I'm curious to know what you thought of Clare's comment about feeling "conspicuous". It seems to be a bit of a complex observation about getting attention.
OKAY! It's good to have a friend that offers good advice! Everyone should have a friend or two to ask advice from! BUT... the world is not just one or two people! The "world" needs room for a few Ciara O Doherty-ies, and Clisares,, and whomever else-es! Taking a bit of advice from your friend is good, but leavening that advice with your own personal experience is better!
Clare, regarding the "I can't do early mornings"...keep in mind "I'm not a morning person" is a real and legitimate thing, as much as "I'm a midday person". My industry necessitates my sleep and work schedules be *extremely* flexible, but I *thrive* when we do night or overnigh shifts and early morning shifts are the bane of my existence. I'm grateful to you, and Ciara for being a sport, for doing this video as it shows we can all learn good/new/helpful things from each other, but that we also need to remember to listen to our own bodies because those are the ones we have to live in. ❤
I had the pleasure of visiting Ireland in 2019. It was my first trip overseas and I'm so happy I got to spend 2 weeks in your country. I fell in love ❤
OH MY GOD!! clisare the benny hill theme music really made this video perfect and don't feel bad about trying to live like ciara and forgetting somethings i tried the tom brady plan and lasted a whopping 44 hours.
Love this. Now do Shannon's routine. 1) it's prob more like yours. 2) she prob doesn't have a routine. Love y'all dolls. Also, Alex's rection to your cocktails is EVERYTHING😝😝😝
The thing I learned most from this video of you taking on Ciara's life for a week.... I don't have to be anyone else, I need to just be myself. So thanks, twas a good lesson.
Before even watching this I am thinking "Are you MAD? The drinking alone will kill ya." Now I'll watch. After watching. Hopefully you learned to let Ciara be Ciara and you be you, and that's ok because you are a wicked bit of awesome.
When you were out in the fog laughing about the beauty of Ireland it reminded me of my trip home from Iraq. we did a layover at the airport in Ireland and it was fog like that but you know after being stuck in the desert for a year the green of the grass and the unbelievably clean smelling air even at an airport I really did think it was beautiful.
This was a lot better and safer than I thought. Living life as Ciara I thought involved drinking grain alcohol through a straw and carrying on like it was water. lol
I love this. I have been looking for a schedule to get myself on cause I have recently retired and have been doing a lot of sitting around. I have some health problems that limit what I can do, but I can probably do this; with some minor adjustments. I will have just as much of an issue going to bed like that. I already get up at 7:30a but don't go to bed until 11:30p, sometimes after 12a. Thank you for sharing your week with us.
The beauty of Ireland, the beauty of Clisare, the beauty of your life. Rejoice in your life, live it to the fullest...and fuck it if shit gets in the way!
The sewing the pockets thing is common for men's and women's coats (every sport jacket/blazer and wool type coat I've ever purchased has had the pockets sewn). It helps them to lay flat and look better when they're on the rack for sale. You are meant to take a seam ripper to that thread to open them up for use.
Loved the journaling in the bath (sorry but you were sliding so low into the water while writing) Loved this vlog and you need to get your husband on the TRY channel trying cocktails.
"wanker level"....yes Clare! Yes!😂😂😂 Even more now, I see how much we are alike😂😂 That's great that people can be so structured. That's just not for me. I know when I have to get things done, but I can't do that everyday. And I have depression and anxiety and noone whether it was a primary doctor or therapist ever said to make my days like that. For me I have to be proud of the small accomplishments. If I missed one of those things it would cause me more anxiety which inturn causes my depression. All we can do is live life how it makes us happy. YOU make me happy Clare ❤️❤️ You , Alex and Millie always make me smile and laugh. For that I'll be forever thankful ❤️❤️
I know you felt pretentious gussied up with the glasses but I think you looked really put together. IMHO, step 2 of this really is a fancy Lady's Lunch with Ciara and that might get you closer to feeling confident and assuaging your embarrassment.
