A Weekend Home Alone | Vlog

[@carolinearmijo9]

I have one of those corner-cabinet-Lazy-Susan things and I have my appliances I don’t want on the counter: crock pot, instant pot, non aesthetic stuff ya know! Love the vlogs and you and the pups! 🐕 💖

[@ashleighlecount]

I agree the stuff you use semi-regularly but not enough to leave out on the counter.

[@dinosaurz87]

Hey Melissa! A tip for melting the butter: put a pot with water on the stove and when it comes to boiling you put a bowl with the butter above it (obviously the bowl should be something that can reach high temperatures). I think it's called water bath but i'm not sure. I don't have a microwave in my house but i'm totally fine with that! Have a nice day xx

[@katiie7]

Basic pantry foods are what we keep in our corner cupboard like canned food, protein powder, flour, oats etc. Ive seen others keep baking dishes & tupperwear. Basically anything that’s easier to access when its not stacked on itself

[@courtneyp1578]

Hey Mel! We keep small appliances that we use often, but not everyday (things you wouldn’t necessarily want sitting on the counter) such as a coffee grinder, toaster, food processor etc. Easy to access and close by!

[@klmboz]

OH TIP! in that white cupboard in the laundry room under the bug spray you should make two backpacks for emergencies filled with batteries, canned stuff, flashlights, first aid kit etc etc etc, my mom always made sure to have a few kicking around the house!

[@brinoelle88]

I keep all my baking and spices and oils in my lazy susan because it’s right next to my stove. I also have smaller lazy Susan’s inside for my spices and then I put all the bigger jars and boxes facing out so when you spin it everything faces you 😊

[@erikabarksdale5896]

I use my lazy Susan for seasonings. Definitely like the gold knobs better for the cabinets in the kitchen

[@Styledandorganized]

If you already have a place for everything in the kitchen, I would use the lazy susan for a baking station. All things baking can go in there and that’s always so fun :)

[@woxx435]

Get a butter dish and leave a block of butter in it out on the counter or somewhere. It lasts a LONG time out of the fridge. I've always grown up having a butter dish out that is always soft.

[@amberleden]

My corner cupboard with the lazy Susan held my Tupper ware so it was less of a habit to throw things around and keep it more organized because it swivelled easily!!

[@anniebanana3698]

Since you asked, I actually have to agree that the clear soap dispenser somehow just suits the bathroom better. I found replacement heads for my soap dispenser at Bed, Bath and Beyond but it just so happened that it matched perfectly with what I have and I'm not sure what kind of variety they sell. Amazon would probably be your best bet!

[@saraawagnerr]

those corner lazy susan cabinets are great for tupperware and like togo containers, that way you can see all of it and reach everything. it helps me a lot with not losing the matching lids haha

[@JMTan-dh2sv]

Would love more dog videos/advice on training Tika and Darla. They're so well behaved!

[@ambermeyer9655]

With regards to the snake plant I would repot it into new dry soil and then just leave it the roots to dry for abit before watering it again

[@doodjordan3940]

i cannot live without your Videos Mel ..love you sooo soo much.. your videos so inspiring ..i always wait for them .. i learnt so much from you ..

[@jannahj.3245]

To soften butter, I boil water and pour it in a cup or pot, and then put the bowl of butter over mug or pot and it melts it within 10 minutes (depending on how much you’re using)

[@alyssastinson685]

The corner cabinet for me in the kitchen was always used for snacks growing up🤷🏻‍♀️

[@kaemannirpos]

HI, the lazy susan cabinet, we used that space for spices and such, but i have seen people use it for extra pots

[@janniefroehlich2011]

we keep all our pots and pans in our corner cupboard. it's very practical

[@rachaelclaire4389]

I use the lazy susan for pots and pans!

[@jazzyjones2432]

in the lazy susan we put our small kitchen appliances there like blender, mixer, sandwich griller cause it’s so easy to get them and keeps them off the counter

[@makeupp365]

GOLD KNOBS !!!

[@erikaamarie123]

We keep cans, pasta sauce, rice, etc. in our lazy Susan. Or I’ve seen people keep pots and pans in there too

[@sarahf8521]

They can probably see the orange one better when playing!

