On the Ohora packaging: it’s black inside to protect the gels from sunlight/uv so it doesn’t cure before you can get it on your fingers. Maybe not as pretty as the exterior, but functional and purposeful
The real question about the dress: DO YOU HAVE TO GET NAKED WHEN YOU HAVE TO PEE!? That’s my only hang up about one piece dresses, rompers and jumpsuits.
Yes. And with the built in bra it's not like jumpsuits and rompers where you have at least *something* underneath. I just wear a jacket to the bathroom.
This is what I was repeating. I love a cute skirt with the shorts sewn in. A dress or romper is a hard no. Think of all the times the only stall available has a broken latch.
@@jennchi yeah but if the shorts are sewn in doesnt that mean that you have to remove the dress like trousers so your top half would be exposed? like doesnt it work exactly like a romper? how is it any different? unless the shorts hace little buttons on the bottom of them i cant see how you go easily to the toilet wearing them
Rachel is such a good product tester. I always see others saying, “I LOVE this shampoo & conditioner” while it has 2 pumps gone out of the bottle. Rachel tests products for weeks to give us her true opinion! She gives us the reality of products and I’m forever grateful you go through the struggles for us. 😂
I like them, but the ones with the gems aren't very good for me. They never stick right. I have like 20+ boxes left that I haven't used because the gems just don't stick. I prefer gel x by far and they're pretty easy to do
Right when you said “Hey Chris, look at-“ the audio cut out and I thought you’d tripped and fell in your cloud shoes but the video was just going to commercial 😂😂
I use those Ohora nails all the time and I've learned a bunch of things to make them last like 3 weeks. Make sure your cuticles are out of the way on the nail bed, buff the nail bed to scuff em up a little, when you use the prep pad let the alcohol air dry before applying the sticker. When you put the sticker down use the wood stick to help stick the sticker down and get rid of any air bubbles from between the sticker and the nail and the edges all pretty. I bought the top coat which I highly recommend because it makes them stronger but it only comes in shiny while some of the cute designs are matte. I hope it helps! And also you did a great freakin job for your first time!
I was coming here to give all these tips too! I've been using Ohora nails for 6 months and they're amazing! I also highly recommend the top coat. It helps a ton when it comes to the edges peeling (even helps prevent the edges from peeling if you accidentally over-cure them). On week 2 I something add another thin layer of the top coat and re-cure it if I'm trying to make them last longer.
I love Ohora nails. They take serious prep to make them last. The black plastic case protects the remaining nails from the UV lamp so they don’t cure, and you can use them again. They look way better than stickers like ColorStreet. I compare them to getting a real gel mani with designs. This is soooo much cheaper. I find mine last for at least two weeks if you prep and apply correctly. After I realized I liked the product, I bought a higher wattage lamp from Amazon. The thing that sold me was the remover and the lack of damage.
Any idea how well they would last for someone who works with their hands? I work in a warehouse and if I paint my nails they last like 2 days max before the paint starts chipping..
Thank you, it's nice to see someone honestly review the Raycons as everyone else I've seen has been sponsored by them so I didn't know how good the sound quality actually is.
If you're aiming for quality at a similar price, I have the Skullcandy Indy ANC - they run about $90 (got mine at Costco for $70), but they're AMAZING. The sound quality is stellar, and they have noise cancelation.
I have the Raycon ones and I love them. The ones I have aren't the full noise canceling that they have since come out with that you can turn the canceling off and on with. But once I got the right size earpieces in each ear they cancel out most sound for me. I don't have any issues with it being any more tinny than any other earbuds I have tried including more expensive ones.
I died when you were talking about the dress & said “I’m a mom of three & let’s be honest a dress isn’t practical” I LOVE dresses but I have an 18 month old daughter & she would EXPOSE me wherever she’d like & not think twice 😂
When my son was born, there was a company around called Motherwear. They specifically made nightwear, tops, shirts and dresses with easy nursing access. I had several pieces. At 8 months old, K figured out that the buttons on my white cotton shirt were what I undid to feed him. He decided that those needed to be unbuttoned “right now, dammit!” in Nordstrom. He was frustrated, whining and fussing as he tried to unbutton my whole shirt while I was trying to quickly get to the mother’s lounge and still keep my shirt on. Sadly Motherwear went out of business and my little button stinker? He’ll be 22 in September.