It's a different look for you... but honestly, you pull it off well, you look great! Another look in the tool box... if you've never tried it, dress up like Ciara before you go to an intimidating business meeting. It can give you a big advantage.
Porridge with apple juice sounds delicious thanks for the idea can’t wait to try it. For some reason I just can’t stomach milk nowadays and miss my oatmeal.
I just kept laughing.... great video and eell done on the attempt to live Ciara's schedule. I used to live in Eureka, CA and when you were in the fog I laughed so loud I scared the cat. Eureka is also VERY foggy but it is beautiful. Keep this content coming. YOU ROCK!
Interesting & fun! Not sure I could follow her daily regimens either, not perfectly. I burst out laughing when you said, "look at the beauty of Ireland!" and it was just a mass of fog and grass. 😂
I was so excited to see this video since you mentioned it. I give you props. I love Ciara as well. But I couldn't do all that she does. Lol What a crazy thing think about though. Trying to live the routine of a friend. Even for just a week. Mmmmmm not sure I could sign up for any of my friends rituals. Lol
Clisare (do you KNOW how hard it was for me "a bloody American" not to type CLAIRE"...LOL). I want you to know, that while I appreciate your Ciara doppleganger attempt. You are an AMAZING VLOGer and I LOVE watching you BOTH doing your own thing. You are BOTH, BEAUTIFUL women. Don't worry about being Ciara. I LOVE that you are your OWN SELF. Security in yourself is MUCH more attractive than being "like" someone else. You only have ONE CHANCE at life...Be the best YOU that YOU can be. Love you hon, keep up the content.
As a person from Jacksonville, FL I must say that it never ceases to amaze me when I see so many people in the UK and Ireland wearing Jacksonville Jaguars merchandise. Love seeing my team has fans around the world!!!!
I'm not allowed apple juice because of my medical condition, but it actually sounds so much better than with milk (well unsweetened almond milk in my case). Your eye makeup throughout the video was AMAZZZZZZZZZZZZZING. Just love the colors. Gosh, you and Alex are just so wonderful together and such sweethearts. Please don't ever change.
That was an amazing idea for a vid. Live like Ciara for a week. You are a brave woman to try that schedule. I would have failed miserably. My life is way to chaotic to even attempt a schedule. Love your channel ❤
This routine is not too bad. The walking since you run as exercise can be used in tandem with a meditation for a centering aspect. Well done on the take aways from what you experienced.
@9:32 I'm knew to this channel so I'm months late for this, but all overcoats and suit jackets (for men and women) that are machine made come with a simple stitch closing the pockets, sometimes the back pocket on trousers also. it's to hold the pocket closed as the rest of the stitching is done, else it might be pulled out of shape. enjoying your content, take care. @16:17 you could look into papier d'armenie it's incense paper that you burn, I suppose you could write things on it before burning it?
I've been waiting for this! One of the TRY moments that made me laugh the most was one of the guys (I think it may have been Jamie) was drinking alcohol and alluded to if Ciara could do it then he could, and Brian said to him, "So, you think you can out drink Ciara O'Doherty do ya?" and the other guy responded with "Phbbt" as in, yeah no problem. Brian turned to the camera and went "Phbbt" and shook his head as if to say the other guy had no chance. I laughed SO hard! Thanx for taking one for the team and doing a great job being Ms Ciara! You are amazing as yourself, but you did a much better job than anyone else could at being Ms Ciara...other than Ms Ciara herself obviously. ~Be Blessed
Yaano for all the years your vlogging away its nice to see you still feel abit odd when people are looking at you when your chatting away to the camera 🤣
Alex's mind would be blown if he finds out Ciara puts prunes in her porridge too! 😊 You definitely have your own distinct brand of conspicuous with that awesome rainbow sequin mask you have!
@@Clisare my ex-father-in-law used to (and maybe still does) put orange juice on his cereal. Cold cereal not hot cereal like porridge. I couldn't do that. But I do put yogurt on my cereal and I like bland cereal like cheerios or plain brandy flakes so the fruit flavors of yogurt help.
