*WARNING* Around 2:43 there is a very loud deep voice! I had intended to replace that clip with a less startling one but I forgot to do so before uploading! So sorry! Hey guys! I am finally back, I have missed you all! Today we have another Advent Calendar that sparks the discussion of how much "free samples" can actually be valued at. Neiman Marcus seems to think that they can be worth nearly $1000! But what do you guys think? Would you be willing to pay the imaginary retail value that they put on this calendar? For me the answer is no😆 How have you all been while I was away? I hope you are well! Love ya!
We're glad you feel well enough to post. Thanks for thinking of us but I dare say you deserve whatever down time you take. I wish it was always under a happy circumstance. Being as it's not that just makes it ten times more relatable.
I just love you! I love all of your unboxings and especially advent calendar season! I also love when you do the math to try to come up with the value of each product.Neiman Marcus is NOT making it easy! I love math and my career was in banking. So right up my alley. Oh and I love the “this has no value bc it’s a free sample!” Rant as well. It NEEDS to be said! Finally, we are grateful whenever you are up to posting. I know a lot of work goes into your videos and you have alot of other things outside of UA-cam that you do. Dealing with an autoimmune disease isn’t fun and you never know when the bad days will hit. I can empathize with you there. Just know we are always here and we always will be. We understand and are patient and only want the best for YOU. Take care of yourself. Sending much love hugs and prayers your way ❤️ 🙏
In my opinion, if it's a sample or something given for free with another purchase, then it's worth nothing. It was never intended to be worth anything, and that's how it will stay. On another note, I hope that you're doing better! Good to see you again!
@@CatMom4704I think she mentioned something like this before but they probably get away with it because you technically aren’t paying for the samples, you’re paying for the calendar. I’m assuming that’s also why they have vague with the wording and the values on some calendars as well.
Absolutely. Their cost is part of the advertising budget from what I understand. They assume that the items are going to be given as free samples & thus shouldn't be resold even in an advent calendar like this. It'd be different if it were a mini size designed for something like this I can see the cost in building a calendar being a factor but some of these are ridiculously overpriced if that is the case *cough* Chanel *cough*
@@CatMom4704 If it’s just ONE sample, no, you shouldn’t sell that. But in this case, collectively, you can. It’s sort of like buying a mystery box without knowing what’s in it. You are essentially buying the name here. A Neiman Marcus box without knowing what’s 25 doors.
Alexandria, don’t stress yourself over getting advent calendar videos done. Take care of yourself, enjoy the season. I know I’ll happily watch advent calendar season straight through summer if you’ve got them!
Same I love it and now only ever hear the way Alexandria says Charlottie Tilbury, When herc ads come on over here in Scotland ,everytime it makes me laugh.she is so funny.
"i still have no idea what this serum renews?! Hopefully my faith in humanity for 91 dollars!!!" Im legit dying!🤣🤣🤣🤣 Girl that comment couldn't have been more perfect! I love your sense of humor!❤️❤️❤️
You are like the only person I haven’t found annoying or overly happy about the worst products. I’ve watched all your videos and you’re so funny and it’s so calm. Take your time making these videos if you don’t feel well! Thank you for what you do!
To be honest, I absolutely love rose scents, so you are kind of my directory to perfumes. If you hate them, chances are I will love them, so I check out most of the perfumes you don't like 😂
It’s funny that you said the La Mer smells like Nivea, because that is supposedly a very close dupe in formula! I think only if you get the Nivea that was made in Germany.
Maison is French for house. I’ve been studying French for a few weeks now *hair toss, hair toss* so I’m basically an expert now 😏. Does anyone else think the tiny candle box looks like a Chinese takeout box from far away?
