Hey guys! It's been a while since I filmed and posted so I wanted to start off with a simple little unboxing! Let me know what you guys think of this box! I actually did enjoy this unboxing and I could see the items making a nice gift for someone or yourself! Let me know your thoughts! Love ya💖 PS. Sorry tater is eating his toes during most of the video, the poor boy has so many skin issues and he gets itchy!
don’t overwork yourself! take as many breaks as you need! lupus is exhausting and burning yourself out is much more serious with lupus. save those spoons for the important things! (spoons refers to spoon theory by Christine Miserandino)
I love seeing these items!!! It's so fun and beautiful. Practical, maybe not... Lol but I still love this subscription. Thank you for making these videos, Alexandria! I have autoimmune and chronic illnesses and your videos make me forget my troubles while I'm watching you and the boys.🥰 I hope Tater boy has less itchiness this week. Sending you all my love.💐❤️
My youtube algorithm keeps suggesting other tubers unboxing advent calendars and I'm like NOPE I'm waiting for Alexandria as it's much more fun. Hope you feel better soon.
@victoriaconway1 i also watch Melissa the cheap chick who is also fun to watch, doesn't so much do advent calendars but does a wide variety of fun and different things.
Be kind to yourself if you aren't feeling it. Pushing yourself to post is just going to stress you out more. We can wait and we'll still love you. There's a special paper you can buy that you lay things on and it imprints the image of whatever you put on it using the sun (cyanotypes or sun paper).
Your “smells like Scotland” comment cracked me up. Because I just bought a “perfumed luminary” that smells EXACTLY like stepping into my favorite specialty shop in the city my brother lives. I also have stood in the perfumed luminary aisle of HomeGoods with my best friend saying things like “this smells like our friend’s home” or “this smells like Magic Kingdom” nearly every single time we shop together. I feel ya.
I guess the items were reasonable (cost and function), and DEFINITELY able to be used as gifts!!! The measuring cups are cute, but NOT practical at all! I'm tempted to find that "Scotland" scent; sounds fabulous!! ❤ (Valencia could be an orange scent; I've heard of Valencia oranges.)
I used one of the library of flowers cream fragrances about ten years ago and loved it. Much less pungent when used on the skin- the intensity really is customizable. My product went bad and broke down before I could use it all, so it wasn't a repurchase for me for the cost.
I had the same problem with the texture eventually going weird. That said, I absolutely love those cream fragrances. I have the honeycomb one and it actually gives a very pleasantly subtle scent when worn on skin.
The Vogue advent calendar is available to preorder. I was going to get it because, in my opinion, it was one of the best boxes you opened last year. I quickly backed down after converting the sticker price. Coming in at almost $700 cad, there's no way I could justify it. 🤢🤮
Oh yay this will help me get through this last half hr of work. Also I can not wait for advent season I am counting it down lol. I hope you and the doggies and your husband are all doing good 💜
The perfume - you mentioned it had a “hit of fruit’ - I’m thinking it is the “Valencia”? As in Valencia Oranges? So good to see you today - I’ve been wondering how you are (fellow Lupus warrior) and was hoping you were getting some rest and taking care of yourself!
So nice to have you back! You always make me smile😊. My favorite perfume is Tokyo Milk Dead Sexy. I actually have the cream perfume in that scent. It may start strong but dies down & gives me a wonder light scent that lasts. Looking forward to Advent! ❤
OMG no no! Those cute little cups completely match that pillow case you got in the last video!! 😅 it was just like a cover for a square pillow and it literally looks like it was made to go with those cups!❤ i love them
Tokyo milk dark used to be a huge line. The discontinued lip balm tins, and the retired perfumes. I miss those Elena, dang it! Edit: I might have to try that perfume, it's a new scent for 2024 to the line, your reaction makes me want it!
The perfume cream said it was 3x stronger so maybe if you only use a small dab on your wrist it won't be as strong. Or mix it with something unscented to dull the fragrance more
Thank you for the “hot throw” “cold throw” explanation. I had not heard of that before; it makes sense (scents 😂…I make my self giggle) But seriously….thanks !!!!!!
I love watching you unbox things while I work. Lupus sisters in silliness. You inspired me to create a Halloween Advent calendar this year of my artistry. Thank you it was super fun. I have a Gothmas one coming out in October as well. Keep being fun and inspiring !
This is my only subscription now since finding Honeycomb - Library of Flowers in one of my final ipsy bags. I stopped the ipsy's (multilevel subscriptions) and the add-ons and have been with Margot Elena since. I've began subscribing in 2021 and most everything is wonderful. There are a few strange scents in the Archive line; but for $67 every 3 months (because I'm a subscriber) this is so worth it
Don't forget to find the lid & put it back on the hand cream, hun. I really liked the idea of that pot holder, idk if the colours were my thing. But it was a good size and I like you can then use it as a mat to rest a pot/pan on. Your reaction to that scent was probably the most enthusiastic I have seen you about a perfume. I love the idea of sneak attacking your husband with it...hope it smells as good on him. Sorry you haven't been doing so well. Hopefully, it is just adjusting to new meds or something, and things are picking up for you.
Take care of YOU! As a fellow Looney Lupus Club member, Fall is my worst season in terms of how I feel and flare ups. I love Fall but my body does not. The temp fluctuations are horrendous on my joints. The hot tub is a game changer! The box was fun but those measuring cups are a hard nope. They’d be broken by the end of attempting to bake something! Even if I set them out as decoration, hung on hooks beneath the cabinet, I’d have to dust them.
use the measuring cups as little pots or planters. You can always put artificial plants in there if you want with some stones. I think it would be adorable. Then you never have to wash them.
SO many flashbacks with that perfume cream. When I was a kid, my grandma would get these creams from Avon... To this day I can STILL smell it. I DEF lost brain cells LOL. Edit: it's also why to this day I don't like florals.
I needed a video today. I just tested positive for covid AGAIN 3 days after being negative. Ive now got a rebound case and i want to just crawl in a hole and dye.
So you don’t have to worry! You’re not crazy! I had those black papers that you press flowers and stuff on and put in the sun and it changes the paper blue. I was there! You’re not crazy!
Oh my gosh…I’ve never seen this box before. It is more than I can afford but love the products! Love your unboxings! Can’t wait for the holiday Advent Calendars! 🍁🎃
I've canceled almost every sub box, but this one is just too pretty. Plus, no one seems sick of me gift8ng them from this box. Have you gotten the taste of home special delivery box? It's a cookbook and 5 to 8 cooking items. I want to keep the pot holder and measuring cups, but they don't match anything, so I might give them away. 😢
I had to pause the video and look it up: A party horn (also known as a party blower or noisemaker) is a horn formed from a paper tube, often flattened and rolled into a coil, which unrolls when blown into, producing a horn-like noise.
Bet the dishwasher would take the "one cup" off! Haha, yes the off centered would bug me too. The pattern may come off as well, but if it does, then they'd be white on the outside and match your house better. 😂
Every time I see an advent calendar on IG, I have been tagging you. 😂 This box was interesting 🤔 Not sure how I feel about it; maybe if I liked florals, I'd enjoy it. Could be a good gift for my mom, though.
Nice to see you again honey. We missed you. We hope you are feeling better, there is nothing wrong with taking care of yourself. Having said that I really missed you! ❤❤❤❤
So i know you went through a crochet phase lately. I just bought my woobles advent calendar and was wondering if that one was on your list? I am mail lady and wont be able to do the projects during december so i am opening mine up right away! Haha😊
Im so sorry to hear that! However, if you are like me, there is some relief in having a diagnosis, a reason behind the way you are feeling, and hopefully a plan of action. I have been on medication for a few months now and so far I haven't started feeling better but my experience might be totally different than yours! I hope that you start feeling better soon! 💖
I've never been this early I absolutely love your channel. It's legit the only one I consistently watch. Absolutely obsessed with advent calendar season 😊hope your furbabies are both doing well
Aww thank you so much! Thats so kind of you! Advent season might be starting even sooner this year! Thank you so much, we are doing well and we hope you are too!
@@Alexandria-Ryan I can't wait Im looking forward to it . Thank you so much for the response I'm doing well also just celebrated my birthday a few days late with the girls. Chapter 34 , 4 days in hasn't been so bad.

