[@Alexandria-Ryan]

Hey guys! Today we are unboxing the non-sponsored version of the FabFitFun box. I feel like I was trying to pick different things to show variety in my unboxing but I think I might have picked wrong 😂 I would love to know what you guys think of this box! Love ya💖

[@dixierae3442]

Hi Alexandria. My hear goes out to you and sweat Taters. My Big Boy Luke has struggled with horrendous itching in between his toes. This last year it has been relentless. He sleeps with me and both our sleep has become limited. I'm hoping the spray you have been giving Tater has offered some relief and you would kindly share the name with me.😊

[@MellaYellow]

I love all of the items in your box. 💗💜💙 I think I will order some Sassy wolf for mine. You are very fun to watch I'm glad I found you. I'm sorry your baby has seizures. Give them babies some love from me!

[@user-qd9fd4kc4e]

That blanket is actually amazing

[@Devvv422]

That blanket is beautiful! Maybe gift it as a christmas gift 🤔☺️

[@scallopbunny]

The blanket could be a car blanket! Always a good idea to have a car blanket if you live someplace where it gets cold

[@fiercest_calm]

That is a great idea! Just keep it the back seat for emergencies. Maybe use while car is heating up, maybe? Certainly if it's cold and your car breaks down, while you wait for help.

[@TheMareasolmage]

I had two car blankets because my child would always use one.

[@TheMareasolmage]

​@fiercest_calm if you can find a Pendleton store(mostly a northwest store) you can find wool throw blankets and those are the best for winter car warming mornings.

[@kudzu_]

I'm glad I read the replies because I was sitting here thinking y'all drove around wrapped in a blanket.

[@fZM0OY]

She lives in Kentucky lol it doesn’t get cold really

[@jenniferdevinney541]

When our younger dog (named Scooby but affectionately known as Chunk) wants the bed or place that our senior dog is in he will sit on him until he moves. We call it "Chunking him out".

[@Alexandria-Ryan]

😂😂 that’s so funny!

[@tracyfrederick5606]

Susie nags and whines and stomps her feet. She's a staffie and a diva.

[@Katiesue04]

My dog was just diagnosed with Epilepsy too. I am grateful you shared your story because it helped me rmain calm when he was having a seizure.

[@lindasadler6338]

Me too! Except my situation is our cat. I knew what to do because of Alexandria’s videos!!

[@LoveK1]

Why do y’all make these weird comments? Who cares?!

[@Katiesue04]

@@LoveK1 because it's better to spread positivity then negativity. You should try it sometime. Her videos and her talking about it made a difference in my life.

[@fiercest_calm]

​@@LoveK1you're an idiot. Oh look, negativity does catch on!

[@boogiebear3095]

Best wishes for your furry pals

[@kathryngray546]

The puppies get me every time 😝 they’re wonderful co-hosts ❤

[@Alexandria-Ryan]

Haha they are the best co-hosts I could ask for!

[@fiercest_calm]

​@@Alexandria-RyanI just love 'um!

[@perpetualsunshine6035]

They are so snuggly with each other 🥹 It's so precious

[@mquentaro]

Here's a tangent. Currant flavours are a lot rarer in the northern US than in Europe. Because currants are European, they came over with the later settlers. But then it was discovered that currant bushes could get contaminated, carry over and transmit rust disease without dying, which was a big problem because the local lumber trees had zero resistance to rust disease. So the currant bushes had to go. Thus americans aren't used to the sour taste of currants and it's a rare flavouring to find.

[@mormornie]

ohhh thanks for the info! and it's such a shame, black currants is definitely one of my favourite flavour!

[@twistedfrannie9311]

And then there's my yard in Canada, black, red and white currants, lol.

[@xChijouChanx]

And we generally have grape flavor instead which is awful :( i hate grape flavor

[@WillSing4TP]

I have learned something new. Thank you!

[@lelalu101]

Black currant is like a Tart Blueberry to my taste buds. I love it!

