it's FATHER'S DAY and I'm COOKING❤️.....vlog 199

[@yarjoshag]

I appreciate this lifestyle. When I was younger used to watch vloggers who would spend their time promoting makeup, clothing, designer items and an extravagant, self serving lifestyle. I used to feel a constant need to acquire the trendy things, and to look like the girls promoting them. I was never content with myself or with what I had. I don't watch them anymore. Thank you for sharing parts of your life with us, it encourages me to acquire skills and to serve others. I appreciate your modesty and how you never emphasis or promote vain things. Love from a 20 year old women from New Zealand.

[@gisellewaldner9406]

Aww my heart, I do know what you mean, I did the same thing but with makeup . I am so happy to hear that you enjoy the videos. Much love to you ❤️

[@summerlake356]

I get inspired by Giselle's attitude about being tired and pulling through anyway. Plus being cheerful...a good/Godly example to follow.

[@gisellewaldner9406]

Thank you for your lovely comment ❤️

[@Golden_Pilot_21]

My mom always used “Skin So Soft” by Avon as a mosquito repellent and another substitute is several drops of peppermint oil in a spray bottle of water for easy application.

[@janicecoulson5388]

I use this too but it but it has to be the Woodland fresh scent

[@Lee-fh2wj]

Cinnamon is a good repellent again mosquitos, whisk together 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon with 4 cups of warm water and let steep for 1 hour, drain the cinnamon water into a spray bottle, add half of a teaspoon of dish soap and a teaspoon of rubbing alcohol to the spray bottle, shake well to combine, this is safe to use on your skin. Thank u for sharing your video really enjoyed it x

[@mollypapazian4423]

Definitely will do that 😮

[@gisellewaldner9406]

now I just HAVE to try this, thank you and I'm glad you enjoyed the video :)

you are most welcome ❤

Giselle happy Father’s Day to your dad and all the dads out there. I love your cook week. All the food looks delicious and yummy. I love Ben and Jerry’s, so yummy. This vlog was exactly what I needed. It brightened my day. You did an amazing job in this weeks vlog. Thank for making this weeks vlog amazing. See you next time.

[@gisellewaldner9406]

You are most welcome 😊

@gilbaum since you live on a Kibbutz; in Israel, ... What has been happening in your community during this current crisis?

[@cordiscoscorner]

A natural way to avoid mosquitos is to sit in the sun not the shade. Mosquitos can't regulate their body temperature, so sitting in the sun helps with that.

[@blueyedmermaid1447]

That is not even true!!. As a person who is highly allergic to mosquito bites. Our yard is loaded with mosquitoes.. and in a completely open sun filled area. And no no open water containers or anything like that or anything to hide under. They just literally are there in the thousands. There are lots of natural methods you can use to deter mosquitoes on your body without using cancer-causing chemicals

[@paulaowens2727]

😊I love learning about your life as a hutterite. Your videos are wonderful!

[@gisellewaldner9406]

thank you so much, I'm so glad ❤🙂

[@joycel242]

This was delightful, Giselle. May God bless your father and all the fathers on the colony. Thank you for these delicious recipes! You are truly a joy in your sharing!

Kona, "Hmm, she's talking to herself again. I will try to look like I'm listening so other people think she's talking to me." 🐾🍖

[@kweemykooffee8058]

LOL! Kona seems like such an awesome pup pal, I bet you're on to something here. TY for the happy thought.

[@kylerford5522]

I don’t have a full formula, but I know one scientist studied a bunch of different natural remedies and concluded mosquitos hate eucalyptus the most. So any formula that includes eucalyptus oil is going to be the most effective of natural remedies.

[@gisellewaldner9406]

oh this is wonderful to know, thank you :)

[@hmccharmedgirl]

Another wonderful vlog! We are so blessed to have you in our lives!