I'm super curious as to where that potholder is made. If it's made in Colorado, I just might have to sign up for this box.😎
@@cashmoney865Yes! What cashmoney said! It's too easy to get run down. It's so important to keep a healthy balance.
Take all the time you need! Never feel like you have to apologize for putting your health before UA-cam❤
My youtube algorithm keeps suggesting other tubers unboxing advent calendars and I'm like NOPE I'm waiting for Alexandria as it's much more fun. Hope you feel better soon.
Sophie Louise is also really good to watch, she doesn't post very often during the non-advent seasons but always has good videos
@victoriaconway1 i also watch Melissa the cheap chick who is also fun to watch, doesn't so much do advent calendars but does a wide variety of fun and different things.
This
Same here 😂
Same. I don’t care about unboxing videos. Just Alexandria unboxing videos
The only creators that love this box get it free for review ….we love your honesty queen ❤
The "dying blue in the sun" process is called cyanotype 💙 it was a photography method back in the olden times lol.
Be kind to yourself if you aren't feeling it. Pushing yourself to post is just going to stress you out more. We can wait and we'll still love you. There's a special paper you can buy that you lay things on and it imprints the image of whatever you put on it using the sun (cyanotypes or sun paper).
The fact that you already have advent calendars in your room makes me ridiculously happy. 😊

Don’t be sorry for not feeling well. We all totally understand. I’m always happy to watch whenever you upload.
Those measuring cups were so adorable. But not dishwasher safe is a deal breaker.
I hope you and Tator feel better soon.
Use the cups as little planters on ur windowsill for herbs ? They are darling!

