You lost me at Chrissy Teigan

I think you should end out blogs with “hot mess kitchen” of you trying a new recipe each time. I love your hot mess kitchen. Your blogs always brighten my day

[@opienattyvlogs7930]

Yess 😊

[@laurastr1]

I did curbside pickups at Target before the pandemic. Big time saver when I worked in the office full time. There were only 4 spots back then. I have a favorite parking space everywhere. When you pull up to a stop sign at the same time as another car, it’s the person on the right, who should go first.

[@spanishrose5188]

Your right there are so many benefits as to working out because i work out steady and when I had a stroke it didn’t hit as hard it hit the right side but I’m back and doing well. So keep it up and I will too love you 😘

[@melindamiller9022]

I live in Puerto Rico and when we cook food we add Sazon it gives the food wonderful color and flavor, give it a try you might like it. Love ya girl❤

If you put a damn paper towel under the cutting board it won’t slip around 😊

Whatever happened to the slip cover you bought? I had bought the same kind you got, but never returned it, even though they keep popping off. 😢 I wish I did. Maybe I should have gotten the kind that go over the entire couch, not just the cushion. Too late for that!

[@MissMaww]

My family and I egg phase is always on For the couch set you should get blankets so it can add stule and gelp protect the chair also it can just wash in the washer

I was wondering - when you do your workout with your coach on your headphones, is this live or an audio which response to your movements?

[@whitsiv82]

Yes. I wondered the same.

[@melodynicole87]

This being posted made my morning!

[@jessdryan]

I think going in the store and walking around to buy your groceries would be more healthy than sitting in your car all the time while someone brings your stuff.

[@ashleystahmer]

She shops in-store all the time and did pick-up after her workout, I think she’s doing fine!

[@jessicaslattery5024]

Girl that’s a stretch😂😂

[@jessdryan]

@@ashleystahmertrue, but i know she went shopping in the store in one vlog and complained that there were too many people shopping there in the morning and said something about why aren’t more people at work. Pretty crazy how when she doesn’t have an actual job she clocks in at to make those statements and uses pickup for “convenience”

[@jessdryan]

@@jessicaslattery5024if you say so. Her using pickup at all is pretty bizarre when she has all the time to do her own shopping. No kids, no 9-5 type job…but I guess that’s a stretch too 😂

You can chop the garlic easier if you smash it with the side of your knife. I was getting worried watching you chop as the cloves rolled all around 😂

Where did you get your kitchen island chairs??

[@catieboroff9826]

Love the new pillows on the couch! And the brown match Bruno too!

[@allysonmote5801]

When you’re in the car updating us before Trader Joe’s, I swear Bruno is in the back seat watching you and listening to every word you say! It’s adorable!

[@ZorayaColonCamacho]

Did you ever tried the Temu Stanley water bottle dupe that you bought? I’m wondering if its worth it

[@bethrocks]

Pro Tip - Put Brunos lick mat in the bath tub (on the side, since there are suction cups) so he will be occupied while you bathe him!

[@katz734]

@bethrocks • Sounds good in theory, but I think it would be more of a hassle and more work and mess. You would be putting in something that makes a mess in the shower and on Bruno. You can’t give him a good bath if he’s at the opposite side and water going everywhere and especially in the lick bowl. And the treats would be going down the drain and all over. His face would be a mess and potentially his paws. So sorry it’s a big no for me, but great thought. 😬

[@cassiopeia3336]

@@katz734 I do it with peanut butter on a suction cup mat during baths and it’s literally not messy at all and my pups love it 😊

[@GerynSloane]

Recipe or link to it?? Strawberry Girl make up looks incredible!! Now you've made me hungry! LOL

[@ohaiberenice111109]

Bruno is still young. If you’re firm and consistent you could probably get him to stop jumping on the bed/couch!

[@catieboroff9826]

Alex I appreciate you so much! Your morning routine video you did recently was so open and really helpful. What you’re saying is reaching people and making a difference and I just want to make sure you know that and know how much you are appreciated. Keep doing what you’re doing 🫶🏼🫶🏼 love ya girlie 🥰 and I love love love Bruno! He is the cutest boy in the whole world!! I can watch him play for HOURS on here lol

Oh and also how picture perfect was your doggie in front of the fresh pillows! 🤎🖤🤍

[@cheyennedelancey]

I loved the vlog it helped kick off the morning to a good start and hearing you talk about how your relationship with the gym changed it really struck with me and motivated me to change my outlook on working out and remain consistent. Random, If you put salt on the garlic after you mash it with the flat side of the knife it helps keeping the garlic from sticking to you and the knife 😊

[@kararodriguez9775]

I loved this vlog, it was so cozy! I do miss your Fabletics hauls, I love their workout wear. I also miss your Mom's watercolor paintings. I bought one of them, a pineapple, and it is my favorite.

[@eleanorwing6892]

I ordered the premier pumpkin spice protein shakes from Sam's club. The order came in today and I put one in my coffee this morning, and cozy season has begun 🍁🍂(even though it was 99🌡 😂) Love the vlog today! I think your flower arrangement is stunning!❤

[@harley143269]

[@l.seabury4112]

What? No tipping (the pickup) for the employee at/for Target (or any other store) that shopped & brought it all the way out to your car for you? Yet, you tip a waitress bringing food to your table.

[@nattyslife7479]

It is not the same person shopping for the groceries that brings the groceries out. Also it is target. They getting paid decent. It is not like a waitress is not getting paid a hood wage at all.

[@l.seabury4112]

[@l.seabury4112]

@@Rivergirl168 Absolutely, one can. Yes, it is very much allowed, should be as with any service. Corp & stores have no issues with it, so long as it is decretely given.

[@nattyslife7479]

Not everyone will agree to has to tip on target pick up. If whoever wanna tip on services as far as target pick up groceries. By all means yall go ahead and do it. And live yall life. Not everyone will. Also doing pick up will help just get what you need. Not impulse buy random things.

[@eyetwinkle]

get the chai drink with the oat milk and cold foam but without the brown sugar! Its still really sweet and yummy and will be easier on your stomach! 🩷

[@sharonhayes65]

I have my pick up order tomorrow. and, yes, I choose space 3 if not I get spot 2. I'm ordering my pumpkin coffee, pumpkin pie spice and pumpkin creamer so I can make my own concoction. I love your cooking moments. You inspire me to do something different. Thank you! ☕ 🍳 🎃

[@tammygozel7771]

Tip for garlic at target you can get it frozen and they just pop out what you need also can get onions that way cooking for two that comes in handy as then you always have them on hand and not wasting any.

[@haleymarie747]

I love when you cook and share meals! Also I go through the egg phase as well 😂

Try a little scoop of cottage cheese in your scrambled eggs, trust me! It doesn’t have that cottage cheese flavor but they are creamy, moist and stay fluffy! Also adds extra protein!!

You probably already thought of this, but maybe not? We put a washable blanket down on our sofa that is the same color. It helps keep the cushions clean from our dogs. We let them on the furniture too. I like the new pillow covers. Very Autumnal. I can’t wait for Fall.
