WEEKEND VLOG: Health, Anxiety & Wellness! Night Time Routine, New Books & Shows | Julia & Hunter

[@TheMerFree]

In the last several vlogs, I have so enjoyed Julia eau natural and chill, no makeup, relaxed, just being Julia--I'm so happy for her taking an approach to social media that aligns with her spirit and vlogging in her own authentic way! Julia, I've been a sub since 2020 during quarantine and am so with you on the journey!

[@rhiannonwhite2514]

I’ve been watching for 6 minutes in and had this giant smile and then realized I’m sitting on my couch with a giant smile - that’s the meaning of KZbin community and how awesome y’all are. My favs

[@jutka12]

Get a 3 bin laundry sorter basket. Lights, darks, delicates. When there’s enough stuff in a section, throw it in the washer. It literally takes less than 10 minutes of your actual time to do a load of laundry. Because it’s pre-sorted in the bins, all you have to do is dump it in the machine (1 min), move to the dryer (1 min) fold or hang and put away (8min). If you look at it as 10 minutes a day, it really seems kind of silly to have laundry piled up. Always go move the load when the timer goes off and pull your dry clothes into the living room to fold while watching tv at night.

[@rondaspencer1408]

I agree with the sorted bins that’s exactly what I do. I also find it easier to hang clothes fresh out of the dryer to mostly eliminate steaming or ironing and also not folding if the article of clothing hangs, plus that is a time saver.

[@drobins138]

Great suggestion 👌🏽

[@angiefaceee]

My lord I cannot help but smile watching you two and your sweet subtle affectionate moments together! Hopefully that doesn’t sound creepy but y’all are actual soulmates and it makes my heart so happy that that still exists ♥️

[@silviagarciaswaun6530]

I hope this helps you Julia or anyone reading. It wasn’t until I truly surrendered everything all worries all thoughts everything to God and the universe that my anxiety almost disappeared. It is a fact that 99% of the things you worry about never happen. Surrender, have faith and enjoy your beautiful blessed life ❤️

[@blacklablover2263]

The answer is YES hunter, so excited to going on this KZbin journey with you guys! Literally got so excited when I heard about a vlog schedule

[@jadecuddles]

Love how Hunter always compliments Julia.He’s such a good guy ☺️ Enjoyed this vlog a lot. 🥰

[@lk2725]

Julia

[@Emlisa]

This is so random, but I’m an extremely vivid dreamer & I watched the first part of this vlog before going to sleep. So I had a dream that you guys got another visla puppy & he was running around so energetic & booker was an older dog, not as energetic but loved the puppy. I kept calling the puppy booker tho, & in my head I was like wait that’s not right, because booker isn’t a puppy anymore. But then I realized the older dog was goose 🥺 he loved booker in the dream. Made me happy, I hope you guys see this & it makes you happy too ❤️

[@JenLauren]

i have the SAME experience in acupuncture where i can talk myself into a panic attack and then i have to talk myself down from one. it's 1000% a timing thing too though!!! going at the end of the day REALLY helps because you're ready to relax

[@daniela82492]

I love seeing your guys relationship, it’ feels so healthy. Obviously we’ve always only gotten a few glimpses into your life but I feel as if your connection as a couple has gotten even stronger. I love the playful and nurturing moments between you guys. It reminds me of my relationship and it feels so wholesome. Or like Hunter said you have a hard time letting go of control and therefor a hard time relaxing and letting go.

[@edieh6792]

I love it when it’s the 2 of you at home just chatting.. and Booker.. I feel the change in both of you; like an inner peace you now have .. So wonderful..😀😀

[@ASMinor]

I am an avid #MentalHealthAwareness advocate and spoken word performer, and I love this so much. I travel the country trying to bring that awareness on stages, in classrooms, hospitals, and on my KZbin channel, so I get excited when I see other advocates. 💙

[@ItsNikoletta]

The intro song has been the best since day one please don’t ever change it!!! Love you guys 🌸✨ I found you all two years ago during quarantine.

[@beckywrught8767]

Hunter's so sweet! helping you with your Anxiety! I'm also not a person that can sit still and calm down. Their's just so much on everyone's plate right now in the world not to mention on top of our person issues.

