I’m very impressed by your handiwork skills! Grouting and floor laying isn’t easy. Very cool that you really work on your house. 👏🏼

[@WeronikaPogorzelska]

Your videos never fail to make my day better. There’s such an incredible, calming aura to them. Thank you for being an inspiration and soothing my eyes with wonderful aesthetics. Hope everything goes to plan with your house move! I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you haha

[@inbrightonwithlill4271]

Congratulations to both you and Dean. You’ve done an amazing job with both house’s. Can tell this is bringing you such joy and happiness in all the details. I’m so glad you vlogged, true pleasure to watch. Love your design choices wonderful inspo & great taste. x

[@inbrightonwithlill4271]

Would it be possible to link household items going forward? Know your super busy so only if it’s really easy to do. I like the toilet mine currently needs replacing so perfect timing and tiles are beautiful too. x

[@ftis2588]

Your house is looking amazing already. Truly since I’ve turned 30, reno content is extremely my shit lool. Can’t wait to see the bookshelves go up, and excited for your future kitchen reno. Best of luck!

[@PinkAtlas]

Invisalign tip from someone on the tail end of it....if you take off your trays a few (20-30) minutes before your meal, it gives your teeth some time to de-sensitize a little. Has helped me a ton when I want to enjoy something crunchy or chewy ! Once in a while, I take them off a full hour before (sorry to my ortho). Rice, beans, and avocado are my best soft food friends ! But also, the sensitivity reduces a ton as your teeth get closer to the finish line : )

[@BUMOKA]

I love the reno content so much! 🫶🏻 We are renovating our house ourselves too and it is such a good inspiration to watch your videos. Lots of love from Germany!

[@alifeinspiredd]

Concerning Sicily, I'd wholeheartedly recommend Enna. It's the highest situated city in Sicily, so the views and the city itself are stunning!

[@mariawaldock5613]

We just moved into our new house, and there have also been tedious jobs as well. I put on an audio book or podcast, and it makes it so much more enjoyable. Our motto has been small victories, especially when everything feels so daughting. Hope the move goes well for you.

[@seyloris]

invisalign - it will get better! I just finished my invisalign which lasted a year and a half. the first week was super painful and I also could barely eat! The first two days I cancelled all my plans and just laid at home because it was so painful. Your teeth will adjust and this will not happen each time you do a new tray! It's the pains of your teeth moving for the first time. Once they are in-motion, it won't be as painful.

[@lisadelb]

Sooo excited to continue to watch these and see how the house progresses!

[@Sophi0810]

Whichever car you will be driving around with in Sicily, my number one tip is to never leave any valuables in the car and always leave the empty glove box open for everyone to see. My italian friend told me he actually doesn‘t even lock his car at all. Otherwise they break in and look for things, happened to our rental car twice.

[@taylahgolden]

I remember when I first got my invisalign being so uncomfortable, both with sensitivity and pain, but also finding it difficult to talk and struggling with the admin of getting them in and out. In that phase I wasn’t sure I would be able to see out the treatment, but it really did just ease into being bearable so quickly, and as my teeth started to move closer to their final position the aches hugely subsided. A random tray here or there might twinge more, but largely became very bearable in my experience, and I ended up having them for ages with no problem! I think and hope it will be the same for you ♡

[@marguiWaterland]

The red/brown tiles are a dream!

[@kerry7333]

Soft foods are definitely your friend, especially for the first month or so. Your teeth are shifting from a position they have been in for a long time, so the first bit hurts the most (and after IPR - I had loads). The pain lessens the longer your teeth are moving. I’m 4 months in - still get tenderness for 2-3 days when changing trays but not as bad as the first month. (I skipped meals I was so scared to take my trays out!) I avoided most crunchy foods - raw veg/salads, crisps and food I had to bite into like burgers, bread etc. I eat more of those foods now though. Porridge and yoghurt are good and I make a lot of wraps for lunches which can be eaten with a knife and fork too. Another recommendation - the app ‘tray minder’…helps to time how long your trays are out for meals but you can also take ‘teethies’ - photos to show your progress from tray to tray. Seeing how far your teeth have moved and progressed will help your sanity on the painful days!

[@clarawild]

Regarding Invisaligns: I had normal braces as a teenager for quite some years. And I was always conscious about the temperature of my food. Soups were also staple but I made sure they were not too hot. I preferred meals on the cooler spectrum but nothing of extreme temperature either ways.

