Sooo proud of you for taking care of your teeth and flossing! I’m a dental surgeon and trust me when I say, fake teeth (meaning implants) are not as good as real (God given) teeth. And problems can happen around implants. It’s like wanting a prosthetic leg more than your real leg. So keep it up! It’s worth it 👩🏾‍⚕️🦷🪥 love your channel! 😘😘😘

[@OctaviaB]

oh wow! I didn't know all of this! thanks for letting me know

[@BecomingKamisha]

Legit the only 40 minute vlog I could ever sit through without fast forwarding! Haha love it! It’s the new life transition for me😏🥰

[@OctaviaB]

Aww Tysm 🤍

[@lannbcreative]

[@thescripturevault]

You truly inspire me octavia! I admire your poise and elegance! God bless you!

[@OctaviaB]

thank you love!

[@Michaeleism]

Octavia, you are aware and awake. Maybe your dream is a message, that shouldn't be taken lightly. I've talked to many people, that have had the same dreams or feelings. I used to have dreams like that too. Most of them came true. I am all for living in the moment and living life well. However, we do live in the physical and spiritual realm. Every now and then, the veil comes down and we are fortunate to get a glimpse into the spiritual realm through our dreams. It's a gift to be able to experience that, so you can be ready for whatever happens in the future. Take care.

[@jessicafianko]

Happy Monday Octavia 😊😊 Today's vlog was amazing 🤩 Sending love 🤍🤍🤍

[@ValerieCradd_]

Octavia, you are such a vibe. The white walls look really good 😊

[@AshzxQuidYT]

I ❤️ how it was go time when you went back to your apartment. The hair was done the cream makeup was flawless. You really bossed up your whole demeanor changed. I know you know this but don't let your relationship dim this part of you. KZbin Octavia all dolled up is a whole vibe. Before anyone comes to correct me. I'm married and have been for 30 years.

[@OctaviaB]

Thanks for that advice. Agreed 100%

[@antoinetterochester2952]

Thanks for saying this, because I was about to say the same thing.

[@snenhlanhlankutha1340]

[@OctaviaB]

Glad you enjoyed🤍

[@mochamommyATX]

I am an OEF/ OIF Veteran, so I understand how paralyzingly nightmares can be for ME and my spouse. Hang in there sis, the sun 🌞 rises in the morning.

[@davenejonas4375]

Wow that's a crazy dream! Pray girl! ❤

[@desmamccormick-singleton8275]

Whew, that dream!!! I shouldn’t have been laughing, but good Lord that was hilarious! Meds will have you out your mind sleep and awake! Loved the vlog though, as always. ❤️

[@OctaviaB]

Right!! Lawd

[@tiffanygarner9484]

The way I laughed while you retold your nightmare, and that music took me out . Great editing choice

[@j.a2478]

That dinner outfit was definitely a look 😍

[@chandamochaswirl]

Listen if it's good for the body it will be expensive including grocery items. But I'm healthy and happier with that. Enjoyed watching😍

[@CariLethoko]

Yay! Just as I sat down to watch some KZbin 😊😊😊 hi Octavia ❤

[@officialsyddinpretty]

Girl ugh ugh. I'm very big into dreams. That dream is prophetic imo. Maybe more on the metaphorical side but I don't believe it came out of "nowhere". Thanks for sharing lol

[@OctaviaB]

Could be! Thanks for listening

[@allthingsnae8933]

Hey girl , always enjoy your vlogs.

[@kidsfirst9918]

2:28 I loooove La Roche products, been using them for years. Their cleanser, effaclar cream and serums are amazing!!!

[@ashleyfordyce9659]

The L brand has good affordable organic pads and tampons! My cramps got so much better after switching

[@ms.kiuteazz8484]

Ong I just love your videos ..the way you do your makeup … neat and polish … your beautiful….. as for 2022 I need to leave that year behind lot of hurt and I’m not having it this year …. I’m looking forward to being a content creator… but… I’m a lil scared …. Imma pray on it … Thanks Mena 😊

[@mimilynn5619]

Gurl I been waiting on you. ❤❤❤

[@yayadrew]

I always like before watching. Luv your vlogs or anything you post lol. What do you get when you do your nails? Sns or gel polish? I use Honeypot liners, pads and tampons I definitely noticed a difference. Never going back to the chemical ones.

