Jess, my cousin trained at Cordon Bleu in Paris and she told me that spices pretty much never go bad. So long as there isn’t any mold and they’re properly stored, they’re safe to use and consume. The only thing to keep in mind is that once the expiration date passes, the potency of the spice goes down significantly so you’ll just have to use more of it. As someone who is currently using spices from the 90s and is completely fine, you’re good. Lol. It’s still good to add the expiration date though!
Grain is not part of my diet (wheat - not gluten - is a HUGE inflammation trigger) so I found the Siete brand about a year ago. Did you know that Costco has the Wedding cookies, the Sea Salt Chips and the Churro chips. You have to try the churro chips, they're wonderful! Also, the bags at Costco are much bigger so the price/ounce is a lot better. Oh, Costco also carries the Siete brand [almond flour] tortillas. Siete brand for the win!
Thoughts: *I have clothes in my closet for a lifestyle I've never had lol. *Bribing kids for the win! *Salty snacks all the way! I may be part deer. *Aces! You're adorable. *Your face finding the bonus peanut butter cups! LOVE! *Your new spice drawer is SEXY
Ooh Jessica! if you do the herbs with the lights PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE vlog that? I'm interested in doing this too but have no clue how to start! love your channel! ❤️
Yes, being in tbe right mood for cleaning/re-organizing is essential. I just did this, moving over from fall/winter to spring/ summer. YAY for you. Your donate pile will make some young women very happy. I am going to have to give Thrive Market a try. Your snack/essentials hauls always make me peckish...lol.
Thank you for sharing your ‘semi’ messy living room, I always wonder how everyone keeps a immaculate house all the time, thank you for keeping it real 😊
That egg convo was so funny to me. I’m a country girl that grew up raising chickens. They lay eggs regardless, if the rooster has fertilized them or not. But you’re kinda right in that a chick won’t form unless it’s fertilized and it’s been consistently kept warm enough for several days by being sat on by the hen. 😂
@@melissamoeller9608 Haha, gross and I get what you mean! I guess in a way, but to make me feel better I’d say no though . Chickens lay the eggs every single day. Thank goodness we don’t have periods every day. 😂
I loved this part of the vlog too!! It kind of reminded me of the Chicken of the Sea bit from Newlyweds with Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey... but more endearing and even funnier!! BUT.. we are no closer to knowing the answer to the age old question of which came came first, the chicken or the egg...?! Heeheehee... 😂💕
we have 10 hens and get eggs daily. sometimes they try and sit on the eggs but they will never hatch because we don't have a rooster. likely the eggs you buy in the store are fertilized by a rooster but are collected before they can be incubated for enough time for the chicks to develop and then hatch.
I love my aerogarden! I got it when the pandemic started & it’s still going strong. It has its own grow light & the herbs (or whatever you want to grow) only need water & the liquid fertilizer. Nice & contained year round freshness! They have all sizes. I got the small one (in an older design so it was on sale) for $50 & they grow in size to the point you can have your own veggie garden indoors
Love love love Vlogs and please consider filming the prep for your trip because I have a baby and have never traveled far with him because I am so overwhelmed by the thought of preparing for it! Or even if you have tips to share!
We love our aero garden for indoor gardening. Go up a size from the basic and you can grow tomatoes and small vegetables. We also use ours to start our seedlings for our outdoor garden in the summer. We now own 2! Also video idea… full face of makeup from Thrive market.
I’m so proud of you for your continued sponsorship from Thrive Market! You give us so much incredible content for FREE so I always love to see when you get rewarded for your hard work with these big sponsorships like Thrive and Hello Fresh! We all support you and encourage your sponsored videos - you deserve it!!! 😘💛
My fiancé got me an aero garden for Christmas and I love it. 5 months later and most of them are still extremely healthy! Honestly the worst herb we got was the thai basil because it grows so fast and so big it killed out our oregano.. Love your videos!
