Hey guys! Let me know what you think we should do about advent season! I will post a poll on the UA-cam community Tab and Instagram to see what everyone thinks but your opinion is very important to me! Love ya💖
I will watch when and whatever you post! ❤❤ Do whatever is best for you and your channel! You u box them we will come watch! 😂😂❤❤❤ I can't speak for everyone but I watch for the sheer fun of your videos, I don't even buy subscriptions boxes much less Advent Calendars! ❤❤😂😂😂😂
You could always number the advent calendars as they come in (with a big magic marker), and open them in that order--maybe starting on October first. Another option would be to start with the more recognizable/popular ones and save any Etsy or unusual ones for after Christmas. 🤷 You will just have to do whatever works best for you, Alexandria!! Well watch, regardless of how you open them!🥰
My opinion is to open the food ones first. The others can wait until you're ready for your advent calendar season to begin. I'm happy with whatever works for you. You take care of you and stop stressing over us. We'll be here when you're ready. Your health is WAAAAY more important. P.S. If you do a bingo card, please put bloopy top and squeezy tube as two of the squares. P.P.S. The thumb and pointer finger stiffness, as well as the 'claw hand" could be issues in your neck/spine. Mention it to your doctor to see if he/she wants a MRI.
I personally would rather advent calendar season go late than start early. I think what’s most important is what is best for your health and I believe a lot of us watch it to see your reaction more so than to figure out which ones to buy.
@@hollybrooke322 Yes this! Watching her do advent calendars until March gets me through the post Christmas haze until my allergies start kicking in lol
I personally love watching advent calendar unboxings going into the new year. I love all of your content so I'm happy either way. Look after yourself ❤
I would rather wait. Is anyone else tired of seeing Christmas stuff out right after labor day? Bottom line on this is you do whatever works for you. We all appreciate everything you do and want you to be healthy. Take care of you first. We are not going anywhere. Hugs to you.😊
Girl, wait until spooky season is done, we will wait. I literally avoid every other advent calendar unboxing because I enjoy watching you so much, has been that way for the last three or so years. Seeing you shop for Advent calendars would be an absolute treat! I'm totally down for that idea! Catch up on the other boxes for the next bit until the pumpkins are done and do everything you want to do for a proper Advent calendar season, we will be here regardless!
Breathe. I think the majority would agree with me saying that we’re not here to find what calendars to buy. They’re great references for what is worth the money. But we’re here for your reactions and your content. You literally said what you wanted to do with getting the stack in the back taken care of first. Honestly I think that’s the least stressful option and you should take it. We’re here for your content. I have been here since dark background days. Watching you stress yourself out when you don’t need to makes me sad
I will not watch anyone else's advent calendar unboxings. No one does it better than you!!! Do what stresses you out the least, your health is most important! You are one of the sweetest humans on YT! 🧡
I'm sorry it isn't more, I just wanted to send you a little something. I'm a 37 year old mother of two who rarely gets a chance to wear make up, nevermind open multiple luxury advent calendars. But your channel and your personality brings me so much joy. Please take it easy and know that you could open Christmas advent calendars in the middle of a heatwave and we'll all be here to watch and rant along with you. Please take care of yourself and give yourself grace. You're a wonderful soul. All of my love from England! ♥️
As a viewer for years, who also has neurodivergent and chronic illnesses, please believe me, I just want you to take care of yourself. If you haven't finished your house and it's a little messy, if you can't film because you feel like crud, if you do advent calendars every month of the year. I enjoy your content and you seem like a genuine person. If we were friends, I would give the same feedback. Your true fans will always be here for you, no matter what life throws your way. Take care of you and yours and the rest will fall into place!
Wholeheartedly agree! I have SLE and Fall is the worst for me. From October to December, it’s one giant flare up no matter how hard I try to stop it in its tracks. It’s better than in the beginning but…UGH! I’m already using the hot tub and it’s September, it’s going to be a fun ride! This is why I get Christmas done by mid September every year. Christmas cards are filled out, addressed, not sealed or stamped yet. Yes, even the wrapping. At 53, I’ve finally got the system down pat! I plugged in and turned on my paraffin wax machine.
@@Sorchia56 I wish you the most restful and restorative season as possible, sweetheart. I'm literally dealing with my hip giving out on me because of the weather change. I wish I had a hot tub! I thought about trying that sauna tent everyone was trying years ago from Amazon. Anyway, love, you take care of yourself too. Warmth and happiness from me through the internet 🥰
Nay on the Advent Calendars before Spoopy Season. The guts of the calendar is absolutely secondary to your reactions while you open them. And, the whole point of Advent Calendars is that they are during a special time of year, not just when the retailers tell us it is time. I do love the idea of an Advent Calendar bingo or drinking game... sip when you get a black eyeliner, drink the whole bottle when you get a sticker! I love whatever you choose to do. 💖
As a person who deals with fibromyalgia I can relate to the skin pain. I get that a lot and it’s so hard for others to understand. My husband was really upset at first because he thought I didn’t want him to touch me anymore. He couldn’t understand that just running his fingers over my hand or arm lightly was painful. Making him read up on the disease helped but unless you are someone with chronic pain, it’s hard to relate. I get where you are coming from as my disease has similar symptoms to yours. Fatigue, joint pain, skin pain, etc. Please rest when you need to. It took me a long time to do that. I felt like I needed to get things done and the more I pushed myself the worse I felt! We will wait for your videos whenever you are able to make them. If you want to start doing some advent calendars now as well as other unboxings that’s ok too. I’m just happy to see your happy smiling face. You are such a genuine person and I love your reactions to the products and unboxing. I’ll be here when you are ready ❤ Take care of Tater and Ren too. Oh and Jeremy of course lol
I also have Fibro, and it isn't fun. I have to wear pants if I'm going somewhere I know will have crazy air conditioning because otherwise it feels like someone is pouring boiling water on my legs. And I also have joint pain, so that's fun too. And I'm 8.5 months pregnant, and no one had told me about the crazy flare that comes with it. I hope you and your husband find a good balance. Luckily, mine is more temperature related than pressure, so him touching my skin is sensitive but not painful. I can't imagine what you're going through. ❤
Same!! The only time I'd ever buy one is if they went on big clearance after the holidays. But as we all know, now they just sell them at regular price all year round...
Same! These videos just make it easy to skip stuff that I don’t genuinely want or need. The idea of the calendar is def more appealing than the actual calendar. I’d rather buy myself holiday treats!
yep same! and i'm not watching any other youtubers opening advent calendars, unless is maybe NerdCrafter with the fidget toys ones cause I know is not Alex's niche
Oh honey, we have told you for years we'd watch you open any box anytime! Please do not let what we want cause you stress or panic! We love you, not the boxes!❤
Definitely switch drs for the adhd meds. The one you have now sounds weird and if they make you uncomfortable, definitely find one that suits and helps you better.