22:43 the fact that you made this face for the most hyped fragrance in the fragrance world made me laugh so hard! Those influencers are raaaving over Amouage Guidance🤣🤣🤣
YAY! YAY! Ok ... As happy as I am to see a video from you, please don't make us videos at your expense. Those of us who watch regularly, know that you're living through a new diagnosis, you've two retail stores for which it is the busiest time of year, you've got high needs puppies. Not ever gonna stop watching because of some space between uploads. I hope that's the same for most of your subs. ❤❤❤
Absolutely!! We all know that life is busy, man! Not to mention, Lupus is gnarly and will take all the wind out to f your sails! Take some time for you, Alexandria! ❤
I completely agree!! We watch for you (so if advent calendars take all year that’d be fine by us lol) and we care about you and your well being. If you need a break please take it and know we’ll be here whenever you’re able to come back. ❤️
When I worked at the florist the joke was don't call mums 'mums', call them 'spray chrysanthemums' , sell them by the syllable 😂😂😂 they sound fancier so we can charge more 😂😂 I think that's what they are doing with those perfume descriptions, using so many words so it sounds like the most magical, special perfume ever created that they can't possibly describe it in 2 sentences or less 😂😂 Honestly I liked the bag of freebies more than the actual calendar, you have at least 12 days of products there 😂😂 I hope you are feeling better, you look as gorgeous as always, thanks for sharing!
I appreciate your detailed assessment of each product and the calendar as a whole. Taking the time to determine the value of each tiny item is a huge step into determining the actual value of the calendar.
There is nobody that does a better advent calendar review than you, hands down the best. I love watching anything you do of course but American advent calendars good god! The prices! Our calendars in England for me have always been amazing and I know you have covered high end ones that have come with fancy creams and such but our version of your infamous Sephora calendars are just as good, better because we get actual makeup, but we get it mixed in with high end. Maybe a review on that one day? Happy to provide it
Loving the advent calendar unboxing. With the amount of “sample not for sale” things I think some companies that specifically make versions for advent calendar’s put that on there to stop people from returning items for the value of the purchase.
OMGGGGGGGGG a sleepy Tater melted me!!!! He's quite possibly my spirit animal as far as sleepiness goes. Sweet boy! Give both babies love from Southern Indiana!! From me and my rescue, Jaden (he's a basset/JRT mix), he turns 3 in 3 days!
Don't wear yourself out with double posts! Just make sure any food ones are done before it goes bad. The rest will wait until you are ready. Christmas in July, anyone? Lots of love from the Pacific Northwest 🧡
I have never laughed as hard as I did at the porky pig reference but then... The Augustinus Bader hit and I couldn't stop 🛑😂 laughing ty I really needed that
@Alexandria Ryan j love seeing seeing the fur babies so much!!! Maybe next year do some treat calendars for them. All in one day plus the each video treat. Pups seem to love them so much!!!
I thought you learned your lesson last year?😂 I wanted the Harrod's calendar, but didn't order it in time. My hubby was so sweet, knew I was disappointed, so he decided to order me an Advent calendar from NM or Bloomingdales- thank goodness he told me about it before he did it, and I remembered your experiences with their calendars last year and told him not to do it!😂
My girl you need to stop apologizing for needing to take time for your health!! We understand that you have a lot going on and we will be here waiting when you are back either a new video. We are the diehards that watch advent calendar openings into June and are happy 😂 Take care of yourself because we love your videos. You are such a wonderful, talented, kind soul and we cherish our time with you ❤
Thank you. I need to see this posting today. I came from my best friend's funeral and I needed to laugh and smile and enjoy something silly. And thank you, your advent calendar postings are just what I needed.
Glad you're feeling better! Love your advent un-boxings - we always get the real skinny on these companies when you do it. Totally honest. Thank you so much! Love to the puppies.
Some of these calendars are just highway robbery. However, I would watch you open them any day! If you are feeling up to it, and ONLY IF you are feeling up to it, I would LOVE double upload days because I already look for your videos daily! Feel better pretty girl!🥰 I have those days too so I am right there with ya!
I really hope you start feeling better girl I know having health problems is so exhausting but you also deal with an animal that has such scary medical issues as well I just can’t imagine how you handle it all. Please don’t be sorry for taking time most of us can’t even imagine the position you are in atm.
Do you know how stupidly happy I am that it's advent calendar season on this channel I get so happy when I get a notification like stupidly happy lol 😅😂❤❤
I'm so happy to see you back again, and glad you're feeling better. I sympathise with the disaster of a fragrance that has three notes that are *all* on your least wanted list!
