I love how aesthetic and relaxing your vlogs are. They truly bring me joy every time i watch them. I’m thankful for you Allison!

[@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF]

I'm so so glad the vlogs bring a bit of joy your way. 💛 I'm thankful for YOU! 🌼

[@carla71511]

Hello sweet Allison 🧡 your work is truly beautiful and sometimes when I have a bad day and feel unproductive I watch one of your videos and my happiness and productivity elevates to 100 💕 and I know that sometimes you must feel the same, but the fact that you still manage to create every single week inspiring content with a lovely smile in your face and full of kind words for us is so incredible and emotional at the same time. I truly wish you all the love and happiness that this world can give. You are special 💛 Thank you Allison 🌸

[@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF]

🥹💛 Carla! You are so beyond kind & generous with your words. Thank you for using your energy to spread your sweetness my way. I’m so thankful for your encouragement, truly. 🙏💕

[@lb4831]

The flowers are dyed! You can do it with a lot of different types of flowers, but basically you cut a bit of the stem and put it in a vase that has food coloring and water - then the flower will soak up the color.

[@vpagant]

Yep! worked in a flower shop many years & that's how we dyed lots of flowers & babies breath were a sold out al the time.

[@itsmckennaYT]

Yes, regular white can be died but the unicorn is grown naturally those colors.

[@BethanyRuby]

Exactly what I need after a day of work! The cake actually looks incredible

[@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF]

Ahhh thank you! Hope you have a relaxing rest of your day 💕

[@willothewispl]

Allison when you water your flowers try not to actually get water on the plants. You want to water them underneath at the soil top. Watering the leaves and flowers will cause them to get burnt in the sun as the water dries on the leaves.

[@heidihey9389]

You’re definitely the hostess with the mostest! Love your ideas and garden adventures. Have fun with your next project and perhaps we can all glean a little inspiration :).

[@Gaganpreeeeet]

Next time you make bruschetta, add a shmear of goat cheese on the bread before adding the topping! It is next.level 😍

[@lilmamma8787]

Such a great host! I love how you pour so much love and light into everything you do! The cake looked amazing, and that party spread looked divine! Hope you had a fun girls night!

[@rebeccascott2076]

The “oh no! Is that a good beetle or a bad beetle?!” made me chuckle!

[@lillianhernandez9879]

Omg Palmer is so cute ,hes just looking at the cake while you decorating it,hes like it's looks yummy I want some ,the cake came out so cute, can't wait to see your coffee video,I love coffee

[@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF]

We love our Palmer 💛 so excited to share the coffee video with you so soon!

[@dianebaker5243]

Loved what you showed us for the party the cake looked pretty. My husband put soapy water in a spray bottle to spray on his plants to get rid off insects. 👍🥰

[@baileytucker9423]

You radiate so much light and positivity! You really do seem like a such a sweet soul! Love watching your videos. 💛🌼🌞

[@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF]

Bailey! Thank you so so much. You are kind 💕🌞

[@Jodiwms1969]

Allison, you make life so fun and you are so creative and you think of others just like having your pajama party with your friends! Enjoy your evening with your friends and I look forward to seeing other videos, you are an inspiration to the younger generation of women to be creative and care for your friends and your devotion time is so peaceful to look at and you were soaking in God‘s word and then you’re sharing it withOthers through the way you care for people and serve others.

[@KelsVaughne]

Your office is stunning! ✨✨🌼🌼

[@marypospiech4918]

Hosting is the best! You’re doing all the right things. As someone who has hosted large events for several years the key is to not overwhelm yourself. You want to be part of the action and enjoy 🎀

[@meganthomas296]

I am so excited to watch this video! It is so inspiring to watch you and I always get so excited when you post! Thank you for everything you do on this channel! I love how you make everything so positive and cozy! You are truly one of the best KZbinrs!

[@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF]

Megan 💖 thank you so much for the encouragement & support 💫

[@sarahsheartshome]

do you think the colored baby's breath is the same concept as the dyed carnations? Do you remember as a kid you may have put white carnations in colored water and turned them different colors? I bet that's what they did with the baby's breath! It's SO pretty! and how fun was that party theme?! the cake was beautiful, the craft inspired, and just the whole spread looked so inviting!! I want a party now!

[@luanapontes971]

Always with the best way to capture the simple things in your day. That’s my favorite thing about u and ur channel 🤍☺️

[@buildinginmincraft212]

I love how aesthetically pleasing your vlogs are! You inspire me so much to enjoy the little things in life and I just love your videos so much ❤ Have a lovely day everyone!

