a relaxing home vlog *cleaning, gardening, self care & more*

[@stephaniehaile6541]

I got super teary eyed during your Bible talk. I'm a Christian and find it the most important thing I do in life, Following Christ. It makes me so happy you're trying to figure out what God is saying to you. That's key. He's always speaking, we just have to listen. Praying for you during this journey! Ps. I love writing my prayers out.

Esthetician student here and I just wanted to give you a tip for draining your lymph nodes… apply less pressure when opening your lymph nodes. This will allow your lymph nodes to drain properly. Forceful tension allows them to clog. When you do the circles make sure they are very small circles with light pressure. When using guasha just make sure you are going slow and the pressure is light. You will notice your face getting slimmer and you should even be able to feel the drainage in your throat. If your throat feels scratchy or you swallow a lot that means you are doing it correctly. If not you can swell your body more and even get sick. Good luck!!

[@btrixie60]

There is nothing more therapeutic than getting your hands in the dirt...feet in the grass...planting and watching something grow and become even more beautiful. It's very grounding.

[@TessableDraws]

You make me feel so beautiful in my own body, you make me proud to be a little crafty house hermit. You are quite literally a ray of sunshine, thank you for being the company I need on a rainy day Sam 💛

It's rainy where I live in Utah!

[@jamiemccormick210]

Samantha. I never really comment on videos but I felt drawn to. I have watched your channel on and off for a few years when you would pop up in my recommended and always enjoyed your content. This last year or so, I started consistently watching your videos and vlogs as they are uploaded and always look forward to "hanging out with you" lol you are such a light and I love everything about you. Your personality and humor and your outlook on life is just uplifting. I think this is the first video I have caught where talk about your faith and I just have to say I am so proud to be a part of your community here and thank you for sharing your life with us. I am a follower of Christ myself and I felt an even deeper connection with you while you talked about your bible and writing down your prayers. Thank you for your content and just being you! ❤

[@CassCharliBecandEamon]

Yesssss I felt this way tooo!

The no empty hands rule would be perfect for you: dont leave a room without bringing something that doesnt belong there to the next room. It saves a lot of cleaning up!

Amen samantha! The more you are in his word the more you will produce fruits of the spirit, love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness and self control. Not by your doing but by feeding the Holy Spirit and allowing him to work through you 🤍 Thank you for sharing 🫶🏻

[@keonniestrickland4990]

It’s so amazing to hear you talk about your journey with Christ, you have a lot of followers who are on the same journey as you and it helps to see community ❤

[@ceebee1461]

I’ve always said I’m an atheist but hearing you talk about reading the bible and making your own relationship with religion first really interested me. Would you ever consider making a full video about your thoughts, feelings, recent learnings etc in relation to god? I’d be super interested to hear more.

[@sonagonzales3345]

Yes! I am a Christian, and I would also love to hear about her testimony and thoughts on the lifestyle. Everyone has a different experience, and I feel so motivated and refreshed when I hear about other followers! I would love to hear her perspective ❤❤

[@FNDingMyWay]

Just throwing this out there since you're new to gardening but GOOGLE the plants you bought and make sure they're not toxic to dogs or cats! You'd be surprised how many plants are dangerous to them.

[@Syl_Lac]

Can I just say how I’m loving the journey you are on! You are growing so much as a person, discovering your passions, being kinder to yourself and staying true to your values. Keep living your life authentically and in gratefulness! I truly enjoy coming to see your vlogs. You are real and you keep it real. I appreciate you a lot. You are beautiful!! Keep going, you are doing just fine. 🤗🩷💐

[@naturallymandy]

Sam I am so proud of you for all your growth. I’ve been watching you for years and it’s so amazing seeing you step into this amazing new version of yourself that is happy and kind to yourself. Keep it up. Love the relaxing vlogs ❤

[@andreamariegordon]

Sam, you can never stop making videos your videos literally bring me so much joy and happiness and I’m a 46 year-old woman you have to keep making them you bring me so much joy I don’t care if you’re sitting crocheting and just talking you’re literally like my BFF

