VLOGMAS! decorating my office, xmas market & lazy dinners at home

[@imtaramichelle]

happy fridayyyy!!! what's everyone up to this weekend?! 💕

[@Mis-Mia798]

You should put photos from your overseas trips with your family in the picture frames

[@conniejohnsoncj8724]

Maybe buying the flame-less tea lights from Amazon to put in your houses to light them up?

[@krissyk354]

Happy Friday 🎄 Im staying mostly in doors this weekend. Personally dont want to be outside haha 😂

[@mariaoro8165]

You should read Fever Series by Karen Marie Moning! Great fantasy series!

[@bbbproductions7059]

I’m going shopping in Buffalo tomorrow! Looking forward to a Trader Joes haul.😍 Btw the cold foams are sold in Canada - you missed out on the pumpkin spice cold foam in the Fall- combined with chai was delicious!

[@livaallenn]

You NEED to read Throne of Glass! It gives you all the feelings and emotions. Truly one of the greatest series reads I’ve ever done besides ACOTAR.

[@Pitaluu]

Dude my sister has BEGGED me to read this series but I can’t get through the first book 😭 I think I got up to chapter 4 and then got bored 🧍🏻‍♀️

[@torigourley1149]

@@Pitaluu honestly keep at it! The whole thing takes a 360 on book 3/4 depending on the way to read and boy 😮 I tell you it is a journey that if I could erase my brain I would do it all again! Book 1-2 are really good once you get into it but trust the process and keep going

[@Pitaluu]

@@torigourley1149 Ahhh I’ll try again 🙇🏻‍♀️

[@Britteed]

I will never get over throne of glass!! My favorite series ever🥹

[@leahcasto7237]

I second this!!

[@RSkies]

"Hello John. Goodbye John." 🔪😱 early TVD hits so hard!

[@krissyk354]

Right? When katherine came into the season i felt the episodes got more interesting. Sorry elena - but she was so boring to me. 😅

[@ohsnapgirlfriends]

yay perfect timing i can watch while i have my tea and cinnamon roll ❤️ happy vlogmas!!

[@jamiemarsland3307]

Girl, it’s December!! It’s not too early for Christmas movies! Soak up that Christmas spirit while you can🎄🎅❄️☃️

[@erinr5848]

obsessed w your vlogmas videos ❤❤❤

[@cathymumper2126]

The houses came out so cute!! ❤ I think you should put the wreath between the windows. I noticed that you have wood trim separating the windows. I think it would look really cute. ❤

[@leeann1110]

Sarah’s extensions look SO good!!!

[@crystalwhaley2363]

YES on the wreath on frame and I think you should put some of your paintings in the frame. Would look great!!!

[@glimmersbytanya]

Wreathe with a big candle on a table would look so cute! I’m loving the 3 day videos a week… again! 🫶🏻

[@TerrinLF]

What about poinsettias mixed in with greenery with small pinecones in the office vase? A little splash of color and texture to also pull in the red/white pillow more! The little wreath - center of frequently used or viewed door like your bathroom in bedroom? or on the door to office with command hooks.

[@krissyk354]

Ahh gotta love the distillery market. The dior tree is so iconic. I remember i took tons of photos of it last year 😅 🌲

[@trishtrish5341]

Hi Tara - we have that cold foam creamer in Canada . I live north of Toronto, and just bought the Peppermint Mocha (it is worth a try!) and had Pumpkin Spice in the Fall.

[@lydiasmith3022]

the little wreath is super cute over the picture frames that will forever be the photos that came with the frame lol

[@jerzpyt]

The console decor is the best so far! Hope you enjoyed your time in London!😊

[@lydiafleming7669]

DYING at Sarah feeling herself at the Christmas walk in your viewfinder but no shade she looks awesome!!! LOL

[@zoylamartinez1150]

Loving vlogmas videos, enjoy your Friday 😊

[@rhondadixon1782]

I'm glad you got the deer for your decor,they are so cute and the houses look much better white,your home is looking so festive ❤😊

[@sherrysimpson4440]

Like the office looks! And all matches your vibe! And never to early to watch Christmas movies...

[@vickyhorbury7219]

The vampire diaries is truly the best show ever

[@ashleybeckner393]

ToG is THE BEST SJM series! You'll never be the same after reading it 💚

[@virginiakrueger4780]

A red ball style ornament in the bowl with the disco balls would look nice. Also you could use the wreath like a candle ring and put the vase that you are going to order branches for in the middle of the wreath.

[@malisehargrove8971]

Yes to Throne of Glass! It’s so good! Also yes to the wreath on the picture frame and add a lil bow for a pop of red!

[@jenniferhamlin5073]

That chicken wrap tastes even better when you heat it up. It has the instructions on the box there. Happy holidays!

[@kaitlynklein6294]

Be prepared for Throne of Glass. My favorite series and I think about it daily almost a year later. It has a special place in my heart.

[@trishah1108]

Your pink hoodie and pink pot!!! Love it five stars 💘💘💘💘💘

[@mariazwart3786]

Your little tree in your office would look so amazing with little christmas lights on them!