[@taylorrsebastian]

My old apartment had the lazy Susan and I loved it!!! I just moved into a house and now I don't have one. I used it for all my baking things! Sugars, all the flours, baking powder, anything in bags really haha

[@bhatta2]

corner cupboard - SPICES!!!

[@noemieh-d9688]

I use the corner cabinet/lazy Susan as additional pantry space, mostly for canned goods and spices!

[@msmintygreen]

I like the more traditional silver and clear glass soap dispenser. Suits the space more I think. It’s so cute that you got his car detailed. I did that a few years back. I took it to the dealership and it was a small fortune. They did a great job though.

[@mimii3187]

Looooove your vlogs...I keep jars of rice, flour, sugar. Tuna cans or other food cans, pasta boxes. It can hold a lot if well organized and easy access too 😊

[@jethicaa]

use the lazy suzanne for canned foods, baking stuff, spices. they’re round so they fit better.

[@cookiemonster1871]

To the people reading this: have a wonderful day and stay safe during these hard times 🧤😷🙏 Have a cookie to feel better 🍪

[@themakersjournal]

I’ve softened butter before by heating up the bowel/Pyrex jug first in the oven, then putting the butter in there. The bowl will be cooling down when it’s out of the oven so it won’t fully melt the butter, just soften it 😊

[@Alena23bloom]

Literally got on KZbin to look see if you posted anything 😆🥰

[@lisa-marleenmolk1392]

Blue is the easiest color for dogs to see. Mine has a hard time finding the orange one, too! She only uses her nose finding it. :)

[@Bellepepperr]

Cant wait for your recipe book!

[@Angelapeace23]

I use the lazy susan for easy access to pots and pans

[@Th3h3kka]

Those corner cupboards we have stocked with a crap ton of tea and coffee stuff, sweetener. Honey.

[@samanthadidion]

watch The Home Edit on Netflix for GREAT organization tips and tricks! (its sooo aesthetically satisfying) also, we keep spices and canisters on our lazy Suzan.

[@hayl97]

Spices in the lazy susan cupboard!

[@taylorsharp7544]

You could put either canned goods in there or make it a little coffee station

[@ksartbaeva]

I definitely like the old soap dispenser better but those kind of pumps are known to break faster 😥 but thank you for sharing my dear i love your doggies! Darla is so playful lmao hugs from Denver Colorado!

[@jessiebosley1243]

Snake plants don’t need a lot of light and only need water every 10 days! It should bounce back just don’t water for a bit

[@smilemiles21]

I like the gold accents, but I almost feel like black would match everything else in the kitchen better. (Like the counter tops & the fridge handles). The house is looking really nice though!

[@EmmettDoesStuff_YT]

Put your cold butter in the microwave on the defrost setting for the lowest time, and check it after 25 seconds...usually perfectly soft.

[@Ye0wYe0w]

Melissa would you please share your recipe for the banana bread? It's totally vibing with my Fall cravings...

[@aylaruby2376]

We have a Car hammock, it's Amazzing! We only use it when we take our fur baby to the beach though ☺ As our Mitsibitshi Triton ute has car seat covers on them they are water proof also the best thing we have ever brought! 🌟 🌟 You look Gorgeous ♥

[@crista3543]

Baking supplies for corner cupboard

[@LauraDeconstructed]

I’ve got one of those lazy Susans I keep all my snacks in there, and breakfast stuff like cereal! I’ve always struggled to figure out what to put down there too

[@Siiilvi13]

You definitely have taste! I love every item you purchase! For the soap dispenser, the old one could be used for body cream maybe? Or anything you use daily, so you can keep both!For workspace organization check Alexandra Gather she’s so inspiring! ❤️

[@kristeniswhite]

We have the same lazy Susan like that and we keep all our cleaning products in it!!! :)

[@ashleymbelle]

pots in the corner cabinet with lazy susan

[@Megpill]

Fix your old soap pump; it has a nice classic look

[@jerseyshoremm]

I would keep the jugs of like oils and vinegars and spices on that lazy Susan :) even maybe baking supplies like bigger things of flour and sugar etc. that way cabinets are free for cups and plates and things

[@clairemoorhouse5429]

We keep our air fryer, mixer, kettle, and slow cookers in the lazy Susan

[@tristamclemore7122]

The lazy susan should be able to hold canned goods, pasta sauces, etc!!! ✨

[@Alexhaskins]

Can you link the banana bread recipe?

