the weekly vlogs are truly therapy to me
So true! They are my happy place ❤ Allana please never stop 😭🫶🏼
🥹🥹💗💗💗
I mean this in the nicest most complimentary way, I’m about to play this video just so it can lull me to sleep ❤
Girl I will take that as a strong asmr compliment hehehe sweet dreams 🎉❤
Oh I just did that and its 8:30 PM and Im sooo ready to sleep 🥱😴❤
Blanket/quilt gang here! I ADORE my quilts, all made by my grandma :’) and adding blankets on top for added texture/color (never mind the warmth) really brings the room together. 10/10 cozy
Ughhh can you share your GMA hahaa that’s amazing and such a beautiful piece of her to always have!! 😢😢❤❤❤
I am probably going to annoy people by suggesting this-- but it comes from love--I am a firm believer of putting things away as soon as you are done with them. I also do 10-15 minute cleaning every morning or after work so that the house is ALWAYS tidy and nothing every gets real dusty or dirty, It's way easier to do it this way than to have to find hours to do it all at the end of the work week or on weekends when you don't have hours of time. xo
Thank you for the shout out to us poor stay at home moms!!!! I’ve had a job since I was 15 and 4 years ago we made the decision for me to stay home and it’s by far the hardest job EVER and we get no recognition, no paycheck and are everyone just thinks I’m living it up at home 😂
Right but it’s also 10000% a choice. No one gets to choose if they want to work because we all *have* to. But being a parent is absolutely a choice.
Listen the full-time job is NOT a joke and y’all need to be paid 😅
AMEN! 👏🏼
@@sarachristine5305 It's a choice that keeps the economy going. No children, no future.
Really sick of motherhood being regarded as some kind of indulgent holiday.
@@sarachristine5305”Right but…” nah I’m gonna have to stop you right there. Nothing in that comment called for sass in return.
Watched your video while nursing my 4 day old son at 2am and I feel so seen with your comments about parenting and cleaning. ❤ Between our 3 year old, newborn, and ourselves, the kitchen is always dirty and the laundry is never done. Sisyphean does not even begin to describe it.
Girl how DO you do it 😅 congrats to your sweetie angel baybay! 🥹💗💗✨✨
Blanket/quilt girl here! So cozy and cute, layers for colder nights or just one for summer. I love keeping one quilt in our collection and adding pops of color with an extra blanket. ❤ and laundry is easier - they dry so much faster and you can just throw it on the bed after!
Yes need this 😅 and so true about the pops of colour! It could be more fun (and clean!!) to swap them out for different vibes!!
Switched from duvet to a quilt with a blanket on top! I can NOT be bothered with a duvet, I absolutely hate the process of putting the puff in the pocket. Switch, you won’t regret lol
Noted 😅😅😅
I did the same 2 years ago. No regrets
I feel like duvet covers and flat sheets were things invented because washing machines were too small for comforters and quilts. Growing up my family always slept raw dogging the blanket/quilt. But alas I now have a tiny washing machine that can not support my comforter/quilt dreams and I have been sequestered to the duvet cover (no way am I dealing with the tangling that is a flat sheet). One day... maybe.... I will once again have a large washing machine 😢
Confession time - in summer I put an empty duvet cover on the bed.
I find it adds enough weight that I feel snug without adding too much heat. For context our summers have 20 degree nights often so we don't need the warmth.
I do this too, plus a light cotton bed cover on top for the weight. It’s the weight for me honestly
The amount of times I’ve done this 😅😅 right there with you gal hahhaa
Same. Our summers get really hot (had a 28 degree night in January this year), so just using the empty duvet cover is great because it still looks kinda nice & matchy without the extra heat.
Its so refreshing to watch you eat actual relatable food
At 37 I joined a sports team and it has been the best idea ever!!
Also, we are totally team quilt in the warm months and duvet in the colder months. It is life and time saving... Fun video as always. Meryl is queen
Dan is sooo cute! He looks so shy
your vlogs never fail me to brighten my mood, you are a ray of sunshine
Ahhhhh thank you 😭😭💗💗☀️☀️ I just want us all to hang out lol
The “Tuesday” face of makeup was perfection!!
Thanks gal 🥹 it will be up later this week!! ❤❤
You expressed exactly what I was feeling this weekend (and experience all the time) about household maintenance - how do people do it and why is it so muuuuccch all the time. I just want to sit on the couch and read on the weekend when Im home but all I do is run around cleaning up and organizing. Life admin is reeal! Rant over. Glad to get the assurance that we are not alone in this :)
You’ll never regret investing in a weighted blanket. They’re perfect perfect for making you feel cozy without making you feel hot.
