Amazed how well Meryl took to having a bath. My cat Larry is long haired and has only become more tolerant of brushing. He is a stray from the shelter so clearly wasn't used to it. However, he does a great job grooming himself and looks very handsome. Plus, his vet said it's ok to skip bathing if too stressful. Nature can take care of itself. :)
Larry sounds like an angel 😇 we need to treat our lil adopted babies with extra grace and love - who knows what they’ve been through in their past lives! 🥹
Meryl is such a great cat! She was soooo calm! If you cut her little nails (not de clawing) and gently file using a pet nail filer you're pants won't be ruined!! Also brushing her regularly will def help with your allergies!
I’ve also heard wiping down with a damp microfiber cloth daily can help control the dander as well. Have I done this for my husband who is deathly allergic? NO but it’s always an option 😅🤣
Allana, I’ve always loved your posts & related hard to your quirky personality… but your recent openness on consumerism and health/wellness has made me like your channel even more. Hope you’re having a great day!
The fact that Meryl didn’t MURDER you for bathing her… impressive. You should be proud 😂😍 she wins the award of most well behaved cat! You have all her trust 😆
I was laughing the whole way through this vlog. From the slide in to announce the laundry basket, Meryl's bath (omg my heart, so precious), and the zomboni. You are sunshine! Cannot express enough how much I love the content you are uploading. HGW, eating well, sunday resets. This is what I live for. Waking up to a clean kitchen truly is the best. How are you enjoying the new laundry basket? Do you find the compartments are big enough?
As a cat mom for many years, I’m not sure if you have scratching posts and cat trees around your home for Meryl. It really helps give cats a place of their own especially when they’re stressed or anxious! 😸
Ahhh I wish I could have saved old lives from the periscope days haha we’ve been through many a tree and tower and Meryl NEVER touched them 😂😅 she loves her lil straw ikea mats!
You’re not the only ones to feel empty after Lanmas & Everyday May. For me as a viewer ( that sounds a bit creepy ) it’s like having the best time with your friend for a month. Having our coffee together in the morning and doing our makeup together- and then after a month your bestie is just gone 😢. Anyway I’m happy that you’re posting videos again after your well deserved break. I need all of the distraction I can get after the loss of my beloved cat. 2024 didn’t start in the best way for me💔😭. Lots of love from Sweden. 💕
Allana I feel the same about my husband. I’m 55 and he turned 60 yesterday. I’ve had a few different health issues since Thanksgiving and he has taken the best care of me. Never made me feel anything but loved. It’s the best feeling. ❤
I enjoy your channel soooo much, and I especially loved the bright lip at the end and Meryl of course🥰 I hope the piano practice is going well for you, that’s a little something we have in common.😌
Hello! I love Meryl's meows so much and she was so well behaved. I would appreciate your opinion on the Erborian CC Water in comparison to the Chanel tint you love so much. xo
Quality laundry baskets are hard to find so thanks for sharing! We started sorting our clothes based on texture not color and it’s life changing! (e.g. cotton, linen,soft material / spandex, Elastane, sports clothes / towels,robes)
Aaaaah Meryl was soooo good and cute in the bath but the look she gave the camera when you where holding her in the towl was the best 😄 as always Love your vids.. you and Dan is such a great team 💮
I would love for you to review the drug store dupe of the channel foundation! Merrill was so good in the bath. I am glad she wasnt mad at you after. Shes so sweet. I love my yeti mug too and dont feel the need to get a Stanley one.
The Mirena cool got rid of pretty much all period issues for me, best thing I done after years of misery. Doesn't affect fertility once you take it back out. Lasts 5 yrs unless you remove.
-51° is when hell hath frozen over 😂. I too am amazed by how well Meryl did with the bath. She was so much less stressed by it than my dog is and my dog goes swimming! Sweet girl. 😻
I totally feel you on the days of the month 😂 I wish I could just say no to having my period. Period. 😂 For the first two days I feel so bad I can't. I can't do anything but laying in bed and sleeping (if the pain isn't to bad, otherwise I won't even be able to sleep) it's crazy how these hormonal phases can affect your life...