Agreed!! Especially if they're not filling the right doses and refusing to fill her meds! Although, going every two months is pretty normal for ADHD. Or at least that's what I have to do
“I’ll go get the stuff” can I just say, your father sounds like the best dad ever. This story and several of the other things you’ve shared about him and your mom as well, are really heartwarming ❤
Let's clear the pile of boxes behind you (that are already a few months, maybe a year old 😂) and keep the advent calendars for Christmas! It's toooo soon and we have other holidays before! ❤
I don't buy advent calendars and I don't watch anyone else's advent calendar unboxing videos except for yours, so I would say there's absolutely no rush to do it right now. Just do it when you feel ready.
I say do the food ones as soon as they come in and then wait until November to open the rest. I also love the idea of a bingo card and some recommendations of your favorite calendars of the past. ❤ I honestly never buy the calendars you show, but I love watching you open them. Your reactions are so much fun.
I also have Lupus and lost my insurance so had to stop my Hydroxychloroquine as a result. I have spent the last 3 weeks dealing with chronic pain and terrible stomach issues. It took a while for the meds to "work" for me, but now that I'm not on it, I miss normal so much. I've been sleeping 16-19 hours a day, also. Hang in there. It gets better.
I love advent calendar season!! It's my favorite time on UA-cam and my fiancée and I watch them every year together. We look forward to it every year. I think keep it during the season you always have ☺️
The companies should have waited until after Halloween. Please try to catch up with the non Christmas boxes first. I love going past the Christmas season.
No! Enjoy your favorite seasons, enjoy your beautiful house and please remember that as a fellow chronic illness person, stress can significantly raise flares and will drain you quicker than anything else! I’ve been in this chronic illness and pain realm for18 years and stress really can’t be detrimental! We love you! Enjoy your success!
Side note in terms of the meds, I'm not sure of the laws in Kentucky, but I do all of my therapy and also medication prescriptions via telehealth video calls. Maybe that could be an option for you too? It certainly takes a lot of the anxiety out of the situation for me. 💜
I have a feeling viewship will be up on advent calanders. Jen Luv called you the queen of advent ❤ It's seems a bit soon for calanders to me but again I'm here for anything you do ❤
"if you made it this far you're a strong soul" NO, I watch every video to the end because I am enjoying myself. I don't know how to translate this to your confidence, but we like you, we really like you!
Don't panic as we love after advent season BUT I have watched a couple of advent unboxings but it's not the same and now I won't watch them yet sooooo I'm happy to wait and get ur sub boxes done so u can feel more clear? I love the plouise and the sephora comparisons xx
I personally think we should wait until later in the year. And I like extending the advent season through the winter months. Honestly, everyone is going to love the videos whenever you decide to start them! (And yes, sell us some holiday candles, we'll help fund the expensive advent calendars!)
You do you since that's what I'm here for. I don't actually buy even one advent calendar, I just enjoy watching you open them. If you're looking across your community for preference, put me in the category of waiting until after spooky season. The holidays feel special to me because they are limited. It's like pumpkin spice latte at Starbucks. If it was around all the time, it would lose its specialness, you know? And I don't enjoy the constant push to start the season earlier and earlier. I'd rather have it go later, because it extends the holiday happiness. But I'll watch whenever you do it! And as far as the expensive ones go ... maybe just pick one or two if the expense expand outside of business expenses. Don't put your financial, mental or physical health in jeopardy!❤
My neighbor does that! It's always so beautiful -- even with the simplest decorations! I think the lights are tiny so there's just a soft glow from it in the evenings...light a nightlight in her kitchen/breakfast area.
We have one too but it's a modern looking one we diy'd. It's basically made up of tree branches my brother and a friend found around where we live, cut them so when they're hung they look like a triangle shape, with nails in them to hang ornaments. We usually keep some pinecones on it and a string with wooden apples on it during the year and just decorate it for Christmas with lights and other types of ornaments.
We do a sort of similar thing but with Halloween bats. We have three amigurumi ones and eventually the family vote was to leave them up year round but with different hats for the seasons. They have little Santa hats for Christmas.
I don’t watch you to determine what to buy, I watch you because you’re just so sweet and fun! And your reactions to the audacity of these companies is just pure entertainment tbh ❤
I say wait on the advent calendars. Im not watching to figure out what to buy for this year, im watching to figure out if I want to grab any next year.
I'll watch no matter when you start advent season so do it when you're comfortable. 💖One thing you can do earlier if you're up for it is maybe an advent calendar tier list or mega cheat-sheet type video where you tell us some of your all-time favorites and no-gos so we can use it as a guide to shop for our own this year. But again, whatever you're up for!
You are so real. It's okay to be real in the time that social media has become so... plastic. Thank you for making it feel okay to express both the ups and downs that come with life. So looking forward to spooky season and advent season! Anxiety is a struggle for sure... and it's good to pause and breathe. Time feels like we are always behind, but the viewers here... I think the majority of us enjoy seeing the unboxings for both the products, but also for your review of them. It's okay to start early. It's okay to wait. You got this, and you have our support.
November for sure. Just relax and get some other boxes done. You’re going through so much and you’re still doing videos and we love you for it. But don’t stress. And you definitely don’t want to do it before November we can all tell and that’s ok too!! It’s just as much about you as it is us of course!
Hi there! I frequently watch your videos, I kinda look up to you like my awesome long-lost sister (we're only a few month apart in age) I appreciate that you show what's going on behind the scenes, like health issues between you and Tater, house updates, editing videos/hiring (a good fitting) editor, etc. Seriously, I value everything you're willing to tell the world because it makes me feel like I'm not alone, or I'm not the only one experiencing these issues at this age. Thank you for opening up about your life, forreals. As for advent calendars, I'm mostly here to watch you open the calendars over purchasing them (unless you get super giddy excited about a calendar, like the Liberty London Luxury calendar, your excitement was so adorably precious!) so you open those calendars on your own whim, no need to rush the seasons! I am definitely a super fan of putting up the tree and Halloween decorating it! If there are any fun/cute Halloween advent calendars, then super bonus! Another idea is (for next year) have your tree start as a blank slate, and for every advent calendar you open, you can take a piece of the calendar and use it as an ornament to decorate the tree! (most the calendars come with some type of ornament anyways, but can you imagine tying a piece of string to a singular Gummi vitamin packet to hang on the tree? Oml 😂) at the end of the season, show off your amazingly advent-decorated tree! That would be so awesome! Thank you for putting so much effort and energy into your content! I hope you have so much happiness and an easier/less-stressful year ahead! I'm rooting for you all the way! (also, I'm sorry I don't stalk your social medias more see your updates/share your posts-- I don't really social media too much, other than the UA-cams) I hope YOU have a lovely wonderful fantastic day today, since you always wish us viewers the same! 🥰
Don’t put pressure on yourself about advent season. Get ones you want to do and post as you are able. Your audience is here regardless and will support you. As someone who also lives with a chronic illness and pain, I hope you remember it’s okay to take time and do less. Even if we can’t buy the same ones this year, we can prepare for next year. Your health and mental well being are more important. ❤❤
I am so glad you are starting to advocate for yourself regarding your health. Your current doctor sounds.... off. I have never heard of a doctor contacting a pharmacy to check on prescriptions. I would switch back asap, you should never feel guilty when visiting the doctor!! Start Advent season when you feel right doing so. I don't intend to buy any, but I just enjoy watching you open and react, and just your Christmasy vibes!
