Thankful for this extra upload on this gloomy workday! My fiancés golden birthday is this Thursday, excited to celebrate with him!!

[@lalalakati]

Will get my airwrap tomorrow 😲😍

[@krissyk354]

Happy Monday Tara! I’m looking forward to another workout with my trainer and getting work done

[@cinthiavirgen6710]

Happy Monday beautiful!!

[@thefumblingcuisiniere]

Gardening tip: don't water when the sun is high, it can easily cause blight. It's best to water early morning or when the sun is set. 😉

[@EkinTumerr]

a little tip for your plants outdoors, you should water early in the morning. this allows the water to soak in before it evaporates from heat and dry wind, also allows the leaves time to dry out if they get splashed, and plants will have the moisture to draw from during the heat of the day. if you do it too late, they might just end up drying before they soak the water

[@sarahfels3125]

We LOVE a Tara Monday vlog! Thank you for making my lunch break 100% better 👌🏻💛

[@hannahmoore4032]

Mine too!!!!

[@gitaben]

Tara adding new skills with the videography during the cooking segment of the video, I LOVE IT.

[@cozyplantlady8044]

Plant tip!! Water at the base of the plant to avoid stressing out the leaves.😁💕

[@dianadragic]

Also water them in the evening so the sun doesn't dry them out

[@miesh33]

just a tip: if you don't drain the chick peas the water (which is called aqua fava) will thicken your broth and give you a more hearty stu. chickpea water is used in cooking in a lot of cultures.

[@taylor5452]

I’ve gotten in the habit of meal prepping, cleaning, and working out on Sundays. I let myself have a slow morning and then get to it all by 11:00am so that I can finish what I have to do pretty early and wind down for the week. It’s helped my anxiety a lot. Feels good checking off a low pressure to do list.

[@juliahumphreys2347]

A good plant watering tip I recently learned is to water them in the morning or evening on hot summer days- this way the water doesn’t evaporate and doesn’t create sun burn spots on the plant where the water beads up :-)

[@ShawnaLorenzen]

pro trip for watering outdoor grass/plants, water them in the evening or early morning when the sun is not very high. The heat from the sun burns the plants/grass if they're covered in water, and can even evaporate the water before it reaches deep enough to the roots :)

[@yolandahoward1099]

Ooh I really like the dark coffee table, Tara... Also.. thanks for sharing the cool outing. Brianna is so nice .

[@laflacamorenita]

Water the outdoor plants in the evening! It heats up too quickly for morning watering, unless you’re doing it very early in the morning.

[@thehiddenlife4109]

My favourite Sunday thing is for sure cooking... Going all out👌🏽

[@jaymeestahl]

I go to church on Sunday mornings & I help out with youth group in the evening so my day is filled. I’m a stay at home daughter right now, so I take care of things around the house & try to meal prep & get as much of the cleaning done on Monday :)

[@anikakoller8809]

Just a suggestion for watering your plants in summer. I live in Australia and we get to 45 degrees C where I live. We water either early mornings (6am) or late evenings (6-7pm). This allows the water to properly soak and not to evaporate, for example if its watered in the middle of the day:)

[@tchamberg]

My favorite Sunday activities are reading, meal prepping, and for the summer laying in my hammock. Love your cooking videos!

[@styleago-go3028]

I peeped some Prince art in Toronto! LOVE IT!! The Purple Fam is everywhere!💜

[@carmenrod6386]

Hi Tara! I usually do all my groceries shopping, laundry and cleaning on Fridays that way I have Saturday and Sundays off with nothing to do but reading, watching tv or going to my boyfriend’s house and just chill 😃

[@x1asheratmidnight1x]

I loved the editing during the dinner/meal prep part of the video! On Sundays I wouldn’t say it’s my “favorite thing” but I do laundry and prep all my vegetables (washing and cleaning, no cooking) and it makes making dinner during the week a lot easier

[@petro3441]

Impressive editing there by the stove😍 Sundays we normally go shopping BBQ and just relax at home

[@TheresaKettler]

Your editing skills just keep getting better and better, your videos are always such great quality. I really appreciate how much effort you put into them.

[@mirandapierce16]

Plant tip! Water early in the morning or at sunset because the water and sun can burn the plant.

[@zeebee207]

On Sundays I usually go to church, do laundry, and simply relax. I try not to do too much on Sundays because I’m always go, go, go on weekdays / Saturday.