[@shannonashleys]

I got that blanket for my daughters room for Christmas! She’ll love it! Also the reason you may see darker circles is there’s an ingredient called prostaglandins in lash serums like grande lash and new studies show they can make you lose the fat under your eyes. If you’ve used the serum in the past and noticed this happening, that could be the culprit. So beautiful full lashes with dark circles or no lashes but no dark circles?! Quite the conundrum lol.

[@briannabrezine8273]

I used to be a huge grande lash girly but I started using the lash serum by The Ordinary and I love it! A fraction of the price and I personally think it worked the same for my thin baby lashes!

[@jenniferp7497]

Tried this box a couple of years ago. The thing as you get older, most of what they offer is the kind of stuff you've received/bought 20 times in your life and have subsequently donated 19 times. When I opened the box, all I saw was a future trip to Goodwill.

[@samdp42]

I do this too. I imagine where it will sit, mostly unused, and then mentally put it in my donation box

[@TheMeganExperience]

100% agreed! Which is why I’m here, watching her unbox 😂 it’s fun to watch but most all of the stuff is destined for goodwill or the trash.

[@melissataylor1831]

Omgg, the head tilt and laying directly on top of his brother was EVERYTHING!

[@charrisenewkirk5393]

Alexandria is all of us. “I’m going to stab it with a spoon!” And everything with the knives! I’m here for it, and I absolutely love your videos!

[@fiercest_calm]

LOL!! 😂🤣 I think she's hilarious. I'm here for it too, all of it!!

[@tanteem]

My 84-year old mother steals 1 thing from every FFF box I get. Last time it was the timberland scarf, this time it was the Free People blanket. She uses it like a lap blanket.

[@RandomFandomDragon]

aw, that's kind of cute. Do you plan stuff for her to steal, or is it just random?

[@NorseButterfly]

The blanket is the perfect size to keep in your vehicle! We should all have an emergency kit in our vehicles. The cheese knives are nice! Make sure you hand wash them and dry them instantly. Water spots are a pain to get off.

[@doedarling1215]

Blankets that don't match my home I use as car blankets. I have one that I use for picnic concerts, and one that covers the back seat.

[@jenn-k-h]

I love watching Tater and Wren in the background 🥰 I hope Tater is feeling better now ❤

[@photogbrandie5744]

Poor little Tater! Hope he goes a long, long time without another seizure. That blanket is amazing. Whoever buys it from your Poshmark is going to be so lucky. Rainbows and lots of color are my jam!

[@rondaperron2056]

Loves seeing the puppers and I'm glad Tater is ok. The blanket might be great to keep in your car. I always keep one in bagged up in my trunk as a "just in case". It was super handy when we had -40c temperatures and had to go out.

[@RandomFandomDragon]

I would not have thought of this! That does sound like a good plan.

[@boogiebear3095]

I need to start having a blanket in the car again

[@lelalu101]

I live in a hot asf climate but sometimes a blanket is nice to have hehe

[@aolsweetsew]

That blanket doesn't scream winter to me. It seems like it belongs in a summer box. Thank you for more smiles.

[@rosemarybelore6622]

Thank you for the Tater update. So sorry he had another seizure this morning 😢 My younger dog Bear is such an attention hound that he will walk on top of the older dog to get me and even sit on his head hoping he’ll move for him! Of course I move Bear but he just comes right back each time till poor Finn just gives me a long suffering look and moves. These youngsters today have no respect for their elders lol Loved when I got the notification that there was a new video from you. Made my day. Love watching you and your fur babies ❤

[@Destinyirus278]

Omg I had the exact same experience with the grande lash serum it’s like a miracle serum.. at first I thought influencers were just hyping it up cuz it was sponsored but no it’s really amazing. I got like a mini size in one of these boxes I used the serum for like 1 month & my eyelashes were growing so much that I had to stop using it. Like it was an insane amount. I’m like this stuff is really a miracle serum I was shook! Idk wtf it’s made out of but it really works, almost works too much lol 😂

[@Sandusko]

Okay; the lash serum works great. So does their brow stuff. But there is an ingredient in there that can cause some undesired side effects. They say that it can cause orbital fat loss. I’m 56 and I did notice some changes with my eyes after using it a year. Now I am using The Ordinary, which probably isn’t as good, but it doesn’t have that bad ingredient in it.