[@allisonfernandez4682]

I been watching your videos since I found you on tik tok back before covid with the crazy witch neighbor and I’m so happy to see you happy

[@pa-trycja]

I conned my husband into watching vampire diaries and the originals with me, this was during lockdown and I have so many videos of him yelling at the tv. Such a hilarious memory for such a hard time. I will rewatch those shows for the rest of my life. 😂😂

[@jordanhall517]

It looks sooo cozy. Have you thought about putting the wreath in your office in the middle of the windows? I think that would be cute. Also maybe get a power strip or extension cord for the tree in your office. Unless you have a remote to it that way you don't have to move the desk to plug it in or unplug it. 🥰 Other than that I love the decor for Xmas

[@Diana-qi9bh]

Me screaming hang the wreath in the window 🤣🤣

[@michellejozina]

Ohhhh, you should put some white lights in the tree in your office. That would give such good ambiance. 🤩💡

[@aygatto1]

They sell the cold foam creams at Wal Mart and Loblaws owned grocery stores in Canada!

[@trishah1108]

One day in December is a beautiful short read for Christmas!!!!!

[@ffionbartlett4600]

TARA!!! You neeeeed to watch Tell Me Lies!!! It’s the best show, gives the cliffhanger vibes we all want and love!! ❤

[@iluvdinonuggies]

Place some twinkle lights in the houses when putting them under the console table. As for wreath place a big candle in the middle and use as a table piece.

[@MyaESings]

I’m going to the Toronto Christmas market this weekend so excited to finally see the Dior tree !😍

[@MegaHannahBanana13]

Girl I am so excited for you to read TOG. It’s the first fantasy series I ever read and it is LIFE CHANGING!

[@purplepeople9298]

Tara try taco potatoes ( bake a potato when it’s done put all of your taco stuff on top of it and sour cream and salsa and guacamole and it’s so yummy

[@PatriiciaGoncalves]

Sometimes I watch that vlog when you come back to Canada after quarantining alone in LA, and I still cry every time when you see your parents 🥺

[@kaykovo1]

17:15 we keep ours up til Mardi Gras. We swap out the ornaments to Mardi Gras beads and mask. It's so fun 😆

[@leannedawnxo]

That cold foam stuff is here in Canada to!! I’ve tried it 🥰

[@nadiailmb]

Wow. Never been this early. Must be vlogmas cheers

[@Dezignr93]

Now I have to rewatch VD for the 5th time!!

[@coleXoxo8]

The show I go back too every few years is Grimm (currently on Amazon) . I love rewatching it. I still have the same reactions as I did before. The ending still gets me every time. Such a good show: highly recommend!

[@NicoleGallagherr]

I 100% agree, they don’t make TV like the vampire diaries anymore!! It’s my ultimate comfort show that I default to

[@curtismorgan9789]

To make a textured paint you can mix baking soda in with your paint. Gives a stone look

[@Twinklingstarsmoonshines]

If you have a dollar tree near you; they have the white lights that are batteries operated and they are tiny and cute. I used them for my fairy garden theme baby shower. Tiny space I had to put them in these jar type of things and they turned out great! Might be perfect for the little houses! 🏠🫶🏻💡

[@maddywheless8453]

You will LOVEEE Throne of Glass!!

[@erin07697]

25:05 I have that cup as well!! Safe travels Tara, enjoy the trip! ❤

[@Tammy-m5z]

Tara, I’m not sure how I found you but I’ve been watching for months now. Probably a Trader Joe’s haul though. We share a love of Trader Joe’s dumplings.😀 I’m much closer to your Mom’s age than yours (I have a 23 year old son) but I am so drawn to your enthusiasm for everything in life. As a much older adult, it truly inspires me to see the joy you get from the simplest things in life. I love to see the joy you get from your family, Brady, food, decor, and really everything in your life. Thank you and your Mom for sharing her health journey. I’m so happy that she is healthy now and recovering well. I also love to see your outings with your family and you working out at the park with your dad. So happy for where you are in life right now. You are getting to live some well deserved incredible adventures and obviously have a wonderful boyfriend you are smitten with😀 I watch a lot of you tube and can count on one hand the number of comments I left so that’s how infectious your joy for life is for me because this is definitely the longest. Your parents have done an incredible job!

[@itsshanmarie]

You can get the International Delight Cold Foam in Ontario, I believe Walmart and Metro both carry it

[@kellymorris5314]

When painting pottery, please look at stone spray!! Game changer!!!

[@RSkies]

"Because they paid a lot of money for it" has got to be one of the most Toronto-sentences ever 😂

[@krissyhotel7126]

You should move the little tree on your desk to the table in the corner. The one that had the books on it.

[@hannahleilani7951]

Loving these vlogs! Love from TX 🤍

[@Chickadee92]

You could also paint the houses to look like gingerbread houses. But at least this way you can still use them year round.

[@jcolorguard123]

I’ve been watching you for years and i always forget that you have a brother lol. Its never to early for christmas. Ive started my throne of glass journey as well! Lol

[@rhodebaas]

Did you switch from Kindle to Kobo or do you still use both?

