Hi there, I'm Alexandra Rodriguez, formerly known as LearningToBeFearless! Follow me on UA-cam for plus size try on hauls, plus size hauls, vlogs, weekly vlog and daily vlog content, try on hauls, beauty, travel and more!
I love the shape of your office, it’s unique. In my opinion having to much. If nic nacs fill up the space it feels soo busy. It be great to get some inspo on similar looking offices so that a better display of furniture and decore could be placed with out feeling soo overwhelming like it looks at the moment.
I’m sure the irony of the $40 “minimalist” book set is not lost on anyone…
Lol perfect if u wanna throw away 40 bucks
I took a candle making class & the deep scent you want is not from adding more scented oil it's from how long the candle is set. Candles that are set and covered a month or longer have the stronger scent you're looking for because it's more concentrated.
This is just my 2 cents.. The shoe cabinet & the desk by with window looks the best they give warmth to the room. The shelves are beautiful but they are to tall for that space and its throwing it off . The round desk & the outdoor chair I would find a different room for them, and get some accent chairs so you can make a seating area with colorful throw pillows. The room needs color. Its a hard room to decorate because of the ceiling. Also maybe a nice window treatment.. Good luck!
I feel like the big wood storage cabinet is nice, but up top looks like a cluster. Too much going on in my opinion, but I’m no expert decorator.
Why don’t you just buy some real books from the thrift store?
..also ...an idea that I use; I keep my brushes in two containers...one has the brushes clean and ready to go, quick and easy to grab if/when I need that special brush. The second container holds the brushes in use, and will want to grab again, and at the end of the week just grab those brushes to wash; i have found that when I put them all together, the in use and clean brushes it feels overwhelming thinking I have to wash them all...🙂 just thoughts....
I was considering Clio but it is only for light skin tones. I only buy inclusive brands.
That's lovely to see you do that ! From a mixed race lady who finds it difficult to find make up and foundation for darker skin tones especially here in the UK where I live I truly appreciate what you've written. Thank you Laura ❤
understand your point but clio is korean brand it is very homogeneous country with only like 3 shades range for majority of brands here
@@rose191991but her audience is very diverse so this selection of paid sponsorship already makes some of her audience unable to purchase due to the lack of shade range
You should not put the perfume in the sunlight
You need to weigh your wax before melting it and always follow the directions in the bag of wax because every wax is different. Also the fragrance load should be about 10% of the candle. For example if you have a candle vessel that can hold 10oz of wax 10% of that would be 0.10 oz which would be your fragrance load for the candle. So once the wax is melted at the recommended temperature mix the fragrance for about 2 minutes and then pour at the recommended temperature. This should also help to avoid bubbles but also soy wax can be stubborn. Hope this helps. If you want to continue doing candles I suggest you get a scale to weigh out the wax and fragrance to get the best result.
I’m commenting mid video, but it’s busy! It looks like a store
This girl has no business using a minimalist book as a coffee table book.
Omg the anxiety I would have thinking about having to dust all of those decor items 😂
She'll get new decor by the time they have a chance to get dust.
I think you can spread out your wedding photos...3 in one isolated room is excessive
Get ya coin obvs… but girl that foundation looks CAKEY ….slip and slide 😂
You should wash your makeup brushes more often 😊
Lol shut up
Yeah they look VERY DIRTY
Can you link your vanity mirror? Love it
The clio foundation has horribly unheigenic packaging.
Clio doesn’t have shades for people of color.
Alex I love how you've styled the office ❤
Make sure if you try candles again, when you add the scent it has to be under a certain temperature or your scent burns off! That’s why your candles ended up with no smell
What degree?
I think I use to probably be a person that wanted it all the decor and clutter but now I'm just like gives me less! But that can be from becoming a mom and overwhelmed with my kids stuff haha
I don't get why you don't use the stove? Why are you using that little heat warmer? Is there a reason? I'm just curious
Hi Alex, why not paint or re-stain the cabinet? If it is the perfect size it may be worth it.
What about putting the bookshelf in your office down in the study?
Love the video! Have you thought about replacing the knobs to give the cabinet a new look? 💕
A fun idea would be to use the shelves you have in your office to go in the study! Just a thought so you can use what you already have. 😊 Sometimes re-arranging what you’ve already invested in feels like you just went shopping!