[@lottiebirdie]

Exactly. It’s prostaglandin based which is what causes the skin color changing too. It’s not a bad ingredient but can cause orbital fat loss, which may also contribute to the appearance of dark under eye circles

[@Sandusko]

@@lottiebirdie my optometrist noticed changes within my eye, but I cannot be for certain that it was from this product. I’m not taking anymore chances. It’s a bummer because that stuff does wonders for your eyelashes.

[@mirandacoulter888]

Prostaglandin analogues can also turn blue eyes brown (maybe green, too, but I’m not sure on that one). It’s rare, but that’s a chance I’m not willing to take.

[@WillSing4TP]

​​@@mirandacoulter888Same here. I'd have to reverse Crystal Gayle's song 🎵 Don't it make my blue eyes brown 🎵

[@Queenofcats36]

This should be up the top. My dad had to take drops for glaucoma, and it's the same thing they use in the lash serums. It's caused orbital fat loss, and discoloration.

[@fone9665]

Erm, the cheese knife that looks like a 🐌 (?) is a cheese knife You cut your cheese, with the blade, then spear your cheese, with the pronged end

[@WillSing4TP]

That's my favorite kind of cheese knife, slice & stab. 😋

[@luanncrownover4]

Might make a great car blanket for the dogs!

[@karaleecupcake]

I got a trial pack from Waterdrop that had 6 different flavors, and most of the flavors were just okay. There was one flavor that tasted like grass, and I haven't bought from them again. The blanket looks so soft, and it would definitely fit in at my parent's house! My mom has a purple wolf comforter that would go well with the stripes of the blanket!

[@ghosty4]

I don't usually like water additive products but I LOVE waterdrops!

[@amandagreen4332]

Elderflower is a lightly sweet citrusy taste. St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur is lovely, and IKEA has a nice elderflower concentrate.

[@lindasadler6338]

The cheese knives are something that I would like to have, but wouldn’t buy myself. So, nice to get in a subscription box!

[@CobaltDawn]

That blanket did look like it had that texture of that one blanket all parents in the 90s seemed to have and have to pull out for sleepovers and you had to use it or find a pillow to cover up with

[@MySavingGraceXO]

I love the pups in the videos and how much you love those babies 😊

[@mrsbinkbonk]

I’m waiting to see the cheese knives used as an advent calendar opener.

[@amberroseknows]

regarding lash serum, i heard you gotta be careful cause they don't actually make your lashes grow, rather they shrink the fat pad of your eyelid skin, making your lashes appear longer. that could be only certain ones, i think its the ones with prostoglandin. so just be careful to check ingredients, don't be dissolving your eyes (:

[@WillSing4TP]

You're right, Grande Lash uses prostaglandins, which can cause eye color to darken, & darken the skin around the eyes.

[@cassmacdonald-perfectlyimp2486]

Cheese knives - that shovel one is for Stilton and similar. The little points are kind of to spear the little bits of cheese to move it to your own plate. I think the more rounded one is for very soft cheese

[@Lisa-je5bb]

I would use the round one for a delicious warm stuffed brie with raspberry sauce

[@WillSing4TP]

​@@Lisa-je5bb🤤

[@heatherrembe2854]

Omg the little Tator whimper ❤❤❤

[@SussexSandra]

I bought those water drops because i don’t drink enough water… ever. You had exactly the same reaction i did. The cubes don’t dissolve completely & takes forever! The flavours are very weak. I found them all rather blah 🤷🏽‍♀️ Ended up buying sugar free squash at a fraction of the cost of Waterflops. Squash works perfectly for me. Squeeze a small amount into glass, add water and I have a large glass flavoured water which tastes perfect for me. Didn’t but Waterdrops again 😅

[@vnokesCO]

I missed the customization window this time, so I'm super curious (& a bit wary) as to what I'm getting. Thanks for posting 2 reviews on it, so I at least have some idea.

