WEEKEND VLOG: summer concert, bad mental health days + DIY health shots

[@imtaramichelle]

happpyyyy friday friends!!! what are you up to this weekend?!❤

[@michaela.j09]

Prepping for my first ever trip to NYC all the way from Central Europe 🙊 kinda scared, any good tips?

[@desireerosales5850]

You made me feel seen… today was the start of my PMS 😖

[@laurathomas6014]

Hello from Michigan...a family reunion on Sunday. My town is having its annual Danish Festival, I'm not Danish, but it's fun.

[@AGloriousLife]

GURL...same.

[@SarahSchneider2]

Hi from michigan. Having a bridal shower for my cousin tomorrow. Last weekend I had a charity event at the zoo and a birthday party for my one year little cousin. So cute watching her grow up. Also great to have 2 fun weekends in a row to end the summer.

[@oxfearless]

I love when you share the moments of your life that don’t feel perfect too. I know that it’s probably really hard to share that with the world, but I’ve been struggling lately with PMS irritability and depression and anxiety and I’m like wtf is wrong with me this has to be just a me thing, so knowing that it’s not just me makes me feel SO much better

[@imtaramichelle]

I feel like we're expected to just be normal but it is so valid for us NOT to be feeling normal during that time, its such shit lol

[@karlab8374]

I work at a juice bar for the past seven years and I love love love that your starting a juice journey, we actually reuse the pulp to juice more and my favorite recipe for a period cycle is two ounces each of lemon, ginger and pineapple w a dash of cayenne and turmeric. It really helps inflammation, energy and digestion :)

[@JillianDaigle]

I understand EXACTLY what you’re saying when you’re getting/have your period. My anxiety spikes, being around people is difficult, I don’t wanna do anything and just feel so off balance from how I usually am. And hate everything 😂😂 you’re not alone!

[@SarahSchneider2]

My mood more so than my anxiety changes dramatically for the entire week from day or so before starting until a day or so after ending.

[@0712alleycat]

This I felt like I wanted to have a mental break down.. next day I started.

[@heathershobe3694]

“PMS is unreliable” that’s the quote that sums it up!! Thanks for sharing the harder parts of life!! Stay you✌🏼

[@cheesypoofs614]

It's refreshing to see some raw and vulnerable footage of you, tbh. A lot of times we see the ultra happy go lucky Tara that we all have come to know and love 🥰 but it's very relatable to see you experiencing the same kind of day that so many of us have had. Ty for sharing. Good job pushing thru, even when everything in you didn't want to. You got this 💪

[@JCSims]

I was in a horrible car accident 2 days ago and I’m so grateful for your vlogs keeping my mind occupied ❤️

[@imtaramichelle]

oh no im so sorry!!! hope you're doing okay!

[@JCSims]

@@imtaramichelle thanks Tara ❤️ I’m taking it day by day but I’m definitely feeling better

[@like.thebird]

Your videos give me motivation to get things done around my house and just in general in life more than ANYTHING else that I watch. I'm so appreciative of the content 🙏🙌✨️

[@PittsburghGal85]

At almost 38 years old I had a hysterectomy due to stage 4 endometriosis, fibroids, cysts and a uterine tumor. For most of my pmsing life I was a miserable mess. I'm only six weeks out from surgery and while I'm still healing, it was absolutely the perfect choice for me. All that to say, if you ever feel not quite right with your body, DO NOT BE AFRAID TO TALK ABOUT IT, especially with medical professionals. Be your own advocate and don't worry if others may judge. One of my new life goals is to continue breaking the stigma that surrounds women's health. I literally do not miss cramps/pre-pms at all! 🤣🤣🤣

[@jenner3013]

I'm glad you pushed through. This was the reality of your moment. We all feel that way. ❤

[@marleemyers3769]

30+ minute vlogs give me lifeeeee. Happy Friday everyone! 🤗🫶🏼

[@CLM1986]

I got Lasik and would 10000% recommend it! It was so easy and quick!

