“tik tok made it look so easy” me before any epic fail lately 😂
I am never attempting an “easy” tiktok again😩😩😩
oh my god i’m so excited to hear your thoughts on the starless sea.
could i have waited to comment this until you mentioned it.... sure, but who would i be if i had patience 🧐
@@oliviareadsalatte I’m not finished yet but so far I love it!!!
a tip: you can watch series at kaldrostream. Me and my gf have been using them for watching all kinds of movies during the lockdown.
@Liam Anthony Yup, been using KaldroStream for years myself :)
My husband and I wanted to say "Merry Christmas' and thank you for getting us into reading together. We hope you enjoy 'The Complete Grimm's' , unfortunately it wouldn't let us add a note.
AHHHH OMG THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!! I was so excited I can’t thank you enough!!!!!! Merry Christmas I’m sending you both lots of hugs!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@alexandraroselyn I'm so glad you like it; and your videos are thanks enough. Never change.
"These are bones" killed me! for peets sake haha 😄 🤣
I was so done at that point hahahaha
@@alexandraroselyn You did seem rather D.O.N.E at that moment 😆 but I am so happy you left it in hehe
That made me laugh so hard😂
“Smells like someone I want to make out with.” “When in doubt Betty Crocker!” “Tastes like nail polish.” Iconic Lexi quotes! Girl luv you! ❤️
I aspire for my vlogs to be this aesthetic, calming, and funny honestly. Your vlogs are some of my absolute favorites
Omg that’s so kind of you to say thank you🥺❤️
literally same omg
Wait- did you just casually drop that you’re Mayan?!?!?! What!!!!!! That is so interesting! Is that weird to say? Have you done any videos about that? That would be so cool 😄
Alexi is so much fun to watch she should be a television personality and get paid millions
when you said “maybe I need to add water to it” I gasped 😭😂 even if you have a bit of water on the spoon, it will make the chocolate unusable, possibly what made it chunky (sadly learnt it through my own mistakes). loving vlogmas so far 🥰
Ok. I've decided. I'm leaving my family and moving in with you, Lexi. LOL. Your house is absolutely beautiful. ❤
"these are bones" had me CACKLING
Hii, Alexandra ! Love you vlogs ! Few tips with chocolate don’t add water or milk, and also melt the chocolate on a bath mary (use a pot with boiling water and on top lay a glass or stainless steel bowl and there you put the chocolate so it doesn’t burn the way it did the second time. Keep the recipes coming and a second try 🥰☕️
Also if the water bath doesn’t work for you you can melt the chocolate slowly in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time and stirring between each interval. I usually end up burning myself when I try the double boiler method so I prefer the microwave
Lexi you seriously just need a whole baking segment on your channel! Please! 🤩
Oh you have to watch Winters Tale. Such a nice film. I was planning on rewatching next weekend.
Love The Snow Child! One of my fav books of the year!
Despereaux after getting banished to the dungeon "these are bones"
hahahahaha!
The coffee shop Christmas music video at 5:05 is THE ONE
“I had dreamed about my ex and I think that it had brought up lots of bad luck today”
- lexi
Like this is my favourite line in the whole video 😂
(Ps: I sometimes feels the same way 😂)
Your chocolate siezed. Heat water and put a bowl over the pan (don't let the water touch the bowl) and melt slowly. Or use the microwave. Heat in 10 second intervals and stir
I read The House in the Cerulean Sea and it was just as great as you said it was. I smiled the entire time reading it. Thank you very much for recommending it.
Gorgeous video 😊 The Toy Makers is EXCELLENT. One of my favourites ever. Enjoy x
I'm currently reading 'The Starless Sea' too!
I’m loving your vlogs! I just finished The Starless Sea today. It was also my most anticipated book of the year, and I’m glad to say the writing is just as lush and lovely as The Night Circus. I enjoyed it and definitely want to reread it. Merry Christmas and thanks for being such a joyous and kind presence on BookTube.
Loved the baking. I baked on Saturday for 7 hours. It's my self care also. 😁
Your videos and personality always make my day 😊
Omg thank you so much!
Ooo your brandy Alexander reminded me of a cosy bailey's hot chocolate. If you're of age and want something cosy on a cold evening, this is the stuff!!
Loved that you tried to do the tiktok recipe and It failed, this is so relatable!! :(
your videos just never fail to cheer me up, i wish we were friends in real life, you have such an amazing personality :)
Omg that’s so kind of you thank you!! And it’s okay we can be online friends! I talk to you guys more than anyone else anyway lol
I’m excited to try your version- the Brandy Alexandra
I’m months late but just discovered you and have been binge watching your vids. You are such a Delight to watch and hilarious. “These are bone” took me out! 😂🤣
Making cinnamon buns to this video... thank u thank u thank you for sharing yourself with others. It makes me feel less alone. All my love and support. 💙
Ahhh your vlogs put me in the Christmas mood which is pretty special during COVID✨🎄
The liveshow was so much fun! I can't wait to do it again!
Yes I had the best time with you!! Please come back any time you’d like Liv I had so much fun!!
