Brooke's NYC vlogs are everything we need this quarantine!

[@gullbacha2394]

Good

[@lilianazha4350]

Who else loves Brooke’s vlogs? They are so chill and relatable

[@mirandaalexis]

same

[@alana5212]

Omg a "moral hangover" 😄 I've never heard that term but it is so accurate! That's exactly what it's like drinking now that we're getting older lmao

[@quirky813]

Honest to goodness, you and Gretchen Geraghty are my two most favorite KZbinrs in your genre! You are so refreshing and normal and honest, don't change one bit!

[@anne3741]

Riya Patel thanks!! I subscribed!

[@bdbflute]

I learned about you from Gretchen Geraghty and I whole-heartedly agree! So genuine!

[@ElyseMarieee]

(Bc u said u forgot an onion) If u don’t have it already, you should get some onion powder! I like to keep it on hand in case I don’t have an onion or if I’m short on time. It’s definitely not the same but it’s nice to have some of that flavor there! I always only kept garlic powder in my pantry but onion powder is gr8 too!

[@juliar3663]

I’d love to hear you talk about the logistics of quarantine dating if your comfortable with that. I am struggling with ideas for distance dates or like how to decide when it’s worth it to meet someone in person vs if I should do FaceTime first.

[@olbird7647]

Pretty sure she said she wanted to keeping the dating aspect of her life private at the mo....maybe look up 'virtual dating advice' from some other source? Whatever you decide, always consider your personal safety a priority 👍

[@jenpierce1106]

“Moral hangover” is a term I relate to on a deep level!

[@Macklemerry]

The moral hangover is real. That’s my main motivation to limit drinking - the physical hangover sucks too but it goes away pretty quickly. The moral hangover and resulting shame spiral can go on for days. I still have flashbacks to doing stupid shit in college while wasted and get frustrated with myself years later.

[@luisaalba2592]

Brooke giving pep talks just validated my feelings... Thanks for relating with me.

[@GSK107]

just wanted to say, i’ve always been a fan/ follower but the last couple of months i’ve been super impressed with your growth & it’s so cool to see you find your rhythm! as someone who is a couple years older than you, i knew a lot of your postgrad worries would soon come to end, as i had just gone through the same rough period. i’ve really enjoyed seeing how you’ve handled some of the shit life has thrown at you recently- you’re crushing it!

[@addisonswannack]

GC S I agree

[@kermitmitboombox04]

GC S so sweet! I hope you’re kicking but too rn ✨💜

[@hannahkate134]

I work at Whole Foods and do the prime shopping, you can message your shopper to request as little plastic as possible while bagging!

[@michaelynmodglin7796]

i love getting my coffee and getting settled in for a new vlog😂😍 morning eryone☕️🌤

[@SamElle]

THAT CAULIFLOWER CHIP BRAND IS SO SO GOOD!!! Their "cheese" its are SO SO GOOD and I would recommend the nacho flavor!

[@llamaindisguise]

One way you can reduce plastic waste is making your own cold brew! I have been doing it for a few years and by putting grounds into a French press and letting it brew in the fridge for 24 hours. One batch lasts me almost a week so it saves so much money and waste! You can also make your own sweetener by making simple syrup but I usually just use the Starbucks caramel macchiato creamer bc it's so bomb

[@AmandaFiorina]

That sushi looks incredible omg

[@ainhoabergara2021]

i was just catching up with your vlogs, and all of a sudden there is a new one!!!! lucky me :) have a nice day Brooke, and everyone reading this!!

[@SarahSchneider2]

"Moral Hangover" is such a good new term. Also Sunday Scarries can happen to anyone even if like me being a college student and have so much to finish up on Sunday from the previous week before the new week starts.

[@nicoleevans4228]

The inspiration you are putting out is so amazing 🙌 we are the same age and you are absolutely killing it and your hard work is obviously all because of it you should be so proud of yourself!

[@jenecebutenschoen5201]

Just wanted to say how much I appreciate your videos. You are real and honest and your positivity is radiant! Keep being you girl!

[@karlyalane_]

Junior and senior year of high school were rough. Cheers to being mid 20s and rocking life 🙌

[@kailofthewild]

hey girlie! i'm not familiar with ordering from whole foods specifically when it comes to groceries but I usually put in the notes section of an order 'please include as little plastic as possible' or 'no plastic bags please' etc and sometimes they pay attention to that! i thought that might be a helpful tip :)

[@Gina091696]

You are such a genuine person, Brooke. I love how real you get with us on these vlogs!!

