also- I can definitely relate to feeling down and discouraged. I’m a nurse and the Covid numbers at our hospital keep going up and up. On this exact day last year, I got my first Covid vaccine and remember feeling so hopeful for the first time in months that it was a beginning to the end. A year later and I’m having a hard time grasping onto that hope I had last year. ☹️
With all that's going on and my mental health I'm so so relieved and happy that I've decided to drop Christmas this year all together and my mom supported my decision. Encourage others to do the same if the pressure and stress is too much ❤️ and thank you Lan, I've been looking forward your uploads like never before this December 💛
Can I just say I have been a subscriber for several years but your joy and happiness just brings a smile to my face as I sit and watch through your videos especially blogs!! Thank you continue the great work!! Merry Christmas!
It’s so comforting to hear that others are going through the same exhaustion and fatigue from the past 2 years. Glad you and Dejan are close to family again and can spend some good quality time together! Thank you for Lanmas, it has been such a bright spot to watch your videos everyday! I think those are deer hoof prints in your backyard :) swolfhope
Merry Christmas everyone 🤍✨ I hope you are feeling well and healthy. In these times it is so important to enjoy the time we can spent with out family and I truly hope you are able to celebrate this holiday with your families ✨🎄
Hello Lan 🥰 ohhh my, my heart feels your pain... it's my pet-peeve when people only talk about Christmas in superlatives, when it's such a tough and sad and terrible time of the year for so many.. 💔 Personally, for me, 2021 was by far the worst year of my life so far. It definitely felt like it couldn't have gotten any worse, as if the universe turned against me. *THAT* is why i'm so teary-eyed when I think of Lanmas, and the beauty community in general, which *literally* SAVED me. THANK YOU LAN. You don't even know how much your uploads help me, and many other gals and pals 🥺❤ x sophiebellaby
I'm in the UK and I feel exactly the same. I had a head cold at the end of November which I then passed on to my husband, and then all this Omicron stuff has become a thing, and it all just feels so sad. It feels like we've gone back in time and nothing has moved on. Except now I've had three Covid jabs, and I'm still limited in what I can do. I'm disappointed and angry that we're still dealing with things by locking down or restricting movements, and its rubbish. However, your videos have been amazing at cheering me up and making me feel like Christmas is here. Thank you for always striving to do Lanmas, it has made such a difference these last two years especially! xx
I love these kinds of vids - they’re so calming and make me feel less lonely too. So sorry to hear you’ve been feeling down. Sending you love and best wishes for the holidays 💕 Vanessavitaa
I just put light hold curl cream w/ heat defense on wet hair, brush it thru, divide my hair in half like that and twist each side away from my face, twist all the way to the end. Clip it by the ends onto the back of my head, finish with body lotion and face stuff (about 10 minutes) then take it down, work the twist until it's tight close to the head and loose and big coil at the end, I hit that with a little heat from the hair dryer until it holds the shape. Then I can either leave it like that and let it air dry or I can dry the roots and keep retwisting it and putting heat on the twist and setting more solidly. But I usually just do that a little bit and go to bed. The whole process takes me like 10 minutes at the most plus the ten minutes I leave it clipped at the beginning. I wake up with beautiful curls from the ears down and it's very little work or heat damage. I'm super sensitive cuz I have migraines all the time and can't sleep in bonnets or curlers or anything else. My curls last forever but only look great for a few days cuz I bleach and it gets too dry and frizzy. It's basically the same thing u did here but without the thingy and with a little heat. Although I don't have to use heat at all, it just helps set the curl faster, if I babysit the twists and keep reshaping them until they set, it will work with no heat at all. The inky thing to watch out for is don't twist too tight, it can be damaging and if your hair is fine and you don't have a ton of it at the ends, twisting the ends too tight will make tiny, crimped looking curls. You want a twist that's a big coil about the same width all the way down. Hope that helps someone. It's the closest thing to wash and go my hair will ever be capable of. I have zero time so this has been a huge find for me.
I literally just added that rod thing to my cart bc your hair turned out so well! I love the white elephant jello trick! I hope they were pleasantly surprised! One year a friend brought in just printer paper..like the whole thing package 😂
It’s been a long tough year(s) for us all. I lost my job, my condo, and my health. Getting through with videos and putting on makeup everyday to feel better. Honestly it works. Love the blush and hair. Thanks for sharing your down times, so we know we are not alone. This too shall pass. Merry Christmas 🎄 to you and yours.
Just know that you have been doing an awesome job with Lanmas! And just in general! You work so hard and it shows. I agree with the frustrations due to Covid and it’s so crazy to think what life has become. I’m hoping for good health in the New Year! Celinaalinaaa
So needed to hear that others are feeling this immense burn out and exhaustion with everything over the last two years. Thank you 🙏🏻 all in this together 🥲
Thank for sharing your current well being feelings. But an even bigger thank you for continuing to be so many of our releases from that world with your videos. But please don’t ever burn yourself out for our sake! If you need a days, weeks or even months break from filming then take it! ❤️
You really made me go from "oh i'm glad i didn't buy the heatless-curl thingy" to "yeah man i need that in my life" in like 2 seconds. That Christmas sweater is so nice! ✨ katasalaofficial