Thrive Market is great. We have the yearly subscription as well. They have frozen foods section. My husband ordered chicken, nitrate free bacon, scallops and shrimp. All very tasty.
Consider an aerogarden. I use that to easily grow herbs on my kitchen counter. I also use the aerogarden farm xl for growing greens and tomatoes indoors. Very easy to use. 🥰
My now 16 year old daughter gave us a hard time with school, dentist, you name it! Major separation anxiety at play. We bribed her with little stuffed toys. Worked like a charm and we laugh about it to this day. Cute memory that she says makes her happy to remember😊
It is the roller ball in the dryer that rotates the drum. They wear out over time... especially if you dry like blankets and heavier items. We got ours fixed for $100 last year.
It probably won’t be available at your library, but in case you’re really interested in Irish history (especially more modern history), I figured I’d go ahead and recommend Say Nothing: A True Story of Murder and Memory in Northern Ireland. I’ve been reading it that last few months and it is fascinating and eye-opening.
💟For the expiration dates in the future you can just write it with sharpie and then it comes off with alcohol or even a whiteboard marker colored over the sharpie and it wipes right off when you need to update it.
this past year I think the house i live in got to that age where all of the appliances started breaking down because they were all installed at/around the same time, so we've had to replace our dishwasher and have someone come out to work on our washer becuase it was leaking, so i definitely feel you on "when it rains, it pours" lol my favorite thing from thrive market is the balsamic mung beans if you haven't tried them they're SO good on salads/avocado toast/just as a snack
Had to add: If you haven't already, get your colors done! You'll be amazed at how it streamlines your closet and makes clothes shopping so much easier! I am a Light Spring.
Great video! I always have a maybe bin for things I have issues parting with. If I do not go to the bin to find something within a season, I donate the bin without even looking at what is in it.
I really want to organize my spice drawer but I need bottles with the labels on top because I have a vertical drawer. Yours turned out great! I really like the idea of having the expiration dates on the bottom
Jesssss! Omgosh when you were talking about the most annoying sound my brain right away though about Dumb and Dumer when they talk about the most annoying sound 😂😂😂😂😂
Satin pillowcase for the win! I’ve been using one for over 5 years, they’re great for hair and skin. But the real benefit is that it’s so cooling, also my husband now wants one lol
I'd recommend aerogarden. I can't grow anything, but I had a small aerogarden (3 pods) for basil and other herbs, and it was amazing! I only lost it during the extreme humidity of Florida summer... it grew mold 🥺 wouldn't be a problem where you are though. And actually, now that I have a dehumidifier, I bet it'd last year round. I love these videos, despite the extreme difference in style and taste in clothes lol But they're still just fun to watch 💕
I've had all I can take at work, just got my lunch out, and get notified there's a new video......AND IT'S THE SPICE DRAWER???? What?? THANK YOU!!!!! Jessica you are THE BEST!
The spice drawer!!! I feel giddy like a kid. Currently watching this at 5:50am on a Saturday and I am THRILLED 😆 a declutter and organisation video is my fave, especially from you!
Just wanna let you know that after watching you thrive ads for what seems like a year I just became a year member of thrive! My fiancé has celiac disease so I’ve been toying with the idea for a long time! I’m so excited!
The Joy Luck Club is a fantastic book. It was made into a movie maybe 25+ years ago. About mother daughter relationships. Definitely a tear jerker.
I love that you (and Tyler) are vlogging a lot more on your channels! ❤️
If it’s too tedious to get out label maker for expiration dates you can just use sharpie on glass and use acetone to erase when refilling/updating.
That was my thought! Acetone and rubbing alcohol can easily remove sharpie :) it just wouldn't look as nice as her labels lol
Hairspray will remove it as well
Or under the lid!
I came here to suggest this, but decided to skim the comments because surely someone else would have suggested it too! I was right haha