[@martar8088]

Hi Brittany! I am half way into my Invisalign 6 month journey and just be patient, it becomes easier with time and you will get used to it. The hooks to remove it were a life saver for me. When I am having a new aligner on so my teeth are more sensitive, I still eat the same food but as you said I split the harder food in chunks so that I don't have to cut it with my front teeth. I think though these bits of disconfort are definitely worth the results! I regret not doing it sooner 😊 On another note I would love looove to see a tutorial of how you do your very natural hair waves ❤

[@eimearpower318]

Any chance you can share where you got the toilet?? I'm in the middle of renovations so I really need to be clued into where to buy everything home!!

[@Petitkaramela]

Re Sicily , I just did a 20 days road trip last year, we did the full circle cause we wanted to see it all however I don’t recommend doing that . If you have a gap stick to the south cause it’s the prettiest. Extend your stay in Noto it is a good base to visit the region , and from there you can do daily trips. One day Siracusa, one day at the beach in the Turkish steps, one day Ragusa ibla ect. Also noto is a good base good at night it is lively and has a lot of food and bar options so you don’t need to take the car and can enjoy your drinks … Taormina should definitely be on your to do list for sure . Also there is a very good outlet store around there where I scored a bargain of a bag 🫣

[@AnastasiVintazh]

Hi Brittany! For your Sicily road trip check out the White Lotus (season 2) series :D They were filmed and set in Sicily - specifically at the the San Domenico Palace, Taormina. Stunning place! Also, some of the series was filmed in the Sicilian cities of Palermo and Noto, as well as on the surrounding Ionian Sea. Other bits were shot at the Castello degli Schiavi in the coastal town of Fiumefreddo (also known for featuring in The Godfather). Hope this helps!

[@ericadancewithme]

Aww. I’ve done aligners twice now. Key is to put the new liner in right before you sleep, pop in a few ibuprofens (strong ones) & sleep. I personally ate with my retainers, my teeth aligned much faster that way & so only had 1 day of pain per aligner (but each aligner really does get better as your gums start to soften) 😬

[@jessisoffline]

The tiles. THE Tiles. They have the audacity to look that stunning.

[@Natalia-un4hu]

Italian here: you have to go to Taormina! is an absolute little jewel (with glorious food) the Teatro Greco is a piece of ancient history that you can actually enjoy, with plays performed on the actual stage and the audience sitting on the actual steps..quite special indeed. The beaches around Taormina are gorgeous as well, you should go to Giardini Di Naxos and enjoy the sea : )

[@michelleduncan3911]

I’m two weeks from finishing my Invisalign! I lost 5 lbs in the first two weeks, because it restricts how often and type of foods you can eat. Probably half way through I was able to eat harder food, but I still can’t eat apples or bit through hard food. It shifts your teeth so you constantly are aware of your teeth and where your jaw sits. I always got compliments about my teeth but all I could see was the one crooked tooth. I’m glad I did it, but it wasn’t without pain and discomfort. Side noted, I think your bathroom needs wallpaper to compliment the tile. All the best with the move and renovations 💕!

[@Epyphanies]

Regarding the Sicily road trip, I have exclusively stayed near Etna for the duration of two weeks without swimming in the sea once and it was totally worth it. The views that open from there every morning and night are stunning, especially if the accommodation is facing the coast and is really high up!! Would highly recommend just bending the volcano around at the higher altitudes !!

[@hulga.hopewell8476]

I love the red tiles in the bathroom

[@sab-yt]

Pro tip: leave your aligners soaking in water when they're out (in a GU dish or similar) whenever you can otherwise they'll dry and smell. You're doing it right with the soft foods and breaking everything up but ultimately the sensitivity will go, even when you change aligners. What you describe is very familiar and normal. Shout out to Invisalign Reddit where I basically lived for the first month :')

[@alexandriapipitone4651]

I actually have mine soaking in water with denture cleaning tablets once in the morning. Just makes them feel fresh for me. I think Invisalign makes cleaner tablets but the denture tablets were easier to get ahold of.

[@sab-yt]

@@alexandriapipitone4651 I was advised that for weekly changes you don't need cleaning tablets. They will come in handy for the retainer stage when you're not changing to fresh aligners frequently. I use a toothbrush and Simple antibacterial liquid soap and my aligners stay nice and clean :)

[@ideya679]

look into a Multi Pressure Cooker + Air Fryer in one machine to save on space . I've had a instant pot and Ninja Foodi one that work great!