Clare I thought you might get some diversion from some thoughts from a viewer watching this video (even a year later!) about what I think it says about you and also helped us to understand you, a little better. To begin with it showed me how open you are to life and all its potential . To trying (hmmm) new things, experiences, ways to live, ways to be. And having tried, reflecting on its worth, what you could learn from it, or benefit from it, if anything. I liked how you noted that the beauty treatments made you feel so attractive and then helped you understand that actually, a lot of the time you didn’t WANT to be noticed and that helped you understand that you underdressed exactly because much of the time you wanted to slip under the radar unnoticed. The week living like Ciara gave you the opportunity to step into the shoes of someone who in many ways chooses significantly different ways to living their lives, a much more structured approach, in a way a much more regimented regime. They accept that because it helps them achieve the different goals they have. But you quickly saw that as in most things there’s a trade off. And I could see that that was easily apparent to you once you lived it. You’ve learned a lot but you ALREADY are self aware enough to say, yeah I admire that, but that’s not me. Maybe it’s because you’ve already been engaging in this exploration of different experiences through your videos that’s helped in the self awareness you’ve already achieved. Self knowledge might seem a not particularly rare accomplishment, but from my experience it’s one of the biggest benefits of growing older. Yes that’s right I ain’t no spring chicken. And one thing I learned from getting older is that the best years of your life are not always the ones you think they’re going to be. When I was in my teens I longed to be in my 20s, thinking reaching the zenith of my youth and good looks must make them the best years. No not at all, because I wasn’t very far in that voyage of self discovery that is life. Every turn of the decade, was not welcomed because all I could see was I was just that much further along the road towards becoming OLD. I think many people believe because they are themselves that they already know and understand themselves. It’s not necessarily true. Just as with learning an unpleasant truth about others we care about, it can be easier to ignore or rationalise the things about ourselves that it’s too uncomfortable or painful to see and acknowledge. Sadly some people never really learn who they are, because they lie to themselves. They delude themselves because it makes it easier to accept themselves, just the way they might overlook or refuse to accept an ugly truth of a beloved child. A much loved aunt of mine told me in my late teens that the favourite decade of her life had been her 40s, because she still had the health and stamina from her youth and the self knowledge and self acceptance of herself in her 40s that helped her to enjoy to the full all those attributes of her youth they gave her. I politely acknowledged what she told me with a smile, while thinking this woman who seemed in her fifties to my teenage eyes an ancient age. But surprise, I have to admit that from the perspective of my mid 60s, my 40s also turned out to be my best and favourite decade. I’ve learned to savour every day of life and to live it in the present. I no longer have much trouble enjoying the present. And now in your 30s perhaps you’re seeing the benefits of what you’ve learned about life and your own self worth, while you still have the youth, beauty and good health to make the most of it. From my perspective you’re young and have many years ahead to enjoy the best times of your life. Savour every minute of the good times, because as you’re probably already discovering, it passes by amazingly fast. Best wishes😊
Maybe that's why I am so tired all the time. During weekdays i have Ciara's getting up times but Clare's bed times. Going to bed early is freaking hard!
Live life to the fullest and the way you want to tomorrow is never guaranteed and today is all we have love and respect one another until they hurt or disrespect you then tell them to f*** off and then go about living life again make memories where you can because at the end of the day that's all we have to look back on I love your videos it's one of my highlights of my day....
This was a great watch! Fair play to Ciara with the whole bed early/up at 7am thing, I'd like to take a leaf out of her book there. Also with the daily spf. And a walk first thing 😅 The cocktails and "classic film" made me cringe something mighty though haha. Different strokes..! 😜 Saw the insta photo you took, looked gorge. Loved this type of vid, "doing 'x' for a week" 🙂
I have liked and watched some of Ciara's vids and she is a beauty. However, and this is a big however, she works to hard at it. You are absolutely my kind of woman. You laugh, at the funny and yourself. You are real, beautiful, and wonderfully Irish.