I just wanted to comment THANK YOU❤ You being so vulnerable and candid about your lupus journey has really helped me! When you talked about your symptoms, I started crying because I was like, that sounds like the things I have going on. So because of you, I spoke with my family doctor, and she ordered the bloodwork (ANA titer and pattern and ALL the other ones), and it came back positive. So they are thinking I either have Lupus or Sjorgrens. So in a week, I go see a rheumatologist at the University of Cincinnati because I also have severe Crohns disease that is also being cared for by another specialist there! Yikes, I'm so sorry that I typed a novel but I really just wanted to thank you ...because of you being so open I realized that I don't have to suffer thinking something is really wrong with me and that I need to just deal with it! So, thank you from the bottom of my heart! I wish all the best on your journey🫶💕
This 60 year old struck survivor has been watching you for a VERY LONG TOME. I love you. I’ll pray for your strength to cope and tack control you your health. Just believe more in your self. Remember you have a wonderful husband and family by you. That includes your UA-cam family also.❤️
Wait till after Spooky Season please! I like the idea of you opening the food ones as they come in but wait till Nov to start the videos. Last year I loved that you did a "preview" video where you showed us all of the calendars we could look forward to you opening to kick things off. Your calendar videos really mark the holiday season for me but I don't think I'd want to watch them till after Halloween. 🖤🧡🖤🧡
Do whatever stresses you out the least. Your loyal viewers will watch whatever you post, whenever you post it. We’re here for you and your lovely personality!
My biggest opinion is please use a realtor to sell your home that’s their job and will do all of the difficult work for you that is what they do and they’d work for you. Good luck selling the home! Additionally if you finish up your packages you already have that way you may not have so much anxiety around advent calendar season.
And about the scrubby thing hurting the skin when it’s not supposed to hurt. I’m diagnosed with fibromyalgia and experience those extra sensitive type of symptoms and the tightening tendons.
I wish you could see yourself through our eyes! We love you and don't think it's babbling! Anything you record is good enough for us, regardless of how you look at it, I promise we will love it. You are what makes all your videos awesome!!! Hope you start feeling better soon. Give the babies some love from us. ❤
Our dog slipped a disc recently and we’ve been on the every 8 hours & every 12 hours med cycle. I think you should also give yourself credit for how relentless that schedule is. It not only requires planning and alarms and scheduling but also staying up late and getting up early relentlessly.
Don't stress!! Start advent season whenever u want and do it for as long as u want. I do agree with someone else that commented to do the food ones first that way u don't have to worry about them not being fresh or good.
I'm glad you got your stairs fixed for your babies! The new Dr's office seems like a mess... I've seen so much Halloween that I am burnt out on it and it isn't even October yet. Open the boxes you want to I will be here to watch anything you want to do. I'm not voting because I am going to watch you either way! Bingo cards sound so fun!!!
I'm good with whatever you want to do! To be honest, I stopped wearing makeup years ago and watch all your videos because I enjoy watching you. I hope it doesn't stress you out too much, because you've got a pack of loyal viewers here.
Speaking for myself, you are literally the only channel i watch advent calendar unboxings on lol. No matter when you post, ill be watching 🎉 i personally feel its too early but you do whatever feels right girl ❤
Fellow Lupus girl here. I think the first 6 months or so after diagnosis are the hardest. The meds haven't fully kicked in yet, and you're learning about your illness but haven't had the time to really understand it yet. You haven't had a chance to figure out what things work best for your body, like do you need 9 hours of sleep each night or are you better when you don't eat gluten or if lavender-scented lotion makes your skin hurt more than unscented. Hang in there! Please make a list of all the possible symptoms so that you can discuss them with your rheumatologist. Lean on your family and friends as needed. And, most importantly, give yourself a lot of grace.
As another lupus girlie here, agreed. The first 6-12 months for me were the worst. It took months to get stuff settled with the meds and the side effects. Now it’s been more than a decade and I still have weird days (when I get over fatigued my eyes keep trying to cross and my eye doctor says it’s probably just the muscles giving up), but I’m way down on all my meds and you get used to a lot of things. I definitely don’t miss the tummy trouble parts of taking the plaqueil/hydroxychloroquine.
Another lupus girlie here, and I am a year post-diagnosis and still struggling. It definitely takes time to find the right treatment. I am not there yet, but I have hope that we will eventually get there.
@@jennifervaniel8269 I was diagnosed 23 years ago. I can't tell you that everything is going to be sunshine and roses. Lupus still sucks. But it does eventually become easier to handle. You will find the right doctors for your (very individual) type of lupus. The doctors will find the right medication or set of medications for your body. Things will stabilize to the point where you can settle into your new normal. You will probably have flares and your life might not be the same as it was before, but you can still have a pretty darn good life. If you haven't yet, please consider finding an online or in person support group. The Lupus Foundation has them in every state or can direct you to the support network in your country if you live elsewhere. Only other lupies really understand the craziness of it all. Hugs to you and Alexandria both!
If you're worried about them selling out before the Advent season. My suggestion is to do a Video of all the Advent calendars you would like to get BUT just put Screenshots of the Calendars in the Video and either do a Voice over or do a Side by Side showing us which ones are available.
Don't worry over us, we'll be here for whenever you are able to release advent themed videos. We'll wait for when you're ready. Take good care of yourself and your health first. ❤
mood girl, I'm also chronically ill (EDS/POTS) and have been seeking medical care for a decade and definitely don't see any doctor that makes you feel too nervous to ask for the care you need. it's counterintuitive to you getting better if you can't communicate with them so even if they're the best doctor in the world it's not worth it! also I definitely feel the whole "finding out little things about the way you function are actually part of your illness", I learned so many things about me weren't normal....
Hi fellow zebra, I have those diagnoses too! I agree wholeheartedly, you have to feel comfortable with your care team. Sometimes it is very hard to find a caring doc you trust. It's always worth getting 2nd or 3rd opinions if you need it.