I don't wear perfume at all as I have an extremely sensitive nose, and I usually skip perfume reviews in videos. However, I love watching YOU review them because you are HILARIOUS 😂 ❤❤❤
I’m violently allergic to all fragrances. To the point where I can’t really be around people without a mask. But I remember what these products were like, and I LOVE living vicariously! And it feels like a chat with a fun friend!
I literally wait with bated breath for your next adventure calendar unboxing! I can't afford them so I am loving vicariously though you! Also. Doggies. Loves the doggies.
My sister sent me a homemade advent calendar & I'm loving it! Day 8 was missing - don't think that has happened to you (yet)😅😅. Day 13 was a SINGLE vitamin! Knew you'd get a kick out of that. She did tell me that she forgot to send me a Tooth Checking Mirror. I'm devastated. 😢😂❤😂
Omg this is the best . Alexandria I have been going through the roughest last couple months mental wise and been binge watching all your videos even tho I’ve seen them millions of times and your Witt and how funny you are and your light on UA-cam is everything to me. You are one of a kind and you have gotten me through this depressed part of my life and I’m forever greatfull to you . Makes me want to live my life .
I hope you’re feeling better ♥️♥️ don’t rush these to the detriment to your health. Just know we gobble these up as soon as they come out but are patient as well!
Ahh alexandria, we really appreciate the effort you put in doing these advent calendars Especially when you don't feel so good. Thank you ❤ To pay that much for samples is terrible and shameful of these big companies. Amouge perfumes are not for the faint hearted,I recieved one as a gift,it took my breath away. Sold it on ebay..Dont stress yourself out getting loads done as stress can make one worse. I think I speak for most , we're here for you and excited when you do upload. Sending healing thoughts for you 🙏
Welcome back beautiful lady! Your video came up as soon as I turned on UA-cam!! Good to see your smiling face! 😊 I hope all is well with you and your family! 🙏❤🙏
What's your area of study from college? Mine is in Nursing and Science. I'm old and retired now. I hadn't worn makeup since retiring except sheer lipstick on my lips and cheeks. Since finding your videos, I've gotten excited about skin care and full makeup again. I've had to watch some "make-up over 60+" videos because products and my skin have both changed over the years!😅❤ Thanks to you... I'm having fun getting ready for the day again!
I actually love the Amouage Guidance perfume!! I got the same mini bottle in an advent as well. I am using it sparingly since I will NEVER purchase an over 300$ perfume 😦 Maybe I only think I love it because I know how pricey it is 🤷♀️ 😆
Hahahaha! Sooooooo..... the first time you said Dr. Sebah (or however you spell it.) My hubby said "Is that an evil villain doctor?" Then you said that and he was like "seeeee.... I KNEW it!?"😅😂
Your advent calendar unboxing as have become one of my favorite parts of the holidays. I love your commentary and investigative process that goes into each product. You’re the best!
I never had an advent calendar before this year. You sold me to this idea. I brought the Yves Rocher one. Thank you for all your videos, I like what you do.
I vote you do one video a day and just keep posting. I LOVE these videos and don't mind if they extend past Christmas. You could do advent calendars all year long if you wanted. ❤❤
I don’t buy beauty stuff because I’m a very simple woman. And I’d never buy an advent calendar for myself. But for some reason this Xmas season I’m just addicted to your unboxing videos. Been binging them for days. You are an enjoyable presenter!
First: I’d love it if you totaled each calendar with and without the sample values. Half that calendar was free samples; that should’ve considerably dropped the value down. Second: You should get a scent blocking lidded trashcan of sorts, a room deodorizer machine, and some fragrance test spray cards. Then you can swatch the scents and dispose of them quickly without going scent-blind. Also, have a sealed mason jar full of coffee beans on your desk to clear your nose. I love your videos. Keep it up!
I just love the bonus advent calendar with your pooches. The way Ren does his shaky dance because he's so excited for a new treat, it just makes my day and leaves me smiling.
Use the makeup wipes in a pinch to wash off the scents next time! Also.. who uses that much serum to buy it in bulk? Like doesn’t not expire before you use it? Are you bathing in it? Full body rub down? Lastly: this look on you today is GLOWING 🥰🥰
My goodness that is egregious! Those samples of supposed luxury beauty are ridiculous! I love watching your videos so thank you for posting. I hope you are feeling much better!
