ANSWERING YOUR JUICY QUESTIONS | VLOGMAS DAY 19

[@Gigi-fv9ky]

My person never came. I was traveling a lot for work and I also just kept thinking it would happen so I didn’t put extra effort into it. One of the 2 biggest regrets of my life. The second was waiting so long for my person that when I decided to have a baby alone, it was too late for that as well. I can’t overstate the grief and loneliness of not having a family and even though I am much older than you, that grief has never lessened. So my 2 cents for those who want a family is to make it your number one priority because time is not infinite. ❤

“Life is short… CELEBRATE IT.” Seriously, words to live by!

[@caseyfinnegan4139]

Yesss, everyone was sick near me as well, half of it was Covid and the other half was flu!

[@meggy12693]

I think the whole gender reveal thing got some backlash because there was a couple that started like a forest fire or something. I’m not totally sure but I think that is why.

[@AlexandraIreneRodriguez]

Oh gosh that’s horrible!

[@missSunflower20]

Come on now, you know those weren’t juicy question. That was messed up….

[@JeepnJ89]

Your laziness is mind blowing. A slight sniffle and your write the whole day off?

[@julieanne8906]

Has yar been tested for low sperm count? It’s not always the woman 😊

[@meagan_g]

Man I was really hoping for some juicy questions lol

[@wandamckenzie722]

Even when you don't feel good, you're a ray of sunshine for us! Thank you for your dedication to Vlogmas. We appreciate your hard work. You bring kindness to stressful days

[@AlexandraIreneRodriguez]

Thank you 🥹❤️

[@sydneyconnaghan3095]

I can’t explain how much your videos bring me peace and serenity. I don’t look forward to a lot of things these days but your videos are something that keep me going 🫶🏻 ily

[@heather8361]

Your Mom spritzing Magic Spray is So wonderful! That is 1 of the coolest and most thoughtful things I have heard of!

[@feliciaruffini6363]

Yar: "ROCK ON!"😂 That made me laugh. Feel better you guys! Merry Christmas!

[@SilentSoulWhisper]

Same 😂

[@marielyramos9628]

Same here lol

[@lifeafterbypass6929]

The picture above the bed is sending my OCD off the deep end 🫠🫣🤣

[@truthinthefaceoftyranny]

thanks for that, now I can't unsee that.

[@AlexandraIreneRodriguez]

It’s the angle of the camera 😂 I’m sorry !

[@portiabougie4828]

Thank you Alex for continuing Vlogmas.. so many other content creators would just go MIA & make the excuse of being too sick .. your dedication is so admirable ..

[@Rose-yd7bn]

My husband tested negative 3 tests for Covid and then positive on the fourth test…. He got a PRC test on the same day and he was positive for Covid… he started out with scratchy throat and runny nose…. He is on day four and he just feels like he has a head cold… I have been testing negative… I feel like I am on the verge of baby cold…. Alex there is lab in Watertown Ma. that does 1 hour PCR tests. That is where my husband went. We had a great experience! Feel better! 💕💕💕

[@terrierodriguez3355]

Alex is the real MVP… still continuing vlogmas while sick! I would have been like.. guys sorry but I feel like crap vlogmas will resume in a few days. Much appreciated Alex ✊ Also, hear me out. Yar should take over the vlog channel one day. I’m curious to see his side of things lol

[@annielukey1787]

What are the steamies

[@shaylajacquelyn]

Idk if like if forcing a centuries worth of gender pressure on your child starting in the womb is really something to celebrate..? But like that’s just me. I don’t leave hate comments abt it or anything but I do believe in looking on constructs like this in a critical light.

[@juliataylor4820]

I love hearing of all the traditions your mom did with you as a kid for Christmas. Makes me so excited to be a mom some day and to watch you become a mom❤

[@goldenpidge]

hi alex i hope you feel better soon!! you could do a christmas movie tier list as a part of vlogmas or any kind of tier list! i always think those kinds of videos are fun :) also i think the issue with gender reveals is people keep doing more excessive ans crazy things for them which have caused forest fires and even deaths from things backfiring. theres also videos of one of the parents freaking out after finding out the baby is not the gender they wanted. and then some people just don't like the idea of focusing on the gender at all. personally i don't think a little party is bad but some things have been a little excessive lol

[@hannahcheyenne5812]

Work has been beyond stressful lately and my life has been upside down. Thank you, for the vlogmas content to get my days started on a happy note🥲💚❤️

[@Labarbie1224]

Well wishes for you all to get better soon! Have you looked into sinus rinses? I get a sinus infection twice a year and can no longer take antibiotics, but 2 days after flushing off and on all day I feel soooooo much better and immediately less congested. It will be hard to do and first but then get better and better.