@@jenniferdevinney541 fellow zebra!!!! shakes your hoof hahaha. definitely, finding the right experts who really care about you and your highly specific condition is all the difference. I really hope alexandira is looking into physical therapy that's inclusive to her lupus-related pain issues too, since I think that was by far the most helpful thing for me! relearning how to move seems simple but it's the foundation for a easier life.
As delightful as watching you tear into advent boxes is, please wait until spooky season is over. My preference is after the big 🦃. Glad tater is doing better.
Don’t let what others are doing make you feel anxious and behind. Work at your pace, do what is best for YOU and your channel. We adore watching your videos and whenever you want to post the calendars, we will be here!! Don’t feel rushed or anxious, just do what feels right to you! Please take care of yourself ❤
I will be here whichever way you decide to do Advent Season, but for me personally, it's more exciting to wait until November 1st. I just feel more festive then and I don't think it's always a positive thing to rush forward to the next thing. Time already goes so fast that sometimes I just like to sit back and enjoy the present
I have had lupus from birth but wasn’t properly diagnosed until I was in my late 20s. When I switched to brand name Plaquenil it made an enormous difference!!! I had claw hand too!! I had cortisone injections to alleviate the contractions. It helped a ton!
Definitely change doctors. You need to feel comfortable. They are not acting normal. I take 4 bigger medications and one is a narcotic. I have never been treated like that. Don't stress about advent calendars either. If you feel weird starting then now, wait until November. We watch for what you do. 💙
Maybe it's better waiting for advent calendar season, BUT you could do massive unboxings of other boxes so you won't have a hoard of boxes growing while you start focusing on the calendars?
Advent calendar season is the best time! I will watch them all regardless of the time. I’d say start whenever you feel more comfortable and less stressed. I also can’t believe how early everything is coming out in the stores. There’s Halloween/fall/Christmas it’s wild!
Your advent calendar videos helped me struggle through a serious illness last year. My fiancé and I are currently rewatching some from previous years (while preparing for our wedding!). Please take your time. Consumer protection never goes off-season!
Alex, the answer to your question about early advent season is the impending dock workers strikes on both coasts. If you think grocery prices are high now just wait. Your $6 dollar bag of chips will be $12, if the stores can get them.
Also I wanted to add that if YOU'RE not ready to start don't do it. Start when you're ready. I made my Mom take my Sephora one and hide it until Thanksgiving so I don't get sad and tempted
It's sooo important to have a Dr you can talk to! In Va, tests are done either bc of insurance or randomly chosen. They want to see a positive result - that you are the one taking it. An OT can be really helpful with hand pain!
Maybe do an advent calendar deep dive video now talking about which ones to purchase, which to skip, etc. and then starting the actual unboxings in November. It’s kinda a happy medium. Personally, I prefer to watch any advent calendar unboxings after Halloween has passed.
You can ask your vet to switch Tater to Keppra ER (extended release) which has twice a day dosing and then your med schedule could be just 7am/7pm instead of 4 pill times per day (we did that with my dog and it was a huge relief!) Apparently the efficacy is the same for both versions of the pill.
I’ve had it since I was 15 I’m now 38. It’s ebbs and flows. At times it gets easier. You’ll have to figure out what meds work for you. Find an awesome rheumatologist. If they are addressing your needs MOVE ON! Best advice I can give you.
Everyone deserves a doctor they're comfortable with, who listens and responds appropriately. 100% you need to find another doctor. Soon. You can do advent anytime you like. If I were picking, I'd wait until November 1st. But I'll be happy to watch them anytime!
Don’t stress over your meds, it can’t take a long time to find the right ones. I have been through so many now and do have spells of them working for a while and then just stopping. Humira was a med that worked for me for over 2 years and I was overjoyed and then it stopped working all of a sudden. I am currently on Azathioprine only with one other med for ulcers, I needed a break after a stroke and heart attack. I may heave stem cell transplant if needed, but I am waiting for lung surgery before we decide. I have Lupus amongst another 2 autoimmune / auto inflammatory disease, congenital heart defect, stoke, heart failure, stage 4 lung disease, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, arthritis and a few others. You find what works for you and you will get a pace back into life.
Hey guys! Let me know what you think we should do about advent season! I will post a poll on the UA-cam community Tab and Instagram to see what everyone thinks but your opinion is very important to me! Love ya💖
Just wait until November. I want to enjoy Spooky Season.
I will watch when and whatever you post! ❤❤ Do whatever is best for you and your channel! You u box them we will come watch! 😂😂❤❤❤
I can't speak for everyone but I watch for the sheer fun of your videos, I don't even buy subscriptions boxes much less Advent Calendars! ❤❤😂😂😂😂
just wait girl till november for that . but you can still do you'r subscription box's in video's
@@sherriechampion7979 totally agree❤
You could always number the advent calendars as they come in (with a big magic marker), and open them in that order--maybe starting on October first. Another option would be to start with the more recognizable/popular ones and save any Etsy or unusual ones for after Christmas. 🤷 You will just have to do whatever works best for you, Alexandria!!

My opinion is to open the food ones first. The others can wait until you're ready for your advent calendar season to begin. I'm happy with whatever works for you. You take care of you and stop stressing over us. We'll be here when you're ready. Your health is WAAAAY more important. P.S. If you do a bingo card, please put bloopy top and squeezy tube as two of the squares. P.P.S. The thumb and pointer finger stiffness, as well as the 'claw hand" could be issues in your neck/spine. Mention it to your doctor to see if he/she wants a MRI.
💯
I agree
@@aolsweetsew I agree 👍🏼
💯💯💯
Good call on the food ones lol
All We care about is you looking after you we are here for anything
I personally would rather advent calendar season go late than start early. I think what’s most important is what is best for your health and I believe a lot of us watch it to see your reaction more so than to figure out which ones to buy.
@@hollybrooke322 Yes this! Watching her do advent calendars until March gets me through the post Christmas haze until my allergies start kicking in lol
@@hollybrooke322 Exactly! ♥️
I personally love watching advent calendar unboxings going into the new year. I love all of your content so I'm happy either way. Look after yourself ❤
I agree!
Don’t panic, Advent calendar season shouldn’t happen until after Halloween, it’s your reaction that I like watching.
Totally agree!
Exactly!
Yes Halloween first!!!
I Need Halloween first lol
Same. I never intend on buying any calender, I'm watching for your reaction and opinion.
I would rather wait. Is anyone else tired of seeing Christmas stuff out right after labor day? Bottom line on this is you do whatever works for you. We all appreciate everything you do and want you to be healthy. Take care of you first. We are not going anywhere. Hugs to you.😊
I really would rather see Christmas things after Halloween at least. Rushing it too much takes the fun out of it for me.
