Happy New Year, Aimee!! I'm wishing you and your family so much happiness and healing for the new year. I was so bad this Christmas with linking. I've just updated the description box with the links from the video. If there's anything I've missed just let me know and I'll link it for you! I haven't tried it yet, actually! We're doing Dry January (we make so many cocktails in December for vlogmas I give my body a break every Jan haha) but I still have all the stuff from the holidays, so I will definitely make this in February. I still treat all the cold months like it's the holidays anyway haha. Funny you mention more videos. I'm just finishing up my Christmas Day video now and it should be up tomorrow!! We had 12 hours of footage, so it has been a challenge to get it edited haha.

Thank you so much for the links and for the well wishes for the new year! I’m definitely hoping 2025 is better on all fronts. It’s good to give our bodies a break from anything potentially harmful (sugar, alcohol, caffeine) and reset! Sometimes I don’t realize how much I’m consuming something until I actually stop consuming it. I will look forward to your Christmas footage whenever you have time to finish it (no pressure!). Enjoy the rest of the winter months! Your tree was so beautiful this year that I wouldn’t have wanted to take it down!

There are thousands and thousands of sources online that show the effectiveness of castor oil for eyelashes and hair growth.

Omg thank you - I'm so happy with the tree we lucked out with this year!! Merry Christmas to you, too! And yes, we want to actually change up the content to be more findable so that I can focus on actually filming content throughout the year again, as opposed to just Christmas, and thank you so much, that's always the goal so I love that's how it comes across!! 💗

Oh Aimee, I am so so sorry. I have actually been thinking about you this month. I was hoping everything was okay because I hadn't heard from you and I'm so sad that you've been going through something so challenging. I completely shut down during loss - I can't talk to anyone, so I completely know how hard it is to connect with anyone when you're suffering. I am so grateful that you were able to find a little bit of escape in these videos. Whistler is such a beautiful place, especially when it snows. I'm so happy you enjoyed the footage! Sebastian and I struggled a bit with an overwhelming schedule this year (due to work, etc.) but I'm really looking forward to the period between now and NYE to read, relax and recoup. I hope despite everything you're dealing with right now, you were able to enjoy yourself this Christmas and created some really beautiful memories. Sending you so much love. ❤️

@ Thank you, Kristi-Anne. I’m so touched by your thoughtfulness! You are truly such an empathetic person and I know you “get it”. My two boys definitely keep me propelling forward through this difficult season. Wishing you both the best in the New Year and enjoy this down time.

Thank you so much, Aimee. I'm really happy to hear you have your boys to help get you through this. I'm wishing you health, happiness, and healing for the New Year ❤️

Oh my gosh that's so funny. I also always refer to summer sweaters haha. Not sure if you remember, but my hometown is right next to the Alaskan border haha. Summer there is like 18 degrees celsius/64 fahrenheit haha.

😂 I'm strangely competitive about beating him at the advent calendars hahahaha. Thank you so much! I love the tree we got this year so much I'm living in a fridge to try and keep it fresh as long as possible 😂. Hope you had the merriest of Christmases and wishing you an amazing New Year! PS: so great to hear from you! Hope you've been really well!! 💗

Hehehe I literally bought more Lindt chocolate even after I heard about this. 🤪 I hope that since it's just once a year it'll be fine hahaha

I looovveee it and omg it is SO soft. It feels like cashmere, I highly recommend!! I got it in an XXS! I'm 5'2" and I got the regular, not petite! Oh no!! It might be expensive, but also worth it to get your lead levels checked. Praying you haven't been affected by the lead levels! I read that the worst offenders when it usually comes to lead exposure are in environments where you're working with it, so hopefully this is the case and the chocolate hasn't been hamrful!