Good to know! I was just thinking how many of my spices are probably expired but I don’t have them in the original containers anymore…
Came to say the same thing! Doesn't go bad
Gigi's card 😆 my daughter said she was thankful for cake in a group project for Thanksgiving. All the others would say their parents or grandparents.
Sounds like you've instilled honesty in yours 😆
@@gigi2k326 yes lol
😂 sounds like something my 3 year old would say. At least they’re being honest!
Thank God you posted! I needed my Jess fix!! That’s the thing with internet, we kinda get addicted to our “friends” posting for our own sanity!!!!

P.S. Saie has a shade matching service, you can literally just send them a selfie in natural light on IG and they'll tell you your shade.

Ooh Jessica! if you do the herbs with the lights PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE vlog that? I'm interested in doing this too but have no clue how to start! love your channel! ❤️
I have an aero garden and absolutely love it! I grow herbs and salads year round and it’s super easy! I love them so much that I gift them to people😂

I went through my closet a couple weeks ago, and it felt so good getting rid of that stuff!
we have 10 hens and get eggs daily. sometimes they try and sit on the eggs but they will never hatch because we don't have a rooster. likely the eggs you buy in the store are fertilized by a rooster but are collected before they can be incubated for enough time for the chicks to develop and then hatch.
100% yes to the dress situation and now I am very confused about chickens and eggs I’m gonna need Tyler to explain more in the next blog
Yesss I’m off work today and cleaning around my apartment, perfect time for a new Jess video 🥰🥰
I love my aerogarden! I got it when the pandemic started & it’s still going strong. It has its own grow light & the herbs (or whatever you want to grow) only need water & the liquid fertilizer. Nice & contained year round freshness!

I had the same thought about chickens, eggs and roosters 🤣🤣🤣. Thank you for telling us the discovery 😁😁😁 xxx
Guys, it's really happening. I repeat: the spice drawer is really happening! 🤣
If you call it positive reinforcement, you get less judgment 😜😜. You’re right, though! Bribery is in every parent’s toolbox! 🤣🤣
The FIRM was sooo good!!! Loved it. Much better than the movie!
Click and grow!! I use that system for growing herbs indoors and LOVE it. So easy and you can even use it to start your seeds!
The lippie deets from the colourpop/thrive market segment please? So pretty!!
Love love love Vlogs and please consider filming the prep for your trip because I have a baby and have never traveled far with him because I am so overwhelmed by the thought of preparing for it! Or even if you have tips to share!
Wow the before and after shots were awesome and so pleasing to see!!! Great job Jess
❤️ Maybe Gigi put the reason she loves you as a subtle reminder she wants those after-school gifts again?
I thought the same damn thing about chicks🐣the things I learn on this channel, love it 🤣🤣🤣
We love our aero garden for indoor gardening. Go up a size from the basic and you can grow tomatoes and small vegetables. We also use ours to start our seedlings for our outdoor garden in the summer. We now own 2! Also video idea… full face of makeup from Thrive market.
I got an Areogarden for Christmas and I'm in love!! My basil and dill grow so fast. And it's been fun to come up with new ways to use fresh herbs.
I really love watching your videos. You do and say everything so natural and always so truthfull about makeup. Keep it up.
I love those kitsch satin scrunchie and pillowcase!

Thank you so much for including the conversation about chickens and eggs 🤣🤣🤣 It's been a rough weekend here and I unexpectedly started cracking up.
I got that saie highlighter and wasn’t crazy about it just as a highlight, now I gotta try it all over my face!!
Just opened UA-cam and your video pops up! 😂😭 perfect timing as I start to wind down.
Omg the labeled expiration date on the bottom is genius. I’ve been wanting to do the spice organization but haven’t done it for just that reason!!
So excited to see a vlog from you today! I'm always excited to see anything from you. 🤗
The Joy Luck Club is a wonderful book. I've read it three time in my life. It's so good. The Firm was not as exciting as I expected- it fine.
The AeroGarden is awesome. I've grown lettuce and herbs for years with it. The system is easy.
You can also just use a Sharpee marker for the expiration date on the bottom 👍🏼😃
Hi Jess, so happy to watch your vlogs. A well round of everything. Do you remember where your pink striped t shirt 👚 is from? It’s really cute.
Try the Aero garden for indoor herbs. It’s great.
Wet erase markers also work great for writing expiration dates. I just write somewhere that doesn’t get wet or rubbed often.
Hi Jess! Love the declutter and organizing! A great feeling! Random question..! Where did u find this pink brush holders on your vanity? LOVE those ;)
Your make up look at the end of the vlog looks stunning
My aunt and parents use the AeroGarden system and it works really well! Hope that’s helpful!

