WHOOPS! There are a couple editing mistakes, im sorry guys I was editing this very early in the morning and I missed some stuff 😩
Hey guys! Thank you guys so much for your patience with this video! Also thank you for all of your kind word and well wishes for Tater! He is doing great now! What do you guys think of this advent calendar? I think its pretty good! I would have loved a more even ratio of makeup to skincare but if you like trying out skincare you might really love this! Let me know what you think! Love ya💖
This looks like something for me because I actually do like getting skincare but I do like the P.Louise one for makeup
Hire me to edit your videos🥹
I have always loved the Look Fantastic calendar 🎉❤
I think we can forgive you 😊. It's refreshing to watch real, human, reviews 😂😂 Don't you ever apologize!
OMG, I just thought of something... YOU should make YOUR OWN advent calendar next year or sometime in the future! That would be so cool! I bet plenty of brands would love to work with you and the calendar would be the bomb because you know exactly what not to put in it 😊
If anyone likes this idea maybe let her know lol
So glad Tater is doing much better!
In liturgical churches (Roman Catholic, Lutheran, Episcopal, etc), purple is actually the color for advent! Advent is the season before Christmas so we don't actually celebrate Christmas until the 25th and we celebrate it for a few weeks after.
Ohhhh, now I understand why my very devout colleague sometimes looks clueless when I mention church seasons, I was raised so liturgical, it's hard for me to wrap my head around the non-lit denominations.
I'm not a Christian anymore, but I still love Jesus & really miss old liberal protestant advent. The calendars are so opposite of it, lol to me it's just two completely different things. We used to light the candles on Sunday at supper, so we could eat by candlelight in a dark, quiet house. And we never ever celebrated early. Now we celebrate on the 23rd or 26th to accommodate blended family schedules lol... I'd like to go to Advent services but I don't know how to know who's having communion & it's so embarrassing to not go up, but it feels disrespectful to fib about my beliefs...
@@montananerd8244 Episcopal always has communion if the service is called Eucharist (Greek for communion)
I'm an atheist but I'm culturally Lutheran (Church of Sweden). There's a distinct difference in Advent and Christmas even in secular tradition. For example, we have Advent decorations that go up for First Advent Sunday, and Christmas decorations that go up a few days before Christmas. Putting up a Christmas tree in early December is absolutely forbidden.
Christmas lasts for 20 days, counting from Christmas Eve, and traditionally you keep your tree and decorations up for the entire period. On the 20th day of Christmas (January 13) you have a last hurrah of dancing around the tree and "raiding the tree" (traditionally, a lot of the tree decorations were candy, e.g. candy canes and baskets of candy) before taking it all down.
This is why you are one of my favorite people on UA-cam. Not only is your personality amazing and fun. But when tater is sick you drop everything even filming to cuddle him and let him know his mommy loves and is with him! ❤ I suffer from severe seizures. I know how hard they are on not only the person (Or tater) having it but their loved ones too ❤
The "witches brew" your mom used to do is actually called a simmer pot if you ever wanted to look into them! They do smell absolutely amazing!
Hugs to you and Tater, I could tell he was looking a little concerned/uncomfortable before the video switched over. Sending healthy thoughts and vibes for your little man
Loving this calendar season! Also, lip "plumpers" don't have to be the tingley kind. They can have hyaluronic acid in them, which is also ok for skin.
Robert Welsh shared a video about lip plumpers, you should watch it.
I’m so glad Tater is doing better, and please do not stress about videos coming out late, your family comes first.
I completely understand what you mean when you were talking about taters post ictal phase, it’s a really awful time as pet owners. Look after yourself and tater and I’m sending all my good vibes your way!
So, I noticed the Elemis bottle. Laying down. Without a lid. Confess, where did you spill it? Lol! So so SO glad Tater feels better. He's such a little sweetie pie. Both of your pups are precious!
Do you think it was when she was fumbling with those little shampoo and conditioner bottles on Day 11? 😂
Lol!
@@thefumblingcuisiniere
No apologies necessary! We’re just glad Tater’s back to his sweet and silly self! I didn’t expect this video for another couple of days honestly so it was posted sooner than I thought it would be! You and your boys (both human and doggos) always come first! We’re not going anywhere and it honestly softens the post-holiday letdown when there are still Advent Calendars to watch you unbox! Sending lots of love and healthy vibes to you all! 💜
I just stumbled upon a fancy chocolate advent calendar from Vosges Haut-Chocolat (see, it even *sounds* fancy!) that might be fun for next year! It's *stupid* expensive, about $300, but the packaging is absolutely stunning AND meant to be reused year after year. They even sell a refill box for the low low price of $160!😅 I think it's all sold out this year, but it's a thought for next year🤗
…$309… for chocolate? That has to be illegal
I can attest that, while expensive, their chocolate is very good. But I've only had a bar or two from them. I don't have $300 to drop on chocolate lol
@@BlackPhoenixNightI'm jealous you've had any!! I'm still trying to talk myself into the ruby chocolate from that french company that begins with C. Vosges... is a legggggggggendary chocolate brand, one of the 🐐 s
@@montananerd8244 I've been lucky to go to a boutique chocolate shop in New Jersey a few times that sells all sorts of fancy chocolates from all over. I wish I had such a place closer to me so I could have it more often 😋
My aunt and uncle have gotten that one a couple of times. The chocolate is really good and has interesting flavor additions. That said I’m not sure it’s worth that 300. The 160, maybe.