[@avayurman9234]

I love the TJ’s flowers , the cake decorating hack and that Dutch door is what dreams are made of 💐🎂🌸🥰

[@gayathriiyer5207]

Your vlogs are so much fun 😊. As much as how uplifting and artistic they are you also tell us having fun is so much important too. I love your vlogs because I feel complete after watching them. My mind is clear and I am so calm and peaceful inside out. I think your energy and positive vibes are contagious too! Your vlogs are so realistic and it makes me feel like you are speaking to me personally through the vlog, like I am there with you. Thank you so much for these amazing vlogs Allison. You are one of a kind and truly a gem 💎. I am so glad to be a part of your KZbin family 🥰❤

[@oliviabrown599]

If you put white flowers in a cup of water with food dye the white petals will turn the color of the food dye after a few days

[@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF]

Oh, wow! 🌈🌸 I wonder if that’s what they did in this case

[@LeiV8]

Every time I get a notification that Allison has a new vlog, I get soooo excited! It’s the same feeling I used to have as a kid on Christmas morning 😂

[@meksu7385]

Thank you for being so consistent with your posting! I love getting the notification that you've posted something new. Sometimes when I feel stuck, your vlogs help pick me up!

[@nisdarula]

Love your videos so MUCHH! You’re so comforting and the energy here is truly special 🥰

[@SunshineBloom777]

You are such a sweet & gracious hostess! You always go above & beyond! It’s so loving, welcoming & comforting! 🤍🌱

[@DonnaFarias]

Ahhh Allison I loved this video!! & you're so sweet for doing this for your friend! I do have to suggest: there's so many fun and super yummy dairy free options at the store and it woulda been so cool to see a full menu of dairy free options for your friend and with maybe a few things with dairy for everything else. Just speaking from experience I can't have dairy at all and someone threw me a surprise party and I couldn't eat a single thing besides chicken and fruit! HOPE TO SEE MORE PARTY/HOSTING VIDEOS!

[@bristewart8669]

I hope you all have an amazing day ❤️We love you Allison and thanks for constantly uploading these gems for us to enjoy

[@theporcelainD011]

Wow. This is the earliest I've ever been. Luckily I just posted a video myself (I'm new here) and happened to already be online. You always start my days off so bright, as you are a literal ray of sunshine ☀️ Thanks for your positive inspiration, Allison ✨️

[@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF]

That is super kind. ✨ Thank you so much. ❤

[@suzan7161]

You always come up with the most creative fun projects. Would of loved to see how you decorated your slippers. Cant wait for you coffee video. Have a Blessed Day 🙏💗

[@vanessawrubleski3389]

So anything that you planted as seeds needs to be watered pretty much daily and kept moist to encourage the root growth and help the roots and first leaves pop out of the seed shell. Especially for carrots! It could just be the lighting, but all of your sprouts looked really pale, and that indicates they aren't getting enough water and are dying back. Also, sunflowers get huge and grow massive root systems, watch out, they could wreck your raised beds.

[@HarryThomasPictures]

Allison you are Trader Joe's sweetest customer lots of tasty treats there🤩. Your vlog made my day a wonderful one. So happy to see your lovely channel growing💗✨!

[@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF]

Thank you, sweetest Harry! 💗 You always say the loveliest words of encouragement. I'm thankful for you! ✨

[@aldi_agus]

The cake ended up looking so cute 😍

[@jademartinez5548]

Your videos always motivate me to be productive ❤️❤️❤️love you

[@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF]

Much love to you, Jade! ❤

[@aileenbell6750]

Cilantro grows better in the cool season here in the Southern US. That will be a good one for your Fall garden. Can’t wait to see what you do with your peppers!! I have not had luck with my bell peppers, but yours look awesome. 💪 What a fun party.

[@imkristinamarie]

Your cake came out adorable!

[@hollycooleynelson696]

Years ago, I worked at a florist shop. At that time, flowers were placed in water with food coloring. The flowers would then "drink up" the colored water which would, in turn, color the flower petals. I don't know if this is how it is still done, as that was the early nineties. Loved how you decorated the cake--very cute!!!

[@alexandrina525]

So cute! Love watching your videos 🤗 as for the flowers they’re most likely soaking up water that has a bit of food coloring. 🤗

[@sarahcinderellabeth]

The brown on the cilantro might be from too much water on the leaves, pick off the brown leaves then try watering at the base of the plant instead of overhead. Your garden looks beautiful for your first! You’re doing a good job. ❤️

[@tiffanyrogersfeuer1914]

The Trader Joes flowers are dyed! I bought the same ones and asked when I was there recently :)

[@brietoujours1343]

You're such a good hostess...everything is so cute and the food, including that chunky salsa looks delicious. I feel like when I try to make things based off the example it's never exactly the same either. this is sort of a late response to the latte in another video. As an ex-barista to get a nice foam, I'm going to try and explain in writing what I only know how to explain in person lol. hold the steamer wand at the surface of the drink you'll hear a hissing sound, bring it lower and it should just stay as a slight hissing sound. Have the cup tilted at an angle. When it is at temp or the cup is too hot to touch, turn it off and you should have a nice milk/foam for latte art. If my explanation is off, I'm sure you've already looked up videos but a video explaining in detail would probably be easier. I just saw a cool and easy latte art in a video. You can make little hearts in your coffee but putting 3 drops of foam and then running a toothpick down the center of the dots to turn them into hearts.