Girl, wait until spooky season is done, we will wait. I literally avoid every other advent calendar unboxing because I enjoy watching you so much, has been that way for the last three or so years. Seeing you shop for Advent calendars would be an absolute treat! I'm totally down for that idea! Catch up on the other boxes for the next bit until the pumpkins are done and do everything you want to do for a proper Advent calendar season, we will be here regardless!
Literally sameeeee
Breathe.
I think the majority would agree with me saying that we’re not here to find what calendars to buy. They’re great references for what is worth the money. But we’re here for your reactions and your content. You literally said what you wanted to do with getting the stack in the back taken care of first. Honestly I think that’s the least stressful option and you should take it. We’re here for your content. I have been here since dark background days. Watching you stress yourself out when you don’t need to makes me sad
I will not watch anyone else's advent calendar unboxings. No one does it better than you!!! Do what stresses you out the least, your health is most important!
You are one of the sweetest humans on YT! 🧡
I'm sorry it isn't more, I just wanted to send you a little something. I'm a 37 year old mother of two who rarely gets a chance to wear make up, nevermind open multiple luxury advent calendars. But your channel and your personality brings me so much joy. Please take it easy and know that you could open Christmas advent calendars in the middle of a heatwave and we'll all be here to watch and rant along with you.
Please take care of yourself and give yourself grace. You're a wonderful soul.
All of my love from England! ♥️
As a viewer for years, who also has neurodivergent and chronic illnesses, please believe me, I just want you to take care of yourself. If you haven't finished your house and it's a little messy, if you can't film because you feel like crud, if you do advent calendars every month of the year. I enjoy your content and you seem like a genuine person. If we were friends, I would give the same feedback. Your true fans will always be here for you, no matter what life throws your way. Take care of you and yours and the rest will fall into place!
Wholeheartedly agree! I have SLE and Fall is the worst for me. From October to December, it’s one giant flare up no matter how hard I try to stop it in its tracks. It’s better than in the beginning but…UGH! I’m already using the hot tub and it’s September, it’s going to be a fun ride! This is why I get Christmas done by mid September every year. Christmas cards are filled out, addressed, not sealed or stamped yet. Yes, even the wrapping. At 53, I’ve finally got the system down pat! I plugged in and turned on my paraffin wax machine.
@@Sorchia56 I wish you the most restful and restorative season as possible, sweetheart. I'm literally dealing with my hip giving out on me because of the weather change. I wish I had a hot tub! I thought about trying that sauna tent everyone was trying years ago from Amazon. Anyway, love, you take care of yourself too. Warmth and happiness from me through the internet 🥰
Beautifully said!
THIS
Agreed! ❤❤
You're the only cosmetic unboxings I watch. Whenever you start advent season is when I'll start watching advent season.
Nay on the Advent Calendars before Spoopy Season. The guts of the calendar is absolutely secondary to your reactions while you open them. And, the whole point of Advent Calendars is that they are during a special time of year, not just when the retailers tell us it is time. I do love the idea of an Advent Calendar bingo or drinking game... sip when you get a black eyeliner, drink the whole bottle when you get a sticker! I love whatever you choose to do. 💖
Whole bottle for a sticker lol I agree that the content of the calendars is secondary to her reactions.
@fernbrisot325 I agree with everything you've said except the whole bottle for the stickers, we'd be on the floor 😜🤣
Wait till the end of October to start ❤❤
As a person who deals with fibromyalgia I can relate to the skin pain. I get that a lot and it’s so hard for others to understand. My husband was really upset at first because he thought I didn’t want him to touch me anymore. He couldn’t understand that just running his fingers over my hand or arm lightly was painful. Making him read up on the disease helped but unless you are someone with chronic pain, it’s hard to relate. I get where you are coming from as my disease has similar symptoms to yours. Fatigue, joint pain, skin pain, etc. Please rest when you need to. It took me a long time to do that. I felt like I needed to get things done and the more I pushed myself the worse I felt! We will wait for your videos whenever you are able to make them. If you want to start doing some advent calendars now as well as other unboxings that’s ok too. I’m just happy to see your happy smiling face. You are such a genuine person and I love your reactions to the products and unboxing. I’ll be here when you are ready ❤ Take care of Tater and Ren too. Oh and Jeremy of course lol
@@rosemarybelore6622 does your skin feel likes it has a sunburn when cold air hits it? Fibro has made mine more sensitive than ever! ♥️🙏
I also have Fibro, and it isn't fun. I have to wear pants if I'm going somewhere I know will have crazy air conditioning because otherwise it feels like someone is pouring boiling water on my legs. And I also have joint pain, so that's fun too. And I'm 8.5 months pregnant, and no one had told me about the crazy flare that comes with it. I hope you and your husband find a good balance. Luckily, mine is more temperature related than pressure, so him touching my skin is sensitive but not painful. I can't imagine what you're going through. ❤
I'd wait till November! I'm sure I'm not the only one that doesn't buy calendars, I'm her for the awesome reactions! 😂❤
Me too 😂😂😂
Same!! The only time I'd ever buy one is if they went on big clearance after the holidays. But as we all know, now they just sell them at regular price all year round...
Same! These videos just make it easy to skip stuff that I don’t genuinely want or need. The idea of the calendar is def more appealing than the actual calendar. I’d rather buy myself holiday treats!
yep same! and i'm not watching any other youtubers opening advent calendars, unless is maybe NerdCrafter with the fidget toys ones cause I know is not Alex's niche
@barbaram6178 same. The only other one I've watched is just ann but she doesn't do more then one or two.
Oh honey, we have told you for years we'd watch you open any box anytime! Please do not let what we want cause you stress or panic! We love you, not the boxes!❤
Definitely switch drs for the adhd meds. The one you have now sounds weird and if they make you uncomfortable, definitely find one that suits and helps you better.
Agreed!! Especially if they're not filling the right doses and refusing to fill her meds!
Although, going every two months is pretty normal for ADHD. Or at least that's what I have to do
Yeah my kid has monthly appointments for his adhd pill and other mental health meds. No refills. @@MaficJustice
*boost* 💯💯💯
I’ve watched you religiously for multiple years and can’t imagine people falling off your channel, cuz I always love your videos!
Honey, don't stress about it. You know we'll watch you open advent calendars any time of year. :)
“I’ll go get the stuff” can I just say, your father sounds like the best dad ever. This story and several of the other things you’ve shared about him and your mom as well, are really heartwarming ❤
Let's clear the pile of boxes behind you (that are already a few months, maybe a year old 😂) and keep the advent calendars for Christmas! It's toooo soon and we have other holidays before! ❤
I seem to recall, that some were/are even older. 😂😂
@@Paperscrapper I think so too! I love seeing opened now! A little throw back!
I just love seing them organized n neat & color coordinated too
I don't buy advent calendars and I don't watch anyone else's advent calendar unboxing videos except for yours, so I would say there's absolutely no rush to do it right now. Just do it when you feel ready.