You can't imagine how much I appreciate you converting Celsius to Fahrenheit - I've only used C my entire life but it's so amazing that your made sure the audience will understand without the need to go and google for themselves. It's the small details 🤓❤
You are my beverage twin! Ice rules! My hubby of 42 years does special things like that for me. It’s a part of the magic. ✨ (when we lived in Northern Wisconsin, the temp was -56° actual temperature)
Meryl is a good kitty. Give her extra treats. I bathed my cats as needed…aka when they weren’t doing their own baths for various reasons…or when I wanted them to smell nicer…but definitely not too often
My 2 kitties go ballistic anywhere near water. I gave up and started using cat wipes that have gentle, natural ingredients. They quite like the wipes. Also, i got the vet to teach me how to trim their nails so i do it more often at home and clothes are fine, couches much better now.
glad to be on the pills 😅 i no longer have my period! i take it because i have endometriosis and so it stops my period, i still have some pain sometimes but not like before thankfully
You definitely don’t need your give Meryl a regular, but this is a good reason to do so. As I get older as well, they sometimes aren’t able to groom themselves as much and that’s when you’ll need to start to regularly groom them. I only wash my cats either their paws or their entire body if I have to otherwise I don’t. And I double check with their vets every year just in case something changes.
Not having a period when I was pregnant and postpartum was the DREAM. And also seeing my baby covered in blood changed my perspective about it not being gross month to month. ❤️
Does yeti make your water taste like metal? Because I feel like mine gets that metallic taste if I don't drink it the same day and it's gross. However idk if it's just all in my head or if it really does happen. I played with my cat in water and she got used to water. I usually shower her yearly for summer so she can dry faster too since she hates any form of drying her fur.
I just tried your mugcake recipe and OMG IT IS FIIIIIRE!!!! THANK YOU!!!! I tried so many but often they were so dry and just not tasty but this one 😚👌 delicioso
I've never bathed my cats either lol! I don't think it's necessary on a regular basis but I think you did the right thing by bathing her when she was stressed out and not grooming! You're such a good cat mom :)
I'd love a Meryl bath extended cut lol. Also, do you cook your shrimp from frozen, or do you thaw it first? It always looks so good and I want to make it.
Meryl is a Badass!!! Cats usually despise being placed in water. I love a lap cat, and yes they ruin all the clothing 😩. That was hilarious that you chose the Tigers Blood flavor 😂.
Loved the vlog! I started using Brumate mugs last year because I cannot stand Stanley and because they are 100% spill proof. Love them...on another topic 😅 those earrings at the end! Maybe you have already mentioned where they are from, but can you pls refresh that info? Ty! ❤
I had a hysterectomy when I turned 50 (medical reasons) & omg it was the best present I ever bought myself 🤦🏻♀️ It was the devil that arrived every month 👿 I love my children & are so grateful for them but I hated it 😭 Sending sisterly warm hugs that I understand 🤗
It is so rare that I see something on your channel that I already have and I feel like this time the influencing was the other way around (even though it wasn’t lol) about the Joseph & Joseph laundry basket hahaha my partner decided we *must* have it 6 months ago so we bought it and then started seeing it everywhere, it’s great 🥹 I will say though the urge to scoop out your clothes from the individual baskets when you can just lift the sleeve out entirely is so high and I always feel dumb for doing it months after buying and using it 😂
Lol I have only had to bathe my kitties when they were little (yay, ringworm!). Since they are a bonded pair though they keep each other very clean. Meryl probably could use the help sometimes. ❤
I aauughree! I have the same Yeti but the 35oz and it’s perfect for work and in the car. It keeps my drinks nice and cold! I don’t get the Stanley craze lol 😂 and I love Meryl! I work at a vet clinic and I assure you it’s fine to give your cat baths; I bathe my cat once every 2-3 months. 😸🐾💖
Meryl gets a bath is the content I didn’t know I needed 🥹
She’s too pure 😭
I am OBSESSED with Meryl, her meows whenever you stop speaking crack me up
Amazed how well Meryl took to having a bath. My cat Larry is long haired and has only become more tolerant of brushing. He is a stray from the shelter so clearly wasn't used to it.