We need a Tutorial on Tuesdays makeup look...it's gorgeous!
It will be up at the end of the week hehehe thanks gal! ❤❤❤
Duvet in winter, light quilt getting ready to come out of storage!
Housework truly never ends! Single mum, work full time and have all the housework…my brain never switches off. Always lists of things to do. I wasn’t able to work the first year of the pandemic and I home schooled like all parents….wow that was intense!!
Oversized King quilts are amazing! You can get cream, beige, earthy tones ana great quality for $40-$60. They also clean nicely in the wash. The minimal “fluff” inside doesn’t move around or lump due to the numerous stitching
Spring has sprung where I live too! Which is nice, but also unfortunate because that means tornado season has also blown in. Just yesterday, we had several severe weather/tornado warnings from areas all around my house. Thankfully, none actually touched down near my house. Well wishes to anyone who got or will get caught up in a tornado. Stay safe out there!!
Omg what 😰😰😰 are you ok is this normal 😅
@@allanaramaa Yes, I’m fine. Thanks for asking!
As for the second question, it is normal for my state to experience tornadoes around this time of year, but there usually aren’t any that are predicted to touch down in my area of the state. Tornadoes usually stay more towards the south of the state, but there’s generally one severe weather alert per season. For spring it’s usually just rain, summer is usually tornadoes, fall is winds, and there’s usually one big blizzard in winter.
I love to watch your youtube videos because this can be more ”real”, for example seeing your true tennis ootd here versus your so glam instagram tennis post last month with the jewellery and all😆i really love the fact that you can do both socials so everyone gets to watch what they want!❤
I use a sheet and the duvet is then a quilt on top , so I just change the sheets up
We are blanket people and honestly we even take it a step further and have our own blankets because we both like a different style of blanket 😂 I like a think cozy blanket and he basically sleeps with a sheet
Your vlogs are my favourite 🫶🏻
Thank you 🥹🥹🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
‘Stay at home’ working from home mom here. It’s possible! I work from home and have my toddler at home with me, it’s possible! Not easy at allllll…. But we find a way and plan out our days in advance ❤ I love your vlogs. Been watching since 2016!
Love these weekly vlogs! Also - for your demographics - I am in my 60's and my husband in his 70's and still play competitive tennis. He also coaches a high-school tennis team. Love the sport, and love watching you enjoy it.
About 3 months ago my boyfriend and I also switched out our duvet and duvet cover for a cotton quilt. I get an extra throw blanket and warm PJs if I’m cold but it’s so much easier
Can you do an entire video dedicated to your tennis journey and your racket, shoes, etc. ? I've recently gotten back into playing tennis as an adult and I feel like we're on a similar journey and I'd love to see how your experience has been as well.
Oh I love a quilt in the spring and summer it’s such a nice break from the duvet
If you have two duvet covers, then as soon as you take one off to wash you can immediately put the new one on. Same with sheets!
Ooohh west elm has lovely linen quilts, perfect warmth level and easy to wash!
Big time quilt people over here. I refuse to do any “unnecessary” tasks, so we have very minimal bedding.
This is a life philosophy I can get behind!!
@@allanaramaa girl having a baby does that to you. I gotta have it streamlined!
We just use the duvet cover and it’s the best. It’s from Casaluna and it’s super cooling and silky soft.
been using rollers my entire life and the big ones are for long hair/blow out look. if your hair isn’t long enough go with medium sized rollers. because of the front layers maybe try the medium in the front and big ones in the back. personally i do it old school and use the hair bonnet dryer to style
appreciate your quest for a alternative for the lululemon 8 inch as i too am a big, big fan & am consistently checking for a restock. keep us updated!!!
Allana! As a fellow Align 8” short lover, my biggest tip- grab Align 23” or Align 21” and get them hemmed to an 8” inseam! If you don’t mind colour, I like to grab sale pairs so that I’m essentially paying the same price.
I have a linen quilt and an Ugg blanket these take me from summer to winter with no fighting with duvets. Bliss!
That makeup was giving BALLERINA VIBES!! ❤
Definitely no duvet! We are such warm sleepers for sure team blanket and a thin quilt. I found a super cute thin white one at target lol. And in the winter we have a heavy knit type blanket that adds warmth on a colder night
in the summer I sleep with just the duvet cover, and a blanket or quilt on top if needed. Hate changing the duvet
The Aritzia TNA Butter line is the closest to the Aligns that I have found! Love that line :)
The hubs and i sleep with separate blankets of our choice, it was a complete game changer 💯💯 not aesthetic at all but sleep is A+++
When I struggle to commit to exercise, I ask myself "What Would Allana Do?" And then I tell myself that most of the time, Allana would probably get out there and, well, just do it. So thank you for being such an amazing and relatable and inspiring person. Your vlogs give me so much more than I ever expected. And home made granola is. The. Best. 🤌
Team blanket ppl over here! I’m so over the duvets and am definitely a hot sleeper too. In the summer I just use the flat bed sheet 🛌
I think you should definitely try a quilt, or one of those cotton waffle weave blankets. I usually rotate between the two depending on the season. HomeGoods/HomeSense usually has some really affordable quality blankets!