Mom and I love dresses because I don't have to find a matching outfit/pants, I get a breeze, I can flip it up to pee quickly, t-shirt dresses are so comfy, and half the laundry when my clothes get dirty.
I use to get bullied for wearing my tennis dresses… and now everyone is wearing all over TikTok and it’s a trend. I’m holding a grudge. I’m good at those. ☹️
@@jelemil 10 years to early it seems. 🤧 It’s alright. I’m getting back to tennis soon. People won’t be able to look away, for more than one reason this time! 😜
I buy tumblers from David's Tea when they're on sale for like $15 and they've kept my iced capps frozen for 24+ hours when I've forgotten about them on my desk.
My goodness, I have the "old fashioned" Yeti cup, and it always has ice in it every morning!!🤨 I love wearing t-shirt dresses in the summer, so I just bought some white bike shorts to go under them. Makes a world of difference when I am sitting on the floor playing with my grandchildren!❤️
I’ve had my BEIS weekender bag for almost two years. I got mine in mid to late 2019, and I have put that thing through the ringer and she is still going strong. She’s a little pricy but you get the value out of her for sure. Picking up the mini for my travel work bag. I’m obsessed!
Essie sells a "primer" for yellow nails! It looks white with a hint of lavender iridescence in the bottle but it really does counter mild yellow stains (that's all I've tried it on personally).
@@dawnchesbro4189 yes, but she was using designs that were partially clear and yellow wasn’t the look she was envisioning with the colors. She didn’t say they were awful or anything, just that she didn’t like how the design looked with them
Yes, like one is a tumbler and one is a sports bottle. So they clearly wouldn't perform the same. It would have been more interesting to compare the Coldest water bottle to say like a Hydroflask or the Simple Modern version sports bottle.
Halara is just a drop-shipping Chinese company, so the products are just more polyester (plastic) clothing made with sweat shop labor. They're just pushing social media hard like Shein did.
I used to have a hydroflask and the paint chipped and it stopped keeping my water cold so I got the iron flask, it’s a bit cheaper, and it’s AMAZING. Ice water all day or all night!!
Not sure if they still have it but my Hydroflask stopped keeping water very cold and I was able to get a replacement via the warranty. Never heard of an Ironflask but I’m looking it up now!
with the dress… you’d have to lift the skirt in order to get to the pockets… can’t imagine the looks i’d get in public lifting the skirt to get to my credit card or ID LOL
I don't get the hype with the dress.... just wear shorts or leggings, even capri leggings under any dress/skirt. That is what I do every day. Why would I want a dress that I have to take completely off to use the bathroom???? then I'd be sitting in my birthday suit when my kids hunt me down 😆
I bought two styles of the Halara dresses and I LOVE them!!! The "Jubilee" dress is a more comfortable length for me than the "Wannabe", but I love them both! Total game changer! It's like my yoga pants turned into a cute summer dress 😍
In regards to the slippers, old navy has some sandals that seem to be extremely similar to those and are very comfortable. I didn’t think I’d like them as much as I do.
I have the raycon earbuds. (2 actually, everyday and fitness) I LOVE THEM! Just a couple of things to note. They do have different sound settings so you can adjust for music, podcasts etc. Also they have awareness mode, so you can decide if you want to really hear the kids complaining and fussing or rather listen to your music or podcast. FINALLY they have the BEST battery life of any earbuds I've ever tried. PS I lost my lefty earbud at work, went home came back the next evening and there it was in the parking lot. It had stormed the night before, but that little fella paired right up and started working! That's all sorry for the length, but they REALLY are good, especially at the price point.....omg! Great earbuds!
I have this bag. I love the size and the bottom pocket. But the top is infuriatingly floppy. It just doesn't stay up and it's super annoying while packing.
