I've noticed this in some of your videos where you explain to us what you are eating. The macaroni you made looks delicious and you don't have to justify whether you should eat the whole bowl or not. I am just now starting to be less food-focused/less restrictive and I don't want you to feel like you have to explain why you're eating what makes you happy/full. Just an observation I mean this with ❤️

[@breeyawnahinton]

Brooke its okay to like your hair even if other people don't. You don't have to "play it cool" or be nonchalant because people unnecessarily shared their opinions.

[@thalitacorreia9563]

It literally upsets me that every time I watch Brooke's videos, she's always apologizing for doing what she likes and what she wants. Siss Do you! live your life and do what makes you happy!

[@cailinnbrooke]

Rightttt! ~ live and let live

[@MyaGuardino]

Can we see a work day in the life, morning routine!!? I’m working from home now as a youtuber + student and struggling to get up and be productive. Would love to see your take on the morning💖

[@ommi_k]

@H K And how do you know? Jealous much? Just spread positivity please its unnecessary to react like this...

[@ommi_k]

H K and what do you think youtube is? It’s work

[@MyaGuardino]

H K being a full time youtuber, is working. A lot more goes into videos and social media than meets the eye. We shouldn’t discredit the work she does! :)

[@ommi_k]

Mya Guardino preach 🙌🏻

[@brookemiccio]

H K I could imagine from a viewer it may appear that way! I don’t show a majority of my editing time or back-end work that allows for my content to be posted 3 times a week on KZbin and a podcast every week. That is my job! I am so fortunate that I am able to make a living doing this full time.

[@SamElle]

AHHHH I've missed seeing ADINA IN YOUR VLOGS AND IM SO HAPPY SHE CAME TO VISIT

[@lindseyrem]

I just got a bar cart and I don’t drink so it’s full of coffee cups lmao

[@brookemiccio]

a concept honestly

[@Laura_94]

A coffee cart 😍 that’s what I want now

[@cailinnbrooke]

This would totally be me, but with energy drinks!!

[@athomewithsarahh]

I’m dying at how excited your mom got about the bananas on the waffle hahahaha “BaNaNaS!”

[@meganlamont3072]

Hobby idea: crosswords. I picked them up when I was in college and they are so fun and challenging, plus you learn lots of neat facts! Kind of old ladyish but perfect to do solo, on a plane, in a coffee shop, etc.

[@daniellepreece5881]

“Cookie?! I’m triggered.” Laughing so hard over that comment.

[@aneliamelissa8601]

just started watching the video and I just read “dj stuff lol” in the description box HAHAH I’m so excited

[@Melisssssa27]

The outfit you wore to sushi with your mom looks amazing on you!!

[@brittneevanderbilt3005]

You’re using the Bondi waver upside down that’s why there’s a harsh line at the roots! Flip it with the solid panel against your head!

[@brookemiccio]

Brittnee Vanderbilt omg thank u!!! Lol

[@brittneevanderbilt3005]

Brooke Miccio Welcome! I made the same mistake for a solid week

[@imanhawaa8887]

Got half way through then looked at the title & saw “new hobby”, went to the description & saw “dj stuff” and got so excited!!

[@gabrielleschmidt6501]

Dude ive been loving your hair dont let anyone tell you different!

[@kaitlynwong4425]

I would highly recommend Zest Sushi (it’s in the Lower East Side!). During their happy hour (between 4 and 7 during the week and before 7 on weekends), they have $4.50 rolls and other things (beer, fried rice, etc.)

[@lovableLeo13]

I love your wavy hair Brooke! It looks gorgeous on you! I recommend adding a little finishing serum or argan oil to complete the look and tame any frizz! That works wonders for my hair! 💗

[@barbjob94]

Tik tok dermatologist suggested spraying Salicylic acid on your make before putting it on. Helps with maskne

[@GraceGarnet]

okay but your mum is SO LOVELY

[@mely3088]

I love your mom 🥺

[@ConfessionsdeManon]

You look gorgeous with the balayage and the wavy hair 😍 keep doing this style, I think it is what suits you best, it gives you a romantic/soft/naturally feminine look

[@wednesdaysrain]

your hair looks absolutely gorgeous!!!

[@caylkauai]

you guys remind me of like a modern day Gilmore Girls!! So cute I love your relationship!!

[@ChicSabrina]

In one of your future sit down videos it could be fun talking about/showing your journey trying out new hobbies and your experience learning how to dj and whatever else you try out! :)

[@katharris769]

use heat protectant!!!!! Use the pantene gold series one - the gold series is a little more tailored towards natural hair but I think it would work good in your hair since it's thicker - my mom has hair like yours and she likes it a lot

[@jillianfoley958]

GIIRRRRRLLLL !!!! I have the same dj controller! I took a turntable class last spring and my teacher recommended that one to me so that’s a really good one! You’re going to love it seriously it’s so fun!! I know this is for hobby purposes, but I recommend looking into the history of hip hop/ dj because I think it’s good to know since it’s a black created art form and it honestly makes the experience sooooo much more enjoyable and meaningful. Also serato is pronounced sir-ah-toe. Please keep vlogging your process I’m excited !!

