Oh yes! I'm a true witness to you inspiring, uplifting, and encouraging us "older women". You have a certain presence about you that draws us in 🥰🩷🥰 Your whole aesthetic effortlessly draws me in! And I'm almost 46 years old 😘
Girl, I used to not care for salmon either, but I put olive oil on it and season it with some lemon pepper and smoked paprika. Put it in the oven on broil on high for about 4 minutes then flip and cook for about another 2 minutes. Take it out and put some minced garlic, balsamic glaze and honey over it and put it back in about 1-2 minutes (I turn the oven off and just let it cook that way). Try it! Air fryer works as well on 390 degrees for about 6-8 minutes.
Hi Tavia , I’m in🇯🇲 and I look forward to seeing your vlog on a Sundays,I could be your mom but you are very inspiring and fresh, I try to get one of my niece to watching your channel because of your level of self esteem and your values and attitude….in short your transformation,,,, loads of blessings.
53:54 You add value to my Sunday each time you post. Your vlog starts my Sunday reset and initiates my self care time. The time I set aside to refill my cup I poured into everyone else the past week. ❤
Mi just love this lady right here. I'm happy you got your health status, you're going to be fine. Listen O, you're different and thats what we all love about you. ❤❤❤
Coming from a long time subbie, I agree you are definitely an amazing and inspiring woman. I’m a more seasoned woman and you’ve definitely given me advise and POV that I may have not seen before. And for that I so appreciate you. We’re never to old to learn and/or be inspired. Keep being the light that you are Octavia 🌟.
Thanks for the vlog, I am glad you are eating spinach because it will help with your iron. TMI warning, I use to feel weak with losing a lot of blood from my period and it turned out I was anemia from uterine fibroids. I had to eat iron supplements until the issue was resolved.
My hair has been breaking and shedding in CLUMPS! I cut so much off thinking that it’s damaged but you just reminded me that low iron causes shedding and breakage. I am also anemic so it’s time for my annual round of liquid iron supplements. To health food store I go! It makes all the difference!
Girl, I’ve been cutting my hair excessively because I thought maybe it was damaged but it’s definitely due to the low iron which my doctor confirmed. Im definitely gonna get back to my supplements as well
Woohoo here for the long videos! Just an fyi putting moisturizer and other products on top of sunscreen can reduce its efficacy. It should be the last step in your daytime routine.
I literally was in a funk today and feeling super unproductive. After watching you I feel so much better and ready to get things done. 🥰 thank you for your content over the years they give such life 🤍
I love your short hair on you. You should try Nairobi wrap foam. I use it on my clients. It has a very good hold but doesn’t make the hair hard. Also your first wrap can go under your chin then the other two. That way you can untie it from around your neck!🥰
Hi, enjoyed the longer vlog. Looking good in your all black as usual. That chili looked so good. I realize I like salmon better when done in the oven with a nice sticky teriyaki, honey-glazed or jerk sauce.
I could tell when the Celcius kicked in.🤣🤣🤣 You rocked it in the gym!💪 I think I'm going to add some Jamaican songs to my gym playlist. I don't like Salmon either. But I force it because it's so good for our bodies. At Whole Foods, I buy the smallest piece I can find because I want to eat it in one setting.
I just love your bravery (Octavia Brave?) with showing us your lifestyle and giving us some tips. That headwrap, lawd Geezus haha. I cried with the peace sign @ sleek. Love it!
I absolutely love your videos. I do have to say, the pixie haircut is your haircut!!! Please keep this look. At least for awhile, you are a true beauty gem! From your 🇧🇧 Aunty in Boston 🤗
Thank you! I love it also but I have since gone way shorter than what you saw in this video because of all the breakage I was experiencing which we’ve now discovered is due to the low iron. But hopefully it grows quickly
Look up low ferritin levels, it’s almost like being anemic but it’s just a tad diff. Most docs don’t run tests on them, unless you request for it. I had the same symptoms plus, no sleep, agitated, anxiety and depression. I’ve been on ferrous sulfate and it has dramatically changed my life.
Hey Octavia! I've enjoyed watching your vlog and as someone who is older than you, you have helped me with things about fashion and self care/love. Take care and keep doing what you are doing cause you are great at it!
Your Vlogs are such a vibe!! I love watching them getting all kinds of inspiration. I have been debating on that Makeup by Mario foundation and sense we are close in skin tone I know what color to try now!
I literally just experienced this last week! My phone stays on DND and I turned it off but I didn’t turn off silent mode 😳. So I missed the call! I called back foe times 😂 because I started to assume the worse 😬! I’m still waiting for the call back… Thanks for sharing that part in your Vlog no I know I’m not alone and feel better 🫶

Hey Octavia, where did you purchase your stand dryer? Looks super compact and useful..

