blonde refresh, skims valentines pieces + trying viral tiktok makeup | vlog

[@sam_vp]

In decor terms, empty space allows your eye to rest. It’s a good thing

[@best_life_becca]

Yes!! Not every space needs to be filled. ♡

[@hannahlyse]

You HAVE to double cleanse. Especially with acne prone skin and makeup wear. 1st cleanse to remove makeup, 2nd cleanse to thoroughly cleanse off the makeup remover and any excess!

[@heather8361]

That creamy white vase near the end of your vlog would be so cute filled with paintbrushes -

[@ozzylovesyou]

The vase reminds me of a bong 🙈

[@ladydiane7390]

@ Alex the cleansers you use require WATER “Rinse well with warm water. Pat dry.” ❤ you will get better results and less breakouts

[@arielle1116]

Yes! I also love the Clinique balm, but you need a good rinse to get it all off. No shade, just constructive feedback.

[@nicolepelzman4094]

Is it possible your skin is always breaking out because you use so many different things and so many products? My daughter was having the same issue and we cut back her routine and it really helped. Like back to basics and clean products

[@stephanieremsen8564]

I hope you were being facetious when you said you were exhausted from getting your hair done. I’m a 49 year old, full-time working preschool therapist. I’m also a single mom of teenaged boys, so all of the household duties are mine as well. And most days I fall short of “exhausted.” If sitting in a chair drains you, I would be really concerned that something else is at play. I know that sounds snarky, but I mean it pretty seriously. Kids drain sleep and energy like nobody’s business. If you’re having energy issues now, best to get it checked out before.

[@courtneytucker5665]

Y’all are so snarky to Alex ☹️ she will be a great mom.

[@AbbyBlume]

You sound like you need a therapist.. you overloading your life does not mean that other people can’t be tired….

[@darkhairedbeauty2382]

As an alleged “preschool therapist” (would love to see your credentials behind this) you should know better. Minimizing someone else’s experience? Invalidating someone because of your own mishaps/poor decisions/ poor time management skills? Def shouldn’t be in the classroom and shouldn’t be a “therapist”. that’s what’s wrong with many therapists today. They want to dump their trauma on their clients, talk about themselves and not actually empower client to identify a solution.

[@stephanieremsen8564]

@@AbbyBlume well aren’t you a peach. I don’t recall insulting anyone, but apparently you aren’t concerned with stooping to that level. If you like someone, don’t you want the best for them? If my RL friend told me she was exhausted from a trip to the hair salon, I’d be concerned. Sometimes I think that Alex’s followers have a difficult time differentiating concern and criticism. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@stephanieremsen8564]

@@darkhairedbeauty2382 I’m not that kind of therapist. But I AM the kind with a master’s degree, state license, and certification from the governing body for my particular area of expertise. As for time management, I run a household and work a full time job, so I’d say I’ve got things pretty well handled. I do encourage YOU to consider why you feel the need to respond so nastily to a complete stranger. Also, consider this. If you had a friend in your real life who expressed being overwhelmed, exhausted and stressed over things that the vast majority of people take in stride, would you be concerned? If not, I question how much you care for your friends. Just something to think about.

[@stephanieb2820]

For the Color science.. I have both light and the medium one. The medium does more of the color you’re looking for. The light one seems to just be a slight wash of color and not really giving “foundation”. Also the medium is not dark so I would try it!

[@smlskeletal]

I actually love these low key "boring" vlogs because I love watching you for your personality. It was really nice/refreshing to hear you say that you were living life off camera and weren't vlogging things because i think that's so important and gets missed with a lot of vloggers. Truly love all your vlogs :)

[@susiecollins9796]

Love this makeup look!! Probably my favorite.

[@emiliejean777]

I recommend picking up reading more! It’s so good to have a more brain engaging nighttime hobby rather than just passively watching tv. It’s super accessible too - get a library card and take books out. You can start by reducing screen time by a few hours a week and pick up a book instead. I started doing 30 minutes a night and now sometimes I’ll do 2-3 hours and don’t even turn the tv on

[@AlexandraIreneRodriguez]

Oh yes I just got a new book!! 🥰

[@emiliejean777]

@@AlexandraIreneRodriguez so exciting! Give the ACOTAR series a try too 🧚‍♀️ it’s so enchanting

[@AllyKayCrochet]

YES ACOTAR!!!

[@Raisin9502]

Yes!!!! I read over 100 books a year. I’m 67 and we have no cable just antenna. We’re on SS and my school board retirement check. I’m not paying that much for cable. Hubby can hardly use a remote not tech savvy at all. Not worth the hassle. We KZbin and I read during the day. I use Libby, Netgalley (free books) library. I have great skin at my age I know I’m lucky. Never a smoker and always since about 14 VERY BIG INTO SKIN CARE…never acne. I’m lucky I know.