CLARE I have not stopped laughing what have I put you through 😂 When you started crying before making the cocktails I feel so bad 😂😭
Húg taibhseach phrátaí bhean!
Why was there not a react video? Lol
PLEASE you and Clare switch weekly routines with two of the guy tryers, would be hilarious
@@joebaumgart1146 Gorgeous Lady Potato Hug....interesting...or has google translate betrayed me.
@@MrSouthernman73 I'm dyslexic and not a native speaker. It should say Hi Gorgeous Potato Lady!
AGH I’m excited to watch but also low-key scared in case you had an awful week 🙈😂
Now Claire can do Ciara's real week
@@danofyork GENIUS IDEA!!!
Ciara- Irish people try St Paddy’s day cocktails is my new favorite video. I’ve re-watched it so many times now 🤣🍀❤️
I'm curious to know what you thought of Clare's comment about feeling "conspicuous". It seems to be a bit of a complex observation about getting attention.

Taking a bit of advice from your friend is good, but leavening that advice with your own personal experience is better!
I'm laughing so hard. To go on an hour long walk, walk for half an hour and then turn back and walk home. 😂
I hate turning back 😭 it's a wierd thing I have 😂
@@Clisare the alternative is to walk for an hour,and then call Alex to come and pick you up.
@@Clisare Ah, that's fair enough. 😅
@@Clisare I do too! I could walk forever in one direction, but the minute I turn back...I'm so over it.
Clare, you have to tell us if you find another way to do this hour-long walk. Perhaps without the necessary use of a car.
"Fuck it. It's unnecessary." A sound philosophy for life.
Clare, regarding the "I can't do early mornings"...keep in mind "I'm not a morning person" is a real and legitimate thing, as much as "I'm a midday person". My industry necessitates my sleep and work schedules be *extremely* flexible, but I *thrive* when we do night or overnigh shifts and early morning shifts are the bane of my existence.

Damn, I'm so impressed at how vulnerable you continue to be on your channel. Thank you, it's awesome!
Now I want to see Ciara @Ciara O Doherty living for a week as Clare. Of course she would need an Alex who wasn't into it to make it more real.
You & Ciara complete opposites, in the best way. It’s fun to try something different. The story at 11:20 was funny! Keep up the beautiful vlogs.
*The Ciara Manifesto™*
Ohhhhh so Ciara is Superwoman. She's...yeah she's Irish Superwoman. I'm just in awe of her self-control.
I had the pleasure of visiting Ireland in 2019. It was my first trip overseas and I'm so happy I got to spend 2 weeks in your country. I fell in love ❤
Love the Peter Pan collar look!
OH MY GOD!! clisare the benny hill theme music really made this video perfect and don't feel bad about trying to live like ciara and forgetting somethings i tried the tom brady plan and lasted a whopping 44 hours.
"I mean it was like embarrassing and all but like...who gives a fuck? You know what I mean?" 😂😂😂 you're great 😁😁😁.
Clare this was fascinating!! The Ciara lifestyle looks pretty cool. No coffee in the morning would be sooo tough for me. Thanks for sharing this!
Love this. Now do Shannon's routine. 1) it's prob more like yours.
2) she prob doesn't have a routine.
Love y'all dolls. Also, Alex's rection to your cocktails is EVERYTHING😝😝😝
"My bath is full of ash."
🎶 A brimful of Asha on the 45
You’re both great. It’ll be even funnier if Ciara does a Claire week - she’d be messed up too. That’s the point :-)

I've never watched a youtuber I relate to more than you Clare haha, loved this!
You're very different people you and Ciara but it's great how you interact. This was a brilliant video and so funny.
The beauty of Ireland, the beauty of Clisare, the beauty of your life. Rejoice in your life, live it to the fullest...and fuck it if shit gets in the way!

It helps them to lay flat and look better when they're on the rack for sale. You are meant to take a seam ripper to that thread to open them up for use.