Those could be caribou tracks. Elk and moose tracks are similar too. Take a closer look to see if there are dots or dashes under the hoof marks. Elk and reindeer have dashes and moose have dots. Bunny tracks are pretty distinctive, are much smaller, and come in groups of 4. Small rounded paws in the front followed by longer oblong ones in the back. So cool!🦌
I'm really feeling the blues too. It's been a tough time watching things get worse and feel like we're back where we started again. Now we're having the debate over whether or not we need to cancel all our family plans for the holidays, when that's what we've been looking forward to so much. Sending you hugs from afar! hannah_beckett
So sorry you’re feeling down! Just know that you’re cheering up a lot of people with your daily uploads 😍 hopefully the holiday and family time can cheer you up as well!! @sterrrr
Panetton-ay is not only the proper pronounciation but is also (and most importantly) SO GOOD! This panettone appearance just made my viewing experience of this Lanmas edition so much better because nobody knows of it outside Italy but they should because it’s so good! 💕 thanks Lan for spreading the word
Love love love this video and the genuine vibes here. I also totally relate to feeling down with all that’s going on, my thanksgiving and Christmas have been affected by Covid. But your videos always brighten my day❤️❤️ Mackenzieharrell underscore
I love your vlogs so much. Thank you for opening up about how you're feeling, even though I'm sorry to hear that, it's also comforting to know other people feel this way. Happy holidays to you & your fam 💛
In spite of all that’s going on and the extreme burnout we’re all feeling, you continue to make videos for us to get out of our COVID-absorbed bubble and feel normal for 26minutes. Thank you! That’s my tip for mental health right now: practice gratitude! @ sarahrother
you are SO genuine, down to earth, humble and sweet❤with the chaos we're living in and not being able to travel to see fam you're bringing so much joy and energy to our lives. Thank you Allana xoxo ❤jachmino
Hey! you can get these rolls of gels called ND (neutral density) for your windows. We use it all the time in the film industry but I'm sure there must a domestic version that you can easily take on and off. Then you can shoot toward the window but it's not completely blown out with too much light. Have a great day!
Omg! I’m obsessed with panettone. My Italian family eats it around Christmas every year and I actually baked one from scratch for the first time. It makes amazing French toast and bread pudding, and you could also freeze the extra loaf (although I would slice it first.
Slice and toast your Panatone (Italian) and have it with coffee or tea for breakfast. Also makes great French toast!!...grew up on Panatone and Biscoitti!!...always enjoy your vlogs...that you for being so down to earth and being yourself!!...best of the holidays to you and your little family!!
The scrooge Christmas thingy sounds fun. Never heard of it. Panettone is gorgeous. I had my first try last Christmas. My husband makes a bread and butter pudding if any left over or if goes a bit dry. Loving the curls. I want to try but my hair isn't as long as yours. Have a wonderful Christmas swthrt to u, Dejan Meryln your families xxx
Absolutely what I personally needed to hear, we’re in a similar situation with Covid here in Scotland. I work in hospitality management and honestly, trying to be optimistic and stay positive for staff is so exhausting. So ready for all of this to end. Thanks for talking about it, always brightens my day when I see a new upload from you 🥰
I feel this!!! 2 years of feeling like just when things start to feel better we get some news or people start to freak out again 😢 and there's nothing worse than having just a cold or even sneezing and then people judging you so harshly. BUT excited for what 2022 is going to briiingggg Mmadisonsommerr
Love the sweater and the whole hair do. You really pulled it off so beautifully. And Meryl is the best. Hope one day you do a dedicated vlog of her pov and daily life. Would be sooooo cute
You know it’s going to be a good video when it starts with Meryl!! Seeing you celebrating with your family has me excited to see my sister (whom I haven’t seen in 2years) for the holidays 🥰 and as always, I’m very thankful for your honesty and you’re not alone in your feelings ❤️ @iantoanetteg
The robetrick will work even better and it is much more sleepfriendly. I loved your video and seeing you tired after you try so hard to be possitive and share with us all your great energy is just normal and understandable. I hope you will relax a lot after lanmas. Just to show you my love not to make you feel guilty...I miss you most after lanmas, because I love to get used to seeing you dayly.
Thank you for sharing! It’s always a hard month, but this year seems to be just so much worse! Hopefully this is the last holiday season we have to deal with this utter crap!
Love your curls, they look so good😍the whole covid situation and the feelimg of it never ending is effecting everyone physically and mentally but i find that keeping myself busy is a good way to forget what is happening in the world right now. Love your lanmas videos❤️❤️
It truly is hard to believe that we are almost at 2 years and covid is still so relevant!! Everyone please stay safe and have a very Happy Holiday season!! Absolutely love how beautiful the curls turned out!! @lizziedaggs
You mocking Meryl at the end had me DEAD, crackingggg up. And your excitement about your hair hack working (which I am now, per usual, inspired to try) just ugh, love u. Happy holidays Allana, and to her community! @
We’re all exhausted, we’re tired of talking about it, of the constant anxiety, all of it. Thank you for being an escape this month and always. burnidette
I’m sorry that cold you got derailed your Lanmas plans. Thank you for always doing your best to get the videos out for us 🤗 such a mood-booster! And I’m gonna need to get that heartless curl contraption cuz damn 😍 meankitten
Thank you for making me smile everyday during this Lanmas. I’ve been trying to get into the spirit of the season, but it feels harder than expected, and it’s comforting to know others are going through something similar. Anyway, thanks again and Happy Holidays !!
