It's unREAL how disrespectful certain repair crews can be. My home used to have popcorn ceilings and I paid someone to come scrape them. They promised me they would tarp everything (I decided to stay with my parents while the repairs were being done) and one night I went to check on the progress and I walked in to discover that they had not tarped a SINGLE ROOM. Drywall dust everywhere.--like even inside my stove. And they acted like I was crazy after I didn't accept their solution of "vacuuming and dusting"

[@joannaspicer]

Omg!!!

[@allisonprediger2469]

oh my gosh!!!!!!!! i would have lost my mind!!!!!!!!!

[@abcdeninisse]

no this is particularly fucked up because it's very common for there to be significant amounts of asbestos in popcorn ceiling, that is wild to me!

[@clara10307]

omg so nerve-wracking -.- I don't understand why people become doctors if they don't actually wanna help.. very proud of you that you stood up to that woman! And really sorry that you had to go through so much crap the last week, I'm glad you feel better with your birth control now :)

[@Monicafool03]

Hearing you speak about the roof situation LITERALLY made me emotional! Like my home is my sanctuary, I can't believe they would disrespect your space like that. That's horrible. And as a neat-freak myself, I would have to remove everything and scrub everything down. WHO HAS TIME FOR THAT? ugh.

[@vanessavaillant6829]

mental breakdowns + online shopping = highly relatable content

[@bethanybrenton9241]

the way i was enthralled by this videoooo you're such a storyteller! also, I feel you on the migraines, I'm a chronic sufferer since I was a child and mine accumulate in the exact same areas - at the base of the skull and behind the eyes. misogyny in health care is so real and prevalent! you truly have to be your own advocate and fight for adequate care which is insanity and makes you feel crazy! I'm actually writing my thesis on this phenomenon cause it gets me so heated fr

[@RippedVans]

The number of times in a month i consider buying a Cefaly device is too many lol. My liver cant take any more advil, man. lol

[@samm4478]

This is so similar to every landlord and medical experience I have ever had. Sorry you are going through it. You are not alone.

[@virginiamcinnis6886]

“I’ve just hit a wall,” I appreciate how open you are and your sharing experiences with us. I’m sorry you’re going through that especially with a healthcare “professional.” You advocated for yourself and that’s all you can do! ❤

[@Anascissors]

Lately, I've noticed you are soo natural, good and organic with your ads. On all platforms. And not that many of them at all.

[@joannaspicer]

Thanks for noticing. I try to space them out when I can.

[@Spaghettigirl4]

This is like when a swarm of bees LITERALLY moved into my wall and fireplace and my landlord was like… just vacuum them up? A HUGE SWARM OF BEES….. like sure let me just grab my dyson!

[@joannaspicer]

Lol why are they like this

[@Rengels98]

I'd be so upset. You put so much effort into that space, and as someone who also loves their objects, I would've had a mental breakdown.

[@blinkur09mom]

I would be so upset too because I’m attached to my objects as well. Also she put alot of thought into the room decor, with the furniture and what not. My Aries rising would’ve been blunt with everyone involved. Totally not OK they’re all so nonchalant about cleaning the mess

[@MyMomentswithMom]

OMG Joanna.......when it rains it pours as the old saying goes. The house plus the doctor and everything in between, it's no wonder you were stressed. Those roofers were ridiculous. We agree......your landlord should not pay for the cleanup. That responsibilty is on the roofers! It's the worst to have work done on your house and the mess that comes with that! Please keep us all posted if you see your OBGYN and a neurologist and what they say. Sending well wishes your way on that! Glad some happy mail came for you to brighten your day! So glad you are planning your wedding......so exciting!! Sending big hugs!! 😍

[@alexishuckaby2926]

Advocating for yourself is so hard! You got this, keep up the fight for your health!

[@maddieroth3277]

You are so valid for all of this. I would have been right there next to you with how ridiculous the whole situation was!!!

[@lydiahenderson9950]

Standing up for yourself in a healthcare environment is so hard. Please give yourself a hug and a pat on the back.

[@SydneeyRenee]

GODDDDD Joanna this vid made me so infuriated for you I'm literally emotional.

[@Monapant]

I absolutely love you sharing your experience with different healthcare providers and how batshit frustrating it is.

[@mguilly]

God this was so cathartic. Screaming along with you

[@laughysaphy1835]

this video made me feel like you just called your bestie over cause you had A TON of tea to be spilled!