I’ve also just used my H&M linen duvet cover without an insert in the summer and it works just as well
Yes- top sheet light blanket and quilt person here. I like the comfort & more tailored look and definitely lack the patience to wrangle weekly the duvet out/back-in 😖
I just adore Meryl ❤. Spring is my favorite time of year, and I also like a good basking. Definitely think you could rock the shorter shorts, however I understand about how clothing feels/fits. Loved the Tuesday makeup look, looking forward to that video.
Haha laughing so hard at your duvet dilemma. My spouse hates our duvet and we are truly looking at quilts instead, especially for summer. I love the coziness and appearance of a big fluffy duvet but we're at our wits end! 😅😅
Yep right there with you 😂😅
Yes! I completely stopped using a duvet (we call them doona's in Aus) cover years ago. It's too annoying so I bought a couple of heavy linen throws (French flax) from Bed Threads. One is in a gorgeous terracotta shade called Pink Clay and the other is sage. They're huge so they cover the whole doona. Problem solved... I've been making granola for 20 years and i like it nutty so i don't grind any nuts. Macadamias are a must. Also add some shredded coconut to the toasted mix and it's even better. Don't put them in before roasting because they burn.
In the summer we just use the duvet cover as the blanket - don’t stuff the inside part in
I love my beyond yoga leggings. They’ve held up through 4-5 years of gym use multiple times per week.
I love how she called her 4 waffles a waffle. Gonna start doing that too. 💁🏽♀️😂
I’m 47 and have never owned a duvet and cover. I’ve just always had comforters that can fit in a washer.
Weekly vlogs >>>>>> ❤love you from 🇮🇹
🥹🥹🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
Blanket for the win ! Also run hot ! Maybe get a chili pad or I think they renamed to sleep me ! It’s amazing.
Omg I'm so into these vlogs I knew you were going to say tennis tournament. I watch them while I cook dinner and It feels like FaceTiming a friend 😭🩷
Honestly I’m over duvets altogether. I did it for years and dreaded it like you do after laundry. Switched to a very lightweight quilt from Target $40 my hubby prefers it because it’s not as warm. Best decision ever!
Yesss to this!!! Why do we keep doing this to ourselves 😂
Quilt life = best life
We only pull the duvet for the dead of winter. Also waffle blankets are glorious ✌️
Im at the duvet vs quilt rant and absolutely dying. Bidets and blankets honey, free yourself!
I feel you on aligns - and will suggest the long kamo fitness serenity shorts. I’ve got the same thick thigh concerns and love the so much. The buff bunny legacy shorts are good too. They’re not as buttery smooth but they work great for workouts!!
Pottery barn tencel quilt is incredible. We converted from the duvet -total game changer. Thank me later!
The duvet is for when I have a burst of productivity
Yep 😂😅
Allana, girl I’m with you regarding the Lululemon Align shorts (not so much their prices, but I digress 😂). They converted me when I did a Spartan Race and tried them for the first time, and when I tell you those Align 25” held me together, girl…I’ve never looked back and I’ve tried them all. I know the Aligns are mainly for yoga and the Wander are more for working out, but the Aligns are BAE ❤❤
Ugh the price is NOT it 😅 but truly the only piece that lasts and stays and feels like heaven on the butt!! I’m glad you agree!! 🎉
Blanket/quilt girl here. I could never put a duvet on. Too warm and heavy. Lots too chose from for design and comfort. I just use something that’s breathable and light. Meryl is adorable. Also good for you for competing. Your absolutely right when it comes to sports after high school. Have a great day.
I just sleep with a sheet and comforter and add a blanket if I get cold other then that its too hot!
I’m a blanket person!!! The blankets are just cute , I’m a hot sleeper as well and can’t handle heavy bedding
Blanket person here, changed my life. I’m also a hot sleeper and it’s just so much easier, also its’s ‘washable’ so I feel cleaner then when I just wash the duvet cover and not the inner…
Girl! I’m a quilt girlie and it is the greatest. Layer up blankets when I’m cold and just the blanket most of the time!
Also. I’m engaged and want to get married in your gorgeous backyard. Pls and thank you.
Love you since Calgary!