*WARNING* Around 2:43 there is a very loud deep voice! I had intended to replace that clip with a less startling one but I forgot to do so before uploading! So sorry!

We have missed you too ❤🇪🇸 ambergris 😂
Have you had your thyroid checked for your tender hair follicles? I had a thyroid problem and I was losing hair at an alarming rate.
We're glad you feel well enough to post. Thanks for thinking of us but I dare say you deserve whatever down time you take. I wish it was always under a happy circumstance. Being as it's not that just makes it ten times more relatable.

Hi Alex, What does the beef tallow smell like. :-)

Is it legal to sell something that states “not for resale”?
@@CatMom4704I think she mentioned something like this before but they probably get away with it because you technically aren’t paying for the samples, you’re paying for the calendar. I’m assuming that’s also why they have vague with the wording and the values on some calendars as well.

Can I try making an Excel sheet for all the advent calendars you do this year? I know it’s weird but I love making Excel sheets
Nothing weird about liking Excel spreadsheets. Though I love them too so maybe I'm not an impartial judge on it. 😂
@@AntisocialAuntie agreed!
I would LOVE to watch a video of that, I always have the same thought every year!
Do it!
I thought maybe a sharable google spread sheet? That way everyone who wants to contribute can?
Alexandria, don’t stress yourself over getting advent calendar videos done. Take care of yourself, enjoy the season. I know I’ll happily watch advent calendar season straight through summer if you’ve got them!
Yes me too. ❤
i love watching these in the summer love that they last so long
I'm down for that, too.
Same.
Same
I love the annual Alexandria "deluxe samples don't really have a value" rant ❤😂
Me too! I still don't know how companies get away with that!
It doesn’t feel like Christmas without it. It is one of my favourite traditions.
I’m always here for it. I swear, if she toured with it, I’d buy tickets!
It's a tradition🎉
Yesssss... 😂
More dramatic readings of pretentious product descriptions please lmfao that was hysterical. I love your editing
Same I love it and now only ever hear the way Alexandria says Charlottie Tilbury,
When herc ads come on over here in Scotland ,everytime it makes me laugh.she is so funny.
That was hilarious! 😂
"i still have no idea what this serum renews?! Hopefully my faith in humanity for 91 dollars!!!" Im legit dying!🤣🤣🤣🤣 Girl that comment couldn't have been more perfect! I love your sense of humor!❤️❤️❤️
That sent me into belly laughter!!! 🤣🤣🤣
In my opinion, I love that you are using that super sparkle pink eyeshadow. It looks so good on you!
Yes it looks really good
Every time I see it I do a little cheer 🎉
Remember when cosmetic companies used to give away nice free samples because the markup on makeup is incredibly insane? Pepperage farm remembers.
I remember!
"The little skinny blond one" to describe Niles from Frasier 😭
💀💀
"If someone smelled like this, I wouldn't be... concerned." I laughed so hard. I love the way you phrase things.
I live for "small not for sale THIS HAS NO VALUE " rant!!! You do not disappoint!! Thanks Alexandra for making my evening!! ❤❤❤❤
U shouldn't add them to the total value as they're free
You are like the only person I haven’t found annoying or overly happy about the worst products. I’ve watched all your videos and you’re so funny and it’s so calm. Take your time making these videos if you don’t feel well! Thank you for what you do!
To be honest, I absolutely love rose scents, so you are kind of my directory to perfumes. If you hate them, chances are I will love them, so I check out most of the perfumes you don't like 😂
I just gotta say, I love your makeup today! The eye look is so pretty!!
Thank you so much!
I am thinking the same thing! I cannot stop admiring the beautiful sparky eyeshadow it’s not glittery but more like wet shimmer. I love it!
It’s funny that you said the La Mer smells like Nivea, because that is supposedly a very close dupe in formula! I think only if you get the Nivea that was made in Germany.
Yes! The European Nivea is legit like exactly La Mer 😆
Wow. How many European Niveas can you buy for the price of 1 LaMer?
Maison is French for house. I’ve been studying French for a few weeks now *hair toss, hair toss* so I’m basically an expert now 😏. Does anyone else think the tiny candle box looks like a Chinese takeout box from far away?