I say do the food ones as soon as they come in and then wait until November to open the rest. I also love the idea of a bingo card and some recommendations of your favorite calendars of the past. ❤ I honestly never buy the calendars you show, but I love watching you open them. Your reactions are so much fun.
I also have Lupus and lost my insurance so had to stop my Hydroxychloroquine as a result. I have spent the last 3 weeks dealing with chronic pain and terrible stomach issues. It took a while for the meds to "work" for me, but now that I'm not on it, I miss normal so much.
I've been sleeping 16-19 hours a day, also. Hang in there. It gets better.
@@brandyd I'm so sorry! 🙏🙏🙏🙏♥️🥺
I love advent calendar season!! It's my favorite time on UA-cam and my fiancée and I watch them every year together. We look forward to it every year. I think keep it during the season you always have ☺️
The companies should have waited until after Halloween. Please try to catch up with the non Christmas boxes first.
I love going past the Christmas season.
No! Enjoy your favorite seasons, enjoy your beautiful house and please remember that as a fellow chronic illness person, stress can significantly raise flares and will drain you quicker than anything else! I’ve been in this chronic illness and pain realm for18 years and stress really can’t be detrimental! We love you! Enjoy your success!
I would love to see you get through those subscription boxes before advent calendar season!
Side note in terms of the meds, I'm not sure of the laws in Kentucky, but I do all of my therapy and also medication prescriptions via telehealth video calls. Maybe that could be an option for you too? It certainly takes a lot of the anxiety out of the situation for me. 💜
Something about you is so comforting, you're my "safe" channel!
I have a feeling viewship will be up on advent calanders. Jen Luv called you the queen of advent ❤
It's seems a bit soon for calanders to me but again I'm here for anything you do ❤
Hopefully we get her to half a million subscribers
I saw that too! She also provided the link to this channel in her description. I thought too that that should help bring new viewers to the channel.
Advent calendars are always a highlight of the season, but you could read a cereal box for an hour and we would watch it😅
😂❤
I truly don't think I could possibly agree with you more.... Her rhetoric on reading a cereal box for an hour would be so awesome!!😂😂❤❤
"if you made it this far you're a strong soul" NO, I watch every video to the end because I am enjoying myself. I don't know how to translate this to your confidence, but we like you, we really like you!
I say pick one subscription per video and open all of them during that video then by the time you’re done it will be time to open the calendars 🌸
Yes!!!!!❤❤❤
Don't panic as we love after advent season BUT I have watched a couple of advent unboxings but it's not the same and now I won't watch them yet sooooo I'm happy to wait and get ur sub boxes done so u can feel more clear? I love the plouise and the sephora comparisons xx
I personally think we should wait until later in the year. And I like extending the advent season through the winter months. Honestly, everyone is going to love the videos whenever you decide to start them! (And yes, sell us some holiday candles, we'll help fund the expensive advent calendars!)
You do you since that's what I'm here for. I don't actually buy even one advent calendar, I just enjoy watching you open them. If you're looking across your community for preference, put me in the category of waiting until after spooky season. The holidays feel special to me because they are limited. It's like pumpkin spice latte at Starbucks. If it was around all the time, it would lose its specialness, you know? And I don't enjoy the constant push to start the season earlier and earlier. I'd rather have it go later, because it extends the holiday happiness. But I'll watch whenever you do it! And as far as the expensive ones go ... maybe just pick one or two if the expense expand outside of business expenses. Don't put your financial, mental or physical health in jeopardy!❤
My mom used to keep a tree up year round, and she would decorate it for every season. She made ornaments for it for every holiday. 💜
My neighbor does that! It's always so beautiful -- even with the simplest decorations! I think the lights are tiny so there's just a soft glow from it in the evenings...light a nightlight in her kitchen/breakfast area.
We have one too but it's a modern looking one we diy'd. It's basically made up of tree branches my brother and a friend found around where we live, cut them so when they're hung they look like a triangle shape, with nails in them to hang ornaments. We usually keep some pinecones on it and a string with wooden apples on it during the year and just decorate it for Christmas with lights and other types of ornaments.
We do a sort of similar thing but with Halloween bats. We have three amigurumi ones and eventually the family vote was to leave them up year round but with different hats for the seasons. They have little Santa hats for Christmas.
I don’t watch you to determine what to buy, I watch you because you’re just so sweet and fun! And your reactions to the audacity of these companies is just pure entertainment tbh ❤
I say wait on the advent calendars. Im not watching to figure out what to buy for this year, im watching to figure out if I want to grab any next year.
I'll watch no matter when you start advent season so do it when you're comfortable. 💖One thing you can do earlier if you're up for it is maybe an advent calendar tier list or mega cheat-sheet type video where you tell us some of your all-time favorites and no-gos so we can use it as a guide to shop for our own this year. But again, whatever you're up for!
You are so real. It's okay to be real in the time that social media has become so... plastic. Thank you for making it feel okay to express both the ups and downs that come with life.
So looking forward to spooky season and advent season! Anxiety is a struggle for sure... and it's good to pause and breathe. Time feels like we are always behind, but the viewers here... I think the majority of us enjoy seeing the unboxings for both the products, but also for your review of them. It's okay to start early. It's okay to wait. You got this, and you have our support.
November for sure. Just relax and get some other boxes done. You’re going through so much and you’re still doing videos and we love you for it. But don’t stress. And you definitely don’t want to do it before November we can all tell and that’s ok too!! It’s just as much about you as it is us of course!
I would really like to see Advent calendar season to start around the earliest the first of November. I want to enjoy the Halloween season with you.
Hi there! I frequently watch your videos, I kinda look up to you like my awesome long-lost sister (we're only a few month apart in age) I appreciate that you show what's going on behind the scenes, like health issues between you and Tater, house updates, editing videos/hiring (a good fitting) editor, etc. Seriously, I value everything you're willing to tell the world because it makes me feel like I'm not alone, or I'm not the only one experiencing these issues at this age. Thank you for opening up about your life, forreals.
As for advent calendars, I'm mostly here to watch you open the calendars over purchasing them (unless you get super giddy excited about a calendar, like the Liberty London Luxury calendar, your excitement was so adorably precious!) so you open those calendars on your own whim, no need to rush the seasons!
I am definitely a super fan of putting up the tree and Halloween decorating it! If there are any fun/cute Halloween advent calendars, then super bonus!
Another idea is (for next year) have your tree start as a blank slate, and for every advent calendar you open, you can take a piece of the calendar and use it as an ornament to decorate the tree! (most the calendars come with some type of ornament anyways, but can you imagine tying a piece of string to a singular Gummi vitamin packet to hang on the tree? Oml 😂) at the end of the season, show off your amazingly advent-decorated tree! That would be so awesome!