[@gisellewaldner9406]

aww my heart ❤❤❤

[@sarahrickman6609]

I loved your vlog today. We love you all. We finally got a taste of what you all do living as a community. We went to a camp meeting in Arkansas and we got to go to church twice a day. It was wonderful! We ate in a cafeteria. It was a taste of heaven. You all are so blessed! See you next time ❤

[@happycook6737]

Giselle, there is a soap from the Middle East that is made of olive oil and bay leaf. Using that soap made me almost invisible to sandflies and mosquitoes. It also helped my rosacea and psoriasis. I've used it now for 15 years. Often called "Alleppo" soap. It looks ugly brown and turns green over a few months. Smells like olives. Ask at a middle eastern Muslim grocery store or order online. About $3 per bar in the USA. I'm allergic to DEET mosquito repellent. There is a bright yellow plant based spray that lasts 3 hours and stinks of lemon grass and other aromatics but it works.

[@gisellewaldner9406]

thank you for that, I'll have to see if I can get my hands on some.

[@patriciagreene5842]

You made my evening! I needed a faith boost tonight so I’m grateful

[@gisellewaldner9406]

much love to you ❤

[@kvh7625]

What an beautiful song !

[@blueyedmermaid1447]

If you are looking for a fantastic mosquito repellent. Use tea tree oil. Most people recommend you putting it into a carrier oil. And NO .. skin So soft does not work. As a person that is a walking mosquito buffet.. I can literally tell you that it doesn't work cuz I've tried it.
I love tea tree oil I actually use it straight on my skin and on my clothes. But you can put it into a carrier oil like sweet almond oil. Or any other body oil you like. My husband uses it and creamy baby oil that he purchased. I put like 10 drops in it and shook It up. Tea tree oil is relatively inexpensive and will last you a long time.

[@gisellewaldner9406]

we love our oils around here so I'll happily give that a try, thank you :)

[@cynthiacoring8602]

Some of my nuts I don’t toast but I dry them. I like to dry my almonds by heating the oven at 200 degrees for 1 hr. Do not open the oven after you turn off the heat. Allow oven to cool then repeat the same process. The almonds crunch but are not toasted.

[@debrachan1899]

I love cook week! I also love a good thunderstorm! The muesli looked so delicious 😊the Father's Day menu looked great ! Thank you

[@gisellewaldner9406]

[@KarenBryant-qv9nm]

Thank you.

[@victor4sodor]

Mosquitoes hate tea tree oil. I diluted some in argan oil and used it for the kids. It works really well.

[@CarinaPiersay]

I enjoy your cooking vlogs! I get ideas to cook here. That lightning ⛈️ storm was BEAUTIFUL!!! Thank you for sharing your life. Without your videos I would have no idea that about the Hutterite lifestyle. Not into potatoes? I could eat them everyday!! Did you know that a medium size potato has seven grams of protein?

[@gisellewaldner9406]

I'm so glad you enjoy them, I have the time of my life making them :)

[@CarinaPiersay]

@@gisellewaldner9406 do you have any birthday wishes?

[@kerryverity963]

Hi Giselle, in the Adirondacks they use one part vanilla extract and four parts water. It has to be pure vanilla extract. I have heard this works great. I’m going to be trying it for the first time myself. Good luck 🍀

[@K_C83]

MooGoo TailSwat spray All natural and even gentle enough for babies :)

[@user-ef2se7hs2b]

You can try taking garlic supplements. Thats what we do in the south👍🏻 in truth... Mosquitoes are attracted to your breath and body heat.... so the idea is that when you take a garlic supplement there is a certain level of scent of the garlic that comes through on your breath in the mosquitoes do not like it. I love your precious videos❤❤❤ you are so sweet and it is just so fun to watch! Thank you Giselle😊

[@juliel3019]

I love your videos 😍 and the singing at the end is great!! X

[@bettyhilyer1684]

I enjoy the cooking Videos sooo much...but i believe the sewing and craft one better!! God bless you and yours!!