The sass Meryl was giving you at the dinner table completely SENT me over the edge 😂😂😂 I cannot stop replaying that part, so funny
12:30 the picture of complete contentment…being with mommy is Meryl’s whole world even if it means enduring a bath 💜💜
Allana, I’ve always loved your posts & related hard to your quirky personality… but your recent openness on consumerism and health/wellness has made me like your channel even more. Hope you’re having a great day!
The fact that you survived the bath just goes to show you how much she trusts you. ❤️
She’s my lil person 🥹
The fact that Meryl didn’t MURDER you for bathing her… impressive. You should be proud 😂😍 she wins the award of most well behaved cat! You have all her trust 😆
She wouldn’t hurt a fly 🥹😭
Your energy and enthusiasm, how you talk, is just great. Make me smile. Keep the vlogs coming
🥹 appreciate you 🥹🫶🏻
Yes! I was going to comment the same thing. Her energy and humor is everything. There is just something special that keeps me so engaged!
Ok but your outfit on day 1 with the white sweater and blue dynamite jeans...SO pretty❤... the hair, the makeup, the jewellery, everything!
I am wholeheartedly a dog person but Meryl's bath made me feel things I didn't know I could feel. Little angel
You giving Meryl a bath was the joy I needed today. Thank you.
Awww Meryl is such good brave girl ❤❤❤❤
Omg it's so cute that Dejan is so nice and pampering you! That's adorable.
He’s my angel! 🥹

Several scratching posts are a must for a healthy, happy cat
Meryl is such a cutie. Since she tolerates bathes so well- regular bathing helps tremendously with allergies ❤
Yesss that’s the hope sos 😅

I agree with all of that completely! I am so sorry for the loss of your fur baby. Hugs for you.
@@juelclyne7392 thank you 💕
@@erinames7783 thank you 💕
Ahhh I’m so sorry bb 😢 all my love to you and your passed sweet fur baby 🫶🏻💗
Allana I feel the same about my husband. I’m 55 and he turned 60 yesterday. I’ve had a few different health issues since Thanksgiving and he has taken the best care of me. Never made me feel anything but loved. It’s the best feeling. ❤
Ahhh he sounds like the best ❤ wishing you well and so much love in your recovery bb! Xx
I enjoy your channel soooo much, and I especially loved the bright lip at the end and Meryl of course🥰 I hope the piano practice is going well for you, that’s a little something we have in common.😌
Laughed so much at the Meryl in the bath omg. Loved this vlog 🥲♥
Hello! I love Meryl's meows so much and she was so well behaved. I would appreciate your opinion on the Erborian CC Water in comparison to the Chanel tint you love so much. xo
Awww 🥰 Meryllll having a bath was the icing on the vlog. Allana, love the lip color on you at the end of the vlog ❤❤
Quality laundry baskets are hard to find so thanks for sharing! We started sorting our clothes based on texture not color and it’s life changing! (e.g. cotton, linen,soft material / spandex, Elastane, sports clothes / towels,robes)
i’m loving the weekly vlogs, Meryl’s war cry has to be one of my favourite things ever. keep the content coming 🫶🏼
You bathing Meryl has been the best video to date😂😂😂
Meryl content lightening up this depressing working day ❤ she needs her own vlogs
your facial expression after bathing the cat is just priceless!! 😁😁😁😁
Aaaaah Meryl was soooo good and cute in the bath but the look she gave the camera when you where holding her in the towl was the best 😄 as always Love your vids.. you and Dan is such a great team 💮
Yessssss great timing still plugging away with work and had old Lan videos on. This was a great surprise 😊
I bought this perfume 2 months ago, I can't stop wearing it!!! Super nice.
I would love for you to review the drug store dupe of the channel foundation! Merrill was so good in the bath. I am glad she wasnt mad at you after. Shes so sweet. I love my yeti mug too and dont feel the need to get a Stanley one.