@@kristi-anne Hopefully! 🙏

🤣 he's such a troll. Thank you so much! It's SO comfortable. It feels like cashmere. I want to buy other colors once those too go on sale haha

🤣 and it totally worked in my favor haha. Merry Christmas, Bo!! Hope you and your family had an amazing day!! ❤️

Aww yay, I'm so happy you enjoy the recipes!! The pan I used in this video is the Le Creuset 2 1/4 QT braiser! I added the gold knob on myself (they don't sell this version in Canada but you can buy the knobs separately). Hope you had a merry Christmas!! ❤️🎄

Thank you so much! I'm so happy you love the montages! You know what's so funny? Literally right after I talked about the egg mcmuffin in this video, I googled to see if I could find a cheese that tasted as close as possible, and I found that the great value deluxe American Cheese tastes as close to the McDonald's version (shared by one of their ex executive chefs) and I have to say it tastes 95% the same! It's not individually wrapped like the Kraft singles, and it has a strong and salty flavor. It's funny you said that about the eggs because that's exactly what I do, too! I fill up one of the rounds in the pan with water, put on the lid and steam them haha. Thank you so much, I'm so so happy you love coming back for my holiday vlogs!! 💗

Thank you so much!!! I’m still so shocked about the tree. I’m so happy about it!!

Merry Christmas Eve Eve!! 😂 Love it!!

Thank you so much for coming back!! ❤️🎄

Aww yay I'm so happy you found it cozy!! I was worried there wouldn't be enough content haha. I loovveee going back to the same places that bring me joy. Especially with Whistler though, because it's close by and one of the few places I can get to quickly and see snow during the holidays.

It's sooo good! I highly recommend, especially for colder months cause they're all such comforting liqueurs! Thank you! It was really nice to get away ❤️

Thank you so much! The lobby is just gorgeous. Christmas in every corner. I wish all hotels did this. Sadly, the Four Seasons had one measly Christmas tree last year. There will be a new vlog tomorrow! I apologize for such huge delays with the videos this year ☹️ I tried to prepare to be off for work, but unfortunately it wasn't enough and I've been working a lot more than I usually have to. That said, thank you SO much for always coming back each holiday season! 💗 You have no idea how much it means to me!

@@kristi-anne ⚜Can’t wait! Please post any vlogs you’ve already filmed even if it’s after the holiday; you never go out of style!

Aww yay, I'm so glad you got some ideas from it! I was trying to think hard about the things that bring me that extra bit of joy but that I now consider essential. Indigo has the Rifle Paper Co mugs! They're just such great coffee mugs. I love the handle and shape of the mug because it's practical but beautiful! The Mackenzie Childs teapot has different patterns, too. I adore the Rosy Check pattern. It's so feminine and pretty!

HAHA I knew that was how it was going to sound. I'm still in disbelief! It has been more and more tough every year to find my tree 🥲 I have even thought about going to an all-grand fir tree farm in Oregon to buy one 🤪. I'm insane.

They are soooo gorgeous. The ones in Alberta look amazing. The one at Lake Louise is insane. My sister stayed there and LOVED it. I LOVE the architecture, too! Especially the ones that have that chateau-esque look to them! Omg I've eaten sushi/nigiri like 5 times this month already and I'm already thinking about getting it tomorrow 🤣. I LOVE that they make so much effort with the lights! Thank you so much! It was so great to unwind!

Omg hey!! It's so nice to hear from you!! I hope you had an amazing year! So happy you came back for another year of vlogmas! 💗

Thank you so much! So happy you enjoyed!! ❄️❤️✨

🤣 he loves to call me out on my extra-ness, which is why I often feel like I need to explain my extra-ness haha since I usually don't think it's as over the top as other people might 🤪 I cannot believe I managed to get this tree. It absolutely shocked me. We showed up like 30 minutes before they closed for the year. It felt like fate. I definitely know where the future trees are coming from 🤣. Aww thank you so much! I'm so happy I can give you a little bit of holiday joy when you're struggling with stress from school and work! I totally feel the need to compensate when my family isn't here. It never feels really like Christmas without them, and now they never get to come anymore because my sister has to work during those days ☹️ I'm so glad you get it! 💗 Merry Christmas!!

