I’m so proud that you are sharing your awareness for social media & the environment. Good on ya Alfie from a Croydon gal living my best life in Western Australia 🇦🇺👍🏽❤️🤗
This is probably one of the best sponsored videos I’ve seen. There was so much sincerity and I truly believe you guys love this company, for good reason. I feel like we only ever see sponsors and their products in sponsored videos and they aren’t actually incorporated into content creators lives. Can’t wait to check out the website. Great chill video Alfie
I'm still so young and I already have to be aware of the dangers that Social Media brings. I've experienced how intoxicating it is and I'm thankful that I experienced that because it felt like I was freed from it after becoming aware of what a dark space it's dragged me into. Now I look at Twitter and it's just full of chaos and negativity BUT it has also become a space for some special gems. I look at Social Media the way I look at Politics and Government and Technology. It is inevitable, it is fundamental, and it is a part of society. We see Politics in so much negative light but that negativity is an illusion, because that negativity you are casting is a power never before have people wielded. Just as something can be good, it can also be bad. We have to understand that it is natural for something to be both. When social media was introduced it was just like every invention, built of good intent. But the world does not work as we always wish. I've written a long enough message. All to say that: I know how bad Social Media can get and can imagine how worse it can be but I also know how Good it is and that Knowing that there is a Bad Side to something teaches you to look for the Good and to make good and do good using it. 🤗
Usually skip ad parts, but I am soooo happy about your partnership with this one. I love their staff and I am grateful I could learn about them thanks to you 🙏🤍
I'm super excited for this sponsor!!!!!!!! I'm gonna check out the site for sure. I also loved the electric car/ scooter sponsors but am not in a position to buy one. But everyday items are much more accessible lol. Seriously though, not joking, I'm always trying to be better environmentally and I get really really happy when people I watch try new ways along with me. Especially if they can give me suggestions. ❤️❤️❤️
If you hate dicing onions, you can always use those manual choppers, they are perfect for stuff like garlic and onion, fast and painless. I use both a knife and sometimes that chopper.
I used to be obsessed with you daily blogs when i was younger, but somehow stopped watching them, but ive just started again and your videos just bring me so much joy and nostalgia
Love A Good Company!! And surprisingly find out that some of their good merchandise are made from Taiwan’s factories!!!! ( appreciate their transparency about all the info） Feel So proud ❤️❤️❤️ and hopes that more and more people notice Taiwanese unique creativity and high-quality goods!
ZOE - I live in Australia and the brand Tupperware sells a kitchen gadget that cuts up onions for you! I cry every time I cut onions but this gadget has saved me! :))) Hope this helps xx
At their core, social media platforms are not bad. People have free will to choose who and what they follow and pay attention to. For instance, if I don’t want to see a lot of news and politics I avoid twitter or unfollow people who retweet or post a lot of political content. I manage and execute social media ads for a living and the platforms are excellent for business and connecting people.
i know this is odd but i truly appreciate how you and zoe always ask each other permission and say thank you to each other for the smallest things. i feel like where i am from no one thinks its important, myself included. and i get reminded of it every time i watch one of your videos. and it makes more aware of the tiny things i can do to be a better person. so thank you, alfie. :))
Like Zoe, my eyes water profusely whenever I cut onions so I've started chucking saying 1/4 pieces of onion in a food processor and processing them until I think they're finely diced. You don't want to puree them though so be careful how long you put them in. :) xx sending love from Australia
I love having more of alfies videos to watch I always get happy when one popped up and now they are popping up all the time! :))) Also i wanna say how much I love having longer videos!!!
a cook i saw recommends leaving the root on the onion.. dont cut it off. cut it half (splitting the root), cut it vertically, then dice parallel to root ...it worked .. i no longer cry.. great trick!
Just pop the onion into a blender and blend it fine! No tears and the result is a very smooth onion "paste". No annoying onion pieces either!! Otherwise, if you keep the onions in the fridge they will be less teary. :)
i watched that documentary ! and wow wow wow , a real eye opener. i literally highly recommend it to anyone . like give it a watch, it changed my perspective on social media .
I love clay! I've had my third ceramic course lesson, but man throwing is hard! Love handbuilding and definitely will continue with ceramics. Love that you did this haha and your pots look awesome Zoe!
Same as Zoe, I could never chop onions until I started wearing contact lenses (to see) since then they don't make me cry at all. Not sure why but it works!
A good kitchen hack for onions: Stick them in the fridge for a little while and they won't make you cry as much. Usually my eyes don't water at all when I do this
Lush little vlog, that looks so chilled😊 To anyone else reading this, I hope youre having an amazing weekend?? Stay safe whilst seeing your family and friends!! Remember to keep smiling, lots of love a small time UA-camr trying to spread positivity❤️❤️
To chop onions without crying!!! - cut the onion into quarters and rinse all of it with water -or the more fashionable option and wear swimming goggles 😂
really random but my mom told me to put a glass of water next to you and you wont cry while cutting the onions. i tired it and it worked for me LMFAO i dont know how but it did, also chewing gum helps also!! love you guys
Omg guys that good company sounds amazing, I don't think they can ship to my country, I hate that because I'm always missing out on amazing products, but if I ever get visit the UK I know where to buy everything 🙌
When you are cutting an onion to stop crying you should put a tea spoon (little spoon) in your mouth and it stops you crying. Dont know if this helps anyone but it helps me 😀
Don’t cut the root of the onion till the end and it will stop you from crying. Also if you do cry place your finger tips into cold water and it helps you stop crying xx
loved the vlog! also just thought I would mention that apparently wearing a mask like a face mask will stop you from crying when cutting an onion in case Zoe would like a solution to try out
I’m so proud that you are sharing your awareness for social media & the environment. Good on ya Alfie from a Croydon gal living my best life in Western Australia 🇦🇺👍🏽❤️🤗

