Damnit guys, J&L are on to our American conspiracy to absolutely WRECK their health & fitness with delicious, gorgeous, sweet, fatty foods! DEPLOY CAJUN-CREOLE FOOD NOW! Look, look over here! Seafood gumbo, with prawns and crab legs! Shrimp etouffee, cooked in a beautiful French roux, served over rice! WEAPONIZE THE BREAD PUDDING, WITH BOURBON-TOFFEE GLAZE!!! GO GO GO!!! :D

[@Bozemanjustin]

100% grass-fed beef tallow.. melted in the microwave. Put just a tiny amount on your hands and rub them together and use that for your hair.. if the hair is still frizzy, do a little more.. less is more here unless you want to look like Elvis Presley. But when using the small amount, the hair does not look oily but rather all day conditioned Heavily oiling your hair before you go to bed and then sleeping in a bonnet gives the hair absolute smooth luxury as the oil had all night to soak in

[@marizensoul8410]

if you have really frizzy hair you may need a better conditioner, Biolage conditioner, its really the best.

[@bbranett2188]

Daft kids. Joel is a IS A fantasy boy. We alll want him

[@ElainetheGARugrat8815]

Exactly what happens to most of us here in America, you go in to pick up one item and leave with so many more than intended. Nice shopping trip!

[@shawnmarie459]

Yes! It's almost as bad as Costco (the $200 store).

[@rst.charles3908]

Exactly, Target got them in true Target fashion. 😂🎯

[@timriehl1500]

I had to laugh--"Don't buy that guys; but it you have it in your home, lovely" I HAVE IT IN MY HOME, LOL! Almost spit out my drink when he said that.

[@cavlizzy]

THAT is hilarious!!! :)

[@Montweezy]

So funny!

[@lorikisiel9367]

I remember when Target and Walmart used to let you try the electronics, but too many kids were on them all the time and going to inappropriate sites, so they had to put a stop to it.

[@NickBLeaveIt]

They still let you at most Verizon stores and Best Buys that I've been to.

[@alynag5332]

they still let you play on them here in california

[@iwouldratherbewithmydog]

Lia feeling up that mannequin was everything 😂

[@christinewright8670]

I laughed as well. And then I think she apologized to it didn't she? She said sorry mate 😅 after she lifted the shirt 😅

[@meajor7]

“I’m the kind of person that buys organizers but does an organize” Girl I have never felt anything more in my life 🤣

[@Spikesjade]

Same here!!

[@sharonharris9782]

Target is my place to go, walk around, buy Starbucks, and buy random stuff that I definitely don't need!!!

[@roseofmidwoodbrooklyn2414]

Target is the store that you never leave without spending $100. Target, Walmart are "big box stores". TjMaxx, Marshall's Home Goods are off price retailers who buy the end of season overstocks from Macy's, and other major retailers.

[@Wiley_Coyote]

I think you need to explain this to them. Okay, I will. Stores like Target have either house brands (often made to seem like nonspecific real brands) or gigantic quantity orders of regular brands. So they're somewhat cheaper, but not dirt cheap. TJMaxx and the others buy remainders, imperfects, overstock, etc. So indeed totally different.

[@BIGGER_RED]

You must be rich cause when I go I never spend $100

[@QuincyDisneyVegan]

Lia checking out the Abs on the mannequin is hilarious 😂

[@mermaid1717]

You can never be too bougie in Target. It's literally the perfect American store to be bougie in.

[@blackraven763]

How freaking hilarious it is to see Lia salivating after the store mannequin?! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 LMAO! Lia, you're too damn funny! Silly girl.... 😂 And Joel, with his anxiety while shopping... LOL! I love you guys... your humor is too cute.

[@bracejuice7955]

This is like the third time they’ve been to target “for the first time”

[@Inessence4]

The “biggest” one too😆

[@valcomments3045]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@MrWhoevr]

The first time in that Target. 😀

[@monica11760]

oh gosh your comment made me laugh!!