[@maciemartin3437]

I have to do my Sunday reset! I clean the whole house and make myself dinner it makes me feel so good to know everything’s ready for the week🥰

[@cassiecumberland]

Tip - water your plants first thing in morning or at dusk! In the midday half the water will evaporate. So it ends up being wasteful!

[@spannajupiter]

Tip for plants from my gardener uncle. Always water on a eve when the sun has gone down. Stops them from being burned

[@rubess3]

big fan of a sunday reset: walk, workout, clean sheets, clean & cook!

[@Amanda-jd8xs]

That stool is awesome! Very impressed by onion chopping skills 💪and red onion is the best ❤

[@baileychicks2]

everything about your vlogs just keeps getting better and better. thank you Tara! ❤️

[@darianleiding9151]

I’ve noticed the same thing with cutting onions!!! The contacts literally help sooo much with your eyes not burning, it’s so weird but it’s great 😅❤️

[@ambreaull7218]

Your coffee table is absolutely perfect! It’s a solid table but not too heavy for the space! Looks great 😊

[@anasantos1348]

Such a beautiful coffee table! Love It

[@vicvallejo]

sundays are my laundry and relax day:) also you’ve inspired me to try and start reading the many books i have stacked in my room! love your videos and glad you had a good weekend!! ❤️❤️🥰

[@KelliMarissa]

That same exact thing happened with me and onions lol.. thought I was immune until one day when I was cooking with my glasses on 😂😂

[@khalilahd.]

So excited that your home is coming together!! Also that watermelon looked so yummy!! Glad you’re enjoying your summer 💛

[@victoriafree2365]

Love the stool!!!

[@Dollytimebabies]

Tara your cooking looks so good. It was fun to see some of Toronto.

[@AlleMaria]

Wow that edit was so cool, with 2 of you in the kitchen! ✌🏻

[@danielalozanodubon8650]

Always making my day when you upload. ❤️❤️❤️

[@michellemcneill5313]

Sunday’s are chill Days . Clean a bit catch up on shows and cook yummy Food 👍 that Soup looked Delicious 🌸

[@talithavda.3942]

Best time to water your plants is at the end of the day 🌿 watering when the sun is still at it’s highest could burn the leafs, plus doesn’t give the soil time to absorb the water enough before evaporating on a hot day ☀️

[@sweetgrl3271]

You can never go wrong with garlic and onion as a base in pretty much any meal!🤣. Your final result for your stew looks sooo good. Also, the coffee table is perfect in your living room space (like any of your viewers would be surprised 😉). Exquiste taste Tara

[@colleendobsondatum3643]

Water in the evening, when it's hot. Glad you are finding great things to do!

[@makeupbymarissaa6530]

Rather than watering the leaves, water the base! That way the water goes right to the roots! When your leaves are wet they draw the sun in more which can fry them! At least that’s what I learned and have been doing 🥰

[@didifen]

Excited for the new vlog, thanks Tara for what you do!!! Have a nice day!🤍

[@venusbucci4829]

Dinner looks yummy! Love the coffee table

[@mizzmindi3102]

Love the coffee table. Looks great in the space. You have good eye for design. 😊

[@krissyk354]

What a special surprise! Perfect way to start off Monday 🥰

[@oliviakraemer267]

LOVE that coffee table!!!

[@gabriellahajjar3497]

well shit i would have waited to eat my lunch if i had known there would be an extra upload today!!!!!! i love watching your vlogs when i take my break from work 🤍

[@AcidGlow]

You gotta visit Center Island. It's a nice spot for a summer day with beaches, lots of walking, bike rentals, canoeing, and an amusement. 🙂

[@elizapedia7045]

Imagine she takes a Vlog to the nude beach and centre island lol it’s a scene

[@int97]

for some reason this felt too short (even though it was a 16 minute vlog 😅) this was such a lovely surprise though 🥺 thank you for uploading!!!

[@malappl7]

Sneaky fam! I just caught up on last weeks episode and refreshed me feed to see this! Hope you have an awesome week! Can’t wait to see more of the patio/back yard progression! ❤️❤️❤️

[@karinnemota3421]

PLEASE! Do a video of all your favorite recipes!!!! Everything you cook looks so good!