Well, it would've made sense that Saturday was relaxed tho😂

alfie: just throwing his socks around

I had such a laughter with the sheeps in the beginning, thank you for that ;-))

Swimming goggles for cutting onions. Tell Zoe.
You guys are such a positive light on social we need this kind of content
Absolutely love A Good Company! So cool to see you working with them!!
ZOE - I live in Australia and the brand Tupperware sells a kitchen gadget that cuts up onions for you! I cry every time I cut onions but this gadget has saved me! :))) Hope this helps xx
The nicer dicer actually works perfect for finely dicing onions (or slicing them as well if you want to)
The pottery bit was so calming!!! X
get an onion chopper for chopping onions!! its in a plastic protector and dices the onions without letting the vapors out!!! life saver !!! ♥️♥️♥️
‘A good company’ sounds bloody amazing! I am so excited to check them out!!!
Those sheep are cuteeeeee

so thank you, alfie. :))
Get a food processor/food chopper! That's how I quickly dice up onion and veggies and no tears!
this house is just so stunning 💜💜💜
put the onion in the freezer for 5-10mins. Whatever normally releases in the air when you cut a fresh one gets frozen for a moment!
loove a good old long vlog!
I wear sunglasses when cutting onions I find that really helps plus it looks mysterious 😎
Like Zoe, my eyes water profusely whenever I cut onions so I've started chucking saying 1/4 pieces of onion in a food processor and processing them until I think they're finely diced. You don't want to puree them though so be careful how long you put them in. :) xx sending love from Australia
The pottery wheel looks fun!!! That heart pot looks as good as the one from the White Company!!!
I love having more of alfies videos to watch I always get happy when one popped up and now they are popping up all the time! :)))
Also i wanna say how much I love having longer videos!!!

Otherwise, if you keep the onions in the fridge they will be less teary. :)
cutting an onion in half and leaving the root end on it will keep the "fumes" down. watch some chef tutorials will help explain
i watched that documentary ! and wow wow wow , a real eye opener. i literally highly recommend it to anyone . like give it a watch, it changed my perspective on social media .
now im so thinking about getting into ceramics!
"Do you feel like that hot tiktok guy?" 😂😂😂
I love clay! I've had my third ceramic course lesson, but man throwing is hard! Love handbuilding and definitely will continue with ceramics. Love that you did this haha and your pots look awesome Zoe!
When’s the Easter surprise video coming ?😂x
@zoe you need to buy a Tupperware chopper - amazing for chopping your onions xx
Alfie's turning into a sheppard guiding those sheep into the field
Same as Zoe, I could never chop onions until I started wearing contact lenses (to see) since then they don't make me cry at all. Not sure why but it works!
I am not sure about a gadget that dices the onions but you can get onion glasses that stop you crying 💕
loving the throwback intro and outro music!
Keep the root end of the onion on and it isn't as bad!
I keep goggles in the kitchen to slice onions. Works well!
That is amazing my daughters dad is fro. El Salvador I cannot believe there doing that
A good kitchen hack for onions: Stick them in the fridge for a little while and they won't make you cry as much. Usually my eyes don't water at all when I do this
Covered in water and no more tears,Zoe!
Onion in the fridge for a day or two even more helps, I tear up bad when I cut onions and that works. Love you guys!
THERE'S A TUPPERWARE KITCHEN GADGET THAT DICES EVERYTHING + ONIONS IT WORKS SO WELL1!!!!
You can put the peeled onion in the freezer for 5-10 min and it will not tear you up
Lush little vlog, that looks so chilled😊 To anyone else reading this, I hope youre having an amazing weekend?? Stay safe whilst seeing your family and friends!! Remember to keep smiling, lots of love a small time UA-camr trying to spread positivity❤️❤️