[@juliblued]

😂😂

[@MsMadmax1]

Lia, if you want organization you need to visit a place called The Container Store. It has every kind of container and organizational system on the planet. There are even classes on how to get organized in store as well as books and DVDs on the subject. You can go completely OCD in the store.

[@empowerinenglish]

Is this related to The Home Edit? I love that show!

[@cavlizzy]

All my makeup is "contained" in The Container Store products! Lol If you want to go really nuts.... you can pay $20 for a small roll of wrapping paper during Christmas there.

[@Allaiya.]

Yes, love The Container Store

[@songbird989]

Meanwhile at Target...While Joel is playing fashionista Lia is off feeling on the male mannequins! lol

[@libbyforsberg5316]

I've worked for Target for 16 years and this just made me so happy to see! We love Target! ❤️

[@michaelleary9233]

Sane here, I've heard they're taking over old Kmarts to expand, and I hope they do the one here soon. Got five Walmarts nearby, and I'd trade them all for one Target.

[@davemac5260]

You’ve been to Target for the first time like 5 different times.

[@Montweezy]

Should havel labeled it first Target trip in Charlotte! 😂

[@pxxxbxxx1981]

FYI, the loo at Target is usually by the entrance. At Kohl's, it's usually by Customer Service.

[@Eskimokisses5411]

Ahhhhh so triggered by them walking right past the $1 section 😱🤣🤟🏻

[@SP-fb7wj]

Me tooo!! That’s the best part of target

[@missymarriott8726]

Lia molesting the target mannequin made my day 😂

[@jeffbartholomew1152]

Lia handled this excursion like a pro. She was stuffed with sushi, wearing her comfy workout clothes and seemed to be unbothered af. 😂

[@goosebump801]

Greetings from Minneapolis, Minnesota, where Target is headquartered 🙋‍♀️ I still remember my first time in a Target, soon after moving here in the 90’s. I was amazed at the range of items available (as you commented on) and also the value (decent quality at a reasonable price - vs. WalMart, where things are cheaper in price but often low in quality.) I’m glad you enjoyed your Target experience! 💐💐💐💐

[@ltme4134]

So your stores actually keep stock right now or is it mostly looted?

[@susieb8661]

"Just be a boring basic bitch sometimes there's freedom in that" - Hilarious Lia and so true!! This needs to be on a T-shirt if it's not already.

[@Jen-zz7nv]

Love how Lia is totally checking out the mannequin. Ive never seen tri ceps like that ...I totes understand the fascination

[@maurapieper994]

Lia, that really is a good hair dryer you picked out! I'm on my 2nd orange one in 15+ years now. They last forever and do a great job drying your hair. Hope you 2 had fun! 🧡

[@CCrispyyy]

I also have the orange one! It has a lot of power!

[@maurapieper994]

@@CCrispyyy Yes it does! I’ve used my mom’s and my sister’s when traveling and I’m like nope. I have too much hair to be fiddling around with weakness 😂😂

[@robertsitch1415]

Washroom is a largely Canadian term for public toilet that is almost universally accepted in the United States if you want a polite term when you need to relive yourself in North America.

[@DarkWillUser]

I prefer "restroom".

[@treasuremuch9185]

I love watching you both shop together and commenting on merchandise.

[@akasbm]

A trip to Target is always a good time! I just love your friendship and how you crack each other up! ❤️

[@colinpate3059]

Joel, any color goes with black. Love this, my mom was an English war bride living in London during the blitz. My father brought her to a small farm town in Ohio. There are things you say that remind me of her, not just the accent. After sixty years in America, she was as English when she passed as she was when she boarded the little hospital ship to bring her to the U.S..

[@allisonb4020]

Target has its own clothing brands that they overhauled a few years ago. They’ll also do partnerships with brands like Levi’s. I think they’re a lot better now. I worked there for about 4 years!