Adding more fragrance can be dangerous friend 😅 the math is there for a reason ❤ it's a science candle making and it's a flammable substance you're using so be careful 😅 prob not a place to use girl math 😂 (from a friend and fellow girl mather)
“Weren’t we gonna do this in the basement?” 🤣🤣
It’s too much stuff
Soooo overcrowded. Not a peaceful space at all. But its the same in every room
I wasn't sure where to post this. I know you struggle with acne. I also did in my youth. I am now 68 years old, and YES I still get the occasional zit. I know your channel is to show makeup and it is part of your job. In order to clear up my skin, I had to dry it out. We didn't have products like Proactive, etc. when I was a teenager. I used good old Clearasil soap and pads. The idea was to dry up the oil on the face. I cannot use moisturizers anywhere except on my eyes and neck. Yes, my skin got dry and flaky, but within a couple of weeks, the acne began to clear up. Once it clears up, less drying can be used. I've done this my entire life.
The heavy makeup you use to cover your dark spots and the moisturizers are actually contributing to the acne. I still have to use oil free foundation and powders only. Occasionally in the evening I can use more makeup, but it ALWAYS has to be oil free. I know it is part of your job to keep us all informed on the various products. You can continue to do that, but at the end of your filming, the makeup needs to be washed off with an acne drying soap. Let the skin dry out and heal.
I also applied (still do occasionally) a drying lotion while I sleep. There are many out there. Mario Bedescu has a pink liquid that you dot on the acne spots. Even Clearasil acne cream would do. You have a super husband who would not mind you applying these products while you sleep. My husband was a sweety. He suffered from acnes as a kid. He understood the battle.
Thank you for all the work you put in to making the videos. It keeps me young in my heart. Best of everything to you and Yar!
the comments don’t pass the vibe check lol idk why people feel the need to leave unnecessary rude comments but keep doing you and don’t let their negativity get to you. i love your videos alex! ❤🙂
Is it me or is the camera fuzzing up? You can see it in the kitchen scenes.
I’m not really noticing anything but it might be the low lighting! Not sure what else it would be 🤷🏼♀️
@@AlexandraIreneRodriguez or a ghost lol jk. Anywho love the hair
Oh yeah it's like a blurring but didn't last long
Hi Alex. I so enjoy your content. Thanks for being here! Not sure if you know, but your perfume should not be in sunlight. It makes them go bad quicker.
I love you Alex but u have too much going on in ur office. Too much furniture and too many little statues and things etc. It's just too much going on.
Alex, love your videos! i'd love to see you explore card making/scrapbooking as a hobby too. simon says stamp is a great start!
Check out Clio and no colors for dark skin.😮
Where is your sweater from? I love it!!!
Hi Alex, with full coverage your skin does not look like real skin but applying a light layer looks good.
I started buying lime chips years ago because you recommended them!! 😊
You should keep your perfume out of the sun 🌞
I usually have the blinds closed 😊 thank you!
Love your channel ❤@@AlexandraIreneRodriguez
The avocado guac dish deserved a thumbs up. Too adorable
Alex put the lighted vase you have on your vanity on the cupboard behind you , it’s very beautiful and where you have it now we don’t see it ❤
Only a suggestion for your candle making venture, make sure the thermometer isn’t sitting against the bottom or sides because the metal of the kettle will read hotter than the wax
When you said “what an icon you are” to Yarmayn I remembered that the other day I was watching one of your vlogs & my husband walked into the room, looked at my phone and said “oh, is that Yarmayn’s wife?” So… icon indeed. 👏🏽😂
Get a candle warmer! You can use it on the candles that don’t have enough wicks
I can NOT belive the amount of trolls on here! How sad. Alex, you are doin a good job. You make a bright spot in my day ~ ❤
Love your sweater ❤
yesssssss not me looking for you this morning at like 8 am 😂
Sorry this was late!!❤
Legit same lol I almost got sad then seen an upload in the middle of a meeting and squealed 😅
Serenity By Jan vibes😂❤️
omg love clio great korean brand
Idk if you are a reader but putting books on the shelf next to your vanity can add a little something something lol
Does anyone know where the sweatshirt is from?! 🤣
The coffee one? Sweetees! Love their stuff lol
@@kristenmaria6643Thank you!!!
Hi Alex, I’ve had so much luck at thrift stores like Goodwill. Try going with someone who thrifts, you can find repurposed items especially coffe table books also thrifting can open up more diy’s lol I’d LOVE to see you thrift
You don’t need to decorate everything!! Good lord!
Girl people are congratulating you on here! Is it time!! ? 🎉
@angel177B how does everyone know?!!