Thank you for putting so much effort and energy into your content! I hope you have so much happiness and an easier/less-stressful year ahead! I'm rooting for you all the way!
(also, I'm sorry I don't stalk your social medias more see your updates/share your posts-- I don't really social media too much, other than the UA-cams)
I hope YOU have a lovely wonderful fantastic day today, since you always wish us viewers the same! 🥰
I love advent calendar season! You do them on your schedule and we will enjoy them whenever they air
Don’t put pressure on yourself about advent season. Get ones you want to do and post as you are able. Your audience is here regardless and will support you. As someone who also lives with a chronic illness and pain, I hope you remember it’s okay to take time and do less. Even if we can’t buy the same ones this year, we can prepare for next year. Your health and mental well being are more important. ❤❤
Your parents sound so loving and generous
I am so glad you are starting to advocate for yourself regarding your health. Your current doctor sounds.... off. I have never heard of a doctor contacting a pharmacy to check on prescriptions. I would switch back asap, you should never feel guilty when visiting the doctor!! Start Advent season when you feel right doing so. I don't intend to buy any, but I just enjoy watching you open and react, and just your Christmasy vibes!
YESSSS!
Girl, finish your stacks and let's start Advent calendars as they come in!
❤you!
I just wanted to comment THANK YOU❤ You being so vulnerable and candid about your lupus journey has really helped me! When you talked about your symptoms, I started crying because I was like, that sounds like the things I have going on. So because of you, I spoke with my family doctor, and she ordered the bloodwork (ANA titer and pattern and ALL the other ones), and it came back positive. So they are thinking I either have Lupus or Sjorgrens. So in a week, I go see a rheumatologist at the University of Cincinnati because I also have severe Crohns disease that is also being cared for by another specialist there! Yikes, I'm so sorry that I typed a novel but I really just wanted to thank you ...because of you being so open I realized that I don't have to suffer thinking something is really wrong with me and that I need to just deal with it! So, thank you from the bottom of my heart! I wish all the best on your journey🫶💕
🫂
hope it goes well for you.
@@StLsalsagirl thank you🫶💕
This 60 year old struck survivor has been watching you for a VERY LONG TOME. I love you. I’ll pray for your strength to cope and tack control you your health. Just believe more in your self. Remember you have a wonderful husband and family by you. That includes your UA-cam family also.❤️
Wait till after Spooky Season please! I like the idea of you opening the food ones as they come in but wait till Nov to start the videos. Last year I loved that you did a "preview" video where you showed us all of the calendars we could look forward to you opening to kick things off. Your calendar videos really mark the holiday season for me but I don't think I'd want to watch them till after Halloween. 🖤🧡🖤🧡
Do whatever stresses you out the least. Your loyal viewers will watch whatever you post, whenever you post it. We’re here for you and your lovely personality!
My biggest opinion is please use a realtor to sell your home that’s their job and will do all of the difficult work for you that is what they do and they’d work for you. Good luck selling the home! Additionally if you finish up your packages you already have that way you may not have so much anxiety around advent calendar season.
I have fibromyalgia and neurology problems and the symptoms you were describing about your hand and the pain in your touch is exactly what I feel
And about the scrubby thing hurting the skin when it’s not supposed to hurt. I’m diagnosed with fibromyalgia and experience those extra sensitive type of symptoms and the tightening tendons.
What helps give you relief?
I say reduce the stress of pushing it all into a smaller time period and just start now. I'm here for it.
I think advent season should wait! I’d love to see you get through the subscription boxes first or at least a good dent
I wish you could see yourself through our eyes! We love you and don't think it's babbling! Anything you record is good enough for us, regardless of how you look at it, I promise we will love it. You are what makes all your videos awesome!!! Hope you start feeling better soon. Give the babies some love from us. ❤
BIG HUGS!!! ❤ We all care massively about you. ❤
Our dog slipped a disc recently and we’ve been on the every 8 hours & every 12 hours med cycle. I think you should also give yourself credit for how relentless that schedule is. It not only requires planning and alarms and scheduling but also staying up late and getting up early relentlessly.
Don't stress!! Start advent season whenever u want and do it for as long as u want. I do agree with someone else that commented to do the food ones first that way u don't have to worry about them not being fresh or good.
I'm glad you got your stairs fixed for your babies! The new Dr's office seems like a mess... I've seen so much Halloween that I am burnt out on it and it isn't even October yet. Open the boxes you want to I will be here to watch anything you want to do. I'm not voting because I am going to watch you either way! Bingo cards sound so fun!!!
I'm good with whatever you want to do! To be honest, I stopped wearing makeup years ago and watch all your videos because I enjoy watching you. I hope it doesn't stress you out too much, because you've got a pack of loyal viewers here.
Speaking for myself, you are literally the only channel i watch advent calendar unboxings on lol. No matter when you post, ill be watching 🎉 i personally feel its too early but you do whatever feels right girl ❤
Fellow Lupus girl here. I think the first 6 months or so after diagnosis are the hardest. The meds haven't fully kicked in yet, and you're learning about your illness but haven't had the time to really understand it yet. You haven't had a chance to figure out what things work best for your body, like do you need 9 hours of sleep each night or are you better when you don't eat gluten or if lavender-scented lotion makes your skin hurt more than unscented.
Hang in there! Please make a list of all the possible symptoms so that you can discuss them with your rheumatologist. Lean on your family and friends as needed. And, most importantly, give yourself a lot of grace.
As another lupus girlie here, agreed. The first 6-12 months for me were the worst. It took months to get stuff settled with the meds and the side effects. Now it’s been more than a decade and I still have weird days (when I get over fatigued my eyes keep trying to cross and my eye doctor says it’s probably just the muscles giving up), but I’m way down on all my meds and you get used to a lot of things. I definitely don’t miss the tummy trouble parts of taking the plaqueil/hydroxychloroquine.
Another lupus girlie here, and I am a year post-diagnosis and still struggling. It definitely takes time to find the right treatment. I am not there yet, but I have hope that we will eventually get there.
@@jennifervaniel8269 I was diagnosed 23 years ago. I can't tell you that everything is going to be sunshine and roses. Lupus still sucks. But it does eventually become easier to handle. You will find the right doctors for your (very individual) type of lupus. The doctors will find the right medication or set of medications for your body. Things will stabilize to the point where you can settle into your new normal. You will probably have flares and your life might not be the same as it was before, but you can still have a pretty darn good life.
If you haven't yet, please consider finding an online or in person support group. The Lupus Foundation has them in every state or can direct you to the support network in your country if you live elsewhere. Only other lupies really understand the craziness of it all. Hugs to you and Alexandria both!