[@halicarnassus834]

2:05 , Literally above the Hornets baby clothing are plush Basketballs 🏀 displaying the Hornets logo. Bless Her Heart 😂

[@pbtraveler694]

I totally felt Joel's stress there for a minute when he felt he had to choose a shirt quickly. I get it!

[@ThoseTwoBrits1]

such a panic buyer!

[@vivida8061]

I love seeing you guys in the wild, your comments are always on point 🤣 Lia did the hair dryer work for you?

[@chrisfortin4251]

Absolutely LOVE Target! We go there often, although ours doesn't have a wine section. Always lovely to see another J&L video. Thanks and enjoy your week! 😀💕🥂

[@Amagayle-vd6si]

Ooooooh Target 🎯 !! I love looking around at their store 🤗😍🤩

[@dtwolfe63]

I loved the content in this particular video. Do more of this kind. It's nice to see you guys actually take the time to shop with one another. I was thinking the same things that Lia was saying when Joel was freaking out while trying to find his sportswear...stop...breathe... Lmao 🤣 🤣 🤣

[@ryanoconnor2694]

The fun they're having! From video to video, you really couldn't imagine one of them without the other, lol.

[@3DJapan]

If you don't want to call it the loo or bathroom, call it the restroom. That is usually the official name in stores anyway.

[@adriannacasias8578]

I'm pretty sure they've mentioned in a video before that calling it a "restroom" is weird too.

[@triciacummings6694]

I have that same hair dryer and have had it for 3 years and love it! Even got my daughter the same one and she loves it as well!

[@BroadwayJJ]

Both of you have such a fun and upbeat energy. Your videos always bring a smile to my face. You are both delightful!

[@jediping]

“restroom” works for getting directions if you don’t want to use “bathroom.” :)

[@pbtraveler694]

I love Target. They stage so well.

[@moosetropolis9991]

Literally I haven’t been to target in YEARS because I always end up with a few… dozen extra things than I walked in planning to get. But like Christmas or Easter shopping, perfect one-stop shop for literally everything you’ll need.

[@stitchesbysue]

My home has been ‘Skandie’ for 35 years and my mom’s was before me. As they say things always come back into style if you wait long enough! LOL

[@derred723]

Did you notice in the kitchen section that we Americans actually have electric kettles??? Wow! I know!!! I kid but see if we made tea we could own them. (Sidenote Amazon has hundreds also).

[@on3andonlym3]

I have a hot pink electric kettle I just invested in off Amazon and I can’t believe I waited so long to buy one!!!! I adore it! Hot tea or coffee in half the time as a stovetop kettle.

[@marydavis5234]

@@on3andonlym3 I use my Kerig coffee maker to make hot water for tea and hot chocolate, it is hot in under 2 minutes

[@SonyaLCH]

I somehow have two electric kettles and a stovetop kettle and plenty of teas, loose and bagged. I aways laugh when they complain about Americans not making tea and not having kettles. I drink tea every day.

Loved it! Please do more like these

[@Retroearthling]

In California you have to pay for your bag. It is strongly encouraged in LA to use reusables. I thought the plastic bags were banned for a while here but i think they changed it to making people pay for it to encourage people to use the reusables.

[@grayblanchard]

I love the dynamic between you 2 much better now than when I started watching in 2019.

4:00, Never Rush a Libra into decision making. It's like Kryptonite 😂. The Libra, Female or Male must make a conscious choice in their own space and time unless you want an indulgent erratic shopping spree.

If you walk around Target long enough, you won't need to go to the gym! LOL!

That was a fun shopping trip! :)

[@rileyreed2230]

I love target! My best friend works at one, they literally have everything. It’s really distracting though when you go in there to just get one thing, but end up getting so many more things then you originally planned on getting. I feel like you could spend hours in there and never be bored or run out of things to look at. LOL 😁❇️👏💜❤️

First off: I love you guys! ♥️ Second thing is: Your content is really great! You two are so funny!

