So many things in this video sparked MAJOR joy for me...Larry, fall leaves...floor samples..and tea recommendations. 💛🧡

[MariTheAmateur]

I always know I can settle in for a lovely chat when I see a new post from you in my feed. Adore everything from your tea recommendations to your Ann Arbor and Larry footage to your culinary adventures to your gracefully consumerism-minded Sephora recommendations. Love your work.

[haligirl]

Can I just say that you are amazing at describing fragrances! I could listen to you describe fragrance all day. Now I want both your recommendations! :)

Hi Sandra, such a beautiful autumn over there! I also get ready for myself, just a little pick me up thing that sets me in a good mood for the rest of the day! <3

[asecretpath]

My ❤️, the cuteness! Larry is amazing. And little Pepper suddenly looks like a huge dog next to him. 😁

[MakeupBeliever]

Your "new" hair color is absolutely beautiful - suits you so well!

[berylkaplan]

Your hair looks stunning. I love your vlogs. You’re so sweet and beautiful. Thanks for sharing yourself with us.

Hi Sandra ! I love watching your videos !
I just wanted to say that I have the Dyson AirWrap and honestly it is WAY too expensive for what it is. I have fine, thin hair but it takes so long to style it with that tool.. It’s overhyped!
love from France ! xx

[PrincessePenny]

I was just about to ask you about your nail polish again but thankfully you have it listed in the description! Needless to say it’s already in my cart! I just love not only your beauty-fashion choices but also your home deco and the whole esthetic of your videos! I’ve been watching you since the good old days of YouTube and I’ve always appreciated your recommendations and your honest opinions!

The Chantecaille Singles and Tom Ford Eyeliner have gotten me threw the Q. I love them all! Thanks for the recipes. Trying the veggie Chile tonight and OMG I need the Pat McGrath Under Eye, Byredo lipstick and the Bloomist Vase aid. Happy Holidays!

Love your vlogs and the illustrations you add to your recipes, so cute!

i have the dyson airwrap and i LOVE it, hate to be a shill but it makes my hair so shiny and it's while it gets hot bc of how fast it works i feel like it's less damaging than using a curling iron/flat iron.

what i will say is you can't be as precise with the airwrap, so if you're really fussy about your hair having a specific look then it might not be for you. i happen to enjoy the blow out + messy waves combo but i know it's not for everyone.

[Zoe.TheBody]

Love your vlogs and your relaxed style. I have been soooo much more minimalist and considerate of all my purchases lately and it so much more satisfying that constant impulse buying. May be it is 2020 but I despise waste in any form. I'm still a work in progress in some areas...but I am proud of the fact I am getting better.

Always love the vlogs, thanks for sharing!

[amandahoward]

Absolutely love your vlogs. They are a delight to watch, so thank you for sharing 🤗

Hey Sandra, just thought i would add my thoughts on the Dyson airwrap. I got it during last year's Holiday VIB sale and I do not regret it one bit. Here are my caveats thought, it does get hot but not as hot as a hot tool and for that reason the curls you get do not last, they drop significantly on my fine hair. However, I am left with a nice blowout look without my ends looking poker straight, they are soft curled inwards so it still looks nice but the airwrap does not last on my fine hair. I still highly rate it because my hair is healthier, looks like I have had a professional blowout and I rarely use my other hot tools unless I want a proper wavy look. It does take awhile to get used to. I have frizzy hair so I always use the brush to smooth out the top of my head then go in with the airwrap and it looks great!

As always, love all your vlogs. Also, anxiously waiting to follow your office journey. ♥️

Somehow missed this video and you shared a butternut soup just as I was thinking I need a good recipe for one. So thanks for sharing! Love your vlogs as always 💙

[missyabsurd]

I really liked the editing with all of the recipes. I'm in a whole pumpkin mood in the kitchen right now, pumpkin risotto, pumpkin soup, give me all of the pumpkin xd And you totally sold me on the description of that cologne. Loved the whole vlog, as always.