“I had a dream about my ex and I feel like it has brought a lot of bad luck to today soooo.....” 😂😂😂😂 thank you for giving me a go to remark whenever I fail a random internet tutorial. December just keeps on giving lmao. Loved your vlog!!❤️
This vlog was so lovely! So cozy and Chrismassy. I'm high key upset that I slept through the Greenglass House liveshow...like devastated lol. I love you and thank you so much for everything you do!!!
This was one of the coziest vlogs I've watched so far this Christmas
Okay wait your bathtub looks so pretty!
i find your videos lately, and I really enjoy your vlogs! always with such a bubbly and nice energy 💕
I really loved The Snow Child. Definitely a good January pick. Thanks for entertaining me with another awesome blog. Honestly just like to watch them to relax and be cozy. You always make me smile.
I LOVE YOU, Lexi. You always do the fun things I think about, but decide are too much work 🤣
PS I’ve never noticed your dining room before. Would love to see the rest of Christmas decorations. I love what you did in your kitchen.
I LOVE your animated intros
Favorite part: picked up dog treats instead of sugar cookie bag
You baking is so freaking wholesome!
I love your channel!! You have a great sense of humor!
And I need you to do this like 4 times a week. You bring such joy!
Omygosh! I just died at the part where Kelis’s “Milkshake” came on! 🤣🤣🤣 This drink looks amazing! I’m totally feeling the chilled glass, ice cream, & whip cream. Awww! You cookies look so beautifully yummy! 🤗😍😍 Omygosh! This cover of Dorian Gray is cool! 🤗🤗🤗 Omygosh! This Grimm’s fairytales edition is beautiful! 😍😍😍 I too love fairytales & retellings so much!💕💕💕 I love you, Lexi!!! 🥰🥰🥰 Happy Reading! 🤓📚🎄✨
Love the x-mas tree cookies!😍
And when your x-mas sweather was meowing it spooked my cat. 😂😂
You have no idea how wholesome and cozy your videos are to me 😍 You're the best, Lexi ❤️
Buble is the best for Christmas music!
As always your vlogs are so perfect, funny, and happy! They make me feel like I’m hanging out with a good friend😊
Ugh I love your vlogs truly. Also thanks for reviewing the tea! I recently moved to El Paso Texas and spicy is a way of life here lol. This past summer I got a slushy off of a food truck and it had some sort of hot sauce in it. I had never had a spicy slushy before but let me tell you, ya girl is hooked!! so I am definitely gunna have to try chili in my hot chocolate now, thanks so much for the recommendation!
Side note: I feel like UA-camrs suffer from the "no one wants to see this syndrome" have you noticed that? they'll say, 'I skipped the part where I did xyz, because you guys don't wanna see that boring stuff again...' and I'm like WE DO! We watch your channel because we love whatever you do! Please never feel like you shouldn't include 'boring work' because we may not be interested... I personally enjoy the everyday 'uneventfulness' of a vlog. You pick good music and wear pretty sweaters
Oh my gosh fairytale retellings are my favourite things to read!! Have you ever done a recommendations video for them? I'd love to know your favourites :)
Omg yes!! That might have been me with one of the recommendations!! The Toymakers has been so magical and heartbreaking so far! I really hope you enjoy it. ☺️
How are you not a bartender or a baking channel - wait omg you should be like a holiday less alcohol but more sweets bartender lol. Also I relate to wanting more heavy cream and less alc hahahha
This video was so cute I love watching Cooking Lexi!!
Random question. Is your tub a rose quartz stone? Or just pink. It’s so cool. Love your channel and all your vlogmas content 🎄
I’ve decided to call it Carmel Bru-le latte from now on!😜 love your vlogs!!!!
Watching this while working. I just love hearing your voice its very calming. Thank you again for this very christmassy video
"I think I need a knife...This [package] looks pretty intense" Lexi takes out like a fish gutting knife lol
Your face was just so priceless when you opened The Complete Grimm's, so priceless. I love how excited you get when you open your gifts :)
I’m so intimidated to make the hot chocolate bombs lol. I heard they have them at cost co. I’ll probably go that route. I would end up with chocolate on my ceiling 😂
hey love your videos its always a pleasure! just a side note with eye patches you want to put the pointed end in the corner of your eye so that way it can close up and the widest edge towards your ear lol or don t whatever lol I see so many people put them on like you and its actually backwards. Thanks again for your great content
The holiday special is wonderful. Week Number Two, baby 📚 Santa Claus is coming to town 🏂
I am so sad 😭 that I missed your live show! Thanking for recommending Greenglass House. Ending up borrowing from a friend and loved it. I honestly didn't want to return it to her. 🤣 Saving up to buy and read the rest of the series. Thank you. You are such an amazing person.
I hope you like the starless sea!!! It’s one of my favorites I actually purchased a copy after borrowing it from the library🙈
Your vlogs and videos are always so calming and aesthetically pleasing! I love your personality, you are such a sweet angel 😍 I hope you had a very Merry Christmas 🎄 ❤️
New subscriber here. You are such a delight to watch, thank you for bringing joy into my life and reigniting my love of books. A really great distraction as we are in another lock down.