I know a lot of products say they are dermatologist approved, but my actual dermatologist recommends that regular dial soap to help with my psoriasis, HS and cutaneous Crohns. So you can easily say that cheap dollar soap is better than some of the things you received *cough*rhinestone stickers*cough*
Is that the gold or white one?
@@quackquack185 The gold one
My dad has sworn by regular Dial soap my entire life
I did not know this .. I have hs and psoriasis so thank you
I've always wondered where these doctors who recommend stuff come from. Because whenever I talk to my actual doctors about it they recommend stuff that has existed forever. I've never had a doctor recommend the newest technology. Literally ever.
The end shot showing all the products compared to macys is crazy! This is a great value.
So glad Tater is ok! Never apologize for taking loving care of your adorable pup! Thanks for this review!!
I came to say the same thing.
First of all, I’m so sorry Tater buddy had a seizure during filming this. Hoping he’s ok ❤
This was one of the most well thought out advent calendars I’ve ever seen. And even though you have that eye shadow pallet a million times over, it’s exactly like you said, it’s so usable, a great final day, and great for people who don’t get a ton of calendars and boxes all the time. Suchhhh a good follow up for the Macy’s disaster.
That eye cream has amazing ingredients and actually will work. Like I mentioned in my comment about the multi sizes of hyaluronic acid molecules, the smaller the molecules the deeper and more effective the effect. It will work better plumping & sending water that way, the stimulating process also makes the body create more collagen too. Wow that’s a good one
Alexandria, I really like that you show all the products in the end of the video. Please continue doing this with your unboxing videos. Thank you and greetings from a Norwegian subscriber.
Never worry about "mistakes", you are such a nice loving person and the fact you care about your dogs only speaks for you! We started caring about your dogs too, so please don't stop giving us updates on them. Hope the seizures don't come back!
Magnesium does nice things for your muscles. That's why people soak in epsom salt baths, which is magnesium salt and very cheap.
no for real!!!! you've found it!!!!! that lip color was beautiful and absolutely perfect for your face and lips!!! You've been looking for a while to find this shade!!! it looks great on you. but most things look great on you even when you don't think so. ❤
I love your pups so much, glad Tater is doing better. Tis my favorite time of the year, you doing the advents 😍
Do not apologize for loving your pet! Us internet strangers appreciate you and care about Tater too! Give him all the snuggles!
14:02 NO apology is necessary, please don't apologize, your dogs, family, and yourself comes before filming and posting videos. I am very glad Tater is doing better and that you were able to spend time comforting him, that always comes FIRST.
I'm so glad Tater's doing better. Take all the time you need. Honestly, if you had enough Advent calendars to last an entire year and you did nothing else, I'd still be here for every one of them! You truly make the holiday season more fun and joyful. It's something I look forward to every year, like the Charlie Brown Christmas special or listening to Bing Crosby's White Christmas.
Never apologize for taking care of your baby, I'm glad he's feeling better
Oh Alexandria there is no need to apologize. You take as much time as you need for Tater, yourself or anyone else. We will all be here when you are ready to come back. And it’s not like we haven’t done advent calendars in the new year lol! I’m so happy Tater is ok. Sending you many blessings ♥️
Don’t ever feel like you need to apologize. Anyone with a heart will feel for you and totally understand. ❤
I think I've fallen down the advent calendars season cause I've watched too many videos from you of advent calendars. But I'm loving it
It is Boom-Boom!! It’s a cutesy word for “booty” in Brazilian Portuguese!
You commented on the colours not being very christmassy or wintery. Purple is the colour of advent though, so I think it absolutely suits an advent calendar 💜
Brazilian here! You are correct in saying Bumbum as BoomBoom. And it means butt, by the way.
Hey there, I'm only here to say that it IS called "boomboom" cause that's how we say the word "bumbum" in portuguese. You were correct all along ^^ great video, love watching you, keep up the good work!
I love the Espa body scrub, which I got in some subscription box. Would love to try the shower gel if I can get it for less.
Origins! That is the best toner ever.
