Hi Octavia- loving this vlog! Please don't apologize for looking NORMAL on camera. We are at home looking just as comfy while we watch.

[@Lexie-xk4qz]

I was thinking the same thing. Some days you’re busy some days is chill 😊

[@OctaviaB]

I know 😅 I’ll stop being so hard on myself . Thank you so much

[@tiyyas3022]

@@OctaviaB you are so welcome! You too deserve grace 🫶🏾

[@thomasinabrown314]

I don't find your vlogs boring. They are real life and I love it.

[@OctaviaB]

Thank you so much! Happy to hear this honestly

[@TracyHasAPlan]

I love the “boring” vlogs and when you cook. This was very enjoyable. Your hair is lovely.

[@OctaviaB]

Thank you so much 😊

[@sherylneptune]

The cooking segments are my favourite it inspires me to cook more.

[@OctaviaB]

Happy to hear that ! More meals to come

[@goldsand]

You inspired me to start vlogging because you would always look normal on camera in your old work vlogs! Don’t apologize for not wanting to be glammed up all the time it’s normal

[@OctaviaB]

Tysm! I appreciate you saying that

[@goldsand]

@@OctaviaB you’re welcome! 🫶🏾

[@jene2314]

Love your vlogs! The fact that you said “winter fresh gum” then pulled out one…start chewing it, then found the file and starting filed your nails. That’s so much my style 😂 Never change who you are be the true authentic you always ❤

[@OctaviaB]

Aww! I’m so grateful that Ive found my tribe online ❤ you guys are truly my people

[@sherylneptune]

These vlogs are my favourite vlogs. You are being a person. Life is like this honestly.

[@OctaviaB]

I know, that’s true. Sometimes I get really hard on myself about not being the kind of person that goes out a lot and I just feel like I’m so boring and who wants to watch this but you guys are right this is how a majority of our lives are and it’s okay.

[@jaquii77]

Boring? home vlogs are favorites. Girl you’re such a main character when on your own it’s too entertaining 😂❤

[@OctaviaB]

lol 😂 aww this made me happy because that’s how I feel

[@DomineciaHunter]

Those were our favorite vlogs too! Just you doing normals regular stuff lol!

[@OctaviaB]

Yay! Thank you!

[@nomusanzama]

Your cooking is so inspiring. Both dishes looked delicious…

[@OctaviaB]

Thank you so much 😊

[@ntombentle_]

😢was hoping to see how the wings came out. Thanks for the vlog honey ❤️

[@OctaviaB]

omg! I ate them so quickly smh

[@BaoneTwala]

Maybe you can remove the spice shelf from the first row of spices so its just on the cupboard, leave the middle one on one spice shelf level, then move the spice shelf you removed from the first row to the last row. Maybe that'll help stack it so you can see everything better

[@OctaviaB]

Yeah I need to figure out a better method

[@tifff9521]

Using a measuring spoon should help with the browning. When I use one with my vanilla and almond extract, I don’t have that issue.

[@OctaviaB]

Good tip!

[@Cachulaterr]

Have you thought about doing a seasoning spice drawer? I LOVE mine and I can see every label facing up and at waist level so I’m not constantly reaching up. ❤❤❤❤

[@OctaviaB]

Great idea!! I just feel like the drawers next to the stove are so tiny that I wouldn’t be able to fit all the seasonings hmmm

[@samanthahenry5817]

For the browning bottle, each time u use it, just ensure the bottle is tightly closed, put it under water and rub it off, then put a piece of paper towel under it, and let the bottle dry .That’s what i do.

[@OctaviaB]

Haha I need to

[@ShadeenDixon]

VLOG is never boring vibes all the time

[@nompuhlatshwayo8475]

Your makeup is gorgeous, I'm in love❤ & looking forward to mastering it. Your vlogs are wholesome & so relaxing, we enjoy them as they are 🥰🥰

[@amyk3020]

Have to say you get a lot done and kudos to you....this is a real job and I am happy to hear that you are making your own wings....how long did you bake them? I was waiting to see you pull them out of the oven. Happy Holidays you are a joy to watch, love to hear your accent come out when you are speaking.

[@OctaviaB]

Octavia, I promise I'm NOT trying to be in your business but i'm a Caribbean girl as well and I like chicken steppers but my guy doesn't lol and he's bajan too but does your guy like chicken steppers or he's like my guy and thinks they're disturbing lol.

[@OctaviaB]

If he’s tried it and he doesn’t like it, then that’s different but if he’s just looking at it and disgusted without even trying, then I would say force it lol
