Octavia with the classic style, Caribbean meals and thriving private relationship. You’re THAT girl. In my own way I want to be like you girly lol
Awww you’re sweet but yes… I love it here
@@OctaviaB aww yay! Thank you for responding 🤍
Niece you're not giving Justin you are giving Audrey Hepburn breakfast at Tiffany's with the whole classic look! Love it!
Aww 😊
Exactly! I saw Audrey Hepburn when she combed the hair 😍😍😍
yes very classic!
She's literally the only person I can watch over and over again without getting bored or tired 💖 you inspire me sm w my channel 💖🥰🍓♥️♥️🥰♥️
Thank you 😊
Sameee! 🤎
Same here
Omg I feel the same way
Literally! 😊
Listen now Ms Octavia u better give us a cookbook by the end of the year 😂 don’t underestimate your cookin abilities & stop playing with us!
I better lol
I love when you said we don’t live our lives to make others happy as long as we love it regarding your hair I love that moment 🤎🤎
Periodt haha
But seriously, it’s important to not do things solely to please other ppl
Octavia you remind of the women I admired as a child in the 90s 🖤
This is such a huge compliment, because those women are my role models in life and everything that I do
@@OctaviaB you're it, its a huge inspiration I love your videos
30+ minute vlogs! we are spoiled rotten by Octavia
A new generation of West Indian women (Caribbean women for the ones who don’t understand). We don’t have to be hard and ‘Rah Rah’. I love you for us❤
true that! thank you so much !
A little fun fact: since the 1st time I watched Octavia cook Mackerel, it's become 1 of my all-time favorite dishes! Hence, I had never heard of Mackerel before then. 🥰
That is my absolute favorite. It’s snowing here today in New Jersey and I might just make some.
@@OctaviaB ooohhhh...if you do, please film it 🩷
the cooking portion has become my favorite part of your vlogs
I love cooking for you guys!
I love this pixie on you and the part! I want to cut my hair again so badly but It’s so hard finding a stylist in NJ that I enjoy. And need I mention your cooking segments are satisfying! ❤
Thank you so much!!
Yes, finding a good stylist is key I go to the urban Rose salon here in Jersey City. But I hear if a young lady in Brooklyn that does a phenomenal job.
@@OctaviaB thank you for sharing!! I’m definitely taking notes.
Not you saying baby's breath smells like literal doodoo I screamed 🤣🤣😂 You always make me laugh and it's always a pleasure watching your vlogs 💕 You're my fave bougie & beautiful cousin (in my head hehe)
lol 😂 it does
But thank you Nia! you’re so sweet
Loveeeee this kind of videos....🤗👌💕 The cooking, errands, cleaning....all of it!
Love always from Nairobi, Kenya 🇰🇪
Thank you so much 🤗
Yes I agree she keeps everything real and simple!!! Thank you Octavia!
Thank you 😊
Loved this long vlog and all the cooking!! Also Octavia, I used to hate yogurt and what I used to do is add a tiny bit of stevia or some kind of sweetener and it makes it taste a bit better (the texture and the tanginess). Now I love yogurt on its own!
That’s a great idea because what I don’t like about yogurt is the tangy at the end? I don’t like tangy anything so the granola does help to mask , but I will try the Stevia.
Literally watch your videos from beginning to end !!! !!! ❤❤
I really love your hair and literally obsessed with your style 😍🔥 also I love your vlogs 🤍
Thank you so much!!
My favorite of ALL TIME!!! 😍 💓 💛 ❤️
Hey Belinda ❤️
Those peels are everything omg life savers
Everything!
I needed a lil peace at work, gworlllll thanks for blessing me
Ofcourse! ❤️
Love the way there was so much cooking in this vlog , gave me some ideas to cook 💕
I'm so glad!
You are always giving that vibes, because you are that GURL❤❤
THANKS BABE ILY
Wow def going to try the grapenut ice cream hack! From time to time I crave it as well. I used to put corn flakes in my ice cream and eat!
Aww thanks a good idea too
Tried the grapenut ice cream unsoaked using the exact same ingredients. Now I just need to try it soaked. It was ok, but that Van Leeuween vanilla cream is 🤩
I can't wait to try the Earl grey flavor
Long time follower, first time commenting because I normally watch you on my tv, but I’ve made it my point of duty to grab my phone today. love your videos, see you next week🥰
I LOVVVEEE Grapenut ice cream! It was my grandfathers fave and living in Brooklyn as a kid, they would have it in the chicken spots...damn what a time lol. They used to have it on ice cream trucks in Flatbush too, truly a classic. I never thought about making it lol
omg I found on ice cream truck in Brooklyn last summer too & I was screamingggg
your banana fritter recipe came in just in time, I was meaning to make some this week 😁
Ooo enjoy
Your meals always looks so good and recipes I feel might work out ok for me. Can't wait to try that brand of ice cream
Yea! Try it out
Happy Monday Octavia, Yippee for today's weekly vlog 😊😊 How was it making grapenut ice cream? I can't wait to see the outfits you got during your city shopping. Sending lots of love 🤍🤍🤍🤍
Thank you!