[@Jennyru101]

Thank you for always showing such realness in your videos! I have never seen another youtuber that I can relate to more than you! I truly appreciate your honesty and how genuine you are. You have helped me through so much, watching your videos always lifts my mood when I am having bad days!

[@Jindarella_]

Tara you are the most sane and controlled "anxious hormonal" person I've ever seen! And who says you can't take a day to just find comfort at home during that time also 🌻❤️

[@chantesparkss]

For ginger shots, use about 3 ginger stalks for your juicer and 1-2 lemons (depending on the size). Add some honey and cayenne for a kick and sweetness once it has been juiced. Hope this helps!

[@chrwel02]

You mentioned aser eye surgery. I couldn't even put eye drops in my eyes or even think about putting contacts in my eyes. I decided to to the laser eye surgery and it honestly wasn't bad at all!! It was the best thing I ever did!😊

[@macarenagomez7155]

Thank you for the realness, as per usual. These kind of vlogs are the reason you stay relatable and people keep watching your videos religiously. Also great editing girl!! Lysm

[@krissyk354]

I feel you girl on the PMS. I’m EXTREMELY irritable and anxious and tired and just don’t want to be around no one. Don’t worry you’re not alone 🤗 Also the lemon is fine girl. Once you blend it together you can’t even tell what they were before. It’s all gonna be okay. You got this 🥰

[@PositiveChanges71]

So glad you shared your difficult, mental health day. We all need to hear positivity in the light a negative situation. That is so encouraging. I, too, have had my own mental week this past week. And when it involves people I love being affected by their own struggles, it really is hard. I needed to hear your encouraging message. ❤

[@yolandahoward1099]

Somedays are just like that; so relateable. 11:37 -11:44 It's good that you pushed through Tara.Because.. on the flip- side you are truly living your best life. During the intro, when you took the breakfast out in your backyard; it was something so peaceful about that moment.

[@GarmaNarNar-cm8un]

I have the WORST intrusive thoughts pre period and on my period. Also I loved that footage of you in the car going home with everyone singing at the concert. Wholesome af.

[@marccolomayt82094]

Tara’s weekend lifestyle, truly satisfying ❤

[@icebluemusic]

I’m really glad you decided to show your off days. Pretty much everyone has them, and I’m feeling my own PMS mess currently. I like getting to see all versions of the real you and it makes me feel a little less frustrated by my own off days.

[@1stephanie8994]

For the ginger shot. Dilute them with either coconut water or some echinacea tea!! Thats what I find works well when I make mine

[@sashaleehippie]

yesss!! was just gonna say dilute them with coconut water too

[@GilaBraun]

random thought but imagine a hot tub in your backyard…

[@jessifaithlove]

Yes!!!

[@imtaramichelle]

ugh it would be sickkkkk

[@infinitedreaming222]

So the racoons 🦝 can have a swimming pool? 👀

[@chantalspretty]

@@infinitedreaming222haha true. I mean there are covers but could you imagine 😅

[@infinitedreaming222]

@@chantalsprettyi instantly got a vision on of them doing back strokes in the hot tub.

[@andreabryant1131]

trust me❤ i felt the same way during when i had my period! you're allowed to feel the way you feel❤ we luv that you are a honest beautiful, inspirational, woman!! we luv you so much❤❤❤❤❤❤!! tara😊😊😊

[@keplor]

I feel you tara, I'm pregnant having my lunch watching this and I'm sore I'm tired I wanna sleep I wanna cry and I wanna go home

[@Jacksonvilleplanespotting2]

Awww bless you. You will get through it❤️❤️❤️

[@tolutalksfaith]

I FEEL you on the PMS 😭 it’s so annoying!! Thanks for showing the real side of things too ✨

[@jenarichelle92]

this is my favourite way to start a friday; coffee, tara's video, and cozy on my couch!