Dear Octavia, I really like your style. Minimalistic, refined, chic and kind of effortless 👌🤍 I was wondering what kind of books you read and do you love arts ? Because there is nothing hanging on your white walls. Xoxo from Belgium 😘
Hi Octavia, Cumin is the missing spice that makes chili taste like chili. Look up a traditional recipe and you will find it. I was blown away when I realized that after years of making Chili without it. Thinking chili spice the spice that made that taste.
I did actually add cumin among all the other spices ( forgot to say that) I did notice it was added to all the recipes that I looked up so you’re definitely right
Hey Octavia. I love your videos especially the aesthetics and just how vulnerable you are. Also I tried clicking on your link but it didn’t work. Can you tell me where you got your coat from?
This is me coming back to remind u abt the cookbook 🙄lol. Also u know you’re a pretty girl when almost all hairstyles suit u cause I can’t tell if I prefer the pixie over the weave, they both look so good & YES, that adult pride u feel whenever u do your grown up tasks >>
Hi hon hope you are feeling better. Allergy season is no joke. Badly affects myself and my kids.......my son has it so severe I took him to ER twice, Urgent care once and Pediatrician twice. All this in less than 3 weeks. He has bumps all over his mouth and wake up everyday with a swollen eye. Take care of yourself. My allergies caused me to get a sore throat. You can take an allergy pill that has the decongestant, also the nasal spray is helpful and eye drops. That's what I use. However I have seen some scary stuff in the news regarding eyedrops so I have left that out.
Thanks love! Sorry your son and yourself are suffering from allergies as well - it’s tough but only a few more weeks to go until we can enjoy the outdoors
53:00 it’s easy to support authenticity ❤ but I don’t know if it’s just me, I’ve been curious all these years what the “B” in Octavia B stands for lmao 😂 😂😂
I love how you don't edit out the silly little things. It makes the vlog so relatable
❤️❤️❤️

Oh my goodness am hour long vlog???
Couldn’t have had better on this chill Sunday evening.
Love you Octavia ♥️♥️♥️
Hope you enjoyed it!❤️
I love when you do long vlogs and you're so relatable even with the little things like gym and nail shop experiences .
Thanks love!
Try chlorophyll liquid drops, red meats/organ meats, dark green leafy vegetables and beans to increase your hemoglobin.
Oh and supplements of course.

An hour omg!! You just made my Sunday 😭👏🏾👏🏾.
I’m happy ❤️
Just what I needed for my Monday after work blues. I'll never take for granted the comfort that RUclips channels offer
❤️❤️❤️❤️
I appreciate your chill vlogs like this one just as much as when you take us around with you to events or content creator trips💕

Aw glad you’re feeling better! Yes, I’m chowing down on that spinach salad daily plus my supplements so I’m hoping to be feeling better soon also
A whole hour :) yay! Happy to see you Octavia.. have a blessed week ♥️
You too!! ❤️❤️❤️
Omg the foundation alone looked so beautiful 😍 . I love foundations that don't wash out deeper , melanated skin tones .

Thank you for watching ❤️

True! Thank you
Ugh I always get so excited when you upload🙌🏾 I love your content 🙌🏾💞

Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi, enjoyed the longer vlog. Looking good in your all black as usual. That chili looked so good. I realize I like salmon better when done in the oven with a nice sticky teriyaki, honey-glazed or jerk sauce.
Hmmm I’ll try that recipe out but I can’t stand the fish but then I don’t cook it well

Don’t ever say that you’re a waste of space!!! I’m much older than you and I love your content. I’m a Jamaican born in England! Keep up the good work.
Obsessed with your vlogs all the way in Africa❤️.
Yay! Thank you! Love you guys ❤️

Hey Octavia. I love your videos especially the aesthetics and just how vulnerable you are. Also I tried clicking on your link but it didn’t work. Can you tell me where you got your coat from?
Aww sorry! The coat is from OTHER STORIES- it may be sold out
This is me coming back to remind u abt the cookbook 🙄lol. Also u know you’re a pretty girl when almost all hairstyles suit u cause I can’t tell if I prefer the pixie over the weave, they both look so good & YES, that adult pride u feel whenever u do your grown up tasks >>
Can you share with us what concealer you were referencing?…I have the same creasing problem
Hi Octavia where did you get your cooking wooden spoons from.
Mi early 2 weeks in a row!🥳
Yes ❤️
Another great vlog I enjoyed every minute of it 😻😻
What concealer did you use, was it also makeup by Mario ?
Hi hon hope you are feeling better. Allergy season is no joke. Badly affects myself and my kids.......my son has it so severe I took him to ER twice, Urgent care once and Pediatrician twice. All this in less than 3 weeks. He has bumps all over his mouth and wake up everyday with a swollen eye.
Take care of yourself. My allergies caused me to get a sore throat.
You can take an allergy pill that has the decongestant, also the nasal spray is helpful and eye drops. That's what I use. However I have seen some scary stuff in the news regarding eyedrops so I have left that out.
Thanks love! Sorry your son and yourself are suffering from allergies as well - it’s tough but only a few more weeks to go until we can enjoy the outdoors
Your hair looks so good.
The Strays was good and not scary at all. I watched it last Saturday
I’ll check it out in the daytime I just don’t like all the eerie music lol