More Meryl content please! She’s a beauty ❤
Meryls SOS cries from the bath woke my cat Phoebe. Don’t think she’ll let me bathe her anytime soon 😂. So cute though!!
LOL! My cat who was snoozing nearby also wandered over after hearing Meryl's bath time mewling. He was very confused and kept giving me the side-eye.
So sorry to disturb sweet Phoebe 😂😅
I love you Meryl! 🥹🤍
These are my favourite favourite vlogs - cat bath content and crazy looking mug cakes that sound delicious 😝💙
The Mirena cool got rid of pretty much all period issues for me, best thing I done after years of misery. Doesn't affect fertility once you take it back out. Lasts 5 yrs unless you remove.
Coil! Not cool 😎
Coil! Not cool 😎
Aww you bathing Meryl was too adorable
It’s -3 in the UK and I’m screaming like Meryl.
😂😂😂😂
The Meryl bath, what a gem 😂. I will save to rewatch when filling down!
-51° is when hell hath frozen over 😂. I too am amazed by how well Meryl did with the bath. She was so much less stressed by it than my dog is and my dog goes swimming! Sweet girl. 😻
I can’t believe you gave your cat a bath 😂 you are so brave 😂 thank you for sharing that with us. That made my day ❤😂❤
MERYL IS SUCH A GOOD GIRL
I totally feel you on the days of the month 😂 I wish I could just say no to having my period.
Period. 😂
For the first two days I feel so bad I can't. I can't do anything but laying in bed and sleeping (if the pain isn't to bad, otherwise I won't even be able to sleep) it's crazy how these hormonal phases can affect your life...

Would you be able to share what products you used to bathe and refresh Meryl please & thank you 💕
100% with you on feelings towards time of the month!!! 😫
Yeti’s keep the ice in ice form! Stanley not so much. Melts fast
You are my beverage twin! Ice rules! My hubby of 42 years does special things like that for me. It’s a part of the magic. ✨ (when we lived in Northern Wisconsin, the temp was -56° actual temperature)
What blush are you wearing? Your cheeks look positively wet and glowing 😍
Meryl is a good kitty. Give her extra treats. I bathed my cats as needed…aka when they weren’t doing their own baths for various reasons…or when I wanted them to smell nicer…but definitely not too often
Totally with you on the monthly friend and bevies. UNITY

Awe. Meryl. Love her. My ragdolls would have a fit. I just brush them. Loved the vid. Thank you ❤️❤️
Gettint my IUD was a miracle worker- only get periods a few times a year. A god send.
glad to be on the pills 😅 i no longer have my period! i take it because i have endometriosis and so it stops my period, i still have some pain sometimes but not like before thankfully
You definitely don’t need your give Meryl a regular, but this is a good reason to do so.

I only wash my cats either their paws or their entire body if I have to otherwise I don’t. And I double check with their vets every year just in case something changes.
That was the easiest cat bath I’ve ever seen!! Go you and Meryl!! My cats go straight up mixed martial arts on me
MMA HAHAHHAA the true visual that that gave 😂
You and Meryl did great with the bath! My cats could never 😂
Not having a period when I was pregnant and postpartum was the DREAM. And also seeing my baby covered in blood changed my perspective about it not being gross month to month. ❤️
Does yeti make your water taste like metal? Because I feel like mine gets that metallic taste if I don't drink it the same day and it's gross. However idk if it's just all in my head or if it really does happen.

I just tried your mugcake recipe and OMG IT IS FIIIIIRE!!!! THANK YOU!!!! I tried so many but often they were so dry and just not tasty but this one 😚👌 delicioso
The mug cake is so good!! Thanks for the recipe tip ❤
I've never bathed my cats either lol! I don't think it's necessary on a regular basis but I think you did the right thing by bathing her when she was stressed out and not grooming! You're such a good cat mom :)
Meryl’s little meow while you were lowering her into the tub 😂🥹💓
It’s too cute wahhh 😭😭😂
Hey Allana, what brand of protein do you use for your mug cakes or protein coffee?