[@sherriedavis9754]

Alexandra, just some FYI from a person who has ADD one of the reason some people stay away from dye colors in food. It’s not good for people with ADD. The colors are Red #40 blue #2 and yellow #5 and #6 the unfortunate part about these colors they are not only in food they’re in deodorant and other products that we use.💜💖🥰💜💖💄💋🥰👍🏽

[@allexmatuszek1186]

That nude brown lip looks SO GOOD ON YOU SIS! Stunning as always 🩷

[@kkaayyllaaf]

What size do you get in the skims sets? I always hear they run small!

[@katz734]

When I can’t watch you in the morning, it’s so relaxing to watch you after a very long day at work. Your hair looks fantastic. I didn’t get any valentine jammies, I got the valentine pink sweatpants, shorts and sweatshirt. I love how comfy and soft they are. Can’t wait to see you and your mom on the next vlog. 😄

[@avavav1]

I could never crawl into bed before 11pm makes me feel I'm wasting hours of the day

[@annieh1938]

Sure but what time are you waking up in the morning? I love a girl early to bed, early to rise! 😊

[@avavav1]

@annieh1938 I generally wake up 6:30am for work on weekdays

[@mmidnight77]

You legit look like Tammy Slaton!

Im curious why you drag pronouncing your T in the end. like "out" you say "outchhhh" "great" "greatchhh"

[@mjuarez4440]

I give you props you must take a lot of control For you not to mess with your nose as much as you probably do Off camera, I've seen your horrific lives and how much you mess with your nose. You did it right now.... Also I know nobody else knows but I know. It's the filters working overtime on your face and dime Probably paid you really well for be your promotion. So you're actually committing to promoting them

[@monicagulden1296]

On your kitchen window ledge you already have a pot with greenery in it, so adding another one would be overkill. How about bring that one down next to that picture and see how it looks. Sometimes less is more.

I love this hair color.

Do you shower every night ? You make it sound like you only shower in the morning regardless how your day went. Don't mean this in a bad way.

[@mjuarez4440]

Be happy she showers at all She has thin non ethnic short hair and she washes it once every seven days To me that says a lot

[@ElizabethP1981]

I only shower once a day... Many doctors say a daily shower is fine for most people. More than that could start to cause skin problems. But for many people, two to three times a week is enough and may be even better to maintain good health. It depends in part on your lifestyle.

[@ElizabethP1981]

@mjuarez4440 it's not good to wash your hair every day no matter what the texture is.

[@SueB402]

Hi Alex! I’m glad the Dime Beauty skincare products are working for you. I’ve been using them for a while because I have several skin allergies and sensitivities and these have been a saving grace for me. Their tinted sunscreen is great also. My older daughter also uses their products and is very happy with them as well. Happy Sunday 🫶🏻

I love watching your videos, but the level of consumerism is a lot. It’s very wasteful to always be buying new all the time. How much stuff does one person need?

[@FoxGirl006]

Well it is part of her job to buy things and suggest items to us... and a lot of stuff she doesn't use she sells or donates.

[@nicoleN1993]

She still uses it and enjoys it. Worry about yourself

[@best_life_becca]

As much as she wants! ❤

[@eleanorwing6892]

It's her job, Shes a content creator/Influencer. She could gate keep, but she doesn't. She buys products and tells us what's good, what to buy, and what not to waste money on.

[@the_real_margotsloan5244]

I undertake her job… but you can be an influencer without buying all the time. Someone doesn’t need to do a haul every video. And not to mention that the brands she shares are all fast fashion and not sustainable. Maybe google the damage that fast fashion has on the planet.

[@nicoleN1993]

The mundane life is so underrated these days! Like it’s so much more calm and peaceful and drama free when you have a laid back very homebody life.

[@LadyDianaBarnes]

Hello Alexandra! Just a quick question that maybe you or someone else can answer. Why do you pat your toner on your face with your fingers? I thought the purpose of toner was to remove the impurities from your skin and clean your pores. I think you were a cosmetologist or were going to be one, maybe there's a reason to pat it on versus using a cotton pad. Thank you! 😃

[@AlexandraIreneRodriguez]

Good question! I’ve seen people say you can apply it with your hands or a cotton pad so I’m assuming it works as well either way! It may depend on your formula of toner too? I’m not a skincare professional though so I’m not totally sure! ❤

[@neeatsa]

Patting helps the toner penetrate into your skin while wiping will get rid of excess oil and dirt it just depends on what you’re trying to accomplish/your skin type