The vibe in this 😍
Making banana fritters now 😋😋 and def gonna try the grape nut ice cream method I love that!!!
Hope you like it! ❤️❤️❤️
Loved all the cooking portions. Great vlog as always
As usual, great video Octavia! I loved every second of it ❤
Thank you so much!!
@@OctaviaB You’re welcome
So funny when you were cleaning and cutting the meat. I was thinking the same thing you said. Some people are probably disgusted by it lol. I'm Haitian and Jamaican, and we eat meat, but sometimes we take a break for like a week .
My daughter wants to eat more fish or meatless meals.
I just thought it was so funny we thought the same thing .
Great vlog xo 🤗
Hahaha yes Exactly! I love cooking, but I absolutely hate seeing other people cutting meat
Definitely making banana fritters and turkey bacon tomorrow and that chicken dish later this week! Both looked great.
Thank you 😊
The fritters were great! Chicken curry could have been better, due to my cheap curry powder. Will doctor tomorrow with curry from Caribbean store. It was still good though. Thanks for sharing.
"...him alright..."dwl...the Jamaican in you can't hide. Love you Octavia 😍!
lol 😂
Thank you for the grape nut ice cream recipe, I tried it today and it was great!
Great to hear!
Never had banana fritters but I'm obsessed with saltfish fritters
Yes grapenut icecream is a staple for Jamaicans, at least for me and my family ❤️❤️❤️
Love your weekly vlogs
Thank you so much
Thanks for sharing your banana recipe. I cannot wait to try it. Your hair is gorgeous.
Thank you 😊
Local golden Krust has grapenut icecream also some juices from home which are very tasty
MINE DOESN'T :(
The hair joke..lawd mi a dead🤣. I liveeee for grapenut! Gonna try mek from scratch its just heavy cream, vanilla, sweetener and grapenut!
Hahahah 😂
If you put your spoon in hot water it will help to scoop out ice cream in place of scooper
Thank youuuu
Hey Octavia! Like always, I loved the vlog❤
Hey! Thank you so much
I love this idea of making your own Jamaican grape but ice cream. Im wondering if warmer in up the grape nut in the microwave would give it that soft texture you were going for. Im gonna try making this at home.
I’ve actually tried that, but it allowed ice cream to melt way too fast
I'm from Jersey City but moved 20 yrs ago. I'll visit those spots when I visit my family. Thanks for sharing.
Oh nice! Love JC but it’s so crowded now I’m realizing
Oh yes! Ppl from NY are moving there now. It looks nothing like when I was growing up lmbo.
Loool Mr Octavias catching strays there with that caption 😂😂😂❤❤❤
I love grapenut ice cream. I haven’t had it since i was like 15/16. I’m 28 now. I think I’m going to try and make it.
I left Jamaica at that age so when I moved luckily I was able to find Jamaican grocery near me but they’ve been out of grapenut for months 🥹
I absolutely love that ice cream it look amazing.
Thank you 😊
I was watching the vlog on my phone and when you said hey siri what’s the weather, she actually gave me the weather from where I live like I was the one asking 😂
Oh really! That’s so cool
Loved the vlog as usual😊
Thanks Kenya!
Need to try grapenut icecream!
I'm loving the voiceover!
THANK YOU
@@OctaviaB You're the best!
Wagwan Octavia! You must come to the North East Bronx where I live for grapenut ice cream. They're many West Indian markets that sell it, not only that, all kinds of fish parrot, porgie, snapper, etc.. Pig tail, pig ears, makrel. You will have a field day. I shop at the famous SY Grace West Indian supermarket on Boston Road.
Oh you are so lucky. I definitely should make a trip.
Not sure how I missed this video. Just watched thanks for sharing and stay blessed
thanks love!
I swear we could get along cause all the feels we feel is so similar and legit. 😂 I wish I could cook the seasonings make me gag like I can’t be in the kitchen and now I’m older and live alone I am such a sad soul 😂😂😂 (Takes massive bite like cooking with jai “it’s iight it’s whatever”) JESUS typing it out is so pathetic and sad lol. Great vlog food looks amazing as always and love when you upload I play it in the background while doing my own thing or I watch all comfy in bed. Wish you the best! Xoxo ❤
Awww hahaha thank for watching
That pumpkin and flax seed is my favorite granola with yogurt.
sooo good
You keep it real with your followers and that's what i love about you❤️. Continue doing you👍
I appreciate that
@OctaviaB welcome ❤️
Come to South Florida! Grape nut ice cream is plentiful down here!
Your such a beautiful person ❤ your cooking l try not to make banana fritter often it’s so addicting ❤❤ your content.
