing but never actually hit the finish button 😂
i’ve been doing lash clusters on myself for 4 years. i started with the kiss lash kit i think well worth it especially for the price and longevity. But i love your channel i live in Cincinnati so proud to support ❤
Please do 1 million of these kind of videos! Loved your reviews and you’re a trustworthy source! Also would love to see you do a deeper dive into that body book. Love your videos, it’s like hanging out with a dear friend 😊
The press on lashes are super good! I can’t speak for these bc I haven’t tried them but I hate strip lashes and I suck at them! BUT the Kiss Impress lashes are soo good and soooo easy to do!
Those eyelashes are like the Kiss branded ones. And strip lashes cut in half are much easier to use as a beginner. I've been using lashes for years now. And you want ones with a clear or invisible band.
i wish we ha tiktok shop in Australia, but also it probably saves me money and storage space that we dont. i would enjoy watching a video on that cookbook because so far personally I wouldnt eat any of that food.
Hey guys! Today I am reviewing all the viral TikTok items that I was *forced* to buy! Have you guys fallen victim to the TikTok shop or sponsored products? If so what was it?? Love ya💖 Also I edited this video, but thank you guys so much for all your feedback on the editing of the last video! I am going to pass along all of your comments to my editor! 💖
I have impulse control and late-night buying issues, so I'm glad I don't have Tik Tok! Lol
Unbrush is a scam
Can you post the link for the sweatshirt??
Hieye girl, loved this video with the mixed up things you did buy and tried! Even those recipes do look healthy in a way it also looks tasteless... bet you an make it work and grill or heat things up, add some spices and voila it will be yummie right? 😋
I love the music you use, maybe your new editor could use that music too? :)
Oh honey, there is no way that I would ask you to continue using that book with horrible recipes. I enjoy your happy spirit.
Same here!❤
Adding to add: Every diet, or body fat losing program, that claims it can focus on a specific region on your body (or implies it, by asking which you want to improve), is a scam.

I would love to see what a week of eating from the book would look like but also don’t want to torture you for a week 😂
I would too because I see it constantly and am so willing to try it to shed weight. It’s allegedly different for each person. But is it?
Same 😅
Delete this bc the people pleaser in Alexandria will see this and go ya know what let’s do that cause someone asked 😂
But kinda do because you know it will be entertaining 😅
💯 same!
Alexandria’s intro is a perfect explanation of why I don’t use tik toc 😂😂😂

It almost seems like they fed all those terrible 90's diets into AI and it does the "personalization" for them without any real nutritional needs taken into account.
I agree, these seem like crash diet recipes. Not good for you at all.

I literally just commented this! This is a starvation diet for fast weight loss! No one should eat that diet.
I have been watching for YEARS and haven’t ever been able to be this early!!! Love you, Tater and Wren so much! ♥️
Aww thank you so much for being a part of the channel for so long! Love ya❤❤

Noooo! Those are content boxes and we want to watch all of it!
I volunteer to be a guest on the random roundup to help unbox those packages 😂
😂
The video has just started and my eyes are rolling! That 'African Bath Sponge' is just a bit of nylon 'dance/sport netting' you buy at the fabric store. It's about 50c (retail) worth. 😂

I work in customer service and I LIVE for people who wear relatable shirts so I would DEFINITELY compliment the sweater lol
So take the tortilla and definitely heat it, schmear it with the guacamole and then add your halved tomatoes and garnish with some lemon juice, salt and chopped cilantro (if you like cilantro). Sounds like a much better snack to me anyway!
As an Irish person im so happy we dont have tiktok shop. In saying that im happy to watch you try out anything❤

Its so hard to trust the reviews of folks that are really trying to sell it, so it would be great to hear a review from someone we already trust.
Do I have TikTok? No.
Do I buy things online? Also no.