[@michaela.j09]

Oh God JB is so talented, can't believe it's been already 8 years since I've seen him 🥲🤍

[@KeSheriff]

i love how you transitioned the concert for background music while eating....great editing!!!

[@princessleia9735]

LASIK was life changing 🤩To literally go from shitty eyesight to walking out of the procedure room with perfect (but sensitive) vision was incredible. But you should wait until your prescription stops changing. The procedure itself isn’t bad at all, the anxiety is the worst part.

[@MissGammons]

Glad you shared since we all have our shitty days. I absolutely dislike that time of the month. I am currently pregnant with our 3rd baby and even though I get a break from the monthly visit… we just continue to go through shit lol. I am a teacher and this is our first week back in the classroom, I’m currently feeling like crap. Three days with my students and I test positive for Covid. I am sitting here having some lunch, I can’t taste anything, but truly enjoying this vlog.

[@hyun4351]

Holy smokes girl, as a mom, I had to reply ☀️ I hope everything heals faster than ever, the kiddos aren’t too wild & that the rest of pregnancy is as smooth as can be ❤️ as for the Covid taste/smell loss, google: regain smell essential oils

[@Miranda_Maheri]

I feel the same way about the days before my period, it so normal!! give yourself grace and patience (thats my new goal). also I just bought a juicer too!! loving it so far

[@emilyhernandezr]

Thank you for being so real in this vlog. I definitely went through the same thing this month but I’m good now. Nice to know I’m not alone. ❤

[@helengrocott6432]

I am going through menopause and can confirm that it feels like pms every damn day but with more symptoms and it sucks. Women certainly drew the short evolutionary straw.

[@Snaphotsthroughtime]

Same here. Brutal!

[@michellemcneill5313]

I am also Meno Hell I call it ! I remember the Days of cramps and Tired Moody And wanted hide in bed with junk food my TV shows and my pets ! I Have days like that now ! ❤

[@mala890]

The hot flashes....ugh it feels like you're being microwaved from the inside out. The emotions....ugh don't even get me started.

[@littlemissliinda]

OMG!! i’m going thru it right now tooo!!!! also i definitely feel like the older we get, the worse the PMS gets!!! 😭😭😭

[@megcreates2.0]

I absolutely love your honesty ❤ I get that way and I’ve had a partial hysterectomy. I still get monthly emotions!

[@SM-ll3ez]

Brady is so cute, and my sis and I love your videos, especially your travel vlogs, you’re such a breath of fresh air in the sea of youtubers …

[@ginaaemelia98]

I am with you currently with the PMS. So EVERYTHING that is a slight inconvenience, or i don’t get right etc. bugs me. So I totally understand! 🥲😂😮‍💨😭 I hope you have a great weekend Tara!💕

[@kellymackinnon8790]

The reason for removing the peel that way from a cook, is the white part (called the pith) is super bitter when blended etc! Also yes to the black pepper, it helps with absorption and getting the full nutrients/flavour from the tumeric!

[@katiebroekhuizen5894]

Cried myself to sleep last night because of my pms thoughts. I was indeed out of my mind and everything in my life felt unsure. It was scary as hell. Next Day I got my period and I was much more okay. Thanks for sharing that it is completely normal, nice to hear someone else saying it and confirming it ❤❤

[@sheilagiles3333]

You are so brave to share your life. Very unapologetic to what is real and true. I’m a fan. I look forward to the realness of you!!!☺️🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🎈🎈🎈

[@aradhana.tripathi17]

I got Laser done couple of years back, my power was -8 and I was scared too. But, it had been the best decision ever! I am so happy to be able to see again! It was an easy process, quick and painless

[@michaela.j09]

The lazy days during pms are a real thiiiiiing, just went through it myself 😮‍💨 listen to your body girl 🤍

[@Peonikks]

Also I went to a mall today in London to try on Abercrombie & Fitch because of you and now I can't wait to shop more and more from them! You always give the best recommendation

[@tonettemarie]

I’m so happy you said that about your period because I be going through the same thing it’s nice to know I’m not the only one

[@Jacksonvilleplanespotting2]

33 minutes Tara?? Girl? Love it!!! I’m in hard!!!❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

[@ryanrowe1975]

Happy weekend Tara!❤

[@nicolebunch1867]

I was looking for the juicer you bought and love the ginger idea of making your own! “sneaky fam!!!!!”