It was such a great price! USD it probably was something like 180 a night. Whistler is typically wildly expensive so I was very happy about it haha. I’m so happy you like the footage! I looovvve driving around their neighborhoods. The houses are just so perfect for a ski resort town at Christmas!

Omg I’m so happy to hear from you! I hope you had an amazing year! I’ve heard from a few people they didn’t know until they checked my channel, but yay I’m so glad you came back! Thank you so much! Merry Christmas and happy holidays! 🎄🎅❄️

Yay I’m so happy you enjoyed! It always gives me Christmas spirit to be around the snow and the houses designed for a ski resort town. I just love it! And thank you so much!

We decorated it last week but, as usual, falling behind on getting the vlogs up on time 😅

Thank you! I just don't want it to come off as out of touch since it's just a tree. I can totally tell Halloween is your favorite holiday. No one goes as all out with the makeup looks as you do!! It's amazing!! I wish I could see your Halloween decor cause your makeup alone is perfection! This type of Christmas tree is only 5% of Christmas trees produced ☹️ They're what I grew up with and have the strongest Christmas tree smell, so I can't bare getting a different type. The lots open up in mid November, but my issue is always that I can't get it before I'm done filming my vlogmas intro because it takes me so long to decorate my main tree. This tree we ended up getting on the 8th, which is about when we usually manage to find one. Next year I'm going to go to the same woman and buy her large tree again, even though it's later, because I know it'll be a good tree haha. Aww thank you so so much!! I have such a hard time coming up with the intros and putting them together, so you have no idea how happy it makes me that you enjoy them!!

@ Ok! Thanks for explaining. I don’t know anything about real Christmas trees or lot since I never had a real Christmas trees and none of my family either I have zero clue. We all grew up with fake tree. Your Christmas trees that you found is gorgeous I can’t wait to see all decorated. You always decorate so beautiful. Your welcome I do know how much it goes in all your intro. I experience with my 60 sec Halloween makeup tutorials. My pinhead took me 4 to 5 hours to do for a second video. Alice the wonderland Mad Hatter took me 6 hours bc of the details. Even the simples video will still take time. I know your intro took time. You did great as always. I enjoy all of them every year. ♥️

Oh gosh, I'm so sorry I didn't see this message before! Thank you so much, I think we are most comfortable with what we grew up with. My family always had real Christmas trees, so that carried over into me as an adult. Oh my gosh I can't even imagine the work that goes into actually creating those looks!! ou do them SO well. Your videos remind me of this other creator who is really great at special effects and scary makeup looks. You might find her stuff interesting. Her name is hollymurraymakeup instagram.com/p/DDFh-JaN1t4/?hl=en

Thank you so much-that means a lot to me! I don't want it to come off as out of touch because it's a privileged problem. This is probably my favorite tree to-date. I'm still in disbelief! We actually ended up adding more flock haha. I felt like this tree needed to feel extra snowy. The book is called The Most Wonderful Crime of the Year! I haven't had a chance to read more than a few pages yet, but I can't wait to get into it!

Thank you so much!! I’m so happy with it!!

Thank you so much!! I also love to be in search of a book haha. Being in a book store makes me so happy haha. Thanks so much, we definitely did!!

Thank you so much! I definitely recommend giving this one a try. It’s incredibly delicious!!

Thank you so much! I actually said that it was a Christmas miracle at one clip in the video and I cut it out hahaha. I have not had a large grand fir in quite a few years, so I could not be more ecstatic about this year's tree. I wish I could keep it up all year long 😂. Omg book stores just bring me soooo much joy. I'm so happy that you loved the walk through! I will make sure to do that more often!! People seem to LOVE this book. I've only had enough time to read a couple of pages, but I'm sooo looking forward to sitting down and doing nothing else for a few hours but getting lost in it.