Omg thank you, I have one and I’ve been using it sparingly because of the price, I didn’t even think about it going bad 😅
I had the same problem with the texture eventually going weird. That said, I absolutely love those cream fragrances. I have the honeycomb one and it actually gives a very pleasantly subtle scent when worn on skin.
Is a fall tradition to start, from sep 1st, to watch Alexandra unbox calendars
Love "Pretty Birds, Pretty Birds"!!
Always such a treat to watch your videos! Take care of yourself; we'll wait for your videos!

You have me in full Advent calendar mode and I've been on the hunt!
Same! I just bought one of the Sephora ones 🫣🫣
I adore Margot's products. Not only are they beautifully packaged, but the actual products are fantastic!
So happy to see you Alex! I hope you are doing better and keep taking the time to care for yourself!
Oh yay this will help me get through this last half hr of work. Also I can not wait for advent season I am counting it down lol. I hope you and the doggies and your husband are all doing good 💜

watching this while sick has improved my mood. thanks friend!
love the measuring cups
YAY AN ALEX VIDEO !
Thank you for watching💖💖
Yes! Finally a new Alex vid! I watched your other ones to bits 😊 ❤
oo i LOVE cyanotype printing!! it's so pretty!
I, personally, will watch you whenever you post so you take care of you and I’ll be here.
So happy to get a new video to watch! This box has so many nice things that would definitely have made a great gift for my Mom. ❤
Your subscription boxes are so organized now!!!!
We've been back from Scotland for 3 weeks, and we're already thinking about our next trip! ❤❤❤❤❤
It’s just such a wonderful place! I hope you guys had the best time and I hope you get to go in that next trip soon!
Thrilled you posted! Love your reviews and energy!
Hiiii Alexandria 💖 ... Sincerely hope you begin to feel better, soon. Please give yourself grace, and time. ❤
I care! And I said that it wasn't centered exactly as you said it! I'm glad you're feeling up to filming!
Take care of yourself wee chicken! Sending you hugs from Scotland! 🏴❤🥰 🫂
What a great box! Always such a treat to watch your videos! I hope you and Tater and Wren and your husband feel great/better!
Great to see you back!
I think my favorite one you do, after advent calendars, is the hour unboxing, where you unbox as many as you can
I just taught my high school photo class cyanotype photos and prints. It’s super easy and fun.
You've had a lot on your plate recently, so be kind to yourself! I look forward to your unboxings and they always make me laugh. Take care! ❤
So nice to have you back! You always make me smile😊. My favorite perfume is Tokyo Milk Dead Sexy. I actually have the cream perfume in that scent. It may start strong but dies down & gives me a wonder light scent that lasts. Looking forward to Advent! ❤
I hope you feel better soon. I've also been struggling with new health problems so I understand not feeling like doing things. 💜💜
Your unboxings are great thanks so much for the content I am glad you feel better!
OMG no no! Those cute little cups completely match that pillow case you got in the last video!! 😅 it was just like a cover for a square pillow and it literally looks like it was made to go with those cups!❤ i love them
I will always wait for you to post. Life happens but I just enjoy your energy
Tokyo milk dark used to be a huge line. The discontinued lip balm tins, and the retired perfumes. I miss those Elena, dang it!
Edit: I might have to try that perfume, it's a new scent for 2024 to the line, your reaction makes me want it!
You do what you need to do for you we will all be here every time you upload 😊
Always love watching your content!❤
Love those measuring cups
The perfume cream said it was 3x stronger so maybe if you only use a small dab on your wrist it won't be as strong. Or mix it with something unscented to dull the fragrance more
The measuring cups might not match your decorating style, but they would be a cute pop of color.
Thank you for the “hot throw” “cold throw” explanation. I had not heard of that before; it makes sense (scents 😂…I make my self giggle) But seriously….thanks !!!!!!
I love watching you unbox things while I work. Lupus sisters in silliness. You inspired me to create a Halloween Advent calendar this year of my artistry. Thank you it was super fun. I have a Gothmas one coming out in October as well. Keep being fun and inspiring !
The honeysuckle scent is my favvvv of their lotion

Hi, beautiful, I had to chuckle when you did that with Tater, so cute! The measuring cups were kind of pretty! ❤️🐾🐾
Woopie! Its Alex time ❤
Thank you so much for watching!!