And guess what?! It’ll still be magical! You’ll still have holly jolly cheer😭😭😂😂
That first sweater is the perfect Christmas sweater 😩😍😍 Can I ask where you got it?
I also love fairy tales so much! ❤🥰
Is anyone asking themselves what there is in that cookie mix if you need to add flour, eggs and butter? Is it just sugar and baking soda?
THATS WHAT I SAID!! I cut that part out of my vlog but I don't understand why I had to add flour!!!!! Now I'm upset for cutting that part out I thought I'd look dumb for asking that haha.
Literally brightens my day to watch your videos 🤍
Try the Java Chip with whip cream and chocolate syrup. YUM
Double boiler is probably what is going wrong. You get a metal bowl and put it on top a boiling sauce pan.
I'm wrapping christmas gifts right now and your video pops up. PERFECTION!! So excited to watch the video sitting beside my christmas tree!
What a cozy afternoon!! Have fun wrapping presents!!
This vlog was so fun! I have the Snow Child on my TBR for this winter! would love hear your thoughts whenever you get to it :)
To be honest, your version of the Brandy Alexander sounds way better. Ice cream makes everything better
Ohhh Lexi, I like the necklace you were wearing when you made cookies. I’m looking for some new staple pieces.
I am so gonna try the hot chocolate with a pinch of chili powder. Sounds so good!
I love watching your vlogs they're my favorite
Video number 160. I always love watching your videos! I miss them, in fact. But, I really wanted to read my books for a while before coming back to UA-cam videos this way (haven't read much, though). I still watch newer videos when they get posted, but I thought it would be good to focus on my reading for a while because I read nothing while I watched Jadee's videos and I don't know how long it took me to get through them all!! LOL
I bought The Toy Makers with the intention of reading it, but once I realized there weren't that many chapters, which meant that the chapters were super long, I lost interest in this book. I don't know if I will ever read it at this point.
I also bought a Grimms fairytales book and gave up on it because the stories were boring but I wanna try to keep going in order of appearance anyway. One day I will get to the rest, but not this year.
See you tomorrow!
Different than books but I think you would love the new Amazon tv show “the wilds”! It’s sooo good. Highly recommend.
I love all the Christmas-y vibes in this video 🎄❤️ I kinda want to bake sugar cookies now haha
Aw thank you! And I hope you do! I had so much fun baking mine haha
Lexi you're amazing, you're my inspiration to start my own booktube channel.... thank you for your amazing contents. 🤩
Have a great day everyone!
Ok here's the thing, I watch these videos and I find myself needing to comment repeatedly on all the fun stuff. So you might find multiple comments from me :D #1, I'm French-Canadian, and your crème de cacao pronunciation was VERY good! A+ #2 I died when you grabbed the bag of bones thinking it was the sugar cookie package. Ok, your cookies look DELISH, I'm going to continue to watch now...
You need to read the Sister's Grimm series by Micheal Buckley, it is peak middle grade!
Mayan,...that’s super cool!
Thank you!!!
I don't think I've seen you mention it before but I massively recommend the Keeper of the Lost Cities series by Shannon Messenger. It's an amazing middle grade series that I recommend to anyone who will listen 🤣
Spiced hot chocolate is so yummy. My husband got me hooked on it.
i love how you're saying "so" with a british accent hahaha
I WISH I WAS BRITISH😩😩😩😩😩
Tik Tok is always tricking us! I’m too old for tik tok 😂
Or you could just put a Lindt truffle of your choice of flavor in your hot chocolate. Wink wink
...omg that’s genius
The intro already has me laughing so hard 😂
I have awful allergies all year round. and for whatever reason this month they have been especially bad. same goes for my dad and my nephew.
Mayan 🤯
That is amazing!
So, today I decided to try your chili powder trick and honestly, not bad.
Oh my God! Everything is awesome! And as it was yesterday too! Yeee!
Aw thank you so much!!
I don't remember if I've asked you this already of it you've read it before but the Candymakers is literally a book about kids who live and do a competition at a candy factory and its Middle Grade and literally has you all over it!!
Hi omg I had so much fun yesterday during the live game and book review.
Omg yay!! That makes me so happy to hear!! I loved chatting with you guys I had the best time!!
@@alexandraroselyn we did too I just felt like part of an amazing huge friends book club I loved it.
I recently watched RachhLoves (on her RachhLovesLife channel) doing those hot chocolate bombs in a Testing TikTok Christmas Baking Hacks video and apparently you have to do two layers of the chocolate, it failed with just one.
Maybe you can find some hints on how to do them successfully in that video :)
Yaaaaay you finally read it 💃
I NEVER drink alcohol but when December comes around I’m guzzling mulled wine by the jug. (I need it extra sweet with lots of clementines to make it taste less like wine though lol)
Me too!!!
I mean, if you can’t at Christmas when can you?😂🎄
Omg sorry for being so late! Blame my time zone 😭😭