What beautiful lip combo are you wearing at the end? Great vlog! Much love 🥰🥰
I have 2 aerogardens and they are the absolute best!!
I got the Dang Thai Siracha on your recommendation, they are awesome, not hot at all!
Yessss it’s been so long since a closet declutter 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Ok, what is that lip you’re wearing at the end?!?! It looks divine on you!!!
Thanks for addressing the expiration dates!
Your vlogs make me so happy! 🥰💜🌻🦋✨
💟For the expiration dates in the future you can just write it with sharpie and then it comes off with alcohol or even a whiteboard marker colored over the sharpie and it wipes right off when you need to update it.
Also. You and Tyler are SPOILING us with the long vlogs!

What does this mean?
I would also like to know ^
@@melanieglover4779 maybe they mean find what your color is? Like how people have a signature scent. Maybe that. But with color? Just a guess idk lol
Bribery is a lovely thing 😊
I've been waiting for this! The spice jar's look great!
Great video!
I always have a maybe bin for things I have issues parting with. If I do not go to the bin to find something within a season, I donate the bin without even looking at what is in it.
Wait Jess, I definitely thought the same thing about chicks and eggs! Lol learned something new!
I LOVE Thrive Market hauls!
I really want to organize my spice drawer but I need bottles with the labels on top because I have a vertical drawer. Yours turned out great! I really like the idea of having the expiration dates on the bottom
I love these vlogs!! Please make more!! Y’all are the cutest!!
Jesssss! Omgosh when you were talking about the most annoying sound my brain right away though about Dumb and Dumer when they talk about the most annoying sound 😂😂😂😂😂
Siete almond flour tortillas are AMAZING! Costco has them sometimes too. We have been GF for years.
When I can’t take my allergy meds due to my dry eye the xlear rescue nose spray is amazing!
The lesser Evil Himalayan Gold popcorn is amazing!
Jessica! Please try the dark chocolate coffee Carmel’s from Meijer, the Frederiks brand. So good!
Happy Friday it's nearly 5:00PM EST, Happy Friday 🎉🥑🎉💐 Lynn

Eating local honey helps with allergies! Has to be local. I get mine from local flower nurseries.
THIS!!!! ^^^^
After seeing your new spice jars I found some on Amazon that came with nice stickers. Silver lids though. I’m case anyone else was looking into it.
That spice drawer ✨ motivating me to step up my spice game!
Jessie girl! I’m with you! I had no idea until about 3 years ago that you could get eggs without a rooster! Mind blown! 🤯
Where did you get your favorite blue floral dress? I love it ! 😍
The spice drawer!!! I feel giddy like a kid. Currently watching this at 5:50am on a Saturday and I am THRILLED 😆 a declutter and organisation video is my fave, especially from you!

Get an AeroGarden it’s fool proof regulates water light etc Recommended for all brown thumbs
Jess: starts a maybe pile during a declutter...
Me: ah, the second no pile!
🤣
For me, the maybe pile is usually the second yes pile 🤣
Have you ever made pho with your star anise?
Love all your videos, but your vlogs are some of my favorites! Have a great weekend!!
I remember watching you when I first got married, you were a teacher then. Still loving your videos❤️
I’m so jealous of your library sale!!
Yesss i love Thrive so much. Siete and lesser evel are actually some of my favorite snack brands!
What lipstick are you wearing in the outro? It’s gorgeous!
Spice drawer looks beautiful!