[@alexainthesun]

Book rec: One Dark Window!! I'm halfway through (it's a duology) and wow dark magic, spooky, dark fantasy, castles, eerie mist and woods, its so good!

[@jessicam3772]

More is the best for Xmas!🎄

[@lisagustafsson339]

For me Throne Of Glass is so much better than Acotar so I'm sooooo excited to hear your thoughts on it!

[@shreyao5]

I agree! I never though i would say that and though I haven't finished TOG series yet (on book 4), I love the complexity of the story and the characters. I still rate RHYs higher than everyone else!

[@lisagustafsson339]

@ yeah the story is much more complex and so are the characters! I do love Rhys and I really love Nesta but my fave characters are in these books! You have so much ahead of you and I’m so excited for you!!

[@shreyao5]

I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend you start with Assassin's blade first. I made the mistake of starting with Throne of glass first ( after going off on what people said on Reddit) and then when the time came to read TAB, I was so BORED! Infact, you know how the book is going to end so I just wanted to get through it. Had I started with this book first, I would have enjoyed the main characters journey so much better.

[@1107red]

Wreath on the picture - yes!

[@elizabethratliff7143]

Omg ready for you to start TOG !!!!! I’m on book 3!!

[@itskristiialy]

Posted just in time for my lunch break! ❤

[@lauegg]

Omg perfect timing for me to decorate my house with this on in the background ❤️🎄

[@zarlishkhan5223]

i have noticed red color compliments u alot!!!!

[@yolandahoward1099]

The new mugs are really cute. Kudos to you on your office, decor. Sidenote/That was kinda funny 10:14. But.. you handled it well. I’m surprised you didn’t throw on some lip gloss.

[@danirose412]

I just finished reading the Throne of Glass series for the first time a few weeks ago and I cannot WAIT to see what you think of it!

[@caitlinbowers]

Just finished the Throne of Glass series this morning - a MUST read!!!

[@vivianrodriguez7782]

You should try to put the reef on the kitchen extractor.. maybe it could look cute there. Love from Puerto Rico❤

[@michelledelazzer]

Throne of glass literally has taken over my life. I finished it like 6 months ago and I still think about it all of the time! Mussssst read, please update us lol.

[@allesae]

love love love

[@lilysamuel7515]

I am on the last book of throne of glass. its amazing

[@AlexaGolden]

Definitely read Throne of Glass! It's sooo good. I still think I like ACOTAR a bit better because I am a sucker for romance and TOG isn't as romance heavy (there is still some and good slow burns hehe) but it is a commitment - I'm about to start the last book and it's taken me 8 months to get through them.

[@lynnemhall]

I’ll have a blue, bath, without you 🎵 🎶. Sorry, I couldn’t help myself. Must be the Christmas content. 🧑‍🎄

[@rosariodiaz2490]

You need to read the serie crave from Tracy Wolf. It s amazing ❤❤❤

[@lydiasmith3022]

What are your Top 10 Things To Do during the Holidays in Toronto?

[@kristinaomelchuk]

So sad about the lack of advent calendar this year. I started watching you when you did the matcha one and it was SO fun as a viewer and someone who doesn’t drink it, I loved the mystery. We were just as disappointed about the coffee ones as you were 💔

[@clisi27]

read throne of glass!!! please!! im halfway through it and am soooo in love🥹❤️

[@joannachiang1994]

The cold foam in a can is in Canada supermarkets as well and not just in USA. P.s. I love your videos.

[@kristinaiannantuoni6372]

Wreath in the kitchen!!! Either on top of your stove or on ur cabinet

[@stavriast]

Currently reading the last book of Throne of Glass and its a long series and some books are better than others BUT IT IS SO WORTH IT!!

[@melodyharris486]

You’re so crafty. Make tree ornament(s) - similar to your scrapbooking, to represent the year.

[@kianadabiran1561]

wow some persian words i hear at christmas tree pavement

[@petro3441]

Maybe the rieth by the window. And the small tree on the table in the corner where the books were🤷🤷

[@jangarr222]

I think maybe put the small tree on your desk in the corner where the books were ❤

[@sangavisivapalan2062]

where did you get your christmas ornaments from????

[@venusbucci4829]

Reef would look great where the picture is in your office!

[@vickiemouse2359]

Oh Tara💝 You are truly a precious young woman🥰 You’re so real and I adore you!!

[@mentaImissy]

Should put twinkle lights in the little houses :)

[@MissQuite]

Love your decor style. Put the wreath on the window?

[@ayem92]

Because you've already ready ACOTAR, I'd recommend reading Crescent City before Throne Of Glass

[@amyreewashington8066]

I have a tree in my bedroom it’s the perfect winter nightlight

[@MarvaloHP]

the way i RAN to target to get those christmas mugs 🎄☕️🏃🏻‍♀️

[@desireeariel7235]

I just finished Throne of Glass! I started Acotar when you did! Make sure you read Assassin’s blade first!!

[@_vivii]

If you still have that full length mirror there the wreath would look good on it :)

[@Warmbreeze43]

Happy day to you💕

[@meghana614]

the crescent city series by sarah j maas is awesome and not as long of a series as TOG