🤣 and watch, he still won't have gotten the hint hahaha. I guess we will see on Christmas if I get the mug 😂. Omg going to book stores this time of year, especially, is so amazing - you should go check some out! I love going just for the vibes alone!! And yes, I need to do an updated video with my favorite books I've read this year!! If you need a holiday book rec. I loved Snowed In last year from Catherine Walsch! And thank you so much! I am sooooooo over the moon happy with the fluffiness of this tree!!

@kristi-anne 🤣 We shall see in Christmas day. 🤣 Ahhhh! I love browsing at the book store too!! Especially during the holidays! It brings me so much joy! And thanks for sharing your recommendation!! I'll definitely check it out!! ❤

I could not believe it. Especially since there was a LOT of going to different lots and farms to find a tree with no success haha. Thank you so much. The new tree is just so beautiful even without anything on it, I could not be more grateful. I wish I could keep it up all year long 😂. I will be squeezing every last minute of joy out of this one!! Thank you so much, I'm so happy you loved the vlog!! 💗

Fortunately, I haven't had major tangles from it, but I do really dislike how my hair goes all over the place! I feel like I need a better solution for wearing my hair with parkas and hooded jackets on haha

@@kristi-anne I hear you! I always put my hair in an English braid during the winter and so far it's been helping me not to have tangles.

That's such a smart idea. My hair has been going through it for the last few months. II was out of the country for 6 weeks and the water was super hard, and it caused SO MUCH of my hair to just snap off. I'm currently in the process of trying to nurse it back to health. I should start doing braids, too! Thanks for the suggestion!!

@@kristi-anne I find braids help out a lot during the winter months when I wear beanies and parkas. Where did you travel to? Water changes can be so hard on our hair. I'm having a lot of issues with hair shedding and having low iron. Like you I'm trying to improve it as much as possible but hair takes so long to see an actual difference.

Yes totally!! Even though it's wet here, my hair always dries out and becomes more fragile in the winter! We were in Europe, and I don't know if it's just the way water is treated in Europe, but my hair was literally like hay. SOOOO much of it broke off - all the density I'd gained with the changed I'd made was gone haha. And you're right, changes when it comes to hair is soooo slow to see a difference!

Omg thank you!! It's from Max Mara! I got it two years ago in Europe but I think this is one of their classic styles that they always bring back!

Okay so actually apparently it's no longer on the website, but it's their mango jacket. Other websites still have it! 😊

Aww yay thank you so much!! The cocktail shaker is from amazon! I will add a link to the description! Initially, the seal wasn't perfect so it would leak a bit (but it isn't leaking anymore fortunately), but it's great for filming because you can see the ingredients going in!

I've added it to the description box 😊

Omg thank you!! I have been doing a crappy job all vlogmas when it comes to doing my hair since it takes up too much time haha, so thank you! If you get a chance you should DEFINITELY try this miso black cod. It's insane. Like one of the best things I've ever made!! There's still a some more grand fir search in the next vlog 😂🤪

Enjoyed this vlog as I do all of them. Cod looks delicious. I love the black aviators you’re wearing at the tree farm, can you let me know where they are from? Thank you ❤

@ thank you!! Yes of course, they’re the Ray Ban RB3025 aviators in the black frame and green lenses! 😊

Thank you so much!! It was honestly way easier than it looks. The presentation really is just in the simplicity, but omg the flavor is incredible! Highly recommend!

I haven't in a while, but my eyelashes are shedding right now so I'm going to start again!! The kind I use is IQ Natural Jamaican Black Castor Oil, but I've used so many over the years and they've all been great! That said, I prefer the black variety - I find it works the best!

Omg I wish I was on the eastern side, cause then at least we'd get snow 😂 I'm always in the minority. I hate our weather haha. I would way rather have snow!

Thanks so much!! It was a much more relaxing trip than usual!! I've been burnt out - it was definitely needed!

Thank you so much!! Aww I'm so happy to hear that!! We have finally figured out the tree situation haha. And to say I'm shocked is an under statement 😂