[@annieyang1772]

You're the only KZbin channel that I always go back to because your channel is so fun and truthful. I love that despite being in a bad place sometimes, you acknowledge the truth of the situation. My favorite part is that I love to watch you grow. It is so refreshing to see the progress of your life and you! Sending good vibes

[@emmadotchuk570]

I’ve had such a terrible week and seeing that you posted just made me feel so comforted 🥺

[@amandanoel6648]

Ive been watching you since day 1, and all I gotta say is I'm so happy that you are thriving. We're all so lucky to be able to go on this journey called life with you Sam. Never stop being you.

[@blehhitsmorgan]

I haven’t been a consistent viewer but I have watched your videos here and there for the last few years and wow, the growth you’ve done is so amazing! I know it’s not always easy but showing the struggle and getting through it is something to be admired. We’re all just out here struggling to do life right. The small beautiful moments add up, and the great moments make the tough ones a little easier to face. I’m so happy for you, and I’m so proud of you.

[@julianaroy6991]

I love flex discs!! There are so many different size and stiffness options in the disc world so there is something for everybody!

[@laurenbrown9283]

The most wholesome and calming vlog to watch.😊 I just had a baby 5 days ago and recovery has been a challenge but seeing you so happy and content putting your home together made my night so relaxing. I’ve been a fan of your vlogs for awhile and love your content ☺️🎀

[@brandeerodriguez8536]

Everyone’s relationship with Jesus is different and unique. I’m proud of you for talking about where you’re at on your walk and I hope that you stick with it. Another good podcast I’d recommend is Girls Gone Bible.

[@kamerynfaith]

Sam🥹🥹 I love hearing about your faith. Journaling to Jesus, crosses on your wall, listening to Ally Yost. Having a relationship with Jesus has truly changed my life, not organized religion like you said. I started gardening when my relationship with Jesus was growing too.🩵 Much love to you sister

[@TheOlivejuice2013]

Girl I have the reusable flex disc and it has CHANGED MY LIFE!! I’m able to empty it without having to do anything but just going to the bathroom like normal and the slight pressure from peeing helps it empty. My periods are not a crazy pain in the ass anymore and I’m so thankful!!

[@helenanimocks]

Wait does that mean you have to shove it back up a little every time you go to the bathroom too? Because that’s one of the thing I didn’t like about tampons, any time I pushed to pee i had to shove it up farther😂

[@plumdutchess]

​@@helenanimocks Honestly, that's not supposed to happen. Sounds like you didn't have it in far enough or didn't use the right size. The pelvic floor muscles you use to push, should be below your tampon.

[@TheOlivejuice2013]

@@helenanimocks more TMI, but I only had to shove it up a little when I went number 2, when you pee you are just relaxing so it shouldn’t come out, you just have to make sure it’s behind your pelvic bone!

[@melissamccoy7962]

GIRL! I am just SO immensely proud of you! I've been watching since your very first apartment. You are just such an incredible person! I'm so very thankful you choose to share with us. Thank you, thank you, thank you Sam!

[@suspicioususpectlisa]

I find gardening always so fulfilling, watching the plants grow, flowers bloom and if you grow fruits or veggies that you see that grow and then you can eat it. I love how you phrase things, and say things even if you struggle with something or what you found helped. I hope the dogs will not be too curious about the plants haha.

You have come such a long way and I've seen how much you have grown. You make me feel so happy to have someone who feels the same way, Good job and Much love sent your way!