[@bettyhilyer1684]

Ohhh question how do you make your drone flyover scenes??

[@gisellewaldner9406]

I fly a drone, I'm not the best with that type of thing, but I borrow one from someone and had to learn, now I enjoy it. 😊

[@happycook6737]

I'm assuming the colony hasn't got a "radish inspector" so don't worry. The salad will be great even if a few are cut sideways. 😂

oh you got that right 🤣

AVON: Skin So Soft. This is a forever hack that many swear by. Get the original scent. I'd layer, bath wash, oil and lotion. I need to try it myself: MN, 10,000 lakes and a billion mosquitoes. 🙄😊

[@hanna4617]

Interesting with a Canadian icecreambrand with the swedish name for snow 🤗 ”snö” happy fathers day kind regards from Sweden ❤

[@annitaphillips3038]

Skin so soft from Avon. It feels nice on your skin and smell nice to.
For mosquito repellent.

[@karlapatterson7194]

Your Father's Day dessert was so beautiful! I so appreciate all the hard work you do vlogging so we can have a glimpse into your life. I love that you give us the word of God, too. We get to look at beautiful food and have our souls fed also.

[@sandyamckaysmith4251]

Does your colony ever do up cookbooks? Your food is so doable and I know it would sell well.

[@gisellewaldner9406]

we do have one, the information is in the community section post, it's a picture of cookbooks :)

[@donaleeslack4925]

Cinnamon and lemon grass and water in spray bottle shake well😊😊

Another video horray. Thank you so much Giselle for posting another video. I love to see these kind of videos. And the ideas of meals you have ❤

[@marlanebraun5635]

a belated Happy Father's Day to your dad. the food always looks sooo good!!! i wish i wasn't such a picky eater! our weather has been very hot here in Western NY. i dislike summer more as i get older/old. lol! thank you for such refreshing vlogs! when i was a child in grammar school, we were taught to sing Silent Night in German...i don't know why. we were also taught O Come All Ye Faithful in Latin. that was what it was like in the very early 50s in my area.

[@gisellewaldner9406]

the heat is a tough one, we have to get up early to go to the garden quite a few times because we have people that can't handle the heat.

[@kelly5255]

Please, please do an entire video on just kefir water. Explain how take care of the kefir beads. The entire process of making kefir water, from first steps of starting 12:43 to bottling it. Everything in between.

Avon, Skin So Soft, is an AMAZING oil. It doesn't have any of the chemicals that repellents have. I coat my 4 kids in it, when they go outside to play. I don't like all the chemicals either.

[@Ater_Draco]

Beautiful lightning storm. We're expecting one here soon, it's been so muggy

[@bridgwll]

Citronella plants, candles, coils. Are all natural to repel mosquitoes. Definitely get the plants. You pot them & move them as you wish.

[@taylordickinson7544]

Skin so soft by Avon is an amazing bug repellent!

[@marshadewey7432]

Cabbage steaks sounds good. 😊

[@gisellewaldner9406]

It is 😊

[@leonorgrandle5960]

Try Avon skin so soft body splash. Or just the original formula. It has a scent but is known to keep mosquitos away.

[@susanr791]

Beautiful video!! Loved the ending of the thunderstorm and singing! As always love the ending song and Bible verse.

[@jodicanning6509]

I'm a new subscriber so I'm learning about your family. Are your parents still married? I may have missed you talking about your Father? My parents and my Sister are in heaven. I miss them.

[@julieready2783]

Mosquito rapellent - Get some citronella essential oil then put it into a spray bottle with water and spray before you go outside, I think thats natural and it works great!🦟

[@MidnyghtGamer4944]

The Ben & Jerry's O Conada ice cream is aweome. I't's my favorite of theirs next to the 1,000,000 flavours they used to have.