[@megcreates2.0]

I love the “Suja” ginger shots 😊

[@vickybowen5846]

Thanks for such a relatable vlog, definitely know how you felt ❤

[@andreapatin9244]

AHHH!! I lLOVE pms Tara!! SO relatable!! I have pmdd, which is pmsx1000 ok, so I can totally understand how you’re feeling. Those are the days you should take a bath, order in some food, watch a movie and chill the F out… But you are SO frickin amazing and you power through it! 💪 woman. ❤️

[@melissabarajas7420]

Definitely a real video I’m here for! Love this

[@krissyk354]

your weekend is packed with so many fun adventures. i really love the taylor swift era inspired birthday party. so cool and creative 🥰

[@nicoleee_marieee]

I’m the same way girl! A few days leading up to my period, I’m always super sensitive & in my head. Also eat everything & during my period, I’m barely hungry lol. Glad it passed!

[@lvince101]

Sending you love!!!! Thank you for sharing the lemon moment! I relate to this sooo much!!!!

[@lauragilbert8152]

To give you some piece of mind, I also had terrible vision and did get laser. Best. Decision. Ever. Trust me you would not regret it. And honestly being the person it's being done on is probably less scary then watching it get done to someone else. It just seems like a bright light. Most uncomfortable part is the the device keeping your eyes open. Would 100% recommend and do again. I went to Bochner in Toronto and had great results! Hope this helps 😊

[@venusbucci4829]

I can totally relate, don’t worry I remember those kinda days!the t shirt is funny!

[@kiaradefreitas]

Keep the leftover pulp for your smoothies 💜 it adds a lot of fibre

[@sydneyborg177]

I totally understand re: period issues! I have PMDD and it’s such a struggle mentally & physically for me prior to getting my period ugh. Also I literally use the exact same makeup products as you hehe :)

[@Marianne-F]

Feel you with the pms, sometimes i can ugly cry for a week before it hits haha sometimes like now its like "Ohhh this is why i was so pissy yesterday" because 30 years of periods and apparently i still don't realize my bad moods is pms until after the fact haha

[@sherrysimpson4440]

For chill days...you was extra busy! But loved the t shirt at the end 😊 Have a great weekend Tara( always nice seeing ya mom and dad oh and Brady) 😊

[@mala890]

Yes, tara. You're not alone. I hate the feeling, but it's something all women go through. ❤

[@mckaylanitz]

Tara. You should do a cleaning out your closet and organizing video. They are so motivating.

[@cnlish]

Omg I love PMSing Tara, she speaks to my soul. 😂😂

[@AmaniHanna]

THE TABLOID SHIRT AHAHAH amazing

[@georgialound6447]

I've been watching your videos since the beginning and I love all your content, you are my idol and inspiration ❤

[@didifen]

Best notification on Friday 🤍🤍🤍

[@fettatoumert1693]

I cab relate when you talked about vision. I am the same as you. I need my contacts or glasses without them everything is just blurry. One day I will do laser too. Btw I love you so much tara I can't miss any vlog. You are one of my favourite youtubers. I've been following you for years now. Your family is just amazing keep up the good work ❤❤❤

[@Amanda-jd8xs]

Brady is just too perfect ❤

[@AyleenGMUA]

Your rant about that time of the month is LITERALLY how I’ve been feeling these past 4 days and I absolutely hate it 😩 no energy. So annoyed by myself.. my thoughts lol oh to be a woman 🫠

[@imtaramichelle]

its such shitttt! and I feel like we put so much pressure on ourselves to feel normal??? even tho its so reasonable for us NOT to feel normal?!?!? ugh lol

[@Lucillee.e]

Lmao the article on the tshirt 😂 that article made me laugh so much, I just love it so much!!!

