HOME VLOG! 🏡 cooking, starting the utility room renovation & bank holiday at home AD

[@brogantatexo]

Hey pals! Welcome back! How’s your week going? 💕

[@ruthalxandra413]

i LOVE your home vlogs. they’re my absolute fave 🥰

[@haileythomas1563]

long week but these vlogs always put a smile on my face after studying since 7 am this morning! 🥰

[@creativereindeer]

A win for me this week was getting a podcast edited and out the door! Unlike your ‘seasons’ this one I do is always on so I feel like I’m constantly ‘on’ - the idea of doing it more broken up so you can properly promote the stuff you’ve made is neat! That said there are a few in the team on it so I can’t complain!! Happy creating and glad you had a positive meeting!!

[@AinslieJohnstone]

Great vlog! Hope the Utility transformation is going great. Bonnie is the cutest 💕

[@lisahamilton3345]

Brilliant! Just bought my 1st car and booked a great internship for the summer! Have been binging all your old travel and haul videos this week on my study breaks, so great to see another upload from you this week 😁 Thanks for keeping us all positive and upbeat Brogan x

[@Kathleen_McDermott]

I love it when you & Benji do cooking together. Bonnie excited for breakfast was so cute. What you got from Teeq was so cute. Love anything that has a bit of Disney on it. The utility room is going to look so good once finished. 😊

[@hannahbrady2941]

Where is that white Disney jumper from. In love😍

[@sophiejones33]

Love your videos! Finally getting chance to catch up on them & I think this is my 3rd year watching your vids now🥰 discovered you by your Disney Vlogs & you’re so comforting and so uplifting! I’ve always said your vibes are out of this world, you are incredible✨🌟

[@nataliegoldstone6990]

My dog always smells like popcorn when he wakes up 😍 Bonnie is the sweetest girl 💘

[@candicerogalski6801]

I love these types of videos. I have it on in the background while I am working from home. Love it!

[@brogantatexo]

So glad! Thanks Candice xx

[@juliecarriker9950]

It's lovely seeing you, Benji, and Bonnie!!! 😍😍😍 I haven't done many, but really have enjoyed using meal kits; they're so easy! One of my daughters uses them all the time! Great start on your utility room!!! I'm eager to see it all finished! Ours needs a little reworking, so hopefully we'll get to it before too long. We've started going out to eat a little, and this past Sunday we went to a beach pizza place with our daughter and son-in-law, and it almost seemed NORMAL!!! (Although we did wear masks until we sat down.) Hopefully with vaccinations life WILL get back to normal!!! Continued love and health from across the pond!!! 💜💜💜

[@brogantatexo]

Thanks Julie!! Love that xxx

[@morganpreiss5449]

Not me sneakily watching this at work to prevent me from losing my mind😬 love love love your vlogs! They always make me smile and are so relaxing.

[@brogantatexo]

Sending love Morgan! Thank you so much! ❤️

[@AprilSlocombe]

I'm glad to hear your back is feeling better now. My dad had to see a chiropractor recently because he has a bad back due to a slipped disc. I like Bonnie's new toys, especially her pink elephant one because it reminds me of the grey one she had when you and Benji rehomed her. Your blossom tree photo that you posted on Instagram this morning looks beautiful. I like how you have started to renovate the utility room and I'm happy to hear that you will have your garden renovated soon. I subscribed to HelloFresh on and off for the past 4 years, but I cancelled my subscription for good earlier this year because I wanted to be in more control of my finances. Since you last uploaded a vlog like this one, I took a COVID-19 PCR home test because I had been coughing on and off the weekend before and the test came back as negative, so I put my coughing down to a sudden change in the weather. I am now taking regular rapid flow tests and the first one I took on Monday also came back as negative. Yesterday I had my second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. Next Monday I will be having my hair cut and hopefully next Sunday provided that the rapid flow tests my parents and I will take will be negative, I will be staying with them for a week to celebrate my birthday with them.

[@brogantatexo]

Thank you April, you have such good memory! The pink elephant is the same as the grey one, she loves it. That's great news! How exciting. Wishing you the best with your plans and vaccine! xx

[@tazzy93]

I've recently just started watching your videos from the beginning to keep me sane whilst working from home, I cannot believe you've been on KZbin for 10 years! Deffo also had to take some of your advice this week and get outside to get some fresh air. My motivation is also very low at the moment, so a change of scenery and some space away from computers/phones is much needed ❤

[@brogantatexo]

Thank you so much!! I love that, sending love. You are not alone! xx

[@jamiecoombexx]

Just finished watching this whilst waiting to go to fracture clinic to get my cast off my leg so they can decide what’s next for my broken ankle! Love watching, always makes me smile x

The best type of video to put on in the background whilst I’m working from home! 😂

My daughter loves bacon in the air fryer now, used your way to cook it this morning so thank you for sharing.

[@noahguercio564]

10 year anniversary coming up. Been here for 6 years. Absolutely love Brogan ❤️❤️

[@MariaMedeiros]

Lovely vlog Brogan! I’m so happy you are doing so great! As for me I’m getting chemotherapy next week. I’ll be watching your videos during my hard times. Your videos bring me joy. Much love and positivity to you. ❤️🌸🌻

[@brogantatexo]

Thank you so much. Oh Maria, I'm thinking of you! Sending so much love. Hope it goes okay. I'm only a DM away if you need a chat. Likewise! xx

[@louisemills4258]

Recently found your vlogs and loving them 🥰 - you've literally kick started me into proper organisation and decluttering.I've also just finished cooking our Hello Fresh dinner 🤣 so simple with busy work days xx

[@brogantatexo]

Love it!! xx

[@shannonwuke1043]

Random question... that bacon looks delicious, where is it from? Also, a tip if Bonnie goes through a lot of toys. If you go to a charity shop you can get big bags of teddies from some of them for really cheap. Just wash them and she can have so much fun! Also, me and my partner LOVE the sleepy dog smell.