[@tabithajean247]

I have been sitting at my desk GASPING at my computer omfg I'm so sorry about all of this BS Joanna :'( I hope things get better!!!

[@syntaxthief]

I saw the title and was like surely not but wow yeah what a terrible string of events!! the feeling of seeing your stuff ruined is the absolute worst! cannot wait for that wedding content tho heheh

[@gaozy]

I watched to the end and you’re seriously so adorable 🥹 I hate to hear that you had to go through all that madness! Hope it’s only gotten better since! 🙏🏻💖

[@kristinamoen9183]

Doctors being assholes is one of my biggest pet peeves! The rage that builds inside when I’m talking to one is intense. Honestly makes me procrastinate that kind of thing. Such bullshit!! And those roofers are idiots! You should have been given a heads up to move things out if you wanted or at the very least given more help when realizing the roof was done wrong. I hope the rest of your year is smooth sailing 💕

[@DB-66]

I'm excited for your fragrance video!!!!

[@hattiemei25]

Loved the longer video format!!

[@AlinaRostova]

So sorry you’ve had to deal with all of that shit. It’s enough to drive anyone nuts, I sure as hell wouldn’t have been able to get through it without a meltdown or 2. Hope you managed to get through it! 💕 I do enjoy your vlogs 👌🏼

[@meganrusbridge8703]

Can’t wait for the fragrance video!!! 🎀✨

[@ridaaah]

I got so excited when I saw the maker scent! I just stayed at that hotel last month (and actually got engaged there!). It is such an gorgeous boutique hotel in upstate New York. They even have a little scent room where you can try all the scents, as well as the owner’s extensive personal collection of fragrances. Staying there was such a dream - I can’t recommend it enough!

[@joannaspicer]

Omg that sounds like heaven. Congrats on your engagement!

[@astridumanzor1102]

Joanna! Completely understand the migraines! Before, I use to get a 3-10 day migraine and over the counter medication would not work! I see a neurologist now and I take preventive anti-depressants every night and then Ubrelvy when a migraine is coming!!! I hope your day is better ❤

[@Leese3]

The landlord should’ve given you a heads up (48 hr notice) to move the cars and cover your belongings! That is so messed up!! ❤

[@oatmilkmakeup]

very excited for the fragrance video

[@r.c.3614]

From 13:59 - hilarious! Excellent story telling ❤

[@sarajaeg]

Girl. I’m not even done w the video and I never comment but…my jaw dropped when I saw your bed and closet covered in the construction debris, and the migraines and the mood…r u kidding? I would have driven off a cliff. I do not have the coping skills. I *fully get* how upsetting the home issues are and to feel crazy when nobody validates your feelings. And on top of that not feeling like yourself while you adjust to new medication and are in pain and yes, all of it. Don’t apologize for feeling any of it and I’m pissed that the roofer began by saying “you’re not going to understand any of this but…”. And I’m pissed at the doctors. Don’t apologize, don’t minimize how this has impacted you, and do whatever you need to do to get through this and feel okay.

[@allisonprediger2469]

I did the same! I never comment and I came to comment even before the video was over! I was thinking the same things you said!

[@daze2992]

That healthcare bit and having to fight to be taken care of .. I was just like yes !!!!! At the screen ugh so annoying having to deal with that. I hope you’re feeling better Joanna

[@jamesmowry8266]

I feel your pain regarding the roof. Just today, I had t to call roofers back for the 3rd time because I am still a have water leak through one of the bedroom ceilings. And, they have yet to repair the ceiling damage to the second and third floor ceiling. The roof was replaced a year ago in September. Ugh!

[@eda....]

the way you said 'you have to order toilets' cracked me up so hard

[@PleaseBePatientIAmOnly9]

Wow, your week sounds like my anxiety dreams. Be proud of yourself for getting through it 💚

[@vcr6854]

Omggggg!!!!! Unbelievable!!! I’d be so upset!!! I don’t understand the lack of like basic customer service?! And lack of basic respect tbh WTFFFFFFFFFF!!!!! I’m pissed off with you girl

[@scarlettwilliams1941]

Your medical story sounds so much like many of our NHS patients accounts these days. And our service is free! Unbelievable! Politics aside I absolutely love you, always have always will. Best YT channel I ever stumbled upon x