[@coffeeandplan4388]

The wavy hair is such a vibe! I still really enjoy the vlogs, even if you’re just hanging around.

[@akanegauntt1683]

A v good heat protectant is hot off the press by Paul Mitchell! It’s not goopy or sticky - it’s an aerosol spray can so it doesn’t get all over your tools. Asian hair (I’m mixed) is in my experience notorious for not being able to curl/hold style and this is the only thing that helps it stay. Since it dries quickly you probably want to just lightly spritz one section at a time right before you use your heat tool. It’s also a hair spray so it’s a 2 in 1 product which my wallet likes. I think it’s a little less than 20$ at ULTA

[@CataLizaso]

brooke! a couple of things! your hair and makeup never looked better! keep doing what you are doing. you are so pretty. i love your vlogs! i can watch hours of you "doing nothing" (girl! you are doing a lot!) so dont worry about being boring, you could never. love u ❤

[@anquanettehouston5179]

And I’m livingggg for the way adina said “omg and bananassssss “😂😂😂

[@emylperalta2077]

I LOVE YOUR HAIR! I got the bondi boost and im scared to try it but this really motivated me!

[@PreeyaSharma]

omg literally imagine having a relationship like this with ur mom 🥺

[@raquelconceicao]

if you add an oil or curl cream in your hair after the waver it makes it look SLIGHTLY more put together and its like a 3 second add

[@trishanolan4990]

I would love to see you find the best/unique Airbnb’s to stay in around the US. Maybe start a series on it that you post once a month. We are all trying to find a way to “travel” or have an incredible adventure. If you show the search online “tips” to find the best Airbnb, the uniqueness of the area (ie little gems), outdoor adventures you can have in the area (ie, best hiking trails, horseback riding, zip lining, kayaking, etc), preparation for the trip (ie grocery supplies, clothing, books you are taking), best restaurants that you are able to eat at within the area of the Airbnb and COVID Guidelines approved. I would love to see your mom on some of the trips too. I love the dynamic between you two ❤️❤️❤️

[@teresawolfe6038]

The acne from the mask is due to your detergent. Find a hypoallergenic detergent just to wash your masks. Maybe buy a small bottle of dreft. It's meant for babies sensitive skin it should help.

[@torischerle]

Oh yeah I guess this makes sense, I haven’t have a problem with mascne but I use tide free and gentle all the time anyways.

[@Pjzweek6586]

Try Tide in the white bottle. It’s for sensitive skin.

[@Molly5237]

You can also wash them in the sink with your face soap!

[@brenna7410852963]

^^

[@kimberlilymagda]

I’m getting the worse acne I’ve ever had, but I use disposable ones. Any recommendations?

[@Lisac9011]

I like the shelf the way it is now better than it flipped. I have some like it and they are made to go either way. If you flip it your ledge wont be as big go fit books and plants.

[@canadianclassiccrochet]

Brushes out wavy hair: “Wow.. should I just walk around like this?” LOL this made me laugh sooooo hard 😂🙌🏻 so so funny!

[@mommykaye10]

Love it so much when you have your mom in your videos ❤️❤️❤️

[@KristaCannady]

Why is your mom such a queenie!! Lol love her

[@alisonrichard624]

Loving your NYC content. Also I notice how mindful you are of what you say when you’re vlogging, like being transparent about your spending, noting “first world problems”, and being sensitive to other viewpoints. When I first noticed you doing this I felt like geez, what a pain for her to have to constantly monitor what she says, but the more I watch you, the more I really appreciate that you do this. Just being aware that the people watching you may have completely different views or lifestyles or opinions and you want to be mindful of that. Good on you Brooke 💕

[@TaliaLea]

omg dj mixing sounds so sick! such a neat hobby to pick up

[@juliar3663]

Hey Brooke! I feel like I have similar hair texture to you. I found that if I let my hair dry down 80% of the way and then put it in a braid or two (not French don’t worry) and let it dry the rest of the way then it comes out with amazing natural waves! And it’s super easy and won’t damage your hair with heat. I’d love to see you try it!

[@katiewarcholak1962]

It’s super cool that you’re learning to DJ!! My husband is a DJ and used to play at a bunch of clubs in DC (pre-pandemic lol). It’s tough at first but stick with it! Once you get the hang of it you won’t be able to stop digging for new music and making mixes ☺️

[@Laurensthoughts12]

Ugh yeah I have super thick long hair that gets everywhere and 3 dogs so the vacuum can never keep up lol love the videos with your mom too! :)

[@leanneeggenberger9127]

That is such a nice visit from your Mom! Those days/nights when you can just chill out, watch TV, and hang are the best. Thanks for sharing a few days with us, Brooke!