[@emmagbeautylovexx7498]

Great week enjoying the outside on long walks. Even better when it's your day off from work and your vlogs are so enjoyable to watch, I find myself watching your old ones also 😁. Xx

[@brogantatexo]

Thank you Emma! xx

[@ToriJaneIvy]

i really enjoyed that film when we watched it. love them new disney t-shirts 😍😍 cant wait to see what the utility room looks like when its all done xx

[@misscharleyjardinexx]

I remember finding your channel when I was 16 I think it was your Disney Paris trip I watched first. I’m now 25! I can’t believe you’ve been doing this for 10 years. Your vlogs are still my favourite especially your Disney ones. I’m still waiting for my first Disney trip which has been cancelled because of COVID so I have watched your trips multiple times 😂

[@brogantatexo]

Thank you so much Charley!! That's amazing!! I started when I was 17 and that Disneyland Paris trip with my Mum was my 18th birthday, so you've been here a long time!! Oh bless you, it'll be worth the wait when we can go. Thanks for watching xx

[@katkjam21]

I love watching Brogans Videos so much!!! I’ve been back at work for almost a month. I work at Primark and it’s been crazy! Been going gym and working on uni work and slowly rebuilding a routine and a normal life!

[@brogantatexo]

Thank you Katie! Sending love to you! xx

[@TheJoelWood]

Oh Brogan, I used to drink 2 litres of Pepsi Max by myself PER DAY! So don't feel bad! I haven't had it all year and now I'm craving it haha!

[@leannehirst4402]

You doing hello fresh reminded me how much your Mam loved it, she had her folder in kitchen with all recipes. It looked a great tea.

[@DsnyLuv]

How do you take your tea ? Do you have a link to the tea you take?

[@hannahbannabiscuit92]

Love watching your vlogs I’ve been waiting for a utility room update since you finished the kitchen and now the garden update oh Brogan you do spoil me! 🤣 hope you’re all keeping well Xx

[@helenkennell2156]

Great vlog Brogan, really loved the hello fresh meals and seeing Bonnie 😊 xx

[@brogantatexo]

Thanks Helen! Xx

[@AmyWare]

All those HelloFresh choices sound lush! I think it’s so important to take time to reflect on the good, we’re just not very good at celebrating our wins, it’s always the negatives that we focus on xx

[@brogantatexo]

So true! xx

[@emmagaryj]

Ordered our first Hello Fresh box Thankyou. Looking forward to it x

What is your update with your Disney world trip? Sorry if you have already mentioned it and I’ve missed it but I really want to book for January 2022 but I’d really appreciate your thoughts on returning back.. also when you’ve moved your dates to? Are you bothered about masks, no Disney dining plans, no fast passes.. ect. I’m hoping it will change by then but a bit scared to book and it’s still stays the same. Your the queen of all things disney so an update video on your planned trip would be appreciated 😘🐭 I need disney back in my life 🙈🤣xx

late to watch this one as been super busy at work the last couple of days, but what perfect way to spend a friday night, cant wait to watch! xxxx

Big hello fresh fan! Helped me be more adventurous with cooking than I ever would have been with a recipe book!! What did you make of the Disney plus thing you watched - big shot or something?

[@brogantatexo]

I love that!! It was good - nothing special, a nice 'background' watch. Invested now so will keep watching, bit cringe at times but secretly like that haha xx

I’ve just used your code to order our first hello fresh box. Honestly at school pick ups all the mums do is moan about having to think of dinners! Will be good to give this a go!

[@brogantatexo]

Yes Jen! Definitely worth a try with the discount. I LOVE not worrying about meal planning, especially towards the end of the week. Can't imagine what it's like with kids too! Let me know how you get on! xx

I have just ordered hello fresh thank you for the discount code. Busy mum of 3 so having meals already ready helps a lot and will stop me ordering food when I don't know what to cook.

Hi brogan. Great start on the utility room. Cant wait to see the transformation. Are you going to try and book for the disney UK cruise? Or will you and Benji not be vaccinated in time? Xxxx

[@brogantatexo]

Thank you Claire! Sadly it's a no-go on the Cruise, Benji will be fully vaccinated on Monday (as he's a key worker), but I wouldn't been done in time so we couldn't book. I did check the prices anyway and it was VERY expensive for what we wanted, so I'm going to pop the money aside and try and do Disneyland Paris later in the year instead. Want my first Disney Cruise to be across the pond anyway I think! xx

[@clairequick9116]

@@brogantatexo sorry Brogan, only just saw this lovely, lengthy reply. Yeah, I was disappointed when looking at the 4 day cruise at the amount of time you actually get...day one starting at 6.30pm and day 4 finishes at 7.30am!!!! £2,000 for the four of us. I would have paid it if it was four whole days (plus we wont be vaccinated in time either) not meant to be unfortunately. Hope you have a lovely day today.