[@user-rw4ef1ik5z]

I love the way you do your makeup. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@JoAnnMaria72]

Octavia you should create a cooking channel as well. I enjoy watching you make your delicious meals 😊

[@lifewithGloreeb]

Gosh, I hate those types of dreams!!!! The way you narrated it was sort of funny though, but I know dreams do have meanings! I pray you have more restful nights!

[@OctaviaB]

Hahah I know

[@samcox718]

Loved the vlog❤

[@Travel_Career]

Great video. Same thing happens to me when I workout and sweat I start to notice white spots to the areas of sweat. So immediately I have to shower after and noticed that results in breakout not happening.

[@varietywithnandy]

Yay my fav,just uploaded 😍

[@xfourxseasonsx]

yay my girl uploaded

[@lexcilately]

Your night out look was sooo cute. I need new boots

[@patrececritiques]

The cool-down after a workout or being sweaty is a Jamaican thing that has been ingrained in us. I don't know if I will get sick but I don't want to risk it lol.

[@OctaviaB]

Same! It was told to me so much that I believe it haha

[@jenniferboldeau9313]

A whole Caribbean thing. I do it too.

[@varietywithnandy]

Please share with us how you go about settings goals or content planning schedule and all that..planning and goals

[@womenstriving8960]

Someone needs to make a movie out of that dream! 😂 plot twist… it’s mother nature trying to get the world purged 😂 anywho first time viewer and loving it 😊

[@2281Dee]

Lol the nightmare description with the suspense music took me out 😂😂

[@OctaviaB]

😂🤣

[@georgianelson1037]

Who nuh love this lady right here. Sometimes I'm just in awe of you, O. I like that everything doesn't have to be perfect with you.

[@Jasmine-uu2xo]

I like how you add the reels to the end of the vlogs, it makes it seem like the ending credits to your videos! What if you put your brushes in the dishwasher? 😂

[@OctaviaB]

hahaha idk about that

[@shervondavid6882]

Your dream was so funny😂. If your dream was a person it would say “STOP SHOPPING” But life would be so boring 😩

[@tanyacruickshank5305]

Just came across your channel and love it! Especially when you kick-in the Jamaican patois 🥰. Where do you purchase your headbands from??

[@siyandapatel5470]

It's the dream story and the song for me😂🙇🤍

[@OctaviaB]

Hahahah

[@jessicacumberbatch]

“A hole in the ground that talks” 😂😂😂 hilarious!!

[@OctaviaB]

They were people in the hole 🕳️😅

[@its_Neyah]

Sis with the content 🙌🏾💯

[@DheandraNicolette]

Thank you for showing us the brush trick. I legit was thinking about trying this last night but I was scared it'd ruin some of my brushes, but tbh I hate washing makeup brushes so I'm gonna try it!

[@OctaviaB]

Try it - I’m never going back

[@JulisaNicole]

Hey I Octavia ! I was so happy to see you changing your feminine hygiene products. It’s a very worth-it change to make however washing your makeup brushes with tide falls in the same category there are chemicals in the most popular household cleaning products that affect our hormones. Please look into Endocrine disruptors 💕 Also, I laughed so hard at the dream break down lol the music too funny !

[@ashliepickering433]

Omg!!!! Ok, so I'm not the only one that has the worst nightmares taking Benedryl. I thought that only happened to me 🤪 I also expierence this while taking NyQuil for Cold&Flu symptoms.

[@OctaviaB]

Omg! Finally- I was hoping someone had experienced the same because I have the worst dreams taking that thing. A few weeks back I was a fish 🐠 and I’m tired of the ocean so woke up immediately scared! 🤣

[@indragandy5622]

That is an incredible dream! You must write a full story based on it!