[@GlamourNNail]

I have a soft blanket problem too. Lol I swear every year I buy one at Costco. But now all of my kids have one on their bed, my husband and I each have our own and there are multiple in the living room and family room. I'm not promising that there won't be another one coming home before winter is over. So, I definitely understand the spell that soft blankets van put you under.

[@KinniMoo]

Omg the boys fighting over one bed is 24/7 with my boys Moo and Kin 🐈🐈

[@margieryne6220]

Aww, so sorry to hear Tater had another seizure!🥺 I was laughing out loud at your boys!😂 You had me laughing too & I don’t like the blanket either & especially the price! I pray Tater will be well for the Holidays as well as you! Well sweet girl I’ll see you next time! Sending prayers, love & hugs! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🐾🐾❤️

[@merrymarymaker6193]

I was a bit disappointed in the choices for the winter box. Normally, the Christmas season box is awesome. This year, I wound up with a set of hair clips as one of my choices.

[@cathygordon7668]

Use organic castor oil to grow your lashes!

[@tiffanyhernandez206]

Yay!!! Another video. I get excited for these

[@meganlovesdisneyandcrafts4780]

Sending love and hugs to you, hubby and the puppies 🫶🫂

[@nessaviki5954]

You are so fun to watch just because. I know a lot of fans watch just for you.♥️♥️

[@award112]

Love the blanket! So cute!!

[@silylily1212]

You are so delightful and such a good pup mom😊

[@Chrissy85308]

You could put the blanket in your car. You should have a blanket in your car in the winter in case you break down. It would work great for that. You could also save it and give it as a gift to someone who likes those colors.

[@kk261985]

I love the waterdrops! 😊 makes the water tastier.

[@ricequin]

Blackcurrant is a very common fruit in the U.K. they are very small and very dark purple (almost black in some cases). In British sweets it’s the most common flavour of purple sweets (we don’t really have grape flavour). I believe it’s illegal to import blackcurrant plants into the US because of a disease they can harbour that was deemed a threat to agriculture.

[@Altairethayze]

I'm so eagerly waiting for the PLouise, but it hasn't even shipped yet.

[@yariroda9675]

I would LOVE that blanket💖

[@tammraakhimiona768]

I’m so sorry he continues to have seizures. My West Highland Terrior had them the last 2-3 yrs of her life and it always hurt my heart. They’re so precious & sweet to be going through something like that.. 🙏

[@xtinaelisa1289]

I love my FFF box and maybe not always all the options but the surprise me option is always there which I like.

[@stephaniemondor551]

That blanket is gorgeous!

[@AnneAndCamel]

The doggies are definitely adorable in their antics. I have use the topicals under eyepatch‘s and they are awesome.

[@KellieRyan]

Your videos always make me smile, and sometimes laugh out loud! Love your sense of humor!

[@rhondachapman7136]

I LOVE the blanket!!!!!!

[@Mollyrae0607]

I was debating on getting this box again lol. Oh all the love to the doggie, take care of yourself too 💜

[@dreamsafar]

One thing I do with powdered/cube water flavor is melt it in a splash of hot water, then add it to your regular water ❤

[@christinagray7673]

I love that blanket!!! 😊❤

[@CheDeco15]

Off-topic but I would love a Tater update! (And an update on Ren too)! A pupdate? 💜🐶💜

[@Lisa-je5bb]

You can chill used teabags and place them on your eyes..use caffeinated tea because its the caffeine that helps reduce puffiness. They feel really good on eyes too

[@janemclean7032]

Tri-caster oil on your lashes really really works!

[@hattiesimpson6941]

Ohh yes please put that blanket on postmark, I love it!!

[@Sorchia56]

That blanket is a 4 year old wee lass dream blanket! I loved my FFF box this month. I’m thinking of getting another one. Just for the lash serum and Elemis face cream! The candlesticks are gorgeous!

[@shelly2094]

Love your videos!!! 🫶🏻🥰💯

[@Alexandria-Ryan]

Aww thank you so much!

[@tatianavelasco1335]

the watermelon cucumber waterdrop is my favorite

[@rhondah76]

THAT blanket is so my style!!! I however no longer et FFF. I like your picks all day long.