Best water bottle I have found is the manna brand, (it’s pricey), it has kept ice for over 24 hours. when I forgot to empty it after work one day and did it the next day, it still had ice in it. A less expensive one is the reduce brand which you can find at Costco. It keeps ice for most of the day and has a straw option.
I love your videos so much, they feel like hanging out with a friend and I really appreciate how you showcase the items. Some feedback though for this video, at the beginning of this video, with the crazy camera movements and the video not being stabilized, I had to fast forward because it made me motion sick. Thank you so much for all your hard work and beautiful personality.
I also gave into the Halara dress hype... entirely worth it. I bought a tank top too and I LOVE it. I want to buy more things... I highly recommend !!!!
Rachel I’d LOVE for you to test the water bottle that comes with the flavored filter type things. I can’t get away from it on TikTok it plays constantly!!
I'm no famous influencer but I've been using a cirkul bottle for almost 3 years now. I love it, and its helped me drink more water. Its not a life changing thing but its handy and delicious.
I’m convinced your Simple Modern Tumbler is defective! We have the exact same one. Color and all! I put ice in mine at night and ifs still totally there in the morning! Order yourself another 😉 It’s one of my favorite things! Love all your videos 😘
I wanted to buy the Halara dress, but it’s not exactly an inclusive size range. They only make up to an XL and based on the size chart, it’s not a generous XL.
All the money you save me by testing things is soooo appreciated! Lol I've always wanted to know how BEIS was. Thanks Rach ❤😊 Also love the Halara dress on you though. Super cute. Pockets and shorts?? No bra?? Like what kind of trickery and awesomeness is thatttt?!
I'm glad you tried the Halara dress! I keep seeing ads for it everywhere like the internet knows I like something comfy, cute, and simple. They also have extended sizes on their website, so I'm excited about that as a plus-size person. 😊 Oh, and the BEIS bag! That's really not that bad of a price for a decent piece of luggage. I like how versatile it is! Definitely going to have to pick one up.
I actually got a free weekender bag a few years ago with my purchase from DSW shoes. They have deals like free umbrellas or bags a few times a year and they're good quality. Worth signing up for their emails. You get $10 off every year on your birthday too.
I’ve been using the Beis bag for about 1-2 years now, and I have to say the bag by itself is pretty heavy. I think online it says it’s close to 2lbs. So it might not be the best if you aren’t down to lug around heavy bags. I thought it’d be fine, but now I’m thinking of selling it 😂 It’s definitely really pretty and nice if you always have a rolling suitcase with you though!!
Takes a lot to share that. All 3 of my babies are 🌈 babies but my last loss was during the lockdown and was similar hospital experience. I am still mentally pushing through. I admire your strength and sending lots of love and prayers to you Chris and the family ❤
I have a water cup that no joke keeps my water cold for three days and that is with ice! It had actual ice in it for two days. It is by rtic. I have another one that is the same but I can't remember the name right now. I will add it as a reply when I find it.
I need to know the thoughts on going to the bathroom in that "dress". If the whole thing has to come down every time it would be a no for me. Cute dress and shorts is way more practical if you want the extra coverage.
Giiiirl I bought the weekender in black so long ago. I’m from canada too and that thing was very expensive but SO worth it ❤️I didn’t know that bag went viral LOL
I LOVE my Beis bag, I bought the Everyday Tote last year and it's perfect for short trips like back and forth to my parent's house. It also has a little clutch that you can detach which is actually my go-to crossbody right now! TLDR; it's expensive (compared to bags you could get on Amazon) but it's worth it, great quality and very very cute.