[@iseebeauty188]

Agrigento, specifically, The Valley of Temples! Stay outside the new city and situate yourself down the hill (the valley) staying at either at the Hotel Villa Athena, or a gorgeous BnB called Casa Di Mammi. And definitely recommend eating at Il Re di Girgenti! Bellisimo! Another stop is the Museo Archeologico Regionale Pietro Griffo - an incredible collection and also stunning sculptures outside the museum and a wonderful little adjacent cafe for a delicious affogato.

[@chloepunter4415]

Hello, fellow Invisaligner here! I am on week 9, the first couple of times you change are the worst but at least for me after my teeth started moving more the pain really lessens. I was told to change mine in the evening before bed and take some paracetamol so that the most pain should be gone by morning. But my first week my mouth hurt for around 4 days, but it gets less and less each time :) It also took me some time to find the best way to take mine out due to attachments, I find it easier to lift from the back left on my top teeth and from the right on my bottom, I think you just need to play around at the beginning just to make sure you are confident you can take them out, plus I was so worried I was going to break them, but never seemed to happen. Good luck with them :)))

[@michellechristie4063]

Brittany, can you please share who makes the beautiful grey cashmere sweater you are wearing in this video? Thank you!

[@raphaelle337]

I had a gum implant in May and I was eating a lot of smoothies, with flaxseeds, chia, almond butter, and I liked it because it was nutritious but also cold which felt nice. I hope this helps! ❣️

[@bethgillingspattison6484]

Hi, I haven't had invisaliners, but I had serious train tracks for a couple of years for my orthodontic treatment. The sensitivity does get better once your teeth get used to being shifted around, but I recommend any warm mushy foods like polenta and any risotto dishes if you dont want to keep cutting up your food before eating. I also found having protein rich smoothies helped with keeping me feeling full between meals to reduce the snacking 😂

[@ehopson14]

Invisalign Tip: warm saltwater can reduce swelling in the mouth and ease pain.

[@felicjk]

Had the exact same experience my first couple of weeks of Invisalign! Lived off smoothies to be honest! But by my 3rd or 4th aligner it wasn’t a problem at all, once my teeth had gotten used to being moved regularly, there was way less sensitivity :)

[@TheNaliyeva]

that ysl jacket though🥹💔

[@JoyInMySkin]

loveeeeee the tiles in the shower room!! And the finish on that bookcase trim is gorgeous! Look forward to the next vlog 🫶

[@silv2102]

Definitely Taormina. One of the prettiest places ever!

[@victtayl]

Cefalu is definitely worth going to. Stay there if you can but def visit on your way between Palermo and Catania. Also, Syracuse is beautiful. Go up Etna when you’re in Catania. And drink selz al limone on a hot day. Not alcoholic & so refreshing!

[@natkasambala]

I know everyone's saying it but teeth sensitivity definitely got soooo much better with time and even when switching aligners, discomfort would be mild and go away a lot quicker than at the start. in the meantime stuff like mashed potato, fishcakes, ramen, dumplings, eggs (scrambled/boilled), avocado, soft bread with spreads etc all helped!

[@Poshgirl99]

I’m really enjoying how you are experimenting with new editing styles. It’s fun and refreshing 😊

[@sharonevans6261]

Wishing you a happy move! So happy for you both ❤

[@carobriceno]

In love with your bookcases! Can’t wait to see them in your new place! Loving the renovation content! ❤

[@ambibambi14]

Always happy to see you! Food ideas: smoothies, apple sauce, yogurt, cottage cheese, protein drink, variety of puréed soups, polenta, nut butters. Good luck!

[@lenoose]

Honestly, you get used to the Invisalign - after a few weeks I felt more comfortable biting down on food and not being scared the attachments were going to come off. I have sensitive teeth and there's a bit of paranoia to get through, but if you're not in terrible pain, keep going. The first trays and new trays always feel tight and uncomfortable the first 2-3 days. Cheers to a more secure smile! 😁

[@christinechristine144]

I love your videos. Cannot wait to see more of your house when finished. Please let me know where your loo came from. Thank you. Hope moving goes smoothly.

[@irmasnaselova4151]

Oh, the house is start looking put together! So excited for you to move over! And about the braces, I didnt have Invisalign just a regular brace for over 4 years and it hurts so much every time my doctor made tighter! But it only last for a 1-2days and then I could eat normal food even nuts! But during those 4years I have never bit with my front teeth! So just hang on those 5 months and you’ll see that all that pain and discomfort worth it! Good luck 🫶🏻💪🏻🤍🦷

[@vcharmer5536]

Brittany you really need to visit Isole Eolie - Lipari, Salina, Stromboli. The islands are absolutely beautiful. I'm going back again this year and it'll be my third visit. Can't get enough.