Hi, do you put your workout clothes including Lululemon into the dryer? 😊
I agree 100% with how you feel about periods!
We have the same cold in Sweden. It was -15 when I drove to work
I used to have an IUD and it almost completely stopped my period for 5 years. Highly recommend.
Also feeling the January blues over here. Could be the colonoscopy. Happy New Year Allana and Dejan! Always cheers me to watch a vlog ❤
Any chance you could give the calorie and macro breakdown for your cake?
What sneakers do you use for lifting/cardio?!
I'd love a Meryl bath extended cut lol. Also, do you cook your shrimp from frozen, or do you thaw it first? It always looks so good and I want to make it.
lol when you screamed “Zamboni” licking up the choco treat 😂😂😂 I actually laughed out loud
Just a thought- they sell waterless shampoo for pets- it is a foam you put on and towel dry off the cat/dog/rabbit etc...
As an Albertan, anything colder than -30 all feels the same haha. It just hits you faster.
Keeping the water nice and warm can keep stress levels down during cat bath, I find my allergies lessen a lot after Amber gets her bath too!
Good morning 2:08am & can't sleep.
Meryl is a Badass!!! Cats usually despise being placed in water. I love a lap cat, and yes they ruin all the clothing 😩. That was hilarious that you chose the Tigers Blood flavor 😂.
To match the bludduh 😂😅
WOW MERYL WAS SUCH A GOOD BATH GIRL!!!
Meryl's bath was hilarious ;-)
Loved the vlog! I've never bathed my cat and I'm not sure I'd be alive to tell the tale if I had 😂
I’m so the same about drinks lol, hot always HOT and cold always COLD!
Loved the vlog! I started using Brumate mugs last year because I cannot stand Stanley and because they are 100% spill proof. Love them...on another topic 😅 those earrings at the end! Maybe you have already mentioned where they are from, but can you pls refresh that info? Ty! ❤
You should do a "what I love beeing married (to Dan obvs) " :-) Thank you for your videos. They're the coolest on youtube !
I had a hysterectomy when I turned 50 (medical reasons) & omg it was the best present I ever bought myself 🤦🏻♀️ It was the devil that arrived every month 👿 I love my children & are so grateful for them but I hated it 😭 Sending sisterly warm hugs that I understand 🤗
11:38: the “I feel like I am about to die” 😂- before dropping her in.
I love and appreciate you for being so real about periods. Because girl same…can’t believe we have to do this every month… I do not accept
It is so rare that I see something on your channel that I already have and I feel like this time the influencing was the other way around (even though it wasn’t lol) about the Joseph & Joseph laundry basket hahaha my partner decided we *must* have it 6 months ago so we bought it and then started seeing it everywhere, it’s great 🥹
I will say though the urge to scoop out your clothes from the individual baskets when you can just lift the sleeve out entirely is so high and I always feel dumb for doing it months after buying and using it 😂
You were so funny in this vlog 🤣🤣 69!! 🤪 gunna have to try that mug cake.
Meryl has EARNED the title of meowryl
Of course you eat your mug cake like soup 🤣 will be trying 😍
I wonder if you could do the mug cake with the Kodiak cake mix and dates or date sugar…🤔
Congrats on finally getting a laundry basket/hamper 😃 ♡
I have two cats that are both 16 years old and have never once bathed them 🤷♀️ I’m definitely going to try the mug cake recipe!
Lol I have only had to bathe my kitties when they were little (yay, ringworm!). Since they are a bonded pair though they keep each other very clean. Meryl probably could use the help sometimes. ❤
Your voice matching her meows in the bath 🤣🤣 I do the exact same thing 😂😂
I aauughree! I have the same Yeti but the 35oz and it’s perfect for work and in the car. It keeps my drinks nice and cold! I don’t get the Stanley craze lol 😂 and I love Meryl! I work at a vet clinic and I assure you it’s fine to give your cat baths; I bathe my cat once every 2-3 months. 😸🐾💖