[@gisellewaldner9406]

It does sound wonderful:)

[@candimclane6739]

I just saw this tip for mosquitoes.Apply pure vanilla extract with a cotton ball on your skin.Hope it works! Hugs from Missouri 😊❤

[@user-ef2se7hs2b]

I've been watching a lot of your videos from the past and catching up. It's so fun to see you living a productive... Peaceful and joyful life... Its inspiring! ❤ this is off the subject of this video. I was just putting some aloe vera gel on my face... And it made me think of your lovely face. I've noticed that every now and then you'll have a small breakout. Where is, most of my life I have dealt with acne that has scarred my face. And even now that I am in my 50s I still have breakouts. Those of us who struggle, know that it comes from the internal part of our self it is not because of unclean skin. Anyway, I wanted to pass this on to you and any others who choose to live homeopathically as I do, to heal breakouts or to even stop them from happening, I have found that if you cleanse your face and then immediately put aloe vera gel on the areas where you are broken out or tend to break out... it will heal as well as prevent future breakouts. Please understand that I do not mean to make you feel awkward in any way I am just hoping that I can pass on something that I have learned that really works for me. And I hope that it works for you and any others that have been wondering what they can do. I'm Native American so I also live a life where we try to heal ourselves mostly with natural herbs, Etc❤❤❤

[@jch1965]

Enjoyed the lovely vlog. Always enjoy your cook week. 😁🎊

[@gisellewaldner9406]

yahhh ❤

[@christineiscrocheting]

Such a great variety of foods ~ love that you show the veggies you used from the garden👍
Thank you for catching the storm you just knew was on its way 😀

[@gisellewaldner9406]

those veggies are my favourite part 🙂

[@MissNCGirl]

Badger Balm makes a great all natural bug spray! It works on Florida bugs.

[@gretchengraham6266]

I had friends who took garlic pills or ate a lot of garlic and never got mosquito bites!

[@gisellewaldner9406]

we are into the garlic honey around here, a lot of us put it on everything, although I don't eat it everyday so maybe that is why I don't notice a difference.

[@cindiallain8542]

Hi Giselle, did you know if you rinse leafy veggies in salt water, it helps to get off the bugs. The wrap sounds delightful. Do those gloves you’re wearing help to prevent cuts? I hope you aren’t coming down either anything. I’ll look up a recipe for you and send it later, for mosquitoes. I have it I just forget to mix it up. So I stay in. In Wisconsin we have had storms on a daily occurrence. I love listening to them. So relaxing. Thank you so much for the video. I loved it. Hello Priscilla! 👋

[@kweemykooffee8058]

Storms in WI this year for real! 5 tornadoes touched down the other day. Am kind of amazed we still have a roof! Many prayers for those affected here and all over "tornado alley". Many have been hit, losing homes, barns, and worst of all, lives. TC

[@frankfurtonfoottours2361]

For mosquito bites, you can get these small devices that will make them stop itching. It uses heat and works really well. I think it is called Bite Away? I have one and my neighbor has one and she said it is great for the kids.

[@juliefowler4660]

We use vanilla body spray or vanilla on a cotton ball pinned to our clothes to repell all sorts of bugs❤ The music is wonderful ❤

[@terrymatuozzi1504]

Great 🌩 storm. ❤❤❤

[@aspenenglish4976]

It looks so incredibly peaceful and beautiful on the colony. I think I could wear dresses every day. The only thing is I’m an extremely picky eater and have extreme allergies. Johnson and Johnson baby cream in the green bottle acts as a mosquito repellent. It’s has nothing dangerous in it because it’s made for babies. Lovely video as always.❤️

It's about time to open the pool!!! Happy summer ☀️ 😊

[@wendydixon7534]

I would recommend an oil called skin so soft for the mosquitoes

Another lovely vlog! I flavoured my water kefir with red grapefruit juice this time. I don’t recommend it. It’s kind of bitter. I will drink it because I don’t want to waste it.

On a normal week, how do you decide where to sit with meals? Is it assigned? Do you sit with your families or age group?