Honestly I would watch year round advent calendar season but also I will watch them whenever you feel it’s the right time to open them!
I'd totally watch them all year round too!
If you're worried about them selling out before the Advent season. My suggestion is to do a Video of all the Advent calendars you would like to get BUT just put Screenshots of the Calendars in the Video and either do a Voice over or do a Side by Side showing us which ones are available.
That's a really great idea!
@kittykatmeowers3392 Thank You 😊
Don't worry over us, we'll be here for whenever you are able to release advent themed videos. We'll wait for when you're ready. Take good care of yourself and your health first. ❤
mood girl, I'm also chronically ill (EDS/POTS) and have been seeking medical care for a decade and definitely don't see any doctor that makes you feel too nervous to ask for the care you need. it's counterintuitive to you getting better if you can't communicate with them so even if they're the best doctor in the world it's not worth it! also I definitely feel the whole "finding out little things about the way you function are actually part of your illness", I learned so many things about me weren't normal....
Hi fellow zebra, I have those diagnoses too! I agree wholeheartedly, you have to feel comfortable with your care team. Sometimes it is very hard to find a caring doc you trust. It's always worth getting 2nd or 3rd opinions if you need it.
@@jenniferdevinney541 fellow zebra!!!! shakes your hoof hahaha. definitely, finding the right experts who really care about you and your highly specific condition is all the difference. I really hope alexandira is looking into physical therapy that's inclusive to her lupus-related pain issues too, since I think that was by far the most helpful thing for me! relearning how to move seems simple but it's the foundation for a easier life.
Zebras unite! 🦓🦓🦓
Youre my ultimate comfort youtuber. Take care of yourself, ill watch anything you post, whenever you post it.
As delightful as watching you tear into advent boxes is, please wait until spooky season is over. My preference is after the big 🦃. Glad tater is doing better.
Don’t let what others are doing make you feel anxious and behind. Work at your pace, do what is best for YOU and your channel. We adore watching your videos and whenever you want to post the calendars, we will be here!! Don’t feel rushed or anxious, just do what feels right to you! Please take care of yourself ❤
I will be here whichever way you decide to do Advent Season, but for me personally, it's more exciting to wait until November 1st. I just feel more festive then and I don't think it's always a positive thing to rush forward to the next thing. Time already goes so fast that sometimes I just like to sit back and enjoy the present
I have had lupus from birth but wasn’t properly diagnosed until I was in my late 20s. When I switched to brand name Plaquenil it made an enormous difference!!!
I had claw hand too!! I had cortisone injections to alleviate the contractions. It helped a ton!
I don’t buy Advent calendars but I love to watch you open them! I personally would prefer to wait until November 1st but you do what is best for you ❤
Please wait. I love your cozy fall spoopy content too. Don't let the corporate schedules take away a whole season you love.
Definitely change doctors. You need to feel comfortable. They are not acting normal. I take 4 bigger medications and one is a narcotic. I have never been treated like that. Don't stress about advent calendars either. If you feel weird starting then now, wait until November. We watch for what you do. 💙
Maybe it's better waiting for advent calendar season, BUT you could do massive unboxings of other boxes so you won't have a hoard of boxes growing while you start focusing on the calendars?
Advent calendar season is my favorite time of the year whenever you are ready I'm here for it.
Advent calendar season is the best time! I will watch them all regardless of the time. I’d say start whenever you feel more comfortable and less stressed. I also can’t believe how early everything is coming out in the stores. There’s Halloween/fall/Christmas it’s wild!
I love advent calendar season but especially the affordable ones (because those ones are the most realistic for most people!!)
Your advent calendar videos helped me struggle through a serious illness last year. My fiancé and I are currently rewatching some from previous years (while preparing for our wedding!). Please take your time. Consumer protection never goes off-season!
YESSS! We loooove new videos in this family! ❤ My 3 month old daughter is entranced by you. 🥰😂
❤
Alex, the answer to your question about early advent season is the impending dock workers strikes on both coasts. If you think grocery prices are high now just wait. Your $6 dollar bag of chips will be $12, if the stores can get them.
I've been watching old Advent calendar videos for like two weeks. I'm ready!
Also I wanted to add that if YOU'RE not ready to start don't do it. Start when you're ready. I made my Mom take my Sephora one and hide it until Thanksgiving so I don't get sad and tempted
It's sooo important to have a Dr you can talk to! In Va, tests are done either bc of insurance or randomly chosen. They want to see a positive result - that you are the one taking it. An OT can be really helpful with hand pain!
There are Halloween advent calendars that you could open now! :D ❤
Yes! ❤
Please be well. Sending you so much healing love! ❤
Yep, I ordered my Once Upon A Book Club advent calendar in July (Pre ordered).
Maybe do an advent calendar deep dive video now talking about which ones to purchase, which to skip, etc. and then starting the actual unboxings in November. It’s kinda a happy medium. Personally, I prefer to watch any advent calendar unboxings after Halloween has passed.
Open Advent Calendars!!!!
Many blessings!!!💖💖💖
I’m so Excited for advent season
You can ask your vet to switch Tater to Keppra ER (extended release) which has twice a day dosing and then your med schedule could be just 7am/7pm instead of 4 pill times per day (we did that with my dog and it was a huge relief!) Apparently the efficacy is the same for both versions of the pill.
I can’t wait for advent season!!!!
Yeah, honestly doesn’t matter too much what you’re unboxing, I’m here for your relaxing and relatable personality.
Wait I have a new lupus diagnosis and it’s so hard. Praying for you girl!
I’ve had it since I was 15 I’m now 38. It’s ebbs and flows. At times it gets easier. You’ll have to figure out what meds work for you. Find an awesome rheumatologist. If they are addressing your needs MOVE ON! Best advice I can give you.
Right now I’m in remission and the last time I was; my daughter was 5. She is now 20.
Everyone deserves a doctor they're comfortable with, who listens and responds appropriately. 100% you need to find another doctor. Soon. You can do advent anytime you like. If I were picking, I'd wait until November 1st. But I'll be happy to watch them anytime!
Maybe count down to Advent season Saturdays starting now?? One day instead of all videos.
I like that idea
Love this!!
Don’t stress over your meds, it can’t take a long time to find the right ones. I have been through so many now and do have spells of them working for a while and then just stopping. Humira was a med that worked for me for over 2 years and I was overjoyed and then it stopped working all of a sudden. I am currently on Azathioprine only with one other med for ulcers, I needed a break after a stroke and heart attack. I may heave stem cell transplant if needed, but I am waiting for lung surgery before we decide. I have Lupus amongst another 2 autoimmune / auto inflammatory disease, congenital heart defect, stoke, heart failure, stage 4 lung disease, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, arthritis and a few others. You find what works for you and you will get a pace back into life.
Let’s GGGOOOOOOO!!!