[@dianeb3919]

Hi guys! We 're enjoying g a pretty soft snowfall here this weekend... everything looks beautiful. But, it's awesome watching your weekend stuff! Your antique shopping had me at the pretty dining table, the couch, a chair behind Julia...such wonderful things and fab prices! Your videos do inspire...people needing inspiration should tune in. Life is all about making things happen! Great vlog! 👍

[@madeleinerambicourt8950]

Loved this vlog! I love how you brought us along to everywhere you went instead of leaving the camera in the car.

[@drobins138]

I tell you, your vlogs inspire me. I'm now interested in trying acupuncture to achieve balance and wellness. It's nice to know my hubby and I aren't the only ones that struggle with laundry. It's so refreshing how you keep it real.

[@rachelcosta2239]

Julia I have anxiety and have had that same problem letting go and relaxing….I would go to yoga classes and literally have panic attacks during them. Doing Yoga with Adrienne videos at home and working in the anxiety and phobia workbook I got off Amazon is the only things that helped me. Maybe they could help you too 💗💗

[@jessicaduncan6673]

Wait why do you have to do laundry everyday? Realistically you’re only wearing two or three outfits each a day (gym and then day fit), plus sheets and towels so that’s not actually that much… I feel like maybe you’re just so far behind you can’t keep up? might be fun to do a legit laundry weekend and just get fully caught up? My husband and I do two or three loads a week, wash throughout the day and then put it all away right before bed. Pro tip is to dump it on the bed so you literally can’t go to bed till it’s done 😂

[@amybernard5275]

I was feeling the same way as Julia about acupuncture, just switched acupuncturists for a fresh perspective and now I totally see Hunter’s side of it with being an almost spiritual experience! I’m going for fertility and he had me visualize the future I want for myself while I was laying there and I was shocked I was able to, and it was so vivid I got emotional!

[@sabineweber5092]

This vlog was almost an hour but when it was over I was still wanting more!!! Just love y’all so much ❤️❤️❤️

[@lauraskeggs502]

Seems strange to me that In America everyone uses the dryer all the time. I live in NZ and we only use the dryer in Winter and to fluff the towels. Everything gets hung outside on the line .

[@magdaleneblair8032]

This is so nice i want to hang dry stuff more!! And saves so much energy i bet

[@elizabethmckay812]

Would love to know more about your new tattoos. I finally saw the hat on Hunter’s chest - so good!!! Y’all are such a great pair and wonderful parents to your babies 💙

[@dopefreshladii08]

I do laundry once a week for my bf and I. Always be sure to put them away and finish your loads. The way my water bill is set up - laundry every day isn’t a luxury I can indulge in quite yet lol but works for us. Key is to put things away - helps keep the space clear. Love y’all!

[@marionlemos6408]

100% believe in acupuncture. It even works for pets. Our 13 lb dog hurt her back slip disc July 3rd. She was not able to walk. We found holistic vet and now she walking and able to climb stairs. She enjoys her monthly treatments. It’s very healing for body and mind.

[@kiararthur]

with acupuncture, what's helped me is not have coffee before I go. so that my mind and body can just relax and I always fall asleep. I always schedule mine after a long day of work.

[@emily_coco]

I’m so excited you both are enjoying acupuncture! I’ve been receiving treatments for years and I absolutely love it. I really relate to Julia with the anxiety. One thing my practitioner has shared with me before is that TCM and acupuncture brings things up to the surface so that you can let it go. That’s the magic of it! It’s a journey for sure but it seems you’re already on this path anyways 😌 love how much y’all share about your individual experiences

[@emily_coco]

Oooo also a great book that I believe is an easy to follow read about acupuncture is called “the spark in the machine” it explains tcm so well!

[@carlakayy]

At 26 minutes where Julia is talking about her reading! I relate to this as I never enjoyed reading and found the idea to be boring. Now instead of watching tv shows or movies I just read and I think watching yourself shift is so motivating.