[@GGGIANA]

Hey Tara! Happy Monday! Best way to start off the work week with one of your videos ☀️ love to see you living your best life!!

[@sjc1169]

Really liked your cooking montage with a cool edit. That coffee table 🔥🔥

[@kateysandon]

[@mariannejennisch9293]

[@karamelissa.]

[@bcsaxplayer04]

My Sunday is actually Monday. So alot of laundry and prep for the week

[@aprylgomes5942]

Sundays are my favorite! I drive home to my dads to see my family almost every Sunday 🤍

[@thepetitemrs]

I tend to do sunday planning in my planner and meal plan and prep. I loved the new effects and editing you did try here... I saw a couple fun new things and it made it more interesting to watch during the time lapses.. Thanks as always and love you!

[@kassandralove]

Tara, I love the art piece you made. I’m located in Toronto if your going to give it away I’d be happy to take it off your hands when your ready!

[@alexisgilchrist4465]

I get so excited every time you post. Seriously my online bff ❣️

[@krystalcrompton8339]

[@meganrodeck2742]

[@daranycancino5605]

[@Shir463]

[@jessfrancis5433]

[@McAlly12]

What a surprise! A good distraction for some Monday scaries hahaha!!

[@isac9515]

YESSS THE COFFEE TABLE

[@MuslimahX79]

If you like red onions Like I do .. then please try this: Red Onions White feta cheese .. red tomato and a little bit of green chill slices mixed in idk whats the secret to this mix but it is soo delicious .. we eat it with pita bread or Arabic bread.

[@Victoria.Pulliam]

Love coming and listening to your vlogs. Ive been a fan since the beginning! Keep it up!

[@renecates9871]

Sunday for me is an old classic movie like You've Got Mail or While You Were Sleeping and homemade soup or very simple meal and comfy comfy comfy clothes.

[@tammymorrow1842]

Have you considered some sort of book shelving system for the left of your TV? I’m not talking shelves on the wall but a full fledged stand alone shelf. Would be a great opportunity for display. It could maybe bring in the dark wood like your coffee table or glass and metal if you prefer. An opportunity for a small lamp to increase the coziness aspect. Just a thought.

[@staceysun1574]

where is your coffee table from!? loveee

[@annadubinska3052]

Yupp contacts save us from onions all the way :D

[@kayleewmorgan]

Ooo where is that coffee table from?? It’s almost perfect for my new place!! I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect coffee table for months 😅

[@MissMallory]

Did you ever find out? I need!

[@lindseyandrews2650]

Have you thought about rotating your couch so the back of it is facing the olive tree? Keep it by the first set of windows so you can have a walkway behind it to access the outside.

[@ceilihigh]

My contacts make the onion go straight to my eyes😂 that's why I just use a sponge on the cutting board or stick my tongue out to not cry 🤣🤷‍♀️

[@kimberleysze7402]

On Sunday I light cleaning and eat a brunch and work on my embroider 🌷

[@MomsCoffee2]

Sunday Scrabble game with the Hubby, and Whatever else I dang well please 😂

[@virginiakrueger4780]

With the fireplace and tv being dark the dark wood looks fantastic!

[@JessicaMtl]

Happy Monday 🌸 I’m late, excited to watch !!

[@TheworldiseffdUP]

Those beaded purses were so cute! 🙂

[@mikaellabenoit8716]

yayy! it’s my birthday today, so this was such a wonderful surprise!!😭👏🏽

[@imtaramichelle]

ahhhhh happy birthday Mikaella!!! hope it's the greatest 💕💕

[@theajmay]

I love the editing!!! It’s so cool how you filmed in the kitchen while cooking your curry chickpeas 😁💕

[@caseyfaddoul3096]

Girl!!! I’m sure you know this but I just learned to never get my garden when the sun is out. I accidentally like burned all my plants 😭 My mom told me to water early in the morning and when then sun is going down. Had to share just in case.

[@imtaramichelle]

I got sooooo many DMs about this when I put up an IG story the other day watering my plants hahaha now I know and will avoid watering my plants during the day 😂

[@caseyfaddoul3096]

Lol thank goodness - I should’ve known someone already told you. Btw loved the video - gave me the motivation to get back to it.

[@mslisa6824]

Hahaha Iearned this the hard way too 😂

[@gemmabaratti7539]

Absolutely looove the coffee tableee😍😍