[@katrinacool]

Small appliances on the lazy Susan

[@valentinacamposano3798]

I love love love your Vlogs🥰🥰

[@AmyMettes]

Strange question but does anyone know where she got Tika's pet bowl from? :)

[@kasseyjohnston4756]

You can put Tupperware in the lazy Susan cabinet

[@Forever01294]

We don't have a microwave either, didn't want the radiation -- we use a convectional mini oven, works great!

[@cloud90000]

I'm sorry to tell you this koala, but the radiation is the same

[@lexi1916]

I keep my all my spices/oils/baking stuff in my lazy Susan

[@nicoleho3366]

I love your video & love u😊❤️

[@kasiowelove1]

I’ve been living without a microwave for ten years now and I don’t feel like I’m missing something 🤷🏻‍♀️ Also, I keep all my pots, frying pans and bowls in my corner cupboard :)

[@lifestylewithleira]

Dogs are actually pretty color blind and it's difficult for them to see the color orange. But they see blue really well which is why they were probably only playing with the blue one!

[@saandycheeeks]

What color do you normally get for your Shellac nails?

[@ΚατερίναΖερβοπουλου]

Υοu can also melt the butter οn the stove , I do it all the time:)

[@danakruse9171]

The reason the dogs do not touch the orange one is because dogs have trouble seeing the color orange!!

[@lacie3520]

Dogs actually do see color. They just don't see as many as we can. Humans are trichromatic, meaning we have 3 types of cones in our eyes, and that's where we get our 3 primary colors: red, blue and yellow. Dogs are dichromatic, so they only have 2 types of cones and only have 2 primary colors: blue and yellow.

[@nicolechristinemoore]

soften the butter in a small pot/pan on the stove :) lol

[@joannechoy9805]

banana bread recipe please!!!!

[@megginfrazier8978]

y’all make me feel so overweight using your lazy susan cabinet for spices, pots, and tupperware. ours has always been the cereal cabinet hahaha

[@asianbaby2984]

cool video, you deserve more subscribers!

[@sabinapucarevic]

Where's that striped tee from??

[@niushataji]

New video 🥰🥰

[@pareenapadiyar]

11:04 is so me 😹

[@LadyProsper]

Where do you take your car for detailing?

[@niushataji]

Yayyyy

[@katherinewalsh7179]

I keep mixing bowls, cake pans, strainer- stuff like that in the corner lazy Susan

[@lexj5186]

Can food in lazy Susan:)

[@samiaakthar7219]

Omg I can already tell there is a energetic shift when you’re filming. I feel like you’re more yourself when Your boyfriend isn’t around. Not to say it’s a good or a bad thing but I’ve been watching your blogs for years now and I feel like in this video you’re being more of yourself when you used to live in your apartment. 💜

[@quaseglam]

I disagree... I`ve been watching her for years and to me it just felt like she was excited to have some alone time. Everybody is like this! Her and her boyfriend seem to be very good friends and always seem relaxed around each other. Anyways, my opinion!

[@chupaxf]

This comment is kind of rude. Mel is great with or without others.

[@samiaakthar7219]

Elle Chupacabra like I’ve said it’s not a good or a bad thing, it’s just a energy shift which I appreciate also I think this is totally normal for someone to be more creative when they are spending time on their own energy

[@sebnemkorucuoglu3641]

What is your hair color? I love ıt ❤️

[@lisastjohn5075]

Don’t get a microwave, not only is it worlds ugliest appliance but also horrible for you. To melt anything just do it in saucepan on low....will take only minutes 👌🏽 #teamnomicrowave lol

[@vimiization]

loved the pointless vlog!!

[@nelemertens5147]

What's your banana bread recipe? :))

[@constanzamauhum1270]

Golden are better than silver ones

[@susiemeri4260]

You Can use Code Before Buy BBA6101

[@honeypotfilms6066]

yay I’m early!!!

[@sherrysimpson4440]

Yayyyy I'm early😊

[@harpreetsaran3858]

which leggings are you wearing here?

[@dominikakras-tp8xv]

I know that you can put tampons in the soil overnight. And dont water it for a month at least! 15min is the best length when it comes to vlogs in my opinion :)
