Love + appreciate you all SO much. 💌🧁✨💘🌸💫 Thanks for being here with me 💕

[@mariamangion21]

Love and appreciate you too ❤️ Can't wait to watch!!

[@oliviab4412]

Happy Valentines Day to you, B, and Palmer🤍! Thank you for adding a little extra love into our lives 🥰💗

[@janellehunt6344]

Your wick is upside down you’re supposed to put the wick on the bottom and that would help so it doesn’t leak out so you got a flip it over the wick the metal piece is supposed to go on the bottom so then it won’t be lob cited and then you put the WIC through the metal piece on the top and you wrap it around the metal piece that stays in place

[@janellehunt6344]

But I love your videos you’re an amazing human I live in Naples Florida so I get to live by the beach every day but you have helped me get through so many bad things in my life and I love you so much you are my favorite KZbinr of all time so thank you for doing what you do and keep on bringing the Spirit of God love happiness and joy you are an amazing person

[@roryroopa]

Happy Galentines to everyone in Allison's squad!!!💞🥳💞🥳 Squad? Fam? Do we have a name yet haha

[@kimmbond2052]

I believe the round metal circle that you have on the metal cross bar is actually supposed to be in the bottom of the candle. Use the tacky stuff on the bottom of the metal circle of the wick and push the tacky stuff on the bottom metal disk on the bottom inside middle of the candle to seal the hole. Then, up top you wrap the actual wick through the hole on the metal crossbar - that way you can make it taut (a pencil works well as the cross bar. You are a sweet friend to always be thinking of thoughtful ways to bless others. Happy Valentines Day!💕

[@mariamangion21]

Allison, you are so tender-hearted and kind-spirited. Your soul shines the most beautiful, magical light. It's so obvious that the Lord has such a breathtaking, most loveliest purpose for you! Thank you for teaching us to love life and live each moment to the absolute fullest 💕

[@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF]

Maria! 💕 Sending you so much love, always! Thank you for being such an encouraging & sweet human 🥰

[@vasanarodrigo2106]

Couldnt Agree More! ❤️

[@carrollgirl547]

I agree. She is going to make an amazing mother one day.

[@maryrobbio3540]

Allison concerning your candle, the little circle tab is supposed to be down in the bottom of the mold

[@itskasey1839]

I can't believe how long you've had Palmer! He's so sweet and I've loved seeing him grow up!

[@_ashleylh]

I really appreciate how you show us your "fails" as well as successes when trying DIYs or recipes. I meant to tell you that when I watched you making gingerbread houses this Christmas. As a person who struggles with perfectionism (I'm not sure if you do sometimes too), it is so nice to watch someone who promotes trying and practicing and still finding joy in the process and learning, even though the end product may not be perfect. So thank you very very much 🥰

[@Caley11]

Hey Allison, if you put the silver part of the wick on the bottom of the candle and use sticky tape or that tacky stuff to keep it still whilst you fill up the wax that should work. Thank you so much for sharing everything so kindly and happy valentine's day

[@ALISHAJPOOLE]

Happy Lovers Day💐💗 You bring so much love into our lives. Thank you :) also, happy adoption day to Palmer💝

[@jennahope4353]

💘 happy valentine's day everyone 💕 heart shaped double wall mug of cupid coco, austin texas chilly morning until it gets 70° and head to a safari!! then a premiere of DOG 🐕 tonight.... LOVE on all YOUR LOVES everyone!

HAPPY GOTCHA DAY PALMER 🤍

[@leahgillette7508]

Hi Allison! I would love if you did a kitchen favorites video and showed all your favorite kitchen gadgets, your adorable oven mitts, coffee stuff, or bake ware, or anything in your kitchen that you absolutely love! You have such a beautiful home!

[@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF]

Awh, thank you, Leah! Love that idea 🥰 I do have a kitchen tour that shares a lot of aspects if you’re interested in that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJ2vpoJ9gJl1atE 💫

[@Kty4419]

Palmer is just sooooooo adorable!❤️🥰he has the cutest face he’s just so so cute!❤️❤️❤️

[@ianibrown8103]

My parents use to make our dog a cake every year for his birthday 🎂 great memories! Happy Birthday Palmer!

[@laurawolford1459]

You are not alone in not reading the directions fully before starting to cook / bake. I do it all the time too. Lol 😆 Your cupcakes turned out really good though! You did great!!

[@lubkasklarsova9093]

When we have nice empty jars from candles we usually reuse them by putting scented tea candles in them. They lasts for 4-5 hours so you do not have to worry about falling asleep while they are burning. The ones from IKEA are my favorite.

[@claireminderhoud]

Happy Valentine everyone! ✨

[@malindashumpert7956]

Happy Valentine's Day, Allison! We hope that you, Brandon, and Palmer have a wonderful day 💕

[@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF]

Thank you so much! I hope you do too, Malinda 💕

[@BethanyRuby]

Whenever I see your videos pop up I have to stop what I'm doing! Hope you're having a lovely valentines day 💖

[@TheKaramel4]

Happy Love Day Allison! Look forward to watching. Have a wonderful day with B and Palmer 💕

[@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF]

Much much love 💕🥰

[@hollycooleynelson696]

You seem like such a genuinely kind, thoughtful person. How refreshing that is! I'm so glad to have found your KZbin videos.