[@Frieda25]

Sicily is definitely a dream! We have been there last year in October for 2 weeks and also did a road trip around the island. One of the best vacations! We started in Palermo and then drove west. I would definitely recommend the "Riserva naturale orientata dello Zingaro" with gorgeous bays! Then definitely the south with gorgeous empty beaches (e.g. "Riserva Naturale Orientata Torre Salsa"). And an absolute must is the "Riserva naturale orientata Cavagrande del Cassibile". Wonderful crystal clear water in breathtaking nature. Here you can easily take a day hike and then cool off in the water. Catania was my absolute favorite city, cool bars, very studenty and hip - I personally liked it better than Palermo. Taormina is certainly very beautiful, but we did not go there this time because it is just too touristy and crowded and you can discover so much more beautiful places on the island. A small sweet accommodation inland with an incredible breakfast is "Antichi Quartieri" in Piazza Armerina. Have a good trip!!

[@HPstarkid]

Definitely highly recommend Taormina, stunning and gorgeous. Aim for any of the hotels at the top

[@amalieaarup-johnsen6305]

I love the summervibe in this video! My food recommendations are: smoothie bowl, soup, oatmeal🍀🍀🍀

[@martinadesantis9577]

Wishing you a happy move! 💗💗💗 as for the Sicily road trip, I would recommend Ortigia Island for the wonderful views 🥰

[@Claudia_K.]

Such a lovely Sunday surprise! ☀️

[@lbarko]

I haven't had Invisiliners, but have had some serious braces/dental work with extreme sensitivity. Mashed potatoes were great, burrata salad with tomatoes or peaches went ok, and chili felt like a treat!

[@lindsay_dee]

Nutmeg White by Dulux is a lovely off-white from Dulux :) (for the bathroom)

[@emmybren]

I love your content! ❤ Hearing about your teeth sensitivity brought me back to my 7-years with braces when I was younger. Smoothies and protein shakes!, soups, mashed potatoes, mashed everything. Advil or your pain reliever of choice to help with the pain. It will be worth it!

[@Karolina-rd1dz]

Regarding food - I had the traditional braces and it was really tough, I couldn’t eat for what felt like a few months 🫣 nothing ground breaking to recommend unfortunately apart from: all the soft food. I started to like cottage cheese 😅 lots of soups, yoghurt, protein shakes… you will get through it but may loose some weight along the way so maybe stock up on peanut butter etc 😬

[@Yayaataa]

Hi. You should definitely visit Taormina. It’s so stunning that I kept thinking it looks like a theatre set. However it is way more touristy than other places but still worth it in my opinion. I also loved Ortigia. But you can easily get there for day trips from Noto or catania. New house looks lovely! :-)

[@Lyndseyde]

28:38 this might sound really random but some baby food pouches can be nice and a good way to boost calories!

[@Dressreview]

Re Invisalign: My partner has braces atm and when ever they are adjusted needs soft food because of the pain and sensitivity. They often have during those times; obviously smoothies and soups but also Dahl and rice, scrambled eggs, refried beans, mashed sweet potato and avocado, yogurt and fruit purée, stewed and mashed apples, packet Mac and cheese that's been overcooked for extra softness.

[@juliaf2614]

I’ll never forget the day after getting braces oh my god I just cried and starved. I imagine invisiline is similar!

[@sevirutgrink2840]

I think scrambled eggs with mashed avocado and maybe smoked salmon would be a good soft breakfast option which also keeps you satisfied for a longer period so there is no need to snack.

[@alexandriapipitone4651]

Yes to the teeth super super sensitivity when starting Invisalign, even with soft foods or not eating at all!!! (I’m over a year of wearing them now). I would say that it took about 10 days for the sensitivity to die down and was not nearly as bad on the subsequent aligners. Randomly, there will be sensitivity on day one of a new aligner but it is not every time. At the beginning, it’s just getting through it unfortunately. Lots and lot of noodles 😂 wishing you well!

[@emmacurrens1617]

I did Invisalign a few years ago- it was so worth it and I’m super happy with results!