Ohhhh! So the building does make sense! Haha that is very fancy of you! 😊
Good for you! Keep going…ca va? Cava bien! Vous êtes sur votre chemin! 🥳🥳🤩
I'm so glad someone else said Chinese takeout, because that was my first thought!!
_Exactly what I thought!_ 😂
22:43 the fact that you made this face for the most hyped fragrance in the fragrance world made me laugh so hard! Those influencers are raaaving over Amouage Guidance🤣🤣🤣
YAY! YAY!
Ok ... As happy as I am to see a video from you, please don't make us videos at your expense. Those of us who watch regularly, know that you're living through a new diagnosis, you've two retail stores for which it is the busiest time of year, you've got high needs puppies.
Not ever gonna stop watching because of some space between uploads. I hope that's the same for most of your subs.
❤❤❤
By "most" I mean ALL
Yes, wanted to say exactly this! Who cares if we are behind schedule as long as you are taking care of yourself!
Yup, what they ☝🏻said.
Absolutely!! We all know that life is busy, man! Not to mention, Lupus is gnarly and will take all the wind out to f your sails! Take some time for you, Alexandria! ❤
I completely agree!! We watch for you (so if advent calendars take all year that’d be fine by us lol) and we care about you and your well being. If you need a break please take it and know we’ll be here whenever you’re able to come back. ❤️
I am here for as many posts a day as you want to post. I will watch them all all the way through the end and give them all likes
When I worked at the florist the joke was don't call mums 'mums', call them 'spray chrysanthemums' , sell them by the syllable 😂😂😂 they sound fancier so we can charge more 😂😂 I think that's what they are doing with those perfume descriptions, using so many words so it sounds like the most magical, special perfume ever created that they can't possibly describe it in 2 sentences or less 😂😂 Honestly I liked the bag of freebies more than the actual calendar, you have at least 12 days of products there 😂😂 I hope you are feeling better, you look as gorgeous as always, thanks for sharing!
"Sell them by the syllable", truer words have never been uttered.
Thank you for making me smile, almost as much as the video.
My dad used to own a flower shop and you are 100% correct. My dad used to do this all the time.
OMG the pupper with his front legs over the edge of the bed 24:00 🥰
I appreciate your detailed assessment of each product and the calendar as a whole. Taking the time to determine the value of each tiny item is a huge step into determining the actual value of the calendar.
14:09 The "...'soup for my family' vibe'' got me! 😂
There is nobody that does a better advent calendar review than you, hands down the best.
I love watching anything you do of course but American advent calendars good god! The prices!
Our calendars in England for me have always been amazing and I know you have covered high end ones that have come with fancy creams and such but our version of your infamous Sephora calendars are just as good, better because we get actual makeup, but we get it mixed in with high end.
Maybe a review on that one day? Happy to provide it
Loving the advent calendar unboxing. With the amount of “sample not for sale” things I think some companies that specifically make versions for advent calendar’s put that on there to stop people from returning items for the value of the purchase.
It could be.
Yeah, a lot of these are much larger than ‘free samples’ used to be. A lot of these have pretty bottles.
That's exactly what it means.
OMGGGGGGGGG a sleepy Tater melted me!!!! He's quite possibly my spirit animal as far as sleepiness goes. Sweet boy! Give both babies love from Southern Indiana!! From me and my rescue, Jaden (he's a basset/JRT mix), he turns 3 in 3 days!

I just finished my undergrad degree. Let's celebrate with a bad advent unboxing 😂
That’s awesome! Great job!!
Congratulations!
Congratulations!! Merry Christmas!
Congratulations.
Congratulations 🎉
Apparently the P Louise Express advent calendar is incredible. I’d love to see you open a good one after so many duds!
Can confirm it's pretty great. I can't wait for her reaction to it.
I'm DEFINITELY getting it next year! Imho, it's the only great one out there 😊
I have him and looooooooove him ❤❤❤❤
So happy you're feeling good enough to film. Take care of yourself ❤ love the fur babies bonus calendar! They melt my heart❤
She's such a radiant beauty!
Perfect timing… can watch/listen while I finish my shift. Hope you are doing better!