Maybe we should just wait? It’s exciting no doubt but if it’s not accurate and people are just starting things it could be very hard to read/hear
@@joycochran1823she announces her period every month lol. She had it last on her bday (dec 24) & didn't say anything in January 😊
.. your right, the cabinet is perfect...change the knobs...only 4...go gold!!
Love the hair! Can you show how you do it in next vlog please !?
I think you could also remelt the first candles you did and add more scent! If you don’t want to waste the wax 🥰
When yar came into the kitchen when you were doing the candle I laughed so hard 😂 his face was priceless 😭😂
You always have the cutest sweatshirts 😩
After you pour your candle you can use a chop stick or skewer to mix/ dip in and out of the candle to get the air bubbles out.
Hi there. I just ran across this UA-camr who is a candle maker. She has some videos that will help you and your candle adventure I think. Like she stated that the scent oil should be stirred for 2 minutes. She said it makes a big difference to do that. A bunch of other things too. Eclipse Botanica. Hope she may help you out.
Yay, was waching your old vlogmas waiting for this! 😂❤
I know what the office needs!! :) A RUG!!!!! A little pop of texture and color to center the floor. :) I love the decor!
Are people not listening to why there’s a lot more things in her office lol she clearly states she’s trying to have different backgrounds for content 🫶🏼💖 I love it girlie & clearly understand what you’re aiming for ✨
Love the office!! Where did you get the oils I love champagne toast? ❤
Lone star candle supply!
Yay, so glad you posted!!! Always look foreword to your videos, thank you 💖😁
I love how the office looks! Only thing Id change is putting the books and diffuser on the desk and the perfume tray where you currently have the books. Nicely done!
Thrift stores are the best place to look for cheap coffee table books!
Great idea!!❤
Um, vlog without your baby boy???? BRUNO!!!!
Hi hun get a metal funnel x
Thank you!!!
Yes, now I feel like Tuesday has started!
I always love how your makeup looks! Ive been trying to recreate it on myself but it hasnt worked yet, but I'll keep trying!
Maybe try pulling the round table in the corner of your office out about a foot.
The office looks fab! I love to change things around too! Have a great day!♥
Perfect timing I’m on lunch break from my students!
Aw perfect!❤
I think what would be really pretty, was to wallpaper some of the walls. Specially the slanted walls maybe something feminine or Ralph Lauren you wouldn’t even need any other decor or pictures let the wallpaper be the showstopper.
Okay now it’s officially Tuesday! So glad to see your face Alex!! ❤❤❤
Are you having a SuperBowl party? Hope you show it!
I couldn’t find your makeup mirror
Here’s the link! www.amazon.com/dp/B09VP25MHF/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_F9ZSW0MGQ67HKAV712A9?linkCode=ml2&tag=learniglibpw-20
Your office looks great! ❤❤❤
Perfect! Gives me smiles while working out!
Loving the stuff you bought for your office! I am also addicted to Amazon haha❤️
Your perfume could go on the table or the shelves so when you film get ready with me vids it’ll be behind you and you can spray and go once ur ready. ❤
Hi Alex I just wanted to give you an idea so the shelf that you have in your office real pretty one that's got the actual that's tall behind the marrow I'm thinking why don't you try buying like a plant that have to be real but something a little long that goes across right on the top shelf I just think that that would really make it pop out just an ideal
Yes you are a candle maker
What are these comments? If you don't like just don't watch guys❤
💖💖💖
I love the vibes of your decor in the office! I think a big ol area rug will tie it all together
I'm obsessed with the "iced coffee" sweatshirt!
It's iconic
Love your office. The look is clean and simple. I love it. Nice Job
I think ur office looks great!!! Love the new cluster ❤ So pretty!!!
Just a small tip...When checking the temperature dont let the thermometer touch the bottom of the metal container. That is where it is hottest so you may not get an accurate read. Keep up with the DIY stuf!!! Love Crafty Alex videos ❤❤❤❤
Your makeup looks great ❤
Omg I cannot believe I left all of that on top and I didn't read it back sorry sorry anybody reads that
keep up work on your channels im inpress
❤ YAR popping his head in! I miss seeing y’all together in vlogs. Maybe the next travel Vlog you guys can film
Some together instead of working separately all day right. ❤❤❤ u guys y’all are so cute and sweet! 😊
♥️♥️ Love ♥️♥️
I love your office.
You have a good eye on making things look fabulous ❤ Absolutely love your style.Keep Shining 😎
Julia Adam’s swears by the Clio mascara! I’ve been wanting to try it for a while. Thanks Alex!