what a great way to wake up and get ready to!!! also your frustrations are completely relatable, it's so refreshing to hear your genuine thoughts (no matter how sad or happy) choijhannah
Definitely try the ilia again on its own! I use it on its own, either blended with my fingers or my beauty blender and both ways I looooove. It makes my skin so glowy & beautiful. it’s my favourite!!
I use the super serum skin tint by itself, without a moisturizer, as more of a tinted sunscreen. I have combination, acne-prone skin and my skin gets too greasy if I use the skin tint with a moisturizer or primer. So, maybe try it by itself...?
I’m in Edmonton, so I certainly feel your frustration with Covid. Our entire family is in New Brunswick - my folks finally got to meet my son for his first birthday… it’s been a sad couple of years, that’s for sure. Thanks for the cheering up! chantelforgie
Thanks for brightening our days with daily uploads 🙂 I feel like the dark winter days are already difficult to deal with, and the pandemic situation on top can make things even harder...
I have not seen my family for two years. I have had a baby during the first lockdown and my parents still have not let my baby. He’s 10 months old now. It is very hard. So glad we all have each other xxx happy holidays guys 💕💕. Lovely vlog as always Lan xx
Hi Allana, i hope you see this. My 10 year boyfriend has cheated on me this month. It s also my birth month. I ve been so devastated, feeling so defeated i could not put those emotions into words. But watching you everyday made me feel like i am having a coffee with my friend everyday for a while. You can not possible imagine how many times you erased my tears from my eyes and put a smile on my face. Thank you for each time you do that. Hope you are having the best day. Love you.
I love love love the jello box idea!! You didn't tell us if it worked and fooled them!!! Love that big candle you got🔥❤ Also, Meryl cracks me up! "What's outside??" My Thomas kitty Meow sounds like, "Moe, moooe, MOE!!" LOL Hope you have a festive holiday full of laughter! 🍻 #Lanmas
I love how relatable this is. This year has definitely set new levels of emotional exhaustion and I think everyone needs to prioritize their mental health and focus on things and people that make you happy. Hope everyone stays safe and healthy over the holidays and into the new year! Kitkatcatie05
It’s comforting to hear I’m not the only one who has been struggling with feeling jolly this holiday season. This used to be my favorite time of the year.. ❤️ sending you love. @ lexusgabriela
I’ve honestly been loving your soft winged eyeshadow liner! It’s so delicate but looks snatched. Obsessed. Also, you are aging beautifully! Xoxo @graceellee_
In every video I'm looking forward to hearing Meryl's meowing, she truly makes my day.🥰Hope you're feeling well Allana and staying positive through these difficult times we're in. I've been feeling quite overwhelmed as well these last few days since I catched a cold and been trying to get myself together. Hope you and your loved ones have a beautiful time together, enjoy Christmas and have fun.❤@anastasia_nastou
It feels good to know that you're not alone with mental health issues during these wild times and to know theres so many people out there struggling right now. Your first everyday may for me was 2020 and your videos cheer me up ever since!! Thank you for being here with us through all of this! ♥ And I loved the heatless waves! Also how did the Jello idea go?? :D janinemizera
Thank you for speaking about how you're feeling with everything going on right now, nice to know we aren't alone in our feelings. This vlog was one of my favorites, and watching you spend some time with your family has gotten me even more excited to spend time with mine this week for Christmas. Sending you my well wishes! 🎄 @sanndracruz
Those prints in the snow look like little bunny's hoppings. I have two bunny's that have their shelter in our backyard but when it is snowing here, they stay close by the warm and far away from the cold. Where is your grey jogging outfit from? It is so nice! (caroheesakkers)
I can totally understand the Debby downer Christmas rut that you’ve been feeling. Sydney, AUS hasn’t been doing well with us getting the most cases with ever gotten after restrictions have eased. It’s honestly made me even more anxious than usual because rather than enjoying these “freedoms” I’m constantly fearful of being a close contact and having to isolate or catching the virus days before Christmas and in turn not see my family. But thank you for your sharing a glimpse of the Christmas joy that you spent with your family, it definitely made my day. Thank you Allana 🤍 Love, @dezzaye x
I totally understand your frustration. I live in New Zealand and we have just come out of a 4 month lockdown and were thinking that's the end of it, but along comes the new covid mutation, which may throw us back into a lockdown (when it escapes in the community). I don't think I could cope with another lockdown 😔😔
Mental health conversations should be had more often, especially in these times where everyone is exhausted and anxious. Sending everyone that feels like that a big hug!
In all honesty I loved that last year there weren't any holiday expectations because nobody was getting together. This year has felt rushed and overwhelming.
also- I can definitely relate to feeling down and discouraged. I’m a nurse and the Covid numbers at our hospital keep going up and up. On this exact day last year, I got my first Covid vaccine and remember feeling so hopeful for the first time in months that it was a beginning to the end. A year later and I’m having a hard time grasping onto that hope I had last year. ☹️
I'm so thankful for LANMAS 😌 Thank you for all the positivity and good vibes 🤗
With all that's going on and my mental health I'm so so relieved and happy that I've decided to drop Christmas this year all together and my mom supported my decision. Encourage others to do the same if the pressure and stress is too much ❤️ and thank you Lan, I've been looking forward your uploads like never before this December 💛