[@tobechima]

we love a self care queen! 🧖🏾‍♀️

[@sofeels_]

A tip for you girl, salads last longer if you chop all the veggies and just add the dressing/oil/salt etc before you actually eat them ^^

[@bekca]

I heard that blister patches contain the same ingredients as acne patches btw, so half the price in most cases! Also Brooke you’re totally fine to keep your dating life private, it should always be and you shouldn’t have to explain that.

[@abbymitchell2953]

love the consistent uploading!!!

[@sanissax4049]

I am almost 25 and I totally understand the moral hangover thing! I don't drink too heavily now with the pandemic, so my best advice is the next day to get up relatively early and just get started with the day with like an activity like stretching/yoga or a long walk with my dog. Really helps me!

[@natalieminassian]

Yes agreed! I’m 24 so I totally understand!!

[@giulitignanelli7693]

Hi Brooke! i´m an environmental activist so here i give you some tips! First of all let me tell you how awesome it is that you pay atention to all the plastic that you (and everyone) consume. If you look the packages many of them are recyclable, you can wash them quikly and keep them until you want to take them to a place where they can be recycled, i don´t know how that system works in the US, but here in Argentina we call them green points, you can leave the recyclable products there and then the goverment takes care of them! I´m sure that you have something similar in NY; i´m happy to help you if you want to find some place that takes recyclabe products. Also you can recycle the plastic bottles an the glass ones. Make sure to wash them, it only takes 2 minuts. Then you can see if theres an alternative of the frozen groceries, maybe you can buy the vegetables and the rice separely, for example. And last, even though the store does not give you the option of no using plastic bags you can tell them to put your groceries on the paper bags only, especially if they are fruits or vegetables. Aaaannd you can always propose to the store to include that option, only if you want haha. I hope that some of this tips work for you, Kissessss. Pd: i love your videos

[@megangiunta]

yes yes to the totally twisted gel!!! make sure you use a microfiber towel to scrunch out the "crunch" from the gel w a microfiber towel when your hair is completely dry and your hair will look AMAZING

[@madisonoffenberger6136]

I’ve gotten so tired of the moral hangovers that I’ve seriously decreased the frequency of my drinking. Don’t regret it at all!

[@subbieforever]

the best way to grocery shop and stop eating out as much is find 3 new recipes or just recipes you’re interested in and get the ingredients for them! sounds very simple but for someone who is just getting into cooking it’s a good way to start

[@morganveller2114]

I love how relatable and real you are, you’re one of the only youtubers whose vlogs I watch religiously because of it!! 💗

[@alyssa4157]

also another really good bean salad idea - look up texas caviar. it's like life changing good.

[@yvettereeves5966]

Season 4 of new girl is definitely my fav! Truly all of new girl is great quality comedy/content

[@kaylatcompton]

These vlogs are truly so so good! You're absolutely killing the game!

[@janaelopez1110]

I love watching your vlogs rn. It seems that you’ve really come into yourself here and I’m here for it!!!

[@alyssa4157]

that bean salad looks so good. pro tip- to blow out your candles just cap them with the lid. no struggling to get the flame out, you don't get that smell, and it doesn't get the soot all over your ceiling (maybe i just have that issue lol)

[@kermitmitboombox04]

I’m rewatching New Girl and I’m ending season 6 but I can’t watch because I don’t want it to end! Also you realise that we’re all watching during our downtime and it’s like twinsies - my hair is half braided so I have a full Afro at the front and I have spot cream on AND I just ordered food so someone will see me like this soon. How ‘bout everyone else?! 💜 EDIT I’m a masters student so I will be a teacher next year! ✌🏾

[@allisonleone8418]

One of my fav quotes is at one point you were wishing to be where you are right now! Thanks for the reminder Brooke

[@danielleinfante5086]

Hi ok I started crying at the talk in the end. My senior yr of college (this past year) was incredibly difficult, especially in home life. Every single day I couldn’t wait to move away and tried so hard to get into grad school to get away from my hometown. Now, I’m living in SoCal near my boyfriend and friends and I start my masters program in 2 weeks :’) it hadn’t hit me that I’m quite literally living my dreams now. Thanks Brooke, ily ❤️

[@katywright3724]

absolutely LOVING all this content baby content!!

[@hayleebrenek1146]

omg the comment about the guys from high school.... literally same! I feel like this affects me in the same ways, but this is the first time hear someone else feel this way! thank you!!