I NEED THAT BLANKET in my life!!!! I LOVE the colours n is very much like my bedroom colours!!! Xxx

[@annedacosta2864]

I love your videos so much. I enjoy your Boston terrier cute moments. My Boston terrier has a food name too, her name is Pickle. Last year you shared your fur babies enjoying their own advent calendar and I was wondering if you will be doing that again this year. Have a great day!

[@marymadeup13]

I feel like the blanket looks beachy. I would definitely take a blanket like that on a trip to the lake in case I get cold after swimming.

[@Gigigrandma0309]

I loved my winter box. Picked 3 add ons as well. I did pick the blanket, but I love it! Also chose the robe, tray, headband, earrings, necklace, face masks, and the apron and trivets. ❤

[@87glassrose]

I just got mine today and I was very very pleased! I got the tiered charcuterie board, oui leave in conditioner, nail polish, cake stand, and the lube. I also did an extra selection of the black studded purse. I am so pleased with all of them the only one I was ish about was my cake stand.

[@wendydykens5180]

Love the blanket

[@anneternum]

I make "car emergency kits", and any extras (like blankets, warm clothes, gloves, etc...) can go in there.

The blanket was my favorite thing!

[@erinhayley9948]

Aww sweet Tater, hope he's feeling better!!

[@daniellesalazar1717]

I looove FFF and have been a member for like 7 years?! 🤯 But I was nooot vibing with this season’s products and it was the fiesta box I’ve ever skipped 😢

[@karenrockemam7921]

Your videos are always entertaining!!!

[@AveryV05]

I like everything you picked, especially the blanket🙂

[@allisonodonnell8759]

I got my winter box from FFF and I'm pretty much enjoying what I picked! I got a set of earmuffs, which are adorable, for once it finally gets cold in Oklahoma. I also got the wooden 2 tier tray which I'm planning to use to hold the stuff sitting on my nightstand. Overall, a pretty good box.

[@MsHardysgirl]

Love those cute babies. Im glad he is ok

[@hopeayton3461]

[@shelly2094]

I have always wanted to try the lash serum!

Aww thank you!

[@victoriahayden2961]

The blanket is absolutely gorgeous - I’d deffo have picked that. I also own way too many blankets in my house. I just love buying them.

[@cammie72]

I think for me that stripey blanket would be an outdoor deck chair spring evening lap blanket.

[@AKbaby89]

So i used the Grande lash serum for years, but i recently got the elf lash serum, and the darkness from my lids is gone, my lashes arent as sensitive, they dont fall out as much, and they are slightly longer than they were with the Grande lash serum. Im shocked, but i couldnt be happier cuz man the Grande lash serum is expensive 😂

[@carriem6232]

Oh my... i picked that blanket too and my house is all black and white... mistakes were made

[@samanthadurand524]

If you have any nieces or cousins that would be a perfect Christmas re gift

[@TheNicolevalent]

The puppy squeak at the beginning. ❤

[@amyparis5756]

THANK YOU for sharing this one even though you shared the PR box. I laughed just as much, lol!!

[@DivaPWI]

Pine Berries are related to strawberries. They are lighter in flavor and a lot of times they are white or pinkish in coloration. They are rather delightful honestly. Though I have never tried that Waterdrop thing before. Pineberries are just delish, lol.

[@roseislandgirl]

I started fabfitfun this September after watching you get them. I love it so far, and I am looking forward to my winter box. I got the leash and the blanket, and now wishing I picked the eye lash serum.

[@Ejacks86]

I loved the blanket ❤

[@debbiebush3624]

Good video. Love the doggies.

[@aleigha9141]

I thought this was a great box 😊 the lash serum alone was worth it. I liked everything else too, even the blanket. I don’t mind if my blanket goes with my decor and I like bright colors and it’s soft so I would definitely use it. I think you made some great choices 🎉 love seeing the furbabies ❤️❤️ I hope Tater is doing better. 🙏 sending much love, strength, and prayers your way ❤️🙏