Glad you and Dejan are close to family again and can spend some good quality time together! Thank you for Lanmas, it has been such a bright spot to watch your videos everyday! I think those are deer hoof prints in your backyard :) swolfhope

So needed to hear that others are feeling this immense burn out and exhaustion with everything over the last two years. Thank you 🙏🏻 all in this together 🥲
I I agree with you what that Foundation for some reason it does peel up and you can’t put it With any type of oil
Thank you for your openness and honesty Allana! It's comforting to hear 😌
Those would be deer tracks. I'm like 90% sure.
I'm with you on that! The diagonal pattern suggests it was some sort of ungulate.
My thoughts too. I live basically in the woods and those look like deer tracks
THATS WHAT I THOUGHT
I cannot wait but also sad for Christmas to be over. I also am unironically in love with your Gisou sweater - I need one ASAP.
Thank for sharing your current well being feelings. But an even bigger thank you for continuing to be so many of our releases from that world with your videos. But please don’t ever burn yourself out for our sake! If you need a days, weeks or even months break from filming then take it! ❤️
You really made me go from "oh i'm glad i didn't buy the heatless-curl thingy" to "yeah man i need that in my life" in like 2 seconds. That Christmas sweater is so nice! ✨ katasalaofficial

Hey! you can get these rolls of gels called ND (neutral density) for your windows. We use it all the time in the film industry but I'm sure there must a domestic version that you can easily take on and off. Then you can shoot toward the window but it's not completely blown out with too much light. Have a great day!