[@originalmatildafilms]

I am FURIOUS for you :( such a horrible situation

[@mkat4910]

i used to get migraines like clockwork with my cycle.. bc eventually got it under control but i hate hate hate how doctors treated me while i was trying to get help ugh

[@luciahajek1687]

Wow. Feeeeeelin for you ❤️ Glad hell week is over and perfume is the savior here. This felt like I was listening to my best friend, just wanted to give you a big ole hug. Ps, good on you for telling people what you need when they fuck up/ act up/ wanna play 👏🏼

[@lilliputianhitcher3808]

the migraine stuff sounds very similar to what i experienced- i experience hormonal imbalance and birth control made my life miserable and i get frequent migraines or tension headaches, and headaches around your cycle can be the first sign that you have either low e or high androgens

[@imathumb]

....you don't know how tragically accurately you just described my first few months of having a baby...i literally felt almost like a different person when i'd go to the apartment lobby ALONE...to pick up a package. it was literally my only time to myself for months. don't underestimate the power of a package pickup.

[@eleanorl2173]

So you had a good eclipse season

[@digitaldorothy]

I’m only halfway through, I just saw your closet and I’M catatonic!! 😮

[@jaelynpangman8154]

omg I’ve had hormonal migraines since I was 15 and I’m 28 now. Birth control pill made it much worse and I would have like 5 day long migraines before my period. The only thing that has truly helped my migraines is a preventative medication, I really hardly get them anymore and I used to be at like three a week lol. I’m so sorry I know how frustrating it is being in pain and not knowing how to help yourself or fix it ❤

[@BaileySuttonMusic]

I had a similar experience with migraines. They developed for me randomly two years ago and after taking notes on them I realized they always happened right before/during my period. Luckily right now when they hit it generally lasts only a day. I currently take birth control and have been wondering if changing or going off would help. Anyway, hope you find something that works!

[@lovelybrokenpony]

So sorry for all this!!! Horrible! Also i love your shirt, can you tell me where you got it? ❤

[@xokatieASMR]

omg Joanna ........ the roof....... you're a trooper girl I'd be having a breakdown too. So sorry that happened :(( p.s. lmk if you'd like an ASMR session to recover from the week lol 💗

[@tripppytea]

as a doctor I'm so so sorry for that entire experience you had. the healthcare system in the US is absolute trash and i promise most doctors agree and are just as horrified by it. most of us want to do right by our patients but the insurance mess in this country makes it so much slower and harder than it should be. good on you for advocating for yourself, although that's not something you should have to do. i hope the BC pill and new migraine med help get things under control! if you do start to notice any type of aura with the migraine though please stop the pill as migraines WITH aura can be dangerous on OCPs

[@SarahIsaack]

PLEASE fragrance video. i’m on such a kick lately omg

[@brodielancaster]

i would simply freak out

[@joannaspicer]

You know I have been babe 🥰

[@feliciaheykoop9696]

Since it’s your office and you need that space and the things in it for your income, AND you had no heads up, I think you could make an argument for a reduction in rent.

[@rachelwalters5067]

Yes I agree!

[@rachelholsonback289]

Oh my gosh that doctor story is so triggering-I’m so sorry

[@knitwearqueen]

Oh my God, I love your cats so much!!! x

[@krux3759]

Omg. I would’ve been so pissed. I’ve had landlords and contractors break my plant pots and once let my cat outside. I swear some people don’t have common sense or they just don’t give a fuck

[@jenniferdingle-ng2420]

I literally watched this video and started talking to you in utter shock as if you were sitting in my living room. I so feel for you! 😮

[@RosielovesNYC]

last 5 minutes are comedy gold.

[@1234a-n4y]

My sister bought a old house recently (I live with her) and she had it insulated. There was a hole somewhere in my room and everything (all my clothes, all surfaces, my bed) got covered in piles of insulation when they were blowing it into the walls. Insulation still falls out of the sleeves of my blazers when I unroll the sleeves 😫

[@joannaspicer]

Omg. You’ll be finding bits of insulation for as long as I’ll be finding little asphalt crumbs I think.