[@rhoadestraveled]

Hi I'm new here. I'm curious what bariatric surgery you had. How much was your total loss? Your makeup is so beautiful!

[@lisaharward2572]

I think keep the wreath as is for Christmas, but spray paint it gold for New Years! So cute!

[@reddog40]

You are awesome Alex, I don't know how you have the energy to vlog !That soup is so yummy I've been on a kick with that and grilled cheese for the last two weeks 😆 I hope you and Yar get better soon and thank you for vlogmas during your time of not feeling well.🙏🕊️💚🎄

[@madbeautiful3]

Everyone totally is sick! I tested everyday of my sickness and it was never covid. But definitely took a full 7 days to finally get energy back! Now just a little tiny cough lingering. Don’t let people scare you…. You and Yar definitely appear just to have a cold!

[@momma.jess_]

Do you have a code with Alani I can use?

[@bethanyrose9026]

This last half of year has been so busy and I’ve just not been in a Christmas mood at all which is unusual for me. So I’m thankful for your videos. It’s my daily dose of Christmas ❤

[@christineroche7744]

Binge watching your Vlogmas episodes on 12/31/23 because I couldn’t watch them all before Christmas and now I’m sick with Covid so I have the time. Love all your content and looking forward to more vlogs in 2024!

[@lifebeautyandfamily]

My brother recently passed away a couple weeks ago and then our whole family got the flu. Your Vlogmas has brought joy to us through this tough time Alex! Thank you and Merry Christmas 🎄🎁

[@Sventi3]

So sorry about the passing of your brother 😔

[@michellethompson34]

Sending prayers 🙏🙏 that y'all get to feeling better soon. It not only sucks being sick but being sick this time of year. Have a blessed week 💜💜💜

[@Luxx24]

About the criticism gender reveal parties get: I think it's about the excessive focus on gender. What if it turns out later in life that person realizes they're non-binary or trans? We can't know how that person will identify when they're a bit older. Just because they're born biologically male or female, it doesn't tell us anything about how that person identifies. Just explaining why I think they're controversial, I'm certainly not an expert! Loving Vlogmas!!! Like so many others have said, it really helps me get in the Christmas spirit. ❤ Thank you, Alex!

[@LaurenE2689]

you guys should try true blood next. I watched it for the first time finally this year and LOVED it. Feel better!!

[@Gigi-fv9ky]

The books are even better than the show.

[@mercedes_sparkles11]

I hope yall feel better soon! I just had Covid for about a week, didn’t test positive right away. My mom was also super sick, had super sore throat, runny nose, and fatigue and didn’t ever test positive for Covid, it was just something viral.

[@shikuchan7316]

Hope you guys feel better soon. When I get sick I take theraflu. It really helps with body aches. And overall feeling better. I like the night time packets you put in the microwave and drink.

[@janeebert4538]

Prayers for you to feel better by Christmas ❤❤

[@tatianadutchin4777]

first time sitting through someone's Q&A, and I did not regret one second of it! Alex, you are truly amazing, and you work very well with cameras! Keep doing your thing! ☺

[@claudialegault6937]

I had a cold for a month it just kept traveling from head to chest .I thought it was getting better then it cane back full force. Still have a cough .

[@ThatSweetT]

I’m so sorry that you’re sick during the holidays. I remember being sick in a 2020 with Covid before we were able to get vaccines. My whole family had it. It was horrible. 😰 praying you and Yarman get better soon so you can enjoy your Christmas together 🙏🏾

[@paigecardiel5481]

I live for watching your blogs every morning! I hope you all feel better so soon! Can’t wait until you can have caffeine again & make your morning coffee! 😋😊

[@diamond_wild]

Alex I cut my hair! You inspired me and I did it. A cute little little short bob. I feel so free. My whole family was like… don’t cut it mom. I just sent them a picture with my new cut. They love it. I did it for me… and because you inspired me. Thank you and Merry Christmas 🎄

[@susan5301]

Prayers for a speedy recovery! Feel better soon! ♥

[@mccontreras6987]

Is your hubby's family festive 🥳meaning when they get together is there lots of dancing💃 and singing 🎙🎤...have you ever asked them if they wouldn't mind being in you vlogs once in awhile or do you think they wouldn't and shy to ask

[@CristineAnderson]

I’ve been sick since two weekends ago! Ugh I hope you feel better soon!