[@chrissy4934]

Julia have you ever tried gravity float. Float tanks are amazing in sensory deprivation. I feel like you might actually enjoy it and benefit from it as well as help you with relaxing your body and mind, especially if you have been stressed and had a lot of anxiety. Im sure you would have float tanks in your area.

[@omgitserin04]

I too get panic attacks when I feel like I am stuck - claustrophobia too. Had my first panic attack sitting in a middle seat on an airplane last year. Started to tell myself that if there is air then you can breathe and if you are sitting somewhere like a carwash or at an appt then I tell myself there isn't anywhere else to be so I may as well sit in the moment.

[@emmacarlson4285]

Julia, I am the same way where I struggle with anxiety and am also bad at resting and sitting still. I think it's common for women who are high achieving to be like this. Reading has helped me a ton too. Just wanted to say you're not alone. I, too, wish I could just fall asleep and relax like Hunter, but I don't feel like most women are built that way. We just have too many thoughts lol. Sending you good vibes :)

[@herhealthhouse]

I feel like your channel is such a beautiful representation of the good and bad days we all have

[@nicholeloiacono7612]

Love them! So down to earth with pure hearts

[@lisatebbenhoff9854]

Hi Julia, I can totally relate to not sitting still. But I have practiced mediation (10-15 min per day) in the last year & it has made a huge impact in my day to day...try boho beautiful meditations...love her! And Hunter is right, when you are in that relaxed space your mind goes places...I feel like it is growth in a way...connecting to yourself, your dreams, your decisions, etc. Hope this helps! :)

[@lisanewman7641]

Hunter and Julia - Looking forward to a fantastic 2022! Thank you for your awesome content and sharing!

[@sie2116]

Acupuncture saved me. I had this messed up ankle for a long time and nothing helped. I did Physio, Massage therapy, chiro none of it worked. I finally jumped the gun and did acupuncture. I went once, for one hr session and I've never had that pain again. It's been a year now. It's definitely anxiety inducing but that's the point. It's releasing the energy from you body. The acupuncturist can, stay with you in the room if you need someone! Totally do it Julia! From one anxious sista to another:)

[@audra_brown]

Juju reading and looking in the distance is just the cutest..

[@shardemarcus6992]

Juju talking about acupuncture and not being able to relax is meeeee during a massage. I CANNOT RELAX FOR THE LIFE OF ME

[@Itsvelvetvillain]

Omg funny you mentioned the doggy talk in French because I myself talk to my dog in French. I took 3 years of French but yes that is a very good way 👍🏻 and the cutest thing my dog responds when I call her by mon amore

[@eliyou1886]

I have struggled with laundry so much. The thing about waiting till the baskets full is sometimes it’s full on a day your busy and then you don’t do it and then it piles up more and more. Doing the laundry every day or every other day has helped so much because it’s also less clothes to fold and put away so it goes by fast and you can fit it in at any time of day.

[@katiebell1022]

I have a bin upstairs for bedroom & bath, and one downstairs in the laundry room which is close to hubby's bathroom. He usually has more to wash than I do because of work, so he puts his stuff in the laundry room bin. That way when there is a full load it's ready to go. The rest I do about once a week, usually the same day (maybe 2-3 loads a week total).

[@rachelwildey24]

OBSESSED with kale bruss sprout salad

[@lindsaysiegal983]

I like your healthy coping skills to deal with stress. Such good ideas!

[@JosieDavis1719]

Just a little recommendation for the acupuncture. I felt the same way as you Julia, when I was going in the last part of my pregnancy I started listening to meditations and it helped so much! My favorites are by Tara Brach and I feel like you would completely vibe with her based on all of your recent talks. She does body scan meditations which can help you focus on one part of your body to help relax. Anyway maybe it can help maybe not but wanted to share 🤍

[@cloudcastlesky]

Cool vlog as per usual ! Your future babies are going to be the luckiest in the world to have you guys as parents ! 💕

[@daylynshea9062]

Juj! I recommend asking if you can play music while getting the acupuncture the next couple times until you learn to relax a little more in the room. I did podcasts first because I can’t get my brain to turn off, then music, and now I can lay there in the quiet. For music play like piano or calming music and it may help you fall asleep eventually during it!