[@wenramirez9782]

Personally I love the waver! All about that beachy, carefree hair 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@chasingbateman]

Awww, I love seeing you and your mom. Makes me even more excited to see my mom, who’s driving in right now for a visit! ❤️

[@ilooveyou18]

I have similar hair to you and I love the waver! A few tips to help even more, try holding the waver vertical, not horizontal, so the waves flow more naturally. Also, as you get closer to the top of your head, don’t go all the way to the root. Sometimes I’ll even use my straighter just at the top to smooth it out. And some finishing serum instead of hairspray to help it look more shiny :)

[@sarah-chambers]

Your hair looks beautiful wavy! Also the “messy” look is such a cute look. It’s effortless!

[@sarah-chambers]

I am also dealing with maskne right now and it freaking sucksssss

[@qwreh9961]

i just love you & your mom’s relationship😭y’all are literally best friends❤️

[@jyliansmm]

The detergent you're using, typically doesn't come in close, continual, contact with your face. Try using a different cleaner for your mask, maybe Woolite or Dreft, hand wash and lay flat to dry. HTH

[@shoshlove7355]

Totally relate with the “hair shedding situation “ non stop hair all over lol 😂

[@cindylou5156]

We LOVE Adina❤️. Also, I totally relate on the thick dark hair struggles: my hair is always everywhere

[@danielleinfante5086]

I live with two other women with colored hair, it’s EVERYWHERE lol. But it makes me feel validated about how much hair I lose 🥴😂

[@veronica3874]

the best way to start my day!!! love you sooo much brooke!

[@daysy409]

I WANNA SEE YOU DJ BROOKE!!!!! DO IT!!!!! I watched Turn Up Charlie on netflix recently and I'm really into the lifestyle. I think it would be a good creative outlet for you and another sense of purpose. Also interesting new vlog content!

[@karlipfeifer4203]

Keep you’re videos coming girl💛💛💛

[@alyssapereira7097]

Seeing you and your mom hang together makes my heart happy 💕 y’all are the cutest

[@Jerkinizdhehabit]

Your mom is so cute 🥺💕

[@sarahsnee1651]

The Benefit cookie highlighter is THE BEST highlighter I've ever used!!!!! It's sooo beautiful and blinding but still natural imo

[@Justvibing-qz8nv]

Can you do like a mask makeup routine or everyday makeup routine? I struggle with what makeup to wear cause I try not to get my mask too dirty with foundation 😭 love the video!!

[@domenicamichelle460]

My brother did as a hobby and he loved it!! Can’t wait to hear updates. Also loooveee that so many cities allowing to-go drinks!

[@mackenzieadeline2568]

I find that the best ways to prevent mask acme is to wash my cotton mask by hand with a sensitive skin hand or body soap. Also not wearing foundation tends to keep your skin clearer. If your mask gets wet, immediately change it or dry it and make sure you have a mask that you are able to breathe through freely

[@antoniajagodic]

I think you're so happy to have your Mum in NYC ❤️😘

[@jjfan15]

Adina is actually everything!

[@maddieann387]

love to see you and your mom together!!!

[@kariellis3116]

I’m a nurse and have to double mask for around 13 hours a shift and witch hazel has been my saving grace!!!! I’m sure people will have negative views on witch hazel but I wash my face, wipe all over with witch hazel and then moisturize and it’s been keeping my maskne at a minimum! If I do have a breakout I exfoliate and then use the Mario badescu buffering lotion on the problem areas! That typically wipes out my problem areas overnight. Hopefully that works for someone

[@kariellis3116]

Maskne is not necessarily because it’s dirty or because of detergent because we get brand new n95’s and surgical masks every shift and I still have the same issue

[@olbird7647]

Curious as to why there may be 'negative views' on witch-hazel?

[@anquanettehouston5179]

I feel like living in nyc is the perfect way to get into new hobbies! I know with Covid things are different, but maybe there are some classes of new hobbies you can take while socially distancing! Like pottery or dance , cooking anything! 🤗

[@JCallaghan88]

Hey Brooke, just had a thought about the Maskne. Do you wash your masks in the sink? If not it could be your laundry detergent clogging your pores? Maybe try double rinsing them in the sink after washing or just hand washing them? It may help as they will be better rinsed.