"Public restroom hand soap consistency" LOL.
So glad Tater is better!! You're such a good mom!
5:21 a lot of “lip plumpers” these days actually just have hydrating/moisturizing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and shea butter which give your lip a temporary and very mild plumping effect. Think about how dry plants shrivel up and become small. Well-hydrated plants look lush and full. A glossy lip also reflects light better which adds to the illusion of lip plumping
I’m glad Tater is ok and resting. And I appreciate that you are so responsive to his needs. It speaks so much to your character. And I agree that the P. Louise calendar is an undisputed winner.
FAB lotion is sooooooo good. It actually feels like it absorbs into your skin. I don’t have that particular type but I have the ultra repair cream in the tub for your hands and I love it. It’s the only semi-expensive thing I’ll always buy.
I don't wear black eyeliner often. But every year Clinique gives me a free black eyeliner when I buy skin care, sometimes a mascara as well. That eyeliner lasts me the whole year. So the black eyeliner can be a useful gift, if you aren't buying 25 advent calendars every year.
So glad Tater is ok! Poor sweet puppy! Give him kisses for me.
Another glorious day of advent calendar season with Alexandria 🎉🎄💄
I use that toning lotion from Origins and I love it! I was told you can apply it with a Cotton round but honestly it just waste the product. I use this as the first step in my skin care routine by dripping a few drops directly from the bottle onto my face and quickly rubbing it around. The product is very liquidy, and should be shaken each time before use. From what I was told, it’s both a toner and a very light weight lotion that balances your skins pH.
So glad tater is feeling better! I heard somewhere all avant 'promotional' products are in completely different packaging. I think if you buy it from them, and don't get it in a subscription or something like that, it comes in fancy packaging 😅 I've only ever had their stuff in squeezie tubes 😂
I look forward to your advent calendar videos every year. Literally the best ☺️
Right?? Her personality makes it so awesome 😊 I don't watch any other videos like this except hers. She's amazing 😊
I love the overview shot of all the products at the end!!!! ❤
I completely understand your worries about your pup! Mine just turned 7 and he is constantly having seizures and they are only getting worse and more frequent. A lot of times it happens when my husband is at work and I have terrible anxiety and I freak out. But I try not to because I have to talk to him calmly and try to make him as comfortable as possible and let him ride it out. It's heartbreaking and nerve wracking
I am so sorry for little Tater and for you. My Pom had a bad one today, and another not-so-bad seizure last week. The frequency is unusual and I'm not often too upset by them because by 8yrs old I'm used to it but yeah, you hate it for them. I've had to wash messy poopy butt twice in the past week, as well, so it's not the best doggy week. I hope Tater has a nice long (like forever) time of seizure-free life ahead of him. Hugs to you both! And thank you for posting this fun calendar, it's gorgeous and I like the things in it. But you know it's you that keeps bringing us back. You and Grace from Grackle/Extra Grack are the highlights of the holiday season.
Hope Tater's feeling better today! You should never worry about delaying videos for your puppies' health (or your own, for that matter) - they're clearly more important! It also took me way to long to realize why there were only 12-13 boxes in a 25 day advent calendar. I honestly counted those boxes so many times without realizing the calendar was double sided.
I worked at a spa at the Ritz- they used all ESPA products, all the therapists and estheticians hated using those products because most of them at the spa level use soybean oil which is a hormone disrupter. Side note I did gain a significant amount of weight while working there, but I was very unhappy working there too and I am prone to emotional eating.
We love that you care so much about your baby!! They are precious
Glad he is ok ❤❤
Btw. Love your faces when you find out costs. lol outrageous!!
Dewy skin hack:
Mix your foundation with a facial/ primer oil. Lots of luminous setting spray
Continued prayers for Tater Bug! And for you- please don’t forget to take care of yourself in all this advent craziness! We love you and are happy to watch these unboxings well in to 2024!
We love you and Tater!!! Thank you for always being so transparent us and trusting us with such a personal part of your life. Speaking for me, and I hope others agree, I’ll happily watch Advent Calendar unboxing after Christmas.. so don’t feel pressured to catch up and get these videos posted! Take the time you need and enjoy the holidays with your family ❤
Your advent calendar unboxings are the only ones I watch now! No one else compares! Your personality and humor always make my day! 🥰
I hope everyone is doing great, Tater, is in my prayers, both of your fur babies , are so amazingly adorable, you are an amazing mom. God Bless🙏🌹
I’m glad Tater is doing better. Our pets are so important to us please don’t apologize for taking care of him.
This was a nice adventure calendar, TFS.
Love the idea of alternating the good and bad ones! I enjoy both kinds!