[@jojomackenzie]

Moral hangovers, didn’t know that was what it’s called. My sister and I both suffer from that anytime we have ever drank a lot. Whole next day depression is intense. Personally I just don’t get drunk anymore, just a casual social drink or two.

[@LILYLEFFINGWELL]

My anxiety and sleep is SO bad after I drink I can totally relate

[@catherinebaubonis8642]

Love this!!! You said you did salmon in the Airfryer - I know a lot of people have been hopping on the Airfryer trend recently, you should totally do a “cook with me & my air fryer” video!!!

[@amberwilliams3474]

New girl is my favorite show of all time I literally love season 2 and 4!!!!!

[@agatatomicka8537]

Maaan I love what you said about reflecting and going through hard periods in our lives, FELT THAT. Been loving your vlogs and your energy, all the best Brooke! Love from Poland ❤️

[@amritd7530]

Hi not to be annoying or tell you how to live or anything but it’s really easy to make fried rice and quinoa recipes at home ! I’m the worst at cooking but rice and quinoa recipes are easy to follow off Pinterest and you can leave it in the fridge for left overs !

[@Monicablackard]

Brooke you have to do that TikTok where you style your curly hair! I’d love to see how that turns out!

[@malenarodriguez4907]

Your skin looks flawless!!!! 🤩

[@wietekedemar476]

I’m alone in my dorm rn and your vlog makes me feel so at home💞

[@averygaming8707]

I’m loving this self care as grocery haul

[@StellaTaylor]

HAHAHA OMG YES THE MORAL HANGOVERS HIT ME HARD ATM

[@mirandaalexis]

i love your apartment aesthetic at night with folklore playing. a mood. deadass your thoughts on dating during covid is legit me the last 2 months lol

[@emgrace4567]

Hi. I also get those types of hangovers sometimes. All I do is remind myself that yes it was a mistake, and I have to learn my limit and do better next time. It's hard when it's tasty and stuff but slow down, enjoy the ride, and don't overdo it. Remind yourself that it'll also keep you healthy if you don't drink so much. :)

[@mandym6781]

I haven’t even watched the video yet but I already know it’s gonna be good!! Brooke’s vlogs are my absolute favorite!! 😄

[@Meganmakennzie]

pro-tip for bean salad- you can mix with pasta for a pasta salad!

[@csk1452]

Before you scrunch gel in, be sure to rake&smooth in a leave-in conditioner when your hair is relatively wet so the gel has moisture to lock in! I recommend the Alikay Naturals Lemongrass leave-in but anything that's relatively light and runny b/c a creme might be too heavy for your hair texture. best of luck!

[@danimagic21]

i can relate sooo much with the moral hangovers getting worse when you grow up lol they get so so so bad. maybe that's why i stopped heavily drinking cuz that feeling the morning after SUCKS

[@beth1865]

Hey Brooke!! I have similar hair to yours, and one of my biggest tips for styling your natural hair is to not touch your hair until it is dry! This prevents frizz and allows your curls to dry in the best way possible :)

[@chiarapnp]

I genuinely started crying when you said it gets better, because my gosh it's hard right now. It's a time of huge, huuuuuuuge anxiety and confusion for me; I barely manage to get up and drag myself to work everyday. It's as if I was constantly terrified and panicked, I don't understand of what or why exactly. I'm seriously considering theraphy, I think it might help. Has anyone here experienced anything similar? Any tip would be welcome

[@Llm269]

Please try therapy! It has helped me so much and I strongly believe everyone can benefit from it! Lots of therapists are doing phone/video right now, and if you don’t like the first person you talk to, you should definitely keep looking until you find someone you click with :)

[@gabriella8393]

Therapy is worth every penny and is such a great investment. I think just talking to a therapist or counselor just to try it out and maybe see if you like it? Also if you’re feeling confused often times therapists can clear up what’s exactly going on in your brain and it can make a lot more sense when you can kind of connect the dots of what you’re feeling. Just my advice!!

[@karlyjones]

the ending got me...love you & the vlogs brooke!!

[@sabrinap.3307]

Moral hangovers are so real and shitty!!! Completely changed how much I decide to drink because the down I feel the following day just isn’t worth it🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ Gotta just try to keep the good vibes and mindset as much as possible!! Keep up the great content💓

[@imanhawaa8887]

Love watching your vlogs while eating breakfast!! Loved the grocery haul + the sushi & bean dip looked phenomenal!! Love you sm, you’re killing it girl!!❤️❤️

[@perpetuallychaotic6109]

I have never been in love until Brooke opened that sushi box.