[@Retroearthling]

Restroom is considered a classier way of saying bathroom (when you're out in public), though bathroom is acceptable. It's funny when we are at home we say "bathroom" most times. You can say 'where is the toilet?" here and no one will be offended, but unlike in the UK it's a less classy way of asking. But we do refer to the actual toilet as the toilet hahahah

[@Dante1920]

That Target is crazy, it was like a Target, a bed, bath, and beyond, and a Khols shoved together into on massive building

[@rawilson7768]

I love Lia apologizing to the mani and after she groped it! LOL

[@clairerich]

“THE HORNETS” 😂😂

[@AyeeeItsCam]

I had teachers all through school that would tell us to use the word 'restroom' because there were no bathtubs or showers in school outside of the locker rooms 😂 But yeah, Americans def don't say 'loo'

I live in Florida and the frizz is Real. I dont blowdry anymore, add mousse and encourage waves instead. It can also make your hair look more full, a good thing!!

Lia, in the role of King Aragorn leading the charge against the Black Gate of Mordor: *"THERE MAY BE A DAY WHEN WE FORSAKE THE EATING OF MEAT AND DAIRY, BUT IT WILL NOT BE THIS DAY!"*

[@mrkmcdngh]

"There may be a day when I forsake the needless exploitation, violence, and killing of innocent, intelligent, and sentient animals, but it will not be this day!" Instead, evolve and live your actual values (that it's wrong to hurt an animal needlessly) Live vegan! If you wouldn't do it to a dog, why do you do it to another animal?

[@jamesradford6091]

The Charlotte Hornets is Charlotte’s professional basketball team in the NBA. The name “hornets” has historical significance that due to how hard Charlotte patriots fought against British rule, British General Cornwallis allegedly called Charlotte “A hornets nest of rebellion.”

[@jamesrogalski2085]

One thing you will eventually learn is to always carry a good flashlight "or as you call it a torch" with you, especially when traveling. I always have a LED Mini Maglite, flashlight on my belt. Power outages do not happen very often, but they do happen. A good LED Mini Maglite will cost about 20 American dollars and should last a life time as long as you take reasonable care of it. When I did missionary work in Israel power outages happened about twice a week.

[@KathySRW]

Here in Minneapolis, Target is my first resort for anything I need for my home. Minnesota has stricter alcohol sales laws than most, and our Targets don't have that wine aisle.

[@kelly1827]

There are NO alcohol sales in NJ outside of designated "liquor stores". Even a grocery store near me that wanted to carry alcohol had to put a separate entrance and wall it off so it became 2 separate stores.

[@logankerlee]

Tarjay!! Love it. I've called it that for YEARS! xD

Ahh Target. The retail destination of my people. Minnesota is the home of Target, the one I shop weekly is the first Target store ever. Some places now charge for bags, my home town started just recently, but the city I currently live in doesn’t.

[@robertschwartz4810]

It depends on where you live.

[@johnhelwig8745]

I just re-watched their Target episode when J&L visited Texas. It should be interesting to see how the two stores compare.

[@p0pp4]

The word you were looking for to stand in for "loo" is "Restroom" or "Toilet", either will work virtually anywhere in America. Also it was both fun and a little concerning to see Joel get overstimulated in the fitness-wear section.

I always get in trouble when I go to Target because I always buy more stuff than I intend to spend just like when I go to IKEA! It’s my Kryptonite! 😂 what I try to do to curb this habit is order stuff online so all I have to do is pick it up through the drive thru instead of going inside. Saves me time and money!

[@kanstrand]

Funny you wanted a US hair dryer, When i was in the UK for the first time 4 years ago, i brought a flat iron from the US to straighten my hair and a converter but it wasn’t the right kind of converter, so I ended up buying a flat iron in England for 12 pounds I think? Not sure I’ll ever use it again, LOL

My worst nightmare is going pee and the lights go out. When I volunteer at the food pantry our bathroom light is on a timer. So when you are in there too long the light goes off. So I usually have to go out of the stall with my pants down and wave to get the light to go on, hoping no one walks in seeing me with my pants down.