Am I still so excited for this video?! Heck yeah 🎉🎉🎉
Love love love watching you!! You are bubbly and so sweet and honest!! Thank you for all you do! 💕💕💕💕
Cannot believe I caught one of your videos so early🎉...love that you are putting up more at the minute, but no pressure when ever you put a video up no matter what the content am here for it..Alexandria I just want to say thanks, thanks for getting me through a scary time recently , you lovely personality and fabulous videos kept me sane recently as I went into anaphylaxis 3 weeks ago no reason as to why yet going for more tests and you kept me company in hospital , you never know how much you mean to us all here so thank you ❤love from Ireland 🇮🇪 Anita.
I had just decided to close RUclips and do something else. Then I got this notification and you sucked me back in. 😂😂😂❤
Right? I'm in the process of removing a lot of the Bell notifications for channels I am subscribed to, but, I'm DEF keeping Alexandria on there!! I gotta know when there are new videos! ❣ She's my favorite RUclipsr, and I have a STUPID amount of channels I watch... Haha!
She's the Tik Tok of RUclips 😄
This was great!! Reminds me of the good old days when we had cooking with Alexandria and Steve!! You should definitely do more of these. It was so fun
This was a fabulous video! I've been watching you for years, and it was great seeing "cooking with Alexandria" make a come back. Would love to see you tackle more of the book. ❤
My 5 year old has thick curly hair that consistently gets clumpy tangles over night. I have The Tangle Teaser and the unbrush brush. I don’t recommend the unbrush brush for hair like hers at all. The tangle teaser is the BEST brush I’ve found for her and her tangles!
I love to see the trying at home stuff vids. But I wouldn’t in a million years ask you to eat anything else from that book. Find a cookbook that brings you joy and share that with us! I’d hate to see something frustrate you just for us. ❤❤❤
Hiiiii Alexandria 💖 Hope you're well and can't wait to see what ya got! ❤️
Hey there!!! Thank you so much, I hope you are too! TikTok really got me with these ads😂💖
@@Alexandria-RyanI'm good! I've resisted TikTok so far, but it's getting close for me to get an account! Haha
I wanted to say I am so proud of you and your hair! I know in the past you were always afraid to do anything with your hair because it is very fine and thin but it looks like your hair is doing so well when you demonstrated with the brush. Look at you go!
I love watching you do cooking segments. It is such a source of entertainment 😂❤
I truly live how honest you are and your so funny and it seems almost unintentionally funny which males it even funnier!😂😂 I honestly watch your videos to the end. 😊❤ Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us!! Oh and the flies me to everytime I rake the dog out a fly comes in. 😂
Natural loofah sponges actually come from the fruits of vine-growing Luffa plants. These plants are part of the gourd family (Cucurbitaceae) making them relatives of watermelons, cucumbers and pumpkins. When a luffa fruit dries out and is peeled, you are left with its fibrous interior, which can be used as a sponge.
At least for me, I really love the unbrush! I have super curly hair and I can definitely feel a difference in the tug when detangling.
I'm loving all the videos!!!
Thank you so much for watching!
the book is SSOO good! I bought it for the same reason and recommend it to EVERYONE! I also have a REALLY BAD habit of buying crystals off TikTok, not sure if they are real or not... but they are SHINEY! I'll have to look into some of these products
Love the sweatshirt!!!
The recipes in that book sound and look horrendous. Aint no one sticking with those! The fact there is VERY little protein in the recipes for whole day us a disaster 😆
Oh Alexandria your face eating those “snacks” was just the best!
Whatever you want to post for content I'm here for the banter ❤
I am obsessed with you theatrically reading the backs of books now. The scream I scrumpt.
Those "recipes" are something teenage me would have thrown together in pursuit of "cooking" for myself while my parents and brother were gone at one of his baseball games. And then I'd eat half and throw the rest away because it was awful. Then I'd end up eating canned soup.
I guess I’m the opposite the more I see an ad the more determined I am not to buy it… but I’ll do that with a lot of things. There’s a VERY fine line between where I can be convinced to do something and where I’m going to dig my heels in.