[@LindseyBrookeMitchell]

The music in the past few blogs has been👌🏽👏🏼

[@Bettstudio]

hey! Have enjoyed the video as always, a nice scape for me 😌 About Juj feeling like having panic attacks when having acupuncture done makes huge sense and what Hunter said ab keep going and doing it till you get trough that feeling is just like that. I’m a psychogist and that is called cognitive psychology. I have to push myself as well in order to accomplish some stuff and feel like I’m making progress. Baby steps ☺️ You’ll make it Julia ✨💗

[@groovewithme]

For your mocktail you can add a sprig of mint or rosemary and a lime wheel 🤌🏾

[@JeniLamberto]

Sobriety is so much more fun. I love making a homemade lemonade with stevia drops, lakanto classic, water and then I sometimes make a Lavender water so I can shake the lemonade on. Julia, I will mention you in my IG comments to see my current passion. I'm an actual alcoholic and I now see how alcohol is romanticized in our society. Coming home from a social even of any kind sober is the absolute best feeling....then waking up the next day is totes awesomsauce. Of course if there is nothing fancy to drink at bars I drink club soda and citrus or sometimes a fancy ginger Ale. Alcohol makes my anxiety so, so, so much more.

[@esmevalderas37]

We have 3 kids and 1 load every day has worked for us At the end of the day throw a load in, throw it in to dry before you go to sleep and fold in the morning. We never have dirty clothes in hampers or piles of clothes to fold. Similar to dishes, do a load every night and put away. It has helped us stay on top of it. It works!!!

[@starseedcjz]

Julia, I have the same constitution as you. My first acupuncture sesh was painful and I had a panic attack. After (I went 3 times a week for 1 month then less after) I settled down and the experience was just like Hunter's. Crazy recommendation but it worked for me: I used to talk out loud to myself (LOL) and then after took a nap. It's a weird idea but I had to talk out loud my thoughts and restlessness until I got tired and napped! I am here wishing you the best with Acupuncture. It's the best! xoxo

[@CanadianBeautyCuties]

Your vlogs are just the best, always look forward to watching them !

[@barbarawallace1305]

Great vlog ! I laughed so hard when you guys were in the kitchen then you started talking and Julia laughed so hard !! Omg I had tears coming out of my eyes from laughing 😂 that was great !! ♥️♥️

[@MadiBurke]

I don't do accupuncture but I get a massage every 6 months for an hour and a half. My mind goes through all of my thoughts while i'm in there until it goes quiet for the rest of the time. I recommend trying it!

[@mallorydiggs678]

So many things to love about this vlog!! 🥺✨🌳📖🐾🤍

[@rabellafridi4114]

Ahhhh Julia I soooo relate to the acupuncture panic attack! I literally feel the same way!

[@carissasmith1375]

I have always done laundry on Sundays. It’s just a habit now. BUT if you have a more flexible schedule likely one load just whenever you are relaxing around the house would be a good option

[@jessikahmeyer]

You guys seem to be in such a good place lately! Also Julia we need the details on skincare, your skin is GLOWING 😍💜

[@tiaratran]

Julia!!! I would ABSOLUTELY panic being stuck like that during acupuncture!! That sounds like torture to me 😂

[@JessicaRing84]

Definitely ask about working on your parasympathetic system! That’s what causes our racing thoughts and anxiety for the most part!

I’m not sure about Nashville specifically, but in my state most people don’t show up to court for regular traffic violations, so if you show up and just have a conversation with the judge they’re likely to work with you on it. Definitely would recommend trying it!

[@Ladiiea]

Hey guys, I do laundry every Friday, I do close to 6 loads!😵‍💫 that can be bed sheets, clothes, towels etc.... lol, I'm a mom of 2 kiddos and married. So the struggle is real. But yes, definitely plan out a day, makes it soooooo much easier 😘

[@oliviaperaino]

I throw a load of laundry in every morning as a part of my morning routine, whether it’s a load that needs to hang dry, sheets, towels, a normal full load of laundry, etc. it just works best to keep on top of things and make it a part of my routine. Hope this helps 👍🏻

[@katg2967]

Try pre-sorting your dirty laundry. A basket for lights, darks, towels or however you separate your loads. Then wash when a basket gets full!