[@jaimeces4090]

I hope you’re both better in time for Christmas 🎄 sending prayers

[@ea144]

I was sick for a whole month! Hope you get better fast!!

[@marthainsalaco9266]

Hoping that you and Yar start to feel better 🙏Your vlogs are never Boring Girl …Merry Christmas 🎄⛄️🎁🤶

[@imacurlygirl]

Alex, you can use waze from your phone and play it through the radio on your Tesla. You just have to put your setting on Bluetooth. The only problem is you will only get the auditory directions. You would still have to look at your phone to see the map. I use it once in a while that way. We have 2 Tesla's! Feel better soon.

[@lulu2113]

Can you have Yar give you a list of his favorite tech products for 2023?

[@Cpana65]

I think you’d like Genie on peacock. Good new Christmas movie.

[@sharonhayes65]

You're amazing Alex. Take time for yourself and rest. You push so hard!!!❤

[@AnnV918]

I’m definitely sick, for over a week now, finally feeling well enough to make hours of cookies.

[@nickdixon8373]

Who would watch this shit?

[@jbell9179]

So why are YOU watching if you feel that way?

[@nickdixon8373]

Because its like watching a car crash@@jbell9179

[@nickdixon8373]

that lies alot

[@staceystopshopping]

Where are the santa baby earrings?! Didja forget about them? Loving all of your vlogs. I will miss vlogmas once it's over. It comes and goes so fast 😔 I hope you and Yar are feeling your best before Christmas!!

[@funtimes3962]

Can you talk more about your mental health journey?

[@yolondajarrett5687]

I really appreciate you for continuing to vlog for us during your sickness….. I pray that you get well soon💐

[@haleymarie747]

Hope you start to feel better soon!! Still loving the content & your effort is appreciated as life is so much harder when you’re sick! Thanks for sharing!! Also, you inspired me to watch game of thrones and I absolutely loved it!!

[@teresamaria5804]

Alex, you mentioned you wanted to read more as a goal, I recommend the Outlander series. Also, baking shows to watch the best is The Great British Baking Show.

[@allycatwild]

Hipe you guys feel better! I just became sick today...sucks cause I have so much to do for christmas. Hoping this doesn't last long. I have kids and a household to take care of! Ugh

[@ogodthe]

I went to urgent care yesterday, they have a new test that tests for Covid, RSV and influenza a and b at once with results in 30 minutes. Turns out I have influenza a😭 today has been the worst day yet, hope you feel better but you might want to get it checked just in case!

[@ashleylane1xo]

We had Covid on Christmas 2020 and we absolutely hated it. Being sick over the holidays is no fun. I hope you both get better soon!

[@MandyCPierce]

I had Covid last Christmas, I was in bed for 3 days straight. I got up and sat across the room from my kids to watch them open gifts and then went straight back to bed. It was miserable! The day after Christmas they started with symptoms. Absolutely miserable!! My husband never got it, or never had a single symptom if he did have it.

[@kristymarie6065]

Covid sucks. I been sick since Saturday. Hope you feel better Alex

[@brittanyhaunschild]

I'm happy you want to do a gender reveal. That vlog will be so fun one day. 🎉😊💗🩵

[@stephaniejeffrey3556]

To anyone trying to get pregnant, please look into fertility acupuncture. I’ve been in your shoes, frustrated from trying to convince. I know so many women, including myself, whoever had great success getting pregnant with acupuncture. My thoughts are with you! ❤

[@jennyhatton1114]

With Covid in early November- I was sick for two weeks and then better for a few days and got rebound covid where I was sick for another week. It’s been an awful experience! Lol

[@MayaSalazar5]

The movie Just Friends is a literal classic!!

[@gabriellepaffumi6793]

Have you watched Klaus yet? It’s such a good Christmas movie! 😭❤️

[@tiffanyb5808]

I just love you! You’re such a hard worker. You don’t feel good and still manage to put out video after video. Thanks for all you for us. 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

[@mariaolker]

Don't forget, last holiday with Queen latifah. I think not many people know about that one but I like it.

[@tracymontgomery1266]

I e been sick going on week 3 now and my doctor said I have Covid with secondary pneumonia. So definitely get the rest your body craves and drink tons of water. I ended up needing a Z pack so stay on top of it

[@kaybee846]

You and Yar HAVE TO watch ‘Nothing Like the Holidays’!!