[@CrystalChristianStore]

I love your videos and your decoration😍

[@adrianasued]

I love your videos Allison!

[@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF]

I’m so glad you enjoy them, Adriana! 🌼

Good morning Allison happy Thursday morning and I just wanted to say that you are sweetheart and I loved your channel always because you are amazing Supporter I'm proud of you

[@emilyl7761]

The birthday banner is massive! :) It would be lovely to see you craft a reusable one on your cutting machine in paper or fabric! You are very creative x lovely video

You prepared a beautiful spread🤩

[@BairsbooksASMR]

Hey there! In love with your blogs & the mood they set! Where are all your rings and jewelry from? 💛

[@lorenenoe4472]

To encourage colors in your flowers, put food coloring in the water, works very well with daisies!

[@JuliaReginaXavier]

The flowers are called brudeslør in Norwegian, which in English means wedding veil. They are naturally white. The coloured ones are dipped in colour

[@debbrajsligar]

I loved the cake how sweet to make things so special & yummy! I'm needing to know where you got that fingernail polish? So fun & sparkly like your personality 😘

[@lisalopez5078]

OMG love the Sweet Lorens deliciousness !!!

[@lydiaasaad8370]

Please do a vlog of the party!

[@valeriadelrio-rodriguez4953]

I just finished watching ur Disney vid ❤❤

[@annaconti5218]

Hey! I have a question. Do you have anything in the bottom of your plant boxes to keep the wood from rotting? I love them and want some, but I was curious about their long term survival. 🙂I also am starting a garden! 🌻

[@mariaembrey6590]

Hi Allison! You can change the color of baby’s breath by putting food color in the vase’s water 😀

[@rebeccarendle3706]

Daisies are good, you can eat them to.. The flowers have potassium and Vit A, the leaves Vit C.. And they are just as cute as Camille flowers. You should put some blueberries, red currents, black currents, gooseberries, raspberries, strawberries, in your garden (eg in the beds around the house and garage walls). They are so easy to look after😊. They grow quick and give so much fruit. I have a tiny garden (way smaller than yours) and have all of them. I also have a cherry tree, apple tree and pear tree, grape vines, and herb garden. I planted it all 9yrs ago when we bought our house.. They give so much fruit.. Except the pear tree.. That takes years.. . Although this year it looks like we will get 30-40🙂.

[@munajedski]

I tried to find those flowers from TJ. My TJ had a different variety, I didn't like them as much. I'll have to check again next time. 💐

[@debbiegordon7622]

You can add baby's breath to different glasses and add food coloring of your choice with water..I used to do this in school for mother's day way back in the day.. I just love your videos and look forward when I see a notification..

[@pretty.homemaking]

You're the best❤

[@anitaworking8033]

ALLISON..YOU ARE THE GIRL DISNEY💗💗💗 ANA🔆

[@tsiotsio6411]

so what design did you end up making for your spa slippers? i am just curious to see how it turned out, and i hope you can share a glimpse of it with us. thanks

[@jenniferdoyle3858]

I think the unicorn baby's breath flowers are colored by putting in food coloured water - the flowers draw up the color...

[@briancagordon2308]

I love the Alexia brand sweet potato fries. They’re the best ones I’ve had so far. I believe the last time I bought them was either Walmart or the 99 cents store 🤔

[@jennahope4353]

good rainy morning... Happy Cinco De Mayo 🍸 que dios te siga bendiciendo!

[@tricia811]

I look forward to seeing your videos for my relaxation while I take my lunch break-they are a perfect getaway!! If you but white baby's breath and put the stems in water with food coloring; it will change the color!😊

[@dianaantal7356]

Daisies are edible and medicinal. I would double check the variety you have, but you can eat common daisies. The cake turned out so beautifully.

[@saraatppkdotpt8140]

Really cool video!

[@TheONeillFamilyOriginal]

you inspire us to wont to do better 👍👍

[@farmhouseweddinghomedecor6592]

Love the glass cups with the gold floral accents! Do you have a link for these? 😍 and I absolutely love your vids. I’d love to collab sometime!

[@robbo3132]

I think they put the white flowers in dyed water, and it colors the petals (could be wrong)

[@taylorwigglesworth2762]

Loved this video! You seem like the sweetest friend and best host :) Also, your hair looks amazing!!! What curling iron do you use?!!?

[@cynthiatorres6545]

You need this balloon blower upper 😬 sold on Amazon . Not expensive and soooooo useful.