I’ve been using Dashing Diva Gloss strips for a few months now and I LOVE THEM! I make sure I use the alcohol pad and push back my cuticles no also use a buffer to smooth out any rough spots on top of my nails. I apply the strip, cut down the extra with scissors and then use a nail file in a downward motion to remove the excess strip. I also use Sally Hansen Gel Topcoat to seal them and seal the tips also. My nails look so cute for 2-3 weeks. I’m obsessed. They have adorable designs and fun colors and each set it around $8. They also have strips for pedicures. Again, I’m obsessed. I chose this brand because I didn’t want to have to soak them off in acetone. When you are ready, they peel off like a sticker. ❤️
The pirate ship in beginning brought me so much nostalgia. My brother used to have that like 3--4 years ago. Also got flashbacks of the noises it made which I didn't like lmbooooo
I think the easiest way to trim them is with the nail file, u file downward on the tip and then it'll pull right off no cuting involved. Not sure if i explained that right but it get them perfect every time
I use the Contigo water bottles and it keeps ice cold overnight. Cheaper than that water bottle. Straw screws off to clean and doesn’t separate when drinking from it. I’ve had them for years and they hold up well.
I have all three. I have a *very large* coldest water bottle that is honestly like growler sized. It does keep ice water ice cold for about 36 hours when filled with ice and water. I keep it on my nightstand. My simple modern cup keeps ice water cold for about 24 hours. I drag it all over the house with me and fill it with ice once a day. My swell bottle is harder to report on because it’s *so small* that it has to be refilled constantly but I have left it in the car accidentally and had it perform over 24 hours in spring time temps. Mind, this is all starting with the container full of ice and refrigerated filtered water.
My take on the beis bag : it looks like it's worth the price. But the sticking point for me is the structured bottom, because it makes the bag stick out awkwardly when you're carrying it. Fine if you're travelling by car, not so practical if you have to take public transport at any point
You really want to properly prep your nails before you apply those gel nail things. Push back & nip cuticles, buff nails, dehydrate nail beds. Makes a huuuge difference in look & longevity.
That review reading was everything! Bravo! Bravo! Now about those slipper things. Have they been consigned to the “boneyard” as James White from Freakin’ Reviews called the shelf in his garage or are actually using them despite the fact they’re clearly too wide for your feet? As for the water bottles, S’well clearly won. And it’s the best price.
Could you pack the bag still if you had your laptop in it? I’ve been debating getting that bag, but always have to have my laptop with me for work. That would be great info 😊
Due to how it closes with the structured opening it looks like you can fit more inside than you really can with a laptop. I definitely can't pack it as full with my 15" MacBook inside without feeling like its going to break the screen or something with the pressure of my clothes squeezing against the sides when I go to close it. Typically I end up throwing a few things in with my shoes to alleviate that problem since packing the bottom super full has no impact on the laptop. It fits enough for a weekend with a laptop (if you pack smart or aren't an overpacker like me a long weekend) but you will likely need to put toiletries in the bottom compartment. TBH I only really use it for summer weekend/long weekend road trips bc thick sweaters, jackets, and jeans are way more difficult to fit in with a laptop than thin summer clothes. Also it is horrible to wear through an airport as a carry on, my poor shoulders were miserable. The straps dig in like crazy and the fact that its fabric means that one side of the laptop is more exposed to damage if something hard or sharp hit the side of your bag. In my opinion it's not worth the money- the mini would probably be more worth it since you could use it as your personal item on a plane and roll it around the airport on top of your carry on suitcase but it likely wouldn't be as good as a stand alone for a long weekend due to the smaller size.
I will add that I have had it for two years at this point and it has held up extremely well. The bottom part doesn't hold it's shape very well after the first couple of uses but I pack it full enough that it never really matters lol. It's lasted through countless road trips and two airport trips!
Well I went and bought that damn dress because of you… first dress I’ve purchased in probably close to a decade and it’s amazing! I’m bustier, and while I wouldn’t go for a run in it, it’s nicely padded and hefty enough to keep the girls up nicely. Mine doesn’t have shorts underneath though - it’s a whole thing up to the straps - like a bodysuit almost so did I misread everything on it??? Doesn’t matter because it’s super nice so thanks ♥️
I’d like to see the ice test with the coffee cup SM lid. My hubs has a conniption if I have any non-spillproof containers of water near our bed, and I hate using more than one cup for all my water intake because it’s harder to track daily. So in the daytime, I use the cold straw lid and overnight, I have the hot beverage lid for my cold water by the bed, and it stays nice and cool.