This box has some cute stuff. I think the measuring ups are super cute!
I love your videos! Can’t wait for advent season 😀
the word you were looking for was "cyanotype" i think!
Yes❤
What a beautiful design luv, luv, luv it.
I think those things in the bird's mouth are called "Party Blowers."
Great job of reasoning through your thinking to get to the correct name.
I'm so excited for advent season!! Going to be a pleasure to watch!!! Yeah,!!!
I love the Margot elena box! Its always so pretty and such a treat!
Excited to watch, your videos make my day
Aww thank you so much!
@@Alexandria-Ryan you’re welcome. Hope you’re starting to feel better.
@@melissadominiczak6218 Thank you! I am just taking things day by day! I hope you are well!
@@Alexandria-RyanI was diagnosed with MS about 10 year’s ago. So I totally understand your journey. Best of luck with everything!
They're called noisemakers. Or party horns. I'm 61 and still love those things.🥳
SO many flashbacks with that perfume cream. When I was a kid, my grandma would get these creams from Avon... To this day I can STILL smell it. I DEF lost brain cells LOL.
Edit: it's also why to this day I don't like florals.
I have to say, baked spiced pears with vanilla ice cream is one of my favorite quick desserts!!
I needed a video today. I just tested positive for covid AGAIN 3 days after being negative. Ive now got a rebound case and i want to just crawl in a hole and dye.
Candle 🙅♀️
Perfumed Luminary 💸😍
So you don’t have to worry! You’re not crazy! I had those black papers that you press flowers and stuff on and put in the sun and it changes the paper blue. I was there! You’re not crazy!
Your hair has been looking so thick and healthy!!!!❤❤❤
Oh my gosh…I’ve never seen this box before. It is more than I can afford but love the products! Love your unboxings! Can’t wait for the holiday Advent Calendars! 🍁🎃

I had to pause the video and look it up: A party horn (also known as a party blower or noisemaker) is a horn formed from a paper tube, often flattened and rolled into a coil, which unrolls when blown into, producing a horn-like noise.
If you start calling them perfumed luminaries you can raise the price by $10 per candle.
Isn't Valencia an orange?
Valencia is a city in Spain; Valencia oranges are an American cultivar named after the oranges of Valencia 😂
Bet the dishwasher would take the "one cup" off! Haha, yes the off centered would bug me too. The pattern may come off as well, but if it does, then they'd be white on the outside and match your house better. 😂
So…a Renegade, a Pentaholic, and now a Home Fry!!
If you want a fun one, do their Butts Remix 😂
You need to try the baked pears with a nice thin caramel sauce. It's really good.
Feel better soon
I subscribe to this box seasonally. I absolutely love this box. It is the only box that I still currently subscribe to. I love your videos. ❤
I would say measuring cups are the hit of the box!
Bloomingdale's 25-Day advent calendar is now available (currently $285, but $325 full price)
Every time I see an advent calendar on IG, I have been tagging you. 😂 This box was interesting 🤔 Not sure how I feel about it; maybe if I liked florals, I'd enjoy it. Could be a good gift for my mom, though.
baked pears are great! You can add a bit of ice cream or whipped cream to make it really decadent.
Nice to see you again honey. We missed you. We hope you are feeling better, there is nothing wrong with taking care of yourself. Having said that I really missed you! ❤❤❤❤
I made my own potholder like that. I put them over the oven handle
So excited!
Yay! I hope you enjoy the video!
Feel better! You are my FAVORITE! I don’t usually comment, but I wanted you to know you have another friend from Boise, Idaho!
So i know you went through a crochet phase lately. I just bought my woobles advent calendar and was wondering if that one was on your list? I am mail lady and wont be able to do the projects during december so i am opening mine up right away! Haha😊
I’d keep the measuring cups cause you like them so much
Love the reference to Scotland 🏴
Hey Alexandria, I was just diagnosed with Lupus a week ago. When do you start to feel even a little bit better.
Im so sorry to hear that! However, if you are like me, there is some relief in having a diagnosis, a reason behind the way you are feeling, and hopefully a plan of action. I have been on medication for a few months now and so far I haven't started feeling better but my experience might be totally different than yours! I hope that you start feeling better soon! 💖
Love those cups so much. As a baker I love having pretty little kitchen items. Doesn’t your mom like pink? Or save them for a bride to be
I totally understand that places have a "scent." I get the same feeling any time I'm somewhere the British had heavy influence in the past.