[@stefygeorgieva9576]

I had a black liquid liner phase too, I used to put it on everyday. I still think it looks great but putting it on every single day sorta made it less "special" lol I now wear considerably less makeup and only wear liquid eyeliner for a night out or some occasion

[@maniiasdiaries]

I was cracking up laughing when you were talking about waffles with your mom and the MASK IN THE BACKGROUND ON THE AC WAS BOPPING AROUND IDK WHY BUT IT WAS SO FUNNY 😂😂😂

[@TaylorWood467]

I commented on the last video and said that we have very similar hair and I recently bought a waver and love it! I use heat protectant and I hate it because it smells 😂 my hair doesn’t hold curl AT ALL. No matter what product I used, a curling iron or curling wand doesn’t work for my hair. The waver makes it look a little bit more put together.

[@SarahSchneider2]

Matzo ball soup and potato pancakes. Love it, I only normally only eat that on the Jewish holidays but I love the thought of eating them all year round.

[@emmarosner9565]

I think she posted it in one of her last videos! :)

[@SarahLouisePickett]

You should get a Roomba for a vacuum! You can run it while you’re at home and it’s sooooo nice!!! I have super thick hair and it gets everywhere! Roomba runs daily lol.

[@olbird7647]

Could double as a little pet wandering around 🤔😂

[@SarahLouisePickett]

Ol' Bird True!!

[@olbird7647]

@@SarahLouisePickett knit it a little suit from all the hair and get it a little lead- good excuse to get out for a walk....now I know i've been isolating toooo long 😂😂

[@maddielarimore782]

you’re a queen brooke! i like the waves bc it seems to go with your natural texture and looks great! my fav part is that you like it:) love ur vids!!!

[@leora1998]

Honestly Brooke I feel like you could become a super amazing and cool DJ!! You have those vibes and I can see you in the future working in the city and doing sets all around. Once you find your niche it just clicks!

[@catwilson6208]

Your mom is so cool!

[@yoyoally11]

Been really loving your videos, Brooke! Your vlogs are not boring at all! Love having them in the background while cooking or during lunch breaks! Keep it up :)

[@karlyjones]

Your mom is my favorite 😂 also love the vlogs I’ve been keeping up with them!!

[@ElleNoel23]

Love the Adina vlogs 💕

[@imanhawaa8887]

So happy your mom came, love seeing her in the vlogs!! All the food y’all ate looks delicious!!💙💙

[@samanthakennedy5126]

Brooke you should learn how to make potato pancakes in your air fryer and surprise your family for the holidays! PS- awesome vlog! Your mom and the waffles made me laugh so hard LOL

[@Hollymnoles]

Omg! That waffle place is my fav!!! When I came to NYC last spring break, we ate there like 4 times!! The savory waffles are really good too! I love the sundae one y’all got!

[@mercibleu3878]

Girl you dont got to justify or listen to people's opinons regarding your hair. It is beautiful, it is luscious, it is thick and whether you straighten or curl or beachy-wave it, it is up to you. I think the 'uncombed' waves are gorgeous and its what i go for bc humidity already makes thick hair a bigger problem than it is on a nice dry day. I feel ya, u keep doing u!

[@nataliexoxo1485]

I remember Brooke talking about wanting to learn to dj in the podcast and now you’re starting it:))

[@sheilarocks2001]

I love your vlogs. I don't think it is boring. It just shows the typical day and your thoughts. :)

[@gabbydennis9944]

okay but why is adina absolutely killing in that denim that she is wearing to din

[@heartofmilkandhoney8096]

If you don’t want to fix the shelf, you could always use white nail polish to paint over the screws on your upside down shelf. That way it will be more discrete that it’s upside down.

[@catherinecenzoprano6100]

I love your hair with the waver!!

[@tclay367]

Love your hair, looks great!! Don’t worry about the negative Nelly’s!

[@AlyssaPoplaski]

SHE’S A DJ !!!!!

[@kristinfischer761]

I loveeeee the hair suits you so well so natural looking too!!

It would be so cool if you vlogged the process of you learning how to dj!!

[@suploser1]

BEST SUSHI IN NYC. KOTOBUKI. You will not regret it. Love the area you live in. Please try Veselka potato latkes as well :)

[@Thisisyoutubee]

If you don’t want to keep milk - get a little pint of heavy cream - lasts way longer!! And.. I’ve always wondered 🤔 is vegan butter, margarine? 🧈

[@fermancilla2789]

Brooke, I've seen people that use the same kind of hair waver on other videos. What I've seen works for them in the front pieces is starting the wave mid-length, not near the root. Maybe you could try it and see how it looks. Love how it looks just like this, though

[@stephanielake11]

It's so nice seeing you with your mom!! Also love that you're picking up a hobby!! As for content maybe it would be fun if you made some really hard dishes that you never cooked before from a cookbook. Or if you try a detox (I did the Wild Rose Detox, and it's awesome). Anyhow have a great week Brooke!!

[@maisiegibb4430]

Try Zest Sushi in the LES!! Sooo good