Aww. Poor Tater. I am so so so so sorry!! He's such a good boy and has been through so much. ❤❤❤ Sending well wishes and lots of love! ❤️❤️❤️
glad tater is okay ... my own dog just started having seizures, too, and I feel for you and hear you talk about it helps me too
Favorite time of the year wrapping presents while watching your advent calendar videos! ❤️
I love that Dr. Weil Origins mega mushroom liquid, Ive been using it for years! I put it on after i wash my face. Sometimes i skip an actual moisturizer and just use the mushroom liquid. It does help redness and irritated skin. Great for combination skin too.
Love to your doggy Alexandria, thanks for these unboxings. Have a happy holiday season
I'm glad your furbaby is okay now!💙 Good calendar.
Healing vibes being sent to your fur baby. ❤
I'm so glad little Tater is doing better!
I'm loving these videos; you are hysterical!
Poor little fella, he is so lucky to have such a loving Family to look after him. Family comes first, so glad he is doing well now. Our little guy recently lost his eye and he was very sad for a while but he bounced back too. Looking forward to the Liberty calendar.
I love that you make me laugh when I watch your videos. It def helps my mood. Calendar Season is the best time of year!
So glad that your furbaby is doing better. This was a good calendar!!💚❤
I got the LookFantastic calendar last year, and I loved it because there is a good mix of makeup, skincare, hair care, and even a couple of home items! Plus, the items aren't sample size!!!
This year's calendar does look good too. I think it is one of the better calendars so far this season, but P. Louise still has the top spot!
I could never! I would open all the boxes and even the subscriptions boxes you have! It’s like the motherload of presents 🎁🎁😳
So so glad tater boy is doing better and it wasn’t a cluster! Also never need to apologise for loving ur furbabies so well!
I find the easiest way to get a dewy look is to use a dewy setting spray. That always works for me. ❤️🎄
Im so glad Tater is doing well! ❤ I dog sit for several doggos, one in particular that is epileptic, and has seizures. I definitely know how scary and, like you said, unsettling it can be. Much love ❤❤❤
I like the overview of all the products at the end!! Please keep doing this 😊
Your hair looks gorgeous! You're honestly glowing. I know life is crazy, and I hope Tater is doing well ❤ Excited to see more advent calendar chaos!
Brazilian here, you’re saying “bumbum” perfectly ❤
Poor Tato! I hope he’s doing better and getting lots of love from everyone. This was a great calendar. Even if it’s a lot of skincare, there was a good, diverse range of stuff. It gets a Thumbs Up from me!
Happy Tater is better and no worries about the videos! Take the time you need always 💜💜💜
Love the lip color. It’s perfect
I’m the same way with movies haha. IMDb is my bff while watching movies 🤣
I can’t help myself 😂😂
@@Alexandria-Ryan me either! lol. It will drive me batty if I can’t figure out where I’ve seen them before 🤣🤣
I always hit the like button everytime before the video even starts. I have loved your videos throughout the years. Thank you for your content all year around, especially the Holiday season.
Love The Great Smoky Mountains sweater!
Sending love for Tato! This calendar was awesome in comparison! Even though only half was full-sized products, the others looked like travel sizes instead of samples. I really liked the design of this calendar and how they matched the brushes to the calendar theme.
This was a great one, especially for skincare lovers!! I'm so glad to hear Tater is doing better!
you are seriously my comfort creator
That Nudestix really is your lip color with a little shine! Beautiful!
Best wishes to Tater, I hope he is doing much better! ❤ Don't ever worry about videos, pets are family and family comes first!
Thank you for the video
love these videos!!!!!
The mega mushroom essence is fantastic.
Poor Tater. Don't ever apologize for taking care of your kids!
Beautiful lip shade!
❤ for the video & ❤❤❤ for you and Tater
So happy that both Tater and his people are doing better. ❤🐶❤
This was the one adventure calendar I considered buying but practiced discipline because I have too many products.
Still having a bit of FOMO though.
I’m so sorry about your puppy, glad he is feeling better ❤🐶
I had a pup who had seizures and for some reason in the first taping I was looking at tater and thought he was going to have a seizure. It’s so heart wrenching glad he has a caring family
Sending love and light your way for tater, I have genetic generalized epilepsy and I understand what tc seizures feel like and thank you for sharing your journey with sezuires with others, sending you and everyone love and light your way all. From Alberta Canada ✌️ 💜🇨🇦
I SWEAR by that origins product. It's amazing amazing for the skin.
Girl saying prayers for Tater! Thank you for your wonderful channel. Your videos have really made me so happy when I have a heavy ❤️
Yup that lip color is perfect for you 🎉
As a Brazilian viewer, you say “bumbum” correctly for the past 6 years 😆
So glad to hear that Tater is doing better.
The origins mushroom stuff really helps with redness in your skin it's awesome