really random but my mom told me to put a glass of water next to you and you wont cry while cutting the onions. i tired it and it worked for me LMFAO i dont know how but it did, also chewing gum helps also!! love you guys
You can put a wooden board on the little rotating plate for bigger bowl or sth 🤪
Put it on with clay or sth else
Omg guys that good company sounds amazing, I don't think they can ship to my country, I hate that because I'm always missing out on amazing products, but if I ever get visit the UK I know where to buy everything 🙌
love you Alfie and Zoe xx
Get little ones on the same arm, save the other arm for bigger pieces in the future.
And a mom and dad tattoo would look cute together
Never thought Alfie would ever say my small little country of El Salvador lol so dope
Love your vlogs 💕
Alfie same with the onions. I’m always the one who is asked to cut the onions cause I don’t cry while cutting them😂
onion goggles are a thing !!
Hope you and Zoe are well. Lots of love from Notts Alfie! Xx
The spring on the gate is placed on the wrong side - they can push their way out but not back in again
Oohh looks so sunny thereee
Tell Zoe to get a Pampered Chef onion chopper!! It’s the best!!
Omg I’ve literally never been this early
For an onion dicer, Google 'Alligator Chopper'. Absolute game changer.
There is Zoe! Literally good onion slicer and you’ll find the perfect little machine
When you are cutting an onion to stop crying you should put a tea spoon (little spoon) in your mouth and it stops you crying. Dont know if this helps anyone but it helps me 😀
Such a cute idea! xxx
u are the bets Alfie
Don’t cut the root of the onion till the end and it will stop you from crying. Also if you do cry place your finger tips into cold water and it helps you stop crying xx
i have a hack
when cutting onions soak them in water
it reduces the sting
When I’m wearing my contacts i have no problems slicing onions, but wearing glasses my eyes burn sooooooo badly.
Can you post the link to the pottery wheel?
Love your videoss!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
If you breathe through your nose whilst you cut onions it makes you cry, if u breathe through your mouth whilst cutting the onions you won’t cry 👍🏼
There are glasses that you can get on amazon to stop you from crying when cutting onions 🧅
Chew a piece of gum while cutting onions. I don't know the science behind it but it stops you from crying!
If you cut the onion in a bowl of water you won’t cry 😊
the whole part where you were making the clay pots was just one huge innuendo lmao. rewatch it without looking and you’ll see what i mean 🤣
who remembers LBW club?
I was, and I guess still am, a part of the LBW club!
The only way to not cry, is to cut it outside. Preferably on a windy day
loved the vlog! also just thought I would mention that apparently wearing a mask like a face mask will stop you from crying when cutting an onion in case Zoe would like a solution to try out
Soak the raw onion in cold water for a bit! It helps so much with stopping me from crying hahaha
The trick is putting the peeled onion in a bowl of cold water for 5 minutes
Get Zoe onion goggles for Christmas! The onion can't burn her eyes if she wears the onion goggles!
Try running the onion under water before cutting it 🙂
Biting a wooden spoi. Whilst cutti g the onion helps
Where’d u guys get the kit?
Zoe would love the pottery throwdown on channel 4 (?)
Zoe I have your onion solution!! They literally make a product called "Onion Goggles" It's ridiculous but it works so well! lol
A food processor can help you chop onions without “chopping onions.” 😂Maybe give that a go!
The slower you go the more control you have as you go faster the less control you have on a pottery wheel (at least with a full sized one).