[@judytombaugh2990]

I love how you are not afraid to try, experiment and try again. I almost bought that pig toy for our dog this weekend. 💜

[@lotuspetal5143]

Always find your vlogs so calming and enjoyable! Looks like Palmer quite enjoyed his birthday cupcakes ❤❤

[@jenniferpais6385]

Allison, happy Valentines day to you and your family! I feel so joyful watching every video of yours. I appreciate your authenticity and humility in your videos and find your experiences so inspirational. I have to ask, how do you stay so calm and poised when things go wrong? You do not react, rather you pause and reflect and assess the situation with calmness (ex: the candle wax thing :)) I applaud you for that!

[@xokelseyxo9238]

The pure joy and happiness you have for each holiday is forever inspiring. Watching you and your beautiful family celebrate 1 year of Palmer brought tears to my eyes. ❤️

[@simoneclarke5104]

Our little Rottweiler girl came into our life 2 years ago on Valentine’s Day! We are Canadians but we were in Phoenix Arizona on vacation and bought her from a breeder there, so we named her Phoenix 💖. So Valentine’s Day is double special for us🐾🐾🐾🐾

[@nicolabellucci8904]

OMG! I never see a beautiful house like yours!❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@HarryThomasPictures]

Happy Valentine's Day Allison, this vlog is made with pure love and Happy anniversary to the day Palmer became a member of the Bickerstaff fam🐶💗✨!

[@jucxox]

Happy Valentine’s my beautiful friends. 💋 🍫 xoxo

[@angelarobinson7072]

Happy Valentine’s Day Allison!! Keep spreading all of your joy and love 💕 Give Palmer a hug for me!!

[@flakyporccupine]

Hi Allison, regarding the hair charm, it is a hair pin, so it would work to pull up a bun or to pin into a bun. :) they are so cute!

[@khushiawasthi]

You give me life so grateful you post you video every week I didn't know how much I really need your company and precious spirit until I felt the joy and relief seeing your upload❤️💝

[@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF]

I'm so grateful YOU'RE here! 🥰

[@zuleika06]

Happy Valentine’s Day, Allison! Thanks for all the love and light you spread in this world 💕 you’re much appreciated

[@sarinairizarry536]

Happy Valentines Day!💕 Your video made me so happy. Your aura and spirit shows so much peace and that’s what I want to express this year💕

[@melaniegarcia8158]

Hi, I'm a small wax melt/ candle maker over on Etsy/ tiktok/ insta (cozy conductions) && that silver part goes on the bottom to help it stick. Another trick you can use it to just pour the wax into the mold and while its still curing stick the wick in and be sure to cut it 1/4 before burning to prevent and incidents. Also for fragrance you can get them on amazon! :) Have a happy valentines day!!

[@TheEmpressgoth]

The doggie treats too cool!

[@katiarabetokotany2294]

You can also place your jarred candles in a pot of water on the stove on low to melt the wax.

[@beautifullyimperfect9561]

Happy Valentine's Day! So excited to see a video. Love the cards lol too cute. Also the candle mold is super cute. Happy 1 year palmer!! Yay! About your outfit love both dresses with the hat..hope you had fun yesterday at the gathering. Xoxo God bless

[@ryanpegoraro2697]

Hi Allison love the valentines day prep video, happy valentines day.

[@amandaparsons7941]

Happy Valentine’s Day! I enjoyed this video so much, you’ve really inspired me to get into crafting again ❤️

[@aprilyeno1919]

Happy birthday 🎁🎉🎂 Everything was amazing!!!!

[@azangie1]

There is a waaaayy easier way to get wax out of candle jars!!!!! Pour boiling water in jar and let it cool completely. The wax melts and all goes to the top of the jar and once cold pops out in one wax piece!!!! ♥️

[@amandascott7702]

Lucky plamer they look amazing 🤩

[@dianebaker5243]

Your candle and heart cakes are cute. 👍🥰

They are very beautiful! Love your videos

[@FabiolaSuarez]

The perfect Valentine’s 🥰💗

[@jayciwallace8680]

I have some hair pins like the flower ones you have, and they work really well if your hair is up in a bun or like a half up half down twist they work really well with that too

[@tonihuss1607]

Happy Birthday Palmer !

[@stephanieaustin4999]

Always enjoy your videos! You always put a smile on my face. I think you have the wick upside down. The round metal circle is usually in the bottom of the candles I have. Hope this helps! Happy Valentines Day to you, Brandon, and Palmer. ❤

[@gabrielaymarpiscoyamundo9031]

I love you, you're one of my favorite youtubers

[@rachelcaitlinn]

love you Allison and happy valentine’s day! Something i do with my old candles is actually pour in hot water on top, and then the wax melts and it all goes to the top- leaving you with a little puck of wax! i learned this a couple years ago and it’s such a game changer

[@Honey-yp8lp]

You have created yourself the loveliest life and always create such beautiful things. Thank you for showing us life is beautiful and worth every second, especially when we choose to make it that way. Honestly that's for inspiring us all and choosing joy and love above all else x