I have a Swell and Hydroflask and MANY other cheaper bottles but they never can compare to the Swell and Hydroflask. Its the triple and double insulation that they use. I am a little more partial to my Swell because it's easier to hold and I like the filter better than the life straw filter for Hydroflask. I used the Swell one all day at Disney World in the sweltering heat and still had ice in it at night.
Just FYI, a lot of these can stretch well with a hairdryer. And filing them, works awesome, versus cutting. If you just fold it over the end of your nail and file them, it works uhhhmazing! 🥰
I’m glad someone is talking about raycons not being the best of all time. I really hated how sensitive the button is, I’d accidentally hang up on people or pause my music just to try to push them back into my ear.
You should try the Frank Green water bottles! It's so much better than any other water bottle I have ever used and it usually keeps ice in it for a good while. I have to have a lot of ice in mine and I fill it with ice, then water. Plus the button at the top opens and closes it! I love mine!
Ohhh I need a bag like that for when I can finally travel abroad again to visit my family! Also interesting feedback on the raycons, been wondering how good they are
I loved the bag!! OMG. but i dont think there's any to be sold in Brazil, and even if there is, it will be way too expensive. Things are way cheaper in the US or Canada... oh well... But Rachh, you looked so cute as a barbie lol. we dont normally see you in this bright pink but u looked v cute. Oh, the dress looked like it was kinda like a sportswear material, maybe? felt a little like yoga pants material for me but idk, anyway, it was really game changing
For waterbottles test - would be interesting to see what the results would be with equal amount of water in them. Because the other 2 bottles had more water in them, then it is obvious that same amount of ice cubes in them will melt a lot quicker. I bet you did not use super cold water there either, but just tap water? Then the ice would almost immediately melt, trying to cool the water.
That review is so me. I leave very dramatic reviews. I offered to remove my review once and the company quickly came back with NO! It was three stars cause I wanted them to see it. I talked about dragons.
Just a tip for anyone using hot/cold water bottles... You should preheat or precold your bottle by putting either hot water or ice to get the metal inside the bottle closer on temperature to the liquid you are going to put inside... If not, the inside of the bottle will change the temp of the liquid you put in in the first few minutes.
I just died from laughing with such joy from hearing your dramatic read of that review in the end. Well done 👏🏆😇 And thank you Kayla L for this awesome piece of art. Lots of love to all of you ❤️💕💕
Have had the Raycon Earbuds for a year and have liked them a lot, but the battery life has greatly decreased over time. My left earbud only lasts 30 minutes now.
I go to the gym everyday and use the Raycon actives only! I have the airpod OG’s and the AirPods Pro and it got to the point where I had to only wear headbands or the AirPods would fall out constantly. The “active” Raycons were alittle more expensive then the everyday ones so that’s probably different in someway, but they have never ever fallen out! The sound quality is not the same but I just turn the volume up and im good to go, the only big difference is they arnt as noise cancelling as the pods. Just wanted to give my take for Raycon but a different kind 🙃
Tips for the nails! Because my nails suck at keeping ish on, I also have wide nails. I have done a lot of trial and error because the first round wasn't the best? I do my fingers first before my thumb. I do buff them before I even start. I press the gel nail down with the flat edge of the cuticle pusher and make sure they are down good before putting them under the lamp. I do the two rounds and follow it up with a gel top coat, I use theirs. The set I have on chipped for the first time, like a chunk came off my pointer but I think I did something? But overall.. I love these nails. I want more. Sorry this was so long.
First off fantastic video! I love everything you put out. I like my weekender bag, however I got the bag when it pretty much first came out and my biggest complaint was the bottom compartment didn’t have any structure to it and your shoes would be squished. It looks they improved it, I wish I waited to buy it I would so much rather have the bottom compartment have structure to it 😭
I bought the Beis weekends bag in the olive color over a year ago. No regrets! I also got the makeup bag. It's good, but the Allie Glines are my favorite.