[@Anna_Under_Fire]

Hi Brittany! Love your vlogs, thank you so much for sharing with us pice of your life. I had the same problem with invisibleline for a few months. I thought I never can eat again properly, because it was so painful. But! It’s not forever, at one moment I started to feel really comfortable using them. I was eating a lot of cream-soups and smoothies when it was painful. It a total I vas using them almost a year. P.S. Good luck with moving in!

[@izzyw12345]

i did Invisalign a couple of years ago and was super sensitive in the beginning but promise it gets better after the first few aligners!

[@amandag759]

Buy toothpaste for sensitive teeth, it helps! But it does get better as you go along, the changes your teeth make in the initial part of the program are the biggest changes

[@tomfrank]

Brit... there's good news - and bad. I had Invisalign for 36 months as (like yours) I had to significantly move teeth around to enable correct jaw function, as opposed to just straightening them. The sensitivity will sadly be an ongoing issue! Whenever you get a new tray it'll almost always be sore and biting down on anything will be tough. You can actually try biting down with your retainers on and training yourself to deal with the discomfort. There's no easy way to confront it, because (as I'm sure your orthodontist told you) your teeth are essentially permanently unfixed until a few months after your treatment ends. (This is also why you must wear your permanent retainer nightly once treatment ends, because the teeth will try to move back, and I'd opt for the metal bars behind your teeth top and bottom. I'm not sure if this is included in the treatment in the UK as I was living in Switzerland when I had Invisalign - but definitely do it if it's affordable, because it prevents potential ongoing sensitivity once treatment ends). Rice is a great option as well as the soft bread and noodles you mentioned, as well as steamed veg. Anything crunchy will need to take a back seat for a while. Good luck and I can't wait to see the results!

[@rachelroche518]

This might not work for Invisalign but when my teeth were super sensitive during bleaching my dentist told me to rub sensodyne toothpaste on them and that worked a treat - really calmed the pain

[@Lyndseyde]

7:30 you might already like your dentist but I go to the Gentle Dentist in Covent Garden and they’ll always make sure you’re really well numbed so you don’t feel any pain. I’ve always thought your smile is really cute but I understand x

[@SofiaQureshi-q3t]

Can you please make bag suggestions for those of us who lug around lap tops for work? E.g., backpacks?

[@Skaterkid-v9]

The pain/aching/sensitivity is with all braces. Any adjustment whether traditional braces or aligner change with Invisalign, the pain seems to be the same :( Even though Invisalign is claimed to be less painful, I don't believe that it is. The first week has to be the worst though. I think people just become more tolerant to the pain over time. I had traditional braces a few years ago, but my night time retainer is a plastic retainer, the same style exactly as an Invisalign type aligner and if I forget to use the retainer for a few weeks and then strart wearing it, the pain is exactly the same to traditional braces.

[@enalyppop]

I had invisalign for nearly two years and it does get better I promise!

[@aiai-j7i]

Congratulations on your new house! I look forward to seeing the extension and also what you will do with the garden (avid gardener here). I liked the look of the Danish oil...can you not use that for the hallway/staircase instead of staining it?

[@janicelovelace4285]

Try eating pasta, roasted aubergine, risotto, casserole, grilled fish. Your teeth probably won’t hurt this much once you’re a few weeks into the treatment. It will be worth the pain to feel happier about your teeth. I had metal ‘train track’ braces a couple of years ago and it’s the best thing I’ve ever done. X

[@tamsinmcgee6750]

Siracuse in Sicily was a highlight for me - and Mount Etna.

[@asq4867]

I did invisalign at 30 for 19 months, was expensive but no regrets at all

[@hellolorimeyer]

The pain will go away eventually but the first month(s) is brutal. Change your trays out at night before bed and take pain medication with it.

[@sunskyemist]

How did you come to the decision to go with warm tones throughout the house? Was it the light in the house, the house itself, something more personal?

[@27yioda]

Missed your content! Always look forward to a new video 👍😊

[@jfabro]

I love your outfit in the thumbnail but you didn’t show it in the video? Could you share where the top and trousers are from?

[@emmy8526]

Oh wow, rough timing with the teeth and the move at the same time. I have fond memories of mashed bananas when I had my tonsils out. Porridge is very healthy and can be made sweet or savoury. Yogurt and smoothies should be easy and nutritious as well.

[@blairuppereastsider]

where the pomegranate colored necklace is from?

Not sure how readily available homeopathic medicine is in the UK, but I give my daughters homeopathic arnica when they have orthodontic pain/sensitivity. It works really well!