[@OctaviaB]

Haha

[@1hotface]

Girl, I almost had a mild heart attack for your brushes!!! If you want to keep your brushes for awhile, stop washing those brushes in the washing machine. What's going to happen is the ferrule which houses the brush hairs with glue is going the loosen up and you will start losing a lot of hair and also the ferrules will eventually separate from the handle. Best way is to unfortunately wash them one by one holding them down all the time while using with water and mild shampoo, squeezing the water out of brushes and lay them down on a towel slightly in a angle going down.Try rolling a towel on one end so you can place the handle of the brush on the roll part so the water can go down and out of brush. Hope this helps, I've been doing makeup for 20 plus years, so I know, Thank for listening to my TED talk. 🙂

[@investedfemelle7564]

The nightmare took the cake for me 😂😂😂😂

[@OctaviaB]

hahahaha

Check out Lumens lighting for your chandalier/light fixtures

[@mapsycallsdibs]

You can get L. Brand pads and tampons from Target. They are a woman owned brand and they are very reasonably priced!

[@OctaviaB]

[@RosJanaRoses]

Enjoyed the vlog 🔥❤️

[@xoxokaebeauty]

Love your dutchie Sis….you ah gwaan wid uself! Wow Octavia….tamarind balls…its been a minute!

[@jenf836]

Use chili powder instead of the mix packet.and tomato sauce alone also. No spaghetti sauce

[@nerd-girl]

Benadryl and Melatonin can induce dreams. I had a similar experience except I was with Jay Z and we were trying to find Beyoncé because she could deduce a code to save us 😩

[@centianight]

😂😂😂 did y’all find her?

[@nerd-girl]

@@centianight I had to pee so I got sidetracked 😭 But I really had to pee in real life so I woke up pressed af . Threw that melatonin out🥲

[@TES-qf7du]

Funny dream😅

[@blackwomanminimalist]

Say your Caribbean without saying your Caribbean: you are centered by eating a tamarind ball. 😂😂😂. Love it.

[@OctaviaB]

Hahaha right!

[@birdsetfreenyc5740]

Hey girl! Love your content and your style! Where is your white tee shirt top and jeans from in the part of the video where you are cooking? Super cute and they look like good quality😊

[@OctaviaB]

I’ll link all items soon! But top aritzia and jeans Zara

[@SpirituallyAbstract]

Wow, I haven’t been this early in a min 😂 🤎

I spit out my water when you said “the monsters” in a serious voice.

Hi Octavia, my little girl is experiencing hyperpigmentation on her ankles can you tell me what you are using?

When you buy your Uggs get the leather ones. Thank me later🤣🤣❤️

[@AyannaWoods]

Great video 😊

[@avmakeme]

Hi Octavia, love your content! I don’t know if you are open but the menstrual cup really has been a game changer for me. It’s totally cost effective especially since you only make the purchase once and it said to last several years. No chemicals, changing pads or tampons as often. I will never look back. Also I don’t want to be invasive but I got confused as I know you moved recently in your APT. I’ve been MIA and see you are in a new place. May I ask wht city your in? I’m guessing love is flourishing in your life. Good luck in all that comes your way!

[@DaisyMae19138]

Mine got STUCK so I was one and done…I’m having a hysterectomy soon so those days will be over for me!!

Why did I laugh so hard at brush cleaning hack lol

[@yolanag]

I feel like the companies jack the prices all the way up on stuff people want to buy. Organic and healthiness are very very important nowadays and the companies know that people would pay anything to have the best of the best.

[@WealthwithAmberJack]

We need the white pajamas and bra link, gorgeous!

[@SeraWright0]

I think Octavia has been watching “Lost “ series hence the nightmares. 😊

[@OctaviaB]

haha I have watched LOST so maybe but so strange! I'm definitely not taking Benadryl anymore

[@Squidwardsangryface]

La roche posay is a staple for years in France so funny to know that in America it s « new »