[@shellbysy7459]

My pms is hitting right now too haha 😅 and I’m always rushing to get ready. Thanks for the video! You’re awesome

[@cozyplantlady8044]

I’m not very fond of myself either leading up to period time. My fav word when pms’n is fuck. So relatable. We love you. We understand girlfriend 😚🫶🏼

[@kathrynnrose]

Happy Friday, Tara!!!

[@nuchklinprathum22]

Loooove longer vlog! ♥️

[@soffiia]

never related so much, thank u for sharing!

[@yvonnejones8243]

Lovin the different camera angles.

[@eerinoneil]

omg I get EXACTLY the same way before my period. Just so anxious and in my head! Ugh I totally get it it’s the worst

[@Emelyvibes]

12:10 facts, you’re not alone

[@NonexistentUsername21]

The hat is adorable but the shirt is iconic

[@kristitischer6274]

Get lasik done! Seriously! I can’t not tell you how much I regret not doing it sooner.

[@beamorristhomas]

Standard that time of the month + adhd life! Anxiety, irritability and overwhelm. PMS hits us neurodivergents like a tonne of bricks!

[@KeannaLarisa_]

Omg same PMS anxiety is the worse

[@Peonikks]

You should try Hazelino muffin from Nespresso if you like hazelnut-ty flavours. For me, it's the best vertuo flavour!

[@debbieschumacher1083]

Try juicing an apple with the ginger. It is my all time favorite!

[@aprilesalazar7368]

Watching the vlog while eating my Trader Joe's Cauliflower Gnocchi and some chicken sausage. Been a LOOOONG week. Looking forward to this moment! #bliss

[@cheekyandbright]

If this isnt me right now with the pms and my cat of 18 years passed away 2 days ago which makes it a million times worse 😭 your vlog is giving me a little bit of comfort ❤

[@sonja229]

My PMS anciety was so bad for awhile each month, I went to the Gyno doc- she explained to me in a quick way what's going on in my body the 3 to 10 days before my period and I swear since then it's helped me when my PMS and anxiety is at its peak for those 1 to 3 days each month- it still happens but it's so nice to realize whoa this the PMS it's here 😊 kinda like what you were saying all along. ❤ if I remember correctly, I think serotonin is finally released or not all taken up the day our periods hit. So yes we feel the worse the few days before it hits!

[@katehege3137]

Loved the vlog! Sorry your pms was so bad. We’ve all been there. The anxiety is a new thing for me def not fun. Would you recommend your Nespresso? I’m thinking about making the jump

[@ervinsmoviecorner8748]

Happy weekend, Tara!❤❤

[@rach.n.x]

Lol love this vlog! so true for girls when the dragon kicks in 😅

[@918melissa]

We relate, sister! All the PMS love!

[@doruntinaneziri]

I guess I'm not alone with those kind of feelings when my periods are coming hahaha, so yeah I feel you Tara.

[@kimguest2327]

What juicer is that? It is nice and compact. Looks great. Does it remove all the pulp or is there residual pulp in the shot?

[@CyberMercy]

Pink Martini - Sympathetique I'm not going to work, I'm not going to Lunch I'm going to stay on my patio & forget. (Loosely translated from the French) 😎☕💋

[@SusanMyalik]

oh m g ! that is literally me before my period too ! i am so happy i’m not the only one 🥳

[@kristenleblond5047]

I so need to find a new cleaning lady. My last cleaning lady quit during covid for obvious reasons. It's not the end of the world. I now get all my steps in over the weekend. LOL There is always a brighter side for sure.

[@spak3950]

Lasik was the best thing I ever did!