The only snack that appealed to me was the avocado toast. I hate beans and just cold kidney beans? Straight out of a can? 🤢
Strawberry jam...it's locally made. 😂❤
Beyond Body keeps infiltrating my FYP. You’re a real one for testing these 😅 we need the whole week! 🤣 hopefully you don’t lose your sanity in the process🫶🏻
That opening 😂 Never have I heard a more accurate description of TikTok
I loved this video!!! 😂 And I would not want to torture you with those recipes but if you make a video I’ll watch it of course
❤
Glad to see a new video from my favorite RUclips channel!
Lol when you mentioned having a steady hand to apply those lashes I couldn't help but snort. I have familial tremors (hand shaking that runs in the family) so I'd probably end up poking my eye out.
See I'd take them beans and make Southern caviar salad. 😂 beans, maters, red onions, corms if you wish, dress and chill to meld the flavors
my mom LOVES tortillas with peanut butter and apple slices and cinnamon
she heats them up in the little toaster oven and the peanut butter gets so soft and the tortilla gets a little crispy.... they're honestly not bad at all, buuuuuut i don't have the patience lol
hey Ally i love all your videos but did love this new edition. Hopefully you can add this type of video into your rotation with sub boxes and advent calendars ect 😊
My daughter suffers from depression and will get matted hair. The undone brush is more geared toward matted hair versus tangled hair. For her hair it can can down brushing time by 25%. The "bristles" are good at working out the mattes.
This is a little heads up if you need to go gluten free: canned pumpkin usually has some sort of gluten in it to keep it from sticking to the sides. I found this out because i wanted to use it for some recipes and am gluten/wheat intolerant. Having pumpkin only during fall is sad. 😢
The tortia one is def an example of the sum being less than thenwhole of its parts. If just eat a slice of bread with peanutbutter and have the grapes on the side
I love the unintendedly chaotic nature of this video. Dear lord, don't make yourself eat anything else out of the "cookbook" 🤣
What I would say a better version of those lashes are the Impress Lashes by Kiss - same concept but the lashes has glue on them already so even easier in my opinion.
It wears you down, Alexandria. It does….. I have been struggling against it but it’s hard to stay strong 😂
Im very happy to get a snack plate together and enjoy this video. Its going to be a good one!
Omg yes please do a series of tik tok made me buy it!! So far they’ve gotten me on the chopper it sucked and I’ve also gotten some 3d printed stuff and the meoky cup
You need an eye safe oil based cleanser to take all of the bond off completely 😮
I feel the same for Vinted. I keep seeing so many cute second hand romantic clothes, cute cottagecore accessories and unique shoes... and now my wardrobe is filled with Bavarian clothes with puffy sleeved croc tops, knitted things and mushroom earrings and necklaces which... I kind of like. XD I never thought I could be into cottagecore, since I am more an underworld queen/bog witch. You know something new about yourself every day XD
I will say this about the unbrush, I did get it for my daughter (she has weird textured hair, it's thick, it curls when she does right after a shower, and it tangles super easily)...it works a lot better on her than several of the other brushes I have gotten her over the years. She has actually broken brushes trying to brush her hair. She has curly hair products and I put those in for her until a few years ago when I taught her how to and it was a struggle to brush her hair. The unbrush works amazingly with her hair and she said it makes it way easier to brush her hair to where she no longer argues with me on brushing it. Just as someone else who got the unbrush for a specific reason. It's really good for that thick, textured, curly, and super tangly hair.
I would try some leave in conditioner with a wide toothed comb. Ideally, you should avoid brushing curly hair.
26:45 listening to this in the background and thought my phone just started to play a Juno Birch video 😂
Loved your video!! I would love to see you do this Beyond Body week long food eating thing, especially since the Beyond Body has been floating on my for you page on tiktok
Years ago I made the switch from brushes to using only wide toothed combs, and yeah, I still get tangles that can pull, but my hair is way less frizzy and damaged now. It might just be because I have wavy, thin, fine hair but using a comb only has made my hair so much more healthy.