I actually love the Amouage Guidance perfume!! I got the same mini bottle in an advent as well. I am using it sparingly since I will NEVER purchase an over 300$ perfume 😦 Maybe I only think I love it because I know how pricey it is 🤷♀️ 😆
I have been sick too. Unfortunately I have covid. Seeing a video posted made my day. Hope you're feeling better and hope tater stopped itching ❤
We love the breakdowns! If it’s too much work, we understand not doing it. BUT if you like doing it…. We like seeing it!
Hahahaha! Sooooooo..... the first time you said Dr. Sebah (or however you spell it.) My hubby said "Is that an evil villain doctor?" Then you said that and he was like "seeeee.... I KNEW it!?"😅😂
Yay!! So nice to see you Alexandria 😊❤
Your advent calendar unboxing as have become one of my favorite parts of the holidays. I love your commentary and investigative process that goes into each product. You’re the best!
Puppers always bringing the joy of Christmas ❤🎉❤
Yay! Glad you're feeling better!! ❤❤
I LOVE Your HONESTY. You are so down to earth and relatable. You say what we are all thinking. Thank you!
When we hear silver bells we know things about to get real.
Isnt it Carol of the Bells?
@BatyBug ha yes
That is what i meant
I never had an advent calendar before this year. You sold me to this idea. I brought the Yves Rocher one. Thank you for all your videos, I like what you do.
I loved mine last year
My day gets better when I see you’ve posted! As a fellow spoonie, I’m glad you’re feeling better though make sure you come first
I loveee your advent calendar series I watch this every year ❤️❤️❤️
Yessss my favorite creator is on! And the puppers! I love them! ❤
I vote you do one video a day and just keep posting. I LOVE these videos and don't mind if they extend past Christmas. You could do advent calendars all year long if you wanted. ❤❤
I don’t buy beauty stuff because I’m a very simple woman. And I’d never buy an advent calendar for myself. But for some reason this Xmas season I’m just addicted to your unboxing videos. Been binging them for days. You are an enjoyable presenter!
First:
I’d love it if you totaled each calendar with and without the sample values. Half that calendar was free samples; that should’ve considerably dropped the value down.
Second:
You should get a scent blocking lidded trashcan of sorts, a room deodorizer machine, and some fragrance test spray cards. Then you can swatch the scents and dispose of them quickly without going scent-blind. Also, have a sealed mason jar full of coffee beans on your desk to clear your nose.
I love your videos. Keep it up!
I'm just chucklin' through this!!! 😂👏👌
Me too!!!!! 😂😂😂😂
You make me smile and laugh out loud every time I watch you, your perfume description 😂😂😂😂
Ooh, yay! Let the rant begin!!😅
Alexandria i think that color of sweater is such a good color on u. You look extra pretty in this video for some reason
Yay, you're back!💖 Hooray for long videos!🎉 Got to see Tater & Wren 🐕🐶. BTW, I call it "Ski Two", too (not that I buy it!)
I get really happy when I see your videos.
Merry Christmas to you and your family ❤ i love the advent calendar nom noms for the pups!
You look wonderful in this video! Love the hair and makeup!
Thank you for always being so thorough and honest in your reviews!
I just love the bonus advent calendar with your pooches. The way Ren does his shaky dance because he's so excited for a new treat, it just makes my day and leaves me smiling.
I like it when you do the actual prices of the advent calendars 🤩👌🏾 gotta make sure I'm not being swindled 🤑🤑
So glad you’re back!!!
Love Wren's little tappy toes while waiting for his advent treat.
Wren and Tater are are just too precious!!❤❤
We do love the bonus calendars there.... The Boys are such fun!
Use the makeup wipes in a pinch to wash off the scents next time! Also.. who uses that much serum to buy it in bulk? Like doesn’t not expire before you use it? Are you bathing in it? Full body rub down? Lastly: this look on you today is GLOWING 🥰🥰
My goodness that is egregious! Those samples of supposed luxury beauty are ridiculous! I love watching your videos so thank you for posting. I hope you are feeling much better!
OMG QUEEN HAS POSTEDDDDDD
Edit: NO WAY SHE EVEN HEARTED AND REPLIDED I LOVEEE YOU SM GIRL