[@lotusflores]

[@samanthamarshall-fox2397]

Put almost Christmas on your movie list, I always have it on while I’m wrapping 😊 Feel better soon, it’s horrible feeling ill. Thanks for all the vlogs, you’re all I’m watching this vlogmas xx

[@Gigi-fv9ky]

I like to put pimento cheese in my grilled cheese. I buy it at Trader Joe’s. I also use sharp cheddar and put some on the outside to crisp up.

[@stupiid13]

❤ sensing love and healing vibes. Love watching even when your sick

[@695DARNELL]

Surviving Christmas is a funny Ben Aflec movie!

[@karenkinyone613]

We have been sick for weeks ! Still sick but at work ! We didn’t have Covid either ! But Ty for still doing Vlogmas while your sick I appreciate it 🎅🎄🎅🎅🎄🎅

[@hannah1052]

Whatever you have, it sounds like what I have.. i’m going on week 4 😐I’m living my life like normal (with way less energy) but the cough is brutal.

[@britt9355]

My husband and I watch Downton Abbey every Christmas/winter time. It’s such a cozy time. Hope you and Yar feel better asap so that you can enjoy the rest of your Christmas festivities.

[@marysolberg4683]

The Man who Invented Christmas... Very good movie!

[@S.a.v.y]

Hope you two have a speedy recovery!! Seems like everyone is getting sick right now. Thank you for continuing the vlogs even when sick, you don’t have to of course but it’s so appreciated. 🎄❤️

[@michellelowe8549]

Hope you feel better soon you guys, merry Christmas

[@jessicavilla9187]

I live in Idaho and Covid and the flu is what’s going around here

[@mariaolker]

Roasted red pepper and tomato soup from trader Joe's is delicious. You 😊should try that one.

[@andreabrown2805]

Came to say the same! Its elite tomato soup!

[@honeybear12513]

I'm not sure if it's meant to be that way, but the artwork behind you being lopsided has made my OCD tendencies go insane hahaha.

[@shannonemerick7532]

Sending you all the healthy vibes! I would totally embrace the cozy movie time.

[@jaredpaigelisk2867]

I can’t believe you’ve never watched Holiday Baking Championship!!! It is one of my biggest joys of the season!!!(Halloween Baking Championship too)

[@BriDupre]

the holidate was such a good movie! also, rsv is going around maybe look into that if you're still not feeling well.

[@funnysunnybunny]

I love what you said about how confident you feel about your marriage. I totally feel that through the screen! I love you guys‘ dynamic and I really feel like you guys found each other. Jar seems like an amazing husband and his love for you really shows, I’ve been thinking that almost everytime he’s in a video. Y’all gonna make great parents ❤️ just had to say that 🙂

[@emmie.amistrongyet3502]

[@poshinoyaa]

You and Yar make my little heart poop its pants 💖 so wholesome

[@rainnysmith]

❤ I love your relationship with your mom ❤ you can telll the wove is there.

[@autumnhazel6152]

I was sad when Javier left he was amazing and not thrilled when that person won(won't spoil anymore)

[@AnnV918]

Alex, gender reveals aren’t good because just because your child has “parts” of a certain gender, your child may not feel like they are that certain gender later in life. Many a LGBTQIA+ have had to suffer at the hands of people who require them to “be” that “certain gender” instead of embracing who they ACTUALLY are. That is why gender reveal parties are so very cringe and so last century. It’s a very closed minded way of bringing a new life into the world. 21:24

[@PNWShanaLee]

Alex, if you have an albuterol inhaler that will help open your airways and keep your oxygen up and also to cough up any ick down in there. I hope you are feeling a little better, remember try not to cough and pee at once! 😂😂😂

[@jackies6354]

I second the TTC comment! My husband and I are a little older than you, have been trying for almost a year, and have had the harsh reality it’s NOT easy. It’s such an emotional experience, especially around this time ❤

[@random_birb_qween]

Re: gender reveal issues - Because not everyone is the gender they were assigned at birth, so the tradition is a little outdated in the current climate. Also, it reinforces gender stereotypes and puts pressure on people to conform to the gender binary.

[@sbg1911]

On top of that, it's in low taste and they set at least 2 fires out here with some kind of firework

[@nikkihamilton8951]

I was praying for you and rest of your family around sickness and speedy recovery from your sickness

[@thinksoybean]

I love your vlogs and looking forward to day 20 😊

[@CrystalLynnBeauty]

Hope you get feeling better ❤

[@DarleneWhite]

Have you all watched the Gran Terno on Netflix yet!