I don’t do TikTok but I have watch videos of hauls from there and it truly seems like a lot of junk. Looks like you got a few things you like, which is great, but did you need them? That’s the thing with these shops is the spontaneous buying which is why I stay away. As for the food from the book, it didn’t look great. If you want to do a week I will surely watch it as I watch everything you put out lol However don’t feel like you need to torture yourself for us. Like I said, I will watch anything you put out because your videos are funny, entertaining and make me happy ❤ Love you Alexandria 😊
You and me are so diffrent people. When i see an ad over and over... I begin hating that product. Back when you tube started doing ads, and it gave the same ad over and over, there was an ad for BBQ sauce, bullseye specifically, i got so many in a row, To this day i refuse to even eat anything if some uses that brand of BBQ sauce due to how much i hate that brand due to how many ads i got during that time. I got RUclips premium as soon as it became available, and have had it ever since. I want to support the creators, but i despise marketing like that, that i cant skip or ignore.
Now I love this!! Finally something not an unboxing or advent calendar. !!
I know I'm late to the game on this one but I would love to see a video of you trying more recipes out of the book! I just started south Beach and might try that kidney bean salad soon. I might try the guac toast after phase 1 but add an egg and nature's seasons seasoning blend.
I loved this video!! I’m definitely interested in seeing the week of beyond body, especially as a girly who is in denial about needing to cut out gluten 🥲
Please find a better source for gluten free recipes. Way back when I first went gluten free, there was a FB/Insta/Blogger who went by “Gluten-Free Girl and the Chef” and her journey and recipes made me feel nourished and excited instead of sad about removing gluten. Good sources are out there, don’t be drawn into sadness!
About brushing your hair in the morning: I started putting my hair in a satin bonnet for sleeping and I would braid or tie my hair so it doesn’t escape the cap. My hair is much less tangled and I find it kinda shinier after a while, less breakage too. Maybe it would help your hair out too!
I have long, medium thick hair that always gets split ends.
Thank you so much for reviewing the Beyond Body book! I can't tell you how many times I've gone through the whole "almost" purchasing but never actually hit the finish button 😂
Thoroughly enjoyable video especially testing the recipes lol
i’ve been doing lash clusters on myself for 4 years. i started with the kiss lash kit i think well worth it especially for the price and longevity. But i love your channel i live in Cincinnati so proud to support ❤
ALEXANDRIA!! Get the Zevo wall plug bug traps!! They are BOMB.
Please do 1 million of these kind of videos! Loved your reviews and you’re a trustworthy source! Also would love to see you do a deeper dive into that body book. Love your videos, it’s like hanging out with a dear friend 😊
The press on lashes are super good! I can’t speak for these bc I haven’t tried them but I hate strip lashes and I suck at them! BUT the Kiss Impress lashes are soo good and soooo easy to do!
Yay a new video GOD bless everybody have a good day
❤️❤️❤️
Unbrush doesn’t work on my hair. Wet brush paddle brush FTW there.
Love that brush. Any other brush rips my hair out no matter how i brush my hair
I love that we are getting more and more Alex and the boys each week!! ❤️❤️❤️ Keep ‘‘em coming ❤
Those eyelashes are like the Kiss branded ones. And strip lashes cut in half are much easier to use as a beginner. I've been using lashes for years now. And you want ones with a clear or invisible band.
i wish we ha tiktok shop in Australia, but also it probably saves me money and storage space that we dont. i would enjoy watching a video on that cookbook because so far personally I wouldnt eat any of that food.
A better base for that corn tortilla snack would be a rice cake. I used to eat them for breakfast with peanut butter and berries all of the time!
I thought that would have been a better gluten free choice as well!!
Omg dying over that book. Those are totally random AI generated recipes that nobody ever actually eats.