I NEED to try this heartless curl method and get more clips! Loved how your hair turned out! allisongavelek

The way your hair looked while you were putting your makeup on (the heatless curls + half pulled back) is SO CUTE on you 😍😍

I feel great. Left my stressful job yesterday. But I'm trying to get interviews in and having to apply everyday
OMG How Did you do your hair ???? I've tried the trick to wrap it 3times and it didn't work .
Please make a video how You did that !!!
Thank you for making me smile everyday during this Lanmas. I’ve been trying to get into the spirit of the season, but it feels harder than expected, and it’s comforting to know others are going through something similar. Anyway, thanks again and Happy Holidays !!
what a great way to wake up and get ready to!!!
also your frustrations are completely relatable, it's so refreshing to hear your genuine thoughts (no matter how sad or happy)

i'm gonna be alone christmas eve and day so it was fun to see you and your family celebrating!
Definitely try the ilia again on its own! I use it on its own, either blended with my fingers or my beauty blender and both ways I looooove. It makes my skin so glowy & beautiful. it’s my favourite!!
I’m so glad this heatless curl thingy works. Heat turns my silver hair yellow.
Love your channel.
Panettone is so yum toasted with hazelnut spread! 😋 you will never turn back after that! X
I use the super serum skin tint by itself, without a moisturizer, as more of a tinted sunscreen. I have combination, acne-prone skin and my skin gets too greasy if I use the skin tint with a moisturizer or primer. So, maybe try it by itself...?
Omg please give us an update on how the jello was received lol! rammska
And I love the Meryl cameos
I’m in Edmonton, so I certainly feel your frustration with Covid. Our entire family is in New Brunswick - my folks finally got to meet my son for his first birthday… it’s been a sad couple of years, that’s for sure. Thanks for the cheering up!

Thanks for brightening our days with daily uploads 🙂 I feel like the dark winter days are already difficult to deal with, and the pandemic situation on top can make things even harder...
You make me laugh so much! Love your videos so much, you always cheer me up!
Loving the dalia blush and all your holiday looks!! Hoping to recreate this evening, fingers crossed!!!! Loved the hair XOXOX
I have not seen my family for two years. I have had a baby during the first lockdown and my parents still have not let my baby. He’s 10 months old now. It is very hard. So glad we all have each other xxx happy holidays guys 💕💕. Lovely vlog as always Lan xx
Hi Allana, i hope you see this. My 10 year boyfriend has cheated on me this month. It s also my birth month. I ve been so devastated, feeling so defeated i could not put those emotions into words. But watching you everyday made me feel like i am having a coffee with my friend everyday for a while. You can not possible imagine how many times you erased my tears from my eyes and put a smile on my face. Thank you for each time you do that. Hope you are having the best day. Love you.
Panetone is italian but is super common in Brazil too! We also have a chocolate version called "chocotone" 🥰🥰
I love love love the jello box idea!! You didn't tell us if it worked and fooled them!!! Love that big candle you got🔥❤ Also, Meryl cracks me up! "What's outside??" My Thomas kitty Meow sounds like, "Moe, moooe, MOE!!" LOL Hope you have a festive holiday full of laughter! 🍻

I love how relatable this is. This year has definitely set new levels of emotional exhaustion and I think everyone needs to prioritize their mental health and focus on things and people that make you happy.
Hope everyone stays safe and healthy over the holidays and into the new year!