Thank you so much! Same here whenever I make it I just give it to him. I probably take a bite out of 1 or 2 because I can’t
Hai perfect timing
I LIVE FOR ALL THE COOKING 🫶🏾🤍
❤I like rum & raisin as well
I just looooove watching you cook... THey do have skinless boneless chicken thighs bc I buy them all the time.. but maybe at your Market they dont sell them... (which is a bummer)
That pixie!oh my my just stuuuuuning on that beauty
You’re so sweet thank you ❤️
Lovely vlog Octavia 🥰
Thank you!! 😊
Ooh, you’re making banana fritters. Love them
Enjoy every bit of the vlog..am cooking and watching...real relaxing and good vibes💯💯💯
Thank you so much
Trader Joe’s apricot mango Greek yogurt is also top tier
Haven't had grape nut ice cream in so long. I saw rum and raisen in Walmart
Oh wait! Really
Haagen daaz at target has rum raisin. It’s ok lol
@@NaelTerab I tried a scope it sat in my fridge for 2 months 🤣🤣
Your food always looks so good! Are your wooden spoons from amazon? If so, do you mind sharing the link?
Yes they are but the link is no longer active unfortunately 🤨
Thanks for sharing. I need some inspiration as a mommy to 4 boys I feel like I’m letting myself go. Where did you get the coat from? It’s beautiful. I also went short hair last year and I’m loving it. ❤
Hey love! I get it ✨
So my coats are from OTHER STORES
I’m in Dallas and for the life of me I can’t find grapenut ice cream anywhere!! I’m gnna try this cause I have been CRAVING my grapenut ice cream.
girl try it! its good enough lol
Same here, I need to have the bone in my curry chicken, Betapac all the way (reminds me of back home). I've been seeing lots of people on IG doing homemade grapenut. I must try it one day. Enjoying the vlog as usual. Tell Renee hi. Take care until next vlog.
🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
That is exactly how I make my icecream with the post cereal without soaking it though. I don't live in the area where I can get my fav so I had to improvise
Hmm I do prefer it soaked for the taste taste, but in appearance, I do prefer the unsoaked version
@@OctaviaB I can see why. Unsoaked is harder on the incisors. Either way it taste so good
I used to eat vanilla ice cream with golden grams
I could literally watch Octavia sleep 😂😭❤️
Hahaha!
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
I love your weekly vlogs! Can I ask where you got the black and gold travel size perfume atomizer?
got it in PR from Jimmy Choo - not sure if its sold on their site
@@OctaviaB Okay thank you!
Waiiiiit, not you saying you crave great nut ice cream, when literally just a couple days ago I wanted it and googled where I can get it. Taste the tropics came up lol
Yes! There’s a place close by in Brooklyn that sells it but I live in Jersey so they don’t deliver here but I might have to make the journey over there one day
I suggest using real good quality vanilla extract. Game changer and so worth the price.
Thank you for this trip and I totally agree. Can you comment a couple brands that you like?
@@OctaviaB Heilala and NEILSEN-MASSEY are excellent brands. I also have a batch i made myself with about 40 beans a few years ago.
Please do an updated bag collection, i saw a Goyard the other day😋😋♥️♥️♥️
It’s actually not real 👀 I got it from Etsy. I really want to purchase an authentic Goyard yellow/gold medium tote though but loved the mini Anjou too (I decided to no longer spend money on mini bags so I got the dupe version )
@@OctaviaB funny its also on my wish list but im not sure of the quality🥹😭
Loving your content as always! 🤍 We nuh live fi please nuh man, dem alright 😂😂
Lol so mi seh to ya
@@OctaviaB Lol
Please consider a cooking channel girl omg you are amazing.
Every now and then we can find Grapenut icecream in my area...and when we do...we buy them all.
I don’t blame you
Seriously giving Audrey
❤️❤️❤️❤️
You are looking super super super gorge!💗
thank you love
One thing fa sho, Miss. O gonna give me some really great meal ideas 🥰
Yes ofcourse! Me and my girls we eat good over here
can I ask where the pot is from that you cooked the curry chicken in?
Cookies! Did you pop in there? 😜😅
All of the meals looked so good, including the ice cream. 🤍
I’m just going to have to request…more cooking vlogs please!!
Ofcourse! They’re back
Can you tell me what Etsy store your Goyard dupe is from? I really like it. Ty.
THE seller is no longer there - I tried going back to the link. I ordered ages ago too so maybe that's why
Hey Octavia definitely need any to try cooking more and want to try a good curry chicken recipe . Can you drop a Jamaican YT cooking channel you recommend ? Thanks !
I actually don't watch any Jamaican food cooking channels at this time but definitely google the recipe for a step by step
What time do you usually go to bed inorder to wake up that early?
11pm or so but trying to change to 10pm
@@OctaviaB oooh. 11pm is tight. I would be exhausted by midday.
Ah the PR packages look nice
Thanks!
Lmao baby’s breath is my favorite flower but true they do smell horrible 😂😂😂
Such a beautiful flower, but I don’t understand that odor lol
Oooh I’m early 🥳
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Now you gonna get me to make that ice cream now lol. Question.. do you still live in jersey or did you move to another state since you have a house now if you don’t mind me asking
That’s okay! So My apartment is still under lease and won’t be up until the summer time so I’m just here in NJ until then
You look amazing
Thanks beautiful
where is your coat from? :)