[@tara8257]

waiting with baited breath for your fragrance vid omg

[@isabellakoch5564]

I get TERRIBLE migraines but I've found that the book In The Flow by Alisa Vitti had some stuff that really helped! It's about eating with your cycle and stuff and I noticed a huge difference in my migraines since I started incorporating more cycle specific foods. ESPECIALLY salmon near my period. It's crazy, if I don't eat it I almost always get a migraine at the end of my period. I also used to have crazy heavy periods that lasted for like two weeks and that's sorted now. (Also I'm not on birth control because I tend to be a granola person and it makes me nervous but it is sometimes the only thing that works for ppl)

[@dgtlbby]

i could listen to this for another 46 minutes

[@carrieramsey7504]

That was a wild ride

[@paulag.9339]

GIRL try the laneige moisture cream lol i love that shit. also i legit almost had a panic attack when you showed the closet omFG. you're gonna have to wipe everything down..... it sucks. i hope they get it done!!!! they certainly wouldnt here in nyc lol

[@jessicadonaldson1951]

I swear you are my spirit person! ❤🤞

[@feliciamarie040]

I would’ve cried my eyes out 😳

[@ohhaicloverfield]

please I need a one hour video of you just talking to ur cats but from your pov so facing them at all times thanks

[@sillysnacking]

Yes to all of this! Not yes to it happening, but to how unfortunately relatable it all is. Had to find out the hard way that project managers for contractors literally do fuck all, and usually don’t show up with the crew. So the crew would just would ignore things that were important, like wiring things before doing all the drywall and then having to rip it all apart once we went to check on them, not knowing we should have apparently been watching them like a hawk the whole time🫠 Medical system too…to get to anyone specialized and to know the right steps to get there is like a board game from hell. One wrong turn that you couldn’t stop or anticipate and then “back to start” Watching your vlogs makes it feel like listening to your friend’s day and all the dumb ppl in it 💕 I hope everything gets easier asap!

[@r.c.3614]

It's such a beautiful house. You've made it look so so expensive & the layout is gorgeous. Is it a 1920s bungalow? I would be so upset if my belongings were being damaged like that.

[@vbradley1922]

LITERALLY my three cats anytime I need to wash anything 🥲

[@felicitycrow]

omg missed you

[@meepmoopmeep1]

Dang. Your title is absolutely not exaggerating- what an infuriating week! I am so so sorry. I would be crying for sure. I do have to say though, you are a phenomenal story teller

[@YouAreMyMuse4Life]

more cat content pls i love them sm

[@morganb9240]

Just had our roof done too, horrible experience, solidarity.

[@taneabree]

[@lavoixdevelours]

I think I found you through a perfume collection video. It was when you had TF Black Orchid.

[@joannaspicer]

Omg that was my signature back then

[@lisajohnson8911]

18:07 oh shit!

[@katieboyd150]

The fact that they didn’t give you any migraine meds is absolutely ridiculous!!!! Literally what is wrong with them. My doctors have warned me not to take ibuprofen too much for migraines bc it can lead to rebound headaches!

[@katieboyd150]

And the way that virtual doc treated you, holy crap!?! Truly horrendous. Good for you for standing up for yourself!!!

[@MarinaPlaisant]

I 100% get you with this construction/landlord stuff. I don't even want to recap what happened to me but: I feel you, ur not alone. Let's have a big cry together

[@emeichhorn]

MY OCD ASS WOULD DIEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

[@ThemilyCurran]

God I love you

[@allisonprediger2469]

So frustrating! All they had to do was tell you and give you a few hours notice and you would have covered things/taken things out. It's just basic human conscientiousness!

[@crushlibrary]

Whoa, this feels like a potential health hazard?! Maybe look at rental laws? Feels like contractors should have known better.

[@m_a_k_e_n_n_a]

GOD that's so fucking infuriating dude holy shit. Just the lack of basic respect for other people's property is wild!

[@missintentional4409]

How would you feel doing a video with all black make up bands ? It would be cool as a black subscriber 🤎

[@joannaspicer]

Weddings are such a racket!

[@Rengels98]

@@joannaspicer I've been planning my own for September 2023 and even though we have a smaller venue and under 100 guests, floral alone is like 4000 dollars. And that's Wisconsin prices 🙃

[@joannaspicer]

Look into wholesale flowers and doing arrangements yourself if that’s an option for you! Saves so much $$$

[@janaybridges]

Joanna! Birth control is just a bandaid fix and is causing so many more issues in the long term. Get the book Fix Your Period and look into eating with your cycle. That’s the best thing that helped my migraines and hormone imbalances