[@victoriaehrbar1497]

Can you post the bean salad recipe? Looks great!

[@CristenMerlo]

I love these chill vlogs!! The skin care/life update combo was the perfect vibe right now ahaha also YES I love new girl so much

[@cesiarodriguez7556]

I have a tea bag organizer I got from amazon it's a clear box and has different sections! Totally worth it! Just an idea for your tea bags

[@myrasaavedra3422]

my fave videos to watch will always be your vlogs 💗 i hope to start making my life more of what I envision and that it gets better

[@MalloryJPage]

looking for a video to put me in a good mood and then this video came up 💛 perfect start to the day!

[@oliviaschneider8177]

Seeing you put up a vlog made my whole day 💞 also love your grocery hauls!!!

[@SamElle]

RIGHT?! I am obsessed with her trader joe hauls back in boston!!

[@bridgethoran8364]

needed this today! hope youre doing well!!!

[@mayurikasundaravel9174]

I’m going through a thought time and watching your videos always helps! I wish it would end because I just can’t take it anymore 😪

[@monicalauren7955]

smoothie recipes pleaseeee!! ❤️

[@emsessentials2121]

this vlog is so calming and I love how you mentioned that full circle moment!!

[@shadoskosana]

Your vlogs make my life honestly. Love from South Africa 🇿🇦

[@amynans6084]

Needed to hear this. Thank you❤️ it’s so great to see you so happy!!

[@AlyssaPoplaski]

random, but my soulcycle bike is getting delivered today & im so excited & thought of you!!! 💛

[@bal0n3y]

Herbal essences mousse is BOMB. I’ve been using it since high school and I have more or less the same hair as you!! It keeps it scrunched but without feeling crunchy

[@fancycuatro]

The moral hangover thing is sooo real. If I drink a decent amount the next day I usually feel down/anxious/overwhelmed. It's super annoying but maybe that's a sign of maturity/being an adult lmao

[@rutiemj]

LOVE New Girl!! 2-4 are my fave seasons

[@monicology]

omg i _neeed_ a self care weekend now after watching this video 💘💘💘 who else agrees? - i wish i knew

[@jennarice4431]

For iced coffee you should try a French press! They’re way cheaper than buying iced coffee every day/each week!

[@marybethocain8187]

needed this today!!!!

[@madelinewhitehead6871]

I have to watch every vid as soon as you post

[@SamElle]

A LITERAL MOOD, AN AUTOMATIC CLICK

[@AnamarieLoves]

Wait omg I have never heard the term moral hangover and I love it!! I feel that almost every time

[@katielynch8053]

Bullying from guys is not fun but it makes you stronger

[@antoniajagodic]

Love how you're making your meals ❤️😊

[@melaniemattison5833]

Hangxiety is real! There’s really no way to avoid it besides not drinking 😬

[@Alex-er6oz]

Love being this early for your vlogs!!

[@katemiklosovic7942]

really enjoyed hearing you talk about more ~personal~ things..kinda in one of those down periods right now so hearing that was a nice lil pep talk lol :)) you're such an inspiration :-)

[@rissenichole813]

where is danielle ?

[@laurenluna4443]

That bean recipe looks amazing!

[@myiesha3125]

Yeah i use to work for Amazon doing the Whole Foods shopping and we’re required to use those plastic bags for produce and veggies. It is such a waste though.

[@bethanycookson6457]

I have worked for a supermarket in the UK and it’s the same here - we are required to bag meat & produce etc separately for health and safety requirements. We all hated the waste but the company would be fined if we were caught not doing it :(

[@myiesha3125]

Bethany Cookson yeah i definitely agree with bagging them separate, buts it just such a waste to use so many bags daily. when i would shop, i would ask customers if it was okay to double up on items in the bags.

[@lorenaxcouch]

allisa mentioned you in her video!!

[@TheRosegarden30]

love your vlogs! You inspired me to make my own channel 💞

[@splashofpinkhearts]

Awww I’m gonna miss the date GRWM!! Maybe you could still show outfits and stuff to help us with ideas? :) loved those videos

[@natalieminassian]

Girl yes self care day!💜 , I’m doing my back to school self care day tomorrow (Friday)! I start school Monday August 24! Love your vlogs so much. That mask also looks hella hydrating 🤩

[@delaneyanderson8532]

A great way to reduce plastic waste is going to the grocery store and using reusable produce bags!

[@katespratlin5246]

CBD oil is the best for hangovers and the anxiety from them!