[@bonitawilcox2909]

I do my laundry everyday, I like small loads because I think it gets cleaner and smells so nice...I'm a fanatic about laundry, so yes.. daily for me,...love your new key chains..🤣...Thanks for sharing you two😊

[@Jlynne3323]

I don’t do it anymore, but before I expanded my business and got some employees to help, I was so busy I never felt like I had time to do the laundry. I paid someone to come and pick up my laundry off my front step, and it was back…washed and folded, by the next day. Was worth EVERY penny and then some lol.

[@nataliebinam2550]

I just wash my clothes as my laundry basket gets full. Usually 1 load a day or every other day. I try to put away the clean clothes every time I start a new load so it doesn’t pile up. I also don’t have as much clothes as you guys though!

[@acsnyder0194]

Listening to you two talk about anxiety/relaxing during the acupuncture convo feels like the emotional (Julia) and rational (Hunter) parts of my brain going back and fourth lol so relatable

[@brendahern76]

I totally get when you said you could talk yourself in to an anxiety attack. I sometimes am triggered when I’m in the dentist chair and my mouth is open and I’m trying to breathe through my nose and then hearing chatter and tool sounds. You can do it! ❤️

[@aleckravela17]

You guys should try one of those Float Sensory Deprivation Tanks! I tried one down in Franklin. I kinda felt how you felt Julia, feeling anxious having to relax.. but I could see how overtime it could help. Coming from a girl who's mind needs constant stimulation. But I felt like a noodle after.

[@_zory]

This vlog made me realize I need to do my laundry more. I always hate folding and putting the clothes away. Also I've never tried acupuncture but now I'm curious! P.S I love the brown hair 🤎🤎🤎

[@JADE-ov1xd]

I made this salad OMG! The best salad I’ve had in my life. I added apples, walnuts, pine nuts, and feta cheese instead of the pecorino cheese and it was bomb. I’m not a fan of kale or Brussel sprouts ,so I was a little skeptical. But I’ve been eating on it for a solid week and it’s not soggy, it stayed fresh ,honestly so good. Also Julia….. please cut your hair and go lighter 😘 would look beautiful on you. A change would do you good 😊

[@plantsoul1605]

You absolutely should express with the Acupunturist that you are experiencing anxiety! They should be able to walk you through a process that will help you relax during the session. I don't recommend float therapy for you but I do recommend it for Hunter. It is an hour in a pod of salt water so you are floating. They start off with music and there are some dim lights but you can go pitch black and silent for the most benefit. Joe Rogan does this on the regular. Good luck to Julia. Hang in there! You have to feel all of the feelings in order to heal.

[@jennycrites6875]

The leather jacket from the thrift store was amazing!

[@26arw]

rewatching this, Juj, you should really consider trying meditation. Hearing you talk about how you can't relax and sit still. the early morning may actually be way better for you, like before you've had coffee or anything to do the treatments.. as far as yin and yang go, you are absolutely talking about how youre in your yang energy. the more you can balance this and sit still and be with the silence and that yin energy, etc. yang is masculine, yin is feminine. when youre talking to yourself, try to just observe the thoughts, and let them pass. i also try counting, somehow it interferes the anxious trail of thoughts. connecting with your breath in those times helps tremendously as well. those spiritual messages you guys speak of are divinely guided intuitive messages.... the more relaxed you are, the more open you are, the more it will come.

Julia, do you have a therapist? I started counseling Oct 2020 and the growth I've experienced in the areas of anxiety and depression have been HUGE. My counselor has equipped me w/tools to confront anxiety and I can see myself growing and working through all of it.. Dunno if you're open to it but something to consider! It's great you're taking time for yourself and working to eradicate it, maybe someone trained in this area could help give you more understanding of what's going on in your mind and heart. I've been mind blown multiple times by the knowledge of my therapist.. She shed light and gave reasoning to the why behind my anxiety, etc. Wish u both all the best