[@angiewilson5577]

It’s incredible sitting here watching your videos. I’ve watched you for years, I’m trying to remember the first video but I watched you for a while all the way from your Dunkin’ boy crush well before that. You are the reason behind my Dunkin’ Donuts addiction. lol 😂 anyway I love the way you have grown. I feel like you’re finally starting to find yourself and do the things in life that actually make you happy. You have grown mentally and it’s really showing on you, in the way you talk and carry yourself. ALSO I’m like you really wanting to have that aroma around me of grace, maturity and happiness. You have it girl, you’ve had it all along. It feels like you are literally one of our best friends. It’s been fun growing with you all these years. Much love your way ❤

[@libbiegardner5445]

Hi Samantha! Im a licensed esthetician, when using your Gua Sha stone I recommend getting a vanity facial steamer, it will allow your skin to stay wet without having to use more and more of your product you don’t probably don’t want to use lots of!!! Hope this helps 💞

[@Shaya.Raenails]

Big sister moment: The diva cup is amazing. They recommend replacing it once every 6 months/1 year... but with proper sanitation and storage between periods, I've had the same one for 6 years? and only now feel I need to replace it. Highly recommend.

[@Holly.Georgia]

Agreed!! Love the menstrual cup 👏🏻

[@trashpanda77]

I’m looking at trying the hello cup. It looks so good

[@plumdutchess]

Menstrual cups are amazing! They say every 6 months to a year? Rip off. It's common knowledge they last anywhere from 5 to 10 years. Not every cup works for everyone, so the Diva cup might not be appropriate for Samantha.

[@peachesloca1397]

in theory, i think cups are amazing, but could you please tell me how you go about it in public toilets? especially ones with a stall and no sink in the stall - i dont know how you'd be able to empty it without it being absolutely unhygienic and dangerous

[@Holly.Georgia]

@@peachesloca1397 they have 12 hour wear so normally I didn’t need to change it when I was out but when I did I would have some baby wipes to clean up.

I just wanted to pop in here and say how excited I am for you after hearing your Bible talk!! For someone who is just starting their journey, you have such a wise and mature approach of really diving into the Word yourself. It reveals so much about God's nature and draws us so much closer to Him. Its so encouraging to hear you talk about your faith on such a public platform, and I can't wait to watch you grow closer to Him!! Just in this video I can see so much more joy. Love all your videos, keep up the great content! 🫶🫶

I love my flex disc! I started with the disposable ones and then I switched to the reusable one. I used tampons for 15+ years and they were becoming uncomfortable. After 2 years I am still loving my flex disc. I rarely have leakage but occasionally use a pad too especially if I'm wearing light colored pants. I hope you continue having a good experience with this period product.

[@CassCharliBecandEamon]

Giiirl I don’t know how I missed this video! lol butt…..I started reading my Bible in the mornings too. I journal when my brain is scattered and I have a hard time paying attention during my readings or if I’m confused! I loved that you shared your faith with us! Be bold Samantha Jo! You’ve got a tribe that is eternal too!

[@syl_via9880]

I very rarely comment on videos but I want to say that you're really helping me navigate my life. I'm 18 and being a very young adult kinda suck. You motivated me to go to therapy and taught me that vulnerability is necessary and a strength. I developed hobbies like writing, painting and cooking. I just want to recommend something that helped me a lot with the acceptance of my body and it's yoga. Yoga is a sport, like you don't just sleep and stay calm. But it's a sport that isn't about competition. You can't be bad at yoga so you accept what your body is able to do or not and focus more on the how it feels and your breath. It helped me a lot and saved my relationship with sport to be honest. Anyway, I love you thank you so much for what you do xx (im sorry if there's spelling mistakes my first language is french)

The cinching the straps on that dress with bows was the right move for sure. It shows off more of that beautiful shirt you’re wearing underneath and tones down the denim. So cute!

[@elizabethlandreth4678]

Samantha, I love seeing you sharing about growing your relationship with God! The biggest lesson I have learned recently that I love to share is that it is the RELATIONSHIP that is more important rather than the RELIGION. I feel the same you do in terms of attending church and organized religion. I am glad to see more and more people coming to learn the importance of the relationship rather than the religion!! Love you!!

Hi Sam! I use a diva cup and while it also leaks a tiny bit I HIGHLY recommend buying reusable panty liners! I've had mine for years and you just chuck them in the washing machine with the rest of the laundry after you rinse off some of the blood. Total game changer, and they're comfy too. I think I got mine off Amazon years ago.