After seeing Clisare's reaction I wonder if there are any people who just assume they meant to stay sewn up?
Loved the journaling in the bath (sorry but you were sliding so low into the water while writing) Loved this vlog and you need to get your husband on the TRY channel trying cocktails.
"wanker level"....yes Clare! Yes!😂😂😂
Even more now, I see how much we are alike😂😂
That's great that people can be so structured. That's just not for me.

Wow! That eye makeup makes your eyes so intense! Love it :)
I can see you and Ciara in a Odd Couple type sitcom, or as Irish Holmes and Watson.
You are so open and honest in all your videos. You lift my spirits and always make me smile! Popcorn in the tub?! I'll have to try that!❤
You all (Ciara and Clisare) are so cute.
You be you. Let Ciara be Ciara. Me... I’m Batman! 🤣
you and clara are the reason i watch the try channel so glad you both have your own channels
Great stuff Clare!!!😃😃😃 Alex's reactions were hilarious 🤣😆
Loved the Glamour shots! GORGEOUS!
It's a different look for you... but honestly, you pull it off well, you look great! Another look in the tool box... if you've never tried it, dress up like Ciara before you go to an intimidating business meeting. It can give you a big advantage.

The clarity and honesty of this whole video was really special and a joy to watch. Thank you!
Good job, it's always good to try new things!
You two ladies are such fun to watch! Both of you have great channels that I personally find really entertaining! Great job Clisair and Ciara! 😁
Clare you are amazing and awesome and you are definetlay Ciara balance to the show, i wish to see both you you ladies parter more in the vids!!
Your make-up is great!
Wow. That's a cool image of u on that hoodie.
Your Ciara coat made you look fabulous.
Love you both. Each in your own unique way is perfect ^^

Porridge with Apple juice, I have to try that. Sounds like it would add extra flavour to the porridge
LMAO ... Alex "Thats Got a Kick to IT!" Lets get his a$$ on The Try Channel!
Maybe that's why I am so tired all the time. During weekdays i have Ciara's getting up times but Clare's bed times. Going to bed early is freaking hard!
You would hate my schedule in bed by 11PM asleep by Midnight and up by quarter to 5. Fun to watch
I am right there with you. i hate when other people i dont know are around when i try and vlog in public
My 2 year old son absolutely loves you. Every time he sees you he gets super excited and blocks the screen trying to see you.
Awwwww 😭😭😭😭
Live life to the fullest and the way you want to tomorrow is never guaranteed and today is all we have love and respect one another until they hurt or disrespect you then tell them to f*** off and then go about living life again make memories where you can because at the end of the day that's all we have to look back on I love your videos it's one of my highlights of my day....
Wait...porridge with APPLE JUICE?!?!?!?! BRILLIANT! I'm in!
Alex needs to take his act on the road!
Man, I like you guys, and you totally rock 😊
This was a great watch! Fair play to Ciara with the whole bed early/up at 7am thing, I'd like to take a leaf out of her book there. Also with the daily spf. And a walk first thing 😅
The cocktails and "classic film" made me cringe something mighty though haha. Different strokes..! 😜
Saw the insta photo you took, looked gorge.
Loved this type of vid, "doing 'x' for a week" 🙂
You are so lovely!!! This was very motivational for me, thank you!!!😊💙
Just tell yourself that Ciara is a mutant alien or maybe a robot. Great video !
Dermott from the Try Channel has theorized that Ciara is evolved beyond the rest of us. Watching her outdrink others makes me think he is right.
Truly glamorous. Good job at being Ciara. Maybe move the go to be at 11 get up at 9-930?
conspicuous is a great word
Well done, Clare!!
The structural additions really seemed to do you some good.
Alex will get it in the long run.
I have liked and watched some of Ciara's vids and she is a beauty. However, and this is a big however, she works to hard at it. You are absolutely my kind of woman. You laugh, at the funny and yourself. You are real, beautiful, and wonderfully Irish.
to be fair Ciara is a robot with feelings - this I say with sincere respect to you both 😇