That christmas sweater is adorableee! Every year, I forget to buy one for myself and regret it on the day of..
It’s comforting to hear I’m not the only one who has been struggling with feeling jolly this holiday season. This used to be my favorite time of the year.. ❤️ sending you love. @ lexusgabriela
Love the result of the heatless curl on your hair...😊
Panettone is life at Christmas!!! And you pronounced it right when you actual said the ‘e’ at the end! Try and eat it with mascarpone too 🤩🤩🤩
I've been doing the robe belt method to do overnight heatless curls and it's a little uncomfortable as well, but the result is worth it!😍😍😍
Looooooooooooved this one!!!! It was so cozy and comforting 😌
I’ve honestly been loving your soft winged eyeshadow liner! It’s so delicate but looks snatched. Obsessed. Also, you are aging beautifully! Xoxo
@graceellee_
You lip syncing with the cat’s meows literally slayed me!!!! Perfect comedic timing 😂
Pleeease do the rope heatless curls hair tutorial.. would love to see the result!
Lolllllll absolutely loved your reaction to the hair. Love it.
In every video I'm looking forward to hearing Meryl's meowing, she truly makes my day.🥰Hope you're feeling well Allana and staying positive through these difficult times we're in. I've been feeling quite overwhelmed as well these last few days since I catched a cold and been trying to get myself together. Hope you and your loved ones have a beautiful time together, enjoy Christmas and have fun.❤@anastasia_nastou
Your videos are so fun to watch! Keep on going!! You do such a great job!

It feels good to know that you're not alone with mental health issues during these wild times and to know theres so many people out there struggling right now. Your first everyday may for me was 2020 and your videos cheer me up ever since!! Thank you for being here with us through all of this! ♥ And I loved the heatless waves! Also how did the Jello idea go?? :D

Love how Meryl's meows help to brighten up my day. Sending lots of love to you from Germany! @lieselotte93
Thank you for speaking about how you're feeling with everything going on right now, nice to know we aren't alone in our feelings. This vlog was one of my favorites, and watching you spend some time with your family has gotten me even more excited to spend time with mine this week for Christmas. Sending you my well wishes! 🎄 @sanndracruz
just saw that you got micro blading and it looks incredible! i hope that’s included in one of the next vlogs. asealy
Those prints in the snow look like little bunny's hoppings. I have two bunny's that have their shelter in our backyard but when it is snowing here, they stay close by the warm and far away from the cold. Where is your grey jogging outfit from? It is so nice! (caroheesakkers)
Thank you so much for the Lanmas videos!!!
The hair looks glorious! I think the tracks are a bun bun too!
I can totally understand the Debby downer Christmas rut that you’ve been feeling. Sydney, AUS hasn’t been doing well with us getting the most cases with ever gotten after restrictions have eased. It’s honestly made me even more anxious than usual because rather than enjoying these “freedoms” I’m constantly fearful of being a close contact and having to isolate or catching the virus days before Christmas and in turn not see my family. But thank you for your sharing a glimpse of the Christmas joy that you spent with your family, it definitely made my day. Thank you Allana 🤍
Love, @dezzaye x
I totally understand your frustration. I live in New Zealand and we have just come out of a 4 month lockdown and were thinking that's the end of it, but along comes the new covid mutation, which may throw us back into a lockdown (when it escapes in the community).
I don't think I could cope with another lockdown 😔😔
Mental health conversations should be had more often, especially in these times where everyone is exhausted and anxious. Sending everyone that feels like that a big hug!
Anyone knows where to find the Dior lip glow in plum? Cant seem to find it anywhere…
Thanks ❤️🔥
Definitely try making French toast with the panettone! It's amazing!
Thanks for your lovely positive energy 😘🥰❤
In all honesty I loved that last year there weren't any holiday expectations because nobody was getting together. This year has felt rushed and overwhelming.