You should try Aritzia’s brand Golden in the butter fabric !! There are leggings without a front seam also.
i’ve never had a duvet, i just buy comforters that fit in a washer
I am a blanket person in the summer and quilt person in the winter with a weighted blanket and will probably always will be lol
In the summer I use the duvet cover only and keep the duvet itself shoved away in the closet lol
Great vlog, Allana! Lol when you were doing the dishes I had to look up “garburator” - never heard a garbage disposal called that before 😅
I only sleep with a blanket. I've never done what you do lol.
Just blanket people… nope! I love the way my bed looks with all the pillows and fluffy comforter on top it looks so cozy and warm.
The look is fab but the UPKEEP 😅
Just have to say I totally get not keeping up with the kitchen routine. Its so hard!!!
Those pesky attack hairs!
I’ve used a duvet cover twice. Then, because my husband and I both snuggle with our top layer, I made simple quilts out of flat sheets for each of us and ditched even the top sheet. so much easier!
Ok, you're really making me want to take up some tennis 🎾 lessons 😊. Great job, Lan 👍. Loved the green 💚 top you wore with Lululemon bottoms. That was so sweet about the florist. I'm going to have to take a whiff of the new Miss Dior perfume. The plane story cracked me up, lolol. Totally me. The only thing I ever use on my hair besides a blow dryer sometimes are hot rollers and velcro. I have a few "packs" of the velcro and i love them. They come in all different sizes, but always use the biggest on top of my head. Now, for my bed, I switched from a duvet to this kind of weighted comforter, but the material is AMAZING...not too hot and shaped so it doesn't pull one way or the other when my husband and i are sleeping if that makes sense. It's a "special design". So glad I switched. It was only $250 @ Target! Great find. Love ya's loads xoxoxo 🤗
Endy has the best duvet covers and they all have zippers! It’s a life saver haha
Need this 😂😂
Deep relate to the existential dread of perpetual dishes and laundry 😩 thought I was the only one thinking about this 😅 I’m thinking of migrating from doona to coverlet for said reasons outline by you.
So funny about how maintaining is a full time job - I got laid off two months ago and keep wondering how I had time to cook and clean and do laundry (and workout) while working 40+ hrs a week bc now it feels like my days are so full lmaoo.
Peter Pan said:” Don’t grow up, it’s a trap!”😅 FYI: have you ever been tested for Fibromyalgia? I’ve been watching your vlogs for 10+ years (!) and all of your complaints, pains, stiffness, hips, eyes, tiredness etc. are 100% my life with fibromyalgia (a type of rheumatism). Hope it helps you looking into it💕
Honestly I see Sasha Exeter talk about this all the time and I thought hmmmm this is sounding like me 😅 need a family doctor sos help lol
And I’m so sorry to hear that this is what you go through 😭😭💗💗🫶🏻🫶🏻
My two cents on duvets... hate them. I have a beautiful linen quilt for summer and I put just the duvet insert between the flat sheet and the quilt during the colder months. It's that or a comforter.
Haha I was just going to say before you mentioned children….should you decide to have them…x10 the laundry and kitchen cleaning 😅🤯
I sleep duvet in winter and quilt in summer. But I am thinking of switching to quilt year round.
I love how much you love tennis❤
Omgosh I will be dreaming of that waffle tonight, looked delicious
🧇🧇🧇🧇🧇
loling as you pour your berries onto your waffle in heat to toe white
Okay I need to see this Charles leclare video because I always say his name, just randomly, and so horribly pronounced, and now you’ve made me lol twice before 8am while I have the F1 qualifying on in the background. Thank you for sharing these weekly vlogs, they really bring joy to my day!!!
The navy with your hair is stunning!
Thanks gal 🥹🫶🏻
I think it's a very Canadian thing to be like "I'm going to DIE without a duvet", just made the switch to a comforter for the warmer months and I'm loving it.
I adore your vlogs so so much!!! Kisses from Greece!!!
Comforters are so underrated!
You're literally the only person that can sell Lacoste to me. When I think of them I think old men in polo shirts playing golf. But those Lacoste fits you show so cute!
You can try Titika for workout clothes. I heard they’re pretty good. I’ve never tried them though.
I have been going back and fourth about switching to a blanket lol
Charles Leclerc! I was in tears too!!! my partner did not find it as funny as I did, not impressed I'm so glad it had you in tears also
Also have you tried active wear from Oner Active? Their sport bras are the only ones that have been wide enough for my arm pits thingies too👍🏼🙈I only use their leggings and bras!
Would love a review on some tennis sneakers!
I switched to a quilt a few years ago and HAVE NOT looked back! I live in PA for climate reference 😊
